00:00:10.600
these people here's the time i got a free shot all these networks lying about the people the
00:00:16.760
people have had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do
00:00:20.740
everything in the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and
00:00:24.080
where do people like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of
00:00:31.920

00:00:39.020
is to save my country this country will be saved war here's your host stephen k vat
00:00:47.400
81 years ago today 7 december 1941 uh what uh got the united states actively into the kinetic part
00:00:58.220
of the uh of world war ii uh the continuation of the great war of the 20th century the really
00:01:04.480
curtain came down on that with the fall of the berlin wall in tiananmen square in the
00:01:09.540
the late 80s beginning the early 90s um like i said there've been seven i think there's seven
00:01:16.820
pearl harbor commissions investigations all of it many many many many many questions still up
00:01:23.580
on pearl harbor i think that's the beginning of people saying well hang over a second because
00:01:26.740
people don't realize this that as we were fighting the war this whole pearl harbor controversy was
00:01:32.100
quite big quite big and admiral kimmel's family to till today still fights to have his name cleared
00:01:39.460
the admiral that was in charge of the pacific fleet headquartered out of pearl um
00:01:44.160
so and we'll talk about more about that maybe i've got maybe this afternoon where i can go
00:01:49.640
through more of it because it's it's relevant to today up on capitol hill i know people are very
00:01:55.000
upset about georgia you should be upset about georgia we gave them a seat let's be blunt we gave
00:01:59.180
them a seat um what's happening on capitol hill right now the power moves the power struggles are like
00:02:06.660
it's shakespearean you have and this is why it's so important and i you know i've been a big
00:02:12.340
advocate president trump ought to be more engaged on this i just don't think he's engaged enough
00:02:16.940
and as you know we're the centerpiece of the uh media for the trump movement for support of
00:02:23.040
president trump but you got to call them you got to call balls and strikes like you see them they
00:02:26.440
got to be more engaged what's and here's why they are structurally doing things right now
00:02:30.940
that are not just detrimental to the overall country but are going to handcuff a second trump
00:02:36.560
presidency the omnibus bill the defense authorization act amnesty and debt ceiling those four and there's
00:02:42.660
many more they're working on trust me they got stuff working all over the place electoral count
00:02:46.240
act i can go up and down but i'm talking about these big four uh and i think because i see now
00:02:51.120
thune and people i think maybe the debt ceiling we've put to bed amnesty is still out there although
00:02:56.120
josh hawley lee the populace member came out and said over my dead body will they do amnesty and
00:03:01.680
the lame duck because you need a national consensus on that we have an invasion on the southern border
00:03:05.600
it's even obscene to be talking about and spending time on and by the way dick durbin and lindsey
00:03:10.460
graham got their hands all over that they got tillis as their front guy but lindsey graham's hands he'd
00:03:14.440
been fighting he'd been working this non-stop ever since i was in the way ever since i've known him he's
00:03:19.900
a huge open borders guy um you've got the defense authorization which is now 800 for almost a trillion
00:03:25.960
dollars but it's totally woke this is why recruitment in the south has collapsed because of the wokeness in
00:03:32.480
there and they're giving us a tip about the vaccines going forward there's supposed to be a
00:03:35.720
huge republican win anytime the media says huge republican win remember they're trying to cover
00:03:40.720
up something the omnibus is probably the most offensive because a couple weeks we can certainly
00:03:45.520
wait we've kicked the can down the road in this thing all the time it's no urgency to get this done
00:03:50.040
this is just about paying off lobbyists corporate sponsors for shelby and these guys are all going to
00:03:54.120
be leaving in the democrats this omnibus is going to be a couple you know trillion three and a half
00:03:58.620
dollars totally unfunded completely unfunded and by the way it's going to happen again nine months
00:04:02.760
in september it's going to happen another year this is a system we're at the end of this road
00:04:09.140
we're not we're at uh we're just the end of it and but how do you start to get the end and so what
00:04:15.200
you have to do you have to have smart tough people russ vote is probably one of the smartest guys not
00:04:19.340
the smartest guy about the complexity and what's really in the budget are the appropriations well you
00:04:25.820
know how money comes in but more importantly how it gets spent and how it gets monitored to see
00:04:30.580
programmatically what's even if what's working and what's not working he's worked with his
00:04:36.060
organization to come up with a balanced budget here's why it's important we're going to try to
00:04:39.240
pull the the clip here for later in the hour um it ties directly to the fight it ties directly to
00:04:46.500
what's going on and the power moves about who's in charge starting early part of next year and here's
00:04:51.640
why until we get control of the spending until you get control of the spending everything else is
00:04:57.280
kind of a side issue because right now we're at a precipice right and we have to show that we can
00:05:04.260
do this we have to show we have the world this is why the american people put the put gave the house
00:05:10.260
of representatives to to the republicans remember we had over six million more votes one is to stop the
00:05:15.100
madness of biden spending to do that you have to have a pathway of eventually how to get to a balanced
00:05:20.820
budget ralph norman this congressman from south carolina who's kind of i'm not saying a back
00:05:26.960
bencher but has never really been at the forefront publicly he said he asked kevin mccarthy in that
00:05:31.680
private session they had a week ago he said look i got a question here's what i want to know most
00:05:36.620
because this is the this is the thing itself this is what's important this is signal not noise
00:05:41.760
where do you stand on this republican study committee or vote these guys working on this been working for a
00:05:47.360
long time on this balanced budget that balances i think in seven years kevin where do you stand on
00:05:52.640
that well won't do it not interested not going to happen boom ralph norman said at that moment he
00:05:58.220
became a hard no he said if you're not prepared to do that fight then everything else is just happy
00:06:03.060
talk so i want to bring in russ vote i think today russ we're going to start rolling out what you've been
00:06:07.980
working on and this is going to be a centerpiece of going forward because hey the the left-wing media is
00:06:14.600
going to be all over this is the cruel heartless republicans that are now trying to take food out
00:06:20.540
of the mouths of babies right but somebody's got to step up and say we can't because otherwise you're
00:06:25.680
just going to have these omnibus bills every 12 months unfunded to train to have to train and that's
00:06:32.920
without the financing charges the scam is they don't really even bake that into the system the financing
00:06:37.680
charges now are going to be another trillion dollars so here's where you get these silos of trillions
00:06:41.960
train for over train for social security over train for medicaid over train for medicare
00:06:47.440
over a trillion for national defense and now a trillion for let's throw a train in there for
00:06:52.720
financing the five trillions the five building blocks of this um russ vote walk us through what
00:06:59.160
you guys have come up with and talk about the process first and what do you have and how we're
00:07:03.740
going to roll it out sure thanks steve for the opportunity so this is really really timely as you
00:07:09.420
mentioned because it is specifically written for the fiscal 23 year that they are appropriating or
00:07:15.260
spending money to right now in this lame duck and by the way we are on the cusp of having a major
00:07:20.400
victory as a result of this show in being able to get that pumped uh pumped over into the new year
00:07:27.080
with a short-term cr so that the new majority can use this budget to turn that into law and that we
00:07:34.140
did that intentionally so you have a kevin mccarthy that's out there saying number one you just can't get
00:07:38.980
the balance we wanted to prove that wrong we'd already proved it wrong in the trump administration
00:07:43.220
but we wanted to do it in a 10-year period which is the typical budget window and we wanted to say
00:07:48.840
look we're going to do it within the constraints of how we wrote the trump budgets we're going to do it
00:07:53.660
in 10 years and we're going to give you the moral high ground in a way that you've never had before
00:07:58.660
and really that's what we're trying to do is that this has always been a debate about well two people
00:08:05.120
agree on a program existing section eight housing uh cdc funding and we're just talking about whether
00:08:12.140
you can afford it or not you've got to get out of the affordability this is not about bureaucracy that
00:08:18.500
is good for the country and should just be afforded uh spent based on what you can afford this is money
00:08:26.160
that is being put it was putting sewage in your community when you have a million and a half going to
00:08:31.620
the university of texas to train teachers on how to do critical race theory and social emotional
00:08:37.980
learning and math that's sewage into your school that's that's not teacher improvement to make sure
00:08:43.880
they teach math better that's way of figuring out how to have marxist revolutionaries in your schools
00:08:49.740
recruit more marxist revolutionaries in your school and so we're trying to say with this budget
00:08:54.640
we're dealing with statesmen here or we're trying to lead and and be able to create statesmen and
00:09:00.200
everyone on this show is a statesman at the local level and so that's not single issue voting that
00:09:06.020
is okay you've got multiple threats you have a fiscal threat of 31 trillion dollars in debt
00:09:10.320
and you've got this woke and weaponized bureaucracy that is immediately arrayed against the american
00:09:16.580
people what do you do about that you've got to merge them you've got to say that this bureaucracy
00:09:21.500
exists because of the funding sources that is causing our fiscal imbalances and by merging them all of a
00:09:28.740
sudden you've given yourself a strategic moral high ground to be able to go after these spendings
00:09:34.320
in a way that busts the cartel in a fundamental way so just the bottom line what we're trying to do
00:09:39.640
this strategically we're trying to delegitimize the regime we're trying to show you what the regime is like
00:09:46.860
this is not foreign aid which i would oppose anyways this is spending money to train lgbt activists
00:09:53.560
in senegal this is to have drag queen theaters in ecuador this is about having a bob dylan statute
00:10:01.200
in mozambique this is about funding gay pride parades in prague that's what you are getting
00:10:07.140
with your money and we want to be able to delegitimize the regime and then starve it of
00:10:13.300
every dollar that is going to the to what is woke and weaponized i just want to make sure people
00:10:19.040
you're saying the administrative state and the rogue part the deep state part of that
00:10:22.760
is perpetuated by these massive this five and a half trillion the particularly the unfunded
00:10:29.880
discretionary spending you're merging the crisis in the debt right in the exploding interest rates
00:10:35.960
with the administrative state this is leviathan this is the beast and every time you spend a penny
00:10:41.980
you're feeding that beast so let's figure out how we deconstruct the beast by cutting off the money
00:10:48.100
program by program is that essentially your theory of the case that's the theory of the case that is
00:10:53.740
the central threat that statesmen need to rise to and what they have been go ahead hang on it's taken
00:11:01.600
30 years to get their vote you know that because but go back to how people used to think about it if
00:11:08.220
you think about it in this construct if you think about it in that framing you'll get to a solution
00:11:13.620
but the fight just to get there has been pretty monumental right i mean we're still not there
00:11:18.000
trust me we're starting it but before it was all about affordability right correct this is a major
00:11:24.300
shift in the overton window no that's exactly right i mean like i used to have these debates about stuff
00:11:30.780
that i wanted to fund you know the wall or the navy uh or you know nasa space exploration things that
00:11:37.400
conservatives want and i'd say well you know what's the delta what do i need to be able to fund what we
00:11:42.980
really need and they'd say five billion i was like well why are we even having this conversation take
00:11:48.100
it from some place in hud that doesn't need it and so we've been trapped in these paradigms and then
00:11:53.080
you look at that funding you just took it from hud and you're thinking oh man i really i really hurt
00:11:57.160
the the homelessness issue or i'm gonna really have to explain that but then you realize and you
00:12:02.860
realize that section eight housing is this massive program that's leading to crime in our
00:12:08.460
neighborhoods that's leading to uh depressed home values then you realize there's a fair housing
00:12:14.100
network that's funded by the hud that's all they do is a bunch of left-wing activism that's designed
00:12:19.460
to break up single-family zoning and so you've got to really begin to think through this is not about
00:12:25.460
affordability this is about specifically what do we want to fund and we're going to fund those and what
00:12:30.460
are we not going to fund because they're our enemy and we're going to defund that in an increasingly
00:12:35.700
accurate way and so this is the start of it did we get everything no but we've got a lot of it
00:12:41.280
and we're going to keep going after the bureaucracy each and every opportunity that we have before we
00:12:47.820
go to break and i'm gonna get cortez in here at the break let me um walk me through how in 10 years
00:12:54.520
had just the macro how do you get to balance now that you do your two trillion dollars not counting the
00:13:02.100
interest cost on discretionary how do you even how do you even get this in 10 years to balance
00:13:08.660
sure uh here's the basic plan that we put forward number one you got to have economic growth
00:13:15.220
you can't not you can't balance the budget without economic growth and so we extend the tax cuts we
00:13:20.460
assume all the things that we would do in a trump administration and we get the economy growing at
00:13:25.340
three percent 3.1 next year and then 2.8 throughout the rest of the the window and that's critical
00:13:31.460
because if you don't grow the economy your target keeps getting bigger and the country is hurting
00:13:36.680
from unemployment and you just don't have an ability to have a political coalition to get it done so
00:13:41.740
that's step one the next one is spending restraint and you can't balance the budget without spending
00:13:47.920
reform and cuts so we're putting forward nine trillion dollars in spending cuts three trillion of
00:13:54.680
it is is focused on the woke and the weaponized bureaucracy well the lack of a red wave during the
00:14:00.780
midterms lead to a more emboldened biden more wasteful government spending higher taxes the
00:14:06.160
deepening of inflation and how do you protect your hard-earned savings from chaotic financial markets

00:15:03.000
use your agency here's your host stephen k bannon okay welcome back um i want to make sure that this
00:15:15.280
is uh this is uh the thing itself because this is going to drive so much of the conversation
00:15:20.260
um we've got russ vote restoring america has put together this budget different than the rc has got
00:15:26.300
some pretty big differences cortez give me your initial thoughts and then i want to get into some
00:15:30.560
more details of the russ sure well steve first of all this is incredibly exciting you know and i really
00:15:35.600
mean that as you know i'm kind of an economic and interest rate geek so this kind of talk is music to
00:15:40.780
my ears but it's so important for our entire country even if you're not really into those topics this
00:15:45.720
matters so much on the political side let me say that i hope kevin mccarthy will take this proposal
00:15:50.780
really seriously and read it i'm excited to read the details i hope he will do the same and consider
00:15:55.360
this i think that it would make his bid for the speakership much much stronger but on the economic
00:15:59.840
side too i want to talk about the interest rate component and russ i want to you know ask you about
00:16:04.120
this because i think this is critical on election day in 2020 when joe biden prevailed 10 year yield was
00:16:10.160
0.8 money was practically free which really uh amassed a lot of this budget profligacy right a lot
00:16:17.540
of our exorbitant borrowing and spending uh was was sort of allowed because of extremely low suppressed
00:16:24.320
artificially suppressed interest rates uh the 10 year yield is now four times that amount so debt service
00:16:29.500
costs really matter deficits really really matter all of a sudden all over the world we saw what
00:16:35.040
happened in the uk so russ what are your projections regarding interest rates and debt service costs
00:16:39.980
and how does that factor into your ability over 10 years to get us back to a balanced budget a place
00:16:45.120
of fiscal sanity you know every morning is what's that 10 year yield looking like and uh when i left
00:16:54.980
uh it was you know 80 basis points 90 basis points and uh we're looking at a situation where we had to
00:17:02.420
adjust for higher interest rates and we assume a three percent uh not because that's we're going to end
00:17:08.820
this year at 2022 but just in terms of the average over the course of the year and then we assume
00:17:13.960
that interest rates will go up higher in 2023 which is the main budget year of this proposal
00:17:18.480
to 3.9 and then we believe because this is post policy this is on the other side of our policy
00:17:24.780
changes that it will come down to 3.2 percent over the life of the window but we're not assuming that
00:17:30.280
we go back to kind of those glory days those heady days of you know the lords of easy money pumping a ton of
00:17:36.860
money into it of and depending on the u.s to be the reserve capital for the rest of eternity at at
00:17:42.740
at such low interest rates so that's kind of how we see the projection of this and we think that as
00:17:48.200
a result this is is is a more credible budget than you're going to see from the administration or even
00:17:53.020
cbo to some extent right and by the way i would just say you know as a guy who traded bonds for 25
00:17:58.260
years for a living i think you're approaching it exactly correctly assume first that interest rates
00:18:03.160
actually get worse from here because that's likely going to happen but then over time with a more
00:18:07.480
restrained budget with better economic growth because of it interest rates actually start to
00:18:11.380
come back down i think that's exactly the correct approach and really gives you i think a lot of
00:18:15.680
credibility to your projections yeah big time i i think and steve i think we can talk about some
00:18:20.320
assumptions because growth rate and interest rates and we want the audience you've got to get up to
00:18:24.520
speed on this nomenclature because this affects your personal life also your political life but your
00:18:30.460
personal life uh because russ is kind of laying out uh what the future could look like i want to
00:18:36.220
make sure though that there's some huge differences you guys have done and i want to make sure the
00:18:41.620
audience understands that and you get a chance to explain it in in these nine trillion dollars worth
00:18:46.760
of cuts three trillion uh from uh what programmatically and then nine trillion um it from it looks like from
00:18:55.600
existing i don't know medicaid you don't i just want to show the audience understands or six
00:18:59.840
strand you don't touch for beneficiaries social security or medicare right now are not really
00:19:06.280
touching this correct correct that's a major difference that we are intentionally making a
00:19:11.660
strategic play call very consistent with the the promises that president trump made when he ran for
00:19:18.060
office i wrote four of his budgets these were how we got to balance and we avoided cuts any cuts to
00:19:24.180
social security retirement and we made sure that any changes to medicare were not going to be cuts to
00:19:29.800
beneficiaries so we have changes to medicare uh things like prescription drug reforms when you have
00:19:35.820
prescription drug reforms you get 200 billion dollars in savings that lower the cost of the beneficiary
00:19:41.160
just by going and making sure that we're going to get the same price that pharmaceutical companies are
00:19:47.560
giving to other nations across the country another thing that you could do is just site neutrality
00:19:52.620
that's a word that says like if medicare is paying for a cat scan like 230 at uh the hospital but
00:20:00.540
they're only paying for 118 in the physician's office we want to get that lowest price that's not
00:20:06.900
hurting the beneficiary that's site neutrality and you can get substantial amount of money from that
00:20:11.380
so we have very protected beneficiaries to make sure both politically and i think there's like
00:20:18.780
there there's always a logic to the promises that were made on behalf of these beneficiaries they
00:20:23.700
paid into trust funds for decades that and led surpluses in those trust funds and then the fiscal wonks
00:20:30.000
all said that that was a dedicated trust fund it though that was all spent money on government on
00:20:35.980
bureaucracy and so i think the american people are looking at sitting back and saying you know until you
00:20:40.580
deal with the statute of bob dylan in mozambique don't come and ask me to raise the retirement age in
00:20:46.560
social security and we don't do that this is a budget that could pass next year uh with the
00:20:51.580
commitments to donald trump made and also every republican's constituency should be able to pass
00:20:56.620
this budget this is uh a key point and differentiates what you guys have done from so much else
00:21:04.220
um and we're going to go back and make sure we reiterate that for the hours over because people
00:21:08.680
have to understand it okay so if i have essentially social security and medicare off to the side except for
00:21:14.640
some marginal tweaks and like prescription drugs um which would make it even better to the to the
00:21:22.240
beneficiaries um i've then got the whole discretionary part which is the defense budget and everything
00:21:28.020
else plus medicaid right is that essentially what is in the field of things i can deal with right the
00:21:34.560
discretionary part of this which is defense and all the other all the other departments agencies
00:21:39.300
the administrative state plus medicaid that is your field of hey let's go and figure out how we how we
00:21:46.400
deconstruct that is correct yeah well we have more mandatory reforms than just medicaid but you're
00:21:52.160
hitting the big moving targets the heart of this budget is on that discretionary piece why because that's
00:21:58.140
what members have a vote on every single year we talk about it on this program and they don't have a vote
00:22:04.040
on the mandatories every year they have to create a vote to do that and so not only is the number one
00:22:09.260
threat facing the country it's what the members have a vote on it but we deal with food stamp nation
00:22:14.060
we deal with the the fact that we're subsidizing colleges and universities through these subsidies to
00:22:20.920
for post-secondary degrees and graduate degrees we go at a lot of different things all from the
00:22:27.640
america first perspective and then we try to spend where we need to on infrastructure we increase money
00:22:33.140
for the department of transportation on nasa we we get rid of science and we put it towards space exploration
00:22:40.060
we give money to career and technical education in education because we want to be able to further that
00:22:46.040
and and de-emphasize hit the gas on on this notion that you don't need a college degree to be successful
00:22:52.700
and have a six-figure job down the road in some of these key areas where the economy has needs so that's really
00:22:59.420
how we're trying to go about this and all of the reforms that we are doing on the mandatory side
00:23:04.520
really fit in with getting the labor force participation uh growing and expanding so that
00:23:12.320
we can get better economic gains and reducing welfare so disability insurance people gain disability they
00:23:18.500
have an ability to get back in the workforce it's a form of welfare at this point we change that with
00:23:24.520
some common sense reforms over 10 years before we go to break and i want to get cortez in here but
00:23:29.360
real quickly over 10 years the aggregate spending that you took the nine train off was what what was
00:23:35.580
the aggregate spending in aggregate over the 10 years uh aggregate spending under the baseline
00:23:41.500
um would have been um about 30 um about 72 trillion dollars of spending over 10 years
00:23:52.080
72 trillion in that you cut that that is what's cut by nine trillion dollars over the 10 years right
00:23:58.780
that correct yep so we had just to give you a better perspective the baseline and that's just budget code
00:24:05.020
for um what you're currently expecting to spend under current law deficits are 15 trillion dollars
00:24:11.880
we turn those deficits into four trillion dollars and that's why we see the impact from a standpoint of
00:24:18.240
balance and why we believe you're putting the country on a fiscal trajectory that they can then
00:24:22.800
uh pay for we're going to go through that in the next segment um steve cortez i know you got to bounce
00:24:31.280
your summary thoughts here before we measure well listen there is a global bond market revolt going on a
00:24:37.040
revolt against joe biden and his budgets here in the united states so to some extent we don't have a
00:24:42.160
choice okay steve we have to pursue these reforms the bond market is forcing us into that but it's also a
00:24:47.480
good thing because as russ is pointing out it doesn't just make eminent economic sense it's also
00:24:52.880
the method to starve the beast that is permanent washington and all the damage that it is doing to
00:24:58.960
american society culturally uh politically in all ways economically starve the beast and the way we do
00:25:05.940
that is remove the funding for permanent washington yeah the administrative state is 72 trillion dollars
00:25:11.620
also you starve the beast you also it's also the crowding out in capital markets of
00:25:17.240
having to finance this over and over again yeah this has to happen it's just the methodology it's
00:25:23.200
going to happen and we're going to talk about that next cortez how do people get to you on social
00:25:27.380

2023 and beyond do we have the do we have the norman let's i want to play this this is how this
00:28:38.500
is what we're talking about on the politics of it ralph norman from south carolina one of the hard
00:28:43.820
nose in relation to us um kevin mccarthy let's hear it we're now honored to be joined by congressman
00:28:49.720
ralph norman from south carolina five uh congressman norman uh you were on the john solomon show last night
00:28:55.680
made some uh waves by saying that you were a hard no on kevin mccarthy as uh for speaker could you
00:29:02.240
walk us through your thinking on that sir sure well steve first of all uh there's nowhere it's
00:29:10.740
written that only one person can take the mantle of speaker kevin mccarthy has had four years to i
00:29:18.600
guess make the case why he's the best uh to handle the what's going to be a very difficult job
00:29:24.720
speaker of the house is the most powerful position i would argue in the country today particularly as it
00:29:31.380
affects the purse strings which the house controls um he did it with me or i guess this was the the
00:29:39.900
thing that one i didn't understand and two i was shocked when in front of the caucus i said
00:29:46.160
uh kevin would you agree to go with the rsc budget of seven years of balancing the budget which had some
00:29:53.880
severe cuts and uh he just said no and not only is the leader responsible for presenting the plan
00:30:02.280
but just a solid no uh led me to believe he's really not serious about it i'm done with 20-year
00:30:10.780
budgets the american people are done this country's got a cancer and uh ashburn's not gonna cure it and
00:30:17.500
do i want mccarthy going in negotiating with uh schumer and uh with the powers that be it's just not
00:30:26.560
in him to do it he's a nice man i like him but this country's we've got problems and economic
00:30:33.560
economic security is national security the two go hand in hand and i just don't think he's taking
00:30:38.680
it seriously and it's not business as usual in washington do you think you and i would be having
00:30:42.800
this conversation if the house if we had a 30 to 40 seat margin no it'd just be business as usual
00:30:50.520
and and went on and the great thing about what happened i never thought i'd say this is is a
00:30:56.260
slim majority uh that's ralph norman from south carolina uh interview we had a couple weeks ago now
00:31:02.860
uh russ vote i want you to respond to uh congressman ralph norman who said this country has a cancer
00:31:12.060
and aspirin's not gonna salt not gonna cure it sir yeah i agree with them i mean i think this is why
00:31:19.040
we wrote this budget is that there is a view on capitol hill that balance is not possible and that
00:31:26.820
there is not a real plan to be able to deal with our fiscal imbalances and so it allowed people like
00:31:33.100
kevin mccarthy to say well show me your plan uh and we wanted to be able to do that and so he right now
00:31:39.600
is not a paradigm shifting speaker because he has rejected really easy requests uh for instance why
00:31:47.420
didn't the commitment to america that they ran on no one probably knows that they ran on it but
00:31:52.340
you know why didn't that include a very simple we're going to balance in 10 uh maybe you don't
00:31:58.000
want to go to balance in seven because of some of the things you need to do in social security why not
00:32:01.380
balance in 10 and that would be something that then you just tell your budget chairman that's what
00:32:07.120
you need to do we're not having that debate because they didn't do it so we had to come
00:32:11.840
forward and give them a plan to do it so that whoever's the house budget committee chairman say
00:32:15.780
i may have some disagreements for how you got there but don't tell me it's not possible that's
00:32:20.680
what we're trying to solve and as a result we're busting through the cartel in a way that that really
00:32:25.920
shows them what can be done and allows a member like ralph norman to go into the speaker's chamber
00:32:31.120
and be able to say this has been done you guys need to get on board or you're not going to get my
00:32:35.660
vote the founders the in the wisdom of the founders they put the control of the appropriations
00:32:41.920
in the house because you're most responsible to the people this was the vision they had but to use
00:32:47.400
that leverage you got to get access to that leverage this is the whole thing this is why we fight this
00:32:52.260
omnibus every second of every day up here and then after the show because right now what they want
00:32:57.360
to do is give nancy pelosi a kiss all these people shelby and everybody they want to cut a big thing
00:33:02.220
for their lobbyists for their donors for their sponsors when they go out the door and really
00:33:06.720
handcuff uh the new house majority because let's talk about it you're fighting to say no we got to
00:33:13.260
do a short you guys have done so many short terms do another short term let's get into january
00:33:16.960
once we get into january i keep saying you're going to need titanium stones to do this just in year one
00:33:24.620
i want to make sure the audience gets a fair assessment of this just in year one the fiscal
00:33:29.120
year that we're talking about that we don't want to do the omnibus we'll handle next year
00:33:32.700
what type of cuts in discretionary spending are you arguing for sir when you read our budget most of
00:33:40.680
our numbers are going to be in fiscal year 21 when we missed a year because that's kind of how
00:33:45.240
the most accurate information we had but let me give you the number as a fiscal year 22 okay this is the
00:33:51.420
real numbers from a non-defense perspective we're asking for about 25 cut we're actually
00:33:56.740
increasing defense spending by six percent not as much as they want they want a 10 increase in this
00:34:02.100
ndaa and then we've we restrain it in the years ahead as we get a hold of our america first
00:34:07.920
commitments overseas entanglements but for next year you know you've got a six percent increase in
00:34:13.420
defense and you've got a 25 cut non-defense and we've given you every opportunity to have provide a
00:34:19.200
specific so we can tell you exactly where we believe your surgical scalpel should be we're
00:34:24.960
not asking for across the board cuts here hold it so and first off you know and i know there's logic
00:34:31.620
there i i'm for and i'm a hawk i'm for we have to cut defense and i think we have to have some real
00:34:37.580
cuts in defense start using economic warfare more than navy's got to be built up we have we have to
00:34:42.660
reorganize the defense budget's out of control right it's just out of control and it's no thinking i don't
00:34:47.900
even know if we got audits we'll get into that later but let's wonder when you say 25 you you say
00:34:52.780
take defense out of all the other discretionary spending right you're saying that it's going to
00:34:59.120
be a top line 25 cut but you're going to go through program programmatically programmatic to program
00:35:05.100
is is have you met a republican yet that's prepared because that means you're you're you're forcing a
00:35:13.100
showdown with biden that they'll clearly shut down the government right do you have you met a
00:35:18.640
republican yet that has the guts to put to stand and deliver on that uh on on those type of cuts
00:35:25.420
coming out of the box i believe so i think your members in your house freedom caucus
00:35:31.300
we've been working with a lot of them to preview what we're doing they asked for this budget they have
00:35:37.200
the guts to do that but here's the thing steve we intentionally wrote this budget from a non-accounting
00:35:44.560
austerity perspective so what what does that mean it means we're funding things that we believe are
00:35:49.840
important as conservatives america first uh individuals and we are cutting things that any
00:35:55.440
conservative should be able to go home and explain to their voters why they have the moral high ground to
00:36:00.860
cut it so whether that's hud whether that's epa that's putting navy veterans in jail for violating
00:36:06.060
waters of the united states and putting four ponds on their ranch in every agency we have given the
00:36:11.740
moral high ground for why they can be for the cuts and so do we have all republicans supportive of this
00:36:17.540
no not yet but we're we're calling their bluff to say we have written a budget that you can sell in any of
00:36:25.060
your constituencies we go light on farm programs we have increases for florida in in in nasa space
00:36:31.760
exploration we increase funding for veterans we have an increase for defense but we we do to your
00:36:37.140
point make significant reforms to the complex the the industrial complex but we're calling the bluff of
00:36:43.220
the appropriators the republican establishment cartel members to say don't be for autopilot bureaucracy
00:36:50.820
as far as the eye can see come and look at why they are arrayed against your own voters and then take
00:36:58.060
that to the floor of the house and vote it because we believe this is something that you can sell and
00:37:02.540
win politically yeah okay so we're going to take a lot more time on this i think what we're going to do
00:37:07.900
is actually have a special either on getter i'll take the six o'clock show where i have a little more
00:37:12.380
breathing room to go through it here's why russ vote is the guy to do this and here's why when we were in
00:37:19.080
the white house with this massive five and a half six trillion dollars you can call russ up and say
00:37:24.960
hey look i got questions about this program and then he said give me 20 minutes he come over with
00:37:30.880
two guys right the two guys with the you know the veins running up the cranium of the forehead to the
00:37:36.180
smartest guys ever met in any program he would walk you through the details on a week-by-week basis of
00:37:41.380
how the money was going out and where it was going programmatically so if you have to talk about
00:37:45.960
somebody programmatically so many people just spin it top line russ vote can bring the receipts
00:37:51.980
he spent essentially his life or at least the last couple of years with president trump going through
00:37:58.240
every line of this budget so he can sit there in front of somebody and say hey here's how you have
00:38:02.400
to do it so in that budget it's not just oh we're just going to do across the board 25 cut you actually
00:38:08.280
go into the administrative state program by program essentially and say we're not funding this
00:38:13.980
anymore right this is ridiculous this is anti not just conservative a lot of this stuff goes against
00:38:19.880
uh even the basic foundational elements of the country in addition in addition you got to take
00:38:26.980
the calculation of how you're going to finance it and what russ is saying i'm going to bring interest
00:38:32.400
rates down and get growth up because i'm a show that we're going to take the beast down we're going to
00:38:37.080
take the leviathan down take out the crowding out of in the capital markets of this continual
00:38:42.800
federal reserve having to go out and print additional money that's essentially the theory
00:38:47.780
of the case it's program by program right it's not just some general cut program by program do you
00:38:52.620
get to the cuts and you'll see a concomitant eventual drop in interest rates and you'll see
00:38:57.760
an increase in growth is that essentially the model you nailed it we want to give people who want
00:39:04.840
to deal with our fiscal house we want to give them moral high ground to know that they are saving
00:39:09.940
the country from a government that is oppressing them right now okay so russ vote you're gonna
00:39:15.900
i know you got to bounce uh and i want to give you a couple minutes you're going to roll this out
00:39:19.900
by the way they're going to rip russ votes face off just understand because this is what dc's dc is
00:39:28.520
about money and power okay and russ vote is walking in and say hey i got a way to both uh take down the
00:39:36.480
money and get it back to the american people and decrease your power so ought to that is the heart
00:39:41.540
drain the swamps too too cute a term this is the kill zone this is where it'll get nasty it'll get
00:39:47.520
personal this is why they get the fbi and doj all in twitter this is this is their greatest fear
00:39:53.860
this is trump this is trumpism weaponized this is trumpism going to the heart of the problem the
00:40:01.640
administrative state okay and how it's funded how it grows is what's into and russ is sitting there
00:40:07.740
going you know i think you're in a couple of areas he shouldn't be and here's what we're going to do
00:40:12.000
how about zero how about zero the fights on capitol hill are going to be firefights like you've never
00:40:18.240
seen before literally that russ voting of a big picture of russ voting a poster of taking food out
00:40:23.080
of baby's mouths of kicking people into being homeless of you're going to be you're going to be
00:40:28.580
scrooge on testosterone correct russ vote you know it's coming yeah we know it's coming and that's
00:40:34.500
what this is all about you're not going to save your country by by avoiding the fire the only way
00:40:39.920
out is through the fire the people on this on this show are those who realize that they are the cavalry
00:40:46.700
and we want to arm every statesman at the local level to know exactly how to save their country
00:40:52.440
fiscally and culturally because it can be done and right now what you're seeing in this lame
00:40:58.400
duck is you are seeing this show will politicians to fight for a new speaker to fight against the
00:41:05.340
lame duck spending package and to fight for a balanced budget that deals with woken weaponized
00:41:10.700
bureaucracy that is what we know we have behind us in this fight and that's going to give us
00:41:17.200
encouragement every step of the way as this gets hot and heavy we're going to keep russ for a few
00:41:22.840
minutes after the break because we're going to ask him about specifically about the rollout today
00:41:26.100
heroic measures uh from his center we're getting all that how it's going to be rolled out how you

okay russ vote is i guess again for a few more minutes by the way up on capitol hill russ debt ceiling
00:43:56.340
i think we might themes even kind of signal that might have been kicked into next year because we've made
00:44:01.400
it too hot to handle uh the the amnesty thing we're going to fight that's josh hawley and others
00:44:07.140
even cornyn said there'll be no immigration deal so cornyn who's never really been that hard on it
00:44:11.820
said ain't happening because he runs their understanding of running out of texas um we've
00:44:17.040
got the defense authorization that's a whole fiasco tell us about omnibus are we going to have a chance
00:44:22.520
to allow you to provide the tools to the new house whoever the speaker is to fight this is this going to
00:44:30.460
get kicked into january are we going to are they going to cut deals we're going to lose this right now as
00:44:34.580
you see it right now the trend lines are going in our direction on kicking that spending leverage
00:44:41.620
point into the new years yesterday mitch mcconnell said and floated the idea of a short-term cr
00:44:47.980
obviously this program has been pushing that for months a year frankly and so we are in we're on the
00:44:55.640
cusp of winning on the debt limit we've i think we already have one on that we are about to win on the
00:45:00.680
omnibus bill we have immense pressure on the speaker's race i don't my hope is that the folks
00:45:06.300
who listen to this and interact with their members of congress in a real way don't get tired of winning
00:45:10.640
because we have a real shot to have paradigm shifting results we just got to keep it up for
00:45:16.260
a couple more days to get this out of the hands of the retiring big spenders like roy blunt and dick
00:45:22.640
shelby and into the new congress where you have a slim house majority that can use the power of the
00:45:28.320
purse effectively um and i want everybody to man the phones get to your house members today because
00:45:34.400
this fight so mitch mcconnell i think was also signaling to the guys that he wants to cut the
00:45:39.380
deals you better cut the deals you got like 24 hours to cut your deals i don't have to go in a
00:45:43.120
different direction so trust me mitch mcconnell wants the omnibus done um ross for our audience how
00:45:51.520
does it where do you go on the rollout of this now where should they be looking it's going to look
00:45:56.400
like a lot of hand-to-hand work where we're going to be getting in front of members of congress
00:45:59.880
and educating on what we do in various aspects of this and winning the debate look we we try to pick
00:46:05.240
big confrontation big fights nationalize the debate over strategic leverage points so now we're going
00:46:11.260
to go and nationalize it and win the debate and this is a huge part of what we're trying to do
00:46:16.640

from me which gets at the ways that we're trying to change the paradigms that has caused us to lose
00:46:39.260
for 20 years i'm trying i'm tired of being in a cul-de-sac where we lose on every budget battle
00:46:44.080
