| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
| Pray for our enemies. | ||
| Because we're going medieval on these people. | ||
| I got a free shot 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 try 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? | |
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | |
| Here's another question. | ||
| You've talked about this bill that you would like to see President Biden sign. | ||
| When will you put that bill, that CR, with the border package on the floor for vote? | ||
| It'll be this week. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd like to possibly, I want to see how fast we can do these bills and then put it on. | |
| Do you need to see these bills done before you put a CR on the floor? | ||
| I'm just looking at the timing. | ||
| I'll work with the leader on the timing. | ||
| Do you think he'll put it on the floor before Saturday? | ||
| Oh yeah, he will before Saturday. | ||
| I just didn't want to give you the exact date. | ||
| Then you come to me. | ||
| If I said Wednesday and we had to do it Thursday because we were doing more. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Mr. Speaker, what continuing resolution will that be? | |
| Will it be the one that you unveiled at committee last week? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I like that one. | |
| And I know there are some other ideas that some people have maybe to add to it a little something or not. | ||
| No, no. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We'll look at what people are talking about. | |
| I think that was about 30 days. | ||
| I think 30, 45, yeah. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You've been reporting on the government shutdowns in the past. | |
| You've been there for that. | ||
| But, Brendan, you've been in the room. | ||
| So you tell me why you think Jake's wrong. | ||
| It's his fault, by the way. | ||
| He caused all these government shutdowns. | ||
| Well, I mean, partially. | ||
| I don't know necessarily what's going to happen. | ||
| I've never seen a situation this, frankly, screwed up. | ||
| But here's what should happen. | ||
| The Senate is giving Kevin McCarthy an off-ramp. | ||
| It was always going to be a very tough pill to swallow to try to jam the House with Ukraine funding. | ||
| I think Senate leaders understood that, and that's why they wisely said, all right, we're going to back off of that. | ||
| Here, Kevin, here is a clean CR. | ||
| You have proven that the House is incapable of passing anything. | ||
| You can't pass continuing resolution to keep the government open with Republican-only votes. | ||
| You can't pass funding bills, which we're going to see this week again. | ||
| They're going to try again to pass funding bills. | ||
| They can't do it. | ||
| It is patently absurd to say that the House is going to be able to pass all of the funding for the rest of the government this week. | ||
| Now, I understand there are People like Matt Gaetz who don't want to do any type of short-term spending bill. | ||
| They want to just stay shut down until all the government is funded. | ||
| That's not going to happen. | ||
| And I think Kevin McCarthy, given this exit ramp, should say, I understand what you want, but that is absurd. | ||
| We're going to keep the government open for 45 days so that we can work on this together. | ||
| The sharks are circling. | ||
| I get it. | ||
| But the weaker you act in this moment, and the more you let them push you around, I think it's only going to excite them. | ||
| So if I'm Kevin McCartney, I say, look, guys, we've been working at this. | ||
| We've been falling on our face for weeks. | ||
| We need some more time to figure this out. | ||
| I'm just going to extend the timeline for us for 45 days. | ||
| That's not a big deal. | ||
| And if Matt Gaetz wants to try to take him out for that, I would stand up tall and say, come on, Matt. | ||
| This is ridiculous, and I think he can win that fight. | ||
| Isn't it kind of insane, though, that we're in a situation where the difference between keeping the lights on and shutting them off is Kevin McCarthy wanting to keep his job? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| That's the situation we found ourselves in. | ||
| But I guess I would argue it doesn't have to be that way. | ||
| And I think Kevin McCarthy can survive a 45-day CR. | ||
| Jake seems to disagree with that. | ||
| Jake, do you think I'm wrong? | ||
| No, I don't disagree. | ||
| Describe it. | ||
| I don't disagree. | ||
| Listen, I think if he were to choose in the unlikely scenario, in my estimation, to listen, I don't disagree with the bulk of what Brendan says, but what I do think is it will be his second step. | ||
| I think he's going to have to show some fight here. | ||
| I think he's going to have to try to get some border provisions into CR. | ||
| I think he's ultimately not going to be successful. | ||
| So let's just get that out of the way. | ||
| But I don't think before September 30th, he's going to take the move of taking that off ramp. | ||
| I just don't think so. | ||
| In my, in my, my guess is that when he eventually has to cave to that reality, that he needs a CR, that he needs a stopgap measure. | ||
| and if he's trying, if people try to kick him out because of that, I have to imagine that there are some Democrats who will either vote to table that motion. | ||
| Tuesday, 26 September in the year of our Lord 2023, breaking news. | ||
| This from Jake Sherman, the team over at Punchbowl. | ||
| They have their hands now on the, in the afternoon edition, their afternoon edition, they have their hands on the Senate Stopgap Funding Bill, the CR. | ||
| Extends it through November 17th, so that's what, 47 days. | ||
| And they give a little kiss to Ukraine, $4.5 billion to Ukraine, $6 billion for FEMA. | ||
| That has not been totally official, but Jake Sherman, the team. | ||
| I want to thank you. | ||
| A congressman from Tennessee, the great state of Tennessee, the volunteer state! | ||
| One of our favorites, the state of General Andrew Jackson. | ||
| Congressman Ogles, thank you. | ||
| It's coming fast and furious. | ||
| You're about to leave here in a few minutes and go over there and it's going to be a kill zone tonight, is it not? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, it's going to be chaotic. | |
| You know, and you know, it's interesting that here we are about to go into votes and the Senate releases kind of their proposal. | ||
| And I keep in mind that when we first started talking about hearing about a CR, it was 30 days. | ||
| It's 30 days, right? | ||
| And then now we come up to the wire and suddenly switches to 45 or 47 days. | ||
| Man, the intellectual dishonesty in this place is just, it's exhausting. | ||
| Like, if you want a 45-day CR, just tell me you want a 45-day CR, and then at the last minute you switch, switch it, right? | ||
| And so, but that, that's how we have to operate. | ||
| If Glenn Youngkin's donors come in and say, hey, we want to mount a fight against Trump and we need a little gap there, just be upfront with us. | ||
| Don't, don't, don't extend the CR another 15 days. | ||
| I want to get in a second. | ||
| I want to talk about what you patriots are fighting for. | ||
| We've got Peter Navarro. | ||
| Peter, you've got an amazing piece, I think, in the Washington Times this afternoon. | ||
| Talk to the nation right now about where we really stand. | ||
| This fight is more than the tactics of a CR and what's going to happen on Saturday night. | ||
| What's really going on here? | ||
| Well, the piece itself in the Washington Times gives a tip of the hat both to you, Steve, and the gentleman sitting next to you in the war room. | ||
| When you listen to the politics Of this on NBC. | ||
| It's all politics. | ||
| What's missing is the broad economic issue by economics is pressing us forward towards falling off a fiscal cliff that will never recover from and the only exit ramp. | ||
| I'm worried about now is the exit ramp a debt ceiling deal will have it's the last exit ramp. | ||
| We can have and that's why it's important. | ||
| For Republicans to hold fast and get a debt limit deal that substantially claws back and rolls back much of the overspending in the three major pieces of Biden economics legislation. | ||
| And nobody's watching there on MSNBC as the stock market over the last month has been careening towards what's going to be a bear market collapse. | ||
| Very soon. | ||
| And Main Street is getting hammered by by dynamics with a fall in real wages and what's soon going to be a rise in unemployment. | ||
| Wall Street's getting hammered. | ||
| Pension funds are getting hammered. | ||
| And this is a situation not seen since the since the 1970s. | ||
| And it's all the product of by nomics. | ||
| And thank God. | ||
| You've got folks standing fast and trying to get something done. | ||
| But I'm telling you, Steve, if it doesn't happen this time, this is our last chance. | ||
| And Donald Trump's going to get elected in 2024 and take office in 2025. | ||
| Yeah, we don't have time. | ||
| But by that time, the mess they're going to hand Donald Trump is going to be very, very difficult to unwind. | ||
| This is the time. | ||
| Peter, we're going to bounce here in a second, but I want you to tell the nation, tell the audience, what will happen if Ogles and Rosendale and Boebert and Annapolina Luna, if they don't hold the line here, these patriots, they don't hold the line. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And you go back to the rhinos, you go back to the, you go back to the mods, you go back to the Democrats, you go back to Biden. | ||
| What's going to happen here? | ||
| What's going to happen is this. | ||
| In terms of your wealth preservation and pensions and all of that, forget about it. | ||
| We're going to have a massive market correction and then 10 years of flat returns that are going to make it so it's going to be impossible to retire. | ||
| So there is that. | ||
| At the same time, we're in a situation where the debt that we're expanding on is going to hit We're at 33 trillion now. | ||
| It's going to 40 and up to 50. | ||
| What happens, Steve, is that all of the interest we're going to have to pay to service that debt is going to crowd out everything the government normally does, whether it's Medicare, Social Security, defense, transportation, education, whatever it is. | ||
| There's not going to be any money. | ||
| So the government's not going to work for us. | ||
| Wall Street's not going to work for us. | ||
| We're screwed. | ||
| This country is absolutely screwed. | ||
| Two trillion dollars. | ||
| We've told everybody this deficit was going to be two trillion dollars. | ||
| They've got to finance that. | ||
| Plus, there's eight trillion that is rolling over from virtual zero interest rates, 500 basis point increase. | ||
| The service on the debt is going to be a trillion dollars before when we're back here next September. | ||
| Peter, how did they get the article? | ||
| How did they get to you on your sub-sac? | ||
| Your market summary? | ||
| Yeah, Representative Ogles, get this to all your colleagues. | ||
| It gives you guys a real strong pat on the back. | ||
| PeterNavar.Substack.com. | ||
| PeterNavar.Substack.com. | ||
| And it's up on the Washington Times. | ||
| I mean, read that thing. | ||
| Get it out there. | ||
| It's the only thing that's going to make any sense to any of these people. | ||
| I call out Kevin McCarthy flat out for being the fishy co-conspirator. | ||
| With the RINOs and the Democrats for getting us into this mess. | ||
| I watched him in that clip. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That dude's aged about 10 years since the last time I see him. | |
| His days are numbered as the Speaker of the House. | ||
| But we've got to get this deal. | ||
| Hold fast, Representative Ogles. | ||
| And you guys, it's the magnificent 18 at this point. | ||
| You've got to just hold fast, brother. | ||
| Mo and Grace, let's push the Washington Times piece out, but Dr. Navarro, Dr. Navarro, thank you. | ||
| We'll all go to your sub-stack for all your analysis. | ||
| Thanks, brother. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| Thanks, brother. | ||
| Do the folks back in your district understand the stakes of what you're fighting for for them here right now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, they may not understand, like, the in-the-weeds talk that you and I might get into just because we live this day in and day out, but I will say, you know, part of this is about keeping your work. | |
| You know, in January we came up with terms that this is how this place is going to operate, that we're going to fix it, right? | ||
| That we pass 12 appropriations bills. | ||
| So my question to anyone, anyone in leadership, is when the waning hours of July were approaching, that we're facing the August work period. | ||
| It's called the August work period. | ||
| Why didn't we stay here and finish? | ||
| Like, we made a promise to the American people that we would do this, but what happened? | ||
| We were sent home. | ||
| And not only were we sent home for August, but the first week of September. | ||
| So we were set up to fail. | ||
| There was never any intention to pass all the 12 of the appropriations. | ||
| Is that what you believe? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| There was no way we could get that done. | ||
| You had two of them still stuck in committee. | ||
| Right? | ||
| And so, now here we are, we've got, you know, our backs are up against the wall, and so now we're told, well, we have to do the CR, and if we don't do the CR, you know, the Senate's going to jam us. | ||
| The Senate's going to jam us anyway. | ||
| So how about we keep our word to the American people that we passed 12 appropriations bills, that we set the standard for spending, that we control the conversation on the border, and the polling is with us. | ||
| And so why should we back down? | ||
| I mean, I made a promise, and so Sunday night, I had a town hall in Williamson County. | ||
| It was packed, and over and over again, it was like, hold the line, hold the line, and shut it down if you have to. | ||
| Really? | ||
| They had your back? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| And shut it down if it's got to? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it should be noted, President Trump has our backs. | |
| I mean, he's put it out there. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| I want to go to the Appropriations Bill. | ||
| The way you actually, if you believe in limited government, and you believe in fiscal responsibility, the way, the path through that is through these appropriations bills. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And look, I recognize we don't have the Senate. | |
| I recognize we don't have the White House. | ||
| We only have the House of Representatives. | ||
| But I can't control what the Senate does. | ||
| I can't control what the White House may or may not do. | ||
| I mean, look, the man gets lost in the Rose Garden. | ||
| We have a job to do. | ||
| Right? | ||
| The House of Representatives, we're supposed to pass 12 appropriations bills. | ||
| We're supposed to find ways to cut spending. | ||
| And by the way, where's the January 6th tapes? | ||
| Those were promised. | ||
| We talked about a debt commission. | ||
| Where's the debt commission? | ||
| Why aren't we getting into the weeds and digging deep, figuring out where we can cut, instead of placating to a Senate that's looking to jam us? | ||
| And by the way, that deal coming out of the Senate will be a McConnell rubber stamp bill. 100% right. What do your constituents think about Ukraine spending, spending another four, we've got to cut two trillion dollars to get to a balanced budget here, a four billion dollars which is going to lead into 24 billion to Ukraine. So I think a lot of folks don't don't fully get why we may or may not be in Ukraine, but what they do understand is that our southern border is flooded. What they do get is that we | ||
| have veterans at a disproportionate rate of homelessness and mental illness and they're not getting services. | ||
| And so, look, before I protect somebody else's border, I should be protecting my own. | ||
| And so, look, it's not America alone, but it is America first. | ||
| I mean, that seems — I always use it in my town halls. | ||
| Look, we have a small farm. | ||
| I've got an old 1960s Ford tractor. | ||
| We live on a hill. | ||
| The brakes work most of the time. | ||
| I'd really like a new tractor. | ||
| But if my roof is leaking, I should probably fix my roof first, right? | ||
| Congressman Ogles from Tennessee is going to be with us on the other side. | ||
| We're going to show the dirty tricks that are being played in this town right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
in the world. | |
| We have Rogan O'Hanley, D.C. | ||
| Drano. | ||
| D.C., thank you very much for joining us. | ||
| I'm here with Congressman Ogles. | ||
| I've heard throughout the day that there's push polling going on in districts, that they're trying to intimidate these heroes that are stepping up and standing up. | ||
| For limited government and fiscal responsibility and fiscal sanity, but they're also going out to influencers, major people like yourselves and others, to say, hey, we will actually pay you. | ||
| I understand one of the companies reaching out is Notorious LLC. | ||
| They're reaching out to people say, hey, we'll pay you to put up negative stuff on Gates and these congressmen that are holding the line. | ||
| Is there any truth to that rumor? | ||
| I am one of the people that received one of those messages. | ||
| Let me say it's an honor to be on the war room, Congressman Ogles. | ||
| Love what you're doing up there. | ||
| But yeah, so I received this message about an hour ago and posted about it. | ||
| I replied to them saying, no, thank you. | ||
| I'm not interested. | ||
| I stand with Matt Gaetz. | ||
| I stand with the other few dozen representatives that are holding the line. | ||
| It's something that was promised to the American people when McCarthy was getting the speaker vote. | ||
| When we conceded that vote to him, he said we're going to have single-issue spending bills, and we haven't gotten it. | ||
| This CR is a relic from before the GOP took over. | ||
| They negotiated this terrible omnibus bill. | ||
| And now they want to keep kicking the can down the road. | ||
| We want single-issue spending bills. | ||
| And this organization, you know, I assume is a McCarthy proxy. | ||
| I tried to get the amounts that they wanted to pay. | ||
| They wouldn't tell me, probably because I blew them up on Twitter already. | ||
| But, you know, this is actually the first time that the Republican Party has reached out to influencers. | ||
| They never did this before. | ||
| They only want to do it when it comes to screwing the American people. | ||
| And, you know, our financial situation as a country. | ||
| I just want to make sure. | ||
| The send-out, we've gotten this from a couple of other influencers we're going to get on, I think, tomorrow morning, that said they were about putting out negative tweets and basically trolling these heroes. | ||
| This is the first time you've ever seen this take place? | ||
| This is the first time I've ever seen this take place from what I assume is something close to the Republican Party. | ||
| Or GOP leadership. | ||
| There are plenty of organizations that reach out for advocacy positions to sell, you know, merch products. | ||
| I mean, you know, you got a lot of eyeballs just like you have on the war room. | ||
| But this, what I've seen, the people I've seen that have received this, it's myself who have over a million on Twitter. | ||
| It's Juanita Broderick who has 900,000 on Twitter. | ||
| It's Gunther Eagleman who has a lot. | ||
| And also they've been hitting up people on Instagram. | ||
| I know The typical liberal got hit up. | ||
| He's got over 2.7 million followers. | ||
| So they're just going after the biggest accounts they can find and not really doing their research as to who's on their side or not because when it comes to the grassroots influencers, the biggest names, they all support what Matt Gaetz is doing. | ||
| That's kind of sloppy due diligence on Notorious' part. | ||
| Well, no. | ||
| I think it's because they don't know the caliber of character that you folks have. | ||
| They think a lot of you guys are just mercenaries. | ||
| I mean, Gunther is, Gunther, we're trying to get on here. | ||
| He has confirmed that your story, same thing happened to him. | ||
| And Rogan, you guys are the biggest MAGA influencers. | ||
| I mean, you guys are hardcore MAGA. | ||
| Of course, you gotta remember, in the McCarthy world, in the world of the cartel in Washington, D.C., everybody's got a price. | ||
| Everybody's for sale, right? | ||
| So that's what they don't think anything about. | ||
| They're just trying to come out and kind of give you a bid and see if you take it. | ||
| What I'm amazed at is the strength of character of the MAGA influence saying, what are you talking about? | ||
| We 100% support Ogles and these guys. | ||
| Rogan, how do people follow you? | ||
| You put this up on Twitter already. | ||
| How do people follow you on social media? | ||
| Yeah, DC Drano on all the platforms. | ||
| I'm on Getter, I'm on Truth. | ||
| But, you know, I'll say just one thing as a, you know, quote unquote MAGA Influencer. | ||
| We have nothing except our word and our reputations. | ||
| And so we will never sell out because If there's one rule that I live by that I know a lot of other people live by, you never cross the base. | ||
| And I wish people in Congress would take the hint, too. | ||
| It's not worth the $5,000 to look like a sellout to the American people. | ||
| Rogan O'Hanley, incredible. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Honored to have you on the show. | ||
| Thank you for having me on. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, thank you. | |
| Big fan. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Huge fan. | ||
| That's what this city's about. | ||
| Right there. | ||
| It encapsulates it. | ||
| You're taking a principled stand as a principled conservative about fiscal sanity, getting out all this programmatically, the madness that we have in these budgets, and really fighting for limited government. | ||
| And they will actually go To young people who believe what you believe and try to buy them off to put negative stuff up in your and make sure they push it into your district to try to hurt you politically. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, and again, I guess they don't understand the resolve. | |
| You know, again, the deal wasn't we'd pass one, have two stuck in committee, and then have a few others that would linger on the desk. | ||
| No, the deal was we'd pass 12 appropriations bills. | ||
| And I still go back to, I advocated we stay in August. | ||
| I mean, we made a commitment to the American people. | ||
| And if working weekends and long days and long nights is the price for keeping your word, Then that's what we should do. | ||
| Look, if you're trying to pay your bills, you've got a mortgage, you take an extra job, right? | ||
| You do what it takes to feed your family. | ||
| You honor that commitment that you've made to your family. | ||
| Well, we made that same type of commitment to the American people, and I'm going to fight like hell to keep it. | ||
| And so there's no point in backing down now. | ||
| And look, it's not my fault that we went home in August. | ||
| I advocated that we stay. | ||
| We could have finished and finished on time, but we didn't. | ||
| And that's on leadership. | ||
| Give the audience a little background of you. | ||
| You went to one of the wildest primaries, but we've known you. | ||
| You've been on Breitbart Radio years ago as mayor. | ||
| Talk, give a little bit about your background, because you really have a strong grassroots base. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, so, you know, early in my career, I had a couple of small restaurants. | |
| My wife and I flipped houses before it was kind of a cool thing to do. | ||
| I dated my wife in high school and college, but we waited 12 years to have kids. | ||
| So working 80 hours a week was just what you did. | ||
| We were trying to get ahead. | ||
| She wanted to see if this thing worked out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I want to see if I really know this guy. | |
| But all that to say is, you know, we were reasonably successful young. | ||
| And so I really got involved in politics and actually helped Newt Gingrich in his presidential race, travel the country. | ||
| From there, went on to work for Americans for Prosperity, which is the kind of the Koch political operation. | ||
| So low taxes, less government. | ||
| And so that's where I'm rooted in. | ||
| And then I ended up being the county executive. | ||
| And in the state of Tennessee, your county executive or your county mayors are like many governors. | ||
| So during COVID, we had the authority for the mandates and masks. | ||
| And I just refused to comply. | ||
| This is a free country. | ||
| You're a big boy. | ||
| You don't need me to tell you to take your medicine or not take your medicine. | ||
| You don't need me to tell you to wear a mask or not wear a mask. | ||
| That's up to you. | ||
| I chose not to be vaccinated, but that's my choice because this is America, and it still is, and you should be able to make that decision for yourself. | ||
| When there was pressure to shut down the state, I launched a statewide tour called the Freedom Matters Tour, and I encouraged other county executives to not fall in line and to obey the Constitution and obey state law and simply say no. | ||
| Like, show me in code where I have the authority to do that. | ||
| It didn't exist, ergo I would not do it. | ||
| A lot of people talk about limited government. | ||
| A lot of people talk about fiscal responsibility. | ||
| Isn't that what this entire single issue appropriations bills are not? | ||
| To get to the bottom of how we do these cuts, because the Washington Post has a huge story by Jeff Stein, who's a brilliant economics writer, but it's going through everything that's going to be cut. | ||
| The sobbing's already started. | ||
| They say Ogles and these guys even want more cuts. | ||
| But to get to limited government, we have to go through this process. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And yes, we want more cuts. | |
| I mean, we have $33 trillion in debt. | ||
| We're spending seven. | ||
| We're only taking in five. | ||
| I mean, this is unsustainable to have these kind of deficits. | ||
| But that being said, I mean, when you look at the appropriations process, it's kind of like a Christmas tree. | ||
| That's how D.C. | ||
| operates. | ||
| Like, you put all the pretty ornaments out front and the cracked and broken ornaments that nobody wants to see you put in the back. | ||
| The problem is, though, is when you're voting, you have to vote on all the bad stuff as well. | ||
| And so with a single issue, If you're talking about Department of Defense, it's only Department of Defense. | ||
| If you're talking about State and Foreign Affairs, it's only State and Foreign Ops, right? | ||
| And so, now you can really get into the weeds and find those areas to cut. | ||
| And look, let's be honest, there's not enough discretionary funding that we can cut our way out of this problem. | ||
| We have to grow our economy out of this problem, but we should cut where we can. | ||
| We should hold the line on spending, because the current trend is going to bankrupt this country. | ||
| And some would argue, we're already there, that we're just living on borrowed credit. | ||
| This is why I want to get Peter's piece out to everybody, because we talk about stagflation in the 70s, this low growth, the lost decades ahead of us are going to be like Japan or like China's going through. | ||
| And it's the crowding out. | ||
| We have $10 trillion. | ||
| We have $8 trillion we have to refinance in the capital markets. | ||
| And we have $2 trillion deficits. | ||
| And now it looks structurally, unless you guys are successful, it's $2 trillion going forward. | ||
| That crowding out effect guarantees that we're going to get into a 1% or 2% growth, which is really no growth at all. | ||
| This is the problem, right? | ||
| We've got inflation, you've now got interest rates are going to be the floor and even going to be pushed up because of refinancing government debt at 500 basis points higher than we barred it at. | ||
| We're in a very vicious cycle and it's going to take true Absolutely. | ||
| to do this. Before we go to break, I'd like to hold you for a few minutes. The people that you talk to at your town hall on Sunday night, do they get how important a moment this is to try to break the fever in Washington, D.C.? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. Keep in mind, it was a Sunday night. People have to go to work the next day. It was Sunday night football. | |
| Uh, and you know, I had 120 plus at the event to talk about the economy to get an update on where we are in the appropriations process and the fact that we're probably going to have to shut it down. | ||
| And quite frankly, I was told overwhelmingly to shut it down because we have to change. | ||
| It's all about muscle memory, right? | ||
| You know, the last time we passed budgets, discretionary spending under regular order was 1997. | ||
| I mean, so most members of Congress don't even know or remember what that looks like. | ||
| And so what we're trying to do is say, look, We're going to win the Senate in 24, if we keep our word. | ||
| We're going to win the White House. | ||
| Donald Trump is going to be president. | ||
| And so let's get into the weeds. | ||
| Let's start today for these fights that we know we have upcoming in the next number of years. | ||
| But that's how we save the Republic. | ||
| And yes, it's bleak. | ||
| And yes, we're going to be attacked. | ||
| And yes, they're running push polls in our district. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Imagine what the Founding Fathers went through when they were facing the British Empire. | ||
| There were times when the night was dark, right? | ||
| But they never gave up. | ||
| And we can't give up. | ||
| And it's up to you to reach out to your representative, to encourage them, and to challenge them, and to maybe chastise them if they're not fighting the good fight. | ||
| 202-225-3121 is that number that Congressman Ogles is talking about. | ||
| Take a short commercial break. | ||
| We'll return in The Word in just a moment. | ||

|
Because 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- Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Okay, with Congressman Ana Paulina Luna on deck, we're gonna finish up here with Ogoz. | ||
| It's very important to you. | ||
| To keep your word. | ||
| You've gotten here and you're saying this is important. | ||
| You've made a commitment. | ||
| McCarthy made a commitment. | ||
| You think the people back home need to see that you guys can keep your commitments? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, and I think not only that, but but if you are allies overseas, you know, we made a promise to the American people. | |
| And how are we going to keep that promise? | ||
| Are we really going to change the way Washington, D.C. | ||
| operates, or is it simply status quo? | ||
| Is it wash, rinse, repeat over and over and over again? | ||
| And so if you're Japan and you're looking to see, are we going to keep, you know, is Congress going to keep its word to its own people? | ||
| Can we trust that they'll keep their word to us? | ||
| Because there is an inevitable conflict coming. | ||
| Now, whether that's economic, whether that's cyber, whatever it is, CCP is on the move primarily because we're weak, primarily because we have a feckless administration. | ||
| That being said, you know, I believe that this current administration is actually, you know, it is the third term of Barack Hussein Obama, and he wants to keep Biden in the White House because he'll be, it'll be a fourth term, right? | ||
| So it's incumbent upon us to unite. | ||
| I would call all of the candidates in the Republican primary to drop out and to endorse Trump. | ||
| Because the sooner we unify and sooner we identify the enemy, and the enemy is this place, it is Biden and the regime, then we can go to war with those who are trying to destroy us. | ||
| And I honestly believe that this current administration, this CR, is an attempt to destroy the American people, the morale of the American people, and I'm not going to stand for it. | ||
| I'm a no. | ||
| I'm a hard no. | ||
| Give me the J6 tapes. | ||
| Give me that debt commission. | ||
| Let's defund Jack Smith. | ||
| Let's defund Mayorkas. | ||
| Let's do the things that we promised we were going to do and let's not back down because we're getting a little bit of political pressure. | ||
| People want to follow you and already tell from the chat room. | ||
| What's your social media? | ||
| How do they find out more about you and follow you? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Just go to Facebook, Andy Ogles, Rep Ogles. | |
| Pretty easy to find and pretty vocal. | ||
| Shout out to my good buddy Luna there, because she's a true warrior as well. | ||
| She's a little outspoken too. | ||
| That's what I love about these youngins. | ||
| Real quickly, we're going to let you go, but I want to have you back on. | ||
| People may not know this, but you're one of the smartest people about Taiwan and what's happening there and the Filipinos today. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| You know, the sole existential threat to the United States of America, other than our own debt, is China. | ||
| Hands down, period. | ||
| The Philippines Navy said that it's not for them, they cut the course. | ||
| There's going to be a lot of action in the South China Sea, the Straits of Taiwan. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| You know, the sole existential threat to the United States of America, other than our own debt, is China. | ||
| Hands down, period. | ||
| And if we don't get serious about that, we're sealing our own fate. | ||
| Congressman, honored to have you on here. | ||
| I know the folks back there are honored to have you as their congressman. | ||
| Love the state of Tennessee, got some fire breathers out there. | ||
| Anna Paulina Luna, Congressman, you've had a chance to see, I guess, Nate Sherman and the guys over at Punchbowl, or Jake Sherman, have seen the Senate proposal. | ||
| It's got, I think, four and a half billion in Ukraine, another couple of billion for Maui. | ||
| But how does this thing sit with you, a CR? | ||
| I mean, when I saw that tweet come out that said McConnell, of course, anything that McConnell endorses, you want to do the exact opposite of. | ||
| So they're saying that the Senate's trying to jam us with an additional upwards of $6 billion in funding for Ukraine. | ||
| First of all, I represent citizens in the United States of America, not Ukraine. | ||
| And second of all, when you have the entire government completely just inept, we've lost funding. | ||
| We can't even track half of what's going on through the Pentagon. | ||
| But then you have this coming out with this endless war that's seeming to take place. | ||
| And then you find out that literally the first family sitting in the White House, so Biden's family has in some capacity benefited from Burisma and Ukraine via payments through Hunter Biden and their shell companies. | ||
| Of course, we don't want to support it. | ||
| But what's even crazier to me, Steve, is that you have somewhat of this surrogate proxy war that we're starting to see happen on social media. | ||
| And so I'm really proud of the influencers that are standing behind those of us who are against the CR, because a vote for a CR is a vote to fund a weaponized government against the American people to help Joe Biden, and we're simply not for it. | ||
| We had D.C. | ||
| Drainer, Rogan O'Hanley joined us. | ||
| We're going to have Gunther on, I think, Thursday or Friday. | ||
| They've already been reached out to by McCarthy's people to negative post on you and the other patriots that are standing up. | ||
| Also, they're doing push polls in your district, give you phony numbers that they're popular and you're not. | ||
| What's your response to leadership about trying to pull these underhanded tricks to try to get you guys to break? | ||
| You know, I'm really disappointed to see that. | ||
| And what I can tell you is for those of us that are true believers and that are in Washington, not for our own personal benefit, not for financial interests, but for the pure fact that we love this country, we're going to do the right thing. | ||
| That doesn't scare us. | ||
| And I think that a lot of those that are coming around to include other members that didn't engage in the Speaker's fight, but you're seeing even support from members like Corey Mills that are saying, look, we are worried about the future of this country. | ||
| You know, Steve, I just had a son. | ||
| And when I see these people voting the way that they're worth $33 trillion in debt and you have Congress sitting there trying to say a CR is good. | ||
| They've been doing this since God, my goodness Eve, I think I was in elementary school. | ||
| And yet they want to keep pushing the same things over and over again. | ||
| And I'm tired of it. | ||
| And I think a lot of my colleagues are as well. | ||
| And so, you know, they're going to try to label us the same way, but it's good to see that even some people in the media, the corporate media at least, are buying it and are on our side. And all I ask is that, if you are watching this show, that you make your voices heard to your representative, because this is a serious fight. And if we continue to go down the same path, we're not going to change anything. | ||
| This country is gone. | ||
| The number is 202-225-3121. | ||
| Make sure you call and let your representative hear your opinion. | ||
| Congressman, you were the longest of long shots, and the way you won is you walked your district multiple times and knocked on every door and had a conversation with people because you really had no money to run. | ||
| What are your constituents telling you now about this fight? | ||
| You know, we talked to over 50,000 people in the district. | ||
| That's how many doors we knocked. | ||
| We didn't hire people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay. | |
| So we really did pound the pavement. | ||
| And what I can tell you is my district is composed of people that are really working hard to put food on their table. | ||
| You know, a poll came out and actually found out that because of Biden inflation, that the American family has had to spend an individual has had to spend 9,000 more than they typically would on groceries. | ||
| And so people, you know, they look at Washington, they're frustrated because They see the corruption that exists out of this administration, and they simply want us to do the right thing, at least do our jobs, be representatives, and make the voices heard. | ||
| Frankly, people are supportive of my position in the sense that we are going to hold government accountable. | ||
| We want those 12 single-subject spending bills because it specifies where the money goes. | ||
| That's the whole point of Congress, the power of the purse. | ||
| And so I'm really applauding Representative Gates's efforts in all this because he's really the brainchild behind it. | ||
| Tell me, over the next couple of days, the pressure, I don't think the audience fully understands the pressure behind the scenes that's being applied to you patriots, particularly the ones that stood up in January, and also then stood up in the debt ceiling. | ||
| This is your third time at it. | ||
| Just give our audience a taste of what it's like behind the scenes, of the pressure that's being put on you. | ||
| Well, I think really what it is, is it's the national messaging war, right? | ||
| You have those of us that don't want to go along with this reckless spending, again, we're $33 trillion in debt, and yet they try to brand us as extreme, the face of the shutdown, that somehow if the government comes together and talks and says, hey, we're not necessarily going to go along with this reckless spending, and actually comes up with those single subject spending bills, that somehow we are going to be responsible for the chaos in this country, when in actuality what we're trying to do is we're trying to stop the weaponized government | ||
| against the American people. | ||
| This just straight up up and down vote with all this pork in the CR is not really how you fund a country in a responsible fashion. | ||
| It was interesting because Elon Musk had posted a tweet less than I think 24 hours ago, basically saying that we're resembling Rome. | ||
| And unfortunately, because of some of the corruption we're seeing out of Washington, it does feel like that. | ||
| And so, you know, I've been using my platform and my megaphone to try to educate people on what's really happening. | ||
| And I do have faith that I think that we're going to win. | ||
| But when you see stuff with McConnell coming out, acting like the Sith Lord over there in the Senate, you know, that's exactly why we have to take a hard position. | ||
| And so we're not going to cave. | ||
| Do you have any thoughts that if, because you hear about the moderates, you hear about the Problem Solvers Caucus, if somehow the Democrats take control of the floor in the House and somehow are able to push through with a handful of Republicans, ACR, what would you say the odds of Speaker McCarthy's speakership, the longevity of it, what would you say it is? | ||
| Frankly, I think that there are some very frustrated people that would reconsider that position. | ||
| But what I will tell you this, Steve, is that I don't know that some of those moderates would get through a re-election if they did that. | ||
| Because remember, it's a Republican that has to vote them into that position. | ||
| And so how can you defend a position where you're essentially funding a weaponized government and assisting Joe Biden? | ||
| And honestly, I'll say it straight up. | ||
| I think Mitch McConnell is compromised. | ||
| I think that he got to his position of power for being corrupt. | ||
| And I frankly think that he stopped working for the American people a long time ago. | ||
| And so how could you defend that position and expect to survive re-election? | ||
| So I think a lot of those people are going to have to think long and hard as to whether or not they want to cut a deal with the Democrats when you realize that we're essentially fighting a weaponized government right now. | ||
| Congressman Ana Paulina Luna, how do people follow you on social media, particularly this week when it's going to be as hot and tough and nasty as it's ever been in Washington, D.C.? | ||
| How do people get to you? | ||
| You can follow me on my official accounts at Rep Luna and then on my personal accounts at Real Ana Paulina. | ||
| Can we get an update on your young son? | ||
| The audience always asks when you come on here. | ||
| Can you give us an update? | ||
| Yeah, so he's doing well. | ||
| He gained three pounds. | ||
| I was very happy about that. | ||
| And actually, my husband and I ended up writing a kid's book in the last six months. | ||
| And so it actually came out in the past couple of weeks for signed copies. | ||
| But Newsweek actually did a hit piece on it and basically didn't like the fact that Biden is a banana in our book. | ||
| So it's called The Legends of Naranja. | ||
| And you'll see it right here. | ||
| And I assume you can Imagine who the orange is, but it's about a Biden that steals a race, and you'll have to get the book to figure out the end of it. | ||
| Well, we will make sure we promote that hard. | ||
| Thank you very much. | ||
| Honored to have you on here as usual. | ||
| Fight on. | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| Two very tough people right there that are getting it behind the scenes. | ||
| Think about what we found out today. | ||
| They're doing push polls, which are really kind of these phony polls and going into calling some of the people we have in here all the time and saying, you know, Kevin McCarthy is so overwhelmingly popular. | ||
| In your district and Gates and what Gates stands for is unpopular. | ||
| People don't want to shut down the government. | ||
| Don't want to define me. | ||
| They ask the questions in the in the way that they get the response. | ||
| So all that's a lie and they're going to, you know, you're not going to get reelected. | ||
| You're going to get primaried if you do this, then they've gone out to the best. | ||
| The best influencers out there, the people with the most followers, and the reason they have most followers, these are MAGA through and through. | ||
| And they try to buy them off. | ||
| They try to have MAGA influencers, for pay, put up posts that would be derogatory to individuals, like Gates and these other congressmen, and also derogatory to the righteous cause they fight for, which is limited government and fiscal sanity. | ||
| If we don't do it here, if we don't break the fever, the fever's not going to break. | ||
| If you just continue to do the same thing, it's going to continue. | ||
| Remember, what they don't like to talk about is the $2 trillion that are facing that has to be financed, this deficit, and structurally going forward, unless it's addressed now, plus what has to be refinanced as the government bonds and government notes come due at dramatically higher interest rates, sometimes 500 basis points higher. | ||
| Where the interest starts to suck up such a big portion of the $5 trillion that comes in. | ||
| Remember, $5 trillion comes in because of Trump's tax cuts. | ||
| So now we have $5 trillion. | ||
| But unfortunately, cash out is $7 trillion. | ||
| That gap, that's this fight, this town is about money and power. | ||
| And this week you're going to get the distilled version of that. | ||
| You're going to get the ether. | ||
| This is it right now. | ||
| And the great thing about this process, it's going to expose who's real and who's not real. | ||
| Who's actually for limited government? | ||
| Who is actually for fiscal sanity? | ||
| Who is for monetary reform? | ||
| Who believes in the sovereignty of this nation and the sovereignty of her citizens? | ||
| Because every day, drip by drip, your sovereignty is seeping away. | ||
| We're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to be back in the war room in just a moment. | ||
