STEVE DEACE (HOST): We're selling merch, and that's our solution against mercenaries who are running a color revolution out in public. We're tweeting civil war from our compounds, from our suburban homes against people that will have already won one by the time -- we never figured out that we're in the midst of a cold one as we speak. We're not doing anything legislatively or locally to stop people that are willing to do anything unlawfully. In fact, I mean, Trump is out there demanding that Republicans impeach Biden. I mean, I'm for impeaching Biden just on sheer principle, but understand that won't do anything to stop the lawfare.
There's only one thing congressional Republicans can meaningfully do, and it is the one thing that no one's asking for, including Trump. You have to defund the Department of Justice, even to the point of a government shutdown. And it just so happens here we've got about -- what is it, 38, 37 days or something, I think until the next C.R. comes up? The continuing resolutions to fund the government. Right? It just so happens that it's perfect timing to have this fight, that you don't even have to contrive it because we're up against a budget battle -- a budget battle anyway, so the timing's perfect.
This is the leverage. We're not funding any more of this until you guys make it go away. No one's -- I mean, I've heard Daniel Horowitz and I talk about this, I've literally heard no one else in America with a platform talk about it. I've heard no elected Republicans talking about it, or, I mean, leadership Republicans talking about it. I have heard -- not heard the former president talk about it. Nobody is.
