Economic War Room

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.

George Orwell wrote "Animal Farm" to warn of the dangers of socialism. The book is banned by many totalitarian countries. The reason? The pigs took over and terrorized the farm. That sounds a lot like the elite pigs today. Need proof? Join Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room as he exposes the pigs and their plan to control you.

Renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson tells his powerful story of overcoming poverty and cultural racism to become a true success. Dr. Carson sits down with Kevin Freeman to discuss his new book, "Created Equal." They have a frank discussion about racism and what we must do to solve it. He says, "We are not each other's enemy, but need to direct our anger to those who are creating the division because that's the real problem.”

The World Health Organization (WHO) has a prominent role in shaping global policy related to health. But recently the group is working to take a much larger role. The current administration is working closely with the WHO and its CCP puppet masters to undermine U.S. sovereignty. Frank Gaffney joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to expose the group's plans and provide resources and information to fight against this globalist agenda.

As the 17th United States secretary of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson transformed the agency and made it more productive than ever. One of the key members of his team was John Gibbs, a man who rose quickly to become an assistant secretary under Dr. Carson. Kevin Freeman talks with Dr. Carson and John Gibbs about the new challenges facing our economy and what Congress should be doing about them.

Everything that sustains life in our modern culture requires electricity. Since the 1950s, it has been known that our grid is vulnerable, but not only that, our enemies know that it is vulnerable. USMC Reserves Lt. Col. Tommy Waller joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss what actions must be taken to solve our electric grid problem. Lt. Col. Waller also offers some specific solutions that the public can participate in — and it is more critical now than ever.

Too many Americans are unaware of China’s program of warfare against us using economic techniques, political instruments, information operations, and technology theft. Frank Gaffney exposes even more from the Plan B report as it relates to biological weapons and the COVID attack of 2019. The Chinese Communist Party is at war with us and is intent on achieving the ultimate victory over us. Their goal is to dominate the entire world. Learn what America needs to be doing now!

All the movies and TV shows you see in all of the United States and the world pretty much come from about six entities in the United States. Hollywood does not give you a vote on the content it serves up. Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV, Disney+, Paramount+, and the others use your dollars to make what they want. They are using your money to move the culture away from the values that the vast majority of Americans want to see. Marcus Pittman, CEO of Loor.TV, joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to share about the new company he is launching to cancel Hollywood! Audiences decide what films should be funded. Learn more about this potentially great idea that will weaponize money and help take back our culture. Pittman explains that it’s real entertainment unfiltered by Hollywood or church ladies.

Henry Kissinger reportedly said, “You control the food, you control the people, you control the energy, you control nations, you control money, you control the world.” We will see the downstream effects of what's happening in Ukraine almost immediately hurting the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe, especially those countries that depend on food imports because they can't produce it themselves. The U.S. is also at risk, and it is part of our national security that is not effectively being addressed. Lt. Col Tommy Waller joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room, explaining where we are headed today and the solutions we should be working toward.

All-star analyst Ken Abramowitz and futurist Rod Martin join Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss globalism and the attack on U.S. sovereignty. America is undergoing a full-scale invasion by 160 countries. With between 2 and 3 million people coming to America illegally in a year, we now have an invasion orchestrated and led by the federal government in violation of the Constitution. Ken Abramowitz reviews how history repeats itself and important lessons forgotten from the Treaty of Westphalia.

Tired of inflation devaluing your money? Rod Martin, one of the PayPal founding team members, explains how a new proposed gold-backed, state-backed Digital Texan currency could be done in a way that is precisely the same as the way people use bank accounts or PayPal accounts now. You have digital dollars right now. They aren't technically "the digital dollar" in the way that Biden's executive order is speaking of, but they're functionally digital. With a gold-backed Digital Texan, Texas could strike a blow for sound money and sound economics not seen in a century! Other benefits: It would be a natural hedge against inflation and help restore economic justice to the poor! Kevin Freeman and Rod Martin discuss the summit and why so many thought leaders see the Texas Bullion Depository and the Digital Texan as a solution for today!

Ross Kennedy joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss the pending food crisis ahead. Ross is a global supply chain expert and has recently published some important thoughts on food production and the risk of shortages. He is a senior fellow at the Security Studies Group and a founder of Fortis Analysis. Ross explains what is really the collapse of a very globalized, industrialized food system that a lot of countries rely on and that in some cases even America is dependent upon. Decentralized food is becoming more important than ever. Are you prepared? A look at the food situation today, what is causing it, and things you should be considering now.

Kevin Freeman explains how the Chinese Communist Party has pulled the “Trading Places” switch on America. For most of the past two decades, we were told that China was our friend, a would-be capitalist nation with more economic freedom than we enjoy. We were told that the Chinese were our allies and bankers, happily buying our federal debt and selling us all sorts of wonderful things at Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon. In reality, China was executing its Unrestricted Warfare master plan. The Chinese tempted U.S. politicians and elites to sell out America in exchange for special privileges. Both Republican and Democrat politicians gained while Americans lost. It’s time to shift the power away from tyranny and fight for victory. It’s time you make certain your investments support rather than destroy America. NSIC financial advisers can help you invest in liberty, security, and values.

Dr. Jim Garlow, author, pastor, and CEO of Well Versed, joins Kevin Freeman to share new insights on the declining role of the church in America and what that means to American greatness. A globalist government can only be achieved if Judeo-Christian values are eliminated. As the globalist agenda moves forward targeting free speech and religious liberty, over 90 percent of America’s pastors are sitting on the sidelines and refuse to speak out. Dr. Garlow’s Future Conferences are designed to bring the biblical worldview to life as he shares the status of America and what we can be doing to protect American values.

Randy Long, an NSIC adviser, shares the changes he is seeing in the investment community and why the NSIC experience is critical for advisers today. It's not enough to just give your wealth to your heirs. You've got to pass your values to your heirs as well. And that's not easy to do. The whole world is going in the opposite direction, pushing totalitarianism and ESG. Learn how to stop investing in the demise of America. Saving America and the world is not about ESG, but promoting LSV — liberty, security, and values investing. With new NSIC classes at Liberty University, it is time to nominate your financial adviser at economicwarroom.com/advisor

This episode was originally released in August 2021. We felt it to be relevant and timely based on all that is happening in America right now, as well as with the Economic War Room. It is much like WWII all over again, when Hitler was racing across Europe. For a while, America was asleep and sitting on the sidelines. We had education failures, we had mass political correctness, compromised media, and failed politicians. This is all happening again today, but this time with a socialist Marxist ideology in America. Kevin Freeman and Dr. Ben Carson have teamed up to sound an alarm on what America needs to do now and the importance of standing together for liberty. We are being told over and over again to leave it to the professionals. Forget that! It is time for the men and women of America to make a difference!

Frank Gaffney joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss what can be done to get our nation back on the path of freedom and success. According to Frank, we are on the wrong track. He says the polls are evidence of how the common sense of the American people is operating. What Americans are witnessing all around them, domestically and internationally, is evidence of what he believes is a wrecking operation by the Biden administration. He is launching a new initiative called "I’m Mad as Hell and Cannot Take It Anymore!” and it provides you a chance to make your voice heard. Frank is a seasoned policy expert who was part of the Reagan administration and worked for Senator Scoop Jackson.

David Tice predicted the 2008 market crash. Those who listened and invested with him made money on the markets with his Prudent Bear Fund. Today, he is warning about a new threat and is working to alert America before it happens. His soon-to-be-released documentary explains the threats to America’s energy grid and how to easily secure our future. A sneak peek at the documentary and real solutions for America as he rallies support to wake up our politicians and utility companies for action. Your role in this is critical!

Putin’s plan to destroy American energy independence seems to be working perfectly, with Biden’s help. Consumers are getting crushed, and there is a fragile recovery ahead. Kevin Freeman has Troy Andrews back in the Economic War Room to discuss what’s next and why America’s energy independence was creating a cleaner world than we have today. ESG is targeting America’s energy and fossil fuel industry for all the wrong reasons, and the results may surprise you. Investments in fossil fuels are important for multiple reasons despite what the so-called “climate experts” may be telling you.

Concerned about your money, inflation, and what economic warfare really means? As the U.S. is targeting Russia with economic warfare, some of those same economic weapons could soon be pointed at you. Social credit, equity, diversity, and inclusion could all play into the next U.S. digital dollar. Do the wrong thing and you will be de-banked. Kevin Freeman fleshes out a constitutional alternative to government monetary tyranny. This may be the biggest idea you've ever heard of! It was hidden in the Constitution by our founders for such a time as this. It may be how we escape tyranny and pass liberty to future generations. Don’t wait, watch and act now!

Senator Rick Scott offers a plan to rescue America. You'd think it was good news. Sure, the opposition might attack the plan, but you wouldn't expect that the majority leader in your own party would tell you to sit down and shut up. That's especially true if the plan involves all the things your party is supposed to stand for. Kevin Freeman runs through the 11 steps, what the solutions are, and how they will impact you.

Trevor Loudon is back in the Economic War Room to share unique insights on how even a small group of communists can manipulate and control policy formation in the U.S. The church is the backbone of America and has been a Marxist target for over 100 years. Now, there has been a deep push to bring Marxism among the evangelicals and Southern Baptists. As America is weakened on all fronts, it appears our adversaries may be preparing a final push against the US. There is good news, patriotic Americans now understand that we could lose this country and there is real fervor to save America! You can make a difference.

The battle appears to be more than a war half a world away, but it is closer than you think. Economic warfare and financial terrorism expert Kevin Freeman highlights the most important points you must grasp to understand the war underway and how to protect your family. It’s an economic war, a political fight with two opposing dystopian worldviews being fought against liberty. The implications geopolitically and our changing relationship with China will alter the course of history, making millionaires of some and paupers of others. Western governments are intent on using economic weapons against individuals and governments alike.

President Reagan warned that if we don't fight for liberty, it would be only one generation from extinction. But what if the next generation doesn't want freedom? There's a group of people out there who have even decided that freedom is the new F-word. Ryan Helfenbein is in the Economic War Room from the Standing for Freedom Center at Liberty University to share what America must do now to fight for liberty. All is not lost, but it is time for Americans to stand with boldness.

In October 2019, we learned of a special World Economic Forum exercise known as Event 201. The purpose of this was a war game to see how the world might respond to a coronavirus pandemic. Less than six months later, global governments were following the course laid out before them. Next, they war-gamed the long-term aftereffects of COVID. As they pumped trillions of dollars into the economy, their next war game was a financial crisis to usher in the Great Reset. In this exclusive teaching series, Kevin Freeman lays out a plan not to let the serious crisis they created go to waste. It’s time to shift the power and prepare for a positive Great Reset. Welcome to your Economic War Room. Think of us as the conservative version of Davos. Americans working together can stop them!

The war between liberty and totalitarianism is being fought beyond politics. Part of the economic war is a culture war. Culture is upstream of politics. Watch any movie or entertainment show today, and the leftists have gone so woke that they feel they have to make their point directly in everything. The LGBTQ agenda is being shoved into children’s cartoons. Everything's about climate change. But the power is shifting. Executive producers Matt and Joy Thayer are in the Economic War Room to share the shift in power they are seeing back to family entertainment, as smaller studios begin to collaborate to create cost-effective WINNING family entertainment!

Nancy Pelosi has made a fortune worth more than $100 million – all while working on a government salary. HOW?! How are she and other politicians becoming millionaires while supposedly working for “us” in Congress? The corruption is deeply disturbing: Democrats and Republicans alike are pigging out on “Pelosi Perks.” Tom Fitton, Justin Danhof, and Jenny Beth Martin join Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to share more about how our elected officials have lined their pockets at our expense for too long! Find out how you can take action and demand an end to the Pelosi Perks!

Glenn Beck joins Kevin Freeman to discuss Glenn’s new book, "The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of 21st-Century Fascism." This may be the most important book Glenn has ever written! In this Economic War Room exclusive, we take a closer look at how the elites plan to “reset” the global economy using banks, government programs, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics. The goal is to put substantially more economic and social power in the hands of large corporations, international institutions, banks, and government officials. This is a serious threat, and the Economic War Room has brought the best minds together to build real solutions. Kevin Freeman shares Economic War Room's top five strategic initiatives you can be a part of to stop the Great Reset.

We've just experienced the most far-reaching, brazen, and lawless attack on Americans by the state and its private-sector adjuncts in our nation's history. It was the year of the ruling class crackdown: We learned there are ways to silence free speech and keep us quiet that don't involve physical force. Instead, major corporations, the educational establishment, the media, and the government can just kick you off the internet, put you on a "no-fly" list, and bar you from using the banking system. But there is hope as the ruling class agenda starts to crumble. Benjamin Weingarten, a senior fellow at the London Center for Policy Research and fellow at the Claremont Institute, joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to share the pathway forward.

Kevin Freeman and John Mauldin share their experience working with the Office of Net Assessment. A look at what the Pentagon got right in the Cold War and what was missed as it relates to economic warfare. While it was once thought that no one would attack America’s finances, that is not true today. A review of the China supply chain threat and what that means to our national security. Plus, John Mauldin shares a quick overview of his investment outlook and strategy in the U.S. and globally. It is time to make sure you have good financial advice!

Are you fighting the good fight? Former Senator Jim DeMint is in the Economic War Room to share about a new movement to equip conservatives for battle. Lately, it seems like every policy the Democrats develop is designed to destroy America, yet too often America is afraid to stand for truth. Americans want to do something, but they're tired of being lied to. Many don't know what the truth is anymore, and they are seeking new media where they can find out what's really true. It’s time to invite people who love the country and the ideals of self-reliance, hard work, family, community, and church to stand together. These are things that are essential to America. Plus, Senator DeMint shares about his new book, "Satan’s Dare," and why it is the most important thing he has ever written.

The next decade will bring a challenging economic environment. John Mauldin, one of the most widely read analysts of our time, is back in the Economic War Room to highlight the investment landscape ahead. John joins Kevin Freeman to discuss supply chain issues, interest rates, inflation, and how best to position ourselves for the Great Reset. One thing is certain: There has never been a more critical time to have a financial adviser on your side as you manage these challenges. With slow growth expected, index investing could be at high risk. Be sure to nominate your financial adviser to participate in our NSIC adviser training now!

Kevin Freeman reflects back on the politics of 2021 and the lies of the political Left that were exposed. Also, we review the Economic War Room 2021 scorecard: what we said would take place and how it actually happened. Economic War Room patriots were on the leading edge of key insights that impact their money, their livelihood, and their way of life. As we prepare for 2022, understanding the political and economic implications will be more critical than ever. Start planning now. If you have a financial adviser, ensure they become part of the NSIC and are helping you align your money with your values.

The Great Reset is planned for 2030. If it succeeds, life in America will never be the same. At this year’s World Economic Forum, the leaders openly shared their agenda. Yes, your money, livelihood, and way of life are actually being targeted. Only top-down authoritarian mandates and controls can provide the solutions to the problems they create. Take the Constitution and Bill of Rights and shred them. There is no more free speech, no freedom of religion, no right to property, and no right to conscience. The elites know "best," and you will either conform or be punished. The good news is that as the globalists make these moves, Americans now understand what is at stake. It’s not too late, we can stop it, but we must work together like we never have before. In this exclusive teaching series, Kevin Freeman shares the solutions that may be EWR’s most important episode yet. This is a must-share segment with friends, relatives, co-workers, and neighbors.

Ken Blackwell, former Ohio secretary of state and mayor of Cincinnati, joins Kevin Freeman in the Economic War Room to discuss the hypocrisy of ESG and specifically its governance (G) agenda. The G includes a gender and race quota agenda for corporations. It’s not really about genuine diversity, but rather mandated quotas and artificial diversity. In some cases, these alone can be sexist and racist. The idea that we need governance is the reality that the elite want to dictate how everything is run. They often do so in a way that gives them more power and us less liberty, while they promise better results. All that comes at the expense of free markets and the expense of your personal liberty. They use gimmicks. They exploit real issues to usher in their brand of socialism with themselves at the top. There is an answer for creating true diversity and higher returns. ESG governance is not that answer. Do you know what’s in your portfolio? This is part three of our exclusive three-part series on ESG investing and the real agenda that is behind this movement.
