00:00:59.460No, I didn't hear about it then, but a lot of people have heard about it, and Jensen totally denies that.
00:01:05.820I asked him today, because I did speak to him today, just to see if he's feeling all right, how you doing, and I asked him about that, and he said he had absolutely no idea that the person in question was a spy.
00:01:19.320I asked him that question, did you have any idea that she was a spy? He said, I had no idea that she was a spy, and I really believe him.0.50
00:01:26.160The Press has a breakthrough on Ukraine
00:06:29.800they lost 65 000 in vietnam we're in there for seven months they're in there for 21 years
00:06:37.220what about impeaching those people what about impeaching the leaders of0.99
00:06:41.660these stupid wars that were done when nothing was gained in iran they won't have a nuclear weapon1.00
00:06:48.520that's a big thing now short term probably bad for me because people want to have a little bit0.99
00:06:54.340lower energy cost we'll get it back down i created the lowest cost you know it's even
00:06:59.220lower now than it was with biden and obama but i've done something different they won't have a
00:07:04.820nuclear weapon that's a big thing and with the other we're making a fortune and we have tremendous
00:07:09.300amounts of oil we're going to have we have more oil including venezuela than saudi arabia and
00:07:17.700russia combined by far in fact by two yeah please do you believe the midterms were rich sir to
00:07:23.540follow up do you believe the midterms were well i think the numbers were terrible in terms of
00:07:27.860those early votes you look at all those early votes and and look at another one i'm watching
00:07:33.300alaska so you have a guy named dan sullivan and another guy named dan sullivan runs
00:07:39.860and one's a j and one's an s and the one with the j which is the fake dan sullivan tries to have his
00:07:45.380initial change to s he never ran before he never was a political person before he was fraudulently
00:07:54.100put in the race and then they tried to change his middle name so it was a nested to confuse
00:07:59.460so dan sullivan and the woman peltola is they're very close he's only i guess she's four or five
00:08:08.100hundred votes but this fake dan sullivan because of confusion only because they're meant to vote
00:08:14.740has 2 500 almost 3 000 votes that means he wins the election but in addition they have a second
00:08:22.020person they put in and they made a big issue with the second and that person does 4 000 or 5 000
00:08:28.260votes those votes should go also but even if you don't include that you have a dan sullivan
00:08:35.300and a dan sullivan and the democrats put him up in order to confuse the voters
00:08:42.020so anybody that voted for that second dan sullivan the fake dan sullivan was supposed to be a vote
00:08:47.700for the real dan sullivan so they stole it and that election should be called right now because
00:08:54.980dan sullivan won easily if you add up the numbers now if you add up the numbers for
00:09:00.020the second person they put in he's leading by six seven thousand votes
00:09:03.860He won two wars. He was in charge. We all won. I had great people. You what? Massey says that he's carried out. Massey's a loser. Just like you're a loser at CNN. Just like your ratings are a loser. Massey is a loser. Stone Cold loser.
00:09:31.860I ran I did something that nobody's done I took on a guy that was in his own way sort of popular in0.93
00:09:39.160his state and I beat him badly beat him easily with a man that never ran before but a good man
00:09:48.620Massey has a lot of hatred in his heart I watched I heard what Massey did I don't want to watch I
00:09:55.500don't want to waste my time watching him. We won two wars. We won two wars and we've made the world
00:10:03.180a lot safer place. And then we're supposed to be. Why haven't we gone after all these other people
00:10:09.300that ran wars that lost? What about this? What about what about what about good old Lloyd? Why
00:10:15.580didn't we go after him? Why didn't we go after the people that disappeared? They're in charge of the
00:10:20.920military and they disappeared from nobody knew had any idea that nothing happened to him. What about all these people that lost wars? You don't have to. All I can say is this. We have the highest recruit the recruitment numbers of you know when I came in when I was campaigning. We had the worst recruitment people wanting to join the military in the history of our country. We couldn't fill any of the spots. It was a disaster.
00:10:50.920now we have the best numbers we've ever had more people want to be in the army navy air force marines coast guard even the police space force firemen anybody with a uniform so now we have the best numbers we've ever had and i will say this the soldiers the actual soldiers the great people that do the work the great patriots they love pete hexath so if you go back two years ago before i got into office
00:11:20.900Two years ago, we could not recruit people.
00:18:36.880in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America
00:18:41.900against Peter Brian Hegseth, Secretary of Defense,
00:18:45.280in maintenance and support of its impeachment
00:18:48.100against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.
00:18:51.020Article 1, Waging War and Contravention of the War Powers Resolution of 1973, Section 2C.
00:18:59.560The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives shall have the sole power of impeachment
00:19:04.940and that civil officers of the United States, including the Secretary of Defense,
00:19:09.580shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
00:19:18.460In his conduct, while Secretary of Defense Peter Brian Hegseth, in violation of his oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, especially with regard to the Commission of War, has abused the powers of the Department of Defense.
00:19:41.360In that, the Declare War Clause of the United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 11, vests in Congress the exclusive initiatory powers of war, while the Military, Administrative, and Clemency Clause of the United States Constitution, Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1, establishes the President as the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces
00:20:05.520and vests in him operational control over wars lawfully authorized by Congress.
00:20:12.340In an effort to statutorily delineate the circumstances
00:20:16.040under which the President may introduce United States Armed Forces into hostilities
00:20:24.720the 93rd Congress of the United States enacted into law House Joint Resolution 542,
00:20:31.480the War Powers Resolution of 1973, Public Law 93-148, by overriding the veto of President
00:20:42.340Richard Nixon. Peter Brian Hegseth, in his capacity as Secretary of Defense,
00:20:48.820has executed unlawful orders in contravention of Section 2C of the War Powers Resolution of 1973.
00:20:56.200three. It's been really interesting to see how Secretary Hegseth has been reacting to all of
00:21:01.580these calls for impeachment. We know from Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Joel Valdez that the
00:21:07.620chief Pentagon spokesperson, Sean Parnell, convened this meeting where they sort of discussed
00:21:12.840strategy and decided that they were going to do this sort of social media blitz. And over the
00:21:19.560course of the last several days, we've seen all of these political appointees inside of the Pentagon
00:21:24.660post on X, stand, fight and defend the Republic with all of these pictures of Secretary Hegseth
00:21:31.500with the new chief of staff, Stephen Miller. But we're even starting to see these social media
00:21:37.340videos from the White House itself sort of backing up Secretary Hegseth's resume. And I think what's
00:21:44.640even more fascinating is that video that Secretary Hegseth put out himself where he referred to Massey
00:21:50.740as this defeated, disgruntled congressman who was aligning himself with the Democrats. And he
00:21:58.020doubled down on so many of the things that he's done over the past two years that have been
00:22:03.800incredibly unpopular. He talked about how he's bringing the faith of the founding fathers back
00:22:10.280into the formations and how he believes that the military should actually be used to assist
00:22:16.020in mass deportations. So it seems like at least publicly, there doesn't seem to be any concern
00:22:23.960as Paula sort of outlined that these impeachments could actually result in him being removed from
00:22:31.360office. But it seems like he's certainly trying to court people within the administration like
00:22:36.960President Trump and Stephen Miller, who he thinks are powerful enough to potentially save him.
00:22:43.020in the House. Is this going to make it to a floor vote?
00:22:46.740So it will, Katie. And the reason why is because of the mechanism by which Thomas Massey is
00:22:51.820bringing this to the floor. Just so folks understand what's going on right now, you see
00:22:55.320him on the House floor. He is doing what's called making his resolution privileged. And that's
00:22:59.780because the only way that things can get a vote in the House of Representatives is if the speaker
00:23:04.380puts it on the floor, unless you go through the privileged route, which is essentially a special
00:23:09.080mechanism by which members of Congress can force legislation to the floor for a vote. Thomas Massey
00:23:14.360is doing that right now. He has to read every single word on that resolution. It's 34 pages.
00:23:20.080He's likely to be there for a little bit longer. Once there is that move to make it privileged,
00:23:26.180leadership, GOP leadership, will have two legislative days to act on the legislation.
00:23:30.600They need to set a vote within that two-day time span. Now, they can either put the resolution on
00:23:35.360the floor and hold the vote and let the chips fall where they may, or they can motion to table
00:23:39.640it or motion to refer it to committee. All of those options would require a majority vote for
00:23:44.360success. And at this moment, it is still unclear what route Speaker Johnson will take. But he did
00:23:49.540speak to reporters just a few minutes ago here in the Capitol, in the hallway. He was asked if he
00:23:53.980plans to motion to table this resolution. I'm going to read to you what he said, because he
00:23:58.280holds the cards in terms of what comes next. He said, quote, impeach your cabinet secretary right
00:24:02.860now, especially the Department of War in the middle of hostilities abroad, would be a terrible,
00:24:07.160terrible look, a terrible thing for our allies and enemies to see that. And we don't impeach
00:24:10.880cabinet secretaries for political gain or for cheap tricks. And I think that's what this is.
00:24:15.200And everyone knows what it is. So it sounds like Johnson is going to try and thwart this effort,
00:24:20.500probably doing a motion to table. Now, if Congress defeats that, if there are enough
00:24:25.260House members who vote against it, then we would see that vote on impeaching Hegseth.
00:24:29.620And I've been speaking to Republicans this week and last week, and they tell me they expect it to be successful.
00:24:35.260On one hand, it's a numbers game. Right now, Democrats hold 214 seats in the House.
00:24:39.780You just need a simple majority of 218 for a impeachment resolution to be successful.
00:24:44.880There were already some Republicans who weren't feeling great about Pete Hegseth.
00:24:48.640And then you bring in the fact that there are more than a dozen folks here who are right now lame duck Republicans who lost their reelection,
00:24:54.820him have nothing on the line and may be more interested in taking that step to impeach Pete
00:25:00.020Hegseth. And then there's the fact that I'm told that there aren't Republicans who are thrilled
00:25:03.560with the job he's been doing. They don't think he's handled the Iran war well. They don't think
00:25:07.680he's been leading the department well. There's even been some frustrations with how he's handled
00:25:11.260himself during committee hearings when he'd been up here on Capitol Hill. As one House Republican
00:25:15.920told me last week, there are just some Republicans up here who do not like Pete Hegseth. So we are
00:25:21.540going to see this vote happen one way or another once Thomas Massey is done reading those articles
00:25:26.660and once Speaker Johnson sets this vote, because again, by the mechanism that Massey is doing this,
00:25:31.540the house has to vote on this matter. And I suspect since we saw the secretary
00:25:35.780have scheduled his own press conference, that they're going to let him deliver a rebuttal.
00:25:40.740And to that point, I hope he addresses the eight articles and doesn't get up and misquote the Bible0.92
00:25:46.900in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some pull-ups and call everybody fat and gay for being for this0.96
00:25:54.420impeachment. I may have just given you half his speech. I don't know. But I would like to see him0.98
00:26:01.240go through the eight articles of impeachment and just make the argument from a podium.
00:26:06.580You can use notes, get the lawyers to help you. Tell us why you are not guilty of each of these
00:26:12.440eight articles of impeachment. I hope that's what he does. And so that's my answer to your
00:26:17.200question. When do I suspect it's going to be? I suspect it's not going to be tonight
00:26:20.460or tomorrow before that, before the secretary speaks.
00:26:26.340Monday, 9 November, year of war, 2026, started with the president in the briefing room. I've
00:26:30.980got David Zier and Neil McCabe. Others are going to join. We've had to restructure the show
00:26:35.740because there's a lot going on in Texas and about immigration. We'll get to all that in a moment.
00:26:40.060um david zier just technically i believe that pete hegseth the secretary of war
00:26:47.060has scheduled a press conference for from 8 a.m tomorrow morning am i correct on that
00:26:52.180yes you are steve and uh got to gaggle with him today on the tarmac outside the navy war college
00:27:00.100in rhode island today and you know steve uh hegseth and trump are realigning the world
00:27:08.140You know, I was in Brussels with them.
00:27:11.000They got NATO to cough up their 5% and be on a wartime footing.0.52
00:27:15.120I was in Panama at the cartel coalition.
00:27:19.000They got 19 to 26 Latin American nations to join in the fight against the narco-traffickers.
00:27:24.840Ecuador begging us for help with their murder rate quintupling over the last five years.
00:27:29.340Our recruitment goals have been met five months early.
00:27:32.280I was at Texas A&M with Hexler where the Corps of Cadets pulled them up into the stands.
00:27:38.140Slow down. I don't think the charges have anything to do with any of that. He's done some spectacular stuff.
00:27:43.360This is why I think this is important. And I'm not sure I don't see the White House and maybe they're too overwhelmed with other stuff.
00:27:50.420This is very important because this goes about they're going after the War Powers Act about the president actually being able to conduct this war.
00:27:59.440And if they don't if they just get him impeached or some technical thing gets tabled, otherwise they're going to come back on the 3rd of January.
00:28:07.000We're within 60 days when they will have total power in the House and the Senate, and there won't be any type of procedural maneuver that we can do to offset this.
00:29:11.500We'll come back and give you more time.
00:29:13.320This is I think this is very serious that we have to address it about our own national security.
00:29:21.080And so far, you know, saying Matt, you know, ad hominem attacks against Massey are fine.
00:29:28.760but massey's backed up by these radical democrats and the radical democrats are in charge in less
00:29:33.160than 60 days that's i think we have to realize i've got david zier who's been traveling with
00:29:38.840the secretary of war um neil mccabe has been at the white house we're gonna get all that we're
00:29:44.120also gonna go to texas we've got some issues with this amnesty situation although the president
00:29:48.520has said i'm not doing amnesty from the podium so we'll get back of all of it in the war room
00:29:58.760One of my favorite days of the year, Veterans Day, is coming up, and Birch Gold Group is commemorating it with something I think you'll really appreciate.
00:30:07.860From now until 30 October, for every $10,000 you purchase from Birch Gold, you get a free patriotic silver round, and there's no limit on how many you can earn.
00:30:20.840What's more, Birch Gold can help you convert your existing retirement savings into a gold IRA without spending a dime in taxes or penalties.
00:30:29.940For current and former military, they will waive fees for the entire first year on purchases of any amount.
00:30:37.700Birch Gold has earned an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau and served tens of thousands of customers, a lot of them viewers and members of the War Room posse.
00:30:49.520I trust them, and I think you'll see why.
00:30:53.560Text my name, Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898 for a free information kit
00:30:58.520and to claim eligibility for your free silver on a qualifying purchase before 30 October.
00:31:06.200That's Bannon, B-A-N-N-O-N, to 989898.
00:37:03.400And anybody who doesn't think he's getting impeached again,
00:37:05.240you're just dead wrong because they're coming at him again these people this is what they ran on
00:37:11.140to destroy trump and trumpism and they look at pete hex of david zier and all that positive
00:37:16.500stuff you talked about that pete hex has done as secretary of war they look at that as trumpism
00:37:20.880because when they ran the pentagon you didn't have record enlistments you had not meeting your
00:37:26.460enlistment goals you didn't have people in shape uh you didn't have all the goods all the things
00:37:32.520that you just talked about and Pete talked about,
00:37:34.520you didn't have that because the Department of War
00:37:38.040at that time was adrift, and Pete, through Focus, has done it.
00:37:41.700Now, you're going to have questions about the conduct of war,
00:37:43.720but they're not even talking about that.
00:37:44.660They're talking about even the ability to conduct the war.
00:37:48.740So, David, tomorrow at 8, do we have any idea,
00:37:51.640and are you hearing from Sean Parnell or anybody,
00:37:53.720are there going to be lawyers involved?
00:37:55.400Is Pete going to put it really on the defense?
00:37:57.660Because even if Johnson gets some tabling motion
00:38:01.100that can get support. And even that doesn't look like it is. They're going to come right back at
00:38:08.180Pete in early January and then do this where they really send it to a trial where John Thune
00:38:12.200can't block it, sir. They didn't release any details of what they're going to discuss outside
00:38:19.860the content will be related to the impeachment. But I would say that I did not hear Todd Blanche
00:38:26.160say that he would come to the aid of anybody who was under attack in Trump's cabinet in statements.
00:38:33.540And also, you know, there would have to be a precedent where, you know, when was the last time
00:38:38.400congressional approval was sought for any action in modern history by a president, military actions,
00:38:46.700right? So, you know, but listen, they may be successful in doing this. You can indict a ham
00:38:52.700sandwich you know with an overwhelming vote whether it makes rhyme or reason or is uh you
00:38:58.480know can stick in a legal sense um you know they're going to do everything they can to take
00:39:03.640it out i think it's anti-american um but uh you know they could be successful in doing this i just
00:39:09.900think it would be a real shame and thomas massey should be ashamed of himself well one thing they
00:39:16.340we don't want a precedent set because they're coming after bobby kennedy next they're going
00:39:20.620to go after a number i think of president trump's cabinet officials just to try to uh david to try
00:39:27.040to um um paralyze the cabinet from actually doing from actually being able to accomplish anything
00:39:34.460their whole point in in in their victory and look the victory when you talk about i still can't
00:39:41.020understand these numbers but that's a conversation for another day we're doing a lot of work behind
00:39:45.020the scenes but i don't understand them and don't feel comfortable talking about it publicly until
00:39:48.900we do understand them. But David, and this is why, you know, President Trump last night saying
00:39:55.300we got to think about amnesty or we got to, you know, talk about working together and maybe we
00:39:59.840do DACA. There's nothing you can do with these people that will satisfy them. There's nothing
00:40:05.440can be done. We have to play hardball. We have to play smash mouth. We can't give an inch. And
00:40:10.580that's why right now I'm just a little confused about what's the program here, because all of
00:40:15.920sudden this thing just kind of drifted and drifted. And now Massey's in town. The first thing he's
00:40:20.880done. Can we play the Massey clip? I just want to play it because he's not baiting, but he's laying
00:40:26.900a trap to say, hey, you got the press conference. I want you to address these charges. Can we hear
00:40:30.720Massey's? Can we play that clip one more time? All the secretary has scheduled his own press
00:40:36.660conference that they're going to let him deliver a rebuttal. And to that point, I hope he addresses
00:40:42.660the eight articles and doesn't get up and misquote the Bible in Quentin Tarantino fashion and do some0.97
00:40:49.160pull-ups and, you know, call everybody fat and gay, like for being for this impeachment. Like0.97
00:40:55.660I may have just given you half his speech. I don't know. But I would like to see him go through the
00:41:01.840eight articles of impeachment and just make the argument from a podium. You can use notes, get the
00:41:07.640lawyers to help you. Tell us why you are not guilty of each of these eight articles of impeachment.
00:41:13.800I hope that's what he does. And so that's my answer to your question. When do I suspect it's
00:41:18.200going to be? I suspect it's not going to be tonight or tomorrow before that, before the secretary
00:41:23.560speaks. You see, David and Neil, they're goading him right there. Oh, he's going to set up his own
00:41:29.440press conference and he's going to answer it himself. I mean, I believe because this is all
00:41:34.340a process that Massey's kicked off, I would think that the last thing that anyone would want Pete
00:41:40.460Hegseth to do is to take these charges put up by Massey and these radical Democrats and buy into
00:41:48.100a process where you've got to answer them. Am I correct in that thinking, David Zier?
00:41:55.000Well, Hegseth and the Department of War don't agree that the Venezuelan boat strikes were
00:42:02.140illegal. And again, I'm sure they're going to be surgical in their response tomorrow. I'm sure the
00:42:11.540DOJ is involved in some way and will be going forward, but they don't feel that they've executed
00:42:18.620the war unconstitutionally and they don't feel that they think these post-strikes were under
00:42:26.620the immediate threat to the United States and the well-being of its citizens that they were
00:42:31.720able to conduct these strikes. So, you know, it's going to come down to maybe a TV show trial in
00:42:39.880Congress, and maybe he does get impeached. But, you know, it doesn't mean it's right. And I'm
00:42:47.680sure that Hex said that's going to be very careful tomorrow. He sounded very resolute today, as you
00:42:52.680saw from my gaggle well pete's very resolute i think that there's a number of structural things
00:42:58.520um that we can probably hopefully avoid this but it's coming in january it's going to come
00:43:04.240back in early january because the democrats are hidebound to take get a couple of scalps of bobby
00:43:09.780kennedy and i think pete hexath i think those are the two they targeted david are you going to be
00:43:13.960there eight o'clock tomorrow for the uh for the press conference yeah i i will definitely be there
00:43:20.840And, you know, we'll be in the front seat most likely.
00:43:24.680And hopefully I'll get to ask Pete some more questions on how he's going to handle this and stave off these attacks.
00:43:32.500OK, so we're going to cover that live.
00:43:34.220That'll be a morning sunrise at Real America's Voice.
00:43:36.860And, David, we're going to want you to kick off War Room at 10 o'clock because this is Massey and these radical Democrats coming for Pete Hexen.
00:43:46.120What's your what's your social media, David?
00:43:48.360People can catch up with you in the interim.
00:44:20.840I feel that the president was saying that Pete Hegseth has done everything I've ordered him to do, and he's done it successfully, and by any measure, tactically and operationally, the military has performed flawlessly, right?
00:44:36.820If there are any issues, it's at the geopolitical level, which has nothing to do with Secretary Hegseth, because the military has done everything it's been asked to do.
00:44:45.960And I think that's what the president said, you know, citing Venezuela and citing the military success that they've had in Iran so far.
00:44:54.640And I don't blame him for not getting involved in the nickel and dime of all of, you know, all eight articles, because then you just get wrapped around the axle.
00:45:04.740It's important to note, though, that only the first four articles deal with the conduct of the Iran war.
00:45:11.500The others are the others are number five is the is the strikes against the the drug boats, the fast boats.
00:45:19.460Number six is the retaliation against Mark Kelly.
00:45:23.360Number seven is the seizing of Maduro and his wife.
00:45:27.480And number eight is last year there was the Rough Rider operation against the Houthis.
00:45:33.800And so that also bleeds into, say, Secretary Rubio's remit also.
00:45:38.900And so I just think that the premise, like I said before, is that they're charging him with following illegal orders.
00:45:48.760So if the House says they're illegal orders, in effect, they're saying the president was issuing illegal orders.
00:45:54.080And to get involved in seven versus eight and did we really retaliate against Kelly or we would just mean to him, I think you just get wrapped around the ankle.
00:46:06.020Anyway, Neil, stay at the White House.
00:46:08.060We're going to take a short commercial break. Brian Harrison's with us, a big development in Texas from the lieutenant governor.

00:48:22.700Brian, we've had a big development today in this situation in Texas with the lieutenant governor.
00:48:27.540Explain exactly what happened. I think the lieutenant governor is understanding the issue about these powers that they may inadvertently transfer to this new gang coming in, sir.
00:48:42.920version and maybe the most important thing is the pressure is working okay the posse you watching
00:48:50.040you people that have been melting the phone lines and engaging on twitter or social media the people
00:48:55.800in the texas capital okay the republican establishment they're not happy about this
00:48:59.720but they hear you and boy they are feeling the heat and the latest evidence that we're making
00:49:04.160progress in the need to limit the day the disaster that the democrats can can cause over the next
00:49:10.980four years is that this morning the lieutenant governor of the state of texas dan patrick came
00:49:14.580out with an announcement saying basically that he endorsed the need to limit the power of the
00:49:20.780incoming radical democrats before they take office nine or ten weeks from today now so what he has
00:49:27.200endorsed is that he's endorsed the broad principle guys we got to limit their power okay which is
00:49:32.020what we're saying right that's what i've been saying since the morning after the bloodbath
00:49:35.520you know last tuesday i was the first one out the gate we've been talking about it non-stop here on
00:49:39.420the War Room and other shows across the country. We've got to protect liberty in Texas by limiting
00:49:45.700the amount of damage the Democrats can do. And a big progress today, the lieutenant governor
00:49:50.020formally endorsed the idea. That's the good news. The bad news, it's not going far enough. What he
00:49:55.460has proposed is simply changing the Senate rules for what the lieutenant governor can or cannot do
00:50:01.040within the confines of the Texas Senate. That's good. I applaud that. But there's a lot more
00:50:08.480works. And by the way, it's, again, proof that you are making a difference. You who have engaged
00:50:12.440online, called or emailed, you're making a difference, okay? They're hearing you. Keep it
00:50:16.440up because we've got now to go further. I need the governor. We've got the lieutenant governor
00:50:20.600who's endorsed the concept, but it doesn't impact the governor's emergency
00:50:24.600powers, which means Gina Hinojosa, the incoming governor, will have, if we don't stop0.97
00:50:28.360her emergency powers, which are unconstitutional, I've been trying to limit these powers1.00
00:50:32.540for four years. No governor should be able to wield unchecked unilateral1.00
00:50:36.380power to destroy liberty by edict. If we don't do this, the governor can come in and believe me,
00:50:40.980Bill, you probably don't know this yet, Stephen, today is the first day that people can file bills
00:50:45.080in the Texas legislature. And the Democrats, oh boy, were they prepared. We've got everything
00:50:49.700from socialized health care, Medicare for all, Medicaid expansion. They're coming for your guns,
00:50:55.040guys. Hey, Texans, they're coming for your guns. The Democrats aren't even hiding it. And here's1.00
00:50:59.560the scary part. If we don't have a special session now, if we do not limit governor-elect
00:51:04.120Tina Hoss's executive powers, she can restrict the Second Amendment here in the state of Texas by executive fiat.1.00
00:51:11.260Okay, she's already promised on day one she's going to use these powers to import socialist-style price controls.0.88
00:51:16.800So the good news is they're feeling the heat.
00:51:20.380My colleagues in the Texas House, the establishment Republicans, boy, they are squirming.
00:51:24.560They're squealing because they don't want to go back to the Capitol.
00:51:27.820They don't want to actually have to stay up to the Democrats.
00:51:30.020They would rather pretend to fight when in reality they're surrendering.
00:51:33.440By the way, they should be forced to explain why they would prefer to surrender and do nothing for the next nine weeks as opposed to use every tool available to try and thwart the socialist goals of the Democrats.
00:51:45.660But to sum up here, the posse, the people are rising up, the establishment Republicans in Austin who were largely responsible for the defeats on Tuesday, by the way.
00:52:38.540I mean, look, the lieutenant governor, he is the president of the Senate,
00:52:41.900and he is committed to making certain reforms that I would probably support over in the Senate.
00:52:46.700But at the end of the day, it's the governor.
00:52:48.980And if you're watching Governor Abbott and need a reminder, hey, governor, you're still the governor for over nine weeks.
00:52:56.740And as far as I'm concerned, any elected Republican at any level in the state of Texas government who's not advocating to do everything we can to limit the power of the socialist Democrats, they are derelict in their duty and Texans deserve and they demand action.
00:54:27.220And, of course, you can't negotiate with the Democrats.
00:54:29.160What are they doing right now in Texas?
00:54:30.560They're turning Texas into a sanctuary state unless we take immediate and dramatic action.
00:54:35.460And I mean everything from nationalizing or federalizing the Texas southern border all the way to doing a dramatic action on cutting off money.
00:54:46.760And I mean really cutting off, not pretend cut off, but really cutting off.
00:54:49.540you're going to have a big problem down in Texas.
