STEPHEN BANNON (HOST): Note to Jim Jordan. That's not, you know, that's not a good quote. You have to say. bringing the conference together, we don't give a damn about bringing the conference together. We give a damn about saving this republic. That's what we care about, and that should be the top of your mind. I don't care about bringing the conference together.

With half of those weasels and snakes and pencil necks up there and gutless cowards, we're not, what you're trying to do, what they're trying to do, brother Jordan, in making you the speaker designee and wait until January, is to audition you.

It's like a mail-order bride back in, I don't know, back in the 1870s or something, out West.

And they're gonna put McHenry as the front man, the professorial bow-tied front man, put a shorter version of George Will, going to put him there in his sartorial splendor.

So professorial, such a genius, he gave you the debt deal. He was the lead negotiator.
