Speaker 1 (00:00):
Nationwide consequences, and it's getting even more urgent as state
Democratic lawmakers have now fled the state entirely. They bolted
to Illinois, Boston, New York on Sunday. It was a
lasticch effort to delay voting on a new congressional map
ordered by President Trump in Texas, and it would give
Republicans another five seats in next year's midterm elections.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
We did not make a decision to come here today.
We did not make a decision lightly, But we come
here today with absolute moral clarity that this is the
absolutely the right thing to do to protect the people
of the state of Texas.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
The move denies the Texas Legislature a quorum, blocking Republican
efforts to pass the new gerrymanderd map during a special session.
Now Governor Greg Abbott is lashing out, accusing Democratic lawmakers
of abandoning their offices. He's threatening their removal. State Attorney
General Ken Paxton goes even further, suggesting the lawmakers should
be arrested, adding quote, we should use every tool at

(01:07):
our disposal to hunt down those who think they're above
the law.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
But I'm undromentto your state representative and y'all know what's
going on right now. This is the fight that we're in.
This is the fight that you're in. We didn't start
this fight. Donald Trump started it. He asked the Texas
legislature to get rid of your voice. So for me,
I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna go to
work to silence you. And there's gonna be a lot

(01:30):
of people if that's what we're gonna do. What they're
gonna say, they ran away. They don't want to go
do their job. If my job is taking away your
right to have a vote that matters, I'm.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Not gonna do it. There's gonna be other people that
are gonna go to the floor.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
It's not gonna be me, and it's not gonna be
my colleagues, because we know what this means. This is
the destruction of America and the destruction of value of
our vote.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
So you see me, look at here. Bye, I'm out,
and I'm here for you.

Speaker 5 (02:14):
Some of these lawmakers are actually in tech excuse me,
in New York right now as well. The governor there
is supposed to meet with them today. Is part of
all of this when it comes to the balance of
power in the House. It comes down to just a
fraction of a margin. Essentially, the margins already raisor thin,
and so if you have five seats that could go
then to the Republican column that might otherwise be in
the Democratic column, that could be the entire ballgame. We've

(02:37):
seen this play out before in New York. Congressman at
Kame Jeffries is very keen on becoming Speaker, became Jeffries,
and so he is eager to do anything he can
to make sure that he holds onto that.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
The thing is, there's actually a history of a quorum
break in in Texas, basically anywhere.

Speaker 6 (02:53):
In the past.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Even the state rangers were called in to use force
to make lawmakers come back. You're nodding, you remember this
back in twenty twenty one, and there is one person,
a political science professor from the texts that tells the
Texas Tribune that there actually aren't that many options to
force them to return, but there are some things, like

(03:15):
they could take a novel aggressive measure trimming the twenty
thousand dollars monthly operating budgets given to House members to
run their office, declaring the seats vacant, and triggering special
elections that's never been used.

Speaker 7 (03:28):
And of course there's the five hundred dollars daily fines
for every day that they're away. But remember when it
comes to things like the twenty thousand dollars budget deficit
or the five hundred dollars daily finds. This is what
fundraising is for, and it's not just going to attract
the interests of people in Texas. Nationally, I think you're
going to have a lot of people who are interested
in this, who are worried about what redistrictiing is doing
to politics, who are going to come in and help

(03:49):
to fund these through packs. So I don't think that's
the real issue. The seat vacancy thing, We've never seen
that before. I don't know actually how that would work.
The vote is supposed to happen today, so we'll get
a little bit more information. But I'm watching you were
mentioning New York also Illinois Governor Pritzker coming in and
hosting a bunch of these Democrats.

Speaker 8 (04:33):
Because the Supreme Court has paved the way for half
the stuff that we see that is going on. Listen,
Donald Trump is a piece Okay, we know that.

Speaker 6 (04:43):
Yes, yes he is his is his, but.

Speaker 8 (04:49):
In a functioning democracy, he still would not be able
to get away with this. But he's been able to
get away with this because the House Republicans are complicit.
He's been able to get away with this because Senate
Republicans are complicit. But most importantly, the courts, especially the
Supreme Court, is complicit. And so I think one of

(05:12):
the places that we have to start is we are
absolutely they are the highest court in the lands and
they have no ethics guard rails. Now you go down
to the lawer courts and they do how much this
does that make?

Speaker 5 (05:26):
Well?

Speaker 8 (05:26):
We know that they're taking money, We have the paper trail,
and they refuse to put guard rails on themselves. So
it's time for us to do it for them.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
You have till three pm, according to the state Attorney General,
to get back to the state. You're facing these fines
every day after. Are you worried that if at a
certain point you're in some sort of violation of the
law right because of these finds, that your seats could
be declared vacant, that special elections could be called.

Speaker 9 (05:54):
There is no violation of the law right now, and
it's a huge violation of the separation of powers for
the govern to think that he can remove members of
the legislature because he doesn't agree with the way that
they're conducting business in their position, it's asinine. The reality
is that these legislators are doing what it takes to
make sure that the voters have an opportunity to hold
Donald Trump accountable in the twenty twenty six midterms. Because

(06:17):
when they push bills to make sure that the richest
people in this country pay less in taxes than the poorest,
and that they're shutting down rural hospitals across this country,
driving up your energy rates, then Democrats have to step
up to make sure that we're doing everything we can
to make your life more affordable, and that means having
the opportunity to hold Republicans accountable in the twenty twenty
six minut term election.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
This is the.

Speaker 10 (06:41):
Primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies,
because we're going to medieval in these people. Here's not
going to free shot on all these networks lying about
the people.

Speaker 9 (06:54):
The people have had a.

Speaker 11 (06:55):
Belly full of it.

Speaker 10 (06:56):
I know you don't like hearing that. I know you're
trying to do everything in the world to stop it,
but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.
And where do people like that go to share the
big line?

Speaker 12 (07:05):
Mega media?

Speaker 10 (07:07):
I wish in my soul, I wish that any of
these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my
task and what is my purpose? If that answer is
to save my country, this country will be saved.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
War Room.

Speaker 13 (07:23):
He's your host, Stephen K.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Bath.

Speaker 10 (07:30):
It's Monday for August and the Earviler twenty twenty five.
There's a lesson there, war Room Posse, about how something
that's so obscure and nobody's focused on, and Abbott doesn't
want to do, and Patrick doesn't want to do, and
none of the Texas establishment wants to do. You give
the war Room Posse, I don't know, two weeks with
a firebrand like Brian Harrison, and then it becomes the
number one political story in the world. On fire. Right now,

(07:55):
we've got a bunch more. We're going to get to
recess appointment fiasco. I'll get to that BLS, the Fed,
this Fed government opening seditious conspiracy. We are jammed on
a Monday. But first things first with the Warren and
by the way, Warren posse has created the ability to
make changes in all of these and UH, we're gonna

(08:15):
get you tons of information so you can become a
force multiplier. First to Texas, Brian Harrison joins us. Brian Uh,
the governor last night finally woke up. He came out,
I think, with a bombshell three o'clock today, and and
and it looks like Packson's vacuum up three o'clock today.
When you call the Texas House in UH, the folks

(08:35):
up there talking big smack talk last night in Illinois,
UH are are going to have their uh are gonna
have their seats vacated. Is this what's going to happen?
Is Abbott finally gonna throw down hard here, sir?

Speaker 6 (08:49):
I don't you know, I don't know. We're gonna see,
we're gonna find out. What I would say is prepare
for a whole bunch of really bad kabookie theater and
smoking mirrors from a lot of elected Republicans in Texas
who are going, I don't want to sound tough and
look like they're taking bold action to reign in these
rogue democrats. Here's the reality. Okay, this is what it
all boils down to. This is anothers a limitless series

(09:12):
of abjet failures by the elected so called Republican leadership
in the Texas government. Here are the facts. If they're
elected Republicans in the state of Texas wanted to have
done redistricting, redistricting would have been done by now. We
could have done this in the regular session. We could
have gotten this done in the first half for the
regular session. And here's the biggest point on the quorum break.

(09:34):
If the elected leadership of the state of Texas had
wanted to stop the quorm break, they had every tool
at their disposal to do it. And just for example,
Steve I was on the war room I think Natalie
was hosting on Wednesday, just a few days ago. Well,
guess what did we have here in the Capitol on Wednesday,
just four short days ago. We had the maps, they
had been filed, We had the Democrats, and we had

(09:59):
a quorum. Well what did our so called Republican speaker
do after only seven minutes with those conditions? The Democrats
are here, we've got a korum, we've got the maps.
What did he do? He adjourned the whole body and
released the Democrats. And I'm not making this up so
that they could go and huddle up and collude in
scheme with Hawkeim Jeffries just a few hours later, who

(10:22):
had flown down from DC to meet with the Democrats
to plan their exodus. So here's the reality. This is
a failure of elected Republicans in the state of Texas.
If the state of Texas had bold Republicans, the type
of bold Republican Republicans that governed with the type of
boldness you see out of the President Trump's first and
second administrations, this quorum break would never have happened. So

(10:44):
I predict on the floor today you're going to see
a lot of theatrics from the House Leadership team. There's
going to be motions and resolutions to strip Democrats of
their titles and take their parking spots away and maybe
messing around with their seniority. This is smoking mirrors. It's
bad theater. Don't let them get away with it. Elected
Republicans hold all the cards. They held all the cards,

(11:04):
and this is another failure, and the voters of Texas
deserve better. But quite frankly, the people, the patriots across
America deserve better because the future of our country is
on the line. The Democrats in Texas are acting like it.
They always act like it. It's pastime elected Republicans in
Texas start acting like they know what time it is
in America.

Speaker 10 (11:24):
With all these theatrics. Today, those guys are in Illinois.
You know, nobody knows who's paying for him. Pritzker's basing
his presidential run on this. The left is finally now
woken up to the fact that the Big twelve. When
I say the Big twelve, I mean five in Texas,
five in Florida, one in Missouri, one in Indiana, and
maybe more to come will change the basic map of

(11:47):
the United States and make the House impervious to take
over by these radical Democrats. What do you recommend to
day three o'clock the governors are laid out and Packson
I think is said they're going to strip them with
all the theatrics Kubooki theatre. What's the reality of actually
forcing some of these guys? Think you need twelve of
them back, and probably a couple in the Senate too.

(12:08):
What can we do? And what can the war and
posse do? Who's been You know, folks, we're fixed banets
right now, and we know people respond mainly at the
tip of a band net to push them along.

Speaker 6 (12:19):
What do you recommend, Well, just don't let the pressure up.
I mean, we got the map out of committee, which
is quite frankly further than I thought we might have done.
And as you and I have discussed on the air,
I credit the war posse and patriots across the country
for forcing action. But the elect of Republican leadership in
the state of Texas. They need to be told, we're
not going to stop watching you. And here's the reality.

(12:39):
We are very very far behind the hate ball the
play on this. The way to get this done was
to have done it by now, was to stop them
from leading beca this is a speaker, and the governor
had all the power they needed to stop them from leaving.
But the fact that they're already gone, here's the reality.
We've got only two weeks left in the special session.
It might necessitate multiple special sessions, but yeah, every tool,
every legal mechanism needs to be on the table to

(13:00):
get them arrested and to bring them back here. You know,
if the vacate idea coming out of the Governor's office,
this is more than we've seen from him in previous
quorum breaks because the reality is we have a long
pre we have precedent in the state of Texas for
democrats being able to do whatever they want. And here's
one thing we haven't talked about. These democrats that fled,
these radical leftists, extremist Marxist democrats, these are the people

(13:24):
that elected the Republican leadership of the Texas House. So
the Republican leadership has lost control. If we had bold,
effective Republican leadership down here, this never would have happened.
And the governor, Lieutenant governor, Speaker, they need to know
right right now, in no uncertain terms, the eyes of
America are on you. We should have done this before now.
We should have done it in regular session. We should
have done it in the first half of the special session.

(13:46):
They never should have been allowed to leave. This is
on you to solve this problem, to get redistrict thing
done so we can save our country.

Speaker 10 (13:53):
Ran, can you hang on. I'm gonna bring Alis to
gross on who's the strategist, who really was the driving
force in the architect before behind the last redistrict aint.
Alex de gross is going to join us. Birch Cold
is our sponsor, so much going on. There's a federal
there's a Federal Reserve governorship seat available. Of course we
think the great Judy Shelton, a audience favorite, should take

(14:17):
that seat. We've deconstructor in the process of deconstructing the
administrative state. Let's now deconstruct the Federal Reserve before we
shut it down. That's what Judy, That's what Judy will
mean is Federal Reserve Governor E. J Antoni as the
new head of Bureau Label Statistics. That's what we're pushing.
He's the guy that almost single handedly took it down

(14:37):
by going through their numbers. Birch Gold dot com. Take
your phone at text Bannon that would be me b
A N N O N at nine eight nine eight
nine eight to get the ultimate guide, which happens to
be free to investigate gold and precious metals in the
age of Trump. Do it today and talk to Philip
Patrick and the team show commercial. Bring Brian Harrison, Alex

(14:58):
de Grasse on the other side.

Speaker 6 (15:00):
Hey as appear.

Speaker 11 (15:16):
Fine, Oh my god, girl, time that was really good.

Speaker 13 (15:22):
You're going dog nas dudding girl.

Speaker 10 (15:25):
Yes, Sydney Sweeney has great splits. Okay, thank you. When
I hit the mic, time to come in. Uh right there,
pretty impressive shooting, right, Alex Dagrasse joins us. Brian Harrison
sticking around, Alex as you know you were out for

(15:48):
a little while. When you left, the thing in Texas
was a nothing burger. Now it's the biggest Polco story
in the world. Once again had tip to the war
and posse.

Speaker 11 (15:57):
Uh.

Speaker 10 (15:58):
You guys went to the ramparts, started lighting people up.
Brian Harrison every day was just given tremendous guidance on this.
How important is this? You were the architect kind of
of the last time we went through this exercise when
you started warning people early on about Tennessee and Missouri
in particularly Florida, that hey, this was very important. Wasn't
getting done If we had not done that in twenty

(16:19):
twenty two, I don't know, man, I don't know where
the thing would have turned out. How important is these
redistrictings because of the massive demographic shifts in the country. Well,
how important are these redistrictings now throughout the nation?

Speaker 13 (16:35):
Well?

Speaker 14 (16:35):
Thanks Steven. And Brian is great, by the way. I've
been him for years and appreciate everything he's doing. And
he's got a lot of fans across the country, and
I think this could be the whole ball game, Steve.
I mean, the last couple mid elections for the House
have been you decided, with various few margins and very
few changes in the number of seats. And so, you know,
while we did great last time, and ultimately the efforts

(16:58):
that we and the posse took the you know, on
to deliver what we were able to deliver last cycle
is obviously what has held the House majority for us,
no doubt. But I will say many people thought, hey,
we can go further. We've got to go further, and
I think the reality is Democrats, you know, they're flying
in Illinois, which is the most jerrymandered state in the
entire country. So I'm not really sure from a pr

(17:20):
or an optics point of view.

Speaker 13 (17:22):
You know, they're going to get out of that.

Speaker 14 (17:24):
Obviously they tried the jerrymander New York and in California
they would if they could, and now they're going to try,
of course, But because they have put in all these
sort of fake commissions and different things like that that
they use as sort of props to try to say
that on jerry Manger, they're a little bit delayed on
if they'll be able to respond, which is why, you know,

(17:45):
the high up people in the party see an opportunity
to try to jam twelve seats, obviously move our margin
up to about fifteen seats, and provide a buffer all
legally for what will be a tough mentor I mean
just historically now.

Speaker 13 (17:58):
I think we feel great on the issues. We've spoken
about it on the show about you know how many
seats that Trump won that are held by Democrats.

Speaker 14 (18:07):
Well, regardless, we can't take anything for chance because the
House majority is the entire ballgame, and everyone understands that.
From President Trump's political team, I think the POSSE understands
that operatives everywhere that that this cycle is the game,
and that's the game that the Posse's been playing for years.

Speaker 13 (18:22):
We've been talking about the House majority.

Speaker 14 (18:24):
No one talks more about the House majority than your show, Steve,
and so I think it's really important. I think Texas
is huge, Indiana, Missouri obviously, Florida the five there, So
twelve would be great because I don't know that they'll
be able to move the numbers in California and New
York this cycle. They will next cycle. But we got
to get through this one and hold the line.

Speaker 10 (18:44):
Let's talk about I want to go back. Yeah. Yeah.
First off, the Democratic polling is pretty anemic, right, I
think they're up to in a generic poll. And remember,
let's take particularly eighteen and I think that's the close analogy. Nancy.
It was all about impeaching Trump. They walked precincts, they

(19:05):
did the hard work. I remember having a meeting one
time at the war room the Breitbart embassy. It was
in the middle of July of eighteen, and I had
some people there and I said, hey, right now is
like I don't know, ninety degrees in Iowa, And I said,
those people are walking districts right now, knocking on doors, canvassing.
Because they are so infuriated with President Trump. They will

(19:27):
do anything to give Nancy Pelosi a majority. And the
first thing, you know, first, the first opportunity impeaching, Like,
oh no, they'll never mention that. I said, you wait,
and of course we saw. I think they won forty seats.
You don't see you see a lot of anger, but
because our policies are working, you don't see a lot
of traction. They're pollings anemic. Therefore, two things. One they

(19:49):
must blunt this. If they don't blunt this, their out
of luck. So they must stop Texas, they must stop Florida, obviously, Indiana, Missouri,
what I call the Big twelve. In addition, in California, Illinois,
New York, they're little jammed WI. Right. I think Illinois
is already fourteen to three. It's the most Germany. Fact.
When Priskers, When Prisker's given his big speech last night,

(20:12):
which is really his launch of his presidential campaign, some
reporter who's I don't think a conserve reporter goes, hey,
how can you these guys here? You're the most gerrymandered
state in the Union. He even know how to answer it, right,
he's just kind of flustered. I take it the structural
impediments to California, New York, and Illinois make it fairly

(20:33):
remote they could get it done. Although Gavin Newsom was
talking about putting it making a special election November, it
would be pretty remote that they could do anything to
do major redistrictings in those three states.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
Sir.

Speaker 14 (20:44):
Yeah, So New York is talking about twenty twenty eight,
and I think Kathy Hogel's hosting some of these Texas Democrats, right,
now they're actually live right now. I would ask if
the control room later a camera, if you put up
the map for the posse to see of the Illinois
I mean, any voter looking at that says, this is
the craziest thing. And you've got line a seed all

(21:05):
across the entire state. It makes absolutely no sense at all.
It's totally gerrymandered. So they're pretty much maxed out there
because they did that. And then with California as similar,
they have to change the state constitution. K News talking
about some type of special election or referendum, but I
think he's got about a ninety five days one hundred days,
you know, until November. So that's sort of confusing how
he gets that done.

Speaker 13 (21:25):
But all these guys kind of one up each other.
Pritzker knew them. I mean it's kind of interesting.

Speaker 14 (21:29):
And obviously, like you said earlier, the numbers are in
the gutter or the Democrat brand is a disaster. I
think operationally they're sort of shattered. You look at the
cash on hand advantages that Republicans have when you include
President Trump's committees NRCC, RNC, I mean, their fundraising is
in the gutter. You've got these scam packs on the
Democrat side that are grifting, taking hundreds of millions of dollars.

(21:52):
There's a couple of reports out about that which is
kind of interesting using Act Blue and only like two
percent of the money actually goes into the fight. So
it's very interesting. They've got major, major, kind of structural
problems on their side. And so, you know, I feel
optimistic about wherever we are as a party, but you
can't leave anything the chance. You got to scoop what
we can legally and get that firewall, because again, we

(22:15):
could be talking about one two seat majority again.

Speaker 13 (22:19):
Right and we just need one what would be Jeffries.

Speaker 10 (22:23):
They're going to look, they've blown the opportunity to do
this easy way, so now they've got to do it
the hard way. What is your recommendation to because there's
been some hesitancy, as there always is in the establishment,
to want to get down a dirty on these fights,
what is your recommendation to the leadership in Texas as
these guys as it reconvenes at three o'clock and the

(22:44):
Democrats are in Illinois. Uh And I don't know why
they would go to a Yankee state, but hey, I
guess the Democrats, you know, no better than folks down
at Texas. What's your recommendation to Governor Abbott, to the
Attorney General Paxson leftan Governor Patrick and leadership in the
House and down there, what's your recommendation.

Speaker 14 (23:02):
So I would say that we either get two years
the government country here or we have four. And this
is the once in a lifetime, you know, transformational period
for the country. You look at what President Trump has
done in six months. We need to do everything we
can legally, nothing illegally, legally to ensure that we hold
the House majority, because that's it is.

Speaker 13 (23:21):
When we lose it, it's done.

Speaker 14 (23:23):
Everything ends, Steve impeachment, investigations, no more bills, no more cuts.

Speaker 13 (23:27):
No more anything.

Speaker 14 (23:28):
So we either get two years or we get four
and we'll deal with everything you know in twenty twenty
eight and we'll reset and get a handle on that.
But we have to be thinking twenty twenty six mid
term margins in the House and how we're going to
be able to continue to pass bills.

Speaker 13 (23:43):
That's it, that's all that matters.

Speaker 14 (23:44):
So we have to go shoulder to the whatever we
can do, whatever the envelope. Legally, we were able to
push could be make or break for the entire country.
This isn't just about Texas obviously, or anything else. This
is about will we be able to, you know, ensure
the Golden Age and enact the mandate of the American
people over the next four years, because if we lose
it in the House, it's it.

Speaker 13 (24:05):
I mean, there's no more anything.

Speaker 10 (24:07):
Of course, Steve, Alex de Grass, you're back in the saddle.
Where do people go for your content? Sir?

Speaker 14 (24:15):
Thank you Steve, and thank you Brian Harrison. So I
met to Grass eighty one on x Getter Truth. Thank
you guys, will be in touch more about everything going on.
And I think this is really important that people call
provide positive reinforcement. I think to folks that we're really
counting on them and this is a nationwide thing, it's
not just Texas.

Speaker 13 (24:32):
So thank you guys.

Speaker 10 (24:35):
Thank you Alex, appreciate you, Brian Harrison. Make us smart?
What should be looking for today? And what do you
need the war and posse to do on this Monday
for August here over Lord, twenty twenty five to make
sure this thing happens?

Speaker 6 (24:48):
What we should be looking for today? Again, we're so
far behind the a ball. I mean, this isn't like
we fumble the elective Republicans in Texas fumbled the football.
It's like the elective Republicans in Texas handed the ball
to the other team and said go run, and then
we're going to protec to catch you. I mean, that's
how bad this is. So what we need right now
are not tough words. We don't need strongly written House resolutions.

(25:08):
We need action. The Democrats have to know that something
is different this time, unlike every other time they've done
exactly the same thing and faced no consequences. Because again,
the Republican, nominally Republican Speaker of the Texas House, he
owes all of these Democrats. They're his power center because
it's the Democrat caucus that elected him in the first place.

(25:29):
And that's why that, like the elected Republicans in Texas,
they need to know that they've already dropped the ball
in the worst possible way. And these Democrats, if you
watched their press conference last night, these guys are acting
like nothing that's coming out of the governor's mansion or
the House leadership Twitter feed is surprising to them. They're
acting like they expected all of this and there's good

(25:52):
reason for it. They've never been punished before when they have,
you know, left their post and fled this state to
try and stop us. And last time they of the state,
it was something it was over something far less consequentially,
it was an election. Integrity one single election integrity build
down here. They know that the future, as your last guest,
you know, Alex, and you just got on talking about
the future of the United States Congress hangs in the balance.

(26:15):
If we're talking about a one or two seat margin,
this five seats could absolutely swing that. So we need
bold action, not what we usually said see down here
from the liberal Austin UNI Party, which is bold sounding
words and strongly worded tweets and very firmly written press statements.

(26:36):
We need action. They need to be arrested if they
need to be brought back.

I've heard. Surely this isn't true, but I've heard that
one of the candidate's running from US office wants to
be different. Now, I'm wondering how you'd want to be
different from the longest serving Senate leader in American history.

Speaker 10 (27:51):
I'm wondering.

Speaker 12 (27:54):
How you'd want to be different and supportive of President Trump.
Let me just tell you a little quiz WI your
Fentucki's two Republican senatives supports President Trump?

Speaker 13 (28:10):
The mothers.

Speaker 12 (28:13):
It's actually me.

Speaker 11 (28:14):
I am so glad to see that Mitch meccado bothered
to show up today. But you know, I'm really confused.
I thought this was fancy farm. I didn't realize this
was bring your boys the workday through Here, can honestly
tell me that it's a good thing to have a
senior citizen who freezes on national television during his press

(28:38):
conferences as our US senator. It seems to me maybe,
just maybe Mitch's time to leave the Senate was a
long time ago. I mean, for goodness sakes, a lot
of us here at this picnic talked a lot us
back about Joe Biden and how old he was and
how out of touch he was with the American people.

(29:00):
So why is it that you all get so defensive
when I talk about a man who's older than Biden
just as mentally compromised and holds the same positions on
Biden on amnesty, Ukraine funding, and his hatred for Trump.

Speaker 10 (29:18):
Wow, okay, let's talk reality. There's a big article over
the weekend, I think it was in some and four.
I'll make sure I get up a HEMP post a
yet about how John Thune is running the apparatus of McConnell.
He's just McConnell's boy and just running apparatus. Let me
be brutally frank, the we're not having recess appointments because
of John Thune and Polly Pockets Speaker Johnson. Speaker Johnson

(29:40):
obviously lied to the President over the weekend about the
mechanics and the constitution, all of it. But and here's
the reason they don't want Thune and the McConnell apparatus
do not want President Trump's folks in office every day now,
and that you just heard Alex de grasse right there.
You either get two years of the Golden Age, where

(30:01):
you get four years if we lose the House, it's
full stop. Yeah, President Trump can still do some executive orders.
Obviously the executive branch, particularly the Article two powers are
very powerful. But you're gonna have investigations, You're gonna have impeachments,
You're gonna have all of it. This is why we
have made it as we did in twenty two, right,

(30:22):
the thing that has to be focused on in the
summer of the summer of twenty twenty five, and you've
made history. This story now in Texas is the biggest
political story in the world. Why two weeks ago is dead,
Why the establishment doesn't want the Redistrict king. You know
this in the Senate the same way every day is

(30:43):
like a month. A month is like a year. And
right now, because we didn't really go into recess and
John Thune lied to the president and Polly Pockets Johnson
lied to the president. We don't have this and so
you're not gonna have it in September because September is
another whole fight. We're gonna start tomorrow, folks. They're working
on right now John Thune with the McConnell apparatuscus, he's

(31:05):
working on a nine thousand page omnibus. Now they're going
to say, what's a minibus omnibus there? And they want
a cr for the whole year with a two traion
dollar deficit in it. The games don't stop. And Mitch
McConnell has the stones to sit there and say, who's
the The reason the country is in bed a shape

(31:25):
as it is in is because Mitch McConnell in the globalists,
in the neoliberal neo cons of Mitch McConnell, who made
himself wealthy, He came in and had like fifty bucks
in the bank, who made himself wealthy, caltown to the donors,
coltowing to Wall Street, and the corporatist went along for
the ride with the radical Democrats. They never fought him
and no I was there. He does not support President Trump.

(31:48):
He hates President Trump and does everything he can do
behind the scenes. Make Storry Thornton. The reason we have
pro forma right now recess, which is an harassment when
you're out of power. I fully agree that the party
out of power, like the Republicans did it with Obama.
One hundred per cent agree, you have to do it.

(32:08):
If a Democrats had the Senate and doing it, no problem.
That's part of the structural techniques that we have, some
of these customs and traditions when the party in power,
this is the Senate with the McConnell operation, with dune
as the as the as, the pretty boy up front,
the spokes I call him the spokes model, He's the

(32:30):
spokes model, are showing they don't trust President Trump and
they don't trust his nominees. This situation with the recess
is a humiliation. They have lied to the president consistently.
This was so easy to do. And you know what
we have in the month of August nothing and in
September you're not going to get one person passed. Why

(32:52):
because you're going to be in a firestorm about funding
the government by midnight on the thirty September. They'll get
to it in October. And in October, I think in
the first week October there's another recess and they have
to at that time do recess appointments because they're talking
about on the margin, we're going to go to the
nuclear option, which is, you know, take a couple hours
off here that John Thune lied to the President United States.

(33:14):
And if John Thune's got anything say about it, call me.
You're a liar. You lied to the president to his face.
Polly Pockets hit out in Israel, right, hit out in Israel. Uh,
and then lie to the President United States about the
constitutionality of this. Mike Lee was one hundred percent correct
the entire time. But what are we sitting here now?
Pro former the humiliation of pro forma recess because they

(33:36):
don't trust the president United States appointments full stop. Nate
Morris joins us now, Nate, I don't know to sit
there and have McConnell bald face lie he's not a
support of the president. Everybody. It's an open secret in Washington, DC.
And he sits there and the folks in Kentucky. No
offense that are applauding Mitch Mcconmwell, you should be ashamed

(33:57):
of yourself. Mitch McConnell has a shame on you. I
think his national polling is at nine percent. The Commonwealth
of Kentucky has been humiliated by Mitch McConnell's acts. The
country's in the shape it's in, and President Trump's got
to turn it around. Because Mitch McConnell, the longer serving
loader or in the thing, you had every opportunity to fight,

(34:19):
and he did, and he rolled over and he made
a fortune, made a fortune one with his connections with
the Chinese Communist Party, and number two all the backroom
deals he did for himself to make himself wealthy for
a guy had fifty bucks, a country lawyer that had
fifty bucks in his account when he came to office. Nate,
how are we going to take the trash out with
this guy? Because he is trash.

Speaker 11 (34:41):
See this is what this old campaign for the US Senate.
You may remember we watched about a month ago, and
we are running in Kentucky to replace Mitch McConnell as
an outsider, as someone who's not part of the political establishment.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
Steve.

Speaker 11 (34:56):
You know, I'm a businessman. I'm an entrepreneur, done very
very well in the private sector. I don't need a
job like this. But I felt like I had to
get in this race, Steve, because I see the two
guys that were in it, and they were nothing but
puppets for Mitch McConnell. This is Andy Barr and Daniel Cameron,
and I wanted to showcase that we can have another
choice and Kentucky's long overdue, as President Trump says, to

(35:21):
rid Kentucky of the stench of Mitch. And that's what
this campaign has been all about. And over the weekend
at Fancy Farm, Seeve, you wouldn't believe it. Mitch McConnell.
As soon as he gets to the stage, what does
he do? He attacks us? And his attack was, who
doesn't want to be like me? Who doesn't want to
be like me? That's his attack. And I look at

(35:44):
that in two things.

Speaker 10 (35:45):
I look at that. Number One, Mitch, I don't want
to be like you. I don't want to be the.

Speaker 11 (35:49):
Longest serving anything. And that's the fundamental problem. You're bragging
about being the longest serving leader in history. That's the problem,
and that's why Kentuckian's are so angry. That's why America
is angry, and that's why people hate politicians in this
country is because of that kind of thinking. And then
I look at the arrogance, the arrogance of Mitch McConnell

(36:09):
to say, how dare you?

Speaker 13 (36:10):
You don't want to be like me?

Speaker 11 (36:11):
Look how great I am as Mitch McConnell. And that's
the hubris and arrogance that's gotten our country into so
much trouble. See, these career politicians, as you know, have
driven our country off a cliff. And I have the
opportunity to make a couple speeches over the weekend, and
my two opponents, Andy Barr Daniel Cameron, the first thing
they do after I quit speaking is they go to

(36:33):
the press and cry like babies and defending Mitch McConnell.
They defend them. Oh, Nate's speech is so dark, and
Nate's speech is so tough.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
You know.

Speaker 13 (36:43):
See, sometimes the truth hurts.

Speaker 11 (36:45):
The truth hurts, and we've been truthful in this campaign,
and it's uncomfortable for a lot of the establishment. The
people that were clapping in that room, because that was
an establishment crowd. Look, Steve I was behind enemy lines
at that speech, and I was willing to go there
and have that conversation for the people of Kentucky because
this is their seat. It's not Mitch's seat. This belongs

(37:07):
to the people. And these two weak men, these are
two very, very.

Speaker 13 (37:11):
Weak men, Andy Barr and Daniel Cameron.

Speaker 11 (37:14):
They just continue to cry to the press and complain,
and not one of them, not one of them, is
willing to call out Mitch McConnell's record because they're owned
by Mitch. They owe everything to Mitch McConnell and Steve.
You wouldn't believe it. Over and over again, at every
event during Fancy Farm leading up to Fancy Farm, the
establishment was giving standing ovation after standing ovation. They give

(37:37):
this guy awards and just all this kudos. You know,
it's just this echo chamber of establishment people talking to
each other. And one of my opponents do they keep
standing up over and over again for these standing ovations
and seem I'm proud I was the only person I
believed that was sitting down the entire time and say
I'm not standing up for this. This is exactly the

(37:58):
reason I'm running in Kentucky is because this is about
the people of Kentucky, that they need a leader that
represents them and is not willing just to continue on
like we've had the last forty years of building the
establishment centered around the cult of Mitch McConnell and Kentucky.
And that's what's gotten this state and this country in

(38:19):
so much trouble.

Speaker 4 (38:20):
And you know that state.

Speaker 10 (38:22):
In the heat of battle over the weekend, he departed
to go to Kentucky because he's afraid of you and
your presentation at Fancy Farm. Now he said he was
eligible to come back, but it's one of the reasons
that his boy, his spokesmodel, because he's running the McConnell apparatus,
His spokesmodel, John Thune said and did everything he possibly
could to stumble around and eventually put up false deals

(38:43):
and lie to the President United States about going into
a true recess, not pro former recess and getting recess appointments,
and polly pockets from Israel called into and lied to
the president. They're consistent liars. McConnell is a disgrace. Don't
take it from me. Taking from his polland lois polling
of any elected official in the country, a Republican official

(39:05):
in the country, just a disgrace. The country can't stand
this guy. They hate him for a reason. The country's
in as bad as shape because he had every opportunity
to stand and fight, and all he did is make
money for himself, money for the donors. Cowtow to the
donor class and the globalists. Nate people want to know
where they go to find all this footage from the weekend,
where they go to find out more about your campaign.

Speaker 11 (39:28):
Thank you, Steve, as you know I need your help.
We are up against the McConnell machine here in Kentucky
and nationally. Please go to Natemorris dot com become part
of this campaign, donates to this campaign, come and follow
us on x at Nate Morris.

Speaker 13 (39:44):
We need your support, We need your help.

Speaker 10 (39:46):
We are going to do this.

Speaker 11 (39:47):
We are going to take out the trash finally in
Kentucky and in Washington, DC. And I don't want to
be anything like bitch McConnell. This is the guy who
supported amnesty, who sabotage President Trump every chance he yet,
who put lawfare on President Trump, and who blamed him
for January sixth. We cannot have a person that he
picks to go to the United States Senate to fill

(40:09):
the seat. So I thank you very much Steve for
letting me be on today.

Speaker 10 (40:16):
Nate a great, great job in going into the lions
Den and fancy farms, fantastic, great speeches. You're a fire
breather and a man of courage, encourages, courageous, contagious. Thank you, sir,
Appreciate you.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
Thank you.

Speaker 10 (40:29):
A tough one in Kentucky. And this weekend you saw
the McConnell machine in all of its glory in Washington,
d C. It is a disgrace that we're not in
real recess right now, not this pro former recess and
the President Trump's one hundred I think in sixty one
hundred and sixty nominees are left in hang fire until October.

(40:50):
Short break back in the Monthent we originally swin. Let's
take down there, he's your host. Stephen K. Bath, one
of the engine room, sends me something that's quite smart.
They say they actually do trust Trump. They trusting to

(41:11):
drain the swamp. That's why they don't always appoint he's in.
I think it's a very smart way to say it.
This was a fiasco over the weekend on this recess
appointments one hundred percent of the blame goes to leadership
in the Senate, in the House. This morning, we should
be starting a real recess, and President Trump should have
done a recess appointments as the Constitution allows for his

(41:36):
one hundred and sixty. I think you can't do judges,
you can do us attorneys. I believe he get around
the blue slip problem at least on an interim basis,
and put the rest of the second and third tier
folks you have to have in to run the government.
Days are like months, months or weeks are like years. Right,
this is incredible. President Trump is now going to be

(41:59):
October and they're all saying, oh, yeah, we'll handle us
as soon as we get back. No, you won't. There's
only ten legislative days in September. I think ten or twelve.
It's all going to be consumed about a firefight. We're
going to have, folks. I've told you this. They are
behind the scenes trying to come up with an omnibus,
and this one we're going to have to go to
the wall because it just it's going to be too much.

(42:21):
It's going to be too much. We you know, everybody
kind of sucked it in for the cr which we
never should have done because poly Pockets couldn't get his
act together. We had horrible Biden Pelosi for all this
fiscal year. That's all their numbers. That's why you're going
to have a two train dollar deficit, even with the
great numbers coming in from from the tariffs, President Trump's tariffs.

(42:43):
And what they want to do is another massive spending
bill with no pocket recisions, no recisions, no impoundments. They
don't want any of that. They want to just continue
the orgy of spending, and so all September is going
to be that, and then they'll get to and here's
a solution. We're going to go to a nuclear option.
It's carved a few moments of time off of this. No,

(43:04):
if you'd done the plan that we recommended in the
next forty eight hours seventy two hours, all of President
Trump's appointments would have gone through and people would have
gone to work by like Wednesday. That's two months. Two
months are like years here. They understand that, and that's
why they don't want them. They can give you every

(43:25):
seres call your senator and say why are you not
on a real recess? Bombard Dune's office say, why did
you lie to the president, Why did you not do
michae Lee's deal? Why are we not Why are we
in a pro former recess? It is unheard of except
for McConnell's time in the first term. This is why
mcconnaugh hated Trump. He would never go on a real recess.

(43:46):
Why they didn't trust President Trump in his appointments. This
is as obvious and this is why the folks in Kentucky.
You got to understand reality. McConnell hates Trump. McConnell hates
MAGA and we hate him back. He is a true
scumback against one of the reasons this town runs like
it runs. And how's a country lawyer of no particular talent?
Look at Mitch McConnell, of no particular talent. How does

(44:10):
he uh? And by the way, the reason all the
guys around him all they love him because he brought
him all to power, they've all made a fortune. And
not supporting the policies of the country. They don't support maggat.
They're not America first, they're not nationalists, they're globalist. Look
at the Ukraine. Why has he been retired as Senate leader?
Remember this audience in the fight to get him removed

(44:31):
on the Ukraine Bill years ago, when this audience stayed
up all night and heard the speeches on the Senate
floor of everybody opposed it, and Mitch mcconn's still trying
to jam it through. When he lost, he realized the
game was over. Right now, we're getting victory after victory,
and the victories are coming because you're putting your shoulder
to the wheel once again. Once again, you're human agency.

(44:55):
This Texas thing would have never happened the established. Now,
the establishment in Austin and the Republican establishment in this
great state of Texas is worse than the establishment in Washington, DC.
Worse Why because Texas is the railhead of the MAGA movement.
Trump won by fourteen points after thesaurus for years with Breitbart,

(45:17):
remember Andrew all of us. We set up Breitbart Texas,
the great Brandon Derby, all of it. Why to to
bring to reveal to the nation of this thing called
immigration and open borders. And the Republican established down there
fought you every step of the way, like they thought
they wanted this thing to go to bed on the redistricting.
Why they don't want Trump to have a five or

(45:37):
ten seat cushion. It's uncomfortable for them. Msmec says bad
things about them. They don't like that. They can't go
to the club, right, They can't go make money because
they're making money with a bunch of progressive Democrats and
folks from overseas. Yep. Got to speak truth to power here.

(45:58):
But you've changed it. And that's why we're going to
force them today to take action. Not not no strongly
lettered of strongly worded letters or anything like that. Take action.
Go arrest these democrats, put them in jail or take
their seats away. I don't care put them in jail
or take their seats away. I'm indifferent. But let's get
it past today and show people if you're gonna play

(46:19):
games like that, there's consequences for playing games, just like
there should be consequences for Polly Pockets. You know, Polly
Pockets all fraid you know why he did. Oh, if
we call the houseback, they'll vacate the chair. You didn't
have to call the house back. That was a bald
face line. You should read the constitution or talk to
somebody about the constitution. It is a crime for President

(46:40):
Trump and the Trump movement right now and saving this country.
We are not on a recess. And his one hundred
and sixty appointees that are left in hang fire, and
these people's career, they can't do anything. They're just sitting
there and hang fire. They should be in office tomorrow
and Wednesday and at work. But no, no, no, no,
no no, can't do that. Can't do the gotta do it.

(47:03):
Think about the absurdity, this absurd want to pro form
on This is absurd, This is absurd and its offensive.
And if they think they're going to do the smoke
in Arizona, nobody will pay attention. But hey, the waror
is pay attention to the warre and Posse's paying attention. Thune,
you're nothing but a spokes model for the broken and
corrupt and incompetent McConnell machine. And this is why the

(47:25):
Senate is dysfunctional. This is why the sentence dysfunctional. You know,
the big beautiful bill, Senate bill doesn't show me anything
more than your incompetence because there's so much in there
that's worse than the house built. And we had to
do it because we had to get it through, to
get those tax cuts to supply side tax cuts, disgrace,
home tidle Locke. Make sure ninety percent of your net

(47:48):
worth tied up in your home. In fact, every dream
you've ever had is tied up in that home. Make
sure that some bad ome break can't get their hands
on the article, intelligence cyber, a rogue account or lawyer,
maybe a relative that doesn't have your best interests in mind.
