Speaker 1 (00:12):
Good evening and welcome to the real story Tonight. Victor
Davis Hansen, Jim McLaughlin, Mishun Maddick, Drew McKissick, and Gene
Hamilton will be joining us as the work to save
America continues on. But first, NATO, how strong is it
now in the face of Russia's aggression? Well, really, first,
we should take a look back as to how NATO
was before before Biden took office. As President Trump worked
(00:36):
to make NATO strong again from the earliest moments of
his presidency. For President Trump often talked about it on
the campaign trail in twenty sixteen and at his first
NATO summit in May twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Lest the lamestream media forget.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
The NATO of the future must include a great focus
on terrorism and immigration, as well as threats from Russia
and on NATO's eastern and southern borders. These grave security
concerns are the same reason that I have been very
(01:14):
very direct with Secretary of Staltenberg and members of the
Alliance in saying that NATO members must finally contribute their
fair share and meet their financial obligations. But twenty three
of the twenty eight member nations are still not paying
(01:37):
what they should be paying and what they're supposed to
be paying for their defense.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Now, the fake and krupt news media went apoplectic over
President Trump's remarks. How dare he ask our allies to
pay their fair share?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
But why the outrage?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
President Trump was really the only one fighting to bolster
NATO's defense, something NATO members at the time apparently thought
was a laughing matter.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
If all NATO members had spent just two percent of
their GDP on defense last year, we would have had
another one hundred and nineteen billion dollars for our collective
defense and for the financing of additional NATO reserves. We
(02:25):
should recognize that, with these chronic underpayments and growing threats,
even two percent of GDP is insufficient to close the
gaps in modernizing readiness and the size of forces we
have to make up for the many years lost. If
(02:48):
NATO countries made their full and complete contributions, then NATO
would be even stronger than it is today, especially from
the threat of terrorists.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So did NATO members pay attention to any part of
President Trump's call to action? Well, President Trump made sure
they did, because he didn't just talk about NATO countries
paying their fair share. He then went on to call
them out on the money. They had no problem just
handing over to Russia.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
We have to talk about the vidions and billions of
dollars that's being paid to the country that we're supposed
to be protecting you against. You know, everybody's everybody's talking
about it all over the world.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
They'll say, well, wait a minute, we're supposed to.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Be protecting you from Russia. But why are you paying
billions of dollars to Russia for energy? Why are countries
in NATO, namely Germany, having a large percentage of the
energy needs paid you know, to Russia and taking care
of by Russia.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Why was President Trump the only one asking these questions?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Why was he the.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Only leader demanding answers, demanding action and delivering results. As
in December twenty nineteen, President Trump not only sanctioned that
tool of corsion, Northstream two, but also congratulated the two percenters,
those NATO countries who finally join the US and paying
at least, if not more than, their fair share on defense.
As President Trump hosted a luncheon in their honor at
(04:15):
the twenty nineteen London Summit.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
These are.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Eight countries plus US plus the United States that are
fully paid. They met the goal of two percent. We
call them the two percenters. Someday we'll raise it to
three percent and four percent maybe, but right now we
have it. But these are countries that have not been delinquent.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
They've been in.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Some cases even more than two percent because they feel
so strongly about what we're doing. And that's really a
sign of respect for the United States.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
And one of the.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Gentlemen I will mention who but said, it's so important
to have the United States as a part of NATO
because of what we've done.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
In Yes, President Trump made NATO strong again, just as
he did America. What a difference America first makes something
(05:58):
the lamestream media wants to forget, but we never will.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And that is a real story.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Joining us now with his reaction, Author and political commentator
Victor Davis Hansen. Victor, when you go back to these
speeches that President Trump gave to NATO members, NATO was
so strong. Now with Biden, it's so weak it is.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
And notice how the establishment, the bipartisan Washington establishment and
the media tell us just the opposite that Joe is
united NATO but he's united it by platitudes and rhetoric,
but not by actual action. And that's kind of typical
of Donald Trump when we look at Russian collusion and
the Alpha bank store and the steel daal say, versus
(06:38):
what he actually did to Russia. I mean, whether he
killed Russian mercenaries that he had too, he got out
of the Intermediate Missile Deal, or he uped the defense
budget by one hundred billion dollars, up NATO's budget, he
had the sanctions, he sold Jablins. People don't look at
the actual record. I'm afraid they just look at the
rhetoric and Biden in contrast, nobody's criticizing them. But he
(07:01):
begged Putin to beg more oil. That was months ago.
And then remember he asked them to put certain hackers
in touch with Putin and he said, just keep away
from these sixteen entities. That was basically green lighting the
hacking and then the Afghanistan scadadal. So he's done all
he could too, weaken to Terren's visav Russia, and yet
(07:24):
the media and the establishment considered that his rhetoric is
more important than Trump's actual achievements.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Of course, you got John Bolton going around saying Putin
was just waiting for President Trump to pull out of NATO.
But the fact is President Trump wanted all those NATO
countries to boost up their defense spending. That was trying
to increase their defense budget. This wasn't trying to break
apart NATO. America was really having to carry the entire burden.
When these NATO countries they have enough money they were
(07:51):
paying for oil from Russia.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
They do. And Trump reiterated several times that the aggregate
population of NATO was one big people and it's GDP
was about twenty times larger than Russia. So they had
the wherewithal to absolutely deter Vladimir Putin, but not if
only five or six countries are meeting their obligations. And
again Trump and Art of the Deal style talks and
(08:16):
to get attention and then he gets achievements and results.
But if you're disingenuous, you just pay attention. When he said,
you know, he was pretty tough with NATO, And according
to the Bipartisan Political Parlance Diction Protocol, you just don't
bring up uncomfortable disagreements within the alliance, and then you
let the alliance get weaker and weaker because you won't
(08:38):
talk facts, and he did, and that was considered worse
than the actual good that he did.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
NATO.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Really, when you think of the countries that started actually
meeting their fair share, and even more when you look
at the percentage of countries that started to do that,
that was something no one had ever asked for it before.
And now, of course with Biden, there no one's asking
for an increase in spending. They just want America to
again shoulder the burden, when of course Biden's pretty much
to blame for everything that's happened right now because none
(09:06):
of this would have happened if you go back to
Nordstream too, if you go back to Afghanistan, Biden's display
of weakness really enabled this.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
It did, and that's very ironic. It's almost like nemesis
or karma or payback, because now the Europeans know that
Trump is not there and there's not going to be
anybody necessarily who come to their aid in a muscular fashion,
and all of a sudden they're thinking, wow, Trump was right,
I wish we had a rearmed And now they're talking
as if a lot of countries are going to make
(09:34):
the two percent limit because they feel that the United
States is actually weakened natal to such a degree they
have no one to rely on but themselves. And yet
the media spends it as Joe Biden as the great Uniter.
But again that's been characteristic of Biden from the moment
he stepped into office. The media and the establishment closed
ranks to suggest that what he's said would be far
(09:55):
more important than what he did, and what he was
just the opposite with Trump.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
And really, when you look at NATO, now who's the
country really that's in charge? You just see you hear
different reactions in different responses from different countries. There's no unity.
Biden was supposed to bring unity. America was supposed to
be back, and yet each country is responding in very
different ways because there's nowhere united strategy.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
I think the problem is of the thirty countries, there's
two large countries, Germany with eighty million and Turkey with
about eighty four million. And Turkey is freelancing on its own.
It has very strange policies about who gets into the
Black Sea and not. It sells equipment and weapons to Ukraine,
but it also colludes with Russia. And then there's Germany
and It wasn't just that Germany didn't, as the wealthiest
(10:41):
member of NATO, meet it's two percent. It urged other
countries who were afraid of Germany not to meet them either.
And so when you look at internal poles of those
two countries, not even internal Pew international polls, both Turkey
and Germany, the public's polled anti America. In the case
of Germany, they pulled that they were more favorably inclined
(11:02):
towards Russia than the United States. That's an untenable situation
when the two largest countries by population and Turkey had
the largest military and Germany had the largest financial base,
didn't believe in the alliance, or at least their people didn't.
Both both countries did not believe. When asked their populations
did not say they believed in an Article five that
they would come to the assistance of another NATO member.
(11:24):
That was pretty clear about fifty five percent.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
And President Trump was saying this week, here you have
Germany rebuilding their military, you have Japan rebuilding their military.
What does that sound like when we talk about World
War three? You're really and you have China aligning with
Russia Iran. There really is a frightening alliance and allegiance
going on right now where the allies are split and
you don't really know what's gonna well, we know what's
going to happen next, but it's just who's going to
(11:48):
make the first move it is.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
And remember the NATO's slogan by Lord Ismy when it
started was keep Russia out of Europe. Well, Russia's into
Ukraine now, which is considered part of Europe, and to
keep the United States in And I don't think Biden
is making I guess Kamala Harris is over there, but
she's not really had any input. And keep Germany down
because of the three wars within one hundred years that
(12:12):
had occurred in Europe, and Germany now has no choice
to rearm and we don't know how that will eventually end,
but history suggests that's something we should be very careful about,
especially if it were to go nuclear, and it could
go nuclear in six weeks if it wanted to, given
its expertise. So the whole NATO mission has it's crumbling now,
and that's because of the United States leadership, and all
(12:35):
these platitudes have a shelf life, and then after when
they're not matched by deeds. People get cynical and say,
you know what, I'm going to freelance because I don't
want to hear Biden lecture about unity anymore unless he's
going to do something.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Really, it's such a disgrace when you think what President
Trump did for NATO and to think where we are
now in just over a year. It's so sad to see.
But Victor, thank you for what you're doing to really
give us that historical perspective. You hate to see history
repeat itself in even get worse because the escalation that's happened,
We've never really seen anything like it, although we can
recognize the pattern.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
So God bless you.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
We love all your articles you publish out there, so
we'll look forward to hearing from you again soon.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Thank you for having me on again.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Always wonderful to talk with you, and still to come
on the Real Story Team Biden continues to lead from
behind when it comes to America's energy crisis.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Stay with us, we'll be back after this.

Speaker 9 (13:50):
We know, you know we have got to still reckon,
reckon with the impact of climate change, that clean energy
transition is not coming.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
It is here.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Team Biden's war on American energy. The left continues its
radical push to eliminate fossil fuels at the detriment of
the American people, as gas prices set yet another record high.
The average price for regular unleaded now stands at four
dollars and thirty two cents a gallon, up seven cents
in just the last twenty four hours and an astounding
(14:23):
one dollar and fifty cents since this time last year.
Don't be fooled by the Democrats' empty promises that they're
doing all they can to provide relief at the pump.
This is all part of their scheme to drive radical
policies like the Green New Deal to combat so called climate.
Speaker 11 (14:39):
Change, the Grand Home Plan to increase oil production in America.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
That is hilarious.
Speaker 12 (14:49):
Now average transition from their own industry.
Speaker 11 (14:51):
Yes, the rise and gas prices over the long term
makes it any even stronger case for doubling down our
investment and our focus on clean energy options.
Speaker 12 (15:00):
It should motivate us to accelerate the transition of clean energy.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
We're working through an energy transition, and the reality is
we have to take some time to get off of
oil and gas.
Speaker 13 (15:10):
So the people from rural to suburban to urban communities
can all benefit from the gas savings of driving an evy.
Speaker 11 (15:18):
What this actually justifies in President Biden's view is the
fact that we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil,
on oil in general, and we need to look at
other ways ofss of having energy.
Speaker 10 (15:29):
We are all in the midst of a turning point.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
It should come as no surprise that the Left's war
on energy is driving prices to new highs on a
daily basis. After all, we were warned that the Democrats
were planning to attack the oil and gas industry beginning
on day one of their occupation of the White House.
Speaker 14 (15:49):
Would there be any place for fossil fuels, including coal
and fracking in a Biden administration.
Speaker 15 (15:56):
No, we would, We would work it out. We would
make sure it's a eliminated and no more subsidies for
either one of those.
Speaker 14 (16:03):
There's not enough green energy projects in far too many
oil extraction projects.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.
Speaker 15 (16:13):
Number one, no more subsidies for fossil fil industry, no
more drilling on federal lands, no more drilling, including offshore,
no ability for the oil industry to continue to drill
period ends.
Speaker 12 (16:25):
Number one.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
We are going to have to graduate from the gas tax,
because we're going to have to graduate from gas.
Speaker 12 (16:30):
Climate change will be the center of our national security
and foreign policy.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
This radical agenda, courtesy of Team Biden, correlates directly with
his sagging approval ratings. A wopping majority of Americans sixty percent,
according to new pulling out from Rasmussen, disapprove of Sleepy
Joe's jaw performance, joining US NOW President and partner at
McLaughlin and Associates, Jim McLaughlin.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
So, Jim, as.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
You're doing polling now, do you just go to the
gas station and get one hundred percent disapproval of Joe Biden.
Speaker 16 (17:01):
It's amazing. And I love that video montage that you
just showed, And when you look at it, what it
says is these people are flat out nuts. I mean,
they're just crazy and they have no clue how the
American economy works. I remember my good friend Larry Kudlow
telling me years ago, one of the most important things
(17:23):
you need to have in a strong economy is you
have to have abundant and affordable fuel and energy sources.
And these folks because and you know what, I'm going
to go back a second, because this is important. I
remember Alexandria Cassio, Cortes's former chief of staff, saying, this
(17:43):
isn't really about the environment getting rid of these fossil fuels.
What it's really about is putting socialism on our economy.
And that's the only thing that can explain these radical,
extreme policies that are killing working class Americans. They're killing
the middle class, and they're killing small businesses because this
(18:06):
drives up the cost This is a main driver of
the inflation that we have right now.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Really, when you see it just keeps getting worse every
day you look, and the prices just keep getting higher, inflation,
gas prices. There's no end in sight, because it's not
like they're doing something about it. The American people, when
hard times come, we can usually try to get through them.
But when this is just one bad thing after another
and nobody's adjusting course at all, all we can really
think about is November, because what other hope is there
(18:33):
right now?
Speaker 16 (18:34):
Think about his energy secretary when she asked, what are
you going to do to increase our supply of oil?
Speaker 10 (18:41):
She laughed yeah.
Speaker 16 (18:43):
And these are the people. They did it from day one.
As soon as Joe Biden took the oath of office,
he walked over to the White House. He shut down
the Keystone Pipeline, which, by the way, just in itself
that put thousands of Americans out a good paying job.
Then he puts us into the crazy Paris Climate A
(19:03):
court again. Then he stops energy exploration in places like
Alaska and on federal lands, and then he brags, he
bragged repeatedly about putting oil companies out of business. So
this is what we reap right now. And the other
part is what do they do. They try to foist
blame on everybody but themselves. They're telling us at first
(19:25):
that this is transitory. Then they said it was actually
good for the economy that we had all this inflation.
Then they blamed it on big meat, they blamed it
on the big corporations, Wall Street, corporate greed, and now
it's all Vladimir Putin's fault. And these folks just don't
have a clue out there, and it's why the American
people are rejecting the Biden presidency right now.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yea, honestly can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
All of their messaging now putin's price height, they have,
Biden puts out statements, Christian Saki does a video on
it as if they're all just going to synchronize their
messaging and it's going to change public opinion. But it's
not going to change public opinion when you look at
this Rasmus.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
And pull out.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
People want to return to energy independence. People want to
go back to President Trump's policies. They want to go
back to President Trump, frankly.
Speaker 16 (20:11):
And it's really an insult to the American people right
now because the American people remember that Donald Trump had
us with energy and independence. He had the price of
gasoline was barely over two dollars. Why, because what he
did was was common sense approaches to increasing our energy production.
(20:32):
And he knows, in addition to his tax cuts, in
addition to getting given us regulatory relief, the fact that
we were energy independence and that you know, our energy
was affordable, those were big drivers why we had the
economic growth that we did under President.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Trump and the thing we also had the clean and
stair and cleanest water. It's not as if he sacrificed
the green agenda because we are climate conservationists. When you
look at what the Republican Party has done, done what
he did with really trying to prioritize our environment but
also the economy, we can do both. We don't have
to sacrifice the economy for the sake of the environment,
which we're not even helping the environment right now because
(21:11):
we're going to Venezuela and we're going to Saudi Arabia
and Iran and of course Russia.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
What is that doing to our environment.
Speaker 16 (21:19):
It's crazy when you think about it, because just as
you said, while our environmental footprint was getting better during
the Trump years, they're going to these bad actors like
and it's bad for the environment, you know, just as
you said, places like Iran, places like Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.
But these are also our enemies. And remember when America
(21:42):
and when Europe is more reliant on oil from places
like Russia, places like the Middle East, it helps, it
helps Russia, it helps China, and it helps the terrorists,
and it's just it's it's just madness right now. It's
amazing they are doing the exact opposite of what they
(22:02):
should be doing right now to help our economy and
to make us energy independent again.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
As you're talking to people and doing your polling, do
you see Democrats starting to shift over, whether it's changing
their party affiliation or simply saying they may be Democrats,
but they're going to vote Republican just to stop this madness.
Speaker 16 (22:21):
I am seeing numbers in our polling and I'm showing
my age here where you have is Democrats are voting
for Republicans at numbers we haven't seen since going back
to nineteen ninety four in the eighties. Right now, you
have significant cohorts of Democrats right now that are telling
(22:42):
you they're going to vote for the Republicans because they
want to check in balance on the Biden administration. And
there's about right now, there's about depending upon what part
of the country, there's a good twelve to sixteen percent
of the electorate that voted for Joe Biden that are
looking to vote for the Republicans for Congress and for
the US Senate because they want to stop this radicalism.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Because it's affecting everybody when you see what's happening. They
did take President and Trump for granted. And now when
you see just how good our economy and energy was
even despite COVID, even when things were so bad during COVID,
they were better than they are right now, it's just
it's so sad to see. But Jim, thank you for
what you're doing to expose this and bring it to light.
We always look forward to talking with you, so we'll
look forward to seeing you again soon.
Speaker 16 (23:26):
Thanks Natalie, great to be here.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Always great to see you. We'll see you next week.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
And its gas prices continue to set new records every day.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Who could have predicted this?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
While President Trump, Michelle and Maddick is up next with
more on this, so stay right there.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
We'll be back after this.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
It was his last.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Rally of the twenty twenty presidential campaign in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
And what did President Trump talk about? Well, what was
and still is so important to Michigan and every state
for that matter, energy independence.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
For the first time.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
We are energy independent.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
You never heard that term before. We're energy independent. And
you know, we have very good relationships in different parts
of the world, and some we help.
Speaker 17 (24:34):
We don't have to though now we don't have to do.
Speaker 18 (24:36):
We do what we want.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
But we have some very good allies and partners that
will help them. But we don't need their oil anymore.
Speaker 19 (24:42):
We have so much oil.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
We have more oil than anybody, okay, And it's an
incredible thing that has happened over the last few years,
a lot.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Of great things.
Speaker 17 (24:52):
And you're paying what two.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Dollars a gallon for your gasoline.
Speaker 19 (24:55):
That's okay, you know what that's like.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
That's like a tax cut. That's bigger than it tax cut.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
If Biden got in, you'd be paying seven dollars, eight dollars,
nine dollars.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Didn't this say get rid of your car. We're going
to build some more windmills, kill all the birds.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
How precient as not only are gas prices fast approaching
double digits, especially in California, but now Biden is talking
about what an enormous opportunity this is too you guessed
it or actually President Trump predicted it get rid of
your car.
Speaker 12 (25:27):
I think it presents an enormous opportunity. Enormous opportunity to
improve the health of the public overall. Number one, because
we're moving in the direction and we don't need to
propel most of what we have in the future by
with regard to oil products.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, who needs oil products when you can go green?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
What an idea for the birds?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Joining us now with her reaction, the co chair of
the Michigan Orpublican Party, Mishaan Maddick Michean, this is why
today on Twitter, Trump was right about everything was trending
even on Twitter.
Speaker 14 (26:06):
Oh my gosh, just watching that clip. I was there
that night in Grand Rapids. Oh what a night. And
can you even imagine like going back in time and
thinking about the fact that we were paying two dollars
a gallon and what our economy was like at that time.
I mean, it's like, it's heartbreaking for me to even
watch that. And you know what, Americans know that, and
(26:27):
that's what Republicans are going to do. We're going to
keep reminding them of that because we all know what
would bring relief to Michiganders and all Americans, and that
would be producing oil in our own country.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Right really, and when you see what Biden's done, of
course your own governor. They don't want us to be
energy independent. They don't want your pipeline. They want to
shut down line five. They want to shut down all
energy production. Really, because that's their ultimate goal. If they're
already talking about, we wouldn't have this problem if we
all had evs.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
That's their ultimate goal, get rid of cars.
Speaker 14 (26:59):
I mean, if you think about it, how the lunacy
that they can suggest that electric vehicles are somehow affordable
to the average American. I mean, I think the lowest
price is a sixty thousand dollars vehicle, not to mention
in a climate like Michigan. We happen to have a
friend who owns one of these cars, and he went
to work in Lansing back to Bloomfield Hills and he
(27:21):
had to go back to a meeting and because of
the temperature cold, his car was stuck and he had
to uber home from Lansing. So, you know, it's just ridiculous,
and it shows how out of touch they are. They
actually have no idea what the average of Americans are
going through. And I mean, you know, we spent a
lot of time making fun of them.
Speaker 10 (27:39):
I mean, at least I do. Today.
Speaker 14 (27:40):
Kamala Harris was like really entertaining, but at the same time,
it's actually kind of terrifying. Our leaders are not leading,
and I think it's really frightening. It's not just the president,
it's our vice president. It's really terrifying.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
They made for great memes and videos going around of
all the gaps during the campaign trail, but when you
realize that Putin's watching, She's watching, Kim Jong un is watching,
Iran is watching, it's really frightening to see what's happening,
and especially in a state like yours. Because President Trump
brought back manufacturing, he was bringing back energy production the
likes of which we'd never seen before, actually being a
(28:16):
net exporter of energy. All of these things that America
was being able to accomplish the Michigan was being able
to accomplish. As we move forward towards the primaries in
the midterms, is energy the number one issue that you
see that's going to be on the ballot.
Speaker 14 (28:32):
I mean, you know, two weeks ago, the number one
issue was how angry mothers are and how parents all
across the country and actually, I'm seeing all across the
world are fighting to take back their schools. And if
this fake COVID crisis gave us one thing, it gave
us a better understanding of the unbelievable shenanigans happening in
(28:54):
our public schools. And so I am grateful for that.
But yeah, you're right. Today when you have an air
work are going to fill up their car. And I
mean I personally have friends that are a wreck right
now because they can't afford to go to work. I
have an employee that is asking if she can work
at home because she can't afford to go to work.
So this is going to affect real people, and it
(29:15):
just it just further demonstrates that the Democrats are far
too radical and they have absolutely no idea what average
Americans are going through. And yeah, we've got great candidates
in Michigan and the Republican Party all across this country,
and we are going to remind people what the answer is.
We're going to remind people that President Trump was right
(29:36):
about everything.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
And you were just with President Trump at mar A
Lago at an event, really a pro Michigan, pro America event.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Can you tell us about that?
Speaker 10 (29:45):
I was great, wonderful to see him.
Speaker 14 (29:46):
He was fun, he was strong, handsome, he's lost some weight.
It was just so good to see him in person again.
And I was there with a lot of great candidates
from Michigan because he invited me to be there. And
I'm thrilled that President Trump so laser focused on Michigan.
You know, he keeps pointing out he thinks we're very
disappointing for him here, a lack of leadership that was
(30:07):
really ignoring him and the things that he needed to
have focused on when it came to election integrity. And
so we're going to flip all of that and bring
strong leaders back to Michigan, and we're going to help
President Trump.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
You've been such a champion for election integrity. How do
you feel as we're getting towards the primaries in the
general are there grassroots supporters that are signing.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Up to be poll workers? How are you all trying.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
To make sure it's free and fair because you have
a Democrat governor, a Democrat Attorney general, and your state house.
You've got your husband's great, but there's so many rhinos
in the state legislature as well.
Speaker 14 (30:41):
We have a handful of people that have been fighting
since the very beginning, and my husband is one of them.
President Trump has endorsed him to be the next Speaker
of the House, and we've got a huge incoming freshman
class in Michigan.
Speaker 10 (30:53):
So I'm excited about that.
Speaker 14 (30:54):
We have an incredible group of candidates running for governor,
thirteen of them, and all of our little warriors for
freedom and fighting for responsible elections, and I love them
because they're great messaging all across the state of Michigan.
Speaker 10 (31:10):
So I feel hopeful. I feel very hopeful.
Speaker 14 (31:13):
I know that the Democrats message is a losing message
and Republicans have the winning message.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
So true, there's so many number one issues that are
on the ballot this November. We all remember back on
the twenty twenty campaign trail when President Trump was trying
to hold these rallies and the governor would try to
shut them down where people were having to stand so
far away because it was against the law to gather
in person even when you're outside. COVID really became a
number one issue in Michigan. Do you feel as if
(31:39):
it's freeing up at all right now or are you
still stuck in twenty twenty?
Speaker 14 (31:43):
I mean politically, they know it's a disaster. They're seeing
the same polls that we're seeing. So the hypocrisy is stunning.
I mean, Gretchen Whitmer just last week was in Beverly
Hills and basically calling in to let our legislature know
that she wasn't going to pass our tax reform. You know,
the only people that she can fundraise on and with
are people from you know, liberal states like New York
(32:05):
and California.
Speaker 10 (32:06):
She's not spending any time here, I can tell you that.
But you know, we're pretty.
Speaker 14 (32:10):
Much lifted here in Michigan because it's politically the right
thing to do. If she thinks shutting us down is
the right thing for her to do, I guarantee it,
we will be shut down again.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
It's just it's so sad what she's been able to
get away with for so long. But you all have
your convention coming up too. How can people support you
and really learn about the different candidates because all the
way down ticket we have to get involved.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
We realize how important it.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Is, just based on what's happened since COVID.
Speaker 14 (32:34):
Right, Well, the next really big thing here in Michigan
is on April twenty third, and our Republican delegates will
gather and they will choose our next candidate for two
of the highest offices, Secretary of State and for attorney General.
And that was part of the reason I was at
Mara Lago. Two of the candidates that are running our
Trump endorsed Christina Caramo for secretary of State Matt Taperno
(32:56):
for attorney General. So if you're a Trump supporting conservative
and those issues are important to you, those are going
to be your candidates at convention. I can guarantee you that.
But no matter who comes out of that convention, I
am determined to fight for them. I'm going to fight
all the way until November, and we're going to win
everything back governor, attorney general, secretary of State, all the
way on down.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I mean know.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
President Trump sent a letter to the delegates too, to
tell them again to vote for the America first candidate
in that race, Matt to Perno. And we've met Christina.
She's great too. So keep us posted on your efforts.
Do you feel like your caucus and the delegates are
pretty much pro Trump in terms of a majority, and
there's just a few rhinos if you had to guess,
or can you not say.
Speaker 14 (33:34):
I feel like things are definitely going Trump's way. Like
my husband likes to say, there's a Trump train coming
down the track. He tells everybody all the time, you
better get on the train or get out of the way.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
So well, we're excited to see what's going to happen
to Michigan. We've got to save Michigan and save America.
So God bless you what you do Michean out there.
It's really exciting to see. We're looking forward to big
wins this year.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
God bless you, Natalie, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Always great to see you. And that's Michigan. How about
South Carolina? Jrew Mickchisick is up next with more on
President Trump's upcoming rally in South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
So don't go anywhere, We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
The midterms, we are all counting the days for we
know when the Democrats know what's coming. A magawave, which
actually already took Democrats by storm election night twenty twenty one,
something GOP chairwoman Ron McDaniel highlighted in a recent podcast
with President Trump, take a look.
Speaker 20 (34:48):
We had a great election night with Glen Younkin, Jason
Meiris when some seeres we won back the House of Delegates.
But you made a teller rally and you called hundreds
of thousands of Trump supporters that were not going to
turn out in that race. And we've targeted one hundred
and twenty five thousand that we've identified that were on
(35:08):
the call with you the Monday before that young Can election,
and you turn them out and you flipped Virginia. He
won by sixty seven thousand votes.
Speaker 17 (35:16):
No, we had hundreds of thousands.
Speaker 20 (35:17):
Of power of your support. Cannot be underestimated, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
And keep in mind, this epic victory happened without President
Trump even holding an in person rally.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Talk about the power of his spoken word.
Speaker 17 (35:32):
Hundreds of thousands of people went to vote. Not only
that we're in the teller rally with the teleconferencing called
teleth conference calls. They're beautiful or town halls, but hundreds
of thousands of people and those people voted, But a
lot of other people voted, and they really got out
the vote. And if you remember, his opponent was only
going against Trump, I mean.
Speaker 19 (35:53):
It was all I did.
Speaker 17 (35:54):
I think he helped to get out the vote. I
think he really made people aware. So that was a
great victory. And we have a lot of other great victories,
and I think we're going to have some of our
best victories coming up.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
The power of the Trump endorsement, the power of this movement,
his momentum is growing every day, can only mean one thing.
The Republican Party is now the party of the people,
the people who will save America.
Speaker 17 (36:17):
We had eighty seven thousand people in Texas a few
weeks ago.
Speaker 20 (36:21):
It was unbelievable.
Speaker 17 (36:21):
We had sixty three thousand people. We had an incredible
one in Alabama. We're going to different states and we're
getting bigger numbers than we've ever gotten. And the reason
is that they're angry. The people are angry at what's
gone on in the country, with the elections, with the
border with Afghanistan, with just about everything, and now Ukraine
maybe is worse than everything combined. What's happening in Ukraine
(36:44):
is a mass murder.
Speaker 19 (36:46):
Yep, it could be.
Speaker 17 (36:47):
Millions of people by the time it's finished. This is
what's going on is not even believable. We have a
country that just has lost it self esteem. I don't know,
I've never seen anything like it. People see me and
they say, please, please come back. I mean much more
so than even before the election. They've seen what happens,
(37:08):
how bad it's being run, how bad things are being managed.
And you know, our country is at stake. We are
really losing our country with what's happening, with the incompetence that.
Speaker 19 (37:20):
We all see.
Speaker 17 (37:20):
We are losing our country and we are going to
make America great again again.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Joining us now.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
The chairman of the South Carolina GOP, Drew McKissick.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Drew, You're going to.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Be speaking at the Save America rally on Saturday. How
ready is South Carolina to MAGA again?
Speaker 18 (37:40):
Well, look, I mean we're excited. I mean Donald Trump
has been responsible for just an incredible amount of the
growth that we've seen in our party here in the
last five or six years. With personally, We've got counties
in South Carolina where several years ago we didn't even
have a Republican Party organization. We didn't even have a
county chairman in a few these counties, and you know,
in the next organizational cycle after he was elected president,
(38:03):
we had fifty and sixty people showing up in these
rural counties who wanted to help form a Republican Party.
Just incredible growth. So we're excited to see him come
back talk about the things that have animated and excited
our voters and get folks to engage for November.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
We're so excited for November, and it starts with the primaries.
So many of the candidates are going to be there
on Saturday. As you've been talking to the voters out there,
how much have you seen party registration grow too? Where
independent's former Democrats are changing over in the primaries simply
because they see what's happening to the country thanks to
the Democrats.
Speaker 18 (38:38):
Well, here in South Carolina, we don't register by party,
you know, everyone just registers to vote. And then you
have the different primaries where we hold these, you know,
where people can choose what primary they want to vote in.
But the measurement that we do have that we can
track a straight ticket voting. So we're one of I
believe eight states is still allow people a straight ticket option.
(38:59):
The two sixteen election it was the first time in
history that Republicans beat Democrats in South Carolina on straight
ticket voting. We beat them by two and a half points.
In twenty eighteen, we beat them by eight and a
half points on straight ticket and in twenty twenty we
beat them by seventeen points on straight ticket voting. That
is a lot of conservative Democrats, conservative independents who maybe
(39:21):
had been splitting their ticket voting Republican for president, but
then you know Democrat further down the ballot. They've now
decided that Republicans are pushing that straight ticket option. And
it's again part of what led to those incredible one
hundred and forty year record wins that we had last time.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
That's President Trump's coattails. Really, when you see the way
that the movement has grown since twenty sixteen, people.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Are so excited. What do you think the main issue is?
Speaker 1 (39:47):
So obviously primary is going to be different than the general,
But what do you think it is? Is it energy
for South Carolina, the economy, or just everything all of
the above right now?
Speaker 18 (39:56):
Well, I mean, in a lot of ways, has been
all the above. I mean, and of course inner and
the economy are interrelated with one another. We know that,
you know, in a very real, biting way now the
average America does. But we also see energy has a
big impact obviously on our national security.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Uh.
Speaker 18 (40:11):
You know when you have the first things that he
does when he comes in the doors, closes down the
Keystone pipeline. UH tries to shut down drilling in the
Alaskan Wildlife Refuge and on public lands. UH drives up
bank loans for fracking and you know places where that's
a big industry and we can bring more oil supply.
Now we're in a situation where on the other hand,
(40:33):
he is closing the Nords or he's okay for the
nord Stream too, pipeline for the Germans, you know, to
get energy from from Russia, which are essentially weaponizing, and
that is part of what has led us to where
we are over in Europe today. That couple with our
weakness on foreign policy over in Afghanistan. Uh, you know,
weakness invites aggression. You couple that with bad energy policy
(40:54):
and the weapon that can be you know, in terms
of geopolitics, it's a bad mixture and it's put us
where we are.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
It is the Democrats, really they're making us dependent. They're
the dependent party right now, when you think about it,
that we're globally dependent on Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
And Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
The fact that we're even having to talk about things
like this, that's why people are so motivated to vote.
It's excitement, but not even excitement, because when you see
what's happening to our country, as President Trump was saying
in that interview with Ronald McDaniel, we are losing our
country right now. This is about saving America. And I
know the South Carolina you all have been really working
to secure your elections. The House just put forward to
(41:32):
bill pass to bill voter ID social security numbers. Can
you tell us about your efforts to make sure these
elections are safe and secure?
Speaker 18 (41:40):
So, first off, in twenty twenty elections, when Democrats file
the lawsuits here that they did in other states, unlick
a lot of other states, we fought back. We took
them all the way to the US Supreme Court, and
we won. We stopped them from changing election law here
in South Carolina in twenty twenty. That said, that doesn't
mean we still don't have room for our election law
here in South Carolina to be even more secure. And
(42:02):
that's what we've been doing. The state House representatives, as
you pointed out, has passed two key bills in the
last three weeks. We'd do everything from banning drop boxes,
which we've never had before, we make sure we don't
have them, to getting rid of what's known as fusion
ticket voting where Democrats will run as Democrat, Green Party,
Working Families Party, get their name on the ballot three times,
(42:23):
to providing for the last four digits of Social Security
number having to be added to a mailing absentee ballot
and make that more secure. Also require that witnesses mailing
absentee ballots have to provide their contact information, and limit
the number of ballots that you can witness to prevent
ballot harvesting, on and on. We had a list of
about twenty things that we wanted to do to make
(42:43):
our elections more secure here in South Carolina, to make it,
as they say, easy to vote but hard to cheat.
And the result was, I believe we got about eighteen
of those items in these two bills, and it's pending
in our state Senate.
Speaker 7 (42:55):
Now.
Speaker 18 (42:55):
We're confident we can get those done here in the
next couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Hopefully, and it'll be done then by the primary.
Speaker 16 (43:00):
Please should be yes, ma'am.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Oh, that's so wonderful to hear Drew. Thank you for
the work that you're doing. We're so excited for that
rally on Saturday, getting to hear you speak, getting to
your President Trump speak, and get to meet so many
of the candidates in South Carolina that are working to
save America.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
So God bless you. We'll look forward to seeing.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
You on Saturday, and again, thank you for all you're doing,
especially on election integrity.
Speaker 18 (43:21):
Thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
We'll look forward to seeing you soon.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
And still to come on the real story, the crisis
in Ukraine and the cringe were the actions of Kamala
Harris and the rest of Team Biden.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 21 (43:57):
Is the United States willing to make a specific allocation
for Ukrainian refugees and for President Judah. I wanted to
know if you think and if you asked the United
States to specifically accept more refugees.
Speaker 13 (44:14):
Okay, a friend in need is a friend indeed, Okay
this time, madam, that situation is very complex.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
This is what I was saying, cackling Kamala's cringe er
the reaction to the refugee crisis in Ukraine. This vapid,
grossly unqualified woman who holds the second highest office in
the United States finds it acceptable to laugh as two
million people flee the war in their home country. Unfortunately,
the joke is on us as Team Biden continues to
(44:55):
embarrass America on the global stage.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Of course, Kamala isn't alone.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
That comes to her egregious reaction to the plight of
the Ukrainian people. Leave it to msdnc's joy Reid to
inject racism into the fallout from the Russian invasion.
Speaker 22 (45:11):
Also care this much for refugees in those facing occupation
and war in the Middle East and Asian Africa too.
The coverage of Ukraine has revealed a pretty radical disparity
in how human Ukrainians look and feel to Western media
compared to their browner and blacker counterparts. The world is
paying attention because this is happening in Europe. If this
was happening anywhere else would we see the same outpour
(45:33):
of support and compassion.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Ried is in alone and playing the race card. The
host of CBS Mornings, Gail King, is also ranting about
how well Ukrainian refugees are being treated while illegal aliens
on our southern border are being shunned.
Speaker 23 (45:48):
And when people were coming here from Al Salvador, Honduras,
they were not welcome, they were not really well, they
were not received very well. When you talk about Syrian
and Afghania stand too, what do you think is the
difference here?
Speaker 20 (46:04):
Well, it's simple as more fear of incorporating integrating people
from different races and different religions into national life.
Speaker 10 (46:12):
Let's be honest about you.
Speaker 23 (46:13):
Look at people coming from Haiti, people coming as I said,
Al Salvador, Honduras, they were not treated this well. And
I think we all want the Ugradian people to be helped.
Everybody agrees with that, But there is enough pain to
go around here.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
Leave it to the liberals to exploit the refugee crisis
to advance the radical agenda. US climate and voy John
Kerrey claims global warming will lead to mass migration like
we've never seen before.
Speaker 5 (46:38):
We're already seeing climate refugees around the world. If you
think migration has been a problem in Europe for the
Syrian War, even from what we see now, when do
you see one hundred million people for whom the entire
food production capacity is collapsed?
Speaker 1 (46:54):
Scare tactics to promote liberal pet projects like the Green
New Deal. How typical of this administration joining us now
Vice President of America First Legal Gene Hamilton Gene. We
heard it before with our borders are the root cause
of our migration crisis? Is the climate crisis? Now, we're
all a bunch of racists. What else is now?
Speaker 24 (47:14):
What else is new? Is exactly right, It's insane. Look,
this is the byproduct of what happens when people lose
sight of what it means to be a refugee. All
of these comparisons to people coming from El Salvador from
Honduras are completely and totally irrelevant. El Salvador and Honduras
(47:37):
were not invaded by a neighboring country. They are not
active war zones. They might have criminal problems within them,
they might have gain elements within them, and they do,
and that's a problem that they have to deal with.
But that does not make someone a refugee who is
fleeing persecution on account of their race, religion, nationality, membership
(48:00):
in particular social group, or political opinion. Those are the
grounds for being determined to be a refugee under United
States law. And so what we're seeing with Ukraine also
is an example of people who are fleeing potential persecution.
They are refugees. They're leaving their country because it's a
war zone. It's exactly the kind of thing that the
(48:22):
drafters of the UN Refugee Convention had in mind when
they came up with the Refugee Convention itself and the
protocols that it attached to it. They did not envision
scenarios where people were leaving their country because of high
crime rates, because of climate change, all of these crazy things.
(48:44):
Words have meaning, and the word refuge has meaning. It
has to have relevance where it counts. It has to
have meaning where it counts, and it has to not
be used where it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (48:59):
And we did have this refugee crisis under President Trump
because we didn't have these wars. When you think of
what happened in Afghanistan with what's happening now in Ukraine,
all of this refugee crisis. We saw this during the
Obama years, but we've never seen anything like what we've
seen now under Biden over the past year.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
Because the entire.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
World is unstable, so where's everyone supposed to go?
Speaker 24 (49:22):
Well, it really is just an example of the liberal left,
just the extreme wings of the left wing Democratic Party
going to extremes, pushing agendas because they fit within the
only narratives that they understand, The only narratives that they
understand that they want to advance right now is to
(49:42):
frame everything in the lens of persecution on the basis
of race. It's all about whether the color of your skin,
So that's the prism through which they see everything. So
if it is about white people, they will always make
it seem as though people are being treated better. If
it's about anybody else, they'll find ways to make it
(50:03):
seem like people are being treated differently, but not because
of any kind of socioeconomic issues, or not because of
any kind of regional differences in the world, but solely
because of the color of their skin. And we know
that that's preposterous, it's absolutely ridiculous. The United States takes
in refugees from all across the world under the refugee
admissions program. The United States is a multi racial, multi
(50:27):
ethnic country that's never going to change. It's never going
to be a country that is all white. It's never
going to be an all black country. It's never going
to be anything. It is a country that is made
up of all kinds of different groups of people who
are supposed to be unified by a common understanding and
a common appreciation for the Constitution and our founding principles.
Those are the things that unite us and put us together.
(50:49):
But it's the people on the left who are going
to continue to find ways to drive wedges between us,
who are going to try to find ways to say
that this something is all about race when it's absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (51:00):
If America was such a racist country, why do so
many people want to come here and think they would
have a shot at the American dream to have that equality.
It's just it's such a double standard, really, when you
look at our borders are that she's all over being
a hypocrite, trying to act like she can fix other
countries when she's ruined our own.
Speaker 2 (51:15):
It's just so sad to see. But Jeane, keep up
the good work.
Speaker 1 (51:18):
We know you all are doing a lot to sue
to try to make sure our border can be safe again.
So God bless you and keep us posted on your effort.
Speaker 2 (51:24):
It's always great to talk with you.
Speaker 24 (51:26):
Thanks very much, Nailie, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (51:28):
And before we go, energy dominance, energy independence. It may
be in our past for now, but how about our future.
Speaker 3 (51:36):
When it comes to the future of America's energy needs,
we will find it, we will dream it, and we
will build it American energy.
Speaker 19 (51:46):
It will power our ships, our planes, in our cities.
American hands will.
Speaker 7 (51:51):
Bend the steel and pour the concrete that brings this
energy into our homes and that exports this incredible new
found energy all around the world.
Speaker 19 (52:04):
And the American grid will ensure that what we dream
and what we build will truly be second to none.
Speaker 7 (52:15):
We will be number one again all the way. I'm
going to make America great again. Thank you, God bless you,
and God bless America.
Speaker 19 (52:24):
Thank you, Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (52:27):
Thank you unleashing American energy. We did it once before,
and we can do it again. That is with the
right leadership, and that is a real story. Good night,
I'll see you tomorrow. So until then, as always, keep
the faith and save America.
Good evening and welcome to the real story Tonight. Victor
Davis Hansen, Jim McLaughlin, Mishun Maddick, Drew McKissick, and Gene
Hamilton will be joining us as the work to save
America continues on. But first, NATO, how strong is it
now in the face of Russia's aggression? Well, really, first,
we should take a look back as to how NATO
was before before Biden took office. As President Trump worked
(00:36):
to make NATO strong again from the earliest moments of
his presidency. For President Trump often talked about it on
the campaign trail in twenty sixteen and at his first
NATO summit in May twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Lest the lamestream media forget.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
The NATO of the future must include a great focus
on terrorism and immigration, as well as threats from Russia
and on NATO's eastern and southern borders. These grave security
concerns are the same reason that I have been very
(01:14):
very direct with Secretary of Staltenberg and members of the
Alliance in saying that NATO members must finally contribute their
fair share and meet their financial obligations. But twenty three
of the twenty eight member nations are still not paying
(01:37):
what they should be paying and what they're supposed to
be paying for their defense.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Now, the fake and krupt news media went apoplectic over
President Trump's remarks. How dare he ask our allies to
pay their fair share?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
But why the outrage?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
President Trump was really the only one fighting to bolster
NATO's defense, something NATO members at the time apparently thought
was a laughing matter.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
If all NATO members had spent just two percent of
their GDP on defense last year, we would have had
another one hundred and nineteen billion dollars for our collective
defense and for the financing of additional NATO reserves. We
(02:25):
should recognize that, with these chronic underpayments and growing threats,
even two percent of GDP is insufficient to close the
gaps in modernizing readiness and the size of forces we
have to make up for the many years lost. If
(02:48):
NATO countries made their full and complete contributions, then NATO
would be even stronger than it is today, especially from
the threat of terrorists.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
So did NATO members pay attention to any part of
President Trump's call to action? Well, President Trump made sure
they did, because he didn't just talk about NATO countries
paying their fair share. He then went on to call
them out on the money. They had no problem just
handing over to Russia.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
We have to talk about the vidions and billions of
dollars that's being paid to the country that we're supposed
to be protecting you against. You know, everybody's everybody's talking
about it all over the world.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
They'll say, well, wait a minute, we're supposed to.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Be protecting you from Russia. But why are you paying
billions of dollars to Russia for energy? Why are countries
in NATO, namely Germany, having a large percentage of the
energy needs paid you know, to Russia and taking care
of by Russia.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Why was President Trump the only one asking these questions?
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Why was he the.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Only leader demanding answers, demanding action and delivering results. As
in December twenty nineteen, President Trump not only sanctioned that
tool of corsion, Northstream two, but also congratulated the two percenters,
those NATO countries who finally join the US and paying
at least, if not more than, their fair share on defense.
As President Trump hosted a luncheon in their honor at
(04:15):
the twenty nineteen London Summit.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
These are.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Eight countries plus US plus the United States that are
fully paid. They met the goal of two percent. We
call them the two percenters. Someday we'll raise it to
three percent and four percent maybe, but right now we
have it. But these are countries that have not been delinquent.
Speaker 5 (04:36):
They've been in.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Some cases even more than two percent because they feel
so strongly about what we're doing. And that's really a
sign of respect for the United States.
Speaker 6 (04:44):
And one of the.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Gentlemen I will mention who but said, it's so important
to have the United States as a part of NATO
because of what we've done.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
In Yes, President Trump made NATO strong again, just as
he did America. What a difference America first makes something
(05:58):
the lamestream media wants to forget, but we never will.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
And that is a real story.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Joining us now with his reaction, Author and political commentator
Victor Davis Hansen. Victor, when you go back to these
speeches that President Trump gave to NATO members, NATO was
so strong. Now with Biden, it's so weak it is.
Speaker 6 (06:18):
And notice how the establishment, the bipartisan Washington establishment and
the media tell us just the opposite that Joe is
united NATO but he's united it by platitudes and rhetoric,
but not by actual action. And that's kind of typical
of Donald Trump when we look at Russian collusion and
the Alpha bank store and the steel daal say, versus
(06:38):
what he actually did to Russia. I mean, whether he
killed Russian mercenaries that he had too, he got out
of the Intermediate Missile Deal, or he uped the defense
budget by one hundred billion dollars, up NATO's budget, he
had the sanctions, he sold Jablins. People don't look at
the actual record. I'm afraid they just look at the
rhetoric and Biden in contrast, nobody's criticizing them. But he
(07:01):
begged Putin to beg more oil. That was months ago.
And then remember he asked them to put certain hackers
in touch with Putin and he said, just keep away
from these sixteen entities. That was basically green lighting the
hacking and then the Afghanistan scadadal. So he's done all
he could too, weaken to Terren's visav Russia, and yet
(07:24):
the media and the establishment considered that his rhetoric is
more important than Trump's actual achievements.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Of course, you got John Bolton going around saying Putin
was just waiting for President Trump to pull out of NATO.
But the fact is President Trump wanted all those NATO
countries to boost up their defense spending. That was trying
to increase their defense budget. This wasn't trying to break
apart NATO. America was really having to carry the entire burden.
When these NATO countries they have enough money they were
(07:51):
paying for oil from Russia.
Speaker 6 (07:54):
They do. And Trump reiterated several times that the aggregate
population of NATO was one big people and it's GDP
was about twenty times larger than Russia. So they had
the wherewithal to absolutely deter Vladimir Putin, but not if
only five or six countries are meeting their obligations. And
again Trump and Art of the Deal style talks and
(08:16):
to get attention and then he gets achievements and results.
But if you're disingenuous, you just pay attention. When he said,
you know, he was pretty tough with NATO, And according
to the Bipartisan Political Parlance Diction Protocol, you just don't
bring up uncomfortable disagreements within the alliance, and then you
let the alliance get weaker and weaker because you won't
(08:38):
talk facts, and he did, and that was considered worse
than the actual good that he did.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
NATO.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Really, when you think of the countries that started actually
meeting their fair share, and even more when you look
at the percentage of countries that started to do that,
that was something no one had ever asked for it before.
And now, of course with Biden, there no one's asking
for an increase in spending. They just want America to
again shoulder the burden, when of course Biden's pretty much
to blame for everything that's happened right now because none
(09:06):
of this would have happened if you go back to
Nordstream too, if you go back to Afghanistan, Biden's display
of weakness really enabled this.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
It did, and that's very ironic. It's almost like nemesis
or karma or payback, because now the Europeans know that
Trump is not there and there's not going to be
anybody necessarily who come to their aid in a muscular fashion,
and all of a sudden they're thinking, wow, Trump was right,
I wish we had a rearmed And now they're talking
as if a lot of countries are going to make
(09:34):
the two percent limit because they feel that the United
States is actually weakened natal to such a degree they
have no one to rely on but themselves. And yet
the media spends it as Joe Biden as the great Uniter.
But again that's been characteristic of Biden from the moment
he stepped into office. The media and the establishment closed
ranks to suggest that what he's said would be far
(09:55):
more important than what he did, and what he was
just the opposite with Trump.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
And really, when you look at NATO, now who's the
country really that's in charge? You just see you hear
different reactions in different responses from different countries. There's no unity.
Biden was supposed to bring unity. America was supposed to
be back, and yet each country is responding in very
different ways because there's nowhere united strategy.
Speaker 6 (10:18):
I think the problem is of the thirty countries, there's
two large countries, Germany with eighty million and Turkey with
about eighty four million. And Turkey is freelancing on its own.
It has very strange policies about who gets into the
Black Sea and not. It sells equipment and weapons to Ukraine,
but it also colludes with Russia. And then there's Germany
and It wasn't just that Germany didn't, as the wealthiest
(10:41):
member of NATO, meet it's two percent. It urged other
countries who were afraid of Germany not to meet them either.
And so when you look at internal poles of those
two countries, not even internal Pew international polls, both Turkey
and Germany, the public's polled anti America. In the case
of Germany, they pulled that they were more favorably inclined
(11:02):
towards Russia than the United States. That's an untenable situation
when the two largest countries by population and Turkey had
the largest military and Germany had the largest financial base,
didn't believe in the alliance, or at least their people didn't.
Both both countries did not believe. When asked their populations
did not say they believed in an Article five that
they would come to the assistance of another NATO member.
(11:24):
That was pretty clear about fifty five percent.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
And President Trump was saying this week, here you have
Germany rebuilding their military, you have Japan rebuilding their military.
What does that sound like when we talk about World
War three? You're really and you have China aligning with
Russia Iran. There really is a frightening alliance and allegiance
going on right now where the allies are split and
you don't really know what's gonna well, we know what's
going to happen next, but it's just who's going to
(11:48):
make the first move it is.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
And remember the NATO's slogan by Lord Ismy when it
started was keep Russia out of Europe. Well, Russia's into
Ukraine now, which is considered part of Europe, and to
keep the United States in And I don't think Biden
is making I guess Kamala Harris is over there, but
she's not really had any input. And keep Germany down
because of the three wars within one hundred years that
(12:12):
had occurred in Europe, and Germany now has no choice
to rearm and we don't know how that will eventually end,
but history suggests that's something we should be very careful about,
especially if it were to go nuclear, and it could
go nuclear in six weeks if it wanted to, given
its expertise. So the whole NATO mission has it's crumbling now,
and that's because of the United States leadership, and all
(12:35):
these platitudes have a shelf life, and then after when
they're not matched by deeds. People get cynical and say,
you know what, I'm going to freelance because I don't
want to hear Biden lecture about unity anymore unless he's
going to do something.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Really, it's such a disgrace when you think what President
Trump did for NATO and to think where we are
now in just over a year. It's so sad to see.
But Victor, thank you for what you're doing to really
give us that historical perspective. You hate to see history
repeat itself in even get worse because the escalation that's happened,
We've never really seen anything like it, although we can
recognize the pattern.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
So God bless you.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
We love all your articles you publish out there, so
we'll look forward to hearing from you again soon.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
Thank you for having me on again.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Always wonderful to talk with you, and still to come
on the Real Story Team Biden continues to lead from
behind when it comes to America's energy crisis.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Stay with us, we'll be back after this.

Speaker 9 (13:50):
We know, you know we have got to still reckon,
reckon with the impact of climate change, that clean energy
transition is not coming.
Speaker 10 (14:00):
It is here.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Team Biden's war on American energy. The left continues its
radical push to eliminate fossil fuels at the detriment of
the American people, as gas prices set yet another record high.
The average price for regular unleaded now stands at four
dollars and thirty two cents a gallon, up seven cents
in just the last twenty four hours and an astounding
(14:23):
one dollar and fifty cents since this time last year.
Don't be fooled by the Democrats' empty promises that they're
doing all they can to provide relief at the pump.
This is all part of their scheme to drive radical
policies like the Green New Deal to combat so called climate.
Speaker 11 (14:39):
Change, the Grand Home Plan to increase oil production in America.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
That is hilarious.
Speaker 12 (14:49):
Now average transition from their own industry.
Speaker 11 (14:51):
Yes, the rise and gas prices over the long term
makes it any even stronger case for doubling down our
investment and our focus on clean energy options.
Speaker 12 (15:00):
It should motivate us to accelerate the transition of clean energy.
Speaker 9 (15:03):
We're working through an energy transition, and the reality is
we have to take some time to get off of
oil and gas.
Speaker 13 (15:10):
So the people from rural to suburban to urban communities
can all benefit from the gas savings of driving an evy.
Speaker 11 (15:18):
What this actually justifies in President Biden's view is the
fact that we need to reduce our dependence on foreign oil,
on oil in general, and we need to look at
other ways ofss of having energy.
Speaker 10 (15:29):
We are all in the midst of a turning point.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
It should come as no surprise that the Left's war
on energy is driving prices to new highs on a
daily basis. After all, we were warned that the Democrats
were planning to attack the oil and gas industry beginning
on day one of their occupation of the White House.
Speaker 14 (15:49):
Would there be any place for fossil fuels, including coal
and fracking in a Biden administration.
Speaker 15 (15:56):
No, we would, We would work it out. We would
make sure it's a eliminated and no more subsidies for
either one of those.
Speaker 14 (16:03):
There's not enough green energy projects in far too many
oil extraction projects.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
There's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking.
Speaker 15 (16:13):
Number one, no more subsidies for fossil fil industry, no
more drilling on federal lands, no more drilling, including offshore,
no ability for the oil industry to continue to drill
period ends.
Speaker 12 (16:25):
Number one.
Speaker 8 (16:26):
We are going to have to graduate from the gas tax,
because we're going to have to graduate from gas.
Speaker 12 (16:30):
Climate change will be the center of our national security
and foreign policy.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
This radical agenda, courtesy of Team Biden, correlates directly with
his sagging approval ratings. A wopping majority of Americans sixty percent,
according to new pulling out from Rasmussen, disapprove of Sleepy
Joe's jaw performance, joining US NOW President and partner at
McLaughlin and Associates, Jim McLaughlin.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
So, Jim, as.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
You're doing polling now, do you just go to the
gas station and get one hundred percent disapproval of Joe Biden.
Speaker 16 (17:01):
It's amazing. And I love that video montage that you
just showed, And when you look at it, what it
says is these people are flat out nuts. I mean,
they're just crazy and they have no clue how the
American economy works. I remember my good friend Larry Kudlow
telling me years ago, one of the most important things
(17:23):
you need to have in a strong economy is you
have to have abundant and affordable fuel and energy sources.
And these folks because and you know what, I'm going
to go back a second, because this is important. I
remember Alexandria Cassio, Cortes's former chief of staff, saying, this
(17:43):
isn't really about the environment getting rid of these fossil fuels.
What it's really about is putting socialism on our economy.
And that's the only thing that can explain these radical,
extreme policies that are killing working class Americans. They're killing
the middle class, and they're killing small businesses because this
(18:06):
drives up the cost This is a main driver of
the inflation that we have right now.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Really, when you see it just keeps getting worse every
day you look, and the prices just keep getting higher, inflation,
gas prices. There's no end in sight, because it's not
like they're doing something about it. The American people, when
hard times come, we can usually try to get through them.
But when this is just one bad thing after another
and nobody's adjusting course at all, all we can really
think about is November, because what other hope is there
(18:33):
right now?
Speaker 16 (18:34):
Think about his energy secretary when she asked, what are
you going to do to increase our supply of oil?
Speaker 10 (18:41):
She laughed yeah.
Speaker 16 (18:43):
And these are the people. They did it from day one.
As soon as Joe Biden took the oath of office,
he walked over to the White House. He shut down
the Keystone Pipeline, which, by the way, just in itself
that put thousands of Americans out a good paying job.
Then he puts us into the crazy Paris Climate A
(19:03):
court again. Then he stops energy exploration in places like
Alaska and on federal lands, and then he brags, he
bragged repeatedly about putting oil companies out of business. So
this is what we reap right now. And the other
part is what do they do. They try to foist
blame on everybody but themselves. They're telling us at first
(19:25):
that this is transitory. Then they said it was actually
good for the economy that we had all this inflation.
Then they blamed it on big meat, they blamed it
on the big corporations, Wall Street, corporate greed, and now
it's all Vladimir Putin's fault. And these folks just don't
have a clue out there, and it's why the American
people are rejecting the Biden presidency right now.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Yea, honestly can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
All of their messaging now putin's price height, they have,
Biden puts out statements, Christian Saki does a video on
it as if they're all just going to synchronize their
messaging and it's going to change public opinion. But it's
not going to change public opinion when you look at
this Rasmus.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
And pull out.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
People want to return to energy independence. People want to
go back to President Trump's policies. They want to go
back to President Trump, frankly.
Speaker 16 (20:11):
And it's really an insult to the American people right
now because the American people remember that Donald Trump had
us with energy and independence. He had the price of
gasoline was barely over two dollars. Why, because what he
did was was common sense approaches to increasing our energy production.
(20:32):
And he knows, in addition to his tax cuts, in
addition to getting given us regulatory relief, the fact that
we were energy independence and that you know, our energy
was affordable, those were big drivers why we had the
economic growth that we did under President.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Trump and the thing we also had the clean and
stair and cleanest water. It's not as if he sacrificed
the green agenda because we are climate conservationists. When you
look at what the Republican Party has done, done what
he did with really trying to prioritize our environment but
also the economy, we can do both. We don't have
to sacrifice the economy for the sake of the environment,
which we're not even helping the environment right now because
(21:11):
we're going to Venezuela and we're going to Saudi Arabia
and Iran and of course Russia.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
What is that doing to our environment.
Speaker 16 (21:19):
It's crazy when you think about it, because just as
you said, while our environmental footprint was getting better during
the Trump years, they're going to these bad actors like
and it's bad for the environment, you know, just as
you said, places like Iran, places like Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.
But these are also our enemies. And remember when America
(21:42):
and when Europe is more reliant on oil from places
like Russia, places like the Middle East, it helps, it
helps Russia, it helps China, and it helps the terrorists,
and it's just it's it's just madness right now. It's
amazing they are doing the exact opposite of what they
(22:02):
should be doing right now to help our economy and
to make us energy independent again.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
As you're talking to people and doing your polling, do
you see Democrats starting to shift over, whether it's changing
their party affiliation or simply saying they may be Democrats,
but they're going to vote Republican just to stop this madness.
Speaker 16 (22:21):
I am seeing numbers in our polling and I'm showing
my age here where you have is Democrats are voting
for Republicans at numbers we haven't seen since going back
to nineteen ninety four in the eighties. Right now, you
have significant cohorts of Democrats right now that are telling
(22:42):
you they're going to vote for the Republicans because they
want to check in balance on the Biden administration. And
there's about right now, there's about depending upon what part
of the country, there's a good twelve to sixteen percent
of the electorate that voted for Joe Biden that are
looking to vote for the Republicans for Congress and for
the US Senate because they want to stop this radicalism.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Because it's affecting everybody when you see what's happening. They
did take President and Trump for granted. And now when
you see just how good our economy and energy was
even despite COVID, even when things were so bad during COVID,
they were better than they are right now, it's just
it's so sad to see. But Jim, thank you for
what you're doing to expose this and bring it to light.
We always look forward to talking with you, so we'll
look forward to seeing you again soon.
Speaker 16 (23:26):
Thanks Natalie, great to be here.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Always great to see you. We'll see you next week.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
And its gas prices continue to set new records every day.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Who could have predicted this?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
While President Trump, Michelle and Maddick is up next with
more on this, so stay right there.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
We'll be back after this.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
It was his last.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Rally of the twenty twenty presidential campaign in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
And what did President Trump talk about? Well, what was
and still is so important to Michigan and every state
for that matter, energy independence.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
For the first time.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
We are energy independent.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
You never heard that term before. We're energy independent. And
you know, we have very good relationships in different parts
of the world, and some we help.
Speaker 17 (24:34):
We don't have to though now we don't have to do.
Speaker 18 (24:36):
We do what we want.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
But we have some very good allies and partners that
will help them. But we don't need their oil anymore.
Speaker 19 (24:42):
We have so much oil.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
We have more oil than anybody, okay, And it's an
incredible thing that has happened over the last few years,
a lot.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Of great things.
Speaker 17 (24:52):
And you're paying what two.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Dollars a gallon for your gasoline.
Speaker 19 (24:55):
That's okay, you know what that's like.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
That's like a tax cut. That's bigger than it tax cut.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
If Biden got in, you'd be paying seven dollars, eight dollars,
nine dollars.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
Didn't this say get rid of your car. We're going
to build some more windmills, kill all the birds.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
How precient as not only are gas prices fast approaching
double digits, especially in California, but now Biden is talking
about what an enormous opportunity this is too you guessed
it or actually President Trump predicted it get rid of
your car.
Speaker 12 (25:27):
I think it presents an enormous opportunity. Enormous opportunity to
improve the health of the public overall. Number one, because
we're moving in the direction and we don't need to
propel most of what we have in the future by
with regard to oil products.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, who needs oil products when you can go green?
Speaker 2 (25:50):
What an idea for the birds?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Joining us now with her reaction, the co chair of
the Michigan Orpublican Party, Mishaan Maddick Michean, this is why
today on Twitter, Trump was right about everything was trending
even on Twitter.
Speaker 14 (26:06):
Oh my gosh, just watching that clip. I was there
that night in Grand Rapids. Oh what a night. And
can you even imagine like going back in time and
thinking about the fact that we were paying two dollars
a gallon and what our economy was like at that time.
I mean, it's like, it's heartbreaking for me to even
watch that. And you know what, Americans know that, and
(26:27):
that's what Republicans are going to do. We're going to
keep reminding them of that because we all know what
would bring relief to Michiganders and all Americans, and that
would be producing oil in our own country.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Right really, and when you see what Biden's done, of
course your own governor. They don't want us to be
energy independent. They don't want your pipeline. They want to
shut down line five. They want to shut down all
energy production. Really, because that's their ultimate goal. If they're
already talking about, we wouldn't have this problem if we
all had evs.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
That's their ultimate goal, get rid of cars.
Speaker 14 (26:59):
I mean, if you think about it, how the lunacy
that they can suggest that electric vehicles are somehow affordable
to the average American. I mean, I think the lowest
price is a sixty thousand dollars vehicle, not to mention
in a climate like Michigan. We happen to have a
friend who owns one of these cars, and he went
to work in Lansing back to Bloomfield Hills and he
(27:21):
had to go back to a meeting and because of
the temperature cold, his car was stuck and he had
to uber home from Lansing. So, you know, it's just ridiculous,
and it shows how out of touch they are. They
actually have no idea what the average of Americans are
going through. And I mean, you know, we spent a
lot of time making fun of them.
Speaker 10 (27:39):
I mean, at least I do. Today.
Speaker 14 (27:40):
Kamala Harris was like really entertaining, but at the same time,
it's actually kind of terrifying. Our leaders are not leading,
and I think it's really frightening. It's not just the president,
it's our vice president. It's really terrifying.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
They made for great memes and videos going around of
all the gaps during the campaign trail, but when you
realize that Putin's watching, She's watching, Kim Jong un is watching,
Iran is watching, it's really frightening to see what's happening,
and especially in a state like yours. Because President Trump
brought back manufacturing, he was bringing back energy production the
likes of which we'd never seen before, actually being a
(28:16):
net exporter of energy. All of these things that America
was being able to accomplish the Michigan was being able
to accomplish. As we move forward towards the primaries in
the midterms, is energy the number one issue that you
see that's going to be on the ballot.
Speaker 14 (28:32):
I mean, you know, two weeks ago, the number one
issue was how angry mothers are and how parents all
across the country and actually, I'm seeing all across the
world are fighting to take back their schools. And if
this fake COVID crisis gave us one thing, it gave
us a better understanding of the unbelievable shenanigans happening in
(28:54):
our public schools. And so I am grateful for that.
But yeah, you're right. Today when you have an air
work are going to fill up their car. And I
mean I personally have friends that are a wreck right
now because they can't afford to go to work. I
have an employee that is asking if she can work
at home because she can't afford to go to work.
So this is going to affect real people, and it
(29:15):
just it just further demonstrates that the Democrats are far
too radical and they have absolutely no idea what average
Americans are going through. And yeah, we've got great candidates
in Michigan and the Republican Party all across this country,
and we are going to remind people what the answer is.
We're going to remind people that President Trump was right
(29:36):
about everything.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
And you were just with President Trump at mar A
Lago at an event, really a pro Michigan, pro America event.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Can you tell us about that?
Speaker 10 (29:45):
I was great, wonderful to see him.
Speaker 14 (29:46):
He was fun, he was strong, handsome, he's lost some weight.
It was just so good to see him in person again.
And I was there with a lot of great candidates
from Michigan because he invited me to be there. And
I'm thrilled that President Trump so laser focused on Michigan.
You know, he keeps pointing out he thinks we're very
disappointing for him here, a lack of leadership that was
(30:07):
really ignoring him and the things that he needed to
have focused on when it came to election integrity. And
so we're going to flip all of that and bring
strong leaders back to Michigan, and we're going to help
President Trump.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
You've been such a champion for election integrity. How do
you feel as we're getting towards the primaries in the
general are there grassroots supporters that are signing.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Up to be poll workers? How are you all trying.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
To make sure it's free and fair because you have
a Democrat governor, a Democrat Attorney general, and your state house.
You've got your husband's great, but there's so many rhinos
in the state legislature as well.
Speaker 14 (30:41):
We have a handful of people that have been fighting
since the very beginning, and my husband is one of them.
President Trump has endorsed him to be the next Speaker
of the House, and we've got a huge incoming freshman
class in Michigan.
Speaker 10 (30:53):
So I'm excited about that.
Speaker 14 (30:54):
We have an incredible group of candidates running for governor,
thirteen of them, and all of our little warriors for
freedom and fighting for responsible elections, and I love them
because they're great messaging all across the state of Michigan.
Speaker 10 (31:10):
So I feel hopeful. I feel very hopeful.
Speaker 14 (31:13):
I know that the Democrats message is a losing message
and Republicans have the winning message.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
So true, there's so many number one issues that are
on the ballot this November. We all remember back on
the twenty twenty campaign trail when President Trump was trying
to hold these rallies and the governor would try to
shut them down where people were having to stand so
far away because it was against the law to gather
in person even when you're outside. COVID really became a
number one issue in Michigan. Do you feel as if
(31:39):
it's freeing up at all right now or are you
still stuck in twenty twenty?
Speaker 14 (31:43):
I mean politically, they know it's a disaster. They're seeing
the same polls that we're seeing. So the hypocrisy is stunning.
I mean, Gretchen Whitmer just last week was in Beverly
Hills and basically calling in to let our legislature know
that she wasn't going to pass our tax reform. You know,
the only people that she can fundraise on and with
are people from you know, liberal states like New York
(32:05):
and California.
Speaker 10 (32:06):
She's not spending any time here, I can tell you that.
But you know, we're pretty.
Speaker 14 (32:10):
Much lifted here in Michigan because it's politically the right
thing to do. If she thinks shutting us down is
the right thing for her to do, I guarantee it,
we will be shut down again.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
It's just it's so sad what she's been able to
get away with for so long. But you all have
your convention coming up too. How can people support you
and really learn about the different candidates because all the
way down ticket we have to get involved.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
We realize how important it.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Is, just based on what's happened since COVID.
Speaker 14 (32:34):
Right, Well, the next really big thing here in Michigan
is on April twenty third, and our Republican delegates will
gather and they will choose our next candidate for two
of the highest offices, Secretary of State and for attorney General.
And that was part of the reason I was at
Mara Lago. Two of the candidates that are running our
Trump endorsed Christina Caramo for secretary of State Matt Taperno
(32:56):
for attorney General. So if you're a Trump supporting conservative
and those issues are important to you, those are going
to be your candidates at convention. I can guarantee you that.
But no matter who comes out of that convention, I
am determined to fight for them. I'm going to fight
all the way until November, and we're going to win
everything back governor, attorney general, secretary of State, all the
way on down.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
I mean know.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
President Trump sent a letter to the delegates too, to
tell them again to vote for the America first candidate
in that race, Matt to Perno. And we've met Christina.
She's great too. So keep us posted on your efforts.
Do you feel like your caucus and the delegates are
pretty much pro Trump in terms of a majority, and
there's just a few rhinos if you had to guess,
or can you not say.
Speaker 14 (33:34):
I feel like things are definitely going Trump's way. Like
my husband likes to say, there's a Trump train coming
down the track. He tells everybody all the time, you
better get on the train or get out of the way.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
So well, we're excited to see what's going to happen
to Michigan. We've got to save Michigan and save America.
So God bless you what you do Michean out there.
It's really exciting to see. We're looking forward to big
wins this year.
Speaker 10 (33:54):
God bless you, Natalie, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Always great to see you. And that's Michigan. How about
South Carolina? Jrew Mickchisick is up next with more on
President Trump's upcoming rally in South Carolina.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
So don't go anywhere, We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
The midterms, we are all counting the days for we
know when the Democrats know what's coming. A magawave, which
actually already took Democrats by storm election night twenty twenty one,
something GOP chairwoman Ron McDaniel highlighted in a recent podcast
with President Trump, take a look.
Speaker 20 (34:48):
We had a great election night with Glen Younkin, Jason
Meiris when some seeres we won back the House of Delegates.
But you made a teller rally and you called hundreds
of thousands of Trump supporters that were not going to
turn out in that race. And we've targeted one hundred
and twenty five thousand that we've identified that were on
(35:08):
the call with you the Monday before that young Can election,
and you turn them out and you flipped Virginia. He
won by sixty seven thousand votes.
Speaker 17 (35:16):
No, we had hundreds of thousands.
Speaker 20 (35:17):
Of power of your support. Cannot be underestimated, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
And keep in mind, this epic victory happened without President
Trump even holding an in person rally.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Talk about the power of his spoken word.
Speaker 17 (35:32):
Hundreds of thousands of people went to vote. Not only
that we're in the teller rally with the teleconferencing called
teleth conference calls. They're beautiful or town halls, but hundreds
of thousands of people and those people voted, But a
lot of other people voted, and they really got out
the vote. And if you remember, his opponent was only
going against Trump, I mean.
Speaker 19 (35:53):
It was all I did.
Speaker 17 (35:54):
I think he helped to get out the vote. I
think he really made people aware. So that was a
great victory. And we have a lot of other great victories,
and I think we're going to have some of our
best victories coming up.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
The power of the Trump endorsement, the power of this movement,
his momentum is growing every day, can only mean one thing.
The Republican Party is now the party of the people,
the people who will save America.
Speaker 17 (36:17):
We had eighty seven thousand people in Texas a few
weeks ago.
Speaker 20 (36:21):
It was unbelievable.
Speaker 17 (36:21):
We had sixty three thousand people. We had an incredible
one in Alabama. We're going to different states and we're
getting bigger numbers than we've ever gotten. And the reason
is that they're angry. The people are angry at what's
gone on in the country, with the elections, with the
border with Afghanistan, with just about everything, and now Ukraine
maybe is worse than everything combined. What's happening in Ukraine
(36:44):
is a mass murder.
Speaker 19 (36:46):
Yep, it could be.
Speaker 17 (36:47):
Millions of people by the time it's finished. This is
what's going on is not even believable. We have a
country that just has lost it self esteem. I don't know,
I've never seen anything like it. People see me and
they say, please, please come back. I mean much more
so than even before the election. They've seen what happens,
(37:08):
how bad it's being run, how bad things are being managed.
And you know, our country is at stake. We are
really losing our country with what's happening, with the incompetence that.
Speaker 19 (37:20):
We all see.
Speaker 17 (37:20):
We are losing our country and we are going to
make America great again again.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Joining us now.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
The chairman of the South Carolina GOP, Drew McKissick.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Drew, You're going to.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Be speaking at the Save America rally on Saturday. How
ready is South Carolina to MAGA again?
Speaker 18 (37:40):
Well, look, I mean we're excited. I mean Donald Trump
has been responsible for just an incredible amount of the
growth that we've seen in our party here in the
last five or six years. With personally, We've got counties
in South Carolina where several years ago we didn't even
have a Republican Party organization. We didn't even have a
county chairman in a few these counties, and you know,
in the next organizational cycle after he was elected president,
(38:03):
we had fifty and sixty people showing up in these
rural counties who wanted to help form a Republican Party.
Just incredible growth. So we're excited to see him come
back talk about the things that have animated and excited
our voters and get folks to engage for November.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
We're so excited for November, and it starts with the primaries.
So many of the candidates are going to be there
on Saturday. As you've been talking to the voters out there,
how much have you seen party registration grow too? Where
independent's former Democrats are changing over in the primaries simply
because they see what's happening to the country thanks to
the Democrats.
Speaker 18 (38:38):
Well, here in South Carolina, we don't register by party,
you know, everyone just registers to vote. And then you
have the different primaries where we hold these, you know,
where people can choose what primary they want to vote in.
But the measurement that we do have that we can
track a straight ticket voting. So we're one of I
believe eight states is still allow people a straight ticket option.
(38:59):
The two sixteen election it was the first time in
history that Republicans beat Democrats in South Carolina on straight
ticket voting. We beat them by two and a half points.
In twenty eighteen, we beat them by eight and a
half points on straight ticket and in twenty twenty we
beat them by seventeen points on straight ticket voting. That
is a lot of conservative Democrats, conservative independents who maybe
(39:21):
had been splitting their ticket voting Republican for president, but
then you know Democrat further down the ballot. They've now
decided that Republicans are pushing that straight ticket option. And
it's again part of what led to those incredible one
hundred and forty year record wins that we had last time.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
That's President Trump's coattails. Really, when you see the way
that the movement has grown since twenty sixteen, people.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Are so excited. What do you think the main issue is?
Speaker 1 (39:47):
So obviously primary is going to be different than the general,
But what do you think it is? Is it energy
for South Carolina, the economy, or just everything all of
the above right now?
Speaker 18 (39:56):
Well, I mean, in a lot of ways, has been
all the above. I mean, and of course inner and
the economy are interrelated with one another. We know that,
you know, in a very real, biting way now the
average America does. But we also see energy has a
big impact obviously on our national security.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
Uh.
Speaker 18 (40:11):
You know when you have the first things that he
does when he comes in the doors, closes down the
Keystone pipeline. UH tries to shut down drilling in the
Alaskan Wildlife Refuge and on public lands. UH drives up
bank loans for fracking and you know places where that's
a big industry and we can bring more oil supply.
Now we're in a situation where on the other hand,
(40:33):
he is closing the Nords or he's okay for the
nord Stream too, pipeline for the Germans, you know, to
get energy from from Russia, which are essentially weaponizing, and
that is part of what has led us to where
we are over in Europe today. That couple with our
weakness on foreign policy over in Afghanistan. Uh, you know,
weakness invites aggression. You couple that with bad energy policy
(40:54):
and the weapon that can be you know, in terms
of geopolitics, it's a bad mixture and it's put us
where we are.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
It is the Democrats, really they're making us dependent. They're
the dependent party right now, when you think about it,
that we're globally dependent on Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
And Iran and Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
The fact that we're even having to talk about things
like this, that's why people are so motivated to vote.
It's excitement, but not even excitement, because when you see
what's happening to our country, as President Trump was saying
in that interview with Ronald McDaniel, we are losing our
country right now. This is about saving America. And I
know the South Carolina you all have been really working
to secure your elections. The House just put forward to
(41:32):
bill pass to bill voter ID social security numbers. Can
you tell us about your efforts to make sure these
elections are safe and secure?
Speaker 18 (41:40):
So, first off, in twenty twenty elections, when Democrats file
the lawsuits here that they did in other states, unlick
a lot of other states, we fought back. We took
them all the way to the US Supreme Court, and
we won. We stopped them from changing election law here
in South Carolina in twenty twenty. That said, that doesn't
mean we still don't have room for our election law
here in South Carolina to be even more secure. And
(42:02):
that's what we've been doing. The state House representatives, as
you pointed out, has passed two key bills in the
last three weeks. We'd do everything from banning drop boxes,
which we've never had before, we make sure we don't
have them, to getting rid of what's known as fusion
ticket voting where Democrats will run as Democrat, Green Party,
Working Families Party, get their name on the ballot three times,
(42:23):
to providing for the last four digits of Social Security
number having to be added to a mailing absentee ballot
and make that more secure. Also require that witnesses mailing
absentee ballots have to provide their contact information, and limit
the number of ballots that you can witness to prevent
ballot harvesting, on and on. We had a list of
about twenty things that we wanted to do to make
(42:43):
our elections more secure here in South Carolina, to make it,
as they say, easy to vote but hard to cheat.
And the result was, I believe we got about eighteen
of those items in these two bills, and it's pending
in our state Senate.
Speaker 7 (42:55):
Now.
Speaker 18 (42:55):
We're confident we can get those done here in the
next couple of weeks.
Speaker 2 (42:57):
Hopefully, and it'll be done then by the primary.
Speaker 16 (43:00):
Please should be yes, ma'am.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Oh, that's so wonderful to hear Drew. Thank you for
the work that you're doing. We're so excited for that
rally on Saturday, getting to hear you speak, getting to
your President Trump speak, and get to meet so many
of the candidates in South Carolina that are working to
save America.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
So God bless you. We'll look forward to seeing.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
You on Saturday, and again, thank you for all you're doing,
especially on election integrity.
Speaker 18 (43:21):
Thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
We'll look forward to seeing you soon.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
And still to come on the real story, the crisis
in Ukraine and the cringe were the actions of Kamala
Harris and the rest of Team Biden.
Speaker 2 (43:30):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 21 (43:57):
Is the United States willing to make a specific allocation
for Ukrainian refugees and for President Judah. I wanted to
know if you think and if you asked the United
States to specifically accept more refugees.
Speaker 13 (44:14):
Okay, a friend in need is a friend indeed, Okay
this time, madam, that situation is very complex.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
This is what I was saying, cackling Kamala's cringe er
the reaction to the refugee crisis in Ukraine. This vapid,
grossly unqualified woman who holds the second highest office in
the United States finds it acceptable to laugh as two
million people flee the war in their home country. Unfortunately,
the joke is on us as Team Biden continues to
(44:55):
embarrass America on the global stage.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Of course, Kamala isn't alone.
Speaker 1 (45:00):
That comes to her egregious reaction to the plight of
the Ukrainian people. Leave it to msdnc's joy Reid to
inject racism into the fallout from the Russian invasion.
Speaker 22 (45:11):
Also care this much for refugees in those facing occupation
and war in the Middle East and Asian Africa too.
The coverage of Ukraine has revealed a pretty radical disparity
in how human Ukrainians look and feel to Western media
compared to their browner and blacker counterparts. The world is
paying attention because this is happening in Europe. If this
was happening anywhere else would we see the same outpour
(45:33):
of support and compassion.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Ried is in alone and playing the race card. The
host of CBS Mornings, Gail King, is also ranting about
how well Ukrainian refugees are being treated while illegal aliens
on our southern border are being shunned.
Speaker 23 (45:48):
And when people were coming here from Al Salvador, Honduras,
they were not welcome, they were not really well, they
were not received very well. When you talk about Syrian
and Afghania stand too, what do you think is the
difference here?
Speaker 20 (46:04):
Well, it's simple as more fear of incorporating integrating people
from different races and different religions into national life.
Speaker 10 (46:12):
Let's be honest about you.
Speaker 23 (46:13):
Look at people coming from Haiti, people coming as I said,
Al Salvador, Honduras, they were not treated this well. And
I think we all want the Ugradian people to be helped.
Everybody agrees with that, But there is enough pain to
go around here.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
Leave it to the liberals to exploit the refugee crisis
to advance the radical agenda. US climate and voy John
Kerrey claims global warming will lead to mass migration like
we've never seen before.
Speaker 5 (46:38):
We're already seeing climate refugees around the world. If you
think migration has been a problem in Europe for the
Syrian War, even from what we see now, when do
you see one hundred million people for whom the entire
food production capacity is collapsed?
Speaker 1 (46:54):
Scare tactics to promote liberal pet projects like the Green
New Deal. How typical of this administration joining us now
Vice President of America First Legal Gene Hamilton Gene. We
heard it before with our borders are the root cause
of our migration crisis? Is the climate crisis? Now, we're
all a bunch of racists. What else is now?
Speaker 24 (47:14):
What else is new? Is exactly right, It's insane. Look,
this is the byproduct of what happens when people lose
sight of what it means to be a refugee. All
of these comparisons to people coming from El Salvador from
Honduras are completely and totally irrelevant. El Salvador and Honduras
(47:37):
were not invaded by a neighboring country. They are not
active war zones. They might have criminal problems within them,
they might have gain elements within them, and they do,
and that's a problem that they have to deal with.
But that does not make someone a refugee who is
fleeing persecution on account of their race, religion, nationality, membership
(48:00):
in particular social group, or political opinion. Those are the
grounds for being determined to be a refugee under United
States law. And so what we're seeing with Ukraine also
is an example of people who are fleeing potential persecution.
They are refugees. They're leaving their country because it's a
war zone. It's exactly the kind of thing that the
(48:22):
drafters of the UN Refugee Convention had in mind when
they came up with the Refugee Convention itself and the
protocols that it attached to it. They did not envision
scenarios where people were leaving their country because of high
crime rates, because of climate change, all of these crazy things.
(48:44):
Words have meaning, and the word refuge has meaning. It
has to have relevance where it counts. It has to
have meaning where it counts, and it has to not
be used where it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (48:59):
And we did have this refugee crisis under President Trump
because we didn't have these wars. When you think of
what happened in Afghanistan with what's happening now in Ukraine,
all of this refugee crisis. We saw this during the
Obama years, but we've never seen anything like what we've
seen now under Biden over the past year.
Speaker 2 (49:16):
Because the entire.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
World is unstable, so where's everyone supposed to go?
Speaker 24 (49:22):
Well, it really is just an example of the liberal left,
just the extreme wings of the left wing Democratic Party
going to extremes, pushing agendas because they fit within the
only narratives that they understand, The only narratives that they
understand that they want to advance right now is to
(49:42):
frame everything in the lens of persecution on the basis
of race. It's all about whether the color of your skin,
So that's the prism through which they see everything. So
if it is about white people, they will always make
it seem as though people are being treated better. If
it's about anybody else, they'll find ways to make it
(50:03):
seem like people are being treated differently, but not because
of any kind of socioeconomic issues, or not because of
any kind of regional differences in the world, but solely
because of the color of their skin. And we know
that that's preposterous, it's absolutely ridiculous. The United States takes
in refugees from all across the world under the refugee
admissions program. The United States is a multi racial, multi
(50:27):
ethnic country that's never going to change. It's never going
to be a country that is all white. It's never
going to be an all black country. It's never going
to be anything. It is a country that is made
up of all kinds of different groups of people who
are supposed to be unified by a common understanding and
a common appreciation for the Constitution and our founding principles.
Those are the things that unite us and put us together.
(50:49):
But it's the people on the left who are going
to continue to find ways to drive wedges between us,
who are going to try to find ways to say
that this something is all about race when it's absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (51:00):
If America was such a racist country, why do so
many people want to come here and think they would
have a shot at the American dream to have that equality.
It's just it's such a double standard, really, when you
look at our borders are that she's all over being
a hypocrite, trying to act like she can fix other
countries when she's ruined our own.
Speaker 2 (51:15):
It's just so sad to see. But Jeane, keep up
the good work.
Speaker 1 (51:18):
We know you all are doing a lot to sue
to try to make sure our border can be safe again.
So God bless you and keep us posted on your effort.
Speaker 2 (51:24):
It's always great to talk with you.
Speaker 24 (51:26):
Thanks very much, Nailie, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (51:28):
And before we go, energy dominance, energy independence. It may
be in our past for now, but how about our future.
Speaker 3 (51:36):
When it comes to the future of America's energy needs,
we will find it, we will dream it, and we
will build it American energy.
Speaker 19 (51:46):
It will power our ships, our planes, in our cities.
American hands will.
Speaker 7 (51:51):
Bend the steel and pour the concrete that brings this
energy into our homes and that exports this incredible new
found energy all around the world.
Speaker 19 (52:04):
And the American grid will ensure that what we dream
and what we build will truly be second to none.
Speaker 7 (52:15):
We will be number one again all the way. I'm
going to make America great again. Thank you, God bless you,
and God bless America.
Speaker 19 (52:24):
Thank you, Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (52:27):
Thank you unleashing American energy. We did it once before,
and we can do it again. That is with the
right leadership, and that is a real story. Good night,
I'll see you tomorrow. So until then, as always, keep
the faith and save America.
