Hunter Biden finally held in contempt of Congress for refusing to show up for a deposition. The Republican chairs vote to hold him in contempt for his refusal to answer all of the questions he was subpoenaed to answer in a public hearing.
00:08:57.460A couple of days afterwards, tells his deputy that she should be responsible for these duties
00:09:02.380as she's sitting in Puerto Rico, unaware of any of this transpiring whatsoever.
00:09:08.920And then we go back and look at the botched, terribly botched withdrawal from Afghanistan
00:09:15.960where 13 service members lost their lives in the process of trying to extract the American people
00:09:23.780and unfortunately about 100,000 Afghan refugees, which we're still suffering other problems from.
00:09:31.020And then we go back a little bit further to when we had a Chinese spy balloon
00:09:35.740enter into American airspace over the Aleutian Islands.
00:09:39.640He was aware of it, allowed it to fly over Alaska, flew over Canada, entered Montana airspace,
00:09:48.020hovered around Malmstrom Air Force Base and 140 ICBMs for a couple of days, collecting information.
00:09:55.780First of all, he tried to deny that there was even a Chinese spy balloon in our airspace.
00:10:03.080Next, he tried to say that the balloon was not able to collect images or data, which we know was a flat-out lie.
00:10:13.780And then he went on to say they could not transmit that information to China.
00:10:17.880We now have cellular information that shows that they absolutely were transmitting those images and that data back to China.
00:10:25.740And when you combine all of these problems, okay, I certainly believe that it warrants the impeachment of Secretary Lloyd Austin.
00:10:37.020This has been a national security threat since he was confirmed.
00:10:41.580There's no question that this is the most, I think, offensive, inexplicable conduct on the part of any Secretary of Defense in American history,
00:14:46.460We're back now with Congressman Matt Rosendale.
00:14:49.380And I want to just to button up the conversation over Lloyd Austin.
00:14:53.580You've started the impeachment process.
00:14:55.880What does it really say about him and about the Defense Department command structure that no one missed him while he was gone?
00:15:04.900The President of the United States didn't even know he was gone until yesterday.
00:15:09.400What the President knows on a daily basis or does not know probably wouldn't surprise anybody that's listening to this broadcast.
00:15:18.460OK, I am just as concerned about who is advising him.
00:15:22.680When I watch the President try to deliver a speech and then wander around the stage when he concludes it to try and figure out how to get off of it,
00:15:31.000I'm gravely concerned about who's advising him as well.
00:17:13.380When I start hearing about negotiations that are taking place between the four corners, as they call it, Speaker Johnson, Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader, and then Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell.
00:17:24.020I know that nothing good will come from that.
00:17:51.440And this is why the American people witnessed back in January where a small group of us demanded regular order be restored to Congress and to restore the rules that it used to be governed by.
00:18:06.220Not some radical deviation, but to have discussion, debate on the House floor, to have single subject legislation, to develop the 12 appropriation bills by June 30 like it's supposed to happen every year.
00:18:20.200And we are tired of the rules being suspended, a bunch of Republicans going along with a bunch of the Democrats to pass that suspension and then pass the uniparty spending that we have continued to watch, which has plunged us $34 trillion in debt.
00:18:40.280And I will tell you, Lou, I am offended when I hear people here that have been there for a couple of decades tell me that I just don't understand that you have to work together in order to make these things happen.
00:18:54.360And they are the very architects of the destruction of these institutions and the piling of $34 trillion of debt on our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren at this point.
00:19:08.820The numbers are overwhelming in every sense of the word.
00:19:12.200But when you look at $34 trillion of national debt and the rate at which money is being spent, which means that there will be over a $2 trillion deficit this year, and every quarter you're adding immense sums of money.
00:19:30.760You and the executive are doing so, I don't know how we get out of this because we're spending almost a trillion dollars in servicing the debt.
00:19:43.140The American people are throwing a trillion dollars at the U.S. banking system.
00:19:48.180And you know what, folks, you don't need to do that.
00:21:40.020And at that level, it will consume not a trillion dollars a year, but it's going to consume about 50% of the total revenue that the federal government collects.
00:21:51.120So if you think we're having difficult times now trying to figure out where to cut, in five years, 50% of the revenue will go to service the debt.
00:22:02.020We're talking with Congressman Matt Rosendale.
00:22:05.020We're going to talk when we come back about the cartels' control of our U.S. border and how nice it was of Joe Biden when he took office to turn over control of 2,000 miles of border with Mexico directly to the drug cartels who now control both sides.
00:22:21.500We're coming right back talking with Congressman Matt Rosendale.
00:22:29.400We're back now with Congressman Matt Rosendale.
00:22:33.540And Congressman, the cartels now own the border.
00:22:39.200The United States government is not in control of that border.
00:22:41.540The Mexican government is not in control of that border.
00:22:43.520That means only one group could be, and that is the Mexican drug cartels.
00:22:48.020And it's one reason you've got so many people who are, let's say, very happy with the Mexican government.
00:22:54.340And Manuel Lopez Obrador, the president, because they're scared to death of the cartels that run the southern portion of those four border states, as well as nearly all of Mexico.
00:23:07.940And also, they run President Manuel Lopez Obrador.
00:23:11.360We're looking at, this is the reality, and no one wants to say it out loud.
00:23:59.200That's how we're getting this fentanyl distributed around the country.
00:24:02.060That's where we're losing somewhere in the neighborhood of 100,000 American citizens every year to drug overdoses, most of which is coming from fentanyl.
00:24:11.920That is coming from the southern border.
00:24:53.700All of these hundreds of thousands of people that are coming into our country illegally have a financial obligation to the cartel, and they will pay it, and they will pay it, and they will work until they pay that debt off.
00:25:25.180God help those children and the circumstances and the conditions that they have been sold into.
00:25:31.620But God help those who are leaving this border open that's allowing that to happen.
00:25:36.840So now we combine that going back to this spending issue, Lou.
00:25:42.540This is the one time, January 19th, when we're going to have the opportunity as the House of Representatives to say we're not going to sign off on any additional spending until our border is secure.
00:25:57.240And whether you use the provisions of HR 2, which was the most comprehensive conservative legislation to address illegal immigration and our southern border security that has ever come through Washington, D.C., or the provisions of five pieces of legislation that I will be introducing tomorrow, starting with a stoppage of all immigration except for the work visas, the temporary work visas,
00:26:26.420stop all immigration for five years until we can reduce those numbers down and including measures that will stop the asylees from claiming asylum status being released into our country for a term of six to eight years before they can have a hearing to determine if they're even eligible for asylum.
00:26:45.880This is our opportunity to utilize, as they say, the power of the purse strings, okay, and say we're not going to fund the balance of government until these provisions are implemented and we secure our southern border.
00:27:02.980I think you're saying what a lot of people are thinking as well.
