Speaker Mike Johnson is trying to tamp down a conservative revolt as tensions flare with hard-right Republicans over his deal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to avoid a government shutdown next week. Stephen K. Bannon: This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:00:00.000Speaker Mike Johnson trying to tamp down a conservative revolt as tensions flare with hard right Republicans over his deal with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to avoid a government shutdown next week.
00:00:12.940He didn't go in with the strongest hand. And what I'm looking for now is a fighter.
00:00:18.080I think it was a massive failure and we had no input into the conversations.
00:00:23.560Do you think Johnson cut a bad deal here with Schumer?
00:00:27.080Now trying to avoid the same fate as Kevin McCarthy, the first speaker ever ousted after he relied on Democrats to help keep the government open.
00:00:36.700Johnson and Schumer cut a deal over the holiday recess to fund federal agencies at an overall level of one point six six trillion dollars, similar to the deal McCarthy and the White House agreed to last May.
00:00:48.860By the time we could even get back into D.C., he had negotiated the terms of our surrender on the issue.
00:01:03.220In protest, 13 hardliners stalled action in the House this week.
00:01:07.620Now those members want Johnson to back away from his deal and seek even deeper cuts while also imposing new immigration restrictions, moves that would almost certainly cause a shutdown.
00:01:19.420I do not want to fund a government that's working against us.
00:01:22.540There's a likelihood we could have a week or two short term, you know, shutdown.
00:01:28.280I think if it's for a short period of time, yeah, that we get these appropriation bills done.
00:01:32.640Johnson telling CNN he is not concerned about his job.
00:01:36.800Are you worried that one of these guys is going to make a move on you?
00:01:39.440No, I'm not worried about that at all.
00:01:40.920I am a lifelong, hardcore conservative.
00:01:43.160I want to get as many policy wins as we can.
00:01:45.940But the reality is we have a small majority.
00:01:47.300Indeed, many furious at the far right, saying Johnson's hands are tied with a razor-thin majority and with Democrats running the White House and the Senate.
00:01:56.360They say the deal includes spending cuts Republicans should tout.
00:02:00.140Seems like you guys are sort of banging your heads against the wall with some of these folks.
00:02:20.540And right now, this negotiation in the House is really between defense hawks, members of the Republican Party who consider themselves defense hawks,
00:02:27.660and members of that far-right Freedom Caucus.
00:02:29.640They are negotiating how they can avoid a government shutdown by next week.
00:02:33.540There are several options that are on the table.
00:02:35.400But, Wolf, if Mike Johnson decides to go a route that breaks from his deal with Chuck Schumer, almost certainly you can expect Democrats to reject that, which will raise real fears about a government shutdown.
00:02:46.780But if Johnson decides to side with Chuck Schumer's, those threats to oust him from the speakership will only intensify.
00:02:52.860How disappointed are you in his leadership right now?
00:02:56.940Well, I don't agree with the announced deal between the Senate and the House that came from the weekend.
00:03:03.080I'm vehemently opposed it publicly and privately.
00:03:15.520It's a ridiculous supposition that you would, that someone who's been a speaker for two and a half months or been the leadership of our, the leader of our party for two and a half months would be treated the same as someone who was in that position for years and is the reason why we needed new leadership.
00:03:36.880This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:06:21.640For your Christian worldview this weekend, Mike Johnson, go read the book of Revelations, the Apocalypse, because that's where we're heading, bro.
00:06:29.340Good news, though, and we're going to go out to Iowa.
00:06:32.000We're going to start in Iowa about this historic.
00:07:26.480I know every man and woman out there with a snow plow is out plowing the roads.
00:07:30.800But just to be safe today, we canceled some of our events, but we've been going the old-fashioned way, working the phones, keeping the enthusiasm up.
00:07:39.320We don't need to do much because the enthusiasm for getting out and making history on Monday is so high here in my home state, the state that I grew up in, in Iowa.
00:07:48.680People are just – they're excited to get out on Monday.
00:07:52.100You know, the media is making a huge deal about the blizzard, about the snow.
00:07:55.700They've dealt with snow here forever in Iowa.
00:08:19.220What are the good folks in Iowa telling us about how they view the 2024 race, how they view President Trump, how they view the current situation of the United States, the current situation of the United States in the world, ma'am?
00:08:29.420Well, they're looking back at how things were going four years ago with President Trump.
00:08:34.840We had had an incredible – you know, his presidency had been incredibly successful.
00:08:48.780And we were watching as our economy was just soaring for every class of person, no matter what your background.
00:08:55.440If you were African-American, Latino-American, Asian-American, man, woman, everybody was doing better under President Trump.
00:09:03.220And now we're looking at the situation where we can't afford mortgages anymore.
00:09:06.720The mortgage rates have doubled or more.
00:09:09.920We're watching the inflation shoot up, and the economy is in shambles under Joe Biden.
00:09:14.300People are having to tap into their credit cards, maxing their credit cards out, pulling money out of their 401k.
00:09:20.060And the people of Iowa remember fondly what President Trump did for them.
00:09:25.720I mean, he created in three years of his presidency 22,000 new jobs, half of them in the manufacturing sector here in Iowa.
00:09:33.820Conversely, Joe Biden has lost over 2,000 manufacturing jobs in Iowa.
00:09:38.180They remember President Trump with the estate tax and how he eliminated that so that farmers could leave their family farm to their son or daughter or grandson.
00:09:47.160And they also remember fondly that he preserved the first in the nation caucus, which is the reason we're here right now.
00:09:55.740And let me tell you, Steve, the people of this great state recognize right now the history that they are going to be making on Monday.
00:10:02.660They recognize this as one of the most important times that they will ever take part in a caucus because this is about the future of our country.
00:10:09.540And the people of Iowa are going to set us off on a trajectory to make America great again.
00:10:14.240Carrie, real quickly, the border has become an invasion of the border that you first really focused on in your campaign for governor.
00:10:26.060The governorship that was stolen from you has become the number one issue in the nation, engulfing the nation's capital about this budget.
00:10:32.540Has the border under Katie Hobbs gotten better or worse in your state?
00:10:43.260No, it hasn't gotten better under Katie Hobbs.
00:10:46.280I mean, honestly, my border plan called Defend Arizona is the plan that every single governor of every single border state should be implementing immediately.
00:10:55.500They should have done it, you know, two years ago.
00:10:57.620And basically, it is taking back control of our border, being a sovereign state, protecting our citizens.
00:11:10.360Abbott put a plan up that's one-tenth of your plan, one-tenth of your plan.
00:11:15.840The federal government went into court today to sue him.
00:11:18.100And he says, hey, we are taking over parks.
00:11:20.880They're now taking over territory on the border as of last night because they said the federal government is exacerbating the illegal aliens coming through.
00:11:28.020Garland filed in court today to sue Abbott.
00:11:37.460Can you imagine the federal government suing a governor for trying to protect his or her citizens?
00:11:44.760It's right there in the U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3.
00:11:49.020And the United States Supreme Court needs to take this up and, with a gentle reminder, let the federal government know, yes, these states do have the ability to protect their citizens,
00:11:59.120especially when the Guarantee Clause, Article 4, Section 4, is being ignored by the federal government.
00:12:07.540This whole problem was caused by Joe Biden going in on day one, hour one, and pulling back a secure border policy that President Trump had put in place.
00:12:17.180All he had to do was let this thing continue rolling on the way President Trump had it.
00:19:23.260We're going to have you back on later tomorrow or Monday to go through this in detail, but I was so blown away by what we saw from the nation's capital about this.
00:19:31.860Walk me through your first initial assessment.
00:19:36.840One doesn't think of congressional hearings as being riveting or highly dramatic or giving you a sense that you're watching history in the making, usually.
00:19:56.640And yes, Marjorie Taylor Greene, whom I was always told when I read Legacy Media, was a crazy woman, did a really impressive job, very stateswoman-like, convening and overseeing.
00:20:08.000She really understood what questions to ask.
00:20:10.880It was so much more than just a hearing about vaccine injury, which by now a lot of people are aware is an issue.
00:20:19.060It was so much more than testimony about people who have had chronic problems or died as a result of these injections.
00:20:27.820The first 45 minutes, I think, are going to go down in American history as a magisterial summary, especially by Dr. McCullough and Dr. Ryan Cole,
00:20:37.340of everything you've heard here over the last two years, but put together in one beautiful explanation for lay people, for non-scientists and non-medical people about exactly how this injection works,
00:20:52.300how it was developed to work, how it harms the body, what we're seeing in the harms to the body, and also what's wrong with the manufacturing process.
00:21:03.140They went into the DNA contamination, they were so well-informed, but what's fascinating and made it so extraordinary is that, you know, an hour in,
00:21:15.860they were putting together these doctors, right, whose job isn't to put together world events or political events.
00:21:22.180They absolutely brilliantly pieced together this fluid, compelling, thoroughly sourced mosaic of all the other bad actors in the landscape who have brought us to this moment.
00:21:37.460They explained the role of Dr. Fauci and what was wrong with his testimony recently, and they explained the role of the illegal experimentation on gain-of-function research under Peter Daszak
00:21:52.020that Dr. Fauci enabled and about which he had lied, I don't think that's too strong a word at this point, to Senator Paul, you know, in Congress previously in 2022, I believe.
00:22:04.060They went into the role of the World Health Organization.
00:22:07.060They went into sovereignty and what's going to happen via public health and using medicine or illness or the next pandemic, which they warned were being alerted about by, you know, these people driving these global events.
00:22:23.720They spoke about how the World Health Organization treaty is going to basically establish or solidify a coup worldwide using public health as a proxy, right, which we know is true.
00:22:38.860But they were extraordinarily persuasive from a doctor's point of view about how that would unfold.
00:22:44.040And they went into, I mean, one of the most amazing moments, I have to say, like literally edge of my chair, so much of it, but they named names.
00:22:54.960They've lost so much, but they, you know, went right into the belly of the beast.
00:22:59.780There's there is nothing like there's nothing left of their old world that they could go back to after this hearing if they even wanted to do that to our benefit, because Dr. McCullough, especially named names about, you know, why other physicians are silent.
00:23:17.560And they talked about the $40,000 bribe or bonus, I'm sorry, that was a slip of the tongue, that doctors got for getting a certain percentage of their patients vaccinated.
00:23:31.200And I got so many emails and texts from people saying, oh, now it all makes sense.
00:23:37.540They talked about how doctors and they were prompted, right?
00:23:41.420They were asked, why are doctors silent?
00:23:43.320And they talked about fear of litigation that and they explained things that, you know, that helped me understand better as a non-physician.
00:23:53.240The landscape that we're seeing, so many doctors are silent even now while they are concerned about liability and they're in a state of fear.
00:24:27.920The first hour, everybody in this audience ought to get the people that have mocked and ridiculed you to just sit with you for an hour with a cup of Warpath coffee and just watch it.
00:24:38.700Naomi, you're a communications expert.
00:24:39.940What we're going to do is we've got to figure out maybe this weekend, because Davos kicks off, I think, on Monday.
00:24:45.560And if I can grab you and maybe MTG and Dr. Latipo and others, and maybe we get commentary, we're going to try to play it again and maybe even break it down a segment.
00:25:09.620And, in fact, I have a special gift for your audience.
00:25:12.900I reached out to Dr. McCullough before the event via his colleague John Leak, and he has a special quote for the War Room.
00:25:20.420Quote, the dark truth – this is an exclusive.
00:25:23.160The dark truth about the origin of SARS-CoV-2 and the closely related development of mRNA vaccines cannot remain concealed.
00:25:31.640As Shakespeare famously wrote, truth will out.
00:25:35.380The representatives of this great legislature must urgently embrace truth for the American people instead of trying to ignore and obfuscate in the service of special interests.
00:26:32.600And it's also true that the research they produced under your oversight and this POSSE support was used in the hearing, at least the findings that they brought forward.
00:30:10.620You've got them shaking under their boots, but we'll get more focused on this tomorrow morning on our 10 o'clock show as we break the news of what's happening in Taiwan.
00:30:18.480David and Nancy Flynn are going to join me later in the 6 o'clock hour for more detailed breakdown.
00:30:23.580But real quickly, I want to make sure people in the 5 o'clock can get it, too.
00:30:27.380You guys have worked on a solution, a three-part solution.
00:31:10.640All kinds of science and information there.
00:31:12.620You know, it's real science, not manufactured fear.
00:31:16.440It's important, you know, if people want to start and learn about our protocol there, or if they just want to go there and start their journey of discovery, what's important is that, you know, you and everyone you care about, everyone that's listening does something to start protecting your health today.
00:31:32.220Because, you know, what we heard today, you know, the facts are in, jabbed, unjabbed, it doesn't matter.
00:31:38.060We've all got this garbage in our body, and it's just death by a million cuts.
00:31:42.480I've got to tell you, Steve, I even wrote down some thoughts here, because I was just so upset watching this.
00:31:47.560It's so clear that we've all been lied to, the public's been manipulated, lies about masking, lies about social distancing, and, you know, how they hid all the damage that these shots were doing to us.
00:31:59.100And I've got to tell you, I'm mad as hell.
00:32:00.520This is Big Pharma took my son for me 17 years ago.
00:32:04.020We've been fighting this journey ever since then.
00:32:06.880And, you know, in some ways, that just gave us clarity so that we had a front-row seat.
00:32:11.220We saw exactly what these monsters were doing.
00:32:13.900And now some food has come out, you know, we helped him quite a bit, and now we're at the spot where we can, you know, we can help.
00:32:20.740What I love is what you've done, is what, like Dr. Sean's done at Jace, you took a problem and you came up with a solution.
00:32:29.120Let's, one more time, where do they go?
00:32:30.520And we'll see you back here at 6 to break down the hearing.
00:33:59.940So they take those two things, they merge them together, and voila, you've got this kind of story.
00:34:04.800But, you know, honestly, Steve, it's not a surprise to me that Christians support overturning Roe v. Wade, that Christians support strong, secure borders, that Christians support moving the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
00:34:18.800I mean, they itemized some of these things in that article, and it's kind of like, yeah, I mean, this is why we supported Trump.
00:34:26.220This is why we supported him the first time.
00:34:28.600And, you know, so it just it's mind-boggling to me that they are somehow aloof or not aware that people are believing in this and people are supporting this.
00:34:39.020So, you know, what a way to kick off 2024.
00:34:43.700Let me – there's – look, it's fascinating.
00:34:46.660So I've put the – if I haven't put it, I'll get the Axios article up.
00:34:53.480You want to keep up with my thinking, 24-7 go there.
00:34:56.720I'm also going to have the Drudge Mac Daddy because Drudge has deemed it and Drudge is virulently anti-Trump.
00:35:01.920They're trying to thwart or trying to shame the Christians this weekend not to turn out on Monday.
00:35:06.180One of the quotes in there, Sean, I've got to – you know, because you are an entrepreneur, you're touching kids all over the country, young people.
00:35:21.080One of the pastors in there said – and I wanted your observation.
00:35:24.100I thought of you, and that's why I wanted you on the show, is that if you're a Christian, you can't really vote for a Democrat given what they really stand for.
00:36:13.120And, yeah, these hit pieces are going to come.
00:36:15.640This is the first one of the new year.
00:36:17.300I'm sure there will be a zillion more after this.
00:36:19.580But it just goes to show you that we're over the target.
00:36:22.480It just goes to show you the enemy is riled up.
00:36:24.940It goes to show you that he's scared of what's coming this year, that a church is going to rise up with boldness, that a church is actually going to vote for once for crying out loud.
00:36:34.840They're not just going to go to a prayer meeting, but they're going to vote.
00:36:37.020And so, you know, I would encourage all of you out there, join our prayer list.
00:36:40.780We have almost coming up to 100,000 people praying with us every day for America.
00:36:46.060You can text PRAY to 2022.1 right now.
00:40:22.720New York Times, Drudge, Axios, they're all piling in right now this weekend with, oh, the evangelicals, the good Christian people out in Iowa, they're being misled because they have an unchurched barbarian that is leading them.
00:40:35.540And you have all these kind of, you know, questionable, sketchy evangelical leaders are all falling in the back of him.
00:40:42.020And that's leading the poor, naive Christians to their doom.
00:40:45.740Right. Nothing would be further from the truth.
00:40:56.780But the president, you know, this the Manhattan thing, the guy put such restrictions on him about his closing arm.
00:41:01.760President Trump actually wanted to go through at the end and give a reason, detail explanation or summary about why this is ridiculous.
00:41:11.020And having done this for, I don't know, 20, 30 years of my professional life at places like Goldman Sachs and my own firm, everything that President Trump did, it was all normal course of business.
00:41:20.340It was just normal course of business.
00:41:22.460It shows you how crazy they are to stop this movement.
00:41:25.560It shows you how crazy they are to destroy Donald Trump.
00:41:28.380They're going to destroy Donald Trump financially to bankrupt him, to take his company and ban him from doing business again, ban the kids from doing business there.
00:41:36.300They want to put him in prison for 700 years.
00:41:38.920And you see whether it's Fani Willis, her thing's collapsing in Georgia.
00:41:42.760She's actually going to end up going to prison for what she's done with her alleged boyfriend.
00:41:46.500And I say alleged, hey, I tell you who doesn't think it's alleged, that's the wife that she wrecked the home from because she's subpoena finally to come in and testify in her trial.
00:42:35.780But if you don't have that, you're going to get overwhelmed with, I don't know, what will Trump get this time, 80-plus million and have blow it and win 40 states.
00:42:44.620They can't have that because they know the day of retribution, of accountability and responsibility is coming.
00:42:50.660And that's coming on the afternoon of 20, of 20, January of 2025, when President Trump walks back into the White House after the inauguration, after the inauguration address.
00:43:00.260And his team's already, he's got 3,000 people set to go, not like last time, 3,000 people.
00:43:06.340Every billet that's non-Senate confirmed is taken immediately by somebody that knows that their mission is, here's our mission, to deconstruct the administrative state, destroy the deep state, and start to begin the reversal of decline of this republic immediately, and then put the tourniquet on, and then turn it around.
00:43:26.140And guess what? Make America great again. Short break. Back in a moment.
00:43:35.680For War Room veterans, you know we have been all over this supply chain issue with China and medications and the active pharmaceutical ingredients.
00:43:47.220China has a stranglehold on us where there's a way to break that.
00:43:51.320Jace Medical. I got an emergency medication kit from them.
00:43:54.700The FDA just declared a global shortage of medication and warned that critical antibiotics are in extreme short supply across the United States.
00:44:03.240But you know that because you're a viewer or listener of this show.
00:44:08.140Now, here's the action you can take to correct.
00:44:11.100Do yourself and your family a favor and get your Jace case right now.
00:44:15.400It's a pack of five prescription antibiotics you'll have on hand for common emergencies.
00:46:22.000And I had the honor of being there firsthand.
00:46:24.680The impact of President Trump walking into that courtroom for the powerhouse argument on Tuesday on presidential immunity and saying loud and clear that if we don't have presidential immunity, no president will ever be able to do their duty ever again.
