A report on Military Wokeness, a report on why the Biden administration is failing us, and an exclusive report from the Wall Street Journal on the possibility of U.S. troops returning to Ukraine, and a call from Rep. Matt Gaetz on why he thinks the Deep State is out to get him.
00:01:36.000I've been telling the American people that the regime is just so thirsty for direct kinetic conflict with Russia, war with Russia.
00:01:45.000We even heard Majority Leader Steny Hoyer talk about the fact that we are at war with Russia.
00:01:51.000Well, now an exclusive report from the Wall Street Journal.
00:01:55.000Pentagon weighs deploying special forces to guard Kiev embassy.
00:02:00.000You'd think that they would have learned their lesson from Afghanistan,
00:02:05.000that having a small force of Marines trying to protect an impossible diplomatic mission in the middle of a hot war zone that we have no control over is insane.
00:03:47.000Are we really at a point where photo op foreign policy risks the lives of American service members, risks starting World War III?
00:03:58.000We are now in a circumstance where people in Washington, D.C. are advocating directly for a reinsertion of U.S. troops into the conflict in Ukraine.
00:04:09.000And they were lying to you when they told you they didn't want boots on the ground.
00:04:12.000How many times did we hear from Joe Biden?
00:04:15.000Oh, we're not going to put, you know, boots on the ground.
00:04:18.000We're not going to have this air combat engagement over the skies of Ukraine.
00:04:23.000But now we see the very initial steps of getting into precisely that dynamic.
00:04:29.000And it's something that I am definitely against.
00:04:32.000The foreign policy elites are doing everything they can right now to plow U.S. arms, materiel, and cash into Ukraine.
00:04:44.000And the reason they are rushing to do it now is because they believe following the midterm elections there will be more America first voices that inform on U.S. foreign policy.
00:04:56.000And we know this because a member of the foreign policy elite told us just this past Sunday.
00:05:03.000Charles Kupchan, former NSC officials, official for European affairs under the Obama administration.
00:05:10.000He gave an interview on Fareed Zakaria's program on CNN.
00:05:14.000And this is what he said about the America first movement.
00:05:18.000I'm very worried that as we head to the midterms, the America first wing of the Republican Party is going to get stronger and stronger.
00:05:26.000We've seen primary candidates, J.D. Vance in Ohio.
00:05:42.000We are the movement winning elections.
00:05:45.000And we will be putting people in the government to assure that we do not just spoil American blood or American treasure everywhere in the world.
00:05:54.000That there happens to be a conflict that the war lobby and the defense industrial complex want to be able to profit off of.
00:07:16.000And the blowback will be an ascendancy of America first in the Congress.
00:07:21.000That's what the national security apparatus is telling you.
00:07:24.000And if our military is not making poor decisions regarding the conflict in Ukraine, they are advancing a level of wokeness that is completely crazy.
00:07:50.000Now, we do have policies to provide for family members.
00:07:53.000Gosh, if we had a member of our military who could have a family member that could only receive a certain type of medical treatment at a specific place,
00:08:01.000we would do everything we could to accommodate them.
00:08:03.000And our military has policies to do that.
00:08:06.000But we have now heard reports that those compassionate care policies are being tortured and perverted into a basis to not have military service members in states like Florida and Texas that have sensible laws reflecting the values of our communities.
00:08:25.000Everybody in the national media went crazy over what they called the Florida don't say gay law.
00:08:31.000Matter of fact, the law didn't say that at all.
00:08:33.000Nonetheless, the publicity, the narrative formation could potentially lead to service members saying, well, I have a trans family member.
00:08:44.000I have a gay service member, so I don't want to go to the state of Florida.
00:08:48.000I don't want to serve at one of those installations.
00:08:50.000Maybe someone doesn't want to go to Texas because they're offended that they believe that, you know, they don't like Texas's view on abortion rights.
00:08:58.000And I asked the secretary of the Air Force, Frank Kendall, about whether these policies were affecting our military, whether they were being used in this way.
00:09:10.000Are you saying that if a service member has a transsexual family member or a family member who might one day want to become a transsexual person, that the Air Force might not send that service member to a state like Florida or a state like Texas based on our laws?
00:09:31.000What we do, and we've been doing this for a very long time, is whenever anybody comes up for assignment, they go through a questionnaire about their family and their medical needs and special education, things like that.
00:09:43.000And based on that questionnaire, we examine whether in the region they might be assigned to, there might be some issue with providing them with what they need.
00:09:51.000And then if that's the case, we don't assign them there. We find something else someplace else for them to go.
00:09:56.000There are about 35,000 servicemen that are under that program right now and about 55,000 people that are affected by it.
00:10:03.000So it has a lot of broad applicability.
00:10:05.000But usually we would think about this exceptional family member program like if a service member had a child with a specific heart disease and they could only get treatment at Johns Hopkins,
00:10:14.000you might not send them to a place where they wouldn't be able to access that treatment.
00:10:18.000What I think is new is that you're now applying that to transsexuals and people who might want to be transsexuals.
00:10:23.000So again, I want to ask the question very directly.
00:10:26.000Is it the position of the Air Force that if someone has a transsexual family member and they don't want to go to a state like Florida or Texas,
00:10:34.000that you will accommodate their request to not go to Florida or Texas based on the gender issues of a family member?
00:10:41.000If a service member is under treatment for a recognized medical condition such as gender dysphoria and they cannot get that treatment in the state to which they might be assigned,
00:10:51.000then they could be assigned to another state.
00:10:53.000But there has to be an actual medical meeting.
00:10:55.000And it's not just if they're under treatment.
00:10:56.000Captain Donna Donsworth told the Washington Post family members receiving gender affirming treatment or likely to receive such treatment.
00:11:05.000So isn't it true? Did Captain Downsworth misstate that?
00:11:12.000Does someone have to be receiving the treatment?
00:11:13.000I'd have to expect the exact wording of how the program is set up.
00:11:16.000But there has to be an identified actual need for medical treatment, not just the potential for one.
00:11:48.000And I'm concerned that it's going beyond medical needs in some of the statements of some of the folks who work for you.
00:11:53.000I'm now quoting from Under Secretary Gina Ortiz, who said, we are closely tracking state laws and legislation to ensure we're prepared to mitigate effects to our airmen, guardsmen and families.
00:12:03.000And again, this is dealing with the transsexual issue with the exceptional family member program.
00:12:07.000So which state laws and local laws are you particularly concerned about?
00:12:12.000We are we have people in our major installations who track local conditions, including state laws all the time.
00:12:34.000This report from The Daily Wire, U.S. Army considering letting soldiers change base if local laws offend their choice of gender.
00:12:44.000I mean, this is explicitly a way to punish the military mission in Florida, punish the military mission in Texas, and it's going to hurt readiness.
00:12:54.000This is quoting from The Daily Wire piece, quote, the policy would ostensibly sanction soldiers to declare that certain states are too racist, too homophobic, too sexist, or otherwise discriminatory to be able to live there safely and comfortably.
00:13:12.000And they are citing a report from military.com.
00:13:16.000This is going to hurt America's readiness, and it also is going to deprive us of access to key investments that we've made for our military capabilities.
00:13:25.000I mean, if we now live in a world where DOD has gone so woke that they want to punish the military mission in Florida and Texas and Oklahoma and Arizona and other states, well then the investments we've made in the Gulf test range, in other weapons systems, in our supply chain and where we build things to be able to ensure that our military is capable of victory.
00:13:49.000All of that will take second fiddle to wokeism coming out of the Pentagon.
00:14:03.000We'll fight for a military that is prepared, that is capable, that is lethal, that is survivable, and that is unwoke.
00:14:13.000Because that is what the patriotism of our service members and that is what the security of our country demands.
00:14:23.000The crisis on our border continues to escalate and get worse.
00:14:28.000I know there's been a lot of news about Title 42 and a judge recently ruling that the Biden administration couldn't revoke it under our current conditions.
00:14:38.000But the reality is that Title 42 is already long gone in the practical procedures being deployed on our border.
00:14:47.000Border agents, border patrol, they need to get ahead of the wave, they tell us.
00:14:52.000And so they're already cycling people into the country and not deporting them as a consequence of Title 42 or really any other law like remain in Mexico, like save third country.
00:15:03.000These laws that the Trump administration put in place to protect us are not being used by the Biden administration and it's on purpose.
00:15:11.000We've also got a new report, Joe Biden has appointed five new immigration judges, one of whom is Romy L. Leonard.
00:15:20.000And she was on the board of a total left-wing anti-borders group called the Detention Watch Network.
00:15:28.000And the stated purpose of the organization that the latest Joe Biden appointee to one of these judgeships held was to stop deportations, not limit them, not focus them on criminals, not ensure that it's the worst of the worst that we deport, to stop them, to just straight up stop deportations.
00:15:48.000Now, how fair is that for our country, for our fellow Americans, to have the person that is supposed to adjudicate asylum claims holding the view and associating with the position that no one should be deported at all?
00:16:03.000You see, they're trying to rush all this through as fast as they can to get people across our border, to erode voter ID, and then ultimately to have these illegal aliens voting in our elections and reshaping our country unfairly and undemocratically.
00:16:18.000And they say we are the threat to American democracy. This is the threat to American democracy, an open border and elections that are unsecure. That is the problem.
00:16:28.000And this Romy Leonard appointment is certainly an example of that.
00:16:33.000And of course, we see the immigration crisis accelerating under the failed leadership of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Ali Mayorkas, who really is a sociopathic liar.
00:16:45.000That's what he is. He has the ability to stone cold lie in the face of facts that are just readily apparent to any American.
00:16:57.000And so take a look at the statements of Ali Mayorkas and figure out whether or not you believe him or your own lying eyes.
00:17:08.000The bottom line is that U.S. borders are not open.
00:17:12.000The immigration situation here in Del Rio has never been this bad.
00:17:16.000Just yesterday alone, they apprehended more than 900 migrants in total.
00:17:21.000The restrictions at our southwest border have not changed.
00:17:24.000Border Patrol here completely overwhelmed, overstretched. They can't be everywhere at once.
00:17:32.000This was a human smuggling stash house that was busted in Alton, Texas yesterday.
00:17:36.000More than 100 migrants being kept there by those human smugglers.
00:17:40.000The United States continues to enforce its immigration laws. We are prepared.
00:17:45.000These migrants continue to show up by the hundreds pretty much every single hour.
00:17:51.000The number of migrants under that bridge has now swelled to more than 14,000.
00:17:58.000Individuals and families continue to be sent back.
00:18:02.000But that's mostly single men being sent back.
00:18:04.000A lot of the women, children and family units will be able to stay.
00:18:07.000They'll be processed and released into the U.S.
00:19:09.000Look, I'd put some perspective on what we're going through right now.
00:19:13.000The market is not the same as the economy.
00:19:16.000When you look at the economy, you see a 3.6% unemployment rate.
00:19:20.000You see 500,000 jobs being created a month.
00:19:24.000You see consumer spending quite strongly.
00:19:27.000Our economy is heading to darker times right now because you have far too many dollars chasing far too few goods.
00:19:36.000Part of that is a consequence of Joe Biden's failures with the supply chain.
00:19:40.000But of course, what has exacerbated this dynamic the most is expansionist Fed policy and massive government spending.
00:19:49.000Those two things always were going to create an inflationary cycle.
00:19:53.000And now it's a cycle that people are getting absolutely crushed in.
00:19:57.000The American Rescue Plan was to be the signature legislative achievement of the Biden era.
00:20:03.000It would be almost the only thing Democrats would be able to run on.
00:20:07.000But even Jason Furman acknowledges that the American Rescue Plan exacerbated the problems that really are driving the concerns of many Americans today.
00:20:53.000So this is the connection people have to make.
00:20:56.000Inflation isn't occurring because of Vladimir Putin.
00:20:59.000It's not occurring because of some uncontrollable foreign dynamic in the global economy that we can have no effect on or no say in.
00:21:08.000The reality is it's the policies of Joe Biden that have created this inflation and that are projected to continue to do so.
00:21:15.000I mean, we are not going to see 2% inflation for a while.
00:21:19.000Next year, best case scenario, perhaps 3% inflation.
00:21:22.000But that's still year over year will be something that will be of tremendous concern to many families throughout our country and to many family budgets.
00:21:34.000Many Americans have expressed concern to our office regarding Joe Biden's attempt to surrender American sovereignty and American decision making to the World Health Organization.
00:21:45.000So I wanted to go into this issue with more detail.
00:21:48.000The WHO is seeking a new instrument to be able to rapidly effectuate change in the member states to an agreement that they would oversee that they would staff and that would limit our flexibility to have decisions like we saw in the state of Florida in the event of a WHO declared pandemic.
00:22:10.000They are seeking international health regulations and take a listen to how they want to do it.
00:22:17.000The WHO is seeking an emergency committee to assess health threats and outbreaks and recommend responses.
00:22:23.000They want a country review mechanism and they want to expand the power of the WHO to declare really almost anything, an outbreak or a pandemic.
00:22:33.000This would go well beyond just a respiratory virus.
00:22:37.000It would give them vast sweeping powers over American life.
00:22:41.000They would have a regional group of directors that would potentially have the ability to constrain the United States to like the views of Latin America.
00:22:53.000And they would have investigatory powers.
00:22:57.000They would have border closure powers.
00:23:00.000They would have travel restriction powers.
00:23:02.000They would have the powers to institute lockdowns or change employment conditions and certainly masks, vaccinations.
00:23:12.000They could essentially commandeer and involve non-state actors and they could impose censorship through restriction of information as a disinformation or misinformation.
00:23:22.000And of course, CNN is all in publishing an op-ed recently.
00:23:33.000I do not believe in the WHO to not just be a continued tool of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:23:40.000The WHO blew it in the coronavirus pandemic.
00:23:43.000They are the last people we should be turning to for future decision making.
00:23:47.000And I believe that the left right now understands that they're going to have less control after the next elections.
00:23:54.000After the midterms, the House, the Senate, potentially both out of the hands of the Democrats.
00:23:59.000And so they are trying to surrender as much of your power and your liberty and your decision making to this global entity as they can before they lose the opportunity to do so.
00:24:12.000We need massive communication to people who are in the decision making in the United States Senate.
00:24:18.000We need to reach out to Republicans, Democrats, all lawmakers to oppose this surrender of American sovereignty.
00:24:24.000It's as serious as it gets, and it will not end at true health pandemics.
00:24:29.000They'll declare climate change a pandemic.
00:24:31.000They'll declare gun violence a pandemic.
00:24:33.000They'll declare anything that will give them the power to institute these lockdowns with greater frequency.
00:24:40.000They will speak that into World Health Organization speak and pandemic speak.
00:24:45.000And we must be extremely resistant to that on all fronts.
00:24:49.000Pegasus is a spying technology developed by Israel.
00:24:56.000We told you about its capabilities and threats in a prior episode.
00:25:01.000Pegasus is the name of a Trojan horse spyware program created by the Israeli cyber crime company NSO Group.
00:25:10.000And as of 2022, Pegasus was capable of reading texts, tracking calls, collecting passwords, location tracking, accessing, targeting a device's microphone and camera and harvesting information from apps.
00:26:22.000We questioned the FBI cyber chief about the FBI's interest in Pegasus, its use, how it intended to apply the license that it had acquired for $5 million.
00:26:34.000Here's the FBI cyber chief on March 29th, giving his explanation for the FBI's interaction with the software.
00:26:42.000Are you aware of a piece of software named Pegasus that's provided by NSO Group, Israeli software company?
00:28:22.000I mean, it's very important for me personally as a representative for the cyber program at the FBI
00:28:27.000to keep that as an open invitation in both directions between all of you and me and from me to all of you,
00:28:34.000that whatever information that you would want access to, we would try to facilitate that.
00:28:39.000But now we are getting information reported by the New York Times that seems to suggest that the FBI had a far more thorough interest in Pegasus
00:28:52.000Remember, in that March 29th briefing, the FBI cyber chief wants you to believe that the U.S. taxpayer paid $5 million for Pegasus just to see what its capabilities were.
00:29:05.000No real interest in ever using it as part of operations or investigations.
00:29:10.000Here's the headline from the New York Times.
00:29:13.000FBI told Israel it wanted Pegasus hacking tool for investigations.
00:30:11.000So was the FBI lying to Congress or was the FBI lying to the government of Israel?
00:30:18.000My guess is they're probably far more willing to lie to Congress than the government of Israel.
00:30:22.000Like, why would we go to the lengths in 2018 telling the government of Israel not that we had acquired a limited look,
00:30:30.000but that we had in fact purchased Pegasus and that we were intending to use it in investigations?
00:30:37.000Now, on that March 29th date, we had the hearing that resulted in a commitment from the FBI cyber chief to give members of Congress a classified briefing on the use of Pegasus.
00:30:50.000Was Hunter Biden a target? Was Joe Biden a target? Was Donald Trump a target?
00:30:55.000Were there any members of Congress who were targeted by Pegasus?
00:31:01.000And to this date, the FBI has been recalcitrant in agreeing to the hearing, to the briefing that they had promised Congressman Ted Lieu of California,
00:31:11.000a Democrat who doesn't like me very much, and Thomas Massey, a Republican of Kentucky.
00:31:16.000So we need to have that understanding.
