Doug talks to Marc Morano, climate expert the Left loves to hate. (MACHINE GENERATED) Doug Truax: Welcome to the First Right podcast, a weekly conservative news show brought to you by Restoration PAC. I'm Doug Truax, founder, and president of Restoration PAC. Today, we were blessed to have a first-time guest who needs no introduction to most of you. He's Marc Morano. The climate skeptic, the left loves to hate mark is a virtual machine gun of facts and figures that disprove and discredit the global warming premise that dominates the national discourse. A few people in America know more about this topic. All right. Welcome to the show, mark. Marc Morano: Thank you very much. Happy to be here. Doug Truax: All right. So to back up a little bit on, as far as your career goes, you weren't always in this place, you were probably more, a little mainstream Republican. It wasn't quite your forte. You did some research and the whole piece, and then you kind of had these realizations and it, it, it, it brought you to where you are now. So talk the, talk, our audience through how that happened with you. Marc Morano: Well, you know, during my, you know, I've always considered myself a Republican, except when it came to environmental issues, I was a volunteer on Reagan's campaigns for presidency. I actually did his soundbites to local radio stations. That was one of my duties as a Reagan volunteer, but I never liked his environmental policies. I got caught up in national geographic pop culture. I got caught up in Hollywood presentation and the news media, you know, about, you know, the, the logging of the forest roads and the interior secretary. And I don't, you know, I, there was always environmental concerns, but generally the wealthier, the country, the less environmental problems you're going to have, you're going to have better technology, better planning, better resources, better methods, whether it's forestry, whether it's clean up, whether it's, you know, so if you look around the world, the cleanest places tend to be the wealthiest. So I had my epiphany during the Rio earth summit of all times when it was Dixie Lee, Ray nuclear engineer, I was talking about the Amazon rainforest, which was what I was always concerned about and the deforestation in general, because I wanted to be a forest ranger. She was talking about it being the most intact forest and how this was hype and hysteria. Well, I said, whoa, that can't. So I started looking into that. I didn't believe it. It ended up commentating many years later with me doing an Amazon rainforest documentary, clear cutting the myths where I, and I even have environmentalist in the film, throwing the books down the guidebooks saying, this is nonsense. This is BS, bleeping, and cursing because it was all environmental exaggeration, either for fundraising or just to create alarm or to create a narrative that didn't exist. And it turns out for every acre of rainforest cut 50 are being regenerated. It was the most intact forest. Even the New York times admits this new forestry techniques that I'll come back to. So there's so much hopeful news in the environment, whether it's species since the first earth day, 1970, we've radically cleaned our air and water while at the same time, increasing huge amounts of population and economic growth. We, when you have money and you are prospering can actually do amazing things for the environment. It's the poor countries that have the problems. So that was sort of my, in a nutshell, my evolution. And once I realized that I'd been essentially lied to about the Amazon and deforestation, by the time climate change came around, I was pretty skeptical in the late nineties, just because of my previous experience. And I started covering environment as an investigative journalist. And that's a, I did a lot of TV documentaries on it and also ended up working in the us Senate environment and public works committee and then founded climate Depot, which is where I am today. Yeah. Doug Truax: Gotcha. Gotcha. The truth sets you free. It was great. So, so to just give our audience in a nutshell, then, you know, why is the left wrong about this global warming thing? Marc Morano: Very good question. Well, they'll say climate change is real well. What does that mean? The earth is warming. Okay. Well, let's look at that geologically first. We are in the 10% coldest period in the Earth's history. In other words, 90% of Earth's past history was too warm for ice at either pole that's 0.1 more recently, you look at the, since the Roman warming period of about zero ID, and I include this in both my book, green fraud and the politically incorrect guide to climate change. We have probably the same temperature or most likely have cooled since the medieval Roman warming period. And the same goes true for the medieval warming period from about 900 to 1,380, we've either cooled or been out at the same temperature. So when people say, well, we've increased well, what's your baseline. If you go to 1850, when thermometers came online and all our major us cities us has the best amount of network, we have absolutely worn because that was the height of what's called the little ice age where New York Harbor was frozen over the themes river. We had crop failures. It was a very cold period in our history. Then if you go forward, you look at the 1930s, we had the most still on record, even according to Biden's EPA it's they have the chart heat waves about 10 times higher than any heat waves of experience and all the major us cities in the United States. So here's the kicker. We have warmed and they always use the Arctic as an example, when we started monitoring the sea ice in 1979, that was the height of the global cooling scare, the coming ice age. So yes, we have warmed since the 1970s. We've definitely warmed since the end of the little ice age in 1850, but have we warmed since the medieval warm period? Have we warmed since the Roman warming period of zero 80? I don't think so. And the gist of this is carbon dioxide can warm the atmosphere, but humans can also create aerosols from fossil fuels, dim the sun, and create a man-made global cooling, which is what the scare was in the 1970s. Hundreds of factors influence our climate. It is not just CO2. CO2 is now is the preferred boogeyman because it's the way to regulate every aspect of our life. And that's where this goes from science to politics. Doug Truax: Yeah. And that's the end goal, right? Yeah. And so this is, so this is kind of this front edge propaganda war on that point. You're just making about where they're trying to take this as, this is the terminology on this, as far as climate change and very precise in what you say you say is, is man-made global warming a thing, right. You're very precise in that. And so what's your take though. I mean, I think we should all be talking that way. I mean, you see this right as the left is they get, everybody starts saying what they want them to say, and then you end up playing their game. And don't you think as conservatives too, we should all be more careful about how we talk about this in general to begin with. Marc Morano: Yes. I mean, there's the problem. I think with Republican party, I don't know about conservatives, but you know, you have a house leadership, they'll, they'll use words like they'll, they'll concede global warming as a problem, climate change, and we need to have a solution and their solution turns into a green, new deal, light mankind, as I said, contributes to warming, but there's also a lot of other factors involved. So here's the basic gist. You can't really distinguish mankind's influence on the climate from natural variability. And what I mean by that is whether you're talking temperature and by the way, hottest year on record is with intense to one hundredths of a degree in the record, it's within the margin of error. It's within the adjustment margins. It's a fancy way of saying the temperature hasn't changed much over the last 10 to 15 years, and we're actually have had no warming, but in absolute terms since about 2016 or so, according to the satellite data during the last peak. So this always becomes inconvenient. And when that happens, when current reality fails to alarm, they make scarier and scarier predictions of the future. So what I think Republicans and conservatives it's, it's a really, as a language game, I hate to see I cringe when I hear Republicans say climate change is real. That's a meaningless phrase. You know, the idea is, is mankind driving a climate crisis? Are we driving a climate emergency? That's the whole gist of what the United nations is pushing, what academia, the media, the Biden administration. And that's what the focus should be. Not this esoteric scientific debate of how much can man's impact be, is a tangible point is floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, wildfires, no trend or declining trend on 50 to 100 year timescales. This is the reality. C-level not accelerating. This is even a former Obama administration energy official came out and said, we've had no acceleration in sea levels since the 1920s, basically it's if you go by the tide gauges, what they do is they switch it, switch methods and they have new methods and then they add adjustments and they can come up with these claims that C-level is accelerating and the islands will be under water. Well, the islands that they claim are going under water are still building airports on the sea or on their coastlines. And they're still doing tourism and everything else. So it's just not showing up. And you know, it's about the thickness of a nickel every year, the sea level rise, and it's been rising for the last 10,000 plus years. Since the end of the last ice age, Republicans need a message to answer more directly a message of, regardless of your view on climate, this is our way forward. And the way forward has to be prosperity, economic growth and all forms of energy, particularly fossil fuels, because fuels give you a cleaner environment and give you better technology. You look at coal plants from 30, 40 years ago, and then you compare them to modern coal plants. We've radically reduced pollutants. And if you care about it, CO2 are switched to fracking. The most innovative technology in the last 10 years, the United States has led the world in reducing CO2 emissions, led the world in reducing them as China and India have skyrocketed. Of course, the left and Democrats love to praise China for their climate commitments, whether their climate commitments include building one coal plant a week. So Republicans have this issue all wrong. They should define the scientific terms and they should define the proper energy terms. Instead they end up capitulating. And that's where we have a whole group. Now of these particularly young Republicans who are looking for climate solutions. And it's just, it's a disaster because they're wrong. They're, they're buying into this idea that we can legislate a better climate. There is no cost benefit analysis of hurting us economically. And John Kerry's admitted it. We could zero out the United States and all of Europe and all of Canada and all of the industrialized west, including Australia and other places. And it would have no impact on emissions, let alone the climate, even if you believe the emissions drive climate change because the developing world is developing so rapidly. And then of course it will. How can we stop them? If we want to reduce emissions, you'd have to literally stop 1 billion people from leave, exiting poverty. And that's the thing. You cannot exit poverty and put in infrastructure and development with solar and wind panels. It's not happening. The technology is not there a hundred years ago. 80% of our energy is fossil fuel. Currently 80% of our energy is fossil fuel. Not much has changed except a lot of promises from the solar and wind industry that have been going on. Actually in my book, green fraud, I go back almost a hundred years and show you solar and went just around the corner. They're always waiting for that breakthrough. That's going to make it, and I'm not against solar and wind per se, but you don't mandate an energy that can't take over and ban an energy that's proven itself, fossil fuels. Doug Truax: That's right. And it's all, it all feels like so much hypocrisy. And just, you know, I remember when Obama bought that mansion on the shore, I was like, wait, hold on a second. Weren't you, the guy that said that everything's going to turn into a disaster. And I feel like it's like a building credibility problem for them because the more we talk the truth and just get this, get these points out there. And then to your right, people are thinking, okay, I kept hearing about the world was going to end and it was going to end and it was going to end. And it just hasn't. And so there's this thing that's happening. I think in people's minds, they've been convinced on a little bit of a level that, oh, maybe there's this climate change, but then you ask them, what issues are they concerned about? It's like so low down the list. It's like laughable sometimes. And so what, how do you explain that dichotomy? Is this just virtue signaling by people are like, yeah, no, I care about the climate, but in, in the back of their mind, they're like, I think these guys are lying to us. I'm not going to worry about this or whatever. What, what, what do you think the take that take on that? Marc Morano: It's a phenomenon could actually see it in the Trump. If I remember Trump always pulled, you know, much lower than he performed at elections. And it's because of that sort of shame, the people were embarrassed, you know? Cause they knew the pollster and polite society would not look kindly on that. Same with climate. If you don't say you're concerned about climate, something's wrong with you. So when a pollster would ask, if he would just say, you believe in climate change, you'd have high numbers. If you would actually answer the question, are you really worried about it? This is where Gallup poll since 1889, since the 1980s, late eighties, that hasn't changed much in all the polling. So what's happened is just recently, and this is a shocking poll you've referenced, you know? And when you look at all issues, inflation, you know, debt, crime and healthcare, global warming is typically 19 out of 2014, out of 15. It's nine out of 10. It's always dead last among all these issues, but here's the shocker, April, 2022 Gallup poll among environmental issues, water, quality, air, quality deforestation, plant, and animal species extinction, global warming ranked dead last among environmental issues. That's the shocker 30 years of climate propaganda. And it's still the least environmental concern among Americans. That's a shocker, but it's a Testament to the intelligence of the American people. Doug Truax: That's right. That's right. I always have confidence in that. Cause if you, if you talk about it enough, the truth is going to come out. You know, when people, people can sniff it out and it's yeah. They just keep, it's just the constant alarmism. That just, it just wears everybody out. That's for sure. But so I think so I think we're winning that, that, that battle overall, because they're steadily eroding their credibility. However, there is this concept it's well, it's not a concept. It's a reality that they're stuffing all these environmental jobs into the government and the is everywhere. So we're, we're losing that battle. What's your take on how that's shaking out and you know, what, what do we need to do going forward besides, you know, fire a bunch of people, you know, Babs, Marc Morano: This is the crux of everything right now, what you just said. We've won this climate skeptics and rational conservationist. I won't say we're environmentalist, but conservation have won the environmental and climate debate. However, the other side never accepts defeat and they have the levers of power. They have the leavers of our government, bureaucracy, academia, the media, they have big foundations that fund all this. So how are they going to deal with this? Well, it comes down and that's the title. That's the topic of my next book. The great reset. The permanent lockdown. The gist of it is this when COVID came along and in March of 2020, and they had the lockdowns, the left was at first jealous and then they were envious to the point where Jane Fonda actually said COVID is God's gift to the left. And what did she mean by that? We'll all the same solution that the most radical extremes of the climate movement had been proposing economic de-growth planned recessions to fight global warming, a halting of all travel radical, you know, just limits on every aspect of your life in order to lower. Your carbon footprint literally happened overnight and every country maybe except Sweden, even in Florida, it happened. I mean, remember the early lockdowns in the United States, you couldn't go to church, you couldn't leave your, you were under curfew in most states, you had stay at home orders, but yeah, you could run to your local Walmart. No problem. Your corporate chains were open. The small mom and pops, particularly in the big cities got destroyed and estimates of the 60% of the restaurants in New York city got destroyed. The small mom and pops. That's great because once they realize what happened, the Progressive's, the administrative state realized that if we can collapse the current system, we can then have a permanent crisis on our hand. And that is what the fantasy of these essentially central planners has always been a permanent crisis. So what happened was, and this was sad because a Republican president, Donald Trump allowed and sign that emergency COVID declaration. It allowed governors to become dictators overnight. And all of these have then led to the climate movement, latching onto the lockdown saying, if it's good for a virus, it's also good for the climate. We've been clamoring for this for decades, and now it's happening overnight. They opposed the green new deal through COVID lockdowns overnight. So fast forward, just this past week journal nature and bill gates basically saying that uncheck climate change will lead to more COVID therefore, if you don't support the UN Paris climate agreement, if you don't support the green new deal, you are supporting more COVID which will then be, make you a grandma killer. And that's where they've come along as Biden imposes. There's no vote of the green new deal. This is so key. They introduced it in Congress and it went died. Who, who cares? They don't want it congressional debate. They don't want town hall meetings. They don't want care from their constituents. They don't want committee hearings. They want to impose this to every agency. And this is the phrase from the Biden administration. Every agency is a cabinet agency. It's not just as executive orders, which have been unprecedented on energy, but it's also the treasury department defunding all of the fossil fuel energy projects. It's also all of his spending bills. All of his build back better. Every regulation of the us government is hammering fossil fuels and also the, the, the supply chain issue, inflation debt. They're trying to collapse a current system, baby formula, shortages, food shortages, price of meat through the roof, gas through the roof. Everything I just mentioned brings a smile to the face of climate activists, because this is what they want. They want to keep gasoline in the ground. They want to get rid of the internal combustion engine. They want you to stop eating meat. They want thermostats on your home control of it. They want economic de-growth, which is what we've had. So what I'm telling you is this has been their fantasy and dream. COVID made it happen, and now they want to attach COVID to climate. So that it'll be a permanent part of the permanent crisis. And here's the last thing I'll say, house Democrats in the Senate, including Chuck Schumer are urging Joe Biden to now declare a national climate emergency. If this is so done, this will give the executive branch governors, bureaucrats, even more power to control how much we fly, how much we drive and make no mistake. The UK transport secretary, academic reports, international energy agency, all basically calling for not just rationing of vehicles OD even days, no driving in cities, but they're calling for the end, the abolishment of private vehicle ownership that it's not necessary. We had one Andrew Yang who ran for the Democrat nomination, wanted to abolish private car ownership and replace it with roving fleets of rental electric cars. You just order up as needed. And this is what we're facing. Now. This is the greatest threat we face to our Liberty is this disappearance of democracy and moving the climate and the COVID agenda into the bureaucracy away from our elected officials, because now it's being imposed without most people being aware it's happening. Doug Truax: And do you see back to the political side of this? Because you know, somebody has got to stand up to this. How are there any signs of hope amongst Republicans amongst recruit conservatives that are actually out there? You know, legislatively trying to stand up to this Marc Morano: Good question. There's a few. Yeah. I like ran Paul. I liked Ted Cruz. Does I like chip Roy? I like a couple of house members who stand up, but generally they miss it. I mean, here's the way he would fight this. The Republicans, it's the opposite way with the leadership. You have, like people like Kevin McCarthy and Scully's of the house, GOP leadership. And these, if we win our big midterm, you're going to be running the Republican party in Washington. They're all about green, new deal, light climate ruminating climate is a problem. We need a solution and a million years, they're not going to challenge anything. I just said there it's wheat milk toast nonsense. Now having said that, the way forward on this for it to fight this couple of different things, mass resistance, how did we end mass mandates in school? How did we end the VAX mandates in the north end bees, big some Democrats in these, they seem to drop overnight. It all began. I shouldn't say it all began, but it all was the lightning point was in Loudon county, Virginia with the parents protesting the mask mandates and the CRT and all the stuff coming out in the critical race, critical race training to the children that led to a Republican winning in Virginia, which shocked everyone for the governorship, the Democrat Phil Murphy in New Jersey, governor almost lost that shocked them doubly. That was even more shocking than the winter of gender that this the most deepest of blue states almost elected a no name Republican with no money. So they did some group polling, the Democrat party, and they found that among their democratic base, they didn't want, they wanted to return to normal, no more masks, no more kids, men, no more vacs mandates number locked down with it. And this was as reported by the New York times. It's in my book within two weeks of that, every major Democrat controlled city and state dropped the mask mandates for schools that dropped the VAX passports mandates all it was amazing. Resistance is what led to it. And I like to say the way forward is to look at 1989 Berlin east Berlin. What happened there? We didn't rely on, you know, the conservative elements of the east German government, the east German government didn't vote to tear down the wall because the people have had that 40 years of repression of Soviet domination. That's enough. Let's let the people be free. That wall came down in 1989 in Berlin because the people of east Berlin and east Germany no longer gave their consent to live under tyranny. And that is ultimately the way forward. We can't rely on political, you know, losers like, you know, everyone from, from Kevin McCarthy to Mitch McConnell, et cetera, to save us, we've got a mass resistance and that's the way forward. And you have to just bypass the, the, the establishment in every way possible. And now let's local go after your school boards go after and your state houses, we can't ever allow local public health dictators to just rule on a whim, but this is what they want to do. And if they can tie climate now to public health, which by the way is very important doctor last year diagnosed, the first patient is suffering from climate change. A lady had heat stroke. This was happened in Canada. And as the head of the emergency room at a major hospital in Canada and Australia, academics are urging to add climate change as a cause of death to death certificates. And the, and bill gates has said the death toll from climate will be much larger than anything from COVID. So if they can make climate a public health issue, just think of the latitude that we've had with the Fowchee and public health. And here's the thing I'll, I'll end on a very scary note, the world health organization and bill gates on a team up and have what's called even the Washington post called a radical pandemic treaty. The word radical came in the Washington post headline. And the gist of this is experts paid by bill gates, who by the way, bill gates has praised Australia as the best COVID response of every single country. You know, it's literally was China light. It was the most repressive military response quarantines, lockdowns, VAX mandates. It was like an island prison at returned to its roots. That's who bill gates likes. So bill gates, once a pandemic treaty with his experts who could declare a pandemic and literally have instant global lockdown without any outliers like Sweden or Florida next time. And they'll have control of information. They've talked openly about shutting down the glue, the internet globally, in order to prevent misinformation, be afraid, be very afraid of this pandemic, treaty and climate will be part of that. Remember climate change now as a public health threat, you can be diagnosed with it. It can be on your death certificate and you know, if you don't take care of it will lead to more COVID. So you're a grandma killer. If you don't support carbon taxes. Doug Truax: Wow. That is terrifying, but it's better to know where they're up to than to, you know, fall for it. And you're absolutely right. That mass resistance on that, you know, that's the great thing about the size of our country and we're still centered right across the country. And people are very nice and tolerant on some level, but somewhere in here, because we're not Australia, we're not an island. We're not England. We're not, it's hard to contain. It's hard to control and we just have to keep standing up for sure. And, and if we don't, it's not pretty, it's not pretty well. Hey marc Appreciate your bravery. Love the sound of the new book. W w when did you say it's coming out? Marc Morano: It comes out the end of August. It was supposed to be out six months ago, but because of the supply chain issues was all backed up. So we had to wait Doug Truax: One more thing, right? One more thing. Yeah. Another crisis. So, all right, well Marc Morano: It's called the great reset by marc morano. Doug Truax: Yeah, for sure. We'll, we'll, we'll talk, we'll bring it back on. Talk about that as well. I encourage all the viewers to get that too, but again, thanks for your courage and your bravery on all this. And I, and I hope that more people are listening to you. Thanks for coming on today. Marc Morano: Thank you. Appreciate it. Doug Truax: All right. That's our show for today. Thank you so much for tuning in and for supporting sort of media. Don't forget that by working together and staying diligent, we can serve as can bring our country back to true greatness until next week.

Jerry talks to Project Veritas media manager Mario Balaban.

Doug talks to Steve Cortes, former Trump spokesman and national commentator, about J.D. Vance, Ukraine, and Roe v. Wade. (MACHINE GENERATED) Doug Truax: Welcome to the First Right podcast, weekly concerted new show brought to you by Restoration PAC. I'm Doug Truax, founder, and president of Restoration PAC. Today, we were blessed to have a first-time guest who most of you already know quite well. He, Steve CorteS, who was an effective spokesman for Donald Trump in the 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns and former Newsmax TV show host more recently, he has been crisscrossing America supporting America First candidates. Well, welcome to the show, Steve. Thanks so much for coming on, Steve Cortes: Doug. Appreciate it. Thank you. Doug Truax: So a good deal. So really happy to have you here. Our audience knows you obviously, but we want to hear you didn't you weren't always this big national political figure. In fact, earlier in your career, you had kind of a, you had a different looking career in the beginning. So we want to hear all about that and bring us up to speed to where you are now. Steve Cortes: No, that's very true, Doug. So listen, I had a, basically a midlife, a middle-aged career change, and one that I frankly didn't plan on. I wish I could tell you that, you know, I wish I had some brilliant strategy and I knew this was how things are going to unfold, but that wasn't the case, you know, through, through some skill and some luck. This is just where I ended up, but I was a finance guy. And so from out of college for 25 years, I traded bonds and stock indices for major institutional houses, mainly hedge funds, mostly over in Europe and had an interesting and good career. But that then led to television, which is what led to politics. So I started on CNBC back in 2007 first, I was just a very regular guest and they thought I had some skill as a guest. So they asked me to come on as one of the broadcasters, as part of the team. And I did the fast money franchise for years. I did that for eight years. A lot of folks out there might know, it's, it's shown at noon Eastern time. And then again at 5:00 PM Eastern time, and it's essentially almost in a sense of sports show, but instead of talking about teams and sports stats, you talk about stocks and tickers and, and earnings releases and that sort of thing. So that's where I learned the craft of television, but we didn't get into policy a whole lot, but then fast forward to 2015, by that time, it was almost inescapable to address policy and politics when discussing the economy and financial markets. So I made the move over to Fox news. A lot of CNBC folks had recently at that time gone to Fox business people like Maria, Bartiromo, who I worked a lot with and, and collaborate with a whole bunch. So they recruited me over to Fox. And part of the reason was I wanted the ability to talk politics and particularly from a conservative angle, which Fox promised to afford me. Well, I wasn't at Fox very long because this, this orange guy came down the escalator on fifth avenue and, and really won me over. I was a skeptic at first, quite honestly, but he won me over. I had been kind of a, a wall street Republican. I would describe myself, Doug, I, for example, I believe in, you know, quote free trade. And Donald Trump really changed my mind. I, I came to realize that he was right and that we did not have free trade. It was always managed and it was managed generally against the interest of American workers. And so he won me over and turned me from an established Republican of wall street, Republican into very much of a populist nationalist where I am now. So I ended up leaving Fox news, working for his campaign. He said, I need you on television. Didn't know him at all, but recruited me to be part of his 2016 campaign lo and behold, he pulled off the greatest upset in all of American history. And I've basically been doing all media and politics ever since. So that's my story of how I ended up being one of the spokesman. And I hope one of the effective spokesman for the America first movement. Doug Truax: Oh, you were for sure that, and I think it's a really interesting how people with your background who had that business background, you know, you mentioned you were always Republican and you were conservative on some level, but that business background helps you see the world for what it really is. And then it gets into the policy. And I think that, that, you know, if you care to comment on this, like how that shaped you as you get, you go through all that, and then you see what Trump is talking about and like what you said about trade and everything else. You're like, Hey, wait a minute. There is a right way to do this in a wrong way to do it. Steve Cortes: Yes. No. And I'll tell you, so w what I hope I bring to the political arena and tend to political media, particularly what I hope I bring is some of that analytical background of wall street. So I have a lot of problems with wall street, by the way. And I think that wall street has used its political power largely to abuse Americans, but wall street does some things very well, obviously. And a lot of that is number crunching and data analysis. This is really sort of the lifeblood of wall street. So if I were to make a proposal to these major hedge funds who were some of the biggest players in the world of capital markets, believe me, I couldn't go with just sloganeering or just, ah, it's my opinion. You know, that interest rates are going to hit here. No, I had to give a reasonable data driven evidence driven analysis. It doesn't mean I'm always right, but it means there has to be evidence that it has to be a statistical foundation to it. Once I got into the political arena, Doug, I found out that sloganeering generally, unfortunately, is the default. That is the norm rather than approaching it from a data perspective. So I try to bring that and look, you can't dive too deeply in a data. If you get too far into the weeds, you lose regular people. But my point is what I try as much as I can to do in the political arena is to bring actual facks and numbers to the arguments. I'll give you a real world example of this one. That's very pertinent just this week. So I I've been very deeply involved in the JD vance campaign in Ohio. And one of the things that I, and I did a lot of in-person campaigning with JD Vance all over how as well as a lot of media appearances. And one of the things I've tried to, to convince Ohio voters up to earn their support for JD Vance is that Ohio, all of America has suffered the ravages of globalism, but Ohio suffered them particularly and disproportionately. And I use data to back that up, for example, and I think this is a really important, and frankly, you know, depressing statistic, but something that needs to be addressed the state of Ohio from 2001 until 2015 before Donald Trump was elected on the, on the recent. And, and then going back in time, 2001 was when China was allowed into the world trade organization on incredibly generous terms to the Chinese communist party. The state of Ohio lost 120,000 manufacturing jobs to China alone. And that's according, not, not to Steve or some right-wing group, that's according to the economic policy Institute. And the epi is a left leaning think tank, but that's, you know, think of what that does, not just economically, but also culturally in society, when you lose 120,000 manufacturing jobs that are high pain family sustaining jobs, what it does to the livelihoods of communities, what it does to the dignity of those individuals who lost those jobs, all because of predatory trade practices that we willingly allowed the Chinese to inflict upon the great people of Ohio. It's not that those Ohio workers couldn't compete instead. It was a rig game. So I like to use data to explain to people, this is what happened to you. And by the way, here's the solution. It's not enough to just curse the darkness. We have to also light that candle of here's the solution. Here's the way out. Here's what Donald Trump was doing. Here's what we can do again, if we elect the right Congress in 2022 and the right president in 2024. Doug Truax: Yeah. Amen to that. And I think that that's exactly the basics. The basic foundation of all politics is how's this affecting your day-to-day life. And you know, all these people, whether you got laid off or somebody, you know, got laid off, or you just look around your community and all these factories are closing and everything else, all these people are saying, this isn't working for us anymore. And then the professional politicians are into sloganeering. And that wears thin obviously over time. And you end up with what we had with president Trump. And then obviously like I was going to bring up the JD Vance thing. I'm glad you already did that. So, you know, I think that w what would you think about this concept? I feel like I'm starting to see in Republican primaries, the statewide folks, like the governors or whatever, the state legislators, obviously it's a, they get a pass If they're professional politicians, if they're insiders, if they're establishment, but it starting to feel like if you're going to run for federal office and go to DC, you might need to be an outsider because a lot of people are starting to say, well, if you get to DC and you're kind of a little corrupted already by the establishment, you're going to get even more when you get out there. I mean, what do you, what do you think about that concept? Right? Steve Cortes: No, listen, you're right, Doug. And I've seen this now that I spent a lot of time in Washington, DC. Thankfully, I've never had to live there and I hope I never do, because it truly is. I don't like to call it the Washington swamp, by the way, because I say swamps have nice things and I'm swapping at beautiful flowers. For example, there's nothing beautiful about the political scene in Washington, DC. So I call it the Washington sewer. So I hoped it never lived there, but I've spent a disordering amount of time there because of my career now. And I can tell you that it's, it's very enticing. It is to, to people who go there sometimes with the best of intentions to quickly sell out to the Washington establishment, to the permanent political class, to the administrative state that exists in this country, which is frankly, incredibly successful for its own. Self-aggrandizement again, let me give you some data on this to prove my point, the five richest counties in America by income are all in the Washington DC Metro area. I mean, think about that. Doug Truax: And that's right Steve Cortes: Wealthier than Silicon valley wealthier the New York suburbs outside of wall street, wealthier than the north shore, Chicago. They, all those places I mentioned are doing fine, but they're not doing nearly as well as the beltway area. Why it's not because Washington DC is curing cancer or is coming up with the next most amazing technology. It's because our United States Capitol acts too much like the Capitol in the hunger games, quite frankly. And it siphons off of the districts, our prosperity and our rights. So to your point about outsiders, and I think there's a lot of them running this year. Thankfully I mentioned JD Vance, but there's a lot of others. I love Joe Kent in Washington state. I love Jake bequette, down in Arkansas. I love Kerri lake, not running for federal office, but running for governor of Arizona. There are all of those people. I just named those for our newcomers to politics. All of them brings significant experiences in the military and business and athletics. In the case of kerri lake and television, they bring those experiences and abilities to politics, but they're coming at it with the agenda and vision of an outsider, but you're right. These people also have to have the character then to stick to it because I have seen politicians go to Washington DC with pretty good intentions, you know, and then succumb to the allure of the establishment. And it's listen, let me be concrete on this one. One reason that it's, it's easy to give into the establishment is that leadership. And this is true of both the Democrats and the Republicans leadership largely controls the funding. So if you are a good foot soldier for leadership, in terms of funding for your campaigns, I mean, you will get the funding you need or your campaign. And it's hard to go out and work and earn the support that you need to get reelected. So we need to send people who have an outsider's perspective in my mind, we need a lot more versions of Donald Trump. And I don't mean stylistically. They have to be like Donald Trump. I mean, people who've been successful outside of politics. And then people who also have the character and principle to stick to it and to never effectively go native in Washington, DC. Doug Truax: Yeah. That's very well put. And I think that that's where everybody's heart is whether they can, at least in the base wherever they can't fully express it sometimes. But that's what they're looking for. You know? And I, I, I love a lot of Trump's policies and everything, but it's like, what was that phenomenon? And it was, it was this concept right here. And it goes to, we're losing our country because of, you know, the sewer. I liked that. I maybe I need to start using that term too so well. Steve Cortes: And Doug, you know, if I could, when you say we're losing our country, I think we are absolutely. But here's the paradox there is that we've been winning elections. Okay. We are the majority. And I know sometimes it doesn't feel like that because we're not the majority of the power structures of America, but at the voter level, we are the majority, the majority of America believes in the America first agenda believes in cultural conservatism combined with a populous economic nationalism. We're the majority. So we've been winning elections with regularity yet losing our country, right. We have to change that formula. We need to win elections. And when the country back, and that takes a very different kind of approach, a very different attitude, a different policy agenda. I think we're getting that. I refer to it as the new, right, but by whatever phrase you want to use, or however you want to describe it, there is an awakening. Thankfully, now that awakening is, is uprising of frankly how dire things are in the country as it relates to inflation right now, that is forcing a lot of people who weren't terribly political to become political and to become animated in politics and to become activists. But again, let's stop winning elections and losing the country. Let's win elections. And when the country back. Doug Truax: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Another thing that I'm hearing relative to this winning elections piece is a lot of the folks I talked to, and this is how I feel about it too, is, you know, we can talk to we're blue in the face about immigration and economics and everything. But if we don't have confidence in the actual election itself, then we got there, we got bigger problems and we'll, we'll have you on some other time to talk all about election integrity. We do a lot of work on that around here, but that's, you know, we got to get to that place too. Cause that's, that's, you're roading over time. You know, it's, it's a, it's a crazy time we live in back to the JD Vance thing. And also this, this, this Washington establishment thing. So you wrote a piece on his stance, on the war in Ukraine and, you know, we're all, all of us what I would call true conservatives are thinking the same thing. Okay. Why, why would we want to get involved in that? And we all think we know the answer, but I'll let you talk about what you said in that piece and, and, and get everybody up to speed on that. Steve Cortes: Sure. Well, you know, unfortunately when I mentioned Washington DC and the way the capital operates in our country, nothing, nothing empowers Washington DC and the permanent political class like war. And so the Washington war machine is really revving up again. And I really believe that they see in Ukraine a chance for another Iraq, a new Afghanistan. And I know that sounds crazy because our experiences were so terrible in both of those wars. But believe me, I would, I would try to persuade regular folks out there who aren't maybe involved full-time in politics, believe me, the Washington war machine. And what do I mean by that? I mean, K street lobbyists. I mean the giant defense contractors, I mean the think tank, suppose it foreign policy experts that supposedly experts at foggy bottom at the state department, all of them are pining for war. They are desperately trying to escalate us involvement in what I believe is clearly a regional struggle in Ukraine. I think what's going on. There is an absolute human tragedy. I think Putin, his invasion is totally unjustifiable and he's inflicting pain upon regular Ukrainian civilians. I also think that as Americans, we need to take a dispassionate look in the world at the world and only intervene in instances where there is a significant vital us national security interests at stake, no more needless nation building war fighting and interventions all over the world to put a dollar figure on this. You know, again, I like data and evidence put a dollar figure on this, according to brown university. I'm not, again, I'm not citing a right wing organization, corner brown university study the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan had cost the United States a total of $8 trillion. I mean, Doug, do you know what we could have done in this country with $8 trillion? And then by the way, even worse than the money also cost us almost 8,000 American lives, precious American souls who are gone. And by the way, also thousands more American soldiers who were not killed, but who are grievously wounded either physically or mentally because of their experiences in the, in these wars. So we need to learn the lessons of what the Washington unit party, because Republicans were every bit as complicit as Democrats in promoting and inflicting these wars upon the American people. I think George W. Bush in some ways is actually more guilty than Obama is, but they're both guilty regarding these wars. Donald Trump came to office as a peace president. He insisted in an American foreign policy of realism and restraint, but with Trump out of office right now, the Washington establishment believes including a lot of Republicans believes here's their chance in Ukraine. Thankfully, JD Vance, who himself is a Marine veteran, somebody who was deployed to Iraq who saw war firsthand, and he had the guts to stand up in a very competitive primary. Okay. He had some very high quality well-funded opponents in that primary, but he had the guts to stand up when he was the only one to do this and say, we do not want to escalate in Ukraine. He said no to a no fly zone. Some of his opponents tried to hide behind the caveat of, well, the no fly zone will be enforced by our European partners rather than by America. But if you think about that for more than a second, you realize that they will quickly our partners, Germany, Poland, whoever it is will quickly get into a shooting war with Russia, which then obliges the United States to directly intervene in a shooting war with Russia and incredibly reckless stance that the corporate media is trying to promote constantly right now. So we need, in my view, more voices like JD Vance, like president Trump, who put out thankfully a very strong statement on exactly this point. And he said, we need to beat it to force a deescalation. Let's get these two sides to negotiate. What's going on as a tragedy. But it is a regional struggle does not involve the national interest of United States. And by the way, Doug, I would stipulate that if there was a border for us to worry about it is not the Eastern border of your Ukraine, it is the Southern border of the United States. Doug Truax: That's right. That's right. Lots of problems down there. And it's like, look over here at the shiny thing right now. And you're right, it's a total tragedy. And I always feel now, too, what happens is there's this complacency leading up to this? It's like all these things over the years, Putin has been talking about this for a long time. A lot of things we haven't done over the years in terms of just like fortifying Ukraine or frankly, Ukraine fortifying themselves more. And all those things that have, have gone on. And then he got Keystone Nord stream two, he's got all the money he needs and then suddenly there's this disaster. And then it's like, it's the next crisis that they don't want to let, to go to waste. And so, okay, now we're going to talk about getting involved. And I'm like, oh, it's like, okay, where were you guys? When this was all leading, we were leading up to this and it does feel like what you're talking about. So, okay, well we're here. We got to deal with it. So let's, let's spend a lot more money and a lot more treasurer and lives and everything else. Steve Cortes: Yeah. And to that point by Doug of energy policy, because I think this is critical. Look, here's the reality right now, NATO is funding both sides of this war. I mean, which is, which is insanity, right? I mean, in my view, we are literally funding both sides. And what I mean by that the United States taxpayer, I was announced last week that Joe Biden wants to send $33 billion with a B over to Ukraine, by the way, no strings attached. One of the most corrupt governments on earth. And again, I'm not justifying the invasion far from it, but I'm saying this, this is not a fight, a pure goodness and pure light against pure evil. It just isn't okay. But we're going to send $33 billion of American taxpayer money over to Ukraine at the exact same time. And this was reported by Bloomberg. The Europeans, since the war began in late February, the Europeans have bought precisely double that amount in Russian energy. They have bought $66 billion of Russian, Russian energy. They are continuing to buy it. Doug, as we speak masses and masses of oil and gas coming from Russia directly to Europe. So here's my answer is this has to matter more to the Europeans than it does to us, right? This is in their neighborhood. If this is truly a crisis beyond Ukraine. And I don't believe that it is, but let's say for the sake of argument, that truly Putin doesn't just want Ukraine. He wants Ukraine, plus he wants to March on Europe. Again, I don't agree with that, but that's what the warmongers are trying to tell us. Well then Doug, this is Europe's problem. These are wealthy advanced countries and they should be more than willing to number one, defend themselves. But number two, if they really fear Russia that much, then stop sending billions of dollars, right. Day two, the two, what they regard as the Russian beast. Doug Truax: Yeah. How about it? Yeah, it's just common sense. And we just end up in this place where it's like, we've had all these years of not doing the common sense thing, and now we end up where we are. So yeah, I, I totally agree. All right. Shifting topics real quick. So crazy times here, Roe V. Wade is looking like it's going down, praise God. And then we got this leak and it turns everything upside down. So what do you think though, where we are relative to the midterms and how the impact in your view, how it's going to impact the midterms? Steve Cortes: Sure. Well, you know, first, just let me say this. This is a amazing victory for life and amazing victory for mothers and babies in this country. And there are so many people who really toiled for 50 years to see this moment. And a lot of that toy, a lot of that work frankly, was in the political wilderness. It looked like it could never happen. So a lot of faithful people, a lot of prayer and a lot of hustle and all of them just deserve so much credit and, you know, deserves perhaps more credit than anyone right now is president Donald Trump, who was the most pro-life president in American history. And this is his legacy. And even if he never goes back in the, in the oval office, I hope he does. I hope to help get him there in 2024, but whether or not he does, this is, this is a legacy that he deserves. And an honor, you know, that is largely his not only his, but largely he has, but regarding the midterms, then if I sort of, you know, switch tax and just put on my, you know, from being a thankful Patriot to put on my campaign hat and my strategist hat, I honestly don't think this is going have a massive effect upon 2022 elections. And here's why I think it will have a slight positive net effect for Republicans, for pro-life candidates, for people who were on the fence, who, for example, there's a lot of committed Christians out there who don't necessarily like the style and bombast of Donald Trump. I hope some of them will see the fruits of what Trump of what Trump did and, and, and recognize this massive victory for pro-life people. So I think it will bring a few more people into the America first fold, but regarding the people who are most upset about this, the people who are outraged, that this is going to go back to the states where it always belonged in the first place. Those people who are outraged dug in my view, and the polling backs this up. Those are not people that we could win over. Anyway, that's just the reality. I do not believe those were persuadable voters. And given that again, corporate media wants us to accept the narrative that this was massively consequential for the elections and that it's going to embarrass and imperil Republican candidates around the country. I just don't see that could be wrong. But when I look at the polling, America is very, very divided on this issue. I think that's the knee. That's the honest answer. There's not a massive pro-life majority, nor is there a massive pro majority abortion majority. When, when the questions are asked in an honest way, there is a slight pro-life majority. That's what the numbers actually tell us. For example, a recent Gallup poll shows that 52% of Americans believe that abortion should be always, or most of the time illegal. The other side is 45%. So the country's very divided, but also look, federalism works. There are a lot of states that are not divided. So states like Alabama and Tennessee are going to reach very different solutions than states like Illinois and California and New York. And you know that that's not okay from a moral perspective, of course, cause I don't want any baby harmed, but from a political perspective, that's okay. That's how the system is supposed to work. I suspect a lot of America will actually end up where Europe is, where abortion is technically legal, but very, very restricted and very difficult to get that's the, that is the democratic small D consensus that most advanced countries in the world reached because they were allowed to do it through a democratic process. We were disallowed from that. We were restrained from that illogically so and unconstitutionally. So for 50 years now, we're going to have that conversation and debate in this country. I think ultimately it's a healthy thing. And I frankly, Doug, I don't see big consequential fall off of the 2022. Doug Truax: Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you. I think it's the extremes that will be involved in the, in any fallout if there is any, which will be small, but what a great day, what a great day moving in the right direction. For sure. For sure. Last question for you. So we get into this next election, you know, how do we avoid complacency? I ask everybody this, like where it's looking pretty good. How do we not be, you know, get into complacency and, and, and hurt ourselves here. And then how do we going on the other side of that lecture? How do we go on 20, 24? What do we need to maintain? What do we need to grow into in your opinion? That'll get us, keep us on this good path that we're on. Steve Cortes: Well, listen, it's a fantastic point that, yeah, we sure can't get complacent. You know, cause to our earlier point we've been winning elections, but losing the country for a long time. Now, thankfully I think the Democrats in a way and Biden and the ruling class in this country, they've almost done us a favor. Not that they meant to, but their policies have been so disastrous so quickly. You know that again, a lot of people have been forced to care. And what I mean by that is people who may not be all that political people might not be that engaged in the end. You know, following the economy, they had been forced to care because every time they go to the gas pump or the grocery store or pay their rent, they are being crushed right now. Real wages are crashing in this country and that's not bad luck. It's not because of the business cycle. It's a consequence of terrible policies. So thankfully I think our job is relatively easy in terms of getting people motivated. Because again, I think they're being forced to care, but, but we can't only rely on that, right? We can't be lackadaisical in terms of motivating people. I believe firmly that there are sort of so many things going wrong right now. So many created crises because of Joe Biden and because of what Pelosi and Schumer and I would argue Mitch McConnell and Republicans because of what they have inflicted upon this country, that we can lose focus. And as a messaging guy, which is my world, where I live in, in political messaging and in media, we need to, don't major in the minors. We need to focus on the things that matter most to real Americans. And I believe it's the two eyes it's inflation and immigration inflation immigration. I think if we focus on those two issues, we not just when our base, I mean, we will get them and we will motivate our base to turn out and coalesce and unite behind real America, first candidates all over the country. But I think we also get them people who either weren't politically engaged or were leaning to the democratic side because no one, no reasonable person, unless you were a hardcore dogmatic, leftist, no reasonable person thinks that effectively open borders, which is what we have in this country right now is good for our country. And no reasonable person believes that surging prices 40 year highs by every single metric on inflation would crashing real wages is a good scenario for this country. So things are pretty dire right now, Doug. And I think it's important. I'd never sugar call it, code it for the American people. They know it. And particularly the horribles are our people, our Mo most motivated people know it out there. So don't sugar coat. Things are bad. Unfortunately, I think they're likely to get worse in the near term, but politically the situation is becoming better and better for the America first movement. I firmly believe we're going to elect Republican majorities in the Congress this year in both the house and Senate, but not just Republican majority's America. First Republican majority is with the kinds of stalwarts and fighters and outsiders that I was talking about earlier. And that can transform politics in this country and prepare the way for a 2024 election where we either re-elect Donald Trump. I would argue for a third time, that would be his third victory or another great America personally. Doug Truax: Yeah. We're on the edge of something. Great. I think, and that's really well put and we're all praying for that and hope it comes to be. And Steve, you've done great work over the years. Really appreciate you coming on and sharing your opinion. And I think you're dead on us. So many things and look forward to you continuing to contribute to the success we have ahead of us here. Steve Cortes: You're back. Thank you so much for having me, Doug. Appreciate it. Doug Truax: All right. That's our show for today. Thank you so much for tuning in and for supporting sort of media. Don't forget that by working together and staying diligent, we can serve as can bring our country back to true greatness until next week.
