In this episode, we discuss the new Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, and why he is a threat to the United States. We also discuss the rise of the Law and Justice Party in Poland, and the parallels between that party and the far-right Law and Order Party in Hungary.
00:00:00.960Mike Johnson, he's from your home state of Louisiana, the Speaker of the House.
00:00:05.580I read today, he wrote a foreword in a book that conscribes to conspiracy theories and homophobic insults.
00:00:12.460I thought, Mike Johnson wrote the foreword to the Bible?
00:00:18.480Do you think Mike Johnson can hold his party together now that he has taken the mantle?
00:00:24.000First of all, I don't think he can hold his party together.
00:00:26.820Second of all, you're exactly right. Mike Johnson, and what he believes, is one of the greatest threats we have today to the United States.
00:02:00.920Din Carvel and Bill Maher, and I want you to embrace this, that Christian nationalism, that Christians, evangelical Christians and traditional Catholics,
00:02:12.720where they talked about the Syllabus Errors, which really was a throwdown against modernity back in the 19th century,
00:02:20.320a throwdown against Nietzsche and what they foresaw the 20th century was going to become with Hitler and Mussolini and Mao Zedong, Stalin, all of it.
00:02:30.140But that's to be mocked and ridiculed.
00:02:33.000And even more importantly, it is you're dangerous.
00:02:36.720In fact, James Carvel said you're more dangerous than Al-Qaeda.
00:02:42.440And remember, Al-Qaeda is the Twin Towers.
00:02:55.580Folks in the audience that have a biblical worldview, traditional Catholics that believe in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,
00:03:02.640according to the secularists that control this country, you're more dangerous than the most dangerous terrorists that have taken this country on in 50 years.
00:03:11.440But it seems that Steve Bannon and Speaker Mike Johnson have taken some offense to what I said on Bill Maher.
00:03:42.600The person I really feel sorry for, it's a violation of the Eighth Amendment, cruel and unusual punishment, to be in the same cell with him.
00:04:00.280So, Anne, as you studied in your book, as you studied what Orban did on the path to power, as you studied what the Law and Justice Party did on the path to power,
00:04:19.040I don't remember it even being as explicit, their threats against democracy in Hungary and Poland, even being as explicit as having a presidential candidate promising to terminate the Constitution,
00:04:34.880execute generals that are insufficiently loyal, and ban television news networks that he doesn't like.
00:04:43.020Again, in the campaign phase, this seems far more explicit, far more extreme than even what we saw in Orban's rise and the Law and Justice's rise in Poland.
00:04:58.840I mean, it's true that in both of those cases, it was the second term, it was the second time of being in power when those political parties and leaders, you know, began to push back against the media,
00:05:12.040you know, change the Constitution, change the courts.
00:05:14.520And so, in that sense, this is a parallel, but you're right that this kind of language about, you know, attacking my enemies and describing them as vermin,
00:05:25.760you know, which is the kind of language that Nazis use to describe their enemies and describe Jews, you know, this isn't something you heard in Central Europe.
00:05:34.580It sounds much more like what you'd hear in Russia or in one of the really severe autocracies around the world.
00:05:41.180It's not even, it's not even the language of declining democracy elsewhere.
00:05:46.900Together, we're taking on some of the most menacing forces and vicious opponents our people have ever seen.
00:05:55.120No matter how hateful and corrupt the communists and criminals we're fighting against may be,
00:06:01.780you must never forget that our nation does not belong to them.
00:06:06.400This nation belongs to you, Front Row Joes.
00:06:11.180This is your home, this is your heritage, and our American liberty is your God-given right.
00:06:19.440So, Liz, what do you say to people who accuse you, me, a lot of us, of just catastrophizing, being hysterical,
00:06:34.080when we bring up the fact that he's talking about terminating the Constitution, assassinating generals that disagree with him,
00:06:43.680taking TV networks off that he disagrees with, jailing immediately those that he opposes,
00:06:51.240former lawyers that have been insufficiently loyal?
00:06:54.560How do you explain to your friends, your former allies, and other skeptics that this is a decision between democracy and authoritarianism in 2024?
00:07:09.320Well, I think that's exactly what we have to do, and I think part of it is remembering that there are certain people that we aren't going to convince.
00:07:19.080There are people that are going to be with Trump no matter what.
00:07:21.040But there are more people, Republicans, Democrats, independents, who we have to make sure they understand he's not a choice, he's not an option, he's not fit for this office.
00:07:34.420And I think that those are the people who are listening.
00:07:38.260Those are people we have to mobilize and motivate to stand against the danger that he presents.
00:08:11.200And just reminding people they can't think of him as an option when they go in to vote in 2024.
00:08:32.900I think, you know, what you're sort of what you're sort of getting at here is Christian nationalism.
00:08:36.740Right. I read the I haven't read the book yet,
00:08:38.780but I read the piece that you put out in The Atlantic about it that ended with the pastor who took over for your father,
00:08:44.420who was trying to fight the takeover of Trump in the in the church.
00:08:49.220You asked him what's happened to the evangelicals in America.
00:08:51.920And he said they love America too much.
00:08:54.160It's like they are. Is that what we're dealing with here?
00:08:56.300Is this what what this what the evangelical or at least for some evangelicals that are supporting Trump morphed into Christian nationalism?
00:09:02.840I think so. And listen, Christian nationalism is a loaded term and it means different things to different people.
00:09:08.840So I think clarifying in this context what the definition is, it's helpful at the end of the day.
00:09:14.900If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, you are called to a citizenship in heaven and you are called to be a part of the kingdom of God.
00:09:23.260And we are warned as Christians throughout Scripture, Old Testament and New Testament prayers and epistles all the way through.
00:09:30.060It's not ambiguous that your identity is rooted in heaven.
00:09:34.520Your identity is rooted in following Jesus.
00:09:38.340Unfortunately, I think this love of country, which can be healthy to a point, over realized among some of these evangelical Christians,
00:09:47.700has sort of merged two kingdoms into one and has created this this belief that somehow if America falls, then God himself is defeated.
00:09:57.820When again, as Christians, we believe that Jesus triumphed over the grave.
00:11:07.340It's Tuesday, 5 December in the year of our Lord, 2023 on Capitol Hill right now.
00:11:17.060There's a hearing with the Ivy League presidents under oath where they're being grilled by Lee Stefanik and others about exactly who finances these colleges in the rise of not simply anti-Semitism, but Jewish.
00:11:30.560And I might add Christian hate and hate for the West.
00:19:16.300They know that they can't bring up a better policy than President Trump on anything, not the border, not taking on the CCP, not defeating Iran, not taking on Russia, not taking on the DPRK, not ending forever wars, not ending human trafficking, not ending the drug cartels, anything.
00:20:41.020There's 10 major – they're major – all their starters.
00:20:44.180They put their starting team on this to kind of – this is where they get the momentum.
00:20:47.640I say you've got to have muscle velocity.
00:20:49.560They were looking for muscle velocity.
00:20:52.120As an aside, you Hindus are maybe the guys who are going to go after the worst because you've got that – if you were in India, you'd be voting for Modi.
00:20:59.480And Modi's on the list of – he's like an Orban, right?
00:21:13.120He's actually said he's going to come after people.
00:21:15.060It's Trump's – I think President Trump might have read government gangsters.
00:21:19.420I think one of the fears I'm hearing because you can – you know when they're afraid is that they understand that, hey, we have the receipts.
00:22:05.520But look, what you're talking about is the evidence.
00:22:08.740And that's what the left and the radical left-wing media are running away from.
00:22:12.280Now they are saying Donald Trump is going to use the two-tier system of justice created by Joe Biden, the Democrats, and the Rhinos, Merrick Garland, Rod Rosenstein, Christopher Wray, government gangsters of the top tier.
00:22:22.980Now they're actually saying the left is saying Donald Trump is going to dare to use the DOJ and FBI to act out acts of political vengeance.
00:22:31.040The only difference is the left knows they're the ones that broke the law.
00:22:58.080We've got to marshal the clans here and make sure we blow up their next election rigging scam.
00:23:05.940Do you feel highly confident that when you go back and is a senior member of this administration, President Trump's administration, starting in the afternoon of the 20th of January of 2025,
00:23:17.400do you feel confident that you will be able to deliver the goods, that we can have serious prosecutions and accountability?
00:23:25.680And I want the Morning Joe producers that watch us and all the producers to watch us.
00:23:33.160You cannot have a constitutional republic and allow what these deep staters have done to the country.
00:23:41.520The deep state, the administrative state, the fourth branch of government never mentioned in the Constitution is going to be taken apart brick by brick.
00:23:49.760And the people that did these evil deeds will be held accountable and prosecuted, criminal prosecutions.
00:23:55.420Cash, I know you're probably going to be head of the CIA, but do you believe that you can deliver the goods on this in a pretty short order of the first couple of months so we can get rolling on prosecutions?
00:24:07.680We got the bench for it, Bannon, and you know those guys.
00:24:10.060I'm not going to go out there and say their names right now so the radical left-wing media can terrorize them.
00:24:13.700But, excuse me, the one thing we learned in the Trump administration the first go-around is we got to put in all America patriots top to bottom.
00:24:29.780And the one thing we will do that they never will do is we will follow the facts and the law and go to courts of law and correct these justices and lawyers who have been prosecuting these cases based on politics and actually issuing them as lawfare.
00:24:45.000We will go out and find the conspirators not just in government but in the media.
00:24:49.620Yes, we're going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections.
00:25:04.260This is why we're dictators because we're actually going to use the Constitution to prosecute them for crimes they said we have always been guilty of but never have.
00:25:14.120Use the Constitution to protect the Constitution in this constitutional republic.
00:25:18.040Before I get to the Persians, one last thing.
00:25:21.280Julie Kelly is going to join us tonight in the evening show, the first hour.
00:25:27.260But, Cash, they're actually admitting now that they've either destroyed or lost so they can't find the J6 depositions, the film depositions.
00:26:10.520And then when the Trump administration comes in, we'll handle the rest.
00:26:12.920But here's the other thing they should be doing, scouring the email systems on the House servers because here's what government gangsters always do.
00:26:20.480They leave attachments of the transcripts, clips of the videos.
00:26:24.220We've got to go through all of the staffers that were on that committee and every single member of Congress.
00:26:28.360I don't know why this hasn't been done yet, and we're just accepting their answer that they were destroyed.
00:26:32.620I believe they probably tried to destroy a lot of it, but they're never good enough to cover up their own criminal actions.
00:26:38.420So Speaker Johnson and whoever else is in charge over there has to go subpoena these people and has to go to work and get the records that are on their servers.
00:26:48.480Cash, are we being walked into sleepwalking into another Gulf of Tonkang?
00:26:52.320We've got a Navy destroyer that's in the Red Sea, which is a shooting gallery.
00:26:58.120I want to hold you just for a minute or two after the break.
00:26:59.980I know you've got to bounce, but give me a minute on that before we go to break.
00:27:02.140Yeah, when you have a guided missile cruiser of the United States of America, a ship of war, attacked by an Iranian drone that is armed with ballistic missiles,
00:27:12.700I don't want to hear the Biden administration and the U.S. Navy say, oh, they missed us, so we weren't really the target.
00:49:49.960They're destroying people because the billionaires, the coax – it doesn't affect the coax.
00:49:54.760It affects people making $20,000, $25,000, $35,000, $40,000, $50,000, $60,000, $70,000, $80,000 a year and trying to keep a family together.
00:52:31.240The median family, the middle person in that income distribution we looked at in America, has only $28,000 saved for their entire retirement.
00:52:44.940The middle family has $28,000 to live on.
00:52:50.960We're going to go through that number.
00:52:52.240Remember, this ties directly to Nikki Haley, the CNN, the lead story I got up on Getter, that blazing headline that she's, her number one thing she's running on is tax, is go after Social Security.
00:54:56.380For warroom veterans, you know we have been all over this supply chain issue with China and medications and the active pharmaceutical ingredients.
00:55:08.400China has a stranglehold on us where there's a way to break that.
00:55:13.380I got an emergency medication kit from them.
00:55:15.880The FDA just declared a global shortage of medication and warned that critical antibiotics are in extreme short supply across the United States.
00:55:24.400But you know that because you're a viewer or listener of this show.
00:55:29.300Now, here's the action you can take to correct.
00:55:32.260Do yourself and your family a favor and get your Jace case right now.
00:55:36.560It's a pack of five prescription antibiotics you'll have on hand for common emergencies.
00:55:48.440Take a few minutes and fill out the form.
00:55:50.780Your information will be reviewed by a board-certified physician and your medication will be dispensed by a licensed pharmacy at a fraction of the regular cost.
00:56:01.520You'll be glad you have the Jace case.
