Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Welcome to weekly briefing.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm Chanel rihon an established government. We have one, but
it's not your government. Is it far from representing you,
the American citizen. The government this week, on nine to
eleven's twenty first anniversary, is labeling you a terrorist indistinguishable
from al Qaida.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
The threat landscape has evolved considerably over the last twenty years.
You know, back when nine to eleven occurred. In those years,
we were very focused on the foreign terrorist.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Now we are seeing an.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Emerging threat, of course, over the last several years of
the domestic violent extremist, the individual here in the United
States radicalized to violence by a foreign terrorist ideology, but
also an ideaology of hate, anti government sentiment, false narratives
propagated on online platforms.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
False narratives like the Hunter Biden laptop story, or skepticism
around the vaccine, or discussion that COVID could have been
designed by a Chinese lab. All these narratives proved true,
except in the deranged incompetence of a government that hates
its subjects.

Speaker 5 (01:23):
You know, the President has been really clear that Congressional
Republicans that extreme MAGA agenda that you heard him talk
about last week is a threat to the rule of law.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
But what this White House and what this government proves
every second it exists, is that it is the other
way around completely. It is the Biden government that holds
an ideology of hate against you, who themselves are the
domestic extremists, who themselves are radicalized by foreign ideologies. It
is the Biden government propagating false narratives on online platforms

(01:56):
like Twitter and Facebook, platforms that them selves are compromised
by foreign governments.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
And false narratives.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
If this week's whistleblower is to be believed, Peter Zatko,
Twitter's former security chief, laid out a damning testimony before
Congress Tuesday. The Twitter whistleblower warned foreign agents of China
and India are actively on Twitter's payroll.

Speaker 6 (02:18):
And this kind of vulnerability is not in the abstract.
It's not far fetched to say that employee inside the
company could take over the accounts of all of the
senators in this room, given to the real harm, given
the real harm to users in national security.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
If these allegations are true, China and India have right
now unfettered access to Twitter's two hundred and thirty eight
million daily users. Zatko says, this isn't just any kind
of access. They have names, birth days, addresses, exact physical locations.
Clearly an issue of national security. But you know what,

(02:56):
the last time we talked about the Biden administration and
it's worked with Twitter, they were busy not talking about
this glaring security vulnerability, but talking about which conservative accounts
to cancel and silence. Zago was fired by Twitter earlier
this year. He wasn't someone Twitter just let go. They
paid him seven million dollars on his way out, but

(03:17):
that wasn't enough to keep his assessment quiet before Congress.

Speaker 6 (03:22):
They don't know what data they have, where it lives,
or where it came from, and so unsurprisingly they can't
protect it. You can think of it this way, which
is it doesn't matter who has keys if you don't
have any locks on the doors.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Zacho may have been talking about a big tech giant
and it's shocking vulnerabilities, but he also perfectly described the
state of the Biden administration and the government it pretends
to be. Replace data with the word America.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Biden and his.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Big government minions don't know the America they have. They
don't know where it came from They don't understand why
we started a revel to escape the dictates of an oppressive,
backwards and overinflated monarchy.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
They don't understand our roots.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
It's both their total ignorance and their total and extreme
hatred for everything that America ever was. Thank the Biden
administration support for Project sixteen nineteen to teach kids how
ugly America's roots are, while dissolving Trump's seventeen seventy six Committee,
a group whose mission it was to promote the good
that was America's founding.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
To Zatko's point.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
About his former Big Tech boss, when the leaders don't
understand their kingdom, they have no ability.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
To protect it.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
In the case of Biden's administration, with the exception of
Kamala Harris's infinite and aptitude, it goes beyond lacking ability.
We've now reached a point in all of this where
we actively wonder to what extent they're sabotaging our daily
lives on purpose, Exposing us to the deadly communities of
defund police and no cash bail reform, passing massive spending

(04:58):
bills to crush our economy and spike inflation, handing over
Iran tas to the Russians compromising America's energy independence. I mean,
surely they know better. Is this all being done on purpose?
The Bide administration flows seamlessly between states of ignorance.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Sabotage, and cover up.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
This week, standing in the White House briefing room, imagine
my shock when a member of the Press Corps asked
a legitimate question concerning the security of the nation and
the White House's subsequent brushing off of the subject.

Speaker 7 (05:30):
To listen, given the fact that known adversary, in the
case of China, foreign buyers are buying up US real estate,
some case farms around military installations, this is on the administration's.

Speaker 8 (05:44):
Radar, and what is being done, perhaps to study this,
or to protect the Americans from making sure that homes
remain affordable and so on.

Speaker 9 (05:54):
I think the question of home ownership is a little
bit out out of my swim lane, but.

Speaker 7 (06:01):
Particularly when it comes to around military installations.

Speaker 9 (06:05):
What I will tell you is that the President has
been nothing but clear about our concerns about Chinese unfair
trade practices and economic practices.

Speaker 7 (06:16):
I pray I understand that, but buying up land around
military still.

Speaker 9 (06:23):
I'm probably not the right person to ask about homeownership
here in the United States.

Speaker 7 (06:27):
This is about buying up land around military installations. Is
that a concern to this administration.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
That was so uncomfortable?

Speaker 2 (06:37):
But China buying land around military bases, that's not a
national security concern.

Speaker 1 (06:42):
Next question, Move on, keep going.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
John Kirby, by the way, is Biden's National Security Council member,
And either he's completely inept or he's feigning ignorance concealing
the compromised nature that is the Biden family and the
Chinese Communist government in this case is the foreign agent
in chief. So the Biden White House wants to talk
unity this week. They want to talk foreign influence. They

(07:08):
want to talk and call you a domestic terrorist for
not trusting big government.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
They want you to dish out.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
For electric vehicles while taking fifteen car gas guzzling motorcades
to Air Force one for Quick Johns to Delaware. With
midterms fast approaching, this White House is about to discover
what they want doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
It never mattered.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
The populist patriot does not slumber forever. And that's my
opening for our next segment. You either love him or
you hate him, but he epitomizes that populist patriot who
sometimes goes a little too far Alex Stein when we return.

Speaker 10 (07:56):

Speaker 2 (10:04):
Welcome back to weekly Briefing. We have a special guest
in studio with us this week.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
He's bold, he's brash.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Some say he's a comedian, an activist, a madman.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
You have to decide. You have to look at his work.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
But his hallmark is that he takes confrontational comedy to power,
whether it's weak or strong, and whether it's.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Local or federal.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
So, if you're unfamiliar with Alex Stein Prime Time ninety nine,
here's a sneak peek.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Take a look.

Speaker 13 (10:33):
Aoc my favorite big booty Latina. I love you see
you're my favorite.

Speaker 11 (10:37):
Big money bag.

Speaker 14 (10:39):
Here you're clear. I Patch mckayn.

Speaker 15 (10:42):
Hey, I Patch McKay.

Speaker 11 (10:44):
Look at I Patch mckainn right here.

Speaker 12 (10:46):
Vaccination is so great.

Speaker 13 (10:48):
Vaccinate me all day long. Why are we having a
transphobic world where I just want to compete against the ladies.
Why are you saying that I'm not a biological woman.
I'm excited to get your ring and our own mass
on gym McDonald's.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
It's all about hell.

Speaker 13 (11:03):
Remember your banging fang fang did he give you?

Speaker 15 (11:06):
Guys?

Speaker 13 (11:06):
This is advice?

Speaker 1 (11:07):
This person, she's a loser right here. Alex Stein, you
are great. You are a great example.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Of a person who who embodies the blurring of the
line between either courage or insanity.

Speaker 13 (11:21):
It's insanity. I'm insane for the Ukraine. Wow, Chanetlle.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
It's such an honor to be here.

Speaker 13 (11:25):
And you know, when you see all the confrontation, I
just think when you first came on to you know,
the zeitgeist collective consciousness.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
You were kind of a troll or they kind of
thought you were a troll, is that right?

Speaker 13 (11:35):
You know, all the mainstream media kind of thought you
were a troll because I guess you didn't have the
same viewpoints as in me, You're one of the few
people they didn't.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
But isn't that sad in this day and age?

Speaker 13 (11:43):
Like just calling out the establishment, which is all I do,
is considered controversial because not enough people really call anybody out.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
The difference between being called a troll in the White
House and in my case it wasn't I didn't plan
on doing that.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
In your case, you're very purposeful.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
You stand outside, you wait for hours, you wait for
certain people to show up, and then you get.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
In their faces.

Speaker 16 (12:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (12:04):
I mean, like I said, it's not smart, it's not
even courageous. People are like, oh, you're you know, you're courteous.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
Not I think I'm autistic. But this is the other
thing too.

Speaker 13 (12:13):
It's what I like to do is I like to
blend absurdity with reality, and that, to me is my
favorite combination of comedy.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
So if you can make the absurd scene real, people
are like, oh is that real? Is that fake? Because
what I've noticed.

Speaker 13 (12:24):
Is when I created my podcast, when I started talking
to people, is that I don't necessarily want people to
agree with me chanel. I just want them to question
the reality in which they live in and question, you know,
what is really going on. So I think when you
blend that line of reality and fiction, it makes people
question is this real?

Speaker 12 (12:39):
Did?

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Did?

Speaker 13 (12:39):
Who's the Chinese spy that he's talking about? You know,
it makes people ask the questions. And if you can
get people asking questions, then you then you have a
chance of potentially waking them up and seeing what's really
going on in.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
So you just answered what my next question, which was
your view of yourself in societal discourse, it's easy to
say that either you just catered to the right and
you affirm their viewpoints and you make them laugh and
appreciate their viewpoints, or you genuinely spark conversation, you change minds.

(13:10):
Do you believe that you change minds with this kind
of the kind of stunts that you pull here?

Speaker 13 (13:15):
Well, like I said, I mean, I don't even really
I do a lot of debates, and in the debates,
I don't even try to necessarily convince people because listen,
the left wing and the right wing are on the
same you know bird, and that bird is flying into
a glass window. In my opinion, because you look at
the people that are considered the conservative giving billions of
dollars to the Ukraine, you have the people that are
on the left or even crazier than the conservatives. Obviously
I lean more conservatives, but we need to come together

(13:37):
and be more of a populist led nation. But instead
we're just so divided where it's just everything is A
or B and you know, if you're in the middle,
then you're considered a bigot or a transphobe or racist.
So for me, it's like, am I effective in calling
out the hypocrisy of our politicians?

Speaker 4 (13:52):
I think?

Speaker 1 (13:53):
So, how did you get into all of this?

Speaker 4 (13:55):
I mean, I don't even know. I mean, I guess
I woke up. I was asleep like everybody else.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
I think we're Did you start off, by the way,
with those we saw some of those skits where you
dress up and then you take on a role and
you confront city council.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Did you start off with those?

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Okay?

Speaker 13 (14:08):
Well, so a little bit about my stories at the
beginning of the pandemic, So I'll just give you the
whole long story. So I worked with this show It's
called Cheaters, where we cause people cheating on their husbands
and wives and we go confront them. So I guess
that's where I get my confrontational style from. But my
point being is that the host of that show is
get named Clark Gable and he hied of a fentanhel
drug overdose, who's a good friend of mine, who's very sad.
And they said, oh, Alex, you're gonna be the next

(14:30):
host of the show. Then when it came time, the
show's owned or distributed excuse me, by Viacolum, which is
owned by MTV, they decided to go with an affirmative
actually pick and picked like this fifty two year old
African American, you know, black DJ, cool guy, just different
than me, right, And they said, Alex, you can still
stay and produce for us. I said no, And that's
when I went on my own.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
And so when I started.

Speaker 13 (14:49):
Doing my podcast at the beginning of the pandemic around April,
I started going to these meetings seriously and I would say, well,
you know, why are you closing the bathroom? You know what,
why are you guys you know making it work. At
the public park at Blakmann where I walk every day,
they close the public rushroom and they close.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
The water fountain.

Speaker 13 (15:04):
And this is April and Texas, it's hot and one
of these water founds, you press the button you can
feed your dog.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
I'm like, how does this? How does me get my
dog water?

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Stop the spread and right, And that's where you started
getting viral through the pandemic and you started mocking the lockdowns,
the masks, the mandates.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
Yes, okay, but that's what I'm saying. I know, I
got I got a so's long, windows sore, and I
spoke seriously. They didn't pay attention. And then when I started.

Speaker 13 (15:24):
Getting goofy, and I started saying, Hey, Mary Johnson, you
should do the vaccine. You should do a free vaccine
clinic in the neighborhood and call it maryor Johnson's Free
Johnson and Johnson. The gay community would love the double
on Tandra, And I said, since you're the first open
the gay mayor of Dallas, it'll be even a bigger head. Well,
he's not open the gay he's not gay, he's married
with family. He was pissed, he was so mad, you know.
And that's when I was like, Okay, this is it.
I gotta tease these guys. I gotta just make fun

(15:45):
of them, because that's because these are NPC's non playable
characters in the video game of Life. Like in a
video game, you try to, you know, put your character
up to another guy, you press a button.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
They don't react. That's how these politicians are. They don't
want to come down to our level.

Speaker 13 (15:57):
But once you can embarrass them or mock them, or
you know, draw them off sides, it changes the whole game.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Does it surprise you.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
How easy it is to draw them in, to draw
them in pull them out?

Speaker 1 (16:07):
Or is it harder than it looks?

Speaker 13 (16:09):
Well, see, it's just different structure, different folks, Because I
mean it is it's hard to get through reaction.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
But sometimes it's super easy.

Speaker 13 (16:15):
Like with AOC, I said, you're my favorite big but Latina,
she made ten Instagram videos, she made you know, all
these posts, even did an Instagram survey.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
She went to every single media you know company and
talked about it.

Speaker 13 (16:25):
But you saw with Eric Swalwell when I confronted him,
he just sticks his head down and doesn't say a word.
And for anybody that's watching this, any politicians, that's the
best way to deal with the troll is to ignore them.
So when they do ignore me, I hate that because
that's the best for them.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
But have you learned that is it?

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Is it a thing where in human nature, like everyone
has a button y just to find it.

Speaker 13 (16:46):
Well, of course everything everybody has a butt nerd trigger point.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
And I don't even like I'm not even there. I
am like goating them a little bit.

Speaker 13 (16:53):
But more importantly for me as I try to do
it with a smile on my face. I try to
be affable. And I'm not even really trying to pick
a fighter. Really, I want to catch him off guard.

Speaker 2 (17:02):
You know this trip, you have actually caught a few politicians.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
You are an equal opportunity troller.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
I would say, case in point is your encounter with
Congressman Dan Crenshaw, which I want to play real quick.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
I'm with the one, the only.

Speaker 13 (17:18):
I run into the man, the one, the only, Dan Crenshaw.

Speaker 17 (17:22):
I patch McCain.

Speaker 13 (17:23):
But Dan, why are you retweeting Dave Portnoy saying he
wants me to fail?

Speaker 18 (17:27):
F me?

Speaker 13 (17:27):
Why'd you retweet all that? I'm gonna put in the video,
But why did you retweet all that?

Speaker 12 (17:31):
What do you think of? I know?

Speaker 19 (17:32):
But why don't you like me?

Speaker 20 (17:33):
We're both in Texas.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
I can help you out.

Speaker 13 (17:35):
You're just not America first.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
You're a globalist.

Speaker 13 (17:37):
You're giving more money to you kree year old.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
I didn't touch.

Speaker 9 (17:41):
You're such a liar.

Speaker 13 (17:41):
We have it on tape.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
See this guy's still lying.

Speaker 13 (17:44):
I best McKay's out here still lying. You're so full
of it, dude, that's why you're gonna lose.

Speaker 4 (17:49):
Dude.

Speaker 18 (17:49):
I know, I know, you don't know.

Speaker 13 (17:50):
You don't think that it's gonna happen.

Speaker 12 (17:52):
Guys, this guy's a trader, an adult.

Speaker 19 (17:54):
You're a globalist.

Speaker 13 (17:55):
Yeah, I'm an adult calling you out this.

Speaker 9 (17:57):
You lost your.

Speaker 13 (17:57):
Eye for weapons of mass destruction that didn't exist, and
you don't even call it out weapons of mass destruction
that didn't exist.

Speaker 18 (18:03):
But you know that.

Speaker 13 (18:04):
Let me hear you say something about that.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
Is there ever a moment as you're doing this was
Has there ever been a moment where you look at
yourself and you say to yourself, Alex, you went too far?

Speaker 18 (18:14):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (18:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 13 (18:15):
I mean I honestly, Yeah, every time I look at it,
I cringe because I can't watch myself back. Even when
I do anything, I can't hardly watch myself back. But
it's funny you say, Alex, did you go too far?
Ninety five percent of the time I say, Alex, you
didn't go far enough? But yeah, sometimes I'm like percent, Yeah,
Sometimes I'm like.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
Hey, don't be so aggressive. Don't get his face, you know,
don't you know.

Speaker 13 (18:33):
Sometimes I'm like, okay, you should have done this a
little should have been.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Is there a moment that you actually where you actually
stopped and you you told yourself, oh well.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
I mean know of the conversation.

Speaker 13 (18:42):
I mean Ted Cruise a little bit, you know, because
some stuff I liked that Ted Cruise did. So that
was the one after I did I was like, should
I have given Cruise so much?

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Because what he did is what I was mad.

Speaker 13 (18:50):
Is in Texas we had a huge freeze and you know,
listen to my mom's Her condo got flooded, our garage
got flooded.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
It was a nightmare. And he went to Cancun. But
he shouldn't be allowed to go to kancuon.

Speaker 13 (19:01):
I'm not, but I mean, I'm just like, dude, your
cancuon cruise.

Speaker 4 (19:03):
Everybody in Dallas is freezing, and he.

Speaker 13 (19:05):
Got freaking you know, Senator Cruz is a flying you know,
straight to Cancuon.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
So I just wanted to call him out on that.

Speaker 13 (19:12):
And now you know, he's gotten mad at some Republican
groups for you know, having me come speak and stuff.
So you know, I am I'm kind of burning some bridges,
But at the same time as I'm anti establishment. I
want people to realize that I am a loose cannon
and that I don't care.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
About political ideology.

Speaker 13 (19:28):
All I care about is entertaining people well, trying to
at least make them question the reality in which we
lived in.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
You hounded Crenshaw even after this, and you accused him
of being a globalist, of being someone who cares more
about Ukraine instead of our southern border. But when I
listened to that video, I thought, oh, my gosh, you
just you just in that moment where you said he
lost his eye to fake weapons of mouse destruction.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
To me, I thought, my gosh, there, Alex Goes.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
He crossed that line, and he just accused all members of.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Of you know, fighting a useless war.

Speaker 13 (20:03):
Well, of course, and then that's to say, people say, oh,
you know, you know, do do people take offense to
what you do?

Speaker 12 (20:10):
Well?

Speaker 13 (20:10):
Yes, some of it's meant to be offensive, yeah, And
honestly that is and for you know, I'm sure that
feels terrible, but I do have a lot of empathy
for you know, the millions of iraqis that we killed
that that Barack Obama, he did a drone strike I
believe every twenty minutes for eight years. If they gave him,
you know, the you know what is it the Nobel
peace price. So for me, the idea that we have

(20:30):
people that are literally shooting people in the desert over
weapons of mass destruction or over you know, access to
fossil fuels, it makes me sick to say when we
were doing when we were trying to get all the
people out of Afghanistan, we killed four children. They didn't
even say they didn't even care about Joe, but they
han't been, oh, well, we had some intel and we

(20:51):
killed some children.

Speaker 19 (20:52):
Not one little kid should have to die anywhere on
this earth because of American exceptionalism or whatever you're I'm
going to say that whatever reason that they used to
kill children, which they actually do, and I believe is
one of the people that struck out that one thing
stuck out the most of me is they talked to
a person that used to do drone strikes and he.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
Said that if they saw three people that they're supposed
to kill, they.

Speaker 13 (21:14):
Would tell him the general or as you know, whoever,
sergeant whoevers above and said, hey, kill two of them,
so the third one sees them get killed and go
tell other people.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
So that's where we're at.

Speaker 13 (21:23):
We fought a war in the Middle East that was unnecessary,
and they scared every single human, including my dad, my father,
all of my friends, to make us afraid of terrorism,
when in reality, all that was done was to set
the groundwork for the idea of the domestic terrorists, which
is what they're doing now.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Your war with.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports has been widely followed, widely discussed,
and without going in too much into the details of it, basically,
Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports invited you to be a guest,
then disinvited you. You found out that he disinvited you
because he felt that you were one of.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Those people who made everything political.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Your take on his accusation, is there anything in the
world right now that hasn't been politicized And do you
think he has a point? Is there a space for
taking politics out out of the discussion?

Speaker 13 (22:17):
Yeah, he is a great I mean, yeah, I wish
everything was free, and I wish you know, there's a
lot of you know, we just had we could eat
candy canes for every meal. But the thing is everything
has been politicized. You can't not have a political viewpoint.
And that's what makes me different, I think than other
people that I try to, you know, you know, find
myself in the middle. And I think Dave would say
that he finds himself in the middle. But for me,

(22:37):
when you talk about all the people that lost their jobs,
you talk about the way the government handled the pandemic,
it's impossible to.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
Be a political anymore. That's just how it is.

Speaker 13 (22:45):
You almost have to have some sort of opinion on
what is going on to just because now the government
is overreaching so strongly. So for David Portner or Dave Portner,
who has a much bigger audience than me, I would
think that him championing, you know, he acts like he's
a conservative and then got so mad when rovers Wade
got overturned.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
For me, that was just made me sick to.

Speaker 13 (23:05):
My stomach because the idea that more children could be born,
that's a great thing.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
But if you're going to use.

Speaker 13 (23:10):
Your power to say that you want more kids killed,
that's where I lost respect for David. And that's for Dave,
and that's where he can say, oh, I don't want
it to be political. There's no more political a keystone
thing than Roversus Wade.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
So he's a hypocrite.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Your proudest moment as a prankster, comedian, activist.

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Everyone has their trophies, what are yours?

Speaker 13 (23:30):
I mean, honestly, I have to say meeting my biological father,
Tucker Carlson. So if you're watching this, Dad, please return
my text messages.

Speaker 4 (23:37):
But yes, they kept for the connection with my biological dad.

Speaker 13 (23:40):
He got my mother pregnant at University of Arkansas when
he worked at the Arkansas Post Gazette in nineteen eighty nine,
even though I was born in eighty six. Don't worry
about all that. But that's when he was there, and
that's when my.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Mom willing to provide a sample I am.

Speaker 13 (23:53):
I actually been trying to get him to go on Maury,
but my dad won't go. So Tucker, if you're seeing this,
please answer Mary's producers emails. They'll give the fives a
free trip out to Greenwich, Connecticut.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Come on, Dad, Alex Stein, Primetime ninety nine.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
Thank you, it's such a pleasure to finally meet you out.

Speaker 13 (24:12):
She's not just beautiful on screen, She's beautiful in person.

Speaker 2 (24:17):

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 because forty five is a really lucky number. So

(26:04):
join us at free Talk forty five and express yourself
with no fear of cancelation.

Speaker 11 (26:10):
Ever, if your cable provider doesn't offer one American news network,
please call them up and kindly demand that they carry
O and N. 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

(26:31):
today and kindly demand that they add OYNN to their
channel lineup.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Welcome back to weekly briefing. Let's dive in the Purge
of Trump allies continues. My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Says the FBI swarmed him and seized his cell phone
Tuesday evening while he was at a Hearty's Restaurant drive
through in Minnesota. Lindell was returning from a hunting trip
and broke on the news on Instagram live the FBI.

Speaker 17 (27:11):
You're going to hear this, and you're probably already hearing
in the news. The FBI came after me and took
my phone. They surrounded me at a heart ease and
took my phone and I run all my business everything
with they could have just what we've done is weaponize
the FBI is disgusting. I don't have a computer. Everything

(27:32):
I do at that phone. Everything was on there, and
and they told me not to tell anybody who's in
order not to don't tell anybody, Okay, I will.

Speaker 12 (27:45):
All right.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
So, as General Counsel for Personnel Policy Operations under the
Trump administration, we have Andrew Closter to weigh in. Isn't
it unusual to seize an entire cell phone? Shouldn't they
have just requested certain items on the phone rather than
using the device itself.

Speaker 16 (28:01):
Yeah, you know, I've talked with former FBI folks and
one of the interesting there's so much going on here.

Speaker 4 (28:06):
It's a circus.

Speaker 16 (28:07):
You know, no FBI for immigration, but we'll get the
MyPillow guy. Great, But you know, typical practices, when you
know someone's got an attorney, you know you would typically
go to the attorney. But they're springing this on people.
You've got people out in the street and they're underwear.
They're going after everybody. It really does look like a
wide dragnet, a fishing expedition to get these phones of

(28:28):
anybody within a thousand yards of Trump, not because they
have anything specific, but because they're just trying to fish
or find some inconsistency or some dirt or something. So
it's I think it's frankly ridiculous. The entire Jasiks Commission
is something that should be taking a look at in
the new Congress. If things go the way we think

(28:48):
that they're going to go. They're really trying to, i think,
criminalize dissent and also scare people from investigating or protecting
our elections.

Speaker 2 (28:59):
Just now, the net by which the FBI has framed
their seizure of this cell phone is that the FBI
agents served him a warrant related to Lindell's ties to
Tina Peters. This is a Colorado County clerk in Mesa County.
Peters is currently under indictment on state charges related to

(29:20):
a scheme to download data from election equipment after the
twenty twenty presidential contest. So when you listen to that,
that sounds like a legitimate request, but tell us how
it's not.

Speaker 16 (29:31):
Yeah, So you know, this is a state investigation, and
I think one thing we'll find out in the years
to come is the amount of coordination between the FEDS
and the states to kind of help allow people to
operate in darkness. The win I think in young youngkins
win in Virginia is largely, I think attributable to having
a lot of eyes on the ground. They don't want

(29:51):
eyes on the ground. They want to scare people who
are investigating. They want to scare clerks, many of whom
have been in these jobs for you know, dozens of years.
Clerks are the author officials to access election data. They
have the right to understate law. And you know it's
different in different states, but they have the right to
look at this stuff, all right.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
So we asked the lawyer on the panel.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Let's ask the judge on the panel, Judge Judge mat O'Brien,
director of investigations at Immigration Reform Lonstitute, thank you for
joining us. Your take on what is happening here? It
is the seizure of a cell phone overly broad here.

Speaker 20 (30:25):
Well, my question is where's the judiciary in this, and
who are the judges and magistrates who are looking at
these applications, And why is it that a judge who
has a guaranteed appointment for eight years like a magistrate,
or a lifetime appointment like a federal judge, doesn't feel
they're in a position to go No, this is a
bridge too far. I'm sorry, I'm not seeing the connection here.

(30:47):
I mean, that's what you do is a judge. When
I was on the bench, my job was to read
the law and apply it and I had discretion in
doing that.

Speaker 12 (30:54):
And what seems to.

Speaker 20 (30:55):
Be going on here is that the current administration is
seeking out people who on the bench, who they know
have established political affiliations and a record of ruling as
activists from the bench in order to accomplish policy objectives.
And so the really scary part of this is that
the filter between the people and the government, which in

(31:16):
this case is supposed to be the judiciary branch, is failing.

Speaker 12 (31:18):
It's not working at all.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
So they're fishing for jurisdictions in order to execute their
fishing expeditions.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Yeahs worse.

Speaker 16 (31:24):
It's worse because we're also seeing them outsourcing it to
these left wing groups or certain hack attorneys that will
you know, they don't have the full staffing to go
after this. They still have crimes that they maybe they're
not prosecuting the crimes, but they've still got crimes they're
supposed to be prosecuting. So these people will write up
an entire subpoena or whatever and pass it off, you know,
to law enforcement. We're seeing a lot of outsourcing Wisconsin, Georgia, elsewhere,

(31:46):
and it seems to be a.

Speaker 20 (31:46):
Situation where if there's a hint that something that's referenced
in the statute might have occurred, the warrants are issuing
when the standard is is their probable cause to believe
that a crime has been committed and doesn't appear to
be being observed.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
It certainly seems like a pattern.

Speaker 12 (32:03):
Yes day.

Speaker 16 (32:04):
It's not a crime for clerk to look at election data.

Speaker 12 (32:07):
It's their job.

Speaker 16 (32:08):
So criminalizing that is just trying to chill Chenney disgression security.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Right, That's that's probably the biggest crime of all. Right now,
Inflation stays red. Hot Headline CPI rows point one percent
month over month in August, marking an eight point three
percent increase in August. That very same day, the White
House launched a celebration of the signing of the inconveniently
named Inflation Reduction Act.

Speaker 15 (32:36):
Exactly four weeks ago today, I signed the Inflation Reduction
Act in the law a single most important legislation passed
in the Congress to combat inflation, and one of the
most significant laws in our nation's history.

Speaker 17 (32:49):
In my view.

Speaker 15 (32:50):
I said it then, and I'll keep saying it. With
this law, the American people one and special interest lost.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
All right, the let's take this discussion over to Greg.
We're sure, as vice president of Government Affairs at West
Wind Elements, you are very familiar with optics, with messaging,
with lobbying efforts. Your take on that very untimely speech, right.

Speaker 18 (33:15):
So to put it, to put it bluntly, that was
quite on the nose. That obviously inflation is soaring through
the roof, and to have this act be called Inflation
Reduction Act is not accurate, to say the least. And
to also look at the stock market drop that curd
right afterwards.

Speaker 2 (33:30):
You can see during during the speech job he was talking, yes.

Speaker 18 (33:33):
So we see that happening in real time. But again
they call it the inflation Reduction Act. But from a
business perspective, where we really see the impact of inflation
is a difficulty for trying to line up our supply chain,
trying to find the lowest costs suppliers and trusted suppliers.
We want to be able to go to American companies,
source from American companies, but when you have these soaring prices,

(33:54):
it makes it very difficult for companies to have that
be a prime focus when they're trying to keep the
people on their with their company hired, when you're dealing
with all these various costs, and it really complicates a
supply chain. So that's where I see it from a
business perspective.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
Is and he barely mentioned supply chain issues in talking
which has been a significant driver of the inflation that
we're seeing today. Government spending and supply chain disruptions, we
barely heard anything about that in.

Speaker 18 (34:19):
This speech, right, So you're really seeing now coming to
the foe. The consequence is a reckless, mountrary and fiscal
policy and businesses we want predictable, stable environments to work with.
We are not receiving that right now in the United States.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
Real wages are down too.

Speaker 16 (34:32):
I mean we're saying wages are down, and I see
my left wing friends like how they're trying to spend this.
They're like, well, actually, if you look at the second
order derivative, the rate of inflation increases down, so the
curve is good. It's like, I don't care what the
curve is. People care what the prices are, and prices
are still going up.

Speaker 20 (34:47):
It's hilarious that the said special interest lost too, because
it seems like every piece of legislation that Democrats pass
is they've targeted at special interests, their particular special interests
and funding them. And I'm not sure how spending on
democrats special interest gets us out of a recession.

Speaker 18 (35:03):
And where we really also see this beginning to her
is working class because while gas prices may be down,
energy costs for natural gas for heating homes is up.

Speaker 12 (35:12):
Foot prices are also up.

Speaker 18 (35:13):
So that's where we really see this hurting is it's
not the wealthy elite that are going to be feeling
this despite it will be the working class.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
No. No, it's funny they were saying that, you know,
wages are up, gases down, but everything else was you know,
eggs are up forty percent.

Speaker 16 (35:27):
Gas always goes down at the last summer. At the
end of the summer, gas always goes down. So I
don't know how they're claiming credit for that. It's not
like they're permitting more refineries. It's not like they're stopping
the attacks on oil and gas.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
Well, here's something they won't take credit for. A report
shows the Border Patrol chief say under oath that an
internal US Customs and Border Protection guidance memo from May
was unprecedented. That memo instructed border agents to release illegal
immigrants into the US in anticipation of Title forty two ending.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
So judge, what do you make of that?

Speaker 12 (36:00):
It's absolutely mind bloggling.

Speaker 20 (36:02):
President Trump, when he was running for office, said if
you don't have a border, you don't have a country.
This is the first step to not having a border.
And what's really galling about it is Title forty two
was convenient because of the pandemic. It was properly invoked,
and it provided a quick and easy basis for getting
people who are unlawfully here encountered at the border out
of the country.

Speaker 12 (36:22):
But the fact is that you don't need that.

Speaker 20 (36:24):
Section eleven eighty two f of the Immigration and Nationality
Act gives the president authority to set all kinds of
restrictions in cases of emergency on who can enter the
US and how long they can stay. And that was
recently affirm to clarified in Trump v. Hawaii by the
Supreme Courts. So this is just evidence that the Biden
administration doesn't want the country.

Speaker 12 (36:45):
To have a border.

Speaker 20 (36:46):
They do want large numbers of people coming here from abroad.
There's no other explanation for why you would give this
kind of instruction to the border patrol.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Case in point is your own personal story. You were
an immigration judge under Trump. You were one of the
more effective ones on paper, and the Biden administration decided
that they did not want you on the bench anymore. Yeah,
this is right, right when the backlog was piling up
its peak exactly.

Speaker 20 (37:10):
I mean, when you have this many people over the
border and the number of cases growing, why would you
want to get rid of any immigration judges, but particularly
the effective ones. And clearly it's because the Biden administration
does not like the immigration law.

Speaker 12 (37:22):
As it exists. But the fact is, if that's the case,
we have a process for that.

Speaker 20 (37:25):
A constitutional republic changed the law. You can't simply ignore
it because you don't like it.

Speaker 12 (37:31):
And this is a.

Speaker 20 (37:31):
Slippery slope because you know, as we've seen talking about
Michael and Dell and the FBI, it starts with immigration,
it ends with the Bill of Rights and criminal law.
And so this is I think the implications for this
are much more dire than most people realize.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
When we return, one mineral could hold the key to
national security, what that is and more.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 10 (38:04):

Speaker 10 (39:08):
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.

Speaker 12 (39:29):
Really lucky number.

Speaker 10 (39:30):
So join us at free Talk forty five and express
yourself with no fear of cancelation.

Speaker 11 (39:37):

(39:58):
today and kindly demand and that they add O and

Speaker 2 (40:12):
Cobalt is a chemical element which is used in many
different advanced technologies. A new bill which could be introduced
very soon, we'll look to ramp up domestic cobalt refining
and have the Department of Defense acquire it through a
purchase program.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
Greg, this is your area. Why is cobalt so important?

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Is it in the grand scheme of things important to
our national security?

Speaker 12 (40:36):
Why?

Speaker 18 (40:37):
Yes, So, while you may not have heard of cobalt
very much, it is important for three main reasons. One
is corrosion resistant, two it is heat tolerant, and it's
also magnetic. So cobalt is considered a performance enhancing element,
meaning it's found in small quantities across a whole host
of different technologies, most notably super alloys and jet engines,
but also permanent magnets in the F thirty five fighter jet,

(40:57):
for example. The issue is that currently the United States
is one hundred percent reliant on both secondary scrap materials
and imports for its cobalt consumption kub weight.

Speaker 2 (41:07):
So to be clear, this is a material that is used,
as you say, in scarce amounts, but in very imperative
amounts in fighter jets and electric vehicles and things like that.

Speaker 18 (41:15):
Yes, yes, it's absolutely critical not only for the defense
industrial base, but also for key, key emerging technologies, also
for semiconductors as well. And the issue is that China
controls seventy two percent of production of for refined cobalt,
the material that's actually sent to these end use manufacturers
to make these advanced technologies.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
And currently the United States produces zero.

Speaker 18 (41:34):
There is zero refineries in the United States, and yet.

Speaker 1 (41:37):
Our need for cobalt has.

Speaker 18 (41:38):
Risen, yes, yes, and has projected the rise. For example,
the International Energy Agency projects that by twenty forty, cobalt
demand to be six to thirty times higher in twenty
forty than they are today.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
That is stunning.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Now, there is a metric that absolutely leaped out to
me when I saw it from We've got approximately thirteen
thousand tons of cobalt to the United States state during
the Cold War. It was in our national defenseile. We
now only have three hundred and thirty three tons. China,
on the other hand, has seventy seven hundred tons in
its stockpile. We are three hundred to seven thousand right

(42:10):
now out numbered.

Speaker 12 (42:11):
Yes.

Speaker 18 (42:11):
So why that is important is that what this bill
actually would do is one the purchase program would go
to helping to plus up the national defense stockpiles cobalt reserves.
What also would do is to provide an incentive for
cobalt refineries to sell to the US government. That's actually
a plan that was used during the Cold War for
atomic products was that the government would be a guaranteed
supplier for domestic producers. What helped scale up the capacity

(42:34):
for those companies in.

Speaker 12 (42:35):
The United States.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
All right, so you've been lobbying for this cause for
some time now, You've been trying to get a refinery
built at Oklahoma, as I understand, what has been the
biggest obstacle in laying all of this out to lawmakers
and presenting this right.

Speaker 18 (42:50):
So, this is actually very exciting because previously I've worked
for two Republican members of Congress, so.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
You're familiar with what it is to maneuver through the
halls of comstry.

Speaker 18 (42:59):
Yes, absolutely, So what makes us exciting is that there's
actually support on both the Democrat and Republican side. So really,
the Republicans see this through the angle of the national
security of how China's really dominated the supply chains. Where
the Democrats see it is that cobolt is necessary for
their green energy dreams. So whether it's electric vehicles, battery stories,
for wind turbines, they see this as cobol as being
necessary and they preferred to have it be through a

(43:19):
domestic company like ourselves versus dealing with China, dealing with
other external actors that are not very nice towards the
United States to say the least.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
Wow, we found it the camera.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
The one thing that both sides can come together on.
It's not on children, it's not about our southern border.

Speaker 4 (43:35):
It's about Cobalt.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
Thank you for that.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham introduced a bill which would
federalize a fifteen week abortion ban. Graham's decision to introduce
this bill less than two months before a pivotal midterm
election season has many wondering if this could mobilize the
Democrat base.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Many GOP lawmakers.

Speaker 2 (43:55):
Have argued the issue should simply.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
Be decided at the state level in the past.

Speaker 2 (44:01):
Andrew your take on Lindsay Graham's timing.

Speaker 4 (44:04):
Here, Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 16 (44:06):
Lindsay has never struck me as a social conservative, but
he is certainly His base back home has often been snookered.
I think he's a swamp creature. I'm not sure what
he's doing here. Post Dobbs and Dobbs was the Supreme
Court decision overturning Row. We've kind of seen a split
in the pro life movement, and you can kind of
see who your friends and your enemies are. We've actually

(44:26):
seen some pro life group's lobby against heartbeat bills.

Speaker 12 (44:29):
It's kind of bizarre to me.

Speaker 16 (44:30):
So when Graham does this, you have to wonder what
his game is. I'm not sure he wants to win
in November. I think it's giving a live issue to
the Democrats. I'm extremely pro life, It's like my number
one issue. But you know, we can afford to wait
a little bit. And I'm just not sure that that
Senate leadership. We've seen McConnell come out saying we're not
going to win, we've seen Graham do this. I think

(44:51):
that they're very worried about the America First candidates on
the Senate side, and they may be trying to help
scuttle that. You know, he may also be trying to
play to his base to gin up some donation. But
I don't trust the man as far as I can.

Speaker 2 (45:02):
You might be on something there, because it's not like
he has a pressing election back home, so this could
well be a self sabotaging move for the GOP.

Speaker 16 (45:11):
Yeah, I don't trust them as far as I can.

Speaker 20 (45:13):
I do this now, especially, I mean, we've got the
border laying in ruins and millions of people coursing over.
It seems to me that all this does is tend
to motivate the Democrat base because this is an issue
that they care so much about.

Speaker 12 (45:26):
This seems more likely to motivate.

Speaker 20 (45:28):
Democrats to come to the pulls and vote against this
type of agenda than it does to inspire Republicans.

Speaker 2 (45:33):
And again, most Republicans support a state led initiative here
for states to decide, for people to vote with their
feet and decide on their own.

Speaker 16 (45:41):
Yeah. West Virginia just passed a very big ban. I mean,
deep red areas are in the driver's seat here and
they're going to go hard. And then if there are
electoral majorities of Republicans, I mean, why not raise the
issue again? But right now, right before the election. As
someone who's extremely pro life, I just find this. I
look at it sideways. Don't think it's appropriate.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Interesting.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
Illinois will be the first day to roll out a
no cash bail program starting January twenty twenty three, sparking
people to compare the law to a horror movie called
The Purge. The State's Safety Act abolishes cash bail for
second degree murder, kidnapping, armed robbery, drug induced homicide, and more. Judge,

(46:24):
so what's going on here and will this make our
community safer?

Speaker 20 (46:27):
It's not going to make anyone safer. It's going to
make things much more dangerous. Bail is simple. It's a
guarantee that you're going to show up for trial. And
the fact is that the people who have the most
fear from the criminal justice system are the ones who are.

Speaker 12 (46:40):
Least likely to show up for trial.

Speaker 20 (46:43):
The other part of bail is that there are certain
circumstances when a judge can decide that it's not merited
and that the person who's seeking bail either presents so
much of a danger to the community or presents such
a flight risk that they can be detained pending trial.
But side kidnappers, listen, this goes back to the Middle

(47:03):
Ages in Britain.

Speaker 12 (47:04):
This makes absolutely no sense. It's a fool zerrand.

Speaker 20 (47:08):
To think that you can eliminate cash bail and have
these people show up, and all this does is put
people that should not be back in the community, who
are dangerous predators back on the streets.

Speaker 12 (47:18):
It is indeed, like.

Speaker 16 (47:18):
The purge just left Illinois. They just moved out of
Cook County. Which is Chicago. They just moved out. Crime
is definitely one of the things on their mind. We're
seeing thousands upon thousands of people leave these deep blue
states with these Soros prosecutors and that are having policies
like this, So it's going to continue.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
What is the possible just step into their shoes.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
Surely they have a reasonable argument, some kind of argument
for why this is somehow a good idea.

Speaker 12 (47:46):
Well, it's flipping the script.

Speaker 20 (47:48):
And what it does is instead of putting the emphasis
on victims and using the criminal justice system for what
it was designed to be, which is creating a stable society,
giving a safe method for retribution and punishment against criminals,
it makes the interests of the criminal defendant primary. Now,
the interests of the criminal defendant are important here in

(48:10):
the US, but they're not the sole interest. There's a
balance between the interests of the community and the interests
of the victims and the interests of the criminal defendant.

Speaker 12 (48:19):
This completely stands the system on its head and makes
it all about the criminal defendant.

Speaker 18 (48:24):
And it's the same thing too that we've seen with
inflation as well, is that the people that are advancing
fiscal monetary policies that lead to inflation. It's the same
thing that happens with these criminal acts is the people
that are actually experiencing the effects of criminality are not
going to be those that are at the Hamptons. So
they can simply flee to the Hamptons, they can flee
to Martha's Vineyard. But the real America has actually faced

(48:44):
a consequence of this. They feel it hard, and they're
feeling it now.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
That's a great point, yet another example of the leftist agenda,
harming the middle class, harming the lower classes, harming more
people than themselves. Andrew Closter, Greg Wisher, matter Bran, thank

Speaker 2 (51:56):
It is now time for our Top three Lives from
the White House this week.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
Let's take a look.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Big line Number one, Democrats have secured the border.

Speaker 5 (52:05):
Which largely just tried to build a wall, an ineffective
wall along the border, and couldn't even finish that in
four years. We're certainly doing a lot more to secure
the border, and could be doing even more if Republicans
would stop their obstruction.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
There are misbeaks, there are hyperboles, there are lies.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
Then there's this Joe.

Speaker 2 (52:27):
Biden has willingly released one point three million illegal immigrants
into the US. Couple that with approximately one million so
called gotaways, illegal immigrants who have slipped past border patrol,
and you're looking at two point three million illegal immigrants
who have settled into the US. With Joe Biden asleep
at the wheel, you're.

Speaker 4 (52:47):
Confident this border secure. We have.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
A secure border.

Speaker 4 (52:56):
This idea is a bunch of.

Speaker 1 (52:57):
Milwaukee comas on her cocktail pillars.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
Again, instead of listening to Kamala lecture you from her
comfy chair in Washington, take it from the people on
ground zero. Twenty two counties and Texas have declared an
invasion at the southern border. Think about what that says
about our border.

Speaker 12 (53:16):
Think about what you'd think about.

Speaker 2 (53:18):
Most Americans are thinking about their safety in their pocketbooks,
both of which have taken hits. With illegal immigration spiking
every day. The Federation for American Immigration Reform released a
new cost analysis showing every illegal immigrant cost the American
taxpayer over ninety two hundred dollars per year. For the

(53:39):
illegal immigrants who've come into the country under Jurassic Joe,
the American taxpayers will be paying an additional twenty billion
dollars annually.

Speaker 15 (53:49):
No one making under four hundred thousand dollars, We'll see.

Speaker 12 (53:54):
Their federal taxes go up. Period.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
Well, at least American lives are being jeopardized. Right A
family is against fentanyl. Analysis of the CDC data released
in December of last year shows fentanyl was the number
one cause of death for Americans between the age of
eighteen and forty five. There are about one hundred and
fifty overdose deaths per day in the US.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
Put simply, the Biden White House can say it secured
the border.

Speaker 2 (54:21):
In reality, it's simply not true.

Speaker 1 (54:28):
Big line number two.

Speaker 2 (54:30):
Biden has sparked an economic resurgence.

Speaker 15 (54:33):
We're working to deliver an economy that finally works for
working families. We started with the American Rescue Plan has
taken us from economic crisis. Economic resurgons. Jobs are up,
incomes her up, people are back to work.

Speaker 2 (54:46):
Jurassic Joe might need reading glasses or perhaps a trip
back to the third grade, because I'm not sure if
he knows what the definition of resurgence is. Merriam Webster
defines it as the act of bringing something back to life.
We're in month twenty one of Joe Biden's presidency.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
Is this what a resurgency looks like?

Speaker 4 (55:07):
The answer is not.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
The latest Consumer Price Index reaffirms that as well. Contrary
to public expectation, inflation rose again in the month of August,
coming in at eight point three percent. The food inducts
jumped over eleven percent in the last year, the biggest
twelve month increased since May nineteen seventy nine. Shelter and

(55:29):
rent tell a similar story. Shelter rose over six percent,
while rent inflation climbed to nearly seven percent, the highest
number since the early eighties. That's an applause line, truly
a remarkable accomplishment. In less than two months, Joe Biden's
soaked the American economy with inflationary gasoline and lit the

(55:50):
proverbial match.

Speaker 1 (55:51):
Then held a public celebration.

Speaker 14 (55:54):
Listening there to President Biden at the White House, he's
celebrating the passage of the Inflation and Reduction Act. Says
that he's been fighting big Pharma for decades.

Speaker 12 (56:03):
But there is this unfortunate.

Speaker 14 (56:04):
Slit screen right now with the dowt taking a total
beating down more than twelve hundred points.

Speaker 2 (56:11):
Not even CNN can carry his water anymore. Joe can
shout all he likes about sparking an economic resurgence. In reality,
it's that's simply not true. Big line number three, Biden's
actions are grounded in climate change.

Speaker 22 (56:31):
President Biden and I are clear all our work to
address the climate crisis must be grounded in environmental justice
and inequity.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
And to that point, actions should speak louder than words.
Am I right?

Speaker 18 (56:46):
Well?

Speaker 1 (56:47):
What did Joe Biden do this week? Tuesday?

Speaker 2 (56:49):
In a surprise announcement, Biden left Washington, DC to fly
to Delaware on Air Force one, using a gas guzzling escort.
He voted in the Tuesday primary election. Afterwards, he returned
home outside of Biden, abandoning the Democrat system of voting
by mail.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
Early voting was available to Biden when.

Speaker 23 (57:10):
He was home last Saturday, but no, he had to
make a special surprise trip that cost the American taxpayer
hundreds of thousands of dollars just to go to Delaware
and come back.

Speaker 2 (57:23):
Was it really for a non essential single vote? Was
Biden meeting someone off the record at his house?

Speaker 1 (57:30):
I digress.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
Biden's little spur of the moment escapade left an unnecessary
carbon footprint on the environment.

Speaker 15 (57:36):
Wouldn't you say, Look, everybody's entitled be an idiot.

Speaker 2 (57:41):
Outside of Biden's clear hypocrisy in his actions, what has
he actually done to back up his tough talk from a.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
Juiced up Kamla.

Speaker 2 (57:49):
Well, the Inflation Reduction Act would provide money to entities
to quote identify, monitor, or assess gaps in tree canopy
coverage located in dis advantaged or underserved communities.

Speaker 1 (58:02):
How much money is going.

Speaker 2 (58:04):
Towards that, well, close to two billion dollars in taxpayer funding.

Speaker 1 (58:09):
How about regional greenways?

Speaker 2 (58:11):
The IRA bill would let the Administrator of the Federal
Highway Administration give out grants for the construction of projects
to enhance the quote walkability of regional greenways. A regional
greenway is a plot of undeveloped land reserved for environmental preservation.
What a great use of money to fight environmental justice

(58:31):
and equity. I'm sure underprivileged communities across America are so grateful.

Speaker 4 (58:37):
Give me a break.

Speaker 17 (58:38):
That's a bunch of Milwaukee.

Speaker 2 (58:41):
