BEN BERGQUAM (CO-HOST): I don't know if - can I bring on our Navy friend cause she was there January 6th and she's also got a background in law enforcement as well so.
STEVE BANNON (HOST): Yeah go ahead. Let's hear from Freedom.
FREEDOM (GUEST): Yes, yeah, so I was there on January 6th. It was not what it was portrayed to be by the left. I actually was raided by the FBI on January - for January 6th last August. 18 months after January 6th. They came into my house, 6AM, took a bunch of stuff and, you know, gave me nothing and here I am. I still have nothing and I don't know what's going on but January 6th was not what the mainstream media portrayed it to be.
BERGQUAM: Now they tried to silence you but you're out here again. What's your message to the American people?
FREEDOM: Come out. Quit cowering in your houses. Stand up for yourself. Stand up for this country. If you don't, we're not going to have a country. And all you veterans out there, all you veterans, come out. You took an oath to support and defend the Constitution. You better do it because if not our country is going to die. They're going to kill it. That's my message, come out.
BERGQUAM: Thank you, Freedom.
FREEDOM: Absolutely.
BANNON: If I may ask - Ben, hang on. Just keep Freedom there for a second. Ask her what is the sense of the other folks that have gathered in Miami today. What's her sense of people's attitudes?
FREEDOM: On our side? On the MAGA side? They're pissed off.
BANNON: On the MAGA side.
FREEDOM: They are pissed off. Yes. Pissed off. They are. They think that this is nothing but trying to get Trump to, you know, either quit - they think oh if he quits then it will be done. Trump will never quit. He will never quit. Why would he quit? I mean, he loves America and all of these people here with me love America and we don't want to see what's going on right now. This is - I never thought that this would happen in my lifetime but it is and so now it's time to take our country back, get rid of all those RINOs that are in the Senate and the House. I think that we should dismantle and defund everything. The DOJ, FBI, all of them and start fresh with real MAGA people. That's what I feel.
