What are the key issues surrounding the funding bill in the House?

Steve Bannon 0:00

Yeah, I love these guys. I mean, they're all introducing legislation to repeal provisions in a bill that they're going to vote yes on. I mean, figure that out. Mr. Speaker, the previous question is the House Democrats' last attempt to make a change to this rule before it gets voted on. And I want to use this opportunity to talk about a last-minute provision that was slipped into the CR in the Senate. It's an outrageous giveaway to pad the pockets of eight Republican senators. And it's one of the most corrupt things I've seen in my life. So if the House defeats the previous question, I will offer an amendment to the rule to consider as adopted an amendment to the continuing resolution offered by Representative Subramanian to...

What last-minute provisions were included in the continuing resolution?

Steve Bannon 0:44

which would strike the corrupt giveaway out of the text of this bill so it does not make it into law. Mr. Speaker, this is a massive payday for Republicans. It would allow eight of their senators to shovel millions, millions of dollars into their own wallets. I'm talking cash money, not for their states, not for their constituents, no, no, for their own personal bank accounts. Why should a United States senator or any party get a special right that nobody else has? No state legislator, no governor, no judge, no citizen in the entire country has this right. But we are creating it for a handful of Republican senators. It is immoral.

How are Republican senators allegedly benefiting from the bill?

Steve Bannon 1:24

I'd say it's unconstitutional. It is wrong. And it's probably the most brazen theft and plunder of public resources ever proposed in the United States Congress. And it was tucked into this legislation. And I want to speak directly to Republicans who say they can't vote with us because it will delay the reopening of the government. First off, that's exactly what these corrupt senators were hoping you'd say. Second, we absolutely can send this back to the Senate. They can quickly strip it and send the bill to the president. They finished this package in less than two days. This is one small thing that needs to be deleted. It's easy, and it can be done very fast. And please spare me the excuses that we will get this done next week with a new bill.

Steve Bannon 2:11

Once this is law — once this is law, that's it. It is signed into law forever.

What arguments are made against the proposed amendments?

Steve Bannon 2:16

It will never change. It is permanent. And you voted for it. And Republicans all know — you all know that. So don't say you're going to pass some new bill next week to address this. That's just an excuse to do nothing that will fix it. Republicans moved at the speed of light to give tax breaks to billionaires. And the least they can do is give the same urgency to stop this shamelessly corrupt fleecing of the American people. Now, I get it. Trump is suing the U.S. government for $230 million. And I guess these senators want in on the action. They want their own payday. But I've never seen this level of grift, shameless corruption, and theft of public money in my entire life, ever. So, Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to insert the text of my amendment into the record along with extraneous material immediately prior to the vote on the previous question.

Steve Bannon 3:10

And to discuss our proposal, I yield a minute to the gentleman from Virginia, Mr. Subramanian.

Jamie Raskin 3:15

Without objection on the UC request, the chair will remind the gentleman from Massachusetts.

Steve Bannon 3:24

This is the primal scream of a dying regime. Pray for our enemies, because we're going medieval on these people. I got a free shot on all these networks lying about the people. The people have had a belly full of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's going to happen.

Beau French 3:46

And where do people like that go to share the big line? Mega media. I wish in my soul, I wish that any of these people had a conscience.

Steve Bannon 3:56

Ask yourself, what is my task and what is my purpose? If that answer is to save my country, this country will be saved. War Room. Here's your host, Stephen K. Bann. Okay, Wednesday, 12 November, Year of Our Lord 2025. Everybody's back in the House, or whoever's going to show up has showed up, and guess what, folks?
