Transcript

00:00:01.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:06.000 Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
00:00:11.000 You're just not going to free shot all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:16.000 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:00:18.000 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.
00:00:28.000 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:00:33.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:00:37.000 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:00:43.000 Warwick. Here's your host, Stephen K. Back.
00:00:51.000 Things like funding the government and the debt ceiling.
00:00:54.000 These are huge national stories with national implications.
00:00:57.000 Is this keeping you up at night that you may not be able to get that done because of the infighting you're seeing across the aisle?
00:01:03.000 And I think that it should be keeping everyone up at night.
00:01:06.000 The notion that we would not be able to fund the government is is not as simple as not funding the government.
00:01:13.000 It is a complete shutdown of every agency that keeps us safe.
00:01:17.000 The same people who are worried about and talking about fentanyl flowing across the border.
00:01:21.000 They're now basically threatening to defund every element of our border security infrastructure apparatus and every person who works to keep us safe.
00:01:30.000 It would mean shutting down the FBI, who's doing our counterterrorism investigations, IRS returns.
00:01:37.000 You're not going to get those mean the basic function of our country.
00:01:41.000 If the government is shut down, that's what we're talking about.
00:01:45.000 And then when we're talking about the debt ceiling, I mean, that's the full faith and credit of the United States.
00:01:50.000 That's our ability on the global stage to be a world leader from a national security perspective, from an economic perspective.
00:01:58.000 I mean, this this is the severity and the importance of what it is that that we're talking about.
00:02:04.000 And and it is really, I mean, being here watching the disagreements on the House floor and the brinksmanship is is it.
00:02:18.000 It does not instill faith for how we're going to get through to the next step.
00:02:21.000 And so, you know, I remain committed to working with anyone of good faith to achieve what needs to be achieved for the American people, ideally continuing working on really good policy above and beyond the basics.
00:02:33.000 I can't I can't I can't I can't I can't take it anymore that right there.
00:02:39.000 OK, this is what it's about. The lead story in the Hill today is what the debt ceiling, everything on MSNBC, New York Times, all of it is the debt ceiling funding the government.
00:02:48.000 This is about money and power. And now we're down into the crunch zone.
00:02:52.000 You're going to hear deals being cut, people wavering. But we got to talk about what reality is here.
00:02:58.000 We got to talk about this. This is preliminaries. This is a prelude.
00:03:02.000 This is like and I'm using this metaphor structurally, not to say the Civil War, but this is like bloody Kansas to the Civil War.
00:03:12.000 You see in that thing the entire event right of later. And and what you what we have is people that understand the globalists like Spanberger right there.
00:03:22.000 The globalists are absolutely completely freaked out because they understand that some responsible adults are now saying that we can't continue like this.
00:03:32.000 The issue with Kevin McCarthy, you're going to hear a club for growth. We're going to have John Fredericks on here.
00:03:37.000 We got Mike Davis coming on Cortez. Frank Gaffney is going to join me.
00:03:41.000 You're going to hear a lot about deals, a lot about rules packages, a lot about, you know, McCarthy capitulating and a lot of blowback that he's turning everything over to the House Freedom Caucus.
00:03:53.000 He's turning all over. That's all fog of war. This gets down to these massive decisions.
00:04:00.000 This is why they jammed through the omnibus at the last second. Think about if we had the power of the appropriations process today to shut down her beloved FBI, to defund the FBI until they came to the table with a reorganization plan to make sure they couldn't they couldn't spy on the American people.
00:04:20.000 And they couldn't intimidate the American people as, quote unquote, domestic terrorists. Right.
00:04:25.000 I think we had the power today. That's why that's why they gave the power to Nancy Pelosi for another year.
00:04:30.000 So what do we have? We have the debt ceiling, which is ultimate leverage. We've told you about this now for years.
00:04:35.000 Now you're starting to see and they're they're they're literally coming unglued because they understand the focus and the determination of people to set this thing right because they are the ones that are destroying the full faith and credit of the United States.
00:04:47.000 They are the ones that have this insane plan to keep trillions of dollars of spending that no possible way we can inform. Look at that on the world stage on the world stage.
00:04:56.000 Yes. So you can send one hundred billion dollars to your globalist buddies at the World Economic Forum and in Davos. Right.
00:05:03.000 Right. In NATO, the deadbeats of the not the European people, but the dead because European people don't want to do it.
00:05:11.000 The deadbeats of the European political leadership in the World Economic Forum that wants the United States to continue to fund this proxy war.
00:05:18.780 That's only going to get debt more deadly, deadlier for the for the Ukrainian people and put us into jeopardy, actually triggering an outright conflict between the United States of America and in Russia, the Russian people, which your sons and daughters will die on those battlefields.
00:05:34.780 This is why they're coming unglued. And today you're going to hear all kind of this gets down to this is not about any one package of these kind of arcane rules, which are very important for controlling what goes on the house.
00:05:49.100 I'm not saying this is not important. It's inside baseball, but the war room posse wants inside baseball.
00:05:54.320 These rules packages you're going to hear about all this are quite important, but they're not the thing itself.
00:06:01.040 This is about trust. Think about it. If Kevin McCarthy is prepared to give up everything and right now that even down to the one member for the motion to vacate, right?
00:06:10.440 He's essentially going to turn over to Chip Roy and these guys, everything that they wanted, you know, virtually everything they wanted to give them control rules committee, subcommittee chairman, the task force on or the joint committee on the weaponization of government, all of it.
00:06:26.860 Prepare to prepare to give all of it. It's just what he's done his entire career.
00:06:31.600 He's going to do that when it comes to the debt ceiling appropriations. Trust me, we're going to get sold out.
00:06:35.760 You're going to get sold out. You need to have somebody that in a team around them that can take the most the most pressure that any house speaker and any leadership team have ever had in the history of the country,
00:06:50.120 except for probably before the Civil War. And by the way, isn't it ironic that what they're talking about now is not the hundred years.
00:06:58.080 No, the New York Times has a crisis last seen a century ago grips the house, right?
00:07:02.720 Lead story right over here. A bunch of them. Of course, we're all considered the dangerous right wing.
00:07:06.580 The ones are asking for actually people to act like adults here to save the country from a financial crisis.
00:07:13.240 The last time it happened was really happened. The real fight was in 1855 and it was Nathaniel Banks was eventually after 133 ballots became Speaker of the House.
00:07:24.020 Nathaniel Banks also later became the first political, really the first prominent political general selected by Abraham Lincoln.
00:07:30.980 He's the guy that took that fought Stonewall in the Valley, also at Vicksburg with Grant or was supposed to be at Vicksburg.
00:07:38.580 Grant didn't quite make it, but General Banks fought the entire Civil War later after being Speaker of the House.
00:07:45.040 And the reason Lincoln appointed him is his the guy had massive stroke in Washington, D.C.
00:07:51.140 He wanted to make sure that, you know, Lincoln had the committees, all these committees over overseeing him, looking over his shoulder the whole time.
00:07:58.100 He wanted to have political cover, and that's one of the reasons he selected Nathaniel Banks.
00:08:01.940 But you have to go back before the Civil War when the country was that divided to get to what you're going to see.
00:08:08.800 What they're going to come out with here shortly is a package.
00:08:11.700 They're going to try to – McCarthy's going to try to show some momentum.
00:08:15.240 Instead of the 20 adding names, they're going to try to peel off some names.
00:08:18.740 They're going to try to peel it off of this package, but it gets down to trust.
00:08:22.140 We're going to get John Furtick up here in a second.
00:08:24.540 Let's start with Frank Gaffney.
00:08:25.780 Frank, you've been a guy from the – you just heard Spanberger.
00:08:29.440 We're jeopardizing national security because we're showing what democracy looks like on the world stage here.
00:08:36.500 You've had some pretty sharp comments about McCarthy from a national security perspective for the simple reason he can't be trusted, Frank Gaffney.
00:08:46.460 Yeah, I think that's really the fundamental point.
00:08:50.680 Whatever he agrees to isn't worth the paper that it may or may not actually be written on if he can't be trusted.
00:08:58.760 And I think the history of this guy is conservatives have no basis for trusting him, and that will continue to be the case.
00:09:05.940 And, in fact, the more he's promised, the more certain it is that he will be welching on at least some of those promises.
00:09:12.600 But, Steve, if I could just pivot here, because talking about national security, with the notable exception of the debt ceiling controversy and process,
00:09:25.780 basically what we're left with in terms of this House of Representatives under Republican control, narrow though it may be, having anything to do,
00:09:37.160 it's not really passing legislation because none of that's going to get through if it's not to the liking of Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden.
00:09:44.480 It's not about the budget, as you've pointed out, with the omnibus bill.
00:09:50.040 That's all locked down for at least the next nine months.
00:09:54.040 So what is it?
00:09:55.160 What's left?
00:09:56.400 What would matter?
00:09:58.340 What would matter, particularly the American people who gave the gavel to the Republicans?
00:10:04.440 Investigations.
00:10:05.200 And what we've learned from speakers in the past, notably Nancy Pelosi, of course, in connection with the January 6th Committee,
00:10:15.420 but before that, Paul Ryan, who had as his chief lieutenant, one of his chief lieutenants anyway, Kevin McCarthy,
00:10:24.760 used the speaker's office to essentially garrot the Benghazi investigation.
00:10:31.820 It was a toothless nothing burger by the time they were done with it.
00:10:36.860 Trey Gowdy.
00:10:38.240 Hang on, hang on.
00:10:39.200 I want to make sure, every time you see intrigue, by the way, Fox News, as you know,
00:10:42.520 they started this morning with Fox and Friends, Hannity last night,
00:10:45.860 Hectoring, Lauren Boebert, who we're going to try to get on here in the second hour.
00:10:50.140 She was fantastic.
00:10:52.020 She's fabulous.
00:10:53.380 And Hannity's got to understand something.
00:10:56.080 If you're going to bring it, you've got to bring it.
00:10:58.000 She bench-pressed you, brother.
00:10:59.560 It's kind of embarrassing, right?
00:11:00.520 She said, indeed.
00:11:01.900 She's bench-pressed Hannity.
00:11:03.320 It was embarrassing.
00:11:04.920 He's had one too many softball things with his buddy, Lindsey.
00:11:11.140 No, Trey Gowdy's on there all the time.
00:11:13.060 This is a clown show.
00:11:13.860 This is a clown show.
00:11:14.620 What's a bigger, more embarrassing clown show than Trey Gowdy's Benghazi?
00:11:19.420 That's exactly – your point here is you're saying you're going to get nothing but a series of Benghazis,
00:11:24.960 which are all performative, and don't get to the heart of it.
00:11:28.000 Is that it, Frank?
00:11:28.840 Yes, indeed.
00:11:29.620 But take it one step further, Steve, because we actually saw Kevin McCarthy's own hand at work, I believe, in connection with this China task force that he convened with much fanfare.
00:11:44.380 It was ostensibly going to be a bipartisan exercise, and then Nancy Pelosi pulled out at the last moment.
00:11:50.740 So it was just a Republican deal.
00:11:52.560 Mike McCall was the chairman of it.
00:11:54.300 And one of the things that was curiously, virtually entirely absent from the report and the work of that committee was anything having to do with the central problem we have with the Chinese Communist Party, I would argue.
00:12:09.900 And we focus a lot on it, as you know, with our Committee on the Present Danger of China.
00:12:14.400 We are underwriting the threat that we face from the Chinese Communist Party.
00:12:19.520 That was not in the report.
00:12:21.440 That was not really even discussed.
00:12:23.140 And now here we have a new investigation that Kevin McCarthy has promised.
00:12:27.980 His appointee to run it is a fellow by the name of Mike Gallagher.
00:12:32.020 We saw him yesterday nominating Kevin McCarthy on one of these six failed votes.
00:12:40.300 Mike Gallagher, to his credit, I think he's a pretty serious guy.
00:12:43.360 And he said one of the things they were going to be looking at was our underwriting.
00:12:48.520 And when I say our, I mean literally our, as you know.
00:12:51.220 This is our money.
00:12:52.540 It's not Wall Street's money.
00:12:53.580 It's our money.
00:12:54.500 It's our pension funds.
00:12:55.560 It's our 401k payments.
00:12:57.580 Mutual funds, index funds, you know, the rest of it.
00:13:01.160 It's our money.
00:13:02.600 And they've been pouring it by the trillions into the coffers of our mortal enemy.
00:13:08.100 And Mike Gallagher, to his credit, has said, we're going to get into that.
00:13:11.720 Well, not if Kevin McCarthy is the speaker, I would argue, because among other things,
00:13:17.340 he's joined at the hip with one of the most egregious of these outfits, Sequoia Capital.
00:13:24.380 Sequoia Capital is a front for the, let me be blunt.
00:13:27.200 It's a front for the Chinese Communist Party.
00:13:29.800 It's deep.
00:13:30.800 They have deep, they have deep relationships.
00:13:33.220 The guy from Yale, the people, they're all CCP or CCP assets.
00:13:36.880 I've said this from day one.
00:13:38.480 By the way, the House Intelligence Committee has an investigation on Sequoia, breaking news.
00:13:47.360 They've had it for years.
00:13:48.720 And by the way, it's been suppressed by the Paul Ryans and the McCarthys of the world.
00:13:55.180 The real investigation is a great capital.
00:13:57.300 And Nancy Pelosi's, I imagine, as well.
00:13:58.760 But this is the heart of the problem, Steve.
00:14:01.960 And we've talked about it a lot, thanks in no small measure to your focus on it.
00:14:06.380 But elite capture is a cancer in our political system, as well as businesses and Wall Street and academia and Hollywood.
00:14:18.860 This is something that Chinese, our friend Trevor Loudon has pointed out.
00:14:22.440 This is one of the greatest and most cost-effective ways to take down a country like ours.
00:14:27.700 Will the lack of a red wave during the midterms lead to a more emboldened Biden, more wasteful government spending, higher taxes, a deepening of inflation?
00:14:38.060 And how do you protect your hard-earned savings from chaotic financial markets?

00:16:17.280 More about that later.
00:16:19.040 Frank, Sequoia, the venture capital, you have Nancy Pelosi up to her neck and all of that.
00:16:23.820 That's actually her rise to power.
00:16:25.500 Now they're saying McCarthy didn't spend enough time as a grundoon, whereas Nancy Pelosi started at the very lowest level of the Democratic Party and became the biggest fundraiser in the history of the Democratic Party because, guess what?
00:16:37.720 She tapped into Silicon Valley, Sand Hill Road, and what they used to call the four horsemen out there in San Francisco.
00:16:45.480 The investment banks, Alex Brown and these guys, Robertson Stevens, used to do all the underwritings.
00:16:49.980 Nancy Pelosi became the shakedown officer for that, and that's how she rose to power.
00:16:54.400 Kevin McCarthy is the same.
00:16:56.400 He's inextricably linked, not just with the donors, the biggest corporatists and the financiers, including Sequoia Capital.
00:17:02.340 Am I incorrect in any of that, sir?
00:17:04.960 I don't think so.
00:17:05.620 And more to the point, Steve, I suspect a lot of us are scratching our heads.
00:17:10.740 Why hasn't this guy withdrawn from this race?
00:17:14.060 He's put the house through six different iterations of this humiliation, and I think the answer is what you just put your finger on.
00:17:20.980 He's so good at raising money, as is Nancy Pelosi, because he is able to tap into outfits like Sequoia and others, Wall Street and beyond.
00:17:33.700 And what he has as a matter, not just of lust for power, but as a preoccupation that is, I think, prompting him to be able to say, I'll give you anything you want, just make me speaker, is because he knows he has to protect his peeps.
00:17:51.020 And they are going to expect him to do that.
00:17:54.200 And if they don't, here's the order of battle.
00:17:57.780 It's not just going to be him who's going to be in the focus of an investigation.
00:18:02.380 It's not just going to be Nancy Pelosi.
00:18:04.360 It's going to be Mitch McConnell.
00:18:06.520 And, of course, it's going to be Joe Biden.
00:18:09.060 The unit party, in short, has every interest in ensuring no investigation of any real consequence.
00:18:17.300 Hang on.
00:18:17.700 It takes place.
00:18:18.520 The speaker can make sure that doesn't happen.
00:18:20.160 Hang on.
00:18:21.400 Folks, get the number two pencils out.
00:18:23.260 Get the notebooks out because you're getting pure signal.
00:18:26.080 No noise right here.
00:18:27.660 Brother Gaffney, the investigation we're talking about, that's even the laptop from hell.
00:18:31.560 Remember, I know people come for the porn and they stay for the compromise.
00:18:35.160 But the compromise with CEF and other CCP companies is just the tip of the iceberg.
00:18:42.140 The entire system is flooded with CCP cash.
00:18:46.320 The investigations, if it would start there, that's why, don't get me wrong, the Biden crime
00:18:50.060 family and their compromise is outrageous.
00:18:52.520 But you start there, the expansion of that investigation to Mitch McConnell, to the elites
00:18:58.500 in the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.
00:19:02.000 They're ties to these companies that have deep financial ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:19:07.040 That's the Natalie Winters overall.
00:19:08.620 That's where we have to go because Frank Gaffney calls it elite capture, which is a traditional
00:19:14.220 term.
00:19:14.920 But so big says it's one level up.
00:19:16.380 It's elite merger.
00:19:18.740 It's elite merger.
00:19:19.680 Yeah, Chinese term.
00:19:21.020 Frank, hang on.
00:19:21.900 I want to put a pin in that for a second where I come back to you because you talk about Wall
00:19:26.020 Street and the finance series.
00:19:26.700 You've got this thing, Club for Growth, and Club for Growth has really been a love-hate
00:19:31.940 relationship with President Trump.
00:19:33.180 It's really been part of the Never Trump movement and behind the scenes, big time Never
00:19:36.600 Trump.
00:19:37.620 They've got a guy that run it that detests President Trump.
00:19:40.800 They're the guys that's hands all over this deal with McCarthy for the Freedom Caucus.
00:19:45.940 I want to bring in John Fredericks.
00:19:47.540 John, get us an update on what's exactly going on.
00:19:50.620 Jake Sherman put up today, and I've got it on Getter, what the overall proposal, which is
00:19:54.440 basically a capitulation to the terms of what the House, or at least Chip Roy and some of
00:19:59.860 that, certain of that element want.
00:20:01.920 What is your assessment of where we stand?
00:20:03.880 And tell us about the Club for Growth.
00:20:06.700 Well, number one, Steve, this has been probably the greatest 48 hours in our movement.
00:20:11.600 It's energized our base like nothing I've ever seen.
00:20:15.400 Our populist movement is now gaining steam with these 20 people who are actually standing
00:20:20.120 up for us and standing for working people.
00:20:21.700 But the beauty of this, Steve, in 48 hours, look what we've exposed.
00:20:25.800 And the Club for Growth got exposed today.
00:20:28.760 But let's start with who we exposed in 24 hours.
00:20:31.300 We exposed entire conservative ink, the money-making machine off our backs, Fox News, all of them.
00:20:38.440 Fox News has turned into a 24-7 shill for Kevin McCarthy.
00:20:43.260 That's all they are.
00:20:44.020 They're not even reporting the news, right?
00:20:46.460 And you go right down the line, the whole bunch of them.
00:20:48.900 Newt Gingrich, Trey Gowdy, Jason Gavits, Sean Hannity last night absolutely being so rude
00:20:57.920 to Lauren Boeber.
00:20:58.860 Actually, the woman actually stands for something.
00:21:01.560 Couldn't get a word and kept cutting her off.
00:21:03.380 I mean, Brett Baer.
00:21:04.820 The whole bunch of them got exposed.
00:21:06.760 It's like, Steve, it's like you went in the kitchen, you turned on the lights, and they're
00:21:10.320 the cockroaches.
00:21:11.140 It's like that bathroom in your basement that you haven't cleaned in 20 years.
00:21:16.860 Finally, you go down here, you rip off the mat, and you see all that scum.
00:21:19.940 You're like, oh my God, get out the ammonia.
00:21:22.640 I got to scrub this thing clean.
00:21:24.040 They're all getting exposed, Steve.
00:21:25.540 This is the beauty.
00:21:26.360 Now I got Club for Growth and David McIntosh.
00:21:28.680 This is a never-Trumper swamp organization tied to the Chamber of Commerce.
00:21:34.160 They've never stood for any one of our America First populist views.
00:21:37.980 Now I got David McIntosh, cuts the deal.
00:21:40.460 Hey, John, John, John, John, John, John, John, John, John, hang on for one second.
00:21:45.260 I've got Eli Crane by phone, and I got to take him right now.
00:21:48.220 Eli Crane joins us.
00:21:50.400 Eli, can you, thank you, brother.
00:21:52.340 Eli, you've been one of the heroes in this.
00:21:54.420 Can you get us up to date exactly what's going on right now, sir?
00:21:57.920 Hey, Steve, thanks for having me on, brother.
00:22:00.840 You know, it took me a long time, but I wanted to break my radio silence today just to let
00:22:05.700 you guys in on, you know, why we're doing this.
00:22:08.640 I know you guys have had multiple people from our movement in the Freedom Caucus come in
00:22:13.400 here and, you know, talk to you guys.
00:22:15.040 But I just wanted to tell you, Steve, the reason that I am doing what I am doing and
00:22:21.500 many of us are doing what we're doing is because we're trying to keep promises to the American
00:22:27.060 people.
00:22:27.700 We're trying to keep our focus on them, and we're trying to change this town.
00:22:32.220 And that's what it's all about.
00:22:33.680 Steve, the last couple weeks before I came up here, I did a listening tour around my district
00:22:38.960 where I traveled to all the big stops.
00:22:42.420 I brought in the people who were willing to get in a room with me, meet with me, and I
00:22:46.900 asked them specifically about this issue.
00:22:49.580 Where do you guys stand on this issue?
00:22:52.600 Knowing, tried to put them in the room, who's against us, who's for us, does that make any
00:22:57.460 difference to you guys?
00:22:58.520 And Steve, I'll tell you this.
00:22:59.820 It was 95% overwhelming.
00:23:02.100 We do not support Kevin McCarthy, and therefore, we don't want you to support him either.
00:23:07.300 And I'm going to tell you this right now, Steve.
00:23:08.780 If you come up to this town and you represent your constituents, this is what you get called.
00:23:14.140 You get called a terrorist.
00:23:15.560 And that says a lot more about the people making those accusations in this town than it does
00:23:20.600 about any of us.
00:23:21.580 Eli, real quickly, tell people, particularly people across the nation who just now didn't
00:23:27.420 focus on the Arizona race.
00:23:29.020 Give us your background of service to your country, sir.
00:23:33.760 Steve, I joined the Navy after 9-11.
00:23:36.120 Tried out for the SEAL teams.
00:23:37.280 Didn't make it through my first time.
00:23:39.660 Became a SEAL.
00:23:40.780 Went to SEAL Team 3.
00:23:41.780 Did three combat deployments there.
00:23:43.440 Then I started a small business that was featured on Shark Tank with my wife, where we made all
00:23:47.640 of our products in the USA.
00:23:49.620 And we felt like God was calling us into this swampy town.
00:23:54.340 I don't know what the outcome is going to be, Steve, but I'm glad to be here.
00:23:58.160 I'm glad to be in a room with people that are actually trying to change this town.
00:24:01.600 Well, your constituents, given your service to your country in combat, when you weren't
00:24:07.480 under constituents, they said, Eli, we've trusted you.
00:24:09.540 That's why we voted for you.
00:24:10.480 You're kind of an unknown guy, but we've weighed and measured your character.
00:24:13.880 We've trusted you.
00:24:15.040 When you get to this town, I want you to tell people, the knives are out for heroes like
00:24:19.160 yourself that stand up.
00:24:20.620 Tell me behind the scenes, what's the treatment like, sir?
00:24:24.980 Well, you know, I think, you know, they kind of, it's interesting.
00:24:30.060 It's really interesting, Steve, because I know that there's a lot of people that wish,
00:24:34.560 that wish they had the courage to stand with us.
00:24:37.260 And there are people on that floor that know deep down inside that we're doing the right
00:24:43.960 thing, but they don't want to deal with the repercussions.
00:24:47.320 They don't want to deal with the backlash.
00:24:49.340 They don't want to have leadership come and run somebody in a primary against them.
00:24:53.700 They don't want to get smeared on Fox News like you guys were just talking about.
00:24:57.960 And Steve, I'll tell you what, brother.
00:25:00.060 The number one, the number one characteristic lacking in this town is courage, brother,
00:25:06.680 because these people are smart.
00:25:08.580 I know we make fun of politicians all the time and we say they're dumb and they're not
00:25:12.480 dumb at all.
00:25:13.500 They know what they're doing, but a lot of them lack courage.
00:25:17.060 And I'm hoping, I saw it in combat, fear is contagious, but so is courage.
00:25:22.240 I'm hoping today, and we're prayerful in this, Steve.
00:25:27.120 Every time we meet, we open this in prayer and we are asking, we are praying to the good
00:25:33.280 Lord to give some of these other members who want to join this movement and actually change
00:25:38.260 this town courage to stand with us.
00:25:40.700 Eli, how do people follow you on social media?
00:25:44.360 How do they get to your website?
00:25:45.580 Because I know a lot of people want to find out a lot more about you.
00:25:49.280 The website's eliforaizona.com.
00:25:52.900 Eli Crane, I'm on social media.
00:25:56.320 And Steve, before I go, I want to say this.
00:25:58.680 Thank you, everyone out there that's listening to this for sending these members who are standing
00:26:03.260 up text messages, phone calls, emails, and encouraging us because they are being read
00:26:09.000 in this room.
00:26:10.220 And we do take note, and it is helpful.
00:26:12.640 So thank you.
00:26:14.860 Eli Crane, you're a hero that served your country, and you've come back to serve it again.
00:26:19.580 And I got to tell you, your courage is contagious, and you are an absolute inspiration for everybody.
00:26:25.400 So Eli Crane, Congressman Crane, Congressman-elect Crane, I guess, right now, thank you so much.
00:26:30.660 Honored to have you on here.
00:26:32.180 Thank you, Steve.
00:26:33.260 You can't imagine the pressure these guys are under, right?
00:26:38.220 You can't, these men and women, you cannot understand.
00:26:40.520 Look at Lauren Boebert on Fox last night.
00:26:42.560 Look at, that's the biggest apparatus in this business.
00:26:45.720 They're out to crush these people and destroy them.
00:26:48.900 You got Eli Crane, and I tell you, I met Eli years ago through my brother.
00:26:54.400 And we weighed and measured this guy.
00:26:56.760 This guy is a killer.
00:26:58.520 He's a fantastic individual and a hero.
00:27:01.420 What did Churchill say?
00:27:04.220 Courage is the most important of all the virtues because it is upon courage that all the other virtues rest.
00:27:10.600 You're seeing it right now.
00:27:12.320 This is the unforgiving moment, which they say.
00:27:15.820 The unforgiving moment.
00:27:17.600 It's going to start again at noon, and we're going to have it all for you.
00:27:20.360 You got John French, Frank Gaffney, Cortez, Carrie Lake.
00:27:22.800 We're going to fit it all in, but we're going to be taking calls from some of the combatants during the show.
00:27:27.600 Short commercial break.
00:27:28.780 You just heard from Eli Crane.
00:27:30.160 Send a prayer.
00:27:30.920 Next in the world.
00:27:33.900 A lot of people complain about the state of our country or the way woke corporations treat us and their employees.
00:27:40.660 But it's not enough to complain.
00:27:42.100 We need to change the way the marketplace works.

00:29:00.920 Host Stephen K.
00:29:02.780 Back.
00:29:06.000 Okay, welcome back.
00:29:07.460 By the way, update.
00:29:09.080 Since there's no speaker, they can't process, they can't really start Congresses, the new Congressors.
00:29:13.680 They can't swear on the new guys like Eli.
00:29:15.540 So no payroll.
00:29:17.060 There's no pay.
00:29:18.240 I know that's really upset this audience.
00:29:20.920 No pay for Congress, right?
00:29:22.940 Also, Fitzpatrick's one of the worst.
00:29:25.460 He's coming out of McCarthy's office.
00:29:27.240 They're horse trading, ladies and gentlemen.
00:29:30.700 But, quote, unquote, they don't think they'll be ready by noon.
00:29:33.360 We're going to be all over this package.
00:29:35.100 They're going to get Frederick Scafney, Cortez, but I want to bring in Kerry Lake.
00:29:38.720 Kerry, you just saw on Eli Crane, that is heroism, right?
00:29:45.500 Because this town is a pressure cooker, and the knives are out behind the scenes, stripping them over the committees, all this.
00:29:52.040 But also, let's say, face it, you got the Fox News apparatus.
00:29:54.740 That's just all in.
00:29:56.400 You saw Hannity last night trying to beat up Lauren Boebert.
00:29:58.920 Guess what?
00:29:59.500 It didn't work.
00:30:00.560 We're going to have Congressman Boebert on, hopefully, in the second hour.
00:30:03.480 Give us your sense.
00:30:04.260 You got Biggs.
00:30:04.800 You got Gosar.
00:30:05.460 You got Eli Crane.
00:30:06.620 This kind of sets Arizona apart.
00:30:09.440 That's what I keep saying.
00:30:10.140 It's ground zero.
00:30:10.880 It's the railhead right now of the Trump movement, ma'am.
00:30:15.480 Well, and the pressure is on with these patriots, but you know what?
00:30:18.820 They can take the heat, for goodness sakes.
00:30:20.700 They're from Arizona, so they go to D.C.
00:30:23.740 I'm so proud of Congressman Biggs and Gosar.
00:30:27.340 And Crane is special.
00:30:28.520 Eli Crane.
00:30:29.060 Here is a freshman coming in.
00:30:31.520 And to jump into that frying pan with that kind of scrutiny and the attacks coming in,
00:30:37.480 I'm so proud of him.
00:30:39.000 And he said it best.
00:30:40.000 It really is about representing the people.
00:30:43.100 He's there as a representative of the people of his district in Arizona.
00:30:48.160 He's not there to make nice with Hannity.
00:30:50.280 He's not there to make nice with the establishment power class in D.C.
00:30:55.900 He's there to represent the people of Arizona.
00:30:59.500 And I'm only seeing a few people doing that right now.
00:31:01.880 And I'm hoping that number grows.
00:31:03.480 It can't just be three brave Arizona congressmen doing that.
00:31:06.600 We need to see that number grow and grow.
00:31:08.520 And if it means we shut down the federal government and they're not putting out paychecks, fine with me.
00:31:13.520 I think the country might operate a little smoother without the federal government meddling in every – maybe they can shut down the FBI trying to censor us on social media and the CIA trying to start things up.
00:31:25.840 Spanberger, we had the cold open from Morning Joe today.
00:31:28.980 She's saying, well, the FBI is going to shut down.
00:31:30.920 We're going to have Cortez on here.
00:31:31.860 We're going to talk about the debt ceiling and the spending and the real fight because this is about money and power.
00:31:36.240 I want to get to your case because I want to make sure that you're in appellate court.
00:31:39.560 But correct me if I'm wrong.
00:31:41.520 Did Katie Hobbs kind of slip in behind closed doors and take the oath on Monday, right?
00:31:47.020 And was nobody in the room?
00:31:49.280 What's going – Katie Hobbs has gone back into her cave, right?
00:31:53.200 Where's Katie Hobbs?
00:31:54.380 I think she's so afraid to do anything publicly because she knows she's illegitimate.
00:31:59.600 She knows that they stole this.
00:32:01.500 And they're afraid that Arizonans are going to heckle her.
00:32:05.920 And they're calling it, you know, Carrie Lake supporters.
00:32:08.460 They're Arizonans who don't like the fact that our elections are being stolen every single time.
00:32:14.640 And so she's probably afraid to go out in public.
00:32:16.920 Somebody sent me a little clip of video.
00:32:19.800 I guess she was at one of the games, a Suns game or a football game.
00:32:22.840 And somebody walked by her and said, Carrie Lake is our governor.
00:32:26.360 You lost.
00:32:27.020 I don't know who it was, but it was sent to me.
00:32:29.500 This is what she's going to be facing because she knows when she took that oath that she stole this election.
00:32:36.200 And that's why we're fighting.
00:32:37.420 We are going to the appellate court.
00:32:39.360 We're pleased that the court has set a briefing schedule.
00:32:42.340 And we're not going to stop fighting this.
00:32:44.220 The good thing about this being dragged out a little bit, Steve, is that more and more information is coming our way.
00:32:49.520 What they did in Pinal County, where they did not count all the votes.
00:32:54.660 They gave an inaccurate vote count.
00:32:57.220 And then they paid the woman who put that inaccurate vote count out a $25,000 bonus from taxpayer funds.
00:33:03.980 And now she's skipped town.
00:33:05.180 We can't find her.
00:33:05.900 However, the fact that hundreds of thousands of ballots were pumped into the system in Maricopa County with no chain of custody, that 25,000 additional ballots were pumped in two days after the election.
00:33:17.880 They couldn't cheat big enough to make this happen.
00:33:20.880 They had to do it in broad daylight.
00:33:22.500 And we're going to expose each and every one of them.
00:33:24.940 And the walls are going to start to close in on them.
00:33:27.500 Now, the appeal itself is not until late January, right?
00:33:31.500 I think is it the 24th of January or is it 28th, 24th of January?
00:33:35.680 Is that the day?
00:33:36.980 Yeah.
00:33:37.620 Well, they put out a briefing schedule.
00:33:40.420 I think the defense has seven days to file their motion.
00:33:44.920 Then we have five days to respond.
00:33:46.400 And then there's possible oral arguments on January 24.
00:33:49.360 And, you know, while we wish this could be handled immediately, hey, we're going to work through the courts and we're going to look for one judge who loves the Constitution and loves this country.
00:34:02.520 No, the facts are there.
00:34:03.680 She's totally illegitimate.
00:34:04.800 But this has happened in Arizona before, right?
00:34:07.460 I don't want to say 100 years ago.
00:34:08.700 It's happened before where the governor actually took or the person, quote, unquote, that won took the oath and then it was later reversed.
00:34:17.040 Am I correct in that?
00:34:18.480 That's right.
00:34:18.980 In 1916 it happened and it took a full year back then.
00:34:22.960 They eventually pulled the loser out and put in the winner, the rightful, duly elected winner.
00:34:29.900 Katie Hobbs was not duly elected.
00:34:31.740 Everybody in the state knows that.
00:34:34.220 And she can play, you know, play house and play governor for a while.
00:34:38.520 But eventually the truth is going to catch up and we will win.
00:34:42.300 And, you know, they will be exposed for what they've done to the people.
00:34:45.700 This is, you know, you know, when you saw me on the campaign trail working hard, telling the people I would go and represent them.
00:34:52.300 And that doesn't stop once they cheat and steal the election.
00:34:55.480 I'm still working to make sure that every Arizona vote and voice is heard and counted.
00:35:01.340 And we will make sure that happens.
00:35:03.480 So we were very strong on the merits.
00:35:06.060 We have the evidence on our side.
00:35:07.420 They sabotaged election day and then they did a whole bunch of other things.
00:35:10.740 And the beauty of all this is the onion is getting unpeeled.
00:35:13.840 It's getting peeled back.
00:35:15.400 We saw this out of Wisconsin.
00:35:17.720 I think it came out yesterday, the day before.
00:35:20.100 Now we're finding out with truth, 150,000 voter registrations went to invalid addresses that don't even exist.
00:35:29.760 We're finding out this Ruby Freeman, this Ruby Freeman sound that's coming out where she's admitting to all kinds of, you know, fraudulent behavior in the Georgia elections.
00:35:41.680 It's all starting to crumble down right now.
00:35:45.720 And it's going to get out.
00:35:47.100 That would be, that would be, that would be St. Ruby Freeman.
00:35:51.180 Carrie, real quickly, how can we get, how do people follow you and how do you get to your site to follow this?
00:35:57.980 Because this fight, trust me, folks, this fight's a long way from over.
00:36:01.300 Carrie Lake, the legitimate governor, governor of Arizona.
00:36:06.140 Thank God we have patriotic attorneys working with us who are in for the fight, no matter what threats they take.
00:36:11.720 You can find me on all the usual social media, Getter, Truth, Twitter, Facebook, Carrie Lake, K-A-R-I-L-A-K-E.
00:36:19.900 You can also go to Save Arizona Fund, F-U-N-D and C-R Lawsuit.
00:36:26.480 And you can also make a donation if you want to help pay our legal fees.
00:36:29.640 We could use the help.
00:36:30.800 We're in this to win it, and we will win it at the end of the day.
00:36:35.480 Carrie Lake, fight on.
00:36:36.880 Honored to have you on here.
00:36:37.920 Thank you very much.
00:36:39.280 Thank you, Steve.
00:36:39.840 How about that?
00:36:40.400 Eli Crane, Carrie Lake, back-to-back.
00:36:42.220 Not too shabby.
00:36:43.060 Let me go back to Fredericks.
00:36:44.300 I got Cortez and Gaffney we're going to get to.
00:36:46.500 Fredericks.
00:36:48.160 Carrie Lake's talking about counting every vote out there.
00:36:51.880 What are we going to do on counting these votes today?
00:36:54.100 Club for Growth has got its sleazy hand behind the scenes trying to make a deal on a rules package.
00:36:59.940 But the bottom line, it comes down to trust.
00:37:02.920 Can people trust Kevin McCarthy, John Fredericks?
00:37:07.020 No, and they're exposing it all.
00:37:09.340 Club for Growth, another slimeball pack organization.
00:37:13.660 David McIntosh.
00:37:14.960 Nobody gives a rat's ass what David McIntosh says.
00:37:17.120 This guy gets on.
00:37:17.740 He's like, oh, I cut a deal with McCarthy.
00:37:19.760 He's not going to use a super PAC money against my candidates.
00:37:23.800 Therefore, I'm now for McCarthy.
00:37:25.480 I got 10 votes.
00:37:26.760 Like, they don't have any idea what this is about.
00:37:28.960 This isn't about, hey, you got your bag of gold.
00:37:31.020 You got a piece of pie at the table.
00:37:33.320 And now you're back in McCarthy because you got something from him.
00:37:36.200 Nobody cares what David McIntosh or Slimeball Club for Growth thinks that, by the way, spent a million dollars in 2015-16 to defeat President Trump.
00:37:46.220 These are the slimeballs that these 20 are exposing Steve by the hour.
00:37:52.520 And the people that come on and say, well, John, you know, there's no end game.
00:37:57.200 What's the end game?
00:37:58.160 Hey, Steve, you know what the end game is?
00:38:00.260 There is no end game.
00:38:01.720 That's the beauty of this.
00:38:03.160 Hey, John, what's the plan?
00:38:05.180 Nobody has a plan.
00:38:06.340 Did the 20 have a plan?
00:38:07.900 Yes.
00:38:08.880 You know what the plan is, Steve?
00:38:10.260 It's a great plan.
00:38:11.480 You want to know what it is?
00:38:12.840 It's the end plan.
00:38:14.620 No.
00:38:15.220 The plan is no.
00:38:16.840 That's the plan.
00:38:17.900 It's simple.
00:38:18.700 It's one word.
00:38:19.840 Our plan is no.
00:38:21.780 It is as simple as that.
00:38:24.560 And I tell you the other thing.
00:38:26.020 We're done collaborating with the Quislings and the communists.
00:38:29.220 Now they're out threatening us.
00:38:30.640 Oh, we're going to cut a deal with the Democrats.
00:38:32.200 Oh, my God, John.
00:38:33.320 Oh, Mr. Bill.
00:38:34.400 Oh, no, they're going to cut a deal with the Democrats.
00:38:36.220 What deal are they going to cut?
00:38:37.920 Oh, they're going to what?
00:38:39.420 Get another $1.7 trillion omnibus bill?
00:38:42.860 Oh, they're going to get 20 Republicans to vote with that in the Senate?
00:38:45.720 Oh, we already did that.
00:38:46.580 Oh, they're going to pass $2 trillion in spending for bike paths to nowhere?
00:38:50.900 Money we don't have?
00:38:52.220 Oh, they already cut that deal.
00:38:53.720 What exactly deal are they going to cut?
00:38:55.240 They're cutting all the deals now.
00:38:56.760 There's no difference.
00:38:57.700 And they're like, well, you know, but what happens, John?
00:39:00.900 What happens if the Democrats get more seats on the committees?
00:39:04.580 The same thing that's happening now.
00:39:06.060 So let me get this straight.
00:39:07.600 You're willing to cut a deal, a gang of 200.
00:39:11.300 Let's forget the gang of 20.
00:39:12.660 Gang of 200.
00:39:13.420 You're willing to cut a deal with the Democrats to weaken the country, weaken Republicans' hand,
00:39:20.140 weaken the majority, put more Democrats on committees, weaken the investigations.
00:39:24.260 You're willing to do that for what?
00:39:27.100 To shill for McCarthy?
00:39:28.880 What are you getting in return?
00:39:30.240 Hold it.
00:39:30.420 This has nothing to do.
00:39:31.620 This has nothing to do but shilling for McCarthy.
00:39:34.180 It's the gang of 200.
00:39:35.320 But the gang, but they're shilling for McCarthy because he's the direct contact to the money
00:39:39.840 in Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and the global corporations.
00:39:42.940 Bingo.
00:39:43.980 He's the bag man.
00:39:45.080 But hold it.
00:39:45.640 But hold it.
00:39:46.360 They're spitting.
00:39:47.360 Even in general, General Bacon, and I admire General Bacon for service, right?
00:39:52.320 Great Air Force pilot, good combat, great guy.
00:39:55.100 No offense.
00:39:55.760 A little out of his depth in Congress.
00:39:57.360 Let's be blunt about it.
00:39:58.700 He's talking yesterday about, yeah, we got to start.
00:40:00.720 If we can't get this done today, we got to start talking to Democrats.
00:40:03.300 You are spitting in the face of all those grassroots people that knocked on the doors,
00:40:08.960 that gave the money, that got this, that got this majority.
00:40:11.540 Remember, they say, well, this is a small majority.
00:40:13.360 This is what Nancy Pelosi had.
00:40:15.240 And I can't stand anything she stands for, but she ruled with an iron fist and got things
00:40:19.820 done for her people, right?
00:40:21.700 Now, here's the thing.
00:40:22.900 They're prepared.
00:40:23.780 Do you think Nancy Pelosi was ever going to compromise and put Republicans, give them committee
00:40:28.580 chairs and start talking, you know, start doing some coalition government for bipartisanship?
00:40:33.860 John Frederick, was that ever a possibility with the way Nancy Pelosi and that gang over
00:40:37.860 there rolls?
00:40:40.180 No, of course not.
00:40:41.280 Because what we're seeing is this gang of 200 is putting their personal bag of gold.
00:40:46.320 They got the hand out.
00:40:47.080 They get the 10 cups out.
00:40:48.600 They all got a corner office.
00:40:49.500 Hey, if McCarthy doesn't get in there, if my shill doesn't get in there, hey, what about
00:40:53.500 that three corner office you promised me with the four windows on the fourth floor?
00:40:57.780 Do I lose that?
00:40:59.200 This is what this whole thing is about.
00:41:00.560 This has nothing to do with us, working people, spending money we don't have, policy.
00:41:05.300 It's all about them.
00:41:06.860 The gang of 200 is willing to sell out working people in this country, willing to sell them
00:41:13.740 out to protect their shill, Kevin McCarthy.
00:41:16.960 That's why we need to turn this around.
00:41:18.400 It's like, oh, the gang of 20, the Taliban.
00:41:20.660 No, it's the gang of 200, right?
00:41:22.380 What do they stand for?
00:41:23.540 What it is that they plan to do?
00:41:25.260 What's their plan?
00:41:26.320 They don't have a plan.
00:41:27.420 I tell you what, we have a plan.
00:41:28.960 That plan is no.
00:41:30.140 We're finally standing up.
00:41:32.100 We got 20 people.
00:41:33.240 Oh, it's only 20.
00:41:34.360 It only represents 10 or 15%.
00:41:36.220 Guess what?
00:41:37.500 It represents 80% of our base because we're all cheering these people on.
00:41:41.720 One person with courage, Steve, makes a majority.
00:41:45.180 20 people, we have a freaking army.
00:41:47.140 By the way, Eli Crane told you that.
00:41:49.820 John, how do people get to you?
00:41:51.520 Because they're going to want to follow your social media, sir.
00:41:55.340 Oh, you got to do it because we're all over this.
00:41:58.100 And hey, there's not going to be any 10 votes peeling away from McCarthy either.
00:42:03.460 That's all fake news being put out to pressure us at JF Radio Show, at JF Radio Show.
00:42:10.880 Lace them up, folks, and lace them tight because we're in this battle.
00:42:14.440 Look at what we've exposed in two days.
00:42:17.660 Imagine if this goes five days.
00:42:19.720 The rats are coming off the ship.
00:42:21.940 We're seeing it all.
00:42:22.940 Conservative ink, man.
00:42:24.340 They feign opposition.
00:42:25.740 They're fakers.
00:42:26.660 They're all exposed.
00:42:28.240 Controlled opposition.
00:42:29.220 John Fredericks, thank you very much.
00:42:30.620 Okay.
00:42:31.260 We got Cortez.
00:42:32.500 We have Gaffney.
00:42:33.540 We're going to be joined by the Mike Davis.
00:42:36.100 The red-haired Irishman wants to come in and get into this fight.
00:42:39.240 We'll hopefully get Lauren Bovert at the top of the hour.
00:42:41.260 Just stick around.
00:42:42.900 We're going to talk to you about the pieces that they're looking to do to put this deal together.
00:42:47.480 Can you trust?
00:42:49.220 Can you trust?
00:42:50.780 Because this is ultimately about the debt ceiling, spending, and putting the country's financial house in order.
00:42:57.260 Next in the war room.
00:42:59.020 Offers for free iPhones are usually too good to be true.
00:43:02.760 Just like freedom itself, nothing in life is free.

00:45:13.400 Frank Gaffney.
00:45:14.640 Okay.
00:45:15.040 So they're coming fast and furious now.
00:45:19.880 Andrew Desario just tweeted out, exclusive.
00:45:23.900 McCarthy supporters are taking a new aim at his detractors.
00:45:28.300 Arguing the delay in choosing a speaker is creating a, wait for it, national security risk
00:45:35.080 that undermines Republicans' promises to its own voters.
00:45:39.260 Frank Gaffney, you're the war dog that's been at the tip of the spear of national security
00:45:44.360 since you were in the Reagan administration.
00:45:46.360 So I believe the Department of Defense.
00:45:49.380 Do you buy this, sir?
00:45:52.520 Well, I loved John Frederick's line about the roaches coming out.
00:45:57.060 We saw two of the worst of them yesterday in an orgy of bipartisanship in Kentucky.
00:46:03.240 Joe Biden, President of the United States.
00:46:05.220 Mitch McConnell, the minority leader of the Senate.
00:46:09.520 What they have in common, I fear, with Kevin McCarthy, and for that matter, Nancy Pelosi,
00:46:15.160 and Chuck Schumer, and a whole bunch of others, is they're all compromised by the Chinese Communist
00:46:21.960 Party.
00:46:23.200 You want to talk about threats to the national security of the United States?
00:46:26.440 I can't imagine more serious threats to the national security of the United States than
00:46:31.020 having five of the top people in our government in the thrall of, if not the pay of, certainly
00:46:39.560 aligned with and doing, I'm afraid, the business of, our mortal enemies, the Chinese Communist
00:46:45.620 Party.
00:46:46.820 That's what we need an investigation about.
00:46:48.820 You'll never get an investigation into any of them, a proper, rigorous, real investigation,
00:46:54.880 if Kevin McCarthy, the untrustworthy Kevin McCarthy, and a man who is himself, I believe,
00:47:01.420 compromised, notably through the Sequoia connection, in the role of speaker, calling the shots, telling
00:47:08.020 people what they can investigate, what they can't, who they can call as witnesses, who
00:47:11.700 they can't, and who they can subpoena when they get resistance.
00:47:16.300 That's what we need, and we're not going to get it from this guy.
00:47:18.800 Kevin Gowdy, when he's on Fox News, and then Paul Ryan and Matt McCarthy, the whole Benghazi
00:47:23.300 fiasco, the whole Benghazi, it was all performative.
00:47:27.380 You got to get serious here.
00:47:28.680 Frank, we got on the Committee on the Present Danger China, we've got other seminars we're
00:47:36.980 putting up, webinars today.
00:47:38.320 How do people get there?
00:47:39.700 One o'clock today, Eastern Time, Committee on the Present Danger China webinar on organ
00:47:46.240 genocide, and how it's coming for you, I'm afraid.
00:47:51.540 It's available at presentdangerchina.org.
00:47:54.560 You need to register, join us.
00:47:56.340 I hope everybody will, because we talk a little bit about TikTok and what it's doing to collect
00:48:01.240 your personal data.
00:48:02.520 Maybe it's to find out what your DNA is, so that they can come for your organs when they
00:48:07.200 take over.
00:48:08.020 We mustn't let this happen.
00:48:09.220 Learn how we can stop it at presentdangerchina.org.
00:48:12.400 Thank you, Steve.
00:48:13.520 Thank you, brother.
00:48:14.240 By the way, breaking news, Dan Bishop of North Carolina, and Dan Bishop really hasn't
00:48:18.700 been at the forefront.
00:48:19.420 He's come at the forefront of this.
00:48:20.660 He says that he will, he tells Fox News, he will resign from Congress if they're unsuccessful
00:48:27.740 in their efforts to bring about institutional change in the House, and he does not trust
00:48:31.700 McCarthy to deliver.
00:48:32.740 If McCarthy wins, he will resign.
00:48:34.800 They're raising the stakes here, ladies and gentlemen.
00:48:36.500 This is getting ugly.
00:48:38.780 I want to get to Cardi B, and I want to do it at the top of the hour, because I don't
00:48:41.540 want to force this, because she speaks truth to power here.
00:48:43.920 I want to bring in Cortez.
00:48:45.460 Cortez, I need you to explain.
00:48:47.080 We've talked about this now for a couple of years, and now you're seeing it in every
00:48:50.180 story.
00:48:50.480 It was the lead story.
00:48:52.000 So if you go to Getter right now, my Getter account, I've got a story up there called
00:48:56.580 The Signal.
00:48:57.640 And it is the lead story in the Hill newspaper, which is the inside baseball to inside baseball.
00:49:02.760 Right.
00:49:03.160 It is about this, and what does it talk about?
00:49:06.180 That they're all freaked out everywhere on Capitol Hill because in the headline, the
00:49:10.640 debt ceiling crisis that's to come because of what they're seeing today.
00:49:15.000 Cortez, this is nothing compared to what's going to happen on the debt ceiling in the
00:49:22.220 appropriations and spending fights that are going to come, sir.
00:49:25.460 No, exactly.
00:49:26.240 As tumultuous as this week is, as this family squabble is among Republicans, it's nothing
00:49:31.140 compared to the coming political crucible of the debt ceiling crisis, because that is
00:49:35.880 the last and only significant leverage point for the incoming GOP House.
00:49:40.560 Because of what the GOP Senate Unix, the collaborators, did with the omnibus that removed so many political
00:49:46.400 weapons away from this incoming House majority, that the remaining significant material leverage
00:49:51.780 point is the debt ceiling.
00:49:53.060 And the only good news, Steve, the only silver lining to that omnibus monstrosity is that
00:49:58.940 we now need to finance all of that unfunded boondoggle spending.
00:50:03.400 And I mean, immediately, right, within weeks.
00:50:06.100 So herein lies the chance, the opportunity, the fulcrum point for the House Republicans, no
00:50:11.780 matter who the speaker is, to finally take on Joe Biden and stop the madness of his twin
00:50:17.820 created crises, the most significant crises that he has created.
00:50:20.940 Both the border crisis, as well as the economic crisis, the combination, the collision of
00:50:26.300 Biden's recession with Biden's inflationary madness.
00:50:29.760 The debt ceiling is the time and the place where the Republicans can finally stand up and
00:50:35.280 say no.
00:50:36.020 And so you played Abigail Spanberger, by the way, the congresswoman at the beginning of
00:50:39.460 the show, where she really lamented that there's a potential looming crisis.
00:50:43.000 I think we on the right pine for this crisis.
00:50:45.520 This is exactly the moment we want.
00:50:47.520 We want to force a government shutdown.
00:50:50.100 We want to force Biden to shut the government down, by the way.
00:50:53.240 He will be the one who's choosing, for example, to prioritize illegal migrants over funding
00:50:58.000 the budget.
00:50:58.980 There's so much to get into here.
00:51:00.420 And I ask you to just, I know you're jammed and we're late getting to you, but just stay
00:51:03.760 through the break.
00:51:04.340 I got Mike Davis, too, on the thing.
00:51:06.180 What I want to talk to, because we need the posse to be in the cadre to be as smart as possible
00:51:11.700 about this.
00:51:12.160 Right now, we've had Ralph Norman on.
00:51:14.560 And remember, Ralph Norman's journey on this from South Carolina as a real estate developer
00:51:18.180 started in this conference where he asked McCarthy, hey, the 10-year balanced budget,
00:51:23.400 the 70-year, which one?
00:51:24.460 You got to be for one.
00:51:25.240 Which one?
00:51:25.560 He goes, I'm not for it.
00:51:27.240 Norman has been talking about debt ceiling and spending.
00:51:30.060 And now, if you look at the articles, particularly in CNN and others, are saying, oh, Ralph Norman's
00:51:34.560 conflating the debt ceiling with the spending.
00:51:37.480 No, they're trying to confuse you there.
00:51:39.460 It's not conflated.
00:51:40.600 It's welded at the hip.
00:51:42.500 Make sure all the guys that watch this show from the left-wing media understand.
00:51:46.320 We're not letting you play the game.
00:51:47.720 Oh, you're conflating because it's really about possession.
00:51:49.820 No, no, no, no, no.
00:51:50.620 That's a game, a semantic game you guys have played for years.
00:51:53.940 The debt ceiling and the raising of it is absolutely welded, hard-weld to the spending.
00:52:02.220 And it's going to stop because the adults in the room are the war room posse, the head of
00:52:08.620 the creditors committee.
00:52:10.080 And this fight, if you think it's gotten nasty now, folks, you ain't seen nothing yet.
00:52:16.400 It's all about money and it's about power.
00:52:19.780 Short commercial break.
00:52:20.940 Cortez, Mike Davis, Boebert, next.
