Economic War Room

PragerU reports that 16% of Gen Z adults are proud to live in America, compared to 73% of Baby Boomers. That is to be expected when we have been pouring the poison of cultural Marxism into our education system for decades. Our kids have been taught America is bad. It's evil, and we've got a terrible track record of slavery and worse. But when you compare it to the rest of the world and the rest of history, America is the greatest, most powerful, most benevolent nation in world history, but these kids aren't proud of it because they've been lied to about who we are. Rick Green, founder of Patriot Academy, joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to share what he is doing to teach young people about values-based capitalism and what he is doing to restore the American spirit in the next generation.

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.

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 Fields and Ken Ivory of the American Land Council join Kevin Freeman to talk about what is being done to return federal lands to the states and why it matters.

Kevin Freeman provides an important update on the progress of the transactional gold and silver legislation in Texas. A constitutional state-backed gold-based tender is needed now more than ever. Kevin outlines the critical path for this to become law in Texas. He provides a Plan B that is currently in development and what you can do to help make it happen. Join Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room and become equipped to take action to support the cause of freedom and liberty.

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.

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.

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.”

BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard vote in lockstep on many corporate issues. They have about $20 trillion in assets under their management. That's on par with the GDP of the United States of America. When three CEOs can get in a room and switch a vote to change out the board members of a company or change the entire culture by deciding to vote for things like targets for net-zero emissions by 2050, it's dangerous on many levels. Justin Danhof joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to explain what can be done to bring back the profit motive for companies and what individual investors can do.

Imagine a Marxist professor at NYU. At the peak of his industry, surrounded by peers and students who generally agreed with his worldview, he woke up. He woke from the Marxist delusions to become a leading conservative voice. Dr. Michael Rectenwald joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss how this happened and what has happened to him since his awakening.

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.

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.

In the Economic War Room, we've been working on getting a state to make gold-based currency available to its citizens. For the five years that this program has existed, and for really ten years before that, we have been pushing gold as a currency as provided under the Constitution. Now this idea has made its way to the Texas legislature. Thomas Jefferson said, "Paper is poverty." And it's not even real money. It's just a shadow of money. And the problem with paper currency — we're seeing it today — is that the government can just fire up the printing press and make more when it wants to. Michael Maharrey from the 10th Amendment Center joins Kevin Freeman to talk about why this is so important and what this can mean to the average American.

A generation ago, Ronald Reagan mapped out and executed a strategy for taking down the last totalitarian communist regime that sought America's destruction. That was the Soviet Union's evil empire. We can settle for no less with respect to our time's existential threat to freedom. The Chinese Communist Party can and must be thwarted in its determined bid to crush liberty, destroy our country, and institute what Xi Jinping calls global governance directed and enforced from Beijing. Frank Gaffney joins Kevin Freeman to talk about China's aggression and what can be done about it.

Kevin Freeman takes a hard look at the likelihood of war with China, what it will do to your investments, and what we must do to protect America. What happens if we go to war with China? Notice the question is not what happens if China goes to war against us. That's because China has been at war with us for at least a decade, maybe longer. It was in 2013 that Xi Jinping rose to power. Shortly afterward, it became official Chinese policy to de-Americanize the world. This is unfolding rapidly and eerily similarly to the Nazi rise to power in 1936. Kevin began sounding this alarm more than a decade ago. He outlines six action steps that must be taken internationally and four domestically that can stop the CCP.

The eighth clause in the First Amendment of the Constitution literally entitles you to ownership of your property, intellectual property, and writings. Today, the great American system is breaking down, and it is becoming more difficult to achieve the American dream. America can return to a time when it flourished. The American system has created more Nobel Peace Prize winners, more movies, more musicians, more inventions, and more patents than any other country, all countries combined. Doug De Groote, a trained NSIC advisor, joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss what he is doing to help bring back American prosperity.

With recent bank failures, the federal government is working overtime to implement its central bank digital currency scheme. External forces such as China are pressing in even faster to make the digital yuan the dominant payment system. But Texas has introduced plans to push back. Former Rep. Louie Gohmert joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss the current domestic and foreign economic situation facing America and what we can do about it.

For the first time in 15 years, headlines scream of BANK FAILURES. First, it was Silicon Valley Bank, then it was Signature Bank — and other banks have been merged. We are told, “Don’t worry. Everything is fine.” But it doesn’t feel fine. Bear Stearns was the first in the financial crisis of 2008, and Silicon Valley Bank was the first in 2023. We don’t know just how far that aspect of the analogy will carry out this year. Bear Stearns stands as an absolute warning that the worst may be yet to come. Kevin Freeman takes a deep dive into the causes of the recent bank failures and explains why they are happening. Want to end bank runs, runaway inflation, and an overreaching government? Then you will want to stay tuned for a Texas solution and some specific actions you can take to help make it happen.

Woke corporations are a danger to your economic and personal freedom. The Left has weaponized large public companies and even some private ones to undermine the political process. These woke companies suppress free speech and the expression of religion. They are bending to the will of the woke mob and have lost their focus on delivering value to their customers, employees, and shareholders. Paul Fitzpatrick joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to offer a game-changing solution that empowers consumers, employees, and investors to push back against the prevailing woke agenda.

Nations that aren't advancing are declining, and the measure of advancement for America doesn't look very good. Whether you look at life expectancy, personal satisfaction, upward mobility, or middle-class income, the stats are actually alarming. That wasn't the case for the generation just before us. There is no longer fundamental newness. Best-selling author Christopher Buskirk joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to expose the root cause of America's declining innovation rate. They also discuss why there is still hope for America and how the future could be bright again. But it won't be easy.

The American way of life and the woke way of life are 100% incompatible. They're utterly irreconcilable. In our understanding of justice in America, it's about free people pursuing happiness. It's very simple. In the woke understanding of justice, it's about the state imposing quotas by groups regardless of merit. Tom Klingenstein joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss how dangerous the WOKE agenda is to our economic and personal freedom and what can be done to stop it.

When you take that oath to the Constitution to support and defend it, that means against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Lt. Col. Allen West joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to look at the internal and external enemies who threaten our economic freedom. Without a doubt, the number-one geopolitical foe that we have is China. And downstream from China, you have the new axis of evil: Russia, Iran, and North Korea. And we still have to be concerned about Islamic jihadism. In addition, they discuss the growing socialist insurgence and what you can do to help defend and protect our liberty.

Sixty years ago, President Kennedy uttered these famous words, "We choose to go to the moon." As if it were a choice, ignoring the scientific and practical challenges. But less than a decade later, his words came to life. We chose and we achieved. It took an incredible amount of national will to get to the moon. Secrecy, planning, investment — in a wartime approach. And it was a war. It was the Cold War and the space race. Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Steven Kwast joins Kevin Freeman to talk about how the U.S. must achieve space dominance to preserve freedom. He also discusses a new space manufacturing process that will help us win the space race.

In the Economic War Room, we're always looking at challenges to our nation, to our sovereignty, and to our economy. We have foreign enemies. We have domestic enemies. Well, there is startling news that we may have a foreign enemy operating through a domestic enemy. And that domestic enemy may be our own president. Is it a rumor? Is it real? With former Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Kevin Freeman discusses this and what you need to do right now to stop Biden from giving our sovereignty to the World Health Organization without U.S. Senate approval!

Former CIA operative Sam Faddis joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to talk about the internal and external wars and what it will take to win both. Sam says, "I do not subscribe to the [idea that] Joe and his advisors just happen to be the most incompetent team in American history and get every decision wrong. I think you are watching guys who, frankly, are playing for the other team. They are not looking to — they're not focused on American national security. They've got a completely different agenda."

The Intelligence Community has been taken over by progressives who seek to silence opposition. The recent revelations about the FBI and Twitter are just one example. J. Michael Waller joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to expose what is happening in the IC to clamp down on our right to free speech: how it started and what we must do to end the suppression and criminalization of political speech in America.

Dr. Theodore Malloch has been behind the elite curtain as a global sherpa, as Margaret Thatcher once called him. And it is a long and sordid tale, but it means he knows how that system works. And therefore, he is very dangerous to those behind the curtain. Kevin Freeman and Dr. Malloch talk about why the markets have changed and not for the better. Malloch says, "Frankly, that creative destruction of the entrepreneur is no longer adored, is no longer respected, is no longer invested in. And what we have is a system now of radical socialism. I would call it woke socialism that wants to eat the cow.”

Kevin Freeman and two special guests are in the Economic War Room to pay tribute to a leader of leaders and a great American hero, Chris Graham. You've likely never heard of him, but he worked tirelessly to protect our great American freedoms. He wrote," Sitting alone in the dark, cramming Twinkies in your face and binge-watching Netflix while playing dress-up in a surgical mask is not what you were created for. You were born for this place. You were born for this time. Hit play on Kid Rock's 'Born Free' and lead by example.”

In the Economic War Room we address inflation, pandemic, election integrity, the risk of food shortages, space warfare, stock market collapse, debt and pension crisis, socialism, and global economic warfare. The challenge of the central bank digital currency may dwarf them all. Or maybe it rolls them all up into one big package that will be sold to you as something that you need, something that will benefit you. But in reality, it's dark, it's deceptive, and it's destructive. In this briefing Kevin explores the following topics: ● President Biden’s alarming executive order. ● A plot to take control of the global monetary system using central bank digital currencies. ● The threat of digital dollars. ● How we can combat the future of digital money. ● Reality: Transactional gold is money. ● America is facing a disastrous and unprecedented time in its economy. ● Right now, we have a golden opportunity — the most important economic moment of our lifetime.

What makes America exceptional? Is it the people? No, it can't be that. We are everybody else from everywhere else. Is it our geography, education, the weather, or our religion? Some of those may play a role, but the real notion of American exceptionalism is based on individual liberty as enshrined in the Constitution. Bureaucracies and groupthink don't invent. They don't create. They don't improve. Business meetings are a great example. They're mind-numbing, inefficient time-wasters and soul-killers. And yet there's a massive push to eliminate individual creativity and replace it with bureaucracy. Join Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room and discover what role you can play in keeping America exceptional.

Today there are many people, just as in the 1930s, who're hearing, "Oh, we're not supposed to be political. Christians shouldn't be political. We're supposed to focus on the Gospel." That is theological nonsense — absolute nonsense. And it's worse than nonsense — it's wicked. Because we are called by God to bring our biblical faith into every single sphere of life. It is why Wilberforce brought his faith into politics and into English culture and said, "We must abolish this evil." Similarly, today, Christians, or anybody with any kind of faith in what is right and good and true, have an obligation to advocate and to work however they can to defeat evil. Eric Metaxas joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to dive deeper into why the church should be playing a more important role in both the economic and cultural wars we are facing.

What will 2023 hold for investors? Will the current trends continue, or will they get worse? Veteran investor and fund manager Bill Walton joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to talk about what might be ahead in 2023. Bill is a filmmaker, philanthropist, and conservative leader who has proven time and again that hard work and excellence pay off when the free-market system is in place. Bill now hosts the "Bill Walton Show," which focuses on in-depth conversations with leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers who offer deep insights into money, culture, and politics. He also chairs the Resolute Protector Foundation, a 501(c)(3) media company that creates and produces original educational and entertainment content.

We are told that the world is coming to an end and that everything is getting worse, with more floods, more droughts, more hurricanes, and so forth. And when you look at the record, you start to see there are a lot of fluctuations, but there really isn't any long-term trend. Climate alarmists have convinced much of the world that carbon is the most dangerous threat we face; however, it's just a giant scheme to control nations and money. Noted climate scientist Dr. David Legates joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to expose the lies being sold the to world and how to respond to the aggressive climate change alarmists.

Know as the "Ace of Aces," Eddie Rickenbacker's story is extremely relevant today. America is facing real challenges. The first is the long march to socialism and the takeover of our government by socialists. And the second is cancel culture, where you can get cut off, defunded, or outright censored if you don't go along with the socialist takeover. These are not new problems, and Kevin explains how Captain Eddie Rickenbacker discovered the model for how to have victory over this powerful enemy.

Instead of playing whack-a-mole with 100 different, crazy, insane agendas out there, Stella Morabito found what connected them all and what causes them. What gives these agendas oxygen is our tendency to self-censor when we have questions about the dangers that lie ahead. And that self-censorship is induced through political correctness. Political correctness, identity politics, and mob agitation create the three-legged stool of tyranny, or what she calls "the machinery of loneliness."

For over a century, America has been the world's inventor, a country whose ideas and innovations transformed mankind. But today, our nation faces challenges at home and abroad that threaten our economic and military security and the very idea of American greatness. Our Founding Fathers knew how important intellectual property rights are and enshrined them in the Constitution. Brig. Gen. Robert Spalding (Ret.) joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss solutions to this critical threat to our economy and way of life.

We are in three economic wars. The first is the foreign economic war against China and the axis of evil. The second is the domestic economic war, which is really about globalists and the elitists of the World Economic Forum and how they want to subjugate you. The third war is the hardest to win but is the most important. It is literally the hope of the U.S. Our American future hinges on winning the economic war of the heart.

Driving fiscally sound public policy by partnering with key stakeholders and educating Americans on the role of responsible financial management in a free market economy is the mission of Derek Kreifels. His group works to hold elected state officials accountable to the people they represent. One of the first things his team of treasurers and auditors stood up against was this weaponization of the IRS and a proposal at the United States Treasury Department called the "Green Book," which is a book of ideas that the department wanted to potentially implement by having Congress pass laws. One of them was this idea of snooping on individual Americans' bank accounts to the tune of $600 in or out, whether they were deposits or payments. Kevin Freeman discusses this and more with Derek Kreifels.

The internet is dominated by essentially two monopolies and the ability to control 3.5 billion people. Dr. Robert Epstein joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss the serious threat Big Tech monopolies such as Google are to our economic liberty. Dr. Epstein explains a rigorous scientific study that is exposing the bias in research he is conducting called SEME (Search Engine Manipulation Effect) and how it easily shifts the actions of millions. The technological elites are now in control, and that is terrible for individual liberty and economic prosperity.

Nick Vujicic is an Australian-American born without arms or legs who's become a world-renowned speaker, New York Times best-selling author, coach, and entrepreneur. He's persevered through life's challenges, and he's discovered key principles that enabled him to find his purpose and turn obstacles into opportunities, making him one of the most sought-after keynote speakers in the world. Today Nick and Kevin talk about how he got de-banked for being pro-life and what he is doing that will help many who may suffer the same fate from the progressive Left.

Mark Robinson went from receiving welfare to being lieutenant governor of North Carolina. In fact, Mark Robinson is the first black lieutenant governor in North Carolina's history. Mark is a passionate person of faith and is bold about his convictions. He took those convictions to his local city council and made a speech that quickly went viral and set an entirely new course for his life. He believes it's time for law-abiding American citizens to stand up and say, "Hey, we're the ones that make this engine go around. We're the rightful masters of this place and our destiny." It's time for them to take their places in the political arena.

The economy is probably worse than it feels right now, because we've had what John Mauldin calls a "weird recession." Kevin Freeman and John Mauldin talk about a wide range of topics that focus on the state of our current economy and what investors should be paying attention to. John points out that we do have relatively low unemployment by historical standards, but it's partially because of the way we measure it. And then what we have is regional area location unemployment. We have businesses that are looking for skills. We have restaurants looking for workers, but they are not getting paid enough to drive to work because it's now costing too much to get there.

The ESG push from woke Wall Street is being orchestrated by groups who do not have America's best interests in mind. Hal Lambert joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to talk about the real threats of ESG. It is no accident that China is a significant beneficiary of ESG from the green energy push, yet the country is the worst ESG offender. Hal also talks about an investable solution that will help people weaponize their investing to support American values and liberty.

The first Democrat president, Andrew Jackson, displaced hundreds of thousands of native Americans with his Indian Removal Act. The native Americans called it the "Trail of Tears." Joe Biden and the same Democrat Party have put Trump supporters on notice that they could be removed as well. It used to be "kill the Indian and keep the man." Not any more. This ideological trail is "kill the American and keep the communist." Kevin Freeman, who is of Cherokee descent, explains that this is all according to plans to displace the Constitution and transform America.

From the very beginning, the Founding Fathers knew that intellectual property rights were the key to success. They enshrined property rights in the Constitution. But now, our government and the administrative state have significantly weakened the U.S. patent system. This is mostly benefitting Big Tech and giant corporations. Small businesses and innovators are getting their patents thrown out nearly 82% of the time. Randy Landreneau joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to talk about this domestic economic weapon and what can be done to stop it. If this is not stopped, the world's greatest creative and innovative system will be crushed.

Tom Dans, a former U.S. Treasury official, has created a unique solution to fight back against woke Wall Street. The ESG movement is misleading investors and taking them down a path that weakens companies and the economic power of the United States. Kevin Freeman and Tom Dans discuss a new strategy for helping bring liberty, security, and values to investors through Tom's creative approach to investing.

Texas Rep. Brian Babin joins Kevin Freeman for a special edition of the Economic War Room from CPAC Dallas 2022. Rep. Babin discusses the increasing threats that more than 3 million illegal immigrants are inflicting on our nation. He and Kevin also talk about what is happing inside the Beltway of Washington, D.C., and what can be done to safeguard our economic freedom and liberty.

No nation on earth is perfect or without embarrassing moments in history. The U.S. is no different. However, this nation has done more to improve the freedom and liberty of all. And it started with the formation of this country's most precious documents, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Tim Barton joins Kevin Freeman on a special CPAC edition of the Economic War Room to discuss some unique artifacts that show just how bad the progressive Left is at portraying actual history.

Kevin Freeman goes on the road to CPAC Dallas 2022 and talks with Frank Gaffney, Gordon Chang, and former Virginia Rep. Dave Brat about the various threats we face from the communist Chinese and how they are impacting our economy.

When the velocity of money is slow or nonexistent, the economy dies. You are completely missing it if you are sitting around waiting for politicians to solve your problems. The proper use of money is the key to a thriving and robust economy. The formula for success is for American patriots to weaponize the three things that people can do with their money: giving, spending, and investing. All three must be weaponized in the right way to advance the cause of liberty and freedom. Kevin Freeman walks through 10 important initiatives being worked on in the Economic War Room that will change the game for our nation and economy.

According to recent polling, investors do not want ESG investment products, yet Wall Street and the big funds are pushing them more than ever. Wall Street seems to no longer care about profits but only about pushing a progressive woke agenda. Kevin Freeman talks with Katherine Novikov, a former Russian cryptologic linguist for the U.S. Air Force, about how woke Wall Street is following the plans laid out by the Soviets and the CCP. She also talks about how she is weaponizing her investments to promote liberty, security, and values.
