values crises in this country.
2:45
Never before we had

2:51
Zip. Never before have we had
2:53
a leader of that sake opposition.
2:57
That. Is so beloved by the very
2:59
people who claim to want to
3:01

5:34
Nes discounts. Again, it's pretty Morningstar
5:36
Com and ordinances spelled ordnanc.com Now
5:38
is the time with all the
5:40
chaos breaking loose to make sure
5:42
your arms and prepared to stop
5:45
the riot, especially if you live
5:47
in an anarcho tyranny part of
5:49
the country. So. Folks
5:51
that there is a lot going
5:53
on. I'm obviously earlier today. Nancy.
5:57
And Mtg announced that they are.
5:59
Ah, pushing their motion to vacate on
6:01
the floor. What that means is they have
6:03
a motion to vacate the chair. What
6:06
will likely happen is first
6:09
they will vote on the
6:12
motion to table it. So in other words, a
6:14
yes vote is to kill the motion to vacate.
6:16
That's a bad vote. A
6:19
no vote is a good vote, but we'll see
6:21
what happens next week, but here's the deal. We
6:25
act as if nothing is in our
6:27
hands. My colleagues are like, yeah, we
6:29
just kind of sit by, watch the
6:31
invasion, watch, I mean you see the
6:33
invasion in multiple ways, the legal immigration
6:35
we've let in, the foreign students to
6:37
these universities, obviously the
6:39
border, obviously the inflation, obviously
6:41
the indoctrination, and yet we
6:44
have a speaker that
6:47
gave away every leverage point,
6:50
literally worked with Hakim Jeffries
6:52
and Chuck Schumer to give
6:54
them everything they wanted plus
6:56
interest with nothing in return.
7:00
So this is not something
7:02
that's not in our hands. I'm
7:05
gonna tell you how this is gonna go down. There
7:08
are two ways this can go down. Because
7:12
there's a big news story, probably
7:15
the biggest news of the day, I think if I
7:17
had to give you the top news story, probably
7:20
along with maybe number two or one
7:23
is Biden, the
7:26
CBS report that Biden is thinking
7:28
of letting in Gaza refugees. But
7:31
again, that's related to this story that
7:33
Johnson gave up all of our leverage
7:36
with government funding, the NDAA,
7:39
the Pfizer reauthorization, the Ukraine
7:41
bill, to check
7:43
this power. So now Biden could
7:45
literally do anything he wants. Now
7:48
there is another funding deadline September 30th,
7:50
it's far away, but if
7:53
we don't change anything, we
7:55
are never going to stop this. He
7:58
will grant amnesty to all illegals. and
8:00
why not? Why not bring in
8:02
Gaza refugees? What's gonna stop
8:04
him? We
8:07
have never had the UNI party so
8:11
vividly on display and I think this could
8:13
be a teachable moment because frankly as you
8:15
well know it's always been this way whether
8:17
you see it or not. So
8:20
of course the big news story is that Kim
8:22
Jefferies vows to save Mike Johnson.
8:24
He put out a statement, by
8:26
the way, signed by his entire
8:28
leadership team. So he's the minority
8:30
leader but as well as the
8:34
whole leadership slate, Catherine
8:36
Clark, she's the whip
8:38
from Massachusetts
8:40
and Pete Aguilar from California
8:42
who's the conference chair, they
8:45
all announced that they would help Mike
8:48
Johnson win support.
8:50
Now again let me just start from the beginning
8:52
for those of you who don't follow this so
8:55
closely but want to understand what's going on. So
8:58
the reason why conservatives had
9:00
leverage to get rid of
9:02
a bad speaker is because
9:04
typically Democrats, no
9:07
matter what, will always vote for their leader to be
9:09
a speaker if you have a vote. Now normally
9:11
there's never a risk of the
9:13
Democrats electing their speaker because it's
9:17
not a matter of a plurality. You
9:19
need a majority of those present and
9:21
voting in the chamber to secure
9:23
the speakership. So what typically happened is let's
9:26
say you have a narrow majority, a handful
9:28
of conservatives are like, we're not voting
9:31
for the speaker so you
9:33
support the motion to vacate and
9:36
you have a vacant chair because what
9:38
would happen is, let
9:40
me just make up numbers here, typically let's say all the
9:42
Democrats which are now 213, 213 Dems
9:48
would vote for
9:50
Hakeem Jeffries. There
9:53
is right now 217 Republicans because you
9:55
have vacancies there should be 220 but
9:57
these idiots decided to
10:01
just leave their seats. So
10:03
217, so let's
10:05
say 20 conservatives support
10:09
the motion to vacate. So
10:12
typically, what would happen is you have
10:14
every Democrat plus the 20 conservatives, so
10:20
Johnson would lose his speakership. Now,
10:23
you say he would run again, but the thing
10:25
is he needs to get a majority. So even
10:27
though you have whatever,
10:30
however many, the overwhelming number of Republicans
10:32
in the conference support him, he
10:35
needs a majority on the floor, and he can't
10:37
get it if there's any dissension, certainly in the
10:39
slow majority of Republicans.
10:42
Now, the Democrat doesn't become a speaker
10:44
because they might have a plurality with
10:46
the Republicans divided, but they
10:49
need a majority too, so it's deadlocked until
10:52
the Republicans would agree to unite behind a
10:54
speaker. So for
10:57
the first time, Hakeem Jeffries announced
10:59
that Democrats will vote
11:02
to replenish whatever Republican votes they
11:04
lose from the Freedom Caucus in
11:06
support of Johnson. They
11:09
will – he will supply Johnson
11:12
with Democrat votes to
11:15
oppose the motion to vacate or support
11:17
the motion to kill the table, the
11:19
motion to vacate. However, whatever form that
11:21
takes next week, thereby
11:24
giving Johnson that majority. So
11:27
everyone could see out in the open what
11:29
we knew all along is that he is
11:31
working hand in glove. It's not like a
11:33
pale pastel version of the Democrats, a
11:36
weaker, you know, the lesser
11:38
of the two evils. No. This
11:41
is a man that is worse than
11:43
a Democrat because they're giving
11:45
the Democrats everything they want,
11:50
but Republicans get to blame for it. So
11:53
it's the best of all worlds, and
11:55
I warned you guys as I said, if
11:57
I were a Democrat, I would rather Johnson –
12:00
than one of their own is Speaker. Because
12:03
you get what you want, but you
12:05
don't get the blowback. Imagine the blowback
12:07
that you're waving Ukraine flags on the
12:09
House floor, giving money to Hamas, giving
12:12
money to the grift over
12:14
there, and then everything going on
12:16
with the economy, with the Hamas
12:18
buddies setting
12:20
our college campuses on fire in
12:22
the invasion. There's not a lot to
12:25
really like about Democrat governance. But
12:27
now Republicans take ownership of it. So
12:31
this is out in the open. I don't want to
12:33
hear this business of, oh, we're going
12:35
to wait until November. No, no, no.
12:38
This is a uni party. The
12:40
general election is meaningless if you
12:42
don't engage in the primaries. The
12:45
timing of what Massey and MTG are doing,
12:47
that gives them a lot of credit, is
12:50
perfect. Because we still have
12:52
most states are still going to have primaries.
12:55
Next week is the next one. It's in Indiana.
12:58
There's several open Republican seats.
13:01
There's this guy, Congressman Baird, who's a rhino.
13:03
I forget which district it might be district
13:05
for. There's a challenger, support the challenger. We
13:09
need to know who is committed
13:11
to supporting Johnson, who
13:14
supports the motion to vacate. They need
13:16
to be asked this question. So if you
13:18
have an open seat, you
13:21
have a primary going on. You
13:23
need to find ways to get them on record.
13:27
You have a Republican congressman. You call them
13:29
up, and you ask them, are
13:32
you supporting Johnson or not? And
13:34
when they say they're supporting – if they say they're supporting Johnson,
13:36
here's the talking point
13:39
you need to push – so they're going to say, well,
13:41
we have a narrow majority. What do
13:43
you want from him? This has nothing
13:45
to do with what Johnson is doing.
13:49
A narrow majority would just be a reason why,
13:51
hey, because you have a narrow
13:53
majority, and if you have a few Republicans not going along
13:55
with something, We can't
13:57
affirmatively pass a good bill. But
14:00
that's not an excuse for. Working
14:02
with Schumer in our team. Jeffries
14:05
to needlessly. Put.
14:07
Bed bills on the floor very
14:09
carefully manipulated to have the exact
14:12
amendments that they want. And
14:15
put out. And bought away by the way
14:17
to see you know. You. Don't
14:19
even with the narrow majority did. Did you know
14:21
that the border Security bill. The. Real.
14:23
I forget the the bill number, but
14:25
it's a rejuvenated version of each are
14:28
to repack. His version is actually got
14:30
every single republican vote. Okay,
14:33
did pass. And I see
14:35
it again. Five democrats because you're democrats and
14:37
vulnerable districts didn't want to see be seen
14:39
as voting against border security so it as
14:41
see past that. Now it will go nowhere.
14:45
Because these thirty degree in
14:47
sword that it wasn't tied.
14:50
To the Ukraine Bill. Suits
14:52
make. Sure you're you're when you
14:54
see tell staffer of your republican rep.
14:57
Zip. This is nonsense. It's.
15:01
Also, nonsense that. Would
15:03
have caught him to feisal. Ironically,
15:05
it's the unit party would
15:07
some since supporting the Democrats
15:09
except the one area. Where
15:12
there's some democrats. And
15:14
Conservatives agree. On the need
15:16
for. Size. A warrantless surveillance.
15:19
Who. Has a check on its power
15:21
with the required warren pursuant to
15:23
the Fourth Amendment. We.
15:27
Had was like sixty democrats supported
15:29
that. Johnson was
15:31
literally the tie vote to voted
15:33
to able to pass. Suits.
15:37
This has nothing to do with what
15:39
size the majority is. Johnson
15:42
supports the Democrat agendas, supports giving it
15:44
to them for free so that you
15:46
give them their agenda, then you ask
15:49
for at least one or two other
15:51
parallel things And words hurts. know, But.
15:55
Then there's the final aspect of this. That.
15:59
Everyone's gonna talk. And I've
16:02
been taught warning about this for eight freaking years.
16:06
And that is the men who were
16:09
supposed to take over the party so
16:11
that we don't have this, so
16:14
that we are not giving
16:16
the Democrats everything they want to. We were
16:19
sick of it. We had the Bushes and
16:21
Dole and the Romney's and McCain's and all
16:23
these people, the Cheney's, and we
16:25
were sick of it. And
16:27
that's why Trump was elected. Not
16:30
only is he not giving voice and
16:37
emboldening his
16:40
own ally, MTG, trying to get
16:42
rid of Johnson,
16:45
but he's talking it down, saving him. And
16:50
let's face it, I'm sorry to tell you,
16:52
but it's open source. You don't need to
16:54
trust me. He supported all three betrayals. In
16:58
fact, so much so, did you
17:01
know that last night Trump randomly
17:03
tweeted out or whatever that website
17:05
he has, True Social, an
17:07
article by Mark Thiessen of The Washington Post
17:09
in Op-Ed from February. So
17:12
Op-Ed was a couple months ago titled, If
17:14
Republicans Want to Help Trump, They Should Pass
17:16
Ukraine Aid Now. Trump
17:21
has supported that. So
17:24
you literally have everything we pointed
17:26
out to you for years that
17:30
what's going on is worse than ever. It's more
17:32
unpopular than ever. It doesn't have
17:34
to be this way. It is so
17:36
easy to fight back against it because the
17:38
majority of the public doesn't support Hamas, doesn't
17:40
support inflation, doesn't support open borders. It
17:44
didn't have to be this way. But
17:46
rather than Trump draining the
17:49
swamp, he
17:51
gave his Backing.
17:53
He delivered his robust, impenetrable
17:55
support from the base of
17:57
the party into the head..
18:00
Hands of the very people that his they
18:02
said they wanted to get rid of to
18:04
drain. I'm
18:06
sorry. This. Is the way
18:08
it is. So. My
18:10
colleagues don't take the fight to trump himself.
18:12
This week we get nothing. There's two ways
18:14
as a good goes down. Business.
18:17
Elites. There's two ways that this could go
18:19
down. Number
18:21
One Trump continues to support my
18:23
Johnson is that is the case.
18:25
It takes the pressure off these
18:27
guys and what you're going to
18:30
basically has his. I'm.
18:33
I'm going to make up a number. Let's
18:35
say thirty republicans. Vote for
18:37
the most in to vacate. So.
18:41
All. Hakeem Jeffries has to
18:44
Do is delivered says thirty
18:46
democrats. To. Johnson
18:48
my to replace them. Now
18:52
it will still be clear that it's you,
18:54
the party But Jones will be able to
18:56
say looked overwhelming majority of republicans support Em
18:58
is overwhelming. Majority of democrats opposed. We're
19:02
is. Is my colleagues
19:04
with if is if you take
19:06
those top thirty voices on the
19:08
right. Following. The line.
19:11
Subscribers. And
19:13
they would take the fight directly to
19:16
him. How dare you? Best chance it
19:18
as is pivotal moments. This
19:21
pivotal moments when he is giving the democrats.
19:23
Everything we want you will win the lesson with him.
19:28
And it is right before the primaries
19:31
on we could influence and still all
19:33
the challengers to pressure. The incumbents
19:35
against this. With some
19:37
support. Then
19:40
Hakeem Jeffries would as to deliver
19:42
like at majority of Democrats sports
19:44
and that's untenable. Us a step
19:47
down. Johnson
19:50
seat is in Trump's hands.
19:55
Trump's prerogative whether to.
19:58
Turn on him or not. Which
20:01
he could turn on him in a dime. You know,
20:04
I'm all for forgiving him in the past
20:06
if he would move on in the future,
20:08
but that's only gonna happen. That's
20:10
in the fate of largely
20:13
conservative media. But
20:15
instead, Chairman Watley is the
20:17
RNC chairman, Trump's hand-picked guy,
20:19
Watley from North Carolina. He
20:22
said he spoke to Trump last night in
20:24
advance of the coming House GOP meeting, and
20:27
Trump wants the conference united,
20:31
both in primaries and with regard
20:33
to Johnson. Trump doesn't want to
20:35
win the White House and lose the House. So
20:38
Trump is ascribing to the same thing
20:40
that, that same garbage
20:42
mentality that only liberal Republicans could keep a
20:44
seat. By the way, we're mainly talking about
20:47
red seats, so even if you subscribe to
20:49
this notion that it is only an establishment
20:51
Republican who could win in a competitive district,
20:53
which is not true, it's the quality of
20:56
the candidate. But even if that
20:58
were true, we're talking about deep red districts
21:00
where he's continuing to endorse. So we
21:02
have the chairman of the RNC, who
21:05
is Trump's hand-picked person, that said he got
21:07
a commitment from Trump to Johnson
21:09
and to basically behind Johnson's allies at
21:11
a time when we need to be
21:14
all hands on deck, these sleepy
21:16
primaries that everyone's sleeping through, where
21:19
we have Freedom Caucus versus Johnson,
21:21
and Trump is supporting it. We just
21:23
had this in Ohio, we had this
21:25
in every other state. The
21:28
Congressional Leadership Fund, that
21:31
was McCarthy's brainchild
21:33
taken over by Johnson, they're
21:36
supporting the same uni-party
21:39
guys and they get Trump support. It
21:43
is, it doesn't have to be this way.
21:45
This is the time that if we stayed focused,
21:49
we would focus simultaneously on
21:52
the Speaker's fight, which
21:55
means getting Trump Right on
21:57
that and pressuring him and giving him some heat.
22:00
I'm currently. Focusing.
22:02
On the congressional primaries in red
22:04
states which art yeah, we have
22:06
Indiana next Tuesday. There.
22:09
Are several raises to get involved in. We
22:15
could totally turn this around. And
22:19
then perhaps this will wind up being a good thing.
22:22
That. We had city unit parties that it became
22:24
so blatant is it really was always like that.
22:28
So. Let it be known,
22:30
you have Hudson Jeffries. you
22:32
have Johnson send us from
22:34
Working all together. Fit is
22:36
all a fraud. And
22:39
I'm I'm just only one is one to tell you that. I'm
22:42
sorry. But. That's just
22:44
the way it is. By the way,
22:47
I'll never forget the did the day
22:49
Johnson took office suite. we pointed this
22:51
out the time if you remember. On.
22:54
Hakeem Jeffries normally the minority
22:57
leader or ceremonially hands over
22:59
the devil to the majority
23:01
parties newly elected speaker and
23:03
they'll just say something for
23:05
like your one or two
23:07
minutes. He got off, Hakeem
23:09
Jeffries took the microphone, got
23:11
up there dave a fifteen
23:13
minute rousing speech on every
23:16
demonic. Trends Humanist.
23:18
Communist priorities. I
23:21
mean an hour. I admire that guys. You
23:23
know he stole the So as enchanted, gets
23:25
up there and gives his inaugural speech and
23:27
it's like this milk toes retard. I mean
23:29
just nothing going on there. As
23:33
embodiment of what we're living through. But
23:36
remember doesn't have to be this way. Right
23:39
now the focus needs to be on the
23:41
it's not on the democrats, on the internal
23:43
speakers bite. On Red
23:45
Sea governorship. On Red
23:47
Sea primaries and state and federal. And
23:50
frankly, Trump's repeat that. Says
23:52
another thing I want to get to. making
23:54
it clear to trump step people like
23:56
tim scott people like the goes People
24:00
like Elise Stefanik are
24:02
non-starters. And Marco Rubio, for
24:04
that matter. But instead,
24:06
he could aimily rape us
24:08
with whatever he wants, and it will
24:10
all be good. Because my
24:13
colleagues suck. Pathetic.
24:18
This is for a time such
24:20
as this. This is your Esther moment. Don't
24:23
tell me all that's out of our hands, it's
24:25
whatever happens in November, the Democrats Biden. No, no, no,
24:27
no. You could
24:29
leverage control of the government with the House
24:31
at a federal level. That
24:34
is determined by the Speaker, which is determined by
24:36
Trump. You can elect an
24:38
entire new crop of
24:40
candidates in most
24:42
states that didn't have primaries yet. But
24:45
that's gonna take focus and support,
24:48
and again, to tell Trump to get off our lawn.
24:51
You don't do that, you're gonna get more of
24:53
the same. It doesn't
24:55
have to be this way. It
24:57
doesn't have to be this way. Now,
25:01
by the way, thankfully,
25:03
we don't have a uni-party equivalent for
25:06
purchasing trees and shrubs. We
25:08
actually have efficacy. As
25:12
you well know, I've purchased about a
25:14
dozen different indoor and outdoor plants and
25:16
trees from our friends at fastgrowntrees.com, along
25:18
with two million other happy customers. They
25:21
deliver them to your door so you
25:23
don't have the cumbersome process of transporting
25:26
them. And then they fall over
25:28
in the back of
25:30
your van and get
25:32
damaged. They're all hardy.
25:34
They're all fast-growing. They come to your
25:37
door very quickly. They have a 30-day
25:39
alive and thrive guarantee. If
25:41
you head over to fastgrowntrees.com and
25:43
you put in offer code conservative,
25:46
the word might be
25:49
quite meaningless in other contexts. But
25:51
here, check out, it gives
25:53
you 15% off, so make sure
25:55
you use it there. Their experts
25:57
curate thousands of plants every year.
26:00
depending on your specific climate So
26:26
the Freedom Caucus chairman Bob Good
26:28
announced that, ah, well, let's get rid of
26:31
Johnson in November. Not so much
26:33
now. Now, he said that before
26:35
they pulled the trigger on it, so it's
26:37
kind of different. But why
26:40
is a guy like Bob Good who is
26:42
one of the five leaders of every speaker's
26:44
fight kind of like a little bit backing
26:46
down? I'm not defending him. I haven't spoken
26:48
to Bob this week. I'm
26:51
just simple conjecture.
26:54
Because he
26:56
knows he's already on the hook with
26:59
Trump opposing him in a primary. So
27:01
think about this. Thanks to Trump, our
27:03
leader of the Freedom Caucus has to kind of
27:05
back down on the
27:07
speaker's fight because he has a primary
27:10
challenge from the left. Backed
27:13
by Johnson, McCarthy,
27:15
and Trump. Trump
27:17
is an Orwellian controlled opposition,
27:20
a uni-party built on top
27:22
of the uni-party. So
27:25
right when we're at the moment where there's
27:27
an enlightenment and an awakening of people to
27:29
the uni-party and the need to bust the
27:31
uni-party and we're trying to grope in the
27:33
darkness and, you know, use any little leverage
27:35
we have, which we don't have much because
27:37
we don't have a lot of money against
27:39
the Chamber of Commerce Republicans, to try to
27:41
get rid of them, he comes
27:43
in and saves the day. If
27:46
Trump is pressured by my
27:49
colleagues, we will see success.
27:51
If he is not, we will get more
27:53
of the same. It is that simple. Chronicles
27:56
1232. And
27:59
by the way, just in general. You know,
28:01
we've been out a couple days, so this
28:03
is, you know, going over the last week's
28:05
worth of news. But,
28:08
um, just to show how he's moving
28:10
to the left, this is from
28:12
Axios. Scoop. Governor Doug Bergham
28:14
moves up Trump's VP ladder. Now,
28:18
just so you know, unlike my colleagues
28:20
who didn't even know who Doug Bergham was, because
28:22
they don't know every Republican governor. By the
28:26
way, that's another thing. Anyone
28:28
could take a microphone and do a
28:31
podcast and read the headline of the
28:33
news. You know, if you're
28:35
a doctor, took a lot of skill, you're
28:37
an accountant, you're an engineer, whatever,
28:39
anyone could take a microphone and
28:42
read headline news. The
28:46
difference between what I offer you and what
28:48
my colleagues offer you is I actually learn
28:51
the subject matter. The policy,
28:53
the politics, the who's who, every
28:55
Republican state, the legislators, the governors, what they're
28:58
about, and I give it over to you.
29:01
Wow, Daniel, you're just extraordinary. No, I'm not.
29:04
That should be the baseline of
29:06
what conservative talk should be
29:08
about. You know, if you're
29:11
not gonna do, have a normal job for a thing like
29:13
this, at least know what the heck you're talking about. But
29:16
anyway, I've been warning you about Doug
29:18
Bergham long before he kissed up
29:20
to Trump and was ever a thing. This
29:23
guy is a WEF, global
29:25
warming guy, that literally promotes
29:27
net zero. I mean,
29:30
that is the dystopian 15-minute city,
29:33
get rid of all of energy, eco
29:35
craziness. He vetoed
29:37
a bunch of bills on tranny stuff
29:39
that his legislature passed. He
29:41
was a COVID fascist, total
29:44
leftist. And
29:50
Trump's rising interest in the North Dakota governor has
29:52
been clear in recent weeks, reveals his latest thinking
29:54
about how he thinks his running mate could help
29:56
him with undecided votes. Trump and his
29:59
wife Melania hosted... and his wife Catherine
30:01
and Mar-a-Lago for Easter. In
30:03
recent weeks, the sources said Trump frequently has
30:05
brought up Bergam's name in discussion
30:08
with allies. Two
30:12
sources familiar with the Trump thinking said he
30:14
likes Bergam's measured demeanor and
30:17
his low drama because he's a beta male similar
30:21
to Mike Pence. That's
30:25
what he wants. To
30:28
understand folks that the person
30:30
– VP, by the way, means nothing in
30:32
terms of presidential election. I don't care about
30:34
that. Well, I mean, I don't really care about
30:36
the presidential election, but I mean, no
30:39
one picks based off of VP. What
30:42
– where it does matter is
30:45
whoever Trump elevates will instantly have
30:47
the inside track in
30:49
having influence over the party in the future. So
30:53
we could elevate one of our own. Like
30:56
where are all these Steve Bannon's, Charlie Kirk's, if
30:59
they really have the influence they kind of
31:01
claim to wield, we should
31:03
not have to sit here and quiver in our
31:05
boots worrying he's going to pick a
31:07
rhino like this. Bergam
31:13
aligns with Trump on many issues including
31:15
abortion. Bergam's a big
31:17
social liberal. So
31:22
here we are. Even to
31:24
the left. Then we didn't get a
31:26
chance to comment on this because I was out Monday, but
31:30
Trump put
31:34
out a statement bashing RFK. Now
31:38
that's fair game. You know,
31:40
RFK is running, taking away some votes. So
31:44
you'd think he'd say RFK is really
31:46
a social liberal. Watch out. RFK
31:49
will push the global warming agenda. RFK
31:52
just picked the left, this is running me. No, no,
31:54
no, no. He finds as always
31:56
the one way to move to his left.
31:58
The one thing he's – singled out, he
32:02
said, I'd even take Biden over
32:04
junior, meaning RFK junior. Now,
32:07
okay, well, why is he worse than Biden? I don't
32:09
know in what way could, you know, RFK is certainly
32:11
liberal on things. He's not where we are in a
32:14
lot of issues. He's frankly
32:16
closer to where we are on some issues
32:18
than Trump is. Um, but,
32:22
but how is he worse? Quote, because
32:24
our country would last a year or
32:27
two longer prior to collapse, but it
32:29
would be dead either way. Why his
32:31
views on vaccines are fake, as
32:34
is everything else about his candidacy. And
32:38
as everyone well knows Trump's top
32:40
campaign aide, Susie Wiles is a
32:43
lobbyist for Pfizer
32:45
in addition to China. So there's
32:48
that. There
32:50
is that. So
32:53
folks, it doesn't have to be this
32:55
way, but he will continue moving
32:58
to the left and
33:00
using his good will with
33:02
the GOP base to disarm
33:04
and neutralize any opportunity
33:07
we have to expose and rectify
33:09
the unit party. Remember
33:12
24 out of
33:14
the 31 Republican senators who voted
33:16
for the Ukraine grift were endorsed
33:18
by Trump, not just during the
33:20
general election, but throughout the primaries
33:22
over the last few cycles, including
33:26
two of them. This cycle from
33:28
deep red States, Roger Wicker of Mississippi
33:31
and Kevin Kramer of North Dakota, Wicker,
33:33
unfortunately one, his primary thanks
33:35
to Trump. We had his challenger on
33:37
the show and then
33:39
Kevin Kramer in North Dakota. I don't know if
33:41
there's a filed candidate, but part of that is
33:43
we're not going to get a filed candidate if
33:45
Trump, if Trump would not only
33:48
not endorse the dead guys, but, but make it
33:50
clear he would support challengers. We would have them
33:52
in every state and district. And
33:56
with that, I want to turn my attention. So
34:01
again, right now, what
34:03
are the action items? Okay, we're not
34:05
just about commentary. So
34:07
if you are in a Republican district,
34:09
call your congressman. Demand
34:12
how they could support a guy
34:15
that literally gave away our leverage
34:17
on every single issue and has
34:19
given so much power to Kim
34:21
Jeffries that the Democrats would rather
34:23
he be a speaker. How
34:25
could they justify
34:28
supporting Johnson? If
34:30
you are in a district, go to
34:32
your Secretary of State website or
34:35
go to Green Papers. Green Papers is a
34:37
website. Click on your state. They easily run
34:39
down all the races. Find
34:42
out who is – if you
34:44
haven't yet had a congressional primary. Remember, even
34:46
if you had a presidential primary, a lot
34:48
of the states hold their congressional primaries later
34:50
in the year, June, July, August.
34:54
There's a couple in May coming up. I
34:59
believe Nebraska is at the end of the month. There's
35:01
a couple of rhinos that have challengers. So
35:06
support them if
35:09
you have an open seat. There's a lot of
35:11
open seats as well. Solid red
35:13
districts, whoever wins the
35:15
primary will win the general. But
35:18
if it's the wrong Republican, what's the point?
35:22
So get them
35:25
on record. Do you support Johnson or not? And
35:31
also, by the way, get them on record. Will you
35:33
join the Freedom Caucus? If
35:35
they waffle around that – remember, not
35:38
everyone in the Freedom Caucus is that great. That
35:41
should be a no-brainer that
35:43
you would join the Freedom Caucus. And I'm sorry. Unless
35:46
you know someone is
35:48
a Thomas Massey, he's
35:50
independent, that's not an excuse. Oh, I
35:52
don't want to join. I'll be good
35:54
without joining it. No, no, no, no. 999 out
35:57
of 1,000. The
36:00
guy's bad if he's not joining it. So
36:05
that's what that – and then look,
36:07
the state legislatures. In
36:10
South Carolina, there are 33 incumbents
36:12
that face Freedom Caucus
36:14
challengers. In Wyoming, there's 13
36:16
rhinos that face challengers,
36:18
which is a lot because they have a
36:21
smaller body there. There's
36:23
13 in the House. There's several in the Senate,
36:28
including one of
36:30
my Wyoming team leaders listening to this
36:32
show. We'll talk about that. We'll have him
36:34
on when it's closer. I think the primary
36:36
is in August. It's one of the later ones,
36:39
but some of you in the audience have
36:41
been inspired. If you are
36:43
running for even local office and you are
36:45
a listener, email me, DanielHerwitz
36:47
at starmail.com. I'll try to help.
36:50
Some of you have taken up that call in Idaho,
36:53
another state with a very liberal Republican
36:55
governor, liberal Senate
36:57
leadership. The Freedom
36:59
Caucus has challengers against 19 sitting
37:02
House members and seven senators. Again, it's
37:05
a small chamber. That – if they
37:07
would succeed, they would gain majorities in
37:09
both chambers. There
37:12
is a lot on the line here. The
37:15
reason we have a uni party
37:18
is because the system
37:21
gives us the nominee every time. Republican
37:24
primaries are the insurance policy of the system,
37:26
so that if they lose the general election
37:28
or in a part of the country where
37:31
no matter what the Republican wins the general
37:33
election, they have their guy. I
37:37
don't want to hear – now is not the
37:40
time. Everyone's like, wait a minute. Trump's going to
37:42
say, we need to be united. Let's just focus
37:44
on November. No, no, no. It's not all about
37:46
you, buddy. Now
37:48
it's primary season. We'll get to
37:50
the general election. It's
37:53
primaries. It's bad enough. You
37:55
schmucks slept through the presidential primary
37:57
and saddled us with this blanket.
38:00
Okay, so
38:03
let's at least try to rectify it with
38:06
the down the ballot primaries and not allow
38:08
this idiot to screw
38:10
us up. And with that, I want
38:13
to get to one of
38:15
the main courses today. There
38:17
is an extraordinary piece of news out there that
38:19
I'm probably going to be the only show discussing
38:22
this, and it's what sets us apart
38:24
from everyone else. In that it's
38:26
kind of an obscure story in
38:28
a relatively obscure state in
38:30
the country, but
38:32
it cuts to the core of
38:35
how we solve our political problem
38:38
with not having any representation with
38:40
the UNI party. It
38:43
cuts to the core of
38:45
how we can have a new party
38:47
without officially starting one and
38:52
change things overnight. And this,
38:54
by the way, could be done with
38:58
the exclusive influence of our
39:00
side. Imagine if Trump were
39:02
to endorse this idea, it
39:05
would be – I mean, you would
39:07
change the country overnight because you
39:09
would change the party, okay, overnight.
39:14
So it's not the Democrats, the
39:16
media, a lack of Republican control.
39:19
This could be done now. It depends on the state. Sometimes
39:22
it would take a statutory change in
39:24
supermajority Republican states, but there are rhinos
39:27
in charge, or simple
39:30
party rules. And by the way, conservatives have
39:32
taken over some of the state parties, and
39:35
that's something that I've been talking about for
39:37
many years, the
39:40
need to switch from
39:42
popular primaries to state
39:44
conventions, meaning rather
39:46
than having the primaries just like the
39:49
general election where it's a bunch of
39:51
low-information people all just voting
39:53
for Coke and Pepsi, the
39:55
biggest name with the most money, here's
39:58
the problem we face. Okay, in
40:01
a nutshell, why are we where we are? We are where
40:03
we are because the bad guys
40:05
within the party have the
40:08
donors. We have the people. So
40:11
the problem – so like this, they
40:14
need our people to vote for
40:16
them. So they need to run
40:18
on our issues. They can't openly run on
40:20
being rhinos. Then they'll lose
40:22
95% of the primaries. So
40:24
what they do is they use the industry
40:26
money they have that our guys don't have
40:28
to build Name ID in an open seat.
40:32
And in an incumbent seat, they already
40:34
have it, and it's impossible to get rid
40:36
of them. And
40:38
they blast the airwaves with Biden's
40:41
horrible, I'm gonna fight the
40:43
left, open border, crime, inflation,
40:46
indoctrination, the training agenda. Whatever
40:48
we're talking about, they'll talk about the same thing,
40:51
except they have more money and Name ID to do
40:53
so, so guess who wins every
40:55
primary? Well, the one with the
40:57
most money and Name ID. Well, in
41:00
9 out of 10 cases, that guy is
41:02
a uni-party guy. That's why he
41:04
has all that money, I'm sorry to say. So
41:07
I've been telling you guys for years that
41:10
if you would switch to conventions, okay,
41:14
if you would switch to conventions, that
41:18
would change overnight. You wouldn't
41:21
have a 100% success rate, but right now we have
41:23
close to 0% success
41:25
rate against incumbents.
41:28
We have maybe a 10% success rate in open seats.
41:33
Okay, the lower the office you get,
41:35
maybe it gets closer to 30%, 40%
41:38
getting better. But if
41:41
you had conventions, we'd get 80%.
41:43
You would get in one cycle,
41:45
eight new good senators, 50 new
41:49
good house members, and hundreds upon hundreds
41:51
of better state legislators as well as
41:54
better governors. Some
41:56
of you might know where I'm headed already with this,
41:58
Utah. Utah
42:01
is the model for this. Utah
42:03
has a convention. Except,
42:06
as you well know, last
42:08
decade, the party gutted it and basically
42:11
it used to be that for most
42:13
positions, you have a convention. And
42:15
again, what does a convention mean? A convention means that
42:18
in your precinct where you vote,
42:20
you elect a guy in your
42:22
primary as your delegate to the
42:25
convention. Which
42:27
makes sense. When
42:29
you have a solid red state and
42:31
everyone runs as a conservative, but few really
42:33
are, when it
42:35
matters and the way it matters, I
42:38
don't blame the average person for
42:41
not knowing. Why would you know? People
42:44
come to me all the time where I am. I mean, it's
42:46
a Democrat area, so it doesn't matter who wins the primary. But
42:49
hey, Daniel, I just want the best conservative. Who is that? I
42:51
don't know who these people are. So
42:53
rather than just having low information, people
42:55
vote on the guy that they see
42:58
the most yard signs for. See, let's
43:00
say you have a convention with
43:02
a thousand delegates. I forget how many Utah
43:05
has. So these are a finite
43:08
number of high information
43:10
party activists. You could get
43:12
all the money from Pfizer you want and the
43:14
Chamber of Commerce you want in the
43:16
defense industry and the healthcare cartel, right?
43:19
And you can get all the establishment
43:21
endorsements you want. That
43:24
doesn't do you any good against a
43:27
finite pool of high information activists. What
43:30
that does get you is in a popular
43:32
primary of millions of people, then yeah, I
43:34
mean, you can't win without it. So
43:37
Utah used to have a convention
43:40
and we've gotten rid of people because that's
43:42
the only state. Don't
43:45
doubt me on this. We have history showing this.
43:48
Mike Lee is pretty much the only sitting
43:50
senator who has knocked off an incumbent from
43:52
the right to win
43:54
a Senate seat like ever. That's
43:57
from Utah. Since then, they gutted it, so
43:59
they… have a convention, you win what's
44:01
called the party endorsement, you have this a
44:04
little bit in Virginia, a couple other states
44:06
where they have conventions, North Dakota, I think
44:08
a lot of states still have conventions and
44:10
they'll endorse, but you could bypass
44:12
it or get signature,
44:15
in the case of Utah, you get signatures to
44:17
get on the ballot. So all the pukes lose
44:20
the convention, but they win
44:22
the primaries. Even someone
44:24
like Mitt Romney versus a
44:26
random state legislator, I mean the asymmetry
44:29
and name ID, money, he's the most
44:31
notorious, well known Mormon in the
44:33
country. He's a
44:35
presidential candidate. He lost
44:37
the convention, but he crushed in the primary.
44:42
We have Governor Spencer Cox, a
44:44
social and fiscal leftist who is governor
44:46
of Utah. In a sane world, a
44:48
guy like that should be gone. And
44:51
we're like, how does a guy that's pro tranny
44:53
win in Utah? And
44:56
he's running for reelection. That guy shouldn't even
44:58
be able to stand for renomination. And
45:02
yet, there's a poll out, it might have been commissioned
45:04
by Spencer Cox, but I can believe it. He is
45:06
getting like 80%. He's pulling like 80% in the primary.
45:09
And people don't know, oh, he's our Republican
45:12
governor. Okay, status quo. That's how it is.
45:14
You will never change this. Well,
45:16
they had the convention on Saturday. If
45:19
you guys remember, we had his, probably
45:22
the best challenger or
45:24
most promising challenger. We
45:27
had his state legislator, Phil
45:29
Lyman. We had him on our show a couple
45:31
months ago. We're
45:35
always like, it's not just that
45:37
these rhinos should lose. They should lose by
45:40
a mile. Well, he
45:42
lost by a mile. Phil Lyman defeated
45:44
him 67 to 33%. A
45:48
sitting governor. That's
45:52
how bifurcated
45:54
conventions versus popular primaries
45:57
are. Cox
45:59
is winning like Like 80% is the primary. You
46:03
already had the signatures, so he's going to go to a primary.
46:06
But it's not just that a
46:09
little-known House
46:11
member from the southern part of the
46:13
state, a sparsely populated part of the
46:16
state, way outside of the
46:19
urban centers in Utah, was
46:22
able to win against a sitting
46:25
governor running for renomination. But
46:28
he won 2-1, the
46:30
delegates booed Spencer Cox.
46:34
Folks, I don't understand why
46:36
I'm the only one in conservative media
46:39
that notices this. Imagine
46:41
if the Utah convention
46:44
would be final, meaning you
46:46
couldn't have a primary, and imagine
46:48
if you had that in every red state. Remember,
46:51
Lyman's not even a particularly strong –
46:53
I don't mean this as an insult
46:55
and strong in terms of his conviction,
46:57
but just his ability to raise money
46:59
and name ID – strong candidate. Even
47:01
though, like, an obscure guy, because
47:04
the activists largely are like, no, Spencer Cox
47:06
is a Democrat. We're not going for this.
47:08
But your average Republican voter, oh, I just
47:11
vote for the incumbent. I vote for the
47:13
most well-known Republican. Heck, at least it's not
47:15
a Democrat. This
47:17
is going to continue to
47:19
happen until infinity, unless we
47:22
change to conventions. And
47:26
by the way, it was across the board. It was
47:29
across the board. The
47:32
incumbents got knocked out. First
47:34
District – congressional for Congress, first congressional
47:37
district, Representative Blake Moore. He's
47:39
the seventh-ranking Republican in
47:41
Congress. He's the vice chair of the conference,
47:43
so he's got a lot of access to
47:45
money. He
47:48
was defeated by a political novice, so
47:50
this guy, Paul Miller, he's an electrician. Just
47:52
a random guy, 55%, 45%. Okay?
47:57
And again, Blake Miller is kind of a clean guy. No
48:00
scandals, but his scandal is, he
48:02
voted for the spending bills. You
48:05
could... In other words, what I'm
48:07
saying is this is the type of thing... Again,
48:10
no insult to these people. I say this endearingly,
48:12
a guy, a random electrician like Paul Miller, a
48:14
normal guy like that, cannot win a popular primary.
48:16
That's just a reality. That's
48:19
why the founders didn't want
48:21
direct democracy. Because
48:23
when all the people so-called decide,
48:25
it means the elites manipulated
48:28
and decide. You need it filtered through
48:30
a representation. Again, this is not oligarchy.
48:33
I want to make it clear. It's
48:35
not like a couple of
48:37
unelected party chieftains get into a room
48:39
at a convention select. You
48:42
nominate from your neighborhood who
48:45
you trust as a conservative activist to
48:47
know who's who and what's what. Who
48:51
kind of does this full-time. Hey,
48:53
you and I share the same values, but
48:56
I don't know what I'm doing. You do. You go
48:58
to the convention and vet these people out for me.
49:02
So, it's unbelievable. But
49:04
again, as vice chair with all the
49:06
access to Johnson's money, again, I don't
49:09
want to talk this down and I wish him
49:11
well and well support him. But it's
49:13
going to be very difficult for Paul
49:15
Miller to scratch 30% in a popular
49:17
primary. Let's go on to District 2. Another
49:20
incumbent, now she's not like a full incumbent because she
49:22
took over in a special, Representative
49:25
Celeste Malloy. She took over, she was
49:27
a staffer for Chris Stewart who was
49:29
like a moderate incumbent who resigned midway
49:32
to his wife, I think, as
49:34
cancer. So, we wish her
49:36
well. But he resigned. He's
49:39
a moderate guy, liberal Republican. So, the
49:41
staffer was the same kind of leadership
49:43
type. And this
49:46
former Green Beret Colonel Colby
49:48
Jenkins ran and he
49:53
was endorsed by Mike Lee. By the way, Mike
49:55
Lee, I give Mike credit for endorsing against a
49:58
sitting member from his own delegation. Mike
50:00
himself is a product of the
50:03
convention, and Jenkins
50:06
won. Okay?
50:08
And then, you
50:11
know, you have the Senate race because Romney
50:14
is retiring. So
50:18
this guy Trent Staggs, who was the first guy
50:20
to run, he's a mayor or a former mayor.
50:23
But by far, the most name recognition
50:25
and support would have been Representative John
50:27
Curtis. He is – is that
50:30
the third district, I believe? So he's
50:32
vacating the third district seat to run. John
50:34
Curtis is the chairman of the
50:37
Republican bipartisan global warming caucus, whatever
50:39
they call it, conservatives for climate
50:41
solutions or something. So big,
50:44
big leftist. And
50:47
Trent Staggs crushed him 2 to 1. But
50:49
again, they're headed to a prime. Now,
50:52
in this case, Trump actually is endorsing Staggs.
50:55
Staggs has made sure to be a huge MAGA
50:57
guy. Okay, fine, whatever. I'll
50:59
take it. And
51:02
he is – so – you know, he's
51:05
supporting him, but that's an exception.
51:08
Most cases, we don't have Trump
51:10
support. It would be nice if
51:12
we can get his support in all these other
51:14
– the other three, the two other House seats
51:17
and then the governor's
51:19
race. But
51:21
folks, you see what I'm driving at?
51:24
It doesn't have to be this way. We
51:27
have a solution right in front
51:29
of our eyes. If
51:32
you would go to conventions,
51:35
if you change the party rules, focus
51:39
mainly on the red states. You
51:42
could have 15 DeSantises.
51:45
You could have, you know,
51:48
30 Mike Lees. And
51:52
you could have 100 Chip Roys
51:54
and Bob Goodes and God knows how
51:56
many state legislators within one
51:59
of the state. election cycle That
52:03
is the most earth shattering change I have the
52:05
data to show it to you because
52:07
we have a model Albeda,
52:09
it's not final. Unfortunately. It's not final
52:14
But why do you think the rhinos change
52:16
the party rules to get Romney elected
52:19
not stupid They know
52:21
if the activists decide
52:23
these guys are done now
52:26
again look conventions aren't perfect Especially in this
52:28
era of the white trash kind of fake
52:30
manga guy. That's what the rhetoric Sometimes some
52:33
of those guys will get support from the
52:35
activists like the Kerry Lake types but
52:38
in general we would be flushing
52:40
the real old establishment and Again
52:44
right now we never knock off incumbents
52:47
In other words the difference between the conventions
52:49
not like oh in the primaries We get 45%
52:52
against establishment and at the convention we get 55 No
52:54
in the primaries we get 25 30 and
52:57
at conventions we get 65 70 That's
53:01
that that's how different it is and
53:04
then and then folks think I want you your mind
53:06
to run wild Imagine if
53:08
we had Conventions then you
53:10
would have much better recruitment. You wouldn't
53:12
be stuck with kind of obscure guys
53:15
You'd have like Freedom Caucus house guys would
53:18
advance to Senate and governor But right now
53:20
they're not gonna want to destroy their career
53:22
and do a pickets charge in a primary
53:24
knowing they're gonna lose especially
53:27
with Trump not supporting 90% of them and Then
53:31
now imagine the force multiplication within
53:34
the party in
53:36
the legislation and the legislative actions
53:38
and the executive actions of Republican
53:40
governors every day in between the
53:42
elections Knowing that
53:45
on the back side you're gonna stand
53:47
before the convention You see
53:49
what I mean right now? Primaries
53:51
are a joke. They don't fear them
53:53
and why should they they steamroll
53:56
us? I've worked primaries my
53:58
entire life They
54:00
don't work. Once in a whole, you
54:03
know, Blue Moon, we strike gold like I was
54:05
a part of the Dave Bratt defeat of Eric
54:08
Caner. But, you know, again, that
54:10
was very rare, and even then it was a house seat.
54:13
You never, ever get it statewide. Statewide,
54:15
you know, sometimes a smaller seat, you
54:17
could kind of catch them by surprise,
54:19
not as much focus. You
54:22
could never catch someone by surprise in a statewide
54:24
race, governor or senator. It's not going to happen.
54:28
Now imagine if you had – imagine
54:30
what the country would look like if you had 15
54:32
red states. I mean, we could
54:35
probably have 25, but, you know, let's say 15
54:37
with the same just plus as
54:39
governor and similar people as
54:41
majority leader and speaker in the legislature.
54:46
Don't tell me it's all about the presidential
54:48
general election. It's Trump versus Biden. We have
54:50
no choice. They're
54:53
Democrats, Hunter Biden, ehh. No, no, no.
54:56
There is a lot we can be doing structurally
55:00
reforming our primaries, and at least this cycle when
55:02
we're involved in them, at least try to
55:04
help the guys that are running getting
55:07
involved in the legislative sessions. And
55:11
Republicans still do control the House, and we have a speaker's fight. Where
55:14
is Trump? So
55:16
folks, I'm back in full force. Sorry for being out.
55:18
Please give us a five-star rating on iTunes if you
55:20
have not done so yet. Daniel

Harwitt at startmail.com is the email. We
55:25
got so much more. I do want

immigration-related news. And we're going to give
