Transcript
00:00:00.120
Well, the virus has now killed more than 100 people in China, and new cases have been confirmed
00:00:06.040
So you don't want to frighten the American public.
00:00:08.320
France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans.
00:00:14.160
Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China.
00:00:18.400
That this is going to be a real serious problem.
00:00:20.400
France, Australia, Canada, the U.S., Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on.
00:00:24.860
Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the U.S.
00:00:32.300
The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide.
00:00:35.760
Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus.
00:00:39.060
Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500.
00:01:07.980
We've got some great guests coming in studio, trying to track down Governor Sarah Palin.
00:01:14.300
We've got the force for the live report from Bedminster.
00:01:16.820
I want to start with my good buddy here, Eric Prince.
00:01:29.800
Because hasn't, isn't she kind of like putting Biden out of a job?
00:01:34.440
Yeah, it was definitely not a, it was not a Commander-in-Chief type role for her to be doing.
00:01:39.080
I think it was, I applaud anything that pokes the CCP is a good thing, but I think it gives
00:01:47.940
the CCP too much of a reason with the blockade and all the other stuff they're doing.
00:01:53.060
It might even give Xi Jinping enough of a lift with his domestic market to infuriate him
00:01:58.280
that it makes his re-election this fall easier.
00:02:03.360
I don't think he'll, I don't think they'll try to keep the blockade on.
00:02:08.100
I mean, certainly the United States cannot let, the Western world cannot let them be choked
00:02:13.060
off and isolated like a Berlin airlift scenario like we had in the 40s after World War II.
00:02:21.900
Xi has to be re-elected in his mind, so he'll try to keep the pressure on to make noise.
00:02:26.660
Look, all this naval activity or what we're seeing, you're one of the smartest guys in
00:02:30.640
the world about this, is what we're seeing, is that portend a naval or air blockade right
00:02:40.260
They've really shut down most of the commercial air travel and commercial vessels, so there
00:02:47.960
I hope it doesn't last long, but it cannot be allowed to continue ad infinitum.
00:02:52.880
Let me ask my, let me ask our posse right here.
00:02:55.900
By the way, do we support a free and independent Taiwan?
00:03:13.540
Do you support, are we treading into something very different, very dangerous when we start
00:03:18.240
talking about a free and independent Taiwan versus the one China policy?
00:03:21.620
I would have rather had a, an appropriation go in to get Taiwan some good diesel electric
00:03:27.900
submarines or good minefields or encourage them to build an actual home guard, which like
00:03:36.080
You don't believe that if we supported diesel boat submarines, the Chinese counties probably
00:03:42.780
Because what are they going to use diesel boat submarines for?
00:03:45.140
Shoot, the torpedo, it's fast attack, shooting down.
00:03:48.020
For ensuring free and open navigation, like every other country.
00:03:51.660
Of the Straits of Taiwan, Straits of Taiwan and the South China Sea.
00:03:58.960
How important is us to confront, do you believe that we are going from hybrid or unrestricted
00:04:06.120
warfare, which is economic, cyber, and information?
00:04:10.360
Do you think we're sliding to kinetic war right now?
00:04:16.420
I mean, lining up the tanks, all their amphibious vehicles on the beach of Xiamen directly across
00:04:22.760
That's a lot of noise, but, but, but no fire, right?
00:04:29.900
Look, it'd be a bigger problem if they were loading it onto ferries to take it across.
00:04:33.480
Because that's real, lining them up there, lining them up as a, as a, as a big chess
00:04:41.820
They fired missiles, I think today or yesterday from, from Chinese facilities and even hit inside
00:04:57.800
So they, they hit inside of waters, which would be considered the EEZ of Japan, not just
00:05:05.500
Do you think they're sending a message to the entire region that if you back the Americans
00:05:10.320
They want to, but again, they want to win this thing in as, in an asymmetrical way as possible.
00:05:15.140
They don't want it to go to a full-on conventional war.
00:05:18.160
Look, every general surrounding Xi has paid for that position.
00:05:27.800
Based on their buying that position because they get to trade on that for years to come.
00:05:34.460
They, they, they, not the best generals or the best war fighters.
00:05:36.680
And so you have a combination of, of a lot of, uh, very political generals, even more
00:05:45.020
Political generals there that have bought a lot of stuff and they've kind of started to
00:05:49.740
So that's a, uh, it's an interesting wrestling match for Xi to say, I mean, because if they
00:05:55.020
try to take Taiwan by force and they fail, it is absolutely the end of his rule and probably
00:06:02.460
I don't think that's a gamut they want to throw down just yet.
00:06:05.000
So they will try to make noise, intimidate, bluster, try to take it through all means just
00:06:13.320
So that's why the United States has to be smarter in fighting these unconventionally
00:06:17.280
and, and quietly giving the kind of aid, the kind of deterrence.
00:06:22.140
Why I want Taiwan to build a home guard so badly, because if they mobilize just 3% of
00:06:27.180
their population, that's another 750,000 people with guns, with capability that all they have
00:06:33.580
to do is step outside and defend their neighborhood.
00:06:36.140
That is a huge math problem for any invading force to have to contemplate.
00:06:42.960
Are we prepared to win a war right now with about the defense of Taiwan, an amphibious
00:06:48.640
assault, and are we prepared to win a war in the South China Sea or defending the Straits
00:06:53.840
of Taiwan, the U.S. 7th Fleet today, if the balloon went up?
00:06:58.540
As you said before, are they ready to fight tonight?
00:07:01.340
I don't know that they are because they've had a lot of maintenance problems.
00:07:04.960
They've had a lot of good order and discipline problems between fatal collisions with commercial
00:07:09.900
vessels, losing a submarine, crashing into a seamount, losing a $6 billion warship to a
00:07:16.260
fire while it's tied up, the Bonhomme Richard tied up in San Diego Harbor.
00:07:20.260
Those are not the things that, that deliver a message of strength and capability and deterrence.
00:07:25.780
And when you pile that on top of the debacle of the Afghan pullout and really even allowing
00:07:30.740
the failure of deterrence to stop Putin from invading Ukraine, they see, I mean, I worry
00:07:37.320
that if the Chinese are going to do something, they're going to do it while Joe Biden is president
00:07:41.120
because they see the ultimate perfect leader for them to be able to push in and assert their
00:07:48.080
You don't think we did enough deterrence to, Trump had deterrence, Trump had deterrence
00:08:01.840
Uh, and, and I think Putin respected him as another leader that would make difficult choices
00:08:08.160
and would go toe to toe to him if he needed to.
00:08:10.940
Uh, the Biden, uh, leadership style has not been very strong and it is, it is, it empowers
00:08:17.940
I mean, everywhere around the world, it's going crazy.
00:08:23.940
The left has, has swept through elections all through South America in a way we haven't
00:08:33.360
I keep thinking I could correlate now the period we're into, to the late seventies in
00:08:38.260
America, a Carter administration, we're far worse than where we were in the Carter
00:08:45.100
You think we're weaker today than we were in that relative to the world?
00:08:48.980
We don't have the, the ample supply of reserves economically and we have $30 trillion in
00:08:54.840
You think financially we're in much worse trade?
00:08:56.960
Especially the, the, the dollar as the world's reserve currency is at risk.
00:09:01.700
The overuse of sanctions is, is, is forcing other countries to still trade.
00:09:07.940
It's too much the easy button for Washington to think they're doing something instead of
00:09:12.060
the kind of covert action subterfuge that we should be doing to make our enemies fear
00:09:18.940
I got Eric Prince, one of the smartest guys geopolitically in the world in a war room
00:09:22.960
regular, hang on, uh, Jane Zirka, let's go, let's, let's introduce, have some of the posse
00:09:33.360
Well, I'm here because, uh, like all of us, we want to save this country.
00:09:37.600
Also, I wanted to say that, uh, I'm part of the group of parents and we were very successful
00:09:44.880
in getting our school board in Grapevine flipped.
00:09:49.280
It was, uh, seven, uh, liberals and we got it changed to four conservatives and three liberals.
00:10:01.840
Now, also Clarissa, tell me what compelled you to come to CPAC today.
00:10:08.800
And I'm also with Moms for Liberty out of Tarrant County.
00:10:11.520
And so we're here to, uh, support Mr. Bannon and we're part of the deporables and the war room posse.
00:10:20.080
How many, how many here, right here are from Texas?
00:10:38.380
Uh, we got, I want to make sure we get that fixed so I can hear it, Harry.
00:10:43.140
Eric, Eric, Eric, talk to me about, uh, talk to me about the Chinese Communist Party, the military threat of it, okay?
00:10:52.320
Is it a military threat outside the South China Sea, outside the Straits of, uh, the Straits of Taiwan?
00:10:58.740
Can the United States military sort them if they want to trade the Straits of Malacca,
00:11:03.160
if they want to partner up with other nations in the Eurasian landmass?
00:11:05.920
Are they going to be a big partner to Russia in the Ukraine?
00:11:11.600
Look, their, their money, we need, we need worst of all, we need to, to clarify and to purify the CCP influence out of America.
00:11:25.180
What do you mean out of America, the influence peddling here in this country?
00:11:27.560
Look, after the Soviet, after World War II, it was very clear that the Soviet Union squared off against,
00:11:32.780
it was East versus West, freedom versus communism.
00:11:35.720
For all those years since then, um, the globalists had this idea that if we made China rich,
00:11:41.740
and we allowed them into the WTO, that if we made them rich, that they would become like us.
00:11:44.720
It hasn't, it has reinforced their CCP tendencies.
00:11:50.040
Our oligarchs, our tech oligarchs, state capitalism, our authoritarian world.
00:11:53.140
They're the tentacles of that money with big Wall Street, with the big hedge fund managers,
00:11:58.320
that nobody wants to count, nobody wants to stand up to China, even in Hollywood, right?
00:12:03.120
It's even, it's amazing to see Hollywood has come alive to the fact that a movie like Top Gun,
00:12:07.960
that is pro-America, and kind of stands up to China, because China was complaining about the mere patch
00:12:18.280
They digitally removed it at one time, and then put it back.
00:12:20.220
And then they put it back, and that movie did over a billion dollars.
00:12:26.020
So we need to, the next administration has to make it very clear, are you on the side of freedom?
00:12:30.460
You mean the Trump administration when it returns off?
00:12:36.700
Look, we need to, are you on the side of freedom, or are you on the side of the CCP and all the tentacles, right?
00:12:46.120
So whether it's Confucius Institutes at universities, paying for research grants in biotech,
00:12:53.660
and the amount, they have been insidious in how they've implanted Chinese access actors throughout our society.
00:13:01.200
Nancy Pelosi, all her donors are Silicon Valley, and the big guys are already Sequoia Capital,
00:13:05.300
totally infiltrated by the CCP, Silicon Valley by the CCP.
00:13:11.180
This is an act that she did, or is this meaningful, given that the Democratic Party,
00:13:15.660
with the big corporatists, with big tech, big media, has already been compromised by the CCP?
00:13:25.560
I'm glad to see representatives of the U.S. government visiting Taiwan.
00:13:29.140
My worry is that it only gives them a, it causes belly to do this and to lash out at Taiwan.
00:13:36.960
I still don't think they're trying to go the distance right now, because Xi has to be reelected.
00:13:41.340
You think he wants to get past the party conference in November?
00:13:43.140
He's got to get past the party conference, because, right, why did he lock down Shanghai for so long?
00:13:51.900
You have three factions, the Young Prince Lings, the Shanghai faction, Communist Youth League.
00:13:57.280
He had to smash Shanghai, and he did, welding people into their houses over COVID.
00:14:02.480
When they had 18 cases in Shanghai, a city of 32 million people.
00:14:06.520
It was about making sure no one from Shanghai rose up and opposed his being president for life.
00:14:11.660
Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break.
00:14:14.640
We're trying to wrangle Governor Palin right now.
00:14:21.540
Boris is going to check in from Bedmiss or all of it.
00:14:25.280
We're going to be back in the warm in just a moment.
00:15:01.560
When your nation's supposed authority on economic policy completely misses the flashing red lights
00:15:10.460
Now, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has finally admitted, quote,
00:15:14.560
there's been an unanticipated and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices
00:15:19.440
and supply bottlenecks that affected our economy badly that I didn't, at the time, fully understand, end quote.
00:15:28.780
You know who understands the real threat of inflation?
00:15:31.140
People who invested in gold and silver with Birch Gold Group.
00:15:36.400
They're protecting their savings from a highly turbulent economy by diversifying their 401k or IRA into gold, physical gold.

00:16:28.700
The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide.
00:16:41.960
We've got a very rowdy crowd here of deplorables and whorling posse.
00:17:12.580
I became a precinct chair in Travis County because of this show.
00:17:16.100
And now I work with county citizens defending freedom for election integrity because of this show.
00:17:28.460
He knows what's going on, and he communicates it well.
00:17:35.560
Why do you think grassroots activism is so important?
00:17:43.260
I think it's important if you look at Bannon's show,
00:17:53.820
You're more effective than a lot of people than politicians.
00:18:35.660
and we'll get in before Governor Palin gets here.
00:18:40.560
we're coming up on the one-year anniversary of Afghanistan.
00:18:48.880
for all the promise that Afghanistan would no longer harbor al-Qaeda,
00:18:58.340
They promised it would no longer be a terror sanctuary.
00:19:02.820
Zawahiri was living in a luxury palace 300 meters from the UK embassy in the green zone.
00:19:09.560
They used to call it the area of poppy palaces because it's where all the money went.
00:19:33.360
One of them is now the interior minister of Afghanistan.
00:19:36.480
And they were renting out the house to Ayman Zawahiri,
00:19:42.360
literally the co-mastermind of the 9-11 attacks.
00:19:47.600
And they got him because he went on his porch consistently every morning.
00:19:54.160
How did it take 21 years to finally get that guy?
00:20:05.340
How did it take 21 years to track this guy down?
00:20:17.200
Between the tribal areas being harbored by Pakistan,
00:20:26.980
I think he got sloppy and he paid the price for it.
00:20:32.340
we don't have an official right now DNA check or whatever they do.
00:20:50.460
whether it's electronically or family members or optically,
00:20:55.940
This is a guy they've been looking for for a long time.
00:20:58.180
So they're in the cameras are so good on these drones.
00:21:00.820
They locked in and finally they got permission to take a shot.
00:21:08.180
Tom Friedman had a column the other day about how he was opposed,
00:21:12.380
how opposed he was to Nancy Pelosi going to Taiwan.
00:21:17.380
we talked about this on the show the other day,
00:21:19.180
they said that the Biden administration has lost all faith in Zelensky.
00:21:26.480
he fired his attorney general and the head of his intelligence services on the same day,
00:21:30.920
the equivalent of Biden firing Merrick Garland and the head of the CIA.
00:21:39.840
What is the ground truth of where that war is right now in Ukraine?
00:21:43.880
I'm happy to see any leader hold their national security apparatus accountable,
00:21:48.880
Something we haven't done here in America in a long time.
00:21:52.300
the Russians are grinding along when the Ukrainians don't really have the ability to maneuver.
00:21:58.160
That means the Russians can move their artillery within range and they just start pounding.
00:22:02.520
And they're pounding at five to 10,000 rounds a day like a rototiller.
00:22:16.560
They have a big problem because Putin does not want to mobilize
00:22:19.560
because that would be a huge political problem.
00:22:22.760
So they're sending every non-Russian ethnicity that they can from like Baikal,
00:22:27.440
from the Far East, from the Mongolian border, everywhere.
00:22:36.960
They're not doing press gangs in the clubs and bars in Moscow.
00:22:52.760
Their favorite private military company is recruiting globally,
00:22:56.660
trying to get people to show up because they're dying.
00:23:00.820
The Ukrainian special operations are fighting very well.
00:23:07.220
I don't know if it's 75,000, but it's approaching 50.
00:23:13.120
Zelensky is talking about raising a million-man army.
00:23:17.100
They were running press gangs through Ukraine to the bars,
00:23:21.480
How many actual troops does he have deployed on the Donbass?
00:23:39.140
From other jobs that they were working in Europe,
00:23:43.500
I think it's as imperfect as Ukrainian democracy might be,
00:23:47.000
people showed up with their own flesh and blood
00:23:57.380
The escalation has really come, though, from the West, hasn't it?
00:24:01.880
I mean, it's the West that's pressing in there.
00:24:03.860
Austin and Blinken wanted to severely degrade the Russian military
00:24:14.920
until Putin is militarily unable to continue to pound.
00:24:24.280
to up the ability of the Ukrainians to punch back a bit.
00:24:54.380
So listen, first off, tell us about the congressional run.
00:24:57.720
We're looking forward to having you in the House.
00:25:01.060
Shouldn't Governor Palin be part of the leadership of the House?
00:25:07.840
Let me get right on in there with all the other congressmen.
00:25:23.900
And it's bizarre, though, Steve, because you'll appreciate this.
00:25:27.400
This newfangled weirdo voting system we have where it's mail-in-only ballots.
00:25:43.660
And even in a little tiny village where maybe five people vote.
00:25:51.440
And President Trump was up there a couple weeks ago.
00:25:57.180
You should get back there as you had a good time last time up there.
00:26:01.740
And President Trump tried to explain to the audience out there that with this ranked choice voting,
00:26:07.760
the third place, the third most popular candidate can actually win the thing through a process of elimination in a weird counting system.
00:26:18.300
Is this the Murkowski you fought when you came as the mayor of Wasilla?
00:26:23.220
Your number one thing was to take on the old boy network, right?
00:26:29.660
Is this the old boy network setting up the direction?
00:26:33.240
And you call it a nice term, good old boys network.
00:26:36.440
They actually had hats back in the day where they embroidered on them the corrupt bastards club.
00:26:46.000
So Lisa Murkowski's attorney pushed hard for this new voting system to get her back in there in the Senate because she couldn't win straight up as a Republican.
00:26:56.220
That should have told Republican lawmakers in our legislature from the start something's whack about the voting system.
00:27:03.440
So tell us, how is the Murkowski machine still run the state?
00:27:16.400
These are the aristocracy right now, as they see it, of Alaska.
00:27:21.140
You know, I really think they think they have more influence than they actually do because especially the young people, you know, they're all about this third great awakening.
00:27:31.600
And they don't care about families that have claimed this dynasty for years and years.
00:27:45.260
We have Eric Prince, Governor Palin, Stephen K. Bennett.
00:27:49.480
We're going to turn with the War Room Posse here live at CPAC in just a moment.
00:28:25.840

00:30:02.060
Should Governor Palin be in leadership as soon as she gets to the House?
00:30:11.420
The morning media gets all over all the Republicans, gets all over you all the time, all the stuff.
00:30:26.220
Does MSNBC pay her more than she pays Joe Scarborough?
00:30:29.640
Because they're all over us as a bunch of white nationalists and misogynists.
00:30:33.540
And Donald Trump's the worst thing in the world.
00:30:36.400
What does Sarah Palin, Governor Palin think about Morning Mika?
00:30:45.780
She's allowing this to happen, yet she's going to judge us and preach to us about we, supposedly.
00:31:02.700
And yet, again, she puts herself in a seat of judgment for everybody else.
00:31:10.880
Mika has been a journalist, I think, for 20 or 30 years.
00:31:16.400
He's kind of the typical guy drafting off a strong woman.
00:31:23.600
Do you believe she should be paid at least as much or more than Joe?
00:31:29.980
And yet, she's allowing herself to be under Joe.
00:31:34.720
And, you know, though, behind every successful man stands a surprised woman.
00:31:40.600
Maybe she's just surprised at how Joe has succeeded.
00:31:54.780
You talk about the great awakening a moment ago.
00:31:58.020
I know you are, having been the filmmaker that made your biography, was it 10 years ago?
00:32:05.460
And I spent that great time in Alaska with you.
00:32:12.440
When you talk about a great awakening, what do you mean?
00:32:15.000
And you talk about that film called The Undefeated.
00:32:24.820
You know, I think inherent in, especially young people, is this passion for, this need for,
00:32:36.100
So, I think these young people, looking at what our government is doing to us, it was
00:32:40.800
our government, of course, feds, it was set up to protect our individual rights, not take
00:32:49.100
So, I think young people, especially, are going, no, no, no, no.
00:32:51.860
You know, we've had awakenings before in the history of mankind.
00:33:00.420
But everyone rising up, awakening to what these young people are feeling.
00:33:11.120
You know, putting our feet to the floor, running with this idea, with this principle,
00:33:17.280
with this truth, that we are made to be free, not to be subservient to government.
00:33:22.400
Okay, let me, Eric, I want to ask you too, but they're going to accuse you right now when
00:33:27.080
Because they've already accused you of it, that this is all about a Christian nationalism.
00:33:33.040
The people, we want to enforce our beliefs everywhere.
00:33:35.520
So, when they say, okay, when Sarah Palin talks about the Great Awakening, that's code word
00:33:39.380
for a white nationalist, Christian nationalism.
00:33:50.360
It's tolerating other people's beliefs, allowing them to have the freedom, as long as they're
00:33:59.500
This council culture and all this political correctness, all the political correct speech
00:34:04.240
that they try to tell us what to think, what to say.
00:34:08.580
No, people, I think people are awakening to the truth, that we were not created to be that.
00:34:16.520
And anybody who wants to accuse me of inciting violence, like they tried to accuse you of,
00:34:22.500
well, hey, it's not the first time I've been falsely accused of anything.
00:34:25.860
But the falsehood in that alone tells you, whoever's going to spew that kind of falsehood,
00:34:34.320
tells you how narrow-minded and intolerant and how dense they are.
00:34:39.620
So, you know, I'm going to consider the source if they're going to accuse me of that.
00:34:44.280
When they go up to Prince and they go up to you, like they went up to Carrie Lake and
00:34:47.720
Eric Greitens, they're never going to debate you on the subject matter.
00:34:55.080
Because you know oil and gas, you know energy, you know national security.
00:34:59.840
And you were a tough governor that backed off the corrupt guys in Alaska.
00:35:07.420
It's got to be the politics of personal destruction.
00:35:11.480
Like they came after Carrie Lake personally, $30 million.
00:35:18.380
Because like him, they're not going to sit there and ever debate Eric Prince on national
00:35:24.100
What they're going to say is Eric Prince is a bad guy.
00:35:28.460
You know, they'll try to poke the bear on that one.
00:35:31.980
But no, I mean, personally, you know, I live by the mantra, if you don't live by man's
00:35:36.380
praise, you're not going to die by man's criticism.
00:35:38.360
But those false accusations that that lead to potential danger when they accuse us of
00:35:45.020
inciting violence, they're just rounding up their base.
00:35:48.460
And who knows what that is inciting in the obstructionists, those who don't want a freedom
00:36:00.560
But Steve, you, more than anyone, you know that politics of personal destruction because
00:36:09.440
He called right when our Congressman Don Young had died.
00:36:11.780
And President Trump asked if I was going to run, wanted me to run.
00:36:16.520
And he said, I said, you are not a real politician.
00:36:24.520
But anyway, he said, Governor Palin, you got nothing to lose.
00:36:33.040
But he also said, though, consider what they've said about you, your kids, what they've done
00:36:44.220
And that's not a racist term because, you know, I'm going to get dinged for saying shackles
00:36:49.980
However, shackles are off, freedom, nothing to lose.
00:36:54.040
So, you know, it's just balls to the wall and go do the right thing.
00:36:57.000
When you say nothing to lose, you went to the Alaska Capitol as a small town governor
00:37:04.160
They said, well, she's a former sportscaster and an athlete.
00:37:07.180
Not jock, but, you know, who is a small, what's what's all up?
00:37:09.820
You went there and shocked them by saying, because I remember when I did the interview,
00:37:13.260
they said she knew more about the oil and gas industry and the corrupt practices than
00:37:19.140
When you go to Washington, D.C., I mean, God bless you what you did in Alaska, but the scale
00:37:24.420
of the corruption and incompetence in Washington, it's Babylon on the Potomac, right?
00:37:30.160
It is a wash in five and a half trillion dollars a year of a federal budget that's all
00:37:37.700
What is Sarah Palin going to do after she wins when you come to Washington?
00:37:42.100
Because I remember in the film, you said you told me your favorite movie is Mr.
00:37:46.920
So what do you do when you get to Washington, D.C.
00:37:49.360
as congressman representing the great state of Alaska?
00:37:51.900
And I wish I could stand on the floor and repeat the speech that he gave, you know,
00:37:56.620
But yeah, you know, fighting corruption is that's got to be the name of all of our games
00:38:01.660
or our country's going under and the things that they've gotten away with thus far.
00:38:10.680
But someone like me, when I talk about nothing to lose in terms of nobody buys me or sells
00:38:19.200
I don't have crony capitalism in my blood whatsoever.
00:38:22.300
It's people like me who can hit the ground running to get up there with a promise to drain
00:38:26.880
the swamp, the good guys in office today, they need reinforcements.
00:38:32.960
You know, I've always said, you don't need a title.
00:38:34.840
You don't need an office to get out there and fight for what's right and make a difference.
00:38:38.180
But our good guys need some votes along with them.
00:38:42.680
But not only that, I do want to provide leadership to remind the other congressmen, don't be scared.
00:38:52.520
They will try everything they can to destroy you and your family.
00:38:57.860
And I hope my track record can help prove that it's doable.
00:39:02.240
There's a lot of discussion about investigations, investigations of Fauci, investigations of the
00:39:06.860
laptop from hell, Hunter Biden's, all these investigations about the southern border, all
00:39:11.880
the emails and how did we get to the invasion of the southern border in your priorities when
00:39:16.480
the laptop from hell, the Biden corruption, Fauci, what happened in the Wuhan lab?
00:39:20.140
You got the southern border, the whole Ukraine situation.
00:39:23.700
What's been going on with the Chinese Communist Party, their infiltration and influence peddling?
00:39:28.020
As you rank order those, right, not in your voting because you're going to win.
00:39:31.940
When you come to D.C., walk us through your priorities.
00:39:34.860
OK, that's a great question because you just, you know, rattle off so many corrupt acts that
00:39:42.820
It does, though, bring me back to the reason I'm running the good guys in office needing votes.
00:39:49.040
Whatever happens to the findings, nobody goes to jail on their end, on the corrupt end of
00:40:00.460
Do you think these investigations ought to be real, they ought to be meaningful, and there
00:40:03.580
ought to be consequences for whether it's the finance of the Wuhan lab, the Fauci's operation
00:40:11.320
You're not going to have a show trial like January 6th.
00:40:13.660
You're actually going to get there, do it even handily.
00:40:15.720
But you're saying pursue it to its ultimate end and then hold people accountable.
00:40:19.600
Not only that, but we can't give up on the other corrupt acts that put our country in
00:40:23.960
the position that we're in, like the 30,000 emails that were erased and all.
00:40:34.540
Congress should be having these badass, huge rallies on the steps of the Capitol, and it
00:40:49.840
They should do whatever they can to get out there with a message to the public to let them
00:40:54.780
I don't know why they don't seize the opportunity.
00:41:01.760
Congress, the beast does not get smaller until we starve it.
00:41:07.520
The most important thing the next Congress has to do is start to scale down the spending.
00:41:13.260
The reason the five counties surrounding Washington, D.C. are per capita the wealthiest in the
00:41:18.080
country is because of that $5 trillion that flows through there.
00:41:22.060
Congress, the reason we're doing stupid gain-of-function stuff in the Wuhan labs is because we spend
00:41:31.820
That's how you drain the swamp, by literally putting bureaucrats and the NGOs and all the
00:41:39.320
Make them go get a real job and pay real taxes.
00:41:43.060
When you went to Wasilla with what Eric Prince just said, didn't you balance the budgets in
00:41:49.380
I did, and then when I was governor, and in my city of Wasilla, I got rid of personal
00:41:53.720
property taxes, reduced real property taxes, all that kind of stuff that in the end actually
00:41:59.260
generates revenue for government because it speeds up your economy.
00:42:03.220
Did the same thing as governor with record vetoes in order to cut down on the spending,
00:42:09.120
You don't make any friends doing that in the legislature, so you're always butting heads
00:42:13.520
But okay, so yeah, power of the purse, that's huge.
00:42:16.740
But do you agree with me, though, that Congress should be using their platform either collectively
00:42:24.120
Get out there and tell the people what's going on.
00:42:29.900
How do people find out about the campaign and, most importantly, how they support you?
00:42:38.900
All of our positions are spelled out in black and white, pro-life, pro-gun, all this.
00:42:47.000
So sarahforalaska, nothingscapitalized.com, and you'll see all my positions.
00:42:53.280
I think a lot of people already know kind of which way I lean.
00:42:56.120
And people can volunteer and they can send money?
00:43:00.760
Mike Lindell said you had an amazing fundraiser last night.
00:43:03.140
Governor Palin, it's an honor to have you on here.
00:43:06.160
And we want to see you in leadership when you get to Congress.
00:43:16.620
When we'll be back, I'm going to keep Eric Prince.
00:43:19.320
War Room Posse, John McLaughlin, the President's Pulse is going to be here in a moment.
00:43:23.740
It's all started, everything's begun, and you're all over, because we're taking down the CCP.
00:43:46.080
The years have proven that we need to be prepared.
00:43:49.700
We constantly see government overreach, attacks on our communication, an energy grid, worldwide
00:43:54.680
conflict, natural disasters, and the never-ending assault on our security and privacy.
00:43:59.480
Having reliable communications is essential, but don't get caught with that reliable communication.
00:44:06.000
And I'm here to tell you, your fragile cell phone simply won't cut it.
00:44:13.020
That's why I've partnered with the Satellite Phone Store, so you can stay prepared and ensure

Well, it not only stays fresh, it stays affordable.
00:45:36.920
You see, at today's prices, this food works out to around $3 a meal per person.

00:46:12.180
This is an investment that will pay dividends for years to come.
00:46:49.180
It's time to say what you want, the way you want.
00:47:01.700
By the way, I've got the president's pollster, John McLaughlin, right here.
00:47:05.980
Mark, how many people want President Trump to announce quickly and run in 2024?
00:47:17.340
Tell me, okay, first off, your Orban's also his poster.
00:47:26.780
Well, because, I mean, his conservative message is really important in terms of the conservative
00:47:32.180
political action conference went to Budapest after he got reelected with his highest margin
00:47:38.060
And when you think about the kind of climate that he was in, where the opposition, the
00:47:42.480
Soros-funded opposition, had united against him, they picked one candidate, and Orban won
00:47:48.180
with a record majority over 50%, which is really hard to do in a parliamentary system.
00:47:53.960
And he's got a record number of seats in his parliament.
00:47:56.780
And it was a time of surviving a global pandemic.
00:48:00.800
The economic shutdown is coming out of the pandemic.
00:48:06.040
Talk to us about the Soros influence over there.
00:48:10.560
Because they fund, it's a free country, a free democracy, where most people get their
00:48:17.140
And the leading TV station over there is an anti-Orban, left-of-center station.
00:48:22.200
And the internet is funded by NGOs, that Soros funds.
00:48:27.500
And then you also have the idea of our State Department.
00:48:31.680
Our State Department was funding anti-Orban media over there.
00:48:42.960
He said, to hell with the globalists, I'm here in Texas.
00:48:44.980
Yeah, but it's a very important message that he had, because he's saying the world needs
00:48:51.320
Western civilization needs a strong America to defend our Judeo-Christian values, because
00:48:57.220
he says, European countries, when you've been over there, they understand what it's
00:49:02.320
like without a weak, without a strong United States, when the United States is weak, because
00:49:06.620
what happens is, he said, Orban, we talked about Nazism, they don't believe in God, they
00:49:12.060
don't have our values, Soviet communism, they don't have our values.
00:49:19.940
One of the Judeo-Christian West, one of the linchpins of it.
00:49:22.360
Before we talk about polling, I want to remind everybody, John McLaughlin was President Trump's
00:49:29.720
Do we want John McLaughlin to be the lead pollster in 2024?
00:49:44.380
Could he have possibly had 81 million votes and have the bottom fall out as quickly as it's
00:49:55.820
The media won't even look at Wisconsin, where the state Supreme Court said their election
00:50:02.780
And there was the Supreme Court in a majority vote said there were illegal ballots.
00:50:08.000
We warned them because David Plouffe, who was Obama's campaign manager, worked for Zuckerberg.
00:50:18.800
Because our strategy in 2016 was bring out new voters.
00:50:24.480
People who were conservatives that didn't vote for Romney in 2012.
00:50:32.020
He reversed it on us, and nobody at the RNC, the Republican National Committee, picked up on it.
00:50:39.300
Because I know that you were telling them to give them a heads up.
00:50:42.780
Mark Elias put the Transition Integrity Project.
00:50:48.260
Raheem Kassam and I went around the nation and were given...
00:50:51.240
These secret recordings they're talking about are actually me giving talks throughout the country
00:50:56.460
Elias said, Trump's going to lead by a red tsunami at 10 or 11 o'clock at night on election night.
00:51:03.400
But just wait for all the mail-in ballots to be counted.
00:51:07.020
It'll be three weeks, and then Joe Biden will be named president.
00:51:09.360
They knew what they were doing, and Zuckerberg paid for it.
00:51:11.680
What's amazing is no one at the Republican National Committee has filed an IRS complaint against Zuckerberg
00:51:19.940
The other part is no one has filed an FEC complaint against them
00:51:23.580
because they basically violated the laws when they were doing that.
00:51:28.120
And the Republicans, you know, like our friend Pat Caddell used to say,
00:51:35.120
And it's like we were fighting it and saying they're going to steal the election.
00:51:39.680
In states like Texas, where Ken Paxton stood up to them, in Florida, where they stood up to them,
00:51:44.120
North Carolina, and didn't change the election laws, we won.
00:51:47.840
In states like Georgia, where they signed off on the drop boxes that were unsecure,
00:51:52.160
that people were dropping multiple ballots in, that you've got documentaries out on now, Dave Bossie.
00:51:58.460
I think you're in that, and they've got 2,000 mules.
00:52:06.300
That's the Republican, the McCain establishment, the anti-Trump forces trying to slow-walk Cary Lake's victory.
00:52:14.100
I was like, I was working for Jim Lehman, who's a really good guy, good conservative.
00:52:24.420
Does it shock you that Maricopa County, one of the biggest cities, famous, one of the most sophisticated cities in the world,
00:52:29.480
were now 125,000 ballots and going to bleed them out at 5,000 at a time?
00:52:37.120
Pinal County and Maricopa County are Republican in control.
00:52:40.080
Well, this is the problem because Soros goes out there and funds Secretary of State.
00:52:44.100
