are traveling so we normally have obviously try to get as many guests up here as skype as possible
00:04:01.460
but it's uh it may or may not work out okay so here's what's going on you've got this huge fight
00:04:06.740
on capitol hill remember we've got the lame duck the lame duck they're gonna all come back congress
00:04:11.740
is out of town this week they're all going to come back on you know sunday i think for a monday start
00:04:16.120
they've only got then what is that the 28th so they've only got uh they say they're going to
00:04:20.920
leave on the 15th that will never happen basically they hit two or three weeks they're trying they're
00:04:25.800
going to try to get monumental things done uh and not good things uh to to basically lift the debt
00:04:31.540
ceiling and quite frankly biden and some people i guess i shouldn't say that biden said he doesn't
00:04:36.540
want to do it but there's some radical democrats they want to do away with the debt ceiling
00:04:40.300
all together remember that's your one piece of uh your piece of leverage also and chuck schumer said
00:04:47.140
this chuck schumer talked about the uh chuck schumer talked about the replacement theory says hey the
00:04:51.660
reason you need all these illegal aliens and all the phony uh asylum seekers right not the people are
00:04:57.720
phony they're economic migrants we understand that but that's not not that does not make you eligible
00:05:03.380
for uh asylum here in the united states it has to be direct political uh oppression things that you can
00:05:10.100
absolutely show like people coming from uh mainland china that have been oppressed by the uh by the
00:05:15.260
ccp economic migrants we would have you know we just had the eighth billionth um child born here in
00:05:21.620
the world you'd have six billion people that want to live here in the united states um and so economic
00:05:26.600
migrants doesn't you know doesn't hack it we saw from todd bensman's uh magnificent report and i think
00:05:33.440
this report is informing some of the stuff that mccarthy and these guys are talking about and that
00:05:38.640
is um you know mccarthy i'm sure is sitting there saying they're going to put my yorkus
00:05:43.080
on notice they're going to put my yorkus on notice that investigation are going to start that will lead
00:05:47.620
to his impeachment because of his lies his perjury to congress his misrepresentation and his breaking
00:05:53.220
of the law uh and todd bensman the amazing report coming out of cis that showed how well thought
00:05:59.840
through this is remember they they called oh we had all this chaos and we had to you know put all
00:06:05.040
these emergency measures down there and all these emergency camps we know from um from oscar uh blue
00:06:11.700
ramirez we know from michael yon down in the darien gap we know from todd bensman we know from the great
00:06:17.680
ben burkwam we know from everybody that this is a very well organized thought due process right and of
00:06:23.140
course todd bensman's report the other day which is shocking you get up on cis and it's linked to it on
00:06:28.880
the war room site this plan of what humanitarian parole which was like before done for you know
00:06:35.540
maybe a police officer was shot and and came across the and you know he had to get him across the border
00:06:40.860
for medical care that's not what's been used for they actually have um stations now set up in mexico
00:06:47.140
to process people in mexico and to make sure they get them through in the dark of night so they're not
00:06:51.420
really counted in the in the you know the what the five million that they've put here in the last two
00:06:56.680
years so it is um those are the types of things in this um lame duck the fight over the lame duck is
00:07:04.580
to make sure that they don't do these radical radical um policies and programs they want to do
00:07:10.460
listen i think because of the war room posse you having your shoulder to the wheel that looks like
00:07:15.820
the debt ceiling is not going to get done it looks like the amnesty is not going to get done why are
00:07:21.120
they not going to get done they can't get enough republican senators to go around the reason they can't
00:07:25.720
get enough republican senators to go around is because they're afraid of the uh of the of the
00:07:30.960
of the blowback from um from their constituents in fact uh it was josh hawley that said uh yesterday
00:07:39.320
was quoted as saying hey the blowback from uh from republican voters would be too intense
00:07:45.240
would be absolutely too intense and so we've got those two down there are many other things they're
00:07:50.300
trying to do including this massive there's two things massive omnibus bill and a defense
00:07:55.800
authorization act the defense authorization act has all the wokeness and this is one of the reasons that
00:08:01.280
the bottom's fallen out of their ability to recruit young americans because parents are very concerned
00:08:07.240
about sending their kids uh first off into foreign battlefields like ukraine right to die uh number two
00:08:14.600
is that obviously with everything they're hammering particularly in the south there's a huge drawback
00:08:19.360
in uh in in recruiting in the south and the south is still one of the most significant or not the most
00:08:25.580
significant uh providers of personnel uh for the military and so to stop the defense authorization and
00:08:32.200
to kick that into next year where uh this uh the house and the senate promises they're going to gut
00:08:37.460
all the wokeness uh in their they're going to gut all the wokeness and just um and just focus on the
00:08:43.520
defense officer i also think the defense budget has got to be cut and i'm the biggest advocate of the
00:08:48.100
of the anti-ccp of the anti-ccp um do we have do we have gates is he ready let's go i tell you what
00:08:55.180
i've got this open and i'm gonna come back to it i've got cortez but i gotta go to matt gates uh real
00:09:00.320
quickly congressman gates thank you very much for joining us here i know you're traveling and and really
00:09:05.060
appreciate it uh uh norman congressman norman came out last night and said uh and said he was a gun
00:09:12.460
he was a a hard no on mccarthy i think that's four or five in the calculation walk us through
00:09:19.260
where you stand on on your efforts there sure to catch everyone up last week there were 36 votes
00:09:26.980
against kevin mccarthy in the republican conference and again kevin has had years to try to convince
00:09:33.500
people of the worth of his candidacy since that time zero of those 36 have come out to say you know
00:09:41.960
what i voted against mccarthy previously but i am now prepared to vote for him on the floor zero
00:09:47.740
meanwhile five members which include myself andy biggs bob good matt rosendale and now most recently
00:09:57.020
ralph norman have all come out and said that our no vote on mccarthy is firm it was not just a no vote
00:10:04.300
within the republican conference it is a no vote we intend to carry for the floor to the floor
00:10:09.580
the reason that's significant is because republicans are expected to hold a four seat majority so five
00:10:17.160
of us saying publicly we have no intention of voting for mccarthy we are firm in our opposition to him
00:10:23.440
well that ought to trigger a realization among republicans that we need a consensus candidate we
00:10:30.520
need someone who is more broadly respected throughout the republican conference and we need someone who
00:10:37.120
believes in a bottom-up membership empowered house of representatives a top-down system run by kevin
00:10:45.440
mccarthy is not preferable because we don't like top-down systems but also because you know when
00:10:50.860
conflict arises the human instinct is fight or flight and we have seen time and again that kevin mccarthy
00:11:00.200
chooses flight you know in the days following january 6th he believed that donald trump should resign
00:11:07.720
and when i verbally criticized liz cheney kevin mccarthy said that might have been encouraging
00:11:14.240
violence against people and actually in our country we're smart enough to know that when we engage in
00:11:19.700
discourse and debate and yes sometimes even sharp criticism that doesn't green light violence
00:11:26.420
oftentimes that's what stops a civilized society from devolving into violence i've seen kevin mccarthy's
00:11:33.840
behavior in the majority he was the guy who was always willing to carry the bag for paul ryan
00:11:39.560
when you know it's interesting to see mccarthy go around talking about all the subpoenas he wants to
00:11:44.460
issue because when he was in the majority last when he was the majority leader last he did not utter one
00:11:52.980
word in support of the subpoenas that jim jordan and at the time ronda sanis and mark meadows and i
00:12:00.520
were calling for in the house judiciary committee so you know kevin mccarthy will revert to his
00:12:06.260
establishment mean the moment he gets power and that's why there are enough of us now a critical mass
00:12:13.480
standing as a bulwark against his his ascension to the speakership okay but over the last what 10 days
00:12:22.240
or since the vote i mean it looks like you had this joint press conference you got comer putting
00:12:27.240
up charts about hunter biden we're going to have natalie winters uh and others in here in the second
00:12:33.160
hour to go through that you've got jim jordan coming off the chain on a number of things they're
00:12:37.720
down at the border today they're going to make a special announcement on mayorkas mtg is out there
00:12:42.500
like a precision guided missile uh it looks like it's all fight no flight uh you believe that that's too
00:12:50.040
later are you telling your our audience that that's too late a conversion well it's certainly
00:12:56.680
easy to be in favor of fighting when you're in the minority when the when the bullets aren't real when
00:13:03.800
the rounds aren't live and we saw this in the obamacare discussion where you know kevin mccarthy
00:13:10.460
and paul ryan were willing to put the repeal of obamacare on obama's desk 60 times knowing he would
00:13:17.780
veto it but then when the rounds were live when we were in the majority there was no sense of fight
00:13:23.880
so i'm concerned that as it relates to kevin mccarthy it's all a puppet show for him it's all
00:13:30.520
performative it's not real and that doesn't in any way discount the incredible oversight work that
00:13:36.440
congresswoman green has done that jamie comer has done that we are planning to do in the house
00:13:41.120
judiciary committee but that is not happening because of kevin mccarthy that is happening
00:13:46.240
oftentimes in spite of kevin mccarthy and if you think that this is an optimized republican team
00:13:53.880
now wait till we get a real fighter with real vision at the head of it not someone who has to
00:13:59.920
stick his finger into the air to see which way is the wind blowing before determining where to lead
00:14:04.780
the troops into battle you were oh when you said the 31 and by the way for the audience is following
00:14:10.480
the home the 36 i take it 36 there's 31 no's is the pressure reporting you're saying there's five
00:14:15.920
abstentions no there were 30 there were 188 votes for kevin mccarthy there were 31 votes for andy big
00:14:24.120
and there were five votes for someone else so uh that doesn't you know where i think that's important
00:14:30.520
is that you know there were there's an entire margin of victory for my standpoint in people who voted
00:14:38.340
for neither mccarthy nor big i'd tell you can you just hang on for a second short commercial break
00:14:44.380
matt gates sticks with us on the other side and we got steve cortez and a lot else so hang around
00:14:51.360
you know what's never good when your nation's supposed authority on economic policy completely
00:15:05.940
misses the flashing red lights of impending inflation now treasury secretary janet yellen
00:15:12.140
has finally admitted quote there's been an unanticipated and large shocks to the economy

here's your host steven k bannon tuesday 22 november the year of roller 2022 we're now honored to be
00:16:32.460
joined by congressman ralph norman from south carolina five uh congressman norman uh you were
00:16:37.900
on the john solomon show last night made some uh waves by saying that you were a hard no on kevin
00:16:43.680
mccarthy as uh for speaker could you walk us through your thinking on that sir sure well steve first of all
00:16:51.180
uh there's nowhere it's written that only one person can take the mantle of speaker kevin mccarthy has
00:17:00.120
had four years to i guess make the case why he's the best uh to handle the what's going to be a very
00:17:07.440
difficult job speaker of the house is the most powerful position i would argue in the country today
00:17:14.000
particularly as it affects the purse strings which the house controls um he did it with me
00:17:21.360
or i guess this was the the thing that one i didn't understand and two i was shocked when
00:17:28.060
in front of the caucus i said uh kevin would you agree to go with the rsc budget of seven years of
00:17:35.740
balancing the budget which had some severe cuts and uh he just said no and not only is the leader
00:17:43.720
responsible for presenting the plan but just a solid no uh led me to believe he's really not serious
00:17:52.480
about it i'm done with 20-year budgets the american people are done this country's got a cancer and
00:17:58.240
uh aspen's not gonna cure it and do i want mccarthy going in negotiating with uh schumer and uh mccarthy
00:18:07.120
with the powers that be it's just not in him to do it he's a nice man i like him but this country's
00:18:14.660
we've got problems and economic economic security is national security the two go hand in hand and i
00:18:21.360
just don't think he's taking it seriously and it's not business as usual in washington do you think you
00:18:25.800
and i would be having this conversation if the house if we had a 30 to 40 seat margin no it'd just
00:18:33.180
be business as usual and and went on and the great thing about what happened i never thought i'd say
00:18:38.860
this is is a slim majority and you know it's gonna take uh 218 votes and he just doesn't have it
00:18:46.740
and i decided to go ahead and join my others um to to come out uh in the freedom caucus and and others
00:18:53.960
uh just to say no because i think there are other people that would lay out a vision for how we're
00:19:00.080
going to get this country back on track and it's not going to be easy but i just don't think kevin
00:19:04.260
has made the case for it and that's the short and simple reason you know we do a lot of capital
00:19:10.660
markets a lot of economics on here congressman as you know uh steve cortez is going to follow us here
00:19:15.340
uh to talk about that and talk about really they they give this happy talk about a recession maybe
00:19:20.300
maybe not for working class americans we're in a depression right now i mean they're getting
00:19:24.880
hammered you hear this happy talk about the debt ceiling they want to lift it are your constituents
00:19:29.980
telling you that they want somebody finally to draw a hard line up there that this spending because
00:19:35.320
this omnibus bill is going to have a trillion to two trillion dollars unfunded uh discretionary
00:19:40.080
spending are your constituents in south carolina prepared to back you when we have to take the hard
00:19:45.460
measures of going against this kind of radical modern modern monetary theory just print money
00:19:51.300
uh democrats and establishment republicans or did they understand the scale of this crisis sir
00:19:57.240
you know we've always heard i guess for the last year 30 trillion uh in debt you know when you add
00:20:04.400
social security medicaid medicare i would make the arguments more like 60 now your average american
00:20:10.020
that really uh didn't mean that much because it didn't affect them but you ask the constituent
00:20:15.980
whether it's in south carolina or anywhere in this country the what are they feeling in the pocketbook
00:20:22.340
when they go to buy gas what are they feeling uh when they go to buy groceries uh the crime the you
00:20:28.660
know all the above and yes that's why it's sinking in and yes something's got to change and see that the
00:20:34.820
i'm not willing and a lot of others are not willing to say well we've got to have a happy
00:20:41.100
meeting because the senate we can't get it by the senate well i'm not in the senate and we do what we
00:20:46.660
can in the house and i won't and i told kevin this months ago i want a ron de santis type speaker
00:20:53.000
there's only one state that had a red wave and i would make the argument that the reason ron de santis
00:20:58.520
uh is popular and got the support that he did all across the board from school board to
00:21:04.880
house and senate in florida is because he laid out a vision he did what he said and that's what we're
00:21:11.020
going to have to do and you know i just don't think kevin he would have negotiated with us long
00:21:16.600
before now the only reason and he's i just before i went on uh on the call with you he wanted to call
00:21:23.300
a meeting of all of us when we get back on tuesday which i'm fine but the time has passed for him to
00:21:30.660
lay the vision out but the answer to your question is absolutely because they're feeling it they don't
00:21:35.660
can't comprehend a trillion dollars neither can i when you look at what we're uh saddling our children
00:21:42.780
with but uh it's it's now never in my mind and we can't say the biden administration not going to pass
00:21:49.340
they're not going to do anything it's our it's our job to handcuff them as best we can and a new speaker
00:21:54.760
that will fight will do that you you know over the last week since you guys have had this vote you
00:22:00.960
know he's had comers come forward with a pretty aggressive investigations of uh of hunter biden which
00:22:07.320
we're going to get into later in the show you've had jim jordan looks like off the chain on fauci and
00:22:11.700
other things they're at the border today for a photo op to talk about you know stopping the evasion of
00:22:17.460
the southern border has any of the activities of kevin mccarthy since that vote and since you
00:22:23.100
confronted him about the seriousness and by the way the rcs of the republican study committee's
00:22:27.880
uh plan they put out that seven years you actually get to a balanced budget and it does take it's got
00:22:32.780
some severe cuts in discretionary spending has anything happened since that meeting that's led
00:22:39.020
you to believe that maybe it's a wake-up call for mccarthy and maybe i'll be open next tuesday when he
00:22:43.600
comes in and makes his argument sir you know i mean all those things are given steve the the
00:22:50.020
investigations yes and as i told james calmer the other week i said james what i will help you do
00:22:56.280
is let's have consequences let's just don't have the investigation i mean the the evidence is there
00:23:01.760
on hunter biden i think on joe biden the evidence is there but let's let's make sure we can or take the
00:23:08.320
steps to get the legal help to prosecute them uh but there's so many other things i mean and kevin
00:23:15.160
made a great statement about going after you know uh the using the holman rule to defund the 85 000 rsh
00:23:23.140
just that's you know we can that's that's a given but i kind of considered that if if and i'm a real
00:23:30.080
estate developer if a house is on fire uh somebody tell me they're going to move the shrubs and take the
00:23:36.060
algae out of the pool how are you going to put the fire out in the house that's the thing i'm
00:23:40.540
concerned about our military is at the lowest has ever been the mandatory spending is now over 71
00:23:48.220
percent military is down i think to 14 to 15 percent we just if you're broke you can't do anything and i
00:23:55.440
made a pledge that i wasn't sent to congress to bankrupt it and with kevin mccarthy i think he will do
00:24:01.660
you know if i'm wrong and if he gets it uh he'll do the obvious but you know where is he on section 230
00:24:09.760
taking out big tech on uh what they did to you and others i mean how's he gonna fight that we should
00:24:15.340
have had a plan and there's no different than if i pledge you to build your house i think you got a
00:24:20.740
right to ask me what kind of house give me your vision give me the blueprints he has not done that
00:24:25.100
and the time is gone for that and that's why i came out when i did congressman norman people are going
00:24:31.080
to want to follow you very closely do you know your social media or the website that people go to
00:24:35.980
they find out more about you more about your constituents and more about your policy positions
00:24:40.460
yes rep ralph norman.com rep ralph norman.com we'll get it up on all of our chat rooms and on the site
00:24:48.860
congressman norman thank you for taking time away from your busy schedule to join us today
00:24:52.840
my pleasure thank you steve thank you sir let me bring in steve cortez uh brother cortez or have
00:25:00.640
cortez brother cortez um i think congressman norman let's leave the mccarthy that's for
00:25:07.260
people to decide i want the audience to jump in here but certainly about the hard this is what i
00:25:11.660
keep saying all the easy decisions are in back of us about the hard decisions regarding uh about the
00:25:17.560
hard decisions regarding the the financial uh crisis of the country congressman norman's dead spot on is
00:25:24.420
he not sir no he certainly is and uh look and i believe that kevin mccarthy is not the lion that
00:25:31.040
we need right now to rise to that occasion and i say that based on the evidence of his past behavior
00:25:36.480
you know congressman gates mentioned how he betrayed president trump following jan 6 when things were tough
00:25:42.920
for the president tough for the maga movement he secretly conspired with liz cheney to try to force
00:25:48.280
president trump prematurely from office he then later lied about it and got caught in that lie by rachel
00:25:53.260
maddow somebody i don't praise very often but she did a great service for the country by outing him
00:25:58.340
through investigative journalism and producing the receipts that he lied about that uh he also let's
00:26:03.120
go to on the record stuff he believes of course in in escalating the war in ukraine which has been
00:26:07.500
disastrous not just for our national security but also for our economic security and by the way speaking
00:26:12.680
of economic security here's another reason i think we can't trust kevin mccarthy is his extremely
00:26:17.860
close professional relationship with frank luntz and not just that but his personal relationship
00:26:22.660
with frank luntz they're actually roommates which i find to be beyond strange or they were at one time
00:26:27.500
anyway frank luntz is the exact opposite of our movement's insistence on promoting the prerogatives
00:26:33.800
of working class americans he is literally a stooge of the ruling class he is in many ways
00:26:39.020
their media mouthpiece and he is extremely close professionally and personally with kevin mccarthy
00:26:44.580
we get all of that taken in totality tells me there is no way that this man can rise to the
00:26:49.200
occasion to be the lion we need to start healing this nation particularly when the house of
00:26:53.280
representatives right now in washington dc is the only lever that we have now it's a huge lever
00:26:57.860
very significant lever but right now it's our only lever okay so we cannot entrust the house
00:27:03.060
to speaker mccarthy in my view and i think both gates and norman they are both patriots they are smart
00:27:09.060
congressmen and they're right here and believe me this story is far from over steve
00:27:12.740
no no what about norman's hey when i asked kevin he's going to balance the budget and look the rcs
00:27:19.560
budget is a tough budget gets you there in seven years he just said no outright and he's looking
00:27:24.300
for somebody he knows that you're going to have to have these massive fights on appropriation does he
00:27:28.460
not uh steve cortez he does because he knows what time it is in america right now not just politically
00:27:33.680
but financially in an era of rising interest rates so this country got addicted to low interest rates
00:27:38.940
that uh that lasted for far too long because of what the federal reserve and the rest of permanent
00:27:43.120
washington did to the country suppressing interest rates artificially and the reality is we because
00:27:49.720
those rates were artificially low steve we were able to get away with things that we can no longer
00:27:53.680
get away with now yeah uh steve can you hang on for one second steve cortez joins us by phone we got
00:27:59.520
some charts to go through dave wash gonna join us on energy over in egypt we agreed to reparations and
00:28:06.180
we pointed the finger at china and guess what no respect absolutely got our face ripped off

war room here's your host steven k back okay welcome back uh matt gates now joins us uh matt real quickly
00:29:53.040
congressman norman uh his issue is that understanding the financial crisis the country's in and only going
00:30:00.700
to get worse particularly on spending out of control spending the debts and everything like that he
00:30:04.660
doesn't think kevin mccarthy has really because the question he asked him in the conference doesn't
00:30:09.820
think that he's really committed to having to stand up to the not just radical democrats but even the
00:30:16.540
establishment republicans that just want to keep this madness of this massive spending the omnibus bill this
00:30:21.860
time is going to be what a trillion three and a half two trillion dollars and and norman brings a good
00:30:26.360
point up we never talk about it that it's 31 trillion dollars a face amount of debt it's nine
00:30:30.900
and a half trillion over at the at the uh at the treasury gets you to afford and he thinks there's
00:30:35.820
another 20 30 trillion dollars of of basically hard obligations in front of you for the uh for social
00:30:42.540
security medicaid and medicare so um it was very much of a hard no i want to ask you why we got you
00:30:50.400
though about the special counsel the special counsel there's been a lot of information put up by mike
00:30:54.400
davis paul sperry over the new york post about uh his wife is a radical trump hater not just a supporter
00:31:02.860
anybody can support other candidates but i mean she's a virulent hater of donald trump is that not
00:31:09.440
such a conflict that he's got to recuse himself i mean how can he go forward to special counsel
00:31:13.940
knowing his wife is is one of the leaders in the not never trump but the pure out hate trump movement
00:31:20.640
steve you have to wonder whether or not at the department of justice they even
00:31:25.620
check these things or if the buy-in is actually the point let's remember this is an appointment of a
00:31:31.880
special counsel that is explicitly political in his announcement of the appointment merrick garland
00:31:38.880
said i am doing this because donald trump has announced that he is running for president again
00:31:44.220
and because joe biden has indicated his intention to run for president again and so you would
00:31:49.980
think that if the stated purpose to avoid any type of concern about bias or sincere that they would at
00:31:59.640
least check to see whether or not when you shake the family tree of the special counsel any virulent
00:32:06.220
trump haters never trumpers biden supporters fall out and this is deja vu all over again because of
00:32:13.700
course we saw muller assemble a team that had very well demonstrated bias against president trump
00:32:20.380
one has to wonder if we shouldn't address this legislatively so that in the future whether it's
00:32:25.620
republicans or democrats being investigated you don't have the very people in the throes of the
00:32:31.820
political conflict trying to migrate their political grievance into the criminal justice process that's
00:32:38.820
what we see in the poorest third world countries on the planet earth it's not what we should be seeing
00:32:45.100
in the united states of america but i don't want to sit around hand wringing and bedwetting over this
00:32:50.920
i think we ought to use the power of the purse to defund this explicitly political exercise against
00:32:57.000
president trump so you're saying if if merrick garland doesn't do the proper thing and just
00:33:02.460
remove smith uh or if smith doesn't do the honorable thing and recuse himself because of his bias and his
00:33:09.420
wife's obviously hatred hatred trump you're saying that the the house ought to throw down hard and just
00:33:15.420
defund the entire thing correct of course because there is no rhyme or reason to this how can you say
00:33:23.120
that we have to have a special counsel any special counsel to go after trump because of politics and
00:33:29.620
the need to separate the department of justice from this decision making when you've got hunter biden
00:33:34.920
committing documented crimes and you've got the white house chief of staff ron quain saying oh of course
00:33:43.880
joe biden doesn't believe his son has committed any crimes so i mean there is no standard here that
00:33:50.860
would hold up to any reasonable objective scrutiny about even the appointment of the special counsel
00:33:56.600
then you get into the specifics of who the person is and another thing i noted that's very different
00:34:02.640
from typical justice department practice there is such a focus on haste here and the timing i mean in
00:34:09.500
merrick garland's announcement he said over and over again how he wanted this to be done promptly and he
00:34:15.440
wanted this to be done quickly and usually the justice department actually takes pride in how
00:34:20.400
judicious they are how they review potential defenses get all the evidence and then in jack
00:34:26.160
smith's statement that he put out he talks about how the investigation will not in any way suffer a delay
00:34:33.300
under him and there seems to be a calculation based on a political clock not based on the review of the
00:34:42.600
facts and the law and evidence uh and it just sinks to high heaven so yeah if the department of justice
00:34:49.060
wants to play these games we should not sit idly by as america is like converted into rwanda instead
00:34:57.080
we ought to fight back with the power of the purse that's what the people have given us and i'm far more
00:35:02.980
concerned about the well i guess the categorizing derogatory about hunter biden is russian disinformation
00:35:12.740
than i am about whatever dispute president trump is in with the archivist
00:35:17.280
matt uh gates how do people follow you on social media where they go
00:35:22.880
at matt gates at rep matt gates we're on getter we're on twitter we're on truth social and uh we're
00:35:30.840
we're spitting the truth and we're going to hold this corrupt regime accountable
00:35:34.160
councillor gates thank you very much for joining us appreciate it thank you let me go back to state
00:35:41.660
i've got cortez i got dave walsh michael patrick lay he's going to join us we got a lot we're going
00:35:45.500
to go to arizona a lot to get through but we're going to get there first off cortez uh your your
00:35:51.100
thoughts of the special counsel and particularly the mrs special counsel looks like an abundance of just
00:35:57.920
pure trump hate right you agree with do you agree with the gates that we got to defund it or should
00:36:03.320
garland uh should garland fire the guy or should the guy recuse himself what what's the best option
00:36:09.480
clearly it can't go forward like this this is impossible right and the democrats are on notice
00:36:14.520
it's impossible we're not going to stand for this kind of crap this is what you did for for the
00:36:19.300
russia gate thing it's just more nonsense and people have had a belly full of it okay so your
00:36:23.400
thoughts cortez no 100 and by the way this just further uh you know embodies and reveals to the
00:36:29.320
public the intense systemic corruption of permanent washington the fact that they they thought they
00:36:35.580
could pass this over on us right i mean it's insane uh and so if he has any honor he'll recuse
00:36:40.520
himself not holding my breath garland should fire him again not holding my breath which means that the
00:36:45.480
power of the purse again this lever that i talked about previously the lever of power that we have because
00:36:50.020
we earned it winning over the gavel from nancy pelosi the house of representatives it must be
00:36:54.320
used because this is a second sham special counsel and it's not by the way just his wife's conflicts
00:37:00.040
we also look at his own past as a prosecutor particularly related to bob mcdonald the former
00:37:04.740
governor of virginia that was an absolute witch hunt prosecution and i wasn't a fan of bob mcdonald much
00:37:10.560
more of an establishment republican you know not my taste politically but the point is he was persecuted
00:37:15.800
for political reasons because he was starting to gain currency among national republicans in the
00:37:20.800
country and he went after him with a political witch hunt he weaponized a prosecution that was later
00:37:26.240
overturned nine to zero at the supreme court a rarity you don't see that very often but that's how
00:37:32.520
out of bounds jack smith was in his persecution of bob mcdonald why would we not believe that he's going
00:37:38.500
to do the same thing against donald trump when if anything him he he certainly has far more personal
00:37:45.140
vitriol toward trump than he did versus mcdonald yeah and the wife she knows he's guilty as hell
00:37:50.620
she she she's hiding she took down our social media put it back up i mean we went to the way back
00:37:55.800
machine we got you dead to rights but put it back up you guys are so tough talking and all this and as
00:38:00.980
soon as they as soon as they put the spotlight on they run like cockroaches right put your social
00:38:05.960
if you hate trump put it back up what are you hiding for we're gonna out everything about you people go
00:38:11.900
ahead sir the other thing is garland just simply doesn't have the guts right to do this prosecution
00:38:16.920
himself because if he believes in it he should this is not the the intent at all of the special
00:38:22.240
counsel statute that would be if he were investigating biden okay his exactly that's when the special
00:38:28.020
counsel is called for so for example investigating the hunter laptop and how it leads to the big guy
00:38:33.320
joe biden that is the appropriate use of a special counsel there's no conflict here he doesn't work
00:38:37.760
for trump he doesn't answer to trump quite the opposite in fact he's incredibly antagonistic
00:38:42.180
toward trump uh so if he had any guts he actually would issue this indictment himself he doesn't and
00:38:47.920
he's trying to create distance i think largely because he fears people like matt gates who are
00:38:52.060
suddenly going to come into power uh subpoena power you know particularly when it comes to the
00:38:56.340
new incoming house garland's on the on the watch list for impeachment trust me garland's going to get
00:39:01.820
impeached and if they force him to resign or have biden firing before he gets removed from office but
00:39:06.820
you know for a guy that his reputation was everything we're going to tear your reputation
00:39:11.760
apart because wait for it you suck okay i hate to let me just cut to the chase cortez um to ralph
00:39:20.780
norman's about his constituents and i want you to go you get a magnificent article you connect out to
00:39:26.480
ukraine i mean they're up there talking about 37 billion dollars but that's just that's just the
00:39:31.340
that's just the beginning the the russians have destroyed as you said they're going to do all their
00:39:35.740
infrastructure so now they're going to come back it's going to be 200 billion dollars a year to
00:39:39.380
keep them just afloat that doesn't include the reconstruction which they're saying 750 billion
00:39:45.100
to a trillion right and that's their opening number so it'll be three times that plus that didn't include
00:39:49.420
the military part we're just talking about how you how you fund the operations because now you got an
00:39:53.700
entire failed nation brought about because reasonable heads didn't get together and now zelinski
00:40:00.260
because he fears the republicans and quite frankly the maga movement is going to say no not a penny
00:40:05.680
now all of a sudden he's prepared to try to negotiate but but you you've done a brilliant
00:40:10.900
job of comparing and contrasting the ukraine fiasco to how it's impacting ordinary americans
00:40:17.000
take it away sir yes so and i have a brand new article up on this on substack you know we came very
00:40:22.520
close last week to a new russian missile crisis you know only this one didn't involve actual soviet
00:40:28.460
missiles and it wasn't 90 miles away this one is 5 000 miles away and in fact the missiles that hit
00:40:33.640
poland were from ukraine not from russia um and yet zelinski tried to goad and shame nato into getting
00:40:41.640
into a kinetic shooting war with russia over this scam this idea these missiles in fact came from
00:40:47.740
russia uh thankfully cooler heads quickly prevailed and both poland as well as nato have contradicted
00:40:53.520
zelinski who still has refused to back down by the way has not apologized has not even recognized
00:40:58.180
that his inflammatory incendiary rhetoric that is trying to get the united states into world war
00:41:03.540
three was a complete lie they were his missiles and it was either incompetence or him doing something
00:41:10.260
even more sinister right trying to actually create um a reason a pretext to get the united states in the
00:41:15.500
war but regardless what i do in the article is contrast the amount of money that we have spent there
00:41:19.800
and i think a lot of folks don't realize just how big it already is and it can become and contrast
00:41:24.600
that with the plight of working class americans right now and steve you sent me an article uh which
00:41:29.720
opened my eyes even as pessimistic as i've been on the economy right now in america the median worker
00:41:36.180
to afford the median price department needs to work 63 hours a week an all-time high not a 40-hour work
00:41:44.360
week no it is time and a half and then a few more hours on top of that if you work a five-day week
00:41:50.300
you need to work from eight in the morning till eight at night just to afford a median priced
00:41:56.300
apartment forget about luxuries in life forget about having dependents by the way about perhaps
00:42:00.740
having uh several children and perhaps a stay-at-home spouse okay that's just to pay the bare necessities
00:42:06.040
so at this time when americans have to work literally time and a half to afford the necessities
00:42:11.500
of life we have shoveled over 50 billion dollars so far to ukraine if biden gets what he wants in this
00:42:18.860
lame duck session we will get to over 90 billion dollars just in this calendar year for ukraine
00:42:25.060
to put that in context steve that is twice as much as we spent on average in the american war
00:42:30.620
in afghanistan okay that disastrous two decade long adventure as costly as that was in human terms
00:42:37.520
certainly and also in treasure uh it was not costly compared to what we are doing in ukraine that's the
00:42:43.880
scale of the spending right now and the american people need to realize that need to demand and
00:42:48.800
this lame duck session no new spending on ukraine and then when the incoming uh republican house
00:42:54.320
takes control not only no new spending on ukraine but demanding that zelensky and and kiev and moscow

00:45:26.160
okay uh steve cortez about this being a depression for the american people walk me through that sir
00:45:33.360
yes and particularly for working class folks most working class people don't buy new cars particularly
00:45:38.820
in this environment they buy used cars and i want to show a couple of charts if we can go to the
00:45:43.760
first slide chart one which is a headline from the wall street journal talking about the firm
00:45:48.400
carvana carvana is in particular trouble okay and it has some company specific problems because it took
00:45:54.000
on so much debt but even though it's the most egregious example it is hardly the only example
00:45:58.760
of a company that is being punished by these twin forces these twin headwinds of rising interest
00:46:05.220
rates making the debt unsustainable and then also cratering demand for used cars because working
00:46:10.420
class people have been so imperiled by this biden inflation so if we can go to chart number two
00:46:15.660
to prove my point that it's not carvana specific only carvana is the worst example it has lost
00:46:20.660
97 of its value in the last year i also put carmax up there to show a company that is it seems to be in
00:46:28.760
better shape financially but it's still absolutely flailing as far as its stock price carmax is down
00:46:34.280
55 percent over the last year so the trend in both of them while it's worse than carvana the trend in
00:46:40.360
both of them is demonstrably from the upper left to the lower right for those who can see the charts and
00:46:45.960
my point here is the used car market is an absolute free fall let's stop with the academic debates about
00:46:52.000
whether or not we're in recession we are in a very deep recession for working class americans a recession
00:46:58.020
that is teetering on the edge of a depression if we don't start to take action and that's the reality
00:47:03.520
that's what what regular working class americans are living with at the same time again just hearkening
00:47:08.600
back to the last segment at the same time that we're sending tens of billions of dollars over to
00:47:13.220
zelensky so he can try to goad us into world war three you're a hard no on you would tell these guys
00:47:18.820
coming back in the lame duck you're a hard no the american people you're a hard no on any additional
00:47:23.220
support for ukraine let europe deal it deal with that and let's zelensky get to the table and and get
00:47:28.400
this thing put to bed correct basically your bottom line on this 100 the answer is zero thank you
00:47:37.100
steve cortez your stuff up on sub stacks amazing how do people get to all your different content
00:47:41.740

lay with the arizona paper he started he's going to join us about every all these counties things up
00:48:03.140
to four counties now saying they're not prepared to certify the election out there they're going to
00:48:07.240
delay it to next week to see what maricopa does and answering the response to the attorney general
00:48:10.960
but i want to stay in economics and in particularly in energy uh dave walsh you've done an amazing job
00:48:17.340
on on all this but the guardian has a uh the guardian has an article up that says that after the united
00:48:24.540
states drove the reparations discussion and set up the framework hoping it would get us allies to say
00:48:30.660
hey you're such good guys and you're really you know john kerry and joe biden you're you're really
00:48:35.300
uh feeling and you're in your you know you really embrace uh you know you really embrace us and yes
00:48:41.460
isn't china bad the ccp's bad the exact opposite happened no love just mockery and they're just
00:48:48.960
saying hey this is just the start of uh of something massive you actually quoted yesterday that it's four
00:48:55.440
to seven trillion dollars a year you where did you pull that out from dave walsh that's been reported
00:49:00.780
in the indian media in a very detailed uh analysis of the weekend negotiations by the committee
00:49:08.360
the committee that's working on kicking the can down the road to next year's cop meeting to finalize
00:49:14.000
how this is going to work as the articulated implementation required per annum for this to
00:49:21.060
be effective is four to six trillion per year in reparations or loss and damage funding to the
00:49:28.000
nations that have been damaged that's their target that emerged according to indian news reports in
00:49:33.380
the negotiations on sunday it's huge it's huge and of course to this article today by the guardian
00:49:39.400
yeah of course when 120 to 130 nations in the world would be happy recipients of that kind of money
00:49:46.460
from western europe and north america of course they're going to be clamoring that we were disingenuous
00:49:52.400
in bringing this up in the first place and then wanting china to participate china who
00:49:56.900
emits 30 percent of the world co2 if it matters and we need to get to that because we're we're
00:50:03.140
missing the key point here this this whole discussion is a bogus one at the core at the science core
00:50:08.580
but china emits 30 percent of the globe co2 all of the eeu 28 nations plus the u.s and japan emit
00:50:15.340
about 27 percent of it so china is if we're really going to worry about this china put an override on the
00:50:22.520
cost of your exports we we have a net balance of trade negative with china half a half a tree in a
00:50:28.460
year go ahead and put a price adder on those to cover cleaning up your coal plants do that the wto
00:50:34.620
would be supportive of that wto has all kinds of regulations on fair trade and on fair contracting
00:50:41.180
between countries if indeed you're polluting badly and you need to have an override in cost to go ahead
00:50:47.160
and pay for the scrubbers and the back end environmental controls on your power plants
00:50:51.480
please do that with the money you receive for imports for exports rather they're importing here
00:50:56.660
half a tree in a year in product over what we export to them put an override in price to pay for this if
00:51:02.380
it's a problem they've got the resources to do it they've clearly got the resources to do it
00:51:07.100
that's a you know if this is an issue and they deem it to be one that's how it should be funded
00:51:10.800
price price for it price for it and do it yourself hang on and so you have price discovery but
00:51:16.720
correct me if i'm wrong china has not changed one item they do a little happy talk but they
00:51:23.860
haven't changed one item in their industrial plant and how they how they provide energy to that
00:51:29.860
manufacturing industrial powerhouse whereas the west does backflips you got all this madness with
00:51:35.900
the biden administration it's one of the reasons that we're in this right so we change radically
00:51:40.080
they've got the the third world nations are going to have these programs and never let them get to
00:51:45.120
really development yet china keeps rolling this is the problem with the paris accord how did biden
00:51:51.820
in these radical cult of climate folks get into this jam dave brett or dave walsh
00:51:58.180
well i think i mean we've documented in this forum pretty pretty effectively that they've been paid
00:52:04.840
in part for their privilege through hunter's conduit of funding to to his father over time to be
00:52:11.380
heavily influenced by their positions but of course we've got the a huge amount of our commercial
00:52:17.440
enterprise in big tech and the media also china is a huge customer for them they get very they get
00:52:24.700
very shifted by that funds flow to siding with their positioning on things because the actual fact
00:52:30.020
for example on coal-fired generation xi jinping has been at 59 percent of his total mix has promised to get
00:52:35.940
58 and hold that percentage for the next 15 years that implies nine percent per year growth in coal
00:52:41.920
fire to power generation he said he's going to increase it dave just hang over a second it's so sick
00:52:49.800
it's not funny but short break dave walsh michael patrick leahe on the other side
