STEVE BANNON (HOST): You see right there, he's in the breach and they're coming, and they're coming after Pete Hegseth. So, not today, maybe the days you get Bill Blaster, you get some of the tools that Grace and the rest of the team have made available to you.
We're not gonna go to the ramparts today. We're gonna think this through to have Pete's back, but Pete Hegseth's in the middle of the fight and you've seen the leaks are going on in the deep state.
He's only beginning — the beginning process of the reorganization. Look, you know, I'm as big a hawk as you got. The Defense Department's budget's got to be cut. You have to show a signal that this thing's not gonna be — and with the hemispheric defense, the new strategic concept that President Trump has from Panama to Greenland, the Pacific and the three island chain, and is also talking about, I don't know, an Iron Dome or some sort of aspect of an anti-ballistic missile.
You hermetically seal the United States all the way from the Arctic, the new great game of the 21st century, the great power struggle in the Arctic. It sounds like your focus is less on the Eurasian landmass and — as it should be. And back here, not isolationist, but putting America first and America's citizens first and America's national security first.
