By several administrations, it has been commonplace when there is an order like this given to see presidents talk about it on camera.
00:00:41.120
There is no plan for President Biden to address us on camera this evening.
00:00:45.140
And that might be because he needs to smooth things over with members of his own party first,
00:00:50.620
because just in the last hour or so, progressive members of Congress, including Ro Khanna, Pramila Jayapal and Mark Pocan,
00:00:58.080
are putting out the word publicly. They think these strikes were illegal.
00:01:02.260
They think they violated the Constitution because President Biden acted on his own.
00:01:07.220
He did not get permission from Congress first. Sean.
00:01:12.200
Well, we've heard past, you know, pinprick responses, like in the case of our troops being attacked in Iraq and Syria.
00:01:19.260
You know, just a few days earlier, think about this, Peter.
00:01:22.320
I was watching your questioning in the in the White House briefing room.
00:01:25.900
We might not have had a secretary of defense if this happened just a few days earlier.
00:01:30.100
But at least we found out the mystery of what was going on there.
00:02:00.100
It's so interesting, you know, that geopolitical dance that is taking place there.
00:02:12.180
Just the Middle East keeps sucking American leaders back.
00:02:15.540
And it's not just the security issues around these Houthi attacks.
00:02:19.960
These boats are now having to go all the way around Africa and the Horn of Africa to get to Europe and to get to America.
00:02:26.880
That jacks up the price of goods and doesn't help with our inflation numbers.
00:02:29.720
Yeah, we've had one foreign policy expert after another over the past decade complaining about the fact that the United States is too focused on the Middle East.
00:02:39.060
You saw the Trump administration saying, oh, we're going to do a peace deal in the Middle East with all these countries.
00:02:49.700
And we're going to push the Palestinian cause to the side.
00:03:05.080
This this has been this has been an ongoing wound since 1948.
00:03:17.200
They're going to have to have a two state solution.
00:03:31.160
Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people.
00:03:43.780
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:03:48.020
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:03:52.740
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:03:58.160
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:04:01.960
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:04:13.780
It's Friday, 12 January in the year of our Lord, 2024.
00:04:22.700
A lot to get to today, including expanding war in the Middle East.
00:04:32.460
Joe Scarborough taking the party line of the crazy left wing and bad and radical left wing
00:04:39.200
Sharia supremacists as they try to drive Israel into the sea.
00:04:48.900
You're usurpers of the rightful rights to the land.
00:04:53.860
I know he's a hammerhead, but he's a dangerous hammerhead because he espouts what the what the
00:05:03.020
I hate it when the Democrats are the voice of reason.
00:05:04.940
As you know, from watching the show, we've been hammering the table for a long time about
00:05:10.540
forcing Biden to the table about war powers because we're essentially in a situation in
00:05:16.560
Ukraine that should the Republicans should have called Biden to the to the table and to
00:05:24.740
And we would have had a logical plan in Ukraine, not just the death of 100,000 Ukrainian troops
00:05:37.200
Right now, this thing is out of control and expanding in the Middle East.
00:05:40.400
And my question, Jack Posobiec, my question, we back the Arabs, the Saudi Arabia, because
00:05:47.940
If Denver could split screen or show the map for us and maybe split screen it.
00:05:51.140
But where we're talking, the Red Sea is basically the entryway to the Suez Canal.
00:05:58.000
It's not about Americans, not about shipping coming to the United States.
00:06:01.720
You have the Royal Navy with a couple of combatants, I think there.
00:06:05.780
Other than that, there's no real focus by Europe.
00:06:10.640
The Saudis have been fighting the Houthi rebels who are Persian backed rebel group in
00:06:14.960
Yemen and can't because they're so incompetent.
00:06:17.840
As much money as we give them, as much arms we give them, the Saudis don't know how to fight.
00:06:22.980
This is the Saudis fight and the Europeans fight, yet the carrier battle groups are the
00:06:28.520
ones under attack and the carrier battle groups are the ones dropping the hammer last night.
00:06:33.120
And I 100 percent agree with the Democrats and not Lindsey Graham and the forever war crowd.
00:06:45.700
Well, Steve, you're exactly right in terms of the War Powers Act that Biden does not have
00:06:52.760
And of course, by the way, this is something that Biden himself said all the way back in
00:07:00.540
We've got Kamala Harris's tweets that they themselves made these statements all the way
00:07:05.720
back in 2020 and 2018 when they were talking about, of course, President Trump.
00:07:10.380
And by the way, so right now, the force lay down, you've got the Eisenhower carrier battle
00:07:15.640
group, carrier strike group operating in the Gulf of Aden that's just off the coast of Yemen.
00:07:22.960
So they had to launch their strikes all the way down from Cyprus, all the way from RAF Air
00:07:30.400
So talking about a 3,000 mile round trip for those fighters and bombers that came down all
00:07:36.420
the way through the Red Sea, the Gulf of Suez, the Gulf of Aden.
00:07:38.780
And of course, astute members or veterans of the U.S.
00:07:43.160
Navy will remember that this is the same area where the USS Cole attack took place the last
00:07:48.760
time the United States almost lost a destroyer, which was right there in Amman, just next to
00:07:55.460
And so this question, excuse me, Ovan, and this question of why are we so focused on the
00:08:02.740
People need to understand this is the flow of oil.
00:08:05.780
The flow of oil now to the Persian Gulf, from the Persian Gulf, through the Gulf of Aden,
00:08:15.560
This is the connection between Ukraine, between Russia and all of this to what we're seeing
00:08:23.040
No, they don't need a Navy to be able to do this because we've made ourselves completely
00:08:35.500
So you've got BRICS, which is the response to the G7.
00:08:39.680
They just added Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
00:08:46.060
That's every single country in the region is now siding economically against the United
00:08:55.020
China's looking out and has come down and condemned these attacks.
00:08:59.220
And so in a post-October 7th world, now keep in mind, the Houthis have been bombed for
00:09:07.180
The Saudis have been bombing them into oblivion for a very long time.
00:09:10.540
There are strikes that are going on in the Obama administration.
00:09:13.460
But in a post-October 7th world, in a post-Ukraine world, all of the quote-unquote Pax Americana,
00:09:21.720
which supposedly existed beforehand, is crumbling and falling apart.
00:09:25.500
You're not going to get the Arab nations to back this now.
00:09:30.080
You know, Saudi's been awfully quiet about this.
00:09:33.020
You notice all of our normal partners have been awfully quiet about this.
00:09:36.860
And oh, by the way, I thought that Biden was going to put together a coalition.
00:09:40.080
Yeah, the coalition is down to two nations in the Red Sea.
00:09:44.080
And CNN is up there just blatantly lying to us that Lloyd Austin is directing the airstrikes
00:09:51.600
I don't know if you saw that, Steve, that CNN actually claims that a source in the Pentagon
00:09:55.880
is telling him that Lloyd Austin is sitting up in his bed like he's playing Risk, you know,
00:10:00.820
while he's hooked up to the heart detector saying, oh, yeah, we're going to bomb here.
00:10:12.680
They want to drive us into an unavoidable war with Persia.
00:10:17.660
And we've talked about this here on this program for a long time.
00:10:21.500
The strategic choke points are what are being used as an entree into this because they're
00:10:25.620
going to turn around and say, well, you know, the Houthis wouldn't have been able to do this
00:10:30.200
And Hamas wouldn't have been able to do their attack if it wasn't for Iran.
00:10:33.380
Lindsey Graham is already out there calling for this.
00:10:35.480
Rand Paul, I commend him, by the way, who's just started a new Never Nikki pack.
00:10:39.320
I think that's fantastic to block Nikki Haley from hopefully from winning anything in the
00:10:45.860
I don't think she will, but also keeping her off the ticket.
00:10:48.960
Rand Paul, it's something, you know, maybe, maybe take a look at the ticket there.
00:10:51.720
I think we could use, I think President Trump could use him in his wing and less of Lindsey
00:10:57.640
And it's been their goal for a long time, for 20 years.
00:11:03.880
They want the United States to be plunged further into now a Middle Eastern conflict.
00:11:13.460
And oh, by the way, Taiwan's got a huge election coming up.
00:11:19.860
No, this is, look, you can't have two people that are more dedicated to the free navigation
00:11:26.440
of the oceans than Jack Posobiec and Steve Bannon.
00:11:29.200
Jack, you were in the Naval Intelligence Officers for many, many years.
00:11:36.460
But what I'm not in for is why is it always the United States?
00:11:42.120
For instance, let's be blunt in that it's reported at MSNBC.
00:11:51.320
This is oil and goods and materials from Asia going up through the Cis Canal to Europe.
00:11:58.080
And next week, Jack, before I go to break and I want to hold you through, I've got Ben
00:12:01.420
Harno and Rome, we've got the World Economic Forum.
00:12:05.980
And one of the central things they're talking about is all the problems with extreme weather
00:12:09.260
and climate change and also the global problem with misinformation.
00:12:13.680
Misinformation would be, you know, what they named Natalie Winters misinformation for last
00:12:20.000
You know, Brookings said we were the biggest show of misinformation and disinformation.
00:12:26.440
The guys at Davos are going to be there to ski resort with all the world's elites, all
00:12:34.220
The top 10% control 93% of the assets in the world.
00:12:39.300
They're sitting there while kids out of Norfolk, Virginia, men and women out of Norfolk, Virginia
00:12:46.980
Look, the Brits flew in a couple of planes from Cyprus, 3,000 miles, because they don't
00:12:52.300
And I think you got one or two Royal Navy destroyers.
00:13:02.520
The Suez Canal is about connecting Europe to Asia, not the United States, not the United
00:13:09.420
And the Saudis, by the way, the Saudis came out yesterday and condemned the attacks on their
00:13:14.180
The Saudis, the incompetent Saudis, where are these Saudis?
00:13:20.480
They're putting money in all over the place to make more money.
00:13:31.780
And not one senior Republican has condemned this.
00:13:36.940
What I've been saying, you've got to get Biden to come and stop the happy talk and lay out
00:13:43.940
Look, Steve, if I may, right before the break, I've been talking about the danger of drone
00:13:48.560
swarm attacks on U.S. aircraft carriers, U.S. destroyers.
00:13:56.320
The Houthis are doing this because they want to deplete our ammunition in the area.
00:14:00.920
We've got reports that some of the destroyers, U.S. destroyers there have gone Winchester.
00:14:08.380
OK, when you're sending up a million dollar missile against a $5,000 flying lawnmower with
00:14:13.840
a bomb on it, OK, who's going to win that fight financially?
00:14:17.220
And then what happens when you can't carry out your unwraps, your underway replenishment
00:14:23.440
Now you've got problems because they're going to send up a drone swarm as well as undersea
00:14:28.900
And when the Slava Moskva, that cruiser went down in the Black Sea, that should be a warning
00:14:35.920
They're coming for us and they're coming for our sailors.
00:14:45.760
A note to the audience, the House leaves in about 15 minutes for the weekend.
00:14:50.360
Are you knocking off for the weekend at 1045 in the morning?
00:14:59.620
As we head toward a presidential election in November, one thing you can be sure of,
00:15:08.380
How will your hard-earned savings fare during this year?
00:15:12.000
You're already seeing the impacts of inflation at the pump, the grocery store.
00:15:16.360
The dollar continues to lose buying power quicker than your wages can increase.
00:15:24.240
Consider diversifying with gold from Birch Gold Group.
00:15:27.600
For decades, gold has been the choice of investors and central banks to hedge against inflation.
00:15:34.360
Now, you can own it in a tax-sheltered IRA with the help of Birch Gold.
00:15:43.400
Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on gold.
00:15:47.200
They'll help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold.
00:15:53.040
And the best part, you don't have to pay a penny out of pocket.
00:15:57.280
With an A-plus rating, with the Better Business Bureau, thousands of satisfied customers,
00:16:03.860
Text Bannon to 989898 to claim your free info kit.
00:16:21.480
Okay, Basovic's going to hang with us for a moment.
00:16:27.320
Ben Harnwell, you've got a very astute observation here about this fiasco.
00:16:36.200
Well, really, my point here is just building off the back of Parso's excellent introduction to this situation,
00:16:41.780
where he mentions, I think quite eloquently, these, I think Jack said,
00:16:45.280
$5,000 flying lawnmowers that the Hooters are commanding.
00:16:49.520
And the figure I picked up was that these things actually cost only $500 to make.
00:16:53.800
So what they've been doing since November, when this really all sort of kicked off in the latest phase,
00:16:58.740
is that the Hooters have been trying to destabilise that whole of the shipping lane
00:17:03.340
from the Suez Canal down to the bottom of the Red Sea.
00:17:06.740
And doing that, they've created billions of dollars worth of damage due to the destabilisation of that shipping trade.
00:17:16.100
Now, the Hooters, and everyone has said that they've been attacking the shipping indiscriminately.
00:17:22.380
That's the precise word they're using, indiscriminately.
00:17:25.200
But the one country whose ships they have failed to hit so far is that of China's.
00:17:31.380
And that really just underpoints the key element here,
00:17:34.520
that the major maritime power that is so far staying back from this for the time being is China.
00:17:41.000
And I think this sort of really underlines the point that Jack was making,
00:17:44.960
that perhaps, exactly like Ukraine, perhaps the underlying objective here
00:17:49.480
has always been, as far as China's concerned, to wear down the West first in Ukraine,
00:17:57.860
So that, I think it's reiterated in the last few days before this Taiwanese presidential election,
00:18:04.180
that it hasn't relinquished its desire to take that island.
00:18:08.340
Perhaps the underlying objective here, I say perhaps, I think it's quite clear that this is the case,
00:18:14.120
that China's trying to wear down the West through one forever war after another,
00:18:18.860
to give itself an open door to come in and reunify the island, the Taiwanese island.
00:18:28.240
To Ben's point, the PLA sent out a notification today that they will use,
00:18:34.700
they will not stand for any plan, any games, anything that will disrupt the unification of China with Taiwan.
00:18:45.900
We're going to have Colonel John Mills and everybody on the afternoon shows,
00:18:48.420
wall-to-wall coverage of the Taiwanese election, including tomorrow morning on our 10 o'clock show.
00:18:55.880
They've used the Houthi rebels who they're in business with, with Persia, because they back the mullahs.
00:19:00.760
They've got a handful of rebels that are launching drones.
00:19:03.880
You know, you said a lawnmower with a rocket at American battle groups.
00:19:10.340
You know, you've got Joe Scarborough pontificating, oh, we spent too much time on China.
00:19:15.740
And settlers, his comment about settlers, about the Israelis being settlers,
00:19:20.220
right into the left-wing meme about Americans, our pioneer ancestors, the frontier ancestors,
00:19:29.060
that we're just settlers here and have really stolen this land from indigenous people.
00:19:37.560
Now, we do have, just talking about carrier force laydown, we do have the Carl Vinson,
00:19:41.720
currently conducting a port visit in Manila and the Philippines, so just across from the Taiwan Strait.
00:19:47.820
And then we have the Washington, which is forward deployed to Yakuska Naval Air State,
00:19:55.500
So we've got two carriers just in, within strike distance of Taiwan at the current moment.
00:20:01.140
Because, look, they understand that China is using the Sun Tzu strategy, all right?
00:20:06.200
This is what, or I should say, the administration doesn't understand this.
00:20:10.120
They're getting people, getting units, getting organizations and extremists
00:20:16.220
that they don't necessarily have to put their fingerprints on to do their work for them,
00:20:22.240
This is the same thing they do with North Korea and traditionally have done with North Korea.
00:20:27.360
They use them like the pit bull on the chain that whenever, you know,
00:20:31.980
China is getting too much heat on them, they go to the North Koreans and say,
00:20:35.660
hey, why don't you launch some shells at one of the islands on the northern limit line?
00:20:38.900
Why don't you launch a couple missiles, lob a few across Tokyo?
00:20:42.140
And then suddenly they'll come in and say, oh, we're going to be the big peacemakers.
00:20:47.280
This is why Trump was working to, and look, let's just drive us all the way back.
00:20:51.760
This is what Trump's policies were when it came to peace.
00:20:54.760
People could say no, no wars, but they say, how did he do it?
00:20:57.260
Because he was able to create regional peace plans within the various hot spots of the world.
00:21:03.380
He went to the Middle East and he signed up the Abraham Accords,
00:21:06.200
and he did that by getting the Arab nations on board,
00:21:08.880
including the Saudis were about to come fully on board and at least recognize Israel for the first time.
00:21:15.080
Next, we know that he, of course, conducted one-on-one diplomacy with Xi Jinping,
00:21:20.080
taking him down to Mar-a-Lago, as well as one-on-one diplomacy for the first time with Kim Jong-un being the first president since the war to set foot in North Korea.
00:21:30.460
And he did so, by the way, without a guard, without secret service there.
00:21:35.580
He went alone into North Korea, the only man who ever did that.
00:21:38.920
So when we look at this policy of the neocons running the Biden administration,
00:21:44.560
I don't believe for a second that Lloyd Austin is sitting in his hospital bed making these decisions.
00:21:49.240
You've got Blinken and you've got Nuland, and it's really Victoria Nuland who is running all of this.
00:21:56.820
She is obsessed with climate change, regime change in the Kremlin.
00:22:01.420
She's obsessed with sending as many Ukrainians to their deaths as it takes because she doesn't actually care.
00:22:07.780
And, oh, by the way, she doesn't actually care about the Americans that are on those bases in Iraq and Syria right now
00:22:13.420
and those American sailors, my shipmates, that are sitting ducks on those destroyers, on those aircraft carriers,
00:22:20.040
on those cruisers operating in the Gulf of Aden right now.
00:22:23.400
Those people are the ones who are going to come under harm's way, but she doesn't care because she's going to continue ratcheting everything up.
00:22:31.620
But, Steve, this is what it comes down to because you've got these Trotskyite neocons that are just obsessed with trying to rule the world.
00:22:39.840
They're the ones that Stalin kicked out, and they're the descendants in many cases of the commies that Stalin kicked out.
00:22:44.460
They're obsessed with these parts of the world and trying to push their rule over it.
00:22:52.240
She says it's time to finish Iran. Finish Iran.
00:22:56.020
How do you think the mullahs are going to respond to that?
00:22:57.960
How do you think the mullahs are going to respond when they hear Nikki Haley going up and up in the polls?
00:23:08.020
She has no earthly idea what she's talking about.
00:23:11.920
I want to go to the forever war Republicans, though.
00:23:14.860
We've had Gates and people criticizing Lindsey Graham because, remember, Lindsey Graham is like McCain.
00:23:20.420
This is a guy supported by the arms manufacturers, the fat cats on Wall Street and Silicon Valley that want the forever wars.
00:23:28.560
Gates and some guys have had some pushback, but it's really been Ro Khanna.
00:23:31.960
And what they're asking for is what this show has asked for from February 22.
00:23:35.780
We need to have Biden come under the War Powers Act and make the case of exactly what's going on here.
00:23:42.620
Ukraine now in on the on the peninsula of Saudi Arabia.
00:23:49.660
We're in a kinetic conflict on the peninsula of Saudi Arabia and the water's right off it.
00:24:00.300
Remember, when you don't have insurance, when you don't have a pension, Nikki Haley's talking about taking away your Social Security and your frickin Medicare.
00:24:07.380
She wants to go to war with Persia and the fat cat donors she has are all going to be over Davos next week skiing and hanging out and having to express those and cappuccinos and talking great thoughts.
00:24:20.940
And none of their kids are on the on those combatants.
00:24:23.480
Jack Posobiec, why are the Republicans not stepping up here and demanding Biden come in under the War Powers Act and make his case?
00:24:31.200
Steve, you've got to understand, Lindsey Graham is getting he's he's he's getting twitchy.
00:24:35.880
He's getting he's almost orgasmic over this because he is going to sit there and finally say this.
00:24:41.160
And by the way, Lindsey Graham, South Carolina, Nikki Haley, South Carolina, one of the key nodes of the military industrial complex in this country.
00:24:49.920
By the way, China's all throughout South Carolina.
00:24:52.760
Qatar is getting in South Carolina with the deals they have.
00:24:55.480
Boeing, of course, comes out of South Carolina with the doors falling off.
00:24:59.380
And I said by I was joking on on X last night, I said, if, you know, if we if we continue to run out of ammo, maybe just send some of the 737 Max Nines over there so they can drop doors on the Houthis.
00:25:09.140
You know, Nikki Haley, this has been their goal.
00:25:12.380
Right. And this is the goal of the donors going into them.
00:25:19.360
This is clear. It's never about winning the war.
00:25:22.100
It's about making the war continuous because these are the people who profit.
00:25:27.620
These are the people who make money off of the fact that war is a racket.
00:25:33.780
And there's so many of them in the Republican side.
00:25:36.520
And I got to say, Steve, I'm just going to say it, particularly in the United States Senate that are making millions and millions of dollars.
00:25:44.000
And by the way, our, you know, our senators and congressmen, they're such cheap dates.
00:25:48.900
I feel like sometimes you look at the amount of money that they're that they're making in terms of political donations.
00:25:58.320
We are sold. We are bought and sold by the military industrial complex, by the Chinese Communist Party, by the Arabs and OPEC.
00:26:06.480
And it's just so silly. And the entire world knows this.
00:26:09.120
The entire world knows that every single politician, for the most part, for the most part, in Washington, D.C., it's just easy to buy them off.
00:26:18.740
You say, hey, Nancy Pelosi, go go make this deal now.
00:26:25.220
Good, good, good. And you're making money. Now you're on track.
00:26:28.360
There's one man who isn't part of that system, who wasn't on Epstein's list.
00:26:34.440
And there's a reason that all of the forces in the world are aligned against him.
00:26:43.200
That's be Donald J. Trump, the 45th and 47th, soon to be 47th president of the United States.
00:26:56.580
Yeah, of course, Human Events Daily will be up there at 2 p.m. this afternoon.
00:26:59.580
We've got a huge show, fighting show today, walking through all this.
00:27:02.580
And, Steve, I know you'll be very, very excited.
00:27:04.480
In about 30 minutes, I'm doing an interview with Le Opinion in Paris, all about Taylor Swift.
00:27:16.600
Posobiec, real quickly, how do people get your amazing – I've gotten so much incredible feedback.
00:27:23.380
When are you going to replay your series on the revolutions?
00:27:30.920
We're going to set up a separate page on humanevents.com so that people can see this.
00:27:35.180
We're also going to be doing a town hall this Sunday night.
00:27:40.380
But with Chronicles of the Revolution, you can find it on Rumble and everywhere else.
00:27:44.140
And we might be doing some more stuff with that.
00:27:55.600
Particularly, we're going to talk about the budget, Ukraine, the border.
00:27:59.700
The Republicans are leaving town, going home, 1045.
00:28:07.280
We're coming to work to sort this mess out next in the war room.
00:28:14.000

00:30:02.760
...partisan spending deal, as Congress has just seven days now to fund the government.
00:30:07.740
A group of conservative Republicans met with the speaker yesterday over issues like the top-line cost of the agreement.
00:30:14.740
While members of the caucus said Johnson agreed to push for a new deal,
00:30:18.260
the speaker himself said he had made no commitments.
00:30:20.840
The framework of that deal, which Johnson agreed to already with Senate Democrats and the White House,
00:30:33.700
So Johnson's now committed to five or six different alternatives.
00:30:37.880
Every time he gets in a room, he commits to something.
00:30:39.660
He's committed with Schumer on a deal that's dead.
00:30:42.020
And then MTG and all the, you know, Eli Crane, everybody, Eli's going to join us here at the top of the hour.
00:30:47.960
They all went in and said, this thing's dead in the water.
00:30:57.740
He's wandering around saying, I'm very confident I'm not going to get blown out of here.
00:31:02.420
Yo, dude, I wouldn't be so confident of anything right now.
00:31:11.760
Now, I'm just going to go, I'm just throwing this out there.
00:31:17.920
You're one of these super devout evangelical Christians, and that I admire you.
00:31:22.620
You've got to go read the, if the biblical worldview, go dive into the Bible.
00:31:29.020
The one thing you see there is, and maybe even after the Bible, after the New Testament,
00:31:35.140
the Acts of the Apostles, and then go into the saints, particularly the first century,
00:31:39.160
second century, third century, saints of the church, the beginning years.
00:31:47.480
And courage means in the defining moment, you have to step into conflict.
00:31:59.260
They announced last night we've had a half a trillion dollar deficit, half a trillion
00:32:04.420
dollar deficit in the first quarter, the first quarter of the fiscal year.
00:32:11.360
We're on track for at least a $2 trillion deficit.
00:32:14.600
And you're sitting there talking about $16 billion.
00:32:16.300
Well, you know, I only control one-third of one-fifth of one-ninth of one-one-hundredth.
00:32:31.000
You think up up there on the stone wall at Gettysburg when Pickett's Charge coming at
00:32:34.820
them, 15,000 wildcats are coming with them, battle flags.
00:32:42.940
Anytime in American history, what do you think they've had?
00:32:49.460
I don't want to ever hear, well, when you're running out one-third of one-fifth of one-ninth.
00:32:56.680
You got all the leverage in the world if you have the titanium stones to say, hey, guess
00:33:02.140
If you're going to have an invasion on the southern border, if you're going to spend money
00:33:04.500
like crazy, if you're going to do this, hey, your illegitimate regime is going to shut
00:33:08.940
You can suck on this because we are the House of Representatives, and I am Speaker of that
00:33:13.820
Empowered by the Constitution of the United States and the founding fathers of this nation.
00:33:21.400
I don't need to hear your wimpy, and anytime, hey, let me give you another buzzword.
00:33:26.300
Anytime this guy says, we're looking for policy wins.
00:33:28.840
No, we're looking for massive cuts in spending to save the nation, and policy wins with it.
00:33:34.300
Don't, you're not going to, you're not going to bait and switch this audience.
00:33:40.700
You go on Fox, on TV for stupid people, and sit there and go, when he got 16 billion in
00:33:46.940
cuts, we moved 10 billion in IRS money, and we moved another 6 billion of previously designated
00:33:59.840
Grace Chung, and then put it up, I think it's six days worth of interest.
00:34:04.940
The interest is going to be a trillion dollars.
00:34:09.760
Stop going home at 1045 in the morning with nothing done.
00:34:14.420
I don't want to hear, oh, you know, you're going to come back.
00:34:19.960
Where were your asses over the three weeks of Christmas?
00:34:25.160
You would love to take three weeks off, spend it with your family.
00:34:29.020
Maybe at two weeks, you say, hey, should I go back to work?
00:34:33.160
You people are going to go down in history as nothing but a bunch of disgusting wimp losers.
00:34:41.500
In fact, you're not even going to be remembered by history.
00:34:43.940
You're not even going to be remembered by history because you weren't in the fight in the moment
00:34:49.220
And we know the only reason you're scared now is because this audience, 202-225-3121,
00:35:05.660
And, of course, Dave Brackard, people are calling up.
00:35:07.220
He says, you know, donors have these guys call Bratton.
00:35:11.820
Look, dude, before you can reconstruct it, you got to stop it.
00:35:27.900
And they're going to come back and they want you to knock on doors.
00:35:31.380
Hey, you tell them before I give you a penny, before I work a phone bank, before I walk a precinct,
00:35:35.920
before I do anything, before I go to a town hall, I want to know one thing.
00:35:38.860
What have you done in this moment of the nation's crisis?
00:35:45.040
You're going to pass this abomination, and are you going to shut down the border of the invasion of our country?
00:35:51.360
Because shutting down the border is the easy part.
00:35:54.460
And then you got to make up for all the destruction they've done to the country.
00:36:02.220
How many of those folks are coming up through the border?
00:36:04.360
You have no idea what they're bringing into the nation.
00:36:11.060
But, and you have the, and the gall, Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis sit up there the other night,
00:36:23.720
That's to get your eye off the ball of the massive tax increases for the super wealthy.
00:36:32.620
I can get 80% of the people united in one thing, tax the wealthy.
00:36:39.720
They're the ones giving all the money to NGOs, all the progressive Democrats.
00:36:44.200
That's why the progressive Democrats never tax the wealthy.
00:36:57.440
Citicorp would now say, you know, Larry Fink, Mr. Big Shot, he lays off, what, a cut?
00:37:03.040
Today, Citicorp announces a labor force, I think, of 220 or 200.
00:37:10.100
They announced 60, they're going to get rid of 60,000 people.
00:37:21.220
How's that economy working out for you, Citicorp employees?
00:37:25.460
By the way, people in South Carolina, Jack just went over.
00:37:28.160
The folks in South Carolina are among the greatest patriots in this nation.
00:37:39.620
And now he's going to have more kids because the defense conjurers, this guy keeps winning.
00:37:51.300
Well, hey, I was on a destroyer off the coast of Persia, right?
00:37:55.680
During the run-up and the work-up to the hostage crisis that came later.
00:37:59.860
The hostage, you know, remember that not—we were there for the hostage crisis,
00:38:02.460
but the Carter's plan to get him out didn't go so well, right?
00:38:13.460
There's a map I saw today, put the Middle East, all of it, over the United States.
00:38:19.220
I think the attack we were going to do is going, like, from Chicago to New York City
00:38:29.760
Before you go and put people in harm, it's the way you've got to know what you're going to do,
00:38:32.500
and you've got to have the commitment to see it through.
00:38:34.500
And where are—when you see Davos and all those big shots, you know,
00:38:38.200
drinking the cappuccinos and the expressos and on CNBC,
00:38:41.140
and they've got the $5,000 ski suits, and they're thinking great thoughts
00:38:45.640
and talking great thoughts about artificial intelligence and how the world's going to be,
00:38:49.520
the knitted brow, and they're sitting there thinking, you know,
00:38:54.380
Hey, are they paying for ships that are down in the Red Sea right now,
00:38:58.480
protecting the Suez now, trying to keep it home?
00:39:00.220
Are their sons and daughters—are their kids on those Navy combatants out of Norfolk, Virginia?
00:39:08.980
I don't see—and if you see them, it's onesies, twosies.
00:39:12.060
NATO, you're supposed to be—we're supposed to be an alliance.
00:39:14.300
Hey, last time I looked, the Suez Canal's your deal.
00:39:23.780
bending knee about helping you with the Houthis,
00:39:26.640
helping you with—because you couldn't defeat a bunch of rebels up in the mountain with RPGs.
00:39:31.520
Your advanced military was getting their ass kicked all the time,
00:39:39.440
If the Saudis got it and the Europeans won't send anybody, hell with them.
00:39:43.880
It's time you've got to start putting America first.
00:39:46.500
It's time you have to start putting American citizens first.
00:39:50.540
And the Republicans worry about the War Powers Act.
00:39:53.320
Why can't we demand—you have to have Roe Kihana lead you?
00:39:58.620
Roe Kihana's going to run for president of the United States one day.
00:40:00.840
He's out there in Ohio talking economic nationalism.
00:40:07.020
But he's up there right now doing what you should do.
00:40:10.400
Demand Biden come to the House and lay out a plan.
00:40:18.040
By the way, note to self, lead story in the Hill.
00:40:21.560
Any changes to the border at all got totally rejected.
00:40:32.820
And Lankford, you know, one of the reasons is that Rosemary Jenks came on here, one of the most honest and smart people in this movement who's been doing this for 30 years.
00:40:42.440
And she called out Lankford as a traitor, as a traitor for what he was doing on his basically exacerbating the invasion.
00:40:59.280
They're going to come back next week with the Houthis.
00:41:03.160
But Ukraine can't get any more of their own people to fight.
00:41:07.240
The working class, the little guy over there is tired of having his sons and daughters thrown into the charnel house.
00:41:17.260
How much of your personal money is going to Ukraine?
00:41:19.200
How much of your country's money is going to Ukraine?
00:41:24.380
Only what they're forced to do to the United States.
00:41:56.060
You see anybody else patrolling the South China Sea?
00:42:00.360
Yeah, they'll throw up one or two ships for optics.
00:42:03.140
No, I'm talking about bringing the heat and bringing the muscle.
00:42:13.460
So don't sit here with your high talk and all your, you know, everything.
00:42:19.700
Force Biden to come to the House and tell us exactly what in the hell this feckless, hapless, illegitimate hack has got in mind.
00:42:32.760
Are we just going to start shooting up everywhere?
00:42:38.380
That's why he thought he had their authorization for it.
00:42:42.060
We can have the second hand of the National Command Authority and nuclear weapons in every attack be out of the loop.
00:42:51.800
The Armed Services Committee rolls over and gets their belly scratched all the time.
00:43:12.480
Shut this illegitimate regime down before it does any more damage to the citizens of this country, our nation, its sovereignty, and the rest of the world.
00:43:30.260
I'm tired of the I'm a Christian biblical worldview.
00:43:33.020
Hey, dude, you keep saying I'm a Christian with biblical worldview and doing what you're doing,
00:43:36.640
you're going to have the biggest conversions to Islam ever.
00:43:39.860
Because they're going to say, if that wimp is that what a Christian man is, I'm going to try the other thing.
00:43:52.400
We'll get the update on it when we return in a moment.
00:43:54.700
Are you tired of progressive corporations and exhausted trying to keep up with all the virtue signaling when you're simply trying to buy products?
00:44:12.480
Progressive corporate America continues to push messaging that further alienates conservative Americans, all while eroding the future of the American dream.
00:44:25.540
Companies like Starbucks, strong-arming their customers to support abortion.
00:44:30.420
Financial services like PayPal, canceling customers for their political views.
00:44:34.960
Makeup companies like Maybelline, making a mockery of women by supporting transgender models.
00:44:39.900
And beer companies like Bud Light, forcing gender ideology on you when all you want is to enjoy a cold beer.
00:44:47.280
Thankfully, we don't have to fund these companies any longer with our hard-earned dollars.
00:44:58.160

Okay, I've got a lot more to say about this, but Eli Crane is going to be at the top of the hour.
00:46:15.040
We're going to get down to the details of this.
00:46:18.900
The deficit is clearly spinning out of control.
00:46:27.140
Instead of the old what-for, why don't you get into a Socratic dialogue with the young staff or the picture phone call-up and just say, hey, look, I'd like to know – we have a $2 trillion deficit right now that McCarthy cut the deal on.
00:46:41.340
Just tell my head, I'd like to know whatever congressman you're talking to, what's their plan to actually fund that?
00:46:49.220
And then I'd like to know, since next year is going to be $2 trillion also, and we're already into that year where we've got to make that budget, ask them, what are you going to do on that $2 trillion title?
00:47:00.960
By the way, it's going to be $2 trillion in perpetuity.
00:47:19.040
And the staffer will be, hubbada, hubbada, hubbada, hubbada, hubbada, hubbada.
00:47:24.100
And then tell them, hey, if you can't answer it, I want to talk to your boss.
00:47:30.380
When you see them back in the district, get up in the grill.
00:47:49.320
Well, I got very disturbing news, and I'm bringing it to your show, this announcement.
00:48:10.920
Well, as you know, Steve, ever since I've been speaking out on our election platform, since
00:48:16.980
January of 21, they've been attacking my company, MyPillow, with cancel culture, the box stores,
00:48:34.080
I can only say, well, the caucuses are coming on Monday.
00:48:40.180
They know my brand is branded right with our great real president, Donald Trump.
00:48:45.400
You know, maybe it's because I brought Lou Dobbs over to my Lindell TV network this week.
00:48:50.600
But everything is just very alarming and suspicious.
00:49:05.520
You go after a company because your CEO is concerned about helping save our country and secure our election platforms.
00:49:18.360
Explain to the audience, what do you mean you've been canceled by Fox?
00:49:22.320
You give them $100 million a year, at least in the filings, to buy advertising.
00:49:32.320
Our new commercial we're launching, you guys might have seen them over on Newsmax and stuff this last week.
00:49:39.860
And my media buyers, they actually told me Wednesday night, and I've been sitting there,
00:49:45.860
and we've been trying to get to the bottom, why would you do this to us?

You give them hundreds of millions of dollars for those commercials I love.
00:50:04.920
You give them hundreds of millions of dollars, and they're telling you now that, Mike, even though the commercials are entertaining,
00:50:11.460
you can give us hundreds of millions of dollars, but the answer is no.
00:50:14.060
You can't buy – I didn't think you could do that in America.
00:50:18.200
I know the Murdochs are foreigners, but can you not accept people's commercials?
00:50:25.860
I mean, they look at what the boxers did to MyPillow and the shopping networks,
00:50:29.600
and now one of our biggest platforms for them to do that, here's cash.
00:50:36.340
Steve, it's not like it's not their number one product in history or their number one commercial in history.
00:50:41.340
And, like I say, I can only say, is it because we added Lou Dobbs to this week?
00:50:51.880
It's because the more robusty gets better specials.
00:50:57.080
They don't want your – they don't want to platform you in the run-up to – because they're all in for Nikki Haley.
00:51:02.460
They don't want to run Iowa, New Hampshire particularly.
00:51:06.120
Mike, have you given over the course of the history of MyPillow, the 10-year –
00:51:10.140
Have you given Fox – have you given Fox basically a billion dollars, you think, in aggregate of advertising sales?
00:51:16.320
I wouldn't know the number, but I know it's in the hundreds and hundreds of millions.
00:51:21.720
I would say it's somewhere maybe between a half a billion and a billion dollars.
00:51:26.660
Yeah, we were – I think really we're in the number one direct sale advertiser of all time.
00:51:31.280
We've been with them since November of 2014, a partner with them.
00:51:39.400
And realize, you know, people, you know, that I've advertised with, we advertised everywhere.
00:51:46.520
You know, CNN, MSNBC, Fox, you know, we've been doing that every platform, ABC, NBC, CBS, everywhere.
00:51:53.720
And if you remember at the – at one of the – after the cyber symposium, they wouldn't – Fox is the only one that wouldn't let me advertise that.
00:52:03.100
And so, you know, I don't know if – you know, I can only say it's political.
00:52:07.640
I don't know for sure, but it's – I know one thing.
00:52:17.160
I mean, this is – it's a – let's just go destroy my pillow.
00:52:26.900
