STEVE BANNON (HOST): I talked to Madeline about the Insurrection Act and what President Trump's doing in cities like Portland, and cities like Chicago, and what will happen in Memphis and Los Angeles. And she writes, they don't think they're actually part of the United States, because they're not part of the United States right now.
They're sanctuary cities run by these - overseen by these radical governors, Pritzker and Newsom, and radical mayors.
And that's why President Trump is, for the sake of the country, in defense of the country, and for the mass deportations, having to do this. Nobody else would do that.
