Speaker Time Text
steve bannon
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people.
I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
The people have had a belly full of it.
I know you don't like hearing that.
I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it.
It's going to happen.
jake tapper
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
MAGA Media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
unidentified
Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose?
steve bannon
If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved.

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
...that this is just going to become the norm whenever this needs to be raised.
Well, that's why the starting point in this negotiation, which Speaker McCarthy insisted on, was that we would postpone facing this again at least until the end of next year.
And that, to me, is a promise that really convinced a lot of us that we can move forward and not have this hanging over our heads.
All right, Senator Durbin, thank you.
What are they saying? They've got a handshake agreement with Joe Biden?
I mean, I can't believe it.
But here's the real killer.
It took the debt ceiling out to the January 1, 2025, a year longer than the Republican bill proposed.
Here's a piece of information for your viewers.
I just heard it tonight from the speaker in the conference.
He said the reason that happened was his call.
It wasn't even asked for by the Democrats.
He didn't want to end up in another negotiation with Joe Biden next year because he believed that they would ask for more.
That's what he said. You understand?
That's a $4 trillion, maybe $5 or $6 trillion increase in debt that we just let him have, and the speaker says he made the call.
jonathan lemire
Deliberate strategy. I've got new reporting this morning that goes behind the scenes about that, how they felt like if the White House feels like they got a really good deal here, but if they were seen gloating or crowing about it, Republicans might lose votes.
They might be less reluctant. But less supportive of it.
So they decided to wait. The victory lap will come another day.
They feel like this is something important for the country.
And this idea of the president being sort of above the fray, being the calm, steady hand, that's a nice contrast against the hysterical Republicans, they say, before 2024.
steve bannon
It's Friday, 2 June in the year of Allure 2023.
For the Fox afternoon host, sitting there mocking Joe Biden, saying he looked like a bug on his back.
Bug on his back when he when he fell yesterday remember that bug in the back completely owned the Republican Party now the details are coming out and what we're talking about is how do we get accountability on this?
Still breathtaking the New York Times just to make you feel even better the New York Times has the lead story about how this debt deal doesn't do anything anything To cut spending or really to do anything to the debt and their headlines about the debts about to explode and even grow even faster.
And they talk about the 50 trillion dollars and then back into the end of the decade.
The New York fricking times.
This is a firestorm and we're not going to let it go out because there has to be accountability.
There has to be accountability.
The coalition government that was signed off on to allow McCarthy to become speaker In the first week of January, that coalition government is now a coalition government with radical Democrats.
You heard Congressman Clark came on here this morning with the pistol brace bill, which is a top priority for many, many people throughout the country, including potentially three.
There's 10 to 40 million pistol braces out there, and they're saying there could be as many as 3 million people that could actually be According to the ATF felons now, and this bill's supposed to take out of it, the leadership came to him and said, unless you vote for the rule, we're going to pull the bill.
And he voted against the rule to let it come to the floor, and they pulled the bill.
It's not on the slate for next week.
One of the most important pieces of legislation for people that ring doorbells, work phone banks, knock on doors, put hangers out, send emails, and more importantly, these guys send money.
It's screw you. Russ Vogt, where do we stand?
We've had so many people come on here to say this is a tissue of lies.
It's not even worth discussing.
It's such a joke. But, and Jeff Clark from your shop did a fantastic job this morning.
But the issue is, and now I'm hearing from other sources.
I've been having meetings here all afternoon.
The White House, and here's the most important thing in this entire negotiation, you know what it was?
The White House, you gotta give them credit.
They kept, they hermetically sealed the fact That McCarthy brought it up in one of the first meetings.
McCarthy surrendered right there.
They never thought they'd get a second year.
McCarthy offered up two years no cap, and they were like so stunned.
And the big thing is they kept it quiet.
Because if that had leaked out a scintilla, they knew there'd be no deal.
They'd never get it. They're like stunned, in shock.
unidentified
Rest vote. We're at the end of a very consequential week that needs a lot of work over the weekend to be able to be in a great place for next week to be able to have the types of conversations that need to happen in Congress.
Because there's three points that I'd like to make.
Number one, the issue with Andrew Clyde shows you that this leadership team, Kevin McCarthy, doesn't care about saving the country.
He cares about protecting power.
If you have a leadership that actually cares about the individuals who own these These devices and you are going to make sure that ATF doesn't turn them into felons, you're going to be the one that puts the bill on the floor and you're not going to use it as leverage against members because they have a different view procedurally than you do, okay? So that is mission critical number one.
The second point, when you hand over the power to the Democrats for a second year, and that is your request.
You bring it to the table.
What you're telling your entire side, your conference, and what you're telling the American people is that you are afraid of using leverage points.
You're afraid of negotiation.
You don't eat it for breakfast.
You're afraid of it.
And so how can you be trusted with further power In the next one, which we now won't have for a while, but there'll be other must-pass bills, you know, not enough of them.
You just seeded it over.
So that's the second point. And the third point I would say is that we're in coalition government, and when you're in coalition government as a result of a power-sharing agreement with the 20 and House conservatives, and in any other coalition government in the rest of the world, what happens the day after you side against your coalition?
You have a vote of no confidence.
That's what happens. That's what a prime minister in any other system in this world has.
They have a vote of no confidence in our House of Representatives that they motion to vacate.
And so that tool, there is every right for members to be using that tool at a moment of their choosing when they feel that they can win it.
Because he has done something and he is behind closed doors, seemingly at the beginning of the negotiation, He has decided, I'm going to be in coalition with Majority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and as a result, he needs to have a reckoning.
And so there will be a number of things, a flashpoint, that I'm looking towards next week, whether that's on the rules and the conversation, a motion to vacate.
It has to be on the table, because he put himself in a position where he deserves a vote of no confidence, and when that vote can be won, that vote needs to occur.
steve bannon
But here's what I think the win is, because I've always been very hesitant about the motion of AK to use it, because we showed over the last 24 hours that Hakeem Jeffries is a coalition partner.
This was a Democrat bill.
It took 50 Democrats to get the rule on the floor.
He turned the floor over to the Democrats.
What Nancy Pelosi would do, it's inconceivable.
Turned the floor over to the Democrats and then lied about a deal on earmarks.
He cut a deal with Hakeem Jeffries on earmarks, because Hakeem Jeffries is Meade Esposito.
The Queens and the Brooklyn guy, these guys, they don't do anything unless they get something.
They're going to get something for the effort.
This is hardcore smash mouth against a kid that ran a hot dog stand in Bakersfield, California.
He owned him. And then it's a Democrat bill.
He couldn't even deliver the 150 votes he said he was going to deliver.
More Democrats voted for it.
This is Hakeem Jeffries' bill.
There has to be. We need to do the motion to vacate to show to the world, just in high relief, the only people who are going to save him are going to be Democrats.
They're only going to be Democrats.
We might as well put that out to the world.
Should we not, Russ, or am I trying to press this too hard?
unidentified
I don't think you're trying to press it hard.
I mean, I think the case has been made.
And remember we heard in the Speaker's fight in January, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, we're going to have a coalition with Democrats.
Well, that's what you just got.
You got, on a policy basis, governing with Democrats on the most critical must-pass cartel furthering bills, you got a coalition with Democrats.
And you got to make it clear to the American people.
And I think there's a lot of things that are going to be on the table, whether that is bringing down rules procedurally, All of this building towards the types of conversations, there's nothing, there's going to be conversations next week because that's the way these things proceed.
But there is nothing that Speaker McCarthy can say that's going to restore the confidence of the conservatives that would allow them to go back and trust him.
How did he restore the American people's trust with him?
There's nothing that can be said.
And so you gotta just have the bloodletting and let the vote go and have that vote of no confidence, what we call the motion to vacate.
steve bannon
This is my point. Well, let me just say, we're 100 days away from the next one.
There could be others, but there is another.
They all talk about the appropriations process and regular order in doing it.
Well, essentially 100 days from now, you're going to have the thing of passing where you're going to do all your cuts.
You told us, hey, they're going to really do all these cuts, and you're going to have the Senate going to say, not interested.
And then it's the ticking clock of the midnight on the 30th of September, when the fiscal year ends, we're going to be, as you know, Russ, with the CR, with no, we got it.
And who is going to be the leader?
That's going to use leverage and stare down and negotiate and fight, right, the Democrats in the Senate and plus the collaborations, the 17 to 19 collaboration as Republicans, plus the Biden regime.
Can anybody have confidence that Kevin McCarthy can do that, sir?
unidentified
There's absolutely no confidence because he will be conspiring behind closed doors to pass the bills of the Democrats.
He's not going to be like, hey, what do I need to do to stop Lindsey Graham's Ukraine funding or the defense increase that they talked about on the floor yesterday or the earmark?
No, no, no. He's going to spend his time, he's going to beat his chest outside and go behind closed doors and manipulate and be able to plan out the failure theater That he is a part of.
Why did this negotiation take so long?
It didn't take so long because they hadn't caped.
It took so long because they were planning out how to manipulate the lies that they would tell their respective conferences to be able to have the Democrats know but also not tell the world that they won and have the Republicans look like useless idiots with regards to going out there and say, we defunded the IRS. We have an automatic CR that's up to have a haircut.
None of that's true.
And so that's what they have done for the last several weeks.
And that confidence, you can't put that back in the bottle.
And they want us to go on to next fights and, you know, I'm always game up for another appropriations fight.
But you can't go to the American people and say, this is a real fight unless real change happens as to whether the cartels are in control.
Or whether House Conservatives are in control.
And that is what needs to happen.
And I do want to speak to the activists out there.
Don't be discouraged. It was a setback.
But get off the map because we need you in the fight.
And you are winning right now.
You are exposing The falsity of the debt limit package, and we gotta get these guys, let them rest for the weekend, but they gotta get back in the fight, and you gotta have their back to do what they did this week and in January.
steve bannon
Hey, we're live tomorrow.
This audience is ready to roll.
This is a victory in the fact that it's a clarifying moment.
It's the most clarifying moment in modern political history.
Because now you see you've got the donor party, the uniparty, and you have the populist, nationalist, traditionalist that are trying to save the country.
Russ, I know you've got a bolt.
We've got a lot to do over the weekend and then next week.
How do people get to the center with all your analysis, particularly you've got the whole analysis of the deal up there, and how they follow you on social media?
unidentified
At RussVote, we're going to be continuing to work this throughout, and we're not going to let the debate Go in a place where we can't win the debate over the next several days waiting on Monday.
So follow us, americarenewing.com.
The summary is up, and we appreciate all of the time you let us be on the show.
steve bannon
We couldn't do it without you, sir, your entire team.
Thank you very much. Honored to have you on here.
Thank you. Okay, we're going to take a short...
Remember, the biggest things that are going to come out of this negotiation...
Was the discipline of the Biden team to not gloat or leak it to the press of what had happened.
That McCarthy went in there and surrendered.
Fully surrendered. Gave him all the terms.
Took out the $1.5 trillion.
Took out the one year. Gave him two years past the 24 election with no cap.
unidentified
Uncapped. Uncapped.
steve bannon
Short commercial break.
Congressman Tim Burchard.
unidentified
We're going to talk about this. Also...
steve bannon
Is NASA trying to pull a misdirection player?
Are they trying to put a shiny toy in front of the war room?
unidentified
Next. The aerial images were presented today.
UFOs spotted and now documented around the world.
Holding their first ever public meeting, top scientists at NASA, joined by a team from the Department of Defense, revealed pictures and video like this one that captured a metallic spherical orb in the Middle East last year.
This is a typical example of the thing that we see most of.
Saying the origin of the orbs is unclear, officials at the DOD plan to soon deploy dedicated sensors to better track UFOs, technically known as UAPs, unidentified anomalous phenomena.
The current existing data and eyewitness reports alone are insufficient to provide conclusive evidence about the nature and origin of every UAP event.
Confirming 50 to 100 new reports a month, NASA officials say most sightings can be explained, but 2 to 5 percent remain a mystery.
Today's preliminary findings, which only include unclassified data, come ahead of a full report expected in July.
There's a real stigma among people reporting events.
And despite NASA's extensive efforts to reduce the stigma, the origin of the UAPs remain unclear.
After decades of debunking and discrediting UFO sightings, tonight government officials are shedding light on images that will lead many to ask, are we alone?
steve bannon
So this should be the day the Earth stood still, Congressman.
But, you know, we've got all the stuff of transhumanism, artificial intelligence, we're being hit by every direction.
You've got all these massive issues from an invasion of the southern border to the pollution that's being put into the schools for our children to the out-of-control spending to the, you know, the war, Ukraine war that's out of control and spending, and CCP and Taiwan, the South China Sea.
The country is on a knife's edge with tension.
Is this another shiny toy?
Do you believe these pilots, do you believe there's actually something there that's real?
Or is this just a total misdirection play by the administrative state?
tim burchett
I think some of it's a misdirection, Mr.
Bannon, but I do believe that it is real.
I believe that this is probably the largest cover up in the history of our country.
You can go back to 47 in Roswell, military intelligence.
You know, they released that they'd recovered a saucer.
Of course, military intelligence is a lot like congressional ethics.
I don't think it really exists in reality.
But they and then the next day they came back.
steve bannon
You don't believe you don't believe it's a weather balloon.
tim burchett
You actually believe that they actually actually something was I've talked to people that I've talked to family members that have been there and, you know, just Dumb luck, but we can go into it some other time.
It takes too much time to get to the story.
But I believe, because they came out first and said, we've recovered a saucer.
And they put it on the headlines.
Now, how the heck are you going to, is it a saucer or is it a piece of cloth?
You know, this thing isn't.
And then, of course, everybody came in and swept it under the rug.
But there's been so many others.
But I go back to this Intelligence Committee meeting.
I was told I was going to get to ask a question.
And I kind of moved over towards the thing.
And I had a blistering question because I was sick of all this BS that we were being through.
I mean, the people they put in charge of this thing, I'm sure they're patriotic Americans.
But I don't think they could spell UFO. They couldn't stop a 14-second tape.
Isabel Burchett, my almost 16-year-old daughter, she could have come in and hit the button and reversed the tape and stopped it.
But they couldn't do that. The most technologically advanced country in the world.
I walked off and I told the press.
They said, what do you think, Congressman?
You're the only congressman here. I said, man, we just got hosed.
That's all we did. We got hosed.
We were fed a bunch of BS. We have 13 documented near misses of our multi-multi-million dollar top-notch aircraft.
And they're telling me, That this is not an issue.
It is an issue. It's a cover up.
It's beyond what I think a lot of people, they think we can grasp.
Historically, it's there.
With this technology, I've talked to Navy pilots.
They said, look, if that was one of ours or somebody, what they saw, this kid was telling me, he said, you know, you'd be a catch up package.
You would not be the Jesus.
These things are turning. And why in the world you had the Navy pilot there and he had to sneak in with press credentials because they wouldn't let him speak?
Why wouldn't the Intelligence Committee let him speak?
This thing is a cover-up and it stinks.
steve bannon
Do you think the Pentagon first put out the gun site cannon footage from the TikToks, My belief is that they're trying to socialize this.
They're leaking this out so it becomes...
Do you believe they're trying to socialize it and that's the way they're trying to get it out?
tim burchett
Well, I probably know too much about it because I'm pretty sure I know who leaked it out.
But they claimed it didn't exist at first.
And then when it got out, they said that this is not real.
And then the pilots came forward and then they were forced to admit it was real.
So you tell me.
I just think it's a cover up.
It's out of their hands now.
And what's going to have to happen is somebody is going to have to come forward with some serious information, serious photos, serious videos or material, as they say, of Unearthly origin, and then it'll blow the lid off this thing.
But before they do that, you always worry about them committing suicide by shooting themselves in the back of the head 12 times.
This thing is real.
Matt Gaetz and some of us were involved in a hearing, and we were briefed on some things, and it clearly was making As I leaned over to Matt, I said, the spooks in the corner of the room are getting nervous.
The CIA or whatever alphabet agency they were a part of because Matt forced their hand and he made them talk about what they did not want to talk about.
Thank God for him.
I knew that was going to happen because I talked to too many people from the Pentagon.
I talked to too many veterans.
A dear friend of mine, an old Navy guy, He saw me on one of the TV shows, Ancient Aliens or something, and he called me about an incident that happened to him in the 50s in the CIA involvement, and he was a Navy man.
This is a cover-up, and it's been going on for years.
steve bannon
With all you've got going on, are you going to try to force it?
Because I know Gates is quite engaged in this at one level.
Will a combination of you, Gates, and others try to force the hand here so the American people are dealt straight with and we actually get the real information?
tim burchett
We're going to have a hearing. We're going to get those people before us, and we're going to ask tough questions.
That's the only way we're going to get it.
But I would warn the American people, these agencies are going to ask for money to study it.
That's what they're after. They've already got the answer.
Somebody's already got the answer.
They've studied this stuff in the past.
I get called an idiot for this, but I believe they've recovered craft.
I've talked to too many people that are in the know that And there's some false flags out there they put out there.
I've never seen a UFO, but they're in the Bible.
Read the first chapter of Ezekiel.
It's a King James Version.
It's a translation, but it describes within a wheel.
It describes what you and I would call the classic saucer-shaped UFO. It's in the Bible.
It's in hieroglyphics.
It's in Dark Ages paintings.
steve bannon
It's there. You got the giants in the early part of the Bible about Noah.
Remember that? That's a pretty brutal couple of paragraphs in there.
tim burchett
And I don't believe my Bible.
I don't understand it.
Go ahead. Sorry.
steve bannon
Are the folks in East Tennessee and Tennessee too, are they mature enough and adult enough and with enough discernment that they could handle this information?
Or should they be treated like children by their government?
tim burchett
Yes, sir. Well, they're being treated by their government, and that's what's really ticking them off.
I remember I was getting on the airplane.
This guy was dressed up pretty fancy.
I was walking through first class, and he said, hey, Congressman, and I thought, here it comes.
Some guy's going to rip me for something.
He said, that UFO issue.
He said, I really appreciate you.
He said, sometime I'll get together and talk to you about an incident I had.
And I've had people, a good friend of mine in the PR business, one of the best PR peoples in the region.
I've had... People that have shared photos from relatives that were in secure settings.
You know, these things are, it's more, and they're just afraid.
They're afraid they're being stereotyped, and I get it, but I don't care anymore.
I'm sick of it. I think the government is, you're exactly right.
They don't think we can handle it.
They think it's, oh, it's going to disturb the religious, but I think it's more about money.
I honestly do. I think it's money and power.
It's just like the Kennedy assassination.
They won't release all the files on that, and everybody's dead.
Who the heck cares? But it's about power, and it's a human nature, and they've compartmentalized this to the point of the minute levels, and people are dead, and they're dying off, and we need to get them before committees to talk about what they know, and let's get to the truth of it.
steve bannon
I'll let you go with a story that kind of ties us together.
In the beginning, when the church committee was set up, Frank Church was a liberal senator from Idaho, and they put some liberals on there.
Gary Hart had just been...he had just been...
Elected in Colorado, and they wanted him to go on to.
And he decided he wanted to get a back channel to the CIA, so I think he had dinner with Colby, had dinner with Helms, and they recommended he have dinner with James Angleton, the legendary head of counterintelligence that was the guy that went and got all the moles, but really ran the CIA day to day.
And Gary Hart meets him at the Army-Navy Club, and he's sitting there.
And they're having dinner, and they had a couple of drinks, and he's feeling a little comfortable.
Towards the end, he says, Mr.
Angleton, do you believe the CIA had anything to do with the Kennedy assassination?
Now, this is the man who runs the deal.
He's the great mole hunter in the CIA, legendary.
He looks at Hart, and he said, you were a theology major, weren't you, sir?
And he goes, yes, sir. And he goes, in my father's house, There are many mansions.
And that was his answer about the CIA's involvement in Kennedy's.
Gary Hart in the thing said he was struck cold by that.
Congressman, what's your social media?
tim burchett
How do people get to you, sir? I've got all the others.
You can Google them, but the cool one's at Tim Burchett on Twitter, and I appreciate you because every time you ask me that, I get the Bannon bump.
My last video on the debt ceiling went over $100,000 today, and I thank you for that because of the followers and the good people that follow you.
But at Tim Burchett, T-I-M-B-U-R-C-H-E-T-T. On Twitter, that's the one I get just unleashed.
I've got an official one where they spell all the words right and they put the commas in all the right places.
But the one I do when I get ticked off and people say, why did you say that, Birchit?
And I say, well, dadgummit, it was the truth.
And they say, I know it, but you still shouldn't have said it.
And I say, well, I don't care.
That's too much genetically.
My daddy was an old Marine and my mom was just a good old country girl from Cheatham County.
And somehow they...
Here's your host, Stephen K. Band.

And they're telling me, That this is not an issue.
It is an issue. It's a cover-up.
It's beyond what I think a lot of people, they think we can grasp.
Historically, it's there.
With this technology, I've talked to Navy pilots.
They said, look, if that was one of ours or somebody, what they saw, this kid was telling me, he said, you know, you'd be a catch-up package.
You would not be the, geez, these things are turning.
And why in the world you had the Navy pilot there and he had to sneak in with press credentials because they wouldn't let him speak?
Why wouldn't the Intelligence Committee let him speak?
This thing is a cover-up and it stinks.
steve bannon
Do you think the Pentagon first put out the gun site cannon footage from the TikToks, My belief is that they're trying to socialize this.
They're leaking this out so it becomes...
Do you believe they're trying to socialize it and that's the way they're trying to get it out?
tim burchett
Well, I probably know too much about it because I'm pretty sure I know who leaked it out.
But they claimed it didn't exist at first.
And then when it got out, they said that this is not real.
And then the pilots came forward and then they were forced to admit it was real.
So you tell me.
I just think it's a cover up.
It's out of their hands now.
And what's going to have to happen is somebody is going to have to come forward with some serious information, serious photos, serious videos or material, as they say, of Unearthly origin, and then it will blow the lid off this thing.
But before they do that, you always worry about them committing suicide by shooting themselves in the back of the head 12 times.
This thing is real.
Matt Gaetz and some of us were involved in a hearing, and we were briefed on some things, and it clearly was making As I leaned over to Matt, I said, the spooks in the corner of the room are getting nervous.
The CIA or whatever alphabet agency they were a part of because Matt forced their hand and he made them talk about what they did not want to talk about.
Thank God for him.
I knew that was going to happen because I talked to too many people from the Pentagon.
I talked to too many veterans.
A dear friend of mine, an old Navy guy, He saw me on one of the TV shows, Ancient Aliens or something, and he called me about an incident that happened to him in the 50s in the CIA involvement, and he was a Navy man.
This is a cover-up, and it's been going on for years.
steve bannon
With all you've got going on, are you going to try to force it?
Because I know Gates is quite engaged in this at one level.
Will a combination of you, Gates, and others try to force the hand here so the American people are dealt straight with and we actually get the real information?
tim burchett
We're going to have a hearing. We're going to get those people before us, and we're going to ask tough questions.
That's the only way we're going to get it.
But I would warn the American people, these agencies are going to ask for money to study it.
That's what they're after. They've already got the answer.
Somebody's already got the answer.
They've studied this stuff in the past.
I get called an idiot for this, but I believe they've recovered craft.
I've talked to too many people that are in the know that And there's some false flags out there they put out there.
I've never seen a UFO, but they're in the Bible.
Read the first chapter of Ezekiel.
It's a King James Version.
It's a translation, but it describes within a will.
It describes what you and I would call the classic saucer-shaped UFO. It's in the Bible.
It's in hieroglyphics.
It's in Dark Ages paintings.
steve bannon
It's there. You got the giants in the early part of the Bible about Noah.
Remember that? That's a pretty brutal couple of paragraphs in there.
tim burchett
And I don't believe my Bible.
I don't understand it.
Go ahead. Sorry.
steve bannon
Are the folks in East Tennessee and Tennessee too, are they mature enough and adult enough and with enough discernment that they could handle this information?
Or should they be treated like children by their government?
tim burchett
Yes, sir. Well, they're being treated by their government, and that's what's really ticking them off.
I remember I was getting on the airplane, and this guy was dressed up pretty fancy.
I was walking through first class, and he said, hey, Congressman, and I thought, here it comes.
Some guy's going to rip me for something.
He said, that UFO issue.
He said, I really appreciate you.
He said, sometime I'll get together and talk to you about an incident I had.
And I've had people, a good friend of mine in the PR business, one of the best PR peoples in the region.
I've had... People that have shared photos from relatives that were in secure settings.
You know, these things are...
It's more...
And they're just afraid. They're afraid they're being stereotyped.
And I get it. But I don't care anymore.
I'm sick of it. I think the government is...
You're exactly right.
They don't think we can handle it.
They think it's, oh, it's going to disturb the religious...
But I think it's more about money.
I honestly do. I think it's money and power.
It's just like the Kennedy assassination.
They won't release all the files on that.
And everybody's dead. Who the heck cares?
But it's about power.
And it's a human nature.
And they've compartmentalized this to the point of the minute levels.
And people are dead. And they're dying off.
And we need to get them before committees to talk about what they know.
And let's get to the truth of it.
steve bannon
I'll let you go with a story that kind of ties us together.
In the beginning, when the church committee was set up, Frank Church was a liberal Senator from Idaho and they they put some liberals on there they put they put Gary Hart had just been he had just been elected in Colorado and they wanted everyone to and he decided he wanted to get a back channel to the CIA so I think he had dinner with Colby had dinner with Helms and they recommend he have dinner with James Angleton the legendary head of counterintelligence that was a guy that went and got all the moles but really ran the CIA day to day and Gary Hart meets me at the Army Navy Club and he's sitting there And they're having dinner and they had a couple of drinks and he's feeling a little comfortable.
And towards the end he says, Mr.
Angleton, do you believe the CIA had anything to do with the Kennedy assassination?
Now this is the man who runs the deal.
He's the great mole hunter in the CIA, legendary.
He looks at Hart and he said, you were a theology major, weren't you, sir?
And he goes, yes, sir. And he goes, in my father's house, there are many mansions.
And that was his answer about the CIA's involvement in Kennedy's.
Gary Hart in the thing said he was struck cold by that.
Congressman, what's your social media?
tim burchett
How do people get to you, sir? I've got all the others.
You can Google them. But the cool one's at Tim Burchett on Twitter.
And I appreciate you because every time you ask me that, I get the Bannon bump.
My last video on the debt ceiling went over $100,000 today.
And I thank you for that because of the followers and the good people that follow you.
But at Tim Burchett, T-I-M-B-U-R-C-H-E-T-T. That's on Twitter.
That's the one I get just unleashed.
I've got an official one. Where they spell all the words right and they put the commas in all the right places.
But the one I do when I get ticked off and people say, why did you say that, Birchit?
And I say, well, dadgummit, it was the truth.
And they say, I know it, but you still shouldn't have said it.
And I say, well, I don't care.
That's too much genetically.
My daddy was an old Marine and my mom was just a good old country girl from Cheatham County.
And somehow they saved the world.
And I'm afraid we're getting ready to give it all away.
steve bannon
Well, from out there in Tennessee in the land that gave us someone like Alvin York, the great hero of World War I, Sergeant York, we want to thank everybody out there, the Volunteer State.
Thank you, Congressman. Appreciate it.
tim burchett
Thank you, brother. They love you here in East Tennessee.
And please, next time you're down here, my wife and daughter and I would love to have you at the house.
We'll grill some hamburgers.
We're not real fancy or anything.
And you can't smoke in the house, so you've got to go out front.
unidentified
See you, brother. Thank you, sir.
steve bannon
Appreciate it. We're going to take a short break.
We've got a lot to cover. New rules came out today.
Remember, McCarthy said I've got to give him two years.
I've got to take that one year off because he told his conference, in a year from now, we're going to be in a weaker position.
A year from now is when the primary ends, when Donald J. Trump will be the nominee of the Republican Party.
What did he mean by that? Be weaker.
Today, the RNC put out the rules for the debate.
In the last rule, I think I read it correctly.
I just did it before it came out. We'll read it again.
All participants must sign a document that says that they will support the nominee.
Are they telling us they're disinviting Donald John Trump?
Not that he should have any debates with the Keebler Elves.
Doesn't need to debate the Keebler Elves.
Nothing to debate with the Keebler Elves.
Short break. E.J. and Tony, as he does, got in back of the numbers of this jobs report.
He's here to give you a reality check.
Next in the War Room.

On taxes.
In Congress, Ron DeSantis pushed a 23 % national sales tax where the middle class pays more.
90 % of families would get a tax hike if DeSantis replaced the current system.
President Trump cut taxes.
A lot. Lowering tax rates for everyone.
Trump cut taxes.
DeSantis tried to raise them.
Ron DeSantis, wrong on tax hikes, just not ready.

So we'll get more than that at 6 o'clock.
E.J. and Tony, we didn't have time because we've been covering this debt ceiling, but the numbers came out today, and of course, certain elements of the left are skipping around.
But all you have to do is look in back of these numbers slightly, and there's a lot of bad news there.
What's the reality check on this, E.J.? Well, Steve, here it is.
ej antoni
The headline jobs number said we added well over 400,000 jobs between last month and the two previous month's revisions, but we have a lot of double counting there.
How on earth do we get double counting?
Well, if you or I, for example, go out and we get a second or even a third job, every additional one of those jobs is counted in that headline number.
Also, if I go from being self-employed, let's say I lose my business because, oh, I don't know, inflation is is eating into my profit margins, and I go work for another corporation, guess what?
I went from not being counted to being counted.
So again, the total number of people with jobs has not increased, but the double counting has.
And once you take that into account, there actually was no gain in that headline jobs number.
In fact, the second survey that makes up this jobs report, the household survey, showed a drop of 300,000 jobs.
So this by no means is a strong report.
It is mixed at best.
steve bannon
This shows what I've been saying.
The economy is clearly, whether they're going to recession or not, the economy is slowing.
You're going to have the 1.1 % growth, which means you're going to lower tax revenues.
It makes this deal we just cut even worse.
But it signals something deeper.
The second jobs, people are not doing this for their health.
We like people that hustle.
And we like people that have side hustles and maybe have a couple of jobs.
But it ought to be at your discretion.
You're seeing the real heart of this jobs number is folks just having to get second jobs in order to survive, is it not, sir?
ej antoni
Right, and Steve, one of the great pieces of evidence for that is the fact that the second and third jobs that people are taking on have very low wages, and we've seen that not just in today's jobs report, but in a whole slew of other data reports.
We're seeing that essentially consumers are so strapped for cash, they're taking jobs at any prices right now, And that's driving down the average of both hourly wages and also weekly earnings as well.
And sure enough, those are deeply negative once you factor in inflation.
In other words, yes, your paycheck has gone up, but inflation has gone up much faster.
So what you can actually buy with your earnings is dropping.
steve bannon
No, real wages continue to drop.
Also, the consumer debt, I think we've crossed a trillion dollars in credit card debt, and we've got 19 trillion dollars of all consumer debt, including mortgages, with rates going up.
I mean, is your sense, the Fed's kind of in a corner right now, what's your overall sense of where they're going to be coming out on all these numbers?
ej antoni
The Fed is very much in a corner, and they unfortunately have no good way out of it, and that means the nation has no good way out of this either.
But look, at the end of the day, the bill always comes due.
You cannot spend, borrow, and print trillions upon trillions of dollars and expect no negative consequences.
Eventually, you have to pay for all that.
We already paid for it in part with inflation.
We paid for it in part with the recession last year.
We're heading into another recession now.
And things, as you said, are going to get worse because eventually you have to pay for the sins of the past, whether they're moral or monetary.
steve bannon
The New York Times, when the New York Times should put a piece out this afternoon that would be totally celebratory, they have a very somber lead about the debt.
And the headline is, They just had this big debate and discussion, negotiation on debt, and essentially nothing was done.
No cuts were really coming, and they actually led with the $50 trillion number, and they said it's going to start coming so fast because they mentioned the $4 trillion minimum by basically Election Day 2024.
What's your sense of this? Is your sense that the financial community understands that this crisis is now a political crisis?
Because the political system we have can't make adult decisions, sir?
ej antoni
You know, I'm not sure even financial markets have really priced in all of the problems that we're facing.
A great example of which is the fact that the Treasury, as soon as Biden signs this debt ceiling suspension, Treasury is going to turn around and borrow almost 800 billion dollars to make up for their backlog that they've had the last several months since they hit the debt ceiling.
And what that's going to do is drain all of that money out of financial markets.
Where is it going to come from?
It's going to come from equities, which means we'll see declines there, just like we did in the beginning of 2012, right?
The big decline in the S&P, for example, that didn't happen until after the debt ceiling conflict was resolved and Treasury was allowed to borrow all that money.
It sucked it out of stocks.
But where else is it going to come from?
Likely bank deposits, which means we're not out of the woods yet on that banking crisis either, because the deposit drains are going to continue as Treasury borrows more money.
The money has to come from somewhere.
