Well, we are certainly looking at that possibility, Hallie. | |
| In fact, a new opinion poll from Yahoo and Maru Public Opinion suggests that for the majority of Americans, we are already at the price where they would change their plans. | ||
| 66% of people said that if it stays somewhere between $4.12 and $4.35 a gallon, well, we are pretty much there right now. | ||
| The rest of the country essentially says that for them it would take getting to a $5 per gallon price as a national average for them to change their hands. | ||
| I'm standing in a place right now where it's six dollars a gallon and for anyone pulling a let's say a truck with which they run something like a yard maintenance business in here and trying to fill it up that's a hundred dollars out of their pocket like that. | ||
| If you have somebody commuting a hundred miles a day in a job like that they're blowing so much money that their inflation rate is entirely different from the portion of the country that gets to work from home. | ||
| We in fact spoke to people at a food bank here in the Bay Area who said that many cars More owning people who come to the food bank for a weekly haul of food are walking in and out in order to save the money that they would normally spend on gas. | ||
| The effect here across the country and around the world on not just the people who drive cars, but if you wear anything made out of plastic, if that thing was manufactured or shipped anywhere, all of those prices are affected by fuel and that's what we're seeing around the world here, Alec. | ||
| Ron and Sana, you know, oil prices are down a little bit, I think, this week. | ||
| Obviously, it takes a lot longer to see that impact on gas prices. | ||
| We know that. | ||
| All of this, though, the sort of uncertainty of what's happening overseas, the uncertainty of what's happening, for example, in China with COVID has taken its toll on the markets. | ||
| We're a couple of minutes here, 15 or so, from trading, and you can see the Dow down something like 640 points, the S&P and the NASDAQ down also, everybody in the red. | ||
| What's going on, Ron? | ||
| Well, there is this fear of the risk of recession as the Federal Reserve maintains its stance that it's going to raise interest rates until it beats back inflation, part of which is fueled by these rising energy costs that we're talking about, part of which still is fueled by the supply chain disruptions as China remains locked down. | ||
| And of course, the war in Russia, in Ukraine, I should say, is disrupting energy supplies as well. | ||
| So the Fed's been pretty Insistent upon raising rates and saying they will raise rates until inflation falls. | ||
| And now you're starting to get the markets very, very nervous that that could lead to recession. | ||
| News to get into from Capitol Hill, where a deal has apparently been reached to separate COVID funding from President Biden's new multi-billion dollar aid request for Ukraine. | ||
| I want to bring in Sahil Kapoor, who is with us now from the Hill. | ||
| So, Sahil, this is just into us now. | ||
| And this is a move that I think had been... Some folks on the Hill had wanted to see. | ||
| Talk us through it. | ||
| That's right, Hallie. | ||
| Congress appears to have just cleared a path to passage for President Biden's massive Ukraine aid package. | ||
| Now recall, this had been jammed up over the last couple of weeks because congressional leaders wanted to attach COVID relief funding, which Republicans in the Senate had promised to filibuster, over demands of an immigration amendment. | ||
| The entire package had been stalled, but now congressional sources tell our colleagues, Frank Thorpe and Julie Serkin, that the president has communicated to congressional leaders that he wants the Ukraine package to pass separately, that would clear a path that has broad bipartisan support in the House, where it's likely to originate, as well as the Senate. | ||
| And the second bit of news, it has grown. | ||
| It was initially $33 billion. | ||
| It is now nearly $40 billion with the increases coming on about $3.5 billion for food aid and another $3.5 billion for additional drawdown authority for military equipment, a major piece of President Biden's domestic ask of Congress right now. | ||
| Has a path forward as a result of this decision by the president. | ||
| What remains in the lurch is COVID relief. | ||
| That $10 billion bipartisan package. | ||
| Senate Republicans are still demanding that immigration vote. | ||
| Democrats don't want to grant it to them. | ||
| Okay, it's Monday, 9 May, the Year of the Lord 2022. | ||
| You're in the War Room for our evening show. | ||
| We're honored to have on here from Arkansas, Jake Beckett. | ||
| Jake, thank you very much for joining us. | ||
| I want your thoughts first. | ||
| You're running in a very tough primary. | ||
| That was featured on the Hill newspaper today as one of the kind of under the radar scope right now, but most important primaries are being run because there's an incumbent that's in trouble. | ||
| He's below 50%. | ||
| In fact, he's significantly below 50% as far as the polling goes. | ||
| And they said it hasn't really gotten national attention. | ||
| You're someone we've had on The War Room a number of times. | ||
| Jake, I've just got to ask you. | ||
| You're a former Army officer. | ||
| You served your country. | ||
| Give us your sense of what folks in Arkansas think about the economy overall and a $33 billion bailout of Ukrainian oligarchs. | ||
| Oligarchs are not putting any money. | ||
| Europe's not putting any money. | ||
| This is now not $33 billion, Jake, but $40 billion for just five months. | ||
| Ladies and gentlemen, coming off of the 20 years of the $9 trillion burned in Iraq and Afghanistan, we've started it all over again with no allies coming to the aid. | ||
| Europe's not throwing any money. | ||
| The oligarchs over there are making money, and they're laughing at you. | ||
| They're laughing at the American people. | ||
| It's the third most corrupt country on the face of the earth. | ||
| These guys have had the gall to raise this another $7 billion. | ||
| They haven't put a penny into the southern border. | ||
| People can't afford groceries, are having to change their habits, change what they do, how they live their lives because of runaway inflation. | ||
| Can't put food on the table. | ||
| Southern border, there's an invasion. | ||
| No military down there, no money down there, no billions of dollars in a dispute on the Russian-speaking eastern border of Ukraine. | ||
| $40 billion for five months. | ||
| This is starting the Iraq situation all over again. | ||
| Jake Beckett, tell us your thoughts. | ||
| Well, Steve, you're exactly right. | ||
| And first of all, on this race here in Arkansas, it's getting national attention now because, as you said, an independent poll just showed me and the incumbent, Senator Bozeman, in a runoff. | ||
| He knows, I know, everyone knows that if this race goes to a runoff, I'm going to win. | ||
| And so he's doing everything he can his campaign and there's there's at least three or four I lose count of national super PACs in Arkansas right now that are running non-stop attack ads against me because they know that I'm the America first candidate in this race and that look I'm gonna go up there and swing the sword I'll be a conservative warrior an America first warrior not part of the DC Uniparty and on Ukraine you're right there seems to be no amount of money | ||
| That the DC Uniparty will say no to when it comes to foreign aid. | ||
| When I talk to people in Arkansas, all over the state, they care about our territorial sovereignty, our national sovereignty, not the bloodlands in Eastern Europe. | ||
| They care about America. | ||
| You were exactly right earlier on your show to point out the duplicity America last people like Mark Esper, who, you know, when President Trump and people in his administration like Stephen Miller, you know, said they wanted to embark upon a muscular military operation to once and for all secure our southern border, interdict these evil Mexican drug cartels. | ||
| Apparently they couldn't do that because that would have been against some vague ephemeral notion of international law, and it would have, you know, upset some of these corrupt foreign governments like the Mexican government. | ||
| Like Ukraine, like Iraq or Afghanistan in the Middle East. | ||
| I'm sick and tired of that. | ||
| We have to secure our own southern border. | ||
| I mean, Steve, you know, I'm 33 years old. | ||
| The number one killer of people my age in this country and in Arkansas are drug overdoses. | ||
| I talk to county sheriffs all over the state of Arkansas every single week and they tell me it would astound the people of this state if they knew how much fentanyl ...was coming up I-30 right into Arkansas and that comes straight from the Mexican-U.S. | ||
| border directly because of these drug cartels. | ||
| That's what people in Arkansas care about. | ||
| They want to secure our borders, not the territorial sovereignty of war-torn states in Eastern Europe. | ||
| Jake, you've served your country, so I want to go to this for a second. | ||
| You know, Iraq and Afghanistan, and nobody can question the valor or the commitment of the troops and the people that went there. | ||
| I think 8,000 dead, 55,000 wounded, PTSD everywhere. | ||
| You've got, I think 22, Captain Bannon told me there's 22 suicides a day of veterans. | ||
| There is, many of our veterans are addicted to fentanyl. | ||
| Many are homeless. | ||
| There's never any money for them. | ||
| There's never any more money for the VA. | ||
| There's no money for that. | ||
| In fact, people have to do the charity like Luke's Wings and these other organizations to put the money up to fly people certain places or to build homes for the wounded. | ||
| The Wounded Warriors, they're all great. | ||
| But that also has to come from the deplorables after their tax dollars. | ||
| $9 trillion. | ||
| You served over there. | ||
| And now you see it all over again, the same cast of characters, the same defense contractors, the same lobbyists, the same bipartisan politician. | ||
| Now they're starting with $40 trillion. | ||
| I want everybody to just embrace this and internalize it. | ||
| $40 trillion. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| $40 trillion for five months. $40 trillion for five months and has broad bipartisan support, including, are you telling me the Senator, the sitting Senator from Arkansas supports this, Jake? Is that what you're telling me? Absolutely. He's given full-throated support to, you know, sending MIGs and all these weapons and munitions into this corrupt era area in Eastern Europe. I mean, you know, Steve, I mean, you're a student of history. | ||
| These are the bloodlands. | ||
| I mean, there are no, you know, clear lines between the good guys and the bad guys, you know, and you know, I'm not. | ||
| necessarily against helping our allies, but these people aren't our allies. | ||
| And we have our own problems at home. | ||
| I mean, we have a southern border that is totally wide open. | ||
| We have a litany of problems. | ||
| You were so correct to bring up the plight of American veterans. | ||
| And, you know, on your earlier, on that earlier segment from the news about the cost of it, you know, the rising inflation, you know, increases in gas prices and food prices. | ||
| My first thought, Steve, I think about the soldiers in my old platoon in the 101st Airborne Division. | ||
| I was a platoon leader of PL 101st. | ||
| I led a rifle platoon in the infantry, and I think about the guys who, I mean, you know, they're not making a lot of money. | ||
| And a lot of these guys, they have young families, they spend whatever money they can save, they send it back home to their parents and their grandparents, and they're getting annihilated. | ||
| They're the ones who are getting crushed. | ||
| It's working class people in this country, the new coalition that the Republican Party simply has to reach out to. | ||
| We have to capture these people because we have the message. | ||
| The America First message is a winning message and we can build a new coalition in this election cycle if we send people to Washington who can actually articulate that message. | ||
| It's a winning message, it's an attractive message, but we have to have leaders who can move the needle and rally others to our cause or it's going to be a lost cause. | ||
| The current senator down there is the definition of the swamp, okay? | ||
| He's one of McConnell's guys. | ||
| You've got these lobbyist-driven PACs that are hammering you. | ||
| Tell me what the priorities of the folks in Arkansas are right now in May of 2022 about their country. | ||
| Jake? | ||
| Yeah, they care about securing our southern border. | ||
| They care about election integrity. | ||
| They care about undoing the failed policies of the Biden administration. | ||
| And in particular, Steve, I meet people all over the state who are acutely aware and frankly scared of the unaccountable administrative state. | ||
| And I'm including the Department of Justice. | ||
| I mean, we're all seeing just how dangerous and how powerful and how unaccountable this fourth branch of government truly is. | ||
| And for my mind, if you don't realize that and if you're not willing to say it outright that you're going to Washington to gut, to destroy this unaccountable fourth branch of government, then you really don't know what time it is. | ||
| So, you know, I'm always going to represent the interests of the people of Arkansas first, the American people first. | ||
| You know, there's a lot of problems in the world right now, but we have to secure our own interests first. | ||
| We have to put American citizens above the citizens of Ukraine or Eastern Europe or Iraq or Afghanistan. | ||
| You know, those are secondary and tertiary concerns. | ||
| We have to put the concerns of American citizens first. | ||
| By the way, for my producer, I want to hold the Esper thing. | ||
| I want to do it when we come back from break. | ||
| Jake, I want to take a second. | ||
| We've got a minute or two. | ||
| I want people to hear your backstory about your service because you've got skin in the game. | ||
| You're not some guy in a think tank. | ||
| You're not some guy that's been a country lawyer. | ||
| You've actually got skin in the game. | ||
| Tell me about your service. | ||
| Yeah, I'm a 33-year-old guy with a sports background and an athletic background. | ||
| I played college and professional football for the Arkansas Razorbacks and the New England Patriots. | ||
| You know, it's a very small part of that incredible dynasty in New England. | ||
| And then, you know, I felt the call to serve our country in the military. | ||
| I enlisted in the Army, went through Ranger school, volunteered for the infantry. | ||
| You know, I wanted to be with the grunts, Steve. | ||
| I wanted to be where the fight is. | ||
| You know, I led a rifle platoon with 101st Airborne Division. | ||
| And, you know, when I came home from Iraq, you know, I saw that the real fight of our time, the fight of our generation is going to be political. | ||
| It's gonna be right here. | ||
| It's gonna be domestic and we've got to have great leaders in our country if we're gonna turn this thing around So, you know once again, I'm going to where the fight is and that's why I'm running for US Senate Okay, we're going to take a short break, and when we get back, we're going to play a clip from Mark Esper, last night on 60 Minutes. | ||
| Boris and I went through it this morning, and it's very disturbing, and particularly disturbing is the fact, to me, that it actually, in the second part of it, walks through a coup that General Milley and Esper decided that they would have against President Trump. | ||
| He was Commander-in-Chief at the time, and they actually filmed the interview at West Point. | ||
| The sacred ground of West Point. | ||
| The superintendent either read the book and thought it was okay to do that or he didn't read the book. | ||
| Okay, we've got to find out which one. | ||
| We're going to play that for Jake Beckett. | ||
| Also show you how Jake is getting the old-fashioned, old-timey politics of Arkansas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You're not going to believe what you're about to hear next in the war room. | |
| Spread the word all through Hong Kong. | ||
| We will fight till they're all gone. | ||
| We rejoice when there's no more. | ||
| Let's take down the C.C.P. | ||
| It's important to the Republic, the American people, that they understand what was going on in this very consequential period. | ||
| The last year of the Trump administration, and to tell the story about things we prevented, really bad things, dangerous things, that could have taken the country in a dark direction. | ||
| What kind of terrible things did you prevent? | ||
| At various times, during certainly the last year of the administration. | ||
| You have folks in the White House who are proposing to take military action against Venezuela, to strike Iran. | ||
| At one point, somebody proposed we blockade Cuba. | ||
| These ideas would happen, it seemed, every few weeks. | ||
| Something like this would come up. | ||
| And we'd have to swat them down. | ||
| Whose we had to swat them down? | ||
| Well, mostly me. | ||
| I had good support from General Mark Milley. | ||
| Mark Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, ran the Army for over a year before finding themselves in charge at the Pentagon. | ||
| In order to deal with what he calls some of the crazy ideas coming from the White House, Esper and Milley came up with a system. | ||
| I come up with this idea, actually Mark Milley and I discuss it, what we call the four no's. | ||
| The four things we had to prevent from happening between then and the election. | ||
| And one was no strategic retreats, no unnecessary wars, no politicization of the military, and no misuse of the military. | ||
| And so as we went through the next five to six months, that became the metric by which we would measure things. | ||
| That's a metric, sir, that's going to get you to trial right after we take over in November, let me be blunt. | ||
| That's a coup right there, with you and Milley. | ||
| I want to go back to, I'll get to Jake in a second, but I want to make sure everybody that didn't catch on, I just saw what Liz Harrington, the President's Comm Director, just put up on Twitter, our beatdown on Esther this morning. | ||
| Remember, it said Venezuela, Iran, and Cuba. | ||
| Let me be blunt. | ||
| President Trump stopped a missile attack, a cruise missile attack on Iran at the last second that Bolton and Pompeo and these guys had gotten ahead of themselves. | ||
| It was non-proportional what happened. | ||
| And President Trump said, hang on, how many people have done this? | ||
| Oh, fine. | ||
| We're not going to do that. | ||
| It was Trump that stopped the missile attack on Iran. | ||
| That's public. | ||
| That's public record. | ||
| It was Trump that stopped that ridiculous Woody Allen bananas overthrow of the Maduro government that was Pompeo and Pence and Bolton. | ||
| Remember the day they tweeted out, Freedom Day, Liberation, Liberation, you know, first Bolton, then Pompeo, then Pence all in a row. | ||
| A clown show. | ||
| And the cameras cut, they were doing it live, CNN. | ||
| Had like five overweight guys in these army men green uniforms standing outside some base. | ||
| The thing was done in 30 minutes. | ||
| It was a joke. | ||
| You thought it was a comic opera. | ||
| That was Venezuela. | ||
| Stopped by Trump. | ||
| Stopped by Trump. | ||
| They try to force it on him. | ||
| He says, you guys, this is ridiculous. | ||
| It's not happening. | ||
| Stopped by Trump. | ||
| Iran stopped by Trump. | ||
| Venezuela stopped by Trump. | ||
| Cuba, blockade of Cuba. | ||
| Hey, I don't know. | ||
| I could be in for that. | ||
| Let's talk it through. | ||
| That's the worst. | ||
| And then you talk about the four no's. | ||
| Esper, would you elect a commander-in-chief of the armed forces? | ||
| Remember, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is not a combatant commander. | ||
| The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is the senior military advisor to a guy that is, wait for it, the President of the United States, Donald Trump. | ||
| Did he tell Trump? | ||
| Did they go to Trump and say, look, we've got a problem, we can't pull out of the 38th parallel, we don't want to do this, we don't want to do that? | ||
| That is a coup right there. | ||
| They decided that there wouldn't be a strategic retreat like in Afghanistan, which I fought for in the White House in the same group of lying scumbags that lied about everything, everything, everything, everything, and kept us in Iran from 17 all the way to 21. | ||
| Four more years, more dead, more 50 and 60 billion dollars a year that you're going to pay back and your kids are going to pay back. | ||
| That we just print money to do. | ||
| So it's another 200 billion dollars. | ||
| It's not for, it doesn't matter for them. | ||
| That's what Esper, Esper you're guilty of treason brother. | ||
| And let me be blunt, Pompeo and Urban and McCormick and that whole West Point Mafia should be ashamed of yourself. | ||
| West Point had this problem. | ||
| West Point had a big problem back in the Civil War. | ||
| Number one, they couldn't understand why all the guys who knew how to fight all went south and fought for the Confederacy. | ||
| But that wasn't the big problem. | ||
| The big problem was McClellan and these guys tried to have a coup, a military coup, on Lincoln. | ||
| They're talking about treason. | ||
| Treason, the great book by Bruce Catton starts the first chapter, there was treason in the air. | ||
| There was treason in the air. | ||
| Right with Second Manassas. | ||
| Second Manassas. | ||
| Same West Point. | ||
| Remember, West Point came very close to being shut down in the Civil War. | ||
| And you go up to West Point, right on the sacred plains of West Point right there, right off there, and you're going to get... Did the superintendent read the book? | ||
| And after he read the book, he said, fine, I think it'd be great if you came up here and did that to your alma mater. | ||
| Or did he not read the book and let him come up anyway and talk about treason? | ||
| This is going to be adjudicated after November. | ||
| This is going to be adjudicated. | ||
| What Esper did, what Millie did, what these guys did, hey, hate to say it, Pompeo, what Everything's in play. | ||
| Everything's in play. | ||
| This is something you can't blame on progressive Democrats, right? | ||
| Can't blame on the deep state. | ||
| I'm sure the administrative state's involved in it, but this is the appointees right there and experts in your book. | ||
| You and Bill Barr got a problem. | ||
| You took money and put it in print, okay? | ||
| You took a big advance to trash Trump, to try to stop Trump in 2024. | ||
| Now he's got to go work. | ||
| We're going to turn the guns back around on you, bro. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| That book's going to be a suppository. | ||
| Okay? | ||
| Jake Beckett, you're actually a former 101st Airborne. | ||
| You've served over there in harm's way. | ||
| How does this sit with you, sir? | ||
| Well, it makes me sick, Steve, and I agree with everything you just said. | ||
| Just a quick Esper story. | ||
| So, I graduated Ranger School in late 2018, and I was at Fort Benning. | ||
| You know, working out in a gym over there on the base, and Esper was there. | ||
| I think he was the Secretary of the Army at the time, and you know how, like, military gyms are. | ||
| It's guys in there just pumping iron, and Esper comes in there. | ||
| He was touring the facility, and he starts giving this weird, impromptu speech about the need for more diversity and equity and inclusion in the military. | ||
| So, like, I mean, right then and there, you know that he just doesn't get it, right? | ||
| Because anyone who's played on a sports team or has served in the military, it's not about, you know, diversity. | ||
| It's about performance. | ||
| People get along great when you're striving towards common goals and you're not inserting this left-wing poison ideology into units where that just doesn't belong. | ||
| And so it doesn't surprise me at all to learn that Esper and Milley were working hand-in-hand to undermine President Trump's agenda. | ||
| They thought they were in charge. | ||
| And you know, here's a clear, you know, I'm not an interventionist, Steve, at all. | ||
| I mean, we should be, you know, not be engaging in foreign conflicts we just discussed in your last segment, but there is a clear American interest in securing the southern border and interdicting these Mexican drug cartels. | ||
| And I'm not, I'm speaking for myself in my platoon, but if my battalion commander called us together and said, hey guys, like we're going to go in a massive military operation, To secure the southern border once and for all and blow up and crush these evil Mexican drug cartels? | ||
| I can tell you my platoon would have been ready to saddle up and go. | ||
| And so that is clearly in the American interest. | ||
| But you know, hey, Mark Esper, he can't do that because, you know, that offends his, you know, vague notion of, you know, international law. | ||
| Or, you know, that might offend some corrupt foreign governments. | ||
| It's an absolute disgrace. | ||
| Mexico is a failed state and it's run by the cartels and we got to take the cartels on. | ||
| Is that a big deal? | ||
| Commander-in-Chief Cesar the Threat has got to take the cartels on. | ||
| No, but Esper and these guys didn't want it. | ||
| Remember, they fought him every step of the way, withdrawing from Afghanistan in a process that Trump could control and would leave us there with a stable Afghanistan and without any 13 dead. | ||
| And humiliated. | ||
| Let's play the tape right now. | ||
| By the way, Jake Beckett is such a threat. | ||
| And I'll say this, if the senator down there votes for this $40 billion bill, he's done. | ||
| He's under 50, and Beckett beats him in a runoff. | ||
| It's real simple, folks. | ||
| Everybody that's voting for somebody that's not the current senator, who's a complete loser. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good. | |
| Will you say that one more time? | ||
| I'm Jennifer Clapp. | ||
| I'm with Elections in Craighead County. | ||
| in the runoff. | ||
| Let's play. | ||
| But they're giving Beckett the old Arkansas politics, baby. | ||
| They know how to do it down there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let's go ahead. | |
| By the way, you thought Jake Beckett was running for the U.S. | ||
| Senate, Guide Service Country? | ||
| You would be incorrect. | ||
| Okay, let's go ahead and play it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Good. | |
| Will you say that one more time? | ||
| I'm Jennifer Clatham with Elections in Craighead County. | ||
| I got a message from you. | ||
| Hey, Jennifer. | ||
| Hey. | ||
| So, there's been, I've heard from a couple of folks that at the Lake City location, it was listed as Jack Beckett for Senate candidate Jake Beckett. | ||
| And so, I was calling to get that fixed ASAP. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It can't get fixed at this point. | ||
| That was not caught in our, and actually we're not the only county who did it, so we're wondering if it got done at the company level that does our elections, because we weren't the only one it happened to. | ||
| But at this point, we can't. | ||
| We've got the ballots already posted. | ||
| We basically send all of the media that goes into these machines off to Omaha, Nebraska. | ||
| They program it and send it back. | ||
| At this point, there is no correction for it. | ||
| It is all locked in. | ||
| We have it on the thing that will post No, Steve, this is totally out of control. | ||
| So let's just like, here's the situation. | ||
| So it's not even controlled in Arkansas. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You can't make, Beckett, please don't tell me this is a parody tape. | |
| This is not real, is it? | ||
| No, Steve, this is totally out of control. | ||
| So let's just like, here's the situation. | ||
| So early voting started today in Arkansas and on at least one major county in Arkansas, Craighead County is the seventh most populous county in the state of Arkansas. | ||
| My name is incorrect on the ballot. | ||
| It says Jack Beckett, not Jake Beckett. | ||
| And so there's two problems. | ||
| As that woman admitted in the tape you just played, they knew about this at least by April 28th. | ||
| So two weeks ago, She knew about it. | ||
| The State Secretary of State knew about it. | ||
| And instead of doing the right thing, issuing a correction or going to the media, they didn't contact our campaign. | ||
| They didn't contact our opponents. | ||
| They were hoping to hide this and sweep it under the rug because the State Secretary of State is facing a primary challenger who's accusing him of bungling Arkansas elections. | ||
| So it was in his interest not to go public with this. | ||
| And number two, as you just pointed out, she just admitted that the state of Arkansas, we don't control our own elections. | ||
| They can't fix this error. | ||
| Steve, my name is wrong on the ballot. | ||
| And she says they can't fix it because the voting machine software is controlled out of state in Omaha, Nebraska. | ||
| So, you know, Senator Bozeman, my opponent, right? | ||
| He voted to certify. | ||
| Hang on one second. | ||
| We're going to take a short break. | ||
| Jake, we've got to hold you over. | ||

Jake Becker will join us on the other side. | |
| I'm Jennifer Clatham with Elections in Craighead County. | ||
| When there's no more, let's take down the CCP! | ||
| One more time. | ||
| I'm Jennifer Clatham with Elections in Cricket County. I got a message from you. | ||
| Hey Jennifer. | ||
| Hey. | ||
| So, there's been, I've heard from a couple of folks that at the Lake City location, it was listed as Jack Beckett for Senate candidate Jake Beckett. | ||
| And so I was calling to get that fixed ASAP. | ||
| It can't get fixed at this point. | ||
| That was not caught in our, and actually we're not the only county who did it, so we're wondering if it got done at the company level that does our elections, because we weren't the only one it happened to. | ||
| But at this point, we can't. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| We've got the ballots already posted. | ||
| We basically send all of the media that goes into these machines off to Omaha, Nebraska. | ||
| They program it and send it back. | ||
| So at this point, there is no correction for it. | ||
| It is all locked in. | ||
| I want to thank my brother and sister, who I'm very close to, my younger brother and younger sister. | ||
| We're the three thickest thieves, and they watch the show, and they both sent me when Jake was on. | ||

Omaha, Nebraska, Buffet Land. | |
| Jake, they say at the company level that runs our elections, What in the hell, brother, is going on? | ||
| Didn't the senator down there, didn't he vote to certify the illegitimate Biden election in 2020? | ||
| Did he not vote to certify that? | ||
| And what the hell is going on in Arkansas? | ||
| You're right, Steve. | ||
| I mean, he voted to certify the stolen 2020 election after January 6. | ||
| He thought Trump belonged in prison, thought he shouldn't run for re-election in 2024. | ||
| You know, he's got to go. | ||
| And, you know, we talked about election integrity. | ||
| You know, a lot of people, even some elected Republicans, they scoff at these concerns about election integrity. | ||
| We can't have a constitutional republic where the mass majority of voters Don't have confidence in our elections. | ||
| And, you know, when they're misspelling names that they have wrong names on the ballots and they say they can't fix it because the software is out of state and they don't control their own ballot process. | ||
| I mean, that's just it's totally ridiculous and it's insane. | ||
| And the Arkansas Republican establishment is lined up to take me out to prevent me from winning because they know I'm going to put these issues at the forefront and I'm going to fight to change it. | ||
| How do people find out? | ||
| By the way, I think you're taking action starting tonight or tomorrow morning, is that correct, in this whole situation? | ||
| Yes, we're initiating legal action tomorrow. | ||
| We're going to blow this up. | ||
| Steve, we have to fight this battle, not just for my campaign and my race, but for elections going forward. | ||
| The War Room Posse can find me at jakebeckett.com, J-A-K-E-B-E-Q-U-E-T-T-E dot com. | ||
| Help us out, support us. | ||
| The primary is May 24th. | ||
| Early voting started today, so get out and vote. | ||
| Or either Jake or Jack Beckett, whoever that is. | ||
| By the way, you can tell the out-of-state money does not want Beckett in the United States Senate representing the great folks down there in Arkansas, the Patriots. | ||
| They don't come any better than the state of Arkansas. | ||
| Jake, honored to have you on here. | ||
| Look forward to tracking the story, sir. | ||
| Thank you, Steve. | ||
| This shows about a populist revolt about people getting engaged. | ||
| Tiffany Justice is going to join us at the 6 o'clock hour to talk about the sweeping landslides yesterday of the Moms of America in this revolt in the school boards across the great state of Texas. | ||
| She's going to be there to give us an update. | ||
| Also, we're going to get an update in Georgia, where rural Trump voters, many of whom have never voted in a primary. | ||
| I think it's 100,000 over where it was in 2018. | ||
| So, amazing news there. | ||
| Debbie Dooley, an activist, is going to join us. | ||
| But I want to go now to Bridget and Christian Ziegler down in Sarasota, Florida. | ||
| New York Times got a big article about it. | ||
| Tell us what's going on down there, folks. | ||
| You have taken action, become engaged, and you got the New York Times all worked up about it. | ||
| Tell us what happened down in Sarasota. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I'm on the school board in Sarasota County. | |
| I'm a vocal conservative, been on there since 2014 fighting the good fight and lifting up rocks and at the end of the day they're not used to dissent. | ||
| They subscribe to groupthink and I'm a mother of three and believe education is paramount. | ||
| I'm very much a part of the parent awakening and at the end of the day they think that dissent is really the vision and they're trying to do everything they can to make sure that I do not win my re-election and turn the board to a conservative majority. | ||
| So what is that? | ||
| Tell us what they're doing. | ||
| By the way, I have breaking news. | ||
| We're going to have Terry Schilling on tomorrow. | ||
| Terry just sent me that. | ||
| Politico's got a huge story up. | ||
| Biden officials prepare to blow up, and I'm quoting from Politico, Biden officials prepare to blow up Trump's rules on sexual misconduct in schools. | ||
| And this talks about the due process for sexual assault allegations, talks about this whole protecting gender identity, keeping parents out of the loop, the Title IX with the Well, because it's power. | ||
| girls having to compete with guys that, you know, or think they're women. | ||
| This whole thing, President Trump's rules being blown up now by the Biden administration. | ||
| What got you and what what's gotten you and the mothers so engaged? | ||
| And why are the mainstream media like The New York Times? | ||
| Why are they in meltdown? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, because it's power. | |
| I mean, the liberal left has controlled education for decades. | ||
| And Tiffany Justice, you mentioned you're going to have at the end and Tina Deskovic from Moms for Liberty, I work closely with. | ||
| We're kind of the rarity conservatives speaking out and really being about focusing on bringing government to the people, representing our constituents, particularly as parents, when you think of education, and they have had a dominance on education for decades, and they don't like to lose that power structure, so the media has bought in with them. | ||
| And we're fighting back, and we are absolutely seeing tides change. | ||
| You were mentioning the election. | ||
| Ohio, we saw Virginia and San Francisco. | ||
| We're going to keep that moving because that is ultimately the government by the people for the people is what we are all about. | ||
| Christian, has this helped us get motivated and get people motivated, you know, that heretofore have not been engaged in politics? | ||
| We had a special on Saturday. | ||
| People loved it. | ||
| Saturday, massive wins in Texas. | ||
| We're going to have people on today to talk about it. | ||
| In Georgia, in the rural counties, you got people jacked. | ||
| Is this helping us? | ||
| We know Florida is the free state of Florida, but is this helping us in a broader context to take on, to get, you know, down-ballot races won, to take the House seats and the Senate seats, sir? | ||
|
unidentified
|
It is. | |
| And I'll tell you, Steve, I'm the vice chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, also married to a school board member. | ||
| So I get a front row seat to what's happening at these board meetings. | ||
| And what you're seeing even here in Sarasota, Florida, which this is a Republican county, is you have these school board members that are far left. | ||
| They're used to operating, frankly, with zero accountability and zero public oversight. | ||
| And now the parents are awakening and they were forced to do so after COVID. | ||
| And they're showing up. | ||
| First, they saw what their kids were learning from home when they were in school for a couple weeks remote, and parents could see what was going on. | ||
| Then they said, you know what? | ||
| We've got to take a look at this. | ||
| And the more they dive in, the more concerned they are. | ||
| And then they're showing up at the board meetings frustrated, angry. | ||
| We have a 3-2 liberal majority school board here. | ||
| It's absolutely insane what's going on in Sarasota. | ||
| It's kind of a mini Loudoun County. | ||
| We have a school board member that's throwing people out. | ||
| Or something, not what they said, but what they're quote-unquote about to say. | ||
| That just happened two weeks ago and got world press. | ||
| And how that's going to translate to the election here in Florida is parents are engaged. | ||
| These are 20, 30, 40-year-olds that frankly have never been involved politically, may not have ever voted, to be honest, in a school board election in August. | ||
| Again, the elections are in August in Florida. | ||
| Important for everyone to remember that because the liberals win because Republicans and conservatives don't vote. | ||
| But these parents are showing up. | ||
| And when you actually look at their voter registration, when they show up to get involved with the local party, more often than not, they're actually independents and Democrats that are siding with conservatives in the Republican Party because they're so angry, so frustrated. | ||
| And frankly, they're ready to take back not just their country and their state, but they're excited to take back their local community and their schools. | ||
| So this is going to be a huge driver of excitement. | ||
| Huge driver of door knockers for us, phone callers. | ||
| These are the grassroots. | ||
| They're rising up. | ||
| They're making their voice heard. | ||
| And frankly, it's a beautiful thing to see because this is how government should operate. | ||
| The people are in charge. | ||
| And when you forget about that, the people rise up. | ||
| And that's what we're seeing right now. | ||
| I want to add one more thing. | ||
| Steve, you mentioned why is the media getting involved? | ||
| And ultimately, it comes down to they're trying to create a narrative about concerned parents that are being disrupted, domestic terrorists. | ||
| I sit on the front lines. | ||
| I'm a school board member. | ||
| I see it, and so yes, parents get frustrated in their passion about their children, but they're being provoked, interrupted, they're being dismissed, and no one's listening. | ||
| Not only are they not giving them time to speak, but they're not taking their concerns seriously. | ||
| And so you have a double-edged sword where that's going to blow up, and so instead, the media is playing on to this tune to discredit the families of the parents that are fighting back, but I think you're seeing the grassroots aspect that they know that's a fodder, and that's what we're seeing the momentum about. | ||
| Let me ask you one last thing, Bridget, before we go, is that this whole concept of parents' rights, and Christian just said, hey, a lot of these people are people who are former independents, former Democrats, where they come together. | ||
| We understand a lot of these moms or parents maybe not be fans initially or fans at all of President Trump, but like we said, these are broader issues than that. | ||
| Do you see this parental rights movement, do you see this having a potential to sweep across the country and actually change the direction of the country starting at the schools? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| So I have, I'm proud to say that I was instrumental in passing the Florida parental rights bill in Florida. | ||
| As I saw what was happening at the school board level where they were eroding and putting barriers for parents to be involved in their minor children's education. | ||
| And not to mention that, just the mental health components, the gender ideology that's being pushed. | ||
| Thank God for Governor Rhonda Santos who has helped us push this through because from the local level, I've been able to partner with our legislature and our great governor to actually make these things happen. | ||
| But it's not about Top down, it's about the local government serving the local community, which they're there and nothing is more important than education. | ||
| And I think that you're absolutely, so the parental rights movement, if you will, that has spawned over, I mean, I've been working at it since 2016, 17, 18, but it's high time that we take this back because these are, you don't get that time back with your children and they're impressionable minds and they're exploiting it. | ||
| And again, moms are waking up, speaking out and taking back that control. | ||
| By the way, just now we're going to have Terry Schilling on tomorrow. | ||
| Lead story in Politico right now is about how Biden, they're tripling down. | ||
| They hear it. | ||
| They hear the people we have on the show. | ||
| They see what's going on. | ||
| They don't care. | ||
| This is about power now. | ||
| They're going to make a power move. | ||
| They say, hey, parents, just like McCullough said, and the school teacher said, when they're in the schools, they're theirs. | ||
| When they're out of school, you guys deal with them. | ||
| When they're in school, they're theirs. | ||
| And that is going to be, we're going to have, that's a big spread between the bid and the ask, right? | ||
| And you're going to have the parents of America, and Biden's tripling down. | ||
| They're tripling down. | ||
| We're going to have Terry on here tomorrow about this, about these, about all the Trump sexual contact rules that they're going to rip up and throw out and say, hey, You know, we don't care what you have to say. | ||
| We're going to federalize this now. | ||
| Bridget, can you give Christian and you, what's the social media, how can people follow your campaign more? | ||
| How can they keep up with you guys? | ||
| Because this is a, it's a local story with national implications. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| So you can go to nwoke.com and support my campaign. | ||
| And also in Sarasota County, like we said, we live in a conservative county, but we have the opportunity to move a majority of the board to be conservatives and represent the people, all parents, We have a lot of focus on this particular election and all the support because as you see the national media and the leftist media is getting involved because they want to ensure they maintain their groundswell of control. | ||
| And it's not about students. | ||
| It is about control. | ||
| And Steve, I want to add, I mean, the Republican Party of Florida here, our chairman, Joe Gruters, who was Donald Trump's state chairman in 2016 during that battle that you obviously were a part of and the Republican Party of Florida, For too long, really, the Republican parties across the country have left these school board races up to the teachers unions. | ||
| And they've operated really under the radar and gotten these school board members elected that even in Republican counties, we have very far left liberals that are actually casting votes and controlling our children. | ||
| Well, I will tell you, the Republican Party of Florida, right here in Donald J. Trump's home state, that's governed by Ron DeSantis, we're not allowing that to happen. | ||
| We put a big focus on school board races across our state. | ||
| We encourage other states, the other 49 states, to follow our lead. | ||
| We need people involved. | ||
| And again, as Bridget mentioned, you guys have a huge audience here in War Room. | ||
| They are coming after her because Ron DeSantis said that we need a Bridget Ziegler in every county. | ||
| And if you want to help us, let's shatter the fundraising record. | ||
| Go to EndWoke.com. | ||
| EndWoke.com. | ||
| Let's get $5, $10. | ||

| Okay, we have Michelle Bachman, Dr. Naomi Wolf, and Frank Gaffney on this morning, talking about this very disturbing World Health Assembly or World Health Organization Congress that's going to take place on the 23rd of May. | ||
| I'm sure many of you have not heard about it or a lot of folks have not heard about it until recently, and why should it be a big deal? | ||
| Well, it turns out it may be taking away a big part Now you've got mainstream media talking about, hey, we could have 100 million COVID victims by the fall, could happen in the fall, you know, when the elections are in the fall. | ||
| Who knows what's going on? | ||
| There's 400 million people locked down in China right now, 26 million in Shanghai. | ||
| James Roguski is an independent investigator, kind of one of the first guys to initiate this. | ||
| James, just take a second and walk the audience through exactly what's going on here, kind of the timeline you got involved in, what are the facts? | ||
| The facts are all available on my article. | ||
| We'll talk about how to get there, I'm sure, before the end of this. | ||
| The starting point is that the World Health Organization is analogous to the executive branch of our government. | ||
| If you don't want to think about the World Health Organization as a one world government, I hear that. | ||
| But the World Health Assembly is very similar to our Senate. | ||
| But they meet once a year. | ||
| They're going to be meeting in Geneva from the 22nd to the 28th of May. | ||
| And so 194 nations all send delegates to Geneva. | ||
| They each get one vote. | ||
| And amongst the many other things that they're going to be doing is they're voting on amendments that were negotiated very much, you know, in secret and were submitted in secret. | ||
| They were never published. | ||
| But the United States delegate, Loyce Pace, presented these to the WHO on January 18th of this year, 2022. | ||
| Now they had to do it then because there's a four month period before the assembly that is mandatory that you have to submit any amendments prior to that. | ||
| And so then it just went completely hidden. | ||
| I learned about it on March 28th and on April 12th, the document actually finally popped up in the public domain on the World Health Organization's website. | ||
| And so I am not a hacker. | ||
| I'm not like anyone who maybe worked like Snowden or Assange where they're getting classified information. | ||
| All I've done is read public information. | ||
| There are documents that are on the World Health Organization's website, documents in the Federal Register, and essentially what the amendments do is they alter something called the International Health Regulation. | ||
| Now most people have never heard of it. | ||
| They had the origin going all the way back to the time of the Civil War and before. | ||
| They were about sanitary conditions with things like the plague and smallpox and yellow fever. | ||
| And when the WHO was started in 1948, they took over those sanitary rules. | ||
| They ended up becoming the International Health Regulations. | ||
| And in 2005, they went through a very, very large revision. | ||
| And now what we're dealing with, again, is amendments that serve to give much more power to the WHO. | ||
| The international health regulations as they stand right now actually have the WHO in shackles, in a straight jacket. | ||
| They've got handcuffs on. | ||
| They can't do what they would like to do, which is trigger what they refer to as a public health emergency of international concern, PHEIC, faith. | ||
| Currently, they have to respect the sovereignty of every nation that is a member, and they have to get their approval to declare an emergency. | ||
| The amendments, amongst doing many, many, many other things, would take away that requirement that they work with the individual nation's government to get their approval and give the power to who is, you know, currently the Secretary, the Director General is Tedros, He could declare an emergency anytime he wants for any reason, overriding the national sovereignty. | ||
| And so in essence, he would become the dictator general of the World Health Organization, able to declare emergencies at will. | ||
| Now, we're still under the emergency that they declared for Corona, but this all cascades down. | ||
| Most of your viewers, I'm going to guess, are not aware that the United States is currently under 42 national emergencies going all the way back to the hostage crisis in Iran that are still active and the worst of the situation is even a level down is the public health emergency that's controlled by the secretary of health and human services and that's what makes all of the money flow all of the emergency authorization james hang on we | ||
| got a bolt for the next episode but i want to get you where people can go and get you But just one quick question. | ||
| Why was this never brought up in any hearings? | ||
| Or as you followed it, and you've probably done the best job, have there been any hearings? | ||
| Has there been anything on Capitol Hill that any representative like Lois Absolutely nothing. | ||
| It's hidden. | ||
| That's what we're calling for. | ||
| And Rand, Paul Grohler, like they grill Fauci, has there been any public disclosure of this where the government actually came through and had to present? | ||
| Absolutely nothing. | ||
| It's hidden. | ||
| That's what we're calling for. | ||
| If people go to DontYouDare.info, it's not .com, DontYouDare.info or StopTheWho.com, we're asking people to take our copy of the email and send it to their senators and congresspeople and attorneys general. | ||
| Long story short, it's been hidden. | ||
| They wanted it to pop up at the end of May and like Nancy Pelosi with the Obamacare bill, oh, just vote for it, read it later. | ||
| Well, we're reading it now and people need to learn about it. | ||
| We're going to have you back on tomorrow. | ||
| We're going to get people fired up on this $40 billion Ukraine bailout and also this. | ||
| This must be stopped. | ||
| It must come forward. | ||
| We've also been working all day. | ||
| We've got a lot of people on Capitol Hill that are outraged at this, or at least feigning outrage. | ||
| Maybe they got caught too. | ||
