Senator Tuberville: Folks, it’s time to fight. This is a war like nothing, no matter what. I’m up here for it. I’ve been a football coach, and let me tell you. I have seen every day up here that we have been fighting, and we have to beat them back so far that it will take them forever to get back on their feet.
Steve Bannon: The big victory we had four years ago on November 5th, because a lot of people said they were drinking champagne, and it should have been… already in front of us.
Senator Tuberville: Well, first of all, the Democrats know what they are planning. They want to change the country to something else. So that’s the game plan. Schumer in the Senate, he has everything under his wing. They will listen to everything you say. They won’t back down an inch because they won’t get any campaign money if they get it.
Our leadership, we are just the opposite. We will make everyone happy. If you’ve been here long enough, you can do whatever you want. It’s wrong. We must have fighters. We need to have people who will fight on every committee who will not take a no from these Democrats. We are responsible. If we back it up, like this, Matt Gaetz and Pete Hegseth, all the people who were nominated. Hey, you shouldn’t have to think about it. Prove to me he’s a criminal. If you do, I won’t vote for him. But so far, he’s in.
Steve Bannon: An old analogy used in football is zone flooding. We do that. President Trump has done it to put the media and the Democrats back on track with all the disturbing announcements. People will take the system and restructure it. Second, in my theory, the case says, Hey, in early January, when the House and Senate come back, you’ve been sworn in for the new Congress, you have to be a group with this confirmation hearing before January 20. You should be ready to go. Then on the 20th, you get the third wave of zone flooding with executive orders and everything the President is going to do. Do you – Do you encourage to get confirmation at least big things on this front line start after you take the oath?
Tommy Tuberville: Oh, yes, it will be over. We have planned it. …Yes it was planned.
Steve Bannon: So you want to move fast?
Tommy Tuberville: We have to. Now, we got married on the third of January, but I think a few days after that. But we should have a SecDef, an Attorney General, a Secretary-Treasurer. I don’t think Tom Holman, he shouldn’t pass because he’s the Tsar. He was one of the Tsars…
Steve Bannon: But what about AG? You put AG in the first place?
Tommy Tuberville: Number one.
Steve Bannon: You say now, this is news. You plan this on the fifth or sixth time, some time ahead, to get all of President Trump’s majors there.
Tommy Tuberville: Now, Democrats are doing this last. When I came here, they were playing. They have a SecDef and an Attorney General. And, of course, we have a lot of Republicans who vote for a lot of those people. Do you know what I mean? Democrats vote-
Steve Bannon: Well, 19 voted for Merrick Garland, Republican. yes.
Tommy Tuberville: None of the Democrats voted for any of the nominees. Not one. It is zero. I gave a speech on the floor yesterday. I had a big zero there. They all entered. He joins his game. He knows what he wants to do. When you know, you know how to win. How can you win if you don’t know what you’re fighting? We are fighting for our country, and we wake up and smell the roses, because if we don’t, we will lose this country. It will be lost, and we will not have a second chance for Donald Trump. It won’t happen.
