1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: Closer nominees or have a nominee. Should they be primer? 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 2: If they are unreasonable, I'll give you a different answer 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 2: and answer that you'll be shocked to hear. If they're unreasonable, 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 2: if they're opposing somebody for political reasons or stupid reasons, 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 2: I would say has nothing to do with me. I 6 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 2: would say they probably would be primary. But if they're reasonable, fair, 7 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 2: and really disagree with something or somebody, I could see 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 2: that happening. But I do believe that if they are. 9 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: I think we have great people. 10 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 2: I think we have a great group of people. 11 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 3: How far can Donald push these Donald Trump push these members? 12 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 3: How far can he push them to say you're going 13 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 3: to do what I say? 14 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: Or else? 15 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 3: Do you think they're willing to cross him? On Pete 16 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 3: hagsitth on Telsea Gabbard, maybe even on RFK Junior. 17 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 4: I mean the good part is we're starting to see 18 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 4: the system actually play out. We said, well, there's not 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 4: going to be any guardrails. Well, I mean they're kind 20 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 4: of still is. And to Joe's point, it's like these 21 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 4: guys aren't. 22 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: Up for the job. 23 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 4: You can get somebody else will be nice, We'll do 24 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 4: it politely and quietly and then we'll give you all 25 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 4: everything else that you want. So I think that's how 26 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 4: it's going to play out. 27 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: But do you think about Pete. 28 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 4: I mean, the Pentagon would swallow him up in one week. 29 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 5: That's doesn't say you just pushed aside all the other 30 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 5: horrific metwords of judgment. You look at his lack of anexperience. 31 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 5: And I've said it time and time began. You know, 32 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 5: that's a job. I'm sure you and I think we 33 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 5: could do most jobs. 34 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: I don't want that job. That job. I don't want 35 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: that job. 36 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 5: I remember Chris Lake called me up and he said, 37 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 5: he said, hey, I may be able to take the 38 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 5: CNN job. 39 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: I go, let me tell you the two jobs you 40 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: don't I said this, there are two jobs in America. 41 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 5: You don't want the CNN job because of the bureaucracy. 42 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: And the Pentagon. 43 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 5: And I said that like years ago, but the Pentagons 44 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 5: even harder. 45 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 6: The bureaucracy will swallow you up all unless you really 46 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 6: have been walking those corridors for years. 47 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: I mean there was all Surbs Committee. 48 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 6: You know, for four terms, and and even then it 49 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 6: was like I mean the weapons systems, the training, the tanks, 50 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 6: the guns, the bullets, bureaucrats, the cybersecurity, I. 51 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: Mean, like the housing, the benefits. It would swallow anybody. 52 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: He's not up to the task. 53 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 5: If you want to reform the Pentagon, exactly right, you 54 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 5: better get somebody that knows the Pentagon. 55 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. 56 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 7: Tell me about how you at the ACLU are thinking 57 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 7: about your plans to try to defend American civil liberties 58 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 7: in this term versus the first term. 59 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 8: Well, we've been planning for almost a year. We were 60 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 8: anticipating the possibility. 61 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: That he would win this election. 62 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 8: So we've spent thousands of staff hours studying Project twenty 63 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 8: twenty five, tracking the campaign promises, going back and playing 64 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 8: back what happened in Trump one point oh to see 65 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 8: what might happen with Trump two point zero. And so 66 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 8: we've been trying to get ready for this whole period 67 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 8: of time. We clearly we can run the same playbook. 68 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 8: They're going to be more aggressive, they're smarter, they're faster 69 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 8: off the block, they are really going for the They're 70 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 8: running the gauntlet on many of the policy issues, and 71 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 8: they didn't dare try last time. They're going to run 72 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 8: the ball down the field, and so we have to 73 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 8: be much smarter and much better prepared litigation is. 74 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: Going to be key. 75 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 8: The courts still are a place where we would have 76 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 8: to turn to. We have to be wide eyed that 77 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 8: the courts are also increasingly conservative, and he will appoint 78 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 8: in new judges onto the courts. It's also true that 79 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 8: Biden appointed a record number of judges on the courts, 80 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 8: and so not all is lost, but bid lawyers are 81 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 8: going to have to earn earn their pay by picking 82 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 8: the right clients, the right cases, the right theories. Where 83 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 8: do you file, where do you settle? Where do you 84 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 8: really push the envelope? And that's what really we're working 85 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 8: through right now. 86 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 9: If you're not going to play ball, then you're going 87 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 9: to be an enemy. 88 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 7: And so you either settle a. 89 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 9: Defamation lawsuit the way that ABC did, or you kind 90 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 9: of cow tew in advance and you kind of say, 91 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 9: you know what, I've done the cost benefit analysis, and 92 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 9: it makes better sense for me in my financial bottom 93 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 9: line to be able to keep a safe distance from 94 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 9: you if you're Donald Trump. 95 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 10: Yeah, the ABC settling that definition suit really was not 96 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:27,280 Speaker 10: helpful to anyone in the press, frankly, because that only 97 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 10: has emboldened people in Trump world. 98 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: You know, if you talk to the. 99 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 10: Lawyers this weekend over what happened, they're very very happy, like, 100 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 10: you know, this is fantastic. You know, this opens up 101 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 10: the path for them to sue other news outlets, other 102 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 10: individual reporters, and they're absolutely discussing this. I mean, the 103 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,799 Speaker 10: moment they were done with the ABC suit, the discussion 104 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 10: shifted to, oh, who's next. Maybe it's CBS. We really 105 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 10: didn't like that sixty minutes thing. And then on Sunday 106 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 10: night at the New York and Republican Club gala, which 107 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 10: I attended, you know, the keynote speaker was Steve ba 108 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 10: and Steve Bannon was talking about it's time to prosecute 109 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 10: the news media and people on this network as well. 110 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 10: And so what has previously been confined to the ethas 111 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 10: of the MAGA universe is now coming out to the 112 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 10: full and they're feeling emboldened to do it. And I 113 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 10: think we should take this extremely seriously because they're saying 114 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 10: it out loud. 115 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: Now. 116 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 7: When you talk to regular Americans who aren't lawyers, who 117 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 7: aren't people who are engaged in this fight in a practical, 118 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 7: paid to do it as part of their job kind 119 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 7: of way, and you hear people feeling intimidated, sure, feeling 120 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 7: overwhelmed by the pace at which we're getting sort of 121 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 7: alarming news about the extremism of their plans. What do 122 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 7: you tell them about the prospects for holding life. 123 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 8: The local governments, you know, the state attorney's general, the governors, 124 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 8: the mayors. We have this whole plan around a firewall 125 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 8: for freedom. We call it the idea that these local 126 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 8: officials can really play an important role in stopping the 127 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 8: worst of the government abuses. Well, for instance, when they're 128 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 8: going to try to detain, deport all these hundreds of 129 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 8: thousands up to a million people, that's an operation that 130 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 8: they have the legal power to do, to do the 131 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 8: raids for the logistics, and they're going to need mayors 132 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 8: and governors or city councils to either give them access 133 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 8: to police officers or not jails. We are you going 134 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 8: to house all these folks, right? And so part of 135 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 8: what we're doing is we're preparing executive orders and we're 136 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 8: organizing our folks to put pressures on elected officials so 137 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 8: they don't roll over. They should sever these relationships they 138 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 8: have with the federal government on immigration enforcement. They should 139 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 8: make sure that our prisons, our and our jails are 140 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 8: off limits. They should begin to think about what actions 141 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 8: they could take to pardon immigrants who have a criminal 142 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 8: record because they drove it a suspended license. Well, let's 143 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 8: take them out of harm's way. 144 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 7: They could do that. Now, this commute, they could do that. 145 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 8: Nowpnsition, yes, And so part of what got do is 146 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 8: we've got to swarm our allies in some of these places. 147 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 8: And even in red states, you have some blue, you 148 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 8: have some blue mayors, and so there's a whole game 149 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 8: plan for this. And I think part of what we're 150 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 8: trying to do is breaking it down what can be 151 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 8: done by the courts and lawyers, what can be done 152 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 8: by citizens, what can governors do, what can mayors do? 153 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 8: And really have a game plan for that. 154 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 7: When people look at the fact that there having been 155 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 7: large scale protests thus far, the way there were pretty 156 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 7: soon after the election in twenty sixteen, I tend to 157 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 7: look at that and think the American people are smart. 158 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 7: People are marshaling their resources, the choosing for the right moment. 159 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 7: Do you see it the same way? 160 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 8: Do you see it, Okay, when he starts deporting all 161 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 8: these folks, ripping apart communities, the idea that you're never 162 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 8: going to be moved that many people through the immigration 163 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 8: system without ripping apart citizens and immigrants. It's going to 164 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 8: rip the basic fiber of our lives. And that's when 165 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 8: people are going to say response, Oh, that's not what 166 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,239 Speaker 8: we bargain for. We got to turn out. 167 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: This is the primal scream of the dying Gie. Pray 168 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people. 169 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: You've not got a free shot. All these networks lying 170 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: about the people. The people have had a belly full 171 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I 172 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: know you tried to do everything in the world to 173 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's 174 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: going to happen. And where do people like that go 175 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: to share the big line? Mega media? 176 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 4: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of 177 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 4: these people had a conscience. 178 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? 179 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 3: If that answer is to save my country, this country. 180 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: Will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen k. Ban. 181 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: It's Tuesday, seventeenth December and the Earth for Lord twenty 182 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: twenty four. Back when I was a kid, my dad, 183 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 1: and this was a big laugh for him. You know, 184 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: he was a phone company guy. And they would talk 185 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: about internally they were trying to do what they're trying 186 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: to accomplish, and he would talk. They would quote the 187 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: Pogo remember Pogo, old cartoon. I think from the fifties 188 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: and sixties. I've met the enemy and he is us. 189 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: That should be the mantra for the Maga movement and 190 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: the I shouldn't say he is us, but it's the 191 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: the Maga wing of the Republican Party, which is total 192 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: votes is I don't know, seventy five to eighty five percent. 193 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: Think if you look at President Trump's a good count 194 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: of that would be towards the end of the primary 195 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: season when it was Nicky Nicky, Nicky, Nicki, Nicki, when 196 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: bird Brain held out and I think she was getting 197 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty percent of the vote. Then eventually all 198 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: those people came home. Remember all these Republicans working to 199 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: do it, and they still have the never Trumpers. That's 200 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: the kind of you know, Rich Lowry, you know National 201 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: Review bow ties and chamber music cocktails on the Upper 202 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: East Side, the equivalent of the New York Conservative Party. 203 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of William F. Buckley types, and 204 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: I was a big fan of Buckley, but that was 205 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: back then, not now. If you see what's happening, and 206 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna have two examples of this day is the 207 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: one is the is the nomination process where President Trump 208 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: has actually thought through. You can see he's thought through 209 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: over a long period of time his victory, which was 210 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: quite different than sixteen because sixteen we were just scrambling 211 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: every day to get to a win. You could tell 212 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: in the four years that he was kind of the 213 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 1: lion in winter, having had the election stolen from him, 214 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 1: having made a conscious decision to come back and do this, 215 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: understanding what the stakes were for him personally and for 216 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: the country. He really started to think through what exactly 217 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: we're trying to accomplish it, how's this going to be 218 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: different than the first term, and how are we really 219 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: going to make America great again? You know, I hated 220 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: and I was quite vocal about this, the slogan or 221 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 1: whatever the catchphrase in twenty members make America great again again. No, 222 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: we were not quite there yet. It's going to take 223 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,959 Speaker 1: a long time to make America to return it to 224 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: a former great and it's going to probably take decades, 225 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: but you have to start with a foundation that is 226 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: a total reversal. This is what you have to hit 227 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: it with, which Robert Bartley used to say muzzle velocity. 228 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: When you have an idea, a concept to construct, just 229 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: sitting there talking about it, even sitting there making a 230 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: decision about it, doesn't make it happen, doesn't make it 231 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: a thing, doesn't make it a presence, doesn't make it 232 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: flow through the system. Think about populist nationalism. When we 233 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: first started on this journey back after the two thousand 234 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: and eight campaign, I mean I was mocked and ridiculed 235 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: in the first year after I took over Breitbart, after 236 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: Andrew died, I was vilified by the limited government conservatives, 237 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: right because you know they know better. These are the 238 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: folks that didn't lift a finger to actually limit the 239 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: size and scale the government. It kept getting bigger. Why 240 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: they're controlled opposition controlled opposition had kind of an authoritarian system. 241 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: It's just a long it's just performative. Is there to 242 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 1: make you feel happy right as the control function does 243 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: what it's going to do. We didn't get in this shape, folks. 244 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: The country didn't get in this shape unless both parties 245 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: were part of it. And this is why I say 246 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: Republican Democrats are irrelevant. It's a it's a it's a 247 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: nomenclature or a name that doesn't It's the two sides 248 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: of the same coin. Neoliberal neo cons that's the Washington consensus, 249 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: that's the Wall Street consensus that runs the United States 250 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: of America, the American Empire. And this is the jam 251 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: or in because during the Biden regime, the Empire started 252 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: to get even the the the the true neo Marxist, 253 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: neo Marxist element of its social society. On the society side, 254 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: the cultural side started to come forward, not just the 255 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: transgender radicalness, but all of it and what they're trying 256 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: to do in the propaganda department, in the education of 257 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: your of your of your schools. Thank god, the young 258 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 1: men in this country, being red blooded American boys, stood 259 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 1: up and rejected that, and on their shoulders, President Trump 260 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: rode to the road to the president his third victory 261 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 1: for his second term, a second term that may lead 262 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: to a third term. Who knows, that's on the future. 263 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: Maybe that's a work in progress. I don't care if 264 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: the left smelting down, and that I don't care if 265 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: the New Republic is we do have a pretty a 266 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: track record. I think of throwing an idea out there 267 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: and then over time working that idea, working the problem, 268 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: as we call it, got to work the problem. Now, 269 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: where's all this going? The two things happening? Folks on 270 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 1: the nominations they're trying to You heard it right there. Oh, 271 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: there's so many more qualified people. Yeah, Trump, these are 272 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: all trial balloons. Pete Heggs's a trial balloon. Cash Betel's 273 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: of trial balloon, Tulsea Gabbert, Bobby Kennedy. I would beg 274 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: to differ. President Trump has thought something through. He took 275 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: a bullet to the head and four months later won 276 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: in a landslide. I think he gets the team that 277 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: he selected, and we're here to put our shoulder to 278 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: the wheel to make sure he gets it. But alas 279 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill, Polly Pockets Johnson, the team are about 280 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: to surprise you with a fifteen hundred page c r all. 281 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: Next another examp. 282 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 11: The day after the day after Donald Trump had that 283 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 11: crazy rally a Madison Square garden. Oh wow, Yeah, I 284 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 11: rolled the dice and I called him on the phone. 285 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: Any answered what he said, and. 286 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 11: I wasn't calling to chit chat. I said, mister President, 287 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 11: this is Stephanie Rule. You made a lot of comments 288 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 11: last night, blah blah blah blah, and it was. It 289 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 11: was not an on the record conversation. 290 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: Long story, so. 291 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 11: I'm not going to get into what he said. But 292 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 11: I called for one reason. I said, you just said 293 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 11: a whole bunch of public things. I'd like to sit 294 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 11: down for an interview with you. We got five days 295 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 11: before the election, so we didn't get in anything. There's 296 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 11: nothing for me to report. I called him and said, 297 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 11: I want an interview with you. Obviously he said no. 298 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 11: But my point is I was able to get to 299 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 11: him by dialing his phone. Now that might be completely 300 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 11: API and you're like, I can't believe people know this 301 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 11: guy phone number. But the reverse of that, if I 302 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 11: were to want to connect with VP Harris or President Biden, 303 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 11: there's fifty people between me and that. 304 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: I could write a. 305 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 11: Note that maybe could get to somebody to get somebody. 306 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 11: Then through pony Express and a pigeon, something might end 307 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 11: up in a mail box near them. 308 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: And I called. 309 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 11: DJT to say, YO, can I have an interview myself? 310 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: But I still be able to connect with them. Yeah, 311 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 1: but he's still picked up. That's Stephanie Rule from our 312 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: one of our favorite shows, The Eleventh Hour at the 313 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: Over at MSNBC every night. I think it's a fantastic show. 314 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: That is so true. People have a phone number and 315 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: they call him off. Think about the day after the rally, 316 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: was the run up to the election. That was the week. 317 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: You know, later that night I'd be released from Danbury. 318 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: I mean, that was the heart of it. Was going 319 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: to hit that you had to turn out. I don't know, 320 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: fifty million people and one masszation. So President Trump's got 321 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: a couple of three things on his mind. She calls 322 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: him up. I'll take a shot, and Stephanie Rules not 323 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: on his speed dial list. She she's a she's a 324 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: known hater. But he takes a call and she what 325 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: I liked about she pitched the idea, Hey, it was 326 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: a great rally. Have an interview, and President Trump tells 327 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: the go f off, which is great.

Remember Target Tarje 341 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: would just rather run you out of the store. It's 342 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: unnot acceptable. The American people rejected, but now they got 343 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: pay the price just because because they're all going to 344 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: go down there and greeze everybody up. Think how outraged 345 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: Zuckerberg spent four hundred and fifty million dollars ninety percent 346 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: of it went against us in twenty twenty because he 347 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 1: had to put ten percent aside because they sit there 348 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 1: and told the just by well we kind of spurred around. No, dude, 349 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: you targeted Trump, and you targeted Trump voters, and now 350 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,719 Speaker 1: you go down with a million dollar check for the inauguration. 351 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: This is why in twenty sixteen, I did go to 352 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: any of the inauguration events. None. I went to the speech, 353 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: no black speech, no know nothing, zero. Not interested. Why 354 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: am I not interested? I don't want to hang out 355 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 1: with those people. That's who ends up being these inaugural balls. 356 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: It's all these guys writing checks and then greasing you up, 357 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: and all they want is to get a meeting. And 358 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 1: there is just all. It's all, it's all, it's it's greasy, 359 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: and they're greasy. One thing I did was go to 360 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: the White House. We set up shop immediately. But then 361 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: you know, right after the speech and then President Trump. 362 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 1: The parade was amazing and President Trump stood down there 363 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: on that podium for the entire time watched the parade, 364 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: which is extraordinary. It's always my favorite part of the 365 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: inauguration on Capitol Hill. We're about to get it. And 366 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: I think, and I've been saying this, don't want to 367 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: say I'm right again. I know it gets obnoxious. Johnson, 368 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: there's a fiasco. Okay, So what's going to happen in 369 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: the next forty eight hours? Another called shot for the 370 00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: war room. He's put up something because he's weak. The 371 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: short term CR. Remember the government runs out of money 372 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: on Friday. Now, why do they do that? They do 373 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: that because right before Christmas, every onces to go home. 374 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: So it's the pressure to get everything done. Now, we 375 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: have two alternatives. The one alternatives those some big you know, 376 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: omnibus or CR that takes it for the whole year 377 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: and takes out of President Trump's hands, particularly specifically takes 378 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: that out of russ votes hands the guys at over 379 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: O and B, and takes out of a VEC and 380 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: in Elon Musk. Because of all this complexity of what's 381 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: going to go on on the deconstruction administrative state, we 382 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: are going to be your sherpa that actually cuts through 383 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: the fog of war and shows you the signal, not 384 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: the noise, not the happy talk, not a bunch of 385 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 1: congressmen going up for open mic night over there last week, 386 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 1: when sitting there, going Yeah, at Iowa State, they have 387 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: a research program on you know, two headed cows that 388 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: ought to be cut. It's not about that, It's not 389 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: I think these little research programs are not about people. 390 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: All these memes everybody's walking in. It's gonna be like 391 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: the Apprentice, You're a fire. It's not the point. We 392 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: got a We got a not just simply a problem. 393 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 1: We have a crisis. Don't think we have a crisis. UH, France, 394 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: South Korea, Germany, Canada. I'm just naming the big four 395 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: of all turfed out their governments here in the last 396 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: I don't know to day's twelve days. Canada's on the brink. 397 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 1: Every in the finance side quit well they quit. It 398 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: was President far of his President Trump's tariffs in the UH. 399 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: And what I'm really proud of is that in the 400 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: finance minister and President Trump's no fan. He just lit 401 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 1: her up, on on on, on true social this morning, 402 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: lit her up because he's not a fan. Although I 403 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: would tell the President she was just the reason. She 404 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,439 Speaker 1: was kind of obnoxious sometimes she was just fighting for 405 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: the Canadians. Very tough to get to an agreement with her. 406 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,679 Speaker 1: But she quit yesterday. And why did she sent a letter? 407 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,120 Speaker 1: She sent a letter when she resigned, and she said 408 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: to Trudeau, you are not taking seriously enough. And I 409 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: quote the aggressive economic nationalism of President Trump, the aggressive 410 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: economic nationalism. Poetry, pure poetry, aggressive economic nationalism. And she's saying, hey, 411 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: I don't know if twenty five percent turfs are right 412 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: or not. But I'm telling you he's coming hard with 413 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: something and he means it. He's not bluffing. And he said, 414 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 1: your budget has wait for it does not keep our 415 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: powder dry. It has too big a deficit. I think 416 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: I'm hearing something consistent throughout the world. Why did the 417 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: French government fall the exact same reason? Does that keep saying? 418 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: The world has I don't know, three hundred trellion dollars 419 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: in debt everywhere, at every level, from your credit card 420 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: to the student loans, your car loans. Every country in 421 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: the world added up every county government, every municipality, every 422 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: every warter project, every state government, the federal our federal government, 423 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: and every other government in the world, roughly three hundred 424 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: trillion dollars. And I keep warning we're going to have 425 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: a margin call, global margin call. And when that happens, 426 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: you're going to be in the whirlwind like he was 427 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: gonna make.

Here's what he's saying, 503 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: And this is what happens when you have these people 504 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: are not leaders. He's sitting there going hang on, hang on, 505 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: hang on, don't get all over me. I get important 506 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: meetings with David Sachs and Vivid Ramaswami. Day, dude, that's 507 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: fine to come by for a courtesy call, but quite frankly, 508 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: you're not relevant to what they're doing. Here's what you 509 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: gotta be relevant in we want a skinny c R. 510 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: When I say skinny, like two pages. That just kicks 511 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: it to January to March, you know, March twenty. That 512 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: gives President Trump January February, Fred Marks gives him sixty days. 513 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: That gives russ Vote and guys sixty days to actually 514 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: get this together and get the appropriations bills done, all 515 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,239 Speaker 1: of them. They're kind of teed up. Get them all 516 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: through the House, all through the Senate. It's a process. 517 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: This is just supposed to be a tea up to 518 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: a process. What did you do? What did you do? 519 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: What did you do? And didn't breed anybody in on this? 520 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: Because I asked them all is anybody read in? No, 521 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: it's totally secrets behind closed door. It's all McCarthyism again 522 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: behind closed doors, behind closed doors. And I tell people 523 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: when they're behind closed doors, there's some bad stuff coming. 524 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: And we got plenty of it. Okay, audience, because once again, 525 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: get ready with the machelle you get. We're gonna have 526 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: to cut our way. You're gonna have to cut the 527 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: path through this. It's just going to have to happen, 528 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: just like you had President Trump's back from January twenty 529 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: twenty one or even before then. But I saying when 530 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: it got down to it when they stole the presidency 531 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: from him and went to marw Lago. You were the 532 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: most not just loyal, You were the smartest and toughest, 533 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 1: and you learn more and you did precinc strategy, You 534 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: did voter anything that was asked, you did. And guess 535 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 1: what you were the vanguard and the cadre and the 536 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: vanguard for the greatest comeback in world political history, not 537 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: just American political history. Okay, we're gonna have to do 538 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: it again. Here's why. So let's take let's just do 539 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: a simple exercise. Four hundred days from today is roughly 540 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: the first anniversary the end of year one of President 541 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: Trump's second term, the end of year one, and I 542 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: think we're all in agreement that we probably have to 543 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: get a lot of what he wants to accomplish. Then 544 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: with the midterms coming up in the second year, just 545 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: do the math and if you don't believe me, go 546 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 1: to the National Debt Clock site. Is that one hundred 547 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: percent accurate? No it's not. Is it pretty damn close? 548 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: Yes it is. And we're talking about scale and numbers 549 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,280 Speaker 1: that if you're directionally there, it's good. They're better in 550 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: the direction. Plus they give you a couple of other alternatives. 551 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: They'll do a couple of other cbo other guys. But 552 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: the number of four hundred days from now, folks is 553 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 1: forty trillion dollars. We say, Steven, that's impossible. You know, 554 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 1: we're only I don't know thirty six and a half 555 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: training today, of which when President President Trump turned over 556 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: the watch, I think we were twenty three trading, and 557 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: all of President Trump's essentially was added for the pandemic. Yeah, 558 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: we did not bounce a budget, but we became pretty close. 559 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: I think it was five hundred billion the first year. 560 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 1: I'll go back and check the math. But and I 561 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: was a big advocate, let's just close this deal. Let's 562 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: close this thing up. We just got to make some cuts, 563 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: like in defense. But Trump was very close and except 564 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: for the pandemic. But now it's a runaway train. And 565 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: so oh, you know, nobody cares about deficit, Steve. Nobody 566 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,719 Speaker 1: cares about debt you talk about nobody cares about I 567 00:31:54,760 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: beg to differ. They care about it because it's seeped 568 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: into every aspect of your life. Remember, your life is 569 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: run by the ten year treasury. That's what everything's priced 570 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 1: off of. But it's seeped in. As we refinance this, 571 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: this inflation has seeped in. This is what President Trump 572 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: said the other day. It's not so easy to get out. 573 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: And we're warning Pow if you don't want to get 574 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: on a collision course with the President in the White 575 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: House and the posse, don't cut race today. The last 576 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: thing we need is a rate cut. If you do that, 577 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: it's just Biden. You're just doing it, and you're doing 578 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: it spiteful because you know you're going to quit or 579 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: be fired, so you're just doing it to try to 580 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: try to get more embed inflation in there. Even more. 581 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: The forty trillion is got to be the third of 582 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: that's got to be refinanced. And not just that, it's 583 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: the pattern recognition of the velocity, and particularly we're picking 584 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: up velocity. It's still essentially a trillion dollars every hundred days. 585 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: In fact, if you do the math between where we 586 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: are now the forty three and guess what, wait for it, 587 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: it's about a treeon dollars every hundred days. That's not sustainable. 588 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: It's not sustainable. At some time the world that has 589 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: to take dollars starts to puw them back up. My 590 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: big fear now is you're seeing the collapse. You're seeing 591 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: the collapse of the international monetary system. Potentially, you're seeing 592 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: the collapse of that, and with that is going to 593 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: come something that's going to be not good and fevers abandoned. 594 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: All you guys do is cry and whine and bitch 595 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 1: and moan about the post war international rules based orders. 596 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: That No, that order that might have worked at the 597 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: time when you in the nineteen nineties, the Bush regime 598 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: allows the Chinese Communist Party to come with slave labor, 599 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: with slave labor, and then Wall Street, because it's to 600 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: their advantage, ships all the high paying value, high value 601 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,640 Speaker 1: added manufacturing jobs to China for the slave labor of 602 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: the Laobaijing. No, that's in the post war internationals based order, 603 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: the system starts to get gamed. They gained the system, 604 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 1: they gained the system. They gained the system to leverage 605 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,600 Speaker 1: off the slave labor of the Chinese people and to 606 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: ship all the high value added manufacturing jobs up there 607 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,160 Speaker 1: and gout the United States of America and leave you 608 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 1: as a serf, a Russian serf. This is why kids 609 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,160 Speaker 1: under thirty five years old don't own anything. Are not 610 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:44,799 Speaker 1: going to own anything. Why they don't have enough high 611 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: value added jobs. Like in the old days. You start 612 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 1: as an artists and you start as an apprentice. You start, 613 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: you know, my dad started pulling a cable in a 614 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,719 Speaker 1: sewer for the phone company before he came alignment. But hey, 615 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: you work your way up. You've limited immigration, you have 616 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: control of your money, so the so your dollar actually 617 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: means something. You don't have runaway inflation. You don't have 618 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,320 Speaker 1: the drop, massive drop and purchasing power of the dollar. 619 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 1: That's how you have a robust working class, a robust 620 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: middle class. The people kind of go up, they they 621 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: they it's escalation, not nuclear not going up to the 622 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 1: escalatory ladder of nukes. You're going up to escalatory ladder 623 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: of economic life, which we used to have in this country. 624 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 1: But you don't have it. And why don't you have it. 625 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,280 Speaker 1: You have a decaying middle class. You have a under 626 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: the gun, anxiety ridden, pressure ridden working class. They can't 627 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 1: even go to work on a subway safely. Don't have 628 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: an education system the kids can go to that's not 629 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: not destroyed, or a healthcare system they don't go to 630 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: that's not destroyed. That's why you go into all the 631 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: great hospitals. You know, Beth Israel, go to all the 632 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: great hospitals in the New York City area that used 633 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 1: to be private hospitals, all turned over the state because 634 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,479 Speaker 1: it can't afford to be private anymore. You go in there, 635 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: it looks like it looks like a war zone in 636 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: the emergency room wide nobody has the insurance of this. 637 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: Go to the emergency room for everything, and you have 638 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: all the crime and everything, all the disease, all the crime, 639 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 1: it's all. It's all there. They're not living like Americans, 640 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 1: and that is not acceptable. And one of the reasons 641 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 1: is is you have on Capitol Hill like a dog 642 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: and pony show. It's all performative. Johnson comes out there 643 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,040 Speaker 1: and he gives you a deep voice, and you know, 644 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: we'll go, you know, blah blah blah blah blah. On Fox, 645 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: they just roll him around, ask a bunch of softball 646 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: questions because the lobby is this a lobby's thing. You know, 647 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:48,279 Speaker 1: you got from you got from MTG and chip Roy 648 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,439 Speaker 1: to Lawler. Lawler is not a fan of the war room. 649 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 1: Lawler is not a fan of Maga. And you got 650 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,680 Speaker 1: those two and everybody in between Burleson and the whole crowd. 651 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: This is not member driven. We didn't know anything about this. 652 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 1: This thing looks like a Christmas tree. Why do you 653 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 1: have a provision in there that Haiti's got like most 654 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: Favored Nation status or some tax free zone for Haitian 655 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: T shirts, which may or may not be a good thing. 656 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,720 Speaker 1: I have no idea. It doesn't sound great, but who knows. 657 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:20,840 Speaker 1: But that's not what it should be in a cr 658 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 1: because they're going back President Trump's best one of his 659 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,720 Speaker 1: best sayings, no games. I don't wan any games be straight. 660 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 1: We got a game going on Capitol Hill. You think 661 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 1: it's bad now? For President Trump to take these ideas 662 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 1: and turn them into actual reality is going to take 663 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: more in executive orders. And I want to go back 664 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 1: to one of my favorite scenes. I may play it later, 665 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 1: maybe at six o'clock from the movie Lincoln, because this 666 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,799 Speaker 1: is a lesson for us today. President Lincoln sitting there 667 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: and they're all over him of why do you need 668 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,320 Speaker 1: all these amendments to the Constitution. This is not easy. 669 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 1: We got to do a heavy lift and you got 670 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,399 Speaker 1: to get approved. Why do you need this? And he 671 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,839 Speaker 1: gets up in their grill and says the Emancipation Proclamation, 672 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: which changed the direction of the war because up until Antietam, 673 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: up until Sharsbourg of the Fall of eighteen sixty two, 674 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:27,720 Speaker 1: the war was about keeping the Union. After that because 675 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:32,839 Speaker 1: Lincoln wasn't winning, the North was not winning, and many 676 00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: of the generals in the North were Democrats, and it 677 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 1: was all this talk of treason. Who's really you know, 678 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,760 Speaker 1: how can we be that bad? How can these guys 679 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,879 Speaker 1: go to West Point and this be incompetent? How could 680 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,799 Speaker 1: Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson and Jeb Stewart. How 681 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 1: these guys who all went to West Point, how could 682 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,320 Speaker 1: they be running the tables and our guys, what's happened 683 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: is the treason? Are they not fighting as it? Just 684 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: they want to negotiate settlement, which was had some truth 685 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 1: to it. Let the South go in piece. He says, Hey, 686 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,839 Speaker 1: I got to fix for that. I'm gonna put out 687 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,720 Speaker 1: a proclamation that frees the slaves or because, as lawyer 688 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: at the Attorney General said, is an executive order and 689 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 1: you can only do it as a wartime necessity. You 690 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 1: can only free him in the states currently under rebellion. 691 00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,399 Speaker 1: You came and free them in the places we could 692 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 1: actually control. And Lincoln said, in an executive order goes away. 693 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,280 Speaker 1: When when my administration is over, the executive order goes away, 694 00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 1: it goes away. And that means, what are we going 695 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: to tell the world that they're enslaved again after we 696 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 1: lost six hundred thousand people and destroyed half the country, 697 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 1: that the slaves and slaves again. How is that going 698 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 1: to play? So he said, we're out upon the world stage. 699 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 1: That's exactly where we are with President Trump. It's not 700 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 1: shettles slavery, but it's economic bondage of the working class 701 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,520 Speaker 1: in this country and quite frankly now the middle class. 702 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 1: So how do you start to do that? Yes, President Trump, 703 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 1: we can do executive orders like we did back in 704 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: the first term, right, And you can do executive orders 705 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 1: on the border, and you can do executive orders here 706 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,799 Speaker 1: and here. But if you want to take this on, 707 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: and if you want to make it permanent, if you 708 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 1: want to actually do it, you have to do things 709 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: called pass laws. And to do that, you have to 710 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 1: have the House, and you have to have the Senate, 711 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:24,879 Speaker 1: and you have to man up. You have to do it. 712 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,720 Speaker 1: And part of those laws is the appropriation process. Remember 713 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: the appropriation's process. When you've spread the money around, when 714 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 1: you deal it out, it's a law. It's not some 715 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 1: sort of just random Oh, we're going to spend this, there, this, 716 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:42,920 Speaker 1: and no. It's a law, just like the border, just 717 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 1: like reorganizing the government. Shortbreak Birch Golbirch gold dot com, 718 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: end of the dollar Empire, modern monetary theory, the idea 719 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 1: that broke the World's our new release. Next use your host, 720 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: Stephen So Melanie Zanona, I think she's over at Politico now. 721 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:16,439 Speaker 1: She was a CNN. She's reporting Johnson tried to sell 722 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: his members on a CR plan this morning. It did 723 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,879 Speaker 1: not go over well. The griping stretched the game from 724 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus to committee chairs and even moderates. It's very 725 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,359 Speaker 1: this according to her, it's very clear Democrats are going 726 00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:36,600 Speaker 1: to need a heavy lift to carry this bill. This 727 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 1: is where you are this if we're this on the 728 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:47,720 Speaker 1: CR and he's hid it from his members, to drop 729 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,760 Speaker 1: it on them and put the gunder the head because 730 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:54,320 Speaker 1: the funding runs out on Friday. Essentially, he screwed to caucus. 731 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,800 Speaker 1: This is the easy one. This is as close to 732 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 1: a layup as you can get. You just had to 733 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,920 Speaker 1: have something skinny kick it into which, as you know, 734 00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,800 Speaker 1: we're not fans of short term series, we hate them. However, 735 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,880 Speaker 1: if the purpose is to get it to after January twentieth, 736 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:17,520 Speaker 1: so that russ Vote and Scott Bessant and Hassard and 737 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:20,520 Speaker 1: Navarro and the economic team around a guy named Donald 738 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 1: John Trump can get their hands on it and do 739 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,280 Speaker 1: what they want to do, even with a first pass 740 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:33,839 Speaker 1: with the VEC and Elon and their team, not a 741 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: whole doge, but at least you a lick and a promise. 742 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,560 Speaker 1: I'm down. I got that. I think we can support that. 743 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,359 Speaker 1: I think we'll go there. But that's not what this is. 744 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,840 Speaker 1: And to hide it this is easy. Think of the 745 00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 1: conversations we're head and I know we're getting technical, but 746 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,360 Speaker 1: we need to get technical because I need you to 747 00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 1: be inside, to have inside baseball. So all this crap 748 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:57,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna see on Fox, you're not going to believe. 749 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,879 Speaker 1: They're going to try to jam everything in one reconciliation bill. 750 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,160 Speaker 1: Reconciliations kind of gimmick. They have to get it through 751 00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,360 Speaker 1: so you don't. You can get past the Senate filibuster. 752 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: We need to because Trump needs to hit it on 753 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 1: January twentieth with the border and actually with money that's 754 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,840 Speaker 1: written into kind of a law, which the Reconcilia Reconciliation 755 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,920 Speaker 1: Bill would be. So he's got it. He's going to 756 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,040 Speaker 1: do a bunch of executive orders. But on January twentieth, baby, 757 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:29,000 Speaker 1: we're rolling. Homan's rolling, Miller's rolling. We got legislation we're 758 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 1: going and the tax bill and everything you're going to 759 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,400 Speaker 1: do will come in March in April. Why do they 760 00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:36,239 Speaker 1: want to jam them together? Well, I'm just gonna let 761 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 1: me guess, let me think. Oh, that's right. They want 762 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 1: to hide all of the goodies for the lobbyists and 763 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 1: for the wealthy and for the billionaires, so they can 764 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 1: put a gun to the war room's head, folks and say, 765 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,719 Speaker 1: oh ba and all you and your people all you 766 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: want to deport fifteen million people. You want to build 767 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 1: a wall, you want to secure the border. You want 768 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:56,399 Speaker 1: to do this, you want to do that on the border. 769 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: But ba bang ba bong, Well how can you vote 770 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,479 Speaker 1: against this? Yes, sor it's got a few tax things 771 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,120 Speaker 1: in there for lobbyists, But hey, you want to secure 772 00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,520 Speaker 1: the border, you want to build the wall, you want 773 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: to deport fifteen million people, this is the price, this 774 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 1: is the admission ticket. We're not falling for that. So 775 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 1: if Johnson doesn't even have the stones to do the 776 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,759 Speaker 1: simple stuff, how do you think we're going to do. 777 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,960 Speaker 1: We're going to be in a firestorm. Come do you think. 778 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 1: Look they're all down kissing his ass down in mar 779 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:31,520 Speaker 1: Lago with their little checks.

We didn't hold the house. We held 801 00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:59,480 Speaker 1: Hakeem Jeffrey's house because we're going through the same madness again. 802 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,439 Speaker 1: And Johnson went to him early on.
