00:21:29.060The president, John Thune, Mike Johnson need to all say we're going to go through every bill.
00:21:35.520We're going to freeze out everything the Democrats want. No more passing of Democrat-sponsored bills.
00:21:42.320Go through all the appropriation bills. Take out all their earmarks for all the Democrats.
00:21:47.040And no more judges. You remember, it's really the senators who picked the trial court judges, not the president.
00:21:53.480And no more judges for Democrats. And if they freeze them out, then maybe he can get eight Democrats to agree to vote for cloture.
00:22:02.240they don't even have to vote for the bill just agree to vote for cloture that's one way and
00:22:07.400they need eight because and then has to get all of his caucus to vote for cloture that's one way
00:22:12.780here's another way this the speaker puts the save america act and reconciliation 3.0
00:22:20.360sends it to the senate and john thune says to the parliamentarian we're going to overrule your
00:22:25.140ruling saying it's not germane. And then by a majority vote, the Senate Republicans can overrule
00:22:32.340the parliamentarian and the Save America Act can be voted on with 51 votes, put J.D. Vance in the
00:22:38.120chair. We have 50 votes and we can be passed with a simple majority. That's a second way. Here's the
00:22:43.420third way. Have a talking filibuster. John Thune says, all right, we're not going to let anybody1.00
00:22:48.540leave. We're not going to talk about anything else. We're going to be in 24-7 until we get
00:22:52.980through the filibuster. And they'll either collapse or they'll decide that they can't take
00:22:59.800it because they only like to work two and a half days a week. And that's another way to force the
00:23:05.420filibuster to end by just exhausting them. Then it can pass by 51 votes. But they've got to do one
00:23:12.080of those three things. And that requires all hands on deck. And it requires the first thing is the
00:23:17.600president cannot sign this housing bill because the only way we're going to get the Democrats to
00:23:23.720the table is to stop giving them things. And remember, this bill was introduced by Maxine
00:23:30.420Waters and Elizabeth Warren. Now, they put some lipstick on the original pig, but it isn't a
00:23:37.180game changer. As you say, if the president will veto it and say, I am serious about this, I am
00:23:42.820not going to sign your pet projects. I'm not going to appoint any more judges for Democrats.
00:23:48.520I'm not. And you guys need to get rid of all the Democrats goodies and find eight Democrat senators
00:23:55.000who will agree to vote for cloture. Those are three ways that I've thought of. And I'm not a
00:24:01.240member of the Senate. If I can think of those ways, then I'm sure that these genius senators
00:24:06.680who are in the leadership ought to be able to figure out how to get this done. But the first
00:24:12.180step is the president has to be tough and i'm asking all of maga all the posse call the white
00:24:18.220house tell the president to vote to veto that bill until the save america act is on his desk
00:24:26.020we have to do that we have to do that 202-456-1111 about information he's getting and when
00:24:34.580poly pockets runs up there um and i'm now more you know anti-poly pockets than ever
00:24:41.140is the people at the Freedom Caucus and APL and people that are trying to seize the rules
00:24:46.420and seize the floor and hold the floor,
00:24:49.000aren't they doing that in the spirit of making sure nothing moves through the House
00:24:54.100until they force everybody, the institutions here, to explain that to people?
00:24:59.760Because explain what they're doing and try to seize the floor.
00:25:04.500Because the House Freedom Caucus said, they had a press conference,
00:25:07.880they said, look, we have to do some things. We have to show why we as Republicans need to hold
00:25:15.220the majority. We need to codify H.R. 2, which was the immigration bill to put into federal law
00:25:23.260the things that the president has been doing, his administration has been doing to stop the
00:25:28.900infiltration and the invasion of our borders. So H.R. 2, we have to pass the Save America Act.0.61
00:25:35.180The Senate has to do these things. And what they were saying is, we're not going to vote for FISA.
00:25:40.680We're not going to vote for a rule. We're not going to vote for anything.
00:25:43.240We're going to block everything until the Senate does what it needs to do is pass the Save America Act.
00:25:48.200That's why they killed the rule the other day. That's why they went home.
00:25:51.680The Speaker goes to the White House and says, oh, when, when, when, you know, the Senate, you know, the House Freedom Caucus, is there a problem?
00:25:59.400And then the President posts, you know, that people have to stop bringing down the rule.
00:26:03.600No, Ms. President, they're doing what you need them to do.
00:26:07.740What we need is for Tom Cole, who's the House Committee Chairman on Appropriations,
00:26:12.740to go through and strip out every last earmark and pet project that they are handing to the Democrats.
00:26:20.700Do you think Nancy Pelosi would give things to Republicans if the roles were reversed?0.99
00:26:38.920The Persians on the Straits of Hormuz.
00:26:42.120The Freedom Caucus and others that are Trump's strongest allies on the rules to basically shut down operations of the House until the force—it's a forcing function to force the Senate as an institution to deal with this.
00:26:57.200Otherwise, you're just going to get glad-handed, which is where we are.
00:27:00.380What we need now is a leadership fight in the Senate.
00:27:04.540We need to garner 27 votes to remove John Thuron.
00:27:07.320I know people, oh, John Thuron's a nice guy.
00:27:29.540And now the very people working to get Save America, if they don't want Save America done, they should just tell people.
00:27:35.280I will tell you, if Save America, if something is done and they start moving legislation before Save America, I will tell you, and maybe other grassroots leaders will come forward and say, no, that's not the case.
00:27:46.760I don't see the energy to save the House.
00:34:44.780I think fundamentally we've lost the view of what citizenship properly is.
00:34:50.540citizenship is a privilege and it is something where you have an allegiance to a particular
00:34:56.720country that's why dual citizenship never made a lot of sense to me how can you have
00:35:00.800joint allegiances to two different countries what if those countries interests are ever opposed to
00:35:06.420each other and so whenever you're actually thinking about okay i'm an american citizen
00:35:11.140what does that mean to whom do i owe an allegiance right and so if you have individuals who are
00:35:16.660coming from Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, El Salvador, any country in the world who are coming
00:35:22.940into the United States illegally, right, violating our laws, they don't owe an allegiance to the0.98
00:35:28.300United States. And the idea that just by simply having a child in the United States is enough0.86
00:35:33.380to say, well, that child has an allegiance to the United States. Steve, we've seen that just
00:35:38.380not fundamentally play out. We know that there are CCP operatives who are coming into the United
00:35:43.960States to give birth to Chinese nationals and then going back to China. But importantly,0.89
00:35:49.700that person now has an American passport, right? That is stupid. You're right. This is a suicidal1.00
00:35:54.880effort on our part. Like, why would we ever do something like that?
00:36:00.980Well, given that the courts had common sense when they needed it, how could this possibly go,
00:36:06.520in your view, how could it possibly go against us? I think the hard part is that you have to
00:36:12.220look at the practice of the united states and until you started talking about this steve until
00:36:17.840donald trump started talking about this on the campaign trail we had about a hundred years where
00:36:22.800the united states just took this as a given again people were not thinking about the long-term
00:36:27.800consequences of this or at least if they were it was a minority voice and it wasn't really out there
00:36:32.340now it is ingrained in the collective consciousness this is a bad idea i think the hard part the
00:36:38.300hurdle you have to get over there is that if for 100 years, the United States has been acting a
00:36:43.580certain way, not because it's dictated by law, to be clear, but they've been nonetheless acting a
00:36:49.120certain way, it's difficult for the Supreme Court. And I think that there are certain justices on
00:36:53.460the Supreme Court who are really nervous about upsetting that. And I think that is likely what
00:36:59.160we're going to see next week. What about, give me your thoughts on this, on the election issues
00:37:05.960that the court's going to, I assume now we're going to get, because normally they do it in the
00:37:10.400morning. I assume now we're going to get these on Monday and they're going to make a break for the
00:37:15.140border. The election issues that are before the court. Yeah, I think these are going to be big
00:37:22.240ones. We have the mail-in ballots, right? And really the question there is what does election
00:37:27.220day mean? Does election day mean election day or does election day mean what we saw in California,
00:37:31.560which is no no ballots can come in days weeks later and they can still skew the election right
00:37:37.180fundamentally it's about confidence in your elections steve how can we have confidence
00:37:42.040whenever you have ballots coming in weeks later that are fundamentally changing the result how
00:37:46.700can we have confidence whenever states can develop their own rules so election day doesn't mean
00:37:50.980election day right how many votes do we need in california in order to sway something how many
00:37:55.040votes do we need in fulton county in order to sway something right we have seen this time and time
00:38:00.280again and fundamentally what it causes is distrust in the system. That's why the RNC's lawsuit is so
00:38:06.800important because we need election day to mean election day. There's another big case that I
00:38:11.220want to talk about briefly and it really is dealing with coordinating between PACs and
00:38:16.580official campaigns. This is going to be massive. If you look at the amount of money that the GOP has
00:38:22.460and all of the various PACs who are supporting GOP efforts, it far outweighs what the Democrats
00:38:27.740have. And so if we can unlock that money in a coordinated way, Steve, we're going to be very
00:38:32.560well positioned. And what's the ruling on that you think going to be? I'm positive. I think that
00:38:41.120we're going to get a ruling in our favor on that one. And right now, you believe all those will
00:38:46.020happen Monday or Tuesday? That's what I think. No, I think Monday or Tuesday, they've been
00:38:52.360releasing about four opinions a day. And so if we get four or five Monday, four or five Tuesday,
00:38:57.220that should close us out. Talk to me about Todd Blanche and the confirmation process here. Are
00:39:03.940you worried about that? I'm not worried about it. You know, Todd is the utmost professional. He was
00:39:10.020a prosecutor in one of the most prestigious U.S. Attorney's Office in the entire country.
00:39:14.260I worked alongside with him the entire time I was at DOJ, sitting in morning meetings with him
00:39:19.140literally every single day. He follows the law. He's going to do what he needs to do.
00:39:24.620I think that there was some hesitation from Senate Republicans, which, to be honest, Steve, I don't fully understand, related to compensating victims.
00:39:34.200I mean, you would think that we would understand as just a matter of justice that it's not enough to just stop the wrongdoing, but you actually have to undo the wrongdoing.
00:39:44.380You have to put the victim back in the place they were before you harmed them.
00:39:48.500So the idea that Senate Republicans are criticizing Todd for wanting to do that is ludicrous to me, and it just shows a lack of backbone.
00:39:55.740But nonetheless, I think he's got the votes, and I think he's going to do very well.
00:39:59.980So you think all this from the lawfare funding issue, you think that's all been worked through now in the Republican conference and they got these guys on board?
00:40:13.280The other camp of folks who I've heard criticizing Todd are really just the never-Trumpers.
00:40:18.000These are people who would claim a higher allegiance to the Constitution.
00:40:21.980But the irony is, Steve, is that their position actually is contrary to the very Constitution to which they pledge.
00:40:28.440Justice Scalia, in his famous opinion, Morrison v. Olson, talked about a single executive and the head of that executive, the president.
00:40:35.940And that includes the head of DOJ as well.
00:40:39.060In other words, DOJ is not an independent agency that doesn't report up to the president, but rather is subservient to in the constitutional order under the president of the United States.
00:40:51.160So fundamentally, when people are saying, well, Todd Blanche was Donald Trump's personal lawyer, that's too close of a connection.
00:41:20.680Well, Ed Meese was his legal secretary whenever Ronald Reagan was the governor of California.
00:41:24.900So there is a long history of Republicans choosing as their AG someone with whom they have a prior relationship before they became president.
00:41:59.400Ed, I think, was on the staff, but you're 100% correct.
00:42:02.200He was part of that posse that came in from California.
00:42:06.720The confirmation hearings, they're going to try to slow down, but they're also going to make it—the Democrats are going to go out of their way, and I'm not so sure how much the Republicans are defending him, to try to smear Todd Blanche, right?
00:42:19.900to try to make it very difficult for him to actually be an effective attorney general
00:42:24.740for the United States in the Trump administration because of the Trump derangement syndrome.
00:42:32.080This is going to be the biggest clown show we've probably yet seen from Senate Democrats.0.92
00:42:36.400They're going to pull out all the stops.0.83
00:42:38.120It wouldn't surprise me if they fill the courtroom with theatrics, theater.
00:42:43.160They might even stage a walkout at some point, Steve.
00:42:45.620I mean, again, these guys were willing to do absolutely anything to make a spectacle, to make a show, and because of their TDS, to do anything they can to oppose Trump.
