Millstone Report w Paul Harrell: Musk CLOBBERS DC Establishment, SHUT DOWN Until Trump's 2nd Term?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Thank you.
Thank you.
What a day yesterday was when we got off the air.
My goodness, I know everybody up here is talking about it.
Welcome to the program, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the Bill Stump Report.
My name is Paul Harrell.
As always, we cannot do the program without you watching every single day.
You guys know the drill.
There you see it, Musk clobbering yesterday, clobbering the D.C. establishment, also Donald Trump, also J.D. Vance.
It's just really a thing to behold.
We would be lying if I told you that this wasn't a victory.
We're going to kind of go over that.
Of course, we still don't know.
Look, you can never deny the propensity of swamp creatures to get some sort of footing.
You think they're gone and then they come back, so we have to be vigilant on that.
But I will tell you this, a little more than an hour ago, A little over an hour ago, speaking of swamp creatures, Mitch McConnell gave his final address as the Senate Majority Leader.
Well, at the same time, as we're, you know, in the midst of a potential government shutdown, right?
A casual, if you casually browse Google right now, Google News, they're going to tell you, you know, right now there may be a, you know, government shutdown.
And, of course, we know the government doesn't actually shut down, but, you know, they obviously are going to use their 2010 Tea Party scare tactics, like, right?
Well, while that's going on, We're in the midst of a government shutdown looming, something that people in Congress say we cannot let happen.
There's just some things that are apolitical, which is, of course, nonsense.
Mitch McConnell is giving his final address while Donald Trump, while President Trump Is claiming, or calling rather, for an end to the debt ceiling altogether.
You know, this thing that is always used as a political tool to create controversies like this, controversies that we witnessed.
And, of course, it's actually just used to create a crisis so that they can get bills with tons of pork and they can do...
Like, they're literally just running the country by crisis, but the crisis is fake.
What I mean by that is, and I don't know if Donald Trump agrees with me here, but I know Rand Paul was talking about stopping the bill through some sort of filibuster if the bill got out of the House and went to the Senate because we never focus on our debt.
We never actually solve our debt problems.
And all of that's true.
We don't.
As somebody who started all the way back in 2010, 2009, when I first had my first radio program, everybody was freaking out on the ride about the debt.
I was one of them, but it was $12 trillion.
That was huge news, that we were $12 trillion in debt, but now we're over $34, $35, $36, whatever it is.
For the most part, I know the American people have suffered for a lot of reasons because we have leaders that hate us, but For the most part, all of the sky is falling because of the debt.
Nothing has happened.
Nothing bad has happened.
The same people keep getting rich, and then they use things like the debt ceiling to get us to pay attention to D.C. for a little bit.
The media then runs their fear-mongering headlines about how, oh, the Republicans want to shut down the government, and vice versa.
And Donald Trump is now saying, we just need to get rid of the debt ceiling altogether.
Now, look, some of you might be saying, oh, really?
No, we can't.
My point is, what does it even mean?
It's monopoly money.
It's monopoly money.
And I'm telling you right now, if there is some sort of financial collapse, it will be completely planned.
It will be completely orchestrated.
Because it is a crisis in a glass case.
It's been there for a very long time.
You know, that's what it is.
So yeah, you're hearing me say the national debt doesn't matter.
I would say the national debt doesn't matter until somebody decides that it matters.
And that's just a little hypothesis that I've come to that conclusion just after watching...
People cover this.
Reckless spending.
Oh, I'm a fiscal conservative.
What does that even mean anymore?
Because the U.S. dollar is backed by fiat.
The U.S. dollar is also used as a tyranny against other countries, which is why you have the rise of the BRICS nations right now.
It's really interesting, though.
What a picture.
Mitch McConnell, the turtle, the dinosaur turtle, giving his last speech as the majority leader, while Donald Trump, in the midst of a potential government shutdown, is calling to just get rid of the debt ceiling altogether.
I mean, you know, it's certainly going against the status quo.
You can't say that Donald Trump is not going against the status quo.
And let's talk about what happened yesterday.
Mike Johnson, depending on who you talk to, just basically getting embarrassed.
Cat Turd, who got into a very interesting ex-squabble.
Actually, it wasn't even a squabble.
It's all one-sided.
Congressman Dan Crenshaw got absolutely mogged, and he should have.
But anyway, here is Speaker Johnson on Newsmax telling us yesterday that this omnibus bill that, at least for now, has been defeated.
They're now saying, by the way, that they're scrapping the bill, but they may come out with a clean omnibus.
Well, they're calling it a continuous resolution.
They're going to come out now with a clean continuing resolution.
I don't know how they define clean, but I'm not going to hold my breath that it's actually going to be clean, because they very rarely call things what they actually are.
Speaker Mike Johnson telling us yesterday on Newsmax that This omnibus was the conservative thing to do.
This was the conservative play call.
We don't normally like what's called a continued resolution, a CR, but in this case it makes sense because if we push it into the first quarter of next year, then we have a Republican-controlled Congress and President Donald J. Trump back in the White House will be able to have more say over the funding decisions for 2025. This is what we always hear.
This is what's so frustrating.
I mean, we always hear, well, when we get to do it the next time, it'll be different.
When we get to do it the next time, it'll be different.
And it's just, no one believes this.
I don't believe you.
The American people don't believe this.
Well, you just don't know how Washington works.
Well, we know it doesn't work well for the American people now, don't we?
This is...
I saw somebody say that...
What they were trying to do, not just get us to January 20th, they were trying to essentially destroy the first year, at the least, the first year of Donald Trump's presidency.
That's what they want to do.
They want to do everything they can to tie the hands of President Trump for the first year of his presidency.
That's the goal here.
Now, I mean, you know, the juxtaposition here is interesting because, you know, over the last few weeks, we've had Mike Johnson at UFC events with Trump, Musk, and Vance.
We've had Mike Johnson on airplanes eating McDonald's with RFK, you know, Vance, Musk, and Trump, right?
With Mike Johnson kind of hanging out in the background.
People are like, what's going on there?
We had this weekend at the Army-Navy game, you had Johnson, you had Trump, you had Vance, you had Daniel Penney.
You had Musk.
They're hanging out at the Army-Navy game.
Here's my honest question.
Did this 1,500-page ominous bill come up at all in their conversations over the weekend?
I mean, because if it didn't, that's a huge problem.
Now, if it did, you know, whatever.
He has, you know, since come out and said that, you know, he was on a text thread with Elon and Vance and others.
Let's finish this clip up, though.
We've got a lot to get to.
Now, that would have been an easier thing to do.
But then we had circumstances outside of our control.
We had these emergencies that are required.
So we had, as you know, a record hurricane season.
Is he wearing blush?
Milton and they just did massive destruction across our red states frankly in the southeast and the eastern side of the country.
And then we've had farmers who are in jeopardy of permanently going under.
They've had three lost years in a row because of Bidenomics and inflation and other circumstances outside of their control.
It's almost hypnotic, right?
It's like you want to believe him.
If you cobble those two things together, there's a desperate need for that aid, and that's what adds another hundred-plus billion dollars to the bill, and that's why everybody's uncomfortable with it.
I am, too.
We have a massive deficit and debt problem, of course, in this country.
We can begin to address that and shrink the size and scope of government in January with Republican control, but we've got to bridge the gap to get there, and we cannot leave our small farms and ranchers and our people who are devastated by the hurricanes out in the meantime.
So that's the difficult part about this.
So, you know, using the Hurricane Helene victims and everything, that's what we talked about yesterday.
I mean, we played Ann VanderShield's documentary on that.
Putting this in there, but not just putting out a clean bill where you could fund that stuff.
We're going to put all this other stuff in there.
We're going to go over what was in the bill here in a minute.
Then we have this.
This is on Fox and Friends.
We have to fund those.
We have to fund FEMA. We have to fund our farmers.
Right.
And Mr. Speaker, it's not just...
So you've got a bunch of Republicans who are angry at you.
They don't like this.
And just in a couple of weeks...
You're going to stand, once again, to run for Speaker of the House.
And you don't need a bunch of Democrats.
The margins are slim.
This is breaking news you do not know.
You know who also does not like this?
Elon Musk, the world's richest man, just tweeted, this bill should not pass.
The only way you're going to be able to pass it now, Mr. Speaker, is with Democrats.
If you could, what's your message to Elon Musk?
Well, I was communicating with Elon last night.
Elon and Vivek and I are on a text chain together.
And I was explaining to them the background of this.
And Vivek and I talked last night about almost midnight.
And he said, look, I get it.
He said, we understand.
You're in an impossible position.
Everybody knows that.
Remember, guys, we still have just a razor-thin margin of Republicans.
So any bill has to have Democrat votes.
They understand the situation.
They said, it's not directed to you, Mr. Speaker, but we don't like the spending.
I said, guess what, fellas?
I don't either.
We've got to get this done because here's the key.
But we've got to get it done.
By doing this, we are clearing the decks, and we are setting up for Trump to come in, roaring back with America First.
Clearing the decks, setting Trump up to come roaring in.
I'm sorry, specifically because the Democrats support it.
I don't believe that for a second.
I think sabotage is the more appropriate term here.
Sabotage.
Now Thomas Massey is now being called, he calls himself Nostra Thomas.
Nostra Thomas.
Here is Speaker Johnson claiming that there would be no Christmas omnibus.
We have broken the Christmas omnibus, and I have no intention of going back to that terrible tradition.
So there won't be a Christmas omnibus.
Somebody asked me in the hallway a little while ago, will there be many buses?
We don't want any buses.
We're not going to do any buses, okay?
Listen, I've seen this play call like four times in the seven years I've been in Congress.
They've punted the ball until December 20th.
And what they'll do is they'll come in a closed room with us and they'll say, OK, now we've got the really big omnibus.
And if you vote for this, you can go home for Christmas.
But if you don't vote for it and it fails, we're going to make you stay here over Christmas and New Year's.
And it's almost like a dystopian future.
I've been in the closed room where they start chanting, vote, vote, vote, vote.
And people run up there and vote for something they've not read.
CRC, CRC. I want to get home to their families.
Oh, you want to go home for Christmas?
We'll vote for this, and we'll let you go see your families and your new grandbaby, and you can watch your two-year-old.
The level of cynicism in Thomas Massey's demeanor is something to be admired.
I've met guys like this at state legislatures, at the local level, and they're some of the best legislators, and honestly the most fun to be around.
Because, you know, the people that are just able to cut right through it, have the wisdom to cut right through it, tell you exactly the lies, exactly the tricks, exactly what they're trying to get you to do.
And we need about like, you know, 400, we need 534 more Thomas Masseys in Washington, D.C. Open presence.
But if you don't, you're going to stay here with...
Your leadership and their leadership and wait for a bunch of geriatric senators to send over the answer.
By the way, I made a...
Geriatric senators is right.
Nostra Thomas.
He predicts this.
He predicted this perfectly, 100%.
And again, here is the juxtaposition.
But overall with the CR, as our leader just noted...
We have broken the Christmas Omni, and I have no intention of going back to that terrible tradition.
So there won't be a Christmas Omni bus.
Somebody asked me in the hallway a little while ago, will there be minibuses?
We don't want any buses.
No minibuses.
Now, that was Johnson in September of 2024. For those of you who are not watching the program, but you're listening on Apple or Spotify, we appreciate you listening to the audio-only version of this program.
Here is Johnson.
In December of 2024. We're not going to do any buses, okay?
And we've got to get through this.
So, look, everybody understands the necessity.
It is not palatable.
This is the sausage-making part of legislation that nobody likes, but we're governing, and we'll pick it up in January and start a brand new day for America.
But overall, with the CR... The sauce it's making, but we're governing.
This is something Barack Obama did, and I can't stand it.
I wish Republicans would stop this nonsense, but we're governing.
Barack Obama would do this as well.
He would say things like, well, there's some things that the government has to do.
You know, you just got to do it.
And we got to have a responsibility.
Or whatever.
Forgive my terrible Obama impersonation.
But the idea that he would put out is that there are some things the government does that are not political.
And he gets away with it.
You can call it bipartisan.
Well, if it's bipartisan, it's not partisan.
There are some things the government does that are not partisan or not political.
Everything the government does has a reason behind it.
This idea, again, just like we talk about in our society.
You're either a Christian nation or a pagan nation.
Neutrality, pluralism, all the stuff that governs.
That's all nonsense.
It's not true.
You're either one or the other.
And so they try to put out this fight.
Well, the government can just do some things that are just neutral.
No, it doesn't.
And the people that promote that...
Well, we're just governing.
The people that promote that kind of nonsense are lying to you.
Okay?
They're lying to you.
What do we got now?
And by the way, I do think...
Say what you want to about Mike Johnson.
The fact that he's pulled this bill, and we'll see how it ends up.
We have to wait.
We have to see how it ends up.
But the fact that he pulls this bill and listens to Musk, really listening to Trump, Musk, and really the masses that are outraged by this...
It makes me think there is something to this Article 2, Section 3 strategy.
The Article 2, Section 3, the recess appointments, where if Johnson in January calls for a recess, the Senate says no, then Trump has the constitutional authority to recess the whole thing.
Then he can make his appointments.
Now, Obviously they're going to freak out and go to the courts and everything else, but the bottom line is, I wonder if this isn't a foreshadowing of what is to come.
And I just think the strategy is more viable now that Musk has essentially demonstrated.
What it's like when you have the most powerful media platform on the planet and you utilize it against these lifers in Washington, D.C., these people that hate the American people.
Something to think about.
So, when the news broke that Elon Musk was against this, Elon Musk came out yesterday and he says, look, anybody that votes for this thing needs to get thrown out of office.
Now, I used to say stuff like that.
Plenty of talking heads on the radio, plenty of conservative media people used to say stuff like that.
But for whatever reason...
And sometimes it would work, depending on if you're doing something locally or this election or maybe whatever.
But when Musk said it, because he's got billions of dollars and he's already threatened to primary some other people, according to Fox News, this sent shockwaves across...
We're told right now in the past 30 or 40 minutes here that they might try to pull this interim spending bill off the floor and maybe just go with a clean bill.
Unclear what that means for disaster assistance.
Here's what happened.
A post on X by Elon Musk sent shockwaves through the Capitol.
Shockwaves.
Republicans were trying to see if they have enough votes to pass the spending bill in the next hour or two.
Musk posted that anyone who votes yes should lose their office in two years.
Wallmakers are scrambling.
Because the one thing they fear more than anything is to lose their power and authority.
Tweets from Musk, has that complicated this?
Well, I mean, I think that there's always a lot of...
Let's just analyze this real quick.
This was infuriating.
This is John Foon, the incoming Senate Majority Leader.
Again, about an hour and a half, two hours ago, McConnell gave his final address as the Majority Leader of the Senate, or the Minority Leader.
Did I say Majority Leader?
Well, he's been both, you know, whatever.
So, here is...
Here is Thune, and this is what these guys, this is what these fossils do.
They just state the obvious.
I think that there's always a lot of interest in what's happening up here.
All right.
I think that there's always a lot of interest in what's happening up here.
Okay.
All right.
Gee, you think?
All right.
Stating the obvious.
This is more than interest.
They're telling people if they vote yes, they should be voted out.
The social media world is a part of our politics.
The social media world is a part of our politics.
Wow.
That's crazy.
That's wild.
It's like, what are you, educating somebody who's been in a time capsule for 30 years?
You know, been cryogenically frozen and we don't know this?
I think members have to expect that.
Members have to expect that social media contributes to what goes on in Washington, D.C. There will be a lot of hard votes in the next couple of years.
There will be a lot of hard votes in the next couple of years.
I'm sorry, man.
These people are so irrelevant.
So absolutely irrelevant.
And they just don't know it yet.
And they're scrambling for it.
And again, they're going to try to claw back some power.
They're going to try to recover from this.
They're going to try to say, whatever they put, this is the clean continuing resolution.
And we're going to have to verify that it actually is.
It's probably going to be still a bunch of hot garbage.
National Files take, well, this was good.
We got rid of Nikki Haley, yes.
We got rid of Mike Pompeo, yes.
Chad Chronister, the DEA nominee who, you know, shut down churches during COVID, got rid of him.
And now Mike Johnson's and Biden's horrendous CR bill.
Think about this.
This is a good thing.
This is a good description tying this also to Biden, okay, because the Democrats want this.
They want to handcuff the president.
These are wins, no doubt, but we must remain focused if we are to cut through the noise so effectively going forward.
We have to remain focused.
That is exactly right.
Again, these people that are going to say, if things don't start going well, they're going to start saying, you've got to give them 100 days, 100 days, 100 days.
We do have to give them 100 days, but that doesn't mean that we can't criticize and put our nose to the grindstone in the midst of this to make sure that we don't have...
Mike Pompeo is the head of the CIA or whatever he was wanting to do, the Secretary of State.
Jeremy Carl, a friend of the program, we interviewed him several months ago.
He is the former research fellow at the Hoover Institute and U.S. Department Assistant Secretary of the Interior.
He says, anyone who doubts what a massive win this was for the riot just needs to look at the Dems crying on Twitter and talking about President Elon and a futile attempt to rile Trump.
Not going to work.
Everyone knows that nothing we are accomplishing today happens without President Trump.
Elon and X users teamed up to kill the bill because it was terrible and because we knew Trump would have our back.
That's exactly right.
Interesting take there from Jeremy Carl.
Before we go any further, I want to tell you about Cortez Wealth Management.
Go to cortezwm.com.
And find out what is an America First retirement plan, what is an America First investment plan.
Don't take your hard-earned money that you've saved, that you want to leave to your kids, and give it to the stock market in Black Rock.
And Vanguard are these companies that are influencing the control.
The fight is not over, and we just talked about at the beginning of the show a potential intentional stock market collapse, U.S. dollar collapse, because again, if it happens, it'll be planned.
The Intel oligarchs don't take kindly to losing, and they've lost so many times.
PSYOP after PSYOP has failed, and they may just crash the economy.
So I want you to just do yourself a favor and call Carlos Cortez and just ask about it.
It's free.
It's a free consultation, and just see what different investment vehicles he has to offer you.
There's nothing to lose by just making the phone call.
813-448-3446.
That's 813-448-3446.
Or visit CortezWM.com.
More on this.
The fallout continues.
Let's actually go, shall we?
Hang on one second.
Let's actually go to Jeremy Carl talking about the left melting down about all of this.
So I pulled up some of this stuff.
I thought this was pretty funny.
So, Musk clobbers the D.C. establishment, and the response was everyone started calling Elon Musk the President of the United States.
Well, first off, I'd like to say thank the Lord God that I am not in Congress anymore.
I know this game.
They always play this Christmas deadline stupid game.
But look, President Musk this morning made it clear with all his vast government experience, which is basically he became rich on the federal government, that he doesn't want Republicans to pass this.
And seemingly Vice President Trump...
So, President Musk, they start going with this narrative, okay?
We also have Dan Goldman.
Who, it's pointed out rightly in this ex-post by Paul Sapula, Dan Goldman, who's accused of rampant insider trading in Congress, now wants to give himself a 40% raise with a 1,500-plus page CR. To distract you from that, he calls Elon Musk President must.
Donald Trump is asking you to do him a big favor.
Would you please raise the debt ceiling for him right now so that he can give those tax cuts to Elon Musk and other billionaires next year?
Well, Lawrence, I think you have it just half a click off.
It's not Donald Trump asking for this.
It's very clearly President Elon Musk asking for it.
So this is their new talking point.
President Elon Musk.
Here we go again.
See, and they're hoping this is going to trigger Donald Trump.
Here's a photo of Musk with puppet strings controlling Trump.
Then we also have...
Democratic congressmen continue to melt down.
I don't know who's going to win this shutdown, but I know who loses, and that's the American people.
And we know who caused it.
We had a deal.
We negotiated a deal.
And then Musk decided to change the deal.
Do I call him President Musk?
I love the fact that these people are freaking out because an outside, some outside influence, an outside influence is actually being effective.
As if other outside influences have never penetrated the blockade of D.C. No, we've been able to govern ourselves and serve the people perfectly fine until Elon Musk comes along.
Eric Daughtry, Justin, Democratic strategist David Axelrod, who I, back when he had his mustache, and he was a little heavier, I used to call him the Mr. Belvedere of the Obama administration.
Democratic strategist David Axelrod issues a statement after Elon Musk ends the spending bill.
So will President-elect Musk join the budget negotiations now?
They think there's something.
These people, they think there's something.
Twitter account I'm not going to pronounce.
People are big mad that Elon Musk is an unelected person but has an effect on government.
Cry me a river.
Who elected all the lobbyists?
Who elected Gary Gensler, Jerome Powell, the judges?
Congress doesn't give an S about Trump.
The people.
It's just theater.
And so this is really good.
This is a good conversation to have.
Democrats are scraping the bottom of the barrel.
This joker just said two unelected billionaires are running their government.
One, Musk, and the other is Trump.
The only issue is Trump was elected.
Yeah, but here's the issue.
As if unelected billionaires aren't running our government right now.
By the way, here's the question.
Who actually is running our government right now?
Who specifically is running our government right now?
I'm talking about in the White House right now.
Who's in charge?
On paper, Joe Biden is in charge.
But no one in their right mind actually believes Joe Biden is handling the day-to-day responsibilities of governing this country because he's a geriatric patient.
He walks out the door every day to do an Alzheimer's shuffle.
He doesn't know where he is.
And people are wondering about...
So, my point is, he's clearly a puppet himself, and people don't have a problem with that.
Let's see.
Derek Evans, okay, running for Senate in West Virginia.
He posts about Congressman Maxwell Frost.
From Florida, who's upset over Elon Musk.
Quote, Just like that, Republican unelected co-president Elon Musk has killed the bill to keep the government from shutting down on Friday.
All he had to do was make a few social media posts.
These people are freaking out about it.
Isn't it wonderful?
Isn't it wonderful?
And that's why I thought this was a good reminder here.
Everyone complaining about the unelected billionaires, a tweet from Ludie McFreely.
Everyone complaining about unelected billionaires influencing policy needs to recognize Dinosaur Media is also unelected.
We were free until Elon Musk came along.
And I'm Ryan Wolf.
Our greatest responsibility is to serve our Treasure Valley communities.
The El Paso, Las Cruces communities.
Eastern Iowa communities.
Mid-Michigan communities.
We are extremely proud of the quality, balanced journalism that CBS 4 News produces.
But we are concerned about the trouble that's right.
So all of these local ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox affiliates saying the exact same thing.
We remember that.
Non-playable character progressives, NPC progressives now saying it's unacceptable for an elected U.S. billionaire like Musk to interfere in British politics.
Also NPC progressive, this is completely fine.
So there's talks that Musk is going to get involved in the U.K. politics, he's going to back Nigel Farage.
So again, this kind of goes with the general discussion.
People are totally fine with people sitting down with Bill Gates, letting Bill Gates set all these policies.
Letting Jeff Bezos set policies.
Letting Mark Zuckerberg set policies.
The hypocrisy is deep, right?
So now, again, Elon Musk is an unelected oligarch.
So it is now, we've been broadcasting for 31 minutes, and it took me 31 minutes, I think, to say the term oligarch.
So, those of you who...
Those of you who have claimed that any time I use the word gynocracy or oligarch would be a good drinking game, you'd be 31 minutes in.
You'd be pretty sober right now.
I'm just letting you know.
Elon Musk is an unelected oligarch.
That's what they're saying.
So he's president.
He's an unelected oligarch.
And here is...
But it's the ex-owner who says that if they ultimately go along with a bill like this, he is going to bankroll a primary against them.
It makes Elon Musk the center of the universe on Capitol Hill in a way.
The center of the universe.
That's my favorite one out of all of this.
They've made Elon Musk the center of The center of the universe.
Folks, we're going to be back in 60 seconds, but first we're going to hear from Mr. Mike Lindell.
Because of your overwhelming support, our 1488 MyPillow has been one of the biggest sales in MyPillow history.
I couldn't think of a better way to say thank you than to extend our wholesale pricing through Christmas.
Get a classic standard MyPillow for only $14.88.
Upgrade to a queen size, just $18.88.
King size, only a dollar more.
Get my body pillows for only $29.88.
And ready?
Multi-use MyPillows only $9.88.
It's perfect time to stock up for Christmas gifts for everyone on your list.
Go to MyPillow.com or call the number on your screen.
Use your promo code to take advantage of our wholesale pricing, including my classic standard MyPillows, only $14.88.
But that's not all.
I'm so confident you're going to love our classic MyPillows that I'm going to extend my 60-day money-back guarantee until March 1st, 2025. Plus, orders over $75 ship absolutely free.
So you want to make sure, ladies and gentlemen, that you use that promo code PH when you go to MyPillow.com.
Get the slippers.
I highly recommend the slippers.
The moccasins are good, too, but I like the slippers.
I'm just telling you, that's what I would do.
But make sure you use that promo code PH. Yeah, everyone, so for the time being, everybody is still saying, looks like Jeffrey says it's premature to negotiate debt ceiling as he advocates for original spending bill.
So yeah, I don't know if it's going to be an official shutdown or not.
I know Speaker Johnson has canceled his AmericaFest appearance that was supposed to be this weekend.
He was going to appear alongside Trump, alongside people like Tucker Carlson and others.
He's probably...
Some people said, you know, oh, he's canceling it because, you know, because he's, you know, stabbed Trump in the back.
I'm not necessarily on...
I think he's canceling because there's going to be government shutdown and they've got to stay in D.C. I think that's the...
But, look, you know, when...
Let's see, who said it?
Let me see here.
Mark Mitchell...
I think this is a sound take here.
Mark Mitchell from Rasmussen reports that the establishment yesterday stuck its head out of a trench and got it blasted off.
Hakeem Jeffries, House Republicans have been ordered to shut down the government.
Elon Musk reminding him, you think the American people are dumb?
They are not.
So yeah, in many instances, and I think I tweeted this at somebody, one of these Democrats last night.
These are all...
It was...
Little man in a bathrobe.
Robert Reich.
Okay.
He's a very small man, like, in stature.
That's an old...
Robert Reich...
Tweeting these scare tactics about, oh, they're going to gut Medicare, Social Security, and everything else.
I was like, man, what is this?
You think this is the 90s?
You think this is the 2000s?
These are 2000s talking points, like early 2000s talking points.
And I just don't think they're going to work anymore.
Because the media has been caught lying so many times.
Office of Management and Budget, according to National File, reporting that they have instructed their federal agencies to begin notifying employees about procedures for government shutdown.
Their whining and howling is just the beginning.
Do not relent.
Next up, do away with public sector unions.
America voted for change.
Congress is not listening.
This was all yesterday.
All this was going on.
All of these tweets.
Your elected representatives, Musk, said, have heard you and now the terrible bill is dead.
The voice of the people has triumphed.
That right there, I don't care what you say, that right there is like nails on a chalkboard to those in Washington, D.C. Those on the Potomac cannot stand anybody even claiming this, whether it's true or not, that the voice of the people has triumphed.
And then, of course, they're now saying that Elon Musk is allowing people to tell him and communicate with him, and it's all fake news.
Here is fresh off Ozempic, Brian Stelzer.
To Dan Crenshaw's point, Elon Musk is spreading fake news.
On this, he is fake news.
And he relies on people to reply to him and tell him what's up.
He says, you are the media now.
That's his message on X. And yet that really leaves a lot to be desired.
To Dan Crenshaw's point, you are the media now.
So they really hate this.
They hated the fact that people were looking into the bill.
They were looking at congressional raises.
Oh, it's just a cost of living raise.
It's just cost of living.
I guarantee you that it's much larger than the cost of living that they give people who are actually on Social Security.
They don't like this.
They want to be the arbiters.
I mean, how long until these jokers just go off the air altogether?
Honest question.
The Federalist.
The crumbled omnibus carcass is a mess of Speaker Johnson's own making by M.D. Kittle.
That's a good read.
If you have a few minutes, the scam stopgap measure included a pay hike for Congress and a provision allowing members to opt out of Obamacare.
This was a great thread by William Wolfe.
I had that highlighted earlier, but since the bill's been taken off, we really only needed 30-35%, I think he said, of Republicans to vote against the thing, and it wouldn't have passed.
There was a viable way if they would have brought it to a vote, but he couldn't bring it to a vote.
He knew he didn't have them.
And then Derek Evans, once again.
So we already played this for you.
This was yesterday morning.
Republicans cannot allow millions of Americans devastated by the historic hurricane season.
Struggling farmers.
And this is what he said.
He said this is the conservative thing to do.
But I do think it was gaslighting.
I think Derek Evans is right here.
Stop trying to gaslight us.
You can vote on disaster relief separately.
As a matter of fact, since the hurricanes you prioritize Ukraine over our own people...
Now you pretend to care about them.
Sit down.
That's exactly right.
All of this talk, holding out, that is one aspect we haven't talked about, how disgusting it is.
How absolutely disgusting it is that they are using the victims of Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, in Florida, in Georgia, in East Tennessee, using them as political pawns, political props.
To get funding through that's going to tie the hands of the Trump administration until March at least, but it's going to go more than that.
You know it will.
And at the same time, how many times has Johnson towed the line and funded the military, continued the Intel oligarch military industrial complex's aspirations in Ukraine, this proxy war against Russia because there's trillions of dollars of minerals and wealth in the Donbass?
Pathetic.
And we can't help our own people.
Pathetic.
Here's Dan Crenshaw getting absolutely ratioed.
Anonymous cowards like cat turd talking crap without any evidence.
I'm used to it, Dan Crenshaw says.
Congressman Crenshaw.
Sorry, I was the guy fighting the wars.
That little expletives like you.
We try to keep it a family show here.
But he, you know, basically says, you know, the synonym for a female dog.
Would never dare to.
One of us has actually served this country and continues to, while losers like you make money being trolls on social media.
He says, I live in...
I live right outside of Houston.
If you think I'm rich, you're an effing idiot.
The people getting rich off politics are the influencers like Cat Turd selling their platforms to the highest bidders.
Sorry to break it to y'all.
That's the truth.
So, Crenshaw has been called out for being...
Since Crenshaw has gotten in Congress, the reports say that he's gotten really good at trading stocks and enriching himself.
The problem with everything he said is this meme maker, known as Cat Turd, served in the Army and is a veteran.
Says he hasn't been anonymous for years.
There's literally a pic of himself on his profile page.
He does public events all the time, does a daily podcast.
Number three, your stock trades are public record, and you are also a millionaire.
You're not very good at this, are you?
The ratio just got worse and worse and worse.
But Dan Crenshaw, any time these guys who served in the military and then go into public office...
Are some of the worst politicians and legislators there are?
I hate to say it.
I wish it wasn't true, but I've met so many of them at local levels, all the way up.
Not all of them, but the ones who basically cash in their military service within every single public debate, anytime they're challenged.
They always bring up that they fought overseas.
And it's very ironic, you know, because if you believe the narrative, like if you take the narrative at face value, the Iraq War, Afghanistan, that sort of thing, you know, basically the post-9-11 never-ending wars.
If you believe the narrative, which I no longer do, that we had to go fight them over there so that they wouldn't come over here, right?
You know, Tiger Carlson essentially is...
We've blown that up to a mainstream level, considering how Israel has dictated all of our foreign policy in the Middle East, and it's the result of dead soldiers in the Middle East.
But if you believe the official narrative that people like Crenshaw went over there and fought, and they did it to keep us safe, they did it to protect our freedom, Just for the sake of argument, okay, that's what happened.
And then they come back over here, and they go into government, and they are actually working against the people.
That's pretty sick, right?
You go over to fight the enemy overseas, you come back over here, and then you work for the enemy, you work against the American people, So many of these guys, this is exactly what they do.
It's pathetic.
It's sad.
Really what it shows is that they're good at taking orders more than anything.
That ratio was pretty wild.
Wild stuff.
The clandestine pointing out that the continuing resolution that we're now told is dead had funding it to build 12 more regional biolabs and then Elon called them bioweapons labs.
We're funding bioweapons labs in this bill.
This was a report from Libs of TikTok.
New congressional resolution bill includes funding for at least 12 new biolabs.
And it was Musk that called it a bioweapon lab.
Don't you know they are seething over that?
And this is really on the heels of the reports that say that that Russian general was assassinated because he had the goods on U.S. bio labs in Ukraine.
They also are trying to protect the January 6th committee, not the patriots who are riding in gulags.
Donald Trump Jr. posting, so the House is going to vote to protect itself from glaring and obvious wrongdoing.
The American people didn't vote for this.
They voted for the opposite.
They voted for transparency.
This was from Benny Johnson saying that a new provision in the latest omnibus...
Let Congress block subpoenas for House data, including emails, potentially preventing any investigation into the J6 committee.
Now, the reason that this is relevant is because, as Ann Vanderstil tells us, that the House has now decided that they want an FBI investigation into Congresswoman Liz Cheney over the alleged J6 witness tampering.
That's because Liz Cheney coached a witness named Cassidy Hutchinson to change her J6 committee testimony.
Then, Cassidy Hutchinson, she lied about everything.
From saying Donald Trump said he didn't care if J6s were armed, to saying that Trump tried to grab the steering wheel of the beast, the limo, to saying that he lunged after a Secret Service agent.
Then Liz and Cassidy deleted all their communications, and this was textbook witness tampering, according to Ann VanderSteel of Steel News.
And the good part is...
Liz Cheney has denied none of this.
Guys, it's Liz Cheney.
She's a traitor.
She should be investigated and incarcerated like the thousands of patriots she falsely arrested.
Sauce for the goose.
And so that's another reason why this omnibus was, it seemed like it was trying to, again, tie the hands of a Trump administration that might, might even want to glance at trying to hold people accountable.
There's also stuff in there for more pandemic, you know, vaccine passports, mask mandates, all kinds of stuff.
All right, so here's this.
So Loomer posting this from what Trump posted on Truth.
I thought this was interesting.
To all the Senate Republicans, no deal with Democrats to fast-track nominations at the end of this Congress.
I won the biggest mandate in 129 years.
I will make the appointments of very qualified people in January when I'm sworn in.
So, I think all of this drama over the last 24 hours, it leads me to think that there is some validity to the strategy of the Article 2, Section 3 play where Trump can call a recess if Mike Johnson will ask for one.
Now, I know Mike Johnson's taking a lot of heat right now.
And, you know, it's very curious, you know, going around to the UFC events, hanging out with Trump and Musk, hanging out on the plane with RFK, eating McDonald's, hanging out at the Army-Navy game.
You know, it's all very curious that this would happen, that Johnson would just think that, well, we can just go on business as usual.
But then again, he does say on Fox News that he was in this text group between Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk talking about this bill.
Saying, yeah, I don't like it, but I'm going to do it anyway.
And then they said, well, nothing against you personally, Mr. Speaker.
Here goes.
And then they tanked the bill.
The outrage was so that they tanked the bill.
Will Speaker Johnson request a recess in January?
On January 21st, will he request a recess?
The Senate would say no.
The Senate may actually say yes, by the way.
If Mike Johnson requests a recess, the Senate may say yes.
And you know why?
Because if you go read Article 2, Section 3, it says that if a recess is requested and they can't agree, then Trump can recess them and also decide when they may come back.
It says that he can then set the date of their return.
I don't think John Thune's going to want President Trump to be able to say, yeah, we'll see you guys next January.
I don't think Thune is going to want that.
Something to think about, though.
Tom Hammond doing a good job.
Let's see, what else do we have?
So this was a big deal that RFK Jr. has now said that there are too many abortions.
He committed to putting Trump's old abortion policies back in if confirmed, which is a big deal.
It's a very big deal.
Here's a good article over at National File about Pennsylvanians wanting Biden's name off the Scranton Expressway after Biden pardoned the kids for cash.
Criminal that judge.
Disgusting judge.
We're going to get to that tomorrow as we're running out of time.
But let's see here.
A couple of things.
Let's start here.
In our continuing coverage of Christian heroes that go into capitals and decapitate satanic statues, like Michael Cassidy did in Iowa, and then Iowa canceled an event, a satanic event.
They just canceled it this year.
It was a year ago that Michael Cassidy went into that Iowa Statehouse and decapitated the statue.
He's a Christian.
He's a test pilot, Navy Reserve instructor pilot.
Since then, Iowa canceled another event that was supposed to take place.
New Hampshire put out a satanic statue that got decapitated.
And then Minnesota, they put out a display and they left it up for a while, but then the Minnesota state government has decided to remove the satanic display.
Dustin Grage reporting the satanic display has been removed from the Minnesota State Capitol grounds.
Never tell me public pressure doesn't work.
This is another victory.
Oh, well, this is not correct.
The display was removed temporarily after someone knocked it over.
It's now back up.
Okay, never mind.
Apparently it's back up again.
Well, this is what happens when I bookmark tweets.
Okay, so we don't have a victory in Minnesota, but we do have one in Iowa.
We have somebody knocking it over in New Hampshire.
I guess so they knocked it over in Minnesota.
I wonder who did it.
I wonder why we don't know who did it, right?
Yeah, when I first saw it, that's why I bookmarked it, because I was like, really?
Minnesota?
Tim Walls, Minnesota?
They voluntarily took it down?
They voluntarily said we're not going to worship Satan during Christmas?
Absolutely nuts.
And as we wind things down on the program today, I saw this this morning, and...
I had a slightly different take.
So Seamus is saying that my favorite part of this quote is that it came from a man who would go on to say that men can become women and compete in women's sports.
Now, this is, of course, referring to Neil deGrasse Tyson.
You guys see this.
This guy who's put out by the media.
We're told to believe that this guy is a physicist.
We're told to believe that he's incredibly smart and has a really good IQ and he just knows so much.
The truth is he knows so much that isn't true.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is quoted as saying, Religion tells people what they want to hear, not what they need to know.
Religion tells people what they want to hear, not what they need to know.
Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Now, this is not a true statement on many levels.
The number one reason Neil deGrasse Tyson is wrong is because he's not a Christian.
He's not a saved man.
He is, I'm assuming, a pagan.
Or an atheist.
He doesn't believe in God, doesn't believe in Jesus, and doesn't believe that he's accountable to God for his sins.
Doesn't believe that.
What even is a sin?
I'm sure that's what he would say.
Probably thinks morality comes from within the man himself.
But here's the real reason why And it really just shows his biblical illiteracy.
Here's the real reason why this quote makes absolutely no sense.
Because nobody...
If we just take the Christian religion, okay?
Nobody likes to be told they're wrong.
Nobody likes to be told they're sinners.
Nobody likes to be told that if you don't have Christ, that you will go to hell.
Nobody likes to be told that.
If religion, in this case the true religion of Christianity, was just made up by men because it's something that we wanted to hear, to make ourselves feel good, to tickle our own ears, why would we ever create out of thin air the God of the Bible?
Why would we ever out of thin air create the Gospel?
That requires men to be born again, or requires men to repent of what we want to do, which is sin.
That requires us to recognize that the human heart is wicked and deceitful.
Where, self-evidently in nature, those things are not, they don't come natural to us.
Those are things of weakness in the evolutionary game that he would promote with such fervor.
It's something to think about.
But that's the main reason why religion, specifically the Christian religion, I mean, other religions may tell people what they want to hear, that you can work your way to salvation.
You can do good works and that will give you salvation.
Not that Christians don't do good works because of a desire of a changed heart that God has changed, but this idea that, no, it's me.
I can save myself.
The fundamental flaw in this quote is, if it were true that we have just created a religion, mankind has created a religion because it's what we want to hear, We would never create the holy, righteous, triune God found in Scripture.
We would never create that because that's actually a much more difficult proposition.
Tell me what you think about that.
Tell me what you think about that, specifically concerning the fact that we are in the midst of celebrating the birth of Jesus 2,000 years ago.
That's all the time that I have for this edition of the Millstone Report.
Merry Christmas to everybody out there.
Tomorrow, I'll be right back here wishing you a Merry Christmas, wishing you a Happy Friday, assuming I'm not providentially hindered, and I don't plan to be.
Then again, who does?
That's all the time we have.
Thank you so much for watching.
God bless.
