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.
