Bannon's War Room - WarRoom Battleground EP 972： Republicans Call Democrats Bluff With SAVE AMERICA ACT

00:00:00.000 it is often said that you can't win you can't do revolutions from the air that is true uh you

00:00:16.320 can't do it only from there you can do a lot of things from the air and we're doing but there

00:00:20.400 have to be there has to be a ground component as well there are many possibilities for this

00:00:25.120 ground component, and I take the liberty of not sharing with you all those possibilities.

00:00:32.220 Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Jordan Conradson with the Gateway Pundit. So with the strike

00:00:37.300 yesterday on South Far's gas field, you know, if the U.S. didn't know about it or didn't

00:00:42.500 approve of it, it kind of seems like a trend of Israel apparently pursuing their own objectives

00:00:48.960 over U.S. objectives. I'm not sure if you agree with that, but the president has said

00:00:53.980 doesn't want to hit Iran's oil infrastructure right now. As you said, the U.S. avoided this

00:00:59.020 on Park Island. Oil is nearing $120. Why are we helping Israel prosecute this war if they're

00:01:04.940 going to pursue their own objectives? We hold the cards. We have objectives.

00:01:11.000 Those objectives are clear. We have allies pursuing objectives as well. And the truth

00:01:16.320 speaks for itself. I mean, President Trump was very clear about that. Iran has weaponized energy

00:01:21.480 for decades. Israel clearly sent a warning, and POTUS has made it clear, very clear. Iran knows

00:01:28.360 when you hit Karg Island and you hit military capabilities on Karg Island, which is the only

00:01:34.160 thing we hit, we can hold anything at issue, anything. The United States military controls

00:01:40.240 the fate of that country. Iran has the ability to make the right choices. It should not, going

00:01:45.820 forward target Arab allies, Arab countries, trying to create pain, the pain that they created

00:01:52.200 themselves. Thank you all very much. Okay, welcome back. It's Thursday, 19 March,

00:01:59.300 Euroville, over 2026. Cleta's with us. Neil McCabe's with us. We're going to go back to

00:02:03.920 the Senate floor. Philip Patrick Scott Coburn also here momentarily. I think we're going to

00:02:10.260 do some jujitsu tonight and maybe actually force a vote or see drama on the Senate floor.

00:02:16.460 Jordan Conradson joins us from Gateway Point.

00:02:19.340 I got another little package here.

00:02:20.580 They're going to tell me what's right.

00:02:21.980 So, Jordan, you asked a question, and I keep telling Jim Hoff,

00:02:25.020 your time at the Pentagon has been great and over at the White House

00:02:29.140 because you always ask straightforward, great questions.

00:02:32.200 Explain to me the Secretary of War's answer to you, sir.

00:02:36.800 Steve, thank you for having me.

00:02:38.000 Thank you for the compliment.

00:02:38.720 You know, Secretary Hegseth's answer was, we hold the cards.

00:02:43.600 We're in control of this war.

00:02:44.940 This is our war.

00:02:45.820 But, you know, it's really not clear that's the case, especially to a lot of MAGA voters.

00:02:51.340 I'm not talking about the Mark Levin's of MAGA or the Lindsey Graham's of MAGA, the new MAGA.

00:02:57.120 But I'm talking about Trump's day one supporters who don't like this, who don't like getting entangled in these foreign conflicts, especially when you've got people like Marco Rubio, John Ratcliffe today saying,

00:03:10.340 oh well we we only struck because israel dragged us into this war because a strike by israel was

00:03:18.280 imminent and we knew that iran was going to strike us immediately in retaliation so we got ahead of

00:03:24.220 it so you know it's really not clear what the message here is because you know on one hand

00:03:30.960 you've got secretary boris saying well we're we're in charge on the other hand you've got

00:03:34.820 secretary of state but hexeth heads hexeth said i think the thing of your question because it's

00:03:41.080 straightforward he said we hold all the cards but they have their strategic objectives and we

00:03:46.140 have ours i was like exactly hang on for a second there's so hang on but i want to then play

00:03:51.320 go ahead go ahead go ahead well and he he kind of admitted this uh last week too uh after

00:03:57.740 israel struck iranian only oil depots when president trump was like no we're not targeting

00:04:03.580 infrastructure obviously israel went after that objective now jordan gets to the heart of it yes

00:04:10.860 let's go that was two sours ago we had another incident that blew up today in capital markets

00:04:16.760 all over the world commodity markets all over the world there was this incident last uh last night

00:04:22.760 where uh the israelis struck this kind of joint gas field between qatar and iran that's essentially

00:04:31.400 i think managed by qatar mostly the iranians own part of it they struck as president trump said a

00:04:37.080 sliver that is the iranian part uh and then uh there the iranian struck qatar qatar then said

00:04:45.020 we're gonna have to go maybe to force majeure on five-year contracts was sent to gas markets uh

00:04:50.900 in a turmoil uh and would lead to major dislocations if they had to happen then later

00:04:56.780 Okay. And then President Trump came out with a scathing true social that said, hey, they did this. I didn't know about it. And then they said, well, he did know about it. That President Trump was brief. And I think they said he was brief by Netanyahu, another senior people.

00:05:12.720 Well, the president then came or said, hey, look, if Iran ever hits Qatar again, we're going next level.

00:05:18.900 So then later today, there was both a discussion, I think, President Trump in the Oval when the Japanese prime minister was there, and then Bibi at his press conference.

00:05:27.540 Let's go and play him.

00:05:29.500 You talked to Prime Minister Minnet Yahu about attacking the oil and gas fields.

00:05:33.940 Yeah, I did. I did. I told him, don't do that. And he won't do that. We didn't discuss.

00:05:38.800 You know, we do, we're independent, we get along great, it's coordinated, but on occasion

00:05:45.680 he'll do something, and if I don't like it, and so we're not doing that anymore.

00:05:50.620 Fact number one, Israel acted alone against the Slavia gas compound.

00:05:56.680 Fact number two, President Trump asks us to hold off on future attacks, and we're holding

00:06:02.360 out.

00:06:02.780 Prime Minister, given the escalation of attacks on U.S. allies across the Gulf, given the

00:06:08.280 spiraling energy costs, the high costs in general that the U.S. service personnel killed in this

00:06:13.620 war. Many Americans are asking that question, whether you misled their government into starting

00:06:19.860 this war, and for how long should Americans keep paying the price? Well, I misled no one,

00:06:25.980 and I didn't have to convince President Trump about the need to prevent Iran from developing

00:06:32.460 its nuclear program, putting it underground, and being able to launch nuclear-tipped missiles at

00:06:38.220 the united states he understood that he explained it to me i didn't explain it to him and i think

00:06:44.100 that our partnership is the only way to avoid this catastrophic development

00:06:49.800 okay partnership now look i've said a million times right you know we're not having that what

00:06:57.620 howard got here and the imminent threat that's all going to get worked out over time we're in

00:07:01.540 a shooting war now we just had six american heroes from the kc-135 tanker return our honored dead

00:07:10.920 returned yesterday to dover coach tover bill senator toverville in the very opening segment

00:07:17.860 of the five o'clock show said he went up with the president and secretary of war hegseth and he went

00:07:22.620 up with the chairman of the joint chiefs came he went up there because one of the heroes was from

00:07:28.300 the great state of alabama so we're in a shooting war we got to win but we talk about the partnership

00:07:33.000 so let's just put a pin in the imminent threat and all that but we got to go to something that

00:07:38.160 is absolutely essential jordan conradson and that is who's running the deal pete says we hold all

00:07:45.400 the cards if if in any joint command we've ever had including in world war ii the united states

00:07:53.300 calls the shots okay this it can't be separate strategic objectives maybe long term but for the

00:08:01.120 fight you got one and it couldn't have been more blunt the president of the united states told them

00:08:07.520 on that saturday and that sunday morning hey we didn't authorize this we are surprised about this

00:08:13.960 this is not to happen again why is it not to happen again well bb talks about a revolution

00:08:18.480 oh and now you got to have combat now you have ground troops that's a surprise didn't hear that

00:08:22.760 before but the thesis the theory of the case here was quite straightforward that was going to be a

00:08:28.680 massive air campaign that would lead the the iranian people to take to the streets take to

00:08:34.740 the streets and overthrow this theocratic group of demons that has not happened one of the principal

00:08:41.300 reason is has not happened because that saturday night shifted this war from a war of potential

00:08:46.960 liberation for these people to overthrow it to they are now uh they have consolidated around

00:08:53.020 persian nationalism to say hey if the americans and the israelis going to come at us then we got

00:08:57.820 to come together as a country and we got these demons running us but these guys are worse demons

00:09:03.300 because they firebombed us like dresden uh and they obviously are not going to leave any oil

00:09:08.080 resources for us to deal with this is why this attack last night they've already been warned

00:09:12.920 and then they lied about it they said oh no president trump authorized it president trump

00:09:17.560 said right there i didn't authorize it and bb said right then oh well upon further review yeah

00:09:22.560 we just kind of went no no no he says president trump said no you got that order a week ago

00:09:28.300 you got that order a week ago and we gotta we gotta have a a a come to jesus as we go through

00:09:37.460 and say exactly, because Dan Sr. walked through it on CNN a week or so ago. This is a joint

00:09:43.980 targeting exercise. They're actually in CENTCOM's targeting. I think we're in theirs. There can be

00:09:49.960 no mistake. This is where they're absolutely doing things that are outside what we feel is necessary

00:09:57.080 to prosecute this war from a military's perspective. And this ought to be at the

00:10:02.280 highest level. We have to understand we're calling the shots. They're not calling the

00:10:06.820 shots. And I'm not talking about how we got in here and whose intelligence being given, etc.

00:10:11.580 I'm talking something that we're now dragging. The center of gravity of this war has shifted to the

00:10:16.920 Gulf radically. And now we're upending capital markets. And quite frankly, you could see the

00:10:22.240 fall of Qatar. And I'm no fan of Qatar. They're financing the Muslim Brotherhood. I can't stand

00:10:26.280 Qatar. But in this war, President Trump is deemed and the American high command has deemed that

00:10:32.260 they're an ally. Jordan Conradson, your thoughts, sir? Yeah, exactly, Steve. You know, you would

00:10:39.400 hope that America is in charge of the objectives of this war. You know, you look at Israel,

00:10:45.460 you really think they're going to take on the Iranian regime without U.S.'s support? I mean,

00:10:50.180 that's like the state of New Jersey going against a landmass the size of Alaska. And the fact that

00:10:57.280 they're kind of acting in their own objectives and interests. It just shows that they, you know,

00:11:02.300 it just seems like they really don't have any respect for us. And then you've got Netanyahu

00:11:06.560 talking about ground troops. You've got Lindsey Graham cheerleading for that while Netanyahu goes

00:11:12.480 after Hezbollah in Lebanon. And it's just very confusing. Is our goal Iran? Is it Lebanon? Is it

00:11:24.460 attacking Iranian military bases? Is it securing the Strait of Hormuz or is it going after

00:11:29.580 different targets in Iran like Israel has been doing? Jordan, you're following this. I mean,

00:11:36.020 you're of the Pentagon, you're at the White House, you're following this very closely.

00:11:39.240 Maybe I missed it. Is that the first time when we heard about the uprising in the streets and the

00:11:45.400 people that he talked about? Oh, yeah, well, you can't have a revolution just by the air. You have

00:11:50.020 to have ground troops. Is that the first time you've heard that? Because we follow this pretty

00:11:55.080 damn closely here. And that's the first time I've heard that now that we're in this for a couple of

00:11:59.180 weeks. Is that the first time you heard that? That is the first time I've heard it from Netanyahu.

00:12:03.900 But just the other day, I'm seeing reports from Reuters saying that four U.S. officials,

00:12:09.480 including two intelligence officials, are saying that Trump is considering the deployment of

00:12:14.060 thousands of ground troops along the Strait of Hormuz in Karg Island. And, you know, again,

00:12:19.420 hang on hang on hang on hang hang on hang on full stop full stop whether it's getting the

00:12:26.400 nuclear material or whether it's taking karg island the military and even some of the coastline

00:12:30.940 which i'm saying hey is an expeditionary force those are additional things people are talking

00:12:36.040 about i i disagree with putting combat troops in there but that's what what what what netanyahu's

00:12:42.740 doing is the bait and switch he ain't talking about that that's not talking about karg island

00:12:46.900 and is not talking about the he's saying to support a revolution nobody's ever done it from

00:12:51.480 the air you need you need ground troops yo dude that's the first time i've heard this you've been

00:12:55.800 cheerleading for this thing which a lot of people think is kind of remote because they're not going

00:13:00.740 to be that excited about israel uh as as pete hexa said looking up and seeing the american flag and

00:13:07.400 the star david flag flying over and dropping bombs they may not be running in the streets no no no

00:13:12.420 You know, Carg Island, the coast, the the the the nuclear material was agree or disagree.

00:13:19.940 Those are separate items. Now he's running up the flagpole and see who salutes.

00:13:23.600 So then Lindsay can get a couple of bourbon and branches in him and run down to the floor of the Senate and start talking about Israel.

00:13:29.980 Yes, we need for a revolution. We're going to need we're going to need ground troops.

00:13:34.500 This is a first. OK, this is how this thing's playing.

00:13:37.720 They're trying to it's a psyop. They're going to throw it out there.

00:13:40.600 And the next thing you know, of course we said that.

00:13:42.460 We talked about that a long time ago, didn't we?

00:13:45.480 Jordan, where do people go and get you doing yeoman's work over there?

00:13:48.560 I told Jim Hoff today, your questions are just point blank and require answers.

00:13:53.920 I'm not so sure we got an answer today.

00:13:55.620 We didn't get an acceptable answer.

00:13:57.740 Where do people go to get your writing at Gateway Pundit and where they go to find you on social media?

00:14:04.280 Thanks, Steve.

00:14:04.960 You can find me at the Gateway Pundit.

00:14:06.500 That's where all my articles are under Jordan Conradson on social media.

00:14:10.600 jordan jordan conradson at conradson jordan every platform

00:14:14.900 jordan you know i'm so proud of you it wasn't that many years ago that you were

00:14:20.720 hassling election officials in america katie hobbs when they're trying to go through the

00:14:25.940 katie hobbs you're you're now the governor when you're shaking her down great work sir uh you've

00:14:33.120 uh you've really you're coming you're leveling up all the time so fantastic good to have you on here

00:14:38.140 thank you steve thank you for having me it's it's so great to see that generation they've been in

00:14:44.160 the trenches fighting and you just see them getting better and better and better philip patrick

00:14:47.780 the cutterese and i'm no fan of the cutterese they're they're the railhead of the muslim

00:14:54.100 brotherhood but hey whether you like it or not they're on our side of the football when a country

00:14:59.660 like that with that gas field that supplies so much to europe says the words force majeure comes

00:15:06.160 across their lips. The world, and they're talking about, we may not, we're talking about contracts

00:15:11.940 five years out. Does that get the world's attention, sir? Yeah, I think the world is

00:15:19.080 certainly waking up at the moment. Financial markets are going crazy at the moment. We saw

00:15:25.160 Brent crude go over $119 a barrel today briefly, and then I think it settled back down. But this

00:15:32.500 is the game the iranians want to play right this is asymmetric warfare they are very good at it

00:15:37.600 they have no ability to affect us militarily so they're waging economic warfare they're dragging

00:15:43.460 in our middle east partners they know exactly how to hit us and so so far it's been effective

00:15:49.520 i have to say it looks like we are waging a very efficient and effective military campaign

00:15:55.920 their economic warfare is now shaking global markets and we're starting to see the ripple

00:16:01.400 effects um so they're asymmetric look our military and the deep what they call the defanging decline

00:16:09.160 what captain finnell tells us i don't think it'd be going better and you got to remember folks

00:16:13.240 every time they come on every day is more intense than the day before this is how hard they're

00:16:19.000 hitting the uh iranian military and command and control people would think in this situation we

00:16:24.520 say flight to quality go to the dollar they're talking about inflation now about what uh pal

00:16:29.300 said yesterday and pal people should know i think pal's hanging on there i think he's dug in and

00:16:34.840 he's going to grab a governorship he's going to grab a governorship and he's going to be a nightmare

00:16:40.200 over the federal reserve because i think he's got a vendetta now against president trump when you've

00:16:45.220 got a flight to quality of the dollar in a global situation like this people naturally think gold's

00:16:49.560 going to go through the roof walk to me we you know it's not about the price of gold any one day

00:16:53.720 But the converging factors with gold as a hedge, what's your assessment right now?

00:17:00.300 Yeah, it's been very interesting.

00:17:01.940 And as you rightly point out, the initial response from financial markets was a flight

00:17:06.180 to the US dollar, which is actually very good news.

00:17:09.260 It shows us that the US dollar still has reserve currency instincts or reflexes.

00:17:14.720 The flip side is borrowing rates on debt also went up.

00:17:18.800 And historically, they moved together.

00:17:21.380 So that's sort of the quirk.

00:17:22.680 On the back of that, we've seen over the last week, obviously, gold prices getting hit fairly hard.

00:17:28.600 That typically happens, by the way, when the dollar strengthens, right?

00:17:32.020 Gold and the dollar are inverse.

00:17:34.220 That's a two-way street.

00:17:35.760 Today was a rough day, gold down about 4%.

00:17:38.040 And that's the seventh straight daily decline.

00:17:41.360 Investors, I think, broadly are fearing that central banks are going to turn more hawkish.

00:17:45.800 We're seeing that with the Federal Reserve's decision to hold rates yesterday, I think.

00:17:50.340 And the dollar, as I mentioned, has strengthened slightly since the start of the year.

00:17:54.080 It's up 1%.

00:17:54.980 But we have to get perspective and we have to zoom out.

00:17:59.340 Since January 1st of this year, gold's up 7.4%.

00:18:03.380 But nobody really wants to talk about that.

00:18:06.420 Of course, the instinct naturally is to talk about why it's down today.

00:18:10.560 And I think the short-term movement says more about positioning.

00:18:13.700 It's profit-taking.

00:18:15.060 It's higher real-rate anxiety than it does about the longer-term case for gold.

00:18:20.340 Now, I want to go into a little bit more detail there, but before I do, I want to just touch on something very important, maybe the single most important thing when it comes to investing in financial markets, and that is that short-term price action is a distraction at best and misleading at worst.

00:18:39.340 And I think in this case, it's the latter.

00:18:41.800 I think it was legendary investor Ben Graham that said, in the short run, markets are voting machines, and in the long run, they are weighing machines.

00:18:49.640 I think today's sell-off is happening because investors fear that inflation rising, and the Iran war is certainly inflationary, are going to mean that rates are going to be higher for longer.

00:19:01.100 Ironically, though, it's exactly that kind of policy trap that supports gold prices longer term.

00:19:07.800 But longer term is key, not day by day.

00:19:11.100 Look, I get asked the question all the time, why did gold drop today, right?

00:19:16.240 My response is always this. What has changed fundamentally in the world? Did debt levels go

00:19:23.760 down? The answer is no. Did geopolitical risks disappear? Of course, the answer is no. Did

00:19:29.220 central banks gain room now to cut rates and normalize the financial system? The answer is

00:19:35.040 also no as well. In fact, the opposite is happening. We've seen oil prices surging. We see

00:19:41.280 inflation risks worsening and central banks today are more trapped not less so i think the recent

00:19:47.780 price moves in gold and silver come out come amid a sort of broader risk off sentiment and

00:19:53.440 what i want to tell people is the case for gold is not that it goes up every day right that's not

00:20:00.000 how it works at all the case for gold is that in a world of unimaginable debt levels sticky

00:20:06.160 inflation, questionable economic prospects, and geopolitical uncertainty, gold remains

00:20:11.880 one of the very few assets outside of the debt-based system that we can rely on.

00:20:17.200 So, you know, to quote Steve Forbes, this isn't a momentum trade, this is a sort of

00:20:22.360 financial insurance.

00:20:23.560 And I think the biggest mistake people make is to judge a strategic hedge by a week's

00:20:28.860 tape.

00:20:30.160 The gold's job is not to win every news cycle, it's to be a foundation regardless

00:20:35.320 of the headlines. And I think it's going to continue to do that longer term. So I just

00:20:40.120 want to tell people, stay calm. The long term prospects are strong. We're going to see some

00:20:45.860 volatility broadly, but I think this is to be expected. I want to give the how people get in

00:20:54.340 touch with you and talk to you and your team. One thing, there was either a rumor or maybe

00:20:58.520 there's a news blip that Saudi Arabia having to shut in some of their facilities may be forced

00:21:04.400 to sell some of the kingdom's gold to pay for operating expenses for the kingdom?

00:21:09.520 Have you heard anything like that?

00:21:10.640 And if that happened to be true, what impact would that have?

00:21:15.240 Look, I mean, I think it's just a reflection of just how tough things are.

00:21:20.340 The Saudis selling gold to sort of free up cash reserves just, I mean, first of all,

00:21:26.900 it's doubtful.

00:21:28.120 I haven't heard the reports myself, but if they are, it just shows us how tough things

00:21:32.600 are broadly.

00:21:33.360 But like I said, fundamentals for precious metals haven't changed at all.

00:21:38.120 They're strengthening every single day, but nothing's going to go up in a straight line.

00:21:42.360 There's a lot of confusion.

00:21:43.760 There's a lot of uncertainty.

00:21:45.180 As you were saying before, nobody really understands the extent of this conflict, how long it's going to drag on.

00:21:51.180 And I think the longer it does, the better it'll be for gold prices long term.

00:21:57.820 Now, Bibi, I mean, one of the positive things came out of Bibi's press conference.

00:22:01.860 He said, hey, I think people have misread this.

00:22:04.040 I think this conflict will end much more quickly than people think.

00:22:09.100 And he was pretty adamant about that.

00:22:11.360 I want people to be able to get to you now more than ever and understand why gold has been a hedge of times of financial turbulence and also why it's turning into more of a financial asset like it was in the 19th century.

00:22:25.200 Where do people go, Philip?

00:27:23.760 Make sure you're one of them.

00:27:25.120 It's already required by a whole host of other laws, most familiar to most Americans

00:27:31.840 would be in the labor and employment context, where every time you start a new job as an

00:27:37.020 American citizen in the United States as an employee, you have to fill out an I-9 form

00:27:42.080 and you have to provide a very specific set of documents to establish citizenship.

00:27:48.140 You may do so with a U.S. passport establishing citizenship.

00:27:51.440 If you don't have a U.S. passport, you may do so with a birth certificate.

00:27:57.120 Together with a photo ID, a social security card can also come into play, but it's a fairly

00:28:03.220 limited set.

00:28:05.280 What we have established in this bill is far more flexible than that.

00:28:09.400 We've added a bunch of other documents.

00:28:12.440 We've tried to be as expansive and as inclusive as humanly possible in order to do that.

00:28:17.940 And then we've provided a failsafe, a failsafe that I have yet to hear any of my colleagues

00:28:21.980 across the aisle referred to when making these very aggressive accusations that this is a

00:28:25.820 poll tax, this is Jim Crow 2.0, that this is going to disenfranchise women or people

00:28:30.740 of particular racial minorities.

00:28:32.060 It's just not true.

00:28:32.860 They're ignoring the existence of the provision that begins on line 22, page 12 of the bill

00:28:40.840 and continues on to the next page, which says that if for any reason or no reason at all,

00:28:46.200 You don't have the necessary documents, any of them or all of them.

00:28:51.400 You have none of them.

00:28:52.740 You can still handle this by an affidavit that you can write out,

00:28:56.480 thus putting the burden on the state to confirm or refute

00:28:59.920 the underlying facts establishing your citizenship,

00:29:03.260 whether through natural-born citizen status

00:29:08.620 by virtue of the circumstances at your birth,

00:29:11.360 at the time of your birth, making you a citizen,

00:29:13.140 or the circumstances that led to your naturalization,

00:29:16.900 if you're a naturalized citizen.

00:29:18.820 That does not cost anyone a single dollar,

00:29:21.780 and it puts the burden on the state to track down the necessary background

00:29:25.720 so that the state can certify you.

00:29:27.500 So these arguments are not only missing the point,

00:29:31.940 they become aggressively wrong

00:29:35.160 to the point of just being flat-out false,

00:29:39.020 demonstrably false.

00:29:42.640 And so we can hear this over and over and over again,

00:29:45.200 but it doesn't change the fact that in the bill,

00:29:48.300 nobody's charged a thing to vote, not one person.

00:29:52.620 And so when we hear about this being costly,

00:29:54.480 that just isn't true.

00:29:57.340 Likewise, another comment was made

00:30:00.720 by my colleague from Delaware

00:30:03.080 referring to a vote by mail provision,

00:30:08.220 referring to some more sweeping changes

00:30:10.620 that are made in a separate amendment

00:30:12.740 that are not part of this bill right now.

00:30:15.120 This bill has two principal provisions.

00:30:17.580 One deals with establishing proof of citizenship

00:30:20.480 at the time of voter registration.

00:30:22.480 The other deals with photo ID at the time of voting.

00:30:26.740 This one doesn't do that.

00:30:27.740 Yes, one or more amendments have been filed

00:30:30.400 that would expand that to include

00:30:31.860 some significant restrictions on mail-in balloting,

00:30:33.800 but that is not what's being debated on the floor right now.

00:30:36.260 I've got no objection to anybody wanting to raise those now,

00:30:39.020 given that amendments have been filed.

00:30:40.620 and there's been some talk of this, but just to be clear, the bill on the floor doesn't contain

00:30:46.500 those. I also need to respond to a couple of more egregious points that were made by the

00:30:52.220 preceding senator, the senator from Michigan. Among other things, she repeated some of the same

00:30:59.500 false accusations that this would somehow disenfranchise married women. It absolutely

00:31:06.780 emphatically would not. In addition to making it very easy for somebody who's got all the

00:31:12.080 other documentation but maybe doesn't have a marriage certificate backing up the name change

00:31:17.620 or maybe they're missing all of them. Again, you go back to page 12, line 22. Any person,

00:31:23.600 whether they've changed their name or are missing some of their documentation or all of it, may

00:31:28.600 establish it by affidavit, putting the burden back on the state elections official. The Center for

00:31:34.000 Michigan also made some curious claims with regard to the Constitution, with regard to

00:31:38.660 federalism, and the relationship between states and the federal government. Among other things,

00:31:46.000 she insisted that the founding fathers, those who wrote the Constitution and those who ratified it,

00:31:51.720 were emphatic about the fact that they did not want, as she put it, the federal government

00:31:58.580 running elections. Well, there is some truth to that, but her ultimate conclusion is 180 degrees

00:32:05.420 opposite of what the Constitution says and what they did and what the words say. So it's very

00:32:13.660 important for us to do this to make sure that we're talking about the same things. So if you go

00:32:18.640 to the Constitution, go to Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1, it doesn't talk about it because it

00:32:26.780 doesn't need to talk about, states conducting their own elections for state offices. That goes

00:32:32.640 without saying that the states are in charge of that. But it does talk in Article 1, Section 4,

00:32:38.660 Clause 1, about the fact that the state governments will be in charge of setting up rules and

00:32:45.540 regulations governing the conduct of elections for federal officials. And it also says right after

00:32:52.940 that in the very same sentence, quote, but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter

00:32:59.760 such regulations, and that is what we are doing here. Because these involve federal offices,

00:33:07.860 we have the authority to set important terms and conditions specifically for federal offices. It's

00:33:14.100 not that we are encroaching on any constitutional power. This is our power. It may lay dormant in

00:33:20.300 so far as we choose not to exercise it, but it's not currently dormant, and in fact, we've legislated

00:33:26.300 on a number of occasions, and there are at least four, five, maybe six major pieces of existing

00:33:31.600 federal law that deal specifically with the state's conduct of federal elections, separate and apart

00:33:40.520 from another very serious federal criminal penalty that makes it a felony for a non-citizen to vote

00:33:47.620 in a U.S. election.

00:33:50.340 So in all these respects, the Congress can, it may,

00:33:54.000 it is expressly authorized to legislate,

00:33:56.500 and it has indeed legislated.

00:33:58.760 Among other things, it's legislated with the NVRA,

00:34:01.260 passed in 1993.

00:34:03.340 It is the NVRA specifically,

00:34:05.600 and the manner in which it's been interpreted

00:34:07.720 by the Supreme Court and implemented,

00:34:10.020 that necessitates these provisions,

00:34:12.660 specifically the citizenship provisions

00:34:14.340 of the Safe America Act.

00:34:16.120 because but for the Supreme Court's ruling in Arizona

00:34:19.760 versus Intertribal Council of Arizona in 2013,

00:34:23.700 a case decided some 20 years after the NVRA was enacted by Congress in 1993,

00:34:29.680 the court in that case said the states may not even inquire into someone's citizenship,

00:34:35.340 may not require proof of it,

00:34:37.100 even where they suspect that some voters might be non-citizens.

00:34:42.280 Now, that interpretation was wrong.

00:34:44.040 It was contrary to the text, to the structure, to the original public meaning of that statute.

00:34:49.220 It was wrong, but it's nonetheless conclusive.

00:34:51.040 It's a majority opinion of the Supreme Court.

00:34:52.840 It hasn't been overturned, and that's why this is necessary.

00:34:56.600 So to call this a federalism problem, to call this an overreach by the United States government

00:35:02.080 into the exclusive domain of the states is literally not true.

00:35:06.480 Why?

00:35:06.900 Well, because in the first place, the Constitution itself makes it federal, and it's necessarily

00:35:12.800 federal.

00:35:13.320 I would add to that that that's even more important here because this bleeds into another one of the federal government's exclusive powers and exclusive abilities, namely the ability to identify and ascertain the citizenship of any American citizen.

00:35:30.400 That is not the role of the states, nor do the states have the comprehensive databases that the federal government does have.

00:35:36.940 The federal government has the ability conclusively to determine whether or not somebody is a citizen.

00:35:42.120 The states do not, and that's yet another important reason

00:35:44.860 for us to make that determination.

00:35:47.220 It's also relevant that this is where we get into trouble

00:35:50.320 with a number of these blue states,

00:35:53.160 the Democrat governors and Democrat legislature states

00:35:57.000 that are refusing even to talk to the federal authorities

00:36:00.880 who run the SAVE database within the Department of Homeland Security.

00:36:04.540 Remember, it is against the law for a non-citizen to vote

00:36:07.640 in a federal election, and that's why we have these laws

00:36:11.420 and these systems and this database, the saved database already set up, and yet a number

00:36:15.860 of these blue states, a whole lot of them, are refusing even to talk to federal authorities,

00:36:20.540 even to share with them what, if anything, that they're doing to make sure that non-citizens

00:36:26.140 are not voting in U.S. elections.

00:36:29.060 This has become a problem of especially great concern in recent years, given that in some

00:36:34.620 states, a handful, at least four or five states in the District of Columbia, now have in place

00:36:40.120 systems where in some local elections within their state's jurisdiction, non-citizens are

00:36:45.720 openly, by state law, allowed to vote in those elections. Therefore, when they register to vote,

00:36:50.680 they have a voter registration file. Basic questions have been asked to them. How do you

00:36:54.780 differentiate those who are non-citizens, who have registered to vote in your state,

00:36:59.940 and how do you make sure that they don't get ballots to vote in a federal election, for example,

00:37:05.360 for a U.S. House of Representatives race or a U.S. Senate race? They have refused to answer the

00:37:09.620 question, they have refused to cooperate. They have hidden these details. These are important

00:37:13.380 details, details that we have constitutional authority, a moral obligation, and a legal

00:37:18.440 obligation to look into to make sure that our laws are faithfully executed, and they refuse

00:37:23.360 utterly to cooperate. If that's not chilling, I don't know what is. My friend and colleague from

00:37:29.500 Michigan also implied that there is a, I don't know, some sort of a de minimis marginal concern

00:37:36.060 about, in her state and in every other state,

00:37:39.600 about non-citizens registering to vote.

00:37:41.520 Oh, it happens every once in a while,

00:37:43.000 somebody gets in there, we remove them.

00:37:44.880 Well, let's remember, I mean, I looked up some articles on this,

00:37:48.800 and I've got one right here from a publication

00:37:52.020 called The Michigan Bridge.

00:37:54.500 One of the ways that they found a handful

00:37:57.460 of non-citizens registered to vote

00:37:59.040 was in a sort of haphazard way.

00:38:01.760 They found 15 just by doing something very simple.

00:38:05.260 They compared a list of people who had gone into court

00:38:08.260 after being summoned for jury duty.

00:38:10.720 Jury duty, remember, typically turns on what they call the wheel,

00:38:15.060 a random selection from among registered voters in the jurisdiction.

00:38:18.360 You're called up if you're a registered voter, randomly,

00:38:21.020 to serve in jury duty.

00:38:23.000 Periodically, in Michigan and in many other states,

00:38:26.440 people will show up for jury duty.

00:38:27.980 There are all kinds of tricks that people use to try to avoid jury duty

00:38:30.560 if they don't want to.

00:38:31.880 Well, this one may or may not be a trick in some circumstances,

00:38:35.260 and in many circumstances it wasn't.

00:38:37.360 People were truthfully saying, I'm not a citizen,

00:38:40.000 therefore I may not, must not, cannot, will not serve as a juror.

00:38:44.300 So somebody came up with the idea, let's compare,

00:38:47.220 I think there were a list of, I don't know, 250 or so

00:38:49.680 who happened to have made that argument.

00:38:52.020 Then they compared them against Michigan's voter registration database,

00:38:55.340 and they found that at least 15 of those individuals

00:38:57.760 were non-citizens who had registered to vote.

00:39:01.340 That is a far cry from saying that there are only 15 non-citizens registered to vote in

00:39:05.700 the state of Michigan.

00:39:06.740 When you consider the haphazard, random way in which they found this out, one would suggest

00:39:12.600 that not only that there could be more, but that there likely are a lot more, because

00:39:17.220 most people aren't getting called in for jury duty, and most who are aren't necessarily

00:39:20.780 invoking this defense of, I can't serve, I won't serve, I may not serve, because I am

00:39:25.280 not a U.S. citizen.

00:39:27.640 Finally, with regard to the federalism point,

00:39:29.540 I find it very curious that this argument continues to surface,

00:39:32.980 and it surfaces in particular from our Democratic colleagues.

00:39:37.400 And the reason I say that is that all of a sudden

00:39:39.740 they're very concerned about federalism,

00:39:41.340 about maintaining the sanctity of the distinction

00:39:43.940 between that which is state authority and that which is federal.

00:39:46.740 That's important to me.

00:39:47.980 I focus on a few things more than that.

00:39:50.760 I think the core structural provisions of the Constitution,

00:39:53.640 the vertical protection that we call federalism,

00:39:55.620 and the horizontal protection that we call separation of powers

00:39:58.540 are as important as any other feature in the Constitution.

00:40:01.820 And when we deviate from those, we cause all kinds of ripples downstream.

00:40:06.520 So I'm very sensitive to these issues.

00:40:08.040 I want to avoid any semblance of trampling on state sovereign authority.

00:40:12.420 This, sir, is not that.

00:40:14.940 And especially when we hear this from those who just a few years ago,

00:40:19.040 during the Congress, it ranged between January 3rd, 2021,

00:40:23.240 and January 3rd, 2023,

00:40:28.180 in which both chambers in Congress were controlled by Democrats

00:40:32.000 and we had a Democratic president, President Biden.

00:40:35.000 During that time, they supported legislation known as H.R.1.

00:40:38.940 Now, if you want to see a federal takeover of elections,

00:40:41.940 H.R.1 was that.

00:40:43.540 It was vast. It was sweeping.

00:40:45.840 It covered all sorts of things

00:40:47.200 that the federal government has no business taking over in elections.

00:40:50.840 Among other things,

00:40:51.560 it would have designated every single voting jurisdiction

00:40:55.340 and the entire United States of America,

00:40:58.160 regardless of what part of the country they're in,

00:41:00.280 regardless of what, if any, history they may have had

00:41:03.000 with past de facto or de jure discrimination

00:41:06.460 or segregation of their state,

00:41:08.100 subjected them all to preclearance,

00:41:10.460 meaning any time they passed any law

00:41:12.000 affecting the way votes were cast,

00:41:13.700 precincts were drawn, or otherwise,

00:41:15.320 they would have to go to a political appointee,

00:41:17.440 a Democratic political appointee

00:41:18.940 inside the Department of Justice

00:41:20.220 to seek a mother may I,

00:41:22.880 an advance blessing from the federal sovereign

00:41:25.500 before they could make those changes.

00:41:27.440 That, Mr. President, is a violation of federalism.

00:41:30.180 And that is something that, last I checked,

00:41:32.280 every Democrat who now serves in the Senate,

00:41:34.420 who was here at the time, supported.

00:41:37.000 So I'm sorry to count me surprised

00:41:39.820 that they would make the federalism argument now

00:41:42.360 in reference to a bill that focuses solely,

00:41:46.400 exclusively on powers

00:41:48.000 that the federal government does in fact have.

00:41:51.320 And in fact, the only reason this bill is necessary, Mr. President,

00:41:54.760 is because of existing federal law, the way it's been interpreted,

00:41:58.480 and the way that it's being implemented.

00:42:00.120 That's the only reason we need any of this.

00:42:02.700 That is not a federalism problem.

00:42:05.140 That, Mr. President, is an appropriate exercise of federal power.

00:42:08.540 We do just as much violence to federalism

00:42:11.960 when we deny to the federal sovereign the ability to exercise federal power

00:42:16.700 as we do when we do the same to the states.

00:42:19.320 Thank you.

00:42:24.300 Okay, let me go to Cleta Mitchell.

00:42:28.820 Cleta, that was 630.

00:42:31.960 Is that actually putting the bill on?

00:42:33.820 Are they, what are they talking about now, ma'am?

00:42:37.200 Well, I just was texting with Senator Lee's staff,

00:42:43.560 and there are a couple more speakers,

00:42:45.700 but they're supposed to be putting this Who Stead bill on the floor in the next little bit.

00:42:52.640 But, you know, two or three speakers in the Senate can be a lifetime.

00:42:59.080 So so we just tell us what's up.

00:43:01.940 But explain to the audience what's happened.

00:43:04.040 Who's that's going to put it up?

00:43:05.280 But it's it's calling the bluff of Schumer, knowing that they've gone for just a couple of days.

00:43:10.700 And already because of the Warren Posse and others being forced multipliers and taking clips and putting them out there on social media, the Democrats understand they don't have a good argument on any of a particular thing that jumps off the page.

00:43:25.460 they have no argument about voter ID.

00:43:31.300 And so what Mike Lee and Thune and these strategists are thinking

00:43:36.240 and who's going to come up, let's carve out that part of it and put it up.

00:43:40.920 Now, Tommy Tuberville told us that he thinks they're five or six votes short of the 53.

00:43:47.740 He doesn't think they get to 50 to even have a J.D. break it

00:43:50.380 because he says a bunch of these guys just don't think

00:43:53.620 there should be any federal involvement in these elections.

00:43:57.400 Your thoughts, you're an expert in this, ma'am.

00:43:59.380 What's your answer to those senators that may be a little jiggy about getting on top

00:44:05.240 of this bill, this new one?

00:44:07.100 Well, if those senators, and I see Lisa Murkowski speaking, please don't turn up, I can't bear

00:44:11.780 to hear her, but she'll say that.

00:44:16.080 So, okay, how long have you been in the Senate, Senator Murkowski?

00:44:18.880 Why don't you introduce a bill to repeal all five of the federal laws that control our elections?

00:44:26.520 How about repealing the Federal Election Records Act?

00:44:29.380 You want to repeal the National Voter Registration Act?

00:44:32.300 Senator McConnell voted against it in 1993.

00:44:35.080 Where's his bill to repeal the NVRA?

00:44:38.700 It's the one that keeps us from being able to clean voter rolls.

00:44:41.760 It's the one that requires that when you go to the DMV, you get asked to register to vote.

00:44:46.780 And now then they're just using that to just dump everybody who shows up at the DMV into the voter rolls, whether they ask you or not.

00:44:55.320 And you read the fine print in the VRA and there you have it.

00:44:59.080 That's what it says.

00:44:59.880 An application for a driver's license shall be deemed to be an application to register to vote.

00:45:05.360 I didn't know that.

00:45:06.200 Did you know that?

00:45:06.860 I thought they had to ask.

00:45:07.800 They don't have to ask.

00:45:09.060 That's a federal law.

00:45:10.020 Why are they not trying to repeal that?

00:45:11.740 So I'm not buying this wah, wah, wah about this is federal government.

00:45:16.300 encroaching on the states because it's the federal government's already been encroaching

00:45:21.060 on the states. How about after the 2000 presidential election, the 2000 presidential

00:45:26.080 election, when Congress came in and in a bipartisan bill because the Democrats were so mad about Al

00:45:33.000 Gore losing, they introduced and passed a law to help America vote at it. You know what that did?

00:45:39.000 that told every jurisdiction in America, you cannot use punch cards for voting. You cannot

00:45:46.720 use the old lever machines. You know, you pull down the lever and the Congress appropriated

00:45:52.140 billions of dollars and told the states, you got to have these electronic voting machines.

00:45:57.660 That was Congress that did that. That was not the states. That was Congress that did that.

00:46:02.320 All these problems we have, you have Garland Favorito who comes on to warm often. Garland

00:46:07.780 was not ever even involved in elections. He was a computer expert, and he saw what was happening,

00:46:14.840 and he said, oh my gosh, that is totally insecure. That is a terrible thing to do

00:46:19.960 in elections. He started worrying about that back in 2003, right when the Help America Vote Act was

00:46:25.980 passed by Congress. So don't cry me these crocodile tears about how this is encroaching

00:46:31.180 on the states. This is trying to repair the damage that Congress has done and has not corrected

00:46:38.700 for many decades. So, you know, look, we have 50 commitments, commitments from 50 United States

00:46:47.060 senators who are publicly on record as saying they will support the Save America Act. Now,

00:46:53.380 they may be lying and they may say that they are going to support it. We don't have that many who

00:46:58.540 said they support the talking filibuster but we do have 50 commitments who've signed on to support

00:47:03.280 the bill well but but here but okay but here's i think what hang on i think what tuberville's

00:47:07.780 talking about correct me if you're wrong if they strip this out and put it up this is actually a

00:47:12.800 real vote vote because even the ones said they were 50 if they know that's not going to go to

00:47:17.820 the talking filibuster and that they're not going to break cloture it's a free vote they're not

00:47:23.380 really stuck with it right it's just it's impressionistic it's not real this one tonight

00:47:28.520 could be real this tonight is real i mean he senator hostett is going to put on the floor

00:47:35.320 a bill it's called i learned about this this afternoon i never heard of this they're going

00:47:39.100 to hotline a bill which means they're going to take a provision of a bill that's on the floor

00:47:43.860 offered as an amendment as a freestanding bill it's going to be introduced as a freestanding bill

00:47:49.240 It's going to take the entire section on voter ID, just exactly the way it's written, which is really important because it cleans up a lot of mischief where states have what they call ID and it really isn't.

00:48:00.860 But it would put that on the floor and he's going to ask for unanimous consent and see if the Democrats object.

00:48:06.740 Who will object to that?

00:48:08.320 That's going to be very interesting.

00:48:09.700 and they'll have a vote, and we'll see how many Republicans.

00:48:13.740 It's a way to find out how many Republicans and how many Democrats we have

00:48:17.640 who will vote for it and who will vote against it.

00:48:20.100 So it's an important step, and it's only happening because of people who watch War Room,

00:48:28.200 the posse, people who are paying attention, people who landed all over the Republican leadership

00:48:33.300 and said, don't you dare pull a fast one.

00:48:37.340 we're watching we know we want a real debate we want you to really talk about this and they're

00:48:43.280 doing that so i think that's really important and it gives us the opportunity to say hey let's see

00:48:50.740 who's for and against it we're gonna we're we're this is i think great and hustet's gonna put it

00:48:56.180 up from ohio uh we're gonna stream we're gonna stream the entire time um hang on for one second

00:49:46.520 We know you love the receipts.

00:49:50.000 Do I have Neil McCabe?

00:49:51.280 Is he fired up?

00:49:51.900 Neil McCabe.

00:49:52.820 Is Neil at the White House, Capitol Hill?

00:49:54.380 Where are you, Neil McCabe?

00:49:57.720 I'm at the executive mansion, Stephen.

00:50:01.180 tell me give me your thoughts you've been following this all day you were up there for a while where

00:50:07.480 are we just heard cleta mitchell breaking uh a scoop here that they're going to they're going

00:50:12.140 to do a put up or shut up with schumer they're saying oh yeah well of course we do you know

00:50:16.420 voter id but the rest of the stuff you got in here is crap we can't do it they're going to put a do

00:50:20.120 a put up or shut up senator hustet of ohio what have you been hearing up there all day

00:50:25.980 right so this afternoon i heard that there was a hotline and a hotline is when the senators

00:50:33.780 basically call around they make a hundred phone calls and they see if they can get unanimous

00:50:39.540 consent on a bill before they actually file it and so that's what they were doing today so when

00:50:46.560 you're hotlining that's basically short-circuiting the whole process and you're just going to say hey

00:50:51.900 can we just slip this thing and get it done? And, and Hosted from Ohio, as you said, he's been

00:50:57.780 leading that effort. And, you know, now I think it's a go. I mean, Schumer opened the door last

00:51:03.140 night when he told a gaggle of reporters that Democrats don't oppose voter ID. Frankly,

00:51:09.600 Dick Durbin told me the same thing just off this, the Senate floor, Steve.

00:51:15.680 So, Cleta, you just heard about the hotline and what they're doing. Why would the Democrats

00:51:21.400 do the all team all come in given that they've done not just months and months but for the last

00:51:28.080 48 72 hours they've done nothing but trash you know this is handmaid's tale half the women are

00:51:34.880 not going to vote you're not going to have anybody that had a foreign parent be able to vote they

00:51:39.140 have gone out of their way to bring up every uh everything against a voter id how can they just

00:51:45.980 flip so quickly and sign on to this ma'am well because they've been doing it not for the last

00:51:53.600 48 hours they've been doing it for the last 20 years they have fought photo id they fought voter

00:52:00.620 id they lost in the supreme court they've lost over and over again and they're not and i'm sure

00:52:06.560 how many times they say all these things the people still keep saying yep we want photo id

00:52:13.280 for voting so i think that they think that if they do that if they do this photo this photo id

00:52:20.860 that maybe they won't have to answer questions about the rest of it as far as i'm concerned

00:52:24.840 let's just keep doing it let's just keep uh let's get this let's and then see what else we can get

00:52:29.900 let's get what the president wants on absentee voting and let's get let's get the rest of it

00:52:34.840 we're not going away but this would be a big win it's already a big win

00:52:39.400 Oh, this would be a huge win.

00:52:42.460 And even to get those guys to admit it's a win.

00:52:44.380 Tavriel said by Saturday afternoon they're going to put the amendment up for the no men and women's sports.
