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. | ||

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Baskin. | |
| Okay, welcome. Tuesday, 3 January, year of our Lord, 2023, and the year starting off with a bang historic 12-year feud coming to a head this afternoon between the Tea Party revolt, the populist revolt, the Trump movement, all of it against the cartel this It'll start with a vote for Kevin McCarthy. | ||
| They're over in conference right now trying to corner The conservatives or the right wing or whatever. | ||
| The cartel busters. | ||
| Let's say that. | ||
| The cartel busters. | ||
| So it's going to be quite intense. | ||
| A lot of this, by the way, this is also inextricably linked to the RNC chair vote. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're all part of a whole cloth, so to speak. | |
| And this gets back to the precinct committee strategy and the involvement of individuals. | ||
| Here's what's happening on Capitol Hill and the RNC. | ||
| They don't want your voice. | ||
| They don't want your opinion. | ||
| What they want is your money and your work. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Kind of like the government. | ||
| They want you to go to work, and they want you to pay your taxes, and they want you to shut up. | ||
| Send your sons and daughters to foreign battlefields. | ||
| Other than that, they just want you to shut up and be the proletariat that you are. | ||
| The same thing in politics, and that's why today's such a huge, massive day. | ||
| I've got Mike Davis on deck, hopefully MTG. | ||
| I will tell you, for the people who are trying to get, the conference looks like it's running And there are also sidebar meetings and side pocket meetings as people get ready for the 12 o'clock. | ||
| I want to go to Steve Stern. | ||
| Steve, you've been at the forefront of the precinct strategy in the grassroots movement. | ||
| You're firing off the football in 2023. | ||
| This is one of the reasons you're having this huge fight on Capitol Hill today between the populist conservatives and the cartel. | ||
| Walk us through your 2023. | ||
| What's your prospects of this? | ||
| What are you working on? | ||
| So first let me just say I'm starting my 69th year in business and you don't have too many people in that category. | ||
| So what I did was I gave most of the business to my son and I started working on the Republican Party and I went out with you and I met you over at AmericaFest and I started talking to a lot of people and a lot of people didn't know what the precinct strategy was. | ||
| So let me start off by saying that I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Dan Schultz. | ||
| Dan Schultz wrote the book and I want everybody to get the book on Go to Amazon, how to get involved. | ||
| Go to PrecinctStrategy.com. | ||
| Now, I went there last night just to re-look it over and see. | ||
| I think everybody should go there because we've got to get involved. | ||
| Now, what's happening in our projections? | ||
| When I was out in Turning Point, I worked with Tyler Boyer and, you know, he's got 400,000 kids available. | ||
| So, they are making a projection that they're going to get 5,000 new precinct People, committee men and committee women involved. | ||
| They've already got hundreds, and I'm working very closely with all their field reps, and they're going to put three or four people in Pennsylvania. | ||
| They're going after the states where we have the problem. | ||
| So, as you know, we're going to have a big Zoom here coming up next week, Tuesday, for two different Zooms. | ||
| One is going to be Precinct Strategy. | ||
| We welcome everybody. | ||
| We're going to have anywhere from 70 to 200 people on it at 8 o'clock Eastern time, and we're going to have a Election fraud prevention at 3.30. | ||
| We have 70 of the top people in the country that are going to be on that. | ||
| I don't want to mention all the names, but I'll give you a few of them. | ||
| We got Cause of America. | ||
| We're going to have Lyndell speaking, which is very terrific. | ||
| We have Center for American Election Integrity, Cause of America, the America Project, on and on. | ||
| So we have the top people coming in. | ||
| And why is that important? | ||
| Because we're going to come up with something that is going to be super phenomenal. | ||
| We're going to join forces, policing strategy and election prevention. | ||
| And what that really means is we're going to try to go to after every chairman that have two or three people appointed so we can have a national organization going on and we can get to the bottom of this. | ||
| So during these Zooms, we're going to come up with solutions because we all know what's going on out there. | ||
| So that's part of our great strategy for the new year. | ||
| Also, I'm working with General Flynn, General Bulldog, and Major Malloy and getting officers of the Army, Navy, Air Force, etc. | ||
| to start to work and get involved, get the veterans involved. | ||
| We want to get 30-40,000 veterans into our precinct committee people to try to help. | ||
| And how is that going to happen? | ||
| They know all the people. | ||
| Only thing I would recommend, we're going to have a clip from Dan Crenshaw here later. | ||
| I'm a veteran. | ||
| There are veterans and there are veterans. | ||
| There are a lot of veterans that are woke or part of the cartel. | ||
| And there's a particularly a lot of these young veterans today. | ||
| You gotta be, a lot of, and by the way, you can have your political beliefs, I got no beef with that whatsoever. | ||
| It's a free country, you serve your country, you can believe and work on what you want, but just being a veteran, it's not like in the old days, just being a veteran doesn't mean you're on the right at all. | ||
| I mean, it's the number of woke folks in the military. | ||
| I tell you what, hang on for a second, Steve, I want to bring in Mike Davis on this, who's got breaking news. | ||
| And by the way, Dan Crenshaw took a real shot at the right this morning about being chaotic and about not knowing how to govern and all that. | ||
| You're going to hear a lot of this. | ||
| I want to make sure you understand, particularly on Fox, When you're watching Fox, you're not watching Fox. | ||
| What you're watching is the Murdochs, okay? | ||
| The Murdochs have Paul Ryan on their board for a reason. | ||
| That reason is that they are the controlled opposition, and they are the Uniparty, and they're gonna put the Uniparty people up there, and what they're gonna do is sometimes they're gonna cover that in the patina of conservatism, as they can sit there and say, how chaotic this is, how terrible this is. | ||
| Listen. | ||
| If you want to take on the administrative state, if you want to take on the tech oligarchs, if you want to take on Larry Fink and the asset manager oligarchs on Wall Street, if you want to combat the Chinese Communist Party and all their influence in the United States, you know, what did Mao Zedong say? | ||
| A revolution is not a dinner party. | ||
| So this is not going to be a dinner party. | ||
| There's going to be some elbows thrown. | ||
| There's going to be some hurt feelings. | ||
| There's some hot talk. | ||
| Lauren Boeber just came out of the conference. | ||
| If we can get that up, Denver, I know you can't do it immediately. | ||
| She said, hey, I'm a no vote. | ||
| And she's not part of the five hard no's. | ||
| She's not part of the nine signatories of the House Freedom Caucus proposal. | ||
| She's one of these, what I call, I don't call them stragglers, but this kind of group of three, four, maybe five. | ||
| Her sat there and said, you know, I've watched everything. | ||
| I have a couple of red lines here. | ||
| McCarthy hasn't gotten there. | ||
| I want to bring in Mike Davis. | ||
| Mike, you're a fighter, right? | ||
| We know that. | ||
| But in this way, walk me through your experience on Capitol Hill with what your perspective is about this fight that's about to take place that, quite frankly, is 12 years longer than that, but definitely since the Tea Party revolt in 2010. | ||
| It's 12 years brewing between the populist movement, the American people, the little guy, versus the cartel, sir. | ||

Well I was an intern for House Speaker Newt Gingrich back in the fall of 1998 during the impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton and I remember pretty clearly that Speaker Gingrich was King of the Hill one day, and out the door the next. | |
| And so, things can change quickly on the Hill. | ||
| If you don't deliver as the Speaker, you shouldn't be the Speaker. | ||
| It is a very powerful position. | ||
| You essentially run- Hold on, hang on, hang on. | ||
| That part of history is amazing, because it's not the Ninety-Four Revolt. | ||
| I want you to go through, this is very important. | ||
| About 98, and they had all the issues about the impeachment. | ||
| But the 98 midterms didn't come out like they thought. | ||
| Walk us through what happened to Newt Gingrich, and then Livingston, his replacement. | ||
| All of a sudden, Newt Gingrich was the man, and then he wasn't. | ||
| Right? | ||
| Walk us through that, Mike Davis. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, what happened was that House Republicans should have picked up House seats in 1998. | |
| It was an off-year election with Bill Clinton as president. | ||
| It should have been a good year for Republicans. | ||
| And House Republicans ended up losing House seats that year. | ||
| And so it could have been for the impeachment. | ||
| I was all for the impeachment. | ||
| That's the office I worked in, was the Speaker's Policy Office, where they ran the impeachment. | ||
| But it turned out bad politically. | ||
| Speaker Gingrich, who I greatly respect, they turned on him very quickly, and then Livingston was the Speaker Designate, and then he had some personal issues come out, and then Dennis Hastert came out of nowhere and became the House Speaker. | ||
| What I would say about today's current House race is, look, we have a whole different world over the last three years. | ||
| Since 2020, When it's no longer the Liberal Democrat Party, it's the Marxist Left Democrat Party. | ||
| We saw this with BLM. | ||
| We saw this with Antifa. | ||
| We saw this with Covidians. | ||
| We now see it with gender chaos, with pronouns, and trying to groom kids in schools, and gender-affirming care. | ||
| This is a new world we're in, and we need to make sure our political leaders are but you know up to speed they're willing to fight in this new world and from what i've seen from kevin mccarthy he's not he's just not willing to be is a creature of washington he cares about keeping the lobbyist in washington happy he's been doing big text bidding for years uh... jeff miller his top lobbyist has taken millions of dollars from apple an amazon and now jeff miller's running it he's the | ||
| campaign manager for kevin mccarthy's let me know that they have the reason your city were to enter with gingrich you're also the clerk for course it should i think is that with the lito the two leading intellectuals now we have on the court that's that's driving the court Uh, to the right and basically to freedom and liberty. | ||
| So you know where this comes from. | ||
| You've also taken on the tech oligarchs. | ||
| You've been sitting there going, hey look, unless we get, this is not about 230, this is, we have to basically have a trust busting, almost like they had at the turn of the 20th century, to take these apart. | ||
| When, when Russ Vogt calls this a cartel, Do you buy that theory of the case, that you have an administrative state that has the things like the oligarchs in Silicon Valley, and basically have a piece of ownership of what goes on in Capitol Hill? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, absolutely. | |
| I mean, we've seen this vividly during COVID. | ||
| You know, it's between big tech, the pharmaceutical industry, the bureaucrats, like the Tony Fauci's and the Deborah Burke's, the bureaucrats, the CDC, absolutely. | ||
| We saw it Very personally, all of us did, how dangerous this is to our personal, individual liberties with these COVID lockdowns, with the censorship from big tech. | ||
| if you dared to question these COVID lockdowns, they censored doctors and scientists who questioned COVID measures. | ||
| And they censored these doctors who ended up being right. | ||
| And how many millions of people unnecessarily suffered, even died? | ||
| How many kids were kept out of school? | ||
| How many kids are years behind in school? | ||
| And look, these aren't the rich kids where their moms can afford to get them tutors and take care of them through homeschooling. | ||
| These are oftentimes the poor Hispanic and black kids who suffered the worst during COVID. | ||
| Democrats pretend like they care about minorities. | ||
| They don't. | ||
| They use them. | ||
| They use them every time to achieve their Marxist political ends. | ||
| And it's just, it's sickening. | ||
| And we need leaders who recognize this and have the backbone to stand up to it. | ||
| In this process, you've got three camps. | ||
| You've got the hard no's and they each have a different reason why they're a hard no. | ||
| You've got then the nine signatories of the counter-proposals to McCarthy and then you've got the Lauren Boverts and the others. | ||
| As you've seen the process, talk to us about the process. | ||
| Does the process and what they're proposing, not just shift it to the right, but are they informing this? | ||
| The opposition on the right in the MAGA movement, are they informing what's happening with all those issues of big tech, big money, the cartel? | ||
| What they've laid out as far as rules and content about debt ceiling and all this, is this what was needed to either break the cartel or at least to shift the entire conference to the right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| The Speaker is such an important job. | ||
| Look at what happens every year with the omnibus or other spending bills. | ||
| The Speaker goes into a backroom with the White House staff and the Senate leadership. | ||
| They negotiate some horrific backroom deal that blows apart spending, a spending spree. | ||
| And then he comes back to his conference and says, you have to vote for this, or the country's going to go off of a cliff, or something bad's going to happen. | ||
| So it's a process completely controlled by the Speaker of the House. | ||
| If we don't have a Speaker of the House who is red-filled and committed to our populist conservative agenda, that is a big miss. | ||
| And we don't need to have this big miss. | ||
| Why do we need Kevin McCarthy? | ||
| If he's not this... | ||
| Okay, let's say that has to go for a few extra hours today. | ||
| Big deal. | ||
| Or even a few extra days. | ||
| Big deal. | ||
| Remember, Kevin McCarthy says that we're not going to be able to pursue our oversight agenda if we don't elect a speaker today. | ||
| That's nonsense. | ||
| Remember, he hasn't even picked all the committee chairmen who would do the oversight because he's worried that he'll alienate or anger people who will vote against him if he doesn't pick them for committee slots. | ||
| These arguments are all disingenuous. | ||
| Elections matter. | ||
| We need to elect the right speaker today. | ||
| Or tomorrow, or the next day. | ||
| Mike, hang on for a minute. | ||
| We're going to go to a commercial break. | ||
| I got Mike Davis, we got Steve Stern. | ||
| We're going to try to get up some of the combatants in this as they step out. | ||
| Maybe take a couple of phone calls. | ||
| All next, where? | ||
| In the War Room. | ||
|

|
back in a moment welcome back Um... | |
| Kevin McCarthy, Kyle Cheney of Politico is reporting that Kevin McCarthy has just said he'd be very comfortable setting a record for most floor votes for Speaker. | ||
| You've got to go back to 1855 in the years leading up to the Civil War. | ||
| There were 100, as we've told you on here, 133 votes to finally get to a speaker and the members actually agreed to pick it by plurality. | ||
| A plurality just to get it done back then. | ||
| Very contentious. | ||
| Interesting enough, some of the same issues, particularly single issue on a bill, was one of the big issues of that time besides the other issues tearing the country apart. | ||
| Marjorie Taylor Greene now joins us. | ||
| Congressman Greene, you're fairly unique in that you are one of the leaders of the MAGA movement, and particularly in the House, where you've been a great voice, but you've been an ally of Kevin McCarthy in his speakership. | ||
| Now, as that expands, you've got the House Freedom Caucus with the nine people, with General Perry, Scott Perry putting this letter out, you got now Lauren Boebert, who I know is a close ally of yours, is now, she just said she's a no vote. | ||
| Jim Jordan, though, did just say Well, I think we're going to see. | ||
| I think there's still a few members that have their heels dug in and may not vote for him on the first ballot. | ||
| about to go to high noon in this historic vote, ma'am? | ||
| Well, I think we're going to see, I think there's still a few members that have their heels dug in and may not vote for him on the first ballot. | ||
| But let me explain it to you like this, Steve. | ||
| I'm the only Republican in the conference that has no committees being kicked off my committees early on. | ||
| I'm also very dedicated to the agenda. | ||
| You see, to me, Steve, it's not about a personality contest. | ||
| I don't care about who we elect for prom king. | ||
| What we need to do is we need to get a speaker in place. | ||
| Because here's the facts that the base has not been told by my friends who are opposing Kevin McCarthy. | ||
| We cannot fire any of Nancy Pelosi's employees in the Capitol. | ||
| I'm talking about sergeant at arms. | ||
| I'm talking about clerks at the desk. | ||
| I'm talking about very important employees in the House. | ||
| In the Capitol, they cannot be fired until we get a Republican speaker. | ||
| We can't even swear in as members of Congress. | ||
| We can't hold investigations. | ||
| We cannot pass bills. | ||
| We can do nothing without a speaker. | ||
| And this is what they have failed to explain. | ||
| Let me tell you something else. | ||
| We have the rules package. | ||
| The rules package is so good, I'm going to quote my friend Matt. | ||
| Matt said on our Sunday conference call that the rules package is an exquisite rules package that gives the people unprecedented weaponry. | ||
| That is a direct quote from Matt Gaetz. | ||
| So you can see that all the negotiations that we have all worked on very hard from the Freedom Caucus with leadership and getting this in place has worked, and it's satisfactory. | ||
| But here's the problem, Steve. | ||
| My friends in the Freedom Caucus and Matt and Lauren Boebert and others, They don't know how to make the art of the deal because they aren't willing to take the win when they have one. | ||
| They're making this about never Kevin and that is the wrong move because it's a failure to every single person that worked hard on Republican campaigns across the country. | ||
| People that knock doors for hours on end. | ||
| Grandmothers that pulled $5 that they didn't have out of their wallets and gave to candidates for them to win races. | ||
| This is about an agenda that we have brought forward, and it's an agenda I believe in. | ||
| I want to investigate Hunter Biden. | ||
| I want to investigate Joe Biden. | ||
| I want to investigate the FBI and the Department of Justice. | ||
| I want to investigate the D.C. | ||
| jail right here in Washington, D.C., that still has January 6th defendants rotting away in this jail. | ||
| I want to investigate the COVID-19 vaccines and I want to know why people are dropping dead suddenly. | ||
| Steve, we can't do any of this while my friends are sitting over there. | ||
| And guess what I found out? | ||
| We all found out in our conference meeting just then that three of them Three of them went in Kevin McCarthy's last night and were making personal demands for themselves. | ||
| Demanding subcommittee chairmanships, demanding gavels, basically for themselves. | ||
| Demanding who should be on committees and who shouldn't be on committees. | ||
| And these so-called friends of mine never demanded anything for me while I have zero committees. | ||
| I want you to know, Steve, I have not made any deal. | ||
| I have not asked anything for myself. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| Zero. | ||
| The only thing I'm doing is trying to get our Republican conference together and get moving to do the job that we promised the American people we would do. | ||
| And I am, I'm going to fight like you've never seen before until we can make that happen. | ||
| And I want the conservative base in this country to understand you can't always trust everyone when they're sitting there telling you, trust us. | ||
| We have a plan. | ||
| Well, let me tell you something right now, Steve. | ||
| There is no plan. | ||
| They have no plan. | ||
| There is no candidate that can win in our conference. | ||
| And I'm going to tell you as a true conservative myself, it is unfortunate that we cannot come up with a true conservative as speaker. | ||
| And I tell you why that can't happen. | ||
| It's because of the makeup of our conference. | ||
| Unfortunately, this is not the American people's vote. | ||
| And I say that unfortunately, because I wish it was. | ||
| Unfortunately, we have to pick a speaker based on every single member in our conference because we are like board members. | ||
| We are all the same. | ||
| We all have the same power. | ||
| We have a voting card. | ||
| And out of 222 of us, we have to come to 218. | ||
| And I'm coming forward and voting for Kevin McCarthy, and I'll tell you why. | ||
| Because of the agenda. | ||
| The agenda I just laid out. | ||
| And we're going after Biden. | ||
| We're going after Mayorkas. | ||
| We want our borders secure. | ||
| We are sick and tired of the invasion. | ||
| We want to audit Ukraine for the American people. | ||
| They deserve where their money is going, because I don't think any more money should go to Ukraine. | ||
| And they deserve accountability and transparency for this country. | ||
| And we can't do any of it, any of it, until people get on board and we move forward with the Speaker. | ||
| I think that's one of the issues is that is McCarthy really that if you look at the if you look at the proposal he put forward on Saturday in writing in his signature and quite frankly I was stunned that he did that. | ||
| It wasn't really it had some nice ideas but it was just like the commitment to America was very fuzzy and particularly on Ukraine and the issues you mentioned about what is really his commitment to this. | ||
| I don't think it's about The outline of what you just talked about, which is an agenda, the question is, is Kevin McCarthy the guy they actually are doing? | ||
| When you talk about the rules package, my understanding is they put forward a proposal, they would have, I think, you and three or four other members of conservatives actually on the rules committee to give, you know, to give the maggot Republicans essentially control, close control, and that was dismissed, that was dismissed out of hand. | ||
| No, I'm a member of Freedom Caucus, Steve. | ||
| I'm a member of Freedom Caucus. | ||
| And the group that is negotiating being called Freedom Caucus is not representing Freedom Caucus because we never took an official position. | ||
| And I also found out that no one went in there and negotiated anything for me, but I haven't asked for anything for myself. | ||
| You see, that's the difference, Steve. | ||
| I'm not in there demanding Marjorie, Marjorie, Marjorie. | ||
| I'm in there saying, for the American people, for the American people, for the American people. | ||
| And that pisses me off when we have other Republicans in there saying, trying to tell the base. | ||
| Let me remind you, Matt Gaetz His first vote in Congress was for Paul Ryan as Speaker. | ||
| And then he went on and cheerleaded Paul Ryan while I was at home, pissed off at Paul Ryan because he was failing President Trump and failing our MAGA agenda. | ||
| You know Chip Roy, who everybody's saying Chip Roy's conservative? | ||
| Chip Roy did not object on January 6th to Joe Biden's Electoral College votes. | ||
| No, he voted for Joe Biden's Electoral College votes. | ||
| And let me tell you something else. | ||
| Chip Roy, you know what else? | ||
| He set out the vote. | ||
| for the January 6th committee. | ||
| He did not vote against it. | ||
| He set it out because he was for it. | ||
| You want to know something else? | ||
| There's plenty of people with voting records. | ||
| Scott Perry, the chairman of our Freedom Caucus, before his general election, he would not vote against the gay marriage bill because he was scared how it was going to affect him in his general election. | ||
| I'm sorry, that is not courage. | ||
| That is fear. | ||
| And he was scared of election results, and he didn't do the right thing. | ||
| But when the bill came back around that he did not know it was going to do, none of us knew it was coming back. | ||
| After his election, he voted against it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
These are the same people that trust us. | |
| Trust us, we have a plan. | ||
| I'm sorry, you can't trust everyone. | ||
| The nine that sent the letter that responded to McCarthy, is there anything in the content of that letter? | ||
| You're saying they don't represent the Freedom Caucus, they're trying to spin that they represent the Freedom Caucus. | ||
| Is there anything in that letter and their back and forth with McCarthy you don't agree with? | ||
| The letter they sent with their nine signatures? | ||
| After they got everything they wanted and they said it's still not good enough? | ||
| Let me tell you about the motion to vacate, Steve. | ||
| Motion to vacate with five members of Congress? | ||
| They're proving that's the perfect number right now. | ||
| Because they're preemptively vacating the chair. | ||
| They're showing that five is the magic number. | ||
| Why go any lower? | ||
| Because they're capable of even blocking him from holding the gavel if they want to. | ||
| So five is the perfect number. | ||
| They got everything they wanted in the rules package. | ||
| They have gotten everything. | ||
| And you know what they're doing now? | ||
| They're walking in and saying, give me this chairmanship. | ||
| Give me this. | ||
| Give me that. | ||
| They are all about them. | ||
| They don't respect anyone else. | ||
| They don't respect me. | ||
| They don't respect anyone else. | ||
| They're making it about themselves. | ||
| And that is what I have a serious problem with. | ||
| Because we aren't elected to come here to be about ourselves. | ||
| We are elected to come here to represent the people. | ||
| And you better know, if you want to be successful in anything, you go in and you fight like hell for the deal you want. | ||
| Well, they did it. | ||
| And I'm proud of them for doing it. | ||
| Fought like hell for the deal that they wanted. | ||
| They got the deal and they're unwilling to take it. | ||
| How in the hell are we ever supposed to be successful if we cannot take A win when we have it and move forward and actually work for this country. | ||
| America is sick of the drama, Steve. | ||
| Sick and tired of the drama. | ||
| Do you have to leave for the house? | ||
| Can we hold you through a quick commercial break and bring you back? | ||
| Because we have other questions, obviously, for you. | ||
| Were names named? | ||
| Did they name names in the conference? | ||
| Did they name the three names that went to McCarthy and ask for individual deals? | ||
| Yeah, I know who the three are. | ||
| Would you be willing to share here on national television? | ||
| Yeah, I'm happy to talk about it. | ||
| Okay, hang on. | ||
| You're going to stick for a short commercial break. | ||
| I understand they're gathering over in the Capitol. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to return with Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a leader of the MAGA movement that has thrown in hard with Kevin McCarthy. | ||
| We also have Mike Davis with us. | ||
| We're going to jump back to Mike, but we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to get to Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is a, what did I say, very focused on this issue. | ||
| Marjorie Taylor Greene's mantra is take the win. | ||
| Take the win. | ||
| We're going to drill down on that in a minute and see if it actually is a win or if it's a false promise. | ||

All next in The World. | |
| I came into this position and we had less than 200 members. | ||
| We are now sitting in the majority. | ||
| We put forth to the American public a commitment to America. | ||
| There's times we're going to have to argue with our own members if they're looking at for only positions for themselves, not for the country. | ||
| For the last two months we worked together As a whole conference, develop rules that empower all members. | ||
| But we're not empowering certain members over others. | ||
| Last night I was presented the only way to have 218 votes if I provided certain members with certain positions, certain gavels, to take over the church committee, to have certain budgets. | ||
| And they even came to the position where one Matt Gates said, I don't care if we go to plurality and we elect Hakeem Jeffries and it hurts the new frontline members not to get re-elected. | ||
| Well, that's not about America, and I will always fight to put the American people first, not a few individuals that want something for themselves. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So we may have a battle on the floor, but the battle is for the conference and the country, and that's fine with me. | |
| Let me take it. | ||
| By the way, is that a misdirection play, Congressman Green, about these names, about people asking for it? | ||
| Because isn't this, at the end of the day, and the reason that, you know, so many of your Most ardent followers, particularly in the war room, are shocked every time you come up and pitch for Kevin McCarthy. | ||
| Isn't this the 12-year fight of the populace versus the cartel, and Kevin McCarthy just represents the worst elements of the cartel, ma'am? | ||
| Yeah, you know what, Steve? | ||
| Here, let me tell everyone. | ||
| You know what people might not like right now? | ||
| Is that I'm telling them the truth. | ||
| What do you want? | ||
| Do you want me to sit on your show and lie to everyone? | ||
| Because if that's what you want from Marjorie Taylor Greene, you are never going to get it. | ||
| I refuse to lie to anyone. | ||
| And simply right now, because the base doesn't like what I'm telling them, it doesn't mean that it's not the truth. | ||
| I'm telling you 100% the truth. | ||
| Because that is my job. | ||
| That's the only thing I want to do. | ||
| I want to rip it all wide open. | ||
| You know why I'm upset? | ||
| Because Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and Scott Perry, the chairman of the Freedom Caucus, walked in Kevin McCarthy's office last night and made their own personal demands for which subcommittee chairmanships they want to have, and who they want on committees, and who they want taken off committees. | ||
| And guess what? | ||
| The chairman of the Freedom Caucus negotiated nothing for me. | ||
| Nothing for me. | ||
| And I'll back this up even further. | ||
| I read text messages. | ||
| I read text messages from these people. | ||
| But hang on, but this wasn't personal. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hang on. | |
| Go ahead. | ||
| I really need to say this. | ||
| People need to understand that this is one vote. | ||
| Do you know where all the fights really are? | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| No, I really need to say this. | ||
| People need to understand that this is one vote. | ||
| Do you know where all the fights really are? | ||
| We have to get to 218 on every single bill we pass. | ||
| We have to get to 218 to actually make anything happen on the House floor. | ||
| And out of 222 members, that is practically impossible. | ||
| That's where my power is. | ||
| That's where every single conservative has power, is with our voting card. | ||
| And if anyone thinks that this is the hill to die on, they are absolutely wrong. | ||
| Because every single bill that we have to go in there, we have to fight for conservative principles. | ||
| We have to fight for America first on these bills. | ||
| And that is what I am dedicated to do. | ||
| It's not about the person we put in there as speaker. | ||
| It's about fighting for the right things for our country. | ||
| And that is exactly what I'm going to do, Steve. | ||
| I just want to make sure, but Gates, Perry, and Boebert on the meeting last night, if this is what was explained in the conference, weren't asking for themselves personally. | ||
| They had very specific recommendations on subcommittee chairs, committee chairs, etc. | ||
| But they were putting that forward in specific names, including people that would join you on the Rules Committee, very specific names that they felt would give a more... I've said I've put in my... Every single one of us, Steve, every member of Congress, We get to fill out a form and write on the form which committees we would like. | ||
| I just made my request like everyone else. | ||
| I didn't go in someone's office and get behind closed doors and demand this is what I want in order for me to vote for you. | ||
| I didn't do that. | ||
| Not at all. | ||
| I looked at an agenda and I've talked with many of our colleagues in our Republican conference and said, This is what we need to do. | ||
| This is what America needs. | ||
| We have to secure our border. | ||
| We have to hold the Biden administration accountable. | ||
| Look at what has happened on Twitter files. | ||
| That is unbelievable. | ||
| The FBI, the CIA, and God knows who else has been censoring Americans on social media. | ||
| And it goes way past Twitter. | ||
| It goes to Facebook, Instagram, and all other kinds of places, Google especially. | ||
| But think about this. | ||
| They're walking in there and making deals for themselves. | ||
| These are people that I have aligned myself with, but they have personally attacked me simply because I've said, let's do our jobs and not play a personality contest. | ||
| I'm sick and tired of the personality contest. | ||
| That's the Never Trump movement. | ||
| The Never Trump movement is simply against MAGA, against President Trump because they don't like him. | ||
| Enough of this. | ||
| I don't care who anybody likes and who they don't like. | ||
| We have a damn job to do. | ||
| That is why we are here. | ||
| We have a job to do. | ||
| And so, let me tell conservatives across the country something. | ||
| You better be careful when someone is saying, Trust us, we have a plan and they won't tell you what the plan is. | ||
| At least Kevin McCarthy has put out a plan extensively all over the media, all over his website and every single press conference he gives and every single interview he does. | ||
| At least we know the public plan and it's something that 222 Republican members Can get aligned behind and work our butts off to make it happen. | ||
| That's what we owe the American people because I know regular people at home, they're not working hard at work to pay their taxes for us to come up here and be mad and say, oh, I'm not voting for that person. | ||
| I just don't like him. | ||
| He gave me everything I asked for, but it's just not enough. | ||
| That is ridiculous. | ||
| We have a job to do and it's time to get to work. | ||
| Real quickly, because I know you get it. | ||
| When you say take the win, And you're telling Gates, and you're telling Boebert, and Perry, and the Freedom Caucus, and Chip Roy and these guys, take the win. | ||
| Be specific. | ||
| What do you mean by that? | ||
| What is the win that you're defining that is the real win here, and not some performative smoke and mirrors, ma'am? | ||
| The win is, to quote Matt Gates, the exquisite rules package. | ||
| That's what he called it. | ||
| That is what we have debated on for months now. | ||
| The rules package that has been put together, that we have talked about extensively, of returning Congress to the way it functions and making it work for the country, Matt Gaetz calls it an exquisite rules package. | ||
| That is what he called it on our conference call on Sunday. | ||
| Take it! | ||
| Take the win! | ||
| And I'm going to tell you something, Steve. | ||
| I'm not tired of winning. | ||
| I want to keep winning. | ||
| I feel like President Trump. | ||
| I want to keep going as long as possible. | ||
| Okay, that's the buzzer. | ||
| I'm heading down to the House floor right now. | ||
| Real quickly, how many votes are you prepared to tell McCarthy to sit there before you go back to conference? | ||
| When you're in McCarthy's ear, how many votes do you think you ought to be going on today? | ||
| He is not leaving. | ||
| He is not leaving. | ||
| It is unbelievable. | ||
| He just sit there and swore up and down to our entire conference. | ||
| He's not leaving, and neither is everybody else. | ||
| So it's time for my friends to take the win. | ||
| Let's do our jobs. | ||
| Okay, I'm out. | ||
| I gotta go. | ||
| Congressman Greene, thank you. | ||
| It's an honor to have you on here. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Mike Davis, I want to bring, I can tell you right now in the chats, who are Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene's, not just biggest fans, biggest supporters are, let's say they're not there yet. | ||
| They're not. | ||
| I think I can say they're not there yet. | ||
| They don't want to take the win. | ||
| Your assessment, sir, of what you just heard? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I have the greatest respect for Marjorie Taylor Greene. | |
| I'm one of her biggest fans. | ||
| I have been for a long time. | ||
| I just respectfully disagree with her on this. | ||
| If Kevin McCarthy is not elected speaker, which he should not be, there's not going to be huge disruption in the House. | ||
| We might have a few extra hours of votes if Kevin McCarthy wants to drag this out for a few extra days. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| What's going to happen? | ||
| After that, it is almost certainly Steve Scalise will become the speaker, and Tom Emmer and Elise Stefanik will move up and fill the spots. | ||
| It's not going to be a huge disruption. | ||
| This is, you know... You think Steve... Well, hold on. | ||
| That's a bombshell. | ||
| You think Steve... Well, hold on. | ||
| Before I get to that, when he talks, she talks about the win and defines it as a rules package, or the memos you've seen going back and forth. | ||
| Do you, are you buying any of that? | ||
| Or you think that she's bit on something that's essentially a misdirection play, sir? | ||
| Is her definition of a win, what she believes is a win, and she, by the way, she's shown courage in what she believes are her convictions. | ||
| I know a lot of our audience, 90% of them, maybe 95% thinks it's wrong. | ||
| They agree with you, but do you think even what she just defined is actually a win? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No. | |
| I mean, it's very swampy, it's very D.C., it's very inside the Beltway. | ||
| It might be a win if you're a nerd working on a committee in the House, right? | ||
| But step back. | ||
| How is that a win for the American people? | ||
| That you can file a motion to vacate the chair with five votes? | ||
| Like, who gives a damn, right? | ||
| So let's look at Kevin McCarthy's record over the last three years on big tech. | ||
| Where has he been? | ||
| Where has he been in big tech? | ||
| is censoring, silencing, deplatforming, cancelling conservatives including President Trump, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, including me. | ||
| Where the hell was Kevin McCarthy? | ||
| You know where Kevin McCarthy was? | ||
| He was taking big tech's money and Jeff Miller, his top advisor, his top lobbyist, was taking millions of dollars from Apple and Amazon. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's all you need to know. | |
| Hold it. | ||
| We did a poll of this audience over War Room and I think two-thirds of the audience voted for Jim Jordan to be the replacement. | ||
| Jim Jordan is kind of the beau idol of the conservative right as an attacker. | ||
| Is Jim Jordan not worse than Kevin McCarthy? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I mean, he is, but either one of them would be terrible as speaker because they're too beholden to big tech. | |
| Let me just settle this for everyone. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy can send out his surrogates to make these emotional attacks, these personal attacks. | ||
| At the end of the day, he's not going to be the speaker. | ||
| So what is the realistic alternative? | ||
| You know, Steve Scalise, I'm not being paid by Steve Scalise or his champion. | ||
| I've never even spoken with him, but he is almost certainly going to be the next speaker. | ||
| And so people just need to get their heads wrapped around that. | ||
| It's not going to slow down the House oversight agenda because, again, Kevin McCarthy has not even picked the chairman who are going to take over every committee in the House. | ||
| So they haven't staffed up. | ||
| So to say that if they don't vote for Kevin McCarthy at noon, it's going to slow down the oversight agenda is completely disingenuous. | ||
| They don't even have committee chairman picked or committee staff hired. | ||
| Why would you say, because this is kind of the Republican, the next guy, the next guy in line steps up. | ||
| Why are you telling people if it's not McCarthy it will be Scalise will step up, Emmers will go from whip to, what, conference chair, and what, Stefanik will be whip? | ||
| You're saying they're all ratchet up? | ||
| Why do you say that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't know. | |
| Scalise will become Speaker if McCarthy doesn't get the Speaker slot. | ||
| McCarthy's not going to get the Speaker slot, obviously. | ||
| There's too many people who are holding out. | ||
| I saw this with Newt Gingrich back in 1998. | ||
| I don't know if Emmers will stay in the whip position and Elise will take the Majority Leader or vice versa, but that's what's going to happen. | ||
| And everything's going to be fine, they're going to continue their oversight agenda, and you won't have a Speaker of the House who is beholden to big tech and whose top advisors... But hang on, isn't that just, but for all this fight, all this sturm und drang, isn't that just, particularly with Scalise and Emmers, isn't that more just the cartel? | ||
| Won't the cartel have won then? | ||
| What will be the victory? | ||
| I don't know about Emmers, but I know that Scalise is a lot more gettable and a lot more conservative on the issues that we care about in the War Room Posse, like Big Tech. | ||
|
unidentified
|
than Kevin McCarthy is. | |
| Kevin McCarthy doesn't, I don't know if he has a guiding principle or a conservative bone in his body other than he wants to be Speaker at all costs. | ||
| We heard Marjorie Taylor Greene say that he'll go vote after vote after vote after vote. | ||
| Well that, that means that he's making this about himself instead of about the House Republican Conference and the conservative agenda. | ||
| This is about winning the Speakership at all costs rather than what's better, what's best for the House Republican Caucus and for the American people more broadly. | ||
| Mike, how can people follow your coordinates on social media and your website today, particularly? | ||

| We'll look to have you back on this afternoon. | ||

| Real quick, I want to go to Dr. Ryan Cole. | ||
| We've had him on the show many times before. | ||
| Dr. Cole, we only got a couple minutes. | ||
| We'll have you back on this afternoon and tomorrow. | ||
| Demar Hamlin's situation. | ||
| A lot of people are saying, hey, this is all Vax related. | ||
| We had Maria Ryan on here saying, hey, it's sudden death syndrome and maybe, was it commotio, cortis? | ||
| Give me a couple minutes. | ||
| What's your analysis of what happened? | ||
|
unidentified
|
The honest answer is, God bless him. | |
| Let's hope he pulls through. | ||
| There's plenty of speculation. | ||
| At this point, we don't know. | ||
| Obviously, he took a hit. | ||
| There have always been heavy hits in the NFL. | ||
| A direct hit to the heart when it's in just the wrong beat can cause the rhythm of the heart to go into a quiver and cause all of a sudden the heart not to beat correctly and then induce a heart attack and a patient or individual athlete will collapse. | ||
| His fall is very similar to others that we've seen across the world. | ||
| professional athletes who have died suddenly. Thankfully he's still alive and in critical condition and you know kudos to those amazing first responders who were able to get a rhythm back to his heart. The honest answer is that at this point we don't know and would it be contributory? Well we would have to know how recent his most injection was. We do know their myocarditis rates up to 2.3% | ||
| out of the Thailand study, 2.8% out of this recent Dr. | ||
| Mueller Switzerland study. So it could be a contributory factor but the honest answer is we don't know. | ||
| know. | ||
| Dr. Cole, we'll have you back on. | ||
| How do people, your social media, so people can follow you in this conversation because this is one of the things, Charlie Kirk got lit up last night even mentioning it was the vaccine. | ||
| How can people follow you today before we get you back on and have more time to explore this? | ||
|

|
Sure, on Twitter at drcole, the number 12, and then my website is rcolemd.com. | |
| So those are the two spaces I'll be commenting. | ||
| My producer will reach out right now. | ||
| We'll make sure we hook you up for this afternoon. | ||
| Dr. Cole, thank you for carving out time for us today. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you, Steve. | |
| This is going to be a huge story about the Buffalo Bill's safety, Damar Hamlin, and we're going to make sure we drill down on it this afternoon. | ||
| McCulloch, we're going to have Dr. Cole back also tomorrow. | ||
| Let me go to Ana Paulina Luna's office. | ||
| Captain Bannon joins us. | ||
| Captain Bannon, I know you're there for her ceremony, but she's said some things today. | ||
| Give us an update on what's going on, ma'am. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Um, I, it is very, very, um, great in this office today and in the building and very momentous day. | |
| However, it is going to be a wild ride and the pressure game will still continue. | ||
| And those constituents or those, uh, congressmen and congressmen elect that will be sworn in today that are holding out that are voting now or doing so for their constituents. | ||
| So I respectfully disagree with MTG saying that it. | ||
| They're thinking of only themselves. | ||
| They are not. | ||
| They are thinking of their constituents back home in those home states. | ||
| Real quickly, Ana Paulina Luna has been a big ally of MTG, as Bobert and Gates have been. | ||
| Any thoughts of anything she said today? | ||
| I know she's responding to her constituents, particularly after Fox having Newt Gingrich and Karl Rove and other establishment types bombard people. | ||
| You say that Ana Paulina, all these people are the worst people in the world, the kamikazes, I think they call them, the kamikazes. | ||
| What's your assessment of that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I respectfully disagree with what they said about her. | |
| He is a great person. | ||
| She will be a great Congressman as of today. | ||
| And she is doing exactly what her constituents want her to do. | ||
| They do not want Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. | ||
| And she is going to respect what her constituents say. | ||
| Those people that voted her into office. | ||
| Those people that got out, grassroots campaigned for her, and got her elected. | ||
| She is going to respect what they want. | ||
| Not, you know, a decision based off of feelings. | ||
| It is what her constituents want. | ||
| Mo, you're up on Capitol Hill in the thick of it. | ||
| What's your coordinates? | ||
| How do people track you down throughout the day? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can find me on Getter and Twitter at Maureen underscore Bannon and also on Instagram at RealMaureenBannon. | |
| Okay, we're going to check in throughout the day. | ||
| By the way, Charlie Kirk's going to follow us here on Real America's Voice. | ||
| Historic day about to come up. | ||
| You just saw MTG passionately, you know, fighting for Kevin McCarthy. | ||
| Let's be honest, she's thrown in hard. | ||
| And I understand that I think the audience right now is probably 99 to 1% against this and are not buying the arguments, but she's thrown in hard as she's a fighter. | ||
| And she was there when you heard the bell go. | ||
| We're going to be on Getter. | ||
| Charlie Kirk's going to pick this up live. | ||
| It's going to be intense. | ||
| McCarthy said he's not going to go back in conference. | ||
| In fact, what I heard is that he said, hey, if we take the first vote and they try to force us back into conference, I'm not going to allow it. | ||
| But if I go into conference, what I heard from people that were close to the situation, he would actually resign from Congress before he did that because he understood he'd get bled out. | ||
| in a closed-door conference. | ||
| They're going to stand on the floor and fight this throughout the day. | ||
| He has said, he has told people that if he has to break the record, 133 votes, they're going to stick around and have 133 votes, okay? | ||
| We're going to be up on Getter non-stop. | ||
| I want to make sure you stick around for the Charlie Kirk show. | ||
| We're going to be back here from 5 to 7. | ||
| It's a historic day, and this is a day, remember, at the end of it, this is about you. | ||
| This fight has been 12 years in brewing, okay? | ||
| This is all about you. | ||
| You've got pretty good representation. | ||
| In fact, when we started talking about this six, eight weeks ago, people were laughing. | ||
| Said, this is ridiculous. | ||
| This is another pipe dream. | ||
| It will never happen. | ||
| But right now, you're going to see votes go on for the speakership that are going to be incredibly intense. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| I want everybody to get up on Getter and follow us nonstop. | ||
| I want to make sure we thank Mike Davis, Steve Stern, everybody for pitching in today. | ||
| We're going to be run and gun this afternoon from five o'clock. | ||
| We're going to have a A host of people up here. | ||
| We're also going to be drilling down on the tragic situation with Damar Hamlin to get to the bottom of exactly what happened. | ||
| I want to thank everybody. | ||
| Stick around. | ||
| The great Charlie Kirk. | ||
| Charlie Kirk being lit up all over, being dragged all over the internet just for putting forward what should be thought about in the Hamlin situation. | ||
