Summary
On today's show, we're joined by Rachel Maddow's former White House intern, Natalie Peaden, to discuss the new Republican House Speaker, Mike Johnson, and how the left is trying to delegitimize President Trump.

00:00:00.000
I think we need to be watching for something that they call autocratic breakthrough.
00:00:04.940
Autocratic breakthrough is when the party in power uses the power they do have in government
00:00:10.740
to make sure they can never be dislodged from government.
00:00:17.020
You've already seen in the House of Representatives,
00:00:19.200
now that Mike Johnson is back in as Republican House Speaker,
00:00:22.400
they changed the rules in the House to make it much harder to remove him as Speaker.
00:00:26.680
Okay. By the way, Rachel, if you're going to bring a concept and a construct like autocratic breakthrough,
00:00:40.300
You can't have Polly Pockets change the rules committee.
00:00:48.760
So this is very important, and we're going to hammer down on this.
00:00:54.960
There's no conspiracies, but there's no coincidences.
00:00:57.880
A lot of this, they got a lot more organized on the wash, rinse, repeat, ma'am,
00:01:04.380
after the big conference they had in D.C. last week.
00:01:11.320
Look, I wish Mike Johnson was the type of Republican that Rachel Maddow
00:01:15.140
and the entire left-wing media apparatus demonized him to be,
00:01:18.920
but unfortunately we're stuck with a weak-willed, do-nothing Mike Johnson.
00:01:25.180
and I know sometimes the audience just wants to have the victory party,
00:01:28.240
but like we've always said, you know, I think there's no better microcosm
00:01:31.100
for this whole debate than the case of the Jack Smith indictment
00:01:35.080
and all the January 6th Tanya Chutkin stuff, right?
00:01:37.700
Yeah, sure, for the next four years the lawfare goes away,
00:01:41.400
but they dismissed it in a way that literally the day President Trump leaves office,
00:01:46.140
they could just reinstitute the cases should a Democrat win and take over the DOJ again, right?
00:01:51.480
They've done everything they can to try to turn Trump's victory into a Pyrrhic victory
00:01:54.980
from the personnel front, right, particularly depriving,
00:01:58.880
whether it was Matt Gaetz or just working to subvert.
00:02:01.440
I'm sure they're burning and trashing and shredding documents galore,
00:02:06.920
But this is about a broader thing where I think we can't get lost myopically
00:02:11.280
in the moment right now or even in the next four years,
00:02:15.460
This is about a global battle between populism and this sort of weird neoliberal elitism,
00:02:22.780
which you can't really define, it's a nebulous term,
00:02:25.080
but I would describe them as, for lack of a better word, anti-fascism.
00:02:28.760
And I don't necessarily just mean Antifa as the shock troops,
00:02:31.680
but they just sort of define themselves as an aversion to everything
00:02:37.500
So I just think it's really important to understand
00:02:39.820
that when they present themselves as weak, right,
00:02:42.700
you have Axios, New York Times, all these left-wing media outlets
00:02:48.160
oh, you know, the resistance isn't really shaping up.
00:02:53.620
I would posit that it presents a little bit of a different story,
00:02:57.860
in the sense that they want to appear weak when they're strong.
00:03:03.140
so much of their concept of legitimacy and their anti-Trumpness
00:03:07.580
derives from the idea that Trump has to be woefully unpopular
00:03:14.220
And a key cornerstone to that narrative would be the idea
00:03:22.440
So it's just an odd sort of mutually exclusive theory
00:03:28.820
and we need to, you know, mount all of our defenses.
00:03:30.980
We need to weaponize the Praetorian Guard against him.
00:03:37.540
So I would say watch that narrative evolve very closely.
00:03:41.940
they just had their big funding kind of organizational meeting
00:03:47.700
So they're focused on subverting from the inside for now.
00:03:54.420
of shocking in-your-face moment last week with Xi.
00:04:30.300
Conservatives fighting back against corporate DEI
00:04:35.000
Walmart, the nation's largest private employer,
00:04:39.140
its diversity, equity, and inclusiveness initiatives.
00:04:42.760
It made outcries over so-called corporate wokeism
00:04:45.020
and claims that DEI is more divisive than inclusive.
00:04:52.840
evaluating programs designed to increase supplier diversity,
00:05:21.940
I noticed how that journey took a different direction
00:05:25.400
There's nothing worse than the heads of these corporations.
00:05:40.460
because they were too gutless to stand up to it.
00:05:52.400
and just has been headbanging on these corporations
00:05:59.760
How did you get started and tell me about the victories?
00:06:22.820
So I want to say I'm so happy to see you and hear you.
00:06:30.140
had an issue with this ideology in corporate America.
00:06:32.340
And I saw it as one of the main heads of the beast
00:06:43.740
But to basically make it really simple for people,
00:06:45.440
the old communism was seizing the means of production.
00:06:55.860
I saw how dangerous that Overton window shift was
00:07:03.860
And the conservative typical employee or consumer
00:07:15.680
We've got to use every tool we have at our disposal
00:07:17.700
to frame this differently, shift the Overton window.
00:07:26.240
like Tractor Supply, John Deere, Harley Davidson.
00:07:37.640
because we had to prove I could get these stories
00:07:40.020
out there far enough, wide enough in the marketplace
00:07:45.200
And so we did that with each one of these companies.
00:07:47.380
And Harley was the first one that tried to dig in.
00:07:50.960
because their CEO is a true believer, far-left lunatic.
00:07:54.840
And so they did to the detriment of the company at large.
00:07:58.340
You know Sturgis, biggest biker rally in the world.
00:08:09.500
of the Sturgis event, the Harley Davidson booths.
00:08:15.460
the left would love to say that's conspiracy theory.
00:08:43.020
Tractor supply lost almost three, much smaller company.
00:08:46.200
And you could see that there's real financial impact
00:08:56.980
and have a conversation and negotiate surrender,
00:09:00.300
And these are the things that we were willing to do.
00:09:05.360
the people who I represent want all these things, right?
00:09:11.420
these crazy policies and get to a productive place.
00:09:26.160
to show that there's benefits to dropping wokeness.
00:09:33.360
Because today, the Walmart stock was up over 2%.
00:10:20.420
they didn't care if they lost customers or not.
00:10:29.300
we're going to make the most money for our company.
00:10:31.240
We're going to be the greatest American company
00:10:32.880
in whatever area it was that they covered, right?
00:12:24.080
Companies forgot who walks through their doors.
00:34:41.580
84% of black children are not reading proficient.
00:34:46.500
This was all exacerbated during these lockdowns and
00:34:52.700
And then, oh, by the way, they introduced all of this
00:35:01.640
So every hurricane has happened because school was
00:35:06.500
closed and really they just overrode the system.
00:35:15.500
You know, we were banned in perpetuity for, I don't
00:35:20.020
If they weren't banned as for us demanding that the
00:35:22.860
election had been stolen and that we had to set things
00:35:25.140
right, they were banning us because of our fights with
00:35:28.640
Did this woman kind of took Fauci's side on the
00:35:37.280
We're banned on YouTube as well, though I do predict
00:35:43.880
Metaphorically, I think that's a cornerstone of
00:35:49.620
But, you know, to extend it even further, you're not
00:35:51.520
just talking about someone who has a horrific track record
00:35:57.460
perspective, put herself out on the front lines like we did
00:36:01.640
And someone who I believe said that Anthony Fauci is great.
00:36:04.420
That's not two adjectives that I would particularly put
00:36:08.540
This is someone who I think most concerningly has defended
00:36:12.380
the type of disinformation and censorship programs that have
00:36:16.300
really been sort of the bedrock as to how they've been able
00:36:19.440
to come after shows like War Room, alternative media
00:36:22.480
platforms, and saying that anyone who dares to, you know,
00:36:25.380
say what Jackie just said, that they're crazy, deranged
00:36:28.840
And look, my baseline, and maybe I'm a little out there
00:36:32.300
as, you know, Slate and The New Yorker have alleged or alluded
00:36:37.660
Anybody who wants to have a position in the federal government
00:36:40.960
for any entity related to public health and vaccines should
00:36:45.000
have publicly stood in the breach and come out speaking
00:36:49.020
And if they were working at a company, they should have led the
00:36:51.800
internal crusade and or been public about their efforts to say,
00:36:59.160
I mean, Steve Cortez quit Newsmax over that, I believe.
00:37:06.060
President Trump faces, what, 700 years of lawfare.
00:37:08.760
If someone didn't have the nerve or the balls to stand and hold the
00:37:12.760
line on COVID vaccines and defending innocent children from getting
00:37:16.920
mandated vaccines, then they have no place or no position in
00:37:20.380
President Trump's cabinet for anything health and human services
00:37:25.680
So, Jackie, President Trump's made some amazing picks.
00:37:29.600
Bobby Kennedy, and I don't know how this got past Bobby Kennedy,
00:37:32.480
if, you know, if what Megyn Kelly and Julie Kelly and Natalie and
00:37:36.880
you and everybody's saying, which looks like they're all facts.
00:37:48.600
I'm rooting for him, as I say, throughout the article.
00:37:51.540
And I think every mother that takes issue with this, from Megyn Kelly to
00:37:55.420
Julie Kelly, is also rooting for President Trump.
00:38:06.200
And we do not want to see that happen, especially since he has made
00:38:09.840
tremendous gains with the moms, specifically in New York City.
00:38:20.980
And something else, to Natalie's point, you know, one of the things that drew moms to Trump
00:38:28.900
Both of those things are all we pay attention to.
00:38:35.660
This woman is now going to be the face of both of those things.
00:38:42.060
And one other thing, President Trump has attempted to right these wrongs.
00:38:52.660
Jackie, where do people go to get your Substack and all your writings and where they get you
00:39:06.380
And you can go to my Instagram, which is Jacqueline for NYC.
00:39:23.700
Why do you think you know the inner workings of the transition?
00:39:26.700
You're one of the you're down at Real America's Voice at West Palm Beach.
00:39:31.760
You're going out afterwards and having drinks and dinners with all the swells down there.
00:39:36.920
How did this particularly about Jackie's point about education and health and the issue about
00:39:43.240
And I got to add, Bobby Kennedy is nominated to head up HHS.
00:39:50.440
I assume that they ran the Surgeon General by him.
00:39:59.080
President Trump, there had to be a logic of why she was selected.
00:40:02.480
He's a he's a very he really thinks these things through.
00:40:10.540
Well, first of all, no drinks with the people down here.
00:40:15.500
But look, overall, I think the HHS slate, the vaccine stuff has been absolutely stellar.
00:40:23.380
I mean, a world in which RFK Jr. has actually been nominated.
00:40:27.620
And from what I've heard from my friends who work on the transition or just the general
00:40:31.200
Politico types, that Sergio Gore, who this audience knows very well, really has been
00:40:35.620
doing a wonderful job of balancing all of the sort of interests that represent the new
00:40:42.220
You know, but I think to be, as you would say, brutally frank, you know, one of the reasons
00:40:46.580
that we did win was because we had such a big kind of umbrella party and we welcomed
00:40:55.360
But, you know, it sort of raises the question that, well, you know, do you begin to dilute
00:40:58.760
your movement if you sort of broaden it out too much?
00:41:01.620
And I'm not saying that this one appointment is an example of that, but I think there are
00:41:05.020
a lot of cooks in the kitchen when it comes to pushing certain appointments.
00:41:09.100
But I also think, too, just speaking anecdotally from my personal opinion, obviously, President
00:41:14.760
Trump has an affinity for selecting people who are, you know, on Fox, have that media
00:41:19.940
And she does seem like a logical pick if you're picking from a realm of, you know, TV personalities
00:41:24.360
who have sort of been around, you know, HHS world.
00:41:27.520
But also, too, I mean, this audience is no stranger to the influence that, you know, the
00:41:34.340
Since COVID, they've, like, increased their lobbying expenditures by, like, hundreds of
00:41:38.160
percentile increases exponentially, if not logarithmically, every year.
00:41:42.500
So it's probably a convergence of all those interests.
00:41:45.020
But I do think her confirmation hearings will be very, very interesting because I think you'll
00:41:50.200
probably see some Republicans defect, especially like a Ron Johnson type when it comes to their
00:41:56.300
vaccine, you know, hesitancy issues or stuff like that.
00:41:59.180
But I think you're going to see, most interestingly from her confirmation process, the big pharma
00:42:04.300
buy-off and complicity of the Democratic Party on full display because she'll probably be one
00:42:10.800
of the few nominees that gets overwhelmingly complete Democrat support.
00:42:17.340
Natalie, social media, where do people get you?
00:42:20.560
And talk about your side hustle for a minute, your entrepreneurial activity.
00:42:26.260
Well, my entrepreneurial activity is retribution.
00:42:42.340
Winters on all platforms and you can get the clothing.
00:42:52.460
Almost as good of a deal as Zelensky's getting.
00:42:57.580
You got to get the America First Golf and Country Club t-shirt.
00:43:15.180
Make sure, I want to make sure that everybody gets a chance to get the book,
00:43:22.780
You got all the people, all the personalities from the War Room are in here for the first
00:43:31.020
If you got somebody that loves the War Room and loves the show, this is the best gift
00:43:35.400
We got some great merch up on a merchandising site, which is all terrific.
00:43:40.180
But this really gives you, I think, a great snapshot of the spirit of the show from the
00:43:46.120
personalities, all the contributors and a lot of the sponsors, the staff, you know, Natalie
00:43:52.380
and the whole team, the on-air personalities, the back of the camera personalities is pretty
00:43:58.760
Dan Fluitt, who is my producer, has been my producers, and we're about to make a big
00:44:06.140
He's kind of both the creative and the line producer that makes sure actually a movie can
00:44:13.860
This is one of the reasons our films always look so great.
00:44:16.980
Dan, the still photography is something he's picked up over the last couple of years, and
00:44:20.420
I think he's one of the best in the country, and I don't say that lightly.
00:44:24.500
I'm always highly not critical of Dan's work, but I make sure that I try to set very high
00:44:29.920
He's actually blown me away and everybody associated with Sky Horse and War Room Books.
00:44:37.420
Mike Lindell, I tell you, we're coming to Thanksgiving.
00:44:40.560
We've got so much to be for gratitude and thanks.
00:44:43.480
We're going to have a really special Thanksgiving Day special.
00:44:47.600
You're going to join us back on Friday for the Black Friday special, where we always walk
00:44:51.520
through the issues of the day with our entrepreneurs, all the entrepreneurs that have the saying of
00:45:06.360
You've been very close to the Tina Peter situation.
00:45:08.600
As we come up to Thanksgiving, give me your thoughts on what the nation should be grateful
00:45:16.260
Well, there's a lot to be grateful for, but I'm going to tell you what they're doing to
00:45:23.160
As you know, Keith Ellison has attacked our Lindell Recovery Network and my foundation.
00:45:29.340
This has been going on for about three, four months.
00:45:38.220
So this is like a thank you from this leaving administration.
00:45:42.120
As if they don't, Steve, they don't want me digging into our election platforms.
00:45:47.260
But, you know, presidents, our real presidents, and now let's keep attacking Mike Lindell,
00:45:53.200
my pillow, so he quits talking about our elections.
00:45:57.560
I will never stop, no matter what they do, to get our elections secure.
00:46:04.020
It should be a lot easier now with our great real president.
00:46:07.800
Okay, not only do we have an IRS audit, they've come in, the CIA or the FBI shut him down.
00:46:26.380
Folks don't understand that, and this is about President Trump.
00:46:29.960
Starting back in those dark days in 2021 when President Trump went back to Mar-a-Lago,
00:46:38.440
And what they do, they shut down your bank accounts, they took your credit cards,
00:46:42.880
the jackboots of the FBI came by and saw people.
00:46:48.380
They took all powers of the state and went after people.
00:46:53.380
The IRS is just dropping by and saying that you're not paying your taxes.
00:46:55.480
You think they're going after my electric, I think.
00:47:11.860
I said, is this another hit job on my pillow and Mike Lindell?
00:47:18.660
We're going to fight everything that they're doing.
00:47:21.600
I told my attorneys, I'm not going to let this slow me down.
00:47:27.140
When you lose tens of millions of dollars the last few years on the attacks and what have
00:47:32.960
poured into the country, there's nothing left for them to take, Steve.
00:47:39.340
And it really is disgusting that they're going after these employees in my pillow that have
00:47:46.180
But I still want to give thanks where God's put us.
00:47:49.260
I give glory to God of what he's got us this far and protected our country and protected
00:47:55.540
I still, when we get through this, I'm going to look back and go, you know what?
00:48:00.980
I was, I'm never, everything that happened, even the bad things were meant to be and to
00:48:08.040
I've been down this road before with my pillow under attack and it's just, just put it on
00:48:16.020
I want to thank the War Room Posse for what they've done for us, keeping my pillow in business
00:48:23.540
No company has been attacked more than my pillow in the history of the world.
00:48:29.620
But the War Room Posse was there for us in this last year, times when we need it the most.
00:48:35.960
We have thousands of products now, thousands of SKUs, and we want to give thanks.
00:48:42.780
I figure the best way we could do that with the promo code War Room was give free shipping.
00:48:47.280
That's what's hit the economy the hardest, the shipping charges, price of groceries, everything
00:48:52.820
So we're giving thanks to all of the War Room Posse with free shipping from my pillow.
00:49:05.100
They were there, and they've always been there for us.
00:49:07.840
And we've been there for them and for your show, getting our voice out.
00:49:11.680
I think we all need to give thanks for our voice getting bigger.
00:49:19.640
All these positive things that are going to be happening.
00:49:23.560
And God's given us grace for such a time as this.
00:49:31.140
And we've got, this is the time where there's so much to give thanks for.
00:49:35.460
But I want to give everybody up at the War Room Posse, that promo code War Room.
00:49:50.020
I believe it's upwards of $85 million by the end of this month.
00:50:00.220
They're the most amazing sleep tool in history.
00:50:04.500
There's all your Christmas gifts right there, everybody.
00:50:09.360
Go to the website, and you can go down to see Steve.
00:50:15.440
Click on him there like you've all done many times over.
00:50:18.780
And you guys, I made a mistake yesterday, or two days ago, and I said the blankets were on sale for $29.98.
00:50:25.820
We're going to leave them on sale for that, as low as $29.98.
00:50:45.580
