00:02:42.000Rising interest rates are putting pressure on the bank's balance sheets.
00:02:46.000When they're leveraging your money, essentially gambling with your deposits, there's going to be problems.
00:02:53.000When interest rates go up, when inflation and spending goes up, when you see the stupidity in the decisions that are being made by the experts, it's going to be a problem.
00:03:07.000Are we sure this is the end of the banking financial crisis?
00:03:10.000Financial journalist Felix Salmond today noted, if those rates prove fatal for large and formerly vulnerable institutions, they will have caused serious damage to other banks that remain alive.
00:03:54.000There seems to be an economic storm brewing and Team Biden is, as usual, asleep at the wheel.
00:04:00.000Whether it's the banking sector, The border, the Biden administration is failing on literally every point.
00:04:08.000And guys, it's only going to get worse because Biden is set to lift the Title 42 border protections in less than two weeks.
00:04:18.000And border authorities, those great American patriots, who are already overwhelmed and seeing unprecedented numbers, are bracing for yet another surge of illegal immigrants.
00:04:33.000The wonderful people that you get to pay for.
00:04:36.000Remember, you have to pay for your children, their health care, their education.
00:04:40.000And now, thanks to Joe Biden lifting Title 42, you'll be able to pay for a whole slew of other people, many of which will just get on that system and ride it for a long time.
00:04:52.000Title 42 is a public health order implemented by the Trump administration during the pandemic.
00:04:57.000It allows authorities to fast track the expulsion Of illegal immigrants.
00:05:05.000Try going to another country illegally and see what happens.
00:05:09.000Only in America, if you come here illegally, you break our actual laws that are in place, are you given the benefit of the doubt and probably treated better than those who are actually going through the system legally.
00:06:20.000You know, the only difference between him and a Kamala answer is the hyena-like cackling that she would have done laughing at her own bad jokes after the fact.
00:06:29.000And sadly, the consequences of an open southern border are getting more dire questions.
00:06:34.000Every day. There's a manhunt underway outside of Houston for a suspect wanted in the murder of five Hondurans.
00:06:43.000We're now learning that this suspect, a 30-year-old Mexican national, has been deported three times before.
00:06:52.000Most recently in 2016, and who knows how many times he's crossed the border back and forth since then.
00:06:58.000But he still keeps coming back, and now he's apparently murdered Five innocent people.
00:07:06.000That's evidence of a broken system, folks, but hey, it doesn't matter.
00:07:11.000I guess if they let in enough people, they let in even if they're illegal, they'll let them vote in the census, and they can overwhelm the system to put Democrat hegemony in place forever.
00:07:23.000And that seems to be what they want, folks.
00:07:25.000It's power, because none of this otherwise makes any sense.
00:07:29.000And now, amid all of these never-ending foreign policies disaster, more Biden voters appear to have some regret.
00:07:37.000I'm shocked! How could you have regret?
00:07:40.000Your fuel prices are double, inflation's through the roof, job numbers are going through the roof, banks are failing, we're, uh...
00:07:47.000We're on the brink of nuclear war with Russia.
00:07:50.000We're fighting not only proxy wars, but actually boots on the ground wars with the world's largest nuclear power by volume of nuclear missiles.
00:08:01.000ABC News recently went to Pennsylvania to talk to residents who voted for Joe Biden and asked about his recent pathetic 2024 campaign video.
00:08:12.000Here's just a small sample of the Biden regret.
00:08:44.000I'm shocked. What did you think was gonna happen from the guy that ran a campaign from his basement?
00:08:49.000Just because the media tells you someone's not an imbecile, even when everything that comes out of their mouth makes you think otherwise, you may wanna second guess.
00:09:00.000Uh, they're glowing endorsements of Biden the statesman, Biden the economic guy, Biden the great father who raised the upstanding gentleman that you have known as Hunter Biden.
00:09:11.000Now, it's hard to imagine Biden actually getting through another campaign, but when Democrats are more interested in harvesting ballots than actually physically turning out voters to the polls, actually putting forth good policy, actually doing anything good for anyone in America...
00:09:27.000They may try to keep them in the basement once again, because what do they have to lose?
00:11:07.000And it sounds like the people that we thought were sort of like us, you know, whether it's the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, are actually much further along towards communism than anyone could have ever imagined.
00:11:19.000And also remember, even if someone doesn't end up being prosecuted, it's going to be the pretext for a whole bunch of investigations.
00:11:58.000And it's going to scare dissenters into silence.
00:12:02.000We have to remember, folks, much of the rest of the world doesn't really believe in free speech or even have anything like the First Amendment, or the Second Amendment for that matter.
00:12:10.000That's why it's vital to call out these sorts of bills and this sort of insanity across the globe.
00:12:17.000Here's Elon Musk on Friday talking about the importance of free speech and why he bought Twitter.
00:12:24.000We must protect free speech, and free speech only matters, it's only relevant when it's someone you don't like saying something you don't like, because obviously, speech that you like is easy.
00:12:40.000And it's, the thing about censorship is that, sure, for those who would advocate it, just
00:12:46.000remember at some point that will be turned on you.
00:12:51.000Guys, the free flow of information is vital to uncovering real stories and real scandals
00:12:58.000going on inside our country and abroad.
00:13:01.000There's a reason the people who are pushing this stuff want to eliminate the notion of free speech, okay folks?
00:13:07.000In case you haven't been watching for like the last six years.
00:13:10.000And speaking of uncovering a real story, the Wall Street Journal...
00:13:15.000Obtained the late Jeffrey Epstein's private calendar, which showed scheduled meetings with Biden's current CIA director.
00:13:25.000Now, I'm sure this is total coincidence, guys, just like all the other amazing coincidence.
00:13:31.000And I'm sure he had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein not killing himself.
00:13:37.000The records show multiple meetings between Epstein and William Burns, the director of the CIA. Huh?
00:13:44.000I wonder why? I'm sure they're just buddies.
00:13:48.000When you see the long list of people...
00:13:51.000Who visited Jeffrey Epstein even when he was guilty as an accused pedophile.
00:14:40.000I mean, that's probably never been done before, and yet she's still doing 25 years.
00:14:44.000You have to wonder. The CIA said in a statement that Burns didn't know anything about him, and that he was introduced as an expert in the financial services sector.
00:14:55.000Really, because there's no other people in financial services.
00:14:57.000You had to go to the convicted pedophile.
00:15:29.000You like the intro, Wesley? But it's...
00:15:34.000See? Like, we're laughing because it's, I mean, a little bit funny, but it's fucking real, and that should scare all of us.
00:15:43.000Like, you know, yeah, the director of the CIA, like, All these people that we used to think were good people that have now been proven to be just absolute clown shows, I mean, you know, these are the people that created Russia, Russia, Russia, right?
00:15:54.000The FBI, these are the people entrapping the people at January 6th.
00:15:58.000But, like, we're supposed to believe there's no connection?
00:16:01.000If this guy was meeting with Donald Trump post-pedophile conviction, there would be a serious problem.
00:16:07.000People would ask the question, like, there wasn't someone else that Trump could have met with?
00:16:14.000If you're a Democrat, the media, big tech, all of them probably on Epstein Island too, and maybe that's why they're running Comfort for him, but either Burns is a fucking moron, And that doesn't bode well for our country and our intelligence officers abroad, but, you know, again, given the results we've seen lately, that's a very good possibility.
00:16:34.000Or, and maybe it's an and-or, because the two are not mutually exclusive, there's something far more sinister going on with the CIA director.
00:16:47.000These are major investigations you would see on a show like, I don't know, say, Tucker Carlson, who would always ask the toughest questions.
00:16:57.000But, huh, he's not there either anymore, and I wonder if that's by plan.
00:17:02.000And by the way, it's been a week since Fox News' Axe Tucker Carlson show, and Ron DeSantis still hasn't said anything about it.
00:17:12.000Does he not want to upset Paul Ryan, Karl Rove, or any of his donors?
00:17:17.000Or maybe he agrees with the decision, like maybe we should never channel, challenge the norms.
00:17:23.000Maybe we should allow the war in Ukraine and hundreds of billions of dollars to go over there, into the abyss, into the unknown, with no auditing, while simultaneously creating the next class of Ukrainian oligarch billionaires.
00:17:42.000He won't say anything about it, but one thing's for sure.
00:17:45.000He's been suspiciously silent on all of it.
00:17:48.000We don't really know exactly what Ron DeSantis stands for, and, well, I guess this continues that thing.
00:17:56.000We've seen the flip-flops and everything else, and this one's sort of an odd one, given where the America First movement that he's apparently supposed to somehow now miraculously represent is all over this issue.
00:18:07.000But... We also have to turn to our last story before getting on to Wesley Hunt on the recurring struggles in the United States military.
00:18:15.000And this is one we're going to talk a lot about with Wesley, because the military has been struggling to recruit.
00:18:19.000And I wonder why. You know, given the woke military who really wants to learn about white rage, but perhaps not so much about winning wars.
00:18:28.000The military who pulled out our troops in Afghanistan before the civilians and left biometric scanners to the Taliban.
00:18:36.000When our Secretary of State then gets on the air and says, he is shocked and dismayed that the Taliban, who we've been fighting for 20 years, mind you, like, sound like we weren't familiar, did not install a more diverse and inclusive, and I quote, government.
00:19:47.000Like, the people you think of, like, that's the demographic that's supposed to be in shape.
00:19:50.000We're now going to allow obese men and women to enlist because...
00:19:55.000Apparently, the trans agenda, which seems to be dominating so much of the military, or at least the leadership, because I think there's a major distinction and a major separation from that leadership and the door kickers.
00:20:07.000As evidenced by the recruitment problems, folks, the policy allows men with 26% body fat and women with 36% body fat to join.
00:20:19.000According to Penn Medicine, my alma mater, and, you know, and this is a woke alma mater because, again, my alma mater is the home of Leah Thomas, mentioned earlier.
00:20:29.000Both of those body fat percentages make someone obese.
00:20:33.000I'm sure they will change that now because rather than getting someone in shape, it's much easier to just move the goalposts and say, hey, you can have 100% body fat but not actually be obese.
00:20:45.000You're healthy. Meanwhile, the army is forcing aviation officers who are set to retire to serve three more years because they can't find anyone willing to put up with the woke bullshit in the military.
00:20:58.000Because a big part of patriotism, if you're going to put your life on the line for something, is actually believing in the stuff that they're telling you to fight for.
00:21:08.000And I have a feeling that the trans agenda isn't.
00:21:11.000We're going to talk more about that shortly, but hundreds of Army aviation officers were set to leave the military and they're being held for another three years to serve after, they say, the branch quietly reinterpreted part of their contract amid retention and recruitment issues.
00:21:32.000Guys, these recruitment struggles are a direct result of the Biden administration pushing leftist ideology in the military.
00:21:39.000These woke policies, in addition to the vaccine mandates, made the military very unappealing to the young conservative men and women, the patriots who would make up the bulk of our actual fighting force.
00:21:54.000We're going to ask Congressman Hunt about the state of the military, why we're seeing these recruiting struggles, and how the Biden Pentagon is leaving us unprepared for war and another major conflict.
00:22:06.000So before we get there, though, I just want to take a second and I want to thank our brave sponsors, as evidenced by...
00:22:12.000Congressman Hunt here laughing during the monologue.
00:22:15.000It takes some balls to sponsor this show.
00:22:18.000You never know what's going to happen other than the truth, but gold and silver can help protect your retirement savings.
00:22:26.000Again, guys, we've been talking about it.
00:22:41.000So I want you to be prepared and owning tangible, physical, inflation hedging gold and silver can help diversify your portfolio, can protect against the insanity of what's going on, can help protect your retirement savings.
00:22:53.000So support the companies who support you instead of supporting the woke bullshit companies who hate your guts.
00:23:15.000Go to DonJrGold.com, check it out, learn how to protect your retirement and your family.
00:23:20.000Also, make sure to go check out Patriot Mobile.
00:23:23.000With Patriot Mobile, good Texas company, Wesley, you put America first with every call while getting the same nationwide coverage as all the other major carriers.
00:23:33.000You're going to have a cell phone anyway, folks, so you might as well use it to support a carrier who supports your values.
00:23:39.000AT&T, remember they canceled OAN. They're trying to cancel Newsmax.
00:23:44.000The parent companies, not exactly fans of the conservative agenda or anything that you guys actually believe in.
00:23:50.000So if you're going to have a phone anyway, support those who share your values.
00:23:55.000Not only does Patriot Mobile provide you dependable wireless service at an affordable price, they also share your values.
00:24:02.000The First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the right to keep and bear arms, sanctity of life, protecting our brave police and first responders, and on and on.
00:24:12.000So for free activation, go to patriotmobile.com slash Don Jr.
00:24:17.000That's patriotmobile.com slash Don Jr.
00:25:01.000Annapolis is alright. We'll accept it.
00:25:03.000We'll allow it. We sent a bunch to West Point as well.
00:25:06.000But it was like 25% of my class went to the academy, so let's call it that.
00:25:12.000Those guys, I know even in 16, they were basically like, hey, they assumed Hillary was going to win and they were like, they were going to withdraw from the military.
00:25:19.000When Trump won, many of them stayed on, signed on.
00:25:21.000You know, a couple guys flew F-18s, a couple guys were James guys.
00:25:25.000What's going on in such a short period of time?
00:25:28.000Because I know those guys, like I said, you know, I lived with them from eighth grade on.
00:25:33.000And the insanity that we're seeing coming out of these guys now is, I mean, it's just that.
00:26:58.000So what does that tell you? Yeah, a lot.
00:27:01.000And yet the leaders, I mean, you know, the generals, and, you know, they sit there and, again, someone told me it's because, you know, I think there's almost a universal consensus, other than maybe the new religion of the left, which is like the Ukraine War, but prior to that, American, the citizens, are over the never-ending wars.
00:27:20.000Yes. They understand there was maybe...
00:27:29.000Yes. The generals all went woke because the retirement plan used to be like, get on the board of Raytheon.
00:27:35.000We'll sell you missiles because we're in never-ending wars.
00:27:37.000And like, hey, great. Evil things are ending.
00:27:39.000You... You know, it's a quid pro quo like you've never seen before.
00:27:43.000But now, since there isn't necessarily that desire, although that's been augmented a little bit by Ukraine, you know, the idea is to get on the board of Disney.
00:27:50.000How do you do that? You be the general, so they have the conservative, but you're the woke one.
00:28:18.000So at some point in time, something happened in this country that morphed the military to start focusing on fighting wars and focus more on woke left ideology.
00:28:28.000And that's wrong. And you know who's laughing at us right now?
00:28:31.000Xi Jinping is laughing at us right now.
00:28:33.000And you know who's crying? Vladimir Putin right now is laughing at us.
00:28:35.000And our allies are like, what happened to America?
00:29:07.000Like, these guys were telling me, the same guys I was saying earlier, that were like, I'm going to get out of the military if she wins because there's no future for me here.
00:29:14.000Mm-hmm. They were saying, you know, we have a playing card guy, whether it was Iraq or Afghanistan, a high-value target, and we'd have to call a lawyer in D.C. to kill a really bad guy.
00:30:07.000I'm like, you're not a serious person.
00:30:10.000You fought them for 20 years and you think that they were going to put in a diverse and inclusive government?
00:30:18.000What's the hope? How do you get out of that mess?
00:30:20.000I had an interview with the Secretary of the Interior.
00:30:23.000She came to speak to the Natural Resources Committee that I'm on.
00:30:25.000And I asked her, you know, what are your diversity and inclusion goals?
00:30:29.000Because that's actually in a mission statement.
00:30:30.000And she just teased off about how I want our department to look like America and to be like everybody else and represent their proper demographics.
00:30:41.000So she got done talking and I said, but in this mission statement it doesn't say qualified.
00:30:46.000And when I flew up here on the plane, I didn't poke my head into the cockpit and say, hey, I just want to make sure all of our pilots for United met all of their diversity and inclusion goals for the month.
00:30:56.000I don't care. I want the best person flying the plane, and that needs to be our mission and our goals here as well.
00:31:02.000But their first mission is diversity and inclusion first, and it's qualification second.
00:31:14.000Because, you know, again, If you're doing it that way, and it's not a meritocracy, you're going to have subpar performance.
00:31:21.000Of course. And again, it doesn't seem like these guys care about America standing in the world, as evidenced by literally everything that they do.
00:31:31.000When you have a government that's spending $33 trillion in debt, when they're meeting with the cast of Ted Lasso while Putin's meeting with Xi, and they're talking about getting rid of the petrodollar, Leverage and pay for all the woke bullshit that they want.
00:31:50.000When that goes, maybe they'll do us a favor because we actually have to lean up and get rid of some of this crap.
00:31:55.000But how long can that continue when you have people, in many cases I've seen, almost no qualifications to be there other than they checked three boxes, therefore that's the qualification.
00:33:34.000I'm like, if I'm pissed off, They should be too.
00:33:38.000Imagine that. And yet, you don't see, you know, there's still, you know, and I always say it on the show, it's a key tenet of the show, which is like, hey, it's going to be so bad that they have no chance, no choice but to wake up.
00:33:50.000But again, with big tech sort of promoting the one side and making it seem like everyone, I mean, you're, I'm sure you've been called a white supremacist before.
00:33:59.000Which I find hilarious, by the way. No, it's amazing.
00:34:01.000Like, I mean, it's amazing in the way that you and I would laugh about like Chappelle that you couldn't.
00:34:09.000You know, Clayton Bigsby was one of the greatest sketch ever, right?
00:34:13.000It literally is, but imagine if you tried to do that today, and it wasn't that long ago.
00:34:18.000I think I was in college when that came out, and I was like, I mean, probably one of the greatest bits of sketch comedy ever, and yet today, you wouldn't be able to do it.
00:34:32.000Talk about that, because it's interesting.
00:34:33.000I see... I see a lot of the shift actually in the Hispanic community, especially in Texas.
00:34:38.000They're like, hey man, these are God-fearing, hard-working, family-oriented people.
00:34:44.000And they're like, wait a minute, you want to take my three-year-old and cut their dick off because their teacher convinced them that I thought I was an airplane.
00:34:51.000And these drag shows for children, it's ridiculous.
00:34:54.000But talk about that, because I have seen...
00:34:58.000There's been a lot more adaption from the Hispanic community.
00:36:02.000It's actually why I'm here. Because again, I grew up in a two-parent home, a two-parent conservative home, and that's why we have three West Pointers come from one home.
00:36:08.000I'm not all that smart, but at the end of the day, my parents raised us in a conservative way for us to realize that America is the greatest country in the world.
00:38:13.000I can't imagine that a good percentage of the votes in Pennsylvania, even Had heard John Fetterman speak.
00:38:22.000And yet they voted because, you know, there was someone showed up at a door and they signed a ballot or they took it and voted for them and, you know, whatever happened, happened.
00:38:27.000But, you know, no one's ever, if you've never seen a Biden hat in public, there isn't that enthusiasm.
00:38:35.000But again, if you go door to door knocking and each state has different rules and some are, you know, way into basically ballot harvesting, some have actually some regulation.
00:38:43.000We seem to do better on those where there's a little bit of regulation for obvious reasons, harder to manipulate.
00:38:48.000But, you know, You need to create those systems as well.
00:38:52.000Yes. And is that happening, you think?
00:38:54.000So I think it's a combination of both things.
00:38:56.000It's ballot harvesting, it's cheating, and it's COVID. And I think in 2024, they're not going to have COVID. Now, the Democrat Party has chosen Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
00:39:05.000Joe Biden is the worst candidate we have seen, arguably, in the history of this country.
00:39:09.000Kamala Harris- He's the most popular- That guy got 10 million more votes than Barack Obama.
00:40:34.000I get it, but man, it feels like, I always say it just feels very hard to overwhelm these trillion dollar systems that are so designed purely against us.
00:40:43.000They're so effective that in 2016 we had the House, we had the Senate, and the presidency in 2016, and that's when they were suppressing conservative voices for the last decade.
00:40:53.000In 2018, we had the presidency and the Senate.
00:40:56.000If but not for COVID, we still would have the presidency and the Senate.
00:41:05.000Because of the American population, the public, the taxpaying American, has to actually go put gas in their tank and go buy eggs and go buy food.
00:41:14.000And there's not enough media in the world that can overcome that.
00:41:58.000They're frustrated. They're looking at how much it costs to send their kids to school to get from A to B. We have people in my district that are deciding, rather or not, they are going to go to work or take their kid to school.
00:42:10.000Do I buy groceries or do I take my child to school?
00:42:15.000This is what we're seeing every single day.
00:42:17.000And it's my opinion that over the course of the next two years, two more years of this?
00:42:23.000Did you watch that correspondence dinner?
00:42:25.000Those jokes were ridiculous and they were disgusting.
00:42:29.000Because we're making a mockery of the American people.
00:42:32.000But I feel like, I mean, that's the whole Democrat class, right?
00:42:35.000Oh, you're hanging on to God and guns and...
00:42:38.000No, but talk, I mean, there is a very real, and it's a constant, you know, threat to anything.
00:42:46.000I mean, the FBI and the DOJ, they called concerned mothers that showed up to PTA meetings being like, hey, I don't want you indoctrinating my kids with this shit.
00:42:55.000Like, just, how about teach them math?
00:42:59.000You're a domestic terrorist, if you even thought that.
00:43:02.000I mean, so with all of these core values under attack, how do we get that back?
00:43:08.000Again, because it's not just their ideas versus ours, right?
00:43:12.000It's their ideas versus ours, but they're getting boosted by big tech, by mainstream media, by big social, by trillion-dollar platforms.
00:43:22.000And we just have our ideas and a little bit of like, I told you so, you know, two years later when the conspiracy theory that was so obvious to anyone proves to be correct.
00:43:30.000And it's like, well, it doesn't matter. They got their win, they rack it up, and they move on.
00:43:34.000Brother, it's the rise of the combat veteran.
00:43:35.000So the combat veteran is a person, like me, that's going to die for this country and die for any single American.
00:43:40.000And when you're looking at what happened from World War II to 2018, we had the fewest number of combat veterans serving in the halls of Congress since World War II in 2018.
00:44:13.000And by the way, I think we're going to have a record number of veterans over the course of the next few years, post 9-11, brave men and women that are willing to kind of put things aside and view this as our next deployment, as our next way to serve our country.
00:44:26.000And that's how we get our country back.
00:44:28.000I hope so. In 10 years, I'm not sure I want that.
00:44:32.000No, only because of what we're seeing in the recruitment, right?
00:44:34.000I can't agree more with you. But for right now.
00:44:36.000Yeah, 100%. The guys that did it in the old school.
00:44:39.000That's exactly right. I had Ronnie Jackson on here a couple weeks ago.
00:44:47.000And he's like, wait. If you go to the military now, they'll pay for your gender reassignment surgery.
00:44:53.000And most importantly, because you're so jacked up on meds and hormones and all this stuff, you're actually not allowed to deploy.
00:45:00.000It's almost like the greatest thing in the world.
00:45:02.000Someone can be the wokest lunatic in the world, go get that for free, know they're never going to actually get deployed, check off the box like, I was military, I served my country.
00:45:12.000And you see some of these videos going around like, why did you join the Marine Corps?
00:45:45.000The SEAL Chiefs. The elite guys, yes. The guys that you're like, I want that motherfucker in war for me.
00:45:49.000No, but that's the guy, like, I'm like, I want, you know, if I had to share a foxhole, it's that guy, not like the, like, They used it, to me, almost obviously as a way to be like, okay, that guy's conservative.
00:45:59.000He's never going anywhere. Maybe we're not throwing him out or we'll try.
00:46:03.000But the guys that they put millions and millions of dollars into training, they were willing to wipe out in a second.
00:46:09.000Whereas if you just conformed and did the gender thing, oh, you too can be an admiral.
00:46:13.000Just mutilate your body and take some hormones for a couple years.
00:46:16.000As fast as this turned bad, we could turn this back good.
00:51:10.000And that's the job of the Judiciary Committee.
00:51:13.000It's to actually point out the deficiencies of the left, their very poor arguments, and then how can we convey this to the American people to give us an opportunity to get this right in two years?
00:51:22.000We had the head of the ATF in last week, and we were going back and forth on that.
00:51:26.000What's going on with that? I got a bunch of pistol braces.
00:51:33.000It's ridiculous. So talk about that because they're going to make a bunch of Americans go through a process and all this stuff.
00:51:39.00030 million Americans. They were the ones.
00:51:41.000It's not like, you know, listen, the American redneck, you give them a law and they'll figure out a way around it.
00:51:46.000But that's not how the pistol brace thing worked.
00:51:48.000They actually designed it and now they're saying, oh crap, we didn't do a good enough job so now we're going to change everything at the expense of Hundreds of millions of dollars while maybe making millions of Americans actual felons.
00:51:59.000But you know what this is about? This is a gun grab.
00:52:01.000Of course it is. This is an invasion of our Second Amendment rights.
00:52:04.000That's all this is. It's all it ever was.
00:52:06.000But, you know, hey, guys like me, I'm saying, hey, you know, I'm...
00:52:11.000We understand that I'm not the upstanding individual that Hunter Biden is.
00:52:31.000So... Of course it's a gun grab, and if it's not a gun grab, it's a registration.
00:52:39.000But does a guy like me risk the felony not knowing what's going to happen on moment one?
00:52:46.000And then, by the way, if they get the registration, and then two years later it's thrown out in the Supreme Court, they didn't get the gun grab.
00:53:20.000They're all gone. They're not here anymore.
00:53:21.000I'm going to look up over there in the corner.
00:53:23.000I think they try to use a bureaucrat Not going through the halls of Congress, not going through the Senate, not going through the proper channels that our founding fathers expected us to do.
00:53:35.000They try to use a bureaucrat to make 40 million Americans felons overnight.
00:53:39.000That's how they roll. When they realize that they can't attack our Second Amendment because we have a Republican majority, it's not going to allow you to do it, then they go to the bureaucrat.
00:53:48.000But then judiciary exposes the bureaucrat for exactly what they're doing.
00:54:43.000Like, you know, time is finite, right?
00:54:45.000It's the only thing that, you know, a guy like Jim, no matter how much he's working, there's...
00:54:50.000How do we prevent us from doing what we do best, which is sort of...
00:54:53.000Grabbing onto all the shiny objects, but actually keying in on four, five, six, enough that you have the time to see them all through to get a result, as opposed to, we were on our way and the clock ran out because we were chasing 30 things instead of focusing on the six that matter, the five that matter, the three that matter to get it done.
00:55:09.000So actually, that's not what we're doing.
00:55:11.000I'm actually very pleased with how focused we've been.
00:55:14.000I mean, we're talking about policing in America next week.
00:56:20.000But we're focused on these top four or five issues.
00:56:23.000I'm actually proud to say that. And being in the room and seeing just how focused we are, talking about the strategy and moving forward, building cases now so that when we get back for summer recess, we can hit the ground running.
00:56:34.000Jim Jordan is doing one hell of a job.
00:56:35.000I'm glad to hear that. How does all of that work tie into the 2024 MAGA agenda?
00:56:42.000We want to see a free and fair election moving forward.
00:56:49.000And I think every single American should want that.
00:56:52.000Now, the left, they obviously don't want that because they're realizing that they are running the worst candidate in the history of America right now.
00:56:58.000But I think there's an opportunity for us to expose what we have seen from the left and allow the American people to
00:57:06.000And when there's no COVID that they could lean on. And could you could you imagine in 2024 if they came up and
00:57:12.000they said, hey, guess what? We're locking the country down again.
00:57:16.000What would happen? Listen, there'd be riots to make BLM look weak.
00:57:20.000There'd be pandemonium. They cannot rely on that again.
00:57:23.000And that's why we're going to have a very good 2024 with two more years of us exposing exactly what they're about, exposing their agenda, and us staying.
00:57:31.000We have to be vigilant, and we have got to be offensive.
00:57:34.000Yeah, that's the thing. We cannot rest on our laurels here.
00:57:37.000There's, you know, there's, and we've been up against this for a long time, there's sort of the obvious, right?
00:57:42.000And the obvious was even in 2020, and yet they still won because of the ballot harvesting operation.
00:57:48.000So we also have to do that. We can't rely on just, hey, you're obviously going to vote for us because it doesn't matter.
00:57:53.000You know, they can, you know, whether it's, you know, maybe downtown Houston, maybe it's Philadelphia, maybe it, you know, you go and knock on enough doors.
00:58:00.000You know, there are people that, you know.
00:58:01.000They're not like us. They're not watching politics every day.
00:58:05.000If someone tells them, hey, these guys are going to do the right thing by you, maybe they believe that.
00:58:08.000Like I said, I don't believe that a lot of people that voted for John Fetterman actually had ever seen John Fetterman speak.
00:58:17.000But they were like, hey, he's the guy that's going to give you whatever we need.
00:58:20.000And that's been a recurring theme, right?
00:58:28.000Give a guy a fish, you'll be a voting Democrat for the rest of his life.
00:58:32.000So we also have to play that game as well.
00:58:36.000I want to make sure that Republican leadership is actually focused on making sure that that happens, whether that's holding the RNC to task.
00:58:43.000Because again, it's not for you to do per se, but it's for you as a thought leader, as someone who can go out and say that, who can speak in these communities to understand and mobilize the people that it's required.
00:58:56.000I mean, that's what they do very, very well on the other side, you know?
00:58:59.000They do. They may be insane, but they're good at marketing and they're good at following through.
00:59:04.000You know, we'll have something where we get 99% of what we want.
00:59:07.000Yes. But we'll blow it because one guy is, ah!
00:59:52.000You look at Trump and you say, hey, there's maybe a five-year age difference, but do you think that Trump in five years won't be able to remember where he is?
01:00:00.000So people, I don't want to hear this idea, too, about, well, 80-year-olds, we need to have an age limit and age gap.
01:00:50.000And we know that. And that's what I mean by having to run for president in a year where you can't hide in your basement and you have to actually answer to the American people.
01:02:00.000Put your feelings aside so we could take back our country for the next four years.
01:02:04.000If we do that effectively, especially as effectively as the Democrats do that, oh, we're going to have one hell of a 24.
01:02:11.000I think so. Any other places in Texas where you're seeing sort of, you know, up-and-coming, you know, rising stars, people that are popping out?
01:02:18.000I mean, you sort of, you know, talk about how you got into politics, right?
01:02:21.000Yeah. We talked about your childhood and, you know, naturally, obviously, conservative, then the military.
01:02:26.000Do you see that where you're opening up the door?
01:02:29.000You know, you saw sort of the Maya Flores of it.
01:02:31.000You're coming out being like, listen, I'm a, you know, a border wife.
01:02:35.000Yes. And, you know, this is what, and it's like, you know, turning into these...
01:02:39.000Their own sort of political rock stars.
01:02:41.000Brother, do you know what I love? I love the DMs that I get and the messages that I get and even walking around Houston.
01:02:46.000When I was at a baseball game the other day and I got stopped by one of the attendants in the bathroom, he said, black guy, hey man, I'm following you.
01:02:53.000Thank you for all you're doing. Thank you for telling the truth.
01:02:56.000Thank you. What I want to be is, I want to be a person that's not like this black Republican.
01:04:06.000Frankly, you know, I guess many could argue that people are actually a lot worse off because of the family structure and what's going on there.
01:04:11.000That's just literally demographic fact, right?
01:04:14.000And yet... They continue to push, you know, the Democrat agenda and stuff like that.
01:04:20.000How do you get through, again, they may be seeing it otherwise, but when you have, you know, every thought leader in the community and the person that you trust, like, you don't sort of really, you know, and again, I grew up in New York, so it's like, you know, it's the Al Sharpton scam.
01:05:27.000And that's because I don't want to harp on race at all.
01:05:30.000I want to talk about you work hard, you have grit, you have determination, and the great-great-grandson of a slave can be a United States congressman in a white majority district in Houston, Texas, because he was the best person for the job.
01:05:43.000And then when they see that, it takes the argument away.
01:05:56.000But that's the point, right? The attack on freedom of speech.
01:05:59.000Yes! I mean, how many... You know, like, how many things I've talked about that have nothing to do with race, as far as I'm concerned, but I'm a racist.
01:06:55.000I mean, it's awesome that you're doing it, and it takes guts.
01:06:58.000Listen, you put yourself in the firing line.
01:07:01.000I know this because it was easier for me to be the real estate developer from New York City, be invited to the cool person guy, go to the cool person parties, be invited to every club before I grew out of that shit when I was a kid.
01:07:14.000Now, it's like, oh man, there is a real consequence to being a conservative and to being vocal.
01:07:18.000How do we get to the point where there's not a consequence?
01:07:20.000Courage. So it takes courage, and we've got to chip away at it.
01:07:22.000And people like me, I mean, I've been shot at before, and I've had to engage the enemy in combat.
01:07:26.000So you can say what you want about me, brother.
01:07:28.000Like, I don't know. I'm not getting shot at.
01:07:30.000Like I said, I like your pronouns there.
01:07:37.000And it's not gonna be an overnight thing.
01:07:40.000But it takes one voice turns to two voices, two voices turns to four, four turns to eight, and you gotta chip away at it slowly, but somebody has to raise their hand and say, you know what, I'm gonna take all the arrows, and I want to pave the way and open the door for people to see the actual truth.
01:07:56.000And then when you ask me questions, I'm going to be completely upfront and honest with you.
01:08:55.000It wasn't even a political lesson, it was just a lesson to sort of humble where we were coming from, and yet it was the foundation of my political beliefs, because I've been there, done that.
01:09:06.000There's a reason that there's no one like my mom who escaped, legally, those systems.
01:10:10.000We have our work cut out for us, brother.
01:10:12.000But I do think we're sort of the closest to that tipping point.
01:10:16.000Yes, we are. There's a point now, you know, you heard my opening monologue, we had some fun with it, but you see what's going on, you know, for possessing hate speech.
01:10:24.000Now, not really defined, but like, and again, you know, If I did the stuff that is on the Hunter Biden laptop, I'd be in jail.
01:10:34.000And yet, you know, Hunter's a world-renowned artist.
01:10:36.000You'd be under the jail right now. Yeah, exactly.
01:10:38.000You'd be ridiculous. Never to be heard from again.
01:10:40.000Like, it's fine. But that's the problem.
01:10:43.000I feel like we're at a place where the arbiters of truth are also now so biased.
01:10:49.000I do think, clearly, listen, you have, you know...
01:10:53.000Every piece of information you could ever imagine at your fingertips.
01:10:57.000Some of it heavily biased if you're using Google or whatever it may be.
01:11:00.000But if you search deep enough, you can find the actual truth.
01:11:04.000But I do think you're at a point where the things that allowed us to get through the last ones, those continue to be at jeopardy.
01:11:13.000Whether it's, we talked about the Second Amendment.
01:11:20.000It's egregious. Concerned mothers are domestic terrorists, but the guy that drove through, I guess we could call him a black supremacist, it was the car that drove through the Christmas parade in Wisconsin, not a racist...
01:11:39.000They misgendered. Yeah, and then they do apology tours for the misgendering, not an apology tour for pushing this ideology that's jacking up kids with hormones and shit, trying to carve parents out of the process.
01:11:53.000So I feel like so much of what held the...
01:11:56.000The fabric of America together, that's all being dismantled as well, which means it's just a lot harder to recover than perhaps it was in the past.
01:12:04.000Let's talk about the Second Amendment, too.
01:12:06.000So, Second Amendment, what's the fastest growing demographic for gun ownership in the entire country?
01:12:14.000Because they're looking out their window these days, and they're Democrat-controlled cities.
01:12:18.000So then the same Democrat party wants to take away the rights of the people that they are claiming that they are trying to save and protect?
01:12:24.000Yeah. Yeah, because Chicago hasn't had a gun problem until...
01:12:33.000But, again, never let the truth get in the way of a good story, right?
01:12:36.000Right. You know, it's the gun that did it.
01:12:38.000It's like, no, well, but, like, let's talk about, A, let's take out suicide out of the statistics.
01:12:42.000Take out, yeah. And let's talk, let's take out, you know, they won't talk about illegal firearms.
01:12:47.000They won't. Like, if you take out the illegal firearms, you take out the people who don't go through the...
01:12:51.000You take... Yeah, that's a problem actually, but that has nothing to do with the NRA. It has nothing to do with legal gun owners.
01:12:57.000And they won't talk about the actual issues there because that would then be perceived as racist because it is largely driven by illegal guns in gang-related cities, in Democrat-controlled towns.
01:13:09.000They often happen to be minority because that's just the nature of...
01:13:13.000So then we got to tell the truth, right?
01:13:16.000So then you look at what's happening with gun violence in this country.
01:13:19.000Of all the gun homicides last year, how many of them were at the hands of an AR-15?
01:13:42.000Now, here's the problem. When you start going after handguns, now you're going after the fastest growing demographic for gun ownership in the entire country, and that's black women that overwhelmingly vote Democrat.
01:13:53.000Okay, why? Why are they voting Democrat?
01:13:55.000It starts to turn over on its head, actually.
01:14:40.000And so now, we have to fight generations Of that generation teaching their children that, well, it's the big bad Republicans that are doing it and the Republicans are racist and this is not...
01:14:51.000We are fighting against those headwinds.
01:14:54.000But again, that's literally the reason why I'm here.
01:14:57.000I am here to talk about how this country has evolved.
01:15:00.000I don't want to talk about my dad sitting on the backs of buses.
01:15:03.000I want to talk about how he's on the back of a bus and I'm the United States Congressman.
01:15:08.000That's progress. That doesn't happen anywhere in the entire world except for our country.
01:15:13.000It just takes brave people to tell the truth.
01:15:16.000How do you get into those communities with that message?
01:15:45.000NBC, right? The MSDNC. So I think when we actually make an effort to go to the communities and then they meet people like me, they're like, oh, wait a minute.
01:15:54.000This is not actually what I thought it was.
01:15:56.000And then we start talking about that progress.
01:15:58.000My dad had a saying to me. He always told me, son, You don't have it hard.
01:16:20.000A lot of people don't see that living proof.
01:16:22.000Right. Because we don't talk about it enough.
01:16:24.000Because we're always a party that says this, I don't want to talk about race, I don't want to talk about this, that, and the third because our policies are better.
01:16:30.000And they are. We have got to get on the offensive though and explain that our party is actually a party of being a meritocracy.
01:18:19.000Because they go to school every day, and they're like, well, like, I'm friends with everybody, and I live in this neighborhood, and I'm like, I really don't care.
01:18:26.000But we can't allow the left to continue to take the narrative and own us with it.
01:18:31.000We've got to be the ones to take it to them as well and be unapologetic about it.
01:18:35.000So you got 18 months before the next election.
01:18:39.000What's a win look like for you in the House, in the Judiciary Committee?
01:18:46.000What's success look like at Election Day 2024?
01:18:50.000So, I want to make some serious headway on two things that are just near and dear to me.
01:21:15.000They can just be, I don't want to say more objective, because I think I'm pretty good at seeing what we're good at and what we're bad at.
01:21:20.000I understand what the Democrats are good at, more importantly, like ballot harvesting.
01:21:23.000So, you know, what are the other successes that we need to get in that 18 months so that people can see that and that they're going into 2024 understanding exactly what's at stake?
01:21:55.000Give a little bit of relief into a midterm cycle.
01:21:57.000So it's like they're spending your money to win elections.
01:22:01.000Just so we understand just how nefarious all of this stuff is, and it's insane.
01:22:05.000And then we go to Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terror, and someone who you've served over there in Iraq, so you understand what their IED program looked like.
01:22:13.000I know exactly. You know, we were terrible for taking out Soleimani, even though he was the architect of all of this...
01:22:18.000Righteous. Righteous kill, by the way.
01:22:20.000Righteous. 100%. Like, not even a brainer.
01:22:22.000No brainer. And yet, that was terrible, according to the press and the media and the Democrats.
01:22:27.000And we're going to Venezuela, a regime we didn't recognize.
01:22:30.000They recognize that. But rather than do it ourselves, rather than give the American worker the win and a good-paying job and independence from the world, I guess it's a globalist agenda.
01:22:40.000It's like, just make sure that you're tied to everywhere else.
01:22:42.000And now we're watching the Saudis, you know, talk about getting off the petrodollar.
01:22:46.000Like... I mean, these are serious, serious things.
01:22:49.000Like, these are probably, frankly, to the American public and to the average American, far more serious than the war in Ukraine in terms of consequence.
01:22:57.000And that's why we have to let them do it because they are now exposing themselves.
01:23:00.000When the average American is talking about inflation to a level of detail that I could never even imagine the average American even understanding or knowing, and they're schooling me on inflation these days.
01:23:10.000And I'm like, hey, Mom. I'm a congressman.
01:23:12.000You're scolding me on this stuff. When people knew what the SPR is, they know exactly what it is, when people are talking about, you know what, like, why are we unleashing American energy?
01:23:20.000Why are we not just fueling, you know, not our country, but our allies and the entire world?
01:23:25.000Why is Europe now burning record levels of coal and wood?
01:23:30.000The German-NATO thing was amazing. I'm like, so you want us to spend more in NATO to protect you from the Russians who you want to give a pipeline to to enrich.
01:24:30.000And I am 40 years old, and I'm a nonsense congressman, I recall that vividly.
01:24:36.000Don't tell me that we cannot get back to those times with the right leadership.
01:24:39.000And I am convinced that with two more years of this debauchery that we have seen, and running this country into the ground, I think the American spirit fire will rise again, but it won't be without a fight.
01:24:57.000When I was home in New York a couple weeks ago, I was just there briefly, and I went upstate, and my coming back in, the amount of cars that had Ukrainian flags on.
01:25:38.000But beyond that, we're sending missiles to people we don't have a track record.
01:25:41.000We have no idea what we're doing. We're sending money.
01:25:43.000We don't know where that is. But we also are depleting...
01:25:47.000Our military, you know, reserve, right?
01:25:49.000Talk about the strategic oil reserves and petroleum reserves.
01:25:53.000We're depleting our military reserves, which my father spent a lot of time trying to build up.
01:25:57.000And like, you know, China's flying over Taiwan.
01:26:01.000And, you know, that's only a matter of time.
01:26:03.000And whatever the timeline was, and maybe that was always the case.
01:26:06.000Chinese spy balloons flying over our country. We're not doing anything about it.
01:26:07.000And they should do the kid's science project rather than actually the balloon.
01:26:10.000And they knew about it beforehand because they saw it from moment one.
01:26:12.000Of course they did. Again, if it was me, they'd be asking, do you think that maybe the Chinese have something on Hunter because they gave him a billion dollars?
01:26:19.000No, no, no, but like, you'd ask the question, but they don't even ask the question anymore.
01:26:22.000You're right. So I'm hoping some of your other colleagues in the other committees, you know, get to the bottom of that one, because I know if it was anyone else other than the Democrat elite, like, we'd at least want to know the answer to the question.
01:26:32.000Maybe the answer is, it's totally innocent, and the Chinese give a lot of billion-dollar investments to crackheads.
01:26:38.000We don't. You know, I don't think that's the way they do their due diligence.
01:26:42.000I don't think that's the way they do their due diligence.
01:26:55.000Of course they are. I think they're smart.
01:26:56.000And they're taking advantage of us like we're idiots.
01:27:00.000Yeah, well, you're right. They got a plan, whether it's 50 years or 100 years, this is where they're going to be.
01:27:06.000They don't allow a two-year election cycle to get in the way of that.
01:27:09.000They will steamroll whatever it is to be where they want to be here, and we're sitting there worried about our pronouns.
01:27:15.000One of the most dangerous things that America has seen, I think, in the last 40 years is watching Xi Jinping shake hands with Vladimir Putin.
01:27:25.000That should be terrifying to the world.
01:27:28.000It's crazy. And you know why they're shaking hands?
01:27:30.000Because they're looking at America and they think to themselves, look, they're distracted.
01:28:10.000They didn't invade Georgia like they did under Obama, and they didn't do another invasion like they did under Bush, because I'm like, you know what?
01:28:16.000We'll wait. We'll wait and see what happens.
01:28:18.000Yeah, like, you know. And now, it's like, okay, because, again, we're worried about the Taliban and diversity and inclusion not actually winning the wars and all of that.
01:28:31.000Well, I love that you're in the fight, man.
01:28:34.000I appreciate your support on all of that.
01:28:37.000Guys, make sure to go check out Wesley on social, anywhere else where they can find you to see what you're doing to be able to support you.
01:28:48.000A true America first patriot, someone who's really done it, put it on the line for America, for our country, and it's just great to be in that foxhole with you.
01:28:56.000Thank you for having me. We are fighting for a lot.
01:28:57.000We are. And it matters. And it matters.
01:28:59.000And it's worth it. It's a worthy cause.
01:29:19.000More people will see it. Share it with your friends.
01:29:21.000Download the Rumble app so that you can pass it along to your friends and you see when guys like me are going on and we can have these conversations.
01:29:27.000We'll have to have Wesley back on when we hear about more stuff going on through the Judiciary Committee.
