00:00:42.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:44.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:00:46.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:49.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:53.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:54.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:55.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:00:56.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:02.000 Turning point USA. 0.65

00:01:03.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:12.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:15.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:28.000 We are going right into action today.

00:01:30.000 Lots to do.

00:01:31.000 In the next couple of minutes, we're monitoring the feed.

00:01:34.000 The House of Representatives will be gathering after two weeks post-motion of ACAT and selecting a speaker of the House.

00:01:41.000 From day one, since this occurred, we said, Jim Jordan, Jim Jordan.

00:01:46.000 Jim Jordan's a great man.

00:01:48.000 Jim Jordan is going to change business as usual, the best of the ability he can.

00:01:53.000 And Jim Jordan is going to make a great speaker.

00:01:55.000 He's going to be able to recruit great candidates so that we can keep and expand our House majority.

00:01:59.000 He can raise the money.

00:02:01.000 Jim Jordan is a big win for the conservative grassroots movement.

00:02:05.000 I've known Jim for many years.

00:02:06.000 He's been generous to speak at our events.

00:02:08.000 He's been great on our program.

00:02:09.000 I've known Jim for a long time.

00:02:11.000 He's a true conservative.

00:02:12.000 He's a humble warrior.

00:02:14.000 And as I've said, it's refreshing to have someone become Speaker of the House that has not wanted to be Speaker of the House, like Nancy Pelosi or John Boehner their entire life.

00:02:25.000 So I think this is great.

00:02:26.000 We have to now get right into this.

00:02:28.000 Let me tell you, right now, the moderates are trying to strike back.

00:02:31.000 The moderates are saying, no, no, no, we're not going to vote for this.

00:02:33.000 They're trying to exact revenge on Ana Paulina Luna, Chip Roy, on Andy Biggs, on Rosendale, on Matt Gates.

00:02:43.000 These are the eight holdouts.

00:02:45.000 The eight holdouts.

00:02:46.000 Let's put them on screen.

00:02:47.000 Don Bakan, Mario Diaz-Bollart, Carlos Jimenez, Frank Lucas, John Rutherford, Mike Simpson, Steve Womack, and Ken Buck.

00:02:59.000 Now, what does that list have in common besides the fact that they're all like elderly men, except a couple?

00:03:05.000 You actually probably haven't heard about these people before.

00:03:07.000 And this is really important.

00:03:09.000 What's important is that Congress is divided into two groups on the Republican side.

00:03:17.000 Those people that you've heard of that go on TV a lot, and Don Bakan does that, and people that kind of just do the backdoor work.

00:03:25.000 This is largely the people that are doing insider deals.

00:03:30.000 To be perfectly honest, I know politics really well.

00:03:33.000 I don't know half these people.

00:03:34.000 John Rutherford, no idea what state he's from.

00:03:36.000 I mean, we could look it up.

00:03:38.000 Frank Lucas, Womack, I've heard of before.

00:03:40.000 I know who Ken Buck is.

00:03:41.000 I've known Ken Buck for a long time.

00:03:44.000 Ken Buck, who his political career has just been going down like the Hindenburg.

00:03:49.000 Friends with Liz Cheney, saying that we don't have the evidence to impeach Joe Biden.

00:03:55.000 I'll just say it again.

00:03:56.000 What blackmail do the Intel agencies have on Ken Buck?

00:04:00.000 It's very strange what he's doing right now.

00:04:02.000 He's a no on everything.

00:04:03.000 He's like priming himself for a CNN contributorship.

00:04:07.000 So here's the phone number that you guys can contact and call.

00:04:12.000 It's 202-225-3121 or the other one, 202-224-3121.

00:04:19.000 Let's put that number up on screen, please.

00:04:22.000 And we're able to lose a couple of these.

00:04:25.000 And Jim Jordan is going to be very, very close right up until the moment.

00:04:29.000 And we're going to stream this whole thing live as it's happening.

00:04:32.000 Call, be respectful, be polite, and be very clear that, hey, we want Jim Jordan to become Speaker of the House.

00:04:40.000 We want Jim Jordan in this new Congress.

00:04:44.000 We are running out of time, to be perfectly honest with you.

00:04:47.000 We've kind of put up with all the people venting and all this.

00:04:50.000 So Don Bacon is, or Don, I'm sorry, Don Bacon is from Nebraska.

00:04:56.000 Let's put that, yeah, this is all basically the same number, and you guys can call the switchboard.

00:05:00.000 John Rutherford is from Florida.

00:05:02.000 So if you're from Florida, give him a ring.

00:05:05.000 Ken Buck, obviously from Colorado, he seems to just not care.

00:05:08.000 Steve Womack, Mike Simpson, John Rutherford, Frank Lucas, Carlos Jimenez, Mario Diaz-Bollart.

00:05:15.000 Now, what they're doing is they're trying to show revenge against you.

00:05:22.000 They have contempt for you.

00:05:24.000 They hate that the grassroots were able to disrupt business as usual.

00:05:28.000 They do not like the Freedom Caucus.

00:05:31.000 These are the people that want open borders, that do not want structural spending cuts.

00:05:35.000 These are people that put Ukraine above America. 1.00

00:05:38.000 And Don Bakan is coming out and he's beating his chest.

00:05:42.000 And he's saying, I'm a five-time commander.

00:05:46.000 I'm not budging.

00:05:47.000 In fact, as he's beating his chest like an alpha male, we have live feed here of Don Bakan screaming at reporters.

00:05:55.000 Play cut 39.

00:05:56.000 And then you want to write articles about guys that don't do things right and downgrade them, the ones that do make plays.

00:06:02.000 Are you kidding me?

00:06:04.000 Where are we at in society today?

00:06:07.000 Come after me.

00:06:08.000 I'm a man.

00:06:09.000 I'm 40.

00:06:12.000 I'm not a kid.

00:06:13.000 Write something about me.

00:06:14.000 So get your facts straight.

00:06:17.000 And I hope someday you have a child and somebody downgrades him and belittles him and you have to look him in the eye and say, you know what?

00:06:24.000 It's okay.

00:06:25.000 They're supposed to be mature adults, but they're really not.

00:06:29.000 Who's the kid here?

00:06:31.000 Who's the kid here?

00:06:32.000 Are you kidding me?

00:06:34.000 That's all I got to say.

00:06:35.000 Makes me want to puke.

00:06:38.000 That's Mike Gundy, of course.

00:06:40.000 Actually, believe it or not, Mike Gundy was justified in that.

00:06:42.000 It just, it's one of the great quotes ever.

00:06:44.000 I'm a man, I'm 40.

00:06:45.000 That's Don Bakan saying, I'm a five-time commander and I'm not budging.

00:06:49.000 So we have in real time whether or not these people will back Jordan or are they going to make it go through another voting carousel?

00:07:00.000 We're watching very closely.

00:07:02.000 At any time right now, this is going to go to a House floor vote at any time.

00:07:08.000 Jordan will probably not get on the first ballot.

00:07:10.000 They're going to want to send a message.

00:07:12.000 You see, the moderates, they think they found a spine.

00:07:14.000 The moderates are saying, you know, yeah, no, we're actually in charge.

00:07:17.000 It's not going to go well for them.

00:07:18.000 Let me tell you.

00:07:20.000 The moderates, they're not ready for this kind of fight.

00:07:22.000 We are going to overwhelm them with phone calls.

00:07:24.000 We're going to stay very respectful, but we are not going to all of a sudden let their switchboard be silent.

00:07:30.000 We as the American grassroots, you see, the moderates, they're used to business as usual.

00:07:36.000 They're used to cocktail parties, lobbyists, corporate deals.

00:07:39.000 They're used to Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, Johnson ⁇ Johnson, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northup Grumman, Goldman Sachs, Google.

00:07:48.000 The moderates like serenity.

00:07:50.000 They don't all of a sudden like being exposed.

00:07:53.000 We're going to expose every single one of them.

00:07:56.000 Don Bacon, Mario Diaz-Bollart, Carlos Jimenez, Frank Lucas, John Rutherford, Mike Simpson, Steve Womack, Ken Buck.

00:08:04.000 And we have some hope here.

00:08:05.000 We're hearing that some of these holdouts are going to come our way when the moment comes, but we shall see.

00:08:10.000 We shall see.

00:08:12.000 You see, Don Bakan, John Rutherford, Mario Diaz-Bollart, Mike Simpson, Carlos Jimenez.

00:08:18.000 I mean, Ken Buck.

00:08:19.000 Ken Buck used to be this like rock-solid conservative, allegedly.

00:08:24.000 And now he's defecting on what aims and what goals.

00:08:28.000 So we need all of you to contact your member of Congress.

00:08:31.000 We need a grassroots push here.

00:08:33.000 So let's go through these names one by one.

00:08:35.000 Let's start with Steve Womack.

00:08:36.000 Steve Womack is from Arkansas.

00:08:38.000 Do the great people of Arkansas going to put up with this?

00:08:41.000 That he's just going to say, oh, no, no, we don't want a speaker.

00:08:43.000 Why?

00:08:43.000 Because you want more crony deals for insiders?

00:08:47.000 The fact that I've never heard of these people means that they're just constantly doing the mill.

00:08:52.000 Okay, so Steve Womack, if you're in Arkansas, call his office right now: 202-225-4301.

00:08:59.000 Mike Simpson, let's see what's going on with him.

00:09:02.000 Mike Simpson from Idaho.

00:09:04.000 The great, I mean, we have a lot of people from Idaho.

00:09:06.000 What's going on here?

00:09:07.000 The great people from Boise or Court d'Alene, Eagle, Idaho Falls, you're going to put up with this?

00:09:14.000 Mike Simpson, who's going to hold the line, his district, Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Sun Valley, Twin Falls, and nearly two-thirds of Boise.

00:09:22.000 You think that the people of Idaho want you to sit on your tail to block Jim Jordan?

00:09:26.000 Contact him right now.

00:09:28.000 202-225-5531.

00:09:30.000 How about John Rutherford?

00:09:32.000 What's going on with this guy?

00:09:34.000 John Rutherford represents Florida.

00:09:38.000 What part of Florida?

00:09:40.000 Well, let's find out.

00:09:41.000 It's a big state.

00:09:43.000 I think it's actually DeSantis' old district.

00:09:45.000 I could be wrong.

00:09:46.000 Right near Jacksonville.

00:09:48.000 Certainly looks like that.

00:09:50.000 He says on his website, the results-driven conservative leader faithfully serving Northeast Florida.

00:09:56.000 Oh, he has a picture with him and Donald Trump on the front page of his website.

00:10:01.000 Someone should call John Rutherford and remind him that Donald Trump right now wants Jim Jordan to be speaker, or does he just appropriate the picture with Trump on his website so he doesn't get primaried?

00:10:11.000 Huh?

00:10:12.000 We're going to keep on going name by name by name.

00:10:15.000 Enough.

00:10:16.000 Two weeks.

00:10:16.000 It's a disgrace.

00:10:17.000 It's a waste of time, everybody.

00:10:19.000 Get Jim Jordan a speaker and let's get back to business.

00:10:24.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:11:28.000 This is important, though.

00:11:29.000 The people that are holding out, the people that do not want Jim Jordan to be speaker, are people that you've probably never heard of outside of Don Bakan and Ken Buck.

00:11:36.000 We'll get to them.

00:11:37.000 Okay?

00:11:38.000 So let's talk about this guy, a Frank Lucas from Oklahoma.

00:11:41.000 Any Oklahoma patriots out there?

00:11:44.000 Any Oklahoma?

00:11:46.000 Frank Lucas is a fifth generation Oklahoman whose family has lived and farmed in Oklahoma for 120 years.

00:11:52.000 He's got this beautiful bio, lucas.house.gov.

00:11:55.000 He's on all these committees talking about all the great stuff he's doing.

00:12:00.000 Okay, Frank Lucas, why are you holding it up?

00:12:02.000 We've never heard of you before.

00:12:04.000 You worried that some foreign country is not going to get money if Jim Jordan is speaker?

00:12:07.000 Like, what's the reason here?

00:12:08.000 Sound like a fine guy.

00:12:10.000 Why are you getting in the way here?

00:12:11.000 Because you're mad?

00:12:12.000 Because you have like petty revenge? 0.97

00:12:14.000 Well, that's silly.

00:12:15.000 Frank Lucas.

00:12:16.000 All right, how about Carlos Jimenez?

00:12:18.000 Let's look him up.

00:12:19.000 Carlos Jimenez.

00:12:22.000 Carlos Antonio Jimenez represents Florida's 28th congressional district.

00:12:27.000 Well, where is that?

00:12:28.000 Looks like South Florida looks like almost like the Keys, Florida Keys area.

00:12:34.000 Miami-Dade County, first elected to Congress in 2020.

00:12:39.000 So a bunch of anti-communists elected Carlos Jimenez.

00:12:43.000 Do the wonderful people of Miami, the Cubans, the Venezuelans, the Colombians, and the Argentinians, do they want someone to go to Congress and hold up Jim Jordan, who would be the most effective tool against communism in the country?

00:12:56.000 Carlos Jimenez, what's the reason for this?

00:12:58.000 I guarantee you the Cubans in your district are sick of this. 1.00

00:13:02.000 They say here, first elected to Congress in 2020, he serves on the House Armed Services Committee, Homeland Security Committee, and he's trying to stop the strategic competition between the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party.

00:13:14.000 Great.

00:13:15.000 Yeah, he represents Miami, Key West, and Florida City.

00:13:20.000 Carlos Jimenez, Florida's 28th congressional district.

00:13:23.000 That's a district that we flipped, but you flipped it because your voters gave you a mandate.

00:13:31.000 Your voters wanted you to go and fight communism.

00:13:35.000 So, Carlos Jimenez, I hope you'll have a change of tune there.

00:13:39.000 How about who's next?

00:13:41.000 Ah, my man, Mario Diaz-Bollart.

00:13:44.000 I always get this guy confused with an MSNBC host.

00:13:49.000 There's an MSNBC host that looks like him, speaks like him.

00:13:53.000 You know what I'm talking about?

00:13:55.000 It looks exactly like him.

00:13:58.000 Mario Diaz-Bollart is an American politician in Florida's 26th congressional district.

00:14:04.000 Okay, well, where are you serving, Mr. Ballart?

00:14:07.000 Let's see.

00:14:08.000 Mr. Bollart is in Naples, Collier County, one of the most conservative counties in the country.

00:14:19.000 So, right now, these people, by the way, are put us in danger of a Democrat majority.

00:14:23.000 Instead of sucking up their pride, instead of saying we want what's best for the country, they might go side with Democrats.

00:14:31.000 So, Mario Diaz-Bollart, it goes from parts of Miami all the way across Florida to Collier County.

00:14:38.000 Collier County is one of the largest conservative counties in the country.

00:14:44.000 I know Collier County very well, Naples, Florida.

00:14:49.000 It's a Republican plus eight county.

00:14:51.000 A district.

00:14:52.000 Is that a district or county?

00:14:53.000 I think the county's even more than that.

00:14:55.000 The district.

00:14:57.000 So, Mario Diaz-Bollart, I'm telling you, he looks like one of those MSNBC hosts.

00:15:03.000 You'll see it.

00:15:04.000 He always talks about open borders.

00:15:05.000 That's not him.

00:15:06.000 No, there's somebody else.

00:15:08.000 It's like identical.

00:15:09.000 I don't think these two people have ever been seen at the same place at the same time.

00:15:15.000 One and the other.

00:15:17.000 Yeah, if you're in Florida, if you're in beautiful Naples, Florida, why don't you give him a ring?

00:15:20.000 202-225-3121 and say, hey, why do you want to hand the majority to Democrats?

00:15:25.000 What is this all about?

00:15:27.000 And then Don Bakan.

00:15:29.000 Man, I've known him for a while.

00:15:31.000 Okay, he's in a tough district.

00:15:32.000 I get that.

00:15:33.000 I totally get that.

00:15:34.000 He's in a Biden district.

00:15:36.000 He's in an ever-changing part of Omaha, which is becoming increasingly liberal.

00:15:42.000 But Don Bakan is pumping his chest.

00:15:45.000 I'm a five-time commander.

00:15:47.000 He's doing the wolf of Wall Street thing.

00:15:50.000 Like, okay, we got it.

00:15:51.000 You're a tough guy.

00:15:52.000 Really great, Don Bacon.

00:15:54.000 Bakan, suck it up. 0.97

00:15:55.000 Vote for Jim Jordan.

00:15:56.000 Get back on your committee.

00:15:57.000 Impeach Joe Biden.

00:15:59.000 Either you fulfill the mandate of your voters or you're just going to go be a Democrat.

00:16:03.000 And I think some of these guys actually, I think that, let me just read this right here.

00:16:08.000 I think that this group of people actually secretly would love a coalition government.

00:16:13.000 Inside source, unsure Jim Jordan will get it on the first ballot.

00:16:16.000 There'll be a group of people who will vote against him on one ballot, but are open to switching after.

00:16:23.000 Hey, everybody, Mike Lindellis, a passion to help you get the best sleep of your life.

00:17:20.000 So I've learned the reason why they look so similar, Mr. Diaz Bollart, is their brothers.

00:17:27.000 Jose Diaz-Bollart, and what's the other one?

00:17:29.000 Mario or something?

00:17:31.000 Diaz-Bollart.

00:17:32.000 Is it Mario?

00:17:33.000 Oh, yeah.

00:17:34.000 Mario and Jose.

00:17:35.000 They look so similar because they're actually brothers.

00:17:37.000 So that would make sense.

00:17:39.000 So let's go through the list again.

00:17:40.000 Here are people that think they're better than you.

00:17:42.000 Don Bakan, John Rutherford, Mario Diaz-Bollart, Mike Simpson, Carlos Jimenez, Steve Womack, Frank Lucas, and Ken Buck.

00:17:50.000 They're trying to get in the way of Jim Jordan becoming speaker.

00:17:53.000 And Don Bakan is beating his chest, trying to show how tough he is.

00:17:58.000 Play cut 41.

00:18:11.000 Come on.

00:18:17.000 With a common denominator.

00:18:28.000 Keep it up on me.

00:18:29.000 CEO.

00:18:31.000 The money comes in.

00:18:33.000 The parade comes to town.

00:18:35.000 Going down Broadway is a one-way street, whichever way I go.

00:18:40.000 That's Don Bakan getting ready for the day for the speaker fight.

00:18:44.000 That's him with his fellow moderate, probably Rutherford.

00:18:49.000 I'm a tough man.

00:18:50.000 I'm a five-time commander.

00:18:52.000 Yeah, okay, Don Bakan, sit this one out.

00:18:54.000 Vote for Jim Jordan.

00:18:55.000 Go back on some committee and go argue for money for Ukraine.

00:18:58.000 We heard you enough.

00:18:59.000 We're impressed by that.

00:18:59.000 Tough guy, really.

00:19:01.000 You got to tell people you're tough.

00:19:02.000 You're not that tough.

00:19:03.000 I'm a five-time commander.

00:19:04.000 Okay, great.

00:19:05.000 Terrific.

00:19:07.000 How about you listen to your voters?

00:19:07.000 Got that part.

00:19:09.000 You want to go serve in a war?

00:19:10.000 There's plenty of happening growth.

00:19:12.000 Go and list in the Ukraine thing or the IDF.

00:19:14.000 You want to go serve your country?

00:19:15.000 Go vote for Jim Jordan as speaker.

00:19:17.000 Your mission is America first.

00:19:19.000 So these moderates, they're not used to pressure.

00:19:21.000 They're not.

00:19:22.000 And by the way, be polite.

00:19:23.000 Don't use swear words.

00:19:25.000 You know, be very, very peaceful in everything you do.

00:19:28.000 They look for a reason.

00:19:29.000 I'm getting harassed.

00:19:30.000 Okay, hearing from your constituents is not harassment.

00:19:32.000 I know their playbook.

00:19:34.000 We all know their playbook.

00:19:36.000 Don Bacon, Don Bakan, John Rutherford, Mario Diaz-Bollart, Mike Simpson, Carlos Jimena, Steve Womack, Frank Lucas, and Ken Buck.

00:19:43.000 Probably going to fall a couple votes short on the first one because they want to get out of their system.

00:19:48.000 They want to say, oh, you know, we're tough.

00:19:50.000 We're tough guys.

00:19:51.000 Now, remember, you can lose a couple, and we invite them to unify.

00:19:55.000 Just put your ego aside, guys.

00:19:57.000 Okay. 0.93

00:19:58.000 Yeah, I know your butt hurt that all of a sudden the moderates, you know, got obliterated. 0.93

00:20:03.000 Put Jim Jordan as Speaker of the House. 0.93

00:20:05.000 They are not used to this kind of pressure.

00:20:09.000 And by the way, they, just so you know, you know what they're telling other members and they're trying to plant stories right now, the moderates, like Mario Diaz-Bollart, you know what he's trying to do and all these people?

00:20:19.000 They're trying to plant stories saying they're being harassed and that there's a right-wing plot against them.

00:20:24.000 Oh, hearing from your constituents is a right-wing plot because they don't care about their constituents.

00:20:31.000 They just don't care.

00:20:32.000 Why would they?

00:20:33.000 They care about their lobbyists and their insider deals.

00:20:37.000 And by the way, this is a way to unify the conference.

00:20:40.000 It's called the will of the people.

00:20:43.000 It's not a time for vanity.

00:20:44.000 It's not a time for you just to kind of hold out.

00:20:46.000 I'm not going to unite.

00:20:48.000 I'm too, you're not tough.

00:20:50.000 You can't handle pressure.

00:20:50.000 Okay.

00:20:51.000 You guys are brittle.

00:20:52.000 You're fragile.

00:20:53.000 I'm not going to overly pick on you.

00:20:55.000 You go for Jordan.

00:20:56.000 We'll leave you alone.

00:20:57.000 You guys can get money for Ukraine or whatever you do.

00:20:59.000 We'll forget about you because we didn't know about you before.

00:21:01.000 We don't know you after.

00:21:02.000 We're focusing on you now.

00:21:03.000 Okay.

00:21:04.000 You vote for Jordan, go back into the distance and go on some subcommittee about ethanol or whatever you guys do in the agricultural committee. 0.98

00:21:12.000 Completely irrelevant, useless.

00:21:13.000 You go to D.C. for different reasons. 0.99

00:21:15.000 No one knows who you are.

00:21:15.000 It's fine.

00:21:16.000 No one's ever heard of you.

00:21:18.000 No one really cares about you that much, except now you're making a name for yourself.

00:21:22.000 And to be honest, a lot of these members of Congress, they don't really have that thick of skin when it comes to this stuff.

00:21:28.000 Like, I'm getting harassed.

00:21:29.000 No, no, you're not.

00:21:30.000 I know you've never trended on Twitter.

00:21:32.000 You've only had nice things said about the media about you.

00:21:34.000 You don't have a comm shop built for this.

00:21:36.000 No one knows who you are except Ken Buck and Don Bakan.

00:21:38.000 And you guys like it that way.

00:21:40.000 You guys like getting into the inside business of Congress.

00:21:45.000 Okay, sure, great.

00:21:48.000 Hallelujah.

00:21:50.000 Don't get in the way.

00:21:52.000 Not your fight.

00:21:54.000 Someone needs to kind of tap him on the shoulder and be like, I don't really think you know what you're signing up for here.

00:22:01.000 We're tough.

00:22:02.000 We're really angry.

00:22:04.000 And like Don Bakan is like their mission commander.

00:22:07.000 I will lead the moderates and the resistance.

00:22:10.000 And Diaz Bollart says, does that mean I have to trend on Twitter?

00:22:16.000 Do we do that?

00:22:17.000 Do we have our Twitter.com login?

00:22:21.000 And so, look, this deal's got to get done.

00:22:24.000 They're about to vote for it.

00:22:25.000 They're going to do a floor vote.

00:22:27.000 You got to listen to all the cattle of Democrats.

00:22:30.000 You know, when they say, Hakeem Jeffries, Hakeem Jeffries, as if we got to go with the whole thing all over again that we went over in January.

00:22:36.000 It's fine.

00:22:38.000 Let's play some pieces of tape here.

00:22:41.000 You got all sorts of wacky stuff going on.

00:22:42.000 I do want to play this one.

00:22:43.000 Brad Sherman saying that George W. Bush should become back a speaker.

00:22:47.000 What?

00:22:48.000 Play cut 33.

00:22:50.000 I could see President George W. Bush serving as Speaker of the House.

00:22:56.000 He could come back and, you know, and obviously I'm not a real fan of how the Iraq war went, but I would think that any reasonable Republican would be somebody that Democrats could work with.

00:23:11.000 Okay, let me just tell you, that clip right there should be saved and archived as a reminder of what we're fighting against.

00:23:18.000 That's a former Republican president that a Marxist is hoping comes back as Speaker of the House.

00:23:25.000 It's Brad Sherman from California, who's a Marxist, okay?

00:23:30.000 He's a Marxist, and he's like, you know, I really miss for the days of George W. Bush.

00:23:35.000 Does that not tell you the whole program?

00:23:38.000 The whole ballgame right there in that one clip.

00:23:42.000 A reasonable Republican.

00:23:44.000 Oh, you mean someone that wanted open borders, perfectly fine with the importation of plastic, massive amounts of foreigners coming into the country, crony insider deals of Halliburton, Pfizer, Astrogenica, Moderna, Johnson, and Johnson, no major spending cuts.

00:24:01.000 Times were good under George W. Bush because the central sacred pillars of the regime were strong under George W. Bush.

00:24:15.000 A uniparty world order.

00:24:17.000 No questions were asked.

00:24:18.000 No people were being analytical of the lies of the day.

00:24:23.000 So Bush did what the regime wanted to do.

00:24:27.000 Department of Homeland Security, Medicare Part D, all that sort of stuff.

00:24:31.000 A great reset globalist.

00:24:33.000 And what's hilarious is Bush was actually hated at the time by these guys.

00:24:37.000 And there is something, and if you actually pull up, if you put up the pictures of these guys, you have to wonder, there is what I call a weakening of the knees, old man, Republican syndrome.

00:24:47.000 Not with everybody.

00:24:48.000 This is a generalization.

00:24:50.000 But I see this with George W. Bush.

00:24:51.000 I see this with some people that have just get worn down.

00:24:56.000 And some people, men especially, older Republican men at times, not every, obviously, not everyone, but some of them, like George W. Bush, when they get older, they have these like delusions of like bipartisanship, and they have significantly been worn down by the Democrat media machine, by the Democrat lawfare machine.

00:25:19.000 Okay, let's take the clip right now.

00:25:21.000 Lee Stefanik is nominating Jim Jordan from the floor.

00:25:23.000 Let's take this.

00:25:25.000 And small towns where people no longer feel safe in their homes or in their communities.

00:25:31.000 A time when American energy production has been crushed by Joe Biden's radical, failed far-left policies, causing seniors, farmers, and families to pay more at the pump and struggle with skyrocketing utility bills.

00:25:46.000 A time when the federal government is weaponized against we the people who they are supposed to serve, stripping us of our God-given constitutional rights and wrongfully targeting conservatives, Catholics, and even parents at school board meetings.

00:26:05.000 And a time when the people of our closest and most precious ally, Israel, suffered the bloodiest day since the Holocaust with acts of inhumane evil committed by Hamas terrorists backed by Iran, grotesque atrocities, the beheadings of babies, rapes, kidnappings, and slaughter of women, children, and the elderly, and Israelis and Americans taken hostage.

00:26:34.000 We are here in this very chamber for such a time as this.

00:26:39.000 Jim Jordan will be we the people speaker for such a time as this.

00:26:46.000 Our friend and colleague Jim Jordan is a patriot.

00:26:49.000 He is an America first warrior who wins the toughest of fights, going after corruption and delivering accountability at the highest levels of government on behalf of we the people.

00:27:01.000 Jim is the voice of the American people who have felt voiceless for far too long.

00:27:07.000 Whether as judiciary chair, conservative leader, or representative for his constituents in west central Ohio, whether on the wrestling mat or in the committee room, Jim Jordan is strategic, scrappy, tough, and principled.

00:27:20.000 He is a mentor, a worker, and above all, he is a fighter.

00:27:24.000 And the American people know, we know, that Jim Jordan is a winner on behalf of the American people.

00:27:34.000 Almost 10 years ago, many of us sat with our colleague Jim Jordan in this very chamber when Prime Minister Netanyahu delivered his historic joint address, which some of our colleagues across the aisle shamefully boycotted.

00:27:49.000 Bibi pointed out that in this very chamber, we serve under the watchful gaze of Moses.

00:27:56.000 A face of Moses is in the U.S. Congress.

00:27:58.000 The founding fathers thought, actually, originally, they wanted the Jews leaving Egypt, crossing the Red Sea, to be the American symbol, to be the actual logo is bad word.

00:28:09.000 Symbol, I guess is the right word.

00:28:10.000 Instead of the pyramid, they wanted it to be the parting of the Red Sea.

00:28:17.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:28:18.000 As you know, following this week's horrible events, Israel is at war.

00:28:22.000 The people of Israel are under attack from brutal terrorists, targeting innocent civilians, including women and children.

00:28:27.000 There's over a thousand casualties, as well as kidnapping and infiltration of southern Israeli towns.

00:28:32.000 Israel is now retaliating and could escalate with a ground offensive against Hamas militants.

00:28:36.000 The situation is critical, which is why I'm partnering with our friends at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews to rush emergency relief to the hardest hit areas.

00:28:43.000 Call the special phone number, 800-492-5454, to make an emergency donation.

00:28:48.000 Again, that's 800-492-5454.

00:28:51.000 Your emergency gift will help the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews save lives and provide critical essentials needed right now.

00:28:58.000 During this dark time, the need in war-torn areas will be tremendous.

00:29:01.000 The fellowship has an extensive network of staff, partner organizations, and more.

00:29:05.000 Immediately respond with life-saving security and support measures.

00:29:08.000 We ask all people to pray for safety and protection.

00:29:10.000 Call 800-492-5454 as we rush urgent need right now to help Israel through the International Fellowship of Christian Jews.

00:29:21.000 Let's get to another piece of tape here.

00:29:22.000 Kevin McCarthy is voicing support for Jim Jordan, but let's do this.

00:29:26.000 Let's play Cut 44, please.

00:29:27.000 How many ballots are you willing to go?

00:29:28.000 Will you do as much as Kevin McCarthy?

00:29:30.000 We need to get a speaker today, and we feel really good about where we're at.

00:29:34.000 I'm going over to me, but does this mean ballot after ballot by the way McCarthy did?

00:29:38.000 Whatever it takes to get a speaker today.

00:29:40.000 So it very well could take many, many rounds of ballots.

00:29:43.000 However, I want to empower you, the audience.

00:29:45.000 I hope you guys know that more so than any other point of pressure that you might have applied.

00:29:50.000 Right now, your voice means so much.

00:29:52.000 Why?

00:29:54.000 Because it's isolated to a small number of moderates that are not used to hearing from their voters.

00:30:01.000 They are not used to hearing from you.

00:30:05.000 Here's an inside source.

00:30:06.000 There'll be a group of moderates, names mostly public, and others who will vote against Jim Jordan on the first ballot, but are open to switching after.

00:30:14.000 I think it will take two to three ballots.

00:30:16.000 Not 100% sure.

00:30:17.000 Inside baseball says he will become speaker.

00:30:20.000 So we shall see.

00:30:22.000 Your voice means so much, everybody.

00:30:24.000 Call the number.

00:30:25.000 Be respectful.

00:30:26.000 Take five minutes of your time.

00:30:27.000 You could help make a difference for the betterment of the country.

00:30:32.000 Okay, so let me tell you what's going to happen here.

00:30:33.000 I'm going to play this out based on all my sources and based on being through this, okay?

00:30:37.000 Jim Jordan will not win on the first ballot.

00:30:39.000 He'll probably come, if he comes less than 10 votes short, that's a massive victory.

00:30:45.000 So if he gets to like 205, 207, huge, huge, huge, huge victory.

00:30:50.000 Okay?

00:30:51.000 So then you can isolate the 10 people who will probably be the eight plus maybe a couple others that we don't know of that you've never heard of before, but they want to make a big stand because they're a tough guy.

00:31:03.000 Fine.

00:31:03.000 Right.

00:31:03.000 Got it.

00:31:04.000 Terrific.

00:31:04.000 Get out of your system.

00:31:06.000 Then you have to say, okay, you're ready to play ball?

00:31:09.000 You ready to keep the majority Republican?

00:31:12.000 And at that point, conservative media, Hannity, Ingram, this program, Jack Posobic, Bannon, all of a sudden, that list will officially be made public, and they're going to receive social media chatter, New York Times requests, Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, all of that.

00:31:35.000 And as long as we remain respectful and there's not some sort of psyop of somebody that leaves a terrible and ugly voicemail by some Democrat that does that to try to thwart us.

00:31:46.000 So just be very clear in your communications that you have respect for these people.

00:31:50.000 You don't see it the way they do, and that you hope they will vote a certain way or they will experience a primary challenge.

00:31:57.000 For example, Mario Diaz-Ballart, if he keeps this up, he's in a Republican plus eight district in deep red Collier County, Florida.

00:32:06.000 We will primary you.

00:32:07.000 Okay?

00:32:08.000 We know all the Republican chairmen there.

00:32:10.000 That's where Seed to Table is.

00:32:12.000 That's where the great Alfie Oaks is.

00:32:13.000 Those are strong Christian conservatives.

00:32:16.000 Those folks love the country and they do not want some guy to all of a sudden be grandstanding.

00:32:20.000 So get it out of your system.

00:32:22.000 You guys get one ballot.

00:32:23.000 We know it's not going to happen on the first ballot based on all sources.

00:32:25.000 Okay?

00:32:26.000 Fine.

00:32:27.000 You made your statement.

00:32:27.000 Great.

00:32:28.000 Put up your stink. 1.00

00:32:29.000 Go work the cameras. 0.99

00:32:32.000 All right.

00:32:33.000 But then, second ballot, what are you going to do?

00:32:37.000 In the meantime, these people are all of a sudden, their staffers are going to be.

00:32:43.000 Mr. Rutherford, our phones are kind of overwhelmed right now.

00:32:51.000 What do you mean?

00:32:52.000 No one ever calls us.

00:32:53.000 They only call us for social security checks.

00:32:57.000 Yeah, your constituents are not happy.

00:32:59.000 Your phones are melting.

00:33:01.000 Is this some sort of right-wing conspiracy?

00:33:04.000 Is this Bannon doing his thing again?

00:33:07.000 I don't know, sir, but they're calling for a primary challenge.

00:33:10.000 And a lot of people in local politics are not happy with you.

00:33:16.000 And they're not used to the will of the people.

00:33:18.000 They're not used to the consent of the governed.

00:33:20.000 And they're going to be getting little whispers in their ears, text messages from their staff.

00:33:25.000 Sir, they want to primary you.

00:33:29.000 And there is nothing that scares a moderate more than a primary threat.

00:33:35.000 There is nothing.

00:33:37.000 And we'll lay off.

00:33:38.000 We'll forget you guys.

00:33:39.000 Okay.

00:33:39.000 How about this?

00:33:40.000 We'll grant you one ballot of mercy.

00:33:42.000 Okay.

00:33:43.000 Have fun.

00:33:44.000 Great.

00:33:45.000 Get it out of your system.

00:33:46.000 Scream at the sky like an angry leftist.

00:33:49.000 We will grant you amnesty one time.

00:33:52.000 Okay.

00:33:52.000 You wanted a moderate as speaker.

00:33:54.000 You're not going to get a moderate.

00:33:56.000 Scream at the sky.

00:33:58.000 Get it out of your system.

00:33:59.000 Vent.

00:34:01.000 Whatever you want.

00:34:01.000 Vietch.

00:34:03.000 And then we say, okay, let's actually govern.

00:34:05.000 Okay.

00:34:06.000 The second, the third, we are not going to be as merciful.

00:34:11.000 Okay.

00:34:13.000 And I want to be very clear because the maggots out there, oh, Charlie's saying he's not going to be merciful.

00:34:17.000 We're talking about we're just going to primary you.

00:34:20.000 Okay?

00:34:21.000 Another member of Congress just texted us.

00:34:23.000 I don't think he'll get it today.

00:34:24.000 We need the grassroots to roar.

00:34:26.000 Okay.

00:34:26.000 So look, you get one ballot.

00:34:28.000 The names are public.

00:34:30.000 And then you're going to see a grassroots tsunami.

00:34:34.000 Florida, Oklahoma.

00:34:36.000 And do you know what all these people have in common?

00:34:37.000 They're all from red states, particularly southern red states.

00:34:40.000 It's unbelievable.

00:34:42.000 You got Arkansas.

00:34:43.000 I mean, Ken Buck is whatever.

00:34:44.000 You can lose a couple.

00:34:46.000 Florida?

00:34:47.000 In like the anti-communist stalwart?

00:34:50.000 Nebraska?

00:34:51.000 The deep red state of Nebraska?

00:34:52.000 No, granted, it is a moderate blue district.

00:34:54.000 I get it, but there is no excuse.

00:34:55.000 I don't care if you're in a blue district.

00:34:56.000 There's no excuse not to vote for a Republican for speaker.

00:34:59.000 Because I'm a tough man, I'm angry.

00:35:00.000 Okay, cut it out, pal.

00:35:01.000 You're not that tough.

00:35:03.000 John Rutherford, Mike Simpson, Oklahoma?

00:35:07.000 You're trying to tell me that the great people of Oklahoma are going to prevent, are going to be okay with Jim Jordan from being prevented speaker because someone they sent to Congress who sits on an agricultural committee worrying about like ethanol subsidies is going to get in the way of Jim Jordan being speaker.

00:35:24.000 Like, let me just be as again, you guys get one vote, you get one amnesty.

00:35:28.000 They're not going to listen to this.

00:35:29.000 They'll have to learn the hard way.

00:35:30.000 You guys are not cut out for this fight.

00:35:31.000 Your staff is not built for it.

00:35:33.000 You guys do not have a crisis war room.

00:35:34.000 You are not ready for it.

00:35:35.000 Vote for Jim Jordan or else it's just going to get unnecessarily tough for you guys.

00:35:41.000 Primary campaigns, calls for resignation.

00:35:44.000 Grassroots are not going to lay off.

00:35:46.000 So you get one vote, amnesty fine, get it right, or else you're going to hear from who runs the Republican Party now.

00:35:52.000 It's not the Chamber of Commerce.

00:35:53.000 It's the people.

00:35:55.000 And I don't think you guys are ready for that.
