WarRoom Battleground EP 808: Johnson Calls For Release OF Epstein Files
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Speaker Johnson, this is sort of on the heels of something else that a lot of people are asking questions about.
And because we've been lied to by our federal government for so long, I feel like there's some type of like a pain point, right?
And the pressure cooker that gets heated up on issues like the Epstein issue, right?
And obviously that's something that's taken over a lot of the online dialogue.
I have a question here about it that concerns either testifying or testimony for Jelaine Maxwell potentially before Congress, or if you would support members like Marjorie Taylor Greene or Anna Paulina Luna on the release of subpoenaing the Epstein documents from the DOJ, whether you would support either of those.
Yeah, I haven't talked to Marjorie or Anna about that specific subject, but I'm for transparency.
We're intellectually consistent in this.
Look, Reagan used to tell us we should trust the American people.
I believe in that principle.
I know President Trump does as well, and I trust him.
I mean, he put together a team of his choosing, and they're doing a great job.
It's a very delicate subject, but we should put everything out there and let the people decide it.
I mean, the White House and the White House team are privy to facts that I don't know.
I mean, this isn't my lane.
I haven't been involved in that.
But I agree with the sentiment that we need to put it out there.
And, you know, Pam Bondi, I don't know when she originally made the statement.
I think she was talking about documents, as I understood it.
They were on her desk.
I don't know that she was specific about a list or whatever, but she needs to come forward and explain that to everybody.
I like Pam.
I mean, I think she's done a good job.
We need the DOJ focusing on the major priorities.
So let's get this thing resolved so that they can deal with violent crime and public safety and election integrity and going after Act Blue and the things that the president is most concerned about as we are.
So I'm anxious to get this by.
This is the primal scream of a dying regime.
Pray for our enemies.
Because we're going medieval on these people.
Here's not going to free shot 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've tried 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?
Mega 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.
Waru, here's your host, Stephen K. Mann.
Okay, Tuesday, 15 July, Euroville or 2025.
I want to play that one.
That was Benny Johnson actually in the speaker's office doing an interview.
Just popped up for us.
Speaker Johnson, and this, I would say, not close coordination with the White House.
He does back the White House a number of things, but he drops a couple of bombs there.
Marjorie Taylor Greene and others have been saying, hey, they want Maxwell to come and testify before Congress and the nation.
I think he said right there he would back that up.
Also, he thinks, I guess they ought to be turning it over.
President Trump said today, hey, anything that's relevant or ready, kind of did as a throwaway line, should be turned over.
fact, maybe I'll pull that clip and play it again.
I want to play this one again so it fully hits the...
We've been very consistent on this.
It's got to be turned over.
We think if they have problems, turn it over to the special counsel we think is going to be announced here in the next couple of days, which is going to get to the heart of looking at the deep state's efforts to take down President Trump, which to me is the number one priority we have to do.
I think this fits right into it because it's pretty clear that Epstein was working with intelligence services.
And I think that's going to be the thing that shocks people, not just his list or wherever these billionaires were and rich people and other plugged-in people throughout the world, but that there was intelligence apparatuses of this country and other countries that were intimately involved in this.
And this is why we're going to have Jefferson Morley on tomorrow, one of the best writers and researchers into this whole Kennedy assassination, which is becoming more and more clear 60-some years afterwards that there was a coup against President Kennedy.
And if what was said in the Washington Post today about what the CIA knew and how they had been actively involved in monitoring Oswald, particularly in New Orleans and in Dallas, if that had come out on the Friday night of President Kennedy's assassination, the nation would have exploded, right?
Given what had happened in the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Let's play that clip again.
Because this is going to be driving the story overnight and tomorrow about where this is.
The Speaker of the House interviewed just a short while ago.
Speaker Johnson, this is sort of on the heels of something else that a lot of people are asking questions about.
And because we've been lied to by our federal government for so long, I feel like there's some type of like a there's a pain point, right?
And a pressure cooker that gets heated up on issues like the Epstein issue.
Right.
And obviously that's something that's taken over a lot of the online dialogue.
I have a question here about it that concerns either testifying or testimony for Jelaine Maxwell potentially before Congress, or if you would support members like Marjorie Taylor Greene or Anna Paulina Luna on the release of subpoenaing the Epstein documents from the DOJ, whether you would support either of those.

So let's get this thing resolved so that they can deal with violent crime and public safety and election integrity and going after Act Blue and the things that the president is most concerned about as we are.
So I'm anxious to get this by.
Let's get it resolved, then get to the other things.
Have Maxwell testify to Congress.
Also back APL and MTG on actually subpoenaing, have Congress subpoena the documents.
It's the lead story.
If we can cut it, I don't know if we have it right now, but the way that the Daily Mail puts those lead stories up there, it's the lead story in the Daily Mail right now getting a massive amount of traffic.
Benny hit on something and the speaker doubled down on it.
It's the lack of institutional trust.
This is why I made that speech and chose my words very carefully on Saturday evening at Tampa at the Student Action Summit of Charlie Kirk and Turning Point.
We have to take apart the deep state.
We have an institutional problem, not simply an individual problem.
You have an institutional problem.
We have it in this country, and it's not going away.
And the more successful President Trump is at getting these things done, the institutional problems just become highlighted of how they're still trying to thwart him.
This is part of the situation in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Like I say, the three most powerful institutions in the city are the CIA, the Federal Reserve, and CENCOM.
Mike Lindell, I asked you to stay over, not to sell me a pillow, but your personal experience is one of literally dozens and dozens of President Trump's colleagues and people he work with that doesn't even include the thousands or hundreds and hundreds and thousands, leading to thousands for the January 6th folks.
What was your experience?
FBI, you're a prominent businessman, a huge philanthropic effort.
You were the leader in trying to get to the election integrity, a revered figure for at least half the country, the MAGA movement.
And they treated you like you were a common criminal, and you've never been charged for anything.
In fact, I think to tell people how they hunted you down and try to humiliate you like they did Tina Peters when they arrested her in a coffee shop and dragged her out into the parking lot, sir.
All right.
First, I'm going to backtrack a little bit what's going on, Steve.
One of the biggest things that surprised me, everybody, when I went all in to secure our elections and the 2020 stolen election, and I just dove into it with, I'm going, these are deviations and anomalies in history.
And I've said it before on my shows, and I've said it publicly.
The biggest surprise of all for me was the blockers, I call them, the uniparty Republicans.
You get down to, I give an example, in Arizona, all of a sudden, the head of the Senate is going to, they're going to decertify and all of a sudden they vote and they get, it's like they get zapped and something happened.
And these are the things that don't make sense.
When you talk about Pam, when Pam came out a few months ago, obviously she had some.
She's showing off something.
Something happened we don't know about.
And I think it's been presented wrong.
I think it's been saying, you know, instead of whatever it is, you don't just say out there was nothing when there was something.
Things like this that don't make sense to us all.
And here's what they did to me specifically after one attack after another, and not just by the left or the media and all this.
This was our, this was got down one of the biggest problems was the FBI.
I'm coming back from a hunting trip with my buddy and it's noon.
It's 1230 in the afternoon.
And we pull into a Hardee's.
And for those of you that haven't heard the story, this is bizarre.
There was no one in line.
I got my food.
All of a sudden, the car pulls in sideways in front of me, one up to the right of us and one behind us.
Now realize we have guns, shotguns in the back.
We're coming back from a morning duck hunting trip that's two hours from my company where I stand right now.
Now I said to my buddy, something's going down.
I said, something's going down.
Something's happening.
If any of you have read my book, I know I've been in a lot of places.
I've been in the streets.
I've been, I had guns to my head and swords to my throat.
And I opened my door and I yelled out, I said, who are you and what do you want?
These were old cars.
It wasn't the FBI black cars that looked like FBI guys.
This is beat up undercover.
You would never know that they're FBI.
Looked like a bunch of gangsters.
And the guy goes, we're FBI.
I said, I don't believe you.
Show me your badge.
He shows me his badge.
I said, how about you?
I said, show me your badge.
He shows me his badge.
I said, what do you want?
And he says, and he says, we're not going to arrest you.
We just want to talk to you.
Now, let's frame that right there, everybody.
If this would have happened at night, I wouldn't have got out and said, let me see your badge or what do you want?
I would have bashed through them and went looking for a real cop.
I wouldn't have even hesitated because I was a target then and I knew that.
And I took off, but I thought I was a target of deep state bad guys, which I was, not the FBI.
So now we get out there and he starts asking me, there's FBI guys from Colorado.
They're from Minnesota.
There's like, they're like cattle out there, a bunch of, you know, there's like six of them.
And they're all, yeah, we're not going to arrest you.
We just want to ask you some questions.
And my buddy's just going into this panic.
I said, can he go sit down?
And they said, yeah.
And I said, I mean, I've been in situations like this, so I didn't care.
I'm in their face and going, and they're asking me these questions.
And I'm going, I said, no, I want to get arrested.
This is what I said to him.
I want to get arrested.
I want to go to January 6th, that committee, even though I wasn't there.
And they go, Mike, those are different FBI guys.
I go, I go, well, what are you here for?
They wouldn't explain it.
Then they finally, I found out they're from Colorado.
I said, oh, you're the guys in Colorado that ripped citizens down the steps, mothers, their daughters down the steps.
13-year-olds Made them stand out in the yard in their underwear.
Nobody got arrested.
And I said, You guys did that and you bashed Sharona Bishop's door down with a battering ram.
And the FBI goes, She didn't open her door fast enough.
I said, Oh, really?
We're supposed to all have little egg timers.
33, 34.
It was 34 seconds, according to when they from the time they knocked it when they bashed it down with a battering ram.
Now, we go all the way through this.
And then, you know, obviously this was that they were trying to make it into, as the political prisoner now, Tina Peters, bring it back to that.
And I'm realizing this.
They're asking me about my plane.
Well, where'd you go on your plane?
What have you used your plane for?
Well, I'm telling, listen here, FBI guys, I put over 750 hours on.
I wore out four pilots and flew around this country trying to secure our elections and meeting with the Secretary of State's attorney generals.
That's all I did for a year and a half.
So I'm shooing these guys out, basically.
And then they go, finally, he gets to the point, he goes, well, we need to take your phone.
I go, you're not getting my phone.
By the way, everybody, I still don't have my phone back.
There's pictures on there of my grandkids.
My father passed away after that.
And I still don't have it back.
But anyway, he goes, yeah, we want your phone.
I said, you're not getting my phone.
I want to be arrested.
I wanted to get arrested because I wanted to make the news so that I could say we got to get rid of the voting machine.
It was all a thing.
It was the only way I could get the word out.
So I, you know, maybe then it would actually get on Fox News and they would report something.
So that was my thinking.
Well, they go, no, we're not going to arrest you.
And I said, well, you're not getting my phone.
And they said, well, why don't you?
I said, I said, no, we're taking your phone.
I said, I want to call my lawyer.
They go, no, you can't call a lawyer.
I said, well, then we got a problem.
Then I get my wish.
You've got to arrest me.
You're not getting my phone.
I need to call my attorney.
So finally they say, okay, you can call your attorney.
The attorney's going, give him your phone.
And after he reads this thing that they had given me, this sheet, one of the things this sheet said, I'll never forget, it said, now this is part of an ongoing investigation.
You have the right to tell people about this confiscation or this incident.
But we suggest, we hope you don't, that you would reach out to the Attorney General of Colorado before you would tell the world.
So I did that at night.
I'm going to show you.
Everybody plug your ears.
And I read that paper, told everybody.
But at those FBI guys, Steve, what they did.
And now this is an hour and a half later.
There's crowds around the Hardy Parkland.
And I'm just stopped backing down and I start telling him, I said, what's wrong with you guys?
I said, I said, the one guy had read my book.
I'm starting to talk about Jesus Christ and the Lord and trying to get these people.
Have you read?
Have you read the story?
I said, and I said, and he goes, he goes, yeah, I said, and you're sitting here doing stuff against the citizens that you know is wrong.
The one guy goes, Mike, we're just doing our job.
I go, your job, if it was your job, you could have drove to my corporate and said, hey, give me a download of my phone.
And I would have gladly given it to you.
I'm the most transparent person that ever walked the planet.
Isn't that right, Tim Cook?
You know, I don't care.
They could have got, you know, instead you try and trap me.
So maybe it's a, you know, that I did bash through.
And then boy, that one would have said, my pillow guy tries to escape and, you know, guns in the car.
Who knows?
We don't know, but they, but I shoot him out and for over a half hour.
And finally, the one FBI guy goes, Mike, we got to go.
You know, he goes, I've been doing this 30-some years.
I've never seen a stop like this.
I said, well, I said, you know what?
You haven't seen me.
This is disgusting what you're doing to citizens.
I said, look at my friend there.
My friend's in the car.
He's still shaking to this day.
He was afraid that he got in trouble or something.
I go, I've done nothing wrong.
So, Steve, I took that case to the Supreme Court.
They wouldn't look at it.
Another fine institution.
Oh, we wouldn't look at it because you don't have Stanning.
I don't have Stanning.
It's my phone.
It's the American.
It's our freedoms.
You know, nowadays, it's just not taking someone you to call.
Like I say, I had pictures on it, but I had other stuff on there, passwords and stuff I couldn't get back.
And I had to go redo it.
It runs about five businesses.
And then we took it to the eighth court here, the eighth district or Supreme Court, Minnesota.
I remember bringing it there.
In fact, I did the war room from out in the hallway.
I got in trouble for doing the hit from the hallway.
But they asked the FBI, they asked their lawyers, these judges did, and said, why didn't you just make a copy of his phone?
And why do you need the physical phone or whatever?
And she wouldn't give an answer.
Then they asked her, well, what's the attorney client privilege?
Who's looking for that?
This is our government saying, well, we look at that.
So what do you look at and say, well, guess we shouldn't have seen that.
We shouldn't have seen that.
Well, obviously they've had it since September of 2022.
And where is it?
Steve, I thought with our new FBI guys coming in that I would get my phone back.
It's pretty simple.
You know, give me back my pictures, but it's not just about a phone.
It's our freedoms.
And here's these guys saying, oh, we're just doing our job.
When you go against your moral compass, shame on you.
That's the way I feel about all these blockers that are out there.
And it's not just the FBI.
I've had CIA after me, all kinds of stuff that I could go on and on.
And I would take up to hours of your show by the institute, the government.
We got to bounce.
We got to bounce right now.
Where do they go to get to the company?
Where do they need to go to get to my pillow and use the promo code worm?
You guys go to mypillow.com.
You guys, we got everything.
We're trying to raise money right now.
We just won the big lawsuit, but we're trying to raise money now.
We have clothes out on the Giza Dream Sheets, $49.98, you guys.
All these slippers and sandals, as low as $9.99.
The slippers, we're closing out $39.98.
But call 800-873-1062.
I am going to be downstairs right now taking calls.
I'm back here.
I want to get, we treat every customer like it's our only customer, unlike our government.
But by the way, Steve, the IRS is a jack and a two and the Attorney General of Minnesota.
So, but we could really use your help.
Roma Code War.
What's the number people call right now?
What's the number they call right now?
800-873-1062.
I'm going down there.
I'm going to take calls for the next half hour if you get me, or if you get another rep, say, I want to talk to Mike.
I'll take your order just like the good old days: 800-873-1062.
And by the way, Keith Ellison, the Attorney General of Minnesota, he's also attacking our Lindel Recovery Network, Steve, that I know is very dear to you and helping addicts, me being a former addict.
That's LindellRecoveryNetwork.org, everybody.
He's not a big fan of Christianity.
Let's just put it at that.
Thank you, Mike Lindell.
Look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
Jane Zerker, we're going to do something very special when we come back from commercial break.
Where were you today?
And what are these interviews that we're going to see that you did?
Yeah, I spent today at the United States Congress interviewing MAGA representatives about the big, beautiful bill.
It was the first ever new media event that they held.
It was an amazing day.
Lots of reps were on the ground, lots of alternative media that they've welcomed into the media circles there.
And I asked them, what was the biggest victory for MAGA and what was the biggest letdown for MAGA?
And what they told me repeatedly was that the bill has been great as far as advancing President Trump's agenda, particularly when it comes to border security, but they still want to see a lot more done in terms of spending and the deficit.
And so I talked to them about that.
I also touched on manufacturing and infrastructure and how this is empowering American innovation and serving the American worker, of course, that is President Trump's base, the working class American, which is what this bill really set out to incentivize as far as taxes and the economy goes to further advance the American worker and economic mobility for them.
We're going to get to that in just a second.
And I'm glad that Jane did it because right now, hung up, they're trying to get to the Senate floor the $9 billion because $400 million has been cut off on the rescissions package.
And we just can't, President Trump doesn't have the time to go through this time and time again.
So Rust Vote and these guys, I love you guys, but we got to just go right to the, you got to go to the impoundments or pocket rescissions.
Take your pick.
But President Trump can't be every time taking its opportunity costs for him.
And you can see the guys in the house are sitting there going, they know it.
You know why they know it?
You, the audience, are lighting these folks up every day.
Hang on for a second, Jane.
These interviews are pretty amazing.
Trevor Comstock, I want to make sure you get in here.
I want to make sure people get access to Sacred Human Health and can actually go to the website, see what's there because folks I know that have done it are raving about it.
What do you got for us today, sir?
Yeah, thank you, Steve.
I appreciate it.
Today, I just wanted to quickly highlight on one of our super popular products, which is our natural sleep formula.
And what's really unique about this specific product is that it's derived from four natural elements and also completely free of melatonin.
So all four of our ingredients actually work together to naturally calm you before bed, as well as help keep you asleep during the night.
And also to prevent you from waking up without that groggy feeling that people oftentimes get when taking things like melatonin or other sleep medications for that matter.
And when we created this product, we were also kind of searching the market to see what else was out there that was natural.
And unfortunately, what we found were that, you know, a lot of these companies will advertise natural sleep products or natural sleep formulas.
But then if you look at the label, you'll still find the melatonin that's added, as well as other preservatives and chemicals that aren't ideal for health.
So also on top of that, a lot of the issues that you see with sleep medications and other sleep formulas is that they're essentially designed to get you to become dependent on them.
Whereas, you know, because we're just using natural ingredients at Sacred Human, it just adds as additional sleep support and we don't get you hooked on it, which is a big plus.
So at Sacred Human, you know, we just, like I said, want to stick with the natural ingredients and not include any other unnatural ingredients for that matter.
So really, it's just the four ingredients, which are the magnesium glycinate, the apogenin, the L-theanine, and the what, and the glycine, which synergistically work together to naturally upgrade your sleep.
So if you are struggling with sleep, I can't recommend this product enough.
You know, I personally take it almost every night.
Works wonders for me.
And then we also just get an influx of emails as well as reviews of people just raving about it.
So I'm always super happy to hear that.
But yeah, won't go on for too much longer.
They rave about it.
I know.
It was fantastic.
That's one of the reasons I'm glad you're highlighting this product today.
People are trying these products, whether it's a beef liver or the immunity product or the sleep product, rave about it, come to me and say, hey, they love it.
I want to make sure they go, just like over at Coffee, at Warpath Coffee, and read the reviews.
Where do they go on the site right now and how they get access to you, Trevor?
Yeah, great question.
So you can go to sacredhumanhealth.com or as always, just type in sacred human to the search bar and we'll pop up.
A ton of reviews you can sift through and check out for yourself, as well as information if you click on each product.
And then if you have any questions, just click the contact us button at the top.
But again, sacredhumanhealth.com.
Appreciate you.
Great company.
Thank you.
The CEO and founder, Trevor Comstock.
Thank you, brother.
Jane, where do people go?
I love these interviews.
We've actually got some more.
Hopefully we'll play tomorrow.
Where do people go on your social media to catch up with you, ma'am?
Yeah, so I actually just posted an Instagram exclusive with Congressman Timmons of South Carolina.
So you can find me there at Jane Zirkle.
You can also find me on XGetter YouTube.
And I started a Facebook page as well if you want to give that a like.
And I will be posting clips from the interviews over the next few days.
So be sure to check it out.
Fantastic.
Jane Zirkle, we let her loose on Capitol Hill.
She'll be up there for a couple days.
Got a lot to go through.
The folks down in Texas, they're now going to fight for redistricting for five new MAGA congressional districts.
That's going to be a good old Donny Brook.
972 Patriots.
Sign up today for Patriot Mobile.
Glenn Story and the team fighting the good fight throughout the nation.
Stop giving your money to people that hate you.
But the reason you should switch, it's the best mobile service around.
It layers on top of all three of the big mobile services, but it's got specific services that it can turn you onto.
Go check right now, 972-Patriot.
Talk to a United States citizen that will give you all the information.
Glenn Stury and the team and the folks down in Texas.
Texas is the railhead of the MAGA movement.
Texas, I guess, Florida, right?
Just absolutely amazing what's happening down there.
The fight of the Patriots in Texas to make sure that it's MAGA has been unbelievable.
And I'll be down there next, I think late next week with Glenn Story and the team.
We're going to take a short commercial break, just a short commercial break.
James Zirkle, we let her loose on Capitol Hill today.
Fascinating interviews about what some of your representatives say, hey, are the wins and what the work still needs to be done.
Once again, Russ vote and the team, you guys are doing a great job, but man, just going up and doing these rescissions, just grinding it out, billions by bands, not going to work.
The Senate does not want to work with you.
It's obvious.
Short commercial break.
Jane Zirkle on the other side.
In America's heart, go on, raise the flag.
I am joined by Congressman Moore.
Congressman, President Trump faces working class America.
How does a big, beautiful bill serve them?
I'll tell you, this bill helps working class America like no bill before.
No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, lowers taxes for everyone.
It invests in energy production, something that's not talked about a lot.
You know, we have one of the greatest natural resources in our country with petroleum, with oil, with coal, with all of these.
And what we saw for four years in the Biden administration was where they were trying to make America fight with one hand tied behind our back on the international stage, both militarily, frankly, and when it comes to energy, by unleashing our energy exploration potential and production.
That's going to do a lot for those of you out there, not only when you pay for gas at the pump and when you pay for your power bill and all that stuff.
But think about the countries where we get the wealth from sometimes.
Some of these countries don't like us.
Why are we going to rely on countries like that for energy exploration when we have it quite reviews?
This bill does that.
It fully funds the board of bill.
It deals with illegal immigration.
I mean, it finally does something toward the national debt.
Now, frankly, I would like to see us think even a little bit more on the national debt.
But we finally are moving in the right direction.
It asserts, for example, education funding so that parents get more ability to choose the education for their children instead of bureaucrats.
I mean, I'm forgetting probably a couple dozen other things, right?
But it does so much to just to return freedom to people, returning money to people, and to get the government out of our choice.
Yeah, talk to me a little bit more about how this bill empowers American manufacturing and further grows our innovation, Megan America.
Tell me about that.
So a lot of the tax changes are specifically going to help businesses and small businesses, allowing them to, the way they expense equipment, the way they deduct various other expenses, and allow them to take that capital and infuse that back into creating more jobs.
We know that technique, when it comes to manufacturing, technique, you can't just compete with countries with cheap labor.
So what you have to do is you have to make your products better and you have to be more efficient.
You have to use technology.
This bill puts resources into allowing that to happen as well.
As far as American infrastructure goes, what do you want to see in terms of improving our freight rails, for example, our shipping ports, just making America a hub for connectivity like we're seeing in China to compete with China?
Yeah, I told somebody one day when we were talking about roads, we need to also say make America move again, right?
For those people out there who are sitting in traffic, matter of fact, I'm about to have some people who will be listening to this, who are going to be stuck sitting in traffic when they're listening to this show.
And it's a problem, particularly in areas of the country like I represent, that are growing very rapidly.
We need to make sure that we're putting money into improving infrastructure.
Now, when it comes to transportation, the folks on the left have some different ideas.
They've got ideas of unicorns and pixie dust and whatever else.
You need to build roads.
There's a space for light rail, for example.
But at the end of the day, it's about roads.
And it's about, when it comes to heavy transport, about rail and about having good access to ports.
So those things all fit together.
Set the record straight on health care because a lot of Americans are concerned.
What does a Big Beautiful bill mean for my health care coverage?
Well, so what it does, if you're someone who's disabled, right, or you're someone who is like a single parent that has a child that you need to take care of and you don't have a job, you're going to be in chaos.
If you're somebody who needs help, who cannot take care of themselves, this safety net for Medicaid is going to stay there.
But guess what?
If you're somebody who's in this country illegally, if you're someone who has committed fraud in terms of getting these assets, or if you're someone who's able-bodied, if you're somebody who's in, you know, you're in your 20s, you don't have a dependent child at home, you could go out and work, but you just refuse to hit a lick, then guess what?
You are going to get bruised in this assay at that point.
Because Medicaid was never designed to be a handout to people who can take care of themselves.
It's a program for those who can't.
And what's happened as a result is that a lot of things that people who need the resources need, those people can't get access to what they truly need because there's so much waste, fraud, and abuse.
This bill finally addresses that.
There is also a big focus on military and defense.
How does this serve our veterans?
Oh, wow.
So the amount of, you know, there were two areas that we wanted to make cuts across a broad spectrum to deal with a national debt.
There were two areas, however, that we wanted to increase funding.
Border security and national defense.
So Billions of new dollars being put into national defense, both for our active duty service members, for our reservists, for our guardsmen, and to help our veterans as well.
Those who have stepped up and offered and done so much for the cause of liberty.
So it does all of that.
And here's an interesting stat.
I don't know how many of you listeners and viewers know this.
China right now makes more ships in one month, in one month, more warships in one month than we do in two years.
Think about that, right?
The amount they're producing in terms of like satellite technology, aircraft.
We can't just keep letting that happen because we know their intentions are not, they're not aligned with ours.
So it's very important that what we did in this bill and that we build on that.
One of the things that's important is a lot of folks acted like this was the only bill.
Well, we know there are two more reconciliation bills in the work.
So we didn't get everything we wanted to get in this.
One of the things I really want to see this bill is to be on the national debt.
So fortunately, we have two other reconciliation bills.
And after we've done the recisions, the procedures are the bills that are designed to rein in the wasteful spending that the DODE process helped identify.
Putting that in place and then rein in that out of control spending, which in turn would help on our national debt.
What is your call to action to the warroom policy on those two remaining bills?
I would say, well, right now, those are still in the works right now.
So nothing to do right this minute, but stay engaged.
But I'll tell you the thing I would call on folks to get out there right now, and that is to help counter the fake news and the false information, particularly when it comes to the Medicaid.
You know, there's some of the weapons that all of these people are going to get kicked off of Medicaid that are disabled and stuff.
I mean, there are folks right outside this room that they'll have folks come in here, folks who are in wheelchairs and are quickly disabled.
Guess what?
They are not going to lose their access to Medicaid.
It's just lies.
And those people are being used and being lied to by the West.
And so I think it's important that folks get out there and spread the truth and talk about it.
And guess what?
As time goes on, a year from now, right, when we see that people who are in need of access to this safety net, when they haven't lost it, it's going to prove that the Democrats are lying.
Well, thank you so much for your time, Congressman.
Thanks for having me.
The Trump base is working class America.
How does a Big Beautiful Bill serve them?
Well, I'll tell you this right here.
President Trump campaigned about if he was elected the 47th president of America, what he will do.
You think about it, we had more than 15 million illegal aliens that came into our country that has just inundated health care, education, crime.
And so you start looking at it, the first thing he did is he said, we're going to get the border under control.
That's exactly what's happened.
You look at it.
He's released no people illegal into our country.
The guideaways have dropped at a rate never seen before.
And then you look at what he committed in this big beautiful bill.
You start looking at 700 miles of border fence.
You start looking at 900 miles of water barrier.
We know that the fence and the water barrier works.
And what we want to do is we want those that come to our country legally and those that have something to offer to our economy, our workforce.
We're the most generous country that this world's ever seen.
But again, $15 million is unacceptable.
The American people have said enough is enough.
And Donald Trump, another promise made, another promise kept.
Talk to me a little bit about the investment in American innovation, especially when it comes to competing with our adversaries like China.
How does the Big Beautiful Bill support that?
Well, you look at it, the Big Beautiful Bill brings jobs back to America.
Our industrial base is set to be successful.
We have a billion dollars with national security.
The big thing is we can avoid most of these wars by being prepared.
That's exactly what we're fixing to do.
We're fixed to be sure that our clip is full.
We're going to make sure that we've got the most trained and lethal warfighter this world has ever seen.
But our hope is that we don't have to utilize that.
But if we are called upon, that we go in there with one objective, and that is to win.
So I think this bill offers that.
I think that our industrial base will answer that challenge.
You start looking at space exploration.
You look at national security.
All of this is in that bill.
You start looking at transportation, working with the states.
You look at spending, permanent tax cuts.
The people of America have been taxed enough.
They're ready to understand that those tax cuts that Donald Trump did as the 45th president of America, they're not temporary.
They now are permanent, and the American people are better because of it.
Speaking of transportation, how does the Big Beautiful Bill pull back on regulations in areas such as freight rail and shipping?
Well, you look at it.
These dollars will be spent on everything.
It includes Amtrak, freight, rail.
And what we've got to do is maximize this economy where we're using this to better America.
We have a great truckers that are able to take it by crown, but also our rail system.
And what we're doing is to be sure not only that we take people appropriately, but also that our freight is taken care of.
I think this right here just shows the American people that America is back.
This has been the most dynamic six months ever in the history of this Congress.
There's been a lot of work, but I'll tell you this right here.
Donald Trump made a promise to the people of America, and America is first again.
You touched on defense spending a little bit.
Talk to me about how this bill serves veterans and our military.
Well, you start looking at it.
That's one of the biggest things.
We've got to be sure that our veterans that have faithfully served this country are taken care of, whether it's health care.
You start looking at MILCON dollars.
These are dollars to be sure that our junior enlisted have a safe place to live when they're serving our country.
I'm really excited about that.
You start building better accommodations for that person that's wanting to learn more about protecting our country.
I think that makes us a better warfighter.
And then you start looking at the technology.
I come from Huntsville, Alabama, Rocket City, USA, and that's what we do.
We want to be sure that we have, it will take less fighters, but yet a more technical warfighter.
So we've seen that that will work.
But you look at the people that are enlisting to serve our country now, never at a higher rate.
So I think that speaks volumes to our commander-in-chief.
But you look at the National Defense Authorization Act, it shows that we're committed to the warfighter.
What we're asking our contractors to do is to do it more cost-effectively.
We've got to be sure that we're investing in the right products, the right technology that works best for our country.
And so I think that it's going to work.
I think it's already worked.
And I think that you start looking at other things in this big, beautiful bill.
We're cutting spending.
A lot of people talk it.
Donald Trump came in from day one and addressed the members of Congress and our caucus and just said, Hey, I told you we were going to cut spending, and that's exactly what he's done.
But also getting a fair playing field.
These tariffs that have been charged to America for more than 50 years, where we charge zero, people are charging us 60 or 70 percent.
And I'll be honest with you, that's the thing that's being worked on right now is what's going on in Europe.
And I'm thankful for the U.S. warfighter because you think about it.
Without America, Europe would be speaking German right now.
So we're sitting here in a situation where our country is back going in the right direction.
It's a big difference in what the Democrats are.
They're voting against everything that we recommend.
They're voting against the U.S. warfighter.
They're warning men in the women's dressing room.
That's not acceptable from the district that I represent in North Alabama.
And I just tell the people to evaluate what has happened in these last six months.
And are you better off today under Donald Trump or were you better off under Joe Biden and what went on in those four years that he served as president?
southern border is under control.
We got it under control, and Donald Trump had a plan and has executed that.
And America is better because of it.
Big time, big time.
Well, thank you so much for your time, Congressman.
Thank you for having me today.
Awesome.
President Trump's face, working class Americans.
How does the big, beautiful bill serve them?
Well, a lot of that is no tax on tips, no tax on manufacturing to create jobs.
Keeping the 199A deduction at the current tax level, if we wouldn't have done that, the 199A deduction, which affects small businesses, would have gone up by 20%.
So think of your small electrical company or plumbing company that now has to pay 20% more in federal income taxes.
They're going to have to cut up more use.
They're going to have to make tough decisions.
It's not going to be beneficial to the economy.
So all of those help your working people.
None of this was situated to help billionaires.
This was situated to help the working clubs.
A big focus of President Trump's first film was modernization.
Talk to me about how the big critical bill feeds into innovation, particularly when it comes to manufacturing and the nation's infrastructure.
Well, we want to bring manufacturing back to the United States.
We want to create a tax environment that is beneficial for businesses to do that, not offshore jobs and offshore manufacturing.
We don't want our manufacturing in China.
We don't want our manufacturing in Mexico.
We want it here in the United States.
In order to do that, we can put a tax policy in place that makes it beneficial for companies to move back to the United States and have their manufacturing plants here.
We saw in COVID, we don't want to be getting our medicine from outside of the country.
We don't want to be getting our PPE and our medical protective equipment from outside the country.
We want to be manufacturing that either, just from the safety and security of the American people.
But you have to create a tax environment that is beneficial for those businesses to move back, and that's what this COVID is.
Defense and national security, how does the big people bail put us on the right track?
The border.
This delivers on all of President Trump's promises on the border.
Joe Biden let 12 million illegals into our country, over 400 known terrorists.
There's like 50,000 Chinese Communist Party individuals, 30,000 Russians.
Those people didn't come here to live the American dream.
They came here to be planted in our country to cause harm.
And we finally have a president that cares about the safety and security of the American people, shut the border down, and has prioritized the American people over illegal immigrants.
Talk to me a little bit about how we are completely signing with this bill in terms of our transportation, shipping, freight rail, et cetera.
Well, again, we want to bring car manufacturing back.
We want to bring manufacturing back.
We want to keep the tax base on all of our businesses and our small businesses low.
Had we not done that, passed this bill, all of those tax rates would have increased dramatically, which would have then forced businesses to go to Mexico or to go to China.
So we're making the United States much more competitive against China to encourage those type of industries to stay and or move back to the United States.
You are a veteran.
How does this bill serve veterans, particularly when it comes to the VA in health care?
Well, the biggest thing for me is the border and the safety and security of the American people.
I think that's important.
I've also got a bill and possibly an amendment this week if we can get to that on making TRICAR available for all veterans.
That's been a big thing for me.
If you're a service connected, you should be able to go anywhere you want to get the health care you need.
It's called True Choice for our Veterans, and I'm hopeful that this Congress, we can get to that.
Wonderful.
Thank you so much, Congress.
Thanks for having me.
I'll start by asking you, present-based, working-class Americans, how does this bill serve them?
Yes, well, I represent them.
I'm from a very dark rural area in Illinois.
My husband and I are farmers.
We raised a big family.
So I know what it feels like to try to live on a budget to bear the ups and downs of agriculture.
So this is huge.
First of all, the tax cuts for a family of four will put $15,500 in their annual paycheck extra to the bill.
And then also extending President Trump's tax cut job check is very significant for the family farm.
to like preserve the family farm and like the best people have passed on to the next generation.
Now, obviously, when we talk about farming, there's a big competition going on right now with China.
How does this bill empower American communities?
Well, we don't actually compete with China in production.
But are you do you think?
Well, President Trump is he's for America first, and he's calling out his bad advantage of it.
And, you know, I appreciate that he's going to do his best to negotiate for us.
But America should be producing its own food.
I know, I think it's outrageous that we import 4 billion pounds of food into our country.
We should be producing our own, but we need to look at policies that don't drive consolidation in the ag industry, but preserve the family farm.
Because Americans don't want corporate farming.
They want to know what the use case is.
No tax on tips was a great campaign coming.
I got a lot of people excited.
How does this bill roll that out and what does that look like?
No tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax blank for seniors.
So there's a lot of great features for different inputs.
Tell me a little bit about what this does as far as the defense industry and that industry and also how does this bill serve our veterans.
Well, we put the veterans first and also giving our military cost of living increases.
We need to, you know, I've been hearing that we're having to use snap dollars to go buy groceries and that's, you know, we shouldn't be doing that.
We should definitely need support to do that.
But President Trump is going to make sure our military is keeping that.
Set the record straight as far as health care goes.
I know a lot of people are worried about Medicaid.
What is this billing to know as far as that?
Well, I tell people, if you're an eligible recipient of Medicaid, your benefits are not going to get cut a dollar.
Basically, what we want are work requirements for able-bodied people to go work 20 hours a week or enroll in a jobs training program or volunteer in the community 20 hours a week.
It's so healthy for people.
What is your favorite part about this bill and what do you think is biggest concessions or under this piece of legislation?
Well, my biggest concession, so one of my top priorities is to defund Planned Parenthood.
The American people don't want to pay for elective abortions.
They have billions of dollars.
They get billions of dollars.
They charge for their services.
They are not pro-choice.
They're pro-abortion.
They support Democrats, like not overwhelmingly.
They're using their money to support Democrats.
So I was very pleased that the funding for elective abortions was cut off for one year.
But of course, I would have preferred the 10-year, which is what we passed out of the House.
And then also, I hate the green scam.
Where I live is highly productive farm ground, Class A and Class B farm ground, and they're covering it with solar panels and windmills, Chinese solar panels and windmills.
It's unaffordable and it's unreliable energy.
So I'm glad that we were able to repeal a lot of the money in the green scam.
Wonderful.
Well, thank you so much for your time.
