00:00:00.000 At the outset of your administration, sir, you committed to ending the weaponization
00:00:13.400 of government, to holding those accountable who participated in the weaponization of government.
00:00:17.660 Hold it.
00:00:18.640 This is a good one.
00:00:19.580 Is everybody listening?
00:00:22.000 Deranged Jack Smith.
00:00:24.020 We're going to call it the deranged Jack Smith signing for Bill.
00:00:28.720 Go ahead.
00:00:29.020 One law firm that provided pro bono legal services to the special counsel's office under
00:00:33.900 Jack Smith's leadership was Covington & Burling.
00:00:36.740 As a result of those actions, we're now going to be suspending and putting under review the
00:00:42.320 security clearances for the attorneys and employees at that firm who worked with Jack Smith's
00:00:47.700 team.
00:00:48.420 And we're going to continue holding the people who were responsible for the weaponization
00:00:52.380 of government, who supported it, accountable for what they did.
00:00:55.440 And you'll be doing this with other firms as time goes by, right?
00:00:58.420 We're looking at sort of the whole panoply of options.
00:01:02.300 The weaponization of our system by law firms, even pro bono work they're doing just in order
00:01:09.060 to clog up government, stop government.
00:01:11.340 And nobody knows about it more than me.
00:01:14.840 And hopefully that'll never happen again.
00:01:17.520 So that Covington & Burlington?
00:01:19.440 Covington & Burlington, okay.
00:01:21.980 Mr. President, may I ask you a question about Europe?
00:01:27.100 So long-term, do you plan to maintain the number of U.S. troops stations?
00:01:32.340 I just want to savor this one, please.
00:01:34.500 Who would like this pen?
00:01:36.760 I'll take it.
00:01:37.060 Hey, why don't you send it to Jack Smith?
00:01:41.340 A deranged person.
00:01:46.100 Boom.
00:01:46.540 Tuesday, 25 February, Year of the Lord, 2025.
00:01:51.820 Wow.
00:01:55.860 Covington & Burley, one of the most prominent law firms in a city that's run by law firms.
00:02:01.960 Eric Holder's law firm.
00:02:04.980 Julie Kelly joins me.
00:02:06.480 Julie, one thing I didn't know until today, I didn't know that Covington, I knew they were
00:02:11.980 using outside law firms for help and assistance, I didn't realize they were doing it pro bono.
00:02:18.940 That's stunning.
00:02:20.220 President Trump drops a hammer, strips the security clearance.
00:02:22.960 Tell me how big a deal this is, ma'am.
00:02:25.600 Well, I believe it was Politico who broke the story that Jack Smith had received $140,000
00:02:30.880 in pro bono work from a law firm that has now been identified as Covington & Burling,
00:02:36.920 to your point, a very influential law firm in Washington, D.C.,
00:02:41.320 based there.
00:02:42.860 Some of the notable names people might be familiar with, Eric Holder, Dana Remus,
00:02:50.220 who was Joe Biden's general counsel for, I believe, the first two years of his administration,
00:02:57.200 Victoria Newland, Lanny Brewer, the old Clinton guy, Lanny Brewer.
00:03:03.540 So this is stacked with Democratic operatives.
00:03:05.960 The president today signing that executive order.
00:03:08.260 I haven't read it, but just based on his comments, stripping the security clearance of all of the employees
00:03:15.240 that appears to be associated with that firm, but also hinting that he's not dumb,
00:03:21.920 that other law firms who assisted in the lawfare against him could face the same fate.
00:03:28.180 Why is this shocking?
00:03:33.760 It shows you President Trump is prepared to knock down barriers, guardrails, whatever,
00:03:39.000 because the law firms run this town.
00:03:40.820 And they go back and forth between government work and go back to the law firm,
00:03:46.200 but the law firms run, the law firms are many times the lobbyist firms,
00:03:51.720 but even if they're not, they run the lobbyist firms.
00:03:54.400 They are the most powerful institutions in this city are the big law firms.
00:03:59.440 Why is this so breathtaking, what he did?
00:04:03.440 Well, I mean, it's definitely a shot across the bow, not just to Special Counsel Jack Smith,
00:04:09.060 who is under investigation by the Department of Justice.
00:04:12.000 Of course, Pam Bondi announcing that on her first day related to her weaponization working group
00:04:18.280 under the president's executive order.
00:04:21.100 So that is forthcoming, but also to your point, because the law firms do run the city,
00:04:26.880 and look at what they're doing now, filing lawsuit after lawsuit against the president
00:04:31.800 and the White House for changes that he wants to make to the federal government.
00:04:36.720 So they are still continuing the lawfare.
00:04:39.360 They're just on the other side of it now.
00:04:41.440 And hopefully those law firms will be under review as well.
00:04:45.580 I hope their next step is what he does, is take and ban them all from government contracts. 0.83
00:04:54.500 I mean, that's what I would like to see.
00:04:56.200 We've got a bunch of else, a punch list to go through.
00:04:58.480 The situation of Special Counsel, why did the Supreme Court not take this up on its emergency docket, ma'am?
00:05:07.560 Right.
00:05:08.020 So this is one issue that we've been covering.
00:05:10.460 Hampton Dellinger, who is the Biden family friend, worked at Boyce Schiller,
00:05:14.640 speaking of law firms, with Hunter Biden during the Burisma scandal.
00:05:19.440 He was appointed by Joe Biden to head of the Office of Special Counsel.
00:05:24.640 And in that position, you wield great authority.
00:05:27.960 He has 129 employees in his office.
00:05:31.160 And he can make, he oversees basically four major statutes overseeing federal employment.
00:05:37.760 And he can make recommendations for another separate board to look into what his investigations and meet out consequences.
00:05:47.760 So he was fired, Hampton Dellinger. 0.97
00:05:50.520 He was fired by Donald Trump on February 7th.
00:05:53.640 He filed a lawsuit a few days later, again with the help of these law firms in Washington, seeking to be reinstated.
00:06:00.720 Judge Amy Berman Jackson, one of our favorite Obama judges, a well-known Trump hater on the bench, issued a temporary restraining order,
00:06:12.060 reversing his firing, saying it did not meet the standards, had to have some sort of reason to fire him, and reinstated him.
00:06:20.340 And this temporary restraining order is set to expire tomorrow, on Wednesday.
00:06:26.820 But the president and the White House sought emergency intervention at the Supreme Court to put an end to her stay, to her temporary restraining order.
00:06:37.340 On Friday, last Friday, Steve, the Supreme Court refused to become involved and said, oh, we'll just wait and see what happens after this temporary restraining order expires on Wednesday,
00:06:49.940 to see if the judge will consider a preliminary injunction that could put them there indefinitely.
00:06:55.560 Well, guess what happened on the very same day the Supreme Court weaseled out of taking a stand, especially on something that's such a no-brainer.
00:07:04.000 This is a presidential appointment under the executive branch, and he, of course, has authority to fire this individual who has longtime ties to Joe Biden and his family.
00:07:17.100 The very same day the Supreme Court refuses to step in, Hampton Dellinger sends a complaint to the board above him that handles his investigation.
00:07:28.340 It's called the Merit Systems Protection Board, also all three Biden appointees, by the way.
00:07:35.180 And a side note, the chairwoman who was appointed by Joe Biden, she also was dismissed by President Trump.
00:07:41.380 She filed a lawsuit to be reinstated and was reinstated by Judge Rudy Contreras, friend of Peter Strzok.
00:07:48.640 This is how dirty Washington, D.C. is, as you know, Steve, better than anyone.
00:07:53.140 So she is still the chairman of the three-member board that is taking these referrals, investigations, complaints by Hampton Dellinger.
00:08:03.080 And what he did on Friday is send the board complaints by six federal employees who were dismissed under the president's executive, the Doge order,
00:08:13.100 that were removing people from the payroll, federal payroll, who were on probationary status.
00:08:19.840 So these are government employees who have been on the federal payroll for one to two years, depending on the agency, before their civil service protections kick in.
00:08:31.140 So the president, of course, is cutting back the federal workforce, dismissed everyone on probationary status.
00:08:37.340 I think there were 150,000, Steve, in one report, that 150,000 probationary employees that had just been hired in the past year or so.
00:08:46.920 And here's Hampton Dellinger, only there because of Amy Berman Jackson and the cowardice of the Supreme Court,
00:08:54.480 now sending investigations to this three-member board, seeking to reinstate employees who have been fired by the president of the United States.
00:09:04.360 Here's what's concerning to me.
00:09:10.760 This is very much, and John Heilman kind of blurted this out the other day on MSNBC.
00:09:17.300 They were talking, he says, hey, look, the courts, he said the courts bailed us out essentially in the 2020 election,
00:09:22.820 and we've got to look to the courts to bail us out now.
00:09:25.900 What I find shocking, this is the first time the Supreme Court was approached to put some of the emergency docket,
00:09:34.080 and they didn't take it up.
00:09:36.220 That does not bode well if that is, and I think that caught a number of people, I know, by shock,
00:09:41.400 because I thought this was kind of a no-brainer for them to take up.
00:09:44.320 Your thoughts, if this is the trend, and I've said, hey, I don't see the Supreme Court wanting to get involved in this.
00:09:51.100 I just don't.
00:09:52.400 They've had a terrible track record, I think.
00:09:56.280 Right, we're sort of back to 2020 where they punted and they didn't want to take up these difficult issues,
00:10:01.360 but this really wasn't an easy one.
00:10:03.620 I mean, you have a Biden appointee, political appointee in an office, a powerful one that can make personnel decisions,
00:10:11.920 especially targeting the White House, which, Steve, you saw during the first Trump administration.
00:10:16.180 There was one Hatch Act violation or investigation after another.
00:10:21.100 This is something that this Office of Special Counsel has purview of.
00:10:25.380 So it's not an inconsequential office, but then the Supreme Court sends a message to the other judges.
00:10:32.520 We are not going to step in.
00:10:34.460 So what happened today?
00:10:35.500 You had another Biden appointed judge in his temporary restraining order demand that the Trump administration dole out billions of dollars in foreign assistance
00:10:46.900 because he claimed that the plaintiffs who sued the Trump administration are suffering harm from that.
00:10:55.420 So it's not even that he just entered a temporary restraining order on behalf of the plaintiffs preventing the president.
00:11:02.140 He's now forcing them to send checks, disperse federal funds, over the head of the president, over the order of the president,
00:11:11.780 to all these foreign aid grantees, forcing them to do that by tonight at midnight,
00:11:17.280 or he will consider contempt of court charges against whom?
00:11:22.520 The Secretary of State?
00:11:24.120 The Department of Justice?
00:11:25.660 President Trump?
00:11:26.500 This is how out of control these judges are, which you and I have covered for years, of course,
00:11:32.000 and you've been subjected to this yourself.
00:11:34.620 But now, because the Supreme Court has been so cowardly in confronting their own federal colleagues on the bench,
00:11:46.080 they are just running amok.
00:11:48.280 Well, anything else on this?
00:11:52.980 Like I said, at first, they weren't getting many wins at the first level,
00:11:57.460 but with the Supreme Court not stepping in here,
00:12:00.220 and you should assume, particularly as they file in these radical urban areas like New York and Philadelphia,
00:12:07.260 and particularly the Washington, D.C.,
00:12:09.680 you know, you're just not seeing the Supreme Court stepping in here.
00:12:13.580 Any other observations on the legal aspects of President Trump's restructuring in the doge work?
00:12:21.320 Well, obviously, the doge, you know, access to data has been limited in some instances
00:12:28.240 and prohibited in others because, and this is what you and I have talked about,
00:12:34.220 the big one when it comes to Elon Musk,
00:12:36.140 and it appears that today the White House just identified the individual who is the administrator of doge,
00:12:44.220 this department, not Elon Musk.
00:12:46.520 But as we've talked about, Judge Tanya Chutkin,
00:12:49.820 who presided over a Jack Smith J6 indictment against the president,
00:12:54.340 appears to be setting up a court battle to disqualify Elon Musk
00:13:00.880 under the Appointments Clause of the Constitution,
00:13:04.380 saying he's a principal officer, he's acting in that capacity,
00:13:08.780 he needed to be appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
00:13:13.320 So, of course, Elon Musk and doge, 1.00
00:13:15.320 a lot of arrows being slinged at them at different directions.
00:13:19.200 I assume at some point this also will go to the Supreme Court.
00:13:22.620 But in the more immediate term,
00:13:24.280 Steve, I'll be watching to see what Amy Berman Jackson does tomorrow
00:13:28.100 with this temporary restraining order expiring tomorrow
00:13:31.580 against keeping Hampton-Bellinger in his job.
00:13:34.980 If she does turn that into a preliminary injunction or orders another hearing on that,
00:13:40.980 we may see another appeal by the Trump White House and DOJ
00:13:46.080 back to the Supreme Court asking for immediate intervention.
00:13:49.900 And then we'll see what the court does.
00:13:51.720 But there were two dissents, Justices Gorsuch and Alito,
00:13:55.960 who did want to vacate that temporary restraining order,
00:13:59.580 making very clear that this was, you know,
00:14:02.140 an article to presidential authority to fire Hampton-Bellinger
00:14:06.540 and Justice Roberts saying,
00:14:08.600 no, let's wait a few more days and see what happens.
00:14:12.320 Well, now we saw what happened.
00:14:13.560 By the way, let's do a split screen right now.
00:14:20.140 They're voting on the House.
00:14:21.280 The House did get up at about 6.15, oh, 6.20.
00:14:25.760 They are voting on this budget resolution.
00:14:28.700 Eric Tietzel from Center for Renewing America is going to join us in a moment.
00:14:33.760 A couple more things for you, Julie.
00:14:36.940 Dan Bongino, a firestorm.
00:14:39.660 The appointment of Dan Bongino is now making Cash Patel look like Judge Webster.
00:14:45.460 The left is completely melting down on Dan Bongino.
00:14:49.760 Your thoughts as Dan as Deputy Director of the FBI
00:14:52.600 and teamed up with the Cash Patel.
00:14:55.820 I have a piece up on my substack about the Dream Team,
00:14:59.620 and they really are.
00:15:01.460 But more importantly, the media meltdown and Democratic lawmakers
00:15:04.780 like Adam Schiff, of course,
00:15:06.560 who has to suspect what is coming his way,
00:15:10.800 just, you know, they're terrified, and they really should be.
00:15:15.220 I was surprised to see the announcement
00:15:19.340 that Dan had been appointed as Deputy Director of the FBI,
00:15:24.940 but, of course, pleasantly so.
00:15:26.520 We'll all miss his show.
00:15:28.980 You know, he has a very powerful voice,
00:15:31.300 but he's making a huge sacrifice to take on this job,
00:15:35.760 and it is going to be massive.
00:15:37.780 They have a very long list of scandals
00:15:40.000 that they need to expose.
00:15:42.800 It looks like they're already getting to work today.
00:15:45.540 I've seen reporting on investigation into Jim Comey
00:15:48.680 running the so-called honeypot scheme
00:15:50.880 into President Trump's 2016 campaign
00:15:54.240 that's been, I believe, disclosed by whistleblowers.
00:15:57.820 So there's a lot more coming.
00:16:01.340 And I do think, and Steve, you and I talked about this,
00:16:03.680 that purge is contagious,
00:16:05.420 and you do see Congress now
00:16:07.120 and even senators stepping up,
00:16:10.180 demanding documents and demanding records
00:16:13.180 and planning hearings and investigations
00:16:15.820 on their own into these very same topics.
00:16:19.920 So this is going,
00:16:20.940 it appears to be a collaborative effort
00:16:22.720 between the FBI, the DOJ,
00:16:26.600 under Pambandi, and Congress
00:16:28.420 to really expose all of these scandals,
00:16:32.000 hold people accountable,
00:16:33.760 and get rid of these bad apples,
00:16:35.320 whether they're fired
00:16:36.260 or some of them hopefully end up behind bars.
00:16:42.420 The shocking thing about this,
00:16:45.120 this is how much President Trump wants
00:16:46.520 a restructuring and reform and investigation
00:16:48.880 into the FBI is that traditionally,
00:16:50.360 I think, for the 116-year history,
00:16:52.580 over the 100-year history of the FBI,
00:16:54.360 the deputy has always been an agent
00:16:57.240 who knows the building
00:16:58.520 and knows how to manage the building.
00:17:00.420 President Trump, with both Cash and Dan,
00:17:02.320 are saying, hey, I don't care about the building.
00:17:04.860 What I care about is some reform over there
00:17:07.180 and get this thing sorted.
00:17:08.380 And so the message, I think,
00:17:09.420 has been sent loud and clear,
00:17:10.460 and you've got two of the toughest hombres I know,
00:17:14.120 Bongino and Cash Patel, over there.
00:17:16.440 Julie, let's play it. 0.96
00:17:17.120 We've got a quick hold open here,
00:17:18.720 a quick clip I want to play
00:17:20.400 before I bring you back on J6.
00:17:22.080 Let's go ahead and play it.
00:17:23.340 The Justice Department is under attack.
00:17:25.940 They're coming after the people 0.99
00:17:27.900 that want to uphold the law as it exists.
00:17:31.880 And that should be terrifying to everyone.
00:17:35.400 Sarah Levine and Sean Brennan
00:17:37.680 were federal prosecutors
00:17:39.380 on the Justice Department's biggest investigation,
00:17:42.680 the attack on the Capitol,
00:17:44.800 until they were fired
00:17:46.540 by the Trump administration January 31st.
00:17:50.520 Why were you fired?
00:17:52.680 Because I did my job.
00:17:54.320 I mean, it's really that simple.
00:17:56.120 I went in, I followed the facts,
00:17:59.300 I followed the law,
00:18:00.660 and I got fired
00:18:01.520 because I did exactly what I was supposed to do.
00:18:04.840 I think we know what we did was right.
00:18:06.780 No regrets.
00:18:07.820 Absolutely none.
00:18:08.580 What we did was justice.
00:18:12.780 Justice for 140 police officers.
00:18:18.040 Wounded January 6th, 2021.
00:18:22.420 Levine and Brennan were hired
00:18:24.480 about a year and a half ago
00:18:26.180 to prosecute cases from the riot.
00:18:29.360 And in how many of your cases
00:18:31.160 was the defendant acquitted?
00:18:32.900 None.
00:18:34.020 None.
00:18:35.480 Which tells you what?
00:18:36.640 The evidence was overwhelming.
00:18:40.940 Overwhelming, but last month,
00:18:43.600 the president pardoned
00:18:44.960 even the most violent convicts,
00:18:47.600 whom he calls by another name.
00:18:49.980 So this is January 6th,
00:18:52.520 and these are the hostages.
00:18:54.840 Approximately 1,500 for a pardon.
00:18:57.740 Not long after the ink was dry,
00:19:00.580 letters of termination
00:19:01.700 hit the Justice Department.
00:19:04.000 The letters rewrote history,
00:19:07.300 calling the prosecution itself,
00:19:09.820 in the words of the president,
00:19:11.700 a grave national injustice.
00:19:14.160 Anyone who has watched videos
00:19:18.200 of what happened on January 6th
00:19:20.160 knows that the grave national injustice
00:19:25.840 was not the decision to prosecute
00:19:27.900 the rioters.
00:19:29.660 The grave national injustice
00:19:30.860 has been the Department of Justice
00:19:32.680 turning its back
00:19:34.000 on those law enforcement officers,
00:19:35.780 those members of Congress,
00:19:36.740 and all of those victims
00:19:38.160 who were affected.
00:19:41.920 The hunters now become
00:19:43.920 the hunted.
00:19:44.860 Julie Kelly,
00:19:46.140 60 Minutes,
00:19:47.400 the week after they have
00:19:48.660 the German authorities
00:19:50.780 that want to arrest people
00:19:52.420 for bad thoughts,
00:19:54.320 now we have this.
00:19:55.540 You've been closer to this
00:19:57.080 than anybody,
00:19:57.620 your observations of this, ma'am.
00:19:59.080 So, just so people know,
00:20:01.180 I did clip those interviews
00:20:03.760 from 60 Minutes.
00:20:04.960 They're available on my
00:20:06.040 AskJulie underscore Kelly, too.
00:20:08.840 And I think the last time
00:20:09.760 I checked that clip
00:20:10.720 had 1.5 million views,
00:20:13.200 which is great,
00:20:14.240 because I want these
00:20:16.460 J6 prosecutors exposed.
00:20:19.420 I want people to hear
00:20:20.700 how easily they lied.
00:20:23.120 Those two prosecutors
00:20:24.800 were not fired
00:20:25.980 because they did their job,
00:20:27.480 as Sarah Levine said,
00:20:29.080 or followed the rule of law.
00:20:30.760 They were brought on
00:20:32.040 as temporary hires
00:20:33.880 to handle
00:20:35.600 this massive caseload.
00:20:38.120 You know, at the end,
00:20:38.980 almost 1,600 defendants.
00:20:41.480 They were brought on
00:20:42.520 temporarily.
00:20:43.800 What happened,
00:20:44.900 and what the DOJ discovered
00:20:46.380 right after Trump took office,
00:20:50.540 is that Biden's DOJ,
00:20:53.360 after the president won the election,
00:20:55.460 converted those temporary hires
00:20:57.320 into permanent employees.
00:20:59.920 And so what the DOJ discovered,
00:21:01.820 I believe it was Amal Bovey
00:21:03.300 who discovered this,
00:21:04.580 said, no, no, no.
00:21:06.000 You're back.
00:21:06.520 You were temporary hires.
00:21:08.320 The Capitol Siege unit,
00:21:10.340 as they called it,
00:21:11.300 has been shut down.
00:21:12.700 The J6ers have been pardoned. 1.00
00:21:14.360 There will be no further
00:21:15.400 investigation.
00:21:16.680 Your services are no longer needed,
00:21:18.700 and you never should have been
00:21:20.360 converted to permanent employees.
00:21:21.800 But, Steve,
00:21:22.980 look at how easily
00:21:24.360 they lie.
00:21:26.800 And shame on Scott Pelley,
00:21:28.240 of course,
00:21:28.700 because he has helped
00:21:29.720 bolster the January 6th
00:21:31.540 insurrection narrative,
00:21:32.640 like he just said,
00:21:33.340 about 140 police officers
00:21:35.040 being injured.
00:21:36.460 Never seen any documentation
00:21:38.200 to back that up.
00:21:39.060 It doesn't matter, though.
00:21:40.120 But for them to brag
00:21:42.980 that the DOJ,
00:21:44.720 which they do,
00:21:45.800 has a 100% conviction rate
00:21:48.300 before jury trial,
00:21:49.540 before jurors in Washington.
00:21:51.460 This is after almost
00:21:52.680 three years of trials.
00:21:54.480 The first trial
00:21:55.120 was March 2022.
00:21:57.280 Not a single J6er 1.00
00:21:58.660 has walked out of a courtroom
00:22:00.380 after being before
00:22:02.380 a D.C. jury
00:22:03.620 and been fully acquitted.
00:22:06.220 They think,
00:22:07.300 or they're trying
00:22:07.760 to convince us,
00:22:09.220 that it's because
00:22:09.820 the evidence
00:22:10.420 is so overwhelming.
00:22:11.700 No.
00:22:12.420 It is because
00:22:13.260 of deceptive prosecutors
00:22:15.200 like those two
00:22:16.060 and everyone else
00:22:16.700 that we've seen
00:22:17.320 working in cahoots
00:22:19.220 with judges
00:22:20.320 who we now see
00:22:21.380 have open animus
00:22:23.180 towards President Trump
00:22:24.360 and everyone around him.
00:22:26.380 And then putting
00:22:27.100 these poor J6ers 1.00
00:22:28.400 before jurors
00:22:29.400 in each city
00:22:30.120 that voted 93%
00:22:32.020 for Joe Biden
00:22:32.820 and then 92%
00:22:34.140 for Kamala Harris.
00:22:35.140 They were still
00:22:36.000 putting J6ers on trial 1.00
00:22:38.000 after the election.
00:22:40.900 After Kamala Harris won
00:22:42.760 92% of the vote
00:22:44.280 in Washington.
00:22:46.080 That's how destructive
00:22:47.620 that process was
00:22:48.620 and that is what
00:22:49.460 the president
00:22:49.980 has talked about.
00:22:51.900 He said these people
00:22:53.060 have been treated
00:22:53.700 very unfairly
00:22:55.180 and when you have
00:22:55.840 Sarah Levine
00:22:56.640 and that other
00:22:57.880 prosecutor come out
00:22:59.660 like so many have
00:23:00.840 and talk about
00:23:02.400 their guilty
00:23:03.020 to the rule of law
00:23:04.640 and the overwhelming
00:23:05.620 evidence
00:23:06.180 and the attack
00:23:07.680 on the Capitol,
00:23:08.560 et cetera,
00:23:09.560 they're actually
00:23:10.260 making our argument
00:23:11.720 for us
00:23:12.360 and the president
00:23:13.140 because it underscores
00:23:15.200 how destructive
00:23:17.160 and reckless
00:23:18.440 and biased
00:23:19.280 the entire process
00:23:20.960 was from the very
00:23:21.880 beginning.
00:23:25.560 What can be done?
00:23:27.260 What's your recommendation
00:23:28.480 of the smug nature
00:23:30.200 of these two
00:23:32.140 in this whole process?
00:23:33.980 What is Julie Kelly's
00:23:35.180 recommendation here?
00:23:36.000 Well, I know
00:23:37.540 that there's
00:23:37.880 an investigation
00:23:38.640 by Ed Martin,
00:23:40.140 the DQS attorney
00:23:40.980 into the use
00:23:42.380 of 1512C2,
00:23:43.700 the obstruction
00:23:44.240 statute that was
00:23:45.700 overturned by the
00:23:46.640 Supreme Court
00:23:47.360 last June,
00:23:48.780 nonetheless brought
00:23:49.600 against the 300
00:23:50.980 plus J6ers, 1.00
00:23:52.180 including the president.
00:23:54.060 So there's an investigation
00:23:55.200 into how those
00:23:56.500 decisions were made.
00:23:58.360 How can prosecutors
00:23:59.400 like these two
00:24:00.340 be held accountable?
00:24:01.680 I would go back
00:24:02.400 to where we started
00:24:03.140 and that's these law firms.
00:24:04.440 These prosecutors
00:24:06.980 are basically
00:24:08.360 under investigation
00:24:09.140 right now
00:24:09.940 for abusing
00:24:10.700 their authority
00:24:11.740 and bringing
00:24:12.980 an obstruction
00:24:14.460 statute,
00:24:15.560 unlawfully,
00:24:17.060 abusively prosecuting
00:24:18.520 American citizens.
00:24:20.000 If you hire
00:24:20.680 these prosecutors,
00:24:21.800 know that they
00:24:22.460 are under investigation
00:24:23.780 and we will look
00:24:25.420 at your entire law firm
00:24:26.620 just like we looked
00:24:27.740 at Covington and Burley.
00:24:29.660 That's really
00:24:30.580 the only thing
00:24:31.400 that can be done
00:24:32.080 except
00:24:32.620 at the higher level
00:24:34.900 say people like
00:24:35.780 Matthew Graves,
00:24:37.200 the DCUS attorney
00:24:38.280 who handled
00:24:39.460 the J6 prosecution
00:24:40.660 for almost three years
00:24:42.360 and really investigating
00:24:44.840 him for selective
00:24:46.860 vindictive prosecution
00:24:48.480 which should be
00:24:49.780 something
00:24:50.200 easy to prove
00:24:51.860 and of course
00:24:52.780 then
00:24:53.680 Pambani already
00:24:54.820 announcing
00:24:55.340 in the DOJ
00:24:56.640 an investigation
00:24:57.740 into FBI
00:24:59.060 abuses
00:24:59.780 related to the
00:25:00.700 J6 investigations
00:25:02.020 and prosecution.
00:25:03.740 But we have to
00:25:04.720 keep beating this drum.
00:25:05.800 We cannot
00:25:06.280 let this
00:25:07.500 take a back burner
00:25:10.060 to all the other
00:25:10.840 FBI scandals
00:25:11.760 and DOJ
00:25:12.260 because there are
00:25:13.120 many
00:25:13.560 but nothing like
00:25:14.940 this has happened
00:25:15.500 in American history.
00:25:16.640 People have to
00:25:17.260 pay the price
00:25:18.000 and this can never
00:25:19.660 be allowed
00:25:20.520 to happen again.
00:25:23.040 It's terrible.
00:25:24.680 Julie Kelly,
00:25:25.960 Substack,
00:25:26.700 social media,
00:25:27.600 everything to keep up
00:25:28.520 with all your
00:25:29.460 investigation
00:25:30.880 into all this.
00:25:32.980 Declassified

00:25:34.920 Also,
00:25:35.360 I have work
00:25:36.000 at Real Clear
00:25:36.660 Investigations
00:25:37.520 and on
00:25:38.480 ex-Julie
00:25:39.280 underscore Kelly
00:25:39.940 too.
00:25:42.400 Julie,
00:25:43.000 thank you for joining us.
00:25:43.860 Take the time away.
00:25:44.600 I appreciate you.
00:25:45.080 Thanks.
00:25:47.100 Nobody better
00:25:47.920 than Julie Kelly. 0.57
00:25:48.640 Okay,
00:25:49.180 we come back.
00:25:49.880 The vote,
00:25:50.260 I think the actual
00:25:51.040 vote itself
00:25:51.680 is going to
00:25:52.120 commence at 630.
00:25:54.600 Couldn't be better
00:25:55.300 timing.

00:26:06.960 a rush of vote,
00:26:07.920 Mark Paoletta,
00:26:08.820 Jeff Clark,
00:26:10.900 and a host
00:26:11.700 of other folks
00:26:12.580 that are in the
00:26:13.000 administration
00:26:13.480 is going to join us
00:26:14.320 to break down
00:26:14.880 this budget resolution.
00:26:16.860 also out there
00:26:19.120 is that
00:26:19.580 it looks like
00:26:20.140 we're going to get
00:26:20.500 a full-year CR.
00:26:21.420 At least that's the word
00:26:22.080 coming out
00:26:22.480 from a number
00:26:23.000 of congressmen
00:26:23.760 and House
00:26:24.720 leadership.
00:26:27.060 We'll break that
00:26:27.780 down too.
00:26:30.140 Something else
00:26:30.760 you have to break down
00:26:31.700 is precious metals.
00:26:34.180 The opportunity
00:26:35.140 to use it
00:26:35.960 as a hedge
00:26:36.740 in times
00:26:38.040 of financial turbulence.

00:27:03.940 What's the pain

00:27:14.060 Have you seen
00:27:17.400 the news
00:27:17.720 from economists
00:27:18.380 forecasting a depression?
00:27:19.980 I'm not talking
00:27:20.880 recession.
00:27:22.340 I mean depression
00:27:23.480 by the year 2030.
00:27:25.660 We're in a perfect storm
00:27:26.800 as Social Security
00:27:27.660 and Medicare
00:27:28.200 hit a breaking point
00:27:29.500 with the largest generation
00:27:31.200 hitting retirement.
00:27:32.960 A smaller workforce
00:27:33.960 means a smaller tax base.
00:27:37.100 Pair that
00:27:37.640 with our growing
00:27:38.340 national debt
00:27:39.220 and rising costs
00:27:40.160 of living
00:27:40.520 and you've got
00:27:41.740 a problem
00:27:42.440 and I mean
00:27:42.940 a big problem.
00:27:44.060 So what are you

00:28:54.800 We've seen
00:28:56.980 all the headlines,
00:28:57.760 cyber attacks
00:28:58.340 on our power grids,

00:29:03.060 The ugly truth
00:29:03.780 is no leader,
00:29:04.660 no system
00:29:05.380 can protect you
00:29:06.320 from everything.

00:29:08.360 I want

00:31:10.240 Okay, this is a hell
00:31:24.840 of an evening show.
00:31:25.800 We gave you Trump
00:31:26.600 live,
00:31:27.920 or Trump
00:31:28.380 from the Oval
00:31:29.360 throwing bombs.
00:31:31.480 Then Benz,
00:31:32.340 as only Benz can do
00:31:33.360 in the breakdown
00:31:33.800 of the deep state,
00:31:34.540 particularly this demonic

00:31:36.220 chat room.
00:31:37.560 I mean, sick.
00:31:38.480 Um, and then
00:31:40.880 the Julie Kelly.
00:31:43.180 It's only she can do
00:31:44.300 on J6
00:31:44.860 and all the other legal.
00:31:45.780 And I tell you,
00:31:46.800 one of the things
00:31:47.440 I don't like,
00:31:48.920 and we talked
00:31:51.460 about this,
00:31:52.100 the Supreme Court
00:31:54.300 did not take that case
00:31:55.360 up in the emergency docket.
00:31:57.420 Stay tuned in this space.
00:31:58.880 That is not a good sign,
00:31:59.960 folks.
00:32:00.660 Not a good sign.
00:32:02.680 Not a good sign.
00:32:04.000 What is a good sign
00:32:06.540 is Birch Gold's
00:32:07.280 available to you now.
00:32:09.740 Consumer price
00:32:10.660 or consumer confidence
00:32:12.100 looks like you dropped
00:32:12.960 today.
00:32:13.740 I'm going to break down
00:32:14.300 of that tomorrow.
00:32:16.100 Um,
00:32:16.560 inflation fears
00:32:17.640 are back.
00:32:19.460 They're going to be back
00:32:20.400 until you get control
00:32:21.180 of the federal spending.
00:32:22.120 Keep telling you that.
00:32:23.540 There's no other solution
00:32:24.720 to this.
00:32:25.260 It ain't a supply chain problem.
00:32:26.780 It's a too many dollars
00:32:28.000 problem.
00:32:29.200 Too many dollars
00:32:30.180 chasing too few goods.
00:32:31.800 It's a problem
00:32:34.020 and it's not going away.
00:32:36.180 Right now,
00:32:36.900 we do the split screen.
00:32:37.720 They're voting
00:32:38.140 on the House floor.
00:32:40.780 Eric Tietzel's
00:32:41.400 going to join us
00:32:41.880 in a moment
00:32:42.300 from CR explain
00:32:43.080 all of this to you.
00:32:46.440 Birchgold.com,
00:32:47.900 they will explain
00:32:48.960 Philip Patrick
00:32:49.780 particularly.
00:32:51.840 It don't even,
00:32:52.520 it's not relevant
00:32:53.080 just the price of gold.
00:32:54.200 It's what,
00:32:54.860 it's the converging
00:32:55.700 factors that continue
00:32:57.100 to not just drive
00:32:59.020 it higher
00:32:59.660 but make it a hedge
00:33:00.540 against times
00:33:01.080 of financial turbulence.
00:33:02.020 We're going to have turbulence.
00:33:03.100 You're going to have to.
00:33:03.840 You got to.
00:33:05.880 That we're too far gone
00:33:07.140 financially
00:33:07.940 and this is a restructuring.
00:33:10.400 This is kind of a turnaround
00:33:11.480 and it needs an intervention.
00:33:14.160 We have not had
00:33:14.960 that intervention yet.
00:33:16.520 Birchgold.com,
00:33:18.340 end of the dollar empire.
00:33:19.660 See the crazy idea
00:33:20.780 that they all globbed onto
00:33:22.300 that got us in this situation.
00:33:25.840 Sick and perverted
00:33:26.980 as it is.
00:33:27.840 You have to understand it
00:33:28.800 and understand
00:33:30.740 what your bettors thought
00:33:32.100 was a program
00:33:33.740 to prosperity.
00:33:34.920 It's a road
00:33:35.600 to perdition.

00:33:44.860 public university

00:33:48.520 read it
00:33:49.020 because it's so accessible
00:33:50.640 to kind of understand

00:33:52.020 deficits,

00:34:43.320 thank you for joining us.
00:34:44.240 Eric,
00:34:44.560 what are we,
00:34:45.020 in the split screen,
00:34:46.080 if we get that,
00:34:46.580 what is actually happening?
00:34:48.240 Explain to our audience
00:34:49.640 what in the hell
00:34:51.360 is happening right now.
00:34:52.640 This is,
00:34:53.600 we do a pretty good job
00:34:54.580 of breaking this down,
00:34:55.400 but man,
00:34:55.840 oh man,
00:34:56.220 this one's confusing.
00:34:57.360 What is going on,
00:34:58.240 sir?
00:34:59.340 Yeah,
00:34:59.560 great question
00:35:00.200 and thanks for having me,
00:35:01.120 Steve.
00:35:01.640 They make this complicated
00:35:03.000 on purpose,
00:35:03.880 right?
00:35:04.840 That's what Congress
00:35:05.720 is for.
00:35:06.260 That's what leadership
00:35:06.880 is for,
00:35:07.480 to ensure
00:35:09.080 that you,
00:35:10.140 the voters,
00:35:10.660 don't understand
00:35:11.240 what's going on
00:35:12.260 and therefore,
00:35:13.300 it's a lot harder
00:35:14.100 to hold your member
00:35:14.980 of Congress accountable
00:35:16.040 for what's going on
00:35:17.300 because they obfuscate
00:35:18.580 and they confuse.
00:35:19.920 What's happening right here
00:35:20.880 is what we in the business
00:35:21.960 refer to as a bed check vote.
00:35:24.160 It's utterly meaningless,
00:35:25.480 does nothing
00:35:26.200 other than draw people
00:35:27.600 out of the woodwork
00:35:28.440 and get them to the floor
00:35:29.560 and try to give leadership
00:35:31.020 a sense of who's actually
00:35:32.460 in the building.
00:35:34.120 After this vote,
00:35:35.120 they will move to a vote
00:35:36.540 to pass the House version
00:35:38.440 of the budget resolution
00:35:40.200 that sort of creates
00:35:41.380 a framework
00:35:42.000 for reconciliation.
00:35:43.220 reconciliation.
00:35:45.920 So,
00:35:46.640 let me get this right.
00:35:47.840 This reconciliation,
00:35:49.100 this does not have anything
00:35:50.480 to do with the fiscal year
00:35:51.980 we're in,
00:35:52.720 the fiscal year of 2025,
00:35:54.960 which started on 1 October
00:35:56.660 of last year
00:35:58.280 and it goes to 30 September
00:35:59.900 of this year.
00:36:01.860 That is,
00:36:02.440 we're still,
00:36:02.960 we still have
00:36:04.100 until the midnight
00:36:05.080 on the 14th of March
00:36:06.400 to deal with that,
00:36:07.400 right?
00:36:07.560 We can either pass
00:36:08.380 single appropriations bills,
00:36:11.100 an entire appropriations bill,
00:36:12.360 negotiate with the Senate,
00:36:13.520 do all that,
00:36:14.500 or we either kick the can
00:36:16.740 down the road
00:36:17.340 if we need more time
00:36:18.260 for 30 or 60 days
00:36:19.420 by a continuing resolution,
00:36:20.740 or we could just do
00:36:22.500 a continuing resolution
00:36:23.420 to the end of the year.
00:36:24.680 Those are the,
00:36:25.280 that is what would deal
00:36:26.480 with 2025,
00:36:27.920 correct?
00:36:29.200 Correct.
00:36:29.780 There's about six months
00:36:31.260 left in this fiscal year.
00:36:33.100 It would end
00:36:33.620 on September 30th.
00:36:35.040 And so,
00:36:36.120 nothing they're doing today
00:36:37.700 has anything to do
00:36:39.160 with funding the government
00:36:40.520 up until that date.
00:36:42.360 your listeners
00:36:43.860 will recall
00:36:44.600 that there was
00:36:45.040 a big fight
00:36:45.920 back in December
00:36:47.380 over what to do
00:36:49.080 with funding the government.
00:36:51.240 And at that point in time,
00:36:52.560 we kicked the can
00:36:53.240 to March 14th.
00:36:54.460 And now we're discussing
00:36:55.760 what to do
00:36:57.080 before March 14th
00:36:59.180 or to let the government
00:37:00.780 shut down.
00:37:01.520 The vote tonight
00:37:02.580 has to do
00:37:03.280 with reconciliation,
00:37:04.060 which is an entirely
00:37:05.440 separate process,
00:37:06.880 but one that also has
00:37:08.720 a lot to do
00:37:09.840 with federal spending.
00:37:11.200 And then you've also
00:37:12.280 got the debt ceiling
00:37:13.320 that has to be dealt
00:37:14.540 with and a whole host
00:37:15.900 of other questions
00:37:16.880 that are all kind of
00:37:18.000 thrown into the jumble
00:37:18.920 there.
00:37:21.220 But let's go back
00:37:21.940 to do reconciliation.
00:37:24.320 What triggers this
00:37:25.060 because,
00:37:25.820 and I don't want to say
00:37:26.300 it's a gimmick,
00:37:28.020 what triggers this
00:37:29.120 is you have to have
00:37:30.400 a budget resolution,
00:37:31.480 correct?
00:37:31.860 That's kind of
00:37:32.520 the starting point,
00:37:33.340 the foundational element
00:37:34.360 that then you can
00:37:35.200 do all these
00:37:35.920 reconciliations
00:37:37.160 to that budget resolution,
00:37:38.880 correct?
00:37:39.100 That's exactly right.
00:37:41.260 So this,
00:37:42.460 it's a framework
00:37:43.480 and House leaders
00:37:45.080 and committee staffers
00:37:46.420 have been pulling
00:37:46.980 together a framework
00:37:48.140 called a resolution
00:37:49.900 and it includes
00:37:51.840 instructions
00:37:52.640 to committees
00:37:54.640 of jurisdiction
00:37:55.460 and it says
00:37:56.660 to them,
00:37:57.460 we need you
00:37:58.300 to take this resolution
00:38:00.020 and cut
00:38:01.300 X number of dollars
00:38:02.560 from federal spending
00:38:04.100 within the purview
00:38:05.340 of your committee
00:38:06.240 or in a couple
00:38:07.920 of cases
00:38:08.520 including on the
00:38:09.280 House side
00:38:09.940 Ways and Means
00:38:11.640 which deals
00:38:12.680 with taxes
00:38:13.360 they actually
00:38:14.480 increase the credit
00:38:15.760 limit in their
00:38:17.180 instruction
00:38:17.700 with the intent
00:38:18.840 of giving the
00:38:20.100 committee room
00:38:20.900 to do
00:38:21.760 Trump's tax cuts,
00:38:23.880 right?
00:38:24.260 So the total
00:38:25.300 budget resolution
00:38:26.300 includes a whole
00:38:27.260 host of cuts
00:38:28.100 and a little bit
00:38:29.180 of increases
00:38:29.760 to dealing
00:38:30.940 with renewing
00:38:31.840 the president's
00:38:32.700 tax cut plan
00:38:33.660 that was originally
00:38:34.300 passed back
00:38:34.960 in 2017.
00:38:36.240 So this is
00:38:36.720 the first step
00:38:37.880 of broader
00:38:38.960 reconciliation.
00:38:40.120 First step.
00:38:41.320 Now when they
00:38:41.980 talk about this
00:38:42.680 budget resolution
00:38:43.780 and this budget,
00:38:45.340 this budget
00:38:46.280 is not for
00:38:47.100 fiscal year 2025,
00:38:48.800 correct?
00:38:49.100 This is a
00:38:49.700 actual resolution
00:38:50.620 of a budget
00:38:51.680 that would be
00:38:52.780 for fiscal year
00:38:53.660 26?
00:38:56.200 That's
00:38:56.760 correct,
00:38:58.160 right.
00:38:58.500 This has
00:38:59.380 actually very
00:39:01.180 little to do
00:39:02.040 with funding
00:39:02.840 the government.
00:39:03.760 This has to do
00:39:04.440 with mandatory
00:39:05.100 spending
00:39:05.780 that's already
00:39:06.800 set in law
00:39:07.680 and that
00:39:08.480 typically isn't
00:39:09.380 dealt with
00:39:09.980 in a standard
00:39:10.600 appropriations
00:39:11.360 process that
00:39:12.100 has to do
00:39:12.660 more with
00:39:13.260 the stuff
00:39:13.980 that exists
00:39:14.500 outside of
00:39:15.180 mandatory
00:39:15.500 spending.
00:39:16.340 Like I said,
00:39:17.380 they intentionally
00:39:18.080 make this
00:39:18.740 extraordinarily
00:39:19.500 confusing
00:39:20.480 and complicated
00:39:21.360 so that they
00:39:22.600 can get what
00:39:23.140 they want.
00:39:23.560 Yeah.
00:39:25.560 And it's
00:39:26.800 over 10 years,
00:39:27.540 so when we
00:39:27.880 hear that they're
00:39:28.520 talking about
00:39:29.060 $2 trillion
00:39:29.620 of cuts
00:39:30.840 and that
00:39:31.380 you know,
00:39:32.200 $800
00:39:32.580 BANA that
00:39:33.200 is going
00:39:33.440 to come
00:39:33.700 from Medicaid,
00:39:34.240 that is
00:39:35.460 over a
00:39:35.880 10-year
00:39:36.200 time frame,
00:39:36.940 is it not,
00:39:37.540 sir?
00:39:39.200 That is
00:39:39.900 typically how
00:39:40.560 this is done.
00:39:41.400 Yes,
00:39:41.740 there is
00:39:42.220 talk about
00:39:43.100 using gimmicks
00:39:44.480 in different
00:39:44.920 ways to
00:39:45.440 extend that
00:39:46.180 or shorten
00:39:46.680 it,
00:39:47.440 talk about
00:39:48.580 what the
00:39:49.240 baseline that
00:39:49.960 you're
00:39:50.100 determining
00:39:50.560 this growth
00:39:51.380 or cut
00:39:51.900 from
00:39:52.460 might be,
00:39:53.500 but generally
00:39:54.440 speaking,
00:39:54.980 they use a
00:39:55.760 10-year budget
00:39:56.720 window.
00:39:57.400 That's right.
00:39:57.840 So,
00:40:00.440 if we talk
00:40:01.360 about either
00:40:01.840 the budget
00:40:02.200 resolution for
00:40:03.120 next year
00:40:03.580 or beyond
00:40:03.980 or the
00:40:04.780 CR that
00:40:05.680 will take
00:40:06.040 this fiscal,
00:40:07.380 because we
00:40:07.860 have argued
00:40:08.260 on this
00:40:08.960 show,
00:40:09.860 you know,
00:40:10.020 your former
00:40:10.420 boss,
00:40:11.560 Russ Folt,
00:40:12.000 when he went
00:40:12.300 to OMB,
00:40:12.840 that DOGE,
00:40:13.600 this whole
00:40:13.960 DOGE process
00:40:14.760 somehow has
00:40:15.540 to be merged
00:40:16.080 into or under
00:40:17.400 the supervision
00:40:18.020 of OMB and
00:40:18.880 has to get
00:40:19.340 into the
00:40:19.700 appropriations
00:40:20.360 process because
00:40:21.800 somewhere the
00:40:23.240 DOGE cuts
00:40:24.220 have to get
00:40:25.560 kind of codified
00:40:26.600 into a system.
00:40:28.660 Where would
00:40:29.080 you see that
00:40:29.820 happening?
00:40:32.000 Would you
00:40:32.260 see that
00:40:32.600 happening in
00:40:33.940 this CR
00:40:34.660 that we're
00:40:35.040 going to do
00:40:35.680 between now
00:40:37.280 and March
00:40:38.300 24th?
00:40:39.000 Or do you
00:40:39.320 see that
00:40:39.660 happening as
00:40:41.060 a fallout
00:40:41.720 after this
00:40:42.300 budget resolution?
00:40:43.320 I mean,
00:40:43.960 whether it's
00:40:44.740 a trillion
00:40:45.180 dollars of
00:40:46.060 waste,
00:40:46.360 fraud,
00:40:46.540 and abuse,
00:40:47.880 Elon fines,
00:40:48.800 or if it's
00:40:49.100 $100 billion,
00:40:49.980 regardless of
00:40:50.640 the number,
00:40:51.600 where does
00:40:52.020 any number
00:40:52.780 in DOGE
00:40:53.740 actually go
00:40:54.620 into a
00:40:55.040 process that
00:40:56.380 becomes a
00:40:57.120 process that
00:40:57.740 we know
00:40:58.080 it starts
00:40:58.660 to cut
00:40:59.040 something that
00:40:59.600 we call
00:40:59.940 the annual
00:41:00.860 deficit?
00:41:02.660 Great question.
00:41:03.720 And the
00:41:04.000 answer is
00:41:04.780 all of the
00:41:05.420 above.
00:41:06.400 So we're
00:41:07.720 going to
00:41:07.980 start most
00:41:09.200 likely with
00:41:10.180 a CR.
00:41:11.180 Now,
00:41:11.980 conservatives
00:41:12.500 initially are
00:41:14.000 going to
00:41:14.240 balk at this,
00:41:15.080 right?
00:41:15.380 Because we
00:41:15.940 know what
00:41:16.320 a CR
00:41:16.840 is.
00:41:17.680 A CR
00:41:18.340 is what
00:41:18.800 happens when
00:41:19.500 you punt
00:41:20.040 on doing
00:41:20.720 your job
00:41:21.360 as a member
00:41:21.900 of Congress.
00:41:22.460 You're
00:41:22.980 supposed to
00:41:23.580 do a
00:41:23.940 full
00:41:24.200 appropriations
00:41:24.940 process
00:41:25.460 every single
00:41:26.300 year where
00:41:27.060 all of the
00:41:27.620 committees
00:41:28.060 come together,
00:41:29.740 they budget
00:41:30.580 for their
00:41:31.280 committee,
00:41:32.180 you pass a
00:41:32.780 bill,
00:41:33.060 you reconcile
00:41:33.520 it with
00:41:34.020 whatever the
00:41:34.540 Senate has
00:41:35.000 done,
00:41:35.520 and there's
00:41:36.580 your budget
00:41:36.980 for the
00:41:37.360 year.
00:41:37.660 This almost
00:41:38.040 never happens.
00:41:39.020 Instead,
00:41:39.980 we kick
00:41:40.380 the can
00:41:40.800 down the
00:41:41.200 road through
00:41:41.740 CRs so
00:41:43.040 that at the
00:41:43.460 end of the
00:41:43.940 year,
00:41:44.560 a lobbyist
00:41:45.260 can pull
00:41:45.700 an omnibus
00:41:46.280 bill out
00:41:46.720 of the
00:41:46.900 drawer on
00:41:47.280 Christmas
00:41:47.580 Eve and
00:41:48.420 shove it
00:41:48.800 down your
00:41:49.140 throats.
00:41:50.020 That's how
00:41:50.480 the swamp
00:41:50.920 gets their
00:41:51.380 way,
00:41:51.900 and CRs
00:41:52.480 are typically
00:41:53.120 a tool
00:41:53.840 for doing
00:41:54.380 that.
00:41:55.080 We are
00:41:55.440 living in
00:41:56.340 what I
00:41:56.820 think is
00:41:57.240 a fairly
00:41:57.760 unprecedented
00:41:58.660 moment,
00:41:59.740 where for
00:42:00.280 the first
00:42:00.920 time,
00:42:01.900 certainly
00:42:02.320 in my
00:42:02.780 lifetime,
00:42:03.820 the
00:42:04.140 president
00:42:04.540 of the
00:42:04.900 United
00:42:05.120 States
00:42:05.500 and his
00:42:05.940 team,
00:42:06.540 including
00:42:06.840 Elon Musk
00:42:07.560 and Russ
00:42:07.980 Vote,
00:42:08.800 and really
00:42:09.600 virtually every
00:42:10.560 member of
00:42:11.080 the team,
00:42:11.620 is committed
00:42:12.100 to
00:42:12.780 meaningfully
00:42:13.860 wreaking
00:42:15.340 havoc on
00:42:16.340 the deep
00:42:16.680 state,
00:42:17.080 including
00:42:17.880 through
00:42:18.160 spending.
00:42:18.800 We've
00:42:18.960 already
00:42:19.320 seen it
00:42:19.760 through the
00:42:20.040 executive
00:42:20.420 actions,
00:42:21.080 through
00:42:21.200 shutting
00:42:21.800 down
00:42:22.060 the
00:42:22.220 CFPB,
00:42:23.360 through
00:42:23.500 shutting
00:42:23.940 down
00:42:24.220 USAID,
00:42:25.020 and there's
00:42:25.540 more to
00:42:26.080 come.
00:42:26.980 So a
00:42:27.340 CR in
00:42:28.060 this
00:42:28.480 specific
00:42:29.280 instance
00:42:29.960 is a
00:42:30.980 little bit
00:42:31.340 different
00:42:31.660 from typical.
00:42:32.620 What we're
00:42:33.180 doing is
00:42:33.840 actually
00:42:34.520 paving the
00:42:35.520 way for
00:42:36.920 the
00:42:37.720 government
00:42:38.560 to continue
00:42:39.280 to operate
00:42:39.960 with the
00:42:41.580 president of
00:42:42.200 the United
00:42:42.560 States,
00:42:43.160 Elon Musk,
00:42:43.980 Russ Vote,
00:42:44.360 and company
00:42:44.820 at the
00:42:45.460 controls,
00:42:46.000 so that
00:42:46.900 they can
00:42:47.300 continue to
00:42:48.100 gut it
00:42:48.740 as they
00:42:49.300 have been
00:42:49.840 doing.
00:42:50.560 Meanwhile,
00:42:51.320 we are also
00:42:51.920 greasing the
00:42:52.560 skids through 1.00
00:42:53.120 a CR for
00:42:54.020 reconciliation,
00:42:55.240 which is going
00:42:55.920 to be a
00:42:56.460 huge means
00:42:57.800 through which
00:42:58.400 they actually
00:42:59.400 follow up on
00:43:00.260 what the
00:43:00.560 administration is
00:43:01.360 doing by
00:43:02.340 enacting real
00:43:03.440 meaningful cuts,
00:43:05.260 along with
00:43:06.120 regulatory reform
00:43:07.360 and funding for
00:43:08.980 the border and
00:43:10.040 funding for the
00:43:10.600 military and
00:43:11.440 several other
00:43:12.180 of the
00:43:12.440 president's key
00:43:13.300 initiatives.
00:43:14.580 And then here's
00:43:15.080 the real
00:43:15.400 kicker.
00:43:16.360 That CR
00:43:17.180 that goes
00:43:17.740 until the
00:43:18.180 end of
00:43:18.500 September is
00:43:19.800 something that
00:43:20.580 Russ Vote 0.61
00:43:21.380 through OMB can
00:43:22.340 come back to
00:43:23.360 and say,
00:43:24.640 we know that
00:43:25.540 you appropriated
00:43:26.480 X number of
00:43:27.220 dollars here.
00:43:28.520 We haven't
00:43:29.400 spent it.
00:43:30.540 And in fact,
00:43:31.480 here's a package
00:43:32.340 of rescissions
00:43:33.300 and impoundments
00:43:34.800 that we're going
00:43:35.660 to ask Congress
00:43:36.380 to consider
00:43:37.240 and claw that 0.98
00:43:38.660 money back.
00:43:39.480 So the money
00:43:40.180 that's appropriated
00:43:41.100 via this CR
00:43:42.140 here before March
00:43:43.080 14th, in all
00:43:43.880 likelihood, is
00:43:45.040 not actually
00:43:45.800 going to be
00:43:46.420 spent, probably
00:43:47.960 again, for the
00:43:48.740 first time in
00:43:49.540 my entire life.
00:43:52.740 Okay, so
00:43:53.740 note to
00:43:54.840 War Room
00:43:55.740 Posse, take 0.94
00:43:56.420 your number
00:43:56.800 two pencil out
00:43:57.660 because for the
00:43:58.320 first time we've
00:43:59.020 explained exactly
00:44:00.580 where this theory
00:44:01.520 of the
00:44:03.400 unified executive
00:44:05.920 theory is now
00:44:07.700 going to come
00:44:08.240 into the budget
00:44:09.380 process because
00:44:10.200 what you're
00:44:11.280 hearing is that
00:44:12.220 after the CR
00:44:13.160 is passed
00:44:14.240 and there's
00:44:15.860 going to be a
00:44:16.220 lot of bitching 1.00
00:44:16.800 and moaning 0.96
00:44:17.180 in this audience
00:44:17.860 including at
00:44:18.640 this microphone,
00:44:20.080 what they're
00:44:20.520 saying is that
00:44:21.220 okay, don't
00:44:23.100 worry because
00:44:23.840 that's a
00:44:24.680 ceiling.
00:44:25.940 Doesn't mean
00:44:26.420 that's the money
00:44:26.900 that's going to
00:44:27.060 be spent and
00:44:27.620 then Russ Vogt
00:44:28.400 and others
00:44:28.960 through the
00:44:29.400 impoundment
00:44:29.900 process first
00:44:30.760 and this other
00:44:31.220 process second
00:44:31.900 but the
00:44:32.180 impoundment
00:44:32.640 process are
00:44:33.220 going to say
00:44:33.660 either we're
00:44:34.900 not going to
00:44:35.360 spend it or
00:44:35.980 it can be
00:44:36.320 reprogrammed
00:44:37.120 because that's
00:44:38.220 the Constitution
00:44:39.720 says the chief
00:44:40.780 executive and
00:44:41.440 that's what
00:44:41.780 chief executives
00:44:42.500 do.
00:44:43.260 That one baby
00:44:44.420 will quickly
00:44:45.780 go into federal
00:44:47.340 court, will it
00:44:48.080 not, Eric?
00:44:51.320 Yeah, undoubtedly
00:44:52.500 just as so many
00:44:53.300 of the other
00:44:53.700 actions have
00:44:54.520 done and we
00:44:55.760 think we'll
00:44:56.160 prevail there.
00:44:57.120 The theory of
00:44:57.960 impoundment and
00:44:59.080 the unitary
00:44:59.740 executive and the
00:45:00.860 executive's power
00:45:01.800 over spending is
00:45:03.260 basic, it's
00:45:04.300 rational, in fact
00:45:05.320 it's common
00:45:05.880 sense, it goes
00:45:06.640 all the way
00:45:07.160 back to the
00:45:07.680 founding of
00:45:08.180 the country,
00:45:09.240 you see this
00:45:10.260 sort of executive
00:45:11.360 discretion in
00:45:12.820 virtually every
00:45:13.720 element of the
00:45:15.040 administration,
00:45:15.800 right?
00:45:16.200 The president
00:45:17.140 as the commander
00:45:18.580 in chief gets
00:45:19.380 to dictate how
00:45:21.340 we fight our
00:45:22.060 wars, right?
00:45:23.240 He tells the
00:45:23.880 generals this is
00:45:24.720 the strategy, he
00:45:25.620 doesn't have to
00:45:26.040 go to Congress
00:45:26.600 for that.
00:45:27.420 The president
00:45:27.880 as the head
00:45:28.520 of the Department
00:45:29.020 of Justice
00:45:29.540 says to
00:45:30.580 Kash Patel
00:45:31.360 these are the
00:45:32.300 priorities and
00:45:33.280 these aren't
00:45:33.820 the priorities
00:45:34.600 so that they
00:45:35.580 can administer
00:45:36.240 justice according
00:45:37.360 to those
00:45:38.000 presidential
00:45:38.740 prerogatives.
00:45:39.720 It's exactly
00:45:40.580 the same when
00:45:41.380 it comes to
00:45:42.040 spending.
00:45:43.120 Congress has
00:45:43.620 the power of
00:45:44.120 the purse, they
00:45:44.800 hand the money
00:45:45.340 over, but the
00:45:46.480 president of the
00:45:47.240 United States in
00:45:48.240 the Constitution
00:45:48.880 is instructed to
00:45:50.360 take care that
00:45:51.240 the law be
00:45:51.880 faithfully executed.
00:45:53.740 And that means
00:45:54.560 if he can get it
00:45:55.560 done for 50% of
00:45:57.760 what Congress has
00:45:58.540 appropriated, he
00:45:59.800 of course is not
00:46:00.920 constitutionally
00:46:02.080 prohibited from
00:46:03.220 saving taxpayer money,
00:46:04.840 right?
00:46:05.400 The court's going
00:46:06.200 to see that.
00:46:07.060 This has never
00:46:07.460 been adjudicated
00:46:08.240 despite what some
00:46:09.000 people will tell
00:46:09.600 you.
00:46:09.820 The central
00:46:10.300 holding of
00:46:11.800 impoundment has
00:46:12.820 never been before
00:46:13.560 the Supreme Court
00:46:14.400 and we think it
00:46:15.480 is that will
00:46:16.580 prevail.
00:46:17.340 If I can, going
00:46:18.180 back to your
00:46:18.860 other point,
00:46:19.400 Steve, the
00:46:20.960 skepticism over
00:46:21.880 CR is completely
00:46:23.240 warranted.
00:46:24.380 Politicians have
00:46:25.060 been saying to
00:46:25.640 us for decades,
00:46:27.700 just trust me,
00:46:28.960 we'll come back
00:46:29.800 to that.
00:46:30.220 And so you
00:46:31.620 have every right
00:46:32.760 to look askance
00:46:34.600 at a claim like
00:46:35.520 that.
00:46:35.900 We've heard it
00:46:36.920 all before.
00:46:37.920 What's different
00:46:38.620 here is this
00:46:40.400 president at this
00:46:41.760 time with this
00:46:42.800 team.
00:46:43.360 And I think we've
00:46:43.960 already seen in
00:46:45.300 the first month
00:46:46.060 that they've been
00:46:46.680 in office that
00:46:47.720 they are putting
00:46:48.260 their money when
00:46:49.000 their mouth is.
00:46:50.040 And I for one
00:46:50.940 trust that they're
00:46:52.520 actually going to
00:46:53.140 follow through and
00:46:53.740 do what they say
00:46:54.260 they're going to
00:46:54.560 do.
00:46:56.600 Last question.
00:46:57.560 On this budget
00:46:58.080 resolution tonight,
00:46:59.300 correct me if I'm
00:46:59.820 wrong,
00:47:00.220 the House version
00:47:01.440 that they're going
00:47:02.040 to vote on after
00:47:02.820 they do the bed
00:47:03.500 check, if they
00:47:03.960 ever get to
00:47:04.500 an actual vote
00:47:05.220 and they must
00:47:05.660 be pretty confident
00:47:06.940 they have the
00:47:08.120 votes to pass it
00:47:08.920 to go through
00:47:09.360 with it.
00:47:10.360 Does it not
00:47:11.100 give us a
00:47:12.700 bigger overall
00:47:13.720 deficit?
00:47:14.640 Does not debt
00:47:15.640 go to like 130
00:47:16.840 percent of GDP?
00:47:17.980 Isn't it higher
00:47:18.680 than what's on
00:47:19.660 the table
00:47:20.060 previously, sir?
00:47:22.300 Yeah, these
00:47:23.120 models will show
00:47:24.940 different things and
00:47:25.880 people are going to
00:47:26.780 look at how they
00:47:28.020 are developing the
00:47:28.980 models.
00:47:29.360 And judge for
00:47:30.560 themselves how
00:47:31.980 valid they are.
00:47:33.240 But the biggest
00:47:34.640 part of the model
00:47:36.580 is the question of
00:47:37.860 how much this
00:47:38.680 stimulates economic
00:47:40.080 growth and
00:47:41.220 therefore how much
00:47:42.120 additional revenue
00:47:43.020 you can expect
00:47:44.000 from it.
00:47:45.360 And my view is to
00:47:46.880 say that if you
00:47:47.820 have this massive
00:47:48.940 agenda that
00:47:49.860 includes deregulation
00:47:51.860 across the American
00:47:52.960 economy and in
00:47:53.940 particular in the
00:47:55.000 energy sector and
00:47:56.880 and it decreases
00:47:58.620 taxes all across
00:48:00.760 the economy and
00:48:02.520 that secures the
00:48:04.200 border and that
00:48:05.480 does all of these
00:48:06.340 other things that
00:48:06.920 are necessary to
00:48:08.100 generate the kind
00:48:09.440 of economic growth
00:48:10.460 that we know is
00:48:11.460 possible, that the
00:48:12.480 American people are
00:48:13.200 capable of producing,
00:48:14.940 that they will
00:48:15.920 exceed what is
00:48:16.940 modeled and that in
00:48:18.220 fact this won't
00:48:19.260 blow up the
00:48:20.780 deficit.
00:48:21.160 But it also does
00:48:22.440 include some
00:48:23.060 safeguards to
00:48:24.020 ensure that they
00:48:25.620 have to do cuts in
00:48:27.040 order to grant the
00:48:28.920 freedom to do
00:48:29.860 additional tasks.
00:48:31.860 Yeah.
00:48:32.240 Is that dynamic
00:48:35.460 scoring?
00:48:36.320 And I take it the
00:48:37.360 CBO report the way
00:48:38.860 I look it has a
00:48:39.740 growth rate of 1.8%
00:48:41.280 which is pretty
00:48:41.800 anemic.
00:48:42.840 Is your growth rate
00:48:43.720 at CRA when you
00:48:44.680 guys model this out
00:48:45.720 is it higher?
00:48:46.480 Is it 2, 2.5, 3?
00:48:48.100 What do you use as
00:48:49.820 your growth rate?
00:48:51.320 The growth rate that
00:48:52.000 I understand that the
00:48:53.520 house is using is
00:48:54.900 about 2.8% which is
00:48:57.380 a fairly average
00:48:58.640 growth rate as I
00:48:59.880 understand it.
00:49:00.440 Actually fairly
00:49:01.140 modest especially
00:49:03.300 given the extreme
00:49:05.660 lengths to which
00:49:06.420 they're going to
00:49:07.040 unleash the American
00:49:07.840 economy.
00:49:08.380 I certainly think it
00:49:09.200 could go higher.
00:49:11.760 Yeah.
00:49:12.980 Okay.
00:49:13.560 We'll break that
00:49:14.060 down and comment
00:49:14.900 tomorrow.
00:49:15.460 Okay.
00:49:15.660 Eric, how many
00:49:18.080 guys are left at
00:49:18.880 CRA?
00:49:20.200 Isn't everybody
00:49:20.940 in the, and
00:49:22.120 seriously, isn't
00:49:23.160 everybody in the
00:49:24.460 Trump administration
00:49:26.060 right now?
00:49:26.840 It's you, you
00:49:27.540 got a, you, a
00:49:28.300 Marine, and who
00:49:29.400 else?
00:49:29.700 You got a couple
00:49:30.200 of guys there
00:49:30.700 holding the fort?
00:49:32.140 Yeah, we got a
00:49:32.940 great team.
00:49:33.420 We did in fact
00:49:34.020 deploy Easy Company
00:49:35.480 into the administration
00:49:36.440 and they're fighting
00:49:37.660 the good fight.
00:49:38.460 It's a great problem
00:49:39.160 to have.
00:49:40.640 If it wasn't our
00:49:41.740 team, it would be
00:49:42.400 somebody else's and
00:49:43.340 that would be too
00:49:44.020 bad for America.
00:49:45.080 So I'm glad they're
00:49:46.060 gone.
00:49:46.680 But if you know
00:49:47.080 anybody who wants
00:49:47.680 a job with
00:49:48.420 America's leading
00:49:49.300 America first 0.69
00:49:49.960 organization, have
00:49:50.940 them send their
00:49:51.440 resume my right
00:49:52.340 way.
00:49:52.800 We're, we're
00:49:53.420 hiring.
00:49:56.220 High class
00:49:56.980 problem.
00:49:57.580 Social media, where
00:49:58.460 do people go to get
00:49:59.220 you, Eric?
00:50:00.420 Sure.
00:50:00.940 I'm on X at
00:50:02.320 Eric Tietzel and
00:50:03.660 they can also go to
00:50:04.960 at America Renewing
00:50:06.620 Center and follow all
00:50:07.860 the great work that
00:50:08.600 our organization's
00:50:09.460 doing.
00:50:11.380 Thank you, brother.
00:50:12.380 Great explanation.
00:50:13.660 That's happening right
00:50:14.520 now.
00:50:16.020 Here, I'll be
00:50:16.800 following it up on
00:50:17.400 social media at the
00:50:18.540 end of the show, which
00:50:19.100 will be a couple of
00:50:19.680 minutes.
