Because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot on 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've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||

MAGA Media. | |
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience. | ||

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | |

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bamm. | ||
| Remember, this all gets back to the original sin of 2008, of the financial crisis then. | ||
| Did you get a bailout? | ||
| No, you did not. | ||
| That bailout was financed by you. | ||
| They went to negative interest rates or zero interest rates to save the financial institutions, the very financial institutions that had brought on this catastrophe and made all the money in the 2005 to 2008 run-up or 2004 run-up. | ||
| They were making record profits. | ||
| We bailed them out. | ||
| And one of the ways we bailed out was the zero interest rates. | ||
| That day's all over. | ||
| The only time you've had good news on real economy and real productivity Was the Trump years, the golden year of 2019 when Trump's all the policies kicked in. | ||
| And there's some of those policies were not perfect, but they were good enough. | ||
| Trump took a trillion dollars off of the Federal Reserve. | ||
| It's nine and a half trillion today. | ||
| We took over as four and a half trillion from what Bush and these guys did to save the system. | ||
| Trump took a trillion dollars off and gave you 3% growth with low interest rates, no inflation, And employment of blue-collar and non-college graduates at all-time highs. | ||
| You talk about the poll of 10% and the people in the economy, I think it's in the low 30s or 20s with Biden, it's their lived experience. | ||
| We can return to that. | ||
| But I got to tell you, if we don't fight this now, Trump's going to be almost with no room to maneuver. | ||
| This is the precipice we're on. | ||
| Remember, FDR first in the 30s and then Nixon in the 70s. | ||
| They all want to get off of convertibility into gold. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because it unchanged them to spend as much as they want. | ||
| The purchasing power of your dollar since Nixon took us off has dropped 87%. | ||
| 87%. | ||
| The BRICS nations have the oil, they have their natural resources. | ||
| They don't have to put up with it. | ||
| And they're not going to put up with it. | ||
| And remember, two-thirds of those hombres are not buddies, not friends of this constitutional republic we have. | ||
| They're our enemies or rubbing up on our enemies. | ||
| All brought to you by the elites in this nation. | ||
| And that's what this fight is right about right now. | ||
| And the one they hate the most, Trump. | ||
| Up 10%. | ||
| They're in full meltdown. | ||
| The Keebler Elves thing's over. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| It's obscene. | ||
| Dave Bossie, you should be ashamed of yourself putting on this, and Ronna McDaniel, putting on this phony debate this week while Trump's out there talking to the workers in Detroit. | ||
| You should be ashamed of yourself. | ||
| This thing is phony. | ||
| It's going to suck out $500 million that we should be putting into election integrity. | ||
| And backing the Christine Karamos and these great people running the state GOPs that are there to make sure we have fair elections, are backing Mike fricking Lindell, who every second of every day they're trying to destroy him and his company. | ||
| Go to make sure you go to Birchgold now get the third and fourth installment. | ||
| I need you empowered. | ||
| We need you not just understanding the debt trap or understand the politics of currency the politics of money plus what Nixon did back in the 70s. | ||
| You have to understand this. | ||
| And look, I'm not I'm not an anti Nixon guy at all. | ||
| But this one you got to understand particularly how they did it over a three-day weekend and what it's led to so make sure you go check it out. | ||
| Michael and Del, I'm going to get back to EJ in a second. | ||
| You must understand that $10 trillion has to be financed in the next year. | ||
| Then you understand the underpinnings and if they don't understand this on Capitol Hill, they should understand it. | ||
| They should understand it. | ||
| Ignorance is now not a defense. | ||
| Michael and Del, you guys are besieged and there's other people playing games too, which I think you will be able to explain to our audience. | ||
| This week, but you're under siege on every different aspect of it. | ||
| That's why we need people to go to MyPillow.com slash war room right now and check it out. | ||
| Where are they going to find, sir? | ||
| Well, you're going to find all these great specials we put up today for the war room. | ||
| And I'm going to go through, we have five specials that are, that we put on the war room square. | ||
| So go to MyPillow, go to the square war room, help out my company, help out my employees. | ||
| They're down there. | ||
| The first one's the MyPillow 2.0. | ||
| We have the queen size. | ||
| They're 50% off, $39.99. | ||
| The king size, just $5 more. | ||
| And these have all the new technology there of the MyPillow 2.0. | ||
| That's what's keeping my employees in employment. | ||
| They're down there and they're making these every day. | ||
| Then we have the percale sheets. | ||
| The new 2024 percale sheets came in. | ||
| I know you all out there asked for a higher thread count and all long staple cotton. | ||
| That's what we have in all the new colors are in and you can get these the queen size for $39.99 and The six-piece, I mean, the full queen-size percale 2024 sheet. | ||
| Then we have the towels on sale for the $39.98. | ||
| They're normally, I don't know, almost $100. | ||
| And we've got the all-season slipper, or the original MySlippers, the best Christmas gifts ever. | ||
| We've got those on sale right now on the War Room Square, $39.98. | ||
| They make the best Christmas gifts ever. | ||
| So, but Steve, we really need everybody's help right now. | ||
| We have things going on, I'm gonna let you all know this week. | ||
| One of the things, so I'll give you a prelude. | ||
| American Express, I wasn't gonna say this, we've been with them 15 years and we do all of our online marketing and all our shipping with them. | ||
| Out of the blue, they took our credit line from a million dollars down to 100,000. | ||
| Just crippled my pillow. | ||
| No reason, no explanation, just dropped it down last Tuesday. | ||
| And this coupled with another, you're going to hear tomorrow what this other company is doing. | ||
| They're in an all out attack on my pillow. | ||
| And it's disgusting, Steve. | ||
| It really is. | ||
|
unidentified
|
My employees... Let me be blunt. | |
| Here's why it is. | ||
| Because Trump's up 10 points, and now, you know, the majority of the American people understand the 2020 election was stolen. | ||
| And that's Mike Lindell been hammering. | ||
| Trump's, let me repeat this, Donald J. Trump, on a poll of a newspaper, the Washington Post, and a TV network, ABC, that hate the very concept of Donald Trump and MAGA, have him up by 10 points. | ||
| And that's the best news for Biden in the whole poll, the rest of it. | ||
| That's why, that's why American Express, they're trying to, they're trying to debank you. | ||
| This is where the hammer is. | ||
| You want to stop the debunking? | ||
| You want to defang DOJ and FBI? | ||
| The appropriations bill is where you go in and start cutting this out and putting pressure on these companies that can't do that anymore. | ||
| You're going to cut them out of all these government giveaway programs. | ||
| This is where the hammer is. | ||
| You want to stop the debunking? | ||
| You want to defang DOJ and FBI? | ||
| You want to de-weaponize the lack of taking our sovereignty away in Geneva with the WHO, with all the CCP. | ||
| controlled institutions, the U.N., in Geneva or in our southern border sovereignty. | ||
| That's what this fight is. | ||
| The manifestation of it is on the factory freaking floor in Minnesota with my pillow. | ||
| They're coming after everybody because they understand they've got to destroy Lindell to destroy this movement. | ||
| Go ahead, sir. | ||
| This is all about everybody. | ||
| We're right over target with the plan to secure our elections. | ||
| We're starting this fall, this great plan that we have. | ||
| They know if they take me out of that, the only way that Donald Trump does not win is if they steal it again through these computers and the election platforms that are out there. | ||
| We are securing them. | ||
| And they have to try and stop it right now. | ||
| And they know that. | ||
| That's why this attack. | ||
| Steve, they turned the attack up on MyPillow this last month and a half, probably as high as it's ever been since all the retailers canceled us. | ||
| And everybody, we're all praying that we get through this because we have to. | ||
| We have to secure our elections to get our great real president back in. | ||
| The only way that they're going to win is if they steal it. | ||
| And I think they've got a lot of different aspects of how they're going to do it, but Mike is the leader of this, you know, melt the machines into prison bars movement, right? | ||
| And that's why they're trying to take him out. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| One more time, MikePella.com. | ||
| Yeah, go to MyPillow.com, everybody. | ||
| Scroll down and you'll see a picture, Steve, there, the War Room Square. | ||
| We put all the specials up today. | ||
| What you're going to hear the rest of the week is there's platforms out there that are also trying to de-platform us, and so we need to get the word out here. | ||
| There it is right there, all the specials we put up today. | ||
| MyPillow 2.0 and all these are the best gifts ever. | ||
| We've added that one to the overstock sale. | ||
| That's sleepwear and everything. | ||
| There's over 200 products, everybody. | ||
| Please help us out. | ||
| Help my employees out. | ||
| Help save our country. | ||
| Brother, thank you so much. | ||
| Tell the folks on the factory floor we got their back. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| I'll be on the factory floor tomorrow if I get on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Perfect. | |
| You'll be on. | ||
| By the way, tell American Express we're going to shut them down. | ||
| Yeah, it's just evil people that they did. | ||
| They're evil people, evil, evil people, evil people. | ||
| They're evil. | ||
| Let's call them what they are. | ||
| They're evil. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| EJ and Tony, I would just want you to under I wanted because we're trying to have an adult conversation. | ||
| We're trying to have a board of directors, a C-suite conversation with people that use their agency. | ||
| I just want them to go through understand Underpinning this, the way you, the beast needs to be fed because it hasn't been brought to heel. | ||
| So in feeding the beast, it's $10 trillion in the next 12 months. | ||
| $2 trillion of that is because of the deficit. | ||
| Remember, the next year after that's another $2 trillion. | ||
| But you've also got $8 trillion you have to refinance coming off of the low interest rates. | ||
| Walk me through again. | ||
| My overall interest charged in the year is going to be, what, $800 billion? | ||
| Well, Steve, we're looking at next year being $800 billion before we add any new debt and before existing debt gets rolled over at a higher interest rate. | ||
| So that $800 billion is actually a very rosy scenario. | ||
| It's going to be much higher. | ||
| We're going to break a trillion dollars in the next fiscal year in terms of interest on the debt. | ||
| And you're absolutely right. | ||
| You outlined it very well there. | ||
| We have an additional $2 trillion in borrowing. | ||
| that the Treasury is going to have to do to finance this massive deficit and we have about eight trillion that's going to have to roll over from low interest rates to now much higher interest rates. | ||
| I mean, this is absolutely crowding out the private marketplace here. This is why interest rates can't come down. | ||
| 202-225-3121 When you call today, ask the geniuses that are going to pick up the phone. | ||
| And by the way, you've got to have the back of the Gateses, and the Bigses, and the Gosars, and the Boberts, and all the other folks, the other 10, 20, you know, Eli Crane, all of them. | ||
| We'll put the names up here in a moment. | ||
| Rosendales, all of them. | ||
| Have their back, but when you call the rest of them, say, hey, how are you going to... | ||
| Tell me why we have a trillion dollars of interest spent next year, and what are you doing about it specifically? | ||
| Don't give me any happy talk. | ||
| Don't tell me, oh, we got to have a short-term gap spending. | ||
| No, we don't. | ||
| We don't. | ||
| Midnight comes on the 30th. | ||
| Guess what? | ||
| The sun will come up the next morning. | ||
| But now they'll be on the clock. | ||
| Let's put them on the clock. | ||
| You guys slow-walked this. | ||
| You played games. | ||
| You wanted this crisis to get a CR to lead to an autobus. | ||
| We're not playing the games anymore. | ||
| You're exposed. | ||
| We're not playing your games. | ||
| We're playing our game. | ||
| Our game is, hey, if midnight comes, so be it. | ||
| So be it. | ||
| Because they never want to talk about what the crisis is. | ||
| That's not the crisis. | ||
| Remember, CNN and MSNBC are skipping around and Fox is skipping around with their hair on fire. | ||
| That tells you it's to get you off the topic. | ||
| Here's the topic. | ||
| We're going into bankruptcy. | ||
| We're bankrupting every generation to come after us. | ||
| This is the defining moment. | ||
| And we're not going to do it. | ||
| EJ, your forecast then is a trillion dollars of interest expense is going to come up in this new fiscal year, correct? | ||
| Correct. | ||
| That's absolutely correct, Steve. | ||
| And again, it's difficult to emphasize how much that this is crowding out private economic activity. | ||
| This is going to make it more expensive for businesses to get credit. | ||
| It's going to make it more difficult for them to get credit. | ||
| And the same thing for consumers as well. | ||
| This is a key reason why interest rates are through the roof right now and why the monthly mortgage payment on a median priced home is twice today what it is when Biden took office. | ||
| It's because They just won't stop the spending and the borrowing. | ||
| E.J., your social media, how do people get to you, sir? | ||
| Best place to find me is going to be on X at Real E.J. | ||
| Antoni. | ||
| E.J., thank you for hanging with me. | ||
| I really appreciate it. | ||
| Thank you for being here. | ||
| E.J. | ||
| Antoni. | ||
| My pleasure, Steve. | ||
| Fantastic. | ||
| Econometrics. | ||
| This is the defining moment. | ||
| This is a defining moment. | ||
| And remember, just like in The Godfather, where they say whoever comes up to you, whoever goes to Barzini at the funeral and tries to make the deal, that's the enemy. | ||
| Just watch who's trying to do these CRs right now. | ||
| It's like they're going to Barzini to set a meet. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Short break, back in a moment. | |
| They're whining about their house burning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They're going to want credit for putting the fire out, and then they're going to set up a GoFundMe to get paid for what happened. | |
| I'm not going to lose by nine points. | ||
| This is a close race, and there are warning signs there. | ||
| I will say, though, I'm a little tired of it. | ||
| I'm a little tired of three years hearing about how Joe Biden's going to get crushed. | ||
| He's going to get crushed in 2020. | ||
| He and the Democrats can get crushed in 2022. | ||
| There's going to be a red wave. | ||
| There's no way he can pass bipartisan legislation. | ||
| He passes more than anybody this century. | ||
| And it just keeps going on and on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
There's a bunch of things at play. | |
| Let me have it. | ||
| The reason is, is that collaborationists in the Senate, that's what President Trump talked about today, the collaborationists in the Senate allowed this to happen with the omnibus and with agreeing to all his, this, the build back better and all this crap that was financed. | ||
| That's all a disaster. | ||
| I want to read, Corey, you saw right there at the top, that's Graves, you know, we're arsonists, we're burning down the house. | ||
| Graves, you probably more, you McCarthy and McHenry probably more than any three people in this nation are responsible. | ||
| Folks down in Louisiana have to understand this. | ||
| He's responsible. | ||
| They took the donor calls. | ||
| They took the donor meetings and they went in and they cut a deal that allowed Biden to economically destroy this country. | ||
| The deficits on Graves, the deficits on McHenry, the deficits on McCarthy. | ||
| And I would like to see, maybe we have to four year requests. | ||
| Graves, here's what you need to do, bro. | ||
| Here's what you need to do. | ||
| I would like you to come forward today, without all more of your happy talk, just give us the financial models. | ||
| I would like to see the financial models you used, the financial models you used when you made the debt ceiling deal back in the spring. | ||
| Just show us the models, because they don't exist. | ||
| Because you're not smart enough to understand a financial model. | ||
| You jeopardized the future of this Republic. | ||
| Let me folks understand something. | ||
| If you want to save this Republic every day going forward is going to kind of be like this. | ||
| I would love to chase shiny toys and have maybe some more entertaining stories, but that's not going to save this country. | ||
| That's not going to save this country. | ||
| What's going to save this country is you must choke off the Leviathan. | ||
| Step one. | ||
| Not going to totally, but if you don't choke that off, there's no hope in anything else. | ||
| In the game of money and power, you take away their money and we take their power. | ||
| What Graves and McCarthy and McHenry gave them was a blank check. | ||
| This is why we have $2 trillion that needs to be financed. | ||
| Not refinanced, financed. | ||
| Another $2 trillion. | ||
| And next year is the exact same thing. | ||
| Because all the phony things they use on the debt ceiling, all the projections that Buy and Game were all lies. | ||
| That's lies. | ||
| That's all phony baloney in the out years. | ||
| Oh, you're going to cut over a 10-year period. | ||
| You're going to cut this. | ||
| I'm going to do this. | ||
| No. | ||
| We don't need 10 years. | ||
| We want now. | ||
| Or an investment banking term, as we say, period zero. | ||
| Now. | ||
| I want to know how you're going to save the company now. | ||
| I want to know what you're going to do now. | ||
| I don't need three years from now, five years from now. | ||
| We need now. | ||
| You've had these gutless, incompetent, hapless Republican who are at the beck and call of the donor class, and then today you got the political story. | ||
| The donor class finally savvies up to what I told them was going to be a year ago when I would talk to them. | ||
| It's Trump. | ||
| If you want to win, it's Trump. | ||
| If you want to save this nation, it's Trump. | ||
| Not DeSantis, not Youngkin, not Kemp. | ||
| These are all fantasies. | ||
| Yet you'll spend as much money as possible to help the Democrats defeat Trump. | ||
| That's all you're spending now. | ||
| This disgraceful... No one that cares about the future of their country should watch one second of the Keebler elves out at the Reagan library. | ||
| Not one second. | ||
| Nobody. | ||
| I'm getting a message from my team. | ||
| Oh, is he in studio? | ||
| I'm now welcome to join. | ||
| I can get off my soapbox. | ||
| The cavalry has arrived to the war room. | ||
| Congressman Matt Gaetz. | ||
| Congressman Gaetz. | ||
| First off, Congressman Gaetz, we started the show with Maria Bartiromo yesterday, which I thought was just explosive and very illustrative of much, but then Maria came back and it was a clean up on Al Freed this morning. | ||
| Because I think, and you don't get better than Maria Bartiromo. | ||
| And I think she realized in that conversation and others that what you had a lot of gravitas in what you were saying. | ||
| Walk us through what's transpired and where we are right now in this fight to save our country, sir. | ||
| I'm grateful that Maria had me on her program. | ||
| I don't get those invites from Fox as much as I used to, so I was grateful for the opportunity. | ||
| And I think what that exchange and the follow-on dialogue really shows is that when confronted directly with our argument, smart and open-minded people like Maria Bartiromo will convert. | ||
| To our viewpoint that the best way to stop continuing resolutions is to stop voting for continuing resolutions. | ||
| You know, the best way to govern through a paradigm that will allow spending cuts and reform to the agencies that have just been so turned against the American people is to actually force them to present their budgets individually, subject to scrutiny and review, not all bundled up in one big vote. | ||
| And, you know, the online and, I think, email of feedback that Maria got really, I think, led her to be reflective about the fiscal position that the country's in and the argument I was making. | ||
| And so I think, all in all, it was a win-win, a positive on all sides. | ||
| I want to go, first off, let's talk about President Trump came in pretty hard last night. | ||
| And President Trump is hesitant often to get involved in these type of fights, but he understands about the woke and weaponized and also about the jeopardy where we stand fiscally. | ||
| Walk me through your thoughts on President Trump jumping in here. | ||
| Well, I know that President Trump is always a growth-first guy when thinking about the economy, and he and I have had discussions about his concern that a lot of the Trump tax cuts that did help repatriate capital into our country are expiring at the beginning of 2025. | ||
| And so you can't have anti-growth policies kicking into effect at the same time you've got rising interest rates and a deficit that'll be at $2.2 trillion annually by then, all that atop a $33 trillion debt. | ||
| And so President Trump wants this to get cleaned up as fast as possible, and he knows that continuing to vote for continuing resolutions under Joe Biden will lead to continued failure for our economy. | ||
| Just think about those Green New Deal credits alone. | ||
| You see, you know, the CBO thought that that would be a number in the billions. | ||
| Wall Street is planning for those Green New Deal tax credits to be like a $2 trillion deal in the economy. | ||
| They think they're thirsting after that many just... | ||
| Just forever available dollars, right? | ||
| So that's going to balloon the debt and the deficit even more than some are anticipating. | ||
| So this is the moment, and I need to echo what my colleague Lauren Boebert said on The War Room last week, that you all calling, emailing, letting your voice be known, really helped us kill the continuing resolution that the leadership was trying to pass last week. | ||
| Now there is a new directive, Steve. | ||
| the problem solvers group which is sixty four members of congress half republican half democrat are pushing for a continuing resolution that would give joe biden cart block for all those green new deal tax cuts everything else it is a student loan debt you name it cart launch till january eleventh on top of that they provide for a ukraine supplemental on top of that they provided disaster supplemental and on top of that they provide more money | ||
| to the department of homeland security but based on my read thus far and and i'm happy to be corrected if the policy evolves this will not lead to a more secure border This will actually get more people into the country. | ||
| This will be more processing of illegal aliens into America under the false auspices of asylum. | ||
| So that is the new thrust for the pro-CR crowd of Republicans and now some Democrats. | ||
| We continue to hold the line. | ||
| I just want to make sure, can we hold you through the break? | ||
| I know you're very busy and I appreciate you dropping by to the studio today. | ||
| Sure. Can we hold you through the break? I know you're very busy and I appreciate you dropping by to the studio today. Can we hold you through the break? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Okay. I want to, before I go to break, I got a minute or two. | ||
| President Trump's, the polling came out from the, you know, the Never Trump, Hate Trump, Washington Post, you know, Jeff Bezos, Amazon, Washington Post, ABC, Trump's up 10. | ||
| But if you look at the crosstabs, Matt, as I know you have, it's even worse for Biden. | ||
| Is the reason that African Americans, particularly males, Hispanic males and others, are coming now to the Trump cause is because of their lived experience, the true experience they're living under this no growth economy with these high interest rates of Joe Biden. | ||
| Is that one of the reasons and that is what your fight is about to free those people? | ||
| Well, Joe Biden has brought the country into a series of crises. | ||
| A crisis at the border, a crisis for the U.S. | ||
| dollar, a crisis where he's sleepwalking the nation into World War III with Russia so that we can play an oversized role in which dude in a tracksuit gets to govern Crimea, for goodness sakes. | ||
| And I think a lot of working class people look at these crises as potentially having a big effect on them, and they don't see what Joe Biden is really fighting for. | ||
| The America First movement stands for repatriating capital, building and creating more things in our country, and not engaging in interventionist wars. | ||
| And I think that is going to be more palatable to most Americans. | ||
| Now, I am not as optimistic as that 10-point lead might suggest, because I do believe there is a certain segment of Democrats who right now are answering in these polls that they are just so despondent about Biden. | ||
| They're so mad at the Democrat establishment for forcing Biden on them that they're punishing them with out by withholding their support now. | ||
| I worry that there's always a group there that comes home to the Democrats. | ||
| So that's why we have to keep our shoulder to the wheel. | ||
| Congressman Gates, if you'd just hang on, we're going to take a short commercial break here in the War Room. | ||
| I want to make sure everybody goes to birchgold.com slash Bannon. | ||
| Download the fourth installment on the end of the dollar empire. | ||
| You must understand de-dollarization. | ||
| You must understand how our purchasing power of the dollar has been crushed, what led to the rise of the BRICS, what led to the de-dollarization, why the rest of the central banks in the world are buying gold at record rates while our Federal Reserve works on a digital currency. | ||

| And we're going to get down, because this week we're going to get down to it. | ||
| We're going to have a moment of truth in this nation. | ||
| No more lies, no more covering it up, no more. | ||
| I've got some clips, I don't know if we have time to play it, but I'm going to talk you through it. | ||
| Gates, first off, Kevin McCarthy, he's had Graves do it. | ||
| That's been his running dog to take, to yap, yap, yapping at your ankle. | ||
| But he's come out now and he said, um, the reason we don't have these individual appropriations bills and of getting the woke and the weaponized is Matt Gaetz's fault. | ||
| Now correct me if I'm wrong, Congressman Gaetz, but they've known, as you've said, that the midnight of September 30th has been coming for, we've known that for a while, yeah, like a year, when the, the, they promised us in the debt ceiling deal where they gave it away to Biden. | ||
| It's different here. | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| They promised that. | ||
| September 30th didn't come. | ||
| They promised they'd... | ||
|
unidentified
|
They... | |
| Didn't come on a different day, right? | ||
| Didn't they promise you and promise part of the deal that it would be single subject, regular order? | ||
| Tom Massey said this is where we get the cuts and others. | ||
| How many days starting in June have you guys actually been at work? | ||
| Can you help me out here? | ||
| How many days have you actually been up there at work when they allow the appropriators to actually work on these bills, sir? | ||
| Well, we certainly haven't broken any productivity records in the Congress in this term, and just take these precious days that we've had now. | ||
| When I endeavored to get these four single-subject bills up for consideration and review and amendment, as I wanted the conference here working through admittedly tough issues on each of these bills that really needed to be sanded down and honed in on, Kevin McCarthy sent everybody home at 3 o'clock on Thursday, And we don't gavel back in till noon tomorrow. | ||
| Now, I appreciate that it's Yom Kippur, but if it's Yom Kippur or Christmas or Easter or St. | ||
| Patrick's Day, The government is running out of money on the 30th, and I think we should show our work to the American people. | ||
| So I was not encouraged when, on the heels of some momentum, to get these four individual single-subject bills considered, Kevin sent us home at 3 o'clock on Thursday and told us he'd see us again at noon on Tuesday. | ||
| That's just not how the American people expect the Congress to operate, and it's another sign of his failed leadership. | ||
| But let's for a moment go to Garrett Graves' comments, which I saw over the weekend. | ||
| Garrett Graves accuses me and the crew I run with of being arsonists. | ||
| He accuses us of siding with Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats, when in fact it was Garrett Graves who was the architect of the debt limit deal that now all Republicans are running away from. | ||
| Here's what you haven't heard in the last two weeks. | ||
| Oh, well, we put ourselves in such a great position with the Fiscal Responsibility Act that we've had all these Republican wins. | ||
| Remember right after the Fiscal Responsibility Act, the Garrett Graves Fiscal Responsibility Act passed? | ||
| Oh, he was out there crowing about regulatory reform and spending cuts and welfare to work. | ||
| And as we dissected that and showed the American people that it was all a veneer, it was all a ruse, Republicans started running away from that faster than you see the Democrats running away from Robert Menendez right now. | ||
| And so, Garrett Graves has paved the yellow brick road of working with the Democrats. | ||
| I'll take no lecture from Garrett Graves about the ails of working with Democrats because he's the one that worked with all the Democrats to get their debt limit bill passed and to underwrite Joe Biden without limitation until 2025. | ||
| So that is what we are fighting against. | ||
| And when Kevin McCarthy says that it's my crew that has been standing in the way of single-subject spending bills, that is projection. | ||
| Here's why we are so delayed. | ||
| Kevin McCarthy made contradictory promises to different people. | ||
| He promised House conservatives in January that there would be a lower top line with non-defense discretionary spending, consistent with pre-COVID spending levels. | ||
| But then, he went and promised the appropriators and the moderates and the New Yorkers and people in Biden districts, don't worry, I'm never going to put you in a tough spot with any of these deep cuts. | ||
| We'll just say things like, 8% cut across the board. | ||
| That way you don't have to actually say, this program, this sub-agency of government, you're gone. | ||
| This is over. | ||
| We're not tolerating it anymore. | ||
| So Kevin made contradictory promises, and then the calendar kept turning day after day, and we never had an agreed-upon top-line number. | ||
| This is not difficult. | ||
| Every state legislature in America stands a few blue ones who've gotten off the rails. | ||
| Understand that the first thing you do is you establish the top-line number, how much money you can spend. | ||
| And then, pursuant to that top line, you go and create single-subject bills to fund the agencies of your government. | ||
| So I'm not asking people to dim the lights, you know, get the candles up and pull out the Ouija board and hope that some mystical figure delivers us a process that is worthy of the people we serve. | ||
| It is a process that our state legislatures do every year. | ||
| And it works for them. | ||
| And, you know, the reason we are in this spot is because people like Eric Graves and Kevin McCarthy hoped that it would go like it always has. | ||
| That at the very end, a small group of people get together and make all the decisions, and then everyone else is just forced to vote up or down on the entire government. | ||
| And if you're not for it, we're going to scare you with shutdown politics. | ||
| Well, the American people are more afraid of the financial ruin that the UNA party is leading us to than they are maybe a six or seven day shutdown to get these bills passed. | ||
| The only platform the House of Representatives should present the Senate for negotiation are single subject bills. | ||
| We should refuse to negotiate with Biden or the Senate on a continuing resolution. | ||
| And if we do that, if we had 222 Republicans making that case, if we had the posse with us, we would be an ascendant movement. | ||
| Again, we would draw people in to that vision because Republicans and Democrats, independents, all Americans know that the system we have is corrupt and it is precisely why you're sitting on a $33 trillion debt. | ||
| Corrupt and failing. | ||
| I want to go back to what people say. | ||
| When you have these appropriations bills, it's not just the cuts, programmatic cuts. | ||
| You can also see what people are supporting funding on the woke and weaponized. | ||
| Walk me through what Voterama is. | ||
| I think there's 400 amendments already. | ||
| And you've said this is what legislating is. | ||
| This is what democracy is. | ||
| I'll give you an example. | ||
| We can actually see that. | ||
| Go ahead. | ||
| I'll give you an example. | ||
| The Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill is one we really should front load because it allows us to platform the Biden border policies against the Trump border policies that really worked. | ||
| So we want that fight. | ||
| We should want to move that bill. | ||
| Well, CISA is an entity at the Department of Homeland Security that has been heavily implicated in the censorship of our fellow Americans, in the censorship industrial complex that's out there tagging people who support building the wall or the Second Amendment and trying to act as though that's worthy of government scrutiny and tracking and tracing. | ||
| So we want massive cuts. | ||
| We want to deauthorize that activity. | ||
| And we have some Republicans who disagree and think CISA serves a valuable role. | ||
| And people like Dave Joyce, the appropriator-in-chief for the Department of Homeland Security. | ||
| So that is an issue where we need to go and have the debate, have the vote, have it out, and you know what? | ||
| I may win, I may lose, but this is the true legislating. | ||
| This is how we get to better decisions and how we liberate ourselves from decades of failed programs that continue to get funded because they never get any review or scrutiny. | ||
| Bobby Bowden, greatest coach in college football, said first you gotta lose by a lot, then you lose by a little, then you win by a little, then you win by a lot. | ||
| Well, I'm gonna be straight with you and with the posse. | ||
| Chances are, this town does revert to its corrupt muscle memory. | ||
| Continuing resolution, uniparty in control, preserve the leadership no matter what, and then come and hunt the conservatives and the principled folks who are actually fighting for the America First movement. | ||
| That is the muscle memory of this place. | ||
| That's how it usually goes. | ||
| But this is a rare opportunity for us to stand together, for us to hold the line, and for all those that are standing with me, people like Corey Mills, Tim Burchett, Andy Biggs, Matt Rosendale, Eli Crane, You know, Dan Bishop, we have an amazing team that actually believe in this country and that are willing to fight for it. | ||
| And we know there are tens of millions of Americans who are praying for us and who are willing to fight alongside us to get this thing back on the right track. | ||
| 202-225-3121 is the number to call today. | ||
| Remember, they are, quite frankly, support the great patriots and warriors that are with us, and give the old what-for to those who don't. | ||
| I want to get into this problem solvers, particularly one of my favorite. | ||
| General Don Bacon from Nebraska. | ||
| But just what he said about the Grace McCarthy bill is quite important. | ||
| This is quite important in the fact that they are strapping and handcuffing President Trump for what he can do with renewing the tax cuts that he did in 17 in 2025. | ||
| We're going to be at such a financial calamity It's going to really restrict President Trump on anything he's going to try to do to rejuvenate the economy to get to the years of 2018 and 2019. | ||
| That is one of the great crimes. | ||
| Let's play Bacon. | ||
| I think I got Bacon. | ||
| Let's play Don Bacon. | ||
| I'll have Gates respond to it. | ||

NBC's Julia Sirkin got this exclusive interview with the Republican leader just a short time ago. | |
| I gotta ask you, the holdouts today were saying they're still holding out on a CR and on the probes bills. | ||
| What's your reaction to that? | ||
| Well, that's difficult. | ||
| This is why we've been trying to pass these since July. | ||
| When I took over, I wanted to make sure there were never to be an Omni. | ||
| An Omni is when It doesn't go through committee. | ||
| So in the debt ceiling, we put the provision in where you cut across the board 1% if you don't do all 12 bills. | ||
| That made the Senate, for the first time, actually do their bills. | ||
| We've gotten ours out of committee, and since July, I've been trying to be able to bring them to the floor individually. | ||
| But these same people have been blocking the rule just like they blocked the rule twice last week. | ||
| So I'm not quite sure understanding when they think they're fighting to We'll get to the baking clip in the next segment. | ||
| We'll get to the baking clip right there. | ||
| What is he talking about? | ||
| So we've got a new rule up that could pass four more of our appropriation bills. | ||
| That would be... | ||
| We'll get to the baking clip in the next segment. | ||
| We'll get to the baking clip. | ||
| Right there, what is he talking about? | ||
| Is that a bald-faced lie, sir? | ||
| Yeah, yeah. | ||
| I mean, you remember what that was about. | ||
| We had conservatives standing against the McCarthy, Biden, Garrett Graves debt limit bill. | ||
| And then because one of those conservatives was the author of the legislation to repeal the pistol brace rule, they were holding up the pistol brace bill. | ||
| They were punishing gun owners because we were demanding fiscal responsibility, even as they were underwriting debt. | ||
| So we said, no, no, no, you don't get to move your gas stove bill. | ||
| And then not advance this legislation for gun owners. | ||
| So Kevin McCarthy is saying that that moment is the reason why today, at the end of September, he hasn't produced the single-subject spending bills and just wants to roll it up in a CR. | ||
| That may fool some of the grundoons that watch MSNBC, but that is not going to fool the posse. | ||
| No, this was Andy Clyde. | ||
| I mean, it was heroic what you guys did. | ||
| I got a minute here. | ||
| I'm going to hold you through the break if we can. | ||
| The Don Bacon situation, Problem Solvers. | ||
| Problem Solvers wants a CR that goes to January. | ||
| They want a CR that goes to January 11th. | ||
| Which, I mean, this isn't just kicking, this isn't just punting, this isn't just kicking the ball down the field. | ||
| This is kicking the ball out of the stadium to, like, three stadiums beyond. | ||
| Because a green light for the Biden administration through January gives them all of the momentum to enact the policies that are hurting working-class people. | ||
| And we do not want to do that. | ||
| We want to stand as a resistance to those failed policies, to the Bidenomics that the American people know are leading us down the wrong track. | ||
| But the other thing, and I signaled this before we even went to recess, the notion that we would lash Disaster relief in Hawaii to Ukraine aid is quite possibly the most offensive feature of this proposed continuing resolution. | ||
| However you feel about disaster aid to the folks in Hawaii, and I'm for that, and however you feel about aid to Ukraine, and I'm against that, you should definitely agree that those issues deserve their own dignity. | ||
| And lumping them together is exactly why we get this log-rolled process of lawmaking that we should abandon. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| Congressman Gates on the other side. | ||
|

|
We rejoice when there's no more, let's take down the CCP! | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Congressman Gates, you've been kind of the architect of this from the beginning. | ||
| In the initial fight in January that went 15 rounds and many, many days, when they said you were an agent of chaos, but you delivered us a toolbox. | ||
| And you warned us at the time, this is not a panacea, this is a toolbox that must be used. | ||
| You were there and brought 70 of your colleagues over to vote against the Graves-McCarthy-Biden debt ceiling giveaway which has crippled the nation and which they won't even admit, they won't even embrace now. | ||
| You've warned about this day is coming. | ||
| What does this audience, they're looking for guidance, what should this audience do today? | ||
| The next 24 to 48 hours is going to be absolutely critical in this fight. | ||
| Tell us what we should do. | ||
| Yeah, let me lay out the information space for you. | ||
| You're going to see the Uniparty, through Republicans and Democrats of different stripes, advance the proposition that the only thing we can do to save the American economy and avoid certain collapse is to pass a continuing resolution. | ||
| Keep in mind, since the mid-90s, this country has been governed by either continuing resolution or omnibus spending bill. | ||
| And I believe that's why spending is never cut. | ||
| Washington has designed a sophisticated system so that no one person, even the President of the United States, is responsible for the spending and the debt. | ||
| Everyone can just blame everyone else. | ||
| We can bring that era to an end if enough Republicans will say no more. | ||
| Even if we had to endure a partial, short shutdown. | ||
| Keep in mind, if we do our job this week, If we pass the Defense Appropriations Bill, the Homeland Appropriations Bill, the State and Foreign Ops Appropriations Bill, and the Agriculture USDA Appropriations Bill, if we do that by adopting the right amendments... | ||
| that don't fund Ukraine, that don't advance the censorship industrial complex, that don't distribute money absent some ability of states to have work requirements. | ||
| If we get those things sorted out, we would have 73 percent of the discretionary budget funded. | ||
| And so the Senate could take up those bills and pass them. | ||
| They could negotiate on the terms of those bills. | ||
| But we have to own the platform and the paradigm. | ||
| The moment you hear Republicans telling you, well, we just have to have a continuing resolution because that's what will facilitate the rest, know what they are really saying. | ||
| They are reverting to the failed muscle memory that has undermined this country, hollowed out our economy, increased interest rates, and led to a global de-dollarization. | ||
| That is the future that they would bring us to even faster. | ||
| This is our chance to stand and fight. | ||
| We get so few of these. | ||
| I've been in Congress for seven years. | ||
| I'm sick of the way we've been doing it. | ||
| So this is the time to stand and fight and certainly have the back of all of the great thinkers, you know, that have joined us in standing against governing by continuing resolution. | ||
| You're saying this is the moment we can break the fever? | ||
| I'm here to break the fever. | ||
| And if we, by the way, if we start by passing one CR, it will lead to another continuing resolution, and another after that. | ||
| By the way, McCarthy right now has even abandoned his own 30-day CR. | ||
| And he said, well, we can't have a 30-day CR, because then we might have conflict before the Virginia elections. | ||
| And so we have to have a 45-day CR. | ||
| So just think about the rationale that goes behind that. | ||
| That for the sake of political expediency, We would extend the weaponization, funding, and green light for the Biden administration for the sake of our own politics. | ||
| I am here despite politics. | ||
| I am here full well knowing what happens to people who pick these fights and lose. | ||
| But I know that if we surrender, then the country is destined to financial ruin, and I can't be a part of that. | ||
| That 45 days, I'll explain that this afternoon on The Afternoon Show. | ||
| That's a Jeff Yunkin. | ||
| That is a donor class to donor class. | ||
| That's a Yunkin donor class to McCarthy's donors, many of whom the same, to try to promote Yunkin in his run against President Trump. | ||
| I'll break that down this afternoon. | ||
| You've said, sir, that you want to end the theater of failure that is the modern establishment Republican Party. | ||
| What do you mean by that? | ||
| Well, I worry too often that Republican leaders view House conservatives as their coalition partner solely on the things that are facial in nature and frivolous. | ||
| But then when the real act of casting a vision for this government comes into focus, We're not the ones in the room. | ||
| They're working right alongside Chuck Schumer and House Democrats to pass bills like the McCarthy, Garrett Graves, Joe Biden, inaptly named Fiscal Responsibility Act. | ||
| We want to be the coalition partner. | ||
| You'll hear folks on Fox News and on corporate media saying that, you know, me and my band of folks are the far right. | ||
| We're the extremists. | ||
| We're the rebels. | ||
| But the things we're asking for have been celebrated even by folks on the left. | ||
| Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said single-subject spending bills a better way to govern. | ||
| The Young Turks could not take issue with that paradigm, right? | ||
| So I think that we've got an ability to fight for open, honest, transparent government in a way that is just good government. | ||
| And the fact that the Swamp is fighting me so hard on this is the tell. | ||
| That is the signal. | ||
| The fact that they're willing to do almost anything to get in the posture of a continuing resolution. | ||
| So, don't pay attention to the noise. | ||
| The signal is any time you start hearing people talking about a funding extension, but. | ||
| A funding extension, but will gate off a little border money. | ||
| A funding extension, but will gate off a little DOJ money. | ||
| This is no way to run a country. | ||
| This is the time to break the fever. | ||
| No continuing resolutions. | ||
| And then you know what? | ||
| We're going to win some of these amendments and we're going to lose some of these amendments. | ||
| And then we have to decide whether or not passing our bills is better than just giving Joe Biden more leash. | ||
| And that's going to be tough. | ||
| That's going to be tougher than most people have gone through. | ||
| But I think the American people will stand with us if we put them first and vote their interests over the interests of the lobbyists and special interests who just want to centralize power with everyone's walls backed up against shutdown politics that are unpleasant. | ||
| And there will be pain here. | ||
| This may get worse before it gets better. | ||
| You may see Democrats bail out Kevin McCarthy on a variety of fronts, not just on a continuing resolution, but maybe even on a motion to vacate. | ||
| They've signaled a willingness to do that if he bows to their demands. | ||
| So we could end up after this under a bipartisan continuing resolution with Kevin McCarthy still as the sitting speaker, having survived the motion to vacate because he now works for the Democrats. | ||
| That would be an unfortunate outcome, but it may even be the likely outcome. | ||
| I still think we've got to take the puncher's chance to try to shake this place up and do a lot better than we've done the last eight months. | ||
| What's your social media? | ||
| Where do people follow you? | ||
| At Matt Gaetz, at Rep Matt Gaetz, everywhere on the internet. | ||
| We're going to be out there fighting hard. | ||
| Please share our content. | ||
