1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: You may have noticed that the Democrats are spending a 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: hell of a lot of money right now. In fact, 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: they're now saying we ought to just get rid of 4 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: a debt limit and do what we know should be done. 5 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: That is a new Democrat line, as we are spending 6 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:19,000 Speaker 1: money everywhere and it's all going to cost you an 7 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: insane amount of money. It's not just the money going 8 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: to Ukraine, but the present today wanted you to get 9 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: excited because he's sending billions of dollars to Africa.

Every bit of 13 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: this montage that we put together is about your money. 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: Listen carefully, how much money we are announ seeing to 15 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: Africa on top of what we're seeing to Ukraine. It's 16 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: the start of my administration. The MCC's announced new investments 17 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: of nearly one point two billion dollars in Africa, working 18 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: with Congress to invest three hundred and fifty billion dollars 19 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: to facilitate more than almost a half a billion dollars 20 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: in financing to make sure people across Africa can participate 21 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,759 Speaker 1: in the digital economy.

And we announced our intention to collectively mobilize 32 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: six hundred billion dollars in the next five years. A 33 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: deal worth two billion dollars to build solar energy projects 34 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: in Angola.

The bottom line is simple 37 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: goods from the port of excuse me from the port 38 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: of Kutno to neighboring log and landlocked countries. We expect 39 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: the MCC to commit an additional two point five billion 40 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: dollars across Africa in just the next three years. We're 41 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: investing to facilitate greater regional trade within Africa, including by 42 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: investing in infrastructure. We'll invest five hundred million dollars to 43 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: build and maintained roads put in place for trillion dollars, 44 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: we invested in Africa's capacity to manufacture it's own vaccines, 45 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: investing in the investing in Africa's people, developing human capital 46 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: in the United States is committed to supporting every aspect, 47 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: every aspect of Africa's inclusive growth and creating the best 48 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: possible environment for sustained commercial engagement between Africa companies and 49 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 1: American companies. That's a lot of money, mister President, a 50 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: whole lot of money that we are sending to other 51 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: parts around the world. And the question is why, quote 52 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: the US International Development Finance Corporation, we are investing three 53 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy million in new projects, one hundred million 54 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: to increase the reliable clean energy for millions of people 55 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: in the subpissit here in Africa. Why is that our business? 56 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: Why our tax dollars going to pay for new clean 57 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 1: energy in Africa. I as taxpayer have no desire to 58 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: pay for this twenty million to provide financing for fertilizer 59 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: to help smallholder smallholder farmers. Now we could discuss that 60 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: on an issue of poverty, but at the end of 61 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: the day, when I see how much debt we have 62 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: in this country, we can't afford this. They also are 63 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: making sure they check all the boxes because they said 64 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: particularly the money is going to be going to women 65 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: farmers ten million to support small, medium sized, small and 66 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: medium sized enterprises and help bring clean drinking water to 67 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: communities all across the continent. Again, that's a humanitarian issue 68 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: we can talk about. But why are we sending them 69 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars for green and alternative kombay 70 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: yaht energy. It doesn't make any sense. If you want 71 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: to do that, then fine and prove it in this 72 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: country and prove our grid here if you want to 73 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: do that, But why are we sending it there? It 74 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense to me. This is an abuse 75 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: of our tax dollars and each and every one of 76 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: us who are paying our taxes, you need to know 77 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 1: that hundreds of millions of dollars are actually going to 78 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: this type of thing. Now here's the part that's even 79 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: more insane. Congressman Clyburne, a Democrat. He's now advocating for 80 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 1: getting rid of the debt limit so that we can 81 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: just spend money for the rest of his life and 82 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: have the next generation go bankrupt into a massive financial crisis. 83 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: Here's what you had to say this morning. Democrats are 84 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: in control of both houses, both chambers. Right now we're 85 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: up against another deadline. Why wasn't Congress able to do 86 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: its job to find the government on time? Why are 87 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: we in this place again? Because I think we just 88 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: make a big mistake ful around it. It's so called deloment. 89 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: I haven't nadvocated for more than twenty years now that 90 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: we want to get rid of this. No other country 91 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: like ours or anything akin to it. It's got anything 92 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: called a diploment. You will just get rid of it 93 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: and do what we know should be done. Year in 94 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: and year, keep putting this so called diploment and every 95 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: year raising it. It's just a bit sephomoric to me 96 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: get rid of this notion and do what we need 97 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: to do to run the country. Every other country is 98 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: doing that I think that we have one other believe 99 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: the only country in the world has got to get Ammit, 100 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 1: what does it do? Why do we have it? What 101 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: does it do? Why do we have it? Why are 102 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 1: we different than every other country in the world. Where 103 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: do I even start with the insanity? But what Klebern 104 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 1: understands is he's an old guy. He's not gonna have 105 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: to penny this back. So let's spend America into oblivion. 106 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: And remember when America is weak, socialism is strong. When 107 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: the American economy is weak, socialism and the idea of 108 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: the government taking care of you is strong. Democrats understand 109 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: that the biggest threat to their power is low interest 110 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: rates and low unemployment rates. They were terrified of what 111 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: the Republican Party was doing when Donald Trump as the president. 112 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: They were terrified. Okay, be clear about this. They were 113 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: terrified that Republicans were bringing in new people into the 114 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: Republican Party.

Turtlebox Audio dot com slash Ben. Now, look, 133 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: when Donald Trump was president before COVID, you had the 134 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: lowest unemployment rate in history among African American, Hispanic Americans, 135 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: Asian Americans, and single mothers. The Republican Party was empowering 136 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: people to be able to take care of themselves and 137 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: was empowering people to actually succeed. In what makes this 138 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: country so great it is our freedom, our freedom to 139 00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: create jobs, or freedom to have businesses, our freedom to succeed. 140 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: And as soon as they saw that, now look at 141 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: what they're doing. They're trying to bankrupt this country and 142 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: they're trying to get as much power as they can. 143 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: Because when people lose their jobs, when people are hurting, 144 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: when people can't pay their bills, they always see it 145 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: as a real opportunity, a significant opportunity to move forward 146 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: and to grab more power. This is now what the 147 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: Democratic Party is doing. And if you think that there's 148 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 1: some Republicans that aren't in on this spending either, you'd 149 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: be wrong. Let me give you a perfect example. John 150 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: Bayner actually cried in Nancy Pelosi tribute during the Speaker's 151 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: portrait unveiling at the Capitol. The former Republican speaker who's 152 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: a Rhino Republican in name only, John Bayner, became choked 153 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: up as he spoke about how Speaker Nancy Pelosi in 154 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: a ceremony for the unveiling of her Speaker's portrait. Bayner, 155 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: who is known full disclosure for crying. Was speaking during 156 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: the event about his and his family's appreciation for Pelosi, 157 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: who succeeded him in twenty eleven. When Baynard became tearful, 158 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 1: Madam Speaker, I have to say, my girls told me 159 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: tell the speaker how much we admire her, John Bayner said, 160 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: as tears filled his eyes and the crowd applauded. Pelosi 161 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: delivered remarks after Bainner, saying, how about John Bayner? Wasn't 162 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: that something I'm telling you? I would have been a 163 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: little disappointed if he did not get emotional. The portrait 164 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: of Pelosi, the first woman to become Speaker of the House, 165 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: will be hung in a lobby of portraits of speakers 166 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: in the US capital, and Bainner noted that the late 167 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: artist Ronald Sheer painted both his and Pelosi's. Baynard also 168 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 1: spoke during your remarks about how he and Pelosi disagreed politically, 169 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: but we're never disagreeable.

Right? Now it is 174 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: so bad that the National Debt clock actually has problems 175 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: keeping up when you load it.

Now let's talk about the national debt clock. 203 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: So you understand what these Republicans who are going along 204 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 1: with these Democrats on this spending bill, what they're doing 205 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: to us as a nation. Right now, in this country, 206 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: we have more than thirty one trillion, four hundred and 207 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 1: thirty four billion, two hundred and sixty nine million dollars 208 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: in debt. So let's break that down. If we wanted 209 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 1: that number to go to zero for literally only one 210 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: when thousandth of a second our debt per US citizen, everybody, 211 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: whether you're a child that was just born or you 212 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: are an elderly person who is about to die, would 213 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: have to write a check for ninety four thousand, two 214 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: hundred and forty dollars. That's how much debt we have 215 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: This is when I tell people watch what they're doing 216 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: to destroy this country. Now here's the other part. There's 217 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: a large percentage of the American population that don't pay 218 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: tax at all. So if you are only giving the 219 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: debt to the people that actually pay the debt, and 220 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: that is as I'm sure you're well aware, the tax payer. Right, kids, 221 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: infant kids, they're not paying taxes. Those that are elderly 222 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: retired most of them are not paying taxes. Those that 223 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: are disabled, most of them not paying taxes. So if 224 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: you spread our national debt just among the tax payers, 225 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: what would everybody have to write a check for right 226 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: now to get back to zero. We'd all have to 227 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: write a check for two hundred and forty eight thousand 228 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: dollars a quarter of a million dollars to pay off 229 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: our national debt right now. The part that's even scarier 230 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: than anything else is if you go back to when 231 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: we had our crisis in this country in nineteen eighty. 232 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: Everybody remembers what happened when Jimmy Carter was in office 233 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: and we had gas lines and shortages. The list goes 234 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: on and on. We had interest rates that were twelve, fifteen, 235 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: twenty percent on houses, depending on who you are, eighteen percent, 236 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: sixteen percent during some of that time was actually a 237 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: good interest rate on a home. What was the US 238 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: federal debt to GDP ratio back in nineteen eighty, Now 239 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: that was during a tumultuous time. It was thirty four 240 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: point seven two percent. Go back to two thousand, right 241 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: before we were having some financial issues then and spending 242 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: got out of control, before we had a major problem 243 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: with our economy. After nine to eleven, our GDP was 244 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: fifty five point two three percent US federal debt to 245 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: GDP ratio. So let's put that into perspective of where 246 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: we are now. Right now under the leadership of the 247 00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: Democratic Party and because of Rhinos, scumbag Republicans are now 248 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: national US federal debt to gross domestic product ratio is 249 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty one point eight five percent. If 250 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 1: you went in to a bank and you had the 251 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: debt load, there isn't a shark in America that would 252 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: lend you the money. You are bankrupt. There are many 253 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: that are saying the United States government is bankrupt right now. 254 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: We just don't know it because we keep borrowing money. 255 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: Because we're the United States of America, we have plenty 256 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: by the way of revenue coming in known as taxes. 257 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: We have a ton of tax money coming in. But 258 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: if you want to know what our largest budget items 259 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: are in the US government, Medicare and Medicaid is right 260 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: now for this year one point five trillion dollars alone. 261 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: So security now coming in second at one point two 262 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: trillion dollars this year alone, Defense and war budgets. Because 263 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: of all the money we're now saying, the Ukraine has 264 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: skyrocket at number three, seven hundred and seventy two billion 265 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 1: alone this year. Can we afford to be sending all 266 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: this money that Joe Biden talked about to Africa or Ukraine? 267 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: The answer is clearly no. And if you want to 268 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,959 Speaker 1: know what the fourth largest item is in our budget 269 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: in the US government right now, this is the one 270 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: that should scare the hell out of everybody. It is 271 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: our interest on our debt. Just our interest alone is 272 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: four hundred and eighty five billion just on the interest. 273 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: We also have some unfunded debt interest. The US total 274 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: interest paid so far is three and a half trillion dollars. 275 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: You want to break down just the interest per adult, 276 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: not per taxpayer, but per adult in this country. The 277 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: liability right now is thirteen thousand, five hundred and thirty 278 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: three dollars per adult. Our US total debt ninety three trillion, 279 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: six hundred and twenty two billion. That's how bad our 280 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: debt has gotten at this point. That's the US debt. 281 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: I'm referring to taxpayers in general, our citizens, I should say, 282 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: in general as a country. That's not government debt, that's 283 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: personal US debt. We are upside down not just with 284 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 1: our personal debt, but with our debt on our taxes 285 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: as well in this country, or I should say, are 286 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: spinning in this country. So as a nation, our US 287 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: national debts thirty one point four trillion dollars unfunded debt, 288 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: and interests in this country for individual's credit card and 289 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: things like that of American citizens is at three and 290 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: a half trillion dollars. Again, thirteen thousand, five hundred and 291 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 1: thirty three dollars is the interest alone that people own 292 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: per adult in this country. This is unsustainable, and Democrats 293 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: are out there saying we should get rid of the debt. 294 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: Clock now. If you think Republicans are being fiscally responsible 295 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: during this time, you would be wrong. And if you 296 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: want to know why Republicans have gotten so used to 297 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: spending all of your money on ridiculous things. Maybe you 298 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 1: don't have to look any further than the actual Republican 299 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: National Committee and they're spending habits from donors. There's a 300 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: new analysis out of the Republican National Committee and the 301 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: spending since two thousand and seventeen showing that millions of 302 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: dollars from donors, thinking they're making a difference in this country, 303 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: we're spent on private jets, limousines, luxury retreats, and Broadway shows. 304 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: Back in two thousand and ten, the RNC chairman, now 305 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: I woke liberal on MSNBC who was a Rhino then 306 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 1: Michael Steele, was heavily criticized and eventually lost his position 307 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: because donors were angry about what they believed were luxuries 308 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: spending items on private jets, floral arrangements, chauffeur services and 309 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: member meetings and expensive tropical locations. Donors were used to 310 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: being the RNC being frugal. Why because under the George W. 311 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: Bush administration, when Karl Rove would complain if there were 312 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,880 Speaker 1: flowers on the tables and staff holiday parties were actually 313 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: catered by chick fil a. Karl Rove understood one thing. 314 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: If you're asking people to give money to get people elected, 315 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: then actually use the money to get people elected. I 316 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: was living in DC during the time. I can tell 317 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,199 Speaker 1: you there was not a lot of frills around the 318 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 1: Republican National Committee. It was a place that if you 319 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: send a check, the money was going to go back 320 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: to actually elect conservatives. That's not happening anymore with the 321 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: Republican Party, which explains why they're so bad on fighting 322 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: to stop spending in the Capitol Building when right outside 323 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: the Capitol Building, this is what they're doing with donors money. 324 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: Despite Joe Biden's economy and not one, not two, but 325 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 1: three straight cycles of election losses, the Republican National Committee 326 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: has been big spenders. They've come back with a vengeance. 327 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 1: Perhaps because of those losses, RNC donors and committee members 328 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: are now interested in the committee's finances, particularly the spending. 329 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: Last week, Red State was provided a report dated October seventh, 330 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, that examined the rnc's twenty twenty one 331 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two spending cycle.

To determine how to compare that 346 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: to the rest of Ronald McDowell, the RNC chairwoman's tenure, 347 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 1: Red State examined the rnc's expenditures from two thousand and 348 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: seventeen through two twenty twenty two. In addition to a 349 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: review of federal election commissions data, red State also spoke 350 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 1: with current vendors, State party officials familiar with the workings 351 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: former staff members, some from Daniel's tenure, and some who 352 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: worked for prior chairs. Red State also spoke with several 353 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: current RNC members to VERI five numbers and dates. Most 354 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: were only willing to discuss some matters on background, and 355 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: all were promised that their names would not be used 356 00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: to avoid potential retaliation. Quote. It's difficult to act currently 357 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: categorized all of the expenditures because a significant number of 358 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:09,919 Speaker 1: transactions seem to be misclassified by the Republican National Committee. 359 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 1: For example, this is not a joke. Nearly five thousand 360 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: dollars of donor money was spent in twenty twenty two 361 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: at Lululemon for luxury athletic apparel. Yes, that was classified 362 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: as an office expense, as were two expenditures totaling nine thousand, 363 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: three hundred dollars at Madison Square Garden back in two seventeen. 364 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: If the Republican Party's willing to spend five grand on 365 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: yoga pants, and that money's coming from donors, then let's 366 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: go back and look at a bigger snapshot for since 367 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. That's when we started losing elections three cycles 368 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: in a row. Is it maybe that they're spending so 369 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 1: much money on their luxury lifestyle they really don't care 370 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: if we win or lose races. And I'm talking about 371 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: the Republican National Committee. You want to know how much 372 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: money they've spent on private jets since two thousand and seventeen, 373 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 1: three point one million on private jet services. You want 374 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: to know how much the Republican Party has spent of 375 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: donors money on limousines and chauffeur services. One point three million. 376 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: That's three point four million for private jets and limos. 377 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: They also spent seventeen point one million on donor mementos. 378 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: I guess that means if you give money, we want 379 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: to give you some of your money back. Seventeen point 380 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: one million since two thousand and seventeen we have been 381 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: spending on donor mementos. I'm curious, sincerely curious who's been 382 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: getting that seventeen point one million. Is there somebody than 383 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: within the Republican Party that's got an aunt, uncle, or 384 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: cousin that's getting paid and insane amount of money for mementos. 385 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: Somebody had to do some dealing and digging into that 386 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: how about floral arrangements? Because when people write a check 387 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: to the Republican National Committee and Ron McDowell, they spend 388 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars on floral arrangements. Nearly 389 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: four hundred thousand has been spent on event tickets and 390 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: other entertainment activities, including thirty thousand for a private box 391 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: at a Las Vegas Raiders game alone. There was thirteen 392 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: thousand they've spent on Broadway show tickets, ninety four hundred 393 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 1: at Madison Square Garden, and forty three thousand dollars of 394 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: donor money has gone to top golf locations in Texas, Nevada, Virginia, 395 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: and Maryland. According to a senior staff for the private 396 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 1: box a Raiders game was part of a retreat for 397 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: senior staff members at the RNC. RNC funds were also 398 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: used to fly seniors staffers and their plus ones first 399 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: class to Las Vegas and for the hotel room's food 400 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: and alcohol. The staffers said. Senior staff retreats were also 401 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 1: held at five star resorts, one in Virginia, a Spa 402 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two. Because apparently, 403 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 1: after you get your brains beat in in election cycles, 404 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: you need a little R and R. A Republican and 405 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 1: National Committee member also said at the twenty twenty one 406 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 1: retreat held from March to nineteenth through the twenty first, 407 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: so three days, thirty senior staffers and their families who attended, 408 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: the RNC paid for Kitty Welsh and Mike Shields to 409 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: speak to the group. The FEC reported shows that the 410 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: RNC paid two hundred and sixty thousand dollars to the 411 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: resort alone, classified as travel expenses and venue rental and catering. 412 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: Man must be a fun weekend, right. The dates of 413 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:04,000 Speaker 1: various entertainment expenditures were provided to former staffers and National 414 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 1: Committee members who confirm that there were no donor events 415 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 1: or other RNC official events occurring at those times. So 416 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: if you work at the RNC, you're having one hell 417 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:18,800 Speaker 1: of a weekend at the donor's expense. Now, under the 418 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: current leadership of Ronald McDowell, the RNC has spent more 419 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,959 Speaker 1: than one hundred and fifty thousand on what could be 420 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 1: considered non essential office expenses, including twenty five thousand at 421 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: Joe's Commonwealth Coffee, seven thousand dollars of donor money has 422 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: been spent on cupcakes alone, nearly seven thousand on candles 423 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: and diffusers, and seventy five thousand total at Pottery Barn 424 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: West Elm Restoration, Hardware, Creighton Beryl. In addition, the committee's 425 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: FEC reports show expenditures totaling three hundred and eighty one 426 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: thousand classified as furniture expenses during that same time frame. 427 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: Because you've got to have a nice office. Now, before 428 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: I get into more of this story, I want to 429 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: say thank you and tell you about our good friends 430 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 1: at Legacy Precious Medals.

They only spent a 476 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: thousand dollars for floral arrangements during the last election cycle. 477 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: Long time RNC committee members who spoke with Red State 478 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: said that other than during Michael Still's time is chair, 479 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: it has not been standard practice for the chair to 480 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: use private jets or show for services. A committee member 481 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: who spoke to Red State on condition of ev no 482 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 1: one knowing who they are, said quote, we are only 483 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: provided with top line financial numbers during our meetings with 484 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: no specifics, and when I've asked the budget chair for information, 485 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: They've been unable to provide it. Remember added that there 486 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: is general frustration about the lack of financial transparency among 487 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: committee members, but that members who demand more information are 488 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: labeled as troublemakers. Major donors who are learning of the 489 00:32:55,200 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: expenditures are understandably upset about how their contributions are being spent. 490 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: Country music star a RNC downer, John Rich, who has 491 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: been openly critical of the rnc's expenditures of McDowell herself, 492 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: said this, the leadership of the RNC has taken advantage 493 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:15,000 Speaker 1: of millions of regular, everyday conservatives by pretending to support 494 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: what patriots support, but in reality are blowing untold troths 495 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: of cash on extravagant nonsense and supporting rhino candidates while 496 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: ignoring American First contenders. They are nothing more than controlled opposition. 497 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: The RNC ran ads in twenty twenty one, raising money 498 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: under the phrase fight for Trump, while simultaneously telling Trump 499 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: and his team to stand down from questioning the election results, 500 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: stating he was ruining the party. The RNC has betrayed 501 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,880 Speaker 1: its supporters and for one will never help them raise 502 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: another Red scent until the Judah's element of the organization 503 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: have been purged. The RNC chairwoman Ronald McDowell, has not 504 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: replied to Red States requests for comment prior to publication 505 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 1: of this expose. But I go back to what the 506 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:13,800 Speaker 1: Democrats did. The Democrats only spent one point five million 507 00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 1: on donors gifts. We spent seventeen million in the last 508 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: election cycle. The RNC spending insane amounts of money on 509 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,040 Speaker 1: private jets, while the Democratic Party only spent thirty five 510 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:32,560 Speaker 1: thousand and only a thousand on floral arrangements. We spent 511 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: three point one million on private jets, one point three 512 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:40,240 Speaker 1: million on limousine and chauffeur services, seven hundred and fifty 513 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:45,839 Speaker 1: thousand on floral arrangements, and seventeen point one million on 514 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: donor mementos. It's scary when the Democratic Party does a 515 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: better job of taking care of their donor's money than 516 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: the Republican Party does. If you want to know why 517 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 1: we keep getting our atables kicked, it's because of the 518 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: Republican leadership and Ronald McDowell. Let's be honest. If you're 519 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 1: giving money the RNC, stop and demand that they get 520 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,920 Speaker 1: rid of the people that are doing this. It's disgusting, 521 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 1: all right. Make sure you share this podcast with your 522 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,840 Speaker 1: family and your friends. Please run. It's a five star review. 523 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 1: Make sure people know where the money's going in the RNC, 524 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: and I'll see it back here tomorrow.
