How engaged voters are headed into this year's midterms. | |
| Joining me now, CNN Senior Data Reporter, Harry Antin. | ||
| Harry, you know, 2018 in terms of midterm turnout and enthusiasm, very high, like a hundred year high. | ||
| How do things look right now? | ||
| Yeah, so we can look at the primary to give you an idea. | ||
| And, you know, there's all this talk, oh, once Trump leaves the White House, voters will be less engaged. | ||
| Well, actually, they're more engaged so far in the primary. | ||
| So this is 2022 primary turnout compared to 2018. | ||
| Overall, look at this. | ||
| We're up 12%! | ||
| We're up 12%! | ||
| Among Democrats, I will point out that we're down by just 3%, but this is primarily being driven by Republican primary turnout. | ||
| Look at this number. | ||
| Up 29%! | ||
| Whenever you see a rise like that, you know something's cooking, and here what is cooking is Republicans are really engaged, and overall that has made the electorate also More engaged. | ||
|
unidentified
|
These are actual people showing up at actual polls to vote in actual primaries. | |
| Yes. | ||
| And Harry, you're also seeing it in some of the polling in terms of the enthusiasm question. | ||
| We are. | ||
| So, you know, one of the questions that sort of gave me a hint early on in the 2018 cycle that people were really enthused about voting was this question that we've asked in CNN polling. | ||
| You know, how enthusiastic are you to vote? | ||
| Extremely enthusiastic to vote in the midterm. | ||
| Extremely enthusiastic. | ||
| I'm extremely enthusiastic about being up at 620 in the morning. | ||
| I'm extremely enthusiastic about doing this presentation. | ||
| Voters are extremely enthusiastic about voting in the midterm. | ||
| Look at this. | ||
| At this point in the cycle, 23% say they're extremely enthusiastic to vote in 2022. | ||
| That is the same percentage that said that in 2018, which, as you mentioned, John, featured record turnout. | ||
| And what's key about this is this does seem to be foretelling about how many people will actually turn out in the midterm elections, because if you look here, that 23 and 23, much larger than that 15 in 2014, and that 17% in 2010, and the amazing thing was that 15 in 2014 was actually taken later on in the cycle when usually more voters are engaged, so a lot of them voters are engaged early on in this cycle. | ||
| We, the President, myself, many of us are deeply concerned and troubled by the Supreme Court's ruling today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It, I believe, defies common sense and the Constitution of the United States. | |
| We will work together to limit the risk this decision will create once it is implemented. | ||
| And we cannot allow New York to become the Wild Wild West. | ||
| That is unacceptable. | ||
| This decision is created. | ||
| We will not allow our city to live in fear that everyone around us is armed and that any altercation could evolve into a shootout. | ||
| We will not allow the men and women of the police department to be subjected to further danger, making their already difficult jobs even more horroring. | ||
| And let me say this again. | ||
| We will do everything in our power, using every legal resource available, to ensure the gains we've seen during this administration are not undone. | ||
| And that New Yorkers are not put in greater danger of gun violence. | ||
| There is no place in the nation that this decision affects as much as New York City. | ||
| There is no place in the nation that is going to be impacted based on this decision more than New York City. | ||
| There's no place in the nation that the decision affects as much as New Yorkers. | ||
| And we are prepared to set an example that will lead the country of how do we fight back on this decision. | ||
| Today's Supreme Court decision may have opened an additional river that is going to feed the sea of gun violence in our city and in our nation. | ||
| Now is the time for every elected official who cares about the safety of all Americans to come together and respond thoroughly and comprehensively to this appalling decision. | ||
| Our work begins now to start saving New Yorkers and Americans. | ||
| That is Adam, Eric Adams, a city that is descended in anarchy and chaos. | ||
| People can't walk around Midtown Manhattan because of, he's a clown, okay? | ||
| But of course, after Andrew Giuliani takes over and blows out the source back DA immediately in the first minute of his administration, and then after he puts in emergency powers to essentially make sure that New York City is properly managed and administered, which is not happening. | ||
| Thursday, June 2022. | ||
| Claudia Tenney, Congressman Tenney, joins us from New York. | ||
| She's an expert in this area. | ||
| 2022. Claudia Tenney, Congressman Tenney joins us from New York. She's an expert in this area. Is Eric Adams and Kamala Harris, is it odd that the vice president of the United States, the president of the Senate, starts off with a 6-3 Supreme Court blowout and a really tough decision written by Justice Thomas, where she starts off by saying that what they just did is unconstitutional? How did Kamala Harris, who is a former Congressman Tenney, you're an expert in this area. | ||
| Walk us through what happened today. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is a shot at authoritarianism. | |
| It was a brilliant decision by Justice Thomas. | ||
| And what happened in New York, and this is what's really, really interesting, this case Basically throughout, the Sullivan Law started in 1911, which was a law that discriminated against people of color, people of different ethnicities. | ||
| It was a blatantly bigoted law. | ||
| And Justice Thomas put out a brilliant decision. | ||
| If anyone wants to read a great master case on why the Second Amendment is so important, he lays out that this is a fundamental right, a pre-existing right, | ||
| And why we cannot continue the two-step test of Heller, and also continues on to talk about the fact that when you have the right to keep and bear arms, not just the right to keep arms, and is for self-protection, these people were denied this under this long-standing law over a hundred years that allowed courts to subjectively discriminate against people without any real clarity. | ||
| And basically, Justice Thomas said, no, you cannot discriminate any longer. | ||
| And the most interesting thing about this that both Kamala Harris and Mayor Adams missed is the Legal Aid Society of New York City, which is a far left, I would say not necessarily far left, but maybe a left-leaning organization, hailed this decision by Justice Thomas as a win for civil rights because it threw out this discriminatory language that denied people of color and people of different ethnicities to have and obtain the right to have a concealed carry permit | ||
| To protect themselves, especially in this climate that we have of rising crime across, not just New York City, but across New York State and across America. | ||
| People, the very reason this case exists is because two guys decided to go get a concealed carry permit. | ||
| They were denied a concealed carry permit outside of their home because of subjective standards of a justice. | ||
| When actually the reason they sought this permit was because of the rising crime rates and they felt the need to protect themselves. | ||
| Outside of their home. | ||
| That's why the Supreme Court weighed in on this very important case to preserve Second Amendment rights, recognize them as fundamental rights and pre-existing rights under our Constitution. | ||
| This is a great day for the Constitution. | ||
| It's a win not just for New Yorkers, but for Americans, freedom lovers, and patriots across this nation. | ||
| It is a huge win and it is a great decision. | ||
| I urge everyone who cares about our Constitution, take the time to read this decision. | ||
| I haven't even finished reading it. | ||
| I've been just picking through it. | ||
| It's tremendous from what I've read so far. | ||
| Give us your background on this. | ||
| You're very involved in this entire thing. | ||
| Walk us through what you're engaging in. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah, well, I'm obviously a very strong Second Amendment supporter. | |
| I led this brief. | ||
| There was an amicus brief filed by NRA. | ||
| I led the brief, worked on crafting a very unique aspect of this on the Sullivan Law. | ||
| And seeing the racism and the bigotry in this law. | ||
| And that was the angle we took in our amicus so-called Friends of Court brief to the Supreme Court. | ||
| I led 175 of my colleagues in Congress on the House side. | ||
| Unfortunately, all Republicans. | ||
| We couldn't get any Democrats to stand up for our Second Amendment rights in this case. | ||
| And it's interesting because Justice Thomas makes reference to the bigotry of the Sullivan Law. | ||
| And in his analysis, he actually strikes down the Sullivan Law and restores Second Amendment constitutional rights. | ||
| So this was really exciting that we were able to not only be a champion of our Constitution but also stand as civil rights activists, according to Justice Thomas in this case, and bolstered by the Legal Aid Society of New York who realized that this was really a win for all Americans. If this has been around since 1911, why has it taken so long? | ||
| Why did it take over 100 years to set things right? | ||
| What's been the process? | ||
| Why didn't it come up sooner? | ||
| Or was this the perfect case to do it? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, there's been a number of cases actually referenced in Justice Thomas. | |
| There was a case out of the Buffalo area that was referenced by him that should have handled this long ago. | ||
| But our Supreme Court refused to take up and defend Second Amendment rights. | ||
| This is a step better than Heller, which had a two-step case. | ||
| Justice Thomas just threw out this two-step case and said, the plain language of the Second Amendment is all we need. | ||
| We don't need to go in and scrutinize any further what's going on and what it states in the Second Amendment. | ||
| You have the right to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. | ||
| And he made it very clear. | ||
| It's the same thing. | ||
| All Second Amendment advocates like myself have said over and over. | ||
| And finally, we have a Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision. | ||
| We basically got all of the so-called Republican justices or conservative-leaning justices on this case. | ||
| You know, we've often had a lot of 5-4 decisions. | ||
| The fact that this is a 6-3 just bolsters that. | ||
| Also, I reference you to, I know you have a lot of aficionados out there on the Second Amendment, read through Justice Alito's point-by-point discussion and sort of a tit-for-tat With Justice Breyer on this case, it's really worth reading. | ||
| There's great points in there on why the Second Amendment matters, why it's the foundational right after the First Amendment. | ||
| They even use First Amendment examples in this and why it's so important to preserve our fundamental rights. | ||
| Isn't it ironic that at the same time we're doing this, the Senate is moving forward? | ||
| I mean, what's your thoughts on what they're doing with the situation of Ovalde with literally no information? | ||
| We don't have a timeline. | ||
| You've got conflicting information every day about what happened in the school. | ||
| No information about the shooter or the circumstances with the shooter. | ||
| Don't you find it ironic at the same time you have this amazing decision about the right to bear arms, keep and bear arms, that you've got this whatever the Senate's doing right now? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well thank God it came out now. | |
| I'm really gratified to see this decision. | ||
| But what concerns me most about what's happening in the Senate, it reminds me of the authoritarian one-party rule that I experienced in Albany. | ||
| When we got to a committee meeting, there would be just a bill that was drafted by the Democrats and we had to vote either yes or no on it. | ||
| We didn't go through the committee process, we didn't bring experts and stakeholders on how do we solve this problem. | ||
| You know, remember Buffalo is just around the corner from my district Uh, but we did and you've all the, you know, the tragedies that are happening here. | ||
| Why aren't we hearing from experts across the nation on the issues with mental health and all these other issues? | ||
| We just get this knee-jerk reaction that it's got to be the guns because that's the easy way out. | ||
| I'm disappointed that the Senate has come up with a framework. | ||
| We haven't seen the language, but you know, going after our second amendment rights, whether it's red flag laws or other laws that may be in this bill, which we haven't seen, um, is the wrong headed approach we need to go back to. | ||
| Being deliberative, getting the experts in the field, find out how we solve this problem, how we minimize these terrible tragedies that occur and stop blaming lawful gun owners and taking our rights away from us. | ||
| There are greater problems that I think that are causing this. | ||
| Let's look at, for example, New York State, where Governor Cuomo, including Governor Holcomb, have let dangerous criminals out of prison, out of the county jails as well, all during the pandemic. | ||
| And nobody gets in trouble anymore. | ||
| We have a cashless bail system where we prioritize criminals over the victims. | ||
| We also have a system of mental health in New York State where we've shut down many of our psychiatric centers. | ||
| We have people on the streets that are a danger to themselves and others that cannot be in a Non-restrictive environment. | ||
| It is unhealthy. | ||
| It is inhumane to have some of these people on our streets. | ||
| And yet we have, you know, we have open areas in New York State where people can shoot up drugs, being protected by police. | ||
| This is something that's wrong with our society. | ||
| And the knee-jerk reaction to think that we need to do a fix on guns is going to sound, this is really the wrong-headed approach. | ||
| I wish the Senate would go back and reject these, this bill from what I've seen. | ||
| It doesn't look like it's going to be good for Second Amendment rights. | ||
| And start over and maybe learn from Justice Thomas's great decision and read why our Second Amendment rights are so important and why we really need to do a full scope of looking at what the problem is and why we have this violence in this country. | ||
| When I was young, we didn't have school shootings and mass violence like this. | ||
| It was usually the Democrats actually bombing buildings. | ||
| That was our issue. | ||
| You know, the weather underground or some of the bombings that have taken place here in the Capitol building. | ||
| You know, back in the 80s and at other times. | ||
| Congressman Tenney, how do people get to you, particularly your commentary on the decisions and the briefs? | ||
| How do people get to you, social media and your website? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, first of all, thank you so much. | |
| My Twitter handle is Claudia Tenney. | ||
| I'm at claudia4congress.com and also tenney.house.gov. | ||
| So your viewers know, I explain every vote. | ||
| It's on my Twitter feed, it's on my Instagram and Facebook page, and also on my official site. | ||
| I give long explanations and detailed explanations as to how I vote on every bill. | ||
| I've found that people around the country often look to us as the clearinghouse to find out why we vote the way we do on bills. | ||
| But as a former journalist, I think it's important to be totally transparent. | ||
| Congressman Tenney, thank you very much for joining us here in the War Room. | ||
| Let's send everybody to their site. | ||
| Short break. | ||
| Ben Berquam down the border next. | ||

| So go check it out. | ||
| I've got the great Ben Bergquam. | ||
| Ben, tee up! | ||
| You got some amazing footage. | ||
| You also got down there in Nogales with the sheriffs, with the great patriots down there in law enforcement and border patrol. | ||
| Tee up on what we're about to see, Ben Bergquam. | ||
| Steve, we were riding with the Cochise County Sheriff's yesterday and I was actually on a ranch with a rancher named John Ladd. | ||
| We were actually helping him get one of his cattle out of the mud that was stuck in the mud. | ||
| Wait till you see that footage, it's wild. | ||
| But in between this, what these guys have to go through on a day-to-day basis, going from calls for service to calls for illegal aliens and the crime and the deaths, we got a call that actually on one of John Ladd's ranches there were five illegal aliens. | ||
| They flagged down one of the ranch hands. | ||
| We showed up there and witnessed one of these illegal aliens dying of heat exhaustion and dehydration. | ||
| I don't know his current condition, but the moral of the story is, to all of the leftists that are pushing for open borders, John Ladd went on to say that there had been 16 deaths on his ranch alone. | ||
| Open border policies kill people, not just American citizens, but they kill the illegal aliens that the leftists are pretending to care about. | ||
| That's what this footage shows. | ||
| The cartels bring them through. | ||
| They're just money to the cartels. | ||
| They don't care about you. | ||
| Let's go ahead and play this footage. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We used to start medics this way. | |
| Never reportedly deviated. | ||
| It's lost consciousness. | ||
| I'm here. | ||
| You guys nearby me? | ||
| He's coming up behind me. | ||
| We got to get this guy out of here right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Bueno. | |
| Desperta, wey. | ||
| Desperta. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, Nick's on his way. | |
| He can do IVs. | ||
| His eyes were rolling back in the air when it got here. | ||
| Now his eyes are barely opening. | ||
| He doesn't have capillary refill. | ||
| So he's in some kind of dehydration. | ||
| Let's get him out to the freaking road. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Can you grab his legs? | |
| Can you grab his legs? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| No. | ||
| Can I play with him? | ||
| Do you need help? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Take his legs. | ||
| Do you need help? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Look at me. | ||
| I'm a doctor, okay? | ||
| Do you need help? | ||
| Yes, he do you that. | ||
| Conduct medical no mask. | ||
| You know me. | ||
| You know me. | ||
| I'm going to tell him to see equals. | ||
| Can I have cold compresses for him? | ||
| We got some water. | ||
| We got some cold water in the car. | ||
|
unidentified
|
We've had 16 dead bodies on the ranch that I know about. | |
| The last one was about three weeks ago. | ||
| So that was 16. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't think this guy's going to make it. | |
| The left says that their policies are compassionate. | ||
| What would you tell them? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, take a look at what they're getting for $6,000 to cross the border. | |
| They're going to die. | ||
| Pictures are worth a thousand words. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Here's what their own people are doing to them to cross into the U.S. | |
| Sixth grade? | ||
| And what does it take to get $6,000 to pay these cartels, which is pure profit? | ||
| This is why, Ben, human trafficking is much more profitable than drug trafficking. | ||
| That is just a tragedy, and everybody ought to see it. | ||
| Do we know anything about the status of that individual? | ||
| Was he actually saved? | ||
| I don't know yet. | ||
| I reached back out to sheriffs. | ||
| They're looking into it today. | ||
| He's going to let me know as soon as he knows for sure. | ||
| I was praying with him yesterday. | ||
| And again, I don't fault the people that are trying to come over here. | ||
| We've invited them. | ||
| We've incentivized them. | ||
| And every life is precious. | ||
| You know, and this is what these guys deal with. | ||
| Border Patrol, they're heroes. | ||
| These sheriffs are heroes. | ||
| They're saving lives out there while they're being attacked by the left in America. | ||
| And all these lives are being put at more risk. | ||
| And I just got word, Steve, Oscar Blue, who's done amazing work down in Tapachula, just got word there's another group of 4,000 that are organizing down there in Tapachula as we speak, planning on leaving tomorrow on a new caravan that's coming up. | ||
| This is not slowing down. | ||
| It's only increasing, and just like in that video, we're only going to see more of this. | ||
| We're only going to see more death and despair as these open-border leftists continue to push to invade our country. | ||
| Now, you've got an interview with the sheriff in Nogales. | ||
| You did this great interview on the show yesterday or two days ago with Sheriff Daniels down, I think, in Douglas, right? | ||
| Or you were in Sierra Vista when you were doing the interview. | ||
| Do these local authorities just feel completely or they feel it does they feel because they're the first line of defense that anybody has their back? | ||
| I understand Border Patrol now is just in the processing business, but to the local county sheriffs and law enforcement, they feel that anybody's got their back. | ||
| Well, speaking to Sheriff Daniels of Cochise County, he said that Joe Biden has abandoned them. | ||
| That's how he feels. | ||
| Speaking to the Sheriff here, Nogales is a different kind of breed, a different creature. | ||
| Most of the traffic that's coming through doesn't stay here. | ||
| You don't see the violence. | ||
| You don't see the crime that you see in a lot of the other places in Nogales. | ||
| It's all moving through to Phoenix and other ports. | ||
| But even the Sheriff down here, Hathaway, said Joe Biden has never shown up. | ||
| He said if they were going to do something, Show up and then they can, you know, but if at this point they've never had a call, they've never had anyone down here. | ||
| Secretary Marcus has never been here either. | ||
| But again, Sheriff of Cochise Daniel said he's been abandoned by Joe Biden. | ||
| No, we've talked about, you know, Abbott and Ducey. | ||
| Do these guys feel, in their chain of command at the state level, that Brnovich, the AG, or Ducey, the governor, are they doing anything at all? | ||
| We understand Biden's trying to exacerbate this, but do they feel that Republicans, Ducey and Brnovich, are doing anything to have their back? | ||
| You know, I was talking to the sheriff yesterday about that, that I was riding with, and he said he actually feels like D.C. | ||
| is doing some good. | ||
| They're using the state resources that they can on the Stone Garden, Operation Stone Garden, which gives state resources to local law enforcement to help in the border fight. | ||
| Most of the frustration is all directed at Washington, D.C., but there's no question about it. | ||
| Something's got to give. | ||
| The direction that we're heading is unsustainable. | ||
| Even with the states doing their minimal part, if we don't stop the incentives that are bringing people through, the answer that I continue to get is we're already past the point of no return. | ||
| But again, these guys are heroes. | ||
| Sheriff Danil said they're going to fight. | ||
| They're never going to give up. | ||
| And eventually, he has hope that they're going to win this thing. | ||
| So these guys are amazing. | ||
| They are absolutely amazing. | ||
| But they are frustrated. | ||
| Some of that goes to the state level, but most of that's going to the federal level. | ||
| But even there, you saw the situation with the illegal alien that was near death and was saved, or at least was saved. | ||
| We'll find out what the final status is. | ||
| And you see Daniel's the other day. | ||
| It's like they're putting their finger in a dike, right? | ||
| The water's still going to come over. | ||
| It's almost like playing a game now, right? | ||
| This is the, or let's go help. | ||
| What do they recommend the state level? | ||
| Because you understand the federal government, this is going to take impeachment of Mayorkas, Merrick Garland, and Biden to get to the for the invasion of the southern border. | ||
| But at the state level, besides giving some additional equipment, what do they need from Ducey, Brnovich, Abbott, and Paxton to stop this thing at the state level? | ||
| Really, it's going to take using their constitutional authority, declaring this an invasion, and then using those National Guard and state law enforcement resources to then do the federal government's job and start sending these people back. | ||
| There's going to have to be, it'll create a constitutional crisis. | ||
| It obviously will go to the courts, but in talking to a lot of people, we've had some of the folks on here talking about that. | ||
| There is a provision in the Constitution in the event of an invasion, if the federal government is not doing their job, that the states have the right to protect their citizens and their sovereignty. | ||
| And I think that, outside of that, you're right, you're putting your finger in a hole of a dam that's, the dam's coming down. | ||
| And so that, it's going to take something to that level, where they actually go put their National Guard resources, their law enforcement resources, down on the border, they grab these guys when they're coming over, and they physically send them back, or they prevent them from coming in. | ||
| Outside of that, Steve, This is, it is a, it's a disaster. | ||
| It's an absolute disaster. | ||
| It's a disaster. | ||
| This is why so many Hispanic Americans will be voting for MAGA, going to be voting for Republicans from the rear of Grand Valley, South Texas, all the way to Arizona, New Mexico, obviously Florida, but I hope also California. | ||
| Ben, you got the new show. | ||

| That's the app for your phone, for an Android phone. | ||
| The phones themselves, they're making them. | ||
| They'll be back. | ||
| They'll be here this fall. | ||
| But right now you can download an app go check it out unplugged.com Slash war room go check it out right now. | ||
| This is the Eric Prince special the app They can't track or monetize and the or the apps they do all the downloading the apps in the encryption that they cannot break And then this day in time, I think it's very important. | ||
| You saw I heard about the FBI raids this morning On Jeff Clark, who did nothing but try to assist the effort to really get to the bottom of what happened on 3 November. | ||
| Prove that starting in January this year when we start holding hearings. | ||
| So the show trial here that has no ranking member and no minority counsel or anything like that. | ||
| It's all nonsense. | ||
| That's why nobody's watching it. | ||
| That's why they canceled the the the networks canceled or don't want to put it up on primetime because nobody's watching and nobody cares. | ||
| I want to go to Frank Gaffney. | ||
| Frank, it's some good news, Frank, and here's the thing. | ||
| Steve Cortez just sent me breaking news out of Illinois. | ||
| Ken Griffin, who spent $40 million on this bogus guy who was trying to Democrat. | ||
| There's a poll out, I think it's Febreze, a new poll, Illinois GOP-Gov survey, shows Bailey at 37, Sullivan at 17, Irvin, who's the Ken Griffith guy, at 14. | ||
| Ken Griffith's a hedge fund billionaire. | ||
| Carl Rose, the guy who works for him, he wants to have his way in the Republican Party. | ||
| He put $40 million in Irvin. | ||
| Irvin's at 14% because he's been exposed by Steve Cortez, who traveled around and War Room. | ||
| We're very proud of this. | ||
| Griffin announces today, guess what? | ||
| He's packing up shop and heading to Miami, leaving Illinois. | ||
| Don't go away mad. | ||
| Just go away, Ken Griffin. | ||
| Now, you've got other of these oligarchs, Wall Street oligarchs. | ||
| I want you to take your time to walk through what's been developing in the last couple of days directly related to our national security, Frank Gaffney. | ||
| Steve, as you know from your time on Wall Street, a place that has been a focus of what the Chinese call their elite capture is the cadre of, quote, old friends, as Professor Ding Dong Sheng revealed. | ||
| They called them last December. | ||
| And those old friends now are not simply on Wall Street calling in the plays as to What the administration needs to do to enrich their friends in China. | ||
| They've actually populated the administration itself with people who are old friends of China, both of the Wall Street kind and other varieties. | ||
| Of course, we talk a lot about Joe Biden. | ||
| We talk about Tony Blinken and Jake Sullivan and Avril Haines and Bill Burns. | ||
| These are all prominent national security subordinates of the president, of course, the old man himself. | ||
| And if that were the extent of it, it would be a disaster. | ||
| But it's not. | ||
| A company called BlackRock that you have focused a lot of attention on quite properly, led by a fellow by the name of Larry Fink, what could be a more appropriate name, | ||
| has been putting into place senior executives of this company that has played the leading role in migrating between, depending on who you talk to, three and six trillion dollars from American investors into Chinese Communist Party front companies. | ||
| Now, Let me give you a couple of names in that category. | ||
| Brian Deese is the director of the National Economic Council, former senior BlackRock executive. | ||
| Wally Adeyemo, now the deputy secretary of Treasury and a former, I think, chief of staff to Larry Fink at BlackRock. | ||
| But the latest addition just announced is the new chairman of the Foreign Policy Advisory Board of the Department of State. | ||
| And this is an advisory role, to be sure, but it will have considerable influence, you can bet, over the kinds of policies that old Tony Blinken will be shaping and pursuing as part of his campaign of cooperation and competition with the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| So who did they pick? | ||
| Well, I'm sorry to disappoint, but evidently, Hunter Biden wasn't available. | ||
| But they did find a guy who was approximately as compromised, I would say, a fellow by the name of Tom Donilon, who was Barack Obama's national security advisor, presided over Joe Biden and the Obama team, surrendering the South China Sea to the Chinese Communist Party. | ||
| These are the guys who are actively working with the Chinese now to get still more money into their coffers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Notably, Steve, we haven't talked about this in a while. | |
| Hang on a second. | ||
| Hang on a second. | ||
| You'll get to that in a second. | ||
| I've got to go back in time. | ||
| This is important because people have to have this reference. | ||
| Biden was put in charge of the pivot to Asia. | ||
| Biden was put in charge. | ||
| The two things he was supposed to take care of immediately was the demilitarization of the South China Sea to stop them building these islands, these atolls that are essentially stationary aircraft carriers. | ||
| In addition, stop the cyber attacks on our companies that were taking What is it? | ||
| Six hundred billion dollars a year? | ||
| Six hundred billion dollars a year every year in intellectual property. | ||
| Biden was put in charge of both of those. | ||
| Tom Donilon was his guy on that. | ||
| And that's what they were doing. | ||
| Tell me how successful that was with the Donilon-Biden basically kowtowing to the Chinese Communist Party back then. | ||
| Well, it was a wild success for the Chinese Communist Party, of course. | ||
| And not only that, Steve, but one of the other things that came through in roughly this period when Donald was at the NSC was a deal that Joe Biden personally shepherded through the bureaucracy to give those Chinese Communist Party companies. | ||
| And we're talking about companies in some cases that work directly for the People's Liberation Army or for the surveillance or, you know, genocide camps. | ||
| I mean, these are the worst of the worst, as well as the ones that just work for the CCP itself. | ||
| Joe Biden engineered this deal, this memorandum of understanding in May of 2013, whereby the Chinese got preferential access to our capital markets. | ||
| So all that three to six trillion dollars isn't just flowing their way. | ||
| It's part of a deal that allows them to ignore the accounting and transparency and governance regulations and laws of the United States. | ||
| And you know what else happened a little later that year, Steve? | ||
| I think it was December of 2013, if I'm not mistaken. | ||
| Oh, Hunter and Joe, go to Beijing and pick up a cool $1.5 billion. | ||
| Call it a commission on the incredible value of that MOU for these guys. | ||
| And Tom Donilon is part of this. | ||
| He is now going to be presiding over it in this new capacity. | ||
| You put Adeyamo, you put these fellow travelers and people deeply compromised by the Chinese Communist Party, and what does it add up to, my friend? | ||
| There's a word for it. | ||
| Well, the technical term is aiding and abetting, but the express The definition of aiding and abetting our enemy is treason. | ||
| And I believe that's what we're looking at. | ||
| Hang on one second, Frank. | ||
| We've got a very special guest in studio. | ||
| Maura Monahan's finally made it. | ||
| Tom Donilon, what happened? | ||
| Larry Fink, BlackRock, give us your thoughts. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I agree with what Frank said. | |
| It is a gift to the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP. | ||
| This is a man who works at BlackRock, one of the largest investment funds in the world. | ||
| Are we picking on BlackRock? | ||
| You know, Gaffney and I are on them all the time. | ||
| You're one of the leading anti-CCP voices. | ||
| You're a major columnist in papers in India. | ||
| You're revered there. | ||
| You're a hardcore anti-CCP. | ||
| Are we going after Larry Fink and BlackRock too hard about what they've done as a junior partner to the CCP? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I don't think it's possible to go after BlackRock hard enough. | |
| And I thank you in the war room for at least letting Americans know what's happening to their pension funds, that their pension funds are funding the People's Liberation Army, which is set to make multiple strikes in Asia very soon, right before the midterms, in time to cape global disruption. | ||
| Which will play right into Biden's hands, of course. | ||
| And Indian TV is just absolutely roasted sect-deaf Austin for the Shangri-La summit. | ||
| We can get into that more in detail. | ||
| No, tell us about that right now, because we're burning time and I've got to get to that. | ||
| That's very important. | ||
| Tell us what happened at Shangri-La. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes, it's very important and it's received virtually no coverage in the United States. | |
| It happened at June 11th and 12th in Singapore. | ||
| The annual Shangri-La conference, it was cancelled for the last two years because of CCP virus. | ||
| SecDef Austin gave a very weak, meandering speech. | ||
| He was absolutely roasted by Asian media. | ||
| However, his counterpart, General Wei, a senior general in the People's Liberation Army, gave a vicious, extremely pointed speech where he said, and I quote, We require the U.S. | ||
| to stop smearing and containing China, stop harming China's interests. | ||
| If you want confrontation, we will fight to the end. | ||
| The PLA will not flinch. | ||
| We resolutely commit to crush Taiwanese independence. | ||
| If anyone dares to secede Taiwan from China, we will fight at all costs. | ||
| We will fight to the end. | ||
| Why is the mainstream media here in the United States, that's a complete throwdown, and why is the U.S. | ||
| media not picking that up? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Because I suppose they've taken millions of dollars in advertising revenue from the CCP and they've been muzzled. | |
| Has Tom Friedman written a column about that? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I haven't noticed, have you? | |
| I have not. | ||
| Frank Gaffney. | ||
| How important was this? | ||
| Listen, Blinken in Alaska, Jake Sullivan in Rome, right? | ||
| Biden on the phone with Xi. | ||
| They show him no respect whatsoever. | ||
| The reason they show him no respect, Mara Monaghan and Frank Gaffney, is they know their compromise. | ||
| And that's what they do to people that they've bought. | ||
| Frank Gaffney. | ||
| It's, look, it's one thing to not show respect. | ||
| It's another to be unmistakably contemptuous, Steve. | ||
| And that's what they are doing. | ||
| We did a wonderful seminar, a webinar of our committee on the present danger of China with your help last week on how not to deter China. | ||
| And we had Brad Thayer, we had Captain James Finnell, we had Steve Moser talking about what the Chinese are making of all of this. | ||
| And you can bet what they're making is they can have their way with us. | ||
| They know they've got these American leaders completely, yes, compromised and neutralized, and they can do what they want. | ||
| Not just, unfortunately, to Taiwan, but each of these three experts agreed they will be coming after us, our assets, our personnel, our territory, in fact, when that war comes. | ||
| Frank, I'm going to ask you to stay through the break and ask Maura, she just got here, to stay through real quickly. | ||
| Asian media, you said they were all over and covered it brutally. | ||
| What'd they say? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, especially in the Indian media, there was a great deal of alarm about SecDef Austin's, what they called, strategic ambiguity. | |
| On one hand, he said, we support the Taiwan Act, but we are firmly committed to the one China policy. | ||
| And you can read these speeches online if you just, you know, do an internet search on the Shangri-La Summit. | ||
| And his speech was Miranda-ing us all over the place about inclusivity and equity and all this nonsense, which has nothing to do with military theory, as you know, since you served in the U.S. | ||
| Navy. | ||
| But General Wei's speech was hardcore. | ||
| We run the show. | ||
| We run Asia. | ||
| If you try to cross us, we will hit you hard, as the Chinese Communist Party likes to use a phrase called, strike hard. | ||
| We're going to strike hard. | ||
| Strike hard. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| Laura Monaghan, one of the leading voices in the anti-Chinese Communist Party, is with us in the studio. | ||
| We've got Frank Gaffney. | ||
| Short commercial break. | ||
| Be back in a warm in just a moment. | ||

| Okay, Ken Griffin put $40 million into Illinois. | ||
| He's getting blown out there. | ||
| So you can stand up to these hedge fund oligarchs like we're going to do to Larry Fink. | ||
| Get back to Gaffney in a second. | ||
| India. | ||
| Do they feel like the United States, they're our most important ally over there. | ||
| They're the key that picks the lock. | ||
| Do they feel we've abandoned them against the Chinese Communist Party? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, absolutely, especially since the catastrophic retreat from Kabul in August of 2021. | |
| The chief of the Indian Army said, how could we ever trust the United States again? | ||
| And America and India have struggled to form a stronger partnership. | ||
| India is the world's largest democracy. | ||
| India is the world's most powerful, America's most powerful democracy. | ||
| And now they're seeing the Biden administration capitulate to the CCP again and again. | ||
| And one very important issue I'd like to raise, because it's getting zero coverage in American media, is the meltdown of countries surrounding India that have taken CCP Belt and Road loans, Belt and Road Initiative loans. | ||
| That would be Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal. | ||
| Now, Pakistan's economy is in a free fall. | ||
| They just took a $2 billion loan from the CCP. | ||
| They won't be able to pay it back. | ||
| So Indian intelligence has just announced this morning of a plan that to pay back this loan, Pakistan is going to give China part of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, the Gilgit region, which is technically Indian territory. | ||
| It's disputed territory. | ||
| This goes back to The very provocative visit that Ilhan Omar made last month to POK, Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, from Pakistan. | ||
| And so if this happens, this could trigger military conflict in South Asia. | ||
| This is the second, outside the South China Sea, this is the second, forget eastern border Ukraine, up there in Kashmir is the most volatile area of the world where you could start a third world war. | ||
| Do you agree? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely 100%. | |
| And if this should happen, if Pakistan does hand over Gilgit to the People's Liberation Army, that also strengthens their fortifications along the Indian border. | ||
| It expands their ability to project force, especially since Biden gave them Bagram Air Base. | ||
| What does India want to see from the United States right now? | ||
| What do they want to see? | ||
| people are being exterminated in CCP concentration camps that would make a Nazi proud. | ||
| What does India want to see from the United States right now? | ||
| What do they want to see? | ||
| Because you can tell it's kind of wavering right there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Certainly they would like to see clarity and they would like to see resolution and they're not seeing any of that. | |
| No strategic ambiguity? | ||
|
unidentified
|
No strategic ambiguity. | |
| They say that again and again. | ||
| I mean, Donald Trump is extremely popular in India. | ||
| His Howdy Modi event was an enormous success and I was living in India, Nepal and Thailand the first three years of Trump's presidency and he was hailed as a hero because of what he did in Korea and for standing up to the CCP. | ||
| And I remember the day that tariffs were announced in July of 2018. | ||
| All the newspapers all over Asia were hailing the United States for finally using the money card to stand up to the CCP. | ||
| The tariffs. | ||
| Frank Gaffney, let's go back to, I want to go back to Larry Fink. | ||
| Mara knows this crowd very well because they're Democrats. | ||
| Not Democrats like her dad was, which was a hardcore anti-communist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| Just two quick introductory points. | ||
| Talk to me about Donald again and about Larry Fink and how this is essentially infiltration. | ||
| This is Chinese Communist Party money washed and laundered back into the United States political process, sir. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Just two quick introductory points. | ||
| One, Maura is a reflection of the best of her dad, and we're delighted to have her as one of our leading members of our committee on the present danger of China, Steve. | ||
| She's an enlightened woman. | ||
| By the way, I was with a bunch of them in Northern California, deep behind enemy lines, mind you, and discovered a very powerful detachment of the posse there who were very hot about the work that they were doing. | ||
| Hold it! | ||
| A female detachment of the posse in Northern California behind enemy lines? | ||
| We're giving them a shout out right now. | ||
| All female. | ||
| All female, indeed. | ||
| Anyway, back to Donalyn. | ||
| The Valkyries. | ||
| And, you know, you're looking at deep penetration and subversion of our country. | ||
| Not just our economy, not just, you know, the financial sector. | ||
| It's of the country. | ||
| And it's being done by this operation, BlackRock. | ||
| I think Larry Fink is properly thought to be the most powerful, least accountable, and therefore most dangerous man in the country. | ||
| And we've got to fix this, Steve, because unfortunately The Chinese are not only being emboldened by what they're seeing, they are being enabled to pursue precise... And unfortunately, it won't just be parts of Kashmir. | ||
| It's gonna be... | ||
| I think the world that they're going to settle on as the only thing that they will accept. | ||
| And we have to... Hang on. | ||
| I'm going to come back about the Thirst Savings Plan in a second, but Tony Blinken, you know him well. | ||
| Is he the type of tough hombre we need at this time in what's happening geopolitically? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, do you remember the Alaska summit last year when Tiger Yang snarled at him all about America's failings? | |
| And his response was, America's not perfect. | ||
| You're saying that to a country that is exterminating the Uyghurs, that has already committed multiple genocides on its people, and has a concentration camp and black jail system that is said to have 10 million people in it? | ||
| They despise weakness, right? | ||
| And they see that we're weak right now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely! | |
| Frank, real quickly, to get to the Threat Sensing Plan, everything you do on the Committee on Present Danger, where do people go? | ||
| You can weigh in yourselves by going to KnowTSP. | ||
| for ccp that allow you with the click of a mouse to register your opposition to what black rock is doing managing these funds of the the federal and retirees including our military personnel but also no that your money probably as well is being impacted because if you've got money in pension funds or you know for one k plans or exchange traded funds or index funds are mutual | ||
| Your money is being migrated by people like Larry Fink and BlackRock to enable our enemies, our mortal enemies, and the death threats that they are now increasingly making directly at us. | ||
| Okay, real quickly, how do people get to your writings? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| My website is moramoynihan.net. | ||
| I'm a getter at moramoynihan1. | ||
| And there's just one thing I'd like to say. | ||
| I cannot say this enough. | ||
| We are in year four of the CCP's declared People's War on the United States. | ||
| I lived through and documented the CCP's People's War on the Kingdom of Nepal, which they won, and no one took seriously. | ||
| And we have to remember we're at war. | ||
| Hang on, 6 o'clock we're going to have some breaking news on this framework at the FDA. | ||
| You want to stick around for it. |
