Do other Republicans feel the same way you do? | |
| They're just not willing to say it out loud? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I have talked to a number of people who have come up to me and almost whispered, thank you. | ||
| Whispered? | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Why are they so afraid? | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| What are they afraid of? | ||
| The Republicans who are going to vote against Jim Jordan on the second ballot, which will be more Republicans. | ||
| More? | ||
| More. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Want the cover of saying, I voted for Jim Jordan, but now it's time to move on. | ||
| The problem is, they are afraid of a primary. | ||
| The calls that are coming in are ridiculous. | ||
| They're in the hundreds, if not thousands, that are coming into every office right now. | ||
| The grassroots campaign is very strong for Jim Jordan. | ||
| And that's because of the far-right activists that are pushing this, the political operatives like Hannity, etc.? | ||
| I would say right, not far-right, being on the right, but yes. | ||
| I would say yes, there are conservative activist groups that are calling in across the country. | ||
| The pro-Trump MAGA wing of the party is exerting a lot of pressure to make exactly that happen. | ||
| Axios reports there's been a massive push to get House Republicans to unify around Jordan, including calls to member offices. | ||
| Conservative TV hosts ramping up the pressure on skeptics and MAGA influencers taking aim at hesitant members on social media. | ||
| Axios also obtained this note, a producer for Fox News host Sean Hannity emailed to Republican congressional staffers over the weekend, quote, sources tell Hannity that the representative is not supporting Jim Jordan for speaker. | ||
| Can you please let me know if this is accurate? | ||
| And if true, Hannity would like to know why. | ||
| During the war breaking out between Israel and Hamas, with the war in Ukraine, with the wide open borders, with a budget that's unfinished, why would the representative be against Jim Jordan for Speaker? | ||
| Please let us know when the representative plans on opening the people's house so work can be done! | ||
| Get back to me whenever. | ||
| We're just asking questions. | ||

|
It's a whipping operation. | |
| Caucus has set itself on fire, a hazard of playing with matches. | ||
| Now, area arsonist Jim Jordan is revving up the GOP media outrage machine to try and bully his fellow House Republicans to vote for him. | ||
| But the problem with being a pyromaniac is that fire is exceedingly hard to control. | ||
| The election denying Jordan unsurprisingly got the endorsement of Trump who questioned the health of Steve Scalise the same day he beat Jordan for the GOP speaker nomination. | ||
| And shortly before he withdrew from the race, Republicans who are Put up as potential challengers are immediately attacked by pro-Trump accounts like Elon Musk's favorite at-end wokeness. | ||
| The thinking here is that Jordan, his allies and supporters can do kind of a French Revolution style shtick to get him the gavel. | ||
| Can Jordan steamroll reluctant Republicans into becoming speaker? | ||
| Could voting for a right-wing bomb thrower like Jordan scare off potential GOP voters in swing districts and risk the House in 2024? | ||
| It's hard to see a Jordan speakership not leading to a more Fox-friendly stunts and impeachment hearings. | ||
| And my guess is Republicans would be better off politically in 2024 by not getting what they want here, But then again, pyromaniacs like to watch the world burn. | ||
| Molly, I'll just finish off your point. | ||
| By saying, you know, this is a really bad time not to have a speaker, not that there's ever a good time. | ||
| It's just completely self-destructive behavior, and I'll go where Joe always goes. | ||
| Republicans seem to love losing in the long run. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Well, I also think this Republican Party has been so burn-it-all-down, right? | ||
| The caucus is the burn-it-all-down caucus. | ||
| They were trying to prove that government doesn't work, but the problem is you work in government. | ||
| And so we see Jim Jordan desperately trying to whip these votes. | ||
| And I think it's important to remember, like, the job of speaker is both to whip votes, and then it's also to raise money and help win more seats in 24th. | ||
| And Jim Jordan seems uniquely unqualified to do both these things. | ||
| Okay, Wednesday, 18 October, Year of Our Lord 2023. | ||
| It is game day at 11 o'clock. | ||
| They're going to have a historic vote, and it's a total, complete meltdown. | ||
| Here in the Imperial Capitol. | ||
| We've got quite a lineup that's going to roll us up to the 11 o'clock historic vote. | ||
| We're starting with Congressman Matt Rosendale. | ||
| Congressman Rosendale was not only part of the Magnificent Six, he was part of the Hard Eight. | ||
| Where do we stand right now? | ||
| This is the fight we've always won. | ||
| This is between MAGA or the people, right? | ||
| The grassroots and the people versus the way the city works, the appropriators, the money. | ||
| And they're dug in hard. | ||
| They are dug in hard. | ||
| We reduced their size to be able to have a vote on the floor yesterday and have 200 votes secured for Jim Jordan and only 20 outliers. | ||
| I honestly was very, very pleased to see that. | ||
| But there's definitely a stark line drawn between who represents the people and who represents the system. | ||
| Let's talk about John Boehner, and of course Newt Gingrich came out overnight and said, oh gosh, these are the same guys that did it back in January. | ||
| Said the chaos is so terrible, the anarchy is so bad, we need to empower McHenry. | ||
| We need to empower the bow tie with Hakeem Jeffries. | ||
| The alternative deal they're going to lay out on the table. | ||
| is a deal with the Democrats that essentially lets the appropriators govern, right? | ||
| It's a restoration of McCarthy and the lobbyists. | ||
| And what we saw, this is exactly what we fought against in January, so hard to redistribute the power back out to the members, okay? | ||
| Back out to Congress. | ||
| A lot of that speakers' battle was not just about Kevin. | ||
| Yeah, it was about Kevin McCarthy. | ||
| No, it was procedure. | ||
| But it was about procedure. | ||
| And we have witnessed the consolidation of power over the last 15 to 18 years into the hands of the Speaker. | ||
| So why in the world would, after we broke that, would we want to come back and empower, give more powers to a Speaker pro tem, someone who was not even elected by the body of Congress? | ||
| That is foolish and dangerous, quite frankly. | ||
| And it also shows the restoration of the entire power of the central organization through the appropriations. | ||
| You've got appropriations, armed services, and a couple of moderates thrown in there. | ||
| Really, the imperial industrial complex. | ||
| The calls, the emails, the calls to the local offices, when you see people get up in their grill, that's all helped, right? | ||
| They're on TV not saying, oh, this is terrible, it's been counterproductive. | ||
| Byron Donaldson, they're going, it's counterproductive. | ||
| To me, how can you complain about people trying to secure votes for Jim Jordan, but yet promote it and tout it and proclaim it as, quite frankly, Newt Gingrich did, and John Boehner did, and Mark Levin did, and shall I go on, when they were trying to keep Kevin McCarthy in office, for Pete's sakes. | ||
| So then it was okay, but now it's absolutely terrible. | ||
| This is the people speaking. | ||
| And I think that it's more valuable and more necessary now to allow the people to speak and to let their words be heard. | ||
| This is going to go, this is not going to end. | ||
| At 11 o'clock I assume it's going to be gnarly, it's going to be not pretty. | ||
| Will, Jim Jordan, I know they've been, and look, we thought they should stay on the floor Friday and just keep voting, unmask these people, show the nation who they are, show their districts who they are. | ||
| He didn't do that. | ||
| Then he came back yesterday. | ||
| I don't like the way this his whip operations working. | ||
| I'm not a fan of Tom Emmer. | ||
| I don't know why you ever have Tom Emmer involved. | ||
| And now you've got he won vote yesterday. | ||
| Like he said, he got to 200, which I thought was the magic number you had to get there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| But then they allow McHenry and McCarthy's guys to shut it down and give the old guard time. | ||
| You're trying to play like in football. | ||
| This is a speeded up offense. | ||
| You don't have it. | ||
| Are we going to go backwards on this first vote today? | ||
| I'm afraid we're going to. | ||
| I'll be shocked if we don't go backwards a little bit on this first vote. | ||
| Well, if you go backwards on the first vote, how do we then regain momentum? | ||
| I think that this is going to be a Jim Jordan call. | ||
| It will be identified who the people are that voted against him. | ||
| I think he needs to take those folks into the room. | ||
| Not a big conference, not everybody holding hands. | ||
| It hasn't even been a struggle session for those people. | ||
| For those people. | ||
| That was his theory of the case last night and that didn't work. | ||
| We're going in reverse. | ||
| But I don't think that he actually took the people specifically that voted against him and got in a room with them. | ||
| My God. | ||
| That's where it's gotta be. | ||

| Make sure your voice is heard. | ||
| got to be. | ||
| 202-225-3121. | ||
| Make sure your voice is heard. | ||
| Today's the day. | ||
| This is a fight we've wanted for a long time. | ||
| This gets down to reality. | ||
| All the folks out there say you've always wanted limited government or you want fiscal responsibility. | ||
| You're not going to get it until you take the trenching tool and dig out what they call the cardinals here. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| You're not going to receive change. | ||
| If you don't make change. | ||
| And there's no way that anyone in this city is going to relinquish power. | ||
| It's power and money. | ||
| You have to take it from them. | ||
| And this is what it looks like. | ||
| What people need to understand is we're not talking about thousands of dollars and millions of dollars. | ||
| We're talking about billions of dollars are at risk for people in this city right now. | ||
| And they are fighting very hard. | ||
| Well, it's the appropriations guys, and men and women, and it's the House Armed Services Committee. | ||
| And Biden, remember, for the Democrats and Hakeem Jeffries, Biden did something quite brilliant yesterday. | ||
| They dangled out in front of him $100 billion supplemental. | ||
| $100 billion supplemental. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Those lobbyists last night at all these big watering holes around here all the time, they're working those guys non-stop. | ||
| They see the defense contractors and those guys see that hundred billion dollars just sitting out there. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| That was like, that was like another, another snack. | ||
| If you do your job today and get rid of these guys, not only got all the seven trillion dollar budget, we're going to give you a kicker of a hundred billion dollars. | ||
| I would love to see how many members have stock in Raytheon across this city right now. | ||
| It's disgraceful. | ||
| And again, we're talking about billions of dollars that are at risk for different businesses and industry groups that they will or will not get, and that's why they're working so hard to maintain this power and control. | ||
| And so when people say, we want limited government, we want to reduce the spending in government, We have to make change, and it's not going to come easily. | ||
| I'm willing to, as you well know, to stand in here and take that fight on. | ||
| I'm glad to see the cameras up on the House floor that are showing who's voting for what. | ||
| Big time. | ||
| That transparency is what we need. | ||
| We unmask them. | ||
| That's why I said never should have left the floor. | ||
| As this goes on today, let me take the reverse argument. | ||
| How many... We had 70 people voted against the debt deal. | ||
| Debt ceiling. | ||
| You had another 90 coming to vote against the CR. | ||
| If they crush Jordan, which I don't think they'll do at least early on, but if that loses momentum, when they flip to the McCarthy-McHenry-Hakeem Jeffries deal, What core block do we have to say over my dead body? | ||
| How many? | ||
| How big is the block? | ||
| How big is that block right now? | ||
| I think it's going to be larger than when we had vote against the CR, which was 90. | ||
| I think the group will be larger than that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hold it. | |
| You're saying it could be almost 100? | ||
| I think it can be close to 100 Republicans because they see that they had already voted against this consolidation of power, they voted against the status quo, and so I believe that it will be 100. | ||
| This is the fight we always wanted. | ||
| Are you telling me that you think that McHenry and McCarthy, because of what the lobbyists and the corporations want, they would actually make a deal that almost a majority of the majority voted against? | ||
| I think so. | ||
| Because that is so in your grill. | ||
| That then exposes everything. | ||
| That's all you need. | ||
| We literally saw almost, okay, when the CR went through. | ||
| Because there was 90 Republicans that voted against it. | ||
| But you had 100%, okay, less one of the Democrats that voted for that CR. | ||
| There was 209 Democrats voted for that. | ||
| So we already showed the division within the party. | ||
| And every time, the trajectory is going up for the Republicans that are opposing the status quo, okay? | ||
| I know you've got a boat. | ||
| We've got two minutes. | ||
| I want you just to address people. | ||
| What should they be doing today? | ||
| They've been told overnight on all the mainstream media that, gosh, this is counterproductive. | ||
| You know, you shouldn't be making these calls. | ||
| People are upset. | ||
| Some of the wives are upset, right? | ||
| What do you think people should do? | ||
| They need to call their representatives, call their offices, call their... any number that you have. | ||
| Call their Washington lines, call their district lines, get a hold of your representative. | ||
| The list of names is out there and make sure that you urge them in a civil way that you think that they should make sure that we see Jim Jordan as the next Speaker of the House of Representatives. | ||
| Because Jordan right now is symbolic. | ||
| I mean, as you know, the hard right war room posse wants Jim Jordan 1.0, not 2.0, right? | ||
| But he's symbolic now. | ||
| He's a symbol of breaking the system. | ||
| The system is going to punch back hard. | ||
| And those 20 votes you saw yesterday was the beginning of that nucleus of the money. | ||
| The fact that the swamp is working. | ||
| this hard against him shows that they're concerned about the change. | ||
| They are concerned that, my gosh, that the people have recognized, the small group of representatives have recognized they can make change and it's like their eyes have been opened and they are fearful of us taking this step, removing their guy as speaker and then putting someone else in. | ||
| And here's what we found out over the weekend. | ||
| A lot of these old bulls aren't as tough as you think. | ||
| They will flip if you put the exposure on them. | ||
| And this is the grassroots precinct strategy, the state party chairman, state party, county, the head of the county, GOP. | ||
| This is the people versus the machine. | ||
| And today you're going to see it. | ||
| That's exactly what it is. | ||
| How do people get you and follow you? | ||
| Because it's going to be an intense day. | ||
| All on the official site is at RepRosendale, all platforms at RepRosendale. | ||
| If you want to go to my unofficial site, it's Matt4Montana.com. | ||
| Matt, F-O-R, Montana, dot com. | ||
| I can tell you, the folks out there are very excited you're at the tip of the spear on this. | ||
| The folks in Montana are charged, and I think the people across the nation, your posse is helping us make big change. | ||
| Congressman Rosedale, thanks. | ||
| We'll look forward to today. | ||
| It's going to be an exciting, historic day. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Back in the warm in a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance. | |
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| Historic day. | ||
| Mark Paoletta, he was in the White House, and Mark was one of the key guys that worked the Supreme Court, very close to Justice Thomas, wrote the book. | ||
| Mark, thank you for joining us. | ||
| Yesterday, and I want to thank Cleta Mitchell for getting this in front of my grill, because it's been crazy. | ||
| You wrote one of the most, I think, interesting, reflective, and thoughtful pieces of exactly what this day represents. | ||
| Can you walk? | ||
| Because, Mark, we've wanted this fight since at least the Tea Party movement, probably back farther than that, but at least since the Tea Party movement, we've wanted this day. | ||
| And I want to tell folks, don't think it's going to be an easy day. | ||
| I don't think their victories are going to come easy. | ||
| The number is 202-225-3121. | ||
| Make sure your voice is heard on Capitol Hill. | ||
| Call the local offices. | ||
| Call the offices of the 20. | ||
| Make sure they hear your voice. | ||
| Mark, what are we? | ||
| First off, we have wanted this fight, you agree, for at least 10, 12 years? | ||
| Steve, it goes back longer than that. | ||
| You know, I was in the Thomas confirmation fight where when the, you know, things got tough, And Justice Thomas was smeared. | ||
| Lots of Republicans wanted to throw him overboard, wanted to drop Clarence Thomas as the nominee. | ||
| And we're in President Bush's ear to drop him. | ||
| And what did we do? | ||
| We stood and we fought. | ||
| President Bush did, and Justice Thomas did. | ||
| And I think we can take a lot of lessons from that. | ||
| Stand and fight, call out the Democrats for what they are, and stand and fight. | ||
| And you said it would be a tough day. | ||
| It's going to be tough days. | ||
| And Republicans And conservatives should stand and fight until Jim Jordan is elected speaker of the House. | ||
| He's the most popular Republican certainly on the Hill, supported by a majority, an overwhelming majority of the Republican conference. | ||
| It's time to put this game aside. | ||
| And the idea of going down the road of a deal with the Democrats is absolutely a death sentence to any kind of breaking up of the cartel, or it would get even worse than business as usual here. | ||
| And, again, I put up something last night on Hakeem Jeffries, who I've tangled with before during some testimony last year. | ||
| Hakeem Jeffries is not to be trusted. | ||
| Here's a guy who said the most anti-Semitic things. | ||
| He endorsed his uncle, Leonard Jeffries, who is the worst anti-Semite You know, in a long time. | ||
| I think he's still around. | ||
| But back in the 90s, it's a while ago, he said the most awful things about the Jewish people. | ||
| And Hakeem Jeffries invited him to his school to speak. | ||
| And when there was some pushback on it, he said, Hakeem Leonard Jeffries is a renowned scholar, and everything he says is based on documented text and scholarly research, or something awful like that. | ||
| When he was elected to Congress, because you have the cartel, the mainstream media, the left, they never look into the backgrounds of Democrat members, he lied about all of this stuff, and that he wasn't aware of his uncle. | ||
| He didn't know what his uncle said. | ||
| So, he's not to be trusted, OK? | ||
| He lies. | ||
| Second thing, this came up when they were attacking the Supreme Court, and I called out the fact that the left hates Justice Thomas. | ||
| Because he's a black conservative. | ||
| And Hakeem Jeffries asked me, what's the evidence for that? | ||
| And I pointed out how Betty Thompson and others had called Justice Thomas an Uncle Tom. | ||
| But in fact, Hakeem Jeffries had actually called Clarence Thomas, Colin Powell, and Shelby Steele, House Negroes, comparing them to the slavery days, for their conservative views. | ||
| So any deal with Hakeem Jeffries is a disaster, and Republicans should stand and fight— Hang on, hang on. | ||
| I want to make sure, Mark, I want to make sure this audience understands something. | ||
| This is a binary choice. | ||
| It's Jim Jordan, the leading conservative up there, and a fighter, or the deal is they're going to cut a deal with Hakeem Jarrah. | ||
| This is McCarthy. | ||
| This is the restoration of the McCarthy rule and the centralization of power in the appropriators in the House Armed Services Committee, the swamp. | ||
| This is where the lobbyists really make their money. | ||
| And Biden dangled out $100 billion bill he's going to send up as a goody. | ||
| So the choice is they're going to put forward McHenry as an alternative on some resolution that is just some interim basis and it goes. | ||
| But this is Hakeem Jeffries essentially becoming majority leader under the real Speaker of the House, which would be McCarthy. | ||
| Is that is that basically the construct of what they're working on? | ||
| Yeah, this is not temporary. | ||
| This is, as you just said, Steve, this is a binary choice. | ||
| This is either Jim Jordan, the most popular Republican, a conservative, a principled conservative, and a fighter who won't back down. | ||
| And that's why they hate him, right? | ||
| That's why they hate Justice Thomas. | ||
| That's why they hate Jim Jordan. | ||
| Or Patrick McHenry, who will be there forever, right, as long as the Republicans are there. | ||
| So, this is not a temporary choice. | ||
| This is not Let's put this aside and figure out what we're doing for the next 15 days or 30 days or whatever this illusory deadline is. | ||
| This is Hakeem Jeffries who gets to run the House of Representatives if they vote for Patrick McHenry for this under this deal that's being floated. | ||
| Republicans should stand and fight, and they should not back down for as many days as it takes. | ||
| Mark, walk me through this. | ||
| The opposition here, the appropriation, people say I want limited government, people say I want fiscal responsibility. | ||
| This is why I say this is the fight we've always wanted because people are becoming unmasked. | ||
| Talk to me about this kind of industrial complex of appropriators, House Armed Services Committee, that essentially controls Capitol Hill. | ||
| Yeah, well again, the 20, I think the majority of them, the overwhelming majority of them, are actually appropriators. | ||
| Or on the Armed Services Committee. | ||
| And that is where the heart of the cartel is. | ||
| That is the money. | ||
| And that's what makes Washington flow. | ||
| So, the appropriators don't want anyone telling them they can't spend money or more money. | ||
| And just like the defense guys on the Armed Services Committee, they want to spread out the money and keep pushing their own agenda. | ||
| And Jordan is a threat to that. | ||
| And so, as you said, they had a little time to regroup, and now they're pushing, and they're linking arms. | ||
| And look at it, right? | ||
| They're linking arms with the Democrats to try and stop Jim Jordan from being speaker. | ||
| That's what's going on here, right? | ||
| A small group, right? | ||
| And Jordan has been willing to stand and fight and go to the floor, and he should do that. | ||
| And so I think that's what's going on here. | ||
| It's the swamp of fighting back. | ||
| Because they realize it's a threat to their way of doing business, which has got us in all this trouble, right? | ||
| Open borders, right? | ||
| Out of control spending. | ||
| We were dealing with this stuff in the Trump administration, as you said. | ||
| For four years, I was in the Trump administration fighting this fight, particularly on spending and on the wall. | ||
| And we saw the pushback from all sides, Republicans and Democrats, on those sorts of things. | ||
| Well, that's – you talk about stand and fight. | ||
| There's been a lot – over the last 24 hours, they've really gone out of their way to say, oh, this is – it's counterproductive, these calls. | ||
| Do you believe that? | ||
| If it was counterproductive, if it was really – they would never say that, right? | ||
| They're trying to get people to stand down, correct, the MAGA movement? | ||
| That's absurd. | ||
| There should be more calls. | ||
| That's what democracy is. | ||
| People are fired up. | ||
| They want to let their members know. | ||
| Whether they're in their district or around the country, they are representatives. | ||
| And it's showing that the American people, and certainly conservatives and a broader swath of that, are upset and want Jim Jordan elected as speaker. | ||
| So, I would urge, just like Congressman Rosenthal, I would urge your listeners to call the Capitol, call members of Congress, call the 20 federal holdouts to let them know that's democracy in action. | ||
| And the idea that they're saying it's counterproductive, like I said, a lot of times you want to fight. | ||
| I take a lot of lessons. | ||
| I was a young lawyer working on the Thomas Confirmation. | ||
| It taught me so much about how Washington works and how you fight back. | ||
| And that same thing there, you know, nobody thought Justice Thomas would get confirmed in 1991 after these smears and lies were made against him. | ||
| But you stand and you fight. | ||
| And hearing calls come in and hearing people voice their opinions is a good thing. | ||
| So I would encourage your listeners and viewers to do that even more. | ||
| Grace and Mo are putting up, and we even get their local offices up. | ||
| Make sure you hit them on social media, email, phones, all of it today. | ||
| Mark, go back and tell me the story. | ||
| You're very close to Justice Thomas. | ||
| Because this is something, you saw this in the Trump administration. | ||
| When they went and said, oh, we ought to pull Thomas, why are they afraid to fight? | ||
| Because this is what's endemic and this is what today's about. | ||
| Why is it, what is it in the DNA of some of these Republicans, particularly people that run the show, that they don't want to stand and fight? | ||
| You know, I think, I think people want to get along. | ||
| A lot of people aren't, don't have the strength to stand up for their principles. | ||
| They want to be respected by Whatever they consider to be the ruling class. | ||
| I think you find that with justices. | ||
| You know, one of the things when we look at justices during the Trump administration, it was looking for people who will stand. | ||
| You know, I had this chart when we did the first interviews together, right, Steve, of Neil Gorsuch and others, of looking at all these justices who have gone to the left over the years, even Republicans, once they're appointed. | ||
| And so it's this idea of wanting to be accepted, I think, and not looking like, you know, and being criticized. | ||
| And they need to understand that people respect, you know, those who stand up for their principles and what they believe in. | ||
| And it's the right thing to do. | ||
| And I think it ultimately, you'll get your respect that you're seeking by standing up for what you believe in. | ||
| And so I think that's what's going on here a lot. | ||
| But again, here, it's just these 20. | ||
| And it's, you know, it's the cartel of the appropriators. | ||
| And so there's an interest. | ||
| They have an interest, right, of blocking Jim Jordan because it's not going to be business as usual. | ||
| So it's almost, you know, their own self-interest as to why they're against, you know, Jim Jordan. | ||
| Mark, how do people—I know you're at CRA right now. | ||
| By the way, three of our best fighters, Jeff Clark, of course, the great Russ Vought, Mark, are over at this organization, which is tremendous. | ||
| It's the Trump Fight Club. | ||
| How do people—and by the way, Mark was so important to get the justice done and to think through the deconstruction of the administrative state. | ||
| Social media, where do they get the book? | ||
| Where do they find you? | ||
|

Sure. | |
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| At Mark Paoletta. | ||
| On X. And then my book is called Created Equal, Clarence Thomas and His Own Words. | ||

| Oh God! Oh God! Oh God! Oh God! | ||
| What's going on? | ||
| on okay arm let's say this the world's on fire Biden goes over to to a Israel and of course now the Arabs that we pay for Palestinian Authority King Jordan and Egypt not can't do a meeting we'll get to that in a | ||
| second I'm gonna bring in the great Alex Jones to walk us all through it make it make sense real quickly and if Denver can get this up because history in 30 minutes and it's gonna be Folks, get ready to be gnarly. | ||
| It's going to be gnarly. | ||
| This is now you, the populist movement, versus the money. | ||
| We're gonna see who walks the walk. | ||
| Don Bacon of Nebraska, Ken Buck of Colorado, Lori Chavez de Rima of Oregon, Anthony D'Esposito, New York, Mario Diaz-Ballard of Florida, Jake Elsey of Texas, Andrew Gabarino of New York, Carlos Jimenez of Florida, Tony Gonzalez of Texas, Kay Granger of Texas, John James of Michigan, but John James has said, I think he's voting for, I think he said he's voting for Jordan. | ||
| Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania. | ||
| Jennifer Kiggins of Virginia. | ||
| Nick LaLotta of New York. | ||
| Doug LaMalfi of California. | ||
| He's also said he will vote for Jordan. | ||
| Michael Lawler, New York. | ||
| John Rutherford of Florida. | ||
| That's a disgrace. | ||
| Simpson of Idaho. | ||
| A disgrace. | ||
| Victoria Sparks, Indiana. | ||
| And Steve Womack of Arkansas. | ||
| Particularly you folks in heavily MAGA districts. | ||
| That's the Swamp 20 right there. | ||
| This is about money and power today. | ||
| Very simple. | ||
| We told you this exercise would unmask who actually controls the deal, and now you're seeing it. | ||
| Every one of those appropriators, Senate Appropriations Committee, every one of what we call the Old Bulls of the Cardinals, they run this city. | ||
| Because they're the guys that allocate the cash. | ||
| That's why we got the Armed Services Committee. | ||
| This is why Biden, before he got on the plane, dropped it out there. | ||
| One hundred billion dollars. | ||
| For Ukraine and Israel. | ||
| And folks should know, I think Israel is asking for $10 billion. | ||
| So that means this Ukraine deal is the $80 billion they said they were going to get. | ||
| And they hung it out there for these people. | ||
| Shut down Jordan. | ||
| Let's go back to the way the games played. | ||
| And cut a deal with Hakeem Jeffries. | ||
| You just heard, you just heard Rosendale say he thinks 90, the people who voted against the CR, he thinks 90, maybe 100 Republicans would fight that. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, we've wanted this fight for at least 12 years, since the Tea Party. | ||
| We've wanted this fight. | ||
| Today's the day. | ||
| And you're going to see who governs you. | ||
| And they're saying, they're whining, oh, this is so terrible, it's counterproductive. | ||
| Call them and get in their grill. | ||
| Let them know what you think. | ||
| 202-225-3121. | ||
| Email, call their local office, all of it. | ||
| Burn it down. | ||
| That's right. | ||
| Get up in their face, because right now this system is not sustainable, and we have a massive invasion on the southern border. | ||
| Alex Jones, the Great Awakening. | ||
| As you get to a Great Awakening, you got to go through some tribulations, sir. | ||
| Tell me where you think we are right now. | ||
| Between Israel, you got Putin, looks like he's on a second date. | ||
| They're loving up on each other in Beijing with Xi. | ||
| You got the Persians today said, hey, we're going to go to war. | ||
| We're going to bring Hezbollah into this from the north. | ||
| Is this biblical, Alex Jones? | ||
| It really is. | ||
| And your analysis has been the best because I watch the show every day while I'm getting ready for my own broadcast. | ||
| And you pointed out that Israel and the United States are walking into a trap. | ||
| That's what Gaza is. | ||
| And we have two ancient cultures, Communist China and the Persians, Iran, that know exactly what they're doing. | ||
| We've seen these huge uprisings since the supposed hospital got bombed yesterday. | ||
| And now we know it was the parking lot got hit. | ||
| It wasn't 500 dead. | ||
| But as Mark Twain said, a lie goes halfway around the world before the truth puts its pants on. | ||
| And it's very clear that they're firing a bunch of rockets from a cemetery right behind the hospital. | ||
| And one of them failed. | ||
| into the parking lot. | ||
| And there've been hundreds, 400 plus rockets just in the last year that have admittedly been fired out of Gaza, they're very, very primitive and failed and exploded on people's houses and on roads and in the farms there in Gaza. | ||
| So this is absolute propaganda, we're not supposed to question it. | ||
| And so they're still saying Israel did it. | ||
| And I'm not saying Israel perfect by any stretch of the imaginations, but it's overwhelmingly clear, they lied about this whole thing. | ||
| And you see the whole global media getting behind it and giant demonstrations, even in Dallas, Texas, Huge hordes of people waving their Palestinian flags, Hamas flags, and so this is really the enemy within the gates. | ||
| Totally open border, hundreds of thousands of military-age men every few months streaming in, and it's totally outrageous. | ||
| Meanwhile, Homeland Security still says The number one security threat is Christian, conservative, Republicans, Catholics, anybody that's questioning the power structure. | ||
| That's the official directive, is we the people, the demographic conservatives with the lowest crime rates, the hardest working, the most honest people, we're targeted by this criminal regime while they give $6 billion to the Mulas just five weeks ago, while they give $87 billion. | ||
| Alex, let's pull the camera back for one second. | ||
| I think one of the reasons you've been so right on so many of the calls that you've made over the years, over the decades, you are pretty dialed in. | ||
| You know a lot of folks in the national security apparatus, particularly the intelligence apparatus. | ||
| How was this missed or was it missed? | ||
| How was something that was planned for two years, that was a military operation over a vast scale of territory in Israel, An air-sea-land, highly coordinated invasion that not just caught the Mossad, what is it, Shin Bet and IDF military intelligence by surprise, but then the response by IDF took six, seven, eight hours. | ||
| How did that happen, sir? | ||
| What do your sources tell you? | ||
| Well, I mean, it's clear the Israeli government admits the biggest intelligence failure in their 70-plus year history. | ||
| And we know that they've got hundreds of attack helicopters, including more than 50 Apaches that were literally just 10 miles away. | ||
| And so they stood down for at least seven hours. | ||
| And there were all sorts of retired Israeli military that drove down from the north to try to fight. | ||
| And so it's one of two things, and I think it's a mix of both. | ||
| Israel's been in an internal political civil war. | ||
| A lot of people have walked off the job. | ||
| A lot of people have walked out of the military. | ||
| And so you had very small units down there on the border in southern Israel, on the border with Gaza. | ||
| And then you have Netanyahu who's extremely unpopular, but has been able to stay in power because of parliamentary procedures, kind of like Trudeau has. | ||
| And so there was clearly some calculus there, and he said this before, that if Israel gets struck, it makes Israel stronger. | ||
| And so I lean towards a complete stand-down. | ||
| That's actually what, in national polls, most Israelis think has happened. | ||
| But there's also a big component here that there were national strikes across the country, big demonstrations every weekend, with Netanyahu's judicial reform. | ||
| And so I'm not taking sides in the incredibly sectarian battles that happened. | ||
| You know, if we think we have partisanship here, it's nothing compared to Israel. | ||
| It's over the top, as you know, Steve. | ||
| But bottom line, The final equation here is they've moved in a lot of liberal Jews in the last few decades that settled Gaza. | ||
| Who didn't, or settled the area of Israel right by Gaza with two plus million people that want to kill them, many of them. | ||
| And the idea that many of the Jews that moved in there didn't even seek gun permits, which you can get fairly easy. | ||
| Now the Israeli government's basically saying, all of you better get a gun. | ||
| No kidding. | ||
| I mean, if I lived next to a fence with two million people firing rockets at me and suicide bombers, it just shows how delusional and soft the West has gotten and so many of the People moving to Israel have come from countries with no Second Amendment, and so they're lambs to the slaughter. | ||
| Alex, they had Burning Man down there with all the young people, the supernova or whatever, the trance music dance party, like Burning Man, a half a mile from Gaza. | ||
| If the Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood's animals on the morning of the 8th, they were animals on the 7th, the 6th, it's pretty shocking to people to sit there and just look at Israeli citizens that didn't take the threat seriously, sir. | ||
| Well, that's right. | ||
| Thousands of Israelis and Europeans and others taking ecstasy and acid. | ||
| Dancing all night with giant speakers booming, boom, boom, boom, boom, with all that trance music. | ||
| That's like waving a giant stake, a bloody stake, in front of a hundred starving wolves. | ||
| Where is the common sense? | ||
| And again, I'm just looking at basic takeaways. | ||
| Maybe the Israelis have thought they were safe with the Iron Dome and all their high-tech security, and maybe they were that delusional that they were safe. | ||
| And so I'll say again, America has the same problem. | ||
| We've brought millions of these people in. | ||
| You now see them boiling out on U.S. | ||
| cities, including in Texas, like ants out of an anthill or bees out of a beehive. | ||
| And they're openly joining Black Lives Matter, saying, overthrow America. | ||
| So any way you slice it, these people, on average, are not going to assimilate. | ||
| They are only going to try to conquer us. | ||
| They're allied with the Democratic Party, the Democratic Socialists, the Marxist-Leninists, and that's another reason the border must be shut, and we need to deport all these people now. | ||
| But regardless, when and if there are terror attacks in this country, I think it's only a matter of when, not if, we all need to hold the FBI and the Justice Department responsible that have put tens of thousands of agents out there persecuting and prosecuting people that walk through velvet ropes on January 6th and going and harassing conservative parents that don't want CRT or drag queen pedophile time at their school boards. | ||
| This internal focus on the American people while the gates are wide open and the Islamic hordes pour in is gonna be the death of this country. | ||
| We need to hold the establishment responsible for what they've done. | ||
| Alex, you said your fear is that a trap's been laid for both Israel and the United States in this, and you've got, you know, a new world order. | ||
| They're rubbing it in our face coming out of Beijing with Putin and Xi rubbing up on each other. | ||
| You've got the Persians, you have the Turks, you have Egypt, these ancient civilizations. | ||
| What is the trap? | ||
| You fear a trap. | ||
| What is that trap, sir? | ||
| Well, I mean, I agree with you. | ||
| Iran has said it's a trap. | ||
| They took the six billion. | ||
| Biden gave them five weeks ago and then allocated the other money they had towards launching the shahadah. | ||
| Then they can control the PR. | ||
| And when the Israelis fight back, they can turn the world against Israel. | ||
| And I think this is part of the Great Awakening. | ||
| There's not just a Great Awakening of populist and Christians and nationalists and conservatives and free market people, which is happening. | ||
| And we see patriots being elected. | ||
| We're about to be elected in Argentina. | ||
| So they indict the guy, you know, Bolsonaro, barring him from running. | ||
| But we see patriots getting elected in Italy and Sweden and in, I mean, all over the world. | ||
| New Zealand, the list goes on and on. | ||
| So there's a good awakening. | ||
| But in the universe, there's always Newtonian physics. | ||
| For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. | ||
| And so evil is being summoned. | ||
| Evil is rallying around the world. | ||
| And it's making its move. | ||
| So there's a great awakening of evil that's taking place right now at the same time, and that's why the West has to get very, very serious. | ||
| And just like our politicians, you had a guest on, Mark, earlier, and you asked the question, why are Republicans so scared? | ||
| Why are the Republican leadership always so scared? | ||
| Well, they're scared of being indicted by the corrupt Justice Department and set up, like they do so many Republican congressmen and women that do the right thing, or patriots, or they attempt to, like with Matt Gaetz. | ||
| But then we also have the fact that I've noticed, being around the judiciary, they're some of the most cloistered, isolated, technically, culturally ignorant people in their own little weird bubble. | ||
| They don't understand any of the stuff that's going on. | ||
| And I think it's the same thing with Netanyahu and the Israeli leadership. | ||
| They think they're in 1995 or 2001. | ||
| They're not. | ||
| And the left and Islam have merged worldwide. | ||
| They've made deals. | ||
| The corporate media worldwide, the major universities, Harvard, Oxford, you name it. | ||
| They're turning us over to Islam. | ||
| And so we have an evil awakening. | ||
| Hang on for one second. | ||
| We're going to take a short break. | ||
| Alex Jones, the book is The Great Awakening, defeating the globalists and launching the next great renaissance. | ||
| On game day, we're about 10 minutes away from the vote. | ||
|

|
Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | |
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| It's ten minutes away. | ||
| I want to give credit to the great Matt Boyle over at Breitbart. | ||
| He says that if Jordan doesn't get it today, if we can't hammer it through, it's going to be like a scene. | ||
| When they put McHenry up, it's going to be a scene like at a red wedding. | ||
| From Game of Thrones. | ||
| I think he's writing something up over Breitbart right now. | ||
| Alex Jones, the book's amazing. | ||
| We're going to have you back on tomorrow and also the next day because I want to go in detail. | ||
| This is the third in the series I was honored to write the fourth of this. | ||
| Given everything that's happened geopolitically, let's focus for a minute on what's the meaning of this. | ||
| We've been looking for this fight for 12 years. | ||
| For the populist movement, the Tea Party movement, the grassroots, to cut through all the BS and get right down to it, the money and the power on Capitol Hill. | ||
| You got the Cardinals, what they call the Cardinals, or the Old Bulls, that run Appropriations and Armed Services. | ||
| Biden just dangled out a $100 billion supplemental, basically for Ukraine, for these guys as an incentive to crush us. | ||
| Put it in perspective what this vote starting in 10 minutes means, sir. | ||
| Well, you're absolutely right. | ||
| And you've helped quarterback this whole thing. | ||
| And the only criticism of your show I have is that there's not more Steve Bannon. | ||
| And I said that on my show a few days ago. | ||
| I said, you have the best analysis of anybody out there because it's true and we should really value it. | ||
| And so there's nothing I can really add other than to say, you're right. | ||
| We're unmasking them to say, oh, this is reckless or it could make the Democrats come in and they'll control who the speaker is. | ||
| We'll just keep removing them. | ||
| No more compromise. | ||
| No more going along with these people. | ||
| We have to make this a spectacle and push it out there in the open and turn on the lights and spotlight the cockroaches. | ||
| And that's what we're doing. | ||
| And we are proving that we're the populace. | ||
| We're proving that we are the people that want to take this country back from the globalist power bloc. | ||
| And so that's why this is such an exciting time to be alive. | ||
| That's why it's the Great Awakening. | ||
| And the one point I was going to make before we hit the break was, There is a huge awakening. | ||
| Populists and conservatives and nationalists and Christians are getting elected all over the world. | ||
| Trump is surging to never-before-seen heights against all his Republican competition and against Biden. | ||
| Normally, you get indicted, you resign immediately, but the system is discredited. | ||
| But then I look at the old Republican leadership, They're just like the judiciary that I've been around and seen in these trials. | ||
| They don't know their head from a hole in the ground. | ||
| They still think the New York Times is important. | ||
| They still think CNN is important. | ||
| They still think Meet the Press is important. | ||
| And so, that's what's happening here. | ||
| They don't know the world has moved on and that there are new evil power blocks, but there's also new power blocks of good, and the good really is outshining the bad. | ||
| But our own Republican leaders are intimidated of the dinosaur media, of the legacy media, and just don't hit it yet, because we know change always comes from the bottom up. | ||
| It happened 450 years ago in our country, it's happened thousands of times in history around the world. | ||
| So the change has already happened. | ||
| We've already turned the ship around, but the politicians and the bluebloods, cloistered in their little ivory towers, haven't figured it out yet. | ||
| And that's why we've got to push the fight, just like with Trump surging, because he's fighting. | ||
| He's not backing down. | ||
| That's what we're doing. | ||
| That's why it's important. | ||
| That's why everybody who's watching this has to understand the public's mind. | ||
| You have, in The Great Awakening, you have a subtitle, defeating the globalists and launching the next great renaissance. | ||
| We have to defeat the globalists first. | ||
| Is this fight today, us, the populist nationalist movement, versus the Republican Party globalists on Capitol Hill? | ||
| It's everything. | ||
| And it's the same Klaus Schwab. | ||
| He penetrates the cabinet's system worldwide. | ||
| They brag. | ||
| And that's what they're doing. | ||
| So we have to identify them, but we also then have to promote our alternative. | ||
| Not just defeat the globalists, which you're right, is step one, but we have to be then promoting what made America great, what gave us soft power around the world, and return to the Renaissance. | ||
| America is not the old idea. | ||
| It was the new idea that became the model of the world. | ||
| The globalists are trying to strangle the founder's dream because they can't compete with it. | ||
| And that's what The Great Awakening is all about. | ||
| This book is twice as long as my last one, The Great Reset and War for the World. | ||
| They're just focused on the globalists and their own admissions and their battle plan. | ||
| This gives you the latest in their operations and just how evil they are, but also how weak they are and how we really are the majority and the future. | ||
| But we've got to realize it and be bold and we're unstoppable. | ||
| We want to push the book like it did number one last time, and you were critical on that, on Amazon so that it reaches more people. | ||
| It starts shipping in two days. | ||
| You can pre-order right now, but basically it's now out. | ||
| Start shipping on the 20th. | ||
| It's in bookstores the 24th. | ||
