this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going to
00:00:09.680
medieval on these people you're just not got a free shot all these networks lying about the
00:00:15.920
people the people have had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try
00:00:20.240
to do everything in the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen
00:00:23.440
and where do people like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any
00:00:31.360
of these people had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that
00:00:38.240
answer is to save my country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k bat
00:00:47.040
uh but listening and reading through some of the details of the story and looking at the
00:00:56.080
history of it it turns out this happens from time to time there are balloons floating around
00:01:01.520
looking down on the united states sometimes from china specifically and also that it was within
00:01:07.280
range of being shot down but the defense department made a decision not to do that can you explain a
00:01:12.800
little bit how often this happens and where the balloon may be now so we know of at least two
00:01:18.400
other times this has happened in the past and it's not just during the biden administrations it's
00:01:22.080
happened during past administrations as well the difference about this one that has caused officials
00:01:26.640
more concern is that the balloon in past cases uh these these aerial surveillance assets will
00:01:33.120
come near the u.s or maybe go into the u.s for a short time and then they leave again this one has
00:01:37.280
been come it flew as you you could see from that map there from the aleutians down through canada
00:01:41.760
into montana and it's been hovering in the united states now for several days that's what has u.s
00:01:47.360
officials more concerned about it and and then you know you mentioned it was in montana that's not
00:01:52.800
too far from malmstrom air force base which is where the u.s has intercontinental ballistic missiles it's
00:01:58.240
one of the the u.s's you know strategic ballistic missile sites in the united states now as far as we
00:02:04.800
know it was never closer than about 200 miles but the the balloon is still flying over the continental
00:02:11.360
u.s and officials are not telling us where it is at this point so uh that's one of the things now
00:02:16.480
you mentioned also the potential for it to be shot down this raised a level of concern that on wednesday
00:02:23.120
secretary of defense lloyd austin who was traveling in manila at the time convened a meeting with his
00:02:27.760
senior defense leaders that included chairman of the joint chiefs general mark milley the head of
00:02:31.520
north com norad general glenn glenn van hirk so austin called them all together for a meeting it was
00:02:36.480
the middle of the night in the philippines and they talked about the potential track for this thing
00:02:41.200
where it was coming from where it was going the potential collection the intelligence collection
00:02:45.760
capabilities which they believe to be somewhat minimal they don't think that this can collect
00:02:50.560
very much and they even brought in some aircraft including awax their surveillance aircraft and f-22
00:02:57.200
fighter jets with the potential to bring this thing down they scrambled these aircraft to both look at
00:03:03.120
it and the potential to shoot it down now ultimately they decided that given the fact that it didn't
00:03:07.920
have a ton of collection capability and they looked at the potential for taking it down and the debris
00:03:12.720
field that that would create on the ground they made a recommendation to president biden not to shoot
00:03:17.360
it down but to continue to to monitor and track it and that's where they landed president biden agreed with
00:03:22.400
that decision and according to a senior defense official who i spoke with yesterday they're literally
00:03:27.200
monitoring this on a minute by minute basis and they are maintaining the the both the ability and
00:03:32.880
the the decision making space to vent to take it down if need be it's friday three february the year
00:03:40.160
of our lord 2023 in beijing they are belly laughing they're mocking us right here the uh a headline in
00:03:46.320
today's financial times of london right we always go to the economist in the financial times for the real news
00:03:51.280
uh blinking to meet xi during landmark china visit in sign of thawing relations that didn't age very
00:03:58.240
well did it we've asked congressman matt gates who's one of the smartest people i know on national
00:04:03.520
security and armed services to join us here we've got a lot to go through today uh congressman gates
00:04:08.240
give us your assessment of of this uh situation over the skies of the great state of montana
00:04:14.480
well this is the consequence of a totally predictable foreign policy right they see
00:04:20.960
blinken and biden as paint by numbers strategists not even strategists this would have never happened
00:04:28.480
under president trump because you like you like the unpredictability of course because they would
00:04:33.920
not have known what would have been the consequences an additional 1500 torpedoes might have showed up in
00:04:38.080
japan the next day if they did this you know or you shoot down some over mainland china not over montana
00:04:43.360
yeah yeah i think that that uh really gave trump an ability to reign over an era of peace in in the
00:04:51.920
world and and now we see the the negative consequences this is obviously a result or a direct i think reaction
00:04:58.400
to the basing decision in the philippines which is very important uh you have to also think that china
00:05:05.520
may be trying to bait the united states into disputes over appropriate rights in the air because we would
00:05:13.040
say look we shoot this thing down it was over our airspace then does that give some sort of pretext
00:05:18.800
for china to take some for the geosynchronized uh satellites we have maybe over that part of the
00:05:24.960
world well not just that but there are sorties that are being flown you know very frequently by our
00:05:30.240
allies by our service members in the south china sea over areas that china is claiming their jurisdiction
00:05:37.120
and so if you create this sort of jurisdictional pretext um you could see things escalate there
00:05:42.480
very quickly you're you're saying is what you're saying that this is more political information
00:05:48.880
warfare that part of unrestricted warfare they do versus actually the national security if we knew
00:05:54.480
that this balloon was getting information from our sensitive icbm sites and transmitting it back to china
00:06:01.680
and we did not shoot it down that would be the dumbest in a series of dumb decisions from the
00:06:07.280
secretary of defense and from this president that we have possibly seen there is also a possibility
00:06:13.600
that this balloon has very little value militarily to china and it is there as a as a signal and maybe
00:06:20.560
they're hoping that we go capture it and then you know what they would be able to observe what our
00:06:24.960
capture technology is something that would be very helpful to them as they were making a move on taiwan
00:06:30.720
or planning to make a move on taiwan right what if they're trying to see in this type of a
00:06:34.880
circumstance what what type of munitions we would use would we go surface to air would we go air to
00:06:39.760
air right what type of what type of squadron would we have activated for this type of a mission then
00:06:44.960
they get to observe all of that in the event of a taiwan invasion so if this thing is just some dumb
00:06:49.920
balloon floating over there then i think we have a different series of options than if it is actually
00:06:55.920
transmitting information back and trust me we know whether or not that balloon is transmitting
00:07:01.360
sigint back to beijing and if it is it should have been shot down long ago but if it isn't let's not
00:07:06.880
just have the impulse that because it's over sensitive areas and it's a chinese balloon that our that every
00:07:14.720
option would advance our strategic goals i i think that the reaction here should be more to torpedoes in
00:07:21.120
theater we know from all the war games that we that we have observed commercially and otherwise that
00:07:28.400
torpedoes in theater is actually what changes a lot of the deterrence calculus mean torpedoes we're
00:07:34.640
talking about uh um a fast attack submarines navy destroyers up with torpedoes in the east china
00:07:40.800
sea in the south china sea and then in the taiwans i mean straight to taiwan for the state of taiwan let
00:07:46.080
me go back for a second what you just laid out is a highly sophisticated you know we're going to move
00:07:51.200
three it's four dimension chests right in that part of the world in correct quite frankly because the
00:07:57.680
cease chinese communist party with one belt one road and clearly underwriting uh the kgb in russia with
00:08:03.520
russia in turkey in iran in pakistan and our former allies in uh saudi arabia that are working with
00:08:09.840
them on to get off the us dollar uh and of north korea that that group that they have now in some of
00:08:15.920
the stands to consolidate the eurasian landmass right and now throw in brazil is that subtlety
00:08:22.480
lost in that part of the world where you maybe it's not bad to do smash mouth you come over our territory
00:08:27.200
you get shot down we have the balloon and we hold it up and say this is we're we're back and we're going
00:08:32.480
to be on offense we're not we're not going to be in our back foot in the straits of taiwan where
00:08:36.560
and particularly this uh foreshadows a naval and air blockade not an amphibious assault a naval and
00:08:43.040
air blockade at taiwan you're showing you're on the trigger and on offense how would you shoot it down
00:08:48.320
i would i think you got a couple opportunities number one uh jets number two maybe surface there
00:08:53.600
i realize it's pretty high with 150 000 150 000 but i think you have to go but then but then right you're
00:08:59.120
then they're forcing you into a choice yes that you're then making yes and then they're observing
00:09:03.760
that decision calculus yes and and and and what you're saying about that and you know one one thing
00:09:08.560
i try to do in conflict and a strategy is to be in the fights that i pick yeah not the fight that my
00:09:14.880
adversary picks right and so if you're doing that and and you're engaging in this sort of you know let's
00:09:20.160
assume just hypothetically we don't know this that it's a dumb balloon that it's not let's assume it's
00:09:24.960
a dumb balloon but you say there is there is signal value back to wave around their their dumb balloon
00:09:30.320
as sort of a show india right now the big the big concern is given how we've botched this ukraine
00:09:36.080
situation and with munitions people are not taking us seriously about when the general talks about
00:09:42.160
three years for war they're not taking seriously in the south china sea in the straits of taiwan so
00:09:46.080
the philippines was such a brave bold move that shows you how desperate the philippines have been kind
00:09:50.640
of an anti-american you know government for so many years is now scared about this but that those
00:09:55.520
people need to see leadership and they need to see leadership not the negotiating table they need to
00:09:59.680
see leadership is shooting something down yeah i mean in it you know but the the way i think to show
00:10:05.760
that message to india to anyone else is to go increase our actual basing in theater and our actual
00:10:11.280
capabilities instead of playing a signal game back and forth with beijing uh perhaps it would be a
00:10:16.800
stronger response to say all right well it's not going to be four new bases it's going to be 12
00:10:22.240
new bases i i think i would agree with you and if it wasn't for and if you if because they've had
00:10:27.360
this for a while if you had done this over the illusions if you've done it over alaska but now with three
00:10:31.840
days over the icbm of of northern montana and i think everybody should understand just like every
00:10:38.400
town's a border town and every city's a border city you're in this fight on nuclear weapons everything
00:10:43.920
i mean north dakota south dakota montana boom that's what and you you guys will be incinerated
00:10:50.320
you know 60 seconds before dc in a in a thermonuclear war so that's why everybody is in
00:10:55.840
this fight i think the thing that they're in our face is how many days they've put it over the air
00:11:00.720
force base in montana well our own military our own military is not uh entirely proficient in every
00:11:07.360
circumstance in balloon world in 2015 our own army tried to test balloon technology and it ripped
00:11:13.680
through the state of pennsylvania living leaving a number of people without power so these balloons
00:11:18.560
don't always go where you want them to and you may have had a circumstance where this thing was
00:11:22.640
supposed to have kind of a uh symbolic glancing pass by and and circumstances change let's go back
00:11:29.520
over to the the powers that be you're obviously one of the leaders of the america first movement
00:11:34.160
uh your leader obviously in the in the trump movement but particularly in national security which
00:11:38.320
is your specialty we're gonna have uh congressman matt rosendale on the saturday show to go to go
00:11:44.240
through his thoughts what is the take rosendale's probably shooting at it right now no he gotta get
00:11:48.480
a 20 he's got that pump action there they're ready to go i don't know why the governor hasn't launched
00:11:53.440
an air national guard what is the sense on the hill right now of the smartest brains we have on our
00:11:58.880
side of the football of how this should be handled yeah i was in a meeting yesterday with uh mike
00:12:03.280
gallagher who's going to be sharing our uh... you know special committee directed at competition
00:12:09.280
with china select committee and and he believes that we we right now are in the window where china
00:12:16.000
could make a move on taiwan at any moment uh... that we are we are in kinetic kill a kinetic a kinetic
00:12:21.520
right now and that we have to be enhancing our focus on cyber on electronic warfare uh... on various air
00:12:29.760
defense systems and we also have to look at how china might might bring others into a conflict like
00:12:36.560
that japan i want to refer back because although i think gallagher is not quite as anti-ccp as maybe
00:12:44.160
the war room but i have a lot of respect for him um that is totally different and that's why it was so
00:12:49.920
great you coming in today of the headline the financial times they talk about blinking going to the
00:12:54.080
kowtow after he's been beat up in alaska they've been jett sullivan was beat up and humiliated in rome
00:12:59.360
we're going back for a third helping of this and there's talking about thawing relations so how can
00:13:03.680
two very smart young men like a mike gallagher former marine corps officer and one of our top
00:13:10.320
thinkers on america first say hey we could be in the window of kinetic war they're already engaged in
00:13:15.280
unrestricted warfare what that is a chasm right there walk us through that chasm we've got about
00:13:20.800
a minute obviously here for the first hour walk me through that chasm well i mean we are we are
00:13:26.160
assessing the number of sorties that china is flying over taiwan we are assessing the kinetic
00:13:31.200
capabilities rise and you know there is this thought with blinken and biden that integrated
00:13:38.800
deterrence will somehow prevail on xi to not make this move and when you hear integrated deterrence
00:13:46.000
being defined as we sort of think of it as woke deterrence it's like well we can't necessarily
00:13:51.760
deter them with all of our air land you know sea capabilities but we're deterring them with our
00:13:57.600
you know economic prowess or you know our sense of social justice that everyone in the world just
00:14:02.560
wants to be are they serious about that absolutely that that so that's that's how there is i think
00:14:08.160
uh a real a real divergence in assessing the circumstance that we are in gallagher and i think that
00:14:15.440
we could be literally in the kill zone okay um so you think real quickly the the 2025 uh general
00:14:22.240
millihan his 2025 is the outside window of this you think right now we're edging up to the kill zone
00:14:27.680
at the beginning of potential a kinetic war absolutely and that's why we have to catch the signal not the
00:14:33.680
noise and i'm not entirely sure that this balloon floating around isn't noise what we're doing to
00:14:38.400
enhance our basing our stockpiles that's the real signal okay uh congressman matt gates one of the
00:14:44.080
the leaders of the america first movement is with us for the first hour we're going to turn after a
00:14:49.040
short commercial break a lot of people complain about the state of our country are the way woke
00:15:03.120
corporations treat us and their employees but it's not enough to complain we need to change the way the

mission ticket that gets you into the studio we're going to do the same studio we did at turning point the
00:16:45.120
same studio we did at cpac dallas remember one of our co-hosts at turning point was a congressman
00:16:51.200
matt gates so we look forward to seeing you at cpac when everybody show up march 1st through 4th we're
00:16:55.360
going to have tons of war room activities this is going to be like a war room uh festival so just
00:17:00.400
like we did turning point just like we did cpac dallas want everybody to turn out cpac.org
00:17:04.880
slash worm 47 wasn't that where i mean all the all the initial news was made about the speakers race
00:17:10.480
the 100 percent if i recall you laid out you laid out a pretty good strategy
00:17:15.440
actually gates gates that was a called shot from i think july of 2022 the entire thing and one day
00:17:22.640
we'll be able to tell that story matt gates actually nailed the exact number that that the the exact
00:17:28.800
number that the majority is going to be this is in july right here in this building the number he
00:17:34.560
actually said and talked about tiktok and how they were actually going to not we weren't going to get to
00:17:39.280
the 35 or 40 seats they'd be close races but we'd lose right how it's going to be the republican
00:17:43.600
establishment that did that the entire thing and then the entire strategy and this is one of the
00:17:47.520
things when you were on hannity that night when sean said hey matt i have no problem after dumping
00:17:53.520
on you for four days i have no problem with what you're doing this is the friday night before the
00:17:57.360
big before the big event the throwdown i have no but all i want you to do is do it behind closed doors
00:18:03.600
they don't realize what you and that team have been doing behind closed doors and i think it's for the
00:18:08.160
better i think and russ vote came on here and russ was you got to remove mccarthy's head of the
00:18:14.320
cartel you know the gates strategy is right and russ came on here and says i think you see the potential
00:18:19.600
for a guy to be a great speaker of the house on this path right and and so i think it was a net
00:18:25.440
positive yeah my my hope is that we front-loaded the pain you know that by doing this out in the open
00:18:31.520
by doing it for the first week we basically front-loaded the pain and now there's a sense of
00:18:37.520
how we have to proceed forward and i think we've seen i think we've seen the best version of kevin
00:18:42.160
mccarthy 100 i think kevin mccarthy now is on the on the balls of his uh feet leaning forward into
00:18:49.920
this fight and uh i'm real proud to work with him mitch mcconnell is giving a lot of head room
00:18:55.040
on the death scene we'll get to a second but i want to go back because people i think don't
00:18:58.400
appreciate the fact of uh how on national security how how well you've thought this through give it
00:19:04.080
to so this morning on on cnn in morning morning mico we could play this they're in total panic
00:19:09.440
mode so last week we had you had to get battle tanks and as you know tanks are just not another
00:19:15.040
weapons platform it's another type of warfare and then we were told the tanks because we were going to
00:19:19.760
give up bakhmut and we're going to pivot and go liberate crimea right before we liberate eastern
00:19:24.480
uh ukraine then we had to have ft the 16th fight in fact lockheed was nice enough to tell the financial
00:19:29.520
times hey we're going to start a production run right now well you don't need a purchase order
00:19:33.120
because we know you guys are going to get them man if they could have figured out a way to get the
00:19:35.840
f-16s to the afghans they totally 100 percent so then all of a sudden the the the defense minister
00:19:43.040
comes out the other one biden says no in the f-16s defense minister now we have 500 000 russian troops
00:19:48.080
on the border and they're going to get a winter offensive and kiev's going to fall and the whole
00:19:51.520
thing's over unless there's a massive build up in the sub-headline of cnn this morning i think if
00:19:55.760
denver put it up would be appreciated the sub-headline is that we need a new massive program immediately
00:20:01.520
so i want you to pull back the camera from an america first perspective and compare and contrast
00:20:06.000
what's happening ukraine to the vital national security interests of the defense of taiwan sir
00:20:11.680
well i mean it's it's not comparable we do not have an interest in continuing to spend money
00:20:18.800
in ukraine and when we look at what's going on in southeast asia it literally could dictate the
00:20:25.200
future of the world and a major power node of of information and warfare and supply chain and so it's
00:20:33.840
just a very i mean is that you know what you know here's the simplest way i could put it go look at
00:20:38.160
anything in your house and tell me how many things say that they're made in russia or ukraine and then
00:20:43.280
go look at everything in your house and see how much that's made in uh in in you know china or or
00:20:48.160
taiwan okay that statement right there is the most declarative statement i've heard from anybody that's
00:20:53.200
an elected official up there do people up there understand boris johnson was just here for three
00:20:58.320
days and he's now going back he's telling me he's in shock about how there's a thinking that maybe
00:21:02.640
ukraine's not in the vital national security interest of the united states he's sitting there you got to
00:21:06.240
give him everything you need including f-35s is there is that thinking the jews just laid out
00:21:12.160
is that starting to permeate into the thinking of our side of the football well i mean make no mistake
00:21:18.640
in congress there is broad bipartisan support to send almost anything that shoots to ukraine uh when we
00:21:26.480
began our opposition to u.s involvement in this war there were three of us marjorie taylor green thomas
00:21:31.520
massey and matt gates and you know as it this has gone forward there are now just under 70 republicans
00:21:39.600
who vote against these continued u.s advancements into this conflict zone and i think that under the
00:21:47.360
war powers act the biden administration should actually have to come to congress and explain what
00:21:53.280
the end game is here because what you just described is grisly and deadly and catastrophic
00:21:59.360
and would be just a horrible thing to have happen in the world today uh the carnage would be catastrophic
00:22:06.480
so i'm for peace i don't believe that continuing to send m1 abrams tanks or to even contemplate f-16s
00:22:13.920
advances the cause of peace i think that will make this conflict longer and bloodier and i do think
00:22:20.320
cravenly that there probably are some defense contractors that need there to be a war going
00:22:26.320
on somewhere that the u.s is sending arms to and whether it's arms that ultimately end up in the
00:22:30.880
hands of the taliban or the azov battalion or the ukrainians or sold on the black market to lord knows
00:22:38.000
who um they need to continue to book that new business and i don't think that should drive the
00:22:45.200
foreign policy decisions that we make i think our nation's interests should drive that and being
00:22:50.640
in world war three with a nuclear power is not in our interest i can't even believe i have to say that
00:22:56.160
out loud but but but but the people who watch this show should know that there is no geography in america
00:23:03.520
where this war is more popular than in the two zero two area code here in washington dc this is what i
00:23:09.040
don't think people appreciate but you you come from one of the most patriotic uh congressional
00:23:13.920
districts in the nation right pensacola naval air station the navy base there um and you win
00:23:19.200
overwhelmingly and you win with no taking no defense contractor pack money right i take no pack money
00:23:24.720
from anybody anybody but you specifically i mean the the defense contractors when a guy like you would
00:23:29.200
normally be top of the list right when you come from those type of uh areas tell that why what doesn't
00:23:34.960
the republican party get about that that would that we're going down a path of total if you try to
00:23:41.120
to liberate ukraine you're going to have tactical nuclear weapons what's the probability that the
00:23:46.800
ukrainian army with uh f-16s and american uh tanks could liberate crimea sir well i mean i i'm not
00:23:54.320
i'm not going to get into that level of of intelligence and review uh but we can't bring the notion the notion
00:24:02.080
that it is in our interest to go and you know decide what guy in a tracksuit gets to run crimea
00:24:08.640
is laughable it is absurd and and the fact that we would risk world war three over this is so
00:24:16.480
irresponsible i mean we have to make serious decisions and to go you know putz around in ukraine
00:24:22.240
over the donbass region or crimea and to have that be the possibility that we literally melt the globe
00:24:27.840
uh with with with nuclear fallout absolutely not and like putin is is a very dangerous person
00:24:37.920
with the ability to wreak far more havoc on the world and i do not want to see that happen and i
00:24:44.800
think we have to be very serious about this and i i worry we are sleepwalking into this war and we're
00:24:50.480
sleepwalking the american people into it and i believe that uh we ought to have a war powers resolution
00:24:57.040
before the congress and the biden administration ought to explain the end i want to get to the
00:25:00.800
war powers but i want you to talk about the mentality in this city why is it in the imperial they want
00:25:05.920
to wrap themselves in the flag it's just the ukrainian flag why it why is that well i i sense that
00:25:13.280
these are not dumb people they're not dumb they're not dumb they they uh fashion themselves as great
00:25:18.640
world leaders and there is this kind of narrative appeal to oh if we you know block the russians we
00:25:25.120
seem tough and we're this strident force to the world but the reality is far different if what
00:25:31.040
we're contributing to is deadlier war and war that extends for a longer period of time that's what
00:25:36.880
really diminishes america's value is when i mean whoa do we think that our our involvement in the
00:25:42.800
iraq war in the afghanistan war for as long as it was for as costly as it was and for as bloody as it
00:25:47.840
was made us more of a of a symbol of hope and truth in the arab world do we does anyone really think
00:25:53.760
that now and so you know quite possibly we could see a similar outcome in europe and ukraine if
00:26:00.160
if we're deemed as as meddling and extending the carnage as a tutorial because one of the things we
00:26:07.200
do here is try to get people the nomenclature and the concepts and the structure of process
00:26:11.440
what is the war powers what's the war powers act it's quite controversial about the constitutionality
00:26:16.400
what's the war powers act and then why is it important in this kind we have two minutes and
00:26:20.320
you're clearly here for the after the break too but just walk people through what we're talking
00:26:23.840
about we call it look declaring war in the constitution is vested in article one with
00:26:30.480
the united states congress and because for generations in politics congressmen and women
00:26:36.240
don't want to take those tough votes they don't want to be on record for or against involvement in
00:26:40.880
this and so they have ceded that power to the executive branch and this has happened under republican
00:26:45.520
and democrat congresses republican and democrat presidents and then you see like you saw with
00:26:50.240
obama in syria where 40 advisors turns into us being a referee in a syrian civil war you see in uh in
00:26:59.280
east africa where we continue to get kind of drug into these very regional disputes over things and in ukraine
00:27:07.040
right now these m1 abrams tanks they come with them very sophisticated supply chain requirements and very
00:27:14.000
sophisticated logistics kits and that has to have a human operation component we have advisors in ukraine
00:27:21.600
right now and because we do and because that is an area of hostility the congress can force a vote on
00:27:30.160
whether or not to recall those people to our country and and to diminish our involvement in this war
00:27:36.720
and i am very seriously reviewing a legislation that would call the administration to account on that
00:27:44.160
to bring them before the congress and say what is the plan here where are we going with this is it is
00:27:49.680
it m you know howitzers to m1 abrams to f-16s to f-35s what are we going to go you know give nuclear
00:27:56.320
weapons to ukraine next to have like you know a a deterrent structure against russia it's crazy and is it
00:28:02.800
is it to defend kiev or is it actually go liberate crimea okay short commercial break we're going to
00:28:07.360
be back we've got the weaponization of government we've got all the strategy on the investigative
00:28:11.280
committees the debt ceiling all of it congressman matt gates joins us for the entire first hour here in
00:28:16.960
the war and we'll be back in a moment we will fight till they're all gone we rejoice with the
00:28:23.600

00:30:00.000
presidential i think most presidential candidates will be the president trump's gonna give i think
00:30:03.680
the big speech on saturday to kind of wrap things up i think nikki haley's coming i think others other
00:30:08.400
invites out there are going to be announcing gates is going to be co-hosting war room breaking that
00:30:12.480
news right now from from from cpaq one day i'm kind of concerned about giving you too much co-host time
00:30:17.520
because it's like yeah i feel like wally pip to your luke it's it's a it's a very one thing that went
00:30:22.800
super viral was the santos interview is gates was you know not shy about telling me well you know it is a
00:30:28.960
co-host uh diminution to go from natalie winters to me so i uh no it's pretty impressive um just
00:30:36.240
real quickly tom massey's got the exclusive interview up in breitbart talking about what
00:30:39.920
he's thinking of doing this war powers thing whatever venue you you you guys just decide we
00:30:46.880
have to have biden come forward and put forward the plan we just can't continue to do this talk
00:30:51.200
it's so immature tanks now because you know tanks have a new type of warfare liberate crimea defend kiev
00:30:57.360
f-16s f-35s well you know you're going to hear the state of the union of uk but the union is going
00:31:04.320
to be ukraine's union not ours how are you guys going to respond to that oh i mean you saw how
00:31:09.040
i responded when zelinski showed up i thought that was quite powerful why did you sit when he when
00:31:13.200
the new church of the 21st century is there when i agreed with zelinski i was i was happy to stand
00:31:18.640
and applaud but i was not going to stand and applaud when he continued to assert that ukraine's future and
00:31:23.840
fate was directly tied to the future and fate of the united states i do not have that low of a view
00:31:29.040
of the united states to say that like where ukraine goes we go and it seemed like everyone else was
00:31:35.440
ready to adopt that paradigm and uh miss bobert and mr birchin and myself were not if you're if we're
00:31:41.280
tough enough just on audits alone no more weapons well i mean look you think it's a coincidence that
00:31:46.480
right as republicans take over the armed services committee and prepare for audits that there's zero
00:31:51.200
tolerance that he starts firing the people who are engaged in this corrupt conduct hold it first
00:31:55.280
off the interior minister that everything reports up to mysteriously dies in a helicopter accident
00:32:00.160
then he fires the ten guys closest to him because now he has zero tolerance zero tolerance yeah it
00:32:04.800
that's that's that's that's just a normal course of events that seemed to be a reaction more to
00:32:09.600
what was happening politically in our country than what was happening politically uh in eurasia i want
00:32:15.200
to go to uh we got the debt ceiling and then i got all the committees let's go to the debt ceiling
00:32:19.200
because i think mccarthy has really stood up here the first coming out of the white house the other
00:32:23.040
day i thought he was terrific about laying out the case about how important this is etc and he then
00:32:28.080
he came out yesterday after the thing saying oh they got a relationship they're talking he walks out
00:32:31.360
in front of the sticks in the capitol says hey i told him no clean debt ceiling right they're going
00:32:36.080
to be spending cuts kind of in your face which is about it totally cut the narrative of mfc and
00:32:41.360
cnn which is you got to come together it's going to be the end of the country yeah i think speaker
00:32:45.200
mccarthy did a good job in that meeting there let's acknowledge some facts though you know
00:32:50.320
republicans voted to raise the debt limit without preconditions during the trump administration i did
00:32:55.920
not i have never voted to raise the debt limit because i think when you max out your credit card
00:33:01.120
it's a pretty good time to start looking at your spending habits and we never seem to do that and so
00:33:06.640
we have to refocus there and let's also remember in most circumstances when republicans pick a fight
00:33:14.240
over the debt limit the republicans lose so so let's examine why the debt limit fight for republicans
00:33:21.600
in 2011 you don't think the budget control act was at least a good start it wasn't great but good
00:33:26.400
start we kind of threw it out the window eventually because of afghanistan and iraq we had the side
00:33:30.720
pocket hundred billion dollars you had to keep feeding the war machine wasn't the concept of the
00:33:34.880
budget control at the first time cut cap and balance you know had some positive downward pressure but it
00:33:41.120
wasn't enduring and so you know i think that it when you're just looking at a negotiation over top
00:33:47.440
lines that is actually never enduring let me make that as as a premise argument i believe you have
00:33:53.760
to force policy changes those become more enduring yeah i mean uh you saw because it's not about waste and
00:33:59.760
fraud and abuse you got to have fundamental yeah i mean absurd that's just a talking point yes right
00:34:05.600
and there are there are there's about half a trillion dollars in clawbacks that we should do
00:34:09.840
and in just uh distributions of funds to states that we should not make because we're repealing the
00:34:15.840
covet emergency that should be a baseline but i just don't understand why we're a country that pays
00:34:21.040
people who could go to work not to and when i how big how big a deal is that look is that come
00:34:26.560
over that come away with it is that come away with the emergency measures coming off or is it deeper
00:34:30.880
oh considerably deeper because and by the way it pays you on both sides of the ledger right if you
00:34:36.320
impose work requirements on all means tested entitlement programs for working age people not for the
00:34:42.560
disabled not for uh seniors but for working age people it's a trillion dollars in savings during the
00:34:49.600
10-year budget window this is in medicaid and other this is in medicaid and in food stamps in food
00:34:54.800
stamps discretionary spending yeah those are the biggest the biggest chunks are from the obamacare medicaid
00:35:00.240
expansion to able-bodied adults and and to so social security and it's over 400 social security
00:35:06.640
and medicare are off the table but you're saying you're taking medicaid and other aspects of
00:35:10.480
the discretionary spending if it was if it was mac gates i i think that we do need reforms to social
00:35:15.120
security and medicare i understand politically enough people but that can come later that that
00:35:20.480
that's not going to happen now right medicaid you don't need to have by the way medicaid should not
00:35:23.760
be a sacred cow big time and so but it hasn't been you notice people don't talk about
00:35:27.680
medicaid the same way they're talking about social security right right so so with medicaid i think
00:35:33.120
there's a lot of meat on the bone for savings in snap uh you can get over 400 billion in savings
00:35:38.960
just by having work requirements and then there there's a lot of money to save if we just stopped
00:35:43.680
giving tax credits to illegal aliens like how about that as is something that could unite 222 republicans
00:35:50.160
if we pick those vectors and focus on them not only do you save money but you actually drive
00:35:56.160
growth on the other end because you have higher labor participation and you're able to get small
00:36:01.840
better business confidence when people go back to work you actually you actually become a more
00:36:06.640
productive the restaurants and the small business guys actually get some employees right well and the
00:36:11.520
essence of the trump boom was that it drove the productive sectors of the economy it wasn't just
00:36:16.800
numbers moving on a spreadsheet in wall street people that worked with their hands that wore their name
00:36:21.840
on their shirt actually did better as a consequence and if you drive labor participation you drive
00:36:27.120
business confidence investment confidence at the same time you're cutting federal spending which has
00:36:31.600
been a big driver of inflation that would be a bankable win look it's not all i would do it's not
00:36:36.720
all i would want but that is ground we could defend and joe biden says that he will negotiate about
00:36:41.360
nothing so let's make joe biden negotiate on behalf of the 32 year old living on the couch who could go to
00:36:47.840
work who isn't and you're paying for their health care their transportation their cell phone their
00:36:53.040
broadband let's get that person up and working and see how to unlock the potential of this country
00:36:58.000
to get away from the rhetoric of the left which is oh you already paid for it you know all this nonsense
00:37:02.240
you hear uh and also even on the right it's not focused the two things you're talking about if you
00:37:07.520
want to get real about avoiding a fiscal fiscal and financial crisis is it's got to be policy and
00:37:13.280
commitments you can't say waste fraud and abuse it's got to be policy and the top lines exactly
00:37:17.760
talking about you know my critique of sorry of cut cap and balance is when you explain it to the
00:37:22.800
american people you we've now reached such a magnitude of the numbers that almost becomes
00:37:28.160
incomprehensible on on just you know rolling back to certain levels of spending what you have to say is
00:37:34.160
there's a policy choice we have made a social choice we've made in this country to to pay people
00:37:39.440
to not work who could otherwise work and we have to eliminate that we have to reverse that choice
00:37:44.960
and i think that gets buy-in and you know what we should be able to get some democrats on that i
00:37:49.200
don't know if you can in 2023 because this is a democrat party that can't you know that a hundred
00:37:54.160
of them can't even vote against socialism this week when that matter was on the floor uh but but
00:37:59.040
you're saying spanbury you want to talk you want to talk about swing districts where that's tough to
00:38:02.800
defend about bill clinton did deals like this with newt gingrich well you know and then you're not
00:38:07.040
juxtaposing joe biden against extreme mega republicans which is probably us instead you're
00:38:12.880
juxtaposing joe biden against bill clinton why not use that strategic option um very powerful the federal
00:38:20.880
we have thirty one and a half trillion dollars face amount at treasury we also have nine and a half
00:38:25.600
trillion dollars over the federal reserve nobody talks about mercatus this is a great study normally
00:38:31.280
because of the game with it low is zero interest rates they've been kicking in about 50 billion to 100
00:38:35.600
billion every year to get the deficit down now with the uh inverted yield curve there's a trillion
00:38:40.800
dollar loss sitting over there is there isn't this the time for the masses and and to have their
00:38:46.560
back that somehow because the federal reserve is the funding mechanism of the administrative state
00:38:51.280
don't we have to put that on the table that remember and mercatus brings us up without any
00:38:56.240
congressional authorization whatsoever they have been they've gotten nine and a half trillion dollars in
00:39:01.760
their balance sheet and they including a trillion dollars they just threw out there during covid with
00:39:06.640
no authorization and now we're sitting on a trillion dollar loss that's also going to now include with
00:39:11.600
the interest rates we have to pay over a trillion dollars in interest isn't it time to bring that
00:39:16.400
part of the equation into this and say we've got to have a frank discussion about the money printing
00:39:21.200
situation well i mean let me tell you what probably few other republicans would say and massey would
00:39:27.840
would be among those who would agree with me there's no amount of downward pressure you can put
00:39:33.600
on authorized and appropriate government spending through congress that will solve this inflation
00:39:40.080
problem in the absence of reform to fed policy no no way to do it and so if if you do not uh work on
00:39:47.840
that fed policy as well there's only so far we can take economic recovery through the united states
00:39:52.640
congress and that's a that's a really scary thing to say in a republic that the the elected representatives of
00:39:57.280
the people uh aren't able to turn the levers on this economy the way this thing gets juice isn't
00:40:02.240
this by the way the way things happen is you've got to get it out there and you move the overton window
00:40:06.800
isn't now the time for the masses of the world the matt gates of the world since you're doing such a
00:40:11.280
great job on really explaining what america first is and why it's in our what is in our vital national
00:40:15.840
security interests and what is not because you got to make tough decisions you don't have easy decisions
00:40:20.880
the same thing this is a massive teaching moment the debt this debt limit fight is the fight we want
00:40:25.920
because you have an opportunity to make it a teaching moment for the american people about
00:40:29.120
how the system works and how they pay for everything that screws them it is it is a complicated argument
00:40:35.360
and it is a difficult argument to make during a shutdown right uh explaining the way that fed policy
00:40:42.240
juices inflation is a tough split screen with people who are going to a veteran cemetery and it's padlocked
00:40:50.400
believe we get do you believe right now the cash comes in there should be no sure there won't be a
00:40:54.960
default unless they choose a default because plenty of cash that's coming in that's why they have to
00:40:58.800
show us a model do you feel comfortable making any of these decisions put it forward where the where
00:41:03.440
the treasury department has not given us for exactly what the financial plan is we don't really have a
00:41:08.000
model russ vote does things other people do things but that's like in covet where the university of
00:41:12.560
washington or hong kong or southampton we're taking their numbers but fauci never has to come out and
00:41:17.280
actually no i mean look i mean we all know they're shooting from the hip right i mean
00:41:22.400
tell the american people that is that is that when you talk about treasury the most
00:41:26.560
a six trillion dollar a year government are they shooting from the hip or do you think they really
00:41:30.800
have a handle on just the cash flows receipts in cash out yeah i i think it's it's panic mode with
00:41:38.160
the way the american people are starting to get concerned about those drivers and that's why you
00:41:44.240
saw in the last announcement not a smaller rate hike than expected but then the forecast that like
00:41:50.080
this is not over right that it was almost like in the last announcement the beatings will continue
00:41:54.560
until morale improves right um where you have whether war powers or some sort of activity on ukraine
00:42:01.040
to bring this to the front with taiwan is how where do we see progress got about a minute on the
00:42:06.560
whole thing of the death ceiling what you just talked about about policy changes where when and where
00:42:11.440
do we expect to see that come forward well look we have work to do to create a center of gravity
00:42:16.240
within the republican conference that can unite 222 voices around a single vision and if we are
00:42:23.680
unable to do that the democrats will have a single voice which is clean that was just clean that's
00:42:30.000
easy to explain uh i think tough to defend in this in the medium and long term but easy to explain in
00:42:36.240
the short term and so we have to explain that when you max out your credit card it's a pretty good
00:42:41.200
time to evaluate your spending choices there are people that we are spending money on and we are not
00:42:47.680
helping them by spending that money on them and i think that if we did not do that and we explained
00:42:52.560
it to people it's familiar people see it in their neighborhoods get them get them off the couch
00:42:57.920
yes we got to get the zoomers off the couch zoomers off the couch um brilliant okay short commercial
00:43:03.040

00:45:40.560
okay welcome back we got congressman matt gates okay all these investigations there's a lot going on
00:45:45.920
one number one is anybody kind of coordinating all of it it looks like you've made a strategic decision to
00:45:50.080
start the morning after the day after the state of the union and particularly weaponization of
00:45:55.440
government which i know is one of your things you're most focused on yeah i think that there
00:45:59.760
are certain behaviors that we see common to the enterprise of government that are really troubling
00:46:05.120
to a lot of people i mean let me just give you a few examples list building i mean i don't even know
00:46:11.200
as a congressman how many different types of lists exist that presents derogatory information about
00:46:18.000
our fellow americans how people get on these lists what due process exists how being on a list like the
00:46:24.240
no-fly list even accidentally saying government not not some list made up by twitter or oh no we're
00:46:30.320
talking about this select subcommittees focus on the weaponization of government against our people
00:46:36.080
yes and you look at the at the unconstitutional list that the atf has developed right so so i think
00:46:41.680
that is something that i'm very interested in that i think would firmly be uh within the jurisdiction
00:46:47.600
you're not a fan of the atf committee no i i think it'll be franchised that as a uh as a like a
00:46:52.480
uh... like a chucky cheese i i i i i made comments on the floor that alcohol tobacco and firearms should
00:46:58.160
be a florida convenience store chain not uh... a government agency i would abolish the atf uh... and
00:47:04.640
and certainly given the way that they've abused rulemaking authority uh... surveillance is another
00:47:10.720
vector that i think you'll really see uh... how you would be surprised will people be shocked by
00:47:15.920
agencies that we show up it is shocking to me each and every day to learn some of this stuff i mean
00:47:21.360
people have probably won't be shocked at the national security states work to surveil people because
00:47:28.400
we've exposed a lot of that but even government entities like the post office have digital
00:47:34.560
surveillance teams that assess people's political conduct and when we asked them why they did that
00:47:41.280
the answer was well if there was a political protest somewhere it might disrupt the delivery of the mail
00:47:47.040
and so under that ludicrous pretext right you're literally being spied on from everybody from you
00:47:52.960
know the the highest level spy hunters on the planet earth to the post office and and so that's an
00:47:59.840
important vector as well and then just the way the regulatory state gets gets turned on people
00:48:07.200
and you've got armed irs agents you've got armed agents at the department of education
00:48:13.840
even and you wonder why that is necessary is like the future of this of this socialist tyrannical
00:48:20.320
state that they're going to teach you critical race theory you know at the end of an uzi let's hope
00:48:24.240
not uh... but uh... arming of government agencies is quite literally the weaponization of these
00:48:30.160
agencies and why we have so many armed irs agents and armed agents across the enterprise of government
00:48:35.360
is uh... also something i expect the subcommittee okay i call for this in the stage of cpac in 17 when
00:48:40.720
i was the mother president senior advisor deconstruct the administrative state it starts with this
00:48:44.720
weaponization they're just not going to sit there with jordan and you and stefanik and these other
00:48:49.760
hammers up there they're just not going to sit there go oh this is lovely we got called we're going
00:48:53.840
what is the fight actually to get to the real information expose it to the american people so
00:48:57.920
the big flaw in the trey gowdy strategy was don't take any depositions until you get all the documents
00:49:04.080
and in a traditional litigation context that would be the preferred path but we're on the shot clock
00:49:12.160
right now you know we have to assume we have two years to do this work and have a deliverable in
00:49:16.560
this congress and so while work may go beyond that we have to have a time calibration that is precise
00:49:23.680
and so we have already started taking depositions i was taking a deposition last week and while you
00:49:29.920
i want people i want people to understand let me lay out this already already does depositions being
00:49:34.160
taken we are yeah i was in a deposition taking one of a former senior uh you know fbi official last
00:49:40.320
week and while it can be very hard to get current officials it you often face less resistance when you
00:49:47.600
get someone who has rolled out of their you know fbi doj atf uh nsa job and now they're working in the
00:49:55.840
private sector because people with a big job in the private sector for a fortune 100 company or a
00:50:02.320
tech company they don't want to see their name in in the news as having defied a subpoena and so just
00:50:08.160
historically we've gotten greater participation from people who are no longer in the direct employ
00:50:12.880
of the government and a lot of them have a lot to say about their experiences there we would encourage
00:50:18.000
whistleblower i mean some of the best whistleblowers we've had they call our congressional
00:50:22.320
office and say look i'm i'm out of service with the government i've seen some things there that i i
00:50:28.640
was unable to change in the direct chain of command but i want to see them changed now and i want to
00:50:33.680
tell you what things happened that weren't in accordance with the law or our regulatory policies
00:50:38.560
and as those folks come forward we're here to investigate their claims to uh ensure that we can
00:50:44.960
corroborate with documents with other witnesses with evidence and then we want to tell the american
00:50:51.280
people uh the story and then have legislative prop work product you know i i think that one of the
00:50:58.080
consequences of the select subcommittee could be bills to sunset some of these agencies to eliminate
00:51:03.760
some of these authorities uh to de-weaponize and then you know what that becomes the big fight on the
00:51:08.960
upcoming appropriations bills and it and because of the what the work we did at the beginning of january
00:51:13.760
it's not going to be the fight on an omnibus each of these agencies is going to have to stand up
00:51:19.120
and they're going to have to defend their budgets and we're going to have the evidence from the
00:51:22.480
weaponization subcommittee to use to try to limit the harm to our people that's the convergence of
00:51:27.840
all these strategies that's brilliant by the way this will be the hill they die on this committee they
00:51:33.520
will fight this tooth and nail this will be this will be an epic fight they they've already put some
00:51:38.240
of their uh most talented members on the subcommittee as well uh dan goldman is a killer smart worked against
00:51:44.720
that guy in impeachment he's very capable he's very bright and uh he'll be there leading the defense
00:51:50.640
of the administrative state it seems this is going to be a big one how do people get to oh we got about
