Bannon's War Room - Episode 4132： Johnson Weakens On CR Proves His Weakness; CR Fight Begins On Capitol Hill

00:00:00.000 Opposure nominees, your patent nominees, should they be primary?

00:00:04.560 If they are unreasonable, I'll give you a different answer, an answer that you'll be shocked to hear. 0.96

00:00:10.540 If they're unreasonable, if they're opposing somebody for political reasons or stupid reasons, 0.94

00:00:17.600 I would say it has nothing to do with me. 0.97

00:00:19.600 I would say they probably would be primary.

00:00:21.980 But if they're reasonable, fair, and really disagree with something or somebody, I could see that happening.

00:00:28.740 But I do believe that if they're unreasonable, I think we have great people.

00:00:32.980 I think we have a great group of people.

00:00:36.480 How far can Donald push these members, Donald Trump push these members?

00:00:40.780 How far can he push them to say, you're going to do what I say or else?

00:00:45.240 Do you think they're willing to cross him on Pete Hegseth, on Tulsi Gabbard, maybe even on RFK Jr.?

00:00:51.380 I mean, the good part is we're starting to see the system actually play out.

00:00:54.520 We've said, well, there's not going to be any guardrails.

00:00:56.300 Well, I mean, there kind of still is.

00:00:59.340 And to Joe's point, it's like, these guys aren't up for the job.

00:01:03.800 You can get somebody else.

00:01:05.140 We'll be nice.

00:01:05.920 We'll do it politely and quietly.

00:01:07.820 And then we'll give you everything else that you want.

00:01:10.040 So I think that's how it's going to play out.

00:01:11.300 But you think about Pete.

00:01:12.760 I mean, the Pentagon would swallow him up in one week.

00:01:16.040 That's what I was going to say.

00:01:18.300 Let's push aside all the other horrific steps of judgment.

00:01:23.740 You look at his lack of inexperience.

00:01:26.080 But I've said it time and time again.

00:01:28.040 You know, that's a job.

00:01:29.860 I'm sure you and I think we can do most jobs.

00:01:32.200 I don't want that job.

00:01:33.240 I don't want that job.

00:01:34.120 I don't want that job.

00:01:36.580 I remember Chris Lake called me up and he said, hey, I may be able to take the CNN job.

00:01:41.800 I go, let me tell you, there are two jobs you don't want.

00:01:43.720 I said this.

00:01:44.260 There are two jobs in America you don't want. 0.92

00:01:46.280 The CNN job because of the bureaucracy and the Pentagon.

00:01:49.120 And I said that like three years ago.

00:01:53.460 But the Pentagon's even harder.

00:01:56.040 The bureaucracy will swallow you up whole unless you really have been walking those corridors for years.

00:02:05.440 I mean, that was all services committee, you know, for four terms.

00:02:09.500 And even if.

00:02:10.080 And even then it was like.

00:02:12.100 I mean, the weapon systems, the training, the tanks, the guns, the bullets, the satellites, the bureaucrats, the cyber security.

00:02:20.760 I mean, like the housing, the benefits.

00:02:23.180 It would swallow anybody.

00:02:26.520 He's not up to the task.

00:02:27.820 If you want to reform the Pentagon, you're exactly right.

00:02:30.960 You better get somebody that knows the Pentagon.

00:02:33.100 Yeah.

00:02:33.200 Tell me about how you at the ACLU are thinking about your plans to try to defend American civil liberties in this term versus the first term.

00:02:44.920 Well, we've been planning for almost a year.

00:02:47.280 We were anticipating the possibility that he would win this election.

00:02:50.320 So we've spent thousands of staff hours studying Project 2025, tracking the campaign promises, going back and playing back what happened in Trump 1.0 to see what might happen with Trump 2.0.

00:03:03.460 And so we've been trying to get ready for this whole period of time.

00:03:07.140 Clearly, we can't run the same playbook.

00:03:09.340 They're going to be more aggressive.

00:03:10.920 They're smarter.

00:03:12.080 They're faster off the block.

00:03:14.380 They are really going for the they're running the gauntlet on many of the policy issues that they didn't dare try last time.

00:03:20.320 They're going to run the ball down the field.

00:03:22.380 And so we have to be much smarter and much better prepared.

00:03:25.280 Litigation is going to be key.

00:03:26.800 The courts still are a place we would have to turn to.

00:03:29.580 We have to be wide eyed that the courts are also increasingly conservative and he will appoint new judges onto the courts.

00:03:36.580 It's also true that Biden appointed a record number of judges on the courts.

00:03:40.060 And so not all is lost.

00:03:41.680 But good lawyers are going to have to earn their earn their pay by picking the right clients, the right cases, the right theories.

00:03:47.880 Where do you file?

00:03:48.640 Where do you settle?

00:03:49.560 Where do you really push the envelope?

00:03:51.800 And that's what really we're working through right now.

00:03:53.760 If you're not going to play ball, then you're going to be an enemy.

00:03:58.300 And so you either settle a defamation lawsuit the way that ABC did or you kind of kowtow in advance.

00:04:05.900 And you kind of say, you know what, I've done the cost benefit analysis and it makes better sense for me and my financial bottom line to be able to keep a safe distance from you if you're Donald Trump.

00:04:17.200 Yeah, the ABC settling that defamation suit really was not helpful to anyone in the press, frankly, because that only has emboldened people in Trump world.

00:04:30.120 You know, if you talk to the lawyers this weekend over what happened, they're very, very happy.

00:04:36.960 Like, you know, this is fantastic.

00:04:38.140 You know, this opens up the path for them to sue other news outlets, other individual reporters.

00:04:44.340 And they're absolutely discussing this.

00:04:46.580 I mean, the moment they were done with the ABC suit, the discussion shifted to, ooh, who's next?

00:04:51.280 Maybe it's CBS.

00:04:52.300 We really didn't like that 60 Minutes thing.

00:04:54.000 And then on Sunday night at the New York Young Republican Club gala, which I attended, you know, the keynote speaker was Steve Bannon.

00:05:00.420 And Steve Bannon was talking about it's time to prosecute the news media and people on this network as well.

00:05:07.540 And so what has previously been confined to the ethers of the MAGA universe is now coming out to the fore and they're feeling emboldened to do it.

00:05:17.520 And I think we should take this extremely seriously because they're saying it out loud now.

00:05:21.460 Yeah. When you talk to regular Americans who aren't lawyers, who aren't people who are engaged in this fight in a practical paid to do it as part of their job kind of way.

00:05:32.000 And you hear people feeling intimidated, feeling overwhelmed by the pace at which we're getting sort of alarming news about the extremism of their plans.

00:05:42.040 What do you tell them about the prospects for holding line?

00:05:45.520 The local governments, you know, the state attorneys general, the governors, the mayors.

00:05:50.500 We have this whole plan around a firewall for freedom, we call it.

00:05:54.240 The idea that these local officials can really play an important role in stopping the worst of the government abuses.

00:06:00.680 How so?

00:06:00.960 Well, for instance, when they're going to try to detain and deport all these hundreds of thousands, up to a million people.

00:06:06.700 That's an operation that they have the legal power to do, to do the raids, but the logistics.

00:06:12.660 And they're going to need mayors and governors or city councils to either give them access to police officers or not, jails. 1.00

00:06:23.120 We're even going to house all these folks, right?

00:06:25.440 And so part of what we're doing is we're preparing executive orders and we're organizing our folks to put pressures on elected officials so they don't roll over.

00:06:33.900 They should sever these relationships they have with the federal government on immigration enforcement.

00:06:38.900 They should make sure that our prisons and our jails are off limits.

00:06:42.840 They should begin to think about what actions they could take to pardon immigrants who have a criminal record because they drove on a suspended license.

00:06:51.960 Well, let's take them out of harm's way.

00:06:53.980 They could do that now.

00:06:54.800 Let's commute.

00:06:55.640 They could do that now in the transition.

00:06:57.300 Yes.

00:06:57.720 And so part of what we've got to do is we've got to swarm our allies in some of these places.

00:07:01.780 And even in red states, you have some blue mayors.

00:07:05.560 And so there's a whole game plan for this.

00:07:07.820 And I think part of what we're trying to do is breaking it down, what can be done by the courts and lawyers, what can be done by citizens, what can governors do, what can mayors do, and really have a game plan for that.

00:07:18.040 When people look at the fact that there haven't been large-scale protests thus far the way there were pretty soon after the election in 2016,

00:07:24.860 I tend to look at that and think the American people are smart, people are marshalling their resources and choosing for the right moment.

00:07:31.500 Do you see it the same way or do you see it's OK?

00:07:33.380 When he starts deporting all these folks, ripping apart communities, the idea that you're never going to move that many people through the immigration system without ripping apart citizens and immigrants. 0.96

00:07:43.420 It's going to rip the basic fiber of our lives.

00:07:46.600 And that's when people are going to say, oh, that's not what we bargained for.

00:07:50.240 We've got to turn out.

00:07:50.920 We've got to turn out.

00:08:20.900 In my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

00:08:25.720 Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?

00:08:29.480 If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

00:08:35.860 War Room.

00:08:36.680 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:08:38.740 Bannon.

00:08:41.380 One, three, two.

00:08:45.060 It's Tuesday, 17th, December in the year of our Lord, 2024.

00:08:49.020 Back when I was a kid, my dad, and this was a big laugh for him, you know, he was a phone company guy and they would talk about internally what they were trying to do, what they were trying to accomplish.

00:09:01.620 And he would talk, they would quote the Pogo, remember Pogo?

00:09:04.420 Old cartoon, I think, from the 50s and 60s.

00:09:07.780 I've met the enemy and he is us.

00:09:11.480 That should be the mantra for the MAGA movement and the, I shouldn't say he is us.

00:09:18.640 But it's the MAGA wing of the Republican Party, which is total votes is, I don't know, 75 to 85 percent.

00:09:28.900 I think if you look at President Trump's, a good count of that would be towards the end of the primary season when it was Nicky, Nicky, Nicky, Nicky, Nicky, when Birdbrain held out, and I think she was getting 15 to 20 percent of the vote.

00:09:43.620 Then eventually all those people came home, remember all these Republicans weren't going to do it, and they still have the never Trumpers.

00:09:49.480 That's the kind of, you know, Rich Lowry, you know, National Review, bow ties and chamber music, cocktails on the Upper East Side, the equivalent of the New York Conservative Party.

00:10:02.700 You know, a lot of William F. Buckley types, and I was a big fan of Buckley, but that was back then, not now.

00:10:11.800 If you see what's happening, and you're going to have two examples of this.

00:10:15.340 One is the nomination process.

00:10:20.920 Well, President Trump has actually thought through, you can see he's thought through over a long period of time.

00:10:25.940 His victory, which was quite different than 16, because 16, we were just scrambling every day to get to a win.

00:10:34.200 You could tell in the four years that he was kind of the lion in winter.

00:10:41.100 Having had the election stolen from him, having made a conscious decision to come back and do this,

00:10:47.920 understanding what the stakes were for him personally and for the country, he really started to think through what exactly we're trying to accomplish here.

00:11:00.200 How is this going to be different than the first term, and how are we really going to make America great again?

00:11:07.360 You know, I hated, and I was quite vocal about this, the slogan or whatever, the catchphrase in 20 members, make America great again, again.

00:11:19.420 No, we were not quite there yet.

00:11:22.180 It's going to take a long time to make America return to a former great, and it's going to probably take decades.

00:11:28.460 But you have to start with a foundation that is a total reversal.

00:11:32.000 This is what you have to hit it with, which Robert Bartley used to say, muzzle velocity.

00:11:36.620 When you have an idea, a concept, a construct, just sitting there talking about it, even sitting there making a decision about it,

00:11:42.740 doesn't make it happen, doesn't make it a thing, doesn't make it a presence, doesn't make it flow through the system.

00:11:50.320 Think about populist nationalism.

00:11:52.980 When we first started on this journey back after the 2008 campaign, I mean, I was mocked and ridiculed.

00:11:59.000 But in the first year after I took over Breitbart, after Andrew died, I was vilified by the limited government conservatives, right?

00:12:08.840 Because, you know, they know better.

00:12:10.880 These are the folks that didn't lift a finger to actually limit the size and scale of the government.

00:12:15.640 It kept getting bigger.

00:12:17.560 Why?

00:12:18.180 They're controlled opposition.

00:12:20.600 Controlled opposition and kind of an authoritarian system, it's just performative.

00:12:26.060 It's there to make you feel happy, right?

00:12:29.000 As the control function does what it's going to do.

00:12:34.220 We didn't get in this shape, folks.

00:12:36.540 The country didn't get in this shape unless both parties were part of it.

00:12:40.480 And this is why I say Republican and Democrats are irrelevant.

00:12:43.520 It's a nomenclature or a name that doesn't – it's the two sides of the same coin, neoliberal neocons.

00:12:53.060 That's the Washington consensus.

00:12:54.860 That's the Wall Street consensus that runs the United States of America, the American empire.

00:12:59.400 And this is the jam we're in.

00:13:00.960 Because during the Biden regime, the empire started to get even the true neo-Marxist, neo-Marxist element of it on the society side, the cultural side, started to come forward.

00:13:15.920 Not just the transgender radicalness, but all of it, and what they're trying to do in the propaganda department and the education of your schools. 0.80

00:13:27.820 Thank God the young men in this country, being red-blooded American boys, stood up and rejected that.

00:13:38.160 And on their shoulders, President Trump rode to the presidency, his third victory for his second term.

00:13:48.420 A second term that may lead to a third term.

00:13:50.280 Who knows?

00:13:51.300 That's all in the future.

00:13:52.720 Maybe that's a work in progress.

00:13:53.960 I don't care if the left's melting down.

00:13:55.260 I don't care if the new republic is melting down.

00:13:58.560 We do have a pretty good track record, I think, of throwing an idea out there and then, over time, working that idea.

00:14:07.740 Working the problem, as we call it.

00:14:10.140 Got to work the problem.

00:14:13.980 Now, where's all this going?

00:14:16.640 The two things happening, folks.

00:14:19.320 On the nominations, they're trying to, oh, you heard it right there.

00:14:22.460 Oh, there's so many more qualified people.

00:14:24.580 Yeah, these are all trial balloons.

00:14:26.340 Pete Hex is a trial balloon.

00:14:27.840 And Kash Patel's a trial balloon.

00:14:29.940 Tulsi Gabbard.

00:14:30.740 Bobby Kennedy.

00:14:32.100 I would beg to differ.

00:14:34.460 President Trump has thought something through. 0.98

00:14:36.780 He took a bullet to the head.

00:14:38.120 And four months later, one in a landslide.

00:14:39.760 I think he gets the team that he selected.

00:14:42.120 And we're here to put our shoulder to the wheel to make sure he gets it.

00:14:46.760 But alas, on Capitol Hill, Polly Pockets Johnson and the team are about to surprise you with a 1,500-page CR.

00:14:57.840 All next.

00:14:59.220 Big victory on 5 November.

00:15:02.240 Remember, now the work can finally start on the big issues facing the country.

00:15:06.060 One of the biggest is the national debt and the deficits that drive it.

00:15:11.120 Hey, you think the country's broke?

00:15:12.680 The country is broke.

00:15:13.680 We're just printing money to keep this house of cards going.

00:15:18.240 The strategy remains the same for you.

00:16:30.120 Oh, wow, yeah.

00:16:30.860 I rolled the dice, and I called him on the phone.

00:16:36.960 And he answered!

00:16:40.480 Of course he did!

00:16:41.620 Of course!

00:16:45.180 What'd he say?

00:16:46.320 And I wasn't calling to chit-chat.

00:16:48.620 I said, Mr. President, this is Stephanie Ruhle.

00:16:50.800 You made a lot of comments last night.

00:16:52.400 Blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:16:52.800 And it was not an on-the-record conversation.

00:16:55.100 Long story, so I'm not going to get into what he said.

00:16:56.840 But I called for one reason.

00:16:58.180 I said, you just said a whole bunch of public things.

00:17:00.880 I'd like to sit down for an interview with you.

00:17:03.900 We got five days before the election.

00:17:05.820 So we didn't get into anything.

00:17:07.720 There's nothing for me to report.

00:17:08.700 I called him and said, I want an interview with you.

00:17:10.560 Obviously, he said no.

00:17:11.760 But my point is, I was able to get to him by dialing his phone.

00:17:16.840 Now, that might be completely apeshit.

00:17:18.960 And you're like, I can't believe people know this guy's phone number.

00:17:21.060 But the reverse of that, if I were to want to connect with V.P. Harris or President Biden,

00:17:28.260 there's 50 people between me and that.

00:17:31.740 I could write a note that maybe could get to somebody to get somebody.

00:17:34.540 Then through Pony Express and a pigeon, something might end up in a mailbox near them.

00:17:39.080 And I called DJT to say, yo, can I have an interview with you? 0.97

00:17:41.980 He told me to go f*** myself.

00:17:43.340 But I still was able to connect with him. 0.99

00:17:45.840 But he still picked up.

00:17:47.700 That's Stephanie Rule from one of our favorite shows, the 11th Hour at MSNBC every night. 0.65

00:17:57.620 I think it's a fantastic show.

00:17:59.100 That is so true.

00:18:01.400 People have his phone number.

00:18:02.740 And they call him off.

00:18:03.440 Think about it.

00:18:03.780 The day after the rally was the run-up to the election.

00:18:08.240 That was the week.

00:18:10.220 You know, later that night, I'd be released from Danbury.

00:18:12.820 I mean, that was the heart of it.

00:18:14.180 You had to turn out, I don't know, 50 million people in one mass mobilization.

00:18:21.320 So President Trump's got a couple, three things on his mind.

00:18:23.840 She calls him up.

00:18:25.000 I'll take a shot.

00:18:27.460 And Stephanie Rule's not on his speed dial list.

00:18:32.100 She's a known hater.

00:18:34.940 But he takes a call.

00:18:37.060 And what I liked about it, she pitched the idea, hey, it was a great rally.

00:18:40.960 How about an interview?

00:18:44.300 And President Trump tells her to go F off, which is great. 0.97

00:18:49.220 You see, the great and the good now are all coming to Mar-a-Lago, and they're all lining up to kiss his ring in his posterior. 0.94

00:18:57.800 Right?

00:18:59.600 You're seeing them all.

00:19:00.800 And I have a huge problem with Walmart and all these guys, that they didn't just fight him.

00:19:06.720 They were trying to destroy him.

00:19:10.200 Facebook, Google, all of them.

00:19:13.900 Well, Twitter at the time, Elon owns that now.

00:19:16.260 But Walmart, all corporate America.

00:19:18.060 And corporate America, and this is why Robbie Starbuck, what Robbie Starbuck has done is so unbelievably important.

00:19:23.320 Is he, Robbie Starbuck's working on getting local prosecutors to bring criminal charges against these companies, which not just civilly, should be massive class action lawsuits, massive class action lawsuits by MAGA against these corporations trying to destroy people.

00:19:39.000 Remember, Target, Target would just rather run you out of the store.

00:19:42.260 It's not acceptable.

00:19:43.300 The American people reject it.

00:19:46.180 But now they've got to pay the price just because they're all going to go down there and grease everybody up.

00:19:52.760 Think how outrageous.

00:19:55.680 Zuckerberg spent $450 million.

00:19:59.860 90% of it went against us in 2020 because he had to put 10% aside because they sit there and tell the justifier, well, we kind of spur around.

00:20:06.020 No, dude, you targeted Trump and you targeted Trump voters.

00:20:10.140 And now you go down with a million-dollar check for the inauguration.

00:20:13.460 This is why in 2016 I didn't go to any of the inauguration events.

00:20:17.200 None.

00:20:17.580 I went to the speech, no blacktop speech, no balls, no nothing. 0.99

00:20:21.560 Zero. 0.98

00:20:22.260 Not interested.

00:20:24.280 Why am I not interested?

00:20:25.260 I don't want to hang out with those people.

00:20:26.920 That's who ends up being these inaugural balls.

00:20:29.640 It's all these guys writing checks and they're greasing you up and all they want is to get a meeting.

00:20:33.660 It's all, it's all, it's greasy.

00:20:37.280 And they're greasy.

00:20:38.280 One thing I did was go to the White House.

00:20:42.940 We set up shop immediately, but then, you know, right after the speech and then President Trump, the parade was amazing.

00:20:49.140 President Trump stood down there on that podium for the entire time, watched the parade, which is extraordinary.

00:20:54.260 It's always my favorite part of the inauguration.

00:20:56.560 On Capitol Hill, we're about to get it.

00:21:00.640 And I think, and I've been saying this, don't want to say I'm right again, I know it gets obnoxious.

00:21:09.920 Johnson, there's a fiasco.

00:21:12.500 Okay, so what's going to happen in the next 48 hours?

00:21:14.840 Another called shot for the war room.

00:21:17.940 He's put up something because he's weak.

00:21:20.780 The short-term CR.

00:21:22.760 Remember, the government runs out of money on Friday.

00:21:26.680 Now, why do they do that?

00:21:31.300 They do that because right before Christmas, everybody wants to go home.

00:21:34.120 So it's the pressure to get everything done.

00:21:36.140 Now we have two alternatives.

00:21:38.880 The one alternative is those, some big, you know, omnibus or CR that takes it for the whole year and takes it out of President Trump's hands.

00:21:46.180 Particularly, specifically, takes it out of Russ Vogt's hands, the guys at OMB, and takes it out of Vivek and Elon Musk.

00:21:57.780 Because of all this complexity of what's going to go on, on the deconstruction of the administrative state, we are going to be your Sherpa that actually cuts through the fog of war and shows you the signal, not the noise.

00:22:09.140 Not the happy talk, not a bunch of congressmen going up for open mic night over there last week when they're sitting there going,

00:22:15.100 Yeah, at Iowa State, they have a research program on, you know, two-headed cows that ought to be cut.

00:22:21.840 It's not about that.

00:22:22.560 It's not about these little research programs.

00:22:24.660 It's not about people.

00:22:26.120 All these memes, everybody's walking in, it's going to be like the apprentice.

00:22:29.060 You're fired.

00:22:29.560 You're fired.

00:22:30.440 It's not the point.

00:22:31.560 We've got a, not just simply a problem, we have a crisis.

00:22:35.240 Don't think we have a crisis?

00:22:39.320 France, South Korea, Germany, Canada.

00:22:42.060 I'm just naming the big four of all turfed out their governments here in the last, I don't know, 10 days, 12 days.

00:22:49.500 Canada's on the brink.

00:22:50.460 Everybody on the finance side quit.

00:22:52.800 What, they quit?

00:22:54.280 It was President, part of it was President Trump's tariffs.

00:22:57.100 And the, and what I'm really proud of is that in the finance minister, and President Trump's no fan,

00:23:03.620 he just lit her up on, on, on, on, on true social this morning, lit her up, because he's not a fan.

00:23:12.140 Although I would tell the president, she was just, the reason she was kind of obnoxious sometimes, 0.99

00:23:16.680 she was just fighting for the Canadians.

00:23:20.060 Very tough to get to an agreement with her.

00:23:21.960 But she quit yesterday, and why did she, she sent a letter, she sent a letter when she resigned,

00:23:28.320 and she said to Trudeau, you are not taking seriously enough, and I quote,

00:23:35.740 the aggressive economic nationalism of President Trump, the aggressive economic nationalism.

00:23:42.920 Poetry, pure poetry.

00:23:44.220 Aggressive economic nationalism.

00:23:47.820 And she's saying, hey, I don't know if 25% tariffs are right or not, but I'm telling you,

00:23:52.820 he's coming hard with something, and he means it.

00:23:57.340 He's not bluffing.

00:23:58.640 And he said, your budget has, wait for it, does not keep our powder dry.

00:24:05.660 It has too big a deficit.

00:24:08.760 I think I'm hearing something consistent throughout the world.

00:24:11.300 Why did the French government fall?

00:24:14.880 The exact same reason.

00:24:17.560 As I keep saying, the world has, I don't know, $300 trillion in debt everywhere, at every level,

00:24:22.400 from your credit card to the student loans, your car loans, every country in the world added up,

00:24:27.880 every county government, every municipality, every water project, every state government,

00:24:34.000 our federal government and every other government in the world.

00:24:37.460 Roughly $300 trillion.

00:24:38.740 And I keep warning, we're going to have a margin call, a global margin call,

00:24:44.440 and when that happens, you're going to be in the whirlwind like you're going to make 2008.

00:24:51.140 The 1929 crash and the 1907 panic that got you the Federal Reserve and the national income tax

00:24:58.060 look like a church social.

00:25:01.960 But it's coming.

00:25:05.840 And why is it coming?

00:25:08.520 Because the folks that you get in office want to kick the can down the road. 1.00

00:25:15.900 We're going to have a CR here, and I heard they had a Donnybrook over in the conference.

00:25:19.000 What happens is that they come in, when they have somebody, that they have the Republican conference.

00:25:22.600 They all go over there.

00:25:23.340 It's a big kind of a conference room.

00:25:25.880 And they get up, and they have an open mic, and they have, you know, leadership stands up on the stage.

00:25:30.720 And Johnson, you know, after working so long with Hakeem Jeffries, well, he worked with Hakeem Jeffries.

00:25:36.240 Clearly, he didn't dial in everybody.

00:25:38.560 You've got everybody from Jason Smith over at Ways and Means to Chip Roy and MTG and everybody.

00:25:47.280 You've got the far right.

00:25:48.400 You've got the guys running the tax deal.

00:25:51.860 You've got the moderates.

00:25:52.800 And they're all thrown up there.

00:25:55.620 Why are they thrown up?

00:25:59.240 Because of you.

00:26:01.380 They realize you've had a belly full of it.

00:26:03.860 And they realize that you went out and knocked on doors and did canvassing and worked phone banks and, you know, trained up to be integrity.

00:26:11.580 And guess what?

00:26:12.400 You delivered.

00:26:14.000 We held the House.

00:26:16.580 We took the Senate.

00:26:19.220 And you took the presidency.

00:26:20.580 So you're not, and by the way, when state legislatures all over the country just did great things, except in places I still can't figure out, like North Carolina, where Trump wins bigger than ever, and we lose across the border.

00:26:37.040 I still can't figure that deal out.

00:26:39.240 But we're scratching away down there.

00:26:42.120 But you're ready for a fight.

00:26:46.720 Just because it's Christmas, hey.

00:26:51.440 You know, Joseph and Mary had to take a long trek when Augustus Caesar said, everybody go back to the, remember, all of that.

00:27:01.240 How's the Gospel of Luke start?

00:27:02.680 It's all about taxes.

00:27:04.640 It's all about taxes.

00:27:05.840 French Revolution, taxes.

00:27:09.720 American Revolution, taxes.

00:27:12.340 Beginning of the New Testament, taxes.

00:27:15.160 What happens?

00:27:16.740 Roman Emperor, he's just taken over from Julius Caesar.

00:27:20.180 He's got to get this thing organized.

00:27:22.820 Most importantly, he's got to figure out how to pay for it.

00:27:26.080 Here's how they're going to pay for it.

00:27:28.220 Taxes.

00:27:29.280 And not taxes on the wealthy that are running the deal in each province.

00:27:32.840 They want to tax on everybody.

00:27:36.640 That's where they send them back to their home. 0.87

00:27:38.240 Hey, what we got to do is get them back up to the tribes. 0.93

00:27:41.040 They could be scattered.

00:27:41.860 Go back.

00:27:42.420 Go back to where you kind of were born and you're from.

00:27:45.380 We're going to do a head count.

00:27:47.160 That's where we're going to start taxing.

00:27:49.940 Money and power.

00:27:52.740 That's what we're talking about.

00:27:55.320 A CR coming your way, baby.

00:27:59.060 That is not exactly what folks bargained for.

00:28:01.560 Another just beautiful job by Speaker Johnson.

00:28:07.340 I don't think we're going to be using that term long.

00:28:10.680 Not that we have a deep bench of hammers over there you could choose from.

00:28:15.080 We're going to drill down this more.

00:28:16.420 Why are governments throughout the world cratering next?

00:28:20.200 It's obvious.

00:28:21.380 The unthinkable continues.

00:28:22.980 Most Americans know something is very, very wrong.

00:28:27.240 The people in charge keep telling you that everything's fine and to stop noticing.

00:28:31.220 But you know better.

00:28:32.880 That's why self-reliant folks are investing in emergency food storage. 1.00

00:29:29.200 Action, action, action.

00:29:31.800 Stephen K. Band.

00:29:32.900 Speaker Johnson's living in La La La, and he's down in this conference.

00:29:42.880 He's getting blown up.

00:29:44.860 What is it, Burleson?

00:29:46.260 Burleson's not exactly—he's a good man.

00:29:48.420 Really good guy.

00:29:50.160 From, I think, near Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, or close to it, in Missouri.

00:29:56.420 Good man.

00:29:56.820 He's sitting there.

00:29:59.000 Lawler, who's—Lawler said this has not been member-driven.

00:30:02.120 Members didn't know anything about it.

00:30:03.880 And now they get this thing dumped on them.

00:30:05.940 It's like a Christmas tree.

00:30:07.000 It's got all kind of goodies for the special interests and for Democrats.

00:30:11.080 Democrats.

00:30:12.160 We run the deal, but it's because you don't need their votes to get through.

00:30:16.460 But, of course, Polly Pockets. 0.95

00:30:18.400 Johnson knows that 100 Republicans are not going to vote for this minimum, so he's over there getting Democrat votes.

00:30:23.980 That's what you got.

00:30:25.820 He's the Democrat speaker.

00:30:27.160 I said that from the beginning.

00:30:29.460 Y'all don't listen to me.

00:30:30.960 Democrat speaker is going to trade you out. 0.91

00:30:33.500 Burleson's sitting there going, quote, it's a dumpster fire.

00:30:37.000 So now you got a firestorm going down there.

00:30:41.720 But here's what he's saying.

00:30:43.080 Here's what he's saying.

00:30:44.860 And this is what happens when you have these people who are not leaders.

00:30:50.360 He's sitting there going, hang on, hang on, hang on.

00:30:52.140 Don't get all over me.

00:30:53.120 I get important meetings with David Sachs and Vivek Ramaswamy.

00:30:57.660 Dude, that's fine to come by for a courtesy call.

00:31:01.140 But, quite frankly, you're not relevant to what they're doing.

00:31:04.240 Here's what you got to be relevant in.

00:31:05.480 We want a skinny CR, when I say skinny, like two pages, that just kicks it to January, to March, you know, March 20th.

00:31:15.660 It gives President Trump January to February, February, March.

00:31:18.680 It gives him 60 days.

00:31:20.520 It gives Russ Vogt and guys 60 days to actually get this thing together and get the appropriations bills done, all of them.

00:31:27.900 They're kind of teed up, get them all through the House, all through the Senate.

00:31:30.800 It's a process.

00:31:32.340 This is just supposed to be a tip to a process.

00:31:34.160 It says, what did you do?

00:31:35.820 What did you do?

00:31:37.580 What did you do?

00:31:38.560 And didn't breed anybody in on this.

00:31:41.500 Because I asked them all, has anybody read it?

00:31:43.240 No, it's totally secret.

00:31:44.340 It's behind closed doors.

00:31:45.120 It's all McCarthyism, again.

00:31:47.320 Behind closed doors.

00:31:48.740 Behind closed doors.

00:31:50.140 And I tell people, when they're behind closed doors, there's some bad stuff coming.

00:31:54.880 And we got plenty of it.

00:31:59.780 Okay.

00:32:02.540 Audience, because once again, get ready with the machete.

00:32:07.160 We're going to have to cut our way.

00:32:08.380 You're going to have to cut the path through this.

00:32:09.840 It's just going to have to happen.

00:32:10.860 Just like you had President Trump's back from January of 2021, even before then.

00:32:16.940 But I say when it got down to it, when they stole the presidency from him, went to Mar-a-Lago.

00:32:23.220 You were the most, and not just loyal, you were the smartest and toughest.

00:32:26.480 And you learned more.

00:32:27.560 And you did precinct strategy.

00:32:28.800 You did voter integrity.

00:32:29.740 Anything that was asked, you did.

00:32:31.240 And guess what?

00:32:31.860 You were the vanguard and the cadre and the vanguard for the greatest comeback in world political history, not just American political history.

00:32:41.300 Okay.

00:32:43.960 We're going to have to do it again, and here's why.

00:32:46.200 So let's take, let's just do a simple exercise.

00:32:48.740 400 days from today is roughly the first anniversary, the end of year one of President Trump's second term.

00:32:58.260 The end of year one.

00:33:00.460 And I think we're all in agreement that we probably have to get a lot of what he wants to accomplish then with the midterms coming up in the second year.

00:33:12.360 Just do the math.

00:33:14.520 And if you don't believe me, go to the National Debt Clock site.

00:33:18.080 Is that 100% accurate?

00:33:19.600 No, it's not.

00:33:20.200 Is it pretty damn close?

00:33:21.340 Yes, it is.

00:33:21.880 And we're talking about scale of numbers that if you're directionally there, it's good.

00:33:26.040 They're better in the direction.

00:33:27.040 Plus, they give you a couple of other alternatives.

00:33:28.740 They'll do a couple of other CBO, other guys.

00:33:33.100 But the number 400 days from now, folks, is $40 trillion.

00:33:38.440 We say, Stephen, that's impossible.

00:33:40.640 You know, we're only, I don't know, 36 and a half trillion today.

00:33:44.280 Of which, when President Trump turned over the watch, I think we were at $23 trillion.

00:33:52.880 And all of President Trump's essentially was added for the pandemic.

00:33:58.240 Yeah, we did not balance the budget, but we came pretty close.

00:34:01.040 I think it was $500 billion the first year.

00:34:03.140 I'll go back and check the math.

00:34:04.180 But, and I was a big advocate, let's just close this deal.

00:34:07.580 Let's close this thing up.

00:34:08.540 We just got to make some cuts, like in defense.

00:34:13.200 But President Trump was very close, except for the pandemic.

00:34:18.060 But now it's a runaway train.

00:34:21.600 And so, oh, you know, nobody cares about deficits, Steve.

00:34:24.500 Nobody cares about debt.

00:34:25.680 You talk about nobody cares, but I beg to differ.

00:34:27.680 They care about it because it's seeped into every aspect of your life.

00:34:36.620 Remember, your life is run by the 10-year treasury.

00:34:38.980 That's what everything's priced off of.

00:34:40.420 But it's seeped in as we refinance this.

00:34:43.060 This inflation has seeped in.

00:34:44.500 This is what President Trump said the other day.

00:34:46.580 It's not so easy to get out.

00:34:48.180 And we're warning, pal, if you don't want to get on a collision course with the president

00:34:52.440 and the White House and the posse, don't cut rates today.

00:34:55.460 The last thing we need is a rate cut.

00:34:58.820 If you do that, it's just Biden.

00:35:00.980 You're just doing it.

00:35:01.720 You're just doing it to be spiteful because you know you're going to quit or be fired.

00:35:05.360 So you're just doing it to try to embed inflation in there even more.

00:35:13.860 The $40 trillion is got to be, the third of that's got to be refinanced.

00:35:20.780 And not just that, it's the pattern recognition of the velocity.

00:35:24.700 And particularly, we're picking up velocity.

00:35:27.420 It's still essentially a trillion dollars every 100 days.

00:35:31.600 In fact, if you do the math between where we are now and the $40 trillion, guess what?

00:35:37.300 Wait for it.

00:35:38.140 It's about a trillion dollars every 100 days.

00:35:41.420 That's not sustainable.

00:35:44.280 It's not sustainable.

00:35:45.800 At some time, the world that has to take dollars starts to puke them back up.

00:35:52.700 My big fear now is you're seeing the collapse.

00:35:57.220 You're seeing the collapse of the international monetary system.

00:36:02.080 Potentially, you're seeing the collapse of that.

00:36:04.360 And with that is going to come something that's going to be not good.

00:36:14.880 And FIFA's will abandon.

00:36:16.640 All you guys do is cry and whine and bitch and moan about the post-war international rules-based order. 0.91

00:36:21.760 Is that no, that order that might have worked at the time when you, in the 1990s, the Bush regime allows the Chinese Communist Party to come in with slave labor, with slave labor. 0.59

00:36:35.240 And then Wall Street, because it's to their advantage, ships all the high-paying value, high-value-added manufacturing jobs to China for the slave labor of the Lao-Bai-Jing. 0.98

00:36:47.540 No.

00:36:48.380 That's when the post-war international rules-based order, the system starts to get gamed.

00:36:52.860 They game the system.

00:36:53.880 They game the system.

00:36:57.340 They game the system to leverage off the slave labor of the Chinese people. 1.00

00:37:03.380 And to ship all the high-value-added manufacturing jobs up there and gut the United States of America and leave you as a serf, a Russian serf. 0.99

00:37:10.360 This is why kids under 35 years old don't own anything, are not going to own anything.

00:37:15.140 Why?

00:37:15.400 They don't have enough high-value-added jobs.

00:37:18.040 Like in the old days, you start as an artist and you start as an apprentice.

00:37:20.920 You start, you know, my dad started pulling a cable in a sewer for the phone company before he came in alignment.

00:37:27.640 But, hey, you work your way up.

00:37:29.340 You've limited immigration.

00:37:31.760 You have control of your money so your dollar actually means something.

00:37:36.840 You don't have runaway inflation.

00:37:38.420 You don't have the massive drop in purchasing power of the dollar.

00:37:41.500 That's how you have a robust working class, a robust middle class.

00:37:47.920 The people kind of go up.

00:37:51.180 It's escalation.

00:37:52.460 Not nuclear, not going up the escalatory ladder of nukes.

00:37:55.880 You're going up the escalatory ladder of economic life, which we used to have in this country.

00:38:02.460 But you don't have it.

00:38:03.540 And why don't you have it?

00:38:04.960 You have a decaying middle class. 0.85

00:38:06.500 You have an under-the-gun, anxiety-ridden, pressure-ridden working class that can't even go to work on a subway safely. 1.00

00:38:16.560 They don't have an education system that kids can go to that's not destroyed.

00:38:20.440 Or a health care system that they don't go to that's not destroyed.

00:38:24.140 That's why you go into all the great hospitals.

00:38:27.280 You know, Beth Israel, go to all the great hospitals in the New York City area that used to be private hospitals,

00:38:31.460 all turned over to the state because they can't afford to be private anymore.

00:38:34.000 You go in there.

00:38:34.700 It looks like a war zone in the emergency room.

00:38:39.720 Why?

00:38:40.040 Nobody has any insurance.

00:38:41.120 They just go to the emergency room for everything.

00:38:43.580 And you have all the crime and everything, all the disease, all the crime.

00:38:47.060 It's all there.

00:38:49.100 They're not living like Americans. 1.00

00:38:52.420 And that is not acceptable.

00:38:53.820 And one of the reasons is, is you have, on Capitol Hill, like a dog and pony show.

00:39:01.740 It's all performative.

00:39:04.560 Johnson comes out there and he gives you that deep voice and, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:39:09.060 On Fox, they just roll him around, ask a bunch of softball questions.

00:39:13.220 Because the lobbyists, this is a lobbyist thing.

00:39:16.140 You know, you got from MTG and Chip Roy to Lawler.

00:39:22.260 Lawler is not a fan of the war room.

00:39:24.960 Lawler is not a fan of MAGA.

00:39:28.000 And you got those two and everybody in between, Burleson and the whole crowd.

00:39:32.660 This is not member-driven.

00:39:34.080 We didn't know anything about this.

00:39:35.360 This thing looks like a Christmas tree.

00:39:36.880 Why do you have a provision in there that Haiti's got, like, most favored nation status or some tax-free zone for Haitian T-shirts?

00:39:44.740 Which may or may not be a good thing.

00:39:46.520 I have no idea.

00:39:47.440 It doesn't sound great.

00:39:48.260 But who knows?

00:39:49.080 But that's not what it should be in a CR.

00:39:53.580 Because they're going back.

00:39:54.620 President Trump's best, one of his best sayings, no games.

00:39:58.480 I don't want any games.

00:39:59.420 Be straight.

00:40:00.280 We got a game going on Capitol Hill.

00:40:02.860 You think it's bad now?

00:40:07.900 For President Trump to take these ideas and turn them into actual reality is going to take more than executive orders.

00:40:20.940 And I want to go back to one of my favorite scenes.

00:40:23.160 I may play it later, maybe at 6 o'clock, from the movie Lincoln.

00:40:27.600 Because this is a lesson for us today.

00:40:30.740 President Lincoln's sitting there.

00:40:32.900 And they're all over him of, why do you need all these amendments to the Constitution?

00:40:36.720 This is not easy.

00:40:37.720 We've got to do a heavy lift and you've got to get approved.

00:40:40.140 Why do you need this?

00:40:40.900 And he gets up in their grill and says, the Emancipation Proclamation, which changed the direction of the war, because up until Antietam, up until Sharpsburg, the fall of 1862, the war was about keeping the union.

00:40:55.860 After that, because Lincoln wasn't winning.

00:41:01.940 The North was not winning.

00:41:03.100 And many of the generals in the North were Democrats.

00:41:07.420 And it was all this talk of treason.

00:41:10.200 Who's really, you know, how could we be that bad?

00:41:12.320 How could these guys go to West Point and this be incompetent?

00:41:14.720 How could Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson and Jeb Stewart, how are these guys who all went to West Point?

00:41:20.080 How could they be running the tables on our guys?

00:41:22.100 What's happening?

00:41:22.620 Is it treason?

00:41:23.180 Are they not fighting?

00:41:24.060 Is it just they want to negotiate settlement, which was had some truth to it?

00:41:29.020 Let the South go in peace.

00:41:30.320 He says, hey, I got a fix for that.

00:41:32.480 I'm going to put out a proclamation that frees the slaves. 0.55

00:41:35.120 Or, because his lawyer, the attorney general said, it's an executive order, and you can only do it as a wartime necessity.

00:41:43.020 You can only free them in the states currently under rebellion.

00:41:45.940 You can't even free them in the places we could actually control.

00:41:50.540 And Lincoln said, an executive order goes away.

00:41:52.600 When my administration is over, the executive order goes away.

00:41:56.080 It goes away.

00:41:57.380 And that means, what are we going to tell the world?

00:41:59.260 That they're enslaved again after we lost 600,000 people and destroyed half the country?

00:42:04.020 That the slaves are slaves again?

00:42:06.240 How is that going to play?

00:42:08.500 He said, we're out upon the world stage.

00:42:12.340 That's exactly where we are with President Trump.

00:42:17.300 It's not chattel slavery, but it's economic bondage of the working class in this country, and quite frankly, now the middle class. 0.94

00:42:28.820 So how do you start to do that?

00:42:31.840 Yes, President Trump, we can do executive orders like we did back in the first term, right?

00:42:38.160 And you can do it.

00:42:38.700 I want to warn you of a huge change that could be coming to our money and our bank accounts.

00:42:43.940 First, think back to 9-11, shortly after the government pushed through the Patriot Act.

00:42:48.500 This gave the government power to spy on innocent Americans by monitoring our phone and email and tracking our movement across the Internet.

00:42:55.980 Now, Jim Rickards, editor of the independent financial newsletter Strategic Intelligence and New York Times bestselling author, is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level.

00:43:09.680 In fact, some of the guests I've had on the war room believe that the government will soon expand their powers to track our every move.

00:43:17.580 If we say the wrong things on social media, donate to the wrong causes, buy firearms, or even vote MAGA, the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts.

00:43:27.800 I can't say for sure if this will happen, but it's an interesting and dire warning.

00:43:34.000 Fortunately, Jim Rickards, an American patriot and friend of mine, has made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable money.

00:43:46.500 Watch Jim's warning video now before it's censored like I've been in the past.

00:43:51.740 Go to RickardsWarRoom.com.

00:43:54.100 That's RickardsWarRoom.com now to see the video.

00:43:57.800 Here's your host, Stephen K.

00:44:00.340 So, Melanie Zanona, I think she's over at Politico now.

00:44:08.860 She was at CNN.

00:44:13.100 She's reporting, Johnson tried to sell his members on his CR plan this morning.

00:44:18.800 It did not go over well.

00:44:20.720 The griping stretched the gamut from Freedom Caucus to committee chairs and even moderates.

00:44:27.800 It's very, this is according to her, it's very clear Democrats are going to need a heavy lift to carry this bill.

00:44:36.340 This is where you are.

00:44:37.420 If we're this on the CR and he's hit it from his members to drop it on them and put the gun under the head because the funding runs out on Friday,

00:44:52.000 essentially he screwed the caucus, this is the easy one.

00:44:58.140 This is as close to a layup as you can get.

00:45:00.460 You just had to have something skinny, kick it into, which as you know, we're not fans of short-term CRs.

00:45:06.980 We hate them.

00:45:07.420 However, if the purpose is to get it to after January 20th so that Russ Vogt and Scott Besant and Hassert and Navarro and the economic team around a guy named Donald John Trump can get their hands on it

00:45:22.460 and do what they want to do, even with a first pass with Vivek and Elon and their team, not a whole doge, but at least, you know, a lick and a promise.

00:45:39.920 I'm down.

00:45:40.900 I got that.

00:45:41.820 I think we can support that.

00:45:42.860 I think we'll go there.

00:45:44.420 But that's not what this is.

00:45:45.700 And to hide it, this is easy.

00:45:48.540 Think of the conversations we're had, and I know we're getting technical, but we need to get technical because I need you to be inside, to have inside baseball. 0.95

00:45:55.520 So all this crap you're going to see on Fox, you're not going to believe.

00:45:59.300 They're going to try to jam everything in one reconciliation bill. 0.98

00:46:03.300 Reconciliation is the kind of gimmick they have to get it through so you can get past the Senate filibuster.

00:46:08.940 We need to, because Trump needs to hit it on January 20th with the border.

00:46:13.680 And actually with money that's written into kind of a law, which the reconciliation bill would be.

00:46:19.720 So he's got it.

00:46:20.660 He's going to do a bunch of executive orders.

00:46:22.500 But on January 20th, baby, we're rolling.

00:46:25.760 Holman's rolling.

00:46:26.720 Miller's rolling.

00:46:27.740 We got legislation.

00:46:29.040 We're going.

00:46:30.340 And the tax bill and everything they're going to do will come in March and April.

00:46:34.180 Why do they want to jam them together?

00:46:35.740 Well, I'm just going to let me guess.

00:46:37.000 Let me think.

00:46:37.440 Oh, that's right.

00:46:38.120 They want to hide all of the goodies for the lobbyists and for the wealthy and for the billionaires so they can put a gun to the war room's head, folks, and say, oh, Bannon, all you and your people.

00:46:50.240 You want to deport 15 million people?

00:46:52.860 You want to build a wall?

00:46:53.840 You want to secure the border?

00:46:54.960 You want to do this?

00:46:55.620 You want to do that on the border?

00:46:56.700 Ba-bing, ba-bang, ba-bung. 0.99

00:46:58.020 Well, how can you vote against this?

00:46:59.880 Yeah, sure, it's got a few tax things in there for lobbyists.

00:47:02.720 But, hey, you want to secure the border.

00:47:05.940 You want to build the wall.

00:47:07.440 You want to deport 15 million people.

00:47:09.360 This is the price.

00:47:10.980 This is the admission ticket.

00:47:13.100 We're not falling for that.

00:47:14.600 So if Johnson doesn't even have the stones to do the simple stuff, how do you think we're going to do?

00:47:21.260 We're going to be in a firestorm. 0.99

00:47:23.820 Do you think – look, they're all down kissing his ass down at Mar-a-Lago with their little checks. 0.99

00:47:30.040 Oh, here's a million dollars. 0.97

00:47:31.780 Please forgive me for trying to destroy you for four years – excuse me, for eight years, but really destroy you when I had – you know, we had a free shot on goal starting in January 2021 when then we supported you.

00:47:44.460 And MSNBC were doing ads.

00:47:45.820 They're sitting there.

00:47:46.360 They're cackling outside the courthouse in New York.

00:47:48.780 Cackling.

00:47:49.320 They're starting cackling in Georgia.

00:47:50.820 They're sitting out there, Rachel Maddow with that cackle, cackling in front of the federal court in D.C.

00:47:58.020 That crowd, that crowd of corporate CEOs and Zuckerberg and Surgey and all the tech titans, all down there.

00:48:09.660 So now we got to see her.

00:48:11.100 I told you this was going to happen.

00:48:13.540 Little Polly Pocket shows up. 0.86

00:48:15.680 And, hey, he had every opportunity.

00:48:18.680 Steve Bannon is not the boogeyman here.

00:48:20.300 He had every opportunity to bring Lawler in, to bring Burleson in, to bring Chip Roy in, to get MTG in, to get all those – and Wagner.

00:48:30.460 Pick them.

00:48:30.860 All the moderates, all the never-Trumpers, bring them all in.

00:48:34.900 Have common decency to say, guys, you know, I think – no.

00:48:41.720 You know why?

00:48:42.500 Johnson knew and planned from the beginning that he was going to need Hakeem – Hakeem Jeffrey, speaker of the frickin' house.

00:48:52.660 We didn't hold the house.

00:48:54.880 We held Hakeem Jeffrey's house.

00:48:57.600 Because we're going through the same madness again.

00:48:59.940 And Johnson went to him early on.

00:49:01.840 You talk about investigations.

00:49:03.420 Hey, show me your text messages.

00:49:05.640 Show me your phones.

00:49:07.120 Cash.

00:49:07.620 I got somebody we should start with.

00:49:09.580 Oh, my gosh.

00:49:11.060 Oh, my gosh.

00:49:12.940 Oh, my gosh. 0.94

00:49:13.920 He's sick in the FBI. 0.97

00:49:14.980 Hey, they're government gangsters, aren't they? 0.99

00:49:18.840 What the hell has he done?

00:49:20.400 Here's – on Friday, it's out of money.

00:49:22.740 So you know what I say?

00:49:24.260 Let it go.

00:49:26.140 Let it go.

00:49:27.900 There should be 200 and whatever Republicans voting on this.

00:49:33.200 Make the Democrats – hell, Johnson's a Democrat.

00:49:37.160 He's a Democrat. 0.89

00:49:38.540 He holds the Bible up.

00:49:39.840 He's got the New Testament wrapped up tight. 0.59

00:49:42.040 He can talk happy talk on a handful of social issues, you know, checking his son's porn site.

00:49:47.620 I don't know. 0.98

00:49:48.140 All this crazy nonsense. 0.68

00:49:49.460 He does all that. 0.90

00:49:50.560 He goes down there.

00:49:51.120 He's a big, deep Christian.

00:49:54.120 Except when it comes to showing courage and being courageous and maybe bringing people in so it's not a surprise.

00:50:02.800 So now the media can sit there with a big old shotgun to your head and go, oh, my gosh.

00:50:07.240 No Social Security checks.

00:50:08.540 It's going to be cold.

00:50:09.260 It's going to be dark for Christmas Day.

00:50:10.700 Granny's going to freeze. 1.00

00:50:12.980 The parks are going to be closed.

00:50:14.440 Smithsonian's not going to be open on Christmas Eve.

00:50:18.880 Not going to get any mail.

00:50:20.020 No Christmas presents are going to go over.

00:50:21.720 CNN's going to have that big camera everywhere.

00:50:23.580 Kids crying.

00:50:24.440 No Santa.

00:50:25.880 NORAD's not going to be able to track – NORAD's not going to be able to track Santa on Christmas Eve.

00:50:29.840 NORAD will not do it.

00:50:31.800 You remember as a kid, everybody sitting there got Santa.

00:50:33.840 He's leaving the North Pole.

00:50:35.800 It's not going to happen because the government's going to shut down. 0.78

00:50:39.740 Because the government's out of money.

00:50:43.440 The government's out of money.

00:50:45.860 You understand this is all just fiat currency.

00:50:48.620 This is just all funny money.

00:50:49.800 It's $40 trillion.

00:50:51.220 It's funny till it's not.

00:50:52.560 Folks, take your number two pencil out and write this date down.

00:50:59.500 20 January of 2026.

00:51:05.340 $40 trillion.

00:51:09.440 We've put $21 trillion on the balance sheet of the United States of America.

00:51:20.120 Since the moment that Donald Trump won the presidency on 8th November of 2016.

00:51:27.340 I want you to chew on that one.

00:51:31.420 We've been around for 200 years.

00:51:33.760 Only the Iraq War. 0.80

00:51:35.300 I mean, we only had a couple of training at the turn of the century.

00:51:38.980 It had blown out of control with the Iraq and Afghan war.

00:51:41.860 The fiascos of the bailouts.

00:51:43.900 And Obama's bailing people out.

00:51:45.500 And Bush is destroying the economy.

00:51:47.180 All this madness of the neoliberal neocons that wrecked this nation.
