The conservative review with Daniel Burns
0:09
and welcome back fellow American patriots
0:11
and Minutemen standing at the ready to
0:14
fight anew for our life liberty
0:16
Property everything that matters and
0:19
to see it through to the end. This
0:21
is the only source of conservative independent
0:25
news and views
0:27
Independent of the grift independent of
0:29
groupthink We
0:31
just called it as it is truth
0:33
and justice, but we don't just call it we actually
0:36
drive for outcomes and
0:38
As a follow-up of yesterday's
0:41
pretty fiery show if you haven't heard it's
0:43
worth your time I wanted to get more
0:45
into policy today, which we always
0:47
strive for but to seamlessly
0:50
tie in yesterday's show about where we
0:52
are and how the Trump versus DeSantis
0:54
thing is Reflective of something larger
0:57
that Reverberated
1:00
long before the two of them and will continue
1:02
past that if we don't change the
1:05
arc
1:06
of the trajectory grifting
1:08
versus governance
1:11
That is our choice. That is our choice
1:13
every day
1:15
Especially as God gives us this opportunity
1:18
with the overreach of the left
1:21
and a Reawakening of things being
1:23
wrong. We're exposing exposing.
1:26
This is happening. That's happening. But
1:28
now what are you gonna do?
1:30
Are you gonna grift off the exposure
1:32
of but the left? But
1:35
not have your own affirmative path
1:37
of truth to strive for and achieve
1:41
Or will you actually? neutralize
1:43
the threat
1:45
by implementing Structurally where
1:47
you can? identifying the problem
1:50
articulating it and where you have the
1:52
ability to As
1:55
much as you can make permanent
1:57
structural changes to life policy,
2:00
society, and culture
2:02
in a way that will actually save us
2:04
from all the things we say are going to
2:07
kill us and our children and our economy and our
2:09
society if we actually believe
2:11
in what we mean and what we say,
2:13
this
2:14
is what we do.
2:16
Deuteronomy 30,
2:18
19, this day I call upon the heaven and the
2:20
earth as witnesses.
2:23
I have set before you life and death,
2:25
the blessing and the curse.
2:27
You shall choose life so that you and your offspring
2:30
will live. It's that simple.
2:32
It's that simple.
2:34
We have the opportunity like never before to
2:38
govern. And I don't mean, see the
2:40
other side tries to make it like a nerdy term
2:43
like, oh yeah, you're not a fighter. You
2:45
just want to go. No, we're not talking about
2:47
the technocratic way. We're
2:49
talking about actually
2:53
using the power that you supposedly
2:55
have and the sphere of influence you
2:58
have where it should be a majority position
3:01
and make permanent changes
3:04
so that certainly we stop the
3:06
bad things and the illegals
3:08
and the crime and the green grift
3:10
and the biomedical security state and the training
3:12
stuff and all that,
3:14
but actually go a step further
3:16
and structurally preclude that
3:18
stuff from happening again. That we have a governance
3:21
model in accordance
3:23
with a biblical worldview
3:25
and liberty.
3:29
That's what we should have. That's that's what governing
3:31
is. So today we're going to go back and forth
3:33
and give examples of what we need
3:35
to be doing exactly at this juncture, tying
3:37
in some of the news today
3:40
to grifting,
3:42
which is simply the ricochet
3:45
of expose. The left's doing
3:47
this. Okay. There's
3:50
nothing wrong inherently
3:51
with exposing and complaining about
3:54
the left,
3:55
but here's where it is wrong. Where
3:58
it is wrong is when
3:59
you have no core
4:02
yourself, that
4:05
you will utilize that moment of
4:07
exposure of the left to drive towards
4:11
that will cause you to then
4:14
satiate your natural desires
4:17
for accomplishment off
4:19
of simple making
4:21
a living off of complaining
4:23
about the left, and
4:26
then therefore that becomes your
4:28
endgame. And therefore you
4:31
begin accepting things that
4:33
as you claim
4:35
to expose falseness
4:38
and injustice on the left, you yourself
4:40
will also promote
4:43
falseness and injustice albeit at
4:45
differing levels because
4:48
at least I'm exposing the left and I'm not the left.
4:52
That's what grift is. And
4:54
that's a slippery scale
4:57
of being just, oh we're
4:59
complaining about them without a plan. You know what this
5:01
reminds me of everyone who says that Trump
5:03
has
5:04
exposed the left. And
5:07
it's true in a sense, but
5:09
it's also true that
5:11
if you don't have a plan to deal with it, you're actually
5:13
worse off than you were even before.
5:16
It's like, let me give you an
5:18
analogy here. You have
5:20
a couple of bees that start getting
5:22
into your house. First it's one or two, then
5:24
it's three or four, like, man, what's going on here?
5:27
And it's bothering you, bothering
5:30
the kids. And then you finally go outside
5:32
and you find one place under the downspout
5:36
near the brick of the house
5:38
where they could kind of bore holes. You
5:40
find a massive
5:41
bee's nest and you uncover it. You
5:44
exposed it, you found it, you revealed
5:46
it.
5:47
Well, that's great.
5:49
But now
5:51
rather than three or four bees,
5:53
you have 500 very angry bees
5:56
coming right at you and you did
5:59
not put on.
8:00
Now, ask yourself a question.
8:03
Should anything have changed from these voters
8:05
that understood that DeSantis is so much
8:08
better at implementing everything
8:10
you want
8:12
before or after just because he is indicted? No.
8:15
But we have a base that has been
8:17
acculturated
8:18
by a leadership
8:22
that has no ideological core
8:25
and not just abstract principle, but also
8:28
practically what they want to achieve
8:30
and how and where they want to achieve it.
8:33
So they define everything by the victimhood
8:36
of, oh, but the left, but the left, right? Everything is the
8:38
grift. But
8:41
the left. So he's
8:43
the biggest, but the left. Now, obviously, ironically,
8:45
they're playing into the left.
8:48
See, a lot of people are like, well, Daniel, how do you know that
8:50
they're trying to get him the nomination? Maybe it's the
8:52
opposite that they're going after him so much because
8:54
they're really scared of him. They're
8:56
really scared of him. Well,
9:00
the proof is in the pudding.
9:03
If they if the left didn't know that it would cause
9:05
this the first time, certainly now that we're
9:07
on indictment number three,
9:09
they do know this, that it is dramatically
9:12
improving his standing. So if
9:14
they meant to knock him out of the race, if
9:17
that was their original motivation, they clearly wouldn't
9:19
have continued down this path. It is a lot
9:21
more likely that they know it will
9:23
endear him to the base and will get him
9:25
to win the nomination, which is exactly
9:27
what they want because we all know who
9:30
they are really scared of. And it's not just
9:32
who they're scared of, but a movement
9:34
that that win could possibly spawn,
9:36
which is one of effective ruthless
9:39
governance rather than distracting grift
9:42
while the left just keeps running up the score
9:44
on the actual field.
9:46
We're out there hanging out with the cheerleaders enjoying
9:48
the hot dogs at the concession stand,
9:51
but they're on the field and doing their thing. They
9:54
want to continue that. They don't want an
9:56
aggressive team on the field to counter them.
9:59
In the original, of outcomes they don't
10:01
want that
10:02
and that's why they're continuing. And
10:05
to be fair to Trump the more
10:07
I think about it
10:09
I don't think see until now
10:11
you might have gotten the impression and I maybe kind of said this
10:13
that
10:14
Trump is distracting our people he's he's
10:16
dumbing our people down he's getting
10:18
our people accepting of liberal ideas
10:20
like like Bruce Jenner and whatever and the
10:22
COVID shots
10:24
and we can never build a movement
10:26
until we get rid of him
10:28
to be fair I
10:30
think it's really more accurate that Trump
10:32
is a reflection of the
10:35
ideologically rudderless conservative
10:38
movement leadership
10:40
rather than a
10:41
causation.
10:44
I really think that
10:45
because honestly it was like that before too
10:48
it's not like I mean how do you have
10:50
for years after years
10:52
the left being able to pick our nominees?
10:55
Romney and McCain all these people and then up
10:57
and down the ballot senators governors red
10:59
states how do you have mask
11:02
mandates for months on end in deep red
11:04
counties within deep red states how
11:06
do you have the green grift to this day going on
11:08
and Kristi Noem doing her thing with the land grant
11:11
and all this other stuff how do you have that
11:13
it's because we're busy focusing
11:15
on but the Democrats
11:18
while in our own spheres of
11:20
influence with three to one five to
11:22
one super majorities we're
11:25
we're not only not doing affirmatively
11:27
positive things
11:29
but we're actually excelling in
11:31
the case of green energy I mean more in the red
11:33
states than the blue states
11:36
and this is continuing
11:37
so to be fair as I
11:40
said in 2016 when Trump came on this
11:42
all predated him I mean it puts more of a flare
11:44
on it I think he's more endearing obviously than
11:47
a George W Bush or whatever and
11:49
it will continue after him if
11:52
we don't change the course and
11:54
change our focus
11:58
only a group of people with
11:59
no ideological core can
12:02
be taken in by this. And it's like, we
12:05
keep like pulling our hair out. How are we
12:07
okay with the Bruce Jenner stuff? How
12:09
are we okay with what he said about the
12:12
heartbeat bill? With what they said about the Bud
12:14
Light boycott?
12:15
With what he said about Disney? With what he said about the vaccine?
12:18
How are we okay with that? How
12:21
are we okay with the First Step Act? We're okay
12:23
with it because we're okay with all the
12:25
liberal governance in every other state and
12:28
federally that we've been dealing with for
12:30
my entire life.
12:32
Because there is no ideological
12:35
core other than
12:37
look at the Democrats. That
12:39
is the central critique of
12:41
where we are. Why conservatives
12:43
don't have an ideological core, we could debate that, we could
12:45
talk about that.
12:47
But
12:49
a lot of that has to do with the fact that there's no free money,
12:51
so you need a meal ticket. And
12:53
so you'll never be able to be intrepid in
12:55
fighting for a cause, cause inevitably you're
12:57
gonna have to tether your views
12:59
to where you're getting your money from. There's
13:02
several other reasons as well. I believe
13:04
the left has their A-team in
13:06
the public sector. We have our smarter people
13:08
in the private sector.
13:10
And frankly, a lot of the people that get
13:12
involved in this business just have low IQ,
13:14
I'm sorry. I just don't know how to say it better.
13:17
Both the elected so-called conservatives
13:19
and then the shock jocks, they're just dumb
13:22
as hell.
13:23
So they don't even realize.
13:25
Again, they're dumber than John Federman because
13:27
John Federman never once scored
13:29
points for the opposing team. Our guys do
13:31
that every day. But
13:34
the biggest governance I wanna get to is
13:37
the budget bill and I wanna tie in the budget
13:41
to
13:42
the fact that this is much greater
13:44
than a presidential election. It's much more imminent
13:46
and urgent than waiting until January, 2025. And
13:50
it will tie in the Trump indictment as
13:52
well. First, we are sponsored very appropriately
13:54
as we talk about the budget and the debt,
13:57
birch gold. Look,
13:59
central banks.
13:59
are already divesting
14:02
from the bank, from the US
14:04
dollar as official currency,
14:06
they're moving on to digital currency. So
14:08
you're going to want a tangible asset. You
14:11
also have inflation.
14:12
The bottom line is, and I'm going to write about
14:14
this more, but we are in a trap
14:17
where the only way prices will ever
14:19
come down is a massive recession,
14:22
which there are signs
14:24
roughly quarter two of 2020, 24 is
14:27
when it will come. But
14:29
anyway, that's why I recommend Birch Gold.
14:31
If you text Daniel to 9, 8, 9, 8, 9, 8, they'll
14:34
send you a free info kit on gold.
14:37
And that is a way you could put your IRA,
14:39
your 401k into something of value
14:41
without funding the woke nonsense,
14:44
which is not even going to give you a good rate of return anymore.
14:46
With an A plus rating from the Better Business Bureau, thousands
14:49
of happy customers, countless five star reviews. Birch
14:51
Gold has been helping my listeners for
14:54
months now. And, you know,
14:56
I myself now have an account. So again,
14:58
text Daniel to 9, 8, 9, 8, 9, 8, claim your free info
15:01
kit because central bank
15:03
digital currency might become a reality.
15:06
It would sure be nice to have something tangible
15:08
to depend upon.
15:10
So
15:11
here's what governance looks like.
15:13
Governance looks like if
15:16
we had an entire movement of the top 50 voices,
15:19
writing a letter to Kevin McCarthy and
15:21
saying, Kevin,
15:23
here's the deal.
15:25
You have 12 appropriation bills
15:27
that fund every aspect of government.
15:29
It's not just a budget figure. We need to severely
15:31
cut spending.
15:33
But more than that, we need to address
15:35
every agency of every department, every
15:38
policy,
15:39
and not just to kind of do like a quick,
15:41
you know, hundred
15:42
amendment vote in the middle of the
15:44
midnight when no one's paying attention, but
15:46
to drag it out and do it out in the open
15:49
and message and change hearts and
15:51
minds
15:52
on the issues of our time. Educate
15:55
people on January 6th, educate
15:57
them on the weaponization of government.
15:59
Obviously the biomedical security state,
16:02
right? And what you would do is we
16:04
talked about we have the budget bills We have the
16:07
FAA authorization. We have the NDAA we
16:09
have pandemic and hazard
16:12
preparedness reauthorization we have the farm bill
16:15
Announce that
16:15
we are serious about governing and
16:18
we're gonna cancel the August recess or most
16:20
of it. Maybe give them off a week
16:23
but not six weeks or five
16:27
five to six weeks
16:28
cancel it
16:29
and every day have a policy
16:33
and communications plan and
16:35
You divide up your conference. I know you're gonna laugh
16:37
like but a man could dream. I
16:40
gotta lay in front of you
16:42
The good and the life as we face death and
16:44
evil.
16:45
I have laid before you good and bad So
16:47
I'm gonna lay before you this is
16:49
very achievable if we had a sane movement and party
16:53
and you divide up your conference between
16:56
different expertise different committees and
17:00
Each day you take up another appropriation bill
17:02
HHS. So we're gonna have our health care people
17:05
Every day bang away at the lack
17:07
of informed consent and the Joseph Mengele
17:09
stuff going on with the vaccines and promoting
17:11
them on pregnant Women and all this stuff boom
17:13
boom boom and now we're gonna defund it done
17:17
and you have obviously DOJ Procreation
17:20
bill boom boom boom boom boom go through
17:23
it go through it
17:24
Explain to people juxtapose
17:26
what they did to the j6 errs versus BLM
17:30
all the data We have all the narratives we have
17:32
go through it and with
17:34
that by the way Defund
17:37
the prosecution of Trump as well.
17:40
I mean, it doesn't help with the Alvin Bragg thing, but that's a
17:42
joke anyway
17:44
but the Florida
17:46
one and
17:47
The DC one with January 6 defund
17:49
it
17:50
Prohibit funding but also not just about
17:52
Trump.
17:53
It's gotta be about all of us About
17:56
the and by the way, I just want to make
17:58
make the point here for those are
17:59
why they're going after Trump
18:02
if they don't perceive him as a threat.
18:04
Again, they want him to win the primary, but it's also,
18:07
it's more dynamic than that too. They
18:09
want to, it's a message to all of us.
18:12
They want to criminalize our beliefs. So
18:14
they're taking, you know, whether you like it or not,
18:16
and I don't like it, but he is the biggest idol and
18:18
reflection of the right. So that's
18:21
what they're going to go after. You know,
18:24
they'll go after the next person too.
18:27
So you defund
18:29
that. And then you
18:31
come into September
18:34
and while Biden is in Delaware
18:36
doing his thing and the Senate Democrats are
18:39
out for six weeks, you're showing
18:41
that you are cutting spending every day. You message
18:44
about inflation. See
18:47
the debt used to be a joke. Everyone
18:49
would say the debt is too high, but no one cared because
18:51
it was just a number on paper. But now it's
18:53
on Covid change that we
18:56
spent $9 trillion.
18:59
No, no, sorry. We spent a lot more. We accrued 9
19:02
trillion in deficits since
19:05
Covid. That's insane. And 40
19:07
months, 9 trillion.
19:10
It took until like our founding until
19:12
I want
19:14
to say 2009 or so to
19:16
accrue that much.
19:19
And that's what we did in three years. 9 trillion.
19:23
The people feel that.
19:25
Do you know that last month in
19:27
June,
19:29
we are now at an annualized
19:31
rate.
19:32
If you look at the monthly just interest
19:35
on the debt, because
19:37
the interest rates now and the sheer size of
19:39
the debt, $900
19:40
billion,
19:44
meaning it surpassed the military. Government
19:48
spending grew by 15 percent last
19:51
month, 646
19:52
billion,
19:53
but revenues plummeted
19:56
down 9.8 percent.
20:00
Overall, $823 billion
20:03
in new debt was issued just in the month
20:05
of June,
20:06
about $1.1 trillion since the debt ceiling
20:08
was increased.
20:12
And
20:14
that's insane because officially unemployment
20:16
is very low.
20:18
Meaning that is the
20:21
most debt we've ever accrued in a month
20:23
in history, aside from April 2020,
20:26
which was the effect of
20:28
the CARES Act
20:31
and the COVID, you know, Fourth Reich stuff.
20:34
Aside from that, a random June
20:36
of this year when, you know, the
20:38
economy's not great, but it's
20:40
not a recession or a depression or a shutdown.
20:43
That is insane. It's
20:46
not hard to message this. So
20:50
what's happening is all that new debt,
20:53
that trillion dollars is all at 5.1, 5.2% servicing
20:59
rather than 1.5%, like it was, you know, one to two
21:01
years ago. And
21:04
all the, now you
21:07
have 32.5 trillion in debt that
21:09
the old debt is constantly going to mature,
21:12
but mature and be refinanced
21:14
now at
21:15
triple the rate.
21:19
And the rates are going to have to be
21:21
that high indefinitely,
21:23
unless there's a crash,
21:25
which will be even worse. So
21:28
interest on the debt itself. See
21:31
we used to warn about this, but no one cared. But now
21:35
it is the third most expensive
21:38
expenditure of all of government.
21:41
There's
21:42
HHS is the highest. That's because
21:44
Medicare and Medicaid, because healthcare is retarded
21:47
and no one wants to broach that.
21:50
And then number two is social security. And
21:53
then interest on debt is just below it. So
21:55
social security, we spent 131.
21:59
billion in the month of June. 131
22:03
billion.
22:05
Interest on the debt was 122.5, just below it.
22:09
Do
22:09
you know what the military was? DoD? 74 billion, 800
22:12
million. So
22:13
significantly,
22:20
almost like a third more than the military.
22:23
We spent on nothing more than
22:25
interest on debt. Did you know that every year we
22:27
have tax freedom day? It's usually like April, so
22:31
it takes from January 1st until April 18th
22:33
for the average person
22:35
to
22:36
pay off their tax liability and begin earning 100%
22:39
profit.
22:40
If you account for it that way.
22:43
So, you know,
22:45
a full more than a quarter of a year.
22:48
You're now working for
22:51
nothing more
22:53
than paying interest on the debt.
22:57
Put another way,
22:58
in the month of June, we
23:00
spent more money on interest on the debt
23:04
than commerce, education, energy, homeland
23:06
security, HUD, interior, justice,
23:09
labor, state, transportation, and veterans
23:11
affairs, which is very expensive.
23:13
And mind you, none of us think that those bureaucracies
23:15
are cheap.
23:18
It is utterly insane.
23:22
That is why we are
23:24
at a permanent, vicious trap
23:28
of high interest rate, high
23:31
debt,
23:32
high interest on the debt, reinforcing
23:35
each other,
23:36
then
23:37
insane inflation, because you have to print
23:39
the money to service it. So then you have the inflation.
23:44
And then the cost of living is so bad that
23:46
even though we're not in an official recession
23:48
yet,
23:50
but it's dampening tax revenues,
23:54
right? Because your margins are smaller. So
23:57
that's what's happening now. It's
23:59
a double.
23:59
whammy and the two get reinforced.
24:02
The more debt we have, the more the more
24:04
outlays the government's
24:06
gonna have and the less
24:08
revenue they're gonna have.
24:09
Nothing to do with taxes, with tax
24:12
policy.
24:13
The debt is actually now working
24:16
both sides. So relative to last
24:18
June, spending was up 15%,
24:21
revenue was down 9.8%.
24:23
And Biden will tell you the employment's grade
24:26
and this and that. This
24:29
is the message Kevin McCarthy needs. It
24:33
was just yesterday,
24:35
when I was writing columns, you
24:37
know, like all of us,
24:39
that Republicans lost the 2006 election
24:42
to Nancy Pelosi took over for the first time
24:44
in 12 years, they lost the House
24:47
because of the spending and Republicans
24:49
spent
24:50
worse than the Democrats.
24:53
That era that we said, you know,
24:56
the line that Republicans spend like drunken sailors
24:58
mainly came from that era. That
25:01
was when debt was 61% of GDP. Now it's 123%.
25:08
So we
25:09
are at a point where
25:11
it's a vicious, vicious cycle that they
25:14
can't get around.
25:17
18% of all our spending is
25:19
just interest on the debt. And
25:21
that number is obviously gonna grow exponentially
25:23
in the coming months and certainly years. McCarthy could
25:25
stain before
25:30
the people and say, directly
25:32
tie this to cost of living because
25:35
there was a long period of time in the
25:37
nine in the in the in the 2000s. It was just like, we knew
25:39
it would happen. But the
25:45
interest payments were low and inflation
25:47
was low. So people didn't care. They didn't care about it. Even
25:50
if they would say they care about in the
25:52
poll, but they didn't really care about it. Now it's a different
25:54
ballgame. And that's just the
25:56
spending.
25:58
But
26:00
then you message each of the policies
26:05
and then obviously getting
26:07
to Trump himself
26:09
the persecution the prosecution
26:12
Why is it that Trump has
26:15
never called upon Kevin McCarthy?
26:18
To defund the prosecution
26:21
in the
26:22
Justice appropriation bill it's called commerce
26:24
justice science So it funds the
26:27
Commerce Department just apartment and then like National
26:29
Science Foundation a couple other related loose
26:32
agencies
26:35
Maybe Nassau's thrown in there. I'm
26:37
not I'm not 100% sure but anyway, that's
26:39
a probe spill but beat as a may
26:43
So how come Trump never called upon how
26:45
come his all them? You know Maga
26:48
leaders all the people that spoke at toilet paper
26:50
USA. How come they never talk
26:52
about that? I mean, this is
26:54
the worst thing around we can't live But
26:57
their answer is vote for mr. Tomp. But
27:00
again putting aside whether mr. Tomp could win
27:03
But he won't be present till January 20 2025
27:08
Like that's not gonna help him. He'll
27:10
be in jail by then by a long shot.
27:12
I mean everyone agrees to that
27:15
so If that is
27:17
really a problem if this is really
27:19
about Justice and
27:21
truth and and and not just Trump but all of us
27:25
Why is everything just Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump
27:27
is an end to itself to make sure he gets the nomination and
27:30
not We better have a defund
27:33
fight, but let's do it in an articulate fashion
27:35
And I think canceling the August recess
27:37
and having a whole you know, every day you have
27:39
a press conference on another point of it How
27:43
come no, they're not calling for that. The answer
27:45
is because one is governance and one
27:47
is grift To just say see
27:50
they don't care because they know I don't
27:52
think they fear Trump ultimately losing his
27:54
life He might be under
27:57
house arrest at Mar-a-Lago, but he'll enjoy his
27:59
life Unlike his supporters who will
28:01
rot in jail. But
28:04
it's all about the grift. Their
28:07
future is tethered to him and they can't be
28:09
viewed as alienating him. You
28:12
see Tucker's new
28:14
network, it's going to be partnering with Don Junior's
28:16
company.
28:17
I mean, everyone sees that
28:20
a switch was flipped with him and he just. Just
28:24
totally, totally went nuts. And
28:26
by the way, I just want to point out. And
28:29
I know I'm all over the place
28:31
today, but we'll, we'll get through this. We'll
28:33
finish the point. Tucker
28:35
is the one who goaded Trump
28:38
into more draconian lockdowns. You know that Tucker complained
28:40
that Trump wasn't taking COVID seriously enough.
28:46
And,
28:49
and look, I, I
28:50
felt it was serious, but in a very different way. I was like, it's a bio weapon
28:52
and you need treatment for it. But this stuff is stupid.
28:55
Tucker did it
28:57
in a low IQ way and just gave into the Democrat
28:59
fear. I mean, he's
29:00
this big hero on COVID, but I'm just going to tell you, he
29:02
did not arrive to our position. And I
29:05
don't just mean like a month or two later is way
29:07
later. He,
29:09
he, he slowly, it was gradual. I mean,
29:12
he slowly dipped his toe in, but, but he, someone, one
29:15
could argue that he is the
29:17
single most influential
29:19
force. That, that got Trump
29:22
like all in on it.
29:23
One could argue that somehow that seems to have gotten
29:26
pigeonholed
29:27
and we're
29:30
supposed to forget that that is a big deal
29:33
and no one has a good answer for that. But
29:36
he's God. I'm a nobody, you know, he, he has done so
29:38
much for us. I
29:40
mean, we
29:41
couldn't live
29:42
without MIT, the talker, it's a twomp and MIT, the talker. Okay.
29:46
But anyway, why isn't Tucker calling
29:48
for that?
29:50
Can you imagine the pressure? If Tucker
29:52
would have just said what I said, cancel the August
29:54
recess, make a massive.
29:59
defund fight
30:00
and I just want to explain
30:03
why I mean cancel the August recess. Let
30:05
me just
30:05
kind of explain what I mean by governance.
30:08
To be fair right now, Republicans
30:12
legitimately are passing relatively
30:16
decent appropriation bills out of the Appropriations
30:18
Committee.
30:21
Some of them even do have spending levels
30:24
below the debt ceiling deal, and they
30:26
do have not all but a number
30:28
of the provisions that you and I would want. Now
30:31
notably they're not going to defund Ukraine,
30:33
they're not going to defund the vaccines, they'll defund
30:36
the mandates which they're doing.
30:39
But you know there are good provisions like for example
30:41
in the State Department Appropriations
30:44
Bill, it's called State and Foreign Operations, they
30:46
do legitimately defund
30:49
the WHO. But
30:52
here's the problem. There's several issues.
30:54
Number one, we could do what we could do and need to
30:56
do a lot better. I mean the spending
30:58
cuts need to be much deeper
31:00
and the policies need to be better.
31:02
Number two, there's no
31:04
confidence they're going to stand behind them
31:07
because what they're doing is they're just quickly
31:09
just getting it off because they have so few days left
31:12
before not just August recess, but
31:14
even October 1st given all the time
31:16
they have off. So they're not messaging
31:19
it properly. It's like even good amendments
31:21
that get passed, part of it is to message
31:23
it because a government shutdown
31:25
brinkmanship is a PR war. They're
31:28
doing it very quickly. Then also
31:31
they have a lot of problems
31:33
because the conservatives want one thing, the rhinos want another
31:36
thing. So like they're starting
31:38
off, they're bringing to the floor this week, transportation
31:41
HUD and Milcon, military
31:44
construction. And those are viewed as
31:46
less controversial within the conference, they'll get
31:48
passed. But a lot of them, they're going to be at loggerheads.
31:51
They need to work this out and do
31:54
it in a way. You got to take off
31:56
the August recess. That's my opinion. If
31:58
you are very serious about doing this, right. Otherwise,
32:01
it's not gonna get fully done. And
32:05
by the way, let me just give you an example of
32:07
some of the problems. So some of the bills are good, some
32:09
of them are bad. So transportation HUD, the
32:12
transportation part of it
32:14
is actually pretty
32:16
good.
32:17
Pretty deep cuts and they defund some of the global
32:19
warming stuff with infrastructure, transportation.
32:22
I haven't gone through all of it, but
32:24
the HUD part is terrible. What
32:26
they're using is these recisions, they're
32:29
rescinding money that hasn't been spent in
32:31
order to plus up what should
32:34
be cuts to certain departments, but
32:37
then they take away the cuts. So HUD
32:40
basically has the same record
32:42
high spending. Their
32:44
draft would provide $68.2 billion
32:46
to HUD,
32:50
essentially preserving the record high baseline
32:53
for a department that should never exist.
32:58
I want you to understand where we are.
33:00
HUD
33:01
spending was as low as $38 billion,
33:04
almost a half,
33:06
in FY 2017, Obama's
33:08
final year. Remember like Obama with
33:10
Freddie and Fannie and where that was like a big
33:12
part of his admin, like the crazy HUD
33:14
spending? Even
33:16
adjusted for inflation, that's $49 billion. Okay,
33:23
that's insane
33:24
that Republicans are okay with that level
33:26
of spending. Record $31
33:29
billion on Section 8.
33:32
Six percent increase from last
33:34
year's spending.
33:37
Section 8 is a tool for social transformation,
33:39
increased crime, reducing property values, promotion
33:42
of implementing the left wing's gerrymandering of the suburbs.
33:46
And also, it's just literally a get out the vote
33:48
effort. A lot of the private
33:51
vendors that get HUD funding literally
33:56
fund Democrat victories in
33:59
two ways. Number one, one they they strategically
34:01
get Democrat
34:04
constituencies into swing
34:06
counties all through
34:08
HUD funding he's
34:10
like unidos USA is one of those
34:12
organizations
34:14
and then
34:16
just
34:19
in general those
34:21
organizations get a bunch of free cash
34:23
that they use for get out the vote efforts so
34:27
these are the type of things that need to be sorted out this
34:29
is what governance looks like
34:32
I promise you this
34:33
is the only show you
34:36
will hear this degree of presentation I
34:38
diagnosed the problem of debt
34:41
and the economy and inflation gave the
34:43
messaging of how they should give it over the
34:45
strategy and leverage point for them to implement
34:47
it and then stand behind
34:49
it my concern is if they just kind of
34:52
do one-off like oh yeah quickly do
34:54
it they're gonna cave but
34:56
if they got together as a conference
35:00
fully controlled the narrative throughout the August
35:02
recess and said we are
35:05
doing our work we are passing all 12
35:07
bills we're having an open amendment process
35:09
we're going through each area of
35:11
government and going through the problems and
35:13
we are funding a budget reflects
35:15
your values we're gonna fund the values
35:18
of the American people we're gonna defund
35:20
the things that that are responsible
35:23
for woke and weaponization
35:25
things that are responsible for you
35:28
know pornography and taking parents out of
35:30
their school decisions like for the Department of Education
35:32
we're gonna defund the border invasion we're gonna defund
35:35
Pfizer we're gonna defund all
35:37
of this insanity that is
35:40
causing you to not be able to afford
35:42
any any items that
35:44
you need for food and fuel
35:46
all of this your Republicans aren't
35:48
even making the case that
35:51
we are now happy with a permanent
35:53
baseline of three dollars and sixty
35:56
cents gas when it
35:58
was 240 when Biden took office
37:38
never
38:00
make it stick. What DeSantis is
38:02
doing in Florida
38:04
is not just that he's doing a bunch of good things.
38:08
He's doing a bunch of good things in
38:10
a way that structurally and
38:12
culturally and legally, mechanically,
38:16
public policy-wise, denudes
38:18
the left of their mother's
38:21
milk. A
38:23
friend of mine told me that the governor told him
38:25
this when he took office, I'm going
38:27
to identify there's three sources
38:29
of power they have through education, labor,
38:34
that the Democrats feast off of, and I want
38:36
to permanently nuke it. So
38:39
that to make it as permanent as you can.
38:41
I see
38:43
the Trump people making fun out of him that he's boring,
38:47
a nerd. You know, in a certain
38:50
way, depending on the connotation of nerd,
38:52
they're not wrong. He
38:55
doesn't wake up and look in the mirror and promote himself
38:57
every day. He thinks, what
38:59
could I do to systemically
39:02
and permanently change things? Now, I think
39:04
it's kind of limited what
39:08
you can do as president. But imagine
39:10
if you had that as the paradigm,
39:12
governance rather than grift.
39:14
So down the ballot, we would stop accepting
39:16
in states where we don't have to worry about the media and the Democrats. We'd
39:19
stop accepting all this nonsense. And
39:21
let me give you a great
39:24
example
39:26
of what I mean when I say
39:28
this is
39:29
about this,
39:30
this was going on long before Trump, and it's
39:32
going to continue beyond him, but he's a reflection of
39:34
it. Unless we change
39:37
the
39:37
game.
39:39
This is a article from Politico,
39:42
a red state boosted public health
39:44
funding by 1500%. 1500%. This
39:48
is how he did it. It's referring to Indiana
39:50
and Governor honeycomb, that
39:52
dirtbag, disgusting biomedical
39:54
fascist, just literally a Democrat. Holcomb
39:58
pushed a 1500% 100% increase in
40:01
state dollars to local health education Sorry
40:04
local health departments through the GOP controlled
40:07
legislature
40:09
By the way, they control the legislature one branch three
40:11
to one the other one four to one
40:14
It also marks a notable deviation from the
40:16
approach the Republican Party
40:18
has taken to public health and
40:21
Basically, he talks about how they're gonna sit
40:23
and promote the biomedical security state
40:25
How Indiana will be every
40:28
bit as bad as freakin, California
40:31
With four to one majorities
40:33
in the Senate in a trifecta How
40:36
does that happen it happens because
40:38
we don't have Tucker and everyone
40:40
on down focused on people like
40:42
that and calling him out every day and
40:45
Building and spending your money on
40:48
on on ground game Legislative
40:50
Strike Force teams to focus on this.
40:53
That's how you have it
40:55
You see what I mean? This
40:57
is what happens when you have
40:59
but the Democrats all day Ironically,
41:02
you get
41:02
the Democrats in all of your territory
41:06
Your states still have
41:08
that
41:09
that's what needs to change
41:11
That's what I resent Theoretically
41:15
it shouldn't matter who you support for president
41:18
because we should all be able to get together and say This
41:21
is the strategy at the federal level. I just laid it out All
41:24
of these red state legislative sessions we should be
41:27
preparing for instead everyone's be focused
41:29
Obviously you can imagine January is the beginning
41:31
of the primaries.
41:32
So no one's gonna be focused on the legislative sessions
41:35
But
41:35
that is so so so important And
41:39
let me let me punctuate that
41:42
with a point about Tucker Tucker
41:46
so Tucker was at toilet paper as well
41:48
and
41:51
I'm trying to dig up this quote here
41:54
So Tucker
41:58
Was saying
42:00
that there's
42:04
a reason why they fear Trump more than anyone
42:06
and it's because of Ukraine and that's
42:08
why they're going after him. Here's what he
42:10
had to say at the toilet paper conference.
42:13
Take a listen. Disgusting. And
42:16
that
42:16
is exactly what in the name
42:19
of American leadership this
42:21
administration with the full participation
42:23
of the Republican Party is foisting on the world
42:26
and it's insane. Yeah,
42:30
well I have to say, you know,
42:33
whatever
42:33
you think of Trump is pretty clear on this and
42:36
they hate him for it, actually. They hate him
42:38
for it. And if I can just say, the foreign...
42:41
So folks,
42:42
here's the deal.
42:44
It's absolutely not true. And
42:47
here's the proof. The
42:50
Republican Party has
42:52
not changed under him. Eric,
42:57
ironically, DeSantis is the one who's
42:59
standing out. He is the exception.
43:01
Eric Holcomb in Indiana is the rule.
43:04
I mean, he's particularly obnoxious,
43:07
but most governors are more like that
43:09
than they are like DeSantis. That's
43:12
what they're doing.
43:13
Even Kim Reynolds.
43:15
For the best I can see, she
43:17
has not taken the Department of Health
43:20
and turned it into what Joseph Lattipoe, Dr.
43:22
Lattipoe, did. You
43:24
know, it's just not. No
43:27
other state has done it, but Eric Holcomb is an animal.
43:30
The reason is because Trump
43:33
signals and is a reflection, both
43:35
cause and effect and reflection, and
43:38
he signals to the movement, this
43:40
is what you focus on. But the Democrats, MAGA,
43:43
DEMOCRAT,
43:44
OH A TELEBOGA MEDIA.
43:48
And meanwhile,
43:49
so you're sitting and, you know, smooching
43:51
with the cheerleaders. You're sitting at the, on
43:54
the sidelines, you know, having fistfights
43:56
in the crowd, like having some of these, these football games.
44:00
And there's one team on the policy field,
44:03
on the governance field. There's
44:05
one team. It's the Democrats
44:08
and the Republicans, which is the same team.
44:11
So you could talk about, Trump could say
44:13
all the comments he wants about Ukraine
44:16
engagement is stupid, they'll still do it.
44:18
Because he structurally has not put
44:20
into place any movement to
44:23
change it even within the Republican Party, much
44:25
less defeat the Democrats on it. And
44:27
ditto for every other issue.
44:31
And that's even before we get to the fact that
44:33
Trump preemptively endorsed 95%
44:36
of these incumbents,
44:38
so that we couldn't even hope
44:41
to dislodge them. So before
44:43
Trump, there was a 10% chance you could beat them. Now,
44:47
what Trump's endorsement against you is a 0% chance. That
44:53
Indiana's story is so important. It
44:56
doesn't have to be that way. Folks,
45:00
like I say, if we
45:02
merely, you
45:04
know, let's say we were like, oh my gosh,
45:07
worst case scenario, there's too many brainwashed
45:09
people, the media is too strong, the Democrats
45:12
are too strong, their ballot harvesting and ballot
45:14
cheating operation is too strong. So we can't
45:16
win Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, maybe even,
45:19
you know, Arizona and Nevada.
45:23
But there are still about 25 states
45:26
and very much 2022 states
45:30
where if we just merely
45:32
focused our money, effort,
45:35
time, communications pressure
45:38
on our own sphere of influence, you
45:40
could extirpate illegal immigration,
45:43
crime,
45:44
traniism, green energy, grift,
45:47
biomedical security, and
45:49
even somewhat begin interposition
45:52
against weaponized federal government and protecting
45:54
liberties at a red state level.
45:57
It is so achievable, even...
45:59
without changing hearts and minds, without
46:03
having to win, you know, the 50-yard line states
46:06
in a national election. And
46:10
yet we don't do it. Because
46:13
there is no ideological
46:15
core to a shred
46:19
of the so-called conservative movement. There
46:21
just isn't.
46:23
I'm sorry to say it,
46:24
but there isn't.
46:27
And then they're always a day late and a dollar
46:29
short. Notice how every
46:31
time the issue matters and the way it matters. Notice
46:34
those of you who followed me from day one, how early
46:36
on I was on to exactly what was going
46:38
on with illegal immigration and even legal immigration.
46:41
The fentanyl stuff. Crime.
46:43
I was literally the only one saying, you're going to reverse
46:46
the crime, you're going to have a crime wave. Everyone's like, nah,
46:48
crime is record low, we need criminal justice to form.
46:53
Even being me and then watching my colleagues
46:56
somehow hijack those issues when
46:58
it's too late just to superficially
47:00
promote themselves and
47:03
Trump and jujitsu it into
47:05
a black hole.
47:08
And that's what it is. It all becomes about, see,
47:10
when you don't have,
47:12
when you're not busy with an ideological core,
47:15
you could latch on to anything and you will
47:17
latch on to anything.
47:19
To me, I'm so busy every day, I don't have
47:21
the time to even scrape the surface of all the
47:23
projects, the issues, the
47:26
strategies, the ideas, state
47:29
and federal, pick kind of our
47:31
top 10 issues that affect liberty,
47:33
economy, security, culture. And
47:40
we're just trying to produce substance and not
47:42
just abstract egghead, white
47:45
paper substance, but substance that's going
47:47
to drive a specific outcome.
47:52
So
47:53
I'm not going to be taken in by this or
47:55
that or this or drift into
47:57
this is cool, but that's what my colleagues.
48:00
And that's how a guy like Vivek could
48:02
just be like Take them all
48:04
the right articles on him. I
48:06
saw something yesterday something like Vivek
48:09
said, you know
48:09
Kamala
48:12
Harris has an un-American agenda like
48:14
wow, that's profound. I mean no one's ever said
48:16
that
48:18
Vivek reminds me of the
48:21
King and the Duke and Huckleberry thin if
48:23
you get the reference there Just
48:25
kind of like this like fraudulent
48:28
preacher just comes out of nowhere And now finally people
48:30
are digging up like even last year
48:32
his tweets. I mean he was against
48:35
Trump He was called to disgrace
48:37
what he did on January 6th. See biomedical
48:40
security for sure. That's his bread and butter Biomedical
48:43
fascism it complete fraud
48:46
But he's the perfect comedic relief for
48:49
conservative media You
48:51
see here's what Mike here's the predictive
48:53
predicament. My colleagues have Let
48:56
me let me explain to you where they're at They
48:59
need to tow the line with Trump. They cannot
49:02
afford to
49:03
cross him in any way
49:04
But but they do have this depending on
49:06
who they are a little bit of a tinge of guilt That
49:09
they have to show a little bit of substance, you
49:12
know They have to kind of recognize some sort of you know
49:15
Shortcoming in Trump like, you know, you just complained
49:17
about the vaccines, but he just pimped it But
49:19
they don't want to say Trump is being horrible
49:22
on vaccines So what they
49:24
use is for comedic relief
49:27
They hang their hat on RFK
49:29
and
49:30
VVEC Because that
49:32
doesn't threaten Trump in any way VV you know RFK
49:35
is in a different primary and VVEC Officially
49:37
isn't a primary but it's it but not only is
49:40
he not a threat to Trump, but he's indispensable in
49:43
Being used as a false flag against the
49:45
Santas and to suck out the oxygen
49:48
in the room So that's that's what
49:50
they're doing. I'm telling you notice it
49:52
watch the alacrity to which
49:54
they'll find any moment
49:58
To gobble up
50:01
Anything they say I mean you look a
50:03
lot of people have pointed out to DeSantis
50:05
has said a lot of he broke a lot
50:08
of news in that
50:09
Town Hall, I forget what city was in South
50:12
Carolina yesterday and today he's in introducing
50:14
his plan on the military I had a reform
50:16
the military. I haven't seen it yet, but we'll
50:19
talk about that. Maybe maybe tomorrow. I
50:22
Mean look even at my own outlet. I don't know
50:24
how many articles have been written on DeSantis Maybe zero
50:27
unless it came from me on this
50:29
stuff. I mean there might have been a few but it's
50:31
like Nothing. He says
50:34
matters
50:35
Nothing. He says but
50:37
Vevic could be like
50:38
Kamala Harris is un-american. Oh, I've
50:41
been I don't know what we do without
50:43
that Utterly
50:46
pathetic and then and then again
50:49
what happens when you don't focus on governance,
50:51
but it's grift You create a
50:53
movement built off of that so you
50:55
either have
50:57
What's happening now is either you have? The
51:01
same old McConnell people which is actually
51:04
most of them or if they're not
51:06
and you beat the McConnell people you're gonna beat them
51:08
with a guy like JD Vance
51:10
and JD Vance
51:13
what he's doing is He
51:15
says some things we all agree with like the anti
51:18
interventionism stuff and the neocon
51:20
stuff
51:23
And part of the part of the reason is because that's easy
51:26
Because the military industrial complex yes,
51:28
it does show up on the campaign trail, but it's
51:30
mainly an inside game their
51:33
power Whereas a lot
51:35
of the domestic policies that
51:38
those industries really influence so that's harder
51:41
to fight So he's righteous
51:43
on that but he's just pure populist
51:45
not free market populist not conservative
51:47
populist But populism is ends to itself.
51:49
It's like it's and whatever this is a
51:51
whole nother discussion this whole like big
51:54
government Thing where you come
51:56
full circle, and you know we
51:58
all recognize there are certain things wrong with the
52:00
kind of you know DC conservatism but
52:03
then they kind of go full circle and they throw out the baby
52:05
with the bathwater and They just sound like a bunch of
52:07
big government losers. So that's kind
52:09
of his shtick so anyway
52:11
JD started attacking DeSantis and he
52:14
basically says and There's
52:16
no self-awareness. It's the same thing of the people
52:18
that go and say, you know I'm
52:21
sick of these people that are cowardly to
52:23
meet with Tucker I'm
52:26
supporting Trump and they'll say it with a straight
52:28
face. So it's the same thing is like,
52:30
you know
52:31
To say this is social media influencers
52:33
are terrible. They're insufferable and that's
52:35
why I can't support it
52:37
So I'm thinking like okay. I
52:41
Don't know who his influencers are they're
52:44
not paid for sure and They
52:47
have nothing that you can't control the messaging
52:50
that every last person who supports you To
52:53
every Tom, Dick and Harry with like, you know
52:55
modest ten twenty thousand followers. I'm
52:57
talking about a million followers says But
53:00
yeah I mean I would say some people support him aren't on
53:03
my message like they'll kind of hit Trump
53:05
a little bit too much from The left not only
53:07
from the right like
53:08
you something will pick up on things. They shouldn't
53:11
pick up on
53:12
but I'm like JD name
53:15
me the Laura loomer equivalent
53:18
of DeSantis. Who is that guy? It's
53:21
all policy contrast yesterday
53:23
when someone asked you know DeSantis
53:26
about Trump that famous video everyone seeing from that
53:29
town hall that where she said my heart's with him
53:31
But I know that you're really the way to move on and
53:33
he said look I really give Trump a lot of credit for
53:35
things but moving forward really, you know,
53:37
we gotta we you know We gotta implement
53:39
things. He always is
53:42
very respectful
53:44
It's not just
53:45
bearing false witness. It is a Man
53:48
I almost said the f-word there. It is
53:50
a freaking blood libel.
53:53
It is a blood libel. I
53:56
Mean he cannot be more respectful
53:59
keeping it to contrast on policy,
54:02
Trump has called him the worst
54:05
things. And you're saying the
54:07
reason you're driven away from DeSantis
54:10
is because of the tone?
54:12
Are you blanking kidding me,
54:14
JD?
54:17
This is the vapid nature
54:19
of these SOBs. This is what we're
54:21
going to breed more of
54:23
if we don't change the arc.
54:27
I'm sick of it. And
54:30
again, you're going to have a lot of log cabin stuff
54:32
going on. A
54:35
lot of log cabin Republican stuff.
54:37
The traniism, I promise you,
54:40
it is going to be more accepted
54:42
among that movement.
54:44
Who is the paradigm
54:47
Trump candidate? So
54:49
again, to be clear, 90% of
54:51
Republicans, especially if you get
54:53
towards the statewide positions like US
54:55
Senate and governor are McConnell
54:58
Republicans. And Trump endorsed
55:00
most of them. But even the few that
55:02
rise to the point where they defeat
55:05
the McConnell one, they're not our
55:07
type of people.
55:09
And who would be the person, Carrie Lake?
55:12
And I will tell you, I'm not putting words. She
55:14
said we need to move away from the culture
55:17
war. Meaning as if we're the ones
55:19
creating the culture war rather than the left and
55:21
we're just staunching the bleeding. And
55:26
then when you look at her donors and top
55:28
staffers being part of the log cabin
55:30
Republicans, one of whom literally room
55:34
was a roommate of Bruce Jenner.
55:37
That is very disturbing. But that's what happens
55:40
when all you're doing is
55:42
I'm jousting with the media.
55:44
The media sucks.
55:46
Okay.
55:48
But you could still hold the position.
55:50
The media sucks. But if you don't have an
55:52
affirmatively righteous position, you
55:54
could say the media sucks and we should stop
55:57
the grooming. But then you'll be fine
55:59
with.
55:59
Bruce Gender because Bruce Gender also
56:02
says the media sucks and supports
56:04
Mita Tomp. And
56:09
that's just where it is folks.
56:12
It's funny, I didn't even get to a fraction of the issues I wanted
56:14
to,
56:15
but governance
56:17
versus grift.
56:19
Affirmative, positive
56:21
beliefs with a commitment
56:24
and a plan to implement them
56:27
or commentating about the left
56:30
and belly aching as an end
56:32
to itself because it's very
56:35
profitable. And
56:38
therefore that's going to tether you to
56:41
the person, movement, or idea
56:44
that becomes your meal ticket. And
56:47
therefore you will be willing to
56:49
accept and even promote things
56:51
that are antithetical to what you say you support.
56:56
And folks, that's just
56:59
not who we are. That's
57:01
not how we roll.
57:03
You come in a circle that is literally
57:06
at its most basic allegory
57:10
third grade understanding
57:12
of animal farm.
57:14
That's Orwellian. You
57:16
come in a circle and you
57:18
wind up supporting the
57:20
very things you said you support. I don't
57:22
just mean the tactics like, oh,
57:25
we don't want to be as evil as it. No, I mean
57:27
literally the policies, like not
57:29
like, oh, the left is vicious, so we're going to be
57:31
vicious. You know, I'm not opposed to that, you know,
57:34
when it's done correctly. What I
57:36
don't like is some of this just nastiness is an end
57:38
to itself. Like again,
57:40
people think like there's there's certain,
57:42
this is also part of grift versus governance.
57:45
People think that if
57:49
you're not like, what's that guy's name?
57:51
Andrew Tate. If you're not like
57:55
being crude with women,
57:58
then you're like a David French.
57:59
or Mike Pence. That's the false
58:02
dichotomy that we're being, you
58:05
know,
58:06
promote that we're being entreated
58:08
to.
58:10
And that's why they look at a guy
58:11
like
