Starting point is 00:00:00 Folks, welcome to the Eric Metaxus show, sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. There's never been a better time to invest in precious metals. Visit legacy p.m. Investments.com. That's legacy p.m. Investments.com. Welcome to the Eric Metaxus show. I shouldn't tell you this, but Eric hired someone who sounds just like him to host today's show. But since I'm the announcer, they told me, so I'm telling you, don't be fooled. The real Eric's in jail. Hey there, folks. Welcome to Thursday, Thursday, Thursday. Chris Heim's, welcome to Thursday. Happy State of the Union Thursday. Yes, tonight will be the State of the Union.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Yes. Is anybody dumb enough to watch that? I'm just asking for a friend. Honestly, the idea of watching... I just can't imagine that anybody would want to watch it. Well, I've recently gone back to college and I'm in a fraternity, so we're going to do a drinking game where any time Biden has a brain freeze, we do a shot. Oh, man. That's why I'll be watching.
Starting point is 00:01:09 are going to get very wasted. I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't advise that. I would not advise. I come across, I mean, I want to come out strongly as disapproving of that idea. Okay. So tonight's the state of the union. Make sure you skip it if you can, folks. If you can possibly miss it, make sure,
Starting point is 00:01:24 write it down, you want to skip the state of the union. In today's program, I want to say, in hour two, we're talking to our friend, Roger Stone. That's not his literal name. Actually, it is. His name is Roger Stone. talking to Roger Stone in our two. He's a consigliary to President Trump, and he's going to give us
Starting point is 00:01:45 some insight information on tonight's State of the Union, which in case I haven't mentioned, you want to be sure to miss. Miss it if you can. If you can't miss it, hey, but if you can, make sure you miss it tonight. Tonight I'm flying down to Orlando, Florida, because tomorrow... Disney passes. No, I hate Disney. Disney is a grooming society. They want to groom your children. We're not joking. So, by the way, anybody listening to this, if you ever spend a dime with Disney,
Starting point is 00:02:15 you're dead to me. Do not, please, ever spend a dime with Disney. I don't care, you know, what they once meant to us. That's the point. It's kind of like saying, well, Benedict Arnold was a great guy. Yeah, he was. And then he went over to the dark side. That's what happened to Disney.
Starting point is 00:02:33 That's what happened to Anheiser-Busch. I don't just say Bud Light. Anheuser-Busch. I will never order another Stella Artois beer because it's produced by Anheiser Bush. These once great American companies have gone over to the dark side. We need to reject them with all our might and Maine. Have I mentioned Target stores, folks? I don't care where you have to drive.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Don't go to Target. I think you'll feel better about yourself if you avoid these places. I just want to mention it. But I'm going to Orlando because we are doing a screening tonight in Family Church in Orlando. of the film letter to the American Church. That's exciting. Starring John Amichuquo, James Lindsay, Charlie Kirk, Victor Marks, Eileen Marks, Pastor Rob McCoy, and a cameo by George Burns as God.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Just kidding. Oh, that would have been good. He's passed, so that would have been difficult. Yeah, it's tough to get him. But this one down in Orlando, it'll be in 3D, right? With the glasses. No, no, no. But the film tonight's in, I'll be there.
Starting point is 00:03:37 tonight. If you can get there, I'll be signing books. It's just the joy. Actually, I'm sorry, I'm flying down tonight, but this is tomorrow night. So this is tomorrow night. So if you start driving now, you've got like 24 hours or more to get there. So if you're in Texas, you have no excuse. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so tomorrow in Orlando, tomorrow night. But we want to say that letter to the American church, we've made it available free to any church that wants to do a screening. So I kind of want to ask, if you're going to a church that doesn't want to do a screening, why are you interested in going to that church? Perhaps you're not aware of how late the hour is in America,
Starting point is 00:04:18 that if the church does not wake up, this is what I keep saying. It's over. The church in Germany said, nah, not yet. And by the time they realized what was happening, it was too late. That is exactly where we are. I've spent the last couple of days in a studio recording the sequel to Letter to the American Church. It's called religionless Christianity, where I spell out more of what I say in Letter to the American Church. And I recorded the audio book, so that's going to be available. The book comes out
Starting point is 00:04:48 April 23rd. You can pre-order religionless Christianity. Amazon always says that if you pre-order, they will give you the best price between then and when it comes out. So if the price dips at some point, which they do, you'll get that better price. So that's religionless Christianity, sequel to letter to the American Church. which is coming out. And I just want to be clear, folks, we're in a battle to save the nation, not for our own sake, for the sake of the world. If we go down, the world goes down, and the globalist elites
Starting point is 00:05:21 who do not have the values of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, they will take over, they're trying to take over, which brings us to the subject of our friends at the Alliance Defending Freedom. We're doing a fundraiser with the Alliance Defending Freedom. Today, in hour two, we're airing my conversation with Roger Stone. In hour one, we're airing my conversation with one of the senior councils at the Alliance defending freedom. They are absolutely at the front line for the last 30 years. They've been fighting for us all the way to the Supreme Court.
Starting point is 00:05:55 They're defending our first freedoms, including free speech, parental rights. Can you imagine we are now having to fight in the courts for parental rights? and obviously freedom of religion. Actually, you know what? The president of ADF, Kristen Wagner, she is a hero. I've spent a lot of time with her over the years. She's no stranger to the free speech issue.
Starting point is 00:06:20 She's defended the rights of college students to speak out. Think of that. Even when their views might be unpopular, such as recent campus demonstrations supporting terrorists like Hamas. Let's play the clip. This is Kristen Wagner, who's the president of ADF, Let's play that. It's a very difficult issue because the speech right now that is advocating for Hamas or supporting
Starting point is 00:06:41 Hamas is absolutely deplorable and disgusting and it's reprehensible. And it reveals, I think, such a level of anti-Semitism that most Americans never knew was just so latent in our society. And we have to stand up against it. We have said, though, that the answer to bad speech is more speech. It is not giving the government the power to restrict speech itself. This is amazing. This goes back to John Milton in the 17th century when he wrote his landmark work,
Starting point is 00:07:09 Aereopagitica. I mean, this is the idea that we would restrict speech, that we have come all these centuries later to where in the United States of America, which enshrined the idea of free speech, in our documents, founding documents, that we are now facing the restriction of speech. So if it weren't for the folks at the lines defending freedom, ladies and gentlemen, no joke. This is not exaggeration. They are fighting for free speech, for parental rights, for religious liberty.
Starting point is 00:07:35 You have to support them. You've just got to do it. So I'm asking you to go to metaxis talk.com. By the way, they're winning. When they fight, they win. So if you support them, you're not supporting, well, it's a noble cause. No, they're actually winning because the Constitution says what it says. And we still have enough judges that are ruling the right way.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Maybe not all of them, but we have enough. They've won over 80% of their cases and they take them often to the Supreme Court. So your gift today, you can go to metaxistalkis talk.com, helps them fight these court battles. It's just, it's amazing. The banner is metaxistock.com right when you go there, you'll see metaxistock.com. You'll see the banner. Or if you prefer to call 855-385-0-5-9-6. I mean, it's unbelievable stuff.
Starting point is 00:08:32 I hardly can believe this happening in America, so I don't want to talk about it anymore. I heard. But I will. Yeah, no, they're doing great work, and it's crazy how many cases they're, you know, spread across. So they're really putting their money where they're making this. Well, I just got to say last night I drove to Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Oh. Yes, one of my children has moved to Brooklyn. That's where the cool kids live. And in the rain, I drove into Brooklyn. Brooklyn to visit this kid. And she lives in Brooklyn. And I had to drive over the Pulaski Skyway. I've heard in traffic reports throughout my life and the Pulaski Skyway, I didn't know it was a real thing. I thought it was made up by traffic reporters. It's a great little bridge has a great view of the city. I have two daughters who sort of live around there too. They're also cooler than we are.
Starting point is 00:09:23 So many of our children live in Brooklyn. So I drove over the Pulaski Skyway. I said, so this is the fabled Pulaski Skyway. Yeah. And then I drove back over the other direction, the Pulaski Sky. So it basically connects Queens and Brooklyn. But once you get over there, you need to have skinny jeans and like a cool mustache. And you got to get a tattoo, like, as soon as you get off the Pulaski Skyway. It's very hip.
Starting point is 00:09:46 It's very hip over there. Otherwise, they look at you like, what are you doing here? You from Queens? So anyway, no, but so all joking aside, we've got some important guests today, and we want to exhort you to go to the Alliance Defending Freedom Banner at Metaxus. Talk.com. And please go to letter to the Americanchurch.com. We appreciate it. God bless you. How do you feel? Well, I feel great.

Starting point is 00:12:20 Hey there, folks. Welcome back. As you know, the Alliance defending freedom is fighting for you. Maybe you didn't know that. They're fighting for you. So as far as I'm concerned, you owe them. Not to put a guilt trip on you, but why not? Because it's actually. true. They are fighting for religious liberty all across this nation. It's why we are thrilled to be this month doing a fundraiser for them because they actually need your help. You can go to metaxis talk.com. Honestly, if you knew what they're doing, you'd want to help them. People often say to me, Eric, what can I do? What can I do? This is the kind of thing you can do and should do if you care about liberty in America, which is going away very quickly.
Starting point is 00:13:12 I was going to say not to scare you, but no, to scare you. It is going away very quickly. And if it were not for the Alliance defending freedom, it would already be gone. Those are not, you know, histrionics. That's actually true. And it's why it's my privilege to try to help ADF raise funds so they can continue doing what they're doing for us, for American Liberty. In fact, today, it's my privilege to have senior counsel with ADF on the program.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Caleb Dalton, welcome. Thanks, Eric, for having me. Appreciate it. Well, listen, we appreciate you guys and what you were doing. You are heroes. We love you. It's why I beg my audience to be generous. Go to Metaxis Talk.com.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Please, folks, you'll see the banner. Please help. This is for all the marbles, as we say. It's not 1985. This is not something in the future. We have to fight right now. So, Caleb, what are some of the cases that ADF is working on just to give my audience a taste of what you guys are up to.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Yeah, thanks, Eric. And you say, we're the heroes. I think our clients are the heroes. So we're representing right now pregnancy resource centers who are out there trying to provide. They provide ultrasounds, free STI testing. They provide diapers, car seats for women in need and in crisis. And we've seen the studies that show when these women have these resources, they choose life. we're able to represent these clinics that are being targeted and harassed by unjust governments.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Okay. I just want to interrupt. You know, folks, this gets very personal for me because there's all these things that matter to me. But my wife, Suzanne, for 12 years in Manhattan, ran the crisis pregnancy center. It's now called a veil. They did God's work. They helped women to choose life. and many children exist today because of the work of avail and because of the work of these pregnancy centers around the country.
Starting point is 00:15:12 If you want to know the level of wickedness in our nation today, these pregnancy centers, they are not just not being helped by those on the left. They're being attacked. They are being attacked. And so, ADF is who you turn to when you're being attacked, your pregnancy center, and you need to figure out how do we survive. That's where we are in America, which is why I get so animated about this. It's mind-blowing, folks.
Starting point is 00:15:44 You need to be part of the solution and go to metaxis talk.com and to give generously today, please. But you were telling us, Caleb, about the details of this case. So what's the name of this, you said, this client? What is the name of this pregnancy center that you guys at ADF are representing right now? So just across the river in New Jersey, the Attorney General there is going after First Choices Pregnancy Resource Center. And what he's doing there, he worked with Planned Parenthood.
Starting point is 00:16:13 We have evidence. He worked with Planned Parenthood to draft these harassing documents against the pregnancy resource center saying, you have to give us all your volunteer information, your donor information. As your wife that ran that pregnancy resource center, can you imagine she has to give all her volunteers information, out, her donor's information out, all of her, all the, this is, it's going after over 10 years of their documents. They have to spend their time doing that instead of serving women. All right. I have to interrupt again. This is, I mean, it's amazing that I'm saying this, that I, that I see this. But if you read my Bonhofer book, this is what the Nazis did.
Starting point is 00:16:55 With every year, they became more aggressive in crushing their energy. So the SS, you know, 1933, 34, they're hanging back. But as soon as they got a little power, they began to target and crush their enemies. That is what's happening in the United States of America today. This is, you said, New Jersey. That's right. Okay. So imagine, folks, there's so many abortions happening in New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:17:23 First Choice sets up says, we want to help women. We want to help them choose life. and the government in New Jersey says, we're going to go after you with everything we have. We're not just going to go after you, you know, on some surface level. We're going to try to get the names of your donors. Now, when I think of how many people I know who have given to pregnancy centers, they want those names.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Now, what are they going to do with those names? Is the FBI going to knock on their doors? This is satanic stuff happening in our time. So what do you do? You turn to the Alliance defending freedom and say, will you please help us? And it's only because you folks out there listening right now give to the Alliance Defending Freedom that they have the ability to help people being attacked. So Caleb Dalton, I have to say I'm amazed to hear of the vicious aggressiveness of the leftist pro-abortion state of the government in New Jersey going to these lengths. but keep talking because this is, we need to know what is happening.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Otherwise, people will do nothing. So please keep going. That's right. I can tell you exactly what they do with that information because the Attorney General in Washington State did the same thing to Obria Pregnancy Resource Centers there. And what they did with that information, they started sending subpoenas to contractors that Obria worked with to harass them. So they are using a totalitarian tactic to harass not only the pregnancy,
Starting point is 00:18:57 resource centers, but any contractors that worked with them. And I want to say this is the whole thing is that what they do, it might not be legal. Now, folks, listen to this. It might not be legal. It might not be constitutional. They don't care. If they can get away with it, they do it. And so if the Alliance Defending Freedom didn't come in now to push back legally and to force
Starting point is 00:19:21 them to back off if it's possible, they would just keep coming. This is what happened in Colorado with Jack Phillips. and the masterpiece cake shop, it's happening all across America. They're doing whatever they can get away with. That's the key. Whatever they can get away with. And the only way we can stop them is by pushing back, by going to the Alliance Defending Freedom and saying,
Starting point is 00:19:44 we need to take them to court, we need to fight in the court, we need brilliant lawyers to make it clear that this is not constitutional, that this violates their rights. If ADF doesn't do that, they will just keep coming. And this is, you just say, Senate, Caleb, these are totalitarian tactics. So this is a wake-up call for the American Church. I keep saying this because I wrote my book letter to the American Church, and we made the film letter to the American Church. This is happening now. It is happening right now,
Starting point is 00:20:12 and it's why people say, what can I do? You can give to the Alliance Defending Freedom. Metaxus talk.com is the website. So, Caleb, this is disturbing. Keep going, keep spelling out what is happening in this particular case with first choices in New Jersey. So the district court there, the judge, on his own, without even being asked, dismissed that case. And that's why we have it brought up to the Supreme Court right now because he said, even though you're being harassed, you don't actually have a real First Amendment harm yet. And that is incorrect as a matter of law. And it's an injustice. That's why we brought it up to the Supreme Court.
Starting point is 00:20:46 We're asking the court to reinstate that case. And to say, no, you can't use the power of the government to harass people that you disagree with. This is something fundamental that every American should agree with. Ronald Reagan said we don't pass freedom on in our bloodstream, right? We have to fight for it every day. And that's what we're doing. We're fighting for that freedom for these resource centers, but even for people who disagree with us. The government shouldn't have the power to come after and harass individuals or organizations that it disagrees with.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Whether you agree with our clients or not, that's fundamentally a freedom that all Americans should have, and we can't lose that. I mean, it's so incredible. The left in America has thrown away the rule of law. They've thrown away the Constitution. Now, I've got to be honest, if the right is doing this, I and those I know who love the Constitution would object on principle. Because on principle, this is wrong. They're not even going about what they're doing fairly so that you could say, well, we have differences of opinions. No, they've thrown away the rulebook. They've thrown away the Constitution. They do not care. And this is why if we don't fight back, It's over. So folks, I don't know how more dramatically I can put it. This is up to us, right? This is up to the American church in particular. You say you care about the unborn. Well, you've got to prove it.
Starting point is 00:22:06 You've got to take action. One of the ways you can do that, go to metaxis talk.com. Please help them. They're doing God's work, but we have to help them. You have to go. If you don't go to Metaxistock.com, I can give you a phone number. if you prefer to call metaxistock.com, the banner is there. Give generously. I say anybody who can give $15,000. Now, most people can't give $100 or give what you can, but anybody give $15,000. I will volunteer my evening. We'll get together and have dinner.
Starting point is 00:22:37 We can figure out whatever you want to do. I just put that out there because one thing I can do is give of my time. But metaxis talk.com is the website. You can call 855-385-0-5-96. Metaxistock.com or dial 855-385-0-5-96. I'll say it again. You can dial it now, and I beg you to do it. 855-385-0-5-9-6. God bless you as you give.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Hey folks, there's nothing worse than hearing about people living in pain, which is why I want to tell you about Keith from Washington and his relief factor story. After years of activity from college football to running a martial art studio at age 51, Keith's body felt like it was wearing out. So he gave relief factor a try. Keith says he now has little to no pain in his knees and highly reduced neck pain. feeling so much better, he pursued a second-degree black belt. Folks, I use Relief Factor. When I forget about it, you know, I go on a trip or something, I notice it. I go for a run and I have back pain. It works for me.
Starting point is 00:23:48 I recommend it highly to everyone I can. So if you're living with aches and pains, relief factor every day. It's a drug-free supplement developed by doctors. It's helped so many people take back their lives. You've got to go to Relief Factor for their three-week quick. start kit, only 1995. Think of this. They're taking a loss because they believe you'll be back. Visit relieffactor.com or call 1-800 for relief. That's 1-800, the number four relief. Relieffactor.com. How do you feel? Well, I feel great. One of the reasons I believe I feel better is because I take
Starting point is 00:24:21 Balance of Nature's fruits and veggies in a capsule. They've got an amazing story of how this product was developed by Dr. Douglas Howard. It's right there on their website. Balance of Nature receives over a thousand success stories every single month. They have hundreds of thousands of customers who purchased billions of capsules of their fruits and veggies over the past 20 years, you should check it all out on their website. Their products are gluten-free and non-GMO, and they contain no added sugars or synthetics. I think if you're looking for something to make you feel better, naturally, you should
Starting point is 00:24:48 definitely give balance of nature a try. In fact, order today, whether you order online or call them direct. You must use the promo code Eric to get the special offer of 35% off. Call them at 800-2468-751. Use discount code Eric or order online at balance of nature.com. Use discount code Eric to get 35% off. Again, the number 800, 2468, 751. Use discount code Eric or balance of nature.com.
Starting point is 00:25:17 It's not you know I couldn't sleep. Hey folks, it's my privilege to continue a conversation with Caleb Dalton. He's a senior council with the Alliance Defending Freedom. I will say it again and again and again. Alliance Defending Freedom are heroes because they represent other heroes who have no recourse who are being attacked by overreaching big government entities that hate our liberties. I mean, we are in a war for our liberties. And right now we're talking about a war that concerns not just our liberties,
Starting point is 00:25:57 but the very lives of unborn human beings. We have to step up and help the alliance defending freedom, because without them, it's over. You were just saying, Caleb, that first choices in New Jersey, they've been attacked by it's Governor Murphy, is it? The Attorney General Placken. The Attorney General, okay. In New Jersey, and so you guys bring a case, and it's dismissed.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Like basically the court says, nah, no, we don't think so. We don't care. So you have to appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States. Is that right? That's right. It's really unconscionable. The Attorney General didn't even ask for the case to be dismissed. The judge did it on it.
Starting point is 00:26:40 on his own. And so what we have here are resource centers who are doing God's work, protecting, providing for women who are literally saving babies' lives, like you said, and they're being harassed by the attorney general. So we're asking the Supreme Court to reinstate that case and allow it to go forward to prevent this harassment across the board. This is something we're seeing all over the country. Well, listen, I have been sued. I can't talk about that on the air. But those on the left, the secular left, they have become dramatically aggressive. And if those who disagree with them are not aggressive in fighting them, we lose. It's no longer a happy day where, you know, we have people advocating on this side and that side,
Starting point is 00:27:29 and we'll figure it out. No, they are being as radical as they can in stripping away what the founders gave us in our founding documents. They are stripping them away. And when I think of the Patriots who died, if you're listening to this program, you did not die for this country. But patriots have died for this country and for the Constitution. And we owe them everything to preserve what they bequeathed to us. And it's why we partner with the Alliance Defending Freedom. They are on the front lines battling.
Starting point is 00:28:08 So Caleb Dalton, you're telling us that this court in New Jersey dismisses the case. And again, when you hear the details of it, you think this is pretty obvious overreach. This is horrifying. This is an attempt to terrorize people into silence, to get them to back away from doing what they're doing, to threaten people who work with this pregnancy center, just to get people to say, okay, well, we'll just back off. So you have to fight. It's wrong.
Starting point is 00:28:38 You're bringing this now to the Supreme Court. So when was that decision made that you had to take this up to the Supreme Court? It was literally just a few weeks ago that this has been such a rush, kind of a whirlwind of litigation. We had to file an emergency petition with the Court of Appeals. That was denied and then up to the Supreme Court. It takes a lot of resources. And I just want to say, Eric, thank you to you for doing this and for bringing attention to this. Because I get to come to work every day.
Starting point is 00:29:05 We represent these resource centers for free. We don't charge them anything. They couldn't afford to pay attorney's fees for something like this because it's about freedom that we're fighting for for all Americans. And folks, think of the corruption. Think of the corruption. Planned Parenthood and others have a lot of money. They make money from killing children in the womb. They make money.
Starting point is 00:29:28 They are for profit. And then they take that money and they, you know what, they give to campaigns of people like the folks we're talking about in New Jersey. They give to their campaign. Will you play ball with us? Will you help us to keep doing what we're doing for women's reproductive health, which is actually killing children in the womb? Will you help us? And then you get the Attorney General in New Jersey. He's willing to play ball. He's willing to go hard to be aggressive. The Attorney General in California, Kamala Harris, did some of the most vicious things to David Delighton. He's been on this program. He's advocating for women. He's advocating for the unborn. Kamala Harris, when she was the Attorney General,
Starting point is 00:30:12 we think of her as an utterly bubble-headed, blithering fool. And yet, she did very wicked things. She's not merely a bubble-headed, blithering fool, although I'm sorry to say she is that, but she's also been a force for evil, trying to crush people protecting the unborn, doing the most aggressive things against people that you would consider them heroes if you're listening to this program. And so it's, forgive me for stating it so bluntly, but these are wicked figures working hard with money supplied to them by folks like Planned Parenthood to crush our religious liberties and to crush people into silence.
Starting point is 00:30:57 David Delighton is just one of the great heroes in America, one of the great pro-life heroes. Kamala Harris, as Attorney General in California, came after him viciously, folks. You have to understand how vicious. These people are not playing fairly. They are vicious. They want to win. We have to fight back. And so, honestly, it's just my privilege to have an audience, Caleb, that cares about this.
Starting point is 00:31:22 That's why I speak so strongly because they understand this is for all the marbles, that if we do not fight against this evil, it's over. It's over. We lose the ability to protect the unborn. Even think about it. Think about pregnancy centers. They're doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. This is nonprofit.
Starting point is 00:31:40 They don't make a dime. My wife did this for 12 years. You don't make a dime. You're doing this because it's right. And they're trying to crush you for doing God's work. So I want to say, please go to metaxis talk.com. You'll see the banner. I ask you to give generously.

We have a new friend on the Eric Metaxa show. That is the Americans for prosperity. If they're Americans for prosperity, I think you know by definition, they are not Americans for Joe Biden. And there's kind of a funny story that goes along with that. So my guest today is Kent Strang with Americans for Prosperity. First of all, Kent, welcome. Yeah, thank you for having me on
Starting point is 00:34:54 today. I really appreciate it. Well, listen, you guys have done something, I don't know, this is really up my alley. excited to talk about this when I heard about this, that the website, Bidinomics.com. There's that, folks, there's a website Bidynamics.com. And you guys at the Americans for Prosperity, tell the story, Kent. This is so great. Well, right. Well, you would think that with all the millennials and Gen Z folks in the Biden administration
Starting point is 00:35:26 who lived their life online would, when they coined the phrase, Bidenomics to talk about President Biden's failed economic agenda that they might think about buying the website too that's Bidenomics.com, but apparently somebody in the White House missed it. They're smoking a lot of weed. These young people are smoking a lot of weed. They're distracted. And you know what happens? That opens a door for people who are not smoking a lot of weed to jump in and to buy the website, Bidenomics.com. Correct me from wrong, but Americans for prosperity. You bought the website, Bidenomics.com. We're not making this up. You did it. No. Yeah, we bought the website because, and we thought right before the state of the union,
Starting point is 00:36:11 when President Biden is going to try to push out all the great things that he's done, and we wanted to show the rhetoric versus the reality and give your listeners and the American people an opportunity to say, what is Bidenomics? Are these things true that he says and be able to have a clear line of facts and figures and testimonials and stories about what Bidenomics is really doing the American people, and it's not pretty. Well, so this is the beauty of it, folks, in case you're not tracking. If you go to bidanomics.com and you should, you will see not propaganda being put out by the leftist maniacs who are in the White House, but you will see actual facts.
Starting point is 00:36:58 about the American economy because the Americans for prosperity have wisely bought the website, Bidenomics.com. So if people go to Bidenomics.com, Kent, what will they find there? What are the facts about this American economy in free fall? And by the way, you don't need to take my word for it. If you buy things in America, you already know. But if you want the actual facts, so you don't think, oh, it's just me and you go to Bidenomics.com, what will people find there? Well, I think what you're going to hear are the go-to lines that President Biden uses to describe his economy and then a very clear articulation of why those things are not true. But in addition to the stats and the facts and the figures that we can throw out to show that,
Starting point is 00:37:44 at Americans for Prosperity, we have state chapters all across the country, permanent grassroots infrastructure where we've been hosting over the last two years, events highlighting the failures of President Biden's economy. we've been doing discounts at gas stations, at grocery stores, at diners, at coffee shops, because regardless of what the facts and the figures are, people are feeling the pain of this administration and the failed policies of Biden, the average American household right now spends $11,400 more per year just to maintain their lifestyle since Biden took office. I mean, okay, that's unbelievable because we're only talking three years.
Starting point is 00:38:23 11,000. This is the average in America. Folks, if you want metrics on how bad things are, not just anecdotal, like, things are horrible. Yes, they are, but now you want facts. We just got one from Kent Strang at the Americans for Prosperity, and you can read it at bidnomics.com. More than $11,000 more per family in the last three years. That's a staggering figure, I have to say, that for your average American family, That is a staggering figure. And it would lead me to believe that Biden will be crushed in November if we have a fair election.
Starting point is 00:39:02 And if people go to the polls, when you vote, just vote your pocketbook. There's a million horrible things happening. But just this is staggering stuff. I mean, so what else will we find at bidnomics.com? Well, I think also about the testimonials, the real people that we run into at these events. And we're talking to retirees who are going back to work. We're talking to single moms who are choosing between gas and groceries. I met a woman named Nikki in Indiana a while back who was a foster mom and her daughter had passed away.
Starting point is 00:39:33 And so she was raising her grandkids. And she said, you know, every week I make a decision of how much gas do I put in my tank to ensure that I have enough to feed my family? People are especially low-income folks and middle-income folks and retirees are really getting crushed by Bidenomics. because, again, that $11,400, that's just to maintain your lifestyle. And so Bidenomics is crushing Americans economically. They're filling it at the gas station, at the grocery store. Everywhere you go, things are more expensive. And this administration wants to blame everyone all the time,
Starting point is 00:40:07 except for the big spenders in Congress and Joe Biden's bad policies for why costs or higher. Well, this is what's staggering to me. And again, it's why I have such contempt for the Biden administration. is that they actually lie. You know, it's one thing we've always seen politicians shade the truth or give their point of view or highlight certain things over other things. But this administration is actually lying.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Things are very, very bad. Almost all Americans know that. They feel that. They're anxious about it. And you have Joe Biden actually saying with a straight face, things are good. The economy is good. The facts.
Starting point is 00:40:49 are different. I mean, it's not just what you feel, folks, but you actually look at the facts. It's like, guess what? The facts are dramatically different. Go to bidinomics.com and you can see what they are. Just a few seconds left in this segment. What are some other metrics that people can find at binomics.com before we go. To that point of like what the American people are feeling, an Axios article had that 59% of Americans feel angry or anxious when shopping for groceries. And again, we can give all the facts and facts and figures that we want, but the reality is what do the American people feel? And Americans for Prosperity, we're talking to them every single day. Well, it's just amazing to me.
Starting point is 00:41:28 I want to just highlight folks in case you are tuning in a little later in this segment, Americans for Prosperity bought the website, Bidinomics.com. And that's funny for many reasons. One reason is when you go to Bidonomics.com, you're going to be shocked to find truth there, which you wouldn't normally expect at something called Bidenomics.com. The second thing is that the slackers in the Biden administration,
Starting point is 00:41:55 they're so pathetic that they allowed Bidenomics.com to be available for people who actually care about the truth to buy it. So if you go to Bidenomics.com, you will find actual facts and figures about the American economy. We'll be back with more with Kent Strang with the Americans for prosperity, but go to Bidenomics.com in the meantime.
Starting point is 00:42:16 economics.com. Folks, welcome back. I'm talking with our new friends at Americans for Prosperity. Kent Strang is my guest. They have bought the website. This is the headline. They bought the website, Bidenomics.com.
Starting point is 00:42:40 I find this hilarious because when you go to bidanomics.com, and I hope you do, and I hope you spread this on the internet in your social media, you will find actual facts, not gaslighting lunatic lies being pushed, by the Biden administration so they can get your vote in the fall. But the actual facts of why you feel pain at the gas pump and in the grocery line, yes, you're not alone.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Here are the facts at bidonomics.com. So Kent Strang, what are some of the other facts that we can put out there, things that people would find at bidonomics.com when they go to bidonomics.com? Well, the president claims that prices are down. Well, that's not true. Prices are up 18 percent since he took office. Wait, you're saying the president is lying? Wow.
Starting point is 00:43:30 He's certainly not being forward with us, right? Why would he do that? But actually, you're saying that he is saying the opposite of what you know to be true. He's saying that. Yeah, technically that's called lying. And I think most people in my audience would say that's wrong. But please keep going. We mentioned before that Americans pay $11,400 more since President Biden took office.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Real wages are down, even though. though he claims that wages are up. He talks about deficits. There's two trillion more in deficit spending. This administration and Biden's allies in Congress have spent $5.5 trillion in new spending. Debt is at $34 trillion. And all the things we need to live and a lifestyle of just meaning of our gas, our groceries, our energy, everything is up across the board. Bidenomics has been a disaster. So tonight, when he tries to tell you about it at the state of the union address and about how great his economy is, please take a moment, visit Bidenomics.com to fact check what he's saying. Share it with your friends, share it online. And we'd love to have you visit the site and learn more about it, the reality of Bidenomics.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Bidenomics.com. But I think what, again, what's funny, Kent, is that, you know, if you want evidence of how pathetic the Biden administration is, the very idea that they allowed Bidonomics.com to be hanging out there open so that people who actually believe in American freedom and prosperity could go and buy that website. It says it all. These folks are not just evil. They're incompetent. And I don't know where the lines blur between evil and incompetence because what they're doing is harming Americans. If you're an American, we've just heard it and it's at Bidonomics.com, that you're average. family is spending $11,400 more under Joe Biden. That much more. It's not incremental. $11,400 more since Biden took office to stay in the same place.
Starting point is 00:45:39 Where do you get that money from? This is what most Americans are trying to figure out. And we know that, you know, what you're putting at bidonomics.com, we expected it to be filled with propaganda. But no, it was bought by people who actually. believe in the truth and not lying. And so you have all of these facts there that people who are listening when you go there, you can share these facts, share the website. What are some other metrics that we can find at bidonomics.com? Sure. It's going to go through normally his saying,
Starting point is 00:46:10 growing the economy from the bottom up and the middle out. We're going to dispel that. He talks about wages. We're going to dispel that. He's going to talk about energy. We're going to dispel that. So really, the website is just a fact check of Biden's rhetoric versus what is the reality that Americans are feeling. And also there are testimonials from real Americans who are struggling in this economy that you can watch. There are opportunities to take action and sign up and get more information from Americans for Prosperity.
Starting point is 00:46:36 As we toured the country holding events to hold Biden and his allies in Congress who racked up debt and inflation, we're going to hold them accountable. And Bidenomics is part of that effort. I love it. Kent Strang with Americans for Prosperity. Thank you so much, folks. check out bidanomics.com.
