00:00:00.000 It's just an odd story. As you know, I worked for Trump for three years. I mean, it's just a very odd story.
00:00:06.400 Nobody wants to mention his accomplishments, his achievements, how well he managed the economy, how well he managed energy independence and foreign policy.
00:00:14.980 They're all throwing that out the window. And OK, Pennsylvania was not the best moment. I get that.
00:00:21.200 Trump himself gets that. But I'm just saying, why all of a sudden is everyone pounding the poor guy to death?
00:00:27.300 I mean, he did a lot of good things for this country.
00:00:30.000 I'll tell you why they're doing it, because he's probably going to announce he's running and some people don't want him to.
00:00:35.040 But I don't think that's going to stop him.
00:00:37.100 He did amazing things for this country.
00:00:39.040 His America first policies had every group of citizens doing better.
00:00:43.960 Didn't matter what your skin color was.
00:00:45.440 Didn't matter what your zip code was.
00:00:47.300 We were riding high under President Trump.
00:00:49.640 The country was in better shape.
00:00:51.080 He ended wars.
00:00:52.280 He didn't start any wars.
00:00:53.960 He had brought peace to the Middle East.
00:00:56.880 Our 401ks were looking pretty good.
00:00:59.360 And if you look at your retirement savings right now, I talked to many retirees who said, Carrie, I just retired.
00:01:05.480 I might have to go back to work. My retirement savings has shriveled up.
00:01:09.000 It's dried up under Joe Biden. And we need somebody to get us out of the jam.
00:01:14.140 We're in. President Trump did it once before. I think he would be a great candidate.
00:01:18.000 We'll see what happens in 24. Who knows?
00:01:20.680 But all I know is we need a solid person to take the place of Joe Biden because we can't handle much more of that guy.
00:01:27.800 Anyway, Carrie Lake, thank you for coming on. Good luck in the next couple of days.
00:01:32.080 You're going to make it. I know you will. I have nothing but confidence. I hope Blake Masters comes with you.
00:01:36.060 Anyway, thanks much. When we look at the mission and as a Marine, we're looking at the mission and, you know,
00:01:41.500 the voters have spoken and they have said that they want a different leader and a true leader understands when they have become a liability.
00:01:52.100 A true leader understands that it's time to step off the stage.
00:01:56.940 And the voters have given us that very clear message.
00:02:00.500 So does that imply within the Republican Party, Lieutenant Governor, to Donald Trump that it's time to step off the stage?
00:02:09.520 Yes, a house divided against itself cannot stand.
00:02:13.640 And and indeed, that's where we are today.
00:02:16.120 And as I said before, America is the prize.
00:02:19.060 Why do we want to win elections?
00:02:21.200 It's because we've got to learn to love to love each other, live together, govern together.
00:02:28.040 And the voters are saying enough is enough.
00:02:31.540 So if the party wants to move on or some of the parties such as yourself, Lieutenant Governor, maybe Governor Youngkin feels the same way.
00:02:39.420 But Donald Trump still makes a speech next week that he wants to run for president.
00:02:44.540 But would you think about that?
00:02:48.320 I could not support him.
00:02:50.000 I just couldn't, because we have seen, for example, in those states where he has endorsed the candidates, in fact, Republicans on the same ticket who he did not endorse, overperformed, whereas his candidates totally underperformed by as much as 10 points.
00:03:11.440 We have a clear mission, and it is time to move on.
00:03:16.220 Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears, thank you.
00:03:18.620 We know you have a very press schedule, so we appreciate your taking the time.
00:03:22.580 Well, I think if Trump didn't win in 2024, that would that would hurt the Democratic prospects or hurt Republican prospects and help help Democrats.
00:03:30.740 But you're quite right, Katie, that the Republican Party is a magnified party.
00:03:35.880 It's a Trumpified party. And that even if Trump were not to run for whatever variety of reasons that may go into that decision, the Republican Party itself is radicalized.
00:03:47.900 And there's it's almost impossible to overstate how much that that is is is the case.
00:03:56.840 You know, DeSantis is on paper a good candidate.
00:03:59.700 And there's no question that there's been some erosion in Trump's support.
00:04:03.520 But he started at a very, very high mark.
00:04:06.360 And these MAGA voters are not like traditional Republican or Democratic voters.
00:04:10.440 There's almost no loyalty to the institution, political institution, whether it's the Democratic or Republican Party.
00:04:18.420 They got into the politics because of Donald Trump and they would they would follow him to the to the ends of the earth.
00:04:25.700 And the last thing I'll say is DeSantis, as I think David Jolly had referred to, he may not be as impressive in reality as he is on paper.
00:04:34.620 I mean, very few people have seen DeSantis for for any length of time.
00:04:39.380 and when trump unleashes his blowtorch we'll see how he holds up
00:04:43.360 wow okay uh it is friday 11 november in the year of our lord 2022
00:04:50.580 the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month the guns fell silent that was in um the first
00:04:58.320 world war so we always honor armistice day here and of course veterans day in the united states
00:05:04.200 of america we normally have special shows in this day but uh i think all of our veterans
00:05:09.400 would want us to be on point today because there is so much going on in this convergence of uh of
00:05:15.860 power and politics and money and uh and voting and closing deals closing the vote etc
00:05:22.500 associated press has reported they're not going to even call not even thinking of calling the house
00:05:28.640 although people are pretty comfortable with the numbers 222 to 227 somewhere in the range
00:05:33.260 they're not even thinking of calling the house until next tuesday but they have said that it
00:05:39.440 may go longer because california could take weeks to sort out uh president trump will announce uh
00:05:45.400 his third run for the presidency the three-peat as steve cortez calls it next tuesday uh as
00:05:52.540 importantly you're going to have these leadership fights kevin mccarthy uh and what happens to the
00:05:57.180 speaker of the house you get the rnc there is power politics and knife fighting like you've
00:06:02.280 never seen before i've been around a few political knife fights i've never seen anything like this
00:06:05.880 uh it's going to be intense so uh we're going to schedule we've got uh governor sarah palin may
00:06:12.340 drop in uh if if she can in the next two hours uh we're going to have a lot of different we're
00:06:17.940 going to go to arizona going to nat nevada bad news in nevada i think the dmv i think they're
00:06:22.980 generating votes out there we're going to get a active a field report from there and of course
00:06:27.520 arizona um but i want to start with russ vote by the way and also just remember nancy pelosi and
00:06:35.220 john carrey over in cop 27 i do not we have not had enough time to get into this story but uh cop
00:06:41.260 27 they're over there right now actually engaging in conversations uh which should never happen
00:06:47.120 because it's ludicrous on the face of it that the whole thing's ludicrous but i mean this is really
00:06:51.860 this is what the the thing itself is it is a massive cash transfer from the united states
00:06:58.800 of america the third world dictators okay they're talking about reparations for climate change
00:07:03.160 you have to understand too the global south is given given given the judeo-christian west and
00:07:10.600 particularly western europe and the united states a full flex as you saw by the opec plus and you're
00:07:16.560 gonna say now that lula looks like he's going to be in charge of brazil the military came up with
00:07:20.620 a report that did not that said hey we can't really say if there's fraud or not in this election
00:07:25.400 right it was a kind of a gentle report but they left it open that we don't know if it's fraud or 0.98
00:07:29.160 not they're still in the streets in brazil the global south but let's assume lula and the ccp 0.61
00:07:33.800 take charge there with macronin the globalist and the amazon uh the global south has given a full
00:07:39.800 flex of things called resources versus this weird paper you give us called federal reserve notes or
00:07:45.700 british pounds right so we can get into all of it the the and also we got the lame duck coming up
00:07:50.740 nancy pelosi just put out the order that the that covid the ccp covid 19 voting up until christmas
00:07:57.820 day they can vote remote because you know half of them are have already left to go get other jobs
00:08:01.700 uh and this is the the orgy that's going to start on the lame duck is going to be insane and of
00:08:06.780 course a lot of that's going to revolve around this insane appropriations bill it's going to
00:08:11.600 have another two trillion dollar deficit and of course the debt ceiling all of it's going to be
00:08:15.840 crazy plus setting up for what happens when they fire the football on the 3rd of january so
00:08:19.940 the next six weeks are going to be and with president on top of that with with the senate
00:08:26.180 races in arizona and georgia still to be decided and they're going to be nail biters of what's
00:08:30.420 going on behind closed doors the georgia situation are going to drop a billion dollars in georgia
00:08:35.200 for the herschel walker seat um we're not here to entertain we're not here to get into the high
00:08:40.100 school you know uh he said this they said that she said this about uh de santis and trump we're
00:08:47.220 here to talk about what's important that's going to be part of it because president trump is going
00:08:51.100 to go full beast mode next tuesday trust me so um a lot going on and we're going to get you all the
00:08:57.240 details all the information that you need uh in the center of it all i want to bring i got russ
00:09:02.100 vote and steve cortez to start off i do want to focus on and particularly russ vote one thing
00:09:07.540 I've admired about you, Russ ran OMB and OMB has got like 9,000 people. It's the most powerful
00:09:12.360 job outside of chief of staff and the government underneath the president, because you can walk
00:09:16.740 into Russ vote and say, Hey, I want to know about this, you know, this $5 trillion spending. I got
00:09:21.420 this thing. I want to know specifically what's being spent on railroad things in Iowa. And 30
00:09:26.440 minutes later, Russ is coming back to the full analysis. They have people that just are all over
00:09:30.280 it, but Russ doesn't really step into the world of, of just elective politics or what's going on
00:09:35.980 very rarely so when i tell people when russ vote speaks it's like a papal bull you should pay
00:09:41.120 attention and russ join us right now you came out yesterday it was like a how many the thread had
00:09:46.800 how many how many units to it it was pretty long i go wow that brother is just gone off and you
00:09:53.660 made the case you made the intellectual and practical political case about why kevin mccarthy
00:09:59.080 can't be speaker of the house and so walk us through if we can put it up uh denver in my team
00:10:04.540 here. First off, Russ, what inspired you to do this? This is not like a Russ vote move.
00:10:09.680 Why did you do that? Well, because it's an important position. And, you know, we talk on
00:10:15.060 these programs all the time, Steve, about how we have to capitalize on the appropriations. We have
00:10:20.060 to capitalize on the debt limit. I've been a staffer in leadership, and I just know that
00:10:24.900 there's no one in the current team that thinks on a paradigm shattering level, the way we do on this
00:10:31.160 program the way that Donald Trump does. And so, you know, we have an opportunity. The election
00:10:36.480 didn't go as far as we would have liked to, but now that changed. And now we're talking about a
00:10:41.260 very, very small minority that can deny him the speakership. And we have an opportunity as a
00:10:46.980 result of that to get a paradigm shattering speaker and the country needs it. We can't go
00:10:53.060 on. So that's the political case for why this is. We can't have a peacetime speaker. We need a
00:10:58.200 wartime speaker that can seize confrontation and risk by the throat in order to go against
00:11:06.120 their adversaries and to be able to deal with the woke and weaponized government that we are
00:11:10.680 all suffering from. That has to happen. And so if you look at the fundamentals then, okay,
00:11:15.660 can we win this? Is this doable? It is very doable because the mechanics of this is a cartel
00:11:21.880 shattering vote. So the members can talk this morning and all that about, well, he's done this
00:11:27.320 or that. But on January, they have to go to the floor. It's not behind closed doors. And they
00:11:32.560 have to go and they have to say, yeah, I'm for Kevin McCarthy. And the way this works is that
00:11:37.000 those words have to come out of their mouth on the floor. They stand up on the floor and they say
00:11:41.900 that. And then they have to go back and they have to explain it. And you might have been able to
00:11:46.560 explain that if he had been conciliatory and they had had this big election that was successful.
00:11:51.700 that doesn't exist. And so this is like going back and explaining that you are for
00:11:57.320 funding Planned Parenthood or against the Second Amendment. You don't have the ability to win your
00:12:03.200 constituents over to that narrative on a cartel busting vote. And that's what we're going to see
00:12:08.820 in January. And so in some respects, next week is not irrelevant, but it is not decisive when they
00:12:15.440 vote. They'll have the cartel vote behind closed doors next week. But this is about building to
00:12:20.680 January, and the fundamentals are there. And I'm looking at the fundamentals allow us to be able,
00:12:26.680 cause him, he is in deep trouble, and we have an opportunity to have a paradigm shattering
00:12:31.240 victory over the speakership to be either get Jim Jordan in as speaker, I don't care if he's
00:12:37.120 not running right now, or to have a coalitional style government where every decision goes through
00:12:42.240 HFC. So think about Likud or some, you know, Christian Democrats in Germany, they have to
00:12:49.180 get other coalitions as part. That's the kind of thing that we can be able to move towards in this
00:12:54.680 so that under any circumstances, either we get our guy or we don't get our guy, we have conservatives
00:13:00.900 in power to force the fights with the adversaries that is necessary. I want to just go back. We got
00:13:07.080 about a minute and a half and I want to just keep you a few minutes on the other side about the
00:13:10.720 cartel, about why next week the leadership vote is not all. Look, AP, Associated Press, not even
00:13:16.180 going to call it. So he's not even going to know really what, um, the caucus is, but why is the
00:13:20.780 leadership vote? Cause everybody's saying the leadership vote, the leadership vote, the leadership
00:13:23.440 vote, they've all flown back. Why is the leadership vote not the end all and be all?
00:13:28.480 Because that one is not where it's behind closed doors. It's, it's, you don't have people going to
00:13:33.960 lie all over the place. The fight would not have materialized necessarily. It may, we're going to
00:13:38.500 make progress. Some people will run for speaker potentially, but the real vote is in this, is in
00:13:44.180 the House chambers and Democrats vote no. And so you only need a minority, potentially single
00:13:51.360 digits, maybe 15 or so. We'll know when we have the final count. That is the real vote. And we've
00:13:58.900 seen this. We've run this play before against John Boehner, and that's when it becomes real.
00:14:05.400 And a member can switch. I hope they all go in there behind closed doors, the cartel consideration
00:14:11.760 and to say we're against Kevin McCarthy, that would be great.
00:14:14.260 But what I'm saying is that even if they don't do that,
00:14:16.920 they should not think that this is going away
00:14:18.980 because the fundamentals at the grassroots
00:14:20.800 are going to make this a real issue on January.
00:14:23.660 So if they want to make this so it's not hard in January,
00:14:25.880 they should just go now.
00:14:27.980 Okay, Russ, if you can just stay for a few minutes on the other side.
00:14:30.960 I've got Steve Cortez. He has some thoughts about this.
00:14:33.500 We're going to explain.
00:14:34.660 I want to break down and make sure the audience,
00:14:37.760 the war room posse, understands what the cartel is.
00:14:40.260 What are we actually talking about?
00:14:41.760 Okay, we've got a lot going on, including FTX just filed for bankruptcy.
00:14:45.660 This was the biggest donor next to source for the Democrats in 2022.
00:14:50.200 Stolen money, essentially, from investors.
00:14:53.180 Funded a $100 million effort in these House and Senate races.
00:14:57.040 We'll get to all that next.
00:14:58.640 Americans are discovering that if we want to change this nation, we have to change the way the marketplace works.
00:15:03.700 Look, woke corporations are seeking to divide us.
00:15:05.800 Big banks are freezing the accounts of people who disagree with their political views.
00:15:10.400 and our supply chain is dependent upon countries that actively work against our values like the
00:15:15.840 Chinese Communist Party. It's time for a change, and that change starts with you and your wallet.

00:17:13.700 going to have a huge impact not not just simply in crypto much deeper than that there's going to
00:17:17.520 be a lot of the democratic party sucked into this a massive scandal and of course mercedes and all
00:17:22.640 these uh woke companies that have been part of this to fund this guy he was going to be the
00:17:26.880 norsaurus i gotta think i think if you check i think if you check you got uh even joe kent that
00:17:31.680 put money against joe kent bobert all those we'll check it all out okay i want to go back to talk
00:17:37.000 about the cartel what the cartel is why this is important but let me just pull the camera back for
00:17:41.840 a second i'm gonna ask cortez the same question what is your beef with kevin mccarthy i mean he
00:17:46.860 comes from bakersfield i'm gonna play devil's advocate here he play he comes from bakersfield
00:17:50.560 he's a um he kind of comes from a deplorable background uh he looks like you know he's he's
00:17:57.120 the um the pledge chairman at the fraternity you know he goes out and gets all these candidates
00:18:01.460 so russ you're a nuts and bolts guy that gets down to results but what is your beef and what
00:18:07.540 is really scott perry and in the house freedom caucus which is the most trumpian of the caucuses
00:18:13.280 in the uh in the in the house what is their central beef with with kevin mccarthy because
00:18:18.820 right now essentially what they're saying is any anybody but McCarthy they'd even take a moderate
00:18:23.660 right as long as you had in what you call a coalition government right if you don't get a
00:18:27.620 Jordan or you know I don't want to say Scalise or Stefanik if you don't get some one of those
00:18:32.800 in leadership now you'll take a coalition government like in Israel in the house which
00:18:37.880 would be unique so why is it anybody why are you anybody but McCarthy what what is the logic of
00:18:43.040 argument? Well, I have just seen up close and personal that he does not approach these decisions
00:18:50.160 on the basis of what's necessary to save the country. And they used to, you know,
00:18:54.000 they used to use the words, we have to do member management. And I thought, you know,
00:18:58.020 member management must be, hey, this member wants to be on a committee or go on a CODEL or whatever.
00:19:02.880 And it's not. It's about how to manage their own members away from the fights that are most
00:19:08.120 important to save the country. And that has been this leadership team and the leadership team in
00:19:13.260 recent past, really only going back to Newt Gingrich, was really the only person that wasn't
00:19:17.660 like that. And so we need something else. We need to have a paradigm change in the House.
00:19:23.820 There's this view that Kevin McCarthy's transactional, and he was during the Trump
00:19:27.620 administration, had a good working relationship. I know you did as well. And that was great. But
00:19:33.060 But he has shown in two years since then that he does not move where conservatives are.
00:19:38.940 When they wanted recorded votes on the floor of the House, he opposed them.
00:19:42.520 When it came time to being able to push the impeachment resolutions, he was opposed to that.
00:19:47.940 He's pushing against the church-style committee to go after the weaponized state as we speak.
00:19:52.980 He's been averse to rules changes that in the lead up to the election that would allow the House to function to empower policy entrepreneurs at the rank and file level.
00:20:04.780 And so it is a cartel government. It is behind the closed doors. It's not on the floor of the House.
00:20:10.720 And he is representative of that. It's not because he's a bad guy.
00:20:15.160 It's just because he's a peacetime speaker and we need a wartime speaker.
00:20:18.360 okay walk me through then just walk me through the process you're saying january 3rd is the day
00:20:24.920 because that's when people have to stand and deliver with the cameras of the globe upon them
00:20:28.900 what happens between now and then and if it's anybody but mccarthy and by the way i want to
00:20:33.660 make sure everybody understands we've reached out to those guys because what russ vote is doing is
00:20:39.040 a profile in courage because if you step forward and do this if it doesn't work out you're going
00:20:45.040 to get your head chopped off right don't ban me from twitter again it's a metaphor okay but i'm
00:20:50.440 saying about russ vote and not and not ray and fouchy so they won't have a problem but there's
00:20:56.520 literally a hundred people have wanted to come on here and do the anti-mccarthy thing literally
00:21:00.980 and um and we said i wanted russ because he's thought this through and is not known as a guy
00:21:06.020 that gets involved at this level of kind of leadership or elective politics he's doing it
00:21:10.820 from purposes of hey we got tough fights tough appropriations bills next year we got a cut
00:21:15.620 spending we got the dead ceiling you got so many hard fights you need a wartime you need a wartime
00:21:20.540 leader um but but russ what want me through the process what is and while we've reached out to
00:21:27.520 mccarthy's team and the general team to send us some surrogates let's say i want to hit because
00:21:31.700 cortez is about to come in and do another bombing run right after russ at a different on a different
00:21:36.380 angle of attack. Hey, give us some surrogates. Let's make the case for McCarthy, because this 0.95
00:21:41.360 is going to be one that's got to be debated out. Walk us through the process as you see it, Russ.
00:21:45.860 What happens? So next week and right now, the most critical moment is for members to just make
00:21:52.220 public statements that say we are opposed to Kevin McCarthy. When you have too much of a focus about
00:21:58.300 who's going to be the one that's running or the speaker that you're trying, there's a good sense
00:22:02.400 of who we want. And that's Jim Jordan. But we need those statements and we need someone to step
00:22:09.480 forward. And they don't have to be the one that's going to get the victory in the conference. They
00:22:13.920 just have to take away the argument that you saw from some members that say, there's no one
00:22:18.400 running. That's the most damaging argument right now at the grassroots is, and we have to prevent
00:22:23.700 that. So we need a member or two or three, doesn't have to be one, to step forward and say, I'm
00:22:28.800 running so that that member who doesn't want to be with us can't go home and say there's no one
00:22:35.180 running. Then you have the ability to be able to push for the real candidate because at that point
00:22:41.840 Kevin McCarthy is going to start to count the votes. He's going to say, I don't have the votes
00:22:45.980 and the people that publicly know, I know have backbones of steel and I'm not going to be able
00:22:51.320 to change their mind. So you have an opportunity to delay this, to be able to stop this before you
00:22:56.840 get to January, and then you have a conversation, okay, who is the conference willing to accept?
00:23:02.540 Who is that? That's someone like a Jim Jordan. The last thing I would say is you ask, what is
00:23:07.140 a cartel? The cartel, what I mean by that is that over the hundred years, the business of government
00:23:13.420 has gone behind closed door, either at the administrative state or behind into smoke-filled
00:23:19.640 rooms without the smoke anymore. It doesn't happen on the floor. It's de jure on the floor.
00:23:24.660 it's de facto behind closed doors. Next week is an exercise in the cartel. But the problem for
00:23:31.440 the cartel is they actually have to get the people's assent on the floor of the House.
00:23:36.160 And so that's your leverage point. It's just that do the members believe that they have that
00:23:41.640 authority and their constituents are going to know that they have that authority? That's why
00:23:45.820 the leverage point is in January. But next week will be vital to the extent that we will get a
00:23:51.200 sense of how who are the who are our fighters beyond those who are already out there our
00:23:56.140 coalition will grow we'll have more members out there making public statements and then we'll
00:24:00.940 begin to talk through all right who's the run person running and making the making the race
00:24:05.200 if i can summarize one of the arguments just before we let you go russ is that
00:24:09.660 they're saying hey um this was always the gates theory of the case if you get under 10
00:24:15.100 seat majority he's in jeopardy if you get up to the bannon 50 or 60 unless all those above 30
00:24:21.000 are all MAGA. He could be safe. The irony is, and people tell me it's $30 million, $40 million,
00:24:27.740 the $50 million or $40, however much he spent against the Caroline Levitts, the Joe Kents,
00:24:33.000 the Anna Paulina Lunas, all that has come back to haunting because he spent that money in primaries
00:24:38.420 against MAGA candidates. And now he's left, he's really beholden to this eight to 10. If you get
00:24:45.240 hate to tend hardcore you know immovable and i thought some random names are like perry and good
00:24:51.200 and these people uh you've got a problem correct i mean you've got a big problem you may have an
00:24:56.620 existential threat is that that's the summary of the case right that is exactly the case and
00:25:03.120 we have recent history from the boehner operation in which we saw this at play which was mark meadows
00:25:09.980 breitbart russ vote and some just some random names out there that made that happen um breitbart
00:25:16.980 under stephen k bannon um okay russ vote this is amazing i want everybody to read it and like i
00:25:22.800 said we reached out to to have the counter argument because this has got to be debated
00:25:25.820 through but as good a job as we do on capital markets and some of the geopolitics and things
00:25:30.440 like that to make sure the math and polling uh de jure uh on the floor de facto behind closed
00:25:37.380 doors is going to be one of the constructs that we'll work with. Russ Vogt just told you the way
00:25:41.440 things really work. That's not some cute phrase like the swamp. That's the deal, right? The
00:25:46.840 cartel's been around for 100 years. Now they've got the administrative state and the executive
00:25:50.520 branch and they have the cartel on Capitol Hill. You've got to break them. They have to be broken
00:25:55.260 or you're never going to have a government where the people are sovereign. Russ Vogt, how do people
00:25:59.340 get to you, sir, in all your great work? You can get me an at Russ Vogt on Twitter, Truth, Getter.
00:26:06.720 We're updating in real time, and our website is americarenewing.com.
00:26:12.200 Russ Vogt, you're a patriot and a hero, sir.
00:26:13.940 Thank you very much.
00:26:15.460 Thanks, Steve.
00:26:18.740 Cortez, a couple minutes on this side, and then I'll just come back.
00:26:20.960 But you've been saying, hey, we need to go back to Teddy Roosevelt's trust busting, cartel busting.
00:26:26.340 What Russ Vogt just said to you is music to your ears, sir?
00:26:30.980 Amen.
00:26:31.460 It sure is.
00:26:32.160 First, Steve, by the way, I want to tell you happy Veterans Day and happy Veterans Day to everyone out there
00:26:36.020 who wore the uniform for our amazing country. We are so grateful. Now, regarding this fight,
00:26:41.540 first of all, we're going to take power, thank goodness, not to the extent that we wanted to,
00:26:45.860 but we're going to take power. What are we going to do with it? Well, when we look at McConnell
00:26:50.080 and McCarthy, they are relics of a bygone era of corporatism and globalism in the Republican Party.
00:26:56.600 By the way, together they have served over 50 years on Capitol Hill. They do not realize,
00:27:02.720 to Russ's point about this being war, they don't realize that we are in a scorched earth
00:27:07.100 culture war right now. This is not some polite debate over marginal tax rates that might have
00:27:12.340 been the 1980s or the 1990s. This is a very different era. And McCarthy has neither the
00:27:17.720 skills nor the philosophy to be our champion, to be a wartime consigliere at a moment like this
00:27:24.440 in America. Let me give you two quotes to prove my point. One from him. This is what he said on
00:27:29.000 January 10th of 2021, following January 6th, when President Trump was about to get impeached in a
00:27:35.340 second sham impeachment. This is what, in a time of political war, when times were tough, when
00:27:41.600 things were heated, this is what Kevin McCarthy said to Liz Cheney, of all people. He said, quote,
00:27:47.860 it would be my recommendation that he should resign about President Trump. And he lied about
00:27:54.360 saying that. The only reason we know he said it is Rachel Maddow produced the video, the audio.
00:27:59.000 Hang on for one second.
00:28:01.400 Steve Cortez.
00:28:02.920 You got Arizona.
00:28:04.300 We got Nevada.
00:28:05.380 We're going to track down Joe Kent.
00:28:06.720 We got Washington, Colorado, Bovert.
00:28:10.740 All of it, capital markets, economics, all coming to you in the world.
00:28:21.480 Look, you did the tough thing during COVID.
00:28:23.980 You paid your people, and you pulled your business through the pandemic.
00:28:26.920 and now doing the tough thing could qualify you for up to $26,000 per employee at covidtaxrelief.org.
00:28:36.700 Government funds are available to reward companies with two or more employees who stayed open during COVID.
00:28:43.060 This is not a loan and you don't have to pay it back.
00:28:46.160 This program is complicated, but nobody knows more about it than the CPAs and tax experts at covidtaxrelief.org.
00:28:53.640 You pay nothing up front.
00:28:55.240 they do all the work and share a percentage of the cash they get you businesses of all types
00:29:01.080 including non-profits and churches can qualify including those who took PPP loans even if you
00:29:07.240 had an increase in sales you did the tough thing for your employees during COVID let COVIDtaxrelief.org
00:29:13.900 help get you up to $26,000 per employee visit COVIDtaxrelief.org that's COVIDtaxrelief.org
00:29:23.860 do this today take action at covidtaxrelief.org or we took charge here hey did we get 50 seats
00:29:33.400 we didn't but we're going to have you know a 10 or 12 seat 15 seat majority you're going to have
00:29:39.020 to be able to use it and you got so many tough votes look that um bitcoin and not bitcoin so
00:29:45.260 this crypto situation is not unusual the british guy in england today they're reporting i think it
00:29:52.080 50 percent of small businesses it's up on cnbc i put it up on getter i think 50 of the small
00:29:58.000 businesses cortez are channeling you saying they can make it through christmas but with heating
00:30:02.360 costs and the cost of living and everything going up they don't know if they survive through the
00:30:06.200 first quarter of next year these are the shopkeepers right you're going to have economic
00:30:10.320 catastrophe before us and super hard decisions to make so what else is your beef well by the way
00:30:17.360 i want to make sure everybody's in the war and posse i have asked them to send surrogates to us
00:30:21.900 I want people to come and make the case for Kevin McCarthy, because this thing is so important.
00:30:26.640 You're going to have to. And remember, the war room posse, you guys are the creditors committee.
00:30:31.400 You sit on you sit at the head of the table of the bankruptcy of this country.
00:30:35.160 And this country is definitely bankrupt. And that's all going to be revealed here in the next six months daily.
00:30:42.340 Cortez, what else is your beef? Yes.
00:30:44.520 Well, by the way, to connect your economic point to this important macro point about Kevin McCarthy, the agenda going forward.
00:30:50.180 What we see happening in the UK, it is worse there, but we have a similar situation, unfortunately, here among small business owners.
00:30:56.820 We know, I did a chalk talk on this from the most recent alignable survey of 5,000 small firms, that 37% of them in America could not make rent in the month of October.
00:31:07.380 49% of restaurateurs in America could not pay rent in the month of October.
00:31:12.300 So they are hanging on by a thread.
00:31:14.380 And when small business suffers, we see a greater concentration of power in the hands of big business.
00:31:20.180 and the big business oligarchs.
00:31:21.760 And that's how I want to now connect this to Kevin McCarthy,
00:31:24.980 because Kevin McCarthy has been the best friend of big tech
00:31:28.360 on the Republican side that they could ever ask for.
00:31:31.440 That's not just my opinion.
00:31:32.740 That's the opinion of the political left.
00:31:34.740 Politico, which is a very left-leaning publication,
00:31:37.240 here's a quote from Politico
00:31:38.280 about his relationship with Silicon Valley.
00:31:40.560 Silicon Valley lobbyists are skeptical
00:31:42.920 that McCarthy would actually enact policies
00:31:45.320 that would hurt their companies.
00:31:48.060 That's Politico, okay?
00:31:49.240 So I think that is a second quote.
00:31:50.920 The first quote I gave you was from Kevin McCarthy himself, saying that President Trump
00:31:54.920 should resign his office with only 10 days to go at the end of his term, his term, which
00:32:00.380 was artificially and illegitimately ended by big tech.
00:32:04.120 OK, now let's connect the dots to big tech.
00:32:06.660 Kevin McCarthy is the dependable lackey of big tech.
00:32:10.600 He also happens to be the roommate of Frank Luntz.
00:32:12.620 When we put all of this together in totality, this is simply not the warrior to take the
00:32:17.660 gavel and lead us in a time when we are fighting the oligarchs, when we are fighting a culture war
00:32:22.720 and when we are enduring an intense economic crisis created by Joe Biden. We need a warrior
00:32:29.040 and that man is not Kevin McCarthy. Okay, hang on for one second, Cortez. You and I got a lot to
00:32:34.900 get through and I want to get back to Ukraine also and capital markets and all of it. I want
00:32:39.280 to go to, we got some work to do in Nevada, in Arizona and other places. Bober itself, I think,
00:32:43.880 what 1400 votes that's going to go i think close to a recount but it's still grinding through some
00:32:48.700 rural communities we're going to try to get some experts on to talk about that joe kent i'm gonna
00:32:52.680 try to get joe kent on later joe kent is cutting that lead with every ballot drop uh and but let's
00:32:58.440 go to richard barris richard in uh you know overnight i want to know about laxalt the governor
00:33:04.340 and particularly marchandt from what you see that's outstanding because it seems to me i don't
00:33:09.000 know if it's dmv or what they're doing but there's things being i think created maybe that's too
00:33:15.700 harsh a term but this uh this clark county which is basically vegas the the drop boxes and even uh
00:33:23.000 wasso county looks a little gamey to me what's your sense of nevada right now look you know the
00:33:29.540 clark stuff is nothing new steve you know this is the way it goes but really the recipe for winning
00:33:35.080 the state of nevada uh marshall has fallen behind and uh with the way things are going right now
00:33:40.320 you know i'm giving you real talk with the way things are going right now uh something would
00:33:44.600 have to change dramatically in washoe and have there are other rural votes out but at this point
00:33:50.120 laxalt is uh aside from lombardo uh laxalt is the only one who has a chance in my mind to hold on
00:33:56.780 now there's still rurals in which helped uh laxalt a little bit when nye reported and we are told
00:34:02.740 that there are more ballots, quite a bit more ballots out. But the bottom line here is when
00:34:07.520 your surveillance system goes out in the middle of the night, whether something's wrong or not,
00:34:11.880 when your surveillance goes dark, as they put it, and then the ballot drop does not match the
00:34:16.720 pattern, people start to get upset. And whether it's legitimate or not, you cannot conduct
00:34:21.920 elections like this. Laxalt was winning Washoe every single batch, mail or election day after
00:34:29.000 the initial early vote drop so it's just this last bit of mail that put masto back in the lead in
00:34:35.360 washoe you have got to carry washoe is it possible not to and still win yeah but not if you're going
00:34:41.320 to lose clark by nine so well we just it really it's a coin it really is a coin toss that washoe
00:34:47.860 mail dump clark you expect it but that washoe mail dump gives her a lot more margin if she wins the
00:34:53.680 rest of clark 55 35 she's going to win or not even 55 35 she wins 55 of the rest of what's out in 1.00
00:35:00.820 clark she will win if washoe doesn't change and that is uh and she'll beat a laxalt by what a
00:35:07.340 couple of thousand votes or a thousand votes very yeah yep it will not be it will not be a comfortable
00:35:13.260 win but nevertheless it'll still be you know maybe a point real quickly give me the uh in a minute
00:35:19.500 Just give me what happened on the surveillance and why is it kind of fishy about how the timing of this, you know, the ballots were dropped like nine minutes after it went dark.
00:35:28.840 So, you know, Twitter and the social universe blows up.
00:35:32.840 You know, countries cannot stand elections like this.
00:35:36.440 I mean, eventually civil society starts bursting from the seams.
00:35:39.820 They said, and I quote, we investigated what happened and how to make sure it doesn't happen again.
00:35:46.500 That's all they said.
00:35:47.700 That's it.
00:35:48.120 Uh, you know, if your surveillance goes dark, then you should probably wait before reporting votes. Otherwise you're just going to cause mass chaos and, and, and distress.
00:35:58.500 Yeah. Uh, Marchant, uh, Marchant, um, went from 9,500 up yesterday morning at this time. He's now, I think 5,000 down in the bulk of some is the, the, go ahead.
00:36:10.020 That was a big Washoe dump.
00:36:11.920 Of course, Clark was coming in and cutting Republicans' margins.
00:36:15.140 But it was what changed the trajectory in all of these races, except for Lombardo.
00:36:21.000 Lombardo's got a bigger pad.
00:36:22.380 What changed the trajectory really was the vote break that came in in Washoe.
00:36:27.900 The initial drop that was an early vote after the first batch was reported was very favorable
00:36:34.980 for Republicans.
00:36:35.720 So, you know, that's why people are scratching their heads as to how Masto, you know, got that big of a margin in that last drop.
00:36:43.260 It just, you know, it doesn't, it doesn't, it doesn't track.
00:36:47.900 Flip to Arizona.
00:36:51.420 Wasserman over at Cook has deemed that he's seen enough in that in Arizona, Kelly's going to win it.
00:36:58.260 Do you agree, Richard Barris?
00:36:59.880 No, absolutely not.
00:37:01.300 That was premature.
00:37:02.040 Sure. He also called the state of Florida for Hillary Clinton when you were with Donald Trump in 2016.
00:37:07.020 So this has happened quite a bit. This has happened quite a bit with Dave Wasserman.
00:37:11.700 Usually he's right. He's not always right. And here he is wrong.
00:37:15.100 He does not understand the difference in voting behavior.
00:37:17.640 If Masters wins these electoral drops and draw three votes by two to one margin, that alone could wipe out Kelly's leak.
00:37:26.380 So this idea, I mean, this is just and there is other vote out, but they're doing a little bit of a PR stunt in Arizona and they're putting all of the Dem-Premley votes first and they're waiting.
00:37:37.800 They're trying to basically make it look like Dems have a bigger lead and they're waiting to, you know, and I think they're probably crossing their fingers, hoping that Republicans don't get a two to one in that.
00:37:48.740 that we've polled it uh we're not the only ones that's why you see the folks at data orbital also
00:37:54.200 being uh pretty confident that look this is a heavy republican vote because we've done polling
00:37:59.640 we've done exit polling these people were going these are like the charlie kirk and danessa suja
00:38:05.400 2000 mule voters steve they didn't want to mail their ballot they want to be election day voters
00:38:10.140 but because they're listed as absentee voters if they go and walk it in on election day they may
00:38:14.800 be a provisional so they hold their ballot and they bring it in on election day the big this is
00:38:20.100 why yeah this is the reason of being out there and making sure all the trump voters and obviously
00:38:26.700 with the lindell vote on game day that's where he had the long lines etc now you've got the 17 000
00:38:32.640 over there for the box three which were people that that didn't the machines didn't work and
00:38:37.780 you've got the big thing it's taking so time is is when i get off with you i'm actually
00:38:44.620 jumping on a phone uh phone call uh trying to figure out uh you know about that 17 000 because
00:38:50.040 steve that sounds very very low to me you can do that in maricopa in an hour in the morning i mean
00:38:56.380 that's uh it just i'm trying to get a better idea of you know where these 17 000 came from because
00:39:03.020 20 of those tabulators were down in heavily republican areas and i'm telling you they can
00:39:09.000 do 45k in the first hour so you know do the math you're telling me that was all day long
00:39:14.560 I don't know.
00:39:15.220 But I'm going to find out.
00:39:15.900 I'm going to try to find out.
00:39:16.820 And that could be the difference right there.
00:39:19.120 Those could be the key for Blake Masters and Mark Fincher.
00:39:23.380 Absolutely.
00:39:24.080 Also, the question is, how many people just went home?
00:39:27.060 How many people just went home?
00:39:28.260 Yeah.
00:39:28.620 Okay, Richard.
00:39:29.340 This is the tragedy here, you know, without a doubt.
00:39:32.660 I think we may be moving the flag, the deck and the con.
00:39:36.100 Anyway, tell me, how do people get to you?
00:39:39.880 Because they've got to follow you now 24-7 on Nevada.
00:39:42.860 We're doing it 24-7.
00:39:43.660 We're doing it 24-7.
00:39:46.340 People's pundit.locals.com, and we're going to have another stream when that batch drops tonight.
00:39:52.600 That'll be 6 p.m. Arizona time.
00:39:55.800 Rural will be, you know, rolling in throughout the day, but we'll be live a little bit before the dump is expected.
00:40:01.660 It's always delayed, so, you know, expect that.
00:40:04.200 Hopefully it's not, but it's been delayed.
00:40:06.160 And let's see what happens when we get that 290 election day drop and the 17,000, you know, draw three.
00:40:13.140 We may be able to call one or both at this point at the top of the ticket tonight.
00:40:18.040 But we'll see.
00:40:18.980 It's Maricopa, Steve.
00:40:20.620 It'll be 9 p.m. Eastern time.
00:40:23.500 Oh, excuse me, 8 p.m. Eastern time all the way to maybe 10 o'clock.
00:40:26.780 Yeah, 10 o'clock.
00:40:28.200 Okay.
00:40:28.780 Okay, thank you, sir.
00:40:29.940 Thank you, Richard Burris.
00:40:30.700 All right, Steve.
00:40:31.260 All the best.
00:40:32.740 Thanks.
00:40:33.180 Let's go to Ben Burquam, who's out on the scene.
00:40:35.640 Ben, how do we set the date?
00:40:37.680 Are you going to get into press conferences when they're done,
00:40:39.820 or are you still banned?
00:40:40.520 uh yeah they still have yet to respond they haven't officially banned me steve they've
00:40:46.300 threatened to arrest me if i go on the property without getting the uh little red badge that they
00:40:52.080 offer the the gestapo badge that they offer to get in there but we're still waiting so they haven't
00:40:56.400 officially responded to our email i think that's part of it they're just trying not to respond
00:41:00.580 yesterday we went in applied you know we got in we were in there for an hour our my cameraman i
00:41:05.660 went in afterwards they ended up kicking us out saying you had to apply we applied we went back
00:41:09.380 And that's when they threatened us. But either way, it doesn't matter, Steve.
00:41:12.080 We're going to be here. We're going to get to the bottom of it.
00:41:14.440 We're going to get the answers. And in the end, as so many others have said,
00:41:18.480 Kerry Lake's going to win this based on the numbers.
00:41:20.400 But we're going to keep an eye on it. This is this is what has to happen.
00:41:23.120 You cannot allow this to happen in the dark.
00:41:26.180 Yeah, no, we're going to have massive assets out there.
00:41:29.400 Kerry Lake, we're not going to let this be stolen. Keep sure I understand that.
00:41:32.500 By the way, don't you know, I've actually threatened to have been Burkwama arrested a couple of three times.
00:41:36.640 Just kidding, Ben. 0.68

00:43:43.280 Getter has arrived. It's time to say what you want, the way you want. Download now.
00:43:49.460 I'll tell you why they're doing it, because he's probably going to announce he's running,
00:43:53.140 and some people don't want him to, but I don't think that's going to stop him.
00:43:56.760 He did amazing things for this country. His America First policies had every
00:44:01.320 group of citizens doing better. Didn't matter what your skin color was,
00:44:05.140 didn't matter what your zip code was. We were riding high under President Trump.
00:44:08.920 The country was in better shape. He ended wars. He didn't start any wars.
00:44:13.980 He had brought peace to the Middle East. Our 401ks were looking pretty good,
00:44:19.040 And if you look at your retirement savings right now, I talked to many retirees who said, Kerry, I just retired.
00:44:25.160 I might have to go back to work. My retirement savings has shriveled up.
00:44:28.680 It's dried up under Joe Biden. And we need somebody to get us out of the jam.
00:44:33.860 We're in. President Trump did it once before. I think he would be a great candidate.
00:44:37.300 By the way, so that's the voice of Kerry Lake yesterday.
00:44:42.340 Cortez, you made a point yesterday. They're trying to demoralize the deplorables and the MAGA movement and exhaust them.
00:44:48.400 And you see, this is trench warfare in Arizona and trench warfare right now, political trench warfare in Nevada.
00:44:56.680 Are they going to win? Are they going to demoralize this and exhaust this, sir?
00:45:00.220 No, it's not going to work. But I want the deplorables out there to realize that that is the effort currently underway.
00:45:06.480 Part of the reason why they are slow walking the counting of votes, why they are giving out vague and at times contradictory information,
00:45:12.400 information, elongating this process beyond anything that is reasonable, is because they
00:45:16.880 realize the American people are already incredibly anxious because of the economy. Understandably so.
00:45:22.760 Consumer sentiment just a few weeks ago hit the lowest level of the post-World War II era. So the
00:45:29.120 left knows that the people are already anxious and that if they politically demoralize them,
00:45:33.900 if they convince them that they don't in fact have agency over this process, that people might
00:45:38.740 walk away, that they might just simply politically drop out and say, you know what, it's not worth
00:45:42.880 it. I'm going to go live my life as best I can and ignore this public process. But we can't let
00:45:47.520 that happen. We cannot let them win, again, because we are on the cusp of taking control,
00:45:52.220 not to the degree that we wanted, but we're going to take control. And let me say specifically to
00:45:55.700 Arizona and Cary Lake, as horrible as this voting process is, this vote counting process in Arizona
00:46:01.560 is, Governor Cary Lake, and that will soon be her appellation, Governor Cary Lake is going to fix 0.98
00:46:08.340 that. And in 2024 and 2026, we're going to have fabulous real voting procedures, accurate vote
00:46:14.820 counting in Arizona because she is going to make that happen. So stay the course, patriots, and
00:46:19.800 stay the course in large part because, Steve, with all this political news, and it's intense, right,
00:46:23.920 with all this political news, let's not lose sight of what's going on with the American economy
00:46:28.760 because American workers are absolutely floundering right now. That is the reality, and we've got
00:46:34.460 more terrible dire economic news out this week that proves my point and we have to remember that
00:46:39.960 it's one of the main reasons that we have to take control and we have to start applying the
00:46:44.620 tourniquet uh to stop the the economic bleeding caused by joe biden and his created crisis
00:46:50.440 walk us through that you've got some math that's going to shock some people do we want to play uh
00:46:56.560 want to play his chalk talk first you want to go ahead and start showing your charts you know let's
00:46:59.960 go to the charts i think if that's if that's gonna you know i love my chalk talks of course but
00:47:04.620 Go to the charts.
00:47:05.700 Anyway, let's go to the charts.
00:47:06.860 Yeah, I think in the name of time here, let's go to the charts.
00:47:09.280 So listen, we got news out yesterday on CPI.
00:47:12.280 The corporate media is, Consumer Price Index, corporate media is actually trying to somehow
00:47:16.440 celebrate as a victory an inflation rate of nearly 8%.
00:47:21.280 Okay, that is ridiculous, first of all, on its face.
00:47:24.120 But as is often the case, the devil's in the details.
00:47:26.400 And we look under the hood of that report, we see the worsening situation of what I call
00:47:31.100 sticky inflation.
00:47:32.140 In other words, prices that are going up that are unlikely to go back down, not volatile like energy prices, for example.
00:47:38.180 If we can go to chart number one here, this is shelter.
00:47:41.180 And I think this is incredibly important.
00:47:42.380 This is since the beginning of the Trump terms, the year over year percentage change in the cost of shelter.
00:47:48.660 And that's a Federal Reserve chart.
00:47:50.640 You can see for the beginning of that chart until the Biden term, until the Biden regime, we had stable, low, predictable increases in shelter prices under President Trump.
00:48:01.020 The exact opposite right now, as I show there with that red arrow, shelter costs are soaring, continue to ascend higher.
00:48:09.060 They are not cooling at all.
00:48:10.840 And in fact, we have just hit that is the chart doesn't go back this far, but that is a 30 year high.
00:48:16.060 We have not seen shelter costs rise like this since 1990.
00:48:19.500 And again, this is very, very sticky inflation.
00:48:22.420 Now, if we go to chart number two, let's go to the what I call the half two items, kind of the Cortez half two basket.
00:48:27.780 These are not discretionary items.
00:48:29.200 These are the things you need to live your life, quite literally.
00:48:32.400 Gasoline, groceries, and utilities.
00:48:34.480 In yesterday's report, which again was 7.7% overall inflation, it's more than twice that
00:48:39.980 for these have-to items.
00:48:41.780 16.2% for this basket of things you need to live.
00:48:45.860 And Steve, this is absolutely crushing to working class people.
00:48:49.280 Because if you're a high income person, you might be annoyed that this have-to basket
00:48:53.020 is rising, but it doesn't really change your life.
00:48:54.940 But if you're a working-class single mom, if you're a retiree trying to live on a budget, 16% inflation in the have-to items is absolutely crushing to you.
00:49:05.360 But the news, by the way, isn't only bad for people of modest means.
00:49:08.920 It's also bad for the higher end.
00:49:10.700 This honestly surprised even me.
00:49:12.320 If we can go to chart number three, I want to show this on luxury spending.
00:49:15.800 This is a chart that was put out by Citibank.
00:49:18.320 This is credit card spending on luxury items, and that chart goes back to the spring.
00:49:22.360 In the spring of this year, the wealthy were still feeling pretty good.
00:49:25.820 And year-over-year increases in luxury spending was almost 10% year-over-year.
00:49:30.260 As you can see from that chart, it has demonstrably moved from the upper left to the lower right.
00:49:35.380 Year-over-year spending now on luxury items minus 6%.
00:49:40.080 That is an implosion, even for the wealthy or the well-off.
00:49:44.380 So the economic news is roundly terrible.
00:49:48.140 It is a created crisis because of Joe Biden.
00:49:50.160 And Steve, we will only stop it. We will only start to stop it if the incoming GOP Congress, and I believe it will at least be the House, let's hope it's also the Senate, has the guts to stand up against Joe Biden. And to me, the single most effective, quickest remedy is to say, you either unleash American energy again, or we will not fund a single one of your initiatives. We are willing to risk a government shutdown on that.
00:50:14.320 I think the first place to do that is the border. The second place is on energy. We have to start.
00:50:19.120 The American middle class, particularly right now, is absolutely in crisis. It's not even just a recession.
00:50:24.680 It's more like a depression for them. That's the reality.
00:50:27.300 And this new Congress has to have the guts and vision to stand up and advocate for them because the people have placed that responsibility on these representatives.
00:50:36.100 Can you give us your social media and we'll let you bounce. I know you're busy today.
00:50:40.820 How do people get to you?
00:50:44.160 Please follow me on the getter.

00:51:01.640 The question, just what he laid out with the energy and the border,
00:51:04.540 is McCarthy tough enough?
