In this episode, we talk with Tiffany Justice, founder of Moms for Liberty, and Hallie Belford, a school board chairwoman in Brevard County, Florida, about what it means to be a parent in the public school system.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hallie, Brevard County, the school board meetings there are anything but calm.
00:00:04.040 The one that we went to wasn't completely out of control.
00:00:06.800 But I can tell you that people, all kinds of parents that I talked to, describe those meetings now as a circus or a show.
00:00:14.220 Other people say it's just passionate people expressing their rights as parents.
00:00:19.420 But it has definitely become contentious for all the reasons that you just mentioned.
00:00:23.920 And these hot button issues are coming into play, sometimes coming from the outside and being brought in to Brevard County.
00:00:30.820 I had a chance to speak with the board chairwoman.
00:00:33.140 She's been there eight years on the board.
00:00:34.900 She's technically, as all of them are, nonpartisan.
00:00:38.440 But she said things have gotten so out of control, it's really hurting her staff.
00:00:41.880 Take a listen.
00:00:44.180 You had a meeting in October where you had to literally kick everybody out.
00:00:48.220 We are going to clear the room.
00:00:50.720 We did.
00:00:51.400 The audience started to get very loud, and it was reaching the point of being unsafe.
00:00:57.460 Belford is worried about the impact on teachers and administrators.
00:01:01.260 I'm blessed to be serving a group of 9,000 people that wake up every single day and pour their heart and soul.
00:01:14.280 Sorry.
00:01:15.400 What upsets you?
00:01:17.040 Our people are getting peed up.
00:01:18.280 And there is no more noble job.
00:01:23.240 And you won't find a group more committed to our kids.
00:01:28.380 And they are fallout in all of this, unfortunately.
00:01:33.900 They are fallout in all of this.
00:01:35.460 I heard that from a lot of parents, Hallie.
00:01:37.560 This has really divided the community.
00:01:39.700 And there are essentially two big groups right now in Brevard County.
00:01:42.760 One is called Moms for Liberty, founded by a former member of the school board who lost her seat after she really campaigned for no masks in schools.
00:01:52.760 She started that group, Moms for Liberty.
00:01:54.180 And then on the other side, you've got a group of parents who lean left who formed in reaction to the Moms for Liberty.
00:01:58.980 And they're called Families for Safe Schools.
00:02:00.800 Okay, welcome.
00:02:03.480 It is Wednesday, 24 August, the year of our Lord, 2022.
00:02:08.420 On this date in the year of our Lord, 410, the Visigoths seized and sacked Rome the first time that the barbarians had actually stormed the gate.
00:02:19.740 If you listen to the mainstream media this morning, they feel it's the same sort of storming as the Moms for Liberty and other concerned mothers, Moms for America, other concerned parents' rights groups stormed the bastion of public education yesterday in the state of Florida and had sweeping victories.
00:02:35.700 Ron DeSantis, I think, had endorsed 29 of the candidates, but many more than that one.
00:02:40.280 Absolutely incredible.
00:02:41.260 And we've been, I think I've been talking about this since the first time was that the turnaround in our country was going to start through the school boards with the Moms back, I think it was in May of 2021, when Fauci started talking about additional mask mandates for the schools starting in the fall and additional, you know, starting to vaccinate the kids.
00:03:00.380 Let's start with Tiffany Justice, Moms for Liberty.
00:03:03.520 Tiffany, just put it in perspective, walk the nation through exactly what happened last night on the scale of it in Florida.
00:03:11.260 Yeah, so what you've seen happen across the country is that parents have politely appealed to school boards, right?
00:03:18.120 Throughout COVID, they have sent emails, they were ignored.
00:03:21.980 And then they went and spoke at school board meetings, and they were ignored.
00:03:25.180 And so what you're seeing is now parents reclaiming public education in America.
00:03:29.220 We have run for school board and many, many candidates last night in Florida won.
00:03:34.160 So we had 43 candidates out of 65 that were supported that went on, that are going on, that either won or will be in runoffs, 14 going to runoffs in the general election.
00:03:47.520 And we have boards that now have a majority of school board members that will stand for parental rights.
00:03:54.000 And I'm just taking a look at my notes because I want to make sure I get this correct.
00:03:57.420 So Brevard County, Sarasota County, Duval County, Clay County, Miami-Dade County, which is one of the largest school districts in the country, flipped to have parental rights candidates running and controlling that school board.
00:04:10.440 And I say that to be clear.
00:04:12.620 This is a message to every elected official in America.
00:04:16.480 Parents are concerned about our children.
00:04:18.960 We're concerned that our children are not learning to read in school, and now we are going to be on these boards helping to direct policies and budgets in these school districts so that we can ensure that children are being given the skills that they need to unfold their full potential.
00:04:34.220 Okay.
00:04:34.740 I just want to go back in time and make sure we put the perspective because I said that this is the beginning of the turnaround of the country.
00:04:41.560 And it's really – it's to a large extent almost nonpartisan, right?
00:04:45.460 It's just – it's parental rights movement is something that's really driven by parents that are just concerned.
00:04:51.840 I want to just go back.
00:04:53.700 When this started, first off, it did come from the CCP COVID virus when parents started seeing what was taught by their children in school.
00:05:02.840 And then it was CRT.
00:05:04.360 It was the mask mandates, all that.
00:05:06.860 You guys then started to actually attend school board meetings, and you were not embraced.
00:05:11.460 So go through that history because this is not like something that – the moms are busy enough, right?
00:05:17.180 A lot of them have jobs.
00:05:18.860 Even the ones that are principally homemakers are obviously busy with everything they're doing.
00:05:23.400 You guys weren't looking for another gig, right?
00:05:26.440 Walk us through the history of this that led to, quite frankly, stunning victories yesterday.
00:05:32.600 And your point about essentially taking over the school boards of some of the biggest school districts in this nation.
00:05:38.560 Ma'am.
00:05:38.940 So in 2016, I ran for school board.
00:05:42.480 Tina Deskovich ran for school board in Brevard County.
00:05:44.960 We didn't know each other then.
00:05:46.380 But we both ran for the same reason.
00:05:48.180 We had gotten involved in our children's schools through volunteering, and we saw some things that were concerning.
00:05:52.440 And we said, well, you know, maybe we could make a difference getting elected to these boards.
00:05:55.940 So we both served from 2016 to 2020.
00:05:58.480 You are absolutely right.
00:06:00.300 COVID – I say we make COVID lemonade.
00:06:03.680 There were horrible things that happened because of COVID across this country and across the world.
00:06:08.540 But one of the things that came out of COVID was parents really reengaging in their kids' education, seeing that there were bureaucrats and politicians that were making decisions that they did not believe were in the best interest of their children, like forced quarantining of healthy kids, like forced masking.
00:06:23.980 And then parents got to see behind the education curtain, like Tina and I had as school board members.
00:06:30.640 They saw what their kids were learning or not learning, and they got very, very concerned.
00:06:35.460 As you said, they went to school board.
00:06:37.840 They went and spoke.
00:06:39.140 They sent emails.
00:06:40.060 And so people will ask me, you know, what was it that really ignited parents' concern?
00:06:44.840 All of the things made them worried.
00:06:46.420 But the biggest thing was going to elected officials into these school board bodies and then being ignored, having mics cut off and parents saying, wait a second.
00:06:54.500 We're talking about the most important thing in my life, my child.
00:06:58.100 And I'm telling you that I'm concerned about some things that are happening with them, and you're ignoring me?
00:07:03.320 You're telling me that I don't have a say in my children's education like Terry McAuliffe did in Virginia?
00:07:08.800 And that was a real wake-up call for parents.
00:07:11.100 So we like to say at Moms for Liberty, we're just getting started.
00:07:15.260 Florida is just the beginning of what you're going to see Moms for Liberty do across the United States, working with lots of other groups as well.
00:07:24.660 1776 PAC came in and helped with supporting candidates that we had endorsed, and they've done that across the country, and we're going to work with them.
00:07:32.240 And, you know, Governor Ron DeSantis really showing the way for elected officials going forward, saying school board is important.
00:07:39.220 And then the thing that I think everyone has to realize is this.
00:07:42.360 You know, Tina and I got on school board.
00:07:43.820 You get in the school board, and you realize, you know, you can do this.
00:07:48.400 You can get involved in elected office, and you can make a difference.
00:07:51.700 And so what I think you're going to see is a ripple effect, Steve.
00:07:54.520 You're going to see people getting onto school boards.
00:07:56.880 So now 43 candidates in Florida.
00:07:58.920 We're so excited.
00:08:00.300 But who knows what the potential for that is.
00:08:02.240 And really setting, you know, the track for the nation.
00:08:06.180 Florida has led in so many ways throughout COVID.
00:08:08.700 And I think this is just one more way that Florida will continue leading, showing the difference that you can make in public education when moms and dads and concerned community members get involved and get elected.
00:08:19.940 No, I absolutely agree.
00:08:21.180 I think you're seeing future congressional Senate governors, lieutenant governors, all of it.
00:08:27.840 It's like, Tiffany, I want to ask you to hold and just stick with us.
00:08:31.620 We're going to start bringing some moms in.
00:08:33.520 Let's go to Bridget Ziegler.
00:08:36.900 We had Bridget on.
00:08:38.800 Bridget, in fact, I think at the beginning of the week or over the weekend, you were down, you calculated you were down 3,000 or 4,000 potential votes.
00:08:46.880 You were kind of a come from behind.
00:08:48.500 Walk through your race so the nation understands it.
00:08:51.600 And most importantly, I think the entire Sarasota board flipped, which is incredible.
00:08:56.280 So talk to us about what happened.
00:08:59.320 Waving.
00:08:59.760 I was just waving at the girl.
00:09:01.060 We had Tiffany and April there.
00:09:03.380 So we're all kind of in this fight together.
00:09:05.660 So it's awesome.
00:09:06.580 Again, thanks for having me.
00:09:07.660 Well, first, I want to also thank I want to thank Governor DeSantis for highlighting how important school board elections are.
00:09:13.620 And I know Tiffany mentioned that, you know, he obviously has his education agenda and but realize that local school boards make it are pivotal.
00:09:21.580 And being able to implement that agenda and we need school board parents that are school board members who are focused on being parents and doing their job.
00:09:29.720 But a lot of people are asleep at the wheel sometimes.
00:09:31.900 And even though it's been covered over the last year and a half, a lot of people didn't know August 23rd yesterday was school board election day in Florida.
00:09:38.560 So, Steve, thank you for giving a shout out to your listeners.
00:09:41.860 We had a huge surge on election day.
00:09:44.320 Now, we know that Democrats are typically strong vote by mail.
00:09:48.120 Republicans typically like to vote day of.
00:09:50.580 We had a pretty strong showing in early voting, but still were behind about, as you said, two or three thousand.
00:09:58.380 And on election day, we had we outperformed a three to one when it came to Democrats or Republicans.
00:10:04.960 And I think it's a testament to Governor DeSantis shining a light on it.
00:10:09.600 I think it's a testament to organizations like Moms for Liberty, 1776 project.
00:10:14.500 And even you, Steve, for highlighting and telling people to get out and vote, because we know people are aware and we know that parents rose up.
00:10:22.760 And again, I cannot I cannot speak enough about that is that this was just an amazing moment for our republic.
00:10:29.180 This shows that the grassroots is where the power is and that should be where the power is and that everyone needs to.
00:10:36.820 You know, there is a massive rejection of the woke ideology.
00:10:40.380 People are tired of their kids being exploited for anyone's political, the left's political agenda.
00:10:45.560 And parents rose up. And I'm proud to be a part of that.
00:10:48.760 I'm proud to continue to serve in this aspect. And as Tiffany mentioned, there's a lot of school board members who are elected recently.
00:10:55.460 I've been at this for a while and we're here to help them because I can tell you, as someone who served as a minority on my board for two terms,
00:11:02.900 but refused to be captured and drink the Kool-Aid and hold the line.
00:11:07.720 I know where a lot of these new school board members are going to be and how they're going to be feeling and some of those challenges.
00:11:12.820 And so I'll be there working with them in coordination with the Leadership Institute to help train them and help them be strong conservatives that they promised they would be when they ran for election.
00:11:22.000 So to help them transfer from campaign to governing as a conservative.
00:11:27.060 Now, this is a earthquake yesterday. I mean, particularly given the how vibrant Florida is, the economy, the demographics.
00:11:36.120 It's, you know, I keep saying Miami is the is the one city in the country that this exploding major world city that's not encumbered with all the problems we've got of all the big cities in the in the northeast that are controlled by these democratic machines.
00:11:50.720 Florida is right there at the cutting edge of what's happening in the world.
00:11:55.400 And this is a populist. You know, Ryan Gerderski and the guys over the 1776 pack.
00:11:59.620 I mean, Ryan is a very focused populist. I think that's why I came in.
00:12:02.460 This is populism at work.
00:12:03.800 This is and this is going to be a model for the entire nation.
00:12:08.560 Every mom out there, every dad out there.
00:12:10.840 This is also to show that the opposition is pretty smart.
00:12:14.540 When when when the Justice Department started talking about domestic terrorists, they knew they had to stop this.
00:12:20.740 They had to they had to kill this in the crib that if this caught on and all of a sudden they started getting some victories, they would they would the momentum would absolutely unravel.
00:12:30.380 And this is what it is. The bet the best control is local control.
00:12:34.800 Hang on for one second. Once you hang on. Also, let me bring in April.
00:12:37.800 April, just to find can you define for the country?
00:12:40.680 People are just coming into this story now.
00:12:42.740 And I know you guys have been at it for a year and a half or longer.
00:12:45.300 What what are what are parental rights?
00:12:47.200 What what are parental rights and why are you guys fighting for this concept called parental rights?
00:12:51.880 It's just having the ability as a parent to make your own choices for your children.
00:12:58.560 I mean, it's that simple. It's it shouldn't be such a hard thing to fight for.
00:13:03.980 We should be working in conjunction with public education.
00:13:06.800 The parents should have the ability to make decisions with our educators.
00:13:11.320 And so it's just it's gotten to the point now where they just decided to leave us out.
00:13:16.080 And I think that both sides of the aisle are tired of it.
00:13:19.620 I've been getting some emails from some registered Democrats who voted for me yesterday and just said thank you because we're tired of it, too.
00:13:27.080 This is my point. This is not a totally partisan thing.
00:13:31.320 There are a lot of tons of independents.
00:13:33.000 It's lots of the young can victory showed us and what happened and allowed up and loud in Fairfax County showed that they're they're moderate Democrats, even some liberal Democrats.
00:13:42.280 They're shocked about what the school boards have have done here.
00:13:46.200 I would like all four of you guys to stay through the break because I want to get I want to get all three of you.
00:13:52.200 I guess I'm the fourth. Right. And let me do the math here.
00:13:54.360 The mask gets a little complicated.
00:13:56.380 I want you guys to stay through because this is such an important story.
00:13:59.500 Look, there were major primaries yesterday in New York, Oklahoma and in Florida.
00:14:05.360 And we're going to have I think Brandon Williams is going to join us.
00:14:08.040 We're also going to have Anna Paulina Luna, another big, huge winner, just incredible.
00:14:14.460 Carl Palladino, I don't think, has thrown in the towel yet.
00:14:17.000 They're fighting up there in New York about that vote.
00:14:19.620 I think Loomer in Florida has not conceded yet.
00:14:23.220 They're going to fight that and contest that.
00:14:24.900 But a lot going on.
00:14:25.800 But the big story, the most important story in the nation this morning is that the moms have stood up.
00:14:31.620 The parents have sat in Florida and said, hey, no more.
00:14:34.660 And these are major school districts.
00:14:37.220 Miami-Dade, Sarasota, Broward.
00:14:41.140 I think Brevard.
00:14:42.460 We'll get to all of it.
00:14:43.800 Here's a thank you.
00:14:44.480 My Florida team, my Florida man just gave me the correct thing.
00:14:47.500 Hey, short commercial break.
00:14:48.860 Back with Tiffany Justice, Moms for Liberty, and some of the winners of the school board next in the world.
00:14:53.040 We will fight till they're all gone.
00:14:55.280 We rejoice when there's no more.
00:14:57.200 Let's take down the CCP.
00:14:59.820 You know what's never good?
00:15:01.540 When your nation's supposed authority on economic policy completely misses the flashing red lights of impending inflation.
00:15:10.360 Now, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has finally admitted, quote,
00:15:14.000 quote, there's been an unanticipated and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that affected our economy badly that I didn't at the time fully understand.
00:15:27.880 End quote.
00:15:28.740 You know who understands the real threat of inflation?

00:16:24.700 War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:28.380 The epidemic is a demon, and we cannot let this demon hide.
00:16:32.600 War Room Pandemic.
00:16:34.720 Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon.
00:16:39.240 Okay, MyPillow.com.
00:16:41.120 Remember, you're bundling them off to college right now.
00:16:44.880 Here's the deal.
00:16:46.120 You keep the soccer trophies at home, and you get them a pillow, a blanket, and some sheets, and they go to college.
00:16:51.660 Kit, the kids outright when they go to college.
00:16:54.460 Everybody's going back right now.
00:16:55.400 Make sure you go to MyPillow.com, promo code WARUM.
00:16:57.560 You got the buy one, get one free.
00:16:59.160 You got all the sales.
00:17:00.580 You got what used to be sold on Walmart.
00:17:02.400 It ain't sold there anymore because they don't like the Moment of Truth Summit and other political things that Mike Lindell are doing to save his country.
00:17:09.740 So go check it out today.
00:17:11.160 Make sure you support the armor-piercing shell that is Mike Lindell.
00:17:15.500 We're going to have more.
00:17:16.620 The Constitutional Sheriffs.
00:17:17.880 We're going to have one of the Constitutional Sheriffs on in the second hour of the show.
00:17:21.880 Absolutely an amazing group.
00:17:23.100 And if you think you're jacked up right now with the Moms for Liberty and these moms are taking over the school boards, you'll be just as jacked up with the Constitutional Sheriffs, which is another local grassroots at the deck plates.
00:17:34.500 This is what populism is.
00:17:36.080 This is participatory populism.
00:17:37.740 This is what taking the country over an institution at a time.
00:17:42.140 And so the mainstream media is going to totally melt down.
00:17:44.480 Remember, these are all domestic terrorists because what they do, they solve what their children are being taught.
00:17:48.580 And they had a simple question.
00:17:49.560 Hey, we'd like our schools to be number one in the world to teaching reading, rhetoric, English, math, algebra, calculus, all of it.
00:18:01.200 So our kids can have a shot to compete in a very tough and competitive world.
00:18:07.200 If you're going to compete against China, if you're going to compete against India, if you're going to compete against Germany and France and these nations and all the emerging nations that are coming up, their kids are very focused on education.
00:18:20.140 We have to be the best educated.
00:18:21.480 And what they did, they kind of looked and saw what was being taught.
00:18:24.180 And they said, we don't think this is the appropriate spending of our time and resources.
00:18:28.640 And we don't want this.
00:18:29.680 We don't want our children indoctrinated.
00:18:31.240 We want our children to become, have the apparatus to think on their own and think critically.
00:18:35.920 And that's how they got engaged.
00:18:37.200 And how were they met?
00:18:38.440 They were rejected at the school boards.
00:18:39.980 They were said, no, cut your mics off.
00:18:41.700 And then, of course, Merrick Garland in the Justice Department with the FBI started looking at, oh, we got a problem here.
00:18:47.440 These people could be domestic terrorists.
00:18:49.000 We know what they did.
00:18:49.760 They didn't curl up in the fetal position and say, oh, they're saying terrible things about us.
00:18:54.380 Maybe we'll just go back and let our kids be indoctrinated.
00:18:56.580 They said, hey, how about this?
00:18:58.300 How about we run for school board and we take your job?
00:19:02.220 And that's what happened yesterday.
00:19:03.360 This is kind of a shot heard around the world.
00:19:06.660 This is a little bit of Concord Bridge.
00:19:10.020 Tiffany, let me go back to April.
00:19:11.520 April, tell people about your journey.
00:19:13.020 How did you end up here on the show as a winner?
00:19:16.360 Where did you start in this process?
00:19:18.240 And how tough was the fight?
00:19:21.060 I mean, it's all about my own children.
00:19:22.840 You know, I've always been involved in the classroom.
00:19:26.020 I've always volunteered with teachers in the classroom for my children's education.
00:19:31.260 And I have a child that's got ADHD and has a learning plan.
00:19:34.680 And so we always had to advocate for her.
00:19:36.880 But it wasn't until my youngest child, who never struggled in school, was suddenly having issues after we opened back up after COVID.
00:19:43.640 And she just had a lot of problems with the masking and the social distancing.
00:19:47.840 And it was affecting her learning because her glasses were fogging off and she couldn't hear the teachers with the mask.
00:19:53.980 And I mean, it was affecting her mostly on a social level because the kids were segregated all the time.
00:19:59.520 And, you know, when you see your child hurting and not acting like her joyful self anymore, you want to do something about it.
00:20:08.840 And that's when I started attending school board meetings.
00:20:11.400 I had always watched them online and paid attention to the results of policymaking and such, but had never actually gone down there and spoken.
00:20:18.020 And I realized after my three minutes were up when I got a bunch of blank stares that really they didn't seem to care for maybe one or two of the board members what I had to say.
00:20:31.000 And after that day, I got repeated phone calls from friends of mine who also had children in the public education system saying, you know, April, have you ever thought about running for school board?
00:20:44.680 And of course, you know, I was like, no.
00:20:48.020 But it was something that weighed on me for a long time.
00:20:50.460 I'm a small business owner.
00:20:51.620 You know, I work for myself.
00:20:52.940 I'm dedicated to my family.
00:20:55.140 And I didn't need to do this for any other reason than to make sure that our city is taking care of our children.
00:21:01.700 And right now, I feel like we've completely dropped the ball.
00:21:04.780 And it's ironic, actually, that one year ago yesterday was the school board emergency meeting where my opponent decided to defy Governor DeSantis' executive order and continue to mask our children.
00:21:19.320 And so yesterday, it was a sweet day for us because I think parents realize that we can no longer have these, you know, union funded school board members making decisions for our children.
00:21:32.760 We have to come in at the grassroots level as parents and fight and advocate for our kids because at the end of the day, they are the future of our community.
00:21:42.540 And we have to take care of our kids.
00:21:45.540 I've taken a lot of arrows.
00:21:48.000 My opponent came at me hard.
00:21:50.260 She didn't run on her record.
00:21:51.780 She ran solely on attacking me for being a domestic terrorist.
00:21:55.860 So I'm so grateful for Governor DeSantis and my campaign and everyone that worked so hard, our volunteers.
00:22:05.420 We knocked a lot of doors and spoke to a lot of people and hit a lot of, I mean, just hit the ground running.
00:22:12.860 And I can't, I'm so incredibly overwhelmed and humbled by the amount of parents and, you know, citizens that have just had their faith in me.
00:22:20.600 And we were able to prevail yesterday.
00:22:22.720 Really exciting.
00:22:23.420 I want to go to, uh, to, uh, Bridget for a second, by the way, on MSNBC and CNN, we do these clips all day long.
00:22:30.940 It's anti-democracy.
00:22:32.120 These people are anti-democracy.
00:22:33.840 This is democracy knocking on the doors, meeting your constituents, your other parents, and getting to come out and to vote in, in what has normally been something nobody ever focused on.
00:22:43.320 Remember, this is not a down ticket race.
00:22:45.100 This is a race nobody ever thought of.
00:22:47.320 It was these moms that made this, uh, a thing, right?
00:22:51.960 Because they weren't going to tolerate it anymore.
00:22:53.940 Let's go, uh, Bridget, tell me how tough it is when you, when you talk about they're coming at you, you're just a mom, you got kids.
00:23:00.600 Next thing you know, you're in the political process.
00:23:02.660 You got to get it, you got to organize.
00:23:04.060 And if you, it's come from behind, it's not going to be the old Democrat stay at home, mail in ballot.
00:23:08.800 But I've got to get conservatives or people that are game day voters and they got to get out and they got to, they, they got to make sure they vote.
00:23:16.780 Walk us through how tough that process is.
00:23:19.400 You know, it's tough, but you know, something I think all three of us had a good comment is that fire in your belly when it's, what's your why?
00:23:25.600 And especially if it's your kids, I mean, you're going to figure out a way to do it, but you do have to have that strategy.
00:23:29.860 And one thing I think is really important for anyone considering to run, don't be shy about hitting these issues head on.
00:23:36.120 So often you see people who run and they want to play in the middle.
00:23:39.140 They don't want to offend anyone.
00:23:40.260 No, these are common sense issues.
00:23:42.280 And I think that is what you see the common denominator about the winners last night were people who are willing to take on these issues, not be fearful of what the left's going to throw at you because they throw all these names because they can't win on issues.
00:23:55.320 As April said, I mean, my opponent, and that's probably the same for everyone.
00:23:58.240 And their whole plan was defeat Ziegler for me, you know, anything.
00:24:02.760 So they're not running for anything.
00:24:04.180 They're running against us.
00:24:05.460 And so we're, and we're running for our children and we're running for our community and for our country.
00:24:09.240 And so when it comes down to it, I think it's really important people be direct and go knock on doors to have those meet and greets.
00:24:15.740 But you've got to watch those numbers.
00:24:17.660 You need to know the math behind it.
00:24:19.660 You know, if you're a single member or countywide, these are nonpartisan races and you can get a sense of where, where you need to be.
00:24:26.900 I mean, there are political consultants out there as well that help, but ultimately it's as many people as you can get in front of getting your team in place.
00:24:34.220 Like I said, those knocking on doors and having those living room meet and greets because the media does you no favors.
00:24:39.000 So raising money to be able to get your message out is very important to counter the narrative that the left and the media all work in cahoots together.
00:24:48.120 I've never seen the level of orchestration.
00:24:50.540 This is my third race.
00:24:51.440 I've never seen the level of orchestration like I did this past round when it came to the press, you know, the, the elite money, the foundations and the, um, and the, the, the union slash democratic party is pretty remarkable.
00:25:05.400 Um, but I think, hang on, talk about, hang on, talk about that for a second, that the, the big foundations are all come from the elites, the sources, all these elite foundations, the Ford family, all that in cahoots with the big unions, the teachers unions and the, uh, in the local media, they're all working in concert.
00:25:22.520 And they're all working in concert to designate whether it's you, April, Tiffany, whoever it is, whatever mom, it is that you're essentially a, you're a whack job.
00:25:31.600 You're dangerous.
00:25:32.620 You've got dangerous ideas and you're just, you're just this side of a domestic terrorist.
00:25:36.380 Is that, is that what they try to do?
00:25:38.620 Absolutely.
00:25:39.180 And when I think, and this is a playbook, as I talk about, it happens in a lot of different areas.
00:25:43.020 And, um, what we found, it was pretty surprising at first because you think about your foundations.
00:25:48.620 Oh, they're wonderful.
00:25:49.280 They're nonprofits.
00:25:49.980 They help support.
00:25:50.580 Well, they also help support a substantial amount of programs inside the school district.
00:25:55.100 And so when you see us pushing back on the woke ideology, which is permeating our school districts, a lot of things actually are, end up, these are programs, these foundations are pushing and they realize that they're at risk.
00:26:05.400 And so it's important for people to understand you have these elite multimillion dollar people that are, you know, select few that they don't, they, they are not elected.
00:26:14.840 They're not even in the districts.
00:26:16.580 They're not even in the system.
00:26:17.460 Um, the districts over leveraged from the money that they accept there and they're kingmakers.
00:26:21.220 And, um, and they work in cahoots with the local media and you would have op-eds, advertisements, and, um, articles all in one, just slid down together.
00:26:31.020 And it's not by coincidence.
00:26:32.780 And so that's what I'm saying.
00:26:34.460 You're up against this, but the people, folks, the people have had it.
00:26:38.560 And, and as Tiffany mentioned, and, and you, uh, this is not partisan.
00:26:42.320 This is common sense.
00:26:43.360 That's why I implore anyone who's talking or thinking about doing this.
00:26:45.980 Do step up and do be direct.
00:26:48.140 Don't be afraid of hitting these issues like straight on because the left, the center and the right, they don't want this for our children.
00:26:56.060 They do not want this in our, in our schools.
00:26:58.780 They do not want this to be the future.
00:27:00.640 They see where things are going and they're ready to, they're ready to rise up.
00:27:03.960 And this was a, this was a referendum on all the woke elite few that think that they can tell us what we need to think and who we are or, or subset us into some, you know, various categories.
00:27:16.320 Um, that's not what this country is about.
00:27:18.060 The future, the future of this nation was started to decide it last night.
00:27:22.700 This is Concord Bridge.
00:27:24.480 This is Concord Bridge.
00:27:25.800 I want to hang on for a second.
00:27:27.780 I also want to keep you guys through the, into the next, uh, uh, block.
00:27:31.140 I also want to say that the Tiffany justice, the Tina's, these women are open.
00:27:36.700 This is their playbook.
00:27:38.680 We now have the counter playbook.
00:27:40.320 You don't have to get steamrolled by Soros.
00:27:43.960 There, uh, there, there are people out there.
00:27:46.200 You're not alone.
00:27:47.680 This is an uprising that you're going to have some of the smartest, toughest women in this country that have your back, no matter what state you're in, no matter what county you're in, no matter if you're in a big city, you're in New York or Chicago.
00:27:59.900 Hey, you've got help is here.

00:29:47.700 War Room Pandemic with Stephen K.
00:29:50.680 Bannon.
00:29:51.320 The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide.
00:29:55.200 War Room Pandemic.
00:29:57.200 Here's your host, Stephen K.
00:29:59.340 Bannon.
00:29:59.620 Okay, the woke left and the administrative state have awakened a sleeping giant, the parents of this nation.
00:30:08.720 The concept's called parental rights and where you see it fought out is at school boards throughout this nation.
00:30:13.820 And last night, an epic, epic earthquake in the state of Florida, one of the most vibrant states in this union,
00:30:21.220 and quite frankly, one of the most vibrant places in the world.
00:30:25.380 Parents stood up and said no more.
00:30:26.960 And these parents were hit with an onslaught of negative ads and really to single them out as people that are not just qualified but dangerous.
00:30:37.980 And this is what I keep saying, that courage is the most important of all the virtues because it's upon courage that all the other virtues rest.
00:30:46.100 And you see from all of these candidates, even the ones that lost.
00:30:49.100 Remember, the ones that lost is just their first shot.
00:30:51.660 You're going to see some of the people we had on here that did lose, you're going to see their names up again at school boards and beyond.
00:30:57.780 And I can tell you right now, just like I said in April of 21 or May of 21, that this was going to be absolutely the most important political movement that's going to drive things.
00:31:07.800 You're going to see the farm team is going to be built.
00:31:10.260 These names you're going to start to see in every state.
00:31:12.100 Remember, we did Texas back in the spring, in Texas and in Florida and in Arizona and in Tennessee and all these states, these MAGA states.
00:31:19.420 And then you're going to see it in Chicago and New York and L.A.
00:31:22.280 You're going to start to see the next generation of political leaders are going to be honed.
00:31:26.020 They're honed in the toughest of all crucibles, that crucible where you've got to go knock on a door and look somebody in the eye and say, hey, you have to come out and vote for me.
00:31:34.160 And you're getting hit every day by ads.
00:31:36.740 You're getting hit by the source machine.
00:31:38.140 So I want to make sure everybody in the nation knows that these women are open to talk to you and to make sure that, you know, and you have the tools and you have the necessary training and you have the mindset for what it has to have for victory.
00:31:52.240 Let's go to Bridget.
00:31:52.940 Bridget, give your can you give your social media and how people can contact you if they're so interested and find out more about your victory and more about what you're going to do on the Sarasota School Board now that you guys are in control?
00:32:04.660 Absolutely. You can follow me on Twitter at Bridget A. Ziegler and that's C-I-E-G-L-E-R.
00:32:11.000 And same with Facebook. It's Bridget A. Ziegler, C-I-E-G-L-E-R.
00:32:15.160 I love to hear and help people however I can.
00:32:17.840 Like I said, I've been at this a long time and these are huge.
00:32:20.980 These are huge wins and we will continue to see that ripple effect.
00:32:25.540 So reach out, follow the stories.
00:32:27.580 What happens in Sarasota, like I said, there's a playbook and we have that counter playbook.
00:32:31.480 What happens in Sarasota happens across the state and a country.
00:32:34.740 So look forward to helping.
00:32:36.840 Thank you very much.
00:32:37.940 April, can people get your also get your your contact so they can they can learn more about your story?
00:32:45.040 Absolutely.
00:32:45.720 On Facebook and Instagram, I'm April Arena Carney.
00:32:49.220 And then online, friendsofapril.com is a great place to go to get more information on me.
00:32:55.360 And people need to know, like anyone can do this.
00:32:58.580 This is my first go around and it's been an amazing experience.
00:33:01.680 And I think that if you've got that passion in your heart, that fire in your belly, like Bridget was saying, go ahead and take the plunge.
00:33:08.780 It's worth it.
00:33:09.420 Thank you very much, April.
00:33:12.640 Now, I gave this talk the other day.
00:33:14.100 It was on Benny Johnson's podcast.
00:33:16.180 I talked about commit.
00:33:17.100 Once you commit, your entire life will change.
00:33:19.620 And you'll see this.
00:33:20.500 These women, when you get to know their stories, once you commit down a line of work, you know, people come into your life.
00:33:26.460 Things will happen.
00:33:27.300 You'll get books and resources and it'll just change.
00:33:30.920 But you need to commit.
00:33:32.460 These women committed.
00:33:33.260 And it's not easy.
00:33:34.020 Trust me.
00:33:34.440 They're coming out to they don't run on policy.
00:33:37.680 They were not there debating their school board policy.
00:33:41.920 Right.
00:33:42.160 They were there to destroy them personally.
00:33:44.480 That's what takes courage.
00:33:46.020 You know, Mother Jones is a left wing magazine, but they're quite smart.
00:33:49.940 I think the cover of the lead story was how that these moms are becoming the new face of the Republican Party and the new face of a rising populist movement.
00:34:00.260 And they specifically talked about Moms for Liberty.
00:34:02.820 Tiffany, give us your thoughts about where where where does the parental rights go in Florida?
00:34:07.400 What happens to the school?
00:34:08.340 You you you flipped some massive school districts right there that are, quite frankly, as big as maybe even some of the our smaller state school districts like Miami-Dade.
00:34:18.000 Talk to us about where do you guys go from here?
00:34:21.700 Yeah, I think it's really interesting.
00:34:23.040 You mentioned Miami-Dade.
00:34:24.100 The superintendent of Miami-Dade, Alberto Carvalho, actually fled Florida and is now the superintendent out in L.A.
00:34:30.440 U.S.D.
00:34:31.100 My message to him is we're coming to California, too.
00:34:34.460 We believe there are we know at Moms for Liberty, there are 50 states and we know there are moms in all 50 states who care about their children and want to get involved in school board races.
00:34:43.280 And we're not ready to take any of those stars off the flag.
00:34:45.760 So it's time for Americans to stand up and fight for states, red states, blue states.
00:34:50.560 Again, as you said, Steve, these are not partisan issues.
00:34:53.620 A couple of things that I just want to say, you've done such a wonderful job.
00:34:57.220 And thank you for having so many different candidates running for school board on your show.
00:35:01.300 And we have some amazing moms like Allie Legge in Hillsborough who did not win last night.
00:35:05.920 And my message to anyone that runs for school board and doesn't win, sometimes that's the best thing that could happen.
00:35:11.440 It wasn't meant for you to win. And I thank God every day that Tina Deskovich, who co-founded Moms for Liberty, ran and lost her last race.
00:35:18.960 And people like Mother Jones and other media somehow think that that is an insult, that you ran and lost.
00:35:24.800 It takes a lot of bravery and courage to run.
00:35:27.380 And oftentimes this is just the starting point for the next thing that's going to happen in your life.
00:35:31.480 When you get that fire in your belly to make a difference in your community and you and I both know nobody's going to fight for kids like a mom is.
00:35:40.880 The other important thing that I want people to know, and this is why I've come on and I've asked for donations before for our Moms for Liberty political committee.
00:35:48.520 And Moms for Liberty has three packs that we're starting up across the country.
00:35:52.520 The American Federation of Teachers invested a lot of money into Florida school board races.
00:35:59.800 Just in Duval County, they put in one hundred and fifty thousand dollars into two different packs there.
00:36:04.600 So what the media and what the unions would like to do is try to shame us for being involved and getting involved in school boards.
00:36:11.360 They have had a lock on school boards and it's really been their political activism that they have invested in.
00:36:18.720 And they're mad right now because we know what they've been doing and we are getting involved.
00:36:24.020 So we will not be shamed out of politics.
00:36:25.860 We are going to take our rightful seat at the table.
00:36:28.380 And I do need everyone in America to understand it's important to invest in school board races so you can donate to Moms for Liberty.
00:36:35.080 Look for candidates that are running in your area and ask them how you can help them.
00:36:38.980 Oftentimes that is by donating to them and to their campaign.
00:36:44.600 And it does take money to win school board races and the unions know that and they definitely have invested a lot of money into these races.
00:36:52.880 I'm sure it is a very sad morning for Randy Weingarten, which makes me very, very happy.
00:36:58.440 No, no, no.
00:36:59.300 By the way, Allie Legg is one of the most impressive people we've interviewed in the show since we started War Room Repeachment.
00:37:05.120 I mean, the quality of people and for those that didn't win, hey, it's the first shot.
00:37:10.120 It's a process.
00:37:10.920 Trust the process.
00:37:11.820 You're building an incredible farm team of really taking over the country at a local level, not just school districts, canvassing boards, election boards, medical boards, the county supervisors.
00:37:24.180 This is populism.
00:37:25.760 This is what they're afraid of.
00:37:28.120 There's so much actually more afraid of this than they're afraid of Trump.
00:37:32.580 This is what they're really afraid of.
00:37:34.260 This petrifies them to the core.
00:37:35.800 And Randy Weingarten is a tough, tough hombre.
00:37:38.280 She's a tough hombre.
00:37:39.100 She's been through a few knife fights before.
00:37:41.240 She's looking this morning and saying, hey, what do we got here?
00:37:43.840 This is something we've never had to really deal with.
00:37:46.660 And that's why what's most important of this is not just how the turnaround in the schools and the school district.
00:37:53.720 You said later you're going to get into administrators and all that, but how this ignites and lights a match between Texas and Florida, how it ignites a map for the rest of the country, for all the moms throughout the country.
00:38:03.900 We can take over every school board in this nation.
00:38:07.340 There's not a there's not in.
00:38:09.340 And by the way, the ones that need to be taken over the most are in Chicago, in New York and in Los Angeles.
00:38:15.000 Those kids cannot be left behind and they're not going to be left behind because you're seeing something that's that's going to strike a chord.
00:38:21.220 This parental rights.
00:38:22.140 The parents in those cities want the rights just as much as everybody else.
00:38:25.360 They're just inundated with the Democratic apparatus that crushes them.
00:38:28.720 So, Tiffany, amazing job.
00:38:31.960 How do people get to your site and particularly social media?
00:38:35.080 How they find out more about you guys?
00:38:36.300 Yes, you can follow us at Moms4Liberty on Twitter, Moms4Liberty on Facebook.
00:38:43.280 You can find your local chapter.
00:38:45.140 Go to Moms4Liberty.org and click on the map.
00:38:48.360 You can find and see if you have a chapter in your area.
00:38:51.240 If you don't click to start one, you need 10 like minded people to work with you to start a chapter.
00:38:56.880 And I promise you the ripple effect this is going to have.
00:39:00.300 As I said, we had a number of different school boards that now have a majority of parental rights members, and that is going to make a huge difference.
00:39:09.260 You mentioned Chicago.
00:39:10.480 Steve, only 18 percent of kids in Chicago are reading proficiently or doing math on a grade level.
00:39:16.400 We're done with this in America.
00:39:18.700 It is time to reclaim public education and to offer education freedom to children across the country because kids matter and they deserve this opportunity.
00:39:27.340 And parents are going to make sure it happens.
00:39:28.800 I promise you that.
00:39:31.300 Tiffany, great job.
00:39:33.320 Now the work begins.
00:39:34.360 Thank you, ma'am.
00:39:35.560 Thank you.
00:39:37.400 Let me bring in Brother Cortez.
00:39:38.940 Cortez, we got Ukraine.
00:39:40.560 We got energy.
00:39:41.360 We got geopolitics.
00:39:42.780 We have capital markets.
00:39:44.320 We have economics and finance.
00:39:45.520 But I've got to start with this amazing victory last night in Florida, and she ended with your beloved hometown of Chicago.
00:39:55.420 The Concord Bridge shot heard around the world is coming out of Florida today.
00:39:59.200 It's the moms have risen up and said, hey, parental rights is here.
00:40:02.920 Steve Cortez.
00:40:03.600 Listen, this is populism at its very best.
00:40:06.600 It's participatory populism.
00:40:08.560 It's a groundswell.
00:40:09.600 It's one of the reasons, again, as much as we talk on the show, and I think correctly so, about how dire the conditions are in the United States right now, particularly the economy.
00:40:16.860 And I know we're going to get into some of those details.
00:40:19.240 One of the reasons that I'm incredibly optimistic, and it's not just being Pollyanna.
00:40:22.900 It's not just a fake optimism.
00:40:24.080 It's based on evidence.
00:40:25.200 It's based on reality.
00:40:26.720 This is a groundswell movement.
00:40:28.600 This patriotic populist movement is incredibly young.
00:40:32.200 It is broadening, and it is becoming a truly diverse coalition, not the way the left uses diversity, but it's becoming a truly diverse coalition and a combination of cultural conservatism with populist economic nationalism.
00:40:44.700 It's unbeatable.
00:40:45.820 And a big part of that, particularly on the cultural conservatism side, is protecting our children.
00:40:49.820 Because, make no mistake, the nihilist leftists don't care about educating our children.
00:40:54.900 They don't care about the three R's.
00:40:56.780 Children in my former hometown of Chicago are certainly not learning the three R's.
00:41:00.400 But they are, unfortunately, being indoctrinated with toxic secular humanism.
00:41:05.540 They are being sexualized at an incredibly early age.
00:41:08.620 This is the agenda of the left.
00:41:10.320 They've been pretty successful at it, sadly, in recent decades.
00:41:13.140 But the tide is turning.
00:41:14.160 It's turning dramatically, and it's moms at the forefront.
00:41:17.140 It's exciting.
00:41:17.860 Again, there are reasons we need to be real, and we need to be dispassionate about the situation of the country right now.
00:41:23.560 And it is dire.
00:41:24.620 But then we also need to have valid reasons to be hopeful, and the political trajectory of the country is changing.
00:41:31.340 And events like last night, what happened in Florida, Florida in so many ways, is really saving this country.
00:41:36.360 Florida saved this country from tyranny lockdown.
00:41:38.880 Now it might save this country from the educational monopoly abuse of our children.
00:41:43.240 I want to talk about my – people don't understand.
00:41:48.280 Let me repeat this.
00:41:49.140 Miami-Dade School Board has now flipped to conservative moms' parental rights.
00:41:54.280 I cannot emphasize enough how massive that is, Steve.
00:42:00.340 With everything that's going on, particularly the Hispanic community, which values the family, family values, education about how you get forward.
00:42:07.540 It epitomizes everything we're fighting for, from the rear grand balance to the box.
00:42:12.000 Cortez has been on this.
00:42:13.020 Cortez, tell us how big a deal this is.
00:42:14.880 We can't write off any geography in this country.
00:42:17.280 Number one, it's just the wrong thing to do because we need to protect all Americans no matter where they live.
00:42:21.120 But number two, if you look right now at what's happening in this country, your point about Miami-Dade, about a major metro area that historically has been dependably Democrat, where the radicals have so overplayed their hands that they have forced people into our camp.
00:42:35.720 In addition to that, the GOP has transformed.
00:42:38.180 It's no longer a party of corporatists and executives and country clubs.
00:42:41.980 It is a party now of patriotic populism.
00:42:44.340 And so that combination of our attraction, our attractiveness to those folks, combined with the radicalism of the Democrats pushing people away, that creates opportunity all over the country in places where Republicans didn't think they could compete before.
00:42:57.840 I'll give you another example.
00:42:59.000 Let's go much further north from there to the state of Michigan.
00:43:01.660 I believe that Tudor Dixon represents exactly the kind of candidate who can beat Gretchen Whitmer.
00:43:07.160 Gretchen Whitmer, in many ways, was the antithesis of Ron DeSantis, particularly regarding the lockdowns.
00:43:12.460 She's vulnerable in a state that used to be considered a layup for the Democrats.
00:43:16.920 Big time.
00:43:17.580 It kind of epitomizes the parental rights of mom who's taken to the school board.
00:43:22.240 Okay, short break.
00:43:23.540 We're going to go to the Ukraine.
00:43:24.920 We're going to talk natural gas, explosive costs.
00:43:28.200 Steve Cortez has got a lot to go.
00:43:30.040 Dave Walsh.
00:43:31.140 We've got Ben Harnwell, Peter Navarro.
00:43:33.080 All of it.
00:43:34.720 Geopolitics, energy, cost, your life, and the countries.
00:43:38.540 Next, in the war room.
00:43:42.460 We rejoice when there's no more.
00:43:44.400 Let's take down the CCP.
00:43:47.460 In Joe Biden's America, criminals are exalted and the police are condemned.

00:45:29.440 Today marks six months since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
00:45:33.420 The Biden administration expected to announce a new $3 billion security assistance package later today.
00:45:39.900 It is the largest aid package yet to Ukraine and being prepared to coincide with the country's Independence Day.
00:45:46.380 It will include drones, air defense systems, and other weapons with advanced capabilities.
00:45:50.800 Officials say the new funding is aimed largely at helping Ukraine to secure its medium and long-term defense.
00:45:57.280 Okay, welcome back.
00:45:59.840 It is the 24th of August, year of our Lord, 2022.
00:46:03.740 As you said, top of the show in the year 410.
00:46:05.880 This is the day of the Visigoths visit to Rome, to sack Rome, the first time that the barbarians had gotten inside the gates.
00:46:14.160 Also today, remember, Ben Harnwell's here.
00:46:16.680 Ben, you've got about nine stories you're going to tie together to make sense of Ukraine,
00:46:20.160 because this kind of underpins where the Biden's focus is, not on the energy crisis here.
00:46:25.940 We've got Dave Walsh coming up, Steve Cortez walking through a $3 billion commitment.
00:46:30.320 Correct me if I'm wrong.
00:46:31.160 Europe's made no new commitments.
00:46:32.800 This is the sixth anniversary.
00:46:34.880 And ladies and gentlemen, just to be brutally frank, we've nailed this from the very first second of this.
00:46:40.160 Okay?
00:46:40.500 It's all come to pass, exactly like we said it's going to come to pass.
00:46:43.600 And we now have a, this illegitimate Biden regime is an escalatory power that continues to push and push a kinetic conflict over there.
00:46:54.980 They don't want to negotiate.
00:46:56.580 They don't want to make, have any kind of peace accord.
00:46:59.560 They want to, the charnel house of the deaths of innocent Ukrainian women and children and other civilians are because of this illegitimate regime in Washington, D.C.
00:47:10.560 that continued to push this.
00:47:12.200 Another $3 billion aid package.
00:47:14.620 Was there an aid package announced on the southern border where you see a cartel war breaking out on the southern border of the United States from the suburbs of San Diego to Yuma to El Paso, Texas, and all the way down the rear Grand Valley?
00:47:26.980 No, you do not.
00:47:28.120 Ben Harnwell, get us up today on the sixth month anniversary of the Ukraine war, sir.
00:47:34.860 Yep.
00:47:35.380 Happy anniversary, Steve.
00:47:36.940 So I'm going to start off today with an article in the Daily Telegraph, London's Daily Telegraph, which is a pretty important center-right broadsheet.
00:47:45.840 The headline is, EU feared to be losing the will to back Ukraine.
00:47:50.940 And the story here is that the recognition, because there are two pivots going on right now, Steve.
00:47:58.880 The first pivot is in terms of the mainstream media, which is starting to recognize and take control of the fact that people are losing interest.
00:48:08.760 They're moving on.
00:48:09.540 They're getting upset that the cost of their sacrifices is increasingly disrupting their lives, their family lives, their ability to put food on the table.
00:48:19.880 They're looking to winter and fearing their ability even to heat their homes and having to make that dreadful choice between food or heating.
00:48:27.220 So that's the first pivot now, which is the mainstream media taking control of that with the recognition of it and the consequences of that.
00:48:33.860 The second pivot, which I'm going to highlight as I go through some of these stories, which I've selected out for you today, is the fact that everyone now is talking about bedding down in Ukraine and being in there for the long haul.
00:48:46.900 And I'm going to flag up every one of those recognitions.
00:48:50.740 So for this story in The Telegraph, this is the recognition that European support, and I quote, European support for Ukraine's battle against Russia could dry up amid the cost of living crisis.
00:49:05.340 The Daily Telegraph has learned that UK diplomats have been traveling to the European capitals to make the case against cutting aid to Kiev.
00:49:14.920 So what's the buried lead there?
00:49:17.260 That European capitals are starting to murmur, like the Jews in the desert in the Old Testament.
00:49:25.920 They're starting to murmur and grumble.
00:49:29.000 And Britain is now coming in behind the scenes to try to stop that, to fight back.
00:49:37.120 Here is the acknowledgement from Joseph Borrell, who's the EU's top foreign diplomat.
00:49:44.720 He was actually president of the European Parliament when I worked there.
00:49:47.880 And he's saying that European support could fracture in coming months.
00:49:54.640 And he said that, he said this yesterday, this is fresh news, that keeping the bloc together was a day-to-day struggle.
00:50:02.080 Now, in the same article, here's Emmanuel Macron, the French president, who said yesterday that Paris would support Ukraine, and I quote, for the long term.
00:50:14.440 He has warned citizens, the French citizens, that rising inflation and food prices are, and I quote, the cost of freedom.
00:50:23.020 Incidentally, the Telegraph doesn't report this, but in another speech he gave today, Macron said that France faces the end of abundance.
00:50:33.560 So that is a frank admission, at least on behalf of one of the major European powers of what's to come.
00:50:40.140 No signal, no honesty, however, is to be observed on that score on the American front.
00:50:45.640 So, moving on from that story, I'm just going to mention what the situation here is in the UK.
00:50:54.000 If Denver members could kindly play the second article I have here.
00:50:59.180 Here is what Boris Johnson, the British Prime Minister, has said.
00:51:03.200 He said, in the face of Putin's assault, we must continue to give our Ukrainian friends, and I quote,
00:51:09.940 all the military, humanitarian, economic, and diplomatic support they need.
00:51:15.900 Here's Britain, once again, again an outgoing Prime Minister, who's lost the support of his party,
00:51:22.640 after just a couple of years ago having a landslide election, pledging Britain's interest here in Ukraine for the long term.
00:51:32.200 As an ancillary to that, I'm just going to mention very briefly a story that we covered yesterday,
00:51:37.620 which is to do with the $3 billion pledged by President Biden.
00:51:45.680 Interestingly, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said yesterday that winter is coming and it will be hard,
00:51:52.780 and what we see now is a grinding war of attrition.
00:51:56.320 We must sustain our support for Ukraine for the long term,
00:52:02.060 so that Ukraine prevails as a sovereign, independent nation.
00:52:05.540 And that's obviously allied to the $3 billion.
00:52:11.440 Ben, just hang on for a second.
00:52:13.600 We'll take a break.
00:52:14.140 We've got Dave Walsh on energy.
00:52:15.580 We've got Steve Cortez at Tato together with economics.
00:52:18.400 Navarro's going to join us.
00:52:20.140 You know, it's interesting.
00:52:21.840 I don't remember Macron's platform back in May when he was running that France's met the end of abundance.
00:52:29.080 You see how these guys are?
00:52:30.940 We're now at the end of abundance because we're shoveling it into Ukraine to protect their sovereignty,
00:52:36.760 to protect their territorial integrity, to protect their self-determination.
00:52:40.700 Tell that to folks down on the rear Grand Valley.
00:52:42.840 Tell it to them in El Paso, Texas.
00:52:44.860 Tell them in San Diego, California, where the cartel wars are now exploding.
00:52:48.420 Where's that 3B?
00:52:50.500 All next in the war room.
00:52:54.320 We will fight till they're all gone.
00:52:56.520 We rejoice when there's no more.
00:52:58.420 Let's take down the CCP.
00:53:00.760 Folks, let me tell you about Salty.
00:53:02.620 It's a company that makes a soft gel supplement rich in antioxidants to help people like you and me keep a healthy heart.

00:53:18.140 Yes, heart disease is the number one killer every year, year in and year out.
00:53:21.960 Heart disease builds over time.
