00:00:01.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:06.000 Pray for our enemies.
00:00:08.000 Because we're going to medieval on these people.
00:00:11.000 You're just not going to free shot all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:15.000 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:00:17.000 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:00:19.000 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:00:21.000 but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
00:00:23.000 And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:00:26.000 Mega Media.
00:00:27.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:32.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:36.000 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:43.000 War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:00:48.000 It's Friday, 16 December in the year of our Lord, 2022.
00:00:51.000 Thank you. You're here for the early evening edition of War Room.
00:00:54.000 We've got two hours. It's going to be locked and loaded.
00:00:58.000 Mike Howell from Heritage Organization is going to join us,
00:01:01.000 talking about the amnesty bill and also about the border,
00:01:04.000 what's happening down in El Paso, Texas.
00:01:06.000 Christina Bob's going to be here.
00:01:07.000 Breaking news coming out of Maricopa County.
00:01:09.000 The judge has talked about some of the evidence there.
00:01:12.000 We're going to get into the, they've got a motion to assist hearing on the 19th,
00:01:16.000 but he's actually talking and giving Carrie Lake's team access and some ballots.
00:01:21.000 So we're going to see all the details that Boris Epstein will also join us.
00:01:25.000 President Trump put out Truth Social today about Mitch McConnell and the ominous bill.
00:01:30.000 We're going to get into all of that.
00:01:31.000 Plus, Matt Taibbi has put out a blockbuster look-like thread about the FBI
00:01:36.000 and Twitter as a subsidiary of the FBI.
00:01:40.000 We've got Mike Davis coming on.
00:01:42.000 We're going to have Mike Lindell as let back up on Twitter today for the first time.
00:01:46.000 And we're going to break that at 6 o'clock.
00:01:49.000 Talk to you about the first tweet and Mike Lindell's response to it.
00:01:52.000 Mike Davis trying to get Steve Cortez big news in capital markets today
00:01:56.000 and maybe even posts on the FBI.
00:01:58.000 So we're jammed for the next two hours to strap in.
00:02:00.000 I want to start off with Ron McDaniel.
00:02:02.000 Ron was nice enough to join us leading up to the 2022 midterm.
00:02:06.000 Ron, obviously this story coming out of Red State with the expenses and the FCC reports, all that.
00:02:12.000 As people know, my phone's blowing up from both sides.
00:02:15.000 People that support you, a lot of the people on the 168,
00:02:18.000 also other people that have worked with you for years.
00:02:20.000 And you've got many detractors, as you know, but that's politics.
00:02:24.000 One thing, and I want to make sure we got this straight because I think there's some confusion.
00:02:27.000 And I want to make sure and I appreciate you coming on to walk us through it.
00:02:31.000 What I am told is that if you look at some of these expenses and let's see the staff stuff out.
00:02:37.000 But if you look at the expenses that have caught people's eyes, like the, the, the limos and the, and the private jets.
00:02:44.000 And, uh, and particularly this thing of the chachis or the mementos that this, you can tie this in the way it's actually accounted for.
00:02:52.000 Is that this was in, in support of president Trump and president Trump's white house.
00:02:57.000 Could you, is that accurate or close to being accurate?
00:03:00.000 And if it is, can you walk us through exactly what, what people are telling me what that means?
00:03:05.000 Yeah, exactly. Thanks, Steve. Thanks for having me on.
00:03:08.000 Let's just break down this hit piece written by a client of my opponent.
00:03:12.000 But, uh, first of all, it's 0.8% of the 1.5 billion that the RNC has raised over six years under my tenure.
00:03:20.000 But the vast majority of these expenses were, but, but hang on a second.
00:03:25.000 So I just want to go 1.5 billion was raised over this time.
00:03:29.000 And you're saying this accumulated came to 0.8% of that.
00:03:33.000 8% less than 1%.
00:03:35.000 And you know, Steve, it takes money to raise money, but.
00:03:38.000 A vast majority of this is white house support.
00:03:40.000 And I, I have to credit president Trump with this.
00:03:43.000 Uh, things like the white house Christmas parties, which we did 13 a year or Hanukkah parties where we did three a year or Easter egg.
00:03:49.000 Or Easter egg rolls or the congressional picnic.
00:03:52.000 The RNC paid for that to support the white house.
00:03:55.000 Because he didn't want taxpayers to pay for it.
00:03:57.000 And I think everyone should applaud that.
00:03:59.000 Taxpayers shouldn't be paying for these things.
00:04:01.000 And the RNC should the jets that's support staff.
00:04:05.000 Going on.
00:04:06.000 Hold on.
00:04:07.000 Hang on.
00:04:08.000 Before, before we do that.
00:04:09.000 You put on 13.
00:04:11.000 Cause I want to make sure people get the details.
00:04:13.000 Look, you've been taking enough incoming.
00:04:14.000 Right.
00:04:15.000 Thank you.
00:04:16.000 You ought to have, you ought to have the opportunity to.
00:04:18.000 To, to, to state your case.
00:04:19.000 You put on 13 Christmas parties.
00:04:22.000 Uh.
00:04:23.000 Each year.
00:04:24.000 For, for, for four years.
00:04:25.000 Right.
00:04:26.000 For four years.
00:04:27.000 And you put on three Hanukkah parties.
00:04:29.000 Right.
00:04:30.000 Each.
00:04:31.000 So that would be 16 parties.
00:04:33.000 For four years.
00:04:34.000 Right.
00:04:35.000 So, uh, each, each year for four years.
00:04:37.000 And the RNC paid for those.
00:04:39.000 Correct.
00:04:40.000 The professional picnic.
00:04:41.000 And the Easter egg rolls.
00:04:43.000 Anything that the White House did.
00:04:44.000 Uh, donor, uh, Christmas ornaments that the first lady gave out.
00:04:49.000 The first lady's office worked with us.
00:04:51.000 We created a budget.
00:04:52.000 They were very frugal.
00:04:53.000 Uh, the president, if you know him and you know him, Steve, and I know him.
00:04:57.000 He does not like wasting money.
00:04:59.000 And this is something that he raised into the RNC.
00:05:02.000 We actually had an account called the White House press to support White House event.
00:05:07.000 So of the roughly, uh, I think it's 17 million dollars of the, of the donor tchotchkes or
00:05:14.000 whatever that categorization is.
00:05:15.000 Yeah.
00:05:16.000 What percentage of that, just so people can get clear.
00:05:19.000 What percentage of that is in direct support of the White House as far as functions go?
00:05:24.000 Whether that's Easter egg hunts, Christmas parties, cards, ornaments, whatever.
00:05:29.000 What's, what's the total?
00:05:30.000 I'd say 60 to 70%.
00:05:32.000 And then some of that is our small donor gifts that we give to people that raise money or
00:05:38.000 give us money online and they get a pin or a cup or books.
00:05:42.000 You know, we did do president Trump's book.
00:05:45.000 Those are, and they're fundraising, uh, gifts that we give for small dollars.
00:05:49.000 They would be premiums.
00:05:50.000 You, you buy the book from whoever you get the gift.
00:05:53.000 And then you, if you give a hundred bucks, you get a, you get a membership plus a book,
00:05:58.000 something like that.
00:05:59.000 And this is again, over six years.
00:06:01.000 Yep.
00:06:02.000 Yep.
00:06:03.000 Um, I want to go to, let's talk about this.
00:06:06.000 Harmeet brought it up the other day and then Mike Lindell's on top of it.
00:06:09.000 And it is a number that strikes people in business being high, but I'm, I'm sure it's
00:06:14.000 something people don't understand.
00:06:15.000 So let's explain it.
00:06:16.000 Um, they said the numbers show, I think Harmeet shows that 40, it takes you 40% of overhead
00:06:23.000 or 40% of costs to raise the money.
00:06:27.000 So for every dollar that comes in 40 cents goes to the raising of the money.
00:06:32.000 60 cents goes to the RNC or goes to actually apply, uh, to, to campaigns and the other activities
00:06:40.000 have a voter turnout, get at the vote, um, registration, legal, all of that.
00:06:46.000 Is that number an accurate number?
00:06:48.000 No, it's not.
00:06:49.000 And I just told you the numbers they just put forward, uh, in this hit piece, which of
00:06:53.000 course they put out at midnight, didn't reach out to us, uh, trying to skew numbers, which
00:06:59.000 is just unfortunate because why it's unfortunate with Harmeet is she's on the executive committee
00:07:04.000 for the RNC.
00:07:05.000 We have a budget.
00:07:06.000 But hang on a second.
00:07:07.000 Are you saying, are you saying the red state author, Jennifer Van Lair either got bad numbers
00:07:12.000 or interpret it wrong or willingly you think confuse things to make you look bad?
00:07:19.000 Oh, I think it's, it's a, it's a hippie, Steve, the hippies.
00:07:22.000 I mean, there's, there's ample time to reach out and say, what is this?
00:07:26.000 What is this?
00:07:27.000 The building expenses.
00:07:28.000 Yes.
00:07:29.000 We have security in front of our building.
00:07:30.000 You know why?
00:07:31.000 Cause there was a bomb in front of our building on January 6th, which a lot of people forget
00:07:34.000 that that was the first thing that happened that day was a bomb right outside the RNC,
00:07:38.000 which by the way, they've never caught the perpetrator of that.
00:07:41.000 Uh, yeah, I'm going to make sure my staff secure.
00:07:44.000 Uh, everybody should be doing that.
00:07:46.000 And again, the vast majority of those expenses were support of the white house and president
00:07:51.000 Trump.
00:07:52.000 So, you know, Harmeet sits on exec committee.
00:07:54.000 She votes on these budgets.
00:07:55.000 We file an FEC report every single month.
00:07:58.000 She had ample opportunity to ask these questions and clarify.
00:08:01.000 And I think that's, what's upsetting to members of the one 68 who are grassroots.
00:08:05.000 These are not Washington insiders.
00:08:07.000 These are door knockers.
00:08:08.000 These are people who are volunteers.
00:08:10.000 They give to their state.
00:08:11.000 They're elected at conventions.
00:08:13.000 They have oversight on the committee.
00:08:14.000 They take it very, very seriously.
00:08:16.000 And it's not just me that they're, they're hurting.
00:08:19.000 They're hurting the membership and the RNC.
00:08:21.000 And that's what's so wrong.
00:08:22.000 When you can ask a question and clarify, because there are explanations for all of this.
00:08:28.000 Have the, let's talk about the, the, uh, flights for a second.
00:08:31.000 Sure.
00:08:32.000 Cause then I want to ask an overall question and combine them.
00:08:34.000 Tell me about the flight $3 million for, for, for jets over what, four years, five years.
00:08:39.000 Yeah.
00:08:40.000 You know, uh, a lot of that is white house support as well.
00:08:43.000 So if we had staff that flew on air force one or say somebody from the Trump campaign had
00:08:49.000 to fly to an event that all had to be reimbursed.
00:08:51.000 And sometimes they have to fly private jet right now.
00:08:54.000 If president Trump comes to an event for the RNC, he has to fly private that he can't do
00:09:00.000 that on his own dime.
00:09:01.000 That'd be an in-kind contribution.
00:09:03.000 So the RNC pays that.
00:09:04.000 Um, if president Trump's going to come to an event for us, which he did last year in New
00:09:08.000 Orleans, for example, and he's going to raise a million dollars.
00:09:11.000 Absolutely.
00:09:12.000 We're going to charter a plane for him and, and bear that expense.
00:09:15.000 It's worth it.
00:09:16.000 Um, I fly Delta.
00:09:17.000 I fly American.
00:09:19.000 I fly United.
00:09:20.000 I fly jet blue and Southwest.
00:09:23.000 I can show you my million million miler status on Delta.
00:09:27.000 So, um, we, uh, the majority of those expenses, again, were white house support.
00:09:32.000 Have you, so if you had that in white house support and it went to the congressional, uh,
00:09:38.000 you know, picnic and went to the, um, the Easter egg roll and went to these 16 parties
00:09:43.000 per Christmas slash holiday period over four years, had you ever bundled it up and explain
00:09:50.000 that to the executive committee or to the one 68.
00:09:52.000 So to make sure there was no confusion that they could ever come out that somehow somebody
00:09:57.000 could aggregate the number up of a $17 million, which you would admit looks like a big number.
00:10:03.000 Kind of takes people back.
00:10:05.000 Have you guys ever bundled like that?
00:10:08.000 Or he had you ever gone back to president Trump and say, Hey, look, I just want to make sure
00:10:11.000 you understand something.
00:10:12.000 I know your guy counts every penny.
00:10:14.000 Here's what we're spending on these Christmas parties.
00:10:16.000 I just want to run it by you and the first lady.
00:10:18.000 Well, we certainly did a budget with the first lady every year on the Christmas parties
00:10:22.000 and the Christmas cards that went out and all of that.
00:10:25.000 But, you know, every year, every quarter, the RNC meet and we go through our budget.
00:10:30.000 Uh, we go through that.
00:10:32.000 Um, and, and we also file an FEC report every month.
00:10:35.000 Listen, this, the intent of this Steve is to hurt the RNC.
00:10:39.000 The intent is to mislead and it's coming from one of our members, which who sits on the
00:10:45.000 executive committee and she could have clarified, but she chose to engage in a hippie.
00:10:49.000 So this is really harmful as we're heading into 2024.
00:10:53.000 I'm proud of what the RNC does.
00:10:54.000 I'm proud of the state parties.
00:10:56.000 And what they do leave out is that 263 million of the RNC dollars have been transferred to
00:11:02.000 straight state parties to help with their get out the vote, a vote effort.
00:11:05.000 53 million spent on legal bills.
00:11:07.000 All the things we did this last cycle on election integrity.
00:11:10.000 I am proud of what the RNC has done.
00:11:12.000 And you know what, Steve, there's been a lot of changes in my tenure.
00:11:15.000 I think you'd appreciate the fact that we just stepped out of the commission on
00:11:18.000 presidential debate.
00:11:19.000 I think a lot of people forget that the RNC is the entity that sued the January 6th committee
00:11:24.000 on the only one that won.
00:11:25.000 I think people forget that we, uh, censured Liz Cheney, that we had our first county chair
00:11:30.000 training, that we actually engaged in 80 election integrity lawsuits.
00:11:34.000 And I'll just name one in the city of New York where they passed a law to allow non-citizens
00:11:40.000 to vote.
00:11:41.000 Imagine that non-citizens to vote an election.
00:11:44.000 It's the RNC that raised the money to go sue in New York.
00:11:49.000 So 900,000 non-citizens couldn't vote in this past election.
00:11:53.000 And we picked up house seats there probably because we did the right thing on election
00:11:57.000 integrity.
00:11:58.000 This goes on and on and on.
00:12:00.000 The community centers that we've put out in black, Asian, and Hispanic districts.
00:12:04.000 Ask Monica de la Cruz about how effective that was in her district in Texas 15 or Juan
00:12:10.000 Siskamani in Arizona.
00:12:12.000 These are changed things that the RNC has brought under my tenure, but it's happened with the
00:12:17.000 membership.
00:12:18.000 I'm going to defend the one 68 every day.
00:12:20.000 They are grassroots.
00:12:21.000 They are not DC backroom insiders, and they deserve that respect from other members.
00:12:27.000 And I hope everybody knows how hard these members were.
00:12:30.000 Do you, do you, are you, are you saying that Harmeet, you think that did not show respect
00:12:35.000 for her other executive committee members in that one 68 by either working with, and by
00:12:41.000 the way, the, the author, I asked her point blank, had she talked to Harmeet beforehand
00:12:46.000 or run this by her.
00:12:47.000 And she said, at least he said on TV, on the show that she had not, but do you think
00:12:51.000 she has a client of Harmeet and their friends and they did endorse her.
00:12:54.000 So, I mean, I, I can't imagine that there wasn't that, but I'll, I'll, I'll let her,
00:12:59.000 her words stand.
00:13:00.000 I don't know her.
00:13:01.000 Listen, she's gone on TV and said, members are supporting me because I'm giving them
00:13:05.000 bribes.
00:13:06.000 Uh, that's, that's insulting to a lot of members.
00:13:09.000 I mean, these are people who knock doors, you know, Steve, there's a lot of people outside
00:13:13.000 the arena.
00:13:14.000 So these, these, these allegations that there's some state party, uh, people are having their
00:13:19.000 legal picked up and that's why they're supporting you.
00:13:22.000 That that's inaccurate.
00:13:23.000 That is inaccurate.
00:13:24.000 Of course we pick up a lot of state parties legal.
00:13:27.000 We've been doing this for years and we did it before this race.
00:13:30.000 And so it's, it's impugning the character of people who work hard.
00:13:33.000 And, you know, Steve, there's a lot of people outside the arena that have never knocked a door
00:13:37.000 that have never registered a voter that have never done a phone bank.
00:13:40.000 I do those things.
00:13:41.000 People forget I'm a grassroots chair.
00:13:43.000 You know, this, I was a grassroots chair in Michigan.
00:13:46.000 I begged president Trump to come to my state.
00:13:49.000 I thought it was a flyover state.
00:13:51.000 Uh, I knocked doors.
00:13:52.000 I'm a mom.
00:13:53.000 I care deeply about it.
00:13:54.000 I was a precinct delegate.
00:13:55.000 I was a state committee woman.
00:13:56.000 I was a national committee woman.
00:13:58.000 And then I was a state chair and we won Michigan for the first time in 30 years.
00:14:01.000 Cause I'm a doer.
00:14:02.000 I know how to raise money.
00:14:04.000 I know how to organize.
00:14:05.000 And I see a lot of people taking shots at the RNC.
00:14:08.000 Well, let's talk about what the RNC did this cycle.
00:14:10.000 We won the popular vote.
00:14:12.000 We turned out 3 million more voters.
00:14:14.000 If you apply to this turnout, the presidential race, we would have won the white house with
00:14:19.000 297 electoral votes.
00:14:21.000 Uh, the RNC is a turnout operation where grassroots operation, we don't do TV and we don't pick
00:14:27.000 the candidates and that's in our bylaws.
00:14:30.000 But I also think that's important that we don't pick the candidates because the voters
00:14:34.000 should pick the candidate.
00:14:35.000 Given the get six many more.
00:14:38.000 Uh, why do you think it's so much animosity when you talk to the grassroots people, the
00:14:43.000 precinct strategy people, and even when you hear Mark, a guy like Mark Levin, who I know
00:14:47.000 you think very highly of Mark Levin, Laura Ingram, Tucker, these people, quite frankly, going
00:14:53.000 after the RNC, but particularly going after you.
00:14:55.000 What is the disconnect from you coming from as a grassroots from Michigan?
00:15:00.000 Now people are saying, Hey, you're not grassroots.
00:15:03.000 You represent the elite.
00:15:04.000 The, the, the RNC is detached.
00:15:06.000 Um, where do you think that comes from?
00:15:08.000 Well, I think it's being stirred up.
00:15:10.000 I think there's misinformation being stirred up for people who frankly don't know what the
00:15:13.000 RNC does.
00:15:14.000 I mean, you had John rich on your show today.
00:15:16.000 He's talking about our TV buys.
00:15:17.000 We don't do TV.
00:15:18.000 The RNC doesn't do TV, right?
00:15:20.000 We are the turnout machine.
00:15:22.000 Uh, we don't pick the candidate.
00:15:23.000 We're not the consultant class.
00:15:25.000 I'm fine taking on the consultant class.
00:15:27.000 I'm glad to do that.
00:15:28.000 My first race was my mom's race.
00:15:30.000 We had no money.
00:15:31.000 Uh, when she ran for Senate in 1994 and she went against all the DC elite.
00:15:36.000 I know firsthand what that's from.
00:15:37.000 That is my background.
00:15:39.000 Uh, so I get that, but I think there's a lot of misinformation and I think it's being
00:15:44.000 spun up.
00:15:45.000 Do you think, do you think part of it is that the message doesn't get out?
00:15:50.000 Let's take Nevada.
00:15:51.000 There's been some back and forth in Nevada, but the key thing is that in Nevada, when you
00:15:56.000 had these Rick Grinnell, ambassador Grinnell called people like Kurt Schlichter and, and,
00:16:01.000 and, and Matt Schlapp and others that come to Nevada, there wasn't a lot already done prior
00:16:07.000 to the Nevada situation.
00:16:09.000 What about the argument that the RNC should have been on top of more things in Michigan,
00:16:15.000 in Pennsylvania, in Nevada, in Arizona, so that when 2020, when they stole it in 2020,
00:16:21.000 we would have been better prepped.
00:16:23.000 You know, you, the stuff would have been done a hundred days beforehand.
00:16:26.000 So we could, we could have jumped on it and turned around some of these states like Georgia
00:16:31.000 and Arizona, which should have been.
00:16:32.000 Well, Steve, you and I've talked about this a lot and you know this better than anyone.
00:16:35.000 The RNC was under a consent decree that prevented us from doing election day operations in 2020.
00:16:41.000 This is the first cycle we've been able to do that.
00:16:43.000 We shifted 60,000 shifts of poll watchers.
00:16:46.000 We had lawyers on the ground in 39 states, but we were not able to do that in 2020 because
00:16:51.000 we were still under a court ordered consent decree.
00:16:54.000 So this is the first cycle we've been able to do that.
00:16:56.000 So I think it's an unfair criticism of the RNC, but you can ask Rick Grinnell and others.
00:17:01.000 When they needed staff on the ground to go knock doors and get affidavits after the 2020 election,
00:17:07.000 the RNC funded that.
00:17:08.000 So I'm not going to get in the back and forth.
00:17:10.000 I'm, I'm about all hands on deck.
00:17:12.000 We need to start bringing together everybody.
00:17:14.000 If we're going to win in 2024 and this party bashing and this attacking and this scorched
00:17:19.000 earth method that we're seeing from some others is, is hurting our efforts to win back the
00:17:24.000 Senate and the house.
00:17:25.000 And I think everybody, you know, is lumping everybody together or, or all everybody in
00:17:31.000 DC together.
00:17:32.000 And the RNC is a grassroots organization.
00:17:34.000 And if you look at the body of our work and what we've done with the lawsuits, with
00:17:38.000 election integrity, with community centers, with voter registration.
00:17:41.000 I mean, remember we just flipped voter reg in Florida for the first time in the history
00:17:45.000 with more Republicans than Democrats.
00:17:47.000 We were engaged in voter reg in North Carolina.
00:17:49.000 We do all the non-sexy stuff.
00:17:51.000 So I'm not a TV personality.
00:17:53.000 You're right.
00:17:54.000 I didn't go to college with Laura Ingram 24 and be friends with her for 25 years.
00:17:58.000 I'm not on TV every day.
00:18:00.000 I'm not knocking doors and doing work.
00:18:01.000 Why, why, why are you not?
00:18:03.000 Why are you not on?
00:18:04.000 I am stunned to find out why are you not on Fox in primetime more ma'am?
00:18:09.000 Why is it your chairman of the RNC?
00:18:12.000 And MSNBC has the, the, the, the Democrat chairman on every other night or frequently.
00:18:18.000 Why are you not on Fox more?
00:18:20.000 I am.
00:18:21.000 I mean, Laura Ingram had me on right before the election and said, I was a groundbreaking
00:18:24.000 chair that she'd never seen the efforts that we've done for the community centers.
00:18:28.000 Even Harmeet was praising our election integrity effort right before the election and the RNC.
00:18:33.000 I can send you the clips.
00:18:34.000 So I'm on, but I'll tell you what, Steve, I'm traveling all the time.
00:18:38.000 I am always raising money.
00:18:40.000 It takes money to fuel the mission.
00:18:42.000 You don't have 80 lawsuits if you don't have money.
00:18:45.000 Guess who knows that?
00:18:46.000 My opponent who we paid $1.3 million to.
00:18:49.000 Uh, she's the only RNC member who actually received payments from the RNC.
00:18:53.000 So you don't do it without raising money and I'm traveling all the time.
00:18:57.000 That's why we had a spokesperson.
00:18:58.000 Guess who the spokesperson was my first two years?
00:19:00.000 Haley McEnany, my dear friend.
00:19:02.000 We have spokespeople.
00:19:03.000 We put them out, but I have to get out, uh, do the work to raise the money to win these
00:19:08.000 elections, fuel the ground game, view the voter reg, fuel the election integrity, feel
00:19:13.000 the community centers.
00:19:14.000 And it takes a lot of work and time.
00:19:17.000 What, um, let's go back.
00:19:19.000 I want to go back and make sure it just, it's clear about this 40%.
00:19:22.000 Is it 40% of every dollar generally?
00:19:25.000 Not, not, not the 0.8% on, on these expenses, but the overall expenses, 40% because Harmeet
00:19:33.000 said it and now Mike Lindell's picked it up.
00:19:35.000 Is it?
00:19:36.000 Yeah.
00:19:37.000 I mean, cause he's saying, I think that's a total misinterpretation because the building
00:19:41.000 that they may be including building staff, but our data staff supports every state party.
00:19:45.000 Our digital staff is helping the state party.
00:19:48.000 Our legal staff is working around the clock right now.
00:19:50.000 I mean, everybody is working.
00:19:51.000 We're working on Maricopa County right now.
00:19:53.000 We're in the, having a, um, suit.
00:19:55.000 Yeah.
00:19:56.000 You're, you're, you're saying that it's an allocation of overhead.
00:19:58.000 The people looked at this, that if it was, I don't know how she's finding it.
00:20:02.000 I don't know how she's putting her numbers together, but I'm sure it's in the most,
00:20:06.000 um, you know, uh, I don't think it's in the most flattering way, but again, Steve, she
00:20:13.000 sat on the RNC on executive committee.
00:20:15.000 She's had ample opportunity at every meeting when she passes a budget to ask these questions.
00:20:20.000 And it's not like expenses are done in a vacuum.
00:20:23.000 We have a budget committee.
00:20:24.000 We have a budget chair.
00:20:25.000 We have a treasurer.
00:20:26.000 Uh, the members take this very seriously and we file reports every month.
00:20:30.000 Uh, you know, I see a lot of outside groups attacking the RNC right now.
00:20:34.000 I would challenge anybody coming on your show, open up your book, show us your transparency.
00:20:39.000 What did you spend money on this cycle?
00:20:40.000 How much did you pay yourself?
00:20:41.000 Did any of you use private jets?
00:20:43.000 How many voters did you register?
00:20:45.000 I will defend the RNC every day.
00:20:47.000 Cause we're actually out there working and doing things, uh, to turn out the vote.
00:20:52.000 And there's a lot of people taking shots right now that are unwarranted and are being stirred
00:20:56.000 up by people who don't do the work, but are really good at pointing fingers.
00:21:00.000 Let me, the, the question about the staff, uh, expenses, the, the box at the Raiders game,
00:21:06.000 Mark Levin went through it.
00:21:07.000 The, the thing at salamander, all these staff functions.
00:21:11.000 Yeah.
00:21:12.000 It's just ridiculous.
00:21:13.000 Listen, the salamander one, let's just take the salamander.
00:21:15.000 We had a donor retreat plan in, in Virginia.
00:21:19.000 We put a deposit down.
00:21:21.000 COVID came.
00:21:22.000 So guess what?
00:21:23.000 We had the money.
00:21:24.000 We used it for an NRC retreat and we did a staff training there.
00:21:28.000 Cause we had to use the money or we were going to lose it again.
00:21:31.000 Simple questions that could have asked by people been asked by people that wanted to
00:21:35.000 keep this private and say, how do I clarify this?
00:21:39.000 But instead they used it as ammunition to try and create dissension and distrust of the
00:21:45.000 RNC.
00:21:46.000 And it's really hurtful to the members and to the people who give so much time and treasure
00:21:51.000 the RNC, that this is being done in a way, uh, publicly when it could have been a simple
00:21:56.000 question.
00:21:58.000 Ask.
00:21:59.000 Would you be open to with the one 68 or a broader audience in a town hall?
00:22:04.000 Would you be open to, to having Harmeet and Mike Lindell, the two people that have thrown
00:22:08.000 their hat in the ring to, to do a Q and a, to do it like a debate and to, and to defend
00:22:14.000 your record of accomplishments.
00:22:16.000 I'm always happy to talk to the one 68.
00:22:18.000 I'm always happy to talk to the one 68.
00:22:20.000 So I'm talking to them every day.
00:22:22.000 And Steve, this is, but would you do, would you be open to do it to get it clear?
00:22:27.000 Would you be open to do it in a more public forum?
00:22:29.000 So this stuff could be, I'm interested in doing things in front of the one 68.
00:22:33.000 That's what I'm interested in doing.
00:22:35.000 Okay.
00:22:36.000 Um, what, what other, where should our audience?
00:22:40.000 Cause as you know, people are, we're a grassroots, uh, show to make sure they fully understand
00:22:47.000 your record and to make sure they understand the facts, not to have been spun by either
00:22:52.000 side.
00:22:53.000 Where do you recommend they go?
00:22:54.000 What's the best place for people to go and say, Hey, if you want to find out about what
00:22:57.000 Ron has accomplished, you want to see what the real numbers are, go here and you'll be
00:23:01.000 able to find it.
00:23:02.000 Where, where, where would you send them?
00:23:04.000 You know, I'll get a website up and I'll make sure that I'll give you a location for
00:23:08.000 them to go see that.
00:23:09.000 Cause I'm, I'm so proud of the 168.
00:23:12.000 These are hardworking volunteer people who are being disparaged.
00:23:16.000 They're being docs.
00:23:17.000 All of their emails have been getting, been given out.
00:23:20.000 They have been attacked.
00:23:21.000 Um, they're getting vile voicemails from people, not even from their home state.
00:23:26.000 And it's really not fair.
00:23:28.000 You know, if you're mad at, at, at TV ads or other things, actually it's not fair to attack
00:23:33.000 the RNC, the grassroots people who do go knock the doors who are out there in the rain,
00:23:38.000 who are working hard to recruit volunteers every single day.
00:23:41.000 I'm so proud of our members and I'm proud of the RNC and our staff and what we do.
00:23:47.000 Um, last question.
00:23:50.000 If we approach, if we reach out to president Trump's team down in Florida, would they back
00:23:55.000 up the statements that are they familiar that the fact that this money went to underwrite
00:24:00.000 things at his white house, his presidency, the Easter egg roll and the people on the planes.
00:24:05.000 If we were to reach out to officially not informally.
00:24:08.000 Yeah.
00:24:09.000 Yeah.
00:24:10.000 I think so.
00:24:11.000 Yeah.
00:24:12.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:24:13.000 Okay.
00:24:14.000 We will do that.
00:24:15.000 Rana, uh, where do people get you on social media?
00:24:17.000 I'm sure people are going to want to make contact or follow you.
00:24:19.000 Maybe blow you.
00:24:20.000 Maybe they've all found me.
00:24:22.000 Hey, you guys, you know, be kind.
00:24:24.000 I heard, I heard one of your, your guests today was taking pot shots at my looks.
00:24:28.000 Hey, they above the belt.
00:24:30.000 All right.
00:24:31.000 Let's not do that.
00:24:32.000 As you, as you, as you, as you know, I tried to calm that down, but, uh, by the way, the
00:24:36.000 John rich thing, I was, I was, I was playing the, I was playing the Tucker.
00:24:39.000 We played the Tucker interview in its entirety.
00:24:41.000 Um, but look, there's, this is, you know, we don't, this has gotten, this has gotten quite
00:24:46.000 heated.
00:24:47.000 Yeah.
00:24:48.000 You know what the RNC does and you know that the infrastructure, the RNC built was critical
00:24:51.000 to Donald Trump's went, and this is what we're doing right now.
00:24:54.000 And if you keep attacking it, it won't be there for 2024.
00:24:58.000 It won't be there for 2020 for the winning back the house and the Senate.
00:25:01.000 And we're on track to do that.
00:25:03.000 Yeah.
00:25:04.000 The one thing I can probably guarantee is this is going to go up all the way to the 23rd,
00:25:08.000 wherever the vote is.
00:25:09.000 So we would like to be able to have, we'd like to have you be able to have you back on.
00:25:13.000 Uh, right.
00:25:14.000 Uh, okay.
00:25:15.000 Well, thank you very much.
00:25:16.000 Appreciate it.
00:25:17.000 Appreciate it.
00:25:18.000 Ronna McDaniel.
00:25:19.000 Um, by the way, give as good as you get.
00:25:22.000 We're going to have Mike Lindell is going to be on six.
00:25:24.000 We're gonna reach out to Harmeet.
00:25:26.000 Uh, so we're jammed.
00:25:27.000 I got Mike Howell at Heritage.
00:25:28.000 We're gonna take a short break.
00:25:29.000 I got Mike Howell at Heritage about Amnesty.
00:25:31.000 I've got Christina Bob.
00:25:33.000 We have Christina Bob on this breaking news out of Maricopa County.
00:25:37.000 We have Boris Epstein, the president today, really got engaged.
00:25:40.000 We're putting up some great stuff today.
00:25:42.000 We're gonna get into all of that short commercial break.
00:25:45.000 Mike Howell of Heritage, tip of the spear on Amnesty.
00:25:48.000 I think he's got some good news for us next in the war room.
00:25:51.000 Cause we're taking down the CCP.
00:25:55.000 Spread the word all through Hong Kong.
00:25:57.000 We will fight till they're all gone.
00:26:00.000 We rejoice when there's no more.
00:26:02.000 Let's take down the CCP.
00:26:05.000 Will the lack of a red wave during the midterms lead to a more emboldened Biden?
00:26:10.000 More wasteful government spending higher taxes, the deepening of inflation?

00:27:15.000 Okay.
00:27:16.000 And I understand people in the audience are coming a little hot.
00:27:20.000 We try to play it straight here.
00:27:22.000 We ask the tough questions of both of them.
00:27:23.000 I just want to make sure everybody understands.
00:27:25.000 This comes from Susie Wiles, who is essentially the campaign director and chief of staff for President Trump.
00:27:31.000 And I want to quote, and if Denver can put it up on the screen.
00:27:34.000 Much of the spending currently being discussed in the RNC leadership race came at the direction of the White House.
00:27:41.000 Those spreading falsehoods are doing so to use this as a weapon against Ronald McDaniel and are being misleading and disingenuous.
00:27:50.000 End quote.
00:27:51.000 Let me just repeat that.
00:27:52.000 This is from President Trump's right-hand person.
00:27:55.000 Quote.
00:27:56.000 We'll get that up on the screen.
00:28:14.000 Look, this thing is going to get, it's already nasty.
00:28:17.000 It's going to get nastier.
00:28:18.000 It's going to get more intense and it's going to go all the way up to the 23rd.
00:28:22.000 So strap in.
00:28:23.000 But we're going to give both sides ample opportunity to defend their positions and put forward other positions.
00:28:29.000 I'm sure there's going to be a lot more coming in on this.
00:28:31.000 Let me go to Mike Howe over at Heritage.
00:28:34.000 Mike, can you give us an update on amnesty?
00:28:36.000 We want to know, I'm hearing that it might have been blunted and a lot of that work and a lot of the thanks as to what you guys have done at Heritage.
00:28:45.000 Can you tell us what's going on?
00:28:47.000 Right.
00:28:48.000 So about a couple of weeks ago, Senator Tillis and Senator Sinema announced they had reached a framework agreement on a massive amnesty deal.
00:28:57.000 They never even got around to rolling out the tax because this thing got slaughtered from all sides.
00:29:01.000 We were happy at Heritage to play a big role in it.
00:29:04.000 Basically what they wanted to do was they announced amnesty for about $2 million.
00:29:09.000 If you kind of read into their framework, it would have gone up to $10 million.
00:29:12.000 So this is the biggest amnesty in American history by far.
00:29:15.000 And then they were purporting to have some small border security fixes.
00:29:18.000 But what in reality they actually aimed to do was set up massive illegal alien welcoming centers at the border.
00:29:24.000 So basically it would work in the future like this.
00:29:26.000 An illegal alien would come to the border, immediately be processed in one of these massive facilities and then be dispersed around the country.
00:29:32.000 So they thought this was a border security fix, wasn't anything close, wasn't a serious effort.
00:29:36.000 Credit to a lot of the outside groups.
00:29:38.000 Our partners at Federation for American Immigration Reform, FAIR, Numbers USA, America First Policy Institute, et cetera.
00:29:45.000 Everybody smelled this as being an absolute fraud all over it.
00:29:49.000 The grassroots lit up the phone lines and it never got out of the gate.
00:29:53.000 Tillis couldn't get one other Republican even say something nice about it.
00:29:56.000 So much credit for people holding the line.
00:29:59.000 By the way, that's all those phone calls and this is what makes it happen.
00:30:03.000 Talk to me about what's happening.
00:30:05.000 You saw this thing we had Todd Benzman on today about the remain in Mexico, but the Biden administration has already stripped it down.
00:30:12.000 What is Heritage Anticipating's Anticipate going to happen on the 21st of December?
00:30:18.000 How bad is it going to be and what can leaders up here on Capitol Hill do about it?
00:30:24.000 Right. So the comparison I use right now is the border is a terminally ill patient on life support by getting rid of Title 42.
00:30:33.000 It's essentially the Biden administration ripping out the cord and pushing the gurney down the staircase.
00:30:38.000 It's going to be a disaster there. I'm getting intelligence reports that some facilities in Mexico are who've been holding tens and tens of thousands of people due to Title 42.
00:30:48.000 Are just going to release them and surge them to the border. We're going to see a wave unlike anything we've seen.
00:30:52.000 And keep in mind, we've been living month after month with record numbers we've never seen before.
00:30:56.000 So we're going to just this crisis is going to absolutely explode right over over Christmas.
00:31:02.000 And what can congressional leaders do? Well, it's pretty obvious, right?
00:31:05.000 You don't fund this stuff. You hold the administration accountable, but they're doing the exact opposite here in the swamp.
00:31:10.000 There's a big omnibus bill that they're trying to pass that would give the Department of Homeland Security billions of dollars to continue implementing these things.
00:31:17.000 Why are they doing such a thing? It would take away the ability of next Congress, the incoming folks that were elected to actually assert some leverage through funding.
00:31:26.000 The only reason this is happening is because Senator Shelby, who's the Republican appropriations chair, has enough pork in there that he can retire on his nice little sendoff gift to himself to get some more buildings named after him in Alabama.
00:31:38.000 It does no good for the American people.
00:31:41.000 By the way, when you did this thing, when you did this study with with the NGOs, I think 35 and had the cell phones, you see how they're going all the way through the country.
00:31:50.000 So this is every town's a border town. All those NGOs essentially are primarily funded through the U.S. government through this omnibus bill. Is that correct, sir?
00:32:02.000 Correct. I think the number 720 billion last I checked.
00:32:05.000 They want to give this money to FEMA to then grant out to these NGOs.
00:32:09.000 That is a lot of money. I mean, you could solve this border crisis for 50 cents of kinkos if you just printed the executive orders and change the policy.
00:32:17.000 This is a policy made crisis. It doesn't take money to fix.
00:32:20.000 It takes keeping Title 42, remain in Mexico, actually turning back on ice because they shut down ice.
00:32:27.000 So illegal aliens know if they get into the interior, they're not getting removed.
00:32:30.000 All these things are just policy.
00:32:33.000 Mike, how do people follow you guys at Heritage to stay on top of this?
00:32:38.000 On Twitter and Getter, it's just at Heritage. I'm at M Howell tweets.
00:32:42.000 Mike, thank you so much. Great job.
00:32:45.000 I want to give everybody the number because we know that it's having an impact.
00:32:50.000 You see in the Hill stories, you see in the political stories, 2-0-2, 2-2-4, 3-1-2-1 is the Senate.
00:32:57.000 2-0-2, 2-2-5, 3-1-2-1 is the House.
00:33:02.000 So it's 2-2-4 for the Senate, 2-2-5 for the House.
00:33:05.000 Make sure you call particularly on the Senate side because they've got to break filibuster.
00:33:08.000 They need 10. They need 10 Republican collaborators.
00:33:12.000 Do you have Christina Bob up?
00:33:14.000 Yes.
00:33:15.000 OK, let's go to Christina Bob. I've got Boris Christina Bob.
00:33:17.000 Christina, breaking news out of Maricopa County.
00:33:20.000 A lot of people got very excited when they first saw this.
00:33:23.000 Walk us through exactly what the judge said today and how big a deal is this?
00:33:28.000 Right. So in the complaint, Carrie Lake requested access to the ballots to be able to inspect them.
00:33:36.000 That's actually part of the statute under which she sued the election contest.
00:33:40.000 And according to the statute, she has a right to inspect a sampling of the ballots.
00:33:45.000 It's not a lot. I want to say it's maybe 50.
00:33:47.000 It's a very small number, but it's a sampling.
00:33:49.000 And each side gets to appoint someone to go and inspect altogether.
00:33:53.000 You know, it's all done in accordance with the statute.
00:33:55.000 The judge granted that request today, which is good.
00:33:59.000 But I would say it's basically just in line with the statute.
00:34:02.000 So it's a good indication in the sense that he followed the law and did what the law requires.
00:34:07.000 But it's not he didn't have to make an opinion or weigh the facts to make this decision.
00:34:13.000 It was written in black letter law. He followed it. They get to inspect.
00:34:18.000 And then on Monday, the 19th, they have a motion to dismiss the defendants.
00:34:23.000 Maricopa County, Katie Hobbs and the remaining defendants want to file motions to or have filed motions to dismiss.
00:34:29.000 Carrie Lake's team is responding to them tomorrow.
00:34:32.000 And then those will be heard on Monday.
00:34:35.000 And I know if that motion to dismiss gets granted, then the ballot inspection obviously becomes moot.
00:34:43.000 So it's kind of a weird order in which these things are going.
00:34:48.000 But because it's such a jammed timeline, the judge said, I know you and I talked about this, but the judge said, recognizing that defendants are confident in their position, the court nonetheless cannot put off all pretrial discovery on the expectation that the case will be dismissed.
00:35:04.000 So he's basically saying, I know defendants are very confident.
00:35:07.000 They think that this case is going to get dismissed, but I can't delay it just because you think you're going to win.
00:35:11.000 So here's the here's the point, though, is that this is the first time even if you go to appeal, this is a big deal that you actually get to go.
00:35:20.000 This is the first. Correct me if I'm wrong. You're the lawyer that's been on this.
00:35:23.000 Right. And you wrote the book about it.
00:35:25.000 You've been on the from the first time on, you know, November 4th, 2020, whether that was in Pennsylvania or Michigan or Arizona or Nevada.
00:35:35.340 Is this the first time we've really gotten to an evidentiary stage that actually somebody is going to go in a court process?
00:35:42.800 And I understand it's before the motion to dismiss is argued. Right.
00:35:47.120 Right. But is this the first time that actually somebody is going to actually go look at evidence and put their hands on evidence?
00:35:52.880 So actually, it actually happened in Michigan in 2020.
00:35:55.920 Matt DiPerno's team was able to go and inspect some of the machines and inspect some of the process there.
00:36:00.860 So to my knowledge, this is the second time that it has happened.
00:36:03.760 There may have been some other smaller cases.
00:36:05.660 If you remember Antrim County, Michigan, everybody got all spun up about it.
00:36:10.160 That happened there. So we're at the Antrim County, Michigan phase right now where the plaintiff side is actually allowed to go look at some of this evidence.
00:36:17.900 And then on Monday, we'll find out if that evidence gets to be presented in court where the public can assess it.
00:36:26.000 So, you know, it's a little bit of a crunched timeline.
00:36:30.220 But I will say the evidence in this case is so solid.
00:36:34.060 I don't know how a court could dismiss it.
00:36:36.080 We've got emails from the secretary of state slash Democrat candidate colluding with Twitter and the federal government to censor political speech election speech.
00:36:45.420 You've got the Maricopa County recorder colluding with Twitter and the federal government to censor election speech, to manipulate the outcome of this election.
00:36:55.620 You've got an expert witness saying that the machine, an expert who has certified these machines for the last nine years, saying that they're lawful to use and that they're in good working condition,
00:37:06.220 saying that the error that occurred on Election Day, because we saw how many Republicans were disenfranchised because over half the machines broke on Election Day, that error was intentional.
00:37:16.240 You have a whistleblower from Runbeck, the ballot company that says over 300 or excuse me, approximately 300,000 ballots were illegally asserted, inserted into the tally, not coming from drop boxes, not coming from polling locations,
00:37:29.240 but just being brought in by employees, not within the lawful chain of custody.
00:37:33.740 I mean, there's so much evidence in this case, I don't see how a court can dismiss it.
00:37:38.220 So I think Kerry survives on Monday, but we'll see.
00:37:42.480 Real quickly, what the judge allowed today, what will actually happen?
00:37:46.460 Do you know technically what happens about these ballots, the inspection?
00:37:49.640 How will that take place between now and Monday?
00:37:52.840 So I don't know that the actual inspection will be completed by Monday.
00:37:56.160 I think each side is going to have to nominate their person.
00:37:59.460 The court asked for names.
00:38:01.160 Who do you want your person to be to go inspect the ballots?
00:38:04.640 I know Kerry Lake's team has their forensic expert that they'll nominate.
00:38:08.820 The county gets to do that as well.
00:38:10.460 So those names will be put forward.
00:38:12.800 And then whenever the court appoints it or whenever the parties can agree, I would expect early next week,
00:38:19.320 they will go and get to see the sampling of the ballots and do their testing or whatever it is that they're doing.
00:38:24.780 And then they can use that information in the trial because the trial date has been set for the 21st and 22nd.
00:38:30.940 And they'll use it that time to present to the court.
00:38:35.760 Just given the schedule here, because this will be both either side will appeal, right?
00:38:41.580 And it'll appeal all the way up to the Arizona Supreme Court.
00:38:43.740 But just given, I think, the inauguration day is Monday the 2nd, is there enough time here over the holidays actually to get this done?
00:38:53.420 Is your belief they're going to have to delay the inauguration just to get to all this?
00:39:00.580 I don't know what they'll do with the inauguration.
00:39:02.900 I don't expect this to be wrapped up by the 2nd, but I know that there's case history in Arizona where someone was inaugurated and then the contest, the election contest, was successful and that governor was removed from office.
00:39:16.300 So there is history for this.
00:39:18.060 I'm not too worried about whether Katie Hobbs gets inaugurated or not.
00:39:22.580 As long as Carrie Lake wins her contest, she'll be inaugurated.
00:39:28.420 And whether Katie Hobbs has to step down or what the situation is, I'm not too worried about that.
00:39:34.900 But I expect Carrie Lake to have a very solid showing in this case and hopefully be the governor of Arizona.
00:39:42.180 And overall today, you say this is a good day for Team Carrie Lake?
00:39:47.000 Well, I would say any day where the court's not throwing us out is a good day.
00:39:50.700 So, yes, I'll take it as a win.
00:39:52.440 But to be fair, I think the judge was just impartially applying the law.
00:39:56.300 And this was a pretty clear, clear-cut case.
00:39:59.760 And he followed it to the T.
00:40:01.180 So I think it's good.
00:40:03.100 Perfect.
00:40:04.220 How do people get to you?
00:40:05.800 How do they get to the book and how do they get to your social media?
00:40:09.040 Yes, thank you.

00:45:08.760 Boris Epstein, very, very powerful day to day.
00:45:13.160 The president did a couple of things.
00:45:14.480 Number one, he went and talked, and we'll get this footage up in a second.
00:45:17.800 He went and addressed, I think, looked like 300 or 400 rabbis down in South Florida.
00:45:23.200 I want to talk about that.
00:45:24.880 He also gave an incredible interview to Breitbart, right, that we'll talk about that.
00:45:31.260 He then put up, which is dear to our heart, a true social that put Mitch McConnell on blast and any collaboration of Republicans that would even think of, would even think of supporting the omnibus bill.
00:45:45.160 And he laid it out very specifically.
00:45:47.480 And then we've got, of course, the Matt Taibbi thing is breaking right now.
00:45:51.220 And Matt Taibbi, I just want to read this before I bring Boris in.
00:45:54.640 Boris, I know you haven't seen this, but Matt Taibbi, and Matt Taibbi is no Trump, he's no Trumpanista.
00:46:00.360 He's not, I wouldn't say he's a hater, but he's a liberal left-wing guy at Rolling Stone.
00:46:10.880 This is his tweet.
00:46:11.740 And by the way, the Twitter file's next phase is called, I think Twitter is a subsidiary of the FBI, is a subsidiary of the FBI.
00:46:20.340 Here's his quote right here, Matt.
00:46:22.140 Here's his quote.
00:46:22.960 Instead of chasing child sex predators or terrorists, the FBI has agents, lots of them, analyzing and mass-flagging social media posts, not as part of any criminal investigation, but as a permanent and in itself surveillance operation.
00:46:40.100 People should not be okay with this.
00:46:42.960 Let's start with that blockbuster right there, Boris Epstein.
00:46:45.780 Is this prove our theory of the case that the FBI and the Justice Department was directly involved in an effort to take down President Trump and remove him from office, either through impeachment or remove him from office through denying him his massive victory, sir?
00:47:04.340 Stephen, a thousand percent yes.
00:47:06.180 A thousand percent yes.
00:47:07.800 What this proves is that the FBI, working with big tech, working with Democrats and other bad actors, did all they could, broke any law they could, absolutely subverted the will of the American people, rigged and stole the 2020 election, and stole it from the American people.
00:47:26.080 That's what this proves again.
00:47:28.000 And hey, now, how much more proof could anyone need, right?
00:47:31.420 Now we've had about 15 rounds of irrefutable, incontrovertible proof.
00:47:36.300 And that we know for a fact.
00:47:38.560 Boris, this actually blows me away when a liberal like my table who's been in the files, instead of chasing child sex murderers or terrorists, the FBI has agents, lots of them, analyzing and mass flagging social media posts, not as part of any criminal investigation, but as a permanent and in itself surveillance operation.
00:47:59.460 People should not be okay with this.
00:48:02.140 This is a game changer.
00:48:03.080 What they're finding on Twitter right now is a game changer, sir.
00:48:06.300 It is a, it is, here's what I would say, Steve.
00:48:09.140 I wouldn't say it's a game changer.
00:48:10.760 I'd say it's a game ender.
00:48:12.320 That's it.
00:48:12.960 No more games.
00:48:13.840 No more jokes.
00:48:14.600 No more questions.
00:48:15.740 It is now absolutely without doubt that this election was stolen.
00:48:20.560 And the top levels of law enforcement were a part of it.
00:48:22.820 And we've got to end, we've got to end weaponization of law enforcement, targeting the political enemies by law enforcement.
00:48:29.660 And we've got to end meddling in our elections by law enforcement and those who they collude with, including, of course, big tech, Twitter being a prime complex.
00:48:39.260 Look, there's no conspiracy, but the no coincidence, brother.
00:48:43.920 How do you put in context that President Trump came out with that seven-minute video yesterday that essentially takes Matt Taibbi's warning and says, hey, I have a solution?
00:48:54.820 That's pretty stunning on the timing of it.
00:48:56.760 Is it not, sir?
00:48:57.380 As you say, Steve, no coincidences, no conspiracies, no coincidences.
00:49:03.900 I think it is clear as day to President Trump, it's clear to all American people that censorship, meddling, and overreach by big tech are now damaging our country to its very core.
00:49:18.200 And President Trump is going to do all he can to fight that, everything in his power now and everything in his power, once he's back in the Oval Office at the latest, Jan 20, 2025.
00:49:29.960 We've got a couple of minutes here.
00:49:31.700 The rabbis and the Breitbart interview, the incredible interview over Breitbart, of a piece.
00:49:39.160 Tell us about that.
00:49:40.700 Steve, I had the honor of being there in the room today.
00:49:42.720 President Trump speaking to a group of distinguished rabbis from all over the country.
00:49:48.260 There's about 300 people at least there in the room.
00:49:50.800 I counted, and I'm going to give you all by a couple, maybe more than this, I counted at least eight standing ovations for President Trump on everything from the Abraham Accords to combating anti-Semitism to releasing Rubashkin.
00:50:02.660 President Trump delivering a powerhouse to the Jewish community today at Doral in Miami and South Florida.
00:50:08.740 And then having an interview with Matt Boyle, you know, real honey badger of Breitbart, a true vintage interview among, across all issues, across all policies today, hitting specifically that there is no room for Nick Fuentes, no room for disgusting anti-Semites in NAGA, no room for anti-Semites in the Republican Party or in America as a whole.
00:50:27.740 And then going on to talk about what we need to do to bring our country back from the brink.
00:50:33.400 And then, of course, Steve, that powerful post this morning from President Trump calling on all Republicans to not allow for Mitch McConnell to continue to destroy our economy, to stand against this disgusting boondoggle of an omnibus and hold out until Republicans are in control of the House on January 3rd.
00:50:52.260 Boyles, how do people get to you?
00:50:53.780 Because there's a lot of activity going on.
00:50:55.480 They've got to keep up to speed.
00:50:56.460 They've got to be on your social media.
00:50:57.660 Where do they go?
00:50:58.420 Steve, we're having a good time.
00:50:59.800 President Trump is firing on all cylinders.
00:51:01.480 We're proud of what we are putting out there.
00:51:04.380 The video yesterday, the true post today, and in this powerhouse speech by President Trump.
