00:00:00.000 He was also strategizing with Steve Bannon and former Trump campaign spokesman Jason Miller.
00:00:06.000 In late November, Eduardo Bolsonaro tweeted this video of Bannon speaking at CPAC Mexico.
00:00:15.080 Look in the streets of Brazil. Look at the great patriots in Brazil that had a lot of danger to themselves have come forward in the streets of Brazil.
00:00:24.500 And quite frankly, as much as I love the Bolsonaro's and Eduardo, I think, is going to speak tomorrow.
00:00:28.800 And there's no better man on this globe than Eduardo Bolsonaro or his father.
00:00:33.580 In Brazil, it's gone beyond the Bolsonaro's. This is the people saying, no, you didn't follow the Constitution.
00:00:39.300 You use these machines, use the judiciary to shut us down in the media, and we're not going to tolerate it.
00:00:44.920 It's going to be very interesting to see how that plays out. Same in the United States.
00:00:48.920 You know, the people like Carrie Lake are not going to give up. 0.99
00:00:51.160 And I use as a warning in the great fight that you guys have in front of you, both for the cultural issues,
00:00:56.900 for the political issues and the economic issues, once they start taking and digitizing the elections,
00:01:04.660 once they start going to machines where you can't get paper ballot, you don't have proof of ID,
00:01:09.280 you take it away from the precincts and they start to centralize it in collection centers.
00:01:14.180 That's all done for one reason.
00:01:16.500 That's to consistently steal elections because they know they don't have the backing of the people.
00:01:20.460 Last night, Bannon posted on social media, quote, Lula stole the elections.
00:01:26.560 Brazilians know this.
00:01:28.180 He's been talking about Brazil for months, pushing conspiracies and calling for Bolsonaro
00:01:33.180 and his supporters to not accept the results of the election.
00:01:39.020 You've got to start in Brazil with the Bolsonaro's and the fight for freedom and the fight for sovereignty.
00:01:47.520 The criminal Lula, the international criminal Lula, the partner of the Chinese Communist Party, 0.77
00:01:55.720 is on the cusp with the aid and assistance of the United States government and national security apparatus
00:02:01.940 who brag about, you know, CIA going down there in the summer, warning the Bolsonaro's.
00:02:08.440 All right, enough, enough.
00:02:10.460 We get the idea.
00:02:12.380 We get the point.
00:02:13.000 Trump's not comment on the rights in Brazil, but he expressed his support for this thug several times. 0.86
00:02:20.060 He took credit for helping him reach the runoff in the presidential election.
00:02:24.080 Jimmy Raskin of Maryland made a direct comparison between what's happening in Brazil
00:02:27.760 and Donald Trump supporters tweeting apart these fascists modeling themselves after Trump's January 6th rioters
00:02:33.720 must end up in the same place, prison.
00:02:38.240 And Michael Steele, this is this is well, first of all, if you're if you're in Brazil
00:02:44.380 and you see fascists trying to undermine democracy in Brazil, you could be forgiven for asking,
00:02:51.900 wait, how does this guy keep getting arrested?
00:02:55.220 How does this guy keep getting convicted?
00:02:57.760 How does this guy keep getting sentenced?
00:02:59.760 And how does this guy keep like out of jail to to export fascism and the undermining of democracy?
00:03:07.620 That's that's part one of it.
00:03:09.260 But part two is and I know I know you'll share my feelings is as for me, a former Republican.
00:03:17.280 But we used to be the people that praised Ronald Reagan for talking about exporting democracy,
00:03:24.600 for calling the Soviet Union an evil empire.
00:03:28.120 And while everybody freaked out in the West while he was saying that, we heard after the Iron Curtain fell
00:03:34.860 that people were whispering, you know, from prison cell to prison cell in the gulags.
00:03:40.220 There is hope. There is a president who understands what what's going on and we have a chance to be liberated.
00:03:50.100 That's where we used to be.
00:03:52.260 Now, we actually, after 240 years of exporting democracy from this country,
00:03:58.480 Jeffersonian democracy from this country around the world.
00:04:01.160 Well, we're now with through Donald Trump, we've we've we've got people exporting fascism, election denialism,
00:04:10.740 hatred of the press, hatred of the courts, all the things that Bannon was saying right there and that that the people of Brazil picked up on.
00:04:18.180 Well, let's be very clear about what you say, CPAC and other pro-Trump organizations are promoting.
00:04:26.340 This is fascism.
00:04:27.420 This is the use of violence to undermine democratic outcomes.
00:04:32.340 That's why CPAC goes.
00:04:33.720 OK, morning.
00:04:35.200 I'm glad morning, Mika.
00:04:36.580 Welcome.
00:04:37.160 It is Monday, 9 January year of 2023.
00:04:40.120 I'm glad morning, Mika finally focused on Brazil, folks.
00:04:44.440 There's been millions of people in the streets since right after the election.
00:04:50.120 And the reason is they have massive questions about that election in the military's audit backs.
00:04:57.140 You've got to get some details here.
00:04:58.860 You've got to understand exactly what's going on.
00:05:00.900 The people in Brazil, this is a spontaneous, a spontaneous protest.
00:05:07.080 It's been going on now for almost three months.
00:05:10.760 And the Bolsonaro's are not connected with you.
00:05:12.980 You can see that Bolsonaro is in the United States.
00:05:15.560 He actually came out last night and condemned what went on.
00:05:19.240 But the basis of this gets back to the preliminaries, right?
00:05:24.520 The first round and then the final round.
00:05:27.280 I'm going to get Terman in here in a second.
00:05:29.140 There's a world on fire and the corporate media refuses to cover it.
00:05:34.840 OK, there's a world on fire.
00:05:36.100 You have a massive military combat exercise by the Chinese Communist Party, the PLA, around Taiwan over the weekend.
00:05:44.420 Posobiec is going to be here for that.
00:05:46.240 You've got in Kiev in Ukraine, where we've been told by morning Mika since day one that Russia is about to collapse.
00:05:56.720 Angus King comes back from seeing the front lines, says what the war room told you 10 months ago.
00:06:01.260 It's like World War I, and it's World War I, and the receiving end of most of it are Ukrainian civilians. 0.99
00:06:07.560 And there's some report out.
00:06:08.580 Don't know if it's totally accurate or not.
00:06:10.060 There's 600 Ukrainian soldiers or troops killed by continued Russian bombardment.
00:06:16.420 Of course, you've got Brazil.
00:06:17.660 And what the morning, Joe, I'm glad they played the piece of mine where I talked about the Chinese Communist Party.
00:06:22.520 Remember, Lula's an international criminal.
00:06:24.680 That's not me saying that.
00:06:25.860 That's the Brazilian courts that aim in jail forever, right?
00:06:28.840 He sold out his country to China.
00:06:30.720 The CCP, everybody knows that.
00:06:32.500 Who's at his inauguration?
00:06:34.620 Wan Shishan.
00:06:35.680 Wan Shishan is Xi's hammer. 0.66
00:06:38.300 This is the guy that Michael Bloomberg flew to Singapore a couple of years ago and introduced him at the Bloomberg Conference in Singapore and said,
00:06:44.740 this is the most powerful and most important guy in the world.
00:06:48.580 He was hanging out with Lula just a couple of days ago down there plotting exactly how they're essentially going to make Brazil living space for resources for the Chinese Communist Party.
00:07:00.560 And the people in Brazil, what they want, they want answers to the audit that the constitutionally required that the military did.
00:07:08.980 I got Jack Posobiec on Taiwan in the Ukraine.
00:07:12.640 He may have some thoughts on Brazil.
00:07:14.000 We got Steve Cortez, big editorial in the Washington Post this morning by two deadbeats from, guess what, the Bush administration calling for massive increased involvement in the Ukraine.
00:07:26.300 A world on fire.
00:07:27.700 I actually say you see in the dark valley of the 1930s right here, right?
00:07:31.940 And you see exactly what is going on.
00:07:34.700 We're going to explain it all to you, at least give the information you make decisions.
00:07:37.640 Morning Mika failed to talk about our exercise in democracy last week.
00:07:41.040 We had a great exercise in democracy where we thwarted the cartel.
00:07:45.540 We could have put them out of business or at least ahead of the apparatus out of business, but weren't able to pull it off at the 11th hour, but got a lot of wins.
00:07:55.540 Today, there's a lot of consternation of Nancy Mace, Tony Gonzalez, and some of these moderates are going to support the rules package.
00:08:02.580 We got Russ Vogt.
00:08:03.640 We got Cortez.
00:08:04.780 Also in immigration, the Biden administration says we have an obligation.
00:08:08.380 We have an obligation.
00:08:09.440 You have an obligation to make more legal pathways for illegal aliens to get into the country.
00:08:16.200 You have an obligation.
00:08:17.420 That's by Admiral John Kirby, the National Security Council spokesman.
00:08:21.360 So world on fire, including in our nation's capital, Washington, D.C.
00:08:25.100 We're going to get to it all day.
00:08:26.320 Morning, Joe.
00:08:27.000 Morning, Mika.
00:08:27.500 Here's what I recommend.
00:08:28.260 Take out a number two pencil and just jot down some notes.
00:08:31.400 If you had followed the show closely on Brazil over the last couple of months and if MSNBC had had the guts, you would have seen the million people in the streets.
00:08:40.380 Matthew Tierman, I want to go back in time because this talks about democracy.
00:08:45.960 Democracy only works when you have transparent, free, and fair elections.
00:08:51.000 Everybody knows it, right?
00:08:52.400 Joe Biden is not legitimate.
00:08:54.500 Totally illegitimate.
00:08:55.460 And we're going to get to the bottom.
00:08:56.500 I got a newsflash.
00:08:57.820 Jim Jordan is named head of the – he chairs the Judiciary Committee.
00:09:02.640 He's named – the subcommittee now is going to be under him on the weaponization of the U.S. government.
00:09:08.140 Hello, Chris Wray.
00:09:09.520 Hello, Merrick Garland.
00:09:11.380 Hello, Morning, Mika.
00:09:12.380 You've got to start running interference for that one right now because Jim Jordan is coming for you.
00:09:16.240 But to get to the bottom of January 6th, you've got to get to the bottom of 3 November.
00:09:21.100 We ought to have national – we ought to have congressional investigation and full testimony by both sides, bringing the guys to say, no, this election is fine because we've never heard on MSNBC actually batting back any of the actual facts of the case.
00:09:34.820 That's going to happen in Congress.
00:09:37.180 So it's a world on fire.
00:09:38.620 We want the Morning Mika crowd, particularly Mika who kind of runs the show, take out your number two pencil, get your paper and pad, and just jot down some notes here.
00:09:46.440 But Tierman, go back in time for me from the first round and the second round, the massive issues that you showed.
00:09:53.100 They turned up in the military's constitutionally required audit, which they said they couldn't finish, sir.
00:10:01.240 Well, first, great point on the weaponization of government.
00:10:05.080 We certainly see that in Brazil.
00:10:06.380 But, you know, you went with the easy, low-hanging fruit.
00:10:08.920 Hello, Chris Wray.
00:10:10.260 How about hello, IRS?
00:10:12.040 Hello, Department of Treasury?
00:10:13.380 Hello, EPA and Navigable Waters Act?
00:10:15.580 Hello, Department of Education?
00:10:18.120 That's where the weaponization of government really is, not the heavy-handed, jackbooted thugs of those with enforcement power and guns.
00:10:25.900 It's the bureaucrats. 0.99
00:10:27.400 That's what makes the state so pernicious.
00:10:30.100 And Brazil has it with their courts.
00:10:31.920 They live under a judicial tyranny, an autocracy of judges who were not elected, but they were appointed by politicians.
00:10:39.260 And, obviously, the greatest example is Lula appointed many of them, and they let him out of prison.
00:10:45.360 Edson Foxheen is a Supreme Court justice on the Supreme Court, the STF, who signed him out of prison so he could run,
00:10:54.220 and annulled and vacated his judgments and sentences and expunged his record in violation of the public act on those who have felonies, cannot run for public office.
00:11:07.400 It's absolutely gross what's going on there.
00:11:10.300 And where's Morning Mika and Joe when they talk about fascism, fascism, fascism?
00:11:15.980 Yesterday, in the press conference that Lula gave ad hoc in his, you know, cigar roller shirt, he's a man of the people,
00:11:24.440 he said, these fascists, these thugs, these Stalinists.
00:11:29.100 And then he corrected himself.
00:11:30.900 And he said, oh, not Stalinists, just these fascists.
00:11:33.400 He literally, again, told you who he was.
00:11:37.260 He admires Stalin.
00:11:39.120 Stalin is not a pejorative to him.
00:11:41.180 It slipped out.
00:11:42.800 It's ridiculous who these people are.
00:11:44.920 It's a Freudian slip.
00:11:48.140 Hang on for a second, but I've got to get to this military report because this is the basis.
00:11:51.760 Take me through the audit.
00:11:53.580 Take me through what was constitutionally required to show the Brazilian people to make sure they had some honesty here.
00:11:59.540 So, obviously, we watched, and you and I covered this very, very deeply.
00:12:03.400 On a daily basis for months, leading into the first round, between the 28 days between the first round and the second round,
00:12:09.820 and then after the second round, when immediately protests sprung up.
00:12:13.400 You have the tabulation, Sunday night, October 30th.
00:12:15.900 You and I did an hour on Getter livestream, breaking it down, how anomalous it was,
00:12:21.020 the down-ballot performance uncorrelated to Bolsonaro's performance, the regional districts, the states, everything.
00:12:26.400 It made no sense.
00:12:27.100 So, the second that there are questions about the credibility of this, and there are allegations of fraud,
00:12:33.200 they took the data down two days after from the public site, so you couldn't scrub it.
00:12:37.740 It was already, obviously, taken down by the weaponized office of the masses, thank God for them,
00:12:42.840 so that we had material to work with to analyze.
00:12:45.220 But they immediately scrubbed their own data and put it back up.
00:12:47.880 So, questions percolated.
00:12:49.740 The military in the Constitution has a role to adjudicate separated powers disputes.
00:12:54.680 This is a perfect example of one.
00:12:56.180 You've got the judiciary and the electoral court, which reports the judiciary,
00:12:59.800 it's a functionary of the judiciary, in dispute with the executive branch and the legislature.
00:13:05.360 The Constitution says it's the military's role to adjudicate these disputes, to maintain order.
00:13:09.660 And they had a right to audit the machines, the code, and the tabulation data, and the court would not give it to them.
00:13:17.240 They just ignored them.
00:13:18.440 They said no, and the military put out a 65-page report saying,
00:13:22.880 we have indications that there are things that are anomalous, but we can't say for certain,
00:13:27.120 because the court won't give us the machines, the code, and the tabulation data.
00:13:30.440 That alone was the pretextual material needed, according to constitutional lines, to invoke Article 142.
00:13:38.420 Who judges the judges?
00:13:40.140 The judges violated the Constitution, violated the law, and ultimately the military,
00:13:45.320 because of corruption and traitors within the highest range.
00:13:48.220 Knock?
00:13:49.420 Hang on for a second.
00:13:52.520 How many people, we've got to go to break,
00:13:54.760 but how long are these protests that MSNBC went out of their way not to cover,
00:13:58.560 BBC didn't cover, CNN didn't cover, and that mark will live with them forever?
00:14:03.080 How many millions of people were in the streets for weeks and weeks and weeks?
00:14:06.620 These are civilians in Brazil.
00:14:09.160 Nothing to do with Bolsonaro.
00:14:10.640 These are people saying, hey, you stole this election.
00:14:13.160 We need to get these machines.
00:14:14.340 How many millions of people for how many weeks, Matthew, before we go to break?
00:14:17.340 It's on order of magnitude in millions.
00:14:20.060 It is not measured in thousands.
00:14:21.740 Just in Brasilia, it's been millions.
00:14:23.900 And you add this to all the cities, from the big cities, Rio, Sao Paulo, Belo Horizonte...
00:14:28.620 Will the lack of a red wave during the midterms lead to a more emboldened Biden,
00:14:34.140 more wasteful government spending, higher taxes, a deepening of inflation?
00:14:38.380 And how do you protect your hard-earned savings from chaotic financial markets?
00:14:42.840 The answer, by diversifying your retirement savings with real, physical, precious metals

00:15:34.360 Your host, Stephen K.
00:15:36.200 Okay, welcome back.
00:15:39.560 Jack, we're going to get to this battle on Capitol Hill at the bottom.
00:15:42.280 I've got Russ Vogt.
00:15:43.140 I've got Cortez.
00:15:43.860 Cortez also got a lot to say about Ukraine.
00:15:46.100 I'm going to get to that in a second.
00:15:47.080 Jack, real quickly, because I want to go through the Brazil situation, updates on social media,
00:15:52.840 the Twitter platform, and what you're hearing about the military, sir.
00:15:56.180 Well, Steve, you know, first off, I've got to say, looking into that cold opening morning,
00:16:01.480 Mika, I didn't realize that Stephen K.
00:16:03.440 Bannon was actually responsible for the last century of coups in South America and Latin 0.55
00:16:08.660 America.
00:16:09.400 Apparently, you know, the Pinochet and the helicopters, that was Bannon.
00:16:14.080 I guess, Ali North and the Contras.
00:16:15.720 Ali North was taking the fall for Stephen K.
00:16:18.220 Bannon.
00:16:18.560 That was really you, arming the Contras against the Sandinistas down there in Nicaragua.
00:16:22.460 But some of the stuff that we're seeing, and of course, with Twitter, you know, it's
00:16:26.760 everything with a grain of salt.
00:16:28.460 We're very much in a fog of war here.
00:16:30.460 I've seen crazy videos of police cars crashing into crowds, driving at high speeds directly
00:16:37.060 at protesters.
00:16:38.240 I've seen protesters taking down riot horses and riot officers that are on the horses.
00:16:44.180 But you have seen, by the way, with the military.
00:16:48.660 But as few arrests as they had, given the million people or 500,000 of million people
00:16:53.300 they've had, it looks like very few arrests.
00:16:55.840 Is the military really coming in full force to arrest people, or at least has it so far?
00:17:01.220 Here's what's very interesting, Steve, because I'm seeing videos, some aerial footage, some
00:17:05.380 on the ground, where it looks like the military is actually standing off from the police.
00:17:12.000 And so the police are trying to come in and conduct mass arrests in these videos.
00:17:16.080 And you've got military, you've even got some armored personnel carriers, where they're
00:17:20.380 blocking the police from going in and conducting these mass arrests overnight last night.
00:17:25.700 So we're watching these videos and trying to understand what we're looking at.
00:17:28.820 But it looks as though the military is standing up to the police forces, which would be very
00:17:33.980 interesting.
00:17:34.480 And it tees off of what Tierman is talking about, about this constitutional role that the
00:17:38.700 military plays in Brazil.
00:17:39.760 Hang on for one second.
00:17:42.680 I want to go back to Tierman, but I want to connect dots here with what you're going to
00:17:46.560 talk to us about this massive military exercise in the Straits of Taiwan with the Chinese Communist
00:17:53.060 Party.
00:17:53.740 Wan Shishan, and Wan Shishan is a, he's the brains of the operation with Xi. 0.55
00:17:59.340 She's kind of the front guy in the hammer.
00:18:00.980 Wan Shishan's the hammer behind the scenes.
00:18:03.240 He's the one that's got the whole strategy, one belt, one road, consolidation of the Eurasian 0.64
00:18:06.880 landmass.
00:18:07.700 He's been obsessed with Brazil and he's been very close to Lula ever since Lula had all
00:18:13.260 those criminal charges for the kickbacks and the graft and the corruption and all that of
00:18:17.520 really selling out Brazil to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:18:20.700 Everybody will tell you, and morning Mika, Mika, honor your father.
00:18:23.720 Dr. Brzezinski is one of the most brilliant strategists ever.
00:18:26.860 Wan Shishan, everybody knows that's a China hand. 0.97
00:18:29.000 We'll tell you, Wan Shishan's been obsessed, Tierman and Posobiec, obsessed with legitimacy, 0.74
00:18:34.840 legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:18:36.740 Ever since we have bifurcated, right, by narrative, the Chinese Communist Party from
00:18:42.480 Lao Baixing, the state of China, and focus on the CCP, it should be not lost on anybody.
00:18:48.020 That McCarthy stood up there at one o'clock in the morning when he gave his speech.
00:18:51.780 He says, we're going to investigate the rise of the Chinese Communist Party and particularly
00:18:57.040 infiltration here in the United States of America.
00:18:59.260 That's another big thing today about the select committee under Gallagher to get to the influence
00:19:04.200 peddling, influence peddling in the United States.
00:19:06.900 Wan Shishan has said and has told Lula, the key is legitimacy.
00:19:11.820 You must show you legitimate.
00:19:13.080 This is what they're working on in Beijing to convince Lao Baixing that they are not just
00:19:19.260 a criminal element, that they are actually a legitimate government.
00:19:22.780 Matthew Tierman, just give me the facts.
00:19:25.180 Where do we stand today?
00:19:26.220 And this is where you got to get your number two pencil out, Mika.
00:19:29.660 You can catch up here.
00:19:30.620 We're going to give you a quick pricey on what you guys willingly did not cover.
00:19:35.960 You willingly looked away from this and you looked away from the Brazilian people. 1.00
00:19:39.860 There were millions and millions, tens of millions of people in the street, working class people,
00:19:45.100 and particularly, wait for it, evangelical Christians that are not prepared to sit there and let 0.51
00:19:51.460 a atheistic, Marxist, communist criminal like Lula steal the election and steal their country.
00:19:58.820 Matthew Tierman.
00:20:00.340 Well, we talked about it over and over for these two months, these largest manifestations
00:20:04.720 in human history, at least in a constitutional republic.
00:20:07.160 The revolution would not be televised unless they could use it for their globalist integrative narrative.
00:20:13.860 If Article 142 was invoked, then it would be, here's a coup.
00:20:18.400 Well, okay, it wasn't.
00:20:19.980 Lula was inaugurated and now you have this protest and they can make their January 6th corollaries
00:20:25.200 and now we're seeing the dishonesty in which they're spinning further to cement their power.
00:20:30.880 Lula has stated multiple times in the last few weeks about the integration of South America.
00:20:36.420 He's already floated the idea of one common currency for South America,
00:20:39.980 which if you thought the Euro was a bad idea, putting, you know, southern agrarian European
00:20:44.940 economies like Italy and Spain together with industrialized North like Germany and Holland,
00:20:49.760 that made no sense.
00:20:50.840 Well, think about merging Venezuela, Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil, all different types of
00:20:56.380 economies, but that gives them the power to make the Marxist Latin American super state
00:21:01.440 that Lula has been dreaming about.
00:21:03.540 It's why he created the Forum of Sao Paulo.
00:21:05.660 Workers of the World Unite, one big global landmass out of Orwell.
00:21:09.080 This is why, this is why, this is why, this is why Wan Shishan, the brains of the operation
00:21:14.620 in Beijing, the smartest and toughest guy they have, that's doing the, the consolidation
00:21:19.760 of the Eurasian landmass, he's doing the deals with the mullahs, the output deals on oil in,
00:21:23.720 in, in Tehran.
00:21:24.900 He's the one that's sending Shiro there.
00:21:27.020 He's behind the scenes cutting the deals with our allies, Saudi Arabia, about the output
00:21:31.220 deals in the Gulf Emirates.
00:21:32.900 He's the one inviting the head of the UAE to Beijing.
00:21:36.760 He's the brains of the operation.
00:21:37.880 Exactly.
00:21:38.720 They see the potential for a communist super state in Latin America that totally goes against
00:21:44.720 the Monroe doctrine.
00:21:46.360 Am I going too fast, Mika?
00:21:47.580 We'll slow down.
00:21:48.800 We'll slow, if the notes are too fast, that number two pencil, sharpen it, get it sharp.
00:21:52.580 We want to make sure you get all the notes.
00:21:53.840 Don't depend on Joe.
00:21:54.860 He's an airhead.
00:21:55.680 We're talking to you, Dr. Brzezinski's daughter.
00:21:57.720 We know you're smart enough, right?
00:21:58.760 You just got to get focused.
00:21:59.900 And we want MSNBC, we want CNN to go back and play the footage.
00:22:03.840 Don't just play the footage for the last 24 hours.
00:22:05.720 Play the footage from back after Election Day.
00:22:08.560 Play the tens of millions of people in the streets.
00:22:11.800 Play the, how about the indigenous people? 0.98
00:22:14.000 The indigenous chiefs up there saying that they would give their lives because they're
00:22:18.780 sitting there, not Steve Bannon, not Matthew Tierman, not Jason Miller.
00:22:22.720 Indigenous chiefs are sitting there saying they stole this election, right? 0.89
00:22:27.160 And we will die before they steal our country. 0.99
00:22:30.000 Tierman, are those essentially direct quotes from the indigenous chiefs that have been
00:22:34.260 on video everywhere, sir?
00:22:36.260 Well, we went over it.
00:22:37.200 They were disenfranchised.
00:22:38.360 They saw that in their poor indigenous regions that historically shifted toward the Marxist
00:22:44.120 left, the Workers' Party, Lula, that their precincts had zero votes of their people,
00:22:48.880 of their tribesmen.
00:22:50.140 And they did not vote by a number of zero.
00:22:52.740 Many of them voted for Bolsonaro.
00:22:53.760 So they were disenfranchised, so they joined the march.
00:22:56.520 They became sort of the center of action emotionally for the country in these protest movements.
00:23:01.500 So Chief Cerreri is still in jail.
00:23:04.320 He was picked up after the certification.
00:23:06.520 He's been compelled, under torture.
00:23:09.340 By the way, this is the way Lula runs.
00:23:13.160 He's an atheistic Marxist.
00:23:14.640 He's an out-front communist.
00:23:15.800 They're trying to take over all Latin America, and the CCP is their partner.
00:23:18.820 This is the plan.
00:23:19.860 And this is not a conspiracy theory.
00:23:21.600 They talk about it.
00:23:22.580 This is upping your grill.
00:23:24.300 Hang on for a second, Tierman, because I'm going to lose Posobiec.
00:23:26.360 I'm going to just put a pin in it.
00:23:27.460 I'm going to come back to you.
00:23:28.320 I've got to get to the rest of the world on fire.
00:23:30.440 Jack Posobiec, you speak perfect Mandarin.
00:23:32.700 You're a naval intelligence officer.
00:23:35.120 Talk to me about Taiwan.
00:23:36.720 I want to tie it to Ukraine. 0.92
00:23:37.900 I've got to get Cortez in here.
00:23:38.840 What happened in Taiwan over the weekend, sir?
00:23:41.400 Steve, a massive military exercise.
00:23:44.420 One of the largest we've seen all around Taiwan Island, 28 of the most advanced fighter jets
00:23:51.500 and bombers of the Chinese military, their Air Force, the People's Liberation Army Air Force
00:23:56.740 were launched, as well as live fire drills from the Chinese Navy.
00:24:00.780 This is how it would start.
00:24:03.060 A military blockade of the island of Taiwan, they would starve them out. 0.66
00:24:07.840 They would seek to extend that blockade.
00:24:09.920 Look, we've run the numbers.
00:24:11.400 We know that an invasion, and they know that an invasion would be highly costly.
00:24:15.020 So they're going to use what?
00:24:16.460 Siege tactics, and they're going to dare the U.S. to get involved.
00:24:19.540 They're going to dare Japan to get involved. 0.97
00:24:21.440 This is exactly what they would do.
00:24:23.260 By the way, this is a regional war.
00:24:27.060 They would dare the 7th Fleet to break the thing.
00:24:29.580 I want to break the, you know, surround the island with an air and naval blockade.
00:24:37.460 Okay, hang on one second.
00:24:39.300 CSIS, which is a big-leg think tank.
00:24:41.220 Like, hold on, CSIS, the big-leg think tank, it's up on CNN now, with Johns Hopkins, or part
00:24:48.600 of Johns Hopkins, they do a report about the battle for Taiwan that's coming.
00:24:52.800 They say 25 or 26.
00:24:54.940 They actually say America actually wins, United States wins, but at a high cost.
00:25:00.180 That high cost is two carrier battle groups at the bottom of the Straits of Taiwan, tens
00:25:06.000 of thousands of dead on both sides.
00:25:07.640 Jack, how, when we're sliding into a kinetic war in the South China Sea, in the Straits of
00:25:14.080 Taiwan, around Taiwan, Silicon Valley West, how perceptive do you think that, do you believe
00:25:19.560 CSIS, we could actually win in a naval conflict in the Straits of Taiwan, sir?
00:25:25.880 Look, I don't like that CSIS report at all, because they don't take into account a little
00:25:31.440 something called the real world.
00:25:33.240 And this is the problem that you get in think tank world.
00:25:35.720 The United States is currently divided because we are in a hot proxy war with Russia and
00:25:40.780 Ukraine right now, today.
00:25:43.180 That's where we're sending our military assets, our intelligence assets, we're sending hundreds
00:25:47.400 of billions of dollars over there.
00:25:49.300 They know, Xi Jinping understands, that right now the United States is split.
00:25:54.220 And if he wants to make his move during this time, Brazil's on fire, so he's looking to 0.62
00:26:00.440 exploit that.
00:26:01.260 We're already chips all in, spending so much money into where?
00:26:05.960 Ukraine to fight Russia.
00:26:07.480 Now, if he wants to go and take Taiwan, you're going to risk seeing a regional conflict breakout
00:26:13.280 that's going to include unrestricted warfare.
00:26:16.420 Cyber GPS is going to be down, banking, finance, they're going to hit the undersea cables.
00:26:21.300 They will come at us 10 ways from Sunday.
00:26:22.940 Do you think the Nord Stream destruction was bad?
00:26:24.940 South Korea and Japan will be sucked in. 0.99
00:26:28.220 North Korea.
00:26:29.060 I know you did this on the show yesterday.
00:26:30.760 North Korea.
00:26:31.340 Those missiles aren't going to be going over Japan.
00:26:33.320 They're going to be going into Japan.
00:26:36.000 Talk to me about Ukraine.
00:26:37.260 Give me 45 seconds of Ukraine. 0.98
00:26:39.000 I know you've got to bounce.
00:26:39.800 Talk to me about Ukraine.
00:26:41.060 Look, the big thing about Ukraine is that with drone warfare and precision targeting that 0.99
00:26:44.740 we have now that these tanks are becoming ineffective, and so you're going back to World
00:26:48.380 War I tactics. 0.65
00:26:49.300 It's trench warfare, the rebirth of it, the Battle of Verdun every day is playing out
00:26:54.140 along that contact line in Bakhmut, in Donetsk Oblast.
00:26:57.960 That's where you're seeing these reports, potentially, of 600 entire barracks taken out.
00:27:02.100 The barracks are being housed at this school.
00:27:05.780 Of course, Ukraine is denying Russia, saying a lot, et cetera.
00:27:08.740 But if you look at the videos coming out of places like Soledar, the meat grinder has been 1.00
00:27:13.300 turned back on.
00:27:14.080 Jack, real quickly, your social media, how do people follow you today?
00:27:19.140 Yeah, of course.

00:28:22.420 It was billions of dollar cut to defense, which I think is a horrible idea.
00:28:28.260 When you have aggressive Russia in Ukraine, you've got a growing threat of China in the Pacific. 0.72
00:28:34.620 You know, I'm going to visit Taiwan here in a couple weeks.
00:28:36.900 How am I going to look at our allies in the eye and say, I need you to increase your defense budget, but yet America is going to decrease ours?
00:28:44.460 That's the dumbest – okay, dude, you've got to be more sophisticated in unrestricted warfare about how we're going to fight this conflict.
00:28:53.240 It can't just be continue to fund the defense industry on kinetic warfare.
00:28:57.780 If we've got to match up against the world on kinetic warfare, we're not going to win.
00:29:01.540 We need to be smart.
00:29:02.360 You've got to cut the defense budget, but you need to get into unrestricted warfare, okay, just like the CCP does.
00:29:09.880 Terman and James Erhol are going to give back to Brazil.
00:29:12.600 So in Brazil, just remember, one of the central tenets of these communist regimes is legitimacy, legitimacy.
00:29:21.200 They have to be able to prove, given everything they're going to do to people, that they're legitimate.
00:29:24.560 This is why Juan Xishan, for the last couple of years, has been kind of maniacally focused on this issue because they understand internally the CCP is quite shaky.
00:29:33.980 This is what the connect is with Lula.
00:29:36.380 Lula, if you want to solve all the problems, just open up the machines.
00:29:39.320 Just go back to the report of the military in the audit, the constitutionally required audit.
00:29:44.600 Look at the report, the code, the tabulator, the machines.
00:29:48.240 Open them up.
00:29:49.620 Open them up.
00:29:50.620 Just open them up.
00:29:52.620 Be transparent.
00:29:54.580 Let the citizens of Brazil see.
00:29:56.760 Just let them see.
00:29:58.540 Steve Cortez, Ukraine, Gonzalez.
00:30:01.660 Well, he's not voting for the – understand the rules.
00:30:04.320 We're getting into a dogfight today on Capitol Hill with our exercise in democracy last week, which we had him at 1030 at night, 1130 at night.
00:30:12.860 We had him exactly where we wanted him, and I don't want to talk about interventions, but people are bragging about it.
00:30:18.940 Well, I'll have more about the thing about that later.
00:30:20.900 I said it on the John Frederick's radio show.
00:30:22.940 It is what it is, but now is there a real deal?
00:30:25.720 We also got Nancy Mace.
00:30:27.780 I think I just put up on – she's on Twitter.
00:30:30.360 They can't convince Nancy Mace.
00:30:31.780 Gonzalez is against a bunch of guys against it, number one.
00:30:34.620 We talk about balanced budget.
00:30:36.120 We talk about cutting defense.
00:30:38.460 But talk to me about what's in the Washington Post.
00:30:41.300 Just a random op-ed today, sir, as we start the week around.
00:30:45.560 Talk about defense cuts.
00:30:46.560 What's happening, sir?
00:30:47.300 So brand-new op-ed in the Amazon Washington Post, the Jeff Bezos Washington Post, from none other than Condoleezza Rice and Robert Gates.
00:30:56.720 Condoleezza Rice, of course, Bush's national security advisor and secretary of state.
00:31:00.920 Robert Gates, secretary of defense for Obama.
00:31:04.180 So you really couldn't come up with two better examples, exhibit A and exhibit B, of the failure of the foreign policy establishment of the United States that dragged America into constant wars that served well the defense contractors, served well the power of the Washington Beltway, but were disastrous for the world and particularly disastrous for middle America.
00:31:25.240 By the way, speaking of that disaster, let me just give you quickly a few of the stats.
00:31:28.040 These are from Brown University, believe it or not, from an Ivy League school.
00:31:31.380 They do a very good investigation of the costs of war, both the financial and the human costs in their Watson Institute.
00:31:36.920 They said that in total, the wars that were created by these two, by Condoleezza Rice and Robert Gates, who are now lecturing to us that we need to escalate Ukraine.
00:31:45.160 Over 7,000 Americans killed, more than that killed if you include contractors, more than double that amount, in fact.
00:31:51.860 But in terms of regular uniformed military, over 7,000 killed.
00:31:54.920 Since 9-11, 30,000 veteran suicides, 30,000 veteran suicides.
00:32:01.720 And, of course, tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of veterans who are wounded for life, whether it's physically or mentally.
00:32:08.680 Our partners in the war, mainly Afghan and Iraqis who were fighting alongside us, 177,000 killed, according to Brown University.
00:32:17.380 And that's not counting the hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions of civilians killed.
00:32:21.200 So that is the human toll of the disastrous mistakes of Condoleezza Rice and Robert Gates.
00:32:27.340 And yet they have the temerity to come to the United States and to write this op-ed before the American people and put it in the Washington Post and advocate for a massive further escalation.
00:32:36.540 Forget about what we've already done to escalate this war.
00:32:39.120 A massive further escalation.
00:32:40.660 And, Steve, one final point on the financial cost of what we're already doing in Ukraine, even without this escalation that they're proposing.
00:32:46.840 We are now spending, as a country, just the United States in Ukraine, a country thousands of miles away that does not matter to us strategically nor economically.
00:32:55.300 We are now spending more, significantly more, than the entire defense budget of Russia, our adversary in this war.
00:33:02.160 We are spending more than Russia is spending on what should be a regional conflict in Ukraine.
00:33:09.620 It is a regional conflict.
00:33:11.060 We're the ones escalating.
00:33:12.060 By the way, we're going to talk about the border.
00:33:13.460 We've got Benson, we've got Cortez, a cartel war, all of it.
00:33:16.460 Hold right there.
00:33:17.200 Let me play the cold open for Russ's vote and just give me a thumbs up when he's up.
00:33:21.440 Go ahead and play the Bloomberg package.
00:33:22.880 The focus for you, I know, is in Mexico City and for perhaps Joe Biden, but for everybody else, people want to understand what the aftermath is from the C-SPAN ratings bonanza, which has been the negotiations over the Speaker of the House.
00:33:35.900 There is a question of what the ramifications are for some of the concessions that we saw from Kevin McCarthy in order to get to become the House Speaker.
00:33:45.600 What is the sort of projection of what this gridlock will look like, the internecine gridlock among Republicans?
00:33:52.880 Well, you could even talk to Republicans like Representative Gonzalez, who on Face the Nation over the weekend talked about the fact that C-SPAN ratings is going to continue.
00:34:02.960 Even little procedural, I would call maybe the plumbing of Congress, the plumbing of democracy, electing a speaker.
00:34:10.160 They're going to have a vote on the House rules.
00:34:12.460 All of this usually just evaporates from the headlines and it's pretty much American public ignores it.
00:34:19.120 Now, this is prime time, days spent on this and the next big fight.
00:34:24.120 I mean, we should note they're meeting at 10, some of these GOP leaders to discuss who's going to get top positions on committees and who is also going to staff those committees.
00:34:32.480 OK, hang on one second.
00:34:33.920 We don't have time to play this entire thing.
00:34:36.220 Just talks about what the worm has been focused on for weeks in this audience.
00:34:39.660 That's why it's prime time.
00:34:40.620 Russ, vote.
00:34:41.140 We'll get into the tactics later about what happened on Friday night.
00:34:46.300 But where are we today?
00:34:47.740 Are we going to get this rules package, the plumbing?
00:34:50.080 If you want to drain the swamp, you've got to get the plumbing right.
00:34:53.280 OK, so just cut with the cutesy thing to drain the swamp. 0.95
00:34:56.740 This is the hard work of breaking the cartel.
00:34:59.600 Do we have a chance to break it today?
00:35:01.220 Is it going to be voted?
00:35:02.020 Is this rules package going to go through vote?
00:35:03.740 I believe it will be.
00:35:06.060 I'm not as concerned about the rules package passing because McCarthy knows that it is part and parcel of his speaker vote.
00:35:13.280 There's a couple of moderates out there right now saying they may vote against it.
00:35:16.820 But leadership knows this has to pass.
00:35:19.160 And I think that they will get it passed.
00:35:21.240 They may have to work on it to get the last few votes.
00:35:24.820 But I'm confident it passed.
00:35:26.360 What I'm most interested in today is the parts that are not a part of the rules package.
00:35:33.000 Most of the agreement really is not necessarily a part of the rules package.
00:35:36.780 The motion to vacate, which is kind of the vote of no confidence ability going forward, is part of the rules package.
00:35:43.060 Very critical.
00:35:44.220 A lot of the 72 hours to read a bill is in there.
00:35:46.560 But a lot of these things are the decisions that the steering committee makes to execute the agreements to put people on rules committee and things like that.
00:35:57.920 That's where I'm focused on.
00:35:59.180 And the quality of the people who then get those slots is how this is going to actually be a force multiplier for the underlying underpinnings of a transformational agreement.
00:36:12.360 And it's really important as well that the members themselves begin to act muscularly as if they are part of a coalition government and to make decisions based on that and not them being previously rank-and-file members.
00:36:25.820 That's my biggest concern over the next 24 to 48 hours.
00:36:28.760 You mean the 20 that stood up?
00:36:32.580 You want those guys to act like they're not backbenchers but act exactly with the courage and the focus of the act last week, correct?
00:36:40.420 Is that what I'm hearing?
00:36:41.080 Exactly.
00:36:41.940 That's what you're hearing.
00:36:42.940 And I want to make sure that the next 10 or 30 or the next 10 makes that 20 number 30 so that the size of coalition government continues to increase week in, week out.
00:36:53.880 That'll make it so that the moderates get back in their lane and just ensure that they're part of their rank-and-file member now to make sure that they vote for what the team does and let these things play out.
00:37:04.540 I love the fact that people are tuning in to C-SPAN.
00:37:07.180 Why?
00:37:07.480 Because there's now actually something to tune into.
00:37:09.920 And that's what we want.
00:37:10.920 That's the evidence that cartel government is going away.
00:37:15.400 When you have real stuff being voted, debated on the House floor, that's what we've been pushing for.
00:37:20.940 That's what these guys secured.
00:37:22.720 Now the implications, the manifestation of that agreement needs to be increasingly clear in the days and weeks ahead.
00:37:30.800 You were the architect of this.
00:37:32.560 Gates was the master tactician.
00:37:34.060 It was just absolutely brilliant.
00:37:35.080 We'll get into the 20 – and Politico has got a magnificent story from Rachel Bade up that I put on Getter called The 28 Minutes That Saved McCarthy's Speakership.
00:37:44.120 What happened basically around 11 o'clock on Friday night that included the kind of fracas or fist fight, whatever you want to call it.
00:37:51.880 I'll get into more of that later.
00:37:53.480 But as the architect of this, are you happy right now with where this is?
00:37:58.420 Because a lot of people are saying, hey, we had the cartel head.
00:38:00.780 We listened to Russ.
00:38:01.860 You've got to take out the cartel first and then negotiate with who's going to really be the speaker.
00:38:06.200 We got McCarthy.
00:38:07.520 Are you happy?
00:38:08.560 And then what has to happen to make sure it's fully executed of the quote-unquote deal that's on the table, sir?
00:38:16.040 Well, to be clear, we wouldn't be in this position without those 20 heroes.
00:38:19.180 So they deserve all the praise for achieving what I think is a historic agreement.
00:38:24.520 And I love people who think we didn't get as far as we could have.
00:38:28.600 That's what makes this place – that's how you know you have a thriving grassroots MAGA movement.
00:38:33.820 And I think what I'm seeing – and I can just give you the facts – what I'm seeing is that we've got something that we haven't had in 60 years, which is an independent rules committee.
00:38:44.300 Now, it matters a lot as to who those people are.
00:38:47.040 We're going to see that in the next 24 to 48 hours.
00:38:50.260 And those conservatives need to put on their shoulders the weight of being able to deliver on behalf of the country in this late hour that we find ourselves in.
00:38:58.720 But the power is there for them.
00:39:03.820 In Joe Biden's America, criminals are exalted and the police are condemned.

00:40:51.920 In fact, I think there were roughly 25,000 people watching.
00:40:56.540 Grace Chung and Captain Bannon had a live stream going to watch the intensity.
00:41:00.820 The involvement of the live chat, I was involved, obviously, in some things going on,
00:41:05.320 so I could only dip in and out of there.
00:41:06.920 But the comments are just amazing.

00:41:16.020 I put stuff up, and I'm a moron, so it should be easy for you because you're not a moron.
00:41:22.600 Steve Cortez.
00:41:23.640 And look, reasonable men can disagree.
00:41:28.060 I love you like a brother.
00:41:29.460 And like a brother, sometimes brothers disagree.
00:41:31.540 We disagreed on how this was going to play last week.
00:41:34.300 But you did enjoy, and I think you were a big supporter of the fact, that MAGA threw down hard.
00:41:38.900 This is what I want to say about all the – and Cortez is one of these guys.
00:41:42.980 All conservative, Inc. media should be ashamed of themselves, quite frankly.
00:41:46.600 None of this would have happened unless you had that fight last week, and that's great for democracy.
00:41:51.060 It was riveting TV.
00:41:52.840 It's riveting TV, and I'd like to have the House – what I'd like to have this year is the House come together for the big topics,
00:41:57.900 for the Ukraine debate, for the debate on the invasion of the southern border.
00:42:01.820 We want to hear from the Democrats.
00:42:03.240 I think it would be mesmerizing TV.
00:42:05.260 You get all these Democratic congressmen, the Republicans.
00:42:07.580 You're fighting about the biggest issues facing the country, and a little bit comes across – it's not a parliamentary system,
00:42:13.200 but at least we get the flavor of the House of Commons, which is so intense.
00:42:17.800 And you'll see people sharpening their arguments when they know the nation is watching.
00:42:21.220 I'm telling you, you put that in prime time, it will blow all the shows away.
00:42:24.460 It's just so gripping.
00:42:25.520 We were talking about the plumbing.
00:42:28.240 We were talking about the most arcane things you could possibly talk about.
00:42:32.260 Only the war room audience got it because they're steeped in this.
00:42:35.260 But for the general public, what are these guys talking about?
00:42:36.840 We thought this was an easy one.
00:42:38.380 Think about when you get to the meat of substance.
00:42:40.460 Think about when you talk about Ukraine.
00:42:41.640 Think about when you talk about the Chinese Communist Party.
00:42:43.200 Think about when you talk to the southern border, the Federal Reserve, the debt ceiling.
00:42:47.000 Boom.
00:42:47.800 The smart guys, the smart money knows this is the biggest issues facing us, and that's why we're populist.
00:42:53.140 We like to have it all out there, and I want to hear the Democratic voice.
00:42:56.200 I think you're going to hear the Democrats today on the rules package.
00:42:59.260 I think they're going to come in hot.
00:43:00.700 And by the way, the majority of the Democratic Party, I think we're going to support, hey, we can't have defense cuts because they're all bought by the, except for the anti-war wing, they're all bought by the defense industry.
00:43:10.820 Cortez, your thoughts?
00:43:12.260 Yeah, listen.
00:43:12.600 Listen, I thought that it was a wonderful week for our republic, a great week for the U.S. Congress last week.
00:43:18.100 You know, we haven't seen the House act like that in that kind of principled manner, impassioned manner, probably since the 1990s, since the earliest days of the contract with America.
00:43:27.280 So we had a lot of patriots who were arguing passionately on principle and came to, I think, a far better place with a far better rules proposal, assuming it passes today, far better than we had previously.
00:43:39.080 So I think all sides on the Republican side should be congratulated.
00:43:42.640 Now, that said, we also need to realize that within the Republican caucus, even on the House side, there are some House members like Gonzalez, unfortunately, who you played this morning, who are a lot like Mitch McConnell is on the Senate side.
00:43:54.720 What I mean by that is that he is firmly a member.
00:43:57.200 Gonzalez is firmly a member of the Washington Uniparty.
00:44:00.620 He is firmly under the thumb of firms like the defense contractors in favor of a globalist vision that is far more in line with the Democrats than it is Republicans.
00:44:09.300 So there is still a lot of work to be done.
00:44:12.100 But I'm really optimistic this House and particularly this news about Jim Jordan, that this House is going to get real work done.
00:44:19.400 Jim Jordan in charge of that select committee is so necessary to have a modern day Frank Church committee to investigate and hold accountable this parallel government.
00:44:30.560 We have a parallel government right now, the Intelligence Committee of the United States, that is operating, that is almost totally unaccountable, certainly unelected, not chosen by the American people.
00:44:39.300 And wields enormous power, often in conjunction with big tech, big business, corporate media.
00:44:45.740 All of that needs to be thoroughly investigated.
00:44:48.180 Jim Jordan is the perfect person to get to the bottom of it.
00:44:52.420 Let's play.
00:44:53.520 Absolutely.
00:44:54.000 We're going to spend so much time on this, but let's get to I want to play his chalk talk right now.
00:44:57.460 Talk about your personal finances audience.
00:44:59.400 Here we go.
00:45:00.940 Patriots, sky high inflation and rising interest rates.
00:45:04.420 They are crushing working class Americans right now. 1.00
00:45:07.540 Most of the blame properly belongs with the White House and Joe Biden, but a lot of it also belongs to the Republicans, particularly in the Senate, collaborationists like Mitch McConnell and Tom Cotton, who helped pass the omnibus monstrosity, which is only going to make this situation worse.
00:45:22.280 Now, let's get to the numbers in a chalk talk.
00:45:24.600 New data out from the Census Bureau shows that over one third of Americans are using dangerous high interest credit card debt to pay for the necessities of life for the basics.
00:45:35.400 Last spring, that number was only 21 percent.
00:45:38.500 So it has risen by two thirds in just a matter of months.
00:45:41.960 Here's why this is so dangerous.
00:45:43.520 The interest rate on credit cards right now above 19 percent, the highest in almost 40 years.
00:45:49.480 So if you have an average balance in America, which is unfortunately $5,000 and you're only making minimum payments, it's going to take you over 15 years to pay off that balance with a total interest cost of over $6,500.
00:46:03.200 Patriots, fixing this mess is a primary task of the incoming House GOP.
00:46:10.860 Let's do it.
00:46:12.420 This this was the fight.
00:46:14.140 And this is why you had to get the balanced budget in there, the balanced budget plan from Russ Vogt.
00:46:18.800 This is the fight on debt ceiling.
00:46:20.040 Ladies, these are all ladies and gentlemen, they're interconnected.
00:46:22.840 But take it back to people's lives.
00:46:24.880 This is where it manifests itself into everyday Americans live.
00:46:28.740 Steve Cortez.
00:46:29.500 No, Steve, listen, kitchen table tangible issues.
00:46:33.080 This is where the rubber meets the road.
00:46:34.360 OK, and it's understandable that a lot of media, even good media, has been very distracted between the election into these fights over the speakership.
00:46:42.260 Let's remember the economic reality that is faced by working class Americans.
00:46:46.400 And they are only getting by via credit card debt right now, Steve.
00:46:50.140 And not for luxuries, not for discretionary items, credit card debt for the essentials of life.
00:46:56.000 The fact that more than one third of Americans are using credit card debt to pay for the basics with credit card debt at an almost 40 year high interest rate.
00:47:04.180 This is a toxic combination.
00:47:06.820 It's incredibly dangerous for our country.
00:47:09.480 This inflation must be brought under control.
00:47:11.200 This is where the House GOP can start to fight back fiercely against what Biden has done to this country.
00:47:18.380 The created crisis of the economic calamity that he has wrought upon this country is crushing working class people. 0.61
00:47:24.960 We need the House GOP.
00:47:26.300 We need Speaker McCarthy to be strong, the whole caucus to be strong and hold the line on spending to get inflation under control.
00:47:33.880 The death ceiling of spending are going to be battles that are titanic.
00:47:37.820 And we're not going to wait to the summer.
00:47:38.880 We've got a whole plan on that, but we'll talk about it.
00:47:40.820 Short break.
00:47:42.120 We're going to talk about the real crisis in sovereignty.
00:47:44.260 That's in our southern border.
00:47:45.360 The war, the cartel's already at war down there.
00:47:48.100 Biden goes down for a goof.
00:47:50.660 But Admiral Kirby gives it away.
00:47:53.460 You, the American people, you, the American people, have an obligation to increase legal pathways for illegal aliens and get them in here quicker.
00:48:02.300 You have an obligation, according to Admiral Kirby.
00:48:06.000 Cortez, Todd Benzman.
00:48:07.300 We've got Natalie Winters on the investigations.
00:48:09.620 Zirkle and Terman are going to come back on Brazil.
00:48:12.060 And we've got Ben Harnwell live from the Vatican, bottom of the hour.
