I'm ready for negotiations with him. | |
| a war criminal. And yet you have called for negotiations with him. Will it be hard? Will it be painful for you to have to sit down with Putin were he to agree and negotiate with him? | ||
| I'm ready for negotiations with him. I was ready over the last two years. | ||
| And I think that without negotiations we cannot end this war. | ||
| I think that all the people who think that this dialogue is shallow and that it is not going to resolve anything, they just don't understand that this is very valuable. | ||
| If there is just 1% chance for us to stop this war, I think that we need to take this chance. | ||
| We need to do that. | ||
| I can tell you about the result of this negotiations. | ||
| In any case, we are losing people on a daily basis. | ||
| Innocent people on the ground. | ||
| Russian forces have come to exterminate us, to kill us. | ||
| And we have demonstrated the dignity of our people and our army that we are able to deal a powerful blow. | ||
| We are able to strike back. | ||
| But unfortunately, our dignity is not going to preserve the lives. | ||
| So I think that we have to use any format, any chance in order to have a possibility of negotiating the possibility of talking to Putin. | ||
| But if these attempts fail, that would mean that this is a third world war. | ||
| Was a simple verb. | ||
| Merely a part of speech used in everyday life. | ||
| But it's not that simple for us. | ||
| Because now the everyday Ukrainians simply cannot say was without bursting into tears. | ||
| This was my home. | ||
| This was my friend. | ||
| This was my dog. | ||
| This was my car. | ||
| This was my job. | ||
| And this was my father. | ||
| And this was my daughter. | ||
| The millions and millions of fresh wounds are bleeding. | ||
| Russia has drowned Ukraine in tears and blood and children corpses. | ||
| But there is one thing Russia doesn't get. | ||
| Wars is the word that describes its life. | ||
| And we Ukrainians already know what will come next. | ||
| We will win. | ||
| And there will be new houses. | ||
| There will be new cities. | ||
| There will be new dreams. | ||
| There will be a new story. | ||
| There will be, there's no doubt. | ||
| And those we've lost will be remembered. | ||
| And we will sing again. | ||
| And we will celebrate anew. | ||
| Yes, Ukraine was beautiful. | ||
| But now it will become great, great Ukraine. | ||
| Russian tank and unpersonal carrier left forever in Ukraine. | ||
| But Ukrainians do a miracle. | ||
| Ukrainian people demonstrate the miracle of unique and Ukrainian surprise the world and we fight here not only for our soil, but for the West and my request. | ||
| Please help us to save you. | ||
| This is very simple, and it is impossible to discuss days and weeks how to supply weapons in Ukraine. | ||
| Soldier need weapon now, this hour, not in one hour. | ||
| And with this, I'm just return back from Kiev region. | ||
| We tried to keep Putin and Russian troops 25-30 kilometers from Kiev for not reaching Kiev civilian object by artillery. | ||
| And this is the five major step This is the road to peace. | ||
| And step number one is definitely to introduce a new plant as a plant for supply to Ukraine from nutrition to ammunition. | ||
| And this is the Land Lease Act, but the version of 2022. | ||
| Point number two, this is to close the sky. | ||
| Not by NATO missiles. | ||
| We have a best pilot and best operator, but please give us everything from the kamikaze drone and finishing with the anti-aircraft missile. | ||
| Because we cannot give the airspace above the nuclear power station, above civilian objects, to the Russian planes who are bombing the whole Ukrainian territory. | ||
| Point number three, this is the situation for the Supply for us second West Front. | ||
| And second West Front means everything but soldiers. | ||
| We need more sanctions. | ||
| We need an embargo for the whole Russian trade because please stop financing Russia for killing Ukrainians. | ||
| This is impossible. | ||
| We need embargo on oil and gas of Russia. | ||
| This is definitely need to be introduced now. | ||
| Stop financing Putin. | ||
| Stop financing Killa. | ||
| And point number four, this is the new analogue of Marshall Plan. | ||
| Let it be Biden Plan to demonstrate his leadership. | ||
| And it is extremely actual now because on the 24th of February, of March this week, We will have a G7 summit, we will have a European Union summit, and we will have a NATO summit. | ||
| And let it be Biden, Michelle and Johnson. | ||
| And the finishing is a European Union membership perspective. | ||
| Candidate status for Ukraine. | ||
| This is Ukraine really have. | ||
| Okay, welcome to the War Room. | ||
| It's Monday, 21 March, Year of Our Lord 2022. | ||
| Fareed Zakhara. | ||
| Note to Fareed, when you interviewed me in Rome, you didn't do coach pitch, right? | ||
| It's time somebody actually, if they have an interview with Zelensky, ought to ask him some real questions and not just tee up for him just to go off right there. | ||
| He's saying, hey, if we don't do this immediately, if we don't escalate the war immediately, With arms and support and economic warfare, it's going to be World War 3. | ||
| That's Zelensky, that's not me saying it, that's Zelensky, what Zelensky says. | ||
| Then you have the ex-president with his four-point plan, lend, lease more weapons, close the air with the MiGs and the... | ||
| Anti the surface-to-air missiles then some open a Western front was called a Western front not just supply everything but troops But he's calling for more economic warfare against the Russian people and of course last but not least a Marshall Plan For rebuilding Ukraine and supporting the rebuilding of Ukraine so that and these are now demands and You've got to ask, how did the EU and NATO get these poor people into this? | ||
| What did they tell them? | ||
| What did they promise them? | ||
| What did they tell them was going to happen? | ||
| Because now they're coming back with these demands over and over and over again. | ||
| And NATO is just sitting there. | ||
| The Biden administration is just sitting there. | ||
| The cheerleaders on Fox News are wearing the pom-poms. | ||
| They've cut these people loose to their fate and destiny, and what they're doing is sending them some small arms so that some civilians can act as a guerrilla force. | ||
| Of course, Axios tells us the other day that there was a letter and that letter was resistance and funding resistance, but nobody in the White House could find it. | ||
| Now they've corrected themselves and say maybe we didn't have it. | ||
| This whole thing's a mess, but it's escalated. | ||
| How about this? | ||
| Why don't we get some level-headed people running and try to de-escalate this? | ||
| So there's less killing. | ||
| So Maripol doesn't have to look like Dresden in World War II. | ||
| I think it's time for de-escalation. | ||
| In the 11 o'clock hour, we're going to go through all of this, but we've got too much breaking news. | ||
| Today, in the United States, about everything across the board from the hearing that's going to happen with Judge Brown Jackson to developments in Florida. | ||
| We've got a couple of Senate candidates on here with breaking news from them. | ||
| I want to go to Anthony Sabatini. | ||
| Serious breaking news. | ||
| After you were on our show, the 6 o'clock show, the new political show, on Friday, You talked about an emergency session, a special session of the Florida Legislature to get this redistricting map right, which is everything. | ||
| Anthony Sabatini running for Congress. | ||
| He's in the House in Florida. | ||
| He's running for Congress in the 7th. | ||
| He's already chased Stephanie Murphy out of the race, which is huge in and of itself. | ||
| I know you're too humble and too self-effacing to take credit for it, but I'll give you credit for it, because she's a rising superstar. | ||
| She wanted no part of Sabatini. | ||
| Anthony, what's going on? | ||
| Ron DeSantis, he hunkers down. | ||
| He's like a honey badger. | ||
| He knows how to hunker down. | ||
| What's Ron DeSantis, the governor, doing about this fiasco in Tallahassee, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, two huge pieces of breaking news from Friday. | |
| Friday night, Governor DeSantis was speaking at the Lincoln-Reagan annual dinner at Mar-a-Lago, and that was the first time he announced that he's going to be calling the special session next week for us to come back and pass a map, which would yield four new Republican seats. | ||
| The second big piece of news is that the State Senate, one of the two bodies of the state legislature, announced that they're ready to get involved. | ||
| They've sort of gone against the governor up until this point, but they're ready and open to negotiations. | ||
| But now it's really going to come down to the state house. | ||
| I mean, obviously, first, we're going to wait for his announcement that will come out, hopefully in the next couple of days, which means that session itself would probably be next week or two weeks from now. | ||
| But the pressure is going to have to come down to the state house because the state house is looking at this in a moral way. You know, just like Governor Sununu up in New Hampshire, they're saying, well, no, you know, we got to give the left, the Democrats at the table. | ||
| And it just seems unfair if we're pushing for any kind of map that ends up having a Republican advantage. And so that's sort of the position we're in now. | ||
| And all of this kind of broke right after I appeared on War Room on Friday. | ||
| Anthony, let me just ask you, so we get this clear again. | ||
| The state Senate's not going to, it's you fire breathers in the House that are going to do this, but what about the Speaker of the House? | ||
| And the Senate's not going to have Governor DeSantis is back on this. | ||
| They're going to even try to fight even having a special session or they don't want to call back in. | ||
| What's our state of play there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So it's actually the other way around. | |
| Funny enough, the state Senate, which is generally the more moderate body, is the one saying, of course, this is not fully public yet. | ||
| Uh, that they're open to the governor's map, that they're willing to push through the governor's map and brush aside the silly map the legislature put forth that gives the Democrats a huge advantage. | ||
| Seems to be that the state house is the one actually pushing back at this point in time. | ||
| All of this has kind of leaked in the last few days. | ||
| We're just now hearing about it. | ||
| We're going to find out a lot more this week. | ||
| The reason the state Senate's in that position is Governor DeSantis did something that was very unique he had never done. | ||
| Uh, really almost ever in his career. | ||
| He doesn't really do a lot of endorsements. | ||
| Once he found out that the legislature was putting forth such a bad map and they're unwilling to put forth his map, he went out and actually primaried and endorsed the opponent of one of the members of the legislature that was running for the state Senate early last week. | ||
| Which sort of set up a lot of red flags in the state senate. | ||
| And so now the state senate's a lot more open to giving the governor the map he's done. | ||
| And I'm hoping that he goes forth and does a lot more of these endorsements and primaries to put more pressure on the legislature this week to pass his map. | ||
| Anthony, what's the issue with leadership in the House? | ||
| What's the issue with the Speaker of the House? | ||
| They should be – if Governor DeSantis – and this is a fair map – and they should compare what's happening in New York, Maryland and Illinois and California. | ||
| And the two states – people need to understand the two states – California and New York State combined. | ||
| Right. | ||
| I think we've got a total of like eight, I think seven congressional districts in both states combined, three in New York, I think four or five in California. | ||
| The Democrats play smash mouth and we just say, hey, that's the way it is. | ||
| What's the problem with leadership? | ||
| We've got about a minute. | ||
| What's the problem, as you see it, with leadership in the House, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, quite frankly, I'll be very blunt. | |
| The Speaker of the House is very close friends with Jeb Bush. | ||
| He's an old school Republican. | ||
| He doesn't understand What's at stake right now? | ||
| And he's not a real fighter. | ||
| But he's looking at this and saying, you know, I'd rather not get in the direct firing lane of the media and the left and all this. | ||
| Let's just put forth some kind of map and just end this thing. | ||
| And he doesn't realize that's not an option at this point. | ||
| And so the governor is going to be getting very involved in what's going on. | ||
| The majority of the membership in the House is really good. | ||
| I think they just don't right now have the courage to stand up like some of us have to the leadership of the House. | ||
| And I think that's going to change this week. | ||
| Anthony, how do people follow you on social media and find out more about your campaign? | ||
| You're one of the best voices around right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So it's at Sabatini, Anthony Sabatini, at Getter, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Telegram, and everything else, Sabatini4Congress.com. | |
| Gotta follow him on social media because he's breaking news, but this is absolutely central, this redistricting, as we told you, and Governor DeSantis taking a very principled stand in the great state of Florida. | ||
| Anthony Sabatini, thank you for opening up the word for the week. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, Steve. | |
| Appreciate the focus on this issue. | ||
| Okay, brother. | ||
| We're going to take a short break. | ||
| We're back with another War Room regular, Josh Mandel. | ||
| We're going to ask, he's running for the Senate. | ||
| You might have heard about some of Josh Mandel's activities the last couple of days, but he's also a war fighter. | ||
| We're going to ask about his thoughts on the situation, the metastasizing situation in Ukraine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
All next in the War Room. | |
| you want to play. Bring it on and I will fight to the end, just watch and see. It's all started, everything's begun, and you are over. Cause we're taking down the CCP. For the world, all through Hong Kong. | ||
| I want to begin by recognizing someone who's a mentor of mine and someone who I think embodies statesmanship, Senator Portman. | ||
| You have a stock in Chinese Petro. | ||
| I personally didn't buy the stock. | ||
| You made millions off it, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't think I made millions off of anything. | |
| I'd love to have made millions off of Chinese Petro. | ||
| First of all... Shanghai Shenda and Chinese Petro. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Buying a second... You may not understand this because you've never been in the... I understand it fully. | |
| No, you don't. | ||
| I do. | ||
| You've never been in the private sector and you're... All right, gentlemen. | ||
| I've worked, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Squat. | |
| Two tours in Iraq. | ||
| Don't tell me I haven't worked. | ||
| Don't tell me I haven't worked. | ||
| You don't know squat. | ||
| You don't know squat. | ||
| Two tours in Iraq, don't tell me I haven't worked. | ||
| You back off. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Never. | |
| Watch. | ||
| Watch. | ||
| You watch what happens. | ||
| You watch what happens. | ||
| Watch. We'll square it away with the one with the wrong dude. | ||
| No, no, you're dealing with the wrong guy. You watch what happens. | ||
| You watch what happens. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Alright, guys. | |
| Okay, we told you that the Ohio Senate primary race was a dogfight. | ||
| You got four, you got Timpkin, J.D. | ||
| Vance, Josh Mandel and Gibbons all in this kind of, I would say metaphorically, a punch-out, but I almost came to a punch-out. | ||
| Okay, we got Josh Mandel who's one of the candidates and obviously someone that the War Room posse is very familiar with. | ||
| Josh, I want to take the first clip first because we just had Anthony Sabatini Who's a fire breather down in Florida, who's working with Governor DeSantis to sort out this redistricting fiasco that the swamp in Tallahassee originally had a map of 14 to 14. | ||
| And remember Josh, this is in the same environment where New York State is taking away five congressional districts from the Republicans. | ||
| I think it's 20, I think it's 23 to 3 there, right? | ||
| Or 26 to 3, some ridiculous number. | ||
| California, same way. | ||
| And so you've got, you've got I'm getting some feedback there. | ||
| Can we cut that stuff down? | ||
| Also, Josh, so we know they're saying, hey, it's Jeb Bush. | ||
| It's a Jeb Bush situation there with the Speaker of the House. | ||
| So the question is, Rob Portman and the great Jonathan Swan at Axios kind of highlight this when he tweeted out. | ||
| He's got a massive Twitter following. | ||
| You go around the state half the time trashing Portman as being a squish and representing the worst part of the Bush faction, and then you call him as your mentor. | ||
| So can you just clear that up for the audience, particularly since Portman came out and not only endorsed your opponent, but I think he's barnstorming with her. | ||
| So walk us through the Portman situation and the Bush influence into Ohio still, sir. | ||
| Sure, yeah. | ||
| So he endorsed Jane Timken, who's one of my opponents. | ||
| Jane is running the total establishment campaign. | ||
| I'd say most of the political establishment in Washington, most of the political establishment in Ohio is behind Jane. | ||
| I've been anti-establishment my whole career. | ||
| I've been the worst nightmare of people like John Kasich. | ||
| And other squishy establishment Republicans. | ||
| Every time I turn around, I'm getting attacked online. | ||
| OK, but we see that. | ||
| That's what Swan's saying. | ||
| And that's what the Warren posse is saying. | ||
| When they speak, when you hear Josh Mandel's name, there's no, you're not, you know what you're getting, right? | ||
| You're on brand all the time. | ||
| We'll get to the to the fight in a second. | ||
| But why then say he's your mentor and praise him? | ||
| When he's, and you go around trashing him, and not just that, your candidacy is an anti-Portman candidacy, to the point that he came out and supported your opponent, and not just supported, he's barnstorming with her. | ||
| I mean, he's going around the state and they're doing events, sir. | ||
| He's a gentleman and a statesman, but obviously, like, my brand of smash-mouth politics, my brand of warring with the establishment, you know, is not something that he likes. | ||
| I think it's why he Endorse my opponent Jane Temkin and you know when I go to Washington Steve Wouldn't it be more on brand for you to brace up Portman like you did Gibbons? | ||
| Wouldn't that be more on brand? | ||
| Because over the weekend people go, hey we love Josh, we're confused. | ||
| Is Portman a mentor? | ||
| Does this mean when Josh gets to DC that he's a Portman guy? | ||
| Or is he the Josh Mandel that's gone around now for a year | ||
|
unidentified
|
Fire-breathing about the election and you know you're right on the mag of policies, but I think this kind of threw people I Mean when I get to Washington and people are asking what type of senator I'll be I'm going there to be reinforcements for fighters fighters like Jim Jordan Ted Cruz and Donald Trump Okay, let's go to the Gibbons thing one thing I think the box is checked Josh Mandel if you asked anybody even the people that hate you in Ohio the one box you got checked is Josh Mandel is fighter | |
| What what caused the and you're also because I've known you now for out of 10 years. | ||
| You're also a gentleman, right? | ||
| You're actually a very very good guy and a very good gentleman. | ||
| What was it? | ||
| Well, I wasn't making a display. | ||
| you had to stand up to a 70 year old guy and basically throw down right there if it hadn't been for the moderator and maybe JD Vance, you two guys would have gone at it. | ||
| And Gibbons is an old Irishman, so there would have been a couple of blows thrown. | ||
| But here's my point. | ||
| You're known as a fighter. | ||
| Even the people that don't like you say you're known as a fighter. | ||
| Why make a big display of it at that? | ||
| I wasn't making a display. | ||
| I was standing up for military men and women throughout our country. | ||
| Gibbons says that people who served in the Marine Corps like me or in the Army or the Navy or the Air Force didn't have a real job. | ||
| And it's complete bloney. | ||
| On top of that, when I was in Iraq, Mike Gibbons was shipping jobs to China and investing in China. | ||
| It gets worse, Steve. | ||
| When Donald Trump was running for president in 2015 and 2016, this is the exact same time that Mike Gibbons was investing in Sinopec. | ||
| Sinopec is also known as Chinese Petro. | ||
| This is the same company that Hunter Biden was integrally involved with. | ||
| It's state-owned. | ||
| CCP owns 75% of it. | ||
| They opened about 25% of it for American investors. | ||
| And Mike Gibbons jumped at that opportunity at the exact same time that President Trump was running on an America First anti-CCP agenda. | ||
| And then Gibbons, that wasn't enough for him. | ||
| He then took a company called Perfect Fit LLC, which had manufacturing plants and jobs all throughout America. | ||
| And he sells it to a company in China called Shanghai Shenda and ships thousands of American jobs to China and stuffs the profits in his pocket. | ||
| And then he has the audacity to say to me, to your daughter and others throughout this country who've worn the uniform that, you know, that wasn't a real job serving in the military. | ||
| Like, I'm going to take that guy on every single time. | ||
| I'm going to get someone, I'm going to get in the face of someone like that every single time. | ||
| We can't allow them to get away with that. | ||
| Okay, I just want to make sure people understand this. | ||
| When he said, you questioned him when he stood up for his opening remarks about these investments, and I think he bought the Sinopec stock. | ||
| It was publicly traded. | ||
| He bought that stock. | ||
| The other was a company he invested in, and obviously you're making the claim they shipped the jobs over. | ||
| When you call him out or question that, in his opening statement, which, you know, maybe you give the guy time to say it, but you call him out, he turned around and said, you don't know anything about the private sector. | ||
| And your point is that, hey, I've served my country in a war zone for a couple of tours. | ||
| I don't need some guy who's been making money over here telling me I don't know the private sector. | ||
| Is that the essence of it? | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| But it's not just that he's making money. | ||
| He's making money by taking American jobs and shipping them to China. | ||
| It's outrageous. | ||
| And if this guy thinks he's going to get away with that and get a seat in the U.S. | ||
| Senate, he's got another thing coming. | ||
| So you think when Gibbons talks about his business experience and bringing manufacturing jobs back and all that, you believe he's just another one of these investment banking phonies? | ||
| Your point is that, hey, when Trump was running and we ran the 16 campaign, particularly in Ohio, because people don't realize, a lot of people forget this, Immigration was big, but the bringing jobs back from China in Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin. | ||
| I keep telling people that's what won it for us up there. | ||
| Not the immigration, which was big, but this was the heart of that campaign, at least the last hundred days. | ||
| You're making the point that when Trump was actually doing this and talking about American economic nationalism, Mike Gibbons was, like many people on Wall Street, making money on China? | ||
| Literally. | ||
| I mean, and he brags about it on his website. | ||
| You know, if you go to his investment banking website, they brag about selling this company, Perfect Fit LLC, from America to China. | ||
| And they sold it to a company called Shanghai Shenda and shipped thousands of jobs to China. | ||
| And again, remember, this is happening at the very same time, Steve, that you and Donald Trump are crisscrossing places like Youngstown, Cleveland, Dayton, Marietta, Steubenville, Ohio. | ||
| Telling people here that President Trump is going to fight for the American people and fight to stop China from taking our jobs and bring those jobs home, which he did. | ||
| And at the very same time, Mike Gibbons is squirreling around behind Trump's back, taking American jobs and selling them into China. | ||
| I mean, it's just outrageous. | ||
| Now this guy has the audacity to run for the U.S. | ||
| Senate. | ||
| So if Portman is your mentor, at least when Portman is in the audience, you say he's your mentor, would you commit to toning this down and keep the content as hot as you can saying, hey, you made this money, but to tone down the personal animosity so that people can actually hear these debates and hear what people have to say? | ||
| And if you disagree with the guy, chop him up then. | ||
| Would you commit to not having these things thrown down into some type of physical confrontation? | ||
| Well, first of all, there's no personal animosity. | ||
| Facts are facts, and I think the voters of Ohio have a right to know that there's a guy running for the U.S. | ||
| Senate, Mike Gibbons, who made his millions off of taking American jobs and selling them... When you say this, Hank, I got that. | ||
| I got that. | ||
| I'm not saying you shouldn't do it, but you're saying no personal animosity. | ||
| If you had not been separated... | ||
| Don't you believe that you two guys would have come to blows? | ||
| It would look pretty obvious. | ||
| Being an Irishman and being enough bars in my life, it looked like it was about to be a thr- it was a throwdown. | ||
| It looked like it was about to come to blows. | ||
| If you hadn't have been broken up, would you guys not have gotten into a physical confrontation? | ||
| Because you weren't backing down and he wasn't backing down. | ||
| I don't know where it's going. | ||
| I have no idea where it would have gone. | ||
| One thing I do know is this race is materializing into a two-man race. | ||
| And here's the fork in the roads. | ||
| One fork in the road is someone like Mike Gibbons, who's Mitt Romney Jr. | ||
| You know, that path is a Mike Gibbons, Mitt Romney, Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney path, a pro-CCP path, a wimpy establishment Republican path. | ||
| We can't take that path. | ||
| I'm taking the other path, Steve. | ||
| Going there to be reinforcements, like I said, for fighters like Jim Jordan, Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, and others. | ||
| And I'm a fighter, man. | ||
| And listen. | ||
| I might not be the most charismatic guy in the world. | ||
| I'm not a, you know, movie star, TV personality like J.D. | ||
| Vance. | ||
| I'm not, you know, smooth and polished like some other people. | ||
| Hey, hey, Josh, Josh, hang on, hang on, Joshua, hang on one second. | ||
| We've got to take a commercial break. | ||
| I want to make sure you can finish this. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| We've got Mike Davis from Article 3 on the confirmation. | ||
| and we got Mo Brooks all next War Room. | ||

| I am pro-God, protecting the Judeo-Christian bedrock of America. | ||

Is that a is that a dead certainty? | |

| Appreciate it. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| Okay, Josh Mandel in Ohio, 7 o'clock tonight. | ||
| We'll make sure everybody's got the... We're also going to pregame that on a 6 p.m. | ||
| show, the 4th hour now, which is totally concentrated on Battleground. | ||
| It's the show that focuses on the 2022 elections and all the details of that. | ||
| That's where we broke the news on Friday about this special session in Florida so that Governor DeSantis gets that map right. | ||
| He's in a fight down there. | ||
| Okay, listen, we got a spot from Mo Brooks, the great Mo Brooks, about to join us. | ||
| Congressman Brooks is about to join us. | ||
| He's got a new spot out here. | ||
| We're premiering it right here on Worm. | ||
| Let's play it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm Mo Brooks, candidate for the United States Senate in Alabama. | |
| Today, I unveil my pledge to America to fire Mitch McConnell. | ||
| If elected to the Senate, I will not vote for Mitch McConnell for leader, and I will do everything in my power to ensure that Republicans choose a conservative to be leader. | ||
| America can't afford a Senate leader who is a weak need Today, Mitch's cash is coming at me again because I am a principled conservative and have President Trump's endorsement. | ||
| That's the battle across America. | ||
| McConnell vs. Trump in a war for the heart and soul of the Republican Party. | ||
| McConnell will do everything he can to defeat me because he's determined to stop the MAGA movement and Donald Trump's endorsed candidates for the U.S. | ||
| Senate. | ||
| I urge my opponents Katie Britt and Mike Durant to join me. | ||
| Do you stand with grassroots conservatives or Mitch McConnell and the RINOs? | ||
| Sign this pledge and tell conservatives you'll fire Mitch McConnell too. | ||
| I hope Republican Senate candidates nationwide will sign this pledge and send a message to America that we stand with Donald Trump, not Mitch McConnell. | ||
| If you will support us, please visit firemcconnell.com. | ||
| Saving America begins with electing a new Senate Majority Leader. | ||
| Okay, finally, finally somebody came out and framed this exactly what it is. | ||
| It is McConnell vs. Trump in these Senate seats. | ||
| People can spin it any way they want to, but it's McConnell vs. Trump, Mo Brooks. | ||
| And if McConnell hadn't gotten involved and gotten in front of Mo Brooks, Mo Brooks would have already been in the U.S. | ||
| Senate. | ||
| This all should have happened in 17, in that special election. | ||
| All should have happened then. | ||
| It should have been Mo Brooks. | ||
| We know that. | ||
| Mo, walk me through, specifically, what is your beef? | ||
| I know President Trump's beef with Mitch McConnell, but what is Mo Brooks' beef with Mitch McConnell? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mitch McConnell has sold out the special interest group. | |
| His definition of governance and power is to accumulate the money that special interest groups will give you if you will do what they want you to do. | ||
| Well, unfortunately, what that means is selling out the United States of America because, by definition, Special interest groups want something that is special, privileged, that is not in the greater interest of the United States of America. | ||
| I don't believe in that form of governance, but nonetheless, it has worked pretty well with Mitch McConnell because of what he does in these Senate races here and across the United States of America, is he uses that special interest group money to pound into submission those of us who believe in the Make America Great Again agenda, who are principled conservatives, who want to put America first. | ||
| OK, I want to go to this this discretionary spending, you know, the 1.5 trillion that we can't finance. | ||
| We've got to print money to do it because we can't raise taxes on the wealthy to pay for it. | ||
| And the Chinese don't want to buy our bonds. | ||
| So we're just going to print money. | ||
| They pass in the middle of the night with no debate. | ||
| Twenty seven hundred pages that we're just now finding out what a fiasco. | ||
| But it was driven by Mitch McConnell, but also this is Shelby of Alabama. | ||
| This is his one song, this kind of bipartisan deal he cut with Leahy. | ||
| Would you have opposed that bill or would you have gone along with the other collaborators in the Senate to get to pass that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, one of the things that distinguishes me from the other candidates is I actually have a voting record. | |
| And in the House, I voted for the defense part, but I voted against everything else. | ||
| It was broken into two parts. | ||
| And yes, if I'd been in the Senate, I absolutely would have voted no against the combined package. | ||
| You mentioned it very correctly. | ||
| It's $1.5 trillion. | ||
| It's money we don't have. | ||
| It's money we have to borrow to get. | ||
| It's money we cannot afford to pay back. | ||
| And ultimately, it's going to result in a very dangerous and debilitating insolvency and bankruptcy of the greatest nation on Earth. | ||
| And we need to stop that from happening. | ||
| Okay, but hang on, but hang on for a second. | ||
| The house thing was a gimmick. | ||
| The house thing was a gimmick. | ||
| Because we can't afford, look, I'm as pro-defense, I serve the military, my family has, my daughter has. | ||
| We can't afford a trillion dollar defense bill. | ||
| And defense is really a trillion dollars. | ||
| I know it comes out as that counting is 880 billion, whatever it is. | ||
| We can't continue on this spending on our defense. | ||
| We have to rethink the defense budget. | ||
| So to break it out, and to vote for it, isn't that still the same problem? | ||
| Because all you're doing, the gimmick is, let the liberals vote for the social justice warrior stuff, I'll vote against it, and let me vote for the defense, because that's what we've sold the people that we need. | ||
| Sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're right. | |
| It is a gimmick. | ||
| Unfortunately, the gimmick is controlled by Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, and I can only vote on what's in front of me. | ||
| Are there ways that we can shrink national defense without adversely affecting our national security? | ||
| Absolutely! | ||
| For one thing, we can start with not being the police cop on every corner of the planet. | ||
| But nonetheless, for whatever reason, the Warhawks have decided that that should be the role of the United States of America. | ||
| Personally, I would prefer that more of that money be spent on research and development of the kinds of high-tech weaponry that gives our warfighters a competitive advantage. | ||
| And I also prefer what Donald Trump tried to do with NATO. | ||
| For many years, make NATO start picking up their share of the burden. | ||
| After all, NATO's primarily there to defend Europe. | ||
| Europe, at a minimum, ought to be paying a whole lot more per capita than we the United States do on national security. | ||
| But so far, Europe has failed to absorb their burden of their own defense. | ||
| So there are plenty of things that we can do, and we need to do those. | ||
| They're talking about in the Senate after we win in November, we're going to have all these hearings in the House, but the Senate said, oh, we're going to do Hunter Biden and Fauci. | ||
| I haven't seen the invasion on the southern border yet mentioned when they talk about these Senate things. | ||
| By the way, I'm all for Hunter Biden. | ||
| You've got to do that. | ||
| And there's going to be more coming out on Hunter Biden. | ||
| I want to tell everybody we've got a lot more to do from the hard drive from hell. | ||
| We also obviously Fauci in the debacle of the of what Fauci did on COVID-19, but also the southern border. | ||
| So what are you going to lead with, Mo Brooks? | ||
| What have people in Alabama assumed that you're going to do and take leadership is when you win? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, unfortunately, this doesn't begin in the Senate, but I believe that there should be impeachment proceedings initiated against Joe Biden because of his breach of the United States Constitution and his failure to defend the southern border from an invasion. | |
| That, if I recall correctly, is Article 4, Section 4 of the United States Constitution, that the United States of America has agreed to take on the burden of defending each and every single state from an invasion. | ||
| We had 2 million unwanted individuals coming across our southern border during the past year under the Joe Biden administration. | ||
| That is a breach of his constitutional fiduciary duties to the American people, and he should be impeached in the House on that basis. | ||
| Okay, Durant's obviously, he's got these PACs that are never Trump PACs. | ||
| He's got McConnell's money in back of him. | ||
| He's the guy that they threw in here. | ||
| Try to beat you guys. | ||
| Katie Britt, tell us about her. | ||
| What are you calling Katie Britt to do? | ||
| What is your, because she's saying she's a constitutional conservative. | ||
| She's a smarter and better and tougher fighter than you are. | ||
| You're calling for her to also repudiate Mitch McConnell. | ||
| Am I hearing that correctly? | ||
|
unidentified
|
That is correct. | |
| Both Katie Britt and Mike Durant are pretenders. | ||
| They're not the real deal. | ||
| I'm a proven conservative. | ||
| They are not. | ||
| And there are plenty of contrast points I could draw that would establish to the MAGA community that these folks are rhinos, but that probably takes more time than we have, but sometime you want me on, I'll detail them. | ||
| But I just want to do a quick... Durant, let's leave him aside. | ||
| He's never Trump. | ||
| We started that. | ||
| We're going to drill a lot more on Durant. | ||
| He's a never Trump. | ||
| We're backed by these PACs that are never Trump PACs. | ||
| But Katie Britt's different. | ||
| Katie Britt's actually arguing she's a constitutional conservative. | ||
| She's a disciplined conservative. | ||
| Just give us... She says, hey, Mo Brooks is a nice guy, but he's yesterday's news. | ||
| So give me one minute on what are you calling for specifically today? | ||
| What's the call to action for Katie Britt for her to prove in your mind that she is a conservative? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Number one, sign this pledge that she will not vote to keep Mitch McConnell as the Republican leader in the Senate. | |
| Number two, repudiate in a believable fashion all these tax increases that she has supported in the past. | ||
| I have fought tax increases. | ||
| Katie Britt has fought to raise our taxes in Alabama. | ||
| In my judgment, she has publicly come out for more tax increases than any other Republican in Alabama history. | ||
| That's not the MAGA agenda. | ||
| So those are some of the things just right off the bat that we should be bringing forward, and that doesn't get even touch on Her weakness on border security and the importation of cheap foreign labor, which is the bulk or at least a substantial part of the millions of dollars she's getting from special interest groups. | ||
| They don't want Mo Brooks. | ||
| I'm for border security. | ||
| They have gravitated out of six candidates to Katie Britt. | ||
| That ought to tell people something. | ||
| Follow the money. | ||
| You'll know what their policies really are as opposed to what they misrepresent. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We're reaching out to Katie Britt's campaign to get Katie on here to respond to this. | ||
| But Mo, how do people, it's a powerful ad, very powerful, and you laid it out. | ||
| This is Trump versus McConnell. | ||
| Just cut through all the nonsense in every one of these races. | ||
| Real quickly, Mo, 30 seconds, how do people get to your site, find out more about your campaign? | ||

| Mike is Article 3. | ||
| Okay, so we've been breaking news all morning. | ||
| Sabatini told you about the special session down in Florida to get the 20 to 8 map. | ||
| We need that map, okay? | ||
| We need it and we're going to get it. | ||
| Mark Elias, just suck on that. | ||
| That map is coming, and we don't care what rhinos, what Jeb Bush buddies down there are trying to stop Governor DeSantis and people like Anthony Sabatini from getting it. | ||
| The people in Florida deserve that. | ||
| Hey, you guys play Smash Mouth in New York and California? | ||
| We're going to play Smash Mouth in Florida. | ||

| 7 p.m. | ||
| tonight, Eastern Time, the debate in Cleveland. | ||
| We'll make sure the links to all that, that'll be right after our 6 o'clock show, which we'll do a pregame on all of that. | ||
| And of course, Mo Brooks comes out today and says, hey, he ain't voting for Mitch McConnell because all these Senate races, when he cut through all the primaries, it's Trump versus McConnell. | ||
| Either going to do it McConnell's way. | ||
| Here's what McConnell gave you, the middle of the night, a $1.5 trillion Non-sustainable debacle, right? | ||
| And they did in the middle of the night, didn't have the common courtesy to read the 2,700 pages. | ||
| You still have no idea what's in there. | ||
| These bills are so complicated about what happened. | ||
| I want to bring in now Mike Davis. | ||
| Mike really changed the arc of this conversation. | ||
| He was the guy that worked with Josh Hawley to get all this information out. | ||
| Over at Article 3. | ||
| Mike, you've changed the debate on what was just going to blow through as a confirmation, and you did it, I think, in a very fair way, because this is about information that should have come out a long time ago, but must come out today. | ||
| Walk us through specifically this thing with child pornography, pedophiles, all that, because I think that's what people are most upset about. | ||
| They haven't, all the documents haven't turned over, and they don't really have a Thank you for having me on and so let's just back up and tell your listeners what's going on here. | ||
| And quite frankly, Durbin and these guys have done nothing but spin over the weekend. | ||
| They haven't answered any of your questions. | ||
| Mike Davis. | ||
| Thank you for having me on. | ||
| And so let's just back up and tell your listeners what's going on here. | ||
| Katonji Brown Jackson has a 25 year history of advocating for less punishment for sexual predators of kids. | ||
| And this goes back to her Harvard Law School publication as a law student or her Harvard Law School note where she argued that sex offender registry laws are essentially somehow unconstitutional, that they're unconstitutionally punitive. | ||
| And then when she was on the Sentencing Commission as the Vice Chair and a Sentencing Commissioner from 2010 to 2014, she ginned up the Commission to look at child pornography cases. | ||
| So, child pornography cases make up less than 2% of the federal criminal docket and usually the Sentencing Commission, which advises Congress and federal judges on the appropriate sentencing ranges for federal crimes. | ||
| She ginned this up and she took it on her own initiative to look into these federal sentences for people who possess and distribute child pornography. | ||
| Judges and prosecutors have gone way too light on this stuff over the years, so Congress And posed a mandatory minimum five-year prison sentence for people who possess and distribute child pornography. | ||
| I don't think that's enough, but Judge Katonji Brown-Jackson has made it one of her pet projects to advocate for lesser punishment for people who possess and distribute child pornography. | ||
| And she's done this on the Sentencing Commission, and she's done this, and I have that research at the Article 3 Project. | ||
| We have the receipts. | ||
| It's her public record. | ||
| It's not a smear. | ||
| It's her public record. | ||
| It's her public statements. | ||
| It's transcripts of her hearings at the Sentencing Commission. | ||
| And then Josh Hawley released the Senate Judiciary Republican Research. | ||
| They did a deep dive into her record as a federal trial court judge in Washington, D.C. | ||
| for eight years where she sentenced. | ||
| They found at least seven instances where she sentenced. | ||
| She went soft on child people who possessed and distributed child pornography. | ||
| She gave them Sentences where they should in one instance where a guy should have gotten like, you know up to 120 years in prison She gave him three months and Josh Hawley has the receipts It's on his Twitter feed and it's on counter. | ||
| It's this is incontrovertible and incontrovertible evidence that judge Katanji Brown Jackson has a 25 year history of trying to lessen punishment for child predators A couple questions. | ||
| By the way, we're going to hold you through. | ||
| Everybody should know at 11 o'clock the hearing is going to start. | ||
| Real America's Voice has got it. | ||
| We're going to continue with the show. | ||
| We'll have it in the box because the first 20 or 30 or 45 minutes are opening statements. | ||
| And I think we can avoid that. | ||
| We want to wait to get to the questioning where the meat's going to be. | ||
| Here's what I don't understand. | ||
| And here's I think a lot of the audience gets lost in this is that she's been approved to confirm by the Senate a couple of times here just recently to the appeals court in D.C., which is one level below the Supreme Court. | ||
| So if all this was so such a big deal, Mike, why did we have why did people not not focus on this? | ||
| In particular, her last confirmation hearing, which everybody realized that set her kind of in slot of being one of the people that might be called to serve in the Supreme Court, sir. | ||
| Well, there are two responses. | ||
| Number one, they probably should have found this. | ||
| We need to figure out why this was not discovered then. | ||
| But number two, when you have a Supreme Court nominee The Senate Judiciary Committee gets a supplemental budget to hire a whole bunch of more researchers and lawyers to look into the record of these Supreme Court nominees, because they're so important. | ||
| When you're dealing with a circuit court nomination, especially when President Biden and Chairman Dick Turbin jammed through Ketanji Brown-Jackson with another circuit court nominee on the same panel, they just didn't have the bandwidth to do the deep dive like we did at the Article 3 Project, where we actually went in To her sentencing commission records over a four-year period and went through her transcripts and went through the minutes. | ||
| And then from that, the Senate Judiciary Republicans went into it and did a deep dive into her district court records. | ||
| She had thousands of cases as a district court judge, 500 opinions, and they did a deep dive into those, and that's where they found this. | ||
| And so I think the issue is here we are right now for a Supreme Court hearing that's starting in three minutes, and Dick Durbin, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, is hiding her record. | ||
| He is hiding the fact that she did this advocacy on the Sentencing Commission. | ||
| We have her public transcripts. | ||
| Dick Durbin is refusing to release her routine records from her time as the Vice Chairman of the Sentencing Commission. | ||
| Okay, why don't you hang on for one second. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to return. | ||
| We got Mike Davis from the Article 3 Project. | ||
| The confirmation hearing is going to start. | ||
| We're bringing in Quartet, Darren Beattie, a bunch of controversial stuff in the second hour. | ||
| As necessary, we will cut into the hearings themselves. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Back in the Worm in 90 seconds. |
