| The Bulwark today in an interview. | ||
| He made an effing movie that's called Government Gangsters, and the first guy is Merrick Garland, okay? | ||
| And Lisa Monaco is in there, who the nation doesn't know. | ||
| We're trying to make these people famous. | ||
| So no, first of all, it has to happen. | ||
| Number two, it's going to happen. | ||
| Government gangsters are the group of individuals, career bureaucrats, who have been installed by what we call the deep state into every agency and department in the United States government. | ||
| Had Donald Trump not won in 2016, he would not have exposed the flank of the deep state and their weapon of choice, the two-tier system of justice. | ||
| From Russiagate, to Hunter Biden's laptop, to Joe Biden's classified documents case, to January 6th, to the 51 Intel letter and everything in between. | ||
| We would never have learned that. | ||
| These people are dangerous and vindictive, learning from their mistakes and perfecting ways to hide their corruption. | ||

|
It is finally time for a straightforward assessment of the state of our nation. | |
| That sounded to me like, first of all, a message to Kash Patel, who is on the Hill, like all the other nominees, trying to make good with some of these senators. | ||
| This is not something you can back away from. | ||
| How is Kash Patel going to explain this if he has to back away from some of this retribution that he himself laid out in his book? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I'm glad you said that because the senators are going to be the ones holding his feet to the fire on this because he's going to start bleeding support if he doesn't have a good answer. | |
| And the answer is he needs to show evidence To prove it. | ||
| I think we all are for rooting out corruption in our government, for rooting it out at the FBI, for rooting it out at DOJ. Sign me up. | ||
| And there is plenty of history to look back on at the FBI and DOJ of wrongdoing. | ||
| We know the FBI became more political under Comey. | ||
| But he needs to show evidence or else the support that he's building will crumble. | ||
| I was thinking more of during the Civil Rights Movement. | ||
| But then he talks about the types of investigations. | ||
| And as we know, a lot of it surrounds Trump. | ||
| He says there's a vast criminal conspiracy, including the media's. | ||
| Was it Andrew Weissman and all of those FBI guys that work on MSNBC? I think there will be big investigations into all of these people. | ||
| I think there's going to be huge investigations, I believe, into 2020. I think it's going to be a huge investigation on January 6th. | ||
| The Fed's surrection. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| What? | ||
| It's insane. | ||
| It's going to be a huge investigation about the vast criminal conspiracy against President Trump. | ||
| I mean, really? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's an effort to rewrite reality, right? | |
| I mean, there was an election. | ||
| It was considered a safe and secure election. | ||
| There was an attack on the Capitol and everything that followed. | ||
| But now we have somebody who's been reelected who still never acknowledged that that election was legitimate. | ||
| We've had four years of President Biden. | ||
| He is leaving. | ||
| Election went for Donald Trump. | ||
| Yet they're still litigating four years ago. | ||
| And Bannon is not in a position to be in the White House at the moment. | ||
| He is not the senior advisor or chief of staff. | ||
| So he's finding ways. | ||
| And he's very influential. | ||
| I mean, he is he's out of out of prison now. | ||
| And and I think that he thinks of himself as one of the many kind of leaders of the MAGA army, the sort of rank and file who power Donald Trump. | ||
| I hate to say this, I know you got a bunch of still Republican Orthodox folks out here. | ||
| You're gonna have to raise taxes on the wealthy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, both parties got us into this. | |
| Only the populist nationalists could get it out. | ||
| I don't know what the reception was in that audience. | ||
| He's kind of a little tepid. | ||
| But he's talking, he's serious about this. | ||
| He told Sam Ford later, he also, he believes raising taxes on the wealthy is the only way to get the other part of the Trump agenda, which is tax cuts, into existence. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's kind of fascinating to me because we've been listening to Democrats saying the only reason that what was happening on the Hill was because, oh, President Trump went to that debt ceiling so he could give all of his rich friends a tax break. | |
| Now we have very prominent people in the movement talking about we may have to raise taxes on the wealthy. | ||
| Like, it's never unpopular to say that, right? | ||
| I mean, like, I think we had bipartisanship right there. | ||
| You were agreeing with Steve Bannon, weren't you? | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| So it's never unpopular. | ||
| But do you think he's right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So do the American people, by the way. | |
| If you believe in populism, Trump is a populist candidate. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd like to hear how high he'd like to raise them. | |
| I'd like to hear how high he'd like to take the corporate tax. | ||
| We had the highest rate in the world at 35%. | ||
| Now we're down closer to the average. | ||
| Okay, we want a tax. | ||
| Let's hear it from him. | ||
| I'd like to see his proposal. | ||
| If not, a lot of people aren't as rich as they think. | ||
| Oh, yeah, and Trump was one of them, right? | ||
| The irony being that he managed to work the tax system and call himself a billionaire, yet For many years, pay zero in taxes. | ||
| So that's part of it. | ||
| It's not just tax the wealthy. | ||
| It would be great if Doge decided to actually look at the tax code and plug up some of those holes that allow people who are wealthy to not pay as much as people who are poor. | ||
| But I want to also just make the point, and Ronald Reagan once said, you can grow the economy as big as you want, you can tax people as much as you want, but it's worth a hill of beans if we don't get our addiction to spending under control. | ||
| That's where we're at. | ||
| And you're completely correct. | ||
| It's very easy to say raise taxes on them. | ||
| It's very hard to pick a number of what is fair. | ||
| But rich people don't just pay income tax. | ||
| Often they pay different taxes that make up for... | ||
| Actually, rich people tend to not pay income tax at all. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Exactly. | |
| But my point is, making the tax code fair, yes. | ||
| The rate, that's where I would... | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| Here's one time I got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people. | ||
| The people have had a belly full of it. | ||
| I know you don't like hearing that. | ||
| I know you try to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. | ||
| It's going to happen. | ||
| And where do people like that go to share the big lie? | ||
|
unidentified
|
MAGA media. | |
| I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? | ||
| If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. | ||

War Room. | |
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Band. | ||
| Yay! | ||
| It's... | ||
|
unidentified
|
War Room! War Room! War Room! War Room! | |
| Saturday, 21 December, the year of our Lord, 2024. | ||
| You're here at the War Room at Phoenix State. | ||
| The crowd's just coming in. | ||
| The gates are being open. | ||
| The floodgates are being open. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hold it. | |
| Hang on. | ||
| Is this the James O'Keefe after-party? | ||
| This is the hardcore crowd. | ||
| That was actually a Laura Loomer-Milo title fight last night. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The things you see at AmFest. | |
| Wow. | ||
| Okay folks, a lot to get to. | ||
| A bunch of stuff happened in D.C. and Natalie's going to be up here in a little while to talk about it. | ||
| There's this whole controversy now about Biden. | ||
| The Wall Street Journal and the New York Times have come out with definitive pieces. | ||
| Talk about how staff knew that Biden was a puppet for all four years. | ||
| He wasn't actually cognizant of what he was doing. | ||
| There's a big rumor, Kamala Harris, Daily Mail reported, Kamala Harris was going to California for Christmas and she got off the plane and is now back in D.C. People were saying she had to break a tie in the Senate, but that was never going to be a question, so there's a bunch of things going on there. | ||
| You also saw government gangsters are in full meltdown. | ||
| I gave an interview yesterday with Tim Miller. | ||
| You know Tim Miller? | ||
| Is it pearls or pukas, right? | ||
| I think we got a video of Natalie also chatting up Tim Miller last night at one of the parties at the James O'Keefe party. | ||
| I gave an interview with Tim Miller and said, hey, this is a vast criminal conspiracy against President Trump, and these investigations are going to take place, and they need to take place. | ||
| This is not about revenge for President Trump. | ||
| President Trump, you guys agree, right? | ||
| They have to happen. | ||
| This is not about... | ||
| President Trump is focused on the sunlit uplands and everything he's got to do. | ||
| And you've seen for the last, you know, 72 hours what a fiasco it is to have, you know, MAGA Mike Johnson. | ||
| Is Johnson MAGA Mike? | ||
| Is that... | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do we want to... | |
| Look at the crowd. | ||
| That shot right there is amazing. | ||
| No, let's get more of that. | ||
| Hold it, hold it. | ||
| Vacate the chair? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You guys want to vacate the chair? | |
| They're saying you're just churning through speakers. | ||
| Is there some reason for that? | ||
| You just finally want somebody to stand up and get organized? | ||
| I mean, think about it. | ||
| The easiest thing we had to do, the simplest thing of everything President Trump, because today all the articles, by the way, are about reconciliation, right? | ||
| Now they're worried about reconciliation and they got Larry Kudlow, I think. | ||
| Larry Kudlow is banging his head on the table over at Fox. | ||
| Saying that, you know, you have to have one, you have taxes have to come first. | ||
| And he's not talking about tax cuts for the working people, right? | ||
| He's talking about tax cuts for the wealthy and more tax cuts for the corporations. | ||
| Of which, by the way, I'm not, when you're an entrepreneur, right, particularly an LLC or entrepreneur, there's no way we can raise corporate taxes on entrepreneurs. | ||
| I mean, you guys are taxed. | ||
| Enough already. | ||
| But this is taxes on multinationals or taxes on these large corporations that, quite frankly, their tax rates, when you look at it, are quite small. | ||
| I mean, it used to be 35. President Trump got it down to 21. He's proposed 15 percent if you bring jobs back. | ||
| We're all for that, if you bring jobs back. | ||
| But what happens is they've just gamed the system. | ||
| Every time you give them a tax cut, particularly when President Trump gave them a tax cut, You didn't stop them from doing stock buybacks, right? | ||
| And there's a theoretical financial thing they teach at Harvard about buying your equity when it's underpriced and it's smarter for your shareholders. | ||
| But the principal driving function when they do that is to raise the stock price so they can get their warrant package and options package and make a ton of dough and then move on. | ||
| And that's why these companies never really reinvest in capital equipment. | ||
| So the reconciliation is a huge fight. | ||
| But Mike Johnson, what happened in the last 48 hours, Is the simplest thing, the easiest thing that President Trump's going to have an opportunity to do in all of 2025? | ||
| I was with Megyn Kelly yesterday and I said, look, he's got about six months to a year, right? | ||
| Six months to a year to get his basic core parts of his agenda done. | ||
| And that's why you guys are so far up to speed. | ||
| In fact, if you look at last night on CNN, you see them talking about these things. | ||
| It's so... | ||
| It's simplistic the way they talk about it. | ||
| They don't have anywhere near, really, not just the information, but you guys have trained yourself to understand in a much more sophisticated way what's actually going on, and that's what we're going to need going forward. | ||
| This is going to be a firestorm. | ||
| I'm telling you, everything is hard enough on these wars. | ||
| Everything is hard on the deportations, which these are, you know, to stop a kinetic part of a third world war, which was not done in World War II, to deport You know, 10 to 15 million illegal aliens and to do it in a humane way, but they gotta go, right? | ||
| To do the criminals. | ||
| These are immensely complicated logistics, political, narrative, all that. | ||
| That pales in comparison to setting, when you have 36 trillion dollars and you're adding a trillion dollars every hundred days, and the tax burden's already too much, you have a population you can tell right now can barely keep up, and that's where the credit card debt is going on, which are really just People are just barring themselves to leverage themselves. | ||
| This is hard. | ||
| And you can tell yesterday, I mean, what Johnson did was basically he allowed Hakeem Jeffries and these guys to have another spending orgy with no offsets. | ||
| Like the bill last night, and this is why the 30 people got to understand. | ||
| I think we need to do a better job of informing them. | ||
| They're not against President Trump. | ||
| They're actually for him. | ||
| But like, for instance, the FEMA situation. | ||
| They still have not proven to any of us that cash is not there, right? | ||
| And it has not been spent. | ||
| I happen to believe it's the Biden regime trying to hurt President Trump and particularly trying to hurt MAGA voters in Western North Carolina and, you know, Anna Polina Luna's and other districts in Florida that are MAGA. They're trying to torment him and torture him, right? | ||
| So we haven't found that out, but also We kind of have an implicit agreement that if we do things like that, you're going to have offsets. | ||
| You have to go, so you're just not spending all the time. | ||
| You have to have offsets. | ||
| And we kind of waived on the offsets. | ||
| To make sure that we do this in time. | ||
| You guys, I think, are pretty unanimous, are close to unanimous. | ||
| Shutting down the government wouldn't have been a big deal. | ||
| And if they get all the – because they're going to shut TSA down immediately at O'Hara Airport and Atlanta Airport, and CNN's going to have that camera on little kids crying with the packages for grandma that's not going to get there. | ||
| But you guys would still, you would have been very comfortable with the government shutdown, right? | ||
| You would have shut it down. | ||

Vox Populi. | |
| Vox Deus. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We're here for the next couple of hours. | ||
| I'm also going to try to do a meet and greet. | ||
| We're also getting a room for early this afternoon so we can kind of hang out and we're trying to get that for an hour or two. | ||
| So today we're spending with the War Room Posse here at AmFest 2024. We'll continue with the James O'Keefe after party. | ||
| Did James O'Keefe dance last night? | ||
| Did he dance? | ||
| I don't know, man. | ||
| He got theater kids in high school, then he got the dance kids. | ||
| I don't know about that. | ||
| He likes Broadway musicals, too. | ||
|

|
Short break. | |
| Back in a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
The joke right now in Mar-a-Lago is essentially they're going to be having their winters in Mar-a-Lago, not in Washington. | |
| And that's a sign of the power center essentially moving away from the congressional structures that we've all got used to watching slavishly. | ||
| I think business leaders right now are not afraid of any backlash. | ||
| Right? | ||
| So in 2016, they knew they had to deal with Trump, but they didn't want to go to the White House. | ||
| They were anxious about joining business councils because they didn't want to face boycotts from customers or employees. | ||
| Donald Trump won fair and square, but it wasn't a landslide. | ||
| Why don't they have that fear now? | ||
| I think in 2016 there was such shock that most people thought this was temporary. | ||
| It was like a burst of extreme insanity if you didn't like it or extreme victory for a period of time if you did. | ||
| And people thought that it would die down and go away. | ||
| I think now people realize that actually the second time that Donald Trump has gone back into the White House will be a sign that the entire zeitgeist of the country is shifting. | ||
| This is becoming normalized. | ||
| The whole way we imagine politics is changing. | ||
| And populism is no longer a dirty word at all. | ||
| And that's going to be there for a long time. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Mann. | ||
| Okay, welcome back. | ||
| You got to think about this for a second. | ||
| Just think about it. | ||
| Did you ever think in a million years that the... | ||
| Right there is Gillian Tett, the British woman speaking. | ||
| She's the head of King... | ||
| Her day job is she's the chief kind of markets expert, monetary expert for the Financial Times of London. | ||
| She's one of the editors, okay? | ||
| So she's one of the smartest people in the world about markets. | ||
| She's also the head of King's College... | ||
| At Cambridge. | ||
| Have you ever gotten the Christmas carols of King's College? | ||
| It's like the best English. | ||
| So she's completely hardwired into this. | ||
| She is the system, right? | ||
| That is the Financial Times of London, which is the globalist newspaper of record, right? | ||
| It's the New York Times of the world. | ||
| And she's King's College. | ||
| Which is here in Cambridge, they have different colleges. | ||
| It's the number one college, the choir, it's where the queen goes, everything. | ||
| So that is the system. | ||
| And right there she's saying, and she reports on, she knows all those billionaires that hang around Mar-a-Lago but all over the world. | ||
| And all they're talking about now is populism. | ||
| They all want to be populist. | ||
| Everybody, you guys, you guys are the populist, right? | ||
| I've had this and now you're, it's like in high school, you have become the cool kids table. | ||
| But the question is, are you going to let them sit at the table? | ||
| It's really the question. | ||
| I hate to get it down to that simple, but you're going to see they are going to try to roll you so hard over the next year, right? | ||
| They finally realize that political power in the United States actually does reside with the people, okay? | ||
| The people have to be organized or self-organized. | ||
| They have to be around a handful of principles. | ||
| A leader like President Trump, which People say, well, who's going to follow Trump? | ||
| I say, dude, who knows? | ||
| Because it is – a guy like President Trump is not once in a generation. | ||
| Only a couple times in the history of this republic or in the history of the world have you seen someone like Trump come along with that personality and that magnetism, right? | ||
| And kind of that kind heart and the ability – think about it. | ||
| What guy who had just won the presidency after everything he's been through, put in prison, would get on a plane early in the morning and fly out here to talk to you guys, right? | ||
| Think about it. | ||
| He's doing it as a tribute to Arizona, but it's a tribute to you because he understands. | ||
| Now, everybody in the world, I'm going to just tell you what's going to happen. | ||
| Everybody in the world, like today, you got the world's journalists are all here. | ||
| And they're all deconstructing what's going on on the stage, right? | ||
| My speech was blowing their heads up about, you know, we're going to do this. | ||
| The speech was just a morning war room rant, right? | ||
| Even a light one. | ||
| Although I did drop too many F-bombs. | ||
| You know, my mother was a hammer on that. | ||
| She'd drag you right in the bathroom, man. | ||
| She'd wash your mouth out with soap. | ||
| And you could, Mom, Mom, I won't do it again. | ||
| She was grinding that ivory right in there. | ||
| You're damn right you'll never do it again. | ||
| Wait till your father gets home. | ||
| Not the belt, Mom, not the belt. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So... | |
| Now, why have we come to this past? | ||
| Why, in all the coverage, or all of a sudden, they're all, you know, populism, and the Democrats are running around, they want to be, everybody wants to be a populist. | ||
| You guys were a populist, you know, years and years ago, and nobody paid attention to you. | ||
| In fact, in those days, they did, exactly, Tea Party, Ross Perot, all of it, Buchanan, in the early days of Trump, President Trump and his movement, You weren't populist then. | ||
| You weren't populist nationalists. | ||
| You were racist. | ||
| You were deplorables. | ||
| What did Biden call you? | ||
| Garbage? | ||
| Garbage? | ||
| But they now realize, and here's what's got them afraid, is that not just you have latent political power, you have real political power. | ||
| And what you stand for, which is basic, simple Americanism, is actually attracted Other people, demographics, African-American men, Hispanic families, Asians. | ||
| This is growing. | ||
| And here's the whole thing, if you just think about it. | ||
| We just have to flip the way that the political class looks at things. | ||
| Now, we've done a great job in shifting this narrative. | ||
| I mean, think about... | ||
| CNN or Fox News, these things years ago. | ||
| You would never hear any of this. | ||
| It was like they got slapped upside the head finally in 2024 with the comeback. | ||
| Because remember, for all the talk now, yeah, we knew Trump was on the landslide. | ||
| You go up till... | ||
| North Carolina got called. | ||
| They were all, early in the evening, you know, Kamala Harris, and look, the universities are turning out and the cities are turning out and all this is going to happen, right? | ||
| They thought up to the moment that really, North Carolina and then later Pennsylvania, that they had this deal. | ||
| They thought, and hey, if they had won, you think that we were tortured beforehand? | ||
| You don't have any idea what they had planned. | ||
| Because these are not good people. | ||
| They will use the power of the state to go after folks. | ||
| But here's what has to flip, and if we just did everything in this framework, is that if you look back at the Roman Republic, the Roman Republic had one strong thing going for it. | ||
| The reason that Republic is what the framers of the Constitution really looked at the Roman Republic, and they particularly looked at what happened to the Roman Republic And how it declined. | ||
| You know, not the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, it was the decline and fall of the Roman Republic. | ||
| How did that happen and it deteriorated? | ||
| And one thing at the top of its game, the Republic, citizenship came first. | ||
| And citizenship was very exclusive. | ||
| It was a huge deal when they debated to take citizenship outside of Rome, just to the region around Italy, then to make it for all Italians, right? | ||
| And then to make it actually for people that actually weren't in Italy, to give citizenship out there and very respected. | ||
| Everything that we do has to be in the prism of how does it work for American citizens. | ||
| So it's America first, but it's also a corollary that is American citizens first. | ||
| You guys, here's why, here's why, here's why. | ||
| The entire system, the entire global system is on your shoulders. | ||
| The entire monetary system is on your shoulders. | ||
| The entire kind of economic system is on your shoulders. | ||
| The entire security system is on your shoulders. | ||
| And one, you're never given credit for it. | ||
| But number two, you're not treated like, hey, you are the full faith and credit of the United States. | ||
| When you talk to people around the world in global capital markets, right, and they always talk about the safe haven of American investing and the liquidity. | ||
| And liquidity of American capital markets is that there's a lot of people who want to put money throughout the world into American bonds and stocks and real estate, everything like that. | ||
| It's not because we have a better Security and Exchange Commission. | ||
| We have a good one, but Singapore is good, and Japan actually could be argued better. | ||
| Europe's got good ones. | ||
| So the regulatory apparatus here is good, but the City of London and others are good. | ||
| Our central bank is just as screwed up as anybody's, right? | ||
| In fact, it continues to print money to pay for the legislators and the executives' massive deficits. | ||
| So that's another aspect of it. | ||
| But the reason the money's here, the liquidity comes, is because America's a safe place to invest. | ||
| Now why is America a safe place to invest? | ||
| It's the little guy. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| It's civic society. | ||
| It's what Edmund Burke called the little platoons. | ||
| It's the Kiwanis Club. | ||
| It's the local churches. | ||
| It's the youth organizations. | ||
| It's evening softball in the summer, right? | ||
| It's all those things that are American that really provide for this underpinning of safety and security that people know they're going to get their money back. | ||
| If they put it here, that they look and they say, these are decent people, these are good people, these are hardworking people. | ||
| That's this underpinning. | ||
| That's the full faith and credit. | ||
| When they talk all this big talk on Capitol Hill and bond defaults and all that stuff, the full faith and credit It's not the Federal Reserve. | ||
| It's not the Congress. | ||
| It's not the executive branch. | ||
| It's not the court system. | ||
| It's the American people. | ||
| You're the full faith and credit. | ||
| Well, think about it. | ||
| So the entire global capital system rests on your shoulders. | ||
| The entire security system rests on your shoulders. | ||
| We have 150,000 basically airmen, marines, sailors, and army personnel in 150 countries. | ||
| The entire post-war international rules-based order. | ||
| is rest on your shoulders, okay? | ||
| Yet, you always get the short end of the stick. | ||
| They try to cede your sovereignty, your sovereignty to global, you know, whether it's WHO in Geneva, or the G8, or NATO, or you pick it. | ||
| Anytime they have an opportunity, they're all over there like big shots at the Munich Security Council, everything like that. | ||
| They're giving away your sovereignty. | ||
| What is popular? | ||
| Populism, quite simply, has a material aspect of it, but it has a spiritual aspect to it. | ||
| It is the manifestation of the sovereign will of the people, right? | ||
| And the people spoke on November 5th. | ||
| Now, thank God we have an instrument, Donald Trump, which I say is an instrument of divine providence. | ||
| If you didn't have Trump, we'd be in a hell of a jam, right? | ||
| And to show you how much he appreciated. | ||
| And what other leader has ever done this in our country? | ||
| To get up? | ||
| Nobody. | ||
| To get up after winning. | ||
| After winning. | ||
| And most guys take a month off. | ||
| Right? | ||
| He didn't take a day off. | ||
| And now he's schlepping out here on a Sunday before Christmas? | ||
| I mean, come on. | ||
| You can't even play golf. | ||
| He's going to come out here at 10, you know, leave at dawn to get out here at 1030 in the morning to give a speech in appreciation of you. | ||
| I mean, that's extraordinary. | ||
| But that is, that's what populism, but it's the point is he understands. | ||
| That power does not rest in Mar-a-Lago with those billionaires. | ||
| Power does not rest in Capitol Hill. | ||
| Power does not rest in New York City with the capital markets or the media. | ||
| Power rests right here with you. | ||
| And that's why he's coming out here to show respect for you. | ||
| Respect. | ||
| Short break. | ||

| her daughter came home one afternoon and didn't even stop to play And she said, Mama got a note here from the Harper Valley PTA Well, the note said, Mrs. Johnson, you're wearing your dress is way too hot. | ||
| It's reported you've been drinking and are running around with men and going wild. | ||
| And we don't believe you ought to be a-bringin' up your name for your name. | ||
| If you're silent, I'd miss you clearly walk through anything with you. | ||
| When you're having that p-t-t-t, it was very nice to be. | ||
| I wish you surprised when Mrs. Johnson wore her me skirt into the door. | ||
| Okay, okay, okay. | ||
| Bye. | ||
| That did not, we blew that. | ||
| That did not come on. | ||
| Okay, sir. | ||
| Okay, how many here, and this is because we have so many, the War Room production staff, Natalie Winters and Will Blair and Cameron Wallace and Jane Zirkle and my team here, as you notice, they're, you know, I get called a lot about abusing child labor laws, right? | ||
| They're on the young side. | ||
| So this, so Matt Gaetz, we love Matt Gaetz, right? | ||
| And like Pete Hexeth, and we love Pete Hexeth, right? | ||
| And Bobby Kennedy, and Steve Bannon, and Steve Bannon, and President Trump, right? | ||
| Those are all imperfect vessels, correct? | ||
| Okay, and Gates has got a little, you know, there's a little hair on that, you know, Gates, his nomination. | ||
| I was very upset that Gates withdrew. | ||
| So Matt, you know, technically I find out that Matt really hasn't, he withdrew from this Congress, but technically I found out that Matt has not actually technically withdrawn from the next Congress. | ||
| Now I want to think about those possibilities, right? | ||
| Matt Gaetz, who took down Kevin McCarthy, and this whole thing with the Ethics Committee knows nothing but vengeance about DC class, and they hate Gaetz. | ||
| I mean, do you see their heads blow up when they announce him as Attorney General of the United States? | ||
| That there right there tells you their reaction is why you want him. | ||
| Right? | ||
| I want two. | ||
| Give me two. | ||
| And under no circumstances should we let him resign, but he did. | ||
| And he stepped down, excuse me, from the nomination and resigned from the current Congress. | ||
| But Matt has not withdrawn from the second conference. | ||
| And so, you know, Matt, he put it up. | ||
| Do we have that tweet? | ||
| Will Blair, my production staff, Evercrack production staff. | ||
| Do we have the tweet that Matt Gaetz put up? | ||
| I think it's a tweet, Matt. | ||
| So Matt put out a tweet the other day. | ||
| And he said, hey, if you guys keep giving me a hard time, and you keep rolling with me, I'm coming back on January 3rd, I'm going to take the oath, and I'm going to spend the whole first week, if you're going to play a game with his ethics committee, right? | ||
| You're going to play a game with his ethics committee? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He says, I'll out all you guys. | |
| Every guy that's slept with an intern, every guy that's with his secretary, right? | ||
| Everybody messing around with the page, right? | ||
| These. | ||
| Hey. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now. | |
| Wow. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| Now, I know a couple, three people every now and You know, follow Q, right? | ||
| Maybe. | ||
| Just kind of keep up to speed, never know what's happening. | ||
| He's got something to say about what goes on Capitol Hill. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| Gates, you don't know where Matt Gates is going to go. | ||
| And I keep telling you, you back a guy like that in the corner, who's a smart guy, and they got these allegations. | ||
| They already leaked them all anyway, right? | ||
| You know, put your report out. | ||
| We're big boys and girls. | ||
| He's not perfect. | ||
| We didn't, we weren't running him for, we wouldn't put him up to be saint, right? | ||
| He's got, he's got, he had some issues, and hey, but previously before he got married, and the Justice Department never, and much as they hated him, they never came after him, right? | ||
| And they came after him, they didn't indict him. | ||
| So, so I put up on, on Getter, and I told my staff, I said, Matt Gates is going to come back, and he's going to go full Harper Valley PTA. All the War Room production team go, what? | ||
| And I go, no, Harper Valley PTA. They go, what are you talking about? | ||
| I go, no, come on. | ||
| So I asked my security detail a little older. | ||
| I said, guys, if I say Harper Valley PTA, what do you think? | ||
| They go, what are you talking about? | ||
| That song is such a... | ||
| I tell you what, let's play it as my out music. | ||
| What we're gonna do is play Harper Valley and then... | ||
| Because I knew... | ||
| You guys know Harper Valley PTA, right? | ||
| Right? | ||
| They're getting on the mom, they're getting on the, and I think she's a single mom, they're getting on the mom for wearing a miniskirt, this is back in the 60s, I don't know, go-go boots. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hey, and she shows up, and she tells them exactly like it is, right? | |
| So, now listen, so here's the thing, and I think Matt's going to need to know that people have his back. | ||
| Do we care what an ethics committee report says about Matt Gaetz? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| Do we love Matt Gaetz? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| Do we want Matt Gaetz back in the fight? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes! | |
| Look, the Herrings and One American News, a great news organization, you know, he gets his deal over there, does it, but Matt Gaetz has got to come back the first week of January and take the oath and sign up for this team, right? | ||
| So I want MSNBC, we want to tell MSNBC and CNN where to stick it about Matt Gaetz, where the sun don't shine. | ||
| We want Matt Gaetz back, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Matt! | |
| See, what they try to do, if you're intimidated on anything, instead of backing down like the Republicans do, you double down, right? | ||
| Instead of retreat, we go fix bayonets and we advance. | ||
| This is what saved Hexeth, right? | ||
| Instead of surrender, we fight. | ||
| Hell, we could have surrendered four years ago with President Trump and Mar-a-Lago. | ||
| He could have surrendered. | ||
| If history shows us anything, we can't be too aggressive, right? | ||
| First off, they're a bunch of snowflakes. | ||
| If you get up in their grill and you keep driving forward, they're a crater. | ||
| They won't stand up to it. | ||
| We need Gates back in, don't we? | ||
| And in fact, when he comes back, Matt, here's what we need to do. | ||
| The first day, you need to have a press conference. | ||
| You need to go full Harper Valley PTA. We want to hear names. | ||
| We want evidence. | ||
|
unidentified
|
What? What? What? What? What? What? | |
| I don't know what they've done worse, is their own personal behavior up there or what they've done to the country, but that's kind of a point. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Both. | |
| I like that. | ||
| So, you know, Matt's got to come back. | ||
| And here's the other thing Matt's pretty good at. | ||
| Matt's pretty good about changing out speakers of the House. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Man. | |
| And McCarthy is like a bad rash. | ||
| He just will not go away. | ||
| McCarthy, go back. | ||
| You raise a bunch of money and you're going to be AI. I don't know. | ||
| I think if I was putting money in a venture capital firm about artificial intelligence, the guy I certainly would love running it is McCarthy. | ||
| Maybe not. | ||
| The pledge chairman. | ||
| So Matt's going to change it out. | ||
| And I think when he gets back, is not the first order of business to replace Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House? | ||
| Can Mike Johnson, can Mike Johnson execute, can he execute on President Trump's, does he have, does he have the faith of you, the American MAGA? I don't know. | ||
| I think of all the most egregious things of 1,500 page, and it was a spending orgy of Hakeem Jeffries' priorities, right? | ||
| But the thing, I think it sticks in everybody's craw. | ||
| With the economy where it is, with the credit card debt where it is, with, you know, where the kids under 35 don't have, can't buy a house, they have no capital formation, marriages are becoming later. | ||
| Right? | ||
| The family formation is later. | ||
| Because people want to say, hey, is this guy really going to work out or not? | ||
| Right? | ||
| Is he going to have a job to support a family? | ||
| All of that's trending. | ||
| That the working class and middle class are under increasing pressure. | ||
| Right? | ||
| In all this, he slips in on page 900, a raise, they get a raise, and it's not like a small raise. | ||
| This is what fools they think you are. | ||
| First of all, they don't get that the war room posse will go through every page, okay? | ||
| Yo, Johnson, they went through a million pages of the Pfizer documents, right, to blow Pfizer up. | ||
| 1,500, they can rip through that. | ||
| They'll crowdsource that, and you guys, it's all about the receipts. | ||
| Once you get going, man. | ||
| So on page 900, they give themselves a pay increase. | ||
| This is for the great job they're doing at burying the country. | ||
| First off, how many days a week do they work? | ||
| They only work like 133. Now, you make the argument, Steve, you don't want them around because the more work they do, they're trouble. | ||
| And it's not like they haven't had these coal increases, I don't know, for 15 years or whatever, but it's not like they went from 173 to 176 or gave themselves a $5,000 raise or a bonus of $10,000, which is a big bonus in days. | ||
| Environment, right? | ||
| What they did is they took it, they took the whole thing in one fell swoop, went to $243,000. | ||
| So that's a, they gave themselves basically a 35%, a 35% raise. | ||
| Without asking. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| What would be your response? | ||
| Do they deserve a raise? | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| They're working hard. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| Come on, man. | ||
| You know, that's a very tough environment up there when you have the nation's capital. | ||
| You've got all those beautiful restaurants and all that. | ||
| Come on. | ||
| It's tough. | ||
| Oh, by the way, they also took themselves. | ||
| They opted out of Obamacare, so they don't have to do that, right? | ||
| They couldn't pass it so you could opt out, but they did it for themselves. | ||
| What sticks in my craw, it shows you that Mike Johnson doesn't have what we call the right stuff. | ||
| If you were going to do that, you need to socialize that. | ||
| They need to come to you and say, hey, look, we can't afford living in D.C. anymore. | ||
| We need a raise. | ||
| Now, you would say, hell no. | ||
| But at least it would be the beginning of a dialogue to continue to say no and not just trying to be sneaky and doing it. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| I'm going to crank up. | ||
| Let's crank up Harper Valley TV. We want Matt Gaetz back. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah! | |
| Matt Gaetz, we want you back in D.C. on January 3rd to go full Harper's Valley PTA on these folks. | ||
| Tell them everything. | ||
| We're going to leave you with Harper's Valley PTA. | ||
| You're going to be back in the worm in just a moment. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Mrs. Taylor, can you tell us why you said it? | ||
| I'm going to go. | ||
| And if you'll smell Shirley Thompson's breath, you'll find she's had a little nip of gin. | ||
| To tell me you think that as a mother I'm not fit. | ||
| Well, this is just a little patent place and you're all Harper Valley hypocrites. | ||
| No, I wouldn't put you on because it really did. | ||
| It happened just this way. | ||
| The day my mama stopped you to the Harper Valley. | ||
| Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon said on his podcast about this implosion of the bipartisan compromise funding deal and what it what it signifies about what is to come. - | ||
| If you think the last 48 hours has been unique, every day coming in when President Trump takes over is going to be like this, particularly as they As Elon tries to make these type of cuts, and President Trump tries to reorganize the government and get back on the right track and save the country. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Charlie Dent, your reaction? | |
| Well, I guess Steve Bannon is promising never-ending chaos. | ||
| I mean, that's what he's suggesting, because that's what we've had. | ||
| And I have to kind of inform the whole world here that the House Republicans do not have 218 votes on their own to pass a continuing resolution or a debt ceiling, now or during the next Congress. | ||
| We all know this. | ||
| That's why there has to be conversation conversations with the Democrats because they need the Democrats to vote for these things. | ||
| And therefore, you know, they're going to expect things. | ||
| Make it stop. | ||
| So... | ||
|
unidentified
|
So... | |
| Charlie Dent is one of these moderate Republicans from Pennsylvania that sold this country out for decades after decades. | ||
| So when we go in, and remember, we're the people trying to say, hey, it's chaotic right now in what you're doing with the purchasing power, the dollar, the debt. | ||
| This is total chaos that's going on. | ||
| Although it looks like it's under control because they're all, you know, it's kind of this process in these committee meetings. | ||
| So when we insert ourselves as the war room posse and say, hey, when you say a clean CR, you're already spending $500 billion for the quarter, and we hate that because it's the old spending. | ||
| It hasn't been cut. | ||
| But when you layer on another $300 billion, are you just going to sit there and take it? | ||
| Right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No! | |
| With no offset. | ||
| See, here's the thing that's changed. | ||
| The game has changed fundamentally in that you guys are so much more knowledgeable today, right, than a couple years ago. | ||
| You understand the process of how it works, but you also get into the receipts. | ||
| You get into the details, right, the details. | ||
| So they can't fool you anymore. | ||
| When they come up with the CR, and this is why I was in prison, I was so impressed with Grace Chung. | ||
| And by the way, can we get a shout out for Grace? | ||
| Grace couldn't make it out here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That Grace Chung's a tough one, I'll tell you. | |
| Grace couldn't make it. | ||
| One, she's anchoring. | ||
| The thing was so rapidly developing in D.C. Grace is at her command center, so we're going to try. | ||
| Oh, and I've got another announcement, too. | ||
| 1230 to 2 today. | ||
| 1230 to 2. In room 124A and B. So I think that's upstairs. | ||
| 124A and B. From 1230 to 12, we're going to have a get-together, okay? | ||
| So we'll get to see a party, right? | ||
| If you want to bring an adult beverage or something from here, bring it. | ||
| I don't think we can't get anything in the room. | ||
| Is that too hard? | ||
| You can bring things in the room. | ||
| We can't bring them in because of restrictions. | ||
| Plus, we know you would drink the war room budget. | ||
| We're starting a bigger deficit than the CR. No, but we want everybody from 1232 to get you fired up for the late afternoon speakers. | ||
| How's that? | ||
| So, 1232, 124 AMB, and we'll have a meet and greet and hang out. | ||
| Now, there's some chairs there and stuff, but we'll figure out. | ||
| You guys, we can call Audible, so we'll call Audible when we're in the room. | ||
| We're really looking forward. | ||
| I've really enjoyed the two meet and greets we've had so far. | ||
| In the last couple of days here. | ||
| So back to that. | ||
| What they want is they want the form of things as normal while they're passing things that are destroying the country. | ||
| But as soon as you insert yourself in the process and go, yo, hang on for a second, we have a vote. | ||
| Right? | ||
| You guys have inserted yourselves in this process and said, hey, it's got to pass much or without. | ||
| If not, we're going to light these guys up back home. | ||
| And believe me, There's nothing they hate more than you guys calling their DC office, calling their local office. | ||
| The local office is very powerful. | ||
| Sending emails. | ||
| We know that you're polite when you call, and we want to make sure everybody's polite. | ||
| But every now and again, if it boils over, hey, it's Vox Populi. | ||
| So they are absolutely intimidated about this going forward. | ||
| And like I said, folks, We haven't seen anything. | ||
| One thing we're going to try to gorge you guys for is when it comes, it's going to come hard, and we've got to make sure we communicate. | ||
| You get up on, you know, all the chat rooms we've got. | ||
| You're sharing. | ||
| The biggest thing you could do now, since we've gone through with the precinct strategy and everything like that, is obviously change, but it's being a force multiplier in information. | ||
| The next six months, since we're between kind of elections, and we've got to, obviously, the precinct strategy and taking over your state parties, Doing voter registration. | ||
| That's all going to be important. | ||
| But obviously that gets more important as you get closer to the election. | ||
| For the next six months, the game's really going to shift to Capitol Hill. | ||
| The game's going to shift there of what President Trump puts forward and to make sure he doesn't have to have too many trade-offs. | ||
| Let's go back to the Matt Gaetz. | ||
| The thing that worried me most about the leaks that came out of Matt Gaetz is when Matt Gaetz was going around, just as the first Republicans he met, they leaked out, and he didn't do this, but they leaked that Matt had committed, as Attorney General, not to investigate Liz Cheney. | ||
| Not to investigate MSNBC, or Reisman, or Rachel Matter, or any of that in this vast criminal conspiracy, and not to investigate Dr. Fauci. | ||
| Now, we know that's not true, but that shows you the way the central apparatus, they're petrified. | ||
| They're petrified right now of those investigations. | ||
| And Natalie's going to take over at A. I'm going to come out into the audience and do some interviews. | ||
| There's a huge story that's brewing in D.C., That's not getting enough attention. | ||
| And now, even Fox News is getting upset about it. | ||
| Scott Jennings. | ||
| And remember, Scott Jennings is the McConnell guy. | ||
| But Scott Jennings, I think, has seen the writing on the wall of CNN. He's becoming a fire-breathing populist day by day, right? | ||
| Scott, we'll take you, brother. | ||
| We're always looking for... | ||
| We'll onboard people. | ||
| Your previous sins are forgiven. | ||
| We'll get you up here, right? | ||
| You just can't be phony. | ||
| But Scott Jennings is lighting them up. | ||
| There's a story out there that they knew from the beginning. | ||
| They knew from the beginning that Biden was infirm. | ||
| And this deal was run by other people. | ||
| And Kamala Harris canceled her vacation and came back. | ||
| Now, there's rumors going around that, hey, they're thinking of invoking the 25th Amendment, that Biden has not even been engaged in this huge fight the last couple of days. | ||
| And I'm even hearing rumors saying that the reason they're doing that is Biden's so infirm, he can't sign the blanket preemptive pardons. | ||
| And that's their number one priority right now, right? | ||
| John Brennan. | ||
