Joe is half right. It is an incredible victory for President Macron. It's a French vote for stability and continuity in the face of worries about inflation and the cost of living in the face of turmoil of war in Ukraine. President Macron is the first French president to be re-elected in 20 years and as Joe is pointing out by an extraordinarily wide margin. But it is a | |
| A split screen. | ||
| On the one hand, you're going to have Western leaders and, of course, President Biden breathing a sigh of relief that this morning they're not waking up to a French president who is a fan of President Putin. | ||
| On the other hand, the election did reveal, just as we've seen in the US, deep divisions in France. | ||
| The rise of the right This is the biggest vote for a Le Pen candidate, either her or her father, so far. | ||
| The biggest vote for the far right since the Second World War. | ||
| And you know, guys, we were underneath the Eiffel Tower at Macron's victory rally last night, talking to people as they left. | ||
| And even as they left, They were talking about not the victory, but what Macron needs to do, how much frustration there is in France, how much he needs to try to unify the country, and how, frankly, how difficult he is going to find that to be able to do. | ||
| There are parliamentary elections later this year that will determine how much power he has. | ||
| Having said that, as a famous American politician said in the 19th century, to the victor go the spoils. | ||
| President Macron this morning is back in the Elysee Palace. | ||
| He is the leader of Europe and he is able now to dictate politically, globally, | ||
| Many of the vision, much of the vision that he has been laying out, President Biden congratulating with him and also saying interestingly in a tweet overnight, I look forward to continuing to work with him on what President Macron will be looking for is an equal partnership with the American president with the ability to say, well, here are some of the things I want internationally. | ||
| Another interesting point, just to finish, guys, President Macron was congratulated by President Zelensky almost immediately. | ||
| And this morning, the Kremlin is saying President Putin has telegraphed his congratulations. | ||
| He was trying to play peacemaker before the election. | ||
| What will he choose to do now in the face of this terrible war in Ukraine? | ||
| Yeah, don't bury the lead. | ||
| He was the head of the de-escalation party. | ||
| Okay, we're going to get to all this. | ||
| It is Monday, 25 April, Year of Error, 2022. | ||
| You're in the War Room. | ||
| We're live from the Imperial Capitol, and I've got Ben Harnwell is at the old Imperial Capitol in Rome, and we've got Steve Krita has a lot to go through, and we're going to get it all done today. | ||
| And very honored to have the Speaker of the House of Tennessee later to talk about the great job they're doing in the volunteer state to be a leader in the MAGA movement. | ||
| So we're gonna get to all this, a jam-packed show today. | ||
| Okay, let's go to, I want to go to Ben first, I'm gonna go to Steve. | ||
| Ben, this, look, 58, I couldn't figure out why they were not spiking the football more. | ||
| A 58-42, yes. | ||
| It's better than her. | ||
| It was two-thirds, one-third, I think, last year. | ||
| 63-37. | ||
| She was such a disaster in the debate. | ||
| In 17, she got crushed. | ||
| She got owned, or self-owned, on the debate the other night, I thought, and was suboptimal. | ||
| But obviously, the numbers shifted. | ||
| But when you really unpack the numbers here, it is unbelievable. | ||
| From the first round, I think Quintet is going to have something to back up the second round. | ||
| Except for the over 65 vote. | ||
| He lost in most of the he lost in most of the demographics and lost really big for people under 35. | ||
| My theory of that these current generations understand their Russian service that the neoliberal neocon globalist don't really provide them any hope for the future. | ||
| And there's a major reaction to this. | ||
| When the guy at MSNBC said, later in the year, their essential House and Senate races are within 60 days. | ||
| I think it's in mid-June. | ||
| And that'll show whether, and every indication is that Macron is not going to, his party is not going to have big victories there. | ||
| And so he's going to be in the same jam that Biden is going to be after this November. | ||
| Ben Harnwell, walk us through your assessment from Rome, and then we'll go to Steve Cortes. | ||
| Morning Steve. | ||
| Well look, it's difficult to know how to interpret these French results because there are indications that go in both directions. | ||
| On the first hand, I think it's fair to say that going back to the beginning of the Fifth Republic, the Fifth French Republic in the mid-60s with de Gaulle, There hasn't been an incumbent president to win election, having maintained control of the French National Assembly throughout his first term. | ||
| This is the first time that has happened. | ||
| So in a certain sense, that is a success for President Macron. | ||
| On the other hand, it is normally the case when a president wins a second term, and this hasn't happened In France for 20 years, that he will also win because they have midterm elections halfway through in France. | ||
| It is normally the case that after the president wins his election, he'll get a bounce in the parliamentary elections three months later. | ||
| This time around, I think it's 12th of June this year. | ||
| And already people are saying that's not going to be very likely for Macron. | ||
| So it's difficult to know how to evaluate this result. | ||
| Hang on a second, I don't agree with that at all, but let's bring in Cortez. | ||
| Steve, what is your assessment, particularly the demographic breakdown? | ||
| I mean, Macron won this because, let's be blunt, she's just not a great candidate. | ||
| She's a good person, I know her quite well. | ||
| If you had had Zemmour, and I understand Zemmour collapsed later, if you had Marianne Michel, right? | ||
| If you had somebody that people would look and say, I see that person as a president. | ||
| The French are very snooty about this. | ||
| They have a certain way of what they see as presidents of their country. | ||
| And it's just not going to be Le Pen. | ||
| That's what this vote is. | ||
| If you look at the demographics, you look at the, and that's where they said, hey, it's about, he's got to quote-unquote unite the country. | ||
| I say in the buried lead of the report that he sees himself as the leader of Europe on a co-equal basis with Biden. | ||
| You heard that at the end of MSNBC? | ||
| He sees himself as leader of Europe and a co-equal. | ||
| Macron is a nationalist, but the capital of his nations in Brussels, it's the EU. | ||
| He's the party of Davos front guy. | ||
| He's the party of Davos. | ||
| He's the front man. | ||
| Steve Cortez. | ||
| You know, Steve, what I think will be most revealing for the United States, because of course, I believe just as he believes in France first, I believe in America first. | ||
| What will be most revealing and important and relevant for the United States regarding Macron is that he was among Western European leaders regarding this Ukraine situation and the Russia-Ukraine war. | ||
| He was by far the most reasonable of the Western European leaders, meaning he was not for escalation. | ||
| As a matter of fact, he was often a counter to President Biden. | ||
| He was often calling for de-escalation, very properly so. | ||
| Now, was he doing that for purely electoral reasons? | ||
| We're going to find out very shortly. | ||
| Was he doing it to win this re-election in France? | ||
| My hope is that it was authentic and that he will continue to be a voice for de-escalation, but I suspect we're going to find out very soon. | ||
| But to connect the dots here politically between what's going on in France and the United States, the same trend is evident in Paris, Texas, as it is in Paris, France, and that is young people are revolting against globalism. | ||
| Because the young people of France, and you showed the chart there, they overwhelmingly rejected Macron. | ||
| The only reason he won is he got a massive lion's share of the older vote in France. | ||
| Young people in France Are rightly revolting against Macron, against globalism, against the ruling class of Paris and Brussels and Davos, just as here in America, young people are revolting against Biden and globalism, as shown by the most recent Quinnipiac poll. | ||
| In that poll, what got most of the attention was his plummeting approval rating among Hispanics, and that certainly is a really important story. | ||
| He got only 26% approval for Biden among Latino citizens in the United States, but perhaps even more telling for him And for the movement, for our movement, is 21% approval, according to Quinnipiac, among young Americans 18 to 34 years old for Joe Biden. | ||
| So, young people in France, young people in the United States, they increasingly, unfortunately, face a future that the ruling class prescribes for them, which is a future of war and debt and a lack of opportunity and really deprivation economically. | ||
| Thankfully, young people are awakening to that. | ||
| And because of this new reality, because of this nascent trend among young people, it just adds to the opportunity for our movement to again become a dominant political movement for decades to come in this country and it seems like in other countries as well. | ||
| Bingo, that's it right there. | ||
| Okay, 28% of the people that are eligible to vote in France did not vote. | ||
| When all the demographics come through, guys, trust me, that is going to be to the younger edge of the scale. | ||
| The younger people are despondent, so a bunch of them didn't vote. | ||
| The ones that voted, voted for the far right. | ||
| They voted as a, and I'm not saying they totally embrace everything of the far right, but they voted against the globalists. | ||
| The old folks voted in record numbers. | ||
| They're voting because Le Pen, I think, scares them about her ideas about the pension. | ||
| Macron, who's a former investment banker, a guy at Rothschilds, he sits there and goes, hey, he's hammering her during the debate. | ||
| Says, you don't have a plan. | ||
| You give this kind of talk, but where are the taxes going to come from? | ||
| How are you going to pay for it? | ||
| And she has no response. | ||
| And Steve, you know... The old folks... Hey, I say that in a... Go ahead, Steve Cortez. | ||
| The old people though said, hey, overwhelmingly going to support Macron because they see him as stability for their pension. | ||
| Steve Cortez. | ||
| And Steve, on the economic side, I think this is crucial because, let's face it, there has been a generational grand larceny committed by boomers against young people right now. | ||
| The debt that we are piling on, $30 trillion of debt in the United States, a debt that is going to become increasingly untenable as interest rates rise, and they've been rising dramatically, Because of Biden's inflation. | ||
| That is effectively a generational theft from young Americans. | ||
| In addition to that, regarding inflation, and the inflation states is far worse than France, but they still have bad inflation over there. | ||
| The inflation scenario, Steve. | ||
| Who benefits from inflation? | ||
| It is the owners of assets, which are overwhelmingly older people. | ||
| Just by definition, the people who own lots of assets, the people who are benefiting from inflation, almost always are middle-aged, if not elderly. | ||
| Who relies on wages, on income? | ||
| Young people. | ||
| Real wages are crashing In the United States because of the policies of Joe Biden. | ||
| So this there was already a generational grand larceny going on and it is being massively exacerbated now by inflation because again young people in general are not holders of significant assets. | ||
| They are people who are starting to make money. | ||
| They are the aspirational people who want to acquire assets including a new home, which has been increasingly Priced out of reach for far too many young Americans. | ||
| And again, this is a global phenomenon. | ||
| I'm focused here, first and foremost, always. | ||
| But it's clearly happening in France as well. | ||
| Ben, I want to go back to you. | ||
| We had another clown show. | ||
| You had Blinken and Austin over there. | ||
| More weapons, more escalation. | ||
| Guys on MSNBC and Fox all weekend talking about victory. | ||
| You know, you've got to define victory as driving the Russians out. | ||
| I was on Italian TV and unfortunately we can't play because it turns out it's actually in Italian. | ||
| They translated it. | ||
| But I warned Ben the other night that this diaspora of young people from Italy and France shows you that the policies of the globalists are not working. | ||
| The kids in the United States, there's no place to go. | ||
| This is the last best hope of mankind. | ||
| That's what we have to help. | ||
| We have to turn this thing around here to deal with it. | ||
| But in France and in Italy, another place in the cotton, Ben Harnwell, they flee. | ||
| Well, Steve, I've got your quote because I typed it up myself. | ||
| This is what you said. | ||
| On your interview on Italian television. | ||
| This is the tragedy of Italy, of France, of Spain and of other countries. | ||
| It's for this reason there's a diaspora where all your youth leave seeking better opportunities elsewhere. | ||
| And the point you're saying is because France, that was the case you're talking about, is controlled by the elites. | ||
| So you made that point in that interview. | ||
| If I can, I'd come back. | ||
| I want to come back because you referred to To Marine Le Pen just now as a far right vote. | ||
| And I don't think that's that's fair. | ||
| I don't think it represents really the nuances. | ||
| And I know you said this yourself. | ||
| I know you're using the term as a shorthand, but she wasn't. | ||
| You know, there's a there's a huge part of that, of her electoral program, which overtook Macron on the left. | ||
| It's one of the strange ways of trying to measure politics these days that the old paradigm doesn't doesn't hold so much. | ||
| You want to talk about Blinken and Austin's visit to Ukraine? | ||
| I tell you what, I do. | ||
| Hang on. | ||
| I do as soon as we take a short commercial break. | ||
| We're going to take a short break. | ||
| We've got Cortez, we've got Harnwell. | ||
| We're breaking this all down. | ||
| Huge victories over the weekend in Michigan. | ||
| We're going to have hopefully some of the Michigan folks this morning. | ||
| If not, we're going to have them this afternoon. | ||
| We've got we've got a big conference coming up in North Carolina about the situation with groomers and what everything's happening in the school system. | ||
| We've got Naomi Wolf. | ||
| The head of Scott Gottlieb came on CBS meet or face the nation. | ||
| You're saying had a completely different analysis of what's going on than Naomi Wolf. | ||
| In fact, he said they're going to be pushing forward for vaccines for under five year olds. | ||
| It's a pretty jammed show. | ||
| Mike Lindell and the team out in Arizona have filed also to get rid of the machines. | ||

| Just so much good stuff going on. | ||
| House leadership is heading to the Eagle Pass, Texas. | ||
| Remember Eagle Pass? | ||
| I think we've done some broadcasting from there. | ||
| Eagle Pass, Texas today to talk about immigration. | ||

| Once you get that, you then execute on it. | ||
| And it's got to be hard execution. | ||
| So there's a whole theory of the case we have on this that we're working. | ||
| Just make sure everybody understands people working 24-7 and this thing's all moving in the right direction. | ||
| We're gonna have Michigan, massive victories in Michigan, big victories in Utah. | ||

| That's how we keep jacked here in the War Room. | ||
| It's got me off the Red Bulls. | ||
| It's that, it's that good. | ||
| Okay, Ben Harnwell. | ||
| Is he now, he's the leader of the, don't lose sight of this while we're over there and all weekend it's getting scarier. | ||
| It's getting scarier because we're talking, you have these clowns on, I shouldn't say the clowns, dangerous folks on Fox News. | ||
| On MSNBC and CNN and the redefining says you've got to redefine this as victory. | ||
| Here's what victory means. | ||
| It's driving the Russians out. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've got to help them victory, victory, victory, victory, victory. | |
| Blinken and Austin are over there and they're making more commitments on arms shipment. | ||
| The United States right now is the escalation party. | ||
| Macron, to win, was the leader of the de-escalation. | ||
| Like, let's get to a table and stop, and he had Blinken, and we'll hopefully pull it later. | ||
| Blinken actually says, Russia is losing, Ukraine is winning. | ||
| Well, you know, if I'm a Ukrainian citizen, I don't know if the Donbass or Mariupol or, when I'm looking at these things, they look like Dresden in 1945. | ||
| That doesn't feel like winning to me. | ||
| Ben Harnwell. | ||
| I mean, there's a difference between Russia not having the victory at the time frame that it wanted two months ago and Russia losing. | ||
| They're two very different things. | ||
| And I think Secretary of State Antony Blinken errs by massive exaggeration on that point. | ||
| And it's important to know where you stand on this. | ||
| As an aside, the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Friday he was talking about the hypothesis that Russia might win the war. | ||
| And I think he's one of the first Western leaders that started to speak in those terms. | ||
| And it's therefore interesting that whilst Britain, I think, and I think that's a reasonable analysis, by the way, whilst Britain is talking about the potential of Russia winning this war in the long term, that we're still going ahead and arming the Ukrainian people to fight a war that it is unlikely that they will win because it'll be massive human, humanitarian damage. | ||
| Massive infrastructural damage. | ||
| However, does it mean that there's no money? | ||
| Because there is money. | ||
| And today, and I have to congratulate you Americans, because you're always so generous. | ||
| You're paying today $713 million to Ukraine in military financing, which is very kind of you. | ||
| However, to put that in perspective, what is that kind of money? | ||
| It's about the amount, it's a little less than the amount of oil and gas which we're still buying from Russia on a daily basis. | ||
| Steve Cortez, this is the hypocrisy of it. | ||
| We broke the Guardian, I think, had it last week. | ||
| No, excuse me, the Times of London had it, that there's still actually, there's certain countries in Europe still, who are not paying 2% for NATO, right? | ||
| The great unification that Biden's done. | ||
| They're still not paying for the, that are actually selling weapons to the Russians in rubles. | ||
| And you've got buying gas. | ||
| They haven't changed one item. | ||
| Germany's not going to change. | ||
| Italy's not going to change. | ||
| I called those intellectuals out the other night on Italian TV, on live TV, called them right out. | ||
| Not one came back and said, yes, we have to stop buying, because they can't afford to live. | ||
| Steve Kortes. | ||
| Listen, Steve, it's a great point because our partners in NATO clearly are still not pulling their weight, not paying their fair share, their agreed-upon share in NATO. | ||
| But even worse than that, at the same time, They are simultaneously funding both sides of this war in the Black Sea. | ||
| You're exactly right. | ||
| The United States, along with NATO partners, we are literally funding both sides in this war while we, unfortunately, the United States ruling class, not we meaning the deplorables, but the ruling class in this country, continues to be the leadership, chattering class, arguing for escalation. | ||
| You mentioned the Times of London. | ||
| There was also a story in the Times of London yesterday, and I want to quote from it because I think this is really important. | ||
| The former Supreme Allied Commander for America in NATO, General Philip Breedlove. | ||
| He was the commander from 2013 to 2016. | ||
| He said yesterday, and this is a quote, time to stand up to Putin by putting boots on the ground in Ukraine. | ||
| Boots on the ground in Ukraine from the former Supreme Allied Commander in the Times of London. | ||
| The escalation crowd is getting more brazen, is getting more bold, I think largely because they see that Russia isn't going anywhere in eastern Ukraine. | ||
| So, again, Macron, thankfully, has actually been a voice of reason. | ||
| Now, we're going to find out, was that just for electoral convenience, or is it actual conviction from him? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I hope it's conviction, because we need him to be a voice of de-escalation. | |
| I think he's going to have forced conviction. | ||
| These parliamentary elections are a big deal in France. | ||
| This thing in June, if he starts escalating again, he's going to get wiped out. | ||
| The people of Europe, all the polls out there, what has it been? | ||
| 42% of the Italians, I threw this at them on national TV, they didn't have an answer. | ||
| I said, poll shows 42% of your own people will not militarily defend Italy. | ||
| So you're telling me you're gonna go defend Ukraine? | ||
| And last night on Fox, once again, some big famous names are sitting there with the pom-poms out on military involvement in Ukraine and all this, all nonsense, all crap. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| It's all crap. | ||
| That's that neocon, neoliberal order that's collapsed. | ||
| And the Republican Party says, politics is about addition, not subtraction. | ||
| Any idiot says elections are about the future, or politics about addition, change the channel right there. | ||
| That's a snake oil salesman. | ||
| How about this for the edition? | ||
| Inclusive nationalism and participatory populism. | ||
| What we're seeing in Michigan, what we're seeing in Utah, what you're seeing across the country. | ||
| At every school board, in every conference, every convention they have now. | ||
| Here's the edition. | ||
| Hispanic Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, and people under 35 years old. | ||
| That are not, you're being force-fed that they're woke. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| They actually understand that they don't have economic opportunities. | ||
| This is why they had the teenagers now, all-time depression in the wealthiest nation on the earth. | ||
| They're depressed. | ||
| You got all these young women saying, I'm autistic. | ||
| It's all, it's all mental, it's all a mental disorder put on by the apparatus. | ||
| We can, we can break free of that. | ||
| That's addition. | ||
| How about this for addition? | ||
| Two-thirds to 75% of the American people agree with us when you articulate exactly what the problem is. | ||
| In France, you saw it. | ||
| The 28% that didn't vote when it comes out at the end of the day are not the old folks. | ||
| They showed up. | ||
| You know why? | ||
| They want their pensions, okay? | ||
| They want to make sure they don't have a little pen, you know, with some half-baked idea of hers, and it was a half-baked idea, or if it was fully baked, she didn't articulate it. | ||
| And that's why the 28% were the young people. | ||
| And last night I even saw the protests and demonstrations. | ||
| That's why they're coming out from the Eiffel Tower for this big victory. | ||
| They're not high-fiving each other. | ||
| This was the tell. | ||
| They had the long face on yesterday. | ||
| Number one, they understand they have to continue to de-escalate. | ||
| The party of Davos, NATO, and I want to add in not just Breedlove, but Hodges, I think it was Hodges, over the weekend on MSNBC, another NATO commander, and Jim Stavridis, They've got all the military guys out there saying, boots on the ground, boots on the ground, boots on the ground. | ||
| Hey, first off, guys, why don't you drop all your consulting deals and board memberships and stock ownerships and the defense contractors? | ||
| Every defense contractor, we're sending another $400 million yesterday. | ||
| There should be no profit margin. | ||
| Zero. | ||
| That's blood money. | ||
| They should get cost and that's it. | ||
| If we're going to continue to ship over there and not ship that down... How about this? | ||
| The defense contractors. | ||
| We'll give you big fat margins. | ||
| Big fat margins if we send that. | ||
| If you get to Congress and start lobbying to send it to our southern border. | ||
| Let's send it to our southern border. | ||
| That's where the invasion is. | ||
| The invasion on the Eastern Russian-speaking side of Ukraine, we don't have a dog in the fight. | ||
| I'm sorry Fox pom-pom holders and cheerleaders. | ||
| It's not in the vital national security interest of the United States. | ||
| It's not in the national security interest of the United States. | ||
| It's in the interest of the post-war liberal rules-based order. | ||
| Which was this apparatus set up that China, because they paid off everybody, went from a $1 trillion economy in 1999 to a $20 trillion economy today, to challenge us everywhere as an existential threat and to infiltrate our country at every certain level. | ||
| And now they've got 400 million people shut down and the mainstream media won't even say boo about it. | ||
| They got more people locked down, hard lockdowns, than we have in the good old United States of America. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| Cortez is going to stick around. | ||
| Ben Harnwell is going to join us back a little later. | ||
| We're going to go to Michigan. | ||
| We got a lot going on. | ||
| Plug in. | ||
| Get some coffee. | ||
| Get jacked up. | ||
| Go to warpath.coffee. | ||
| Get your Mariners blend, the dark roast. | ||
| The premier dark roast. | ||
| Ever made. | ||

| She's going to be on today. | ||
| I'm trying to get Matt DiPerno. | ||
| This is going to be this evening. | ||
| Ran the tables in Michigan, of course, all over the country. | ||
| Go to precinctstrategy.com. | ||
| I'm getting feedback every day, particularly on the weekends. | ||
| People go to these conferences, go to these down in Williamsburg, Virginia, this weekend at the Voter Integrity Summit. | ||
| People, the War Room. | ||
| Vanguard, the War Room, Cadre, Posse, whatever you call yourselves, have shown up in record numbers and jacked up. | ||
| Make sure you go to precinctstrategy.com. | ||
| I want to bring in Petty McMurray, 100% fed up the website, works for the Hofstra, the great gateway pundit, a conservative news site up there. | ||
| Patti, and by the way, Patti, for full disclosure, I have to, because I have a tendency, I love having Mics on here and Scottish and people I can hammer with my heritage, but you're actually Patti McMurray. | ||
| You don't have any Irish or Scottish blood. | ||
| You're Romanian and Polish. | ||
| Full disclosure. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's correct. | |
| Yeah, full disclosure. | ||
| I have no Irish. | ||
| I have a very Irish-sounding name. | ||
| You think? | ||
| Tell us, Patti, what happened over the weekend? | ||
| It was a two-thirds vote sweep in the convention in Michigan of the MAGA movement? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, I mean, it was really pretty incredible. | |
| I mean, this movement didn't just happen at the convention. | ||
| There are several people in Michigan that are some of the most incredible grassroots people that you'll ever find. | ||
| Mike Lindell actually came in to endorse Matt DiPerno or to support Matt DiPerno before the convention and Christina Caramo. | ||
| And additionally, a new candidate, Matt Seeley, who's running in the 8th district in a district that's traditionally has been Democrat for, I think, 62 years now. | ||
| And we have a chance with the redistricting to win this district. | ||
| So he came in to support those three people. | ||
| And speaking to the crowd, he mentioned that Michigan Um, is one of three states that he's traveled to, and he's traveled to pretty much most of the states in the United States that he considers to be a top grassroots activist state. | ||
| And that's because people like Michonne Maddock, who is our co-chair of the Michigan GOP, Marion Sheridan, who's the grassroots vice chair, and several other people by design had planned it that way. | ||
| Um, they worked for years to get themselves into positions within the GOP, within the establishment. | ||
| Um, And then use those positions to help boost the grassroots movement, which is nothing more really when you talk about a grassroots movement than listening to the will of the voters and the constituents. | ||
| So we give us a this weekend. | ||
| Yeah, we had the convention this weekend. | ||
| The delegates were there. | ||
| There were 2000 delegates. | ||
| It was very exciting. | ||
| We kind of knew going into it that Christina Caramo is probably going to be A landslide election that she would win without any issues, which she did. | ||
| We had the first ballot, the first ballot, the people vote on the first ballot, the delegates vote on the first ballot, and after they vote, the votes are tallied. | ||
| And if the candidates don't achieve over 50%, then they go to a second ballot, a runoff. | ||
| And that's kind of what happened with Matt DiPerno. | ||
| Christina Caramo made it through. | ||
| But a second ballot was forced for Matt DiPerno. | ||
| And it was really incredible, the energy in the room, because there were so many DiPerno people there, mixed in with so many establishment Republicans. | ||
| And what's interesting is all the state lawmakers that showed up, with the exception of maybe Matt Maddock and Dara Rendon, to support Tom Leonard, who was running against Matt DiPerno. | ||
| Tom Leonard was the establishment Republican. | ||
| Who got all the endorsements from the establishment Republicans. | ||
| He got all the PAC money. | ||
| I mean, the odds were completely stacked against Matt DiPerno, but Matt DiPerno was clearly the favorite because what Michigan Republicans, lawmakers, and we have a majority in Michigan, don't understand is that election fraud is still the number one issue with voters in Michigan. | ||
| It's still the number one issue, yet they continue to To be right and try to humiliate any of us who try to stand up for election integrity in our state. | ||
| And I'll give you an example. | ||
| We have a Secure My Vote petition that's going around right now. | ||
| It's securemyvote.org. | ||
| And it does three things. | ||
| It forces the state to mandate that we have voter ID for in-person and absentee ballot voting. | ||
| It also doesn't allow Secretary of State Benson to blanket our state with absentee ballot requests that are not, they're unsolicited. | ||
| And then the third thing that it does is it prohibits election bribery in the form of drop boxes that are purchased by third parties. | ||
| So there will be no third party interference in our elections. | ||
| And with this initiative, if we can get this This ballot initiative through Governor Whitmer doesn't have to approve it, or she can't veto it. | ||
| It's veto proof. | ||
| And the Democrats are so afraid of this initiative going through that they're actually paying our petition gathers to not gather petitions. | ||
| They're paying them more to not gather signatures on the petitions. | ||
| So we're in a pretty hostile situation in our state. | ||
| But the good news is that we have all these amazing grassroots people that are standing up and that's what happened at the convention this weekend. | ||
| It was just the grassroots, just a groundswell of grassroots people who've had enough of these establishment Republicans. | ||
| Michigan is leading the way. | ||
| You've got Tennessee, you've got Michigan, you've got, not just simply Florida, which, I mean, DeSantis, the guy's crushing it, he's full flux, beast mode down there. | ||
| Texas, grassroots, the guys leading it, the establishment, Abeno's guys, not a fan of that. | ||
| Ducey in the grassroots in Arizona, but I gotta tell you, places you wouldn't think of. | ||
| Tennessee and Michigan. | ||
| Last question, Patty, why did the establishment Republicans continue to fight the grassroots? | ||
| We have the energy, we have the votes, you have people that'll give up their time, their effort, knock on doors, do whatever. | ||
| Why is it that you have, and Michigan's the most confusing, Cause you have this, you're actually in control of the legislature, but they're probably the hardest core establishment of wanting to blow up the grassroots. | ||
| Why is that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, um, I think probably, um, Christina Karamo and actually Matt DiPerno are both good examples of why, um, you know, when the tallies were, when the tally board was up in the, the count in the big convention center, it was kind of in the corner of the room off to the side of the stage. | |
| And, um, And one of the activists noticed that Matt DiPerno was standing by himself over kind of near the corner of the room, a different corner of the room. | ||
| And she approached him and asked him why he wasn't watching the numbers coming in. | ||
| And he wasn't even aware that the tally board was where the numbers were coming in because he's not an establishment politician. | ||
| He's not an establishment Republican. | ||
| He was, you know, he was there to represent the people. | ||
| He did a great job of getting the grassroots people there and showing their support. | ||
| But that he's, you know, when you look around, you could see all the Leonard people standing with their clipboards and writing all the numbers down and calculating his odds. | ||
| And here's Matt DiPerno standing over in the corner, kind of, you know, praying that he's going to be pushed through. | ||
| And actually, just for the record, Matt only lost by a little over one and a half percent in the first ballot. | ||
| Otherwise, it would have just been a one ballot vote and he would have gone through. | ||
| That's how much support he had. | ||
| Um, and then, you know, when you look at people like Christina, she doesn't need a political filter. | ||
| She's, you know, a lot like Trump. | ||
| She speaks from her heart. | ||
| Whatever Christina thinks comes from her heart and out of her mouth. | ||
| And it's really quite incredible, um, how much these, these people, these establishment type people fear that kind of approach to politics. | ||
| You know, that's, it's not politics as usual. | ||
| It's politics for the people and that's what they fear. | ||
| This is what populism is. | ||
| Participatory populism. | ||
|

|
Right. | |
| Patty, how do people get to your site? | ||
| Because if you want to understand Michigan, you've got to go to 100%FedUp. | ||
| How did they get there? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's 100%FedUp.com. | |
| It's spelled out 100 P-E-R-C-E-N-T FedUp.com. | ||
| And we also have a pretty huge Facebook presence as well. | ||
| Of course, you know, ever since Donald Trump was elected, we lost 90% The ability for our followers to see our content, but we're still there and we're on all the other social media sites as well, except for Twitter and YouTube where I've been kicked off, and LinkedIn. | ||
| I've also been kicked off for reporting about election fraud. | ||
| Well, those days are about to change. | ||
| Patty, thank you very much. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I hope so. | |
| Yeah, thanks for having me, Steve. | ||
| Sure, anytime. | ||
| Michigan, I'm telling you. | ||
| Cortez. | ||
| And by the way, we've got an update on Twitter. | ||
| This thing's going a lot quicker. | ||
| Remember, I told you that they retained Goldman Sachs. | ||
| They'll be looking for $100 a share. | ||
| I'm not so sure that Goldman's done such a great job of getting up a competing bid. | ||
| Hey, if Steve Bannon was running the show like back in the old days, we'd have five competing offers, Cortez. | ||
| I'd get that number. | ||
| I'd make Elon Musk pay $100 a share before he got a fairness opinion. | ||
| But it looks like the discussions, it looks like they may have, I don't know if they've had a deal, but they've told him to come back with your best Your final and best. | ||
| And they met over the weekend, which is a big deal, so Twitter. | ||
| But tell me about Michigan, Cortez. | ||
| You've looked specifically at Michigan. | ||
| Give me your analysis. | ||
| Look, what's going on right now in Michigan, and it's happening across this country, it's really exciting, Steve, because the Republican Party at the voter level, at the activist-citizen level, has already been transformed into a pro-worker, America First Movement that combines cultural conservatism with economic populist nationalism. | ||
| But that transformation is not complete, not at all, at the donor and legacy officeholder level. | ||
| So that's what's going on right now and why people like Patty are so important and it's happening all over this country. | ||
| We are going to complete that task, that transformation, but the work is ongoing. | ||
| And here's why the field is ripe for this movement right now. | ||
| If we look at the polling in Michigan specifically, According to civics polling, this is really pretty startling for Democrats. | ||
| Believe me, this will have them pulling their hair out. | ||
| The approve-disapprove of Biden in the state of Michigan, 36% approve, that's it. | ||
| 55% disapprove. | ||
| To put that in context, This same poll by Civics, when Joe Biden took office, he was positive in approved-disapproved. | ||
| He was 48-43. | ||
| He was positive by 5% approved-disapproved. | ||
| He is now underwater by 19%, a 24% net reversal in just over a year. | ||
| Why? | ||
| Because, number one, Michigan people, like so many Americans, but particularly the American heartland, they are suffering, really suffering from Biden's inflation. | ||
| And again, I say it's the two I's, inflation and immigration. | ||
| Those are the two issues for this fall. | ||
| But specific to Michigan, what I would also say, I think there is continuing fallout, continuing ripple effects from the scam that the FBI tried to pull off in the state of Michigan by completely manufacturing a crime for purposes of national political manipulation regarding the 2020 election. | ||
| That scam fell apart because a jury in Michigan, in Western Michigan, thankfully was brave enough to say, no, we're going to acquit two of them. | ||
| A hung jury on two more defendants. | ||
| I think that will have continuing fallout in Michigan of people waking up to what the ruling class has done to them. | ||
| And what's going on in Michigan is exciting. | ||
| We're going to win Michigan in 2024 for the presidency for a third straight time. | ||
| And yes, that will be the third straight time. | ||
| But first, we need to elect real America first people this fall in 22. | ||
| And it seems like that's happening with the assistance and the hard work of great patriots like Patty. | ||
| By the way, Julie Kelly will be on in this second hour to talk about Chris Rea. | ||
| Scott Pelley does an interview with him last night. | ||
| 60 Minutes never brings up Michigan whatsoever. | ||
| Get to all that. | ||
| Ben, I know you've got to bounce. | ||
| What's your social media that people can follow you throughout the day and for your live broadcast? | ||
| Thanks, Steve. | ||
| Yeah, it's simply my surname. | ||
| It's at Hornwell. | ||
| Getter at Hornwell. | ||
| We'll be breaking up my analysis over the rest of the day. | ||
| Ben, fantastic. | ||
| Ben's going to be keeping an eye on the breakdown of the demographics of Macron's victory in France. | ||
| Very important for us here to particularly look at what young people said, which is a... I think they gave the middle finger to the French establishment. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| We're going to come back. | ||
| Steve Cortez has got an analysis of the guy that wants to be Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, the Majority Leader. | ||
| They're down in Eagle Pass, Texas today. | ||
| House leadership, and the New York Times has a copy of the report, Jim Jordan's 60-page report of what they're going to do come January 2023, when the star chambers start with our 100-seat pickup in the House of Representatives. | ||

| But if the company then says, alright, forget what we said on this law, we'll live with it, we don't flip-o, we'll live with it, will this exemption that they enjoy be reinstated or come next year it won't be slapped on them? | ||
| Well, the special district that involved Disney was the only one related to a private company. | ||
| The others that are being reviewed are all governmental special districts, and they're the ones that need to be reviewed. | ||
| They're the ones that haven't had this... Well, you were aware this exemption existed, right? | ||
| I mean, it didn't come to light just now, right? | ||
| Well, Florida lawmakers, many of the Florida lawmakers, I can tell you, have stated on programs like this that they weren't aware that these special districts had not been reviewed since the 1968 constitutional revision. | ||
| It's appropriate, and that's why they acted. | ||
| I understand where you're coming from, but do you fear that a Democratic governor could come in, he or she is equally adamant about something else a company has said or done, maybe Disney, threatens the same thing. | ||
| Could this be, again with the best of intentions, a slippery slope? | ||
| We've never seen anything like this. | ||
| A company that's been given such ability to control a large landmass and come out and fraudulently start making statements about Florida lawmakers, about Florida law. | ||
| This has never happened historically. | ||
| Okay, that was Cavuto over at TV for Stupid People. | ||
| That would be Fox. | ||
| You know, he's kissing Fauci's butt, okay? | ||
| And if you want to find out about Fauci, Neil Cavuto ought to get this. | ||
| The real Anthony Fauci. | ||
| Make sure you go to Amazon and get it. | ||
| Because this is, we've got the immigration 60-page report from Jordan that's going to lay out how we're going to go after, I think, leading to the first article of impeachment on Biden. | ||
| But Fauci's, you've got to get everything, so get to real, Anthony Fauci, order it. | ||
| He's sitting there rubbing up on Fauci, but he's hammering the AG of Florida. | ||
| We're going to have Sloane Rackmuth on in the next hour to go through Disney, Pearson. | ||
| This thing is so insidious, okay? | ||
| And you have him there, up in her grill. | ||
| And everything they're spinning right now are all lies. | ||
| It's all lies and misrepresentations about the taxes. | ||
| Taxes on MSNBC and CNN all weekend, and even Cavuto on Fox. | ||
| Oh, the taxpayers and things, that's all crap. | ||
| DeSantis, these guys, Sabatini, they're smart folks in that AG. | ||
| They know exactly what they're doing. | ||
| They're playing Smash Mouth on people you've got to play Smash Mouth on. | ||
| Cortez and I and others, Navarro, we have warned about this for years. | ||
| The Republican Party, the controlled opposition over there at Fox, gave them tax cuts and deregulations on and on and on and on, and you created a Frankenstein monster. | ||
| And it's left to us to take it on. | ||
| That's fine. | ||
| We're going to take it on, and we're not going to back off one inch. | ||
| Steve Cortez. | ||
| You know, Steve, leave it to corporatist Cavuto to always and everywhere defend the prerogatives of the oligarchs. | ||
| And that's what he did right there. | ||
| And let's face it, America, we need to be honest about this, Steve. | ||
| America, in many ways, is descending into oligarchy. | ||
| We are devolving to a rule of oligarchs rather than a republic, which, of course, we always have been and always must be. | ||
| Now, we can still save it. | ||
| There is still time. | ||
| Speaking of time, you need to know what time it is in America right now, and it is time to fight back against big business. | ||
| Disney never should have had these special privileges in the first place, but when Disney decided as a company that it was going to try to poison the minds of the children of America, intentionally so, then it loses any, for any right, it never had a right in the first place, but any preference that it should ever have towards special privileges in the state of Florida. | ||
| And Ron DeSantis, thank goodness, is standing up for the citizens of Florida and saying, we are not scared of you. | ||
| Florida is such a wonderful place to do business. | ||
| We do not need to cater to corporate interests in this country any longer. | ||
| He is in so many ways, when it comes to the virus, when it comes to this issue, he is a model governor. | ||
| I refer to him as Governor Beast Mode. | ||
| He is the model governor for the rest of America. | ||
| This is how we need to use state power to fight back. | ||
| Because the days of small government solutions to fighting the oligarchy Those days are long past, Steve. | ||
| We need to embrace state power properly used to defend the rights and the prosperity and the security of Americans, including the right to have their children grow up with innocence and the right for parents to instruct their children, not corporations, not the teachers union. | ||
| Patriots, the events of recent days have further revealed that Kevin McCarthy is both dishonest and disloyal, and he should be ousted from Republican leadership for reasons of philosophy as well as principles. | ||
| Let's play Steve Cortez's Chalk Talk. | ||
| Patriots, the events of recent days have further revealed that Kevin McCarthy is both dishonest and disloyal, and he should be ousted from Republican leadership for reasons of philosophy as well as principles. | ||
| But here's the thing, it's also a politically easy calculus. | ||
| For those numbers, let's get to Chalk Talk, brought to you by Getter. | ||
| Now, this is McCarthy polling using the RealClearPolitics National Polling Average. | ||
| He is the least popular national political figure in America. | ||
| His approval rating is only 24.3%. | ||
| That's a few ticks below Mitch McConnell, who comes in at 24.8. | ||
| Both of them are actually hugely below Nancy Pelosi, believe it or not, who herself has a dreadful 35% approval rating. | ||
| Here's the thing, Patriots. | ||
| It is important that we demand for America First. | ||
| Leaders who demonstrate courage, authenticity, and know what time it is in America. | ||
| For that reason, these Washington sewer dinosaurs, they have to go. | ||
| It's time to fight back. | ||
| Cortez, maybe try to get you this afternoon, definitely tomorrow. | ||
| Real quickly, we've got about 30 seconds. | ||
| Hit us on Twitter. | ||
| What's your call there? | ||
| Yeah, listen, on Twitter, look, it's good news, certainly, right, that we're, it seems, going to have more freedom on the platform, but I'm not one of these from the right wing who's going to just instantly applaud Elon Musk, because I don't want to replace one billionaire with another billionaire who seems to be more reasonable. | ||
| I think these companies need to be regulated, period. | ||
| This is the new public square in the 2020s, America, so it's welcome news, but it's not an all-clear. | ||
| Let's not signal the all-clear, that's for sure. | ||
| Okay, give us all your contact points, sir. | ||
| Yeah, please find me at getter at Steve. | ||
| Very simple there, and you can go to my substack, the article I wrote about Kevin McCarthy, why he has to go. | ||

I'm also at Twitter at Cortez, Steve Cortez with an S. We're going to track down Cortez either later today or tomorrow to drill down on this Kevin McCarthy situation. | |
