In this episode of The War Room, host Natalie Gwyneth Winters is joined by Jeff Clark to talk about a new piece from Politico detailing how radical environmental groups at the Environmental Protection Agency are already working to obstruct President Trump's agenda.
00:00:54.980It's Natalie G. Winters hosting today, Monday, August 12th, in the year of our Lord, 2024.
00:01:01.620You guys know the origins of this programming trace back to the first impeachment against President Donald J. Trump,
00:01:07.980part of the broader nullification project, as we dubbed it here in The War Room.
00:01:12.760You guys know that started not just on January 20th, but the months preceding and, of course, the months and years after.
00:01:19.040I'd argue what we're seeing with lawfare is the culmination of not the radical intensification of all that.
00:01:25.560But someone who is, of course, a good, dear friend of the show and has sort of a front row seat to what is the administrative state,
00:01:34.600the permanent political class, the in-your-face state, as Steve likes to call it.
00:01:38.720It's none other than Jeff Clark, who joins us now, to walk us through what I think is a really important story in terms of signal and not noise coming out in Politico,
00:01:49.080showing, you know, I'll just read the opening sentence.
00:01:51.660It has to do with a bunch of radical environmentalists at EPA already working to obstruct President Trump's would-be agenda.
00:03:10.700I didn't work at some other client agencies that do environmental things ranging from the Commerce Department to the Energy Department to the Interior Department.
00:03:18.800But the, you know, the EPA people actually are the ones who are most to be feared and are the ones who spend the most time trying to sharpen their knives
00:03:30.600to make it difficult for political officials who are in charge of running EPA or running, you know, any agency to actually advance the president's agenda.
00:03:40.540And certainly I saw that in the Bush administration.
00:03:44.220I think they were quieter generally as I interfaced with them in the Trump administration because I think they realized that there was a new breath of freedom,
00:03:53.260a new breath of energy that came with the Trump administration.
00:03:57.260And so I heard them raising a lot fewer objections legally or factually or based on administrative records than they raised in the Bush administration.
00:04:06.860In the Bush administration, I mean, boy, did they manage to block or slow down all kinds of things.
00:04:13.140So the fact that they've set up this pre-potential Trump administration to resistance effort is not surprising to anyone who studies the administrative state and certainly not surprising to me.
00:04:26.080And let me tell you a quick anecdote about that so you have a sense of how bad it was.
00:04:31.320And this one's actually about the Trump administration.
00:04:33.640So there is a new lawyer, political appointee, who goes over to EPA at the start of the Trump administration.
00:04:41.540And the, you know, there's a career official that that, you know, official that shall be unnamed, political official that shall be unnamed, goes to meet with.
00:04:51.180And the career official says, hey, I want to introduce you to the agency and I want to, you know, talk to you about kind of what your priorities are, et cetera.
00:05:02.720And, you know, strangely proposes a weekend meeting.
00:05:06.540And as I understand it, the relevant person, the political appointee, goes over to a bar in DuPont Circle in D.C.
00:05:17.620And there, this is a new mother, essentially, or an expectant mother at the time.
00:05:23.660I forget the precise chronology, who goes to this place.
00:05:38.780And he talks to her about how the Trump administration is going to be resisted by the career officials.
00:05:45.280I mean, this was truly shocking to me when I heard this story.
00:05:49.400No one who worked for me as a career official at the Justice Department would ever have tried anything remotely like that.
00:05:55.600But that shows you that people at EPA have a whole other level of daringness and brazenness.
00:06:03.100And this is, you know, entirely contradictory to the whole idea of having a career civil service, right?
00:06:09.760They're supposed to follow the instructions of the political officials because those are the ones who have legitimacy, political legitimacy, that traces back to the president, who is an elected official.
00:06:21.800Whereas they're just in a career bureaucracy, they're not elected by anyone.
00:06:26.240So hopefully that gives, you know, the war room posse a sense of the kinds of things you need to deal with if you're a political official of any kind, whether you're high-ranking or mid-ranking or even low-ranking.
00:06:39.260It's, I think, the kind of thing that people for many years had no understanding of.
00:06:44.340And hopefully what's happened to President Trump with the lawfare and with the internal resistance efforts and people like Anonymous, you know, the chief of staff at DHS who came out against Trump, hopefully people are awakening to that, Natalie.
00:06:59.760And this new story that came out from Politico, E&E News, is an illustration of that.
00:07:05.560You know, for all the rhetoric that we heard, oh, don't normalize Trump, don't normalize this, they acted like it was about the rhetoric and the tweets.
00:07:12.900But I think deep down it was his ability to confront and be hostile towards the kind of Washington policy consensus.
00:07:19.120I mean, you read this Politico piece, there's another great quote, I think.
00:07:22.200It's a credit to EPA, the director of this group, says that the people who've worked at the agency for years are so committed to its vision that when you see the agency being threatened,
00:07:31.180even people who really didn't always agree on different policy things understand how important it is to have an institutional EPA, in other words, be immune to who's ever elected, of course, coming from the same side of people who champion democracy.
00:07:44.540But, Jeff, I think this brings me to sort of the bigger question when we try to wrestle with the idea of, you know, deconstructing the administrative state.
00:07:52.020How much is it a problem of the individuals who are within the system, in other words, they are so committed to their, you know, climate change, cultist, radical agenda?
00:08:01.120Or is it just a function of the way these administrations, these agencies are set up?
00:10:22.000And the reason why that was the presumption is because this was training for new so-called honor grads hires at the Justice Department.
00:10:29.000These are new lawyers who are coming in either fresh out of law school or off of a clerkship of a year or two.
00:10:34.820And so they were indoctrinating them in a particular vision of the world right from the start.
00:10:41.580And they'd chosen them through the hiring processes in that way.
00:10:45.320So as one example of this, how could they stack the hiring?
00:10:49.260They would ask questions that were designed to assess whether someone was committed to the purpose of the relevant litigating division at the Justice Department.
00:10:59.500So for the environment division, that meant, are you committed as an environmentalist, right?
00:11:03.940And that's not the kind of question that should be asked at all.
00:11:06.840The issue is, can you enforce and defend federal agencies under the law based on the directives that are set by the then president of the United States
00:11:16.960and those who report to him and to whom you report?
00:11:22.600And so you can't have these stacked, you know, politically oriented, you know, sub-Rosa, like beneath the table kinds of ways of getting everyone in as a Democrat.
00:11:33.220And that's why when they do surveys, they often find out that 90, 95 percent of the lawyers at the Justice Department are Democrats.
00:11:39.640Shocker. I mean, the system's structurally stacked and it is stacked in terms of the, you know, the particular hiring decisions that are made on an individual basis.
00:11:52.580You know, President Trump obviously promulgated, you know, proposed rule for Schedule F to try to ensure that any official who exercises policy discretion essentially has to follow the policy direction of the, you know, president on down in the political chain.
00:12:10.520And if they're not doing that, they should be separated from the agency.
00:12:13.780Also, you know, we need to hire political appointees who are not going to be afraid of being intimidated by career officials.
00:12:23.060They're going to use their powers in order to ensure that they get the help they need from the officials who report to them,
00:12:29.380who oftentimes are, you know, more familiar with the bowels of the relevant agency than the newcomer coming from the outside world.
00:12:37.000And we can't be in a spot where, you know, those career officials just try to wait out the end of an administration so they can get back to what they view as normal, which to them is what the Democrats want to do.
00:12:49.620And I'm just curious, it seems like a lot of these, you know, personnel subversion efforts are typically more clandestine, right?
00:12:56.680It's unique, I think, to give such glowing coverage to these groups coming out, admitting that they're going to be sabotaging the Trump agenda.
00:13:03.840What do you think is the impetus behind that?
00:16:23.120We'll be joined shortly by the one and only Mike Benz.
00:16:26.180In the meantime, you should check out birchgold.com slash Bannon to get the latest installment of the End of the Dollar Empire, written by the one and only Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:50.680I think epitomized, particularly on the front of what is going on in the U.K., the ramifications here, how we see Christopher Steele, a named the War Room posse, may recall, in context of Russia, Russia, Russia and Russiagate, kind of using the same tricks and tactics against another ally of the War Room.
00:17:11.260Mike, if you want to walk us through this truly mind-blowing story.
00:17:16.120Well, what they're doing right now in the U.K. is they are Russiagating the Nigel Farage political movement and this sort of Tommy Robinson right-wing populist street movement in order to bring the full force of Britain's most powerful spy agencies to use them in a kind of thumbie war sneak attack against their own domestic political adversaries.
00:17:38.580And the key to this is to create a counterintelligence predicate.
00:17:42.580What you do is you say that we can't normally use MI6 against British citizens in the U.K.
00:17:48.220We can't usually use the CIA against American citizens here in the U.S.
00:17:52.140But if you say that you are spying on them and using the dirty tricks department those spy agencies are licensed to have in order to stop foreign spies or a foreign intelligence operation, then you can treat our own citizens just as though they live abroad.
00:18:08.880This is what they did with Russiagate in 2016.
00:18:11.320This is why there was such a focus on creating that fake mythology around Trump being a Russian asset is because that is what allowed the CIA and the State Department and the U.S. military and the NGO blob and the full force of our regime change apparatus abroad to be deployed inwards.
00:18:31.520Now, what's so fascinating to watch happen right before our eyes as we speak is just yesterday, the Guardian put out a headline citing Christopher Steele, no less than Christopher Steele, the former MI6.
00:18:45.520So that's, again, the UK version of the CIA, the exact former agent who is used to establish the Steele dossier to Russiagate Trump with.
00:18:55.420That is what gave rise to the CIA determination that Russia had interfered in the U.S. election and that Russia was was potentially bankrolling the Trump campaign and that whole three year witch hunt.
00:19:07.740Well, Christopher Steele came out yesterday in The Guardian and said that there is no doubt that Russians are backing the the UK populist street protests against against crime in their communities and against the runaway globalist institutions who are not answering their grievances.
00:19:26.340And then, you know, so I tweeted about that yesterday saying, do not laugh at this.
00:19:30.840This is not a silly thing. This is a predicate being laid down to use the full weight of Britain's spy agencies against Nigel Farage.
00:19:37.840And lo and behold, not even 24 hours later today, it was announced that that the British government is now looking into the finances of Nigel Farage for any traces of a Russian connection.
00:19:49.660And that could be six ways, you know, that six degrees of Kevin Bacon, you know, some some business that some random oligarch invested in 14 years ago, you know, moving to another business, moving to another bank account.
00:20:03.520And, you know, this is what they did to Trump with the whole emoluments thing.
00:20:06.460But this is going to rack up millions of dollars in legal fees for the Farage camp.
00:20:10.580It's going to saddle them with these, you know, spy allegations.
00:20:14.220And it's it's has that same debilitating effect.
00:20:17.380But it's just amazing how it's not only the same playbook with Russiagating, but the very same players with Christopher Steele and that whole U.S.-British intelligence nexus.
00:20:27.440How is there any legitimacy left with these allegations?
00:20:30.900And just even in the kind of context that we inhabit now, where I think a lot of these censorship organs have been exposed.
00:20:38.260Right. You named the censorship industrial complex.
00:20:40.860How do you think they're still able to to perpetrate these these lies?
00:20:46.420Well, they don't have legitimacy among, I think, the lion's share of the population.
00:20:50.540I think a lot of people may have had some faith in a CIA assessment of an intelligence threat before 2016.
00:20:58.880But I would say probably at least half the U.S. population now automatically assumes the opposite.
00:21:09.200Remember, the CIA has a license to lie.
00:21:12.940Plausible deniability is the name of that doctrine, just like MI6 does.
00:21:16.720These are the these are operations outsourced to spy agencies because forward facing public facing government agencies like the State Department and U.S.
00:21:29.100But, you know, the intelligence agencies are.
00:21:31.980And so they're the ones who end up doing this dirty work.
00:21:34.180But the fact is, the reason that they still have power, although they may lack legitimacy, is because they are in control of the institutions.
00:21:40.820The fact is, is as long as they are in control of the Justice Department or the Crown Prosecution Service in the U.K., as long as they are in charge of, you know, the FBI here or the U.K.
00:21:53.560Metropolitan Police or MI5 there, they can get away with it.
00:21:57.980And then they can also launder it into their allies, the sort of mockingbird media assets that they have who serve as stenographers for, you know, for for state organs.
00:22:08.940And so that gets disseminated and a critical component of the population perceives the legitimacy of what's effectively just an intelligence operation to end run the very bedrock of democracy.
00:22:21.400And speaking of outsourcing center censorship, there's a letter that I think has kind of made the Bible rounds on X today showing how it's now the EU that's trying to bully Elon Musk into censoring and fact checking President Trump.
00:22:35.940Trump, can you walk us through that sort of pressure campaign and the interesting overlaps there?
00:22:47.480This is coming from the U.S. State Department.
00:22:50.520This is coming from the U.S. Pentagon.
00:22:52.420This is coming from U.S. intelligence agencies.
00:22:54.400The whole blob, that trifecta of state, military, CIA, that defense diplomacy intelligence apparatus that stretches the U.S., U.K., and NATO, you know, Brussels.
00:23:07.620And this is this has been a long time in the works.
00:23:10.180Natalie, you and I have covered this issue of the NATO censorship law, the EU Digital Services Act, several times, actually, over the course of this year.
00:23:18.500I've been screaming for several years that it's the number one most severe existential threat to freedom in the Western world.
00:23:25.860And this is this has been a plot that's is sort of reaching its crescendo now, but started about seven years ago when Donald Trump won the 2016 election.
00:23:36.600You had all these high ranking State Department officials who were expecting to be promoted up into the National Security Council when Hillary Clinton, who was the secretary of state, became president of the United States.
00:23:49.060And it all came crashing down when Donald Trump won, you know, an election victory that even The New York Times said he only had a 10 percent chance of winning on Election Day.
00:23:59.160Now, those State Department exiles didn't just sit still and take it and let the chips fall where they where they may in a democracy.
00:24:07.780They took a very special set of skills that they had, which was diplomatic engagement with their partners in Europe.
00:24:14.660You see, these same State Department exiles, these are the folks like Dan Dan Freed, many others around the Atlantic Council, had had developed this set of skills for pressuring European governments to to change their own laws during the 2014 Crimea annexation kerfuffle.
00:24:33.900When the US overthrew the democratically elected government of Ukraine and then the eastern half of Ukraine broke off and then the US persuaded, coerced, shall we say, but persuaded might be the gentler way, all these European countries to pass sanctions on Russia.
00:24:52.140Now, these European countries did not want to do so because sanctioning Russian gas and Russian oil meant their own economies got crushed.
00:25:01.400And this is what's happened in Germany, for example, by passing these these sanctions.
00:25:05.400And now their industry, their middle class and working classes are all devastated by these US effectively imposed sanctions.
00:25:13.440But what they did is they took that same dip that dirty diplomats roadshow that they did for sanctions in 2014 and they ran it back for censorship.
00:25:22.700And they got these European countries to begin passing all of these censorship laws.
00:25:28.160NETS DG was the first one in Germany in August 2017.
00:25:31.140And now you've got things like the UK online harms bill.
00:25:34.560And basically in every NATO country, you have formal government censorship laws that have been effectively foisted by this shadow State Department cabal.
00:25:44.840And they have been NATO has also been applying top down pressure to the EU because NATO perceives its biggest threat, not a military invasion from Russia,
00:25:53.180but domestic populist political groups rising to power across NATO and simply slashing funding for the military, slashing funding for foreign aid, slashing funding for intelligence work laundered under the banner of democracy promotion.
00:26:09.420And this is what they're doing to Nigel Farage.
00:26:11.340Nigel Farage put up a graphic two days ago about how he was campaigning to slash UK foreign aid by 50 percent.
00:26:18.280Well, that's not foreign aid, by the way.
00:26:19.540That's international bribery money so that countries from, you know, from Colombia all the way to Zambia to Myanmar remain under British influence.
00:26:31.140And that's that's that's the carrot that that feeds the blob monster of of the British Empire.
00:26:38.340And so Nigel Farage, you know, what they're doing is, is their NATO perceives Farage rising to power in the UK is being a more a larger and more proximal threat to NATO than Russia.
00:26:50.140And so they're using this proxy attack of a Russiagate.
00:26:53.900Mike, I want you to hang with us through the break because I want you to give the audience a little bit of a teaser on a new piece on how this all relates to the Olympics.
00:27:01.480But Warren Posse, you know, you should check out public square dot com in the meantime to support businesses that don't hate you.
00:27:06.880And you guys know I am hot off my Claremont Institute Lincoln Fellowship, which I enjoyed so much.
00:27:12.360They have they've said they want more members of the Warren Posse there.
00:27:15.580They have a special six day all expenses paid sheriff's program.
00:27:19.140You go to Claremont dot org slash slash sheriffs to apply, sign up, check out, be lectured by people like Mike Benz.
00:27:26.460I don't know about you guys getting lectured by Mike Benz for like eight hours.
00:27:37.340And while you're at it, you can do birchgold dot com slash Bannon two to get the latest installment of the end of the dollar empire.
00:27:44.840If, like me, you're missing Steve and you haven't read all of those books, you should.
00:27:50.920Just a fun fact, the World Health Organization just yesterday announced that they're looking to grant emergency use authorization for, you guessed it, monkeypox vaccines.
00:28:00.840I guess maybe that's their insurance plan in case the bird flu pandemic fear mongering doesn't materialize.
00:28:06.580We'll be joined by Mike Benz and Rep. Bob Good after this short break.
00:28:12.260Another day, another breaking news story buried.
00:28:14.900They rather talk about anything else than what's really going on.
00:28:18.000It's not because they don't know what's happening.
00:28:20.120The media pundits and talking heads just don't want to pay any attention to it.
00:28:24.900And they particularly don't want you paying any attention to it.
00:28:27.460The real stories, you have to look beyond the headlines for them.
00:28:31.360You know the truth is being covered up.
00:28:33.340Prepare for what will come with My Patriot Supply.
00:28:36.360Since 2008, My Patriot Supply has helped millions of Americans get ready for the worst.
00:28:42.100Today, their best-selling three-month emergency food kits are flying off the shelves.
00:28:46.160Get yours right now at the website, mypatriotsupply.com.
00:28:52.300This food kit offers over 2,000 calories per day, plus with ultra-durable four-layer packaging, it lasts up to 25 years.
00:29:39.280We've got to bounce in about a minute, but Mike, I want you to give the audience just a little teaser about the news story you guys have up on NewsGuard, everyone's favorite censor in the Olympics.
00:29:48.520Yeah, well, we have these Olympics that just wrapped up here, been going on for the past few weeks.
00:29:54.740And there is a very nasty censorship gargoyle firm known as NewsGuard, whose modus operandi is to bankrupt politically disfavored news sites and targeting basically anyone who, any news site that supports editorially Donald Trump or Nigel Farage in the UK or the Vox Party in Spain or Matteo Savini's folks in Italy.
00:30:18.380It's basically a cross-NATO censorship gargoyle, and what they do is they apply these news ratings to label the integrity of news and then run that to their friends in the advertiser networks.
00:30:33.620And as folks have maybe paid attention the past week, GARM is one of them.
00:30:37.500They do sort of misinformation auditing in order to bankrupt and deprive independent news sites of having advertising revenue so that they can't be professional outlets like the New York Times or the Washington Post.
00:30:51.040It's basically, you can almost think of it like OPEC, a kind of, instead of an oil cartel, they basically have constructed a news industry cartel.
00:30:59.540Now, they also have these real-time tracking centers now in order to censor information in real time.
00:31:05.580And if folks remember, there was a big scandal about the opening ceremony of the Olympics, and many people in the West feeling like it was a betrayal of traditional values or the traditional aesthetics or optics or values emanating from the Olympics.
00:31:19.900Elon Musk commented, many people on the populist right all around the world did.
00:31:25.080And so NewsGuard's response was to open up a misinformation tracking center to track misinformation about the Olympics.
00:31:32.560And that then gets filtered into their rating of online news companies.
00:31:38.420So basically, if you had the wrong opinion on the Olympics, you have a censorship gargoyle with its board of advisors, including a former general secretary of NATO, a former head of the CIA, former head of the NSA, former four-star general, former State Department diplomat, and former DHS secretary.
00:31:55.800So we used to call this Operation Mockingbird.
00:31:59.800But, you know, it's all the way down to your opinion on the Olympics.
00:32:03.660If, you know, they cite the accounts in news sites that, you know, ridiculed the drag queen at the opening ceremony or who pointed out the crime-ridden nature of contemporary Paris.
00:32:16.160But the other thing that's nasty is NewsGuard is deeply connected to the EU Digital Services Act and the threat letter against Elon Musk today.
00:32:25.960NewsGuard has a misinformation tracking center for the EU parliamentary elections.
00:32:31.020They're a signatory to the EU revised code of practice on disinformation and basically act as a sort of de facto lobbying for increased European censorship laws.
00:32:40.980This is a U.S. censorship firm with military intelligence and statecraft high-ranking officials all on its board of advisors.
00:32:49.500So this is a very nasty brew, but it illustrates how this EU threat letter is really coming NewsGuard together with many others, but from a cabal within the United States itself to use international government censorship laws to do the dirty work that's banned under the U.S. First Amendment.
00:33:05.900Certainly. I'm sure people are going to want to read that report, Mike Benz.
00:33:10.160If people want to follow you, support the Foundation for Freedom Online, get that report and so much more.
00:33:32.180We're joined by Congressman Bob Good, who you guys and your colleagues are in a tough position thanks to the poor negotiation skills, or maybe I should say intentionally poor negotiation skills of none other than Kevin McCarthy.
00:34:08.920The number one responsibility of the House is the power of the purse, the responsibility of funding the federal government, implementing our priorities by what we fund or what we don't fund, and protecting the nation's fiscal integrity.
00:34:20.460And obviously, we've fallen far short of that for decades.
00:34:22.900It's been decades since we've passed all 12 required appropriation bills before the September 30 government funding deadline, where after which, theoretically, at least, there's a partial or a temporary government shutdown.
00:34:35.440Really, it just means that nonessential government services cease until the government is appropriately funded.
00:34:40.020But two years ago, the Democrats didn't, when they had full control of Congress, didn't pass any of our spending bills by September 30.
00:34:48.000Last year, because of the influence of the House Freedom Caucus, we did pass four by September 30, ultimately because we only passed four instead of 12.
00:34:54.980That's what led to the former Speaker McCarthy being removed as Speaker.
00:34:58.000This year, we have already passed five, but the current Speaker, Mike Johnson, when he became Speaker last October, promised we would not have the August traditional district work period.
00:35:07.900He wouldn't send us back to our districts if we didn't pass all 12 spending bills.
00:35:15.780We should be in Washington passing bills that reflect Republican priorities, that reverse the harmful policies that are destroying the country, that are still in place from Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer's regime when they had full control of government.
00:35:26.520And we ought to obviously be cutting our spending and then having a fight with the Senate and then have some kind of a meeting in the middle that reflect the fact that we control one half of the legislative branch.
00:35:36.220And because we're unlikely to do that, because the Speaker doesn't want to have a fight over the spending, doesn't want to have a fight over the funding priorities, and doesn't want to risk a government shutdown, he demonstrated that already with the continuing resolutions that were passed after he became Speaker.
00:35:49.300What the House Freedom Caucus is taking a position to say, well, then let's avoid a Christmas omnibus like happened two years ago in the last lame duck.
00:35:57.040We had a $1.7 trillion omnibus bill, some 2,000 pages, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi working together to screw the American people before the last Congress exited the door.
00:36:08.140And to avoid that, let's fund the government with a CR, continuing resolution, into the first quarter of next year so that the people's will, as expressed in the November 5 election, is reflected by how the government is funded next year.
00:36:22.040That means, Lord willing, if President Trump, a Republican House, a Republican Senate would implement our spending priorities and our spending levels instead of what the Democrats would do now if we allow them to do it.
00:36:32.280So let's fund the government now before the expiration in September 30, fund it through the first quarter, and let's attach Chip Roy's bill, the SAVE Act, which would help prevent illegals from voting in the November 5 election because it would require proof of citizenship to register to vote.
00:36:49.140So a story coming out in The New York Times today, how the rate at which people are being granted citizenship requests, I think, is the fastest in a decade, the buried lead of the story in the little synopsis.
00:36:59.220It's the New York Times says. And these new citizens, they just can't wait to vote in November.
00:37:04.200I think that's saying the quiet part out loud. But is that really the messaging that you guys are going to be honing in on in terms of illegals voting?
00:37:11.140And how can the posse help you guys amplify that message? Is it calling their representatives?
00:37:16.060How can they they do what they did so expertly with Kevin McCarthy?
00:37:19.720Yes, for 30 years now, since 1993, when Clinton was in office, it's been you've not been permitted to require proof of citizenship to register to vote.
00:37:29.640Imagine that you can't require proof of citizenship to register to vote.
00:37:33.160It's it is illegal for for illegals on non-citizens to vote in U.S. elections, federal elections.
00:37:39.100But there's no real enforcement to that effect, because, again, we don't have proof of citizenship.
00:37:43.120So what everyone needs to do is call upon particularly the Republican rep or if they're in a tight state in a swing in a sweet swing district, I should say, or a borders district.
00:37:52.520They need to call on their Democrat representative to support funding the government until the first quarter and attaching the SAVE Act to that.
00:37:59.700How can Democrats vote against funding the government just because they want to allow illegals to vote?
00:38:04.300Well, we know the real reason is because these illegals streaming across the border are unregistered Democrats, or so they believe.
00:38:09.520And that's why they don't want to have proof of citizenship.
00:38:11.780But we've got to do our best to try to secure the election.
00:38:14.640And that way to do that is to help do that.
00:38:16.580It certainly is to prevent illegals from voting.
00:38:20.520So in terms of stopping illegals from voting, part of it that we focus on in the show is the outright fraud, right, non-citizens voting.
00:38:28.400But in terms of the fight for kind of the legalized fraud, whether it's the dark money groups, the NGO, the Zuckerbergs, the Center for Tech and Civic Lives of the World, that though they claim they're, you know, sort of defunct now or they've rebranded, we know they haven't stopped.
00:38:41.620Have you seen any meaningful pushback or fight coming from your colleagues to really wrangle in that spending because it's just as much a threat, I would argue, as non-citizens voting?
00:38:52.040Or is that just an issue that it's not a priority for Speaker Johnson, Ukraine funding and going on vacation is?
00:38:59.320Well, unfortunately, the latter is the case because Republicans have not been willing to have a shutdown fight over the border, have not been willing to have a shutdown fight over spending,
00:39:10.540have not been willing to have a shutdown fight over our priorities that we told the American people we would implement if they gave us the House majority.
00:39:16.520And so you have what we have today, where the government funding and the priorities, the spending priorities that are in place are those that we inherited when we got elected in November of 22 and were sworn into office in January of 23.
00:39:28.340So we've still got the Biden-Pelosi-Schumer policies funding transgenderism, funding abortion, funding climate extremism, funding diversity, equity, inclusion and critical race theory, funding.
00:39:38.360These terrible policies that we run against are still in place because Republicans have not been willing to fight.
00:39:44.040And a matter of fact, in the spending bills that were passed this past year, the continued resolutions, we actually gave Secretary Mayorkas a $3 billion raise so he could bring more illegals into the country more quickly.
00:39:54.880And Republicans have let the American people down and we needed a way that we can do it.
00:39:59.940If we were to pass now a preemptive funding of the government through the first quarter into next year, then it's on to the Democrats in the Senate.
00:40:06.580Are they going to keep the government open and agree to that continuing resolution?
00:40:10.040Are they going to shut it down because they don't want to prevent illegals from voting if we attach the SAFE Act to that bill?
00:40:16.680And, Congressman, just real quick, too, I know the posse is very maniacally focused on, of course, the assassination attempt on President Trump.
00:40:24.720I know you guys have sort of started your task force.
00:40:29.120I don't really know how y'all are doing that working from home.
00:40:32.760There doesn't seem to be a lot of confidence given how the track record, most of your investigations have gone.
00:40:37.560But from your insights, you know, where do you think that investigation is going?
00:40:43.120Well, I'll say again, the Speaker should not have sent us back to our districts because we hadn't passed the spending bills.
00:40:47.660But he also should have kept that task force in D.C. to work 24-7 around the clock.
00:40:52.380Everyone that's on that task force requests to be on that task force.
00:40:55.020And he should have kept them in D.C. or in the field in Butler, Pennsylvania or wherever they needed to be to get their work done as quickly as possible to find out what the breakdown was with the Secret Service.
00:41:05.000Everything we hear about it is more concerning than what we heard the previous day.
00:41:08.340There's good people like my friend Clay Higgins from Louisiana who is on that task force.
00:41:12.140I know he's going to do excellent work on that task force.
00:41:14.460But the Speaker should have kept them in D.C.
00:41:16.020He also should have kept the committees of jurisdiction in D.C. to investigate and to hold accountable those who are letting those riots take place, the anti-Semite, anti-Israel, anti-American riots that were taking place as Benjamin Yacht, who was speaking in Washington, D.C.
00:41:33.700We should have stayed in D.C. to hold those people accountable as well.
00:41:37.480Congressman, if people want to follow you, kind of stay up to date with you on this fight that is so important, I think this is where the war room posse shines.
00:42:01.000And war room posse, like I was talking earlier in this segment, election interference and lawfare takes many forms.
00:42:08.520I think one of the earliest is, of course, pandemic and public health crises.
00:42:12.400Of course, the experts in public health who are vaccinated and boosted six times over seem to contract COVID three times.
00:42:20.100But like I said, don't forget, the World Health Organization has just announced that it's now determining and trying to kind of dole out emergency use authorization for monkeypox vaccines.
00:42:31.580This, of course, coming on the other side of this kind of renewed push that a bird flu pandemic is going to materialize.
00:42:38.900And it was just a week ago that the WHO, in coordination with this Gates-linked globalist NGO group called CEPI, put out a press release saying that we need to be better prepared for pandemics.
00:43:06.220I think it's 15% off, a free month of service, something like that.
00:43:09.240But like we always say in the war room, it's great to give your money to companies that don't hate you for daring to question the results of the 2020 election.
00:43:17.640And, hey, it's looking like the 2024 election might require some of that, too.
00:43:21.980We'll be joined by Royce White after the break.
00:43:26.960Americans spend billions on supplements every year hoping they'll make up for poor diet or help us avoid serious health problems later.
00:43:36.480If you trust supplements for your health, know that Harvard Health found zero evidence they work.
00:46:30.800Now, tomorrow is a big day for Minnesota.
00:46:33.420Royce, kind of make your last pitch to the posse.
00:46:36.960Walk us through what looks like a realistic, I think, outcome for victory for you in the broader MAGA movement tomorrow on many levels and many races.
00:46:46.700Well, winning here during the state convention and the endorsement with the blessing of our fearless leader, Steve Bannon, was a huge victory, a huge shift in the momentum of the party at the grassroots level in our state.
00:46:58.120And we're hopeful that tomorrow will be another another sign of that shift of our party and of this movement.
00:47:05.900You know, the difference between me and my opponent is my opponent is a neocon.
00:47:12.500And he's one of those, you know, run of the mill, you know, central casting Republicans that that, you know, gets run all over this country to lose.
00:47:21.200And what they say are deep blue territories like Minnesota.
00:47:24.120We're seeing at the presidential level, the polling is great for Donald Trump.
00:47:27.680And there's no reason that that shouldn't be reflective in our Senate race as well.
00:47:31.940So, you know, we have a huge task ahead of us to beat Amy Klobuchar.
00:47:37.640And if you don't believe that and this goes for Republicans all across the country, if you don't believe we can win, then there's a problem with our faith, not the Satanists and the communists.
00:47:45.480As far as CD5 goes, there's a special strategy taking place in CD5, Laura Loomer and myself spoke about it this past weekend, where if you are in CD5, if you are in Ilhan Omar's district, she only won her last primary in 2022 by about 2,000 votes.
00:48:01.280So we're asking that Republican registered Republicans cross over in an open primary, which is legal, and cast their vote for Don Samuels, her primary opponent, and to be sure that they cannot cast a vote for me at the statewide level and Don Samuels.
00:48:16.660They have to either vote in the Democrat primary or the Republican primary, be it the patriot that I am.
00:48:23.800I'm willing to sacrifice those votes down there in CD5 to see Ilhan taken out.
00:48:27.600Royce, one more time, tomorrow for people who live in Minnesota, what can they do to support you and, like I said, support all the MAGA candidates down ballot?
00:49:23.420We're joined by Mike Lindell, who has some breaking news.
00:49:27.700Apparently, Keith Ellison, who also has some interesting ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, but I digress, doesn't like what you guys are doing at the Lindell Foundation and the Lindell Recovery Network.
00:49:37.360Can you walk us through how you're, yet again, a victim of lawfare?
00:50:32.720So it's just, to me, it's another attack, another distraction, to try and keep me away from addressing our elections, our election platforms.
00:50:44.140By the way, everybody, go there at LindellPlan.com.
00:50:47.960We're never going to let up on this, everybody.
