MAJOR VICTORY, Nancy Pelosi Is No Longer The Speaker Of The House, Plus We Talk GOP Investigation Into Joe Biden Business Deals!

moving forward? That is going to be on today's podcast now, Senator, I want to get to this big exciting moment and we should enjoy it because you fought hard for this. The bus tour was it was part of this mission to make sure we could get the House out of the hands of the leadership of Nancy Pelosi. It is official. The Republicans control the House. Nancy Pelosi retiring from leadership today, that was obviously a massive story. So I just want to say one very simple thing. Nancy Pelosi is gone.

Nancy Pelosi is gone. Nancy Pelosi, she is gone. Hot diggity damn. Nancy Pelosi is gone. And it amazing. I mean, it really is, like when this happened today, I was sitting there hosting out Numbered, and no one knew if she was going to resign from leadership or not. We were sitting there on set, and I was sitting there with Kenny mcinenny, and we were like, all right, what's

the over under? And apparently senter. She went home last night with two different speeches, one if she was going to stand leadership and one if she wasn't, and there was zero leaks, no one knew what she was gonna say, and she finally said it, I am no longer going to be in leadership, and the entire set just was a gas. Look, that's incredible. I had not heard that.

I will tell you, as you know, when we did the month long seventeen state national bus tour, the closing of my speech at every single rally, and you were at a bunch of them, Ben was, I said, I and whoever I was campaigning with, whatever House member or Senate member I was Senate Canada was campaigning with, I said, you know, I and JD am going to be walking down the hallway in the Capitol and we're going to bump into a little man wearing overalls carrying a screwdriver

coming to change the sign on Nancy Pelosi's door, and inevitably the crowd would go wild at that point, and then I would say, and Nancy is gonna get on her broom. People would laugh, and I'd say, Okay, that's not fair, that's not right. Nancy is going to get on her private jet the USS broom, and she's gonna fly back to San Francisco. And for her sake, I really hope that her husband doesn't pick her up at the airport. When I said that, the crow wing crazy.

In one state, two state, three state, four state, five states, seventeen states, the crowd went crazy. And listen, we're all bummed that last week's election wasn't much much better. It should have been phenomenal. We should have had a big majority in the Senate. We should have had a massive

majority in the House. We don't. But let's take a moment to celebrate and say we did something that really mattered, which is we want a majority in the House of Representatives, and Nancy Pelosi is out of a job, and America is better off, Our liberty is safer, our lives are more secure because the most radical demogogic socialist left wing speaker of the House in the history of America is now out of a job. Let's talk about how meaningful

this would have been over the last two years. For example, to put in compare and contrast center, if the republic Wikins would have had the House, yes people are bombed. We don't have the Senate where yes, people are upset that he's still the President of the United States of America. But having the ability to say no in the House is so significant to stopping so much damage had been done just over the last two years, for example, if we would have had one of those chambers. So what

does it mean? What does having the House mean? It means number one will have real oversight. We'll have meaningful oversight. We'll have House committees issuing subpoenas, engaging an oversight of the abuses, the ridiculous policies from this administration. That's a big deal. Number two. It will mean we will not have the disastrous legislation of the last two years. If Democrats have a massive tax increase, it ain't gonna pass

a Republican House. If Democrats want to make the District of Columbia a state and add two new Democrats senators, it ain't gonna pass a Republican House. If Democrats want to pack the US Supreme Court and add four are left wing justices to take the Supreme Court from nine justices to thirteen, it ain't gonna pass a Republican House.

That's a big deal, and I'm happy for that. One other thing that I think people look at when they see the fact that Nancy Pelosi is out is it also comes back to accountability now, and I want to spend time on this a little bit later, but before we get to that, I want to tell everybody about our amazing sponsor, Patriot Mobile. If you've got a cell phone, and nine nine percent of Americans do, how would you like to know that with every phone call you make,

you're supporting conservative causes. Well that's what Patriot Mobile does. And they use the same cell towers that you're on right now, meaning you get the same exact coverage that you're getting right now. Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative mobile phone provider. They are a force for conservative values.

Why because they take a portion of every bill that you pay and they find conservative causes, candidates and organizations that believe in the sanctity of life, freedom of speech, and the Second Amendment, and they're winning. If you're ready to have your dollars matter when you're paying a bill, switch to Patriot Mobile. They can save you money over

what you're paying right now. They can save you and your family money, and they even can save your business or small business money because they have an entire section of the business that's just dedicated to businesses. They offer the same nation wide coverage as all the other major carriers, but the difference is you actually get to stand up for what you believe in every time you pay that bill.

The accountability, the Republicans seem to have their act together on the House to really look into some of the corruption not only within our government but

the FBI and also with the Biden family. And that is one of I think the payoffs to campaigning on the issues that so many conservative Republicans ran on, and they looks like they're going to pay off on it right away. Well, we need to do that. I was encouraged to see Jim Jordan and James Comber come out and say they're going to investigate, for example, the corruption

with Hunter Biden. Now, as everyone who is a regular listener of this podcast knows, we've been talking for a long time that the issue with Hunter Biden is not his personal challenges. He is a troubled soul. It is clear he's had a anguished life where he struggled with substance abuse his entire life. If that were it, if he was some sad sap with substance abuty issues, it would not be an issue of public concern. What matters about Hunter Biden is the official corruption of Joe Biden.

Joe Biden is the target of these investigations. Whether it's Barisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company that paid Hunter Biden a million dollars a year and all of the evidence suggests that was essentially Paola to get protection from Joe Biden, or whether it's communist China paying Hunter Biden millions of dollars a year with ten percent for the big guy. Again to Joe Biden. What the House is focused on?

I was very pleased. They had a press conference Tuesday morning where they said, we're focusing not on Hunter, but on Joe Biden's corruption. On how much Joe Biden has been for sale, being sold to the enemies of America, being sold to foreign governments, being sold at aged in corruption, literally millions of dollars into the Biden family bank accounts.

That's important, and I got to say I was really encouraged the press conference yesterday morning that Jim Jordan and James comber Hill was exactly on the themes that you and I have been talking about on this podcast for months, which is the focus is Joe Biden, not Hunter Biden, and Hunter is just the conduit for the corruption that goes straight to the President of the United States. It's not only that, but there seems to be a real

comfort level now, Senator with whistle blowers. Jim Jordan mentioned this, and I want to play this because it seems that people now feel safe to come out the woodworks and risk their careers by whistle blowing on the corruption the deep state at the FBI. And here's how Jim Jordan's described it. At that press conference. You mentioned a moment

ago it reports. Two weeks ago Uiciary Committee a report that talked about the political influence and the political shenanigans going on in our Justice Department, based on fourteen FBI agents who come talk to our office as whistle blowers. One of those agents said, and this is the term he used. He said, at the highest levels of the FBI, specifically the Washington Field office. He said, it's rotted to

the core. Not talking about rank and file agents they're doing good, good work, talking about the top people at the Washington Field up. I mean, he says, rotten to the core, and the whistle blowers in Washington, DC are coming to him with this, and I think that's where once it takes one or two brave people to come forward center as whistle blowers. And now it looks like the floodgates have just opened now that the Republicans have the majority in the House, and that may be the

biggest blessing out of all of this. Well, I think that's exactly right. Jim Jordan is a close friend of mine. He and I have been in the foxholes battling against the forces of darkness over and over and over again. I gotta tell you, just like Jim Jordan. I've had multiple FBI agents and multiple DOJ prosecutors come to me, come to my office as whistleblowers and say the politicization,

the corruption at DOJ and the FBI is enormous. As you know, the book I just wrote the last couple of weeks, Justice Corrupted, How the Left is weaponized the legal system, is entirely about how the Democrats have turned the DOJ and the FBI into political weapons to attack their enemies. This is a real and important problem and one of the great benefits that we have a majority in the House. We're now going to have chairman willing

to investigate this corruption. And when you twist and pervert the Department of Justice and the FBI, it is an incredible danger to the rule of law and to our individual liberty. Now, Ben, I'll tell you some people on the right say abolish the FBI. I understand that sentiment.

They're so corrupt, I get it. I'm not in the camp of abolished the FBI, y because they do a lot of work that is really important, fighting terrorists, fighting bank robbers, fighting child predators who kidnap and sexually assault kids. All of that law enforcement work God bless the FBI. Go catch the bad guys, Go catch criminals, Go catch

terrorists trying to murder American citizens. But what Obama and now Biden have really endeavored to do, and sadly with real success, is direct them away from never mind the next al Qaeda nine to eleven terrorists who want to fly a plane into a building. Don't focus on that. Go focus on moms and dads speaking at school boards. Go focus on soldiers in Israel and the IDF. Asdj is recently announced, the FBI is going to be trying to target our friend and ally, the nation of Israel.

Go target pro life activists who dare to speak up in favor of life and that politicization. It's what my book Justice Corrupt is all about. It is incredibly wrong, and I believe we need to use whatever levers of power we have to stop it. You know, one of the things that representive comer said on the Hunter Biden pro he said, and I said this again today, you and I have talked about this. This is no longer about Hunter Biden. This is about the president. Yes, And

he said, today the Bidens became millionaires. And I want to play this clip by simply offering access to the family and the United States government. President let fall forty

Victory Committee. Republicans have identified over fifty countries the Biden families sought businesses in on the international side of the Biden family business, The deals were often led by Hunter Biden, and that map there behind clay shows all the countries where the Bidens had a footprint in international business dealings.

The investigation reveals a family that engaged with some of America's powerful adversaries, planning to sell one of the largest sources of cobalt for electric vehicles in the world to the Chinese, for example. The Bidens flourished and became millionaires by simply offering access to the family. Among the dozens of shell companies the Biden set up, there were millions of dollars of wire transfers, flights on an air Force two to conduct personal business, and meetings with heads of state.

While Joe Biden was aware of what was happening, all the while, he turned a blind eye. Many transactions related to these businesses have raised red flags at US banks. A Suspicious Activity Report, or SSAR is a document a bank must file with the Treasury Department when a transaction is suspected to be related to money laundering or fraud

or other types of criminal activity. According to media reports, the Biden family accumulated over one hundred and fifty tsars one ssar generated by an American bank to the Treasury Department connects Hunter Biden, and this business associates international human trafficking, among other illegal activities. The money that was being made from foreign principles in the same room as Joe Biden

was increasingly spent on furthering illegal activity. The Star show that Hunter Biden was conducting business with suspected human traffickers. I mean, Senator, this is not just and this was breaking news. More than fifty countries involved in human trafficking, involved with the worst people in the world in China and trying to sell American resources. I mean, when you think about fifty countries, this was very clearly a mafia style enterprise where the kingpen, the big guy is Joe Biden,

who's now our president. Then he was the vice president when much of this was going on as well. But apparently none of this has stopped and all these suspicious activity reports of Democrats have been blocking us and be able to get those. Will we be able to see those? Now? Three Republicans have control of the House. Look, I hope so, and I have confidence in the House Chairman that are leading these investigations. I've got to say, you think about it.

In over two centuries of our American history, we've had forty six presidents. We've had vice presidents under every one of them. We have never had a vice president, not once in over two hundred years, whose family made millions of dollars selling access to the vice president. That is

the very essence of corruption. And by the way, not selling access to the vice president to Americans, to lobbyists that we've had before, we've had sort of the domestic access corruption, selling access to foreign adversaries, selling access to the communist Chinese government, selling access to Barisma, the corrupt

Ukrainian natural gas company. The degree to which it was brazenly you know, it feels like an episode of The Sopranos were literally they'd show up with Hunter Buden with a paper bag full of cash and say it is ten percent for the big guy. Like that should not be reality, That should be bad fiction on HBO, But it is reality. The Democrat majorities in Congress desperately want to cover it up. And I do think one of the real consequences of House majorities is that we're going

to see serious oversight, testimony, hearing subpoenas. We're going to get the facts. I think that's important. I want to move to the Senate side, and there's been this fight for leadership in the Senate. We've talked about this, Mitch McConnell's seven percent approval writing among Republican voters right now he walked out, made it clear, he said, I have the votes. I have the votes. I have the votes, whether it's decided today, tomorrow, the next day, I have

the votes. In other words, I dare you to challenge me, or to come after me, or to try to find someone else to do this job. You better just get back in your positions. I am the leader, even in the minority. I have the votes. Where are we now with all of this, Well, dare accepted. So the last podcast we did Wednesday morning, I was walking into the leadership elections, and when that occurred, the very first thing

that happened literally we sat down. So I want to paint the picture the leadership elections for the Republican conference are held in the old, the historic Senate Chamber, So it's not the Senate floor today, it's the old Senate chamber. It's the Senate chamber where in the Civil War one senator beat another senator almost to death with a cane. It's small, it's intimate, you're on top of each other.

So we're in there. The very first thing it's done, it's called to order, and the first thing that happened is I stood up and I made a motion. I said, I move that we delay this vote until after the Georgia runoff. What proceeded was a couple of hours of debate where many senators stood up and argued on both sides. My argument was simple, Number one, we don't know who's going to be in the Republican conference in this next Senate and herschel Walker deserves us say and who the

next Republican leader is. But number two, more fundamentally, we need a debate, in a discussion about how we're going to lead our Republicans going to fight. What are we going to fight on? Is there any issue on which we're willing to fight? We had a vigorous debate. Now I'll tell you I've been in the Senate ten years. In the ten years i've been there, Mitch McConnell's never been challenged. We've never had to vote on leadership. There's never been even a discussion or debate about what the

agenda will be. At the end of a couple of hours debate, we took a vote and I got sixteen votes. Now they're forty nine Republicans, so my motion failed, but twenty five was success. So I got sixteen. We were nine short of the twenty five it would have taken to delay the election. Ben That is a big damn deal. That's never happened before. It was the first serious leadership challenge in the sixteen years that Mitch McConnell has been

the Republican leader. That's a big deal. I think it's justified because we had an election where we should have had a massive victory and we didn't. And you know, as we talked about in prior podcasts, if you have a football team that's the number one in the nation and it loses big game after big game after big game,

you fire the coach. We didn't have the votes to fire the coach, but we came very very close, and I hope it will lead to Republicans in the Senate now being willing to fight in a way that they haven't been the last two years. What have themality? I mean, you come back to DC right after election day. Everybody knows where we are with the House, everybody your colleagues know where we are now with the Senate. I mean,

are you're obviously angry and pissed off. That makes sense, and it makes sense with you because you care about this country. You wanted the Republicans to win, You want to majority. You worked hard to try to get it. We came up short. But are other Senators angry or is it just business as usually? Like, Oh, it is what it is. We're in the minority for another two years and we'll see what happens then. So it varies. Look,

I think everyone's frustrated. I mean, you'd have to be dead, you'd have to be blind and oblivious not to be frustrated. He's leadership frustrated. Maybe that's a better way of saying it. Not really, leadership is engaged in the blame game. They are trying desperately to blame the results of the election on Donald J. Trump, and so that's their messages Trump did it, Trump did it? Trump did it? And listen, this was enough of a cluster that there is blame

to go around everyone. I'm not saying anyone is immune from blame, but leadership is trying so hard to paint the blame on Trump that they're pretending that their actions. The case I made to my colleagues, I stood up and said, listen, for the last two years, over and over again, we have passed Democrat priorities with all of the Democrats, every single Democrat, all fifty Democrats and ten to fifteen Republicans. We do that over and over and

over again. And I said, listen, the Democrats never do this when we had a Republican majority in the Senate. There were no cases, zero where you had all fifty Republicans and ten or fifteen ds. They don't do it because from their perspective, their only focus is defeat the Republicans' agenda. To hell with you. On our side, our guys are chumps. They're like, oh, okay, the Democrats want to do something here,

let us help. And so the question that I asked, and in that historic Senate chamber, I asked Mitch McConnell tell the conference, is there any issue, even one on which you are willing to fight? Maybe we should fight. We're going to be taking up very shortly the National Defense Authorization Act. That's a great avenue to fight. The Biden to administration is trying to fire thousands of soldiers and sailors and airmen and marines. I think that is assinine.

It's idiotic, it's indefensible. Those servicemen and women decline to take the COVID vaccine, and the Biden administration is saying, we don't care that you've defended our nation, that you've dedicated your life to keep you our country safe. If you don't knuckle under or take this vaccine, you're fire. I think that's grotesque. So I stood up and argue to my colleagues, stand and fight, grow a pair, like, actually fight for real. And the only way you can

fight is to deny cloture on the NDAA. What is the NBA? The National Defense Authorization Act. It will not pass unless sixty Senators vote for it. You'll get all fifty Democrats, so are there If ten Republicans vote for it, it's passed, and guess what, those fighting men and women are fired I said, all right, if you don't want to fight on that, how about fight on the eighty seven thousand new IRS agents. That's what I was gonna

literally ask you, is is that question? Because there's a lot of speculation now that if Republicans are smart on this coming out of the House into the Senate, that this could be the opportunity where the president actually asked to veto use a veto to get rid of something, which would be a very interesting moment, especially going into the presidential election. How to Republicans play this to get rid of these agents? But look, you know the white

is going to stand out. So the question I asked leadership is are we willing to fight in a way that uses actual leverage? So what leadership is fond of is let's schedule a vote on the floor. Everyone votes, and then we lose, and we can go home and tell our constituents, look, we voted against it. It's not our fault. But oh way, the country, Oh well, the country is screwed. If you want to stop it, you actually have to use the levers of power you have.

If you want to stop the forced vaccination of servicemen and women, you block the NDAA because Democrats want to pass that, So that's using leverage. Next year, there are two and only two major lever points. One is the government funding bills, either the Continuing Resolution or the omnibus funding bill. The other is the debt ceiling. If both of those, the Democrats desperately want to pass. So historically, if you exert leverage on those, the minority has been

able to get concessions over and over and over again. Now, let's say you stand up on the government funding bill and say we're not going to fund the government if the funding includes eighty seven thousand new IRS agents, which is what I think we should do. Here's what Joe Biden is going to say. He's gonna bellow, the Republicans are shutting down the government. All of the Democrats in Congress are gonna bellow the Republicans are shutting down the government.

The corporate media, which is utterly corrupt in a Democrat mouthpiece, is gonna bellow the Republicans are shutting down the government. And what I asked our leadership is, are you the friggan Republican leadership going to echo the message of the Democrats and the media that the Republicans are shutting down the government. If you do, we will lose. The short answer, Ben Mitch McConnell didn't answer those questions, but I will say we got sixteen votes to delay the election, and

then Rick Scott ran against Mitch McConnell. I voted for Rick Scott. I'm tired of Mitch McConnell's leadership. I don't think he's done it right. We had eleven Senators who did not vote for Mitch McConnell. That is a big damn deal. Mitch McConnell's been the leader for sixteen years. In sixteen years, he has had zero senators vote against him. This year, eleven senators didn't support him. That's a step

forward what your usual suspects either. I mean, it was a pretty wide ranging group of eleven, and I want you to mention just some of those names. People need to understand. This wasn't just kind of a core group that is you know, you know that you're you're good friends with. I mean, this was a cross the spectrum where you got these eleven from. So we don't know exactly who voted. The vote was thirty seven Republicans voted

for Mitch. Ten Republicans voted for Rick Scott. I was one of the ten, and one Republican voted president, which is really weird. I don't know who that was. So ten voted for another leader and one didn't vote for Mitch. So it's a total of eleven. About half of the people have self identified. And that's what I wanted to get to is I mean, there were somebody that were open saying, hey, I'm just gonna be honest about this. I think he should he should not be in leadership.

And by the way, if we had a functioning press corps, they ought to ask every damn Republican, how did you vote? Like this should be public. A lot of my colleagues the reason they voted for Mitch is he's the single largest owner to almost every Republican in the conference. He stood up there and said to senator after center, he pointed at them and said, you, I gave you thirty million dollars. You, I gave you forty million dollars. You I gave you fifty million dollars. By the way, for me,

he gave me zero dollars. For Mike Lee, he gave him zero dollars. For Ron Joson in Wisconsin, six years ago he gave him zero dollars. Now, I will say, to Mitch's credit, this cycle, Ron had a vigorous reelection campaign and Mitch put thirty forty million dollars into it. So I'm glad of it this time. But historically in the Conference there have been three Republicans willing to stand up and fight against Mitch McConnell, Me, Mike Lee, and Ron Johnson. Now in more recent months, Rick Scott has

joined that group. But the maddening thing is almost nobody else does. And a huge factor in why that's the case is because Mitch McConnell every cycle spends between three and four hundred million dollars in his superpack, supporting virtually every Republican. So the fact that we got a third of the Conference to vote with me to delay the leadership election is shocking. It's stunning, and I hope that

it begins to change leadership's willingness to fight. I don't know if that will be the case, but I think

this week was a big, big deal. It was a big week because I think it also made it clear that there's a lot of Conservatives out there voters that are paying attention and expecting more of their elected efficiencies, and they're paying attention to what you're going to do with the majority in the House and what you're going to do to stop the Democrats in the Senate or at least fight them, as you mentioned at the very beginning. And this brings us up to this big gay marriage vote.

You know, there was no time wasted by Democrats coming back and making sure that they could get as much stuff done as they possibly could get done as quickly as they can before they lose this power, and this is a very important vote. What happened with that, well, a lot of what we discussed in the leadership election is that for two years we pass bill after bill

with all the Democrats and ten to fifteen Republicans. And the case I made, I said, how come the Democrats manage over and over again to unite all of the Democrats and to divide our party in a way that screws us? But that's not the case. Or Burgher Fell was the Supreme Court decision where the court struck down the marriage laws all across this country and mandated gay

marriage all across the country. Now, the predicate for the Democrats taking this bill up is the Dabbs decision, which overturned Roversus Wade and returned decisions about abortion to the state legislatures so the voters could decide Inburgh Fell. Justice Thomas wrote a concurrence where he suggested that the Court might want to reconsider all of its substantive due process decisions, including Aburgh Fell. The left lost their mind and they

freaked out. Now, importantly, it's worth understanding the majority of opinion and Dobbs the case overturning Row said not once, not twice, but three times, we are not going to revisit Oberghafell. We're not going to revisit the question of gay marriage. The third time. Justice Alito, writing for the majority,

said I don't know how to say this more clearly. No, no, no. So the whole predicate for this bill is Democrats scaremongering saying, oh, the Supreme Court's going to strike down the game marriage ruling. It's not, and it's told us it's not. But this bill is Congress embracing gay marriage. Now, folks listening to this might agree with that, might disagree with that. There's a lot of disagreement across the country, and gay marriage is one of the issues on which public opinion has

been changing dramatically. But the consequences of this bill are much more than Congress acknowledging and passing into law gay marriage, because I believe this bill, if it becomes law, will set the stage for the Biden Irs to target churches, to target religious universities, to target religious schools K through twelve, to target religious social services like Catholic charities that do

adoption services, to target schools like Bring Them Young. Anyone that believes in a biblical definition of marriage, anyone that believes that marriage of the union of one man and one woman, whether they're Christian, whether they're Jewish, whether they're Muslim, whatever faith they are. Any any organization that does not accept gay marriage, I think faces an enormous risk of the Biden DOJ and the Biden Irs targeting them, suing them, and revoking their five oh one C three tax exempt status.

And that is the real risk of this bill. And I gotta tell you it is sad and unfortunate because we had a vote on it, and all of the Democrats voted yes, of course, but sadly twelve voted yes as well. Susan Collins of Baine Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah. Those four

are not terribly surprising. But here the next eight. Tom tell Us of North Carolina, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Cynthia Lummus of Wyoming, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Richard is retiring, Shelley Moore, capital of West Virginia, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Joanie Ernst of Iowa, and Todd Young of Indiana. Those are the twelve who voted yes. I gotta say I'm frustrated. Doesn't begin to describe it. I am beyond upset. So we had a lunch on Wednesday, right before the vote.

It's the steering lunch. Mike Lee as the chairman of Steering. I'm on the Steerman Steering Executive Committee. So that's the lunch where we discuss policy issues. We talked about this bill. Virtually every single Republican who voted yes skip the lunch, So of those twelve, I think three or four of them were there, so they didn't discuss. They didn't hear how the Biden I r RS is going to go after Christian grade schools and strip their five O one

C three status. Is going to go after Christian universities and strip their five O one C three status. This bill provides a private right of action, So you're going to get left wing radical litigant suing Christian or Jewish or Muslim chart to organizations or even churches. If your church doesn't accept gay marriage, get ready to be sued. And I got to tell you, I find it utterly

insane that twelve Republicans agreed with this. And by the way, Mike Lee has an amendment that would explicitly prohibit the irs of the government from discriminating against people because of their religious beliefs on marriage. And yet the Democrats who support this bill said, hell no, we won't take Mike Lee's amendment, And the Republicans who support this bill said, who's Mike Lee. I'm sorry, we don't know what you're talking about. Why do you think we lost on election day?

While rolling over to Democrats is a big part of it, And damn it, Ben, we need to stop it. It's amazing. How can people that are listening have an impact on this specifically? I mean, is it basically the damage is done? Or should you still be reaching out to you that your senator especially those that you mentioned. No, we're going to have another vote. We'll have another vote the Monday

after Thanksgiving. And it's a sixty vote threshold. So of those twelve Republicans who voted yes, if three of them says say, we're not going to support this unless Mike Lee's amendment protecting religious liberty is added, we can stop this travesty. And by the way, why are Democrats rhyming this through now because they know in January they'll be a Republican House and they can't get it done. So

this is the lame duck. This is their last gasp where they're saying to the electorate, screw you, we don't care that you voted a Republican majority. Now I get Ben, if you're Chuck Schumer, if you're Nancy Pelosi, screw you to Republican voters. I understand where that comes from, But why are Republican senators supporting that? That makes zero sense to me. Yeah, it really does it. It's asinine at least there's just, as you said, this vote after Thanksgiving,

so reach out. One last thing I want to ask you about, Senator, and that is this, Oh, by the way, we want to give out amnesty to every illegal immigrant in the country, and we need to do it. The new Democratic line is because we need workers and Americans aren't having enough kids, so therefore we should give out amnesty. I didn't think Democrats could be so transparent in a

moment when they're asking for amnesty, but they were. They basically said, we've been screwing you, undermining your family, undermining traditional households. It's work. We've been aboarding children left and right. It's worked. And now we're going to say because of a lack of population, this is their argument that therefore we now need to give out amnesty to every single illegal immigrant that's in this country. Your reaction to that

play by them, that was again right away. Clearly they're going to make this an issue for the presidential election. So a bunch of Democrats senators who were up for reelection this year, they ran millions of dollars of ads saying we are fighting to secure the border. Now. It was fundamentally dishonest because every single time they've had an

opportunity to vote, they voted against securing the border. But that's what they claimed to the voters, and some of them, like Mark Kelly in Arizona got re elected lying to the voters. What happens after election day? The Democrats immediately come back and they say, what do we want to do with the lame duck? Not secure the border? Apparently all of their ads had no bearing on reality. What do they want to do? They want to grant amnesty.

Joaquin Castro, who's a left wing Democrat congressman from Texas, he's leading the charge saying, let's grant amnesty to the so called dreamers, that's their priority. He represents a South Texas district that is feeling the pain of illegal immigration. But Joakin Castro doesn't give a damn about the children being physically assaulted, being sexually assaulted by human traffickers. He doesn't care about the women being raped by human traffickers.

He doesn't care about the dead bodies left on the farms and the ranches of Texas farmers and ranchers. He doesn't care about the hundred thousand Americans who died last year of fetanol overdoses from Chinese fetanol flooding across the border. He didn't care about any of that. What is his priority? Hey, Let's grant amnestate of the people here illegally today. That's today's Democrat Party, and I gotta say Joakin Castro represents them perfectly. They are radicals who do not care about you,

your safety, your family, liberty, your life. That's what this fight is all about, you know, I gotta say, Center. The other great part about this show today is the fact that we got to have and give some good news and in the show by reminding everybody Nancy Pelosi is no longer the Speaker of the House. That is what this midterm election was, Ben, Ben, could you repeat that again? Yeah, yeah, Nancy Pelosi is no longer the Speaker of the House. All Right, one more time. I

just I just need to hear those words. Nancy Pelosi has resigned from leadership, right, She's she's almost a commoner. Now. I love this. I don't know how much that's gonna affect her incenters. All right, let me ask you a question, Ben, Yeah, what's the over under on how long till Nancy Pelosi retires to Florida and as a constituent around descendis? Oh? I think it'll be well within let's go, I say seven months, all right, seven months? Seven okay, listeners, I

want you to hold Ben accountable seven months. So we're in November. Run forward seven months from now. Then I'm gonna trust you to bring this up on the show, and we're gonna ask is Nancy Pelosi a Florida voter? And I think she'll be bored out of her mind. I think she's gonna try to shepherd the Democrat young new leadership through and I think at some point you canna say, all right, screw it, I'm out of here. I don't think she finishes her Do you think she'll

finish your term? I don't absolutely not. Yeah, there, I see we're in a green up by the way, on the overunder. I'm taking the under really okay, I like this. I like this. All right, we got we got a little wager here. I like this. Dias mark that we're gonna have to save this audio. We'll play it back one day. One of us is gonna be right, one of us is gonna be wrong, and that's gonna be really fun. Center. It's always a pleasure. And by the way, Diaz, if I'm wrong, delete the audio. I love it. I

love it. And see now you know who show it really is. We'll see you guys back here on Monday morning.
