Floyd Brown joins with Stephen Strang to talk about how to Counter Punch the attack against our freedoms.
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,480
Hello everyone, I'm Stephen Strang and today on the Strang Report my guest is Floyd Brown
2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:10,160
He's the founder and owner of the Western Journal one of the leading
3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,480
Online news sources and he recently wrote a book which I had the privilege of
4
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:20,920
Publishing called counter punch and today we talk about the elites in Washington
5
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,440
We talk about the headlines that are happening so fast. It almost makes your head spin
6
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:32,720
He has a lot of perspective not only as a journalist, but also in politics. He used to work for Ronald Reagan
7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:40,280
He was very high up on the campaign for Senator Doyle when he ran in 96. He talks about that
8
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,780
he also talks about what's happening with the elites in the Democratic Party and
9
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:50,120
How his book gives some answers in fact on the back of the book it says is it possible?
10
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,060
For renewal to come through peaceful pushback rather than powerful elites
11
00:00:55,060 --> 00:00:59,640
You don't want to miss my conversation with Floyd Brown. Stay tuned
12
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:16,280
Floyd Brown we're living in some historic times. I mean just consider what's happened in the last couple of weeks the
13
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,080
failed assassination attempt on our
14
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,400
former president
15
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,400
President Biden dropping out of the race
16
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,840
Kamala Harris getting all the delegates or at least appearing to
17
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:33,680
Tell me what's going on. What do you think's going on from your perspective as the founder of Western Journal?
18
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,360
Well, Steve, I've been in the news business 40 years and I've never
19
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:46,840
Experienced a two-month period like we've experienced this summer of this election year 2024
20
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,840
It's absolutely unprecedented
21
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,680
unprecedented and I think it's because the stakes are so high and
22
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,520
everyone understands that America hangs by a thread and
23
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,360
It's this election which is going to decide it all
24
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:09,440
Do we go the way of countries like Venezuela or do we reclaim the foundations of America?
25
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:17,920
Do we reclaim our godly heritage? Do we reclaim our destiny as the protector of Israel? And so
26
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,920
everything
27
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:21,920
absolutely
28
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:24,920
Everything is on the line. And so
29
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,200
Yes, you're right. You know, I just returned from the Republican National Convention where I
30
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:36,640
was able to see the new vice presidential nominee JD Vance and
31
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,600
also had an opportunity to
32
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,680
see President Trump after he had been
33
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:48,480
shot and they had tried to assassinate him and and kill him in Butler, Pennsylvania and
34
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,560
I you know, my only conclusion is
35
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,080
That it was an absolute
36
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,440
miracle that Jesus
37
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,440
reached down from heaven and in a
38
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:08,680
supernatural act either control the head of Donald Trump to to move or or
39
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,840
Or set the bullet to the wind whatever it was that Jesus did
40
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:20,160
It's so clearly a miracle and that's one of the reasons why I think it's so important
41
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,200
because
42
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,240
all of America for at least 48 hours
43
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:30,200
was focused on and transfixed by that miracle and
44
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:37,440
Everybody agreed. It was an absolute miracle. So, you know, we've kind of since
45
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,320
That time we had the Republican Convention and then and then of course Joe Biden
46
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,840
Was pushed out of the race. We now are learning that it was really
47
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:55,360
He had to leave or they were gonna remove him based on the 25th Amendment and that
48
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:01,520
in essence Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries and
49
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,120
Schumer the leader of the Senate Chuck Schumer
50
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,960
And Kamala Harris all got together and basically said to the Biden family
51
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,280
You're gonna leave this race or we're gonna remove you as president
52
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,960
And so he chose to stay as president
53
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,960
and not have that stain of history of being removed by the 25th Amendment and
54
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,640
And drop out of the race, but he was essentially extorted out of the race, which
55
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,560
In my mind is a crime in and of itself, but you know what you describe Floyd
56
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,280
Is really a coup now. We don't think of coups in our country because of our Democratic Republic
57
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:51,280
But in many countries in the world, they've removed leaders with a coup and they removed a sitting president
58
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,800
From office at least in the second term, you know
59
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:01,600
If he he doesn't have the chance to to serve a second term and the irony to me
60
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,600
And I want to know what you think about this
61
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,400
Is that the Democrats are the ones who say that?
62
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:13,600
Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy yet here. We have a coup
63
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:22,080
And Biden if I remember correctly got 14 million votes in the primaries where individual people went to the ballot
64
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,800
Box and voted for him to be the the nominee of the Democratic Party
65
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,880
and
66
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,400
to me
67
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,400
This seems like
68
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,440
Backroom politics, you know, we think we the old expression smoke-filled rooms
69
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:45,680
What do you think? Oh all of that? And in fact, um, you know, my first book was about Bill Clinton
70
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,640
It was called slick Willy why America cannot trust Bill Clinton
71
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,200
And I wrote it many years ago way back in the 90s and interestingly
72
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:58,560
I had a saying back then when I was talking about my book is is basically
73
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,240
Listen carefully to whatever Bill Clinton is saying
74
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,040
And it's the opposite
75
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,600
And and it actually really held true throughout his entire administration
76
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,680
If you listened carefully to what he was saying, he was doing the opposite
77
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,240
And that's exactly what we've been seeing in this campaign
78
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:25,600
The whole premise of their campaign has been quote. Donald Trump is a threat to democracy
79
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:34,160
And the reason they say that is because of obviously, uh the riot that took place on January 6th
80
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,000
But what they don't tell you is that Donald Trump
81
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,600
right after that left Washington DC he didn't try to
82
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,720
Claim the presidency or hold on to the presidency
83
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,280
After the the the congress had certified a winner
84
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,920
And so he was never a threat to democracy
85
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:03,600
But they are in fact the threat to democracy and you see that through exactly what you do
86
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,520
Just described that they did in the democratic party
87
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,360
Uh here you have joe biden who ran in the primaries and and by the way
88
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,360
It's important for people to understand that
89
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,840
Robert kennedy jr
90
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,640
Wanted to run as a democrat
91
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,320
And in fact when he first launched his campaign
92
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,840
He launched it as a democratic party
93
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:36,080
He launched it as a democrat running for the the nomination
94
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,360
To be president in the democratic party
95
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:46,320
But they used such unbelievable anti-democratic tools against him steve
96
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:52,960
They forced him to run as an independent because he couldn't get a fair shake inside the so-called
97
00:07:53,580 --> 00:07:55,580
democracy of the democratic party
98
00:07:55,580 --> 00:08:00,640
And that's why he left and exited the building and started to run as an independent
99
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:08,160
But then they held this primary process and joe biden won these huge numbers of delegates
100
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:10,700
In primary after primary
101
00:08:11,340 --> 00:08:16,000
And now essentially all of those votes are being invalidated
102
00:08:16,860 --> 00:08:19,980
So in essence the democratic process worked
103
00:08:19,980 --> 00:08:26,380
The people chose joe biden through their primaries and their caucus process
104
00:08:26,940 --> 00:08:31,500
And yet the party elites and the elites in washington dc have said
105
00:08:32,140 --> 00:08:36,780
No, we don't care about your votes. We don't care about process
106
00:08:37,340 --> 00:08:44,780
We only care about winning and controlling power, which is really what they're always focused on and so they just literally
107
00:08:44,780 --> 00:08:49,520
extorted him and and and got him to drop out
108
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,160
and i'm not convinced that
109
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,320
Kamala harris is going to be the nominee. I know that allegedly she has all these delegates and
110
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,480
and uh, you know her campaign has launched and she's been
111
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,360
In uh, you know kind of in the driver's seat for the last week and a half
112
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:14,000
But mark my words the minute her poll numbers start to falter against donald trump
113
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,480
they're going to be looking for somebody else because
114
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:23,280
The modus operandi of these elites these globalist elites that control the democrat party
115
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,440
Is they can't afford to not be in power?
116
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:35,120
because as I explained in my book counterpunch in great detail and and let me just say thank you again to
117
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:42,880
Charisma for publishing my book because I think it's a very important book and and I think every american needs to read it
118
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,120
What I explain in great detail
119
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,400
Is that their system doesn't work without controlling government?
120
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,880
Because they use it as a funnel to keep all of their various groups happy
121
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:02,880
For example the military industrial complex, which I go into great detail as to why
122
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,640
In my entire lifetime a war has not been won by the united states of america
123
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,400
because
124
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:15,280
Once the military industrial complex got started steve
125
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:20,020
The purpose wasn't winning wars anymore. It was expending
126
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:26,400
the maximum amount of money to generate the maximum amount of profits
127
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:32,240
For the maximum amount of elites that are benefiting from that military industrial complex
128
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,920
Same with big pharma. I go into great detail how they have to control
129
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,240
the fda and the
130
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,540
the the the uh the food and drug administration they have to control the cdc
131
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:54,320
The center for disease control and these other agencies because they literally mint money for the elites of the party
132
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,800
through their various policies
133
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:02,400
And uh, so it's it you know the book counterpunch. It isn't just about
134
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,120
This election it's really about
135
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:11,380
It's really about understanding the way our country has been run over the last 50 years
136
00:11:11,940 --> 00:11:15,700
And that's why it's so important and significant that people read it
137
00:11:16,180 --> 00:11:21,300
And uh, well I want to pivot and talk about the book. That's really why we did this podcast
138
00:11:21,460 --> 00:11:25,620
But if I may I want to make two short comments
139
00:11:26,020 --> 00:11:29,700
I agree with you that kamala harris may not be the one we
140
00:11:30,420 --> 00:11:32,260
In fact, I just read
141
00:11:32,260 --> 00:11:36,500
In fact, it may have been a western journal since I read your site every single day
142
00:11:37,060 --> 00:11:42,920
But somebody was speculating that they may go to her get her to drop out in exchange
143
00:11:43,860 --> 00:11:44,820
for
144
00:11:44,820 --> 00:11:51,060
Getting the 25th amendment to remove biden so that for a few months. She is technically the first woman
145
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,300
President and she may just want to go down to the history books
146
00:11:55,300 --> 00:12:01,800
And who knows if that'll happen, but there are powerful forces
147
00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:09,860
And it's not just democratic party it's in what we call the deep state and I will agree with one thing they're saying the donald
148
00:12:10,580 --> 00:12:15,780
Trump is a threat but it's not to democracy is to the is to the deep state
149
00:12:16,660 --> 00:12:21,220
And it's toward wokeness because the democratic party is becoming more and more
150
00:12:21,220 --> 00:12:27,780
Woke more and more socialistic and donald trump wants to change that I think the democrats
151
00:12:28,420 --> 00:12:33,300
Say that he's a threat to democracy, but they're defining democracy in their woke
152
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,620
leftist
153
00:12:35,620 --> 00:12:39,380
Controlling kind of way and donald trump is a threat to that
154
00:12:40,020 --> 00:12:43,380
But they use democracy very very differently than you and I do
155
00:12:43,460 --> 00:12:49,860
So let's talk about your book because your book is almost like a playbook of how we can take back
156
00:12:49,860 --> 00:12:57,540
the country how can we encourage just average people to get the book to implement it and also to get this in the hands of
157
00:12:57,540 --> 00:13:00,740
some of the party elites who could use some of the
158
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,300
principles that you
159
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:07,860
Are so articulate and sharing that would help not only at the top of the ticket
160
00:13:07,860 --> 00:13:13,780
But all but actually all the way down the ticket to local school boards and city councils
161
00:13:14,580 --> 00:13:18,920
Yeah, well, you know I wrote this book essentially for christians
162
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,840
that
163
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:27,160
Want to become involved in the in the in the whole public policy process and I start from a
164
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,720
position of stewardship as a citizen
165
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:38,280
We have a stewardship responsibility as christians in order to exercise our
166
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:45,320
Our vote and to do it in such a way that we bring honor to jesus christ
167
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:52,360
And the truth is is that you know, I like to say when when when when I gave my life to jesus steve
168
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,080
I didn't just give him sunday. I didn't just give him the day of rest
169
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,800
I gave him monday through saturday, but I gave him
170
00:14:02,740 --> 00:14:08,600
Lordship over every aspect of my life. That means he's the lord over my job
171
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,640
He's the lord over my family. He's the lord over the relationship
172
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,200
I have with my wife. He's the lord over all and
173
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,160
and as as christians
174
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,320
That means he's the lord
175
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:31,720
over our citizenship duties and I go into great detail what every christian can do in order to to
176
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:39,480
to be a good steward of those and uh, you know, I talk about the really the local level because it really starts with
177
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,760
Getting to know your neighbors. I know that sounds
178
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,960
Super basic, but there's a reason that they put the entire country
179
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:54,520
On house arrest during covet steve and there's a reason why they shut down churches
180
00:14:54,840 --> 00:15:00,360
And they shut down koanis groups and lions groups and rotary clubs
181
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,160
And the reason is is because
182
00:15:04,260 --> 00:15:06,040
disconnected
183
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,440
outside of unity with others
184
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,920
Uh, we're weak and we're easy to pick off and we're full of fear
185
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:20,280
But the way god made us is he made us to be in community with others
186
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,960
He made us to be in families. He made us to be
187
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,200
You know connected with the people in our communities. And so
188
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:35,480
I encourage everybody the first thing they need to get to do is is walk out their front door
189
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,680
Turn to the right or the left and get to know their neighbors
190
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,360
And that's really a wonderful thing if you want to see uh, you know the country go in a certain direction
191
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,960
You have big influence in your neighborhood
192
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,120
with your
193
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,120
neighbors and uh,
194
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,440
You know share with them not in an overbearing or dogmatic way
195
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,720
but just share with them as as as you would want to be shared with and
196
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:09,080
I guarantee you you're going to find reception but you're also going to have a positive impact on the country
197
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:10,520
and
198
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,120
You know, maybe you're going to find that they're open to the gospel
199
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,720
I believe america is more open to the gospel today
200
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,480
because
201
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:26,120
Of all of these political issues people feel disconnected they feel I like to use the word
202
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:32,200
I like to use the word discombobulated. Yeah, I know I think it's a made-up word, but it basically they're
203
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,440
They they don't know how to how to put order to their life
204
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:44,280
and really jesus is the only one that can fill that void and jesus is the only one that can
205
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:50,600
Can can write the ship and and they're more open to jesus today than they've ever been
206
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:59,000
And people want jesus people need jesus and you're the perfect person to share it with them because you're their next door neighbor
207
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:05,400
And then I talk about going beyond your neighborhood getting involved in your city getting involved in your county
208
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:11,000
Maybe getting involved in a state legislative race that will decide who's going to be running
209
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,560
Your your your local state
210
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:19,720
And then and then maybe even get involved in the donald trump campaign, but there are
211
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:27,400
many many opportunities for christians to have a positive impact in their communities and shame on
212
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,120
Anyone that says we shouldn't be out there loving our neighbors
213
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,680
I agree with you entirely
214
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,200
And we only have a few more minutes
215
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,080
I want to know if you could explain to us in a few words because I want people to go out and buy your book
216
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,400
Why does the basic?
217
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:48,440
Premise of the book what is unique about your book that aren't in a lot of other books where people
218
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,680
Have tried to get citizens involved in government in a godly kind of way
219
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:59,800
Yeah, well, uh frankly, I think at the core of my book is the message of jesus, which is
220
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:01,560
love
221
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,920
One another and love your neighbor as yourself
222
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,960
And love your community as you love yourself love your city as you love yourself
223
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,560
Love your state as you love yourself. That's at the core of
224
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,160
Of of what I talk about. It's kind of underlying
225
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,360
underlying
226
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:22,280
Everything but what I also do is you know
227
00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:27,640
I bring the 40 years of political experience I have having worked for ronald reagan and
228
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:33,640
Having worked for bob dole and having worked on capitol hill and and in countless political races
229
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:38,920
I bring the practical knowledge that I have from that and from my years in journalism
230
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:45,660
To to help create kind of a synthesis to give you the tools you need in order to be successful
231
00:18:45,660 --> 00:18:49,980
And so that was my real goal. I really just poured
232
00:18:50,860 --> 00:18:55,180
Everything I had in me into this book and I felt like the holy spirit
233
00:18:55,500 --> 00:19:01,820
Wanted me to write this book and wanted me to write it for christians so that they could understand how important it is
234
00:19:02,220 --> 00:19:08,540
That they claim their stewardship as citizens of the united states and live out their walk with christ
235
00:19:08,860 --> 00:19:10,860
In front of their neighbors and community
236
00:19:10,860 --> 00:19:17,900
So well said and we've got to wrap this up. So I want to give you the last word and then i'll be back with a closing thought
237
00:19:18,540 --> 00:19:25,020
well the last word I have is we serve a god that is in charge and
238
00:19:25,900 --> 00:19:32,540
You know, we don't know what tomorrow holds but he promises us one thing and that is to not fear
239
00:19:32,940 --> 00:19:35,260
and to trust him and
240
00:19:36,140 --> 00:19:39,180
That's what i'm going to do and that's what I encourage
241
00:19:39,180 --> 00:19:44,460
Everyone to do is just grab on to jesus as you get closer to him
242
00:19:45,420 --> 00:19:50,300
He is going to share with you exactly what he wants you to do
243
00:19:50,780 --> 00:19:53,500
To live out your life for him
244
00:19:53,980 --> 00:19:59,900
Thank you for staying tuned. I wanted to say something about counterpunch. I believe this is a very important book
245
00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:04,220
It's a fairly thick book, but it'll tell people how they can
246
00:20:04,220 --> 00:20:09,100
As christians get involved in the system and we can take it back
247
00:20:09,820 --> 00:20:14,540
Floyd and I talked about some of the serious things that are happening in our America in america
248
00:20:14,860 --> 00:20:19,900
And we need to have tools to help us a lot of christians feel powerless
249
00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:26,060
They aren't involved because they think they're not willing to do the dirty things that they associate with politics
250
00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:30,540
But this is a peaceful way as I said at the top of the program
251
00:20:30,540 --> 00:20:34,060
Is it possible for renewal to come through peaceful pushback?
252
00:20:34,620 --> 00:20:40,800
Rather than powerful elites you need to pick up the copy probably the easiest way is on amazon.com
253
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:45,740
But you can also go to my website, which is called my charisma shop
254
00:20:46,140 --> 00:20:48,960
Dot com and pick up a copy of Counterpunch
255
00:20:49,900 --> 00:20:55,580
By Floyd Brown. Share this video with other people share the link on social media

Hello everyone, I'm Stephen Strang and today on the Strang Report my guest is Floyd Brown
2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:10,160
He's the founder and owner of the Western Journal one of the leading
3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,480
Online news sources and he recently wrote a book which I had the privilege of
4
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:20,920
Publishing called counter punch and today we talk about the elites in Washington
5
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,440
We talk about the headlines that are happening so fast. It almost makes your head spin
6
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:32,720
He has a lot of perspective not only as a journalist, but also in politics. He used to work for Ronald Reagan
7
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:40,280
He was very high up on the campaign for Senator Doyle when he ran in 96. He talks about that
8
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,780
he also talks about what's happening with the elites in the Democratic Party and
9
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:50,120
How his book gives some answers in fact on the back of the book it says is it possible?
10
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,060
For renewal to come through peaceful pushback rather than powerful elites
11
00:00:55,060 --> 00:00:59,640
You don't want to miss my conversation with Floyd Brown. Stay tuned
12
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:16,280
Floyd Brown we're living in some historic times. I mean just consider what's happened in the last couple of weeks the
13
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,080
failed assassination attempt on our
14
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,400
former president
15
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,400
President Biden dropping out of the race
16
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,840
Kamala Harris getting all the delegates or at least appearing to
17
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:33,680
Tell me what's going on. What do you think's going on from your perspective as the founder of Western Journal?
18
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,360
Well, Steve, I've been in the news business 40 years and I've never
19
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:46,840
Experienced a two-month period like we've experienced this summer of this election year 2024
20
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,840
It's absolutely unprecedented
21
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,680
unprecedented and I think it's because the stakes are so high and
22
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,520
everyone understands that America hangs by a thread and
23
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,360
It's this election which is going to decide it all
24
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:09,440
Do we go the way of countries like Venezuela or do we reclaim the foundations of America?
25
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:17,920
Do we reclaim our godly heritage? Do we reclaim our destiny as the protector of Israel? And so
26
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:19,920
everything
27
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:21,920
absolutely
28
00:02:21,920 --> 00:02:24,920
Everything is on the line. And so
29
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,200
Yes, you're right. You know, I just returned from the Republican National Convention where I
30
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:36,640
was able to see the new vice presidential nominee JD Vance and
31
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,600
also had an opportunity to
32
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,680
see President Trump after he had been
33
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:48,480
shot and they had tried to assassinate him and and kill him in Butler, Pennsylvania and
34
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,560
I you know, my only conclusion is
35
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,080
That it was an absolute
36
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,440
miracle that Jesus
37
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,440
reached down from heaven and in a
38
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:08,680
supernatural act either control the head of Donald Trump to to move or or
39
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,840
Or set the bullet to the wind whatever it was that Jesus did
40
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:20,160
It's so clearly a miracle and that's one of the reasons why I think it's so important
41
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,200
because
42
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,240
all of America for at least 48 hours
43
00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:30,200
was focused on and transfixed by that miracle and
44
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:37,440
Everybody agreed. It was an absolute miracle. So, you know, we've kind of since
45
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:42,320
That time we had the Republican Convention and then and then of course Joe Biden
46
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,840
Was pushed out of the race. We now are learning that it was really
47
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:55,360
He had to leave or they were gonna remove him based on the 25th Amendment and that
48
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:01,520
in essence Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries and
49
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,120
Schumer the leader of the Senate Chuck Schumer
50
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:10,960
And Kamala Harris all got together and basically said to the Biden family
51
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,280
You're gonna leave this race or we're gonna remove you as president
52
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,960
And so he chose to stay as president
53
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:24,960
and not have that stain of history of being removed by the 25th Amendment and
54
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,640
And drop out of the race, but he was essentially extorted out of the race, which
55
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:36,560
In my mind is a crime in and of itself, but you know what you describe Floyd
56
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,280
Is really a coup now. We don't think of coups in our country because of our Democratic Republic
57
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:51,280
But in many countries in the world, they've removed leaders with a coup and they removed a sitting president
58
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,800
From office at least in the second term, you know
59
00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:01,600
If he he doesn't have the chance to to serve a second term and the irony to me
60
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,600
And I want to know what you think about this
61
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,400
Is that the Democrats are the ones who say that?
62
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:13,600
Donald Trump is an existential threat to democracy yet here. We have a coup
63
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:22,080
And Biden if I remember correctly got 14 million votes in the primaries where individual people went to the ballot
64
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,800
Box and voted for him to be the the nominee of the Democratic Party
65
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,880
and
66
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,400
to me
67
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,400
This seems like
68
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,440
Backroom politics, you know, we think we the old expression smoke-filled rooms
69
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:45,680
What do you think? Oh all of that? And in fact, um, you know, my first book was about Bill Clinton
70
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,640
It was called slick Willy why America cannot trust Bill Clinton
71
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,200
And I wrote it many years ago way back in the 90s and interestingly
72
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:58,560
I had a saying back then when I was talking about my book is is basically
73
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,240
Listen carefully to whatever Bill Clinton is saying
74
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,040
And it's the opposite
75
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,600
And and it actually really held true throughout his entire administration
76
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,680
If you listened carefully to what he was saying, he was doing the opposite
77
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,240
And that's exactly what we've been seeing in this campaign
78
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:25,600
The whole premise of their campaign has been quote. Donald Trump is a threat to democracy
79
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:34,160
And the reason they say that is because of obviously, uh the riot that took place on January 6th
80
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,000
But what they don't tell you is that Donald Trump
81
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:43,600
right after that left Washington DC he didn't try to
82
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,720
Claim the presidency or hold on to the presidency
83
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,280
After the the the congress had certified a winner
84
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,920
And so he was never a threat to democracy
85
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:03,600
But they are in fact the threat to democracy and you see that through exactly what you do
86
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,520
Just described that they did in the democratic party
87
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,360
Uh here you have joe biden who ran in the primaries and and by the way
88
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,360
It's important for people to understand that
89
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,840
Robert kennedy jr
90
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,640
Wanted to run as a democrat
91
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,320
And in fact when he first launched his campaign
92
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,840
He launched it as a democratic party
93
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:36,080
He launched it as a democrat running for the the nomination
94
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,360
To be president in the democratic party
95
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:46,320
But they used such unbelievable anti-democratic tools against him steve
96
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:52,960
They forced him to run as an independent because he couldn't get a fair shake inside the so-called
97
00:07:53,580 --> 00:07:55,580
democracy of the democratic party
98
00:07:55,580 --> 00:08:00,640
And that's why he left and exited the building and started to run as an independent
99
00:08:01,500 --> 00:08:08,160
But then they held this primary process and joe biden won these huge numbers of delegates
100
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:10,700
In primary after primary
101
00:08:11,340 --> 00:08:16,000
And now essentially all of those votes are being invalidated
102
00:08:16,860 --> 00:08:19,980
So in essence the democratic process worked
103
00:08:19,980 --> 00:08:26,380
The people chose joe biden through their primaries and their caucus process
104
00:08:26,940 --> 00:08:31,500
And yet the party elites and the elites in washington dc have said
105
00:08:32,140 --> 00:08:36,780
No, we don't care about your votes. We don't care about process
106
00:08:37,340 --> 00:08:44,780
We only care about winning and controlling power, which is really what they're always focused on and so they just literally
107
00:08:44,780 --> 00:08:49,520
extorted him and and and got him to drop out
108
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,160
and i'm not convinced that
109
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:58,320
Kamala harris is going to be the nominee. I know that allegedly she has all these delegates and
110
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,480
and uh, you know her campaign has launched and she's been
111
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,360
In uh, you know kind of in the driver's seat for the last week and a half
112
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:14,000
But mark my words the minute her poll numbers start to falter against donald trump
113
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,480
they're going to be looking for somebody else because
114
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:23,280
The modus operandi of these elites these globalist elites that control the democrat party
115
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,440
Is they can't afford to not be in power?
116
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:35,120
because as I explained in my book counterpunch in great detail and and let me just say thank you again to
117
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:42,880
Charisma for publishing my book because I think it's a very important book and and I think every american needs to read it
118
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,120
What I explain in great detail
119
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,400
Is that their system doesn't work without controlling government?
120
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,880
Because they use it as a funnel to keep all of their various groups happy
121
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:02,880
For example the military industrial complex, which I go into great detail as to why
122
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,640
In my entire lifetime a war has not been won by the united states of america
123
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,400
because
124
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:15,280
Once the military industrial complex got started steve
125
00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:20,020
The purpose wasn't winning wars anymore. It was expending
126
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:26,400
the maximum amount of money to generate the maximum amount of profits
127
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:32,240
For the maximum amount of elites that are benefiting from that military industrial complex
128
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:37,920
Same with big pharma. I go into great detail how they have to control
129
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,240
the fda and the
130
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,540
the the the uh the food and drug administration they have to control the cdc
131
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:54,320
The center for disease control and these other agencies because they literally mint money for the elites of the party
132
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,800
through their various policies
133
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:02,400
And uh, so it's it you know the book counterpunch. It isn't just about
134
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,120
This election it's really about
135
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:11,380
It's really about understanding the way our country has been run over the last 50 years
136
00:11:11,940 --> 00:11:15,700
And that's why it's so important and significant that people read it
137
00:11:16,180 --> 00:11:21,300
And uh, well I want to pivot and talk about the book. That's really why we did this podcast
138
00:11:21,460 --> 00:11:25,620
But if I may I want to make two short comments
139
00:11:26,020 --> 00:11:29,700
I agree with you that kamala harris may not be the one we
140
00:11:30,420 --> 00:11:32,260
In fact, I just read
141
00:11:32,260 --> 00:11:36,500
In fact, it may have been a western journal since I read your site every single day
142
00:11:37,060 --> 00:11:42,920
But somebody was speculating that they may go to her get her to drop out in exchange
143
00:11:43,860 --> 00:11:44,820
for
144
00:11:44,820 --> 00:11:51,060
Getting the 25th amendment to remove biden so that for a few months. She is technically the first woman
145
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,300
President and she may just want to go down to the history books
146
00:11:55,300 --> 00:12:01,800
And who knows if that'll happen, but there are powerful forces
147
00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:09,860
And it's not just democratic party it's in what we call the deep state and I will agree with one thing they're saying the donald
148
00:12:10,580 --> 00:12:15,780
Trump is a threat but it's not to democracy is to the is to the deep state
149
00:12:16,660 --> 00:12:21,220
And it's toward wokeness because the democratic party is becoming more and more
150
00:12:21,220 --> 00:12:27,780
Woke more and more socialistic and donald trump wants to change that I think the democrats
151
00:12:28,420 --> 00:12:33,300
Say that he's a threat to democracy, but they're defining democracy in their woke
152
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,620
leftist
153
00:12:35,620 --> 00:12:39,380
Controlling kind of way and donald trump is a threat to that
154
00:12:40,020 --> 00:12:43,380
But they use democracy very very differently than you and I do
155
00:12:43,460 --> 00:12:49,860
So let's talk about your book because your book is almost like a playbook of how we can take back
156
00:12:49,860 --> 00:12:57,540
the country how can we encourage just average people to get the book to implement it and also to get this in the hands of
157
00:12:57,540 --> 00:13:00,740
some of the party elites who could use some of the
158
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,300
principles that you
159
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:07,860
Are so articulate and sharing that would help not only at the top of the ticket
160
00:13:07,860 --> 00:13:13,780
But all but actually all the way down the ticket to local school boards and city councils
161
00:13:14,580 --> 00:13:18,920
Yeah, well, you know I wrote this book essentially for christians
162
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,840
that
163
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:27,160
Want to become involved in the in the in the whole public policy process and I start from a
164
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,720
position of stewardship as a citizen
165
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:38,280
We have a stewardship responsibility as christians in order to exercise our
166
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:45,320
Our vote and to do it in such a way that we bring honor to jesus christ
167
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:52,360
And the truth is is that you know, I like to say when when when when I gave my life to jesus steve
168
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,080
I didn't just give him sunday. I didn't just give him the day of rest
169
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,800
I gave him monday through saturday, but I gave him
170
00:14:02,740 --> 00:14:08,600
Lordship over every aspect of my life. That means he's the lord over my job
171
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,640
He's the lord over my family. He's the lord over the relationship
172
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:18,200
I have with my wife. He's the lord over all and
173
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,160
and as as christians
174
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,320
That means he's the lord
175
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:31,720
over our citizenship duties and I go into great detail what every christian can do in order to to
176
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:39,480
to be a good steward of those and uh, you know, I talk about the really the local level because it really starts with
177
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,760
Getting to know your neighbors. I know that sounds
178
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,960
Super basic, but there's a reason that they put the entire country
179
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:54,520
On house arrest during covet steve and there's a reason why they shut down churches
180
00:14:54,840 --> 00:15:00,360
And they shut down koanis groups and lions groups and rotary clubs
181
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,160
And the reason is is because
182
00:15:04,260 --> 00:15:06,040
disconnected
183
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,440
outside of unity with others
184
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,920
Uh, we're weak and we're easy to pick off and we're full of fear
185
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:20,280
But the way god made us is he made us to be in community with others
186
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,960
He made us to be in families. He made us to be
187
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,200
You know connected with the people in our communities. And so
188
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:35,480
I encourage everybody the first thing they need to get to do is is walk out their front door
189
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,680
Turn to the right or the left and get to know their neighbors
190
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:44,360
And that's really a wonderful thing if you want to see uh, you know the country go in a certain direction
191
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,960
You have big influence in your neighborhood
192
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,120
with your
193
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,120
neighbors and uh,
194
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,440
You know share with them not in an overbearing or dogmatic way
195
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:01,720
but just share with them as as as you would want to be shared with and
196
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:09,080
I guarantee you you're going to find reception but you're also going to have a positive impact on the country
197
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:10,520
and
198
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,120
You know, maybe you're going to find that they're open to the gospel
199
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,720
I believe america is more open to the gospel today
200
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,480
because
201
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:26,120
Of all of these political issues people feel disconnected they feel I like to use the word
202
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:32,200
I like to use the word discombobulated. Yeah, I know I think it's a made-up word, but it basically they're
203
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,440
They they don't know how to how to put order to their life
204
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:44,280
and really jesus is the only one that can fill that void and jesus is the only one that can
205
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:50,600
Can can write the ship and and they're more open to jesus today than they've ever been
206
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:59,000
And people want jesus people need jesus and you're the perfect person to share it with them because you're their next door neighbor
207
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:05,400
And then I talk about going beyond your neighborhood getting involved in your city getting involved in your county
208
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:11,000
Maybe getting involved in a state legislative race that will decide who's going to be running
209
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,560
Your your your local state
210
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:19,720
And then and then maybe even get involved in the donald trump campaign, but there are
211
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:27,400
many many opportunities for christians to have a positive impact in their communities and shame on
212
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:32,120
Anyone that says we shouldn't be out there loving our neighbors
213
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,680
I agree with you entirely
214
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,200
And we only have a few more minutes
215
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,080
I want to know if you could explain to us in a few words because I want people to go out and buy your book
216
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,400
Why does the basic?
217
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:48,440
Premise of the book what is unique about your book that aren't in a lot of other books where people
218
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,680
Have tried to get citizens involved in government in a godly kind of way
219
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:59,800
Yeah, well, uh frankly, I think at the core of my book is the message of jesus, which is
220
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:01,560
love
221
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,920
One another and love your neighbor as yourself
222
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,960
And love your community as you love yourself love your city as you love yourself
223
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,560
Love your state as you love yourself. That's at the core of
224
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,160
Of of what I talk about. It's kind of underlying
225
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,360
underlying
226
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:22,280
Everything but what I also do is you know
227
00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:27,640
I bring the 40 years of political experience I have having worked for ronald reagan and
228
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:33,640
Having worked for bob dole and having worked on capitol hill and and in countless political races
229
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:38,920
I bring the practical knowledge that I have from that and from my years in journalism
230
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:45,660
To to help create kind of a synthesis to give you the tools you need in order to be successful
231
00:18:45,660 --> 00:18:49,980
And so that was my real goal. I really just poured
232
00:18:50,860 --> 00:18:55,180
Everything I had in me into this book and I felt like the holy spirit
233
00:18:55,500 --> 00:19:01,820
Wanted me to write this book and wanted me to write it for christians so that they could understand how important it is
234
00:19:02,220 --> 00:19:08,540
That they claim their stewardship as citizens of the united states and live out their walk with christ
235
00:19:08,860 --> 00:19:10,860
In front of their neighbors and community
236
00:19:10,860 --> 00:19:17,900
So well said and we've got to wrap this up. So I want to give you the last word and then i'll be back with a closing thought
237
00:19:18,540 --> 00:19:25,020
well the last word I have is we serve a god that is in charge and
238
00:19:25,900 --> 00:19:32,540
You know, we don't know what tomorrow holds but he promises us one thing and that is to not fear
239
00:19:32,940 --> 00:19:35,260
and to trust him and
240
00:19:36,140 --> 00:19:39,180
That's what i'm going to do and that's what I encourage
241
00:19:39,180 --> 00:19:44,460
Everyone to do is just grab on to jesus as you get closer to him
242
00:19:45,420 --> 00:19:50,300
He is going to share with you exactly what he wants you to do
243
00:19:50,780 --> 00:19:53,500
To live out your life for him
244
00:19:53,980 --> 00:19:59,900
Thank you for staying tuned. I wanted to say something about counterpunch. I believe this is a very important book
245
00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:04,220
It's a fairly thick book, but it'll tell people how they can
246
00:20:04,220 --> 00:20:09,100
As christians get involved in the system and we can take it back
247
00:20:09,820 --> 00:20:14,540
Floyd and I talked about some of the serious things that are happening in our America in america
248
00:20:14,860 --> 00:20:19,900
And we need to have tools to help us a lot of christians feel powerless
249
00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:26,060
They aren't involved because they think they're not willing to do the dirty things that they associate with politics
250
00:20:26,300 --> 00:20:30,540
But this is a peaceful way as I said at the top of the program
251
00:20:30,540 --> 00:20:34,060
Is it possible for renewal to come through peaceful pushback?
252
00:20:34,620 --> 00:20:40,800
Rather than powerful elites you need to pick up the copy probably the easiest way is on amazon.com
253
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:45,740
But you can also go to my website, which is called my charisma shop
254
00:20:46,140 --> 00:20:48,960
Dot com and pick up a copy of Counterpunch
