00:00:00.840 Okay, welcome. You're in the war room. It's Tuesday, 3 January, in the year of our Lord, 2023.
00:00:06.660 You're watching, you're seeing the floor of the House. They just finished the third ballot.
00:00:13.300 And this historic day has not happened for over 100 years, or 100 years, where I think they went to nine ballots over, I think it was three days.
00:00:24.360 We just finished the third ballot, and Kevin McCarthy lost another vote.
00:00:29.060 Byron Donalds from Florida, who I think has been pretty strongly in McCarthy's camp, voted, came on, I think he just called into Larry Kudlow's show, said that he was on CNN earlier, saying, hey, you got to get somebody to get to 218 that can close the deal.
00:00:43.700 I mean, this was a pretty, although one vote pretty big blow, because he made the case that Kevin McCarthy couldn't get to 218, and he flipped his vote.
00:00:51.940 I think the preliminary is going to be Jeffries, 212, Kevin McCarthy, 202, and now 20 of the anti-anybody-but-McCarthy vote.
00:01:03.140 And there's a lot of knives out and hostility people should know behind the scenes, a lot of arm twisting.
00:01:08.800 We've got a cold open we're going to play.
00:01:11.020 I really want to thank Real America's Voice for having this great shot of the House.
00:01:15.420 Let me bring in Rudy Giuliani, and I'm going to get Boris Epstein, so as Boris is up, and we've got Lauren Boeber's going to call in. 0.95
00:01:22.520 A lot of people, if we can get them on the phone, are going to take them as they come. 0.99
00:01:26.740 Rudy, you've been around a long time, sir.
00:01:29.100 You haven't been around 100 years.
00:01:31.020 This is pretty historic.
00:01:32.720 We're already finished the third ballot, and we're no closer to getting something done than we were last night, sir.
00:01:39.080 The longer it goes, obviously, for McCarthy, to win the nomination, and I have to analogize it a little bit to the old convention that you and I are aware of, you've got to keep growing on each ballot.
00:01:54.780 So even though it's a slip of only one vote, he'd have been a lot better off if he had picked up two votes to start creating some momentum.
00:02:09.120 The problem is, unless they're finding no opposition, but if McCarthy keeps losing votes, let's say the next one, he loses four or five.
00:02:22.120 But that's when there'll be the discussion of opposition.
00:02:27.700 Reminds me a little bit of the conclave, picking a poll.
00:02:33.180 Yeah, you're waiting for white smoke.
00:02:37.280 Hey, Rudy, hang on for one second.
00:02:38.640 I want to get Rudy's sound fix, because it's kind of coming in and out.
00:02:42.220 Let's get Boris.
00:02:42.880 We've got Boris, I think, on the phone.
00:02:44.240 Let's bring in Boris Epstein.
00:02:46.700 Boris, can we reboot Rudy and try to get that audio to work?
00:02:50.200 Boris, we've got the view there.
00:02:53.340 Thanks for Real America's Voice.
00:02:54.340 We've got this beautiful shot of the house.
00:02:57.100 Right there, Boris, the drama's playing out in front of the American people in the world.
00:03:00.520 But as you know, there's a lot more drama in the cloakroom right behind the scenes, where I hear the quote is,
00:03:06.420 and I'm taking this from one of the 20 that has voted against McCarthy since the first round.
00:03:12.840 He said the knives are out now.
00:03:15.980 Boris Epstein, give us your assessment.
00:03:17.240 Steve, honored to be with you.
00:03:19.900 Honored to be with the posse.
00:03:20.920 Happy New Year to everybody.
00:03:22.580 Wishing everyone health and toughness, toughness in this year.
00:03:27.000 And we are starting with a tough battle in the House of Representatives.
00:03:30.400 No doubt about it.
00:03:31.300 Very interesting to see what's going on.
00:03:33.940 Now in the third battle, on the third ballot, it's also a battle.
00:03:38.380 You know, the perspective was that this may have never gone to the floor.
00:03:46.760 Now it's on the floor.
00:03:47.820 Now we're through three ballots.
00:03:49.460 And the expectation is that there's likely to be a, there's likely to be a resort, you know,
00:03:56.200 some sort of recess and they go back to conference and reconvene tomorrow.
00:04:00.080 So a lot could, a lot could change.
00:04:02.860 Is there a chance that Kevin McCarthy goes back to the holdouts and, and strikes a deal?
00:04:09.880 Sure.
00:04:10.100 There's a chance of that.
00:04:11.060 Is there a chance that an alternative candidate is put up a thousand percent alternative?
00:04:17.020 Meaning neither McCarthy nor Jordan.
00:04:18.680 Could Jim Jordan continue to pick up, continue to pick up ballots?
00:04:22.420 Absolutely.
00:04:22.960 As he did pick up with Byron Donald, you know, just a few minutes ago.
00:04:26.740 So a lot happening in what's interesting about it is that, and Rudy alluded to this, the
00:04:36.080 direction was important.
00:04:38.220 The direction of the vote was important.
00:04:40.380 And by Byron Donald defecting and go after two votes for, for Kevin McCarthy and going,
00:04:46.700 going for Jim Jordan, that's definitely a signal.
00:04:49.600 Now the flip side of that is no one followed.
00:04:52.820 None of the other McCarthy votes followed.
00:04:54.520 So I actually did view, and I think this, excuse me, you and I spoke about it, I thought
00:04:58.300 that the third ballot was going to be vital.
00:05:00.080 That could have been a ballot for major, major movement back to Kevin McCarthy.
00:05:04.580 That didn't, that didn't occur, obviously.
00:05:06.580 So now I think the next, the next public move is going to be likely tomorrow, unless there's
00:05:12.860 some sort of deal struck and there's a consensus candidate that comes out of this, that comes
00:05:16.800 out of this tonight.
00:05:17.460 So exciting, it's an exciting time.
00:05:21.680 It's a difficult time, but it's also a time where now the strong, let's just be honest,
00:05:29.340 a lot of the holdouts are top, top MAGA people.
00:05:32.120 Chip Roy, we have had a lot of disagreements with, but his position on the omnibus, for
00:05:37.140 example, was absolutely spot on.
00:05:39.700 There's other things that Chip Roy and I disagree with on, and I always disagree with him, but
00:05:43.060 he tweeted about it a few weeks ago.
00:05:45.580 But what you have...
00:05:46.060 But this is, but this is, but this is about, we're going to have Bover call in a second,
00:05:49.180 this is MAGA versus, this is MAGA versus the cartel.
00:05:52.440 There's no doubt about it.
00:05:53.320 And you're adding, you know, Donald's is a recent, is a recent convert.
00:05:58.960 But now this is MAGA, and these people are, it looks like they're dug in.
00:06:02.480 The two, you know, we got a little bit of Gates we're going to play, and we're going
00:06:06.020 to play, we're going to play Chip Roy's in a second.
00:06:08.660 But Jim Jordan's nomination speech for McCarthy and, and Scalise's nomination speech for McCarthy
00:06:16.700 for the second and third round look like nomination speeches for themselves.
00:06:21.220 Did they not, sir?
00:06:22.200 They barely mentioned Kevin McCarthy, and they certainly didn't say, don't vote for me.
00:06:27.040 They did not say, don't vote for me in a coming round.
00:06:30.340 Am I, am I incorrect on that?
00:06:31.860 Was there, was that signal, not noise?
00:06:34.880 You're not incorrect.
00:06:35.900 You're not correct at all, and you're always giving signal to the posse.
00:06:39.080 That's all we do here.
00:06:40.160 Always signal for the posse, never noise.
00:06:43.060 Also, here's the other thing, and it's pure math.
00:06:45.300 You know, going into this morning, you know, the suspicion was that there were five hard
00:06:48.460 no's.
00:06:49.340 Now, after, after three ballots, there's 19 hard no's, plus a defection in addition to
00:06:55.240 the no's from Byron Donald.
00:06:57.440 The numbers are different.
00:06:58.460 It's no longer, you know, five is a, almost, you know, close to the margin of error.
00:07:03.260 When you're talking about 19, 20, and again, going, you know, going toward the no's, you're
00:07:10.500 four times, you're five times the margin of error.
00:07:13.480 This is a significant gap.
00:07:16.400 And how does the gap play out?
00:07:17.980 You're so, I've seen some actual social media talking about there could be, you know, over
00:07:21.840 a hundred, a hundred votes.
00:07:23.540 Do I think that's going to happen?
00:07:24.600 No.
00:07:24.760 I think for the best of the country, this is going to get worked out, and there's going
00:07:29.460 to be some consensus arrangement worked out, but it's got to be one that's workable long
00:07:36.160 term for the American people.
00:07:38.640 Workable long term for the American people, which means we've got to stand up to McConnell.
00:07:42.800 We've got to stand up to Biden.
00:07:44.780 We've got to stand up to Chuck Schumer.
00:07:46.940 We've got to fight for America and fight for our MAGA values.
00:07:50.200 And McCarthy's pushing right now, the McCarthy guys are pushing that there's some blue dog
00:07:57.000 Democrats, if they even exist anymore.
00:07:59.300 Supposedly some centrist blue dog Democrats are in discussions with moderate Republicans
00:08:04.380 about putting together a coalition government, a coalition in the House.
00:08:09.840 Is that totally absurdity, or do you think that's a real threat?
00:08:13.980 Because that's being pushed now by the networks.
00:08:16.420 I think it's coming from McCarthy camp.
00:08:18.180 Is that if you don't get on board the Kevin train, you're going to have a coalition government
00:08:22.220 aboard Seppstein.
00:08:24.780 Well, I'm pretty familiar with the Israeli model.
00:08:28.320 And with the coalition government, if you have a tiny defection that doesn't work, so
00:08:31.940 now if you have, say, 20 for easy math who are dug in, those 20 are not going to go for
00:08:37.240 a coalition government.
00:08:38.180 So how is that ever going to work out?
00:08:39.920 Remember, to get Speaker, you've got to get a majority of those voted.
00:08:44.200 So unless the plan is for hundreds to vote present or to not vote and not show up, that's just
00:08:51.780 not going to work.
00:08:53.040 The model of government here is not the Israeli model.
00:08:56.460 We don't have the first past the post.
00:08:58.500 We don't have 10 parties with four smaller parties making a lot of difference.
00:09:04.840 We don't have the British model either. 0.72
00:09:06.300 So I don't see how that works out.
00:09:08.700 I think the only answer here is for Republicans to go back into recess and do hard work.
00:09:15.020 And Byron Donaldson actually put out a very good tweet on it.
00:09:17.160 The democracy can be messy.
00:09:19.140 So go back and, frankly, just figure it out.
00:09:22.320 That's what MAGA wants.
00:09:24.080 That's what the MAGA base wants.
00:09:25.520 That's what Americans want.
00:09:26.840 They fired Nancy Pelosi.
00:09:28.440 So now it's incumbent upon Republicans to figure it out.
00:09:31.200 And the way that's figured out, the only way it can work is if we have a speaker and a
00:09:39.440 leadership team that's going to fight and say no every single time to the federal overreach
00:09:46.780 from the Democrats to the weaponization of law enforcement to targeting of political opponents
00:09:52.680 and to all the woke radical nonsense, the Green, the Green, everything that's being pushed by
00:10:00.360 the Democrats.
00:10:01.360 So what do we expect to see from here on out?
00:10:03.400 I think there's going to be a lot, a lot of wrangling today throughout for the rest of
00:10:08.180 the day and through the night.
00:10:09.400 Tomorrow morning you'll see more voting.
00:10:11.880 And this next ballot is going to be undoubtedly vital because moving on that ballot one way
00:10:17.140 or another is going to tell you what happens.
00:10:19.100 Now, is there a chance that the candidates for speaker tomorrow are totally different
00:10:23.400 than the ones today?
00:10:24.620 Yes, of course there's a chance because remember, last time this happened with Boehner and Kevin
00:10:29.920 McCarthy and Paul Ryan, all that moved around a million times before it settled where it
00:10:35.080 was.
00:10:35.360 And also I do want to remind the posse that the Paul Ryan option was one of the worst
00:10:39.320 things that have happened to the Republican Party in our history, in our history.
00:10:45.280 That is something that is unacceptable and we cannot have anything close to it.
00:10:48.780 As a result of this election, you know, supposedly McCarthy told people this morning that he
00:10:56.760 was going to stay on the floor and vote this out.
00:10:58.620 And eventually it was a test of wills.
00:11:00.660 They go all night and they would break the the MAGA, essentially the MAGA Republicans
00:11:05.920 that eventually they would start cratering and say, OK, there's, you know, so many votes
00:11:10.100 for you.
00:11:11.060 We've got 20, 30, 40, but we'll start they'll start peeling them off. 0.90
00:11:16.040 He would not go into conference.
00:11:17.460 They felt in conference he could get blood out because it got very personal and nasty
00:11:21.000 this morning in the conference.
00:11:22.580 And they would didn't want to expose McCarthy that McCarthy, I think, actually told somebody
00:11:27.040 he would fight it on the floor.
00:11:29.040 And if he had to leave the floor, if they put forward a motion and voted because that would
00:11:33.420 mean his guys were going to go into conference.
00:11:35.720 I heard he said he would resign from Congress and just walk away.
00:11:39.100 Do you think right now, from what you're hearing, they're prepared to to have only just one
00:11:43.100 more vote and then go back into conference?
00:11:45.260 Because I'm going to tell you right now, we've got this great shot Real America's Voice has
00:11:49.000 on the for the radio and podcast audience of people talking on the floor and chatting.
00:11:53.620 They're very, you know, amicable, friendly chit chat on the floor in front of the cameras
00:11:59.320 in the cloakroom.
00:12:00.220 There's wheeling and dealing going on, Boris.
00:12:02.660 I'm hearing the knives are out, right, that they're threatening payback for the recalcitrant
00:12:08.480 20.
00:12:10.140 What are you hearing about that?
00:12:11.420 And what are you hearing about any possibility of going into conference?
00:12:15.060 Well, it does appear, based on reporting in just the last few minutes, that there is
00:12:19.480 a push to go to adjourn.
00:12:21.560 Now, you need 218 votes to adjourn.
00:12:24.280 But, you know, it's a question of what the Democrats do and whether they want to stay
00:12:27.540 there all night, too.
00:12:28.300 So if they adjourn, that means that they're going back, you know, going back from the
00:12:31.760 House floor and it's a conference.
00:12:33.600 Now, here's something interesting.
00:12:34.580 Ken Buck, who has been a supporter of Kevin McCarthy, coming out, said that I think, you
00:12:40.020 know, eventually he expects for McCarthy to lose support as this drags on.
00:12:46.240 So, again, these are all, you know, signs.
00:12:50.680 Right now, what we have is very clear.
00:12:52.560 We have a group of 20 who, you know, 19, not plus 120, and most of them are hard line.
00:12:58.860 And as you said, it's an absolute knife fight.
00:13:01.080 Now, if the reports of threats and, you know, being stripped of committees are true, I will
00:13:06.920 tell you, politically, that's a mistake.
00:13:08.620 Threatening elected members of Congress, you know, for political reasons is a mistake.
00:13:13.080 It's just that's not how the way things get done, you know, anymore.
00:13:16.980 Maybe they haven't been dated in the past, but that's just not the way things get done.
00:13:20.800 And definitely not, you know, the way things get done with a lot of these members who, you
00:13:24.040 know, people like Eli Crane and, again, Chip Hoyt, who I've disagreed with a million times,
00:13:28.300 you know, people who have been very, who are tough and recalcitrant themselves, but are proud
00:13:33.240 to be so, I'm not sure that they respond well to threats.
00:13:36.320 And I think most, you know, overwhelmingly, right, if you have the strength to run for Congress,
00:13:41.780 you're not going to be the kind that responds well to threats and committees about your,
00:13:45.760 you know, personally and honorably held beliefs.
00:13:48.320 I'm not saying they're right or wrong.
00:13:49.800 I'm saying that threatening them to change their beliefs is not the way to go.
00:13:53.700 What is your, what's your social media so people are going to follow you?
00:13:58.480 Steve, honored to be here, honored to talk about this issue.
00:14:01.360 This is a historic moment.
00:14:02.620 There's no two ways about it.
00:14:04.040 Everybody's got to be tuned in all the time.
00:14:06.520 My information, my website, boriscp.com, hot on boriscp.com, hot on getter at boriscp,
00:14:11.800 on Twitter at boriscp, hot on truthsocial at boris, hottest on the gram, boriscp.com.
00:14:16.620 Stay strong.
00:14:18.060 God bless.
00:14:18.600 And I'll talk to you tomorrow.
00:14:19.980 Thank you.
00:14:20.580 Remember, they're fighting for the mega agenda.
00:14:22.420 That's what this is about.
00:14:23.460 As Russ Vogt said so eloquently this morning, this is about the car.
00:14:28.900 Will the lack of a red wave during the midterms lead to a more emboldened Biden,
00:14:33.820 more wasteful government spending, higher taxes, the deepening of inflation?
00:14:37.340 And how do you protect your hard-earned savings from chaotic financial markets?
00:14:42.660 The answer, by diversifying your retirement savings with real physical precious metals
00:14:47.920 with Birch Gold Group.

00:15:32.120 Take action.
00:15:33.340 Use your agency.
00:15:35.640 And until Republicans start to function like that, can you ever expect to effectively govern?
00:15:43.980 No.
00:15:44.700 I think we have to start working together.
00:15:46.860 I mean, I look at states like Arizona right now.
00:15:49.460 I mean, look at Arizona.
00:15:50.340 The top vote-getter in the whole state was a Republican.
00:15:53.700 She got 1,375,000 votes.
00:15:57.080 And the other Republicans that were running in that state, you know who didn't vote for them?
00:16:01.200 Republicans.
00:16:01.680 So if we're so hateful towards each other that other Republicans won't vote for us,
00:16:06.620 then we're doing exactly what the Democrats want, right?
00:16:10.120 And so this scorched earth, I'm going to take on every other Republican, instead of focusing
00:16:14.280 on who voters want us to focus on, which is the Democrats.
00:16:17.880 Remember, the Democrats who are leaving our border open.
00:16:20.300 They're the ones who kept our kids out of school.
00:16:22.460 They're the ones who have allowed crime to run rampant in our streets.
00:16:25.720 That is the Democrat Party. 0.61
00:16:27.140 So as long as we're fighting each other, we are not keeping our eye on the prize.
00:16:31.100 And I think we have to get the speakership settled, and we have to go forward if we're
00:16:35.540 going to be successful in 2024 as a united party.
00:16:38.800 And right now, this exemplifies exactly what the Democrats want to see from our party.
00:16:42.880 The lead, I'm Jake Tapper.
00:16:44.440 We are following the messy, chaotic, first time in a century floor fight for the House
00:16:49.080 Speaker's gavel.
00:16:50.780 Republican leader Kevin McCarthy becoming the first majority party nominee for the
00:16:54.560 speakership to fail on the first, and it appears, second ballot since 1923.
00:16:59.820 The House clerk is trying to call the House to order.
00:17:02.660 Let's listen in.
00:17:03.720 For what purpose does a gentleman from Texas seek recognition?
00:17:09.300 Seek place a name and a nomination, Speaker.
00:17:12.020 The gentleman is recognized.
00:17:14.920 So this is what the chamber looks like when we're actually debating and the bodies are in
00:17:18.480 the chairs.
00:17:21.020 How many times have we been down here giving speeches and there's not a soul in the chamber?
00:17:25.860 Yet this is what it takes to get 435 people in the chamber and have an actual debate.
00:17:32.500 The American people are watching, and that's a good thing.
00:17:38.700 What we're doing is exercising our rights to vote and have a debate and have a discussion
00:17:45.520 about the future of this country through the decision of choosing a speaker.
00:17:51.560 This is not personal.
00:17:53.500 It's not.
00:17:54.780 This is about the future of the country.
00:17:57.680 This is about the direction of the country.
00:17:59.440 American people who are looking at this body and wondering why we can pass $1.7 trillion
00:18:03.720 bills that are unpaid for.
00:18:06.280 They can just slide in $45 billion for Ukraine but not pay for it.
00:18:11.720 $40 billion for emergency spending and not pay for it.
00:18:14.340 10% increase in defense spending.
00:18:16.000 6% increase in non-defense spending.
00:18:18.740 And not pay for it.
00:18:20.320 And not do a thing except put language in a bill that prohibits our ability to use the
00:18:25.260 money to secure the border.
00:18:27.200 However, that bill gets rammed through, and we know exactly how it gets rammed through.
00:18:34.620 Because the defense world and the non-defense world come together and say, you know what?
00:18:42.540 We're going to cut a deal, and we'll all go to the mics, and we're all going to give speeches,
00:18:46.760 and the American people are the big losers.
00:18:49.380 That's what happens.
00:18:51.000 We know that's what happens.
00:18:52.380 The rules committee sits up there and passes a bill, sends it to the floor, and we have
00:18:58.580 no debate on the floor of this body.
00:19:01.100 We haven't been able to offer an amendment on the floor of this body since May of 2016.
00:19:06.140 The former leader and I have discussed this right here.
00:19:09.460 That's true.
00:19:10.220 But the fact is, this place has to change.
00:19:15.240 It has to change.
00:19:17.620 And the change comes by either adopting rules and procedures that will make us actually do
00:19:22.940 our job, or it comes from leadership.
00:19:26.880 And people ask me, what do you want?
00:19:29.360 I want the tools, or I want the leadership, to stop the swamp from running over the average
00:19:35.420 American every single day. 0.81
00:19:37.040 We can't keep doing this.
00:19:44.180 I'm going to sit here until we figure out how to stop spending money we don't have.
00:19:48.940 I don't want any more empty promises.
00:19:51.440 I don't want any more, oh, don't worry, trust us, we'll do it.
00:19:55.460 I want to know that we're going to be able to exercise our rights as a member of this body
00:19:59.020 to stand up for the American people and actually fix this country.
00:20:02.340 And it's not going to happen when we use our men and women in uniform and defense and wrap
00:20:08.340 ourselves around that and then spend more money that we don't have, weakening that defense,
00:20:13.040 weakening our country in the process.
00:20:14.800 But that's what we just did.
00:20:18.320 Ladies and gentlemen, I am asking for us to come together and figure out how to solve these
00:20:22.580 problems.
00:20:23.060 And to do that, I'm going to do what I did my very first act as a member of Congress or
00:20:28.520 as a congressman-elect and nominate Jim Jordan for speaker.
00:20:36.060 Now, Jim has said he doesn't want that nomination, and Jim has been down here nominating Kevin,
00:20:40.480 and I respect that.
00:20:41.780 And again, I have no personal animus towards Kevin.
00:20:44.060 And I've worked for the last two months to try to figure out how to get the rules to
00:20:47.980 make this place better, and we've made progress.
00:20:50.240 But we do not have the tools or the leadership yet to stop the swamp for rolling over the
00:20:55.460 American people.
00:20:56.240 Jim has been doing it.
00:20:57.280 He has a track record of doing it.
00:20:58.780 And for those reasons, I am nominating Jim Jordan from Ohio for Speaker of the House
00:21:02.700 of Representatives.
00:21:06.580 Okay, welcome.
00:21:07.440 Right now, the word is, Jake Sherman is reporting that the House Republicans are working in the
00:21:15.560 cloakroom and behind the scenes to maybe come forward and adjourn this before a fourth ballot
00:21:21.900 to convene overnight, I think, the conference, and to get back at it tomorrow morning.
00:21:27.280 I want to bring in Rudy Giuliani.
00:21:28.760 That was Chip Roy.
00:21:29.260 The three best moments of the day from the speech, Chip Roy's nomination of Jim Jordan,
00:21:34.180 Jim Jordan's nomination of McCarthy, where he really made the case for himself as Speaker,
00:21:41.180 and Matt Gaetz's later, his also nomination for Jim Jordan the first time in the second
00:21:47.160 round, which surprised everybody.
00:21:49.100 Rudy, this is not your first rodeo.
00:21:51.800 Tell people what's going on right here.
00:21:53.240 Can Kevin McCarthy muscle his way through now that they've increased?
00:21:57.240 He's got 20 votes against him.
00:21:58.960 Can he muscle this through?
00:22:00.060 If they go to conferences at the end of McCarthy's attempt at becoming Speaker, or do you think
00:22:06.780 behind the scenes he twists enough arms, cuts enough deals, pleads with enough people to
00:22:11.560 either do it later tonight or bring it back tomorrow morning, sir?
00:22:14.900 I'm going on instinct here, Steve.
00:22:17.260 I think that group of whatever you want to call it, 20 or 8 or 5 or whatever, I think they
00:22:23.800 have sought this out.
00:22:25.060 But I think they've got an Act 2 and an Act 3 and an Act 4 to follow, and I don't think
00:22:30.340 it includes Speaker McCarthy, a Speaker McCarthy.
00:22:34.540 So I guess what I'm telling you is, unless surprisingly he picks up a vote or two on the next vote,
00:22:43.900 it's over to him, I think.
00:22:45.580 And I also think that, although they haven't revealed it, we know these people.
00:22:50.900 These are very smart people.
00:22:52.840 This wasn't done just on a guess, like we're going to come up with somebody as a candidate.
00:22:59.520 They've got somebody in mind that might not even be the first one that comes out of there.
00:23:04.620 I think there's a plan here, I guess is what I'm saying.
00:23:11.400 And I think right now it would seem to me, I don't get how he's going to turn these people
00:23:18.420 and they're going to start voting for him?
00:23:23.640 They're pretty far out there now.
00:23:26.000 And I don't think they would have gotten themselves that far out without a plan.
00:23:30.860 Rudy, you were the president's lawyer for the first impeachment effort.
00:23:37.720 You've worked very closely with Jordan.
00:23:40.100 Jordan is obviously revered by the war room.
00:23:42.520 Yeah, I love him.
00:23:45.540 Jordan is my favorite member of Congress.
00:23:48.160 The way you put him up on a pedestal, if you want.
00:23:51.900 Well, tell us about that, because that's a big endorsement.
00:23:53.880 Tell us about Jim Jordan and your working relationship with him.
00:23:55.820 I work with these people very, very closely, as you know.
00:23:59.720 Going way back before anybody even knew I was involved.
00:24:04.300 And I can tell you the ones who are 100%, Gates is 100%, Jordan's 100%.
00:24:13.040 Not 98%, not 97%, 100%.
00:24:16.720 Not just 100% loyal to Trump, 100% they understand what's happening to our country.
00:24:23.720 Some people kind of get it.
00:24:30.860 Some of them don't get it completely.
00:24:32.840 Others have their own agendas.
00:24:35.520 But one of the reasons I was okay with McCarthy is because Jordan is okay with McCarthy.
00:24:42.900 I trust him completely.
00:24:45.000 But, of course, I'd be much happier with the real thing.
00:24:47.420 Rudy, one of the things they laid out today that's so important is the kind of discrepancy, although McCarthy has come and said we're going to have a joint committee on weaponization of government.
00:24:59.360 Is there anybody better in your mind than going after the administrative state and the deep state than Jim Jordan?
00:25:05.100 No, no.
00:25:08.100 No.
00:25:08.640 I mean, the only thing is I almost wouldn't want to waste time as speaker.
00:25:17.500 He's such a good investigator, and he has no fear.
00:25:25.320 Now, that's also true of about eight or ten of them.
00:25:28.860 I mean, think of the great job they did during both impeachments.
00:25:31.960 I'm talking about Biggs and Bishop and Gates, and I mean, they were our go-to people, right?
00:25:43.720 When I – those are the ones I could count on, and he could.
00:25:52.620 Rudy, could you hang on for a second because I want to hold you through the break.
00:25:56.580 I know you finished your show.
00:25:57.560 If you can just hold on, we're going to go to break.
00:25:58.960 Oh, yeah, sure.
00:25:59.740 Happy to.
00:26:00.300 Just want to put in for a second.
00:26:01.660 Okay.
00:26:02.400 What you're watching is the – there are – we just finished round three of the ballots, the third ballot,
00:26:10.820 and we're going to go to either a round four or they've got to put forward a motion to convene that will need 218 votes.
00:26:18.420 If they convene, they're either going to go into conference tonight, which I assume they would,
00:26:22.140 or they're going to go into conference early tomorrow morning like they did today.
00:26:25.620 And I understand that that conference got very personal and nasty.
00:26:29.020 You saw a little bit of it on the show with Congressman MTG going after Boebert and General Perry and, of course, Matt Gates.
00:26:39.980 In fact, Congressman Boebert reached out to me after she saw the clip and wanted specifically to come on and to answer those – I don't know if they're even allegations, but what was said because she said she was just pushing the overall agenda for people.
00:26:53.920 So we don't know.
00:26:54.920 We may be going to a fourth round.
00:26:56.360 What we know is that another vote is going against McCarthy.
00:26:58.860 So the populist movement, the Trump movement versus the cartel, is still a fight.
00:27:06.300 If you cut on any other channel, what you hear is nonstop about the disorganization, the chaos, all of it.
00:27:12.680 I think it looks pretty organized.
00:27:15.160 They had a plan, put Jordan up right away as the counter to McCarthy, and that's where we sit.
00:27:19.900 We've got Rudy Giuliani.
00:27:20.900 We've got Caroline Wren. 0.96
00:27:22.540 We're trying to get a congressman from Boebert and a host of others.
00:27:24.900 Anybody that can get off the floor and call, we're going to take a short break.
00:27:29.040 Back in a moment.
00:27:33.980 Fair warning.
00:27:35.120 Listen to this convicted home title thief explaining what happens when he forges your home's title and takes over as the new owner.
00:27:44.340 Nobody thinks that I can take their house and borrow against the house.
00:27:47.060 Oh, no, I have title insurance.
00:27:48.600 It's in my name.
00:27:49.660 He would have to get some special document.
00:27:51.920 They would call me.
00:27:53.280 You know, nobody's calling you.
00:27:55.000 You're living in a delusion.
00:27:56.720 After I've stolen the title, borrowed against it, or sold the property, it's 60 to 90 days for that person to even figure out that they're the victim of this crime.
00:28:04.500 You start getting foreclosure notices.
00:28:06.360 You've got four mortgages on your house.
00:28:08.120 You don't even own your home anymore.
00:28:09.340 It's not even in your name.
00:28:10.540 Home title fraud is growing two and a half times faster than credit card fraud.
00:28:14.940 You could be a victim and not even know it.
00:28:16.980 Here's how to protect yourself and verify your home's title is still in your name.

00:28:42.180 So we went to break.
00:28:48.160 The House is adjourned with no speaker selected in three rounds.
00:28:52.140 We're joined now by Congressman Alarne Boebert of Colorado.
00:28:55.580 Congressman, can you give us an update on where we stand?
00:28:58.220 It's been a historic day in the Capitol, particularly in the House of Representatives.
00:29:03.560 Can you walk us through what happened?
00:29:06.040 Sure, Steve.
00:29:06.640 Well, first of all, this is a very historic day.
00:29:09.300 We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fundamentally change the way Washington, D.C.
00:29:15.600 is operated.
00:29:17.340 If you were to ask the American voter if they are happy with the way Congress runs,
00:29:22.840 they would probably tell you, hell no, we're not.
00:29:25.360 But right now, we have now completed three ballots for the speaker's vote.
00:29:31.980 And no one has received a majority.
00:29:35.260 Kevin McCarthy does not have the vote at this time.
00:29:38.780 And the current opposing Republican candidate that has been nominated is Jim Jordan.
00:29:45.800 Now, Jim Jordan, he, at this time, says he doesn't want to accept that.
00:29:50.520 But in my view, George Washington didn't want to be president, but he did what was right
00:29:55.140 for the country.
00:29:55.800 And we have to stand for what we believe in, what we promise the American voter.
00:30:02.080 And, Steve, I want to make this really clear to you.
00:30:04.560 I want the Republican conference to be united.
00:30:08.040 And I have been working every day for months to make sure that that happens.
00:30:12.480 And yesterday, we had a path forward to walk out of here united with Leader McCarthy being
00:30:18.360 supportive of that path.
00:30:19.900 We could have been.
00:30:22.960 But instead, as a part of those discussions with Leader McCarthy, repeatedly, he said that
00:30:29.020 he wanted Freedom Caucus members to participate on more key committees, but said he's had a
00:30:33.620 difficult time getting them there.
00:30:35.140 So we responded with recommendations on who to put where.
00:30:39.040 We requested a commitment for border security, term limits, energy, and debt reduction bills
00:30:44.180 to be put forward, which most, if not all of us, ran on and publicly support.
00:30:50.860 And Kevin McCarthy had an opportunity to be speaker on the first ballot with a gavel in
00:30:55.940 hand.
00:30:56.600 And it was my sincere hope that we could get there, which is exactly what I discussed with
00:31:01.480 my meeting, in my meeting with McCarthy yesterday.
00:31:04.620 But he firmly rejected the offer of 218 votes.
00:31:10.380 Why did he reject that?
00:31:11.660 It seemed like what you put forward was pretty straightforward and kind of what the people
00:31:16.040 voted for in November.
00:31:17.480 I don't think you've asked for any outrageous request.
00:31:20.960 What was it that he just said he couldn't give you guys?
00:31:25.460 Well, the problem is we have been in these negotiations since the summer.
00:31:29.700 We went to Kevin and we were dismissed in the summer because he thought we were going to
00:31:34.620 have this massive red wave and he would not need our vote.
00:31:38.400 So the meeting wasn't taken seriously.
00:31:40.600 He didn't want to follow up with requests that we had to important rule changes.
00:31:45.820 And then as soon as we saw how slim this majority is, that is when he started listening.
00:31:51.840 And he has implemented many of the rule changes that we have put in place.
00:31:57.620 And now he proudly brags about them and says that he supports them and kind of acts like it's
00:32:03.440 his idea, which is fine, take it, run with it.
00:32:06.220 But I'm not sure why he flat out turned this negotiation down.
00:32:12.620 I had a fear that maybe he had had a deal with the Democrats that was cut.
00:32:16.240 But after the third ballot, I don't see that happening.
00:32:19.700 But it was very reasonable what we asked for.
00:32:22.660 It was not a selfish ask.
00:32:24.680 There were no personal requests that are out of the ordinary.
00:32:29.600 He asked us what committees Freedom Caucus members want to be placed on.
00:32:33.780 And we provided that list to him.
00:32:36.240 He said his problem was Freedom Caucus wants to be on the oversight committee and on judiciary.
00:32:40.900 And he has a hard time spreading them out.
00:32:42.440 So we did that and said, here are some places that we could be and be effective so we have
00:32:47.280 a strong conservative presence on these committees to make sure that we are tackling the spending
00:32:53.700 in Washington, D.C., that we are securing the border, that we are having the investigation.
00:32:58.380 So much more.
00:33:00.040 And he flat out rejected that proposal.
00:33:05.080 OK, here's one of the questions I have is that you haven't really been publicly in the
00:33:09.680 forefront.
00:33:10.000 I mean, you put out a week ago, you had a red line and the red line was about the motion
00:33:13.740 to vacate.
00:33:14.760 Talk about your journey, because now it looks like you're one of the lead negotiators,
00:33:19.140 one of the leaders of this kind of movement that are representing the MAGA policies and
00:33:25.660 kind of the MAGA point of view, the MAGA angle of attack.
00:33:29.020 How did that happen?
00:33:29.820 Because you haven't really taken that public stance on all this until it looked like this
00:33:35.660 weekend.
00:33:37.460 Correct.
00:33:37.820 So I have not been public on where I was because I was trying to get people to a place
00:33:43.360 of unity.
00:33:44.080 And I've been working behind the scenes for months to do exactly that, negotiating the
00:33:48.420 rules changes, negotiating the policy that we're going to put forward to save our country.
00:33:53.960 And I had finally got to a point where we had 218 votes for Kevin McCarthy.
00:34:02.120 It was a clean deal and he refused to take it.
00:34:06.040 But this motion to vacate, that was the one thing that I was public on.
00:34:08.920 This is my hard line.
00:34:10.500 Single member motion to vacate.
00:34:12.120 This is our check and balance on the third in line to the presidency of the United States.
00:34:17.660 You cannot demand more responsibility and take away accountability.
00:34:21.920 This is our accountability mechanism to have a check on the Speaker of the House.
00:34:27.300 It's not something that is ever used, but it's there as an enforcement mechanism in case
00:34:34.440 things do go wrong.
00:34:35.680 Nancy Pelosi was the first Speaker to take this away. 0.99
00:34:38.920 The House has had this for nearly two centuries.
00:34:41.520 And Kevin McCarthy wanted to follow her precedence.
00:34:44.640 And I said, that is unacceptable.
00:34:46.520 It wasn't until today, Steve, that a staffer of Kevin McCarthy came out of conference and
00:34:54.260 said, we'll give you the single member motion to vacate.
00:34:57.400 But the problem is, that's where the negotiations really start, because that's when there's
00:35:02.260 accountability.
00:35:02.900 So they matter.
00:35:04.540 That's how we know we're going to get a secure border bill, an energy bill, a term limits
00:35:09.320 bill brought to the floor, and mechanisms to reduce our nation's debt, and so much more.
00:35:17.260 It was today that they said, OK, OK, we'll give it to you.
00:35:21.260 But the other things were left off the table.
00:35:23.860 Now we've been threatened by other members that we're going to not serve on committees
00:35:28.140 at all, simply for standing up for what we believe in and trying to get good policy out
00:35:33.760 of the United States Congress.
00:35:35.800 And this is unacceptable to me.
00:35:38.080 And I've tried my best for several months behind the scenes to get to a place of unity.
00:35:44.460 And Kevin McCarthy is showing that he does not want that unity.
00:35:48.620 He does not want to accept these common sense offers and is pitting members against one another.
00:35:54.300 And I still want to find that place of unity.
00:35:57.740 Maybe it's with Jim Jordan.
00:35:59.240 Maybe it's with a different candidate.
00:36:00.900 Maybe we end up with Lee Zeldin, who really want us the majority of the House.
00:36:04.960 Or maybe it's a Kevin Hearn or a Jim Banks or a Mike Johnson.
00:36:10.260 I don't know.
00:36:10.740 Kevin could come to the Freedom Caucus.
00:36:12.820 These members of the Freedom Caucus and others who have increasingly shown their opposition today.
00:36:20.900 And he may say, OK, this is how we'll run things.
00:36:24.820 And we will have the tools in place to actually govern the way we campaign.
00:36:29.540 So there's a lot there.
00:36:31.900 Let me just go back.
00:36:33.080 First off, are you saying now, because I got some text messages from some people who were part of the original 19 that said during the second round and before third that, quote unquote, the knives are out, particularly in the cloakroom.
00:36:45.400 Are you saying you were threatened by members that you're going to be thrown off committees because of your principled stand on this, that people are actually saying you're going to lose committee assignments, you're going to lose these type of things that you need as a congressman?
00:37:00.940 That is absolutely correct.
00:37:03.520 Today, Mike Johnson stood up in conference and excuse me, Mike Rogers stood up in conference today.
00:37:11.600 And he said, if you vote against Kevin McCarthy today on the floor, you will not have committee assignments.
00:37:21.120 And Kevin McCarthy did not did not go against that.
00:37:25.800 In fact, he stood up and affirmed it.
00:37:27.640 He said that the voters elected their their representatives in their district and the conference elects who goes on to committees.
00:37:37.500 He affirmed what Mike Rogers said, that if we oppose Kevin McCarthy, we will not have committee assignments, which is stripping millions of voices away from the United States House of Representatives who deserve representation, who deserve a strong voice,
00:37:52.540 who deserve an ally and and and need good policies to go to the floor to fix the chaos that the Democrats have caused for the past two years.
00:38:03.800 Hold it. Mike Rogers, this wasn't was this in the was this in the was this in the was this in the conference, the conference when you were in the conference this morning,
00:38:11.820 he actually stood up and said that if you stand on the floor today and vote against McCarthy, you will be stripped of your committee assignments.
00:38:20.900 He said that emphatically and Kevin McCarthy affirmed it.
00:38:24.360 What what but you just said right there, if Kevin McCarthy, if you guys go into conference tonight or tomorrow, if Kevin McCarthy would come back and agree to the to the rules packages and other things that you put forward,
00:38:37.040 is there a way that you think that with the vote now with Donald's joining you at a 20 looks like he's going the wrong direction?
00:38:44.120 Is there a way for Kevin McCarthy to claw his way back here?
00:38:46.860 Is there is there is there a path for Kevin McCarthy to become speaker?
00:38:52.660 I personally don't see a path.
00:38:54.960 I don't see him accepting this this deal that was offered.
00:38:58.840 And with the increasing opposition, it is getting more and more difficult for him.
00:39:04.060 And, you know, Jim Jordan stood up and gave a nominating speech for Kevin McCarthy.
00:39:09.200 And really, his nominating speech just affirmed why he needs to be speaker of the House.
00:39:14.780 This is someone who actually puts America first, who is a proven fighter, who is principled and will put forward the policies that we need right now.
00:39:23.320 But, no, I think it's becoming more and more difficult for Kevin to get that gavel.
00:39:29.500 Last thing, have you asked in any of these negotiations, have you ever asked for anything for yourself personally?
00:39:34.260 It has always been for the team, for the Congress, for the American people.
00:39:38.280 Well, every member of Congress requests which committee assignments they would like to have.
00:39:42.740 And there were certainly some committee assignments that we had suggested because Kevin said he doesn't know where Freedom Caucus members want to go other than oversight and judiciary.
00:39:53.460 And so there were several members who were listed for committee assignments.
00:39:57.940 But, look, Steve, every member of Congress requests committee assignments.
00:40:02.720 It says where they are going to be the most beneficial to serve their districts and to serve our country.
00:40:09.980 Even Marjorie Taylor Greene has requested to be on Rules and Oversight Committee and was granted that by Kevin McCarthy.
00:40:17.540 So this isn't anything that's abnormal.
00:40:19.560 This is something that all 435 members of Congress go to their leaders and request.
00:40:26.160 Congressman, we've got about a minute.
00:40:27.740 You have to bounce.
00:40:28.740 Anything in closing?
00:40:29.660 What should people be looking for to this vast audience for tonight and for tomorrow morning before you guys reconvene?
00:40:36.320 What should people be looking for?
00:40:37.480 You know, I really disbelieve that this process is working as our founders intended.
00:40:42.940 We're supposed to debate.
00:40:44.060 We're supposed to use our votes, not just grant them.
00:40:47.560 I'm optimistic history will show that we are on the right side of the argument and the country will be better off for sticking to our principles and the agenda that we are elected to fight for.
00:40:57.160 I'm very proud to stand with the other 19 members who say, let's get together and debate.
00:41:04.800 The entire House of Representatives was convened together under in one room today.
00:41:11.120 This is not something that I have seen as a member of Congress.
00:41:14.720 And it was a beautiful thing to watch the debate and to be there together, actually casting meaningful votes.
00:41:24.300 So I would tell the American people to remain optimistic.
00:41:29.380 I am your happy warrior.
00:41:30.920 And at the end of the day, we are going to do what is best for the country.
00:41:36.880 As long as it takes, we are going to get this right.
00:41:40.980 Congressman Boebert, what's your social media?
00:41:42.780 What are your coordinates, your website?
00:41:44.140 People can follow you tonight and tomorrow.
00:41:45.540 Yeah, my Twitter is at Lauren Boebert and at Rep Lauren Boebert.
00:41:52.480 And on Facebook, it's Lauren Boebert for Congress.
00:41:56.460 My website is LaurenForFreedom.com.
00:41:59.960 There certainly are a lot of attacks.
00:42:02.120 Kevin McCarthy has our donors calling us.
00:42:06.300 And, you know, he's got a well-organized machine when it comes to the fundraising ties and the lobbyists.
00:42:12.740 And so the claws are definitely out when it comes to that.
00:42:16.100 But this is just another thing that shows who he is fought by.
00:42:20.260 It's not the American people. 0.87
00:42:21.800 It's not Main Street.
00:42:22.660 It's K Street and the lobbyists.
00:42:24.320 And this is one of the main things that needs to change in Washington, D.C.
00:42:28.500 We need to represent the American people and care more about what they think than the lobbyists in Washington, D.C.
00:42:34.820 Congressman Boebert, honored to have you on here.
00:42:36.680 Thank you very much.

00:44:35.780 For what purpose does the gentleman from Florida rise?
00:44:40.920 To nominate a candidate for Speaker of the House.
00:44:43.320 The gentleman is recognized.
00:44:45.880 Well, sometimes we have to do jobs that we don't really want to do.
00:44:50.020 And sometimes we have to do jobs that we are called to do.
00:44:53.400 And so, my colleagues, I rise to nominate the most talented, hardest-working member of the Republican Conference, who just gave a speech with more vision than we have ever heard from the alternative.
00:45:06.820 I'm nominating Jim Jordan.
00:45:08.740 Jim Jordan is humble.
00:45:10.140 Well, perhaps today, humble to a fault, maybe the right person for the job of Speaker of the House isn't someone who has sold shares of themselves for more than a decade to get it.
00:45:30.180 Maybe Jim Jordan is the right person for Speaker of the House because he is not beholden to the lobbyists and special interests who have corrupted this place and corrupted this nation under the leadership of both Republicans and Democrats.
00:45:48.680 Maybe Jim Jordan would be the right person for Speaker of the House because he wouldn't fight us when we try to get a term limits bill on the floor.
00:45:55.300 Maybe Jim Jordan would be the right person because he wouldn't fight us when we try to put a balanced budget on the floor and vote for it.
00:46:02.280 And maybe Jim Jordan is the right person because he would endorse the plan that was built by the Texas delegation to finally secure our border.
00:46:11.020 Mr. Jordan said in his nomination that there are certain bills that we have to pass to fix the problem.
00:46:19.400 The challenge is the alternative has been someone voting for the very bills that have caused these problems.
00:46:27.220 Mr. Jordan says that we cannot accept legislation like the omnibus, and I fully agree.
00:46:33.120 And if Jim Jordan were Speaker of the House, if he were the leader of the Republican team, we wouldn't have that circumstance choking the economy of our country, increasing inflation and diminishing the prospects of a better life for our fellow Americans.
00:46:47.380 And finally, Mr. Jordan said we must engage in rigorous oversight.
00:46:53.460 Every one of my Republican colleagues knows that the person who can lead that oversight effort, who works on it every day, who has the skill and the talent and the will is Jim Jordan.
00:47:04.360 I'm nominating him and I'm voting for him.
00:47:06.340 OK, welcome back, Matt Gates.
00:47:12.420 And you saw when he rolled out this plan weeks ago and people laughed at him right there on the world stage.
00:47:17.740 That's called hitting your mark.
00:47:19.940 That was a magnificent and just what, two and a half minutes to summarize the Jim Jordan and why he would be the best guy to be Speaker of the House.
00:47:28.120 Just a magnificent speech they've adjourned.
00:47:30.520 And let me tell you what's going on in Washington right now.
00:47:32.500 It is crunch time.
00:47:34.220 It's going to get very nasty.
00:47:35.620 You heard Boebert this morning.
00:47:36.820 They said, we're going to strip you. 0.99
00:47:39.100 This is your you've just come in from Colorado or Michigan, wherever you fought like crazy.
00:47:43.300 You've gotten this, you know, in the Congress, you're going to get some assignments and tell the folks back home what you're working on.
00:47:50.420 We're going to strip you. 1.00
00:47:51.860 If you stand up on the floor of the House in front of the world and say that you're going to vote for somebody besides Kevin McCarthy, we're going to strip you because we're going to win.
00:48:01.460 We're going to strip you of your committee assignments.
00:48:04.060 That's why the original 19, that is a profiles.
00:48:07.080 Those are profiles of courage.
00:48:08.560 20 and all the others, too.
00:48:09.740 But that's really remember it was the hard five no's, the 14 with the with the letter, the signatories.
00:48:15.640 And and then Lauren Boebert and others that were working behind the scenes that just really stepped up today.
00:48:20.940 So we promised you drama and tension and it's only getting worse right now.
00:48:26.640 We'll be up on getter lady this evening.
00:48:28.760 Put this forward because this is high stakes poker and it's going to get very nasty.
00:48:32.660 I can tell you in the cloakroom this afternoon way.
00:48:35.160 So the the pats in the back and the glad handing up in the foreground.
00:48:39.360 It's got very nasty behind the scenes and it's going to get a lot nasty.
00:48:42.660 Remember, this is for essentially command by negation.
00:48:46.940 Whoever controls the House has command by negation on the Biden regime in this government.
00:48:52.180 And that's why we're this is for all the marvels.
00:48:55.660 Crom Carmichael, I want you to hear for a couple of minutes.
00:48:58.720 Here's why.
00:48:59.660 Over the holidays, the most important thing that the posse needs is to take care of themselves and their own health, particularly situations we've seen over the last couple of days.
00:49:10.040 And by the way, we're going to have Dr. Ryan Cole in the next hour explain that salty is fantastic, particularly for your cholesterol.
00:49:16.780 Tell us about why.
00:49:18.300 Why do people why should the posse get it and how did they get it with this great special offer that you've got?
00:49:23.800 Steve, thanks again for having me on and thank you for the work you do.
00:49:28.000 This truly is a time of high drama.
00:49:29.940 And here we are at the beginning of the year.
00:49:31.540 We have New Year's resolutions that we try to keep.
00:49:35.660 Some of them are more difficult than others.
00:49:37.320 But I want to give your I want to give the posse one that I've been keeping for 18 years and has helped my health.
00:49:42.980 And that is to take salty, two soft gels of salty a day.
00:49:49.540 Steve, I don't know if you knew Dory Munson or not, but Dory Munson was a conservative talk radio host in Seattle.
00:49:56.560 And he just passed away from a heart attack at age 61, didn't have any signs of cardiac problems.
00:50:04.000 And this is what happens.
00:50:05.080 Fifty percent of the people who have a heart attack die on the very first heart attack.
00:50:10.880 And it's so important that we take care of our hearts and take care of our cardiovascular system.
00:50:16.520 And the way to do that is to take salty and the way to get salty is to go to war room health dot com.
00:50:23.700 That's war room health dot com and enter the code war room at checkout.
00:50:29.100 And here's what that does for you.
00:50:30.840 That means on your first order, you'll get three bottles.
00:50:35.020 You'll and for a price of only twenty nine ninety five.
00:50:38.340 And that is a that's that's a huge savings.
00:50:41.640 And it's about 50 percent off.
00:50:43.780 And then and that's for the first shipment of your subscription.
00:50:47.340 And then every subscription order after that, you're getting three bottles for the price of two.
00:50:53.280 And that's every 90 days.
00:50:55.160 It's 70 cents a day.
00:50:56.860 Think about that.
00:50:58.020 Seventy cents a day for your heart health.
00:51:00.420 And all you have to do is enter the code war room at checkout.
00:51:04.400 So, Steve, I encourage the posse to go to war room health dot com.
00:51:09.160 We war room health dot com and use the code war room at checkout.
00:51:12.540 And take care of yourself.
00:51:14.340 Make a New Year's resolution to take care of you.
00:51:17.100 You got to take care of yourself.
00:51:18.240 And here's why this is the first real work day of the year.
00:51:21.420 And look how tense it is.
00:51:23.920 Couldn't be higher.
00:51:24.960 And I'm telling you right now, behind the scenes of Washington, it's only going to get worse.
00:51:30.100 Krom, thank you so much.
00:51:31.520 Look forward to seeing you back in the next couple of days.
00:51:33.400 I just want to tell you, for this vast audience we have tonight, we're going to take a short break.
00:51:37.960 We're going to continue.
00:51:39.060 Congressman Bob Good is going to join us.
00:51:41.380 We've got John Fund from The Wall Street Journal.
00:51:44.060 We've got Mike Davis is going to join us.
00:51:46.600 Others.
00:51:47.500 The stakes couldn't be higher.
00:51:48.960 The tension couldn't be higher.
00:51:50.760 Really, the direction of the nation hangs in the balance.
00:51:53.700 And we're going to find out what that direction is going to be next in the second hour of the war room.
00:51:58.340 We will fight till they're all gone.
00:52:00.840 We rejoice when there's no more.
