00:00:00.000So, today, that faction, the MAGA faction, the anti-democracy faction, the far-right, won, and they celebrated.
00:00:08.880The chief architect of this battle, Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida, took a victory lap on Steve Bannon's program.
00:00:14.560MAGA is ascendant, and if you don't think that moving from Kevin McCarthy to MAGA Mike Johnson shows the ascendance of this movement
00:00:22.740and where the power in the Republican Party truly lies, then you're not paying attention.
00:00:28.300Now, Gaetz is talking his book, as always, and he'll probably do 19 more podcast hits before I come back and talk to you tomorrow night.
00:00:36.440He and his coalition are proud of what they've achieved.
00:00:39.880The majority of their caucus, including their new speaker, tried to overturn the last election, and they're proud of that.
00:00:45.860In fact, the message they're sending in choosing Mike Johnson, and this is important for everyone to understand, because that's where we are,
00:00:51.840is not only they're proud of that, but they are unbowed, and they are ready, and they are willing to try again.
00:01:39.580Well, he has strong relationships from our most moderate members to our most conservative members, and you know what?
00:01:44.740Everyone feels listened to with Mike Johnson. He has a great tone, a great leadership skill stack, and I'm going to do everything I can to make him successful.
00:01:52.840Congressman, new speaker Mike Johnson, your thoughts.
00:01:57.620Well, you cannot get to the right of Mike Johnson in the mega caucus.
00:02:03.340It's just – it's inconceivable that you could get to the right of him.
00:02:08.300I mean, there are people who are definitely more lunatic than he is, and he's got very good manners, and he's an able lawyer.
00:02:16.860But when we say he opposed democracy, we know that from his giving a legal gloss and finish to all of Donald Trump's arguments about electoral fraud and making the independent state legislature doctrine argument, which the Supreme Court fortunately did not bite on.
00:02:36.700But if he's not for democracy, what's he for? He's for theocracy.
00:02:41.800He wants a nationwide ban on abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest.
00:02:49.400He voted against affirming women's right to travel across state lines for the purposes of obtaining health care.
00:02:57.640He's also voted against reaffirming women's contraceptive rights.
00:03:02.080He is a real enemy of Social Security.
00:03:06.960From my perspective, he wanted to increase the age of Social Security retirement to 70 years old.
00:03:14.660He's very much in the Steve Bannon mode of trying to dismantle the regulatory state, by which they mean democracy itself.
00:03:23.920And so he's a decent guy, and he's a nice guy, but nobody should be fooled by it.
00:03:30.880Donald Trump cemented his hold over the Republican Party today, and he is in control of the House of Representatives right now.
00:03:41.400Did Matt Gaetz and the rebels win because you got the speaker you wanted, and now you don't have to vacate or play those strategies anymore?
00:03:48.380Or are Matt Gaetz and the so-called rebels still out here, and Johnson should be just as worried over his shoulder as McCarthy?
00:04:53.060But, Donnie, it is, is it not, the victory of MACA in this case of Donald Trump squashed Emmer, right?
00:05:00.080He wasn't quite loyal enough to Donald Trump, and some people got to Trump and said, hey, here's all this stuff that Emmer said Trump puts out the post.
00:05:23.000As my good friend Joe Scarborough would say, insurrectionists, weirdos, and freaks.
00:05:26.340Well, here you've got to post a boy right up there.
00:05:28.120But here's the key, Brendan, and we talked about this last time.
00:05:31.820They have successfully, in their own conference, imposed minority will on the conference.
00:05:36.860They have a vanguardist vision of how to do this.
00:05:40.160They tried to impose a minority president on the United States.
00:05:43.640They then had a rump faction of eight votes that broke the conference, and when Steve Scalise won the internal vote, they said, no, we don't accept it.
00:05:50.640They have gotten their way as a minoritarian vanguardist movement at many steps.
00:05:56.020They think they could do it for the whole government.
00:07:46.040It's Thursday, 26 October, year of our Lord, 2023.
00:07:49.500And we have a new Speaker of the House, a new MAGA ascendant, President Trump victorious.
00:07:56.080We're going to get into all that today.
00:07:58.100We're going to have two of the key players, Congressman Nancy Mace, and we're going to try to get Eli Crane if votes don't start over in the House.
00:08:05.260So we've got two of the major players in this will join us.
00:08:08.680If we don't get Eli this morning, we will get him this afternoon.
00:08:11.860We had to birch it on and engage yesterday.
00:08:14.400We're going to try to take these folks a couple at a time over the next couple of days to lay out where do we go from here.
00:08:20.340As I keep telling you, if you really want to understand where our movement is, if you really want to understand the dynamics that underlies our fight with the opposition, this is why we play these cold opens from MSNBC.
00:08:34.520Because MSNBC has gone and gotten the Brendan Bucks, who was the right-hand man of Paul Ryan, Tim Miller, who used to be the comms director for the RNC.
00:08:45.940I worked with Tim when I was running Breitbart for many, many years before he went to the dark side.
00:08:50.380People like Charlie Sykes, Nicole Wallace, these are very people that are at the heart of the Republican establishment and absolutely understand very deeply the MAGA insurrection that's taken over the Republican Party.
00:09:59.820You know, everybody has heard, because he's kind of – although he was deputy to Elise Stefanik, he really was kind of a backbencher.
00:10:07.300But people know him as someone who will listen, not just a good man, a devout Christian, but he's clearly – and they're waking up to the fact that he is pretty conservative.
00:10:27.480So I had the pleasure of working for two years at the Republican Study Committee when Mike Johnson was the chair of it in the 116th Congress.
00:11:47.620We know social conservatism and all that and a lot of, you know, things about messaging bills.
00:11:52.360But the nation faces three immediate crises.
00:11:56.420And we have, look, we have a social crisis also.
00:12:02.080But we have, obviously, this crushing debt and the deficits.
00:12:05.900We have the invasion of the southern border, everything that brings.
00:12:10.160And we now have this geopolitical, the beginning of the Third World War, which we've argued for you on the show,
00:12:15.220the Chinese Communist Party through unrestricted warfare has been at war with us for at least a couple of years.
00:12:21.600What do you see his worldview and his perspective when you talk about those three major items?
00:12:28.080I think he sees, frankly, a lot of the vision that Reagan cast, right, which is the understanding is in many ways that it's not three crises or a dozen,
00:12:38.160It's one central crisis, right, which is we have an elite group that runs the government at the expense of everyone else in this country, right?
00:12:46.280All those things you're talking about, right, the southern border being absolute chaos, the government running massive deficits,
00:12:52.540which really means that the government is stealing wholesale the fruits of your labors, giving you worthless IOUs and strangling the private sector, strangling our future growth.
00:13:02.340All of these things come back to an elite group that runs the government at the expense of your rights,
00:13:07.680at the expense of any faith in what the American people would do if you give them their freedoms and if you respect their God-given rights.
00:13:14.340So I think Mike Johnson's worldview is that we need that to restore faith, to give back to a government that respects those God-given rights,
00:13:22.180that respects those foundational principles that allowed not the U.S. government but the American people to create the largest, best, wealthiest,
00:13:30.580most technologically advanced and most moral country that has ever existed in human history.
00:13:39.640We're going to play a little bit of that speech when we come back, and we're going to get into some of the nitty-gritty today and back of some of the numbers, GDP numbers were released.
00:13:48.000Also, Kim.com, who you know has a massive following over on Twitter, put out today about the $600 billion of new debt in the next 30 days.
00:14:01.140He says it doesn't matter who the next president is because the country is basically being crushed underneath a mountain of debt.
00:14:07.340So we're going to get into all of that when we return with Richard Stern from Heritage and talk about the upcoming CR, the omnibus, the fight to get control from the elites.
00:14:17.700Mike Johnson, a fireman's son, a very devout Christian, a Baptist, a man of deep and abiding faith, is now the Speaker of the House.
00:14:26.140That in and of itself is a massive victory.
00:14:29.680Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break.
00:14:31.100I want to thank the folks over at birchgold.com.
00:14:32.960Make sure you go there today and get The End of the Dollar Empire.
00:14:36.960I've been working on this for a couple of years.
00:14:38.500It's a four-part series, all free to you.
00:18:27.560It's really the spirit of the Tea Party movement that has brought this into manifest reality.
00:18:32.600And I think at the end of the day, right, what conservatism is about is that kind of faith.
00:18:37.180It is a firm faith that God built justice into the world around us, and that what you need is to allow people to be closer to God, to work towards God's divine justice.
00:18:52.100They offer a vision of reality that is cold, that is dark.
00:18:55.900And so, of course, what they want you to do is beg them, just another group of humans, but somehow they believe that they are, you know, have magical, divine kind of foresight.
00:19:06.660They want you to beg them to come in and run your life for them.
00:19:10.180But this here is a representation of America getting back to our values, saying, no, we will not be led around by some panel of so-called experts.
00:19:18.000It will be led by God and by what we know is true about the world around us.
00:19:24.480Just like Mike Johnson, they're about to unload on him like they've never unloaded on anybody since I think President Trump came on the scene.
00:19:48.000Richard, today, because they're skipping around over the White House, the GDP number, which I think is kind of shocking when you break down the component pieces of it and tie that back to the debt that every month is now absolutely shocked.
00:20:04.120You know, he's a very powerful influencer on social media and particularly Twitter, massive following, that including Elon Musk and the guys around Elon Musk.
00:20:13.740He just put a very simple tweet last night, $600 billion in debt in one month, essentially game over, doesn't care who the next president is.
00:20:22.480We would disagree with Kim.com on his pessimism, at least on how do we turn this around.
00:20:29.780But, Richard, walk me through – I want you to walk through the GDP number today and how that ties back still to the massive government spending.
00:20:39.280Yeah, so that GDP number is a clarion call.
00:20:42.040And really what that is, it's a lot of fancy econ speak.
00:20:46.140The government is eating your lunch because they've got the legal authority to do so, and they are beating the private sector to a pulp to do it.
00:20:53.480That's really what those GDP numbers come down to.
00:20:55.900You know, GDP is not holistically a capture of what we produce.
00:21:00.220It's a capture of where what we as a society produce goes.
00:21:04.980GDP records who uses the stuff that the American people produce.
00:21:08.980So when government spends money in GDP, it's not that the government is contributing to economic growth.
00:21:14.600It's that the government is eating that portion of real goods and services produced by real hardworking Americans.
00:21:27.440What we need to do is stop this, stop the growth of government.
00:21:30.840We need to enact pro-growth policies, good solid tax reform, dismantle the regulatory state.
00:21:36.740And that's the way we can get back to that.
00:21:38.740So that at the moment, how much debt the government's got into, how much larger government spending is on the private sector, that's a snapshot of horrors to come.
00:21:54.400The – if the GDP – if real true economic growth – if we had real true economic growth, real growth, not this thing that is driven by the crowding out effect of government spending.
00:22:08.560If we had real true growth, it would show up in tax revenues.
00:22:12.960The lie is that – and we just saw the accounts of which they took an extra three weeks or two and a half weeks to gun deck how it came out because they didn't want to show a $2 trillion deficit.
00:22:25.000But even the Washington Post agrees it's over a $2 trillion deficit.
00:22:28.640And, Richard, the principal reason was a $600 billion miss in projected tax revenue.
00:22:35.360And that came from both capital gains and personal because why?
00:22:39.300The economy is not – the economy is not growing.
00:22:55.040And so the government is screaming into the wind, but the real actual economy is struggling because of the government's burdens, because of the elite's haircut, which is now much more than a haircut, off the top of what we all produce.
00:23:07.700But, you know, I'll tell you this and for your audience as well.
00:23:10.420You and I and the people that we all like, we've all been Sam Adams lighting the torch of the revolution, leading the way on this, calling this.
00:23:17.560But, you know, Mike Johnson, Donald Trump, these are the John Adams, right?
00:23:20.800These are the people that can come in, that finally represent this revolution, coming to a head in a way where we can change the laws, where we can get back to the foundation of values that this country was founded on.
00:23:31.360And, you know, if we get back there, right, then we return to people the fruits of their labors.
00:23:36.220We'll get back to the kind of economy we had in the 50s during World War II when the U.S. was the world's light in terms of progress and technology and prosperity.
00:24:06.040And, you know, Trump may have some bad tweets and Trump might be a little rough around the edges.
00:24:09.980And maybe I don't like his personal style, but I got to get that guy back as president because what this current thing is not working when wars all over the place, the economies and tatters.
00:24:18.800Just give me a minute or two because, you know, we've had you and Russ on during the huge debt ceiling fight.
00:24:30.920If they had listened to Russ vote and they had listened to Richard Stern and they had implemented the programs of these two individuals in the heritage and these think tanks that have thought this thing through.
00:24:41.620Kevin McCarthy be speaker of the house today.
00:24:43.520He brought this on himself by the worst possible deal you could do.
00:24:47.400What would be your advice to Mike and people now to start to think through how the first couple of action steps you would like to see to start to get our hands around this?
00:24:59.020And frankly, as I know that Speaker Johnson is going to do to follow his convictions, to follow the promises he's made.
00:25:04.960You know, as I said, to count the top of the show here, I had the honor of being the budget staffer at the Republican Study Committee when he was chair.
00:25:10.880I helped do the budgets that RSC puts out.
00:25:13.440These are pie in the sky, often called alternative federal budgets.
00:25:17.080But he did the two of those while I was there.
00:25:19.800And that's exactly what those laid out was a blueprint of how to get to a balanced budget, of how to get the real growth we know we can have.
00:25:27.160And so I'd encourage him to stick to those convictions.
00:25:29.400You know, I think all the stories that we think about in human history, an enormous amount of stories are in the Bible, of course, are about leaders who do the right thing, who stick to their convictions, even when everyone else turns on them.
00:25:40.460Even when it looks like that's not going to work out, because at the end of the day, that's what people look for in leadership is conviction, is purpose, is a vision.
00:25:50.020You know, frankly, if you listen to Democrats, if you look at their electoral successes, a lot of times they put out policy proposals that there's not even an I or a T to doubt or cross.
00:25:59.500It's because people actually have faith in them, because what they offer is something in the form of conviction.
00:26:04.820Now, you and I can look at it and say it might very well be satanic conviction, but it's conviction, at least.
00:26:10.320So for so many years, Republicans have offered no conviction.
00:26:14.800Mike Johnson, Donald Trump, people like us, this is a return to a conservative movement that offers real, reliable conviction.
00:26:36.520You can find me at Rich A. Stern on Twitter.
00:26:38.640And, of course, if you Google Richard Stern at Heritage, you'll find my bio page at Heritage, all the things I've written.
00:26:43.580And, of course, you can go look around at the budget tab there and find all the good work by my other colleagues, you know, the work in the Herman Center and around the building on the econ team here.
00:26:51.420By the way, tell Dr. Kevin Roberts thanks.
00:26:56.760The turnaround over there has been enormous.
00:26:58.660The policy you guys are hitting on all cylinders right now.
00:27:01.100So thanks for the whole team over there for what you guys are doing.
00:27:20.120To show you that there is light, Congressman Marshall, Roger Marshall, I think Congressman Marshall, I've had him on the show a couple of times.
00:27:28.420Congressman Marshall from Kansas with, obviously, the great J.D. Vance, Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, have put forward a proposal against Mitch McConnell's been selling hard.
00:27:38.220This Ukraine, you know, you've got to go all in.
00:28:39.100You should choose an air purifier like your life depends on it, because it just might.
00:28:51.160More than 35,000 wildfires have devastated the U.S. this year.
00:28:55.880The toxins and particles in wildfire smoke can penetrate our lungs and threaten our health.
00:29:01.640That's why EnviroCleanse developed military-grade air purification for your home.
00:29:07.360And they just announced their biggest sale of the year.
00:29:10.000Save a massive 30% off during their Labor Day sale.
00:29:13.720EnviroCleanse is specifically designed to wipe out airborne chemicals and viruses known to cause illness, allergies, and difficulty breathing.
00:29:22.840Even toxic gases and particles found in wildfire smoke are no match for EnviroCleanse.
00:29:28.160That's why the Department of Defense chose EnviroCleanse to protect the air on board our Navy combatants.
00:29:35.640And EnviroCleanse comes with a free professional air quality monitor, so you know your family's breathing purified air.
00:29:41.880Now's the time to save 30% off your air purification unit.
00:29:46.560Get the free air quality monitor and fast, free shipping.
00:30:20.900There's a lot, as you can imagine, going on Capitol Hill right now with this peon and earthquake, like a thermonuclear weapon that went off.
00:30:29.620Um, and I want to thank this audience.
00:30:32.240It's obviously, you're the key component of it or one of the key components of it.
00:30:36.300Uh, but we don't have time to, first of all, you know, we don't celebrate a lot around here.
00:30:42.020Um, because we've got more work to do.
00:30:44.580There's always another thing to, uh, to think of, uh, to make sure you get right.
00:30:49.800Uh, so we got to get right back to work.
00:30:52.080I would argue for the, for the, uh, for the audience to keep Mike Johnson in your prayers, particularly over the next couple of days.
00:31:00.060Cause there's, there is a, going to be an onslaught like you have not seen to take apart a good man.
00:31:06.000You just watch the mainstream media is just, they're coming and they're coming hard.
00:31:09.540Congressman Nancy Mason now joins us from South Carolina.
00:31:12.180One of the key people, one of the hard eight in this.
00:31:14.660Congressman Mace, can you just walk us through how this all developed over the last couple of days?
00:31:18.740I want to talk about the agenda going forward, but just tell us how do we get in this position to have a true conservative, uh, a deeply Christian man as, uh, as speaker of the house.
00:31:46.780Well, this almost, I just want to be clear.
00:31:48.740And I think Matt Gates clarified this yesterday.
00:31:50.440This almost didn't happen because the disgraced former speaker, Kevin McCarthy, every time someone ascended, he would knife them in the back and they, and they couldn't be in the back.
00:32:12.040He's not a part of one of K Street's favorites, right?
00:32:15.880And he's going to come under fire over the next few days and appreciate your wishes and well wishes and prayers for him because he's going to need it.
00:32:23.700We're changing the direction and the trajectory of Washington.
00:32:29.100This point, up until this point, has been very difficult the last three weeks.
00:32:32.520But the eight of us and others held the line and we got us to where we are today.
00:32:37.980And this is a new direction, a new day for America.
00:32:40.120I want to talk about that new direction, but I need this audience to understand because they don't quite understand the viciousness of how intense these fights are behind the scenes.
00:32:51.160When you say McCarthy and his followers were trying to knife people in the back, just walk us through for a second because I want to have the audience appreciate how hard this is.
00:32:59.680The political profiles and courage of you and others have stepped up here.
00:33:03.720But just walk us through how it was all unmasked the other night.
00:33:10.140This thing didn't need to last three weeks.
00:33:12.300So the first thing that McCarthy and his allies did was prolong it and delay it and recess us and adjourn us every time they possibly could to drag this thing out and make it as painful as possible for the eight of us who held the line and kicked McCarthy out of the speakership.
00:33:32.000Number two, there was a concerted and orchestrated effort at the hand of McCarthy that every time someone ascended, they got knifed in the back, including America's favorite Republican congressman in Jim Jordan.
00:33:45.660I mean, our conference couldn't even elect the best and favorite congressman in this country, Jim Jordan, because of what McCarthy and his allies were doing behind the scenes and orchestrating his failure.
00:33:58.780And he did it not once, not twice, but three times.
00:34:02.440And finally, we were able to unmask what he was doing earlier this week.
00:34:07.920And at one point, Kevin McCarthy had multiple hours speaking at the conference because I might want to get to speak.
00:34:46.860It is completely and totally captured by by the lobbyists, the Wall Street oligarchs, the corporatists, the political operatives, the consultants, Silicon Valley, massive power of the big law firms.
00:35:02.400This is all massive, incredible power.
00:36:37.960And this was about the power, the few people that have power in this country, K Street and downtown, and those in leadership, the former speaker.
00:36:52.000And the one thing I want to say, Steve, is that the war room posse was a huge part of that because people spoke up.
00:36:58.140They called their members of Congress and told them that the vote to vacate the former speaker was the right vote, and we needed to get a conservative, someone who would be honest, be trustworthy, and tell the truth to the American people.
00:37:09.800And that's what we were able to deliver.
00:37:11.840But it was not easy because the former speaker went kicking and screaming this week, had meltdowns in our conferences, a lot of threats were made.
00:37:23.480In the last week or so, I've received at least four death threats over my vote and over my convictions to change the direction of Washington and change the direction of this country.
00:37:32.840And we would not have been able to do it without the support of the people, number one.
00:37:38.300I noticed that you didn't go run to the microphones and whine about that immediately either, which I think is very powerful.
00:37:43.480People would say, you know, the mainstream media would think, because Mike Johnson is such a radical right social conservative that Nancy Mace, how could Nancy Mace ever be an ally of his?
00:37:52.860But walk through about how you've come to this point to support the direction that we're headed.
00:37:59.540Maybe not all the details of policy, but directionally where we're headed.
00:38:03.980And I'm not going to agree with everyone on everything, Steve.
00:38:06.160We have plenty of policy debate between you and I and your audience.
00:38:10.180But Mike is a good man, and he's a man of faith, and he's honest, and he's trustworthy.
00:38:16.980And the very least that we need for the American people is to restore trust in the institution of Congress, restore trust amongst the people and the folks that we represent.
00:38:26.760And I believe he is the guy to do that.
00:38:28.960And policy aside, he's just a good Christian man who believes in his faith in God and believes that that is how he can navigate his role in history right now.
00:38:42.380And we need someone who's going to have convictions, who's going to be a man of principle, and a man of his word.
00:38:47.900And quite frankly, he's not with me on every issue.
00:38:50.920And he and I sat down earlier this week and talked about some of the issues that I'm very passionate about and trying to find some common ground.
00:39:01.700And one of the issues, for example, that I'm very passionate about is how we get women voters, suburban women, suburban moms, back into the Republican Party, back to vote for Republicans and keep our country intact next year at the presidential level and then also at Congress and the Senate.
00:39:18.140And, you know, he came up to me this week and said, I talked to my wife and there are all these things that we agree on, whether it's safety in schools, hardening our schools, whether it's making sure that moms and dads have the resources that they need, but understanding that how we talk to people really matters.
00:39:35.680And our conservative policies are the best policies for our nation's children and families, but it's also how we talk to people and show people that we care.
00:39:43.280And he gets that. And the best thing about Mike that I can say is he's just an honest guy and you just you know where he stands.
00:39:50.400He's going to work very hard. And I mean, he's going to put us to work like like we've never worked before is the feeling that I have right now, which is what our country needs.
00:39:58.800By the way, I remember the gasp on the House floor when you voted no against McCarthy and you told us on the show beforehand it was a matter of trust.
00:40:07.880He had just lied to you too many times. Walk me through. We've got a couple of minutes here.
00:40:12.280What where's your focus going to be? We got to see her coming up.
00:40:15.700You know, the Senate's now trying to bifurcate Israel and Ukraine funding.
00:40:20.000We've got the beginning of the Third World War. You got an invasion on the southern border.
00:40:23.160Where's Nancy Mace's priorities? Where are you going to be spending your time and your focus?
00:40:28.500Well, we shouldn't do anything in the next few weeks funding or spending wise without funding and resources for the southern border, because unless we shut that down, nothing else should happen.
00:40:37.920We should not be sending aid overseas without us securing our own border, because what happened overseas in Israel could happen here at home if we're not careful.
00:40:47.080And I feel that because our national security at home has not been taken seriously by Joe Biden, we have opened ourselves up to terrorists coming across the southern border.
00:40:57.860So, number one, that needs to be figured out before we do anything else.
00:41:01.640I would like to see Ukraine and Israel supplemental support be separated.
00:41:07.060They should not be put together in the same bucket. We'll see if we'll be able to do that.
00:41:11.780And then, of course, any short-term spending measure, what is that going to look like if we can't get the 12 appropriations bills done in time because the speaker's fight was drawn out by the former disgraced speaker?
00:41:24.600So those are the things that we have to deliver on and address in the interim in the next two or three weeks.
00:41:31.440And then it is my hope that Mike Johnson will get a head start on next year's spending.
00:41:37.000We've lost a lot of time because Kevin McCarthy screwed America on the budget this year and the 12 appropriations bill.
00:41:44.380So it's my hope that the appropriators will get a head start on it so that we don't run into this next year,
00:41:50.300that we're well ahead of time, that Chuck Schumer has the budget, has the spending bills,
00:41:54.160well in advance of any potential looming CR, any type of emergency where we're going to have to have an omnibus or a CR, those kinds of things.
00:42:02.380We have to avoid an omnibus before the end of the year, period.
00:42:08.800So we're breaking some news here. That's a pretty hard line.
00:42:11.260I want to go back. You're a Citadel grad.
00:42:12.920I think the first woman from Citadel to graduate Citadel.
00:42:20.860Are you telling us that you feel that even before the Israel supplement,
00:42:25.280even if you bifurcate Ukraine and Israel, you want to see action on the southern border
00:42:31.840and talk about a package of real action on the southern border before even the funding of the Israel supplemental?
00:42:38.400We have to address the southern border, period.
00:42:41.420And the way to do that is in these next supplemental spending bills,
00:42:45.300is use that as leverage to be able to move forward.
00:42:48.140And it's very important that we do that.
00:42:51.320Israel is going to have the support that it needs.
00:42:53.320I sit on the House Armed Services Committee.
00:42:54.980I just got briefed in a classified setting this week on our support of Israel.
00:43:00.820Also, they get $4 billion from our budget every year and our annual fiscal year just reset October 1.
00:43:06.440So we have time to figure this out and be supportive of our allies.
00:43:10.580But if we don't get this mess at the southern border, we are going to open ourselves up to all sorts of continued national security issues,
00:43:19.060whether you're talking about fentanyl or terrorists that are crossing the border.
00:43:22.600And as you're seeing in the footage right now, we spend more money on foreign aid than we do on roads and bridges in this country.
00:44:13.080For war room veterans, you know, we have been all over the supply chain issue with China and medications and the active pharmaceutical ingredients.
00:44:24.620China has a stranglehold on us where there's a way to break that.
00:44:29.480I got an emergency medication kit from them.
00:44:33.300The FDA just declared a global shortage of medication and warned that critical antibiotics are in extreme short supply across the United States.
00:44:40.620But you know that because you're a viewer or listener of the show.
00:44:44.780Now, here's the action you can take to correct.
00:44:48.540Do yourself and your family a favor and get your Jace case right now.
00:44:52.780It's a pack of five prescription antibiotics you'll have on hand for common emergencies.
00:45:04.660Take a few minutes and fill out the form.
00:45:06.420Your information will be reviewed by a board-certified physician and your medication will be dispensed by a licensed pharmacy at a fraction of the regular cost.
00:45:17.660You'll be glad you have the Jace case.
00:46:20.420But they can't on the on the policy matters.
00:46:23.280The thing is, all of the things that you talked about in your in your monologue about who he is, Republicans don't bat an eye about that stuff.
00:46:30.840All the things you listen to are pretty mainstream for the conference right now.
00:46:34.960The reality is you just can't make those things policy.
00:47:27.660When I call Fox TV for stupid people, half of MSNBC is also TV for stupid people.
00:47:36.400I'm just not picking on Fox or Murdoch News.
00:47:39.860The reason is when you want to see TV for stupid people, it is you have the party apparatchiks and just those talking points, the same mindless talking points.
00:47:50.640And they got to they think they got to wash, rinse, repeat because it's a theory of modern communications to low information folks that they just have to repeat it over and over.
00:47:59.740So it's not only not interesting, it's kind of counterproductive, particularly if it's just coming from a central party apparatus.
00:48:06.920OK, the reason that we monitor CNN and BBC and MSNBC, particularly others like that, when they have members of the failed establishment.
00:48:19.120And in this case, people like Brendan Buck and like Tim Miller and like Nicole Wallace and Charlie Sykes and others, MSNBC, with some of the smart people over there, you get a quite accurate breakdown and understanding of exactly what's going on.
00:48:36.940Yes, we are a minorist, vanguardist movement.
00:48:41.900It's not that we don't have support of the actual voters and the populace, but the way that the city has run.
00:48:50.760And this is please, I don't want to ever do drain the swamp again.
00:48:53.400It's just too cutesy a term because these people are vicious.
00:48:56.980If you're interested in limited government.
00:49:00.540If you're interested in fiscal responsibility.
00:49:04.040If you're interested really in liberty and in freedom.
00:49:07.000And these just not as hollow terms that are thrown out when people run for office, but the reality of that and what that means for America and for her citizens.
00:49:29.740Well, think about even Naomi Wolf on the vaccine.
00:49:32.480She's going to be up in, I think, the five o'clock hour today.
00:49:37.480These people, you see that their focus and their interest is often aligned to in the rank order of what's important and particularly now what is important to save the country.
00:49:49.000The buried lead, it was not just the minority, the minority, the minority, the vanguardist.
00:49:56.000Thinking of what we call command by negation.
00:49:58.940That's what Brandon Buck said, the quiet part out loud later.
00:50:03.780They can't impose their vision and particularly what they did with Mike Johnson at the beginning of that was to talk about all his social conservatism, the social because he was in the trenches for many years as a constitutional lawyer from one of those great.
00:50:16.780I think for the Association Defending Democracy, one of the one of these great groups that that comes in and fights for religious liberty and social conservatives.
00:50:57.700The next phase of the battle is Ukraine funding, the funding of these wars.
00:51:05.360I mean, Nancy Nancy Mace just dropped a bombshell in the reality check that even in defense of Israel as an ally, that right now the priority is on the southern border.
00:51:14.680And if you don't get the southern border right immediately, you don't take dramatic actions immediately, our allies in Taiwan and Israel will cease to exist.
00:51:27.620You must have a strong and robust America.
00:51:29.800And she walked through the actual because she's on armed services, the actual mechanisms that are already in place to make sure that Israel is defended as we think through what that funding should be.
00:51:41.300And right now, I think the central question is, is Biden, is the Biden regime have too big a grasp?
00:51:49.460You know, I'm all for our approach has to be conditional.
00:51:53.140We have to have an overall strategy of what we're doing and make sure that, hey, you just can't go and start nuking Gaza.
00:52:09.540That that is the Biden regime is trying to backdoor ceasefire and then go right to a two state solution, which if you saw what the Muslim Brotherhood and that's what it is, the Muslim Brotherhood did to the Israelis.
00:52:23.380How can you how can you ceasefire that?
00:52:25.120How can you two nation that at this stage?
00:52:35.200I'll try to get gaffling, maybe even for the afternoon show, the infiltration in our country, not just the mass invasion that's taken place with at least eight million people.
00:52:45.380I mean, Monica Crowley said she thinks it's 40 or 50 million.
00:52:49.080Brian Kennedy last night on immigration is warfare.
00:53:04.500What we try to do is immerse yourself in information.
00:53:06.420Go to birchgold.com slash ban and you get the end of the dollar empire.
00:53:10.660OK, that immerses you in kind of the understanding of of the politics of money, the understanding of the debt trap, the understanding of the U.S.
