I think Pallas, my lovely friend. | |
| I first discovered drag at 13. | ||
| I didn't know it was, but I knew I wanted it. | ||
| I put on the wig and the makeup, and I'm someone completely different. | ||
| I'm so pretty! | ||
| My drag name is Vanessa Shimmer, and she is just a force you cannot reckon with. | ||
| How do I parent a child that wants to do drag? | ||
| I never expected drag to be a part of our lives. | ||
| Oh my god, these are so cute! | ||
| These are problems I never thought I had to prepare for. | ||
| What I love about drag is the glitz and the glam. | ||
| My name is Noah and I'm transgender. | ||
| Have you talked to mom and dad about your picture? | ||
| What do you think of taking those photos down? | ||
| The constant reminder that I had to pretend I was a boy. | ||
| Do you think a mom would ever want to watch me do drag? | ||
| How do I explain this to my child that she doesn't fully accept Nobella? | ||
| Making friends has been a hard thing for me to do. | ||
| When I'm becoming Nemo, I become more confident. | ||
| Let me make sure you are appropriately fluffed. | ||
| This transition has been difficult for them, but they try, and that's all you can ask for. | ||
| It's important for kids to understand that they're not alone. | ||
| So my mom started Drag Utah. | ||
| Kids and their families are coming from all over the country where we get to be our true selves. | ||
| Oh God. | ||
| This is happening. | ||
|

|
It's Vanessa Shimmer! | |
| This is a place of love and support because we need that in this world. | ||
| This is me and you better like it. | ||
| Let's talk about some of the people involved in this sort of commission. | ||
| According to The Tennessean, there's a woman on this list named Lori Cardoza Moore. | ||
| And part of her history, she stopped, you know, tried to stop the construction of a mosque. | ||
| She spread false information about the election. | ||
| She seems to be a sort of a MAGA Trump person. | ||
| And very quickly to each of you, Sharon K. Edwards, does this feel to you like the attempt, as the representative said, I do. | ||
| I do see that that is an attempt. | ||
| I would also say that it's twofold. | ||
| particular right-wing ideology instead? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I do see that that is an attempt. | |
| I would also say that it's twofold. | ||
| Perhaps an attempt to not only indoctrinate people and to limit the information that they receive and to skew history, to rewrite history, but also to break public schools. | ||
| There's a whole layer of representative Clements. | ||
| Thank you, by the way, for what you said about librarians and that. | ||
| That was so sweet. | ||
| He could speak more to this, but there's a whole thing in Tennessee right now with charter schools and public schools being We're going to start. | ||
| We've got so much to get to today, this afternoon, the next two hours, but we're going to get to, and by the way, it's Friday, 29 April, the Year of the Lord 2022. | ||
| It's the end of the first quarter. | ||
| Drudge lead, the Mac Daddy on Drudge is the worst month since 2008 for the stock market. | ||
| Called here first by Dr. Peter Navarro and Steve Cortez. | ||
| Although I do take pride in I got ahead of those guys in the first month of contraction. | ||
| Cortez is my wingman for the first hour and we're gonna talk a lot of economics when I fit it in Steve Thank you so much for joining us when I get to your chalk talks everything about the economy Everything about the geopolitics of the economy the economics of geopolitics But I know you're a proud member of the Volunteer State now a citizen of the Volunteer State and I want to bring in Michael Patrick Leahy and Michael Patrick Leahy, we had the speaker on as the first guest to start the week. | ||
| I think it was on Monday. | ||
| And we're going to end the week talking about Tennessee's legislature. | ||
| What what is going on with Tennessee? | ||
| Just passed another amazing bill. | ||
| Walk us through it. | ||
| Assembly ended its regular session yesterday, and one of the last bills that they passed was a very modest bill. | ||
| It passed the conference committee Uh, version of the bill passed in the House 60 to 25. | ||
| It was virtually unanimous in the state Senate. | ||
| And this particular bill added a, uh, two people to the textbook commission, two librarians appointed one by the speaker, one by the Lieutenant governor who would review, uh, books for libraries in K-12 public schools. | ||
| And the idea is to, uh, to not have books that promote the woke agenda and a very small, modest little effort, but they passed. | ||
| Very handily. | ||
| Why is the mainstream media, last night, Julian Reed, everybody, it's book-burning, we're back to the early days of the Nazi Party, that this is a suppression, it's all hate-mongering, and we're signaling people out. | ||
| Does this legislation have anything to do with that? | ||
| Nothing to do with that. | ||
| You know, the public schools here in Tennessee and across the country, K-12 public schools, have been on a downward slide For a couple of years, well, a couple of decades, but a couple of years since the COVID pandemic, the test scores are way, way down and the establishment left-wing liberal teachers union are impeding any progress. | ||
| They are, however, promoting woke ideology at every opportunity. | ||
| You know, the Tennessee General Assembly last year passed a bill that prohibited the teaching of 14 tenets of critical race theory. | ||
| Well, they passed it. | ||
| But the teachers, as you've seen some undercover video reports from Accuracy in Media and other outlets, they're not paying any attention to it. | ||
| And the administrators are pushing that in the schools. | ||
| And so this bill that passed very handily yesterday was just a very modest pushback against that so that all of this woke curriculum and all these woke books and all this promotion of Transgenderism and drag queen promotion is not available in these elementary school libraries around the state. | ||
| They're groomers. | ||
| They're grooming people. | ||
| Let's just talk about what it is, grooming. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| I don't care if they get upset about it. | ||
| This is outrageous. | ||
| To take the innocence of young children away from this. | ||
| There shouldn't be any discussion of any topic like that for young children. | ||
| The Star News Network's on fire. | ||
| How did people get to it, sir? | ||
| Go to thestarnewsnetwork.com, thestarnewsnetwork.com, Steve, and every time we're on War Room, our traffic spikes up dramatically. | ||
| Thank you. | ||
| Thank you, Steve Bennett. | ||
| Well, that's that's the purpose of it. | ||
| Our audience loves it. | ||
| Go to Star News Network. | ||
| They get all the 11 papers, the 11 sites of all these key battleground states. | ||
| Amazing information every day up there. | ||
| I really want to thank you for the work you're doing, Michael Patrick Leahy. | ||
| And particularly, I love the folks in the Tennessee legislature. | ||
| That is a model for the rest of the nation. | ||
| It is MAGA prime. | ||
| So, Michael Patrick Leahy, thank you so much. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| Cortez, I want to go, we opened with, I think it was Discovery Network, and you got, you know, you got Ron DeSantis has gone full beast mode on Disney, and you had, you know, all these guys are, the talking heads are saying, oh this is not really, the Republicans are really, deregulation and tax cuts. | ||
| They don't quite understand the MAGA movement. | ||
| Those days are over, are they not, Steve Cortez? | ||
| No, 100%. | ||
| Look, the MAGA movement is about combining cultural conservatism with economic populist nationalism. | ||
| That is the winning formula. | ||
| It's the winning policy formula as well as political formula for elections. | ||
| And the Republican Party is no longer a party of just corporate boardrooms or country clubs. | ||
| It is a party of working-class patriots who insist on reclaiming our country and who recognize what time it is in America and recognize that we're in the midst of a culture war. | ||
| When you have major corporations, Steve, Putting out that kind of toxic garbage, sexualizing young children, and celebrating it for entertainment purposes. | ||
| The reality must hit every honest patriot out there that we are in the middle of a culture war. | ||
| A culture war that we have largely been losing previously, but now that we're waking up and now that we're realizing that we do indeed have power when we choose to use it wisely, as Governor DeSantis has, as the Tennessee Legislature has, Then we start reclaiming our society. | ||
| We start protecting our children. | ||
| And I want to say, Steve, to your point, look, anyone who wants to talk about sexual matters to someone else's child is a sicko. | ||
| You are a sicko and a groomer if you want to do that. | ||
| You're a pervert and there's no other way. | ||
| We should not sugarcoat it. | ||
| We shouldn't dance around this topic. | ||
| And yet This is a systemic effort from big corporations, from big media in this country. | ||
| And media, Donald Trump was right, media is indeed the enemy of the people. | ||
| More proof of it in that despicable tape that you showed us today from Discovery. | ||
| But it's also coming from the public education monopoly, from government schools, and particularly from the teachers' unions. | ||
| They're really trying to teach kids two main things in terms of indoctrination. | ||
| Number one, they're trying to teach them to hate America. | ||
| They're trying to get them to believe that America is a poisoned place, and that it was poisoned from its inception, that it's systemically racist, that it's unjust, etc. | ||
| And then the second thing is, Um, they're trying to indoctrinate them with a sexualization at extremely young ages that is totally inappropriate and totally out of bounds for anybody to discuss if they're not the parents of these young children. | ||
| Yeah, I want to add a third to that. | ||
| Is that your parents, and if you look at the Disney Channel, the parents are never around, the kids are, that your parents Aren't really involved in the process of raising sure that your parents are not the people that you honor and look up member Society's always been based upon Not not ancestor worship, but understanding and respecting your elders Respecting those that came before you respecting your parents and honoring your parents and everybody goes to teen teenage years when you rebel but honor your parents the corporate purpose here is | ||
| It's quite evident. | ||
| What they're trying to do is take the parents out of the equation. | ||
| You saw Biden yesterday. | ||
| The parents have nothing to do with it. | ||
| It does not take a village to raise a child. | ||
| Hillary Clinton is wrong in that. | ||
| It's one of the reasons she's not President of the United States. | ||
| And Steve Cortez and Steve Bannon had a tiny piece to do with that. | ||
| And every night before we go to bed, we can sit there and say, we did our job, right? | ||
| Because it doesn't take a village. | ||
| It takes two Parents to raise children, okay? | ||
| Make a valid point here, too. | ||
| For sure, that media, big business, teachers unions, the education monopoly, government schools, they are, you're right, they're also trying to supplant parents I would say specifically fathers. | ||
| I mean, they're trying to supplant both parents, but they are particularly gunning for fathers. | ||
| And as an example, look at how fathers are portrayed in the culture today, in the mass media. | ||
| If they are shown at all, they're shown as buffoons, you know, or as a Homer Simpson-type character, who, by the way, is hilarious, but that has become the norm for a father figure in entertainment. | ||
| And it's something that the left, unfortunately, though, has done quite skillfully in recent decades. | ||
| We are awakening to that reality, thank goodness. | ||
| Patriots out there, deplorables, good people all over the country are becoming incredibly animated. | ||
| A lot of them watching shows like yours, by the way, and this really has become in many ways the epicenter as far as the educational outreach, the programming to convey needed information to the deplorables. | ||
| War Room is really the gathering place, the digital gathering place. | ||
| for the deplorables to arm them with this kind of information so that they're well informed enough to act and so that they have the motivation and the courage to go and act. So we are taking our country back. Moves like this one by the Tennessee legislature. Steve, let me just say it is the most gangster legislature in America. It's one of the reasons I live here now in a volunteer state. | ||
| This legislature would, they were the first to show the country how to do redistricting and then I'm glad that Florida followed their example. | ||
| But when it comes to a state house, nobody beats Tennessee, in my opinion. | ||
| There are some other good red states out there, but as far as the legislature goes, this one is the best. | ||
| The rest of the country should study and follow what is going on in the state capital of Tennessee. | ||
| Do I have time for the Chalk Talk? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's hit it. | |
| Let's play the Chalk Talk. | ||
| Patriots, Joe Biden's economic misery intensifies. | ||
| We learned a lot more in the data out this week. | ||
| For a look at those numbers, let's get to a Chalk Talk brought to you by Getter. | ||
| This week, we found out that the gross domestic product, which is essentially the revenue number for the country, the United States, it went negative. | ||
| We are receding right now in growth. | ||
| Way below Wall Street and economists' expectations, it came in at minus 1.4% for the first quarter as the economy is ravaged by Biden's inflation. | ||
| Not too surprisingly, stocks have been really taking it on the chin lately, and the Nasdaq, for the month of April, down 13% in one single month. | ||
| That is the worst monthly performance since the worst, darkest days of the credit crisis in 2008. | ||
| Now, with all this economic calamity going on, what is Washington, D.C. | ||
|
unidentified
|
doing? | |
| The Biden White House, along with the Washington political establishment, sending $33 billion to Ukraine. | ||
| These are the perverted priorities of the Washington ruling class establishment. | ||
| I wonder if Real America's Voice and the folks in Denver could put up the numbers I need and maybe if you've got some time today, and it's going to be free, blow a call in to your senator or your congressman and tell them under no circumstances is one red cent of our children's money to go to Ukraine until the following conditions are met. | ||
| These are the conditions precedent We say in deals. | ||
| Number one, all those oligarchs in Ukraine are stripped of all their wealth. | ||
| From their yachts in Monaco, to all their bank accounts, to all their property in Belgravia, in the West End of London, all of it. | ||
| You're hitting the Russian oligarchs, hit them more, but all those oligarchs in Ukraine who are the most corrupt on earth, strip it all. | ||
| Then Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, everybody living off behind the shield of the young men and women of America and the American taxpayer, you pony up for the rest. | ||
| After you've paid your $33 billion, Then come back to us. | ||
| We're open for a conversation. | ||
| And that's it. | ||
| We want the 33 billion at the southern border of the United States of America. | ||
| That's in the vital national interest of this country. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Omar in Pakistan and in Kashmir. | ||
| Next in the War Room. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ilhan Omar peddles pro-Pakistani, anti-India propaganda on the regular and has been doing so for a while now. | |
| Since getting elected to the U.S. | ||
| House of Representatives, which is the lower house of the U.S. | ||
| Congress in 2016, Ilhan Omar has consistently brought up the issue of Kashmir with a pro-Pakistan stance to justify why the USA should intervene. | ||
| Omar has also peddled fake propaganda about alleged attacks on Muslims and falsely blamed PM Narendra Modi for Muslims in India facing atrocities at the hands of Hindus. | ||
| The main problem is not that Ilhan Omar is factually incorrect and uses no objectivity in her statements and claims. | ||
| The main problem is that Ilhan Omar is an official representative for the state of Minnesota in the USA. | ||
| Instead of worrying about local issues and taking care of the people she was voted to take care of, it seems that Ilhan Omar is instead busy peddling a dangerous and false anti-India agenda. | ||
| The worrying part is that Ilhan Omar defends radical Islam, extremism and terrorism no matter how horrific it is. | ||
| In 2019, Ilhan Omar defended the horrific September 11th Terrorist attacks in the USA, which was a series of airline hijackings and suicide attacks committed in 2001 by 19 militants connected with Islamist extremist group Al Qaeda. | ||
| This was by far the deadliest terror attack on American soil in U.S. | ||
| history, killing over 2,700 innocent American citizens. | ||
| Ilhan Omar casually referred to these attacks as, and I quote, some people doing something. | ||
| In addition to her radical views, the origins of Ilhan Omar are also controversial. | ||
| She came to the U.S. | ||
| at the age of 12 as a refugee fleeing from Somalia's civil war and became a U.S. | ||
| citizen five years later at age 17. | ||
| There are allegations against Omar by some people, including former President Donald Trump, that not only did Ilhan Omar enter the U.S. | ||
| illegally, but she married her biological brother to bypass the U.S. | ||
| immigration process. | ||
| One thing is clear from all of this. | ||
| Ilhan Omar is definitely not a fair representative of the people for which she was elected to represent. | ||
| Instead of contributing to the U.S. | ||
| House of Representatives and doing her job, which is taking care of her state and its people in Minnesota, Ilhan Omar is far too busy furthering a dangerous, pro-Pakistani, radical Islamic, and therefore a flat-out anti-India, anti-Hindu agenda. | ||
| Leave your thoughts below. | ||
| Until next time, this is Priyanka Deo signing off. | ||
| Namaste. | ||
| OK, this is television coming from our, I think, our most important ally now, not the United Kingdom, not even Japan, but India. | ||
| And it's called the Indo-Pacific Strategy. | ||
| Modi is a nationalist. | ||
| The Howdy Modi event here in the United States was one of the biggest, I think, the most intense President Trump ever had. | ||
| President Trump went to India. | ||
| They loved him. | ||
| India is central. | ||
| To our engagement with the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| Essential. | ||
| And right now with what's happening in Ukraine, what's happening with food, what's happening with energy, and the way this administration has misplayed it, we must make sure that our great ally in India understands where the United States is coming from. | ||
| And Omar, this is the number one story in India. | ||
| India's got 1.1 billion people. | ||
| They're an ally of the United States. | ||
| Ukraine is not an ally. | ||
| India is an ally. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| This is the number one story and nobody will talk about this here in the United States to protect her. | ||
| I want to bring in Mar Monaghan, Daniel Patrick Monaghan's daughter, and he was ambassador to India and one of the great living legends in politics in our country. | ||
| Mar, you know India, you're the leader, one of the leaders of the Free Tibet Movement. | ||
| You know more about the Chinese Communist Party than virtually anybody I know. | ||
| You know India like the back of your hand. | ||
| You love India and Tibet. | ||
| You and I have talked about this with others. | ||
| I want you to walk through how dangerous it is of what Omar's been doing. | ||
| I'll talk about the lack of coverage in a second, but I want to make sure people understand from you how dangerous this is of Omar in Pakistan and going up to Pakistani-controlled Kashmir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Ma'am? | |
| Well, it has been the number one news story in South Asian media, not just India, but also Pakistan, because she said that she was there on a private trip, but apparently it was obviously a CODEL, a congressional delegation, because Pakistan is going through a security crisis, a food crisis, an economic crisis. | ||
| The American Embassy is issuing alerts for American citizens and American officials not to go out without tracking devices because of bombs since the fall of Kabul. | ||
| It has had a catastrophic effect on the Pakistan economy. | ||
| And so while she was there, she went up to Pakistan, occupied Kashmir, P-O-K, which was partitioned in 1947 when India attained its independence. | ||
| And half was taken by Pakistan and the state of Kashmir and the Maharaja of Kashmir chose to be part of the Republic of India. | ||
| So it is a disputed territory. | ||
| And for her to go there and claim that India is committing genocide has enraged the Indian government, quite rightly, because she never referenced the genocide of the Kashmiri pundits that started in the late 1980s, Hindus, whose ancestral land was Kashmir. | ||
| Who are driven from their homeland in a campaign of terror. | ||
| They were butchered, slaughtered, driven from their homes, and they're refugees in their own country. | ||
| Furthermore, Omar has never condemned the Uyghur genocide committed by the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP. | ||
| And she's never spoken of the gang rapes and the sterilization of Uyghur women in the CCP's massive concentration camps in Xinjiang province, which has a border with Pakistan. | ||
| So it is very troubling. | ||
| And she's also gotten in trouble, not just with Indian media and Indian officials, but with Pakistani women, intellectuals and bloggers who are Muslim reformists, who want to reform Sharia law, and also have condemned her for not speaking about the women who are being sterilized and gang raped by the CCP in the Uyghur Muslim genocide. | ||
| I want to go back to something you said, and I want to make sure that you lay out your evidence, because she's been adamant, and Nancy Pelosi's been adamant, that this was a private trip. | ||
| And there's been some accusations that it was financed by Pakistani-Americans or, you know, a bunch of folks. | ||
| But you're saying she went on a congressional delegation to Kodale. | ||
| That means that, I think it was Assistant Secretary Price, who's the spokesperson over the State Department, Ned Price, Are you saying he lied? | ||
| Where do you get the evidence that she's actually on an official congressional code? | ||
| Because that's never been done in the history of our country. | ||
| We've never had an elected official go to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir or talk like this in Pakistan. | ||
| So what's your evidence that it's an official visit? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's just absolutely implausible to suggest that she went as a private citizen. | |
| How could she gain access to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir? | ||
| Without the support of the Pakistani government and without permission from the American Embassy in Islamabad. | ||
| And I've worked on CODEL's congressional delegation visits in India and Pakistan and some in Thailand. | ||
| And again, the security situation in Pakistan is so dangerous. | ||
| Just go on the American Embassy website in Islamabad and you'll see alerts for Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, all the major cities in Pakistan. | ||
| And so how could she get permission If it wasn't an official visit, the American embassy in Islamabad hasn't made a statement. | ||
| And furthermore, she had a meeting with Shahab Narif, who is the new prime minister of Pakistan. | ||
| She also met with the recently ousted prime minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan. | ||
| How did she get access to these high-level officials? | ||
| She also met with the foreign minister of Pakistan and other officials in the new government. | ||
| How is that possible without the American embassy making the arrangement? | ||
| I'd like to hear from the American ambassador to Pakistan. | ||
| Mara, we have said for years on this show and even before over at Breitbart that the two places that the tinderboxes in the world where the Third World War could actually start are up there in Northwest India, in Kashmir, and the South China Sea. | ||
| You're an expert in the CCP. | ||
| It was never Ukraine. | ||
| But these two are tinderboxes. | ||
| How dangerous it is for her to be up there at this time saying what she's saying, visiting who she's visiting, and with her attitude? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, it's extraordinarily provocative. | |
| Particularly since the catastrophic retreat from Kabul in August of 2021, where the Biden administration gave the Taliban $85 billion worth of American weaponry and Bagram Air Base. | ||
| And just last week, People's Liberation Army generals and Air Force jets were seen at Bagram Air Base. | ||
| And it is very, again, very close to Xinjiang province, which is part of the People's Republic of China. | ||
| And furthermore, India is also dealing with increased militarization of the Tibet port, but with People's Liberation Army Battalion now occupying the high ground of Asia, bearing down on the Indian subcontinent. | ||
| So our strategic partner, our ally, India, the world's largest democracy, Which has always wanted a close relationship with the United States, which is something my father worked very hard to do as ambassador and then as senator from New York. | ||
| India is now facing armed conflict on its eastern and western front. | ||
| On the eastern front from Chinese-occupied Tibet, and now on the western front from the Af-Pak alliance in Pakistan and Afghanistan, which is newly armed with a Taliban government that has been soaked with American weaponry. | ||
| In one of the greatest blunders in American diplomatic and military history. | ||
| And they're coming for Kashmir. | ||
| And India is now being flooded with videos of jihadists, mass jihadists, holding American weapons, saying, we are coming to liberate Kashmir's holy warrior. | ||
| So yes, this is a flashpoint, because India and China are the world's two most populous nations. | ||
| They're both nuclear-armed nations, as is Pakistan. | ||
| So this could spin out of control very, very quickly. | ||
| But of course, there's no mention of this in our corporate media. | ||
| All we get is beating the drums of war for Ukraine every night. | ||
| And they're completely ignoring the situation in Asia. | ||
| Mar, we gotta bounce. | ||
| I understand you're a columnist. | ||
| How do people get to you? | ||
| How do they find your writings? | ||
| How do they find everything you're doing for Tibet and writing about India? | ||

| Okay, before I get to Royce White, Cortez, you're a geostrategist, a strategist. | ||
| Walk me through what Mara Monaghan just told us and how important it is and how dangerous it is what Omar's doing. | ||
| Well, she's exactly correct in her analysis, and by the way, this is part of why we cannot fixate on a fight in Ukraine in which the United States does not have a vital U.S. | ||
| national interest, because we have very strategic, very vital national interests in India, and particularly as India pertains to China and that intense rivalry there. | ||
| So India is indeed a very strategic Very strong ally of the United States, unlike Ukraine, and this does demand our attention. | ||
| And what Ilhan Omar is doing is incredibly dangerous. | ||
| Now, I'm not surprised because it's Ilhan Omar. | ||
| You know, she is really, Steve, I view her as just the face, the personification of ingratitude. | ||
| Our country saved her from the squalor of a refugee camp in Africa to bring her to this country, and this is how she pays us back? | ||
| By constantly working against the interests of the United States. | ||
| And in this case, doing so on foreign soil with potentially disastrous consequences. | ||
| And by the way, regarding Ilhan Omar, I wish we had the kind of reporting that you played from that Indian media, that Indian reporter. | ||
| She was absolutely fantastic. | ||
| She packed fire and facts into two minutes. | ||
| And I'm glad that she brought up the marriage thing, by the way, because Ilhan Omar has never satisfactorily answered those allegations. | ||
| I don't know that she married her brother, but let me give you a quote from the Star Tribune, which is the local paper in Minneapolis. | ||
| Not a conservative paper by any stretch. | ||
| This is what they said when they exhaustively looked into that situation. | ||
| They said, quote, So they even say it's inconclusive because she has not satisfactorily answered. | ||
| And by the way, it's not just a matter that she broke the law. | ||
| If she broke immigration laws, then guess what? | ||
| Her own citizenship, her own naturalization can actually be revoked. | ||
| And in her case, because of her ingratitude, that would be a wonderful thing for this country. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| And this is dangerous. | ||
| Number one story in India. | ||
| The largest democracy in the world. | ||
| 1.1 billion people. | ||
| And obviously very close to the United States. | ||
| The number one story. | ||
| And they're going crazy over there about this thing. | ||
| Because they understand what it can lead to. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play the Royce White cold open right now. | ||
| Gary, just walk us through this. | ||

How steep of a decline are we talking about here? | |
| I mean, it is a big, big, big decline. | ||
| I mean, if you look, this is Gallup polling, approve of President Joe Biden's job as president. | ||
| Now look at this. | ||
| Just 38 percent of 18 to 29 year olds, 67 percent of black adults. | ||
| Look back to where we were last year, January to June of 2021. | ||
| It was 61 percent 18 to 29 year olds. | ||
| Black adults was 87%. | ||
| Look at the change. | ||
| Down 23 points among adults 18 to 29. | ||
| Down 20 points among black adults. | ||
| Those are huge jobs, Breonna. | ||
| And then what about black voters? | ||
| What does it show there? | ||
| This is the total and complete opposite. | ||
| So if we did not really see this change among young voters in their choice for Congress, look at black adults. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| Choice for House of Rep among black voters in April of 2022. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| You have this lead right here. | ||
| Of 62 points. | ||
| Now, you may say, oh my goodness gracious, 62 points a lead for Democrats among black voters. | ||
| That seems huge. | ||
| But look at where we were in the 2020 election. | ||
| Democrats won that group by 77 points. | ||
| So that is a drop, if I'm doing my math correctly, of 15 points. | ||
| This is a huge, huge drop among black voters. | ||
| And put this a little bit from where we were in the last, if we look back at all the elections, Over the last 22 years, Democrats have won black voters by 75 points or more in every single house election. | ||
| I pick up my pen there, it's not set. | ||
| In every single house election this century. | ||
| So the idea, if you go back and you see here that they're only up by 62 points, That is quite the drop from the elections that we've previously had this century for the House of Representatives. | ||
| And so, and then at the same time, you've got Republicans who've been really, especially online, trying to pull black voters over by doing something interesting, saying, look, we may not be your cup of tea on some of these issues, but hey, on the economy, were you better off three or four years ago, or are you better off now? | ||
| The algorithms are starting to serve up to black voters some very depressing, distressing news. | ||
| I don't think Democrats have responded online the way they need to. | ||
|

|
But it is working. | |
| It's beginning to work. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They are bleeding or siphoning, I guess, black voters. | |
| Day-to-day reality for black folks hasn't improved. | ||
| In fact, because of inflation and other things, it's gotten worse. | ||
| And so you're starting to see that disappointment factor set in. | ||
| Do you think it will change the voting patterns? | ||
| Well, listen, I think that it may well. | ||
| Also, don't forget, you have had a concerted effort on the part of conservatives to recast the Republican Party as the party of the multiracial working class. | ||

Steve Cortes, dude, I could hug you right now. | |
| It's working. | ||
| The economic populism, just hammering, hammering, hammering every day. | ||
| Music to my ears. | ||
| Give me a minute on that and we'll go to Royce White. | ||
| Yeah, absolutely. | ||
| Music to my ears. | ||
| And even CNN, even CNN now has to acknowledge this absolute groundswell. | ||
| And Steve, I want this to encourage the patriots out there because things are terrible in our country right now. | ||
| They are awful, particularly when it comes to the economy. | ||
| And it's likely to get worse before it gets better. | ||
| I don't want to sugarcoat it at all. | ||
| But I do also want to encourage the patriots out there that there is a groundswell in this country, that there is a reaction against the ruling class, there's a reaction against inflation, and that groundswell includes a lot of people that the Democratic Party formerly took for granted, formerly exploited, including young people, black Americans, and Hispanic American citizens. | ||
| This movement is young. | ||
| I want to encourage the people out there, particularly the committed deplorables, to recognize that this movement is young. | ||
| We are just getting started. | ||
| We are going to dominate American politics for decades because we are going to save this country from the madness, both on the cultural side as well as on the economic side. | ||
| We have the solutions, the America First solutions, to save this country and black and brown people are really rallying to that messaging and to that agenda. | ||
| It's only going to get better on the political side. | ||
| Well, I want to bring in Royce right now. | ||
| He's running against Omar up in Minneapolis. | ||
| Royce, the New York Post today, their heads are blowing up. | ||
| The Washington Post heads are blowing up. | ||
| Walk us through. | ||
| Is Van Jones right? | ||
| Is CNN right? | ||
| Do you feel a ground shift? | ||
| Do you feel the tectonic plate shift that African-Americans are least prepared to listen to the inclusive nationalism and populism of the new Republican Party, sir? | ||
| Well, absolutely. | ||
| I think the exodus is on. | ||
| There's no doubt about it. | ||
| You know, black people have been the calling card of identity politics for the Democrats and the liberal platform. | ||
| And make no mistake about it, also, they plan to use that control of black people. | ||
| That's a pilot. | ||
| That's a beta test that they want to use on everybody with identity politics. | ||
| But it comes with a huge predicate. | ||
| And the predicate is that they have to make good on the material promises. | ||
| That in their promotion of an anti-God, anti-spiritual platform, The only thing they have, the only leg they have to stand on is make good on all their material promises and they don't have the competence nor the creativity and the courage or even the, you know, the backbone to make good on any of those promises. | ||
| Royce, I want to ask you specifically about India TV. | ||
| Omar's trip is the number one topic in India and now in Pakistan. | ||
| It's not being reported anywhere, not even mainstream media, none of the media over here. | ||
| You're running against her. | ||
| What is your assessment of this situation, sir? | ||
| Well, I think India is probably our most strategic partner in the world right now, and we have to keep check on the CCP. | ||
| I think we're in a good old-fashioned jump ball. | ||
| You know, the nationalists, the free people of the world, China, Russia, and the globalists. | ||
| And I think the globalists have a strategic interest there in Kashmir, and I think that's what Ilhan Omar is doing there. | ||
| I'm not so sold that her or any of these Arab-slash-Muslim leaders are really invested in any of these geopolitical matters from an Islamic standpoint. | ||
| I'm just not buying it. | ||
| My call would be for Ilhan to take off the hijab. | ||
| Because she in no way identifies or resembles, or her platform doesn't resemble, any traditional Muslim faith. | ||
| Because the democratic platform doesn't resemble any traditional faith in any Abrahamic religion, that be it Judaism, Christianity, or Islam. | ||
| Royce, this fight, you're running in a primary. | ||
| It's very tough. | ||
| You're also looking forward to running against her in a general election. | ||
| I don't think the primary is until August. | ||
| How do people find out more about you? | ||
| How do they find out more about your campaign? | ||
| Because every day you're seeing a story. | ||
| Today's in the New York Post. | ||
| We've got that up everywhere. | ||
| Captain Ben has put it on our platform. | ||
| The Washington Post, a huge profile yesterday. | ||
| How can people find out more about you and more about specifically your campaign? | ||
| RoyceWhite.us, that's our campaign website. | ||
| You can also follow me on Getter and my Substack as well. | ||
| I have a response up to the Washington Post that just was published recently. | ||
| These responses are coming a little hot. | ||
| We're going to put that up also, sir. | ||
| Royce White, thank you so much for joining us today. | ||
| Godspeed. | ||
| First off, Cortez, give me your assessment of the Royce Whites of the world. | ||
| Listen, it's fantastic that he is challenging Ilhan Omar. | ||
| We need a lot of great candidates, and thankfully we do have a lot of great candidates like that around the country. | ||
| But look, the dynamic is changing, and to your point too, particularly when it comes to black voters, I think if we talk to them about an effective message on what's going on at the southern border, and how totally unjust that situation is compared to what we're not doing, for the inner cities of the United States. | ||
| In other words, that we're inviting in and incentivizing in two million illegals last year alone, probably far more than that this year, at the same time that real wages are crashing for working class Americans, including the vast proponents of black Americans. | ||
| I think if we message correctly on that and present to them that dichotomy, that incredible contrast of how generously we are treating non-citizens and inviting them to trespass into our country, | ||
| While at the same time, so many black Americans are trying to deal with such economic angst and anxiety, and living in neighborhoods that are becoming increasingly unsafe, then we can become, I think, a compelling, we can offer a compelling value proposition as a political movement to black Americans, brown Americans, and to the working class on the whole. | ||
| It is happening, Steve, and it's only going to accelerate into this year. | ||
| Look, inflation, the number one issue, I think, for all working-class people, whatever color they are, whatever ethnicity, it's inflation. | ||
| Inflation is just crushing the aspirational young in this country. | ||
| It's crushing working-class blacks and Hispanics. | ||
| We got more data out just today, another 40-year high. | ||
| We're on every single metric possible. | ||
| We are at 40-year highs on inflation. | ||
| It is out of control, and it is worsening. | ||
| It was never transitory. | ||
| That was always a lie. | ||
| It's terrible, and unfortunately, it is worsening right now, and the answer from the ruling class is to send $33 billion to Ukraine, while Americans are suffering just to pay for the necessities here at home. | ||
| Okay, we've got Lou Dobbs coming up. | ||
| Let's go ahead and start the—I want to hear Morning Joe, Morning Mika going after him. | ||
| Let's go ahead and let her rip us, and take us a commercial break. | ||
| Let's hit it. | ||
| And I just, I got sent this National Review piece by Kevin Williamson. | ||
| If Kevin Williamson wrote it, you know it's good. | ||
| And so this is what Kevin says, and it fits very well into the theme. | ||
| And it's called, Lou Dobbs, Who Reads N.R.? | ||
| And this is what the great Kevin D. Williamson writes. | ||
| In response to my recent piece on howling moonbat Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ludob sneers! | ||
| Who reads NR? | ||
| Well, Lou, since you raised the question, I'll answer it. | ||
| You do. | ||
| We both know this. | ||
| We know this because we used to discuss it often back when you had a Fox Business Show and I was a frequent guest on it at your invitation. | ||
| Let's remember, never at my request, I don't- Williamson writes, in response to my recent piece on howling moonbat Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lou Dobbs sneers. | ||
| Who reads NR? | ||
| Well, Lou, since you raised the question, I'll answer it. | ||
| You do. | ||
| We both know this. | ||
| We know this because we used to discuss it often back when you had a Fox Business Show and I was a frequent guest on it at your invitation. | ||
| Let's remember, never at my request. | ||
| I don't think your memory is failing you, Lou. | ||
| I think the problem is that you are a coward. | ||
| You were so terrified of your audience that you're willing to let them tell them anything they want to hear, follow them down any ridiculous rabbit hole, pretend to be something that you aren't. | ||
| You're a guy who went to Harvard and lives on an equestrian estate in New Jersey, Lou! | ||
| It's stunning to me that he decided to pick on this helpless old fella sitting out here on the farm in northwest Jersey, undisclosed location. | ||
| But I'll take a mental exam if he'd like, a cognitive test, and we can just kind of rack up the results. | ||
| We'll do a competition. | ||
| But here's why it happened, and I actually think, I don't know if you said it in your podcast, you said it on here. | ||
| Who reads National Review? | ||
| The point is, the National Review has always been the praetorian guard for the corporatist donor class, the blue blazer and khaki in the Republican Party. | ||
| And you weren't just talking about Marjorie Taylor Greene, you've been after those guys for years. | ||
| And the downturn in the economy we just saw, as we said, 2.4% of that was driven by the trade deficit. | ||
| That you have been hammering and hammering and hammering for decades. | ||
| Why do you go after the National Review? | ||
| Let's get to the heart of, not the smears and the attacks, but what the reality. | ||
| Why does Lou Jobs say, who cares of who reads the National Review, sir? | ||
| Those are people who are relevant to the direction of this country. | ||
| They are a problem. | ||
| They're no part of the solution. | ||
| And they're a bunch of effete, elites, globalist all, libertarians many. | ||
| And I really am not interested in irresponsibility and political philosophy, nor am I interested in centralized command authority and authoritarianism. | ||
| which the corporatists represent. So that's why they have a circulation of probably what 40, 50,000? | ||
| It's a vanity publication and they have frankly between you and me, Steve, I don't want to say this out loud, they have no reason to be vain about anything. Their intellectual, their original thinking is minute. | ||
| And their contributions to the public debate are zero. | ||
| Think of the last thing that the National Review put forward. | ||
| Oh, I remember. | ||
| Never Trumpism. | ||
| How did that work out for them? | ||
| You know, the Weekly Standard is blown up, and with it, Bill Kristol. | ||
| Vanity Publications are having a bit of a struggle now, don't you think? | ||
| Lou, you've been at the forefront for 20, 30, 40 years talking about trade and how important trade is. | ||
| Seeing the numbers that just came out. | ||
| I mean, the morning megan doesn't matter. | ||
| Morning Joe, it's the conventional wisdom. | ||
| Always wrong. | ||
| And they're sitting there going, this is unprecedented, unexpected. | ||
| No, it's not unexpected, Joe. | ||
| If you and the clowns that run that show watch War Room, we've talked about this for Months and months and months it was coming. | ||
| Lou, how serious a situation we have here? | ||
| You just heard Cortez say it hit another 40-year high today on inflation. | ||
| Stock market worst month since 2008. | ||
| Lou, how big a jam do we have ourselves in right now, sir? | ||
| It's a big jam, and it's getting worse, as you know. | ||
| But to everyone, I want to put this in some context. | ||
| We now are moving toward a confluence of really difficult issues, and I think some wrong-headed policy prospects are certainly in view. | ||
| Not only are we looking at inflation that is without question runaway inflation now, and it is rising to hyperinflation levels, we're looking at a good part of the market, particularly in technology that is in bear market territory. | ||
| We are looking at a Wall Street cadre that is trying to move investor money toward China rather than to the U.S. | ||
| in terms of capital investment, in terms of building out infrastructure with private money. | ||
| It's a very difficult time because we really have a disequilibrium within the market. | ||
| I'm talking about the capital markets. | ||
| The yields on the Treasuries are indicating flashing red lights right now. | ||
| We have also, though, a balance a little bit that's been restored in terms of the inverted yield curve. | ||
| But this coming week, we're going to hear from the Federal Reserve. | ||
| Jerome Powell, the Chairman of the Fed, is going to have another opportunity to screw things up. | ||
| We do have an advantage over the last time he screwed things up, and that is at least he's following the markets, the capital markets, rather than trying to lead them. | ||
| I hope that he has the sense to forestall any hike at this point, and I know that a lot of the Wall Street crowd that is out there may just have a fit about that. | ||
| But this is not the time when we have this much uncertainty, this many cross-currents in our economy and our markets, To start playing central banker, because they really don't have yet the experience with that institution, this current leadership team, to take it on, in my judgment. | ||
| And certainly the commercial bankers aren't going to be of much help in looking for counsel. | ||
| So I would ask that they forestall any move. | ||
| They're talking about doing a half point, and that would be, I think, a terrible signal, and I think it would have perhaps Well, it would be, in my opinion, it would be a trigger to the onset of recession. | ||
| And that is something we do not need at this point. | ||
| Lou, how do people, particularly the Morning Joe crowd, Morning Mika, how do they get to, and Kevin Williamson, how do they get to your podcast, how do they get to all your content, brother? | ||
| Well, you know, I was just thinking, maybe they'd like to, well, anyway, I'll just give you the direct answer, the big snide and comparative in it. | ||
| The fact is our little podcast is The Great America Show. | ||
| It's with me helping out and we're at every podcast platform there is and we are very thankful for the audience we have and would invite all of Mika and Joe's audience to come over and join us. All 50,000. All 50,000 readers of The Nature Review and the Morning Show. Right now they're both vanity | ||
| publications, if you will. And I just, I'm remarked, I find it just remarkable that they would be so arrogant and go after a helpless old fellow like me sitting on his farm, patting on the horses and watching the eagles fly. | ||
| And then, and then, after all of that, we would find out that they don't have an audience. | ||
| They've never approached Fox and Friends, for example. | ||
| It's just, it's a vanity publication. | ||
| Lou Dobbs, thank you for joining us. | ||
| Now your lovely bride can take you out. | ||
| You can go daughter around the estate. |
