If you continue to look the other way and shut up,
00:00:30.000
It's another element that backs them into a quarter
00:00:35.080
This is why this audience is going to have to get engaged.
00:00:39.280
All this nonsense, all this spin, they can't handle the truth.
00:00:48.960
And I had a good relationship, very good with both of them.
00:00:52.760
I would tell Zelensky, no more, you got to make a deal.
00:01:00.600
We're going to give them more than they ever got if we have to.
00:01:09.180
I mean, first of all, that again, ending this one day, Susan Page suggests that they're
00:01:16.360
That he's telling Zelensky, hey, that's enough.
00:01:19.820
I think we can read between the lines what that is about.
00:01:21.900
But also, let's remember, he's characterizing his relationship with Volodymyr Zelensky,
00:01:25.940
Yes, because it was his conversation with Zelensky that got him impeached the first time as he
00:01:30.460
was trying to withhold military aid to Ukraine, and so Ukraine would dig up political dirt
00:01:39.360
But just give us your read here on what we're hearing from Trump.
00:01:43.040
And I will say, one of the persistent storylines at the NATO summit in Vilnius last week is
00:01:48.160
this real fear that if Putin can hang on through the American elections next fall, and he's
00:01:54.380
rewarded with Donald Trump as the White House, he knows he's got a shot to win this after
00:01:59.320
Yes, I mean, this is a concern we heard from, quietly from NATO leaders about what would
00:02:05.220
happen if Donald Trump wins the next election, which is not an impossibility.
00:02:09.980
We heard that first question at that Finnish news conference from a Finnish reporter, can
00:02:17.200
Because it would be a very, the U.S. position would be quite different toward the war in Ukraine
00:02:21.420
and toward Vladimir Putin if Donald Trump moved back into the White House.
00:02:26.060
Of course, the idea that the American president, whoever he or she is, could tell Zelensky to
00:02:32.060
make a deal and that he would do so is pretty laughable, given that Zelensky has shown himself
00:02:37.380
to be a pretty valiant leader of Ukraine and someone who is willing to stand up to the
00:02:41.980
United States when he thinks it's in his interest.
00:02:43.720
And the question of when Ukraine will be interested and willing to get, seek a, sit down for a serious
00:02:49.560
diplomatic solution, I don't really think we're there yet.
00:02:52.440
So, Brendan, there are certainly some in Republican leadership and Senate Minor Leader McConnell,
00:02:57.860
chief among them, who are saying, look, we're going to support Ukraine.
00:03:00.020
This is what our job as Americans to do, to bolster Kiev against what Russia is doing.
00:03:06.520
But there's definitely a strain of isolationism, a strain of Republicans who are questioning
00:03:14.760
We know there's some in the Republican House and those voices have grown louder about the
00:03:20.240
We also heard from Tucker Carlson at an event he held in Iowa in recent days, really pressing
00:03:24.840
some of the GOP candidates about whether or not this is a good idea.
00:03:29.500
How prevalent or how much of a factor is this going to be for Republican voters as they look
00:03:35.120
at these candidates today, including most of all, Donald Trump, you know, that this could
00:03:41.840
We want to do something very different than this current White House going forward.
00:03:46.180
I mean, the party is so much more isolationist than it was.
00:03:48.600
And we actually saw this vote in the House on the bill we were just talking about.
00:03:51.800
There were amendments offered to significantly limit or even cut off support for Ukraine.
00:04:04.680
But I looked at it was like, wow, that's a lot of Republicans saying they're willing to
00:04:07.960
cut off aid to Ukraine right now at this moment.
00:04:10.640
I mean, I was bracing in that Trump interview for him to say that that's that's his position,
00:04:15.000
that he's going to cut off and that's how he's going to end this war.
00:04:17.160
At least thankfully, he said, you know, he may use strength to try to end it.
00:04:22.800
There are a lot of very popular figures out there who push this stuff all the time.
00:04:28.720
And Trump has been one of the leaders of the of the isolationist movement that you've got
00:04:32.360
to say, like, so, you know, he's he's responding to something that he saw out there.
00:04:48.660
Bannon, as you guys probably know, if you if you were either at the Turning Point conference
00:04:52.360
yesterday or if you watched us on Rumble, a real America's voice, he gave a very impassioned,
00:04:58.340
I have to say I've seen Steve give a lot of speeches.
00:05:01.020
I don't know if I've ever seen a mic drop before.
00:05:07.160
No amount of Red Bull could get him through to the 6 p.m. show.
00:05:10.400
But I'm happy to fill in and bring a whole host and cast of guests, some new friends to
00:05:15.500
the show to talk about all things, not just Turning Point, but of course, Ukraine, what's
00:05:19.800
going on in Congress, what's going on with the Biden regime, even what's going on with
00:05:27.340
Now, I also had a perfect cold open teed up for who our first guest was supposed to be,
00:05:33.900
I know he's going to have to jump at 630 for votes, but if and when the studio gets
00:05:38.120
him, they can let me know because he was one of the 90 Republicans who were brave enough
00:05:43.200
to vote for MTG's amendment to halt any additional funding, at least the 300 million in the NDIA
00:05:50.900
He's also been a part of the really indefatigable 20 and, of course, the 71 who voted against
00:05:57.900
But in the meantime, someone who is also wonderful is not just a friend of mine, but a friend of
00:06:02.340
the show, Ashton Munholland, who is the president of Palm Beach Young Republicans.
00:06:07.740
People may recall that that is the city where the Turning Points Conference was held for
00:06:15.640
But like I said at the studio, if you want to let me know and we have Congressman Ogles,
00:06:21.000
But Ashton, if you just want to give the audience a little bit of a primer specifically on what
00:06:26.660
your club is about, but more importantly, how you've grown the membership, then we're
00:06:30.260
going to get into all things Deep State, Ron DeSantis, and, of course, the Turning Point
00:06:38.820
So over the past eight months, we are actually a brand new club, and we are one of the fastest
00:06:45.840
We have over 150 members and about 400 people who oscillate in between our different speaker
00:06:51.500
And really, it's because there's such a vacuum, I believe, for leadership that it's in 30s.
00:07:02.000
Congressman Ogles is going to have to bounce for votes.
00:07:04.680
So we're going to get back to that because I want to talk about what you're doing because
00:07:16.040
I don't know whether to blame the Chinese Communist Party or the Ukrainian government for your
00:07:25.640
But we were talking, I don't know if you've got a chance to hear the cold open, but it's
00:07:29.940
basically MSNBC and all their talking heads lamenting how Donald Trump would be able to
00:07:34.740
end the Ukraine war because at the end of the day, we know that would be bad for the
00:07:38.480
In the beltway, all the defense contractors, people who've made a bunch of money off of
00:07:43.820
You obviously were one of the 98 Republicans to vote for one of the amendments to the NDAA,
00:07:53.080
If you just want to sort of walk us through that vote, where that crusade to stop this just
00:07:58.360
unnecessary and endless spending, or at least, you know, talking millions, frankly, it's probably
00:08:04.040
going to be billions by the end of this conflict, to Ukraine, where you stand on that, and then
00:08:08.860
we can drill down on some of the other issues you're working on.
00:08:12.500
Yeah, I mean, and to be clear, when you look at, you know, money sent, equipment sent, expertise
00:08:17.880
that has been expended, and we're at roughly 46 billion B's and Bravo dollars.
00:08:24.000
And so even if you're someone, so some of your listeners who may support the Ukrainian
00:08:28.880
effort, like, the question would be is, what's the end game?
00:08:37.160
And none of that, none of those questions have been answered.
00:08:39.940
And so I have a responsibility, even if hypothetically I supported the effort, where's the accountability?
00:08:51.760
And so, but the problem, to your point, is like this deep state has taken over, and
00:08:58.440
And when you ask those questions, they look at you like you're stupid.
00:09:05.640
And we have a right to get the answers to those questions before we spend another dollar
00:09:10.620
on this effort, and before we have Americans ultimately ending up getting killed in this
00:09:16.460
So I want to link this to a really important piece that was published in the New York Times
00:09:23.880
Steve obviously talked about it in the morning show, but it's talking about how Donald Trump
00:09:28.220
is really planning to crack down on really what is the administrative state, right?
00:09:32.940
The permanent political class, not just the career appointees, but the 16, 17 million people
00:09:37.440
who are on the contracting side, who are, of course, benefiting immensely from this Ukraine
00:09:43.200
And I think that MSNBC cold open complements that story perfectly because they know Donald
00:09:47.720
Trump poses an existential threat to the endless and forever wars.
00:09:51.780
And like you were saying, there is sort of a disconnect between Republicans and Congress
00:09:57.700
and what the, for lack of a better word, MAGA base is, at least when it comes to the issue
00:10:03.060
of Ukraine, the turning point conference that just concluded.
00:10:05.960
They poll members, which you're talking six, seven, eight thousand people who are part of
00:10:16.420
involvement, specifically through additional funding, in the Ukraine war, which really is
00:10:33.920
And again, this is one of those situations where, look, I understand that Russia is a bully.
00:10:38.780
I really, I realized that, you know, this is a complicated conversation, but everything's
00:10:44.600
And so the real existential threat to the United States and our future and your future and your
00:10:49.540
kids' future and my children's future is the CCP.
00:10:52.240
And so now we have, you have a Chinese government that literally is ramping up for war.
00:10:58.620
We know that their shipbuilding capability is now greater than ours.
00:11:02.420
We know that they're building their nuclear arsenal.
00:11:06.000
There's constant incursions into Taiwan airspace and naval space.
00:11:11.500
And yet here we are, we're messing around with Ukraine, spending hard-earned American dollars.
00:11:15.860
Some of our preparedness and our readiness is being spent to Ukraine.
00:11:18.780
And not to mention, the Taiwanese have pre-ordered 19 billion, B as in Bravo, billion dollars
00:11:27.700
And we have, they have yet to receive those armaments.
00:11:31.660
Because our supply chain, our war supply chain is taking care of Ukraine instead of Taiwan.
00:11:39.000
If China decides to move, to make a move on Taiwan, they're not going to make the same mistakes
00:11:45.140
There's not going to be this protracted engagement.
00:11:47.260
You're going to wake up one morning, and the Chinese government, the Chinese military will
00:11:51.200
have made an advancement on Taiwan, and it's over.
00:11:54.460
And when you consider all of the technology that's produced out of Taiwan, this is a direct
00:12:00.020
existential threat to the United States of America.
00:12:06.720
Think about it for a minute, our supply chains.
00:12:09.280
Think about how hard it was to get basic things like toilet paper or prescription drugs during
00:12:17.340
We still have ripple effects from COVID and the supply chains and our over-reliance on China.
00:12:23.260
That needs to be our number one priority, not Putin, not regime change.
00:12:31.660
Since World War II, it's not going to be fixed overnight.
00:12:35.760
And so for us to continue to spend money over there without some sort of mission statement,
00:12:50.040
And they now have the cartel saying that they're going to target our border patrol if they start
00:12:57.520
To me, that's an act of war because the cartels are nothing more than an extension of the Mexican
00:13:02.420
Now, Congressman, you let me know when you have to go, but we'll keep you for as long
00:13:07.680
as you can if the audience doesn't know he has votes.
00:13:11.000
But you come, obviously, from the great state of Tennessee.
00:13:13.900
But that also means that, you know, firsthand what Chinese Communist Party infiltration looks
00:13:19.680
I think it's because of your beautiful land and wonderful abundance of agriculture.
00:13:23.860
The Chinese Communist Party has targeted your state quite heavily.
00:13:27.800
But I'm curious, you're a freshman member of Congress.
00:13:30.160
And you really just laid out the case as to why we should be focusing on the Chinese Communist
00:13:35.100
But it seems like the elites in Washington are more concerned with arming Ukraine, let
00:13:41.940
So just in your opinion, like I said, you're a freshman representative.
00:13:45.400
So, you know, I'm sorry, you're still getting used to life in Washington, D.C.
00:13:49.360
But in your opinion, do you think the reason that so many people are hesitant to confront
00:13:54.120
the Chinese Communist Party, do you think it's more so because they've been bought off,
00:13:58.540
paid for, infiltrated and influenced a la the Biden family?
00:14:01.940
Or do you think it's actually an ideological affinity in the sense of these people want
00:14:08.120
These people genuinely just want to shell out millions, billions of dollars to Ukraine just
00:14:15.140
I'm aware the answer might not be mutually exclusive with both of them.
00:14:18.600
But in your kind of assessment, boots on the ground, what do you think the answer is as
00:14:22.620
to why we are so unwilling and incapable of confronting the Chinese Communist Party?
00:14:27.860
Yeah, you know, I don't think that's a simple answer.
00:14:30.860
You know, one, you know, obviously, I'm one of the more conservative members of Congress.
00:14:36.320
I was one of the original 20 that, you know, that kind of held up the speaker's race because
00:14:43.140
We had to change the way Congress does its business.
00:14:46.020
But that being said, I think there's this disconnect.
00:14:48.180
I mean, I think part of it is we are in this 24-hour news cycle.
00:14:52.040
You do have the reality of there is an ongoing conflict in Eastern Europe.
00:14:56.840
And so that's kind of the shiny object that's getting all the attention.
00:15:00.040
It's harder to articulate the threat that the CCP poses.
00:15:04.100
Because I say that, but you and I just discussed it.
00:15:10.340
You know, the Oak Ridge Laboratory, you know, the Center of Nuclear Research for the United
00:15:16.840
States or one of the centers, that balloon literally flew right through Middle Tennessee.
00:15:21.360
And when you look at the range that that balloon had in its surveillance equipment, it
00:15:25.500
took in not only Fort Campbell, which is a military base and our Air Force base that
00:15:31.940
It literally threaded the needle between all three of those installations.
00:15:35.920
And if you don't think China is not a threat, you're not paying attention.
00:15:39.520
I mean, at first, and not to mention, the Biden administration just willingly lies.
00:15:44.440
And I think that's what they do is they figure out what's the next lie to see that will the
00:15:49.960
And they told us it was a weather balloon, that it was not a threat, that it wasn't a
00:15:57.940
So I think part of it is just the simplicity of there is this conflict.
00:16:05.980
There's been this public support and outcry for freedom and liberty, which, hey, I get
00:16:15.540
So this speaks to the heart of who we are as Americans for standing up for the little
00:16:24.360
And I have a right to know how those monies are being spent.
00:16:27.780
And as a member of Congress, they can't tell me.
00:16:30.540
Now, going back to the other part of this equation, this like, what do you do about it?
00:16:34.120
You know, the Biden administration's upset because Trump, if he gets into the office, and
00:16:38.840
I'll say when he gets back into the office, he's going to fire a bunch of bureaucrats.
00:16:54.640
You know, John Quincy Adams, he said the House of Representatives was a people's house.
00:17:00.520
That's where we fight and argue over the issues.
00:17:03.060
And I'm also the closest that any individual is going to have to that budget, right?
00:17:12.920
We are the people that should be making these decisions, not unelected bureaucrats.
00:17:16.660
And this administration is woefully afraid of what Trump is going to do, what he should
00:17:23.920
And quite frankly, in my reelect, when that day comes, I'm one of his first endorsements
00:17:30.060
I always think the term bureaucrat is too euphemistic and endearing.
00:17:34.480
These people are, you know, hardcore apparatchiks through and through.
00:17:38.560
Their only allegiance is to the administrative state because it keeps them employed.
00:17:42.380
And by the way, Congressman, I think you sell yourself short because you were just part
00:17:47.660
You were also part of the 71, I think it was, no's on the debt ceiling.
00:17:51.700
And like we were just discussing, the 98, I guess, A's on the Ukraine amendment.
00:18:02.300
But if people want to stay up to date with what you're working on, go to your campaign
00:18:12.060
Andy Ogles dot com or obviously Facebook slash Andy Ogles.
00:18:19.840
But, you know, when you're over the target, you're going to take flack.
00:18:22.700
And they don't like the fact that I'm not willing to just sit down and shut up.
00:18:26.700
I'm going to say the things that need to be said.
00:18:31.480
But by George, I came up here to break things and fight for the American people.
00:18:36.600
I think it's a prerequisite to come on War Room.
00:18:39.460
You have to have the mainstream media say bad things about you.
00:18:48.780
Now, Ashton, sorry to interrupt you, but I think if we still have you, the studio could bring Ashton back.
00:18:54.760
Again, Ashton is the president of the Palm Beach Young Republicans.
00:18:57.380
And she was just giving us, actually, for once on this show, some good news, some optimism about how she's helping to expand the club down there.
00:19:04.880
Really, the wild numbers of expansion that they're seeing.
00:19:08.500
So if you want to pick up where you left off, and then we'll get into the more nitty-gritty stuff.
00:19:14.720
And over the past eight months, we've had over 400 people oscillate in between our different events that we've hosted.
00:19:20.920
And really, there's just such a vacuum for young leaders in their 20s and 30s that hold our views and are not willing or not afraid to be willing to use their voices and to stand up for, you know, what we believe in and to create that environment.
00:19:35.240
Before I took over the club, there was a group of maybe five or ten people who just kind of bar-hopped.
00:19:43.240
And so when we took it over, we decided that this was going to be a community that was going to be a safe place, a safe place for conservatives to really voice their opinions and be able to debate and continue in that dialogue of developing our understanding and our political rhetoric.
00:19:59.620
So it's been a very powerful eight months, and we're gearing up for election season.
00:20:07.140
So full disclosure, I think I actually am a member.
00:20:10.620
I think people know I used to live in Palm Beach.
00:20:15.380
But Ashton, if you could just walk us through your thoughts.
00:20:18.620
I saw you at the Turning Point Act Con event where Warren was at and doing the live show.
00:20:24.320
But if you could just sort of give us your thoughts, obviously.
00:20:26.780
It was a younger crowd, but also specifically, you know, there were a lot of young people, young activist types there.
00:20:32.400
There also was one person who certainly wasn't there.
00:20:36.140
Someone by the name of, I think, Governor Ron DeSantis or DeSantis.
00:20:45.920
I was talking to somebody about that the other day.
00:20:47.900
It's really disappointing that Ron could not make it there.
00:20:54.640
I believe it's just a reflection of his cowardice that he carries.
00:21:01.160
I mean, if my wife was dragging me through the campaign trail and, you know, propping me up and being backed by the donors, such as the Bushes and, you know, the Soros of the world, and really being set up for failure, I think I would probably not want to show up either.
00:21:17.320
So, you know, it's just a reflection of that cowardice, unlike Donald Trump, who took the stage by storm.
00:21:23.100
The crowd was electric and everybody was excited to listen to every single word he had to say.
00:21:28.660
And, again, I just think it's a reflection of what we need on the global scale, which is a leader, which is not, unfortunately, Ron DeSantis for president.
00:21:40.840
She looks nice and classy, but she definitely brings out the punches, like you say, murderer's row.
00:21:47.480
Here in the war room, Ashton, you have a really, I think, unique expertise and grasp on what young people, obviously, as the president of Palm Beach, young Republicans, are interested in.
00:21:56.760
And I know, like I said, I've been to a lot of your events, that it seems like most of the people in the club support Donald Trump.
00:22:02.280
That sort of seems to be the general sentiment.
00:22:05.660
He got 85, 86 percent of the poll at Turning Point.
00:22:11.240
But, you know, there was a wonderful article in ABC.
00:22:13.820
I guess they're now on the payroll of the Trump campaign because it basically read like a free ad,
00:22:18.920
but saying that the only reason people would vote for Trump is to get revenge on the government.
00:22:24.500
It goes through the administrative state, the crazy conspiracy that they're waging war on us.
00:22:30.120
And a lot of times, I think, when we talk about the youth vote and why people are drawn to conservatism, it's more, you know, the cultural issues, social issues, the economy.
00:22:38.200
But from what you're hearing, I'm just curious, in your opinion, do you think Donald Trump's messaging,
00:22:43.340
particularly on waging war against the administrative state, this concept of retribution,
00:22:49.160
is that something that young people, again, in the 20 to 30 age group, that demographic,
00:22:54.160
something that they can understand and really get behind?
00:23:00.800
I think that that is one of the most powerful messages.
00:23:03.340
You know, when the left makes fun of it and says, oh, Donald Trump is threatening retribution,
00:23:12.360
I mean, even look at the rise of Andrew Tate and men like him.
00:23:15.460
Donald Trump carries the courage and conviction that I think every young 20 and 30 year old wishes that they could have.
00:23:25.540
So with the club, we were talking about how you've expanded it.
00:23:28.920
I know we've talked about how you're sort of been molding it after the New York Young Republicans.
00:23:37.400
But that has really given you, I think, an in with like the grassroots, right, in Palm Beach County.
00:23:42.560
And obviously the grassroots totally descended on Palm Beach for Turning Point ActCon.
00:23:51.300
Just curious, sort of the temperature on the ground for the members of the War Room Posse
00:23:55.280
who weren't fortunate enough to make it to the conference.
00:23:58.440
What was it actually like getting us the chance to talk with the activists there?
00:24:02.600
You know, what were some of the issues that were really on the forefront of people's minds?
00:24:06.320
What do people want to people want to talk to you about?
00:24:10.340
So a lot of the young people are really concerned with the economy, right?
00:24:15.900
We're sending trucks and trucks loads of cash to Ukraine, which is ridiculous.
00:24:20.380
And Donald Trump really is the only person that's talking about putting America first.
00:24:28.400
And I think even RFK Jr. is also copying some of that messaging.
00:24:37.780
But I think a lot of it is trailing the messaging of Donald Trump.
00:24:43.340
All of them in the top three popular, most popular over Ron DeSantis.
00:24:50.240
All of the theme, the underlying theme there is the same thing of what we're talking about, is taking it to the globalists and coming back and putting America first.
00:24:59.180
And so, you know, whether you're Democrat or Republican, I think that that's some of the most popular and powerful messaging that we have.
00:25:04.740
And it's what most people are talking about right now.
00:25:07.420
I think you and I, even you and I are old enough to remember when a turning point slogan, you know, was big government sucks.
00:25:14.900
And that was only, what was it, you know, six, seven years ago.
00:25:17.360
But it really shows how far we've come where we're not just talking about big government, but we're now talking about the collusion of really what is global government with big tech, big pharma, really big everything to really suppress all the fundamental freedoms and civil liberties that we have.
00:25:33.320
Not because the government says we have, but because God and the Constitution say we do.
00:25:39.160
So I want you to plug the club and let people know how they can get involved, what upcoming events you have.
00:25:43.620
And more importantly, if they want to find you on social media, where can they find you?
00:25:48.580
So if you are in Palm Beach County and you'd like to come to some of our events, you can find us at palmbeachyr.com.
00:26:02.740
We're building our campaigns committee right now for this season.
00:26:05.080
And we will be fully, fully backing President Donald Trump to be 47 over 45.
00:26:13.920
I know we won't get too much into it because I think we have a press release, some more news coming out.
00:26:18.960
But I'm sure you'll be back on War Room to break all that good stuff.
00:26:22.240
And I also hear you met Trump yesterday, which is pretty cool.
00:26:30.260
But War Room Posse, we still got a packed show.
00:26:32.560
We got Morgan McMichael from Turning Point USA and, of course, Mike Davis, a War Room favorite, walking us through the latest really legal battles that the Biden regime is waging on the American people with regard to their ability to censor and collude freedom of speech on all platforms, whether it's elections, vaccines, you name it.

You got Natalie Winters still hosting, but don't fret.
00:32:36.340
But we'll actually be heading on Wednesday to Trump's golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey,
00:32:41.200
to do a live show ahead of the screening of Sound of Freedom, which is, of course, a wonderful movie.
00:32:46.580
You should definitely go see it if you haven't already or go see it again for a second time, a third time, even a fourth time.
00:32:52.660
I think it would probably be better every subsequent time.
00:32:56.760
But joining me now is someone who I don't believe has ever been on War Room before,
00:33:00.860
but we were fortunate enough to briefly meet at Turning Point Act Con,
00:33:05.500
is a contributor to Turning Point USA, but a social media influencer with quite a sizable following.
00:33:10.460
Her name is Morgan McMichael, and she's been covering and focusing on an issue that I think is something
00:33:16.820
that maybe is a little out of the, I would say, regular lexicon of a typical War Room viewer.
00:33:22.900
But the mainstream media really has had their head in a tailspin over what Turning Point USA shows like Alex Clark
00:33:30.540
have been doing, waging a war really against hormonal birth control and its negative effects on women.
00:33:37.080
And, of course, Big Pharma loves to omit a lot of those details and data, just like they have with COVID-19 vaccines.
00:33:44.140
So Turning Point really has been facing a lot of criticism and attacks for what they've been trying to do,
00:33:49.340
they would say, spread misinformation and disinformation to young women.
00:33:53.480
So, Morgan, if we have you, I'd love for you sort of to explain the criticism and attacks
00:33:57.480
that you guys have been receiving, particularly on your efforts to really raise the red flag
00:34:03.280
about what I think is, really, you could call it Big Pharma's war on women,
00:34:08.000
particularly when it comes to hormonal birth control.
00:34:11.800
Absolutely. Thank you, Natalie, for having me on War Room today.
00:34:15.540
The wage on war on women with hormonal birth control has been insane over the past decade,
00:34:22.480
ever since the modern feminist movement took over.
00:34:25.500
I mean, hormonal birth control is prescribed to sometimes even 13- and 14-year-olds
00:34:29.520
going into their doctor's office seeking help for their menstrual cycles,
00:34:33.120
and they end up having these long-term side effects that are not clearly told to these young women.
00:34:39.060
And now there's even an over-the-counter pill that is going to be available in July.
00:34:43.260
This was just FDA-approved, which is completely scary,
00:34:47.220
especially for young women who are seeking help with contraceptives.
00:34:50.380
They're saying that this is going to be the most effective oral contraceptive on the over-the-counter,
00:34:57.020
But then even things like Nexplanon, IUDs, hormonal birth control is really against women,
00:35:03.120
and Big Pharma is trying to push this on every single woman
00:35:05.900
and really making it a Band-Aid fix for all women to just go on birth control to solve all their problems,
00:35:11.960
where instead it's actually causing them long-term side effects.
00:35:15.120
They don't know the side effects, and causing them very much just horrible things like bleeding.
00:35:23.640
Some women are even chemically castrated by using hormonal birth control overtly for too long
00:35:30.900
So Turning Point USA, we've gotten a lot of backlash, especially with Alex Clark,
00:35:34.260
after the past month during the Young Women's Leadership Summit,
00:35:36.780
raising awareness and talking about the red flags and side effects and dangers
00:35:40.560
of these young girls being prescribed hormonal birth control
00:35:44.320
without actually knowing the side effects and what could happen to their bodies in the future.
00:35:48.980
So we focus a lot on this show about how Big Pharma has certainly waged war on the American people
00:35:55.100
when it comes to the COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
00:35:57.460
We have obviously Dr. Naomi Wolf, Dr. Malone, Dr. McCullough,
00:36:01.080
who've really led the charge on exposing not just the inefficacy,
00:36:05.600
but I really think posing the question when they say the cure was supposed
00:36:10.440
they're actually saying, you know, was the cure in some ways the disease?
00:36:14.740
But I want to sort of, I'm curious to at least get your opinion and your take
00:36:19.100
on the, I would say, attack and crusade that Big Pharma has been on
00:36:24.700
to push and normalize birth control sort of through the lens or the paradigm
00:36:32.260
In other words, do you think that Big Pharma is sort of intentionally obscuring
00:36:37.600
some of these data points that are indicating that hormonal birth control
00:36:41.280
might not just be some catch-all solution, might not just be some panacea
00:36:44.800
to health problems that young women are having,
00:36:47.680
but they're pushing for it first and foremost because they know it drives their profits up.
00:36:51.800
But more importantly, what I'm curious to get your opinion on,
00:36:54.100
they've also sort of waged information warfare, right?
00:36:58.280
In other words, they're purposely trying to cover up the side effects
00:37:02.300
and calling people like me and you who talk about this, you know, crazy conspiracy theorists.
00:37:07.620
Right. And they've absolutely labeled conservatives against hormonal birth control
00:37:13.620
And you know what? Some birth control for women may be safe and effective,
00:37:16.960
but largely slapping a Band-Aid on it and saying birth control is safe and effective
00:37:21.020
for all women just is not the case. And absolutely, Big Pharma has completely lied to women.
00:37:26.400
And I think the feminist movement has a huge play in this since they have really taken on
00:37:30.700
ever since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, taking birth control now in their hands as,
00:37:35.540
well, since we can't get abortions, everyone get on birth control,
00:37:38.780
which now we've seen the over-the-counter birth control now become available in July.
00:37:42.600
And that is what I think is the most scary, is that Big Pharma is now pushing
00:37:46.800
for even younger women to be prescribed birth control.
00:37:49.760
They're not telling the side effects. They're not being transparent with the data
00:37:53.360
that is clearly coming out with the side effects that women could have.
00:37:57.240
I mean, women will go years without having their period and thinking that it's normal
00:38:00.740
and then possibly being infertile for years upon removing birth control from their bodies
00:38:06.060
and having to completely rebalance their system.
00:38:08.920
So it's definitely really scary to see the effects that Big Pharma has.
00:38:12.900
I mean, they're getting richer where they're sickening their entire generation of women.
00:38:17.340
The U.S. birth rate has been at an all-time low in decades.
00:38:21.460
And now we're just continuing to completely medicate women as young as 13 years old.
00:38:26.640
And they're completely messing up the puberty cycle and women's cycles for the rest of their lives.
00:38:33.760
Look at Big Pharma and how they treated COVID-19 with the vaccinations.
00:38:37.520
And they're doing the exact same thing by medicating women all the same for completely different reasons.
00:38:42.660
Not even checking people's hormones before prescribing them a birth control pill,
00:38:47.580
which is not a safe pill for every single woman.
00:38:51.860
But one thing I have to say about this new birth control pill coming out, the O-pill in July,
00:38:58.340
There has never been a birth control pill available where you can get progesterone,
00:39:02.440
which is completely ruins women's bodies in some cases, just by going to a pharmacy or even a gas station now.
00:39:08.840
And my fear is young women are going to be taking this medication not properly
00:39:13.760
and harming their systems even more than they would be if they were prescribed it by a doctor
00:39:20.400
Well, look, you really hit the signal and not the noise.
00:39:23.540
And I know this isn't an issue that we usually cover on Steve Bannon's War Room.
00:39:28.340
Why it's so important is because people have to remember, you know,
00:39:31.240
it's the same voices, the same establishment that's telling us that we shouldn't have children
00:39:38.180
It's the same administration, Kamala Harris, who allegedly misspeaks
00:39:42.360
when she says overpopulation is something that they're looking to fix and cure.
00:39:47.300
So that's why I've always thought that this story, this issue, even though, like I said,
00:39:52.340
it's not the typical focus of Steve Bannon's War Room,
00:39:55.220
but it is important because it links to all of the broader stories that we do cover on this show.
00:40:01.360
So, Morgan, I've got to let you go in about two or three minutes,
00:40:04.320
but if you could just tell us a little bit about what exactly it is that you do with Turning Point.
00:40:08.940
And I know specifically that you have a good pulse,
00:40:12.520
I guess I'm on the pulse of, you know, younger voters, people our age.
00:40:16.420
I don't get to interact with a lot of young people.
00:40:18.420
I work primarily with Steve, but give the audience some hope when it comes to young voices
00:40:24.160
and young voters and young people and how they actually aren't just,
00:40:28.800
or let's say actually they are conspiracy theorists, and I use that term endearingly.
00:40:35.360
I am very, very hopeful for our future, especially going in the 2024 election.
00:40:39.560
I mean, if you look at Gen Z, we are one of the largest voting blocs
00:40:42.340
in this past weekend at Turning Point Action Act Con.
00:40:46.040
It's so cool to see how many young Gen Zers were present at that conference.
00:40:50.680
Turning Point USA also hosted our chapter leadership summit this past week,
00:40:54.300
where over 700 key chapter leaders from our thousands of high school
00:40:58.000
and college chapters across the country joined for a leadership training
00:41:01.640
so that they could go out, boots on the ground, get involved in their communities,
00:41:05.340
and be active in their communities to continue pushing the conservative movement.
00:41:08.660
So me as a contributor, it was super, super fulfilling
00:41:10.980
to be able to meet so many of our student activists, our TPUSA chapter leaders,
00:41:15.420
being able to hear from the speakers this weekend,
00:41:17.340
and be filled with so much of conservatism in our society.
00:41:22.080
And so do not lose hope for everybody out there.
00:41:25.040
Gen Z, we are a force to be reckoned with because we are not backing down,
00:41:29.060
and there are hundreds of us across the nation, thousands of us across the nation,
00:41:33.120
who are not stopping and going to continue talking about the conservative movement
00:41:36.840
on high school and college campuses and on social media.
00:41:39.700
And I think it's just really important that we continue to push the conservative movement,
00:41:43.900
talk about our values, and stand firm as Gen Z, because we are not all lost.
00:41:50.660
Just take a look at ACT-CON and CLS that happened this past week,
00:41:54.200
and you saw thousands of shining faces of young Gen Zers that are hungry to be more politically active
00:42:02.160
Morgan, thank you so much for making the audience, I think for once in their life,
00:42:10.540
If people want to stay up to date with what you're working on, watch your content.
00:42:14.260
Where can they find you on all the various social media platforms?
00:42:18.360
The War Room audience can find me anywhere, any social media platform.
00:42:25.020
If you can spell it, you can find me everywhere and on all TPUSA channels.
00:42:35.580
Now, our next guest, no shade, but he may not be a member of Gen Z.
00:42:40.140
We are talking about a hair loss in the break, but it is Mike Davis, a very good friend of the show.
00:42:47.420
I don't know if he would still consider me a friend after what I just said,
00:42:50.040
but Mike Davis, legal mind, legal extraordinaire.
00:42:56.660
I always just text Mike and like, please come on and help me figure out what to say.
00:43:04.020
But Mike, I thought we had a victory when it came to stopping the Biden regime from colluding
00:43:09.300
with the federal government and the social media platforms to silence basically this show.
00:43:14.760
Although, given what we wanted to talk about, I don't even know if it would be worth their effort.
00:43:18.800
But Mike, it seems like that's no longer the case.
00:43:22.560
Well, now that Natalie has falsely accused me of having a toupee, which I do not have,
00:43:29.080
so I do think that the Biden administration should censor this blatant misinformation and disinformation.
00:43:39.240
No, what we have with Judge Doty down in the Western District of Louisiana,
00:43:46.000
he put out an injunction saying that the Biden administration, the executive branch,
00:43:51.220
cannot collude with big tech officials to censor Americans.
00:43:55.560
And that should just be basic 101, First Amendment, constitutional common sense.
00:44:05.040
There's a temporary administrative stay so that the appellate court can get their arms around this case.
00:44:11.000
But this is an important case, and it hopefully will get resolved by the appellate court in a favorable way.
00:44:17.220
And if it doesn't, the Supreme Court should take this and uphold this injunction,
00:44:21.940
because we could not have a government working with private actors,
00:44:26.440
especially trillion-dollar big tech monopolists, Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple,
00:44:32.520
to censor, silence, de-platform, and cancel conservatives and others with whom these leftists disagree.
00:44:40.660
We saw during COVID how dangerous censorship is.
00:44:45.220
They censored doctors and scientists for merely questioning what the COVIDians,
00:44:56.440
The COVIDians ended up being wrong in many instances,
00:44:59.440
and that led to unnecessary human suffering and death.
00:45:04.660
We're not China yet, and we cannot go down this path.
00:45:07.980
I'm sure the Biden regime is also particularly ticked off that this ruling came out right now,
00:45:15.660
because they definitely need the censorship industrial complex to be coming out in full force
00:45:20.820
with all the information that's coming out about Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and the whistleblowers.
00:45:25.700
It seems like there's a new whistleblower almost every other day.
00:45:29.560
It seems like there was actually just a new announcement from the House Oversight Committee
00:45:33.800
talking about how they had, I believe it was a transcribed interview with an FBI agent,
00:45:37.680
basically confirming a lot of what the first IRS whistleblower had said about Joe Biden and his
00:45:46.320
Mike, I know you're usually a harsh critic, and nine times out of ten justifiably so,
00:45:54.760
But if you could just give the posse an update on where we stand with finally getting to the bottom
00:46:00.900
of Biden family corruption, and hopefully, for Pete's sake, or I guess I shouldn't say Pete's sake,
00:46:06.140
because that might be a reference to pedo Pete, which is what I believe his contact was on Hunter's laptop,
00:46:12.160
but getting Joe Biden and Hunter Biden behind bars.
00:46:15.720
Yeah, I've always been a big fan of James Comer on the House Oversight Committee.
00:46:19.340
I was a critic of Jim Jordan on the House Judiciary Committee because of his stance on big tech,
00:46:26.800
and he needs to get better on big tech, but he's starting to do a really good job on oversight.
00:46:32.740
And they're starting to unravel the Biden crime families business,
00:46:42.640
We have allegations that a sitting president of the United States is compromised by a $10 million foreign bribe
00:46:51.760
as the sitting vice president of the United States.
00:46:54.440
He allegedly took a $10 million bribe from Burisma, Ukrainian oligarchs, and changed American policy,
00:47:01.520
threatened to cut off a billion dollars in U.S. aid if the Ukrainian president did not fire the Ukrainian prosecutor
00:47:11.560
And remember, President Obama put then-Vice President Joe Biden in charge of Ukraine,
00:47:17.720
and they cashed in handsomely, corruptly, illegally, according to this evidence that's been before the FBI since at least 2017.
00:47:27.380
We also have the House Oversight Committee finding tens of millions of dollars more in corruption
00:47:37.560
We're talking maybe $30 million that went to the Biden family.
00:47:43.260
It seems like every Biden got a piece of this except for the four-year-old granddaughter in Arkansas
00:47:49.720
who Joe and Jill Biden don't claim because they're absolute scumbag, terrible people for not claiming this granddaughter.
00:47:59.220
We have a 53-year-old drug addict loser son living in the White House, flying on Air Force One, flying on Marine One, staying at Camp David.
00:48:14.600
And you have to wonder, is it because Hunter Biden is the bad man?
00:48:18.180
Why is Joe Biden's Justice Department coming up with these sweetheart deals to protect Hunter Biden?
00:48:25.320
Because they're obviously protecting Joe Biden.
00:48:28.200
And so these, the House Judiciary Committee, the House Oversight Committee, the House Ways and Means Committee,
00:48:38.120
And that is figuring out whether the president of the United States is compromised by foreign bribes and other corruption.
00:48:50.560
Speaking of drug-addicted scumbag sons, I like the way you say that so classily.
00:48:57.740
I'm just curious your thoughts on how the Secret Service concluded their investigation of the cocaine incident,
00:49:03.780
which I guess there were previous incidents with other drugs.
00:49:07.100
So I guess diversity really is our strength when it comes to Hunter Biden and his drug habit.
00:49:11.960
But your thoughts, just how bald-faced a lie it is for the Biden regime to conclude this investigation.
00:49:18.360
Actually, I won't even use the term investigation to just conclude it without any real evidence.
00:49:26.820
I mean, we have a video of Hunter Biden on the Truman Balcony on the 4th of July with the scumbag Biden family.
00:49:36.180
And he turns around and looks like he is snorting cocaine behind Joe and Jill Biden.
00:49:41.380
And it's pretty obvious that Jill saw this and recognized it because she did one of these looks with Joe to Hunter.
00:49:49.340
I mean, it's very obvious whose cocaine this was in the White House.
00:49:53.260
And the funny thing is, of course, when they first found it, there were leaks under the White House that they tried to blame Kamala Harris.
00:49:59.900
So, of course, let's blame the black woman in the White House and not Hunter Biden, the obvious suspect of who would be smuggling cocaine into the Biden White House.
00:50:10.540
It's so clear why they need such a massive and really just totalitarian censorship industrial complex because of the stories that are continuing to leak out of the White House, right?
00:50:21.660
It's a lot harder to suppress all of these just horribly degenerate stories that should have nothing to do, nothing anywhere near the White House.
00:50:30.280
So no wonder why they need CISA and all of these three- and four-letter agencies to help kind of clean up the mess.
00:50:37.160
I know when the story first broke about the social media ruling, they really honed in on CISA, which I always say is the agency that you've probably never heard of, but they've definitely heard of you.
00:50:50.160
That is, of course, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.
00:50:54.380
Again, I think it sort of speaks to the weird priorities of the Biden regime.
00:51:00.840
In other words, we keep seeing these global hacks going on, the Chinese Communist Party is obviously waging cyber warfare on us, and the agency that's tasked with combating that cybersecurity, right?
00:51:12.080
They're too busy censoring Americans on what they're saying about election integrity.
00:51:17.920
Mike, we've got about two minutes before I've got to let you go.
00:51:20.720
Can you just stress the importance, especially for the members of Congress who listen to this show, those on the Hill, on these committees, on the Weaponization Committee, why they really should be drilling down on CISA?
00:51:35.980
This is an agency that's part of the Department of Homeland Security.
00:51:39.320
And any time there is any government entity that thinks it's their job to decide what is correct or incorrect information being shared and debated among American people, that agency needs to be shut down immediately.
00:51:56.120
You can't get more dangerous in a democracy than having the federal government shut down a debate and free speech in a country.
00:52:05.200
I think that'll be one of the top priorities of day one of the Trump administration.
00:52:12.460
But if people want to find you, where can they go to on social media?
00:52:17.300
They can donate at article3project.org, article3project.org, at article3project, at article3project.org,
00:52:32.960
Mike Davis, I won't say you wear a toupee so we don't get flagged for misinformation.
00:52:44.840

We've got a lot of great stories breaking about Matt Gaetz, about the Chinese Communist Party, Hunter Biden,
00:53:01.280
and, of course, with the Biden regime, the lengths they're going to to cover up for international trafficking of minors.
