00:00:11.000
I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:00:19.000
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:00:23.000
And where do people like that go to share the big lie?
00:00:30.000
I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:01:02.000
It's Natalie Winters filling in for the next hour,
00:01:09.000
we're only on what the imminent precipice of what I think is the 35th CR in the last decade.
00:01:17.000
So tonight we're going to return to War Room tradition.
00:01:24.000
going to give you a special edition of a show exposing the enemy within.
00:01:31.000
extend that prepositional phrase because it's the enemy within the Republican Party tonight.
00:01:37.000
I guess we'll start at the border wall to make our case,
00:01:41.000
or I guess I should say lack thereof a border wall,
00:01:47.000
currently unused materials for that border wall are being auctioned off.
00:01:56.000
but I think you and I probably both know that it's being sold on a fire sale to the lowest bidder
00:02:07.000
You know who has the blood on their hands for that?
00:02:19.000
bring your attention to Section 2890 of the National Defense Authorization Act,
00:02:26.000
which Republicans introduced because it required the Defense Department
00:02:30.000
the Defense Department, might I add the caveat,
00:02:35.000
use, transfer, or donate all materials that had been procured for the building of said border wall between 2017 and 2022.
00:02:49.000
And it had to be done within 75 days of the NDAA's enactment,
00:02:53.000
and they'd have to roll it out, execute it just 100 days later,
00:02:56.000
because apparently when you're destroying the United States of America,
00:03:02.000
Now, I think currently about 40% of those materials have been sold.
00:03:11.000
House Republicans effectively put the fate of this wonderful nation's sovereignty in the hands of the Democratic Party,
00:03:23.000
in the hands of Joe Biden, in the hands of the in-your-face open borders activists at DHS,
00:03:34.000
All the times that you have ever heard your member of Congress come to a microphone somewhere at some dinner in your county
00:03:48.000
I think maybe drag shows are less performative than the BS that we have seen come out of this Congress
00:03:55.000
on anything related to border security when they are at the point of negotiating away our sovereignty,
00:04:01.000
giving complete and utter control to open border apparatchiks at the White House to determine the fate of this nation's sovereignty.
00:04:13.000
Forgive me for oversimplifying this, but what the heck is wrong with you guys to vote for anything that would allow materials
00:04:24.000
that President Donald J. Trump would want to be using and has asked to stop the fire sale of
00:04:29.000
to be placed into the greedy America last hands of Alejandro Mayorkas, Joe Biden, take your pick,
00:04:36.000
whichever America last traitor you want to put the blame on.
00:04:47.000
Because, you know, I'm old enough to remember, I'm sure you guys are too in this audience,
00:04:51.000
that the whole, you know, what is it, Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment complexes in Colorado,
00:05:00.000
Well, unfortunately, I guess it's another win for conspiracy theorists today,
00:05:06.000
because I believe 14 men were arrested out at that apartment complex specifically,
00:05:12.000
I think just last night or earlier this morning,
00:05:15.000
for I believe it was an armed robbery tying up and stabbing people who they actually took over
00:05:22.000
and, you know, gagged, bound, whatever, put them in some room,
00:05:26.000
but they totally don't control or run that apartment complex,
00:05:29.000
they just control multiple units so they can conduct warfare level robberies.
00:05:36.000
And the best part is, while that was unfolding,
00:05:40.000
Joy Reid was busy doing one of her dumb opening monologues.
00:05:48.000
Americans have a long history of believing conspiracies.
00:05:59.000
I don't think the media has been doing too well when it comes to defamation lawsuits.
00:06:03.000
But I'll give you an actual conspiracy theory, Joy,
00:06:08.000
and all of MSNBC that you guys should actually peddle.
00:06:12.000
And that's that Republicans are actually tough,
00:06:17.000
And that now brings me to, I guess, the bill of the hour,
00:06:27.000
there's some limited text that's been released,
00:06:29.000
so the full breadth of it hasn't been released yet,
00:06:31.000
because I think they're probably using every single second
00:06:33.000
that you don't see that bill text to cram another provision
00:06:36.000
to make whether it's Big Pharma, a foreign country,
00:06:41.000
and you can choose if that oligarch is foreign or domestic.
00:06:47.000
If Democrats had won this most recent election,
00:06:54.000
and you wouldn't even be able to watch this show.
00:07:00.000
And House Republicans don't really seem to get that 77 million Americans
00:07:05.000
just voted for them to stop this performative BS that they're doing right now.
00:07:13.000
It's effectively an omnibus, but maybe the CR stands for what?
00:07:27.000
it's only about 17 pages or so that have been released.
00:07:30.000
We're talking about what will be probably several thousand pages
00:07:36.000
I could probably do it, but I don't know if members of Congress could.
00:07:41.000
just to show you the kind of stuff that we're dealing with.
00:07:49.000
disease X and research into medical countermeasures
00:07:56.000
However, will the American experiment continue if Pfizer can't continue to, what,
00:08:03.000
concoct pandemics and then be able to reverse engineer the cures
00:08:07.000
and make, what, trillions of dollars off of it?
00:08:14.000
and we're going to get into what the WHO is doing with all things pandemic.
00:08:20.000
they love to focus on the culture war so much, right?
00:08:23.000
The limited hangout, the trannies in the bathrooms, right?
00:08:26.000
Well, Speaker Johnson and most of your colleagues,
00:08:30.000
maybe there are a few good ones, the ones we have on this show,
00:08:33.000
but I would humbly suggest that before you start screaming about transgender surgeries,
00:08:39.000
that you focus on yourself because last time I checked,
00:08:49.000
I'm actually just quoting you, Speaker Johnson.
00:08:52.000
Let's introduce you to a version of yourself just a few months ago
00:08:55.000
who pledged that we were not going to have a Christmastime omnibus,
00:09:02.000
The leader just noted, we have broken the Christmas omni,
00:09:06.000
and I have no intention of going back to that terrible tradition.
00:09:12.000
If somebody asked me in the hallway a little while ago, will there be minibuses?
00:09:33.000
you could tell maybe I'm just a little pissed off,
00:09:37.000
Because these are the same hacks that, what was it, a week ago,
00:09:41.000
stood up there and had their little press conference
00:09:44.000
where apparently the only thing in their vernacular was
00:09:49.000
They said, oh, we're going to cut government spending.
00:09:51.000
And now they're voting to ram through billions,
00:09:54.000
if not trillions of dollars at the end of the day,
00:09:57.000
not just for a government that actually does anything to help you,
00:10:00.000
but a government that hates you and to kneecap President Donald J. Trump.
00:10:11.000
that the swamp now gets to co-opt so they can continue business as usual
00:10:16.000
and give a little bit of a shiny toy to the American people.
00:10:20.000
It's supposed to be the Department of Government Efficiency,
00:10:26.000
or the Department of Profit Maxing for Ukraine,
00:10:29.000
big pharma, insert whatever foreign country you think, right?
00:10:50.000
I think she's been dealt a very difficult hand.
00:10:52.000
But most of them know exactly what they're doing, right?
00:11:00.000
but the kids who like weren't cool in high school
00:11:02.000
and now all of a sudden Doge is the hot commodity
00:11:05.000
so they're posting, grifting off of Elon with the pictures.
00:11:17.000
And you guys have done so much with your phone calls,
00:11:24.000
And I hope you call and channel just a little bit of my anger.
00:11:29.000
But I think my question to the people that I hope you're calling tonight
00:11:37.000
To make you feel smart when you get invited to the cocktail parties, right?
00:11:44.000
And I know what you guys are doing at these cocktail parties,
00:11:52.000
I've only moved back to D.C. I think 24 hours ago.
00:11:59.000
Because it's people like you who paradoxically work the hardest to get these people elected,
00:12:05.000
who now, even after having a landslide victory for President Donald J. Trump,
00:12:12.000
Most poignantly by stealing your taxpayer dollars to give,
00:12:18.000
even more power and more emboldenment to go out and probably not even solve,
00:12:37.000
And if you're voting for this CR, you are very clearly against us.
00:12:42.000
And for your sake, now whether I'm talking about the CR
00:12:45.000
or selling the border materials down the river,
00:12:52.000
And believe me, like I said, I've lived in this city for four years.
00:12:58.000
But for your sake, I hope that you're blackmailed.
00:13:00.000
And it's not that you're just bona fide traitors,
00:13:03.000
because that's the only other justification I could potentially see for voting for a CR.
00:13:10.000
It's been 10 minutes since I've been screaming at this microphone.
00:13:12.000
There's probably 17 new provisions that are helping the most America last of the most America last companies get what?
00:13:22.000
Emboldening them and empowering them to tank President Donald J. Trump.
00:13:31.000
In the same way that the World Health Organization is trying to as well.
00:13:35.000
They actually today just launched a W.H.O. Academy, because apparently everyone wants to learn from W.H.O.
00:13:48.000
And Tedros, the brilliant Tedros says, well, when I was in Ethiopia, which he doesn't tell you, working for the explicitly Marxist Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front Party as its foreign minister, that that's the the archetype, the sort of rules book that he wants to follow when it comes to how other countries should adhere to the W.H.O. guidebook for pandemic response.
00:14:10.000
Now, did you know, fun fact, that under Tedros, not only did he describe Chinese involvement in Ethiopia, I believe is a quote, win win, but that Chinese investment in control of Ethiopia and their neocolonialist Belt and Road, Belt and Road foray actually hit its highest level of foreign direct investment ever.
00:14:28.800
So that's the future you have in store from your global government betters.
00:14:33.800
And I don't know, but something tells me that Speaker Mike Johnson, who I'll emphasize, I don't think has any balls.
00:14:48.440
I'm just impressed with the amount of damage these people can inflict.
00:15:02.240
Now the work can finally start on the big issues facing the country.
00:15:06.080
One of the biggest is the national debt and the deficits that drive it.
00:15:13.700
We're just printing money to keep this house of cards going.
00:15:25.120
So many things are out of your control, out of the president's control.
00:15:28.900
It's important to have a safe haven for your savings.
00:15:32.620

00:16:30.320
Back in the war room, we're going to have Darren join us shortly.
00:16:35.600
Just real quick on the CR stuff, which I know you guys are calling.
00:16:38.800
You guys know we always hear here in the war room, Stephen and I, how you guys are so effective.
00:16:43.260
And I think a point that you should make to Speaker Johnson, who loves to tout, right, his biblical worldview, don't know how well that's aged.
00:16:54.000
Democrats are the one bailing out your biblical worldview.
00:17:00.440
And if any piece of legislation is passing with majority Democrat votes, even though somehow we have the majority, make that make sense?
00:17:09.100
Your legislation is probably not all that biblical.
00:17:14.020
I know this is something that the brilliant Leslie Stahl fact-checked Marjorie Taylor Greene on.
00:17:19.420
I think the Democratic Party has a pedophilia problem.
00:17:23.500
And I would just suggest, Speaker Johnson, that you go maybe to a local school board meeting and you see the type of pornographic, pedophilic grooming content that they're trying to jam down the throats of four-year-olds and five-year-olds.
00:17:37.080
And then you should come back to Washington, D.C. And think about how the same party that supports that, along with what, the missing hundreds of thousands of kids that are probably part of an elaborate sex trafficking operation known as open borders, they just want a better life.
00:17:53.980
Then you should think about how that's the party that's supporting your agenda.
00:17:58.260
You should think long and hard, and maybe instead of posting the chummy selfies with President Donald J. Trump, you should ask him, A, how he won his election, but B, maybe take a few lessons on the art of the deal.
00:18:13.140
Because you have to be the worst negotiator I've ever seen.
00:18:16.200
I'm not that old, but still, you're the worst negotiator I've probably ever seen.
00:18:21.600
You can only imagine with all this chaos and craziness what it's going to do to the economy, which is why, of course, you've got to be checking out birchgold.com slash Bannon or texting Bannon to 989898.
00:18:32.940
We hear so much about chaos, chaos, chaos, right?
00:18:40.920
So I've got to be checking out birchgold.com slash Bannon.
00:18:43.040
I am now honored to bring on the one and only Dr. Darren J. Beattie.
00:18:48.560
Now, I know I'm in a mood tonight, but there is some good news.
00:18:52.440
There's a big report coming out of Congress referring Liz Cheney for, if I gather correctly, criminal investigation, or at least continued probing by the FBI over her conduct with regard to the January 6th committee.
00:19:07.020
Can you walk us through the report, the findings, and sort of the road ahead, at least when it comes to Liz Cheney?
00:19:11.960
Well, she's a nefarious one indeed, and I'm glad that she's achieved a certain degree of the infamy that she's deserved.
00:19:24.380
You know, in the past, people were a little bit ambivalent about her, but her name should say it all.
00:19:30.620
Cheney is arguably the most disgraced name in all of American politics, and she's continued with this tradition.
00:19:38.420
You know, first of all, her name and the R attached to it, which is a disgrace unto itself, lent a false sense of legitimacy to the January 6th committee.
00:19:51.900
I always described it as a bipartisan committee of Democrats who hate Trump and his supporters and Republicans who hate Trump and his supporters even more.
00:20:05.760
January 6th committee was obviously a sham in every single aspect, in every dimension.
00:20:13.100
We've covered this extensively at Revolver, going all the way back to the genesis of the operative theory of the committee,
00:20:21.080
chaired by none other than Benny Thompson, who, incidentally, was the Department of Homeland Security stooge in Congress.
00:20:29.080
He was chairman of the Homeland Security Committee like seven times.
00:20:33.620
It just so happens that the intel fellow at DHS, who ordinarily would have written a threat assessment about January 6th, who didn't,
00:20:44.140
and that was the subject of much speculation and suspicion,
00:20:47.080
that very individual, his name is Marr, was hired by none other than Liz Cheney to work on the committee when his very inattention to January 6th should have been a subject of the committee's investigation.
00:21:05.480
So that's one of many things that Liz Cheney was involved in.
00:21:09.680
This recent thing that we're hearing about in the media was potential witness tampering.
00:21:15.600
She was certainly involved in guiding Hutchinson and some of the other people who were testifying about this.
00:21:24.240
Frankly, I think it's undignified to even delve into the texts of these utter mediocrities, these utter nonentities.
00:21:32.480
I feel diminished as a human being, even to know who this Hutchinson woman is.
00:21:47.280
I feel like my being is insulted simply by knowing who this nothing is.
00:21:53.340
So I don't want to get too much into the details of these texts because ultimately it's pointless and it diminishes all of us.
00:22:01.380
It suffices simply to say that Liz Cheney was one of the most nefarious creatures working in this January 6th up.
00:22:11.140
The January 6th scam has been the basis upon which the weaponized government has marshaled its national security weight against the American people, against Trump and against Trump supporters.
00:22:23.820
And it's the lie on the basis of which many people are still in prison, although I think they will get out.
00:22:30.580
We just have a major piece at revolver.news from a January 6th defendant offering a very innovative way to provide relief that actually doesn't involve a pardon and puts the regime on even more defensive posture.
00:22:44.540
But this gets to the core of why we've been doing what we've been doing.
00:22:49.440
The regime has so much invested in this fedsurrection lie.
00:22:54.640
And I think the IG report that came out from the DOJ that covered up a lot but revealed enough to at least have people like there's some sportscaster who came out.
00:23:06.860
And apparently he understands that the fedsurrection is a lie.
00:23:10.120
A lot of people, it's getting to be mainstream now, just not the cutting edge viewers of War Room and Revolver anymore.
00:23:16.740
More and more of the country is learning that they've been lied to in a big way.
00:23:20.320
And so I think as more and more is uncovered, as Liz Cheney gets on the defensive, I think this is a necessary and critical step toward not just accountability, not just punishing the criminal trash that did this and the corrupt nonsense that had been foisted on us for years, but it's a necessary path toward the restoration of legitimacy.
00:23:45.200
And I think that's the final point I'd like to emphasize.
00:23:53.500
Yes, an airing of the uncomfortable truth is an aspect.
00:23:57.520
But the aim of all of this is a very productive one.
00:24:01.260
And that aim is the much needed restoration of legitimacy in our institutions because right now, and rightly so, the American people have no trust and no faith in our institutions.
00:24:11.940
And our country can simply not survive or thrive on that basis into the indefinite future.
00:24:18.160
So between this report and the inspector general report that came out last week, I want to just flag one data point for the audience.
00:24:28.320
And then if you can sort of, you know, contextualizing this more broadly as to how we move forward, if you think there need to be additional IG reports is done, if there needs to be another congressional investigation.
00:24:39.900
But it seems like Hutchinson, I'm sorry to make you deal with her again, but that the subcommittee did indeed want to get a copy of, I guess it was FBI report 302, which a document in one of their interviews with her and the FBI stonewalled them, never turned over the documentation, which I think maybe speaks to the continuation of the legacy of the feds direction, the cover up, the continued weaponization.
00:25:03.640
But I'm just curious, do you think this is something where there's still more documents that we need to procure, or do we have the documents, we just have to move on them?
00:25:12.500
What would your advice be as to how we move forward on the January 6th front?
00:25:20.200
And there's some degree of not knowing what we don't know.
00:25:23.480
As you look into things more and as you uncover things, you realize, oh, here's where we need to look in still further.
00:25:30.320
And so that becomes the basis on which to go deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole.
00:25:35.680
As for stuff that I've been most interested in and reporting on that I think is the most explosive and scandalous and sort of highest leverage in terms of really demolishing the basis of the feds direction narrative, the pipe bomb and things like this.
00:25:50.260
I've said on this show before, this investigation is at the very end stage.
00:25:58.940
The remaining 5%, frankly, I don't think I can do.
00:26:03.160
This will require a cooperative and courageous director of the FBI and DOJ who's willing to have me say, here you go.
00:26:14.440
All you need is to do X, Y, and Z to find out these names, to do this, this, and this.
00:26:21.660
And if we have a cooperative person, which I fully suspect we will in Kash Patel and in Pam Bondi and others, this scandal will definitively be exposed.
00:26:34.920
And with it, again, the underlying basis of a major lie that's been wielded against the American people and Trump and his supporters.
00:26:45.200
It's not, you know, we could only wish that this was something for, oh, this is three years ago.
00:26:50.800
But they're still using it to weaponize government, to go after us, to go after Trump.
00:26:56.820
And so it's time to just deal with this narrative once and for all and definitively and expose it fully for what it is.
00:27:04.360
And come January 20th, I think that's a very distinct possibility.
00:27:11.580
Darren, as always, thank you so much for joining us.
00:27:13.900
I know there's more we have to get to, but I think we have Congressman Eric Burleson joining us.
00:27:19.980
In the meantime, if people want to follow you, get Revolver News.
00:27:25.740
I don't think I've had you on since you improved your audio situation.
00:27:35.620
We have a major piece on Imran Khan that people will be interested in.
00:27:40.220
I was the last Western journalist to interview him before his incarceration.
00:27:54.720
We're going to get the inside scoop on someone who has not been shy or quiet about his apprehension
00:28:06.380
Though I need to, like I know I said, CR stands for cucked Republicans because that's what they are.
00:28:19.040
Are you tired of progressive corporations that continue to further alienate conservative Americans
00:28:24.980
all the while eroding the future of the American dream?
00:28:28.940
Companies like Starbucks, Strong Army Customers to support abortion, or PayPal canceling accounts
00:28:37.020
Maybelline making a mockery of women by supporting transgender models?
00:28:40.940
And Bud Light forcing gender ideology on you when all you want is to enjoy a cold beer?
00:28:46.800

00:30:00.420
The real Department of Government Efficiency is you guys, the war room posse, because you
00:30:06.360
seem to be the only salient political force in this entire town that has the ability not
00:30:11.480
just to make people not run for reelection or lose their primaries, but to actually, I don't
00:30:15.960
know, depose people like Speaker Kevin McCarthy and try, at least with our best effort, to
00:30:21.100
put an end and a stop to this horrible, not just spending and waste, fraud and abuse, but
00:30:31.320
Yeah, let's give a carte blanche blank check so we can fund the destruction of this country.
00:30:38.440
It's masochistic, I guess sadistic, if you ask me.
00:30:42.160
Someone who is trying to hold the line, and I'm sure very grateful for all of the calls
00:30:46.860
that you guys, this audience is the true doge, makes, not performative, is Congressman Eric
00:30:52.960
Burleson, who joins us now, who I've seen so many videos reviewed today, shredding the
00:30:58.040
CR omnibus, whatever it wants to identify as, can you just sort of walk the audience
00:31:03.500
through, it's 534 on a Tuesday, we were supposed to see, as you were saying, the text of whatever
00:31:08.720
this may be, days ago, still nothing really out there, where do we stand on what you guys,
00:31:14.360
the members, have been told about what the contents of this CR omnibus fusion are?
00:31:20.200
Yeah, this started as, you know, he was debating a clean continuing resolution, clean CR, up until
00:31:28.020
maybe March, and we were debating how long is the CR going to be. That's the last conversation
00:31:34.620
that we had with the speaker. Then suddenly, we hear rumors over the weekend that this is becoming
00:31:39.520
more than a CR, that they're, you know, K Street is heavily involved, there's a lot of negotiations.
00:31:44.880
Apparently, he wasn't at the negotiations, he was at a football game, sending his staff to negotiate,
00:31:49.840
but this is the result, is that this monstrosity that's going to spend, you know, hundreds of billions
00:31:57.340
of dollars more, put us into more debt that we don't need, and then it's going to attach a bunch
00:32:05.060
of really bad legislation, a lot of which is coming from the Democratic Party in order to get votes.
00:32:13.640
And this one seems extra nefarious because of the timing of it, like you said, just filling it to
00:32:18.640
the brim with, I guess, you know, anything that Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, although we know
00:32:24.040
Hakeem's the one actually running the show, anything that they could ever want, but the
00:32:27.380
timing of it, it is going to hamstring and really kneecap President Donald J. Trump in
00:32:32.020
his first 100 days since it's set to conclude in mid-March. Can you sort of walk us through
00:32:35.720
the timeline, how that, even when you strip all the ridiculous K Street cutouts, how that's
00:32:41.480
particularly damning and damaging to President Donald J. Trump?
00:32:44.640
Yeah, it's really putting Trump in a bad situation in his first few months because he'll have to be
00:32:50.540
focused on the spending bill immediately, which will take weeks, instead of trying to get his
00:32:57.340
appointments done, his executive orders, and getting, you know, things in place. We're
00:33:03.560
immediately going to, he's immediately going to have to focus on this. I think that it's designed that
00:33:07.740
way to, to limit his ability from the beginning. And look, this is, this spending that's being done
00:33:15.180
before, before Doge comes in, this, this is like the, the junkie fix, the last junkie fix before
00:33:22.260
being checked into the rehab clinic, right? I think that these members see that the Trump
00:33:28.120
administration is coming. And so the big spenders in this town have got us, they've got to continue the
00:33:34.100
spending and this is their vehicle. And they, which is why I think that the reason why we haven't seen
00:33:38.600
the text is that they keep coming up with new things to add to it.
00:33:44.200
That's what I said. I said, every segment that goes by in this show, there's probably four or five
00:33:48.560
new cutouts for the most either America last foreign oligarch or nation or horrible multinational
00:33:54.640
corporation. And it's probably big pharma in this case. I know I've seen a lot of the cutouts that
00:33:58.280
they're, that they're angling for. So when our audience calls tonight to try to be the cavalry,
00:34:03.000
support you guys, what is the pitch that they should be making to their Congress? And what
00:34:08.740
is the sort of alternative scenario or situation, um, that you think is, is more feasible and that
00:34:14.040
will not handcuff president Trump? Well, I would say they need to tell these members to do their
00:34:19.820
job. We need to do the job of passing the 12 appropriation bills the way they're supposed to be
00:34:25.060
passed. And if we can't do that, don't hamstring president Trump with a, with a, with all this
00:34:31.000
legislation, pass a clean CR, get us at least past March, maybe into, into the middle of the year.
00:34:39.440
If, if that's the last, if that's what you have to do, but at the end of the day, we cannot pass this
00:34:46.840
cromity bus bill, which is a, what they call CR with an omnibus wrapped together. It's like a Christmas
00:34:53.500
disaster. And, and we're, they're just jamming it through before, before we go home for Christmas.
00:34:59.120
And leadership of course, tried to position themselves as, you know, the benevolent dictators
00:35:06.120
because they were what going to give you 72 hours to read thousands of pages. But it now seems like
00:35:12.540
even that whole pretense has sort of been abandoned because 72 hours, even if it were put out tonight
00:35:18.020
would put us towards Friday, but it doesn't seem like you were saying that the text will be out
00:35:22.160
today. So can you sort of walk the audience through the, uh, I think president Trump would
00:35:25.820
probably call it a legal school duggery, the workarounds that they're going to do, whether
00:35:29.480
it's under suspension or however, they'll go about bringing the votes on this and how it will likely
00:35:34.080
necessitate, um, Democrats again, bailing out Speaker Johnson. Yeah. So there's two ways a bill can come
00:35:41.700
to the floor. One is under regular order where we're able to make amendments and then, and then we're
00:35:46.840
able to vote on it. Simple majority vote, right? Uh, because Republicans are not going to support
00:35:53.040
this. He's going to have to bring this under, under a suspension of the rules, which means that,
00:35:59.440
that they're suspending the normal rules. Um, and what that means is that the, the timing for debate
00:36:06.120
is suspended. There won't be any debate really. They're going to, they don't have to live by the 72
00:36:11.500
hour rule. They're just going to bring it up. And then they're in order to get Democrats votes,
00:36:16.340
they're throwing in all these Christmas tree ornaments from Democrats into this big omnibus
00:36:23.060
bill. And we have not heard of all of them. So the speaker has not told us what the bill language is,
00:36:31.060
but what he really has not told us is what the Democrats are getting in this. And so that to me is
00:36:37.180
very startling. And the fact, and it's very telling that they're waiting until the last possible
00:36:41.500
moment to drop the language. Well, that's political malpractice, especially as we know,
00:36:47.580
the white house is working into the wee hours of the night, doing everything they can, not just for
00:36:52.560
the blanket preemptive pardons, but to preempt president Trump's agenda, make it so even more
00:36:56.860
illegal aliens can be crammed through the border, make everything that's going on globally,
00:37:00.860
even worse, whether it's Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, you name it. I, I, I mean, I was not saying I can't
00:37:07.020
believe it, but I guess I, I absolutely can with this leadership team. So what do you think then
00:37:12.620
the, no, go ahead, go ahead. One more thing, you know, I want to send a message to Elon and Vivek
00:37:19.020
that are, I hope you're paying attention because the, most of these people who are doing this to
00:37:24.420
us right now, who are doing this, the American people are the ones that are front in line, trying
00:37:29.320
to, trying to be the ones that are whispering in the ear of the Doge commission. And I'm just telling
00:37:34.160
you guys, you know, the war room posse needs to tell, you know, tell everybody that you can't
00:37:41.280
trust Congress. We are the reason, we are the problem. And you're going to have to, you're going
00:37:46.560
to have to bend us to your will. You, you, you beat me to it. No, Doge is not a political excuse
00:37:54.380
or an off ramp for people now to move the goalposts and say, well, I'm a member of the Doge caucus,
00:37:59.160
but I also just voted what tens of billions, trillions of dollars, adding it to the national
00:38:04.800
debt. So Chuck Schumer can have a, you know, happy holiday season. No, it's absolutely ridiculous.
00:38:09.420
Congressman, I know the audience really appreciates you fighting the good fight. I want you to tell
00:38:14.960
everyone where they can go to follow you, your website, support you, all that, but also one more
00:38:19.140
time, if you can just hit the pitch when they make the calls, what they should be saying, um, to
00:38:24.180
your colleagues or whomever they're, they're speaking to. Yeah, I would say call and say,
00:38:29.240
don't kneecap president Trump, um, pass a clean continuing resolution if you have to,
00:38:34.540
but next year they need to do their damn job and we need to pass the 12 appropriation bills the way
00:38:40.040
they're supposed to be done. And if folks, um, want to communicate with me, I'm at rep Eric Burleson
00:38:46.000
and on all the social medias. Congressman, thank you so much for joining us and thank you for coming to
00:38:52.740
the war room Christmas party. It was nice seeing you and your staff there. We will have you back
00:38:56.760
on soon. I'm sure. Sounds good. Thank you. It's wild times here in the city. I'm envious of our next
00:39:08.700
guest, Catherine O'Neill, who gets to live out. Where is it? In Wyoming and just farm and ranch.
00:39:14.700
Catherine, I know the posse. I think you're probably their favorite sponsor. Steak. Can't argue with that.
00:39:20.160
What's the latest you got going on in terms of deals, products, hit me with it.
00:39:26.400
Thanks so much, Natalie. As you can see, I'm standing in front of a wall
00:39:30.580
of boxes that are going out. This is our last week to ship for Christmas. So you got to order
00:39:40.120
by tonight. If you want your box delivered this week, otherwise we can't ship until the new year.
00:39:46.780
So we're offering a discount on our Wagyu burger, which is honestly some of the best burger I've
00:39:53.320
ever had. I know you guys love our normal burger, but you got to try the Wagyu burger. It's a lot
00:39:59.400
more dense and more flavorful. The discount is preloaded. So no discount code required. You just go right on
00:40:10.700
the home page and you'll see it. We also have some other sales going on. If you go to our sales tab.
00:40:16.380
So clean us out before the new year. This is your last chance to order. You go to
00:40:22.440
meriwetherfarms.com to our homepage and you'll see everything right there.
00:40:29.380
Catherine, thank you so much for joining us. We will have you back on soon. The posse loves
00:40:36.240
everything Meriwether Farms. Thank you so much. Thanks so much, Natalie. Have a good one.
00:40:46.800
I was thinking these CRs always put me in a bad mood. You know why? Because I know how hard you
00:40:51.940
guys, this audience works to avoid everything, but it's sort of like Sisyphus, right? Rolling the
00:40:58.300
boulder up the hill. I guess literally the hill. Maybe we got to work on the boulder part of that
00:41:03.620
metaphor. These people just suck. I know it's reductive and simplistic to say that, but it's
00:41:08.560
just true, right? We went from what was it back in the pre tea party days, all the kind of limited
00:41:14.100
government people. Oh, we need small government. We need small government. And then the tea party days
00:41:19.380
sort of like, you know, no government. Right. And then now with the Trump movement, you see the
00:41:25.060
evolution of the Republican party. Dare I say, you can quote me on this media matters, which by the way,
00:41:31.800
it was the executive director of media matters who Joy Ann Reed brought on as her guest last night to
00:41:37.640
discuss the spread of conspiracy theories in the United States of America. That's projection. If
00:41:44.280
I've ever seen it, let's be frank in the Trump era, government right now, what you're seeing,
00:41:53.320
whether you want to call it government, a regime, the administrative state, it's the enemy,
00:41:58.760
right? We went from limited government to no government to now government is the enemy. And
00:42:03.640
the thing is, it's always been the enemy. It's always been weaponized against us. We just never
00:42:09.520
actually had the ability to transform the Republican party into, as Stephen K. Bannon would say, a blunt
00:42:14.540
force instrument that was even worth attacking or weaponizing against because all the same people who
00:42:21.540
now are running around saying, Oh, I love Doge so much. I'm Mr. Doge. Got the laser eyes and the
00:42:28.600
profile picture. I'm so funny. I love Doge. Yet, where have you guys been for the last decade?
00:42:36.620
It's you guys who voted to continue funding the very same FBI that's hiding documents about the
00:42:44.680
illegally and improperly constituted January 6th committee that allowed Democrats to imprison
00:42:50.460
Stephen K. Bannon and Peter Navarro and thousands of American patriots.
00:42:54.320
You owe back taxes, right? Here's the question. Why is the IRS targeting you and not millionaires who
00:43:01.940
owe a fortune compared to you? Rich people have tax attorneys. You probably don't. Tax Network USA

00:44:20.140
I know to ask for a pardon is because you think you've committed a crime. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I yield back.
00:44:28.940
I think Adam Kinsey is going to regret saying that one. The only reason that you want a pardon is if
00:44:38.860
you committed a crime. Well, Adam and Benny Thompson, who chaired that committee that we're now finding
00:44:45.420
out what the Republican leadership, Adam's sister and partner in crime, Liz Cheney, committed crimes
00:44:52.620
that hopefully leads to jail time, if not at least disbarment.
00:44:59.620
That those people, all the conspiracy theories that we had about them were so damn good
00:45:03.580
that they now need blanket preemptive pardons. But the worst part, you guys have heard my riff on that.
00:45:09.580
is that House Republicans are literally working right now
00:45:19.800
to fund a White House, to fund a regime that has openly admitted and come to the mics and said,
00:45:24.860
yeah, these next, what, few weeks until January 20th?
00:45:27.780
Yeah, we want to do everything we can to destroy this country at an accelerated rate
00:45:32.360
and make it so beyond difficult for President Donald Trump to do anything that replicates
00:45:40.540
House Republicans say, bend over and take it, right?
00:45:43.480
How much money would you like Joe Biden to open up the southern border?
00:45:47.600
Should we create a, what, new update to the CBP1 app so we can rush on even more people?
00:45:52.320
You think I'm kidding? That's literally what they're funding.
00:45:55.320
And by the way, for those of you who are saying, oh my gosh, Natalie, where's Steve?
00:46:07.040
That the bill text of the CR omnibus, whatever its weird pronouns are,
00:46:12.100
it's going to be released conveniently at 6 p.m., just when this show ends.
00:46:19.260
So when you think the phone calls don't work or that this show doesn't have an impact,
00:46:25.780
Because we called them out on their secret little trade they got going on.
00:46:29.580
That is, they're busy cramming through every little pet project, special, America-destroying policy proposal,
00:46:38.420
K-Street cutout, big pharma incentive that they can into this omnibus
00:46:54.180
It's almost as ridiculous, I'm sure you guys saw yesterday, the White House creating, catch this,
00:46:58.940
a task force on how apparently the Chinese Communist Party is censoring Americans,
00:47:05.840
But I also think the American regime, I'm sure in concert with China, is doing that too,
00:47:11.340
so we've got a little bit of projection going on there,
00:47:13.020
but also how the Chinese Communist Party is targeting Americans with kind of foreign influence ops.
00:47:19.860
I don't know between Joe Biden running a committee on Chinese Communist Party foreign influence
00:47:25.080
and all these people who are now voting to send tens of billions,
00:47:28.700
ultimately at the end of the day, trillions of dollars to corporations that hate this country,
00:47:33.180
a woke and weaponized federal government that frankly wants to see you dead.
00:47:39.260
I don't know which is more absurd and hypocritical.
00:47:43.580
And it sounds like we're negotiating from a position of being losers when,
00:47:50.780
if I'm not mistaken, we just won a landslide victory.
00:48:01.080
or at least spare me all the fear-mongering about the transgender surgeries
00:48:05.560
for you know what's going on with yourself because I don't see any actual fight coming from you.
00:48:10.740
I know Mitch McConnell's writing in Foreign Affairs yesterday,
00:48:19.400
What fight has any Republican on the Hill ever mustered or put up
00:48:27.900
their rationale is that we have to pass the CR now
00:48:31.120
because next time is when we're finally going to get the spending in order.
00:48:36.600
Well, that next time window has come and gone 35 freaking times
00:48:49.640
and saying that the issue is that the government isn't efficient enough.
00:48:58.100
in destroying the lives of people who it hates,
00:49:00.920
like Stephen K. Bannon and the January 6th prisoners
00:49:03.700
and Catholics and people who want to pray outside abortion clinics.
00:49:22.980
And that's what they're trying to do right now.
00:49:25.520
And they're giving a golden ticket and a free handout
00:49:28.520
to a regime that's trying to destroy this country
00:49:31.800
in the final remaining weeks of their illegitimate regime.
00:49:42.200
and grifting off of President Trump and Elon Musk.
00:50:34.100
Mike, I know that might be a tough act to follow,
