Donald Trump’s Virginia rally slams Joe Biden’s debate stumbles—67% of viewers called it a victory—while mocking his age, policy gaffes (like Medicare confusion), and VA failures, including denied benefits for veterans like Nick (hearing loss) and Chris (dismissed injuries). Guest Christopher Neiweem exposes bureaucratic neglect, DEI overreach, and $200B misallocated budgets, while Justin Hicks ties border chaos, inflation, and military decline to "kitchen table" voter concerns. An anonymous VA employee criticizes pride flags and mandatory pronoun policies, calling them "Democrat propaganda," and urges veterans to demand better care—like HUD-VASH vouchers—before a Fourth of July protest goes viral. Trump’s rally frames his return as the only solution to restore veteran rights, border security, and conservative values, while InfoWars pivots to promoting wellness products amid warnings about leftist influence.

Let's go live. Sounds much better looking than him.
Joe Biden's problem is not his age.
It's not his... Anything, really.
He's got no problem other than it's his competence.
He's grossly incompetent.
You know, they keep saying old.
I know people that are much older than him that are doing unbelievable things, making a fortune.
I knew a man that at 79, he was never a success, and he made a billion, billion and a half dollars from 79 to 92.
And that's what it is.
It's not his age. It's his competence.
He's not respected anywhere in the world.
Our country is being laughed at all over the world.
Biden is using the weaponization of his Justice Department, the FBI, local district attorneys and attorneys general to try and win an election against his political opponent.
That happens to be me.
Do you know who I am? Something that actually was unthinkable in our nation, but which is very common in third world countries or in banana republics.
That's what he's doing. He's using law enforcement to try and hurt his political opponent.
Every one of those things last night, you saw that, was all started by this guy, this crooked guy.
And not only crooked, I mean, just so bad in so many ways.
He's killing our country. He's incapable of winning based on his far-left policies of open borders, massive tax increases, the Green News scam.
That's a windmill on every corner, most of which don't work.
And things like putting men in women's sports, really not a great idea.
As every American saw firsthand last night, this election is a choice between strength and weakness, competence and incompetence, peace and prosperity, or war or no war.
They like a war.
They love wars. You know, they love killing people.
It's so wonderful. You know, I'm the only president in many, many decades that didn't start a war.
I finished one, I beat ISIS in record time.
As soon as I left, we had the situation where Russia went into Ukraine.
They would have never done that.
And where Israel's attacked.
And then we had inflation.
And then we had that horrible, horrible event that took place in Afghanistan.
The worst, I think the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
And it's a choice, though, between a president who puts America first or a train wreck who puts America last.
They put America last.
Actually, the Democrats put America last.
You take a look at that. Look at a guy like Senator Schumer.
I've always known him. I've known him a long time.
I come from New York. I knew Schumer.
He's become a Palestinian.
He's a Palestinian now.
Congratulations. He was very loyal to Israel and to Jewish people.
He's Jewish, but he's become a Palestinian because they have a couple of more votes or something.
Nobody's quite figured it out.
A vote for Joe Biden is a vote for failure, surrender, and disaster for our country.
A vote for your all-time favorite president, President Donald J. Trump.
Is a vote for stopping Joe Biden's inflation, stopping the border invasion, and very simply
making America great again.
It will make America great again.
You see these beautiful women?
I'm not allowed to use the term beautiful as a politician.
In fact, it could be the end of my career.
If Glen ever ran against me, he'd say he called women beautiful.
And that could be the end of my career.
But they're beautiful. What am I going to do?
I can't lie. But you see these beautiful women up here?
And the fake news media who have been lying to the American people as our country was being destroyed.
The fake news media.
Look at all of them back there.
Look at all of them. That's a lot of cameras.
That's a lot of camera power.
The Joe Biden on stage yesterday was the same Joe Biden who gave us open borders, crushing inflation, rampant crime, two new wars, a disastrous Afghanistan embarrassment, most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
And the international humiliation, think of it, one after another.
International humiliation, one after another.
Nobody respects him.
Foreign leaders don't respect him.
You know, we put up $124 billion more Why is it that we're not equalized?
Why is it that they put up 124?
Billion dollars, our people, these people in Washington that don't know what the hell they're doing.
You know, I stopped it with NATO. We were spending almost 100 percent of the money for NATO. And I went in my first meeting, I realized, I said, you know, they're not paying their bills, they're delinquent.
My second meeting, I said, you gotta pay.
And they said, well, what would happen if we don't?
The whole world should know that while Biden is the worst president in the history of America, our country is going to be strong again, and it's going to be very soon.
I want the enemies to know that, because we have a five-month transition period.
And I want the enemies to know, don't play around with us during this five-month period.
Don't play around. It's only for them.
It's also from, in all fairness, we have enemies on the outside.
China, Russia, North Korea, enemies.
But they're not really enemies if you have a smart president.
If you have a smart president, they're not enemies.
You'll make them do great.
We had no problems.
China paid us hundreds of billions of dollars.
Hundreds of billions of dollars.
And it was so, because they respected our country.
You know, on that note, let's talk about last night real quickly.
Trump's going to be speaking for, I guess, the remainder of this hour.
So we'll go in and out here.
CNN's polls even had Donald Trump as the winner.
65% said Trump won the debate.
35%, I'm curious what debate they watched.
But that's a CNN poll.
Even leftist polls and leftist news outlets are admitting that Joe Biden lost badly.
And I got all these clips of CNN and MSNBC admitting it.
Even Barack Obama had to make a post today saying, yeah, Joe Biden didn't have a good debate performance, but it's not a problem because he's still not Donald Trump.
So, I mean, they're running all kinds of cover here.
I mean, the ultimate question.
Can Joe Biden even make it?
Or how are they going to remove Joe Biden?
Tell you what, let's look at some of this.
This was Trump.
This was really a bad moment for Joe.
And Trump called him out when he fumbled through a response.
In clip F. I'm going to continue to move until we get the total ban on the total initiative relative to what we're going to do with more Border Patrol and more asylum officers.
unidentified
President Trump? I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence.
Making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the COVID, excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with COVID. We finally beat Medicare.
We're trying to provide housing for black Americans.
The impact on the choice, the idea that they're gonna, I'm not either proposing that.
Everybody, they pay, the millionaires pay 1%, 1%.
So no one after, I've not raised the cost of Social Security for anybody.
I got my handicap, which when I was vice president, down to a six.
And I want us to get rid of the ability of Medicare for the ability for us to be able to negotiate drug prices with the big pharma companies.
What I'm going to do is fix the taxes.
unidentified
For example, we have a thousand trillionaires in America, I mean billionaires in America.
Now the immediate response to the disaster that was Joe Biden last night seems to be
put Jill in front.
I don't really think that plays well, but that's been the case is, okay, let's have Jill out in front now, and maybe she can save face.
And it began immediately after the debate, when Joe couldn't even get off the stage.
He had another one of those moments where he didn't know what to do on the stage, and so Jill had to come grab him by the arm, just like Obama did a couple weeks ago.
And drag him off the stage.
And then he struggled to even go down two steps.
He struggled to go down two steps.
And while Joe Biden was holding his arm, it looked like a Secret Service agent had to come over there and give him extra support.
Two people had to get him down two steps.
I bet CNN is regretting having the camera rolling for this moment in clip eight.
Not the television. We have a lot of television generals.
They're no good. Like Billy.
How about Billy? We had some, like the dumbest of them all, General Kelly.
He didn't know. He was lost in the White House.
That poor guy didn't know what the hell was happening.
He was like a lost, we used to call him a lost soul.
Under the Trump administration, we will not rest until we have found every single radical Islamic terrorist who Joe Biden has let into America.
We will arrest them or we will throw them the hell out of our country immediately and we will not let them back in.
We have no choice. And already, Biden's open-border nightmare has stolen countless innocent lives.
Yesterday in Houston, you read about this, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nunguri was laid to rest by her grieving mother, who I spoke to yesterday, an incredible woman, just devastated.
Literally, I was going up to the debate, and I got the return call from the mother.
And I talked to her, and they're screaming at me, sir, you're going to the debate.
You're going right now, sir.
And I'm on the phone, and I said, I can't.
I might be late. But that's okay.
But I said, I will. I did talk to her, and then I said, I'll speak to you, and I'm going to call her today or tomorrow.
A devastated person.
She was a devastated person.
But her precious daughter became yet another victim of the Biden migrant crime.
People that would have never come in here.
In fact, a lot of these people that you're reading about, we threw them out.
They were gone and they came back under Biden.
Last week, Jocelyn was savagely tied up, viciously assaulted, and brutally murdered by two Biden migrants who Crooked Joe released into the United States to prey on our women and girls.
One of these monsters waited just 20 days before ending Jocelyn's beautiful American life.
Crooked Joe proved last night he has no regret, no remorse, had no idea who she was.
No empathy and no compassion for all the innocent victims whose lives Have been just absolutely destroyed.
And you look at so many of the other young people that you're hearing about, so many of them are young, 13, 12, raped and killed.
13 years old, 12 years old, raped and killed.
And remember this, I say this a lot, this is just starting because they're just getting comfortable in the country.
They never heard about politically correct law enforcement.
We have the greatest police in the world, but they're not allowed to do their job.
And we're going to let them do their job.
And we're going to give them immunity so they can't be prosecuted for doing their job.
Joe Biden inherited a great border because I fixed it.
Remember, I fixed it in 2016.
I got elected because of the border.
But that border was nothing compared to what we have.
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
But I fixed it.
It was a big deal. And I would say it was probably one or two in terms of my points that I had a lot of things.
But the border was a big deal.
It was a bad border. I fixed it so much so that I couldn't even speak about it during the 2020 race because it didn't Nobody cared about it anymore because it was fixed.
So he inherited a perfect border and he proceeded to destroy it almost immediately.
He destroyed it at a level that nobody could even believe, but many times worse than it was in 2016.
I'd love, you know, I have a chart.
I don't know if these guys don't know about this, but I have a chart that if they could find it, put it up because there's one little stat on this chart.
Oh, wow. These guys have become good.
You know, it used to take a day to get that chart.
They'd say, sir, we'll have it up tomorrow.
I said, tomorrow's not going to help me, Glenn.
So you see the arrow, Glenn, on the bottom?
See the arrow, the big red arrow on the bottom?
That's the lowest level of illegal immigration ever in recorded history right there.
That's the week that I left office.
And look what happened after that.
Look at the numbers on the right.
Look at what happened after that.
So that was the lowest level.
And then it started marching upward.
But what you don't see are the drugs.
We're at the lowest level in 32 years.
The human trafficking mostly in women.
They traffic in women.
And that's now back at a level that we've never even seen or imagined before.
But I love that chart.
You know, that chart is just a small chart in with other numbers like poll numbers and things that are so impressive.
Even fundraising.
You know, we did more. We raised more money after this crooked trial.
Than we've ever raised, I think, than any candidate.
I think we raised over $400 million.
Can you believe it? I would say if we did 10 million, it would be a lot during this period.
10 million is a lot of money.
They raised over $400 million during this very short period of time.
A little period of time. If we would have done like 8 or 9 or 10, it would have been great.
But they did numbers that know because everyone knows there are a bunch of crooked people.
And by the way, if I were one of the presidents or dictators, as I call them, most of them are dictators, but they go under the term president.
But I know them all very well.
I would have been doing better than them.
I would have had 100% over in this country by now.
They're emptying their prisons.
You know what that is? They're emptying their mental institutions into our country.
Do you know the money they save?
The money is massive.
And we have all the problems.
Nothing good is going to come out.
And we have ISIS terrorists.
We have terrorists pouring into our country.
Just bad, bad things are going to happen.
And it's all because of this incompetent president, the worst president in history.
If he gets back in, Joe Biden has also vowed to pulverize Virginia families with the largest tax hikes in history.
Congratulations. He pledged that the Trump tax cuts are, quote, going to expire, and if I'm elected, it's going to stay expired.
That means he's going to raise your taxes by four times.
It'll be the largest. You know that, Len.
He wants to give you the largest tax increase in the history of our country.
It's going to decimate Virginia, and it's going to decimate...
Every state, and it's not his fault.
You'll have to take the heat.
Maybe that's what they're doing. You'll have to take the heat.
But they want to decimate because those tax cuts went more to the middle class and the lower class than to anybody else and the creation of jobs.
But instead of a Biden tax increase, I will deliver a Trump and call it a Trump middle class tax cut.
And all of my life, I said it last night.
I've watched as politicians cut taxes.
This guy wants to raise your taxes by four times and people say, oh, let's vote for him.
I don't know. They don't use the term liberal anymore.
They use the term progressive, you know, because it's a nice sounding word.
I'm a progressive, but it's not a good word.
It's a really bad word.
And we will have a brand new Trump economic boom.
We're going to cut taxes.
So we cut taxes substantially, massively, the biggest tax.
And with a lower rate, we did much more business, much more revenue than we had before the cuts.
In other words, we just did better.
And Apple and Microsoft, all these companies were bringing their money back.
From offshore countries, from other countries who are bringing it back into the United States.
Because they essentially weren't allowed to, from a practical standpoint, because the tax was so high and the bureaucracy of doing it was almost impossible, they say.
So we're going to do more tax cutting.
And we're going to have this country at a level that you've never seen it before.
And we're going to, you know, underfoot, under the ground, we have more liquid oil and gas than any country on Earth.
And, you know, we had a thing called ANWR in Alaska.
Ronald Reagan wanted to get it approved.
He couldn't do it. Everybody wanted to get it approved.
I got it approved. The first week of Biden, they disapproved it.
The greatest tax, the greatest...
Reserves, they say, outside of perhaps Saudi Arabia could be greater than Saudi Arabia.
Would have been so great for Alaska, but would have been great for this country.
Those people have been treated so badly, especially when you compare them with people that ripped apart and killed people in Portland and in Seattle and in other places.
They have been treated so badly.
So we're asking, based on the decision, they should immediately be released, immediately,
All right, Trump gaining steam as we get nearer to the presidential election.
Meanwhile, the Democrats don't even know who their nominee is going to be.
All right, we got some clips of CNN, MSNBC ripping Biden a new one when we come back.
All right, here's just a couple of clips.
We got a whole list of these.
A couple of clips of CNN ripping Biden a new one right after the debate.
unidentified
After his performance, it has really set off panic.
There was one Democratic congressman I was in touch with who was on Capitol Hill at a watch party with a number of other lawmakers.
And that moment early on in the debate where President Biden was talking about the national debt, And seemed to lose his train of thought, paused for several seconds, and then gave a confusing answer.
He said that when that happened, the entire room was just completely silent and in shock, and that this member's own reaction was that he wanted to jump off of a bridge.
And he said that throughout the course of the 90 minutes of the debate- Biden has Democrats jumping off bridges?
He and the other lawmakers in the room felt like Donald Trump looked young and Joe Biden looked old and that Donald Trump seemed to mostly be on the offensive and that Joe Biden seemed to be mostly on the defense.
Democrats, he said, are just panicked right now and don't even know what to do.
I mean, these are some really devastating reviews for a Biden campaign That really wanted to use tonight to dispel this notion that President Biden is too old for a second term.
Some of them. He said he's the only president in a while who didn't have any troops dying anywhere in the world.
Troops have, of course, died on his watch.
He said he's put in a $15 bill.
He said it's a $200 cap on overall drug spending in Medicare.
It's $2,000 a year.
He said the border now has fewer crossings than when Trump was in office.
That's generally not true.
He said or at least strongly suggested unemployment was at 15 percent when he took office.
It was actually 6.4.
He said Trump wants to get rid of Social Security.
Trump doesn't. He said billionaires pay 8.2 percent in taxes.
It's much higher. He said Trump told Americans to inject Yikes.
Now here's the Pentagon, the Pentagon spokeswoman having to correct something Joe Biden said last night.
unidentified
Just to be clear, was the president's statement incorrect?
I, again, just not trying to get involved in campaign events or really go further on comments on the debate.
If the president had more context, I'd refer you to the White House to speak to his comments.
I think you and others have reported on some of the Tragic losses of life that we have seen from service members, whether it be as Phil referenced in Jordan or in other places around the world.
And you've seen this president express his deepest condolences to those families as well.
So I would refer you to the White House for more.
This is a question to the Pentagon.
Has President Biden had service members die anywhere in the world during his time in office?
As you have reported on, we have certainly had service members pass during this administration.
He's been a lobbyist for veterans on Capitol Hill fighting For their health care, specifically with the VA. And Chris, I'm glad that you've joined me today because there was a very important moment at the debate last night that I'm sure you have a lot to unload on.
And that was when Joe Biden claimed that the VA is better than it's ever been under his control.
Well, I'm glad you're bringing this up, Owen, because out of the whole debate, there was a moment where President Trump talked about the fact that we have homeless veterans that are being mistreated and, well, illegal immigrants pour into the country, and it's totally true.
And I was talking to a gentleman the other day.
These are folks that are actually more liberal, that actually agree with this.
Veterans advocates, veterans that are out there.
The idea that our veterans, we have homeless veterans everywhere.
The VA spends $799 million a year, allegedly, in these SSFV grants, which essentially go
to non-profits to house veterans.
We have homeless veterans everywhere.
President Trump brought it up, and you'll notice President Biden never subsequently responded to really anything, but he didn't subsequently respond to the homeless veterans piece.
And when he said veterans are in, I remember this debate, it was painful, by the way, as I'm sure it was for everyone to get through, but he didn't, he mentioned that Our veterans are getting treated better than ever.
Then he switched to some generic statement about we're the best fighting force.
Zero substance. It was a spin.
I'm sure it was part of his rehearsed, you know, whenever they had him cranked out on amphetamines or whatever he's on.
I mean, I've never seen he has advanced mental decay.
Clearly, it looks like it could be dementia.
I'm not a doctor. I'll leave it there.
I won't go further down that road.
But President Biden did nothing to substantively talk about veterans, didn't unpackage anything about specifics.
We have homeless veterans everywhere, and the VA is still a complete—the VA has $200-plus billion.
Most of the operations in VA are these bureaucratic machinations that don't actually touch veterans of the front fours.
We can go into all sorts of different programs here, but unfortunately, it's a failing grade for President Biden on veterans, and it was better when President Trump was in there for a variety of specific reasons.
Well, here's one that's absolutely crazy, and I'd like to get more into the homeless vets issue, because this should be such an obvious deal, dealing with homeless vets compared to what non-citizens, illegal border crossers, receive.
I mean, they get free room and board.
I mean, they stay in five-star hotels.
But specifically, when we're talking about the Veterans Affairs, and this hit the news a couple months ago, but I mean, it's kind of like, pinch me, is this even real?
Are illegal aliens getting money that's supposed to be for veterans in the VA? Is that true?
There's certainly, in terms of the specific tie, I'd have to look closer, but generally, absolutely.
I mean, we have federal funds, we have mandatory and discretionary funds, which are terminologies in the federal budget process, the federal budget pipeline, which is a very statutory-based process.
They're able to get benefits almost immediately when you have veterans that, imagine being a homeless veteran today, And you go to the VA, what they call the Rapid Resource Community Center, some acronym that should mean very slow and you're not going to get anything likely.
There's nothing rapid about it.
And then they refer you out to the community or these nonprofits that receive grants.
So they're actually outsourcing it.
So you're a veteran that has to complete – it's like – Jumping through hoops, doing multiple things, and you take a veteran that's been fortunate, that's been highly educated or worked in government or testified in front of Congress or been on television like me, I can't figure it out, Owen.
I can't figure it out.
If you have lawyers that cannot figure out how to access a government program through the VA, Hint, hint, it doesn't work, and yet you have illegal immigrants that are—and I've never said anything disparaging, nor would I, against another human being.
I think only God can judge people, not—we're called to be witnesses, not judges.
That being said, it's illegal, right?
So you're breaking laws to get somewhere, and then you have one political party in America that wants to give rights to criminals.
It's absolutely— And I think that's one thing President Trump hit on yesterday that was good, which was, we're destroyed.
Well, and let's talk about, you know, you talk about unpackaging.
You talk about the substance. This is the substance.
You have homeless veterans that are within eyeshot of a hotel that illegal aliens are getting free room and board at for at least 30 days in some cases.
More than that. They're watching food.
Get delivered every day.
They're seeing that they get healthcare.
I mean, this is just the one angle of the homeless veterans that they got into yesterday.
I mean, that's the substance.
I can't even imagine.
I'm frustrated as an American that noncitizens are getting treated better than Americans.
I can't imagine you're a homeless veteran, whatever the situation is that landed you on the streets.
I can't imagine you're a homeless veteran.
I mean, veteran suicide is already a problem.
I mean, you want to talk about depression. You're in eyeshot of a hotel full of non-citizens, a hotel full of criminals, and they're getting five-star treatment while you're either freezing on the streets, starving on the streets, sweating to death on the streets.
And you have some veterans that struggle with substance abuse issues, and it's even harder when you're homeless and when these things are happening.
And we're going to have a lot of fun, Owen, on the Veterans Call-In Show up until Election Day, because there's a whole bunch of other problems we haven't even got into at the VA. You've got a program called VR&E. Voc Rehab is the old school terminology for it.
This program is like a treasure chest of gold that you can't get to.
It's under the ocean, it's in a safe, it's locked, it's covered by a freaking two freaking
blue whales being the government.
VR&E is purposed to give veterans retraining to reenter the workforce.
VR&E legally could send a law, they could send me to law school, they could send a veteran
to get a PhD.
It's a very, very valuable program.
Very valuable.
people's lives, but it's also being withheld.
And right now, I'm about to blow a scandal off in the Biden VA over the next couple of months.
I'm doing this right. I'm doing my research and I'm making sure Congress has what they need.
The Capital Region Veterans Benefits Office of the VA is kicking veterans out of VR&E before they even get in.
There's an initial interview where they evaluate various disabilities and they give you assets.
They're not completing the intakes.
They're kicking veterans out of the queue.
And in the case, and I did kind of like a mini Project Veritas ad hoc as myself, what Mr.
O'Keefe does. I kind of tried, I did a little bit of undercover investigation with this.
And there were VA employees working from home.
That are rescheduling their appointments with veterans around their personal home deliveries.
I've got a dryer coming today.
I've got this coming today. I have to reschedule you around that because I don't want the delivery person to hear our conversation because we need to protect your privacy.
How about doing your job?
How about doing the job you're paid to do?
So if you really want to talk about resentment and you want to talk about anger, is veterans that have gone to war, defended this country, lived all this stuff.
I mean, you had two men on a debate stage last night.
Neither one of them went to war.
I did. Many other men and women did.
And we have benefits that have been provided to us by Congress that regulators won't give us.
And I know this is something where Infowars is highly effective, is they understand, you understand, Owen, the regulators are really the enemy.
I mean, there's other enemies, but the regulators are the ones that are withholding a benefit you're entitled to.
So I look forward to exposing this to Congress and really getting some of these directors, because here's how the VA works.
Once they get exposed, then it's a race to the bottom to fix everything, which, unfortunately, the bottom should actually be the strongest.
There should be strength on both sides.
So VR&E, veterans are not able to get into it.
It's adversarial, and it truly is.
Blightful. They want veterans...
They want to kind of just have veterans good enough so that they can pat them on the head.
When you have someone that goes in there that really wants to do something with their life, they're met with these federal employees.
It is absolutely unacceptable.
And as an American, I struggle watching these debates because veterans are always left out.
Have you noticed that one? That's exactly where I wanted to go next because...
You know, when I look at these things, I try to look full-spectrum logic in policy.
And I'm sitting here and I'm listening to this about the VR&E and I'm thinking, okay, well, what's an issue?
It's the same reason why we compare and contrast with the illegal aliens, the non-citizens.
And I think, well, what's the issue in the business world right now?
What are people complaining about?
Well, they can't find good help.
Or we have this drive, we have this initiative known as the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion where, hey, I'm just going to hire you because you're gay or you have the right skin color, whatever that is.
Well, what about veterans that need a job?
What about people that have actually served this country who are likely probably...
Great to hire, are probably going to be great to work with, and they just get completely skipped over because it's not in the D-I-E. So, I mean, you have veterans getting skipped over because of D-I-E in the workforce.
You have veterans getting skipped over because of non-citizens that need health care or need a place to stay.
So it's just like what you said.
So many times they're just left out of the conversation.
I'm so glad you brought up the DEI stuff and the diversity, equity, inclusion, because the thing that's interesting is the philosophical intent is facially understandable.
It's like we want to have everyone feel good and we want to make sure that everyone can kind of come together, which I think happens through God and happens organically and happens through the goodwill and good human nature.
But, you know, it's interesting, too, because I know veterans that have been able to own a small business, earn a million dollars, come into hard times and end up homeless and do things.
And I work with veterans that are minority veterans that are, I can't stand DEI. They're like, this is literally working against us.
And it's creating, it really is consternation and discord, and it's a lie.
And we see this again and again, and we know why they do it, Owen.
It's the Democrat vote machine.
It's that simple.
It's just, it's, we want you to vote for us, no matter what.
We will trade any principle.
And I think both political parties who've got a lot of problems.
I'll go on all day about things about the Republican Party I think needs to improve.
But there's still, there's some core principles there that still are built to win.
You know what I mean? It's just one of these things where...
And the gender stuff we could fire off about, too.
That's another thing. If I wanted to go to...
If I'm working on my health and fitness, etc., and I want to take, we'll say, steroids so I can look better, you're not going to get that from the VA. But if I want to mutilate my biology and become Christina and come on your call-in show in two months in drag...
Look, I mean, the producers are doing a great job.
They're putting this up. Some of this stuff is so crazy.
I mean, when I was in Seattle, it's, you know, they have the Gay Pride dog tags on top of the parking garage.
I mean, it's absolutely crazy.
And in my opinion, first of all, in my opinion, that shouldn't happen for a different reason,
which is to me, that is political and brand expression.
So like, for example, you're not going to have a Bud Light flag on top of the VA.
You're not going to have like a football.
What it is, Owen, is it's people wanting stuff at the expense of truth, law, and it's crazy.
And you know what? We already know this.
There's no end in sight.
What's going to happen is, and I hope I don't want it to, but I think it will, eventually I think the United States will collapse, just like Rome.
It's unsustainable without godly principles, without families, without conservative values, without Second Amendment.
And this is what I think Infowars is so effective is because they're able to really take on the key issues and half of the stuff and the unfairness you've dealt with, Doan and Alex and others, is you've been right about all these things.
That's the part that's fun.
That's the part that's fun is when you're actually, because see, truth survives the test of time.
When all these other things go and everything like that.
So, you know, the VA... There are good people that work inside the VA. There are good programs inside the VA. But it has become such a large bureaucracy.
And remember, this is the second largest agency.
Its budget is over $200 billion.
And again, you've got a lot of that DEI stuff in there.
And I've got to tell you, What is the mission of DEI? When do you win?
Well, let's just call it, well, in my opinion, you can agree or disagree or pass to comment, but I mean, in my opinion, it's just anti-white is all it is.
It's people that want to see less white people in positions.
They say it. I mean, it's not even a theory.
That's what they say.
That's the entire purpose of DEI, is there's too many white folks, so let's make sure we hire other people.
And then undercover videos come out at Disney and other places, and the executives say, yeah, we just don't hire white people.
So, I mean, that's how it's been going for some time now.
Now, here's what I want to do, because you mentioned this.
We'll keep you on for the hour here and maybe take some calls from veterans that maybe have questions about the VA. Hell, maybe you might be able to help them manage their way through some issues that they're having or just ask you questions.
So the number to call in for veterans, just tell us what branch you're out of, where you're at.
We'll get you on the air here with Chris Nywim, who's been fighting for years for veterans' rights on the Hill.
877-789-2539.
877-789-2539.
It's 2539.
Let us know what branch you're out of, where you're at.
We'll get you up and on the air. Your questions for Chris, your questions for me.
If you want to respond to the bait, that's fine too.
Chris, I think that the big deliverable for Trump when it comes to healthcare for veterans, and specifically with the VA... We're good to go.
Right. So you're right, and I want to walk you through a caveat.
I'm going to arm you with something that the left will try to hit you with, and this will allow you to disarm them because it's erroneous and it's red herring.
Yes, there's two key things Trump did.
He did a bunch of things, but two key things that I think he did very well when it comes to veterans, okay?
One is... He got the Accountability Act passed, which allowed to fire bad employees more quickly without having to go through the Merit System Protection Board and things.
Really bad people. I mean, you could go in the VA drunk and high and take your pants down and light a building on fire and not be fired before.
It was absolutely crazy. People attending physicians were drunk during surgeries.
You had a scandal at the Tomah VA where you had a doctor giving out painkills trying to kill people, resulting in issues.
He got the VA Accountability Act passed.
The Choice Act, I believe, was signed by Obama, so it was passed in the previous Congress, but they didn't want to do anything with it.
It was like they just—they didn't want to—President Trump really pushed it, made it work.
I mean, he was able to take this program, and so, I mean, the Democrats are like, we got choice.
Yeah, okay, you put the football on the field and did nothing with it.
President Trump ran the football down the entire field, which he usually does.
I mean, that's and that's one thing where I just give him credit over and over.
I've done it on him for us.
I've done it on Fox News is he's come through on the vets.
He just you know, he's he's better there.
I like the way he tells the story.
He was very matter of fact about yesterday.
Our veterans are completely mistreated in an afterthought.
And and you don't need to be a veteran to be a veterans advocate.
I mean, some of the best advocates haven't been.
But, you know, with the Biden administration, we're again seeing a trend of just a lot of non-veterans.
Well, you know, this is actually such an important point that you make.
And I think it's the difference between Trump and most politicians, really, is he sees the ball on the field and he says, hey, why isn't anybody picking it up and running it to the end zone?
And it's just like, oh, you know, that's not really what we do here.
It's just a political football we like to pass around and kind of see who can leverage more political support off of it.
We don't actually want to deliver it to the end zone.
And Trump's like, well, what the hell? I'm going to take this into the end zone.
I'm going to spike it. And so I think the veterans' issues is one thing, too.
But, you know, you bring up how he's talking candidly about that.
And leftists will sit here and be like, oh, how can he talk like this?
I mean, folks, let me explain something.
Because I'll come on air and I'll talk about some veterans' issues.
And sometimes I'll have people kind of be like, dang, you kind of went a little hard on that, speaking like that when you're not a veteran.
Folks, who do you think approaches me and talks the most when I'm out in public?
It's veterans. Veterans come up to me and they'll talk my ear off.
I mean, who do you think is more frustrated about the things that are going on in this country than the people who have literally signed their name on the line?
Well, we're about to go to some veterans on the line, too.
Jack Posobiec joining us in studio.
By the way, I think I know who you're talking about.
You mentioned some veterans that are fighting against the DEI. Justin Hicks is also going to be joining us in the third hour.
He's running for office in Missouri.
He's pushing back against the DEI. All right, so we got a whole veterans thing happening here.
It's all coming together. Jack Posobiec in studio, Chris Nyweem on Skype as well.
We got veterans on the phone.
We're going to take your calls, your questions.
We've been talking about Trump's massive victory last night.
But it's a total winning issue.
The Democrats lose every time, Biden specifically.
Veterans issues, veterans affairs, taking care of our veterans.
This is a winning issue. And Trump just delivered on it, where most politicians just put the ball in the field, do a little dance, and then walk off the field and wait for the next time to do their next dance in the election cycle.
We'll be right back. I turned your mic on just for that, so now people are going to want it.
It's probably the best month, but I don't want to get started onto that.
All right. We got Chris Nyween with us.
We got veterans on the phone as well.
And so they might have some questions for Chris.
They might want to talk about the debate last night.
I know, Jack, you did a bunch of coverage on the debate last night.
You had huge numbers. You were on the Jones Show earlier today.
I think the story tells itself.
Let's go to the lines now.
Let's go to Nick, an Army veteran in Arkansas.
unidentified
Nick, you're on the air. Go ahead. Good afternoon, Owen.
how you boys doing this day? We're good. Hey man, you boys really opened up a can of worms.
You started talking about veterans benefits.
I'll tell you one for you.
Here recently, they sent me up.
They told me a couple months ago I needed to go and detest some other things that I filed for, one of which was my hearing, another of which was my lungs, my breathing.
They came back. They said, they said, Mr.
Nick, you're 33 years old.
World War III Concerns00:10:45
unidentified
You have the lung capacity of a 55-year-old man.
And you are 72% deaf in your right ear and you are 80% deaf in your left ear.
You should be wearing hearing aids.
And I said, okay, well, great.
What can we do to go forward from here?
Well, we will have to wait until you hear back from the VA. We'll have to do this and that, so on and so forth.
I finally received a letter from the VA. The VA acknowledged my disability but then proceeded to tell me that they weren't going to pay me anything for my disability, mainly because I still work.
That's what it boils down to, is, oh, well, you're good enough to work, so we're not going to give you anything for it.
We're not going to help you.
We're not going to help you try to get ahead in life.
We're not going to pay for anything that we destroyed on your body.
You know, I'm sure Mr. Chris, being a veteran, you know, running miles on end, and for me, I was 82nd Airborne.
I jumped out of airplanes.
My knees are shot.
And, you know, it's crazy.
They run you through this rigmarole.
It's like last week they sent me a text message that said, you have...
You have a doctor's appointment to do a knee evaluation on you.
On this day, and this was two days ago, was the appointment.
I'm an over-the-road truck driver.
You guys need to tell me two, three weeks ahead of time so that I have time to coordinate with my company to be able to get home.
No, no. I'm so glad this veteran is bringing this up.
The VA has automated a lot of the functions for disability compensation where they're able to conceptually get veterans in quicker to set up what they call these CMP exams, which if you're a veteran, that's going to sound familiar, compensation and pension that they've outsourced.
But like this veteran stated, they sort of Outsource that and select that.
And for many veterans, number one, homeless because they can't get anywhere.
That's a whole other thing. Or veterans that work or things like this.
They're not very flexible.
They're inflexible. And in some respects, if you miss an appointment, they will kick you out of the queue or delay.
I'm glad this veteran has brought this up because it's another issue within the scheduling apparatus.
I do think the contractors are way better than VA. These third-party companies that do the exams, pretty good.
I mean, I think I'd liken it to Using a FedEx versus the U.S. Postal Service, I am encouraged to see that.
I think President Trump understands that and conservatives have understood having these public-private partnerships that work do make sense.
I can't think of many agencies that do things like road expansion or interstate expansion that don't have these components as opposed to the sort of Soviet-style where the government's going to do everything, which I guess, aside from collecting taxes and funding the military, I don't know that the government would ever do anything better than the private sector in terms of efficiency.
I hear this, and I'm sorry, but I'm thinking like insurance fraud.
It's like, hey, they want to bring you in for the tests because they can build these companies, but then when the time comes to actually take care of the issue they find, now they're not interested.
Look, this happens time and again because they'll either say it's non-service related, they'll try to tie it to something else, or they'll try to say it doesn't actually impact you, as he was saying, because you're still working, so you're not actually entitled to benefits.
And the issue is, because it's not an insurance company, it's the U.S. government.
And so this is definitely something that would be huge for the VA in the next potential Trump term, which I think we can all agree is much, much closer now as of last night, that to open the VA up to those types of things, to fraud settlements, to fraud claims. Now, obviously they have fraud claims, but to actual direct, potentially even class action for people who have been in all of this.
I mean, it's basically like what happened with the burn pits for a lot of people who have lung issues Or now you hear about the Camp Lejeune ads are everywhere?
Exactly. The Camp Lejeune or anyone living in base housing with the asbestos and all the lung issues that people have.
We had a lot of that.
I lived on base for three years.
And so, you know, base housing, it just is what it is.
And I've been in barracks and all sorts of different other situations at various places throughout the world.
And so, you know, you just get thrown into something.
They don't tell you where you're going.
They don't give you the option.
Of course, you're in the military.
So when you're in the military, you're living where they tell you to live.
And so all of this is actually service related.
They just want to play all these games to say that they don't have to actually pay it.
Hey, thanks Owen. I went in the Navy in 1985 through the St.
Louis Meps, so I know you're familiar with St.
Louis. Oh yes.
Didn't know what I was doing.
I was 21, but it worked out for the best, I guess, for me.
But I would just, you know, to get away from veterans benefits for just a second and nothing against the last call or anybody with those issues, but I think the bigger picture is World War III looming on the horizon.
Thank God Trump brought that up last night.
He should have hit it about 10 more times.
And if he would just get his ego out of the way, he'd be brilliant.
Somebody needs to coach him up.
He just cannot stand there.
And he's so thin-skinned that any little thing that throws him off, he tries to defend himself.
And God bless him, you know, for what he's doing, because he's, you know, probably our only hope.
And I believe in him, but he's got to man up and just take the bull by the horns.
I mean, I do think that one thing I would say with President Trump, and it's just a neutral character trait, in my opinion, which is he doesn't want to be told to do what anyone else tells him to do.
So, I mean, that makes for a strong business person.
That makes for a good leader in many respects.
But also, you need to be able to be open to coaching.
I mean, it's little things. I mean, every politician I've ever heard talks about the Veterans Administration.
Every time they say that, they're saying it wrong.
In 1989, it became a department.
It's a department level. There's three administrations under its cemeteries, benefits, and healthcare.
And when you say Veterans Administration, John McCain used to say it all the time, the Veterans Administration.
It's not the Veterans Administration, John.
It's the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
John McCain, I can't get torn off on him because he was opposed to the post-911 GI Bill.
A lot of people don't know that. He ended up voting for it because he got put in the corner by the American Legion in Iraq and Afghanistan, Veterans of America.
He thought it would be a disincentive for veterans like me that were less than 10 years.
Combat deployed, but that we weren't like the stately officer, which in some cases you could be a career officer and be a Pentagon desk colonel behind the desk your entire career and not go and deploy.
He didn't want to give us that benefit.
And President Trump, alternatively, has delivered on a lot of things like that, liberalizing some of the benefits.
But to the caller's point, I do agree.
I think we have a strong tenor on foreign policy because one thing that just burns me up, and it's nothing against Ukraine, it's nothing against someone wanting to support something, but I am against the just blind, stupid, you know, way that everyone's going with this.
It's like this world we're in now of like the Taylor Swift, Travis Keldo's two, like, it's just ridiculous.
We talked about this with Jones earlier, but World War III was brought up a lot, and I think a lot of people missed this, not just by President Trump, but Biden was the one again and again bringing up NATO Article 5, NATO Article 5, NATO Article 5.
I actually, and this is my hypothesis, and we talked about this in livestream last night, was that he's threatening to go to World War III if it looks like he's about to lose or about to be switched out.
Why is it that he's talking about this?
And Zelensky's over there at NATO right now, and Zelensky's even saying, we should sue for peace, we're running out of fighters, we're running out of military, we can't do this anymore, we don't have the manpower.
And then Biden is saying NATO, NATO, NATO, NATO involvement.
Guess what? That's going to mean Polish troops, that's going to mean French troops, and that's eventually going to mean American troops.
And to the caller's point, you know, we don't have the same military that we did in the 1980s.
We certainly don't even have the same military that we did at the onset of the GWAT, the Global War on Terror.
I don't know if the military we have as currently constituted would even be able to field a World War III. Well, and I think the caller's point about World War III is probably the most important here because...
For Trump to really put that on Biden on that stage last night is so key because people do feel a little tense about the geopolitical situation right now, whether they're aware of how serious it is or not.
I have nothing against Ukrainian people.
My guess is the average Ukrainian is like me and just wants to live a free and prosperous lifestyle.
But Ukraine has been used as a client state of the US military industrial complex by crooks like Victoria Nuland to steal my money and to launder weapons into the Middle East for their proxy groups.
No, that's exactly right. And so when I was there in May of 2022, when we first went into Lviv, and to be fair, over there in the West, you really encounter that Ukrainian nationalism.
Yeah, we want to go all the way in.
We want to go all the way in. But of course, you didn't really see a lot of people who were deploying.
They were mostly just staying there in the city where it's really nice and it's it's very safe
You're very very far from the front lines. But as we took the train down to Odessa, you mind this is two years ago
This is very early into the war took the train down to Odessa Then I was able to arrange a car to take us through the
checkpoints into Mikhailov to where the shipyards are Once we got down there that Ukrainian rah-rah nationalism
It just wasn't there anymore Because you started to get into the areas that did have the
bombed out buildings that did have people We saw the looting. We saw people who were still staying back, even in these cities that had been under attack.
And some people just saying, look, this is my home.
I don't want to leave.
Leaving is expensive.
I might not have a car, other circumstances.
And you see them just trying to pick up groceries and trying to live their lives in In a normal manner while all of this insanity is going on around them.
I want to kind of get Jack's response to this or whatever he heard or he wants to respond to.
But this is like my biggest bugaboo when dealing with all of these different government bureaucracies, which is why my natural instinct is just like, shut them down.
Shut them down. They've had decades to be successful.
They've had decades to be efficient.
If they can't figure it out by now, then just frickin' shut them down.
But this is a perfect example of what you're describing.
Hundreds of billions of dollars in veterans affairs, and these guys have to beg to get a hearing aid.
I mean, what in the fuck is that?
A veteran has to beg to get a frickin' hearing aid?
You got $200 billion in your budget?
And so it's just like, but this is the story of everything.
$200 billion for Ukraine.
We got collapsing infrastructure.
However much money Israel needs to fire rockets and build walls, but we can't even have a southern border.
I mean, it's like with every frickin' government action in bureaucracy, we deal with the same crap.
I'm ranting here, Jack. This is what Trump was trying to address when he talked about the Veterans Choice cards.
And the idea would be, essentially, this is a card for your essential medical needs, and then you take it where you want.
You take it where you want, and obviously you have a system where it's controlled.
You can't just be running around buying whatever you want with this thing.
But if you have something that's a medical need, you go to your doctor, you choose the doctor, you choose the treatment, you have them sign off on it.
And then, yes, it is the government that pays for it, because it's the government that ought to be paying for the veteran's Oh, it's kind of scandals.
You think it's going to get better just because we get another guy?
And Chris, you know how it is, man.
These guys, they create fiefdoms so that they can continue their legacy, so that they continue to get funding.
They exist to go from budget to budget.
The veterans, the patients that they're serving aren't actually what they're there for.
They're there for their paychecks.
They're there so that it Come budget time, when the new FYI supplemental is coming in, or the omnibus, or the CR, whatever it is, it's make sure that my department gets funded.
And that's all they care about.
This is endemic of all government bureaucracy and all government work.
That's why I loved this idea, and of course it was President Trump that came up with it, but I love the idea itself of giving veterans this health pass card that they can use to take to whatever services they need, and then boom, it gets covered.
No, absolutely. And to Jack's point, to kind of expand on it just a little bit, is, you know, you have a congresswoman Democrat out in Washington State.
Her husband is this investor type.
He was in the VA. He might still be there.
He may have left. Del Bainey, I think.
I think it's Kurt Del Bainey.
But this guy is in there to do these, like, major IT-type related projects.
But, of course, he doesn't have any sort of vested interest.
And there was an ethics report where I think she eventually made the report deadline to basically say that, well...
They're starting to sell off this stock.
It's just ridiculous.
It's just corruption. You have people in there that are making millions of dollars advising.
Well, I'm not making contract decisions.
I'm just sort of advising. And so that's to Jack's point of not only is it protect, protect, protect, but how can I make?
People are getting rich off this stuff.
Inside trading. And to be more simple about the point from the last caller is, Biden is the nihilistic culture candidate of all that stuff, of the celebrities and the Ukraine and the groupthink and the democracy, democracy, democracy. They say that, but Trump is actually the one that does it, which is the sovereignty.
Trump is the sovereignty candidate out of these two choices.
And I think if people really understand that, They'll understand who they should be voting for.
The complete hell and complete craziness on the other side of the world, then we're supposed to do everything.
But it's like Jack and me, we have to bear the brunt of every single war and do everything like that.
Go to war, come back.
And then like in Jack and my case, then we actually have to be like vocal advocates to make sure veterans still get what they do.
I don't really make money anymore.
I have three businesses now.
I don't make money on veterans at all.
As a matter of fact, it takes a lot of time away from my time, but I'll always do it.
And it's because veterans still have to fight, like VR&E, we talked earlier, to get the benefits that they deserve.
So hopefully we'll see more of this health care, community care stuff with Trump.
But again, if President Trump isn't elected in the VA context, We will be back in—it's like the Wizard of Oz, except for we never get beyond the freaking wall, right?
We're sitting there waiting for our benefits, and the VA is the gatekeeper that decides if and when we get the benefits.
Could potentially be something that you could fight now because the Supreme Court has now just ruled that U.S. Code 1512, Section C2, obstruction of a...
He goes to prison for trying to help secure the border.
The people like Joe Biden who have blood on their hands, I mean, swimming in the blood of the innocent because of the open border, you know, he gets to be the president.
That's the problem. All right, Chris, I want to give you a chance for final statements here.
No, I would just say that one thing for any American in general is really, really study the Constitution and your rights.
Because, you know, like Jack was mentioning and we've been talking with these court cases and decisions and legal rights, if you really understand statutes and regulations and read them, you're way better off.
Whether it's agencies like the IRS or the VA or others, they're bound by regulations.
If you can find...
And really study and apply these things.
In some cases, you can have victory with them, but they're not going to, you know, we need to use the courts to our advantage.
I think that's one thing President Trump has understood, too, about the justices.
President Biden seems to be complaining.
It's like, yeah, that's how you win, buddy.
We put people on that bench for life so that we can stop having crazy stuff go on.
And, you know, it's a sensitive topic.
I don't want to go into the whole abortion thing, but imagine being in a position where You're bragging and you're promoting and you're celebrating It's their big political issue.
But I think here's something else that I show, Chris, and to your point, because what you're talking about is it shows that with a concerted patriot effort that people can actually institute change by directly targeting an institution, in this case, over the course of...
Like, 50 years directly targeting the Supreme Court and then having the political arm of President Trump getting in there to appoint those justices, suddenly we've actually got an institution that's, like, kind of at a balanced, independent control.
Yeah, I think the results are, it's clear that Trump won that debate by itself.
If you look at any instance that happened, Biden was fumbling.
His cognitive ability is not there.
We've been saying that by itself.
His policies, he can't explain his policies.
He can't explain how under his administration, inflation has risen to the level that it has, what's hurt all Americans.
It doesn't look like a good day for the Democrats.
We'll just say that it doesn't look like a good day, especially when you have outlets like CNN questioning whether he should be running for president at this point.
Yeah, no, down ballot, it helps all Republicans by itself.
But the race is going good.
You know, we're out there. We're on the ground.
We're talking with voters, you know, figuring out what exactly what voters want.
And, you know, the resounding thing that voters are wanting, they're wanting us to secure the border.
Up there in D.C. They're wanting us to make sure that we're supporting our military.
They're wanting us to make sure that we are doing things like actually balancing our budgets, starting to actually tamper down on inflation and get the American economy going again instead of what we've had for the past four years under the Biden administration, which has just been a stagnant economy.
And a lot of the jobs and things like that, as President Trump even put it, We're just a COVID bounce back job.
They're not actually adding real jobs to the economy right now.
And it's time to really take back the country and get us back down to our foundational elements of it rooted in the Constitution.
So the way the district breakout is by itself is that you run, it's traditionally a red seat with some of the redistricting.
You're getting to see a little bit more of the purple areas, especially as you get to the suburban areas by itself.
I think it's balancing messaging.
It's balancing what's going on.
You focus on the kitchen table issues that people really want to see happen.
You know, people are tired, sick and tired of paying so much at the grocery store.
They're sick and tired of having high mortgages.
They're sick and tired of us looking like imbeciles in our foreign policy overseas under the Biden administration.
They're tired of all the crime that is coming over through the southern border.
We have known suspected terrorists that are coming through that border and every single
state has become a border state. Now it's not just a federal issue, it's become a state issue now
because of the lack of actual action that the federal government has taken under the Biden
administration by itself. So these are the issues that people care about as we talk with voters,
talk with different people out there in the district by itself. And it seems to be resonating
whether you are on a thin line of a Democrat or Independent or even a Republican,
those are the core issues that people care about.
People vote with their wallets, and we cannot say that we're better now than we were four or five years ago when we were under the Trump administration.
Well, I look at kind of the political evolutions right now that our country is in, specifically, I think since Donald Trump, it's kind of a good measuring stick since Trump entered politics.
And what I'm seeing is Missouri is really going red.
I mean, it's traditionally gone red.
It's gone blue sometimes in the past.
It's had some Democrat senators and, you know...
I think Obama may have even won Missouri.
I can't recall. He may have won Missouri.
But now, I mean, Missouri has one of the best attorney generals.
Missouri has one of the best senators.
We're getting really good conservative representatives for candidates like yourself.
Is Missouri becoming a real staunch red state that's going to start leading when it comes to politics and conservative values?
It started a few years back when we started seeing the transformation of the COVID issues.
Being one of the assistant attorney generals here in the state of Missouri, I spent a lot of time in courts fighting for Missourians' rights, pushing back against A lot of federal government overreach that's been coming on the states by itself.
And right now, we have a great attorney general.
He's going after cases, going after Biden administration.
We have a great senator, Senator Schmidt.
I served under his administration when I was an assistant attorney general.
We're definitely a sounding red conservative state at this point here.
And we're leading the charge on a lot of the conservative issues.
And we'll continue to do that there because our freedoms are at jeopardy every single day.
And somebody has to stand up and actually push back.
Just like you learned in my time in the military, you got to push a little bit here to actually get some things done.
And that's the plan going up there to D.C. is knocking some heads, having a more of a we over me mentality to actually Get good conservatives and Republicans around issues and getting things done.
And I think one thing that you're seeing even more than ever, especially this time around, is that you're seeing more of different demographics lean over into the Republican Party.
And I think that's very, very interesting to see because the Democrats for a long time have taken advantage of You know, such groups as black voters, you know, promising them the world and never delivering.
And I think, you know, those type of segments are really starting to see that the Democrat Party doesn't have a plan.
They don't have anything.
All they do is they drive up debt.
They drive up inflation. They make it harder for you to live, harder for you to pursue that American dream by itself.
And the Republican Party is the party of making sure that you're, you know, Freedom overall and ensuring that we're limiting government overreach by itself to allow you to live your life.
And they're starting to see that message and they're starting to see that our values in the conservative movement are actually not just values, they're values that can actually play into how you live your everyday life and how it benefits society by itself.
And you see it under the Trump administration and we'll see it under this next administration of Trump as well when he wins here in November.
I want to lean more into that with some headlines you made in a debate earlier this year.
But I want to talk about kind of a strategy that I think is very important.
And I think that you're kind of part of this as well.
And I hope that the RNC leadership starts to realize this too.
And that's getting into these districts where you can win races, where you can actually
get out and get good candidates and win races.
And you know what?
It's hard to win in blue districts like St. Louis, New York City, Kansas City, Chicago.
It's hard to win in these districts.
But you can go out into rural areas and you can get a great candidate.
And they don't have to worry about political correctness.
That's what the people that vote in those elections want.
They want somebody that's going to tell it like it is.
They want somebody that's not looking over their shoulder, worried about political correctness.
You know, I think the Republican strategy moving forward when it comes to winning the House needs to be, we need to go into these districts like Missouri's third or where Marjorie Taylor Greene comes from or where Lauren Boebert comes from or where Thomas Massey comes from.
These are winnable races.
We can get a coalition of really...
Hardcore conservative representatives that don't care about political correctness are not living in fear of the fake news media.
This is how we change the culture of the Republican Party.
Do you think that we maybe are kind of seeing this and maybe the next election cycle, this 2024 election cycle, could be a big moment where we kind of have that realization and it's like, hey, you're going to sound like Byron Donalds.
You're going to sound like Thomas Massey.
You're going to sound like Marjorie Taylor Greene or you're not going to be a Republican anymore.
Yeah, no, I think we're already down that pathway by itself.
You know, political correctness has kind of gone out the window with a lot of these things.
You know, people want to see results.
They want to talk to an average-day person that's going to go up there and do things and actually get things done and promote conservative values and get this country moving again.
They care about what the political correctness is of you and stuff.
And I think that standard mold of a politician, per se, is kind of gone and has moved on and stuff.
And they're looking for people that are willing to be bold, looking for new, fresh conservative faces that will actually be bold and willing to stand up on issues, whether that's issues of DEI or working on things like the border or budget or different things in regards to social issues out there and not We have to make sure that we're working together as a party, though. I think that's a very critical component, is that you see the Democrats all the time.
They work in lockstep together.
And you see it up there in D.C. We see it here even in the Missouri House.
They'll work in lockstep together and we as a conservative movement have to make sure that we're in lockstep together because if we're united, we can pursue any pathway that we need.
Black Republican who shunned DEI by identifying as American says Dems free pass to minorities is over.
Republican Missouri State Representative Justin Hicks who became known last year for defiantly declaring he identified as an American during a heated debate with Democrats on DEI is running for Congress.
Talk about Was that just something that came natural for you?
Were you already thinking about making that play before the debate happened?
Yeah, no. To tell you a little bit of the background of it, I was actually back in the house lounge back there talking to another fellow colleague, and I got called out, inquired up of the floor, and I was actually a little bit shocked.
I was like, oh, okay, what's going on out there?
So they called me out there, and that's when they started inquiring of me about my ethnicity and how do I identify.
It just came to me naturally that I identify as an American.
I've never thought about myself as in all these race or anything like that.
I saw myself as an American.
I'm somebody who signed the dotted line, raised my hand to serve the country.
And in the military, it doesn't matter the color of the person next to you.
They're all your battle buddy at the end of the day.
They're going to I have to hold their life on the line just like you would for them.
And that's how we should treat all Americans.
You know, we shouldn't be looking at these arbitrary factors on your skin color or how you look or how you talk.
It doesn't matter at the end of the day.
We have a lot of the same ideals.
We want the same things. We want to find good schools for our kids.
We want to make sure that we can chart a pathway that our kids can have That better future than what we had.
It's always been that in this country, not identity politics.
And that's what the Democratic Party is doing is they're making it identity politics to try to tear us apart.
It's a Marxist idea to try to divide us instead of unite us as a country so that they can seize power off of these arbitrary factors.
And we have to stop it.
And that's what I was standing up for at that time and still do today is that We have to stop this here.
We got to move on, start the conversation on real issues that affect real people and real Americans in their every single day life.
And if we focus on that, we'll move the country forward.
If we keep focusing on the issues that the Democrats bring up, well, you already see where we're going right now.
We're definitely going in a spiral in this country.
It is. It is. And it's something that I learned in my six years in the service is that I'm a proud American.
I love this country and would give my life for this country and go serve again if I needed to.
And that's why I've always dedicated my life to public service because this country has given me so much that I'll never be able to repay it.
Growing up, I grew up I'm pretty poor here in St.
Louis County. I grew up with a father who didn't graduate college.
He grew up in Mississippi, had to drop out of high school to help work on the cotton fields there and moved to Missouri for a better life.
And unfortunately, he passed when I was 12 years old and my mom had to raise me and my two other brothers.
And thank God she did a good job at it.
But I learned at that early age that You had to pick yourself up from your bootstraps to start actually pursuing things, to get things done, to pursue your American dream.
And that's what I did to try to better my life.
And I expect the same thing for my children and for anybody else's children, is that this is a country that is based on equal opportunity.
It's not equal outcome.
And that's the message that needs to be pushed.
It's never been a country of equal outcome.
It's about putting your best foot forward to try to get a result.
And you might fail somewhere along the line, but it doesn't mean you don't pick yourself up and get back to work to do it again.
That's what makes us uniquely American.
That's what makes us the best country in the world is that we have such a spirit that needs to be united again in this country to get us back doing those things.
It is. It's completely destroying young Americans because it creates this victim mentality is what it does.
It creates this mentality where it's, oh, there's a big brother that's always suppressing me because I was born a certain color or look a certain way when that's not the case at all.
It's one of those things that if you're willing to put your best foot forward, you You can succeed and try to make something of yourself in this country.
And like I said, the Democrats really need to change that messaging by itself because it's tearing the country apart.
And we're starting to see your opinion neighbor against neighbor at this point.
We can have differences as Americans and some fundamental differences.
You know, it happens. It's supposed to be.
It's healthy by itself.
But we've gotten to a point in this country because of the rhetoric That Democrats have pushed, that people don't even see other Americans as Americans, and that's detrimental to this country.
unidentified
It's just like- They don't even see themselves as Americans.
A lot of them don't even see themselves as Americans.
You'll see crazy videos of burning flags and all this other stuff, or saying, oh, I'm going to leave the country.
It's like, good luck.
I've been to these other countries in the world, in the Middle East especially.
We are blessed. To what we have here.
And they do not realize that the amount of things that we have and the blessings that we have as a country that, you know, instead of sitting there and trying to create chaos and saying that, oh, we're oppressing groups and we're not because I have the same freedoms as you or anybody else out there.
What they should be doing is promoting a message of saying, hey, we can start uniting around core issues that, you know, that make us American.
And that's the message that we need to bring to Congress.
Those are the people that we need to promote to make sure that we go up there to DC and actually get things done.
Because right now, we're kind of in a stagnant place to where it's Penny neighbor against neighbor or it's, you know, you can't say this because you're a certain color or I'm a victim of something that's some ills of the past in American history that happened hundreds of years ago at this point here.
And a lot of the people that are promoting and touting these ideas didn't even grow up in those times and they have the same freedoms that you or I have.
Yeah. It's good to meet a fellow person that grew up here.
It's a great area to grow up in.
Missouri is definitely charting and becoming on the map, and we look forward to continuing good conservative values and pushing that forward up in D.C. Well, I look forward to you getting in the house and making yourself a household name.
All right. So Joe Biden said last night he did more for vets than Trump.
Meanwhile, Biden is responsible for over 40,000 homeless veterans on the street.
The Biden admin makes anywhere between $14,000 and $18,000 a month.
Meanwhile, the disabled veteran who's 100% perverted in total barely makes $3,700 a month.
I was a paratrooper in 82nd Airborne who fell 25 feet out of a watchtower.
I had a fellow paratrooper land on my back and the VA told me there was nothing wrong with my back, that I was faking it.
I went to a civilian doctor and they immediately found out that my SI joint was cracked and chipped.
Meanwhile, on top of that, the VA in 2022 denied me medical care because I couldn't wear a mask due to having panic attacks and my service dog needing proper facial ID in order to properly alert me.
I feel as if the VA has abandoned me and other veterans like me.
It's unfortunate not only that it's true that you have been abandoned in many ways, but it's really unfortunate you have to go through that and feel that way, and you're obviously not alone.
And I can only imagine, I can only imagine what it's like to have Biden stand up there and just lie, just lie about that, and then have stolen valor and lie for the hundredth time that his son died at war.
I mean, I just can't even imagine.
unidentified
I had to buy a new TV as of today because I put my fist in my TV when I heard that.
I'm glad you finished on a positive note with us today, Chris.
Thank you for the call. Let's go to an anonymous Air Force veteran in California who claims to work for the VA. So this should be interesting.
Go ahead. Hey, Owen.
Can you hear me? Yes, we have you.
unidentified
All right. Thanks, man. Hey, thanks for having me on.
Yeah, so I work for the Department of Veterans Affairs here in California, Palo Alto.
I'm also an Air Force veteran.
And it just infuriates me that when I go into work, there's a pride flag on our flagpole underneath the American flag and underneath the POW flag.
It's ridiculous. Like, why does it matter what sexual orientation you are and you want to put it where I serve my country and my flag, and I have to go to work and see that every day?
Well, I mean, you can imagine you're out on the battlefield and you misgender, you know, your general.
You misgender your lieutenant.
You misgender your squad commander.
I mean, oh my gosh, you know.
unidentified
It's so in your face, man.
And I can't get into medical information or anything like that, but, you know, I mean, there's these new boxes that you have to check for, you know, veterans that identify and whatever.
So, I mean, and it's such a minute population that I don't understand why all of this is It's just so minute, man.
You go somewhere where they have name tags so you can identify the people.
And they'll have their pronouns on their name tag.
And I just see this crap.
And it's just all such propaganda, man.
I'm just so sick of this crap.
unidentified
And it's just like...
I don't know, man. It's just, I feel bad for these older veterans, you know, to come on and they're just trying to get their care and they got to see a pride flag or a gay pride flag or whatever they call it.
I mean, would you like to say anything about the VA under Trump versus under Biden?
unidentified
It's switched dramatically.
As far as, like, equity and inclusion and all this stuff, we have to go to classes and take training modules and all this stuff about all this equity and inclusion and, you know, the racial diversity thing, which is fine.
I think everybody at the VA should be welcome to to work there and everybody should be welcome but I mean it's just it's just a little bit too much man just shoving stuff down your throat and I just wanted to say something to my fellow veterans that there is help for homelessness you know we have a really good program in Menlo Park California that you can talk to your social worker about and it's for homeless veterans and it's like a six-month program they get you a job you know you can sign up for you know HUD-VASH which is like a voucher where you know the government can help you you know get housing And there's just a lot of great programs.
Just talk to you guys as social workers and try to advocate for yourself because, like the last caller said, you know, I mean, they're not going to do it for you.
Well, and just to expand on that, and thank you for the call, you know, just if you're ever feeling like that as a veteran, like you're all alone or forgotten, you're not.
You're not. You're not all alone.
You're not forgotten. There are people that care.
There are people that want to help.
So just always remember that.
And that's why I dedicate one show every month to the veterans.
Back to you, Jake. All right, that was a cheap fake.
The Big Mike part was a cheap fake.
I got the crew, though. I got them.
Even they were like, what?
CNN called it Big Mike?
It was a cheap fake. We gotcha.
It's still funny, though.
Was it funnier than the golf ball whacking Joe Biden in the head?
It's all cheap fakes.
See, those are actual cheap fakes.
When Joe Biden falls down and fumbles around and slurs and forgets where he's at, those are real, but there are cheap fakes.
All right. Last segment here on a Friday of the InfoWars War Room, brought to you by InfoWarsStore.com.
We're taking calls from our great veterans.
On the line, let's go to Mark, Air Force and National Guard veteran in Texas.
unidentified
Mark, you're on the air. Go ahead. Wow, a whole lot of Missouri and a fadeaway AMRAM on that squid military intelligence guy dropping 45 or 100,000 year lie on us about how long the family's been around.
You know, if you pronounce Missouri the wrong way, you say Missouri, and if you say it worse, it's misery.
I appreciate Chris's participation, and I was wondering if there was a site, does he distribute donations to veterans?
If you do have access to a computer, you can just go back and watch the segments when he was on on Band Out Video, and we have it on his nameplate at the bottom of the screen.
So, niweemgroup.com.
unidentified
Yeah, there you go. I sent you guys a care package.
I signed a printout of a painting that I did.
For all those boys who fly airplanes, which you expressed some interest in when you were talking about the Blue Angels, I suggest you watch Van Hagar do Christopher Reeve in the A4s back when the Blues did their show and Van Hagar did that song.
That's quite a thing. My background is Similar aircraft from a different organization, but my St.
Well, yeah, I was going to say, the Blue Angels, I got to see them a lot growing up because the St.
Louis Air Show used to feature them.
It might still feature them, but the St.
Louis Air Show would feature them every year, and so I saw the Blue Angels a lot growing up.
unidentified
That's really something. And I lived in Creve Corps, listened to the St.
Louis Blues on the radio, and looked out there on whatever freeway that was.
Bartley Plager and Tim Ecclestone lived in my apartment complex.
And it's kind of funny, but sold my house in Alamogordo to a military veteran, an Army
guy, who had 80% lawn capacity left after they dropped the mop the day that they got
Guess What? End Days00:02:21

chlorine gassed in Afghanistan.
So there was a, I give thanks to God for that.
I just want to go out saying this.
I'm going to send a donation to help those veterans.
I appreciate it. We're all doing God's will, whether we like it or not.
So I think we need to learn to love it and love Him and keep His commandments.
Stop calling God a liar when you talk about the age of the heavens and the earth being greater than about 6,000 years.
Do you know what anisotropic light speed is?
No, explain it.
Okay. The speed of light across the universe is instant from its source.
That's how we can watch something at the low infrared level happen in real time that's 330 million, or billion for that matter, Flight years away.
That's James Webb telescope stuff.
So the whole point is this.
The all-knowing, omnipotent, almighty, holy, perfect, unchanging, right, totally righteous God created us in His image.
There is no separate race.
We're all one race and one blood.
We just have different amounts of melanin.
Some of us Kind of stood under the spray and got speckled.
So we have an even bigger problem if we're especially genetically challenged with all the recessive genes.
But the point is this.
Behold, I am with you always, even until the end of the age.
Well, guess what? We're in the end days.
We're in the sixth millennium.
All right? So get right with God.
Repent. Turn from your wicked ways.
Confess your sins.
Receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
He is God. The God.
Not a God.
Not just another nice guy that got murdered by a bunch of people who hate him.
Because let's face it, if they hate you, they hated him first.
And he is certainly not the Archangel Michael.

So we're all walking along that path from the one who is thinking all thoughts all at once Much faster than AI, and we need to repent, all right, and get with the program.
I think that's what's behind the whole AI, and really everything we do is we're trying to get back to what we once were in God's creation.
But that's a whole other thing that I don't want to expand on, because I want to take at least another call from a veteran.
Mark, thank you for the call. Let's go to Brian, Army veteran in Connecticut.
Brian, you're on the air. Go ahead.
unidentified
Yes, sir. How are you? Hey, good.
I'm so glad I got on.
What I want to do on 4th of July is, I'm a homeless veteran, so all day 4th of July, I'm going to be out in front of my local shopping mall with a sign.
I haven't decided what, but it's going to be something patriotic about, you know, defending America against enemies foreign and domestic, and just stand there with a sign.
It's time to pick up a rifle, so let's pick up a sign.
I want my fellow veterans to get out there and join me.
Even if it's only for a minute, snap a picture, let's get it up on the internet and make it go viral.
I have worked at a VA there in Houston, the old one.
Worst thing about the VA is that you can't fire anybody.
VA would run a lot better if you terminate a lot of these civil employees when they don't put out correct sufficient service.
I'm about compulsory service.
You're sitting here stealing my tax money, my parents' tax money, giving it to our enemies on a daily basis and killing me with it.
You're stealing my money at gunpoint through the IRS and as a Soldier, you're telling me to go fight your illegal wars while people that want to sit back and collect their 401 IRA and they think they're entitled to a career, a profession, a life here in America without the same sacrifice.
The problems we're seeing with the VA, And the problems with the lack of real knowledge by most citizens comes from the lack of real blood on the line.
When your rear end is on the line, be more inclined to keep up with The real information like you get from Alex Jones' show.
Well, and think about how crazy that is as I'm out of time here, William.
Thank you for the call. That you have all these leftists cheering on all this horrible foreign policy from Biden that might end up literally with them in combat that they are not likely expecting.
That does it for the Veterans Call-In Show.
Thanks to all of our great veterans.
We sign off for the weekend.

We'll see you next week. Your cardiovascular system is under attack.
Everybody knows it. And I've got in my hands two products that are absolutely insane when it comes to what they do for your body and your overall health.
