Speaker 1 (00:03):
Morning.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
You're rope about to enter the arena and join the
battle to save America with your host Sean Parnell.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Good evening, America, Welcome to Battleground Live. This is the
show where we kick ass, and we take names, and
we lockhorns with the radical left. We never quit, we
never surrender. From sea to shriding Sea and everybody in between.
Welcome patriots. It is great to be back on Battleground
Live on a Monday, in a glorious Monday, it is.
(00:38):
I'm very, very excited, folks. I haven't taken a week
off from whatever it is that I do, which I
mean I say it that way because I've done a
litany of different things over the past four years, but
I never never take time off. And so I will
say I really missed getting it up opportunity to.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Hang out with you every night. I really do.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
It's the highlight of my day to be able to
talk to you and about the news and what's going
on in the world, you know. And I've said it
before and I'll say it again. I am afraid. I
really am legitimately afraid. And I'm gonna keep banging on
this drum until we have a solid answer to this question.
But if what's gonna happen after Trump walks away from
(01:25):
the Oval Office for the last time, What's gonna happen
when Donald J. Trump retires from politics? What will become
of the America First movement? And I worry about that
because you know, every single day there seems to be
little thing here, something there that is contrary to what
(01:46):
this movement is all about that percolates to the surface.
And we're gonna talk about this H one B stuff
because this came out last week. There was a huge
debate on it last week. I didn't have a show
last week. The debate is still raging today. And I
gotta tell you, this stuff pisses me off. And I
think you could probably tell where I'm gonna come down
(02:06):
and land on this. But I'll give you my thoughts
on that here in a second. But I want to
make sure you all smash that like button, that little
green thumb beneath the video. We took last week off,
but before we took the week off, I mean, we
made the leaderboard every single day for the last three weeks.
And that's because of you, and it's because you smash
that like button. Beneath the video, so that helps us
(02:28):
the little rumble button there, a little thumbs up button
that helps us get on the leaderboard. You all have
done an amazing job at that. Also, battle Crew, it's
great to see you all. I'm seeing all the names
in the live chat. You said you'd be back, and
you are back, and I'm telling you it's great to
see you all. I'm so excited to see all your
names back in there. The day is not the same
(02:49):
without you. Also, to my buddy Dan Nunn and all
the nun chucks over from the Nun Report who raided
this stream today, thank you.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
We love you.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Any members of the battle Crew and a groin Nation
that are looking for a great show to follow, go
and follow the Nun Report. He's on this chat right now.
Check him out. He's got a great show that he
does as well. And I think you really want to
check out as much independent media as possible.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I think that independent media is the future.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I think that, you know, the Fox News is of
the world, the Newsmas of the world. Yes, people watch them,
they love them, They've got fans there. Conservatives are fans
of these networks. But I think what we're doing is
the future. So what's starting out as small and powerful
could grow and verging into something really great. So find
(03:36):
people that you trust, find people that you believe in.
You know, it doesn't require that you agree one hundred
percent of the time. You're not going to agree one
hundred percent of the time with anybody. But find people
that you trust that will give you a no bullshit
assessment of the situation. And seriously, I nothing to me. Well,
(03:57):
I'll say this, let me, let me take a step back.
Few things are are worse to me than a fence sitter.
All my life, I feel like I have come across
the path of fence sitters on issues of great importance.
Ah well, I'm just gonna be right. I don't want
to speak out. I don't want people to be mad
at me. What will people think of me if I
(04:20):
take a position on the vaccine or what will what
will people think of me if I speak out against
these lockdowns? Or what will people think of me if
I if I run foul of the traditional Republican talking
points of h one B's visas. I'm sorry, I'm over
that shit. No more fence sitters. We cannot live our
(04:40):
life in the gray. You know, pick a damn side
and fight for it, right, I know what side you're
all on.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I mean, I get it.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
But damn I would rather know that someone has a side,
so at least I know where they are and a
specific issue, and hell.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
We'll meet in the middle.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Maybe maybe that's what consensus this is all about, or
maybe we don't. I'm tired of this living in the gray.
Let me tell you, folks, Christmas break for Fort Parnell
and I got you know, my oldest daughter Katie got
me this awesome Fort Parnell sign and she made it
in school and metal shop and it was pretty damn amazing.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I loved it. It was a great gift.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
It is sitting right in my entryway as you come
into the kitchen, says Fort Parnell right over there.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
But it's pretty awesome.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
And another thing I'll say, you always worry maybe I'm crazy. Okay,
if I'm crazy, listen, I'm coming over here to the
live chat. I'm sure that many of you all have
children of your own, or you're raising kids, or you've
got grandkids, or you have nieces, nephews whatever. I feel
(05:55):
like every year Christmas.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I mean, obviously it's a very spar time for my family.
But I just I just feel like.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Time is short with my kids for some reason. And
don't take it the way that I think it's coming across.
I don't mean it time is.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I mean that.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I only have so much time to celebrate Christmas with
my children when they're all little. And one of my buddies,
his name is Saraj, was sending me he works for Rumble.
He was sending me pictures. He's got his little his
little girl, who's I think a one year old. She's
dressed up and a snow white costume for Christmas. And
you see her like wobbling out and stumps you got
(06:40):
a little diaper on, stumbling over to the Christmas presence.
She's completely overwhelmed. I mean all of our kids. I
mean my youngest kid is eleven, he'll be twelve in January.
All of our kids and a year from now we
have all teenagers. Our senior is already applying to colleges.
(07:00):
And I just, I just it's just, on one hand,
every Christmas is amazing and wonderful, but it's also a
bittersweet because again, you only have a limited time with
your children, and so that leads me to you know,
I mean, that's part of the reason why I wanted
to take last week off so I was there with
them and could be present in the moment, because I
(07:22):
just think that once that time is gone, you never
get it back. And that's also why I say time
is our most valuable and precious asset because of spending
time with your kids when they're little. Never get that
time back.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
So we got the oldest. She's a senior now.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
As I told you, she's applying to college. We came
out for Christmas morning, all ready to go down and
see what Santa left around the.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Tree, and.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
All of the kids were camped out outside our bedroom
and they had their little blankets. They were all still waiting,
which tell me that I think our family were not perfect.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
We're far from it. We have issues like every other family,
believe me.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
But it tells me that I think as parents, both
Commander Melanie and I are doing something right. We must
be doing something right if of our children still, at
some level, even as they're getting older, have that love
of Christmas and understand what the season is all about.
And they're all sitting there together as a family outside
our bedroom where Melanie and I walk out and they're
all right there, excited for Christmas. It's a special time
(08:33):
and I'm glad to be able to tell you all
that story because many of you are like members of
my family now too. I mean, seriously, I've said this before,
and I mean this. We spend an hour together every
single day.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I mean, like maybe we're.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Not physically there, but we spend an hour together every day,
and so over time, you know, you build up a
bond with people like that, and I'm glad to have
that type of bond with all of you. I'm okay,
before we jump into the H one B debate, I
stumbled across this inauguration video. I stumbled across this inauguration
(09:12):
video of Trump's speech in twenty sixteen coming into the
Oval office, and I just think it's important because we're
about to cross you know, it's about to be inauguration
time again, and now knowing everything that we know now,
everything that the Deep State and these Democrats and some
(09:33):
establishment Republicans put President Trump through, now, I want you
to keep all of that insane stuff in the forefront
of your mind as you listen or watch this SoundBite
and ask yourself we really ask yourself, does this man
or did this man deserve what he got?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Just just listen.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be
heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Every hall of power.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
From this day forward, it's going to.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Be only America First.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
America First.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign
affairs will be made to benefit American workers and American families.
We must protect our borders from the ravages of other
countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs.
(10:59):
Protection lead to great prosperity and strength.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I will fight for you with every.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Breath in my body, and I will never ever let
you down. America will start winning again, winning like never before.
(11:27):
We will bring back our jobs.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
We will bring back our borders.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
We will bring back our wealth, and we will bring
back our dreams.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
We will build.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
New roads and highways, and bridges, and airports and tunnels
and railways all across.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Our wonderful nation.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
We will get our people off of wealth and back
to work, rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor.
We will follow two simple rules. By American and hire American.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Now do you know why I pulled that.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Because I think and that speech, that clip that I
just showed you of, that speech outlines what it means
to be America first in two minutes, in twenty six seconds,
being America first means actually putting this country and our
(12:49):
citizens before anything else. You see, I think that Democrat Republican.
I don't give a damn about your political party if
I do, but just for the sake of the argument,
you have a responsibility and an obligation to the American
people first last in all ways. And so that's why
(13:10):
this H one B visa debate gets me so fired up,
because we should be investing in our people. We should
be investing in American education. We should be asking these
universities that have billions of dollars in endowment and take
(13:32):
taxpayer money why they're not churning out graduates who are
ready to go and support the American workforce. We should
be investing in our families. We should be investing in
what it means to have a strong family life in
American culture right. We should be investing in work skills
(13:52):
for the American people. Over the last week, again off,
so I didn't have an outlet for this stuff.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
You see, all of this.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Testimony on social media has been brought forth by family
members or people who have really suffered at the hands
of the H one B program, People who say work
at Disney or a big tech company out in California
or some other fortune five hundred company where they were
told that they needed to train, They were given their
sixty to ninety day notice, they were told that they
(14:22):
needed to train their replacement. And over the time that
they trained their replacement, they also learned that their replacement
was making half the money that they were, with no benefits.
And oh, by the way, they weren't US citizens. They
were here on this special H ONEB visa program that
should never happen in America. And here's why we live
(14:50):
in a country, not just an economy. I am a capitalist,
I am a free guy, but just like I'm a
free trade guy as well, except for if free trade
is not fair, then it's not free trade. For example,
(15:11):
if China is manipulating their currency and dumping cheap steel
in American markets and we're closing down steel manufacturing facilities
and trade workers, American trade workers are getting put out
of work because those facilities are closed down. That ain't
a free trade relationship with China. That is China manipulating
the markets. And likewise, we should not allow American companies
(15:33):
to manipulate the markets by hiring foreign workers paying them
half the wages that they would pay American people with
no benefits. It drives me crazy, this program. Non listen,
I'm not advocating. Don't abandon me right off. I'm gonna
give you a perspective here. I'm not advocating abandoning the
(15:55):
H one B program. I'm not. What I am saying
is that it needs to be seriously reformed so that
it does not undercut the American worker. I'm sorry, you'd
be hard pressed to make an argument for H one
b's when we've had ten plus million illegal aliens who
have come across our border, probably a lot more than
(16:16):
that over the last four years of the Biden administration,
and you've had foreign born workers outpaced that of native
born Americans in the job market over the last four years. Houston, America.
We have a real problem on our hands here. So
to just go back to the old hell, Hey, H
one B program, it's great. We want to bring in
(16:37):
the best and brightest. Well, you know what are we
really bringing in the best and brightest here? I mean seriously,
because I've seen companies apply for H one at list
H one B job positions that are janitor, secretary, entry
level positions like that for H one B workers.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I'm sorry, shouldn't happen. Now we're an H one.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
B visa where hey, we can have a let's have
a conversation about perhaps bringing in the best and the brightest. Okay,
And I mean this, Listen, if there's an Einstein level
person out there, like the US brought in Einstein during
World War Two to help us develop the atomic bomb,
which eventually brought forth an end of the war in Japan,
(17:25):
I'm fine with that, but they gotta they gotta be
top top, top, top of the notch genius level intellect,
have something to offer this country and want to assimilate
and want to be an American citizen and want to
come here. I'm fine with bringing people like that here,
But guess what, there aren't millions of people like that
(17:47):
out there. I'm just saying, it's just it's just the truth.
The counter argument to that. Now, again, I still believe
we should I want those people here. I don't want
Russia or China, China snatching up those people. I'd like
to have them here in America. But these are like
less than one percent of the people that would come
here on this program. That's a fact. There's also an
(18:13):
argument that you say, patriotic people, people that want to
come to the to America. They're patriots, they're smart. Maybe
they have something to offer, but you know what doesn't
India and Pakistan and some of these other countries. Don't
they need their own Thomas Jefferson's and Benjamin Franklin's to
(18:34):
build their own country up. I mean, there's I really
do think that there's something to that argument. If the
best in the brightest state in their countries and build
their own countries up, would that not lead to some
form of at least global economic stability. I mean, I mean, look,
this isn't when I say that Americans have been for
(19:00):
in some cases to train their replacements who were H
one B visa holders. Listen, don't trust me. I think
this is CBS. Listen to them.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
American workers are losing job because of a law designed
to help the job market, the H one B visa
bill was written in nineteen ninety. It lets companies recruit
foreign talent for merging, engineering and scientific jobs, but loopholes
allow for outsourcing of American jobs to foreign workers, often
at lower pay. Bill Whitaker spoke to some Americans displaced
(19:31):
by H one B Visa workers for Sunday sixty minutes.
They say they were asked to train workers who would
take their jobs.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
It wasn't called training or replacement, it was called knowledge transfer.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
Craig DiAngelo worked for Northeast Utilities now called ever Source,
and was one of two hundred and twenty IT workers
replaced by H one B Visa employees. Dangelo says his
replacement a worker from India. I told him he was
making half di'angelo's salary with no benefits.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
I didn't get laid off for lack of work.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
I got laid off because somebody cheaper could do my job.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
We met with this group of workers who all had
to train replacements. Leo Perrero had just received high performance
reviews from Disney when he was called into a personnel meeting.
He expected a raise under promotion, and instead.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
I was given the news that in ninety days my
job was over, and I had to train my replacement.
Never in my life did I imagine until this happened
at Disney, that I could be sitting at my desk
and somebody would be flown in from another country, sit
at my same desk and chair and take over what
I was doing. It was the most humiliating and demoralizing
(20:53):
thing I've ever gone through my life.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Shouldn't happen in America, and I think people are are
a little confused because Trump. President Trump released a statement
saying he likes the visas. But listen, I think that
I don't think he. I think maybe he was confused
about the H two A visas and H two B visas.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
President Trump uses.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Those at his hotels all the time. You know, two
A and two B visas are for hotels, tourism, seasonal employees.
Trump uses those. I'm not sure that Trump has any
And look, I don't know for sure, but I'd be
willing to bet that those are the visas that President
Trump relies on for his own businesses. But nevertheless, we
(21:46):
really should be putting an endeavor to always put the
American people first. That's why President Trump won, That's why
Republicans control the House of representatives. That's why Republicans control
the United States Senate right now, and state houses and
state governments all across the country because of a pledge
to put the American people first. Because the American people
(22:08):
are really hurting right now. And look, I'm sorry, it's
not a stretch of the imagination. You don't have to
think too hard about why the American people might be
pissed off about this, right the American people are hurting.
Why are we offering you know, why are we giving
(22:30):
away jobs that could be held by Americans to foreign
born workers for next to no pay? Now, you know,
free market capitalists or old guard Republicans would just say, well,
Americans don't want to do coding jobs for twenty five
grand a year. Okay, fine, pay more, pay more, pay
a competitive wage, pay enough so that American workers actually
(22:51):
want to do the work.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
We live in a country, not just an economy. That's
my thought on the matter. And speaking of the House
of Representatives, can we talk, folks for a minute about
what's coming around the corner with Speaker Johnson, And we
are about to and I'm about to take you down
a rabbit hole here, Speaker of the House parliamentary procedure.
(23:16):
It could be some really really crazy stuff happening. But
I've got to take a quick break. And while I'm
taking a quick break, smash that like button, that little
green thumb beneath the video. Man, it's good to be back, folks.
I'm telling you this Speaker of the House stuff. You've
got to be aware of what's coming. You know, Trump
endorsed speaker Mike Johnson, Like looks speaker Johnson is imperfect in.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
A lot of ways. Just hear me out.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
On this and why I think Trump is right on
this one. Yeah, folks, quick admin stuff. So tomorrow, I
forgot to say this at the top of the show.
I'm doing a show tomorrow, Yes, but I'm also filling
in from twelve to three for Klay, Travis and Buck Sexton. Now,
(24:06):
I was texting Brock by the way, who is Wendy
Bell's producer extraordinaire Brock Star, And he was like, that's
a pretty big fill in, and I just said, yeah,
it's kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
A little bit nervous about it.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
They're on five hundred radio stations and I think that
they took over Rush Limbaugh's spot on the radio so
for me to be able to even have an opportunity
to fill in on that what a blessing. And it
really is kind of crazy, because I'll tell you another thing,
I only got into this because Brock and Wendy Bell
(24:39):
convinced me that I could do a daily show. My
point is that this was never part of my life's plan.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
To do this stuff. It just wasn't.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
But I do remember my dad listening to Rush Limball
when I was a kid. I remember him talking about
Rush Limball when I was a kid, and at the time,
I'm like, who the hell is this guy named Rush? Well,
of course now I know who he is and I
understand what an exceptional talent he really was.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
And now I.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Get to fill in for Klay Travis and Buck Sexton,
both of whom are great guys tomorrow. So I'll be
there tomorrow from twelve to three on the radio in
five hundred cities across the country. And then I got
about an hour drive back from the iHeart studio in Pittsburgh.
That's where I got to drive an hour to the studio.
I got about an hour drive back. So the show
(25:31):
ends at three, get back at four. Plan the show
for tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Night with you.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
It's gonna be a little bit of hectic and crazy,
but it's also a cool opportunity. So please make sure
that you're listening tomorrow. Love to have the battle crew
on board. You're having your moral support means a lot,
all right, Speaker Johnson. So Trump came out today and
endorsed Speaker Johnson. That had some people scratching their heads
(25:58):
a little bit. I understand Mike Johnson has done some
things that have me scratching my head over the last year.
Although you know my perspective on this battle Crew. Any Republican,
I do not envy the job of a Republican speaker.
(26:19):
Any Republican that takes that job within six months will
be labeled a rhino. It's just the way of the
Republican Party. Remember my talk about we the people versus
they the people. How Republicans are the party of we
the people. And because we're the party of we the people,
Republicans that represent different districts all across the country, you
(26:43):
have a very different set of beliefs.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Right.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
A Republican from Western Pennsylvania is different than a Republican
in Florida is different than a Republican in southern California.
Why they're different geographic locations with very different constituents. Democrats,
by contrast, aren't like that party of day the people.
So in other words, Democrat from western Pennsylvania, Democrat from Florida,
(27:06):
Democrat from California, they're all exactly the same, right, they
believe the same thing, they vote the same way. There
are no differences. This is why I don't envy being
a Republican speaker, because it's like hurting cats trying to
whip Republican votes.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
It's a very difficult job.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
This is not me making excuses for Mike Johnson or
Kevin McCarthy before him, or John Bayner before him. None
of this is an excuse for any of these gentlemen.
I'm just trying to explain to you why it's real
pain in the ask to do that job, a real
thankless job. But let me also give you some context.
(27:46):
Mike Johnson, what's kind of handed excuse my language, a
shit sandwich. Yes, he was elected Speaker of the House,
but this was after Kevin McCarthy left after a very
tumultuous period in the House, I mean, and the reason
why he was handed a shit sandwich is because Mike
Johnson stepped into a role that perhaps he might not
have been.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Fully ready and prepared for yet.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Okay, And not only did he step into a role
that he wasn't fully ready and prepared for, yet he
didn't get to appoint any of the Republican committee heads.
So typically a Speaker of the House will put Republicans
and leadership roles. Mike Johnson didn't have an opportunity to
do that either, so he was kind of brought in
as a replacement without the team that he wanted in place.
(28:30):
So but again, none of this is an excuse. I'm
just trying to tell you by way of an example,
just give you a sense of context about why he
might be the way that he is now.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Trump endorsed him today.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I think that's a good move, and the reason is
is because there's not anybody else. Okay, I'm not saying
that there shouldn't be anybody else, but look, it's the
thirtieth vote in what January third, So in a few
days there has not been a single Republican candidate who
(29:08):
has been name dropped, whether it's Jim Jordan or Steve
Scalise or anybody else. There hasn't been a single Republican
consensus candidate that every single Republican in the House of
Representative backs. And the reason why it's important for every
single Republican in the House of Representatives to back whoever
(29:30):
the candidate is, whether it's Mike Johnson or anybody else,
is because right now, I tell you the math, because
I don't think anybody else is really talking about this.
I talked about this on Jesse Kelly's radio show on
Friday night when I filled in for him, talk about
it here with you, and I'm gonna talk about it
on Clay and Buck tomorrow because this is really freaking important.
Right now, there are four hundred and thirty four members
(29:51):
in the United States House of Representatives. Typically that number
is four thirty five, but Matt Gates, when he stepped
into the Attorney General's potentially being Trump Attorney General, he
resigned his seat in Congress. Okay, So the breakdown understanding
that Matt Gates is not going to be a part
of this new Congress is two nineteen Republican to two
(30:12):
fourteen Democrat. So Republicans as of right this second have
a five seat majority. That is a very very slim majority.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
President Trump picked for National Security Advisor Mike Waltz in Florida.
Right now, he remains in the House of Representatives. President
Trump picked at least Stephanic for US Ambassador Ambassador of
the United Nations. Her confirmation here in the United States
Senate will probably be somewhere between January fifteenth and January seventeent.
(30:45):
It's probably somewhere in the middle of January as the point.
So in late January early February, Waltz and Stephanic will resign,
and that means the GOP majority dwindles down to two
seventeen to two fourteen. But here's the reason why this
January third speaker vote poses just a very very real
(31:10):
challenge and also a threat to everything that we fought
for for the last year. Here's the rub the parliamentary
rules in the House of Representatives. The Speaker of the
House has to win an outright majority of all members
casting ballots for someone by name.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
In other words, the person who has the most votes
doesn't win. You remember what happened with McCarthy, right, It
was like McCarthy two fifteen, all Republicans locked in for
him or maybe with a few holdouts in Matt Gates
and others, and it came Jefferies with two to fourteen.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
That doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
That's not a majority of all members of the House
of Representatives. So if we crunch the numbers for Mike
Johnson right, assuming that Mike Waltz and Elis Steffonic remain
in this Congress to vote for a speaker, that means
there are two hundred and nineteen Republicans. So if there
(32:12):
are two hundred and nineteen Republicans and four vote for
someone else besides Mike Johnson, and every single Democrat cast
their ballot for a team Jefferies, which they absolutely will,
the tally then becomes two fifteen to two fourteen. But
Mike Johnson doesn't win because Mike Johnson didn't attain an
(32:36):
outright majority of all members casting ballots for someone by name.
That magic number the fellow members of the battle Crew
is two hundred and eighteen. If all four hundred and
thirty four members vote.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
So.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Mike Johnson loses just a couple of Republicans, the House
will be paralyzed. It will be in this crazy parliamentary paralyzation.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Is that a word? It will be paralyzed. This is
very is very illiterate, right party.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
They can't move on because what happens if you can't
elect the speaker, the House is then compelled by rule
to vote again and again and again for speaker. This
means that that with no speaker, you can't swear in
new members. With no speaker, you can't appoint committee heads.
With no speaker, you absolutely positively cannot pass legislation. You
(33:43):
can't do jack shit in the US House of Representatives
without a Speaker of the House. You know what else
the US House of Representatives cannot do with no speaker.
And this is where it gets very, very very dangerous.
So pay attention. If the House cannot elect a speaker
in a couple of days, they also cannot certify the
(34:05):
election results on January sixth, and so follow me here.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
If this is a long protracted speaker.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Battle and it wages on for a couple of weeks,
which could easily happen, that puts us over January twentieth,
where the election results have not been certified. Now guess
what Biden and Harris are done. So they exit stage right,
They're gone. But since the election has not been certified.
(34:36):
Then you have a situation where you have President Trump
and JD. Vans unable to be sworn in because their
election was never certified. Then you go to the number
three person in the chain of command. Theoretically that would
be the Speaker of the House, but guess what, there's
no Speaker of the House hasn't been elected. So that
then pivots to the Senate. The President pro temp of
(34:57):
the US Senate. Right now, that person is a Democrat,
Patty Murray. If the Senate gets sworn in on January third,
as it looks like they're going to be, that means
Republicans take control under John Thune, and the President pro
temp of the US Senate is Chuck Grassley. And so
(35:18):
then you would have a situation.
Speaker 9 (35:20):
Which could absolutely positively happen where Chuck Grassley, ninety one
year old Chuck Grassley, becomes acting President of the United States.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Here's the other part of this. We've got two years
two years to midterm elections. If we fiddle around and
we squander critical time when this new Congress should be
sworn in, it's going to be very very difficult to
(35:57):
pass very substantive a mayora. First legislation when Trump controls
guaranteed controls all three branches of government. Wow, all three branches.
Let's just say this, the US House, the Senate, and
the White House. You look at what happens historically the
midterms a bad year for an incumbent president. I don't
know if that's gonna happen. What I do know is
(36:18):
we control everything now, and I'd like to wield power
when we actually have it. Is Mike Johnson perfect, Absolutely not.
But right now we don't have a consensus candidate that
every single member of the Republican majority will vote for.
We just don't right now. Thomas Massey, who I like,
and Victorias Sparks, who I also like, have already said
(36:40):
I'm not voting for Speaker Johnson. That means you got
what two more people, one more person that he can
lose before an outright majority of ballots cast by name
out the window.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
So'm I am not willing. I don't. I would rather.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Have a mediocre, imperfoc Speaker of the House who is
a Republican and Mike Johnson, who by the way, is
a conservative guy from Louisiana, then be paralyzed in the
United States House of Representatives early on, which creates chaos.
I you know, Republicans just screw shit up. They just
(37:22):
screw stuff up when we have power this time, I
don't want to do that. When we have power, I
want to wield it. I don't want to look back.
I want to do what's right on behalf of the
American people. We only have two years. And I also
say this, can you imagine? I was talking to him,
my buddy Roan on Steak for Breakfast. That's a great podcast.
(37:43):
I went on his show today. It's a it was
a great America first podcast called Steak for Breakfast.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
But Ron said, you know what else?
Speaker 1 (37:52):
As we talked through and war gamed all of this,
he said, you know what else is kind of messed up.
It went from Trump having, you know, making all his
merch forty seven. What if he had to change it
all to forty eight because Chuck Rasley becomes becomes acting president.
I can't imagine. I can't imagine that Trump. That would
(38:15):
be a very popular thing with President Trump. But folks,
if we squander this opportunity in these two years, there's
no guarantee that Republicans control the House of Representatives in
twenty twenty six, and all of a sudden. I mean, look,
I told you from the very beginning early last year.
(38:37):
Do you remember one of Rich Barris's first episodes with me,
I said, I think Republicans are going to take back
the Senate, but it's going to be a tough go
to hold the House of Representatives. And that was right
and the reason why I understand how the Democrats have
been successful in jerrymandering. So look at this historic victory
that Trump had. The guy won the popular vote, I
(38:58):
mean absolutely believable. Right, was the last time a Republican
won the popular vote? I think you have to go
back to George W. Bush or something in two thousand
and one. But my point is the Dems kept a
razor Republicans only kept a razor thin edge over the
Democrats in the House despite that historic majority, So it
won't take much to swing the pendulum of power back
(39:21):
to Democrat control. And once they control the House of
Representatives again, all of Trump's agenda gets far more difficult.
So I just my point is, I don't I don't
want to mess around. I don't want to mess around
with this folks. I don't want the chaos I want again.
(39:42):
You heard me say it, I'll say it again. Mike
Johnson's imperfect, but I'd rather have somebody imperfect than even
a sniff of the Democrats keeping retaining power, stifling President
Trump's agenda. Speaking of crazy psycho Deemocrats, and I'm looking
at the I'm looking at my god, I'm looking at
(40:06):
I'm looking at this.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Go gosh, five p. Forty three.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
The show is flying by Bill fred in the live chat.
Plus more impeachment nonsense. Bill, you are exactly right. That's
one hundred percent correct, one hundred percent correct. Impeachment starting
the House of Representatives. You can bet your ass that
if the Democrats control the House of Representatives, Trump's gonna
have to go through impeachments again. That is one hundred percent.
(40:29):
So my point is, let's not f around and find
out here. No, Mike Johnson is not perfect, but I
want Trump in the White House. I want Republicans is
Trump has far more power this time. Let's not waste
time so we can actually wield that power and do
everything he can to make this country better and dismantle
(40:49):
the Democrat Party. Okay, so speaking of the Democrats, I
gotta move on Commander Melanie's text me Yes, George W.
Bush lost the popular vote in two thousand, he won
it in two thousand and four. See there's a reason
why Commander Melanie is the commander.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
She sends me.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
These live updates throughout the show keeps me on track.
Thank you to my amazing, brilliant, smart wife. Okay, can
we talk about the Dems doubling down on authoritarian insanity
for just a second. Did you see the news out
of the Daily Mail? First in the Daily Mail, and
then something else came out in the Washington Post. This
(41:31):
in the Daily Mail breaking President Biden is furious at
Attorney General Merrick Garland regrets choosing him after the prosecution
of Trump slowed down ahead.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
Of the election.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
So here you have the extraordinary situation. We're not only
have the Democrats not said, you know what, lawfair just
ain't a good thing for the soul of our country.
Biden and those closest to him said, you just didn't
pursue lawfair aggressively enough. And this goes on from this article.
(42:11):
Listen from the Daily Mail. Democrats believe that if the
Justice Department moved faster on Trump allegedly trying to overturn
the twenty twenty election in mishandling of classified documents, the
incoming president might have faced trial before the recent election,
ultimately damaging his political career. So what's not said here
(42:33):
is that that was the point of the lawfair altogether
to damage and destroy President Trump, I mean, gets my god.
And then then there's this from the Washington Post.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
Check this out. Listen. This is crazy. These people, they
haven't learned anything.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
And that's a good thing for us, but it's also
dangerous for our country because we can't let these ask
clowns ever take power again.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
So here's Washington Post. In private.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Biden has also said he should have picked someone other
than Merrick Garland as Attorney General, complaining about Justice departments
slowness under Garland in prosecuting Trump and its aggressiveness in
prosecuting Hunter Biden or Biden's son Hunter. According to Peeper,
people familiar with his con his people familiar with his comments.
(43:25):
So now Biden thinks that the Department of Justice moved
too slow and didn't aggressively pursue Trump enough.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
All right, look at this, So look like this like.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
Federal election, Federal January sixth, Case four counts related to
overturn the results in the twenty twenty election and obstruct
the certification of electoral vote. The Election Case of Georgia
ten counts related to efforts to reverse the twenty twenty
elections in Georgia. Classified Documents case forty counts related to
possession of classified documents at obstructing efforts to retrieve them.
(44:04):
The Manhattan Hush Hush money case thirty four counts related
to falsifying business records. I mean, and this doesn't even
this doesn't even include the fake case of Egene Carroll.
And here the takeaway from Biden and these moron Dems
after getting their asses kicked in twenty twenty four is
(44:27):
we just didn't do it aggressively enough. This reminds me
so much of the Democrat socialism argument. So it's like, wow,
you know, like we just haven't implemented communism or socialism
right anywhere else. I mean, it's killed hundreds of millions
of people everywhere everywhere else in the world, but here
in America it'll be just right. So something is the
(44:55):
Democrats haven't learned anything. I think ultimately this is good
for Republicans, But did you see today some Democrats are
starting to feel like they might be in the political crosshairs,
political crosshairs of a Trump administration. Did you see the
news today The US Attorney for DC, Matt Graves, the
(45:20):
leader of the prosecutions against January six ers, is resigning
his office as of January sixteenth, just four days before
Trump is to be inaugurated. This guy, this guy absolutely
needs to be prosecuted. I mean, or at least investigated, folks,
(45:42):
because this guy ruined so many people's lives, let so
many criminals off the hook during the Summer of Love
when they tried to burn down Saint John's Church and
laid seeds to the White House and injured and battered, bruised,
bloodied forty plus uniform Secret Service. All those people got
off weren't charged, but January sixth Grandmas were. So we
(46:07):
should definitely be investigating this guy. Absolutely be investigating this guy. Okay,
let me take a quick break and we'll get right
back to it. I promise. Okay, I'm gonna jump ahead
a little bit because I need a longer show. Maybe
someday I'll be as good as Wendy Bell and Brock
and have a three hour radio show. Or we can
(46:29):
talk on then I think I'd still do the podcast
even if that were the case, because I just love
having a personal connection with all of you. So I
do four hours every day, but whatever I feel like,
maybe I feel like maybe I need a little bit
more time.
Speaker 3 (46:43):
But extending the podcast is tough.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
It's because I try to work and work directly with
Rumble on this, and they they take into consideration who's
before and who's after, and so I really just try
to stick to the hour. Also make sure you smash
that like button always. The goal is to try to
get close to four hundred. I realize first day back
still kind of a still kind of the holidays for people.
(47:06):
Tomorrow is going to be New Year's Eve and the
New Year's Day right around the corner. We are going
to be doing shows on New Year's Eve and New
Year's Day. On Friday. I don't think there's going to
be a show stay. I'll tell you why as we
get closer. But I think we've got to be in Washington,
d C. On Friday.
Speaker 3 (47:28):
But I'll keep you posts.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
I'll tell you what that's all about a little bit
later in the week as I get As we get closer,
and that picture gets clearer.
Speaker 3 (47:36):
But listen, I've got to talk to you about the
COVID stuff.
Speaker 1 (47:40):
And there's just stuff that's happening right now that I
think is just really important, folks. The making America healthy again,
the whole thing with RFK Junior. I think it's going
to be a herculean task. I think that RFK Junior
and Donald Trump can do it. But I also think
(48:02):
that this is an urgent, urgent need both medically and spiritually. No,
this is not a religious show, but I always do
talk about the spiritual fight that we face here in
this country, because regardless of what religion you, I guess
this doesn't an atheist. I believe spiritual. I believe the
(48:27):
ground zero is for that fight is right here in America.
There is an interview on Tucker Carlson.
Speaker 3 (48:37):
That I just think you should. You should just just
listen to this.
Speaker 1 (48:41):
Where a lawyer who cross examined a doctor who specializes
in vaccine. The doctor's name is doctor Stanley Plotkin. And
I'm going to play that sound here in a second
two But just listen to what's in some of these
vaccines and tell me I really mean that. I'm gonna
play a couple of minutes of this sound and the
(49:02):
I'm gonna come over to the live chat and I
want to see what you think. And after hearing this,
I want to I want I want to know if
you think there'll be a spiritual reckoning for this.
Speaker 10 (49:14):
Let me explain to you why some people oppose the
MMR vaccine. In every single dose of an MMR shot,
there are literally literally millions of pieces from the cultural
cell line and a border fetus in every single injection.
Now again that might sound crazy, but I could literally
(49:34):
pull up right now the CDC's own ingredient lists for
the MMR vaccine.
Speaker 3 (49:38):
Anybody can do this at home.
Speaker 10 (49:39):
Just google MMR excuse me, Vaccine Excipient List CDC, and
you could pull it up and you could see it
has MRC five w I thirty eight. Those are cultural
cell lines from border fetus. Because you have to grow
viruses in a cell. Viruses won't just grow, They have
to grow in cells. That's how they replicate. They take
(49:59):
over them chinery of itself. So you have to grow
it on a cellular substrate. So how do they grow
to the rebella virus. They grow it on these culture
cell lines from border fetus.
Speaker 3 (50:09):
What do they get aboarded fetuses.
Speaker 10 (50:12):
From baby babies that are aborded.
Speaker 2 (50:14):
From abortion clinics.
Speaker 10 (50:15):
Well, well, well it's it has to be you don't
you can't use So the cells need to be alive. Okay,
so you understand, like the border fetal tissues has to
remain alive to be used. And so you know, I
I depose, for example, the and uh the world's leading vaccinologist,
(50:40):
doctor Stanley plock In, and that the position is actually
available on I can the high wire dot com. The
whole deposition nine hours is available there.
Speaker 2 (50:48):
Parts of it are available on X and yes, I
watched part of it in preparation for this interview, and was,
you know, so shocked and revolted by it. I was
already on your side obviously as a parent of a
child who was vaccine injured. So I'm in tuned with
everything you're saying. But that deposition with doctor Stanley Pockkin,
(51:11):
who's still alive ninety three I checked, was one of
the most shocking things I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (51:15):
In my life.
Speaker 2 (51:15):
You watch the whole thing, no watch selections of it.
Speaker 10 (51:18):
Okay, Yeah, and so then you know about what the
clip I'm about to talk about, which is relating to
just one study that was done that involved over seventy
normally normal, healthy fetuses, right, that would have there was
nothing wrong in the abnormalities that were boarded for the
purposes of this one study.
Speaker 2 (51:35):
And past the first trimester. But they're all older than
three months.
Speaker 10 (51:39):
He said, that's right, that's right, and some of them absolutely.
And what they do is they take they take those
in that one study, those seventy something babies, and they
then they chop them up into little cue each body part.
So they take the tongue, the long the liver, the
every body part, and they chop them up into little
little cubes, and then they try to culture viruses on
them because they want to see which part of the
(52:01):
body can be is the best suited for growing the
virus used.
Speaker 3 (52:06):
In the vaccine.
Speaker 10 (52:07):
And so this is you know, in any event, and
there's a lot anybodyho wants can research about this there.
Speaker 2 (52:13):
So this is answering the question why is this religion?
For some people? There is a I mean, there's some
heavy stuff going on.
Speaker 3 (52:20):
I'm sorry, but there has to be another way to
do this.
Speaker 1 (52:23):
You want to hear a little bit from the deposition
of doctor Stanley Plotkin. I found this video listen tin
egg protein.
Speaker 6 (52:32):
Oh, yes, influenza.
Speaker 11 (52:33):
Do any vaccines contain gelatin from pigs?
Speaker 6 (52:37):
Yes?
Speaker 11 (52:38):
Do any vaccines in the childhood vaccines gold contain human album?
Speaker 1 (52:42):
And?
Speaker 3 (52:43):
Oh yes?
Speaker 11 (52:45):
What is human album in?
Speaker 6 (52:47):
Human album is part of humans Stirum's part of the
blood that is liquid.
Speaker 11 (52:52):
That could be problematic, right, Well, it could be.
Speaker 6 (52:55):
I mean if if the individual is not healthy.
Speaker 11 (53:00):
Or if maybe some of the human blood components bind
to some of the aluminum and develop antibodies self antimodies.
Speaker 6 (53:08):
Correct, if they develop antibodies against a certum component, that
would not be good.
Speaker 11 (53:14):
Do any vaccines in the childhood vaccine schedule contain MRC
five human diploid cells?
Speaker 6 (53:20):
Yes, Rebella virceella hepatitis A.
Speaker 11 (53:26):
What are MRC five cells?
Speaker 6 (53:28):
They are human fibroblast cell strain. They were created by
taking fetal tissue and from a particular fetus that was
aborted by maternal choice, and the cells, the so called
(53:50):
fibroblast cells, were cultivated.
Speaker 11 (53:53):
Do any vaccines on the childhood vaccine schedule contained w
I thirty eight human diploid lung fibroblasts?
Speaker 6 (54:00):
Well, they used to, but I don't think anything is
made in those cells anymore.
Speaker 11 (54:05):
If you could turn to page three for MMR and MMRV.
Do you see that within the ingredient list that lists
w I thirty eight human deploy lung fiberblasts.
Speaker 6 (54:18):
Yes, I do see that.
Speaker 11 (54:20):
Isn't it true that human DNA in vaccines is typically
purposely fragmented?
Speaker 6 (54:25):
Yes, I would say mostly for theoretical reasons. Doesn't want
to put DNA into attact DNA into vaccines.
Speaker 11 (54:38):
These fetiuses worth all three months or older when aboard
it correct? Yes, what organs did you harvest from these features?
Speaker 3 (54:49):
You see?
Speaker 1 (54:50):
Folks, you cannot tell me that there won't be a
spiritual wreckoning for this under I am not anti vaccine
at all, like I understand that vaccines, especially childhood vaccines
like polio vaccine, extremely important, but I also am willing
(55:15):
to be open to thinking about another way. And it
makes me wonder. Actually, I don't wonder why they do it,
because the left is so disingenuous. The hacks or ally
hacks in the media are so disingenuous. But they're attacking
RFK Junior for simply asking questions about vaccines, for simply
(55:39):
saying is this the best way should we be giving
all of these vaccines to small babies? I mean, and
now you come to find out this is what's in
some of these vaccines, it's just hard to You don't need.
Speaker 3 (55:55):
To be a doctor or.
Speaker 1 (55:58):
To have a degree in fis to know that what
you just heard is probably is wrong, it's not not good.
Speaker 3 (56:09):
So I just had to I just had to to
show you that. I had to. I had to.
Speaker 1 (56:17):
Make you aware of that because you know, Look, I
think that the making make America Healthy Again agenda is important.
I think that's definitely one of the reasons why President Trump,
especially why he won, especially in the way that he did,
because I do believe that we're winning that spiritual fight.
I do believe that that good will triumph here, and
(56:41):
I do believe that we represent good. But I think
to make make America Healthy Again agenda has got to
look at some of this stuff because it just isn't right.
Just isn't right. Okay, before we pop smokes, make sure
you smash that like button, that little green thumb at
the video. Don't leave this show without smashing that like button. Also,
(57:04):
do not forget to tune in if you can to

battle to save America with your host Sean Parnell.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Good evening, America, Welcome to Battleground Live. This is the
show where we kick ass, and we take names, and
we lockhorns with the radical left. We never quit, we
never surrender. From sea to shriding Sea and everybody in between.
Welcome patriots. It is great to be back on Battleground
Live on a Monday, in a glorious Monday, it is.
(00:38):
I'm very, very excited, folks. I haven't taken a week
off from whatever it is that I do, which I
mean I say it that way because I've done a
litany of different things over the past four years, but
I never never take time off. And so I will
say I really missed getting it up opportunity to.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Hang out with you every night. I really do.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
It's the highlight of my day to be able to
talk to you and about the news and what's going
on in the world, you know. And I've said it
before and I'll say it again. I am afraid. I
really am legitimately afraid. And I'm gonna keep banging on
this drum until we have a solid answer to this question.
But if what's gonna happen after Trump walks away from
(01:25):
the Oval Office for the last time, What's gonna happen
when Donald J. Trump retires from politics? What will become
of the America First movement? And I worry about that
because you know, every single day there seems to be
little thing here, something there that is contrary to what
(01:46):
this movement is all about that percolates to the surface.
And we're gonna talk about this H one B stuff
because this came out last week. There was a huge
debate on it last week. I didn't have a show
last week. The debate is still raging today. And I
gotta tell you, this stuff pisses me off. And I
think you could probably tell where I'm gonna come down
(02:06):
and land on this. But I'll give you my thoughts
on that here in a second. But I want to
make sure you all smash that like button, that little
green thumb beneath the video. We took last week off,
but before we took the week off, I mean, we
made the leaderboard every single day for the last three weeks.
And that's because of you, and it's because you smash
that like button. Beneath the video, so that helps us
(02:28):
the little rumble button there, a little thumbs up button
that helps us get on the leaderboard. You all have
done an amazing job at that. Also, battle Crew, it's
great to see you all. I'm seeing all the names
in the live chat. You said you'd be back, and
you are back, and I'm telling you it's great to
see you all. I'm so excited to see all your
names back in there. The day is not the same
(02:49):
without you. Also, to my buddy Dan Nunn and all
the nun chucks over from the Nun Report who raided
this stream today, thank you.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
We love you.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Any members of the battle Crew and a groin Nation
that are looking for a great show to follow, go
and follow the Nun Report. He's on this chat right now.
Check him out. He's got a great show that he
does as well. And I think you really want to
check out as much independent media as possible.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I think that independent media is the future.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I think that, you know, the Fox News is of
the world, the Newsmas of the world. Yes, people watch them,
they love them, They've got fans there. Conservatives are fans
of these networks. But I think what we're doing is
the future. So what's starting out as small and powerful
could grow and verging into something really great. So find
(03:36):
people that you trust, find people that you believe in.
You know, it doesn't require that you agree one hundred
percent of the time. You're not going to agree one
hundred percent of the time with anybody. But find people
that you trust that will give you a no bullshit
assessment of the situation. And seriously, I nothing to me. Well,
(03:57):
I'll say this, let me, let me take a step back.
Few things are are worse to me than a fence sitter.
All my life, I feel like I have come across
the path of fence sitters on issues of great importance.
Ah well, I'm just gonna be right. I don't want
to speak out. I don't want people to be mad
at me. What will people think of me if I
(04:20):
take a position on the vaccine or what will what
will people think of me if I speak out against
these lockdowns? Or what will people think of me if
I if I run foul of the traditional Republican talking
points of h one B's visas. I'm sorry, I'm over
that shit. No more fence sitters. We cannot live our
(04:40):
life in the gray. You know, pick a damn side
and fight for it, right, I know what side you're
all on.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I mean, I get it.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
But damn I would rather know that someone has a side,
so at least I know where they are and a
specific issue, and hell.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
We'll meet in the middle.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Maybe maybe that's what consensus this is all about, or
maybe we don't. I'm tired of this living in the gray.
Let me tell you, folks, Christmas break for Fort Parnell
and I got you know, my oldest daughter Katie got
me this awesome Fort Parnell sign and she made it
in school and metal shop and it was pretty damn amazing.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I loved it. It was a great gift.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
It is sitting right in my entryway as you come
into the kitchen, says Fort Parnell right over there.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
But it's pretty awesome.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
And another thing I'll say, you always worry maybe I'm crazy. Okay,
if I'm crazy, listen, I'm coming over here to the
live chat. I'm sure that many of you all have
children of your own, or you're raising kids, or you've
got grandkids, or you have nieces, nephews whatever. I feel
(05:55):
like every year Christmas.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I mean, obviously it's a very spar time for my family.
But I just I just feel like.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Time is short with my kids for some reason. And
don't take it the way that I think it's coming across.
I don't mean it time is.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
I mean that.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I only have so much time to celebrate Christmas with
my children when they're all little. And one of my buddies,
his name is Saraj, was sending me he works for Rumble.
He was sending me pictures. He's got his little his
little girl, who's I think a one year old. She's
dressed up and a snow white costume for Christmas. And
you see her like wobbling out and stumps you got
(06:40):
a little diaper on, stumbling over to the Christmas presence.
She's completely overwhelmed. I mean all of our kids. I
mean my youngest kid is eleven, he'll be twelve in January.
All of our kids and a year from now we
have all teenagers. Our senior is already applying to colleges.
(07:00):
And I just, I just it's just, on one hand,
every Christmas is amazing and wonderful, but it's also a
bittersweet because again, you only have a limited time with
your children, and so that leads me to you know,
I mean, that's part of the reason why I wanted
to take last week off so I was there with
them and could be present in the moment, because I
(07:22):
just think that once that time is gone, you never
get it back. And that's also why I say time
is our most valuable and precious asset because of spending
time with your kids when they're little. Never get that
time back.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
So we got the oldest. She's a senior now.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
As I told you, she's applying to college. We came
out for Christmas morning, all ready to go down and
see what Santa left around the.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Tree, and.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
All of the kids were camped out outside our bedroom
and they had their little blankets. They were all still waiting,
which tell me that I think our family were not perfect.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
We're far from it. We have issues like every other family,
believe me.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
But it tells me that I think as parents, both
Commander Melanie and I are doing something right. We must
be doing something right if of our children still, at
some level, even as they're getting older, have that love
of Christmas and understand what the season is all about.
And they're all sitting there together as a family outside
our bedroom where Melanie and I walk out and they're
all right there, excited for Christmas. It's a special time
(08:33):
and I'm glad to be able to tell you all
that story because many of you are like members of
my family now too. I mean, seriously, I've said this before,
and I mean this. We spend an hour together every
single day.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I mean, like maybe we're.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Not physically there, but we spend an hour together every day,
and so over time, you know, you build up a
bond with people like that, and I'm glad to have
that type of bond with all of you. I'm okay,
before we jump into the H one B debate, I
stumbled across this inauguration video. I stumbled across this inauguration
(09:12):
video of Trump's speech in twenty sixteen coming into the
Oval office, and I just think it's important because we're
about to cross you know, it's about to be inauguration
time again, and now knowing everything that we know now,
everything that the Deep State and these Democrats and some
(09:33):
establishment Republicans put President Trump through, now, I want you
to keep all of that insane stuff in the forefront
of your mind as you listen or watch this SoundBite
and ask yourself we really ask yourself, does this man
or did this man deserve what he got?
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Just just listen.
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be
heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Every hall of power.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
From this day forward, it's going to.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Be only America First.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
America First.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign
affairs will be made to benefit American workers and American families.
We must protect our borders from the ravages of other
countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs.
(10:59):
Protection lead to great prosperity and strength.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I will fight for you with every.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Breath in my body, and I will never ever let
you down. America will start winning again, winning like never before.
(11:27):
We will bring back our jobs.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
We will bring back our borders.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
We will bring back our wealth, and we will bring
back our dreams.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
We will build.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
New roads and highways, and bridges, and airports and tunnels
and railways all across.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Our wonderful nation.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
We will get our people off of wealth and back
to work, rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor.
We will follow two simple rules. By American and hire American.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Now do you know why I pulled that.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Because I think and that speech, that clip that I
just showed you of, that speech outlines what it means
to be America first in two minutes, in twenty six seconds,
being America first means actually putting this country and our
(12:49):
citizens before anything else. You see, I think that Democrat Republican.
I don't give a damn about your political party if
I do, but just for the sake of the argument,
you have a responsibility and an obligation to the American
people first last in all ways. And so that's why
(13:10):
this H one B visa debate gets me so fired up,
because we should be investing in our people. We should
be investing in American education. We should be asking these
universities that have billions of dollars in endowment and take
(13:32):
taxpayer money why they're not churning out graduates who are
ready to go and support the American workforce. We should
be investing in our families. We should be investing in
what it means to have a strong family life in
American culture right. We should be investing in work skills
(13:52):
for the American people. Over the last week, again off,
so I didn't have an outlet for this stuff.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
You see, all of this.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Testimony on social media has been brought forth by family
members or people who have really suffered at the hands
of the H one B program, People who say work
at Disney or a big tech company out in California
or some other fortune five hundred company where they were
told that they needed to train, They were given their
sixty to ninety day notice, they were told that they
(14:22):
needed to train their replacement. And over the time that
they trained their replacement, they also learned that their replacement
was making half the money that they were, with no benefits.
And oh, by the way, they weren't US citizens. They
were here on this special H ONEB visa program that
should never happen in America. And here's why we live
(14:50):
in a country, not just an economy. I am a capitalist,
I am a free guy, but just like I'm a
free trade guy as well, except for if free trade
is not fair, then it's not free trade. For example,
(15:11):
if China is manipulating their currency and dumping cheap steel
in American markets and we're closing down steel manufacturing facilities
and trade workers, American trade workers are getting put out
of work because those facilities are closed down. That ain't
a free trade relationship with China. That is China manipulating
the markets. And likewise, we should not allow American companies
(15:33):
to manipulate the markets by hiring foreign workers paying them
half the wages that they would pay American people with
no benefits. It drives me crazy, this program. Non listen,
I'm not advocating. Don't abandon me right off. I'm gonna
give you a perspective here. I'm not advocating abandoning the
(15:55):
H one B program. I'm not. What I am saying
is that it needs to be seriously reformed so that
it does not undercut the American worker. I'm sorry, you'd
be hard pressed to make an argument for H one
b's when we've had ten plus million illegal aliens who
have come across our border, probably a lot more than
(16:16):
that over the last four years of the Biden administration,
and you've had foreign born workers outpaced that of native
born Americans in the job market over the last four years. Houston, America.
We have a real problem on our hands here. So
to just go back to the old hell, Hey, H
one B program, it's great. We want to bring in
(16:37):
the best and brightest. Well, you know what are we
really bringing in the best and brightest here? I mean seriously,
because I've seen companies apply for H one at list
H one B job positions that are janitor, secretary, entry
level positions like that for H one B workers.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I'm sorry, shouldn't happen. Now we're an H one.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
B visa where hey, we can have a let's have
a conversation about perhaps bringing in the best and the brightest. Okay,
And I mean this, Listen, if there's an Einstein level
person out there, like the US brought in Einstein during
World War Two to help us develop the atomic bomb,
which eventually brought forth an end of the war in Japan,
(17:25):
I'm fine with that, but they gotta they gotta be
top top, top, top of the notch genius level intellect,
have something to offer this country and want to assimilate
and want to be an American citizen and want to
come here. I'm fine with bringing people like that here,
But guess what, there aren't millions of people like that
(17:47):
out there. I'm just saying, it's just it's just the truth.
The counter argument to that. Now, again, I still believe
we should I want those people here. I don't want
Russia or China, China snatching up those people. I'd like
to have them here in America. But these are like
less than one percent of the people that would come
here on this program. That's a fact. There's also an
(18:13):
argument that you say, patriotic people, people that want to
come to the to America. They're patriots, they're smart. Maybe
they have something to offer, but you know what doesn't
India and Pakistan and some of these other countries. Don't
they need their own Thomas Jefferson's and Benjamin Franklin's to
(18:34):
build their own country up. I mean, there's I really
do think that there's something to that argument. If the
best in the brightest state in their countries and build
their own countries up, would that not lead to some
form of at least global economic stability. I mean, I mean, look,
this isn't when I say that Americans have been for
(19:00):
in some cases to train their replacements who were H
one B visa holders. Listen, don't trust me. I think
this is CBS. Listen to them.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
American workers are losing job because of a law designed
to help the job market, the H one B visa
bill was written in nineteen ninety. It lets companies recruit
foreign talent for merging, engineering and scientific jobs, but loopholes
allow for outsourcing of American jobs to foreign workers, often
at lower pay. Bill Whitaker spoke to some Americans displaced
(19:31):
by H one B Visa workers for Sunday sixty minutes.
They say they were asked to train workers who would
take their jobs.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
It wasn't called training or replacement, it was called knowledge transfer.
Speaker 7 (19:45):
Craig DiAngelo worked for Northeast Utilities now called ever Source,
and was one of two hundred and twenty IT workers
replaced by H one B Visa employees. Dangelo says his
replacement a worker from India. I told him he was
making half di'angelo's salary with no benefits.
Speaker 5 (20:05):
I didn't get laid off for lack of work.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
I got laid off because somebody cheaper could do my job.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
We met with this group of workers who all had
to train replacements. Leo Perrero had just received high performance
reviews from Disney when he was called into a personnel meeting.
He expected a raise under promotion, and instead.
Speaker 8 (20:31):
I was given the news that in ninety days my
job was over, and I had to train my replacement.
Never in my life did I imagine until this happened
at Disney, that I could be sitting at my desk
and somebody would be flown in from another country, sit
at my same desk and chair and take over what
I was doing. It was the most humiliating and demoralizing
(20:53):
thing I've ever gone through my life.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Shouldn't happen in America, and I think people are are
a little confused because Trump. President Trump released a statement
saying he likes the visas. But listen, I think that
I don't think he. I think maybe he was confused
about the H two A visas and H two B visas.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
President Trump uses.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Those at his hotels all the time. You know, two
A and two B visas are for hotels, tourism, seasonal employees.
Trump uses those. I'm not sure that Trump has any
And look, I don't know for sure, but I'd be
willing to bet that those are the visas that President
Trump relies on for his own businesses. But nevertheless, we
(21:46):
really should be putting an endeavor to always put the
American people first. That's why President Trump won, That's why
Republicans control the House of representatives. That's why Republicans control
the United States Senate right now, and state houses and
state governments all across the country because of a pledge
to put the American people first. Because the American people
(22:08):
are really hurting right now. And look, I'm sorry, it's
not a stretch of the imagination. You don't have to
think too hard about why the American people might be
pissed off about this, right the American people are hurting.
Why are we offering you know, why are we giving
(22:30):
away jobs that could be held by Americans to foreign
born workers for next to no pay? Now, you know,
free market capitalists or old guard Republicans would just say, well,
Americans don't want to do coding jobs for twenty five
grand a year. Okay, fine, pay more, pay more, pay
a competitive wage, pay enough so that American workers actually
(22:51):
want to do the work.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
We live in a country, not just an economy. That's
my thought on the matter. And speaking of the House
of Representatives, can we talk, folks for a minute about
what's coming around the corner with Speaker Johnson, And we
are about to and I'm about to take you down
a rabbit hole here, Speaker of the House parliamentary procedure.
(23:16):
It could be some really really crazy stuff happening. But
I've got to take a quick break. And while I'm
taking a quick break, smash that like button, that little
green thumb beneath the video. Man, it's good to be back, folks.
I'm telling you this Speaker of the House stuff. You've
got to be aware of what's coming. You know, Trump
endorsed speaker Mike Johnson, Like looks speaker Johnson is imperfect in.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
A lot of ways. Just hear me out.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
On this and why I think Trump is right on
this one. Yeah, folks, quick admin stuff. So tomorrow, I
forgot to say this at the top of the show.
I'm doing a show tomorrow, Yes, but I'm also filling
in from twelve to three for Klay, Travis and Buck Sexton. Now,
(24:06):
I was texting Brock by the way, who is Wendy
Bell's producer extraordinaire Brock Star, And he was like, that's
a pretty big fill in, and I just said, yeah,
it's kind of cool.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
A little bit nervous about it.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
They're on five hundred radio stations and I think that
they took over Rush Limbaugh's spot on the radio so
for me to be able to even have an opportunity
to fill in on that what a blessing. And it
really is kind of crazy, because I'll tell you another thing,
I only got into this because Brock and Wendy Bell
(24:39):
convinced me that I could do a daily show. My
point is that this was never part of my life's plan.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
To do this stuff. It just wasn't.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
But I do remember my dad listening to Rush Limball
when I was a kid. I remember him talking about
Rush Limball when I was a kid, and at the time,
I'm like, who the hell is this guy named Rush? Well,
of course now I know who he is and I
understand what an exceptional talent he really was.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
And now I.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Get to fill in for Klay Travis and Buck Sexton,
both of whom are great guys tomorrow. So I'll be
there tomorrow from twelve to three on the radio in
five hundred cities across the country. And then I got
about an hour drive back from the iHeart studio in Pittsburgh.
That's where I got to drive an hour to the studio.
I got about an hour drive back. So the show
(25:31):
ends at three, get back at four. Plan the show
for tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Night with you.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
It's gonna be a little bit of hectic and crazy,
but it's also a cool opportunity. So please make sure
that you're listening tomorrow. Love to have the battle crew
on board. You're having your moral support means a lot,
all right, Speaker Johnson. So Trump came out today and
endorsed Speaker Johnson. That had some people scratching their heads
(25:58):
a little bit. I understand Mike Johnson has done some
things that have me scratching my head over the last year.
Although you know my perspective on this battle Crew. Any Republican,
I do not envy the job of a Republican speaker.
(26:19):
Any Republican that takes that job within six months will
be labeled a rhino. It's just the way of the
Republican Party. Remember my talk about we the people versus
they the people. How Republicans are the party of we
the people. And because we're the party of we the people,
Republicans that represent different districts all across the country, you
(26:43):
have a very different set of beliefs.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Right.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
A Republican from Western Pennsylvania is different than a Republican
in Florida is different than a Republican in southern California.
Why they're different geographic locations with very different constituents. Democrats,
by contrast, aren't like that party of day the people.
So in other words, Democrat from western Pennsylvania, Democrat from Florida,
(27:06):
Democrat from California, they're all exactly the same, right, they
believe the same thing, they vote the same way. There
are no differences. This is why I don't envy being
a Republican speaker, because it's like hurting cats trying to
whip Republican votes.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
It's a very difficult job.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
This is not me making excuses for Mike Johnson or
Kevin McCarthy before him, or John Bayner before him. None
of this is an excuse for any of these gentlemen.
I'm just trying to explain to you why it's real
pain in the ask to do that job, a real
thankless job. But let me also give you some context.
(27:46):
Mike Johnson, what's kind of handed excuse my language, a
shit sandwich. Yes, he was elected Speaker of the House,
but this was after Kevin McCarthy left after a very
tumultuous period in the House, I mean, and the reason
why he was handed a shit sandwich is because Mike
Johnson stepped into a role that perhaps he might not
have been.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Fully ready and prepared for yet.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Okay, And not only did he step into a role
that he wasn't fully ready and prepared for, yet he
didn't get to appoint any of the Republican committee heads.
So typically a Speaker of the House will put Republicans
and leadership roles. Mike Johnson didn't have an opportunity to
do that either, so he was kind of brought in
as a replacement without the team that he wanted in place.
(28:30):
So but again, none of this is an excuse. I'm
just trying to tell you by way of an example,
just give you a sense of context about why he
might be the way that he is now.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Trump endorsed him today.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I think that's a good move, and the reason is
is because there's not anybody else. Okay, I'm not saying
that there shouldn't be anybody else, but look, it's the
thirtieth vote in what January third, So in a few
days there has not been a single Republican candidate who
(29:08):
has been name dropped, whether it's Jim Jordan or Steve
Scalise or anybody else. There hasn't been a single Republican
consensus candidate that every single Republican in the House of
Representative backs. And the reason why it's important for every
single Republican in the House of Representatives to back whoever
(29:30):
the candidate is, whether it's Mike Johnson or anybody else,
is because right now, I tell you the math, because
I don't think anybody else is really talking about this.
I talked about this on Jesse Kelly's radio show on
Friday night when I filled in for him, talk about
it here with you, and I'm gonna talk about it
on Clay and Buck tomorrow because this is really freaking important.
Right now, there are four hundred and thirty four members
(29:51):
in the United States House of Representatives. Typically that number
is four thirty five, but Matt Gates, when he stepped
into the Attorney General's potentially being Trump Attorney General, he
resigned his seat in Congress. Okay, So the breakdown understanding
that Matt Gates is not going to be a part
of this new Congress is two nineteen Republican to two
(30:12):
fourteen Democrat. So Republicans as of right this second have
a five seat majority. That is a very very slim majority.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
President Trump picked for National Security Advisor Mike Waltz in Florida.
Right now, he remains in the House of Representatives. President
Trump picked at least Stephanic for US Ambassador Ambassador of
the United Nations. Her confirmation here in the United States
Senate will probably be somewhere between January fifteenth and January seventeent.
(30:45):
It's probably somewhere in the middle of January as the point.
So in late January early February, Waltz and Stephanic will resign,
and that means the GOP majority dwindles down to two
seventeen to two fourteen. But here's the reason why this
January third speaker vote poses just a very very real
(31:10):
challenge and also a threat to everything that we fought
for for the last year. Here's the rub the parliamentary
rules in the House of Representatives. The Speaker of the
House has to win an outright majority of all members
casting ballots for someone by name.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
In other words, the person who has the most votes
doesn't win. You remember what happened with McCarthy, right, It
was like McCarthy two fifteen, all Republicans locked in for
him or maybe with a few holdouts in Matt Gates
and others, and it came Jefferies with two to fourteen.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
That doesn't work.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
That's not a majority of all members of the House
of Representatives. So if we crunch the numbers for Mike
Johnson right, assuming that Mike Waltz and Elis Steffonic remain
in this Congress to vote for a speaker, that means
there are two hundred and nineteen Republicans. So if there
(32:12):
are two hundred and nineteen Republicans and four vote for
someone else besides Mike Johnson, and every single Democrat cast
their ballot for a team Jefferies, which they absolutely will,
the tally then becomes two fifteen to two fourteen. But
Mike Johnson doesn't win because Mike Johnson didn't attain an
(32:36):
outright majority of all members casting ballots for someone by name.
That magic number the fellow members of the battle Crew
is two hundred and eighteen. If all four hundred and
thirty four members vote.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
So.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Mike Johnson loses just a couple of Republicans, the House
will be paralyzed. It will be in this crazy parliamentary paralyzation.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Is that a word? It will be paralyzed. This is
very is very illiterate, right party.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
They can't move on because what happens if you can't
elect the speaker, the House is then compelled by rule
to vote again and again and again for speaker. This
means that that with no speaker, you can't swear in
new members. With no speaker, you can't appoint committee heads.
With no speaker, you absolutely positively cannot pass legislation. You
(33:43):
can't do jack shit in the US House of Representatives
without a Speaker of the House. You know what else
the US House of Representatives cannot do with no speaker.
And this is where it gets very, very very dangerous.
So pay attention. If the House cannot elect a speaker
in a couple of days, they also cannot certify the
(34:05):
election results on January sixth, and so follow me here.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
If this is a long protracted speaker.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Battle and it wages on for a couple of weeks,
which could easily happen, that puts us over January twentieth,
where the election results have not been certified. Now guess
what Biden and Harris are done. So they exit stage right,
They're gone. But since the election has not been certified.
(34:36):
Then you have a situation where you have President Trump
and JD. Vans unable to be sworn in because their
election was never certified. Then you go to the number
three person in the chain of command. Theoretically that would
be the Speaker of the House, but guess what, there's
no Speaker of the House hasn't been elected. So that
then pivots to the Senate. The President pro temp of
(34:57):
the US Senate. Right now, that person is a Democrat,
Patty Murray. If the Senate gets sworn in on January third,
as it looks like they're going to be, that means
Republicans take control under John Thune, and the President pro
temp of the US Senate is Chuck Grassley. And so
(35:18):
then you would have a situation.
Speaker 9 (35:20):
Which could absolutely positively happen where Chuck Grassley, ninety one
year old Chuck Grassley, becomes acting President of the United States.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Here's the other part of this. We've got two years
two years to midterm elections. If we fiddle around and
we squander critical time when this new Congress should be
sworn in, it's going to be very very difficult to
(35:57):
pass very substantive a mayora. First legislation when Trump controls
guaranteed controls all three branches of government. Wow, all three branches.
Let's just say this, the US House, the Senate, and
the White House. You look at what happens historically the
midterms a bad year for an incumbent president. I don't
know if that's gonna happen. What I do know is
(36:18):
we control everything now, and I'd like to wield power
when we actually have it. Is Mike Johnson perfect, Absolutely not.
But right now we don't have a consensus candidate that
every single member of the Republican majority will vote for.
We just don't right now. Thomas Massey, who I like,
and Victorias Sparks, who I also like, have already said
(36:40):
I'm not voting for Speaker Johnson. That means you got
what two more people, one more person that he can
lose before an outright majority of ballots cast by name
out the window.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
So'm I am not willing. I don't. I would rather.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Have a mediocre, imperfoc Speaker of the House who is
a Republican and Mike Johnson, who by the way, is
a conservative guy from Louisiana, then be paralyzed in the
United States House of Representatives early on, which creates chaos.
I you know, Republicans just screw shit up. They just
(37:22):
screw stuff up when we have power this time, I
don't want to do that. When we have power, I
want to wield it. I don't want to look back.
I want to do what's right on behalf of the
American people. We only have two years. And I also
say this, can you imagine? I was talking to him,
my buddy Roan on Steak for Breakfast. That's a great podcast.
(37:43):
I went on his show today. It's a it was
a great America first podcast called Steak for Breakfast.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
But Ron said, you know what else?
Speaker 1 (37:52):
As we talked through and war gamed all of this,
he said, you know what else is kind of messed up.
It went from Trump having, you know, making all his
merch forty seven. What if he had to change it
all to forty eight because Chuck Rasley becomes becomes acting president.
I can't imagine. I can't imagine that Trump. That would
(38:15):
be a very popular thing with President Trump. But folks,
if we squander this opportunity in these two years, there's
no guarantee that Republicans control the House of Representatives in
twenty twenty six, and all of a sudden. I mean, look,
I told you from the very beginning early last year.
(38:37):
Do you remember one of Rich Barris's first episodes with me,
I said, I think Republicans are going to take back
the Senate, but it's going to be a tough go
to hold the House of Representatives. And that was right
and the reason why I understand how the Democrats have
been successful in jerrymandering. So look at this historic victory
that Trump had. The guy won the popular vote, I
(38:58):
mean absolutely believable. Right, was the last time a Republican
won the popular vote? I think you have to go
back to George W. Bush or something in two thousand
and one. But my point is the Dems kept a
razor Republicans only kept a razor thin edge over the
Democrats in the House despite that historic majority, So it
won't take much to swing the pendulum of power back
(39:21):
to Democrat control. And once they control the House of
Representatives again, all of Trump's agenda gets far more difficult.
So I just my point is, I don't I don't
want to mess around. I don't want to mess around
with this folks. I don't want the chaos I want again.
(39:42):
You heard me say it, I'll say it again. Mike
Johnson's imperfect, but I'd rather have somebody imperfect than even
a sniff of the Democrats keeping retaining power, stifling President
Trump's agenda. Speaking of crazy psycho Deemocrats, and I'm looking
at the I'm looking at my god, I'm looking at
(40:06):
I'm looking at this.
Speaker 3 (40:07):
Go gosh, five p. Forty three.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
The show is flying by Bill fred in the live chat.
Plus more impeachment nonsense. Bill, you are exactly right. That's
one hundred percent correct, one hundred percent correct. Impeachment starting
the House of Representatives. You can bet your ass that
if the Democrats control the House of Representatives, Trump's gonna
have to go through impeachments again. That is one hundred percent.
(40:29):
So my point is, let's not f around and find
out here. No, Mike Johnson is not perfect, but I
want Trump in the White House. I want Republicans is
Trump has far more power this time. Let's not waste
time so we can actually wield that power and do
everything he can to make this country better and dismantle
(40:49):
the Democrat Party. Okay, so speaking of the Democrats, I
gotta move on Commander Melanie's text me Yes, George W.
Bush lost the popular vote in two thousand, he won
it in two thousand and four. See there's a reason
why Commander Melanie is the commander.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
She sends me.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
These live updates throughout the show keeps me on track.
Thank you to my amazing, brilliant, smart wife. Okay, can
we talk about the Dems doubling down on authoritarian insanity
for just a second. Did you see the news out
of the Daily Mail? First in the Daily Mail, and
then something else came out in the Washington Post. This
(41:31):
in the Daily Mail breaking President Biden is furious at
Attorney General Merrick Garland regrets choosing him after the prosecution
of Trump slowed down ahead.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
Of the election.
Speaker 1 (41:45):
So here you have the extraordinary situation. We're not only
have the Democrats not said, you know what, lawfair just
ain't a good thing for the soul of our country.
Biden and those closest to him said, you just didn't
pursue lawfair aggressively enough. And this goes on from this article.
(42:11):
Listen from the Daily Mail. Democrats believe that if the
Justice Department moved faster on Trump allegedly trying to overturn
the twenty twenty election in mishandling of classified documents, the
incoming president might have faced trial before the recent election,
ultimately damaging his political career. So what's not said here
(42:33):
is that that was the point of the lawfair altogether
to damage and destroy President Trump, I mean, gets my god.
And then then there's this from the Washington Post.
Speaker 3 (42:46):
Check this out. Listen. This is crazy. These people, they
haven't learned anything.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
And that's a good thing for us, but it's also
dangerous for our country because we can't let these ask
clowns ever take power again.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
So here's Washington Post. In private.
Speaker 1 (43:00):
Biden has also said he should have picked someone other
than Merrick Garland as Attorney General, complaining about Justice departments
slowness under Garland in prosecuting Trump and its aggressiveness in
prosecuting Hunter Biden or Biden's son Hunter. According to Peeper,
people familiar with his con his people familiar with his comments.
(43:25):
So now Biden thinks that the Department of Justice moved
too slow and didn't aggressively pursue Trump enough.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
All right, look at this, So look like this like.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
Federal election, Federal January sixth, Case four counts related to
overturn the results in the twenty twenty election and obstruct
the certification of electoral vote. The Election Case of Georgia
ten counts related to efforts to reverse the twenty twenty
elections in Georgia. Classified Documents case forty counts related to
possession of classified documents at obstructing efforts to retrieve them.
(44:04):
The Manhattan Hush Hush money case thirty four counts related
to falsifying business records. I mean, and this doesn't even
this doesn't even include the fake case of Egene Carroll.
And here the takeaway from Biden and these moron Dems
after getting their asses kicked in twenty twenty four is
(44:27):
we just didn't do it aggressively enough. This reminds me
so much of the Democrat socialism argument. So it's like, wow,
you know, like we just haven't implemented communism or socialism
right anywhere else. I mean, it's killed hundreds of millions
of people everywhere everywhere else in the world, but here
in America it'll be just right. So something is the
(44:55):
Democrats haven't learned anything. I think ultimately this is good
for Republicans, But did you see today some Democrats are
starting to feel like they might be in the political crosshairs,
political crosshairs of a Trump administration. Did you see the
news today The US Attorney for DC, Matt Graves, the
(45:20):
leader of the prosecutions against January six ers, is resigning
his office as of January sixteenth, just four days before
Trump is to be inaugurated. This guy, this guy absolutely
needs to be prosecuted. I mean, or at least investigated, folks,
(45:42):
because this guy ruined so many people's lives, let so
many criminals off the hook during the Summer of Love
when they tried to burn down Saint John's Church and
laid seeds to the White House and injured and battered, bruised,
bloodied forty plus uniform Secret Service. All those people got
off weren't charged, but January sixth Grandmas were. So we
(46:07):
should definitely be investigating this guy. Absolutely be investigating this guy. Okay,
let me take a quick break and we'll get right
back to it. I promise. Okay, I'm gonna jump ahead
a little bit because I need a longer show. Maybe
someday I'll be as good as Wendy Bell and Brock
and have a three hour radio show. Or we can
(46:29):
talk on then I think I'd still do the podcast
even if that were the case, because I just love
having a personal connection with all of you. So I
do four hours every day, but whatever I feel like,
maybe I feel like maybe I need a little bit
more time.
Speaker 3 (46:43):
But extending the podcast is tough.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
It's because I try to work and work directly with
Rumble on this, and they they take into consideration who's
before and who's after, and so I really just try
to stick to the hour. Also make sure you smash
that like button always. The goal is to try to
get close to four hundred. I realize first day back
still kind of a still kind of the holidays for people.
(47:06):
Tomorrow is going to be New Year's Eve and the
New Year's Day right around the corner. We are going
to be doing shows on New Year's Eve and New
Year's Day. On Friday. I don't think there's going to
be a show stay. I'll tell you why as we
get closer. But I think we've got to be in Washington,
d C. On Friday.
Speaker 3 (47:28):
But I'll keep you posts.
Speaker 1 (47:29):
I'll tell you what that's all about a little bit
later in the week as I get As we get closer,
and that picture gets clearer.
Speaker 3 (47:36):
But listen, I've got to talk to you about the
COVID stuff.
Speaker 1 (47:40):
And there's just stuff that's happening right now that I
think is just really important, folks. The making America healthy again,
the whole thing with RFK Junior. I think it's going
to be a herculean task. I think that RFK Junior
and Donald Trump can do it. But I also think
(48:02):
that this is an urgent, urgent need both medically and spiritually. No,
this is not a religious show, but I always do
talk about the spiritual fight that we face here in
this country, because regardless of what religion you, I guess
this doesn't an atheist. I believe spiritual. I believe the
(48:27):
ground zero is for that fight is right here in America.
There is an interview on Tucker Carlson.
Speaker 3 (48:37):
That I just think you should. You should just just
listen to this.
Speaker 1 (48:41):
Where a lawyer who cross examined a doctor who specializes
in vaccine. The doctor's name is doctor Stanley Plotkin. And
I'm going to play that sound here in a second
two But just listen to what's in some of these
vaccines and tell me I really mean that. I'm gonna
play a couple of minutes of this sound and the
(49:02):
I'm gonna come over to the live chat and I
want to see what you think. And after hearing this,
I want to I want I want to know if
you think there'll be a spiritual reckoning for this.
Speaker 10 (49:14):
Let me explain to you why some people oppose the
MMR vaccine. In every single dose of an MMR shot,
there are literally literally millions of pieces from the cultural
cell line and a border fetus in every single injection.
Now again that might sound crazy, but I could literally
(49:34):
pull up right now the CDC's own ingredient lists for
the MMR vaccine.
Speaker 3 (49:38):
Anybody can do this at home.
Speaker 10 (49:39):
Just google MMR excuse me, Vaccine Excipient List CDC, and
you could pull it up and you could see it
has MRC five w I thirty eight. Those are cultural
cell lines from border fetus. Because you have to grow
viruses in a cell. Viruses won't just grow, They have
to grow in cells. That's how they replicate. They take
(49:59):
over them chinery of itself. So you have to grow
it on a cellular substrate. So how do they grow
to the rebella virus. They grow it on these culture
cell lines from border fetus.
Speaker 3 (50:09):
What do they get aboarded fetuses.
Speaker 10 (50:12):
From baby babies that are aborded.
Speaker 2 (50:14):
From abortion clinics.
Speaker 10 (50:15):
Well, well, well it's it has to be you don't
you can't use So the cells need to be alive. Okay,
so you understand, like the border fetal tissues has to
remain alive to be used. And so you know, I
I depose, for example, the and uh the world's leading vaccinologist,
(50:40):
doctor Stanley plock In, and that the position is actually
available on I can the high wire dot com. The
whole deposition nine hours is available there.
Speaker 2 (50:48):
Parts of it are available on X and yes, I
watched part of it in preparation for this interview, and was,
you know, so shocked and revolted by it. I was
already on your side obviously as a parent of a
child who was vaccine injured. So I'm in tuned with
everything you're saying. But that deposition with doctor Stanley Pockkin,
(51:11):
who's still alive ninety three I checked, was one of
the most shocking things I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (51:15):
In my life.
Speaker 2 (51:15):
You watch the whole thing, no watch selections of it.
Speaker 10 (51:18):
Okay, Yeah, and so then you know about what the
clip I'm about to talk about, which is relating to
just one study that was done that involved over seventy
normally normal, healthy fetuses, right, that would have there was
nothing wrong in the abnormalities that were boarded for the
purposes of this one study.
Speaker 2 (51:35):
And past the first trimester. But they're all older than
three months.
Speaker 10 (51:39):
He said, that's right, that's right, and some of them absolutely.
And what they do is they take they take those
in that one study, those seventy something babies, and they
then they chop them up into little cue each body part.
So they take the tongue, the long the liver, the
every body part, and they chop them up into little
little cubes, and then they try to culture viruses on
them because they want to see which part of the
(52:01):
body can be is the best suited for growing the
virus used.
Speaker 3 (52:06):
In the vaccine.
Speaker 10 (52:07):
And so this is you know, in any event, and
there's a lot anybodyho wants can research about this there.
Speaker 2 (52:13):
So this is answering the question why is this religion?
For some people? There is a I mean, there's some
heavy stuff going on.
Speaker 3 (52:20):
I'm sorry, but there has to be another way to
do this.
Speaker 1 (52:23):
You want to hear a little bit from the deposition
of doctor Stanley Plotkin. I found this video listen tin
egg protein.
Speaker 6 (52:32):
Oh, yes, influenza.
Speaker 11 (52:33):
Do any vaccines contain gelatin from pigs?
Speaker 6 (52:37):
Yes?
Speaker 11 (52:38):
Do any vaccines in the childhood vaccines gold contain human album?
Speaker 1 (52:42):
And?
Speaker 3 (52:43):
Oh yes?
Speaker 11 (52:45):
What is human album in?
Speaker 6 (52:47):
Human album is part of humans Stirum's part of the
blood that is liquid.
Speaker 11 (52:52):
That could be problematic, right, Well, it could be.
Speaker 6 (52:55):
I mean if if the individual is not healthy.
Speaker 11 (53:00):
Or if maybe some of the human blood components bind
to some of the aluminum and develop antibodies self antimodies.
Speaker 6 (53:08):
Correct, if they develop antibodies against a certum component, that
would not be good.
Speaker 11 (53:14):
Do any vaccines in the childhood vaccine schedule contain MRC
five human diploid cells?
Speaker 6 (53:20):
Yes, Rebella virceella hepatitis A.
Speaker 11 (53:26):
What are MRC five cells?
Speaker 6 (53:28):
They are human fibroblast cell strain. They were created by
taking fetal tissue and from a particular fetus that was
aborted by maternal choice, and the cells, the so called
(53:50):
fibroblast cells, were cultivated.
Speaker 11 (53:53):
Do any vaccines on the childhood vaccine schedule contained w
I thirty eight human diploid lung fibroblasts?
Speaker 6 (54:00):
Well, they used to, but I don't think anything is
made in those cells anymore.
Speaker 11 (54:05):
If you could turn to page three for MMR and MMRV.
Do you see that within the ingredient list that lists
w I thirty eight human deploy lung fiberblasts.
Speaker 6 (54:18):
Yes, I do see that.
Speaker 11 (54:20):
Isn't it true that human DNA in vaccines is typically
purposely fragmented?
Speaker 6 (54:25):
Yes, I would say mostly for theoretical reasons. Doesn't want
to put DNA into attact DNA into vaccines.
Speaker 11 (54:38):
These fetiuses worth all three months or older when aboard
it correct? Yes, what organs did you harvest from these features?
Speaker 3 (54:49):
You see?
Speaker 1 (54:50):
Folks, you cannot tell me that there won't be a
spiritual wreckoning for this under I am not anti vaccine
at all, like I understand that vaccines, especially childhood vaccines
like polio vaccine, extremely important, but I also am willing
(55:15):
to be open to thinking about another way. And it
makes me wonder. Actually, I don't wonder why they do it,
because the left is so disingenuous. The hacks or ally
hacks in the media are so disingenuous. But they're attacking
RFK Junior for simply asking questions about vaccines, for simply
(55:39):
saying is this the best way should we be giving
all of these vaccines to small babies? I mean, and
now you come to find out this is what's in
some of these vaccines, it's just hard to You don't need.
Speaker 3 (55:55):
To be a doctor or.
Speaker 1 (55:58):
To have a degree in fis to know that what
you just heard is probably is wrong, it's not not good.
Speaker 3 (56:09):
So I just had to I just had to to
show you that. I had to. I had to.
Speaker 1 (56:17):
Make you aware of that because you know, Look, I
think that the making make America Healthy Again agenda is important.
I think that's definitely one of the reasons why President Trump,
especially why he won, especially in the way that he did,
because I do believe that we're winning that spiritual fight.
I do believe that that good will triumph here, and
(56:41):
I do believe that we represent good. But I think
to make make America Healthy Again agenda has got to
look at some of this stuff because it just isn't right.
Just isn't right. Okay, before we pop smokes, make sure
you smash that like button, that little green thumb at
the video. Don't leave this show without smashing that like button. Also,
(57:04):
do not forget to tune in if you can to
me hosting Klay and Buck the Klay and Buck Show tomorrow.
