The value of the “outside viewpoint” is key to governing, but “insiders” are controlling what Americans see, former ambassador and acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell told Newsmax TV Saturday, after giving a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) where he called for term limits for Congress and broadly hinted at challenging California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
“I think that as outsiders, whether we go into Washington, D C., Brussels the capital of Europe, or Sacramento, the value of the outside viewpoint is really key,” Grenell told Newsmax TV’s John Bachman. “I think that what we have right now is a political system that all of the insiders are controlling the information, controlling what we hear what we see, and I think we’ve got to somehow break that system. We need better representation.”
Grenell drew applause in his early morning CPAC speech when he said there is “real value in seriously considering term limits” for the United States’ elected officials because many in Congress have become more ingrained in Washington than in the fabric of their own hometowns.”
He also noted that there is always the option to recall politicians, such as the effort underway to recall Newsom, adding that in his “3 decades in American politics, I have never seen a better case for recall than there is in California.
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
