RAHEEM KASSAM (CO-HOST): Watch in Washington D.C. over the next 48 hours for the violence that will be aimed at Trump supporters, for the violence that will be aimed at peaceful protesters out there on Freedom Plaza, for the violence that is already being done to protesters coming into town by the mayor and her policing, right? Let's be very clear, there's Chinese Communist Party tactics in Washington D.C. now. 

STEVE BANNON (HOST): What do you mean by that?

KASSAM: Listen, I don't know the Proud Boys, I don't -- there's no endorsement, I don't know, right? But here's what I do know is that their leader is arrested when coming into Washington D.C. for desecrating a BLM flag three months ago?

BANNON: Look, I don't know those guys really but I gotta tell you we put calls out last night to try to put bail up for the guy. It's just not acceptable. 

KASSAM: It's outrageous. 

BANNON: The guy comes in town to protest, I mean come on.
