Do You Believe Them? SCOTUS Claims They Can’t Find Dobbs Leaker

19 Jan 2023

In a historically unprecedented betrayal of trust, someone leaked an advance decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization of 2021. Despite the damage that did to the Supreme Court — not to mention violations of the law — we’re to believe that nobody can figure out who handed over this secret information to Politico.

The Supreme Court’s report indicates that they cannot isolate the culprit among the over 80 possible suspects for the Dobbs leak. It is an admission that is almost as chilling as the leak itself…

George Santos Lied? What About Biden, Blumenthal and Warren?

19 Jan 2023

Democrats are clutching pearls over the absurd lies of Congressman George Santos of Long Island, while ignoring the repeated lies of Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren’s debunked claim to be a Cherokee, and Dick Blumenthal in Connecticut. That president and those two senators both lied to advance their careers. Maybe they should all go?

Amazing how quickly George Santos got those planes back in the air

Well done, George

— Buck Sexton (@BuckSexton) January 11, 2023

With Kevin McCarthy giving oversight power to election deniers, it’s perhaps fitting that the comically dishonest George Santos is also landing a few committee seats.

We’re $31 Trillion in Debt, Meanwhile Bloated Al Gore Pounds the Table Over Weather

19 Jan 2023

Well, the United States has hit the debt limit again. We’re over $31 Trillion in debt. Spoiler alert: The country won’t default, but this will set up a big fight on Capitol Hill. Let’s hope Republicans take a stand and try to cut back on this ludicrous spending.

At $31.5 trillion, USA’s debt to GDP ratio is 121%. It was under 60% at the beginning of this century.

Indiana Rep. Jim Banks on His Decision to Run for Senate

18 Jan 2023

CLAY: We are joined now by Representative Jim Banks, congressman from Indiana’s third Congressional District, just announced that he is a Senate candidate. Jim, appreciate you giving us the time here. I know you’ve been a high-ranking member of the Republicans in the House for a decent amount of time now. What was it for you that making the decision to run for the Senate was right for you and your family in the state of Indiana?

REP. BANKS: Yeah, Well, good to be with you. You know, I’ve served in the House. I just started my fourth term. I’ve been the chairman of the largest conservative caucus. I’ve been on the front lines of fighting for the America First agenda over the last six years. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been so frustrated while we’re fighting the fight in the House. I look over at the Senate; I don’t see enough of a fight.

And as Mike Braun, our current senator, announced he’s running for governor of Indiana, it opened up the Senate seat. My wife and I prayed about it, talked to our friends and our family about it. We just feel like Indiana is a conservative state. Indiana deserves a conservative fighter in the Senate to fight for Hoosier families and that’s what I want to go do. Shake it up. We need a new generation of conservative leaders in the Senate, and I want to be a part of it.

BUCK: Congressman, appreciate your being with us. You know, there was obviously a lot of back and forth with Kevin McCarthy and trying to figure out who the speaker of the House should be. And it seems that they’ve reached this accommodation. And from what I can tell so far, it looks like things are off to a pretty good start, even for those who perhaps had been previously skeptical of McCarthy’s leadership. There are some good things that are happening, some good votes that are ongoing. Is that the right read? Am I catching that the right way? And are you expecting more of that?

REP. BANKS: Yeah, I think that’s exactly right. I’ve told people every day since that what happened on the floor, 15 votes that led to Kevin McCarthy being speaker had a lot less to do with Kevin McCarthy and a lot more to do with Nancy Pelosi. Republicans are unified in recognizing that we can’t ever allow a speaker to have that much power again, who abuses his or her power with the gavel in their hands that runs over the rest of us. And at the end of the 15 speaker votes, that tumultuous week, the healthy outcome of it is that the rules changes that came out of it empowers rank and file members like me that come from places like Fort Wayne, Indiana, elected by my voters to go to Washington and serve them.

I now have more power in my hands to offer amendments on the floor. I now have the ability to read a bill at least 72 hours before I’m supposed to vote on it. Those simple rules changes came out of the week. It empowers members and it allows us to do what we’re supposed to deliver on the promises that we made. And let me let me finish by saying this last week we began something last week that I think will be a legacy of this Republican majority in the House.

And one of the things that I want to go over to the Senate and focus on, too, and that’s creating a select committee on China for the first time, recognizing that China is our greatest threat economically, militarily. And we created a committee that’s devoted to focusing on the threat and restoring America’s strength to combat the threat of China. I see that fight going on in the House. I don’t see it going on enough in the Senate. And that’s why I want to go be a senator and focus on what China is doing, their strategy to dominate America, change our way of life and fight back against it. We need more fighters in the Senate doing that.

This Congress, I will create the first ever Anti-Woke Caucus.

Read my @theammind op-ed about what Congress must do in the fight against wokeism👇https://t.co/jUC3WKGoqV

— Jim Banks (@RepJimBanks) January 13, 2023

CLAY: Jim, one thing that you guys have already done in the House is ended the covid shot mandate for military. And you are in the military yourself. You’re a lieutenant in the Navy. How frustrating is it to you that anyone lost their job at all in the military over their refusal to get the covid shot? Should those people get their jobs back now, potentially with back pay in your mind? And if so, how does that happen?

REP. BANKS: Yeah, this is so important. I served in Afghanistan. I wore the uniform. Proudest moment in my life. I know. You know what that means. So, I and I’m going to lead the subcommittee of the effort in the House of Representatives on the Armed Services Committee that I serve to make sure that our troops who were separated and punished for not taking a highly politicized vaccine, that they get the opportunity to come back and wear the uniform again. So, this Republican majority is devoted to that. I mean, ending the vaccine mandate was the first step.

We saved something like 60-something-thousand plus troops that are being threatened with being separated for not taking the vaccine. But there are still several thousand. There are thousands of troops who were separated, who were punished. We got to give them a pathway back to serve our country again. And on top of that, you look at the all of the branches are way off their recruiting marks. And I think the vaccine mandate was a part of it but I think a bigger part of it is wokeism in the military. And I’ve tangled with General Milley, some of our top military officials, in the House Armed Services Committee hearing room over this subject.

Wokeness is a cancer that will eat America from inside out if we don’t uproot it. I started the first ever Anti-woke caucus so we can get to work. pic.twitter.com/tFUY4y42dw

— Jim Banks (@RepJimBanks) January 15, 2023

When the top admiral in the United — the CNO, the top admiral in the United States Navy — tells our troops to read books written by Ibram X. Kendi that teaches them that America is evil and inherently racist, which is actually the anti-racist movement, which is in and of itself very racist and anti-American. That’s not sustainable for our country and the recruitment numbers prove it. How do we inspire the next generation to do what I did? I’ve raised my right hand and taken an oath to serve and protect my country, maybe even pay the ultimate sacrifice when I go to Afghanistan to serve. How do we inspire the next generation to do that? At the same time, we’re telling them that America is inherently racist, evil, and not worth dying for. That’s not sustainable for our country. We’ve got to fight back against it.

BUCK: We’re speaking to Congressman Jim Banks of Indiana. Congressman, one more for you here. U.S. is going to hit the national debt limit tomorrow. Is this going to turn into anything? What are your thoughts on whether we should talk about this more or have a fight over it? You tell me.

REP. BANKS: Yeah, it better turn into something because we’re at a point where we don’t have a choice. We have to restore America’s fiscal health, address a $32 trillion national debt. And let me tell you, I’m running for the United States Senate because there are way too many Republicans who are a go-along-to-get-along, that roll over in times like this. And we don’t we can’t roll over again. We have to… In the House, we have the majority, we have to use it. We have to use the debt limit as a leverage point to restore fiscal responsibility in this country.

Any amount you can contribute makes a difference in our fight to represent Hoosiers’ conservative values in the U.S. Senate.

You can pitch in here: https://t.co/ESEun8iHsq

— Jim Banks (@Jim_Banks) January 18, 2023

But I don’t see that fight enough in the Senate among a lot of my Republican colleagues over there who are fighting back against massive spending bills and using the debt limit as a time of leverage. That’s why I’m running for the Senate. Go to BanksForSenate.com, help me out. The establishment’s already trying to find somebody to run against me. I’ve got a proven conservative, fiscal conservative track record. I just believe strongly that we need more conservative fighters in the Senate. That’s why I’m running.

BUCK: Congressman Banks, appreciate you being with us, sir. Good luck to you. We’ll talk to you as this Senate battle unfolds.

REP. BANKS: Thank you. Have a good day.

Former Marine and Author Chad Robichaux Talks “Saving Aziz”

18 Jan 2023

CLAY: We’re joined now by Chad Robichaux, former Force Recon Marine and Aziz — an interpreter he rescued from Afghanistan — inspiring a new book, Saving Aziz: How the Mission to Help One Became a Calling to Rescue Thousands from the Taliban. Also, Save Our Allies has been founded by Chad, a nonprofit that evacuated 17,000 people from Afghanistan. Currently operates in Ukraine as well. Chad and Aziz are in our New York City studio right now. We appreciate you guys being here. And, Chad, I will start with you. Many people, I think, have forgotten about the chaos that came with our evacuation from Afghanistan. But since we left there, there are reports that thousands of people who have connections to America — who’ve worked for American soldiers — are still stuck behind in Afghanistan. What have you seen and what can you tell us about the situation on the ground in Afghanistan right now?

If you haven’t, pre-order your copy of my #1 New Release #SavingAziz. This book outlines the calling I had to rescue my long-time interpreter Aziz and his family from Afghanistan following the US withdrawal last August 2021.

Go to https://t.co/DdjLKfZGWe to order your copy now!! pic.twitter.com/zYwPMEYY5J

— Chad Robichaux (@ChadRobo) December 15, 2022

ROBICHAUX: Yeah, unfortunately, I don’t believe this is… Not by accident that it’s been not just forgotten but swept under the rug and the mainstream media has really been reluctant to report on it. And I think the White House has done everything they could to hide this story. We still have 75,000 of our interpreters that are qualified for SIV, Special Immigrant Visa, program and not only qualify, but were promised by our government for their service to us for 20 years. They’re still in Afghanistan as well as other lily pad countries around the world.

In addition to that, we have their family members and each of them are vulnerable. You’re talking about 300,000 people that have served the American effort in Afghanistan and all of them are vulnerable. They’re being systematically hunted down, pulled out of their homes at night, beaten, tortured, killed, and executed for their service to our country. And, you know, we have a State Department is refusing to acknowledge it and to do the right thing. And it’s still happening every day.

And meanwhile, you know, we have 40 million Afghan residents, 20 million women that are being sexually enslaved, dealing with, you know, Sharia law. Not the Taliban 2.0, but the same old brutal, you know, Daesh terrorists that they are who are who are marrying off 9-year-old girls and 11-year-old girls for a few hundred bucks, taking advantage of the… They’re starving their people to make them desperate, who just last week took away women’s medical rights by saying that women are allowed to see male doctors, but they’re not allowed to be doctors. They’re not allowed to be educated, and so the whole thing is just terrible. And the fact that the White House has done such an effective job of making this go away is more the reason why I want this book out, Saving Aziz, so people know the truth.

BUCK: Hey, Chad, it’s Buck. Really appreciate you joining us. And thank you for your service, sir. What would you like to see the Biden administration do? I mean, if you could get a sit down with Biden and, you know, top national security apparatus folks, what do you think is the path forward if they were to get serious and engage on this issue and keep the word of the American government that was given to those who were helping people like you who were serving our country in uniform in Afghanistan?

ROBICHAUX: Yeah, look, it’s a really good question. You know, first of all, you’re not asking a question; it goes in hindsight. But I have to say, the American people were lied to and said that that we were in a 20-year war. “We’re in an endless war. We have to end this war; we have to get out,” and I think everyone really believed that. But the truth is that that’s a lie. And it’s not consistent with historical successes of military strategy in the United States. We had 2,500 troops to 4,000 troops in Afghanistan and in 2018, we stopped participating in a conventional fight against Taliban, and we started a support-and-advisory role with the Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police.

And the entire international community was participating at Bagram Air Force Base — the most strategic place in the globe between Iraq, Iran, Russia, and China — and for us to give that up, for saying we have to move out 20,000 of our 104,000 troops. Meanwhile, we have 80,000 troops in Japan and 40,000 troops in Germany since World War Two, with 35 troops in South Korea since World War Two. These contingencies keep the world safe and make us and keep us out of future wars. And we were… We didn’t negotiate with our international allies. We didn’t negotiate with NATO. We didn’t negotiate with the Afghan government we put in place for 20 years.

We only negotiated with the Taliban and handed our — handed that strategic location over to the Taliban without supporting the Afghan government we put in place, and it created a complete collapse. So, to answer your question right now, it’s very difficult to do the right thing because of the situation that was created. I think the only thing that could be done now is for the State Department to have a clear process for SAV applicants, for P1/P2 visas that qualify for a pathway to citizenship based on their service to America.

But then you put your poor, you forced in a situation now where there is no U.S. embassy in Afghanistan. There is no consulate for them to go to apply for visas. They have to go to the Taliban and basically surrender themselves as the enemy of the state of the Taliban and surrender themselves in order to try to get to America. So, you know, it’s tough to answer that question, Buck, and it’s a good question. But, you know, we… This administration has put us in this situation to where it’s almost unrecoverable.

CLAY: Chad, I know there’s many reasons you’re doing what you are doing for the people left behind in Afghanistan. But also, Aziz — who was sitting with you right now — saved your life. What is that story?

ROBICHAUX: Well, I mean, you know, I was very fortunate. As a Force Recon Marine, I was selected to go be part of JSOC task force — a Joint Special Operations Command task force — and part of that role was working in a single capacity meeting by myself and going out ahead of my unit to build the clandestine infrastructure, to put our soldiers on target to capture or kill bad guys. And in doing that, I was assigned to a local national, which was Iziz. He was my interpreter — eventually vetted, trained, polygraphed to become my teammate, my sole teammate.

And in, you know, through eight deployments — which we did together to keep the continuity — he became my friend. He saved my life multiple times. He probably saved my life every day, like, “Don’t walk there. Don’t eat that. Don’t talk to that person. If you talk right now, they’re going to kill us.” Like, he saved my life every day. And when we got done operating in the mountains of Afghanistan or across the border in Pakistan, I didn’t go to base and he went home. I went home with him. Our first hot meal I had that’s called mountains was by his wife, Hatra, and then I was there when Mashood and Mashooda, his oldest son and daughter, were born, and I held them as babies.

I’m so glad that the story of Saving Aziz is getting out there. It’s very humbling and I’m so excited for everyone to read the story for themselves! 🙌🏼

Remember, it doesn’t have to be worth it to do the right thing — just do it! pic.twitter.com/kZdrRWtVIY

— Chad Robichaux (@ChadRobo) January 17, 2023

Like, he’s family to me, and so to leave him there during their withdrawal was something I could never have lived with. I mean, I had to go and help him. We put it small team together to go — originally to just go — and get Aziz, and as you’re putting his team together — you know, most incredible special operations guys that I knew and veterans I trusted, about twelve of us — one of us pointed out a really great good point, that I was being a little selfish to go get my friend it. There were other people, other interpreters, American citizens — women, children, Christians that’d be persecuted — that needed help, too, and we made a decision in that moment. I believe… We’re all pretty strong people of faith. We believe that God was really just burdening our hearts to do the right thing and help these people and we made a decision to be obedient to that burden and say yes to go. And then and beyond that, we… I believe we witnessed a divine miracle happen in the next three days that made it possible to not just rescue Aziz and his family, but 70,000 people.

BUCK: The book is Saving Aziz: How the Mission to Help One Became a Calling to Rescue Thousands from the Taliban. Author Chad Robichaux, former recon Marine. Chad, we appreciate you, sir. Thank you for being with us.

ROBICHAUX: Absolutely.

CLAY: Thanks to Aziz as well. Appreciate you guys being in-studio.
