Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 388： Trump For Speaker

00:00:00.000 this is what you're fighting for i mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing

00:00:15.060 people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the authoritarians

00:00:22.820 get total control and total power because this is just like in arizona this is just like in georgia

00:00:28.600 it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations

00:00:33.680 that's why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is the fight

00:00:37.440 all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's your host

00:00:44.560 stephen k bannon donald trump was president taxes were cut regulations were slashed energy was

00:00:53.560 abundant wages were rising capital was returning from overseas to fund the dreams and ambitions

00:01:00.820 of our fellow americans and the economy was roaring what a contrast to what we have seen from this

00:01:08.100 administration now and so i rise to nominate donald trump for the position of speaker of the house

00:01:14.340 and for all of the vitriol that we hear from the media and at times the left there were great moments

00:01:20.540 of bipartisanship under the trump presidency and the democrat nominee for speaker knows that well

00:01:26.960 because he led valiantly on the efforts for criminal justice reform and i was honored to join

00:01:33.360 him and i know no matter who's sitting in that speaker chair we got a lot of work to do on that

00:01:37.980 very issue we took a first step but there's a second step and a third step to take and i'm glad

00:01:43.060 that we were able to work with president trump with republicans and with democrats to provide real

00:01:48.460 outcomes for americans to create greater prosperity and more opportunity where president trump is

00:01:54.640 considering a visit to the u.s capitol early next week as house republicans consider who should be

00:01:59.060 their next speaker according to two gop lawmakers and two trump allies former president who has not

00:02:05.200 set foot on capitol grounds since prior to january 6th is considering making an appearance so he goes

00:02:10.960 on fox news this afternoon and says this quote they have asked me if i want it um not clear who they are

00:02:17.300 their voices in his head who sometimes chime in as well as we all know but basil do you um do we

00:02:22.840 entertain this do we give it oxygen do we ignore it in the next surprise if it happens how do what do

00:02:27.800 we do with this well i think you you have you can't ignore it because the reality is every gop candidate

00:02:34.140 on that debate stage even if they claim to be running against donald trump's policies they still

00:02:39.440 you know sort of feel to each of him so he's going to be a player in all of this um and and of course

00:02:45.760 i hate to say that but the reality is i have to i have to account for it i should say um and you

00:02:51.640 know what you won't see is what we saw in 1994 with newt gingrich standing with members of congress

00:02:56.760 and saying this is the contract with america and all the intellectual underpinnings from the heritage

00:03:01.620 foundation i don't mean to sound wistful about that time but it does it does reinforce uh the this

00:03:09.980 juxtaposition where you had representative comor on tuesday saying we have no plan representative

00:03:14.900 davidson saying there's no path forward to governing so to me what you're looking at with

00:03:20.200 either scalise jordan or yes scalise jordan or and donald trump's influence is that you're looking

00:03:26.400 at who's going to more quickly decimate what's left of the republican party um and and and and create

00:03:32.920 something that is so antithetical to where the rest of this country is um uh that you know i hate to

00:03:39.420 use the term lesser of two evils because i've just we got and by the way memphis we're in the

00:03:45.500 second hour it's thursday five october you're perfect memphis you're doing part of my production

00:03:50.600 team it's so outrageous of what's being said brother he's he's winning every poll you're saying

00:03:57.080 the nation's rejecting this he's winning every poll for president united states so maybe here's what we

00:04:03.040 do if we can do it tell me to do it let's get troy nels on our show earlier today a nominate just to

00:04:08.740 just get that ready and then i want to flip the entire msnbc after that so we hear him nominate okay

00:04:15.100 well we play the gates is what went on in january remember we were the first advocates for trump to

00:04:20.340 be speaker and if trump had stepped in a speaker on some interim basis and just taking us through

00:04:25.280 2023 we wouldn't be here the budget would be cut the appropriations bills would be done the

00:04:32.780 impeachment investigations would have gone on and uh trump be back out into the presidential

00:04:37.700 trouble but no keebler elves none of that waste another waste of time but that didn't happen and

00:04:43.140 we're not one to look back and and wind as you know uh we are where we are but this is quite powerful

00:04:48.260 congressman troy nels from texas was on here today he said he's putting his name he is nominating

00:04:54.400 donald j trump to be interim speaker now his idea of interim speaker went all the way through a lot of

00:05:00.440 2024 my idea is is a lot shorter and it is to allow the party to kind of sit down and have all

00:05:10.440 these things that have to be done here immediately and that would be get the appropriations bills done

00:05:15.240 sit down with the senate hammer out negotiating a conference the overall appropriation is what it's

00:05:21.060 going to be take out the woken weaponized defang uh and who better to do that than having trump 0.99

00:05:26.800 and at the negotiation table with you with mitch mcconnell and sherman on the other side hammer

00:05:31.380 that out and then the white house is going to have a big role in this and then get biden to sign it and

00:05:35.860 get that all done before year end so no omnibus and people being able to look through and see all this

00:05:39.720 stuff in addition take dramatic action on the southern border force biden's hand for they're out today

00:05:47.280 mac daddy on drudge and my yorkas they're saying yeah we got to build a wall we're going to build a wall

00:05:51.080 because the upper west side and upper east side of new york are now overwhelmed with the illegal alien

00:05:57.880 invaders all of a sudden it's uh it's it's a problem you know colorado what number two what

00:06:04.960 bobert tells first hour number two state in the union and fentanyl every state's a border state people

00:06:09.780 dying all over the place crime run rampant what's that situation up in uh is it wisconsin illinois the

00:06:16.900 house where they gang raped a little girl 11 years old all illegal aliens just it's just savages these 1.00

00:06:22.020 are savages not all of them but they're not sending their best that's why it's got to be stopped 0.99

00:06:28.940 if you if you're sending your best it's got to be stopped it's the rules of the rules they're they're

00:06:34.540 they've toned the asylum rules out and just anybody that wants to come can just come that's got to stop

00:06:40.440 trump can stop that trump can also get the investigation oversight going and then

00:06:45.920 as i said this morning on getter that's why you have to go to getter download the app you want to

00:06:50.980 get the inside baseball on the war room and get ahead of the curve you got grace you got mo

00:06:56.420 you got jane zirkle you got natalie g winners ben harnwell the entire team all the team and more

00:07:03.320 putting stuff up all the time war posses all over if you had been on getter you would have seen this

00:07:09.700 morning i don't know it was before the show it was like nine o'clock nine thirty i put up the

00:07:14.100 president trump should come in for a hundred days and leave exactly exactly at high noon on the 20th

00:07:22.860 of january 2024 he should turn it over to whoever the conference picks is it jordan is calice is it

00:07:28.540 uh hearns of oklahoma whoever they've got a lot of folks that are interested in it jump in

00:07:33.000 and in seeing that it'd be one year from the date that he's going to take his put his hand on the

00:07:40.760 bible at high noon and take an oath to heaven as the 47th president of the united states of america

00:07:48.360 it's got symmetry to it it has symmetry if done appropriately tuesday

00:07:54.900 will be one of the most memorable days in american political history be donald john trump

00:08:04.260 returning to the imperial capital to set things right let's go and play i want to play in the

00:08:12.300 order of i think we got sheriff nels this morning the 10 o'clock show and i really want to thank him

00:08:16.360 uh and then we'll play msnbc this is the first guy just came across the wire where msnbc you see their

00:08:22.100 original and i'll let it and and and we love playing msnbc clips and cnn but more msnbc because

00:08:28.700 that gets to you more because you can see how they're positioning things that's what we play them

00:08:32.360 we know it irritates you it's supposed to irritate you i didn't say the show is supposed to be easy

00:08:37.540 if you want easy shows this is probably not the place for you okay let's go and play it and you look

00:08:44.900 at what we see today now with biden we got a crisis on every corner and we didn't have these issues when

00:08:50.180 trump was president i'm thinking he did such a fabulous job he was the greatest president of my

00:08:55.060 lifetime if uh he made america great again why do we get donald trump to make congress great again i

00:09:00.820 mean we it seems right now we've got individuals that are vying that are going to run for speaker

00:09:06.980 of the house i don't know if we can find consensus find that candidate um and i just think donald trump

00:09:14.060 would be the perfect interim he could stay there for 14 months uh be the speaker of the house continue

00:09:20.420 to run for president and then uh after january he could just move right over into the white house

00:09:25.520 where he belongs it's done i am nominating donald j trump for speaker of the house yes

00:09:33.140 president trump is considering a visit to the u.s capitol early next week as house republicans

00:09:38.100 consider who should be their next speaker according to two gop lawmakers and two trump allies

00:09:43.460 former president who has not set foot on capitol grounds since prior to january 6th is considering

00:09:48.560 making an appearance so he goes on fox news this afternoon and says this quote they have asked me if

00:09:54.520 i want it um not clear who they are their voices in his head who sometimes chime in as well as we all

00:10:00.280 know but basil do you um do we entertain this do we give it oxygen do we ignore it and the next

00:10:06.340 surprise if it happens how do what do we do with this well i think you you have you can't ignore

00:10:11.200 it because the reality is every gop candidate on that debate stage even if they claim to be

00:10:16.880 running against donald trump's policies they still you know sort of feel to each a.m so he's going to

00:10:22.860 be a player in all of this um and and of course i hate to say that but the reality is i have to i have

00:10:28.520 to account for it i should say um and you know what you won't see is what we saw in 1994 with newt

00:10:35.280 gingrich standing with members of congress and saying this is the contract with america

00:10:38.540 and all the intellectual underpinnings from the heritage foundation i don't mean to sound wistful

00:10:43.760 about that time but it does it does reinforce uh the this juxtaposition where you had representative

00:10:51.800 comor on tuesday saying we have no plan representative davidson saying there's no path forward to governing

00:10:57.660 so to me what you're looking at with either scalise jordan or yes scalise jordan or and donald trump's

00:11:05.080 influence is that you're looking at who's going to more quickly decimate what's left of the

00:11:09.600 republican party um and and and and create something that is so antithetical to where the rest of this

00:11:16.000 country is um uh that you know i hate to use the term lesser of two evils because i just generally hate

00:11:21.980 saying that but in my strategy this my strategist hat is well who's the one that's going to unite

00:11:27.980 republicans the most and raise the most money for the more vulnerable members that probably is going

00:11:34.720 to be part of the test but the reality is it doesn't matter anyway because it's it's all bad and it's all

00:11:40.080 the worst possible outcome david jolly what are you hearing about the pacing of okay um

00:11:48.040 you saw the first response they're going to decimate what's left no if they're telling you do

00:11:54.900 something do the opposite that's generally what you want to do do the opposite um this is very

00:12:03.320 important so war room posse listen up number one on the two zero two two two five three one two one

00:12:11.820 or make sure there's a lot going on uh south carolina rhinos the established south carolina are dragging

00:12:17.660 uh nancy mace because of her heroic stand if you're down in her district or if you're in the

00:12:23.160 state of south carolina or if you're have become a fan of nancy mace and her principled stand

00:12:28.320 i remember nancy mace and of course the the media was going oh bannon confronted her we didn't she 0.60

00:12:33.620 been on the show before they haven't been confronting she's a her interpretation of the constitution 1.00

00:12:38.440 she voted for my uh contempt charge hey we're in the middle of a revolution i can i can you know

00:12:45.000 you're going to have alliances and you're going to have alliances i have no i don't agree with that

00:12:49.360 obviously in my appeal which will come i think now in november the government's asked for a delay

00:12:54.280 because of a personal tragedy to one of the people on the government's team

00:12:57.580 i think the appeals now in november uh it's very tightly argued and my attorneys are also

00:13:04.700 constitutionalists and make a very compelling argument about some of the biggest constitutional

00:13:09.140 issues in the house and also about executive privilege and other things and that'll all come

00:13:14.620 out over time as you know i never talk about the the cases on here because i think it's it's

00:13:18.960 more appropriate just let it play out in a court of law um but i have no problem i don't agree with

00:13:24.640 her but i have no problem particularly having her in the war room and now she's getting dragged down 1.00

00:13:27.980 to south carolina so for the media no it was no i was teasingly saying she had voted to send me to

00:13:34.340 a federal prison we got uh we're gonna get natalie up in a second natalie's in a little bit of flame 1.00

00:13:40.940 more natalie our own natalie g winners now natalie uh you have been so focused on probably the lead

00:13:47.700 investigator about the chinese communist party its infiltration america everything wuhan recently you

00:13:53.780 have done a pivot because we need to get into the back of a lot of the stuff in ukraine you've written

00:13:58.740 a number of stories just been fantastic there's a congressman today that's taking umbrage with your

00:14:05.380 uh with your reporting and analysis can you walk us through it of course

00:14:09.880 the a season pond uh this is representative marcy captor from ohio a democrat on the appropriations

00:14:20.480 committee she's also the co-chair of the congressional ukraine committee um but this has to do with the

00:14:26.200 story that i published earlier today and we talked about on war room how there were a lot of people in

00:14:30.120 the mainstream media pushing for more aid to ukraine who also happened to be on the u.s ukraine business

00:14:35.740 council lobbying group that represents not just the defense industry but the ukrainian government

00:14:40.440 itself and i continue to look into the group today and believe it or not a you know current u.s

00:14:46.140 congressman that is representative marcy captor is also a strategic advisor to this entity which in and 0.53

00:14:52.000 of itself i think is i mean that's that's the true story right it's absolutely ridiculous i'm gonna

00:14:58.200 keep digging into her because obviously i touched a nerve or the democrats just have something with

00:15:03.360 unregistered foreign lobbying but she didn't like that i took to twitter to expose her for doing this 1.00

00:15:09.660 so i'll read what she she quote tweeted in the shade war she said basically keep in mind she's

00:15:15.880 basically admitting to working for a foreign lobbying group by saying this she says the all

00:15:20.780 volunteer u.s ukraine business council seeks to establish and deepen economic connections and trade

00:15:26.380 between freedom-loving peoples in the context of russia's horrific invasion it is vitally

00:15:31.260 important life-saving work meanwhile putin's pawns are everywhere i see she went for the alliteration

00:15:38.340 but uh obviously not true but i think it shows you i mean like you said this morning steve when we get

00:15:44.680 to the bottom of this whole ukraine issue altruism will not be the prevailing uh motivation for what

00:15:51.220 people are doing god is saying it's all volunteer yeah no no i i just want to make sure she called

00:15:59.900 you she referred to you as putin's pawn basically saying that you're doing this at the behest of the

00:16:05.720 kgb and you're one of these sympathizers with putin why would she do that

00:16:10.100 well i think we touched the nerves i think when you really dig down into what the ukraine conflict

00:16:17.420 is about you know i think the stories we've been putting out this week really show that the sort of

00:16:22.680 fog of war that they've created around ukraine and the aid and the actual reality of the fighting on 0.89

00:16:28.940 the ground is intentional right for lack of a better metaphor they're the ones running the fog machines

00:16:34.360 they're the ones calling for continued foreign aid calling or rather opposing audits opposing the

00:16:41.840 ability to actually understand where our money is going because i think again with these stories we've

00:16:47.160 been publishing you can sort of reverse engineer and see that often the interests that whether it's

00:16:53.080 lobbyists the mainstream talking heads or in this case quite literally democratic elected officials

00:16:59.200 who are you know like i said on the appropriations committee the very same members

00:17:03.640 who have written letters to joe biden demanding f-16s for ukraine and have been a leading voice in

00:17:08.860 the house for more ukraine aid even amidst the current negotiations uh over the cr she did a house

00:17:15.840 speech where she said ukraine is our story ukraine must win um and i think there's an un i would say a

00:17:23.440 very sticky unsettling uh convergence between the interests uh not just that people like her represent but

00:17:30.700 also the beneficiaries of these foreign aid packages and like i said if the best line of defense that

00:17:36.220 they got is that were russian disinformation uh how'd that work out for you in 2016 i think we won

00:17:41.940 and uh we'll win again yeah bring it baby uh natalie what's your social media so people can get your

00:17:50.340 work uh in any updates you've been putting up today where they go i'm sure marcy captor will be the

00:17:56.100 first to be seeing what i tweet out as i continue my investigations into her you can go to natalie

00:18:00.900 winters to also join in on the fun it's pretty good you drew uh you drew the ire of a congressman

00:18:08.620 uh in the first day of putting out this uh this series of stuff so good job man thank you sir

00:18:14.440 marcy captor got to understand uh natalie g winters i think she just turned 21 right she's been

00:18:22.700 working with us for years she was an intern over at national pulse worked at national pulse

00:18:27.460 when she was at university of chicago worked for us when she was at university of chicago

00:18:31.180 undergraduate spent most of her time i mean graduate i mean she's acing all the courses at

00:18:35.980 one of the toughest undergraduate programs in the country remember university of chicago is really a

00:18:39.920 graduate school it's got a has an undergraduate uh college but it's really essentially a graduate

00:18:45.920 school for brilliant people uh and natalie's been here you you've seen her work it's just absolutely

00:18:51.060 incredible and now she's trained her guns i can tell you this as we've gone through and looked at

00:18:56.180 the ukraine situation the reason i want her to drill down and we're working with other people are 0.98

00:19:00.220 too there is something um and i've said this many times it there's something very dark when we get to

00:19:08.040 the bottom of it and we're not to the bottom of it when we get to the bottom of it it's going to be

00:19:11.840 very dark and a very shameful moment in um in american history of how we how we got in there

00:19:22.260 how we did it what we did who we did it for where the money went all of it what was going on

00:19:28.980 and there's so many complex layers and people are pulling it back every day but just like in the way

00:19:34.720 you know you negotiate the way as you can sell being a war room aficionado or posse member

00:19:40.500 we have a certain house style here and usually that's to slam into something and try to you know

00:19:45.900 drive it in a different direction more to your objectives this is why ukraine right now is so

00:19:51.600 central to all the things we're talking about and think about it for a second the invasion of the

00:19:56.080 southern your southern border an invasion of your country a loss of your sovereignty

00:19:59.760 a loss of really the value of your citizenship is all about your eyes i mean think about the

00:20:05.860 beautiful the as beautiful a state majestic colorado is majestic when you come off of those

00:20:12.980 plains from nebraska and you see the rocky mountains and you get into the rockies or if you come up

00:20:17.040 through um if you go to four corners and come through that way if you come through the the southern

00:20:22.800 part you come through new mexico it is such the rocky mountains there it's so majestic it's really a

00:20:27.880 breathtaking the beauty of the state is is nothing short of breathtaking and the folks out there are among

00:20:33.340 the finest in the united states america think about that for a second it's a because they made a

00:20:38.760 sanctuary state it's the number two state in the country for fentanyl i think fentanyl deaths as

00:20:42.700 congressman bobert told us that's why every town's a border town every state's a border state i said this

00:20:48.640 on we build the wall that was the number one thing we knew with the money we had we can only build x amount

00:20:53.420 of miles of wall this was the time that pelosi really had president trump handcuffed so he couldn't

00:20:58.600 build it but in building that you would make the case and be able to make the case that it's you

00:21:05.640 have to build a wall as a starter you have to seal off the southern border as a starter because of what

00:21:10.720 policy-wise we were allowed to happen and then there's obviously so much more it goes on

00:21:14.320 but the case we made is that every town this is back in 2019 every town's a border town and every

00:21:22.900 state's a border state we were the first ones to say that that was back in 19 we went around the

00:21:26.580 country from arizona to cincinnati ohio up to detroit michigan i gave these big conferences

00:21:33.320 all-day events

00:21:35.300 and it came true it was coming true then and and doing that and all the complexity and and having

00:21:43.120 to do these mass deportations where they're they're hiding they're not doing the proper

00:21:47.620 checking and vetting here and they're not doing because they don't want any deportations

00:21:51.880 think about in all of in all of that ukraine ukraine ukraine ukraine ukraine ukraine they

00:21:58.780 were prepared to shut down the government over ukraine they're coming back now with games and

00:22:03.060 you've heard jordan because there's enough worked up congressmen because of you the audience to go

00:23:15.300 mccarthy came in with the uh with the uh the clean cr essentially they cost him his speakership or one

00:23:21.020 of the many things that cost him his speakership the lies and misrepresentations about that being

00:23:24.600 at least the foremost in people's mind mcconnell sat down at that lunch or sat down on the table and

00:23:30.880 just said hey we're putting in six billion dollars they're going to do six billion dollars the senate

00:23:35.000 republican collaborations who always agree with him didn't kowtow this time didn't kowtow they said you

00:25:47.100 amazing uh speeches he and gates and um good were the prosecution in their case they won their case

00:25:55.120 because uh mccarthy's gone birchgold.com slash the fourth i'm so proud of this the fourth in the

00:26:03.760 series the end of the dollar empire this is the assassination of american prosperity it takes the

00:26:09.760 story up to 1971 a weekend at camp david a three-day weekend from friday to sunday friday they went up

00:26:17.500 with the team and on sunday president nixon addressed the nation and guess we told him hey guess what

00:26:21.900 the gold is no longer convertible u.s dollar is no longer convertible into gold sorry about that

00:26:28.480 did they pass a law no they did not he signed an emergency executive order which by the way

00:26:34.840 in my understanding an executive order can be signed by donald john trump right after high noon on the 20th

00:26:41.340 of january 2025 and rescind that now think about that for a moment on on our way on our path our journey

00:26:50.540 to end the fed go check it out at birchgold.com slash bannon right now one of the heroes andy biggs

00:26:57.320 joins us when we return

00:26:58.760 we're talking about additional ukraine funding is that gonna maybe that's good in your districts

00:27:19.160 maybe it's not

00:27:20.660 but that money's not offset we're not paying for it we haven't designated how we're going to pay for that

00:27:27.580 the same with the disaster package

00:27:30.560 the irs remains

00:27:37.380 80 percent increased

00:27:39.540 and i would tell you i could get i will go i could go down the list but i will just tell you

00:27:45.160 why this happens when you don't do your 12 budget bills and you rely ultimately on a cr and i'll get

00:27:52.360 to the calendar in a second what happens is you cannot leverage this administration to actually

00:27:58.960 enforce the border laws that you need to have enforced this is a lawless biden regime they will 0.99

00:28:05.980 not enforce border laws and we can pass them till we're blue in the face but until you leverage

00:28:12.780 the budget and the spending you will not see enforcement by these by this this administration

00:28:20.380 so now take a look at the calendar that the that we were just provided last week

00:28:25.320 we're supposed to finish we're supposed to finish by november 3rd our 12 bills

00:28:31.420 by november 17th that's when we're supposed to see that the conference committees have come together

00:28:39.760 both sides and we've resolved this i don't believe that that's going to happen

00:28:44.540 it wasn't going to happen before you were you were betting on the come again at some point i'd

00:28:54.080 urge you to stop betting on the come and bet on the reality that's why i can't support the speaker

00:28:59.360 any longer i'll be voting for the motion to vacate yield back

00:29:02.600 reserve general use package

00:29:03.940 congressman biggs uh you've been a hero to people on this show and throughout the nation

00:29:10.380 not just in your own district of the of the you're straightforward you don't try to play any games

00:29:15.380 you walk things through i thought the speech was incredibly powerful and just the basic way you

00:29:19.760 walked through and made this compelling case and here's what i found and you got to help us out here

00:29:23.980 that's why i want to have you on because the audience is confused

00:29:25.980 the defense and they had so many speakers and some people we really respect up there but a lot that

00:29:32.920 you know or maybe marginal but it was just one happy talk talking point after the other

00:29:38.660 you congressman good and matt gates i mean brought the heat and you did it a much

00:29:44.300 more low-key demeanor to lay out facts but you guys were bringing the heat they were just going

00:29:50.080 through a series of seem like rnc or fox news talking points what was the strategy the strategy

00:29:55.920 the work that you gates and good came up with and the others walk us through what were you doing

00:30:00.260 what were you trying to how were you handling that the prosecution of the case well so for us i i think

00:30:08.420 the overarching theme was to speak to the american people why this is necessary what's going on

00:30:14.480 and give them a glimpse of what's happening and why you have to make some an extraordinary change

00:30:20.360 um in leadership and so matt matt was kind of driving the truck and he said he thought bob should go

00:30:29.300 first which i thought was was true because bob had voted for the that c the first cr bob had voted for

00:30:37.520 the first debt ceiling and so he he had credibility where he could say i was with you guys i was with the

00:30:44.280 speaker but the he's basically devastated he ultimately devastated us on the debt ceiling bill

00:30:51.380 and he and he devastated us again uh the day after on uh of the the cr last friday and so that was

00:30:59.780 important and then matt was matt was doing a good job because matt was kind of laying out his his case

00:31:04.880 and then he was there to take the shots from the other side now the other side was not talking to the

00:31:10.780 american people they weren't they were talking to the body so when garrett graves gets this is is

00:31:16.540 his cell phone up and he takes it up and he's holding it up what he's doing is he's trying to

00:31:22.540 tell the body isn't this awful pernicious uh matt gates is raising money and matt turned it right

00:31:29.820 around on him and said look you guys all raise money from every pack and special interest in

00:31:35.100 washington dc he doesn't matt doesn't get money from packs i good doesn't get money i mean

00:31:39.980 we might get two or three thousand bucks five thousand bucks from a pack or something like that

00:31:44.280 from all the packs and they're all going to be like pro second amendment pro-life packs but they

00:31:49.540 don't give much money and we don't get much money our money comes in from donors who who agree with us

00:31:55.940 and they're sending it in and they didn't like it and so so they're speaking to the the body they're

00:32:01.580 not speaking to the american people and then when i got up i was trying to lay out the case

00:32:04.760 why why you have two massive failings of of this of of speaker mccarthy's administration and they both

00:32:14.600 have led to greater inflation uh failure to get anything done uh you nobody can tell you what

00:32:21.420 we've got done they'll say oh we passed hr1 and hr2 are those laws no they're not laws well why aren't

00:32:27.500 they laws well because the senate won't do anything well why won't the senate do anything the senate won't

00:32:31.440 do anything because the house has failed to do the budget bills and the budget bills are what the

00:32:37.460 founding fathers gave as the leverage against the other house and also against the uh the executive

00:32:46.640 branch they're our check and these guys give up the check every year by doing the cr and don't forget

00:32:52.720 we we walked into a debt ceiling that says there is no debt ceiling and we're not even going to revisit

00:32:57.140 it until january 2025 after the 24 election which by the way both are the things that joe biden said

00:33:03.340 he wanted out of the debt ceiling is it not the deficit by the way article today so you got the the

00:33:11.520 one month at a high from uh 2001 i think the three month the high from 2000 uh the the three year five

00:33:20.300 year ten year at highs from right before the financial crash in 2007 which is always a great sign

00:33:25.340 the 30s at a at a at a 25 year high the 30 year mortgage is now i think the biggest the highest

00:33:32.800 has been since 2000 people are getting crushed uh bob bob doll who's the chief investment officer of a

00:33:39.860 huge head fund was on fox business today and this guy i've seen before he's a very methodical guy he's

00:33:45.380 not flashy he said look uh i've done some basic numbers here and unless we get control now of this

00:33:52.320 spending and i mean now with real cuts in a real plan we are potentially heading in the short term

00:33:58.760 he says by 24 by he thinks third quarter 24 to what could potentially be a great depression

00:34:05.280 and this guy is no he's not an alarmist what i think this audience admired most about you in this

00:34:11.540 entire thing because the war and posse stayed up to three in the morning and watched the amendments

00:34:15.240 they wanted to see the process they wanted to see the amendments process every time you stood up on an

00:34:20.000 amendment you would give in your five minutes you would give a minute 90 seconds or two minutes to

00:34:25.000 lay out the amendment and the argument then you would always pivot you were like uh cato the elder

00:34:30.860 right about carthage because he would end everything and oh and carthage must be destroyed

00:34:35.980 you you pivoted to cato the elder and every time you came right back to the same top you came right

00:34:41.060 back to the spending you came right back to the to the debt where are we is this is this fight at the

00:34:46.480 end of the day get down to crystallize over that um i'm just going to tell you i it should okay steve

00:34:56.500 it really should will it i don't know um sometimes this stuff gets lost i mean these guys these guys

00:35:04.300 are more interested in in um you know talking points how do what can you give to talking points

00:35:10.380 in your district and really um steve what you and i are talking about is the existential uh nature of

00:35:17.780 the crisis we are in and my colleagues are not and as long as they refuse to acknowledge that we are in

00:35:23.800 an existential crisis i i want to bring this back to something i didn't say this on the floor i don't

00:35:28.820 i don't remember saying this uh during the amendments fight but here's here it is studies are really clear

00:35:34.380 when an empire goes down and fails the two things happen it loses its geographic integrity in other

00:35:42.420 words its borders are obliterated our borders are obliterated we don't have a southern border anymore

00:35:46.680 it's just gone so that's for step one the second thing is you lose control of your economy which

00:35:52.640 devastates excuse me you lose control of your currency which devastates your economy that's where

00:35:58.080 we are those two things right there that those are necessary conditions to for destruction of an empire

00:36:05.720 um and quite frankly unless we cure it they will also be sufficient um criterion for our for our

00:36:14.900 nation to be destroyed that's why it's so important to get hold of the federal spending and those bills

00:36:22.360 it is the last hope to actually pivot and control and leverage against this administration

00:36:29.380 and by the way i was i did another hit earlier today and the and the host actually read a statement

00:36:35.080 and the statement said that uh you know he's from he was quoting from the wall street journal that

00:36:39.880 that if we don't uh uh immediately take care of our debt debt and deficit then we're going to go right

00:36:47.820 into a depression or something like that i can't remember the exact words but and then the guy's asking me

00:36:52.120 so why well you know why are you so fixated on this i'm like you just read it why

00:36:56.000 stop that didn't happen tell me that didn't happen it happened it happened yeah i mean that's i mean 0.96

00:37:06.360 but but yeah i want to go back because these people are plenty smart it's not that they're dumb you got

00:37:12.660 a lot of lawyers i know you got a lot of lawyers you got a lot of businessmen men and women these are

00:37:17.800 not stupid people and they've come up to a system some like eli crane have come out of kind of

00:37:21.880 nowhere to win a house seat but most of those have been a state legislatures like you have 1.00

00:37:26.240 they've worked their way through the system or been mayors have been county supervisors

00:37:29.380 this is not their first rodeo why is it just the way the system is that does not want them to focus

00:37:37.580 on it because it's too overwhelming why will they not just look at what the central problem we have

00:37:42.700 to get around if we don't solve this problem the country's over now there's so many other things

00:37:48.180 are important but this is absolutely existential what does the conservative side not get about

00:37:54.240 that well i'm gonna i'm gonna give you a couple of reasons why so i think i think i believe in path

00:38:02.680 dependence i believe in increasing returns and what's happened these guys have built up regimes and

00:38:07.500 institutions and rules that keep them going down the same path right so they believe in that and and so

00:38:14.940 they get elected and the leadership immediately goes to them and tries to co-op them they tried

00:38:19.060 to co-op me um and actually uh before i got elected and then when they realized they couldn't they

00:38:24.680 actually spent money against me to try to overturn my election so so this is what happens and it is the

00:38:29.980 it is a uniparty and i know people said oh yeah you don't mean uniparty i do mean uniparty i mean

00:38:35.380 the the the k street lobbyists the people who leave here from congress and go out and make millions of

00:38:41.260 dollars as lobbyists after they leave congress i mean all of this they build these regimes and

00:38:46.320 institutions so you keep going down the same path and when when you begin to exit and all we've done

00:38:53.480 now steve with this with this change in guard here is we've actually stepped on the path for a short-term

00:38:58.720 exit the short-term pain is high and nobody likes to experience the short-term pain but the long-term

00:39:05.740 rewards are so optimal and beneficial that i think it's important to take the pain it's like getting

00:39:12.420 surgery to be healed the surgery is going to in the recovery may be uh dramatic but maybe in the long

00:39:19.520 term you're in a much better shape but they get caught up in this and the uniparty actually controls

00:39:25.760 this stuff um the media reinforces it uh the the the donor class um that gives to leadership they

00:39:35.940 give to leadership why do they give to leadership instead of giving to me they give to leadership

00:39:40.820 because they think it's rent seeking they're trying to get the rents they're they're trying to pay the

00:39:46.520 rents and and get what they want and and so it's so easy to fall into that trap and so difficult to

00:39:54.160 stand out there look what happens to us i mean um uh we we we get threat we we're called every name

00:40:01.120 in the book which is the big deal i don't care about that really and i also don't care that the

00:40:05.300 packs have you know they they don't they don't give to me i mean they don't give to me they don't give

00:40:10.180 to gates they don't give to good that's fine but what they're trying to do is they will try to ruin

00:40:16.120 your character they'll try to ruin your life look what they've done to matt gates they've tried to

00:40:20.100 ruin his life look what they're doing to donald trump they'll try to ruin his life

00:40:23.440 uh they they've come out and said things about me that are just blatantly false and untrue

00:40:28.140 uh i am now stigmatized in the i will be stigmatized in the history books forever as being

00:40:33.380 an insurrectionist blah blah blah but the point is they want power and control when i say they i mean

00:40:39.980 the uniparty elite it doesn't matter which party you're in it's the elite and they are willing to

00:40:44.380 give up this country for it and my colleagues because because of the most ephemeral things like oh i want

00:40:50.980 to be on this committee or i want to be a a chairman or a subcommittee chairman they will give

00:40:55.880 it up and that's that's the regimes and rules institutions i'm talking about they they get

00:41:01.640 caught up in that instead of saying wait a second we have an existential crisis that must be addressed

00:41:07.540 and they refuse to address it uh steve they refuse to address it which i can only mean i only guess

00:41:13.520 means that they they don't fully uh understand it a lot of them give it lip service by the way

00:41:18.140 they they give lip service to it but when it comes time to stand up and say no mas i will not

00:41:25.240 be participating participating in this one more time we will stop it there will not be another

00:41:30.800 continuing resolution if there has to be a one-day shutdown or a hundred-day shutdown so we can actually

00:41:37.160 bring the spending under control they will not do it they will not do it

00:41:42.920 as you sit here uh today uh not just the leadership race but everything around that

00:41:50.480 knowing the clock is ticking for the cr and you you laid out the case you said guys we have to finish

00:41:55.720 our work on the 13th on the third uh the whole thing's gonna be done but the 17th that's two weeks

00:42:01.820 i think that i think they're coming together and hammering out that joint deal may take a day or two

00:42:06.940 longer so where are we you got a couple minutes here where are we in the picking a speaker in the

00:42:11.720 middle of you should be working this weekend they're not because the establishment wanted you

00:42:15.940 guys out of town so they can work some evil plots out so where are we in all this well um actually

00:42:23.500 you've got a number of candidates steve and i think there will be clarity about who is a viable

00:42:30.920 candidate by tuesday morning and then by tuesday evening i thought i hope it didn't i don't care if it

00:42:36.700 takes till two in the morning uh i think you'll get uh a candidate one way or the other that i hope

00:42:43.940 will be acceptable to 218 and hopefully will guard and protect and recognize the existential crisis

00:42:50.480 we're in and then i i believe fully that by wednesday midnight we'll have a new speaker we will

00:42:55.460 have voted on that speaker one way or the other i think this is going to go through your your of the

00:43:00.580 school of thought this is going to go through quickly yeah i know i know a lot of people say

00:43:04.900 oh we'll never get there but you know what um i i think that that the appetite by my colleagues to

00:43:13.020 stay around and fight i i haven't seen a lot of fighting so many of them for you know the only time

00:43:18.500 they've ever fought is to defend kevin mccarthy um and that's that's no longer the case i think that

00:43:23.740 they're going to have to do some self-reflection and i think they're going to hopefully the most of them

00:43:28.920 because i think many of them actually understand the crisis but hopefully they will stand up and

00:43:33.880 say it's actually time to do it and then we'll get through more quickly steve than i than i think

00:43:38.700 many people are predicting the motion of vacate was really the grassroots damocles sword

00:43:44.700 over the head of the uh of the establishment where do you people look to you for guidance where do you

00:43:50.420 stand on the motion of vacate you got to keep it where it is um you know people like jim jordan

00:43:56.460 steve scolise they're willing to keep it where it is it has to stay where it is it is it really is

00:44:03.380 in in a time of crisis it it becomes uh important i i do think it's interesting that that the moderates

00:44:11.000 who think that jim jordan is all you know this conservative icon uh they want to make it harder

00:44:16.000 to remove him if he does something they don't like i i do find that to be ironic um but i do think

00:44:21.660 that that the the posse needs to let people know you got to keep that that that turned out to be

00:44:28.900 far more valuable than i ever would have given it credit uh for to be honest with you uh no that was

00:44:35.700 it was incredible that was quite powerful uh president trump is and we talked about today put up

00:44:41.280 president trump on an interim basis for 100 days he would step down uh one on the one-year date before

00:44:47.520 his inauguration in 2025 this january so it'll be 100 days and get us through hammer through all the

00:44:53.280 deals no no cr no omnibus get that done get the investigation on track uh your your thought people

00:44:59.880 look to you for guidance your thoughts about president trump potentially as an interim well i i think that

00:45:05.820 when he shows up on tuesday which he said he's going to do he will he will provide some clarity for

00:45:11.060 some people who might otherwise not have clarity uh uh he is the leader of the party uh i i don't

00:45:18.220 want him to be frank with you the guys the guys in multiple lawsuits and criminal uh cases i don't

00:45:24.420 want him to be distracted by the the lunacy of congress uh because i want him to i want him to be

00:45:31.000 the president i want to be the president of the united states i'm looking forward to campaigning with

00:45:34.980 him and going with him wherever you know i know people are gonna uh people have already nominated

00:45:40.760 and he's already in the queue to be nominated um i think it'll be a secret ballot i think some of my

00:45:46.380 colleagues would absolutely say say no but but what it will provide steve is a real incentive and

00:45:51.880 clarity i believe for people uh you know there's going to be people that it's an incentive to not vote

00:45:58.020 but for many people be incentive to to support his ideas um but i think you know i don't think that

00:46:05.200 he's going to be the speaker but i do think he's going to be the president and he'll be a great

00:46:09.940 president again i think you're correct i think the specter of trump will act like the gallows for

00:46:18.360 many of your colleagues and get there'll be a lot this will be quite clear there'll be quite there'll

00:46:22.680 be a lot of focus there will not be any wasted time i i hate to use this uh crass terms go ahead but
