| Well, hello, Arizona. | ||
| It's great to be here. | ||
| Nice to win the election. | ||
| Very nice to win. | ||
| And I want to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas. | ||
| They don't say that too much anymore. | ||
| We say it. | ||
| The Democrats and the media said the turning point could never run a ground game. | ||
| They weren't experienced. | ||
| They didn't know Charlie, right? | ||
| But when the ballots came in, the other side really didn't know what the hell hit them. | ||
| They got hit hard. | ||
| The victory was such an outstanding one, such a big one. | ||
| And the other side now, and we don't want this. | ||
| We want people to be happy and healthy. | ||
| But they did. | ||
| They lost their confidence. | ||
| If you watch television now, they're all befuddled. | ||
| They don't know what the hell happened. | ||
| They're befuddled, to use quite a nice word that my mother used to use years ago, talking about somebody that's a mess. | ||
| But they did. | ||
| They've lost their confidence, and hopefully they'll lose it for a long time and then come over to our side, because we want to... | ||
| We had turning points, grassroots army. | ||
| It's an army. | ||
| They turned out to vote, and they voted in record numbers, and everybody else voted in record numbers, too, I have to tell you, and We did something that was really epic. | ||
| We won a battle that a lot of people thought was very hard to win. | ||
| You know, too big to rig. | ||
| Remember what I said, too big to rig. | ||
| We're making too big to rig. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We're going to win. | |
| And it really was one of the great political victories in the history of our country, and that's good. | ||
| They said one of the very big radical left newspapers said the most consequential election in the last 129 years. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I said, couldn't they have made it a little bit longer than that? | |
| 129 years, but that's pretty good. | ||
| But we won, oh, it's so nice, we won the popular vote by a lot, by millions and millions. | ||
| On my first day back in the Oval Office, I will sign a historic slate of executive orders to close our border to illegal aliens and stop the invasion of our country. | ||
| And on that same day, we will begin the largest deportation operation in American history, larger even than that of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. | ||
| And as part of Operation Aurora, you know all about Aurora, how horrible that's been. | ||
| Every single foreign gang and illegal alien member, all of this criminal network operating on American soil will be dismantled, deported, and destroyed. | ||
| Gonna get them out. | ||
| I will immediately designate the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. | ||
| We're gonna do it immediately. | ||
| And will unleash the full power of federal law enforcement, ICE, Border Patrol. | ||
| How good is, by the way, how good is Tom Holman, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
He's phenomenal. | |
| I've known him a long time. | ||
| I'll bet you Sheriff Joe likes Tom Holman, right? | ||
| Sheriff Joe, yes? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yep. | |
| He goes, yep. | ||
| The DEA, the FBI, the intelligence community, and financial sanctions to remove the migrant gangs and criminals that are killing and raping and maiming our citizens. | ||
| We're going to get them out. | ||
| We're going to get them out. | ||
| But something happened also in the election. | ||
| All 50 states shifted toward the Republican Party, every single one of them. | ||
| And together we won the largest share of African American voters of any Republican in modern history. | ||
| Actually, in history. | ||
| We won more Hispanic American votes than any Republican ever. | ||
| And we won the vote. | ||
| We won the Latino men. | ||
| Who's a Latino man? | ||
| Do we have any Latino men? | ||
| No, you're not a Latino man. | ||
| Very beautiful woman, but a man you are not. | ||
| Of course, nowadays, who the hell knows? | ||
| And for all of us standing before you today, I can proudly proclaim that the golden age of America is upon us. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's going to be a golden age. | |
| There's a spirit that we have now that we didn't have just a short while ago. | ||
| Sadly, we didn't have. | ||
| Who the hell can have a spirit? | ||
| Watching women get beat up in a boxing ring? | ||
| I don't think that's spirit, right? | ||
| We're going to end that one quick. | ||
| We're gonna end it very quickly. | ||
| We're gonna end that one very quickly. | ||
| Since the election, the stock market has broken one record after another. | ||
| The biggest gain of stock market after an election in history. | ||
| That's a good sign. | ||
| In a single month, small business optimism soared 41 points, which is a record. | ||
| That's a record. | ||
| Bitcoin has surged to an all-time record high of $108,000. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
| Congratulations. | ||
| And just last week, in an overwhelming statement of confidence in our leadership, the CEO of SoftBank, a very highly respected man in Asia, Masa Yoshisan, you probably saw it, announced that he will be investing, and only because I won the election, he made that clear, only because he has confidence in the United States, between $100 billion and $200 billion, and he's going to be investing. | ||
| It's equal to about 100,000 jobs at least. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| And all over the world, people are investing now. | ||
| They're starting the investments and it's going to be a beautiful thing with the jobs. | ||
| But they're calling it the Trump effect because even before taking office, we're already bringing in the jobs and opportunity and safety and common sense back to the USA. We're bringing common sense back. | ||
| Maybe that's the most important thing. | ||
| I think common sense is the most important thing, but not only are we seeing it at home, but we're seeing it abroad as well. | ||
| The European Union is suddenly talking about buying vast quantities of natural American beautiful natural gas. | ||
| It is beautiful and it's very inexpensive. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's a lot less expensive than windmills all over the place. | |
| A lot less expensive. | ||
| But I've informed Mexico and Canada that they will have to step up and stop the illegal aliens and illegal drugs from pouring into our country. | ||
| Have to stop. | ||
| And that goes for the European Union, and it goes for many other places. | ||
| European Union's treated us very, very badly. | ||
| We have hundreds of billions of dollars with deficits. | ||
| They don't take our cars, they don't take our agricultural product, but we take theirs. | ||
| And they've got to be careful. | ||
| They can't treat us that way. | ||
| They're not going to be treating us that way for long, that I can tell you. | ||
| Because we're not going to let them turn the United States into a dumping ground. | ||
| We're not going to let it happen. | ||
| This is the primal scream of a dying regime. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on these people. | |
| I got a free shot of 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. | ||
|
unidentified
|
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. | ||
| It's Monday, 23 December in the year of our Lord, 2024. | ||
| Welcome to the War Room. | ||
| And we started there with the kickoff speech of the Golden Age, the new Golden Age of America. | ||
| what we refer to here as the age of Trump. | ||
| That was from AmFest yesterday, and I think I came out with the AmFest flu. | ||
| It was just incredible, the four days we had there with the Warren Posse, and I'll talk more about that later. | ||
| President Trump gave a very kind shout-out to the audience yesterday, which was pretty unbelievable. | ||
| But the representation of the folks, of our Posse representing the entire vast audience of the war room was incredible. | ||
| The energy was incredible. | ||
| The intensity was incredible. | ||
| And here's what's most incredible is the understanding Of your agency and understanding the fight ahead. | ||
| I mean, it was a celebratory for days, but with a very sophisticated and adult-like understanding that we got so much work ahead to do and support President Trump in this program against really the established order, | ||
| and that's both the Republican Party and There's donor class and their political class puppets up on Capitol Hill and also obviously the radical left with two stories that are kind of developing. | ||
| I think it's actually, maybe it's three stories that are developing that we're gonna spend some time on today. | ||
| One of those is obviously the situation with these drones up in New Jersey and the Northeast and other places that you would think would be a pretty basic thing to be able to get and explain. | ||
| Coupled with our understanding of what retribution is, you know, Kash Patel's confirmation hearing, Pambani's confirmation hearing, And Matt Gaetz. | ||
| Just breaking news on Matt Gaetz about an hour ago. | ||
| And Raheem is going to join me. | ||
| I'm calling Raheem back off the beach to join me here today to discuss that. | ||
| Because when you see these allegations, it goes to what we talked to the Warren Posse about at AmFest. | ||
| Is that Matt Gaetz should have never withdrawn from being Attorney General. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| To be full stop. | ||
| We'll get more into that. | ||
| The third thing that's metastasizing, and this is why I'm so proud of this audience, because from day one, we knew this is about the Biden. | ||
| Now the reporting from the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, and this is very basic, fundamental reporting with many, many sources that the Biden was never in control of the Biden regime from the beginning. | ||
| So you get back to the, you know, what they call this retribution, which, remember, President Trump's concept of retribution is this new golden age, what we call the sunlit uplands that are ahead of us. | ||
| Once we get through this madness, and the madness is quite profound, it's the, you know, the sorting out and shutting down of the kinetic part of the Third World War on the Eurasian landmass. | ||
| It is the, the separate is the deportation. | ||
| He used a number yesterday I had not heard before. | ||
| And I think I'm pretty up to speed on this. | ||
| 21 million. | ||
| In fact, I've reached out to the Trump team to make sure that we could... | ||
| I just double-checked it. | ||
| I think the number's between 12 and 15 million, which is monumental when you think of it. | ||
| But President Trump used 21 million. | ||
| So the deportations... | ||
| And I will say this about President Trump's speech. | ||
| It was one of the finest speeches President Trump has ever given. | ||
| And it was profound. | ||
| And the fact that he was throwing bombs on policy, that for those that are paying attention at home, it had... | ||
| And we're going to talk about this this next two hours, about what the direction... | ||
| That he's telling us over and above just what we've been talking about, the wars and the deportations, and of course the financial piece, which he went pretty light on yesterday, I think for good reasons. | ||
| I think they're still thinking that through, as they should think that through, because that one is, as I say, the existential part with this debt. | ||
| Johnny Kahn's going to take us out with American Heart. | ||
| Okay, we've got a lot to go through in a couple days before Christmas. | ||
| I want to do this show today. | ||
| At first, we had some other ideas about my travel, but number one, I am physically not up for it right now because of the AmFest. | ||
| As you know, AmFest with all the contacts we had, and I think it was thousands of people we had the opportunity to meet, shake hands, sign books, take selfies. | ||
| Hopefully, you flooded the zone on social media with the selfies. | ||
| It was a great honor. | ||
| To meet you and to get to know each and every one of you a little bit individually in the time we spent together. | ||
| It's one of the reasons I love doing these live conferences, right, whether it's AMFEST or CPAC or the other ones, the ability to actually make contact with the Warren Posse. | ||
| The most, the vanguard and the cadre, the tip of the tip of the spear, Of this MAGA revolution, this Trump revolution. | ||
| And I gotta tell you, if you saw President Trump yesterday, it's more than worth it to know how you have bent the arc of history. | ||
| You think of the long fight that we've had on the comeback. | ||
| And the most profound thing he said yesterday, he said, I would have never done this if he had not been Certain to burning into his soul that he had won 2020. That's the linkage. | ||
| And we're not going to relent on going through that because we can't. | ||
| We owe it to this country. | ||
| The golden age of Donald J. Trump. | ||
| In the wars and fights ahead. | ||
| All next. | ||
| On a pre-Christmas show. | ||
| On In the War Room. | ||

In the War Room. | |
| News has obtained a final draft of the House Ethics Committee report on former Congressman Matt Gaetz. | ||
| The bipartisan committee, led by Republicans, includes some shocking allegations. | ||
| Scott McFarlane has the latest. | ||
| Scott, good morning. | ||
| Hey, Adriana, good morning to you. | ||
| This report's findings determine there is substantial evidence that Matt Gaetz had sex with a minor, engaged in rampant illicit drug use, and violated multiple state laws while in office. | ||
| The report lists payments totaling more than $90,000 to 12 different women between 2017 to 2020, and alleges the money was likely connected to sexual activity and drugs, including cocaine and ecstasy. | ||
| The committee also obtained testimony that alleges Gates had sex twice with a 17-year-old girl. | ||
| The victim told the committee she recalled receiving $400 in cash from Gates, which she understood to be payment for sex. | ||
| Gates is also accused of creating a fake email from his Capitol Hill office for the purpose of purchasing marijuana and referred to drugs as party favors, rolls and vitamins. | ||
| The report did not uncover sufficient evidence of violations of federal sex trafficking laws, and Gates has denied any improper conduct, writing last week that his behavior in his 30s may have been embarrassing, though not criminal. | ||
| The former congressman refused to sit for sworn testimony, only submitting written answers to some of the committee's questions. | ||
| The committee also alleged he knowingly and willfully sought to impede and obstruct the investigation. | ||
| The House Ethics Committee had initially voted to keep the report under wraps after Gates resigned from Congress in November and withdrew, as Trump's picks to be Attorney General. | ||
| But they reversed that decision in a vote earlier this month. | ||
| I want to tell you all a story about a Harper Valley widowed wife. | ||
| Bye. | ||
| Who had a teenage daughter Who attended Harper Valley Junior High 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 ball, if you're going to play a game with his ethics committee, right? | ||
| Go play games as committee. | ||
|
unidentified
|
He says, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, all you guys. | |
| Every guy slept with an intern. | ||
| Every guy that's with the secretary, right? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| Everybody messing around with the page, right? | ||
| These. | ||
| Hey. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now. | |
| Wow. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| 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
|
Do we love Matt Gaetz? | |
| Do we want Matt Gaetz back in the fight? | ||
| Now 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? | ||
| Matt! | ||
| Matt 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. | ||
| 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? | ||
| 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 of both. | ||
| I like that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, 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 dresses way too high. | ||
| It's reported you've been drinking and running around with men and going wild. | ||
| And we don't believe you ought to be bringing up your little girl this way. | ||
| And it was signed by the secretary Harper Valley PTA. | ||
| Well, it happened that PTA was going to meet that very afternoon. | ||
| We'll be right back. | ||
| And they were sure surprised when Mrs. Johnson wore her mini skirt into the room. | ||
| And as she walked up to the blackboard, I can still recall the words she had to say. | ||
| She said, I'd like to address this meeting of the Harper Valley PTA. Well, there's Bobby Taylor sittin' there, and seven times he's asked me for a date. | ||
| And Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lot of ice whenever he's away. | ||
| Mr. Baker, can you tell us why your secretary had to leave this town? | ||
| And shouldn't Witta Jones be told to keep her when the shades all full completely down? | ||
| We're going full, um, we're going full, uh, Harper Valley PTA today. | ||
| Um... | ||
| The Matt Gaetz thing is that, here's one of the mistakes we made. | ||
| We should have forced the Ethics Committee to put this out. | ||
| It's a nothing burger. | ||
| In the grand scheme of where the country is, and for the Royal Posse, The coming around, we had, I don't know, 1,000, 1,500, sometimes 2,000 people just around the RAV booth all the way back down to where the other studios were. | ||
| We had to actually dial it, take it down. | ||
| Folks, that is political power. | ||
| That's political power. | ||
| You're sending a message to these people. | ||
| In Washington, D.C. You think you're going to back us off with this report? | ||
| On all these kind of anonymous stories? | ||
| This is ridiculous. | ||
| If there was anything there, if there was anything there, the Justice Department would have come after Gates. | ||
| They hated him. | ||
| The Justice Department would have come after Gates. | ||
| The FBI would have come after Gates. | ||
| They didn't. | ||
| This is a big nothing burger. | ||
| We are calling for Matt Gaetz right now. | ||
| We need Matt Gaetz to return to Congress. | ||
| We need Matt Gaetz to show up and be sworn in. | ||
| I think it's on the third. | ||
| I think we need Matt Gaetz back in Congress. | ||
| You saw this fiasco last week. | ||
| It wouldn't happen if Matt Gaetz was actually fully engaged. | ||
| He had resigned from this Congress. | ||
| He hasn't resigned from the next one. | ||
| There's two options for Gates. | ||
| And the option can't be One America News. | ||
| I love the hearings. | ||
| I love what One America stands for. | ||
| It's a great little channel. | ||
| Although it's got issues because it kicked it off cable, right? | ||
| But Matt Gates does not need to be a talk show host. | ||
| You've got enough crazy people like Tucker Carlson and myself, Posobiec, Charlie Kirk yelling in microphones. | ||
| We need a man in the arena. | ||
| And that arena's got to be Capitol Hill. | ||
| Congress, the House. | ||
| The action is going to be in the House. | ||
| Now think about it. | ||
| That's where the advice and consent... | ||
| I call the Senate the Human Resources Department. | ||
| And it can have a big impact. | ||
| In the first term with the 4,000, the 1,000 Senate confirmed, Mitch McConnell went out of his way to break us. | ||
| They approved and confirmed their guys, the ones they wanted in the Trump administration. | ||
| Michael Pack, for instance, that oversaw VOA over at the global media apparatus. | ||
| Michael, because of the relationship with me and how aggressive it was, was, I think, held up for two or three years. | ||
| This is why Carrie Lake's at VOA, so we can get her in right away. | ||
| But the House is where the action is. | ||
| It's where the action is going to be. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because all revenue generation, i.e. | ||
| taxes, tariffs, all that comes from the House by the Constitution and all spending. | ||
| So the cuts, the action, the fights in the House are going to be enormous. | ||
| I keep telling you all this. | ||
| You know it. | ||
| I don't need to tell you. | ||
| You guys know it better than I do. | ||
| We need Gates back. | ||
| Matt Gates must be returned, and I want to get this thing rolling. | ||
| So, Grace, I need this to go viral. | ||
| And it's going to be the Harper Valley PTA. Hey, Ethics Committee, suck on this, folks. | ||
| Matt Gates ought to walk in and throw down hard. | ||
| Should throw down hard. | ||
| Should throw down hard. | ||
| Let's name names. | ||
| Let's show the receipts. | ||
| This is hypocrisy. | ||
| This is all because Kevin McCarthy got turfed out. | ||
| Matt Gaetz did something that's unique in this program. | ||
| Remember, we've taken out the last three Republican speakers, Boehner, Ryan, and McCarthy. | ||
| But McCarthy was most important because it was about spending. | ||
| We would not be in the financial situation. | ||
| The country would not be in the financial situation. | ||
| This guy had not given. | ||
| What we now know is an illegitimate regime. | ||
| This is why McCarthy had to go. | ||
| Trump dug in hard and came back. | ||
| McCarthy surrendered. | ||
| He submitted. | ||
| To an illegitimate regime and gave them a full runway to spend whatever they wanted. | ||
| Matt Gaetz had the stones and the brilliance and the strategic understanding and the tactical. | ||
| These individuals are unique. | ||
| They're not replicated. | ||
| I can tell you this. | ||
| As somebody who's been in this fight a long time, Gaetz is a unique individual with all his flaws, and his flaws are a lot and they're deep. | ||
| But we're not looking for saints right now. | ||
| We're at war. | ||
| This is a political war. | ||
| We had a lot of flawed people throughout history. | ||
| Very flawed people. | ||
| Gates has got to come back to Congress. | ||
| short break. | ||

Ladies and gentlemen, now welcome to the stage the 45th and 47th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump. | |
| To be an American, where at least I know I'm free. | ||
| And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me, and I gladly stand. | ||
| I'm next to you, and it may curse till today. | ||
| Cause it rangled out, I love this land. | ||
| God bless the USA! From the lake to Minnesota, To the hills of Tennessee. | ||
| Across the plains of Texas. | ||
| On the sea, a shining sea. | ||
| Detroit down to Houston. | ||
| And New York to LA. Where there's pride in every American heart. | ||
| And it's time to stay insane Now I bow to be an American Where at least I'm alive free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that life to me And I've at least never next to you And it's been hurt still today | ||
| Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the USA And I bow to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that life to me | ||
| And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today. | ||
| Cause there ain't no doubt I got to say | ||
| God bless the USA USA USA It's not my victory, it's your victory It's a great honor. | ||
| Man, we worked hard on this. | ||
| We knew bad things happened in 2020. And if I didn't know that we won in 2020, I wouldn't have done this because it would have been like the ultimate poll, right? | ||
| But we won by a lot. | ||
| And this time we said, look, now we got to really win by and we won by so much. | ||
| They just, you know, they threw all their placards. | ||
| They wanted to protest. | ||
| They were all set. | ||
| And at about nine o'clock, they said, man, this guy's killing us. | ||
| They threw the placards. | ||
| They went home and we had no riots. | ||
| We had no anything. | ||
| It was a beautiful thing to watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They just said, we lost. | |
| And we want to try bringing everybody together. | ||
| We're going to try. | ||
| We're going to really give it a shot. | ||
| The thing that brings people together is victory. | ||
| It's winning. | ||
| And we had that for much of my first year. | ||
| We had the greatest economy in history in our first term. | ||
| We can now call it a first term. | ||
| We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. | ||
| Maybe in the history of any country, frankly. | ||
| And we did things that nobody could have done, and we're going to do them even better now. | ||
| Okay, okay. | ||
| That right there, folks, I don't think I've ever heard. | ||
| Of course, I've had, I don't know, hundreds of conversations with the president about that very topic. | ||
| I think it's the first time he said it publicly. | ||
| Bull check. | ||
| He would not have run. | ||
| And this is exactly what the Gates situation is. | ||
| President Trump just said right there, And you all understand this more than anybody. | ||
| In those dark days of January and February and March and April and May of 2021 and June, right? | ||
| The Lion and Winter phase where the Murdochs turned on him. | ||
| We're going to make him a non-person. | ||
| Remember the email? | ||
| We're going to make him a non-person. | ||
| Fox would not cover him live. | ||
| He had the CPAC speech, the Come Retribution speech back in, I think, in March or February in Orlando. | ||
| But that was a time of testing. | ||
| Why did Cincinnati's, Trump's the American Cincinnati's, why did he come back from the plow to save his country? | ||
| He just told you right there. | ||
| He knew he had won in 2020. And think of everything, people have been shut off social media and shut off, we are right and they are wrong. | ||
| We were right and they were wrong. | ||
| It was burned into the very essence of his soul that he had to, not for himself, he had to do this for his country. | ||
| This is when I say it's Washington and Lincoln and Trump right there is the reason. | ||
| And, folks, we have to get to the bottom of it. | ||
| Now, he's got so much to do with his other stuff. | ||
| This is upon us to do. | ||
| This is one of our tasks and purposes. | ||
| It can never be allowed to happen again. | ||
| The mainstream media is in a rush to wash their hands of it. | ||
| With all these stories now, oh, you know, we got 50 people that now confirmed that Biden was never in control and, you know, we don't know who was making decisions. | ||
| It's not good enough. | ||
| It's not going to be good enough. | ||
| The vast criminal conspiracy against him is also, this is the greatest scandal in the history of the nation. | ||
| Watergate is like small potatoes. | ||
| Give me a break. | ||
| Screw Watergate, it's a joke. | ||
| Compared to this, this is almost mind-boggling in its audacity. | ||
| For every person out there, from Brennan to all of you, we're going to get to the bottom of it. | ||
| Think how relentless we were in having this man's back that he came back and had the sweeping victory. | ||
| Against all odds. | ||
| Now we'll be in control of state power. | ||
| Now we will be in control of state power. | ||
| We will never, ever, ever, ever, ever rest until we've gotten to the bottom of this. | ||
| For this republic, or we're not a republic. | ||
| It can never be a lot. | ||
| This is a black mark on the history of this country. | ||
| What's happened is clearly... | ||
| And this is why it could never be DeSantis. | ||
| This is why it could never be Nikki Haley. | ||
| This is why it could never be Chris Christie. | ||
| It was all a joke and all a waste of time and that $400 million. | ||
| And the people that did that don't understand the moment of history and will never understand the moment of history. | ||
| You can't get them up. | ||
| You understood it. | ||
| The deplorables, the garbage, you understood it. | ||
| You understood it. | ||
| Do you understand how powerful that is? | ||
| You understood it from the beginning. | ||
| You understood it. | ||
| That's when the history of this age is written. | ||
| It'll be Trump and it'll be this movement. | ||
| It'll be you. | ||
| The rest of us will be forgotten. | ||
| I mean, we'll be footnotes. | ||
| Tucker, myself, Elon, Vivek, Hannity, all of it. | ||
| This is a hinge of history right here. | ||
| It's a hinge of history. | ||

And let's get back to Gates. | |
| In fourth turnings, one thing about fourth turnings, people who are so marginal, And such nothing burgers, at the beginning of the turning, become main players. | ||
| You can see that in the American Revolution. | ||
| You can see the formation of the country. | ||
| You can see it in the run-up to the Civil War and Reconstruction. | ||
| You can see it then in the Great Depression and World War II. The main drivers of the action are totally marginal at the beginning. | ||
| Who is Matt Gaetz? | ||
| Matt Gaetz is just some chubby kid running for Congress in 2016 who would meet us on the tarmac with Kayleigh McEnany. | ||
| And they were fine. | ||
| They were nice people. | ||
| We didn't have any time for them because, quite frankly, they were marginalia. | ||
| They would show up in the tarmac, and they would be there, and she was doing her thing, and he was running, and they were good people, but they were not relevant to the task at hand, which was to take down the Clinton mafia, right? | ||
| Of which we did by piercing the blue wall, which they told us was impossible, in Michigan, in Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. | ||
| Because the beginning of this coalition, the beginning of the 1932 realignment was right there for everybody. | ||
| You could see it. | ||
| You could feel it. | ||
| And the response to Trump, unlike any response to any political figure in the history of this country, in the history of this country, is what has Gates become? | ||
| Think about it, from a chubby kind of nerd sitting on a tarmac. | ||
| Thank you, Mr. Brown. | ||
| Hey, how you doing, man? | ||
| How's the race going? | ||
| Is it going good? | ||
| Fine. | ||
| Come on, we're going to get you on up early to say something. | ||
| We pull into these Like one time, I think it was in Wellington, Florida. | ||
| We pulled into the tarmac because you just got to do it right there at the hangar because you don't have time. | ||
| You got to get out right away. | ||
| And you let Gates say a few words. | ||
| Are you in the crowd? | ||
| Hey, there's Matt Gates. | ||
| He's running for Congress. | ||
| That was in 16. He took down a Speaker of the House in 2023. A couple of years later, six years later, seven years later, he's front and center. | ||
| Remember him standing in the house with the thing? | ||
| And now, this is McCarthy, this is the cartel telling you, if you step forward and have the courage to do it, we will destroy you. | ||
| We don't care what's in the ethics report. | ||
| It's not relevant. | ||
| It's irrelevant. | ||
| What we care about is continuing this fight. | ||
| And we need leaders up in the first, you know, like in paths of glory. | ||
| When Kirk Douglas stands up with the whistle and says, come on guys, we're going. | ||
| Those are the kind of guys you need because people fix bayonets and go up and say, I'm going to follow that guy. | ||
| If he's out there and taking bullets, I'm following him. | ||
| That's what Trump is. | ||
| And on a minor scale, that's what Gates is. | ||
| And we can't let him take him out. | ||
| This is the thing with Hegseth. | ||
| This is what you have to understand. | ||
| If they can see they can take out your guys, they're going to take them out all day long. | ||
| It's not going to stop until we make it stop. | ||
| And all these gutless Republicans, how the hell do we get in this situation? | ||
| The Republican Party has won enough victories. | ||
| They've used your money and your times and effort enough. | ||
| How did the country get in here? | ||
| It's just not these radical Democrats. | ||
| It's two sides of the same coin. | ||
| It's this neoliberal, neocon, Washington consensus that runs the country. | ||
| And they'll fold every time because they're gutless. | ||
| And they know what the FBI and the CIA and the apparatus will do to them. | ||
| Until you sit there and go, I don't give two F's. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| I don't. | ||
| All I care about is my country. | ||
| That's what I care about. | ||
| Gates understood. | ||
| This is the power of Gates and Trump. | ||
| They made conscious decisions. | ||
| One of the problems in the world is people are asleep. | ||
| Why do we call it an awakening? | ||
| Why do we call it the Great Awakening? | ||
| Why before these major movements in American history you had these awakenings? | ||
| You're awakened. | ||
| You realize. | ||
| How many people came up to me at AmFest and said, before I started listening to the show, you're awakened with information. | ||
| When you get information given your common sense and your basic intellect and your understanding of kind of common sense America, you're awakened into a powerful political force. | ||
| They cannot stop The only thing that can stop us is ourselves. | ||
| And the only way that we stop is to blink and play by their rules. | ||
| Screw their rules. | ||
| Screw them. | ||
| They have destroyed this country. | ||
| And Gates has to come back. | ||
| To go to one America is to accept defeat. | ||
|

|
God, this is so obvious. | |
| Take the Ethers report and shove it up your ass. | ||
| That's what I think. | ||
| Gates must return like Trump returned. | ||
| Don't back down. | ||
| Double down. | ||
| My victory is your victory. | ||
| It's a great honor. | ||
| Man. | ||
| We worked hard on this. | ||
| We knew bad things happened in 2020. If I didn't know that we won in 2020, I wouldn't have done this, because it would have been like the ultimate poll, right? | ||
| But we won by a lot. | ||
| And this time we said, look, now we've got to really win by it. | ||
| And we won by so much, they just, you know, they threw all their placards. | ||
| They wanted to protest. | ||
| They were all set. | ||
| And at about 9 o'clock, they said, man, this guy's killing us. | ||
| They threw the placards. | ||
| If I didn't know I won in 2020, I wouldn't have done this. | ||
| I want everybody in this audience to write that. | ||
| Take your number two point, write that down. | ||
| It's the whole thing. | ||
| It's the entire thing. | ||
| And it shows the moment we are in American history. | ||
| This either gets rectified or it doesn't. | ||
| Excuse me. | ||
| This either gets rectified or it doesn't. | ||
| We either solve for this equation now or we don't. | ||
| You, this audience, are the solution. | ||
| And we don't think it's going to be easy. | ||
| It's not going to be easy. | ||
| It's going to be unpleasant, and people are saying, oh, you're doing this, and they're wasting time. | ||
| We don't care about the Chris Christie's. | ||
| We don't care about the Republican status. | ||
| We don't care what you have to say. | ||
| It's not relevant. | ||
| You've been wrong on everything, not some things, on everything, whether it's endless wars, the border. | ||
| Where were you? | ||
| Where were any of you people? | ||
| Where was any of the established order? | ||
| Where were any of you in any of the issues of the day? | ||
| The things that make up the current world, and the current history of the world, and where it's going, and the arc of history, where it's going, where were you on anything? | ||
| It's all just happy talk mumbo-jumbo. | ||
| You want to have the thing? | ||
| Look at Romney. | ||
| When Romney leaves this great serious speech, it's all infantile. | ||
| They're supposed to be so smart. | ||
| They're your betters. | ||
| Remember, you're the deplorables. | ||
| You're garbage. | ||
| Think about it. | ||
| You've been in the fight on every important fight, and you've been on the right side of history, and you've been correct. | ||
| And they've been wrong. | ||
| The educated, the empowered, the dialed in. | ||
| Not just kind of wrong, dead wrong on everything. | ||
| Not some things, on everything. | ||
| Dead wrong on everything. | ||
| And this is why they need to be tossed aside. | ||
| Because of an elite. | ||
| If you're an elite, you've got to understand it and you've got to drive it forward. | ||
| You don't. | ||
| Get rid of it. | ||
| The revolutionary generation, I could argue, came from the elites, but look at their understanding of the moment in history. | ||
| Look at what they gave up to what they created and what they risked. | ||
| That's why it's unique in world history. | ||
| To empower you. | ||
| To empower you. | ||
| And now, and this is the... | ||
| You don't think divine providence is at work? | ||
| What's next April? | ||
| It's the 250th anniversary of Lexington and Concord in the first hundred days of Trump's second term. | ||
| I want you to think about that. | ||
| I want you to embrace it over the next couple of days. | ||
| This is what, over Christmas, with family and all that, it is the great task and purpose in the meaning of your life, your life has tremendous meaning, is to save not just this country, this republic, and can, like Lincoln said, can people govern themselves? | ||
| Can you govern yourself? | ||
| We're going to decide that. | ||
| The election, that's just one milestone. | ||
| Yes, it's heroic, historic, unbelievable. | ||
| Trust me, they're not just going to sit there. | ||
| And this is why we need Gates back. | ||
| I don't care about the ethics report. | ||
| Maybe some of these things, a lot of it's misrepresentation. | ||
| Maybe there's some bad things. | ||
| I don't care. | ||
| He's very imperfect. | ||
| I understand that. | ||
| Trump's very imperfect. | ||
| Steve Bannon's very imperfect. | ||
| Elon Musk is very imperfect. | ||
| Tucker Carlson's very imperfect. | ||
| You, this audience, you're very imperfect. | ||
| Very. | ||
| Isn't that the underpinning of the Judeo-Christian West? | ||
| Wes, yes, you are very imperfect. | ||
| We have to decide that... | ||
| That is you. | ||
| We have to decide this. | ||
| And one of the quick ways to decide it is to shatter everything, is to bring... | ||
| Gates has to come back. | ||
| He has to come back. | ||
| And I use Harbor Valley PTA. I'm not trying to be cute in using that. | ||
| It's quite... | ||
| That song... | ||
|
unidentified
|
That song... | |
| It was the first song to be number one, I think, on the country charts and the pop charts. | ||
| It was in 1968. Because at the surface of everything and all that, and the crazy part, it had a deep underpinning to it. | ||
| Of people that are accused by your betters, who are only your betters on the surface. | ||
| Is that not the MAGA movement? | ||
| And people back then, way before this movement, understood at a deep level that that song resonated with people. | ||
| It's not some silly, stupid song that you forget. | ||
| When I asked people, you know, my young chargers here, the production staff, and then when I asked my security to her older, not one person said, what are you talking about? | ||
| Never heard of it. | ||
| I said, okay. | ||
| And then when I played it, Immediately, people, wow. | ||
| Oh yeah, I get it. | ||
| I can connect these dots. | ||
| Because of the hypocrisy all along. | ||
| Gates is going to be damned? | ||
| What did Jesus say? | ||
| What did Christ say? | ||
| I think Christ got this, didn't he? | ||
| When they're attacking the woman, then he goes... | ||
| He started writing down some sins of some guys... | ||
| Did Christ himself not understand the Harper PTA, the Harper Valley PTA moment and the Matt Gaetz moment when he wrote in the sand and the betters saw their sins written down on that sand? | ||
| They backed off, right? | ||
| And what did Christ say? | ||
| Lady, go and sin no more. | ||

That's the moment we're in. | |
| And if we flinch, and if we blink, they're going to have another victory. | ||
| They're going to go in the hexes, in the cashes, in the Tulsi Gabbards, in the RFKs. | ||
| He took a bullet to the head. | ||
| He gets his cabinet. | ||
| This is his first pick. | ||
| Now, Pam Bondi's got it, but that's why he's got to come back to Congress. | ||
|
unidentified
|
100 million angels singin' It's quite obvious. | |
| Nothing could be clearer. | ||
| Matt Gaetz must return to Congress as a conquering hero on the shoulders of the people. | ||
| That crowd we saw the other day, the War Room Posse. | ||
| We want Gates and we will have Gates' back on the work ahead. | ||
