Speaker 1 (00:14):
Welcome to weekly Briefing. I'm Chanel Vian.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Is America's Department of Justice, the tainted arm of the
Democrat Party.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Has the federal.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Government become a ravenous beast trying to swallow, hole, and
devour the very people it is charged with protecting. These
are the questions House Republicans seek starting this week.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
They already know the answer. We all do.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
The DOJ has fallen from a once great bastion of blind,
unbiased justice to a slinking beast whose grotesque bias, power
and size has made it the ugliest, most shameful institution
America has ever birthed.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
In my time in Congress, I have never seen anything
like this. Dozens and dozens of whistleblowers FBI agents coming
to us talking about what's going on the political nature
at the Justice Department. Now, Jim Jordan's saying this, not Republicans,
not conservatives, good brave FBI agents who are willing to
come forward and give us the truth.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
We've seen this firsthand. The DOJ launched a year's long,
multi million dollar phishing expedition into President Trump and his
imaginary ties to the Kremlin. They launched zero investigations into
Joe Biden's financial uncorrupted ties with Ukraine and China.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Remember when I.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Reported on a phone recording given to us from the
Ukrainian Secret Service. These recordings revealed Joe Biden telling then
Ukrainian President Porshenko to sort out Ukrainian finances before Trump
could figure it out.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
I don't want Trump to get into physicition where he
thinks he's about to buy on a policy where the
financial system is going to collide and he's going to
be looking to pour more money in Ukraine. That's how
he'll think about it, before he gets sophisticated enough.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
To build a detail.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
The FBI did nothing.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Remember how Hunter Biden was taking a salary from the
most corrupt Ukrainian oil and gasoligark in Europe ten percent
for the big guy, Joe Biden. Remember, and Joe was
on tape bribing officials to save Hunter from investigation.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
All of this on tape. The FBI did nothing.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
But Hillary Clinton's lawyer calls up his FBI buddies and
tells them he has dirt on Trump and Russia.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
What do they do?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
The FBI drops everything and launches an investigation. We've seen
first hand how the DOJ sent an FBI gestapo to
raid Milania Trump's closet for classified documents, but when Biden
is charged, they mollycoddle his case and allow private attorneys
to politely go through his office for the same documents.

(02:58):
Honor system style, no raids, no roadblocks, no rotating helicopter
blades flying over Biden's beach house. We've seen how FBI
agents like Peter Struck and Lisa Page, top FBI officials
promised as secret lovers they were never going to let
Trump win his election. They got book deals in CNN contributorships.

(03:20):
We've seen how the FBI chose to go after J
six protesters at the actual expense of going after criminal pedophiles.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
They admitted this.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
We've seen firsthand how the DOJ colluded with the Biden
White House to treat American parents as domestic terrorists. On
and on we could go. The DOJ and the FBI
are compromised vessels. It's no longer protecting Americans of all colors, stripes,
and affiliations. It's now just representing Democrats, and worse, it's

(03:53):
targeting and attacking conservatives. So this week, House Republicans flex
their muscles to expose this fact. They've launched a series
of hearings on the weaponization of the federal government. They
brought in FBI whistleblowers who detailed how politicized the FBI
had become, and with their coming forward, Republicans like Matt

(04:14):
Gates were careful to outline exactly the nature of this committee.

Speaker 6 (04:19):
Mister Baker and miss Parker, baby, I want to or
I want to assure you both, will we come not
to trash the FBI, but to rescue the FBI from
political capture. And it seems as though that political capture
was really enhanced when Robert Muller took a lot of
the authority and power away from the field offices all

(04:43):
over our country and centralized that power.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
Naturally, Democrats loaded their cannons and started firing back using
Hollywood style spin control.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Essentially, what we.

Speaker 7 (04:54):
Heard from were a lot of their personal grievances. Hillary
Clinton's emails came up, the Hunter Biden laptops came up,
more coronavirus disinformation came up, and essentially their complaints that
they believed that they were essentially described as misinformation agents
and that the government worked with the media in order
to make that possible. We also heard from a couple

(05:16):
former FBI agents who raised a few concerns, but again
a lot of what we heard were personal opinions, not
so much evidence to back up Jordan's claim.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Keep in mind, the Biden White House sent out talking
points for their sheepish bimbos earlier, talking points prepared, no
doubt by Democrat pr Queen Anita Dunn, a woman who's
made it her life legacy to resuscitate dead and sleazy
candidates like Joe Biden and protect him from out of
her White House coven.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
The spin listen to this.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
They're likening this entire inquiry into our corrupted doj as
a reboot of the House on American Activities Committee.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Well good, now we can dig in with some facts.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
The House on American Activities Committee was set up in
nineteen thirty eight to hunt down communists and fascists working
to subvert America. Senator Joe McCarthy back then became head
communist hunter. And while Little Joe McCarthy was no saint
and the Hollywood left villainized him in the years following
the committee, the fact is Joe McCarthy was right, not

(06:23):
only were their communist spies subverting US from within. McCarthy
underestimated how many US government workers were actually working for
the Russians. The proof look up the Venona Project, a
US counterintelligence program tracking messages from Russian intelligence into the US.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
The Venona Project.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Proved people as high up as the State Department, like
Liberal Darling Alger Hiss was in fact Moscow's most valuable
agent inside the US government. At least three hundred and
forty nine senior bureaucrats and Democrat appointees with direct access
to the White House, to the State Department, to the

(07:06):
Treasury Department, in our entire top military departments. We did
not confirm this until decades after the fact. Ultimately, the
House an American Activities Committee was on target. So this
is House an American Committee two point zh well good,
I pray that it is.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
But the spin machine does not stop there.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
So after the White House drummed up this comically ironic
comparison between the House an American and this week's weaponization committees,
the memo goes on to condemn the effort to purge
politics from the DOJ as simply.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
A silly distraction.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
These extreme mega Republicans and Congress are choosing to make
it their top priority to go down the rabbit hole
of debunked conspiracy theories about a deep state instead of
taking a deep breath and deciding to work with the
President and Democrats.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
You mean the.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
Same President and Democrats who went behind our backs and
colluded with Twitter to silence Republicans about conspiracy theories.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Theories like the origins.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Of coronavirus coming from a Chinese lab, theories the vaccine
didn't work, theories about Hunter Biden's laptop. The Biden White
House's four page memo prepping their pals on how to
respond to the Weaponization Committee is very telling. They're worried
history might repeat itself and once again they find themselves

(08:39):
standing on the wrong side of all of it. So
you think we can't trust the DOJ. Let's shift over
to the state of our top military defense apparatus.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
When we come back.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Former Acting Secretary of Defense under Trump, Chris Miller on
the politicization of our Pentagon in the age of China.
This is a common The Biding regime certainly does not
want you to hear.

Speaker 8 (09:22):

Speaker 2 (11:30):
For years, the Pentagon has been slammed for transmografhying into
this money gobbling bureaucratic abyss, and under Joe Biden's watch,
our top defense department seems only to have further lost
sight of the mission at hand, focusing more on gender
pronouns than on killing the enemy. Joining us now is
someone who served inside this beast at the highest level

(11:53):
and has been its most blunt critic, a Special Forces
commander Green Bray, director of the National Accounter Intel Center.
And when President Trump needed a Secretary of Defense he
could finally trust, he tapped none other than Chris Miller,
who joins us now.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
Chris, you just came out with a new book, Soldier.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Secretary, and I got to tell you my son is
only almost two years old. When it comes time for
him to start reading, this will be a signed reading.
This was such an inspirational tale that you shared inside
Soldier Secretary.

Speaker 5 (12:24):
Sure, now I'm going to get weepy. That's exactly why
I wrote the book.

Speaker 11 (12:28):
You know, I was you know, I was a kid
in Iowa who you remember the days where there were
only three channels on TV, and you know, when your
parents came home, they watched what they wanted, and so
I had to read a lot, and I read memoirs.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
And biographies and history books.

Speaker 11 (12:43):
And that's exactly the goal I had is like, hopefully,
you know, some young person I know they don't read
as much. I know you're going to make your son.
That's good because we got to read more. But even
if it's the audible book, you know, what I really
wanted was hopefully some kid somewhere in the Midwest or
where whatnot, you know, reads it goes you know, there's
dignity and public service, and that's exactly what I was
hoping to do.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
So thanks for saying that.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Well, you got a chuckle out of me, and I'm
sure you'll get a chuckle out of your readers when
you were talking about you entered the service to serve,
you wanted to be a soldier who was on the battlefield.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
And at one point in.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Your career you're standing at the White House and you
called yourself a Christmas decoration. You were one of the
senior guys kind of standing watch over the VIPs walking
in and out of the White House. And what was
so extraordinary about that is just just a few years later,
several a few decades later, you would be tapped to
be one of those people who were the VIPs walking

(13:40):
in and having very important conversations with the President.

Speaker 11 (13:44):
Believe me, it was you know, you just can't explain
the juxtaposition. Yeah, I was in the Old Guard, which
is the Army ceremonial unit that does the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier and does all the ceremonies that you
see on TV. And yeah, I would stand out in
front of the White House anytime they had these big
banquets and those formal dinners, you know, the state dinners,

(14:06):
And what my job was to stand there with a
court on of all our service members, and as soon
as the VIP got out of the vehicle, I would
call everybody to present arms. We would salute and I
would drop my sword, and so you know, I'd served
in Korea, and I know you have a great background
in Korea. And then all of a sudden, the next
thing I know, I go from being like a field
soldier in the militarized zone carrying live ammunition to literally

(14:30):
being a toy soldier at.

Speaker 5 (14:31):
The White House. And then when I came back.

Speaker 11 (14:32):
The funnest times I had when I was Secretary Acting
Secretary of Defense would be to go out, because I
would always go out and talk to the soldiers and
the sailors, Airmann Marines that were out there and the
coast Guard people. It was so funny and I'd be like,
I used to have your job, and they would just
be absolutely in stitches.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
I really enjoyed that part of the job.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Well.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
I remember that there was a lot of rumbling in
the military community talking about how excited they were that's
finally someone who's in the field was actually leading the
Pentagon as acting sect deaf. And even if it was
for a short amount of time, there was excitement because
it was finally the sense that that someone who was
on the field in a combat role for many years

(15:15):
was finally going to lead the men. And that hasn't
always been the case with the top leader of the Pentagon,
which should surprise most people. You would think that a
soldier who has had years on the combat field would
then be tapped to lead the secretary as Secretary of Defense.
That just hasn't been the case in military history so far.

Speaker 5 (15:34):
It is surprising, you know.

Speaker 11 (15:35):
That's the point of the book is to try to
educate people to how their military works. But Chuck Hagel
was the Secretary of Defense. He served in Vietnam. But
I was the first person to serve in that office,
the Secretary of Defense, having you know, served in combat
in the field during the Global War on Terror. And
you know, I took that very seriously. And the people

(15:55):
inside the beltwegh, you know, they get stuck on you know, perks,
and they get stock on how many drivers they have
and all this stuff and in their next job, and
I realized, you know, the whole purpose of being in
that position was to help out members of our armed forces,
veterans and their families.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
And that's what I took really, really seriously.

Speaker 11 (16:16):
And I wish that more senior officials in the military
would do that.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
You talk about in the book too, about how how
much of the pentagon has become in the US military
has become a system of failing upwards. That is a
scary phrase for us to hear. The American people expect
for our military to only promote the most excellent men

(16:42):
and women for the job. But to say that that
that we're promoting failing upwards, that's that's a scary line.

Speaker 11 (16:49):
But channel, thanks for bringing that up, because you know,
you're taught and you're trained, and all your value system
is a young leader in the military is about, you know,
ethically correct behavior, morally correct, it's about selfless service. It's
about doing the job and not expecting personal reward or gain.

Speaker 5 (17:09):
And then it's.

Speaker 11 (17:10):
Also about accountability and responsibility. So that's the way you're
brought up. And then all of a sudden something happens.
It seems that at a senior officer rank, where politics
become more important than the ethos of the armed forces,
and that juxtaposition of you know, leaders saying do as
I say, not as I do, is really really concerning

(17:30):
to me.

Speaker 5 (17:30):
And that's kind of thank you for bringing that up.

Speaker 11 (17:32):
That's kind of the point of the book, too, is
to highlight that that didn't always that always wasn't the case,
and we need leaders that set the example, not just
in word, but indeed as well.

Speaker 5 (17:43):
And I've seen a real backsliding on that. And that's
what I was talking about, you know, failing upwards. I'm
not talking about the people in the field.

Speaker 11 (17:48):
I'm talking about those that get to the Pentagon and
get into DC and start playing the political games.

Speaker 5 (17:53):
And that's really really bad for our country.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Let's talk about the commander in chief, the guy who
supposedly in charge of our military, our entire military. He
just delivered a State of the Union speech this week,
and his focus on national security and foreign policy was
quite minimal. He did not speak a lot about China,
he did not speak a lot about the threat of

(18:17):
Iran or any or any of our really big national
security concerns. And then, of course he glossed over the
past week's big, big story, and that is the big
spy balloon that was floating across America. That is a
fascinating story. And I really want your take on this.
We are led to believe, as the American public, that

(18:40):
President Biden sat down, looked at the situation and said
shoot down that balloon, and his top Pentagon advisors said, no, sir,
we can't shoot that down right now.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
We'll have to shoot it down later.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
And this is coming from the same team that was
supposedly General Mark Millie who supposedly called China and said, hey,
I'm going to warn you ahead of time if Trump
ever decided to attack, that's a very scary scenario.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
What's going on.

Speaker 11 (19:07):
I wish I knew you brought up a great point.
I got a little I got a little weary. Towards
the end of the State of the Union last night.
I was waiting for the foreign policy national security piece,
because there always is one, and then it kind of
happened real quickly and it was gone, And so, you know,
you brought up the point. And I saw those generals
in the admiral sitting there, you know, with their stoic

(19:28):
stone faces, you know, because they can't show emotion because
that would show politics. And I think that's exactly the
role they're supposed to be playing. But I wonder if
you know they had a role in writing that speech.
They get to review it, and there wasn't anything in
there about our sovereign territory had been has been invaded
by the by this Chinese balloon. You know the key
point I make in the book that you know, American

(19:52):
our citizens pay a trillion dollars a year for national security,
and I want to know the rest of the story.
And thanks for asking the question and keep digging on
this because we don't know what happened. Like, no, a
dog on balloon came into our airspace and either we
didn't identify it, which is a huge problem, right, or
we did identify it, we decided to let this thing

(20:13):
just kind of kind of meander across the United States
there were some of our most secure facilities, and not
do anything about it. So here's the thing with the
trillion dollars, you think we would have the capability to
take control of a dog on balloon right without having
to put up one hundred million dollars jet fighter.

Speaker 5 (20:28):
I mean, seriously, that's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 11 (20:30):
It's like, come on, you people, were there's something fundamentally
wrong if we can't bring down a controlled descent yet
the sens going up, the scent's going down.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
Yeah, it's always embarrassing when you say something.

Speaker 11 (20:44):
Buddy start tweeting you like you're an idiot, which they
do regularly. But the point is simply, you know, mbally
account what's going on.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
And then you brought up a key point.

Speaker 11 (20:54):
I'm talking too much, I know, but you brob kind
of got me going on this when you brought up
a key point, right, like what.

Speaker 5 (21:00):
Kind of advice where they give me the price? They
call it best military advice.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
We need to find out what that was, Chris Miller.
We could talk.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
There's so many more things that we could talk about,
but we are all out of time. It was great
visiting with you, Soldier Secretary. It's available on Amazon now,
so order your copy.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
But Chris, thank you so much. It was a pleasure
to visit with you.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
I know we have more stuff to talk about, including
January sixth, but we'll have to save that for another time.

Speaker 11 (21:28):
Same anytime. Thanks for what you're doing and highlighting these issues.
So really really appreciate the time.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Next up, we visit with our panel of experts and
we dive in on the topics of the week.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Welcome back.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
President Joe Biden spent much of his State of the
Union address this week touting the economy he has shaped
over the past two years. On the heels of a
surprisingly strong jobs report, Biden directly appealed to blue collar workers,
a segment of the American population that swung hard for
Trump the past two elections.

Speaker 12 (24:23):
That's why we're building an economy where no one's left behind.
Jobs are coming back, Pride is coming back because choices
we made in the last several years. You know, this
is my view of blue collar blueprint to rebuild America
and make a real difference in your lives at home.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
All right, well, we brought our panel of experts to
weigh in on all this. Jonathan Alexander kick us off.

Speaker 13 (24:50):
Yeah, of course.

Speaker 14 (24:50):
I mean in the same breath where he's touting the economy,
he's putting forward measures or asking for specific legislation that
will unraval all that. One of the things he called
for was the pro Act, which basically decimate the gig economy.
So uber drivers, gym trainers, folks making stuff on Etsy,
if you're on Enngi's list. He's forcing these individuals to
become part of employment settings where they're paying union dues,

(25:12):
they'll have to report to an employer, they're paying taxes
on Social Security and Medicare. So in everything that he's
saying in order to uplift the blue collar worker through
the Proact, he's going to reverse all that. And it's
so on constitutional, the micromanaging of individual contracts. He even
goes further and says he wants to stop hotels from
charging fees, So are services from charging fees. So he's

(25:35):
unraveling and progress that his attonomy.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Well I knew I wasn't the only one.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
He thought that was funny that we were talking about
resort metees.

Speaker 15 (25:41):
Aitanies instead of big things like, for example, inflation.

Speaker 13 (25:44):
I mean, talk about blue collar.

Speaker 15 (25:46):
They're feeling the inflation more than anybody because they have
to choose in some cases between going on vacation, a
small vacation with their family or put or having somebody
you know, just drive across the city, etc. You know,
gas prices, everything is way up. And so for him
to talk about that he's looking at for the blue collar.
I mean, inflation is up. It was one and a

(26:06):
half percent when when we're joined and now it's seventy.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
It peaked at nine percent on his watch, and it
was like, Joanna, it was like he was saying, look
at all the things I have fixed, don't mention that I.

Speaker 16 (26:17):
Broke them right, and not to mention by the way
he canceled the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy. You
were second that office, which I was working in with
doctor Peter Navarro, after plagiarizing President Trump's entire by American
higher American agenda during his campaign, which is why we
released a report in October of twenty twenty before the
election to set the record straight. However, Biden has not

(26:41):
lived up to any of those promises. Low unemployment happened
under Trump, and it's skyrocketed even in April, I think
it was fourteen percent April of twenty twenty one, spiked
right after Biden took office. And he's canceling tariffs, which
hurts blue collar workers because now American companies are sourcing
and other Asian countries for their workers in questionable slave

(27:03):
labor to make our goods.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
There was a heavy component in there where he said
that we were going to make sure that we're manufacturing
in America or that we are sourcing out of America.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
But another thing.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Too was how he started talking about the fact that
he has brought down this unemployment and unemployment rate. It's
one thing to say that you have low unemployment, but
then it's another thing to combine that with is it
low unemployment in a strong economy or is it low
unemployment where people are struggling and they're having to take

(27:34):
out second jobs because they're funding you know, everything's much
more expensive, so much more expensive.

Speaker 14 (27:41):
And what you mentioned, he says he wants to manufacturing
in the US, but forcing the federal government to buy
electric cars made from Chinese parts. I mean, everything he's
saying is no longer consistent with Scranton and Joe, and
no one is believing that he has the same even
if he had those underpinnings at the start of his career.
He is so much further from that than we need
as an executive, and communistic agenda is ultimately going to

(28:03):
be a detriment to our economy.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
That's a good point.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Biden's State of the Union came on the heels also
of his administration allowing a Chinese fire balloon to traverse
the entire mainland of the United States.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
While Biden did shoot the balloon.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
Down over the Atlantic Ocean, or rather his team did,
critics slammed him for.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Not acting quickly enough.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
Biden hardly mentioned China in his speech, but did manage
to say that China is on the run.

Speaker 17 (28:29):
In the past two years, democracies have become stronger, not weaker.
Autocracy's growing weaker, not stronger. Name me a world later
to change places with shijiping, Name me one, Name me one, John.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
I feel like he was about to then rip open
his shirt and start.

Speaker 15 (28:47):
Anger issues there. I mean, seriously, come on, mister President,
so unbelievable. But back to the spy balloon, and think
about it. You had so many opportunities for him to
shoot this down. It came over the illusions, it took
off from China, came over the illusions, then went all
the way down the Pacific, had plenty of and then
over Canada, a lot of open space in Canada. And
then you have the two senators from Montana when it

(29:08):
was finally discovered by somebody looking up in the sky
and they said what is this and got out there
on Twitter. They weren't going to say anything about it
at all, but the two senators Republican Democrat from Montana,
they even said there was no problem taking it down
over their state. And so then they allowed this spy
balloon to traverse all the way across. Make no mistake,
this was a literal trial balloon from the Chinese Communist

(29:30):
Party because they wanted to see Number one, they wanted
to actually get intel across our most sensitive military sites
in some cases. But number two, they wanted to judge
how weak Biden was and how wanting he would be
in the response. And he showed the whole world that
he is just flat footed on anything national security related.
If he's going to allow this Chinese Communist Party balloon

(29:51):
to go across our country and not say anything about it,
it was a real disaster for Biden.

Speaker 16 (29:56):
And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't and John,
you'd know more about this than I I would. How
is it that the DoD kind of made the decision
for Biden?

Speaker 1 (30:05):
So when they shut him down at first, he was thinking, okay,
well shut it down.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Apparently he told them he said I want to shoot
this down, and then his top brass told him not now, sir,
We're not going.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
To listen to you.

Speaker 16 (30:17):
Not now that that seems completely unpresent chief.

Speaker 13 (30:21):
So look, he can't.

Speaker 15 (30:22):
When we're in the Trump White House with the National
Security Council, it was very clear that President Trump was
the decision maker and he was clear on that there.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
John So actually lay that out.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
So if a commander in chief actually has a wish
and says I want this to happen, doesn't top isn't
top brass obliged to then say, yes, sir, let's figure
out the safest best way to do that.

Speaker 13 (30:46):
That's exactly right.

Speaker 15 (30:47):
Although they can say our recommendation is not to do
that mispresent and the pact is and here's why, and
then he can decide there. But that shows him being
very weak because the decisions were very clear, according to
this endors from Montana and according these other ones, and.

Speaker 14 (31:02):
It wasn't asking for advice at this point. He gave
an order, let's shoot this thing down, and based on
their recommendation, he decided to pull back that order, which
once again shows the lack of his ability to command.
You know, his line at the end, there was name
a world leader that would like to trade places of
the Chinese president, but plenty ward leaders are fine and
wouldn't want to trade Biden in for anything, because they

(31:22):
like in nuclear Iran, they like a China being able
to run a month. They like Vladimir Putin being able
to encroach on Europe, so they don't want Biden being
traded out. They don't want a strong executive in the
White House because they wouldn't be able to do any
of the globalistic agenda and push that forward had there being.

Speaker 15 (31:38):
To Jonathan's point, I mean, look, under President Trump, no
bad actors did anything.

Speaker 13 (31:43):
They all stood down. Putin for the first.

Speaker 15 (31:46):
Time, did not invade a neighbor and then he had
invaded the neighbor under Obama and then now under Biden.
But he didn't do anything about invading anyone because Trump
projected this image of strength. It wasn't just an image.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
The classic weakness invites aggression and we've all learned that
in college. Right.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
While Biden did spend the majority.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Of his time talking about the economy, one topic he
didn't spend much time on was crime. In fact, he
only mentioned the word crime four times during his entire
seventy minute speech. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump released a two
minute counter to Biden's State of the Union, hammering Biden
for ignoring the rise of crime throughout our country.

Speaker 18 (32:26):
Over the past two years, under Biden, millions and millions
of illegal aliens from one hundred and sixty different countries
have stormed across our southern border. Drug cartels are now
raking in billions of dollars from smuggling poison to kill
our people and to kill our children. Savage killers, rapists,
and violent criminals are being released from jail to continue

(32:50):
their crime wave, and under Biden, the murder rate has
reached the highest in the history of our country.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
Joanna, it's remarkable that that was one of the first
items that President Trump pick to respond to the State
of the Union. He was very astute in that, I
think a lot of independence also feel very strongly about
the issue of crime in our country right.

Speaker 16 (33:12):
Now, right because it's so personal. I mean, even my
sister living in New York City, I mean, it looks
like a different city even compared to when President Trump
was in office. She can barely walk home safely at
night without some reports somewhere happening in these nice neighborhoods.
As President Trump mentioned, one hundred and sixty different countries,
illegal immigrants pouring over our border.

Speaker 1 (33:32):
And President Trump.

Speaker 16 (33:33):
Has even highlighted the fact that he wants to crack
down on drug traffickers. Each of them are responsible for
killing approximately five hundred people each.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
Oh, that's right.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
He wants the death penalty for those who are charged
with trafficking drugs, right, yes.

Speaker 16 (33:47):
Yes, And it's a huge problem. And we have zero
action this open border, the lack of funding for our police,
all the disasters happening in our cities are interrelated. And
President Trump is the one guy that knows how to
deal with this, and he will show no mercy to
people trying to kill innocent Americans in this country.

Speaker 14 (34:07):
So you're point of the culture of nihilism that this
creates when there isn't authority, when there isn't a strong
police force. Se if you go shopping down in DC
right now, the crossing guards will tell you to keep
your valuables close. I mean they're yelling at you across
the streets saying it's a dangerous thing to be walking
with your bags.

Speaker 5 (34:23):
I mean that's almost in.

Speaker 14 (34:24):
Every city where Philadelphia, New York are like third world
countries now.

Speaker 13 (34:27):
And you have even out of DC cash list.

Speaker 14 (34:29):
Bail undermining safety, and an administration that doesn't want justice
to be done in the courts, releasing criminals. And that's
all this culture that's being built, and Biden says nothing
about it in the speech.

Speaker 15 (34:40):
And as Jonathan said, look, the violent crime rate in
the big cities is up by thirty seven, close to
forty percent in a lot of the big cities. And
that's across the board. And what are these big cities,
what do they have in common? They're all run by democrats.
They've been run by democrats for a half century. So
at some point when you are in a big city,
I live in Washington, DC. At some point, you would

(35:01):
think that everyone would wake up and they would say.

Speaker 13 (35:03):
Look, we are a law and order city.

Speaker 15 (35:05):
But it's exactly the opposite, because liberals and woke prosecutors
are running the show in a lot of those cities,
and there has to be accountability.

Speaker 1 (35:13):
There does, and lot there seems to be there.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
There seems to be a lot of denial going on
in a lot of these policies and a lot of
lack of introspection right and they're constantly just shoving these
agendas down the pipeline and it continues to bring not
only the same results, but we continue to trudge into
worst territory.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
So all good.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Points when we return, former Twitter executives are thrust into
the fire. Plus, China now has more land based ICBM
launchers than the United States. Should we be concerned, We'll
be right back.

Speaker 8 (35:58):
Hey everyone, here's a question for you. What does Roku TV, AppleTV,
and Amazon fireTV all have in common? The answer is
that all three platforms offer you the ability to live
stream One America News network from your Roku TV, AppleTV
or Amazon Fire device. Simply go to the app store,

(36:19):
search out for an then enjoy all the great programming
offered by O in including my show Real America.

Speaker 9 (36:28):
Listeners are always asking me how can they watch ONN live.
The solution is a simple streaming platform called cloud tv
spelled k l O wd TV. Simply go to cloudtv
dot com and subscribe to watch the twenty four to
seven live feed of OAN. The live package is only

(36:49):
two dollars and fifty cents per month. For all that
you can watch, go to cloudtv dot com today. That's
cloudtv dot com spelled with a K.

Speaker 8 (36:59):
And Hey, did you know that One America News network
has launched a twenty four to seven Twitter like social
media replacement. We're calling it free Talk forty five. So
why is it branded free Talk forty five? Well, free
talk because you will not be censored for expressing your
opinion there, and forty five because forty five is a

(37:23):
really lucky number. So join us at free Talk forty
five and express yourself with no fear of cancelation.

Speaker 9 (37:31):
Ever, if your cable provider doesn't offer One American News network,
please call them up and kindly demand that they carry
O ANDN. You're the customer, and without your feedback, your
cable provider will not know that there's strong demand for
one American news network. Please call your cable company today

(37:52):
and kindly demand that they add ONN to their channel lineup.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Three former Twitter executives testified under oath before the House
Oversight and Accountability Committee for the first time about Twitter's
decision to censor the Hunter Biden laptop story just weeks
before the twenty twenty election. During this hearing, Louisiana Congressman
Clay Higgins suggested the executives may face some serious consequences.

Speaker 19 (38:28):
So the FI use this relationship with Twitter to suppress
criminal evidence being revealed about Joe Biden one month before
the twenty twenty elections. You ladies and gentlemen interfered with
the United States of America twenty twenty presidential election knowingly
and willingly. That's the bad news. It's going to get

(38:51):
worse because this is the investigation part. Later comes the
arrest part. Your attorneys are familiar with that. As a gentleman,
I like just been five hours with these ladies and
gentlemen during deposition. Surely yet to come, but for right now,
I yield the balance of my time to my colleague,

(39:11):
mister George Jonathan.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
I would love to sit in on those depositions in
front of Clay Higgins, but I can't help but think
of a I feel like we've been thrust into a
John Grisham novel when I listened to.

Speaker 14 (39:22):
Him, Yeah, it's excellence being done. And you know, great
Republican majority of Oversight Committee doing what they should have
what ought to be done. And it's what's actually happening
here is Biden campaign colluding essentially with a free speech platform,
and it's you know, Twitter's obviously a private company, but
when you have the FBI prodding this along and urging

(39:42):
this along and trying to keep the story, then it
becomes a First Amendment violation. And I think that was
clear there. One of the exchanges that were so interesting
were how detailed the Twitter executives knew the content that
they were suppressing. So they get the emails and they say, well,
I'm not really sure what that link is, but when
they're pressed, that's the content they knew lockstep exactly what
was being hidden and suppressed. And one of the exchanges

(40:04):
said they had to come up with the explainability argument,
a made up word that Twitter execus are using in
order to suppress first amendments.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
How close are we to a point where it would
How close are we to the Clay Higgins scenario where
individuals like those Twitter executives would actually go to prison.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
Is there a scenario actually where that would happen.

Speaker 14 (40:26):
Well, if there's a violation of free speech, and that
can only occur when the government's involved, that there's a
collusion between the FBI in order to suppress the ability
for prosecutors to move forward with certain actions, then those
individuals that are suppressing that evidence can be held or
at least brought up in front of court to see
if they are complicit and hiding that crime. I think
it may take one or two steps away from this investigation,

(40:46):
but certainly this is a really good start.

Speaker 15 (40:48):
So to Jonathan's point, I mean, these social media companies,
whether it's Facebook, whether it's Twitter, whether it's Google. In
some cases, what they do is they are like the
mob bell of fifty years ago. And this is where
we like, can you imagine fifty years ago in the
nineteen fifties, when let's say a presidential candidate like Dwight
Eisenhower running and somebody didn't like them, and they got
the FBI to go and basically say, if you start

(41:10):
to talk good things about about the candidate Eisenhower, then
suddenly your phone line goes dead.

Speaker 13 (41:17):
That's exactly what happens here.

Speaker 15 (41:18):
Because it's essentially what would they say if the FBI
went and told the phone company cut off that guy's line.

Speaker 13 (41:24):
That's exactly what happened it.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
That's an excellent way of putting it. And that's exactly
what Twitter has become. It has become the space by
which the American people communicate with one another.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Excellent point.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
A new report from the Wall Street Journal revealed that
China now has more land based intercontinental ballistic missiles ballistic
missile launchers than the United States.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Says, the US does still have a bigger nuclear.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
Force than China at this point, John, but it does
seem like they're catching.

Speaker 13 (41:54):
Up very quickly.

Speaker 15 (41:55):
So on the National Security Council when we work there
under President Trump, he was very concerned, particularly not So,
he was concerned across the board about China and they
were ramping up their capability as this new report shows
that they have more ICBM facilities. To your point, they
don't have as many missiles as we do, but they're
preparing for that. But what was of even more concern

(42:17):
and as bad as that is, and it is very bad,
what they were doing with their navy and what they
have done with their navy is really a huge threat
to us because and that's why President Trump really wanted
to go to the three hundred and fifty five ship
navy as opposed to the three twenty three twenty five around.

Speaker 13 (42:33):
Which we are right now.

Speaker 15 (42:34):
And he said, look, we need to start building ships,
we need to start amping up, ramping up our infrastructure.
And the Chinese have surpassed us in the number of
naval vessels they have and they're very focused on the
South China Sea and Taiwan. It's something we really need
to watch, as well as the nuclear threat.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
And famously, the war games that we have engaged in
where we've conducted scenarios where the United States does go
to worth China, we have consistently lost, which should be
of a.

Speaker 1 (43:02):
Horrible red sign, a red flag for us.

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Right Those war games are stimulated by the best of
the military thinkers, and they're consistently saying over the years
that we are losing to China if we were to
get into a war, and.

Speaker 14 (43:16):
That's a one on one fight, not to mention if
we're fighting a war on two fronts. And if you
look at history, North Korea and I Ran did the
same sort of thing to head empty silos, but they
got their armaments ready. And if we're fighting a nuclear
I Ran. Ostensibly, if we're fighting in North Korea and
in China at the same time, I fear those war
games may even have an even worse outcome. And we're
decimating our military not recruiting enough.

Speaker 15 (43:38):
And a quick note on that that Jonathan has is
that we are putting so much money into Ukraine right now,
and we are also giving a lot of munitions, and
we're not really focused on our defense. We need to
focus on China. And as bad as hey, look, we
feel all bad for the Ukrainians, but we've given them
sixty five now one hundred billion dollars and meantime we're
losing to China on the front about building our own

(43:59):
Reaponorry need to focus on China.

Speaker 13 (44:01):
Not so much Ukraine.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
And then it goes back also to that conversation that
I think Trump spearheaded a lot back in the day,
and that is allies that are closer to that region
that the effects need to be jumping in and pulling
their fair share, because the United States is not the
endless piggybank as we have been treated. Trans Lives Matter
protesters stormed and occupied the.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
Oklahoma Capital Building this past week.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
The protesters were upset over GOP backed bills that would
prohibit sex change operations for people under the age of
twenty six.

Speaker 1 (44:33):
You look at this.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Footage, Joanna, this looks very similar to what happened on
j six, and I do not see any conversations slamming
those protesters.

Speaker 16 (44:46):
It's truly a shame. You know, right here in DC,
in our nation's capital, we've got guys locked up who
have been in there for over two years now, some
on pre trialed attention. Okay, we have a gross weaponization
of our guns happening. Guys that spent nineteen months in
solitary confinement when Nelson Mandela and the entire United Nations

(45:08):
adopted his provision of no more than fifteen days in
solitary confinement.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
Chanelle, I don't know.

Speaker 16 (45:13):
If this is there's more blatant example of disparate treatment
based on political affiliation, and by the way, on the
transgender issue.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
The suicide rate.

Speaker 16 (45:25):
You know, they make this claim about how trans people
once they get the surgeries, their mental health improves. That's
not true. Those people are leading others to their deaths
and loss of their souls within ten to fifteen years afterwards.
I think the suicide rate sparks twenty twenty times higher
than those are their peers.

Speaker 1 (45:45):
So this is that's a great point.

Speaker 2 (45:47):
And in another conversation that's not being had just because
it's so gory, is the actual, the actual things that
have to happen in order for someone to transition. The
female to male transition surgery is just appalling, like it's.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
You can't even talk about it.

Speaker 14 (46:06):
And we ought to mention exactly what they're lobbying for.
So double misectomies for underage girls, you know, the plasties
where they remove skin from the forearm to create a
fake fallas. I mean, these are what these advocates are lobbying.
And thankfully you have strong governors like the one in
Oklahoma and other states that are realizing that no, this
is atrocity. Is what we're doing. We're maaming children. I mean,

(46:28):
it's TikTok challenges that are saying, hey, your hair color
is not good enough, or your arm's too long, and
by the way, your genitals don't fit with your body,
so you have to change these things. And that's so
beyond the pale of what polite society should be dealing with,
and certainly not to be legislated or tolerated by by
a lobby that's pushing I think what.

Speaker 2 (46:47):
Can mostly be agreed upon here is the fact that
it's not even the surgeries themselves. It's really just the
age that they're imposing this on, right, they're advocating for.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
Because it's one thing.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
You see these male headlines of a guy who wants
to become a dragon, so he cuts off his ears
and nose and like he becomes a dragon.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
He's an adult.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
He clearly has some issues, but he's dealing with that
and he can do that. But if you start imposing
those kinds of permanent changes on a child, it's a
different conversation.

Speaker 13 (47:18):
Absolutely.

Speaker 15 (47:18):
And then to join his point, where are the January
sixth like hearings about this insurrection quote unquote, And it
was just like this January sixth and nobody's in jail
over it, and they're not going to hold hearings and
let alone, where were the hearings about the big protests
where people were crawling over the walls of the White
House while we worked.

Speaker 13 (47:36):
There, and it was just nothing there. The George Floyd riots,
that was a scary time. Yeah, they had about.

Speaker 15 (47:42):
Forty people were that were killed, forty police officers and
others that were killed in millions of or there were
hundreds of black owned businesses that were decimated in the
inner cities.

Speaker 13 (47:52):
So anyway, it's just a double stand.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
You're right, and I remember that time. I mean, there
were times when we couldn't walk into the White House.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
If both of you know this too.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Walking into the White House was actually a scary thing
because you had, you know, Antifa activists throwing bottles of
urine at the Secret Service who were outside the outside
of the White House walls.

Speaker 15 (48:12):
Bless they're great policemen there for the Secret Service and
they had to endure that.

Speaker 13 (48:17):
And it's just outrageous.

Speaker 16 (48:18):
And President Trump remains fully committed to solving this issue,
the weaponization of government, the trands on our kids. He's
made so many videos and statements, and I hope that
everybody is listening because this is a crime against humanity,
a crime against Americans and our freedom and our constitution,
and so.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
We're ready to roll.

Speaker 16 (48:36):
President Trump is ready to hit hard the second he
gets re elected.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
Panels, we're all out of time, great topics, great conversation,
and scary stuff. Always a week of terrible news, but
also sometimes those glimmers of hope that we're changing, we're shifting,
and the madness will soon subside.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
But hopefully, hopefully we'll be able to keep that. Thank
you guys.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
When we come back, one of the hottest names on
the Internet joins the show, a man unafraid to thrust
himself headfirst into any cultural battle, imaginable Nick Adams.

In the ugly world of Hillary Clinton's and Gloria Steynem's,
the modern man has fallen far. He's regressed, whipped into
the shadows of submission by a culture of menophobic lesbians
and baby killing she devils, until finally they have molded
him into their vision of a perfect man.

Speaker 20 (51:50):
Day one of being a stay at home husband. Made
us some tea and cuddled on the couch, And then
I started to pack her lunch before she went to
work with all her favorite foods, snuck in a love
no drove her to work, came back to a mess,
proof of me cleaning the mess.

Speaker 13 (52:08):
Juice brake.

Speaker 20 (52:10):
Put away some leftovers from the night before, starting to unpack,
met my wife at the train stop, had dinner together,
packed her lunch, can't forget her snacks, and sent her
off to bed.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
All right, So here to join us as a man
who wholeheartedly does not endorse this message. The founder of
Flag Foundation for Liberty and American Greatest Greatness, Nick Adams.
Your thoughts on this new modern man.

Speaker 21 (52:39):
Well, Chanelliver, I've seen a man that is in urgent
need of a visit to Hoodahs at least ready to
ate a kilo of stike and a bucket of chicken wings.
It is definitely this gentleman because his testosterone levels have
to be hovering somewhere around these ankles, and his wife

(53:00):
cannot be happy about that, whether he's stay at home
or he's not. So we are looking at the ultimate
beta feminist mile there, and you're right, it is tragic
that men have regressed to this particular point. I'm very
sad to see what I just saw.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
Well, you have made quite a social media profile out
of out of pushing back against that very message in
a very humorous way. You become known as the Alpha
male of Twitter basically.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
But behind all the humor is that underlying message that
we have.

Speaker 2 (53:39):
Molded a culture and society that glorifies what we just watched,
and to each their own, everyone has their own lifestyles
and ways of living. But there's fundamentally something a little
bit off about a man.

Speaker 1 (53:52):
Who just completely reverses roles.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
Not to be super old fashioned here, but he's seemed
like he was not eating any of the things that
he was making.

Speaker 21 (54:05):
Look, you're right, Unfortunately, this is where we have gotten
to in society. I like to use humor to really
get the point across and reach people potentially that I
wouldn't ordinarily reach. But there is a great amount of
seriousness and reality to the things that I like to

(54:26):
talk about. And the truth is, Chanell that right now,
young ladies are thriving and that's a great thing at universities,
in high schools, in colleges, but men aren't. Men are
dropping out at the highest rate ever, men are applying
for university at the lowest rate ever. Men feel like

(54:51):
they've been left behind, and men have been left behind.
They've been told that because women historically have not attended
university at the same level or the same rate that
they have, that now they need to pay a price,
that they should stand back, they should hold back, that
they shouldn't be so aggressive and ambitious and hard working.

(55:13):
That it's time for the ladies to shine. And you know,
this generation or a few generations now men just have
to suffer. And I don't want to live like that,
and I know men don't. And the truth is that
if we look at this, we've got China flying spy
balloons over our country. If we're going to have any

(55:34):
chance of this staying and American century we need fifty
percent of the workforce we need, which are men active.

Speaker 22 (55:43):
We need fifty percent of the population feeling as though
they can contribute, so that we're working at one hundred
percent on all cylinders to be the best country in
the world.

Speaker 2 (55:56):
This has become very much a political conversation as much
such as it is a societal conversation, and you brought
that right into the fray when you put out this
week a response to President Biden's State of the Union.

Speaker 1 (56:12):
I want to show our audience a clipless, mister President.

Speaker 23 (56:15):
Our young American men, our treasure, our future, are largely lost.
They've been told to take a back seat. They are demoralized.
They have been told they need to pay for the past,
that their masculinity is toxic, that they are the problem.

(56:37):
While young American women now overwhelmingly thrive at school, university,
and in the workplace, our young men are dropping out
of school and university at historic rates and applying for
university and colleges at lower rates than ever before.

Speaker 2 (56:58):
So, Nick, while you're all verrele message is treated with
some comic relief, you actually do have a message that
is measured, that is legitimately the concerns of so many,
but it is so unspoken because it is it's almost
taboo to talk about the plate of the modern male.

(57:19):
Is there a way to revert course without going way overboard?

Speaker 21 (57:26):
Well, we certainly don't want to go overboard. I mean
the reality is Chanelle that I tell I have obviously
legions these days of young American male fans, and they
often come to me for advice. They often come to
me asking them, asking me to do a cameo video
or what have you, and at various times dispense advice,

(57:49):
and my advice to them always is to be a gentleman.
My advice always.

Speaker 24 (57:53):
Is to respect ladies, but not to do it at
their own expense, not to go out of their way
to do it unnecessarily, to be an alpha male.

Speaker 21 (58:08):
To do what feels right in their heart and in
their mind, to have confidence, to be able to go
through society and feel as though that they can be
who they want to be. They don't have to be
some soft, feminized cropt version of themselves. I want our

(58:34):
young males to be very, very bold. I want them
to be confident. I want them to be men, Chanelle.
I want them to have the same sense of humor.
I mean when I see young males today, and this
is all around the world. I mean, I'm young, I'm
only thirty eight years old, but a sixteen year old

(58:55):
today is very different to a sixteen year old male
in two thousand when I was growing up. The level
of masculinities is just not there. And it's because they
have been so beaten and battered by the feminists and
the woke and the left and the politically correct and
the cancel culture. People to be so timid and concerned

(59:18):
and terrified of upsetting anybody, and they want to tiptoe
on eggshells and they don't want to offend.

Speaker 1 (59:26):
And Adam's pleasure to visit with you.

Speaker 2 (59:29):
Happy Valentine's Day to all those who are celebrating, and
hopefully they follow your lead in that regard.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
Thank you so much. That's all the time we have.
