Bannon's War Room - Episode 2470： The Debate From Dana Point; Joe Kent Live

00:00:00.000 Okay, you're watching Real America's Voice, live coverage of the RNC debate out in Dana Point, California.

00:00:08.300 Stephen K. Bannon, War Room. We're going to let you guys watch it. Joe Kenner and I will be here afterwards.

00:00:12.020 ...to the victims down there, and we went through a Hispanic community. They had lost everything.

00:00:15.980 It was like going through a river. The road was here, and two dikes on each side of all their physical possessions out there.

00:00:22.400 And we were talking, we even had an interpreter, and they were, they weren't, every one of them was talking about,

00:00:28.420 have we lost our freedoms? They were afraid of losing our country, all of them.

00:00:33.280 And they're going, and they were all going to, you know, they understood that this all manifested,

00:00:39.880 their freedoms being taken from what's in power right now.

00:00:42.780 And here's people that had lost all their physical possessions, but they're worried about the American dream.

00:00:48.860 They're worried about, they know they can get those back if we still have our freedoms and the right people are in charge of our politics.

00:00:57.180 And, but my point being is that you asked if, you know, to get those communities, how do we get to them?

00:01:04.200 It is marketing, because you know what? We have the time in history where it should be so easy,

00:01:09.940 because no one, everything that's manifested, what's going on right now, nobody wants that.

00:01:16.240 This has united our country, the people like nothing in history, where everyone's going,

00:01:20.740 hey, you know, like I talked, when I talked to the Democrats out in California, they're going,

00:01:25.600 well, we're not going to vote, but they don't know what the Republican Party is.

00:01:28.640 It needs to be rebranded. It needs to be marketed. This is the common sense party.

00:01:33.240 You don't, you do things, problem, solution, and what will it manifest to help all people?

00:01:38.520 And, and they're, so we have the greatest thing going on.

00:01:41.520 We don't even have to work for what is bad, how bad it is of what the Democrats are doing.

00:01:46.220 And, all we have to do is show them what we can do, and it's easy.

00:01:51.060 Thank you.

00:01:55.400 Ms. Rinn.

00:01:57.180 Well, a great way to lead minority outreach is to elect someone who is a minority.

00:02:01.940 Harbeet was born, actually, in India, and her family immigrated here when she was two,

00:02:05.460 and they came for the American dream.

00:02:07.400 And she has been able to live that, and has lived a wonderful, is so proud of her family's heritage,

00:02:12.400 and they are so proud to be Americans.

00:02:14.240 They were conservative activists in North Carolina as she grew up,

00:02:17.220 which is what got her involved immediately when she went to college.

00:02:20.220 But with the minority outreach, especially in respect to the RNC,

00:02:23.480 they love to just tout this line of community centers, but they don't give any actual metrics.

00:02:27.620 Okay, you open, you say, several community centers here, well, what numbers do we actually move here?

00:02:31.820 And oftentimes, the minority communities don't want to be pandered to.

00:02:35.100 The Latino community doesn't want to be talking about, is it Latinx or not?

00:02:38.320 These are Catholic, pro-life people that actually believe.

00:02:40.980 So we need to do a better job of teaching them the conservative beliefs that we share with them.

00:02:45.120 There is no – they should be a part of the conservative party.

00:02:47.240 We have our arms wide open for anyone who believes in lower taxes and family values.

00:02:51.480 That's ultimately what we come down to.

00:02:53.220 It's also the same thing with the African-American community.

00:02:55.880 The biggest struggle facing the African-American community, especially younger people,

00:02:59.820 is where schools are teaching things like CRT.

00:03:02.100 The biggest struggle is credit scores, and we need to have a conversation about that.

00:03:05.700 As conservatives and people who are invested in fiscal conservatism, we should be teaching credit scores to these high schoolers

00:03:12.260 because it is trapping people in communities in poverty, and it is very cruel and wrong.

00:03:17.460 It is the Democratic Party and their ridiculous regulations that they impose on people.

00:03:21.520 Why not go in and do more community centers and go into schools and teach the credit scores so that they are able to get jobs and apartments?

00:03:27.300 And if things like that, where we can teach conservative values to people starting at an early age

00:03:31.720 and not just pander with something about community centers, that's the way that we can bring folks over to our team, I believe.

00:03:42.180 All right.

00:03:42.840 Thank you.

00:03:43.400 We'll now proceed to our last question.

00:03:46.260 Then we're going to take a few questions from the audience,

00:03:49.940 and then after that we'll proceed to closing statements from each of the candidates.

00:03:54.280 And so now let's, final question, talk about the role of the RNC 168.

00:04:01.160 Without question, the 168, they do bring local and state-level perspectives to this national committee process,

00:04:09.260 so they're invaluable in that regard.

00:04:12.340 In that vein, what do the two of you see as the role of the 168,

00:04:16.940 and how do you wish to make their role even more consequential?

00:04:21.060 And we will go with Ms. Wren.

00:04:22.820 The 168, again, it's the state party chair of each state plus the national committee man and woman,

00:04:30.200 and the reason it's not 150 is because it includes the territories in Washington, D.C.

00:04:34.240 I think that the Republican Party is facing an existential crisis right now,

00:04:38.100 and if you do not listen to the grassroots and what they want, which is change in leadership,

00:04:42.380 then we will lose our party.

00:04:44.100 They are not – if Ronna McDaniel is reelected,

00:04:47.120 I think it is crazy to think that everyone will just come together.

00:04:49.540 The entire evening lineup of Fox News has called for Ronna to resign.

00:04:53.120 Every single grassroots organization that I know, they're sending thousands of emails to their RNC 168 members saying,

00:04:58.300 we don't want change, we are demanding a change.

00:05:00.680 Ten state parties have brought an actual vote in their executive committee saying either that Ronna should resign

00:05:05.300 or formally endorse someone else, and those are just – ten have brought it.

00:05:08.620 Can you imagine all 50, if they brought it, it would actually pass.

00:05:11.720 On top of that, the third pillar is donors.

00:05:13.360 Of course, we've had major donors in this party, patriots like Dick Uline and Bernie Marcus,

00:05:18.280 the founder of Home Depot, have stepped up and said,

00:05:20.240 I'm not going to give another penny unless you have a change in leadership.

00:05:24.060 Nothing could be more unified than that message.

00:05:26.280 The problem with these 168 members that I'm facing, and I know, Rich, we have you here,

00:05:29.700 is that some of them are unwilling to listen.

00:05:31.680 In fact, some of them – in Texas, the executive committee passed 67 to 0.

00:05:36.420 This is who elects the 168 members, by the way.

00:05:38.540 67 to 0, that you have to vote for change in leadership at the RNC.

00:05:42.960 And the national committee woman, Tony Ann Daschle, said, I don't care.

00:05:45.880 I'm still voting for Ronna.

00:05:47.180 She gave me a position as the convention chair of a convention that didn't even happen in 2020.

00:05:51.720 So my advice to you is that if you're a committee man or woman or your state party chair,

00:05:56.300 do not listen to you.

00:05:58.040 And when I say you, I mean literally anyone.

00:06:00.460 Everyone is unified saying that they want to change.

00:06:02.620 If they don't listen, you should vote them out.

00:06:08.540 Mr. Lindell.

00:06:11.700 And as I've been talking to all the 168, I've learned so much.

00:06:17.300 And there's some that are – they want – a lot of them want change, that they're forgotten.

00:06:22.580 But a lot of them were afraid.

00:06:24.880 It's a great thing this is a secret ballot.

00:06:27.060 And all of you that I know have said, hey, we should have an open ballot.

00:06:30.260 I got calls from Michigan saying that.

00:06:32.120 I said, absolutely not.

00:06:33.920 Just think if there was a closed ballot for the Speaker of the House, you'd have had a lot more than 20 going there.

00:06:40.980 It would have been a big group because they have fear.

00:06:43.520 What was I promised?

00:06:45.620 What was I promised?

00:06:47.020 Or if I go against her and she's going to take away what was promised.

00:06:52.860 Or they're forgotten.

00:06:54.380 You have a state that's forgotten because they're maybe not as important.

00:06:57.580 I believe the 168 heads are better than one.

00:07:00.360 And that's why I believe I can unify the ones that are considered established people, establishment, versus all the way ones that really care about the people, the grassroots, and combine them and have a blend there that's going to be – because you're not going to – those people will be held accountable.

00:07:17.200 But you've got to get some change in there first.

00:07:19.480 You have to get the change in.

00:07:21.080 You have to – you can't have the same input and expect the same output.

00:07:25.180 And I believe this – real quick, this just happened in South Dakota to tell you what you're up against.

00:07:31.020 In South Dakota, all these precinct committee people got voted in this whole year by the tens of thousands we put them in.

00:07:38.600 And in South Dakota, it's about 800.

00:07:41.160 They got voted in last June.

00:07:42.980 So they didn't like it that – now they had a vote, and they voted out a secretary of state, who I didn't appreciate, and voted in a great secretary of state that was for the people.

00:07:51.660 Well, so they didn't like that in South Dakota, so they go, well, let's have a vote – this was two weeks ago – to vote out the precinct committee people to vote out that they could never vote again.

00:08:04.460 Now, if that had went through, it would have destroyed the Republican Party.

00:08:07.320 But we communicated, got the word out, and it got voted down, shut down.

00:08:11.600 So you need transparency through all the 168 and hold them accountable, you know, the ones that are stuck in – you know why their agenda is not to do like you said about Texas, you know?

00:08:24.060 That doesn't make sense.

00:08:25.340 It's what the people want, and you voted in for the people.

00:08:28.660 What happened to that part?

00:08:30.120 Voted in for the people.

00:08:31.980 You can't have other agendas.

00:08:33.620 We're going to call you out, each and every one of you, if you have your own hidden personal agenda.

00:08:37.760 It's not going to happen anymore on our watch, all of our watch.

00:08:42.760 All right.

00:08:47.620 We'll now proceed to questions from the audience, and then at the conclusion of that, we will move back to closing statements from our campaigns.

00:08:55.640 Okay.

00:08:56.160 First question.

00:08:57.000 You are – I'm part of a nonprofit organization here in California.

00:09:03.620 It seems like we're the only group in California trying to get things started.

00:09:07.360 I'm part of the recall California gas tax, okay?

00:09:10.560 I was also part of the Reform California Voter Integrity Act.

00:09:14.360 Why is it we have to, here in California, John, join nonprofit organizations to get things done?

00:09:19.820 Why isn't the GOP doing something here in California?

00:09:27.280 Thank you.

00:09:32.760 Sorry.

00:09:34.060 Who's the question to you?

00:09:35.000 And Mr. Lindell.

00:09:37.360 That's a great question, and that's why – that's just another reason why I'm up here wanting to be chair.

00:09:42.260 That would not happen on my watch.

00:09:44.000 Every state – you have – let me tell you, when you're in a business, think of this as a huge business, you've got – when somebody calls with a problem, you better fix it.

00:09:52.800 I told you all, I have 500 of my employees back at my pillow have my direct phone number.

00:09:56.620 They'll call me a deviation or a block or a problem, and you address it right then, and you don't just say – you don't not answer that question.

00:10:06.200 Every state should be just like your own state.

00:10:08.520 Even if it's total – if you think it's total blue, and okay, let's just focus on the ones in this election.

00:10:14.040 No, we're all in this together.

00:10:15.160 All right.

00:10:16.860 Thank you.

00:10:17.720 Thank you.

00:10:18.080 Thank you.

00:10:18.160 Thank you.

00:10:20.800 Well, Harmeet is from California, and I think it has a lot of the same shared frustrations that you do as well.

00:10:25.860 As the national committee woman, there's not as much power, as I would say, as the actual party chair holds.

00:10:31.100 But I will say that the actual party chair, Jessica Patterson, is another one who has said, I don't really care what you guys in this room think.

00:10:37.900 I am voting for Ronna McDaniel.

00:10:39.180 She's a friend.

00:10:40.120 And that is fine.

00:10:40.840 You're welcome to be friends with Ronna.

00:10:42.220 You're welcome to like Ronna.

00:10:43.240 She's a perfectly nice person.

00:10:44.320 You're welcome to think that Ronna McDaniel was loyal to President Trump.

00:10:47.540 I was there.

00:10:48.080 She was very loyal to President Trump.

00:10:49.880 But this is not an election about friendships or loyalty.

00:10:52.640 It's an election about winning again.

00:10:54.860 And we are not winning under Ronna, and we need to change that.

00:10:57.780 And this is not your personal vote to give to your personal friend.

00:11:01.060 If you like Ronna a lot, then you should elect her as Girl Scouts chair.

00:11:04.220 We need to win elections.

00:11:06.300 And Harmeet Dillon is the right one to come in right now and work with Mike Lindell to once again win elections.

00:11:11.720 And so for you, my advice to you in California with your national committee man, Sean Steele, and your party chair, Jessica Patterson, is tell them to do the right thing on Friday.

00:11:20.840 And if they don't, run someone against them.

00:11:22.900 Welcome to democracy.

00:11:23.700 Your name and where you're from.

00:11:29.820 John Gardner, originally Pittsburgh, 10 minutes up the road right now.

00:11:33.660 Sorry about the Steelers.

00:11:34.740 Go ahead.

00:11:35.680 Me too.

00:11:36.340 So, you know, I think election integrity is the main reason all of us are here.

00:11:43.180 And Mike referred to the fact that the China virus was used as kind of the reason to implement a wave of new election laws.

00:11:50.660 But I haven't heard that.

00:11:51.440 That was just an excuse.

00:11:52.420 The tool was emergency powers, which are still going on.

00:11:55.560 And I haven't heard anybody or many people talking about guardrails being put in place and politicians giving up a little power maybe at the – sounds like a pipe dream.

00:12:04.760 But what's the thought on emergency powers and how are you going to limit them so this can't happen again?

00:12:11.020 Thank you.

00:12:11.380 Well, you've got to – yeah, you've got to get the – this all will have to be looked at, but you've got to start winning this stuff in courts.

00:12:20.520 You've got to start winning, and we are winning.

00:12:22.360 You're just not hearing about all the hope, the stuff that's going on.

00:12:25.280 And here in California, you know, in California was the number one state that votes were stolen in the 2020 election.

00:12:33.000 Almost two million votes, everybody.

00:12:35.660 I don't care.

00:12:36.320 You can write that down, Mr. Huffington.

00:12:38.480 You know, this is disgusting.

00:12:40.280 And we all have to – you know, all of that has to be looked at in the courts, and we have to fix – you know, and it's not overwhelming.

00:12:49.500 We can do it.

00:12:50.440 And so it'll be there.

00:12:54.040 In March of 2020, you saw a barrage of lawsuits starting to be filed, and they were filed strategically in counties that the Democrats knew they needed to win by 10 points or more.

00:13:04.560 And what was fascinating, actually, was that there was a book written by David Plouffe during – around basically that exact same time.

00:13:10.800 And it was – if you remember David Plouffe, who's Obama's campaign manager, it was a citizen's guide to defeating Donald Trump.

00:13:15.780 It was an online book.

00:13:16.680 I was probably the only one to really read at that time.

00:13:18.540 But he literally lays out exactly what they planned to do, county by county, and said, screw these other places.

00:13:23.620 Just focus on Philadelphia and different places.

00:13:25.420 We have to change the rules and up our vote there.

00:13:27.820 And that's exactly what they did.

00:13:29.080 Under the guise of COVID, they went in and sued to change the election laws and to take over those.

00:13:33.700 But when you change the laws in those states and do automatic registration and printing all the ballots, well, these county elections don't have the money to pay for that.

00:13:39.680 We'll enter Mark Zuckerberg with his $500 million.

00:13:42.460 And guess who is managing Mark Zuckerberg's money?

00:13:44.820 David Plouffe, the same guy who wrote literally a playbook saying this is what we're going to do.

00:13:48.380 The Democrats are not hiding this.

00:13:49.600 They are doing it in the open, in public.

00:13:51.620 They talk about it.

00:13:52.500 And we are sitting here twiddling our thumbs and not recognizing that we are at war with a unified left that is going to take us down and do anything impossible to do it.

00:14:00.980 So, no, nothing has changed.

00:14:02.060 They went in and they sued only in the places they needed to win.

00:14:04.380 They automatically registered everyone in doing it.

00:14:06.260 They used COVID as excuse to do it.

00:14:07.780 They had Mark Elias as their attorney, and then we did nothing to fix it after 2020 once we figured this out.

00:14:13.540 Genius attorneys such as Phil Klein and others wrote endless reports about it.

00:14:16.880 What did Ronna McDaniel do to fix any of it?

00:14:18.860 We just went into the 2020 election, and Ronna's on TV saying we had bad candidates and it's Herschel Walker's fault.

00:14:24.740 And it was not bad candidates.

00:14:26.320 It is not real elections.

00:14:27.900 We have to recognize that and either play the game the Democrats are playing or fold up shop and go home.

00:14:37.780 Okay, folks, we have run out of time, so we're going to do the closing statements after we're done.

00:14:43.080 But I want to thank everybody for being here today, and I want to thank Caroline Wren for coming in for her meet.

00:14:51.020 Thank you, Caroline.

00:14:51.920 I want to thank Mike Lindell for coming here.

00:16:43.320 So we're going to start off.

00:16:47.200 Thank you.

00:16:47.880 By the way, Steve, thank you.

00:16:49.440 I know I had to talk to your agent to get 15 minutes of your war room time.

00:16:53.380 Thank you for doing that.

00:16:54.580 It was a tough negotiation.

00:16:56.040 But you're always there for us, brother, and thank you.

00:16:59.280 Let's start off with our closing statements running for RNC chair, which is a totally corrupt organization as far as I'm concerned.

00:17:05.840 Let's start with Mike Lindell.

00:17:08.220 Okay.

00:17:09.080 Well, everyone, you know, we went through all this, and I've been talking to the 168.

00:17:13.860 I went with over 60 of them last night and alone.

00:17:17.160 And I bring being a messenger, a brander, and a marketer.

00:17:23.440 Everything I've seen so far as I've looked at what it takes to be the RNC chair, I've already done this stuff.

00:17:30.920 I've done it in real life.

00:17:32.400 One of the things, the RNC is like this huge business and one of the most important businesses we have in our country.

00:17:38.860 And we're at a critical time where we have to have a different input to get a different output and save this country.

00:17:45.160 And one of the things, I will view every state like my only state or every territory like my only territory.

00:17:51.340 I've already told them all.

00:17:52.580 I'll be flying around, going in.

00:17:54.540 Every state is different.

00:17:55.720 You want to talk about marketing and with fundraising, people will want to pour money into the RNC in its new form.

00:18:03.300 We have to fix all these things that needed to be fixed, and that I've asked the 168, what needs to be fixed?

00:18:10.380 What do you see?

00:18:11.440 I have 168 heads or better than one.

00:18:13.360 I've got it piled up and going, well, that's easy.

00:18:15.060 That's easy.

00:18:15.640 This won't work.

00:18:16.540 But they all got to be done on a parallel track.

00:18:18.600 And I think this being this huge company, you have to look at deviations and communication, just to communicate.

00:18:29.240 And one of the things I've found is that there might be something good going on over in Maine, and you don't hear about it over in Utah or vice versa.

00:18:36.900 And a lot of these states were being ignored because maybe they're not deemed important.

00:18:41.280 And this, with the RNC, the money, I used to be a big donor, and you donate money.

00:18:48.740 When I find out that almost half of it was going to fundraising, the fundraiser, whoever's being the contractor to go get the contracts or whatever for each individual state, you have all these things going on, and that's just too much over it.

00:19:04.980 That's crazy.

00:19:05.600 So you fix these things, but more importantly is you have to fix our election platforms, which I've been – there's nobody better at that.

00:19:14.440 I've been doing it for two years, and we're already getting there.

00:19:18.080 We've had great things going on right now.

00:19:19.980 You just don't hear about them.

00:19:21.200 So being able to communicate that out and all of us uniting the Republican Party – I've told you today how we would unite all the people, including Democrats, pouring over and educating them on what our party stands for.

00:19:33.440 And you do that, and we're going to have the biggest party – this country is 70 percent red if you remove all the garbage and all the corruption and everything.

00:19:43.120 It's 70 percent red, and it's getting redder every day.

00:19:45.580 Thank you.

00:19:46.580 Thank you.

00:19:52.580 It was an honor to be here to be able to represent Harmeet, who's at the meeting right now doing some official business, and I want to thank John for organizing this and for Rich, for being a committee man and for being here and doing this as well.

00:20:06.060 And I'd like to thank Mike and Katie Hobbs – oh, sorry, I mean Ronna McDaniel – who decided this should have been a public debate.

00:20:14.740 The party is not going well.

00:20:16.640 We are not heading in the right direction.

00:20:17.800 This should have been a debate that happened in public with you and audience and have the different ideas between Harmeet Dillon and Ronna McDaniel and Mike Lindell.

00:20:24.720 And the only reason that did not happen is because Ronna McDaniel knew that she could not stand on her record of failure three consecutive cycles in a row and did not want to face you, the people, to talk about that.

00:20:34.780 And instead is having a closed-door session with 168 people who will not elect.

00:20:39.140 They will select who is going to be the next leader of this party.

00:20:42.300 And we have to recognize that, and I'm speaking now directly to these 168 members who are going to make this decision.

00:20:47.480 If you think that the party is headed in the right direction right now and is doing successful, then I have some beachfront property in Arizona to sell you.

00:20:55.920 We have lost in 2018, 2020, and 2022.

00:20:59.780 We have not lost because of bad candidates.

00:21:02.140 We have lost because of bad leadership.

00:21:04.380 We are set up to fail right now, and we are sending our candidates into unwinnable environments,

00:21:08.880 and that is a direct result of a failed, top-down, consultant-led strategy that pushes money towards failed, corrupt things such as television ads and direct mail

00:21:18.540 and not towards the grassroots and getting ballots into ballot boxes.

00:21:23.120 Ultimately, that is what the responsibility of the Republican National Committee is to do, is to win elections.

00:21:28.080 It has not been winning elections, and there's time for new leadership,

00:21:31.860 and I believe that that person is Harmeet Dillon with Mike Lindell right by her side.

00:21:36.760 Those two people together, they can land this plane right now for our country and for our party,

00:21:41.840 and we all do need to come together and unify, and we need to unify against Ronna McDaniel's candidacy

00:21:46.480 and for new leadership at the RNC.

00:21:48.580 I would encourage you to talk to any 168 member that you know and tell them to please, please vote for change on Friday.

00:21:54.920 I believe that change is Harmeet Dillon, and so thank you very much for having us, and have a wonderful day.

00:22:00.500 Thank you.

00:22:06.760 Thank you.

00:22:36.740 Okay, we're taking over coverage here now.

00:22:39.440 Can we keep the camera on?

00:22:41.060 John Fredericks and the entire team.

00:22:43.440 Let me start that again, though.

00:22:44.720 My mic's on.

00:22:46.140 We're shifting coverage here to Washington, D.C.

00:22:48.780 We've got D. Joe Kent in the room.

00:22:50.620 You see there for our nationwide and podcast audience, radio audience,

00:22:54.720 and for everybody watching Real America's Voice for the last hour and a half,

00:22:58.420 there's actually been something that's been quite unique,

00:23:00.020 a debate that the public was invited to, and you saw all the war room posse there in Southern California.

00:23:05.520 That's Orange County down near Dana Point.

00:23:08.000 We're at the Waldorf Astoria at the former, I think it was the St. Regis Hotel on Monarch Bay,

00:23:13.820 that great golf course, at $1,200 a night.

00:23:17.200 They're having the winter meetings where they're going to vote for the RNC chair, Harmeet Dillon,

00:23:23.080 who actually is a subcommittee chair, so that's why she couldn't be there.

00:23:26.440 This debate had our own Mike Lindell and, of course, Caroline Wren, who you've seen a bunch of times.

00:23:32.700 She's running the Harmeet.

00:23:34.260 John Fredericks, the John Fredericks Radio Network, ran this.

00:23:37.700 And incredibly impressive.

00:23:39.200 That's why we gave him extra time.

00:23:40.420 First of all, we gave him the 15 minutes to open the show because the close of it was fantastic,

00:23:43.680 and then we gave him additional time.

00:23:45.620 And the reason was the debate was historic, and it was amazing.

00:23:49.960 And I can't believe that the RNC – I mean, Joe, this is the problem.

00:23:54.040 They've got to understand it.

00:23:54.960 There's not some hermetically sealed little club.

00:23:57.760 There's supposed to be a marketing – I mean, Mike Lindell said it.

00:24:01.520 He's a guy that started selling pillows that he got a patent on out of the back of his trunk at flea markets,

00:24:09.140 and now it's a multibillion-dollar company, but he understands marketing.

00:24:14.620 And this kind of thing should have been normal course of business.

00:24:16.720 They shouldn't have had to go off, what, two-and-a-half miles over to the Marriott.

00:24:22.420 They should have just had it right there in the space.

00:24:24.240 Tell me your assessment coming out of a hard-fark campaign, which, quite frankly, it is obscene that we lost that.

00:24:32.560 But tell me your assessment as a candidate that was in the fight for a couple of years

00:24:36.800 and now is already reannounced of your assessment of the RNC.

00:24:39.720 Yeah, like we need change at the RNC.

00:24:41.900 I was honored to endorse Harmeet Dillon already because, look, the RNC, at the end of the day,

00:24:46.680 they just were not able to marshal resources properly, get them to the candidates who need them in the fight.

00:24:52.080 I was outspent really six to one in the general election.

00:24:55.320 We had a hard-fought primary.

00:24:56.340 I understand why the RNC stayed out of that.

00:24:57.900 But once we arrived in the general, we simply just couldn't get the resources that we needed.

00:25:02.120 We told the RNC that we needed help reaching out to 80,000 low-propensity Republican voters in the district.

00:25:09.120 We already had these people identified.

00:25:10.360 We said we just needed the resources to reach out and make sure they show up at the polls.

00:25:14.980 The RNC came back at us with some catch-22 that they couldn't help us out

00:25:18.700 because we weren't using the vendors that they were using.

00:25:22.380 So at the end of the day, what was the RNC's priority?

00:25:24.720 Was it to win the race?

00:25:26.140 Is this off Matt Brainerd, who's your campaign manager, general GC?

00:25:29.580 He wrote this incredible piece over at American Greatness that outlined this.

00:25:33.380 Yeah, Matt outlines it greatly.

00:25:34.440 So let me understand this.

00:25:37.740 You, in a district that's MAGA, right, you're running as a combat veteran,

00:25:44.580 probably I think one of the best candidates, you and Eli and Caroline, super MAGA candidates.

00:25:49.800 You've got a competitive race because they're smart enough to run a faux populist against you.

00:25:55.500 You know, she's the one that owns, she's an auto mechanic or runs a thing.

00:25:59.300 So they understand how to market, right?

00:26:01.680 They know that.

00:26:02.860 You go to the RNC and say, hey, look, there's 80,000 low-propensity Trump voters.

00:26:08.700 We know who they are.

00:26:09.820 We need the resources because those guys, you've got to reach out to them.

00:26:12.420 They're not just going to show up because that's why they're low propensity.

00:26:15.080 Yeah, they're the folks that normally don't vote in midterms.

00:26:17.340 We had them identified.

00:26:18.120 Again, we arrived in the general with no money because we spent it all just getting through the hard-fought primary.

00:26:24.100 And again, they came back with some catch-22.

00:26:26.060 Well, you're not using our vendors, so technically we can't come and help you.

00:26:29.720 I like to say that –

00:26:30.420 What does vendors have to do with it?

00:26:32.000 This was the –

00:26:32.860 Could they ever answer that question?

00:26:34.200 Like who cares?

00:26:34.800 This is the rationale.

00:26:35.700 I'm sure Matt can probably go into more detail, but this is the rationale they use this.

00:26:39.080 And we're sitting there like in the fight trying to raise funds just to reach these people.

00:26:42.220 And the Democrats have a fresh war chest.

00:26:43.800 I mean I like to say that the Democrats are not the majority of my district, but the Democrats did a good job of the mechanics.

00:26:51.000 They got ballots in front of their voters.

00:26:53.340 They ballot harvested effectively.

00:26:54.320 I disagree with everything these people stand for, but they get it.

00:26:57.640 I mean they know how to – they're in the ballot generation business.

00:27:00.700 Absolutely.

00:27:01.300 Right?

00:27:01.700 And they – trust me, your opponent, as much as they're trying to build her up here in this city, if she had called – when she reached out to the DNC and said, hey, there's low propensity.

00:27:11.860 There are not many Democrats that are low propensity.

00:27:13.780 I need – I can reach them, but I need money to do it.

00:27:15.820 Boom.

00:27:16.300 She had – how much money did she – she outspent you what?

00:27:18.620 Oh, six to one.

00:27:19.600 Yeah, absolutely.

00:27:20.200 Six to one.

00:27:21.320 Nancy Pelosi gave her about a million dollars like right away.

00:27:23.680 So they had no issues reaching out to their low propensity Democrats.

00:27:27.500 OK.

00:27:27.900 We're going to take a short commercial break.

00:27:29.240 We've got Joe Kent.

00:27:29.980 We're going to spend time – we're going to talk to Joe about the Intelligence Committee, about the guys on, who's off, Omar, Ukraine, all the topics.

00:27:37.780 Joe's announced.

00:27:38.660 He's already running again.

00:27:39.620 We're going to get into it, also talk about this incredible debate.

00:27:42.600 Really want to thank Real America's Voice, Parker Sig, the entire team, John Fredericks.

00:27:46.920 Incredible debate right there.

00:27:48.220 Historic.

00:27:48.700 Never been done before at the RNC.

00:27:51.440 Although slightly off-site, it was on target.

00:27:55.080 Be back in a moment.

00:27:55.840 A lot of people complain about the state of our country or the way woke corporations treat us and their employees.

00:28:10.860 But it's not enough to complain.

00:28:12.600 We need to change the way the marketplace works.

00:29:29.200 That's PublicSQ.com.

00:29:31.400 Your host, Stephen K. Vance.

00:29:38.940 This is purely about political vengeance.

00:29:41.400 The cost is not only removing us from the committee on the Intelligence Committee.

00:29:44.980 The cost is not only breaking, shattering the most precious glassware in the Cabinet, a committee that's always been bipartisan.

00:29:52.020 Listen, the costs are the death threats that Ms. Omar, myself, and Mr. Schiff keep getting because Mr. McCarthy continues to aim and project these smears against us.

00:30:03.900 Even though we have said publicly, these smears are bringing death threats, he continues to do it, which makes us believe that there's an intent behind it.

00:30:11.100 But we will not be quiet.

00:30:14.160 We're not going away.

00:30:15.500 I think he'll regret giving all three of us more time on our hands.

00:30:18.880 You are going away, and it's not a smear.

00:30:24.100 What McCarthy should do is do the unclassified version of Fang Fang, the Chinese Communist Party asset, intel asset that he had a relationship with.

00:30:37.480 Let's get it all out there.

00:30:38.320 It's not a smear.

00:30:38.880 It's a fact.

00:30:39.340 And I'm tired of his continual whining of this guy.

00:30:43.160 Joe Kent, would you support – if you were in the House right now, would you support what Kevin McCarthy is doing?

00:30:48.980 Absolutely, and I really think Speaker McCarthy should be commended for kicking them off the committees, taking that bold stance, and then really going out there and explaining it to the media in very simple terms exactly why he's doing it.

00:30:58.780 Talk to me about that last night.

00:31:00.000 That has not been done, and McCarthy, to his credit, stood up there and backed that reporter down.

00:31:05.200 The reporter is trying to grill him.

00:31:07.760 Talk to him about it a second.

00:31:08.880 First time – we've been at this thing for a couple of years.

00:31:11.000 First time everybody looked into a camera and said, hey, here's exactly – because so many people said, well, I didn't know that about Swalwell.

00:31:16.280 I didn't know that about Shifty Shift.

00:31:18.320 I mean he came right out there, and the reporters tried to give him some gotcha question, and he simply explained that, look, Eric Swalwell was in a compromised relationship with a foreigner who is a member of an intelligence service.

00:31:29.200 Now, in the intelligence community where I came from, you couldn't get a job as a barista in the Starbucks of the lobby at the CIA if you had that in your SF-86, your security clearance documents.

00:31:39.540 Then Adam Schiff I think is even more egregious because he was the head of the intel committee who kept telling the American people, lying to the American people, saying that he had evidence that he just couldn't show us.

00:31:48.640 We had to trust him.

00:31:49.340 He had evidence that Trump was secretly a Russian asset, the Russian compromise, all that nonsense, just abusing the tools and abusing his security clearance.

00:31:57.600 So both of them were rightfully kicked off their committee.

00:31:59.940 What about Omar?

00:32:01.060 Omar – I mean all the anti-Semitic stuff she said, the sympathies with al-Qaeda.

00:32:06.080 I mean there's no reason for her to be on there.

00:32:07.820 What about a more formal investigation about – look, it's always been said about her – the immigration.

00:32:12.660 She's here illegally.

00:32:13.600 She married a brother.

00:32:14.720 Is it time to put that information out too?

00:32:17.340 100%.

00:32:17.700 I mean look, when you have a security clearance and you're given access to information, you have to disclose a lot about your life and then who you're married to and how that marriage took place.

00:32:27.540 Like that's under scrutiny.

00:32:28.540 And by the way, letter definitive, it's not true.

00:32:31.140 If it smears – if Swalwell says it's a smear, I think Kevin McCarthy and people, you've got to redact the classified sections of it.

00:32:38.120 But there's plenty you can put out there and they ought to do it.

00:32:40.240 If they're going to make a big deal that Kevin McCarthy is basically bringing death threats on me, I think McCarthy and his team ought to step up here and say – and call their bluff.

00:32:48.200 And you're right.

00:32:48.860 You're 100% right about Schiff.

00:32:51.020 They shouldn't have security – first off, I think they should have their security clearance just stripped from them.

00:32:55.460 Let's talk about – how many combat tours did you do?

00:32:58.320 I did 11 combat tours.

00:32:59.180 11 combat tours.

00:33:00.220 His wife killed in action, correct?

00:33:02.280 Absolutely, killed in Syria.

00:33:03.020 So you're a gold star husband, gold star father.

00:33:06.280 Yep.

00:33:06.620 How are the children doing?

00:33:07.780 They're doing good, keeping me busy.

00:33:09.080 Are they?

00:33:09.380 Two little boys, yeah.

00:33:10.360 Talk to me about Ukraine.

00:33:11.540 You got the 101st – you got the 101st forward deployed into Europe for the first time since the end of World War II.

00:33:17.720 They're in Romania.

00:33:19.880 We announced last night and Biden confirmed it, 31 Abrams tanks.

00:33:26.540 I got to talk to Mo.

00:33:27.300 I think that's close to the number she took over in 14, which shows you how they were thinking through what they were going to do here, right?

00:33:33.340 They took them to the Baltics.

00:33:36.720 You've got – that's going to take maintenance.

00:33:39.960 You've done this drill before.

00:33:40.960 That's going to take support, logistics, logisticians, as Mo was.

00:33:44.860 It's going to take support, maintenance, training.

00:33:48.780 Is it feasible, sir, with your experience?

00:33:51.960 I know you're not armor.

00:33:53.180 But is it feasible to put the M1 Abrams tank with the gas turbine engines and as advanced as that is and just turn it over to guys with six weeks of training and hope to –

00:34:03.460 is that feasible, sir?

00:34:05.340 No, it's not.

00:34:06.880 I mean any time we've tried that, it's been a catastrophic failure.

00:34:09.820 I mean when you see big arms packages like this, especially with something like the Abrams tanks or even the Bradley infantry fighting vehicles,

00:34:16.540 you have to look at not just the initial cost of how much it's going to cost the taxpayers' money we don't have to go over there,

00:34:21.720 but also like you said, the logistical trail.

00:34:23.940 I mean those Abrams tanks are – they take a good deal of upkeep.

00:34:27.080 And so this is a huge payday for the military-industrial complex.

00:34:30.660 And again, has anybody explained yet to the American people what we're risking World War III for?

00:34:35.240 Like what's – big picture, why are we doing any of this?

00:34:38.300 Well, if you were in Congress right now, would you demand that Joe Biden come through and let's have a golf of tongue, but come forward.

00:34:44.140 You've got to make a – you have to make a formal presentation to the House of Representatives as the founders wanted, sir?

00:34:49.720 Absolutely.

00:34:50.260 I mean there's a reason why the founders didn't give one guy in the White House, regardless of what party he's in, the ability to take us off to war.

00:34:55.540 That's supposed to be done in Congress.

00:34:57.080 They didn't give a guy named General Washington who had already won a pretty big war, right?

00:35:02.180 They said, no, you've still got to go to the people's house and you've got to make your case, right?

00:35:05.480 Absolutely.

00:35:07.700 Right now there's a siege in front of Bakhmut that they're fighting, a death struggle there.

00:35:12.720 Zelensky doesn't want to back off from that.

00:35:14.760 But the CIA director goes over there.

00:35:17.160 Austin is over there.

00:35:18.120 You've got Milley and they're talking him into pivoting.

00:35:21.460 They're going to supply big armor and we're going to have maneuver warfare.

00:35:26.020 In the spring when the roads get firm and they're going to sweep down in armored columns to take Crimea.

00:35:32.520 As a combat veteran with 11 combat tours, having seen this rodeo before, what's the probability of success there, sir?

00:35:40.640 If you just look at our last 20 years of war and I was a part of these last 20 years of war, anytime you get generals in Washington, D.C. saying they have some great new campaign plan of how especially a different culture is going to fight, it blows up catastrophically in our face.

00:35:55.000 Again, how do we even lie to the American people that we're not at war with Russia right now when you have that military package that's over there, you have the CIA director that's over there?

00:36:03.740 I mean at what point are we going to be in a circumstance where now we're staring down Putin potentially towards a nuclear war and none of this has been explained to the American people?

00:36:11.900 Breaking news, President Zelensky, after he said thanks for the tanks, he then said, hey, we need jets and we need long-range missiles, jets and long-range missiles and we need rockets for the jets.

00:36:23.600 We've got to be able to strike into Russian territory.

00:36:27.000 How quickly is this going to – I mean you fought in some pretty bad neighborhoods.

00:36:30.300 How quickly is this going to metastasize?

00:36:31.800 I mean this is only going to get worse.

00:36:35.000 More Ukrainians are going to get thrown into the meat grinder and killed and then again, I mean now that we have Americans that are going to be doing these weapons deliveries, these logistical packages.

00:36:43.600 We had an American volunteer that was over there just get killed.

00:36:46.860 I mean at what point does this go hot?

00:36:48.720 And look, no one –

00:36:49.440 An AWOL, an AWOL, an ABCA.

00:36:51.480 Give me a break.

00:36:51.900 Right.

00:36:52.200 But no one can pretend –

00:36:52.960 First of all, they know every guy in the country.

00:36:55.460 And America is given $100 billion.

00:36:57.680 The probability you had an AWOL seal is what, Joe Kent?

00:37:01.380 I mean I've never – that was the first thing I said.

00:37:03.820 I was like I haven't really heard of an AWOL Navy seal before.

00:37:06.040 I mean I was a Green Beret, so maybe it's something a little bit different.

00:37:08.200 But I mean look, anybody right now saying that they can predict what's going to happen next is lying 100 percent.

00:37:13.720 Like all the folks over on the hill or in the Pentagon saying like, hey, we're just providing advisors.

00:37:18.140 We're just providing weapons.

00:37:19.140 This thing won't escalate.

00:37:20.160 They have no idea.

00:37:21.520 They're playing with fire.

00:37:22.900 No, it's the fog of war.

00:37:23.800 It looks like Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan all over again.

00:37:27.000 We haven't learned a lesson.

00:37:28.200 Folks in Washington 3, what is their assessment of what we should be doing in Ukraine today?

00:37:34.320 Look, most people in Washington 3, just like most folks throughout the entire country, this economy is absolutely destroying them.

00:37:40.800 Crime is out of control.

00:37:41.860 They know that our southern border is open.

00:37:43.500 Massive fentanyl epidemic.

00:37:45.380 So really most people are wondering.

00:37:47.100 They feel sympathy for the Ukrainian people.

00:37:49.540 We have a huge Slavic community in our district.

00:37:53.160 I was honored to have the endorsement of Slavic Vote, our biggest Slavic voting bloc.

00:37:57.400 However, most people in the district wonder how can our government continue to send billions and billions of dollars over to a far-flung country when we have so many problems here at home.

00:38:06.320 Even the Slavic community, what they would like is Biden to come forward and actually make a presentation.

00:38:15.940 What's interesting about the Slavic community, the folks that I talk to, they really just want the killing to stop.

00:38:21.120 And they understand that American oligarchs in the defense industry and that Russian oligarchs and Ukrainian oligarchs right now are the ones that are benefiting while innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children are being killed every single day.

00:38:33.360 So when we talk about working both sides to the negotiating table, that's really what I think kind of won me over with a lot of them because they want the killing to stop.

00:38:42.780 They want peace.

00:38:43.940 I'm going to get to your campaign because you're a guest up until the end of the hour.

00:38:47.800 I don't think we're going to be able to go back to Southern California.

00:38:50.380 I think they're tearing it down and guys are moving on.

00:38:53.040 But we'll get to all those people tomorrow, Caroline Wren, Mike Lindell, and John Fredericks.

00:38:59.020 I want to bring in Dr. Harvey Rischoff.

00:39:01.360 Dr. Rischoff, because we had the debate, we're going to be able to spend more time tomorrow.

00:39:04.940 But I had to get you on here.

00:39:06.020 I was reading your emails and seeing what you're putting out.

00:39:09.240 Talk to me about the latest information they're putting out now.

00:39:13.820 Tomorrow is, I guess, the vote day for the FDA on the bivalent booster.

00:39:22.180 What is your assessment, sir, of where we are in this and what would be Dr. Harvey Rischoff's recommendation?

00:39:26.520 Dr. Well, the bivalent booster has already failed because it was targeted for substrains of Omicron that have largely disappeared from circulation in the U.S.

00:39:37.680 And that's the problem because we don't have seasonality on COVID waves.

00:39:43.340 In fact, we're not seeing a wave, so to speak, this winter like we've seen waves in the past.

00:39:49.000 There's a little bump, but it's not really a wave.

00:39:50.800 So the vaccines take three or four months to make and distribute, and by the time they do that, the variants are long gone or mostly gone.

00:40:01.460 And that's the problem, that they lose efficacy both because they're targeted against the wrong variants and because over time, all the vaccines lose efficacy, as the CDC reported on August 11th.

00:40:14.760 So you just can't catch up, and it doesn't provide a service to keep jabbing people over and over again, and certainly will be completely useless doing it on an annual basis when these things only have potential benefit for a few months at most.

00:40:32.200 Okay, but this is what the thing tomorrow is.

00:40:34.460 They're going to say they want to make it like the flu shot you go to CVS and get.

00:40:38.320 They want to make it annually.

00:40:39.260 And I think, look, this is your field, not mine, but they're going to study all the variants and make the batches in the spring or in June to be ready to go in like two months.

00:40:50.920 Is that the plan?

00:40:52.220 Is that counter your argument, or do you think that just shows the insanity that FDA is pursuing here?

00:40:58.620 I think it's unrealistic.

00:40:59.900 I think that to make the vaccines and distribute them in two months is feasible, but by two months after, it takes a while for them to know which are the variants that are going to be in circulation because new variants are always turning up.

00:41:15.420 And there's, you know, a dozen at any given time that are the major new ones, and in order to know that one of them is going to surpass the others, it takes a while for that to happen.

00:41:26.260 And once that point is reached, those variants will peak in about six to eight weeks.

00:41:32.060 And so by the time two months has gone by when the vaccines are out, it's already past the peak of the ones that they were calibrated for.

00:41:39.720 You have to remember that annual boosters are not an emergency, that these vaccines were approved under emergency status, under EUA authorization, but there is no emergency for annual vaccines.

00:41:54.180 And so there's been no full BLA, the Biological License Authorization, licensure of these vaccines in the United States.

00:42:02.920 The ones that have been licensed aren't available.

00:42:04.840 The community is not available, only the EUA version, and that's not appropriate in a non-emergency situation, which is the case of annual vaccinations.

00:42:15.200 None of this makes sense.

00:42:16.340 The whole thing doesn't make any sense at all.

00:42:20.120 We're going to have you back on tomorrow.

00:42:22.140 We're going to work your schedule to get you back on with the FDA's meeting.

00:42:25.260 Until then, Dr. Risch, how can people get to you?

00:42:27.300 I know you've got a channel at Telegram.

00:42:29.140 Where can people get you there and other places?

00:42:31.300 The easiest way is to Google me at Yale, Risch, R-I-S-C-H, and Yale, Y-A-L-E, and that has my faculty page, and on that page is my Telegram link.

00:42:43.980 It's Harvey Risch MD-PhD is the Telegram link, but that's a lot to remember, so it's easier just to Google me.

00:42:51.220 Is it still, real quickly, do the students at Yale have to get the booster by the 31st so they can't come back?

00:42:57.220 That is correct.

00:42:57.860 That's the current status of the Yale requirement.

00:43:01.300 I look forward to talking to you tomorrow.

00:43:03.920 Dr. Risch will work out to make sure we accommodate your schedule.

00:43:06.300 Dr. Harvey Risch from Yale, thank you very much, sir.

00:43:09.320 Honored to have you on here.

00:45:26.340 I've got the total immersive experience on all of our accounts, our contributors account.

00:45:29.920 You can get all the inside baseball, including on Joe Kent.

00:45:33.380 Joe, first off, you just heard Dr. Risch, one of the most stable, profound voices in this.

00:45:38.340 Folks out in Washington 3, where are their heads right now about the pandemic?

00:45:42.020 Well, look, we actually held on to the pandemic and the lockdowns for a lot longer, unfortunately, than a lot of the states did.

00:45:47.500 And we had a lot of first responders, a lot of folks in the private sector who lost their jobs because they refused to take this vaccine.

00:45:54.560 And now we're seeing as more time goes on that, you know, the vaccine is harming people.

00:45:58.700 What are people that got blown out of their jobs or had their education that didn't take the vax?

00:46:05.960 What's their sense right now of where this is heading?

00:46:08.400 They're still furious.

00:46:09.080 I mean, we fear that because Jay Inslee will either, you know, pick his selector or his successor or get reelected, that the lockdowns could come back.

00:46:17.280 Inslee the other day said that he still wasn't going to rehire people, wasn't going to rehire first responders that lost their job for refusing to take the vaccine.

00:46:24.640 As a matter of fact, when we had wildfires in our district, we had a shortage of wildland firefighters that could actually go out there because of the vax mandate.

00:46:33.560 You were chief warrant officer.

00:46:35.400 How many years in?

00:46:36.760 I was in for 20.

00:46:37.280 20 years.

00:46:38.000 Yes, retired at 20.

00:46:39.160 Retired at 20 and did a year at the CIA.

00:46:40.900 CIA and 11 combat tours.

00:46:44.280 Your friends, colleagues or children, colleagues that had the vax problem and what do they think of so far?

00:46:50.740 You don't have the vax, but no back pay, no reinstatement.

00:46:53.400 What's the – where are they right now?

00:46:55.920 Well, it's a step in the right direction.

00:46:57.180 They said they're going to get rid of the vax mandate at the federal level.

00:47:00.240 But again, this really affected guys' lives.

00:47:02.840 People left the military.

00:47:04.000 People had their ability to get promoted, halted, to deploy, to go to schools.

00:47:09.040 So this crushed lives right now.

00:47:10.620 And so people want to see that they're going to be made whole once more.

00:47:13.420 They're really enthusiastic what Speaker McCarthy put out that he's going to reinstate – that they're going to lift the mandate.

00:47:18.120 So they're happy with the improvement so far, but they want to see the back pay and people to get what's coming to them.

00:47:24.760 The issues you ran on are the top issues today and quite frankly with the 6 and the 20 and hey, give McCarthy a chance.

00:47:33.800 He was the cartel head, but so far I think it's been pretty impressive, particularly who's on the committees, what's happening on the thing.

00:47:40.160 It's far from perfect, but when you see these issues out there, like for instance, the debt ceiling, where would your head be on the debt ceiling right now?

00:47:48.180 And most importantly, where are the people in Washington who are on the debt ceiling?

00:47:51.020 You know, when you go and talk to people in my district or really anywhere, one of the things that frustrates them the most about Congress or about our government is that they never really have to submit or adhere to a budget, that they can just continue to print money and it's all on us.

00:48:03.340 So when you go and you talk to people, they say, this is just ridiculous.

00:48:06.140 Why can't they just come to us and say, this is what the plan is to balance the budget?

00:48:10.040 And you know, look, most people, they are smart enough to see through this shell game.

00:48:13.440 Immediately the Democrats say, you asked us to balance the budget, they're going to starve grandmother.

00:48:17.080 They're going to take away social security and Medicaid.

00:48:19.320 Most people understand that that's just a game.

00:48:21.500 They understand that we take in what, close to $5 trillion in tax revenue?

00:48:25.420 And for the Democrats to say, we won't even show you what the budget, the plan is to get on track to a balance budget.

00:48:31.780 No model whatsoever.

00:48:32.640 You think that's ridiculous?

00:48:33.200 Just give us more money.

00:48:34.100 You would demand that.

00:48:35.020 Absolutely.

00:48:35.380 You have to demand that.

00:48:35.880 By the way, every person in the county that has a business or has anything, they have to do their own model.

00:48:40.620 Yeah, every household.

00:48:41.620 Has to budget.

00:48:42.500 Yeah.

00:48:43.040 Why, you know, and my phone's blowing up of people that said, hey, he personally called me afterwards and thanked me for my help and assistance.

00:48:50.640 Why is someone that's dedicated 20 years of their life and not sitting behind a desk out in the field, didn't do a CIA in defense of their country, what your family has given up?

00:48:59.240 And I can tell you because I know this guy, the two years you spent in a brutal primary and then even a more brutal general election.

00:49:07.880 Why does Joe Kent want to do it again?

00:49:10.420 Look, I don't have a choice.

00:49:11.680 I served my country since I was 18 years old, and we are about to lose our nation.

00:49:16.640 We're losing more and more of it every single day.

00:49:18.700 So I really think this is a call to action for every single patriot out there who understands that people that I served with, like my late wife, and then 13 generations of Americans before us gave their life for this country.

00:49:30.440 And we cannot stand by and watch it get burned down by these people.

00:49:34.140 We have to go fight tooth and nail.

00:49:35.380 The folks in Washington 3, if you ask them today, what are the two or three things on the top of their mind that they want to see changed in Washington about this entire culture and about where the nation is and where politics are, what would they tell you?

00:49:49.500 I mean the economic situation right now, inflation.

00:49:52.020 I mean you're working-class families, middle-class families losing over a month of wages, and that number just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

00:49:58.960 People want to have actual economic stability back in their lives.

00:50:02.720 People remember 2019.

00:50:04.180 It wasn't that long ago.

00:50:05.480 They remember what the economy could be.

00:50:07.020 They don't want to pay $4 or $5 a gallon for gasoline.

00:50:10.400 Crime is another one, absolutely out of control.

00:50:12.620 We're basically a border state because Oregon and Washington are both sanctuary cities.

00:50:16.660 Portland is right to our south.

00:50:17.860 Seattle is to our north.

00:50:19.140 Crime is out of control, petty crime, serious violent crime.

00:50:22.500 It's not safe to send your kids to go play in the playground anymore down the street.

00:50:26.180 And so people, they can see.

00:50:27.940 Is that the Washington state that these people fought for?

00:50:29.900 Is that the Washington state that people moved there to actually enjoy the beauty of that state and the great folks out there?

00:50:35.540 No, it's not at all.

00:50:36.620 And we can see more and more of it just getting squandered every single day.

00:50:39.880 Your opponent, because she talks a good game.

00:50:42.060 She's a populist.

00:50:43.140 I got that part of it.

00:50:44.260 But, correct me if I'm wrong, she votes in lockstep with these folks, right?

00:50:49.320 Yeah.

00:50:49.480 On every important vote so far, she's voted in lockstep of the Democratic Party.

00:50:52.980 Yeah.

00:50:53.300 She votes with Hakeem Jeffries, exactly how they tell her to vote.

00:50:56.540 She talks endlessly about how she's a small business owner, but she voted to preserve Joe Biden's 87,000 IRS agents that are going to target the working class and the middle class.

00:51:05.540 She is really outspoken about being pro-choice, pro-abortion.

00:51:08.980 However, she went as far as voting against the Born Alive Act, so she's good with depriving care to an infant that survives an abortion, which I know that that is a stance that's even too radical for most people that consider themselves to be pro-choice.

00:51:22.300 And also on the drugs thing.

00:51:23.240 She talks about the catalytic converters, but the real problem with that is the meth and the fentanyl and all that.

00:51:27.480 It's shutting the border and going after.

00:51:29.620 Would you designate – they just designate the Wagner Group, a transnational criminal organization, no doubt about that.

00:51:35.000 But would you designate the cartels a transnational terrorist organization?

00:51:39.000 Absolutely.

00:51:39.600 I mean, look, if the military industrial complex wants a war, we have one on our southern border.

00:51:43.780 Our country is being invaded.

00:51:44.960 About 300 Americans are getting killed every day by fentanyl.

00:51:48.740 So, yeah, absolutely.

00:51:49.620 Designate the Mexican drug cartels as a terrorist organization and let's go after them.

00:51:52.620 30 seconds.

00:51:53.500 Tell us where to go.
