If MAGA Republicans get back in power, your rights, benefits, and freedoms will be in danger. | |
exceptions. Medicare and Social Security will end in five years with no replacement. Elections will be decided by politicians with no regard for your vote. If MAGA Republicans get back in power, your rights, benefits, and freedoms will be in danger. Democrats will protect your rights and the only way to stop MAGA Republicans is to vote for Democrats.

A quick programming note, join CNN's Drew Griffin for a new investigation into Steve Bannon and his master plan to reshape the U.S. | ||
government and the Republican Party and, indeed, the United States. | ||
The CNN special report, Steve Bannon, Divided We Fall, begins at 8 p.m. | ||
Eastern on Sunday evening. | ||
Okay, welcome. | ||
We're in the War Room. | ||
It's Wednesday, 13 July, Year of the Roar 2022. | ||
Of course, the burning dumpster fire that is the illegitimate Biden regime's economy set record numbers on inflation today, CPI at 9.1%. | ||
We've got Dave Brat, and Dave Brat's going to be in studio here shortly. | ||
And of course, the great Steve Cortez. | ||
We're going to break all that down. | ||
But we're able to get some time on a very special guest. | ||
We want to open with Congressman Lauren Boebert from Colorado, her new book, My American Life, and man, I got to tell you, on a day like today when, and we started, that's a new super PAC that Democrats have to scare everybody, right? | ||
So, My American Life, I always read the books before the guests come on. | ||
One, I love books and I try to have respect for the person as an author and also the story. | ||
But normally when I get a book, particularly on the life part of it, I kind of flip through real speed, read, bop, bop, bop, bop, bop, get to the heart of a politician or anything like that. | ||
I was so incredibly blown away by your story. | ||
I actually went back, whoa, whoa, whoa, let me go back and check. | ||
It's a modern American life that you fight through in a very hardscrabble situation, but have very classic American values. | ||
Tell us about it. | ||
Yes, so I was actually born in Orlando, Florida. | ||
My mom was a single mom. | ||
We lived with her parents, my grandparents. | ||
I call them Granny and Papa. | ||
It's noted in the book. | ||
When I was about four years old, Mom got a wild hair and decided to move to Colorado with a guy that she met. | ||
We went to Colorado on a Greyhound bus, and my mom decided to bring her very pregnant friend along for the ride, which meant that... You were four years old. | ||
I was four years old. | ||
I know you love your mother. | ||
Yes. | ||
Your grandparents were essentially, in your formative year, kind of your parents. | ||
Yes. | ||
That's why it's an American, modern American life. | ||
Yes. | ||
I know you love your mom. | ||
I do. | ||
But in reading the story, just make an observation, at a young age, in her teenage years, she might not have had the best judgment about men. | ||
Right. | ||
I don't think that she did. | ||
She still doesn't! | ||
So my mother, our relationship is so fun. | ||
I am more like her mom nowadays. | ||
I try to raise her right. | ||
I'm the one who tries to keep her in line and tell her to make good choices. | ||
So, hold on, she meets this guy, she actually has a boy named Jimmy in the book, who's an entrepreneur, and they're hot and they're cold. | ||
Yes, a very responsible man, a business owner, entrepreneur, right, very responsible. | ||
And of course, obviously, she doesn't like that part, too stable, too stable. | ||
She meets Mike, right? | ||
It's somehow in Florida, and he invites her out to Colorado. | ||
Then starts the journey, and it's kind of like a movie. | ||
You're four years old, so you're tiny, and you're not a big, so you're tiny. | ||
I'm sure you were a tiny four. | ||
Right, and sassy. | ||
I'm sure there's a lot of mouth there, right? | ||
Hold it, so hold it. | ||
It's you, your mom, who's a little crazy, and she's 21 at the time, or 22? | ||
unidentified
|
23, 22, 22, yeah. | |
A young 22. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And her pregnant, and she invites her, as a wingman, she invites her pregnant friend. | ||
How pregnant is her? | ||
Because the bus trip, the friend keeps getting sick. | ||
So you've got to stop and get off the bus and like let the bus go and take another bus. | ||
Exactly. | ||
Yes. | ||
So it's not just get off at a regular bus stop, stretch your legs and get back on the bus. | ||
No, she couldn't get back on the bus. | ||
So we would wait for another bus that's going towards the West. | ||
unidentified
|
And going to Colorado, you're going through some of the, you know, Texas, West Texas, etc. | |
But here's the kicker. | ||
And I got to tell us the right way. | ||
There's a time you get off the bus because the pregnant sidekick is sick with morning sickness or whatever, and you're four years old, and your mom says, hey look, I gotta get to college. | ||
Mike's there, and I gotta close. | ||
I gotta always be closing. | ||
Listen, your mom takes off and leaves you with the sick pregnant friend. She left me with a friend. Yes. The sick, hold on, not just a friend, a sick pregnant. I'm sitting there, that's when I said, I got to read every line of this. | ||
Yes. Because it's like a movie. If you had pitched that in Hollywood, they would say, no, no, no, no, no, it's too over the top. Yes. Is that true? That is very true. | ||
So the friend was actually begging me. | ||
She said, please don't leave me, Lauren. | ||
I need somebody to stay with me. | ||
unidentified
|
The pregnant woman was begging the four-year-old. | |
Not my mom. | ||
unidentified
|
You can go. | |
That's real leadership. | ||
At four years old. | ||
At four years old. | ||
Yeah. | ||
Oh, she wants a mom. | ||
OK, you go to Colorado. | ||
I want the kid. | ||
Yes, and so one vivid memory that I have about that bus ride when it was she and I together on this Greyhound bus, on multiple Greyhound buses, I always tucked my feet in under my grandparents, mainly my granny. | ||
She would let me tuck my feet under her. | ||
And so, you know, I'm trying to get comfortable on the bus and I go to tuck my feet under her and she lost it. | ||
She's like, get your feet away from me. | ||
And I was like, whoa, nobody's ever told me no before. | ||
I don't know what to do in this situation. | ||
I mean, to this day, I took my feet under my husband. | ||
Like that's where my feet go. | ||
And she wouldn't let me do it. | ||
And I was like, I've made a terrible decision. | ||
Why am I on this bus with this woman? | ||
unidentified
|
Why did I sign up to shabba? | |
Hold it. | ||
She's asked you to stay with her. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
You do the feet tuck in when you get back in the bus and she freaks out. | ||
She freaked out. | ||
She wouldn't let me do it. | ||
Yeah, and I didn't know how to respond to that. | ||
No one had ever told me I couldn't do that. | ||
But it took a couple of days and we eventually got to Colorado. | ||
To a one-bedroom. | ||
It's not a ranch and tell-you-ride. | ||
Right, right. | ||
It's not a ranch and tell-you-ride. | ||
He might have pitched it that way, but it's a one-bedroom apartment. | ||
Yes, two-bedroom, one-bath. | ||
Two-bedroom, one-bath, but he's got dogs. | ||
Two big dogs, a Rottweiler and a Doberman. | ||
Of course. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
Naturally. | ||
And you're a midget. | ||
Yes, the dogs were towering me. | ||
I don't want to give it too much away. | ||
It is an amazing read about modern America and really your grandparents instilled in you incredibly classic values, really. | ||
And the whole story is the arc of your life. | ||
And here's what's so beautiful about it. | ||
You are over the target, because I think even worse than Trump and myself, and I would put myself in the top five, you're the leader. | ||
They're coming after you. | ||
unidentified
|
Hard. | |
They're making up stuff. | ||
No, hard. | ||
And they hate you so much. | ||
Because I was supposed to be one of them. | ||
Tell me about that. | ||
My mom actually fell prey to these Democrat policies. | ||
Things got really rough in Colorado, and she turned to the Democrat Party for answers. | ||
But she believed their lies. | ||
She believed that the Democrat Party can lift you out of poverty, can help you raise your kids, can put food on the table, can take care of your living situation, and that this would be the best way forward. | ||
So getting into the story a little bit more, Colorado wasn't the dream that we thought it was going to be. | ||
And my mom's then boyfriend, became husband, was very abusive. | ||
And so there was a lot of alcohol, drug abuse, physical abuse. | ||
And my mom was stuck. | ||
She tried to hide that often and make things seem like it was great. | ||
She would call her parents and say, no, everything's wonderful. | ||
Colorado is a dream. | ||
And you were sitting there, you could see the lies and the misrepresentations. | ||
Because I was there for all of it. | ||
I never left my mom's side and so every fight I was present for and actually reading the audiobook. | ||
Why did it not scar you? | ||
Why did you come at the exact opposite? | ||
Because so many people today, some of you see this all the time, they're so damaged by that they can't get past it. | ||
Right. | ||
So we had to get forward. | ||
When times get tough, you get tougher. | ||
So this was something my mom and I, we talked about my entire life. | ||
We always talked about the fights and how to move forward from it. | ||
And you know, she's like, I would leave, but I can't leave. | ||
Then she later had children with him. | ||
I have four brothers by him. | ||
And And so it was just always something else to keep her stuck there. | ||
And so we just built our relationship stronger. | ||
We were there for each other. | ||
And even though things were bad around us, we had each other. | ||
And that's really just formed our relationship moving forward. | ||
And then knowing that I didn't want that for my children later, you know? | ||
Yes, no, you've gone to the exact... You took the lessons that this will never happen. | ||
Exactly. | ||
This family will be hermetically sealed. | ||
Yes. | ||
And actually, when I was reading the audiobook, that's the first time I got emotional about that part of my story. | ||
Really? | ||
I've lived it. | ||
I've talked about it. | ||
We've joked about it. | ||
Even when you wrote it, you didn't get emotional? | ||
When you had to read it? | ||
When I had the headphones on, I'm reading my story. | ||
I hear myself reading the story. | ||
It took me more than an hour to get through that chapter. | ||
I'm a mom of four boys. | ||
I do not cry. | ||
I do not cry. | ||
And I was completely wrecked reading that. | ||
No crying in a war room. | ||
That's right. | ||
There's no crying in Congress. | ||
But I could see the violence. | ||
I could see my mom's tears. | ||
I could hear her. | ||
I remember her, the cover-ups and trying to pretend like everything was fine. | ||
I remember going into her room. | ||
I think she had just given birth to my second brother. | ||
And I remember going to her, still called her mommy at that time, and I said, Why don't you smile anymore? | ||
And that was when she realized that she was in a deep depression and needed to do something. | ||
And she said, no matter what, I'm going to have joy. | ||
No one is going to steal my joy. | ||
And she's been happy ever since then. | ||
My mom is the most joyful person you will ever meet. | ||
Really? | ||
Yes. | ||
Because of work on herself. | ||
Yes, joy is her strength, and it certainly shows. | ||
In fact, I'll be bored at my house with my friends, and I'll call my mom and say, Mom, will you come over here and make us laugh? | ||
And she will. | ||
What has faith done in this process? | ||
Your faith is a central part of you. | ||
Tell us about that. | ||
Yes, so my faith is absolutely my foundation. | ||
My grandparents instilled that in me at a very young age, but I didn't grow up going to church. | ||
We went every now and then, you know, kind of... Your mom didn't strike me in the books as being churchy. | ||
Yeah, you know, we would go for Easter because that's what you do, you know. | ||
But I actually, I was born again at a very young age. | ||
I remember that. | ||
I was actually four years old. | ||
I was in Florida and it was Sister Charlotte. | ||
She was giving an altar call message and she said, come real close, you know, we'll pray and Jesus will live in your heart forever. | ||
And I was afraid to go close because Sister Charlotte had a mustache. | ||
And I was like, I don't want to get too close to you, Sister Charlotte. | ||
And now, you know, I battle my own mustache. | ||
So God will not be mocked. | ||
Whatever a man sows, he will reap. | ||
So don't make fun of women with mustaches, little girls. | ||
But I had that experience, and I remember just thinking, man, Jesus lives in my heart. | ||
He's probably really bored in there. | ||
He doesn't have much to do. | ||
I wouldn't want to live in someone's heart. | ||
And the next 20 years of my life, I didn't really know what that meant to be saved. | ||
And I started going to church, reading my Bible, and I just had this revelation that salvation is for here. | ||
It's for now. | ||
It's not just a ticket to heaven. | ||
There's grace that empowers you, that enables you, that strengthens you, that the Holy Spirit is your guide. | ||
Does that inform your work that you do here? | ||
Does that inform your work in Congress? | ||
I think so. | ||
I mean, how can you be a Christian and not apply that to your values, to your votes, and the decisions that you're making? | ||
They flip down on you and say that you're a theocrat, that you're American Taliban. | ||
You essentially won all decisions. | ||
A little Adam Kinzinger. | ||
Isn't he adorable? | ||
And he cries afterwards, right? | ||
I don't think Kinzinger could handle the four-year-old Lauren Goldberg. | ||
I don't think so. | ||
I would love for them to meet, though. | ||
No, I don't think so. | ||
But let's talk about that. | ||
It informs your life, obviously. | ||
You live your religion. | ||
But answer his things that you're American Taliban, that you're a theocrat. | ||
So I'm certainly not a theocrat. | ||
We don't need a state church, you know. | ||
That's not what our... Not working out for England too much, right? | ||
No, no, it's not. | ||
But we do have that freedom of religion and our country was founded on Judeo-Christian values. | ||
When the Denver Post called and said, she's a theocrat and she wants, she doesn't want separation of church and state. | ||
There shouldn't be God in any of this and, you know, it was brought to their attention. | ||
The Constitution has God all over it. | ||
And they said, no, no, no, it says, we the people, not God, it's about the people. | ||
Oh, you mean the same paragraph that says that our inalienable rights come from our Creator, come from God? | ||
And so we were founded on these Judeo-Christian values, and we've just got so far away from that. | ||
And then, I mean, Jefferson with his separation of church and state, that's not in the Constitution. | ||
That frustrates me so badly. | ||
That is not, that's a letter. | ||
That was a letter, and Democrats ignorantly say this is in the Constitution, separation of church and state, and they don't know what it means, and they think that that means you can't talk about God. | ||
Well, if there really is this separation of church and state like they believe it means, well, then what is Ilhan doing with her ajivan? | ||
I mean, why is she able to go in there with that? | ||
I mean, why aren't they shouting that from the rooftops, separation of church and state? | ||
Can you hang on for a few minutes? | ||
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
We'll go through the break. | ||
We'll keep Congressman Boebert for a few more minutes talking about the book, An American Life, which is my American life, which is out, I guess, as of yesterday. | ||
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
You can get it on Amazon or I don't know if Barnes & Noble will be putting it at the front of the store. | ||
You might have to go into the stacks. | ||
Go into the basement. | ||
unidentified
|
Go into the basement of politics and look in the bees. | |
Yeah, maybe it hasn't been unpacked yet. | ||
Okay, we're going to take a short break. | ||
We're going to later. | ||
We've got Dave Brat in standby, Steve Cortez. | ||
A lot of economic news to go through. | ||
Dr. Malone is going to join us. | ||
I've got Jerome Revere, a member of the European Parliament, is going to join us in the second hour. | ||
We're going to talk about everything that's going on over there to fight medical tyranny. | ||
Macron had a massive defeat yesterday by the Front National. | ||
I guess they call it National Rally today. | ||
Okay, short commercial break. | ||
Be back with Congressman Bowman in the War Room in a moment. | ||
unidentified
|
Okay, on a day in the war room when you have 9.1% CPI, the biggest in 40 years, and I'm talking about a kid's bus ride across the United States, that's how mesmerizing this book is. | |
Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
Okay, on a day in the war room and you have 9.1% CPI, the biggest in 40 years, and I'm talking about a kid's bus ride across the United States of God, that's how mesmerizing this book is. | ||
No, but here's why you got to read the book. | ||
My American Life. | ||
Congressman Boebert is going to be a player here for a while. | ||
She's tough as boot leather and she's pure MAGA. | ||
The Democrats ought to read this. | ||
Because they read this, I think they're going to give up. | ||
You're impervious. | ||
If you combine how you were as four years old and raised, coupled in your traditional values of your grandparents, and all the madness you went through, and came out like you are, coupled with your faith, There's nothing they can do to you. | ||
That's exactly right. | ||
You're essentially bulletproof, right? | ||
Yes. | ||
Well, because my value is not defined by what the Democrats say about me, about the false headlines. | ||
That is not where I get my value from. | ||
My value comes from my creator. | ||
And I would much rather the person, the one who created me, tell me what I'm worth, not CNN. | ||
But, you know, it's interesting. | ||
The Democrats should read this story. | ||
They want to come after me. | ||
The politics of personal destruction have been in full force. | ||
Uh, since I announced that I was running for Congress, you know, they plastered my, my mug shots for a hundred dollar traffic ticket all throughout my rural district. | ||
Um, they, they've been coming after me personally. | ||
And then of course, just lying about other things, um, for the past three years. | ||
So they need to read my story, my American life, um, to, to get an insight into this, but they hate me because I am supposed to be one of them. | ||
I was raised under their failed policies. | ||
My mom believed those lies, but it was a cycle of poverty that we were stuck in. | ||
That caused me to stand in line for bread, for government cheese. | ||
And to look around and say, is this us? | ||
Is this the American dream? | ||
To pay for food with Monopoly money? | ||
Did you make a decision at that time, even though you were young? | ||
My family was not going to do it. | ||
Yeah, it was a few years later when we moved to Rifle, Colorado on the Western Slope. | ||
I started working at the Rifle McDonald's and it was my first paycheck that I made that decision. | ||
I still remember walking up the stairs to our home and handing my mom my first paycheck. | ||
And I remember the pride and the empowerment of having put my hand to something and creating wealth. | ||
And I knew then that I didn't like FICA, whoever the heck that was, because he was taking all my money. | ||
And that I could do a better job taking care of myself than government ever had. | ||
And so I had determined that I would always do something to create my own way forward rather than sitting back and waiting for a check. | ||
And waiting for a check from the government. | ||
And so that really provoked a lot of other decisions I met my husband, we started our family very young and I knew that I didn't want to go through that path of welfare and so I dropped out of high school. | ||
Another lesson I think you learned though, you got to pick the right guy or you got to focus. | ||
From your mom you said, hey this is a big decision. | ||
Yes. | ||
These decisions are long time decisions. | ||
Yes. | ||
Well, even then, you know, Jason and I, we have grown up together. | ||
So, I mean, there was a young, wild streak there. | ||
And, you know, I talk about some of the things that we went through. | ||
We didn't know how to handle anger and frustration. | ||
And we were both raised, you know, poor and on welfare and just in dysfunctional homes. | ||
You know, he came from a broken family as well. | ||
And so, you kind of handle things the way you have seen them. | ||
But also, you're like, well, wait a second. | ||
I didn't like it then. | ||
This isn't working now. | ||
Let's grow up. | ||
Let's do something different. | ||
You know, now Jason and I, we've been together for 19 years, and it's been amazing. | ||
It hasn't been easy. | ||
It hasn't been perfect, but we're stronger than ever. | ||
That's why it's an American life. | ||
It's a very modern story. | ||
Talk about how do you translate that into Grassroots politics. | ||
And how do you handle the khaki pants and the blue blazers and the Capitol Hill Club? | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
And, you know, the Capitol grill. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Capitol grill and all the dealmaking. | ||
Because this is the imperial city. | ||
Right. | ||
This is this is like Baghdad. | ||
It's a it's a market of trading of favors. | ||
They call it the swamp. | ||
That's too cute a term. | ||
The administrative state dominates this. | ||
And there's really one party up here. | ||
It's the party of money and power. | ||
Right. | ||
And we're going to later talk about the Federal Reserve. | ||
Dave Bratz up here. | ||
We're going to talk a lot about Yes. | ||
Well, I'm not here because of the elitist. | ||
I'm not here because of the establishment. | ||
I'm here in spite of that. | ||
In fact, I even have Republicans in my party saying, this is the way we do things here. | ||
And I say, well, Newsflash, no one likes the way you do things here. | ||
to take power back? | ||
Yes, well I'm not here because of the elitist. | ||
I'm not here because of the establishment. | ||
I'm here in spite of that. | ||
In fact, I even have Republicans in my party saying, this is the way we do things here. | ||
And I say, well, Newsflash, no one likes the way you do things here. | ||
And I came here to do them differently. | ||
I got into this position differently than most politicians do. | ||
It was very grassroots. | ||
I took on a five-term incumbent with no money, but a lot of work and a lot of grit. | ||
And I went and met with the voters of my district, met with the people, created voters in my district. | ||
We had zeros and ones turn out. | ||
People who do not vote showed up in full force to vote for me in my primary against a five-term incumbent. | ||
And that is because I can identify with them. | ||
I know the struggles that they are having. | ||
I was going through the business shutdowns with them. | ||
My business was shut down. | ||
I took a stand and it proved to them, this is where the rubber meets the road and I will walk the walk. | ||
And so I fought for them every step of the way and been a loud voice for them. | ||
But here in Washington, DC, you know, my finance director, she still gets on me because I don't make the fundraising phone calls that you're supposed to. | ||
I don't have the Capitol Hill Club meetings that you're supposed to because I don't wanna make promises to lobbyists. | ||
I don't want to wheel and deal with lobbyists. | ||
I'm here to legislate on behalf of the people to expose the corruption that's going on and to provide a better way forward. | ||
So with that being said, I need some grassroots help. | ||
LaurenForFreedom.com. | ||
Praise the Lord. | ||
Because that's not why I'm here, to be friends with these lobbyists and to be bought. | ||
So many people see this life in Washington, D.C. | ||
and say, whoa, things could be really great if you just do as you're supposed to do. | ||
If you're just a good girl and go along and we can make you a star and we'll put you with the right lobbyists, it'll all be great. | ||
Two things I want to do in the time we got left. | ||
One, how do we put this coalition together and what do people have to do so we give the Democratic Party a shattering blow? | ||
Axios, I've got it on my Getter account right now, Axios has a story today that says the Democratic Party is the party now of the college-educated soy boys and Karens and that the Republican Party has built a working class Hispanic, African-American, but particularly Hispanic is starting to explode. | ||
How do we do this to deliver a death blow to the Democratic Party this November? | ||
Yeah, so we have to get better on messaging. | ||
We have to be able to tell our stories and say why our policies are better. | ||
But we have to show up. | ||
I mean, look, I just had a primary election. | ||
I represent 720,000 people and there was just under 200,000 people that voted. | ||
So we have to show up. | ||
You can't say my vote doesn't count. | ||
It doesn't matter. | ||
We have a responsibility to show up, to support good candidates. | ||
Particularly in Colorado where there's all this craziness out there. | ||
I think Tina Peters' day is going to follow. | ||
We're going to have Lyndell on later. | ||
Even there, people can't give up. | ||
You gotta say, hey, as bad as the system is, you have to show up. | ||
If we don't show up, you're going to lose. | ||
Right. | ||
But also, you're asking me for the plan, but I think CNN is the one who said that you have the master plan to reshape the Republican Party. | ||
unidentified
|
Watch Sunday. | |
Remake America. | ||
But talk to us about after we win, and people have to put their shoulder up. | ||
This is not a given. | ||
Tell me what's going to be different, because everybody you're hearing right now is that it's going to be the same old, same old. | ||
What are you going to drive for in the new Congress? | ||
Investigations, legislation. | ||
What is it that Boebert is going to be at the tip of the spear on? | ||
Yes, well certainly I hope to be on the oversight committee and have this congressional oversight into these hearings and investigations and what's going on in our country. | ||
But I've already been putting pressure on leadership, on other Republicans, that we cannot start acting like Democrats. | ||
That's the only way we lose the midterms is if we start acting like Democrats, if we cave on gun control or infrastructure or any of these ridiculous things that the Democrat Party can't even pass. | ||
You know, there was a time they couldn't even pass a kidney stone and Republicans are like, I'll help you pass it. | ||
Let's spend us further into debt and print more money. | ||
So we have to remain firm on our principles. | ||
People are flooding to the Republican Party because our policies work. | ||
Democrat policies... Do you see that out in Colorado? | ||
Yes. | ||
Absolutely. | ||
And just like you're saying now, working class... Because they tell me, they tell me, they tell me Polis has turned this in. | ||
I mean, this was sourced and Polis is planning to turn that, take a red state and flip it blue. | ||
That's the experiment. | ||
Right, and he did. | ||
Okay, but you're saying now, is there a revolt against that? | ||
unidentified
|
Why? | |
Absolutely. | ||
unidentified
|
Why? | |
Because it's those policies that are failing everyone. | ||
No one can look to the, any policy that a Democrat has put forward and say, man, this is really benefiting my family. | ||
Look at, look at gas prices, $5, $6, $7. | ||
It's difficult. | ||
When you see CPI at 9.1%, 40% highs. | ||
How does that roll back into the life of folks in your district? | ||
Well, it affects their wallets, which affects their mindset and their voting patterns. | ||
And so Democrats are the ones who are in charge. | ||
You cannot blame this on President Trump. | ||
President Trump had an amazing economy and an amazing energy policy. | ||
It came with some mean tweets, but hey, would you rather have the economy of 2019, of the fall and summer and Christmas of 2019, with all the mean tweets, or would you rather have what you got now? | ||
Yeah, definitely. | ||
What do you think in Colorado, with being an energy state, with Joe Biden about to go kowtow, prostate himself to the House of Saud? | ||
What do you think about that? | ||
So, well, in Colorado, we started this before the federal government did. | ||
Jared Polis, Governor Polis, he really started regulating our communities into poverty, drove out the oil and gas industry. | ||
I have a small restaurant in Rifle, Colorado, and I remember when there was mud on the floor, and I had to clean that up, and that was really good for business. | ||
That meant things were going really well when there was mud on the floor to clean up and he has driven all of those workers out and you know they paid for roads, for schools, for hospitals, for fire departments and all of that revenue is gone and they want to raise taxes on the people now. | ||
You're absolutely extraordinary, and in tough times we need tough people, and you've come through with charm and grace, and man, it has been a tough ride. | ||
My American Life is the book. | ||
Congressman Boebert is the author. | ||
It's her story. | ||
How do people get to you, find out more about you? | ||
You find out more about her by reading the book, and you won't put it down. | ||
How do people get to you and your campaign? | ||
So first of all, I love this picture because I'm taller than my six-foot-three husband. | ||
It's amazing. | ||
And I'm taller than all my boys. | ||
Really, they're all taller than me. | ||
Praise the Lord. | ||
So, laurenforfreedom.com. | ||
And then you can find my book at Amazon at walmart.com. | ||
I want you to walk in your local bookstore and say, I want Congressman Boebert's book and then raise holy hell. | ||
And they say, oh, we don't have it. | ||
Yeah, there you go. | ||
And then I've also recorded an audio version. | ||
It's my voice, my story to your ears. | ||
So that was quite a great experience to actually read this story. | ||
Go to Amazon, go to her site, campaign. | ||
She's going to be here for a while and she's got, she punches way above her weight. | ||
unidentified
|
Let's say that. | |
Congressman, thank you so much. | ||
Thank you. | ||
Okay, short commercial break. | ||
We're going to come back. | ||
We've got Dave Brat in the house. | ||
We've got Steve Cortez. | ||
We're going to walk through some absolutely, it's a burning dumpster fire. | ||
That's the illegitimate Biden regime. | ||
By the way, country, how are you dealing? | ||
How do you like the big steal right now? | ||
Is that working out for you? | ||
We're going to talk all about it. | ||
But first we're going to have some big tears from CNBC when we start when we get back in a moment. | ||
unidentified
|
Because we're taking down the CCP. 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 CCP. | |
Because when I look at this report, I don't see any relief anywhere. | ||
Even before we got to this 9.1%, there had been some sectors that were behaving a little bit better. | ||
I look at rents going up. | ||
I didn't see any relief in apparel. | ||
There was some hope, folks, that maybe with the inventory that Courtney Reagan's been talking about at some of the department stores, that you might see some relief in apparel. | ||
Not much there. | ||
You have this unrelenting increase in prices from varying degrees from $0.07 on rent up to 1% on food. | ||
And there's every reason to think this would make the Fed tougher right here, Andrew. | ||
Jim, you're looking at this number. | ||
Fed, we're looking, I was just looking at a tweet by Brian Chung. | ||
Fed funds futures now flashing a 30% chance of a 100 bps move in the FOMC meeting at the end of the month. | ||
unidentified
|
What do you think? | |
No. | ||
When I look at the numbers and I think about what's going to happen in July from the PPI that we're going to get, I like everything. | ||
I mean, food's down. | ||
We know that all the commodities in the food stuff segment are down. | ||
We know that energy's come down. | ||
We know that used cars have come down. | ||
We know that new vehicles are actually not going up, which is surprising. | ||
Shelter's still bad. | ||
We've got rentals that are still up big. | ||
But I think that you'll find from the applications numbers that housing's going to come down. | ||
There isn't anything in these numbers that doesn't indicate peak. | ||
And I'm listening to the people who were on before, and I think that they are dreaming. | ||
I mean, do they not look at the actual commodities? | ||
Are they just looking at some stupid thing that came out of the Labor Department? | ||
I mean, go look at the actual markets. | ||
Everything's come down. | ||
Used cars have come down. | ||
I mean, you can't look at these numbers in a vacuum. | ||
I mean, there's been a tremendous decline since the Fed started tightening. | ||
So if you want to go Volcker, I mean, I lived through the Paul Volcker era. | ||
This is nothing like that. | ||
I mean, where am I going to have that big of a wage inflation? | ||
Look, I want the Fed to do 100. | ||
I've been saying that endlessly. | ||
But I do think that when we actually look at the input commodities, this report was taken at the absolute height. | ||
And I think that we have to think about what's happened since then. | ||
But I'm in the actual markets. | ||
I can't. | ||
Yeah, you're in the actual markets. | ||
We're going to put up your calls, dude. | ||
That's Jimmy by the dip. | ||
I don't know what I'm not. | ||
I shouldn't punch down Cortez. | ||
Help me. | ||
I got Brett Cortez. | ||
Give me, when you got Leesman, the biggest progressive, biggest liberal on Wall Street, he's got the big alligator tears, right? | ||
The crocodile tears. | ||
He sees the end of the Democratic Party right there. | ||
And then Kramer comes on. | ||
Walk me through Jimmy Kramer's analysis versus Steve Cortez's Sir. | ||
unidentified
|
Sure. | |
Well, you know, first, Steve, yes, correct. | ||
You know things are terrible when even Steve Leisman, who is normally a very dependable establishment mouthpiece, when even he is willing to concede how absolutely horrific this report was. | ||
There is nothing to like in this report. | ||
I mean, zero, okay? | ||
And regarding Jim Cramer, look, he has become a clown, unfortunately. | ||
There's a social media site out there that I follow that is the inverse Cramer, and I haven't tracked it diligently, so I don't know for sure. | ||
But it seems like if you do the opposite of everything Kramer says, you're doing pretty darn well in the market right now, the inverse Kramer. | ||
But I think he is really representative of the decline of corporate media, and particularly business media, and even more particularly, CNBC, a network that I worked for for a long time. | ||
And Steve, I think we, and Jim Kramer included, did some really solid broadcasting in years past, really informed investors, invited them into Wall Street, showed them sort of behind the curtain. | ||
That's what Kramer used to do. | ||
It's what CNBC used to do. | ||
And they don't anymore. | ||
It's narrative promotion. | ||
It's emblematic of the overall pollution of corporate media in this country and why you simply can't trust it. | ||
Regarding his supposed market analysis there, look, he talks about the fact that these inflation rates have come down slightly, very slightly, From June into July. | ||
Fine. | ||
And that is welcome. | ||
Of course, we want gasoline to go lower. | ||
We want food prices to go lower. | ||
But here's the point, Steve. | ||
From extremely elevated levels, okay? | ||
So that slight decline is not consequential to most Americans. | ||
And also, he doesn't know that those June highs were a peak. | ||
We may very well go right back there in August or September. | ||
All right? | ||
So he doesn't have a crystal ball. | ||
He can't tell you, oh, that was the high, and we're past the danger zone. | ||
I mean, that's just ridiculous, unrigorous analysis from somebody like Carter. | ||
What is this? | ||
He's cheerleading. | ||
He's not. | ||
He's cheerleading. | ||
Tell us what 9.1%. | ||
And, of course, they open up by saying it was multiple decades. | ||
No, it's 40 years, right? | ||
Multiple decades then. | ||
Cortez, put it in perspective, then I'll go to Bratton. | ||
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
Now, listen, to put this in perspective, Yeah, I think 9.1% actually vastly understates the real inflation that most folks out there are stating. | ||
But even if we take the government's formulation on its own, it's the worst in 41 years. | ||
And the point is, too, when you look at the sub-prices, which we can get into, and I've got some charts on that, If you get into the sub-indices and the actual most important items that people have to buy, and what I refer to as the have-to items, the non-discretionary staples, we are well into double-digit inflation right now. | ||
And I think people know that. | ||
They know that in their regular lives. | ||
So, 9.1 is terrible on its face, Steve, but I think it actually vastly understates the reality out there. | ||
We're going to get to that. | ||
So, let's get the trucks ready, and we'll go to Brett, and I'm going to come back to you to do the undercard. | ||
Yeah, no, Cortez is right, and inflation is disproportionately harmful to the poor, right? | ||
They spend their entire incomes... And the working class. | ||
And the working class. | ||
And Steve's been going over the impact on small business. | ||
But I heard a smart guy out On an economic report. | ||
And he got to the simple, right? | ||
The smartest guys tell the simplest story. | ||
And the story is, the rate's 9.1. | ||
What's the Fed target? | ||
2. | ||
2% is the target. | ||
So if you don't think a recession, right? | ||
That's how much tightening they have to do. | ||
And oops, on the tightening, there's no indicator, right? | ||
We got the M2 graph. | ||
You can Google that. | ||
But it just goes straight up like a rocket ship. | ||
There's no evidence it's coming down. | ||
What Jim Cramer, when he says you can't go Volcker Army, here's what he means. | ||
Volcker had this situation before Reagan got there. | ||
This is with Carter. | ||
He was over in the Oval, and they were talking, these numbers are coming in, and the political guys are freaking out, right? | ||
Volcker walks back, gets the car, goes back to the Fed, the Temple, down there on Constitution Avenue. | ||
You know what he did? | ||
He hit it 500 basis points. | ||
He raised it. | ||
People freaked out. | ||
It was the end of Jimmy Carter. | ||
But he said, to save the country, to save our currency, I have to be bold. | ||
And he says, I just basically saw these clowns in the Oval Office. | ||
You know, all the guys who were with Carter at the time. | ||
and they're flapping around. He raised it 500 basis points. | ||
This is what Dave Brat said a couple months ago. If you look at the real rate where it should be, and you said this two months ago, it should have been 7.2% then, right? If he had done that, you would have choked, you would have started to really choke this down. What you have is Kramer, and these are all political people. | ||
They're not real. They're not, they're not, they don't think economically. | ||
They don't think like business. | ||
They're all cheerleaders. | ||
He's saying, don't go Volcker on me. | ||
Don't give me a big hit, because that's going to crush this economy, but it's going to choke out. | ||
Right now, Cortez, give us the undercard first, because I want to talk about what's going to happen when they get back from August and all these boondoggles and all these junkets, that Boston Globe analysis and the report yesterday on small business. | ||
All small business is going to be cratering, and they're going to come back, and we're going to spend the month of September Let's look at how bad it is, I think, at three levels here, and we have three charts to show this. | ||
talk about is a massive American recovery plan too. | ||
But now they're jammed up because that's going to light the dumps of our, give me the undercard about how bad it is, Cortez. | ||
You bet. | ||
Let's look at how bad it is. | ||
I think at three levels here, and we have three charts to show this. | ||
So we're going to look at the manufacturing level, the small business level, and then the consumer level. | ||
So if we start with chart number one, and this, by the way, I think really belies what, and just completely counters what Kramer was trying to say that, oh, well, we know things are going to get better. | ||
So that chart I'm showing is Manufacturing PMI the purchasing managers index for manufacturers. | ||
So these are mostly big firms And this is a survey of the guys and women who buy the goods for the manufacturers. | ||
Okay, so it's a very good forward-looking indicator. | ||
And that is going back to when Biden took office, manufacturing PMI. | ||
As you can see, it is demonstrably, decidedly going from the upper left to the lower right, unfortunately, on your screen. | ||
I would argue, in fact, that it is crashing right now. | ||
I put that up arrow, though, to show the momentum that Biden inherited. | ||
So, he inherited fantastic momentum of the Trump boom 2.0 as America was aggressively reopening, manufacturing included. | ||
All of that has turned around, all of that given back, and more. | ||
And this also tells me, Steve, with manufacturing floundering like this, this tells me that the supply chain issues are not going to get better quickly, unfortunately. | ||
So, that's big business. | ||
Now, let's go to chart two, which is small business. | ||
And we mentioned yesterday, Steve, That we hit an all-time low on the NFIB, the National Federation of Independent Business, an all-time low on their forward-looking expectations index. | ||
That is terrible news for a survey that goes back almost a half-century. | ||
It's just as bad, though, regarding the current situation. | ||
So, this is just asking businesses not looking forward, but right now. | ||
How's business? | ||
Are you confident? | ||
And right now, unfortunately, we're hitting the lowest levels since 2013. | ||
And on that chart, I show you where Biden took office and what has happened since he took office. | ||
Small business is being decimated. | ||
Why? | ||
Primarily because of inflation. | ||
Small business simply doesn't have the scale and capacity to handle the inflation. | ||
The way some big businesses do. | ||
So now let's go to the third aspect, and final one, which is the consumer. | ||
Let's talk the reality of what consumers are facing, and it is so much worse than 9.1%, particularly for people of middle and lower incomes. | ||
Here's a breakdown of what I mentioned were the half-two items. | ||
Groceries at home, not fine dining out, okay? | ||
Groceries at home, gasoline for your car, and utilities. | ||
I had mentioned previously I was tracking this basket of these three goods, and it was at an astoundingly bad 25%. | ||
Guess what, Steve? | ||
With the new data today, 37% 37% increase for these three items which are not discretionary which every single citizen of the United States needs to purchase cannot live without 37% inflation. | ||
Steve, this isn't just recessionary. | ||
We are teetering upon depressionary type scenarios. | ||
I need you to walk through that number one more time. | ||
Then Brad, jump in. We've got about three and a half minutes. | ||
I need the team to pull this. This is the breaking news we've got. | ||
Walk through this. | ||
Ladies and gentlemen, this is why you're in the war room. | ||
We're about to give you a reality check. | ||
Don't listen to CNBC or Fox Business. | ||
Oh, by the way, none of those people, they don't know investment banking. | ||
They don't know finance. | ||
All a bunch of clowns, okay? | ||
Listen to Cortez, Brett, and Bannon right here. | ||
Hit me, baby. | ||
Because this is why you're going to have a 100-seat pickup this November. | ||
This is what the reality of people are living under. | ||
Cortez, give it to me. | ||
You bet. | ||
So once again, these items, these non-discretionary staples, the half-two items, Of groceries, and I'm using the CPI statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, okay? | ||
This is today's report. | ||
You can fact-check me. | ||
Groceries, up 12%. | ||
Gasoline, up almost 60%. | ||
Utilities, up 38%. | ||
So the average of these three things put together, what Americans have to spend the staples of their life, not luxury items, not discretionary, up 37% over last year, in a year-over-year basis. | ||
Steve, that is staggering and it is stifling to consumers. | ||
It's why Consumer Conference is at an all-time low per the University of Michigan survey that goes back to the 1980s. | ||
By the way, go back to the small business guy, the little guys that own the tchotchke shops and the restaurants, stuff like that. | ||
That's all discretionary spending. | ||
That's why they're sitting there going, they're looking at customers not showing up. | ||
They're looking at not buying the marginal good. | ||
They understand what's to come. | ||
This is why 51% of them say, hey, I'm not going to be around at the end of the year. | ||
35 or something didn't make rent in June. | ||
Yeah, and the transitory part is important. | ||
So now it's not transitory. | ||
We got enough data points. | ||
So now you got wage inflation creeping up, right? | ||
Now the worker's going to say, I need more to live to the boss. | ||
That's going to tighten earnings. | ||
Everybody know that's coming. | ||
When earnings reports come out with a hit, then you got a massive, it's going to be a deep recession. | ||
The New York Fed just said 80% chance now. | ||
They're always the latest to the party, right? | ||
The Fed always gets it wrong. | ||
They're cheerleaders every time. | ||
And we gotta walk and chew gum. | ||
We got a Russia war going on in Ukraine. | ||
We got energy policy that's upside down, that's intertwined with that. | ||
And a report came out of RAND two weeks ago in Bloomberg and said if China goes to war against Taiwan, that's a 5-10% GDP hit on the United States of America. | ||
That is a depression. | ||
Okay, we're going to be in a depression even without it. | ||
That's the end of the world. | ||
Hang on. | ||
We're going to go to break. | ||
Cortez is going to come back. | ||
Cortez is going to tell me about those wages that Brad just mentioned, but I am not here to take a victory lap, but I will refer to the lead story in the Financial Times of London, which ain't the Gateway Pundit. | ||
West fears arms sent to Ukraine end up on Europe's black market. | ||
All of these conservative-ing clowns and cheerleading over at Fox for this Ukraine war, they're taking the billions of dollars that we're sending them, they're putting right on the black market. | ||
And hey, they're going to the highest seller. | ||
The Russians are buying them just like everybody else. | ||
They're taking your hard-earned tax money, the Ukrainian oligarchs and the Ukrainian military. | ||
And this is the EU finally putting the sign up. | ||
Hang on, we got to go to break. | ||

By the way, you gotta tell Kinsey and Cortez, I love the new Getter ad. | ||
Although, Cortez and I don't get shout-outs. | ||
I love this ad much more. | ||
Okay, Cortez, by the way, Axios finally read the memo. | ||
I've got it pinned up on my Getter account. | ||
Axios says a seismic tectonic plate shift that the Republican Party has now gotten the Hispanics and has turned itself into a working class party. | ||
But they said we did quietly. | ||
No, you haven't been paying attention. | ||
Last thing we've been doing is quietly. | ||
But, most importantly, here's the Democratic Party. | ||
It's all the college-educated soyboys and Karens. | ||
By the way, for you white nationalists, all the white nationalists out there, go see, go white nationalists the Democratic Party. | ||
Go check out the white college-educated soyboys and Karens, the Antifa crowd, all that. | ||
You can have it all day long. | ||
unidentified
|
Go. | |
Go white nationalists over there. | ||
Just go do it. | ||
We got Hispanics. | ||
We got blacks. | ||
We have Asians. | ||
We got working-class people. | ||
We're dominant. | ||
We're ascendant. | ||
And here's one of the reasons. | ||
I need to keep you for a few minutes. | ||
You've got to walk through the rest of the line items here because this is what's happening to the American people. | ||
Steve Cortez. | ||
Steve, you're exactly right. | ||
We are building the America First movement. | ||
We're transforming the Republican Party into a coalition of religious voters, faith voters, plus working class people of all races and all ethnicities. | ||
And it's going to dominate politics for decades. | ||
And if the Democrats want to consign themselves to wine moms with graduate degrees, hey, have at it and good luck with that coalition. | ||
So, listen, let's talk about what moms are facing out there, though, in terms of prices and everybody's facing in our society right now, because the devil is in the details, and this report was just an absolute disaster in every way. | ||
Nothing mitigating or redeeming about it. | ||
Here are some of the details that are even worse than the already shocking 9.1% CPI headline number. | ||
Health insurance. | ||
Democrats are supposed to provide healthcare affordably in the country, right? | ||
Health insurance up 17% year-over-year. | ||
17%, Steve. | ||
And by the way, regarding those comps, we're now comparing 2022 to 2021. | ||
2021 was supposed to be a normal year. | ||
In other words, what the Democrats told us and the corporate media said in 2021 as well, when you're using comps, year-over-year comps to 2020, prices were artificially depressed by the lockdown. | ||
So, you know, it just made things look bad for 2021. | ||
They had some justification there. | ||
We now have apples-to-apples comparisons, right? | ||
Of a supposedly normally functioning economy. | ||
So that's up 17%. | ||
New cars. | ||
Do you want to get a new car? | ||
Up 11% year-over-year. | ||
Want to take a trip? | ||
If your flight actually does take off, which many don't. | ||
Airline tickets? | ||
unidentified
|
Up 34%. | |
Let's look at some food items. | ||
Fish, if you want to be healthy, up 11%. | ||
If you like your bacon in the morning, up 12%. | ||
Coffee, cafefe, okay? | ||
I'm a Colombian. | ||
This one really hurts me hard. | ||
Coffee, up 15.8% year-over-year. | ||
By the way, is Joe Biden going to try to blame that on Putin? | ||
Did Russia become a big producer of coffee when I wasn't looking? | ||
Or is that because of his inflationary policies here in the United States? | ||
Cafefe, up 15.8% year-over-year. | ||
All of the items that people need for their lives, whether it's the staples or it's the luxury items, all of it is exploding steam. | ||
And it is a mess that is created by Joe Biden with complicity and with assistance from establishment Republicans, people like Mitch McConnell, who voted for and enabled his massive omnibus behemoth borrowing and spending mess. | ||
And on top of that, the Ukraine escalation. | ||
And they've got the gall to sit there with this Build Back Better fiasco saying, oh, this is what needs to take prices down. | ||
It's a lie. | ||
It's a lie that only the most idiotic can believe. | ||
Cortez, how did people get to all your writings? | ||
How'd they get to you on Getter? | ||
Yeah, please find me on Getter. | ||
I'm very simple there. | ||
They took me out of the commercial, but they gave me the best handle on the platform. | ||
I'm just at Steve. | ||
I don't know how I got that over another prominent Steve, but somehow I did. | ||
And over on Twitter, I'm at Cortez Steve Cortez with an S. Thank you. | ||
Thanks, brother. | ||
Fantastic report. | ||
And Cortez is going to be with us, I think, in studio on Friday. | ||
Talk to me about the Fed. | ||
Yeah, the Fed, I think the most important point is that they always take the side of the stock market and the New York elites, the financial class, not the side of the American middle class. | ||
And how do you see that? | ||
Because go to Goldman or Merrill or Morgan, they're always cheerleading. | ||
The Fed has a thing called the Green Book. | ||
For 50 years, they have failed to call a recession until a month ahead of time, if then. | ||
That's evidence that they're cheerleading. | ||
Bernanke was asked, how's the housing market before it fell off the Grand Canyon? | ||
I mean, literally. | ||
unidentified
|
In 2008. | |
Yes. | ||
And said, it's fine. | ||
These people work for us. | ||
We need to fire them. | ||
No, they don't work for us. | ||
That's the problem. | ||
They're going to work for us when we end the Fed, and we're going to end the Fed. | ||
But I got to go back to... | ||
Yes, you're 100% correct, but they're now in full lies and misrepresentation. | ||
Has the money supply come down? | ||
You've got two things. | ||
You've got all the fiscal stimulus for these massive spending plans, and they're going to have another one come for it. | ||
But you also have the monetary. | ||
They're supposed to be taking liquidity off the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve and increasing the money supply. | ||
Are they doing that day breath? | ||
I went out and read on that, and they don't want that piece. | ||
The tapering or the downsizing of the $9 trillion on their balance sheet. | ||
They don't want that to take over the headlines. | ||
It's the way they word it. | ||
And it's the biggest gobbledygook you ever read. | ||
They say they first got to get the rate structure right before they go to that. | ||
So they were supposed to start that June 1. | ||
right, the $9 trillion on the balance sheet, they're going to do $50 billion hits. | ||
But their Fed funds rate is only 1.5% still, right? And they're going to do 0.75%. So whoop-de-doo, it's at 2.25%. And that is going to cause a recession. | ||
There's no... | ||
And it's still free money. | ||
Yeah. And it's still free. There's no evidence that there's anything... | ||
You know, mortgages and everything like that. | ||
The main point is they should have followed John Taylor. | ||
