The people have had a belly full of it. | |
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Back. | |
| We've got two members leading appropriations in the Senate who will no longer be here or be able to be held accountable to the constituents. | ||
| We've got an omnibill that takes twelve appropriation bills and puts them all together and adds the baseline of somewhere about a hundred billion dollars. | ||
| We're Christmas season. | ||
| A talk of the majority right now who wants to put a small continuing resolution to bump all the members up two days before Christmas. | ||
| To try to vote on a package they cannot read, written by Two individuals who will not be here on spending for the entire government. | ||
|

|
The Democrats have been in power. | |
| They've had the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. | ||
| They did not do their work. | ||
| But they should not jam us now. | ||
| They should not jam the American public. | ||
| We cannot afford it. | ||
| We should not move a short-term CR. | ||
| We should move one further into the new year. | ||
| Allow the American people what they said a month ago to change Washington as we know it today. | ||
| We can't afford to continue to spend the way the Democrats have. | ||
| The future generation cannot afford it as well. | ||
| Okay, welcome. | ||
| It is Thursday, 15 December in the year of our Lord 2022. | ||
| You are in the war room. | ||
| So we're halfway through the last month of the year. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| What a year. | ||
| Right now, and this audience, you are a central player in this drama that is taking place in your nation's capital about money and power. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Money and power. | ||
| And we're going to walk through some things here in a second. | ||
| So much going on today. | ||
| Explosive report up at Red State on the RNC and the spending of donors money. | ||
| We're going to get Harmeet Dhillon. | ||
| I think we're trying to get Harmeet Dhillon on and Mike Lindell who are running for RNC. | ||
| We've contacted the RNC and I think we've got Rana scheduled for tomorrow to go through this also because pretty explosive report. | ||
| And we're going to get to that in a moment. | ||
| The explosive report coming out from House Republicans on the Wuhan lab and all of that, we've got Natalie Winters, we've got Naomi Wolf later. | ||
| But we've got to get into what exactly is going on in your role in this, because today's a workday. | ||
| If I, if Denver could put up, I got Dave Bratz going to join me here momentarily. | ||
| In fact, Dave, come on in and thank you so much for carving some time out today. | ||
| I'm going to have to take Harmeet as soon as we get her because they're obviously she's running for RNC and running around. | ||
| Oh, we got her? | ||
| Oh, fine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| So, Dave, hang on for a second. | ||
| And can I put the story up I have up on Getter? | ||
| This is why you should have Getter because you didn't get the stories we put up early in the morning. | ||
| The one about the RNC spending. | ||
| Harmeet Dhillon, Uh is a president trump's lawyer. | ||
| She's been carrie lake's lawyer. | ||
| She's also a lawyer that's worked with the rnc. | ||
| She's running for chair of the rnc Uh, so red state harmeet Put this a story up and I want uh, grace and captain bannon and all the people that work the live chat to push this out into the live chat Right now and of course the great carrie bonet Uh over at midnight writer. | ||
| We want everybody to read this Story and like I said, we're going to get uh, ron on here tomorrow. | ||
| She's going to come on and talk about this But today we have Harmeet and we're going to have Mike Lindell back to back. | ||
| So Harmeet Dhillon, walk me through this pretty explosive about the spending of donors money at the RNC, this report done by the by Red State. | ||
| And we've reached out to the author of the story to have her on the show also. | ||
| But walk us through your first take. | ||
| It looks like, I don't know, millions and millions of dollars. | ||
| Well, I read the story late last night. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I just got off a plane. | |
| I've been running around on my chair race. | ||
| And let me tell you something. | ||
| First, some of these things do not surprise me, unfortunately, because we actually had a contested race for treasurer of the RNC two years ago. | ||
| In the course of that, One of the candidates, the challenger candidate, pointed out some of these things. | ||
| Mainly excessive staff spending on alcohol and, you know, frivolous things that don't help us win elections. | ||
| You know, most of us in the private sector buy our own drinks if we drink. | ||
| And so that's the starting point of this. | ||
| But some of the things I saw in there shocked me. | ||
| I had no idea that we're spending $17 million plus on donor gifts. | ||
| I mean, I'm a donor. | ||
| I've gone to some of the donor retreats to speak about election integrity issues and stuff. | ||
| I don't recall receiving any gifts that would, you know, sort of rise to that level. | ||
| Maybe there's a volume there. | ||
| Maybe there's something. | ||
| But donors don't, you know, newsflash, donors don't want tchotchkes. | ||
| They want their money to go to elect Republicans. | ||
| That's why they give to the RNC. | ||
| And one of the interesting details of the story is you look across to what the Democrats are doing. | ||
| The Democrats are not blowing, you know, a congressional race difference worth of money, $700,000 on flowers. | ||
| They spent a thousand bucks on flowers. | ||
| The same time period. | ||
| They're not spending a ton of money on private jets like we did. | ||
| They're not spending a ton of money on donor gifts that's virtually nil. | ||
| And so I guess what they're doing that we're not doing. | ||
| They're winning elections. | ||
| And so I am just stunned at the number of people at the RNC who are, you know, frankly, I think ripping off the donors or at a minimum showing contempt for big and small donors. | ||
| But more importantly, Members of the RNC have known about this. | ||
| I did. | ||
| I voted for change at the RNC two years ago, and I'm urging change across the board at the RNC this time around. | ||
| But a lot of members are just very happy in their sinecures of, oh, I'm the chair of this committee, I'm the chair of that committee, or they've been reminded Ronna transferred X amount of dollars to our state over the last few years, and so we owe her a debt of gratitude. | ||
| This is not a person's particular piggy bank. | ||
| This is about electing Republicans, and if we aren't doing that, we should be replaced. | ||
| We should be doing something different. | ||
| And unfortunately, we're just rearranging the deck chairs here. | ||
| So I'm sure Rana will have an explanation for some of these things, I hope. | ||
| I mean, maybe some of this stuff is related to campaign work. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I mean, there may be a good explanation for some of it. | ||
| There's no good explanation for some of it. | ||
| I don't understand candles showing up on an FEC report. | ||
| I don't understand the limo bill. | ||
| for a populist people's party. | ||
| I just don't get it, so I'm looking forward to hearing more. | ||
| Here's the thing, still the bulk of their, when they talk about donors, I know they got people that give large sums, but those donors are also wealthy. | ||
| They do their own, I mean, they go to their own resorts. | ||
| They do their own thing. | ||
| They're not looking for these kind of special, I wouldn't think, right? | ||
| They want the use of proceeds to go to where, But also still the bulk of the donors are still little guys. | ||
| Men and women are hitting you with a $50 or $100, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
More like $5. | |
| And you continue to get the emails all the time. | ||
| They ain't getting a tchotchke. | ||
| They're not getting a private jet ride or a limo ride, I don't think. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's the direction. | |
| Yeah, go ahead. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Look, when we have donor retreats, the donors pay their own way, okay? | |
| Like, if I go to a donor retreat to help the RNC with fundraising on legal issues, which I've done numerous times at my own expense, I go and I pay for it, and it's nice. | ||
| It is at a nice resort. | ||
| But the retreat you described earlier, you know, I think that the retreats in this story are for the staff. | ||
| They're not for the donors. | ||
| They're for the consultants. | ||
| Hold on, hold on, hold on. | ||
| You're saying that they pick out one from the Salamander, which, by the way, is founded by the wife of, I think, Robert Johnson, the founder of BET, who are some of the biggest supporters of the Democratic Party, I think. | ||
| I might be wrong there, but I think they're big supporters of the Democratic Party. | ||
| They highlight this one in Middleburg at Salamander. | ||
| Are you saying those are not donor retreats? | ||
| That that's just for the staff? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No, no. | |
| I mean, donor retreats are to raise money. | ||
| And of course, you have to spend money to raise money. | ||
| That's a whole separate issue of what our overhead is for raising money. | ||
| I've been told by people who are familiar with the fact that our overheads for raising money at these big donor events is like 40%, which is obscene. | ||
| You know, we have friends at Turning Point USA, which raises, you know, $100 million. | ||
| They raise it with about less than Maybe a fifth of that cost of overhead. | ||
| So I'm not sure who's getting rich off of these events, but it sure isn't electing Republicans. | ||
| But the, but, but if you read this story, it's talking about, um, like a Raiders box for the staff. | ||
| It's talking about a, you know, a hundred thousand dollar plus retreat for the staff where we, where we flew people on their plus one in first class to this retreat. | ||
| I, uh, this blows my mind. | ||
| It is, it is not how things are done in the nonprofit world, or if they are, they shouldn't be. | ||
| And even in the corporate world, if it's your money, you can do whatever you want. | ||
| It isn't the, it isn't the RNC's money. | ||
| It's donor money and it should be used to elect Republicans. | ||
| So, you know, if people want to turn a blind eye on this at the RNC and just say, this is okay, this is business as usual, or as the chair spokesperson said, This is only less than 1% of the money she raised. | ||
| That's the wrong attitude. | ||
| Every single penny that we raise should be used to the greatest extent possible towards the goal, making this country greater, electing sound constitutional conservatives with spines to change the degradation of our country. | ||
| That's not what this money is being used for. | ||
| I want every single penny of it used for that, not for fancy coffee and tchotchkes. | ||
| What is the state party, the three people per state, the 168, have they known about this? | ||
| Are there financial reports? | ||
| Is there some executive committee or board of directors that actually gets quarterly statements and then signs off? | ||
| You said there was a treasurer race a couple of years ago, but normally you would get quarterly statements. | ||
| So how well is this going to be a shock this morning, the story in red state, to the 168 people that are going to vote? | ||
| Are they going to sit there and go, yeah, we knew that. | ||
| And it's only a small percentage of the overall money raised, so it's not a big deal. | ||
| Great question. | ||
| Or is this going to be a shock to them? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Some of the story was a shock to me. | |
| Actually, most of the story was a shock to me. | ||
| I couldn't believe it. | ||
| Some of these things are going to be a shock to almost all the members. | ||
| I can give them the benefit of the doubt. | ||
| There will be very few members of the RNC who think this is OK, I hope. | ||
| We'll find out in coming days and weeks. | ||
| However, the fact that some of this stuff was happening, mainly on the excessive spending on the staff side, was pointed out two years ago in the chair race. | ||
| And, you know, our chair aggressively whipped the votes for the treasurer who she brought on when she became the chair of the RNC, Ron Kaufman from Massachusetts. | ||
| And Ron had worked on Mitt Romney's campaign for governor there. | ||
| And so we hear about that every few minutes. | ||
| And so, you know, that combination has allowed virtually no transparency in our finances. | ||
| And if you even ask members of the Finance Committee about some of these things, they have no idea. I mean, the power and the spending are very closely held at the very top. | ||
| Members who, I saw a line in the story, it would be from one of my other colleagues, members who ask questions, you know, are marginalized. | ||
| I've actually referred to this in this race last week, and there was outrage. | ||
| There was pearl clutching. | ||
| There was, you know, clogged reins. | ||
| I'm shocked. | ||
| Shocked to hear that there's gambling going on in this establishment. | ||
| You know, people clutch their pearls in horror that anybody would promise anybody anything, like a committee appointment or chairmanship or, you know, support for a particular program in their state in exchange for their support. | ||
| That's exactly what happens in politics. | ||
| You know, horse trading goes along. | ||
| But what I'm seeing here is really quite disturbing. | ||
| I hope that everybody who's affiliated in this organization takes a hard look at what we're doing here. | ||
| I pledge to change it. | ||
| Will the chair pledge to change it? | ||
| I seriously doubt it. | ||
| Harmeet, how do people follow you? | ||
| How did they get to you to find out more about you and your race to be chairman of the RNC? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The best place to follow me is on Twitter at P-N-J-A-B-A-N. | |
| I also have a website where people can support us for the campaign and sign up. | ||
| That's D-H-I-L-L-O-N-4-F-O-R-R-N-C dot com. | ||
| And, you know, this is a grassroots effort. | ||
| Some of the members of the RNC are incredibly upset about hearing from the grassroots from their states. | ||
| I'm sorry about that, but I am very happy to hear from grassroots. | ||
| I've heard from them for years. | ||
| That's why I'm here. | ||
| I'm not here for You know, all of these frills. | ||
| I make my own money and I can pay for that stuff myself. | ||
| No need for a tchotchke for Harmeet Dhillon? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Harmeet doesn't do tchotchkes. | |
| Harmeet does not do tchotchkes. | ||
| That's your campaign slogan. | ||
| Harmeet Dhillon, thank you. | ||
| Thank you for getting up this morning and being with us after traveling. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thanks for having me. | |
| Short break. | ||
| We've got Dave Brat. | ||
| We have Mike Lindell. | ||
| We're all in this one. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| We've got a lot of talk about the Omnibus, but we got to get this exploding story. | ||
| And I want to, I think we've confirmed to have Rana on tomorrow. | ||
| She wants to put this in context. | ||
| And of course, she has the right to do that. | ||
| We're going to do it. | ||
| But I got Lindell is also running for chair of the RNC, but I want to, Dave Brat. | ||
| Before I bring up Mike, you've got a connection. | ||
| Connect some dots here between what you've seen about this spending and the problem we have here in our nation's capital as we throw down on these huge massive fights are taking place over the next couple of days. | ||
| I want to add one. | ||
| We got five, but I've told you back on the afternoon of January 20th of 2021 statehood for DC and for Puerto Rico. | ||
| They're going to vote on Puerto Rico today. | ||
| Now, it's not going to happen, but we'll get you up to speed on that too. | ||
| Dave Brat, how does this story, explosive story about the RNC's spending of donor money, and by the way, that means the little guys too, how does that relate to our dilemma here in the nation's capital? | ||
| Yeah, well, it's just the same old. | ||
| It's the grassroots versus the establishment over and over and over. | ||
| The grassroots is treated to, you know, 7-8% inflation rates. | ||
| a huge indebtedness, near sovereign debt crises, and the list of the horribles, and the elites are treated to airplane rides and caviar, etc. | ||
| So there's just this total disconnect up at the leadership to the RNC, up at the leadership in Congress on both sides, and it's just symbolic of the entire budget process at the federal level too, which is, it's not just a budget. | ||
| You're funding the administrative state. | ||
| So anyone that follows this show, you're funding wars abroad to the tunes of one hundred billion dollars this year with a potential trillion dollar state build back. | ||
| You're funding the radicalization of our Defense Department, while the Senators, who are trying to pass this huge budget bill, $1.5 trillion, with the biggest deficit ever reported a couple days ago, and they're bringing in all the usual tricks right before Christmas, and the Defense Secretary comes out and says, this is a matter of national security, and they'll send letters back to your constituents if you don't vote for it. | ||
| This happens every Christmas. | ||
| And then, you know, even McCarthy and leadership, I hate to say this, but they did the same thing to us Republicans. | ||
| They treated us to these same budget tricks when Paul Ryan was the head of the ship and arranged these late votes before Christmas and did the same thing to us. | ||
| And I wouldn't vote yes for trillion dollar deficits. | ||
| And so, you know, I paid the price for that in terms of the usual. | ||
| No funding for elections. | ||
| No committee, prime committee assignments, etc. | ||
| But I sleep well at night. | ||
| On that front, I think I did the right thing. | ||
| You're saying the RNC overspending sets the attitude for that? | ||
| Is that your point? | ||
| Yeah, there's no tone of austerity or Embarrassment at, you know, living a life of luxury when the middle class and the poor are getting pummeled right now. | ||
| And the pummeling's just beginning, right? | ||
| The Fed, I think, is still going to keep jacking up rates to end the Greenspan put, and they're going to drive us into a mild to medium recession. | ||
| And so the hardship, of course, always falls on the poor. | ||
| I hope Powell's doing the right thing here, but we'll see. | ||
| Hang on a second, we're getting into all of this in more detail. | ||
| I want to bring Mike Lindell, who I understand is pressed for time because he's running also to be chairman of the RNC. | ||
| So Mike, you've had a chance to review this story and knowing how my pillow runs and Mike Lindell, give us your, give us your assessment, sir. | ||
| It's a, it's shameful, Steve. | ||
| You know, when I raise any, any, any time, you know, the past two years when I've had my Lindell Legal Offense Fund, I'll tell you what, every dollar goes to help the country. | ||
| It doesn't go for private jets or go for flowers or candles. | ||
| But one of the things I was watching, Harmeet, what she brought up, 40% of the money, it costs 40% to raise money at donor events and stuff, the overhead of 40%. | ||
| raise money at donor events and stuff, the overhead of 40%. | ||
| So if you have a dollar, 60 or 40 cents is going to the overhead. | ||
| That is, I'm telling you, I have never heard of such a thing. | ||
| Is the overhead of my pillow 40%? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I couldn't even wrap my head around that. | |
| I go, if I'm a donor, I am just, you know, you asked her if it was a shock to the 168. | ||
| I can't imagine the shock to the donors that woke up this morning to this story. | ||
| And this is, you know, this is why I'm running. | ||
| This is my wheelhouse. | ||
| So, you know, we go, once we get the RNC righted, the ship righted, the holes filled, now you can go to a donor and say, you know what? | ||
| Your money, every possible dime is going to go to help save the country and help get these Republicans elected. | ||
| 40% of a donor gives $100,000, $40,000 would go to overhead. | ||
| I mean, how much are they paying these guys to go out and solicit money from these guys? | ||
| It's horrible. | ||
| It's actually horrible. | ||
| This is shameful. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| I would like to talk to Ron. | ||
| I want to get that debate going. | ||
| I really want to debate her and say, how could you do this? | ||
| Why would you run? | ||
| You know? | ||
| I mean, I don't think people know, like right now, so much of the legal stuff is coming out of, I mean, just say it. | ||
| You're underwriting with your legal fund. | ||
| Many of these fights are going around in the country. | ||
| I mean, you're putting money out all the time. | ||
| People behind the scenes know that Lindell's sitting there and his legal fund and these other things you've got are paying for this. | ||
| How do you feel seeing the use of proceeds go for some of these things? | ||
| When you're, you know, you're doing what you would argue the RNC should be doing in some of these fights, you're actually underwriting. | ||
| Yeah, well, yeah, most of them, or almost all of them. | ||
| And, you know, that's a big problem I have with the RNC. | ||
| But then I also look back and I think of money I put in the RNC, I'm thinking back now going, wow, that could be single-handedly the biggest waste of money I ever spent, maybe in the last six years. | ||
| I'm upset at both ends. | ||
| Who's deciding where the money goes from the RNC, what bit they have left? | ||
| But then now you come up with all these things that they're spending on that should not be even on the report. | ||
| She should be ashamed of herself. | ||
| You know, when I asked people, when I asked 168, why would Ronnie even run if she loves her country and you failed, failed and failed? | ||
| Well, now I guess I'm seeing why. | ||
| Ego, ego, money, money. | ||
| You know, what else could it be? | ||
| I mean, what message would you, what would you do differently? | ||
| What's your pitch to people? | ||
| You know, you're a populist. | ||
| My pillow is quite austere in the way you guys run. | ||
| How, what would be your, what would be, what's your message to the 168? | ||
| Who I imagine are surprised by this this morning. | ||
| Do you imagine they don't really know this is going on? | ||
| What's your pitch to 168? | ||
| Well, I'll be getting, I have phone calls all day with them, and I will be, I'll be saying to them, were you aware that it costs 40% to go out and get money, to solicit money from donors? | ||
| I said, were you aware of that? | ||
| That where it's costing 40%, I bet most of them aren't aware of that. | ||
| And I'll say, you know what? | ||
| That's my wheelhouse. | ||
| If I'm going to, we're going to fix this. | ||
| You got to know that you got to bake to your donor. | ||
| That's the big, that's how it runs. | ||
| You got to be able to look your donor in the eye and say, Hey, every dime or every, every dime possible, you know, or maybe just open, say it's going to cost 5% overhead by the time we get your money to the front lines where it's needed. | ||
| But I'll tell you what, those front lines where it's needed, we're going to improve on each and every one, whether it's ads, whether it's on the ground, whether it's Whether it's getting involved in any lawsuits that have any bearing on saving our country, every single dime spent will be completely transparent. | ||
| It sounds to me like everybody's a little surprised that these were hid from the members and from the donors, these expenses. | ||
| It's bad enough that you're spending the money in the wrong places that don't manifest to Return on the investment, but when you're taking money and you're completely spending it over here, we'll just say frivolously for now. | ||
| We won't say, um, anything was done wrong. | ||
| It was absolutely morally wrong, but that will all stop immediately. | ||
| And the, and you, uh, this isn't going to take long either. | ||
| This is what I do. | ||
| Um, I'm not, I will never, Steve, I wouldn't be able to go to a donor and look him in the eye, collect $1 until this thing was right. | ||
| And say, here's where your money's going to go now. | ||
| And here's what's going to cost the overhead to take your money out there. | ||
| I would never donate anything where I know you have a 40% overhead that's just going to get flushed down the drain. | ||
| I can't even wrap my head around this right now. | ||
| I still think the bulk come from little donors. | ||
| What do you say to the little guys, the bulk of the War Room audience, the people that give you 50 to 100 bucks, right? | ||
| And maybe go on a program, it's 10 bucks a month. | ||
| What is Mike Lindell's pitch to them who don't get a vote for you? | ||
| Yeah, it's really sad. | ||
| It's a it's that that they that they're out there doing this. | ||
| And these are things that we need to fix. | ||
| I mean, whatever they all care for our country, and they're putting in that might be the only thing they have that day. | ||
| And I want to if I'm standing there, I'm going and I've got $20 that I can spare. | ||
| And I'm going to go where can I spend it? | ||
| Where would be where would help our country the most? | ||
| Where would help the most? | ||
| They need to know that. | ||
| Instead of they see loss, loss, loss, and now something like this comes out? | ||
| You know, right now, this makes it even more critical that we have to have change. | ||
| Rana has to go. | ||
| Or you know what? | ||
| The RNC, I mean, this is the micro donors, the macro donors. | ||
| How are they going to get by this, Steve? | ||
| I mean, I don't know how they could even think it was bad enough before going, you failed. | ||
| But now they find that during these failures, you're spending all this money that's not yours. | ||
| Shame on you, Rana. | ||
| Mike, we've got to bounce. | ||
| How do people get to you and find out about your campaign to be chairman at RNC? | ||
| Yeah, go to Frank Speech, get the app, Frank Speech. | ||
| My show is every day at 6 p.m. | ||
| Central Time. | ||
| You can also reach me at Mike Lindell at Getter and at TruSocial. | ||
| Mike Lindell, thank you very much. | ||
| Fight on. | ||

Let's take down the CCB! | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bass. | ||
| When are we gonna get her? | ||
| Okay. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, welcome. | |
| Uh, we're- You're welcome. | ||
| We're we're this is the run and shoot offense this morning. | ||
| We're putting this together. | ||
| We're trying to get the author of the story over at Red State did an incredible job. | ||
| So we'll make sure we get her. | ||
| We're trying to get her book her this morning. | ||
| If the guys in Denver, the men and women in Denver, the team could put up on this PowerPoint that I've done, one page PowerPoint. | ||
| And for our vast podcast audience, as you know, we're one of the top political podcasts in the nation and even bigger throughout the world. | ||
| I want to thank our global audience. | ||
| I've got the five things we remember. | ||
| We start talking about these before Thanksgiving about the lame duck. | ||
| What was going to happen? | ||
| Right after the right after the election. | ||
| And so these are the big five and I want to go through for everybody watching on the stream on television everywhere. | ||
| You can follow and I got Dave Brad here. | ||
| So Dave, I'm going to bring you in here momentarily. | ||
| You had the debt ceiling. | ||
| You had amnesty for two to four million illegal aliens, right? | ||
| That would be the end of the country. | ||
| We had the omnibus bill, and we said six or eight weeks ago, it's gonna be 1.5 trillion to 2 trillion. | ||
| Hey, wait for it. | ||
| This morning, they announced 1.7 trillion. | ||
| Not bad, Bannon. | ||
| And that does not include the financing cost, I'm pretty sure. | ||
| Because they keep that out, which is another, I think, $800 billion. | ||
| So it's $2.5 trillion added to Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, which is $3.5 trillion. | ||
| So this thing's over $5 trillion. | ||
| That's what they're passing. | ||
| Omnibus. | ||
| Then you got the Woke Defense Authorization Act that kind of sets up what they're going to do with the money once you approve the Appropriations Bill. | ||
| And that's totally woke. | ||
| Then you've got the Electoral Count Act. | ||
| That's the big five. | ||
| We call five for fighting. | ||
| That's the big five. | ||
| Right. | ||
| We didn't include Puerto Rico and some of these other things that we're looking at as outliers. | ||
| Oh, they're going to try to jam all this in. | ||
| Let me pull the camera back for a second. | ||
| And Brett, you've seen this. | ||
| They are in a lame duck with a Congress has already been voted out in a new direction for the country. | ||
| They are trying to do things that are structurally so massive that can't be done with full debate. | ||
| They can't be done to bring the country together to actually argue it out in horse trade and have compromise and maybe say, okay, we could do this or have total opposition of one side or the other. | ||
| This is just trying to, and Kevin McCarthy used our terms, jamming it through, trying to jam people up. | ||
| Now there's an article. | ||
| So right there, you got debt ceiling, amnesty, omnibus, the woke defense bill, electoral count act. | ||
| Let me just give you a status report. | ||
| As of this moment, I think, and this is 100% because of you and your efforts. | ||
| And I'm going to prove that you're not going to take that from Steve Bannon. | ||
| You're going to take that from a United States Senator that I'm about to give you the quote out of the Hill newspaper this morning. | ||
| The debt ceiling, I think right now has been kicked into 2023. | ||
| We'll address that when it comes. | ||
| And remember, this is all about leverage. | ||
| This is what happens in negotiations on M&A or anything. | ||
| It's about leverage. | ||
| Who has the leverage? | ||
| Right now, you have it. | ||
| You're the chairman of the creditors committee. | ||
| You, this audience. | ||
| I know sometimes it doesn't feel like it. | ||
| But remember, sometimes the creditors committee, they try to end run it too. | ||
| So the debt ceiling, I think it's a victory. | ||
| Look, these things are never dead until they're dead. | ||
| I think we're good there. | ||
| Amnesty announced last night, tweeted out last night, I've got that story up on Getter. | ||
| If my crack staff here can make sure Denver and also Grace Chung and Captain Bannon have it to put it out in all the live chats right now. | ||
| Then basically came out last night. | ||
| He said the Tillis and this was not red state. | ||
| It was one of those Town Hall. | ||
| I think Town Hall had a great article about the Tillis bill late last night that Amnesty bill looks like it's dead because the do Amnesty right now with the invasion of the southern border. | ||
| What's happening? | ||
| El Paso would be to be the end of the country immediately. | ||
| You would have 100 million people up here forthwith. | ||
| I think Amnesty and that's because of your calls and your pressure boom. | ||
| So then we got to the omnibus. | ||
| The Omnibus is, we finally, McCarthy has finally, as you can tell, we started the show with that, that's not exactly a full-throated, he didn't exactly go War Room on him, right? | ||
| But for right now, that's about as much as you can do. | ||
| This Omnibus has the next two elements, the Electoral Count Act, this is what they've done, this is what sleazeballs they are. | ||
| Romney and this crowd have attached, because we haven't seen the Omnibus bill, you've got to understand this, they're talking just top line numbers. | ||
| They haven't shown this to any of the members yet. | ||
| This massive bill that will be three feet high. | ||
| But what we know is they've taken the Electoral Count Act because they can't pass that normally. | ||
| They've tucked that into the omnibus bill. | ||
| I'm not making this up to change the Electoral Count Act of 18. | ||
| Was it 87? | ||
| Right? | ||
| They've they've they've tucked that into the omnibus bill. | ||
| The woke defense authorization. | ||
| They took the no vaccines going forward but didn't do anything else and took all the other wokeism and authorized it and that is out and that'll be triggered now by the passing of the omnibus. | ||
| Once the omnibus is passed, the money will be there. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| A little complicated. | ||
| It's all interstitial. | ||
| It's all interconnected. | ||
| If I can pull up the the article from the Hill and this Hill article is about McCarthy coming out yesterday upset McConnell in the worst way in the inner workings of the Senate because, man, McCarthy came out and made our job so much harder. | ||
| What is he doing? | ||
| And it says secretly, it says the quiet part out loud, two things. | ||
| Number one, it says secretly McCarthy is really rooting for this. | ||
| Remember, they just had the meeting in the Roosevelt room last week where he told those guys, yeah, I'm on board. | ||
| Let's do it. | ||
| Because it, quote unquote, Gets him off of tough votes early next year on appropriations. | ||
| Yes, they're going to be tough votes. | ||
| Because people are going to say, hey, here's what I think we ought to do with the FBI. | ||
| How about zero? | ||
| That's going to be a tough vote. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right? | |
| How about this? | ||
| Or how about DHS on anything to deal with the southern border? | ||
| Zero until they secure the border. | ||
| It's not just about money. | ||
| It's about leverage. | ||
| Leverage. | ||
| We have the leverage right now. | ||
| We're going to have it more so in the new Congress. | ||
| They have to basically come and get your permission, your permission to do any of this madness. | ||
| You can go back to the defense, but you can go back to the Defense Appropriations Bill and take all of the madness. | ||
| I remember all these groups at the border, the 35 NGOs that the Hill, Mike Howell and the Hill did such a great job on the cell phones. | ||
| Remember that? | ||
| That's all pay that all comes to these massive bills that you're paying for these NGOs to destroy your country. | ||
| You go through on the voting on voting on everything on HSS. | ||
| You got nothing but left-wing groups throughout the government. | ||
| They're paid the government gives them money big money big time. | ||
| That's all got to come out. | ||
| All of its got to come out all of it. | ||
| This is where you got to sit there and go. | ||
| No. | ||
| If Biden's going to shut down the government, then lame shut down the government. | ||
| Here's what we're approved. | ||
| Here's what we're appropriate. | ||
| Suck on that. | ||
| Here's what we're going to do. | ||
| If we can pull up that story, it's not that McCarthy secretly, they say McCarthy's really pushing for this behind the scenes, really secretly pushing for it because he he doesn't want to have all these hard votes. | ||
| He wants to start with a clean slate, a clean slate that you have no leverage. | ||
| This is the mentality up here. | ||
| They've taken it away from you. | ||
| The senator, there's a senator that goes down and says, yeah, you know, Kevin didn't have to make it personal. | ||
| He shouldn't have just targeted McConnell right off the bat, but he's got the, if we pull up the part right there, he goes, here's the problem. | ||
| They got their, they got their constituents, their voters all worked up and they're making these phone calls. | ||
| They're making these phone calls and that's made it uncomfortable for us. | ||
| Uh, hell yeah. | ||
| The number 2-0-2-2-2-4-3-1-2-1. | ||
| 2-0-2-2-2-4-3-1-2-1. | ||
| As a citizen of this country, call your senator and give him an earful of what you think he ought to do on the side of us. | ||
| Remember, they cannot possibly Uh, they cannot possibly, uh, they cannot possibly pass this without Republican votes. | ||
| I got, Brad's got a punch out here. | ||
| Dave, Brad, I just walked you through all of it. | ||
| Give me your assessment. | ||
| You were, you were one of the guys over there. | ||
| They're fighting the good fight all the time. | ||
| Talk to us about what has to happen here. | ||
| And by the way, my, is my theory of the case wrong? | ||
| Or is that the, is that the correct way to look at it? | ||
| No, that's the most up-to-date news as usual on the war room, beating everyone else to the punch and the logic and the rationale and the intuition. | ||
| And I'll just add, the people listening won't believe this when I say this, but two senators are buddies for the last 40 years and huge spenders, the worst deficit folks there are. | ||
| Shelby and Leahy, a Shelby Republican, head of the Appropriations Committee. | ||
| And these people are treated as untouchable. | ||
| And believe it or not, they're both just celebrating. | ||
| The Republican is celebrating because the defense people and the infrastructure people and the industry people are all just patting us back. | ||
| You're awesome. | ||
| And so the folks at home, you won't believe I'm saying that, but they're being applauded right now for this disaster that you're going to pay for. | ||
| No consequences when it comes to running up the biggest deficit ever by far, 31 trillion in debt, that now, right, and the Fed funds rates going up, it's near five now, it's going to go up probably to five and a half, six. | ||
| And you got now interest payments coming in to that 31 trillion at five or 6%. | ||
| And that's going to be equal to the size of the defense budget rather soon. | ||
| And so this is the fight. | ||
| It's not a budget. | ||
| You're funding the administrative state, which is currently fighting against the American people, the Department of Justice, the FBI. | ||
| You've seen all the Twitter files, the Elon Musk stuff. | ||
| That's all the administrative state. | ||
| And the question is, are you going to fund it or not? | ||
| Make the phone calls and vote for sanity. | ||
| I don't care whether you're Democrat, Republican. | ||
| This spending issue is the biggest we have to face down. | ||
| It's hard to be a fiscal responsible representative when you're rewarded up in the swamp for doing the opposite. | ||
| But if you put the heat on your folks, That's what needs to happen, and I will give McCarthy a hat tip for calling out the two senators, which he did, and that deserves credit. | ||
| Yeah, Shelby and, remember, Shelby was a Democrat at one time, but Shelby and Leahy, both who are leaving, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Brat, how do people get to you? | ||
| How do people follow you? | ||
| Yeah, Brat Economics on Getter and then Third Floor Business School, Liberty University. | ||
| I have a lot of War Room parents come up with their seniors in high school. | ||
| Please come up, visit. | ||
| Just always great to see the great families that come visit from the War Room and the Patriots from around the country. | ||
| So God bless. | ||
| Have a Merry Christmas. | ||
| I hope I talked to you all before then. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But all the best and Merry Christmas to everyone. | |
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| In fact, we got to start. | ||
| I'm going to talk to myself. | ||
| We got to get the annual Christmas music. | ||
| We got to start playing, getting to the Christmas spirit. | ||
| Thanks, Brett. | ||
| They've kicked this down to the, this is going to go down to Christmas Eve. | ||
| This is going to go down to the 23rd. | ||
| So for all of our staff that was going to take off all that time, hey, not so fast, as we say in the Navy. | ||
| Who's got the weekend off at step 40? | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| Not so fast. | ||
| Just kidding, guys. | ||
| We'll figure this out. | ||
| Remember, this Omnibus bill, which is just a massive spending bill, is really to fund the government for this year, this fiscal year, which starts October 1st. | ||
| They're supposed to do that last year. | ||
| So on September 30th, boom, it's done at midnight. | ||
| The old year is over. | ||
| The new year comes in to start the fourth quarter and other, you know, the fiscal fourth quarter for the year. | ||
| But it's really the first quarter Of the government here. | ||
| But they always delay it and the reason they delay it's on purpose stopping this today or over the next week. | ||
| It'll it'll also break a mentality. | ||
| It'll break a habit. | ||
| They're addicted to this like they're addicted to a drug like cocaine or directed heroin. | ||
|
unidentified
|
In the first the second full month. | |
| Of this fiscal year, $250 billion deficit, $250 billion. | ||
| And the reason is $250 billion. | ||
| The reason is $250 billion is because the spending's increasing and the, um, the tax revenues are collapsing because of the, what the federal reserve is doing to break aggregate demand, the ability to, you buy things to afford to buy things. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| This is insanity because you have a tightening monetary policy and you have an expanding fiscal policy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is another massive stimulus bill. | |
| We'll talk all about that, connect all the dots for you next in the world. | ||

| Nancy Pelosi, they had the portrait yesterday. | ||
| You saw the portrait of Nancy Pelosi? | ||
| Nancy Pelosi today is going to put up the vote for Puerto Rican statehood. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi, you saw the portrait yesterday? | ||
| Boehner's crying, he's blubbering, he's weeping, right? | ||
| That's a good look. | ||
| Did Nancy Pelosi, was there ever any talk in the Democratic Party about how small her majority was, barely there? | ||
| She had the same majority we got right now. | ||
| You delivered that. | ||
| Don't let any mainstream media or the conservative thing or Fox News tell you otherwise. | ||
| You delivered that. | ||
| We delivered what? | ||
| Five million more votes than the other side. | ||
| You delivered that. | ||
| And the reason we didn't win more is because the Republican establishment and these people that call themselves Republicans that don't back you on the cultural issues and don't back you on going after the administrative state to get to the bottom of all this. | ||
| They just want their tax cuts and they want their deregulation. | ||
| They want their own fat lives to be fatter, right? | ||
| And don't care about the country. | ||
| Okay, but we got it. | ||
| Now we got to use it. | ||
| And that's why they hate you. | ||
| Remember the Hill Newspaper, the Senator, they hate you. | ||
| They hate you because you're a relentless patriot and you refuse to back off. | ||
| The numbers 202-224-3121. | ||
| I think we got the debt ceiling. | ||
| I think we got MC. | ||
| Those are massive. | ||
| They wanted to jam through so much they could taste it. | ||
| They want to jam it through. | ||
| The omnibus now is the Big Kahuna. | ||
| We've called this from day one. | ||
| They're all talking about me. | ||
| They fear you. | ||
| They fear your phone calls. | ||
| So get up in their grill as you should as the righteous indignation. | ||
| Of a citizenry that has been abused by these, you can't call anything else, a uniparty that's totally been merged with the administrative state and they feed it and they use the Federal Reserve to feed it. | ||
| This whole thing's unfunded, totally unfunded. | ||
| The discretionary spending part of it. | ||
| Don't let, I will walk you through the math. | ||
| They can't put the, they can't put the wool over my eyes. | ||
| I can walk you through the math and show you how they lie every day. | ||
| And eventually the facts come out, boom, we're right. | ||
| Got Chris Hoare joins us from the phone. | ||
| So I wanted to get you back because we had a special on the satellite phones last time. | ||
| 500, bang! | ||
| War Room Special sells out right away. | ||
| And I've asked you if there's anything else we can get people before Christmas because I want to make sure everybody gets these great products from our sponsors and gets them before Christmas. | ||
| Before I do that, I want to give a super shout-out. | ||
| Hoare, I knew you were a good man because your dad in England is a huge War Room fan. | ||
| Peter Hoare, huge shout-out. | ||
| You're a Brexiteer. | ||
| You're the backbone of the nation over there. | ||
| We love it. | ||
| We love the UK. | ||
| We just wish it would get sorted. | ||
| It's got this massive, they get a massive amnesty problem that even the weak Tories are now stepping up to. | ||
| But Peter Horrell, big shout out to you. | ||
| Your son is not too shabby. | ||
| Chris, tell me about the War Room specials we got, brother. | ||
| Do we have any more phones, first off? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, we've got a couple of phones left, maybe 100 phones left, Steve. | |
| The iSat phone 2 that are going to be free with activation, just $99 a month for 13 months. | ||
| But that's saving $1,500. | ||
| And we have, I think, about 200 bivvies left, free with activation on a two-year plan, just $55 a month. | ||
| And we can get these to you in time for Christmas, Steve. | ||
| And you can just go to sat123.com. | ||
| SAT123.com, SAT123.com, we'll call 941-841-0844 and we'll get them to you in time for Christmas Day. | ||
| People need this sat phone as definitely as a backup and maybe as your primary source of communication because nobody can listen in. | ||
| Uh... | ||
| We sold out the 500 last time. | ||
| You got 100 now. | ||
| This is the last we'll have before Christmas. | ||
| Plus, you got the bibis. | ||
| If you can't get the phone, you can get a bibi. | ||
| I want to walk through, where do they go to get the information of what it is? | ||
| Give me the site again. | ||
| Give me the call in number. | ||
| I want to make sure they fully understand what they're getting. | ||
| Once you understand it, you're going to buy it because the offer you've given is just incredible. | ||
| But where do people go, Chris Orr? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's at sat123.com or they can call us at 941-841-0844, Stephen. | |
| We're there 24-7. | ||
| us at 941-841-0844 Stephen. We're there 24-7. We'll take their order today and get it shipped out immediately so it'll be in time for Christmas. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Okay, I'm gonna make a bet like I did last time. | ||
| By the time we start the evening show, the hundred will be sold out. | ||
| I want everybody to get on this. | ||
| In fact, I'll make an announcement in the next hour or two. | ||
| Get on this. | ||
| This is the last hundred that the phones, digital phone store, the phone store has, satellite phone store has. | ||
| So make sure you get on it. | ||
| Chris, I'll check in with you later in the day. | ||
| And by the way, to Peter Hoare, your son didn't turn out too shabby. | ||
| So it must have been some good order. | ||
| I know it's some good order and discipline with you being raised. | ||
| Hoare, right now you're kind of, You're a little bit unregulated, right? | ||
| You're unsupervised. | ||
| We can't blame your dad for that. | ||
| Thank you, brother. | ||
| Everybody in our UK audience, we love you guys. | ||
| We want Nigel to get back into the game. | ||
| By the way, I've told Raheem a million times I need Raheem back over there. | ||
| Raheem could be prime minister one day. | ||
| I'm not kidding about that. | ||
| Raheem Kassam, if he rolled his sleeves up and got to work in the UK, Raheem Kassam could be the prime minister. | ||
| Deal baggage and all. | ||
| And Nigel Farage. | ||
| The country needs Nigel Farage. | ||
| There's no doubt. | ||
| You look at the disaster these Tories are in. | ||
| Now they're waking up to the fact, yeah, we've got to put our foot down. | ||
| I think in the last 24 hours this amnesty thing is getting out of control. | ||
| Certainly it's out of control. | ||
| You're a microcosm of here. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| I think we've got the author of the Red State article on the RNC. | ||
| She's going to join us. | ||
| We've got Natalie Winters and Naomi Wolf, a blockbuster story coming out about a report done by the House Republicans on the Wuhan lab, the COVID, CCP COVID virus. | ||
| This is all going to flow into exactly what Ron DeSantis is doing in Florida. | ||
| He's throwing down hard. | ||
| On the on on Big Pharma. | ||
| So we're going to get into all of that. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break and be a short one 90 seconds and we're going to be back the we're also going to go into more of the omnibus how we can stop it and what it means. | ||
| Here's what it means every day starting on January 3rd. | ||
| You have the leverage. | ||
| We can break them. | ||
| You can force these guys to the table. | ||
| You can force the Biden regime to the table. | ||
| To pass a one-year spending bill is full, total insanity, and it shows you the fixes in. | ||
| We need you to light up your senators. | ||
| Not one Republican senator should back Mitch McConnell. | ||
| These collaborationists, the only reason Biden's gotten anything done today. | ||
| Not just that, on top of all, it's massively, massively stimulus, and it will cause huge inflation. |
