00:00:00.000 A new revelation that the Republican National Committee's anemic fundraising has left it with a paltry $8 million on hand.
00:00:08.640 Not exactly the war chest a major political party needs in an election year,
00:00:12.140 especially considering Democrats have nearly three times as much in their coffers.
00:00:16.320 Speaking to Puck, one RNC member offered this blunt assessment, quote,
00:00:19.960 We're not in as strong of positions we'd like to be. Certainly, fundraising is way below what we've hoped.
00:00:25.440 Puck also reports Trump World is rather unhappy with the state of affairs at the RNC,
00:00:30.520 and they are looking to install a MAGA loyalist at the top,
00:00:33.580 something Steve Bannon openly advocated for earlier this week when he called for the ouster of party chair Ronna Romney McDaniel.
00:00:42.240 Why is Ronna McDaniel and that team over there, they don't want to do it because they understand they're culpable.
00:00:47.460 What in the hell was the RNC doing?
00:00:51.240 They're guilty of a mortal sin against this republic.
00:00:55.440 And that sin is not going to go away until she is removed as the chairman of the RNC.
00:01:11.860 I'm tired of the happy talk.
00:01:13.740 You know why she's got to take out a line of credit?
00:01:16.180 Because you cut her off, right?
00:01:19.640 The war room, I said not another penny, not another 25 bucks or 50 bucks a month, not one cent until they're gone.
00:01:27.460 Okay, now let's just be clear here.
00:01:30.820 The idea that Steve Bannon, too-shirted a strategic genius, is solely responsible for the pitiful fundraising of the committee is laughable.
00:01:38.020 That's not it.
00:01:39.240 But it does remain true the MAGA movement has had it with the RNC, which is ironic for a number of reasons.
00:01:43.860 First of all, because RNC chair Ronna Romney McDaniel is so unabashedly pro-MAGA, she tried to pressure Nikki Haley, Trump's only credible remaining opponent in the Republican primary, to drop out.
00:01:54.740 Only for Trump to then stab McDaniel in the back so he could play benevolent dictator and say that Haley should stay in the race.
00:02:01.120 It's also ironic because Trump, of all people, is partially responsible for the RNC's financial rules, because his super PACs are hoovering up all of the small-dollar donations so he can use them to pay his tens of millions of dollars in legal bills.
00:02:18.100 And to be clear, it is always the case, to some extent.
00:02:20.580 The presidential candidate and their movement controls the purse strings of their respective parties during the election year.
00:02:25.060 But Trump is just on another level, as he subsumes the Republican Party into his own party of one.
00:02:31.400 And you can see the trickle-down effects of this all over the country, as the Republican Party, as a party, destroys itself like a snake eating its own tail.
00:02:39.560 A lot of the problems, it becomes Trump himself is a conspiracy-obsessed maniac who cultivates the most deranged characteristics in his diehard policies.
00:02:49.900 I mean, from time to time, you'll see, like, weird party fights crop up.
00:02:53.280 It's not, you know, and those happen in Democratic parties sometimes.
00:02:56.260 But, like, the sort of full-spectrum nuttiness and fighting from state to date.
00:03:01.760 Again, in states that are going to be really crucial for the election, I don't think I've ever seen anything like it.
00:03:08.620 Yeah, I mean, here's what's crazy.
00:03:10.820 Back before Donald Trump took everything over, he was the crank.
00:03:14.860 He was like the head crank in charge, and he was surrounded by lots of other cranks.
00:03:19.420 But the voters wanted him, and normal Republicans sort of eschewed him and wanted to walk away from him.
00:03:25.980 But what has happened over the last seven years is the total inverse of that, the reverse of it.
00:03:31.120 So right now, Donald Trump now is surrounded by people like Susie Wiles and Chris Lasavita and has real people around him.
00:03:39.020 But he has stacked the rest of the party with lunatics and cranks, whose only qualification, you just said this, but this was sort of my point, too, is the reason that there's been this brain drain is because the litmus test or the qualifications necessary now to be in the party apparatus is only, are you the most MAGA?
00:03:58.580 Are you the most loyal to Trump?
00:04:00.240 And people who are willing to be, like, in the Cary Lake sort of vein of total sycophant to Trump, those are the people who are rising to the top.
00:04:08.860 But they don't have any real skills.
00:04:11.240 You know, they're not capable of running state parties.
00:04:13.860 They're not capable of making things happen.
00:04:15.820 And so weirdly now, Trump controls the money.
00:04:18.900 He controls the center of gravity.
00:04:20.220 And he's populated by sort of this pygmy colony of weirdos who do nothing but support him.
00:04:25.880 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
00:04:33.820 Pray for our enemies.
00:04:35.760 Because we're going medieval on these people.
00:04:39.060 Here's the time I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:04:43.320 The people have had a belly full of it.
00:04:45.220 I know you don't like hearing that.
00:04:46.400 I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
00:04:49.360 It's going to happen.
00:04:50.640 And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:04:54.040 MAGA Media.
00:04:54.960 I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:05:00.820 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
00:05:04.560 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.
00:05:10.960 War Room.
00:05:11.780 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
00:05:20.900 It's Friday, 2 February in the year of our Lord, 2024.
00:05:23.760 Welcome to the War Room, Pygmy Colony of Weirdos.
00:05:30.120 That's a new one.
00:05:30.880 Is that politically correct enough to be used on MSNBC?
00:05:34.340 I guess we'll have to check that out.
00:05:35.600 Steve Hayes, walking through, doesn't like the MAGA takeover of the RNC.
00:05:40.660 Should be news out today.
00:05:43.060 Rumor has it.
00:05:43.760 We'll have to see.
00:05:44.480 Like I said, no more money.
00:05:47.540 We don't take full credit for the RNC being broke, but I will take credit for the War Room
00:05:54.380 posse, who is known as being quite generous, right?
00:05:59.280 But a lot of discernment, they have not given her a penny.
00:06:03.200 And that's put a big dent in it.
00:06:04.260 And not going to give a penny.
00:06:05.640 Don't care.
00:06:06.160 All this talk about they're going to layer, they're going to be all these kind of things.
00:06:08.940 That's fine.
00:06:09.820 Layer all you want.
00:06:10.800 Do everything you want.
00:06:11.880 Until she's gone and the people around her in her inner circle are gone, not another penny.
00:06:17.600 So we'll see how they do take a bigger credit line out.
00:06:19.940 You know, hock more stuff.
00:06:21.240 They're supposed to be hocking your data right now, you know, barring against the data,
00:06:25.440 barring against the building, all of it.
00:06:30.340 I want to get to the key point there is that they're saying, oh, well, President Trump,
00:06:38.260 you know, he's hoovering up all the things for his legal.
00:06:40.880 He did spend $50 million illegal.
00:06:42.740 This was the point, the center of gravity of my talk the other day at Charlie Kirk's amazing
00:06:50.280 restoring national confidence.
00:06:51.660 And if the RNC had workshops like that and conferences like that with these dedicated
00:06:57.560 county chairman, dedicated precinct strategy folks that are just incredible, giving of
00:07:07.280 their country, to their country, giving to the Republican Party, giving to the MAGA movement.
00:07:11.880 And they say they've been disrespected.
00:07:13.600 They say they've been disrespected by the RNC.
00:07:16.660 They've been fought by the RNC.
00:07:17.820 It's still the same country club.
00:07:19.240 And of course, you've got the red state analysis that shows that the spending hasn't changed
00:07:23.260 at all.
00:07:23.520 I mean, they've got the charts that show the DNC is putting their money where they need
00:07:28.900 to in order to try to win.
00:07:31.960 And the RNC is still doing flowers and limos and, you know, and private planes and expenses
00:07:37.440 and paying, you know, some guy $26,000 a month, of which, by the way, that resolution never
00:07:43.200 even got it brought up.
00:07:44.160 That shows you how lack of interest the leadership over there has.
00:07:48.200 President Trump, remember, we wouldn't have any of this if President Trump hadn't come
00:07:53.420 back and trying to save his country.
00:07:55.580 This is why they're trying to take his business from him in New York in an update.
00:07:59.740 That judge has said now it's going to, he's missed the 31 January date.
00:08:03.140 He is going to be mid-February.
00:08:05.460 I would not take that immediately as a win.
00:08:08.840 There could be some very nefarious things going on behind the scenes.
00:08:12.400 I think Weisselberg, the former CFO, is in some sort of talks with a prosecutor about
00:08:17.620 something else.
00:08:18.200 So don't take that as a victory.
00:08:19.340 But it is that he did miss the deadline.
00:08:22.320 President Trump is looking for new lawyers on the appeal of the outrageous $88 million
00:08:27.000 or $83 million, whatever it is, outrageous defamation suit.
00:08:31.480 Of course, they've taken off the calendar.
00:08:33.740 Jack Smith's, you know, oh, it's going to start March 4th, start March 4th, start March 4th.
00:08:37.660 I think MSNBC has been probably more wrong about Trump's legal and what's going to happen
00:08:45.340 with Weisselberg and these guys up there lying every day about what's going to happen
00:08:49.180 than they have been about Ukraine.
00:08:51.580 It's close.
00:08:53.020 But MSNBC has been just so dead wrong on so many things, including the return of President
00:08:58.200 Trump and the rise of the MAGA movement, of which now they've hit full panic mode.
00:09:02.960 Fannie Willis says she's not going to back down.
00:09:05.280 Fannie Willis, they're going to get, you know, this is moving between Colton Moore,
00:09:10.580 others on that committee, but also people putting pressure to get the attorney general
00:09:14.360 to bring, you know, a panel of grand jury.
00:09:17.200 Hers is falling apart.
00:09:18.180 South Florida you don't hear about anymore.
00:09:20.160 That's taking more time.
00:09:22.120 It's the immunity doesn't come to the Supreme Court, I think, until next week or the week
00:09:27.200 after.
00:09:28.160 They may not rule on that until June.
00:09:29.840 So the craze Jack Smith, it looks like it's going to be bumped into the summer and then
00:09:35.360 it's going to be, then it is direct election interference.
00:09:37.780 I mean, it's, it's election interference now, but then it's up in your face.
00:09:41.020 Won't be able to have the trial.
00:09:43.780 But the reason he's got to raise his money is because of all that.
00:09:46.900 And that is why there shouldn't have been a primary.
00:09:50.360 The RNC, the, the, the mortal sin of the RNC is not at the senior level, accepting the
00:09:55.660 fact, irrefutable fact that the 2020 election was stolen.
00:10:00.780 That's the railhead of everything coming forward.
00:10:03.860 In American history, it'll, it'll, it'll be, it'll be determined that that is that Trump
00:10:08.460 had the election stolen in 2020 and then returned against all odds, against all odds to win an
00:10:14.720 even a bigger comeback than the 2016, uh, victory over the Clintons.
00:10:20.060 And so for the second time, beat the globalist, you know, party apparatus for the second time
00:10:24.980 against all odds with everybody arrayed against him.
00:10:29.060 He did it.
00:10:30.400 And in this, Ronna McDaniel and the people around her put on a phony, a phony primary,
00:10:36.320 which is a vanity project, really a vanity project for a lot of the billionaires.
00:10:40.100 They want to see that they're kingmakers, right?
00:10:41.900 I'm going to write Ron DeSantis a big check and he's going to be a kingmaker.
00:10:45.720 You do realize that, that Elon Musk, all the Elon Musk fanboys out there, the Elon Musk
00:10:50.020 dangled, uh, in front of, um, in front of Ron DeSantis and his wife, Casey, he dangled
00:10:56.060 a hundred million dollar contribution, right?
00:10:58.820 He's always running around saying, I'm going to donate a hundred million dollars, a hundred
00:11:01.680 million dollar contribution until they had that fiasco.
00:11:06.260 That's the reason that DeSantis, DeSantis did that ridiculous open, you know, of his campaign.
00:11:11.900 Well, the hundred million dollars faded away as a bunch of bayoners realized the vanity
00:11:15.980 project was blowing up on him.
00:11:17.120 Remember, 350 million dollars.
00:11:19.340 I think they announced yesterday DeSantis has spent 160 million dollars.
00:11:23.740 Every penny of that, every penny of what the RNC spent on the other 350, every penny of
00:11:28.200 what Nikki Haley's raising is going to continue to raise.
00:11:30.380 All of that money is a massive opportunity cost could have gone into securing the election.
00:11:36.640 Talk about Christine Caramo and the fight up in Michigan.
00:11:39.740 Talk about Jeff DeWitt and the big fight out in Arizona.
00:11:42.100 Talk about what Chris Hayes is saying.
00:11:43.780 Oh, they got these crackpots and cranks and the woman, the woman female calls you a pygmy
00:11:48.840 colony, a pygmy colony of weirdos.
00:11:52.240 Is the diversity police over MSNBC, did they let that go down or is she now banned forever?
00:11:58.460 Pygmy colony of weirdos.
00:11:59.860 That would be you folks.
00:12:02.080 Pygmy colony of weirdos that are, to be brutally frank, and a lot of this is the precinct strategy,
00:12:08.760 are strapped for cash.
00:12:09.980 There's no doubt about that.
00:12:10.920 Strapped for cash.
00:12:11.720 In fact, we're talking about right now trying to work with the people, the electors, to
00:12:16.640 do various fundraisers so the electors can get some legal bills paid because people are
00:12:20.760 strapped for cash.
00:12:22.320 Well, think about it.
00:12:22.920 $350 million to date and it'll be $500 million, a half a billion dollars, one half a billion
00:12:28.960 dollars that would have been spent on securing the elections, on doing the logistics and infrastructure,
00:12:35.320 both legal and practical, to get out the vote and to make sure you can ensure the vote.
00:12:39.780 All the legal you would have to fund to be ready on the trigger, like we were in 16 when
00:12:43.980 we scrapped it together with Dom again and we had finalists, we were ready to go.
00:12:47.700 We were ready to close on the victory.
00:12:49.960 And guess what?
00:12:50.640 We closed on the victory.
00:12:52.580 This is what you need to do.
00:12:53.960 But that money, no, that money had to be spent by consultants and the Frank Lentz's of the
00:12:58.300 world and all these big, you know, pollsters and people doing, you know, targeted marketing
00:13:04.920 segments and get out the vote.
00:13:06.820 A half a billion dollars to do what?
00:13:10.340 A half a billion dollars to try to convince MAGA voters, which are 80 or 85 percent of
00:13:16.140 the Republican Party, to try to convince 80 percent that they didn't want to support
00:13:21.320 Donald Trump, that Donald Trump was a bad guy and Donald Trump could not win the presidency.
00:13:25.220 Oh, oops, by the way, morning consult out with another poll shows Trump up all seven
00:13:30.080 battleground states and lead a 48-42 over Biden.
00:13:34.580 But to convince you, spend all the money.
00:13:36.560 Just want to make sure you understand this.
00:13:38.500 That is the mortal sin of the RNC.
00:13:41.940 To fail to understand the depth of people's belief and knowledge and understanding that
00:13:48.100 the 2020 election was stolen, President Trump is our standard bearer and that he is the one
00:13:53.760 that must go back into the White House and right these wrongs.
00:13:56.360 It's just it just there's an internal logic to it.
00:13:59.700 And they play to the worst elements of the donors, donors who hate Trump.
00:14:04.560 And you know why they hate Trump?
00:14:06.320 They hate Trump because of you.
00:14:08.860 Remember, always and everywhere, President Trump puts you in the room in a town where
00:14:14.660 not in the room, not in the deal.
00:14:16.540 He puts you in the room and he puts you at the head of the table.
00:14:20.060 That is a mortal and unforgivable sin to the elites in this country.

00:16:44.880 We want everyone in the War Room to cut off the RNC.
00:16:48.200 We want everybody in the War Room to show up at CPAC because we're going to have,
00:16:52.460 we've got so many events scheduled for War Room Posse members.
00:16:55.660 They're going to be jacked up.
00:16:56.660 The speakers are incredible.
00:16:58.560 Matt, you've got some special announcements today you and Merced has been working on.
00:17:01.820 Can you share them with our audience?
00:17:04.240 Well, since you just came back from this RNC confab, Steve,
00:17:07.560 I think it's very important for everyone to know that CPAC is not neutral on Donald Trump.
00:17:12.240 We're all in.
00:17:13.480 And we are pleased to announce on the War Room with you, Steve Bannon,
00:17:17.340 that Donald Trump is going to break the records and come to CPAC for his 14th appearance next month,
00:17:24.880 February 21st through the 24th, CPAC.
00:17:28.900 He beats the Reagan record.
00:17:30.480 Trump's coming.
00:17:31.500 He's not even letting the South Carolina primary get in the way of him coming and addressing,
00:17:35.900 which he knows is the heart and soul of this whole thing, which is conservative, America first.
00:17:40.880 That's the heart and soul of this whole movement.
00:17:45.080 So he's coming and he's going to give a major address.
00:17:47.620 By the way, you can plot, as I have, the return of President Trump beginning with that CPAC speech he gave a couple of years ago, right?
00:17:58.520 Yeah, or Lando.
00:17:59.220 That was really the beginning of him saying, and Lando saying, hey, not only I'm not going away, I'm coming back.
00:18:06.320 So CPAC has always been a great platform.
00:18:09.060 Do you have a day?
00:18:09.740 Do you anticipate?
00:18:11.020 So CPAC, well, talk about the whole, talk about the series of events on Wednesday night, Thursday, Friday.
00:18:16.560 Everybody, I'm telling you, the tickets are priced right.
00:18:20.000 Schlapp, Mercedes and Matt did this because they want to get as many people as possible.
00:18:23.820 That's right.
00:18:24.180 They've got stuff starting on Wednesday night.
00:18:25.700 We may have some other announcement stuff we're going to also try to augment into the thing.
00:18:30.000 But starting Wednesday night, walk me through Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
00:18:33.700 Yeah, so quickly on the tickets, we usually, for our cheapest ticket, of course, for students, they're dirt cheap.
00:18:38.300 But for us adults, it was about $400 for four days, and we decided to make that $95 for four days.
00:18:45.120 Quite honestly, our fundraising is going very well at CPAC, and we thought, let's do everything we can to subsidize for these grassroots folks so as many people can be there as possible.
00:18:54.240 So I do encourage people, we're almost going to run out of hotel rooms, and these tickets will be at this price only for a short while longer.
00:19:01.760 We're going to have to raise them.
00:19:03.020 So please go to CPAC.org and get your tickets.
00:19:06.460 And Steve's right.
00:19:07.320 Look, Steve, you're right.
00:19:09.120 Wednesday's a big deal.
00:19:09.980 We're having kind of like preseason, but it's going to be as important as anything that happens.
00:19:14.960 Dr. Robert Malone is bringing together something like 400 medical experts and politicians, members of the European Parliament,
00:19:22.080 for a multi-day vaccine summit about all the vaccine mandates and how they're lying to you about these vaccines
00:19:29.680 and how the COVID vaccine was just the first one of many to come.
00:19:32.700 So, you know, how do you find true health professionals and how do you know what medical advice to follow?
00:19:39.320 Dr. Robert Malone is going to help us all understand that.
00:19:42.620 And we're going to bring in all the other international folks who are coming.
00:19:45.500 We have something like, Steve, 12 countries who are sending delegations.
00:19:49.820 We're going to have heads of state at CPAC.
00:19:51.720 Those announcements will be made soon.
00:19:54.040 But we're going to spend two hours sitting in a room together as countries that have these national trends in their country
00:20:02.980 and talk about who, you know, best practices, who's doing what, what's working well.
00:20:08.180 I hope you're going to be with us, Steve, because I think that this might be the most important part of CPAC.
00:20:12.960 Everybody's realizing that it gets back to the grassroots and we have to capture what's working in these different countries
00:20:19.300 because we're all we all have the same problems and we all have the same enemies.
00:20:22.280 Not only that, we're going to do, obviously, broadcast live multiple shows with Real America's Voice and War Room there, Matt.
00:20:31.680 But we're also going to be, figure out earlier in the week where we do.
00:20:34.620 I'm going to be there for the entire Robert Malone thing.
00:20:36.600 I would not miss that.
00:20:37.480 What you've done there is extraordinary because you've really taken these great international conferences, brought them here.
00:20:42.000 Also, the heads of state, we're going to try to figure out something to do with them.
00:20:44.520 And the populist nationalist movement worldwide, which if you and Mercedes hadn't have gone to Japan,
00:20:50.440 hadn't gone to Hungary, hadn't gone to Brazil, hadn't gone to Mexico, I don't think this movement would be as far along.
00:20:57.540 And you see today, you've got the farmers and the populists working together in France and in Germany.
00:21:04.300 It's a worldwide movement.
00:21:06.340 And that's what I'm so excited.
00:21:07.140 Plus, we're going to be there every day.
00:21:08.940 It's a worldwide movement.
00:21:10.500 You reminded me the other day.
00:21:11.980 It kind of all started with Nigel Farage, this whole conversation about Brexit.
00:21:16.540 I didn't know what the hell he was talking about.
00:21:18.620 We're sitting there in your embassy and you have this really important dinner.
00:21:23.720 And, you know, kind of as Americans, oftentimes we say, look, America is the most important country, in my opinion.
00:21:29.080 And we've got so many problems.
00:21:30.280 Why are we going overseas?
00:21:31.280 And what you realize is, is that it's very, very important with a little bit of effort and a little bit of coordination, we can really push back on these globalists.
00:21:41.280 And I think our theme, I'm going to try it out with you, Steve.
00:21:44.140 We think CPAC's theme, this should be where globalism goes to die.
00:21:48.020 Because we have this pushback on what we all just saw.
00:21:51.060 I knew you'd like it.
00:21:52.320 What we all just saw at Davos, right?
00:21:54.080 I love it.
00:21:55.060 We don't have the money of those guys.
00:21:56.400 We don't have the power those guys have.
00:21:57.920 We just have the people.
00:21:58.860 And they're all going to be together at CPAC.
00:22:01.280 Matt, one more time, President Trump is coming, his 14th CPAC.
00:22:07.940 I think that shows you that he supports CPAC and what a platform you guys have provided.
00:22:13.820 Particularly, we had a couple of rough years.
00:22:16.080 You guys came in and turned the thing around.
00:22:18.420 It's where globalism goes to die.
00:22:20.360 President Trump's going to make a major address.
00:22:21.940 And people should understand, in the intensity of South Carolina, to make sure that he comes back to the nation's capital and puts his stamp on CPAC,
00:22:30.200 because we fire up the football across the country in this and across the world, is important.
00:22:34.520 Where they get tickets, how they find out more information, how they find where you guys go for the hotels, all the information you guys give.
00:22:40.900 Where do people go?
00:22:41.920 Just go to CPAC.org.
00:22:43.400 You can get all the ticket information, all the hotel information.
00:22:46.100 You can get all the announced speakers that we have.
00:22:48.580 But we're right at the point where we're going to really start making some pretty breathtaking announcements here in the last three weeks.
00:22:54.900 President Trump is obviously the linchpin for all of this.
00:22:58.580 And even in our nation's capital, Steve, you bring it up.
00:23:01.980 Ronald Reagan skipped one CPAC in his public life, and it was the night of the New Hampshire primary.
00:23:06.920 And it's a special thing that Donald Trump is not skipping CPAC.
00:23:10.980 He's coming to be with us, even though the South Carolina primary is the Saturday of CPAC.
00:23:15.620 And why is he doing that? He's doing that because he has affection for these people.
00:23:19.540 But he's also doing it to make a statement to everybody, which is this capital is our capital, too.
00:23:24.820 And when we win, we are going to flood that city with appointees that will change the direction and course of this country.
00:23:33.260 So it's a real shot over the bow to this woke mayor of Washington, D.C.
00:23:37.460 and all the swamp who are trying to put him in prison.
00:23:39.840 Matt, also give you and Mercedes a shout out.
00:23:47.200 You had a town hall with Kerry.
00:23:49.640 Everybody's buzzing about.
00:23:50.720 I strongly recommend you and Mercedes continue to do that because it's tremendous feedback I heard from the folks down at Green Valley.
00:23:57.340 So thank you guys for doing it.
00:23:59.220 She's a special person.
00:24:02.000 Mercy calls her the people senator.
00:24:03.580 She's going to win and she's going to do great work.
00:24:05.460 We know that you married up.
00:24:08.900 There's no doubt about that.
00:24:10.020 Schlapp, what's your Mercedes one hang up with you is your social media.
00:24:15.220 Where is your Facebook?
00:24:16.860 I mean, your Twitter.
00:24:18.440 How do people get there?
00:24:19.600 She doesn't like my social media because it's not very social.
00:24:22.740 At mschlapp on all the platforms.
00:24:25.820 And we're making all of our announcements there.
00:24:27.260 And we're going to be releasing the video we took at the border down there in Nogales.
00:24:32.300 It was really eye-opening for me, this Kansas boy, to see people just streaming across.
00:24:37.180 And Mercy and I got to talk to some of these people and really see what the Border Patrol is going through.
00:24:41.880 I think the open border alone is going to earn Donald Trump this election.
00:24:49.180 Wow.
00:24:49.840 Matt Schlapp, look forward to seeing you at CPAC the whole week.
00:24:53.340 RSD, thanks for all your help.
00:24:54.660 Conference on Vaccines.
00:24:56.460 Thanks, brother.
00:24:57.140 The Conference on Vaccines is going to be incredible.
00:24:59.680 Bringing together all the populist, nationalist leaders in Krabble and then CPAC itself.
00:25:03.500 It's going to have every star.
00:25:05.480 And I believe you're going to see people are going to be able to weigh and measure, I think, basically all the viable vice-presidential candidates.
00:25:13.860 So it will be huge.
00:25:15.720 Make sure we get that up, Producer Cameron and, of course, Moe and Grace.
00:25:21.240 Captain Bannon, a very special day for Captain Bannon.
00:25:24.340 I'll let her explain that in the chats.
00:25:25.620 But a very special day for Captain Bannon.
00:25:27.900 Groundhog's Day, as I say.
00:25:29.640 Our groundhog.
00:25:32.480 Dave Brett.
00:25:34.180 When you say CPAC is where globalism goes to die, and we're going to get into this tax fiasco in a second.
00:25:42.640 This tax thing that Johnson's done.
00:25:45.700 I've got to tell you, he is beyond on thin ice.
00:25:49.300 He's another one that thinks just not, weighing and measure, just not happening.
00:25:52.420 I'm hearing all kind of rumors about maybe even the Israel defense.
00:25:57.960 They can't pass Ukraine, so they may break out to Israel.
00:26:00.900 It's got to have offsets.
00:26:03.120 Write this down.
00:26:04.000 It has to have offsets.
00:26:05.980 You can find, if it's $14 billion, you can find $14 billion.
00:26:09.500 And don't lie about it.
00:26:10.540 This tax bill that you said you're offsetting with the COVID money, that's absolutely not true because the COVID money wasn't actually printed.
00:26:18.100 It's just a placeholder, so you're not – there's no offset.
00:26:25.240 You've got to stop playing games.
00:26:26.440 The worm is not going to let you get away with it.
00:26:27.960 We're going to get into every detail.
00:26:29.360 We're going to get into this tax thing in a second.
00:26:31.320 But Professor Nye at Harvard, if we can put this up for a second.
00:26:35.060 Professor Nye at Harvard talked about American decline, and he's one of the great public intellectuals up there.
00:26:40.180 He essentially said in this article, and if the guys can go down to the highlight, he said at the end that Donald Trump's the problem with American decline.
00:26:50.100 But most importantly, he said that to the American – to the country of the United States of America, the rise of populist nationalism is a greater threat to this country than the Chinese Communist Party.
00:27:04.580 Do you agree with that, Dave Brett?
00:27:06.220 No, just straight up.
00:27:10.680 I mean, Americans fear Americans.
00:27:13.640 In case you missed the memo, I've been across the country lately traveling like crazy, Atlanta and Texas and Pennsylvania and Baltimore, all over.
00:27:21.960 There's 100 million people in this new movement.
00:27:25.080 It's not a Republican Democrat.
00:27:27.060 It's a populist versus the globalist.
00:27:28.820 And so Nye, this critique of American greatness, the thing that makes America great is the American people, right?
00:27:36.220 And since the beginning, the founders, the beginning of our universities, the Puritans, they all had one thing in common.
00:27:42.460 They put God above everything, and then they put their country in service to their country and to their kids, and they're willing to sacrifice to achieve a great republic.
00:27:51.420 And that's American greatness.
00:27:54.040 These political science elitists hit everything except God and the people.
00:27:58.460 The only two things that matter in the universe are God and the people.
00:28:01.480 The rest of it's a trivia bowl.
00:28:03.660 Hang on one second.
00:28:06.220 We're going to come back.
00:28:06.920 Oh, my God.
00:28:07.880 Did Brett go there to Christian nationalism?
00:28:10.800 Holy mackerel.
00:28:13.440 Short commercial break.
00:28:14.900 Holy War will take us out back in a moment.

00:29:45.900 War Room.
00:29:46.820 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:29:48.860 Bannon.
00:29:52.620 Okay.
00:29:53.500 Birch Gold.
00:29:55.160 You think it's turbulent.
00:29:56.160 There's going to be a firefight on Capitol Hill on this welfare expansion of $1.5 trillion.
00:30:01.320 It's insane that Johnson used Democratic votes to push through immediately.
00:30:05.860 Had to be done.
00:30:06.600 Had to be done the other day.
00:30:07.620 Nobody could read it.
00:30:08.220 Had to be done.
00:30:09.320 Had to be done Johnson immediately.
00:30:11.000 Of course, the Senate's now saying they're going to put it in.
00:30:12.680 It's so bad and so awful that the awful Senate is going to send it to a finance committee
00:30:18.420 because it hasn't been really marked up.
00:30:19.880 It hasn't been looked at.
00:30:21.280 The numbers haven't been wrong.
00:30:22.520 And it's fine.
00:30:23.720 When Brett and I break it down, you will be outraged.
00:30:28.060 Plus, the border thing's dead.
00:30:29.940 They're running around trying to get that alive.
00:30:31.660 They're now talking about Ukraine.
00:30:32.840 You got one of the former National Security Advisors for President Trump who's off the reservation.
00:30:37.360 He's talking about, well, you just got to strip out ammo and armaments, and we got to pass that for Ukraine.
00:30:43.160 Got people running around saying, Israel, you got to have a no offset for Israel, $14 billion.
00:30:47.840 Look, the Israelis, correct me if I'm wrong, get free college, free health care.
00:30:52.600 Yeah, they're an ally.
00:30:53.700 We got to get them some stuff, but it's got to be offset.
00:30:55.420 We can't be writing checks, just checks we don't have.
00:31:00.320 Everything's got to be offset.
00:31:01.360 If you're going to do these things, offset.
00:31:02.740 Where's that money coming from?
00:31:03.520 And not a phony one like they're talking about in this tax bill.
00:31:07.320 We have to be disciplined.
00:31:08.780 And this is what was shocking about Johnson.
00:31:10.740 In an era of which even, and I put it up there, that Steve Schwartzman, who's a guy that was Trump's phony buddy
00:31:17.520 and then turned against Trump and was all for Biden over at Blackstone,
00:31:22.540 he comes out this morning, oh no, we can't take any more Biden, and the reason is it's $2 trillion.
00:31:28.920 What's his quote?
00:31:29.680 There's $2 trillion in perpetuity of deficits, and that's not sustainable.
00:31:33.740 So now all the smart Wall Street guys are coming where War Room's been.
00:31:40.100 Now they're coming to it.
00:31:41.300 So you can't, well, you got $2 trillion in deficits, and you got supplementals here with billions, billions, billions,
00:31:45.200 and now you got this new tax thing for illegal, a welfare plan for illegal alien invaders,
00:31:52.740 a welfare plan that's going to be $1.5 trillion.
00:31:55.180 And then Brad's done the work on the tax cuts for the conservatives who want.
00:31:59.080 You wait until you see these tax cuts.
00:32:01.320 The mom-and-pop entrepreneurs that are the backbone of the War Room,
00:32:04.280 no, you're getting a couple of crumbs that go away immediately.
00:32:08.200 This is all for Zuckerberg and these guys.
00:32:10.300 I'm not kidding you.
00:32:11.680 The corruption up there, and they think you're idiots.
00:32:14.080 Remember, when you have War Room, we can break down anything,
00:32:17.700 financially or with economics, and present it to working class and middle class people,
00:32:22.840 and let's say, here are the facts.
00:32:24.000 No more go on Fox and just repeat Smith saying there, it's bipartisan, pro-growth, shut up.
00:32:31.520 It's so absurd.
00:32:33.320 It's bipartisan, pro-growth, low-tax, shut up.
00:32:38.140 Don't treat us like morons.
00:32:40.000 You're an idiot in this fetish over bipartisan.
00:32:43.000 We don't want to be bipartisan because those people are trying to destroy the country, okay?
00:32:48.320 So we're taking a stand.
00:32:50.140 Bipartisan this, dude.
00:32:51.820 Get off the fetish.
00:32:53.800 We don't want to be bipartisan, and you know why?
00:32:56.140 They don't ever come our way to try to save the country.
00:32:58.820 All they want to take is more and more and more to destroy the country.
00:33:02.340 So guess what?
00:33:03.700 Put bipartisan up your keister.
00:33:06.140 We're not there.
00:33:06.960 We don't want it.
00:33:07.980 It's bipartisan.
00:33:08.600 You know what he wants to say?
00:33:09.380 Because he can go to the cocktail parties in Georgetown.
00:33:11.400 He can be patted on the head in the New York Times.
00:33:15.320 Congressman Smith was very judicious with lots of discernment and bipartisanship.
00:33:19.180 Your bill sucks, and hey, note to self, you suck.
00:33:23.980 And don't try to push this when it's so outrageous, and folks in Missouri ought to understand this.
00:33:30.920 Remember, folks, your district sent them here.
00:33:35.220 Just saying.
00:33:37.160 Okay.
00:33:37.420 By the way, Birchgold.com slash Bannon.
00:33:41.200 Make sure you get the end of the dollar empire because it's happening, baby.
00:33:44.980 Big article up there.
00:33:46.080 We're in a death.
00:33:46.660 I put it up on Getter.
00:33:47.520 We're in a death spiral.
00:33:48.740 That's what they said.
00:33:49.740 We're in a death spiral now on debt because we refuse to address it.
00:33:53.500 Because in the middle of a crisis, what is Johnson in the republic?
00:33:56.640 And he does a suspension to bring in all the Democrat votes.
00:34:00.120 Because note to self, if you have to suspend the rules to bring in Democrat votes, it's normally not going to add stability to the country.
00:34:09.120 It's going to be another payout, another Keynesian stimulus we don't need, another payout for all the constituents of Biden.
00:34:15.600 Why would you do that?
00:34:16.960 Oh, I got it.
00:34:17.980 I tell you why you do it.
00:34:18.820 Because the lobbyists over there in big tech that are all over the Jim Jordans of the world and now all over you, Kevin McCarthy, what Kevin McCarthy has done to the country, bringing all these guys in, the Sequoia Capitals of the world, they want additional tax cuts.
00:34:31.340 And that's what that bill is.
00:34:33.020 Tax cuts for the rich and wealthy.
00:34:35.780 Cash payments with no work requirements to illegal aliens.
00:34:38.940 And guess who pays for it?
00:34:40.540 Hang on.
00:34:41.300 Wait for it.
00:34:42.100 Wait for it.
00:34:43.000 You.
00:34:44.220 This is why Nye's thing is so outrageous.
00:34:46.460 And Ike talks about, oh, we have capital markets that are steady in the American military.
00:34:50.720 That's all you.
00:34:52.140 He fails to make the point that Dave Brat brings up.
00:34:54.960 It all rests on your shoulders.
00:34:57.020 And yet, you're the populist nationalist and you're the biggest threat in the country.
00:35:01.580 You're a bigger threat than the Chinese Communist Party.
00:35:03.940 Okay, brother Nye, then we deem you enemy of the people.
00:35:07.720 You believe the populist nationalist movement is a greater threat than the Chinese Communist Party, the most murderous dictatorship since the Nazis?
00:35:15.660 And I actually think in many regards worse than the Nazis, because I don't remember the Nazis killing, murdering a half a billion babies, right?
00:35:25.180 The Chinese Communist Party has murdered, murdered 450 million babies in the womb, forced abortion in the worst way possible and destroyed so many young women.
00:35:37.300 Oh, and by the way, 80% of that have been Chinese girls, a murderous dictatorship.
00:35:43.520 And you just said, bro, in your article that the populist nationalist movement in the United States of America is more dangerous and a bigger threat to this country than the Chinese Communist Party.
00:35:53.560 Hey, bro, you're an enemy of the people, officially deemed, okay?
00:36:00.300 No, we're not a bigger threat.
00:36:02.200 You're a bigger threat.
00:36:03.120 You know why?
00:36:03.620 Because you've, just like all the Harvard elites and all the global elites, you've leeched off of and glided off of the hard work of the working class and middle class of this country that have paid the taxes,
00:36:16.140 have been the little platoons of Burke that have civic society, built the churches, coached the Little League, did everything.
00:36:22.300 Saying that this is why we have liquid capital markets.
00:36:25.020 It's not our SEC.
00:36:26.520 It's not our securities laws.
00:36:28.380 It's not that.
00:36:29.100 It's the stability of the nation, the stability of the nation that the deplorables bring, bro.
00:36:34.780 So get the frick out of Cambridge and go around and see something called the United States of America before you call the people in this nation the enemy.
00:36:42.560 And the greatest threat to this country, a greater threat than the murderous Chinese Communist Party that's got everything on the Eurasian landmass in full steam in a kinetic war.
00:36:52.600 That's coming our way.
00:36:54.540 How dare you?
00:36:56.460 This is the type of corrupt, corrupt individuals, and they're dangerous.
00:37:01.400 They're dangerous because these public intellectuals, they're dangerous.
00:37:04.520 I said in this speech in CPAC the other day, one, if not the most dangerous thing in this country have been these progressive left billionaires because guess what?
00:37:13.360 They're funding all this stuff.
00:37:14.200 In fact, let's get Liz Uren here.
00:37:15.280 Liz, you've got a counter to the Catholic Church has is one of the biggest problems in the border is the official Catholic Church and its charities down there.
00:37:25.840 They're acting with the United Nations, other NGOs funded by these progressive left billionaires that are out to destroy this country.
00:37:33.800 So tell us what we've got to counter that, Liz Uren.
00:37:36.780 All right.
00:37:37.420 Well, to counter it, there's a big group of Catholic traditional activists who have created a platform called ComplicityClergy.com.
00:37:47.720 And we are taking action both on the border issues and on bills that are coming across to defund places like the USCCB, the Catholic Bishops Conference, the Catholic Relief Services, Caritas International, Catholic Charities.
00:38:04.920 They're on both sides of the border.
00:38:34.920 Immigration business.
00:38:36.540 That you are on the take to corrupt this country.
00:38:41.120 Steve, last year alone in the fiscal year, there were 800,000 getaways.
00:38:48.040 I mean, that is shocking.
00:38:49.760 People who didn't even go through the border system, let alone break the law.
00:38:55.660 Eight in 1.7 million total since Biden came in office.
00:39:00.320 Now, I'm saying that every American should read the ex-FBI supervisor letter.
00:39:09.300 It is the most chilling document about the crisis on the border, the imminent danger.
00:39:15.320 And what we need to do, and I'm urging Congress and the bishops, is we need to cut off the funding to these NGOs immediately.
00:39:28.320 Because they are facilitating human trafficking.
00:39:32.800 They are facilitating the drug cartels.
00:39:35.800 I mean, I can't even imagine what parents are going through.
00:39:40.440 Eight or 100,000 young people are dying of fentanyl overdose in this country because of the fentanyl invasion at the border.
00:39:50.880 So, you know, we as Catholics are going to take control of the issues that matter.
00:39:58.700 You know, it's very interesting, Steve.
00:40:00.960 There's an article up on complicit clergy that I want people to look at.
00:40:05.460 You know, Trump understood the danger of these NGOs working with the Soros organizations.
00:40:13.200 Trump cut funding to the USCCB, the Catholic Bishops Conference, by 50 percent.
00:40:19.600 But Biden increased it by 150 percent.
00:40:24.840 And so – but this is the same Biden administration that goes after –
00:40:28.660 Hold it, hold it. Hang on. Hang on. Hang on.
00:40:30.340 Hold, hold, hold, hold. Hang on.
00:40:32.020 This is so important. Hit rewind.
00:40:33.480 It is.
00:40:34.260 It is.
00:40:34.660 Because this was Stephen Miller.
00:40:35.700 All these – okay.
00:40:36.580 This is – okay, this is the key point that the corrupt bishops in the Catholic Church kowtow to a guy who is the biggest pro-abortion guy in the history of this country in a senior office.
00:40:47.860 That would be Joe Biden, much worse than Obama.
00:40:49.820 They kowtowed him. Go back.
00:40:51.520 Trump came in and cut it by – he wanted to cut the whole thing, but he cut it by half.
00:40:57.780 By half.
00:40:58.140 Put him on notice. Right, Liz?
00:41:00.120 Yes.
00:41:00.440 And Biden comes in and increases, makes up the half and then adds another 50 percent.
00:41:05.160 And this is why they're all for Joe Biden, because they're all corrupt and it's all about the money, right?
00:41:11.660 Because he's the biggest abortionist that's ever sat in the Oval Office, ma'am?
00:41:16.880 Yes.
00:41:17.460 And, you know, here the bishops are remaining silent when all these pro-lifers and traditional Catholics are being arrested and charged with federal crimes, spending –
00:41:27.600 you know, 70-year-old women spending 11 years in prison because they're praying outside an abortion mill, trying to pray that children will be saved.
00:41:37.520 You know, look, the left is – and this is who Biden is.
00:41:41.260 The left is – I don't know.
00:41:42.560 They have a thing about dismemberment, both inside the womb and once the children are lucky enough to be born, mutilated because of this radical LGBT gender ideology.
00:41:53.280 What is it about mutilating children?
00:41:56.080 And yet, you know, the most Catholic president we've had, Donald Trump, who appointed Catholic Supreme Court justices, pro-life Supreme Court justices, and, you know, choice for school choice.
00:42:11.060 It's all those issues that are, you know, the religious and freedom-loving Americans treasure and need our government to take the lead.
00:42:22.280 And here we are with this crisis at the border that is driven by a Catholic bishop.
00:42:28.280 So, Liz, you guys are saying no more Catholic charity, no more Catholic – is it complicit clergy or complicity?
00:42:36.320 Is it complicit clergy?
00:42:38.160 What is the exact site?
00:42:39.400 It's complicitclergy.com.
00:42:43.740 Thank you.
00:42:44.460 That's what I thought.
00:42:45.480 Okay.
00:42:45.940 And they can go there right now?
00:42:47.920 And fill out –
00:42:48.840 Liz, you're amazing.
00:42:49.640 What's your – Liz?
00:42:51.500 Fine.
00:42:52.040 We'll get them all over there.
00:42:53.360 Where's your social media?
00:42:55.480 Well, first of all, Steve, at 5'1", I would like to take the lead of the pygmy weirdos that they're talking about in MSIBC.
00:43:06.120 I, you know, take great pride in that.
00:43:09.200 But they can certainly go to complicitclergy.com for this important legislative initiative.
00:43:16.060 Secondly, I'm at yourchildren.com.
00:43:18.920 That's my website.
00:43:19.900 And everywhere else, Elizabeth, your Twitter getter to social.
00:43:24.520 And thanks so much, Steve.
00:43:26.780 Liz, you're one of my mentors.
00:43:29.660 She punches way above her weight, but we're going to deem her today on Groundhog's Day the world's tallest pygmy.
00:43:37.260 Short commercial break.
00:43:39.280 We're going to be back in a moment in the war room.
00:43:41.360 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?
00:43:55.200 Progressive corporate America continues to push messaging that further alienates conservative Americans, all while eroding the future of the American dream.
00:44:06.300 It's prominent all over the country.
00:44:08.300 Companies like Starbucks, strong-arming their customers to support abortion.
00:44:13.200 Financial services like PayPal, canceling customers for their political views.
00:44:17.720 Makeup companies like Maybelline, making a mockery of women by supporting transgender models.
00:44:22.680 And beer companies like Bud Light, forcing gender ideology on you when all you want is to enjoy a cold beer.
00:44:30.040 Thankfully, we don't have to fund these companies any longer with our hard-earned dollars.
00:44:36.560 With Public Square, we now have a solution.

00:45:49.380 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.
00:45:55.380 So, Dave Bratt, before I go to your – you've got some charts.
00:45:58.560 I want to go to your analysis on this tax deal because this is very important.
00:46:02.640 Right now, Johnson's running around.
00:46:04.740 He's saying – because you can't – you know, biblical worldview and all, you can't trust this guy.
00:46:10.180 You just can't.
00:46:11.120 He did the suppression vote, a suspension vote to get on the floor by telling everybody it had to be done.
00:46:17.240 This was an emergency.
00:46:18.000 You had to do it.
00:46:18.620 Now we know the Senate's going to – the Senate's not even not going to vote on it.
00:46:21.780 And look for closure.
00:46:23.020 The Senate is going to send it over to the Finance Committee because the Republican Senate, which are no set of fire breathers on deficits, are saying this thing is so awful that it's got to be reviewed and marked up.
00:46:34.580 And they've got to see some numbers.
00:46:35.740 They have to see some math because Smith and this group of clowns are lying to people, lying.
00:46:42.460 Walk me through your analysis of this, sir.
00:46:45.320 You know, I'll just try to break it down with a few – three or four points that will make it very clear to everybody listening what's really going on.
00:46:54.040 In the first place, it should not be called a tax package, right?
00:46:57.360 This thing should be called a patronage package, which means you just dole out cash to whoever you need for political reasons, right?
00:47:06.180 So they'll compromise.
00:47:07.040 They'll say, we'll give this much to the poor and this much to the rich.
00:47:09.920 But the American people will be shocked to hear what that breakdown looks like.
00:47:13.580 So the first point I want to make is the richest 120,000 households would get a larger share of the tax benefits than the bottom 88 million families.
00:47:25.540 120,000 rich households get more than 88 million normal families.
00:47:31.900 Joseph Nye, pay attention.
00:47:34.240 See if you can focus on that one.
00:47:35.860 Point number two, the poorest 20% of families would receive just $60 on average.
00:47:41.500 The poorest 20% of families get $60.
00:47:45.160 The rich, 0.1% get $57,000 each.
00:47:50.080 Here's the win.
00:47:50.740 This is all Tax Policy Center.
00:47:52.240 You can go look it up and see if they're telling you the truth.
00:47:54.580 Meta, otherwise known as Zuckerberg, Zuckerbucks, we're giving them a nice incentive package.
00:48:03.220 It looks like patronage, right?
00:48:04.780 They need our help, right?
00:48:06.380 They make tens of billions a year in profits, and they would see their effective tax rate go from 25% to minus 2%.
00:48:16.520 We'll basically be paying them, giving them subsidies, right?
00:48:20.020 I mean, so you just cannot make this stuff up.
00:48:22.500 And then on the immigration front, this thing, in addition to giving work permits, the child tax credit policy is kind of a negative income tax.
00:48:31.620 Let's just give the illegal immigrants cash payments when they come across the border.
00:48:37.740 And Heather McDonald, she had a piece out a week ago.
00:48:40.060 Everyone ought to check that out at the Manhattan Institute.
00:48:43.840 And a lot of times we pay attention to the cheap labor argument.
00:48:46.660 I think the other side of the equation is actually more powerful.
00:48:49.760 It takes a minute to explain.
00:48:51.860 But the cheap labor, right, all these Zuckerbucks corporations, Meta, and the big, magnificent seven firms get their cheap labor, along with all the, you know, just the Fortune 500 firms.
00:49:02.460 But what they don't want to focus on is the cost.
00:49:05.000 Who pays the cost?
00:49:06.140 So Heather McDonald showed now the cost of one year of schooling, K-12 schooling in Los Angeles, is now $50,000 per student.
00:49:17.380 Let that sink in a minute.
00:49:18.980 $50,000.
00:49:20.400 So say someone comes across the border, say they get a job, legal, up and up, not legal, they're here illegally, but they make $20,000.
00:49:27.720 They send a kid to school, that's $50,000.
00:49:30.380 How are we doing on net there?
00:49:31.880 We haven't even brought in health policy.
00:49:33.680 We haven't brought in crime.
00:49:34.600 We haven't brought in fentanyl, nothing.
00:49:36.560 So the cheap labor, the firms get all the benefits of the cheap labor.
00:49:40.740 They get more profits.
00:49:42.220 But who pays the bill?
00:49:43.620 You, the American people.
00:49:45.260 Joseph Nye, are you getting the hang of this logic yet?
00:49:47.800 It's pretty simple.
00:49:49.280 Hundreds of millions of people right there from Tax Foundation, all the experts, they're telling you who's getting the benefits.
00:49:55.220 So this is not a tax bill.
00:49:56.960 It's a patronage bill.
00:49:58.580 We've got to get the confidence on our side of the populist side to have elections where the people vote and we trust them.
00:50:05.300 The more we try to compromise and we're growing the size of government more with this tax package.
00:50:12.100 That's supposed to incentivize growth.
00:50:14.540 It's all the rules.
00:50:15.460 It's a welfare, it's a welfare, it's a welfare state, massive expansion.
00:50:20.380 I mean, Stern was over here.
00:50:22.620 It's between $400 billion and $1.5 trillion expansion.
00:50:27.200 When Steve Schwartz and everybody's saying, guys, that $2 trillion deficit, you're doing these supplementals, these off-balance sheet things, it's adding to something that's uncontrollable.
00:50:36.300 And that's why.
00:50:36.820 Or what doesn't Johnson understand about that?
00:50:39.120 Why would Johnson, first off, why would Smith, and Smith, you've got to stop saying bipartisan.
00:50:44.700 That means you're partners with the people trying to destroy this country.
00:50:47.780 We don't want to be bipartisan.
00:50:49.480 Okay?
00:50:49.960 You may get a pat on the head, right, in a Georgetown cocktail party, but we don't care about that.
00:50:54.860 We care about saving our country.
00:50:56.260 So stop with the bipartisan.
00:50:57.980 And stop with it.
00:50:58.660 It's pro-growth.
00:50:59.820 It's a tax cut.
00:51:00.660 That's all a lie.
00:51:02.100 It's not going to be pro-growth because you're burying us under more debt.
00:51:07.060 And to know that they put this through and they didn't have a hearing, that they could come up and put the information through the American people.
00:51:14.980 And Johnson sat there and lied to people when they went in his office and they took it to the floor, suspended the rules, got all the Democrats to vote for it because it's essentially a Democrat bill, right?
00:51:25.320 And then lied to people and had to be done.
00:51:28.140 It was an emergency.
00:51:29.000 Had to be done.
00:51:29.740 Must had to be done.
00:51:31.400 And the Senate sits there and goes, this thing is so awful.
00:51:35.320 And these are guys that are not – the Senate is the patronage, right?
00:51:39.440 They should have like NASCAR.
00:51:41.220 They should have the stickers on them of who their patrons are.
00:51:45.500 Even those guys said, we've got to send this – we're not even not going to get cloture for a vote.
00:51:50.860 We're going to send it to the Finance Committee because this thing is so upside down.
00:51:54.820 It's so awful.
00:51:55.940 And we have to understand the numbers.
00:51:57.600 Dave Bratt.
00:51:59.740 Yeah, well, it's what I was saying, Mike and the chairman, et cetera, got to take a chance, right?
00:52:08.900 You cannot keep doing the same thing we've been doing for 30 years.
00:52:11.340 The speaker has a megaphone that can tower over all the members of the Republican conference.
00:52:18.580 If the speaker goes out on the media and says, we're running on three things, we've got a package.
00:52:23.080 We're running on the debt.
00:52:24.460 We're running on the border.
00:52:26.620 And we're running on China, right?
00:52:29.200 The FBI leaders in there saying yesterday they're already doing cyber attacks on us and our Fortune 500 is still invested and they're not de-risking hardly at all.
00:52:38.360 You run on those three things and you put that bullhorn out and you make the entire conference run on those three things.
00:52:44.400 They don't get to go off and say, I'm doing bipartisan stuff in San Francisco and I get there in a hard slot, right?
00:52:50.320 I've never had that job.
00:52:51.540 I don't think I'd want it.
00:52:53.000 And so they got a margin of one or two and they got to pick up the Senate.
00:52:55.900 But guess what will do that?
00:52:57.560 You got to give the American people something to dream about, something to believe in.
00:53:00.780 And if you go all in on China and getting this world realigned, right, getting the globalists out of our hair, and then you clean up the border, which is destroying New York City and Chicago, the Democrat mayors are telling you what's going on.
00:53:14.120 This is it.
00:53:14.680 Hey, Joseph and I, are you sure you're reading the papers?
00:53:17.680 I don't know if you know what's going on.
00:53:19.100 So those three things, hold it.
00:53:20.760 Hold it.
00:53:22.340 Go into Boston.
00:53:24.100 They're reporting in Boston, they're taking the African-Americans Community Center in Roxbury and turn it over to illegal alien invaders and I go to Roxbury, bro.
