Politics without the soap opera
0:02
with unfiltered constitutional conservative
0:05
truth. The conservative
0:07
review with Danny Burns. And
0:10
welcome back fellow American patriots
0:12
and ministers standing at the ready to
0:14
fight anew for our life liberty
0:16
and property standing at
0:18
the ready to hear the truth, the whole truth,
0:20
and nothing but the truth. If
0:23
this is what you're striving for, well, this
0:25
is your one stop shop of only
0:28
independent, truly independent, conservative
0:31
talk. Daniel Horowitz back here, the
0:33
New Year January fourth.
0:35
It's Wednesday. I don't even know what time it is.
0:37
I worked, like, almost around the clock yesterday
0:41
to say so much is going on is an understatement.
0:44
But now is the time that you need independent.
0:48
Someone with fifteen
0:51
years of experience challenging the system
0:53
on every front, senate primaries, house
0:55
primaries, governor of primaries, state legislative
0:57
primaries, leadership elections, policy
1:00
fights, budget fights, state federal,
1:02
I've been there done at all. My
1:05
record is out there in the open. So
1:07
this is not just about one
1:09
person Kevin McCarthy, the opponents
1:11
of speakers, but it's a broader problem as
1:13
always. And all these other phony
1:15
voices, weren't
1:18
not only never involved in any of the aforementioned
1:21
fights, and they're always
1:23
a day late, a dollar short. But
1:26
the fundamental problem with them is
1:29
they will never break the cycle of
1:31
failure. I used to call them
1:33
thumb suckers, but I think now we'll call them
1:35
toe dippers. That's what they are and we'll
1:37
we'll develop that today to what a toe dipper
1:40
is. Always
1:42
focusing on the issue that's not in front
1:44
of you. In the way, it's not in front of you. And
1:46
at the time, it's not in front of you. But
1:48
when the stars do align with the time
1:50
and the issue and the and the means, they
1:53
not only don't join, but they
1:55
are viciously against you. What
1:58
applies more than ever with
2:02
what you're seeing play out? This
2:04
is one of the most teachable moments in my career.
2:07
In American history, not that the speaker
2:09
even matters in a narrow, rhino,
2:11
retarded, Republican house, in
2:13
the the in in the federal system that's
2:15
broken anyway, But it's
2:18
breaking the cycle of failure
2:20
to finally show a new path
2:23
from this false choice that we're always given,
2:26
that we're gonna stand and fight
2:28
for our prerogatives the same way.
2:30
The rhino dirtbags corporates globalists
2:33
and democrats fight for theirs. The
2:36
notion that
2:39
we deserve our Huck Kim Jeffries.
2:41
You see, yeah, the Democrats so you
2:44
know, they were so enthralled with their leader
2:47
supported him. He fights pedal to the metal
2:49
for their issues. We need one of their one
2:51
of our own. And
2:53
the way you need to understand this, The
2:58
way you need to understand what's going on
3:02
is by is by understanding who your
3:04
friends and who your enemies are. We
3:07
often ask, why can't someone come
3:09
along and fight the system? Why why?
3:11
Oh, isn't it terrible? What the Republicans
3:13
are doing? Oh, my gosh. This is terrible.
3:17
You know, why can't someone come along and
3:19
just on their white horse? Well,
3:23
first of all, no one's gonna come along in a white horse.
3:25
If you're gonna disrupt and dislodge
3:27
the system that we all supposedly, at
3:30
least enough to make money and talk
3:32
on the radio, profess
3:34
that it's broken? Well, it it
3:36
ain't gonna look pretty. K?
3:39
But you're
3:43
gonna have to do it at some point. And
3:46
here, twenty guys
3:48
came along and much to my surprise.
3:52
They held on a scale from one to ten,
3:55
from what I thought, you know, Tuesday
3:57
would work out to be
3:59
and you know, this is midday, Wednesday,
4:01
still don't know what's going on. I
4:03
think it was a nine on a scale of ten.
4:05
They all held and they're holding firm.
4:08
We always dreamt what would happen?
4:11
If rather than them always voting with the
4:13
Democrats, them always screwing us, we have
4:15
a group of guys saying we're gonna deny
4:16
you. Until we get systemic
4:19
change. You would
4:21
think everyone would join in. But
4:23
ninety nine percent of conservative thumb
4:26
suckers talkers are either downright
4:28
viciously attacking them or indifferent.
4:30
We're like, well, I'm I'm providing both
4:32
sides. Toe dippers.
4:36
Again, I've said this before, but toe dippers
4:39
are perfectly described. This
4:41
quote from Mark Twain perfectly explains.
4:43
Modern day conservative media, not just
4:45
now but my entire life. In
4:47
the beginning of a change, the patriot is a
4:50
scarce man and brave and
4:52
hated and scorned. When
4:54
his cause succeeds, the
4:56
timid join him for then it costs
4:58
nothing. To be a
5:00
patriot. To
5:03
be a patriot. You know, one of the
5:05
interesting things, wanna I'm gonna go through
5:07
each argument one by one
5:09
the spur asperious phony
5:12
arguments and they keep jumping back from one to
5:14
another and they contradict themselves. Saying
5:17
things that are almost like, what's the problem with McCarthy?
5:19
And then but then they know it doesn't resonate with
5:21
their audience. So they're like, well, no, I'm all
5:23
for doing that. But You
5:25
gotta do it the right way. Show me the strategy.
5:27
Show me the person. First of all, they have a strategy.
5:30
They've actually been pretty successful so far. You
5:32
gotta hand it to them. And
5:34
like, dude, what's your strategy? Like,
5:37
if if if the speakers fight is not your
5:39
thing, I could appreciate that.
5:42
Then at least have a legislative agenda
5:44
for the twenty five trifecta states.
5:46
Work on governor's primaries. Work
5:48
on reforming the way primaries are. My
5:50
seven point plan You don't like all my
5:52
ideas. Pick one or two of them. But
5:54
these guys have nothing but
5:56
carrying water for the GOP.
5:59
And it's all they'll ever do. So
6:01
in the abstract, they're all four fighting.
6:04
But when it comes to it, they never are. Except
6:06
for when we succeed, then
6:08
they'll be like, no. No. This is terrible.
6:11
And the perfect example of this is
6:14
Mitch McConnell. So
6:19
these losers have the nerve
6:22
to say, Chase the squirrel. Oh, McCarthy
6:24
is not the problem. McConnell's
6:27
the problem. We should focus
6:29
our efforts on him. And indeed,
6:31
that's what Trump put out today.
6:34
Well, I have news for you. That's
6:36
not the fight at hand because there's
6:38
nothing we can do about McConnell now.
6:40
Because he's not a presiding officer. So once he
6:43
wins in conference, he won. There's
6:45
no, like, full body vote that
6:47
a few conservatives could deny him.
6:49
But do you know why that fight is over
6:51
with? Because of you,
6:54
because of Trump, because of the
6:56
establishment, because of every one of those
6:58
phony Fox News talk talk show
7:00
hosts. I
7:02
fought him for fifteen freaking
7:04
years. Alone my famous
7:06
storming the castle. Article,
7:09
the first national figure, endorsing
7:11
I helped recruit his primary challenger
7:13
in twenty fourteen. And
7:15
they all all of them, I can name names.
7:18
Daniel, he's a smart leader. When
7:21
it actually mattered, And
7:23
then again, in twenty twenty, he was up again,
7:25
he said he'll repeal a Obamacare
7:27
root and branch. You know why
7:29
he said root and branch? It was in a response
7:31
to video I helped make making
7:33
fun out of him. You know, we had a playoff
7:35
of Kentucky Fried Chicken, a
7:37
Finger Lickin' Fraud, So
7:40
here's what you know, because we knew he wasn't
7:42
gonna repeal Obamacare. And
7:44
he's like, no. Root and Branch. And then he's like, oh,
7:46
well, I guess it wasn't so Root and Branch. He literally
7:48
said that. So in twenty
7:50
twenty, well, now we have
7:52
Trump right. Not only didn't
7:55
Trump side with us, he preemptively
7:57
endorsed McConnell. And then
7:59
that nuked any ability to go after him.
8:01
And even in the leadership election, I
8:03
said this just late October. I wrote an article. I
8:05
was like, Trump needs to whip
8:08
the Senate, majority conference
8:10
vote. He didn't do it. The
8:12
eleventh hour he said McConnell needs to go,
8:14
but it's not like he endorsed Rick's Scott, and I'm
8:16
not saying Rick Scott is great, but it would have been better
8:19
and and whipped and named names
8:21
and been as viciously against
8:23
McConnell as he is against Andy
8:25
Biggs and Chip Roy in these guys. No.
8:28
It was very weak. And
8:30
even that opposition again was only once
8:32
McConnell crossed him personally. All
8:35
these times McConnell was screwing us. He joined with
8:37
him on policy, on elections, and
8:39
then it's not just McConnell. It's all
8:42
of McConnell's lieutenants. Do you know do
8:44
you know why we don't have leverage to get rid of
8:46
him? Why McConnell won the
8:48
vote forty to ten in conference?
8:51
Because every
8:54
single McConnell lieutenant in
8:56
twenty sixteen, twenty eighteen, and twenty
8:58
up for reelection. Forget about the swing states. I'm
9:00
talking about solid red states that everyone
9:02
agrees whoever wins the primary wins
9:04
the general. He endorsed the rhinos like
9:06
Katy Britton, Alabama. You
9:09
know Alabama and Mississippi. You're always
9:11
gonna win those states. Or the
9:13
Republicans at least. All
9:15
four senators are leftist whores
9:17
who voted for the omnibus, Even
9:20
gay marriage, Cindy Hyde Smith from
9:22
Mississippi. No one
9:24
was with me when we
9:26
went after a Ted Cochrane. With
9:29
Chris McDaniel. I helped
9:31
recruit him. And we and
9:33
we won the first round, but then he
9:35
got democrats to vote and narrowly
9:37
lost a runoff. We were flying
9:39
blind. He ran again for the
9:41
next seat, and Trump
9:43
endorsed Cindy Hyde
9:45
Smith. I could go
9:47
down the line. I was there. I
9:49
was involved in all of that. So
9:51
don't tell me, oh, this is not the fight.
9:53
That's the fight. You are yeah. Now that he's
9:55
in his final term, he's in his eighties,
9:57
he's not gonna run for religion. Yo. Yo. Yo.
9:59
McConnell's the problem. Oh, yeah. G.
10:02
Fifteen years too late. I'm
10:04
sick of these voices. Men
10:07
do these guys piss me off. But anyway,
10:10
you know, one of of the things
10:12
We all have New Year's resolutions. One
10:16
of the things I have resolved is to
10:18
listen to music more. Country
10:20
music is my favorite. And
10:22
just relaxes me, which I clearly need
10:24
it as you can see. And
10:27
it's great to get away from the
10:29
visuals, the kind of transhumanism,
10:31
the screen, putting your
10:33
earbuds, but you need
10:35
quality earbuds that don't fall
10:37
out of your ear, get clogged,
10:39
staticky, Raycon
10:42
offers really the only premium
10:44
audio for the perfect price
10:46
point that's not premium. Rikon's
10:49
everyday earbuds, they look great, they feel great,
10:51
they sound better than than ever. They
10:53
have optimized gel tips that fit
10:55
perfectly in ears like mine that seem
10:57
to Always hate IFPs
10:59
in my ear. Raycon's give you up to
11:01
eight hours of play time, thirty two hours of
11:03
battery life. And again, it's
11:05
half the price of typical premium
11:07
brands. That's why they have so many so many five
11:09
star ratings. They
11:11
have noise isolation awareness mode. So
11:14
if you're down the block and someone wants to sneak
11:16
up behind you and knock you out,
11:18
they call it Apple picking. So believe it or
11:20
not, you'll be on top of that. They
11:22
have three customizable sound
11:24
profiles. It is truly great.
11:26
My only problem is my my son stole my
11:29
pair so I had to get another one.
11:31
Go to buy raycon dot com slash
11:33
conservative today to get fifteen percent off your
11:35
Raycon order that's by BYRAYC0N
11:38
dot com slash conservative bi
11:40
raycom dot com slash conservative fifteen
11:42
percent off. So, folks,
11:45
this is terrible. We I
11:47
mean, I don't know what we're gonna do. This is like a
11:49
shutdown. I mean, we're gonna have the economy
11:51
shutdown. We're gonna have our school shutdown. We're gonna
11:53
have healthcare shutdown. We're gonna have to wear a mask. We're
11:55
gonna have to get Jed. Oh, no, I'm
11:57
sorry. No, that was COVID fascism that
11:59
these very same talkers were either
12:01
indifferent to or supported. And
12:03
these very same Republicans like Kevin
12:05
McCarthy fully supported. No, it's just
12:07
a speaker's race. Doesn't matter to
12:09
our lives. So I'm
12:11
sorry, the families of the members elect
12:13
will have to stay in Washington a couple
12:15
extra days to sort
12:17
this out. This is
12:19
the thing. They won't even
12:21
fight for something like this.
12:23
You know, I
12:26
have a long institutional memory. Because
12:28
I've been fighting for what's right in the way
12:30
it matters, at the time it matters for so long.
12:33
I was fighting McCarthy
12:35
before it was cool. These
12:37
guys look at us like we're from Mars. How
12:39
do you well, what's the problem with McCarthy?
12:41
This was consensus seven
12:44
years ago. When
12:47
boehner was defeated, which
12:49
by the way was only thanks to our work,
12:51
almost everyone I don't wanna say that there's not a
12:53
single one, but ninety five percent of the so
12:55
called conservative voices that are,
12:57
you know, blockading now, they weren't with
12:59
us on getting rid of Bainer either.
13:02
But we got rid of Bainer. So,
13:05
you know, who's gonna step up?
13:07
McCarthy stepped up. McCarthy pulled out
13:09
of the race. Because everyone
13:11
understood it wasn't even ideological, even even
13:13
a lot of the moderates. He was just a
13:15
bungling fool. He was a
13:17
bimpo. He was an ideologically soulless
13:19
person. He literally
13:21
believes in nothing, and that's why the
13:23
senate GOP laughs at him. They
13:25
know he's not to the right. They know he's just
13:27
putting on a show. And that's why we'll never have
13:29
leverage over the senate with
13:31
with someone like him in charge.
13:36
Kevin McCarthy stared into the this, and he
13:38
said in conference, this is
13:40
October twenty fifteen.
13:42
I'm not the one. We
13:44
need a fresh face. Those were his
13:47
words. Seven years of his failed
13:49
majority leader ship during
13:51
the trifecta years. We are
13:54
in this position today because of
13:56
in part his leadership among a few
13:58
others. How
14:00
are Kevin McCarthy's own words
14:03
not ringing true times a hundred
14:05
today. I'm not the
14:07
one we need a fresh face.
14:10
You see,
14:14
what you have now are
14:17
the thumb suckers and toe dippers.
14:20
Here's what these guys do. They
14:22
wait for consensus. They
14:24
read the room. They don't want any
14:26
messy fight. don't want any
14:28
disruption. They wanna just
14:30
glide in there. It's like the type of people are just going
14:32
to your private voting booth and vote
14:34
for president and you change the
14:36
world. They don't want to fight for anything. They
14:38
don't get their hands dirty. K?
14:41
That's why they're two they're a year
14:43
late on lockdowns, a year late on mass, and
14:45
two years late on that scenes if ever, and
14:47
they'll be a year to five years late on
14:49
Ukraine. Same thing. Ten
14:51
to fifteen years late on McConnell,
14:54
They'll always they'll
14:56
right now, if you talk to conservative Inc.
14:59
Any, like, you know, major conservative,
15:01
list your fifty most famous so called
15:03
conservative voices that are nothing but
15:05
GOP water carriers. So
15:09
It's pretty much consensus that, oh yeah, Bainer was totally
15:11
a Democrat. He was a he was a total
15:13
fraud. Yeah.
15:16
But at the time, we
15:18
were crushed. You're creating
15:20
the same argument. See, I've lived through
15:22
this. It's a
15:24
joke. Everyone thinks this is new. It's
15:26
not. They made the same arguments. You're
15:28
holding up the house. You're gonna somehow
15:30
empower the Democrats when it's not true.
15:33
And then now yeah. Bader was an
15:36
idiot. Oh,
15:38
that that's that's what a toe
15:40
dipper is. You see
15:42
people drowning in the
15:44
sea and you gotta jump in there. It doesn't matter.
15:46
If the water is scalding, if the water is cold,
15:48
if the water is lukewarm, you gotta got a
15:50
job to do. Someone's
15:53
drowning. They'll dip their toe
15:55
in. Well, I'm
15:58
all for doing this,
16:00
but This is not the right
16:02
way. This is not
16:04
the way to do it. And
16:06
by the way, like, this is the thing they
16:08
always want no
16:11
cost fights, not even that there's really
16:13
a cost here, but that's why all
16:15
these guys, they won't focus on the
16:17
speakers fight, and some will downright be against
16:19
us. But pretty much universally, they're
16:21
all forgetting rid of Rona McDaniel McDaniel
16:23
even though their hero Trump is supporting
16:25
her. The
16:28
RNC championship is a nothing
16:30
burger because there's no dramatic fight over
16:32
that. It doesn't matter. It's a no
16:34
one cares who the RNC chair is.
16:36
And don't get me wrong. Her meet Dylan is a great
16:39
woman. Kudos for
16:41
stepping up, you know, not just complaining, but
16:43
saying, look, I'll run a serious
16:45
campaign. But I don't even know how that even
16:47
matters in the scheme of things. But but that's fun. I
16:49
don't wanna dump like I said, I don't like dumping
16:51
on other people. If they if
16:53
they have a way that they feel will change
16:55
the system, but I'm just telling you they'll latch
16:57
onto that but they won't latch onto
16:59
this. It's the same way while they'll
17:01
be like, oh, McConnell's the problem.
17:03
It's so cute. You know,
17:05
I saw yesterday, even
17:07
Nikki Haley, who's like Uber
17:10
establishment, was bashing Mitch
17:12
McConnell over, like, you know, signing
17:14
the infrastructure, you know, having
17:16
the ceremony about the infrastructure built with
17:18
McConnell in Kentucky, with Biden
17:20
in in Kentucky. And
17:23
and Nikki, like Bash's McConnell,
17:25
I'm thinking like, dude, she
17:28
never ever would have done that for
17:30
fifteen years. Now they read
17:32
the room and thanks to
17:34
our work. After so many years, yeah,
17:36
it's kind of cool to go after McConnell's.
17:38
Yeah. McConnell's the problem problem. They'll
17:41
never fight the issue in front of
17:43
them at the time it actually matters.
17:48
the ones who aren't supporting McCarthy,
17:50
they're just commenting and not taking
17:52
aside. Well, there's drama. We gotta
17:54
get it sorted out. Well,
17:56
what the hell do you want from that? So so I'm gonna I'm gonna
17:58
go through each each
18:01
argument one at
18:03
a time. See,
18:05
they accuse us of being like, purest
18:09
obstructionists, no. They're the
18:11
one saying no. They're the ones who
18:13
won't take yes for an answer. They
18:15
complain and complain and complain and finally
18:17
people at the there's nothing
18:19
to gain. Could
18:21
you imagine being twenty out of two
18:23
hundred and twenty two in a conference?
18:25
When they're saying you're holding up the committee,
18:27
you're holding up our majority, you're
18:29
holding up everything I don't
18:32
even know if I'd be able to do that. I'd be
18:34
able to argue against issues,
18:36
but this is very personal. That's a very
18:38
I mean, my hats off to those
18:40
people. And they're holding.
18:43
I never thought they
18:45
would hold. We
18:48
always wanted this to one in our denium. You first
18:50
have to elect a hundred
18:52
fifty conservatives just to pull out
18:54
of your hand. Then we can We don't
18:56
have freaking time and I'm I'm the one who tried
18:58
to do that and you were never with me in the
19:01
primaries. This is the
19:03
best we have. Daniel.
19:06
I want the perfect candidate for a speaker
19:08
and you could put his name out ahead of
19:10
time and somehow McCarthy's team won't tear
19:13
him down. And everyone's gonna flock to
19:15
him and there won't be a fight. Dude,
19:17
that doesn't exist. There
19:20
This is the only strategy. Look,
19:22
if you want to say, I have no problem with
19:24
McCarthy. Let's get the show on because it
19:26
is just the show. The GOP theater
19:29
I wanna commentate on but the democrats,
19:32
so just say so. Don't
19:34
be dishonest and
19:37
project your grifting
19:40
political games gamesmanship
19:42
on people like Chip Roy that are
19:44
as pure as they get as they come.
19:48
Don't project it on them. Don't
19:50
say, oh, I'm all for this,
19:52
but but what?
19:54
So we'll go through some
19:56
of this. First, our other sponsor today
19:59
is speaking of things that
20:01
only have an upside and no downside,
20:03
what about upside app? Thanks
20:05
to Republicans. Thanks
20:08
to this failed Republican leadership.
20:10
Republicans have controlled the body closest to the
20:12
people the US House for twenty of the
20:14
last twenty eight years. Since
20:17
nineteen ninety four, the debt has
20:19
gone from four trillion to thirty one
20:22
trillion. Dependency every
20:24
measure. That's why we have the inflation we
20:26
have. Everyone knows
20:28
that. And these guys are trying to change
20:30
it, but you could change things for
20:32
yourself. When you register with upside, it's
20:34
an app. You know, you only get like one percent back
20:36
on your credit card. So with every
20:38
purchase of gas groceries or
20:41
restaurants, you could register
20:43
or, you know, check-in. Okay. I'm gonna go to
20:45
Shell gas station on this corner
20:47
of, you know, Smith Avenue.
20:51
And then you go
20:53
and you upload the receipt and
20:55
you get literally sometimes forty to
20:57
sixty cents per gallon
21:00
back. In in cash. Also, to get started,
21:02
if you download the free website app, use my
21:04
promo code conservative, and get five
21:06
dollars off or more cash back on your
21:08
first first purchase of ten dollars or
21:10
more. So again, claim the
21:12
offer on that gas station
21:14
or grocery store, check-in, pay
21:16
as usual with a credit card, and you
21:18
get paid back. It could be through
21:21
their rewards program, through your credit card,
21:23
your bank account, Download the free upside app promo
21:25
code conservators to get five dollars or
21:27
more cash back on your first purchase of ten
21:29
dollars or more every little bit.
21:32
Counts in this inflationary economy.
21:34
So, anyway, folks, here's the
21:37
deal. We've
21:39
all played. We've all played
21:41
this game over and
21:43
over again. We all know
21:45
how it ends. Okay? They
21:48
play this game. They indulge
21:50
our issues very superficially, and
21:52
then they screw us. I
21:54
have an article out today going through. The
21:57
top committee chairman are
21:59
the worst people like
22:01
Tom Cole and Kate Granger and Mike Rogers.
22:03
And by the way, all these people
22:05
are in solid red districts.
22:08
And they're the top committee chairman.
22:12
So there's this notion, there's
22:14
this low expectation attitude
22:16
of the people that are nothing but GOP
22:18
water carriers. Well, Daniel, what do
22:20
you expect? We have to wait. We're not in the
22:23
majority. There aren't enough conservatives, and
22:25
this is the best you can
22:27
get. This expectation that
22:30
committee chairman chips should always go
22:32
to them. The rules committee should That's just
22:34
how it is. No. That's not how
22:37
it is. Democrats make their demands, the rhinos
22:39
make their demands, so we should
22:41
make our demands. Do you
22:43
know do you know when they just did this
22:45
in reverse? In Ohio.
22:47
And it just shows how broken the party
22:50
is. So Republicans have a two to one
22:52
majority like sixty seven to thirty
22:54
three in the Ohio House. They
22:56
elected a conservative speaker in conference, the opposite of what
22:58
happened here. But the rhinos were, like,
23:01
screw that. They went along with
23:03
the democrats. And
23:06
that they got all the democrats plus twenty
23:08
two Republicans to to vote for for
23:10
a leftist republican. And
23:13
there you go. But the
23:15
only reason we have these people in there is
23:17
because they didn't want to make surgery.
23:20
Do do this surgery. There
23:22
is no time like the present. You're certainly not
23:25
gonna do this after you win a big
23:27
majority. Oh, now is
23:29
not the time. McCarthy
23:31
is the most unrespected bimbo
23:34
of anyone around. If you get a more respected
23:37
establishment guy, it's certainly not gonna happen.
23:42
Now, by the way, I just wanna note. Somebody
23:44
said, oh, Daniel, you just said the Democrats
23:47
joined. It it's a different situation
23:49
there. First of all, it's a state
23:51
level. In in a Republican
23:53
super majority, this has been going on a long
23:55
time. Democrats know they'll never get their
23:57
person in. It's permanent. That
23:59
they're in just work with the fake Republicans out in the
24:01
open, and they do that. And this has been going on for
24:03
a while. The federal thing is much more
24:06
partisan and it's a narrow majority they're
24:08
not gonna turn and support a Republican first
24:11
speaker. The only way that could
24:13
happen is not Matt Gates and Andy
24:15
Biggs and Chipotle doing that.
24:18
It's McCarthy's allies doing that.
24:20
Like, a lot of people are like, well, Daniel, but
24:22
then the moderates will go and do
24:24
that. That could only The
24:26
moderates our solid McCarthy supporters.
24:28
They're not like, well, we're reluctant, Lisa.
24:30
They love the guy. Okay?
24:32
So obviously, he's not a con he's a fraud.
24:35
And they're saying they will they're they're only
24:38
McCarthy. That's what they're saying. They won't support
24:40
anyone else. Anyone
24:43
else. So
24:47
because they won't support
24:49
anyone else, they love
24:51
McCarthy. So if they
24:53
go and then cut a deal with Democrats,
24:55
That's on McCarthy. That could
24:57
only happen if McCarthy green lights
25:00
that. If
25:02
you don't like the deadlock, then fine. But
25:05
don't don't make something up. See,
25:07
this is the thing about conservative
25:09
talk radio. They have one
25:12
muscle memory. You have to that that that
25:15
that democrat.
25:17
That's all they know is but the
25:19
democrats. And that's
25:22
how they get people on the plantation.
25:24
That no matter what, no matter how, no matter
25:26
what these people do, you'll support them in the
25:28
general election and won't even at least to win it in the three way
25:30
race, run an independent, like I've been
25:32
talking about, but legitimately
25:34
it is true, especially if you don't try
25:36
it independent. Well, if you don't have Republicans don't
25:38
turn out, depending on the state, you know how
25:40
many Republicans, but eventually the
25:42
Democrat will win. The
25:44
beauty of this fight is
25:46
that you could force
25:48
a national discussion on the future of
25:50
the party, the structure of the party, the way
25:52
the house runs, the priorities of it,
25:55
without any risk the democrats
25:57
are gonna get it. Because think about it.
25:59
If McCarthy is struggling so much despite
26:01
dissent from only twenty people,
26:03
What do you think Hakim Jeffries could
26:06
somehow know? He could easily vote that down. He
26:08
needs a majority. So
26:10
the have to fabricate the but the
26:12
democrats will win argument even when
26:14
it's not true because that's all they
26:17
have. They can't get up there and say I'm just
26:19
a horror Kevin McCarthy because I'd become
26:21
friends with him through Trump. They
26:24
can't say that because their audience doesn't wanna
26:27
hear that. So they have gonna help the
26:29
Democrat. It's not true. It's
26:31
not true. Now
26:33
let's go through some
26:35
other arguments. Daniel,
26:37
I'm all for this, but but this is too
26:39
messy. It's not the way to do it.
26:41
You should have done it before. They
26:43
did do it before. This isn't
26:45
like the bohner fights that were serendipitous.
26:47
I mean, people knew stuff was going on. We're planning
26:49
it quietly, but then you you come to the
26:51
floor and they vote against him. They
26:54
promised for two months, they said, we, you
26:56
do not have the votes on the
26:59
floor. So they did
27:01
do that. Then
27:03
the next argument is,
27:06
well, Daniel. I don't
27:08
know. But what's your
27:10
strategy? What's your strategy? What's
27:12
your strategy? So first of all, these
27:14
guys aren't gonna freaking divulge it
27:16
to you. What? They're supposed Like,
27:18
don't play ignorance with me.
27:21
If you claim to be on their side, but you're just concerned about
27:23
strategy, you should understand, that
27:25
McCarthy is entrenched. All of his
27:27
lieutenants are committee chairs. They all control
27:30
everything. He controls Case Street. They
27:32
control Washington. You
27:34
can't put a guy out there. They do
27:36
have two to three names. I will just
27:38
tell you. That are more low key respected people
27:40
that aren't Jim Jordan, you know, not
27:42
just Jim Jordan play, but there are other
27:45
people there Some of it I'm privy to, some
27:47
of it I'm not. They keep it
27:49
very tight to their chest that I don't even know,
27:51
and that's a good thing. That's the only
27:53
way you can do it. I'm actually very
27:55
impressed. We always say that it's oh, it's chaotic.
27:57
It's chaotic. They they've actually done
27:59
a great job. They've done it.
28:01
I mean, this is what we always dreamt
28:03
of. I I don't even know if I could have done it.
28:06
They held firm. They brought it to
28:08
the brink. But you
28:10
can't through the front door. Say,
28:12
oh, it's John Doe. They'll
28:14
tear the guy apart. You
28:16
have to first defeat
28:18
McCarthy and hemorrhage his
28:20
support before you could bring someone out and
28:22
we're close to that point. And
28:24
we would be if we would have a unified movement
28:26
and not be fragged by these idiots.
28:29
See, that's another thing.
28:31
That's another thing. There are some
28:33
schmucks out there that were like, you know,
28:35
these five five boneheads,
28:37
five five people. No.
28:39
Actually, it's twenty. So
28:42
there's one thing if you think it's a joke of an effort. But now say
28:44
what you want, it's not a joke. It's
28:46
a real effort. So even if you didn't
28:48
originally back it and strategically
28:51
Again, if it's not a values disagreement, which I
28:53
think it is, it's just a strategic
28:55
disagreement. By now, you'd be you you would
28:57
support us. Like, okay. But now
28:59
look now now it's self
29:01
fulfilling if they would put the pressure on
29:03
McCarthy's gone. It's
29:05
very close. Even the media agrees
29:07
to that. So now you are
29:09
literally siding with McCarthy,
29:11
which is what they're doing. It's the so
29:13
I wanna make it clear. It's not about
29:15
Oh, I'm all for this bud. There
29:18
is no other way. Tell me tell
29:20
me the name. What's what's
29:22
the strategy? What's
29:24
the exit strategy? What's
29:26
your exit strategy? What are
29:28
you gonna do to change the
29:31
freaking GOP? You don't like the
29:33
speakers. Right? Fine. I'm
29:36
working on primaries. I'm working on
29:38
state legislators. Do you know yesterday on
29:40
the same day I worked the speakers fight?
29:42
I published a three thousand word
29:44
list of like thirty different
29:47
ideas. On medical freedom.
29:49
And and I worked until eleven
29:51
last night, and then I got a
29:53
call from a a legislator in
29:56
in a right state. Who's like legislative language
29:58
and some talking points for these ideas? I wanna
30:00
move on them quick. So I worked on that.
30:02
God bless him. So
30:05
don't tell me like, oh, you're a
30:07
purist. You're not a you don't know how to
30:10
govern. Oh, it's it's just there's
30:12
no strategy. I'm working on
30:14
fifty million things and happened for fifteen
30:16
years, and they were never with me on
30:18
any of them. I could use support
30:20
on it. It's not gonna do with
30:22
McCarthy. It's not that the speakers fight, the right
30:24
time, the right place. It's
30:26
about they just wanna commentate toe
30:28
dip, thumb suck as an end to itself,
30:30
grip to make millions of dollars,
30:34
and carry water for
30:36
the GOP. While also sounding like But, principally,
30:39
ideally, all the concert are about
30:42
it. Except when it actually matters
30:44
and and you could actually do something about
30:46
it. You're never
30:48
going to have a clean fight. We had
30:50
the same problem with primaries.
30:53
Oh my gosh. Danielle, I'm all
30:55
four going after these senate
30:58
Republicans, but you gotta get better
31:00
candid. Dude,
31:02
if you're gonna sit and frag us,
31:04
we There is no front door doing.
31:06
You're not gonna get
31:08
a well respected guy
31:11
with trillions of dollars through
31:13
the front door coming and
31:15
challenging these guys. It's suicide.
31:17
It doesn't happen. Like,
31:20
it's broadly agreed that Rhonda
31:22
Santos is not just the most
31:24
conservative governor, but one of the
31:26
most talented at governing, campaigning,
31:28
raising money, you know, being very
31:30
competent. But even
31:33
Ron, I love the guy. But
31:35
even Ron, You know,
31:38
it was very hard. It was only because of
31:40
Trump's endorsement. One of the
31:42
few good endorsements he
31:44
did that he beat the establishment. That was
31:46
an open seat. That wasn't incumbent.
31:48
And then he won by thirty
31:50
thousand votes to general election. Now that he got
31:52
a chance to govern and people like it,
31:54
yet now he's, you know, flying above the
31:57
clouds. But we're talking about
31:59
initially getting into this lodge,
32:01
so you Ron DeSantis, you run against an
32:03
incumbent Republican in the primary. There's
32:05
no way you win. And
32:07
Ron DeSantis hit himself at the
32:09
time would have looked like a
32:12
right wing extremist bundling fool because you look very clumsy
32:14
when you're trying to
32:16
storm the castle. Now
32:20
everyone's a big hero. I supported him
32:22
from day one when it wasn't cool in the
32:24
primary. But now everyone's
32:26
like, your aunt DeSantis. Yeah.
32:28
Now, that's the thing. In the rare instances
32:30
that we actually eventually win something, they're
32:32
all for it. You know, let me give you
32:34
a perfect perfect example of this.
32:38
So what are the few
32:40
successes I've ever had? You know,
32:42
I had my little share, my
32:44
part in helping
32:47
Dave Bratt defeat Eric Kantor,
32:49
sitting majority leader in a primary
32:51
for a seat in Virginia. This
32:53
was in twenty fourteen. And
32:56
it's funny. It was you were reminiscing
32:58
about it. Dave called me out of the blue. We were we
33:00
were talking two days ago
33:02
talking on Monday, and we're just kind of we're
33:04
talking about all this stuff. And
33:07
it was the funniest thing.
33:10
Because every candidate like
33:12
him that was on the radar
33:14
of Conservative Inc. No.
33:16
Why are you going after your cancer?
33:18
What leadership. How dare
33:20
you do that? Well, you're tearing down this
33:22
and that now. It's not only Bader, but now you
33:24
have a problem with cancer. But
33:27
then the minute that in the rare
33:29
circumstance, he shocked everyone and won
33:31
by eleven points, you know, even
33:33
I was shocked, we're all shocked. They
33:37
were all very positive about
33:39
him. Oh, look at this.
33:41
This is great. This is great. One
33:45
of them who's still around today taking potshots at
33:47
the guys that are challenging McCarthy,
33:50
even called me up and was
33:52
like, Hey, Daniel. My father wants
33:54
to be his chief of staff. Put in put
33:56
in his name. See how
33:59
this game works? Again,
34:02
Mark Twain, they wait in
34:04
total and no longer cost anything
34:07
to be a patriot. When
34:09
the other people they scorned upon did the
34:11
hard work for them.
34:14
And in an irony of all
34:16
ironies coming full circle, We are
34:18
only in this position
34:20
because they didn't learn the lesson
34:22
eight years ago about
34:28
about Eric Cander. It's
34:30
like the base didn't want the
34:32
corporates young guns.
34:34
So they took Cander's deputy
34:37
and co author of
34:39
young guns, Kevin McCarthy, who was
34:41
then the whipp the number three, and
34:43
they elevated him to majority leader, which put
34:45
him in the position to run for speaker
34:47
a year later and they didn't want him and he failed and now we're drudging him up
34:50
again. They forget all
34:52
that history.
34:55
But some of us not only remember
34:57
it, but we're involved in it. We're
34:59
not Johnny come latelies. We're not
35:01
one trick pony. This is the game these
35:03
guys play. But folks,
35:07
I myself am
35:09
more focused on wanted to talk
35:11
about the vaccines. I wanted to talk about the issues. I wanted to talk about
35:13
the state legislatures. What we can
35:16
do? But when you
35:18
have guys in the field doing what
35:20
you asked, You gotta
35:23
back then. You gotta take yes
35:25
for an answer. One of the points
35:27
we've been making is that in
35:29
the absence of in one
35:32
generation being able to create a new
35:34
party. One of the things you can do
35:36
is, vote as
35:38
a block. Use the Republican party the way they use us, use it for
35:40
ballot access. And then you get
35:42
in there and you form like a Freedom
35:44
Alliance, and
35:46
you just Yes,
35:48
you hostage take.
35:50
They hostage take us for tyranny. You
35:52
better believe will hostage take them for
35:56
liberty. And for what's right. Like I
35:58
said, they do it all the time.
36:00
It's time we do it. It's like somehow
36:04
it's like No. No. You have
36:06
to fight nicely. No. This
36:10
is what they're doing.
36:12
It's not I don't care if Kevin McCarthy
36:14
is that they're all bad. But here's the deal. What they're demonstrating is
36:16
what we need to do in state legislatures.
36:22
A block of conservatism saying we're not gonna we're
36:24
gonna use every leverage to bring
36:27
this to the brink to
36:30
finally force a
36:32
discussion over what we're here
36:34
for. It stopped
36:36
this theater.
36:39
It's worth a few
36:41
days of deadlock in a chamber
36:43
no one's following to
36:45
sort this out. You
36:48
need to push it to the brink.
36:50
They're all like, oh, you just
36:52
get a general election candidate come out
36:54
of nowhere they're not gonna come out of nowhere because part
36:57
of what Kevin McCarthy represents is the
36:59
country club Republicans. They have a
37:01
next in line
37:04
mentality. And Ninety nine percent of the time, whether
37:06
it's a leadership position, whether it's a
37:08
candidate for
37:10
house, senate, Governor even
37:12
state legislature in most cases.
37:14
It's the next in line and ninety five
37:16
percent of the time, the next in line is
37:18
a puke. They might not say
37:20
things publicly that sound picky, but they
37:22
are. And they're certainly not
37:24
gonna do what it takes to fight
37:26
the system. You're gonna if you you're gonna have to dislodge
37:30
them. You can't just
37:32
thumb suck your way
37:34
into this. And the
37:36
beauty is as a talk show host, you don't
37:38
even have to do
37:40
anything. Twenty guys are laying it out
37:42
on the
37:44
line. And they're
37:47
fragging them. Let's go
37:49
on to another argument.
37:52
Well, Daniel, I understand
37:54
you made your point. You did very
37:56
good. You got all these concessions.
37:58
But now, you know, anything more
38:00
is gonna be counterproductive. You gotta, you
38:02
know, take yes for an answer, you know,
38:05
he he Kevin McCarthy was
38:07
just so magnanimous on making
38:10
concessions and you gotta
38:12
accept it. A lot of things to say on that point, a couple of
38:14
things to clear up.
38:17
So just broadly, Oh,
38:20
so that's an admission
38:22
that they actually did a good thing here.
38:24
So now you're using their
38:28
suppose it in your mind gains and concessions against
38:30
them to bash them and
38:33
oppose them. But That would be
38:35
okay if you enthusiastically supported them in
38:38
total. And I'm like, hey, guys. Okay. I Good.
38:40
Now it's time to call it off. But they were
38:42
viciously attacking them from day one.
38:44
So their own argument is a self indictment. That if this
38:46
would have been left to your devices, we
38:49
wouldn't have gotten those concessions. be
38:52
lesson that you have to force things
38:54
to change things. So that's number
38:56
one. That's
38:58
number one. Had they had
39:00
their way, we wouldn't have done
39:02
that. Number two is, you have
39:04
to understand the nature, the
39:06
timing, and the individual behind the
39:08
concessions and what the concessions
39:10
were. This guy is a
39:12
lying thief. Bainor
39:14
had this remember the pledge
39:16
to America, They're promising you one
39:19
single issue votes, seventy two hours before
39:21
they had all this in
39:24
their document. And they waved every bill that they
39:26
wanted to break it, which were all the foreign bills. They
39:28
just waived it in the
39:30
rules committee. It's
39:32
not even speculation. This is what they've done.
39:36
Under Bainer, under Ryan, and under
39:40
Pelosi. Democrats too had certain rules too, by the way, they would
39:42
waive them, which they
39:44
can in the rules committee for the
39:46
individual bill. But
39:48
there there is a time that you
39:51
take concessions, but then you
39:53
have to under in, there's
39:55
a difference when you negotiate, you you make a
39:58
case, wow, you know, I'm gonna give you some
40:00
stuff. But here's the
40:02
deal. If you remember, we See, now
40:04
all of a sudden, All these talkers
40:06
are experts on the house rules.
40:08
Although the concessions, the
40:10
concessions, I was the one talking
40:12
about it. A half a year ago
40:14
when it actually mattered when the freedom caucus published it.
40:16
McCarthy was shut up, talk to the hand,
40:19
Even though weren't even right wing things, they were very same
40:22
things, he wouldn't give an inch. He wouldn't
40:24
even meet with them. And it
40:26
went on and on
40:28
and on. He only started doing it once
40:30
he realized he had no idea there was
40:32
be a challenge for a
40:34
speaker ship. But
40:36
then when it was a narrow majority, and
40:40
these five guys I mean And by the way, no
40:42
one saw it coming on
40:44
either side. And it's really a
40:46
testament to their strength of
40:48
character. Because the problem
40:50
is it's always it's like a
40:52
hijacking situation. When you have three
40:54
hijackers, you have a plane of a hundred people. You
40:56
could take them down. But you need to have
40:58
a coordination. Who's the first one not to
41:00
blink and to do it? So that you have a
41:02
critical mass that you don't get mow
41:04
down. So
41:06
five guys were willing to enable
41:08
another fifteen and you know, there's another ten kind
41:10
of in the orbit there because
41:13
because McCarthy couldn't afford to lose more than
41:15
for it from day one. Norman, Bob
41:18
Good, Matt Gates, Andy
41:20
Biggs, and Darrin, I
41:23
always forget the fifth. But
41:26
it will come back to
41:28
me. I can't believe I'm forgetting
41:30
this. But yeah. I'm I'm sorry. The
41:32
the the the fifth name there they
41:34
put their name out there and they were willing
41:37
to do that. No one saw that
41:39
happening. No one saw that
41:42
happening. So McCarthy got desperate and last minute.
41:44
So if you go from zero
41:46
negotiation to just cause your
41:48
your life's dream is in danger,
41:51
oh, here you could have this. Okay. We'll allow
41:53
this rule, that rule.
41:56
Here's the deal. Given the history, given the
41:58
person, given the timing. It's a fraud.
42:01
And part of why it's a fraud is, and
42:03
here's the big thing, is the
42:05
rules committee. One of the things
42:07
they're asking for is There
42:10
are six Republicans on
42:12
the Rules Committee. Right now,
42:14
the Rules Committee, the the chairman
42:16
is slated to be Tom McColl, Tom
42:20
Cole, there are no words to describe
42:22
the guy. The guy
42:24
hates you and me more than Joe Biden, and Chuck
42:26
Schumer hates you and me. He
42:28
literally said that we need
42:30
more money for the FBI to
42:33
go after more people. He
42:35
is going to be the chairman of
42:38
the rules committee. That is what
42:40
writes anything out to the floor. So on the one hand, it
42:42
doesn't have jurisdiction over any issue, but on the
42:44
other hand, it's really the committee of it
42:46
it by default could essentially give
42:48
life or death to any other
42:50
piece of legislation from any committee.
42:54
He's the chairman, and then it's stacked
42:56
with hacks. They're asked so
42:58
there's six Republicans. The majority always has
43:00
six, I think six to three. You
43:04
know, even though if even even it's a narrow majority,
43:06
that's how that's how they do it.
43:08
Six to three. So they're asking
43:10
for three of the six Republican slots.
43:13
And maybe to get rid of coal. So that
43:15
he said no, unless you do
43:17
that, everything else is not worth the paper it's
43:19
printed on. Among
43:22
other things, So that's with that. Then there's the next
43:24
thing. Oh, no. These guys
43:26
are doing it for
43:28
personal reasons. They
43:30
wanna get on TV. They want to
43:32
make a name for themselves and
43:35
they're selling their how dare they
43:38
go to McCarthy last
43:40
minute, they want it's all
43:42
perks. They want committee chairman. They
43:44
want committee
43:46
slots. Okay. So somehow when Marjorie Taylor Green
43:48
and the other sell out for committee slots
43:50
to McCarthy, that's okay.
43:52
But here's the point. Anyone
43:55
who knows Chip Roy. Chip
43:58
Roy has no freaking
44:00
desire. To sit on the
44:02
rules committee, and lose time with his family.
44:04
Okay. He really doesn't.
44:06
Alright. And anyone who knows him knows that.
44:09
But the rub against our guys is always, you always
44:12
say no and never offer to run for
44:14
anything. So that's what they're saying, I'll be
44:16
on rules and they put
44:18
forward names of people. And Chip was I could say Chip
44:20
was was one of
44:22
them. Now I was like, oh, no. You're
44:24
doing it for yourself. They're doing it
44:26
for us. We
44:28
don't freaking have a seat at the table. So, of course, it has
44:30
to be one of the conservative members. So,
44:34
something have to volunteer
44:36
for it. What are you
44:38
gonna do? Who else is gonna do
44:40
it? What a stupid
44:42
argument? And
44:44
also broadly, they're doing it to make
44:46
a name make a name of themselves, there is no benefit to them.
44:48
Because all of the
44:50
top shows except for Tucker,
44:53
are blasting them. And Tucker's a
44:56
little nuanced. He was he was
44:58
okay. Little nuanced. There's
45:00
stuff going on beyond the scenes, but thank
45:02
he he held. But they're not
45:04
making a name of themselves. It's
45:07
the ones pimping firm that
45:09
are getting all the favors. This
45:11
is storming the castle.
45:14
There is no benefit to doing what
45:18
they're doing. We always
45:20
hope for principal people, they finally
45:22
do it. Oh, Daniel, I don't know.
45:24
This is a bit much for me. I can't stomach
45:26
this. Did
45:28
shut Then shut up, then you're a fraud. We're
45:30
not even asking you to do it. We're
45:32
asking you not to piss on those
45:34
doing it. Doesn't even cost you
45:36
anything. Just
45:42
just just so so
45:44
pathetic. It's
45:50
just so stupid. So
45:55
call your member. And demand
45:58
they oppose McCarthy.
46:00
Oh oh, Daniel,
46:03
what what's the What what
46:06
what what's the thread?
46:08
What's what's what's the end game? What
46:10
are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? What's
46:13
your end game? Why is it? This is what I
46:15
understand. So Lara Ingram had Chip Roy on. You
46:17
gotta see that interview. So it's all a bunch
46:19
of false choice the
46:21
Democrats are gonna win. It's not true unless
46:24
McCarthy makes that happen. But it's like
46:26
okay. But how do you get to
46:28
two eighteen? How do you get to two eighteen?
46:30
Why is that not asked to McCarthy? How does McCarthy
46:32
get to get to to to to to to to to
46:34
to to Well, they have more than us. Whoa.
46:37
Whoa. You gotta make more I like more
46:40
people. No. Why do we have
46:42
to always be on the out? We
46:44
have one
46:46
Democrat Party. We deserve
46:48
our own hot Kim Jeffries.
46:50
This is our movement.
46:52
This is our platform.
46:55
We built this. The majority of voters who vote Republican believe
46:57
in that, which is why they lie and
47:00
cater to
47:02
it, notoriously. Notice
47:04
Republicans don't openly most of them
47:06
don't openly say what they
47:08
believe because they know the voters that wanna hear this
47:10
way. So these are the people who represent
47:13
them. Why should we we always
47:15
have to yield? I don't
47:17
know, Daniel, take what you can get.
47:19
I don't know. What
47:22
a bunch of pathetic toe
47:24
dippers? Couple other
47:26
notes, it was
47:30
very interesting. Kevin McCarthy
47:32
was nominated by at least stefanek.
47:34
She gave a nominating speech, and
47:36
she was just the biggest leftist around. And
47:38
by the way, just an interesting thing here.
47:41
Just so you know this is not about McCarthy.
47:43
It's the same people, largely supporting
47:45
the COVID shots, supporting Ukraine,
47:48
supporting supporting McConnell back in
47:50
the day, what was wrong on so
47:52
many primaries supported all of Trump's loser, you know,
47:54
candidates. But
47:57
it's not just McCarthy. So Daniel now
47:59
is not the time on the floor. Well,
48:01
so when is the time? In
48:04
conference. Right? Privately in
48:06
conference. Okay. Do you know a couple years ago or maybe it was
48:08
last year, two years ago? So there was
48:10
a consensus event eventually that Liz
48:12
Cheney needs to step down because she openly
48:14
declared war
48:16
on the entire party and everything. Okay. So Liz Cheney
48:18
was the conference chair.
48:20
Elise Stefanic was anointed by
48:22
Trump to take the position. And
48:25
at the time, Chip Roy stood up and was like,
48:27
wait a minute. I'm glad
48:30
we're getting rid of Liz Cheney, but
48:32
like Elise Defanek
48:34
is just a rhetorical
48:36
pro Trump version of that,
48:40
ideologically. And a lot of these same
48:42
people dumped on chip when to
48:44
fight that. What are you doing? We
48:46
need to get rid of the shady. Like, well, no, you're gonna get
48:48
rid of her no matter what. You have the votes to do
48:50
it. Let's do it with someone
48:52
who's better. Than at least
48:54
Defanek. But it was all about
48:56
Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump.
48:58
But anyway in her
49:00
speech, You gotta listen to it. She
49:03
touted diversity. She used, we have
49:05
the most diverse. We have the first this and
49:07
that. I was thinking in two years from now, they're
49:09
gonna be like, We have the first
49:11
transgender rep, Pablo Yay. They use the
49:14
intersectionality language. This is how
49:16
these people
49:18
think. They're not of us. They're not by us. They're not for us.
49:20
When you look in and
49:22
and again, look at these super majorities where there's
49:25
no concern of the democrats. So
49:29
the Republicans just work with the democrats. I'm not kidding
49:31
you. In Wyoming, senate, there's
49:33
two democrats. The Republicans work with them
49:35
to crush conservatives. Two,
49:39
unless you do
49:42
surgery. And again, this is not the
49:44
only surgery.
49:46
But it is a dramatic moment to
49:48
force a national debate. But the
49:50
good thing is it's dramatic with really no
49:54
collateral damage. Oh, Daniel, the beautiful committee hearings start
49:56
our delayed by three days.
49:58
Oh, you mean like
50:00
Kate Granger running appropriations? You
50:04
mean like Mike Rogers running armed services? He's the guy saying
50:07
that we need to kick these
50:09
guys off committees? What
50:13
a bunch of idiots?
50:20
And folks, You know, there's one thing when people change for the
50:22
better. If you really
50:24
are, I'm I'm all
50:26
for converts
50:28
and concessions, but it would
50:30
show you would be like laying down on
50:32
the tracks supporting
50:34
our cause. But what these clowns
50:36
do is Once it's finally okay,
50:38
they dipped their toe in it and, like,
50:40
yeah, yeah, whatever. Okay. I guess the vaccines are
50:42
kind of a problem. Done. But they won't fight
50:44
to enact, you know, to to bring bring it to legislation and everything.
50:48
Let me give you one of the few examples that
50:50
just came to my mind. It's an
50:52
interesting factoid. It
50:54
gave me a little bit of
50:56
nostalgia. It's one of the
50:58
few times that a member got better.
51:01
Probably one of the most
51:03
based members, if not the most based member of
51:05
the House of Representatives, is
51:08
Paul Goser. Of Arizona. See, you might have noticed he he gave
51:10
the nominating speech for
51:12
Andy Biggs, his fellow
51:16
Arizona. And I was
51:18
thinking it's funny. So Paul
51:21
Goser was elected in a tea
51:23
party year of twenty ten. And, you know, you had
51:25
all the Bader Budget fights and debt ceiling fights where
51:27
he screwed us. And Goser
51:29
joined with leadership
51:32
on those bills.
51:34
So we actually put up a primary
51:36
challenge. I I remember writing the endorsement
51:38
for his challenger. He was a guy
51:41
in the state legislature. And and and as as
51:43
always, the incumbent won and Ghosn won the challenger didn't
51:45
win. You know what? When he got reelected, it
51:47
was like the only time I
51:49
ever remember that. He never turned back. It turns out
51:51
it was just like, you know, he kind of got hoodwinked
51:54
by leadership, but he got it. He got
51:56
the message. And,
51:58
boy, he never not only did he, like, try to pretend to be
52:00
more conservative, he laid down on the line
52:02
and would lead every fight now. That's
52:05
what a real you
52:08
know, convert looks
52:11
like. That's what a
52:13
convert looks like to the
52:15
cause. That's a man
52:17
who changes. But
52:23
But anyway, these guys,
52:26
you know,
52:32
pigs Bisha, Bobert, breaching cloud, cloud,
52:34
crane gets good.
52:36
Go sir Harris, Paulina Luna,
52:40
Miller, Norman, Oglis, Perry,
52:42
Roseendale. By the way, Matt Roseendale was
52:44
the fifth guy of the original
52:47
chipotle and South He's a
52:49
a freshman and then Byron
52:52
Donald's on the third ballot. Those
52:54
are the twenty. I mean, this
52:56
is something we should
52:58
be celebrating. How else do you wanna do this? And and even if the federal
53:00
thing is not so much your thing, which is not
53:02
mine, but this is
53:04
the blueprint to transitioning to
53:08
a new party, to making concessions that everyone seems to
53:10
think that they were so successful so
53:12
far in getting concessions. Well, how do
53:15
you think you're gonna get that? Oh,
53:17
pretty please. Please help us
53:20
beat the Democrats. Oh, we
53:22
love you. Oh, we're always
53:24
gonna support you with the
53:26
general. No. You're like you, bastards. We don't support you. We're not
53:28
Republicans. We'll use you
53:30
for the ballot line like you use us for
53:32
our votes. And
53:34
we'll get in there and make demands. It's not just about the speakers
53:37
race notched about in the car these, not
53:39
about these individuals. That is
53:42
the blueprint. This is
53:44
what it means. There's a difference between
53:46
starting a new party that you don't readily
53:48
have available versus being on the
53:50
plantation of GOP. That is the
53:53
fulcrum here. That is the dividing line. Whether you're like,
53:55
look, we've tried this for twenty years. Nothing
53:57
will change until we burn
53:59
down the GOP. And we have
54:02
very strategic ideas of how to do
54:04
it versus yam for
54:06
complaining. Yam for this when it's convenient.
54:08
But I don't wanna do anything messy. Ultimately,
54:10
I'm always gonna back the GOP. This is how it
54:13
goes. You lost fair
54:16
and square. In
54:18
conference, now it's time to bet.
54:20
No. If you really Their
54:22
whole argument is Daniel, I don't wanna start a new
54:24
party. This is our party. So then act
54:27
like it. But the same guys who poo poo a
54:29
new party are like, well, the the establishment
54:31
has the majority, so we have to
54:33
work with. No. I'm
54:36
sick of these
54:39
pathetic thumb suckers. These
54:43
pathetic pathetic human beings.
54:49
So folks,
54:52
as I'm
54:56
talking here, we're gonna end at it with a
54:58
little bit of cliff hanger like we've
55:00
never done before. This is very fluid and obviously you're gonna
55:02
hear this after the result. But
55:06
As I'm talking to you, it's about twelve thirty
55:09
PM eastern, Chip
55:12
Roy ahead
55:14
of the fourth round of
55:16
voting has placed into
55:18
nomination byron Donalds. He
55:20
is a Florida Republican. He's a member of
55:22
the Freedom caucus, but he's a very kind
55:25
of new low key guy very well respected. He is one of
55:27
the names I've heard of Floated before. I didn't
55:29
know the exact strategy of when they
55:31
would bring him out. They brought
55:33
him out. By the way, you could tell they did
55:35
this very strategically. This is a
55:37
good effort. And I
55:40
listened as I'm talking, you know, some of
55:42
Chip's speech. And it was
55:44
riveting. It was like, if you had an
55:46
entire room captivated of
55:48
the entire swamp, what would you tell them?
55:50
It was beautiful. was beautiful. And
55:53
he said, look at
55:55
everyone sitting in this chamber, all four
55:57
hundred thirty five members.
56:00
Imagine if we did this on Ukraine. Imagine if we
56:02
did this in every region. We had a debate.
56:04
And he nominated Byron
56:08
Now look, I'm just
56:10
gonna say this, Byron
56:12
Donald's is black. Now
56:14
to us, it matters what you believe
56:16
in, what you fight for, who
56:18
you are, Skin and color does it not up or down. But let's face it
56:20
as we talk about to the GOP. This
56:22
is everything. Oh, our
56:24
image. So he doesn't give
56:26
the vibe of a
56:28
Lauren Beaubert, of Andy
56:30
Biggs of a Right. He
56:32
really doesn't. Okay?
56:34
This is everything they wanted. You
56:36
could have a black speaker. The
56:39
first black speaker in history
56:41
could be a Republican. Again, to me,
56:43
it matters more what you stand for. But
56:46
this is the GOP loves this.
56:48
So you might not have agreed with these
56:50
guys for whatever stupid reason, but they took
56:52
it this far. Why if you are a Fox News host, why at
56:54
this point? Would you not
56:56
say, yeah, this is a much better idea,
56:58
a fresh
57:00
face You get the first black he's be conservative, but
57:02
he's not like a bomb thrower or anything.
57:04
This should make sense. And
57:08
everyone, if everyone with influence, with browbeat them
57:10
into supporting Byron Donalds, this is not
57:12
a joke, this is a serious thing. It's
57:15
not like the whole you
57:18
know, Jim Jordan thing where he he
57:20
doesn't want it and there you know, he's part
57:22
of McCarthy and whatever. He he
57:24
will accept he will
57:26
accept it. I don't know what the vote's gonna be. The vote tally is going
57:28
on. You'll find out.
57:30
But just as a capstone, this
57:32
demonstrates the fraud of
57:36
it all. And I just wanted to end off. I
57:38
don't have the audio for Chip's new speech,
57:40
but this was Chip's speech yesterday when
57:42
he nominated
57:44
Jim Jordan. I'm just gonna end
57:46
off today with the audio of Chip Roy.
57:48
We need the tools and the
57:50
leadership. That's what we've been lacking.
57:54
What is your plan to get the tools and the
57:56
leadership? We put out a number of
57:58
of plans. Chip has
58:02
an idea to at least
58:04
change it in the US house house with
58:06
a speaker. There is no
58:08
reason. This is not a
58:10
disagreement in strategy anymore. If at
58:12
this point, You will
58:14
say you need to stand down and support
58:16
McCarthy over Byron Donalds.
58:18
You are not a conservative. You are not
58:20
a populist. You're not anti establishment. You're
58:23
not anything. You are part
58:25
of the swamp. There is
58:27
no excuse at this point for not
58:29
joining that
58:30
fight. Let's end off and take a
58:32
listen with the audio of our hero, patron, great friend,
58:35
Chipotle. So this
58:38
is what chamber looks like when we're actually debating in the bodies or in the
58:40
chairs. How many times have
58:42
we been down here giving
58:44
speeches and there's not a soul in the
58:46
chamber?
58:47
Yet, this
58:48
is what it takes to get four hundred and
58:50
forty four hundred and thirty five people in
58:52
the chamber and have an actual debate.
58:55
The American
58:56
people are watching and
58:58
that's a good thing. What
59:01
we're doing is exercising
59:03
our rights
59:05
to vote and have a debate and have
59:07
a discussion
59:08
about the future of this country
59:10
through the decision of choosing a speaker.
59:14
This is not personal. It's not.
59:16
This is
59:16
about the future of
59:17
the country. This
59:19
is about the direction
59:21
the country. American people who are looking at this body
59:23
and wondering why we can pass one point seven
59:25
trillion dollar bills that are
59:27
unpaid for. They can just slide in forty five billion
59:30
dollars for Ukraine and not pay for
59:32
it. Forty billion dollars for emergency
59:34
spending and not pay for a ten percent increase in
59:36
defense spending,
59:38
six an increase in non defense spending and
59:40
not pay for it and not do a thing except
59:42
put language in a bill,
59:45
that prohibits our ability to use the money
59:48
to secure the
59:49
border. That bill gets
59:52
rammed through And
59:53
we know exactly how it gets rammed
59:56
through because the defense
59:59
world and the
1:00:01
non defense world come together and say, you know what?
1:00:03
We're gonna cut a deal, and we'll all go
1:00:06
to the mics, we'll all gonna give speeches,
1:00:08
and the American people are the
1:00:10
big losers. That's what
1:00:12
happens. We know that's what
1:00:14
happens. The Rolls Committee
1:00:16
sits up there and passes a bill
1:00:18
sends it to the
1:00:19
floor, and we have no debate on the floor of this body. We
1:00:22
haven't been able to offer an
1:00:22
amendment on the floor of
1:00:23
this body since May of two
1:00:26
thousand sixteen. Former
1:00:29
leader and I have discussed
1:00:30
this right here. That's
1:00:31
true. But
1:00:32
the fact is this place has
1:00:36
to change It has
1:00:38
to change. And the change
1:00:40
comes by either adopting rules and
1:00:42
procedures that will make us actually
1:00:45
do our job or it comes from
1:00:48
leadership. And people ask me, what do
1:00:49
you want? I want
1:00:51
the tools
1:00:51
or I want the leadership
1:00:54
to stop the swamp
1:00:56
from running over the average
1:00:58
American
1:00:59
every single day. We
1:01:02
can't keep doing this.
1:01:05
I'm gonna sit here until we
1:01:07
figure out how to stop spending
1:01:09
money we don't have. I don't want
1:01:12
any more empty promises. I don't
1:01:14
want anymore
1:01:14
oh, don't worry. Trust us. We'll
1:01:17
do
1:01:17
it. I wanna know that we're gonna be able to
1:01:19
exercise our rights as member of this body to stand
1:01:21
up for the American people and actually
1:01:23
fix this country. And it's not
1:01:25
gonna happen. When we use our men and
1:01:28
women in uniform and
1:01:30
defense and wrap ourselves around that and then
1:01:32
spend more money that we don't
1:01:33
have, weakening that defense, weakening our country in
1:01:35
the process. But that's what we
1:01:37
just did.
1:01:39
Ladies and gentlemen,
1:01:42
I am asking for us to come together and figure out how to solve these
1:01:44
problems. And to do
1:01:46
that, I'm gonna do what I did my
1:01:48
very first act as a member of Congress or as
1:01:50
a congressman-elect
1:01:52
and nominate Jim Jordan for speaker.
1:01:55
Now Jim
1:01:58
has said he doesn't want that nomination, and Jim
1:02:01
has been down nominating Kevin, and I respect that. And again, I
1:02:03
have no personal animates towards Kevin. And
1:02:06
I've worked for the last two months to try to figure
1:02:08
out how to get
1:02:10
the rules to make this place better and we've made progress. But
1:02:12
we do not have the tools or the
1:02:14
leadership yet to stop
1:02:16
the swamp for rolling over the
1:02:18
American
1:02:18
people. Jim has been doing it. He has a track
1:02:20
record of doing it. And for those reasons,
1:02:22
I'm nominating Jim Jordan from Ohio
1:02:24
for speaker of the house representatives.
