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.

2:59

people who claim to want to

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

55:23

Harwitt at startmail.com is the email. We

55:25

got so much more. I do want

55:27

to cover the Hamas immigration foreign student

55:30

visas we're seeing on the college campuses,

55:32

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

55:34

you the latest hard-cutting

55:37

news and strategy

55:40

on everything related that is

55:42

in our province of

55:45

influence, our sphere of dominion, until

55:47

tomorrow, chronicles 12-32.
