Speaker 1: Who needs Democrats when Republicans now seem to be doing
Speaker 1: all the dirty work that the Democrats wanted to do
Speaker 1: from the very beginning. That's the question that many conservatives
Speaker 1: are asking themselves right now. After Democrats and Republicans joined
Speaker 1: together to pass the sixty one billion dollar Ukraine aid package.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is passed.
Speaker 1: And while it was passing, there was a flag flying
Speaker 1: on the floor of the House of Representatives, and that
Speaker 1: was not.
Speaker 2: The American flag.
Speaker 1: Democrats were passing out and waving Ukraine flax.
Speaker 2: Yes, waving Ukraine flags.
Speaker 1: Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican as you know, who is
Speaker 1: from Louisiana, delivered President Joe Biden a huge victory, a
Speaker 1: fifty no waight.
Speaker 3: Not fifty, not sixty, but sixty.
Speaker 1: One billion dollar gift over the weekend on Saturday afternoon,
Speaker 1: reversing months long pledge to never advance for an aid
Speaker 1: without first securing America's border, something he had promised. I'm
Speaker 1: going to have more about this than just a second
Speaker 1: that deals also with more lies coming from the Biden
Speaker 1: White House. But first, let me tell you about my
Speaker 1: friends at Patriot Mobile. For ten years now, Patriot Mobile
Speaker 1: has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
Speaker 3: Why would you care about that?
Speaker 1: Because Big Mobile is giving big donations right now to
Speaker 1: hardcore leftist causes organizations candidates.
Speaker 3: Those include Planned Parenthood.
Speaker 1: If you're like me and you're tired of giving your
Speaker 1: money to cooperations that are literally fighting against your family values,
Speaker 1: then switch to Patriot Mobile. When I look down at
Speaker 1: my cell phone on the top left, it says Patriot,
Speaker 1: and I know, with every text and with every phone call,
Speaker 1: I'm standing with a company that protects my values but
Speaker 1: also gives back to what I believe in. When you
Speaker 1: switch to Patriot Mobile, you're sending a message that you
Speaker 1: support free speech, You're supporting religious You're supporting and advocating
Speaker 1: and donating to protect the sanctity of life in this
Speaker 1: country because five percent of your bill every month goes
Speaker 1: back to conservative causes that you help choose to support.
Speaker 1: We're talking about causes like protecting our Second Amendment rights,
Speaker 1: for supporting our military, our veterans, are wounded warriors, and
Speaker 1: our first responder heroes, just to name a few. Is
Speaker 1: switching easy? You better believe it. You can keep your
Speaker 1: same cell phone number you have right now. Keep your
Speaker 1: same cell phone or upgrade to a new one plus.
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile also is going to give you free activation
Speaker 1: right now when you use the promo code Ben. All
Speaker 1: you got to do is call them nine to seven
Speaker 1: to two Patriot. That's nine seven to two Patriot, nine
Speaker 1: to seven two Patriot. Get rid of that woke phone
Speaker 1: company you have right now and switch to Patriot Mobile.
Speaker 1: Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile dot com
Speaker 1: slash ferguson or nine seven to two Patriot.
Speaker 3: All right now.
Speaker 1: Multiple Democrats and possibly few Republicans cheered, shouted Ukraine, Ukraine
Speaker 1: and wave those Ukrainian flags. The Ukraine Aid vote closed.
Speaker 1: Where's the money going? How much of it will actually
Speaker 1: help the people in Ukraine? How much of it's going
Speaker 1: to be embezzled by those that are corrupt in Ukraine?
Speaker 1: Probably about sixty the sixty one billion dollars that we're
Speaker 1: sending them. By the way, we don't have this money.
Speaker 1: We're having to borrow the money, so it's actually going
Speaker 1: to end up costing US probably several hundred billion dollars
Speaker 1: in interest. On top of the principal quote. It is
Speaker 1: in violation of decorum to wave flags on the floor.
Speaker 1: Johnson scored the Democrats. But did it really matter now?
Speaker 1: Of course not, because he just gave them what they wanted.
Speaker 1: The Ukraine portion of the four and Aid passed three
Speaker 1: eleven to one twelve. One Representative Republican Dan Mauser, a
Speaker 1: Republican from Pennsylvania, voted President Johnson once again violated what
Speaker 1: is referred to as the Hasset rule. Only one hundred
Speaker 1: and one Republicans voted with Johnson, while one hundred and twelve,
Speaker 1: a clear majority, opposed what Johnson was doing. House Republican
Speaker 1: members circulated a document outlining a timeline of Johnson's repeated insistence,
Speaker 1: I should say that the House would not advance a
Speaker 1: foreign aid package before securing America's southern border. That was
Speaker 1: a promise that he made that obviously was meaningless. Johnson
Speaker 1: begun publicly wavering in early March after a February the
Speaker 1: twenty eighth meeting with the White House. His reversal followed
Speaker 1: months of grooming by both the White House and the
Speaker 1: establishment Republicans. Quote, We've been working with him for months
Speaker 1: to try to get him there, one anonymous lawmaker told Politico,
Speaker 1: which said that Johnson's Ukraine bill would, quote Grant Biden,
Speaker 1: a major foreign policy victory that has eluded him for
Speaker 1: an entire year. And like I said, who needs Democrats
Speaker 1: when you've got Republicans that will do.
Speaker 2: The work that the de democrats are begging for.
Speaker 1: The White House and Intelligence State re education of Mike Johnson.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's not a joke.
Speaker 1: The White House and an intelligent State re educated Mike Johnson,
Speaker 1: they say it began before his seat warmed. According to Politico,
Speaker 1: the administration held several closed door briefings for Johnson and
Speaker 1: other lawmakers to update them on the deteriorating situation Ukraine,
Speaker 1: starting just days after Johnson became the speaker. Officials involved
Speaker 1: in those briefings included the CIA director William Burns and
Speaker 1: the National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, to let him know
Speaker 1: how important it was that we gave all this money
Speaker 1: to Ukraine. The Ukraine bill will be bundled into a
Speaker 1: larger foreign aid package that does not include border security. Johnson,
Speaker 1: by the way, held a vote on a border security
Speaker 1: bill earlier in the day, but Johnson moved that bill
Speaker 1: under suppression of the rules, which meant it required to
Speaker 1: third support to pass. It received it two fifteen to
Speaker 1: one ninety nine in opposition.
Speaker 3: Therefore it quote failed.
Speaker 1: The Senate, by the way, is expected to act on
Speaker 1: the bills very soon after receiving the bill, which of
Speaker 1: course is going to send your money to Ukraine. Now,
Speaker 1: the question that you should be asking yourself right now
Speaker 1: will hold on a second, what do the American people
Speaker 1: say about another sixty one billion in Ukraine?
Speaker 2: Aid I can take exactly what they think.
Speaker 1: Overwhelming the majority of Republicans that have been pulled have
Speaker 1: said that they do not agree with sending more money
Speaker 1: to Ukraine. Why do they do it? Because this is
Speaker 1: how the rich get richer in the well military industrial complex.
Speaker 1: And this is what you do when you go all
Speaker 1: in for Ukraine, because you've made Russia into right, the
Speaker 1: evil group that must be quote stopped. And if you
Speaker 1: don't support Ukraine funding and you question even for just
Speaker 1: a second where the money is going, let's also be clear,
Speaker 1: they then say you're supporting Vladimir Putin, and so that's
Speaker 1: how they win all of this. They tell you that
Speaker 1: you're a Russian supporter or a Vladimir Putin supporter if
Speaker 1: you don't support what they're demanding.
Speaker 2: Right now. Welcome to the world. This world that we live.
Speaker 1: In now is all about appeasing Ukraine. It is all
Speaker 1: about appeasing the left, it's all about appeasing the deep state.
Speaker 1: It's all about appeasing those that get rich, the defense contractors.
Speaker 2: And you have to understand something.
Speaker 1: The money that we give Ukraine comes right back into
Speaker 1: the defense contractors, and then we give the stuff back
Speaker 1: to Ukraine, which means they're making billions of dollars off
Speaker 1: of every single one of these bills that we.
Speaker 2: Continue to pass. That is a fact.
Speaker 1: Then what ends up going to Ukraine, we know doesn't
Speaker 1: always go to the front lines and or even to
Speaker 1: the people. That is problem number two with this, But
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to matter because it's a very simple
Speaker 1: argument they make. If you don't support Ukraine, then by
Speaker 1: default your supporting Putin.
Speaker 2: That's the whole ballgame here.
Speaker 1: In fact, GOP Representative Gonzales said this on CNN about
Speaker 1: his colleagues.
Speaker 3: Are the Republicans listen carefully, well, we.
Speaker 4: Have a real, live, actual House republic and Congressman here
Speaker 4: Tony and Zales of Texas. So you voted yes on
Speaker 4: the Foreign aid package. Do you have confidence that at
Speaker 4: this point, given that it is still possible that Marjorie
Speaker 4: Taylor Green will push to vacate to kick him out
Speaker 4: of the speaker's chair, that he can survive.
Speaker 5: He will survive. Look, the house is a rough and
Speaker 5: rowdy place, but Mike Johnson is going to be just fine.
Speaker 5: I served twenty years in the military.
Speaker 2: It's my absolute honor to be in Congress.
Speaker 5: But I served with some real scumbags. Look Matt Gates,
Speaker 5: he paid miners to have sex with them at drug parties.
Speaker 5: Bob Good endorsed my opponent a non neo Nazi. These
Speaker 5: people used to walk around with white hoods at night.
Speaker 5: Now they're walking around with white hoods in the daytime. Look,
Speaker 5: what didn't surprise me that some of these folks voted
Speaker 5: against aid to Israel? But I was encouraged to see
Speaker 5: by a nearly ten to one mark that Republicans supported
Speaker 5: our allies on the battlefield.
Speaker 4: Wow, okay, I should say that the Federal By the way.
Speaker 2: Does that sound like a real Republican to you?
Speaker 1: A real life Republican, as he describes himself as CNN
Speaker 1: describes him, says, I work with a bunch of scumbags.
Speaker 1: You would think that the enemy that this guy, this
Speaker 1: guy's enemy is actually the Republican Party, not the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: That's what it sounds like from this Republican and this
Speaker 1: is what we're up against.
Speaker 3: I go back to what I said earlier.
Speaker 1: Who needs Democrats when you've got Republicans that will do
Speaker 1: the same damn thing.
Speaker 3: And you listen to what he just said. There, I
Speaker 3: work with some real scumbags.
Speaker 1: And he goes through his highlight reel and CNN loves
Speaker 1: this guy. Why does CNN love this guy because he's
Speaker 1: a useful idiot of the Republicublican Party. He is a
Speaker 1: useful idiot of the Republican Party that they can put
Speaker 1: on TV on Sunday morning and say, we're going to
Speaker 1: have a huge audience for you, and you come on
Speaker 1: and you rip your colleagues and the Republican Party. You
Speaker 1: will be our useful idiot. And that's exactly what he
Speaker 1: just did. Let me also say this about the Ukraine
Speaker 1: funding the American people. Maybe some of them would have
Speaker 1: been in favor of this if we had a secure border,
Speaker 1: but Americans clearly said we want to secure border before
Speaker 1: we want any of this other crap. You guys are
Speaker 1: trying to make us pay for you want to know
Speaker 1: what Lindsey Graham had to say about the House sending
Speaker 1: a ninety five billion dollar four and eight package to
Speaker 1: send it in sixty plus billion of that going to
Speaker 1: Ukraine listens as a.
Speaker 6: Loan component to it. This would not have passed without
Speaker 6: Donald Trump. I want to thank the House Speaker and
Speaker 6: the King Jefferies working together in a bipartisan fashion to
Speaker 6: give weapons to you praying to buy to fight that
Speaker 6: matters to us. And President Trump has created a loan
Speaker 6: component to this package.
Speaker 3: It gives us leverage down the road.
Speaker 1: So this idea that I don't even know what to
Speaker 1: say here, there's a loan component to it. So that's
Speaker 1: how they're saying. Somehow you're gonna get paid back. This
Speaker 1: would not have passed out Donald Trump. I'm not so
Speaker 1: sure about that either. I want to think the House
Speaker 1: Speaker and the King Jeffries, the Democratic Leader working together
Speaker 1: in to Byparson fashion to give weapons Ukraine to fight
Speaker 1: a fight that matters to us. I mean this, how
Speaker 1: does this matter to us? You're not listening to the
Speaker 1: American people. The majority of the American people say no,
Speaker 1: this is not a fight that we want to be
Speaker 1: involved in. This is not an aid package that we want.
Speaker 1: This is not a is He described a loan package
Speaker 1: that the American people want. He said in President Trump
Speaker 1: has created a loan component to this package. It gives
Speaker 1: us leverage down the road. I guarantee you this loan
Speaker 1: is going to be forgiven on the road. They're going
Speaker 1: to say they can't pay it, or the default and
Speaker 1: the loan. I have no doubt in my mind that
Speaker 1: Ukraine is never going to write a big fat check
Speaker 1: to the United States of America. We're going to keep
Speaker 1: writing them checks and this will not be the last one.
Speaker 1: Based on what they're talking about. This White House also
Speaker 1: said something very clearly. This White House made it abundantly
Speaker 1: clear in their own words that we are going to
Speaker 1: give them money for however long this war takes full stop.
Speaker 1: You want to know why they said it that way,
Speaker 1: because they wanted to make it clear. And what does
Speaker 1: this say to Ukraine? With this says to Ukraine as Hey,
Speaker 1: we don't really need are Ukraine? You don't really need
Speaker 1: to win the war, you don't want to lose the war.
Speaker 1: What you want to do is probably just keep it
Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle, and then we'll keep sending you
Speaker 1: more money than you could have ever imagined. Okay, you
Speaker 1: could have that's what you're telling them. You're telling them,
Speaker 1: don't really fight this thing. Just kind of tinker back
Speaker 1: and forth, tinker back and forth, and prolong it.
Speaker 3: That's what it says.
Speaker 1: It says, prolong the war, right, just prolong this war.
Speaker 1: And if you guys will prolong this war, we're going
Speaker 1: to keep sending you money indefinitely. What does success look like?
Speaker 1: That's the question I ask, and no one could answer it.
Speaker 1: My question for the White House is a very simple question.
Speaker 1: What does success look like? Can anyone answer me what
Speaker 1: success looks like? Can anyone tell me what real success
Speaker 1: is going to look like? What is the definition of failure?
Speaker 1: Can anyone tell me what that looks like? If somebody
Speaker 1: could explain those or answer those basic questions, it would
Speaker 1: be amazing to hear that.
Speaker 3: But this is not about that, folks. And I go
Speaker 3: back to what I said earlier.
Speaker 1: Who needs Democrats or in the country when Republicans are
Speaker 1: doing all this stuff for the Democrats on their behalf.
Speaker 1: What I do know is neither parties listening to the
Speaker 1: American people because on both sides of the aisle, the
Speaker 1: majority of Americans are saying no to the funding the Ukraine.
Speaker 1: There's other things that they care about, specifically what I
Speaker 1: said earlier, what I said earlier, specifically what I said
Speaker 1: earlier is so vitally important.
Speaker 3: What I said earlier.
Speaker 1: About they were going to do this, and they don't
Speaker 1: care what you think, and they don't care about the
Speaker 1: future of this country. That don't care, and they go,
Speaker 1: oh no, there's some loans in here, so there's some
Speaker 1: loan things that will work here. So this is somehow
Speaker 1: going to be good. You want to know how much
Speaker 1: they hate you. Now, there was something else that happened
Speaker 1: this week. Biden moved to restrict new oil and gas
Speaker 1: leasing it on part of a federal petroleum reserve in Alaska.
Speaker 1: And he did it this week because the extreme environmental
Speaker 1: left said you better do it, or we're going to
Speaker 1: or we may not support you in this upcoming election.
Speaker 1: And you know what he did, said, Okay, I'll do it.
Speaker 1: You know what this means for our energy independence. While
Speaker 1: we're not sanctioning, for example, Iran, now we have let
Speaker 1: me rephrase that we have sanctions on Iran's oil we're
Speaker 1: just not enforcing them.
Speaker 2: Iran is selling billions of barrels of oil.
Speaker 1: We have a sanction that's put in place on those
Speaker 1: oil barrels, but we're not enforcing it, and they're selling
Speaker 1: it on the black market. The majority of the tankers
Speaker 1: are going to China because China desperately needs it. We
Speaker 1: have gas prices now that are three dollars plus a
Speaker 1: gallon depending on where you live. That's not helping the
Speaker 1: American people. They are struggling in this economy either. But
Speaker 1: do you think this administration gives a ratchar inn about
Speaker 1: you and what you care about? Clearly not center Sullivan
Speaker 1: on face the nation said this about Biden's new move
Speaker 1: that's going to cost you a ton more money.
Speaker 7: The president wants to have been served thirty percent of
Speaker 7: US lands as part of his climate change efforts. And
Speaker 7: he has limited oil and gas drilling in parts of
Speaker 7: the National Petroleum Reserve to protect polar bears and other things.
Speaker 7: And then he also blocked a roll road excuse me,
Speaker 7: crucial to operating a copper and zinc mine. You said
Speaker 7: this is suicidal and lawless.
Speaker 2: It was, it builds a strong words.
Speaker 3: Well, it's lawless.
Speaker 8: He doesn't have the authority to do it, and I
Speaker 8: can go into all the laws that support me on that. It's,
Speaker 8: as I say, national security suicide. Look, this president won't
Speaker 8: sanction the Iranian oil and gas regime. You may have
Speaker 8: seen Center Blumenthal and I put sent a letter of
Speaker 8: the President on Fridays and you need to do that.
Speaker 8: But he has no problem sanctioning Alaska. That this administration
Speaker 8: has issued sixty three executive orders and executive actions singularly
Speaker 8: focused on Alaska to shut our state down. Now that
Speaker 8: of course hurts my constituents, but Margaret a national resources,
Speaker 8: energy critical minerals, that's an American strength. This should concern
Speaker 8: all kinds of Americans. I'll mention one final thing I
Speaker 8: really wanted to highlight here. You know, I've been in
Speaker 8: the Senate nine years. I have never seen such a
Speaker 8: cynical and discon on this display coming out of any presidency.
Speaker 8: When this president on Friday was Secretary Holland announced that
Speaker 8: they did this because the Alaska Native the indigenous people
Speaker 8: on the North Slope of Alaska, asked them to They
Speaker 8: wanted them to these The leaders of the North Slope
Speaker 8: of Alaska were unanimous in opposition to this. They tried
Speaker 8: to meet with Secretary holland she.
Speaker 3: Wouldn't meet with them. This is a rule that focuses.
Speaker 8: On their lands where they've been living for thousands of years.
Speaker 8: And then the President says, well, I did it because
Speaker 8: the Indigenous people of Alaska wanted it.
Speaker 3: That is a lie, and I it is a lie.
Speaker 8: And go see what the Indigenous people of Alaska from
Speaker 8: that part of my state said. They're very upset and
Speaker 8: the president was canceling their voices and now stealing their voices.
Speaker 3: It was really a despicable move. Are you surprised though?
Speaker 1: Senator Selvin saying this guy not only is he part
Speaker 1: of a federal patrona reserve in Alaska and its lawlessness,
Speaker 1: but he says the President says, well, I did it
Speaker 1: because the Indigenous people wonted it.
Speaker 3: That's a lie.
Speaker 1: The Center from Alaska is telling you the President units
Speaker 1: it's America just invoked the Indigenous people of Alaska as
Speaker 1: the reason and justification for doing this. In reality, this
Speaker 1: is part of the Green New Deal. It's a religion,
Speaker 1: that's what it is. It is a religion. It is
Speaker 1: a religion, and it's a religion that the hardcore left
Speaker 1: is obsessed with and this president United States of America
Speaker 1: is doing everything it can to force you into an
Speaker 1: electric vehicle.
Speaker 3: How do you do that?
Speaker 1: You make gas prices go up, how much a lot
Speaker 1: more than they are right now. That's how you make
Speaker 1: it go up. It's really, honestly that simple. You make
Speaker 1: gas prices skyrocket, you make them go to five six
Speaker 1: seven dollars a gallon, and then people will start looking
Speaker 1: at electric vehicles and they say, that's great, because that's
Speaker 1: how we save the environment. And we go all in
Speaker 1: to save the environment. It doesn't matter how much it
Speaker 1: hurts the American people. It doesn't matter how much it
Speaker 1: hurts the American family, it doesn't matter how much it
Speaker 1: hurts minorities, it doesn't matter how much it hurts anyone.
Speaker 1: So congratulations America. You didn't get just screwed once. You
Speaker 1: got screwed twice. You got screwed on gas and oil exploration.
Speaker 1: At the same time, they said, we're also going to
Speaker 1: screw you on Ukraine funding. That is going to cost
Speaker 1: you sixty plus billion. We got to barrow the money,
Speaker 1: so it's going to cost even more than that. Democratic
Speaker 1: Center Bob Casey has come out and said this on MSNBC.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it again.
Speaker 1: Democratic Center Bob Casey, talking about how important it is
Speaker 1: that we give all this money to Ukraine, said this
Speaker 1: about the ninety five billion dollar aid package the Senate's
Speaker 1: going to take up on Tuesday.
Speaker 9: Most of these dollars are a really investment in America,
Speaker 9: in in our defense industrial base. We will be producing
Speaker 9: the weapons that the Iranians used to defeat Latimer Putin.
Speaker 9: So it's a good moment for the country. That'll be
Speaker 9: that'll be on Tuesday.
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, hold on a second.
Speaker 1: So we're lining the pockets of defense contractors with the
Speaker 1: money that we're giving to Ukraine to buy the weaponry
Speaker 1: in America. That is going to defense contractors that lobbied
Speaker 1: for this multi billion, ninety five billion dollar aid package,
Speaker 1: which was really just a ninety five billion dollar package
Speaker 1: of buying arms.
Speaker 3: And he says it's a good thing, because I want
Speaker 3: to make sure I heard that right.
Speaker 1: We will be producing the weapons that the Iranians use
Speaker 1: to defeat Vladimir Putin. So we're giving weapons to the Iranians, now,
Speaker 1: this is Democratic Center Bob Casey.
Speaker 9: We will be producing the weapons that the Iranians used
Speaker 9: to defeat Latimer Putin, so it's a good moment for
Speaker 9: the country. That'll be on Tuesday.
Speaker 1: That'll be on Tuesday, we will be producing the weapons
Speaker 1: at the Iranian Jews to deviat Vladimir Putin. Now you
Speaker 1: could say, maybe you screwed up and said the wrong
Speaker 1: thing there. I don't know, right, maybe right, Or maybe
Speaker 1: he's telling the truth. Maybe he knows something that I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe he knows something by the way, an unwell.
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton also went on a delusional rant claiming that
Speaker 1: President Trump is modeling himself after Putin and ggping and
Speaker 1: Kim Jong on to quote kill his oppression, in prison
Speaker 1: his opposition, and drive journalists and others into exile. Wait,
Speaker 1: isn't that exactly what the Democrats are literally doing right now?
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. Now I know, I have fair warning.
Speaker 1: This is Hillary Clinton's voice you're about to hear. But
Speaker 1: she is now a and this is what the left
Speaker 1: does so well, they will accuse you of doing something
Speaker 1: and it's the exact damn thing they're doing right now. Listen,
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, and I apologize for a voice, but it's
Speaker 1: important you hear it.
Speaker 10: Putin does what he would like to do. Kill his opposition,
Speaker 10: imprison his opposition, drive you know, journalists and others into exile,
Speaker 10: rule without any check or balance. That's what Trump really wants.
Speaker 10: And so we have to be very conscious of how
Speaker 10: he sees the world, because in that world, he only
Speaker 10: sees strong men leaders. He sees Putin, he sees she,
Speaker 10: he sees Kim Jong nun in North Korea. Those are
Speaker 10: the people he is modeling himself after. And we've been
Speaker 10: down this road in our you know, world history. We
Speaker 10: sure don't want to go down that again. And especially
Speaker 10: when my view, having negotiated with Putin and knowing that
Speaker 10: one of the reasons he went after me is because
Speaker 10: he knew I would you deal with him in an
Speaker 10: appropriate way?
Speaker 2: And Trump would basically do whatever he wanted.
Speaker 10: Putin does what he would like to do, kill his opposition,
Speaker 10: in prison his opposition.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is Hillary Clinton on a delusional rant claiming
Speaker 1: that President Trump was modeling himself after Putin g and
Speaker 1: Kim Jong ung to kill his opposition in prison, his opposition,
Speaker 1: drive journalists and others into exile.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry I have to I just had to ask
Speaker 3: a couple of questions here.
Speaker 1: Which party Is it that's running off of trying in
Speaker 1: prison Donald Trump? Would that be Democrats? Alvin Bragg ran
Speaker 1: on it isn't it Alvin Bragg that's raised eight hundred
Speaker 1: plus thousand dollars for re election off of going after
Speaker 1: Donald Trump? Isn't it Democrats and the state attorney general
Speaker 1: who said they're going to go after Donald Trump and tried.
Speaker 3: To take his buildings.
Speaker 1: Isn't it Democrats who have lied about Russian collusion knowing
Speaker 1: that it was actually Hillary Clinton that paid for the
Speaker 1: Steele dossier, her campaign and the Democrat National Committee that
Speaker 1: paid for the Steele dossier. Isn't it the media and
Speaker 1: the journalists, the fake journalists and the media that are
Speaker 1: driving anyone that disagrees with them into exile? Remember January
Speaker 1: the sixth, right, don't forget that. Don't forget that. And
Speaker 1: isn't it the same media that lies to you every
Speaker 1: single day about what's happening in this world.
Speaker 3: I'll give you an example. Biden campaign co chairman.
Speaker 1: Had this to say, falsely claiming that Biden is quote
Speaker 1: standing for peace and Republicans would stoke the flames of war.
Speaker 1: Remember when they said that that Donald Trump who got
Speaker 1: us into zero Wars was gonna take us into World
Speaker 1: War three? Do you remember that? Yeah, and the media
Speaker 1: talking to Governor JB. Democrat from Illinois and allowing him
Speaker 1: to put out this propaganda without questioning it.
Speaker 11: Today, when you think about the protests, it's Joe Biden
Speaker 11: that's standing for peace and a lasting piece at that.
Speaker 11: And it's the Republicans that, frankly would stoke the flames
Speaker 11: of war in the Middle East. So we did see
Speaker 11: a protest at O'Hare this week, but I think you
Speaker 11: should notice that protesters were out and about across the
Speaker 11: country and it was in Chicago where they ended that protest.
Speaker 3: Soonest. Wow. So there you go, Biden co chair.
Speaker 1: Remember President Trump delivered four years of worldwide peace is
Speaker 1: what you need to think about through strength. Then Biden
Speaker 1: took office and what happened since then total chaos and
Speaker 1: anarchy around the world. You have a full blown war
Speaker 1: between Iran and Israel. You have Hamas and Hezbolak coming
Speaker 1: after Israel. You have Russia invading Ukraine. You have what's
Speaker 1: happening now in the Middle East and Afghanistan. You have
Speaker 1: US pulling out and showing weakness in American troops being killed.
Speaker 1: But hey, everything's great. This guy is doing everything perfect.
Speaker 1: He went on to say, people understand that it's Joe
Speaker 1: Biden that stands for American values. What are Americans values
Speaker 1: in would be the follow up question that you would
Speaker 1: have thought that CNN would have asked, Right, but they're
Speaker 1: the communists news network. Biden has surrendered the US border.
Speaker 1: Is that an American value? Biden has prioritized the legal
Speaker 1: aliens over US citizens. Is that an American value? Biden
Speaker 1: has weaponized the judicial system against its top political rival,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump?
Speaker 3: Is that the American value?
Speaker 1: And he goes on TV and he says, this is
Speaker 1: American values, that he's an American values guy.
Speaker 3: No, he's not. He's a communist CNN ask any questions.
Speaker 11: No, people understand that there are really only two candidates
Speaker 11: that have a path to victory in this country and
Speaker 11: in Michigan, and of course that's Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
Speaker 11: And the challenge for people is, you know, you're you're
Speaker 11: looking at two very different sets of values. And I
Speaker 11: think people understand that it's Joe Biden that stands for
Speaker 11: American values.
Speaker 3: No he doesn't.
Speaker 1: He stands up for the illegal immigrant who aren't even Americans.
Speaker 1: Those are the values of the Biden administration to America
Speaker 1: last the rest of the world.
Speaker 3: First.
Speaker 1: NBC News, by the way, came out with a new
Speaker 1: poll job approval of recent president to the same point
Speaker 1: in their presidencies.
Speaker 3: You want to know where George Bush George H. HW.
Speaker 1: Bush was forty three percent, Clinton fifty two percent, w
Speaker 1: forty three, fifty percent, Obama forty nine, Trump forty six.
Speaker 1: Where's Biden all the way down at forty two percent
Speaker 1: forty two percent? But hey, he's got his job. NBC
Speaker 1: poll which Canada is better at handling a crisis? Trump
Speaker 1: has a four percent lead in that category. Strong record
Speaker 1: as a president Trump is seven percent lead. Competent and
Speaker 1: effective Trump a nine percent lead, and necessary mental and
Speaker 1: physical health.
Speaker 3: Trump has a nineteen percent lead.
Speaker 1: In Inflation is costing the average American family now about
Speaker 1: twenty three thousand dollars more than it costs you to
Speaker 1: live in twenty twenty. The new report coming out saying
Speaker 1: that families are now spending on average nine hundred and
Speaker 1: forty dollars more in January of twenty twenty four than
Speaker 1: they did in January of twenty twenty. The average household
Speaker 1: income per month is about six thousand dollars according to
Speaker 1: some of the latest data coming out, and what that
Speaker 1: means is, well, you're having to spend almost one thousand
Speaker 1: dollars more every month making your standard of living stay
Speaker 1: the same as it was in twenty twenty. Now, this
Speaker 1: is obviously having a big impact on our economy. It's
Speaker 1: having an impact on housing prices all right. If you
Speaker 1: look at housing costs, they have skyrocketed in this country.
Speaker 1: And we are also now seeing people are worried about
Speaker 1: their retirement because what it means is you're going to
Speaker 1: have to save more now to pay for what it's
Speaker 1: going to cost later because inflation, if it contendues on
Speaker 1: this astronomical pace. There's also something else that people are
Speaker 1: very worried about, especially those fifty and older. It is
Speaker 1: about saving enough for retirement. I want to bring in
Speaker 1: a friend of mine now to talk about this. It's
Speaker 1: Alan Johnson's a managing director of Freedom Gold.
Speaker 3: Alan. I appreciate you coming on.
Speaker 1: I want to talk specifically and I got a lot
Speaker 1: of questions for you, so I want to go.
Speaker 3: Through this right now.
Speaker 1: The strategy when it comes to retirement has to be
Speaker 1: looked at very differently than it was five years ago
Speaker 1: or even ten years ago, because it's costing so much
Speaker 1: more now to live the same what you did five
Speaker 1: years ago and especially ten years ago.
Speaker 3: Am I wrong?
Speaker 12: No, you're right?
Speaker 1: So what does that mean? And how do people's mindsets
Speaker 1: need to change? If you know that it's changing the
Speaker 1: way you're going to have to look even at retirement,
Speaker 1: or maybe even how long you're going.
Speaker 12: To have to work, you know, then I'll tell you
Speaker 12: we all know the biden Anomics is not working. It
Speaker 12: was never going to work from day one. We've got
Speaker 12: one trillion dollars in new debt every hundred days.
Speaker 1: And this is what you got to say that again,
Speaker 1: because I don't think people understand that every hundred days,
Speaker 1: our our national.
Speaker 2: Debt is going up a brillion dollars.
Speaker 1: So that's more than three trillion we're going to add
Speaker 1: the national debt this year alone.
Speaker 12: That's right. The dollar, the US dollar is in what
Speaker 12: we call a death spiral, and that's because our federal
Speaker 12: government is going deeper in the red by creating one
Speaker 12: trillion dollars in new death every hundred days.
Speaker 1: You look at that and then you see another headline
Speaker 1: that's come out. Barons has this headline from three days ago.
Speaker 1: Gold prices are rallying and here's why what to expect.
Speaker 1: The price of gold is up fifteen percent this year
Speaker 1: to a recent new high of twenty four and nine dollars,
Speaker 1: and has gained twenty two percent since the Federal Reserve
Speaker 1: began raising interest rates in March. Why is it that
Speaker 1: gold prices are going up as a federal reserve is
Speaker 1: raising interest rates.
Speaker 12: Well, I'll tell you what's happening. The market is speaking,
Speaker 12: and what it's doing is it's concluding that these currencies
Speaker 12: have a problem. So what's happening is capital is flowing
Speaker 12: into the old kind of money that's held up for
Speaker 12: thousands of years, like gold. And what that shows you
Speaker 12: is that's a vote against the dollar. When you see
Speaker 12: gold spiking like it is now, that's a big vote
Speaker 12: of no confidence in the dollar. And you know, there's
Speaker 12: no way to know how this is actually going to
Speaker 12: play out in the next few months. But I'll tell
Speaker 12: you one thing. This is terrifying the central banks because
Speaker 12: they're behaving as like aggressively buying gold and they've bought
Speaker 12: Listen to this number, one thousand tons of gold in
Speaker 12: each of the last two years.
Speaker 3: Again, who is that again that's buying that much gold?
Speaker 12: The central banks, not just you know, the central banks,
Speaker 12: all around the globe. This is happening everywhere. So they're
Speaker 12: aggressively buying gold. And they've bought about one thousand tons
Speaker 12: of gold in each of just the last two years. Well,
Speaker 12: one thousand tons is a fourth of the gold that
Speaker 12: comes out of all the gold mines in a given year,
Speaker 12: So that's a major purchase. And you know, they they
Speaker 12: don't turn around and sell it. They take it off
Speaker 12: the market. They take that gold off the market and
Speaker 12: they put it away as a reserve asset. So what's
Speaker 12: happening is the gold is effectively disappearing and this makes
Speaker 12: the market become even tighter. And this is also a
Speaker 12: part of the reason why gold is going on.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about another headline.
Speaker 1: ABC News has it this way, gold prices hit a
Speaker 1: record high.
Speaker 3: What's behind the surge?
Speaker 1: They said the price of gold has climbed seventeen percent
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, and they said that shoppers are
Speaker 1: flocking even to places like Costco to buy gold bars,
Speaker 1: and they the reason why they're doing it is they're
Speaker 1: tired of seeing their stock market and their mutual funds
Speaker 1: be their only investment, especially.
Speaker 3: As gold's doing what it's doing.
Speaker 1: So there is a scary aspect of this with people
Speaker 1: that are listening right now. You call some of these
Speaker 1: companies out there and they're like, oh, it's doomsday, put
Speaker 1: all your money in gold or put all your money
Speaker 1: in silver, and they take massive commissions. So you start
Speaker 1: up so upside down for the day you bought that.
Speaker 1: It's like highway robbery. What's the warning for that as well,
Speaker 1: because that's an important warning.
Speaker 12: Well, first of all, you know, you want to get
Speaker 12: with a reputable group like us, for instance, are what
Speaker 12: we call spreads or premiums are very low. We come
Speaker 12: in below most all everybody out there, and the reason
Speaker 12: being is we just do not charge those huge premiums.
Speaker 12: We're not, you know, putting our money into all these
Speaker 12: celebrities out there where they have to charge these huge premiums.
Speaker 12: But the reason people are scared is because, yeah, their
Speaker 12: stocks are going down, talking about black swan events, all
Speaker 12: these different things. But really what they need to know
Speaker 12: is that gold is viewed as the ideal head against
Speaker 12: this inflation, because look, inflation isn't going backwards, it's going forward.
Speaker 12: Our numbers are going to go up. And with gold,
Speaker 12: what it does is this value tends to rise when
Speaker 12: the price of goods goes up. And this is because
Speaker 12: our GREENI I call it risky fiat currency because all
Speaker 12: it is is debt. Well, what happens is it loses
Speaker 12: its purchasing power when things become more expensive. And then
Speaker 12: guess what gold tends to be priced into those currency units.
Speaker 12: And I'll tell you if you look back, say fifty
Speaker 12: years ago, gold prices have kept up with inflation and
Speaker 12: the metals purchasing power has increased, while the dollar has
Speaker 12: lost its value and its purchasing power. And I want
Speaker 12: to give you one example to your listeners. In nineteen thirty,
Speaker 12: one hundredth of an ounce of gold would buy two
Speaker 12: and a half loads of bread, and a dollar back
Speaker 12: then would buy eleven loads of bread. Now fast forward
Speaker 12: to where we are today, that same tiny, little one
Speaker 12: hundredth of an ounce of gold can buy fifteen loaves
Speaker 12: of bread. But guess what a dollar one half a
Speaker 12: loaf of bread. So what does that tell us? That
Speaker 12: means that gold has more or less case with the
Speaker 12: price of bread over that period while the dollar has eroded.
Speaker 3: It's incredible.
Speaker 1: I want people that do want to talk to you
Speaker 1: guys and to be able to connect with you and
Speaker 1: get more information. How is the best way for them
Speaker 1: to get in contact with you and get what they
Speaker 1: need to know about this?
Speaker 12: So they can call us on our toll free number.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 12: And that toll free number, I'll give it to you
Speaker 12: is yeah, if you got to get there, it's one
Speaker 12: eight eight eight for one one one eight four five.
Speaker 12: I'll give it again, it's one eight eight eight four
Speaker 12: one one one eight four five.
Speaker 1: And and and also if they want to look up
Speaker 1: and get more, you guys have a great investor's god
Speaker 1: on gold that gives you intel.
Speaker 3: And I say this because I've actually worked with you guys.
Speaker 1: You guys charge twenty to thirty percent less than other
Speaker 1: companies for the same gold, which is yeah, way less.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's incredible, especially when you're talking about investing
Speaker 1: and being a part of your portfolio. And you guys
Speaker 1: never tell people put all your money in gold, which
Speaker 1: is I think a horrific, terrible thing that happens when
Speaker 1: people take advantage of a lot of senior citizens. They'll
Speaker 1: scare them and say, oh, get all your money in gold,
Speaker 1: and they charge a mass and premium and it makes
Speaker 1: me angry. And that's why I want people to know
Speaker 1: about you. But also the website where they can read more.
Speaker 12: Where do they go, Yeah, they can go to freedom
Speaker 12: GOOLDUSA dot com. And let me just share one thing.
Speaker 12: I'm so happy to hear you say that, because I
Speaker 12: can't tell you how much enough. I say diversified, diversified, diversify.
Speaker 12: And the reason I say that is a lot of
Speaker 12: the major asset classes today, like stops, real estate, and commodities,
Speaker 12: they're all correlated, and so what they do is they
Speaker 12: move in the direction the same direction at the same time. Gold, however,
Speaker 12: is driven by a completely different set of factors, and
Speaker 12: it has a low correlation with those other assets. So,
Speaker 12: in other words, Gold's performance moves independently and may help
Speaker 12: serve as a return diversifier with a broader multi asset portfolio. So,
Speaker 12: just like you said, it aligns perfectly with the investment
Speaker 12: mantra of not putting all your eggs in one basket.
Speaker 12: What it does do is it provides you a safety
Speaker 12: net against events that may plummet the value of popular
Speaker 12: investments livestock.
Speaker 1: Give the website real quick because we're almost out of time.
