2:38Make sure you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get
2:42your podcasts. First time on the podcast, Debra Lea joins us, everybody.
2:47She is a conservative commentator.
2:50She was just on a Gutfeld show.
2:52You see her on Fox.
2:54You see her all over the place.
2:56And she's with us now.
2:57I wanted to, because I don't think that this audience is familiar with you, give
3:00a little bit of who you are and how you came into this.
3:02Because I think that's always a really worthwhile place to start with people who are
3:06all of a sudden in the center of the storm.
3:10Thank you. Great to be on with you.
3:12And I think that's, my history is definitely like a good inspiration story for a
3:17lot of young folks who want to get into politics.
3:18Because people will look at you on primetime shows and they'll look at you at
3:22the White House with Trump and everything and automatically assume you just popped up overnight.
3:26But I've definitely put in at least six years of work into this career.
3:30So born and raised in New York City.
3:33City Kid Strong is over here.
3:34And I went to Bar -Ilan University in Tel Aviv after graduating high school where
3:39I had two direct rocket impacts.
3:41And that was the catalyst for me to kind of get involved in geopolitics and
3:44hopefully be one day in a position of power to just make this world a
3:48little bit more Trump strong, as we call it.
3:50Like strong international policy, strong diplomatic strengths.
3:54And so I came back to Maryland.
3:56I started a turning point chapter at UMD under the guise of Charlie Kirk, who
4:00inspired me a lot and gave me the strength.
4:02And I did. We were chatting about this a little bit before.
4:05I got jumped on campus.
4:06I didn't get my face broken or anything, but I had a table with a
4:10pumpkin. And I had people putting rubber bands around the pumpkin to show the pumpkin
4:14are taxpayers and the rubber band are taxes.
4:17And eventually, if you constrict the taxpayers so much, they'll explode.
4:20And the Bernie bros didn't like that.
4:22And they came over, flipped my table, took all the buttons, started throwing them at
4:25people, smashed the pumpkin. And I just laughed because that was the environment that we
4:30were dealing with. College campuses are truly a war of ideologies for the young folks.
4:35And thank God for Charlie Kirk's organization and his leadership, which has inspired a lot
4:40of young folks like me to actually be involved in the political space in an
4:43important capacity. So now I've worked on campaigns.
4:46I'm a regular on Fox News.
4:48I get to work as the new media with the Trump administration and just doing
4:52everything I can to further conservative values without reacting to the left all the time.
4:57Wow. That's great. Before we get into, obviously, Trump's State of the Union is tonight.
5:01And so people will be hearing a lot of people will be hearing this probably
5:04right before and then some will be hearing it after.
5:06So we'll just sort of talk about some of the broad issues that we know
5:10he's going to address and get your sense as to how it's gone in this
5:12first year. But one thing, because you are at that intersection, you're doing media, but
5:17also, I mean, you're Gen Z, right?
5:19You're a young one. 25.
5:22Yeah. So you know what the campus scene is like.
5:24So you know what the campus scene is like.
5:24were you i i have i'm gonna take a moment for a second so i
5:28have to pat myself on the back on this because the first thing that i
5:31did in in college that dealt with uh middle east issues like i went to
5:35the cia after 9 -11 but that's a whole other thing um but the first
5:38thing that i did even before that was study uh arab israeli conflict was what
5:42they called at the time i think now it's probably considered israeli palestinian conflict is
5:47what at most campuses but it was called arab israeli back then and so i
5:51wasn't surprised at all by really anything that has happened on these campuses because i
5:56also try to explain everybody that it is a uh that they view it as
6:00a race conflict on american campuses they're ignorant of the history they don't actually know
6:05anything they might say something like oh balfour declaration or 1948 or 67 or resolution
6:10242 of the they don't it doesn't matter they view it as white people jews
6:14oppressing brown people palestinians and that's really the sum total of their emotional involvement and
6:19that's always been the case by the way for the american left on these campuses
6:22so when this all broke out and all of a sudden people were turning around
6:26being like wait a second these campuses are like laboratories of lunacy were you like
6:30i told you so were you like yeah of course and i'm just wondering where
6:33where was your what was your sense of what was going on when all that
6:37was happening we saw coming from a mile away this had been stuff that people
6:41in all college campuses had been advocating for for a while was just the blatant
6:45anti -semitism on at university of maryland they held our senate election races on yom
6:50kippur the holiest fast day of the entire year for jews so that they couldn't
6:54participate all the bds rallies were on saturdays so that jews couldn't do anything about
6:58it we couldn't report it they really this has been going on for a long
7:01time and it's really because of qatar funding our universities we have china funding our
7:06universities any college campus that has a ccp chapter on their campus means china gets
7:11to approve the textbooks through uh certain deals with the universities so we've been infiltrated
7:16from the inside out and i'm glad that people are more aware of it now
7:20but a lot of people who have deep concerns for international relations and american sovereignty
7:24and security have been you know calling the alarms and blowing the whistles about this
7:28for a while that this wasn't new this was a very long long plan that
7:33has finally reached a point of mass awareness in society which is bad it's detrimental
7:38to society for us to all look at things through the lens of victim victor
7:42and especially that they were able to rebrand this story the jewish people are the
7:47largest example of victims turned victors going back to the holy land after 2 000
7:53years of exile reviving a dead language hebrew which is now the spoken language in
7:58israel spoken by jews mostly around the world it's pretty incredible and it's a great
8:01story of becoming victors after years of oppression and that should be the message that
8:06we were teaching on college campuses but like you said they were just teaching white
8:10bad brown good and that's not the message that we believe in in america what
8:15do you think about some of the stuff on the right that has got look
8:20i mean you mentioned charlie before i mean rest in peace obviously the people are
8:24still tonight uh erica kirk will be invited as a special guest of the president
8:28uh to uh commemorate to memorialize charlie kirk and to show support for his his
8:34his widow and charlie's family um but charlie was trying to deal with you know
8:40he was caught in the middle politically of this wave on the right of very
8:46you know i would hear people say well i just want to be i just
8:50want the right to criticize israel and i'd sit there and say well yeah you
8:54obviously have the right and there are things to criticize about israel like there are
8:58any country but the people who would say things like including america of course but
9:02the people who would say things like well i want the right to criticize israel
9:06will then say often false defamatory borderline insane things on the right which was something
9:14new where did that come because all the left -wing stuff by the way that
9:17was not a you know white people oppressing brown people they're always the victims palestinians
9:22hamass can you know can saw off heads light everyone on fire do whatever they
9:25want they're the victims that's the way it goes according to left and it's crazy
9:28but on the right where did that come from you know it's very interesting because
9:33i had the opportunity to go to israel on a christian influencer trip led by
9:37turning point a year before october 7th october of 2022 and i had the most
9:41incredible experience watching my dear christian friends fall in love with the holy land walk
9:46the exact lands that jesus had walked and really see the bible come to life
9:50before their eyes and they left israel with such a strong connection to the land
9:54and it is the holy land at the end of the day all three abrahamic
9:58faiths can connect to israel and so i think the biggest shift in this and
10:02which is the most obvious answer that nobody ever really speaks about is tucker and
10:05candace getting fired from their mainstream jobs if they were to continue to just do
10:10what they were doing beforehand i watched tucker every single night my entire life nobody
10:14was more disappointed in his shift than the jews who loved him he was my
10:18normal routine with my dad and i think it's very obvious that people who shift
10:22away from mainstream networks or their main platform when they go out independently or not
10:27really because they have these donors that we all know don't have the best ideas
10:31behind it but they have to keep going crazier to get attention it's the same
10:35thing on the left that you just have to keep going further and further to
10:38get the views up specifically candace owens if she were to just continue doing her
10:42thing trying to push out some level of conservative values like she had done at
10:45the daily wire people eventually maybe the first few episodes would have maintained the same
10:49viewership but over time people liked the institution that they like.
10:53People who turn Fox News on every day are not changing to some strange alternative
10:57channel. They're not necessarily going to switch over from YouTube to Rumble every single day.
11:01And so I think these people knew that and they knew that they had to
11:04keep going crazier and crazier.
11:05But overall, it's really damaging to conservative values because above all, we believe in true
11:11Judeo -Christian values. And I really believe in the strength between Jews and Christians.
11:16And I think that's the path forward is unity through shared values, because I think
11:21if you pull, and of course, people have gotten less religious, you pull an average
11:24religious Jew and you pull an average religious Christian, I think they would have 99
11:28% of their values in common as compared to any random far right, far left,
11:33or even a moderate that you would find off the street.
11:35And I think it's important that we remember that above all, God is above all,
11:39and we should be living values that God would be proud of.
11:42And those many individuals on the right, I think are doing it selfishly, and they're
11:46not trying to honor God, and they're trying to desecrate religion and hate Jews in
11:51the name of religion, which is just, it's just not good.
11:54You know, it's not helpful.
11:55And they're getting money out of it.
11:57But what are we getting the GOP is suffering people now think that Erica killed
12:01Charlie, like there are hundreds of 1000s of videos with hundreds of 1000s of likes
12:05on these topics that are just arsenide.
12:07And our real enemy should be the people who are trying to transition children, the
12:11people who want to have two year olds like Kathy Hochul fought to have two
12:14year olds masked for years after COVID.
12:16These are real developmental challenges that we're seeing in our country, educational standards falling behind
12:22the CDC lowering, first talking first walking for babies, we should be focusing on that
12:27as a country and pushing those values forward.
12:29And these are all distractions from the real issues that we can change.
12:32We can't change the hate in people's heart.
12:34We can't change the last 2000 years of Israeli Palestinian history.
12:38What we can change is the future of this country.
12:40And none of these individuals who claim to be America first are putting anything forward
12:44about the future of the country.
12:45Take a pause for a sec before I get your report card on Trump going
12:48into the State of the Union address for our sponsor here, Birch Gold Group.
12:52Look, international disputes, inflation, national debt, rising digital currency, a lot of reasons why gold
12:59has risen a lot like 700 % over the last 20 years, and over 60
13:04% last year alone. A lot of smart Americans are turning to gold as part
13:08of their long term portfolio strategy to preserve and grow wealth.
13:13See if holding gold in a tax sheltered retirement account is right for you.
13:17Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in
13:20gold. Text my name, Buck, to 989898.
13:24Text B -U -C -K to 989898.
13:28That's Birch Gold, A -plus rating with the Better Business Bureau, tens of thousands of
13:31happy customers. Text B -U -C -K to 989898.
13:35All right, the Trumpster. Some people say the greatest president of all presidents, like amazing.
13:41He's doing great. He's fabulous.
13:44Fantastic. Let me tell you, believe me.
13:48What's your sense of, first of all, the best thing that Trump has accomplished year
13:53one and the biggest thing, we've got a few minutes here, but the biggest thing
13:58that you want him to accomplish year two, but let's start with that first one.
14:01Biggest win year one. Biggest year win one, I think, has to be within the
14:06pharmaceutical department and Maha adjacent, but reducing the cost of insulin for diabetics to around
14:11$24 from like $300 plus.
14:15Unbelievable. I have a few friends who are diabetics.
14:17It has changed their life.
14:18While I don't personally necessarily believe or agree with IVF, that is another huge win
14:24in the medical field that Trump has done for all Americans, TrumpRx .com.
14:28I think that is hands down the biggest win.
14:30And the fact that there's no acknowledgement is pretty crazy because everybody's wanted free Medicare
14:35for all and cheaper drug prices.
14:37So I think most favored nation, lowering drug prices in our country will do so
14:42much good for America and reduce our healthcare costs.
14:44I think that's the best accomplishment.
14:46Aside from ending, you know, bringing the hostages home, that's kind of an obvious one
14:49for me, ending the war between Israel and Gaza.
14:51That's amazing. It would never happen without President Trump.
14:54But overall, the biggest win for America has to be focusing on the health and
14:58well -being of our country.
14:59Going into this upcoming year, I have felt, and I've said this to Trump, you
15:04know, I said this on Fox and Trump said he liked what I said and
15:07he's going to take the advice.
15:08But I felt like the first year was really focused on international politics, you know,
15:12trying to end the war with Ukraine and Russia, bringing the hostages home, bombing Iran,
15:17rightfully so. And I would really love to see this upcoming year not being treated
15:22as we're already waiting for 2028.
15:24I want some hard wins like we had in 2016.
15:27I want Trump to just come out swinging on everything for this country.
15:30The walls, immigration has been pretty much zero illegal immigrants coming in month to month,
15:36which has been great. But I really would love to see on the economy, it's
15:40been doing better than people say it is.
15:41But for young folks like myself, I really want to see something with taxes happen
15:45because I'm 25 years old.
15:46I'm saving up for a big future.
15:48I hope to have many children and children are expensive in this country.
15:51And I would love and I think it's important because young people are very rallied
15:55around politics these days for Trump to do something specifically that young folks like myself
15:59can feel in our bank accounts.
16:01And what he has the ability within Congress to pass is questionable.
16:06We'll see what happens in the midterms.
16:07I think we all know what direction that's heading and it doesn't look too great
16:10for us right now. But I would really love Trump to focus on some young
16:13folks. The medical wins were great for the older folks.
16:16But to get Gen Z and millennials rallied to the polls, we need to see.
16:20Yes, he went on the affordability tour, but that's kind of leftist talking points.
16:24I want to see tax breaks for the middle class and the upper class, too.
16:27People, regardless of class, I want tax breaks for young folks so that we can
16:31save for our future. Like there's Trump accounts for having babies.
16:34I think that's a good plan, and we should prepare Americans for financial literacy because
16:38Lord knows our education system has not been doing that.
16:42What is your top three all -star team of the Trump cabinet based on year
16:47one performance? Not on expectations going in, on accomplishments, year one, top Trump people.
16:53Who are they and what do they do?
16:56Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio.
16:59He does every single job in the administration, but in all seriousness, Marco Rubio has
17:02been an incredible asset in the Trump administration, the way that he represents us on
17:07the world stage. I think he's really holding the White House together, and a lot
17:10of people recognize that. Every time I see a meme of him, I instantly like
17:14it. That meme format, that's probably the best thing to come out of the administration.
17:17But Marco Rubio has been fabulous.
17:20I'm really confident in his future political career in this country, and I would be
17:23happy to support him. Number two, RFK Jr.
17:26I will be, I'll admit it, I didn't have the highest hopes going in.
17:30I believe in credentials. I would have loved an official doctor in that position originally,
17:34but after seeing the wins that MAHA has delivered for this country, I am so
17:38grateful that RFK Jr. is a part of this administration.
17:42And a number three, there's some really good ones, and a lot of them are
17:45my friends, so I'm trying to pass out the favor.
17:49But I think Brock Belcher, who may not be a more common name, he works
17:52within the new media and the influencer space in the White House, I think he's
17:56done a fabulous job at making this the most transparent administration in human history.
18:01The new media seat rotating, inviting a ton of young folks like myself and people
18:06with independent platforms to cover White House events, the media wouldn't even be let in
18:10under Joe Biden. So I think that that has been an incredible move by the
18:13administration, and you can really feel it now.
18:16Like, we know what's happening.
18:17Biden and everything was behind closed doors, and transparency is good for the American public.
18:22So those are my top three.
18:23I hope that we can rotate it a little bit going forward.
18:26And speaking honestly, because it's important that we call out our own side, I think
18:30there are two specifically women who can be replaced for much more skilled and adequate
18:37leaders who may also be women.
18:39It's not the fact that they're women, but as a woman, it doesn't make me
18:42feel so great. It's Gnome and Bondi.
18:44Yeah. They both have to go.
18:46Because you're being honest, and they both, they both, they failed the test you're one.
18:49They destroyed this administration. They've not only failed it, they have created so much bad
18:53PR. They have Kristi Noem as a woman who loves makeup and also loves ICE
18:59and immigration enforcement agents. I would never go full.
19:05There's optics is everything in politics, and the optics for the Trump administration is the
19:09only thing that the left looks at.
19:10They don't look at the wins.
19:11They don't look at 365 wins in 365 days on the White House website.
19:15They're only looking at the optics.
19:17And he needs stronger people, more Susie Wiles around him who will keep low profile
19:22and just do everything to make his administration win.
19:24Got to get the mission done.
19:25Debra Lea, great to have you on, and we'll have you back again soon.
19:29And thanks so much for the work you're doing.
19:31Thank you so much for having me.
19:33We went from normal life, healthy child, to acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or B -cell, ALL.
19:39The St. Jude team came up to get CJ via ambulance.
19:43It was a little bit of a scary drive.
19:45There was a time where the storms were really heavy.
19:47Shortly after that, I noticed a rainbow.
19:50It meant that there was hope.
19:52We were driving into hope.
19:54St. Jude gave us a hope that we didn't know was possible.
19:57I truly can't even imagine not having St.
20:00Jude in our lives. I knew that it was really bad, and I had a
20:03lot of questions, but I knew that everything was going to be okay.
20:07St. Jude saved everything that matters to us.
20:10I don't know that we'd have CJ without them.
20:13I am beyond grateful. My hopes are I can work with St.
20:17Jude. To have hope is to have St.
20:19Jude. To have hope is to have your child healthy, and we have that because
20:24of St. Jude. You can help kids fight childhood cancer.
