STEVE BANNON (HOST): You get diverted so easily. They want you to do that. What do you think this stuff is happening? Fox News today calls the Donald, for the win, a cybercriminal guys because you posted data in Wisconsin. Guess what? That's just more evidence. More evidence that's coming out. They're trying to divert your attention by the shiny pony. Do not go to the noise. Stay on the signal. This is one of the most important times, until now to December 14th in American history. 

...

If you are immovable we will close on this victory. But the way to be immoveable is focus on what's important and stop with the inter-squad scrimmage stuff. 

...

Will you get focused and stop focusing on the little, like, you're in junior high school gossip? "Oh did you see Tucker last night? Did you see what Tucker did? It was so terrible." Stop it! I'm tired of it. We’re in a fight right now. We don't have time or energy to get diverted. 

...

Everybody, oh, Why are you talking about Matt Gaetz, why aren't you talking about this and that and that. Grow up. Hold the line. Holding the line isn't a [INAUDIBLE]. "Did you hear what happened in third period today? Did you hear what they said? Did you hear what Sally said about you? She passed a note." Grow up. We are in a war right now.
