Bannon's War Room - Episode 3797： Kamala's Border Policies Murdered Laken Riley

00:00:01.000 This is the primal scream of a dying regime.

00:00:06.000 Pray for our enemies,

00:00:08.000 because we're going medieval on these people.

00:00:11.000 I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.

00:00:16.000 The people have had a belly full of it.

00:00:18.000 I know you don't like hearing that.

00:00:19.000 I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,

00:00:21.000 but you're not going to stop it.

00:00:22.000 It's going to happen.

00:00:23.000 And where do people like that go to share the big lie?

00:00:26.000 MAGA Media.

00:00:28.000 I wish in my soul,

00:00:30.000 I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:00:33.000 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:00:37.000 If that answer is to save my country,

00:00:40.000 this country will be saved.

00:00:43.000 War Room.

00:00:44.000 Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance.

00:00:53.000 Well, good morning, Americans.

00:00:55.000 Thanks for tuning in to War Room.

00:00:57.000 Again, I'm temporarily sitting in the chair that will be filled again by Steve Bannon

00:01:01.000 after he's busy out there fighting for you and me by sitting in prison so that we can stand up for our freedoms.

00:01:07.000 And I'm delighted to do it.

00:01:08.000 I'm honored to do it.

00:01:09.000 And I'm honored to have as our next guest a frequent visitor here at War Room.

00:01:14.000 My good friend, Russ Vogt, the former director of the Office of Management and Budget for President Donald Trump.

00:01:21.000 He's a good friend.

00:01:22.000 He's a warrior for freedom.

00:01:23.000 He's a good Christian.

00:01:24.000 And he's someone that we are, frankly, blessed to have had in public service and hopefully will have again.

00:01:32.000 Look, Russ is uniquely situated to talk what I've been wanting to talk about in this show, which is this continued war on the West, war on Western civilization, war on our way of life.

00:01:44.000 The extent to which people are trying to minimize what they want to just dismiss as a radical new right or, quote, MAGA Republicans and all of these things.

00:01:52.000 When what you have are Americans who are tired of having their way of life destroyed.

00:01:58.000 And it's being destroyed on multiple fronts.

00:02:00.000 Open borders is being destroyed on multiple fronts in terms of endless wars and endless conflicts and turning over sovereignty to the United Nations and these international organizations like the World Health Organization.

00:02:10.000 And all of these ways in which we're tearing down our society with woke policies, there are a lot of different topics you can cover about this attack on our way of life.

00:02:18.000 One of which and I want Russ to respond to that generally, but one of which is also the extent to which weak Republicans, uniparty swamp dwellers have been fueling this war on our way of life from right here in the nation's capital, from right here in the halls of Congress, from right there in the executive branch for years.

00:02:40.000 Republicans who campaign on fiscal responsibility and campaign on limited government and campaign on freedom and all these things and, you know, low taxes.

00:02:48.000 And they campaign on all these things.

00:02:50.000 But at the end of the day, they've been racking up debt to fund a radicalized and growing tyrannical government that is now being used and fully weaponized against the American people.

00:03:01.000 It's why Steve's in jail.

00:03:02.000 It's why you have people that are in jail because they want to pray in an abortion clinic and all the things that I talked about earlier.

00:03:07.000 So I know, Russ, you know, when I came here to Washington, I believe I recall the debt was, I think, $21 trillion when I ran for Congress in 2018.

00:03:17.000 Yesterday, it cracked $35 trillion.

00:03:21.000 Now, those are numbers that most Americans don't understand.

00:03:24.000 But I know you understand how this matters.

00:03:27.000 And I wonder if you might be able to talk a little bit about that in that context, my friend.

00:03:31.000 Well, I mean, we are fueling the bureaucracy that is aimed at the American, half the American people at least.

00:03:39.000 The side of the American people that has great concerns with the regime in power that is fundamentally anti-democratic, that has constructed an administration that puts things on autopilot like spending so that for 10, 15, 20 years, you don't even have Republicans thinking about what we're spending on because they're all focused on something that they don't have a vote on, which is entitlement spending.

00:04:08.000 And so when you look at what they're spending on, you then begin to be horrified because you think, you know, it's just big government.

00:04:17.000 OK, well, this is Jimmy Carter.

00:04:19.000 This is Bill Clinton, Department of Education.

00:04:22.000 But it's all teacher improvement, right?

00:04:24.000 It's putting money towards test scores.

00:04:27.000 It's not.

00:04:28.000 It's more better to call it a Department of Critical Race Theory.

00:04:32.000 It's funding the creation of a cultural revolution with our students and with our teachers.

00:04:39.000 And so then you have to step back and say, like, I'd rather this money be burned in a parking lot than to go and have that occur.

00:04:46.000 Or look at foreign aid.

00:04:48.000 And Mike Benz has done incredible work in helping us understand when foreign aid is and the national security establishment is talking about democracy promotion, they are generally talking about regime change.

00:05:01.000 So when you have a country like Hungary and they're like, why is your USAID funding NGOs that are making our life miserable because they don't like the nation in power?

00:05:14.000 Or why are we funding LGBT activists in Senegal?

00:05:18.000 Why are we funding gay pride events abroad?

00:05:21.000 And you're like, no wonder the rest of the world hates us because we're funding all of this.

00:05:27.000 And so, you know, it's agency by agency, Chip.

00:05:30.000 That's what people don't realize.

00:05:32.000 It's not just the Department of Justice.

00:05:34.000 It's the EPA.

00:05:35.000 It's the Department of Labor.

00:05:37.000 And it's why over time we developed the notion of it's woke and weaponized because we wanted to provide a framework and a paradigm to help people understand it's not just big government anymore.

00:05:49.000 It is a government that's aimed at us and Western civilization.

00:05:54.000 That's really what it's trying to do.

00:05:56.000 It's trying to deconstruct the West.

00:05:58.000 And then you step back and you're like, when I think of the nations of the West, who does that include?

00:06:03.000 Does that include France?

00:06:04.000 You know, Emmanuel Macron?

00:06:06.000 No.

00:06:07.000 The West is now increasingly just the United States.

00:06:12.000 And half the United States is bought into that and trying to preserve it.

00:06:17.000 And you and I both know Rafael Cruz, who came from Cuba and persecution there.

00:06:21.000 You know, he used to always – every time I see him, he says, look, if we lose this country, we're done because there's nowhere else to go.

00:06:30.000 So this election, the fight on a host of issues this year and next is about preserving Western civilization.

00:06:37.000 And if we fail, the world fails.

00:06:40.000 Russ, you just referenced, you know, who is France?

00:06:47.000 Like, who are our allies in this deal right now, right?

00:06:49.000 Who is the United Kingdom?

00:06:50.000 I would note, you know, the Muslim population in France is now growing.

00:06:54.000 I don't know what the percentage is, but it is a massive number.

00:06:57.000 I mean, I think they are at like 25% or something like that.

00:06:59.000 There are now more mosques that have been built than Catholic churches.

00:07:03.000 I think the population in the United Kingdom is now pushing 6%.

00:07:07.000 You know, I noticed, you know, Joel Berry, the editor of Babylon Bee, tweeted out earlier.

00:07:12.000 He threw out a picture of Politics UK as a new far-right protesters.

00:07:16.000 Again, quote, far-right protesters are now intimidating police officers at tonight's planned rally in Southport.

00:07:22.000 And Joel pointed out these aren't far-right protesters.

00:07:25.000 They are grieving traumatized families in Southport after three of their little girls were stabbed to death by an Islamic extremist.

00:07:31.000 That's what's going on, right?

00:07:33.000 That's what we're seeing.

00:07:34.000 We just saw the Lord's Supper.

00:07:36.000 We saw it being mocked at the opening ceremonies of the Olympics.

00:07:40.000 Now, the Olympics used to be something you could bring your kids and you could sit down and watch.

00:07:43.000 You can't do that anymore.

00:07:44.000 Why? Because it's an attack on our values.

00:07:46.000 It's an attack on our way of life.

00:07:47.000 And they're not even apologizing for it.

00:07:49.000 They're briefly apologizing that some people got mad and it might hurt their revenue.

00:07:53.000 But it's purposeful.

00:07:55.000 Like, the artist was acknowledging that it was purposeful.

00:07:57.000 Now, that rant aside, to your point, and we get back to the spending front, you know, you put together a budget, I think, with your Center for Renewing America, that you identify billions in savings by cutting woke and weaponized programs.

00:08:11.000 So what I want to try to do is tie for the American people who are listening the ability for us, if we lead and do the right thing, to constrain spending and not just say that there's, oh, just go cut taxes and don't worry about it.

00:08:26.000 You do.

00:08:27.000 Because right now what we're doing too often as Republicans for two decades is we've been saying we're going to cut taxes.

00:08:33.000 We all want lower taxes.

00:08:34.000 We all want to free up the American people and create economic growth by leaving more money in their pocket.

00:08:39.000 But when you just blindly cut taxes, and you particularly blindly cut taxes for mega corporations at war with our way of life, and you do that without cutting spending, then aren't you just further taxing the American people with inflation?

00:08:53.000 Aren't you further making it harder for the average hardworking American family and small business to survive?

00:08:58.000 And then aren't you simultaneously funding by printing money and borrowing the very bureaucratic state and tyrannical government that's undermining our way of life?

00:09:08.000 So if you could talk about that a little bit, I think that would be useful.

00:09:12.000 No, I think you're really getting to it, Chip, in the sense that inflation is, in fact, the left's strategy.

00:09:19.000 Yeah, they're happy to raise taxes.

00:09:23.000 They're fine to vote for it.

00:09:25.000 They don't actually think they're going to be successful, generally.

00:09:28.000 They think that they're going to be successful by having the Federal Reserve print money to continue to monetize the debt, to buy the bonds of the Treasury Department.

00:09:40.000 And over time, to do it at such a level that we see what occurred over the last several years.

00:09:46.000 It's why they were so resistant to doing anything, to call it anything but transitory, because they wanted the gravy train to go on as long as possible.

00:09:56.000 That is, in fact, their strategy.

00:09:58.000 And so, you know, this is something that you've got to—one of the ways I think you stay sane in this township, and you and I have known each other for a long time, is to look at what you've worked on over time and occasionally say, you know what, we had a bad strategy.

00:10:16.000 We had a bad viewpoint.

00:10:18.000 And I think when we came to this town, there was a view in the conservative movement that you could just starve the beast.

00:10:24.000 That if you cut taxes, it would force—at the time we had surplus under Bush for a few years—it would force there to be a restraint on spending.

00:10:34.000 Categorically, that has been a failure.

00:10:37.000 I didn't necessarily come up with the strategy, but it was in the water when we got here.

00:10:41.000 That—starving the beast didn't work.

00:10:43.000 It does not work.

00:10:44.000 And it has caused an entire Republican Party that doesn't like to cut spending, doesn't know how, and as a result, hasn't done it.

00:10:54.000 And they've been forced to then become kind of—I call them spreadsheet warriors, where they look at where the numbers are.

00:11:00.000 And they say, if it's not at Social Security and Medicare as a reform, then we're not doing it.

00:11:05.000 And lo and behold, they've allowed 20 years of the bureaucracy to be funded where they don't look at anything in terms of what it's going to actually fund and spend money on.

00:11:16.000 And then we wake up and we're on the precipice of tyranny.

00:11:20.000 We have a situation where just because you're an effective general in the conservative movement like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, you're going to jail.

00:11:27.000 How is that possible?

00:11:29.000 How is after 40 years of a conservative movement built up with all these institutions and many different Republican presidents and many different Republican Congresses and we're on the verge of tyranny?

00:11:40.000 Like, this stuff didn't work.

00:11:42.000 We need a different strategy.

00:11:44.000 And that's what we've tried to reorient the country around, which is we have to unite the fiscal battle with the battle to save the country from this woke and weaponized administrative state.

00:11:55.000 It's the number one issue in terms of where we are in addition to getting control of the border and the inflation that we're seeing right now.

00:12:03.000 We've got to return self-government to the American people.

00:12:08.000 In your 2023 budget that you guys put out, you noted that the annual cost of interest payments will exceed the Pentagon's budget within the next 10 years.

00:12:16.000 Now, that's happened sooner than expected because interest costs $892 billion are expected to pass the Pentagon's budget this year of $886 billion.

00:12:26.000 I point that out just so the American people can understand the context and how bad this is getting.

00:12:32.000 On a good note, and I want to see what your thoughts are on this because I agree with you, this point about the star of the beast.

00:12:38.000 I was a product of the 80s.

00:12:40.000 I was in college in the 90s.

00:12:42.000 You know, I was watching that political, you know, theory get put out there.

00:12:47.000 Hey, let's starve the beast on it. 1.00

00:12:48.000 It made sense to me, right?

00:12:49.000 Let's constrain the amount of taxes and let's stop the money flowing into Washington. 1.00

00:12:53.000 But the truth is all they did was go print money and borrow money and leverage our kids' and grandkids' future.

00:12:58.000 So if we were extending the current tax rates, right, and extend a lot of the great pro-growth tax cuts under President Trump, which we had R&D cuts and expensing.

00:13:08.000 I mean, you know, R&Ds and expensing as well as lower personal rates for hardworking families.

00:13:13.000 All those are good things.

00:13:15.000 But there's a lot of other, you had the corporate rate reductions and other things.

00:13:18.000 All of this stuff, if we extend what we have in place, I'm told that over 10 years, that's north of $4 trillion, upwards of $4.6 trillion, that you've got to figure out where that's going to come from.

00:13:31.000 Now, you either have to cut spending in order to offset that, or you've got to deal with the tax rates.

00:13:36.000 So for me, I think we ought to be talking about, look, how are we going to pay for this stuff?

00:13:40.000 One way to do that is to pay for it with all the corporate subsidies that went to the Green New Deal, about $1.2 trillion that Goldman had.

00:13:48.000 We could deal with the tariffs, right?

00:13:51.000 The president talks about tariffs, and you and I have talked about that.

00:13:54.000 That could bring in upwards of a couple of trillion dollars, depending on what model you look at.

00:13:58.000 And then we could cut the woke and weaponized bureaucracy that's attacking the American people.

00:14:03.000 I believe that would be a three-pronged approach to say, let's reduce the taxes, but let's recognize you've got to cut some spending and get rid of some subsidies and make sure that if you're going to do that, well, let's go tariff some of the bad guys.

00:14:15.000 What are your thoughts on all of that?

00:14:16.000 Yeah, I think it's going to be really important to present a fiscal agenda to the American people and to the financial markets that are going to be looking at these deficits and wanting to know how you deal with the cost of a tax cut that occurs.

00:14:31.000 And so I absolutely think that that fiscal agenda should include spending cuts and going after the Green New Deal and that trillion dollars.

00:14:38.000 So absolutely would be supportive of that.

00:14:42.000 Well, Russ, thanks as always.

00:14:43.000 Keep doing the great work over there at the Center for Newing America.

00:14:46.000 I'm deeply appreciative of your friendship and all the hard work you've done for the American people and your position in public service in the past.

00:14:53.000 And I look forward to keep working with you going forward, brother.

00:14:55.000 Take care. God bless.

00:14:56.000 The petrodollar is crumbling before our eyes.

00:15:02.000 Saudi Arabia just declined to renew the 50-year-long petrodollar agreement, which means the U.S. dollar's global dominance is now riding on fumes.

00:15:12.000 How much longer until the dollar crashes in value?

00:15:15.000 Nobody knows for sure, but it's always best to be prepared.

00:15:18.000 I believe owning gold is the best solution.

00:15:20.000 Why?

00:15:21.000 Because gold safeguards your savings outside the dollar-connected financial system.

00:15:27.000 So if a crash happens, your hard-earned money will be protected inside precious metals.

00:15:32.000 Plus, with a gold IRA from Birch Gold Group, you can move your IRA or 401K into physical gold without paying any taxes or penalties.

00:16:02.000 Your host, Stephen K. Bannon.

00:16:05.000 Well, it's great to be here with you fine patriots listening to War Room.

00:16:11.000 Again, I'm temporarily sitting in the chair that we know Steve Bannon will be sitting in soon enough.

00:16:15.560 He's out there fighting for you and me by sitting in a prison cell because you've got a woke and weaponized government

00:16:22.000 that has been targeting American citizens from Peter Navarro to Steve Bannon to all of the people I articulated before being targeted by the FACE Act.

00:16:29.880 A 75-year-old grandma who's sitting in prison or will be reporting to prison next week in Texas simply for praying an abortion clinic. 0.67

00:16:36.800 And one of my good friends, no stranger to this show, is my colleague from Florida, Matt Gaetz.

00:16:42.100 I'm delighted to have him join here in just a second.

00:16:44.520 Matt has been a warrior.

00:16:45.740 He's a warrior defending President Trump, a warrior defending freedom, a warrior to try to fight to dismantle the Uniparty

00:16:54.120 and the massive swamp that we've got going on here in Washington that is, frankly, operating against you, the American people.

00:17:02.380 But importantly, as we've been talking about this whole show, we've been talking about the war on Western civilization.

00:17:07.580 We've had a good conversation about why we need to be, as the so-called new right, the MAGA Republicans who want to push back,

00:17:14.920 why we need to be steadfast and confident that we are doing the right thing by standing up to defend our Western civilization,

00:17:20.960 our values, our American freedoms, the Constitution, the Declaration, but importantly, our way of life as Americans.

00:17:27.640 So Matt's been out there at the forefront of this. 0.96

00:17:29.880 And one of the issues he's been focusing on a lot is making sure that we root out all of the woke garbage that's infesting our military, 0.99

00:17:39.520 our Secret Service, our FBI. 0.96

00:17:42.000 And so Matt's been going after, just yesterday, the Air Force over, quote,

00:17:47.080 microaggressions document warning airmen not to tell someone to toughen up.

00:17:51.760 That's our military.

00:17:53.060 Matt, welcome to the show.

00:17:55.180 Thanks so much, Chip.

00:17:56.080 And I know you and I often hear directly from service members about these bizarre pronouncements

00:18:02.000 that come down from the Pentagon that get in the way of building the capabilities for our military that matter so much.

00:18:08.780 And in this case, there's a memo circulating that if you tell someone in the Air Force to man up or that they are savage or that they've got to toughen up,

00:18:20.620 that these are actually microaggressions that we need to stay away from.

00:18:23.800 Now, I don't think the Chinese and the Russians and the Iranians are worried about their microaggressions. 1.00

00:18:30.180 Frankly, we know the Israelis are worried about their microaggressions. 1.00

00:18:32.780 They were possibly taking out the Hamas leader in Iran, which good for them for doing so. 1.00

00:18:38.040 But the fight that we see in the House is, I think, crystallized by these segments.

00:18:43.500 Yep, I know our buddy Eli Crane's coming up.

00:18:46.140 I was just watching The Wizard of Oz.

00:18:48.560 And I think the House of Representatives has been infected with a Wizard of Oz mentality in our leadership.

00:18:55.040 First, we had Paul Ryan, who had no heart.

00:18:58.540 Then we had Kevin McCarthy, who had no brain.

00:19:01.240 And now we have Mike Johnson, who has no courage.

00:19:04.900 And so I guess the converse of that is what we see with some of our friends in the Freedom Caucus,

00:19:10.360 where Andy Biggs is the heart, Eli Crane is the courage, and everybody in the posse needs to know that Chip Roy is the brain.

00:19:20.300 And that's kind of how we function against a system that lacks some of those core principles and values.

00:19:26.860 And I know you were pissed about this, Chip, when we left town.

00:19:29.860 And the posse might not really grasp what an abdication this is.

00:19:35.700 But between now and the November election, we have three voting session weeks in Washington, D.C.

00:19:42.300 Now, if you and I were in charge, if we had committee gavels to be able to haul folks in on the border, on the censorship industrial complex, on what we see with these spending programs that go unauthorized, that have now driven us past $35 trillion in debt.

00:20:01.620 There is something to hammer every day, there is a fight to be had, the posse is ready to go.

00:20:07.860 And yet we have three weeks between now and the election, it's almost as if the mentality right now in Washington is nobody else has to row, Trump's got this.

00:20:18.820 Trump will carry us over the finish line, we don't have to have an agenda, we don't need to have a work ethic, we don't need to be passing bills.

00:20:25.420 We can just count on Trump to carry us all over, and I think that is abandoning our post in a lot of ways.

00:20:33.000 So I'm glad you've got us on.

00:20:35.420 I gotta say, before I hand it back to you, what a night in Arizona last night.

00:20:40.160 It was a night for the fighters.

00:20:42.400 Abe Hominay won, that was a big campaign the posse was involved in.

00:20:46.940 Carrie Lake winning her primary.

00:20:48.900 And by the way, Kim Jong-un just called and wants to know why Eli Crane is running up the margin so much that it's gaudy.

00:20:58.880 Eli Crane got 80% of the vote in a primary where Kevin McCarthy had gone and recruited an opponent against him.

00:21:05.660 I can't wait to hear from him in the upcoming segment.

00:21:07.960 But I just have to lend my voice to the fact that, you know what, courage is popular.

00:21:11.820 When people go take on the system and fight these deficiencies in our government, they will be rewarded by the voters just as Eli Crane was yesterday.

00:21:22.640 Well, Matt, I do want to talk about that.

00:21:25.020 I do want to give my congratulations to Eli and Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar and the great warriors and conservatives who just had a great victory in the night in Arizona, as you said, Carrie Lake.

00:21:32.560 And that's a great day.

00:21:34.160 It's a great thing for America.

00:21:35.180 We've got these warriors out there, as you just said, in the posse.

00:21:37.580 But I don't want to leave totally.

00:21:40.440 I'll just take one more minute just to highlight what you're talking about here with this absurdity with the Air Force and what that means for the state of our military is so critically important.

00:21:50.260 And that's on the heels of countless dozens, hundreds of examples that we have in Congress.

00:21:54.780 Most recently in the Fort – I'm going to call it Fort Bragg, again, speaking of woke – but the Fort Bragg briefing where they called pro-lifers terrorists and extremists.

00:22:04.340 I was just pulling up the article to remind myself, specifically identifying National Right to Life and others as extremist organizations.

00:22:10.800 This is all purposeful.

00:22:11.960 They're doing it on purpose to not just go target those individuals but break the back of a military culture that served this country well for now almost 250 years.

00:22:20.940 But I think you hit on something.

00:22:22.660 We talk about fighters.

00:22:23.980 You hit on something that I think we need to focus on, which is why did we leave town?

00:22:29.780 Now, I'm actually still in D.C.

00:22:31.580 I'm sitting here, obviously, in war room because I had meetings set up to work for the American people.

00:22:36.380 But we left a week early, and we didn't pass the 12 appropriations bills.

00:22:41.180 We only passed five.

00:22:42.380 We didn't pass a continuing resolution into next year so that we can give the pen to Donald Trump instead of to the Democrats in December.

00:22:49.300 We didn't attach to that continual resolution, the SAVE Act, which President Trump called for so we can ensure that only citizens vote, and then club Democrats for the next seven weeks.

00:22:59.920 We adjourned.

00:23:01.240 We left town for seven weeks, and we're going to come back for three weeks in September.

00:23:04.800 And you said it well.

00:23:05.900 You've got a lot of people in this town who want to grab hold of Donald Trump's coattails and pray that they can ride him through November in order to get to some sort of victory so they can have power.

00:23:14.580 But we have an obligation to go fight for the people and give people a reason to show up.

00:23:20.660 And that's precisely what Eli Crane and our friends in Arizona did.

00:23:24.280 It's precisely what you're doing.

00:23:25.960 I'll be delighted to come down to Florida to come help you and make sure you win.

00:23:28.920 I expect you to win by 80 percent at least, Matt.

00:23:31.340 And we'll make sure that we keep the posse.

00:23:34.420 But can you talk about that a little bit further, about what we would have done and what you think we ought to do when we come back in September to lay the groundwork for fighting?

00:23:41.880 Yeah, what you're watching right now is just rhythmic Washington.

00:23:45.360 This is the rhythm that screws the American people and drives us into debt.

00:23:49.660 Get to September, go on August recess without conducting the appropriations work.

00:23:55.560 Do a short-term continuing resolution to December.

00:23:58.540 Back everybody up against Christmas holidays and the end of the year.

00:24:03.060 And then, lo and behold, you'll hear all the language of cleaning out the barn with another big, hairy, omnibus bill that has a bunch of earmarks in it for Democrat senators, that has a bunch of pork in it for people who are willing to just hold their nose and continue to avoid the programmatic review that you and I have been calling for to drive down spending.

00:24:24.400 And you're right, that does empower Democrats.

00:24:26.860 And if you don't think that these Biden administration officials are gonna take their last bite now that they know that Biden has rotted on the vine, they will absolutely do everything they can to empower the worst features of this government going after people who were at the Capitol on January 6th.

00:24:44.740 They're still doing that, by the way.

00:24:46.440 We didn't defund any of that.

00:24:47.960 The special counsels that have totally gone off the rails, that'll be funded.

00:24:51.680 And the one you and I spent a lot of our time on, the border invasion.

00:24:55.580 We were told in the last omnibus that it was a big win for the American people, that the NGOs that are funding the invasion got cut like 15%.

00:25:05.100 That's not good enough.

00:25:07.080 We have to end the invasion.

00:25:08.600 That means stop funding it.

00:25:10.260 That means securing the border.

00:25:11.780 And then that means internal enforcement of our immigration laws.

00:25:14.820 We could make these demands.

00:25:16.080 We could have demanded in a legislative funding package this past week a requirement that your bill protecting the vote from illegal aliens be included in anything that goes forward. 0.82

00:25:29.400 That would have empowered the supervisors of elections who actually want to do the right thing to be able to scrub out the illegal aliens voting, to check for citizenship status. 0.99

00:25:38.260 But we missed that opportunity.

00:25:39.940 And it's because of the lack of courage.

00:25:43.160 And I don't know why people don't see the results from people like Eli Crane and say, yes, I want to be a fighter like Eli.

00:25:49.760 Give us 50 Eli Cranes in Congress. 0.90

00:25:51.800 We could save the country.

00:25:53.200 But unfortunately, we're kicking the can down the road.

00:25:56.200 And that has to be called out even within our own team.

00:25:58.580 Man, I'd love to have 50 Eli Cranes in Congress.

00:26:03.220 I'm with you, brother.

00:26:04.400 Hey, let's set up Eli here.

00:26:06.380 What are your views and your feelings about the task force that has been created to go zero in on exposing and finding the truth with respect to the very clear assassination attempt that almost took the life of former President Trump, a Republican nominee?

00:26:24.400 And, you know, how do you see that playing out?

00:26:26.680 Obviously, Eli wasn't put on there.

00:26:28.160 We have a couple of good friends that were, Clay Higgins and a couple of folks.

00:26:32.500 But how do you feel about it in this last minute and a half?

00:26:35.400 Yeah, no, there are good people on that committee.

00:26:38.300 But let's be honest.

00:26:39.100 This was assembled like it was like an energy and commerce subcommittee.

00:26:42.140 Like you had to have geographic balance.

00:26:44.460 You had to have your like DI picks or whatever.

00:26:47.320 And my concern on this committee is that you excluded the people with the most experience over politics.

00:26:55.740 Let's just be straight.

00:26:56.460 The reason Eli Crane and Corey Mills, two actual snipers in the United States Congress, aren't on this committee is because they don't vote for the spending bills.

00:27:04.200 That's why.

00:27:05.140 And so the signal here for the posse is they're trying to say that if you vote against the bad spending bills, even when you're the most qualified, we're gonna diminish your experience in the United States Congress.

00:27:15.820 That's absurd.

00:27:17.820 So I want to do everything we can to help the task force be successful.

00:27:21.040 But let's let's acknowledge what we're seeing.

00:27:23.680 Politics, not a real alignment of people's technical skills with the mission at hand.

00:27:29.180 And that's why we can't have nice things.

00:27:33.200 Well, I agree with you, Matt.

00:27:34.700 You know, keep up the fight.

00:27:35.720 Keep up the Lord's work.

00:27:36.780 I look forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks down in Florida.

00:27:39.560 We'll keep the fight going on in August.

00:27:41.420 And look, how can people follow you?

00:27:43.640 What's your social media, brother?

00:27:45.400 At Matt Gates and at rep Matt Gates everywhere on the Internet.

00:27:48.020 MattGates.com if you want to help me fight Kevin McCarthy in Florida.

00:27:50.720 Well, if you're going to follow him, follow me, too.

00:27:55.320 So anyway, good to see you, Matt.

00:29:15.340 Great to be back.

00:29:16.300 This is Chip Roy, delighted and honored to fill in for Steve Bannon temporarily until

00:29:20.880 he returns and gets back in this chair sometime soon.

00:29:24.820 We'll continue to pray for him.

00:29:26.300 And we've had a great conversation talking about the war on Western civilization, the war

00:29:30.340 on our way of life, how you and I and all of us are trying to band together to make sure

00:29:34.420 we preserve and protect our freedoms and our great way of life as Americans and our duty

00:29:38.840 to do so.

00:29:39.460 And speaking of duty, we've got one of the great patriots, one of my great friends in

00:29:44.280 Congress, a veteran, a husband and father, someone who served as a Navy SEAL, I think

00:29:52.100 for 12 or 13 years he can fill that in, served as a sniper.

00:29:56.840 He signed up after, like many Americans, after September 11th.

00:30:01.680 But he's a great human being, a great guy, someone I'm proud to call a friend, Eli Crane,

00:30:08.360 fresh off of a victory in his primary, winning, I think, 80% plus of the votes.

00:30:13.220 Had a great night in Arizona, as Matt Gaetz and I were just talking about.

00:30:17.040 Eli won and Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar and Carrie Lake.

00:30:21.060 Great night for freedom in Arizona.

00:30:22.860 So great to have my friend Eli on the show.

00:30:25.180 Talk a little bit about your election night, buddy.

00:30:26.900 Glad to have such a great victory.

00:30:28.240 Hey, Chip, thanks for having me on.

00:30:31.600 And it's great listening to you host the war room, man.

00:30:36.180 Yeah, it was a fantastic night last night.

00:30:39.980 Obviously, I think, you know, we proved that you can actually, even as a freshman, come to

00:30:45.160 Washington, D.C. and do what you tell the voters that you're going to do and not become

00:30:51.360 a part of the swamp, not become something you hate.

00:30:53.760 And I know that a lot of freshmen come into Washington believing, well, you know, if I

00:31:00.420 just, you know, if I just fall in line and do what I'm told and climb the ranks and become

00:31:05.900 a subcommittee chairman and then a chairman and then I become part of leadership, sooner

00:31:11.400 or later, I'll get to the point where I have enough power and authority to actually, you

00:31:16.800 know, do the right things.

00:31:17.860 But I got to play the game a little bit first.

00:31:20.260 And I came in with the complete opposite approach.

00:31:24.440 And that was that I'm going to do, I'm going to actually represent my voters on day one,

00:31:29.100 which put me in a lot, a lot of hot water and opposition to leadership on day one.

00:31:33.900 But honestly, Chip, looking back on it, I wouldn't have it any other way.

00:31:37.760 And I'm just grateful last last night and over the last couple of weeks that the voters

00:31:43.060 of Arizona's second congressional district showed me that if I had their back in Washington,

00:31:48.060 they'd get my back at the ballot.

00:31:52.320 Well, it's no doubt it's well-deserved.

00:31:54.200 I mean, you, and just for all the listeners out there, if you don't know Eli, you need

00:31:57.240 to, uh, one of, one of the few people you can count on to fully, and he said it, to do

00:32:02.060 what you said you would do.

00:32:03.360 And we got a lot of people who use that phrase, a lot of people who say it, but they don't

00:32:07.200 actually do it.

00:32:08.080 When push comes to shove, are you going to hold the line?

00:32:10.160 Are you going to take the tough votes?

00:32:11.480 Are you going to be willing to call it as you see it?

00:32:14.200 Uh, happy to sit down and negotiate with anybody, but are you going to be willing to stand up

00:32:17.520 for the people and put it all on the line and willing to risk so-called your election

00:32:22.740 certificate?

00:32:23.260 And when you've got patriots and veterans like Eli who put their life on the line for

00:32:28.260 you and for me, and they're, they, they know that putting an election certificate on

00:32:32.080 the line, ain't that big of a deal.

00:32:33.480 It's not, it's not even in the same zip code.

00:32:36.060 So we're, we're happy about that.

00:32:37.560 Eli talk a little bit about, um, I think JD, uh, Vance, our friend.

00:32:41.760 Obviously our colleague on the other side of the building and the Senate, and now the

00:32:45.280 vice presidential nominee, um, taking a lot of heat, which means he must be over the target.

00:32:49.580 A bunch of radical progressive Democrats and a few weak need Republicans are trying to take

00:32:54.040 shots at JD, but, uh, he's someone who understands what time it is in America.

00:32:58.060 And I know he's out in Arizona.

00:32:59.200 Can you talk a little bit about that?

00:33:00.200 I think you're doing an event with him today.

00:33:01.440 Yeah, no, we're honored to, uh, you know, go up and support JD Vance, uh, in Phoenix,

00:33:08.760 uh, later this afternoon.

00:33:10.620 And honestly, Chip, you know, he was my choice.

00:33:13.140 He was who I was hoping president Trump would pick.

00:33:16.040 Um, and I know not everybody felt the same way.

00:33:18.760 I think some people wanted him to pick somebody that might help him pull in a different demographic

00:33:24.180 or a higher percentage somewhere in the country to help him win the election.

00:33:27.460 But I wanted to see president Trump pick the guy that I thought was best fit to actually

00:33:32.440 step up and lead the country.

00:33:33.780 If anything happened to the president, and I do believe that guy is JD Vance.

00:33:38.160 When I look at his background, when I look at the fact that he came from a community that 0.59

00:33:42.960 was destroyed because of very arrogant and foolish decisions made by lawmakers in Washington,

00:33:49.080 DC on both sides of the aisle, um, you know, America first it's hardwired into this guy's 0.98

00:33:55.200 veins.

00:33:55.860 And that's one thing I love about him.

00:33:58.000 I also love the fact that whether JD, because of his background, whether he goes to a truck

00:34:03.640 stop in Kentucky or, uh, you know, cocktail party and, you know, the ritziest tech park

00:34:09.760 in San Francisco, this guy can, you know, um, you know, he can, uh, you know, touch base

00:34:16.420 and communicate to people and identify with, you know, Americans.

00:34:20.780 And I think that that's hard to do.

00:34:22.720 And I've known some, you know, really strong politicians that have a tough time identifying

00:34:26.720 with people.

00:34:27.380 And I think JD does a great job of that.

00:34:29.980 And so I'm excited that president Trump chose him and, uh, you know, I'll do anything I

00:34:35.200 can to help support him.

00:34:38.720 Yeah.

00:34:39.080 I'm on the same page with you, Eli.

00:34:41.100 Uh, and look, I'm, I'm pretty honest guy, but I call it like I see it.

00:34:44.720 Um, I don't always just get in line cause I'm being told to I'm, I'm proud of, of JD.

00:34:50.240 Uh, and look, I, and you might be able to expand on this too.

00:34:52.960 I've, you know, a lot of these attacks on him, it's like, Oh, he's flip flopping.

00:34:55.660 He's changing his views.

00:34:56.580 He's doing this on the other.

00:34:57.760 I don't see that at all.

00:34:59.260 I see this as someone who saw, uh, you know, the way of life that, that he obviously, uh,

00:35:04.660 famously wrote about in his book and hillbilly elegy and, um, you know, that he's gone on

00:35:09.260 and then he ran on and now has been carrying out in his term in Senate.

00:35:12.980 I mean, I don't always agree with him and I don't always agree with you, but we agree

00:35:15.360 on most things about what the state of play is and what time it is in America.

00:35:19.580 And I think it's really important for people to understand that about where JD is coming

00:35:23.080 from and I think that perspective that he's offering, I mean, you know, that for too long

00:35:26.800 Republicans have just been in the tank for, you know, expanding government while they say

00:35:31.300 they're for limited government, but for corporate cronyism and doing deals with K street and

00:35:35.480 being happy to hop in bed because K street tells them to, and that all of that is undermining

00:35:40.360 the American family and hardworking Americans who don't believe that they can achieve the

00:35:45.580 American dream.

00:35:46.220 They don't believe they can afford a house.

00:35:47.540 They don't believe they can send their kids to school or, or have them get a trade and

00:35:51.440 be able to get married and have the American dream laid out in front of them.

00:35:54.980 And I think JD gets that.

00:35:56.880 And I think it's really critically important.

00:35:58.460 And do you think that's resonating with the people out in Arizona?

00:36:01.200 And do you think that, that I'm right in that characterization?

00:36:05.880 I definitely do.

00:36:07.260 And, you know, I talk to people all the time out here, obviously, and I do sense an excitement

00:36:12.720 about the VP pick.

00:36:14.640 Like I said, because I think he's one of the few guys that Americans actually believe is

00:36:20.240 positioned and has the intelligence, the communication skills and the necessary background and experience

00:36:27.560 to actually step up and lead and chip little inside baseball.

00:36:31.500 You and I meet with the freedom caucus all the time in Washington, DC.

00:36:35.580 And, you know, JD is one of the few senators that comes to break bread with us and, you know, to collectively

00:36:43.860 look at how we're going to fight the swamp and the uniparty in DC, you know, regularly.

00:36:49.960 And so that's another thing that I want the war room posse to know.

00:36:52.920 This guy, he's not just a, you know, he's not just a great talker.

00:36:56.800 He's, he's one of the guys that actually is making plays, making things happen in Washington

00:37:02.220 and working, you know, um, with the house of representatives to, you know, make sure that

00:37:08.680 we have a plan in place to get some of the things done that he's promised the American

00:37:13.120 people.

00:37:15.780 Well, I know you've got stuff you got to go do.

00:37:17.800 So in the time we've got less left in this segment, I want to get your thoughts on the

00:37:22.180 task force that was created.

00:37:23.640 And I asked Matt about this a little bit ago, uh, in preparation to you appearing on the

00:37:28.100 show, because look, you know, you, um, served as a sniper, uh, one of the most elite snipers

00:37:33.820 in the world.

00:37:34.580 And, you know, you've been up to Pennsylvania.

00:37:37.080 You've gone to the scene.

00:37:38.420 I know you've got thoughts.

00:37:39.840 Uh, you don't necessarily have to repeat the stuff that I know you've already put out there

00:37:42.520 publicly, but we've got this task force that was announced the last, you know, couple

00:37:46.120 of days, uh, you and I have good friends on there, you know, shout out to our good friend

00:37:49.660 Clay Higgins, for example, uh, you know, uh, Mark Green's a good friend.

00:37:53.680 I mean, we've got, I don't want to single anybody out, but I feel like it was still a

00:37:57.260 little bit of a sort of check the box task force and not quite built around the idea of

00:38:02.400 having everybody that could be on there.

00:38:04.300 There are people like you, people like Corey Mills with sniper experience, uh, others that

00:38:08.700 might've been a central to it.

00:38:10.160 I mean, look, I, I didn't ask to be on it.

00:38:12.060 Uh, I offered, you know, put myself out there.

00:38:14.000 I'm the former, uh, assistant United States attorney and first assistant attorney general of

00:38:17.580 Texas.

00:38:17.840 I've dealt with things like this, but you know, look, bottom line is, uh, how do you

00:38:21.980 feel about it?

00:38:22.760 And importantly, what is your current view of kind of what happens and where the state

00:38:26.320 of the investigation is?

00:38:27.400 Obviously the secret service head has stepped down. 0.83

00:38:29.960 Uh, Chris Ray was making crap up about, oh, it's shrapnel and not a, not a bullet that 0.98

00:38:34.840 hit the president's ear. 0.95

00:38:36.040 Usual nonsense out of the FBI, but they've since clarified that.

00:38:39.300 So what are your thoughts on the investigation?

00:38:41.220 What are your thoughts on the state of play and, uh, and how things are shaping up?

00:38:45.940 Yeah.

00:38:46.340 Thanks chip.

00:38:47.400 Yeah.

00:38:47.540 I tend to agree with Matt on, uh, how that task force was formed.

00:38:51.980 I, obviously it's, it was disappointing to me that I believe there's three snipers, actual

00:38:57.400 snipers in Congress, myself, Corey Mills and Morgan Luttrell as well.

00:39:01.340 And not one of us was placed on, um, that task force.

00:39:05.020 I think that's a massive problem, obviously, because the shooter himself, you know, was,

00:39:09.640 uh, you know, training in marksmanship.

00:39:11.700 We know that, and then obviously you had, you know, several counter sniper teams that

00:39:16.540 were, you know, designed and designated to hunt him and take him out.

00:39:20.280 And so, you know, a lot of, a lot of this investigation is going to be looking at those

00:39:25.140 things, those fields of expertise and not having one of us on there.

00:39:29.220 I think even though knowing that the task force has to be varied and have different expertises

00:39:35.340 on there, I think that was a huge failure.

00:39:37.460 But again, Chip, I think it's one of the reasons the American people don't trust the federal

00:39:41.880 government to get to the bottom of this.

00:39:43.620 Um, and even if we did get to the bottom of it, I don't think that they trust the federal

00:39:47.920 government to actually release the actual facts.

00:39:52.040 Um, but to put some political veneer over it, um, to gaslight the American people into

00:39:57.580 whatever, um, they want them to believe, which is exactly in my opinion, why we still haven't

00:40:03.540 released, um, the Kennedy assassination files.

00:40:07.120 Some of those files are still obviously being, uh, kept with a close hold.

00:40:12.200 And so, you know, yeah, I'm just disappointed with the entire thing.

00:40:15.500 I'll continue to do whatever I can, um, to help get to the bottom of it, but it is going

00:40:20.860 to be a lot more difficult for some of us, um, that won't have the access that that task force

00:40:25.500 does.

00:40:27.940 Well, let me ask you, I think the, the, I mean, hardest question, right?

00:40:31.660 I mean, there is very clear incompetence, very clear, uh, DEI type focus and so forth at

00:40:40.760 the secret service FBI and otherwise, uh, there was very clear, uh, balls dropped communication

00:40:46.800 problems, uh, look like they had, and now I want to get to the other part where it looks

00:40:51.180 like they were purposely putting more assets and resources towards Jill Biden and towards

00:40:55.900 other places, rather than the former president of the United States and Republican nominee,

00:40:59.500 that that was a strategic decision that they made.

00:41:02.140 So here's my question.

00:41:03.320 And, and you don't have to answer it fully if you don't want to yet, as you're still

00:41:06.800 looking at the facts as am I, but was this just incompetence?

00:41:11.380 It was clearly incompetence, but was it just incompetence, just politically correct, uh,

00:41:18.200 nonsense running amok that has damaged our institutions or was there willful blindness

00:41:23.300 here?

00:41:24.200 Was there, you know, there, there, it's a, you know, you, you don't have to make the leap

00:41:27.960 fully that the, that the, you know, federal officials were somehow involved or knew the kid,

00:41:32.720 whatever, that's all investigation stuff.

00:41:34.320 But willful blindness is a whole nother piece to this where they're like, eh, you know,

00:41:38.820 so there's an Iran, uh, threat against former president Trump and whatever.

00:41:42.260 We're going to put all of our really good assets over here and we're going to, you know, not

00:41:45.900 really focus on it over here.

00:41:47.100 And then you get this result.

00:41:48.540 What is your view on that?

00:41:50.140 Uh, in this little bit of time we got left?

00:41:53.240 Yeah, no, Chip, I'm, I'm definitely open to all of it.

00:41:56.620 You know, I'm not going to detach what happened, the specifics that I've already seen on J13.

00:42:02.720 From the lead up to that, you know, that the, the countless times where Trump was called

00:42:09.020 Hitler, you know, in the media and by Democrats and that dog whistle.

00:42:13.220 And I believe many of them, you know, wanted to drive, you know, that type of, um, very dangerous

00:42:20.700 rhetoric to some, you know, wild and crazy individual that, you know, might follow through

00:42:26.620 and do his duty to eliminate the next, you know, modern day Hitler. 0.79

00:42:31.260 So I can't detach myself from that.

00:42:33.700 You know, some of the articles comparing Trump to Caesar and how there was a just, there was

00:42:39.040 a justification to take him out because he was going to be this next dictator.

00:42:43.180 I can't detach myself and what happened, you know, in the past from what happened on J13.

00:42:50.220 So I think it's absolutely possible that there's more to this story than just incompetence.

00:42:57.200 Eli, God bless you.

00:42:58.220 How can people see you on social media real quick before we cut?

00:43:01.920 Eli Crane, CEO and Rep. Eli Crane.

00:43:05.260 Thanks, Chip.

00:43:06.020 Appreciate it, man.

00:43:06.820 God bless you.

00:43:10.000 The kind of danger only real Americans are ready for.

00:43:19.020 what's coming and knows that the government won't help you.

00:44:13.880 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:44:15.940 Bannon.

00:44:16.240 Well, again, it is Chip Roy from the 21st Congressional District of Texas.

00:44:23.560 Proud to represent my fellow Texans there.

00:44:25.480 Proud to be sitting in this chair in which Steve Bannon will be sitting sometime soon, Lord willing,

00:44:31.760 after he is doing time in prison for you and me, for his country.

00:44:37.020 He's never shied away from wanting to serve his country, whether he's in the military or now.

00:44:41.460 And, you know, that's, I think, the critical thing we need to all be focused on here as we have been talking these two hours about the assault and the war on Western civilization.

00:44:51.800 The amount of frustration that we just heard from my friend Eli Crane and Matt Gaetz, great warriors for freedom, that are frustrated that we left town.

00:45:00.200 Frustrated that Congress took off for seven weeks while the American people, American families are still hurting, while our borders are still open, while we still have the possibility of non-citizens voting. 0.87

00:45:12.620 When we haven't done our job to fund government at the levels that should be funded, cutting spending and lowering the size and scope of government.

00:45:20.480 And we left town and we shouldn't have done that.

00:45:23.640 And, you know, we're watching a, you know, embarrassment, but frankly, something worse than an embarrassment of our Republican form of government and the way our processes are supposed to work.

00:45:35.760 Where the Democrat regime just ensconced Kamala Harris as their nominee. 0.74

00:45:40.700 And they did so after years of a cover-up, literally years of a cover-up of the mental state of the president.

00:45:50.500 This is something we've talked about regularly, whether it's in the context of the 25th Amendment.

00:45:54.880 This is clearly someone who shouldn't have the nuclear codes.

00:45:57.340 This is clearly someone who should not be commander-in-chief right now with the full ability to carry us out to war when I'm not sure you can spot cat if you, spell cat if you spot him the C and the T.

00:46:07.700 And the fact is, Kamala Harris was put in place for political reasons only.

00:46:13.460 Our Democratic colleagues, my Democratic colleagues, the radical progressive Democrat regime, they don't care that this country is endangered by having someone with the mental deficiencies that we currently see from the president of the United States.

00:46:28.860 They don't care about that.

00:46:30.280 What do they care about?

00:46:31.300 Political power.

00:46:32.940 They care about what can happen in November.

00:46:35.820 Can they win?

00:46:36.580 They were perfectly happy having Joe Biden there as long as he was the Manchurian president, as long as they could pull the puppet strings, as long as they could advance their radical progressive agenda to remake Western civilization, blow holes in our borders, allow criminals on our streets, weaken our country, endless wars abroad, undermine our energy, security, and freedom. 0.97

00:47:00.800 Undermine our ability to live our life the way we want to advance a woke agenda, destroying our military, destroying our secret service, destroying our FBI, turning it against us.

00:47:11.120 They were all happy to have a president they could use as a puppet to do that.

00:47:14.720 But when it became clear that he couldn't get the job done to win in November, then and only then were they willing to ensconce Kamala Harris as their hope to try to shake things up.

00:47:26.100 Then you end up with a vice president with people twerking on the stage and with random transgenders coming to the White House and advancing this radical agenda. 0.88

00:47:37.800 And then they have the audacity to call J.D. Vance weird.

00:47:40.520 When J.D. Vance is happily married, happily married and as a father, as someone who wants to stand up for hardworking people from Ohio, hardworking people across this country who are being left behind.

00:47:55.780 So he's the weirdo in the eyes of this radical progressive left.

00:47:59.980 The fact is we are at a new time for choosing, a new time for Americans to figure out what we're going to do.

00:48:06.860 Whether we're going to stand up, as Steve often says, when he's sitting behind this microphone, whether we're going to show up to the fight.

00:48:13.720 And 60 years ago, come October, President Reagan gave his famous time for choosing speech.

00:48:19.940 Now, that was in the context of Barry Goldwater, another great patriot from Arizona, running against LBJ.

00:48:27.560 But that speech wasn't about choosing Goldwater over LBJ per se.

00:48:33.160 It was about the choice we had as Americans at the time.

00:48:36.060 And would we choose freedom?

00:48:38.060 Would we choose limited government?

00:48:39.800 Would we choose to stand up for our beliefs?

00:48:42.560 Or would we be, in his words, on the ash heap of history?

00:48:46.760 And I regret to inform you that we unfortunately chose incorrectly.

00:48:52.460 We took the easy path.

00:48:54.900 We continued to tax and spend.

00:48:57.200 And then ultimately, not tax and spend, borrow and spend, print and spend.

00:49:01.360 We increased the size and scope of the government.

00:49:03.700 And we have been funding, with Republican support and help, we have been funding, with a uniparty swamp, we have been funding the very government that is at war with your way of life.

00:49:13.900 That's the truth.

00:49:15.200 Those of us sitting up here in the belly of the beast trying to fight it, we're the ones that are deemed the problem.

00:49:19.640 We're the ones who are criticized by our Republican colleagues in the House and the Senate who say, well, why can't you just get along?

00:49:27.680 Well, I didn't come here to be popular among members of Congress.

00:49:32.040 I came here to represent 750,000 Texans.

00:49:35.760 That's what I said I would do.

00:49:37.880 And that's what we have to keep in mind right now in front of us.

00:49:41.240 In our history as America, we don't have to choose this road.

00:49:45.880 We don't have to choose the path the radical progressive Democrats want to take us down.

00:49:50.400 Our founders didn't accept tyranny.

00:49:52.040 They fought it.

00:49:53.340 Their sons didn't accept invasion in 1812.

00:49:56.740 We didn't back off when the very building I work in was burned, when the White House was burned.

00:50:02.200 We stood strong.

00:50:03.340 We stood up.

00:50:04.460 We didn't accept the march of the various tyrannies of the 20th century.

00:50:08.140 Our boys didn't jump out of those boats and then turn around and run away.

00:50:12.400 They didn't go up to the cliffs and say, nah, sorry.

00:50:14.840 They didn't go get over the cliffs and then go get to the foxholes in Bastogne and say, yeah, not worth it.

00:50:20.840 No, they finished the job and they did it for something bigger than themselves.

00:50:25.200 And that's the fight we have before us today.

00:50:27.180 Are we going to take the easy road or the hard road?

00:50:29.240 Are we going to keep walking around with our handout?

00:50:31.980 Are we going to ask for more from the welfare state of a government that is saying that they can tell us how to live our lives?

00:50:38.460 Tell us that a gas can can't actually pour properly.

00:50:41.300 Tell us exactly how we should go about being a parent.

00:50:44.840 Put themselves in our schools, leave our borders wide open, allow criminals on our streets, spend money we don't have, $35 trillion of debt.

00:50:52.700 Are we going to continue to empower those people?

00:50:54.640 Are we going to stand up and fight?

00:50:56.360 Today we've had people on here talking about how this war on Western civilization, it's real.

00:51:01.180 It's in front of us.

00:51:02.460 We've got to recognize it and do something about it.

00:51:05.300 I'm honored to serve in Congress.

00:51:06.520 I'm honored to sit in this seat.

00:51:08.080 If you want to hear from me, you can go look at my Twitter account at ChiproyTX, C-H-I-P-R-O-Y-T-X.

00:51:15.740 Be giving a speech down at Young Americans for Liberty down in Orlando later this week, I think on Friday.

00:51:20.960 I will be out and about throughout Texas all of August.

00:51:24.700 I'll be joining my colleagues on the campaign trail.

00:51:27.280 We have a job to do in front of us.

00:51:29.100 If it were up to me, our job would be back here in Washington.

00:51:32.020 Let the American voters decide.

00:51:33.460 Don't try to buy their votes with promises, but go earn their votes through work.

00:51:38.060 That's what we ought to be doing when we come back in September.

00:51:40.820 I hope sooner rather than later.

00:51:42.660 We need to do the hard job of making sure that we fund this government only at the level we should

00:51:47.780 and that we stand up and fight past the SAVE Act, make sure only citizens can vote.

00:51:52.060 Let's do the job we were sent here to do.

00:51:54.200 Really proud to be sitting in this chair.

00:51:55.880 Thanks to all the listeners out there.

00:51:57.700 Stay strong.

00:51:58.480 And this is the important part.

00:52:00.220 Pray and work.

00:52:01.920 That's our job.

00:52:03.200 That's all that's ever been required of us.

00:52:05.040 I know that Steve would agree.

00:52:06.860 Pray for Steve.

00:52:07.640 Pray for this country.

00:52:08.540 Pray for freedom.

00:52:09.160 And get out there and work for it.

00:52:11.200 God bless.

00:52:13.020 I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.

00:52:18.600 First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.

00:52:22.600 This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email

00:52:28.320 and tracking our movement across the Internet.

00:52:31.440 Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence

00:52:35.900 and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this

00:52:41.640 governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.

00:52:44.680 In fact, some of the guests I've had on The War Room believe that the government will

00:52:48.480 soon expand their powers to track our every move.

00:52:52.060 If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA,

00:52:59.080 the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.

00:53:03.100 I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.

00:53:08.620 Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on

00:53:13.880 what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.

00:53:20.920 Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past.

00:53:26.720 Go to RickardsWarRoom.com.

00:53:28.720 That's RickardsWarRoom.com now to see the video.

00:53:32.700 He kills nearly 700,000 Americans every year.

00:53:37.040 Yes, heart disease is the number one killer every year, year in and year out.

00:53:40.840 Heart disease builds over time.

00:53:42.860 Hypertension, high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, diabetes, all of it affects our heart.

00:53:47.360 A healthy heart is key to being energetic as we get older.

00:53:52.680 It is never too early to take care of your heart.
