Bannon's War Room - Battleground EP 204： Where We Stand With The Speaker Of The House

00:00:00.000 this is what you're fighting for i mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing

00:00:19.700 people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the authoritarians

00:00:27.460 get total control and total power because this is just like in arizona this is just like in georgia

00:00:33.240 it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations

00:00:38.320 this is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is the fight

00:00:42.080 all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's your host

00:00:49.200 stephen k bannon okay welcome uh very historic and intense day on capitol hill first time in over

00:00:59.880 uh they say 100 years back then they went uh nine ballots over three days when i bring in john fun

00:01:06.000 john's the editor of hotline the uh with steve moore over at the committee on american prosperity

00:01:12.480 uh and also uh columnist of national review and one of the top authorities on election integrity

00:01:18.240 election fraud and uh votes dealing he's got a new book at our broken elections we'll get that up

00:01:23.080 in a second john fund um walk us through what happened today they just adjourned right now we

00:01:30.080 know the pressure cooker is really up because they're behind closed doors in each other's grills

00:01:35.340 we're hearing this from uh from people that are participants in this walk us through the

00:01:40.340 what a historic day this was and what actually did we see happen

00:01:44.900 what we saw happen was a breakdown in trust between a significant part of the republicans

00:01:54.380 in the house and their leadership normally the followers uh the troops follow the generals in this

00:02:03.180 case the lead general kevin mccarthy did not have the confidence of at least a tenth of his members

00:02:09.180 actually probably more like a fourth uh if they were willing to uh speak privately and what you saw

00:02:16.940 at the end was mccarthy decided not to have an all-night marathon so he called a halt to the vote after

00:02:22.820 three rounds uh in a championship fight and they're now having a long recess and they'll uh promise other

00:02:30.400 things they'll threaten they'll bamboozle they'll bully but i don't think it's going to work

00:02:35.740 because uh if kevin mccarthy were to win after this i think he would be a fundamentally weak leader

00:02:42.900 i think the democrats would sense that weakness and they would press for everything that they could

00:02:48.440 on the floor uh to anger he and his uh anger the conservative base sort of goad them on and i think

00:02:56.200 kevin mccarthy would prove to be an ineffective basically non-speaker and i think in the end what's

00:03:03.780 going to happen is mccarthy's going to recognize that the chalice he's been handled is poisoned and

00:03:08.880 that uh he'll step down and i think ultimately the job is going to go to steve scalise who is the whip

00:03:13.980 the number two house republican right now from louisiana let me look you've covered this for you've

00:03:22.320 covered the politics for a long time but particularly because today on the morning show we talked about

00:03:26.500 this was 12 years and building up from the tea party this was really this kind of populist wing of the

00:03:31.660 party the trump now the trump movement part of it but the tea party before that and there was a lot

00:03:37.060 of anger against what russville calls the cartel or the or the central um you know uniparty apparatus

00:03:42.720 so there was a lot of uh this has been building up for for a while why do you say he'd be so weakened

00:03:49.560 because he would have to uh he would have to uh give up so much in order to get these votes

00:03:55.200 well he has in the course of the last three weeks when he's been campaigning for speaker

00:04:04.280 kevin mccarthy has pretty much conceded everything to his critics which has driven the moderates in

00:04:10.860 the party crazy uh so they no longer trust him because he said things like i'm not going to allow

00:04:16.200 vacating the chair i'm not going to allow five members to band together and force a vote on whether

00:04:20.560 or not i remain speaker i promise you i won't do that to the conservatives he promised well i'm

00:04:25.260 never going to agree with you i'm never going to give you everything you wanted so you know there's

00:04:28.640 an old saying steve and i'm sure you've heard it you can't be all things to all people and kevin

00:04:34.600 mccarthy whom i've known for 25 years and has many admirable qualities he's a tactical genius he's a

00:04:40.720 magnificent fundraiser uh he's a great if you want somebody to you know know how to turn the dials on

00:04:47.260 the floor he'd be good at it but i'll be honest with you having known him for 25 years and never

00:04:52.380 having had crosswords with him uh he doesn't believe in much he's not a policy guy there's no

00:04:58.540 ideological core there in fact his mentor bill thomas the former chairman of the house ways and means

00:05:03.960 committee said the other day i'm really disappointed in kevin it looks like he just doesn't believe in

00:05:08.500 much anymore except his own ambition how did no one that this day was coming how did mccarthy get i

00:05:17.860 mean he's in charge of recruiting he kind of formed this how did how did we how did he actually get to

00:05:22.560 a place to be essentially humiliated on the floor for a better part of the day how did this day arrive

00:05:30.520 for him given all the power he had it all began it all began seven years ago when john boehner

00:05:37.820 retired suddenly in the middle of a congressional session as speaker and everyone thought it would

00:05:45.380 be kevin mccarthy who took over he was the whip at the time and the problem was that people didn't

00:05:53.620 trust mccarthy then seven years ago he remember he ran for speaker then he stepped down and that's how

00:05:58.760 we ended up with paul ryan because people were desperate and they didn't have a plan b so they

00:06:04.280 went to paul ryan and said you're respected you're liked you have national recognition because he ran

00:06:09.100 as vice president for with mitt romney in 2012 please be speaker and ryan reluctantly agreed with

00:06:14.320 shall we say at best mixed results and mccarthy has already had this happen once he had to step back

00:06:22.320 in a humiliating fashion but he stayed you know to use credit he stayed he campaigned for people he

00:06:28.660 raised money he climbed up the greasy pole and but now the doubts have returned more than ever that

00:06:35.560 since the republicans had a very disappointing election in the house they expected to win

00:06:40.200 20 seats 25 30 seats they ended up winning nine enough for control but not for really effective

00:06:46.420 control and their margin is close enough because the speakership is elected by the entire body of

00:06:52.200 congress not just republicans that you can only afford to lose four members of his 222 members

00:06:57.780 he loses five he can't be speaker

00:06:59.380 um and now he's got 19 going to 20 and who knows what happens uh tomorrow morning given look

00:07:08.800 going up you're one of the top look you're one of the top guys in elections you and hans in the

00:07:13.920 country and what needs to happen to make sure the democrats can't continue to to steal elections like 0.71

00:07:18.920 they're doing in regular elections you also understand given your time at national review and

00:07:23.420 the wall street journal the problems we have with the national debt the problems we have with

00:07:27.860 this a massive overspending things like the omnibus given the fights that have to happen if you leave

00:07:32.700 the personalities aside what the what the mega base of the populist wing of the republican party is

00:07:38.480 fighting for today uh how does this get resolved regardless of personalities because there's clearly

00:07:43.880 a a difference in how hard you go after the biden regime how how much

00:07:48.020 you you fight with the senate and you've got mcconnell and kentucky tomorrow rubbing up on uh on biden uh

00:07:55.220 talking about bipartisanship which really means just more collaboration by the by the uh by the

00:08:00.580 republican senate so how do you see this playing out from a angle of attack point of view not just

00:08:05.480 personalities but the policies that will be implemented and fought for well first of all remember steve the 0.99

00:08:12.080 old joke that we have a stupid party an evil party and the one thing you never want to do in washington 1.00

00:08:18.820 is have legislation that's bipartisan because it will probably end up being both stupid and evil 1.00

00:08:24.200 uh the stupid party uh cannot resolve everything just with this vote or whoever they elect a speaker 1.00

00:08:32.280 they're going to have to defer some fights and some internal divisions a little bit into the future 1.00

00:08:38.180 they have to figure out what we can agree on what three or four central things unite all republicans

00:08:43.980 and i would say it's this um and it has changed obviously in the era of donald trump uh the first is

00:08:51.760 the trump economic policies worked they worked in fact they were even lessening inequality real wages

00:08:59.660 were going up until the pandemic uh so we can agree that the trump economic policies worked we can agree

00:09:06.160 that trump recalibrated american foreign policy and trade policy to some extent now some people want

00:09:12.260 to go further some people want to stay where we are some people want to go backwards but even joe biden

00:09:16.800 is now beating up on china in small ways and medium-sized ways um and so the agreement on a more assertive 0.85

00:09:25.300 independent america first foreign policy more so than the days of mitt romney but probably less so than

00:09:32.120 what trump would do on his own then the third thing you could agree on is the biden administration

00:09:38.000 and its allies in the media have weaponized certain instruments against not only the conservative

00:09:43.760 movement of the american people i'm talking about the irs i'm talking about the fbi i'm talking about

00:09:48.680 big media i'm talking about big tech uh that's why one of the good things that mccarthy agreed to

00:09:54.760 in trying to get all their votes for speaker was a subcommittee a permanent subcommittee

00:09:59.340 on the weaponization of the federal government against the american people that's very important

00:10:05.100 abuses like that if they're exposed and known by the american people and there's a platform that

00:10:11.980 people can use not just c-span but your show and other shows and actually learn what's been done

00:10:17.320 they'll get angry and i think that those kinds of those are three issues a couple more

00:10:22.940 transparency and government would be another one if you do that yeah then you could start taking on

00:10:27.900 why hang on why why why you're talking about this and i got mike davis up too we've got the clip

00:10:32.980 from uh from jim jordan's nomination speech today on the floor for kevin mccarthy let's play that i want

00:10:41.300 john funn's analysis and commentary let's go ahead and rip price to nominate kevin mccarthy for speaker

00:10:46.220 uh thank you madam clerk uh i think we have three objectives this congress

00:11:16.220 three fundamental things we have to get done in the 118th congress first pass the bills that fix the

00:11:23.140 problems in two years time we have went we have a border that is no longer a border we have a military

00:11:29.880 that can't meet its recruitment goals we have bad energy policy bad education policy record spending

00:11:35.360 record inflation record debt and a government that has been weaponized against we the people

00:11:40.560 against the very people we represent

00:11:42.480 so we we need to pass legislation to address all that and i hope my democrat colleagues will join me

00:11:52.200 i really do but i have my doubts and if they don't and if chuck schumer says no we're not going

00:11:58.120 to take up that legislation that we asked and if joe biden won't sign it so be it they'll have to

00:12:02.960 answer to the people in 2024 second second we can never ever let a bill like the one that passed 12

00:12:12.640 days ago 1.7 trillion dollars we can never ever let that kind of legislation pass again

00:12:18.460 we have to we have to pass a budget that makes sense that's good common sense then do the 12

00:12:35.340 appropriation bills that that are that recognize it's the people's money not ours and send it to

00:12:41.080 the senate and then stand firm on that legislation and again if they won't take it up and joe biden

00:12:47.660 won't sign it we can stand firm on a cr or something we can have that fight but we are not going to

00:12:53.600 have what took place a week and a half ago ever happen again and then finally third and this is

00:12:59.320 important we got to do the oversight do the investigations

00:13:03.680 we have to do the oversight and the investigations that need to be done this idea that bureaucrats who 1.00

00:13:15.200 never put their name on a ballot but think they run the country who have assaulted our constituents first amendment

00:13:21.140 liberties they need to be held accountable that has to happen we need to do it

00:13:25.140 we need to do it in a way that's consistent with the constitution but we need to do it vigorously and

00:13:44.300 aggressively that is part of our duty as members of this body to my friends here on this side of the

00:13:51.560 aisle i would just say this the differences we may have the differences between joyce and jordan or

00:13:58.180 biggs and bacon they pale in comparison to the differences between us and the left which now

00:14:03.660 unfortunately controls the other party so we had better we had better come together and fight for

00:14:11.100 these key things these three things that's that's what the people want us to do and i think kevin

00:14:16.980 mccarthy's the right guy to lead us i really do or i wouldn't be standing up here giving this speech

00:14:20.820 i i came in with kevin we came in the same time 16 years ago we haven't always agreed on everything

00:14:26.360 but i like his fight i like his tenacity and i liked it remember kevin told me i actually wrote about this

00:14:32.500 in a book i remember kevin told me he said when the the toughest times of life are when you get knocked

00:14:37.400 down the question is can you come back and i've always seen him be able to do that we need to rally

00:14:43.260 around him come together and deal with these three things because this is what the people sent us here

00:14:48.340 to do my favorite scripture verses second timothy four seven paul's the old guy giving advice to the

00:14:54.880 young guy and he says fight the good fight finish the course keep the faith i like the verse because

00:15:00.240 it's a verse of action fight finish keep not wimpy words words that i think fit america that's what

00:15:07.580 the american people want us to do they want us to fight for the things they care about and they elected

00:15:11.360 us to do and we should all remember we should all remember only about 12 000 people have ever had

00:15:19.300 the opportunity to do what we're doing today sit in this body serving this congress it is a privilege

00:15:25.840 it is an opportunity we owe it to them the american people the good people of this great country

00:15:31.880 to step forward to come together get a speaker elected so we can address these three things i hope

00:15:38.820 you'll vote for kevin mccarthy and that's why i'm proud to nominate him for speaker of the house

00:15:42.740 john john funn you've been around you've been around a long time your analysis of that speech sir

00:15:53.540 in 1976 ronald reagan lost the republican nomination to jerald ford he was asked after ford won to step up

00:16:02.900 to the podium and give a speech to unify the party uh reagan's speech you remember it steve you may

00:16:09.520 have been on a ship somewhere but you remember it um reagan's speech was amazing and but he barely

00:16:16.860 mentioned gerald ford because it was about policy and principle and what had to be done and ford was

00:16:22.820 crushed because it wasn't about him well i counted the speech for four minutes and 45 seconds

00:16:29.100 jim jordan talked about what the party should represent and be and then he said the omnibus

00:16:35.200 bill we passed 12 days ago well it passed with the passive acceptance of kevin mccarthy that speech

00:16:41.580 was like mark anthony's speech about julius caesar i accept that instead of i come to praise caesar

00:16:48.160 not to bury him i come to bury mccarthy not to praise him and i think that was a funeral dirge

00:16:54.720 for kevin mccarthy not a nomination a funeral dirge uh john how do people get to the new uh to

00:17:03.380 the the hotline uh morning uh uh newsletter how do they get to you on social media and how do they get

00:17:08.720 the book well i'm i'm on twitter at john fund the new twitter shall we say uh i certainly have

00:17:39.880 we will make sure we get that up then we'll get everybody to sign up john thank you for taking time

00:17:45.620 away today to join us for your assessment appreciate it thank you john fund one of the smartest guys

00:17:51.260 around um i want to bring in mike davis another fighter mike first off your comments and your

00:17:56.900 observations on uh jim jordan's nomination speech for kevin mccarthy do you agree with john fund it was

00:18:05.800 like mark anthony's uh it was equivalent to mark anthony's a funeral oration for caesar

00:18:11.420 uh it wasn't the most rousing speech it was i i kind of thought it was the kiss of death uh when i

00:18:18.380 listened to it uh here's the problem with all of all of these people who are advocating for mccarthy

00:18:24.040 there why couldn't any other uh republican do what they're saying that mccarthy needs to do they're

00:18:31.440 saying we need to elect a speaker right away so democrats don't uh have hakeem jeffries become a

00:18:38.120 that's just nonsense there's no way that's going to happen and then we need a speaker right away so

00:18:42.840 we can move forward with investigations in the house well mccarthy hasn't even picked all the

00:18:48.720 committee chairmen they haven't hired the staff so they're not ready to go on these investigations

00:18:53.260 anyway so what's the what's the argument for kevin mccarthy versus say steve scalise like what i i'm just

00:19:00.200 not understanding why there's such a compelling need to have kevin mccarthy he's been through three

00:19:07.140 house votes now he he lost 19 republicans on the first one 19 republicans on the second one and

00:19:12.940 unbelievably he lost 20 on the third he's losing support it's time for him to pack up uh you know

00:19:20.160 he moved into the speaker's office yesterday or today whenever it was prematurely it's time to

00:19:24.740 to have the movers go get his stuff and get out because he's now the one who's slowing down the

00:19:30.020 republican agenda because he doesn't have republican support to become speaker just like last time he does

00:19:35.840 not have the republican support to become speaker because he didn't earn the republican support to

00:19:40.840 become speaker he didn't win enough house seats this election as john talked about so he can have

00:19:46.060 the margin to make up for the defects and so it's time for him to bow out and let's let's look at plan

00:19:51.880 b and there is a plan b and it's steve scalise because he's the one who can uh unify the republican

00:19:58.180 party republican house and actually get elected speaker

00:20:01.260 well for the argument i want to play the um and i want to make sure i read this properly

00:20:08.680 scott mcfarland is is reporting it's on twitter he's reporting that and this is general uh don

00:20:14.800 bacon i think out in nebraska a congressman uh bacon is saying that and he was very uh vocal today

00:20:22.760 about those people voting against kevin mccarthy took a lot of umbrage with it he's just reported

00:20:28.300 saying now and i'm almost quoting um if the 20 gop dissenters don't relent mccarthy and his team

00:20:36.920 will have to go seeking democratic votes with sweeteners including added committee assignments

00:20:43.500 now mccarthy's team has been pushing this thing of a coalition government where you have

00:20:47.340 you know quote unquote some blue dog democrats join with neoliberal neocons like uh general bacon and

00:20:54.140 others inform some sort of uh you know make up with the the mega republicans with some sort of

00:20:59.800 democratic votes the democrats have been saying at the thing that ain't happening right they're

00:21:04.040 voting for hakeem jeffries every time but is is that a threat that the the savvy people in

00:21:10.280 capitol hill are going to take seriously or is this just more bluster it's going to backfire it

00:21:14.720 shows that kevin mccarthy is making this about kevin mccarthy and not the house republican

00:21:20.800 conference not about conservatives not about america this is about kevin he wants to win

00:21:25.800 the speakership at all costs and he's willing to do whatever it takes to get there remember he doesn't

00:21:31.920 he does is he even conservative who knows it's just whoever he needs to appease that moment to get

00:21:39.320 power he's a chameleon and he's not fit to be the speaker of the house he doesn't have uh he doesn't

00:21:45.940 i don't know what his guiding principles are other than he wants to be the speaker of the house

00:21:50.240 kevin mccarthy's guiding principle is kevin mccarthy and that's it and he's proving this

00:21:55.180 by making the house go through vote after vote after vote threatening to uh form a coalition

00:22:02.180 government with hakeem jeffries and democrats to dilute republicans power that he's just proving this

00:22:08.940 is not about uh the country the house republicans uh conservatism this is about kevin mccarthy

00:22:15.600 uh given that a lot of the what they call the dissenters were the mega republicans and members

00:22:23.700 of the of the house freedom caucus they're saying hey look it's only 20 people right kevin's got 200

00:22:29.940 votes uh these people are just a nuisance how compare that to the historic nature of what's happened

00:22:35.920 because in the past either people got in the first round if they didn't have it they wouldn't run they

00:22:40.980 would walk away compare it with what these uh what the mega republicans have done here on kind of a

00:22:46.520 historical basis this is so important we haven't had this contest of a house speakership race what i

00:22:53.020 think was like 1922 100 years ago when there were eight rounds this is critically important this you

00:22:58.960 know we this is going to be the only federal body that republicans control it is critically important

00:23:04.540 that we have someone in there who is actually conservative who who understands and appreciates

00:23:10.260 uh conservative uh conservatives populist conservatives and will fight for those people

00:23:15.060 and what we've seen with kevin mccarthy uh in his years in leadership is he's more concerned about

00:23:22.120 appeasing the swamp the dc lobbyist the corporate interest in dc he doesn't give a damn about 0.69

00:23:28.960 populist populist conservatives and he's proven that time and time and time again and we saw this

00:23:35.280 with covet where was he on covet why why wasn't he raising holy hell when the federal government the cdc

00:23:41.140 was closing schools and locking us down during covet where was he um what you know where was he during

00:23:47.100 the blm and antifa riots where was he where was he when democrats want to use uh you know their gender

00:25:51.560 has a recovery that uh will amaze us all but that's the update uh he's still in critical condition

00:25:57.260 and that's concerning um not out of the woods yet and statistically we'll go over some of the things

00:26:05.480 that uh can um add up to why the concerns are still present uh based on his status being

00:26:12.360 this long still intubated and sedated uh dr cole if you hang on we're going to uh come back with you

00:28:20.800 dr ryan cole uh demar hamlin had a horrific incident last night on national television

00:28:29.380 is is the question is was it commotio cordis versus some sort of vax after effect what is this

00:28:36.800 whole controversy between was it about the hit and heart rhythmia or was it something to do with

00:28:42.420 the vax can you set us straight on this certainly so commotio cordis is exactly what it sounds like

00:28:47.960 commotion of the heart and a blunt force trauma to the heart can stop the rhythm of the heart suddenly

00:28:54.040 it happens it's rare and he certainly took a hit but the question that is to be begged and we should

00:29:01.120 be asking this question societally especially with the amount of sudden deaths in the younger cohort and

00:29:06.620 the younger population not just nationwide but worldwide 1600 cardiac arrests since the rollout of

00:29:12.860 the shots and 1100 deaths in athletes so we need to ask the question did he have a booster recently

00:29:19.480 and it's especially dangerous if you're covid recovered which most people are to get an injection

00:29:24.400 on top of a covid recovery because of the hyperimmune response that occurs in the body and we know the heart

00:29:31.740 is especially sensitive in these younger more active individuals so the vaccine could certainly be

00:29:38.440 contributory if he had one even within the last four or five months and we've seen this under the

00:29:43.300 microscope my colleagues dr burkhardt out of germany and his group some of the autopsies i reviewed

00:29:48.680 here and so it could be a contributory factor and you can't find what you don't look for so the question

00:29:56.540 should be explored and not ignored and much of the media obviously is attacking for saying oh how dare you

00:30:02.540 suggest this well ed dowd his new book cause unknown you know the countless numbers of deaths in young

00:30:09.380 people and he has references to a hundred different peer-reviewed papers uh in the back of the book with

00:30:16.380 you know vaccine cardiac injuries so we know that it happens you you don't think this you don't think

00:30:23.580 this is being a conspiracy theory wingnut to ask these questions for science and medicine sir

00:30:29.240 no science should ask all questions there's no consensus in science and if if these you know all

00:30:36.300 doctors and scientists agree when you censor the ones who don't and that's the problem we have the

00:30:41.960 question should be asked because this is what should be explored and you know i i hope it's not that but

00:30:48.240 we have ways of showing that it is in the laboratory and hopefully it's not that and again wishing him a

00:30:54.920 speedy recovery but at the same time if we're continuing to push and coercing young people in

00:31:00.980 colleges etc and young athletes to take a shot they don't need for you know a virus that no longer

00:31:06.900 exists these shots are expired then we're causing harm to the youth of our nation we're causing harm to

00:31:13.100 the young healthy people of our nation and these shots have been proven to be a failure and so we have

00:31:19.260 to ask the question if we don't ask the question we will never find that answer and we're going to see

00:31:23.560 continued harm so this is really honoring the hippocratic oath to first do no harm so if we

00:31:29.720 don't explore these scientific concepts then we're not going to be doing right by humanity

00:31:35.620 dr cole how can people follow you on social media how do they get to your website to find out more

00:31:42.000 about you certainly at dr cole the number 12 on twitter i can also be found at the letter r

00:32:04.160 dr ryan cole thank you very much for sending us straight tonight appreciate it pleasure thank you

00:32:11.260 steve okay historic day on capitol hill but there's going to be another historic day in the vatican on

00:32:17.340 thursday uh joseph pierce is an expert uh well on many things in the catholic church particularly pope

00:32:22.700 benedict the 16th uh joseph for particularly for a non-catholic audience and maybe even for part of

00:32:28.940 our catholic audience how are we in a situation where you have a pope that has died and going to

00:32:34.500 be buried uh in the mass is going to be uh officiated by a pope who's in office sir

00:32:41.000 it's a very unusual situation the last time that a pope resigned uh or retired from office was a saint

00:32:50.260 actually saint celestine v back in the 13th century um and uh pope benedict's the only pope since then

00:32:56.540 to have followed that suit but i would say one thing however anomalous it was and however all of us

00:33:02.480 to admire pope benedict might have been disappointed by his resignation um we the fact is that his

00:33:10.140 predecessor is canonized uh and um you know i honestly believe and i say in my book that pope

00:33:16.120 benedict's papacy uh was much more successful than saint celestine v and i and i argue in the book he was

00:33:24.920 as holy as saint celestine v in other words who's just passed away to meet his eternal eternal reward

00:33:31.480 is someone who honestly believe and i know many other people honestly believe is now a saint

00:33:35.760 um joseph pierce uh in the book is by uh tan it's on the it's on the uh it's on the life and the

00:33:44.740 papacy of uh pope benedict the 16th he was uh such coming off of the reign of john paul ii he was

00:33:52.100 looked at particularly by traditional catholics as being someone that could take the church through

00:33:56.420 these turbulent times and it was a absolute stunning shock when he stepped down because

00:34:01.440 most people that race catholic didn't know about saint celestine they never had been taught that a

00:34:08.340 pope could actually step down or retire why did pope benedict particularly given what's happened to

00:34:15.100 traditional catholicism after why did pope benedict choose that path

00:34:18.280 i i i'll answer that as best as i can in a moment but one thing i would like to say is he was

00:34:25.300 uh saint john paul ii's right-hand man for 20 years the two of them together were dynamic duo

00:34:31.020 and they turned the tide against the liberals and the modernists in the church uh during saint john

00:34:37.160 paul ii's reign and then during the time that pope benedict was pope he did wonderful things for the

00:34:43.360 restoration of tradition for the uh for the the uh defeat uh and defense of the church

00:34:50.400 and defeat of modernism uh and liberalism within the church so he had a great deal of good uh before

00:34:56.640 he retired now you know obviously we're disappointed because we would have hoped that he would have

00:35:02.340 carried on doing good uh but i i you know to answer your question i it's it's speculative and there's

00:35:08.880 lots of speculation out there but my belief is that he didn't want to be pope you know the good thing

00:35:13.940 about holy men is they're not seeking power uh he was hoping to retire with the death of the saint

00:35:19.240 john paul ii uh he took on the burden of the papacy and i did a great job for the period that he was pope

00:35:25.220 and did some very important things including the restoration of the traditional liturgy uh the

00:35:29.820 traditional uh latin mass uh and and other good things um but uh i think that he hoped that he he

00:35:36.920 he realized he was getting old and getting weak and getting tired and i think he hoped that a younger

00:35:43.220 predecessor would uh would take up the reins and follow in in his path uh and and continue with

00:35:50.680 more energy uh the trade he had blazed both as uh cardinal watzinger as saint john paul ii's

00:35:57.300 right-hand man and then as pope benedict the 16th i think that was his hope uh joseph pierce how do we

00:36:04.660 get the book because people are going to want to read this now more than ever how do how does people

00:36:08.500 get the book and how do people follow you on social media particularly now all the way through

00:36:11.880 thursday to the funeral well they can certainly follow me and find out how to get the book at my

00:36:18.300 personal website which is jps.co j-p-e-a-r-c-e.co and they can buy the book directly from the publisher

00:36:25.820 at tanbooks.com joseph thank you very much look forward to having you back before the funeral on

00:36:32.480 thursday thank you very much sir my pleasure thanks so much for having me

00:36:36.460 normally a funeral for a the death and a funeral of a pope would be everything the global news is

00:36:43.580 talking about but a historic day in washington dc today and one of the individuals that drove that

00:36:48.500 is congressman bob good from virginia congressman good and thank you we had a little problem

00:36:52.980 technically getting you up on skype but you joined us by phone the first question i have to ask

00:36:57.120 is when you first came on the show i think the day that you put out that you weren't going to vote

00:37:02.720 for mccarthy you said hey um i'm telling you ken mccarthy is not going to be speaker he's not going

00:37:08.220 to get the votes and and we had you on and and of course the audience loved you but the mainstream

00:37:13.860 media was like laughing and this who's this guy he's a backbencher um as we closed the day on the

00:37:20.380 third of january the first work day it looks like bob good was a lot closer to being right than kevin

00:37:25.560 mccarthy and his team can you give us your assessment sir well thanks for being with you

00:37:30.820 steve sorry again for the technical difficulties but you know i had predicted that we would have

00:37:34.640 10 to 15 votes against kevin mccarthy on the first ballot i was very pleased that my colleagues and i

00:37:40.180 were able to bring 19 votes against him to hold that on the second ballot and then increase it by one

00:37:46.320 on the third ballot we were anticipating we would pick up even more votes on the fourth ballot i think

00:37:51.780 that's why kevin mccarthy's team made the motion to adjourn they wanted to try to have a sort of i

00:37:57.060 guess a cooling off period or try to reach out to some folks and see if they could try to persuade

00:38:01.800 and change some minds i don't think that's possible at this point and of course we won't begin to vote

00:38:06.000 again until noon tomorrow but you know time is on our side steve we should not be in a hurry

00:38:11.520 to make a bad decision this is too important for the country we've got to bring transformational

00:38:17.060 change to congress we've got to not only elect a better speaker today but we've got to deal a

00:38:22.440 blow if not a fatal blow at least a wound to the swamp cartel the establishment uniparty system

00:38:29.820 that's hostile to conservatives that has contempt to the voters who send us to washington and doesn't

00:38:36.080 want the input of regular members who are you know elected by their respective constituents in the 435

00:38:43.200 house districts so this is critically important and as you know steve there's no hurry anyway

00:38:48.980 because with only controlling one house of congress and the republicans having worked with the democrats

00:38:55.200 in the senate primarily but to some degree in the house to pass the omnibus 1.7 dollars

00:39:00.220 so 1.7 trillion dollar spending bill and surrender all of our financial leverage our budgetary leverage

00:39:06.900 into september the next time we'll have any ability to do anything meaningful in this congress with

00:39:12.080 the republican majority will be when the debt ceiling limit is reached when the debt ceiling

00:39:16.640 increase is comes forward probably around mid-year and we don't want kevin mccarthy surrendering to

00:39:23.020 making a bad deal with democrats as speaker like he did as majority leader and like he's done with every

00:39:29.500 major spending bill since he's been in republican leadership the only one he voted against while he

00:39:34.500 hoped it would pass was the 1.7 trillion dollar omnibus bill from a couple of weeks ago where he winked at

00:39:39.960 his senate colleagues and you know kind of gave him the nod hey go ahead and pass this thing i got to

00:39:44.220 say i'm against it because i'm trying to become speaker and they were literally laughing at him

00:39:47.620 and deriding him and making fun of him because they knew he was just trying to get the votes for speaker

00:39:51.940 congressman good what did you know i think it was six or seven weeks ago when you came forward

00:39:58.800 give us the case what did you know then that manifested itself today on the uh on the floor because we did a

00:40:06.920 real study of the mainstream media msnbc and cnn they were absolutely shocked about what was going

00:40:13.400 on what did bob good know that played out today on historically on the uh on the house floor

00:40:19.240 thankful again for my colleagues there are some true courageous conservative warriors in the house

00:40:25.800 i wish we had a few more of them in the senate but there are some true courageous conservative

00:40:29.820 warriors mostly in the freedom caucus along with our friend and ally matt gates and there were five of

00:40:34.520 us who were willing to sort of walk that political plank i've said many times steve that almost

00:40:39.220 everyone who's voicing support or expressing support for kevin mccarthy for speakership among

00:40:44.960 the republican congressional members it's because it's in their own selfish interest to do so whether

00:40:49.880 it's avoiding any retaliation or any any consequence for not supporting him or because of what they stand

00:40:55.620 to gain uh with committee assignments or leadership opportunities or so forth but every one of us who voiced

00:41:01.100 our opposition to kevin mccarthy and is voting against him now is doing so in conflict with their

00:41:06.480 own selfish political interests isn't that the courage that we call for for members of congress

00:41:11.160 and people like you and i and our friends in the so-called conservative media have derided republicans

00:41:17.300 for failing to lead for failing to show courage for surrendering to the status quo and the swamp system

00:41:23.080 and now you've got a few of us willing to do that and some of our we thought friends some of those who play

00:41:29.100 conservatives in the media industry present company of course excluded for obvious reasons uh they are

00:41:34.140 not really as conservative or as courageous they have pretended to be but i felt like these warriors

00:41:38.620 this group that we have would hold together so far it has held together i think we're going to

00:41:44.060 increase our numbers i think it's just a different time steve we see the five million illegals invading

00:41:49.060 the border we see the 32 trillion dollars in national debt we see what's going on our education

00:41:54.140 system we see the weakening of our military we see the surrender of our american energy

00:41:58.280 independence we see the weaponization of the federal government against its citizens we see

00:42:02.080 the hiring of the 87 000 irs agents on and on we could go we're teetering as a country it's too

00:42:08.520 important we can't do what we've always done we've got to make transformational change we know kevin

00:42:13.160 mccarthy represents the problem not the solution and we shouldn't be in a hurry to make a bad decision

00:42:17.780 we are in it for as long as it takes he's not going to be speaker we're not going to give in

00:42:22.200 the sooner he withdraws for the good of the country the good of the congress and the good of the

00:42:25.920 republican congress the better off we will all be we're going to try to get jim jordan through there

00:42:29.780 you know 20 of us can't choose the speaker it'll take 218 but as soon as kevin mccarthy recognizes

00:42:34.940 the reality because he's losing support then we can move forward to see who is that that best

00:42:39.620 candidate we can get 218 votes for i just remember the fourth and this is what we were hearing but you

00:42:46.440 just uh uh verified it that the the fourth ballot you the flood i'm not saying the floodgates would

00:42:52.440 open but more people would have come to your cause and that would have been a basically the death

00:42:57.200 knell for the mccarthy they may have hung on for a couple more uh ballots or votes but that would

00:43:03.000 have been the death knell for his attempt to speakership is that your assessment well i think

00:43:07.340 it's clearly you want momentum and you want to see us picking up votes at least holding a lot of

00:43:12.200 pressure on us as you know from we're in the house floor with you know 400 uh 415 or so members

00:43:19.320 who aren't voting the way we're voting and there's pressure to cave and to give in everybody's

00:43:23.460 tired everybody wants to go you know and and and you know you're you're taking you're taking incoming

00:43:28.320 if you will you're taking the artillery from folks in the media you know who are supposed to be your

00:43:32.600 friends and all but you know again this is what we signed up for this is why we came to congress

00:43:37.240 this is our moment and we are here for just such a time as this so we're willing to do whatever it

00:43:42.860 takes to get this across the finish line and yes we believe we were going to pick up votes on that

00:43:47.860 fourth ballot and once that begins to happen people are loyal until they're not loyal and people

00:43:53.160 are the people who are supporting kevin mccarthy in the congress it's because they think it's in

00:43:57.220 their best interest to do so once they realize he's not going to be speaker they're going to be looking

00:44:01.400 for other options and you're going to see some of those other 434 members of the of the congress

00:44:06.760 the uh 221 other republicans who are going to be starting to say maybe it could be me maybe i could be

00:44:12.180 speaker and and we're going to have the opportunity to vet those candidates publicly right there on the

00:44:16.080 house floor or in if we adjourn to republican conference meetings we'll do it there

00:44:20.000 congressman bowler was on the last hour and she said this morning it was quite nasty

00:44:26.020 in the conference in fact mike rogers got up and basically threatened she called it out she said

00:44:31.260 mike rogers stood up and said that if anybody that stood up today on the house floor and voted for kevin

00:44:36.020 mccarthy would be stripped of their committee assignments i heard also directly from people a part of

00:44:41.120 year 19 during the second uh the second and third ballots that there was the knives are out in the

00:44:46.760 cloakroom can you tell our audience the personal pressure that the 20 of you are under uh to uh we

00:44:52.540 had a conference meeting we had a conference meeting this morning and uh it was really an orchestrated

00:44:57.980 uh attack kind of trying to throw we as the christians in the lion's den if you will and uh it's funny if kevin

00:45:06.980 mccarthy if he showed the same intensity the same anger the same toughness against democrats and democrat

00:45:15.440 policies that are ruining the country if he showed that same kind of intensity and anger and toughness

00:45:20.740 against them these last two years as minority leader that he showed against republicans in the

00:45:25.780 conference meeting this morning just because they wouldn't support him as speaker we'd be probably

00:45:30.160 having a different conversation today and probably be having a different vote today but the only thing

00:45:35.520 he cares about and the only conviction that he has is to become speaker and he will do or say

00:45:39.820 anything to become speaker and so yes you saw that on full display this morning and frankly it had the

00:45:45.100 opposite effect of what they intended it just hardened our resolve and it confirmed what we already knew

00:45:50.480 that our cause is just and we've got to defeat him for speaker and so i think it really just solidified

00:45:56.540 that support and we had many members who aren't part of our core group of 20 yet but telling us on the

00:46:02.760 house floor today how wrong that was how embarrassing it was how inappropriate it was and really it

00:46:09.020 soured them on mccarthy now they're going to be summoning their courage in in different in different

00:46:14.440 increments in different at different paces of course but we're going to win the battle we're going

00:46:20.420 to do what it takes and as far as i'm concerned we are done with kevin mccarthy there's no more

00:46:24.700 conversations to be had with him there's no more negotiations to be had with him he's an

00:46:28.560 untrustworthy weak leader who doesn't have any core convictions except becoming speaker any deal

00:46:34.580 you made with him you couldn't trust him to keep it anyway he doesn't believe in the things that

00:46:38.380 he's been trying to agree to do in a desperate attempt to become a speaker so we've got to move

00:46:42.520 forward with someone else and that's what we're trying to do with jim jordan and on the house floor

00:46:46.520 congressman uh day uh good how would this play out tomorrow for our audience how is play out and

00:46:53.960 and what assistance can this audience be we got about uh two minutes yeah what everybody needs to

00:46:59.840 do is to reach out to their respective republican congressmen if they're not part of the 20 and tell

00:47:05.660 them they want them to vote against kevin mccarthy that they don't want kevin mccarthy as speaker the

00:47:10.740 country cannot afford another two years of the uniparty swamp cartel sticking it to the american people 1.00

00:47:18.180 increasing the national debt doing nothing about the border and all the issues that we've talked about

00:47:23.000 and you talk about ad nauseum on your show they need to reach out to the republican congressman and

00:47:27.420 say hey why aren't you voting for jim jordan he's the most popular republican in the country

00:47:31.780 on the congressional body anyway uh second most popular republican in the country but on the

00:47:36.920 congressional side he's certainly the most popular and you know what he's a loyal faithful soldier

00:47:41.200 he's a humble warrior a courageous conservative who will answer the call of duty even though he's not

00:47:47.320 seeking it to become speaker that's why we want him as speaker because he's the opposite of kevin mccarthy

00:47:53.000 the number is 202-225-3121 that's the main switchboard ask for your a member of the house
