they were laughing at me when i was saying hey this guy trump is going to be this is going to be very serious. so good to see that you are in the heat of combat now. i remember and looked you said boy those are big crowds. bannon transformed into a facilitator, helping to find the candidate s positions. after the paris attacks, for example, trump said he d consider closing mosques. we re going to have to choice. when hellos erupted bannon came up with a more explosive you are not prepared to allow an enemy within, a right. that s not going to happen. and bannon kept at it. praising the candidate s knowledge of world affairs, trade, terrorism. there is no doubt in your mind that if these had the access to chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons they would use them against the civilian
