this is what you're fighting for i mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing
00:00:19.280
people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the
00:00:26.240
authoritarians get total control and total power because this is just like in arizona this is just
00:00:32.080
like in georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and
00:00:36.800
misrepresentations is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is
00:00:41.120
the fight all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's
00:00:48.160
your host stephen k bannon as you stating your testimony byte dance is tick tock's parent company
00:00:55.120
is it accurate to say that you are in regular communication with the ceo of bite dance
00:00:59.760
leon robo chair rogers yes i am in thank you communication with them okay
00:01:08.080
kelly jong is the ceo of bite dance china overseeing doyen the chinese version of tick tock are you in
00:01:15.840
regular communication with kelly i'm not in regular communication with her the bite dance editor-in-chief
00:01:24.400
is zong puping correct i believe so and wu shu gang is beijing bite dance technology board member
00:01:36.800
and also an official of the cyberspace administration in china is this correct
00:01:40.640
uh i believe so i they are not in the right thank you all of these individuals work or affiliated with
00:01:49.040
the chinese communist party are not the highest levels of leadership at bite dance a company where
00:01:54.400
you previously served as the chief financial officer where you regularly communicate with their ceo
00:02:00.240
tick tock has told us that you weren't sharing data with the ccp but leaked audio from within tick tock is
00:02:06.800
proven otherwise tick tock told us that you weren't tracking the geolocation of american citizens you
00:02:12.560
were tick tock told us you weren't spying on journalists you were in your testimony you state
00:02:17.600
that bite dance is not beholden to the ccp again each of the individuals i listed are affiliated with
00:02:22.960
the chinese communist party including zong fuping who is reported to be the the communist party secretary
00:02:29.760
of bite dance and who has called for the party committee to quote take the lead across all party
00:02:36.000
lines to ensure the algorithm is enforced by quote correct political direction just this morning the wall
00:02:44.000
street journal reported that the ccp is opposed to a forced sale of tick tock by bite dance quoting
00:02:50.560
a ccp spokesman as saying the chinese government would make a decision regarding any sale of tick tock
00:02:57.760
so the ccp believes they have the final say over your company i have zero confidence in your
00:03:03.040
assertion that bite dance and tick tock are not beholden to the ccp jay is investigating this this
00:03:08.560
surveillance right now to the american people watching today hear this tick tock is a weapon by
00:03:16.320
the chinese communist party to spy on you manipulate what you see and exploit for future generations
00:03:21.520
a ban is only a short-term way to address tick tock and a data privacy bill is the only way to stop tick
00:03:28.720
tock from ever happening again in the united states i yield back i now yield to the ranking
00:03:35.920
member for five minutes the ceo of tick tock which claims to be an american company now or an international
00:03:42.480
company was in front of congress today his name is sho chu this is the first time he's really
00:03:49.520
i think spoken publicly in an extended uh period four and a half hours he was grilled
00:03:55.520
and it was absolutely brutal this is the first time i've seen a congressional hearing that was
00:04:01.360
bipartisan in a long time and he said that quote uh the bottom line is this is an american date this is
00:04:10.000
american data on american soil by an american company overseen by american personnel and then was immediately
00:04:18.800
squirrely when asked if chinese employees including engineers have access to this us data and he said
00:04:26.400
this is a complex subject over and over again he was evasive and this did not look good for tick tock
00:04:36.000
well the question now becomes does it become divested and go public or does it get shut down
00:04:41.520
sacks i think his goose was cooked as soon as they asked him the question
00:04:45.120
in preparation for this hearing did you consult with any member of the ccp and he could not just
00:04:50.640
outright say no nope so that's his goose was cooked as soon as he couldn't just say no what
00:04:55.520
do you think about the bipartisan nature of this and what do you think the outcome is sex well this
00:04:58.960
is one of the rare things where it is bipartisan i mean there's there there is so much uh outrage and
00:05:04.000
anger at this i think that they should let the company divest it i think it is divestiture or
00:05:10.960
shut down for tick tock since we're not communists here i think they should be given the chance to
00:05:15.520
fully divest to an american-owned company but look i just wish that there was as much bipartisan
00:05:24.240
consensus and outrage directed not just at chinese spying of americans but on the american deep state
00:05:31.760
spying on americans because we just had hearings showing that the american government conducts
00:05:37.520
elaborate spying operations surveillance of americans on social media this was all revealed
00:05:42.720
in the twitter files and we got certainly no bipartisan consensus on that republicans were outraged
00:05:49.120
but democrats tried to portray it as some sort of spat between trump and chrissy tegan i mean that's all
00:05:54.160
they wanted to talk about so i would like to see this problem comprehensively addressed and that means
00:06:01.280
i think tick tock going into the hands of an american company but i also would like more assurances
00:06:07.280
that american companies will not be working with the deep state to spy on us and infringe on
00:06:15.040
okay friday 24 march year of early 2023 i want to uh bring in doug wardlow uh doug is an expert in
00:06:21.600
this area he was a partner uh with some of the top guys in the in the trump administration uh on the
00:06:28.320
trade side over at scadden arps um doug give me your assessment by the way david sacks is there is
00:06:34.560
correct about the administrative state in the in the in the deep state but he is um i would like
00:06:42.160
to have he's very close to elon musk i think he's part of the operating group that runs it i would like
00:06:46.400
to have twitter actually show more than just the twitter files we think there's a lot more there
00:06:50.880
number one number two we uh we keep saying we'd like the full disclosure of elon musk of the ownership
00:06:57.440
of the ccp through the joint venture in shanghai and also so how do you have sequoia capital
00:07:04.240
sequoia capital is a front for the chinese cameras party in silicon valley um doug uh walk us through
00:07:10.640
you've got a new podcast out where you go in detail talk to me yesterday about what you thought when you
00:07:16.160
saw the ceo to me it showed the arrogance of it because there whatever it when he didn't lie
00:07:23.520
under oath or perjure himself he was very evasive or just reflective and it shows you they don't fear
00:07:29.680
the united states modi pulled the app the first day years ago he wouldn't allow he wouldn't even
00:07:35.760
think about allowing tiktok to poison the brains of the young kids in india plus collect all that
00:07:43.680
data give us your thoughts absolutely and thanks for having me on steve and thank you so much for
00:07:48.080
taking the lead on this incredibly important issue you know tiktok is an offensive weapon probably
00:07:52.000
the principal offensive weapon that china has in its information war against the united states
00:07:57.120
and this is all part of its unrestricted warfare where they're attacking us constantly through
00:08:01.680
different avenues unconventional means including financial warfare trade warfare information warfare
00:08:07.920
propaganda surveillance espionage they're doing all these different things to attack us i think
00:08:13.280
china's goal the ccp's goal is to have america crumble from within they want to take down america
00:08:18.800
they don't want to have to fire a shot to do it and if they have tiktok in place together with their
00:08:23.600
plans to utilize artificial intelligence together with tiktok they can do that they have a huge
00:08:29.120
tool at their disposal and watching that testimony yesterday of the ceo of tiktok now either he was lying
00:08:34.960
or he was dodging uh all of the questions he wouldn't say whether he had met with a member of the ccp
00:08:40.720
prior to his testimony and then he was asked by representative lesko representative lesko whether
00:08:46.960
he would condemn uh the ccp for its uh genocide of the uyghurs or its persecution of the uyghurs
00:08:53.760
he refused to answer that question three different times so obviously he was concerned about his masters
00:08:59.760
over at the ccp uh seeing what he was saying so he could not say anything negative about the ccp but
00:09:05.600
clearly he's under the thumb of the ccp and bite dance is clearly uh part and parcel of the ccp there
00:09:11.760
is a uh earlier this month a uh research report was submitted to the australian select senate select
00:09:18.800
committee on uh foreign interference in social media and that report was all about bite dance and tiktok
00:09:25.920
and its possible influence outside of china and that they concluded by looking at chinese language sources
00:09:32.160
that bite dance is clearly part and parcel of ccp clearly has those ties john fu ping uh one of the
00:09:38.480
bite dance vice presidents is the secretary of the the company's internal ccp committee so he's
00:09:44.720
basically the liaison to the ccp and under chinese law bite dance has to give the ccp access to all the
00:09:50.960
data that they have access to uh at tiktok that's chinese law and you know one thing interesting you
00:09:56.960
know divestiture i don't know if that's going to solve this problem because it matters who you sell
00:10:00.560
the company too right there could be ccp ties into whatever whoever the buyer is and you know
00:10:05.600
the fact of the matter is china releasing its statement yesterday saying that they would oppose
00:10:09.280
any divestiture or say oh that's very interesting timing because they're not stupid and they must
00:10:13.120
have realized that would get people to push for a divestiture right so you have to question what's
00:10:17.200
going on there so there are a lot of complex things around this tiktok situation but the only answer
00:10:21.680
here is shutting it down we need a complete ban this is uh the financial times of london uh today's paper
00:10:29.120
they talk about the evasive nature but clearly what they want to avoid uh doug and you've nailed it
00:10:36.080
and by the way your your years with bob lighthizer president trump's trade uh negotiated trade rep
00:10:42.560
obviously did you well over there at scadden but it let's talk about that i kind of got a little bit
00:10:47.520
lit up on i guess twitter uh although you're in my getter account because i said this thing's got to be
00:10:52.400
shut down it's 150 million people are gassed we kind of guess it's 150 million americans i think
00:10:59.200
are on twitter principle i gotta assume it's it's 80 or 90 percent under a certain age like 25 or 30
00:11:06.000
but i think the statistic they gave us 30 million americans this is their principal news source this
00:11:11.920
is their principal news source this is just like the ccp covet 19 was an offensive biological weapon
00:11:19.200
that i still believe inadvertently leaked out of the lab it was not lit off on purpose although
00:11:24.640
the attention in time they intended to light it off and but they exacerbated it once it leaked out
00:11:30.560
of the lab this is an offensive uh weapon for unrestricted warfare as we we've talked a lot about
00:11:38.000
do you i want you to go make the case again because what they're saying oh no no no we'll sell it to
00:11:42.880
microsoft or we'll sell it to disney we'll sell it to anybody else what is the case doug
00:11:48.960
wardlow for shutting down the app it needs to be shut down absolutely because china the ccp already
00:11:54.960
has its claws into it its tentacles into it whoever they sell they sell it to they're going to have
00:12:00.000
ways to get into tiktok and its technology regardless of who owns it and they'll probably
00:12:04.160
have control over that company or some influence over that company as well clearly the ccp isn't
00:12:08.880
too concerned about divestiture or else they wouldn't have released a statement saying they were opposed
00:12:12.160
to it right before sho chu went and testified to congress because they must have known what kind
00:12:17.440
of reaction that would create so it's pretty obvious that they would like divestiture as opposed
00:12:22.000
to an outright ban so we should always have the principle that we do whatever the ccp doesn't want
00:12:25.840
us to do and that is we need to outright ban the app that's the only safe thing to do here and you know
00:12:30.960
it is a huge offensive war uh weapon in their information war in their under strict unrestricted
00:12:35.840
warfare against the united states there are basically two sets of risks right around tiktok one is
00:12:40.640
privacy risks surveillance espionage getting information on people even extortion against members of the
00:12:45.600
government that can influence policy that way but also you have we have to be very concerned this
00:12:49.680
is probably the bigger risk is the propaganda and information warfare side of the equation
00:12:53.280
where they can influence all those you know 30 million or so americans who use tiktok regularly one
00:12:58.080
in six uh teenagers in the united states admitted to or said that they use tiktok almost constantly
00:13:04.480
and one in three american teenagers has used the app so that's a huge number the global reach of
00:13:10.240
tiktok about one billion users every single month actively use tiktok and that continues to grow it's
00:13:15.840
the fastest adoption of any app in the history of apps right so this thing is enormous has enormous
00:13:21.440
influence and then you consider the fact that china has been cultivating its artificial intelligence
00:13:26.560
sector in 2017 they released a new generation they call it new generation artificial intelligence
00:13:31.440
strategic plan and they have hit milestones all along the way investing enormous amounts of money and
00:13:36.320
and bringing together talent stealing talent from all over the world to build up their artificial
00:13:40.480
intelligence capabilities but think about that when you combine with tiktok that means that they could
00:13:44.000
use artificial intelligence to micro target uh potentially the most amenable folks in the united
00:13:49.760
states to receive their propaganda people that they think they could influence they could that could
00:13:54.240
all be done automatically and then content propaganda content could be created automatically by the ai
00:13:59.120
and then push through deep fake accounts and deep fake profiles and things like that by the ai to these people
00:14:04.640
so that opens up the door for propaganda on a scale we've never seen before and couldn't have been
00:14:09.440
accomplished through through purely human efforts so this is a huge huge problem that could sway elections
00:14:15.200
influence policy cause you know they could also push out anti-american um propaganda and and you know
00:14:21.040
lift up leftist ridiculous narratives about crt and or the trans agenda and and that they want this
00:14:26.800
country to crumble from within that's the only way the ccp or ccp survives because their economy is weak and
00:14:32.880
they're in big trouble right now let's i want to show you mention uh debbie lesko the congressman from
00:14:40.240
arizona let's go ahead and play if memphis can play the clip and show this shows you not just the
00:14:45.200
arrogance it also shows you the pressure the ceos under to uh be a running dog for beijing how you
00:14:50.960
can't get off of their official narrative let's go and play the clip yield to the lady from arizona
00:14:56.400
miss let's go for five minutes thank you madam chair mr chu do you agree that the chinese government
00:15:02.880
has persecuted the uyghur population congresswoman you if you use our app and you open it you will
00:15:10.800
find our users who have all sorts of my question my question is do you agree that the chinese government
00:15:18.000
has persecuted the uyghur population well it's deeply concerning to hear about all accounts of
00:15:24.080
human rights abuse my role here is to explain what our platform does on this it's a pretty easy
00:15:30.320
question do you agree that the chinese government has persecuted the uyghur population congresswoman i'm
00:15:37.040
here to discard but tick tock and what we do as a platform and as a platform we allow our users to
00:15:41.440
freely express on this issue that matters to them well you didn't answer the question
00:15:48.000
uh avoided the question is this the way a great power the united states is supposed to be a hegemon
00:15:54.080
is this the way a great power conducts itself doug wardlow against our greatest existential threat the
00:15:59.600
the criminal gang in beijing the chinese communist party uh is that we just let one of their running
00:16:05.520
dogs come over here and just lie and deflect and when you have this congressional hearing sir
00:16:11.280
absolutely we should not be doing that you know we need to take a much more aggressive stance much
00:16:14.880
more aggressive posture towards the ccp and recognize just as you said that the ccp is the
00:16:19.920
greatest force for evil in the world they are out to get the united states they want to pull us down
00:16:23.760
off her pedestal as the leader of the free world they want to supplant they want to take over that
00:16:29.040
position but it won't be a free world it'll be a very very fun free world when china is in control and
00:16:35.360
taking that top position that's what they want to do and you know so we need to respond in kind
00:16:41.120
they're engaging in all these different forms of warfare against us not conventional warfare but
00:16:45.040
information warfare trade warfare we need to turn around and do exactly the same thing to them we
00:16:48.880
need to arm taiwan to the hills we should recognize taiwan formally and you know and make sure that china
00:16:54.240
knows that if they ever consider invading taiwan with a military invasion that we will be there to
00:16:59.040
defend taiwan and stop them that's the only way to prevent them from from doing that the only way we
00:17:03.280
can be sure that they will never have that war is to do exactly that so we need to take a number of
00:17:07.440
steps and be very aggressive on all fronts call out the ccp for its human rights violations impose
00:17:12.160
tariffs impose sanctions get the rest of the west basically to do the same thing if we do all those
00:17:17.600
things we can isolate china and the ccp their economy is fragile right now that regime will tumble
00:17:23.200
they will fall we can topple that regime the chinese people will rise up the chinese people want
00:17:27.520
freedom you know there were protests just a few months ago where were people in the streets of
00:17:31.920
shanghai and beijing and elsewhere were chanting ccp stepped down and that's unprecedented chinese
00:17:37.520
people calling out for that and they have been having protests you know elderly folks the white
00:17:42.080
paper revolution but also the white hair revolution where people are upset about changes to health care
00:17:46.480
in china and elderly people are protesting all over the country and those protests are all being brutally
00:17:50.720
suppressed but it's a tinderbox over there china knows that they have a short window of time to
00:17:56.080
basically implement their plans bring down the united states you you you know that you know this
00:18:02.160
from your time with bob lighthazer as one of your partners who's the the hardest and toughest trade
00:18:07.280
negotiator we've ever had he was president trump's trade negotiator if we totally cut off the chinese
00:18:13.360
communist party today from all access to western capital bank loans bond market uh equity and hedge funds
00:18:22.320
anything and and any cut them off from that and stopped all investment in china and cut them off
00:18:28.080
immediately from all technology transfers any access to western technology and really played hard
00:18:33.680
ball with them about stealing our technology how long would it take for lao baijing to over how long
00:18:39.040
would the chinese communist party last do you think doug wordlow i think it would last maybe six months
00:18:43.600
six months at most i mean they would be facing you know if we put sanctions on on them and we do all
00:18:48.720
those things described put tariffs on their exports their economy crumbles it's already crumbling their
00:18:53.680
the real property sector is is in disarray things are already falling apart it wouldn't take too long
00:18:59.120
there would be a general uprising they would have to step down there would be no other choice it would
00:19:02.880
be complete chaos and it wouldn't take too long i mean they're facing a water crisis a food crisis uh
00:19:07.680
there would be hungry people in the streets and but the only remedy with them would be to to rise up
00:19:12.560
overfill the government and then bring in a free and republican china that would be a good thing for the
00:19:16.880
world of the united states it's really the only way that we can make sure we're guaranteeing
00:19:20.560
america's national security by the way colonel uh grant newsham the author of the new book when
00:19:27.040
china attacks i asked him that question i did not give doug doug's a colleague and a friend but i
00:19:31.360

it can't happen hey the guardian whether you like it or hate it it's still one of the most serious
00:20:57.680
papers and best edited papers in the world this was their lead story the other morning when i sent it
00:21:02.160
to to to brother walsh dave what is happening here they say they're going to go after him on homicide
00:21:07.600
charges how realistic yeah this is a paper that has been approved now to be put in the um harvard
00:21:16.160
environmental review it's been accepted for publication it's by a guy named don bramin he's
00:21:21.600
a gw law professor and david arkus who's the uh head of a um a extreme weather group uh called
00:21:30.240
the this is about the case for climate homicide it's called that's the article case for climate
00:21:35.440
homicide before these guys have been all over you know you know oil companies defrauding investors
00:21:40.640
racketeering misleading the public but now they're into asserting the theory that criminal and homicide
00:21:46.400
charges can now be levied against oil companies for their cause of extreme weather events sea level
00:21:52.640
rise and other matters this is in the nature of what's called attribution science and that is that
00:21:57.680
you connect one thing to another old weather change sea level rise neither of which are actually
00:22:03.120
occurring by actual data to cause by sea of man-caused co2 three percent of all co2 is man-caused
00:22:10.800
and therefore the oil companies are causing it yeah this this is uh it's absurd it it fortunately is a
00:22:18.560
is an article only uh hopefully it goes nowhere but this you know the the government has used oil for
00:22:25.120
a hundred years used it to win the first war the second war we've used it to fuel our entire
00:22:30.320
government fleet state government city governments federal government the government
00:22:34.400
issues permits drill on federal lands federal ocean waters uh issues permits to export lng and oil
00:22:41.680
to the oil majors so somehow you know they'd be wrapped up in this too therefore this whole ideation
00:22:46.320
has no legs but it it shows the absurdity in the middle of the week no but hang on but hang
00:22:51.360
on hang on it has it has no legs now people said that about reparations and you've got city council
00:22:57.120
in in in and i'm not saying this is going to go anywhere but it still gets you have congressmen
00:23:01.360
talking about reparations you got the city council in san francisco is what passing 20 billion dollars
00:23:06.720
or a trillion dollars i want to go back to this because this is not just about all executives that's
00:23:13.120
where they want to start i want to make sure everybody understands this go back they're making a case
00:23:17.360
because of what they call climate damage for homicide charges for murder charges against
00:23:24.240
executives of oil companies eventually they'll get to investors of oil companies and eventually
00:23:28.640
politicians like donald trump and others like myself that said we got to get out of the parent
00:23:34.240
climate accord just walk through once again we got a couple minutes the theory of the case they make
00:23:39.040
for homicide charges about climate change well their underpinning logic is that the case presented by the
00:23:45.760
major oil companies that man caused co2 has not caused climate damage has been a falsified case has
00:23:53.360
been a contrived case and has been lied about and that somehow every all the rest of us have bought into
00:23:59.520
this false major oil company case that that you know co2 emanating from petroleum use is not harmful that
00:24:08.640
they have been the progenitor of that whole that whole theory that it's not harmful and there we've all been
00:24:14.960
harmed by including governments have bought into the logic of oil companies that this isn't harmful
00:24:20.400
that's just patently not true i mean governments have been promoting the united nations ipcc along with
00:24:27.040
about about 15 countries actively promoting that uh a notion that man caused co2 is liable to kill us
00:24:35.120
it hasn't been that theory has not come from the oil companies defeating it it's come from governments
00:24:41.360
themselves it's a but that's the theory of the case that they've been falsely promoting
00:24:46.000
the safety of petroleum products therefore are defrauding investors and are criminal and have
00:24:52.240
been committing homicide by promoting that case that that this this theory would be has been an accepted
00:24:58.240
case it hasn't been an accepted case the whole thing the whole thing is it's it's beyond absurd
00:25:04.720
but but but but right now it's these are professors or one of the professors lead guys at a gw george
00:25:12.640
washington university here and it's been accepted it's accepted into the harvard what is harvard what is
00:25:18.720
harvard my uh the place i got a sheepskin from uh what harvard's accepted this paper to do what
00:25:26.240
in their in their they have in the harvard business review apparently i didn't know they have
00:25:30.880
the harvard environmental review it's also a monthly uh publication by harvard on the environment
00:25:37.040
generally championing thoughts of this kind of nature but this is this is why but this is but
00:25:42.080
this is the way but this is the way it's like the harvard business review you you have articles in
00:25:46.960
there it gets into the business intellectuals and two years later it's in mckinsey and three years
00:25:52.400
later it's in corporate america that's how these things work that the railhead of the thinking
00:25:57.120
comes from these prestigious universities i tell you what dave hang on for a second because i i
00:26:02.000
want to take a break i've got uh russ vote is coming on but i want to hold you i want to talk
00:26:06.960
about our grid i can't tell you don't think it's too crazy they're coming hard this is the lead
00:26:12.720
story of the guardian so it's starting to get some support i'm not saying they're going to be
00:26:16.240
indicting grand juries are not going to be indicting oral executives uh next week but hey when they sit
00:26:21.920
there and this is how serious they are they go climate change uh is grounds for homicide charges
00:26:29.200
okay it's climate change is grounds for homicide charges just remember where you heard it first
00:26:35.760
that hey don't laugh this stuff off it sounds absurd it sounds absurd today but there's a lot of things
00:26:41.920
that sounded quite absurd that we see what the action is has been okay we're gonna take a short
00:26:47.360
break dave walsh gonna hang with us russ vote the battle of the ages is before us and that it has
00:26:54.000
everything to do with spending if we don't get control of spending we don't get control of spending

00:30:21.800
spending is a given there is no evidence and no receipts that the republicans have ever cared or
00:30:29.120
will care about reducing spending i hope they do going forward but there's no evidence the democrats
00:30:34.360
of sports just said on spending our left of mouse they don't so that's a given spending is going to
00:30:38.720
go up if you want to get the attention of the american people and of the left and of the republicans
00:30:44.340
and the federal reserve and the printing process that allows them to spend you don't have to you
00:30:49.680
can still have a central bank like peter said with a monetary rule following john taylor and the
00:30:53.300
smartest guys that have ever lived right so this is nothing radical and we survive quite nicely
00:30:58.240
without them without inflation and lower inflation by the way before the fed so that's issue number
00:31:03.060
one issue number two is the job of the congress is to write law and right now the federal reserve is
00:31:07.980
operating under two mandates and they're just making stuff up they're giving stuff to the rich
00:31:12.220
and they're not giving the same stuff to the poor it's an insult to our intelligence and saying that
00:31:16.920
you know we can do pronoun studies and that might help unemployment if that's allowed under the law in
00:31:23.040
their mandate then the law is meaningless and the congress needs to get on this and they need to
00:31:28.240
rewrite the fed mandate for something that will actually help the american people wow
00:31:33.440
russ vote uh let me you we're back live uh that was dave brad who was a member of congress remember
00:31:40.980
he was a fire breather he was such a fire breather on cutting spending they they basically didn't help
00:31:45.660
him at all in a re-election lame lose the span burger in fact he told me they stopped inviting
00:31:50.400
him to the meetings because he was such a fire breather on cutting spending uh leading into the waco
00:31:56.060
weekend of course president trump's going to start kick off really the big rally campaign
00:31:59.900
tomorrow we're going to do wall-to-wall coverage where are we sir in the and the thing that matters
00:32:05.420
most if the biden spending explosion started the uh the dumpster fire of inflation that blew up the
00:32:14.780
government bonds that blew up the banks we're in a complete meltdown internationally you're our only
00:32:20.420
salvation give us an update where do we stand things are really good right now
00:32:25.640
and you know in terms of the fact that we have a chance to be able to tackle via the debt limit
00:32:32.320
i understand the skepticism on republicans i've hammered them for years on this but i'll think
00:32:38.240
of that a lot of that is old testament thinking in the sense that they have real power now on the
00:32:42.800
house conservatives in a new way and that battle is going to be enjoyed and here's why here's some
00:32:48.000
proof to that you want some receipts right the the media right now is beginning to lose their mind
00:32:55.440
because none of the attacks that they are making are landing punches with house republicans
00:33:01.440
second the media is doing stories like why this is different and they are noticing that there is
00:33:08.420
the fight is is slowly building it hasn't been fully fully committed yet but they are noticing that this is
00:33:15.620
a different this is a different situation because of the the way that the the house conservatives have
00:33:22.040
power and are dictating the events in conjunction with the speaker that's leaning into it so i expect
00:33:29.320
more you saw house freedom caucus come out with their great list of demands biden has continued to attack
00:33:35.860
that you see them talking about woken weaponized government spending they are aiming the fight at the
00:33:41.900
regime at the bureaucracy and what was laughable steve is this week the biden administration made this big
00:33:48.460
show about on a day in day out basis they were going to attack and they were they were they were
00:33:53.200
ludicrous uh arguments that they were making that that that no one paid attention to because they were
00:33:59.240
so divorced for reality and you know what they didn't attack on were some of the education cuts
00:34:04.940
and the hhs cuts that we've put out that are necessary to do to to be uh enacted on the debt limit
00:34:12.520
they didn't want to touch any part of that because it was all based on us going after a critical race
00:34:17.440
theory bureaucracy gain of function bureaucracy at hhs so you're seeing it's it's taking a little time
00:34:23.600
but we have a few months to do this you're seeing this work itself into a very very uh solid force in
00:34:31.520
the house they just came out of their retreat my all every all the intel that i got from the retreat was
00:34:36.640
that it was very successful and the members are moving to a place of of being in lockstep to battle
00:34:43.060
this out now we could lose this a thousand different ways uh but as of right now i am encouraged
00:34:49.360
and i think we got to keep them moving in the right direction this is a historic opportunity you don't
00:34:55.080
get leverage points like this uh in a year like this with the house republican majority focus right on
00:35:01.720
where they should be they're not worried about social security and medicare they are right where they
00:35:06.040
should be going after bureaucracy via discretionary spending cuts and and using the debt limit as the
00:35:12.420
leverage mike davis has been as critical of jim jordan and uh and speaker mccarthy as anybody he's
00:35:20.300
actually saying hey i think these guys right now are on track i see i see a more serious sense of
00:35:25.300
purpose on the things that he follows do you also see that at mccarthy on on the spending side i mean
00:35:30.480
you were his biggest critic that he was head of the cartel and had to go are you sensing that he's
00:35:36.480
got the back of of of the people that really want to cut the the uh the federal budget i do i i think
00:35:44.020
he's he is leaning into the fight he has not made uh a misstep thus far that is a strategic one and you
00:35:52.060
know my concern is that always we build these fight to push them in and then they would do everything
00:35:56.440
to execute it into a cul-de-sac they're not doing that uh do they does he share every assumption
00:36:02.300
that i'm putting forward no i'm that's not what i'm suggesting but we are getting it in an open air
00:36:08.780
with regard to this uh he's listed he's got one of my former staffers that are working for him and
00:36:15.000
we're making project progress progress i notice i and i want the audience to understand we're given
00:36:21.720
this is pure signal this is the whole show has been today pure signal i want to make sure people
00:36:28.060
say that understand the attacks they normally make on social security and medicare have not
00:36:34.080
landed at all and quite frankly the republicans have dug in and i think it's shocked the media
00:36:38.840
but even more importantly you know you and i in the summer of 17 we're working on the prioritization
00:36:44.480
of debt payments to really go full full bore against ryan and schumer and pelosi and mcconnell
00:36:50.460
in august and september with president trump i've seen two articles one a lead story in the hill and
00:36:56.580
another a lead story in politico that talks about the democrats are freaking out now because the
00:37:02.740
republicans have put the prioritization of payments plan up and they're they're saying this thing's
00:37:08.200
actually getting traction can you update us on that and and i can tell they're nervous about that
00:37:12.560
because there were two lead stories and the stories both said people in the democratic side and in the
00:37:18.560
cartel are like freaked out that these republicans are actually serious about that any observations
00:37:23.540
on that sir yeah i don't think that the attacks are landing because in some respects we've simplified
00:37:29.860
the attacks to let people know that joe biden's has this ability and authority janet yellen has this
00:37:37.600
ability and authority right now every day every week every month now until kingdom come they have the
00:37:45.220
ability to make sure that we do not default on on principle and interest period end of story and so
00:37:51.540
then they have to have a conversation about what default means okay is it just treasuries or is it every
00:37:57.360
is it the prompt payment of every obligation that the federal government has ever made so really we can't
00:38:03.220
be we can't be late on on some wuhan institute grant uh that tony fauci put in the pipeline really
00:38:10.520
we can't be late that's the full faith and credit of the united states so that's where they've tried
00:38:16.120
to say it's just default by another name but of course we know that's not what what investors are
00:38:21.560
looking at uh when they talk about the gold standard of the full faith and credit the united states
00:38:27.180
and so with these bills that are moving forward um it just helps members get their talking points to be
00:38:34.540
able to simplify them and be able to get keep the responsibility where it needs to be and that is in the
00:38:40.380
oval office of the united states where joe biden can ensure that default is not something we never
00:38:46.280
experience as a country you told us that on process or critical path to watch out you get a top line of
00:38:53.140
the budget then fight at the appropriations levels once we get that and do real cuts meaningful cuts
00:38:57.880
in period zero me now then get to the death ceiling as you sit here close to the end of march do you
00:39:04.000
think we're heading down that path is that is that still the program as you as you see it today
00:39:09.340
budget top line first appropriations the 12 in regular order and then you get to the debt ceiling
00:39:15.360
you still think that's where the path we're headed down that is where my hope if you ask me very
00:39:20.220
honestly where where where do we need the the house republicans to fully get on board they're right in
00:39:26.740
the right direction but in terms of saying that the cuts are going to be enacted before or at the same
00:39:33.440
time as the debt limit they have not come that far that's where the war room possibly really needs to help
00:39:39.000
get us there with their members to say the debt limit does not pass at all until the debt until
00:39:47.000
the appropriations bills are enacted with the cuts
00:39:50.600
the associated press this morning has their poll at biden's at 38 percent the wall street journal has
00:39:58.560
their their study out their report they've done for i think 30 or 40 years that shows the lowest in
00:40:03.620
american history of peoples thinking that their children and grandchildren were living in a more prosperous
00:40:08.140
american it's never happened lowest number ever in this wall street journal richard barris is sharing
00:40:12.740
with us uh over the people's pundit he's got polling trump's up for one of the biggest knocks against
00:40:18.400
biden's the economy the bottom's falling out of this the the deplorables right now are underwriting
00:40:23.160
these bank bailouts uh how what is your as you look at it as an omb guy what do you see the direction
00:40:30.460
of the biden economy right now it's not good i mean we we're in a scary position where we have a
00:40:36.700
financial crisis at the same time we have a spending crisis they're they're interrelated um you know the
00:40:42.720
fed is bankrolling the bailouts and they're bankrolling the tax the the spending of the federal
00:40:48.860
government and so it's it is not a good situation um and so you know they are clearly uh on a path
00:40:58.820
where they're going to just try to keep it together with duct tape using their authorities
00:41:02.880
um and hope that they can keep the spigot on on the spending side and i think that house republicans
00:41:08.720
need to do whatever they can to to zoom out do the fundamentals right and say look there's some
00:41:14.780
things we can't control yet uh i support all the things that that that dave bratt was saying in terms
00:41:20.300
of reforming the fed but the one thing we can control is on the debt limit man we're going to stop
00:41:25.600
the spending spig and i think that's the order of the day russ vote uh how do people get to you on
00:41:32.220
both social media you're putting up great stuff all the time but also at your center which has so
00:41:36.280
many other great people over there working away every day on the america first and the mega
00:41:40.180
program how do people get to it uh america renewing.com at russ vote on all the social media channels and
00:41:48.200
uh we need the help we're we're making progress and there's more to be done
00:41:52.380
we will light the the phone banks up uh probably a little bit over the weekend but definitely on
00:41:59.380
monday to have your back on the serve nothing could be more important thank you thanks steve have a
00:42:03.980
great weekend okay uh so uh we're going to get to that we've we've got to make sure that people
00:42:11.200
have russ's back on this we're we're very close to getting a process here that's going to be a
00:42:17.400
process that that lets us confront the spending now not wait for not talking about cutting growth rates
00:42:22.780
of spending not talking about out years or formulas that's been done before but real absolute budget
00:42:29.360
cuts starting now okay let me get uh let me get my man uh walsh back in here walsh here's the thing
00:42:35.820
we know that the foundation of any uh of our of our economy is full spectrum energy dominance
00:42:41.880
one of the things you've brought up over the last couple of years is is the problems with the grid in
00:42:46.980
the united states there's been a bunch of articles that i've been sending you and you've been sending
00:42:50.320
me just give me a quick sit rep on where do we stand with with with the with the grid in the country
00:42:56.940
and if if it's not in perfect shape or not in great shape what's the level of capital investment
00:43:02.460
that has to happen to get this stuff up to speed sir well we have a growing number of states adopting
00:43:10.200
completely irrational policies that will make leave them energy bereft new york is one i was studying the
00:43:17.640
plan for the new wind farm called the sunrise wind project off 30 miles east of montauk new york
00:43:25.500
880 megawatts if you look at what new york has committed to the state by 19 2030 committing to
00:43:32.760
70 of its power generation will be renewable from today about 7 is wind and solar some is hydro 10
00:43:40.660
but you can't add to hydro because it displaces millions of people all that can be added to to
00:43:45.480
get to this 70 is wind and solar that would leave new yorkers 43 short of electricity because the
00:43:54.060
the growth from seven percent to 70 is of stuff that works only seven and a half hours a day
00:44:00.400
not 24 hours a day such as nuclear coal or gas so you're left with an energy shortage in new york
00:44:06.340
then of 43 which means service curtailments brownouts blackouts less consumption a lot less consumption by
00:44:13.960
individuals such as has happened already in england with the same type of policies and massive importation
00:44:20.580
of electricity from canada and pennsylvania not from new england they're not into gas and coal
00:44:25.600
so then from pennsylvania and canada massive imports into new york to solve for this that's the meaning
00:44:31.200
of a 70 dependence on renewables florida's done the same thing it's developed a plan that all the new
00:44:36.740
90 of the new generation capacity additions here will be solar in the next 10 years leading to again
00:44:44.340
that's 5.6 hour a day stuff reserve margins will shrink from 23 percent down to about 12 and you'll
00:44:51.780
have far higher statistical probability just like texas more actually more so than texas is now
00:44:58.720
experiencing with brownouts blackouts help help me out help me out how could if you do the math of a
00:45:05.360
growing economy how can you assume a growing economy when we're actually taking away from reliable energy
00:45:11.740
full-time to to to empower manufacturing consumers all of it is is the math there's a separation math
00:45:18.940
get worse over time and and people are these executives and they are rational can't they see
00:45:24.560
the basically the math doesn't work it get it gets way worse the secretary of commerce in florida has
00:45:30.080
already told me the energy system here is not robust enough any longer for for heavy industry to come not
00:45:36.960
we've never really welcomed heavy industry here we should for employment reasons but the the system
00:45:43.740
is now not robust enough to support paper mills steel plants car plants you know facilities that take
00:45:49.760
large quantities of electricity let alone the fact that we're going to have another 16 population growth
00:45:56.120
in the next nine years easily here which will cause the need for 16 percent more continuous duty
00:46:01.960
baseload generation to be built and we're not building any next era the greenest energy company
00:46:08.240
in the world that runs owns florida power and light major donor to governor desantis has committed to no
00:46:13.760
new gas no new nuclear they're going to do nothing but solar in the state for the next nine years
00:46:18.560
then the mathematics don't work that stuff only works 5.4 hours a day you need energy assets that run all
00:46:25.520
of the time to fuel population growth industrial growth and a robust economy by the way the first
00:46:31.120
8.6 billion of solar farms built in this state by next era and duke and tico have come at the cost of
00:46:37.940
about six and a half billion worth of thin film pv solar panels from china so a continuance of 16 000
00:46:44.560
more megawatts of that might mean another another 15 billion of spending on chinese
00:46:49.480
dave we gotta bounce how do people you're putting up great stuff all the time on get her how do people
00:46:55.740
get to you on your social media give me at dave walsh energy on the truth social and get her thank you
00:47:01.320
steve dave i'm telling you i'm i'm putting i'm putting it down in my diary i'm taking my number
00:47:06.900
two pencil out and walking and writing it down about the day we talked about the homicide charges
00:47:11.440
for climate change you wait these people are so crazy and they'll stop at nothing sir
00:47:15.280
could be in prison dave walsh thank you brother have a great weekend
00:47:23.880
joe crouch uh joe the cost of everything is exploding uh the audience everybody's under
00:47:31.300
under pressure on pricing they also are concerned about their security their personal security their
00:47:36.040
home security security their families you have come up with the solution take a couple of minutes
00:47:40.140
tell us what the solution is how do you get more proficient in your firearms and not have to burn
00:47:45.080
through a ton of cash at a range until you're ready maybe to use the range on a targeted day where
00:47:51.240
where do we go and what do we do sir hey steve thank you yeah well we sell a laser bullet the company's
00:47:58.460
itargetpro.com and the laser goes into your actual firearm and basically i have one here and so the firing
00:48:07.060
pin hits this it's the back here and it shoots the laser so you actually practice with your actual
00:48:14.800
firearm it goes right in the chamber so there's no chance of a accidental firing or anything like
00:48:21.120
that it allows you to safely practice you can practice in your own home you save on ammo you can
00:48:26.320
teach other people how to use it safely and it allows you to practice more often because now it's
00:48:31.660
actually fun to use dry fire training dry fire training is actually something that's used by
00:48:37.440
professional shooters to keep their marksmanship sharp just like a basketball player has to constantly
00:48:43.600
practice to keep those skills sharp so so do you when you're shooting a gun so really our product
00:48:49.140
that when i first designed it you know it's for those people that just keep a gun in the gun safe and
00:48:53.700
never go to the range and never use it so now you actually can pull it out and use it and practice
00:48:58.340
you know scenarios in your own home you know if someone was to break in or whatever or as i did when i
00:49:04.120
first invented it i taught my wife how to shoot the gun safely so i'll show you how it works here
00:49:09.080
so here we have the original eye target system and as i shoot the target
00:49:14.180
so you'll see the phone's camera picked that up
00:49:20.080
and it puts the bullet holes right where the laser was hitting on the target as i was aiming at it
00:49:26.480
so it's very accurate it shows you exactly where the shots were hitting
00:49:31.160
and again you're saving money on ammo costs by learning these fundamental skills but here's the way if you have
00:49:38.420
if you have a spouse you have a wife that's just coming to learn about guns or you have
00:49:43.020
young people that you want to try gun safety this is a way in the comfort of your own home or in the
00:49:48.100
backyard totally safe that you can have them train and do repetitions repetitions repetitions what you
00:49:54.160
have to do even before you go to the expense of a gun range is that one of the key key uh things
00:49:59.080
yeah that's a great key because the fundamentals of of shooting the gun the only thing different when
00:50:04.980
you go to the gun range is you're going to have the recoil and you're going to have the sound
00:50:08.400
so all you can do for recoil is grip the gun really tightly and you teach them that when they're shooting
00:50:14.080
it you know explain that there's going to be recoil so you know you can still practice as if there's
00:50:19.180
going to be recoil but you know you practice these fundamentals you know part of it like my wife's
00:50:24.440
problem was getting sight alignment you know aligning the the back sights with the front sight keeping
00:50:29.700
them equidistant and all that and that's a fundamental skill that you know she was able
00:50:34.420
to learn safely here so when she did go to the range last time we went she was able to hit the
00:50:38.740
target and uh you know so it allows you not real quickly how do people get to the site quickly how do
00:50:47.660
people get to the site we want everybody to go today yeah the website's at www.itargetpro.com
00:50:54.180
