1
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

2
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 2: Pray for our enemies because we're going to medieval on

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: these people.

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 3: You've not got a free shot on all these networks

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 3: lying about the people.

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 4: The people have had a belly full of it.

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: I know you don't like hearing that.

8
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 5: I know you've tried to do everything in the world

9
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 5: to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.

10
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: It's going to happen.

11
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 5: And where do people like that go to share the

12
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 5: big line? Mega media?

13
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 6: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of

14
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 6: these people had a conscience.

15
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 7: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

16
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 4: If that answer is to save my country.

17
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 8: This country will be saved.

18
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:45,080

24
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 5: you will not even know me. It goes back so long,

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 5: back to the days of Warroom impeachment. But here I

26
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 5: am outside the US Capitol here in Washington, DC, bringing

Speaker 5: you a very special episode of the Warroom today. It's

28
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 5: been a long time. It's been six seven eight years

29
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 5: since all of this started. And before that we had

30
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 5: the Bright Bart radio show on Sirius XM. Long time

31
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 5: Stephen K. Bannon fans and some the very few Raheem

32
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,199
Speaker 5: Cassam fans will know about that. And it's been since

33
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 5: back then that we've done these Boxing Day specials. And

34
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 5: the Boxing Day specials allow me to catch you up

35
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 5: on what's going on a little bit here behind the scenes,

36
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 5: a little bit of what's going on in the media world.

37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 5: I am, of course, the editor in chief of the

00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 5: today again allowed me to host this very special edition

44
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 5: of the war And we're not going to be broadcasting

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 5: just from here outside the US Capitol, but I'm going

46
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 5: to bring you some of the things. Some of you

47
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 5: will have noticed that over the course of the last

48
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 5: year especially, I've been a little a well I've been

49
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 5: away from the warroom. I've been away from most television interviews,

50
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 5: and there are a couple of reasons for that. One

51
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 5: is personal health wise, and I'm working through some of

52
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 5: those things, and for those of you who know about them,

53
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 5: thank you for your thoughts and your prayers throughout all

54
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 5: of that. But the second one is I wanted to

55
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 5: get back out there. You know, when we were doing

56
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 5: the Brexit stuff back in twenty fourteen, fifteen and into

57
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 5: twenty sixteen, we're out there all day, every day. The

58
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 5: same thing happen in twenty seventeen and eighteen. We were

59
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 5: flying all over Europe getting to see exactly what was

60
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 5: going on on the ground. In the last couple of years,

61
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 5: I found myself a little too tied to the desk,

62
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 5: a little too tied to the screen. And so for

63
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 5: the last year I've been out there rebuilding a couple

64
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 5: of things. And I want to take you over the

65
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 5: next couple of hours that we have together on this

66
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 5: very important Boxing day, on that journey, on a journey

67
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 5: of what's been going on in the media, what's been

68
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 5: going on with the national pulse, what's been going on

69
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 5: with Butterworths, what's been going on well in our own movement,

70
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 5: and I think a lot of you, While I hope

71
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 5: you had a wonderful and RESTful and peaceful Christmas, I

72
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 5: think a lot of you understand that we really do

73
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 5: stand at a really, really strange, an awkward, and uncomfortable

74
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 5: position in this movement right now. So I'm going to

75
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 5: take you across the Atlantic for some of this episode

76
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 5: to the Reform Party conference, show you how Nigel Farage

77
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 5: is doing over They're going to bring you some interviews

78
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 5: from people I want you to hear from, take you

79
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 5: inside behind the scenes at the Kennedy Center. You know,

80
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 5: they don't really let that many people film in there,

81
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 5: but I have some fantastic footage for you over the

82
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 5: course of this show and some great, great interviews. So

83
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 5: I'll start off. I'm telling you why Boxing Day is

84
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 5: so important to me, and that's because the history of

85
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 5: Boxing Day. I'm sure some of you will have learned

86
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 5: it over the last couple of years of me doing this.

87
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 5: It goes back to the idea of putting things together,

88
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 5: boxing things together and giving them to charity, being charitable

89
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 5: at about your time about your efforts, especially after the

90
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 5: Christmas period, where so many people have a lot of

91
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 5: excesses to actually think about the others who don't have

92
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 5: so much, and Boxing Day stems from that tradition, and

93
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 5: I think it's something that we should all remember today.

94
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 5: The first thing in terms of when we think about

95
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 5: charitable traditions and when we think about giving back that

96
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 5: comes to my mind this year is precisely where I

97
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 5: was and what I was doing and who I was

98
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 5: around when I heard the news that Charlie Kirk had

99
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 5: been assassinated, and I was coming back from the Reform

100
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 5: Party conference in the United Kingdom. I was actually on

101
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 5: the plane when it happened, and thank goodness I had

102
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 5: pretty good Wi Fi, because I had to run the newsdesk,

103
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 5: jump into our live chat at the National polse dot

104
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 5: com and actually run the newsdesk and get our team

105
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 5: together so that we could actually do a very dignified

106
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 5: send off for my friend Charlie Kirk and I Before

107
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 5: coming out here and doing this episode, I started to

108
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 5: look back at some of the conversations that he and

109
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 5: I had had over text message in the final months,

110
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 5: and it started to hear to me that, you know,

111
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 5: what he really wanted more than anything else, more than

112
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 5: these fights that you see, more than this scrapping that

113
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 5: you see, more than his own philosophy and ideology, being

114
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 5: out there in front and center was actually giving back.

115
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 5: And so through this boxing day, I want to focus

116
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 5: a little bit more on that. I think it's very important.

117
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 5: I think a lot of the noise that we're hearing

118
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 5: at the moment it's a little undignified, and a lot

119
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 5: of you will have some problems with me saying that stuff.

120
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 5: I didn't go to America Fest in Phoenix for that

121
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 5: particular reason. I knew that the stage would be full

122
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 5: of people sort of tussling, and that's not what I

123
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 5: think that conference was ever about. I don't think that

124
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 5: was what Charlie was ever about. And so for me,

125
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 5: rather than get involved in all of that, I wanted

126
00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,039
Speaker 5: to bring you some of my thoughts and memories and

127
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 5: some of the things that I think can help not

128
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 5: make us fight, but move us forward. I think it's

129
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 5: so important that we not lose sight of the grander

130
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 5: issue at play here. There are demonic forces at work

131
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 5: here in the world. There are demonic forces at work

132
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 5: here behind me every single day, and Charlie would have

133
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 5: wanted us to work together not a part, not separately,

134
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 5: not hating on each other, not screaming at each other

135
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 5: to fix those things. Let me take you now to

136
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 5: where I went right after I landed back in the

137
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 5: United States from the Reform Party conference, and that was

138
00:07:48,200 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 5: inside Charlie Kirk's memorial. Well, good morning, world, it is

139
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 5: the morning of the Charlie Kirk Memorial down here in Phoenix, Arizona.

140
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 5: There's not a not a lightharshed occasion, not a joyous occasion. Obviously,

141
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 5: there's going to be tens of thousands, if not hundreds

142
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 5: of thousands of people in attendance. And it is currently

143
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 5: seven o'clock in the morning, already cutting it a bit fine.

144
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 5: I'm heading down there to the State Farm Marina.

145
00:09:35,360 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 6: Now, oh, I O.

146
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 8: Worthy.

147
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 9: And that taught them that our was not a great country,

148
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 9: but the greatest, most exceptional nation that has ever existed

149
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 9: in the history of all of that kind. And it's

150
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 9: worth fighting for, it's worth defending, it's worth preserving.

151
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 4: And it's not a plical war.

152
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 8: It's not even a cultural war.

153
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 9: It's a spiritual and we should turn every day, every moment,

154
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 9: every other Natchel.

155
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 5: Ladies, and Justin the vice President of the United States

156
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 5: of America.

157
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 4: Gdvan, thank you, thank you all so much.

158
00:12:33,000 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: No ex give warm welcome to missus Arab. He spoke

159
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: for the stage. The forty fifth and forty seventh President

160
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: of the United States Donald J.

161
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 8: Trump, hasn't character.

162
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 7: War room.

163
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 5: Use your host, Stephen Kman, Well, one of the things

164
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 5: that I've really enjoyed over the last year is putting

165
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 5: together a small YouTube channel that takes people around and

166
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 5: behind the scenes of the places I go to. And

167
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 5: I think the reason I really wanted to do that is,

168
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 5: you know, I've been one of the people who have

169
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 5: been involved with this populist nationalist movement for a long time,

170
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 5: and I think there are so many things here that

171
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 5: are exclusive, that try and keep people out, keep people away,

172
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 5: and I don't want people to feel like that. I

173
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 5: actually want people to feel like they're here, like they're involved.

174
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 5: And so even just walking around here around Capitol Hill

175
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 5: right now and filming it, you know, a little bit amateurishly,

176
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 5: I like to bring people to places like this. This

177
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 5: is the Library of common and isn't it stunning, especially

178
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 5: all decorated out for Christmas. And one of the things

179
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 5: I wanted to make mention on this show today was

180
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 5: that you can look behind the scenes and a lot

181
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 5: of stuff, some of it political, some of it not.

182
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 5: On my YouTube channel, it's at Raheem Cassam on YouTube.

183
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 5: And one of the first things I did when I

184
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 5: started this endeavor was take a tour around Washington, d C.

185
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 5: Under President Trump as he started cleaning it up. I

186
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 5: want you to have a little look at that. But

187
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 5: we're going to go up here. Stay a little quiet,

188
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 5: because it's more of a place of respect more than

189
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 5: anything else. But it's great that they've built this, so

190
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 5: I'll show you some of the inscriptions they have. So

191
00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 5: this is a memorial specifically to General Pershing, who's the

192
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 5: general of the Armies. Fantastic statue here. It's funny. So

193
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 5: I've got this great camera that I just got in

194
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 5: one hand and my cell phone in the other. It

195
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 5: occurred to me as I was walking down here that

196
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 5: there are a lot of parts of London that I

197
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 5: just would not feel comfortable doing that having my phone

198
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 5: in one hand, having this expensive camera in the other.

199
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 5: And you know, thanks to President Trump and the recent

200
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 5: cleanup of Washington, d C, it really does feel just

201
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 5: about fine to be out here doing this and for

202
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 5: all of the conniptions the DC residents had, the liberal

203
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 5: DC residents had, I don't think you can argue with this.

204
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 5: It's really really nice out here. I used to tell people,

205
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 5: never come to DC. Don't waste your time, don't waste

206
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 5: your money, don't waste your effort. Even though there are

207
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,239
Speaker 5: some great things to see, some great buildings, a lot

208
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 5: of history monuments, museums, so on and so forth, it

209
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 5: just all went so downhill so quickly. You know, right

210
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 5: after the BLM riot, and there was a time where

211
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 5: you just thought it wasn't really going to ever recover.

212
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 5: That was it. It was a city in decline. And interesting,

213
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 5: isn't it. How if you put your shoulder to the

214
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 5: wheel on something like President Trump and his team have,

215
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 5: you can actually resolve it pretty bloody quickly. Right right here,

216
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 5: you see the back of the Saint John's Church, if

217
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 5: you remember where President Trump held the Bible up right

218
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 5: there and right here we found suitcases full of projectiles.

219
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 5: All of this was blocked off at the time. Not

220
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 5: blocked off like this, but I mean huge ten foot

221
00:18:54,600 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 5: high barricades that have been pasted in Marxist stuff, BLM stuff,

222
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 5: and all that kind of thing. I mean it was.

223
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 5: It was really really ugly and horrible, a terrible time

224
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 5: in this city's history. And of course the White House

225
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 5: is through there. Speed up a little bit here, show you.

226
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 5: And from a performative sense, you know, they put the

227
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 5: BLM stuff up in the road here, the bricks, and

228
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 5: they spelled it out on the road on sixteenth Street

229
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 5: right here. It's now been taken down. And then they

230
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 5: used to also call this Koshogg Way after the the

231
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 5: journalist who was murdered and by the Saudis. I guess

232
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 5: it was a long time. For a long time, you

233
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 5: would not want to go to this park. You would

234
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 5: not want to walk through it. This is very very recent.

235
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 5: I wouldn't say this administration recent, but the last maybe

236
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 5: year or two that they've really tidied this up. I mean,

237
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 5: this was basically a homeless encampment at one point, and

238
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 5: it wasn't safe. Even as a bloke. You didn't necessarily

239
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 5: feel safe walking through here. But credit where it's due,

240
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 5: and Bowser does get Mayor Bowser does get some credit

241
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 5: here because she has cleaned up some of these areas,

242
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 5: the park over there down that side, as well outside

243
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 5: the Washington post building completely cleaned up completely. You know,

244
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 5: she kicked the homeless out of that park, tided it

245
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 5: all up, and in fairness to her, the Metro as well.

246
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 5: The DC Metro now is nothing like it used to be.

247
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 5: One day, I'll do a video down there for you

248
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 5: as well. Make sure you're subscribed to this channel, by

249
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 5: the way, because trying to get YouTube and Google to

250
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 5: help me build this help me reach more of you,

251
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 5: so I subscribe, that really helps the process. And of

252
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 5: course sharing the video, leaving the comment, all of those

253
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 5: things kind of kick the algorithm into gear. I'm not

254
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 5: being funny, really not trying to overstate the case here,

255
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 5: but I just can't believe how much cleaner and tidier

256
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 5: and favor it feels around here now. You know, slap

257
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 5: bang in the middle of downtown used to be really

258
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 5: quite gross. So one of the highlights I think of

259
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 5: the year was flying over to London and attending the

260
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 5: Reform Party conference in the United Kingdom. That's Nigel Farager's party,

261
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 5: populist right wing party that is topping and has topped

262
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 5: I think over one hundred and fifty polls in a row. Now.

263
00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 5: The next UK election isn't scheduled until nine. So there's

264
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 5: a long way to go, but there's also a long

265
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 5: way that they've already traveled. And I wanted to go

266
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 5: for myself and to show you all this year just

267
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 5: how far this party has come along and what its

268
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 5: chances really are of taking power at the next election.

269
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 5: Why is it so important for you, a predominantly American audience,

270
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 5: that I understand that the international audience of the warroom

271
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 5: is growing and growing. The American audience might be scratching

272
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 5: their heads and saying, well, why do I need to

273
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 5: watch a conference from Birmingham in England this year? Well,

274
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 5: I think the Vice President JD Vance said it correctly

275
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 5: when he said, look, there is a chance that in

276
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 5: the next couple of decades we are not going to

277
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 5: be able to rely on the United Kingdom as a partner.

278
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 5: It will be perhaps a majority Muslim nation in our lifetimes.

279
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 5: And I think when you bear things like that in mind,

280
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 5: it really really makes it all the more important that

281
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,640
Speaker 5: we pay attention to what's going on in the mother

282
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 5: country of the United Kingdom. So let's go and have

283
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 5: a look at what Nigel Farage put together at the

284
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 5: Reform Party conference. It was really really quite stunning. There's

285
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 5: a lot of people now that I don't recognize at

286
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 5: these things, people getting interviewed. These are counselors and influencers

287
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 5: and things like this that have been.

288
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 8: I guess in.

289
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 5: The ten years that I've been away, making their way

290
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 5: to their own fame in polcical scene. Here along walk

291
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 5: to the the main stage. You're going through to get

292
00:23:40,320 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 5: another anti rum here hopefully you should be there to.

293
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 8: We finally got in.

294
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 7: To govern.

295
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 10: The Conservative Party are in fact the deep dollars over

296
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 10: the Conservative Party are dead deserve we don't let me serve,

297
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 10: and they will not be forgiven. They will not be

298
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 10: forgiven for their betrayals over the course of the last

299
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 10: five years, mass highbrations, illegal in reduts, crossing the channel,

300
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 10: sky high.

301
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 5: Taxes and much else for election.

302
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 10: And we will take that seriously as we get ready

303
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 10: with a Meal candidate so that we can beat city can't.

304
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 5: So we're here at the Reform Party conference. Let's get

305
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 5: a live reaction to that speech from a totally impartial

306
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 5: character who appears to be eating while we tried to

307
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 5: speak to him. It's Andy Wigmore. Andy, what did you

308
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 5: think of that? Speed?

309
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 7: Well, that's exactly what people wanted to hear. It's not

310
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 7: just professionalized in the party. It's not preparing for government.

311
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 7: They have a plan and I think that's quite important.

312
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 7: Just all the reaction from the crowd when he Nigel

313
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 7: outlined what's going to happen over the next few years.

314
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 7: And I think it's incredible He's picked on subjects which

315
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 7: everyone is concerned about, the difference with it in Nigel

316
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 7: and any other politic coalportate figure. Nigel talks the language

317
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 7: that they think of that can actually articulate, and he's

318
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 7: absolutely nailed it. It's just an incredible, incredible, credible only

319
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 7: to watch that, I'm really pleased. Definitely something that is

320
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 7: going to next end this lot away with a spring

321
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 7: and their step.

322
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 5: Nigel. The most important questionity is where are you getting

323
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 5: a point?

324
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 6: Come on?

325
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 5: So on the way out of Nigel Faraja's speech, I

326
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 5: met Alex who is a viewer of the war Room

327
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 5: from here in the United Kingdom, from Wales in fact, Alex,

328
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 5: thank you for being here, your thoughts on the conference

329
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 5: so far and the leader's speech.

330
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, big fan of the war Room, so yeah, thanks,

331
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 11: veryam good to meet you. Speech was fantastic, very timely.

332
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 11: Niger brought it forward because of the announcement about Angela Rayner,

333
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 11: So I think that was very time that he came

334
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 11: on strike while the iron's hot, so to speak. But

335
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 11: myself and a good friend came to this conference last year.

336
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 11: I would say it's probably five six times as big

337
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 11: as it was last year. So I think that shows

338
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 11: the direction of travel. There's one kind of direction this

339
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 11: country's going in the Manattan.

340
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:02,360

358
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 5: of you who are watching, sorry listening to this, I

359
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 5: should say via podcast, you really will want to get

360
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 5: the visuals because I was in New York earlier this

361
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 5: year as well, and like I've done for the past

362
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 5: five years now, I ran the Tunnel to Towers five

363
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 5: K and that starts in Brooklyn and it goes under

364
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 5: the bridge into Manhattan and you emerge up at the

365
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 5: World Trade Center what was the World Trade Center now

366
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 5: the Freedom Tower. And every year they do that and

367
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 5: raise money for Originally it was the victims of nine

368
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 5: to eleven families, and now Tunnel to Towers as an

369
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 5: organization has expanded their remit and now they raise money

370
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 5: for military families, especially those of which have had limbs

371
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 5: blown off and require special kind sort of disability housing.

372
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 5: They've even built a veteran's village. And I can think

373
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 5: of no better thing to spend some time on every

374
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 5: year than running that race, bringing attention to it, helping.

375
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 12: Tunnel to Towers to charity. And this year I did

376
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 12: it right after Charlie Cook's assassination. I did it wearing

377
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 12: the Charlie Cook Freedom t shirt. So I wanted to

378
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 12: bring you some of my highlights from that day. I'm

379
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 12: not in the best shape that I've been in my life,

380
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 12: so even though it was just a five K. Some

381
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 12: of it was still a struggle. You'll have to forgive

382
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 12: me for that, but we still did it. We still

383
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 12: made it through and we raised over twenty thousand dollars

384
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 12: this year. I think that puts us at about one hundred

385
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 12: thousand dollars over the last several years raised. So thank

386
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 12: you to everybody who was a part of that. Thank

387
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 12: you to the Tunnel to Towers team, thank you to

388
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 12: Mayor Rudy Giuliani and a lot of people who were

389
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 12: involved in that charity very early on. And thank you

390
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 12: to everybody who supported and donated. And I think if you,

391
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 12: if you can, you should go to Tunnel to Tower's

392
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 12: website yourself and chip it.

393
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 5: And we've made it. Welcome back to Moynehan Train Hall

394
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 5: where I spend an ordinate amount of time for somebody

395
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 5: who doesn't live here. But very nice station recently rebuilt.

396
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 5: It's in the old what's this the old post office

397
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 5: or something? Beautiful skylight, wonderful lounge up there. Let's go

398
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 5: get a cab, pick up out a run packet for free.

399
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 5: Hey brother, going to the Conrad downtown. Please follow us,

400
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 5: hat Trump jacket, Tunnel to Tower's bag you know, you

401
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 5: can't really get all that much more patriotic than that,

402
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 5: can you. Well, good morning, it's morning of the run

403
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 5: here in Manhattan, and I have my and my Charlie

404
00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 5: Coke Freedom t shirt on. I definitely look and feel

405
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 5: a mess. And right now we head to the water

406
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 5: taxi to take us over to Brooklyn. I hope they're

407
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 5: still Available'm running a bit late actually, so we're loaded

408
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 5: onto the boat. Last year again it was extremely rainy

409
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 5: and cold, so I'm I'm delighted the sun is out.

410
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 5: Not a big boat person, not a big water person, honestly, but.

411
00:31:31,520 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 13: All right, sun's out. We'll live with it.

412
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 5: Okay, star Line's behind us. But because we're so bunched up,

413
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 5: you can't run yet. And if you are trying to

414
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 5: get a good time, it's all good.

415
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 4: Excuse me.

416
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 5: I'm going to try and work my way through here

417
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 5: and get a little jogging. Here we go, got some

418
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 5: open road and this is where we enter the Hugh

419
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 5: Elk Carry Tunnel. This is where Steven Ziller and so

420
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 5: many of the people who perish on nine to eleven

421
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 5: walk toward the fire, grabbed their gear, went back through

422
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 5: this tunnel. All the firemen with the gears on their

423
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 5: backs and tried to help people. And there are just

424
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 5: thousands of people that just tunnel. Now it's the hardest far.

425
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 5: It gets so hot and people we eat it now,

426
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 5: all right, selling tunnel coming up to the park. Now

427
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 5: where it stops being downhill into the tunnel starts being uphill.

428
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 4: Out of the tunnel.

429
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 5: You can imagine how much fun that is. We've got

430
00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 5: a little bit of a roadblock here as up people

431
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 5: slow down and going up hill in the tunnel. I'm

432
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 5: really starting to sweat last night's guinness off. Now it's

433
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 5: about this time in the run. I'm just over halfway

434
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 5: through the tunnel. He starts to feel a bit cocky.

435
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 5: You're like, ah, yeah, fine, no problem, until you realize

436
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 5: we've got another mile and a half on the other

437
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 5: side of the tunnel, sweating in here, humid growth. People

438
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 5: are starting to walk and give up. But your boy

439
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 5: doesn't know the meaning of give up. So to remind

440
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 5: you of that scene out of Independence Day. Okay, big

441
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 5: uphill coming, big uphill coming. All right, there's light at

442
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 5: the end of the tunnel and there's noisy boys behind me.

443
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 5: Once we get out of the tunnel, I'm going to

444
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 5: walk a lot a bit so I can show you

445
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 5: what you're looking at when you come out of the tunnel.

446
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 5: Also so I can walk a little bit. But it's

447
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 5: not easy. People think it's easy. There are people in

448
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,919
Speaker 5: far better shape than me who are struggling. It's the heat,

449
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 5: it's the closeness, it's a commidity, it's the uphill nature

450
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 5: of it. You can't just walk up here. They could

451
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 5: rock up and walk getting chased over here. All right,

452
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 5: we're out of the tunnel. And now when you come

453
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 5: out you have all of these policemen, fire fighters holding

454
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 5: banners of the people who gave their lives. And it's

455
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 5: always so moving, no matter how much you do it.

456
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 5: Younger men back of shaping me coming up this hill.

457
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 5: And then of course you've got spectators on the bridge,

458
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 5: the World Trade Center in the distance, and everyone's stripping

459
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 5: off now because there's a breeze outside. But it's still hot.

460
00:36:54,120 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 5: It's still in the eighties. A little bit of shade

461
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 5: under the bridge here, some water stations if you fancy it,

462
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 5: some bagpipers, and just more and more these moving portraits.

463
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 5: They say to you when you get to this part,

464
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 5: they would say, go on you're you're almost there, You're

465
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,919
Speaker 5: not really almost there. It's probably another mile to go.

466
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 4: Now.

467
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 5: The pipers have just started playing, so you've got to

468
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 5: start weaving in between people here. And now you come

469
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 5: up at the World Trade Center Freedom Tower.

470
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 14: To match my shirt with Charlie's shirt.

471
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're back at Brookfield Plays where we were yesterday.

472
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 5: Wasn't the run route yesterday. It was a children screaming

473
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 5: at me roote yesterday. And here we've hit a bottleneck

474
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 5: so we have to slash, get to walk again. Just

475
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 5: so many people doing this now and back in I've

476
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 5: when they started in two thousand and two, there was

477
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 5: a oh, I don't know, fifteen hundred people I think

478
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 5: we were doing it, and now there's about thirty thousand plus,

479
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 5: so you can appreciate how the narrow streets of Manhattan

480
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 5: struggle to deal with it. And we're off again. It's

481
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 5: about fifteen hundred feet. Took the finish line here, so

482
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 5: stick with me. We'll get there together. We're pushing, we're

483
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 5: pushing the very long stretch. I'm not wearing a time

484
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 5: chip this year because I knew I wouldn't get a

485
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 5: good time. I didn't want to put that they're all public.

486
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 5: I didn't want people to see that. Probably timed at

487
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 5: about forty forty five minutes this year where it was previously.

488
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 5: Last year I did thirty. My idea is to get

489
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 5: under thirty. I've also never done it without headphones, and

490
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 5: I've never done it well talking the whole way. So

491
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 5: you know you've heard all my excuses today. That's where

492
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,439
Speaker 5: we are. Oh, I can smell the cheeseburgers, all right.

493
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 5: That means that means we speed up, speeding up towards

494
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 5: the cheeseburgers.

495
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 6: Come.

496
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 5: We mined it.

497
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 11: We have.

498
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 5: Almost there. We turned this corner. Here, we'll see the

499
00:39:54,239 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 5: finish line. Stay with me. I could subscribing comment if

500
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 5: I have to go through this, So do you at

501
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 5: least at least you have to run it. Here we

502
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 5: go henis f.

503
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:32,840
Speaker 15: Yeah, we're done another year in the book.

504
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 8: What the game? You want to bring it on?

505
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:37,919
Speaker 5: Enough?

506
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 2: Fright to the undisponsciency.

507
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 8: It's all started.

508
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 5: Everything's biger if you are the whole.

509
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 2: Because we're taking down the ccs for the world on

510
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 2: the hot com. We will fight to the rock cod

511
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: we rejoice with a little more. Let's stick down the croom.

512
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 8: Here's your host, Stephen K.

513
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 5: Ban all right, So, one of the really important things

514
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 5: I think we need to know about is these massive

515
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 5: changes in media. We do this every year for the

516
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 5: Boxing Day Special, assess exactly what is going on in

517
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 5: media world and what is about to change. We know

518
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 5: that a lot of people have put their shoulder to

519
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 5: the wheel in the last decade plus. I mean, I

520
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 5: remember back when Stephen K. Bannon flew to London and

521
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 5: hired me to run the bright Bart London Bureau, and honestly,

522
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 5: I mean on the back of what happened with Brexit

523
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 5: and all of that. Nigel Farage, the Brexit leader, said

524
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 5: at the time, you know, without a bright Bart London operation,

525
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 5: they may will have been no Brexit at all because

526
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 5: of the different line that we took against all of

527
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 5: the long standing media institutions, and the long standing media

528
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 5: institutions in the United States, despite becoming less and less

529
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 5: pop are still running the roost in terms of dominating

530
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 5: at least broadcast networks and how they behave on local

531
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,719
Speaker 5: levels too. One of the people I wanted to bring

532
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 5: into the conversation here for this special today is Daniel Sir,

533
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 5: the president of the Center of American rights who has

534
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 5: been involved in a battle against big tech and the

535
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 5: big corporates in media for a while now. Daniel, thank

536
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 5: you so much for joining us here on the warroom.

537
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, thanks for having Adrian Daniel.

538
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 5: There is this big thing being discussed, but perhaps not

539
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 5: out there in the country as much as it should be,

540
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 5: but certainly in Washington, d C. Certainly in New York,

541
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 5: and certainly in the offices of those big Hollywood and

542
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 5: tech firms. And that is how much you get to

543
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 5: have in terms of broadcasting ability, what percentage of the public.

544
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 4: You are able to reach.

545
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 5: And I think it's a fascinating conversation to have because again,

546
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 5: for so long these have had it all their way,

547
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 5: and now the market is drastically changing, of course, with

548
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 5: things like YouTube and YouTube TV. So very briefly, I

549
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 5: know it's one of those policy issues I think probably

550
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 5: quite easily make somebody's eyes glaze over, But just very briefly,

551
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 5: would you would you expand on that, let us know

552
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 5: what exactly is happening and what you think the Trump

553
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 5: administration needs to do going into twenty twenty six to

554
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 5: level the playing field.

555
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Rahiem and really it is an important issue

556
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 3: for every American. So many of us rely on local

557
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 3: television for things that we care about, local news, local sports,

558
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 3: even if maybe we use a streaming service for our news,

559
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 3: our national news like this, the reality is that more

560
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 3: Americans tune in to the evening news at like five

561
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 3: or six o'clock on their local TV news than any

562
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 3: watch a big cable show like The Five for instance.

563
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 3: And so really, how Americans learn about what's happening in

564
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,280
Speaker 3: their communities, it starts with local news.

565
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 11: You know.

566
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 3: One of the interesting things there's been polling out there,

567
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,919
Speaker 3: and it consistently says two things. It says Americans don't

568
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 3: trust the national legacy media for good reason. Right, they've

569
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 3: been burned by the Hunter Biden laptop, by COVID nineteen,

570
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 3: They've all these things, they've been burned, and so they

571
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:22,200
Speaker 3: don't trust the national media. But they still trust, especially

572
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 3: local television news. And so it's important that our policy

573
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 3: makers kind of encourage local TV. And the reality, as

574
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 3: you point out, is that local TV is subject to

575
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 3: these anequated regulations that have been around for decades, and

576
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 3: our media marketplace doesn't look the same as it did

577
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 3: decades ago. Decades ago, there was no Google, there was

578
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 3: no YouTube TV, there were no these Silicon Valley giants

579
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,439
Speaker 3: who were dominating the media landscape. And so it's really

580
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:53,919
Speaker 3: important for the Federal Communications Commission, the regulatory authority over

581
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 3: these issues, to look at these rules and I think

582
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 3: provide greater free markets for local broadcasts to grow and

583
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 3: survive in the coming years.

584
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, so all makes sense. I mean all checks out,

585
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 5: no fake news there. But what is the current policy, Like,

586
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 5: what is this thirty nine percent cap that I keep

587
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:19,359
Speaker 5: hearing of? And who really serves to benefit from what

588
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 5: you call these antiquated rules.

589
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll tell you who benefits. It's Silicon Valley and

590
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 3: the national networks. Right, it's the people, frankly who don't

591
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 3: share our values as conservatives. It's the people who aren't

592
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 3: fans of President Trump. They're the ones who are benefiting

593
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 3: from the current rules because it's essentially handicapping the competition. Right,

594
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 3: it's the government coming in and putting a huge thumb

595
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 3: on the scale in favor of streamers and in favor

596
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 3: of Silicon Valley, and in favor of the national networks

597
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 3: like ABC and NBC. President Trump has said over and

598
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 3: over again that we need to push back on the

599
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 3: power of the national networks. One way to do that

600
00:45:56,719 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 3: is for the Federal Communications Commission the FCC to repeal

601
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 3: these rules that have been around for decades that are

602
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,280
Speaker 3: hampering local broadcasters so they can be a more effective

603
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 3: counterbalance to these national networks into Silicon Valley.

604
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 5: So the question I always get asked to throw at

605
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 5: your way is, what do you mean we're in charge,

606
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 5: we should be able to do whatever we want. Why

607
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 5: hasn't this been fixed already? And Daniel, this is this

608
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 5: is an activist audience. These are not people who sort

609
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 5: of just sit and listen to this stuff and go oh, okay,

610
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:32,439
Speaker 5: really interesting and then kick their feet up. They will

611
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 5: want to know what they can do, where they can go,

612
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:38,759
Speaker 5: how they can take action to stop this, I imagine. And

613
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 5: I think firstly they want to learn more. They want

614
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 5: These not the kind of audience that will just take

615
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 5: mine in your word for it. So where can they

616
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 5: go and learn more about this issue? And then I'm

617
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 5: going to ask you a little difficult question. You know,

618
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,399
Speaker 5: there are people on the presumptively on the political right

619
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 5: in the media world who appear to be in favor

620
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 5: of the way these things have been for so long,

621
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 5: So how do we address that? And then where can

622
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 5: people go to learn more and take some action.

623
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 8: Yeah.

624
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 3: Absolutely, So you're right there are isolated voices that are

625
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 3: conservatives who have come down on this differently.

626
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 4: Than I have.

627
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 3: I would say the vast majority of conservatives. There's a

628
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 3: coalition letter of eighteen major conservative groups like the Heritage

629
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 3: Foundation and Center for Renewing America who have come out

630
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 3: in favor of reforming this. But you're right there are

631
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 3: isolated voices who disagree with that consensus. Frankly, I think

632
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 3: it's often a matter of business interest that empowering local

633
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,479
Speaker 3: broadcasters creates more competitions for the networks, but it also

634
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 3: creates more competition for cable. And so if there are

635
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 3: folks who are heavily invested in the cable industry, you know,

636
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 3: maybe this isn't good for them in that they like

637
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 3: having rules, having government regulations that hamper the competition, right,

638
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 3: And really the point here is that we want to

639
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 3: open up a free market. We want to open up

640
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 3: greater room for capitalism, frankly, to stop these government interventions

641
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 3: in the market and instead allow broadcasters to grow in

642
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 3: a natural way in line with what capitalism dictates. That's

643
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 3: all we're asking for. And so if you agree with that,

644
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 3: if your viewers agree with that, I encourage them to

645
