Speaker 1 (00:14):
The faceless, tell no tales, children are never believed, and
the devil out of the shadows plays in broad daylight. Hello,
and welcome to weekly briefing. I'm your host, Chanelle Rhon.
Last week, the Balenciaga scandal exposed the fashion world for
the degeneracy it has become. Pedophiles, cannibalism, child sex abuse,
(00:34):
the stuff of so called conspiracy theories. They want you
to think it's old news by now.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Don't let them.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
The scandal was so undeniable, an apology was offered and
the story has been buried. They want you to think
this was a one off mistake. You'll forgive and forget.
Let's take a closer look, shall we. The hideous luxury
fashion house Balenciaga ran a campaign mixing sad eyed young
children with alcohol and stuffed bears and bondage leathers. Elon
(01:03):
Musk's newly liberated Twitter verse was outraged. Valenciaga removed the campaign,
swiped its posts, and apologized. But having apologized and removed
the posts, Balenciaga gets caught once again in its twenty
twenty three spring line, a document beneath an Adidas Balenciaga
purse it's a Supreme Court case on the question of
whether child pornography was protected under the First Amendment. It's not,
(01:28):
according to Balenciaga's mia culpa. However, you'd think that this
was all just a grievous mistake. The inclusion of these
unapproved documents was the result of reckless negligence, for which
Balenciaga has filed a complaint. They wrote they take responsibility
not for the items in the photoshoot, but for not
having caught it. The fifty million dollar fashion house has
(01:50):
since announced it as suing the production firm North six
for twenty five million dollars for placing these props. The
picture of apologetic and innocent regret. Here's Balenciaga's spring line
earlier this year, Bruce faced models marching in mud, dirty
teddy bears, oversized tracksuits, making the models look like homeless
(02:10):
children wearing adult hand me downs. Valenci yaka. But it
all makes sense when you find out who's behind.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It spoiler alert.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
The lawsuit Balenciaga filed against the production company is absolute blogone.
Here's Balenciaga's head designer Demna, who's been quoted as saying
of himself and the other two designers he works with
at Balenciaga his best friends.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Someone wrote that Lata, Gsha and I grew up on
child pornography and radiation from Chernobyl, which is why.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
We're so eft up. They're all Russian.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
By the way, Demna's friend Gosha has been accused of
soliciting sexual images from a sixteen year old boy and
a sleuthing Samaritan on Twitter, dug through Demena's other Balenciaga designer,
Lata's Instagram, and needless to say, Lata's disturbing fascination with
young young boys, cannibalism, bathhouses, teddy bears, and juvenile detention
(03:05):
centers in her motherland, Russia is perplexing. Lata's heavy hand
on Balenciaga is clear. She's no North six production company staffer.
She's the vision behind these ads. Demna says so himself,
such ads as that spring campaign.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I mentioned earlier.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Behind the model a stack of art books purposely placed.
One of the art books is of Michael Borman's. He
specializes in the art of mutilated children and cannibalistic dancing art.
Here they are faceless children, faceless adults, cannibals, bloodstained naked babies.
This isn't creepy. A clear obsession with children, with the
(03:42):
innocent and the helpless.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Art right. The book underneath, Oh This.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Lovely Thing, a nine hour film on a satanic nightmare.
The hippocritical left has been virtually silent on all of this.
They wanted to die as quickly as possible. The same people,
the same corporation's, the same banks and celebrities who boycotted
companies for voting Trump were nowhere to be found on
the scandal. Kim Kardashian issued I want to work it
(04:09):
out with Balenciaga's statement. This from a woman whose own
mother is accused of handpicking just the right sex tape
of her daughter in order to launch her career.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
The devil plays in.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
The open when he manages to convince society child sex
abuse and pedophilia are way less offensive than supporting Trump
or standing for unborn babies.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
But none of this is new. Remember here's a clothing line.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Beloved by Holly Weird's top celebrities, founded by two Israeli
designers whose life mission it is to erase gender boundaries
in children. Here's a look at some of their imagery
for kids. Tard bears, kids behind bars, voodoo dolls, baby
devil horns, occult symbology, creepy peedo, friendly swimsuits, random hands,
(04:59):
faceless girl, satanic ram's head, perfect, perfect stuff for children.
Notice how they like to use faithlessness and children. Balenciaga
with its bondage, faceless models, Nununu with faceless children.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
It's a pattern.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
The faceless can be used and abused without a face,
without identity, they cannot snitch on the crimes committed against them.
No one believes a no One New New News was
such a compelling agenda, and enchanted Celine Dion so much
she partnered with them and ran this ad in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Our children there are not really our children, as we
are all just links in a never ending chain that
is life.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Selene then walks into a delivery room with boys and girls. Here,
these poor gendered babies are liberated by Selene's black witch powder.
They become gender free. No coincidence.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
The most iconic.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Deity of occultists is Befomet, who contains all these binary
opposites above and below, part animal, part human, male and female.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
The occult's deity is genderless.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Its identity cannot be contained into socially designed constructs. As such,
this non binary genderism represents the balance to achieve their
perfect social order New Order.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Children are the targets. But worry not, Snopes is on
the case.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Ask them whether what you're seeing is demonic and they'll
tell you no, you're just seeing things because quote Selene
new News website offers a description of their vision of
its esthetic and makes no mention of the occult case closed.
What a relief, Thanks Snopes. This has been happening for years.
(06:55):
Balenciaga simply opened the door. Balenciaga head designer Demnah and
his kiddy porn creepizoids have been visually confessing to us
their perversions for years, perversions they've imposed upon the faceless,
the voiceless, the children. This was a confession, and it's
(07:16):
only the tip of the iceberg. If you found this
Balenciaga snapshot disturbing, wait till you find out how our
government has been using your tax dollars to bankroll child
trafficking right here at home Project Veritas's shocking findings when
we return.

your cable provider will not know that there's strong demand
for one American news network. Please call your cable company
(09:37):
today and kindly demand that they add OYNN to their
channel lineup.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Fresh off Twitter Reinstatements, Project Veritas unveiled a new investigation
this week featuring a whistleblower working inside the Council of
the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency. This whistleblower volunteered
to help the Department of Health and Human Services help
them process unaccompanied immigrant children. She was deployed to Pomona, California.
(10:14):
She was shocked by what she found and came forward.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Listen the tax dollars of people who are listening are
paying to put children in the hands of criminals. And
I said, look, I said, I need to make you aware,
and they said, Tara, we don't get sued by traffickers.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
A government whistleblower with the Council of Inspectors General on
Integrity and Efficiency has stepped forward to Project Veritas to
detail her harrowing experience assisting with the placement of unaccompanied
migrant children the Department of Health and Human Services.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Joining us to discuss is the spokesperson for Project Veritas,
R C Maxwell RC. Good to have you back and
welcome back to Project Veritas. Welcome back to the public
forum again.
Speaker 8 (10:58):
Well thanks for having me on to discuss this very
important story. And yeah, we're happy to be back on
Twitter sharing stories just like this one.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
A shocking narrative, a shocking whistleblower testimony from this woman.
This is the product of nine months of investigation by
Project ferraitas talk to us a little bit about the
process of verifying this whistleblower's testimony.
Speaker 8 (11:22):
We were approached by this woman, this sweet woman who
reminds me a lot of my mother, who described her
heartbroken status as a result of her volunteering with Health
and Human Services to reunite children with family members called
sponsors through a program that was essentially expedited as a
(11:44):
result of something called Field Guidance ten, where the Biden
administration wanted to accelerate taking migrants who were miners and
putting them in the hands of people who were supposed
to care for these children. Now what she told us
that care was not happening at all, and she suspected
that many of these sponsors were bad actors because many
(12:06):
of them were previously flagged by the agency. However, the
system is broken and the safeguard did not work, and
she realized that a lot of these kids were getting
put in the hands of these so called flagged sponsors
who were at flagged addresses and at Project Veritas. We
didn't simply publish that interview, obviously we'd done our own corroboration,
(12:28):
and the evidence was heartbreaking. Perhaps the most heartbreaking is
the story of a minor, fifteen sixteen year old. She's
describing how she was put in the hands of her aunt,
who she doesn't remember ever meeting, and how her aunt
essentially had her engaging in sexual relations pimped out essentially
(12:48):
to men sexually abused. She escaped and just like our
whistleblower told us that many of these traffickers use immigration
in order to get these kids into submission. Of course,
the pimp called immigration on the child, and you know,
(13:09):
the system is essentially proved that it's not working because
this woman, this child exclaining, this miner told this to
our undercover and it doesn't seem like anyone else is
really listening.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Another just stunning detail that she revealed, and I encourage
all our viewers to go to Project Veritas and watch
this for yourself.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
But it was this.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Moment when the whistleblower you guys were talking to Tara
Lee Rhodis said that what flagged some of this for
her was when she saw that dozens of children miners
were going to singular addresses. It would have been impossible
to keep you know, say forty eight kids at one
(13:51):
apartment unit, and yet that's what was happening. And somehow
this didn't flag any red alarms for any buddy at
HHS or DHS.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
You're correct, One woman, one brave woman who essentially noticed
some discrepancies that many have noticed. Actually, according to her testimony,
she's not alone and being scared for these children. However,
when it comes to accountability, no one did anything. In fact,
according to the whistleblower, she had conversations with attorneys for
(14:28):
HHS who actually told her that this kind of situation
seemed to have less risk than a situation where migrant
activist groups were suing the government because they weren't reuniting
kids with sponsors. So there seems to kind of be
this hidden elephant in the room, which is the fact
(14:48):
that you know, cartels don't sue the government, and if
these kids were not being reunited with these sponsors, we
saw during a period of the Trumpet administration lawsuits from
migrant groups saying that these kids were being put in
unfair situations. Well, as you can see from our investigation,
no one wants these kids in the hand of traffickers.
(15:11):
By the way, not just sex trafficking taking place, all
sorts of labor trafficking also taking place. So please watch
not only Part one, but also Part two and really
kind of understand was taking place at our border.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
And again this was the result of about nine months
of investigation by Project Veritas. And another thing that you
guys unveiled was that these sponsors shockingly are not usually
US citizens.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
You're correct to be a sponsor under this system, you
do not have to be a US citizen, you don't
have to have actual ID. What happens according to our whistleblower,
and as we found is that many of the sponsors
were actually minors themselves. Previously, which begs the question our
traffic hers, is there like some sort of pyramid system
(16:02):
now where traffickers are enlisting former miners to do their
dirty work. The answer is quite clear. When you take
a look at our investigation, we found out things that
we would never imagine that we would find out. For example,
many of these children they don't speak Spanish. They actually
speak a native tongue of Guatemala, a language which is
(16:23):
maybe the third or fourth most popular language in Guatemala,
which means that these kids not only don't speak English,
they don't speak Spanish. They're really here, they're scared, and
there's no one else who they can communicate to except
the people who own them and that they essentially owe
debt to, which are these traffickers who operate kind of
in conjunction with the United States federal government.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
It's just it's baffling, right when you listen to a
story like this, when you hear this kind of testimony
and look at the investigations that you guys put out,
and to watch the reaction to all of this, Naturally,
those who are fair minded and like to look at
evidence are going to be shocked. And we'll call for
investigations with the incoming Congress, the Republican Congress. But what
(17:11):
kind of pushback are you getting from those who don't
necessarily stand on the side of the political spectrum.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
This should be a bipartisan issue.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
It should be. I can say that while we've not
received a comment from the federal government on this on AHHS,
I can say that certain law enforcement entities are aware
of these reports. Can't say too much at this time
because of this sensitive nature of investigations. However, this is
(17:44):
definitely on the radar of people who can do something.
Those people are not within the federal government. It still
remains to be seen what the federal government will say.
We've had a response from an HHS attorney who made
the comment about Cartel's not suing the government, saying, quote,
she doesn't remember making this comment and kind of giving
(18:08):
a company line asking us to speak to r R,
which is the Office of Refugee and Resettlement. And as
you can see, this is the problem of government. Everyone
pings the problem around back and forth and there's no accountability.
But Chanelle, when we published stories like this and you
have the impact and reaction that we've had so far,
(18:29):
many members of Oversight have commented on this story many
members of Congress, so it remains to be seen what
will happen in terms of congressional investigations. But if you're
a Xavier Bessera, the director excuse me, the Secretary of
Health and Human Services, you would think he would want
to come out and offer some transparency on this issue.
(18:50):
Because if one woman Tara wrote us our whistleblower, if
one old woman caught what was taking place this discrepancy,
I guarantee you higher ups in the government was aware
that this was taking place. And the question is why
didn't they do anything. Why didn't they do anything that
saved these kids who are in situations where they're not
only being physically abused and exploited, but also sexually abused.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
It's such a disturbing but great question. RC Maxwell. We
appreciate the work that Project Veritas is doing on this
topic and for exposing this, and again, congratulations for being
reinstated to the Twitter verse. Hopefully you put out more
updates there and we'll be.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Watching staying tuned.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
Thank you, Chanel.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
After the break, our panel of experts weigh in on
Apple walking into trouble both at home and abroad, We'll.
Speaker 2 (19:45):

Speaker 4 (20:59):
Hey 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 really lucky number. So
(21:22):
join us at free Talk forty five and express yourself
with no fear of cancelation.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Ever, if your cable provider doesn't offer one American news network,
please call them up and kindly demand that they carry

cable provider will not know that there's strong demand for
one American news network. Please call your cable company today
(21:49):
and kindly demand that they add ONN to their channel lineup.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Welcome back, We're here with our panel of experts.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
Let's dive in.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Chinese protests have gripped the eyes of the world. Protests
have broken out in major Chinese cities over zero lockdown
COVID policies, which have limited food and medicine access for
Chinese citizens. John, We've been watching the zero lockdown COVID
policies happen for some time now, but it seems like
the Chinese people have reached a breaking point across the country.
Speaker 10 (22:31):
Well. Absolutely, and what's amazing though, is that has taken
this long because this, I mean, you talk about our
lockdown policies, their lockdown policies have been ten times.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
Worse yet literally locking people.
Speaker 10 (22:41):
Literally locking people. There was that video of the guy
soldering a bar across a door so people couldn't get
out right of an operating.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
A real fire hazard, which resulted in people actually.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Dying from that.
Speaker 10 (22:53):
Absolutely, But what is remarkable here is the silence or
the lack of any sort of interest, it seems, from
the Biden White House in what is going on, and
the tepid response, and also curiously in contrast that the
response from the British Prime Minister and others foreign leaders
(23:15):
who have spoken out forcefully, much more forcefully than our
own leadership. And one cannot help but wonder you hear
these stories from the Hunter Biden laptop about ties to China,
Chinese business deals.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Fowing millions of dollars.
Speaker 10 (23:30):
Millions, millions and millions of dollars, and one cannot help
wonder if there is not potentially some connection between some
of these Chinese business deals, presumably money going to mister
Biden one way or another, and his mild and tepid
response to this these protests.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, you know, we have.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
To remind ourselves that this is an authoritarian government. There
is no political government political plurality. So for these Chinese
citizens to be publicly and in many cases without a mask,
on camera with news outlets from around the world goes
to show you, like you said, that they have reached
a tipping point and what they're calling for is human dignity,
(24:11):
and as Americans watching, we should make explicitly clear that
we stand with them and their clarion call for freedom
around the world and for yourself.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Fretty, you cover breaking news a rete washingon Examiner. You've
been obviously ke hent close eye on this. How sustainable
do you think these protests are under the heavy thumb
of the CCP.
Speaker 11 (24:31):
Yes, so, But the looks of it, it looks kind
of looks like they're toning their scaling back a bit.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Meaning that CCP is scaling back or the protests.
Speaker 11 (24:40):
The protests more or less like I think that the
CCP will like the way they operate is they have
to be somewhat receptible public opinion, and then, like cater
Paul's to it.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
There's only so much they can actually control in terms
of imagery.
Speaker 10 (24:53):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 11 (24:54):
So the thing is that I think the thing that
a lot of people are missing is that it's not
like the protesters they I think Chinese society behaves a
lot more or thinks a lot more differently than we do.
Where it's been there's kind of in a social contract
for the past two years where the citizens understand that
the CCP, you know, they can be as repressive and
(25:14):
you know, locked down or whatever, but as long as
they actually stop COVID. But the thing is that recently
China has broken their previous records of how many COVID
cases they have.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Its cases are spiking through the roof, and you're seeing
images of people being hauled off in these little coffin
boxes and sequestered basically because they're afraid that an iota
of the virus will sneak out.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
A very Sea news reporter as well.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
I mean, he was taken off and he's now come
out and said that he was beaten and held for
hours before he was released. I mean the liberties that
we have inherited in this country, freedom of press, freedom
of religion, freedom to peaceably assembled. Those are liberties that
many people around the world do not have the privilege
to enjoy. And I think again going back to as
Americans watching, I think it calls us to realize the
(25:59):
precious freedoms that we do have in this country and
that they need to be protected.
Speaker 2 (26:02):
That's so true.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
And the problem with the protests as we are watching
it is it is such an enormous country with so
many people. So the question is can they sustain this
level of united protest against the government. A lot of
experts are very very skeptical.
Speaker 11 (26:21):
Unfortunately to give a pessimistic answer that I would say no,
especially as there's no direction or positive vision being put
forward by the protesters.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
And there's no clear leader.
Speaker 11 (26:31):
Yeah, exactly, it's more just kind of an expression against
there's mandate. COVID is getting worse, you know, they aren't
laying out policies.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
On a related note, Brady Apple has come under fire
both at home and abroad after the latest software update.
iPhone users in China saw their air drop file sharing
feature partially restricted. Air Drop was frequently used to bypass
censorship and spread information about those protests.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Additionally, Twitter CEO.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Elon Musk review Apple has mostly stopped advertising on the
social media app, although he met with Tim Cook this
week and some issues appear to be quelled. Brady, I
take it to you. What are your thoughts on the developments.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Out of Twitter this week?
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Twitter most of all meeting with Apple, but an Apple
not really coming under a lot of pressure for what
it's doing in support of the CCP over these protests.
Speaker 10 (27:24):
Yeah, I got a hand. It's Tim Cook.
Speaker 11 (27:25):
He's very consistent because he obviously likes content moderation a lot.
Just a little bit more it would be comfortable here.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
So yeah, the main problem.
Speaker 11 (27:35):
Is that you know, he's like, you know, it's you'd
think it's an American company. He would, you know, value
free speech, but of course he's catering to all the
demands of the CCP, while here, you know, he's very
willing to suppress free speech. You know, if there's that
big threat that Elon Musk was talking about, of of course,
(27:56):
you know, taking Apple or taking Twitter out of the
Apple app Store, which would kind of cripple the company.
Speaker 10 (28:02):
So it really shows that you say, it's.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
An American company, but you know most of their manufacturing
capabilities are located in China.
Speaker 10 (28:12):
Well, it's a big tech company, and big tech companies
are different from American companies and big tech companies tend
to follow the follow the profit motive. I guess, so
as long as they can make money in China, they're
going to do that. But I think it's interesting that
Tim Cook was actually meeting in Washington with some of
(28:33):
the Republicans this week, just this week, and Jim Jordan,
darryl Isa, Tom McClintock, also Kevin McCarthy, Kathy MacMorris, Rogers,
And it's interesting that he changes tune just a little
bit at least with regard to Elon Musk and the
idea of Twitter following those meetings. And I'm not sure
(28:57):
if that there's any connection. It's interesting that you haven't
heard much about that meeting, which means that something actually
may have happened. And so I think that they were
raising a lot of the same issues that we're hearing
about from China, this notion of censorship, big tech censorship,
bias against conservatives, and so certainly I think that since
(29:19):
the Republicans are taking over the majority in the House,
they will have gavels, they can do investigations, and they
can go and that's.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Their strength this next session, right they don't really have
legislative power.
Speaker 10 (29:31):
Transparency, that is their strength. Is to lay at bare,
lay bare what big tech has been doing, laybaer, what
Founci has been doing, lay bare, what happened with regard
to Twitter and silencing certain stories.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Well, and to your point, I mean, it's despicable, and
as consumers, we should take note of this action that
Apple took. And I also think that we need to
take note of perhaps an even larger issue, and that
is that Apple is a company, and the United States
as a country has allowed a dependency to be formed
on China's globe. China's global manufacturing output they lead the
(30:04):
world and global manufacturing output, and America is one of
their largest trading partners. And so I think we as
a country need to seriously reassess how intertwined our economy
has become.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
And I thought we had done that with COVID.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I mean, COVID really opened a lot of doors and
opened a lot of eyes in terms of showing how
desperately dependent we are on China, especially when it came
to our pharmaceuticals. The Trump administration kind of righted the
course on that, but yes, to your point, the Apple
story shows just how much we are dependent still on China,
(30:40):
and it affects their responses to these people who are
trying to express absolutely frustrated they are with It is a.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Reportedly known fact that Chinese Apple iPhone owners used this
air drop feature to organize due to mass online censorship
by the Chinese Communist Party. So, again going back to
how intertw our economy has become with China's I think
this is a prime example with that.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
I would love to have a conversation with Elon Musk
and figure out how he's going to put Starlink satellites
over China and overcome some of this.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
But then even Musk is a little bit.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Tied to call, She'll take the call. As we discussed
earlier in the show, Balenciaga is mired in what should
be one of the scandals of the year, after getting
exposed for running ad campaigns full of young children with bondage,
teddy bears, and other very disturbing elements. The fashion company
(31:33):
put out an apology.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
Christiani. Your thoughts on their.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Apology and how quickly the news cycle seems to have
moved on from this story.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Yeah, then I think that's a that's a big point
in and of itself, But the insistence by Balenciaga that
they were unaware that these ad campaigns were being run depicting.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Child abuse is absurd. It's absurd because you're.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Talking about a massive, multimillion dollar fashion corporation that has
various safeguards in place to ensure brand integrity.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
That was key to their apology saying, oh, we just
missed this.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
We just didn't.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
We don't apologize for the objects themselves. We simply missed
it when they went through the.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
Editorial board right and well.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
In knowing that they have these safeguards in place, it
tells you that it wasn't just one individual that green
lighted this campaign. It would have been multiple individuals that
green lighted this campaign.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
When we returned, the R and C finally does something
it should have done about a year ago.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
What that was and more coming out.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
Hey everyone, here's a question for you. What does Roku TV,
Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV 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, Apple TV, or Amazon Fire device. Simply go
to the app store, search out for Oaan, then enjoy
(33:03):
all the great programming offered by OEN including my show.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
Real America 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
(33:30):
package is only 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
and W.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
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 really lucky number.
(34:06):
So join us at free Talk forty five and express
yourself with no fear of cancelation.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
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
(34:34):
and kindly demand that they add ONN to their channel lineup.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Welcome back.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Following it an underwhelming midterm performance, the RNC launched a
Republican Party Advisory Council to analyze why the GOP failed
to meet expectations.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Years of this.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Board will include Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters, Alabama Senate
elect Katie Britt, Texas Congresswoman elect Monica de la Cruz,
and Michigan Congressmen.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Elect John James Christianni.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Your thoughts on the timing of their little board here
and will it actually result in tangible recommendations that will
help in twenty four Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Well, r and C Chairwoman Roni McDaniel's up for reelection,
so I mean, I think I think it's a good
strategic move. We always have to be willing to reassess
our marketing, our vision, and the voices that we have
out there communicating it to our base, specifically referring to
younger voters. The Republican Party just completely missed the mark.
And in fact, I would say that and what we're
(35:45):
seeing post twenty twenty two midterms is that young voters
were a wall to the Republican red wave, and so.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
That's a big issue with you.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
You actually covered millennial voters, young younger generation voters and
their participation and the voting process. What did you see
in this last session that the Republicans should take note of?
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Well, I noticed that the Republican Party were very quick
to call it silly when the Democrat leaders talk to
some of the creators on TikTok YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, we
call it silly. They're doing tiktoks with them, sharing these
these videos that go viral online. But whatever they did
was effective. They got their voters out to vote, but.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Was turnout amongst young voters enough to actually move the
dial to where the Republicans should be taking notes.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Well, the reports are saying, the reports that are coming
out post to twenty twenty two elections are stating that
young voters were a wall to the red wave that
we anticipated for Republicans. So whatever our messaging is, we
need to reassess why what we are saying and the
voices that we have out there communicating our mission statement
to voters is not resonating with those voting blocks and
as well.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
As with others.
Speaker 11 (36:55):
And you know, a huge issue here is just money,
you know, Like it was almost like the RNC was
sabotaging certain campaigns. Like there were some great candidates like
Blake Masters who only got it was a small fraction
of spending than what his opponent might, you know, had
you ended up winning.
Speaker 10 (37:15):
And you know, I honestly.
Speaker 11 (37:16):
Think that if he had more, if he received more
funds from the RNC, than he would have readily won.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
No doubt he will spearhead that conversation about the allocation
of RNC funding two candidates, right, because that was the
big controversy that McConnell was fundeling money up to Alaska
when he could have been fundeling money back down to Arizona,
an actual battleground state.
Speaker 10 (37:37):
Well, the other little piece of this is that younger
voters favor early vote and vote by mail by huge margins.
They're much more comfortable with that than older voters, which
kind of gets back to the Republicans needing a vote
by mail, early vote strategy that they don't seem to have.
And that's also another piece of this.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
It seems to be a very lated conclusion for them,
but better late than ever, I guess. The Senate passed
the Respect for Marriage Act by a vote of sixty
one thirty six earlier this past week, sending the bill
back to the House.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
For a vote as early as this upcoming Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
However, the bill was passed without Republican Senator Mike Lee's amendment,
which would have prevented the federal government from punishing people
or organizations based on religious beliefs about marriage. John, can
you explain the ruckus around this amendment and why they
singled it out?
Speaker 10 (38:32):
Well, there are a couple things. Number One, this was
the timing. The Democrats decided to have this on what
is as a comeback vote, on the Monday after Thanksgiving,
and of course nobody was paying any attention going to Thanksgiving,
so nobody would engage, nobody would write or call their
senators because they were having turkey and great time to
(38:53):
sneak things in exactly, So everybody was pretty much unprepared
for this, anybody who would actually go out grassroots lobbying.
So that was the first thing. The second thing was
that the Democrats would bring this up at all, because
it's really kind of a ropodope because the Supreme Court
came out with their Burgerfeld decision, which made same sex
(39:16):
marriage legal essentially not legal everywhere, but in states where
it's not legal, it has to be recognized. It's not
mandating the states have same sex marriage, but it would
be recognized as legal everywhere. So this is basically not necessary.
The whole thing is unnecessary, and so that's what has
people so angry and upset, and so Senator Lee was
(39:39):
trying to offer this carve out, a carveout for religious institutions, nonprofits, universities,
things like that. The issue is something called color of law.
The Supreme Court has interpreted color of law it is
a crime for one or more persons, using power given
by a governmental agency, local, state, or federal, to deprive
or conspire willfully to depri I have another person have
(40:01):
any right protected by the constitution or law of the
United States. This means if you have a university that
gets federal funding, say Liberty University, which gets some federal funding,
they cannot then not recognize a same sex marriage or
a same sex.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Union if they against their faith.
Speaker 10 (40:22):
Even if it's against their faith, if they do, according
to this concept color of law, they would either have
to not receive any any kind of federal funding, or
they would have to recognize this, this same sex marriage idea.
The other thing is during the when a Bergefeld was
(40:44):
discussed in the Supreme Court, Justice Alito asked the solicitor
generally said, should states be required to recognize same sex marriages?
Religious universities could lose their tax exem status. Solicitor Genuine said.
The Solicitor General at the time said this, it is
certainly going to be an issue. I don't deny that.
I don't deny that. Justice so Lato it's going to
be an issue. So they knew this would be an
(41:05):
issue going forward. You also have this eighty seven thousand
more IRS agents which are supposedly on their way. And
this is the lever that Lee and others perceive they're
going to use, is taking away tax exempt status for
institutions like Liberty University and.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
Others are who are likely not going to sacrifice their
belief systems in.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
Exchange for money. They're probably going to stay to their
Here's the thing.
Speaker 10 (41:30):
Liberty can defend themselves. They've got money. But what about churches,
individual little churches. A lot of these places are just
going to roll over and say it's not worth it.
We can't afford to hire the lawyer.
Speaker 2 (41:41):
Extraordinary to go to court. It's an extraordinary position, right, We're.
Speaker 10 (41:45):
Just going to basically do it because we can't afford
or defend ourselves.
Speaker 3 (41:49):
And to John's point, the religious liberty that we have
in the United States protects all citizens Christians, Jews, Muslims,
atheists from being forced to conform to the fickleness of
society and government.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
And that's precisely what this does. The failure to pass.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Senator Lee's amendment opens up religious organizations, institution, priests, pastors
form various legal attacks for simply not complying with something
that goes directly against their religion. The House gets this
bill next week. Obviously, our prayers that they will defend
religious liberty for all, but the time to actually get
involved and call these members like see you mentioned grassroots
(42:28):
effort to let them know where we stand on this
issue would be now.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Speaking of things that they sneak through during things like Thanksgiving.
Here's the headline that really caught my eye. The US
Treasury Department announced it would permit Chevron to begin pumping
oil from Venezuelan oil fields. Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby, who
is now the NSC spokesperson of the White House floundered
(42:52):
while attempting to defend the Biden administration's policies.
Speaker 9 (42:56):
Why is it the President Biden would rather lead the
US companies for oil in Venezuela then here in the US.
Speaker 12 (43:04):
That's not an accurate take on the president's view.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Earlier this month, he said no more drilling. There is
no more drilling.
Speaker 12 (43:11):
The President has issued nine thousand permits for drilling on
US federal lands Peter, nine thousand of them being unused.
There are plenty of opportunities for oil and gas companies
to drill here in the United States. I'll let Chevron
speak for this particular issue of sanctions relief, but our
expectation is it won't be a lot of oil coming
out of there. It will have to be shipped to
the United States.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
Poor Kirman, you can feel the heat rising through his
shoe soles. Brady wasn't as extraordinary that they passed. They
lifted those sanctions off of Chevron the weekend of Thanksgiving.
No one's paying attention, and it's just it's resulted in
this absurd situation where we are now sending US oil
producers down to Venezuela an adversary.
Speaker 11 (43:54):
Yeah, you know, it's I mean, it just kind of
I think the greater point here is the fact that
it reveals just the absolute inconsistency of the Biden administration's
foreign policy.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Where confusion and inconsistency.
Speaker 2 (44:07):
Yeah, like I you know, I would, I don't.
Speaker 11 (44:10):
I'm not against like a kind of more real politique
foreign policy.
Speaker 10 (44:13):
I would even advocate for it.
Speaker 11 (44:14):
But the problem is, you know, it's just completely inconsistent.
You know, it's obviously you know, they were just saying
that Venezuela was a big enemy before, but then you know,
whenever the proxy war against Russia begins, then we'll go
back and grovel back to them. So which represented it
is kind of fight for human rights and that the
you know, United States is trying to advocate that across
(44:37):
the world. But then it's just where we apply that
seems just very arbitrary.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
It does, and it's there was direct result of the
Biden administration's very subservient, subservient policies to the environmental movement
to just not drill in the United States.
Speaker 2 (44:54):
Ever, that was my point as well, Sorry to mean
to rupt to you.
Speaker 3 (44:57):
I think that as with so much in today's climate,
This was a purely political decision that appeases the environ
environmentalists here domestically, but does absolutely nothing to tackle They can't.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
You here at home, but go ahead and drill everywhere else,
including at the on the shores of our adversaries. Another
thing that was amazing about his statement, the defense that
nine thousand permits are issued, Well, when you break that down,
it's the.
Speaker 10 (45:21):
Permits, it's the financing. Banks won't back oil drilling companies
because you have this this thing. Now, you have ESG investing,
you have the climate scorecard, and so financial institutions don't
want to finance. The reason they won't finance is because
Joe Biden is saying, we don't want to drill anymore oil.
We're not going to have more pipelines, and so it
goes around and around. Got a hand it to John Kirby.
(45:43):
Though he is a pro he is a very good spokesperson,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
There's been talk about him replacing the current press secretary,
and many of us in the briefing room are kind
of hopeful just because he tends to give somewhat you know, straightforward.
Speaker 10 (45:58):
In even if he's lying. It's it's fun to watch
and operate, you know. It makes it sound so sensible.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
We're all out of time, Panels, thank you so much
for visiting with us. When we come back, ESG is
the new hot trend for big business. What you need
to know and why you should be very concerned, We'll.
Speaker 2 (46:14):

Speaker 2 (49:04):
Welcome back.
Speaker 1 (49:05):
You may have heard the acronym EESG in the news
or in passing on social media. It's the supposed next
big thing in finance. ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and
corporate governance. We've discussed this before with state's attorneys general
who are trying to fight back, but they're very clearly
in the minority. So joining us now to discuss and
(49:27):
break all this down is former Pennsylvania Senate candidate Kathy Barnett. Kathy,
you wrote an op ed where you called ESG a
woke scam layout for the uninitiated, the detriments of ESG,
and how it's invading our financial culture.
Speaker 13 (49:46):
Yes, well, as you've already stated, the E is for environmental,
the S is for social, and the G is for governess.
And generally when you're talking to Americans, they have always
kind of thought of the E, which is another environmental
another word for climate change as one bucket or as
(50:07):
one movement, and our nation the s social justice, critical
race theory, transgenderism in our schools and the like as
a different bucket. But today the governess, the g of ESG,
it is, as I like to think of it, the
glue that is bringing all of that together as one
(50:29):
mighty fist, and it is beating this way through one
corporate boardroom after another. And the result of it is
that not only is it breaking down this fuduciary responsibility
or relationship between the asset manager and the individual investor,
(50:51):
because like most people would think that if I am
giving my hard earned money to my asset manager, that
my asset managers number one focus in life is to
maximize my shareholder's wealth. ESG wedges itself in between that relationship.
So you see a breakdown and that traduciary responsibility because
(51:13):
now the goal of the asset manager is not necessarily
to maximize your shareholder wealth. Now they talk about this
little buzzword stakeholder, So it's not just about you, it's
about the global stakeholder. But the other insidious aspect about
ESG is not only is it breaking down this relationship
(51:34):
between the investor and the asset manager. But it's also
redefining traditional American values, and it's doing so by avoiding
the ballot box altogether, is bypassing Congress and is going
straight to the elites and corporate boardrooms to determine what
(51:56):
we as Americans will value, what we will teach in
our schools, what we will promote in our nation without
getting the approval of the American peoples.
Speaker 1 (52:07):
Is there a way to reverse course here and keep
ESG from infiltrating our entire our entire world.
Speaker 13 (52:16):
Yeah, no, I am very hopeful people are waking up.
Speaker 11 (52:20):
You have a.
Speaker 13 (52:21):
Number of states attorney generals who are forbidding, passing regulations
and rules, and even legislators who are beginning within states
to pass laws that forbid state money from like teachers, unions, firefighters,
and the light to be invested in any ESG related
(52:44):
asset assets. So that's really good. So that's taking billions
of dollars out of these ESG funds at a state level,
you know, there is nothing we can't put a price on,
and informed electorate, you cannot put a price on that.
(53:05):
When the grass roote, when the people are informed and
they understand that these things are bad. Now they are
equipped to go in and talk to their legislators, because
our legislators can, you know, with the swift of a pen,
decide to just bar this all together.
Speaker 2 (53:22):
Is there any way to.
Speaker 1 (53:26):
Maybe perhaps offer an alternative method of incentivizing corporations to
respond here or is this is do you think it's
the only solution here is through states legislatures?
Speaker 2 (53:39):
Well, I mean, well, that's a.
Speaker 13 (53:40):
Really big blow when you have I think we're up
to maybe fifteen different states that have barred ESG funding
with the you know, and we're talking about billions of dollars.
You know, you're talking about teachers' unions and the various
unions at the state state employee employment. States are typically
the largest employer, and so they are barring their asset
(54:03):
managers to invest and ESG. So that's a really big blow.
We need more than fifteen, we need to continue. And
all of this kind of happened this year. So this
is something that people are waking up to.
Speaker 1 (54:15):
And Kathy, they're waking up too to the fact that
not only is ESG going to push a certain viewpoint,
but it's also going to punish those who do.
Speaker 2 (54:28):
Not follow that certain world view.
Speaker 1 (54:32):
Right, and that's going to have some of the more
alarming element about all of this.
Speaker 13 (54:35):
Now you have the sec IS getting involved in that
because they recognize that a lot of people are using
ESG as a designer label. If you have ESG if
your mutual fund like black Rock, State Street, Vanguard, these
are the three largest asset managers. And just to give
you some perspective of how large and how much leveraged
(54:59):
the three particular asset managers have, they combine black Rocks,
State Street, and Vanguard combined, they manage roughly twenty two
trillion dollars. The us GDP is roughly twenty trillion dollars,
so they can manage more money than the us GDP.
So that's a lot of leverage. So when they walk
(55:21):
into companies like Exon, for example, they walked in a
couple of years ago and they used that combined leverage
to kick out three of CEOs and replace them with
very progressive leaning CEOs. And so now so they've taken
over the board of ESGS, I'm sorry of Exon, and
(55:45):
so now they get to use Exon as this poster
child when they go into Chevron and say, if you
don't do what we want you to do as far
as not drilling, as far as pivoting towards renewable sources
of energy, then we're gonna come in and do to
your board what we just did to Exxon's board, right,
and that has been a huge leverage. And so you
(56:08):
see the impact of these very woke individuals going in
and redefining American values. As I said, because instead of
Exon and Chevron drilling more so that we can produce,
become energy independent and stop Biden from crawling on his
hands and knees till Iran and Iraq and our enemies
(56:28):
begging from them what we can do for ourselves. So
instead of Chevron and Exxon producing more energy, they're not.
They're doing the complete opposite. They're trying to find renewable
sources of energy. So that's a tremendous amount of clout
that these are, that these entities have, and they're using it,
they're not shy about it, and it's redefining our country.
(56:51):
But you're absolutely correct, because if you have an ESG
labeling on your mutual fund for black Rock, for example,
well they get to charge five times the management fees
for an ESG labeled mutual fund than they would a
you know, just a generic kind of fun right, So
(57:15):
they's a tremendous amount of money in the in the
labeling of these particular funds. So now the SEC has
gotten involved in it, and now they're penalizing companies who
have the label ESG. But what's in their fund is
no different from what's in the S and P. Five hundred.
They're just labeling it so that they can charge more fees.
Speaker 1 (57:38):
What's to prevent companies from engaging in ESG behavior? But
just taking the label off and then bypassing state legislatures
like how does how how do we monitor that and
how do we prevent it? That seems like a deeper
cultural problem if yeah, it's.
Speaker 13 (57:58):
Just so you see that. Yeah, well, you know, activists
will be very happy, like they don't care one way
or the other whether you are putting the label on
or taking the label off, as long as they get
to teach critical race theory in your child school or
you know, less, they can just get rid of meritocracy
and just start bringing people in because of the color
(58:19):
of their skin and not actually what they're bringing to
your company. So activists who are the big winners under ESG,
they could care less with the labeling, but for the
black Rock, State Street and Vanguard and all the others,
they're very much concerned with the money and the control
that they get to have and the virtue signaling that
(58:41):
they get to walk around with. So they want those
labels right because again with an ESG label black Rock,
for example, one of their largest mutual funds, they get
to charge five times the fee, and so that's a
lot of money. When you're talking about you know, two
trillion dollars of access do two trillion times you know,
(59:02):
five times the rate. So that's a lot of money.
They want to continue to keep that. And plus, like
with most of these social justice warriors, they love the
virtue signaling that it gives them. And you know, they
get to wear it around like a mink coat and
you know, like look at all my mini colors and
