Greitens attributed his commanding polling lead to his campaign\u2019s America first rhetoric.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019m the MAGA candidate in this race. I\u2019m the America first candidate in this race. I came out, and we went down to Maricopa County to investigate election integrity. I was the first person in the country to say that when I\u2019m in the Senate, why I\u2019m voting against Mitch McConnell because we need strong America first leadership. We\u2019ve called nonsense on all of the leftist lies about January 6. And so the people of Missouri recognize that we\u2019re the America first candidate.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Boyle asked Greitens why he came out against Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s really simple, Matt. the American people, all of your loyal listeners, need to have leaders who are willing to fight for them. And what we\u2019ve seen time and time and time again is the Republican establishment and the RINOs, they turn. They turn on President Trump. They turn against the American people. We saw all of that on January 6, we saw with the election integrity fights. We even saw it with things like Joe Biden\u2019s absurd infrastructure plan.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I was the first person in the country who said that when I&#8217;m in the Senate, I&#8217;m voting for new leadership.<\/p>\n<p>No More RINOs.

We did all of that. And a lot of times Matt, [our] biggest battles were not with the Dems,\u201d he said. \u201cThe biggest fights we had were with the RINOs in the Republican establishment who wanted to keep playing games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Boyle then brought a recent Quinnipiac poll that shows Biden\u2019s approval rating is at 33 percent amid failures with Afghanistan, rising inflation, and an influx in migrant crossings at the border. Greitens called it a \u201chistorical moment\u201d where we have \u201cabsolute weakness abroad\u201d and massive domestic troubles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe world sees what you see and all of your listeners see, which is Joe Biden\u2019s weakness,\u201d Greitens said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>The former governor discussed the atrocities he saw while on a recent visit to the U.S.-Mexico border.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>We saw hundreds of people crossing. I picked up IDs on the Mexican side of the border, Matt, from Egypt, from the United Arab Emirates. People are coming from all over the world. It is a completely open border. And we have to recognize the nature of the enemy that we\u2019re facing. This is not just Joe Biden\u2019s dementia. This is not just confusion. This is the left actively trying to destroy our country. The assault on fundamental liberties, the assault on freedom of speech, the assault on freedom of worship, the assault on the Second Amendment. This is a tyrannical movement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Greitens mentioned standing up and fighting to make the Republican Party a \u201ctrue America first party\u201d as a solution to the left\u2019s assault on our country.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>We have to get involved at the local school board elections. We\u2019ve got to man all of the ballots, all of the jobs at every election just like folks did in Virginia so they can\u2019t steal another election. We can take our republic back, but everyone is going to have to step forward and act with courage.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Boyle and Greitens next talked about the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling against Biden\u2019s OSHA vaccine mandate. Greitens mentioned how the vaccine mandates destroy our armed forces and, in turn, strengthen our allies.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>And you have hundreds of Navy SEALs who\u2019ve stood up and said, I\u2019m not going to take the virus. And what has the Biden administration done? They\u2019ve threatened those guys to pull their Trident, that\u2019s the symbol that we wear that shows that we\u2019re a Navy Seal. They\u2019re gonna pull their Trident, which means you\u2019d have hundreds of guys yanked out of one of the nation\u2019s elite special operations forces. Who does that benefit? It benefits China. It benefits Russia and benefits the Taliban. It benefits our enemies. It certainly does not make us stronger. It\u2019s just another example of how we have got to stand up and fight against the Biden administration. No vaccine mandates, no mask mandates. We\u2019ve got to fight at every level.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Greitens then highlighted the steps he would take to stand out in the Senate and separate him from the other Senators in the chamber, which involved calling Biden out for spending money in ways unauthorized by Congress.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Well, first of all, we always have to remember that every time the Biden administration spends one penny of your listeners taxpayer dollars, that money has to be authorized by the United States Congress. Okay. So what we need to have are senators and representatives who are willing to stand up and say for example, you will not spend one penny on vaccine mandates you will not spend one penny one penny on mask mandates, you will not spend one penny on critical race theory.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Greitens also mentioned the need for senators who stand up against \u201cwoke admirals and generals.\u201d \u201cWe need war fighters, not wokists,\u201d he said. He also called out the \u201cterrible fake committee with Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger\u201d investigating the January 6 Capitol riots.<\/p>\n<p>Boyle then switched the topic to the Chinese Communist Party, who he called \u201cthe greatest threat to Western civilization.\u201d Greitens called out one of his Republican opponents in the Senate race for taking money from the CCP then allowing Chinese companies to purchase Missouri farmland.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to counter that kind of infiltration we need to make sure that we\u2019re protecting America\u2019s intellectual property from theft, we need to counter the moves that China\u2019s making in the South China Sea,\u201d Greitens urged. However, he noted that these things would not happen under Biden\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n<p>To conclude, Grietens touted former President Donald Trump\u2019s foreign policy achievements and said, \u201cwe have got to take the presidency back in 2024.<\/p>\n<p><em>Breitbart News Saturday airs on SiriusXM Patriot 125 from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Eastern.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eric Greitens, Former Missouri Governor, Navy SEAL, and current U.S. Senate candidate, warned Breitbart News Saturday listeners that \u201cthe left is actively trying to destroy our country\u201d through attacks on &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1218438","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218438","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1218438"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1218438\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1218438"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1218438"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1218438"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
