yesterday Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan announced that he was running for
Speaker of the House and earlier I sat down with the congressman they asked why
he's running and what agenda he's gonna push take a look
joining us now Ohio congressman Jim Jordan who was announced he is running
to be the next Speaker of the House how are you sir welcome for Aaron's studio
appearance we're 101 days now outside of the midterm elections I'm calling it the
most important midterm in our lifetime right everyone impeach the president if
they win we got to win which point well if the Democrats get in office they will
go after president Trump because they're there they went so far left with this
socialist progressive Democrat you know agenda they have so this is why it's so
critical and here's what's at stake think about the last year-and-a-half
regulations reduced taxes have been lowered unemployment its lowest in 20
years economy is just humming along Gorsuch is on the court Cavanaugh is on
deck the embassies back in Jerusalem we're out of the crazy Iran deal and the
hostages have come home from North Korea and I'm forgetting a few things by
anyone's definition that is amazing year and a half but what's amazing about that
list as well is a Congress only helped with a little bit of that the regulation
the taxes Congress is going to do a better job and that's why I want to be
the next Speaker of the House we got to focus on doing what we told the American
people we were going to do delivering on health care delivering on the border
security all those other it happen in the middle of the health care debate we
discovered that there are about a hundred House Republicans and certainly
seven Senate house sorry Senate Republicans that had voted to
repeal Obamacare in 2015 same bill same bill and then they changed when it
mattered six six Republican senators voted against the exact same legislation
they had supported before after telling the Americans after getting elected
intend after getting elected taking the Senate in 14 after winning the White
House and 16 on that issue and then not to deliver on that we haven't delivered
on health care reform repealing Obamacare haven't delivered on welfare
reform work requirements for able-bodied people haven't delivered on immigration
policy and border security wall and certainly haven't delivered on holding
and controlling spending that's what we got to do because that's what
told the American people we were going to do if they gave us the privilege to
serve okay put the President on his own as you pointed out has accomplished it
and why is there this reluctance among some Republicans is it the president is
not the conventional establishment figure he's iconoclastic he's bold he
tweets he says you know calls it our fake news what is it that some
Republicans don't like it's the town it's Washington the swamp is the swamp
they don't like someone like Donald Trump coming in there and changing the
swamp and changing the way that town works there's just this reluctance to
ever change even though the American people said in 2010 we're going to put
you in charge of Congress to go change things even though in 2014 they gave us
the Senate to say go change things and even though in 2016 they gave us the
White House to go change things there's still this reluctance and the president
feels that every stinking day because he is he is bound and determined to do what
he told the American people he was going to do what he ran on the mandate we got
from that election and the house needs to do the same we've done some good
things but not near enough the reform that we need to do like the president
simply doing and that's our Paul Ryan the house has been better than the
Senate you get your house a lot better let's go through this way so we have 14
states record low unemployment record low unemployment for African Americans
Hispanic Americans and women in the workplace and then take it from there
I mean we've had nothing but huge massive economic great economic news one
after the other you've mentioned the foreign policy successes and I'm
thinking there's a track record to run on of course
let's go campaign on it and let's also tell the American people you put us back
in power in the in the House of Representatives we will do what we said
we will help president Trump accomplish what you told us you wanted to
accomplish in 2016 what we all ran on now if you become the speaker and look I
will support you for speaker because I think the freedom caucus has been the
most committed to fighting to keep their promises and literally the the single
biggest group fighting to defend the things that are conservative in the
country and have helped the president the most yeah we talked about when we
formed our group three years ago we talked about the countless number of
Americans who feel like Washington has four
and left them behind we want to go fight for those people do the things we told
him we were going to do I say this all the time and I say it because I believe
it we make the job of being a member of Congress way too complicated it's pretty
simple what you tell the people you're gonna do when they gave you the chance
to go serve them their family their business what you tell them you're gonna
do go do that and be willing to stand up and have the debate all too often we
forfeit even before the debate even happens before the referee even blows
the whistle we just say we're gonna forfeit the match we're going to forfeit
the game let's have that let's play the game
let's wrestle the match let's make it happen
doing what we told him how will you be different that's simple here's a great
example the omnibus spending bill we were so poised to win that debate and
hold spending down on non-defense spending do what needs to be done for
our troops but hold it down on everything else because Chuck Schumer
had shut down the memory shut the government on Friday and over the
weekend the American people said you're crazy so on Monday he says Shazam I'm
going to open the government back up because he was losing in the political
in the public relations world so he opens the government back up a few weeks
later we had a chance on that big spending bill to treat our troops the
way they deserve to be treated for defending our country and hold the line
on everything else and what do we do what the swamp always does we said no we
won't even have the debate even though we got a guy in the White House who was
great at debating great had taken the message to the American people even
though we had all that we said let's just do what we always do let's spend
more money on everything and the deficit goes up the debt goes up and the band
plays on in the same old same old swamp residents literally squeezed for those
if he wants the money for defense because we literally have you say to him
a bad bill all right Jim Jordan we're going to watch this very closely do we
know when Ryan's leaving we do not yusei's gonna stay so and I take him at
his word all right thanks for being with us Matt thank you
we're on track to hit the highest annual average growth rate in over 13 years and
I will say this right down I'll say it strongly as the trade deals come in one
by one we're going to go a lot higher than these numbers and these are great
numbers once again we are the economic envy of the entire world when I meet the
leaders of countries the first thing they say invariably
is mr. president so nice to meet you congratulations on your economy since I
was elected we've added 400,000 new manufacturing jobs remember that was the
obsolete deal obsolete I used to say why is it obsolete we have
to make things manufacturing jobs are among our best jobs and we're just
getting started that was President Trump earlier today literally going over what
is now a remarkable economic story since he has now taken office these
unprecedented numbers certainly sure to help Republicans we are 101 days away
from what I am calling the most important midterm elections in our
lifetime now earlier this week Breitbart news they came out with a very thorough
report detailing seats that the GOP must maintain and hold to keep their majority
a lot at stake joining us now former Trump White House chief strategist Steve
Bannon back here's the thing Steve you and I have discussed this privately this
is now battlefield 2018 because they want to impeach the president
they want their crumbs back they want to get rid of ice open borders they want to
keep Obamacare and they want to cover up the corruption that we have been
exposing at the highest levels of government to steal an election a lot at
stake Shawn you said something that's the most important midterm I would just
like to rephrase that and I think this is president Trump's first reelect this
is going to be an up or down vote it's a referendum on the Trump presidency they
are very focused the opposition is going to be very focused on trying to win the
house representatives try to win Congress in order to impeach President
Trump and stop the entire project right whether it's the economic growth whether
it's the new reorientation of the world's commercial system through trade
deals whether it's his America first national security with its
southern border security you pick it they're gonna try to unwind it so this
is really I mean the Democrats got one thing they got to do over in this
November and it's a hundred days in a wake up a hundred days and a wake-up
we're gonna have essentially a national election and that's going to determine
the the second half of the first term of President Trump and I think 2020 so
people to ask about 2020 right now we are going to have a referendum it's
going to be I think very focused on president Trump's record and I would
tell everybody that we're the way to win this is exactly like we won in 2010 that
great tea party sweep you're going to have to go at door-to-door ring
doorbells and do voter registration drives and get people out I mean
president Trump has delivered on the action now it's time for the populist
movement the nationalist movement the Republicans limit government services
everybody conservative movement everybody that turned out in 2016 you
have to do it all over again or they're the first action they are
going to take under Nancy Pelosi or whoever the Democratic speaker is is try
to impeach President Trump you know I went through the numbers your old
hometown Breitbart I think it's a great piece great piece but it identifies only
100 seats are really up for grabs the others are state because of
gerrymandering etc but so they're not in play but you got 86 of those are
Republican seats and you're talking about the Republicans got to win 61 of
the 86 so that's a lot and historically and I asked the president about this
earlier today on my radio show historically seats are lost in the
midterm election for the for the party in the White House how do people save
these 61 seats Plus because I'd like to have a little comfort large in there
here's what you have to do we did look we picked up 62 or 63 net seats in 2010
and it's not about money it's about ideas and it's about it's about getting
out and turning out folks President Trump has deliver he said he was going
to take action he took action was a destruction of Isis
he took action was look at these economic numbers today did they're just
unbelievable look what he's doing on that and the trade deal is what he's
doing is reorienting the world supply chain away from China
is fully engaging and going back on China on the economic war they've had on
us President Trump has delivered on judges everything he said he was going
to do he's either done or in the process of doing and it's a combat upon
everybody that supported him at 2016 this is gonna be the old-fashioned way
okay this is not going to be about commercials it's not how much money you
raise this is gonna be very simple it's gonna be muscle the the opposition is is
very different than in 16 and 16 Hillary Clinton's arrogance their cockiness you
know they really missed what we were doing in the Upper Midwest okay to
really break that blue wall this time the the time's up movement and the
resistance are very focused and they're going door to door it is incumbent upon
everybody that supports President Trump to understand this is gonna have to be
the old-fashioned way you're gonna have to so to door you're
gonna have to have camp let's get voter registration knock on doors and get your
neighbors to come in this is all about turnout on November 6 so we're calling
this banning battlefield 2018 and tonight you're giving us like a generals
overview as we now get to the hundred day countdown in this but next week
we're going to specifically do is we're going to name every district and put it
up on the screen the audience can see here's the thing because there are some
people that rightly will look at their congressman and they'll say to me and
you Hannity panin my congressman's a rhino my senators a rhino you're asking
me to go support this guy I went out and supported Trump but the stakes are so
high what they want to do to the Trump agenda which is the answer at least
that's my answer I don't wanna put words in your no this cuts the heart of it
this is a national referendum whether it's a rhino whether it's an
establishment figure whether it's somebody either congressman or a senator
that you don't fully support that is not the question now the question is about
the Trump agenda the question is about President Trump in his agenda and you're
going to have to just put you know you're going to have to sometimes vote
for people that you're not totally comfortable with okay and this means
some establishment figures some rhinos it doesn't matter this is a national
referendum it's an up or down vote on the Trump presidency if we take enforce
everything to November 6 we're gonna win this there's not going to be a blue wave
and here's the benefit of not having a blue wave
when they don't get the blue wave that they've been selling their grassroots
people they're gonna have they're going to turn on themselves on a civil war in
the Democratic Party I got a he's gonna make 2018 2020 money
she's waving you just motivate there's a bigger and
it's already developing you just look at the job numbers put aside the success
North Korea and yes we now have remains from that war coming home this very day
and no more rockets being fired in a dismantled nuclear test site and then
the Iranian dearly promised to get out of Jerusalem's the capital and the
toughest sanctions we put on Russia but more importantly we now have record low
unemployment in this country in 14 states for women in the workforce
African Americans Hispanic Americans Asian Americans and the military that
have been out of work and millions now have been taken off the Food Stamp rolls
with more jobs available than people on unemployment this didn't happen as fast
when Reagan was president who you know I'm a Reagan conservative if you look at
the actions he's taken and you look at the results we already have including
the judges and the redoing of the federal judiciary it's been nothing
short of extraordinary Donald Trump is a historic president
Donald Trump's a transformational president if you want to keep that
transformation going that's why this November is not a midterm election this
midterm is the first reelect of Donald J Trump and everybody's going to put their
shoulder to the wheel it's exactly Shawn as you remember what we did in August of
2016 we brought the Republican establishment together the Trump
movement together grassroots conservatives together we put our heads
down and against tremendous opposition in of the media the opposition party
media and all the money the Clintons raised it didn't make a difference we
won and we won big in a historic landslide that can happen again and it
will happen again if people start to focus on what November 6 is which is a
national referendum on the presidency of Donald Trump all right let me tell
everybody so we're gonna bring you on as often as you can I know you travel a lot
pretty much once a week from now to election eight and so everybody knows
Steve does not like doing TV but you think this is so important that you want
to identify we'll do this next week we will identify every single district
that's gonna matter where the real well battle right
the battle for ban and battle fight 2018 will show people Shawn you've been so
gracious to talk to me about this is that I think people need to focus on
where this battle is going to take place and it's going to be you know people are
going to have to put their shoulder to the wheel you know it's game on and you
know we have to leave everything on the field in no tears I'm tired of hearing
the whining particularly our side of the football about you know this candidate
that candidate we got to stop the whining we have to get focus and what's
needed for victory you have a hundred days and a wake-up to do it
all right Bannon battlefield 2018 next week we identify the defining races in
this upcoming midterm Steve thanks for being well thanks for having me Sean
