...that had initially been seized by the Russian military, recaptured by Ukraine, against all odds.
00:00:10.000
But the pro-Putin obstruction that has stopped this national security legislation from advancing to the floor until this point
00:00:17.320
risks all of the progress that has been made, which is why it's so essential for us to do what is necessary to stand with the Ukrainian people.
00:00:29.440
Saturday, 20 April, in the year of our Lord, 2024.
00:00:32.480
By the way, yesterday was the anniversary of Lexington and Concord because of the intensity of the show and things that were happening.
00:00:40.880
I didn't get to that. I'll do that Monday. Let's duly note that.
00:00:50.820
And I understand this is tough because we're going to lose this vote today.
00:00:54.460
We're going to lose this vote because all the Democrats are going to vote for Ukraine.
00:01:01.120
Have you seen this cast of characters that we show here on the floor?
00:01:04.840
Have you seen it? It looks like the Addams Family, right?
00:01:12.920
You've got the woman with the purple hair and you've got, oh, they come up there and they're, they're, they're, it's a bizarro.
00:01:19.760
Do you think any of those people have they historically, have that party had any interest in the security of this nation ever, ever, ever?
00:01:30.080
Have they not been the anti-America crowd that America, you know, America's evil, America's a bunch of colonizers.
00:01:38.000
Our forefathers are slave owners and colonizers and the worst people on earth.
00:01:47.180
You go back to, they, they, oh, I'm really a progressive.
00:01:49.800
No, you go back, they're, they're, they're, the basis and core of their thinking, they're neo-Marxist.
00:01:56.640
They're a difference in degree, but not in kind, of the Bolsheviks and Mao.
00:02:02.140
And it's not as, it's not quite as in your face, although you're starting to see it in your face on these campuses with the pro-Palestinian.
00:02:08.980
And that's why I say the Sharia supremacist movement is the most anti-American movement in history.
00:02:15.860
I think I'm proven right every day on these campuses, but I will be proven right.
00:02:21.660
I don't want to say as I always am, but I'll be proven right, just like in Wuhan, just like all the other places.
00:02:29.280
And that's what they love and that's what they support and that's who they are.
00:02:32.560
And Hakeem Jeffrey is going to sit there and lecture you on defense of this country.
00:02:40.040
And what Gregory Meeks and the rest of this crowd, they're all up there.
00:02:43.000
They're, they're, they're all, they're having a Churchill moment.
00:02:45.860
You think it was Churchill and Commons in 1939.
00:02:48.560
You think in May of 1940, boom, that's Hakeem Jeffries and Gregory Meeks.
00:02:55.260
If you buy into, and that's why, and I understand a lot of policies worried and Gates and the heartache.
00:03:04.420
If you're not going to hold him accountable, why do we hold, why do we hold McCarthy accountable?
00:03:15.980
If they want to, if they want to, I said that the speech last night, if guys are going to threaten to resign to make Hakeem Jeffries, if we want to remove Johnson, call their bluff.
00:03:29.920
Because then you're going to sit there and go, hey, I've supported that guy.
00:03:38.160
Part of doing this, of these two parties now down the path of Trump MAGA means populist nationalist.
00:03:46.880
All you're hearing today in the Churchill moment is neoliberal neocon.
00:03:55.240
And remember, Churchill called it the unnecessary war.
00:04:02.240
I hate to bring up, you know, things that I know are going to upset some people, but it was not Patton and not some of the generals after we didn't take Berlin and we held back and guys are saying, hey, who are we really fighting here?
00:04:25.620
Not going to Berlin is one of the keys that picks the lock to all of this.
00:04:40.580
Hey, McCarthy went on the floor of the Senate and gave a six and a half hour speech called retreat from victory.
00:04:59.560
And he walks through and maybe all of it in the six and a half hours doesn't tie together.
00:05:06.560
But he went after General Marshall, which if you're in Morning Joe, it's where all those historians they worship.
00:05:13.700
General Marshall from VMI and General Marshall is revered in the Commonwealth of Virginia, almost at the level of Robert E. Lee or Stonewall Jackson.
00:05:23.020
As President Trump's, maybe they're not the hottest topics in the world, right?
00:05:30.320
But McCarthy goes and maybe they should talk about that today when they're talking about Churchill.
00:05:37.280
McCarthy's speech, six and a half hours in the well of the Senate, right there, six and a half hours about retreat from victory, about what in the hell did we just do?
00:05:48.460
How did we actually get involved in these wars?
00:05:52.460
And why, at the end of it, is our ally, the Russians, controlled by the Bolsheviks?
00:05:57.980
Why are the, why are the, allowed by Jing who sacrificed so much, why, why do we give the country to Mao Zedong, we, the United States State Department, why did we do that?
00:06:08.800
And why is Eastern Europe a captive, captive nations all the way up?
00:06:13.300
Oh yeah, and we threw a few bones to Greece and we threw some dollars over to the Balkans.
00:06:21.900
And Churchill says, you know, great iron curtains come down.
00:06:24.220
Well, how did that, how did the curtain get made and how did it get let down?
00:06:27.980
When they were supposed to be the junior part, how did it do?
00:06:30.680
McCarthy laid them out for six and a half hours.
00:06:37.840
He's a demon, he's a demo guy, everything like that.
00:06:39.780
What they don't highlight, and even the official General Marshall four volume, which I read, doesn't highlight.
00:06:48.060
90 days after, 90 days after that speech is given, General Marshall retires.
00:06:59.980
He retired to spend more time with his wife, of which they had no children.
00:07:04.660
Spend more time with his wife, more time with his family.
00:07:10.460
You don't think McCarthy nailed it, McCarthy nailed it.
00:07:17.680
And the perfect example I got is you got Hakeem Jeffries.
00:07:22.160
Hakeem Jeffries is going to give you a Churchill versus Chamberlain moment.
00:07:27.380
The veterans in this audience, the people who sacrificed in this audience, the people who loved their country, he's going to sit there and they're going to give you, if you don't vote for Ukraine.
00:07:36.440
When we do a formal investigation of Ukraine in the second Trump turn after his third victory, which, folks, ain't going to be easy.
00:07:47.740
I'm telling you, this New York thing, they're going to come at President Trump with everything.
00:07:55.520
I know you don't want to hear that, but we've got to power through it.
00:07:57.500
We're going to have to have his back more than we've ever had his back in this thing.
00:08:00.460
But when he gets in there and we do the investigation that MTG and others have been calling for because they haven't audited a penny, when we do that, remember, Heritage found the $14 billion they're lying about.
00:08:13.560
Heritage will tell you it's $129 billion, $125 billion.
00:08:17.540
When we do the formal investigation, you're going to see exactly how much money, you're going to see exactly how much money went to the battlefield and how much money they flat out stole.
00:08:29.140
And you're going to see what Victoria Nuland was doing.
00:08:35.880
You're going to see what our involvement has been there.
00:08:37.860
You're going to see about the child trafficking and the human trafficking.
00:08:44.660
And what do you think is going to happen when it's exposed?
00:08:47.680
Just like the Pentagon Papers, just like the Afghanistan.
00:08:58.440
What does it take a great power and a great nation, the greatest nation, the history of mankind?
00:09:15.560
And now we're here again with the same group of clowns telling you, and now they're taking the greatest generation.
00:09:23.280
It's like waving the bloody shirt after the Civil War.
00:09:27.440
They're going to hold a band of brothers because they've been mythologized.
00:09:30.560
They're going to hold a band of brothers and masters of the air and 12 o'clock high, and they were expendable.
00:09:38.340
They're going to take the greatest sacrifice probably in the history of this country on the battlefield of the greatest generation,
00:09:45.820
and they're going to throw it up in your face that you are mocking their memory if you don't vote for Ukraine.
00:10:01.560
You're going to lead to the further destruction.
00:10:03.420
The same exact people that are in San Francisco rubbing up on Xi, popping champagne, and giving him two or three standing ovations.
00:10:13.260
They have the gall to come to you and say, oh, you're Neville Chamberlain.
00:10:18.100
You are in business with the greatest existential threat this country's ever had.
00:10:25.380
So don't sit here and give me some example from the 1930s, right?
00:10:48.140
We've heard a lot about Churchill and Chamberlain.
00:10:53.580
If Great Britain and Europe as a whole had done more with Austria, with Sudetenland, history might be different.
00:11:03.380
I implore my colleagues for America's border security ahead of Ukraine's, and I yield back.
00:11:09.580
The gentleman from Florida Reserves, the gentlewoman from Connecticut, is recognized.
00:11:13.860
Chair, I yield two minutes to the gentlewoman from Minnesota, the ranking member of the Defense Subcommittee, Ms. McCollum.
00:11:22.260
It's been six months since President Biden sent his security supplemental to the Congress.
00:11:39.440
They're so big on security in the United States of America.
00:11:45.960
I think Grace and Morgan are going to get up on a separate channel so you can get the whole thing.
00:11:50.060
You tell me if that crowd has America's interests in mind.
00:12:02.900
They think he's infected the system with America first and America's citizens first.
00:12:07.640
That's not the way the system is supposed to work.
00:12:23.640
McCollum, your father, the heroes of the greatest generation, particularly the 8th Air Corps over Nazi Germany bombing the industrial.
00:12:38.460
The British, God bless them, would not do daylight precision bombing.
00:12:51.240
It was the Americans that did precision daylight bombing.
00:12:56.100
It was the Americans that gave the ultimate sacrifice.
00:12:59.220
Because the British knew they couldn't lose too many pilots.
00:13:06.420
We're talking about NATO this and NATO that and all the elites.
00:13:13.240
And the British, in their defense, they couldn't take the type of mass casualties they took in the World War I.
00:13:20.380
No government, no democratic elected government could withstand that.
00:13:25.440
So how many in Europe, in that NATO crowd, Scandinavia, no.
00:13:42.640
Many of the resistance people, let's duly note, were communists in France, in the low countries.
00:13:50.260
They were fighting the fascists, but they were, many of them, I think the majority of them were communists.
00:13:57.360
They had a whole different deal in mind, but that's okay.
00:14:02.800
France, the whole country, you had, what, de Gaulle had a combat division?
00:14:06.940
Germany, the Poles gave us an air battalion, air brigade of volunteers.
00:14:18.400
Their elites, and the reason their governments were with the fascists, their elites were with the fascists.
00:14:24.680
And now they're shirking their duty right there.
00:14:32.060
I can go to Stade right now and get you $60 billion.
00:14:44.520
With the full health care and the pensions and quitting at 50?
00:14:51.380
Those people outside the bodega, are they doing that?
00:15:00.020
Right now, millions of Americans face prescription medication shortages.
00:15:05.460
The FDA's medication shortage list currently has over 120 prescription medications listed.
00:15:13.100
Some patients are being forced into more expensive substitutes, while others are rationing what little
00:15:23.160
That's why I want you to pick up a Jace case today.
00:15:26.180
The Jace case is a pack of essential antibiotics that can treat a long list of common bacterial
00:15:32.020
illnesses, including UTIs, respiratory and skin infections, plus much more.
00:15:38.160
And each case can be customized for your specific needs with dozens of add-on options.
00:15:44.140

I've just put out the fifth installment totally free of the end of the dollar empire.
00:16:27.860
It's about, it's a comparison of the central bank digital currency and our fiat money.
00:16:33.440
What's happening tied to things like putting another, with the ink not even dry on a trillion
00:16:38.280
dollar defense bill, with the ink not even dry on seven trillion dollars of spending, they
00:16:43.620
are putting in a supplement of just a hundred billion dollars.
00:16:47.800
Remember this day and remember these congressmen.
00:16:50.520
Listen, when we come back in January and you have to cut literally four or five hundred
00:16:56.760
billion dollars in period zero, that mean day one, to get to a balanced budget in five
00:17:02.240
years, you got to cut a couple hundred billion dollars.
00:17:05.920
Because I say the math doesn't work any other way.
00:17:08.380
Even people that I'd like and admire, they give you these things.
00:17:13.660
That's all, that's just more, that's just more airy-fairy.
00:17:16.280
If you're going to cut this, you got to cut it.
00:17:17.880
You combine what we're doing today, you combine what our financial situation truly is, you
00:17:27.420
can combine the Moscow show trial in New York on Trump, you combine the Benny Thompson, let's
00:17:36.720
take his security away so he can get murdered in prison, you combine what happened in Harlem
00:17:42.400
to Todd Benzman's report on the Rio Grande Valley, where they see, as I keep saying, two-thirds of our
00:17:55.140
Smith, if we can play that a little later, maybe I'll get to it on Monday, today may be too jammed.
00:17:59.380
Smith came up with another one last night, talked specifically about the African-American
00:18:04.520
and the minority community, waking up to the fact that the great replacement theories against
00:18:08.800
them, where have you heard that before, against them, against minorities, this invasion.
00:18:16.960
You combine all of that with all this grandiosity on the House floor from these Democrats, they're
00:18:25.020
Winston Churchill, if these guys were out there defending, he'd spit on the floor.
00:18:33.200
It also shows you how dumb they think the American people are, that they can do this.
00:18:39.000
The Sunday shows tomorrow are literally going to make Mike Johnson Churchill.
00:18:44.700
His historic moment, he stepped into his moment.
00:18:47.180
The adults in the room, he said the radical fringe.
00:18:50.240
Well, you can call us a radical fringe where 60% of the American people or 70% of the American
00:18:55.680
people, when they see the facts in Ukraine, they say, absolutely, no way, not another
00:19:03.480
Is the 60 billion going to change the opinion of the moms and dads that got their kids out?
00:19:12.660
For the 60 billion, is that going to change it?
00:19:17.560
They ain't no money on earth going to keep those people back.
00:19:23.100
McCall, when you're sitting there with that very teary thing, I'm on the border of Poland
00:19:31.060
Schroding had so many guys going through their kitchen.
00:19:33.340
They want to get the hell out because they understand exactly what Zelensky and the collection
00:19:38.300
of crooks that were the third most corrupt government in the world at the start of this
00:19:44.480
and probably the most corrupt now because they're stealing with both hands.
00:19:49.560
They went, Burns went over to talk to, Burns went over to talk to Zelensky and says,
00:19:54.080
you guys got to stop stealing in broad daylight with two hands because this is going to get
00:20:00.380
All that fighting and all the exposure of this and you're still going to have, you know,
00:20:07.220
Remember, mark their names down because you're the only guys that can remove them.
00:20:12.040
Their constituents are the only ones that can remove them.
00:20:13.920
And if you if you believe in this Ukraine situation, then get ready for defense bills
00:20:23.160
I would like you to go into the chat room and explain right now how we're going to pay
00:20:31.220
Just you'll see now the five installments, particularly the last one about the central bank
00:20:35.480
digital currency, and we do it vis-a-vis the de-dollarization movement.
00:20:38.720
We go vis-a-vis about the destruction of the dollar.
00:20:42.140
Don't let people tell you the dollar is the strongest ever been.
00:20:49.180
We're talking about in comparison to commodities, other things that drive into inflation and the dollar.
00:21:00.600
I'm not a guy who gives financial advice, but I'm saying just look at the macro and look
00:21:15.000
We just got the guys out of Niger, I think, yesterday after exposing that with Matt Gaetz
00:21:19.980
over a year, got a thousand combat troops there.
00:21:24.360
I didn't know we were warred down in Niger, building a secret air base down there.
00:21:29.340
Because the uniparty globalists got to be everywhere, got to have their nose in everything, got to have
00:21:48.380
But it turns out, through your investigative reporting, these aren't actually Ukrainians.
00:21:54.920
Who are the guys there, the English-language paper in Kiev, the Kiev Post, which I don't
00:22:05.600
But they're actually using Americans, Americans to attack us, correct?
00:22:14.060
This is, we're talking here, the Kiev Post, which is Ukraine's oldest English-language
00:22:21.580
And they've got an article here, headlined, The Enemy Within.
00:22:28.480
Who is the enemy within the United States, Steve, according to the Kiev Post?
00:22:35.060
You are described in this article as an extremist and a criminal.
00:22:39.400
And when I read this, I was absolutely overjoyed, because it really does now, this is the
00:22:44.120
illustration, how much the Kiev regime fears MAGA and the war room of Posse, because they
00:22:51.560
can see the results, that the momentum that you're pushing is starting to affect.
00:22:57.060
And of course, the timing here with the 61 billion isn't an accident.
00:23:02.280
And this is how they're trying to constantly, constantly influence the debate in the United
00:23:08.020
So there's just three points here that I'm quickly going to mention.
00:23:10.880
And then I have two other things I really have got to see if I can squeeze in to my hit
00:23:15.340
today, because it ties in everything you've just been saying in the front part of the
00:23:19.740
So basically, this article here, it attacks MTG, saying that basically she's the person
00:23:33.940
Vance should be, and I quote here, that they've been so outrageous.
00:23:37.580
They ought to be investigated for Russian contacts, much like some of the members of
00:23:46.840
That is a threat, a threat of judicial, a judicial takedown on two elected representatives.
00:23:54.060
And that's absolutely clear, a la New York, right?
00:23:58.380
The third point I'd like to mention here is that, and you mentioned this in your introduction,
00:24:04.400
It's a guy called Aschold Lijinsky, who, according to Wikipedia, I mean, born in New York, he's
00:24:18.580
His whole history, and of course, now is his moment, now that Ukraine is in the, his
00:24:22.500
whole history has been involved in promoting Ukraine as a Ukrainian-American.
00:24:28.400
And he pushes out this article called The Enemy Within, Steve.
00:24:34.820
I think it ought to be absolutely obvious to everyone following the show today.
00:24:38.820
The America, the enemy within isn't Steve Bannon or MTG or J.D. Vance.
00:24:45.040
It's people like this who have hyphenated identities, but always seem to find a way of putting the
00:24:54.500
It's an astonishing article, which you can find on my Getty feed.
00:25:10.120
We think this debate's totally phony today, the Churchill-Chamberlain comparison, the Churchill
00:25:17.040
Can you give us an update of what's happening on the Ukraine vote?
00:25:19.840
Well, we expect to vote at about 1.30 today on the five-bill, really the four-bill package
00:25:26.320
plus the additional fifth bill, but a four-bill package, which represents the worst in Washington.
00:25:30.920
As you know, it's a reversal of the Speaker's long-stated commitment to prioritizing our border
00:25:37.820
security first and not bringing Ukraine funding to the floor without meaningful, significant,
00:25:47.640
I think similar, Steve, to what he did on the FISA reauthorization, where he, for seven
00:25:52.980
years, he was in favor of protecting Americans' constitutional liberties until he talked to
00:26:00.240
He talked to the defense industry, and they persuaded him that it's our responsibility to
00:26:06.380
fund Ukraine to further enrich the defense contractors here that provide so much in the
00:26:15.280
And so he says, you know, we can't have Kiev fall on his watch, on our watch.
00:26:21.520
And so you're going to see us borrow some $60 billion to fund Ukraine.
00:26:26.180
You're going to see us borrow an additional $35 billion that we don't have to send overseas
00:26:30.680
for countries who don't have the debt that we have, by the way.
00:26:35.900
And we're going to do it predominantly with Democrat votes.
00:26:38.340
Well, the rule, we had a live training session in Vegas, and people were very jacked up,
00:26:46.640
understanding that the three members of the rules committee, who all represent various
00:26:50.620
different kind of factions, the Libertarian Tom Massey, you had Chip Roy, you had Ralph
00:26:57.800
And then late at night, he, the speaker for, I think the first time in history, because
00:27:02.480
the rule is supposed to give the majority their ability to control the House and the
00:27:06.920
House floor, sided with Democrats and didn't even invite the Republicans in for the amendments.
00:27:11.840
So given that he's shown his true colors, and this is, you know, time and time again, to
00:27:17.620
pass the spending bills, to pass the FISA, with the warrantless FISA, so that, you know,
00:27:23.260
we're supposed to be the fascists, but to give the administrative state the ability to spy
00:27:27.880
on American citizens, of which we fought against all American citizens, regardless whether they're
00:27:34.300
progressive Democrats or anti-MAGA or Trump haters.
00:27:37.300
And now this, which he's done something extraordinary, and gone against the will of the party, because
00:27:42.500
65 to 75 percent of Republicans are adamantly opposed to Ukraine spending.
00:27:47.800
And if you explain the details of it, 90 percent are opposed.
00:27:52.380
Why is, why is, why is Johnson going to be allowed to survive as speaker?
00:27:58.220
I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money in our bank accounts.
00:28:05.240
Shortly after, the government pushed through the Patriot Act.
00:28:08.440
This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email
00:28:16.740
Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence and
00:28:21.840
New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this
00:28:26.940
governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.
00:28:29.960
In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will soon
00:28:37.320
If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even
00:28:43.380
vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.
00:28:48.380
I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.
00:28:53.920
Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to
00:28:58.200
educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility
00:29:06.480
Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past.
00:29:14.020
That's RickardsWarRoom.com now to see the video.
00:29:18.520
Well, I want to just go back to what you just said a few moments ago, Steve.
00:29:22.200
The hope for folks that were making a difference, shows like this, people like you, people in
00:29:27.320
the battle, you had some unprecedented things take place in the last couple of days.
00:29:31.720
As you noted, for the first time, you had Democrats pass a rule, the minority party,
00:29:37.300
I should say, pass a rule because Thomas Massey, for the first time, joined Ralph Norman and
00:29:42.680
That's why we got those guys on the rules committee back in January 15 months ago in the negotiations
00:29:48.400
with the former speaker was so that principled conservatives could block it when the speaker's
00:29:53.460
trying to abuse the rules committee to do things like what's going on now.
00:29:56.320
So you've got courageous conservatives doing what they're supposed to do.
00:30:00.040
You also had 55 members of the Republican House vote against the rule on the floor.
00:30:06.720
You've been seeing 20-something of us, maybe even 30-something, so 55.
00:30:09.940
But you had new people who had never voted for a rule before.
00:30:13.040
You also had a history made with 161 Democrats voted for the rule on the floor.
00:30:18.080
So the point of that is, Steve, we are further exposing what the speaker's doing, who he is,
00:30:23.560
what he's become, and the answer, Steve, is to elect President Trump in November.
00:30:28.720
But it's also, Steve, to win these battlegrounds in the primaries across the country,
00:30:33.300
to defeat these incumbents who are betraying us and voting with the speaker and voting with
00:30:37.640
the Democrats, quite frankly, and to elect more courageous conservative warriors to swell
00:30:42.720
our numbers, to have more influence, and for everybody back home to let their member who's
00:30:50.060
I understand that today will be another unmasking because we'll find out who votes in Ukraine,
00:30:56.440
and I hope that it's a majority of the majority vote no.
00:30:59.740
But I'm just telling you, because I think we've got a pretty good feel for this, the key to
00:31:09.880
If you don't take action on the speaker, if you don't take action on the speaker, people
00:31:14.480
are just going to say, you're going to have a hard time with 5 or 10 percent, a very hard
00:31:20.500
I think a lot of them are just going to say, hey, I put my shoulder to the wheel, I was
00:31:24.360
there, but there's no discipline and there's no accountability.
00:31:26.920
Somebody has to hold, you guys did a magnificent job for the first time in the history of our
00:31:33.560
Republican, 234 years, I think, of the institution of Congress.
00:31:37.740
You removed a sitting speaker, and you moved a sitting speaker because he lied to you so
00:31:42.760
many times, he misrepresented to you, he did something on the debt deal that was extraordinary,
00:31:51.760
People are going to sit there and go, if it wasn't about personality, it just caused the
00:31:58.820
Johnson's actually been, you would argue, actually been a bigger double dealer and lied
00:32:05.400
You were here the other day and said you spent 90, you and the Freedom Caucus, and you're
00:32:08.280
the chairman, spent 90 minutes with him, and you laid out such a logical thing.
00:32:12.400
Even the Warren Posse didn't totally agree with it, but I could understand your position
00:32:16.400
on Ukraine about, hey, here's how we get a win.
00:32:20.820
He completely just essentially laughed you guys off and went and did what he was always
00:32:26.100
going to do with the deep state and the Democrats.
00:32:30.840
Well, you can't, certainly, great question, certainly can't defend him.
00:32:34.340
I would have much trouble voting to keep him as speaker because he's done nothing to merit
00:32:39.380
But I think if you compare it to what happened at the end of September, 1st of October,
00:32:42.760
what we did six months or so ago, Steve, there's a lot of uncertainty then, and you couldn't
00:32:48.440
guarantee what the outcome would be, and we had an eight or nine vote margin.
00:32:53.180
I think it's not inconceivable to think that we might have a couple of resignations if you
00:32:59.460
But, Steve, look what happened when we went through that process last September, where
00:33:10.960
I do think it's more of dangerous at this point just because of the numbers.
00:33:16.920
I think the thing to do is to emasculate him, to weaken him, and to, frankly, have a contest
00:33:22.260
in November, a deliberative contest, which I don't think he would be able to prevail in.
00:33:25.880
But I think we've got a better chance of getting a good speaker or a better speaker in November
00:33:31.000
Plus, Steve, if we end up with, let's say, the majority leader becomes the sort of de facto
00:33:36.240
person that gets the support, you end up with an incumbent going to November that it's harder
00:33:41.220
to defeat than it would be if, I believe, if Mike Johnson were the speaker going into
00:33:46.500
So I can't disagree with you strongly, but I am concerned about just the numbers here.
00:33:50.740
I'm also concerned about going into the election with it.
00:33:53.300
You know, it divided many people when we did it back last October.
00:33:56.560
I believe it was the right thing to do, and I would do it again, go back and do again
00:34:01.640
But I think the numbers just create a different situation.
00:34:04.180
So, look, people that folks on this audience admire, yourself, Anna Paulina Luna, Matt
00:34:11.320
Gates, do you believe, because I know we've got to let you go, you've got to bounce, do
00:34:15.000
you believe that the actual threat, because I think this also shows you the treacherous
00:34:19.700
nature of the people on our side of the football, do you believe they're actually, because Anna
00:34:23.780
Paulina Luna believes it, and I think Matt Gates believes it, that they're actually
00:34:27.160
Republicans to stop this and to keep control, really, of the Democrats, would actually
00:34:32.420
resign to essentially give Hakeem Jeffries, because this is what you're saying.
00:34:36.220
You're saying the people that actually this audience has worked for, has raised money
00:34:40.200
for, has walked precincts for, that would actually resign if we move forward to do this, to give
00:34:47.100
the speakership to Hakeem Jeffries for the last six months in the run-up to this massive
00:34:52.780
fight President Trump has and have a guy who can put the knife in him at any time.
00:34:56.260
That's what you're saying is your fear, that there are actually Republicans that would
00:35:03.160
I mean, I don't understand why some of these most recent resignations took place.
00:35:06.360
I can't conclude they were anything more than malicious.
00:35:09.400
Why did these people resign at the time they did?
00:35:11.540
They gave no valid explanation for why they had to resign right now.
00:35:14.420
So I am concerned about that, but that is just one of the concerns that I have with respect
00:35:25.240
What do you, do you anticipate today on this vote that we will get the majority of the
00:35:30.600
I mean, how do you think the vote on Ukraine will come out as you can feel it today?
00:35:35.520
I don't think you'll get the majority of the majority on Ukraine.
00:35:38.340
I think Republicans will vote, you know, slightly, a slight, I think you have a slight majority
00:35:47.680
I think you'll have overwhelmingly Democrats vote on for Ukraine.
00:35:50.940
But Steve, one thing back on this motion to vacate, I think the Democrats will save him.
00:35:56.140
I think that's part of the deal that's been made.
00:35:58.900
They get their $9 billion for Hamas in the Israel package.
00:36:01.640
I'm going to vote against the Israel package today, Steve.
00:36:03.960
I strongly support Israel, but I don't support borrowing the money to do it.
00:36:07.040
And I don't support sticking $9 billion to support Hamas or Gaza there, which really
00:36:14.600
We're funding both sides, funding Israel's enemies while we're trying to fund Israel, and we're
00:36:19.880
So I think the cake has been baked, and the deal has been made.
00:36:23.040
I think Democrats will overwhelmingly support this deal.
00:36:25.400
And I think if the Speaker was vacated, then they'll support him there to save him as well.
00:36:32.600
On principle, I just want to show you how to understand this.
00:36:37.760
On principle, you're saying he should be removed, but the practicality and the logistics of
00:36:43.440
it make it risk that you don't believe and others don't believe can be mitigated, but
00:36:50.380
In fact, you could actually argue this guy is worse than McCarthy.
00:36:57.440
All we've really got left is the funding battles in September, which is a big deal.
00:37:01.440
What we've got to try to do is keep that whatever deal we make or they make.
00:37:04.980
I'm going to oppose it in all likelihood, but we shorten it so it impacts the president,
00:37:08.180
President Trump, as little as possible into the new year.
00:37:10.900
So we have another bite of the apple as quickly as possible.
00:37:13.700
So what I am saying is I think that the fight is better in November.
00:37:19.600
However, as I noted, I can't defend the speaker, and I don't know that I could vote to keep
00:37:27.620
I couldn't make a case to keep him, but I just would rather that the battle took place
00:37:33.540
On the spending, just before we go on the spending, we still have the top.
00:37:39.840
The appropriation process of the single bet is how it's going to be allocated.
00:37:42.480
But what is the latest on – because if Biden gave us a $7.3 trillion budget, they'll
00:37:49.060
have a $2 trillion deficit, particularly with the tax revenues collapsing because of what
00:37:54.400
he's really done with the economy, the true economy.
00:37:56.840
So Speaker Johnson, this will be another thing.
00:38:00.300
What is your idea about the timing of when we get to the top line number?
00:38:08.740
I just heard this morning from a credible but not authoritative source that it might
00:38:12.960
be 1.606, the fiscal responsibility number that was voted into law last year that was
00:38:23.020
So I guess that would be a modest step in the right direction if it didn't go higher,
00:38:30.740
I cannot confirm that's absolutely true, but that's what I heard this morning.
00:38:33.240
Okay, and do you know the timing when that'll have to be agreed to?
00:38:40.100
Well, it doesn't have to be agreed to until September 30.
00:38:42.920
And if you didn't get it done by September 30, there'd be a shutdown, which we've talked
00:38:49.980
However, how do you start writing the individual appropriations bills if you don't know what
00:38:55.420
But I don't know, Steve, that we ought to announce the numbers going in as a giveaway,
00:39:00.300
our leverage on the dollars if we're still trying to fight for policies.
00:39:03.680
You know, one of the reasons why we got such a bad deal on the policies most recently was
00:39:08.200
because we told them, hey, we're not going to fight you on the numbers.
00:39:10.840
And we gave the Democrats the numbers they wanted.
00:39:13.900
I don't know if it's a great thing to join with the Democrats and agree on that number
00:39:20.840
What should we look forward to on this vote today?
00:39:24.020
What's the timings going to be around 1 o'clock, I think, or is it going to be pushed up?
00:39:30.900
I think the thing, Steve, is see how many Republicans we can get with the courage to
00:39:34.200
vote no, how many to vote border security by voting no against the Ukraine deal because
00:39:38.900
I'm against Ukraine anyway, but certainly even more violently against it because of the
00:39:45.000
Same thing with even just voting for these other supplementals when we're borrowing $100
00:39:49.440
Republicans got to be the party of fiscal responsibility.
00:39:54.920
We've got some groups scoring against the bills.
00:39:57.460
But not all conservatives are in the right place they should be, especially on the Israel
00:40:04.960
Just on Ukraine, I just want everybody to be clear.
00:40:08.780
When those Republicans voting through Ukraine are voting on top of almost a trillion dollar
00:40:13.940
defense bill, giving another $60 billion to the oligarchs in Ukraine, of which Chip Roy
00:40:18.760
makes a great case, very little of that's gone to the battlefield.
00:40:21.200
And doing that with nothing for border security.
00:40:26.720
So those Republicans that vote for that are putting the security of the sovereignty of
00:40:31.720
Ukraine ahead of the security and sovereignty of this country.
00:40:38.640
And to add insult to injury, $300 million of the Ukraine, $60 billion is for border personnel
00:40:50.600
Where do people, where do people, you can't make that up.
00:41:04.960
Or is she, can we, as soon as we get, yeah, just, we can cut it.
00:41:10.160
We're going to go to the floor and MTG's speech.
00:41:13.120
Amendment number two, printed in part B of House Report 118-466.
00:41:17.780
For what purpose does the gentlewoman from Georgia seek recognition?
00:41:26.420
Amendment number two, printed in part B of House Report number 118-466.
00:41:32.960
Pursuant to House Resolution 1160, the gentlewoman from Georgia, Ms. Green, and a member opposed,
00:41:41.140
The chair now recognizes the gentlewoman from Georgia.
00:41:45.360
My amendment today would drive the amendment, the bill for Ukraine, take each dollar amount,
00:41:57.240
You see, the United States taxpayer has already sent $113 billion to Ukraine, and a lot of
00:42:08.140
This is a continuance of a sick business model that the American government continues.
00:42:14.740
The federal government continues to fund the military-industrial complex, and this is a business model that requires
00:42:23.460
Congress to continue to vote for money, to continue to fund foreign wars, and this is
00:42:29.840
a business model the American people do not support.
00:42:33.040
They don't support a business model built on blood and murder and war in foreign countries,
00:42:38.480
while this very government does nothing to secure our border.
00:42:42.280
The American people are over $34 trillion in debt, and the debt is rising by over $40 billion
00:42:53.220
But yet nothing is done to secure our border or reduce our debt.
00:43:07.240
They can hardly afford rent, and now mortgage payments are well over $3,000, where they were

Most Americans owe thousands in credit card debt.
00:43:37.300
In fact, Daily Mail's got a story that 56 million Americans carry credit card debt,
00:43:43.000
and that debt will take years to pay off, if you pay it off at all.
00:43:47.860
DoneWithDebt found that filing bankruptcy is usually not the answer,
00:43:51.720
and taking out loans to pay off credit cards usually increases the debt.

The youngest generation, young adults, don't even think they're going to be able to buy
00:44:35.120
And today in Congress, the most important thing that this body thinks should be done
00:44:40.380
is to send another $61 billion to a war in Ukraine that the American people by 70% do not support.
00:44:48.840
Mind you, this comes on the very heels of Monday being April 15th, tax day, where every single
00:44:58.040
American had to scrounge up their money and send their dollars in to the IRS.
00:45:04.140
Or some of them had to file extensions because they weren't ready and didn't have the money
00:45:09.320
But today, this body says the most important thing we can do, no, is not reduce spending.
00:45:21.420
Oh, no, we can't do that for the American people.
00:45:24.560
It's not to secure our own border that is invaded every single day, every single day,
00:45:44.360
And yet you have members of this body talking big and tough about, oh, we have to defeat Russia.
00:45:54.540
But yet all of you are unwilling to protect the American citizens that pay your paycheck,
00:46:01.940
pay the light bills in this building, and pay for this entire federal government.
00:46:15.700
But the most important thing you hear in Washington, D.C. is, oh, we have to spend Americans' hard-earned tax dollars over to Ukraine
00:46:25.000
and keep the money going to continue to murder Ukrainians, wipe out an entire generation of Ukrainian men
00:46:33.220
so that there are widows, there are fatherless orphans, there are not enough men to work in their industries.
00:46:52.680
If we support our military, support our military.
00:46:55.720
We should be funding to build up our weapons and ammunition, not to send it over to foreign countries to kill foreign peoples.
00:47:04.380
And if this body was worth what it claims to be what it is,
00:47:08.580
every single one of us would be demanding peace in Ukraine between these countries,
00:47:14.680
peace for these people, so that no more of them have to die.
00:47:23.200
Peace is the last thing Washington wants because it doesn't fit the business model.
00:47:28.280
This is a business model that they say continues our economy, protects American jobs.
00:47:38.160
We should have a business model that builds up our American companies and American jobs to serve American interests,
00:47:45.180
and our military and our government should care about protecting the national security of the United States of America
00:47:51.760
and the Americans that pay their hard-earned tax dollars to fund all of this.
00:48:09.300
For what purpose does the generalwoman from Connecticut seek recognition?
00:48:19.980
And remember, MTG would be the first to tell you she's not Churchill, right?
00:48:26.140
Particularly if you've seen the rest of this, the rest of the crap rhetoric they're throwing up.
00:48:33.300
You know, the McCall, this is the Churchill versus Chamberlain moment.
00:48:36.100
Right there, you've got it right between the eyes with something quite simple, boom, to lay out the case.
00:48:42.080
I might duly note that her amendment just got voted down by a voice vote, so it did not pass.
00:48:48.560
The thing about this debate today, unless there's really bad amendments, there's not going to be a lot of debate.
00:48:52.240
I don't think Chip Roy is going to get to speak here or any of the other, many of the other anti-Ukraine debacle money.
00:49:04.740
And the Kiev Post, and this is, I'm sure that you scratched the surface a little bit.
00:49:10.800
This is the Langley Bugles Kiev, Langley Bugles Kiev outpost, right?
00:49:23.340
Let me just make sure that Zelensky and the group of criminals that are around him understand.
00:49:28.640
When we're back in power, there's actually going to be a real investigation of where the money went, what it was spent on, what you did with it.
00:49:36.080
And as sure as the turning of the earth, the oligarchs around Zelensky, Zelensky himself, everybody associated with him, that when we track all the money and where it went and where it ended up, I strongly believe, I'll take the over on criminal charges, massive criminal charges being filed against those guys.
00:49:59.160
So Kiev Post, put it where the sun does not shine.
00:50:08.740
And I've got a couple of other things I'd like to say.
00:50:11.080
Just following on from representatives Good and Taylor Greene here, I want to go back to something that Punchbowl said on Wednesday when Speaker Johnson released his four bills.
00:50:26.780
He says, this is a major victory for President Joe Biden, who's been lobbying for months for A to Kiev.
00:50:34.580
This is a major victory for President Joe Biden.
00:50:38.140
It's not that Democrats, as Axios said on the same day in their analysis, said, it's not that Democrats are going to come and bail out Mike Johnson.
00:50:49.300
What Mike Johnson is doing is he's bailing out Democrats.
00:50:53.840
To ask the question, why are these Republicans here?
00:50:58.840
Why are they granting a major victory to President Joe Biden when he's flailing around in the water?
00:51:08.060
Because ahead of November, they're trying to help him.
00:51:10.600
These are so-called Republicans elected by members of the Republican Party, as you said, who donate, they go out, they campaign, elected Republicans who are in this in your face.
00:51:21.600
These people are trying to help Joe Biden get elected back in on in November.
00:51:30.340
There's something I had two other stories that I hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on.
00:51:39.720
I want to hit rewind and I want to take your time and say exactly what this is about.
00:51:47.800
This is a total financial bailout of Biden's failed national security and foreign policy.
00:52:09.840
You know, you look at the independent, who's that, James Carville, right?
00:52:15.260
These people realize that this administration is failing and is visibly failing.
00:52:22.800
You said you were going to, we're going to hear from him today.
00:52:26.820
People realize, independent people, Carville's not necessarily independent, right?
00:52:31.020
But people with a brain on their shoulders realize within a democratic ambit that this administration is failing.
00:52:38.760
And what Mike Johnson has done is that he has thrown this administration a lifeline.
00:52:43.340
This is probably the only thing that Joe Biden is going to be able to present to the American people in November as an achievement of his administration, right?
00:52:52.760
This is supporting Ukraine because they can have the propaganda here and pretend to be the second coming of Winston Churchill.
00:53:07.820
And I'm going to quote, this isn't Harnwell, right?
00:53:14.780
This is a major victory for President Joe Biden.
00:53:22.600
They said that the Democrats were going to be bailing out Speaker Johnson.
00:53:34.300
And to say the point once again, why are they doing this?
00:53:37.540
Why are Republicans, Republican congressmen, why are they helping the Biden administration now to give him his signature victory?
00:53:46.140
Because these people, these are the people who are more threatened by a Trump, a second Trump administration than the Democrats, right?
00:53:57.580
You know, the McColls and all the rest of them.
00:53:59.160
These are the people who really are going to get it, as you say, when the reckoning comes in November.
00:54:08.320
The Democrats are stacking the system with these loaded political DOJ hit jobs in New York, right?
00:54:16.420
And the Republicans, it's like a one-two punch.
00:54:19.220
The Democrats are now trying to close Trump's chances down in court.
00:54:25.240
And the Republicans are trying to stop this from happening by giving Joe Biden his signature achievement.
00:54:35.280
This is a major victory for President Joe Biden.
00:54:44.100
We'll leave them for Monday because I want to do it in the fullness of this vote.
00:54:47.860
Stephen A. Smith, like I said today, we'll play the clip on Monday, goes through why the minority community realizes the great replacement theories against them with his invasion of the southern border, the sportscaster and cultural commentator.
00:55:00.700
Ben Harnwell right there, because a lot of people saying, well, hold it.
00:55:03.400
Don't we have to support Johnson because this helps Trump?
00:55:08.780
Jake Sherman gave Ben the fodder and then Ben put it in a perfect package.
00:55:14.580
This is a bailout of the failed Biden regime brought to you by the neoliberal neocons in the Republican Party that support the underlying tenets.
00:55:34.440
And I realize this has been a tough couple of days.
00:55:37.880
You think we've had a tough couple of days in the last few days?
00:55:41.680
You wait till this trial starts on Monday, coupled with the open civil war that's going to take place on Capitol Hill.
00:55:46.960
Because as much as I think of Bob Good and Matt Gaetz and Anna Polina Luna and the other rest of the hard eight that aren't up for this, let me just be blunt.
00:56:01.540
If we're going to stand on principle, we've got to stand on principle.
00:56:04.120
The logistics of this, we will never turn it over to Hakeem Jeffries.
00:56:07.460
But if you're telling me that what's holding us back for holding him accountable is the fact that more of these guys like Gallagher, who's a total traitor and really a Democrat, a moderate Democrat, if it's them resigning to turn it over to Hakeem Jeffries, we need to unmask that.
00:56:23.860
We need to lance the boil, and we need to lance it now.
00:56:27.440
And believe me, folks, it's not going to be a pleasant experience.
00:56:31.700
Just like what we've got to do in Ukraine to find out what's really going on, these are not going to be pleasant experiences.
00:56:36.100
When you find out what your government on your tax dollars has been supporting, we've got to lance the boil on this party.
00:56:43.480
If we're going to have a civil war, let's have one.
00:56:45.820
If we're going to have a civil war inside the Republican Party, let's throw it down and have it.
00:56:49.700
With very few resources, we've made tremendous progress.
00:56:59.100
And what we've come up in those instances ain't perfect either.
00:57:29.520
But if you don't think in the American Revolution, they had tough days and uncomfortable days and days, and they thought people who were with them were actually Tories and traitors or traitors to the cause of liberty.
00:57:42.720
You ain't read history about the American Revolution, okay?
00:57:46.760
It was a 20- or 30-year process, and it wasn't ended until the Battle of New Orleans.
00:58:27.200
If they want a civil war in the Republican Party, let's give it to them.
