1 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: We now have a Speaker of the House. Time to 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 1: get to business. We'll talk about that with Chip Roy, 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 1: We'll talk about that with Josh Hammer. We have this 4 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,399 Speaker 1: week in wokeism. We're going to have a blast tonight. 5 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: And I'm right the gentleman from the great state of 6 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: California and the next Speaker of the one hundred and 7 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: eighteenth Congress, Kevin McCarthy. That was easy, huh. I never 8 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: thought we'd get up here. Okay, Speaker of the House, 9 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy. Fifteen tries, fifteen tries. You know what, We're 10 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: gonna pause on that for just a moment. Let's have 11 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: a talk just you and me talking about life. We'll 12 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: get back to Kevin McCarthy and Speak of the House 13 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,559 Speaker 1: all those other things. But we don't have very many 14 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: frank life conversations anymore. As a society. I know what 15 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: you do and I do you do in your personal life, 16 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: But as a society, any tough conversation is generally avoided. 17 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: Let's have a talk about leverage. We don't like to 18 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: talk about things like leverage because it makes people uncomfortable. 19 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 1: It makes people feel like you're playing an angle. Oh, 20 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: he's just in it. For his own selfish interests. But 21 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: aren't we all in it somehow, some way for our 22 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: own selfish interests. Doesn't have to apply just to Speaker 23 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: of the House, votes or the business world. Doesn't it 24 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: apply in your own own personal life if you're being really, 25 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: really honest with yourself. Fellas, I want to go golfing 26 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: with the boys this weekend. No, I know you could 27 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: just go, but it certainly doesn't hurt to ask the 28 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: wife if she has anything extra you can do for 29 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: her on Saturday before you take off for beers in 30 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: eighteen holes on Sunday at noon? Does it? Ladies getting 31 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: ready to ask for some extra drapes in the house 32 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: might cost a bit of money. Well, a nice dinner 33 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: or two can sure grease those skids, can't they? Leverage? 34 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: Leverage is important in life. Leverage matters, and it's important 35 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: to use it when you have it, if you can 36 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: use it smartly. Because I want to talk about this, 37 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: you hear Kevin McCarthy getting up and saying things like 38 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: he's going to hold the swamp accountable. We will hold 39 00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 1: the swamp accountable. From the withdrawal of Afghanistan to the 40 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: origins of COVID into the weaponization of the FBI. Now, 41 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: let's pause for a moment here. I'm still cynical, Jesse. 42 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: Let's just say I'm cautiously optimistic about those things. I 43 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: am optimistic cautiously. But who was that up here? Up there? 44 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: Was that you? Did you take the gavel? Was that 45 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: me up there? Weaponization of the FBI? Why would he 46 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: get up and say? You know why he got up 47 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: and said that? Do you know why? As part of 48 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: the rules package, we have single subject bills, which we've 49 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: needed forever. They're gonna vote for term limits. Don't worry, 50 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: they'll vote them down, but they're gonna vote for term limits. 51 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: They have a special committee chaired by Jim Jordan, specifically 52 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: focused now on the weaponization of the federal government. My goodness, 53 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: that sounds outstanding. That's awesome. Why do we get all that? 54 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: We got all that because twenty people and the House 55 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: of Representatives realized that they had leverage and they chose 56 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: to use said leverage. And on this show, they're all 57 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: going to get a shout out by name. Here they 58 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: are Andy Biggs, Dan Bishop, Lauren Bober, Josh Breach, and 59 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:24,239 Speaker 1: Michael Cloud, Andrew Clyde, Eli Crane, Byron Donalds, Matt Gates, 60 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: Bob Good, Paul Gosar, Andy Harris, Ana Paulin and A Luna, 61 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: Mary Miller, Ralph Norman, Andy Ogul, Scott Perry, Matt Rosendale, 62 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: Keith self, and Chip Roy, Chip Roy, who will be 63 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: joining us very very shortly here. Now, let's just understand 64 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: something and let's be real, real, honest with ourselves as 65 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: we take another little side track before I get to 66 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: Chip and some other things. Do you remember COVID, not 67 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: not COVID when it was hot and heavy, COVID in 68 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 1: the very very beginning. Do you remember COVID, Because I'll 69 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: tell you I remember COVID, And you know what I 70 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: remember most about COVID. It actually wasn't Fauci or Trump Burkes. 71 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: It actually wasn't the media, It wasn't wasn't the American people, 72 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,239 Speaker 1: It wasn't any of that. What sticks with me from COVID, 73 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: it will always stick with me, was watching ninety percent 74 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: of the right politicians and pundits on the right, ninety 75 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: percent of them come out and loudly proclaimed their support 76 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: for fifteen days to slow the spread. That's right, It's 77 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: only fifteen days, hey, guys, millions may die taking the 78 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: company line, handing the communists everything they needed to completely 79 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: wreck the country. People have a rose colored lens when 80 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: they look at their own history. It wasn't the left 81 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: that I remember. It was the right. And I remember 82 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: the same people out there shouting from the rooftops it's 83 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: only fifteen days. They were the same people telling you 84 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: for the last week that these twenty brave ones, if 85 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 1: we're going to call them that. I realized they all 86 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: have different motivations, but that these twenty that they were selfish, 87 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: that they were what is that word they used, terrorists, 88 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: that they were traders, That this was going to end 89 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: up with a Democrat speaker. This might be the end 90 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,599 Speaker 1: of the world. Oh my goodness, what are we doing. 91 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: We didn't elect a speaker in the first fifteen minutes. 92 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 1: It was not the left, It was the right. It 93 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: was the people you watch on television. It was the 94 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: people you listen to on the radio. It was the 95 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: people who write for those publications. You wake up every 96 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: single morning, you grab your phone, or what are they 97 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: saying on this publication. I won't remember the left. They 98 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: did the same despicable stuff they always do. I will 99 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: remember the right. And here's the thing I want you 100 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: to remember the right as well, because that person on 101 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 1: the right you watch, listen to read who was wrong 102 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: at the beginning of COVID, seems to get every issue 103 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: wrong at the very beginning of it. You know, Saint 104 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: George Floyd COVID, the speakership, that same person who seems 105 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: to be wrong initially every single time, is somebody you 106 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: need to drop and cut out of your life. Because 107 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: here's what the problem we face in this country, truly, 108 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: truly is the problem we face is not the communists. 109 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: We know what they are, we know what they want. 110 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: We know they are ravenous, we know they were never quit. 111 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: We know we have to defeat them. We know all that, 112 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: all that stuff's baked in the cake. We got it. 113 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: The communists suck. The problem we have in this country 114 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: is the weapons grade loser mentality on the right. The 115 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: second someone actually takes a real stance, the second someone 116 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: stands for something, uses their leverage, tries to get real 117 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: things accomplished, the second things get a little oh uncomfortable. Guys, 118 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: that guy you watch on TV, listen to on the radio, 119 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: or read at nash Or immediately thinks that this is 120 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: too uncomfortable. Let's just lay down, let's give up. We 121 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: can't fight like this. Guys, ninety percent of the right 122 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: are a bunch of low tgop weenie losers. And I'm 123 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: not just talking about the politicians. All those people who've 124 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: spent all those years ranting against the establishment and the 125 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: swamp couldn't get down on their knees and kiss Kevin 126 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: McCarthy's but fast enough the second things got a little 127 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: bit uncomfortable for a speakership vote. That's the truth. And 128 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: have you seen the things these twenty brave souls got. 129 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: We mentioned them, things like actually going after the administrative 130 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: state in a real way, single issue bills, so many 131 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,479 Speaker 1: other things, issue after issue after issue. They're all outstanding. 132 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: I could read them all for you right now. I 133 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: will not, but just know I want you to go 134 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: get a list, and I want you to read that 135 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: list for yourself of all the things, all the concessions 136 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: they got from Kevin McCarthy. And more importantly than that, 137 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: I want you to remember all the people on the right, 138 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: not the politician, the pundits on the right who stood 139 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: against those things. You'd have none of them if the 140 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: right had their way. Remember that. With that, let's bring 141 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 1: in my friendship, Roy, who I've been blowing up his 142 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: phone trying to get him to run for senator. Don't 143 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: think that's going to stop anytime soon. Chip, you might 144 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: as well go ahead and block my number. But let's 145 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: focus on the whole speakership vote thing for now. You 146 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: were out early, and as you often are, you were 147 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: bold about your opposition, about the stances you were going 148 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: to take. Tell us why, everyone's put a lot of 149 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: words in your mouth. You tell us why. Well, first 150 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: of all, it was really important after the election to 151 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: recognize that the American people sent a message they do 152 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: want change. Now, we probably could have performed a little 153 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: better in November if we'd have done a variety of 154 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: things differently, in my opinion, but here we are. We 155 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: have the House majority, The American people expect us to 156 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: do what we said we would do, and given that 157 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: we had a fairly thin majority, it was very clear 158 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: that we needed to estab publish how this game is 159 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: going to be played and make it very clear that 160 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: we need to sit down at the table and advance 161 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: conservative priorities. A few of my colleagues leaned into the 162 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 1: fight with hardcore saying look, we're opposing McCarthy. I raised 163 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: a lot of questions saying, well, I need the leader 164 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: to make clear what he's going to do to lead 165 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 1: us forward. And we sent a memo out in early December, 166 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: December eighth, where we outlined what we believed were the 167 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 1: key areas that needed to be addressed by any speaker candidate. 168 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: So we spent the last month almost exactly negotiating through 169 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: those things. It took a while to get where we 170 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: needed to go. Frankly, probably could have should have been 171 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: done before January third, but sometimes it just takes the 172 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: pressure of getting through the moment in order to get 173 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: where you need to go. And look, we had a 174 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: great week where the American people got to see one 175 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty four people in a chamber, when people 176 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: raising ideas and thoughts and differences of opinion and standing 177 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: up for them. And I think that resonate. I think 178 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 1: the American people saw that, and I think all the 179 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: talking heads there was like one hundred and eighty degree 180 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: switch in the middle of last week by a lot 181 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: of the talking heads who started the week going, oh, 182 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 1: those knuckleheads, they're all in it for personal gain. And 183 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: you know then they started saying, wait a second, they're 184 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: just trying to push for openness, open rules, be able 185 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: to cut spending. They want to limit spending. That sounds 186 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: a lot like why we actually set them there so crazy? 187 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: We're with them, Chip, Will you please expand on limiting spending? 188 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: Now that's music to my ears. Just take a hack 189 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: s out of that whole thing, but explain what's getting cut. 190 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: Because I'm positive every low TGOP loser in DC's talking 191 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: talking about you taking away grandma's Social Security check right now. Well, 192 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: you're exactly right. It took the proximately point two seconds 193 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: for everybody. You're saying, you're gonna slaughter defense, You're gonna 194 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,839 Speaker 1: take away your ability to depend on our country. You're 195 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: gonna get hurt SoC security and Medica. Everybody calmed down. 196 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: Here's what we did. Number one, We change the process 197 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: so that we have to be able to see the 198 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: rules for the bills that are produced for seventy two hours. 199 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: And we've got a rules committee, which is the one 200 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: who decides how this stuff gets to the floor that now, 201 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: and has conservatives on it that can enforce those rules. 202 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,679 Speaker 1: We have single subject. We have Germaine. This that all 203 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: changes the tenor so you can't pile a lot of 204 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: stuff in there. But here's the important part. We required 205 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: that we be able to offer amendments on the floor 206 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: during the appropriations fight to cut spending. Now, lords, we 207 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: would have an open rule process for cutting spending. That's 208 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: been embraced. That's a big deal. We haven't done that 209 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: for years. And then the final partner we got an 210 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: agreement and we talked to the speaker about this about 211 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: limiting spending. That would that we would cap spending at 212 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: Fiscal year twenty two levels. Now, that's still an outrageously 213 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: high level of spending gency, but in order to balance 214 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: the budget over ten years, in order to get that 215 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 1: accomplished and not undermine our ability to spend what we 216 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: need for defense, we agreed to do an FY twenty 217 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: two cap. That would be one of the biggest reductions 218 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: in spending in history, and we would be frankly, that 219 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: would be an enormous win. But here's the key. You 220 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: got to use the leverage points to do it. That's 221 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: when we get the spending mechanism in September or say 222 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: in July, when we are going through June or July, 223 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 1: the dead ceiling fight, leverage. It seems like someone else 224 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: is just talking about that. All right, Now, explain this 225 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 1: to me, Jo, Explain to me all the opposition towards it. 226 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: Because when you lay things out to hear you talk 227 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: about that a moderate spending cut, that's nothing scary or drastic, 228 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: certainly not what I know you would probably do if 229 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: you were a dictator. We're talking about single issue bills. 230 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: We're talking about a term limit vote. We're talking about 231 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: basic accountability for the FBI, which we'll get to in 232 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,599 Speaker 1: a second. Now, this is this is conservatism, one on 233 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: one for what people want today. And yet ninety percent 234 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: of the GOP punday class opposed to you for the 235 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: last week. Why well, here's the thing. We laid out 236 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 1: in very clear term in December eighth that we wanted 237 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 1: certain structural reforms. We were able to get a lot 238 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: of those things adopted or agreed to, I should say, 239 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: but there were the key things that mattered for substantive issues, spending, 240 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: being able to fight for the border. So you're putting 241 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: up the Texas Border Plan. We wanted to make sure 242 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: we were going to advance the Texas Border Plan, which 243 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: all but one members of the Republican delegation from Texas 244 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: supported and got behind because it actually focuses on security. 245 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: We were able to mandate, you know, hey, we need 246 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: to end the COVID bnd aids. We wanted to make 247 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: sure that we were going to get a term limits vote. 248 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: There were things that we thought were really important that 249 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: weren't a part of the commitment that needed to be 250 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: put forward. But what we were able to do, I 251 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: think was showed that there was a backlash from the 252 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: swamp when you dare stand up and say here are 253 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: the things that need to be done. And then at 254 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: the end of the day, we showed that we were 255 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: able to win by taking it to the American people. 256 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: That was on display when Mike Rodgers and Matt Gates 257 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: had little bit of tension on Friday night, and look, 258 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: I think Matt has handled that very well and Mike too. Subsequently, 259 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: they've on social media said hey, we're going to work together. 260 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: But that was Hey, the ones who are the insurgents 261 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: pushing and saying we need change, and then the establishment 262 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: the Order of the Chairman saying no, we're not going 263 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 1: to change. We need to do that. As I said, 264 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: yesterday on one of the shows, A little temporary conflict 265 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: is really important in order to force the changes here 266 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: so the Republicans can do what we said we would do. 267 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: I don't fear those conflicts. We wake up tomorrow and 268 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: we all figure out how to work together because that's 269 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: what we're paid to do. But damn it, I'm going 270 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 1: to force that when it needs to be forced. Hey man, 271 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: all right. Finally, the FBI. This is my biggest issue 272 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: because I believe what's happening right now with the administrative 273 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: stable end this nation. If it is not fixed. I 274 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: love that we have some sort of accountability coming. What 275 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: does it look like? What do we have? What don't 276 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: we have? Well, first of all, Jim Jordan is obviously 277 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: an extraordinary chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Proud to serve 278 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: on it and proud to serve with him. What we've 279 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: been striving for and pushing for an independent church style 280 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: committee is to elevate the extent to which we are 281 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: saying that we need broad powers across the entirety of 282 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: all of the various agencies. And then we decided, ultimately 283 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: in the end, rather than independently doing that, to marry 284 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: it with the Judiciary Committee as a powerful select subcommittee 285 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: where Jim would be able to be in charge of 286 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: that from the top as the chairman. We're still figuring 287 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: out how to structure that, and there's a number of 288 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: ways to do that in terms of personnel. But it's 289 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: really critically important that we go after the FBI, the 290 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: Roman Homeland Security, the intel agencies, all of the power 291 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: brokers for what they've done. And here's the important part also, 292 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: Bauchi and all of those involved, the NIH and CDC 293 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: and the FDA, all of the decisions that they have 294 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: made absolutely abhorrent what they've done to the American people. 295 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: And Jesse, you've been one of the ones leading on that, 296 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: along with my good friend Steve Days and some other 297 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 1: making clear that this is completely unacceptable and we need 298 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: to make sure that this weaponization and government it's made 299 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 1: clear it's not just the FBI, it's not just intelligence agencies, 300 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: it's the whole apparatus, the whole apparatus of bureaucrats who 301 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: are at war with the American people. And then that 302 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 1: needs to be made clear, that needs to be put 303 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: on display, and then we need to lay out a 304 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,679 Speaker 1: roadmap on what we need to deal with it in 305 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: terms of defunding or transforming these agencies. Congressman, go get them. 306 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: Are rooting for you. Thanks, Jesse Gotblass. Take care. All right, 307 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna hear what Josh Hammer thinks about all this next. 308 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: All that may have made you uncomfortable, but I'm writing 309 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: so it's chip. You know what else is right? Not 310 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: getting scammed anymore, not getting stuck in a time share 311 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,200 Speaker 1: you don't want. And I know what's happened to you already. 312 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: I know about the annual fees, I get all, I 313 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: get all the emails, annual fees, doubling, special assessments.

We didn't have 336 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: to keep doing that. Oh, it was so uncomfortable. We argued, 337 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: and we've fought. It was so achy. Joining me now, 338 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: my friend Josh Hammer of the Josh Hammer Show, also 339 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 1: opinion editor at Newsweek. Josh, why all the fighting? It's 340 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: only America? Jesse, happy me, You're good to see you again. Jesse. 341 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: Thank you personally as well for being one of the 342 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: relative a few sane, sane conservative talking heads who actually 343 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: got this one right, What is wrong, like, seriously, what 344 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: is wrong with the people on our proverbial side, especially 345 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: in kind of the legacy kind of corporate right of 346 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 1: center media who just had meltdown after meltdown about these infidels, 347 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: these rebels, these terrorists. What is the plan? Who is 348 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: the speaker? Guys? What is wrong with a few days 349 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: of deliberating to make sure that the living, breathing embodiments 350 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: of K Street corrupt Republicanism? Which is Kevin McCarthy, That 351 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: is always who Kevin McCarthy has been. This is the 352 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: data that he ascended to the US House from Bakersfield, California. 353 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: What is wrong with a few days of delibering to 354 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,199 Speaker 1: make sure that he becomes a very weak speaker and 355 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: is able to then concede or is able to grant 356 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: concessions to conservative fire brands like our mutual friendship Roy 357 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: and so forth. There there's nothing wrong with that. There 358 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: is literally nothing wrong with that. And what I would 359 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: personally like to see, Jesse, I would personally like to 360 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: see if those who since day one, since before the 361 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: first ballot in the House was even cast, We're going 362 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 1: to the mattresses to excoriate all of the car of 363 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: these detractors who are trying to kind of bolster his chances. 364 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: I would like to hear of those commentators now say 365 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 1: whether or not they support the concessions. Do they support 366 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 1: the fact that three House Freedom Caucus members will now 367 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: beyond the very influential House Rules Committee. Do they support 368 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: the fact that there will be now twelve individual appropriations 369 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: packages as opposed to one gargantuan, grotesque one point seven 370 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: to two trillion dollars whatever. I'm the bus bill, you know, 371 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: a modicum of intellectual honesty. I think that this particular 372 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: moment would be appreciated. So I'm kind of fed up 373 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: with it, to be honest with you, it was a 374 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: very eye opening week. I thought, Okay, Josh, I actually 375 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: want to ask you a very important question. In my opinion, 376 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: it's generally the most important question why. And this is 377 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: what I mean now. I have my own theory on why. 378 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 1: But okay, politicians are wanings. That sucks. But so many 379 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: of these people who spent the last week yell about 380 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: a three or four day argument on the House for 381 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: are people I grew up reading, I grew up following, 382 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: I grew up watching on television. I grew up listening 383 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: to the radio show, grew up always consider them being 384 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 1: on our side and freedom fighters, And I not hesitants 385 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: to say I've learned a lot from them, and yet 386 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: at the first sign of a little tiff, they all 387 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: couldn't lay down fast enough. Why Jesse, It's an unpleasant 388 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: question to ask, but it's a question that has to 389 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: be asked. Look, I mean, I have read multiple of 390 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: Mark Levin's books. I mean, I think Mark Levin's Liberty 391 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: and Tyranny, which is kind of his Tea Party era manifesto. 392 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: I think he published a book around two thousand and 393 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: nine or so. That book was very influential. I remember 394 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: reading him when I was in college. I was in 395 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: college at the time. I mean, I've read multiple of 396 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: Mark's books. Actually, and you know, he Mark is not 397 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: the only one. I'm not trying to kind of cast 398 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: fingers soldy on him. There were a number, there were 399 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: really a galling number of very prominent right of center 400 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: commentators in the radio space and the columnists space. And 401 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: I guess the only obvious answer that comes to mind, Jesse. 402 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: And I'm just speculating here. I don't pretend to know this, 403 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: but the answer that comes to mind is just access 404 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: is access and influence. You kind of have to assume 405 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: that Kevin McCarthy personally and his closest allies, his chief 406 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: of staff, you know, his closest deputies and whips in 407 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 1: the House Republican Caucus probably called up a lot of 408 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: these folks and said, you know, if you do this, 409 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,479 Speaker 1: then you know we will kind of value your opinion 410 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: on this bill. I'm just speculating here. I really I 411 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 1: have no inside knowledge of how this kind of thing 412 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: goes down whatsoever. I would like to think that I 413 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: personally am not compromised like this when it comes to 414 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: my calling the shots in the commentariat space. But I 415 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: have to think that kind of access and ability to 416 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 1: possibly kind of shape legislation or shape the governance of 417 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: the Chamber of the US House is probably what's going 418 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: on here. Yeah, boy, yeah, maybe that's maybe it's just 419 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: that simple. I don't know, Josh, it's weird. Maybe they 420 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: lost my number. I didn't get any of those phone calls. 421 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: All right, now, Kevin McCarthy, what kind of power does 422 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 1: he have? You mentioned that he's very very restricted, effectively 423 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: neutered by a lot of this So Okay, what should 424 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: we be watching out for? Because you gonna have to 425 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: forgive me if I don't trust him, No, nor should 426 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: you trust him. I mean, look, Kevin McCarthy, like I 427 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: just said, I mean, he is who he is, and 428 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: he's the same man that he has been since he 429 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: got to the US House. There is one thing and 430 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: one thing only that Kevin McCarthy has always cared about, 431 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: and it is Kevin McCarthy's own power. It is his 432 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,920 Speaker 1: own career advancement, that is his own kind of climbing 433 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: through the ranks, and he is willing to go to 434 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: any measure to do so. He is k Street's favor 435 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: Republican because he is infamously chummy with right of center lobbyists. 436 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: He is corrupted by various domestic and foreign interest because 437 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy is all about the quid pro quol trade 438 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 1: you xper why the compromised kind of game. He's a 439 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: big proponent of a manufacturing crises. He loves. He's kind 440 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: of one point seven trill, the last minute omnibus voice 441 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: down the throat to the members style of governance. There 442 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: so these concessions that you know, Chip Roy and the 443 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: merry Bands of quote unquote terrorists. The concessions that they 444 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: were able to extract include, from my perspective, crucially a 445 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: single member motion to Baka, which of course means that 446 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: any single member of the US House can actually force 447 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: a full vote to vacate the Speaker's chair. And you know, 448 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: I saw a Chip give an interview to one of 449 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: the Sunday shows I guess was this past weekend, I don't, 450 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: I think it was CNNI camera which Sunday show it was, 451 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: and basically asked him like, do you plan to stand 452 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: on guard to potentially use this single member motion to 453 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: bak And he kind of, you know, he didn't give 454 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,400 Speaker 1: a very straight answer, but he pretty clearly said yes. 455 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,959 Speaker 1: So I think Chip and a handful of others are 456 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: going to be kind of watching him mccarofy like a 457 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: hawk now. But one thing that stands out in particular 458 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: that I'm very excited about is the fact that they 459 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 1: were able to get a guarantee that there will be 460 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: these twelve individual appropriations built. So if you take that seriously, 461 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: these are the twelve bills that fund the government every 462 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: fiscal year, year and a year round. That is a huge, 463 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 1: huge win for fiscal sanity. I mean the fact that 464 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: we will not have to face hopefully not to face 465 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: these gargantuan last minute I'm the bus two trillion dollars 466 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: or the government shuts down situation there. But again, the 467 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,360 Speaker 1: fail sife mechanism is this motion to vacate. And it's 468 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: just very very very good for conservatives that they were 469 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: able to extract that. Who is Kevin McCarthy, Josh, Obviously 470 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: everyone knows who he is now, but I know you've 471 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: known who he is for a long time, but the 472 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: average Joe generally doesn't. You mentioned Bakersfield, California. You mentioned 473 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: he's chummy with lobbyists. Now, he did stand against, loudly, 474 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: publicly stood against that one point seven trillion dollars omnibus bill. 475 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: Is this guy, Mitch McConnell lyte? Is he better? Is 476 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: he he any christ too? Is he? Look? Keim McCarthy 477 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: is a career politician. I mean he was in the 478 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: California Sate Legislature before he went to the US House. 479 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: Kim McCarthy, who also went on the cover of a 480 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: book along with Paul Ryan and Eric Canter, who of 481 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: course have since left the House. Three of them kind 482 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: of were the they're the very kind of public facing 483 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: portion of this young guns program that the Republican Party 484 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: around the time of the Tea Party era twenty ten, 485 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: two eleven or so, they're really trying to kind of 486 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 1: promote this. They were supposed to be kind of the young, 487 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: up and coming face of the Republican Party. But again, 488 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: the problem that so many of us who are kind 489 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: of conviction conservatives, who are kind of ideologically motivated conservatives, 490 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: the same problem that all of us have with Kevin 491 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: McCarthy is that no one is able to discern what 492 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 1: his putitive principles are. Now he kind of unveiled this 493 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: commitment for America during this past campaign cycle, it seemed 494 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: to me like he wasn't necessarily particularly eager to unveil. 495 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: His hand was kind of forced by a lot of 496 00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: people who were kind of saying, what's the plan. What's 497 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: the plan? I you know, other than the most kind 498 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: of like mealy mouthed milktoast of all Republican policies, like 499 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: cutting taxes, like boosting domestic energy production, I'm sure Kevin 500 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: McCarthy supports that. But other than that kind of nineteen 501 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: eighties style problem, I'm really just not entirely sure what 502 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy stands for, because again, he's not a conviction politician. 503 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: He is a pure kind of power for me, woe 504 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 1: to the style politician. That's really who he is to 505 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: his core. Josh, I just mentioned the Anti Christ, and 506 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,920 Speaker 1: I forgot that you're Jewish? Did Jews believe in the 507 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: Anti Christ? Jesse? I have to say that the Anti 508 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: Christ is not a particularly important figure in Jewish theology. 509 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 1: But you know, I chose to kind of roll with 510 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: your question, my friend. Thanks Josh, That's Josh Hammer, the 511 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: Josh Hammer Show.

And did you know, your body gets 522 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: used to it, and so then you have to switch 523 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: to a different over the counter allergy medication. I don't 524 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: take any of that anymore. No more cotton mouth at 525 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: night because of that stupid stuff. Nope.

We'll be bad military exercises 533 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: as we go into this Week in Wokeism, because it's 534 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: time now for this Week in Wokeism. But military exercises. 535 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: Here's the thing about military exercises. Historically, sometimes they're actually exercises. 536 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: There's going out there practicing. Guys, gotta do a little 537 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: pope practicing. I did these a bunch when I was 538 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: in the Marine Corps. Would go out and we'd be 539 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: in the middle of California, and we obviously weren't invading California, sadly, 540 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,840 Speaker 1: but we weren't invading Californias. We're just out there doing 541 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: an exercise. And then there's the other kind. Sometimes military 542 00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: exercises aren't really exercises at all. Sometimes they're mobilization, remember 543 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: mobilization and simply moving necessary things in place. And sometimes 544 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: their mobilization and rehearsals. Sometimes it's a big dress rehearsal 545 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: for the real thing. I don't even bring this up. 546 00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. Because China is launched a massive sea 547 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 1: and air combat exercise over the weekend Taiwan. We're talking jets, 548 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: the works, it looks like, and you never know that. Look, 549 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: this could be the first kind. It could just be exercises, 550 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: but it sure looks like Jijin Ping and the Chinese 551 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 1: Communist Party has decided now is the time. Maybe now 552 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: is a good time to bring up a couple of things. One, 553 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: Joe Biden famously committed US troops to this conflict with 554 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: the other major power on the planet. Kind of seems 555 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: like a big deal. In two while the Chinese were 556 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: giving their troops and testosterone injections, let's look in on 557 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: what the US military was doing. Well, we're renaming infrastructure, 558 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: we're renaming bases, nine army bases to be specific to 559 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: Navy ships, more than a thousand items in America military installations. 560 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: We're also removed being a Confederate monument from Arlington National Cemetery. 561 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: But wait, there's more. The State Department has announced they're 562 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: making one point five million dollars available in grant funding 563 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: for LGBTQI communities. Yes, you see, while China is putting 564 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: nuclear attack subs in the water day after day and 565 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: making sure they're ready to go on conquest the United 566 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 1: States of America, or let's be honest, the US of Gay. 567 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: We're tearing down Confederate monuments and the State Department is 568 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 1: handing out cash to every Rainbow brigade in the world. 569 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: Right now, you see, only one country is taking defense seriously. 570 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 1: The other country, let's be honest, their military is more 571 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: focused on their new national religion, and that's us here 572 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: in the US of Gay. The Department of Defense has 573 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: simply a different mission. Worried about stopping China, not worried 574 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: about protecting Taiwan, not worried about protecting America. America. To 575 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: be frank, I mean, here's one of our four star admirals, 576 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: So we really want to to debase our treatment and 577 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: h and to affirm and to support and empower these youths, 578 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: not to limit their participation in activities to sports and 579 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: even a limit their ability to get gender affirmation treatment 580 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: in their state. Don't think, hey, look if you want 581 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: some comfort, don't think that this was just in the military. 582 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 1: All this stuff is going on. I want you to 583 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,520 Speaker 1: listen very closely to this therapist from Nashville. When I 584 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: looked at a client's mom and said, do you want 585 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 1: a transgender kid or a dead kid or fun looks 586 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: from everyone in their own Okay, we have a huge 587 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: problem in this country. We have a new national religion. 588 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:06,720 Speaker 1: It is a destructive religion. It is an evil religion. 589 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: There is no bottom to the US of Gay. You 590 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: should understand that. People ask when does this end? Because 591 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: clearly they're grooming children now. Our friend Kia Davis at 592 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: Red State has a story out about a shock six 593 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: hundred Chicago educators grooming children. This has become a nation 594 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:27,760 Speaker 1: where we now we pray on kids routinely, not just teachers, doctors, 595 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: the system itself all part of this US of gay 596 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: downward cycle. Where does it end? It doesn't end, because 597 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: evil doesn't actually have a bottom at all. That is 598 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 1: the truth. Evil has no bottom. It doesn't stop until 599 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: good comes up and stops it. They are after your kids, 600 00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: all right, we still have a ton more to get to. 601 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 1: You're gonna want to stay tuned for the raccoons, I'll explain. 602 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: But I know something else. We have to be ready. 603 00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 1: We have to be very ready to fight, because again, 604 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,799 Speaker 1: it doesn't stop until we stop. It's just the fact 605 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,319 Speaker 1: they're not going to wake up one day and say 606 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: we should stop.

Yeah, I know, 630 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,240 Speaker 1: it's actually kind of hard, even as someone who follows 631 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: the stuff to care about the Golden Globes. But they 632 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: took a little recess last year. They're back this week. 633 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: They were protested so hard, basically by Hollywood's ever present 634 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: woke brigade, because they did a survey and found out 635 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: there was not a single black journalist and the voting 636 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 1: committee of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which is pretty 637 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: funny from the sort of like ypocrisy standard that the 638 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 1: people who complain the most about all of these various 639 00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: things we're failing so hard on their own measures. They're 640 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 1: back this year. They're doing a lot of splashy advertising, 641 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:14,320 Speaker 1: and they're trying to sort of reappear as the booze 642 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: fueled sort of awards season romp where celebrities just let loose. 643 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 1: So it's kind of a test to see whether the 644 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: so called vibe shift has actually hit Hollywood is actually 645 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,200 Speaker 1: going to trickle into pop culture. Are people actually so 646 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,760 Speaker 1: sick of woke nonsense, of cancel culture that the Golden 647 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: Globes can be a little bit more fun again? I 648 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: don't know, but I think it'll be a test of 649 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: that to some extent. I know these awards shows are 650 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,759 Speaker 1: a lot of fun for Hollywood people types, but is 651 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: this something that the audience actually cares about? To people 652 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: watch these And I'm not insulting people if that's what 653 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: you're into, but I just I've never watched them. I've 654 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: never understood why people do. But are these things a 655 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: big deal? There was an amazing chart that went around 656 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: last week showing all of the top broadcasts in America 657 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 1: for the course of the last year, and it's just 658 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: football down the line, football, football, football. They use little 659 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 1: emojis to show it. And there was one and it 660 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,359 Speaker 1: was the Academy Awards, out of like a hundred that 661 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:12,759 Speaker 1: was entertainment related, and it was way down. I think 662 00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,520 Speaker 1: it was like the seventieth most popular something to that extent. 663 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 1: So it's not nearly as popular as it used to be, 664 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: and it's not nearly as popular as American football and 665 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,439 Speaker 1: sports still are in this country. For Hollywood, of course, 666 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,800 Speaker 1: they've started to award themselves for these more art house films, 667 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: and they're not giving it to say, like Top Gun Maverick, right, 668 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 1: And I don't know if anybody would would call that 669 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,799 Speaker 1: an Academy Award winning film. Maybe I would. But they're 670 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,600 Speaker 1: not awarding The Titanics, they're not awarding The Lord of 671 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,759 Speaker 1: the Rings, these big blockbuster movies. And that's part of 672 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: the reason why the audience just doesn't care anymore, because 673 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: they're not seeing the films, the sort of artsy films 674 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: that are getting awarded more and more. So it's harder 675 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:53,799 Speaker 1: for them to draw an audience when they're more and 676 00:38:53,840 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 1: more disconnected from the broader American movie going audience anyway, artsy? Actually, 677 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,720 Speaker 1: that just sounds awful artsy, all right, Harry, Of course 678 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 1: she can't. You can't turn on the television or get 679 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: in the grocery. I want look at the magazines without 680 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:12,160 Speaker 1: seeing this guy's stupid face everywhere. Here's Harry recently. But 681 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: then you add in the race sentiment, which was what 682 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,000 Speaker 1: the press, British press jumped on straight away. I went 683 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,360 Speaker 1: into this incredibly naive. I had no idea the British 684 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,240 Speaker 1: press was so bigoted. Hell, I always probably be biggoted 685 00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 1: the relationship with Megan. You think you were bigoted before 686 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,399 Speaker 1: the relationship with me I don't know. Put it this way, 687 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 1: I didn't see what I now see. That's so great. 688 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: I'll never get over that I was racist until I 689 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 1: met a hot black chick. All right, Emily, Why are 690 00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: these people all over everywhere? I just don't know much 691 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: about the royal family. What's with the press tour? Now? 692 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,080 Speaker 1: Who are these people? I know? Well, so they have 693 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,239 Speaker 1: a deal with Netflix where they launched this docuseries that's 694 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,040 Speaker 1: actually been pretty popular. A lost people are watching it. 695 00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 1: But what that means isn't just people love Harry and Megan. 696 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,759 Speaker 1: It means, you know, some percentage of the audience is 697 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:07,959 Speaker 1: obviously hate watching this because the level of entitlement and 698 00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: just complaining from some of the wealthiest and most powerful 699 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 1: people on planet Earth actually draws a lot of ire 700 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 1: to the point where people want to pay attention to 701 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,720 Speaker 1: them exactly so that they can have opinions about how 702 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,440 Speaker 1: horrible they are. People are deeply annoyed by them. And 703 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: Prince Harry's had a couple of interesting things there. First 704 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,840 Speaker 1: of all, he's infamous for wearing a Nazi uniform to 705 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: a Halloween party when he was younger, so yeah, maybe 706 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,399 Speaker 1: you were bigoted, Prince Harry. And secondly, he is being 707 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:37,800 Speaker 1: ridiculous to say the British pet Press jumped on the 708 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,279 Speaker 1: race angle right away with Meg and Markle. She was 709 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: completely popular in both the UK and in America when 710 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: she first came on the scene. Actually, people really liked 711 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:50,040 Speaker 1: her until she started becoming more sort of personally indulgent, 712 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,879 Speaker 1: and it came off as whiny, and it came off 713 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: as totally totally disconnected from them from the planet when 714 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 1: she's everywhere on private flights and complaining about the environment. 715 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 1: When she's stirring the pot constantly and then pointing the 716 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: finger at other people. So there's just it's fodder for 717 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 1: the way that very wealthy, privileged people see themselves as victims, 718 00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,719 Speaker 1: and that really sets off a lot of people, and 719 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,200 Speaker 1: I think that's partially why this conversation is so popular. 720 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 1: All right, let's ask a political question here as we 721 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: wrap this thing up here. The GOP and big tech amazingly, 722 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: because most people aren't on social media, most people aren't 723 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: on Twitter. Amazingly, the Twitter files just isn't getting a 724 00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 1: whole lot of play, but there has been some shocking 725 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,719 Speaker 1: revelations in the Twitter files. We now have a GOP House, 726 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,120 Speaker 1: we don't have the Senate, we'd have the presidency. Are 727 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,680 Speaker 1: we going to get anything done? There's a lot of 728 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 1: pressure on House Republicans to actually really really ramp up 729 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 1: the pressure on these investigations so the public wants to 730 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,120 Speaker 1: see it. And Freedom Caucus members, who threw their weight 731 00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,720 Speaker 1: around really successfully over the course of the last week, 732 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,799 Speaker 1: no that the public wants them to demand this. And 733 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,640 Speaker 1: there's already talking of subpoenas going to the White House 734 00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: for their relationship with Big Tack over the last couple 735 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 1: of years to really peer into and open this up. 736 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 1: And so now that the Twitter files have come out, 737 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,840 Speaker 1: that actually gives House Republican investigators more fodder to figure 738 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,279 Speaker 1: out what subpoenas to send. We know the January six 739 00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 1: Committee shattered a bunch of precedents when it comes to subpoenas. 740 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,520 Speaker 1: Twitter files revealed Adam Schiff's staff was looking to get accounts, 741 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: for instance, silenced on Twitter. Well, I wonder where there 742 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,839 Speaker 1: could be a subpoena in that direction. So I think 743 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 1: the confluence of the Twitter files and a new Republican 744 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: House coming in and having a lot of pressure on 745 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: them with a slim majority to probe some of this 746 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 1: stuff is it's actually a good sort of timing for 747 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 1: both of those things, because you could see subpoenas start 748 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 1: to fly, You could see the investigation starting to go 749 00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 1: in a more targeted direction because of the Twitter files 750 00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: and because House Republicans have so much pressure on them. 751 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,360 Speaker 1: So I think the next few months, next six months 752 00:42:56,440 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 1: might be really instructive in this topic. Awesome, Emily, come 753 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:07,920 Speaker 1: back soon. I appreciate you. Thanks, Jesse. All right, we've 754 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:09,840 Speaker 1: got to lighten the mood coming up. You know what 755 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:14,840 Speaker 1: else we have Liz Wheeler.

Each morning, the President of 763 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: the United States receives a highly classified briefing on the 764 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 1: most important issues facing the country.
