I run the largest pro 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,960 Speaker 1: American student organization in the country, fighting for the future 3 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: of our republic. My call is to fight evil and 4 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you 5 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But 6 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to 8 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: stop sending your kids to college. You should get married 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: Go start at turning point, you would say, college chapter. 11 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 1: Go start attning point, you say, high school chapter. Go 12 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: find out how your church can get involved. Sign up 13 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: and become an activist. I gave my life to the 14 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: Lord in fifth grade, most important decision I ever made 15 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: in my life, and I encourage you to do the same. 16 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: Here I am Lord, use me. Buckle up, everybody, Here 17 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by 18 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver experts and the only 19 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: precious metals company. I recommend to my family, friends and viewers. 20 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: Thank you everybody, and thank you doctor arn It's very kind. 21 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 1: I think I'm I might be the first speaker at 22 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: a national leadership seminar not to go to college? Is 23 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: that right? Maybe maybe we or not. But I'm on 24 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: pace to complete every single Hillsdale Online course, so I 25 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 1: think I'm making up for it. And I visit college 26 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: campuses so you don't have to. And I could tell 27 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: you that if every kid who's currently in college took 28 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: the Hillsdale online courses instead of going to that four 29 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: year college, America would be in a much better place, 30 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: much better place. We might have some ideas now for 31 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: this new administration. I just want to brag on Hillsdale. 32 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: So I wrote a book called The College Scam, and 33 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: I sent a copy to doctor arn I speak extensively 34 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: about how great Hillsdale is and how it's the exception 35 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: of what I talk about in the book. And I 36 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: can tell you from firsthand experience, having visited and spoken 37 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: at and intimately involved with organizing students on over what 38 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 1: we're on over one thousand campus I have visited well 39 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: over one hundred and seventy five of them personally, that 40 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: there is no place like Hillsdale College. The students are different. 41 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,839 Speaker 1: They're focused on the right things, they are looking up, 42 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: they're asking questions that are deeper in nature, they could 43 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: tell you why they're there. So I'm visiting. We have 44 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: our campus tour that's restarting on Thursday. Really, I'm excited 45 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: to kind of go back out there. And when I 46 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: ask these students, I say why are you here, They'll 47 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: immediately give you an answer that is industrial in nature. 48 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: I'm here to be able to get prepared to get 49 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: a job. I say, okay, I asked a Hillsdale College student, 50 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: why are you here? They say, well, I'm here to 51 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,119 Speaker 1: learn out learn how to be a good citizen. I'm 52 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: here to learn what it means to be a good person, 53 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: to grow in character and faith and duty. And I 54 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: ask an average college student at Arizona State University, Harvard 55 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: or the West down the street here, and let's just 56 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 1: be honest. It pales in comparison to Hillsdale for many reasons. 57 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: Let's just be honest. And I asked them, I said, 58 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: what are you reading? And they could maybe recite one 59 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: or two books. At Hillsdale College, they know the texts intimately. 60 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: And it's not a mistake because it all starts from 61 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: doctor Larry arn Hillsdale was a good college when doctor 62 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: Arne took over. Now it is the best college in 63 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: America after what doctor Arne has done over the last 64 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: couple of decades, and it has turned into a cultural 65 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: powerhouse because, as you well know Hillsdale, there's a waiting 66 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: line to get in. The standards keep on getting higher 67 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: and harder to get in. But the millions of people 68 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: like myself that are taking these online courses is dramatically 69 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: improving our chances of restoring a free society. The Constitution 70 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: one on one course that alone should be taught mandatorily 71 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: to every police officer, firefighter, marine, person in the military 72 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: that has to take an oath for the Constitution. They 73 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: should learn what they're taking an oath towards. And no 74 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: better course does that than the Hillsdale Constitution one on 75 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: one course. And the impact is beyond just what is 76 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: happening in Michigan. It is digital, it is online, and 77 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: I think it's even deeper than some of you guys 78 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: that are on the board even recognize or realize, because 79 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: it's not just how many people are taking these courses. 80 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: It's the state legislature, it's the senators, it's the congress people. 81 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna I'm gonna build out that argument in 82 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: a second, because the philosophical basis of this new administration 83 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: is largely an outgrowth from the hard work that Hillsdale 84 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: has been doing over the last couple decades. So it's 85 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: impact in my life. I have a as doctor arn said, 86 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: I've completed over thirty of them. My goal is to 87 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: take all of them. Yes, even the Euclidean Geometry one. 88 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: And I haven't done the Jane Austen novels one. Sorry, 89 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: have done the Churchill one. It's good, okay, thanks. The 90 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: new Totalitary novels is terrific. By the way, I highly 91 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: recommend for any of you that have kids or grandkids 92 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: to tell them that if they want special privileges to 93 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: go on a trip, orf they want, you know, phone 94 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: time or video games, tell them, Okay, you have to 95 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: take a Hillsdale Online course. I'm telling what we're doing 96 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 1: at Turning Point USA, because they have all these ridiculous 97 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: federal holidays off. We're totally restructuring a June teenth. We're 98 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: not giving a those days off. I'll say, however, we 99 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: will give you Constitution day off if you take the 100 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: Hillsdale Online course on Constitution one to one, so that 101 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: is now practice at Turning Point USA. But I'll tell 102 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: you this that as you take these courses, you realize 103 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: how little our own elected leaders know about the own 104 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: the country that they're supposed to be protecting and they're defending. 105 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 1: How little the people that go on TV and start 106 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: yamming about you know, we're all about freedom and liberty, 107 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: and they can't tell you anything about the structure or 108 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: the form of US Constitution what we're fighting for. And 109 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: I think we're finding our way back as a country. 110 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: I think that we are finding our way back to 111 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: foundational roots. And part of that, by the way, is 112 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: being driven by one of the most unusual forces, which 113 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 1: is that this is a bottom up, youth led political 114 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: movement that if you look at every single demographic in 115 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four election, the one that moved most 116 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 1: dramatically and surprisingly were voters under the age of thirty. 117 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: These are people that traditionally would be card carrying members 118 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: of the American left. Now, Donald Trump did not win 119 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: the youth vote in every single state, And I will 120 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: tell you one state, and he won the youth vote, 121 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: And I give Doctor on all the credit. He did 122 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: win the youth vote in Michigan. It's true, It's one 123 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: hundred percent real. Donald Trump won the youth vote in Michigan. 124 00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 1: But all kidding aside, this movement of young people is 125 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: largely driven by them being raised in the excesses of 126 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: what we call woke is the kind of political correctness, 127 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: of totalitari impulses of political correctness, and a resurgeon some 128 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: of what the work we've done at turning point, but 129 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: talking to the next generation about what kind of country 130 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: do you actually want to live in? Do you want 131 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: to be able to own a home, get married, and 132 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: have kids, or do you want to just stare at 133 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: a screen all day long and be an indentured Russian 134 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,239 Speaker 1: surf and never own anything for the rest of your life. 135 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: And President Trump, to his great credit, ran an asymmetrical 136 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: political operation that defied every single Norman custom of the 137 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: political consultant elite over the last thirty years. He did 138 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: podcasting instead of sixty minute interviews. He went and did 139 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: TikTok videos instead of New York Times editorial sit down meeting. 140 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: He said, no one reads the New York Times, but 141 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: people do watch TikTok videos. And an amazing way President 142 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: Donald Trump performed the best that a Republican president has 143 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: performed with younger voters in over fifty years. Fifty years. 144 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: And this is a bottom up resurgence where now of 145 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: every demographic they say do approve or disapprove of Donald Trump? 146 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: Baby boomers, no offense, they're not really crazy about what's 147 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 1: happening in DC. Do you know who is the most 148 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: supportive of what's happening right now Washington, DC voters under 149 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: thirty And I'll tell you it makes perfect sense. By 150 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: the way, it's because they think the entire system top 151 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: to bottom, is wretched to the core and is a 152 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: tumor that must be removed. And we must start from 153 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: the beginning because it's not working for them, because they 154 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: can't afford homes, and they're seeing themselves involved the most suicidal, depressed, anxious, 155 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: and alcohol addicted generation history, and they want the same 156 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: American dream that their parents and grandparents had. And so 157 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: we saw this in this last election. I personally was 158 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: able to witness it. Our videos to billions of views. 159 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: We registered tens of thousands of voters here in Arizona, 160 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: where we had over one thousand full time people on 161 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: the ground. We chased well over two hundred thousand ballots 162 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: for Sident Donald Trump, and I just have to brag 163 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: Arizona best performing swing state one by five and a 164 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: half points. So thank you for all the Arizona faithful 165 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: that works so hard. Pretty awesome. But all of that 166 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: has now led to the ultimate question, which, of course 167 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: we all see what President Trump has done in just 168 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. President Trump is doing so 169 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: much the Democrats can't remember why they're mad at him. Wait, 170 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: I'm man, why I don't know? He's getting rid of 171 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: this thing and signing this thing full court offense, shock 172 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: and awe. It is time for us to overwhelm the left. 173 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: You see, President Trump had a decision to make. He 174 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: could do the kind of typical second term thing and 175 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: wait for his legislative priorities and sign a couple proclamations 176 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: to rename some post offices. President Donald Trump is going 177 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: after one of the most ambitious reclamations of a republic 178 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: in the history of the species. We've never seen anything 179 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: like it. Now, of course, we know the Executive Order 180 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: is saying there'll be no more DEI, and Federal Agent 181 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: sees no more DEI in our military. We know that 182 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: he's doing drill, baby drill. We know that he's closing 183 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: the southern border. And by the way, did you see 184 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 1: the recent numbers in just the last couple of days, 185 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: So it's worth repeating if you haven't. In the last 186 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 1: couple of days of Joe Biden being president, eleven thousand 187 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: people were crossing a day into our country. Last like yesterday, 188 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty two people. That's too many. SAVA planning, 189 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: too many. We got to go to zero. But yes, 190 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: that's a ninety eight percent decrease, which, by the way, 191 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: goes to show that open borders is a choice. You 192 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: didn't need a Senate bipartisan bill, you didn't need some 193 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: sort of committee. Joe Biden wanted the borders to be open, 194 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: and he wanted us to have this flow of people 195 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: from another country. President Donald Trump made a decision. I no, actually, 196 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: nation is defined by its borders. We're going to have sovereignty, 197 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: and if you want to come to this country, come 198 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 1: the right way. But we're not going to allow you 199 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: just waltz across the Rio Grand Valley and get the 200 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: same benefits as someone who's the US passport holder. We're 201 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: not going to put up with that anymore, and that 202 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: is a moral argument at its core. Now we know 203 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: about we know about Bobby Kennedy who's now HHS Secretary, 204 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: Cash Patel, who's about to be FBI Director, Tulci Gabbard. 205 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: My favorite executive order, by the way, is President Trump 206 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: putting an end to the gender transitions called chemical castration 207 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: for our kids, preventing the medical butchery that has been happening. 208 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 1: All the incredible pardons of pro life warriors, the recommission 209 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: of the seventeen seventy six commission that doctor arn chaired 210 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: last time, we're ending the wars, and how amazing is 211 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 1: his team from Marco Rubio today in Saudi Arabia, jd 212 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: Vance in Munich, that was a ten out of ten speech. 213 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: We got Scott Bessen in Ukraine. We got Pete Hegseth 214 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: doing pt with the Marines at five am, where we 215 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: had that slob Mark Millie who couldn't even walk up 216 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,199 Speaker 1: a flight of stairs, or Lloyd Austin that would get 217 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: out of breath just for standing out of his chair. 218 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: We got Pete Heggseth who's literally running miles with Marines 219 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: and Navy seals where the sun gets up in Poland, 220 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: a new administration is here, and all of this is 221 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: worthy of celebration, but it does not get down to 222 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: the core of the matter. It does not get down 223 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: to what is the big and the looming fight. And 224 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: I'm only able to articulate this because of Hillsdale College, 225 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: because most people on TV are missing what's really going 226 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: on here. They're missing what is going to be the 227 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: republic determining element of this entire thing. And it comes 228 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: down to three major questions, big questions that are being 229 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 1: debated in the media, but they're not getting down to 230 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 1: the meat of the matter. The first of which is 231 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: so simple. And you can ask my daughter who's two 232 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: and a half years old, and she knows the answer 233 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: to this question. How many branches of government are there? 234 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: Pretty simple? We all know three? Yes, thank you, that's right, 235 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: good answer. And yes, there's seven articles of the Constitution, 236 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: and yes we can go throw that. Yes there's three 237 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: branches of government. Oh easy answer? Is it really that easy? 238 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: Are there three branches of the government? Doctor Arnt has 239 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: been saying for as long longer than I have been alive, 240 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: and has been trying to get the American public to 241 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 1: realize and recognize that there has been an invisible, unelected, 242 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: unknown branch of government that has been operating unconstitutionally post 243 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 1: Woodrow Wilson, and no one has had the moral clarity, 244 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: the mandate or the gusto to even mention it, let 245 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 1: alone challenge it, let alone deconstruct it. And we can 246 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: call that the administrative state. We can call that the 247 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 1: shadow government, the deep state. All of those are correct answers, 248 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: by the way, But understand the profundity of President Donald 249 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: Trump saying, Okay, JFK started usaid by an executive order, 250 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: I can end usaid by an executive order. You serve 251 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: at the pleasure of the president. And then they say, well, no, 252 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: you can't do that. Hold on which branch of the 253 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: three does that fall under? It falls under Article two, 254 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: which goes into one of the other more fundamental questions. 255 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: You see, what's been grown like a cancer over the 256 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: last hundred years is this fourth branch of government. And 257 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: you can see this in some of the reporting on 258 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice and the FBI in particular. Anytime 259 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: you hear this, you should press pause and tell your 260 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: friend nope, nope, and you should cancel this out of 261 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: your thought. When they say, oh, that's an independent agency. 262 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: No it's not. Actually, there's no such thing as an 263 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: independent agency answers to the pleasure of the president. Period. 264 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: End up story. The FBI is not independent. Now, the 265 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: president could be as provocative, he'd get in peached to 266 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: be does this, but he would be perfectly constitutional if 267 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: he asked the FBI director to look at every pending 268 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: case the FBI is looking into, perfectly constitutional. If you 269 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: looked at everything the DJ is doing, it's perfectly constitutional. 270 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: The DJ does not operate on a special island. I 271 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: must have missed that in the Hillsdale Online course Federalist 272 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: Paper's course where Alexander Hamilton was going on time about well, 273 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 1: the Attorney General is kind of its own president, and 274 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: the FBI kind of does its own thing. And guess what. 275 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: President Trump does not know this. He knows this philosophically, 276 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: but he knows it personally because that fourth the branch 277 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: of government destroyed his first term, was the reason he 278 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: did not get reelected in twenty twenty and is the 279 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: reason why he faced seven hundred years in federal prison. 280 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump is counterattacking the fourth branch of government 281 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: that tried to stop him over the last decade. This 282 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: is the fourth branch that waged war on the sovereign. 283 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: We're honored to be partnering with Alan Jackson Ministries and 284 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 2: today I want to point you to their podcast.

So the next the big question, that's 304 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: a big question. How many branches governed article? That's fine. 305 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: The next big question though, is well, who is the 306 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: sovereign exactly? Who's in charge of this place? Do you 307 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: notice that when we fire a federal worker, it's like 308 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: we're going to fire like the archbishop of Phoenix or 309 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: something like. It's like unbelievable, Like they're totally on touch, 310 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 1: Like you can't do that. Why who made them that 311 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: they they are in some sort of holy realm that 312 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: we can't ask the question, well, what do you do here? 313 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: Why do you exist? What is your job? You can't 314 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: say that. No, Instead, we have to act as if 315 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: they're the untouchables literally, and if you listen to the 316 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: media coverage carefully, it's like we work for them, when no, 317 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: it's not the only way they work for us. Because 318 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: our document starts morally clear, we the people of the 319 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: United States, not the we the usaid. You know, purple 320 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 1: hair g hotties that are sending money to Kazakhstan to 321 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: trans the kids, right that's not how it works actually, 322 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 1: and they sound like such fundamental, basic questions, But we're 323 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: about to get down to the root of the matter. 324 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: You know why, because our leaders have prolonged the inevitable 325 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 1: for decades. George W. Bush did not have the moral 326 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: clarity or the gusto to pick this fight. In fact, 327 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: he grew the leviathan and grew the administrative state. We 328 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: have new agencies because of Republican presidents. So this has 329 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: been a fight that has been delayed for far too long. 330 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: And this is where it is all heading. And so 331 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: when it comes down to who is the sovereign, it 332 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: comes down to, well, we the American people, elected a 333 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: president to be able to do the job. And it 334 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: still baffles the mind where I hear in some of 335 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: these meetings when I'm in DC, Well, you can't fire 336 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: these federal workers. You could put them an administrative leave. 337 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 1: And how many of you guys in your corporate career 338 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: or you run a business, what could ever operate that way? Nothing? 339 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: And yet we put the federal government in a completely 340 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: different bucket for no good constitutional reason. And then that 341 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: goes to the final question, and really the big question 342 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: that ties to the other two, which is is the 343 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: president in charge of the executive branch. And this is 344 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: known as the vesting clause of Article two of the 345 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: US Constitution, which is all authority is invested in a 346 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 1: in a president. That's it pretty simple, one sentence a 347 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: lot there, and so yes, the president has the authority 348 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: to say usad you don't go or anymore. He has 349 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: the authority just send Elon Muskog a tomahawk missile into 350 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 1: every single federal agency. By the way, how entertaining is this. 351 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: It's like one of the greatest things ever. I want 352 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: you to understand. What's going on here is that you 353 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 1: have Elon, who I just have grown to just adore. 354 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: He's become a friend. I think that when the history 355 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: books are written, he's going to go down as one 356 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: of the most interesting, consequential business titan political figures ever 357 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: to exist. So here's a guy that has more money 358 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: than you could ever imagine. He could buy Spain. Literally, 359 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 1: you look it up. He could buy Spain. Okay, not 360 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: a joke, Like I think the GDP of Spain. It's 361 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: like one hundred and fifty billion dollars. You could just 362 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: you know, buy it. And that's like a portion of 363 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: his wealth, and he's literally sleeping on the floor of 364 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: the Eisenhower Executive Office building. And it's not just him. 365 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: Here's the best part. He has this platoon of the 366 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: super geniuses. And I mean like super geniuses. I mean 367 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: these guys look make mensa look like, you know, they 368 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: don't know what they're talking about. And he'll walk into 369 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: these federal agencies and he'll be like, where are the passwords? 370 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: How do you send an email? How do you do 371 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,120 Speaker 1: the accounting? Has eye ever looked at the books? Here? 372 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: Just one example, he did the Social Security kind of 373 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: peripheral audit that there's like one hundred forty year old 374 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: still getting Social Security checks. I can just see the 375 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: New York Times art you know, headline Elon Musk, so 376 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: cruel cuts off payments to one hundred forty year olds. 377 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: You know, just see the headline right now. How dare he? Now, 378 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: if any of you guys are one hundred and forty, 379 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 1: I want to meet you and you can come on 380 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: my show for the record. So, by the way, if 381 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: you think our social security roles are messed up, how 382 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 1: bad do you think our voter rolls are? Just makes 383 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: you think so? But Elon Musk is getting down to 384 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: the heart of the matter. Why it's so simple. Elon 385 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: Musk sees the world very clearly because Elon Musk has 386 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: actually built things, and so for him it does not compute. 387 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: It's like a failure to launch in his mind. Where 388 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: if at Tesla, if he wants to get rid of 389 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 1: ten thousand people, he can get rid of ten thousand 390 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: people at SpaceX. If he wants to get rid of 391 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: that employee, and get rid of that employee in DC, 392 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: you get rid of bad employees by putting them in 393 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: charge of the CDC and running off your public health guidelines. 394 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: You fail upwards, that's what you do. You actually ascend 395 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 1: by failure. It's a gravitational pull in the wrong direction. 396 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: And so it is a cultural sea change top to 397 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: bottom that we are experiencing. And they're gonna fight with 398 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: everything they possibly can. If you think they fought hard 399 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: to prevent President Trump from re obtaining office, this is 400 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: way worse than they actually thought this was going to go. 401 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: They thought it would be like mass deportations. Notice that, 402 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: like no one's talking about that anymore. Yeah, sure, take 403 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: them go away, good. But this dose thing, it's like 404 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: all the controversial stuff that we thought was gonna be 405 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: big fights kind of gets go on on the on 406 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: the you know extras. By the way, is a brilliant 407 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: strategy by President Trump. Might I add because everyone's talking 408 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: more about Elon than President Trump, and President Trump's is 409 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: able to kind of not be attacked for the first 410 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,919 Speaker 1: time in a decade. It's pretty smart, right, And Elon 411 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: I think feeds off of it. It's like a life 412 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: force thing to him. The whole whole thing is just phenomenal. 413 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: And so, but the reason they're fighting so hard on 414 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: Doge and on what we are experiencing is we actually 415 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: have a chance to do the thing that people thought 416 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: that could never get done, which is we actually have 417 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 1: a chance to reorient the ship back to the founder's 418 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: intent to restore the three branches of government, to articulate 419 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: what Article two actually is. And I think we have 420 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: a shot at doing it. Article one is the hardest 421 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: because Congress is a disaster. But I think the Supreme 422 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: Court is actually willing to hear this out for the 423 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: first time in a generation. I think the Supreme Court 424 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: is now willing to hear are the arguments. What do 425 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: you mean you're an independent agency. No, you're on an 426 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: inpendent agency. You serve under Article two. And we've seen 427 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: with some decisions, the Chevron Deference decision, the EPA decision, 428 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: the courts are signaling that they're ready for these monumental 429 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 1: type cases. And what that means everybody, is that the 430 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 1: administrative state leviathan this regime that has been swallowing our 431 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: freedom and liberty post Woodrow Wilson, for the first time, 432 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: we can reverse it. We can go back to where 433 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: we came from. But it's not just gonna happen because 434 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 1: of one election. It will only happen with a free 435 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,959 Speaker 1: citizen re demanding it out of your leaders, with vocal 436 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: support on a daily basis, educating the masses of what's 437 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: really going on. And I believe we have a shot 438 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: at doing it because we're able to communicate to millions 439 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 1: of people in a moment's notice without having to go 440 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: through the Washington Post. I'm able to open my phone 441 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 1: right now, I could tweet to millions of people or 442 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,439 Speaker 1: post something on Instagram or Facebook about any of the 443 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: guardians of the censors. Elon Musk is able to do 444 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 1: these X spaces at midnight where he's just rambling for 445 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: a couple hours. But all the thing's like going through 446 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 1: documents talking about all the waste that he found, and 447 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: literally like five million people are listening to these things. 448 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 1: That's more than the CNN airport audiences for a decade, 449 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: and he just goes through this. So because now we 450 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 1: can go direct to consumer, but let me clarify that 451 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: we can go direct to citizen. And that's the true 452 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: revolution that's occurring, is that we are taking the bold 453 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: and courageous move that is going to put a lot 454 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: of people's lives and fortunes and sacred honors at risk 455 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:47,120 Speaker 1: to say subject no more citizen because we have lived 456 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,399 Speaker 1: as subjects for the last couple of years, whether we 457 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: realize that or not, we have not been citizens, which 458 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: is co rulers or co authorities of our own nation. 459 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: And that's where the Trump thing gets way bigger than 460 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: t And honestly, God bless this guy for being the 461 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: man in the arena that Teddy Roosevelt has a we 462 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: talked about having the courage and the stamina. God bless 463 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: him for not taking the deal where they said, you know, 464 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: don't run for president and just being king maker and 465 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: doubling down getting shot, his whole business, empire nearly taken 466 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: from him, and now getting into what is the most 467 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: high stakes fight constitutionally, morally and civilizationally. And you guys 468 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 1: know this, Europe is not going to save a free society. 469 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: Europe has gone. It's a husk of its former self. 470 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: We got the Chinese Communist Party rising up. If it's 471 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: not us, it's nobody. As doctor Arnet said, it is 472 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 1: the last best hope and it's only us if we 473 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: can actually win the domestic war first, if we can 474 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 1: restrain this beast that has been slowly taking over every 475 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: one of our ways of life over the last couple 476 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,959 Speaker 1: decades and especially the last one hundred years, and then 477 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,479 Speaker 1: I want to talk about one other thing about this, 478 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 1: and then we could do I think they said questions 479 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 1: at some point. I don't know. The format is this, 480 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: which is that I'm a big believer in God's providence 481 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: over our nation. I believe that God had his hand 482 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: on Donald Trump, and I believe that God is a 483 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: hand in this country. I really believe that. And I 484 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,199 Speaker 1: believe that, as the founders did, that there is a 485 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: providential element to all of this. And I remember after 486 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was displaced from office in the twenty twenty election. 487 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: We were all is the country over and we believed 488 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 1: through faith, as it says in Romans eight twenty eight, 489 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: that God will use all things for good for those 490 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: who love him, that maybe there is a plan here 491 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 1: that we don't understand. And I know a lot of 492 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: you know this, and few people say it publicly, But 493 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 1: I think it's worthy of a teaching to our kids, 494 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: especially because we thought it was the worst thing. But 495 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: now we look back with say, honestly, exile might have 496 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: been really good for us. Those four years off might 497 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: have actually been grace, not judgment. Like those four years 498 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: where we weren't in control of everything actually made a 499 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: wronger and tougher, made us have more resolve, made us 500 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,239 Speaker 1: find out what we're really made out of. Made us 501 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: shrink our ranks away from the people that were summer soldiers, 502 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 1: that were Sunshine patriots. Go We told those people, go away, 503 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 1: we'll call you back when everything's fixed. I think President 504 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: Trump in exile, when he faced the entire power of 505 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: the federal government, became a stronger person, and not just him, 506 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: but his senior staff that was around him, from Stephen 507 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,959 Speaker 1: Miller to Susie Wiles, this whole team. They were around 508 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: the table in Bedminster, New Jersey. I was not there, 509 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 1: but I know about it very, very intimately when President 510 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was joking and playing Phantom of the Opera 511 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: drinking diet coke, when all of a sudden his phone 512 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: rang and they said, you're indicted. And at that moment, 513 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it's never happened for in American history. And 514 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 1: then this avalanche of indictments came after that, and Jack 515 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: Smith launched, you know, the lunatic thing, and his staff 516 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: had a choice, do you jump ship or do you 517 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: lean in. I think that's a lesser appreciated element of 518 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: all this is the people that stood by him, his 519 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: enter team, Because people say, Charlie, how are they so 520 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: well prepared for all of this? Who is doing all 521 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: this work? Who's really in charge? Trump's in charge? Okay, 522 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 1: but he's empowered the people, his lieutenants that were around 523 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: him when he got that phone call on Benminster, New Jersey. 524 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: He's empowered the people that were around him when his 525 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: arraignment was read to him, and he said, if we 526 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: ever get power back, you know what to do. You're 527 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: gonna listen to the voters, and we're going to go 528 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: ten out of ten velocity. Right out of the gate. 529 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: What you are seeing is the pent up of an 530 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: entire community of people, about a couple dozen people that 531 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: saw their boss get shot, that saw the president, and 532 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: our entire country, in my personal opinion, literally come millimeters 533 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: away from the country disintegrating into chaos, oblivion, and disorder. 534 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 1: What I hate to say, civil war, but I think 535 00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 1: we all know that it might have gone to that. 536 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: And it makes us really consider as the history books 537 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: are written, that, boy, the Democrats should have let us 538 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: win in twenty twenty, that them doing what they did 539 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty election zuckerboxes mail in ballots might 540 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: go down as one of the dumbest things the Democrat 541 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: Party has ever done, because what they have to reap 542 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: write now is a completely different conservative movement. It is 543 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: completely different. It is three point zero. It is one 544 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: that plays to win. It is one that is well staffed. 545 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: It is one that understands the odds and the stakes. 546 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: And we saw what we were up against. We saw 547 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: it intimately, and we looked over the abyss we said, 548 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: no thanks, We're going to go back to restore this 549 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: beautiful country that we love, and that's where all of 550 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: this comes together. And I believe you guys have an 551 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: obligation to continue to support Hillsdale College to fight for 552 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 1: a free society, because that's really where this is all 553 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: going to be connected. My role these next couple of years, 554 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: I'm not going in government role in the government. I'm 555 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: an advisor. I'm a friend, I'm a fighter, I'm a warrior. 556 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to keep on doing the grassroots move with 557 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: young people. Most importantly, I'm gonna keep on trying to 558 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: keep people informed what's happening here so this thrust, this 559 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 1: moment does not get lost, because this is a once 560 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: in many lifetimes opportunity, a moment to reclaim what has 561 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: been given to us that we did not earn, that 562 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: we do not deserve, to get us back on the 563 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: path of the divine providence that the founders talked about 564 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: in our birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence, and it's 565 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 1: only possible, in my opinion, thanks to Hillsdale College and 566 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: all the work that you guys do here. 567 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 2: We're honored to be partnering with Alan Jackson Ministries and 568 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 2: today I want to point you to their podcast.

We now have time 590 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 3: for Q and A.

I'm a professor at ASU. 594 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 4: What you mentioned is the Harvard the West. 595 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 596 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 4: I like to add the idea that these state universities 597 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 4: are also part of that bureaucratic state. And I'd like 598 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 4: to ask for your help with ASU. You've already done 599 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 4: a great job by coming out to under our students. 600 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 4: I think you change the election, but there's. 601 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: A lot more work to do. Yes, yes, there is. 602 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: And let's just kind of go in some of the 603 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 1: details what President Trump's going to try to do from 604 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 1: the top down. Number one, eliminate the Department of Education 605 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: and get completely rid of it. And it never should 606 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: have existed. It should not exist right now. The second 607 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 1: of which is you have to stop the flow of money. 608 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: This is where enforcement's going to come in. Right now, 609 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,080 Speaker 1: I bet ASU is already in violation of the president 610 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 1: of President Trump's executive order. Would you agree with that 611 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 1: one hundred percent? So now it's going to come down 612 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: to an enforcement question. Where President Trump signed an executive 613 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: order saying no tax payer money is going to go 614 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: to any school that teaches critical race theory, DEI transgender ideology, 615 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: which obviously ASU does right. They have entire departments dedicated 616 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: to this. And so it's now going to come into 617 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 1: the enforcement of a couple test cases saying no, you're 618 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: not going to get federal money, pelgrant money, research money, 619 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: any subsidized student loans for them. That's only going to 620 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: solve it partially. And this is why a free citizenry 621 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: is so important. Is we need to ask the question 622 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: of these bloated state institutions. Their financial model is actually 623 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: completely corrupted if you take out subsidized student loans and 624 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: the over certification of what education has actually become. That's 625 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: why Hillsdale is so important, is that Hillsdale. Hillsdale refuses 626 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: to scale to you know, just be an as one 627 00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: hundred thousand kids on campus because then you lose what 628 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: college actually is, which means partnership. I can answer that 629 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: question now, doctor n for the record, means partnership because 630 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: you lose that community. And so, in my opinion, Phase 631 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: two and three needs to be an all out campaign 632 00:33:55,040 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: understanding that these colleges have become massive, bloated bureauck in 633 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: their own states. But also even more importantly, they're training 634 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:09,240 Speaker 1: factories for the administrative state. And two they are petri 635 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 1: dishes for all the worst ideas that then metastasize into 636 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 1: corporate America, law enforcement, military, so on and so forth. 637 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: And the other point I'll make is just you look. 638 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: You go to Hillsdale College. Do you notice how aesthetically 639 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: beautiful it is. It's a beautiful campus. Did you know 640 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: that In a lesser appreciated executive order, President Trump on 641 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: day one sign an executive order saying build beautiful buildings Again, 642 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: it was executive order for all federal bureaucracies. Now you 643 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: can laugh, but I encourage you next time you're in 644 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:46,720 Speaker 1: DC to drive by the Department of Education. It looks 645 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 1: how it operates. It looks like a like a drawer cabinet. 646 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 1: It looks like a file cabinet. I should say. It 647 00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: doesn't point up. There are no circles. It's simply squares. 648 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,919 Speaker 1: It looks like a place where widgets are made. Because 649 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 1: that's what they think education is. They thinks you're just 650 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 1: kind of a widget in a big system to serve 651 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,400 Speaker 1: the administrative machine. Nothing to be glorified, nothing to wonder, 652 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: nothing to pursue, no philosophy to contemplate. But no, they 653 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: look at themselves as carpenters, whereas doctor arn would say 654 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: educators and were like gardeners where you let the kid 655 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 1: grow into what they can become. Yes, next question, Hi, Charlie. 656 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 5: I have a sophomore at Hillsdale, and before I get 657 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 5: to my question, I just have to tell you that 658 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 5: we've been Turning Point supporters long before we were Hillsdale supporters. 659 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 5: About six or seven years ago, we saw you at 660 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 5: University of Washington. You were there with Anna, Paulina Luna 661 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 5: and Off Certatum. 662 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:57,719 Speaker 1: I remember that. 663 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, this was the part when I didn't shut 664 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:06,319 Speaker 5: you down, which I think they did recently. So I 665 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:14,040 Speaker 5: was I wanted to ask something about Trump's recent comments. 666 00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 5: I mean, I totally understand the Gulf of America and 667 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 5: where he's going with that. And he's an incredible negotiator. 668 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,880 Speaker 5: I mean, he's probably the most brilliant negotiator out there, 669 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 5: and I think a lot of things he does or 670 00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 5: says are negotiating tactics. But sometimes I get a little concern. 671 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: So it's only been six weeks I know, and so 672 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 1: I just. 673 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:42,879 Speaker 5: Thought when it comes to like Canada being the fifty first. 674 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,120 Speaker 1: Date, Oh no, he's definitely serious, Okay. 675 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:49,359 Speaker 5: Okay, and then I know you went to Greenland with 676 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:54,399 Speaker 5: Don Junior even more serious okay, and my yeah, I'll 677 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,360 Speaker 5: say my Danish relatives are not real happy about that. 678 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 5: And then this whole Gaza like take it. I'm just saying, 679 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 5: I trust him, but I'm getting some. 680 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: Imperialistic You're super sweet, thank you. So no, no, I 681 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,799 Speaker 1: mean that that's great. I hear that. I'm not going 682 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: to speak on behalf of the administration Canada. You know, 683 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 1: we will let that one be Gaza. I'm going to 684 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,879 Speaker 1: show my friend Josh Hammer, Josh, you're speaking to more 685 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,759 Speaker 1: about all this right Israel and all that. So I 686 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: will yield to the expert. Josh will handle that extensively. 687 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: Greenland I will defend, actually, because I think Greenland makes 688 00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: a lot of sense for a lot of different reasons. 689 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: It has incredible raw rare earth, natural mineral deposits, It's 690 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: geopolitically really situated. China wants it, Russia wants it, and 691 00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: also we've been trying to get Greenland for well over 692 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,960 Speaker 1: one hundred years actually one hundred and fifty years, and 693 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: I could tell you having has it visited Greenland with 694 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 1: Don Junior. It's one of the most beautiful places I've 695 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: ever been in more ways than one. I will just 696 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: kind of caution any if you like you're realistic. Let 697 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,840 Speaker 1: me say this is that President Trump is a deal maker. 698 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:07,960 Speaker 1: He's a negotiator, and you ask for the moon, and 699 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:15,280 Speaker 1: if you get Greenland in return, maybe the next National 700 00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:20,480 Speaker 1: Leadership Seminar can be in Nook, but go in July, 701 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: don't go in January. 702 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:27,839 Speaker 3: So yes, ma'am, Hi, I'm another supporter from the thank 703 00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 3: you Clay state of Washington. So what do you think 704 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 3: the chances are that Trump will revoke the other earthshaking 705 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 3: executive order from JFK, the one that allowed government employees 706 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:45,240 Speaker 3: to unionize. 707 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: That is so I actually don't have insight into that. 708 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,880 Speaker 1: But let me first give Trump credit for revoking a 709 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 1: separate executive order that I did not mention, which was 710 00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 1: their boat in and untouchable. My friend Jeremy Carl, who's 711 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,840 Speaker 1: written the best book on anti white racism. You're talking tomorrow, right, Jeremy, 712 00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: He's amazing, Which is that President Trump reversed the executive 713 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 1: order requiring affirmative action for hiring practices in the federal government. 714 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,480 Speaker 1: That one deserves incredible credit. That took so much courage 715 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 1: to do, and no one's talking about it because he's 716 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 1: doing so much other stuff. Understand that the affirmative action 717 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 1: regime was never passed by Congress. It was done by 718 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 1: executive order saying that we're only going to hire in 719 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 1: federal hiring practices based on skin color, not merit because 720 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: of executive order. I can't speak on the unionization one. 721 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: I'd have to look more into that, but I wouldn't 722 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 1: be surprised if it's being contemplated. But if a president 723 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 1: does it, a president can undo it. As you can 724 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,320 Speaker 1: see by usaid that was done by executive order by JFK. 725 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,280 Speaker 1: Why can't you just fold it into the state department. 726 00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: So okay, I think we have time for one or 727 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 1: two more, Charlie. 728 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 6: I'm ready to run through a brick wall after this speech. Here, 729 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 6: so real quick. We're in Arizona, home to Intel, micro Chip, 730 00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 6: some of the big tech companies. What's your thought, if any, 731 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 6: on shorting manufacturing. What are some of the pain we're 732 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 6: going to have to go through to bring some of 733 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 6: this back. Any thoughts or ideas on that, Yeah. 734 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 1: It's a good question. I think that President Trump has 735 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,280 Speaker 1: alluded to this, and I think that the current economic 736 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 1: nonsense that has been handed to us by the previous 737 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,640 Speaker 1: let's just say, easy cheap money regime is that there 738 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,320 Speaker 1: might have to be a moment to take some cough 739 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 1: syrup metaphorically economically before we can get to some wellness. 740 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 1: I mean, our economist friend doesn't think a soft landing 741 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 1: as possible. That you guys debate that amongst yourselves. However, 742 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,840 Speaker 1: I will say this that President Trump using tarriffs is 743 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,760 Speaker 1: getting a very very bad rap in some financial circles 744 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 1: or markets. But it's a forcing function to redomicile labor 745 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 1: and industry back to this country. And in order to 746 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 1: actually have a country, you have to you have to 747 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 1: make things, not just be a series of hedge funds 748 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 1: in tech companies and import all your plastic from China. 749 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: And I'll give you just one example. We don't make 750 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 1: vitamin C in this country. We don't make our necessary 751 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 1: pharmaceuticals in this country anymore. You cease to be an independent, autonomous, 752 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,480 Speaker 1: sovereign country if you're dependent on a nation. Five thousand 753 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,400 Speaker 1: miles away to be able to get basic goods in necessity. 754 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: So how much pain there will be I don't know. However, 755 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: I will say there are a lot of major companies 756 00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:20,880 Speaker 1: that are talking about redomiciling the production of their assets 757 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,799 Speaker 1: or their goods into the interior the United States, which 758 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 1: is then how you circumnavigate or you circumvent the tariff 759 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:28,920 Speaker 1: is if you make it in the United States. So 760 00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 1: all right, last question, Yes, yes, ma'am. We now have 761 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:33,840 Speaker 1: time for one more question. 762 00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,719 Speaker 7: Hi, mister Kirk, thank you for your speech tonight. So 763 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:41,440 Speaker 7: I'm excited to hear about the youth, the thirty and under, 764 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 7: and I'm glad we're playing offense. What do you if 765 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,600 Speaker 7: you could speak about the old guard, the Mitch McConnell's, 766 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,360 Speaker 7: the Paul ryants. I feel like they've gone quiet, and 767 00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:55,839 Speaker 7: I'm a little worried about it. 768 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys are a paranoid group. Come on, it's 769 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,600 Speaker 1: like you're always looking for something. I like it. Look, 770 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 1: there's a new generation that's rising in DC, and if 771 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 1: that concerns you, I want to give you some comfort. 772 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 1: This next generation is the type of person that has 773 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 1: the character of a Hillsdale College type student. I want 774 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: you to look at the type person I'm talking about. 775 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,080 Speaker 1: You have a Press secretary that's twenty seven years old 776 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,359 Speaker 1: named Caroline Levitt who's taken on the press every single 777 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: day in an elegant and amazing way. You got Stephen Miller, 778 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,840 Speaker 1: who's in his young thirties running all the domestic policy 779 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: and running the entire immigration department of the entire federal government. 780 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 1: You have a next generation of people. Jade Vance is 781 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: the youngest Vice president since Eisenhower and one of the 782 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,040 Speaker 1: youngest vice presidents in American history. Jade Vance is I 783 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 1: think forty or forty one years old, and he just 784 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: turned forty, right, he just turned forty. And so this 785 00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 1: next generation of Conservatives is operating with urgency and is 786 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,319 Speaker 1: taking over DC for the better. The old guard is 787 00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: going to do everything they possibly can. I mean, Mitch 788 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 1: mcaf well, I'm not I'll let you guys fill in 789 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,240 Speaker 1: the blanks. I think it's very disappointing for this reason. 790 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 1: I have much stronger opinions on Mitch McConnell than what 791 00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 1: I'm about to say, but I'll give you one that 792 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:17,799 Speaker 1: is very agreeable. It's very disappointing that Mitch McConnell for 793 00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 1: years would go around and preach to all of his 794 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 1: Senate Republican colleagues, we must stick together, we must stick together. 795 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:29,520 Speaker 1: I need your vote. We must stick together. But now, 796 00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 1: in circumstances where we need him to keep the conference 797 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 1: to stick together, he's the odd man out. And I 798 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,240 Speaker 1: think that tells us a lot about Mitch McConnell. Okay, 799 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: in closing, everybody, Hillsdale College is amazing. You know that 800 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 1: this is a fight for the most ultimate thing. It's exciting. 801 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,760 Speaker 1: We want in November. We want to keep those victories going. 802 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,400 Speaker 1: Thank you, guys for your belief in our work at 803 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 1: Turning Point and what doing at Hillsdale College. Honored to 804 00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,840 Speaker 1: be here. Thank you guys so much.
