Well, Kevin McCarthy secured the speakership after a really long, and truly amazing situation that unfolded in the House. It took him 15 rounds to get the gavel. I love that we stood up for ourselves and got what we wanted. Honestly, this was the best outcome. I know many of you out there are “NeverMcCarthy” and while I understand that, he’s a backstabbing swamp creature, we did not have the numbers to put any of “our guys” in the speaker seat. And apparently, Jim Jordan, who was really our only viable hope, was not going to budge and accept any nomination whatsoever.
And Rep Massie, one of the most “America First” politicians we’ve got, believes we scored a big victory…especially when it comes to the “Church Committee.” Massie told Tucker that McCarthy caved, and we got everything we wanted for the Church Committee..
So, what is the “Church Committee” anyway?
Well, if you read Wayne Dupree, you’ll know that we’ve been talking a lot about Frank Church. He was actually a Democrat, who was among the first politicians back in the 70s to call out the CIA and US intelligence for being “weaponized” against the American people.
Watch:
On August 17, 1975 Senator Frank Church appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press and issued a stark warning about a certain technology perfected by the intelligence community, which could be used by the US government against its own citizens to create “total tyranny” pic.twitter.com/ndfZ3QS3JT

The Intelligencer reported a couple days ago that in the proposed rules package for the new 118th Congress, the Republican Party wants to create a subcommittee to investigate law enforcement and surveillance agencies.
The pledge to form the new committee on the “Weaponization of the Federal Government” is one of the concessions the far-right Freedom Caucus is demanding of Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., in exchange for supporting his bid to become speaker of the House. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has cited it as a reason to support McCarthy.
Freedom Caucus members routinely rail against the FBI’s investigations of President Donald Trump and excessive domestic surveillance. The “Weaponization of the Federal Government” committee would give them power to investigate the purported abuses under the auspices of the Judiciary Committee. Freedom Caucus members said they want to model the new body after the Church Committee that ran investigations into intelligence abuses in the mid-1970s, leading to significant reforms.
Well, last night, after McCarthy was finally given the gavel, Massie appeared on Tucker, where he confirmed that they got everything they wanted on the Church Committee, and it’s indeed going to happen.
You can watch the video below:
This is in no way a “slam dunk” for us. We will have to work hard to hold Kevin McCarthy’s backstabbing, globalist feet to the fire and make sure he doesn’t double-cross us. It won’t be easy, but if we all stand together, I believe we can do this.
