Economic War Room

Where was China's leader the day that Janet Yellen arrived in Beijing to try to re-establish communication? Well, he was visiting the People's Liberation Army's Eastern Theater Command. The Eastern Theater Command is the one that is going to lead the attack on Taiwan. He was telling the soldiers there that they need to have breakthroughs in preparedness. It was another of his "let's go to war" speeches. Noted author and China expert Gordon Chang joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss the escalating threats of China's war talk and what must be done to counter it. @ EconomicWarRoom

Once upon a time, the FBI and the CIA fought America’s enemies at home and abroad. Now they are tools of a growing police state, attacking the Left’s political enemies and spying on ordinary American citizens — even parents who push back against radical public schools. How did we get here? J. Michael Waller joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to talk about the reasons the Intelligence Community has drifted from its founding purposes and what should be done about it. @EconomicWarRoom

BlazeTV host and best-selling author Steve Deace joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss Steve's recent health scare and what he learned about the source of the research behind the COVID-19 shutdowns and more. They also talk about the two things America needs to do to return to prosperity. @ EconomicWarRoom

Have you heard about the controversy over "Sound of Freedom"? That's one of this year's top-performing movies. It touches on a subject that the elite don't like: human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of children. But unless you were paying attention, you probably never even knew that it was made, let alone released. But it's not the only film that makes the ruling elite nervous. Our friends Matt and Joy Thayer with Speropictures have made a beautiful movie titled "The Trump I Know," with interviews from those closest to the most controversial figure of our time, Donald Trump. You'd think Americans would be curious. What's he really like if he's such a monster? Shouldn't we know? But like "Sound of Freedom," this movie has been demonized and vilified. Worse, however, it's been canceled. So you haven't even been given the opportunity to see it or decide for yourself. We've invited Matt and Joy back to the Economic War Room to share about the movie that they made and why they believe the elite hate it so much.

There's a Greek myth. It's the myth of Cassandra. She was the daughter of King Troy, and she was given this amazing prophetic gift. Everything she saw happen going to happen actually did happen. But she rejected the romance of Apollo. And so he cursed her to be accurate in her prophecy, but never believed. Kevin Freeman has unfortunately be right on his documented Casandra-like predictions of the 2008 economic collapse and more recently his 2021 forecasting of the coming inflationary cliff we are facing today. Join Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room as he reveals 10 serious economic issues along with solutions to these critical financial concerns. @ EconomicWarRoom

The Buckeye Institute's Rea Hederman Jr. has released a report titled "Net Zero Climate Control Policies Will Fail the Farm," detailing the negative impact such policies will have on American agriculture and food prices. Hederman emphasizes that adherence to the Paris Climate Accords and the adoption of ESG mandates will lead to increased operating costs for farmers, estimated at an additional $65,000 per farm annually, and a corresponding rise in annual grocery bills for families by approximately $1,300. Citing real-world examples such as Sri Lanka, where similar policies resulted in doubled food prices and widespread shortages, the report warns of similar consequences in the U.S. The Buckeye Institute recommends withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accords, revoking funding and tax credits related to net zero policies, building anti-ESG coalitions, and promoting education over government mandates for sustainable farming. Hederman describes these policies as an economic war on farmers and urges the adoption of market-driven solutions over top-down governmental control. @EconomicWarRoom

Carla Sands, the former ambassador to the Kingdom of Denmark, joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss the current foreign and domestic economic war. Ambassador Sands and her team worked to create jobs for Americans by increasing exports by 43 percent. She also worked to ban the CCP-controlled Huawei 5G from coming into Denmark. Not only that, while ambassador, she was able to keep the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from being completed. @ EconomicWarRoom

We're inundated with fear-filled statements of climate collapse. Young people have been told that the rest of us have all doomed their future for our profit. We must stop all carbon emissions to conform to a net zero policy. Remember high school science? People exhale CO2. Do they know this, or is the real agenda reducing the population? As an economic issue, we're told we must eliminate fossil fuels as if oil, gas, and coal are fossils from dead dinosaurs. Dr. Calvin Beisner, founder, president, and national spokesperson of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation, joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to expose the root of climate change fears and what can be done to push back. @ EconomicWarRoom

America is the only protector of freedom on the globe. The globalists and the Chinese communists are working together, and their intention is to destroy America. Floyd Brown joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss how the enemies of freedom are working overtime to take economic control. Floyd talks about some of the solutions from his new book, "Counterpunch." Floyd says, "The founders had a beautiful vision. It's called the Constitution. The federal government needs to be downsized, and it should only be involved in protecting our nation, securing our border, and keeping the peace. And those are the things it's not doing now.” @ EconomicWarRoom

One hundred years ago, people thought money was a topic worth discussing. Before that, the founders talked about it all the time. Well, it's about to become a great topic again with central bank digital currency. Take a look at a $20 bill. Is this money? Unequivocally, yes. Today it is. But by historical standards, no. Wait, how can that be? It all depends on your perspective. Join Kevin as he takes you on a "National Treasure"-style hunt, searching through clues left by our founders of this great republic. They lived in a world of pirates. To learn their hidden secret, we'll have to change our thinking. And this book is a road map to that treasure. @ EconomicWarRoom

When it was discovered in the early 1930s, the East Texas oil field was the largest known reserve in the world. Ten years down the road in 1941, that tremendous amount of oil proved absolutely essential in the Allies' fight for freedom from the Nazis. Within one month of the Pearl Harbor attack and America entering the war, and within 22 days, Nazi subs sank 73 of 74 tankers shuttling oil from Texas through the Gulf of Mexico to the East Coast. That oil was meant to supply our fighting soldiers over on the European battlefields. The U.S. so desperately needed the oil that we secretly constructed a 24-inch pipeline 1,254 miles to bring the oil where it could be dispensed to the European stage. Builders stealthily completed it in only 13 months. They called the pipeline the Big Inch, and it carried more than 350 million barrels of crude oil to the Atlantic coast. This allowed fuel to be shipped overseas to the Allies. Therefore, it eventually was German tanks that ran out of fuel, not the Allies. Texan H.L. Hunt said, and Winston Churchill agreed, the Allies floated to victory on a sea of East Texas oil. Kevin Sorbo joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War to talk about this amazing story. @ EconomicWarRoom

From the inception of the Economic War Room five years ago, we've warned about domestic economic warfare. American corporations are used as pawns for global elitist goals like ESG. The best and the brightest minds have explained the threat, and we've been providing solutions. We've talked about BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street, and they've since become somewhat household names. And we together have had some real victories against companies like Bud Light, Disney, and Target. All of those big corporations that adopted woke policies suffered major defeats in 2023. And there are real heroes in this movement — in this battle. Thought leaders, the National Center, and the Free Enterprise Project are among them. Scott Shepard, a fellow with the National Center, joins Kevin Freeman to talk about solutions to combat the woke boardrooms.

Dr. Ben Carson points out that the "experts" like to say that there's an economic cycle and it's a natural cycle, up and down, up and down, but he takes issue with that. He says, "It goes up when we have people in office who know what they're doing, and it goes down when they don't." Kevin Freeman discusses a broad range of economic problems with Dr. Carson, and they talk about some of the root causes and what can be done to solve them. @ EconomicWarRoom

Thanks to our private property rights in this country, there is an economic incentive to extract minerals to produce vital energy. The oil that is extracted powers our lives. We take energy for granted, but over 3.5 billion people only have intermittent electricity enough to power a refrigerator. We have enough known oil and gas energy reserves to power our civilization for the next thousand years. And it does produce so many more products than just electricity or gasoline for our cars. Jason Isaac joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to dispel the false narratives about the energy industry and the dangers that few are willing to talk about. @ EconomicWarRoom

We have a battle between cultures. A top-down culture turning people into cattle and serfs on the plantation: That is the World Economic Forum's push. Its leaders claim that they're diversity, equity, and inclusion, but they're not. They're the opposite. They claim to care about the environment, but what they're doing is bad culture for us. Kevin Freeman talks with John Luke Spitler, who brings a Christian perspective, has built a great company, and is working with several amazing companies to help bring traditional values and culture back to the marketplace. That's how we win the economic war. It's all about people. It's not about money. And that's the real key. @ EconomicWarRoom

It's been quite a year. It's been quite a five years. The Economic War Room works to see problems in advance and devise solutions for you. Kevin is usually ahead of the curve, and the 30-minute investment you make each week should be helping you personally and financially and helping America preserve liberty. Join Kevin for a look back at the various problems facing America and the solutions presented in the Economic War Room. @ EconomicWarRoom

Want to know why all of a sudden, American corporations have suddenly gone so woke? At first glance, you think it can't be about the money. Budweiser, Disney, and Target — they've all lost billions in sales and billions in market capital. But when you look behind the headlines, you learn it is about the money ... but not in the way you think. Corporate executives, C-suite types, they're actually incentivized by their shareholders to enact woke policy. It's in their pay packages. It's demanded by their boards, and yes, by the shareholders. Now, how can this be? To learn the answer, Kevin turns to a friend and fellow warrior in the fight to promote genuine free enterprise, Scott Shepard. @ EconomicWarRoom

Kevin Freeman and Paul Allen, a successful entrepreneur known for founding Ancestry.com, talk about his career and current projects. One of Paul's exciting projects is Citizen Portal, which utilizes AI to inform citizens about government proceedings and improve democratic engagement. He expresses concerns about government spending and surveillance but remains optimistic about the potential for decentralized social media to empower individuals and promote freedom. @EconomicWarRoom

Our system has been rigged for too long to benefit the rich and powerful. Yet that wasn't the intent of the pioneers who founded and built America. When this country was first established, regular people had deep conversations and debates about money even 100 years ago. "What is money?" was a topic for regular discussion. It's about to be a topic again with central bank digital currency, something we talk about all the time on the program. But now when there's a discussion, it's going to be about money that's being forced on us without our input or our thought and used against us. Kevin takes a deep dive into what the Founders believed to be economic justice and why it matters for today. @ EconomicWarRoom

Scott Shepard from the National Center's Free Enterprise Project joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss the issues surrounding environmental, social, and governance investing and how it has been used to push political agendas to the detriment of shareholder value. Shepard highlights how large investment firms like BlackRock have shifted from offering ESG-specific investment vehicles due to their underperformance to continuing to use their influence to drive ESG goals. He also explains the role of proxy voting and how, traditionally, company shareholders have been sidelined in favor of "stakeholder" interests. To combat this, Shepard introduces the Proxy Navigator tool, a free resource for shareholders to vote in line with their interests and enforce corporate neutrality, aiming to maximize returns and defend the principle of free-market capitalism. Kevin Freeman emphasizes the importance of this tool for individual and institutional investors, offering a way to assert their voices against politicized corporate governance and re-establish the fiduciary standard eroded by the ESG movement.

Recently RedBalloon.work and PublicSq.com surveyed 60,000 freedom economy businesses. The findings of the survey have a very low margin of error and reveal the sentiments of small businesses across the country, and it is not the same narrative being put out by the government. With almost $34 trillion in debt and increasing global turmoil, people are nervous and concerned about where the economy is headed. According to this survey, small businesses fear this holiday season may not be very good for their bottom line. Andrew Crapuchettes joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss the impact of the Freedom Economy Impact survey and what you should be prepared for. @ EconomicWarRoom

The founders of this great country never intended for an overpowering federal government to control everything. They had a vision of free states united in commonalities but that were independent enough to protect individual liberty. This was tested with the Civil War, for sure. But even then, the idea was for states to work together but to function with independence on most matters of life. As western expansion passed the continental divide, the federal government grew more powerful, and states became more servants of the nation than independent parts of it. Amazingly, over half of all land in western states is controlled by the federal government. Jennifer Fielder and Ken Ivory of the American Lands Council join Kevin Freeman to talk about what is being done to return federal lands to the states and why it matters.

Known as the sage from South Central, Larry Elder is unafraid to take on liberals in the Black Lives Matter movement with common sense and others who are pushing false narratives. He's also known as America's Truth Detector. Kevin Freeman and presidential candidate Larry Elder discuss ways to counter the prevailing narratives harming minority families and solutions that help restore the American Dream for millions. @ EconomicWarRoom

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are the new words that are shaping C-suite compensation rather than profits. These words sound nice and seem admirable, but in reality, they mean something completely different. Andrew Crapuchettes, CEO of RedBalloon, joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to expose the true meaning of DEI: divisiveness, exclusion, and ineffectiveness. Kevin and Andrew discuss important solutions to this economy-killing corporate policy. @ EconomicWarRoom
