What that tells me is that they were expecting a third present vote. | |
| Correct. | ||
| And that did not materialize. | ||
| So one of the other four should be the focus here because one of the other four clearly had indicated for the McCarthy team that they were willing to vote present, which would have handed him the gavel. | ||
| All right, Erin, we have a game of Clue here. | ||
| Was it Congressman Rosendale in the House chamber with a false promise? | ||
| Back to you. | ||
| A night of treachery and an image of what happened. | ||
| All right, just to give some context to this, that moment on the floor, I want to show everybody the video, when you saw Mike Rogers of Alabama appearing to have to be physically restrained. | ||
| There's a pull back. | ||
| Right on the face. | ||
| Somebody grabbed him. | ||
| Physically restrained. | ||
| Watch his face. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| As Kevin McCarthy is stonily walking away. | ||
| Just to Scott, you said this is treachery. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Well, first of all, I'd like to thank all of our viewers for watching CNN's exclusive screening of Snakes on a Plane Part 2. | ||
| I've never seen the amount of treachery, not since 1856 when Preston Brooks came to Charles Sumner have we seen this kind of treachery under the Capitol Dome. | ||
| This is... Was that on C-SPAN? | ||
| This is crazy. | ||
| And they hadn't passed a rules package, so we're looking at the camera angles. | ||
| This is absolutely... | ||
| High drama, crazy stuff. | ||
| I can't imagine how McCarthy and McHenry, who I was heaping praise upon earlier for their, you know, skills today, how must they be feeling? | ||
| But as you're saying, somebody lied to them. | ||
| Somebody lied. | ||
| I want to make a point about this. | ||
| Right when it happened, people were telling me it was Rosendale who committed the first act of treachery, but now... Because he was supposed to vote President. | ||
| It looks like maybe they were all in it together. | ||
| But I also want to make clear that we will never Compromise our principles. | ||
| House Democrats will always put American values over autocracy. | ||
| Benevolence over bigotry. | ||
| The Constitution over the cult. | ||
| Democracy over demagogues. | ||
| Economic opportunity over extremism. | ||
| Freedom over fascism. | ||
| Governing over gaslighting. | ||
| Hopefulness over hatred. | ||
| Inclusion over isolation. | ||
| Justice over judicial overreach. | ||
| Knowledge over kangaroo courts. | ||
| Liberty over limitation. | ||
| Maturity over Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| Normalcy Over negativity. | ||
| Opportunity over obstruction. | ||
| People over politics. | ||
| Quality of life issues over QAnon. | ||
| Reason over racism. | ||
| Substance over slander. | ||
| Triumph over tyranny. | ||
| Understanding over ugliness. | ||
| Voting rights over voter suppression. | ||
| Working families over the well-connected. | ||
| over xenophobia, yes we can, over you can't do it, and zealous representation over zero-sum confrontation. | ||
| That you take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that you will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which you're about to enter. | ||
| So help you God? | ||
| Yes, I do. | ||
| Congratulations and Godspeed. | ||
| According President, the Chair will sw- I know the night is late but when we come back our very first bill | ||
| will appeal the funding for eighty seven thousand new I.S. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| You see, we believe government should be to help you, not go after you. | ||
| We're going to pass bills to fix the nation's errant challenges. | ||
| From wide-open southern borders, to American last energy policies, to woke indoctrination in our schools. | ||
| We'll also address America's long-term challenges. | ||
| The debt And the rise of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Congress must speak with one voice on both of these issues. | ||
| There is nothing more important than making it possible for American families to live and enjoy the lives they deserve. | ||
| That is why we commit to stop wasteful Washington spending, to lower the price of groceries, gas, cars, housing, and stop the rising national debt. | ||
| But I do want to especially thank President Trump. | ||
| I don't think anybody should doubt his influence. | ||
| He was with me from the beginning. | ||
| Somebody wrote the doubt of whether he was there, and he was all in. | ||
| He would call me, and he would call others. | ||
| And he really was, I was just talking to him tonight, helping get those final votes. | ||
| What he's really saying, really, for the party and the country, that we have to come together. | ||
| We have to focus on the economy. | ||
| We've got to focus to make our borders secure. | ||
| We gotta do so much work to do and he was a great influence to make that all happen. | ||
| And so, thank you, President Trump. | ||
| It was a victory. It was a hard-fought one. It was a contentious one at moments, Charlie. | ||
| A source did tell CNN that Republican Congressman Mike Rogers, he told Matt Gaetz that Gaetz was going to be finished for continuing to wreck the speaker's vote and really forcing it to go so many rounds. | ||
| Now, McCarthy has tried to spin this division that we saw on full display, as he said, now we've learned how to govern. | ||
| But Charlie, what do you think this means for passing legislation, actually getting stuff done? | ||
| Why the American people sent these people to Congress when Republicans have such a tiny majority? | ||
| Oh, why? | ||
| Governing, it's going to get much harder now. | ||
| The Speaker's vote, is usually the easiest vote of the Congress. | ||
| It really is. | ||
| And we just saw what happened. | ||
| This turned out to be one of the hardest votes of the Congress. | ||
| But the legislature, it's going to become even more difficult. | ||
| Because some of the concessions that Speaker McCarthy had to make to get the job, such as adding a few Freedom Caucus members to the Rules Committee? | ||
| Well, good luck getting those bills to the floor. | ||
| That's a key committee. | ||
| Most of the public doesn't understand what goes on in that committee. | ||
| But that's essential. | ||
| Give those folks a seat at that table. | ||
| That's a big mistake. | ||
| There are other mistakes that they've made here, too. | ||
| As Alice pointed out, the motion to vacate the chair, it just empowered these guys. | ||
| For example, OK, I love the idea of passing appropriations bills individually, and the House should do that. | ||
| The problem you have is the United States Senate. | ||
| They don't pass bills individually, and you will end up with yet another omnibus. | ||
| So while Speaker McCarthy made those concessions, it's almost as if they pretended the United States Senate doesn't exist. | ||
| suggestions that they were going to cap defense spending. | ||
| Well, hello, you know, the Armed Services Committee, the Appropriations Committee, the Senate, they're all going to have a say on this matter. | ||
| How can those types of concessions be made to a group, you know, of this chaos caucus? | ||
| I mean, it's almost as if it's easier, it's almost better to be an opponent to the speaker than to be an ally, because look what these guys have extracted out of him. | ||
| I mean, I really think this is going to get much harder to govern. | ||
| And then there's the debt ceiling. | ||
| We haven't even talked about it. | ||
| Wait until that comes around. | ||
| How are they going to be able to pass a debt ceiling? | ||
| They said there have to be spending cuts tied to it. | ||
| Well, again, hello. | ||
| The Senate's going to be involved. | ||
| The president's going to be involved. | ||
| And they're going to have to renege on that concession. | ||
| They're going to have to renege on that concession. | ||
| They're already taking stuff back. | ||
| It's Saturday, 7 January in the year of our Lord 2023, a night, if you didn't stay up for it, I want to thank Grace Chung and Captain Bannon for running the live stream last night. | ||
| I was working on the side to make sure that we could try to take a last stand and try to stop this, the cartel. | ||
| But a huge audience last night on our live stream and I really want to thank everybody, I think 25,000 people. | ||
| A night of high drama and low comedy. | ||
| Right. | ||
| We had it right there was going to go was a motion to adjourn. | ||
| It's going to take it to Monday, be able to work on the the 14 because the package is not completely done yet. | ||
| But then, you know, you had fistfights or quasi fistfights and broke out and a little bit of chaos on the floor, but organized chaos and then a reversal. | ||
| And everybody voted. | ||
| President McCarthy is the speaker. | ||
| I want to bring in Mike Davis but right there even and we want to do that cold open you see kind of the arc of the evening in particular two things is I wanted to make sure everybody and if you hadn't we'll put up Hakeem Jeffries I don't even know. | ||
| Nancy Pelosi turned the gavel over to him so she didn't have to have the photo op, but I don't even understand why they let him have a 10 or 12 minute speech. | ||
| Seemed like it went on forever. | ||
| As radical as you could possibly get. | ||
| So you see what we're up against. | ||
| And that doesn't even talk about the cartel on our side of the football. | ||
| But a ton of extractions, historical in nature, on a short lease. | ||
| Now it has to be executed. | ||
| Mike Davis, I know that you were one that said, hey, you got to take McCarthy out because he represents the worst of, you know, and I want to stop calling it the swamp, the cartel, right? | ||
| The cartel head. | ||
| But you saw right there, he gave thanks to President Trump at the end. | ||
| President Trump definitely whipped a vote at the very end where the things got the nastiest, I would think, right after the 14th vote. | ||
| They took the 14th vote. | ||
| We won again. | ||
| We're going to go a motion to adjourn. | ||
| Put up by them, by the Republicans, by McHenry. | ||
| We were going to win that vote and adjourn until noon on Monday, and then all of a sudden it got reversed. | ||
| We came back and everybody voted present and on the 15th ballot. | ||
| Mike, how do you make this work? | ||
| You've been one of the most adamant in, because you deal with these guys. | ||
| You particularly, you focused on something that's to the heart of it. | ||
| It's the heart of the investigations, but it's the heart of what has to change. | ||
| Because it is the operational arm of the oligarch. | ||
| It's the cartels and the apparatuses functioning operating arm in a high-tech society, and that's big tech. | ||
| So first off, you sent out something on Gitter I thought was amazing. | ||
| How would Mike Davis Given that we, and I keep telling people, this is round one, because every day, every day, every day, McCarthy, because of the concessions, and now, and that's why I put these stories up in Getter on the Hill, people are just now understanding, particularly professionals, of what actually was given up last night so he could secure the speakership. | ||
| Mike Davis. | ||
| Yeah, I mean, Kevin McCarthy is Matt Gaetz's steer. | ||
| Gaetz castrated McCarthy. | ||
| And Gates can send McCarthy the Butcher anytime. | ||
| So that's where we are. | ||
| Explain that to people, because I don't understand that people fully understand the heroic nature of what Gates and what I would call the six for America at the end. | ||
| The other 14 also, because they stood for a while and then went and cut a package that's quite revolutionary. | ||
| But the six, the hardcore six, When you say that, walk us through what that means from a technical point of view. | ||
| I get the analogy, but what does that mean that he got him and now he and the others can drive this agenda? | ||
| I mean, everyone assumes that Kevin McCarthy would have a glide path to the speakership. | ||
| The establishment Republicans just do not understand how much conservatives Do not trust Kevin McCarthy. | ||
| We will never trust him. | ||
| He has never earned our trust. | ||
| He never will earn our trust. | ||
| His guiding principle is Kevin McCarthy. | ||
| So these 20 conservatives knew that they had to try to stop Kevin McCarthy at all costs. | ||
| And if they couldn't stop him, if they were just overwhelmed with the House Republican conference and physical threats of force, they knew that they had to get a rules package that | ||
| That essentially took away all of his powers and made it where he's a figurehead speaker I'm the speaker the speakership is a is a very very powerful position I learned that early on I interned for Newt Gingrich when he was the speaker when he went down as speaker under these similar circumstances and so these 20 people are very brave and | ||
| Very courageous, very fearless members of the House because the retributions that they could face are just astronomical. | ||
| But they forced Kevin McCarthy to put Freedom Caucus people, I think it's three Freedom Caucus people on the House Rules Committee. | ||
| The House Rules Committee decides, I mean it's a very, very, very powerful gatekeeping committee that's almost always, it is always controlled by the Speaker. | ||
| Now it's, there is a good amount of control for the House Freedom Caucus on the steering committee where They get to decide what rules are on each piece of legislation, if it's an open rule or a closed rule. | ||
| Meaning, can people offer amendments or not? | ||
| Is it going to be shoved down their throats or will there be amendments? | ||
| Mike, I know you've got to bounce from playing. | ||
| Just hang for this short commercial break because I want to get your thoughts on this. | ||
| There was a package, a big reform package that got passed to make sure that this is kept on a short leash. | ||
| Now it's all about the execution of it. | ||
| Very intense. | ||
| Tension is still there. | ||
| Not going away. | ||
| What do you say? | ||
| I have trust issues? | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||

We rejoice with her no more, let's take down the CCD! | |
| Day of our life were too long! | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Back. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| MyPillow.com, we still have the 80% inventory clearance and of course we got the buy one get one free sales on many, many, many other products. | ||
| Make sure you got the robes, you got the thick robes, you got the light robes, you got the slippers, you got the moccasins, you got everything for your winter needs to keep you warm in the sleep of the sleep of the just. | ||
| Make sure you go to MyPillow.com promo code war room. | ||
| It's going to be a tough year. | ||
| 2023 is already the first couple of days. | ||
| Absolute grind. | ||
| It's not going to get any easier. | ||
| The easiest day was yesterday. | ||
| Okay, make sure you go to MyPillow.com promo code war room. | ||
| That's our promo code and our square. | ||
| When you go there, you'll see everything. | ||
| Go check it out today. | ||
| Mike, I know you got a bounce for playing. | ||
| I appreciate you doing this. | ||
| For those of the disheartened that were kind of in your camp, hey, he's got to go. | ||
| He's there under incredible restrictions that it's just now dawning on people what these restrictions are. | ||
| Give me two minutes on the Mike Davis path forward. | ||
| Well, we need to move forward aggressively with oversight, and that includes the Church Commission that the House Republicans are setting up to investigate the weaponization of the FBI and the intel community. | ||
| Big Tech is a big part of that because there is very clear evidence that the FBI intel agencies are colluding with Big Tech to censor Americans, which is a clear First Amendment violation. | ||
| There's the China investigation, which is Maybe one of the most important investigations about how China has way too much influence in the United States, including big tech and how we are going to push back and be able to defeat China economically before they crush us as a superpower. | ||
| And then the third thing that is so important, Steve, is House Republicans. | ||
| They've been sitting on the sidelines for three years now on holding big tech accountable by updating and enforcing Our century-old antitrust laws. | ||
| They were saying they didn't want Nancy Pelosi. | ||
| to write these antitrust laws. | ||
| It is now time for Jim Jordan and Kevin McCarthy to put up the House Republicans' plan. | ||
| It's time to put up or shut up. | ||
| They need to come forward with a plan. | ||
| If Nancy Pelosi's plan isn't good enough, they need to come up with their own plan so we can get this done. | ||
| There needs to be a bipartisan coalition to update and enforce our century-old antitrust laws and break up big tech. | ||
| Listen, before I let you go, you were there as an intern in Gingrich's. | ||
| You clerked for Gorsuch. | ||
| You've been a key guy to get, when I was in the White House, to get these guys on the Supreme Court. | ||
| Your analogy at the beginning. | ||
| What is the House Freedom Caucus? | ||
| Because now it's dawning on them. | ||
| We've never had a seat on the Rules Committee, and now we've got three seats. | ||
| It's starting to dawn on people this morning what McCarthy, the Hill's lead story, is what McCarthy gave away, which is essentially everything he had to. | ||
| He just kept giving and giving and giving. | ||
| Now we've got to take it and make sure we actually get it. | ||
| How tight on the reins the gates in the 6-4 America have to be on McCarthy and his clique? | ||
| They absolutely have to hold him accountable. | ||
| They need to be fair about it. | ||
| They need to understand that he has a tough job. | ||
| But they absolutely need to hold him accountable for his promises. | ||
| His promises he made about the rules package, that didn't get passed last night. | ||
| That's supposedly going to get passed on Monday. | ||
| That has to get passed. | ||
| They need to stick to their guns on the commitment for America. | ||
| They need to hold Big Tech accountable. | ||
| They need to hold the FBI accountable. | ||
| They need to hold China accountable. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy gave away his shirt. | ||
| His socks, his pants, his underwear, the speaker has no clothes, right? | ||
| And so, they need to make sure that Kevin McCarthy, who has a tendency to do the bidding of corporate interest, actually sticks to the conservative agenda. | ||
| And with this rules package, I think they can make him. | ||
| Mike, real quickly, how do people get your social media, because you're up non-stop, and how do they get to your site? | ||
| Article3project.org, articlenumber3project.org, at articlenumber3project, at article3project on Gitter, Twitter, Truth. | ||
| My personal is MRDDMIA. | ||
| MRDDMIA. | ||
| And thank you, Steve, you are instrumental in all of this behind the scenes with Matt Gaetz and others, and the whole room possibly needs to hear this. | ||
| Well no, we gotta, look, we live to fight another day. | ||
| We had it right in our grasp and it slipped away, but hey, you gotta fight another day. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can't control, you can control what you can control and you can't control what you can't control, right? | |
| We're gonna turn lemons into lemonade, Steve. | ||
| Yeah, no, no, no. | ||
| Listen, the package itself, if it's executed, people, we've been fighting this for 12, I've been fighting this for 12 years now since the Tea Party Revolt. | ||
| You've been at it since Gingrich. | ||
| The cartel's powerful. | ||
| It's very powerful. | ||
| It's massive money, corporate interests, and they're playing for keeps. | ||
| And, you know, to know that the last five days on national TV, to bring this stuff up and to get it now, it's all about, and I realize some people are bitterly disappointed, and, you know, you got a right to be, because we had it, we had it right there, and you were the tip of the spear. | ||
| Mike, thank you so much. | ||
| I know you got to bounce for a plane. | ||
| See you in DC, sir. | ||
| Um, let me bring in Darren Beattie. | ||
| Darren, um, there's so many things that have happened that are just tied to the Revolver reporting. | ||
| You know, at January 6th, we have, you know, Ashley Babbitt's mom. | ||
| There's so much I want to get to, but I got to get to, because I want to make sure you and I have called for I think starting a couple of years ago, this thing called the Church Commission. | ||
| And the reason that we're making a big deal about it is that this is an investigation that gets you into the heart of the administrative state, into the FBI, the DOJ, whatever. | ||
| And I know Gaffney's going to be on later. | ||
| It also gets down to the big tech part of it. | ||
| You're going to see the CCP part of it. | ||
| Tom Massey was on Tucker last night. | ||
| It looks like they say he's going to chair it. | ||
| He was kind of humble. | ||
| He says, hey, I'm going to be on it. | ||
| Don't know if I'm going to chair it. | ||
| How much is this going to tie to the reporting you've done of the administrative state and what it's done to kind of crush American freedom and why this is so important? | ||
| In fact, quite frankly, out of McCarthy's mouth last night, he said, with the Speaker's gavel in his hand, we're going to go investigate Well, it's potentially a huge deal. | ||
| not going to be weaponized against the American people anymore, or the FBI. | ||
| That is extraordinary and stunning. | ||
| And by the way, the mainstream media was like taken back. | ||
| What did he just say? | ||
| How big a deal is this, sir? | ||
| Well, it's potentially a huge deal. | ||
| And by the way, this has the imprimatur of the big guy himself, not the bad big guy, the good big guy, Donald Trump, who told me that he supports a church-style committee. | ||
| So this, Trump has his full rubber stamp of approval. | ||
| McCarthy's allegedly on board. | ||
| And I think of all the people that could be chosen, Nassie would be one of the best. | ||
| But of course, it all comes down to the details. | ||
| It all comes down to the implementation. | ||
| You and I, I think it's fair to say, have led the charge from the beginning, calling for this kind of church-style committee. | ||
| Now it's, I think, a minor victory in its own right that it's simply part of the national conversation. | ||
| But the next step is to get down to the details, down to the execution. | ||
| The devil's in the execution here, and I'm doing a very detailed study of the church committee itself. | ||
| And with a view toward what lessons we can learn, how it needs to be implemented, to what degree is our situation right now similar? | ||
| What degree is it different? | ||
| And how does that condition what the most effective approach would be going forward? | ||
| How, in Revolver, you've been the platform of this kind of, not just anti-establishment, but kind of, you know, leading the revolt against the drift of this country. | ||
| How do you see this whole thing? | ||
| How do you see last night playing out, and particularly these different committees, the rules, etc.? | ||
| Do you believe that there's enough will, enough will to power here, It's inextricably linked and we know this now from what Elon Musk has shown us. | ||
| mission because you're going to have to get into big tech when you get it's inextricably linked and we know this now from what Elon Musk is showing us. Once you do that you're in this whole FBI CIA DHS DOJ actual partnerships with massive global corporations and and Wall Street right And so you're going to expose very quickly, right, the oligarchs in Silicon Valley and the titans on Wall Street. | ||
| And this is going to get very ugly very quickly because much of that is at the donor base of the establishment Republican Party. | ||
| So tell me tell me the way forward. | ||
| Well, look, I have to just give my honest appraisal of this. | ||
| I think, you know, things have looked good so far. | ||
| So we have to, you know, be a little bit optimistic because at least, again, as part of the conversation, there probably will be some type of committee. | ||
| But the situation is very difficult because the investigation is only really as strong as both the persistence and the leverage of the investigators. | ||
| And so you have to look very carefully at where that leverage actually comes from. | ||
| I mentioned last time I was on yesterday, the church committee was riding a wave off of the biggest national scandal in the country, the Watergate scandal. | ||
| And keep in mind, the Watergate scandal, you know, a lot of the left was scandalized. | ||
| They had the media on their side. | ||
| They had all of these things. | ||
| It was kind of a different situation. | ||
| We don't have any equivalent of a Watergate scandal. | ||
| I think what's revealed is far more scandalous substantively, but we don't have that dynamic where the entire media is on our side and the pressure that generates from that. | ||
| All we have is, you know, patriots who understand that patriots in the country have been wrong, but it's a big question as to whether that's enough leverage to actually Force the CIA, force the FBI, force the GOJ to cough up the documents that will embarrass them at the very best and expose them as criminals more likely. | ||
| Do I have, can I hold you through, I know you got to bounce, can I hold you to 1030 or you have a hard out because I've got to make a decision here. | ||
| I can stick on a little longer. | ||
| Just a couple minutes, okay. | ||
| Last night, I don't want to, we can't bury the lead on the Tucker hit with Massey. | ||
| He said something that quite disturbed me because he said, hey, most of this is going to take place in the skiff. | ||
| The skiff is the secure bunker underneath the Capitol where all the intelligence brief is, where the Star Chamber was against Steve Bannon and the other people. | ||
| Associate President Trump took place under Shifty Schiff's show trial. | ||
| Um, that means it's classified. | ||
| He actually said most of this is going to be classified. | ||
| We'll be able to put out some. | ||
| Give me 30 seconds after I go to break. | ||
| That's not what I want to hear. | ||
| I don't want to hear that it's, oh, it's got to be all classified. | ||
| It's going to be in the skiff. | ||
| Your thoughts? | ||
| Well, look, I know Massey. | ||
| He is probably one of the best guys to do it. | ||
| He would want this stuff out more than anyone, but the structural dynamic is very, very difficult because unlike with the church committee, where it was basically in I just want the audience to know, this is going to be a massive fight, but it's one that has to happen. | ||
| It's going to get to the heart of the coup. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| asymmetrical and so we don't have the same type of leverage to conduct the same type of investigation. | ||
| I just want the audience to know this is going to be a massive fight, but it's one that has to happen. | ||
| It's going to get to the heart of the coup. Short commercial break. Gaffney, Kerry Lake, Darren Beattie. | ||

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann. | |
| Here's the state of play. | ||
| By the way, we've got Darren Beattie that is on deck. | ||
| I'll get to him in a minute. | ||
| We've got Kerry Lake. | ||
| I have Frank Gaffney. | ||
| State of play is that last night they had the 14th vote. | ||
| They came back at 10 o'clock at night. | ||
| They had the 14th vote. | ||
| And what happened is that we actually stood tall. | ||
| We had a couple of guys that went that, you know, Gates and Boebert voted present, but the four hardcore Crane and Goode And Andy Biggs and Rosendale hung tough. | ||
| And so we're going to go to another round. | ||
| Then a fracas broke out. | ||
| Started with McCarthy and Gates back in his row. | ||
| And then went to, and then Mike Rogers in Alabama got involved in almost a fight broke out, or fight did kind of break out. | ||
| We called for an adjournment. | ||
| We're going to adjourn until Monday. | ||
| I think the thought was a couple of the 14 could be peeled off. | ||
| And what happened is that they called to adjourn. | ||
| We're going to have to Monday at noon and be able to work on the 14. | ||
| If they didn't love the package, peel them off and start this thing over again next week. | ||
| But, you know, there was some phone calls made, some whipping. | ||
| Next thing you know, we're going to 15. | ||
| All six voted present. | ||
| McCarthy is a McCarthy speaker. | ||
| Real quickly, I know you got to bounce. | ||
| The Patriot Act should, and I'll get to Gaffney later because now he has probably a different perspective on this, but Tom Massey's a guy that voted, I think he's one of the few guys that voted against, well I don't think he was around, but he's been very anti-Patriot Act. | ||
| They've milked the original war on terror for all it's worth, they've gotten the Patriot Act and much, much more, and that grift is over and so they're repurposing the national security state against American citizens and Trump supporters. | ||
| We're effectively the new Islamic radicals from their point of view. | ||
| And so that's really the thing that I think the church style committee should address most aggressively. | ||
| Going forward, what would be your one or two priorities? | ||
| Now you've got this new, we've got the ability, if executed upon, to keep McCarthy and these guys on a short leash. | ||
| What is your, because you're more on the investigation side, what has to happen, one of the one or two things that's going to show you that progress is being made and we're not getting played? | ||
| Well, they would love to sweep the January 6th stuff under the rug because that's some really explosive stuff. | ||
| I have a very easy and simple ask. | ||
| I want the FBI to hand over the chain of custody of the DNC surveillance tapes and the full raw unedited footage of those tapes. | ||
| And let's start from there and see where it leads. | ||
| Very simple ask. | ||
| You don't need to say the feds were involved. | ||
| All you need to say is it's been two years. | ||
| We haven't caught the pipe bomber. | ||
| It's time to release the full footage of the DNC surveillance site. | ||
| Okay, perfect. | ||
| Darren, how do people get to you, particularly your social media, and how they get to Revolver through that? | ||
| Revolver.news. | ||
| We're going to have a lot of reporting coming up on the particulars of how this church committee should look. | ||
| That's informed by an historical understanding of what the church committee was, why it was effective, where it was ineffective, and how we can update it most effectively given our current circumstances. | ||
| So we're going to cover this very strongly. | ||
| Um, over the coming weeks and months. | ||
| So, revolver.news, if you missed the Trump interview, we talk about the church committee, the JFK files, and much more. | ||
| Go to Revolver News, check that out. | ||
| We're on Gitter at Revolver News, and I'm on Twitter at Darren J. Petey. | ||
| No, it's one of the best interviews of President Trump ever. | ||
| So Darren, thank you so much. | ||
| Honored to have you on here. | ||
| Let's go to Kerry Lake. | ||
| Kerry, one, I want your, you were up watching this last night. | ||
| I want your thoughts, and particularly I'd like to ask you as one of the leaders of our movement, Hakeem Jeffries. | ||
| Throwdown. | ||
| I thought inappropriate throwdown. | ||
| Give us your assessment of what happened last night, particularly from a grassroots perspective, given that we wanted a change of the head of the cartel and we didn't get it. | ||
| And then Hakeem Jeffries, ma'am. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, the Hakeem Jeffries. | |
| I mean, if he thought he was riling up and rallying his troops, it did just the opposite. | ||
| To sit there and watch. | ||
| I mean, it's opposite day with these guys. | ||
| Everything he was describing that he says the Democrat Party is about is just the opposite. | ||
| You know, they're the fascists. | ||
| They're the ones pushing this judicial system that is weaponized. | ||
| They're the ones who are not for governing. | ||
| They are the ones who do the gaslighting. | ||
| And it was just completely opposite. | ||
| It was almost comical. | ||
| And I think what he did was actually energize the people on the conservative movement. | ||
| To do more to stop this insanity. | ||
| This is about not just stopping the left, but the communists left from taking over our country. | ||
| And I was really proud of that band of 20 that held strong. | ||
| They knew they didn't have the numbers, but they used the power they did have to the nth degree. | ||
| And, you know, if you don't think Arizona is America first mega country, look at three of the men on that band of 20. | ||
| It was Gosar, Biggs and Eli Crane, a freshman. | ||
| Representative, representing the people of Arizona who held tight, who held strong under immense pressure. | ||
| And we're getting an idea how we can use what the people of America want, which is they want America first patriots running the show. | ||
| They want America first agenda governing their state and community. | ||
| And we may not have all the numbers that we need, but we can use that power in a way that influences the legislation that comes out. | ||
| and affects change. I'm really proud of those guys. They didn't have the numbers to get what they wanted, but we got a lot out of that. We got a lot out of that negotiation. | ||
| That's how things should be done in Congress. It shouldn't be just this, you're gonna do it our way, or no way at all. | ||
| That's how our conversation should work. | ||
| Give me a minute on Eli Crane. | ||
| He campaigned with you. | ||
| You campaigned with him. | ||
| One of the reasons he won the seat is because of Kerry Lake. | ||
| What a special guy. | ||
| I mean, with all the pressure in the world on him, people got to understand behind the scenes, it was absolutely brutal. | ||
| He stood tall like nobody's business. | ||
| At the end, he voted president when all four of the hardcores went, quite frankly, after talking to President Trump. | ||
| Give me a minute on Eli Crane. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The man is a warrior. | |
| I mean, literally, he is a warrior. | ||
| He's a former Navy SEAL, a very strong man, and to go in there... Can you imagine the pressure of walking into Congress as a freshman congressman and standing up like that? | ||
| That takes cojones. | ||
| That takes a steel backbone. | ||
| But he, you know, he was on your show, Steve, and he said, I went out before I came to Congress and I talked to my constituents. | ||
| I went to all of the main places in my Large district. | ||
| And they said, do not vote for this guy. | ||
| Do not vote more swamp creatures. | ||
| Now, I don't think, I don't think that McCarthy is going to behave like a swamp creature. | ||
| I think he knows that this was a hard fought victory, but it was a victory and America first Patriots cannot be ignored anymore because he will be embarrassed right out of that seat. | ||
| So I'm really proud of Eli. | ||
| He's a fighter and that shows he's going to, how he's going to lead for his constituents here in Arizona. | ||
| I couldn't be more proud of him if he continues to stand up and do what he's been sent to D.C. | ||
| to do, which is represent his district in Arizona. | ||
| Not represent the establishment, but represent the people in his district, and he's going to be a great congressman. | ||
| Talk about the swamp. | ||
| It's in every state, right? | ||
| Not just Washington, D.C. | ||
| And Arizona's got a massive problem, we know that. | ||
| You're the legitimate governor of this state, but Katie Hobbs illegitimately took the oath of office. | ||
| What's happening in Maricopa County? | ||
| Now I'm seeing that the former head of the Supreme Court, they're going to have their own investigation. | ||
| Get people up to speed, because it seems odd that this didn't take place in a court. | ||
| I know you're in an appeals court right now. | ||
| But I don't understand why Maricopa County now is trying to come and clean their skirts, ma'am. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I think when it comes to evidence, they got their butts handed to them in our last court case. | |
| Now, the ruling went against us, unfortunately. | ||
| I don't think the judge had the strength to really make a big decision. | ||
| And it's unfortunate. | ||
| But when you look at the evidence and you look what happened to their team of, I don't know, 12, 13, 14 lawyers, our two attorneys handed them their butts. | ||
| We had all of the evidence. | ||
| We showed that they were printing a 19-inch image on a 20-inch ballot, causing the jam up in the machines at nearly 60% of polling places that were non-functioning. | ||
| We showed that over 300,000 ballots had no chain of custody. | ||
| They came out of nowhere. | ||
| We don't know where they came from. | ||
| We showed that two days after the election, 25,000 ballots just mysteriously appeared. | ||
| And a bunch of other problems that they had, like chain of custody, like conflict of interest. | ||
| And we even saw a couple people perjure themselves and they didn't have an answer for it. | ||
| So now they're going to put a task force together and I'm, I'm sorry, but any task force that, that Gates is behind and the board of supervisors in Maricopa County, this group of incompetent clowns, any task force they put together and choose who's on it. | ||
| It gives me pause. | ||
| And makes me concerned that we may not get the full truth coming out of that. | ||
| I think they need some evidence and information to use in court because they're flat footed, they've been caught flat footed, they don't have anything to rebut what we are presenting in court. | ||
| And they need to look like they're doing something. | ||
| Not only that, I think they're goons in the media. | ||
| are in a bit of a panic because people are saying, why aren't you covering, Arizona Repugnant, why aren't you covering this election fraud? | ||
| What's wrong with you? | ||
| And so these goons in the media need something to cover that makes it look like they're covering the election. | ||
| And this task force will be the perfect thing for them to cover and give them some cover. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Carrie. | ||
| Can you just hang on one minute short break? | ||
| I just want to hold you for a question or two on the other side. | ||

| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| We were on Getter last night. | ||
| We're gonna be Getter Live all over the weekend. | ||
| Also, you get all our running immersion, the immersion experience of all the news we're putting up and all the different sites with War Room, myself, and all the Grace Chong, Captain Ben, and all of our contributors. | ||
| And we got the Committee on the Present Danger, Carrie Lake, everybody up there. | ||
| Carrie, here's the question. | ||
| This is what's confusing. | ||
| You're going to appeal And you've got the evidence from the trial, and you're going to make your case that you're the legitimate governor that was stolen, and Katie Hobbs is Secretary of State. | ||
| I just want to make sure people is this move in Arizona and Maricopa County to kind of run air cover for them to kind of block and just say, oh, yeah, we're looking at that. | ||
| We're going to have a review and investigation of the ballots and not and try to downplay your appeal. | ||
| Because here's my point. | ||
| If they didn't have a problem because it kind of lied about it in court, I think they kind of purged themselves. | ||
| According to them, it wasn't a problem. | ||
| And I can't understand. | ||
| Now, if it's not, if it's not a problem, it's a hiccup. | ||
| It's a hiccup. | ||
| If it's a hiccup, then why do you have the former chief justice of the Arizona Supreme court's going to have a, an investigation at Maricopa County? | ||
| I'm, I'm, I'm confused about what's going on. | ||
| Are they just trying to use this as a misdirection play to take, make sure that in the courts, you don't get a full hearing to, to basically make sure that either have a new election or you're installed as the governor of Arizona. | ||

It could be one of several things. | |
| It could be the media who's been their lapdogs and done all of their work for them is saying we've got to cover something because people are calling us out for not covering any of this. | ||
| We keep calling them election deniers and the people who read our paper actually were disenfranchised. | ||
| So do something. | ||
| It could also be, you know, Liddy and companies. | ||
| Remember Liddy, the one who Who works for the Maricopa County Attorney's Office, and he's the one who said it's the voters' fault for voting on Election Day. | ||
| He blamed it on the voters. | ||
| He blamed it on people like me for saying, please get out and vote. | ||
| It's our fault that this happened. | ||
| So he probably needs something to present in court, because they had no rebuttal to our hard evidence. | ||
| And so they need something to throw out in a court of law. | ||
| Because they don't have anything. | ||
| And so I don't know. | ||
| I'm going to hold off on making too much judgment on this task force. | ||
| But initially, thinking that Bill Gates and his team over at the Board of Supervisors is behind this and choosing the people and choosing the investigators. | ||
| Ruth McGregor is fantastic. | ||
| She's a wonderful woman. | ||
| I don't know who the investigators will be. | ||
| And I don't believe if the Board of Supervisors in Maricopa County, they're the problem. | ||
| If they're the ones who are putting this investigation together, I have my suspicions on how it's going to go. | ||
| But they're in a world of hurt. | ||
| This is not going away. | ||
| They thought that me being new to politics, that, you know, they would steal this in broad daylight, steal a vote of the people of Arizona, and I would just walk away going, it's too big of a hill to climb, of a mountain to climb. | ||
| I cannot deal with this. | ||
| And they picked a fight with the wrong person. | ||
| Because I didn't lose, I won. | ||
| They stole this. | ||
| And they didn't only steal my vote, they stole everybody's vote. | ||
| When you throw in 300,000 extra ballots and then 25,000 additional after election day, and when you don't do proper signature verification on hundreds of thousands of ballots, then you're taking everybody's vote. | ||
| You're watering it down with invalid, illegal ballots. | ||
| And they did that to the people of Arizona. | ||
| And I will not walk away from this fight. | ||
| I will take it to the bitter end, and we will be victorious. | ||
| Behind the scenes, people don't know that all the Republican establishment came to Kerry and said, hey, you got a great future. | ||
| Just walk away from this. | ||
| You got a great future. | ||
| You'll do this, this, and this. | ||
| He said, nope. | ||
| I'm the governor of Arizona, and I'm not going to let the people of Arizona down. | ||
| So we're going to fight this one to the bitter end. | ||
| Kerry, how do people find you on social media and your website? | ||

They can go to KariLake.com, they can find me at all of it, Getter, Truth, Twitter, Facebook, KariLake, K-A-R-I-L-A-K-E. | |
| If you want to help on our legal fight, we are up against Mark Elias and some of the nastiest, most evil attorneys that want nothing more than to come into Arizona and force these folks who really have the cartels in mind, best interests in mind, not the people in Arizona's best interests in mind. | ||
| They want to force those people on us. | ||
| And they're taking money, as you know. | ||
| You know how the Democrats raise money through Ukraine. | ||
| And then they ship it back over here. | ||
| So we could use help with our legal fund. | ||
| You can go to SaveArizonaFund, F-U-N-D dot com, if you want to help out. | ||
| Otherwise, just your prayers are appreciated and continued support. | ||
| Thank you so much, Steve. | ||
| Carrie, thank you for joining us today, changing our schedule. | ||
| I appreciate it. | ||
| I'm going to bring in Frank Gaffney. | ||
| Frank, you've been around a long time fighting this fight. | ||
| Give us your assessment of what went down last night and how we can, what can we take away positive from that to go forward, sir? | ||
| A lot of things came out of it, Steve. | ||
| I think the most important is the fact that you had that core, what I would call the super six and the Terrific 20, of which they were part, that forced Kevin McCarthy to make concessions, as you've described with Mike Davis. | ||
| They're important, but the thing that strikes me about them is the sorts of things that Kevin McCarthy should have offered up from the get-go. | ||
| They were designed to restore a measure of representation in the House of Representatives. | ||
| Not just a speaker that tyrannically rules the place. | ||
| To create accountability, to have a regular order of hearings in committees, making legislation, having them amending that legislation in committee, and then on the floor. | ||
| I mean, these are the sorts of things that were central to how the place operated until people like Paul Ryan and Nancy Pelosi, you know, took it as a personal fiefdom. | ||
| And Kevin McCarthy wanted to have it run that way, too. | ||
| Now, I just want to put down a marker. | ||
| Unless and until this rules package is passed, we better hold the champagne. | ||
| I don't know whether games are going to be played. | ||
| We saw Republicans switching on that vote to adjourn, and I think there's a lot of chafing on the moderate or establishment side. | ||
| So the pressure needs to stay on, and I think this is really why it's so important that the War Room be engaged, continuing on this front. | ||
| Frank, please hold. | ||
| We've got a 90-second break. | ||
| We're going to start the second hour. | ||
| Frank Gaffney is going to join us. | ||
| First time ever in the history of this country, a Speaker of the House from the podium with a gavel talked about we're going to investigate and thwart the rise of the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Gaffney, Posobiec, Russ Vought. |
