Anna Paulina Luna Reveals Why GOP Senate Refuses to Pass Save America Act

[00:01] Anna, welcome.

[00:02] >> Thanks for having me back, Glenn.

[00:03] >> It is so great to have you.

[00:05] >> Thank you. Yeah, especially on the 250th

[00:07] birthday weekend. So,

[00:08] >> I know. It's nuts. I nuts. It's nuts.

[00:10] Um, I don't remember what congressman.

[00:12] I'm sorry to change this subject, but I

[00:14] just noticed your congressional pen

[00:15] there. And I had a congressman walking

[00:18] with me at one point, or maybe it was a

[00:20] senator, and he took it off. The minute

[00:22] he got off the capital grounds, he took

[00:23] it off and he said, "This is the ring."

[00:27] He's like, "This is I feel like the only

[00:29] >> I think it was massie."

[00:30] >> It was massy. Yeah.

[00:31] >> Massie. He's He's right. Um I like to

[00:33] wear it during press interviews for

[00:34] speech and debate clause.

[00:36] >> People try to sue you.

[00:38] >> Oh, as long as you're wearing that.

[00:39] >> Well, you know, because I You've invited

[00:41] me as my official capacity. So, you

[00:43] know, when I'm talking about people's

[00:45] insider trading and stuff. Yeah.

[00:46] >> Wow. Wow. Yeah. He took it off. He said

[00:49] I don't like it because he's like it's

[00:51] the power of the ring. It's like it's my

[00:53] precious. My precious.

[00:56] >> Yeah. Anyway,

[00:56] >> he's not wrong. He's not drawn for a lot

[00:58] of people. Um, you know, especially

[01:00] right now with the political climate,

[01:01] too.

[01:02] >> You don't want to wear it unless you're,

[01:04] you know, on the hill because it's a

[01:07] target.

[01:07] >> Yeah.

[01:08] >> Scary.

[01:09] >> Um, it's definitely changed, especially

[01:11] after Charlie. But what's even crazier

[01:13] is that, you know, there's this

[01:15] sentiment of assassination culture where

[01:17] people are actually pushing it and

[01:18] embracing it. And I I mean, we can

[01:21] probably do a whole segment on what just

[01:23] happened in New York with a lot of the

[01:24] DSA candidates getting elected, but you

[01:27] know, there's been a lot of anti-white

[01:29] rhetoric, a lot of um I believe I saw

[01:32] one comment specifically that said ghast

[01:35] and it was repres um referencing a

[01:37] group, you know, of predominantly Jewish

[01:39] Americans. And so, you know, that type

[01:41] of stuff is is really horrifying to see

[01:43] because these people say, "Oh, well,

[01:44] communism or socialism just hasn't been

[01:46] done correctly."

[01:47] >> Yeah.

[01:47] >> And we know that that's when I mean how

[01:50] many times do we have to go through

[01:51] this? It's the same it's the same thing.

[01:53] It just doesn't work.

[01:54] >> Um

[01:56] generally speaking you you you hopeful.

[01:59] >> Well yeah so last time I was talking

[02:00] with you I think we were talking about

[02:02] the Neville Roy Singum and the network

[02:04] and um you saw that the Department of

[02:06] Justice has a massive investigation and

[02:08] has been working on investigating him

[02:10] going after him criminally. So yes

[02:11] absolutely hopeful.

[02:12] >> So I had Jason was with me. I had the

[02:15] FBI call. How long ago was that? Three

[02:18] months ago, Jason.

[02:19] >> Oh, yeah. Easy. Easy. Maybe maybe six

[02:21] months ago.

[02:22] >> Uh the FBI called and said, "We'd like

[02:24] to talk to you." And I'm like, "Do I

[02:26] need to come? Is there a problem?"

[02:27] >> Always bring a lawyer.

[02:28] >> I know. I know.

[02:28] >> What he said was, "Jason, what did you

[02:30] do?"

[02:30] >> Yeah. Yeah, I did. And so I said, "Sure,

[02:33] come on over to the house." So, a couple

[02:35] of agents came over to the house and

[02:36] they were actually, you know, gathering

[02:38] information and they said, "You know so

[02:40] much about these networks." And I said,

[02:42] "Well, tell me what you guys know." And

[02:44] it was almost nothing.

[02:45] >> Yeah, they're they're new. Um, a lot of

[02:48] them, you know, you'd figure that the

[02:49] criminal aspect, and this gets into FAR,

[02:51] so I actually have the legislation

[02:52] already back. I'm writing it with Derek

[02:55] Van Orton, um, who's another member of

[02:57] Congress. And so, it's specifically to

[02:59] force influencers to kind of actually go

[03:01] after these networks also for taking

[03:04] money from foreign government. So, we

[03:05] know that with the Singum network

[03:06] specifically, he's getting a lot of

[03:07] funding from China. But now that the

[03:09] Department of Justice is actually doing

[03:10] their job instead of going after, you

[03:12] know, people at abortion clinics that

[03:14] are simply protesting or, you know,

[03:16] Catholics,

[03:17] >> um, it's it's crazy what happens when

[03:18] the government does their job.

[03:20] >> And it was crazy to me as they sat down,

[03:22] Jason and I, they left and Jason and I

[03:24] were like, "Oh my gosh." I mean, and it

[03:26] it makes sense that, you know, Obama,

[03:28] Biden,

[03:28] >> they're not investigating any of this

[03:30] stuff. They don't want any investigation

[03:31] on this stuff. Um, and it was amazing to

[03:34] me how little they knew at the time

[03:37] because these are advanced networks. And

[03:41] if the those networks are put on notice,

[03:44] oh, we're coming for you, some of it

[03:47] will go deeper into hiding, but a lot of

[03:49] it will just stop because it's right on

[03:52] the surface.

[03:52] >> Well, a lot of these people, to include

[03:55] the individuals that were knowingly

[03:57] engaged with taking money from foreign

[03:59] governments, are now also under

[04:00] investigation. But you can't just do

[04:02] investigations. There has to be punitive

[04:04] action to it. And so that's going to

[04:06] happen.

[04:07] >> Wait, wait, wait. Say that again because

[04:09] that's like conservative form. You don't

[04:10] hear that all the time.

[04:11] >> Yeah. So it's going to happen. They're

[04:12] not just investigating to investigate.

[04:14] They are going after these people. And

[04:16] so I have known about the investigation

[04:19] for some time. I just can't talk about

[04:22] it until the DOJ actually

[04:24] >> does their announcement. But you know,

[04:25] this goes back to Yeah. Even with the

[04:27] pen. Even with the pen. Um, Senator,

[04:29] >> I think the pin gives you permission to

[04:31] say it here.

[04:32] >> Well, yeah, depending on who's who's

[04:34] interpreting the rules, right? Right.

[04:36] Um, Senator Rubio at the time when he

[04:38] was on Senate Intelligence actually had

[04:41] written a letter was following the

[04:42] Singham network. Um, Senator Rick Scott

[04:44] actually also just did a letter to say,

[04:47] "Hey, some of these organizations like

[04:48] Code Pink, we need to remove the 501c3

[04:51] status of them." Yeah.

[04:52] >> Um, also to Senator Jim Banks. So, we

[04:54] have a lot of good conservative senators

[04:55] that are following this, but you know, I

[04:57] mean, can we please go to the Senate

[04:59] because I got a lot to share.

[05:00] >> Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, let's go.

[05:02] >> Yeah. So, um I you know, I want to just

[05:04] be really clear about something. We're

[05:05] on America's 250th birthday right now or

[05:08] birthday celebration basically this

[05:10] entire year. And we control the House,

[05:13] the Senate, and the White House. And yet

[05:16] you have a group of four Republicans in

[05:19] Senate and really John Thun who has

[05:21] every ability to enforce the talking

[05:24] filibuster and just doesn't want to do

[05:26] it.

[05:26] >> Mike Lee is beside himself.

[05:28] >> Well, but the thing is is that you

[05:30] cannot like if you're going to continue

[05:32] the cycle of insanity, then you can't

[05:34] complain about it. But that's why I'm

[05:35] taking such a hardline position on what

[05:38] I'm doing right now with by the way

[05:40] other members of Congress. This is not

[05:42] just my fight. I mean, you have members

[05:43] of the Freedom Caucus. Um,

[05:44] Representative Tim Burchett, Max Miller,

[05:46] all these members are saying, "Hey, hold

[05:48] up. We have the ability to in the text

[05:51] of the National Defense Authorization

[05:53] Act, put the Save America Act." And yet,

[05:56] why are we not doing it? And so, I'm not

[05:58] voting for the rule. They're not going

[06:00] to vote for the rule. And the excuse

[06:02] that I got from leadership, actually, I

[06:04] got a call from Steve Scaliz, and he

[06:05] said, "We can't put it in because it's

[06:06] considered not Germaine. That means it

[06:07] has nothing to do with the bill." Um,

[06:09] first of all, there's been many cases

[06:10] this year in the 119th Congress where

[06:13] they've done other legislation that you

[06:15] could argue was not germanine and they

[06:16] stuck things in. And secondly, as a

[06:19] veteran, if you are telling me that

[06:21] voter ID and proof of citizenship and

[06:23] everything else in America is not

[06:25] important to national defense and

[06:26] security, maybe you haven't been paying

[06:28] attention. It is. And so we have

[06:30] >> especially with especially with what's

[06:32] happening with China, especially with

[06:34] with what's happening with Iran, all

[06:37] China and Iran, it is Chuck Schumer

[06:39] saying that he wants to give citizenship

[06:42] to millions of illegal people here. It

[06:46] is the fact that it doesn't matter if

[06:48] it's one or 100 or a thousand cases of

[06:50] voter fraud. Why would you not want to

[06:52] secure that? It is the fact that you

[06:54] have, you know, I call them blue and but

[06:57] these Democrats that are saying, "Oh,

[06:58] the, you know, the Trump machine's going

[07:00] to steal the election." You hear this

[07:01] crazy concept that they're steal that

[07:03] they stole the last election. Well,

[07:04] let's play devil's advocate. If you

[07:06] really think the election is going to be

[07:07] stolen, don't you want voter ID? But

[07:09] like, even aside from that, even aside

[07:10] from party politics, black, white,

[07:13] Hispanic, Democrat, Republican,

[07:15] independent, men, women, we all want

[07:17] voter ID. Period. And so I'm not going

[07:20] to I don't care if they go on television

[07:22] and trash me. Everyone who's paying

[07:24] attention knows that if we don't stick

[07:26] this in the NDA, if we don't stick it in

[07:27] FISA, if we don't try everything, if we

[07:29] don't try in reconciliation, it will

[07:30] never become law. And that's not that's

[07:32] not an option. Is the president for you

[07:35] on this or against you? Because I

[07:37] >> I won't speak for the president, but

[07:39] what I will say is that um I have been

[07:42] one of President Trump's very few from

[07:45] the beginning protectors and defenders

[07:47] and I was with him in New York City and

[07:49] I will continue to have his back. And

[07:51] there are some members of Congress that

[07:53] are using this fight right now for some

[07:56] personal reasons and gains. Um I think

[08:00] he's addressing them, not me.

[08:02] >> Okay. Um, can you tell me what the hell

[08:05] is wrong with what what people ask me

[08:08] all the time, why won't they do it? What

[08:12] What are they gaining by not doing it

[08:14] other than just continuing to play the

[08:17] game?

[08:17] >> You know, John Thun's GOP went to

[08:21] censure him. Then they said, "Well, if

[08:23] we censure him, it's going to give the

[08:25] um the Democrats a win." I would argue

[08:27] that, you know, when you have someone

[08:28] that's failing to deliver on one of the

[08:31] promises that the Republican party made

[08:33] to the American people, then that's a

[08:36] failure in itself. And when you in the

[08:37] military, you learn when you have poor

[08:39] leadership, you don't blame the

[08:40] enlisted. You take responsibility as a

[08:43] commanding officer. So where's the

[08:45] responsibility taking of the Senate?

[08:47] Then you have these other members that

[08:49] don't care. So this idea in the Senate

[08:52] is, and you can see it, they were more

[08:54] concerned about putting the automatic

[08:57] wind for some of the lawsuits that they

[09:00] had for their cases than they were

[09:02] debating Save America. They're more

[09:03] concerned about dog parades than Save

[09:05] America. They all went on recess and

[09:07] vacation and then they're attacking Mike

[09:09] Lee behind closed doors and Senator

[09:11] Scott because he's fighting. I don't

[09:13] care. I don't want to be in Senate. And

[09:16] what I will tell you is part of the

[09:17] freeing part of I think my mentality in

[09:19] this is that I don't care if I'm here

[09:21] for 10 years or not.

[09:22] >> So

[09:23] >> So like I can do what's right and

[09:25] necessary.

[09:26] >> So let me tell you something. When you

[09:28] actually don't care cuz that's that's

[09:30] what terrified people when I was at the

[09:32] network level that terrified them

[09:35] because I didn't care if I was on Fox

[09:37] for another day or CNN. It didn't matter

[09:39] to me. I don't care. When you actually

[09:42] can say, "I don't care." And people

[09:47] believe you, the power that comes with

[09:50] that is remarkable because people don't

[09:52] know what to do with you. There's no way

[09:54] to intimidate you. There's You're like,

[09:57] "Go ahead. I don't care."

[09:58] >> The best advice I ever got was from Jim

[10:00] Jordan. Two things. The first thing he

[10:02] said is always travel with your spouse

[10:04] because, you know, you're a young woman

[10:05] and they'll try to spread rumors.

[10:07] >> Um, which I do always travel with my

[10:08] spouse and my child as well. Um, and

[10:10] then the other thing was is if you

[10:12] promise to do what you said you were

[10:14] going to do on the campaign trail, it's

[10:16] remarkable how easy it will be for you

[10:18] at this job. And I promise to do this to

[10:21] every single one of my voters. And you

[10:22] know what? When

[10:25] people go to the press and they trash

[10:26] me, I'm not going to bring up their

[10:29] stock trades that look remarkably

[10:31] similar to insider trading. I'll let the

[10:32] American people do that.

[10:33] >> Um, but what I will focus on is my

[10:36] parliamentary tools in my toolkit. And

[10:38] guess what? You want my vote? Put the

[10:41] text of the Save America Act in the

[10:42] National Defense Authorization Act. Stop

[10:44] giving me excuses. Stop pulling

[10:45] parliamentary procedure. Stop lying to

[10:47] the American people and saying that

[10:49] we're obstructing. We are fighting. You

[10:51] all promised to do this when you guys

[10:53] got elected

[10:53] >> again. I have to go back. Why won't

[10:56] they?

[10:57] >> Well, there is some concern, I think, in

[10:58] the House that Senate would have to take

[11:00] a tough vote on the NDA, but I don't

[11:03] care.

[11:03] >> Oh my gosh.

[11:05] River.

[11:06] >> Let's send it over. Let's help our

[11:08] frontline members that depend on this.

[11:09] Let's help them get elected because

[11:11] guess what? The midterms are only a few

[11:12] months away. Let's give the American

[11:14] people faith in their vote and the

[11:16] election process. Let's deliver for the

[11:18] president. But more importantly, if the

[11:21] Senate's going to then make the decision

[11:22] to strip that out, let them offer the

[11:24] amendment to strip it out. Let them take

[11:26] that vote and let John Thoon say this is

[11:29] what my chamber did. But it is not my

[11:31] job and I refuse to run cover for the

[11:33] Senate and I refuse to run cover for

[11:35] those in the House that are trying to

[11:37] protect the Senate.

[11:37] >> Do do you think the GOP is anyone

[11:40] learning the lesson from Cornin and what

[11:43] happened that the GOP voter is just

[11:46] done? We're not playing the same game

[11:47] anymore.

[11:48] >> Um I think the Senate made a a very

[11:50] terrible mistake in in trying to back

[11:54] candidates that they knew would fail

[11:56] because they live up here. they've

[11:58] gotten too complacent in their circle

[11:59] and that's why the founding fathers

[12:01] never wanted politics to be a full-time

[12:02] job.

[12:03] >> But they'll just have to learn the hard

[12:05] way. And I look forward to the

[12:06] president's convention because some of

[12:08] these people won't be able to show their

[12:09] face. And it's not about shaming people.

[12:12] It's about calling them out for

[12:14] promising and failing to deliver. Thank

[12:16] you for thinking for yourself and being

[12:18] part of a movement because that's really

[12:20] what all of this is. If you want the
