this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on
00:00:11.700
these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people the people have
00:00:18.320
had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do everything
00:00:22.080
the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and where do people
00:00:25.660
like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of these people
00:00:33.480
had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer is to save my
00:00:41.420
country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k bann
00:00:48.580
i've come to honor the mccain institute and library because they are a home of a proud republican
00:00:58.820
who put his country first our commitment should be no less because democracy should unite all
00:01:05.520
americans regardless of political affiliation and there's something dangerous happening in america
00:01:10.780
now there's an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs in our democracy
00:01:16.060
the maga movement not every republican not even a majority republicans adhere to the magus extremist
00:01:22.980
ideology i know because i've been able to work with republicans my whole career but there's no
00:01:29.200
question that today's republican party is driven and intimidated by maga republican extremists
00:01:34.700
their extreme agenda have carried out with fundamentally all of the institutions of american
00:01:40.140
democracies we know we're pushing a notion the defeated former president expressed when he was
00:01:47.520
in office and believes applies only to him and this is a dangerous notion this president is above the
00:01:55.040
law no limits on power trump says the constitution gave him quote the right to do whatever he wants
00:02:09.620
not guided by the constitution or by comment service and decency toward our fellow americans
00:02:19.400
but by vengeance and vindictiveness just consider these as actual quotes from
00:02:26.080
maga the maga movement quote i am your retribution
00:02:30.340
slitting throats of civil service replacing them with extreme political cronies
00:02:37.060
maga extremists proclaim support for law enforcement only to say we quote we must destroy the fbi
00:02:45.460
it's not one person it's a controlling element of the house republican party
00:02:53.840
whitewash attacks of january 6th by calling the spearing and stomping of police a legit quote a
00:03:05.400
do you ever think you'd hear leaders of political parties in united states america speak like that
00:03:11.400
the accusations against of treason treason against the major new news network because they don't like
00:03:20.360
i don't know what the hell i'd say about fox if that becomes the rule
00:03:25.440
but think about it i'm joking but think about it
00:03:30.520
i have the honor of overseeing the chains of responsibilities of the chairman of the joint
00:03:35.800
chief of staff of the united states military from one genuine hero and patriot general mark milley
00:03:41.320
to another general cq brown both both defining leaders of our time
00:03:49.140
and yet here is what you hear from maga extremists
00:03:53.280
about the retiring patriot general honor and his oath to the constitution
00:04:01.360
in times gone by the punishment quote in times gone by the punishment would have been death
00:04:19.540
and although i don't believe even a majority of republicans think that
00:04:30.080
response to the warning from the president today
00:04:32.180
it's disqualifying uh for him to serve in public in any public office but of course
00:04:38.860
uh the voters decided otherwise uh eight years ago or seven years ago
00:04:43.460
uh it's you know we really are at an inflection point the interesting thing is this is going on all
00:04:48.380
over the country i mean all over the world there's a guy running for prime minister in slovakia
00:04:53.360
who is a huge usually corrupt quite possibly involved in the assassination of a reporter
00:04:58.780
who's now leading the polls he'll probably lose because there'll be a coalition that opposes him
00:05:06.620
are you going to be decent people who do the right thing
00:05:11.480
look i didn't agree with very much that george w bush did particularly the iraq war
00:05:17.200
and the enormous tax cuts for the wealthy but i like george bush personally as and i respected him
00:05:23.140
i respected john mccain enormously because of his service to the country
00:05:27.140
trump doesn't respect anybody precisely because he doesn't respect himself
00:05:32.080
and that is what he's selling to the american people he's selling anger he's selling fury but
00:05:37.760
he's not selling respect and he's not selling decency and this is a decision for the american people to make
00:05:43.240
i always say the voters are the boss and the boss may be wrong the boss may be
00:05:47.180
right but the boss is always the boss well we're going to find out what the boss really wants and
00:05:52.200
it is their choice and this is where i think biden is absolutely right their choice what kind of a
00:05:57.360
country we want to have but we will not get what we have back if we lose it this time major problem
00:06:03.960
and i mean that's the book the authoritarian book that the uh that trump is playing out of is
00:06:08.700
threaten people and uh threaten them with bodily harm threaten their families if uh if you don't get
00:06:15.000
your way it's the classic authoritarian ruler this guy first of all i grew up in new york trump cheated
00:06:21.240
and lied his way to whatever he has and he's about to get most of it taken away because he's probably
00:06:25.240
going to lose his new york business license in court uh in the next few weeks um this is a bad guy he
00:06:31.880
never should have gotten as far as he did he's really sort of an insufficient personality and a clown
00:06:36.380
but the fact of the matter is he's conning a lot of americans and the first people who are going
00:06:41.180
to suffer if he wins re-election are the people who are voting for him now and sending them their
00:06:45.800
hard-earned dollars he will turn on them because he doesn't give a damn about the only person donald
00:06:50.780
trump cares about is himself overthrowing our government and it has lead elements including
00:06:55.480
trump including folks like uh like like the former national security advisor mike flynn and the lead
00:07:00.920
soldier in this in congress is tommy tuberbill who is ridiculous radical reckless and racist and i've
00:07:06.940
called him senator redneck because that's what he is you want someone to lead this ridiculous
00:07:11.100
racist uh thing that undermines our national security tuberville's like me i'll be your guy
00:07:15.720
and he is now doing that he's got 10 minions who followed him to vote against cq brown and every
00:07:20.480
day it's something new that undermines our national security it hurts our troops it hurts our morale our
00:07:25.240
enemies are celebrating but vladimir putin loves this but there's also the political side of this
00:07:29.280
this is driving the gop further and further away from america and especially from independents like me
00:07:34.080
i've called this the confederate wing of the gop they don't want to preserve the military of 2023 they want
00:07:38.620
to create the confederate army they want to take us back to the 1800s they don't understand this
00:07:44.360
modern world and they're fighting it and we've got to fight back
00:07:47.160

the top these bills to show that hey we got 50 of the of the government funded right now on some of
00:08:59.880

00:09:13.960
there saying oh it passed 300 no no the key number and if we can get gates's uh we had gates's tweet up

00:10:15.180
over the country i've got uh sheriff mike lewis from wicomico wicomico county maryland talking about
00:10:21.960
what's happening i'll be speaking in about 30 minutes uh from the media side the the real news
00:10:26.100
media uh while you know the fake news media is pushing all the propaganda the reality of what's
00:10:30.700
actually happening down here to attack the sheriff tells every town's a border town this invasion of
00:10:37.940
the united states how can it be stopped that's what the people in the country want to know how do we stop
00:10:41.960
it well we all know what we need to stop it and that is for this administration to change their
00:10:49.420
current path and trajectory on this country uh what crosses this border today clearly is in my
00:10:55.420
county tomorrow uh we have seen an unprecedented number of overdoses due to fentanyl we've seen an
00:11:01.600
unprecedented number of criminal arrests involving illegal aliens just this past weekend uh in my county
00:11:08.440
uh we arrested a number of illegal aliens for criminal offenses not for being illegal in the
00:11:13.780
country because there's absolutely nothing we can do about that any longer but they were committing
00:11:17.960
all kinds of criminal violations including one who was traveling southbound and the northbound lanes
00:11:23.660
of u.s route 13 in wicomico county nearly striking a marked wicomico county sheriff's deputy head on at
00:11:30.600
2 a.m in the morning we finally got him stopped and he was over three times the legal limit to be
00:11:35.980
operating a motor vehicle um as as you well know most of the illegals are unlicensed they're uninsured
00:11:42.260
they are wreaking havoc in across this country but that's just one part of it it's the enormous
00:11:49.780
amounts of fentanyl that are now being seized across our country and in my community that are
00:11:54.900
contributing to a large amount of overdose deaths last year over 110 000 people alone died in our country
00:12:01.780
due to fentanyl and opioid overdoses an unprecedented number like we've never seen and we are down here
00:12:08.140
to learn and to assist our texas brothers and sisters in combating what we see as a man-made crisis
00:12:15.860
that started shortly after the swearing in of joe biden in washington dc and uh politics aside man
00:12:23.480
these people are suffering down here they are absolutely suffering down here and we're learning
00:12:28.580
just what they're facing every single day and how difficult it is to work when we have an unsecure
00:12:34.840
border and without a secure border we will never have homeland security until we have border security
00:12:42.280
sheriff how do people uh we've got to go to capitol hill right now how do people
00:12:48.280

00:13:07.800
this border today is in wicomico county maryland tomorrow and uh we cannot emphasize that enough
00:13:13.400
they travel all night long to get their illegal aliens and drugs into our communities and as you
00:13:19.320
well know crossing this border is not just the drugs not just the fact they're illegals but we have
00:13:23.320
convicted murderers freely traveling back and forth now because we have an open border it is wide open
00:13:29.160

00:13:53.080
this is the reality the reality is an invasion of the southern border along with you know we
00:14:00.200
we finally put the stop i think the kibosh unfundling this ridiculous amount of money they
00:14:05.640
want 80 billion dollars this year into ukraine so this fight is going to be quite intense kevin
00:14:10.840
mccarthy has just come to the sticks what we're going to do is take a short commercial break
00:14:14.920
get organized here we'll come back we'll have kevin carth kevin mccarthy i think he's going to lay
00:14:18.920
out today how he's going to roll out of cr but good news folks we did not get rolled last night
00:14:23.960
actually had tip to matt gates had tip to all the uh the magnificent six the 20 you came together you
00:14:29.640
got these big bills passed we don't totally love them but they're not too shabby a lot of woke out of
00:14:35.960
there some significant cuts not perfect but we live in an imperfect world but now it's hey it's not
00:14:42.840
maga that's slowing this thing down the cr is going to be up next also a hat tip to mtg she
00:14:49.560
stripped out the ukraine funding and made everybody come to the table the majority the majority last
00:14:55.480
night voted no no more ukraine funny back in a moment do you get the feeling that the unthinkable
00:15:02.040
is going to happen soon well i do but between the distractions and smoke screens in the media
00:15:08.600
we probably won't see it coming that's why it's smart to invest in emergency food right away as
00:15:15.000

00:16:22.040
take action action action appropriation bills i told you don't give up on us because we're not giving up on
00:16:30.600
the american people we passed three appropriation bills defense state and foreign ops and homeland
00:16:36.680
security my biggest question is i don't understand why the democrats voted against funding the government
00:16:45.080
in all we have four appropriation bills done there's 12 overall to get done
00:16:51.400
it's the discretionary spending every year the government is supposed to do we have now in the
00:16:57.000
house passed more than 70 percent of the discretionary spending on appropriations need i remind you how
00:17:05.080
much has the senate passed zero not one appropriation bill has passed the senate
00:17:15.400
we've done what many have said was impossible when i became speaker i said we're going to change washington
00:17:21.160
and we did that by keeping our commitment to restoring regular order bills that passed committee in
00:17:28.360
june and july have been open for amendments for months struggled with a number of members who
00:17:34.440
wouldn't allow it to become up but i never gave up 440 amendments were considered on the floor this week
00:17:43.000
and for those who are historians we are the first republican majority to pass the state and foreign
00:17:48.520
office bill through regular order since 2006. my entire political career as a member of congress
00:17:56.120
the republicans have never been able to do what they just did last night as we continue to get
00:18:01.080
conservative wins and return to regular order we actually need a stop gap measure to allow the house
00:18:07.720
to continue to finish its work to make sure our military gets paid to make sure our border agents get
00:18:13.560
paid as we finish the job that we're supposed to do another reason for the stop gap is to address
00:18:20.600
president biden's historic failure on the southern border this is how bad things have gotten under
00:18:28.440
president biden's watch in five days there's been more than 50 000 illegal border crossings
00:18:36.840
put that in perspective in just five days that's more than twice as much as the average for the entire
00:18:44.280
month in the last administration a wide open policy hurts america we've heard it from democrat leaders
00:18:55.880
across the country but despite the chaos the president still won't go to the border setting new records
00:19:03.640
every day fentanyl at an all-time high killing americans and he refuses to go to the border he's been
00:19:12.120
one time in 50 years one time in 50 years he's had more dinners with hunter biden business partners
00:19:22.920
than he has going to the border think about that for one minute something he said he's never done he's
00:19:30.520
done more than he's ever been to the border in 50 years as an elected official
00:19:39.000
he was less than 200 miles from the border this week in arizona less than 200 miles
00:19:45.960
and he couldn't even stop by for an 87 second photo op
00:19:52.600
really makes you believe that president biden is deliberately letting this happen and trying to
00:19:59.480
continue to continue to ignore it if biden won't visit the border why won't he at least listen to
00:20:05.960
the democratic leaders that are elected across this nation mayors of new york city says biden's border
00:20:12.920
policy will literally destroy the city of new york governor of new york says illegal immigrants should
00:20:20.040
go somewhere else the governor of massachusetts declared a state of emergency mayor of el paso says
00:20:29.880
the city is at a breaking point mayor of eagle pass texas says president biden has abandoned them
00:20:38.440
okay let me have it for a second i can't take any more of the this is and i want to thank this audience
00:20:45.480
for being the stalwarts the reason this got done last night had nothing to do with kevin mccarthy
00:20:49.320
kevin mccarthy worked against this process now that we got wins he wants to say you know i fought my
00:20:54.360
career and i staked my speakership he was forced to do this in january he didn't do it the the subcommittee
00:21:02.360
bills have been done action committee bills have been done since july he didn't have any days in
00:21:09.400
july to focus on it and sent everybody home in august and he got back here and he gave you the shiny toy
00:21:14.040
the fiasco you saw yesterday the fiasco you saw yesterday was your shiny toy because you're too dumb
00:21:21.480
to focus on what is of the most important thing in american uh political or economic or individual life
00:21:28.280
right now you know maybe besides the spiritual warfare we're going through of these demons that
00:21:35.720
are trying to destroy our country one way they're trying to destroy it it's just to keep printing money
00:21:41.320
and keep leviathan fed kevin mccarthy did nothing on this so he can step there the mic
00:21:47.400
and just do your eye roll say kevin cut to the chase let's get to the cr we know what we did last night
00:21:52.680
joe biden to show you how interested he is joe biden comes out just when this is happening he says
00:21:57.480
hey i'm vetoing any any cr that has anything to do with border security right i'm gonna give me a
00:22:03.880
clean cr in other words you keep the scam and the con going unlimited so then they can roll it all up
00:22:09.960
and vote on a uh on one pound another omnibus just like last year and do it right before the christmas
00:22:15.240
holidays fortunately we have patriots like yourself that are standing in the breach and they understand
00:22:26.200
we're unmovable we're unmovable we got those three bills through last night gates and the team
00:22:31.800
got the three bills through because we wanted to put it in their grill hey we passed these out this 50
00:22:37.480
of the spending they're not perfect a bunch of our memos got shut down shot down a bunch of stuff in
00:22:43.160
committee got shot shot down you know micro these defend these these insane defense hawks that are just
00:22:50.600
over the top with weapons and munitions and not thinking about 21st century warfare
00:22:55.880
and not thinking about victory more of the vietnam iraq afghanistan not particularly bright
00:23:02.360
generals working with defense contractors to keep us in endless wars with the uniparty
00:23:13.240
but it was good enough good enough for this process right now good enough to get it over and put in
00:23:17.400
their face hey we we funded 50 of the government what's your beef the only one that didn't pass
00:23:23.960
was ag and ag didn't pass because the moderates not to consider they all all the conservatives
00:23:29.160
all the mega guys piled in here is mainly the moderates and there is some big issues with the
00:23:33.480
ag bill and the fda there's no doubt about that i would personally never pass the defense
00:23:39.080
belt would have been a hard no but i can understand of how to move this forward and now get down to the
00:23:43.800
the main or at least the the the sidebar event which all got their hair on fire is the uh is
00:23:50.360
the quote oh my gosh the government's gonna shut down do we have bill hemmer and p buddha judge is
00:23:56.200
that ready yet you can i i want to show you what fox is doing this morning here's what fox is doing
00:24:01.000
this morning they're putting shutdown porn on with two of my favorite fellas bill hemmer and p buddha judge
00:24:08.920
this is what fox is doing this morning let's let's rupert murdoch's lachlan murdoch's fox news
00:24:14.440
this is how they're serving the republic this morning let's play it if we lose a week a week long
00:24:20.760
shutdown could set us back by a month if a shutdown lasts a month it could set us back by a year okay
00:24:25.720
so in terms of being able to hit those urgent staffing i just want to emphasize we're far from
00:24:29.480
that point yeah but again we're talking about training and no air traffic controllers are going to
00:24:32.920
leave the job their their pay would be docked uh but they would get back pay eventually um i here's
00:24:39.160
my point deadline well i want to mention one other thing which is there are a lot of employees who
00:24:43.320
might not get that back pay because they were author authorization lapsing too okay deadlines tend
00:24:48.920
to focus the mind would you agree yeah but the reason they focus uh the mind is that you rally to
00:24:57.960
actually hit that deadline we hope and expect that house republicans will do that but at this point we
00:25:04.120
have a responsibility to prepare for what happens if they fail to do that if kevin mccarthy cannot
00:25:09.720
deliver on the deal that he made with president biden earlier this year and we're inside of 48 hours on
00:25:16.280
his ability to keep that promise then we got a real problem across the country disruptions uh that
00:25:22.120
will again mount each day that uh that lapse continues and just set us back in important work that we're
00:25:27.560
we're doing right now i mean i know that sometimes federal workers get portrayed as sort of uh
00:25:32.840
pushing paper and the work they do it doesn't matter some of the people are going to get pulled off
00:25:36.280
the job in my building are the people developing uh the process to make sure that you could get
00:25:40.760
compensated if an airline is responsible for you being delayed for hours and hours and it's their
00:25:46.360
fault this is stuff that matters to people it's why we have these policies and uh and these uh
00:25:51.000
departments in the first place in place and shutting them down not to mention letting service
00:25:55.240
members go without pay it's just unacceptable i know democrats put the focus on house uh so all
00:25:59.720
all day long on on the carl rove the carl roves running the train he the trains left the station
00:26:05.160
on fox all day long you're gonna get shutdown porn shutdown porn non-stop no pushback you're just
00:26:11.800
gonna get it all day long has fox uh by the way with cuddle and all their guys steve moore they're all
00:26:17.400
on there all the time the guys want the big tax cuts when we're sitting on 33 trillion dollars of
00:26:22.360
debt we're gonna do some math here for a second where i gotta get a whole lot worse and nobody's
00:26:25.960
talking about it is anybody up there having the adult conversation of what is the purpose of this
00:26:32.040
what is the purpose of this they all knew that this with that midnight on the 30th is going to
00:26:36.600
strike why are we here we're here because they are irresponsible we're here because they like driving
00:26:44.680
crises because this is how they jam up the american people they obfuscate they spin you
00:26:50.360
they like this this is how they rule this is how they govern we said a couple of days ago it's going
00:26:57.080
to be very um enlightening illuminating in your awakening and the awakening of the american people
00:27:05.000
see exactly who governs you is it the people that you work so hard to send to washington
00:27:11.160
or is it the uh corporatist lobbyist globalist oligarchist powers that be elite in this country
00:27:22.040
that do it for themselves is don't have ej up yet a date let me get dave brett in here for dave first
00:27:28.280
off can you please because you know the way that the games are played in this town and you particularly
00:27:32.920
know mccarthy this this shows you these policies i mean he can sit up there on something he has
00:27:39.480
fought and fought and fought and now try to take credit yeah for the positive things that are
00:27:44.280
happening yeah no well it the the whole language right the wall street journal a couple days ago
00:27:50.680
had a great piece on the new moral order is crumbling the new moral order has been a 30 40 year
00:27:57.800
major project which features lying as its chief feature the the repudiation of truth
00:28:03.560
and the control of narrative right carl marx and his ideology and the new neo-marxist thing
00:28:08.760
it's basically control of moral language taking out the the morality and the utter foundations of the
00:28:14.840
judeo-christian west and you had some stuff in the cold open about people talking about decency
00:28:20.200
where do you think you get the term decency uh the greeks didn't have decency the roman empire you
00:28:25.480
think the roman empire at zero when jesus came on the scene and pronounced love for his brothers
00:28:30.200
and sisters you think they had decency no and so that's what it's an attack a moral attack on all
00:28:36.680
those features and so when mccarthy's up there talking uh one of the key threats to this uh republic
00:28:44.280
right now is this threat of democracy right the everybody's claiming both sides are claiming the
00:28:49.560
other side's fascist uh there's one way not to have a fascist regime that's to have a smaller
00:28:54.200
federal government uh but more importantly you just saw the glimmers the first glimmers of a true
00:29:00.120
democracy in action last night for the first time in 30 years i've never seen it a functioning democracy
00:29:07.720
where you inform the people about what's in the bills for seven trillion dollars in spending
00:29:13.320
if you want to talk to me about democracy uh folks on the left that's democracy in a republican
00:29:20.520
form of government uh and if you've got a better example i'd like to hear it and then everybody on
00:29:25.080
the left in the media talk about uh bearing false witness to be polite uh they're all saying okay so
00:29:33.320
the house did its thing but now the senate's going to uh reject it and uh the white house has already uh
00:29:39.000
rejected it too and they're going to veto it uh well that is not very democratic i'd like to see a
00:29:44.600
debate the senate hasn't done regular order and the white house really is not in charge of the budget the
00:29:49.480
budget is given to the house in the constitution where the body uh nearest the people and the house
00:29:55.480
has a a unique role in crafting that budget and unfortunately in the past we haven't done our
00:30:01.320
duty there uh but now we are we're finally doing our duty breaking it down we got to the most important
00:30:07.480
bills right in this sense of decency that wall street uh journal piece actually listed the three
00:30:13.320
pieces that partially uh were solved last night uh the the border you just heard the sheriff killings
00:30:19.720
murders are taking place in record numbers on the border is that decency or would it be more decent to
00:30:27.400
shut down the border and have the rule of law which gives you ordered democracy and freedom instead of
00:30:33.640
total chaos and then the same uh when it comes to the 50 trillion in debt is it moral is it decent uh to
00:30:41.320
just continue with 50 trillion in debt at a five percent interest rate uh we we've got evidence
00:30:47.080
that uh just just assuming a five percent interest rate right now uh kicks into about one and a half
00:30:53.720
trillion uh in in interest payments alone in 10 years when you have a full 50 trillion dollars in debt at
00:31:00.360
five percent it's two and a half trillion dollars in interest payments and everybody knows that we're
00:31:05.400
already in default we're gonna have to solve it one way or the other and then i could go on and on
00:31:09.720
on the moral indictment of this country uh including our chief trading partner being a totalitarian
00:31:15.880
surveillance state uh that we don't question is that of which we have a guy that sits in the oval
00:31:23.080
office that has been on their payroll taking bribes from them and done corrective action to not to
00:31:29.320
confront them um it shows you the rot of the system the system is rotted rotted uh stem to stern and and
00:31:36.360
you're in the process of purging that rot and they hate it uh we now have notification i believe that
00:31:43.080
they're going to uh they're going to um bring up the um cr at 11 30 house will meet at 11 30 to begin
00:31:51.320
debate on a gop-led uh continuing resolution still unclear whether they have enough votes for it to pass
00:31:57.160
the house today we probably will go and try to get as much of that live a coverage we'll pick it up from
00:32:02.200
the the floor that will be pretty intense as we've been covering uh non-stop uh this do we have do we
00:32:08.840
have um ej and tony uh ej and tony a couple things number one the daily caller i just want to make
00:32:14.600
sure the day daily calls been doing a terrific job of um covering the economy and they've got a great
00:32:20.600
story of you know unbeknownst a lot of people the the biden regime came out yesterday the feds
00:32:26.200
somebody came out and actually did the official downgrade of gdp gdp looks around two percent two
00:32:31.960
point one percent which remember remember when you're in the one to two percent you're not in
00:32:37.800
a mathematical or a technical uh recession but you're in a recession for the folks the working
00:32:43.640
class and middle class folks okay because there's a whole bunch of stuff that goes in that number that
00:32:48.040
can kind of jack it up where they have a reset later but this means a those types of numbers
00:32:54.440
mean lost decade our economy can't we can't thrive at first of all we can't pay our bills at two percent
00:33:01.080
growth and they're sitting there talking about a two trillion dollar uh deficit it's outrageous ej
00:33:06.760
once you once you update us on uh any updates on the economy capital markets i want to get into this
00:33:12.760
calculation that the three of us have kind of done on the back of envelope with help from some hedge
00:33:16.920
fund guys about what the real interest expense going to be ej uh any any opening thoughts
00:33:23.480
certainly steve i mean in terms of of the overall economy what we've essentially seen is that
00:33:28.440
it turns out that the economy was growing faster than previously estimated when trump left office
00:33:34.760
and since biden took over the economy has been uh now revised lower and it's not a matter of simply
00:33:41.320
rearranging deck chairs like some uh some quarters were revised lower under biden others were revised up
00:33:47.320
no overall we still see about a half a percentage point uh downward revision now that that's pretty
00:33:52.920
significant it may not sound like much but half of a percent is well over a billion dollars that the
00:33:58.520
bea essentially just snapped its fingers and and poof it's gone at the same time uh inflation under
00:34:04.600
biden was revised higher and so you know the common man i think knew this already uh but the statisticians
00:34:11.160
of course are are standing there in shock saying oh my goodness i can't believe inflation was even worse
00:34:16.280
than we previously estimated all last year but of course it was uh so this brings a lot of the uh
00:34:23.000
quote unquote official data more in line with private survey data which i think is a good thing i
00:34:28.200
think we can rely on these numbers as being more accurate i just wish we had them uh quite a while ago
00:34:33.800
because they confirm what so many of us already knew in terms of looking forward then you're absolutely
00:34:40.120
right that we're looking at well over a trillion dollars in interest expense on the debt it's looking more
00:34:45.960
and more like it's going to be 1.5 trillion dollars in annual interest and the reason for that is
00:34:51.560
because the treasury continues sucking all the oxygen out of the room they are borrowing so much money
00:34:58.280
that savers simply can't keep up and so how do you attract more savers into the loanable funds market you
00:35:04.680
need to offer a higher interest rate and that's what the treasury is having to do but at the same time
00:35:09.640
you have a lot of private interests that are also looking to borrow and so they are forced to offer
00:35:14.840
higher yields as well and compete with the treasury what what this is essentially doing is driving up
00:35:21.080
interest rates even further and now i think the fed is going to be stuck playing catch up
00:35:25.480
trying to raise its own interest rates rates further and sell continue to sell off the balance sheet
00:35:31.240
all of that points to a contracting economy in the very near future so i wish i had better news steve
00:35:37.240
but things are not looking good because we cannot get no no no but this is why under control
00:35:41.960
this is what they're not talking about i so i wanted to calculate if we put that chart up which
00:35:47.560
has got the one-year treasury at five and a half what is i didn't look this morning what is the 10-year
00:35:52.360
treasury right now can you look for that and and just give me the quote on or ej ej what's the 10-year
00:35:56.920
treasury because here's with this so put the chart up and and you two are the economists walk me through
00:36:04.200
here but just back of the envelope because i know there's hedge fund guys looking at this right now
00:36:07.560
because of the intensity of the debate in washington and the fact that uh the fact that they won't
00:36:15.400
address what the problem is the problem is not a quote-unquote what i call a de-financing of the
00:36:22.360
apparatus 4.5 okay 10 10 years of 4.5 uh the the one years at the five um
00:36:30.120
we'll talk about inverted yield curves later as as as uh as uh omens about recessions but ej help me
00:36:41.800
out if you look at the range on this inverted year if you look at the range from the three-month
00:36:49.160
treasury and folks what reason we're doing this all this debt has to be rolled over the short term
00:36:53.480
gets rolled over every 90 days uh they've got you know they've got all types of durations on these
00:36:58.600
things if you just do the average at 33 trillion and remember what this debate is about right now
00:37:06.360
the this debt train's not going to stop it's going to continue we will actually argue that if you don't
00:37:15.160
lance the boil now you are structurally putting this in place that you can never you're on the abyss
00:37:22.280
on your point of no return you can't come back but correct me if i'm wrong brett if i just average
00:37:27.320
this out at five and a half percent for for for the for the short term to the 4.7 for the out years
00:37:33.480
the 30 year yep and do some basic averaging let's say it's five percent overall and i know this stuff
00:37:39.800
rolls so i'm not getting a perfect weighted average but ej and dave correct me if i'm wrong you're looking
00:37:45.960
at interest payments in this coming year of north of one and a half trillion dollars yeah right exactly
00:37:54.200
and my here here's the point here's the point just like in bankruptcy slowly at first and all once
00:38:01.240
we are heading into a financial calamity look at all these people all these ribbon clerks up here
00:38:07.800
that will not address it we're getting ready we're facing a calamity that they will not address
00:38:14.600
because of what they've done in the overspending that drove the inflation the first place remember
00:38:19.560
under trump you had no inflation right you had to kick the interest rates up this is what slowed
00:38:25.880
down the economy is they're trying to the fed the fed but you have something here that's even beyond the
00:38:30.120
fed the cost of the money itself and it's the law of large numbers you're so big right now
00:38:37.400
you got 33 trillion and adding to it two trillion two and a half trillion that the interest payments are
00:38:43.480
going to explode the the total amount day brett yeah and so we're in such a bad time you know the
00:38:49.640
markets wall street they've been expecting the fed to go easy again start printing money but the fed can't
00:38:56.120
precisely because they're doing the math that you just went through right so the other day we had one
00:39:00.920
and a half trillion deficit spending plus six hundred billion in interest expense now we're saying it's
00:39:07.160
1.5 plus 1.5 so you're already at three trillion without any emergencies and that's only through
00:39:13.640
11 months of the year right and so then the numbers are exploding the federal reserve knows that and
00:39:19.960
they cannot pay that they know the federal government cannot pay that pay that and they're in the middle
00:39:24.600
of a political business cycle and everybody knows i want to make sure everybody understands that these
00:39:28.600
are not firm and hard numbers we're doing this like in mergers and acquisitions you just say look
00:39:34.040
i want to put the things together quickly to see directionally if this thing makes sense right if
00:39:38.680
it doesn't make sense directionally we're not going to spend all this time doing uh doing uh
00:39:42.200
merger models we're just showing you directionally this is what's happening ej you brought up the other
00:39:47.640
day the refinancing uh when you have 33 trillion dollars and the feds got short terms and they got
00:39:54.200
long terms they got tens they got thirties they got fives they got 30 days they got uh the the the
00:39:59.400
the one years all of it that's in a constant process of the new york fed which is the trading
00:40:04.280
desk refinancing this and now at these interest rates with the 500 basis point increase this becomes
00:40:11.240
like the thing itself this is where you're going to make we are now becoming slaves to to capital
00:40:18.040
markets that that the the the ability like president trump's perfect example the tax cuts that president
00:40:23.560
trump gave right come come do or they expire in january i think february of 2025 the first 30 days of
00:40:31.640
his second term think about it you're going to have such a narrow uh such a narrow playing field
00:40:38.920
that all your decision making is going to be taken away yeah ej fire away but i'll just say my tea
00:40:44.520
party folks and conservatives uh fiscal hawks were always asking me hey when's it going to happen
00:40:50.520
when's that when's this bond default going to happen when are we when's it finally going to hit
00:40:54.760
it's hidden right now now is when the federal reserve's waking up and ej will explain uh even more
00:41:00.360
well you're defaulting every day yeah this is the printing of the money this is the purchasing power
00:41:04.680
the guys that know the tell that you know you're defaulting your it's a practical default are the bricks
00:41:10.840
they're not down there spending all the time trying to get a basket of currencies and and and and
00:41:15.000
god help them they got to use the chinese wand by the way small financial news evergrand
00:41:20.200
the largest property developer in china in mainland china as we've warned you about the
00:41:25.080
biggest refinancing they got to do the chairman has just been arrested uh for uh for uh for crimes and
00:41:31.960
and and fraud and uh this is what they do when they're about to step in and say oh my god we got
00:41:37.560
a problem let's go get rid of the top 30 guys and blame them who have been giving them kickbacks and
00:41:42.200
and taking money this is the way the ccp rolls ej are we on the precipice now of the dead bomb the dead
00:41:49.640
bomb that really now gets out of control because you don't have enough serious people up here in
00:41:53.640
capitol hill talking about the real central problem of the nation steve absolutely because if you look
00:42:00.760
at the volume of debt we have if you look at what what has happened with interest rates not only in
00:42:06.040
terms of where we are but where we came from in such a short period you are looking at a much worse
00:42:11.240
situation than we had from 2007 to 2009 there is a lot more debt and we have unfortunately a system
00:42:19.400
that is based on the easy refinancing of debt and that has simply gone away and what we're seeing
00:42:25.800
right now for example is that investors are waking up to this and realizing that these rates are going
00:42:31.400
to be higher for longer as we have been saying frankly for months but the street is finally waking
00:42:36.760
up to this reality and now you're seeing not just the short-term interest rates which we've been
00:42:41.560
watching very closely but you're also seeing the long-term interest rates go up at a very very quick
00:42:46.760
pace uh the the 30-year treasury for example if i remember correctly i think that bond right now is on
00:42:52.680
pace for its fastest increase in terms of yield for any quarter since 2009 and again we all remember
00:42:59.800
what happened back then with the the financial crisis so unfortunately i really think things are
00:43:05.960
not headed in a good direction right now it's going to get very ugly pretty hang on what
00:43:11.800
very ugly now let's go to we got mccarthy answering questions let's go to the sticks and hear what he's got
00:43:16.200
to say okay he knew the war room was coming in to listen so he thought he'd wrap it up uh i think
00:43:26.840
what we know as of right now i think what we know as of right now uh 11 30 they're going to start
00:43:32.120
debate on the cr joe biden has already said dead on arrival right he wants that they want to clean cr
00:43:39.000
what they wanted is for 45 days the senate wants to just continue the madness before i go to break
00:43:44.120
ej if you can hold with me i want to make sure people understand what happened last night and over
00:43:49.160

in the united states senate think about it the senators and particularly the collaborationists that that
00:48:03.640
that work with these radical democrats are exacerbating the invasion of your country
00:48:08.520
day brett i know you got to bounce summary thoughts of where we stand we're going to be have
00:48:12.760
you on all throughout the weekend as we cover this uh they're making a big deal about the
00:48:17.560
de-financing at midnight what's the real what what is what where do we really stand what's the what's
00:48:21.960
the signal not the noise well the the real signal is you're going to see a 180 degree turn in terms
00:48:29.240
of the relationship between the house and the senate and the white house the senate mitch mcconnell said
00:48:34.200
i give kevin mccarthy wide latitude uh wide authority which means power i give him power because he knew
00:48:41.240
what mccarthy was going to do earlier on which was push a cr through all that language now is going
00:48:47.080
to change drastically right so if mitch mcconnell the head of the senate and all the political views
00:48:51.560
are just my own uh well ahead of the republicans in the senate head of the republicans in the senate so
00:48:56.280
if he gives all authority to uh mccarthy before what's changed and what's changed there's only one
00:49:02.200
thing that's changed and that you the american people have spoken and i congratulate the folks who stood
00:49:06.920
strong but all of you out there make such a huge difference i cannot tell you i i get such kind
00:49:13.160
emails every day from you it's just an honor for me to just have some share of being in this
00:49:19.400
conversation with you and so uh keep the country in your prayers pray for both parties uh but pray that
00:49:25.240
the american people's will is done because you guys make all the difference right we always say on
00:49:30.520
this show we'd rather have the first hundred people in the phone book uh run in this country than
00:49:34.200
all these elites up here in the globalists with their moneyed interests and uh go read that wall
00:49:38.600
street journal if you got it on the new moral order is collapsing you are the formal moral order and
00:49:44.600
you need to keep the judeo-christian tradition strong so that this country and this republic will
00:49:50.040
survive with a moral order that's a piece by jerry baker the old editor of the wall street journal
00:49:55.160
from england quite quite powerful um thank you for coming by today and and and your thoughts uh remember
00:50:00.760
dave brad said he hadn't seen this in 30 years it's quite messy and it's quite tough but that's
00:50:05.320
why the war room posse the cadre that's been built around this show is is at work here two zero two
00:50:11.240
two two five three one two one two zero two two four three one two one is the senate the house is two
00:50:17.960
zero two two two five three one two one grace will put up the 117 that voted against ukraine funding
00:50:24.200
remember it's the majority the majority that means if we play by the rules of the house the republican
00:50:29.160
conference that all ukraine funding is dead on arrival right they didn't they vote the majority
00:50:34.680
the majority of republicans voted against even the 300 million last night ej and tony is ej back up
00:50:40.200
rebooted ej uh any closing thoughts here on uh capital markets the economy this back of the envelope we
00:50:46.360
did we're projecting significantly north of one trillion dollars in interest payments next year alone
00:50:53.160
this will blow a hole in the american economy the crowding out the crowding out of government having
00:50:59.720
to refinance this massive debt on a rolling basis or to have a crowding out function of capital going
00:51:05.960
to entrepreneurs ej and tony your thoughts steve a hundred percent once again this is the treasury
00:51:12.360
sucking all the oxygen out of the room and we have to remember that for every dollar the government
00:51:17.640
spends it has to be taken from the private sector first it can be taken right now through either
00:51:22.680
inflation or explicit taxation or it can be taken from future spending through borrowing and what
00:51:29.000
we are seeing right now is just a massive transfer from the american people to the government it has to
00:51:34.680
stop steve it really does we need to make sure that this appropriations fight is successful and that
00:51:40.920
we actually stop leviathan here because otherwise it's going to swallow us all uh ej uh thank you very
00:51:48.520
much and thank you for all the great work you're doing over there at heritage and working with
00:51:51.320
steve moore on the team but just fantastic thank you so much thank you steve
00:51:57.640
okay uh they're going to put the rule up i think they're going to debate the rule at 11 30 we're
00:52:02.440
going to try to cover as much as that as possible uh we've also got uh they're going to i think vote on
00:52:08.440
the cr uh later in the afternoon we're going to check in with some people there's obviously
00:52:14.360
uh a tremendous amount of opposition to this uh but you're starting to hear people saying hey we got
00:52:20.520
the appropriations done last night we want to have time to keep doing this so the argument right
00:52:25.320
now is you if you do a cr do you give them a little more heroin or do you say hey we got to
00:52:29.960
be an adult here cut them off of heroin and that will give everybody's mind focus to get the
00:52:34.360
appropriations bills done in the next week or so of course they're saying the senate's going to reject
00:52:39.720
all this the senate doesn't care so you you got to make sure we're going to shift our focus a little
00:52:44.680
bit from the house over this weekend to the senate you've done a great job in the house including
00:52:50.760
you got to remember when this ukraine thing started the whole apparatus
00:52:54.760
was in back of this there was only a handful of people that said you know i think there's a better way
00:52:59.400
to go and i'm not so sure the eastern speaking russian border of ukraine is in the vital national
00:53:04.440
security of the united states particularly when there's an invasion on our southern border i mean
00:53:08.680
an invasion that is just you know up in your face and you saw we got ben burquam down in mccallown
00:53:14.360
texas he's addressing they have 160 sheriffs from throughout the country you heard sheriff mike lewis
00:53:19.720
from maryland and look at what he said the illegal aliens here he can't do anything about round them up
00:53:25.080
only the criminals he said the criminals are out of control including the fact they had won three times
00:53:29.800
the level of the uh of alcohol consumption the state american three x driving on the wrong
00:53:35.720
wrong side of the road almost had a head-on collision with a sheriff's deputy and he said
00:53:40.200
fentanyl is out of control this is all you can't sit there now say this is by happenstance this is
00:53:46.200
they want this to happen they want this to happen because the the evidence has been put out
00:53:51.640
about how awful this is and they refuse to stop it if you saw these debates over the last couple of
00:53:56.760
nights on some of these amendments and the democrats are just hard in there to the democrats
00:54:01.480
there's no problem in fact we're not spending enough they want uh they want even uh they want
00:54:06.920
even more money they want more more of the same madness okay so the second hour we're going to
00:54:12.280
