Speaker Time Text
unidentified
Speaker McCarthy held a closed-door party meeting.
This is right after he kind of tried to upend the whole return from recess with that muddled announcement about an inquiry into a Biden impeachment.
Speaker McCarthy pushed that yesterday, drew heat already, though, from both flanks of his party over that announcement.
On the right, MAGA agitators say they want even more, an actual vote and path to Biden impeachment.
So-called rebels who proved effective at delaying and pressuring McCarthy's original Speaker vote are openly warning tonight that they will oust McCarthy if he does not act on this and other issues like spending and the term limits vote they want. That includes Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz who's dialing up pressure and invoking his own past record exacting concessions from Kevin McCarthy. Kevin McCarthy celebrating a victory that almost didn't happen.
Gates, one of the leaders of the rebellion.
matt gaetz
Mr. McCarthy doesn't have the votes today.
He will not have the votes tomorrow.
And he will not have the votes next week, next month, next year.
unidentified
This looks like a bit of a heated conversation.
This is an incredible moment.
matt gaetz
McCarthy is now directly engaging Matt Gaetz.
unidentified
Somebody's holding somebody back.
Look at that.
Somebody just held somebody back.
Joining me now is that Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida.
Thanks for making time for us on The Beat tonight, sir.
matt gaetz
My pleasure.
Good to be with you, Ari.
unidentified
Let's start with this rather newsworthy meeting today.
What happened and did you hear anything from the Speaker that addresses these concerns you've gone so public with?
matt gaetz
No, I was quite disappointed that at our meeting there wasn't a discussion about how to bring Speaker McCarthy into compliance with that agreement that we hammered out in January.
Thanks for not over-torquing impeachment when it comes to my particular grievances.
Of course, I think we need fulsome and robust oversight, and I do think that Joe Biden deserves impeachment, but that wasn't a part of the deal that we crafted in January, and it would be dishonest for me to represent that it was.
We talked about balanced budgets, term limits, single-subject spending bills.
Those things have not happened, and frankly, a lot of my constituents over the August break were asking me if I was really serious about the deal, being that we have not done nearly enough to enforce it.
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah, you mentioned those items, those terms.
Everyone can have a rich sort of debate about them, but we'll put up on the screen some of what you have now claimed this week, that these were things you guys were supposed to get.
A vote on the term limits.
We know how long people staying in office is controversial.
Cutting spending.
You mentioned the Jan 6 footage and subpoenas for Hunter Biden.
What is most important to you and what would actually, in your view, affect the lives of the American people if you got any of these?
matt gaetz
Oh, undeniably it would be the spending.
I mean, we're about to hit the moment in time where we're going to run $2 trillion annual deficits at a time when much of the world is de-dollarizing from BRICS to the African Union to more energy being sold in the WAN with the new deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
So as the world de-dollarizes, I think that it's really dangerous for us to be running up these deficits.
If Speaker McCarthy brought us individual spending bills, Over the course of this initial year, he would not be facing the challenge that he faces now from those of us who believe he hasn't been honest.
And I know term limits sort of is a talking point to people in the media, but I gotta tell you Ari, as I travel the country and go home, people want to vote on term limits.
And I know it's not going to pass initially, but in the words of the great coach Bobby Bowden, sometimes you gotta lose by a lot, lose by a little, then win by a little, and win by a lot.
unidentified
Okay.
You mentioned this agreement.
You're on record.
You were on the House floor this week saying he's violating the agreement.
Now one problem with that is the public still hasn't seen the full written agreement.
The last time you were here we discussed that.
Let me play a little bit of that.
Take a look.
Point blank, Congressman, have you or your staff seen this additional agreement in writing in any form?
matt gaetz
Yeah, it took multiple forms.
There was specifically a side-by-side sheet where we made offers to McCarthy.
unidentified
Why not have you and your colleagues who negotiated it just release what was agreed to at the time in writing?
matt gaetz
Again, I have no objection to that.
I don't know that I still have a copy.
unidentified
Wouldn't it be better to finally and fully, transparently release the whole thing so both your constituents, Republicans, and the public could see what now you claim is his violation of these assorted pledges?
matt gaetz
Yeah, I have no problem with that.
Chip Roy keeps my copy.
Tim Wright's of the Freedom Caucus has copies as well.
But keep this in mind, Ari.
No one is disputing the authenticity of the terms that I have laid out.
You know, Kevin McCarthy has 200 allies.
I'll let you finish on that.
unidentified
This is up to Chip Roy to release your agreement?
matt gaetz
Well, I don't have a copy of it.
I know it exists, and no one is disputing the terms.
So you are picking a fight here that not even Kevin McCarthy and his top allies quibble about.
Someone in the press should ask Kevin McCarthy, did you commit to a term limits bill?
unidentified
We'll ask and everybody will come on.
Are you calling on Congressman Chip Roy to release the agreement tonight?
matt gaetz
Well, I leave that up to him.
I have no problem with it.
If Chip Roy releases the agreement, you will find it is entirely consistent with what I've said.
Matter of fact, Chip Roy was asked about the agreement at a press conference earlier this week, and he said, in fact, that all the claims that I'd made about term limits, balanced budgets, and single-subject spending bills were, in fact, reduced to writing.
Again, let's get to something that people are actually quibbling about so we can have a more interesting discussion.
unidentified
Well, yeah, we're going back and forth, but if it's your copy, as you say, if it's part of the agreement you and this group reached, and we showed the sound and you're talking about how important this all has been, why don't you get your copy released?
matt gaetz
Again, I just told you, I don't have a copy.
But no one is disputing this.
And by the way, you don't even have to look at a written agreement, because back in January of this year, these things didn't just emerge out of nowhere.
We talked about them at the time.
So in January, we were saying balance budgets, term limits, single-subject spending bills.
Then again, we've said it.
And now, unfortunately, at the meeting this morning, Kevin McCarthy was non-responsive.
I can't quite tell if he's in the denial phase or the anger phase, but we've got to get to bargaining pretty soon in order to resolve this.
unidentified
We always appreciate Elizabeth Kubler-Ross reference around here in the many stages of going through something, sir.
Let me play for you what the speaker says.
We are hearing from you, and you are saying that he is blatantly violating agreements he made on those votes and other things.
In fairness, I also want to play what he's saying for your response.
Here was, very specifically, Speaker McCarthy talking about you today.
steve bannon
But let me be very clear.
Matt is upset about an ethics complaint.
I don't care what they threaten against me.
unidentified
I am not going to interject into an independent community-wide ethics complaint.
So they can do whatever they want, but I'm going to maintain this.
The speaker says this is really about an ethics complaint.
Your response?
matt gaetz
My response is really going to surprise you.
This is about term limits, a balanced budget amendment, and single subject spending bills.
Just like I've been saying for an entire year.
I am the most investigated man in the entire Congress.
And right there, you saw Kevin McCarthy lying like a dead dog because I have never asked him to interfere in any ethics matter.
The FBI and DOJ who hate me investigate me for three years.
You covered it nearly nightly.
And even you acknowledged at the end that my denials held up consistently.
And the people who spread lies about me are sitting in a federal prison right now because they were part of a criminal scheme, not me.
unidentified
Well, in fairness, it is true the DOJ closed the case.
As you mentioned, we reported that.
It is interesting to see you go to this point with the Speaker.
He seems to be implying that you are not doing these things for the reasons you say, but that you were requesting, or perhaps through other people requesting, some special handling or treatment in the ethics complaint.
You're saying that's a lie tonight.
matt gaetz
That is an abject lie from a sad and pathetic man who lies to hold on to power.
He lied to get power in January when he made this agreement, and he's lying now about the basis for breach.
And you know what?
Eventually, the lying has to come to an end, and the votes are going to start on a motion to vacate.
I certainly hope that instead of that path, the Speaker comes into compliance.
On term limits, balanced budgets, and single-subject spending bills.
And guess what?
If that happens, there will be no motion to vacate, which would totally cut against his argument that this is somehow about an ethics matter of the lies of yesteryear.
unidentified
Yeah.
Let me play, and we've spent now about 10 minutes on some of this, and it is true there hasn't been a term limit vote and other things, so while we'd like to see the copy of the aforementioned agreement, we're covering that.
We're covering your exchange with McCarthy.
I also want to play him on the impeachment.
I'm very curious, because you're on the inside, what's really going on.
You know, we're here covering this.
The audience, the viewers, the citizens want to know.
Yesterday, McCarthy says impeachment inquiry.
Today he says, and I have this, I've got all my notes here, but he says something to the effect of, well it's not really about impeachment.
It's about getting answers.
And then I have sound I want you to listen to where he says this.
He says it's actually not impeachment.
Take a listen.
matt gaetz
That's all we're trying to do.
unidentified
It's not impeachment, nothing to do with it.
matt gaetz
Let's just answer these questions.
unidentified
Had the president been truthful when he said he never talked to his son about business, or never dealt with Ukraine, we would never do this.
steve bannon
It's not impeachment, nothing to do with it.
unidentified
Congressman, the question is one, is this an inquiry that's going towards impeachment?
If so, what is the high crime or misdemeanor?
And is Kevin McCarthy handling this the right way this week or not?
matt gaetz
I couldn't tell if you cut away to Kevin McCarthy or a commercial for low tea.
Because yesterday's impeachment is somehow today's not impeachment.
Good gracious, if we actually have to go make the case against Joe Biden, let's hope we have effective people like Jim Jordan and James Comer making the case and maybe turn off Kevin McCarthy's microphone for a while.
The high crime and misdemeanor to me is bribery.
I mean, when you've got Joe Biden participating in 16 meetings with Hunter Biden's business partners and you can't even really call them that, they're just more like bribe payers because there was no business.
And then to watch the White House shift its position pretty substantially from, I never talked to my son about his business deals, to, well, I wasn't in business with my son.
It's quite the tell that there's a lot going on here.
And I also look at the government actions.
Everybody talks about the bribes paid, but I look at what people got for those bribes.
The Chinese were plowing in a lot of this money and in exchange in one of his first acts, Joe Biden dissolved the China initiative at the Department of Justice that President Trump had set up to go after Chinese malign influence.
So the bribe payers were getting theirs, the Biden's were getting theirs.
unidentified
Let me jump in here and I'll let you.
I I'll let you give that answer there.
We're not going to litigate all this right now, but is your bribery case strong if you don't have any bribery convictions against Mr. Biden?
Hunter Biden faces other allegations, but not that.
And against the sitting president when there's an open special counsel probe that hasn't found it.
How do you bring a bribery impeachment without any bribery conviction?
matt gaetz
Well, I don't think that there's a special counsel looking at Joe Biden for bribery.
I think they're looking at him for his mismanagement of records, which I actually think is quite dumb, and we should just resolve the records issue in a nonpartisan way.
But as it relates to a conviction, no.
Because Joe Biden controls the Department of Justice, and because credible whistleblowers have come forward and said that DOJ officials were actually stopping the investigative work As they were building the cases that could lead to prosecutions on these matters, I don't think that that is the gold standard.
I think that we can develop the evidence.
We have our own Article 1 powers that are not lashed to a criminal prosecution or a determination by an Article 3 court.
And we're fully vested with the ability to bring accountability if we were sufficiently bold and rigorous.
unidentified
Understood.
And on the McCarthy side, though, now that we are here in the middle of this week, do you think he has made it clear that Republicans are closer to impeaching Biden, further from it, or status quo, no change?
matt gaetz
I can peel back the curtain here.
Kevin McCarthy is going to advance an actual impeachment on Joe Biden a lot like he was going to advance an impeachment of Ali Mayorkas.
Remember back in January of this year, he kept saying we were going to impeach Mayorkas and the people that were blocking his speakership were blocking the impeachment of Mayorkas?
Well, once Kevin got power, all of that just went by the wayside.
And I think you're witnessing the same gaslighting and the same illusion and the same mirage right here.
He doesn't really mean it.
He knows he broke the deal in January.
He knows there are enough of us in the Republican conference who want to hold him to that deal.
And so he's throwing impeachment out like an ill-caste lure, and he has no real intent to follow through.
By the way, if he did, we'd subpoena Hunter Biden.
Like, if this was a serious effort, call it an inquiry, an impeachment, oversight, whatever you want.
If you were really serious, you'd subpoena Hunter Biden and get answers.
They're not serious, and that's why you see this failure theater in the absence of real accountability.
unidentified
Yeah, it's interesting.
You were a big part of that speaker clash.
You were in the room today.
As you said, peel back the curtain.
Whether people agree or disagree, we're trying to understand what's going on in that sometimes bizarre town.
Congressman Gates, thanks for joining me tonight.
matt gaetz
Thank you, Ari.
steve bannon
It's Thursday, 14 September, Year of Our Lord 2023.
That, ladies and gentlemen, is the gold standard of how you brace up the left-wing media.
Matt Gaetz, two nights at CNN and yesterday with Ari Melber.
Breaking news.
McCarthy's had enough of this.
By CNN, Melanie Zanona.
Uh, a new fired up Kevin McCarthy addressing his conference this morning behind closed doors made clear to his members he is not afraid of his critics, forcing a vote to oust him from as speaker.
According to sources in the room, and I quote Kevin McCarthy, move the effing motion.
Unquote.
We're going to take a short break.
We're gonna be back in the war room to unpack it all for you with nothing but inside baseball in a moment Everything's just beginning for the games you want to play Bring it on another fight to the end. Just watch and see it's all started
matt gaetz
Everything's bigger and you are over Cuz we're taking down the CCP Spread the word all through Hong Kong We will fight till they're all gone We rejoice when there's no more. Let's take down the CCP Let's take down the- This very floor in January, the whole world witnessed a historic contest for House Speaker.
I rise today to serve notice.
Mr. Speaker, you are out of compliance with the agreement that allowed you to assume this role.
The path forward for the House of Representatives is to either bring you into immediate total compliance, Okay, um... We have, and I think it's CNN reporting, more in-depth of, uh... It was explosive in the conference this morning.
steve bannon
Here's why.
Today was supposed to be Jordan and Comer's walking through the investigation.
And people are very interested in this.
And we must start the impeachment process for the good of the nation.
But McCarthy thought this was, we told you it was going to be a shiny toy and Fox is going to run with it all day long.
It's going to be a shiny toy.
And the two, so dumb, they breathe through their mouths.
Deplorables, America First, MAGA was all going to say, oh, this is amazing.
Kevin tells us if, you know, if the government gets shut down, if the Biden regime is forced to shut themselves down, that that we can't go for the impeachment.
Lie after lie after lie after lie.
And today guys are not, and you saw it last night, they're not buying it.
Matt Gaetz is not buying it, the 6 are not buying it, the 20 are not buying it, others.
McCarthy exploded this morning because he sees that even the investigation is not getting him off the hook for what he did to work with Biden and the Uniparty and the oligarchs on Wall Street and his big fat cat donors.
His big fat cat donors to destroy the nation.
McCarthy, and I want to quote, Sina's done a good job here.
It's even a more fulsome quote.
Quote, do you think I'm afraid of the motion to vacate?
Go ahead.
I'm not effing scared of it.
Any new speaker will do what I am doing.
Au contraire, sir.
That, by the way, end quote.
Au contraire, sir.
Answer the question, why have you not done anything in the first nine months?
You've been called out on this.
And number one, all of these ideas, you want a clean CR.
A clean CR would basically mean that Nancy Pelosi has had another year, a bonus year.
She did such a great job.
A bonus year.
You're spitting in the face Of this audience that knocked on the doors that did the get out the vote that went to the town halls that gave the money.
They got everybody to show up to vote you in to this office to give you a majority.
And you have done nothing with it including come up with any plan.
You lied when you cut the deal.
On the debt deal, you lied to people.
You said, oh, this will be a trillion dollar deficit.
We told you at the time and behind the scenes, we told you it was going to be at least two trillion per year in perpetuity.
And we know as a fact, the reason you gave him two years with no cap.
First deal, remember the first deal was a one year to a trillion and a half dollar cap.
They were already blown through it.
They were already blown through it.
We would have had them.
We would have had them.
I want everybody in the audience to understand that the deal was on the table, the original, which we didn't love, but because we understand that the War Room Posse will accommodate on occasions to get things done, we would accept it.
As much as we didn't like it and didn't think it went near far enough on cuts and on de-woke and de-weaponized.
But the trillion and a half dollars would have already triggered all types of recriminations and shutdowns of what the Woken weaponized.
That was the whole purpose, and we told you it was going to be two trillion dollars.
And you lied to people.
And so now you're caught, and you've come up with no plan, and you're trying to put shiny toys on the terrific border.
We've got enough laws.
Yes, the border thing, it's great, it's going to be more, but we have enough laws.
It's the execution and implementation of those laws, and they're laughing in your face.
Ben Burkhardt is down in Darien Gap, and they're swarmed.
If somebody could put up, I think I said, the New York Times Day has this huge story with all these photographs.
And it's talking about the Darien Gap.
Oh my gosh.
Finally, we forced the New York Times to cover it.
That's an invasion of the United States.
You're doing nothing.
You're doing nothing about the woke and weaponized.
You're doing nothing about the ceding of our sovereignty to all these international organizations.
Nothing is getting done.
Nothing.
It's all performative.
Including Comer and Jordan.
Yes, go ahead.
Why hasn't Hunter Biden been subpoenaed and been in at least for a deposition?
Why haven't the people running been in for depositions?
This is bribery.
It's so in your face.
Why have the laptop from hell not every day come out there?
Why have the bank records over Treasury not come forward?
If the Democrats had bank records on Trump, they'd be the front page of the New York Times every day for a week.
You're a weak... I want to quote Matt Gaetz.
And by the way, these are two masterclasses.
Tell me which Republican goes into CNN in primetime with Abby Phillips and then goes to MSNBC and the biggest hammer they got is Ari Melver.
Right there.
He's a lawyer, not a TV guy.
Tell me any Republican out there that could go into the lion's den twice and blow him up.
He had Abbie Phillips looking like a high school kid.
And Ari Melber's got the producer blowing him up in his ear.
unidentified
He's going, ba-dee, ba-dee, ba-dee, ba-dee, ba-dee.
steve bannon
Matt Gaetz, who, by the way, has had DOJ and the FBI all over him for years, and they dropped it.
And Kevin McCarthy lies.
That's a bald-faced lie.
And this is technically what Kevin McCarthy would do.
You see how weak he is?
You see that?
Well, it's not really impeachment.
We're just going to ask a few questions.
Just stand up and be a man.
Own the room, step in there, your big talk in front of your conference, dropping the F-bombs.
Come in front of the microphones with the opposition media and be a man.
You know why people are sick of this?
You know why they're sick of Fox News, and they're sick of the Republican Party, and they're sick of the Uniparty, and they're sick of half a conservative media?
Because your pencil necks that will roll over immediately.
Now's the time to strike.
Force the Biden regime to the wall and break them.
And the way you break them is cut off the money.
Force them to cut their money off.
The economy is totally in shambles.
Every number is with us.
African-Americans, Hispanic, particularly males, understand what they're doing.
The grooming is going on in the schools, what the Biden regime is forcing down from the top, what the radical Democrats are trying to do to destroy the family, destroy their children, and worse and worse, just like Mao and the Cultural Revolution, trying to turn the small children around and weaponize them against the parents.
Against the parents.
On every aspect of what they're doing, show me the plan that gets us out of the two trillion dollars a year in perpetuity, which obviously is insanity.
Just show me a rational actor here.
There's only one thing to do and that is to force this regime to the table and break them right now.
And the way you break them is you decouple them from that Federal Reserve printing press that the rest of the world has told you is destroying them.
Our friends, you know, our allies, they talk about, you know, Joe Biden does so much for the alliances.
Yeah, he's over there shoveling money into the crook Zelensky and the oligarchs in Ukraine.
Can you imagine the gall to talk about a $24 billion supplemental when you have a $7 trillion budget right now with unlimited deficits?
and you've already shown us in your first year two trillion dollars deficit Kevin McCarthy and brother Matt Gaetz said this so perfectly and remember when you're in the moment and you're being hammered by Ari Melber on national tv that's stepping into the moment That's owning the moment, the unforgiving minute.
How many people can do that?
How many people can step in there and own it?
And I quote, Kevin McCarthy is a sad, Empathetic man.
End quote.
Is this what we're going to do for leadership now?
We're going to have a sad clown like McCarthy, who by the way, took all the money from Sequoia Capital, the tip money, to back off what Sequoia Capital and the oligarchs in Silicon Valley, the tech titans, in the moneyed interest of Mike Moritz and this crowd, have given the Democratic Party to sell us out to the Chinese Communist Party?
To sell us out?
There's high treason all over the place.
But you have to have the political will to go do it.
And sir, you have been weighed and measured, Kevin McCarthy, and you are found wanting.
And so now don't... Okay, this posse has been amazing.
The reason we're here is when they went back to their districts, you lit them up.
You said, yes, impeachment is very important.
We got to get on with that.
It's because for the good of the country, but the single biggest thing you must do.
There can be no CR and there's not going to be anonymous and we're not going to remember one of Maria Bartiromo.
Well, you know, Maria, we really need to wait till next year.
We really need to wait till next year where we really can address this as thoroughly as possible.
That's what we need to do.
And we can't shut the government can't get shut down because we can't go forward.
We then can't go forward with impeachment.
Those are lies that you can feed to clowns.
Okay, we got a lot going on today.
I'll get off my soapbox momentarily.
We're going to end this hour with an American original.
Johnny Cash.
I am bound for the promised land as MAGA and The Deplorables are.
Cash Patel on the other side.
short commercial break.
johnny cash
Thanks for watching.
I am bound for the promised land.
I'm bound for the promised land.
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound for the promised land.
O'er all those wide extended plains shines one eternal day.
There God the sun forever rains and scatters night away.
I am bound for the promised land.
I'm bound for the promised land.
Oh, who will come and go with me?
I am bound.
Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm.
steve bannon
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, just to let you know, remember, you're the key here.
You're the driver of the action.
It's called the protagonist.
That would be you.
Don't want all these people talking about 2024.
Forget 2024.
The future is now.
We will define the battlefield for 2024 now.
Anybody comes in and wants to talk to you about, oh, you know, DeSantis or Tim Scott.
And Tim Scott ruled himself out of VP today.
Happy talk.
Oh, sunny day.
Tim Scott.
The glass is always half full.
Timmy Scott put out his economic plan.
Complete neoliberal tax cuts for the wealthy.
He's in Trump's face on the trade deals.
Believe it or not, the trade deals.
Dude, the 1980s called and want their neoliberal neocon planned back, Tim Scott.
Tim Scott now officially crossed off the list as VP.
You got to be with the program, Tim.
You've got to be with the program.
You've got these big donors there.
They're in your ear.
You've got to go back.
In fact, here's what you ought to do, Tim.
Don't give me, oh, happy day anymore, and it's all sunny in America, and it's morning in America everywhere.
I don't need to hear it.
Here's what you need to do.
Go sign up, and we'll even... I think Navarro charges $10.
Drop the $10 and take the macroeconomic course of him.
And then listen to the word of him a few times.
And then look at your sad, empathetic economic plan.
Breaking news, Ched Pergrim uh... tweets out and this is why there's a firestorm in the conference.
I got Cash Patel up here and I got Cash, who's the hammer, the government gangster guy.
I asked Cash to come in this morning to get me up to speed with his wisdom because I rely upon his opinions in matters such as I'm about to talk about.
Comer, and this is why McCarthy's dropping F-bombs because the big, this is, remember, he bifurcated.
Yesterday was going to be the overall conference strategy, which he got lit up.
And trying to throw out the shiny tour of impeachment.
And today was going to be Jordan and Comer going to go through it.
Here's where we stand.
And here's where we're driving.
And here's what's happening.
And here's go, go, go.
And I quote, Comer says he has not thought about the impacts of our government shutdown on his impeachment inquiry.
And he is also very vague about any timeline.
Okay.
Unacceptable.
I don't need you on Fox News talking about what you don't have and what you might have.
This thing is real.
The evidence is out there.
The evidence is overwhelming of bribery.
Overwhelming of selling out to the Chinese Communist Party.
Overwhelming of what they got from it.
Sam Faddis called Biden a controlled asset.
And Sam Faddis is pretty judicious about what he says.
So this morning, a complete belly flop.
Once again, a couple of not particularly bright guys, Comer and Jordan, nice guys, very good men, like them, good guys, but you need killers.
We need killers.
And their staffs have to be killers.
You don't have killers up there.
The Democrats got killers.
Look how they're coming after Trump.
They're thinking of everything in the world.
They got 50 different, they gave him 91 indictments, 700 years in prison, and they're going to add a couple, three more.
We're going to have a guy running for Congress out in Arizona.
His son got 20 years and they upgraded it.
They gave him an uplift of, you know, terrorist exoneration or something.
40 years in prison.
Those are Democrats.
The judges and the DOJ, they're totally coming.
They're going to eviscerate people.
Where are the republics?
Where are the gutless, gormless republicans?
You suck.
And you suck because courage is contagious and you have no courage.
Look at McCarthy.
When you step into the Capitol, you're Speaker of the frickin' House.
Act like Joe Cannon and own the room.
Step up there and own it.
Even if you're pitching your own stuff, which I detest, just own it.
Be a man.
Be a man.
Be an alpha male.
Don't be beta.
You got too many betas.
Got too many little boys running around out there.
Show me some men.
And for all you guys that hate Matt Gaetz, and Matt Gaetz is Matt Gaetz, you show me anybody in the Republican Party anywhere, including the Keebler elves, that can step into CNN on Wednesday and come back to, and Abby Phillips about as good as they got, okay?
Come in there on Wednesday night and come back Thursday afternoon to Ari Melber, who's a complete and total assassin.
Embrace them up.
Got the producer blowing.
See Ari's face?
The eyes rolling around.
Producer's in his ear.
Get out of here.
He's got you.
Boom.
Pivot.
Here's what you got to do.
unidentified
And Ari's giving a hudda-ba-dee-ba-dee-ba-dee-ba-dee.
steve bannon
Show me who can do that.
And Matt Gaetz laid it out.
Impeachment wasn't even in the middle of compliance.
That's something that can't be a political process.
It has to be a high crime misdemeanor, or bribery, or some such.
It can't be political.
That wasn't in the deal.
He's not in compliance with the deal.
And the biggest thing, he just announced, coming out, they're listening to the war room.
He got that thing and they're feeding him notes.
O'Bannon, you're such a big shush.
That's a tough guy.
He's going to bring the CR next week.
He understands he can't wait till midnight on the 30th.
He's going to bring it next week.
He's going to throw some shiny toys on it.
Let's just get it on.
Let's just do it.
I'm sure he's calling up the punch bowl this morning.
Jake Sherman and the team over there.
Grace has got it.
Grace, if you can pull some clips when you put it up.
Jake Sherman's got the story.
It's all about Pelosi dismissed him all the time.
She called him a moron.
Hezbollah speaker calling him a moron.
She's vicious, cold-blooded, an assassin, a killer.
She dismissed him.
He's with Hakeem Jeffries on his knees.
Hey, Hakeem, what can we do?
We got to be, you know, we got to be nice to each other because he needs Hakeem Jeffries votes.
If he takes Democrat votes to pass the CR that's going to bury your children and grandchildren, oh yeah, and you, and turn everybody under 40 into a Russian serf, Then, motion to vacate Liz's.
Have the vote right now.
Let's do it Monday or Tuesday.
Why mess around?
See who's got the muscle.
We'll take that bet.
Do it.
Don't drop the F-bomb.
Come on and do it.
Bring it up.
Okay, Kash Patel.
I got Comer sitting there going, I never thought about a government shutdown.
What planet have you been on, dude?
What planet have you been on?
The midnight on the 30th of September.
Cinderella gets to coach and leaves.
The clock strikes midnight.
Fiscal year is over.
Kash Patel, do you believe in your legal, professional, national intelligence and chief of staff over DOD mind and one of President Trump's senior advisors?
That Comer never thought he was going to say that.
That's a great question.
Let me think about that.
What will a government shutdown do about my impeachment?
He's going to knit his brows.
Let me think about that.
Kash Patel, where are we, Kash, in these investigations?
Brother, you're the hammer.
Tell me where we are.
kash patel
We're nowhere where we need to be, Steve.
Look, you outlined the brilliant failures of the congressional process when Republicans have the majority and are led by gutless men.
The problem we have today is that now you have a cataclysmic collision of events created by our own Republican leadership, and they are going to rub the pennies and put on shiny ponies.
and strap on a CR and convince the world this is the greatest thing ever and we saved the United States government.
How does anyone in congressional leadership not know that the September 30th date is the default date?
And they are now gonna race to a CR, which you cover is going to destroy the United States of America.
My problem is they're now, Biden, excuse me, McCarthy's coming in and saying, oh, we'll finally impeach Joe Biden.
Why the hell didn't you do that 10 months ago?
What do you mean?
Why did it take you nine months to get to an inquiry?
And oh, by the way, they're not actually impeaching him.
They're just looking at, looking into, looking into doing it again some more later.
That's what he announced.
He didn't announce an impeachment inquiry.
And by the way, can you read the political tea leaves?
The left wants Joe Biden out.
David Ignatius and the Washington Post and the New York Times and your buddy over at Joe Scarborough have announced he wants Joe Biden out.
unidentified
So now, The Republicans are going to be dumb enough to do the dirty work for us?
steve bannon
Give me the clip from Morning Mika.
Cash, you know the intelligence community.
Yesterday, and we'll play the clip here in a second, when David Ignatius came out and wrote that column that Biden's done some great things, got alliances, all this amazing, but he's got to step down.
He can't run again.
The camel hairs can't run.
David Ignatius is the comms director for the national security state.
Is he not, sir?
kash patel
Absolutely.
He's the guy that oriented Russiagate and made it into a thing that it never was.
He's the guy that rigged the presidential elections with the 51 Intel letter.
He's the guy that the deep state leaks to when they want a narrative out there because they need something done.
And right now they want Joe Biden out.
And when the Republicans move forward with this impeachment, they will be doing the Democrats bidding.
That's how stupid some of these people are.
I've been calling for the impeachment of Wray and Garland since day one.
They are the original government gangsters.
The American public deserves the receipts.
Like you said, why hasn't Hunter Biden been subpoenaed?
Where is Chris Wray and Merrick Garland's subpoena?
They're the ones that covered up the Chinese bribery scandal.
They're the ones that gave Hunter Biden the sweetheart plea deal.
steve bannon
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
To prove the theory, the Cassius theory of the case, It's been correct, because Cash has been on here and said, hey, Steve, you know, you guys are calling for the head of Biden to be in a trade of robbery.
He says you really got to get Ray and the key guys are Ray and Garland, because that's the operating guys hard.
That is the deep state.
And they've basically made your case.
The deep state.
Put out a papal bull through David Ignatius saying, you got Biden.
Go for it.
We're going to provide no air cover.
In the New York Times, everybody's going to fall in line.
The New York Times had the column yesterday about it, too, from a different writer.
But we're going to protect Wray and Garland.
So your theory of the case, Ignatius proved your theory of the case, did he not, sir?
kash patel
Yeah, where do you think he's getting his intel from?
Ray and Garland.
They're giving him the goods in advance so that we can decapitate Joe Biden for them.
I mean, this is Russiagate all over again, except they've learned their lessons.
And you know who hasn't?
Us.
The Republicans, the conservatives in this country have not learned the lesson of being victimized as enough.
We are dumb enough to go out there and play the stooge and act as if the American people in the war room posse who've been demanding you hold Chris Wray and Garland in contempt of Congress for violating six federal subpoenas On a weekly basis, yet the two-tier system of justice will pivot and convict great Americans like Bannon and Navarro for the bogus contempt of Congress hearings from the Jan 6th Committee.
Where are the men of will and the Republican Party on Capitol Hill?
And why aren't they demanding contempt of Congress hearings for Chris Wray and Merrick Garland who are flouting the law?
Who do you think is hiding the criminal conduct of Joe Biden?
All roads will lead to the CCP and the Ukraine and the millions of dollars.
But now they want us to take up time on their shiny new CR and say, look how we saved America from default.
It is a bogus D.C.
political hack job by swamp monsters.
steve bannon
Real quickly, we've got two minutes on this side, I'm going to hold you through.
Give me, if I had cash over today, because they needed a senior advisor.
If you walked into Comer and Jordan and said, OK, guys, calm down.
Here's what we got to do.
Walk me through the action plan.
kash patel
Yeah, look, you don't have to do 100 things.
Three things.
Subpoena Ray, subpoena Garland, subpoena Hunter Biden.
That's it.
And get all the receipts.
Get every document.
Why, Steve, is it that we have fought for one year?
To get one 1023 from the FBI, that's 60% redacted, that shows direct evidence of Joe Biden's corrupt involvement with his son.
You and I know there are 10,000 other pages of documents the FBI and DOJ are masterclassing us on by looking at this shiny object here and saying, well, no one's really even asked for us about these other documents.
And I'm sure we'll get another nice letter from Congress in a week or two, and we can punt that for another month or two.
Where are the subpoenas and where's the enforcement?
Go take their money.
Chris Wray doesn't need a private jet.
Chris Wray does not need 10,000 people in Washington, D.C.
doing his bidding.
Take their money, reorient the FBI headquarter building, and do the same thing to Garland until they come and heal.
unidentified
And this Congress I just haven't seen in a while.
steve bannon
You ran the Pentagon as Chief of Staff over there.
Does the FBI need a building that's 2X the size of the Pentagon, sir?
kash patel
No, as I've said in my book, the thing that you need to do at the FBI headquarters building is shut it down and open it up the next day as a mausoleum of the deep state and let every American walk the halls freely every day to know how never to operate law enforcement again.
And send the 7,000 agents in that building to chase down rapists and criminals and gangsters and drug violent offenders and safeguard our cities.
That's what they need to be doing.
steve bannon
Cash Patel, one of the senior advisors to President Trump, author of the book Government Gangsters, with podcasts, great tweets, all kinds of content.

You're going to hold for us.
steve bannon
It better be signed.

Short break.

Pelosi, Speaker McCarthy made the argument the other day that well, Nancy Pelosi set this precedent.
She waited a long time to have a vote on the first impeachment of Donald Trump.
You did hold a vote, we should add, but he said you made the rules and he's just following them now by not holding this initial vote for an impeachment inquiry.
What do you say to that?
nancy pelosi
I say that that's hogwash.
I mean, it's ridiculous.
And I don't know why the press keeps repeating it.
The fact is, we said we were going to, I assigned my committee chairs, six of them, to develop the facts.
Because you have to act upon the facts.
That's a strange thing to say, maybe around here, but you have to act upon the facts.
We had a couple of weeks of doing that, a few weeks of doing that, and three or four weeks, we then prepared to bring the bill to the floor.
They've had eight months of investigation, come up with nothing, and now they're trying to say, well, we're not going to have a vote because Nancy didn't have a vote the first day.
No, we had a vote.
We were in preparation for a vote.
But again, this is a big deal, an impeachment.
You have to do it with care and not on impulse.
And until we had the case ready, that's when we went forward.
steve bannon
You see, this is why I admire him.
They'll look you straight in the eye and lie to you and do it with conviction and won't back down.
unidentified
She's a hammer.
steve bannon
Everything about that's a total lie, with the quorum and thinking about what they did to President Trump and the made-up ones.
Kash Patel, real quick, I know you've got to bounce.
Your response to Nancy Pelosi on that just bald-faced lie?
kash patel
She's a killer.
She's a killer.
She can stand up in front of the American people and lie to them.
And say they had a case against Donald Trump when they didn't, and half the world is going to believe her because the fake news mafia will let them.
So, you know what?
They're going to keep campaigning on the fact that they say we have no evidence, and we've outlined all the evidence, but our Congress needs to act on it.
unidentified
Steve, I wanted your audience to see this.
kash patel
Look, it's real.
This is the first off-the-press copy of Steve Bannon.
They gave me 10 copies, and part of them is signed to the Metropolitan King for Steve Bannon.
It releases in one week, finally.
Governing Gangsters.
steve bannon
Wow.
Everybody goes to Amazon and gets that?
What a great photo, Cash.
Cash, look, I want everybody to go get Governing Gangsters.
It's a blow-away book.
It'll put you in the mindset of exactly where we are with these investigations in this corrupt administrative slash deep state, and everybody needs to get it.
It's a graduate-level course in that.
Cash, before you bounce, just real quickly, Because I want to get you back on here.
We're going to the Iran deal in more depth on the terms of the deal.
Where do they get six billion dollars?
People ask me, where does he get six billion dollars to cut a deal?
I thought we had to approve treaties.
I thought we didn't pay one cent for tribute.
What Jefferson told us on the Barbary Pirates, we're spending a trillion dollars on defense.
Where does he just get the six billion dollars that he can just make a deal to pay a billion dollars per person to get hostages out?
Where do we get the money?
kash patel
Yeah, by the way, just to remind your audience, we've got 54 hostages out, didn't spend $6 billion on the Trump administration.
Where he gets this money is $6 billion is frozen by United States sanctions in South Korean bank accounts.
And the Biden administration went in and lifted those sanctions to provide $6 billion to the Ayatollah of Iran and the IRGC Quds Force, the largest terrorist operation on planet Earth.
And he just directly funded terrorism.
He sent that money to the Middle East.
And this boondoggle that he's created, he actually thinks, and Blinken has been saying this lie around the world, we have oversight over the money.
You don't have oversight over anything.
The Iranian president came in the next day and said, we will spend this $6 billion how we want to send it and spend it.
And once they released it from the South Korean banks, Just like the money going into the Ukraine, we have zero oversight over it, zero control how they spend it, and worse, they are going to use it to kill Americans and take more hostages.
steve bannon
The Mulas are the central partner of the CCP and the KGB.
It's the Mulas, the KGB, and the CCP.
That's the center of gravity of the new access, consolidating the Eurasian landmass.

You've got to get back to the pre-COVID limits.

You have to show a plan to get us out of the death spiral of $2 trillion a year.

The end of the dollar empire is catastrophic for us now as we're structured.
I'm not saying we always have to be the prime reserve currency because it comes with certain responsibilities and obligations that maybe we don't want anymore.
But that is something for a detailed debate with the American people that will take place over a number of years.
Not just the pull the plug and that is what's happening.
Because the Uniparty, the oligarchs, the tech oligarchs, the Wall Street titans are making more money.
As America declines, they're making more money on the way down than they made on the way up.
