| The defense budget that passed yesterday interesting for what's in it and for what is not in it. | ||
| The House passed the National Defense Authorization Act by an overwhelming majority yesterday. | ||
| The defund spending bill had strong bipartisan support in both chambers, with House Democrats joining Republicans after the bill was stripped of far-right Republican demands that originally had targeted issues like abortion access and diversity programs. | ||
| They're not in the bill. | ||
| The NDAA authorized $886 billion in spending, an increase of about 3% from last year. | ||
| It includes a 5.2% pay raise for troops. | ||
| That's the largest increase in years. | ||
| And it extends a measure to help Ukraine through the end of 2026, authorizing $300 million for the next two fiscal years, though of course that's a fraction of the $61 billion in assistance President Biden has asked Congress to approve. | ||
| Also in the NDAA, a provision barring future presidents from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO without approval from the Senate or an act of Congress. | ||
| The legislation was spearheaded by Virginia Senator Tim Kaine and Republican Senator Marco Rubio of Florida. | ||
| Concerns have grown in recent years surrounding whether the United States might withdraw from NATO during another Trump presidency. | ||
| With this legislation, no president will be able to solely decide to leave that alliance. | ||
| So Joe, fascinating budget here because of what's not in it. | ||
| All the noise about abortion access, the Tommy Tuberville of it all, and then this provision, a bipartisan provision co-sponsored by Marco Rubio, effectively to stop Donald Trump potentially from pulling out of NATO. | ||
| Eddie, of course, you are connected with Princeton, a professor at Princeton, and so you have more information than I do. | ||
| So when I say this, I say it out of a bit of ignorance. | ||
| Princeton doesn't seem to have been a hotbed of this sort of infighting. | ||
| I look at colleges like Dartmouth, where you had the head of Middle Eastern Studies and the head of Jewish Studies get together. | ||
| They had an open dialogue, and it's been really constructive and productive up at Dartmouth. | ||
| And kudos to them for having, again, having a tough talk. | ||
| There are so many Complicated issues involved in this debate. | ||
| I'm wondering your thoughts on the best way for colleges to proceed the next time a crisis like this comes up and also what has worked at Princeton, what hasn't worked? | ||
| Well, I think, first of all, Joe, I think most institutions around the country are having difficult conversations. | ||
| Students are arguing, protesting, some civilly, some uncivilly. | ||
| Some of them are trading in noxious views, and others are just simply putting forward a position in defense of the rights of Palestinians. | ||
| And I think that's happening, for the most part, across the 4,000 plus Four-year university and degree-granting colleges across campus. | ||
| And so when you invoke Dartmouth or you invoke Princeton, we're talking about different cultures, right? | ||
| I mean, Brown has a different kind of historical culture. | ||
| It has a protest culture just like Berkeley has. | ||
| And so for my former colleague, Christine Paxton, to do what she's done, she has in some ways cut against the grain of the ethos of Brown in an interesting sort of way. | ||
| But I want to say this very clearly. | ||
| There are some folk who are out here claiming that the universities and colleges are these hotbeds of anti-semitism and illiberalism. | ||
| I just beg to disagree, Joe. | ||
| I've been working in this space for 30 plus years. | ||
| I'm one of those professors who are often read as radical and all that because I teach in African American studies. | ||
| And there's anti-semitism is not at the heart of what we're doing. | ||
| We're trying to create a way of seeing the world that opens it up to the vast diversity of this world. And so it seems to me that the anti-Semitism that has defined the country over these last few years has been exaggerated, not exaggerated, ignited, grown, expanded as a result of the Israel-Hamas. | ||
| of Hamas war and we have to kind of understand that we're in a moment where the country has forgotten how to disagree and students are arguing in that context. I don't know if that made sense but there's a lot bubbling up in me after I heard Greenblatt give his comments. | ||
| 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 line? | ||

War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Babb. | |
| It's Friday, 15 December, Year of Our Lord 2023. | ||
| Thank you for joining us this morning. | ||
| Obviously a lot to get to. | ||
| They made their escape last night, but not before leaving enough damage around here for us to try to pick up the pieces. | ||
| I wanted to start with the NDAA because they slipped in. | ||
| And it, I shouldn't say slipped in, we knew about it, but it passed overwhelmingly in the Senate. | ||
| And this is how they do it. | ||
| It just wasn't FISA. | ||
| It was also this provision, right up in Donald Trump's face, about NATO. | ||
| Remember, the Constitution is very specific about how you pass a treaty with an ally. | ||
| And people say Ukraine's an ally. | ||
| Ukraine's not an ally. | ||
| They're not an ally. | ||
| We have no alliance with Ukraine. | ||
| And of course, yesterday you saw the brutal reality. | ||
| They go, oh yeah, we're going to open up and have discussion about bringing in the EU. | ||
| Not one nation is putting up any money. | ||
| Nobody wants to put up any money. | ||
| All the papers in Europe, we're getting more of that this evening with Harnwell from Rome. | ||
| No money. | ||
| They saw the United States, I'm putting money, no money, no cash. | ||
| In fact, Viktor Orban, who walked out of the room and let the EU conversation continue, block the $50 billion the EU collectively is going to put in. | ||
| But no nation stood up. | ||
| They've had it, and they understand it's politically toxic. | ||
| Why? | ||
| It's what's the purpose? | ||
| What's the objective? | ||
| Nobody's ever walked somebody through the strategy here. | ||
| And now to understand that Zelensky really wanted to take back the Crimea and the complete eastern province looks ridiculous now. | ||
| Of course, there's all types of finger-pointing about how many casualties, how many dead. | ||
| All types of reports out that 75,000 to 100,000 we mention all the time is vastly a low-ball count. | ||
| Pentagon's put out the 325,000 Russian soldiers have either died or been wounded, either killed in action or casualties. | ||
| And now there's all types of finger-pointing about how many actual Ukrainians. | ||
| They know all that. | ||
| They're trying to take away President Trump. | ||
| Remember, President Trump wasn't trying to get out of NATO. | ||
| President Trump was trying to make NATO an alliance. | ||
| NATO is a protectorate. | ||
| And when we talk about all these different, the international rules-based order and the American overstretch for the American Empire, the trillion-dollar defense budget, You have to keep in perspective opportunity cost. | ||
| All those nations in Europe that you're paying for because they are protectorate just like the Gulf Emirates are protectors. | ||
| They're not allies. | ||
| The UAE throws a little and punches above their weight. | ||
| Israel does what they do and punch above their weight. | ||
| But these are protect Saudi Arabia doesn't do enough but doesn't punch above the weight at all. | ||
| These are protectorates. | ||
| What does that mean? | ||
| That means not just your sons and daughters, your money, your cash, your taxpayer money. | ||
| This is why we have run in such massive deficits. | ||
| One of the reasons. | ||
| Do you have a pension? | ||
| Do you take six weeks off? | ||
| Do you take August off in the summer? | ||
| Do you have full health care like Israel has? | ||
| Free college? | ||
| Do you have what Europe has? | ||
| Have you been to Europe? | ||
| Except for the fact they've let Sharia supremacist invaders in non-stop for decades, but particularly since 2012 and 2014, and now they've got massive problems. | ||
| They've been doing it for 40 or 50 years, but now they've got massive problems, and probably leading to civil wars in certain countries. | ||
| And the Netherlands is trying to get a proposal to get out of the EU onto the ballot as a referendum. | ||
| They have health care, They have pensions, they have a short work week, and they take tons of time off in the summer and over the holidays. | ||
| Do you have any of that? | ||
| Ask yourself, do you have any of that? | ||
| The answer would be no, you do not. | ||
| You don't. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| One of the reasons? | ||
| That your bettors here on Capitol Hill, the great thinkers, Marco Rubio is a big thinker, right? | ||
| That's a big thinker. | ||
| What community college did he go to down in Florida? | ||
| Marco Rubio, a big thinker, a big geostrategist. | ||
| This is the defense industry gets these rubes and tells them how brilliant they are, how brilliant they are to do something like that. | ||
| That's up in Trump's face. | ||
| Well, we will test that at the Supreme Court. | ||
| Because the Constitution is quite specific about the two-thirds you need in the Senate because they want the country to come together and agree. | ||
| They don't want a lot of alliances. | ||
| They want it to be a relatively rare occurrence. | ||
| But there's nothing in there about getting out of an alliance. | ||
| And I don't believe, and we'll have to test that over time. | ||
| President Trump's not trying to leave NATO, and I'm not saying he's trying to leave it. | ||
| He's trying to get NATO, first of all, to live up to their obligations, 2% of their GDP for defense, and not for women's health care, and not for transgender surgeries, and not for global warming, all the stuff that's in our defense bill. | ||
| You can't do that. | ||
| It's for weapons, it's for training, it's for troops, it's for interoperability. | ||
| Lead story in the New York Times today, on the site, guess what it is? | ||
| Oh, you know, like in Ireland where they have 125,000 Ukrainians, half of them military-age men that, hey, not so excited about fighting for their country, hiding out in Ireland, becoming a bother to the young girls over there. | ||
| It's about, oh, I have a medical condition, right? | ||
| I got a medical condition, I got a hangnail, I got this, I got that. | ||
| That's why the average age, they're conscripting people over 40 right now, because they don't want to fight. | ||
| It's not that these people are not patriotic. | ||
| I think they see how lives have been thrown away in the Toronto house. | ||
| Because now they're all pointing, Putin's out there, yes, he's spiking the football, he's laughing. | ||
| Hey, I'm taking on the West. | ||
| These guys are so feckless, so hapless, led the Ukrainian people down the primrose path. | ||
| The country looks like Dresden in 45. | ||
| You know, they're saying it could be 300,000 casualties on the Ukrainian side. | ||
| Think that, I don't know if that's correct, but let's say this, directionally, as we say in investment banking, directionally, it feels smarter than the number the Pentagon's been putting out, because that just, you look at the footage, you look at the towns, you look at the devastation. | ||
| Plus, I think what, 25% of the population, vamoosed, gone. | ||
| Taken off. | ||
| Ain't coming back either. | ||
| They got into Poland and other places, not coming back. | ||
| I've got a lot to say about this, and think about it, these Republicans, and Steve Daines, big article on Axios, how Steve Daines is working Trump, you know, to get all these McConnell, dude, you're McConnell's bitch. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| All you're doing for President Trump's not dumb. | ||
| You're just pushing McConnell guys in front of me. | ||
| That's not going to work. | ||
| Particularly Danes is one of the guys, one of the architects of this, uh, take the, take the, take the tiller out of, uh, out of President Trump's hands on NATO. | ||
| So now Trump doesn't have the club or they think he doesn't have a club. | ||
| He'll still have the club. | ||
| to browbeat him. I had to deal with these guys. None of these clowns, Ruby and these guys ever had to deal with them. They don't want to pay it. One guy, the German guy said, well, Steve, we can't do that because we, constitutionally, have a balanced budget and we can't do that. | ||
| We'd have to spend more. And I said, are you kidding me? We're running massive deficits because of defense. And you're telling me about your constitution as a balanced budget. | ||
| I said, dude, we wrote that constitution for you after we bombed you back into the Stone Age to destroy the Nazis. | ||
| So don't don't put your constitution in my face. | ||
| That was written by us. | ||
| OK, you got to step up to the plate. | ||
| Remember, all the elites in Europe, folks over there are good folks, but all the elites, they're all con artists from Davos to Brussels. | ||
| It's all their inside game. | ||
| They could care less about the people in their countries. | ||
| But more importantly, they could care less about you. | ||
| You went over in World War I, bailed them out, huge casualties in the Argonne Forest. | ||
| By the way, the longest continuous battle in American history, 100 days. | ||
| That was the death blow to the Germans. | ||
| MacArthur and those guys. | ||
| Blackjack, Pershing, but MacArthur, I think MacArthur won, what, two or three medals of honor, awarded two or three medals of honor in the drive in World War I, World War II. | ||
| We know about that. | ||
| Bail them out again. | ||
| And we talk about NATO and our allies. | ||
| How many were on our side of the football in World War II? | ||
| The Russian people were on our side of the football. | ||
| They took, what, I don't know, 40, 50, 60 million casualties. | ||
| The Chinese people, Laobaijing in mainland China, they were on our side. | ||
| They fought. | ||
| Those are our allies. | ||
| Those are the ones that bore the brunt. | ||
| You think Guadalcanal in Taiwan or in Peleliu? | ||
| Tarawa, as bad as they were, how horrific they would have been with more Japanese troops and higher caliber Japanese troops that were on the mainland getting chopped up. | ||
| So all this nonsense and now they try to handcuff Trump. | ||
| They try to handcuff him. | ||
| That's just up in his grill. | ||
| It's an insult to an individual, a gentleman who gave us peace and prosperity. | ||
| How did you have peace? | ||
| He was browbeating NATO, so you've got to pay up, and you have to do it on equipment, arms, training, recruiting, and interoperability. | ||
| We have to work together as an alliance, no longer a protectorate. | ||
| The Europeans are getting a free lunch, and you see McConnell's guys, they're protecting the Europeans, not the American people. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Man, when they leave town, they leave town. | ||
| Jake Sherman. | ||
| Brother Jake Sherman over at Punchbowl do a great job. | ||
| He's tweeting. | ||
| He must have left last night. | ||
| He saw Bob Weir in Port Chester last night. | ||
| Another deadhead. | ||
| Going down memory lane. | ||
| That means he's out of town. | ||
| That means he's up in New York, right? | ||
| Unbelievable. | ||
| Mike Davis, I've got Brad here. | ||
| Brad, you and I are going to get back into capital markets. | ||
| A ton of stuff happened on Capitol Hill. | ||
| I've got to pick your brain on a pun. | ||
| But Mike, make it make sense to me because all the media is saying it's all about this expedited filings. | ||
| I'm not a lawyer. | ||
| And as you know, I don't try, you and Boris know, I don't try to play one. | ||
| I've used lawyers from years at Goldman Sachs, my own firm. | ||
| I always hire the best. | ||
| I try to hire the best and always look at their counsel, but you've got to play 20 questions to understand it because you've got to make the decisions, not the lawyers at the end of the day. | ||
| But correct me if I'm wrong, Brother Davis, I'm actually seeing win after win after win. | ||
| Let's start with Stefanik's ethics complaint today, which is pretty big because it's on a federal judge. | ||
| I want to start there and then go through, walk me through everything on Trump's, the trials of Trump on the criminal side, then I want to pivot to the 14th Amendment. | ||
| So just take away, start with Stefanik and work your way through it. | ||
| Yeah, so Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, the all-star Republican in New York, and she's part of House Republican leadership. | ||
| filed an ethics complaint against D.C. | ||
| Obama judge Beryl Howell. | ||
| Beryl Howell was the former chief judge for seven years from 2016 to 2013. | ||
| She was the chief judge of the D.C. | ||
| District Court, a critical court. | ||
| She supervised the grand jury and she was the one who supervised the bogus molar probe With Weissman going after Trump for Russian collusion, just a total farce. | ||
| She's also the one, Judge Beryl Howe is also the judge who supervised Jack Smith's bogus grand jury investigations against President Trump leading to the unprecedented indictments of a former president, the first time ever One was for the Mar-a-Lago, after the Mar-a-Lago raid, for presidential records that President Trump is allowed to have in the office of former president under the Presidential Records Act. | ||
| The other indictment is for January 6th for the non-crime of objecting to a presidential election, which is allowed by the Electoral Count Act of 1887. | ||
| Twisting arms politically is allowed by the First Amendment. | ||
| We've talked about that a lot. | ||
| Oh, demon. | ||
| argues that Judge Beryl Howe gave a partisan speech several weeks ago to a women's group, and the women's group included the current number two in the Justice Department, Lisa Monaco, who is in charge of federal prosecutors across the country. | ||
| Demon. | ||
| Oh, demon. | ||
| Demon. | ||
| Government gangster. | ||
| Yeah, and Lisa Monaco's in charge of all prosecutors, including the January 6th prosecutions. | ||
| Former Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch emceed this thing, and former Obama White House Counsel Kathy Rumler was part of this. | ||
| And both Lisa Monaco and Judge Beryl Howell received an award, the Champion's Award, or whatever the hell they called it at this gala. | ||
| And then Judge Beryl Howe, as part of this Democrat powwow, where they were praising each other and talking about what great friends they are and hugging each other for pictures, then Judge Beryl Howe gets up there and essentially—she doesn't mention Trump by name, but the implication was very clear to everyone—that Judge Beryl Howe was essentially arguing that the re-election of President Trump would lead to authoritarianism in America. | ||
| Blatantly illegal for a judge to do that. | ||
| It violates Canon 2B of the judicial canons. | ||
| It's election interference. | ||
| It's an inappropriate speech. | ||
| And it's so damaging to the judiciary if people think that judges are going to promote Democrat talking points and the Democrat political narrative to interfere in the next election. | ||
| How rare is it for a member of Congress, no matter how senior, to file an ethics complaint against a federal judge at that level? | ||
| Well, it's just very rare for federal judges to be on the receiving end of these ethics complaints. | ||
| So I want to commend Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. | ||
| She's actually showing that she has the brains and the backbone to take on the left's lawfare. | ||
| And she did this before with that Manhattan judge, Arthur Ingerod. | ||
| She, Elise Stefanik, filed a judicial complaint against him in New York back in November because he's a partisan goofball who's railroading Trump. | ||
| There's Judge Beryl Howell, is a partisan cheerleader. | ||
| She proved that at this awards dinner a couple of weeks ago when she's hugging and doing a kumbaya with Biden's number two Justice Department official and Obama's former attorney general and Obama's former White House counsel. | ||
| And the key here is, while cases are pending, there are criminal cases pending before President Trump, there are criminal cases pending before Trump supporters, including these January 6 supporters. | ||
| How the hell do they think that they're going to get a fair trial Before Judge Beryl Howell, when she's giving extrajudicial speeches condemning President Trump, essentially, and saying that his reelection will lead to authoritarianism in this country, fascism in this country, and it's because Trump has his supporters brainwashed, is essentially what she was arguing in this speech. | ||
| She even plugged a book This new book that came out by this Democrat operative, Judge Beryl Howell, plugged the book and referenced the book, and the book is an anti-Trump screed, talking about how Trump's essentially the biggest danger to America. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Now, how does that lead into, because with the team you guys have put together, and I forget the guy's name, it's John Searle, it's Sear, this one of the new lawyers there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, John Sowers, the- Yeah, he's an Alito guy. | |
| Sowers. | ||
| Talk to me about- because it looks like there's wins after wins, and Weissman is now kind of down into a thing, you know, he's shrunken into his turtleneck, like the turtle head he has, and he's talking about the expedited filing on the 23rd, but they're not talking about anything else. | ||
| Just for the audience, hasn't the game changed in the last week or so, ten days, of these Trump trials? | ||
| Absolutely, that you're seeing the Democrats are getting desperate. | ||
| Their house of cards, their political house of cards, their charade is falling apart. | ||
| It's been exposed. | ||
| It's falling apart. | ||
| Remember, they impeached Trump twice for nonsense. | ||
| They indicted him four times. | ||
| For non-crimes. | ||
| They're trying to bankrupt his business in New York for non-fraud. | ||
| They're not even letting—this Arthur Ingeroll is not even letting Trump put on a trial. | ||
| He just decreed before trial that Trump somehow committed fraud when Trump paid back sophisticated Wall Street banks in full as agreed on time with interest. | ||
| But somehow that's fraud in New York, and this judge wouldn't even allow a trial. | ||
| No witnesses, no other evidence. | ||
| He just said, yep, fraud. | ||
| We're just going to have a trial to figure out How much am I going to whack Trump with a penalty? | ||
| $250 million maybe? | ||
| That's a big chunk of money to try to take out President Trump financially. | ||
| And this is all backfiring, these impeachments, these indictments, this This bankruptcy, this case to bankrupt Trump and to destroy his business, they even threw the legal Hail Mary of dusting off the post-Civil War 14th Amendment to get rid of Confederate sympathizers who engaged in insurrection or rebellion. | ||
| They're trying to use that constitutional provision to take out Trump. | ||
| They think January 6th was somehow an insurrection. | ||
| How many insurrectionists go unarmed? | ||
| Into a nation's capital, get to the Senate floor, walk through velvet ropes, follow police direction, and don't burn down the damn place. | ||
| January 6th was a lawful protest permitted by the National Park Service that devolved into a riot. | ||
| And if it were an insurrection, why hasn't Jack Smith charged President Trump or anyone else with insurrection? | ||
| Because it didn't happen, right? | ||
| So, there's that. | ||
| The poll numbers... In the 4th... In the 4th... In the 4th of March, the 4th of March thing's gonna be pushed way down. | ||
| She stayed Any type of activity? | ||
| The Supreme Court's going to look at two of the charges coming up from a J6 defendant. | ||
| They won't rule on that until June, will they? | ||
| Well, I mean, here's the deal. | ||
| If these courts know the Supreme Court's going to have to rule on a key issue, key legal issue in Trump's case related to other defendants in other cases, You're going to go... Jack Smith and Tonya Schuchan think they're going to move forward with a trial and a conviction of a former president for the first time in American history who happens to be the leading presidential candidate, knowing that their decision will almost certainly get reversed by the Supreme Court, and you think that sounds crazy? | ||
| Well, that's Jack Smith's M.O. | ||
| He's the, Jack Smith is a political scud missile who Democrats send in to take out Republican presidential or vice presidential candidates. | ||
| That's what he did back in 2016 with former Virginia governor, Bob McDonald. | ||
| Jack Smith brought a bogus fraud case, a corruption case against governor McDonald, took him out as a likely presidential or vice presidential candidate in 2016. | ||
| Jack Smith was unanimously reversed by the Supreme Court. | ||
| It was eight to nothing. | ||
| It would have been nine to nothing, but Justice Scalia died. | ||
| It is really hard to have a criminal conviction overturned by the Supreme Court. | ||
| It's nearly impossible for that to happen unanimously. | ||
| But Jack Smith found the way. | ||
| That's why he got banished to the Hague. | ||
| He should have lost his law license. | ||
| He's a total partisan clown. | ||
| But Merrick Garland and Joe Biden brought him back to take out Trump because apparently there's a Trump derangement syndrome exception to the Constitution, to federal statutes, and just common sense. | ||
| Give me, and I want to hold you through the break. | ||
| I know you got to bounce, but I just want to hold you for a few minutes. | ||
| Give me the 14th Amendment. | ||
| It looks like that's all collapsing. | ||
| Am I safe to say it looks like it's collapsing in a number of states? | ||
| It is very much collapsing in many states. | ||
| I will say that this Colorado case still could come back to bite us because this Bias Denver District Court Judge Sarah Wallace, we called her out on her On her bias, when we pointed out she made a political contribution to an anti-Trump January 6th pact to chase Republicans out of office. | ||
| After the Democrat governor picked her last year, but before she started in January, she should not have sat on this trial. | ||
| And she sat on the trial. | ||
| She said that there was an insurrection, but the 14th Amendment doesn't apply to the president. | ||
| The Colorado Supreme Court stacked seven to nothing, could rule, could reverse that. | ||
| Hang on one second, Mike. | ||
| I want to ask you about the impeachment. | ||
| We've got a lot of economics to go through. | ||
| Laura Logan's going to join us. | ||
| It's going to be a little intense here in the War Room. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Back in a moment. | ||

Here's your host, Stephen K. Vance. | |
| Okay. | ||
| First off, get yourself a pot of Warpath coffee. | ||
| You're going to need it. | ||
| We're gonna get Zero Hedge finally caught up with the worm. | ||
| We love the guys over at Zero Hedge. | ||
| As long as you sometimes make sure where their links are taking you. | ||
| Right? | ||
| You gotta be very careful about the links over there. | ||
| But generally an excellent site. | ||
| They've got a detailed piece, Brad and I are going to get into in a moment, about now it all makes sense. | ||
| The financial and the deep state administrative state of the financial central bank and the treasury and the lords of easy money on Wall Street are coming for Trump, a big league. | ||
| They basically catch up with our thesis and they put some more charts on. | ||
| We'll talk about that in a second. | ||
| And for all of you, look, we have to have some strategery here, folks, at the rampart. | ||
| I'm gonna put up, I haven't gotten it yet, Bloomberg, Mike Johnson may be the next House Speaker to lose his job. | ||
| Huge article. | ||
| I'm gonna put it up in a minute, I'm gonna talk about that. | ||
| Mike Johnson's on notice, on watch, right? | ||
| Don't think we're going easy, we're going hard. | ||
| Now, we gotta give this guy a little headroom. | ||
| But, you know, they're coming back and it was his decision to stick out to the ninth. | ||
| It was his decision to get this NDA through. | ||
| And I'm telling you, there's just not enough time when they get back. | ||
| So this is going to be a clash of the titans. | ||
| This is going to be Predator versus Alien when he returns. | ||
| But the government, hey, shut it down, let it go. | ||
| You don't have a plan. | ||
| You've only got your four appropriations bill short in the House, including the controversial Justice Department and FBI one. | ||
| So we're ready to throw down. | ||
| He's got to understand he's got to throw down. | ||
| No more Christian talk. | ||
| Give me Christian action. | ||
| One thing they have done, and very smartly the way they've done, I think, not as urgent as we want, but quite smartly how they've teed it up. | ||
| Mike Davis, the impeachment. | ||
| This is the real deal. | ||
| People are starting to understand. | ||
| This is why Mark Elias and the smart guys on the other side are losing it. | ||
| Mark Elias is losing it. | ||
| He's already threatened. | ||
| He says, we're proud MAGA versus scared MAGA. | ||
| That scared MAGA, you know, these guys in New York are going to lose their seats in the house. | ||
| We're going to lose the house because of this. | ||
| Au contraire, sir. | ||
| If you look at the numbers, where people don't know a lot of the facts, it's 48-49 right now. | ||
| When we finish with this and people have their nose rubbed, And what Biden has done and on just the just the news, John Solomon sites got what I've been saying. | ||
| They tie it back directly to 2015 when he was VP on those early trips to China, early trips to China. | ||
| And then payoffs right afterwards, the CCP, Ukraine's going to be big, and how he's money laundering there. | ||
| You notice the kowtowing. | ||
| Janet Yellen today is criticizing Trump, saying Trump's policies hurt us vis-a-vis China. | ||
| No, ma'am, you would be dead wrong. | ||
| You're kowtowing. | ||
| The policies made America stronger and made the Chinese Communist Party weaker. | ||
| Everybody knows that. | ||
| That's an open secret. | ||
| They admit that. | ||
| So they're doing payoffs now to the CCP and they're doing payoffs to Zelensky for their silence because they know where the bodies are buried. | ||
| So we're gonna get to all of it. | ||
| Mike Davis, your thoughts, your first cut of your thoughts of how you view the impeachment process, how it's rolling right now. | ||
| Well, I'm impressed. | ||
| The House Republicans were all able to stick together because this is their highest constitutional duty is to ensure whether to ensure the president of the United States, the sitting president of the United States, is not compromised by foreign bribery and corruption. | ||
| And there's very clear evidence that Joe Biden is compromised by foreign bribery and other corruption. | ||
| of millions of dollars to every Biden family member it seems, except for the six-year-old granddaughter who they finally acknowledged under political pressure. This is not an inquiry about Hunter Biden being a crackhead. This is not about hookers and blow. This is about whether a president of the United States is compromised. And this has devastating effects for our country when Joe Biden is taking tens of millions of dollars, $10 | ||
| million from Burisma and $10 million from China, Russia, Kazakhstan. | ||
| It seems like every trouble spot around the world. | ||
| And here's the problem. | ||
| Remember this in Ukraine. | ||
| Obama put Vice President Biden in charge of Ukraine. | ||
| The Bidens went on the take, including with Burisma. | ||
| Putin knows they went on the tape. | ||
| Putin has the tapes, almost certainly, of the Burisma executive being shook down by Vice President Biden and Hunter Biden. | ||
| So guess what? | ||
| Putin knows that Biden is corrupt and compromised. | ||
| He invades Crimea. | ||
| Uh, during four years of Trump, we had peace and prosperity in Ukraine. | ||
| Putin knew not to mess with Trump because Trump would not allow it to happen. | ||
| And they didn't have blackmail on Trump, like they pretended. | ||
| They pretended like they had the Petini tapes on Trump. | ||
| Biden's back. | ||
| Now Putin's trying to take the rest of Ukraine. | ||
| We've spent $75 billion in counting as America trying to save three Russian-speaking provinces in eastern Ukraine that no one can name on a map, and that's because Putin knows that Biden is corrupt and compromised. | ||
| And by the way, we're going to pull the camera back. | ||
| The framing of this is going to be quite simple. | ||
| He's buying silence. | ||
| He was bought and paid for by the CCP and bought and paid for by the Ukrainians and he's this all this fanatical. | ||
| You got to get money to Ukraine. | ||
| You got to kowtow to the CCP and give him Taiwan and and have the 400 traders go bail him out with American pension fund money. | ||
| It's all the by their silence and we're not going to tolerate it. | ||
| That's why I was brought in on the laptop from health first. | ||
| I saw in July of 2020 in the first 10 minutes. | ||
| Remember, bribery and treason. | ||
| It's not just high crimes and misdemeanors. | ||
| That's what these guys keep talking about. | ||
| It's bribery, treason, high crimes and misdemeanors. | ||
| And we got bribery and treason up to their eyeballs. | ||
| And remember, folks, Chris Wray and Bill Barr, who are going to get their turn in the barrel, knew all about it in November and December of 2019. | ||
| Mike Davis. | ||
| You're on fire, brother. | ||
| This Stefanik thing, I'm telling you, Elise Stefanik, another hat tip. | ||
| This girl's on a roll. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| This going after this federal judge, as she should, is big time. | ||
| And it shows that Trump and the Trump forces are now on offense everywhere, every place, all time. | ||
| Mike, where do people go and get you? | ||
| article three project dot org article number three project dot org you can donate there at article three project at article number three project on getter twitter truth my personal at m r d d m i a m r d d m i and thank you steve okay brother um stefanik with a ethics complaint against a federal judge big time This is going to stir the pot. | ||
| And what we like is offense. | ||
| Go on offense. | ||
| Okay, Dave Brat. | ||
| Dave, the zero hedge, you've got other stuff to say about Tim Alberta when we get to that moment, but zero hedge, this story, we talked about it yesterday. | ||
| It's obvious the Fed and the Treasury Department are all in on flooding the zone with cash, destroying the U.S. | ||
| dollar. | ||
| They don't care to save Biden. | ||
| Your thoughts, sir? | ||
| Yeah, well, just in case people don't know, back under LBJ, he got real ticked off at McChesney Martin, the head of the Federal Reserve back then. | ||
| And he said, hey, you need to print me money so I can go to war. | ||
| And scared the daylights out of big six-foot-four LBJ, shoved him up against a wall, according to the records. | ||
| And the next time, he lowered interest rates and helped LBJ in the next election. | ||
| So what we're saying here is nothing new. | ||
| And so that piece showed very clearly there's hot economic news across unemployment rate, even production. | ||
| We said yesterday the nominal GDP is up 8.5%. | ||
| There's no way But hang on. | ||
| Whoa, whoa, whoa. | ||
| Don't get ahead of us. | ||
| That's all because of this massive Keynesian. | ||
| Right now, this is insane. | ||
| We're having a massive Keynesian stimulus right now. | ||
| This is trailing 12 months, $2.5 trillion, $200 billion a month deficit. | ||
| That's going directly into the economy. | ||
| Like, just a shot, right, of adrenaline. | ||
| When exactly you should be pulling all these things back. | ||
| They already should have been pulled back. | ||
| You should be pulling all this back. | ||
| That's the point. | ||
| Now they're, now they're, now with that, and with the numbers, they're gonna double or triple down. | ||
| Am I correct, sir? | ||
| Yeah, that's right. | ||
| And, you know, we're doing all the wrong things. | ||
| We're going into debt, throwing the debt into government spending. | ||
| All of it is displacing manufacturing and the private sector. | ||
| We've made long-term terrible moves, shifting all the jobs to China. | ||
| China's falling apart. | ||
| The head of the IMF yesterday said we're going to shave 7% off of global GDP if we don't buddy up with the communists. | ||
| All this to say it's all coming home, but right now they're just trying to get out of it for political story. | ||
| And so you're a crack economist. | ||
| You gave me over a minute during the break to catch up on this story. | ||
| Guess what I found? | ||
| You go out to Ed Giardini, December 1, the Taylor rule right now. | ||
| This is how you sort through it and see if it's politics or economics. | ||
| The Taylor Rule suggests the federal funds rate should be 6.99, not 5.3, which it is right now. | ||
| So the Fed should still be tightening, cooling things off, and that doesn't even take into account the latest hot data that came out over the past few weeks. | ||
| So the Federal Reserve shift, everyone's scratching their heads. | ||
| Everybody with a brain knows what's going on. | ||
| It's pure politics. | ||
| The government sector is at work flooding the zone, as you said, with fiscal policy. | ||
| There's still $8 trillion on the Federal Reserve balance sheet. | ||
| The House of Representatives should be the megaphone on this, right? | ||
| We need to go all in hard making the case to the American people so they understand what's going on. | ||
| And then you negotiate from your strong position with the Senate. | ||
| Instead, on these budget issues, we're just caving to the Senate and the White House immediately, and they're the ones who are leading the charge and putting us in terrible fiscal shape right now. | ||
| Talk to me, let's pivot, let's do the Tim Alberta. | ||
| Talk to me about the Tim Alberta. | ||
| Tim Alberta is the one that's saying the church, traditional Catholics and evangelicals love their country. | ||
| The problem is, Christian nationalism, people love their country so much that it's a problem. | ||
| And Rob Reiner, a progressive Jew, is telling us that Christian nationalism is a threat to Christianity, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So, you know, all these guys now. | ||
| It's Christian Nationalism. | ||
| This audience is the problem. | ||
| Christian Nationalism is the problem. | ||
| Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, He's the problem, sir. | ||
| You know, and it's a real problem. | ||
| The reason I want to go over it again is because I've had friends texting me his book, and they're concerned with what he wrote in it. | ||
| And so, you know, get out your number two pencil, young people. | ||
| I'll just cover a few things. | ||
| First of all, Tim has worked for Politico and The Atlantic, and he puts two books out, both hit pieces on Trump, right before the Trump elections. | ||
| He wrote this one, timed at the Trump election. | ||
| He wrote the last one, with a horrific title, right before the election. | ||
| And he's an evangelical Christian, and his main message is evangelical Christians should not be involved in politics. | ||
| Well, his whole life is a hitman with a bunch of leftists. | ||
| And he's on Morning Mika and all the leftist guys around. | ||
| James Carville, who's just awful. | ||
| And he's with the big state people questioning whether the right is creating a theocracy and fascism. | ||
| And so here's how, you know, instead of just the name calling and going back and forth, I seriously just don't think he understands political economy. | ||
| And so the Judeo-Christian West has produced four major institutions Which are all aimed at preventing fascism, and a big state, and Nazism, and Marxism, etc. | ||
| The first is called democracy, right? | ||
| As Montesquieu said, if the democracy is too small, it'll fail, and if it's too big, it'll fail. | ||
| So our founders formed a republic, item number two. | ||
| All of this only originated in the republic in America, of course, but only in Judeo-Christian lands. | ||
| This is the architecture we set up, and what are the defining characteristics of a republic? | ||
| The protection of minorities, protection of rights, life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, which come from God, and then the separation of powers brought to you by James Madison of Princeton Seminary. | ||
| A separation of executive power in particular. | ||
| We're losing on all these fronts, like I just described in the economics. | ||
| Precisely because the church has gotten weak and they don't understand their fundamental language anymore. | ||
| None of this is directly in the Bible. | ||
| It takes some study. | ||
| But all of it works its way out from the Bible. | ||
| The third one is human rights. | ||
| The whole human rights architecture only originates in Western Europe and then the U.S. | ||
| in Judeo-Christian lands. | ||
| The fourth one, The free market system, similarly Adam Smith, Calvinist Scotland, the Scottish Enlightenment... Dave, hang on one second. | ||
| We're going to take a short break. | ||
| Dave, Brad, join us. | ||
| Okay, we're going to get back to Brad and the institutions of the Judeo-Christian West. | ||
| Remember, for a group that's supposed to be the fascists, we're the ones on fire about FISA. | ||
| We want to stop the ability to surveil American citizens, whether it's Bernie Sanders or the AOC crowd or the squad. | ||
| It's not acceptable. | ||
| Not acceptable from the administrative in the deep state. | ||
| They're the ones who want to do it. | ||
| All the great civil libertarians on the left, Morning Meek and the crowd. | ||
| Oh, it's so important. | ||
| You have to have it. | ||
| You don't have to have it. | ||
| You don't need to surveil American citizens. | ||
| And that's what they're doing. | ||
| And we're supposed to be the totalitarians and authoritarians. | ||
| Look at the actions. | ||
| Check the actions to see their bald face lies. | ||
| Let's bring in Mike Lindell. | ||
