00:01:03.440

00:01:11.580
show six o'clock uh royce white we got frankie stocks from national file uh natalie winters
00:01:18.240
dr bradley thayer so we are jammed for the next two hours here i want to start with uh matt brainerd
00:01:24.040
by the way blockbuster i don't think we have it booted up yet but charlie kirk on real america's
00:01:28.240
voice blockbuster news today ron desantis came in hard uh for harmeet dylan to be um he says time
00:01:36.440
for a change at the rnc he threw his weight in and back of it and i can tell you because we've got
00:01:41.240
nicole negrady and um and uh grace chung the queen of the trolls out in um out in a dana point
00:01:51.040
right now and i can tell you that has led to turmoil at the rnc i want to start with matt brainerd and
00:01:56.520
ask matt matt was actually here yesterday while we had uh kent joe kent in the war room matt i read
00:02:04.800
this piece but would you know i didn't really realize the depth of it until talking to joe uh the rnc
00:02:11.220
and you're talking about changing you had this piece it's now up on war room it's it's quite
00:02:16.380
incredible um it talks to us about why there's change needed the rnc what happened joe kent lost
00:02:21.980
by what a thousand votes or something like that it was you know close to one percent or under one
00:02:26.800
percent i mean it's it is a crime that he's not in congress we we needed that young man uh more than
00:02:33.560
anything uh what happened in the rnc what happened with the rnc in this campaign i think there were 80
00:02:39.100
000 identifiable uh uh low propensity voters trump voters who would vote with trump on the ticket but
00:02:47.460
you got to really work to get them out in midterms and you guys couldn't get the uh couldn't get the
00:02:54.200
it's going to come down to a couple hundred votes you couldn't get the resources uh because of
00:03:02.040
something to do with consultants and who who you're using and your vendors uh walk us through that
00:03:07.360
because i think the audience needs to understand what's really at stake with this rnc situation
00:03:11.460
out in dana point matt brainerd right so what's important to understand about joe kent's race in
00:03:17.140
washington state is that it's a place where ballot harvesting is legal and that means that your field
00:03:22.200
program is essential to victory in a competitive race and we were getting down to the wire in
00:03:28.600
washington state and we identified as you said 80 000 pro trump pro kent uh reactive republican voters
00:03:36.000
who are just going to vote straight to qatar but they are not engaged enough they don't watch war room
00:03:40.320
they don't they don't know that they have to return about it or even that there's having an election
00:03:44.380
so it's important that we have a field program that can knock on these people's doors and get them to
00:03:48.560
return their ballots or return their ballots for them and we turned to the republican national
00:03:52.900
committee who is funding field programs in other parts of the country and asked them hey can you
00:03:56.540
help us with a field program and they said no and i said why and they said because you're not using our
00:04:02.880
free voter data and associated apps you've decided to go with some third party solution and i figured
00:04:09.460
well this is because they want to make sure any data we collect goes back into their big system so it's
00:04:14.100
not law so it can be used in future elections and i said well we'll give you back all the data you
00:04:18.660
help us collect and all the data we've collected in total so you don't lose anything and the answer was
00:04:23.000
still no it is our policy vicious compliance policy not to support field programs that do not use our
00:04:30.680
in-house preferred vendors for voter data and for apps now you might have this actually kind of picks
00:04:37.600
it a much bigger problem and that is that well if they're offering you free voter data and free apps
00:04:43.140
why are you paying money for a third party vendor and what this piece gets at is the systematic failure
00:04:49.480
of the republican national committee on the nuts and bolts side of elections specifically voter data and
00:04:55.360
targeting and fundraising where our candidates are vastly underserved the truth is that there's no limit
00:05:02.240
to what the republican national committee can do to help our candidates if they don't care about
00:05:07.040
taking care of their friends who are consultants and don't care about a profit motive but unfortunately
00:05:11.860
they've consistently put their relationships with consultants and profit motive for those consultants
00:05:17.700
ahead of helping our candidates and the reason i wrote this piece is because before the rnc
00:05:22.760
is the opportunity to make a change now i brought this concern in front of the current chairman ronna
00:05:28.660
romney uh mcdaniel she ignored it and then she told a closed door room of rnc members that there was
00:05:34.840
no problem but when i raised the issue with a harmy dylan she got it she understood it and she wants
00:05:40.640
to do something about it it's important that people understand just how badly served our candidates are
00:05:45.760
by the rnc so i'm going to give you a very small example okay when you donate a hundred dollars to a
00:05:50.960
candidate through win red if the rnc really cared about helping our candidates they'd have a platform
00:05:56.100
where the fee would be around 25 cents on that 100 online credit card contribution unfortunately
00:06:02.500
because of the way they built it through their consultant friends it actually costs four dollars
00:06:07.480
taken right out of that contribution and even worse much of the time when you're getting an
00:06:13.180
unsolicited solicitation for a candidate you haven't donated for uh before either through text
00:06:18.500
or through email and you click that link to donate what you don't know is that as much as 90 percent
00:06:24.460
of that contribution is immediately taken away by the fundraising consultant who owned the list who sent
00:06:30.240
that email at and doesn't actually go to the candidate so you give a hundred dollars to consultant to a
00:06:34.960
candidate that you really like maybe only six dollars actually goes to them and i think that
00:06:40.300
it's it's fraudulent to not reveal those percentages that don't go to the candidate and the rnc could be
00:06:46.180
building a much better system where again rather than four dollars on every hundred on the transaction
00:06:50.960
it's just 25 cents and rather than paying 90 percent to a rev share consulting company instead you're just
00:06:58.780
having candidates share lists that they own with each other so they're helping each other raise money
00:07:03.300
rather than helping consultants get rich and that is a fundamental problem with the rnc it's they're
00:07:08.700
holding our candidates back and just think about how many candidates lost this last cycle because they
00:07:13.580
didn't have the resources they needed or because on the voter data side there's they were stuck with
00:07:19.180
voter data where their mail bounces or the phone calls don't go through and you talk to any county
00:07:24.100
party chairman across the country and they will tell you how bad the rnc data is and how bad their
00:07:29.640
designated apps are i had one governor's race where they were using rnc data and they had about 60
00:07:35.300
phone penetration because the phone numbers were so bad we switched to a commercial alternative that
00:07:40.240
really wasn't that expensive and it jumped up to 80 those are the margins that make the difference in
00:07:45.340
terms of whether or not republicans win or lose and it's the rnc's failure and the systematic
00:07:50.600
nuts and bolts issues that aren't very sexy you don't hear about them in the media i'm sure this
00:07:54.760
is the first time many of your people watching the show have heard about this particular problem
00:07:58.320
with the rnc but in terms of voter targeting and apps and fundraising they are failing our candidates
00:08:03.500
and it's time for it to change and now's the time for it to change preferably tomorrow with the with
00:08:08.940
the new vote for the new chairman this is this is kind of get to the thing itself i want you
00:08:14.700
very slowly go back through that hit the high points this audience has to understand this go
00:08:20.200
back and and just walk through how the system's set up today and how it is not there to essentially
00:08:26.140
help the candidates right the rnc has designated a firm which is actually run by an rnc member or
00:08:32.620
they call it data trust which manages our voter data this is vastly inferior to other options that
00:08:39.160
are available and our candidates are depending on it because they're strong-armed into using it
00:08:43.600
at the state party level at the local level and at the campaign level then on the fundraising side
00:08:48.520
we have an incredibly inefficient fundraising operation in win red that is costing our candidates
00:08:54.720
way more than it should and is giving uh third party consultants the opportunity to basically uh
00:09:02.160
embezzle tremendous amounts of those contributions that are meant for campaigns the rnc could solve this
00:09:07.520
problem it could give us the the there's no limit really on how good our voter data could be and how
00:09:13.080
efficient our fundraising operations can be but because they are tied up with rnc members who run
00:09:18.240
these organizations who have connections to them or consultant friends we're stuck with this incredibly
00:09:23.120
inefficient and counterproductive national party apparatus that is failing our candidates and costing
00:09:29.200
us elections embezzles a tough word is it just that the structure because pat cadale used to always tell me
00:09:37.220
he said look we drove basically the consultant class out of the democratic party decades ago you guys
00:09:43.800
basically have always had the consultants run the republican party is it just economic structure is it
00:09:49.540
really embezzlement is that just the way that's because that's a harsh term is or is it just the way
00:09:54.380
that the economic structure is set up around uh around uh these consultants when you see a candidate you
00:10:00.540
like and you get an email that you didn't solicit saying hey help this candidate make a contribution
00:10:06.060
click this link and you give a hundred dollars and you think you're actually giving a hundred dollars
00:10:10.080
that comes to that candidate but four percent goes off to win red and ninety percent upwards of ninety
00:10:16.600
percent goes to a fundraising consultant i would call and it's not disclosed to you i would call that
00:10:23.820
embezzlement and i would say that the rnc facilitates that when there's alternatives such as creating a
00:10:29.720
common market for candidates to share their lists that do not take that amount take that amount of money
00:10:34.640
or hide the fact that they're taking that amount of money it's it's to me it is it is criminal and
00:10:39.820
it would pay me to have to look a donor in the eye and say hey you you work really hard especially
00:10:44.780
in this economy to make that financial contribution you did it through win red and guess what only six
00:10:49.680
of those hundred dollars went to your candidate it's unconscionable i can't i can't imagine trying to look
00:10:53.880
a donor in the eye and tell them that and it's it's incredibly dishonest and it's something that the
00:10:58.660
party has the ability to fix and with the right leadership it can fix it if the act blue is the
00:11:06.460
counterpart to win red correct and at blues acts blues uh economic structure are the same fees taken
00:11:13.460
out are they comparable are they they do it for the four cents that you talk about instead of the
00:11:18.200
the 25 cents versus four dollars well the rev share amount how much their consultants take if
00:11:23.940
there's an immediate split auto split i'm not a democrat i don't have access i do know that the
00:11:28.640
rate that the uh that back blue cut uh takes on the transaction fees is comparable to win red but
00:11:35.320
it's not good enough to be just in fact win red intentionally matched act blue because they figured
00:11:40.380
that's the most they could get away with without being accused of you know taking too much because
00:11:44.640
before that it was actually higher than act blues people complain so they make the same back blues but the
00:11:48.920
truth is it can be so much less again when you're raising millions and millions of dollars
00:11:52.780
you're having races decided decided as 2020 was decided by just a few thousand votes in a few
00:11:57.820
different states those that loss of four percent rather than a loss of 0.05 or 0.25 percent makes a
00:12:06.320
difference every dollar counts so that's why we need a party that is almost has a priesthood mentality
00:12:11.960
of complete dedication to helping our candidates win with no intention of trying to make money for
00:12:18.220
anybody and that's really critical right now because it's not it's not good enough just to be
00:12:23.220
the same as the democrats we've got to do better if we've got if we're going to beat them and we do
00:12:27.480
that by providing better voter data better candidate support for that data better apps and a much better
00:12:33.900
fundraising apparatus that will would be vastly less expensive than it is right now vastly more
00:12:39.340
efficient and you know there's another problem with win red that we need to talk about it's built on top
00:12:43.640
of a woke tech company called stripe 98 percent of stripe employees contributions go to democrats and
00:12:51.460
that woke company's mindset is why they were able to shut down donald trump's uh win red tied stripe
00:12:57.900
account after the 2020 election when he was trying to raise money wasn't wasn't wasn't wasn't stripe
00:13:03.220
stripe was brought in by kushner let's go and play the de santos uh clip i think stripe was brought in by
00:13:08.700
kushner let's let's go ahead and play uh the de santos clip and i'll get matt's uh assessment who
00:13:13.740
should lead the rnc and whether it should be rana for a fourth term or go a different direction harmeet
00:13:20.680
dylan what are your thoughts on this well we've had three substandard election cycles in a row 18 20
00:13:27.340
and 22 and i would say of all three of those 22 was probably the worst given the the political
00:13:33.780
environment of a very unpopular president and biden huge majorities of the people think the country's
00:13:39.880
going in the wrong direction that is an environment that's tailor-made to make big gains in the house
00:13:45.880
and the senate and state house state houses all across the country and yet that didn't happen and
00:13:51.480
in fact we even lost ground in the u.s senate and so you know i think we need a change i think we need
00:13:57.600
to get some new blood in the rnc i like what harmeet dylan has said about getting the rnc out of dc
00:14:04.980
why would you want to have your headquarters in the most democrat city in america it's more democrat than
00:14:12.540
san francisco is a blockbuster today ronda santos comes out in uh and backs harmeet dylan it's it's
00:14:21.180
caused dana point to go in total turmoil we know we have people out there uh we've also talked to the
00:14:26.400
dylan team and uh to uh mike lindell your thoughts we got about 20 seconds uh matt that that's some
00:14:32.600
real leadership and whether it's leadership on the level of governor de santos or the grassroots in
00:14:38.500
every party in every state across the country who are shouting to the rnc members how could you
00:14:45.600
possibly re-elect rana for them to if they if any of them are thinking of re-electing rama i have to go
00:14:51.320
greta thunberg's like yeah how dare you how dare you in the face of the base we aggressively having
00:14:56.720
a we've got a bounce matt we'll we'll put covidtaxrelief.org got a small retail business almost
00:15:04.700
eighty thousand dollars covidtaxrelief.org got a manufacturing business nearly 250 grand

00:16:34.140
the reawaken american tour hey clay here's what i would propose i want this audience which is the
00:16:39.480
most powerful audience in the grassroots to what we like to do is have immersions experience and
00:16:44.520
content i would like them to be able to get access to all your content and then to make up their own
00:16:50.460
mind uh where do people go if they want to see you know because joyanne reid and her guests are
00:16:56.000
saying you guys are the most dangerous people in america uh that you you know you're trying to destroy
00:17:01.240
the country uh that you're really laying the ground for a new cromwell right you're the worst and all
00:17:08.040
these uh and everything you do at the reawaken tour is you have dangerous speakers you're putting
00:17:13.040
out vile i think they call it vile uh misinformation so i just want to make sure where do people go to
00:17:18.720
actually see exactly what you folks have been doing on the tour and see the videos and see the
00:17:23.620
talks and see the panels and all that where they go and then where do they find out where the next
00:17:28.000
one if they want to come and participate and go to one for themselves and see how do they do all that
00:17:33.040
sir what we're going to do is first off everyone go to rumble.com and search for thrive time show and
00:17:37.560
we put out all the content for free so you can see every speaker eric trump general flynn cash patel

flynn i want to just pivot for a minute where i've got you because i know you're busy uh the 50th
00:19:28.000
anniversary of the end of the vietnam war the treaty that that ended it but then we were still there
00:19:32.280
until i think the last helicopter off was a couple years later and then the horrible killing fields
00:19:37.920
in cambodia and other places laos uh that that lasted for you know a decade uh give us your
00:19:45.060
thoughts sir on the on this 50th anniversary at the end of vietnam and and and and what what how
00:19:50.060
should that inform the nation on the decisions we're making in ukraine right now and so first of
00:19:56.640
all our military is is their mission is to fight and win our nation's wars and we have forgotten how
00:20:03.780
to win steve we participate in many wars for for decades now and we have forgotten how to win for
00:20:11.340
the vietnam veterans that uh are around today and there are many of them now i just want to say i want
00:20:16.540
to thank them for their service i think the number was about 50 000 that were killed in action and and
00:20:21.100
clearly tens and tens of thousands were were injured either either through you know uh i mean
00:20:27.540
just just war injuries the physical and also the emotional and mental war injuries so i want to thank
00:20:32.680
all the vietnam veterans that listen to your show and listen to this broadcast for their service i mean when
00:20:38.120
when we left vietnam it was a it was a really sad day for for america and then of course you you
00:20:45.140
mentioned the killing fields that's under pol pot and there were millions of millions of people
00:20:49.280
massacred so now let's fast forward to where we are today we just got out of we just left afghanistan
00:20:55.800
and there is a there are killing fields going on in afghanistan today and we most americans don't even
00:21:01.780
know that we're still sending taxpayer dollars now to the taliban to help them so it's this is insane
00:21:06.780
this is absolutely insane we spent 20 years in afghanistan so let's fast forward to ukraine we are
00:21:12.640
about to enter a war and i still haven't heard this administration even talk about any vital national
00:21:17.620
security objectives i don't know what our objectives are we are going to enter we're going to creep into
00:21:23.080
this war like we've crept into other wars like vietnam like afghanistan like iraq and we are going
00:21:30.080
to turn that this is going to be turned into an absolute disaster i mean you can't send the kinds of
00:21:36.520
weapon systems that we're sending to ukraine without putting boots on the ground and this is just this is
00:21:43.900
just more of the same i mean the the the 110 billion dollars with a b that we are giving to
00:21:50.620
zelenko or zelensky there i'm sorry zelensky over in ukraine is just outrageous i mean if you took a
00:21:58.480
hundred billion dollars and divided it by the 435 congressional districts in this country that's
00:22:03.280
200 million dollars per congressional district i bet a lot of your listeners don't don't realize that
00:22:08.680
kind of a stat and that kind of money could be flowing into this country instead of going over to
00:22:13.320
ukraine and into somebody's pocket this is bad steve for america this is bad for the world we are
00:22:19.800
about to enter potentially world war three and that the the uh talk of nuclear weapons is absolutely
00:22:27.520
outrageous it is definitely on the table because we're hearing it from both sides particularly out
00:22:32.240
of our own uh the current president occupying the white house talking about the use of nuclear weapons
00:22:37.520
i mean this is bad this is i don't know what else to say i i do i do want to leave you with
00:22:43.100
that our men and women serving in the military they deserve just they deserve the best leadership
00:22:48.920
that we can provide them and particularly on the political level and i just don't see that
00:22:54.040
happening and that includes both parties there are there are both parties that we have a lot of
00:22:58.640
republican senators that voted for this uh this bill going into this money going into ukraine and
00:23:04.120
you've got uh senators like senator lindsey graham that are pushing tanks our best tanks you can't just
00:23:10.260
send a tank in there without training them without you know managing all that so this is
00:23:14.380
this is crazy mike if you if you have a second if general flynn have a second let's play tom cotton to
00:23:20.860
that point i guess steve cortez general flynn let's play tom cotton on fox news your response to the
00:23:27.380
administration really defending this decision to continue to send in massive amounts of of aid to
00:23:33.380
ukraine sandra it's a welcome decision that president biden and germany have decided to
00:23:39.360
finally provide these tanks to ukraine but it's long overdue it also continues the pattern since
00:23:44.780
before the war started of president biden being scared of his own shadow of declining the military
00:23:50.780
support that the ukrainian army needs first to deter the war from starting in the first place and
00:23:56.760
then second to defend ukrainian territory and to fight back against russia's unprovoked war of
00:24:01.560
aggression and it's really an admission of their own mistakes not providing these tanks months ago
00:24:06.720
as you've seen time and time again for the last year when the administration explains that some
00:24:11.680
kind of weapon system or a certain kind of intelligence would be dangerously escalatory or
00:24:16.500
provocative only to provide it months later too late for it to have been used to stop further advances
00:24:22.140
or to facilitate further ukrainian advances so what we need to do to end this war to stop it from being
00:24:28.800
any more protracted or bloodier is to back ukraine's army to the hilt so they can defend their own
00:24:35.000
territory and senator it's trace gallagher just to kind of elaborate on your point there what's
00:24:40.960
happening in the briefing and you may have heard this the question was asked well what's next what
00:24:45.560
about fourth generation fighter jets and he said well i'm not going to comment on that meaning it it
00:24:50.480
appears that everything is on the table and as you say it was not to we're not talking about that 11 months
00:24:56.680
ago and now suddenly we're talking about the possibility of more equipment going over there
00:25:01.940
yeah and trace in some ways this goes back to the obama biden era as well you know back in 2014 when
00:25:07.880
russia first invaded ukraine ukraine pleaded for anti-tank missile systems known as javelins and
00:25:12.760
president obama refused to give them we started giving those under president trump thankfully that
00:25:16.880
helped fend off the initial attack on kiev and then continually over the last year that things have
00:25:22.380
been rolled off the table and then put back on the table you speak about jets if you recall last
00:25:27.220
february the secretary of state said that poland could provide jets to ukraine then immediately
00:25:32.220
president biden intervened and said no that would be dangerously escalatory okay those let me show you
00:25:37.420
the scam the scam is this is yesterday's financial times lockheed ramps up f-16 production as ukraine
00:25:44.240
allies debate sending jets without a purchase order they're already ramping up the f-16 production
00:25:51.260
already ramping it up they know they're going to get this this is as mike flynn says this is going
00:25:55.860
to lead you to a ground war and you're a massive ground war because we're telling the ukrainians we
00:25:59.840
want them to pivot away from defending bakhmut in these other cities in the east in the siege
00:26:06.360
warfare we're going to give them tanks uh we're going to give them a combat uh aircraft we're going
00:26:11.480
to give them missiles all that and we want them to pivot to maneuver combined arms maneuver
00:26:16.320
warfare to wait for it retake crimea this is what austin and milley and and and by the way it's
00:26:24.720
a thing in politico i've got it up on getter right now the taiwanese are concerned because the
00:26:29.420
production so far back on the m1 a1 tanks that the taiwanese who we have orders for think that the
00:26:36.380
ukrainian tank they may take the taiwanese tanks and send them to ukraine general flynn uh we got about
00:26:42.200
a minute sir your assessment of uh you know the book the book on world war one was called the
00:26:47.400
sleepwalkers are we sleepwalking into world war three sir yes so the answer that is yes i appreciate
00:26:53.860
tom cotton's service to our military you know he's a and he's a harvard man too right steve so you know
00:26:59.780
we have people don't know this but the depletion of our javelin weapon system for our own forces for
00:27:05.260
our own capabilities and for our own military is is at a is at a terrible rate right now so you know
00:27:11.640
when we talk about giving them tanks jets missiles we've already given them missiles the next thing
00:27:17.280
what is going to be sending the 82nd airborne division the first cav i mean the marine corps i
00:27:22.740
mean what is going to happen next tom cotton like many of the senators who are pushing for this thing
00:27:28.220
and on the republican side they they have forgotten what we just did in afghanistan which was a complete
00:27:35.780
and utter disaster we surrendered to the taliban and we left our own we left people behind enemy lines
00:27:43.240
to fend for themselves and we're about to go into ukraine against a formidable foe in russia
00:27:48.420
and and uh so yeah see this is not good we are leading ourselves into world war three we are
00:27:54.800
being led to world war three mike flynn how do people get to you what's your social media sir

patriots how important is it to the citizens of the united states to restore american sovereignty and to once
00:30:02.020
again guard the front door to our nation well according to the latest polling out from the economist and
00:30:07.940
you gov it is the top priority for the incoming congress 66 a huge supermajority support increased
00:30:16.160
border security again a bigger percentage than for any other issue including important ones like
00:30:22.080
investigations and the economy only 22 are opposed to increased border security this is very telling
00:30:28.700
among the subgroups looking at strong approve versus strong disapprove of more border security
00:30:33.780
even biden voters are in favor by 19 to 15 percent among independents a huge preponderance 40 percent
00:30:41.900
versus only 12 percent strong approve versus strong disapprove of more border security this is an imperative
00:30:48.860
and it happens to be politically popular so house gop let's get to work
00:30:53.720
okay steve cortez tom cotton who's a good man is sitting there talking about you know which will lead to
00:31:02.580
hundreds of billions of billions look it's nine trillion dollars according to brown university
00:31:06.540
nine trillion dollars in iraq and afghanistan and let's be blunt they were not victories okay they
00:31:12.960
were not victories um in in vietnam incalculable the the the damage done to the american people not
00:31:19.620
just the deaths and the ptsd but an entire generation so talk to me about talk to me about the border
00:31:26.140
versus uh we lost cortez do i have uh am i still up yes okay fine then we can rock and roll uh we lost
00:31:37.480
our gas but i'll talk here so here's what's going on this is an escalation that is uh massive this
00:31:44.680
escalation is absolutely and here's what we're talking about we just and here's what the scam is
00:31:50.520
we had uh you know we're talking about these tanks and we talk about tanks it's just oh don't give
00:31:56.620
them a tank this is entirely different type of warfare it is a maneuver warfare it's combined arms
00:32:03.800
warfare uh it uh it deals with uh with you know massive troop movements and the russians are not
00:32:11.020
going to just give up and so here's what we're doing right now we're installing them with uh we're
00:32:15.460
installing them with um uh hang on for one second we'll get to ukraine second that we we have an
00:32:22.220
entire different type of warfare and the goal is in the spring to have a massive assault on uh you on
00:32:29.120
crimea hey if the ukrainians want to do this that's their decision okay they're they're their own
00:32:35.740
country they can call their own shots if nato allies want to support that other allies ukraine is not
00:32:42.500
an ally with us and right now as we know nato's not an alliance it's a protectorate they refuse to
00:32:49.320
pay the what they're supposed to pay the two percent of gdp which they agreed to back in 2014
00:32:55.640
2015 story out the other day the british can't the british which are arguably the strongest army
00:33:01.600
of the group can't put forward really one combat division this is all going to be american money
00:33:07.080
it's all going to be american resources you got the 101st airborne on the border of ukraine right
00:33:12.320
there in romania ready to go in uh they're they're expanding this to a a massive massive conflict
00:33:18.160
at the same time and this was in a in a buried lead in a political story the buried lead in the
00:33:22.940
political story is that you've got right now taiwan which we must defend even if you don't believe in
00:33:29.260
in the moral obligation we have so taiwan let's say you leave that aside that is silicon valley west
00:33:34.660
okay the chinese communist party understand this they understand exactly what they've got to do do i
00:33:40.000
have cortez everybody's that cortez so cortez you saw the tom cotton hit you've seen yours about
00:33:45.380
where the american people are but the sovereignty of the country compare and contrast what's going on
00:33:50.780
in the resources and focus on the eastern russian speaking border of ukraine versus the southern border
00:33:56.800
of the united states of america sir in our sovereignty yes uh you know this present situation is really
00:34:02.680
illustrative of the massive gap the enormous chasm between what permanent washington prioritizes okay
00:34:10.120
people like tom cotton who unfortunately has completely surrendered on policy to permanent
00:34:15.800
washington uh he was one of those republican senators who joined joe biden just weeks ago to pass that
00:34:21.800
omnibus monstrosity he is now beating the war drums along with joe biden and lindsey graham to escalate
00:34:27.840
in ukraine and in fact in that clip amazingly claimed that joe biden is not escalatory enough
00:34:34.160
okay that is literally what permanent washington globalist act tom cotton now believes that joe
00:34:40.240
biden is not doing enough to instigate the conflict over in ukraine and to involve america
00:34:45.840
even further but at the same time that that is going on we do have a border crisis it's not the eastern
00:34:51.480
border of ukraine it is the southern border of the united states which is absolutely out of control
00:34:57.000
and according to data as compiled by the daily mail as well as recent statistics from customs and border
00:35:02.540
protection we now have over six million illegals over six million that have entered because they
00:35:08.000
have been incentivized and in fact invited to come into the united states because of joe biden the
00:35:13.240
american people recognize this thankfully are very aware that every town in america is indeed
00:35:17.960
a border town and i should say by the way that tom cotton is not at all representative of his great
00:35:23.060
state of arkansas a conservative salt of the earth state that believes in american sovereignty
00:35:28.520
arkansas itself is not on the border but it has become a border state every place has in america
00:35:33.940
unfortunately and you know that polling that i laid out there in the chalk talk shows that thankfully
00:35:39.340
this is one of these cases in washington dc where politicians steve can do the right thing and reap the
00:35:45.740
political benefits because it's incredibly popular right now this polling just came out from
00:35:50.860
economists and you gov and they presented a number of issues and a lot of them critically important
00:35:55.400
right to people like us for example investigating the origins of covid uh things like uh right writing
00:36:01.320
the american economy really really important issues but the most important issue when the american
00:36:05.840
people are polled in this new survey the most important issue is restoring the border restoring the
00:36:11.140
sovereignty of the united states as i showed even biden voters believe it or not recognize that we need
00:36:17.840
more border security among independents it's absolutely a home run and among republican voters
00:36:22.580
it's practically unanimous that this is the imperative for the incoming house so there's a lot of talk about
00:36:27.260
the economy lately and it's critically important as you know that's that's more my forte that's my lane
00:36:32.280
but i don't want us to forget when we when it comes down to these uh debt ceiling talks and when it comes
00:36:37.700
down to the priorities for the incoming house economy is absolutely critical but i think that border is even
00:36:43.740
more critical and as i've talked about and written about those two issues are intertwined they're
00:36:48.640
conjoined in many ways and interstrictly linked let me bring in bensman bensman what's going on right
00:36:55.100
now is the biden administration look at the polling the economists just did they understand that the
00:37:01.780
american people now even democrats and independents overwhelmingly republicans overwhelmingly maga but even
00:37:07.400
democrats understand the so and particularly hispanics understand the sovereignty issue what's happening
00:37:12.280
with the drugs with the crime with the trafficking the trafficking of children out of control you
00:37:17.840
you've called this that they're going to hide this behind a new process that actually makes a super
00:37:23.300
highway and destroys our asylum laws also in addition or even plays them worse than planned but in addition
00:37:30.380
this is going to be a national security issue because actually who's coming across walk me through you later sir
00:37:36.080
okay so one of the big selling points that the administration makes for this re-channeling
00:37:45.000
through illegal ports of entry people that were going to run over the border is that hey listen don't
00:37:50.700
worry about it we're going to vet uh rigorously they use the word rigorously vet the backgrounds of
00:37:58.080
everybody who comes through this program but the four biggest nationalities that they just added to the
00:38:04.300
program are cuba venezuela haiti and nicaragua well three of those four are diplomatically hostile to the
00:38:14.220
united states and vice versa we are not going to be able to do security vetting using anything that
00:38:22.120
they have they are not going in fact quite the opposite those nations are going to be happy to ship
00:38:28.140
their criminals over our border and will do nothing whatsoever to help us filter out their worst
00:38:34.280
worst of the worst coming from those and the fourth one haiti and these represent 360 000 in a year
00:38:40.660
haiti's a basket case they don't even have a database or a police force that can arrest criminals over
00:38:49.920
there the criminals run that country so that's out too and furthermore those are just four of the
00:38:56.720
countries we are uh have been allowing for eight months people from syria into the country from
00:39:03.900
afghanistan from all of the nations of the middle east and from russia crossing in from russia
00:39:09.280
does anybody think that the assad government of syria is going to give us an intel share
00:39:14.620
no uh the vast majority of these people can't be vetted for security and we are going to be importing
00:39:21.960
a massive stranger danger into this country hang on hang on but they're also dumping they're opening up the
00:39:29.220
prisons this is what's happening in venezuela and you're getting the worst of the worst coming up here
00:39:34.840
they're going to open up the prisons and the jails get them out of the country and dump them into the
00:39:38.540
united states todd how do people get to you to see this latest report the book all your writings where they go
00:39:44.680
right the piece where i'm pointing out this that this is absurd the security vetting uh promise is
00:39:52.720
at cis.org under todd bensman you can read most of my work there and also just todd bensman.com
00:40:00.400
go there as well and my book is overrun coming out in just a few more weeks
00:40:06.140
it's unbelievable uh todd incredible work you've been ahead of this and on it and uh what you're
00:40:13.060
doing is a great service to your country thank you sir todd bensman of cis
00:40:16.880
cortez let's go back to this for a second um because it's cortez here's the thing and this
00:40:25.780
is why the house has got to get on this right away you agree it's getting worse and they're getting
00:40:30.860
more blatant about what they're doing here on destroying this country through an invasion at
00:40:35.540
the same time wag the dog they're trying to generate they're trying to gin up a third world war
00:40:40.860
there's no other rational way to look at this if you took to patten and montgomery and even
00:40:46.920
churchill who had this obsession with the balkans right if you talk to fdr and general marshall and
00:40:52.260
all of them eisenhower you pick them if you said that we're going to get into a ground we were
00:40:57.620
going to send tanks to get in a ground war a couple of hundred miles from stalingrad and you know
00:41:02.240
five or six hundred miles from kursk where the biggest tank battle in history was
00:41:05.900
in in in on the eurasian landmass they would dismiss you in 10 seconds there's not even up for
00:41:12.960
conversation we are driving and remember these people are not prepared they're not trained for
00:41:17.540
abrams tanks or f-16 fighters it takes the smart look we got the best military in the world powerful
00:41:22.960
pound you we are driving we the bryden regime is driving with tom cotton and lindsey graham and lindsey
00:41:29.740
graham shouldn't be near donald trump tomorrow in south carolina until he repudiates everything he
00:41:35.140
stands on ukraine president trump linds herring is over john solomon's on just the news giving a
00:41:40.580
magnificent interview saying president trump's going to lay out tomorrow new hampshire which
00:41:44.180
we're going to cover here wall to wall on war room and we're going to stick around do post-game
00:41:48.240
commentary he's going to lay out how's a deal maker he would get him in a room and make a deal and call
00:41:53.240
this thing off right cortez as you hear benjamin and you see what's happening in the prisons you see
00:41:59.520
who's coming up here the national security risk and how they're gaming the system compare and contrast
00:42:04.880
the wag the dog in the ukraine sir sure no listen and the american people need to be very aware of
00:42:10.860
this exact stark contrast that you're speaking about and it's a very appropriate day to talk about
00:42:15.820
it because it's the day when america effectively surrendered in vietnam right a war that we got
00:42:21.640
into supposedly by only providing advisors at first okay talk about a slippery slope uh vietnam
00:42:27.880
certainly was one and i would argue that ukraine is an even more dangerous one right now because it's a
00:42:33.540
direct at least in vietnam it was sort of proxy versus proxy against the soviet union in this case
00:42:38.680
it's actual u.s against russia what we might very well be be delving into but you know regarding that
00:42:44.420
contrast of not protecting our own border uh the 101st airborne we've talked about has been deployed
00:42:50.440
from fort campbell from kentucky and tennessee over to romania right on the border okay thousands of
00:42:56.360
troops and it's been announced that they are going to stay there for at least another nine months think of
00:43:00.520
how dangerous this current situation is and the fact that we have forward deployed uh such troops
00:43:05.800
the brave warriors of the united states while at the same time not using those kinds of resources
00:43:10.740
not using the military not being serious in any sense about protecting our very own border which is
00:43:16.980
being totally overrun steve hanger for one second cortez we're gonna get dave bratt we got more on this
00:43:24.340

i would not rule out american troops on the ground and i sure as hell am not interested in a nuclear war
00:45:50.280
with russia first strike first strike these people are insane you know we don't rule out uh first use
00:45:58.220
nuclear first use nuclear they take about 30 minutes to reach their target so do theirs right this is not
00:46:08.140
an exercise over 300 missiles on the ground so do you know we don't rule out uh first use nuclear
00:46:46.160
did you see that neither did i you know why it's so fast even the photographers don't seem to
00:46:57.280
be able to follow this thing that you had democrats on the show right before me being quoted as saying
00:47:02.200
we need to be tougher i support that and i appreciate that i think they they represent the fear that we have
00:47:09.240
the realization that we have in the congress anyone who would propose or even consider
00:47:14.240
what he is saying as an option must be insane a sociopath or a sadist because let's just understand here so he's saying
00:47:22.320
let's go and launch a nuclear attack that would start a war that would destroy
00:47:26.220
the american people our country and the world and also the ukrainians so that we can save ukraine's democracy
00:47:34.240
mr president the courage of ukrainians presents us with an opportunity as the war approaches its
00:47:42.380
second year congress must once again lead the administration to ramp up military aid to ukraine
00:47:48.820
to drive toward victory we should all want ukraine to win the war lately with this nuclear war stuff
00:47:57.720
i have been having anxiety attacks and i started having one start the last segment when i looked at the
00:48:03.280
news and was about to cover it i just couldn't do it because i have children and i'm pissed off and
00:48:10.600
there's a really good chance we're all gonna die and i'm i'm tired of this and i'm sick of the new
00:48:15.940
world order and i'm sick of the criminals that run washington
00:48:18.460
see i'm sorry and i tell you it's because i'm not turning this desk over and i'm not smashing stuff
00:48:26.800
because that's what i really feel like doing but instead of doing that let me just take a deep breath
00:48:33.120
and just pray to god to cause a global awakening which is starting to happen and that we just have
00:48:38.040
uh dave brett let me bring you in one of the reasons in vietnam that that it uh it it ended like it ended
00:48:48.520
we never really got focus on exactly what the objectives were and what we were there for
00:48:53.040
uh you're a constitutional conservative you're a limited government conservative
00:48:57.500
is it time now that the republican party must force the biden regime to come to congress and to lay out
00:49:07.180
to the american people exactly what the objectives are in ukraine what is our task and purpose in ukraine
00:49:14.400
the amount of money we're going to need the the involvement of american advisors maintenance logisticians
00:49:21.080
uh training personnel as steve cortez said what in the hell is the 101st airborne now in the second
00:49:28.420
year of their deployment they're on the border of ukraine in romania day brett
00:49:32.640
yeah absolutely and and all the war hawks right if you're so confident in your position
00:49:40.140
and you're calling for tanks uh let me see the war authority put forward in the senate with your name on
00:49:46.860
right so you can go down in history uh taking responsibility for this and same in the house
00:49:51.860
uh so speaker mccarthy i give him applauded the other day man he stepped up up to the plate and did
00:49:57.320
some heavy lifting on the committee work uh but basically what you're asking for uh fits across
00:50:03.040
the board right we the american people are due underneath our republican form of government
00:50:08.380
an explanation of of what this war is going to achieve why how does it put us in better shape
00:50:14.040
and you've been beating the drums same thing on the economy on the budget where are the numbers
00:50:19.180
where's your plan right and so all these books called sleepwalking are right on target we've been
00:50:24.800
sleepwalking with the federal reserve for 30 years i got a few slides if you want me to pop those up on
00:50:29.600
the economy uh that will result and show you that 50 percent of the american people are getting three
00:50:35.860
percent of the economic rewards from our economy 50 percent of the american people the populace
00:50:42.500
are getting only three percent of the economic rewards from our assets on the on the on the
00:50:47.960
you know the stock exchanges the s&p 500 that kind of thing and so yeah it's the same thing across the
00:50:53.720
board and then where's the plan on the border of course there's no plan for the border uh and so
00:50:58.800
uh that's up to the american people right so we got to flip it right the the on the macro econ side
00:51:05.020
uh the economists and the elites all just want to run a a machine called the macro economy uh because
00:51:12.280
they don't care about you at all they care about getting some output cranking uh and then reaping
00:51:19.120
the rewards through the stock markets and their timing and the special access they have to inside
00:51:23.760
information they don't care about you uh and so the grassroots we need to take control of the economy
00:51:29.860
uh and it's on us too right that education is extremely important how are your kids doing are
00:51:35.800
you training them in do they know history do they know the history of warfare do they know religion
00:51:40.620
philosophy economics engineering technology or are they you know specializing in social media
00:51:47.720
uh and that type of thing all day every day we we all need if we have a revolution from beneath
00:51:54.260
right from the microeconomic side and we all engage and do excellent work in our small businesses
00:52:00.420
uh we can take over the economy uh just by taking over the economy and we got to quit relying on the
00:52:07.160
feds uh and if you if you want to pop up a couple of those slides i'll just go right to the end
00:52:11.960
hang on we're gonna go into the 11 we're gonna take a 90 second break and get to that uh and this is
00:52:19.440
what we're trying to do we're demanding and we need the war room posse to step up here
00:52:24.100
the the the biden regime has to come forward with their financial and economic plan it's they've
00:52:29.880
taken an untenable position no negotiation and a clean debt ceiling that is untenable that's what
00:52:35.720
they told america we're not going to negotiate and we need a clean debt ceiling i guarantee you
00:52:40.780
ladies and gentlemen in this great fight we have ahead have ahead of us it's money good that the final
00:52:47.020
deal will not be a clean debt ceiling okay also biden needs to go to congress
00:52:53.860
and lay out the war plan in ukraine we need to see it and we need to see it today short break
