The latest on the latest in the conflict between Israel and Hamas and the West Bank, including the return of the Israeli ambassador to Jordan, and the new House Speaker, Mike Johnson, s call for a humanitarian pause in Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
00:01:42.620And that's one of our concerns, is to avoid instability showing elsewhere in the Middle East.
00:01:48.860This is Republicans returning to kind of who they are.
00:01:52.840And Stephanie, I would put it in the context of this.
00:01:55.920This is exactly what the House would have done, even if Kevin McCarthy was still the House Speaker.
00:02:01.000I don't think the opening salvo is a real reflection of where Mike Johnson is compared to the rest of the caucus.
00:02:07.680They always flirt with this idea of offsetting emergency, or in this case, aid for a national security partner that impacts our own security.
00:02:16.140But they do it knowing that this will not be the end product.
00:02:18.900And so that is the question now about Mike Johnson's leadership as the new speaker.
00:02:23.280We know under a Kevin McCarthy, it would have started here, but it would end differently.
00:02:27.960And differently means a compromise or, frankly, fully ceding to Joe Biden and Democrats
00:02:33.200to make sure there's a package that's not paid for that doesn't include the IRS cuts.
00:04:43.820He's one of the most inexperienced people ever to hold this job.
00:04:47.200And what's going to happen is Schumer's going to get a bunch of Republicans to vote for an Israel aid bill over in the Senate that doesn't involve the IRS.
00:04:55.680And then a bunch of Mike Johnson's members are going to say, OK, I'm going to be for that, too,
00:04:59.240because all these Senate Republicans, including the senator from my own state, has already voted for it.
00:05:40.980The unemployment rate and do keep in mind our last look on the unemployment rate was pretty important because we had three point eight.
00:05:49.180It moves up again to three point nine, three point nine, three point nine would be the highest level going all the way back actually to January to January when we were at four percent.
00:06:01.620And just for a comparison, we were at three point seven one year ago.
00:06:05.460If you look at October of twenty two versus October of twenty three.
00:06:09.780And finally, the underemployment rate, which is seven point two.
00:07:15.400It's Friday, 3 November, Year of Our Lord, 2023.
00:07:20.300Of course, we've got capital markets news, economic news, geopolitical, the fights on Capitol Hill, everything that this audience has come to expect from the show.
00:07:30.540And also to empower you as you go about your work in saving this country.
00:07:37.720The labor numbers today, I think the most important thing, the buried lead that Santelli talked about is the resets off the, the changes off the numbers you've already been given.
00:07:49.160It's just like the deficit numbers we saw when they cooked the books and it only got to 1.7.
00:07:55.700They got a 1.7 trillion dollar deficit instead of 2 trillion, which it really is.
00:08:00.420Here you're seeing the labor numbers every month.
00:08:02.980And we're going to have EJ on this afternoon.
00:08:04.380Every month they're going back with these massive reallocations to show you that the numbers are never good.
00:08:10.920This, this government, you cannot trust anything this regime says, including the blockbuster news out of the New York Times from going to a website that has the flight data.
00:08:23.400The Biden regime has had drones over, over Gaza.
00:08:29.440And I hope somebody in the house knew this, have had drones over Gaza at the beginning.
00:08:33.820And the question is, is that for targeting?
00:08:36.080I mean, is we now an active participant in this?
00:08:39.260This is why, you know, in the Israeli bill yesterday was fine.
00:08:44.300And the fact that it bifurcated out Ukraine and now overnight, the Biden regime is telling us they may cave on border security.
00:09:06.360They rely on everything, whether it's what our real engagement is on these wars, what, what numbers are of deficits, what the unemployment real number.
00:09:18.080You can't believe anything they say because it always gets adjusted later.
00:09:23.260They want it out for the news cycle saying, get a narrative going.
00:09:25.840And then they want to, they want to change it later.
00:10:02.960And, you know, Mike Johnson, who I think is doing a very good job, but understand that he's talking about putting up the Ukraine bill with border security.
00:10:09.980You're playing into their hands and we will fight that.
00:10:12.800We will fight any one more penny to Ukraine.
00:10:15.880The reason is there's a major story out that I put up that one of the lead generals in in in Ukraine is saying, hey, the offensive is a stalemate.
00:11:30.700And I want to tie together, Mike, some great research.
00:11:33.440And I don't know why, you know, as great as you guys are at Heritage are, you've got other things you've got to focus on.
00:11:39.540I don't know why we're depending upon Heritage and your group to have to do to me what should be basic fundamental investigation coming out of the House.
00:11:48.140I mean, I love what Kevin Roberts, you guys are doing.
00:12:17.500There is not the fall through, the wherewithal, the political courage.
00:12:21.540And then also just the attention span and memories of the institution.
00:12:25.860I mean, if you look at Hillary Clinton, what we're going to talk about here today a little bit, what happened as a result of some of the findings that were exposed by external parties and brought to Congress?
00:12:36.420We can talk about international influence peddling schemes, the Global Foundation ripping off an entire country in Haiti, which then our government shovels more money to.
00:12:44.800We can talk about the bathroom server, the use of pseudonyms, and zero accountability.
00:12:48.820That is essentially the same playbook that Biden picked up and ran at a less sophisticated level.
00:12:54.900And the lack of Congress to actually fall through and solve these problems just makes the road for Biden to do this with Hunter Biden and his brother Jim so much more and more easy.
00:13:04.600And the best example, I think, of recent history is John Durham.
00:13:08.020Everyone pointed to Durham and said he's going to save the day.
00:13:10.400We don't need to do our oversight because we've got John Durham coming in.
00:13:14.720Well, he showed up with an absolute nothing burger.
00:13:17.040And you had congressional Republicans at the Judiciary Committee complaining about the failure to link the investigation to Hillary Clinton, creating the Russia hoax.
00:13:29.060But then the onus goes on to Congress.
00:13:31.900Congress would yell to Durham about not doing it, and then has failed to do anything about it.
00:13:36.260Hillary Clinton has skated completely free.
00:13:38.800She's guilty across the board of several things that they're now accusing Biden of.
00:13:42.780And the regime just knows that the oversight investigations are a limp and feckless way to hold them accountable, and they're just running roughshod over it.
00:13:53.620And messaging every night, three minutes at a time, on Sean Hannity to retirement homes around the country isn't going to get it done.
00:14:00.960You do not remove a corrupt president in this regime with retirement home communities watching Hannity every night.
00:14:07.420You've got to build out the messaging.
00:14:37.120One of the reasons that you've got $60 billion up in your grill right now when the country's in a financial freefall is the Clinton Global Initiative is back because it was not taken care of originally, like Mike Howell's talking about.
00:14:49.240We've got to get serious, got to go on offense and stay on offense.
00:14:53.520All gas, no brake, according to Mike Howell, Heritage.
00:15:00.300I know this is hard to believe, but we're up against another government shutdown later this month, and our wise leaders deal with it how they always do, with more spending.
00:15:11.040While lawmakers are high-fiving, your savings account continues to lose value because more spending weakens the dollar.
00:16:30.160As we break down this funding fiasco, you have to keep bashing yourself.
00:16:35.440You've got the generals coming out in Ukraine.
00:16:38.980And the reason the general is being truthful, he understands he's got to try to get a long-term relationship with NATO and these countries and Poland, particularly these brave countries that are thrown in over in Eastern Europe.
00:16:49.900And he's not going to get like Zelensky.
00:17:14.420When we talk about the cartel, you've got to talk about kind of these prominent families that have – you've got factions, you've got lobbyists, but then you have like – you have these factions.
00:17:24.160The Clinton faction is a powerful faction.
00:17:26.340This weekend, I think it's the 15th anniversary of like Obama, their victory.
00:17:42.400You guys, the reason I wanted to start the show today with you because I'm very concerned on the great fights we got going and people on the ramparts and focus.
00:17:52.740They're trying to divert people's attention with shiny toys right now.
00:17:55.560And I'm all for the impeachment and investigation of the Bidens and get real because the facts are out there, which I've been saying for a couple of years.
00:18:04.480And now you've got – which I'll get to later.
00:18:06.520You've got Hunter Biden lighting Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani up in an op-ed on USA Today that we're mean and cruel people picking on him because he's a perverted drug addict.
00:18:18.140Mike, you've got to take the Clintons out metaphorically.
00:18:23.320You've got to do it through investigations and showing the criminality.
00:18:26.160Well, go back to this original research you've got of how we've let all these guys off the hook, and this is one of the reasons they still come back and still have such a prominent influence on American policy.
00:18:37.620So we got some documents out of the Office of Special Counsel.
00:18:40.960That's an independent agency that investigates certain violations.
00:18:44.580And this relates to the infamous tarmac meeting.
00:18:48.260So the heat of when Clinton and Hillary was on the ropes, you had Bill Clinton who confronted and got on the private jet with then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
00:20:02.500And look, one of the reasons Jordan's not Speaker of the House is because this audience, and this is what the mainstream media missed, this audience was not that enthusiastic.
00:20:45.600So tell me, where do you stand in this investigation right now?
00:20:49.120We're going to keep prying all the docs out.
00:20:50.760This document set hasn't been provided to the American people.
00:20:53.500Just this, you know, one aspect, which is the tarmac meeting, which is the quid pro quo for all of this.
00:20:58.680And we know there was preferential treatment given to Hillary.
00:21:02.240You have the infamous Jim Comey dropping of the investigations, Loretta Lynch throwing up her hands and saying she's off the hook.
00:21:09.300And so we're going to keep making the case.
00:21:10.760Somebody, whoever the next president who controls the DOJ needs to get in there and actually impose consequences on these people.
00:21:18.620This is why we see the same types of corruption, whether it's bathroom servers, the pseudonyms that Hillary used, and then now that Biden and Hunter used.
00:21:27.760The regime and their top-level elites use these tradecrafts.
00:21:32.120And if Republicans on Capitol Hill cannot impose consequences, then we're going to take the case, the next conservative administration, state attorney generals, and anybody else who has the political wherewithal to actually do something about it.
00:21:46.580I mean, this whole thing was set up about 10 years ago because of the bad actions that were related to the Clinton, you know, State Department.
00:21:52.560John McCain and others going out there, stirring up all this trouble that the U.S. and, you know, everyday Americans are now on the hook for well over $100 billion in a position where, you know, we are at our weakest on the world stage.
00:22:05.600We're spread out on multiple continents, and it all traces back to corruption and the corruption of the regime.
00:22:11.100And until someone steps in and rips out the rot at the root, this will continue, and the conservative movement will just be little brother yelling at three-minute clips on evening news, and that's not enough to get it done.
00:22:23.420That's why we're doing it ourselves at the Heritage Foundation.
00:22:25.780We built an investigative team that is par none, far surpasses anything out there on the right, a litigation team.
00:22:32.020And we're fighting for these things in court where the House of Representatives has not been yet this Congress.
00:22:45.920We're putting all the findings out there, and we're not going to wait for anyone else to do it.
00:22:50.460Okay, Mike, I know you've got to bounce, but I've got to get you back on here.
00:22:53.440You said one of the most profound things about 10 years ago with the color revolution, you know, 2014.
00:22:58.920You know, I had both Nigel and Raheem actually went over there to cover there for me when I ran Breitbart.
00:23:05.680We've been stirring up the pot over there for a decade, and now you're getting the due bill.
00:23:10.320You've got $113 billion already in there, $120 billion.
00:23:13.640They're asking for another 60 to 80, but it's going to be another 60 to 80 next year, just like Afghanistan, another 60 to 80.
00:23:18.800We're going to be at half a trillion dollars before you – and all you've done is killed 50 or 60,000 Ukrainians, as Mersheimer told you it happened.
00:23:26.880And the generals are now sitting there going, hey, look, this is not happening.
00:33:14.840Terry Schilling just said, gave you the key that picks the lock.
00:33:19.240The 350,000 Trump supporters that vote for Trump in Kentucky that can change the direction of politics in this country by showing up on Tuesday
00:33:30.600and throwing Brashear out, who's one of these – the new democratic model is to put these kind of schmendricks up there that look like average Joe's next door at the barbecue,
00:33:42.020and they're really radicals, particularly radicals on transgender ideology and this radical grooming philosophy of the democratic regime.
00:33:51.080Also, at the border, you're going to see Ben Bergman is going to be with some guys this week that are trying to protect the border and alert people to the invasion that's coming
00:34:01.960and actually assist the Overwhelmed Border Patrol in identifying, you know what they are?
00:34:08.560And then Darren Beattie is going to get into it, one we should be focused on.
00:34:11.100They just said right there in the question and answer with Rick Scott that, oh, no, we're not really tracking, you know, the terrorist groups here.
00:35:24.300This last election, Steve, this is where you and I really started to build a friendship was in 2019 when we first ran these sports ads against Bashir,
00:35:32.100and he lied and said he wouldn't do anything to hurt girls' sports.
00:36:47.480I got that part, but they're also smart.
00:36:50.160That's what they've been able to accomplish so much, and they've accomplished a lot because they're tough and smart, and that's why they're a mortal threat to the state of Israel.
00:37:44.160Well, it's a remarkable and interesting statement to read in full, and I reread it carefully before coming on the program.
00:37:54.780And it's important to situate within the context of the development of the national security state.
00:38:01.160Remember that the entire national security apparatus, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Patriot Act, a lot of the capabilities that the deep state has emerged as a result of the supposed threat of Islamic terror in the aftermath of 9-11.
00:38:22.420And that was the pretext for all of this stuff to develop.
00:38:26.200And then when it seemed like that threat had dissipated or it could no longer be effectively drummed up in people's consciousness because a lot of the kind of ISIS attacks started to dwindle.
00:38:38.960There was a peak in like 2015, 2016 in Europe, and then it started to dwindle.
00:38:45.400And the national security state saw, OK, well, the biggest threat is now coming from these Trump people.
00:38:51.420And to keep our budgets running, we need to really lean into that because we can't sell the Islamofascist Islamic threat narrative anymore as effectively.
00:39:03.920So now what you have with this Hamas attack and the situation escalating in the Middle East and that politics boiling up into the domestic environment here, now you have a kind of embarrassment of riches from the standpoint of the national security state.
00:39:23.440Because not only do they have violent extremism, which means any American who, for instance, would oppose mass immigration of Palestinian refugees into the country.
00:39:34.440We did a whole separate piece on that on this woman who was Michelle Obama's chief of staff who would be in charge of resettling these people.
00:39:43.020So if you oppose the refugees, you're a domestic extremist.
00:39:46.360But also if you can be interpreted as, you know, supporting, you know, Palestinian cause or that, you can also be a domestic extremist by the old rules of the Patriot Act and sort of the old time classics of using the national security state against the Islamic threat.
00:40:05.300So now they have both sides to take care of.
00:40:07.760So I think the national security community is actually an enormous beneficiary of this.
00:40:13.620And just as a kind of foreign policy footnote to Christopher Wray's remarks, it really is rich that he was emphasizing ISIS repeatedly and the threat of ISIS because his pals in government, Hillary Clinton herself, and this was substantiated in WikiLeaks emails, ISIS was on the side of the United States geopolitically.
00:40:36.860The whole thing that was going on in 2015 with the Syrian civil war was the U.S. effectively promoting the, quote unquote, Sunni rebels in Syria to oust Assad.
00:40:50.580And so now they're conflating the whole issue as though, you know, ISIS is equivalent to everything else.
00:40:56.300So it's really just it's its own kind of slop.
00:41:01.600But the take home point, I think, is the national security community will have a field day because not only do they have the MAGA people to go after, not only do they have the heightened threat of say, oh, any MAGA person who opposes, you know, refugee resettlement is Islamophobic and all of that.
00:41:20.640But then they also have the old George W. Bush Patriot Act era grift of going after, you know, Islamic extremism in the domestic environment.
00:41:34.960So that's my basic read of the situation and in particular, Christopher Wray's speech.
00:41:40.700We just had Mike, and by the way, it was testimony.
00:41:47.320We just had Mike Howell on here from Heritage about the fecklessness of the oversight and never any follow through, never any punch.
00:41:58.240How can we be living in the resurgence of President Trump?
00:42:03.040They sent, you know, Mar-a-Lago, they thought they had, you know, sent him away forever, exiled him.
00:42:07.360It's like Napoleon at what it in on the was it's Helena, right?
00:42:13.320They they had exiled him the but he came back bigger and stronger than ever.
00:42:20.120How can we be sitting here and allowing the FBI to say that and not have, you know, nine investigations coming today, cut their funding off zero?
00:42:31.040Why why are we in a process of allowing them to target Trump voters?
00:42:51.820I mean, this is the story of basically the past, you know, at least five, six, seven years is the transformation of the entire security apparatus of the legal apparatus as a political weapon to go after the domestic political enemies of the regime, which principally are Trump supporters, not limited to Trump supporters.
00:43:14.580But that general, but that general cultural, sociological, political community, this is the number one threat.
00:43:21.880And as far as my understanding goes, it's still the case that the official position of the Department of Homeland Security is that the number one threat to American national security is so-called white supremacist terror.
00:43:59.580Are you tired of progressive corporations and exhausted trying to keep up with all the virtue signaling when you're simply trying to buy products?
00:44:12.340Progressive corporate America continues to push messaging that further alienates conservative Americans, all while eroding the future of the American dream.

00:46:05.020Public Square is founded on the fundamental principle that all people should have the freedom to live, to worship, and to be, without fear of violence or persecution.
00:46:18.720Every person has the right to live safe from violence, hate, and bigotry.
00:46:23.320And for those reasons and so many more, President Joe Biden and I have a duty, not only to keep the people of our nation safe, but to condemn unequivocally and forcefully all forms of hate.
00:46:39.280Since we took office, President Biden and I have fought to uphold that duty.
00:46:43.780Over the past decade, America has seen a rise in attacks on houses of worship.
00:46:49.100So in response, we expanded funding to protect houses of worship from violence.
00:46:54.480After a surge in hate during the pandemic, in particular, anti-Asian hate.
00:47:01.620She's, man, I don't even know how to describe that.
00:47:06.240Anyway, their big push last night was Islamophobia.
00:47:09.680Also, at the same time, a columnist over at Salon makes the case that the biggest threat to America is not the Muslim Brotherhood Hamas,
00:47:24.080or a greater threat than the Muslim Brotherhood Hamas Sharia supremacism, is MAGA and Christian nationalism.
00:47:35.360I told you they would go there, and they went, and MSNBC last night had a field day with it.
00:47:42.560MAGA and Christian nationalism is the number one, the number one national security threat.
00:47:47.700Salon, one of the most prominent magazines in the progressive ecosystem.
00:47:55.060Darren Beattie, your thoughts on that?
00:47:58.340MAGA and Christian nationalism, and this is a prominent, this is the former Playboy guy.
00:48:02.220This is a guy who was a White House correspondent, wrote this huge piece, and I got lit up by some influences, but that's kind of irrelevant.
00:48:40.380In fact, I keep telling you, when I tried to get, with President Trump's concurrence, the Muslim Brotherhood designated as a terrorist organization, got nowhere, zero, because it's so infiltrated in the entire apparatus.
00:48:55.740You know, one real educational experience for me, before I was in politics, I was still a graduate student at Duke at the time, and I had the opportunity to have lunch with General Michael Hayden and a couple of other people.
00:49:13.400And I suggested to him, might the most effective way to address the threat of Islamic terror, which was kind of still part of the conversation at that point, that didn't involve war and didn't involve enhancing the national security state's capabilities?
00:49:33.460Because, remember, he was in charge of the NSA when all that stuff was going on.
00:49:37.540Wouldn't a third alternative simply be to restrict immigration flow from nations with a history of problems with Islamic terror?
00:49:48.080And he laughed in my face as the and didn't even answer.
00:50:23.800And his answer was simply to laugh in my face and not address the issue at all.
00:50:29.620And the point was, you know, and that struck me as so remarkable from someone who's such a senior position in the military, in the intelligence community.
00:50:39.620If there are three options of dealing with the threat of Islamic terror, one is keep putting, you know, keep stuffing steroids in the Patriot Act, effectively.
00:50:55.040And number three is restricting immigration flows.
00:50:58.080It seemed from a national security perspective, from an ethical perspective, from a perspective of limiting curtailments to freedom, all of that.
00:51:08.720The immigration approach is by far the most reasonable and effective.
00:51:12.620But the mere suggestion that that should be tapped into at all, as opposed to the wars and enhancement of the national security capabilities, was quite literally ludicrous, ludicrous in the literal sense of the term.
00:51:27.940And that was, you know, a first bit of real education I got as to how the swamp and how the deep state component of the swamp operates and thinks.
00:51:39.380And, of course, he's turned out to be even more of a scumbag than he was back then.
00:51:46.500Real quickly, because, and I'll tee this up, I've got to figure out maybe tomorrow.
00:51:50.900But Hal was on here talking about, you know, the Ukraine bill is coming up.
00:52:01.200You've been, this Ukraine situation, you're the first one to call it, you and Rahim, on the color revolution that took place there that didn't come here.
00:52:08.400How can we best, how would you recommend this audience think about this Ukraine as they come forward and ask for another $60, $80 billion, sir?
00:52:17.960Well, it's just an endless cash cow to the corrupt oligarchs running Ukraine and the corrupt oligarchs running the American regime and the defense industry.
00:52:30.740That's all it is, is it's a wealth transfer from the beleaguered American taxpayer to the corrupt oligarchs of America and the corrupt oligarchs of Ukraine.
00:52:45.360None of it goes to the people of Ukraine, virtually none.
00:52:50.100So it's, you know, it's an endless grift.
00:52:54.340It's an endless grift of the national security state.
00:52:57.000And what's particularly unfortunate about the defense industry grift is, you know, it would be better from a humanitarian perspective and from a security perspective, probably, to say, okay, can we just theoretically tally up how much money Raytheon would make for whatever war they're pushing for, whatever intervention?
00:53:21.480Can we just tally up, can we get, can we get maybe, you know, EY or, you know, one of the big four accounting firms, tally up how much luck he would make and just give them the money and not do the war?
00:53:35.120Or no, give us a, give us a 20% discount and we'll pay you.
