Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner is no longer the Speaker because of a compromise deal with Chuck Schumer and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Rep. Jim Lankford and Sen. Joe Manchin are the only two Republicans in the House who can still vote to impeach Speaker Boehner.
00:04:36.640Hey, 11 January in the year of our Lord, 2024.
00:04:40.040Yes, we're back in the war room in the nation's capital, and the reason is that we have an emergency.
00:04:45.040And the emergency is that we have a Speaker of the House that has lost his way.
00:04:50.440And there are many people on the right that are trying to help him out and assist him.
00:04:55.180But if that assistance is not taken, then, hey, we may be under new management here shortly.
00:05:00.640Honored to have Marjorie Taylor Greene in as a congressman from Georgia.
00:05:04.020Congressman Greene, and by the way, we're going to do two things here in the – we've got Congressman Greene.
00:05:09.380Russ Vogt's going to join us to talk about his Twitter thread on the one-year CR.
00:05:13.780We've also got Rosemary Jenks, and Rosemary Jenks has a brutal analysis of what Lankford and the Republicans over the Senate have been done about this.
00:05:22.340I just want to – before I go to Russ, a couple things we're going to go through today.
00:05:25.360You've led the interrogation or the questioning of Fauci under oath behind closed doors for two days.
00:05:31.240You have a vaccine injury committee meeting you're holding tomorrow with McCulloch and others.
00:05:38.320You have been – started the impeachment of Mayorkas.
00:05:41.160You – yesterday, Hunter Biden ran from you about the contempt hearings for oversight, and the oversight meeting was amazing.
00:05:47.480You've been the leader right now on not one penny for Ukraine.
00:05:51.640But you've also been – hey, either shut the border down or shut the government down, and now you're in the middle of the speaker fight because yesterday you were one – you joined, I think, the other 11 or 12 to stop the rule.
00:06:03.700So you've thrown down hard on we've got to get serious about this or we have to have a change of management.
00:06:08.960Let's get Russ Vogt in here for a minute.
00:06:11.260Russ, I've got Congressman Greene here, and I know she speaks for a lot of folks right now.
00:06:17.320But you've got either a middle way or – remember, this audience, the Warren Posse, the guys on our side up in the house, we hate the word CR.
00:06:29.720It's emblematic of all the problems we've got.
00:06:31.920Now, and so when someone like you that people revere come out on a Twitter thread last night and say, hey, I think the only solution we've got here is a one-year CR, can you walk us through that?
00:06:42.840Sure, and I just want to be very clear.
00:06:45.640I hate CRs too, and that's because almost all CRs, except what I'm proposing, is to take the previous year's spending level and just continuing it.
00:06:56.640But we have an anomaly right now in the situation that we find ourselves in, and that is that we are under a debt limit deal that was negotiated by the Democrats and Kevin McCarthy.
00:07:07.380And as a result of that, there are caps in place that if you extend the current law spending and there's the final appropriations bill of the year – so it has to be a full-year bill.
00:07:21.680It can't be one of these short-term CRs.
00:07:23.600That will trigger a $73 billion cut to non-defense spending and non-defense spending alone.
00:07:34.280It's because they were generally trying to hide spending that both parties had agreed to.
00:07:39.600And so to make the bill, back in the debt limit, look artificially lower from a fiscal responsibility perspective, they set the cap too low.
00:07:49.280Now, that wouldn't have been an issue if Kevin McCarthy was still the speaker for them, but he's not.
00:07:54.780And as a result, think of it as a light switch.
00:07:58.200This light switch would trigger a 9% across-the-board cut to non-defense spending and non-defense spending alone.
00:08:07.860And right now, I'm one of the biggest critics of Mike Johnson right now.
00:08:12.520He is bowing to the fear of a government shutdown within his own ranks.
00:08:16.480I think he should stand up to that fear like Congressman Green would have him do.
00:08:22.360Right now, the only thing that you could probably get passed in a small, slim majority is something that would be called a continuing resolution but would have the effect of a $73 billion cut across the board.
00:08:37.620This is why they were so desiring to sign on to the bill that Johnson has put forward, which, by the way, would be $100 billion more than what was agreed to by Kevin McCarthy.
00:08:53.620And so that is $100 billion more than a continuing resolution would be.
00:08:58.760So you get a sense for why the Democrats – this is the main threat that the Democrats know and are preparing for.
00:09:06.220And if we can get conservatives comfortable with it, it would be a major coup d'etat, and it would give him a chance to go in a totally different direction.
00:09:16.780But I understand where people hate the notion of a CR, but this is a different CR.
00:09:21.660It is also, to be clear, it is not the Thomas Massey 1%.
00:09:27.320This is a full-year unlocking of an across-the-board $73 billion that that trigger is already in law for a set of historical, recent, contextual reasons that I've already discussed.
00:09:43.900Hey, let me just do some math so people can understand this, if I'm correct.
00:09:47.420If you've got the discretionary spending, you've got the defense budget, I think it will be at $800 billion around there, the non-defense.
00:09:54.940$73 billion would roughly be a 10% cut in discretionary non-defense spending, roughly.
00:10:03.500It would be 9% cut in defense because what they did was they set the cap for defense higher.
00:10:11.100And so if you extend defense, and obviously you and I would like to go lower on defense, but if you extend current law for defense, that's going to come in below their statutory cap.
00:10:22.180That is not the case for non-defense because in non-defense, they had this cap that they set because they wanted it to appear low.
00:10:31.600So they sent it at $704 billion, and they had this whole plan, we call it the side deal, that they were going to spend outside the caps, and that was going to be able to be secured in the presence and person of Kevin McCarthy.
00:10:45.480Because they never thought they'd be here, so what they did on this, they didn't really think through.
00:10:52.260Okay, one thing I've got to make sure the audience understands, because this is going to get to the heart of the problem with Speaker Johnson.
00:10:59.300You just said something that I think is shocking, people.
00:11:02.780Walk us through the math of why Johnson's proposal he signed on is $100 billion more.
00:11:09.020He's been so played by the Democrats, it's shocking.
00:11:13.060How did he get to a situation and show me the math in back of the $100 billion increase?
00:11:19.180$100 billion more than the continuing resolution.
00:11:22.260Again, not $100 billion more than the agreement that McCarthy negotiated.
00:11:27.680So, again, it gets back to this, they set the caps, their design was to set the caps so that they could appear to their conservative members that they were doing some historic deficit reduction.
00:11:40.380So, he has agreed to this arrangement with Schumer that is $100 billion more than a continuing resolution would be in terms of the across-the-board cuts.
00:11:53.240So, that would be $1,564, $1.564 trillion.
00:11:56.740He has agreed to a spending level of $1.659 trillion.
00:12:07.540This isn't really the same type of CRs that we all hate.
00:12:10.780But he's doing something else, $100 billion worse than that.
00:12:15.480And that's his solution without even considering that this might be approached.
00:12:19.900Now, I think as a result of yesterday with a number of the members getting his attention by bringing a rule down, these conversations are probably happening.
00:12:28.060But it's going to be vital that we all have kind of situational awareness.
00:12:32.280And my view always, Steve, is I care about substance over form.
00:12:37.300I hug substance tightly, and I'm loose with form.
00:12:43.440And you hug strategy tightly, and we'll use the tactics we've got to use.
00:12:50.320Am I to take it that the difference then between your – to go back to the one-year CR and what Johnson agreed to is $173 billion difference?
00:13:43.820But for – do not pass a massive Chuck Schumer spending agreement with Mike Johnson when you have this on the table that you could do to leverage long-term cuts.
00:13:56.040Russ, where do people get to you today, particularly on Twitter?
00:27:56.620Rosemary Jenks is going to expose the lies and, quite frankly, the treason that's going on in the Senate right now in this border situation.
00:28:04.500And Senator Langford should be embarrassed about this.
00:28:06.900And people in Oklahoma have got to take action on this.
00:29:56.600In times of turbulence for the last 5,000 years of recorded history, gold has been a hedge against those times of turbulence.
00:30:06.240So make sure you go to birchgold.com slash ban and talk to Philip Patrick and the team and find out why gold has been on the march for the last couple of years and why the central banks of the BRICS nation, not the Federal Reserve, but the BRICS nation, are buying gold at record rates.
00:30:18.820Go check it out today, birchgold.com slash ban and right before I go to Rosemary Jenks.
00:30:24.140Why did you join the group yesterday to seize the floor and to block?
00:30:29.900And basically you guys sent a message.
00:30:51.400My reasons are completely different, though.
00:30:53.260My issues are the border and this Ukraine war, this love affair with Washington, D.C.
00:30:59.040We have an opportunity and we have had the momentum going into stopping funding for this Ukraine war, the most corrupt country in the world right now, where American money is being laundered, literally laundered through this war.
00:31:14.660And our money is going into hands and our weapons are going different places.
00:31:19.300If I remember correctly, you have been 100 percent correct on the Ukraine war from the beginning.
00:31:25.180No, I've called it from the beginning, Steve, and it has caused so many problems.
00:31:28.020How do people then come into conference and brief you with this thing of Trump wanting another $60 billion, which next year is going to be another $60, another $60?
00:32:17.460And many of my colleagues buy the talking points.
00:32:20.020If we don't stop Vladimir Putin in Ukraine, he's going to keep going and he's going to take Europe just like Hitler did.
00:32:27.100This is a lie that they tell them over and over again because if you look it up and you really do your research, Putin is not on record saying that he wants to march all the way across Europe and take Europe.
00:33:35.040And, you know, it's getting to the point of I'm wondering who's running in these primaries because it's getting to a point where it needs to stop.
00:33:56.840Why do we have to have an upcoming war with China when if we did it right here with our economy, we would beat China economically, and we can do that.
00:34:06.600And that is exactly how you defeat China.
00:34:09.300We don't have to go to a World War III war level with China.
00:34:16.220In the Red Sea, I spent half of my time at sea in the North Arabian Sea in the Persian Gulf.
00:34:22.980The two-carrier battle groups, still a carrier battle group, under complete assault by Persian proxies to keep the Suez Canal open, which, hey, that's free navigation of orders.
00:35:00.860This woman gets to come and talk about taking over the country, and she's not behind bars.
00:35:05.200How does that – this is the worst – this is the heck on the back are absolutely the worst comments I've ever heard about a person in my life.
00:36:30.060He sex trafficked people from out of the country or just across state lines?
00:36:33.780Prostitutes across state lines and brought them in across state lines, flew them across state lines for sex, filmed videos of having sex with these women, then uploaded the videos on porn websites.
00:36:47.340Did the Secret Service know this at the time?
00:37:13.820I just sent a criminal referral to Governor Kemp and our Georgia Attorney General, Chris Carr, yesterday because allegedly Fannie Willis and her lover, Nathan Wade –
00:37:36.020Mike Davis, the fighter, actually sent me last night and said it was the most brilliant thing he's seen done in this, is your criminal referral of Fannie Willis.
00:37:46.800If our governor and attorney general do not investigate Fannie Willis, then they are literally going to be guilty of turning a blind side to the biggest possible corruption.
00:37:59.980Fannie Willis, it looks very obvious that she colluded not only with the White House because there's evidence that Nathan Wade went up there.
00:38:12.460And then also, there appears to be collusion with the January 6th committee in preparation for prosecuting President Trump and his co-defendants in Georgia.
00:38:22.280And you're going to bring all that forward and hammer all this?
00:40:35.300They have a provision to give taxpayer-funded lawyers to certain illegal alien children and mentally incompetent illegal aliens.
00:40:46.760I'm guessing that number is going to grow as they realize that they get taxpayer-funded lawyers.
00:40:52.620The third bucket is lowering legal standards.
00:40:58.820So just like in California, where if you shoplift under $1,000, it's all fine, and, of course, shoplifting has skyrocketed.
00:41:05.760This says if the number of encounters per day on an average over a seven-day period exceeds 5,000 per day, then we get an extra expulsion authority, but that can only be used for a certain number of days.
00:41:27.200So under 5,000 illegal aliens per day is just fine, but over 5,000 is a problem.
00:41:37.240It is stunning to me, and I don't know if you remember, but in 2019, former DHS Secretary Jay Johnson said that 1,000 illegal aliens per day overwhelms the system.
00:41:48.360So now the standard under this plan is 5,000 per day.
00:42:10.800Rosemary, real quickly, how do people get you a new project?
00:42:13.740You've got to go pretty far in the woods to hit the tripwire where Rosemary Jenks calls somebody traitorous and treasonous.
00:42:21.440You think this rises to that level, what Lankford's been working on behind closed doors?
00:42:28.340This is the theme of the day today, Republicans getting played by Democrats.
00:42:33.160Most of these, the most outrageous demands in this are White House demands that, unfortunately, Senator Lankford is going along with.
00:42:41.200I don't believe that most Senate Republicans will go along with it, but Senator Lankford has gone down a path that he cannot get away from until he just walks away from the deal, and that is what we're encouraging him to do.
00:42:53.920We've actually pinned a tweet on our Twitter account, which is I underscore A underscore project, and it says, Senator Lankford, it's time to walk away from the border deal.
00:43:08.540So we're asking that your audience go to our Twitter page and retweet that at Senator Lankford so that he can hear from people across this country, and particularly if you're in Oklahoma, he needs to walk away now.
00:43:24.180Rosemary, we'll get all your social media contacts.

00:46:51.200That when you came out of that hearing for two days, when they asked you, you were a little bit in shock.
00:46:56.020I mean, it's like, you know, you're trying to kind of get your thing.
00:46:58.520Tell me, what was so bad that you heard in there that led you not to be able to, like, jump on it right away?
00:47:05.980It was actually listening to Dr. Fauci talk about the pandemic and talk about gain-of-function, talking about the research done in those labs.
00:47:15.960And the whole reason, the whole purpose of gain-of-function, according to him, is in order to get ahead of nature, which means play God, actually act like you're God, take the gain-of-function and create viruses so that these lab researchers can create vaccines.
00:47:38.320And then back in 2012, he's written about this for years.
00:47:42.560Back in 2012 in an article, he lays out a scenario that literally happened to all of us where they used the gain-of-function research in a lab, create a virus, create a vaccine.
00:47:53.220Then, oh, no, the virus escapes the lab, and it's the nightmare scenario that happened to the world with COVID-19.
00:48:02.020And he said in his own words that the gains outweigh the risk.
