00:02:04.000So I want to get into this story with Congressman Hoyer, who has just announced that there is no deal in trying to kick out Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
00:02:18.000Marjorie Taylor Greene is a Congresswoman from Georgia.
00:02:23.000She won convincingly with 75% of the vote.
00:02:26.000So obviously her voters wanted her there.
00:03:50.000I'm not really sure what this is from, but it's in our document here that we use to prep.
00:03:55.000Members rarely get expelled from Congress, an action that requires a two-thirds majority.
00:04:01.00020 total members of Congress, 15 senators and 5 House lawmakers, have been expelled from their seats, according to a Congressional Research Service report from 2018.
00:04:10.000The late Representative James A. Treficient Jr. was the most recent example of a member expelled from the House.
00:04:16.000The Ohio Democrat was expelled in 2002 after he was convicted of bribery, illegal, gratuities, defrauding the government, and other crimes.
00:04:24.000Censure and reprimand are other forms of official punishment and both require a simple majority.
00:04:30.000But expulsion, getting expelled from Congress, requires a two-thirds vote.
00:04:37.000Why are Democrats so focused on Marjorie Taylor Greene?
00:06:53.000The entire Marjorie Taylor Greene exercise, regardless of your feelings about her, the things that she said prior, and I'm not going to get into all of it.
00:07:02.000Because there's some things that she said that's been unearthed that I disagree with and that I just, I wouldn't have said and I don't support.
00:08:00.000Well, the way that you distract from the theft, the way that you not just distract, but you prevent any backlash from it, is you create a political smokescreen device.
00:08:15.000And that political smokescreen device is impeachment, the expulsion of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the baseless connection that the Republican Party is the party of QAnon, whatever the heck that is.
00:08:31.000The Democrats are doing this intentionally.
00:08:33.000Breaking right now on NBC News, House Democrats to vote on punishing Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene after GOP fails to take action.
00:09:20.000Yet a majority of people in the Democrat Party, if you go up to them and you say, true or false, Sarah Palin said, I can see Russia from my house, they'll say true.
00:09:32.000Instead, Sarah Palin, who you might have your own disagreements with, said that being governor of Alaska, we have to deal with certain geopolitical issues because of our proximity to Russia, which is entirely true, by the way.
00:10:14.000They found someone who has said some things that are pretty controversial in their past.
00:10:19.000They found someone that is not willing to back down, someone that talks to President Trump, and they are going to focus on her until they find the next one.
00:10:29.000If Marjorie Taylor Green resigned from Congress today, they will not move on.
00:11:02.000Are you guys sick of all the cancel culture?
00:11:05.000Stand with one of the fighters, Mike Lindell, right now.
00:11:08.000I want to talk to you about how MyPillow has changed so many people's lives.
00:11:11.000I know people that use MyPillow, made in America, by the way, and they say they're sleeping better, they're a better person, and it's just a game changer.
00:11:18.000For a limited time, Mike is offering his premium MyPillows for his lowest price ever.
00:11:22.000You can get a queen-size premium MyPillow for $29.98, regular $69.98, and that's $40 savings.
00:11:32.000Not only are you getting the lowest price ever, $29.98 for a queen-size premium, but Mike is extending a 60-day money-back guarantee to March 1st, 2021.
00:11:40.000So, right now, support the good guys, support the people that are trying to cancel.
00:11:44.000Go to mypillow.com and click on the Radio Listener Square and use the promo code Kirk.
00:11:49.000You will also get deep discounts on MyPillow products, including the Giza Dream bedsheets, the MyPillow Mattress Topper, and MyPillow Towel Sets.
00:11:56.000Or call 800-876-0227 and use promo code Kirk.
00:12:58.000Have the people of her district hold her accountable, not other members of Congress.
00:13:02.000She didn't say this while she was a sitting member.
00:13:04.000She didn't say this on the House floor.
00:13:06.000And while we're in the business of removing members of Congress, whatever happened to Eric Swawell and his lover, Fang Fang, Marjorie Taylor Greene made statements before she became a member of Congress.
00:13:21.000I'm not even going to get into the specifics of it from what I've seen and what I've read.
00:13:28.000Eric Swawell, on the other hand, allegedly slept around with a CCP spy, staffed his office with interns from Fang Fang, and he gets promoted to become a House impeachment manager.
00:13:44.000Nancy Pelosi rubbing it right in our face.
00:13:47.000So while we're talking about expelling members of Congress, how about having romantic relationships with a Chinese Communist Party agent?
00:13:56.000Would that qualify as reason for expulsion?
00:14:01.000While we're talking about stripping people of their committees, what about Elon Omar?
00:14:08.000Elon Omar, who said after 9-11, some people did something.
00:14:12.000Elon Omar has a track record of opposing American foreign policy.
00:14:19.000In fact, if I remember correctly, she said something about in Somali, the Somali war, America was the bad guys.
00:14:27.000So now Republican lawmakers are seeking a countermeasure to strip Elon Omar of her campaign assignments, of her committee assignments, I should say, because of her anti-Semitic statements.
00:14:40.000Brian Babbin, Jeff Duncan, Jody Heiss, Andy Biggs, and Ronnie Jackson are sponsoring the resolution.
00:14:45.000Is this really what we want to turn Congress into?
00:14:48.000We got a lot of problems in our country, and this is exactly why I focused so much attention on Ron DeSantis, because Congress has become a circus.
00:15:07.000And I support Republicans for now having a countermeasure because the Democrats have to know if they're going to try to take out one of our Republicans from committee assignments and from Congress, well, then that standard must apply to all people.
00:15:59.000It's because Democrats are incapable of taking responsibility for their actions, taking responsibility for their policies.
00:16:07.000Just today, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who's a total disaster, terrible mayor, blames Trump for standoff between city public schools and teacher unions.
00:16:18.000The mayor of Chicago is blaming the guy who's having lunch at Mar-a-Lago right now for the reason why the city, public schools, and teacher unions can't come to a deal.
00:16:28.000She said in her quote, and I want to quote her correctly: all of this was exacerbated by the incompetence of the previous administration.
00:16:40.000It didn't leave us with enough vaccine to quickly get to the entire population in our city that needs it.
00:16:48.000Democrats want nothing to do with responsibility.
00:16:55.000Democrats would prefer to do these political games endlessly while the great theft continues.
00:17:05.000The Democrats strategy is now going to be the perpetual party of the lesser of two evils.
00:17:16.000Very wise Democrats, I don't say that lightly, very wise Democrats realize how unpopular their political positions actually are.
00:17:26.000They understand that they're going to need more than just two years of unified government to pass the Green New Deal, add new states, eliminate the Electoral College, put the Constitution through a shredder.
00:17:38.000They're going to need to do this in incremental steps.
00:17:42.000Democrats know that the American people are actually a center-right people, that we are a center-right country.
00:17:50.000You wake up every day, you go to work, you pay your taxes, you care about your kids' school, you have responsibility, you pay your mortgage, you're a center-right person, some varying degree.
00:18:02.000You believe in freedom of speech, you believe you should be able to protect yourself, you want a functioning society, you're center-right.
00:18:11.000AOC thinks the entire country is like Brooklyn.
00:18:15.000AOC thinks the entire country is like the 45 blocks that she represents, where there is a completely different view of the world.
00:18:29.000AOC thinks that West Texas should have the exact same type of public policy when it comes to energy and it comes to values as Malibu and Brooklyn.
00:18:42.000The Democrats, the wise Democrats, are now the ones that are pushing forward this lesser of two evils political strategy.
00:18:52.000Democrats know that they're not going to be able to excite suburban voters to go vote for higher taxes, decreased individual freedom and liberty, closed schools, mounting debt, and inflation.
00:19:02.000But they can stay in perpetual political power if they other the other side.
00:19:10.000If they convince people that Republicans are so awful, they're terrorists, then people will give them power because at least they're not the terrorists.
00:19:21.000At least they're not Marjorie Taylor Greene, because yeah, she's such a big threat to our country.
00:19:27.000Why is Congress more concerned about Marjorie Taylor Greene than the fact that the evil republic or whatever the heck they call themselves, and not even a republic, the totalitarian maniacs of Iran are now close to a nuclear weapon according to the Biden administration?
00:19:42.000The reason is because the Democrats don't want to govern.
00:19:46.000You see, Republicans get into politics to actually fix things.
00:19:50.000They get into politics to occupy things.
00:19:54.000They get into politics to control political turf.
00:19:57.000They get into politics to make something of themselves.
00:20:00.000Many Republicans who run for office had a nice life before they ran.
00:20:04.000And there's exceptions to this, of course, but this is a general rule.
00:20:08.000So the Democrats are now employing this strategy of division, this strategy that is rooted in political tension, where their communication to the American people will say, oh, no, I know you got a lot of problems, but no matter what, you better vote for us because you know how bad the other side is.
00:20:34.000They're Viking shaman people that are going to come in the middle of the night and steal your family from you.
00:20:42.000You see, the Democrats, there's an article at CNN.com.
00:20:48.000Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Sean Patrick Maloney, whoever he is, told his colleagues that Democrats plan to stay, quote, relentlessly on offense, end quote, against Republicans, according to a person familiar who is on the call.
00:21:03.000And then the title of this article at CNN.com is House Democrats plan to mount offensive to tie Republicans to QAnon.
00:21:11.000Now, let me just tell you, most Republican voters have no idea what the heck QAnon is.
00:21:34.000They're vowing a new round of attacks against Congresswoman Lauren Boebert in Colorado.
00:21:39.000Now, mind you, no attacks against China or Iran, but the real problem is the five-foot Congresswoman from the mountains of Colorado who ran for Congress because her restaurant was closed.
00:21:49.000That's the real threat to national security.
00:21:52.000Iran having a nuclear weapon, that's perfectly fine.
00:21:55.000China building islands in the South China Sea for world domination and some sort of a proxy fight that's happening in Myanmar, that's not a concern.
00:22:05.000The fact that our schools are closed, suicides are up, drug usage and alcoholism has increased.
00:22:10.000The real threat, according to Congressman Patrick, Sean Patrick Maloney, is not to say relentlessly on offense against China, against illegal immigration, against child sex traffickers, against gun smugglers, against Putin locking up political dissidents, against the lockdowns, the economic catastrophe.
00:23:14.000They understand that the midterm after a party takes over the three branches of government is typically a bloodbath, metaphorical bloodbath.
00:23:24.000That the House of Representatives is poised to now swing 30 to 40 seats.
00:23:28.000That is what history tells us in Republicans' direction.
00:23:31.000The Senate, despite the map being difficult for Democrats, Republicans are likely to take back the Senate.
00:23:39.000So the Democrats' political strategy is one that might work if we do not get out in front of it.
00:23:44.000The Democrats' political strategy is one that actually might be popular if we do not explain it early.
00:23:50.000And that is, everything you've been told about China and Iran is actually not true.
00:23:57.000The real threat are these QAnon Congress people that are popping up to take over your country and steal your children in the middle of the night.
00:24:08.000And the problem is they have a multi-trillion dollar communication arm, the mainstream media, to communicate this to the rest of the country.
00:24:17.000And so their pathological obsession of going after Marjorie Taylor Greene or Lauren Boebert or Andy Biggs or Paul Gosar, the crazy thing is that Democrats don't actually want Marjorie Taylor Greene gone from Congress.
00:25:07.000And that's exactly why this disinformation and misinformation campaign that has been launched against conservatives must be stopped and stopped quickly.
00:25:18.000That's why what Ron DeSantis is doing with big tech is so important because we can't even get that message out without coming under extraordinary censorship.
00:25:31.000We're in a set of circumstances right now where the Democrats' only pathway to saying popular is by demonizing and smearing the other side.
00:26:20.000Barack Obama and Donald Trump were the two most successful political movements of my life, and both of them in 2008 and 2016 ran a campaign that got people to believe in something outside of the political rules and orthodoxy that were currently in place.
00:26:39.000In the struggle that we're in right now, if we allow this relentless slander to continue against conservatives and Republicans, then Democrats are going to hold on to power for a very long time.
00:26:52.000The Chinese coronavirus lockdown taught us that people do not want to be free.
00:27:13.000But now the Democrats are introducing another piece of fear.
00:27:18.000That not only do you have to worry about your nine-year-old kid getting the virus and dying, which is not true and it's not scientifically based, the chances of that happening are so low.
00:27:28.000Not only do you have to worry about this invisible enemy that could sneak up to you at any time, but now you have to worry about a domestic enemy.
00:27:42.000People that are constantly in a state of fear are willing to give up their freedoms and liberties towards safetyism.
00:27:52.000When you are under the belief that there is a militia uprising in Congress ready to come after you, then what freedoms wouldn't you give up?
00:28:11.000What liberty wouldn't you sacrifice when you are afraid you are easier to command?
00:28:21.000This entire circus right now of impeachment and expulsion and all of that is not about making people's lives better.
00:28:28.000They tried that with Obamacare and they got blamed for everything and they lost seats.
00:28:33.000When they actually implement their agenda, they lose everything.
00:28:36.000Instead, their new strategy is we're going to build our majority so big over time by demagoguing the other side, by saying that they're literal terrorists, and then we'll be able to push forth our radical agenda.
00:28:47.000Let's go to cut 51, where Joe Manchin is saying, I will not support a party-line vote to pass the Chinese coronavirus bill through reconciliation.
00:28:59.000So if they say we're pushing forward with reconciliation, which means not 60, 51 votes, and they come to you and say, Joe, we need that vote, and it's 1.9 trillion.
00:29:12.000What, Brett, what I have told everybody, I made it very clear from the President of the United States to all of my colleagues, we're going to make this work in a bipartisan way.
00:29:21.000My friends on the other side are going to have input, and we're going to do something that we agree on.
00:29:26.000I'm not going to do it just down the lines of just saying party line vote.
00:29:52.000I've seen people who thought they had power and abused it.
00:29:56.000I've seen people that desired power and abused it.
00:30:00.000And I've seen people that had an opportunity to be in a situation where he can make a difference.
00:30:03.000And I hope I'm that person to make a difference.
00:30:06.000So Joe Manchin is a different type of Democrat than the peacetime kleptocrats of Ron Klain and this guy, Sean Patrick Maloney or Patrick Sean Maloney, whatever his name is.
00:30:17.000Because Joe Manchin actually is interested in governing.
00:30:29.000So we're going to give voice to the Republicans.
00:30:32.000We're going to try to do this in a bipartisan fashion.
00:30:34.000Now, because of that, Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Cinema are under massive backlash from the AOC types who have never missed an opportunity to try to blame somebody else to try to create a political revolution that will destroy the country.
00:30:47.000AOC has a new pack, or her staffers have a new pack.
00:32:05.000Joe Manchin is the most powerful man in Washington, and Kirsten Cinema has just made herself more powerful.
00:32:11.000Now, I think Kirsten Cinema wants to be a senator for a very, very long time of Arizona.
00:32:16.000I think Kirsten Cinema, if the winds of the political trends told her to be more liberal, she would do that.
00:32:22.000I think Kirsten Cinema will become more liberal if Arizona becomes more liberal.
00:32:26.000I think that Kirsten Cinema is not a dummy, though.
00:32:29.000Kirsten Cinema's staffer is probably showing her that in Maricopa County, new voter registrations show that there are 30% more people registering as Republicans than Democrats in the county of Maricopa County, which is the largest county in Arizona.
00:32:42.000She knows that in order for her to win reelection, she has to win as a center-left or center candidate.
00:32:49.000The No Excuses PAC by the AOC staffers seek to replace West Virginia, Joe Manchin, and Arizona Kirsten Cinema.
00:32:56.000You think you're going to run to the left of Joe Manchin in the state of West Virginia, the state that Donald Trump won with 67 to 70 percent of the vote in West Virginia?
00:33:06.000And Kirsten Cinema is representing a politically diverse state that is still a center-right state where they have a Republican governor that won by 20 points last time.
00:33:15.000Radical Democrats are doing everything they possibly can to try to take out these two more moderate Democrats.
00:33:22.000And obviously, I disagree with them, as I said, on so much.
00:33:27.000But right now, they're flexing their muscles, and they're slowing down the process.
00:33:33.000Democrats know this, which is why they're posturing to try to create Republicans as a domestic terror threat, which has long-reaching ramifications.
