00:00:59.000Okay, let's just say we all know CNN doesn't exactly love Trump, but he put himself...
00:01:06.000In front of that train, and let's just say, it didn't exactly work out how they had hoped.
00:01:15.000You can tell that by the leftist meltdown on Twitter afterwards, calling them out, losing their minds, AOC, you know, the Lincoln or the, you know, what many people refer to as the pedophile projects.
00:01:32.000George Takai. Some of the biggest haters can't even believe what went down.
00:01:37.000So we're going to show you the best moments of the left's meltdown, and that's just ahead.
00:01:41.000But first... The House Oversight Committee, headed by James Comer, unveiled evidence showing millions of dollars flowing from foreign companies to the Biden family.
00:01:55.000It's much bigger than we thought, right?
00:02:01.000The committee obtained bank records that show the Biden family...
00:02:06.000Their business associates and their companies received well over $10 million from foreign nationals companies, not just in the Ukraine and China, but also in Romania.
00:02:20.000And they built a web around 20 LLCs that don't look anything like a legitimate business.
00:02:30.000For example, because there's a lot of examples.
00:02:33.000But the committee revealed that more than $1 million flowed from a corrupt Romanian businessman to the Biden family while then-Vice President Joe Biden was talking about the need to clean up corruption in the Eastern European nation of Romania.
00:03:46.000Let's pretend that Hunter and Jim are real businessmen for a second.
00:03:50.000Fine. The ex-wife, the new wife, this person, the kids, the brothers, they're all on the payroll of these foreign entities or the entities controlled by it.
00:04:05.000Why on earth would they be on that payroll?
00:04:10.000Some sort of international business experience?
00:04:12.000Did any of them have any actual business experience, let alone international business experience?
00:04:19.000Even Nancy Meiss, not exactly a Trump lover in Congress, admitted that this information is one of the biggest scandals in American political history.
00:04:30.000Check it out. What we're proving to you today is showing you actual bank records, actual evidence of shell companies and businesses or more businesses and more Bidens involved that we knew of.
00:04:40.000You have to issue more subpoenas because every time we turn over Iraq, there's more information.
00:04:47.000There's more... Possible allegations that need to be investigated.
00:04:51.000This is what we know today. Money flowed from the Chinese Communist Party, aligned with individuals into American shell companies, and then that money was wired and transferred to Biden family members.
00:05:04.000This could be the most corrupt scheme in American politics, where a sitting vice president, where we saw members of his family, nine members so far, there may be more, that were enriched from countries all over the world.
00:05:17.000It's important to keep in mind that Joe Biden, his brother James Biden, and his son, Hunter, have all made millions.
00:05:25.000Some people say Hunter Biden's net worth is almost $250 million.
00:05:53.000So all the people that criticize Trump, oh my god, he made money building buildings, like he's been doing very publicly for 40 years.
00:06:01.000So what exactly, again, did Joe Biden do?
00:06:04.000When exactly were they doing this, that all of a sudden these magical businesses can pop up and make tens of millions of dollars with no experience?
00:06:18.000So again, to be clear, when Joe Biden was vice president, more than $1 million flowed from a crooked Romanian businessman to the Biden family while then-Vice President Joe Biden was pretending to be fighting corruption in Romania.
00:06:33.000Watch this clip from James Comer so we understand the details of that.
00:06:37.000Since our last press conference in November, We're good to go.
00:07:00.000First instance, while Vice President Biden was lecturing Romania on anti-corruption policies, in reality he was a walking billboard for his son and family to collect money.
00:07:13.000Hunter Biden and his associates capitalized on a lucrative financial relationship with a Romanian national who was under investigation for and later convicted of corruption in Romania.
00:07:27.000The Bidens received over $1 million for the deal.
00:07:32.000And 16 of the 17 payments to their associates' account that funneled the Biden's money occurred while Joe Biden was vice president.
00:07:43.000In fact, the money stops flowing from the Romanian national soon after Joe Biden leaves the vice presidency.
00:07:50.000This is a pattern of influence peddling.
00:07:54.000This appears separate from any payment Hunter received from his work connecting this individual.
00:08:02.000A million dollars flowing to the then-vice president's shell entities and the companies that are controlled by his family while he's the guy in charge, right?
00:08:11.000It wasn't like Romania and these people were putting him on the payroll before that.
00:08:17.000Magically, he becomes powerful, he is exercising control over that region, and then the money starts flowing.
00:08:25.000Notice there doesn't seem to be much money coming from places where he does not wield any influence.
00:08:31.000Another kind of key point, and again, I say this because I know what they tried doing to the Trump Organization.
00:08:37.000Oh my God, he owns a building that he still owns as president.
00:08:58.000They have no track record of business, making millions, and nothing seems to happen.
00:09:05.000Notice that George Santos, the new congressman just elected in this last cycle, has already been indicted for some of the stuff that he allegedly did in a few months.
00:09:15.000And it's clear now that since 2018, they knew about Joe Biden doing this.
00:09:20.000They had whistleblowers, and yet they allowed him to assume the presidency.
00:09:23.000They allowed him to assume the then-Democrat Party nomination.
00:09:29.000They knew it all and it didn't matter.
00:09:31.000You add that to what we already know about the Biden's ties to the Chinese energy giant CECF, and now Hunter inked lucrative deals in China, Ukraine, at the same time that Joe Biden was in charge of...
00:09:48.000You guessed it, the Ukraine and China portfolios while he was vice president under Obama.
00:09:57.000But again, guys, as usual, we're seeing more stonewalling from the Bidens.
00:10:02.000Allies in the FBI... Over the Bidens, because, you know, let's face it, the FBI is run by, I'd argue, the most corrupted officials in the history of our country, the most partisan hacks there are.
00:10:15.000That's not the door kickers. Those guys do their jobs, and they want to deal with the corruption.
00:10:19.000But, you know, if you say anything, you're fired and you're gone and you have no chance of promotion.
00:10:25.000If you're a leftist and you're the Bidens there.
00:10:27.000So their allies, the Biden allies, at the FBI... Do not want to comply with the House Oversight Committee's subpoena compelling the production of an FBI document that a whistleblower alleged described as criminal bribery scheme involving then Vice President Joe Biden.
00:10:47.000I mean, think about that. We'll not hand over a document from a whistleblower.
00:10:53.000And I remember there was a time not that long ago, like two and a half years ago, where whistleblowers were beyond reproach.
00:11:52.000And think about that, guys. It's not like it was a hometown crowd at Newsmax or a conservative place.
00:11:59.000No, no, no. This was done and set up and orchestrated by CNN. CNN, okay?
00:12:06.000You think Joe Biden would do something like that?
00:12:09.000Now, if you have any doubt about who won last night, just look at how liberals have responded.
00:12:16.000CNN itself is even criticizing themselves.
00:12:22.000That's when you know it's a win, folks.
00:12:25.000Its own media reporter, Oliver Darcy, wrote last night that CNN's own CEO, Chris Light, is facing, quote, internal criticism, and that it felt, quote, like 2016 all over again.
00:12:42.000AOC, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the queen communists, went on CNN's liberal competitor, MSNBC, many known as MSDNC, and she couldn't even hide her rage.
00:12:59.000Check this out. You know, I know you said earlier that you will not comment on the platforming of such atrocious disinformation, but I would.
00:13:09.000I think it was a profoundly irresponsible decision.
00:13:12.000I don't think that I would be doing my job if I did not say that.
00:13:18.000You want to really know that we're winning?
00:13:21.000The Lincoln Project founder, Rick Wilson.
00:13:23.000Many know it as the Pedo Project, right?
00:13:26.000The biggest never-Trumpers in the world.
00:14:51.000He goes into the lion's den and responds, and it's That's a problem?
00:15:01.000You mean you didn't get the answers you wanted, you didn't get to crush him, you didn't own him?
00:15:06.000Even though you had all the time in the world to set that up, he crushes you, and that's the problem.
00:15:12.000Maybe lying to the American people about Trump for the last seven years is the problem.
00:15:17.000Maybe moments like this is why people see what Trump's really all about.
00:15:22.000The town hall went so poorly for CNN that they threw in the towel.
00:15:26.000Media reporter Dylan Byers wrote, note, the CNN town hall was a 90-minute broadcast, though the network expected the actual event to go as long as 75 minutes.
00:15:43.000Think about that, folks. They stopped early.
00:15:45.000If you don't think that this was rating's goal, right, they had viewers like CNN's probably never had, but they threw in the towel.
00:15:55.000In other words, they could have gone longer if they wanted to, which is usually what you do When big people are drawing big ratings, but they cut because it was so bad for them.
00:19:26.000Politics there. They're sitting there writing endless checks to keep this thing going so their buddies can get rich and can get a board seat at Raytheon.
00:19:37.000Here's Trump calling for energy independence.
00:19:44.000Why would we want energy independence when we can be dependent on Venezuela and Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terror for our oil and gas needs?
00:19:53.000Or we can get our lithium batteries and our wind farms manufactured almost 100% in China...
00:20:00.000The materials going into the lithium-ion batteries mined by child slave labor in terrible conditions in, let's just call it, far less than environmental standards.
00:20:10.000Here's what Trump had to say about it.
00:20:12.000Hi, thank you so much for coming to New Hampshire to answer our questions.
00:21:04.000Be energy independent, which is also a national security thing, right?
00:21:08.000We don't have to be dependent on Russia, Iran, Venezuela, the rest of the Middle East.
00:21:15.000Shocking! Who would want to be energy independent when we can depend on, again, Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terror for our energy needs.
00:21:24.000I'm sure that'll go well. In the end, I mean, what are these people thinking?
00:21:29.000And the regular people in the town halls, they get it.
00:21:51.000After the town hall, CNN gathered together in focus groups And a bogus group, a New Hampshire woman, called out CNN's own BS about the bogus trial in New York.
00:22:04.000Watch this one. Here he is at this town hall today.
00:22:09.000I've never met her before, and just making fun of her.
00:22:12.000How did that make you feel as a woman?
00:23:24.000I mean, we're being led by a clown show whose only ability is to sign whatever the radicals that are actually in charge of our country put in front of them.
00:23:34.000At this point, why would Ron DeSantis even enter the race?
00:23:40.000In this primary, right now, after that performance and after all the polling we've seen for the last few months against Trump, is literally a dollar in support of Joe Biden at this point.
00:23:51.000It is literally a dollar to fund the Democrats, draining our coffers, preventing us from being able to start up The ballot harvesting machine in the states that we're going to have to do that because we're going to have to play the games that the Democrats play, right? It's clear who the nominee is going to be, but if others jump in this race to be able to essentially get their consultants rich so they can get 10% of the money raised or 20% of the money raised and 20% of the commercial buys to try to simultaneously hurt Trump,
00:24:26.000Well, they're the ones that are going to be giving you another four years of the incompetence that we're witnessing at the gas pump, in the stock market, on our grocery shelves.
00:24:42.000With our interest rates, when we have a president that can't find himself in a way off of a stage, you know, there's usually like, go back the way you came.
00:24:52.000He can't even remember that after a couple seconds of prepared remarks.
00:24:55.000He can't even get through those remarks.
00:24:59.000This game gets ugly and it's disgusting.
00:25:03.000But if they're pushing for DeSantis and others to run, it's because the people who are actually pulling the strings are going to get rich from it.
00:25:16.000And any dollar that's going there to hurt Trump in this process at this point, with this obvious lead, with the obvious ability to go in there, with the obvious ability to be the only one actually consistent to end the wars and to stop the bloodshed and death that we're seeing every day.
00:25:32.000Remember the DeSantis flip-flop because the donors apparently didn't like that he took like the Trump-lite approach.
00:25:39.000There's no chance, but every dollar spent in this primary at this point on is going to elect Joe Biden.
00:28:40.000Okay? Just remember this cure is a little spelled differently.

00:29:02.000So with that, guys, we're going to go to Corey Mills, my good friend, combat veteran, congressman from the great state of Florida and all around amazing American.

00:30:16.000But yeah, we make sure that we bring a little flavor into the office here in D.C. Yeah, I mean, maybe that's an important one.
00:30:23.000Not only are you a decorated combat vet, but you've actually also been manufacturing stuff for the United States military.
00:30:30.000So I definitely, you know, I'd love to hear your take on some of the stuff that's going on in the military right now.
00:30:36.000Because when I hear about, you know, the woke propaganda being pushed, when I see the nonsense and, you know, the Navy, I mean, I'm sure as an Army guy for you, this was probably great.
00:32:18.000And myself and Congressman Jim Banks and Congressman Matt Gates, we've been going after them in
00:32:22.000our military personnel, our MilPERS committee hearings and explain to the fact that our
00:32:26.000deficit right now is because you drug down the morale and weakened our military to a
00:32:31.000point like you said that I'm not confident as a defense capabilities.
00:32:35.000We have the strongest military in the world, but I can tell you our enemies are not thinking about pronouns of he, him, she, her, they, them.
00:32:42.000Not even a little bit, just so we're clear.
00:32:45.000They're spending exactly zero time doing DEI and ESG and woke bullshit.
00:32:56.000I mean, look, at the end of the day, we have to get back to what our military is about.
00:33:00.000It's serving our country, not serving anyone's political agenda.
00:33:03.000And so what we've done from the very beginning was talk about the fact that we're at a deficit.
00:33:08.000You know, China now has the largest navy in the world.
00:33:11.000They're outbuilding us 50 to 1 right now.
00:33:13.000They're moving forward with their geopolitical alignments of Russia and Iran and North Korea, some of the worst players in the actual country.
00:33:21.000They're coming after to eliminate the US dollar from the global currency through resource and economic and trade war.
00:33:28.000And meanwhile, we got Joe Biden thinking that he can continue his basement run, picking, you know, his hardest decision throughout the day is what flavor of ice cream he's going to get.
00:33:37.000And meanwhile, we're going ahead and utilizing and weaponizing our federal government like they have with the DA, you know, in New York to try and come after conservatives.
00:33:47.000And I mean, it's just a complete joke.
00:33:50.000Well, listen, I want to get to that because that was a sort of big topic of the CNN town hall.
00:33:55.000So I got to get your reaction on that one.
00:33:56.000But, you know, you're talking about that sort of two-tiered justice system.
00:34:00.000And that's very clear. I mean, I don't even know much of the details, but I see, you know, the DOJ is going after George Santos, a new freshman congressman.
00:34:10.000So he's been in the job for, let's call it, Four months at this point from when he was in there.
00:34:16.000And they were able to charge him, indict him, all this, and figure it all out in four months.
00:34:23.000There's FBI data about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden.
00:34:27.000And we know those investigations, Hunter, have been open for a few years.
00:34:31.000And it seems like they knew about it much earlier, as early as 2018 for Joe.
00:34:36.000They allowed him to then become the Democrat nominee and ultimately the President of the United States.
00:34:41.000And there's still nothing from them, and yet they can act on a freshman congressman in four months.
00:34:48.000Talk about that, because, you know, it's mind-boggling to me.
00:34:53.000Well, look, at the end of the day, Republicans and conservatives, the American people as a whole, has really been primarily focused on these top tickets, right?
00:35:01.000So it's always the president and the senator and the governor and the United States congressman.
00:35:05.000And we've really left out how significant a lot of these, you know, lower-tier ticket numbers are, like when it comes to attorney general races.
00:35:14.000And let's not take anything away from the Democrats and the Socialists.
00:35:17.000They're unified and they're very smart in their approach.
00:35:19.000They've utilized our schools with taking over school boards and teachers' unions to indoctrinate our children to have a generational shift.
00:35:26.000They have utilized influence campaigns.
00:35:29.000They have utilized weaponizing the AGs to come after conservatives.
00:35:32.000And like you just talked about, they can process, you know, whatever the wire fraud, you know,
00:35:38.000accusations are or the money laundering or racketeering, whatever it is.
00:35:42.000If it's a conservative, they can process it in four months.
00:35:45.000But when it comes to something like Hunter Biden's laptop, or it comes to the Biden criminal
00:35:49.000family that the oversight committee just basically had, or it comes to like, I mean, I mean,
00:35:56.000The oversight committee not only has found Hunter Biden and the entire family to be profitable,
00:36:01.000we've got revenue in the millions from China, from Romania, from foreign countries who are
00:36:05.000actually trying to buy an influence into us.
00:36:08.000And now you've got the Oversight Committee who has established a network of over 20 LLC companies, this spider web of LLCs that have been utilized to trickle in the 10% for the big guy.
00:36:19.000Now, they can't get busy and worry about things like that, but they can go after George Santos, and they can go after...
00:36:54.000Like, there's a history of, like, why would you start building?
00:36:58.000These LLCs that were magically doing all this international business, like, sprung up this second Joe Biden took power.
00:37:06.000And they only sprung up in the areas that he was actually directly having influence over.
00:37:12.000I mean, that's so important because it's like, Well, maybe magically, Hunter was really good at international business.
00:37:17.000He's good at some stuff, like smoking crack and maybe videoing himself excessively, but probably not international business.
00:37:26.000But it wasn't like he picked countries That Joe had no influence.
00:37:31.000The only places that were actually paying him were the places that there was that direct influence.
00:37:36.000They only magically popped up, not decades in advance because he was actually doing something in those places, but they popped up literally the second there was the opportunity to take advantage of his father's publicly held office.
00:37:50.000Well, and to your point, the Trump dynasty has essentially been building for decades.
00:37:56.000But meanwhile, I can recall very well where James Biden all of a sudden had a construction company and was getting millions of dollars in contracts in Iraq, who had never done any international construction prior to this actual, you know, competing with companies like KBR and Parsons.
00:38:19.000I mean, I'm sure he made millions, but the deals failed because, surprisingly, a guy that's never done building, a guy that's never done construction, and a guy that certainly hasn't done those things in an international marketplace magically couldn't actually deliver.
00:38:37.000So, you know, they take their millions, they subcontract it out to someone else, and the Bidens get rich.
00:38:47.000It's sort of amazing. I got vilified for running a successful business just because it was tailored towards supporting law enforcement.
00:38:55.000At one point, believe it or not, I actually had a letter from Cori Bush and the Oversight and Reform Subcommittee demanding that my company...
00:39:06.000Tell them where I gave tear gas to which law enforcement departments during the BLM riots.
00:39:12.000I mean, I'm trying to support the men and women in blue to try and helping to secure the cities that were actually being ransacked.
00:39:19.000And they wanted to come after me for this.
00:39:21.000And I literally told them this is before I was a candidate.
00:39:23.000This is before I had, you know, won my seat.
00:39:25.000And I said, by all means, I welcome you to subpoena me.
00:39:28.000And clearly they didn't want to do that.
00:39:33.000You get crap for supporting law enforcement and manufacturing and doing stuff in America and creating jobs, but the problem was that you supplied it to stop literal riots, things that I was told would qualify as insurrection.
00:39:47.000And fight terrorism. Yes, domestic terrorism, if it was done by a conservative, but when it's done by the leftists, the people who supply the things to perhaps quell said insurrection are actually the ones getting letters from Congress.
00:39:59.000I was quelling a mostly peaceful protest, remember?
00:41:21.000You're exactly right. I think that if you listened to the applause alone that was in that room, it was very clear that while CNN may have invited the president on to try and frame him or paint him into a certain corner, he came out very strong, in my opinion.
00:41:41.000One of my favorite parts Because the left has been trying to utilize this for so long about the January 6th incident is when he literally pulled from his coat the page and it said...
00:41:54.000I brought this and it's hard and you saw that this started to annoy the host or the moderator of this town hall to an extent that she became very rude towards the end which I was very happy the president called her out for this nastiness.
00:42:09.000Look, if CNN wants to bring on President Trump, then you're bringing on President Trump, and you're not going to get President Trump at 50%.
00:42:15.000You're getting President Trump in his entirety.
00:42:18.000And that is bringing the facts, bringing the receipts.
00:42:20.000But I personally think, in all honesty, the response from the crowd And the amount of applause was very clear that the American people liked what he had to say and they were very happy about this.
00:42:32.000I don't think CNN is going to ever bring your dad back on for this.
00:42:35.000It didn't go the way they wanted it to, but I personally think his dad had a very strong showing.
00:42:40.000Yeah, I know earlier in the day, I think it was, they promoted Caitlin Collins to lead the 9 o'clock hour.
00:42:46.000So the only person that was perhaps CNN-like was Don Lemon, who probably loved that, I guess, his replacement got absolutely destroyed on the stage.
00:42:56.000And that was, I think, you know, listen, I'm not going to lie to you.
00:43:00.000Like, this is going to be the first sort of big venue that we're going to do, and we're going to give CNN the chance to have 90 minutes to take a...
00:43:06.000Pot shot at you. And, you know, they stopped it early because it was like they threw in the towel, right?
00:43:10.000It was the bloodbath. They took the mercy rule and they stopped it.
00:43:15.000So, you know, you don't usually stop something when the ratings are good unless it's that bad for the rest of the narrative, I guess, that they're trying to talk about.
00:43:25.000And you know as well, by the way, speaking of ratings, when President Trump was doing his debates in 2016 and 2020, It was the highest rating that that actual program had ever seen.
00:43:38.000It was so bad that the NFL commissioner actually even said, can you not host the debates on a Monday because it impacts our ratings?
00:44:32.000It continued. But what was cool and what was good is you saw Trump in sort of peak form, where even if they're vicious, even if, as he said, she got nasty and interrupted him constantly when he's in the middle of a thought and whatever it was, he kept his cool and she totally lost her composure.
00:44:50.000And I think that was really important because you see the hatred From the other side.
00:44:56.000And again, I don't even think it's the other side, because I think there's plenty of moderate Democrats in America right now that are looking at our country, that are looking at any metric, whether it's inflation or gas prices or grocery store prices or, you know, war, and saying, oh boy.
00:45:29.000All the things that you just listed, right?
00:45:32.000If you look at the political environment right now, we as a nation are not viewed as being the world leader that we were under President Trump.
00:45:41.000If you look at the fact that foreign policy and domestic policy is so intrinsically linked, We need someone who understands, has a proven track record in this.
00:45:50.000No one has done it better than President Trump.
00:45:53.000Look at the Abrams Accord. Look at the trade deals where we actually held China accountable at the China Phase 1 deal that brought billions of dollars to our agricultural and our farmers throughout the country.
00:46:05.000Look at what's going on in the border crisis and the fact that this was not occurring at all whenever he was in the presidency.
00:46:11.000Look at us economically, where we were actually thriving above everyone.
00:46:15.000We were reestablishing things, getting rid of failed trade deals like NAFTA, replacing it with USMCA, making sure that our adversaries were held accountable, but also our allies were paying their 2% of NATO and ensuring that they were fitting their bills, not just the American people continue to foot the bills.
00:46:29.000We were on an America first trajectory when it came to American dominance, not American independence of energy, American dominance.
00:46:37.000We had refilled our SPRs, our Strategic Petroleum Reserves.
00:46:40.000We need a president who has a proven track record of actually getting our nation back on track.
00:46:46.000But here's the greatest part about President Trump.
00:46:48.000And I was blessed. As you know, I got invited to Mar-a-Lago to a dinner there, and I was able to sit next to the president, and we had a discussion on 24th.
00:46:55.000He doesn't have something that everyone else has which is a reelection looming over his head.
00:47:01.000The decisions that need to be made are going to be very difficult and very unpopular decisions that we have to have such a course correction to put America back on track as a global leader that anyone who comes in who is thinking about a re-election, that's going to be their focus not on getting the country back on track.
00:47:19.000President Trump is only concerned with getting an America first agenda and America back as the global leader and that's what we need right now more than ever.
00:47:27.000Honestly, I think that's such an important point, right?
00:47:30.000Because you see that with the people that either, you know, they need the donor money to run that re-election and to keep those campaigns going.
00:47:37.000You know, they need to sort of be loved by the people in Washington, D.C. Like, a one-term Trump president...
00:47:44.000Is, to me, so much more effective because he doesn't have to try to play nice.
00:47:58.000I guess I... I don't want to say naive because I don't think he's a naive guy, but you assume that the people in D.C., they're there because they're public servants.
00:49:18.000And just like with any business, and me as a former business owner, I know that when I would do an acquisition on a company, you would go in and do something called an activity-based costing.
00:49:26.000You're doing this ABC to determine who do you keep, who do you not, how does this mesh with the greater picture of things.
00:49:31.000You don't go in and just cut the heads off of everything, right?
00:50:17.000That's so good. And you're right. I mean, his accomplishments were incredible.
00:50:20.000And that was really with sort of, even though he had a mandate from the voters, no one in D.C. wanted to go along with that, including so many of the Republicans.
00:50:27.000That was sort of the Paul Ryan mentality.
00:50:28.000We can't build a wall. That may offend someone who's not an American citizen.
00:50:33.000Like, wait a minute. But that doesn't stop anything.
00:50:36.000So, yeah, no, I mean, it feels like a no-brainer, and we've got to start focusing on that.
00:50:40.000Because I think we're also going to have to do a lot to prevent the Democrat machine, right?
00:50:44.000They've got umpteen billionaires that are donating to them blindly, the foreign money coming in, the ballot harvesting operations.
00:50:51.000I mean, they do that game, you know, much better than us.
00:50:54.000What are some of the things we have to do, you know, in my opinion, like I said earlier, it's, you know, Not blow hundreds of millions of dollars in an inevitable primary, but actually take that money to start up those operations in the states that matter so that we can compete against that Democrat machine.
00:51:11.000Because right now, again, in Pennsylvania, they elected John Fetterman, who's, let's call it six beers short of a six-pack, a borderline vegetable.
00:51:21.000And I mean that with all due respect to vegetables, but like, This is not a man that should be making trillion-dollar decisions.
00:51:28.000This is not a man capable of those things.
00:51:32.000Again, people say I'm an ableist, which means I'm discriminating against those with disabilities, but I don't think it's an unreasonable expectation for me to think that a United States senator or a United States president should be able to have basic cognitive function.
00:51:47.000That seems like it's part of the job and a job description criteria.
00:51:51.000That doesn't seem to matter these days.
00:51:53.000But John Fetterman can get elected in Pennsylvania.
00:51:57.000Joe Biden can get elected President of the United States.
00:52:02.000That ain't because the average person in America actually believes that, but if you're running a harvesting operation, if you're able to manipulate that, if you have those teams on the ground collecting those ballots, filling it in, telling people what they want to hear so they give you their ballot, that's a very different game.
00:52:17.000And we need to be playing it, in my opinion.
00:52:19.000What are your thoughts on what we should be doing there?
00:52:22.000Well, you're exactly right. The bottom line is that we have to utilize a lot of Democrat games and play the game better than they are.
00:52:28.000You know, it's one of those things, you play the game until you can change the game.
00:52:30.000The issue with us is that you saw where the Democrats, they play to win, and the Republicans play not to lose.
00:52:36.000And those, while they sound the same, they are not the same in any way.
00:52:40.000We're not there to try, and just to keep it out there, you've got a lot of Republicans as well who, They're not thinking about wanting to save the republic.
00:52:49.000They're thinking about wanting to save their seat, to save their actual title, save their actual position.
00:52:56.000You know, the great thing about serving in the military is that you actually serve a mission or a purpose or an objective that's greater than yourself.
00:53:01.000We should take that exact same thing, given you take the same oath when we come in as elected officials.
00:53:05.000So I think exactly what you talked about, whether it's getting out the vote, whether it's early voting, whether it's ballot harvesting, whatever the case may be, Whatever game they're playing, we have to stop as conservatives playing defense and start playing offense to win this next election.
00:53:19.000Can you update us on some of the work that you're doing in committee?
00:53:23.000What have been some of the major wins so far?
00:53:33.000What's going on there? Well, I'll tell you, you know, one of the things I came to Washington, I never wanted to run for office.
00:53:39.000I was fine supporting great conservative candidates, great Americans like Ronnie Jackson and Jim Jordan and, you know, some of these really staunch, you know, constitutionalists.
00:53:48.000But I just saw where, exactly like I just pointed out, you had a lot of Republicans in here who were more worried about saving their seat than saving the republic.
00:53:54.000And when I came in here, I came in here to do a job.
00:53:57.000And in my actual short time that I'm here, I already have a bill that's already in committee right now, H.R. 863, which is a publishing house bill.
00:54:06.000When I say that, I talk about all seven articles, 27 amendments, when they're ratified, because these are our guard bills, our safeguards as the federally elected officials.
00:54:14.000And so I don't believe in stomping on 10th Amendment rights, which are state and individual rights.
00:54:19.000I think that more government doesn't mean better governance.
00:54:22.000I think limited government and empowerment of the private sector and the American people is the way to go.
00:54:27.000But H.R. 863, I think, goes to the crux of one of the biggest issues, which is the indoctrination of our children, the sexualization of our children, this predatory prey mechanism whereby my bill goes after the publishing houses, whether it's McGraw-Hill or Scholastics or any of the others, and it says, if you print any...
00:54:45.000Pornographic or inappropriate material, the intent to distribute to a primary or secondary school, not only are you going to be hit with a $500,000 fine, but the highest ranking member who actually approves the distribution of this indoctrinating and sexualization into our schools will receive a minimum of a one-year, one-day sentence in prison and the continuation of being registered as a sex predator the rest of your life.
00:55:09.000We have to start going after things like this.
00:55:11.000I have co-sponsored over 40 plus bills.
00:55:14.000We've got over 120 plus committee hearings that we've already done.
00:55:17.000Some of our committee hearings talk about what we talk about, strengthening our military,
00:55:21.000making sure that we stop the DEI and the pronouns and the weakening and wokeness that's actually
00:55:26.000trying to destroy our military, going after Secretary Blinken and the others to hold
00:55:31.000accountable for the botched Afghan withdrawal, holding sanctions on countries like Iran,
00:55:36.000like we're looking at with the MASA Act or like we're looking at with the Mahan Air
00:55:40.000sanctioning, you know, getting back to not just holding accountable the adversaries,
00:55:44.000but holding accountable the elected officials that are under, as you and I discussed,
00:55:47.000that two-tiered justice system. That's why I drafted my articles of impeachment
00:55:51.000against Secretary Lloyd Austin. That's why I do believe that Secretary Mayorca,
00:55:56.000under Pat Fallon's H. Res. 8, should be impeached for what's happening at the borders.
00:56:01.000And so we are actually coming in here, and I think that, to be honest with you, the 118th Congress
00:56:06.000has done more in a conservative agenda than anyone before us.
00:56:10.000We've rescinded the 87,000 deep state IRS funding.
00:56:13.000We have put a budget in place that actually allows us to claw back $1.2 trillion.
00:56:18.000We've actually put in the RAINS Act, which stops over-regulations, which stifles and destroys businesses.
00:56:24.000The federal government, I need to correct this for everyone, does not create jobs.
00:56:28.000The private sector and industry not only creates a stronger contract, But they're the job creators out there.
00:56:35.000The only thing the federal government does is over-regulate, overburden, stifle, and shut down businesses.
00:56:40.000And the idea of ESG, which needs to be eliminated, like CRT, DEI, and all the rest, we need to start having industry-drive policy, not policy-drive industry.
00:56:50.000And as someone who came from one of the most over-regulated industries in America, utilizing having to go through state, having to go through DOD, having to go to BATFE, We need to stop with bureaucrats who are unelected bureaucrats who think they're lawmakers and start bringing back the powers back into Congress, which is why myself and Congressman Matt Gaetz have been so adamant about removing this authorization of use of military force of the 2001-2002 abdication.
00:57:17.000Of, you know, Article 1, Section 8, which is our war power authority.
00:57:21.000That's what we're about right now in the 118th Congress.
00:57:24.000And I can tell you, I'm not going to stop fighting for this.
00:57:26.000I'm not going to stop believing in our nation, our republic, our constitutionality.
00:57:32.000And so even if I'm not your district rep, because I represent the 7th District of Florida, if you believe in constitutionality, freedoms, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, I am your representative here in D.C. Well, yeah, and guys, I've had these conversations with Corey, and he's beyond a constitutionalist nerd, okay?
00:57:54.000Now, I like, listen, I like your bill.
00:57:57.000You talk about some of the details of that, because, I mean, what's going on, you know, hey, I know you're not allowed to use the word groomers, but, like, give me a break.
00:58:03.000Like, there's no reason, you know, in Florida when they're like, you know, you can't have the drag queen show if you're going to be catering to children.
00:58:10.000Well, then we're not going to have it.
00:58:11.000I'm like, well, why do you need, So you're going to cancel it.
00:58:16.000Without the children, it doesn't work.
00:59:06.000When people start talking about the free speech argument, which is also paramount and fundamental in our Constitution.
00:59:11.000Absolutely. Look, I'm a huge First Amendment supporter.
00:59:14.000I mean, look, I was the one that actually wrote a letter here from Congress to even go towards the Speaker of the Florida House and the President when we talked about the defamation bill that would have put things like the SCOTUS ruling of New York Times for Sullivan into the mix and would have actually violated free speech And actually endangered, in my opinion, some of the whistleblowers who would have had to have been outed because they would have been listed as an anonymous source, right?
00:59:38.000And I get it. Big media, they've abused and they've lied and they've defamed many of us.
00:59:43.000But that doesn't mean that we can violate 1A rights.
00:59:45.000When it comes to my bill, I'm not saying that the publishing houses, they can print as much of this crap as they want.
00:59:50.000Go put it in Barnes& Noble, Books A Million, or any of the other places.
00:59:54.000What I'm saying is that taxpayers' money Cannot be spent on this to be indoctrinating and sexualizing our children in public schools.
01:00:04.000Ah, okay. That was the nuance I missed.
01:00:06.000I got you. Yeah. And so it doesn't violate one amendment.
01:00:09.000They can print six billion copies of whatever they want.
01:00:12.000Go, you know, print something on, you know, Queer Eye or whatever the case that book was that was actually being put into the age group of eight.
01:00:20.000Third grade was learning about these types of things.
01:00:22.000You know, they think that they put an anime or cartoon form That this somehow is justifying it.
01:00:27.000And it's not. We need to get back to teaching civics.
01:00:30.000When I was in school, I didn't even know if my teacher was, you know, married or...
01:00:35.000And only way if I knew they had kids is if their kids were actually in our school or in my class.
01:00:40.000And that's what we need to get back to because the left is utilizing this in a groomer fashion.
01:00:45.000You're exactly right. For this predatory prey mechanism, they are utilizing non-kinetic influence operations, these propaganda misinformation kind of CCP-based operations, To indoctrinate the minds of our children.
01:00:57.000And that's what you're seeing right now.
01:00:59.000In my personal opinion, all of this gun violence that we're seeing that everyone wants to vilify the weapon for, like we just saw, whether it's in Allen, Texas or wherever, this is a mental health matter.
01:01:11.000This is not about trying to vilify or take away the Second Amendment rights, though the left, that's what they want to try to do.
01:01:18.000But why do they have these mental health isms?
01:01:19.000Because of transgenderism, pansexuality, all of these things that they're now being taught and grown up in without identifying the root cause of why you have so many people in the youth that are actually doing this.
01:01:30.000So my bill basically tries to get back to what education is supposed to be, not trying to create the next evolution or the next generation of, you know, kind of the mentally ill.
01:01:39.000Yeah, you take advantage of a very young and very impressionable mind.
01:01:43.000You jack them up on hormones and other meds with no real long-term studies on them.
01:01:50.000And what could possibly go wrong, Corey?
01:01:52.000I mean, it seems like a recipe for success.
01:01:54.000Well, think about it. There's an age group for tattoos.
01:01:57.000There's an age group to join the military.
01:01:59.000But yet, a child can mutilate their body?
01:02:02.000Yeah, no, that's my favorite analogy when it's like, you're telling me a three-year-old, influenced by their, you know, rainbow-haired freak teacher, should be able to get these, you saw the Washington bill, there's the Wisconsin bill, like, well, if you don't let your child do this, we're gonna take them away from you.
01:02:18.000I mean, they're, like, sanctioning, like, legalized kidnapping of a kid to make a permanent, life-altering decision 15 years before that person could buy a pack of cigarettes.
01:02:28.000Just so we're clear exactly what it means.
01:02:33.000You can't discriminate against someone who is sexually attracted to minors.
01:02:38.000You know, the MAPS, the minor-attracted people, or the YAPS, the youth-attracted persons.
01:02:43.000Like, they're trying to normalize sexual deviance They're trying to make them a protected class, something that would put people in jail for.
01:02:52.000You couldn't discriminate against that.
01:02:55.000You have to let that person work at a daycare center, perhaps.
01:02:59.000I mean, these people have lost their minds, and this is the platform of the left today.
01:03:04.000There's no decency or reasonableness, but big tech will censor that.
01:03:28.000Look, the left is not even trying to be covert about their socialist, Marxist, kind of predatory manner anymore.
01:03:34.000I mean, these are the same, you know, when I'm sitting here in Congress, we had over 140 plus Democrats who wouldn't even vote to condemn the evils of socialism.
01:03:43.000I mean, these are the types of people who are up in arms right now over putting a border security plan in place.
01:03:50.000And you're right. You mentioned a lot of state legislation.
01:03:53.000State legislators, which is why I'm a huge...
01:03:55.000I wish we didn't have the 17th Amendment, which basically a lot of Americans don't know this, but state legislators actually used to elect our U.S. Senators.
01:04:03.000And that was what was the federal and state kind of checks and balance.
01:04:07.000And now, once we had the popular vote in 1913, now you see where federal government's out of control and state legislators are being disenfranchised when they put together bills that matter to the people because they're actually with the people the most often.
01:04:20.000And so, you know, Indiana came out with a bill and Greg Stuby has now come out with a similar bill on a federal level that I've co-sponsored to ban foreign ownership of our farmlands, to get American lands back into American hands, to stop allowing the Chinese to come in here and You know, basically start indoctrinating and utilizing their influences.
01:04:39.000Like, these are the types of great pieces of legislation that we're looking to push, and a lot of it originates from state legislation, like you talked about, whether it was MAPS or YAPS or any of this other stuff that we're trying to either prevent or, you know, trying in some places to pass.
01:04:52.000Like, we have to start taking note that the left is being very overt in their destruction of our republic and the America Last Agenda.
01:05:26.000How do you get these things over the line so we can lock something in, so we can take ideas that are great and make them wins that actually make the other side vote against common sense practices like that?
01:05:43.000And I love hearing that there's finally action, because the Republicans have usually been very good about talking, not so good about doing.
01:05:49.000But how do you get that done and over the line?
01:05:52.000Well, I think that it's really simple for us on this one.
01:05:54.000And we're kind of lucky, and it's a travesty at the same time, that we have to talk about the debt ceiling.
01:05:58.000But when you look at the debt ceiling, in order for us to be able to get to an actual negotiation period, a lot of the bills that we've already passed in the House have to also be guaranteed to be pushed through as part of this increase.
01:06:11.000And I think that when you talk about the RAINS Act, when you talk about the Texas border plan that we're getting ready to vote on today, HR2, when you talk about HR1, which is domestic energy bills, We're good to go.
01:06:49.000If you don't like to see what the Senate is doing, then vote them out.
01:06:52.000Give us an actual Senate majority and watch the House majority and the Senate majority go to work.
01:06:57.000But for right now, we utilize the tools that we have available to us, whether it is the debt ceiling, whether it is the upcoming NDAA, whether it is the farm bills, whether it is the border plans.
01:07:07.000All of these things, we have to start coming in.
01:07:09.000If we're going to say we're the majority, we have to start acting like the majority.
01:07:13.000When it was the left in charge, they strong-armed everybody.
01:07:18.000And to Speaker McCarthy's credit, as well as for Leader Scalise and the rest, We're good to go.
01:07:39.000And the Somalia bill come to the floor.
01:07:41.000We talked about stopping over-regulation and helping to strengthen the economy.
01:07:45.000We've got HR1, which is our domestic energy, but also we passed HR21 that stops Joe Biden from selling our strategic petroleum reserves, which he sold over 40% to China, the country who's actually out to destroy us.
01:07:58.000And so we're delivering on the promises we made in our campaign.
01:08:01.000And if we weren't, trust me, I would not be sitting here talking about what we have done, but I'd be talking about why the Republican Party is not delivering on the promises that we've made.
01:08:10.000So this border bill today, by the way, is a very important one, especially with the expiration of Title 42, which will see a migrant surge of up to 18,000 people per day.
01:08:22.000I mean, let's take all the numbers here.
01:08:45.000I mean, we have more people coming across our border every day than we utilized in D-Day to fight the Nazis.
01:08:53.000The German army, a very formidable fighting force, misguided and insane and leadership, everything terrible, but like a real fighting force.
01:09:04.000And we're getting more people a day in.
01:09:08.000Look, at the end of the day, let's look at the numbers here.
01:09:11.000Last year, you had 2.3 million that we know about for encounters that came across, of which, by the way, these are from multiple nations.
01:09:19.000It's not just South America. We had Haiti, we had Yemen, we had Chinese, we had Russian, we had Ukrainians, all coming across our southern border.
01:09:29.000We're at $1.3 million already for this year.
01:09:33.000And let's go to the cartels themselves.
01:09:35.000In 2018, the cartels was making around $500 million a year.
01:09:40.000A lot of money. Let's fast forward to last year under Joe Biden.
01:09:44.000Last year they had $13 billion, of which around 46% was just child and sex trafficking.
01:09:51.000This is a humanitarian crisis, this is a national security crisis, and this is a health crisis.
01:09:57.000And you're trying to tell me that the conflicts that are going on 9,000 miles away are supposed to be more important than the one that's 900 miles away that's killing 70,000 people with fentanyl overdose, and we're worried about labeling other terrorist organizations abroad.
01:10:14.000What we should be looking at is how we designate these cartels who are doing far more damage to America, who are killing far more Americans, who are poisoning our children, who are leading to more atrocities than ever.
01:10:27.000Our fight is sitting at the southern border, and that's why HR2 is such a significant bill that we must pass today.
01:10:33.000Yeah, I mean, that's an interesting one.
01:10:34.000I mean, obviously, as a veteran, as someone who's fought for our country, I mean, How are the cartels not designated as enemy combatants?
01:10:45.000I mean, I guess based on the math that you're saying, I mean, hey, if you took, you know, whether it's now or whether it catches up in a year, but based on the number of deaths, I mean, there's more deaths from some of our major wars.
01:11:09.000In this bill in HR2, to your point, that is why yesterday I was a no on this bill, as was Congresswoman Beth Van Dyne and many other members, Andy Biggs and Dan Bishop and Burchett and many others, until we got language in there.
01:11:27.000That actually ensured that the House, and to give you the idea of this, the House in this bill will have 60 days to commission or create a task force that will put on record an actual report to see whether or not the activities by the cartels does actually, you know, I think qualify as a designation of a terrorist
01:11:49.000organization or a designation of a a ununiformed military force. And so we need to go to
01:11:56.000And this is something that the Mexican president is not willing to even discuss because of
01:12:00.000the weak leadership. Now, when President Trump was in place and we were building the wall
01:12:05.000and we were supporting our CBP and ICE agents to do their job, we had Title 42 in place
01:12:09.000and we had the Remain in Mexico agreement there, you saw a whole different story. But
01:12:13.000when you've got Joe Biden in there who can't formulate two full sentences or even knows
01:12:18.000where the border is, nor does the border czar, Colin Milhollin Harris, we have to put strong
01:12:23.000language. I promise you, H.R. 2, this is directly from the mouth of Chip Roy, said that this
01:12:29.000is the most conservative border plan that he has ever seen and likely the most conservative
01:12:34.000border plan in the last 40 plus years.
01:12:36.000you Well, listen, I think it's important.
01:12:40.000I just hope it doesn't get bureaucratized, you know, like everything else in DC, where the committee that looks at it, you know, takes tens of thousands of deaths annually from Fenton Hall and says, well, it's a little different because they sold it to someone else who sold it.
01:12:53.000You know, it's like when Apple has a great ESG score, Because, you know, the lithium mining done by the child slave labor, no, no, we farmed that out.
01:13:01.000That's with a different LLC. We subcontract that to a different company, so we're clear.
01:13:07.000Like, we didn't pull the trigger, even if we paid someone else to pull the trigger.
01:13:09.000I wonder what the Mexican cartel's ESG ratings are.
01:13:11.000I wonder how much DEI they're including this as they...
01:13:14.000Traffic women and children across and make billions of dollars.
01:13:18.000I mean, it's so comical to watch the left always talk about the significance of all these things or talk about environmental issues, but yet they'll go buy, you know, energy from one of those dirty countries possible and how they harvest.
01:13:29.000I mean, the hypocrisy of the left and what I have seen here has no bounds, but I am very confident that today, HR2, when it comes to the floor, We're going to be able to pass this bill, and we are going to be able to start addressing the issues because I can tell you what my plan was.
01:13:47.000I think that we should have kept Title 42 as permanent policy.
01:13:51.000I understand it was originally created for a public health emergency, which is what Title 42 is originated for, for the pandemic.
01:13:56.000But I would argue that the fentanyl pandemic is killing more people each year than COVID did.
01:14:04.000We should be keeping Title 42 in place because of the fentanyl crisis, which is a public health emergency.
01:14:09.000Well, 100%, and one far more severe with no end in sight.
01:14:13.000It's only snowballing and getting a lot worse.
01:14:16.000So I think that's awesome, and I think you're 100% right.
01:14:19.000I'll tell you, it's self-admittance, by the way, and I'll finish with this point on the border bill, but it's self-admittance when Joe Biden is deploying 1,500 troops to go down to the border to help support CBP at the time that Title 42 is going away that he...
01:14:36.000Think about it. If it's not an issue, it's not a crisis, and that Title 42 isn't a problem, why did you just send 1,500 people down there?
01:14:43.000If it wasn't an issue, you would have said, there's no reason to put it down there.
01:14:46.000But he knows what this is going to do, and he's encouraging it.
01:14:50.000Well, you know, again, there's no one holding them to task, other than perhaps people like myself or, you know, the media, you know, the press secretary can get there.
01:14:57.000Joe Biden's created more jobs than any president in history.
01:15:02.000Like, just, like, man, she can't, you know, it's like the body language, like she can't even look into the camera with a straight face.
01:15:08.000It's like, Joe Biden's created more jobs than any, you know, like, it's such a flagrant lie, but when they're doing their bidding, they can get away with it.
01:15:19.000It's exactly right. And thank God that there's, like, triggered or other types of media that's out there who's actually bringing the facts to the table, who, again, facts don't care about your feelings.
01:15:30.000We're bringing the actual receipts the same way that President Trump did at the CNN Town Hall, the same way that many of us did yesterday, because I'll tell you, this border bill was going nowhere without the proper language to address the issues like the cartels.
01:15:42.000And again, I have to give credit once more The great congresswoman, Beth Van Dyne, who literally, you know, her and I, we were all, there's quite a few of us, but I give her tremendous credit.
01:15:51.000She was standing in there, and I was standing right next to her saying, we're not budging unless we address the cartel issues.
01:15:57.000And so, you know, this one is saying we may lose at least one or two Republicans as a result of that language, but guess what?
01:16:04.000If we don't address this, and we allow these cartels to run amok, and we allow the Biden administration to get away with this, or we allow us to try and put Well, I'm sure I'll hear about it.
01:16:19.000But if you lose one or two Republicans, please make sure to text me.
01:16:22.000Let me know who they are, because I'm sure their voters would like to know that they don't want to address the issue of the cartels.
01:16:32.000The human trafficking associated therewith.
01:16:35.000The sex trafficking and drug trafficking associated therewith.
01:16:39.000The literal humanitarian crisis that they are causing.
01:16:42.000Because if there's a Republican that doesn't want to address that issue, they ain't a Republican, and their voters should know about that.
01:16:52.000And trust me, I'll shoot you a text today.
01:16:54.000I appreciate it. Listen, as a decorated Army veteran, talk about some of the perspective that gives you on how to assess America's standing abroad right now.
01:17:06.000Because I feel like You know, it started, it really started with Afghanistan, right?
01:17:11.000You could say, you know, they were kind of, all they had to do was nothing.
01:17:14.000You know, follow Trump's plan, have some balls, maybe a little resolve.
01:17:18.000Like, you know, no one's advocating for the never-ending wars, but there's a way to do it.
01:17:26.000Like, things that I know, as someone who didn't serve, and let's just say...
01:17:31.000I know jack shit about Afghanistan, but I knew there's a time of year where you want to be doing stuff and a time of year you don't.
01:17:37.000I know there's conditions you want to put in place.
01:17:39.000I know you don't want to leave, you know, $87 billion of equipment behind to people who used to throw homosexuals off buildings and, you know, burn journalists with gasoline, enslave young women and girls into sexual slavery.
01:17:56.000Like, you know, It started there, but it's gotten worse.
01:18:00.000But from a military's perspective, and as a decorated veteran, what are our allies and our enemies alike looking at as it relates to America's standing abroad?
01:18:10.000Because it's got to be rough right now.
01:18:12.000Well, like you talked about, I mean, between my military and government service, you know, I spent over seven years of my life in Iraq.
01:18:18.000I spent almost three years in Afghanistan, Kosovo, Pakistan, northern Somalia.
01:18:22.000Was blown up twice in Baghdad in 2006 with roadside IEDs with our teams.
01:18:26.000I mean, the bottom line is just that...
01:18:29.000I have gotten to an understanding of where warfare has evolved to, and I think that the rest of the Republican Party needs to get there as well, which is that the evolution of warfare is no longer just about bomb-to-bomb, gun-to-gun, bullet-to-bullet.
01:18:41.000It's now about non-kinetic and influence operations, the economic resource warfare and cyber warfare that's being launched by China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and this geopolitical alignment that is out to eliminate the U.S. dollar as a global currency, utilizing bad actors like WHO and WEF. We're good to go.
01:19:21.000People we had fought for over 20 plus years.
01:19:23.000Remember, the reason we went to Afghanistan was to do what?
01:19:26.000Stop it from being a safe haven of terrorism.
01:19:28.000Not only have we made it the safe haven of terrorism, but we've made it the most well-equipped, well-armed, well-prepared governmental terrorist organization in the world.
01:19:38.000And so the idea that we are doing this over and over and over makes me feel even more strong about what Congressman Gates and I and others are doing with trying to eliminate and repeal this authorization of use of military force that was launched in 2001 and 2002 that is being utilized by Republican Democrat presidents alike over the last 20 plus years in its unintended fashion and an abdication of our war power authorities.
01:20:05.000We have to get smarter About what the evolution of war has become.
01:20:10.000If we are energy dominant, if we stop reliancy on adversarial nations like Russia and China, if we stop this cash diplomacy, whereby the State Department and U.S.A. and all those things, oh, you're an enemy of ours?
01:20:24.000We give you $800 million of American taxpayers' money.
01:20:27.000You're our friend, right? No, they're an enemy with $800 million.
01:20:31.000And as President Trump said long ago, endless wars are stupid.
01:20:36.000We did not. You can't tell me right now that after the 20 plus years of fighting in Iraq, the 20 plus years in Afghanistan, that we as a nation are stronger and safer and more prosperous.
01:20:47.000It is contrary to our actual objectives, where we want to be economically strong, where we want to protect Americans on the American soil.
01:20:55.000And these neoconservative neoliberals who utilize this same catch-all phrase of, well, we can fight them over there or we can fight them here.
01:21:02.000Well, guess what? Let's address that issue.
01:21:04.000Our border had led 23 people across last year who were on a terrorist watch list, four of which were Yemeni military-aged males.
01:21:14.000You want to fight to make sure America is safe, secure, monetarily moving in the right direction?
01:21:21.000Secure our borders. Start energy independence.
01:21:30.000Eliminate ESG and CRT and DEI from our businesses, from our schools, from our military.
01:21:35.000Start getting back to what it is to be an American and protect the republic.
01:21:39.000That's what I see as a person who had served more than 10 plus years of my life overseas, as a person who was blessed to be a part of the Trump administration as a SecDef advisor with DBB and others.
01:21:49.000We have to go back to where we were during the president's actual administration under President Trump to start getting us to where we need to be in recognizing what is good and what is bad for the nation.
01:22:03.000And I can tell you, the Afghanistan thing, that was the key piece.
01:22:11.000That was the key piece into the Belt and Road Initiative's expansion.
01:22:15.000That was the key piece into the weakening of America on the world stage, where even France, France is now talking about decoupling and not utilizing our dollar.
01:22:24.000I remember when President Trump was called by President Macron, he said, oh, you know, Mr.
01:22:28.000President, we're looking to put an increase in taxation to America.
01:22:32.000President Trump told him, I'll tell you what, You do that, and I'll tax all of your champagne and all of your wines at a 100% rate in America.
01:22:39.000You got five minutes and called me back.
01:22:50.000I mean, this is the type of strong leadership that we need, and that's why a Trump 2024 ticket Helps to get us on the course correction that we need.
01:23:00.000And our 118th Congress and the conservative agenda that we're doing in the House as the majority elected by the people is going to help to get us on track for 2024 so that when President Trump comes in, we can get America back to being the world leader again.
01:23:52.000And I went to serve in the military honorably.
01:23:54.000I created a great business with my family, which serves our law enforcement and our military and our allies abroad to fight terrorism and criminals on the streets.
01:24:02.000I was happy being a supporter of conservatives in the office who was actually fighting for constitutionality, fiscal responsibility in the American people.
01:24:12.000I got to a point where I started seeing less and less Republicans who were willing to fight for the American people and to preserve American exceptionalism.
01:24:21.000And I had a choice to make as a father.
01:24:25.000I had a choice to make to continue to watch The society that is being created under this social and cultural experiment, deteriorate what my kids and future grandkids will actually face, or to throw my hat in the ring and actually do something about it.
01:24:41.000And maybe there's one child who grows up in a similar background to me that realizes that your socioeconomic status and what you're born in, or the perpetuation of drug use or criminality in your family doesn't define who you are, and you can be a member of Congress or Senator or the President of the United States.
01:25:24.000But it's because I believe in this country.
01:25:26.000The same exact thing that your father believes in, President Trump.
01:25:30.000And guess what? I donate 100% of my salary every quarter to a woman-child veteran charity selected by the constituents in my district.
01:25:39.000I don't believe in buying, selling, and trading stocks.
01:25:42.000Or my wife or anyone who works in my office, because you can manipulate through legislation, as many people has, which is a conflict of interest.
01:25:49.000That's why I support the bill that Congressman Gates and AOC put in place to ban stock trading.
01:25:54.000We have to get back to public service, not personal enrichment.
01:25:58.000And the people who wore that uniform are willing to die for this nation knows that better than most.
01:26:07.000It's where you're from. You know, You mentioned your constituency.
01:26:12.000Looking back, did you ever think that we'd be having some of these debates, some of these conversations, whether it's the border, whether it's being soft on the cartels, whether it's allowing three-year-olds to make life-altering decisions?
01:26:23.000What are the conversations that you're having with those constituents right now?
01:26:29.000Because I guess they've got to be equally shocked.
01:26:32.000Well, you know, the bottom line is that all of the things that I ran on in my campaign that I would help to address, whether it was the sexualization of children, whether it was the over-regulation and government involvement and helping to stop and stifle private sector utilizing ESG or others, Whether it was looking at the border security and where we're at or the indoctrination and weakening of our military, getting back to a strong economy.
01:26:54.000Those are all the same things that I'm driving forward right now.
01:26:59.000But not to mention the fact that we have such a robust constituent outreach service.
01:27:03.000You know, there's people who've been sitting in office for three and four and five terms who they've gotten back six, eight, maybe $10 million in owed benefits back to their constituents.
01:27:13.000I've been in office for a little over four and a half months and I've gotten over five and a half million dollars in benefits back to the constituents who are owed back benefits for Social Security or SSI benefits or disability benefits or VA benefits.
01:27:25.000You know, all the things that actually is our job.
01:27:28.000I didn't send out in my mailers about how I need to in some way like get reelected.
01:27:34.000I sent out here's what I can do for you.
01:27:38.000Here's what we're going to do while I'm in Congress.
01:27:40.000And I think that that's why they're happy with my delivery.
01:27:44.000That's why they're happy with what they're seeing today.
01:27:46.000And I'm going to continue to fight for the American agenda and for the American people, but especially the people of Florida and the people of 7th District.
01:27:53.000Well, so were there other specific moments that helped shape that worldview of yours that changed your politics, made you want to do this beyond that?
01:28:05.000You know, I think that was just watching, you know, through my own personal life experiences, where the childhood that I had, or, you know, the America and the schools that I was, you know, attended or raised and born up to, I watched the America that I know and love basically just start to deteriorate and start going away.
01:28:23.000And it started to become unrecognizable to me.
01:28:26.000And when I saw these types of things, and I would hear the plights from, you know, single mothers who was talking about the fact that, you know, they're having to take on a second and third and fourth job.
01:28:36.000The fact that, you know, our military spouses wasn't even getting childcare for them to be able to go out and work to be able to match.
01:28:44.000When I saw staff sergeants in the United States military who were being given such a low quality of life and poor pay that they're having to go on WIC and government assistance, and these are people willing to die for our country, That really hurt me inside.
01:29:19.000These are all very near and dear personal situations that I had a great friend of mine, Chadwick Paul, who took his own life, who had served with me in Iraq and had went on to serve in Afghanistan and others with the 5th Group Special Forces and 7th Group Special Forces, who took his own life.
01:29:34.000These are things that we really have to start addressing, and I feel that With Congress only being made up previous to this 118th Congress of 17% military veterans, we need more military veterans who understand service here in office to be able to do the right things, and that's really why I'm here.
01:29:53.000I mean, I lost a good buddy, Neil, a couple months ago.
01:29:55.000I mean, he hadn't served in quite some time, and it still caught up to him, and so we've got to be pushing all that, you know.
01:30:02.000So as a last question to wrap up, Florida, where you're from now, obviously is a pretty reliable red state, but there's plenty of other swing states.
01:30:14.000What do they need to do to win in some of those purple states, to win in some of those swing states, to be able to overcome the tremendous obstacles we're up against?
01:30:25.000You know, again, A trillion-dollar mainstream media complex, trillion-dollar big tech enterprise, trillion-dollar social media operation that is literally seemingly functioning as the marketing department of the other side and simultaneously a detractor to the conservative mission.
01:30:43.000Well, I think that we have to start really addressing any election integrity issues, and that's not unfortunately going to happen until after the 24 election.
01:30:49.000But what the American people need to do, you know, we are the majority.
01:30:52.000But for far too long, we've been the silent majority.
01:30:55.000We have to start getting out and being active, making sure it's our civic duty, voting early, voting, you know, at every single down ballot and understanding the significant importance of those down ballot votes.
01:31:04.000We have to start understanding our messaging because a centralized messaging out of DC does
01:31:09.000not resonate with members in my community in Florida or maybe in Oregon or maybe in other
01:31:15.000areas. And so we have to understand what it is that we want to achieve and start delivering on
01:31:19.000that message. And I think, if anything, we have to also start bringing awareness to what the
01:31:24.000Democrats are doing and how it's destroying our country.
01:31:26.000You know, they want to call us MAGA Republicans. OK, let's call them inflation Democrats.
01:31:31.000You know, we have to throw it back at them as much as they throw it at us. We have to start
01:31:35.000putting the gloves on and really understanding that we need to put up the fight because, as
01:31:39.000it was said a long time ago, you can vote for socialism once, but you have to fight your way
01:31:52.000Just go through and look at all the data.
01:31:54.000Just go through and ask yourself what your pocket feels like today compared to what it was feeling like under President Trump when he had tax reform, something that for 30 years presidents have been talking about.
01:32:04.000We have to get back to preserving and protecting America.
01:32:07.000And that America first agenda, think about it.
01:32:09.000The fact that we're being ridiculed For MAGA, which is making America great again.
01:32:16.000The fact that that is a negative or a derogatory term for the left should tell everyone everything that they need to know.
01:32:44.000They have to get out there and get collateral to put on the ground.
01:32:46.000They have to start. We have to start really getting engaged as an American society because we do, as Americans, have a contractual and social obligation to our constitution.
