Bannon is flatly predicting this "national emergency," here's the quote:
“Take your No 2 pencil out,” ... “It’s coming. It’s coming. Just block the last week of August out. It’s coming.”
Note that a last week of August date for this gives us time to counter, but could mean the DC protest takes place under near martial law conditions. DC is already under National Guard occupation though the troops themselves seem to have been deliberately minimizing the impact of it so far.
