Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 518： Johnson Working Behind Closed Doors Against Americans

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

00:00:11.320 people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the

00:00:18.320 authoritarians get total control and total power because this is just like in Arizona this is just

00:00:24.220 like in Georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and

00:00:28.960 misrepresentations is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is the

00:00:33.400 fight all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's your

00:00:40.420 host Stephen K Bannon it's Friday 19 April year of our Lord 2024 very special edition here at six

00:00:49.420 o'clock want to thank Natalie and the team for everything at five we've got Russ Vogt MTG is

00:00:54.620 going to join us momentarily can we put in a perspective today and let's get into the details

00:01:00.400 right because I think people are so shocked we left Las Vegas right after you and Chip had been

00:01:07.620 there and we had great presentations of what people are doing on the ground to make sure that we not

00:01:12.980 just win with President Trump but that there's congressional you know seats up in the air people

00:01:18.760 everybody's focused everybody's fighting and then in the middle of the night in a rules committee they turn

00:01:25.840 it totally over to the Democrats which has never been done before in history and then today you see

00:01:30.620 although it's an impressive number given where people normally on rules with 55 you had 151 so walk us

00:01:37.320 through what happened in the middle of the night how did we get into this position so what happened

00:01:41.980 yesterday was that the Democrats provided the critical support necessary in the rules committee

00:01:47.380 to be able to get it out of committee and remember we've been previewing on this show that you know

00:01:54.960 we didn't think we were going to be able to necessarily stop it in rules and the fact that

00:01:58.680 there was a debate on it I think was progress you had the three conservatives that were put on there

00:02:05.220 to be part of a coalitional government with conservatives they vote against that it goes to the floor

00:02:11.220 um that is something but the deal at the beginning if those three vote against it it can't come out of

00:02:16.960 rules it doesn't go to the floor that was our control that is a violation the reason as audience

00:02:21.020 we fought all these kind of technical issues is that you have procedural stuff that can block policy

00:02:26.540 stuff beforehand and that rules was like sacrosanct exactly so just for a little bit of wide angle

00:02:32.460 history since 1961 the rules committee has become more and more the speakers committee it has been

00:02:40.380 even to the extent of you know anyone who gets a committee chairman is is playing ball with with

00:02:44.980 the leadership the rules committee was handpicked all of the rules committee members were the most

00:02:50.820 loyal to the elected leadership and to the fact that they were used to say in the in the old days

00:02:56.560 even a year ago that if you give me policy and you give me procedure give me rules committee

00:03:02.340 I'll control what comes out exactly john dingle the longest serving member I think and potentially until

00:03:07.080 young might have passed him but dingle said if I get procedure and you get policy I win every time

00:03:14.160 that's the nature of the rules committee because in this in the senate you have every member has their

00:03:19.900 own procedural authority it's called the ability to filibuster in the house the rules committee sets

00:03:25.800 up its own process for every major bill with one major exception called the suspension calendar but those

00:03:31.700 rules are everything and so we are seeing the most procedurally dishonest rule that I have seen in

00:03:39.740 my time which is an attempt to tell the American people that these are individual votes and then to have

00:03:47.320 individual votes on them and then to merge them back that is totally on dishonest that is allowed by a

00:03:54.500 rules committee that is doing what johnson wants to merge them back because then it goes to the senate as a package

00:03:59.620 and it kind of comports with what the senate does it they they give a quick and dirty it goes right to

00:04:05.040 biden he signs it it's in it's it's a way basically to end run not simply maga but other the conservative

00:04:12.600 nature of the house oh congressman green okay let's i got rust vote he's gonna stick with us

00:04:20.220 congressman green congressman we want to spend right now you walking through the motion to vacate

00:04:26.220 obviously the argument being used against you is that this is not just going to cause further chaos

00:04:32.680 but we're going to risk turning it over to hakeem jeffries now i would argue hakeem jeffries already

00:04:39.040 runs the floor but answer the two arguments walk through your process as best as you can see it now

00:04:45.140 given the fact there are a lot of people saying hey we're going to risk hakeem jeffries being speaker

00:04:50.300 the house that would destroy everything we're working on to get president trump re-elected

00:04:54.960 yeah no i would argue that that what will destroy our our ability to elect a republican controlled house

00:05:03.960 next cycle is for republicans in the house to fail their voters we know republican voters are going to

00:05:10.540 turn out for president trump there is no doubt that is going to happen they are absolutely showing up

00:05:16.580 and checking the box checking the box for donald j trump for president uh in november of 2024

00:05:23.080 what we're really concerned and what people should be terrified of happening is that because of the

00:05:29.220 poor performance and the betrayal of speaker johnson is that after after voters show up and check the box

00:05:35.700 for donald john trump they're going to skip things down ballot and they are specifically going to skip

00:05:42.420 whoever the house rep is there whoever that republican name is because of the failure from

00:05:47.820 the republican majority that's happening in front of them right now this house majority has given

00:05:53.020 voters every single reason to say they cannot trust them to say that we can't trust republicans in the

00:05:59.900 house to do anything right republican majority last time they had it under paul ryan they failed to

00:06:06.420 pass president trump's agenda and now we're watching a republican majority that i i am a member of

00:06:12.540 absolutely betray voters historically uh in a way we've never seen before at least in my lifetime i've

00:06:19.620 never seen this before steve and and it's it's truly terrifying but if i can weigh in i'd like to talk to

00:06:26.800 you about hang on hang on hang on hang on one second right yeah i just want to russ vote just made the

00:06:33.740 comment that this is the most dishonest rule that's ever been passed and the reason is is that they're

00:06:39.420 going through all these perturbations because all they intend to do is merge everything back into the

00:06:44.600 senate bill and get it to biden as quickly as possible is that your is that is that is that your

00:06:49.920 view can you take a second explain that to the audience yes i want to i'm about to say something

00:06:55.680 that's going to be shocking to everyone now how this whole foreign aid package started out it started

00:07:02.620 with a bill hr hr 815 do you see this bill this this was a house uh bill that was passed last year

00:07:12.120 hr 815 yeah uh-huh and i want to tell you what the title of it is this is to make certain improvements

00:07:19.180 relating to the eligibility of veterans to receive reimbursement for emergency treatment furnished

00:07:27.080 through the veterans community care program and for other purposes this started out as a veteran

00:07:32.760 health care bill and we all voted for it i voted for this and and so did other republicans and it passed

00:07:40.340 in the house and then it went to the senate and this is when it completely changed over in the senate the

00:07:47.200 democrats and the senate stripped all the language out of hr 15 and they inserted the senate's foreign

00:07:54.360 aid package the the 61 billion dollars for ukraine all of the things that that we are against happening

00:08:01.060 right now they inserted that language in the bill and they sent it back to the house and that's where it

00:08:07.440 went to the rules committee last night and everything's changed they added the tick tock ban bill but they

00:08:13.280 also added something called the repo act and i want to tell you about the repo act this is extremely

00:08:18.460 dangerous the repo act would make it permanent the biden administration's sanctions on russia

00:08:26.000 completely permanent there's no sunset in the repo act so if president trump is in the white house and

00:08:32.520 he is trying to negotiate peace between ukraine and russia this totally ties his hands behind his back

00:08:39.160 and he's not able to make any sort of deal for a peace agreement with ukraine um again it would

00:08:47.000 in a trump administration it makes the biden administration sanctions permanent with no sunset

00:08:53.200 date and now if president trump tries to work away around this clause in the repo act or tries to

00:08:59.840 try to go around it in any way democrats will use that because past performance is a guarantee of future

00:09:06.840 behavior the democrats could likely use that as some sort of crazy evidence to claim russian collusion

00:09:14.200 again and then here we go again with a possible impeachment that is if democrats were to control the

00:09:20.720 house so there's so much danger that happened uh in this entire scam this is a scam on the american

00:09:28.440 people speaker johnson literally gave chuck schumer and the democrats in the senate full control over

00:09:35.500 passage of this bill that's america lasts like like something we've never seen

00:09:39.680 has that been explained has that been explained to any of the members of the conference understand that

00:09:47.000 what they actually were allowing to come to the floor or is that kind of more of this uh hide the

00:09:51.540 football you know what i i honestly don't know if they even have a clue what's going on so many of

00:09:57.780 them skipped town and and and went home last night uh to whatever they were going home for

00:10:03.380 a lot of them weren't here earlier in the day we when we tried to vote down this this rule and block

00:10:09.620 it and and so i i don't know where they are i don't know what they know i don't know what they don't

00:10:14.600 know but it's it's shocking everyone should know this and and so i'm trying to tell people um other

00:10:21.520 members that do understand it other conservatives are trying to tell people but here we are it's

00:10:26.800 practically too late the rule passed earlier today and now tomorrow we're going to be voting on on the

00:10:33.120 betrayal this is this is the betrayal of the american people and steve it all started out

00:10:39.580 as a veterans a united states veterans health care bill

00:10:44.500 just one more time i want to explain that to people about how they did hide the football or and

00:10:53.000 switched in the dark of night i also want you to take another minute and explain this repo of how

00:10:58.900 this is another way they're trying to handcuff president trump this is uh this is hr 815

00:11:07.360 anyone can look up the original bill online and you can go to congress congress.gov and look it up

00:11:14.100 it originally started out as a veterans health care bill to make certain improvements relating to the

00:11:20.460 eligibility of veterans to receive reimbursement for emergency treatment furnished through the

00:11:26.540 veterans community care program i voted for this i thought it was a great bill republicans voted for

00:11:32.860 it it passed the house earlier last year it went to the senate and this is the this is what the senate used

00:11:40.300 and stripped the language out of hr 15 totally took everything out for veterans completely gone and they

00:11:48.520 filled it with all of the funding and the policy for foreign wars not for america not to defend our

00:11:56.740 country not to do anything for people in lahaina or people in east palestine or to secure our southern border

00:12:03.420 or to help veterans in any way shape or form they filled it with all the funding for the foreign wars

00:12:10.420 sixty one billion dollars for ukraine then they sent it back over to the house and this is where

00:12:16.760 johnson's team and the people here in the house worked together behind closed doors and they worked with the

00:12:23.300 rules committee the democrats on the rules committee to create a new rule and they added in other things

00:12:31.040 like the tiktok ban and they added in something called the repo act the repo act has a dangerous clause in

00:12:38.600 there where it makes the biden administration sanctions on russia permanent with no sunset clause

00:12:45.220 so president trump next administration could not it ties his hands to be able to negotiate a peace

00:12:52.200 resolution between ukraine and russia peace is what the ukrainian people need they don't need more war

00:12:58.400 but this repo act that johnson speaker johnson the republican elected speaker has made sure made sure and he

00:13:07.060 made a deal with democrats to get it done he made sure it passed through the rules committee last

00:13:12.280 night in the dark of night after midnight and he made that deal and we know he made a deal because

00:13:17.340 every democrat on the rules committee voted for it democrats on the rules committee never vote for

00:13:23.800 republican rules that is not done ever and vice versa republicans on the rules committee never vote for

00:13:31.960 democrat rules when the democrats are in charge like they were last congress however this time for the

00:13:38.260 first time in known history the democrats voted for this rule because it had this guarantee in there

00:13:45.200 and now tomorrow they've already passed this rule on the house floor it already passed now tomorrow we have a

00:13:52.040 final vote on this these four separate bills that will be packaged back together as one package and sent back

00:14:01.800 to the senate and it's the most dangerous thing for president trump it's the most dangerous thing uh this

00:14:07.440 could this could fuel world war three because it fuels world wars it it funds 61 billion dollars to ukraine

00:14:14.640 but it does have that nasty uh little poison pill in there that could grow to a monster because we know 0.83

00:14:21.400 democrats past behavior from democrats is a guarantee for future performance and democrats they never come up

00:14:28.980 with any new tricks so we could see this being russia russia russia again uh if president trump is in

00:14:34.880 the white house and tries to actually bring world peace given i realize it's it's it's people are

00:14:41.920 hesitant to vote against rules in the general on the floor and fisa is a perfect example of that but given

00:14:47.680 what they did in the middle of the night given what you've just exposed what they've done about stripping

00:14:53.020 out the veterans and dumping this in given so much of like the repo act that has not been explained to

00:14:58.520 even members of the conference why is your belief that 151 because as you know we've been winning the

00:15:06.560 majority of the majority and using that as a very powerful argument to say hey you're going against the

00:15:11.460 conference why in your mind did the conference almost overwhelmingly vote to allow this fiasco to go

00:15:18.260 forward well let's go back to the the real trick in there steve and i think this is one of the dirtiest

00:15:26.020 tricks at all as a matter of fact i had tweeted it out uh literally before israel was attacked by iran

00:15:33.160 last week and and the trick was this for an entire week everyone in washington dc knew that iran was about

00:15:41.120 to attack israel and they talked about it and talked about it but yet speaker johnson did nothing

00:15:46.680 he literally waited he didn't pack the aid he didn't pass an aid package for israel he held that

00:15:53.300 as a as a really dirty trick in his pocket sort of like an ace you know when you're making a play

00:15:59.660 when you're playing cards he held that ace in his pocket waited for israel to be attacked by iran so

00:16:06.140 that he could pair that ace with the joker ukraine and they put he put those two together to pressure

00:16:12.100 republicans to vote for this you know there's many good people in the republican party there's

00:16:16.860 many christians and they and they feel that they have to um vote no matter what to fund israel with

00:16:22.820 anything they need and of course we support israel they are our ally we never want to see them 0.99

00:16:27.920 attacked we we we stand with israel but it was a real dirty trick to put those two together and so 0.99

00:16:34.300 i think republicans that maybe are against ukraine funding and and that'll show itself tomorrow in the

00:16:40.940 vote as we take those four separate votes um they they voted for the rule because it's commonplace

00:16:48.000 to vote for a rule and allow a bill to go to the floor where if you're against the bill you'll vote no

00:16:53.840 to it but people voted for this rule because they do do you believe with your efforts do you believe

00:17:02.340 that these votes tomorrow that there's any way that you'll be able to vote down or get a majority

00:17:06.840 the majority against like for instance ukraine do you believe there's enough impetus uh in in anti

00:17:13.600 uh ukraine funding because we don't know you know chip roy told us last night which is powerful

00:17:19.500 of the 113 to in your case 129 bayon that's gone only 40 or 50 has gone to the battlefield the rest has

00:17:27.620 gone to zelinski's cronies do you think right now as you see it with 24 hours to go or even less

00:17:33.980 you've got enough arguments on your side to actually vote down the ukraine bill tomorrow

00:17:39.460 in and of itself there's a chance steve because on september 28th 2023 the last time we had a vote

00:17:47.420 uh recorded for funding for ukraine it was for 300 million dollars to ukraine and the majority of

00:17:53.320 the majority voted against it it was 117 republicans voted no one of those 117 was actually mike johnson

00:18:01.020 he voted no to 300 million dollars to ukraine and 101 republicans voted yes so there's a possibility

00:18:09.180 tomorrow on the house floor steve we could see the majority of the majority vote no to the ukraine

00:18:14.980 funding i think that's a good possibility but i think we'll see the the rest i think we'll have a

00:18:20.480 majority voting yes to the other four bills uh that that are there in that package but here's the deal

00:18:26.960 they all get packaged back together so there's no difference it's really an omnibus package just

00:18:33.900 because they're four separate votes to sort of give members the feeling that they're voting their

00:18:39.500 conscience or whatever the reality is the final result is they get packaged all back together and

00:18:46.600 they go back to the senate and what started out as a veterans health care bill it started out that way

00:18:54.780 so i think that to me is is really the biggest actual slap in the face to the greatest americans

00:19:01.740 above us i mean among us and that's our that's our military veterans the very men and women that

00:19:08.320 served our country risked their lives uh maybe have been injured in horrible ways or living with

00:19:14.760 difficult injuries the ones that commit suicide at 22 every single day the the ones that have that

00:19:22.480 protect us and every single night have horrible nightmares that they can never get rid of these

00:19:28.740 people have been betrayed they have been betrayed over and over again but i think steve it's actually

00:19:35.440 it's so beyond me that a bill that started out for veterans health care could turn into a bill that

00:19:41.680 funds the blood and murder of of people in foreign countries and does nothing to actually help our

00:19:48.040 veterans at all congressman green uh we got about five or six minutes i want you to make the case

00:19:55.300 our audience obviously supports what you're doing with uh speaker johnson their big hang-up is the

00:20:03.340 onslaught in media and even conservative media of the dusty johnson school of thought which is you're

00:20:09.080 going to put hakeem jeffries in charge make your case now uh to the war and posse why you've thought

00:20:16.020 this through and that's not going to before you bring this and and gather more co-sponsors that's

00:20:21.680 not going to be a risk you know it's not a risk because we have a republican majority and there is not

00:20:27.780 a single republican here that's going to vote for hakeem jeffries you want to know why they're all up

00:20:33.420 for re-election even if they're retiring they do not want to go out voting for hakeem jeffries

00:20:39.180 i don't think it's going to happen and another thing is is i'm not handling this in an irresponsible

00:20:44.600 manner steve i'm being very careful and i am i i promise you i am measuring this over and over again

00:20:51.880 and and being very diligent with the process i have worked so hard for a majority and i'm working hard

00:20:58.260 to have the majority again next time under president trump uh hopefully as our president in the white

00:21:03.420 house so that we can fix all of these problems but here's the real situation you know we're constantly

00:21:09.580 the republican party who points to all the problems and all the horrible things happening and spends time

00:21:16.000 on television with three minute and five minute sound bites and and five minute committee hearing

00:21:20.800 sound bites and op-eds in in big fancy media companies newspapers and digital apps online you know

00:21:29.160 here we are as republicans that always talk a big game but we never take the action to ever fix

00:21:34.120 anything here we are 34 trillion dollars in debt and that's not going anywhere because we're gaining it

00:21:39.500 at 40 billion dollars every single night our border is invaded no one is shutting it down

00:21:45.240 no one is shutting it down how many more americans are going to die maybe today or tomorrow we have no

00:21:52.440 idea but the dead american bodies are piling up every single day while republicans here in washington dc

00:21:58.340 say oh don't rock the boat we don't want this to be uncomfortable it's too hard for us to find

00:22:04.780 another speaker marjorie i'm sorry that's not a republican party that i want to have anything to do

00:22:09.880 with because that's a republican party that's sitting on the sidelines while our country literally burns 0.98

00:22:15.520 down americans can't afford their afford their groceries they can't afford their bills people are

00:22:21.160 piling up credit card debt and people are going bankrupt and my children's generation my kids who are in

00:22:27.660 their early 20s their generation has no hope for a future to ever be able to afford to ever buy a

00:22:34.160 home that is the reality that we're living in so if republicans want to criticize me and say that this

00:22:40.720 is a really bad idea i think they need to take a hard look at themselves in the mirror and say which

00:22:46.340 kind of person are you going to be at the end of the day when this is all over with were you the one

00:22:51.320 that didn't want to rock the boat or were you the person that actually stepped out and took the

00:22:56.520 actions that were necessary to take no matter how uncomfortable or difficult they are to take

00:23:01.520 them were you a type of person that actually was willing to fight for this country because the very

00:23:06.980 veterans the very veterans that did fight for our country and got screwed over in this process right

00:23:14.240 here are are those are the heroes and so i think that's a real question that we need for our republican

00:23:20.380 party are we a uniparty with the democrats destroying america are we actually a separate party and and you

00:23:27.720 know what i'm proud i am so proud and so happy i sleep so good at night steve i have nothing to worry

00:23:33.200 about i'm not going to be irresponsible and risk throwing our majority to the democrats but we're

00:23:39.320 already controlled by the democrats that's the reality that we're living in hakim jeffries is controlling

00:23:46.080 this chuck schumer is controlling this and the biden administration and white house has full

00:23:51.980 control of our speaker of the house so my question is why would we not try to make a change and get a

00:23:58.880 stronger stronger republican and a speaker of the house and i think our republican controlled majority

00:24:05.040 ought to actually find the courage within themselves to do this because we still have a majority right now

00:24:12.540 last thing before i let you go is uh the the breach of trust given what happened last night

00:24:19.800 in the rules committee is that breach of trust with johnson is irreparable that's why he's saying you must

00:24:25.500 go forward with this yeah this is beyond repair uh mike johnson as a man has already proven that he

00:24:32.860 cannot negotiate as a matter of fact he will not negotiate he gets on the other side and works with

00:24:38.660 the democrats he's on their team there's no way we can trust him going forward to be speaker of the

00:24:44.040 house and walk into those rooms and negotiate anything for republicans nothing he's already

00:24:50.660 proven that he will throw it all away so yes the trust is completely broken what we need now steve is we

00:24:58.980 need co-sponsors to put their name on the motion to vacate to prove that they no longer trust mike johnson

00:25:07.020 as speaker because right now there's three of us there's myself thomas massey and paul gosar but

00:25:13.100 there's more people telling us that hey we we support you you know we're behind this motion to vacate but

00:25:19.100 these two people need to come forward it's time for them to come forward put their name on there as

00:25:24.060 co-sponsors and tell the american people that they're willing to stand up to the republican uniparty

00:25:29.500 establishment that they will no longer go along with this and we need to make sure this is a very careful

00:31:37.380 uh marching taylor green just gave it to with both gave it to us with both barrels right i mean when you

00:31:43.300 see what had to happen behind closed doors and this is why people i think get so frustrated

00:31:48.420 and that you know they're they're at the ramparts they they want to fight but when they see people

00:31:52.740 on their own team doing what we just heard they did rip a vet take a veterans bill because they 0.92

00:31:57.860 had a vehicle rip it out dump all this other stuff in there have the democrats vote for it then bring

00:32:02.900 it to the house and some jam thing and not even explain to him like the the repo act look at birch gold

00:32:08.260 we've been saying the entire time the de-dollarization process it's because they're trying to take frozen

00:32:14.100 russian assets of the russian people sees sees them convert them into dollars given the ukrainians

00:32:19.380 thinking they couldn't pass this bill now you find out they've also trying to hand this is another one

00:32:24.660 of those plots to make sure that if president trump when he's re-elected he's handcuffed to do anything

00:32:30.180 explain that which you just gave to us because i think this is where people get increasingly

00:32:34.420 frustrated when they hear a guy that's like johnson the people have known for years didn't know him

00:32:40.660 well but he's a he's a christian he's one of the leaders in the social christian movement the

00:32:45.940 social movement one of the big right to life guys how can this happen this is infuriating it's like

00:32:51.780 we send these republicans to congress and they lose total touch with with education where the

00:32:58.980 information is let's just let's talk about the repo act for a second so the position of our movement

00:33:03.540 has been don't fund ukraine obviously that was about saving taxpayer money but it was largely a foreign

00:33:09.700 policy question we don't want to participate in endless war so instead of okay and then it

00:33:16.260 developed that repo act was the way to not spend money it was going to be an alternative to the grant

00:33:21.860 i would argue it was a worse alternative it was an act of war yes it would impact our it was worse than

00:33:28.500 us voting to give 60 billion dollars continue this fiasco because here it's actually a direct act of

00:33:35.780 economic war against the russian people in the russian state and with no intermediary this is us

00:33:41.940 action at the highest level against how higher action we took against the nazis in world war ii

00:33:47.620 economic war and or imperial japan so number one it's an act of war number two it totally destabilizes

00:33:55.540 our financial system and our ability to raise debt and be able to fund our government and oh by the way we

00:34:01.860 have some fairly consequential issues coming up with regard to china okay so these these people go

00:34:07.620 into a closed door and say hey i got a bright idea let's let's repossess 300 million dollars and and

00:34:14.500 commit this right and obviously push the global community to do the same and there are much greater

00:34:19.460 billions in in european banks right so third then they come along and they do both they they do the repo act

00:34:29.700 and they do the grant i mean like what do we have to i i would rather take the the most unknowing 0.97

00:34:36.740 ignorant dumb person on the side of the of the road and give them a voting card and say can you do 0.98

00:34:43.380 better but you do better this is you mentioned something the other day that this may be the brexit 1.00

00:34:48.580 moment for the conservative movement the mega move to come together because i keep saying and this was in

00:34:54.820 that book um finish what we started president trump's great phrase you're seeing the beginning

00:35:00.020 of a populist nationalist america first american citizens first party and a globalist elite

00:35:05.060 party part of the connective tissue that's connected us is national security and foreign affairs

00:35:10.820 it's not that america first is isolationist but we do want to put america's parties first

00:35:16.580 is this moment where we're seeing what they would do in the dark of night to basically work together with

00:35:21.540 the globalists is that if we do our job and explain it is this the brexit moment where you actually

00:35:27.540 have a borning something's quite new that these old uh because you've been at this a lot longer than

00:35:33.140 i have that these old labels of republican and democrat kind of become either reinforced with new values

00:35:39.780 or redefined i i think it is and i think what what we've seen in the in the in the aftermath of

00:35:45.780 the rise of the trump is is that establishment members have tried to make them sound of america

00:35:51.220 first they've tried to say i'm very mega i'm very nationalist i i am for america first uh and what

00:35:58.100 of course they are not i call them sporks right you know sporks they they they're a little bit spoon

00:36:04.900 they're a little bit fork but on the on the issues that matter whether that's fisa or push comes to shove

00:36:10.740 on ukraine when it comes to tough key issues about this they are nowhere and they are they're with the

00:36:16.820 establishment and so this is the greatest uh ripping of the band-aid for their ability to get away with

00:36:23.380 it it's going to be ugly uh we have a hard time tomorrow to be able to show the majority of the

00:36:28.340 majority but what you saw yesterday is in fact the democrats run the house from a policy perspective no

00:36:34.900 no doubt in your mind the democrats run the house there's only one area where they don't and it's not

00:36:39.780 inconsequential it's subpoenas it is the oversight process that is still one run by republicans but

00:36:46.500 you have a coalition government with a republican speaker in which the entirety of the policy

00:36:52.020 apparatus has essentially been given over to the democratic party and they republicans have retained

00:36:58.260 the accountability of oversight and subpoenas and so that's what we are up against and we now have

00:37:04.900 that exposed to the american people the second thing i would say is that on this issue of foreign

00:37:09.380 policy these members have have tried to say without ever being shown well all right where are you

00:37:17.300 actually on this issue of ukraine they have tried to say okay i don't think it should be spent wisely

00:37:23.060 or they don't need it yet and what we're seeing now is that these members ultimately believe that this

00:37:30.020 should be an endless war that this there should be no limit to the amount of money that we prop up ukraine 0.52

00:37:36.260 in a war in which look the the the issue is not an accounting perspective you're not going to go

00:37:42.020 into a closed door skiff and say okay is it a hundred billion is it two hundred billion is it a trillion

00:37:48.980 that that number cannot no one has the answer to that number it's unlimited because you have uh you are

00:37:55.060 up against russia which has certain uh interests at stake and this issue is and it's a home court

00:38:02.020 and it's a home court game for it's a home court game and this is not our issue this is not our

00:38:05.860 interest and so they're not going away these issues are not away and here's the thing the military

00:38:11.380 industrial complex doesn't want it to go away it's permanent for their their attack on trump and it's

00:38:17.860 this has been in the after in the at the end of the cold war this is their strategic approach it's why

00:38:23.860 we can't confront china they have to maintain this this theater and this facade of it being a two 1.00

00:38:30.740 front national crisis one europe one china to keep the gravy flowing how do i want to go back to this

00:38:37.540 brexit moment because i know that the war room posse as and it was interesting coming off the high

00:38:43.860 of vegas in the live show today's morning show was the first time i've ever seen a lot of people going

00:38:50.740 man you know to happen in the dead of night to have republicans actually being part of driving this

00:38:58.180 is it worth it right how do these members given what we did in iraq and afghanistan forget vietnam

00:39:05.300 i mean vietnam's bad enough but then iraq and afghanistan the endless 20-year wars the defense

00:39:10.420 contractors driving it how can they justify how can they justify going along with this again and this

00:39:16.900 is exactly what ukraine is i think there is one part continues to be uh strategic ignorance where

00:39:23.700 they literally don't go online they don't get educated they don't listen to podcasts they just

00:39:28.420 read the the the newspapers and i think there's one part and and i i remember this week just listening

00:39:33.940 to mike johnson's uh uh that's pretty embarrassing i mean what like what what year is this are you not

00:39:42.180 paying attention to any of the debate that we've had over the last uh year are are any of your

00:39:48.740 arguments or jd vance's arguments or the john newshimer's measure are the reporting of matt

00:39:53.940 boyle matt boyle's reporting at breitbart the last 48 hours has been shocking about the people around

00:39:59.460 johnson the lobbyists around johnson they're they're they're they're his ability when you say he comes

00:40:04.980 across as naive he's surrounded himself with people that are all part of that kind of lobbying process

00:40:10.980 and complex with the with the military the national security establishment right so you see it i think

00:40:16.340 if you have jd vance you have matt boyle at breitbart you have all this that's out there how can these

00:40:21.220 other members avoid that well this is this they're not going to be able to avoid it on this on this issue

00:40:26.820 right there do you think this is going to explode i do this rule vote because of the active uh participation

00:40:33.940 of this audience so early in the process the fact you know 55 republicans voted against the rule

00:40:40.740 i know it sounds bad it is a big deal that's a big tell because i think people are so shocked that 151

00:40:46.820 voted for it why is the 55 people should say you should say in the process of taking this back

00:40:53.460 that's actually a good thing how can you make that argument because to save our country policy and

00:40:59.780 process votes have to be considered the same thing there are no non-policy process votes you are either

00:41:06.260 furthering my interest or you are hurting my interest one way or the other it's all of life

00:41:11.140 you're saying process here is policy process is policy and so we continue to live in elite in a

00:41:17.060 fiction in the republican party interestingly not the democratic party in which the uh members will say

00:41:23.460 well it's a rule vote it's a process vote and i vote with my leader as a process matter and i vote my

00:41:29.300 conscience or my district on policy votes and as a result that's why we are on the cusp of tyranny because

00:41:35.220 they've you know the establishment the uniparty has driven us into the place that we are

00:41:40.500 and those main leverage points we have lost and even some conservatives you saw this in the fisa

00:41:45.780 debate we're only 19 members many of our our good members didn't get to be a no on the fisa rule well

00:41:52.980 why is that because they're still holding on to this fiction and more of them you're saying the 19th of

00:42:00.100 55 shows you that within a week right how people are waking up to the fact that they and they're not

00:42:04.980 going to be able to hide these policy votes these process votes people are going to deem this always

00:42:09.140 going to deem as a policy vote you're not going to be a high so you're going to vote against the ukraine

00:42:14.740 package but you voted for the rule totally unsustainable is is leadership shocked about the level of

00:42:21.540 detail i mean in vegas yesterday i was amazed at we had 500 people the level of when you and chip are there

00:42:28.820 the level of understanding they have a process now and how you can't hide the football do you

00:42:33.300 think leadership now understands it's tough for them to hide this yeah they've um you know i've

00:42:38.340 gotten anecdotal evidence in terms of the extent to which the audience is in this room when members

00:42:44.900 or johnson or others are getting questions back to them well speaker johnson how come you've pioneered

00:42:52.260 the use of the suspension calendar you know their eyes it's like teletubby time you know like their

00:42:57.380 eyes just go up in terms of the extent to which they're surprised not only that the activists are

00:43:02.020 so educated and honestly this is how our movement has has innovated this notion for years if you're 0.98

00:43:08.340 doing grassroots activism that you needed to dumb it down for the grassroots totally ridiculous your 0.77

00:43:13.700 whether it's your show or the the nature of what you've done here at the at sea or at the center for 0.62

00:43:18.340 renewing america i mean you you what a reason we love partnering with you guys and having you all

00:43:22.900 the time all the great guys is that you do not talk down to this audience you come in with specifics

00:43:28.180 it's complicated but they they they they want that they want to raise up they just don't want to sit

00:43:33.140 there and listen to rnc talking points like on some other channels they want to get to they want to

00:43:37.380 see the receipts because that empowers them to get in people's faces where they can't they can't run

00:43:41.780 and you've done such a great job do you do you buy the argument of where we are on the eve of these

00:43:48.500 votes do you buy the argument of mtg that hey i admit she's saying i've really mitigate the risk

00:43:54.100 because we do have the majority and she's walked out a calendar over the next month how we actually

00:43:57.620 add a few more seats we get to 219 that uh it that johnson has to go that it's either symbolically or

00:44:05.540 necessity that there's a breach of trust here that you'll never be able to mend back given what's

00:44:10.820 happened in the last 24 hours there has been a breach of trust they have laid whether that's

00:44:15.380 marjorie taylor green or other conservatives they've laid the predicate for how bad he has been so when

00:44:20.500 when folks would ask me this you know weeks ago when we start first started talking about it you know

00:44:25.540 i'd have people in my ear saying he hasn't laid the no one's laid the predicate this would be

00:44:29.620 this would be outrageous to pull this on him no one no one can say that we're not right about our our

00:44:36.900 our thesis about the the johnson speakership and this is essentially why mccarthy left mccarthy

00:44:42.980 left because there was a breach of trust that he had lied too many times they pushed the debt ceiling

00:44:48.180 and you're kind of showing that it wasn't personal with mccarthy and it's not it's not really personal

00:44:52.900 here mike johnson is a good man the problem is you have a good man in a situation that's just doing bad

00:44:59.300 things and you can't that that trust after what's happened the last 48 hours 24 hours i don't know

00:45:04.500 how anybody could ever trust him again well you know he right now is being dishonest with regard

00:45:09.780 about the house freedom caucus he's going around and saying that they were unwilling to be to work

00:45:16.260 with him on a rule that could vote oh i didn't hear that and all the stuff i miss it tell me about this

00:45:22.100 and so the argument is coming out he's accused the freedom caucus the reason we're here is that they

00:45:26.740 wouldn't work with him the reason why there's no border security is that he wouldn't work with them to

00:45:30.660 take something less still substantial less than hr2 and it's not what they were unwilling to do was to

00:45:36.180 give a show vote to a performative vote performative vote that was not connected to ukraine and so uh

00:45:41.700 you know you get to the the character of of someone and you got it in the balance you got it maybe i have

00:45:46.900 to hold back on mike johnson good man he's actually making this argument you got you they're making that

00:45:51.140 argument he is making that argument and so again i he is personally making the argument that the only way

00:45:56.900 to fund israel was to do this package with ukraine again that's ridiculous not true totally unsustainable

00:46:02.260 position that the left temporarily has uh and so you know this you got to put this in the balance

00:46:08.020 and i think i think this is a long soul-searching moment for members to make and i still will defer

00:46:13.620 to them in this one given the size of the majority but i would say you know things that were previously

00:46:18.580 outrageous think like a caretaker speakership we it's not we were outraged because we had big fights and

00:46:25.380 leverage points coming down the pike johnson gave all those up there's literally nothing to do

00:46:30.420 between now and the end of the year other than to not the democrats have used him for what they need

00:46:36.020 yes right and it's there there's no other must really must pass votes that's coming up that he he

00:46:43.060 could serve their purposes so you're saying hey let's get a caretaker in there let's get through the

00:46:48.580 election keep the majority and then we'll deal with it figure out what speaker is going to be on the

00:46:53.140 best terms of the america first movie movement and a future president trump when you say a brexit type

00:46:59.620 moment explain to the audience i just want to make sure everybody's clear what do you mean by that as

00:47:04.980 far as because this audience is veterans uh sons of veterans and daughters of veterans parents of of

00:47:13.460 active duty service members this is the most patriotic want to serve america america first when they hear

00:47:19.940 that maybe some of the concepts of reagan's ideas of national security may have been correct in those

00:47:27.860 days may not be correct today that that's kind of a shocking moment so what because there's so many

00:47:32.500 people that's very confusing this national security because people wrap themselves in the flag and say hey

00:47:38.260 you're voting against what president reagan what made us so strong when you say it's a brexit moment for

00:47:42.740 america first what do you mean by that is that the national security paradigms have been co-opted

00:47:49.860 by a defense industrial complex that is makes money and maintains power on the on on war and foreign

00:48:00.180 policy conflict and so instead of allowing our incredible military and our national security community

00:48:07.780 that has won these wars in our nation's past to be able to go and deal aggressively with china if 0.99

00:48:14.100 necessary hopefully not but if necessary and to order our affairs we have to fight wars and skirmishes

00:48:22.740 and waste trillions of dollars and oh by the way it's not when we say the the cost of a war it's not

00:48:30.340 primarily the dollars although that's a lot opportunity cost it's the opportunity cost of

00:48:34.740 wrecked families of of tours of duty where people are endlessly overseas that wrecks our communities

00:48:43.860 and we want an end to that we want to go back to a constitutional republic where we fight where we need

00:48:50.180 to fight and we fight ruthlessly and and to win but we will not allow foreign bureaucrats or david 0.99

00:48:58.500 cameron a former prime minister of uk to tell us what our interests are and until this changes

00:49:05.300 you can expect havoc in the political realm and you saw that as the reason why i wanted to compare

00:49:10.660 to brexit was remember when when boris was getting it through i mean it was come hell or

00:49:16.420 high water argue nigel but boris and nigel come held or high water that movement was going to get 0.59

00:49:21.540 it through yes and when teresa may showed that she was she was given lip service lip service it was

00:49:26.900 it was rocky and i'm she looked at it as a problem to be overcome instead of opportunity to be seized

00:49:32.020 there you go uh center for renewing america in the next 48 hours where do people go for more

00:49:37.060 information you guys have been tremendous it's one of the reasons the grassroots movement now so

00:49:41.220 powerful because now they have a intellectual center then get the cutting edge thinking where do people

00:49:46.420 go america renewing.com we exist as a organization to provide battle plans and messaging framework to

00:49:56.260 you and to those that come to congress and say we are actually here on your behalf and so we never

00:50:02.980 want to be outclassed and we never will when it comes to knowing more than our adversaries we will

00:50:09.700 you will know more than the member of congress that is coming back to you and explaining a vote for

00:50:16.100 why they did something that was against your interest um we've also put out the uh the fifth

00:50:21.860 installment this is about the central bank digital currency it walks you through it's called the end of

00:50:26.260 economic freedom but in comparison contrast in times of turbulence why the central banks throughout

00:50:33.060 the world are buying gold at record rates this whole de-dollarization movement rusted a great job

00:50:37.540 this repo act which is another thing that's tucked in here right it's so complicated nobody's explained

00:50:42.980 it but we're going to have a vote on it tomorrow uh i'll get more into that but make sure you go to

00:50:47.540 birch gold we've done this everything there is free the advice is free you can talk to them about all

00:51:01.700 thank you particularly fight i understand people hey today's been a tough day but we're going to have tough

00:51:06.980 days there is i think some glimmers of hope here particularly i think you're starting to see a

00:51:13.460 irreparable breach of the neocons and they're not going to be able to defend their position we're

00:51:17.940 going to have to take some some tough votes but i think people ought to go to mtg site right now get

00:51:22.740 all the information about from her about being a co-sponsor and then contact your congressmen and

00:51:29.700 have them make the argument of why they are or not going to do it i think we're now at that moment and

00:51:34.260 i agree with russ 100 i think the democrats have used uh speaker johnson now they've got no use for

00:51:40.340 him uh and we need a caretaker in there because you support him so much i want to thank everybody uh

00:52:57.700 powers to track our every move if we say the wrong things on social media donate to the wrong causes

00:53:04.660 buy firearms or even vote maga the government may be able to shut us out of our bank accounts
