Colonel Allen West Addresses the Herschel Walker Saga
"Your take right now on the Herschel Walker situation in Georgia? I know your Friends with Herschel Walker, some conservatives, are turning their back on Herschel and what's your thought on that and how should we react to the media smear job of Herschel Walker? Well, it's good to be with you, Charlie, and it's incredible. I'm out here at your compound in Phoenix, Arizona, and you're there in Texas where I live. So obviously our plan is to pass each other in the middle of the day or tonight. Look, the thing that we have to understand is that there are two different sets of rules for the left and for conservatives. And right now, I think there was an article written in town hall dot com but I think Scott Morgan and he talked about looking beyond these attacks and these things that people are bringing out and focus on, what is the long issue? Do we want to have Raphael Warnock continue to be a senator from the state of Georgia to continue to vote along a very dangerous agenda, which undermines the morality of this country? No person out there is completely perfect. The only perfect person to walk this earth was our lord to say that Jesus Christ. So we all have our flaws. And I think that one of the things we have to start looking at is again. Let's address the issues. And the left is always good about attacking personalities and character that they believe. But I think that in the long run, if you want to talk about who's going to be best for the state of Georgia, who's going to be best as a senator, or the United States of America without a doubt is for sure.

Charlie Dissects Why Katie Hobbs Is Such a Cowardly Candidate
"Idea that Katie Hobbs is refusing to debate is actually turning into a much bigger political downside than if Katie Hobbs just went and lost in the debate. She's getting asked about it all the time. It's turned into a much bigger political liability than Katie Hobbs double and triples down on it. And everywhere she goes, people say, well, why won't you just debate her if she's such a threat to democracy, then beat her in a debate? Like, oh, I don't have time for that. And the message of not debating by saying there is no debate to be had. It's so totalitarian and fascist when you think about that. Oh yeah, I don't need to debate my opponents. I mean, just in a couple minutes when we're done here, I'm going to be heading to the University of Texas Austin, and we're going to have some debates. We're going to have some disagreement. We're going to have some spirited conversation. And we'll see if anybody actually wants to talk there will be. It's a large campus. There'll be some people that want to talk about it. I'm sure they'll want to talk about abortion. That is a huge focus for young people. And we'll have a conversation about that. We'll see we can actually talk about other issues as well, but we'll see. This idea of I'm too good to debate you. You're seeing it manifest in other races all across the country. It's really shocking to me. And it's as if they know their ideas are so indefensible, that they don't even want to show up to be able to debate.

Kari Lake Is Doing Very Well in the State of Arizona...
"Is doing very well in the state of Arizona. And I want to just brag on Kerry Lake for a minute. Kerry Lake is running one of the most unconventional campaigns, and if Carrie Lake wins, which it sure looks like she will. It will be a shock to the entire American political consultant class. The Kerry Lake has ignored advice from all the experts called experts, she does ask me anything forums where she takes questions from everybody in the audience. Who does that when you run for office, not betterman? Or Katie Hobbs. They just run to the hills and they stay away from the media. Carey like likes the media. Carey like wants the media. It's fascinating. And look, I've told Carrie a couple times. I was like, hey, maybe you should, you know, moderate on some of this stuff, and you do have to really lean in and she's like, I'm just gonna go all in. Okay, fine. And I had my doubts and not to say that it was a disagreement. I was just like, man, this is a very cavalier campaign. And it's working. You know, recent polls show that carries up, I'm sure that she's down. I'm telling you, on the ground, it looks great.

Col. Allen West: Progressive Socialism Only Advances Through Violence
"Right. And that's why we are not just in a cultural war. We're in ideological war between constitutional conservatism and progressive socialism. And progressive socialism can only advance itself through threats, coercion, intimidation, fear, and ultimately violence. And that's exactly what you saw on the campus of university of buffalo. Instead of allowing dissenting speech and had thought, they just sought to do one thing, to eradicate it. And I just got to tell you that I'll be going back to many other college and university campus because I'm not deterred, and we're going to continue to expose this. I mean, the only way to stand out, the only way to fight back is to stand up to these punks. And you know, I love it when the left tries to embrace the cause of anti bullying. They're the biggest bull. They're the biggest bullies of the bunch. Yeah, you're absolutely right. Now think about this, Mike. If one of those students had gotten too close to me and going back to the old school army training that I had and clocked one of them, what do you think would be the headlines with all of the progressive media papers? You bet. Yeah. You bet. And that's the way they are. I mean, believe me, anybody stands up to them, even getting back in their face. Pardon me for saying that they wet their pants. And I'm sick of it. They're just a bunch of entitled, you know, a lot of these kids are rich kids that live in vomiting daddy's basement and they've got a big mouth and they radical and their lunatics and Americans are

Col. Allen West Describes 'Shouting Match' at College Campus Event
"We need people who are willing to stand up, you're a black American, you've spent years serving this country. You've dedicated your life to public discourse and yet here you are trying to make the case that we are not a filthy evil racist nation, but that message was apparently shut down. Tell us about what happened to you, but in Buffalo, New York. Yeah, sure. You know, the young Americas foundation, you know, uses me to go all college and university campuses. And speak to the conservative students there and to the community and other students as well on critical topics that are happening and so I got the chance to go up to the university of buffalo and speak on race in American exceptionalism. And before I even got there, they were ripping down the posters announcing my coming and then there was also a campus wide protest march. So last week, Thursday, we show up. I knew it was going to be a hostile environment, but I was able to give the presentation, which is about 35 minutes long. And you know, I talked about my life and I tell people that who better to talk about race and the exceptionalism of America than a guy that was born 61 years ago on a blacks only hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, who became a lieutenant colonel in the United States Army when his dad was just a Corporal in World War II or the segregated army, but obviously that wasn't what these kids wanted to hear up there. These radical, these militants. And so when we moved to the question and answer portion, that's where they just really descended into a shouting match. I guess they felt that they had been so triggered that a black man would stand up before them and not toe their narrative and their line. And I just found it very interesting that you're not allowed on a college campuses to share and exchange thoughts or perspectives that there's talos only for one way.

Pedro Gonzalez on Republicans' Lack of Follow Through
"Folks, I'm talking to Pedro Gonzalez, he writes for chronicles magazine chronicles magazine dot org, you were just making a point Pedro I want to let you finish that. So it's good when Republicans react to the base and like I said in this case, parents, you have Republicans in some cases reacting to the demands of parents, which is good, but the problem is that when you don't get follow through, and so operation load star is a great example of this Abbott decided that he was going to build the wall in Texas on his own because his opponents like Don huffines and Allen west suggested that if elected, they would do that. And I mean, it's documented that Abbott never thought about this or talked about it until his opponent said they would do that. But the problem was that it was so like it was so political. It was so theatrical that when Abbott did it, it was totally haphazard and in some ways it backfired. Like in some ways, operation lone star actually made the problem of illegal immigration worse in Texas. And so what I'm getting at with these parent movements is that I hope that that's not the case. I hope that when Republicans react to parents that it's actually, it's actually going to yield some good.

Patriot Academy Founders Discuss Ronald Reagan's Inspiring Last Speech
"Of the patriot academy, Rick green, and their spokesman colonel Allen west. You just referenced Reagan's famous speech, the point du hawk speech, which he gave in Normandy, was at an 87, 86. I can't remember when he gave that before. 84. Okay, but you said, oh, I'm sorry, of course, because it was the anniversary of D-Day. Okay, but you said that you heard Reagan speak more recently and they played clips from that great speech. This was 94 and it was the last public speaker who gave on his birthday. And we're waiting on he and Margaret Thatcher to come out and they're playing those speeches on the screen. And I'm watching that speech is a 22 year old and the guy sitting next to me we brought with us from Athens, Texas, name is George McCormick. He was a bomber pilot in World War II, great American great patriot. And as I'm watching the speech, I realize I look over mister McCormick, he's bawling. I mean, literally tears running down his eyes, we're all sitting there in our tuxedos because Reagan's taking him back to those days of sacrifice. And then I realized, wait a minute, this guy is the first time in my life it's real. This guy was willing to go around the world and die. So the two generations later I could sit here and be free. So kind of like I feel when I'm sitting next to colonel west, the people that were willing to die for my freedom, how do I honor that? Well, I honor it the way Lincoln said to honor it by having an increased devotion to the cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion. So it was really that night sitting next to mister McCormick, I said, I want to become a student of freedom, want to know how we got it, how we protect it. And most importantly, how do we pass it as Alan said to the next generation? How do we make sure the torch is intact when we hand it to them and that we train them on how to be free. And so then

"P.m. investments dot com. Take a look at my girlfriend folks I'm talking to Rick green, who's the founder of patriot academy patriot academy dot com and the national spokesperson colonel Allen west, I'm excited about this. This is another one of these things that when I hear about it, I think, boy, we need more of this and I'm glad you are doing this. Now, colonel west, how did you get involved in this? When did you hear about this? Well, I got involved with Rick about 6 or 7 years ago and I spoke at one of his graduation ceremonies for the kids coming out of the patriot academy, and it was just a very touching event because you actually pass on the torture freedom to torture liberty to every one of these young people to graduate it. And that's what we have to do in America. You know, the true thing that we will be judged upon is whether or not we pass liberty on to our children and grandchildren and I think there's so many of us are failing in that aspect. You know, when you just recently saw the poll where it said that 52% of Democrats would not stand up and fight for this country if it was invaded. I go back and think about my dad's generation in World War II where you had young men that were committing suicide. If they were turned down for service to go into the United States military because they wanted to fight and they wanted to stand up against evil. So we've got a lot of work to do and I'm just really humbled and honored that Rick would allow me to be a part of this incredible program. It's honestly Eric it's a perfect match. This guy's the best spokesman on the constitution in the country and that's what people need to and that's what people need to know. They need help. We didn't ask you colonel. He said it and I'm going to agree with him. Thank you. No, seriously. Look, colonel west. You're known for that. And I want to ask you about that in a minute, but we'll continue with Rick and then I'll come back to you. But go ahead. You know, I just think it's important for us to realize that it's not just the kids that need to know. We need to know. And that's why the coach program works so well as we go in, we train these folks to do it. You don't have to know anything about history, law, government, any of that. You go in as a student with your friends and family in your living room or people at your church, you just pop the videos in, you learn from the videos, but the magic happens when the video stops because then you start having the discussion. As fellow citizens, how do we apply this in our community? You realize you're not alone. There are other people that love the country and know that we're in trouble. You realize the principal still work, and then most importantly, you realize there's something you can do about it. That's what the course does. It's called biblical citizenship in modern America. It's exploding across the country. It's free. Patriot academy dot com to get involved as a coach. And so you have trained and equipped 300,000 citizens as what constitution code known. That's 12,000 are actually coaches, 300,000 have been through it. A lot of our young people that have been through it are now serving in legislatures in Congress. A couple of our constitution graduates or Lauren boebert from Colorado Burgess Owens from Utah. So members of Congress, but also legislatures. More importantly, tons of school board members, tons of people that have gone through our courses, then turned around and run for local office and gotten elected. So those things are vitally important, the good news is we're going to have 5 million people go through this before the next presidential election. And that's going to give you if I were a tyrant, I'd be shaking in my boots. Thank God, I'm not a tyrant. But when I hear this. Well, I've heard different. I think, yeah, well, you don't listen to those people. But remind me to crush them. No, but seriously, when I hear I heard it was benevolent. When I hear about folks like the two of you doing what you're doing, it really does give me hope because we're in a we're in desperate straits and at the same time, many people are waking up. I mean, that's what.

Col. Allen West and Rick Green Tell Us About the Patriot Academy
"It? When did the patriot academy start and how does it function? How can people get involved? Patriot academy dot com to learn more, but we started at 20 years ago in Texas at the Texas capitol, and then we started spreading across the country and hosting other capitals. And then when we created the constitution coach program, that's for anybody anywhere. You don't have to have any background in this. And Eric, these are the only constitution classes known to mankind where you will actually stay awake. And finish the class, all right? That you're setting a high bar. Yes, it is. You say awake. Come on. Throughout this entire class. Well, I'll tell you something. And I confess these things because I just think we should. But it wasn't until not even ten years ago. I wrote a book called, if you can keep it, which comes from the words of Benjamin Franklin, exiting the constitutional convention. And for the first time in my life, I was ashamed, and I am still ashamed that it took so long that I finally understood some things about how our glorious system of self government and liberty works. And the bigger takeaway for me was that if I had missed this generally speaking over the decades, it means that everyone my age and younger almost everyone has missed this. This used to be part and parcel of an American education. You could not get a high school diploma if you didn't get this stuff. This was the most basic thing, and that has, since the 60s effectively evaporated, which is why I wrote my book and I wrote it hopefully for young people, not just for all adults, but specifically for younger people, but they're all kinds of folks like you working along similar lines because it seems to me you understand what I finally understood that if you have a citizenry that doesn't get this, America is over. No, you're absolutely right. You're absolutely right, Eric, and I think that's the whole purpose here. You said American education. We don't have an American education. We have a cultural Marxist indoctrination that is happening in our school system. I mean, the left started out at college and university campuses. Now's in high school and now is down to middle school and they're trying to get it down into elementary school. And so what we have to do is start retaking that back in our homes in our communities and our churches even. And I think that's what the whole purpose is with the patriot academy is to specifically look at our young people 16 to 25, but then also we have this constitutional coach program where we have 12,000 of these constitutional coaches across the country because we have got to get people more engaged and more involved.

Hey folks, I've got to tell you a secret about relief factor that the father son owners Pete and Seth Talbot have never made a big deal about, but I think it is a big deal. I really do. They sell the three week quick start pack for just 1995 to anyone struggling from pain like neck shoulder back hip or knee pain, 1995, about a dollar a day, but what they haven't broadcasted much is that every time they sell a three week quick start, they lose money. In fact, they don't even break even until about four to 5 months after if you keep ordering it. Friends, that's huge. People don't keep ordering relief factor month after month. If it doesn't work. So yes, Pete and Seth are literally on a mission to help as many people as possible deal with their pain. They really do put their money where their mouths are. So if you're in pain from exercise or even just getting older or to the three week quick start for 1995, let's see if we can get you at a pain too. Go to relief factor dot com.

When you're at the NRB, you get to talk to all kinds of interesting people because they are here also. For example, for example, I am sitting right now next to two people that I'm excited to speak with. One of them you may know. Colonel Allen west is sitting here and then somebody, I don't know if you know, but his name is Rick green. He is the founder of the patriot academy gentleman welcome. Good to be with you. Now you're gonna have to speak into the microphone because it's really a radio program technically. Okay, so I know Rick, you're the founder of the patriot academies. I want to hear what that is. And then I want to know colonel west, how are you related to the patriot academy because you have some involvement? Yes, I do. I have had previous involvement with patriot academy and now Rick has officially asked me to come on as a national spokesperson and a senior adviser to what they're doing there because I think it is so important that we get constitutional education back out there for our young people and also for adults, especially with our military veterans. And then also the biblical view of the constitution has to once again be reestablished in our judeo Christian faith heritage republic. Well, I can understand why you want him to be your spokesman. He knows a little bit about this. Just a little bit. You can't stump the guy. I've been there with him in front of crowds and whatever you ask him about the constitution he's got an answer, and that's what we need. We need to know the truth behind what the constitution was actually intended to do, not what the court has turned it into. And we've been doing this since I was a legislator 20 years ago in Texas out of frustration with the fact that most people don't understand liberty and the principles that produce liberty. We started patriot academy to teach young people and raise up a new generation, so we do it in state capitals across the country, 16 to 25 year olds come in. They live the life of a legislator. We teach them biblical worldview and constitutional governance. And then it turned into a constitution coach program. So now Eric, we've got 12,000 constitution coaches out there hosting classes in their homes at their churches, all throughout their community, they're firing up people, they're getting them engaged. They're teaching them the greatness of America and how to restore those principles. And then we're going on actual action steps..

Allen West: We Need to Reassert the 10th Amendment
"And this is what governors are supposed to do They're more focused on what goes on within the state than what goes on without the state I don't mean to the exclusion of it But this is really the difference in many ways between a senator and a governor governor is the chief executive of the state And he has power under the state constitution and power under the federal constitution that needs to be exercised to protect the citizens of his state That's your view right That's absolutely the view and the other thing and we've got to do we've got to reassert the Tenth Amendment because when you look at the constitution article one section 8 there are 18 things is really fall upon the jurisdiction of the duties and responsibilities of the federal government And the Tenth Amendment says all of those powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved to the station to the people And that's what federalism is all about And we have completely lost that understanding of federalism so that we got a federal government that is up there handing out edicts orders mandates and decrees which are not law They get they're trying to force the states to follow it And so we need to answer two constitutional nullification to push back and say no you're not going to mandate people to get vaccines No you're not going to shut down an oil and gas industry And that's what I seek to be is a strong governor that is going to be rooted in the constitution and reassert the Tenth Amendment

So in the course of the last year, you not only had this issue of CSI where it came up, and I was able to explain slavery, but we also dealt with the George Floyd issue and race in America. And I find it kind of ironic often that people who consider themselves believers but are very left to center on most of their beliefs. Complaining all the time about racism and what's going on and how we should be doing so much more. And I often will ask them, well, what have you done recently? I mean, you marched in a BLM rally at one point. That was probably before you understood that Black Lives Matter is committed to destroying the black family. Whatever you think your activism is, what are you tangibly doing to make a difference in the life of somebody who looks completely different than you? It's one thing for you to say that to me to kind of push me in the face with it. But what are you doing? And they'll say, well, you know, I'm doing this for that. What are you doing? And that's a doorway where I get to open it up and say, let me tell you about something that can be done and that we can all do to get there. And I talked to them about slavery. I talked to them about student. I talk about how that was essentially a view towards superiority of faiths and you had the Arab north persecuting the Christian south. And when you kind of peel back the layers, all of a sudden, it's another opportunity to say if it's one thing to say you want to change the world and make a difference and leave this world with different and better plays. It's another thing to put your money and your activism and your passion and your heart into doing something that actually does that. And Eric, when we take a slave from a slave master in north Sudan, and we've returned her to her home in South Sudan. She knows from death to life. She goes from an existence where she has been cursed at, abused, raped, assaulted, usually physically have pieces of her body cut on, et cetera and you move her from that environment into a place where she is longed for mist, remembered, and when she comes home, if we think the prodigal son story in the Bible is exciting, wait till you see what a slave coming home to South Sudan looks like because they throw a party that goes on for a week because their lost soul, they're lost friends, sister, neighbor daughter, is home again. And so it's not just an issue of creating equality amongst people that look different. It is an issue of helping those who are in death to.

"The code Eric. It's the most wonderful time folks welcome back. I'm talking to Kevin McCullough, AKA votes Jerome. And Kevin, you are really not only bright, but just tremendously well informed on all these issues. And I always learn things when I talk to you. And I hate learning. I just want to let you know, I hate it. But when I talk to you, I learn stuff and I'm really grateful to you. But I got to tell you, I'm also grateful to you for partnering with us in partnering with CSI and I wanted to talk to you about that. This is Christmas season. People want to do, no, what do I do with my money? What do I get so and so? I keep suggesting to people, you can not beat this. The idea that if you give money to CSI, go to metaxas talk dot com, you can help free a slave literally. This is a nightmare evil that's happening today. We can actually do something about it. Tell us because you know more about CSI and about these efforts than I do. You've been more involved. I want to encourage people today to go to my taxes talk dot com and I'll get the phone number, but this is like an amazing opportunity. It's an absolutely it doesn't matter if you give $10 or $20 or a $100 or whatever you give. This is an amazing opportunity. It's almost unbelievable that this evil exists. And it's almost equally unbelievable that we can actually do something about this evil with our dollars. I think you can't overstate what you just said, Eric, and that is that the evil of slavery is still being around is so abhorrent to the average person's way of thinking that they have a difficulty understanding that it does. They have a greater they have a greater difficulty understanding that there are more people who enslaved today than they've ever been in human history. Especially given the posts to abolition movements of Europe and the Americas and where we've gone with all that. But in between sex slavery and chattel slavery across the world, you've got millions literally that are living subservient class cast lives that are not of their own decision. They're not of their own determination. And in Sudan, in particular, where the world came in and when the Sudanese were having their Civil War and you had the Arabic Islamic jihadist north and you had the Christian south, you had the Arabs frequently going into the south ransacking villages taking people as property and removing them and taking them back to their homes for slave work in the north. When you understand that when the world came in and divided those two countries and said, okay, you get this area. You get that area, but didn't do anything about the slaves. And at the time, there were probably a 130 to a 160,000 people in captive slavery in northern Sudan at that moment. You kind of understand that the world missed a very important piece of that puzzle. Now, over the last 15 years, CSI, through the diligent work and partnership with people like your listeners, have said, well, we can do something about this. And so similar to the reconstruction era or just the area, just the era, just following the Civil War and proceeding it. You had, in essence, what were called retrievers, people that would go into the south scout out slaves and try to get them through The Underground Railroad to the north to freedom and to be able to provide for them a new life a different life. In Sudan, they've had the same thing. There are a handful of Arabs that work with CSI. They personally want a good relationship with the Christians in South Sudan. They are motivated to help CSI find these slaves and get them home so that they can live safely and well. And CSI, through partnering with your listeners, for only $250, says we can give them a brand new life. The majority of that $250 is not used for the liberation. The majority of that is used for the establishing of what that slave needs when they come back to freedom in South Sudan. So whether it be a goat to produce milk and food and commerce, whether it be tarps to live with to protect from the weather elements, whether it's gardening tools or cooking utensils, et cetera, a $250 package basically is called a bag of hope, and that's what that person gets when CSI has fully retrieved them from slavery. And I want to you said give ten 20, et cetera. I want people to think differently about this. Not the amount of dollars that they spend. But the amount of lives they want to impact. Because if you can give $20 once, could you give $25 ten times? If you can give $50 right now, could you give it over the next 5 months? And rescue a slave as well. Or are you of the income level where you could take $250? Make a sacrifice in your monthly budget and say, okay, our family is going to every month for the next ten to 12 months liberate a slave. Now, Eric, you know that I'm not a very wealthy person, but my family and I came to this decision a year ago and we said, you know what? The boys were hearing me talk about CSI on the radio. They were very concerned about slavery and they said, dad, what can we do? And I said, well, we could sacrifice and give and liberate a slave every month. So the McCulloch have said for the last 12 months, we will liberate a life every single month as God provides for us as a family. And you know what? He's done that. So if people are listening and they say, well, I want to be a part of something amazing that God's doing. Put yourself forward and say, God, if this is what you're calling me to, I know that you'll provide, I want to be obedient. And I want to give and liberate a slave right now. It is very difficult to believe that this evil is happening. And we really want to push it away because it's too horrifying. But again, folks, it is amazing news that we can do something about it that you can do something about it. So there are people who could give $10,000, there are people that could give $2500. But it really doesn't matter folks. Whatever you're able to do, this is an insane opportunity. I want to give out the phone number because there are people that prefer the call. But just go to my taxes talk dot com. Everything is there. The idea of giving monthly, by the way, is brilliant. Thank you for mentioning that. Kevin, because that's just beautiful. And I think families should get involved in this with their kids. I didn't even challenge you. Talk to your kids about it and see if they don't have the same response my kids do. Kids know kind of inherently when something is unjust. And if your kids do respond, then be ready to say, okay, let's as a family attack this problem and do something about it. All.

"On that. Yeah, without a doubt, I think that when you look at, especially the urban population centers, the lack of good quality education, the public schools are run by the teachers unions is not being run by the parents. As a matter of fact, we saw Virginia where the candidate, the democratic candidate for governor there, Terry McCauley said the parents don't have the right to make a choice or decision about what their kids are being taught. And that's why you saw that issue, education, go to forefront. When you have people that believe that the history of America started in 1619 when the first slave ship landed instead of July the fourth of 1776, we're not teaching. They're not teaching. They don't want us to know our fundamental liberties and rights. They don't want us to know about what the Declaration of Independence says. They don't want us to study the constitution. They don't want us to understand civics. And so through this education process, we've got to get back to teaching that, which is true and right about America. Good, bad, and the ugly. You know, one of the things that here in Texas, the Republican Party of Texas was founded on Independence Day of 1867 by a 150 black men in Houston, Texas. A lot of people don't know that to include a lot of Republicans don't know that. And so that knowledge is power and that's what the left is trying to suppress, revise, or even erase. Well, it's an uphill battle, but we're finally waging the battle. We're finally fighting the battle. And it's thanks to folks like you really that I have hope. I really do. I think that, you know, it's a funny thing that Greg Abbott is just squishy enough that you think, listen, we can't do this anymore. We need everyone needs to stand strong. If Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott can't stand strong, we're lost because we do look the nation looks to Texas. This whole nation, as you have said many times, and so I know that you feel like you're in a battle, not just for Texas, but for the country. We just got 30 seconds, but touch on that if you would. So you're absolutely right. So goes to Texas, America, so goes America, so goes to free world. And so therefore, so goes, Texas so goes America and I wrote a book about that called whole Texas hold the nation. And I think that a lot of people starting to see a controversial. It is intentional. It is purposeful with the Biden administration has done on constitutionally implementing an open borders agenda to flood illegals here at the board of Texas, which is close to 1300 miles long. We're going to have to leave it there. We will have you back lieutenant colonel Allen west, God bless you. Copy with you also Eric. Thank you. When I end up man with a gun in his hand and he was looking for you folks Eric metaxas here, somebody just handed me a piece of paper with insane information on it. But I know it's true because the other day I literally got a phone call from Mike lindell telling me Eric, you gotta check out and he then he tells me about this towel special, right? And he says you've got to tell your audience, okay, so here's the special. 39.99 if you use the code Eric, normally $109 and 99 cents. We're talking about the towels that work.

In case you haven't been paying attention, the Biden administration has caused a financial crisis and they have no clue how to fix it. Oil prices have skyrocketed and when oil prices go up the cost of transportation and shipping spikes leading the prices of goods to rise. And when we're already seeing record inflation that's the last thing we need, our economy is in trouble and you need to take steps to protect yourself. If all your money is tied up in stocks, bonds and traditional markets, you are vulnerable. Gold is one of the best ways to protect your retirement. No matter what happens, you own your goal, it is real, it is physical. It's always been valuable since the dawn of time, legacy precious metals is the company I trust for investing in gold.

Cooks, welcome back in a few minutes, I'm gonna be talking to Kevin McCullough or dear friend Kevin McCullough and right now though, we still have a few minutes left with lieutenant colonel Allen west running for governor of Texas. You said a moment ago that we're in ideological battle. I talk about this all the time. Many people don't want to think that that's true. They want to think we can just go along. But the marxists have dramatically overreached because of COVID because of many things they have had an opportunity to really crush liberty in America in a way that we have never ever seen. And we have to fight it and I know you're a fighter and you see this. If you were governor by God's grace of Texas, how do you see being able to fight in this battle? Because it's not a battle with guns. No, well, first of all, you have to understand that the left does not believe in the rule of law. They believe in the rule of certain entities, those entities are academia, the media, the courts, and then also they believe in model rule and the amount of that you have out there. And what we have to come to understand, Eric, that is that this is less about Republican and Democrat R and D after name or really starting to mean less and less. It has to do with how does an individual see the relationship of an individual citizen to the institution of government? Because that's the difference. Constitutional conservatism, which is really classical liberalism, if you study John Locke and natural arts theory, life liberty and property is all about the individual, their rights, their freedoms, their liberty, their sovereign, because they're enabling rights as Thomas Jefferson wrote come from a sovereign God. But what do progressive socialist Marxist communists or as Mark Levin calls them status? What do they believe? They believe in the parameters of the institution of government over the individual. And that's the fact that we have to have right here in Texas and all across the country. Give you a case in point. When governor Abbott decides that he's going to say who or what is essential, that certain businesses can stay open and other businesses have to close. That's not an enumerated power that he has. Benjamin Franklin once said the those who would surrender essential liberty for temporary security and the end deserve neither liberty nor security. So we have got to have this discussion about liberty once again. You can't have so much stepping up to a podium in The White House saying that I'm mandating that you have to get this certain thing and check into your body, edicts, orders, mandates, and decrees. That's how you rule over people. If you want to govern this through the legislative process, it's by the rule of law. Well, I really woke up to this just a few years ago. I wrote a book called if you can keep it. Those are the words of Benjamin Franklin. That's right. I really understood how because we have not been teaching really the founders vision of what America is and why we need to be proud to be Americans and love this nation because that's been waning to the point of nonexistence over the decades of our lifetime. We now have a citizenry that is easily fooled easily lied to easily swayed because we are no longer no longer have the muscles of liberty that we need to exercise. And that's I think why we're in the battle we're in right now because there are many Americans they don't understand this. They don't understand that I ought to be proud to be an American that that has nothing to do with jingoistic chest beating or white nationalism or Christian nationalism. It has to do with liberty for all, to me, one of the major battle zones is the public schools. Yes. And you talked about the school choice. Maybe you can touch.

"You're talking about is absolutely correct. We've got the staff or something, or else we're going to continue to file for every single thing that they bring up. And if we don't start to show backbone, if we don't start to show courage in the face of this crisis and what they're trying to do, which is they're the number one enemies of this democracy that they're trying to say that everybody else is. They're the ones that don't want to have a picture ID to vote. They're the ones that are instituting a philosophy of governess that is antithetical to the constitution of the United States of America. And so there comes to be a time we need people to stand up and say those things. But I think Marcus tullius Cicero, the great Roman statesman, he kind of referred to this as the arrogance of officialdom. And so you have these elected officials that believe that they're untouchable. And they may say one thing to appease the constituents, but in truth and in their heart, they just want to be a part of that club up there in Washington D.C. and I tell you being down here in Texas, a lot of people are furious with what senator task Cruz said yesterday. Well, there's no doubt about it. And I think that, you know, it's very tempting if you're in that world, you know, to play to the gallery, so to speak. But because of the age in which we live, it's not working. And when you make a comment like that, it goes out to the country and people feel betrayed. And I think that when we think of what actually happened in terms of violence across cities last year, when we think of people being shot scalise and others, it's just extraordinary that whatever it is that happened on January 6th, if we're able to get to the bottom of it, that this would be puffed up into some kind of to the idea that this was some kind of an insurrection. And I'm thinking, if this was an insurrection, then senators should have been killed or any senators killed where they shot was the vice president stabbed. Oh, no. Well, then it seems to me that this is the most pathetic excuse for an international I've ever heard in my life. It's monumentally pathetic, and yet the people on the left and of course many national review and others have somehow felt the need to go along with the narrative. It's unfathomable to me. It is totally uncomfortable and you think about you're right. If this was an insurrection without a doubt, it goes down with the grade of enough. It was the most poorly planned and executed insurrection, because first and foremost, no one had any weapons. No one had it in their arms. The only people that had the weapons in their arms were the capitol police officers. The only people that died on that day in around or near the capital was Ashley babbitt. But yet the person that shot her, nothing has happened to that individual. So this was a riot. There's no doubt about it. It was a protest. There's no doubt about it. But when you compare it to the violence of the left and what you have seen them do out in the streets and remember, in 2020, you had three Donald Trump supporters that were murdered, shot. One of Portland Oregon won a Denver Colorado and a black man, and Milwaukee Wisconsin. Never heard anything from the left about that. It's just astonishing. And of course, we have no idea how many of the people involved in what happened on January 6th were FBI were people who were part of some kind of a sting operation. We know what happened with governor Whitmer in Michigan. We have a history of a CIA and an FBI doing the most nefarious things, messing with the narrative and then kind of stepping back and acting as though, well, we didn't have anything to do with it. It's just, it's insulting to the American people. We'll be.

How the Left Is Using January 6th to Destroy Constitutional Conservatism with Lt. Col. Allen West
"I want to ask you about January 6th. I've been really sick and to see how even many on the conservative side have bought into the just ridiculous narrative of January 6th. I can't tell you how many people I know who were there that day. And you just, the way they have been demonized, to me, it's an absolute attack on America and on patriots in America. And it's very ugly. So I just wanted to know if you had anything you wanted to share on that. Well, sure, absolutely. It goes back to what rahm Emanuel said never let a good crisis go to waste. And so what the progressive socialists left is done is they're using this to try to demonize denigrate and actually destroy constitutional conservatism. And anyone that stands up for it in the United States of America, the fact that we have Americas that have been held for almost well over a year now, no trial, no charges being brought against them, but held a solitary confinement for what. But yet, we saw an entire year almost in 2020 when leftist marxists anarchists by the name of antifa and even Black Lives Matter got out into the streets. They destroyed federal buildings. They burned out businesses. They attacked police officers, David dorn, and St. Louis was killed. That's one of the people that we remember. But yet none of them were put in jail. None of them were brought up on a charge. None of them were arrested as a matter of fact. The sitting vice president of the United States of America was enabling and raising money for many of them to be released on bail. So I believe that you have to have one standard. That one standard in America is the rule of law. But yet for the progressive socialists left, they believe that they're above the law. And now we have a bifurcated system.

"Get positive here. You sir. You're running for governor in Texas. Now, help us understand how do you get from, you know, you've got relationship with with Tennessee with Florida with Texas, and of course with Georgia. So what is your biography and how do you land on running for governor of Texas? Well, you know, my last duties Simon in the army was fort hood, Texas, and of course anybody that's been dragging their wife around for 20 some odd you're going to ask her where was she like to settle down for a retirement? If you want to stay married and my wife is originally from Jamaica, she is a legalized American. And so she wanted to go to South Florida. She's a brilliant woman, MBA and PhD and she got an offer from Raymond James. She's been a financial adviser for quite some time. And so we went to South Florida and that's where I ended up running for Congress and being elected there. But back in 2014, got the opportunity to come back to Texas to work with the conservative think tank here. And her parents, mother and father, they were still alive at the time. They had retired here in Texas because they were also military. So we came back here to Texas. And when you think about the history of Texas, when you talk about me being native born from Georgia and then I went to the university of Tennessee. You know, the very first vice president of the Republic of Texas was a Georgian. Mirabeau Lamar. The very first Secretary of War of the Republic of Texas was a Georgia. And that was named Thomas Jefferson rusk. And James famine, who was the officer that was murdered, massacred with his troops at la Bahia Goliath, was also from Georgia. And, of course, we know about the relationship of the state of Tennessee and how we got our nickname at the university of Tennessee as the volunteers came from those Tennessee and came here to the state of Texas. To include a former member of the House of Representatives by the name of Davy Crockett. So I think there's a lot of consistency there's a lot of parallels. You've more than covered at that's fantastic. I wanted to end on a positive thing and you did by bringing up Davy Crockett. We're going to be right back folks. I don't know about you, but I'm sticking around. We're talking to lieutenant colonel Allen west to the ground. Comes a light hey folks, I've got to tell you a secret about relief factor that the father son owners Pete and Seth. Taubman have never made a big deal about, but I think it is a big deal. I really do. They sell the three week quick start pack for just 1995 to anyone struggling from pain like neck shoulder back, hip or knee pain, 1995, about a dollar a day. But what they haven't broadcasted much is that every time they sell a three week quick start, they lose money. In fact, they don't even break even until about four to 5 months after if you keep ordering it. Friends, that's huge. People don't keep ordering relief factor month after month if it doesn't work. So yes, Pete and Seth are literally on a mission to help as many people as possible deal with their pain. They really do put their money where their mouths are. So if you're in pain from exercise or even just getting older or the three week quick start from 1995, let's see if we can get you out of pain too, but relief factor dot com relief factor dot com or call 805 108 three 8 four 805 108 three 8 four relief factor dot com.

I want to talk to you about yesterday and the January 6th, which my head's going to explode with anger at how the left has been portraying that in cooperation with the quote unquote mainstream media and the conservative media. But let's just talk about you. Some people know you, some people don't, where did you grow up? What you've got an amazing background obviously being a lieutenant colonel being a member of Congress. Tell us a little bit about yourself if you would. Well, I was born in 1961 and the inner city of Atlanta, Georgia and the blacks only hospital. I grew up in the same neighborhood that produced doctor marvelous the king junior is called the old fourth ward neighborhood in Atlanta. My elementary school was right across the street from ebenezer baptist church. I had two fantastic parents. My father was a World War II veteran, an army Corporal served in the European theater of operations and my mother did a little over 25 years of civilian service to a Marine Corps headquarters there in Atlanta. My older brother was a marine in Vietnam at the age of 15, my dad challenged me to be the first officer in the family because he and my older brother were both enlisted. So I started wearing a uniform back in 1976 in high school junior ROTC. And then I went out to the university of Tennessee and on 31, July 1982 I was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the army in the field artillery, and I served 22 years active duty in United States Army 13 different countries three different combat zones. I retired in August of 2004, been married for 32 years, my wife, her dad also was career army, 24 years. He's buried in all of the national cemetery. He served two tours of duty in Vietnam. We have two daughters. Our oldest is 28, and that's Aubrey. The youngest is 25, that's Austin, and we have one grandson. His name is Jackson Bernard, and he is 7 months old. That's way too much information. Can you cut it down to about a sentence? No, you know, it's so funny. Normally, when you interview people, you really want their story and you are one of the very, very few that actually gave me exactly what I was looking for. Normally people will kind of do the false humility thing and say, yeah, I'm just a dad. It's like, yeah, we know you're just a dad. But tell us about listening to your background, it's thrilling because it reminds us really that they're folks out there like you. Who do have an amazing background that prepares you for leadership, whether that's as governor or congressman..

And i'm falling all over myself i can't. I don't have very good balance. Well i think it's time for us to make sure that we have very trying to qualify people out there on on the streets Administering these tests you know. We had many current and former law enforcement officers aspects of the. Dwi feel here in texas across the nation saying that this was an improperly done test and you know you why should have been let go so i think that is an opportunity for us the study some of these things. We have this. Dui unit is part of a state. Funded program. I think we also need to look at. What's the criteria of them receiving funding for this program at this base upon a quota. And how many of these pullovers arrests or whatever you have I think we need to relook that. We're talking with lieutenant. Colonel allen west Former head of the republican party in texas now a candidate for governor so Colonel you still. You still support the police departments right. I never stopped supporting the police departments. But i think that just the same in the military when you go to a rifle range of the pistol range. Anyone can call out an unsafe back. And so i had to call out this Act where. I saw clear injustice and we like i said very forthcoming we released the receipts From her dinner that night it shows. She ordered lemonade. Of course you get a complimentary water As we went to following monday and took a full toxicology tests and we release those results as well And so we were very transparent. And i think that right now what i was taught in the military when i was taught by my parents and i'm sure what you try to teach your kids if you make a mistake you own it. You take responsibility and accountability for it. But i really don't see they come from the dallas police department so is not about not opponent police because i believe we should have law and order. I don't believe in defending the voice of those things but listen. It made it when we get something wrong and make a mistake. We're talking to lieutenant colonel allen west. He's also running for governor of texas. How do you move past this in your campaign for governor well never stopped me and my campaign for governor but i will tell you first of all those I've been married answer for thirty two years and i will defend my wife's honor her reputation of very strongly and just the same. I will defend the integrity of the state of texas As well When i look at the the border that is wide open. I think that we need to protect our sovereignty and make sure we shut down and close that border. We have drug crisis. We have a human sex trafficking crisis here in texas. We have a public health crisis here texas all because we're not seeing anyone stand up and insecure outboards joe biden. Who said he's not going to do it And and when you see what just happened afghanistan. The last thing we need to do is have a border. One thousand two hundred fifty four miles as wide open when we see are going to see a resurgence of islamic terrorism. So how's your wife doing. She feeling vindicated as well. You know she's feeling better day but let me tell you there was really tough nights And the thing that. I had to get angela understand. Sometimes things like this happen for a reason Because not everyone has a spouse that has a pretty big platform and i think that we have brought to light something that maybe there have been other people to have caught up but then caught up and you know having to pay these administrative costs being guilty before innocent you know. Angela could have had to put a device in her car. She had to take a breathalyzer before the car started. If she would have had to pay for it and so you know we've got to look at our processes and procedures and basically don't violate any individuals civil liberties civil rights and their due process. So i think she feels a little bit better about that that She was able to you. Know for whatever reason the been example For others to see that we've got a problem we've gotta issue but we're just glad that the truth came out and we we want to move on. I know that the police chief. Eddie garcia said. He's not going to prosecute this in the in the media. Have you ever gotten any kind of a phone call from him or anything. No all then the more say about that. Thank you very much for your time this morning. Kernel we we always enjoyed talking with you and happy to give you an opportunity to talk about your your wife situation. There's lieutenant colonel allen west y'all have a great labor day weekend all right thank you sir you too..

"Allen bernard west is a former congressman from. Florida is a former state party chairman in texas. He's running for governor in the republican primary coming up in the spring against greg. Abbott you laughing. Yeah i'm laughing because every time My full name was used. My mother was about to whip me with a belt. Kinda get these flashbacks. When when someone says michael christian barry because they've looked me up and learn my middle name i'm convey. It sounds like my mother. Michael christian berg. Get in here. Yeah i agree. I like bernardo's kind of old school. Well thank you. Yeah i mean Well my parents were just fantastic. And i think that's one of the problems see in our inner city communities. That's a big issue for me. My dad was a world. War two veteran Army corporal sort of this country in a segregated army but Challenge me to be the first officer at our family at the age. Fifteen and my mother or twenty five plus years civilian service with the six marinko district headquarters in atlanta. So i do that. I was either going to be an army or marine officer. Because dad you know he ruled the roost olympic. I chose to be an army officer did you were you about to say that you just became a grandfather. Yeah i became a grandfather three months ago and My grandson's middle name is bernard so it continues on. Oh there you go. There you go economic development. What would you do as governor of texas well. I think it's very important right now. Texas is You know you know you hear people the knife largest economy in the world. That's very important. Thirteen percent of fortune five hundred corporate businesses. A heck horse here. But i want to see our small businesses grow. That's the most important thing. And i don't want us to use Texas taxpayer dollars subsidize people to come here. I want people to move to texas. Because they believe in texas and our policies. So i'm not a big fan of the texas enterprise fund and i think one of the problems we have is that some of these Businesses and corporations. That were enticing. The booth here especially out of silicon valley. They're bringing a workforce that is the antithesis to our principles of is that we have here in texas so want to continue to see the economic development but not the expense of this great state that we call texas. What could you do as governor to stop the surge on our border is very simple First and foremost you put your full. National guard deployed down there. You have what we call it a military security which means you have the ground surveillance you have the aerial surveillance you know the truth with the boots on the ground to interdict these infiltration routes that are out there. When you have the bite administration has completely abdicated. His constitutional do their responsibility to protect the of texas. We need to work with our legislature to make sure that we then instead Since the customs aboard patrol and ice aren't doing it we need to be able to detain to arrest and deport individuals that have come in illegally into the state of texas. We need to also make sure that we are doing. What is necessary and designate. The cartels as transnational. Darko criminal terrorists organizations. Therefore we can start going after their resources is go resources going after their finance going after the banks. You know you remember about the stash. House there in texas in houston had ninety illegal immigrants in that stash house. There should not be real estate agents. That are you know provide stash houses to cartel members and they should not be able to recruit people we need to Tax the remittances of illegal immigrants. That are that. Transfer of wealth is flowing out of the state of texas oklahoma. Does it at one percent. I think we should do it at the highest income tax rate that America's texans are asked to pay themselves. I believe that's thirty seven percent so those are some of the things but most importantly we've got to stop the enticing benefits such as you know the free benefits that you get coming here legally in state tuition those type of things ted. Nugent wanted you to be the vice president. Sarah palin suggested you as vice presidential candidate glenn beck said you should run for president. Louie gohmert and paul braun Both supported you for speaker of the house. Even when you weren't in congress and voted for you. What do you think folks see in as a leader You know. The united states army taught me that they're five sees To leadership is courage competence commitment conviction and character. I think that's what people see. I took an oath to support. Defend the constitution. That's what i stand for. And when i was in congress Ten years ago The republicans in the state of florida Working with national gop establishment. They are the ones responsible for districting me out of the district that i represented and then the number one target for the democrat party or two thousand twelve because i believe in standing on principle. That's it michael. And and that's why you know. I'm running for governor because again when you are state or chairman and you're the voice of the grass roots and they have these legislative priorities. I find it abhorrent that we still have the practice of chemical and physical castration of children texas when that was legislative authority and was republicans. Sitting in the governor's mashed lieutenant governor speaker of the house. We couldn't get that pass. Do you have to call out more than greg abbott. In order to make the point as to what should be done in the state. Absolutely if you go back. I think you may remember november of last year with a day. Falen was coming in to be. The speaker was Discussing having democrats support him for being speaker and also putting democrats in committee chair positions. I called him out as political trader. And guess what those democrats did he put in this committee chairman or up there in washington. Dc he still has not rabuka. They'll this committee chairs. You know what. I don't understand and you've been around this process long enough that you've seen it as well is when democrats are in control. They give republicans nothing. When republicans are they desperately believe. They need to to govern in a bipartisan fashion. In it always fails. What would you do as governor when those democrats left and went to washington. Dc is there a simple as soon as those three private jets at landed in washington dc. I would call the press conference. And i would have announced that there are fifty seven. Vacated seats at texas state house announced the day for a special election to fill those fifty seven. Vacated sees you know in the army if you this formation. You don't show up at your appointed place at duty. That's called awol. If you are a wall for thirty days you call it the her so i see a dereliction of duty and i will not tolerate these. Texas democrats are trying to undermine representative democracy and our legislative process. Here something about you. That voters may not know Well let's see I'm i think everyone knows about master scuba diver but In in a way. I'm really an introverted heart But i will step up and for the call of duty and the call the service but like to go out on a long morning runs You know five o'clock in the morning. Just be a piece with my lord savior jesus christ and asked him to give me wisdom and discernment that i need but And also got about thirteen fourteen tattoos. Really yes yeah military.

"Jakko before the break that chris cuomo story. Sorry no you're good. You're good so cnn is obviously in this weird conflict of interest Probe when they look at this investigation. When you look at the report when you look at all of the things that they've uncovered you've got their brother. Who by the way. I tweeted yesterday. And i was like. Hey chris i just wanted to say i hope. Today is a really horrible day for you because you have been enabling your brother who has sent patients to nursing homes to their death and also tried to cover for all of his sexual harassment. And i just wanted to say. I hope that this is a really horrible day for you. So i can. You got to believe that. It was right so he often received. Apparently chris cuomo confidential and often privileged information about some of the women charging has brother was sexual harassment. He looked to protect the governor and quote found ways not to believe his accusers. This is all according to the report put forth by the democratic Ag in new york they also reproduce a text message from one of the governors alleged victims complaining about cnn's pro cuomo coverage. But i mean he went in. He crafted statements for his brother Denials for his brother. Let's see exhibit seventy second appendix. The text of an email written by chris cuomo on february twenty eighth and then he has the comment and then later shortly after a couple of hours later it was posted on. The governor's website and can did i do everyone come on. What are you talking about. And it's meant to convey want. But what are you talking about. So chris cuomo was involved in all of these things. I believe at the same time that he's like yuck ended up with his brother with a giant cute. It wanted to remind people remember. The getaway driver goes to jail with the shotgun inside the like to believe. Believe and sorry deeper. Who cnn new right. Because there's a long history of them blocking for this kind of know. Chris cuomo is complicit he he covered misused his position as a. He's not a news reporter as like propaganda a hired gun for the less journalist germany. He couldn't find journalists in the dictionary. Well that's probably true but so you have him completely covering for his brother. Total conflict of interest. Except when things get really bad and then he comes out and says listen. I can't cover what's going on with my brother in the news because it would be a conflict of interest for me to cover my brother at all even though he's yukking with him portraying him as america's governor the love gov and now all of a sudden he can't report it and then you see he's been involved in all he's an accomplice he's aiding and abetting and if there is a civil suit would not be surprised if he were not named in that civil suit as well because he wasn't enabler and just like you said the the guy that drives a gun. I mean drives the car in the getaway. Hey you're you're just as guilty enabled crime which by the way you mentioned a civil suit. I think i saw. I'm trying to find. I think i saw a tweet earlier that that there is a criminal investigation there. We go westchester district attorney to launch an inquiry into potential criminal conduct by new york governor. Cuomo elijah can you get like get off your phone for a second right emergency. That was going on good so curt cuomo. You've got chris covering for him. You've got cnn. I completely engaged in this conflict of interest. Are they going to ever pay for all of these. Nobody's ever going to give accountability about anything in this country. We're past the point where there's going to be for the pandemic. I think i think even today I saw that the administration has decided that china should never pay retribution. yeah for for the pandemic. because why would we ask them for reparations. We need to get reparations from the white people for slavery of people who whenever slaves before we get reparations from a country that literally killed our citizens in a lot of people who were alive today. And so i just think there's any accountability. I think the government gone rogue. And i think these people are all in on it and i don't think there's anything that's going to happen in this country to anyone who deserves retribution from the government itself. Because it's because it's run by krupp people. The networks are run by the by corrupt individuals. You find out everybody's someone's brother or cousin somebody who des from the intelligence agency. Somebody's director of boston. The cia the fbi. And so i think we're just gonna. We're looking at the place where people and again don't confuse me for calling for revolution from this. I just meant there was a time when people lived in the united kingdom and went. This government is just. I gotta get the hell out of here if you've done it before they went like this is just beyond broken. I gotta go somewhere new. Unfortunately the world is pretty. Well colonized where you would go. But i can't go anywhere where we just want to take it back. That's what needs to take back. This is this is where spine has to align again backbone diplom- line plumb line has to come in but just to your point. Yeah i know. The accountability is going to have to come from the state. And this is why the are governors and county commissioners and school superintendents. It's about taking back these positions it actually affect your life and getting governors like abbott out..

"Various democratic politicians including several governors called for new york andrew. Cuomo resignation Today and yes. I'm sorry today and yesterday In light of of course the state attorney's report this investigative report that just dropped. Yesterday we covered it on the show. It is bad is bad for andrew cuomo by the way not just the investigator's office but also the people who were making these complaints about andrew. Cuomo they're all democrats right so this is a democrat led investigation. Democrats coming forward telling their stories. What what was it. Seventy nine thousand pieces of evidence. I mean there was a law that was uncovered here. Pennsylvania governor tom wolfe new jersey governor phil murphy. Connecticut connecticut governor. Ned lamont rhode island governor. Dan mckee declared in their statement. We are appalled at the findings of the independent investigation by the new york attorney. General governor cuomo should resign from office. This of course comes. After joe biden himself called for him to resign. Pelosi called for him to resign. So far i guess. I need to say as of the time this shaping because who knows what what could transpire between now and within the next hour but so far. He's he's staying in and he's like i didn't. I didn't do anything i'd never touch. Anyone inappropriately what are you talking about. I just i just touched me Is this what we do in all countries palm. I'm my dad. This is not news to me fight trafficking and so at the stroke of midnight. Twenty twenty. This governor released known pedophile out of prison into the streets of new york when the ball drops literally literally today. If you're a sex offender you go in you walk in. You get fingerprinted you walk out. You get a day to appear that nobody's appearing and wind guys do these kind of things. They are part of the problem. This is why. I can say newsom as part of the problem. Watch this watch. You'll see what something something's gonna come right. This guy needs to fall. Are we impeach to president with no evidence twice. Seventy nine thousand pieces of evidence live witnesses and this guy is still sitting there. Andrew kavanagh's children went through hell on breath kavanagh cabinets. Children went through hell on earth because their father was no evidence. Seventy nine thousand pieces of evidence in this guy still in the office. That's a disgrace. Well i'm new yorkers you need to go and take your city back and run this guy out of office. What else is a disgrace. Colonel is that this is a man who his executive order sent elderly people to their deaths in nursing homes. That not only. Did he do that but he went back and covered it up his office engaged in covering it up so that they didn't have to report the numbers that wasn't enough media still gave him an international emmy. Now all of a sudden i guess he's become liability and finally they're like all right. He's an absolute prior. But just think about. It was a year ago when all of them were hailing him as the best governor in the united states of america future president. I mean this guy is on track and now look at him so it's embarrassing now again. Just you know an thinking if this were a republican governor yes slaughter it'd be armageddon. Oh form and but but this last absolutely as jakko just brought up this shows the duplicitous hypocrisy and the arrogance of officialdom that you have to have all of these people coming out and saying that governor. You need to resign. He's still not gonna do it. Yeah i feel like alasia that the you hear you heard from nancy pelosi. You heard from joe biden. You heard from all of these people. I have a hard time believing that they didn't know that that was the who the governor was right. It's like you don't actually care that he did these things you just now know that everyone else knows and you have to call on him to resign. One hundred percent and being from california a place also not tough on crime. I came to the conclusion longtime ago that when the government stops being tough on crime. That's because it's being run by criminals so it's hard to be tough on on yourself right when you when you can look in the mirror. Every time someone does something horrible. Like i get walking. You know i do that too. So it's interesting. You know with with with new york changing its bail reform and all the issues that wow the people running the state in the city etc these are all criminals to and i always say you have to be a criminal to run for the government in chicago or new york or in illinois or anywhere like that like these places. Run like the mob. And so what's crazy is. Is that cuomo arrogant. And so prideful to think that this stuff would not surmount everything that i want to say. This shows god is real that there's no man above the truth that what is done in secret will be shown in the light and i think men get cocky and that's what the democrats are doing because they've been successful grabbing power they will. Nobody can take me down. Well god can take you down. God still loves his country. I believe he loves the people. People are praying for new york. And i'm going to say that we're praying for the women of the country sexual purity in the nation and so this man was a sexual predator. Who's coming out there. There's a big difference with a man making an innuendo pass. It off like oh. I just commented on her breasts or something. It's like okay. Well i saw. Your governor shouldn't do that anyways brother you have countless violet people. This is a one time. Baz wasn't a one time i was. We'd miscommunicated this is. This is the weirdest excuse for sexual assault to say. I've done it to everybody. Young black white asian and sexually harass people. He's brother blocked for him brother and criminal news network locked for him and they knew about it at the same network that allowed the gotta come back on tv who was doing a sexual act when he on zoom jonathan told you see it like i say the the light comes out and he said we all do. I remember an article that was like it was. We've been there. And i was co workers call was off. I was like when i have coworkers sniffer happened. Not normal down there when i coach..

The News & Why It Matters
"allen west" Discussed on The News & Why It Matters
"Back and consider other options arabia. You're going to hear from them. What those other options are have been form. They're about to make a judgment as the potential other options whether that option will pass constitutional measure with this administration. Thank you can't tell you what's the don't know who's to say really constitution. It's just this little dusty book you don't really need to get it out of read. It anything he by the way he later goes on in that clip to say he hopes it will give some additional time to give out rental assistant funds now of course the day before that he had clearly yes he clearly that the cdc lacked the authority to be able to extend All of this by the way. This is something that has been in place in september. So we're coming up on an entire year of not allowing landlords to collect their rent. People living literally rent-free In these places and now here you have it He you know. For whatever reason i guess because at the end of the day they don't believe in the constitution Decided now this is totally fine. Let's just allow people to get out of paying rent. Why should they have to pay to live. The first thing. Is that the center for disease control. This is not a legislative body. They do not make policy. They make recommendations so we've gotten out of control there but i guess i don't need to pay my taxes to the federal government anymore. I mean you know. So why should i have to do that. But this is a complete violation of the free market system. Because basically what you're saying. You have a contractual obligation and an agreement. Then the cdc. Yoda fellow governor could say well. You know what we'll pick the winners and losers and you don't have to do this you don't have to pay so what happens to the people that are out there the renters so i guess jakko we don't need to pay our mortgage anymore and and you know we all knew that bubble was gonna burst because they had there was a run. There was a time period where you had this. Grace period with the government was printing money and this is another method just to print money. And they're going to continue to do this. They will ride the cova train into the sunset as long as they can to grow government print money but it was time to pay up and so remember one thing sarah many if not most of you. Renters of small homes are small business owners. Who have a second home that they're renting so they're carrying dipping been carrying mortgages. Now they don't get to tell the bank sorry I'm just doing nothing here. And so somebody pays always. I mean this whole thing about free lunch as what they want to kick it down. Well this money we'll send you a check in the mail. No worry you know now. It's a really really big problem and so at some point we're going to have to take this stance of saying fine. If you're going to be irresponsible as a federal government we're not gonna pay taxes. We're going to turn the spigot off on you and that's radical but these are radical times. I think we need to start sending that message to the hill and say okay. Remember who you get money from because you're actually sell any goods you collect taxes. Yeah and we say no no more no more printing money malaysia. Do you also see this. As a more insidious just kind of trying to create within the culture That they have to rely on the government to make sure that they have their living spaces. That i mean it just feels a lot like it goes with the great reset you know. Creating a culture of dependence creating this culture where You know big daddy. Government has to give you your allotted your your room your board your food your everything and you have to rely on them to tell you what to do. I mean we've lost the nature of independence in our country. I was just watching a documentary of a chinese billionaire who bought a manufacturing plant. And he said you so crazy to see that the american work work ethic is so much less than the chinese work ethic and that people don't work hard. What happened to that. And i go well. I mean he used to have a work. We used to have standards. We used to fear. God and people took care of themselves their families. And we were self reliant but as we've moved the government's gotten larger as we've been in god people are looking for someone to take care of them as the structure of the family has broken down off fathers to help them to buy their first house to get out of debt etc so people are just stocks. And who's gonna help me. And they're i guess it's the government and the government is realizing that at this point in time which is actually scaring me genuinely and i'm not trying to be a fear monger but when the government acknowledges we are violating the tenure and you are going against the founding documents we realized that but we we believe. We're at a point in history where we now no longer have to respect us documents. So i go. I don't wanna overblown this specific topic. But they're using this. I believe to testing. We could get away with this now. I'm wondering what else are they going to try to get. You have to look at the man on the street. And how does it really impact giving an example. It just pooped my phone out. I'm in bucks yesterday this beautiful place. We haven't lexus bookies. So this i'll show you so you can verify.
