this is what you're fighting for I mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing
00:00:19.040
people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the authoritarians
00:00:26.800
get total control and total power because this is just like in Arizona this is just like in Georgia
00:00:32.520
it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations
00:00:37.660
that's why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is the fight
00:00:41.420
all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's your host
00:00:48.540
stephen k bannon okay welcome it's friday 6 january year of alert 2023 uh historic day and it's going
00:00:57.360
to be historic night i think we're going to reconvene at 10 o'clock for the star chamber
00:01:01.600
you got a hard six you got another what 14 or 15 that are out negotiated a deal i think anna polina
00:01:08.160
luna is going to join us hopefully in a little while by phone to walk us through the look if it
00:01:12.700
happens it's historic right if it happens it's historic people should understand that but by the
00:01:18.880
way it has to happen it has to be actually you heard mike davis you heard myself here john ferricks
00:01:22.840
we're you know davis and i are deal guys i'm always um very concerned when you don't actually have it
00:01:29.140
in your hand particularly when you're dealing with these guys like the cartels however if they we hadn't
00:01:35.280
gone through this exercise and you got the hard six it says no i can't take him a speaker they got the
00:01:40.400
cartel heads got to leave but you wouldn't have never gotten uh you know and this is what you
00:01:45.820
know commander zinke a great guy but you know he's there on cnn every night talking he was a guy that
00:01:51.860
came in from mccarthy early on if you hadn't gone through this exercise which is not painful but this
00:01:56.600
is about change you would have never have gotten the potential historic elements that really people
00:02:02.100
have worked on for 20 25 years i got pedro gonzalez from chronicles one of the editors over there
00:02:07.060
pedro i know you're overseas it's late i want to get you first i got mark mitchell from rasmussen
00:02:11.600
we have the darren beattie we're trying to get anna polina luna um pedro you've had as is your want
00:02:19.980
you've had some pretty uh direct uh tweets today i guess that's the way i can diplomatically say it
00:02:29.740
you know you're one of the young great intellectual lights in our movement uh and i think you've been
00:02:36.180
quite blunt today on on twitter can you tell us what your what your position is as as we sit here
00:02:41.480
tonight uh where they're going to have a star chamber sometimes start at 10 o'clock and try to
00:02:46.280
try to break the hard six yeah well steve first uh thanks for having me on and your uh your opener
00:02:54.580
actually stole some of my lines and i'll come back to that but what i was tweeting today that i think
00:02:59.420
you're referring to is that that basically this was a really important moment right this is one of the
00:03:04.380
most important political debates matt rosendale said on the floor the other night that in the last
00:03:09.220
three days he's participated in more meaningful discussion and constructive debate over the things
00:03:16.300
that affect millions of lives in those three days that he has in the last two years that in other words
00:03:23.080
congressmen are being forced to work and actually negotiate and do things uh and compromise
00:03:30.380
and come to an understanding and inform a consensus right where otherwise they just kind of phone it
00:03:35.000
in uh if you haven't seen that clip where rosendale is saying that if his constituents knew what really
00:03:39.840
happens in congress they'd be shocked and horrified that they think this is what happens every day it's
00:03:44.160
always this contentious debate it's not and i think that's that's part of the problem is we've been
00:03:49.120
encouraged to be so complacent um so this is an important moment needless to say and what i wrote today
00:03:56.980
on twitter was that in this really important moment trump who is you know still considered a sort of
00:04:02.760
like a kingmaker figure in the gop had a chance to chime in and put his thumb on the scale either on the
00:04:09.040
side of the 20 or the rebels whatever you want to call them uh to to basically put his thumb on the scale
00:04:15.340
for them or side with mccarthy and and put pressure on either side and he chose mccarthy i mean there's
00:04:22.380
just no other way to put it trump came in i think after mccarthy failed for the third time to get
00:04:28.520
enough votes and said basically you know okay that's enough time to wrap it up and vote for my
00:04:35.000
kevin and then lauren boebert um gave gave a a speech on the floor where she said that she claimed
00:04:41.860
that trump had actually called uh members of the 20 and told them to quote knock it off and to vote
00:04:47.080
for kevin and i think this is really important because again at this really pivotal moment
00:04:52.540
trump chose not to pressure mccarthy's critics or excuse me trump chose not to pressure mccarthy
00:04:58.960
he could still you know back mccarthy but pressure him to make these concessions that are meaningful
00:05:04.780
and binding to the 20 but instead he actually chose to pressure the 20 and i think that that is
00:05:10.960
really telling and a bad sign for the people who still you know look to him as a kind of anti-establishment
00:05:17.860
figure because trump just put his thumb on the scale for the establishment and going back to what
00:05:22.740
you opened with any meaningful concessions that actually come out of this you know if we actually
00:05:28.420
manage to strap mccarthy to the chair and have him sign uh enumerate concessions on an enchanted scroll
00:05:35.320
that's somehow connected to his soul so he can't you know lie his way out of it uh because i think
00:05:40.560
that's what it would take to get him to not lie his way out of something right if that happens it will
00:05:45.480
be despite immense pressure from pretty much all conservative media with the notable exception of
00:05:51.600
tucker carlson all the legacy gop and trump i mean these 20 really took a stand against everyone and again
00:06:00.620
whatever concessions they get it will be truly just of their own work and will
00:06:06.240
do you by the way we had talked about this a year year and a half ago do you think that president
00:06:13.980
trump if we if president trump had gotten focused do you think he could have actually been selected to
00:06:19.080
be uh speaker on monday night for some interim period of time if he'd been focused i have no idea but i but
00:06:26.000
i know that if trump would have squeezed mccarthy and and used you know the the the pulpit to bully him
00:06:33.120
uh to to to pressure mccarthy's allies or you know to use whatever leverage is still available to him
00:06:39.760
that could have made a a difference uh maybe it would have been able to get these concessions out
00:06:46.020
of mccarthy faster who i mean who knows what could have happened but i mean again imagine if the the
00:06:52.860
gop because again this is where it gets complicated right because we see the establishment well trump just
00:06:57.800
sided with the establishment uh on this important moment so the term establishment almost becomes
00:07:03.440
confusing at this point but you see what i'm saying um i don't know if he could have become speaker
00:07:09.500
but i know that it would have been very easy for him to basically just squeeze mccarthy and say comply
00:07:15.660
with the 20 are telling you to do uh or else you know i'm gonna i'm gonna pull my endorsement from
00:07:21.120
you and endorse a challenger and he didn't do that um what uh i want to go back also to the package if
00:07:31.060
if if you can pull it off and i hate the fact they're giving up their leverage but if you look
00:07:35.220
at this this is a historic package now part of it's to take away the imperial um speakership the
00:07:40.640
others that they just don't trust mccarthy the other they understand we have massive fights
00:07:44.400
on not just the southern border but really on the debt ceiling which is really our big piece of
00:07:48.660
leverage in in the appropriations bill the one that'll be done this this year would any of this
00:07:54.480
have gotten done unless we have gone through the last four or five days and still have much work to
00:08:00.120
do but would have they just coordinated mccarthy where would we be sir absolutely not no i again i think
00:08:08.280
people are really missing the moment if they're listening to guys like mark levin who scream about 1776
00:08:15.420
and the constitution the founding fathers and self-government but then the moment that you
00:08:20.160
know corrupt and abusive leadership is actually challenged they clutch their pearls and say you
00:08:24.360
you people are uh jihadists uh or whatever you know you're you're radicals or so you're insurrectionists
00:08:31.140
i think that's the the term that um killamid used on fox news right uh he it was a kind of a slip
00:08:37.300
where he actually immediately apologized for using the term but it was a slip nonetheless he referred to
00:08:41.960
them as insurrectionists i mean if these 20 had not taken that stand no we would not be in the
00:08:49.340
position where we are in right now where we're even talking about getting something meaningful out
00:08:54.960
of mccarthy and it's taken what i think there's been more than a dozen votes now right 13 we're going
00:08:59.640
13 something like that um for the record the longest and most contentious vote uh was in i think the
00:09:08.680
34th congress and it was 133 votes that lasted about two months so mccarthy could still have uh you know
00:09:16.920
a ways to go if we want to uh if we want to break that record but the point is or rather to your point
00:09:22.920
no absolutely not what the 20 did is incredibly admirable it was necessary and it is really shameful
00:09:30.320
that they did not have more support uh from from the mainstream conservative movement from you know
00:09:37.240
from mar-a-lago from you name it like they were really on their own but these moments are important
00:09:42.920
because they're also revealing you can pay attention to who said what and who took a stand
00:09:50.860
no in that unforgiving moment is what we call it uh and by the way knowing the 20 pretty well and
00:09:59.840
particularly the the hard the hard six uh they were approached by many dozens all the time to say
00:10:08.800
hey look i really want to come with you i admire what you're doing but i got a donor problem i got
00:10:13.320
this i got that uh and the fact that the conservative media was was all over them all the time uh did not
00:10:19.960
did not help at all as a populist nationalist and and and this being a a a a win we didn't take it
00:10:27.660
unless these guys continue to hold tight and now they're going to start playing games with the
00:10:31.600
denominator people should understand that not just the numerator the denominator so the game's going
00:10:36.740
to be starting to be played tonight that's where they're doing it in the middle of the night um
00:10:40.620
what um what is what is the what's the teaching moment for the populist nationalist movement what
00:10:46.620
should people that are really populist and nationalist uh and traditionalist what what should we take away
00:10:53.260
from this moment listen to all of um dan crenshaw's public mental breakdowns and and do the opposite
00:11:00.360
of what he's saying so you know he's he's saying that these guys are grandstanding they're sabotaging
00:11:05.120
the process actually and i you know this is this is kind of a leftist line uh that you so often hear
00:11:10.960
but this is actually what democracy looks like it's messy and it's painful and it requires contentious
00:11:16.820
debate it requires people taking a stand on principle which i know is something that's totally alien
00:11:22.520
to losers like dan crenshaw and all of these other grifters in the gop that immediately sided with
00:11:28.120
kevin mccarthy because that's the easy thing to do right um but i think that is really the takeaway
00:11:33.540
here is that 20 people uh among hundreds can actually make a huge difference i mean that is
00:11:39.920
really remarkable uh you you just don't see this that that often but it and again going back to
00:11:45.960
crenshaw because he's a great foil uh he said that this sets a dangerous precedent right this sets a
00:11:51.140
dangerous precedent that could be repeated in the future i hope it does i hope that this is actually
00:11:56.620
something that we continue to do in the future and we hone it and we become better at it but yes
00:12:03.620
but by the way this is why they won't put out the details about the debt ceiling and the
00:12:07.680
appropriations they understand it scott jenny's trying to do the misdirection plates about people
00:12:11.280
in montana are going to think that rosendale is holding up the investigations that's all crap
00:12:15.300
they know where he stands on investigation he's tough as boot leather and they know the
00:12:19.140
investigation is going to come a couple weeks because the mcconnell faction wants to take you
00:12:23.300
away from debt they want to take you away from money they want to take you away from spending
00:12:26.520
because that's what the oligarchs that's why mcconnell's on their payroll and that's why scott
00:12:31.360
jennings on mcconnell's payroll it's go after the shiny to rain going after the shiny tories we know
00:12:35.680
where the leverage is now even with that they won't even give the details what you do but that we
00:12:41.240
this year in 2023 and that's why i started off with a bang are going to have some massive just
00:12:46.320
simply massive debates on really whether it's the southern border invasion of the southern border
00:12:51.740
whether it's the debt ceiling was he's appropriations bills these if you think it was nasty has been so
00:12:56.700
nasty and personal to date and it got nastier behind the scenes you ain't see nothing ladies and gentlemen
00:13:02.380
if you're fighting for your country we didn't say it was going to be easy we didn't say it was going
00:13:05.660
to be pleasant and it didn't say it wasn't going to be painful and a painful week in a lot of
00:13:10.500
respects but this is what you have to do because the system's so corrupt uh pedro you've been doing
00:13:15.720
fantastic work uh you're brilliant and controversial i think is a great mix how do people track you down
00:13:21.380
on social media the easiest way to find me is on my sub stack at contra.substack.com uh you've got
00:13:28.740
my socials there uh and i also publish original writing and commentary along with roundups of my work
00:13:34.440
from all these other places that i that i publish with and i'm on social media from getter to wherever
00:13:39.940
else uh under the same handle at e-m-e-r-i-t-i-c-u-s but my sub stack uh is it's probably the easiest way
00:13:48.260
to keep up with me thank you for staying up tonight to do this and by the way all of your writing is
00:13:55.000
uh very important everybody should we put it up all the time everybody should read it uh in your social
00:13:59.240
media is incredible the twitter and thank you thank you sir appreciate it i got darren beady and i know
00:14:05.000
darren beady's got a lot to say i'm gonna get to him in one second because i also want to expand it
00:14:08.960
out not just about what's happened today but also uh the historical nature of this day and then i'm
00:14:14.300
i think we can play a clip on ashley babbitt's a mom so we're gonna get to all that i want to bring
00:14:18.480
in mark mitchell from rasmussen mark you've done i guess some flash poll tell us what the polling you've
00:14:23.180
done uh and what do you have how can you help inform this discussion about where we stand
00:14:28.100
on this historic weekend sir well i think people are mixed to ambivalent to quite frankly confused i
00:14:36.420
think we can look at what's happening in the congress and look at those 20 people standing
00:14:41.000
up against kevin mccarthy and say well they probably have good intentions there's objectively good things
00:14:47.480
that are happening from them standing up against the the rest of their party um but you know most
00:14:54.180
people don't really see it uh asking everybody should kevin mccarthy be speaker of the house
00:14:59.900
you know overall voters are mixed and confused and somewhat not sure but looking at republicans
00:15:05.680
48 of republicans say yes which is not a lot but only 29 say no and 23 are not sure i think part of
00:15:14.660
that is you look back at 2020 and trump assembled a huge voting base and i'll tell you what it wasn't
00:15:20.920
all maga it wasn't even all republican it was there were a lot of democrats and independents some people
00:15:26.760
that you know really enticed by his message in 2020 to some people that were just voting against biden
00:15:32.600
and he sort of lost his voice and i think a lot of those people left and what's left is a mix of
00:15:39.220
establishment and maga types and looking at kevin mccarthy's favorability numbers they're just kind of
00:15:45.560
mediocre he's got a 55 percent favorability among republicans you know that's 10 to 12 points less
00:15:52.960
than where pelosi sits with democrats and it just in general republicans aren't as happy with their
00:15:58.340
leaders as democrats are right now part of that is that but isn't that much isn't that much higher
00:16:04.260
isn't that much higher than mcconnell isn't mcconnell's among republicans incredibly low oh his numbers
00:16:10.420
are are horrifying so with mcconnell it's 34 among republicans mccarthy's 55 and trump is still at 76
00:16:19.140
i mean it's not the high 90s like he used to have uh he hasn't been out there racking up wins and i
00:16:25.560
think some of his maga base is probably confused about some of the stances he's taken absolutely
00:16:29.840
uh but what's interesting is that some of those people seem to be willing to to break with trump on
00:16:36.400
issues that they think are hot takes i think the 30 of republicans uh really probably good example
00:16:43.300
of that and i wish it had i wish i had asked him in the same question set but there's a 30 to 40
00:16:48.400
chunk of republicans that never got vaccinated either and of course trump famously supported the
00:16:54.560
vaccines and told everybody to get vaccinated as well so it's interesting that this sort of like
00:17:00.060
chunk of maga that still wildly supports trump then is potentially who's breaking with him here
00:17:06.820
to support these people um but yeah i mean mitch mcconnell are like not worth talking about in the
00:17:12.820
same ballpark as is kevin how how is do you believe that any of this is a trivial mccarthy at 48 which i
00:17:23.060
think people would say is very high i can tell you in the war room live chat or in my getter
00:17:28.120
feed it's 95 5 if that probably 98 too of course we're the hardest core of the probably the trump
00:17:36.500
movement but i noticed a lot of people are upset that president trump has supported him and actually
00:17:40.940
kind of whipped this because i i say trump would have been a much better speaker and if it gotten
00:17:47.340
organized earlier i think trump would have been picked on monday night do you believe any of that 48
00:17:52.600
percent are are people that are trump people and they look at president trump and trump is
00:17:58.480
as it basically oh yeah i think some people are believing and then yeah some people said all right
00:18:05.560
trump wants me to support this guy maybe something's going on behind the scenes sure uh kevin mccarthy
00:18:11.620
hasn't given republicans a ton of reasons to vote against him his unfavorability numbers aren't that high i mean
00:18:17.920
he has a 17 unsure among republicans uh his very unfavorable among republicans is only 10 percent
00:18:24.300
um so you see you hear matt gates say a lot of really strong worded things about kevin mccarthy
00:18:30.200
republicans don't necessarily see it that way uh i think that like yeah pure mega sees that there's
00:18:37.680
good things going on the rest everybody's just kind of confused about this and i think really the optics
00:18:42.740
might sort of blow back we have a question out set out in the field that unfortunately we're not
00:18:48.080
going to get back till next tuesday um but we're asking people how serious of a problem is this delay
00:18:54.360
in in the house getting off the ground and the number is going to be high it's going to be 60 70
00:18:58.580
i saw the first night's results and then we asked voters who's more to blame kevin mccarthy or the
00:19:04.520
republicans standing up to him and i'm pretty sure the numbers for republicans are going to come back
00:19:08.740
mostly split to probably leaning more towards a republican standing up to him so it's more of
00:19:15.060
this there really doesn't seem to be a lot of unity or leadership on the republican side right now
00:19:22.720
um it's it's trump seems to be making calls that are you know some part of his backers sort of
00:19:30.100
question um republican leadership we have mitch mcconnell that's basically voldemort to republicans
00:19:36.040
and then on the you know kevin mccarthy he's not really well known i mean king jeffries is going
00:19:42.540
to come into office and probably have the 20 point higher favorability than kevin mccarthy
00:19:47.260
uh you know among democrats because we asked pelosi two weeks after she lost congress and
00:19:53.660
favorability for her among democrats was 65 percent so like not super high but 10 to 11 points higher
00:19:59.400
than mccarthy is now and we asked the same set is hakeem jeffries going to be a better or worse
00:20:04.720
speaker than pelosi and you know the democrats were all for that guy um so they look at their
00:20:10.380
leadership in dc and they generally see you know harmony if you if you if you asked questions or
00:20:20.220
you've been your previous polling about draining the swamp or that washington's dysfunctional
00:20:25.220
right and and it that rates very highly among republican voters i assume the phrase drain the swamp and
00:20:31.920
you know take care of the lobbyists all that that people understand there's a problem with the
00:20:36.400
dysfunction i'm gonna have to hit our archives for that one steve i you're keep you keep assigning
00:20:41.960
me homework i actually did my homework on the debt we uh we ran a set of that and we're gonna be
00:20:47.300
releasing the numbers next week uh i mean oh we gotta we gotta have we gotta have you on the debt day
00:20:53.280
we have to have you on the debt day that's my baby but no because do they understand that this week
00:20:58.380
was about the process and it's complicated and particularly if you're not dedicated like the
00:21:03.140
war room audience is obviously at a much higher level because people are attracted to these type
00:21:07.400
of issues and will do the homework that you have to do so they understand it does a general republican
00:21:12.800
voter make the connection between when you say drain the swamp or go after the administrative state or take
00:21:20.420
care of this bureaucracy that's out of control connect that to the speeches they heard in this you know
00:21:25.840
from the matt rosendales and and the ability of those 20 and really the capability of those 20 to
00:21:31.700
go after this because this week if if everything happens that they promise is going to happen it would
00:21:37.540
be simply nothing short of historic right if the deals get done and they get executed that's a big if
00:21:43.940
i see why it could be perceived as a swamp draining uh event but i think that this is a really super
00:21:51.700
important thing to do a case study on next week about exactly why republicans in general don't
00:21:57.600
perceive it to be that way because i think the numbers on tuesday are going to show that it wasn't
00:22:01.740
perceived to be that way i think you're going to see a high majority of republicans say that it was a
00:22:06.960
serious problem that the congress didn't get off and running and i think you're going to see a
00:22:11.920
potentially a low majority of republicans blaming uh the people standing up against kevin mccarthy
00:22:18.680
because once again you know trump supported mccarthy um but there will be a a pretty sizable
00:22:24.580
30 to 40 percent of republicans to say it's mccarthy's fault um but i i think part of it is
00:22:31.020
you know there's a really big and unified pundit class still on the republican side that is not happy
00:22:39.840
that this is going on and i think that that reaches a lot of people a lot more than probably the trump
00:22:46.200
can't fix no doubt mark how do they get to you on social media the youtube channel everything you've
00:22:53.580
got you've got other polling coming out we'll have you up next week particularly the debt in the uh and
00:22:58.060
your follow-up the final print on uh on uh who's to blame for this or who's to take uh who's to take
00:23:04.340
credit for it where do people go uh yeah absolutely love to have more subscribers on youtube uh the videos
00:23:10.560
have really been taken off once again we had thank you again for having us on for that died suddenly pull
00:23:15.800
that thing circled the earth a couple times i think millions of people have probably seen that
00:23:19.860
headline and that was a super important message 73 million americans say they know somebody that
00:23:24.800
personally they think died from the vaccine and also to tease you a little bit on the debt one we have
00:23:30.300
a strong majority of americans agreeing with donald trump that the omnibus bill is a monstrosity
00:23:36.320
so that's going to be fun wow now if we could only connect that the the omnibus bill to what happened
00:23:43.840
this week is you want to stop that if it's a monstrosity you got to back the guys that are
00:23:48.820
sitting there trying to do it that's the issue that's what we got to do in the media that's our
00:23:52.160
responsibility but that's our that's our homework assignment uh mark mitchell you're fantastic we
00:23:56.860
love rasmus you do great polling thank you very much sir appreciate you taking time away on a friday
00:24:00.620
to join us oh my pleasure have a good night thanks so i got darren beady from revolver and i got the
00:24:08.160
ashley but i'm gonna play it on the other side give me your response to what's happened today
00:24:13.380
and then hearing what uh mark mitchell at rasmussen said listening to pedro gonzalez which you have
00:24:19.640
enormous respect for and i know he does for you and revolver give us give us your assessment sir
00:24:24.060
well i mean it's really hard to know what to say yet i mean i'm a big fan of the idea of
00:24:34.020
trump being speaker i think that's really maybe one of the only meaningful resolutions the whole
00:24:41.260
thing of course apart from that my chief interest in the outcome here is i want whatever resolution
00:24:48.920
is more likely to implement my subpoena wish list in relation to our denuary 6 reporting i want to get
00:24:57.200
to the bottom of this i want to give the fbi and doj more headaches and very simply very simply i want
00:25:05.580
the full chain of custody of those dnc pipe bomber surveillance tapes and the full and unedited footage
00:25:12.460
so for that's really my my chief interest in this from a sort of practical standpoint what's going to
00:25:20.240
help us get to the bottom of january 6th but from a broader standpoint i really do think you know
00:25:27.200
this is in a way it's given us the little taste of how boring and uninspiring gop politics will be
00:25:36.400
in a post-trump era you know trump is still going to be around and i think he has great shot for 2024
00:25:41.800
but he's not forever and it's just kind of a nightmare to think of you know marshalling some grand
00:25:50.060
battle to determine whether you know kevin mccarthy or somebody like steve scalise is you know the
00:25:56.920
speaker of the house trump is the only thing that would actually make it fun and interesting and real
00:26:04.360
and it would be great for him too because you know i mentioned i keep mentioning i did this amazing
00:26:09.480
interview with him and i'll be honest part of the interview i was kind of poking him a little bit to
00:26:14.440
go back on twitter not because i love twitter so much but because there's this media blackout
00:26:19.880
that it seems like so many of the corporate regime media has sort of agreed we're just going to shut
00:26:25.220
him out if he's not going to go up back on twitter which is sort of the battlefield the public square
00:26:31.080
battlefield speaker of the house is a great way to circumvent that media blackout in an original and
00:26:38.080
truly historical fashion so i think it's just a brilliant idea i understand it's a long shot but it's
00:26:45.140
the only thing that can actually get me excited at this point hang on for a second darren beattie
00:26:52.220

00:30:06.300
back for the next round i think it's around 14 um want to bring in uh a congressman elect
00:30:12.680
anna polina luna uh who's been a big hero of this and i think people want to know because you had
00:30:19.120
daniel horowitz you've got um other really smart dc drano other really smart people saying hey this
00:30:25.240
historic package you know what has been accomplished here by your group right the the freedom caucus or
00:30:32.060
the scott perry group the ones that signed that letter has been nothing short of historic but it's kind
00:30:36.700
of confusing number one what's actually in it why is it historic historic and then the the other
00:30:42.060
question is people are afraid that hey maybe you guys jumped the gun because you don't really have
00:30:46.360
a solid deal and they're they're completely um i want to say freaked out that kevin mccarthy
00:30:52.100
and the cartel could with all your good intentions bait and switch you guys and you end up with
00:30:57.260
nothing congressman anna congressman elect anna polina luna can you explain that to our audience
00:31:03.540
absolutely and thank you so much for having me back on so i want to say something this what what is
00:31:10.300
being negotiated currently and hopefully what we'll be able to bring to closure this evening is something
00:31:16.140
that when we stepped back and looked at it we realized that this will bring the institutional change
00:31:22.960
to fix a broken system i know a lot of people are disenfranchised with one not only politicians
00:31:28.660
but also the way that congress has been run and to be clear these negotiations and talks didn't just
00:31:35.420
start on january 2nd they started months ago in fact they were in the works from what i gathered even
00:31:41.220
before i got here starting in the summer and then leading into the fall november time frame there you
00:31:47.620
know there was a group of us that met and realized okay how do we fix this we have a speaker's
00:31:51.800
election's coming up but but we really do need to have a part of the conversation and one of the
00:31:57.540
main things was the jeffersonian motion to vacate the chair and what that means is this allows a single
00:32:02.820
person to make the motion to remove the speaker of the house if they go back on their word to the
00:32:07.980
american people and the policy agenda that's been set forth by congress and or in general doing
00:32:13.740
something unconstitutional this for me was incredibly important one not only did it withstand 200 years
00:32:20.200
until nancy pelosi but it is something that allows the representatives to hold the speaker of the
00:32:25.820
house accountable but also too it decentralizes power and that is the difference between how we
00:32:31.400
are going to run the 118th congress and what's going on currently in senate with consolidation of
00:32:36.460
power with mitch mcconnell and the second thing that is in this negotiation currently is a church style
00:32:42.220
committee which allows us to look into the weaponization of three-letter organizations like the fbi
00:32:47.200
against the american people we all know that the sbi has been doing incredibly unethical things
00:32:53.600
and that is going to be something that not only are we going to set up but it's also going to be
00:32:59.200
run by a freedom caucus member that's incredibly important because we are the conservative faction
00:33:04.520
of congress as you saw during this entire process although we were talking and debating and negotiating
00:33:10.940
there were some people that wanted to go and call us terrorists and insurrectionists because we were
00:33:17.900
doing exactly what the american people elected us to do and that's debate these issues and have these
00:33:22.760
conversations because what has happened over the last couple of decades is truly breaking this country
00:33:28.240
i can tell you that every single person all 20 of these people to include the people that are still
00:33:34.840
holding votes right now has been actively a part of accomplishing this incredible i believe once in
00:33:42.460
a lifetime rules package and change that will change the foundation of congress and be around way after
00:33:49.100
we are gone which is exactly why we decided to vote and move in the way that we did it will bring a vote
00:33:55.400
to congressional term limits it will have single subject bills it's called single subject germaneness meaning
00:34:01.180
that you can't have a bill brought to the floor that's loaded with a bunch of nonsense that you
00:34:06.420
know contributes not only to unethical spending but also too they can't put any more you know
00:34:11.580
unconstitutional lines in some of these bills if it's not related to the actual bill
00:34:15.500
as the texas border plan a budget that stops the increase um and actually i think limits some of
00:34:23.700
these increases by about 132 billion dollars and also stops the increase in the debt ceiling and so
00:34:29.700
thomas massey this evening has gone on to tucker carlson and he's actually going to go through some
00:34:34.700
of the financials in it because this is probably a more aggressive approach to really streamline some
00:34:40.920
of this uh fraud waste and abuse that we're seeing coming out of the federal government
00:34:44.080
and ending all covid mandates and funding and then also to a 72 hour rule to actually read the bills but
00:34:52.040
this is only some of the highlights this is about three and a half pages it's on paper you guys will all
00:34:58.060
be able to see that but to be clear our votes are yes currently but that is in good faith that this
00:35:06.960
negotiation will be brought to completion um with absolutely understanding that those that chose to
00:35:15.200
stand up and bring this discussion to the floor in front of the american people that those people would
00:35:22.120
be not disrespected or retaliated against because we are doing the people's work there's a lot in this
00:35:29.080
that i actually had a private conversation with representative massey and he goes look i was a part
00:35:34.900
of basically taking down uh banner right and he's like but it did nothing what we needed to do was change
00:35:42.720
the institution the way that it functions to decentralize power and i do believe that if my 20 brothers and
00:35:49.500
sisters did not have the courage to withstand the nasty barrage of attack that what happened over the last
00:35:56.640
three days in order to accomplish this we wouldn't have accomplished anything and those people are absolute
00:36:02.420
patriots but i want to be clear about something the media this entire time has been attempting to paint us
00:36:08.340
as wrong for having these conversations the american people deserve these conversations they deserve the debate
00:36:14.760
they deserve to see it and so if we were the congress to do it then so be it but we are very excited about
00:36:20.600
this i know representative chip roy representative byron donalds representative thomas massey scott perry
00:36:27.480
even uh matt gates was instrumental in a lot of these ideas i mean so many people have been a part of this
00:36:34.840
and it's really to fix a broken system so to be clear it is on paper you will all see it um we are
00:36:41.320
you know we have we have some trust issues too but the reason why some of us chose to step forward
00:36:46.720
and say okay right now during the negotiation process we will switch our vote is because this
00:36:51.660
is underway and in securing this it's not for us it's on behalf of the american people and to change
00:36:57.560
the institution and it will outlast all of us okay real quickly this package historic in its nature for
00:37:05.380
the spending for the rules package for the investigations those three big buckets and you got the texas plan
00:37:10.360
and other things would because the incoming you've taken is is not as bad it's bad from the msnbc and
00:37:17.940
cnn but let's be brutally frank conservative media outside of a few tucker the war room and a couple of
00:37:23.680
other outlets and websites you've been taking it there would this ever have happened ma'am if you 20
00:37:31.500
had not dug in and fought like hell over the last four or five days to get it no it wouldn't have
00:37:38.760
and to be clear um you know we were at this was not a fun process nor should it be right because
00:37:46.580
if you want true change no one's ever going to just give it to you but it's important to note that
00:37:53.140
the 20 of us stood together and you know we will continue to make sure that whatever happens tonight
00:38:01.080
regardless that these people are our friends we trust them they're our colleagues they're ideologically
00:38:07.740
aligned with us and so no matter what we're still going to be providing cover for our friends even
00:38:13.320
those that might not agree with this but we will be there and we have their backs
00:38:17.820
last question you said it's yes for now tonight they're coming and they're saying they may change
00:38:24.880
the denominator things may happen to actually get this done they're actually announcing if they do
00:38:29.160
move the speaker vote and it's successful for mccarthy they're going to swear people in immediately
00:38:34.280
they don't care what time of night if it's in the middle of the night and they're going to move the
00:38:37.600
rules package i'm just quoting what's up on twitter now from certain news forces when you say yes for
00:38:43.280
now do you are you going to get this finally accomplished before all that happens or will this be a
00:38:49.480
process that goes on after uh any next the next vote for speaker and the and the subsequent votes for
00:38:56.600
speaker this will be solidified prior it's on paper um this will be done prior to that so that we have
00:39:03.280
an understanding but also to remember a single motion uh to vacate the chair of the jeffersonian
00:39:08.800
motion that's incredibly important and that has been publicly acknowledged and embraced the conference
00:39:14.400
um in regards to being able to vote on these rules i mean these are all things that are accountability
00:39:19.640
tools to the representative so that we uh basically have true true voices in this body you know one of
00:39:28.420
the most alarming things that i found when i got to congress is that i couldn't just bring a bill to the
00:39:33.940
floor i had to go to the rules committee right the rules committee determines every single piece of
00:39:38.840
legislation that hits the house floor and yet on this committee there wasn't fair representation for
00:39:44.280
conservative members of congress members of congress that might think that you know the red flag laws
00:39:49.880
are unconstitutional that voice wasn't there and so when we're wondering why you know when president
00:39:55.520
trump had the house the senate and the executive branch in 2016 why his policy agendas likely were
00:40:01.440
being blocked in congress it was because of committees like this and so to go a little bit into it further
00:40:07.620
um the request was to have fair representation on these committees to have that voice there and present
00:40:14.460
to ensure that our constitution is being protected and with this rules package it's actually doing
00:40:21.160
just that and so you will all be able to see that i know representative chip roy is work uh still working
00:40:28.000
on finalizing final details but please ensure that we are not going to move forward with anything until
00:40:35.060
this is finalized this is in good faith and ultimately i just want everyone can you can you
00:40:41.360
have can can can you have good faith when obviously you don't trust the cartel the entire time you went
00:40:49.180
took all this income and you said hey i have to we have to have all these rules packages that not
00:40:53.880
simply has more conservative representation but opens up a process in one regard plus takes down
00:41:00.540
the imperial speakership i mean kevin mccarthy he's going to start getting lit up not
00:41:04.900
by his other members but by the media that he gave up too much you guys you clearly don't trust him
00:41:10.920
and you don't trust the leadership of the cartel but you still trust it that even in writing tonight
00:41:16.520
that it will be executed and implemented you're prepared to stand by that to your constituents which
00:41:21.180
we know you you won the old-fashioned way going door to door yes and i can tell you that i'm not the
00:41:28.040
only one there are some other staunchly conservative members like representative gosar
00:41:32.340
that are standing with us on that and there's other members too that i think you know are
00:41:38.900
potentially still voting no but i think the other members that are currently no votes once they see
00:41:44.680
this once they see that solidified and ultimately that there are the fail safes in place they might
00:41:50.320
consider switching their votes but to be clear i just want to clarify something the media immediately
00:41:55.080
started circulating that there was a potential chance that there'd be a democrat you know if we
00:41:59.360
didn't if we didn't stop and accept this without making these crazy quote-unquote uh requests that
00:42:05.240
a democrat would take control of the gavel not simply not true and i really think that the leftist
00:42:11.100
media tried to destroy our even our conservative base by working at pitting us against each other
00:42:16.600
and to be expected but just please understand that i'm happy to say just by looking at this and i'm
00:42:22.500
sure as some of you tune into tucker carlson tonight with representative massey that when you hear what he has
00:42:28.700
to say that this is going to you know be one of those things that once put in place it's going
00:42:33.040
to outlive us all and when i you know i'm no longer in dc that at least we were able to decentralize
00:42:39.620
and hopefully get the truth out to the american people that church style committee is going to look
00:42:44.280
into january 6th it's going to look into the weaponization of the sbi against the american people
00:42:49.680
it's going to be looking into the weaponization of the doj and these agencies that we are funding that
00:42:55.720
are that are breaking laws and that needs to happen and so you know uh i just it's been an intense
00:43:03.380
definitely three days we're still here we will likely be voting way into the evening but this has
00:43:09.100
been really something that we all worked on blood sweat tears and when i say we all i mean every single
00:43:13.720
20 of us so congressman uh elect anna polina luna uh how do people follow you on social media how
00:43:21.720
they get to your website i have an official page now set up it's um at rep luna my personal is at
00:43:29.640
real anna polina uh thank you very much for taking time away to join us and we will make sure everybody
00:43:36.820
watches tucker tonight to see tom massey so thank you thank you uh darren beady that the group that's
00:43:46.460
negotiated this and is going to execute on they're taking some incoming give me your sense you've been
00:43:51.000
you've been one of the driving focuses on on particularly these investigations and you know
00:43:55.360
tom massey as well as anybody um you've got uh you you're going to get the weaponization of government
00:44:00.900
they've already said is going to include j6 to get to the bottom of it give us your sense we got you
00:44:05.920
know three or four minutes i want to just have your sense of where we are tonight because we're all going
00:44:09.580
to watch tucker but this is going to be quite contentious trust me over the next couple of days
00:44:14.220
right well it all depends on what the actual detail details are and how it's implemented i don't have
00:44:22.100
special visibility visibility into that i do you know trust and admire a lot of the people involved
00:44:29.600
in the negotiations here but ultimately i think it remains to be seen what we're gonna what we're
00:44:35.780
gonna get out of it i do appreciate that getting to the bottom of january 6 among other abuses of the
00:44:42.600
government and intel agencies is considered to be one of the top priorities um uh part of this
00:44:49.360
negotiation but i think it's you know it's too early to tell and they just need to stick with it
00:44:58.480
you know um we took down canner in 14 with dave bratt in a primary first time that ever happened in
00:45:07.520
the history of the republic uh in a primary for a sitting majority leader took a boehner boehner was
00:45:12.720
taken out by mark meadows and the motion to vacate and the team at breitbart and others
00:45:16.660
that teamed up to take out boehner with the motion to vacate in i think in 15 uh ryan basically threw
00:45:23.600
in the towel in 18 essentially after screwing president trump when he had we had all we had
00:45:28.740
every branch of government uh and now mccarthy was the last mccarthy was sitting there and this could
00:45:34.880
all have come together i want to make sure people understand the difficult when you say taking on
00:45:39.620
the swamp that's what i think is too cute to term this is nasty work it's hard work because there's
00:45:44.820
so much money and so much power and they're not going to be dug out of here easily do you think
00:45:50.020
if this is not pulled off tonight we have lost a even with the motion to vacate and all the
00:45:54.920
controls around here that we've lost a unique opportunity to really take out take a big part of
00:46:01.740
cartel out like rust vote said once you remove mccarthy then you can negotiate with who's
00:46:06.880
remaining but you got to take out the cartel head the the last of the canter boehner ryan kind of line
00:46:13.940
of royalty sir well again i think it remains to be seen i don't have much faith in mccarthy um but
00:46:22.180
you know he's one of these people who you know sometimes we lament the fact that these people are
00:46:28.420
totally unprincipled and malleable but as supremely vacuous in the literal sense vacuous i don't not
00:46:35.940
really referring to his cognition but is just the space of the mind and the spirit that actually
00:46:42.240
where convictions live that's completely vacant for someone like mccarthy which it's better someone
00:46:50.020
like that is better than someone who's convicted in the wrong direction problem with someone like
00:46:54.780
mccarthy is the only way he would do anything good is that if he's bullied he has we have to be able
00:47:01.000
to bully him more than the establishment and the donors and the special interests can entice him
00:47:06.960
and threaten him it's just a matter of who's giving him the stronger enticement who's bullying him harder
00:47:12.820
and that's the direction he'll go so i'd like to think that we have the leverage to do that it remains
00:47:19.100
to be seen but if we don't fixate on this church style committee which by the way trump is explicitly
00:47:25.360
endorsed i don't know if you know that he endorsed it in our in our interview so we've got everyone
00:47:31.320
on board with this church style committee and i really hope that the people engaging in these
00:47:37.520
negotiations take it seriously understand the stakes involved because unless we address this problem
00:47:43.480
of the rogue intel agencies we're gonna you know mccarthy is the least of our problems talk about
00:47:50.020
fake and performative everything is effectively going to be mccarthy unless we get the national
00:47:56.220
security state under control real quickly uh and by the way we're going to get to the ashley babbitt
00:48:03.040
