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 atturning 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 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: Here I am.

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: Lord, Use me.

18
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show

22
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: All right, welcome to The Charlie Kirk Show. March fourth,

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, welcome, Blake. Lots to get to today

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 3: we have a jam pack show. I'm excited to announce

25
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 3: that we have Steve Toff who has he took down

26
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 3: took down Dan Frenchman, Dan Crenshaw, and that was a

27
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 3: big upset. Dan Crenshaw becomes the first incumbent House member

28
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: to lose his reelection bid.

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 4: So he's done and so there you go. That is

30
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 4: a turning point.

31
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 3: Action endorsed candidate taking out d Dan Crenshaw in Texas's

32
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: second district.

33
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 5: To everyone who turned out Phoenix Woodlands.

34
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 3: Area north of Houston, Houston, because you know you limited

35
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: veotix anyway. So we've got him in the second hour

36
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: at one point thirty eastern, so don't go anywhere.

37
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: We're excited to talk to him. We've actually also got

38
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 4: an admiral.

39
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: We're going to talk tactics, what we know about chessboard

40
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: pieces moving across the board in the Iran War. But

41
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: we want to unpack everything that's going on right now

42
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 3: with the primary elections in Texas that happened last night

43
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 3: here on Real America's Voice. Steve Bannon did a bang

44
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 3: up job covering the outcomes last night, So kudos to

45
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: him had tip big time. But let's get into the

46
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 3: Senate race. Because this was the big one, and there's

47
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 3: a lot going on, you know, on the AG's house races.

48
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: We get that. Let's go, let's go to this. John

49
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 3: Cornyn looks like he eked out a victory over Ken Paxton.

50
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: We endorse Ken Paxton. But the big story here, Blake

51
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: is it's hard to overstate how much of a David

52
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 3: versus Goliath story this.

53
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 4: Actually, yeah, they.

54
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 5: Spent approximately what sixty million dollars.

55
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 3: I've seen sixty I've seen seventy five. I've seen one

56
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 3: hundred and five.

57
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 6: It depends huge amounts of money either way. They massively

58
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 6: spent to keep Cornyn in office. I would say corn

59
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 6: has to be one of the Republicans who sparks the

60
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 6: least enthusiasm among the base of his state and around

61
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 6: the country.

62
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 3: Well, here's the angle here, though. If you're looking at that,

63
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: you see Wesley Hunt got almost three hundred thousand votes. Okay,

64
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: that is a lot of votes, and mark my words,

65
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: turnout's going to be even higher for the next for

66
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 3: the runoff. Okay, so what you're seeing is a forty

67
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: one point nine percent for Cornyn the incumbent over forty

68
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 3: point seven percent for Ken Paxton.

69
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 5: I mean, it's just corn corn is a guy.

70
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 6: I think it's pretty safe to say Paxton has advantaged

71
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 6: in the runoff. And the reason for this is Cornan

72
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 6: is a pro amnesty Republican, yes, well known for that.

73
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: Also Wesley Hunt. Most of those votes for Wesley Hunt

74
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: are probably going to go to Paxton. And here's the

75
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 3: other thing. The Senate Leadership Fund was hitting Wesley Hunt.

76
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: So if the Senate Leadership Fund is obviously wants John

77
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 3: corn they think John Cornyn is the more electable of

78
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: the two candidates, But then you go after Wesley Hunt,

79
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: you're alienating Wesley Hunt's voters. I'm not exactly sure what

80
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 3: the logic was on that, But the piece here that's

81
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 3: important is the establishment wants John Cornyn. They think that

82
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 3: he is more electable. And maybe he might be maybe.

83
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 5: Although it's okay he's a vote for amnesty. I would

84
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 5: rather not have a vote for amnesty in the Senate.

85
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 5: He's a vote against so many things.

86
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: He might be more electable or but here's the thing.

87
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,799
Speaker 3: They have said this about Ken Paxton from the jump.

88
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 3: They have done this to him in every statewide election,

89
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 3: and guess what, Ken Paxton keeps winning and winning by

90
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: a sizable majority. Now, I'm not saying that if you

91
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: put Cornyan up against Tall Rico that corn wouldn't get

92
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: maybe a percentage point more or a percentage point and

93
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 3: a half. But then you get this senator that's good

94
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 3: for nothing in the US Senate. We have enough of those.

95
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 3: Ken Paxton is a fighter. He's proven he can win

96
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 3: statewide again and again and again. They always throw the

97
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 3: same attack lines at him. He's absolutely capable of winning

98
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 3: the against well.

99
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 5: That is the more important thing.

100
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 6: Because the candidate on the Democrat side, I think we

101
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 6: were all hoping we would get to go against Jasmine Crockett.

102
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 6: We all have found her highly entertaining. She's given us

103
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 6: a lot of enjoyment.

104
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 5: Over the years.

105
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 6: But Jasmine Crockett's somewhat long shot primary bid where she

106
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 6: opened with a video of President Trump calling her an

107
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 6: idiot while sitting there, has fallen short. She has fallen short.

108
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 6: We should bid farewell for her with one final video,

109
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 6: I think, which is her coming out and saying that

110
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 6: the primary was rigged by the Republicans. We will note

111
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 6: primaries in Texas are just run by the parties themselves.

112
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 6: So I guess the Republican has infiltrated the Democrat Party

113
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 6: and just set.

114
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 4: It all up.

115
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 6: We'll bid her farewell with one last cry of racism.

116
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 7: For seventy one alright has already stated we encourage each

117
00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 7: and every one of you to remain resilient. We cannot

118
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 7: allow this type of behavior to be rewarded, because so

119
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 7: long as they know that they can win, even if

120
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 7: it means cheating, then they will continue.

121
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 8: To do it.

122
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 4: Wait wait, wait, wait, wait wait wait, hold on.

123
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: I have been credibly informed that there is no such

124
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 3: thing as election fraud. I have been credibly informed. But

125
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 3: yet Jasmine Crockett alleges that there was cheating going on.

126
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: My favorite thing to see is Democrats alleging other Democrats

127
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: are cheating or in this case, I guess she did.

128
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 3: She said that Republicans rigged it or something. I don't

129
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 3: know why we would rig it, Okay, I had, so

130
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: I begrudgingly am going to give Blake to a little

131
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: hat tip period a very good line about Tall Rico.

132
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 6: Now Tall Rico, so that is that is who won

133
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 6: James Tolerance Ta Rico Presbyterian seminarian, I think is what

134
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 6: he was so and.

135
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 4: But but is he moderate?

136
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 6: Well, so that's the thing is that they're going we

137
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 6: often kind of reintroduce talercate everyone. You're going to be

138
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 6: seeing him. He is now the standard bearer for the

139
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 6: Democrats this midterm. He is their guy. He's probably going

140
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 6: to get the most money. If he were to win

141
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 6: next November, it will be touted as their biggest win.

142
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 6: We're going to see this guy everywhere, James tell Rico,

143
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 6: and they're going to tell you he's a moderate, he's

144
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 6: the new face of the Democrat party. He's Christian, he's

145
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 6: a good old boy, all these things. James tall Rico

146
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 6: is not moderate. He's just white.

147
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 5: That's just all in it. He is a white male.

148
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 3: Can we repeat that for the folks in the back

149
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 3: that maybe didn't hear you. James tall Rico is not moderate,

150
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: he's just white.

151
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 6: It is the exact same thing they ran with Tim

152
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 6: Walls in last the well not a man there, but yeah,

153
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 6: Tim Walls. The point is they trot this guy out

154
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 6: and they say, look, he's a white, straight guy. You know,

155
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 6: he hunts, he was on a football team or ago.

156
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 6: He's moderate, He's safe for all of you when we

157
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 6: know because he tells you himself. He embraces all of

158
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 6: the worst, most radical policies of the Democratic Party, like

159
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 6: we have Gavin Newsom coming out and sort of signaling

160
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 6: now we should maybe chill out on the transgender stuff, guys,

161
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 6: when this guy is going out and uh saying stuff

162
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 6: like this four ninety five.

163
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 9: God is both masculine and feminine and everything in between.

164
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 9: God is non binary.

165
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 6: Or this where he said, uh, you know, there are

166
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 6: six biological sexes five twenty four.

167
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 9: I want us all to be aware of is that

168
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 9: that modern science obviously recognized as that there are many

169
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 9: more than two biological sexes.

170
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 10: In fact, there are six, but six biological sexes, Like

171
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 10: this is the moderate, Say this is the moderate because

172
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 10: the radical debs they believe there's infinity sexes.

173
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 3: At least he's limiting it to six. So this is

174
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 3: he is moderate. He's a total modern he only believes

175
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 3: in six sexes. So here's here's a Bible verse for you,

176
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 3: Blake James fourteen six. Jesus answered, I am the Way

177
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 3: and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to

178
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 3: the Father except through me. Now Here ta Rico's take

179
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 3: on this five point thirty.

180
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 9: Five leave Christianity points to the truth. I also think

181
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 9: other religions of love point to the same truth. I

182
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 9: think of different religious traditions as different languages. So you

183
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 9: and I could sit here and debate what to call

184
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 9: this cup, and you could call it a cup in English,

185
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 9: you'd call it something else in Spanish and French. But

186
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 9: we are all talking about the same reality. I believe

187
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 9: Jesus Christ reveals that reality to us, but I also

188
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 9: think that other traditions reveal that reality in their own ways,

189
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 9: with their own symbol structures. And I've learned more about

190
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 9: my tradition by learning more about Buddhism and Hinduism and

191
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 9: Islam and Judaism, and so I see these beautiful faith

192
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 9: traditions as circling the same truth about the universe, about

193
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 9: the cosmos, and that truth is inher a mystery.

194
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I think it's worth repeating every time you

195
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 3: see these clips. I want you to tell yourself, James

196
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 3: taal Rico is not moderate.

197
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 4: He's just white. Okay.

198
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 6: I mean, so, I think we have we can come

199
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 6: up with various terms for what tall Rico believes, but

200
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 6: it's not for Christianity, that is, a er believer in

201
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 6: the Christ who said he was sent by God to

202
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 6: redeem sens or not answer the question well.

203
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 4: And this is the thing.

204
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 3: Left wing Christianity is an extraordinary intellectual exercise because you

205
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: can see there James tal Rico is twisting himself into

206
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 3: ideological and intellectual knots, trying to carve a way out

207
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 3: for a progressive to relate to what he's saying so

208
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: that they don't think he's a bigot, you know, not

209
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: like all us Maga Bible thumpers. And it's designed progressive

210
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: christian to blot out all the aspects of the faith

211
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: that don't align with the Democrat Party platform. Sat another way,

212
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: they put their own ideologies, their own wants, their own

213
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,719
Speaker 3: appetites ahead of the commandments of God in scripture. And

214
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 3: that's why it's completely unrecognizable to your average Christian, to

215
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 3: your average Evangelical, to your average Catholic, to your average Orthodox.

216
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: And this is a verse for James Tyalrico. I'd love

217
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 3: to get his feedback on the two Timothy four three

218
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 3: through four, for the time is coming when people will

219
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 3: not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears, they will

220
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 3: accumulate for themselves, teachers to suit their own passions, and

221
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 3: will turn away from listening to the truth and wander

222
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: off into myths. And that's what you're seeing with the

223
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 3: progressive Christians like James tall Rico.

224
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 5: I feel like we.

225
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 6: Need, we're gonna need a sustained investigation to find out

226
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 6: how many coexist.

227
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 5: Bumper stickers, James Tolerago.

228
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 6: Hass on his car, on his computers, on various paraffine

229
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 6: alia throughout his life because the answer.

230
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 5: Is not zero, the answer zero.

231
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 3: Well, and listen. To make a further point, this is

232
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 3: how James tall Rico uses scripture in his Christian faith,

233
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 3: and going to seminary of course, because because no seminaries

234
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 3: are progressive. Of course, to defend abortion, not just any abortion,

235
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: by the way, trans abortion as well.

236
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: Four ninety.

237
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 9: Before we go further, I want to acknowledge that our

238
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 9: trans community needs abortion care too. Defending Trans Texas is

239
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 9: something we have to do every day at the state Capitol,

240
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 9: and you better believe I'll be getting sermons on that too.

241
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 9: So when I use the word woman, it should not

242
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 9: be understood as an exhaustive term, but rather as a

243
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 9: as a lens through which to understand, examine, and interrogate patriarchy.

244
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 6: Okay, so I'm going to note something. So for those

245
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 6: against say he was preaching Saint Andrew's Presbyterian church, I

246
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 6: want to go back to his whole Every religion is true.

247
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 6: Saint Andrew is an apostle, and according to tradition, he

248
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 6: is martyred on an ex cross because he will not

249
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 6: follow the Roman gods. He will not follow other the

250
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 6: pagan gods. He preaches that Christ is the savior and

251
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 6: the only you know is the way and the truth

252
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 6: of life, and that God is the only God. And

253
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 6: for that he is executed according to Christian tradition. That

254
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 6: is why he is Saint Andrew.

255
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 5: So how can.

256
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 6: James go out there and say, well, actually, the Romans

257
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 6: were also just on their way to the truth, and

258
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 6: you know he probably should have been more tolerant of that.

259
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 3: Well, he probably would have said, well, the Romans were

260
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 3: not practicing a religion of love.

261
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 6: He might have said the bet because the Romans, the

262
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 6: Romans didn't have nearly the problem with abortion that the

263
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 6: early Christians did.

264
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 5: But no, he says they were wrong on that one too.

265
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 3: Listen, be careful and beware of false teachers that will

266
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 3: lead you astray, and they will tell you whatever their

267
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 3: itching ears want to hear because they are avoiding persecution

268
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 3: for the truth. That is essentially what this is. God says,

269
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 3: do you fear man? Do you fear God?

270
00:13:59,080 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 4: Well?

271
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 3: When you watch down scripture and when you put your

272
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 3: own intellect and your own ideologies and your own political

273
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 3: platform ahead of what scripture says, well, that's false teaching

274
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 3: and it's extremely dangerous. But wait, there's more. James tall

275
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 3: Rico's bad on the border. Can you imagine being a

276
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 3: Texan and being awful on the border, and you.

277
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 6: Have a Republican's bad on the border in the Senate

278
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 6: for Texas.

279
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 4: Right, fair enough, four ninety four.

280
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 9: Our southern border should be like our front porch. There

281
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 9: should be a giant welcome mat out front and a

282
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 9: lock on the door. We can welcome immigrants who want

283
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 9: to live the American dream. We can build a pathway

284
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 9: to citizenship for those neighbors who have been here, making

285
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 9: us richer and stronger, and we can keep out people

286
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 9: who mean to do us harm.

287
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 4: Giant front porch welcome.

288
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 6: He is not moderate, He's just a white guy, and

289
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 6: they're going to endlessly do this spent and it's really sinister.

290
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 6: As as Christians, we have to be especially alert when

291
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 6: they put these fake Christians in front of you and

292
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 6: they say, oh, yeah, he's he loves Jesus too, and

293
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 6: when they're preaching something that is really evil. When he

294
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 6: is preaching literal child sacrifice in a supposed church, that

295
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 6: is honestly far worse and far more sinister it than

296
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 6: if he was just a non religious democrat.

297
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 4: Woe unto you.

298
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 3: As America turns two hundred and fifty, we want to

299
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 3: help Good Ranchers take a moment to remember the people

300
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 3: who built it, and those, of course are America's ranchers.

301
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: For over two hundred and fifty years, ranchers had worked

302
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 3: tirelessly to feed America through droughts, wars, recessions, pandemics, changing politics.

303
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: They don't stop and that is the kind of legacy

304
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 3: Good Ranchers was built on. Unlike others, Good Ranchers is

305
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 3: a meat company that's one hundred percent committed to America,

306
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: not just in words, but in practice. Every cut they

307
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 3: offer is raised on local American farms and ranches, from

308
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 3: the pasture to the final seal on every box. So

309
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: as we head into a year meant to celebrate American culture,

310
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 3: Good Ranchers stands right at the heart of that story.

311
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 3: I am actually a good Rancher subscriber myself, and I

312
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: love how easy it is to manage my orders. When

313
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: life gets busy or traveling, I pause or move my

314
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 3: order and just if you clicks, it's simple, flexible, and

325
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 3: most accomplished military minds that I think we've ever had,

326
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: and I want to talk strategy, chessboard, chess pieces on

327
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 3: a board kind of thing. This is Admiral Bob Harward

328
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 3: He grew up in Iran, graduated from the Tehran American

329
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 3: School and speaks Farsi. A former Navy seal and Vice admiral,

330
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 3: he led US operation in Afghanistan in Iraq served as

331
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 3: Deputy commander of the US Central Command, I mean, counter terrorism,

332
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 3: all the things. This is a very accomplished gentleman, Admiral

333
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,239
Speaker 3: Bob Harwood. Welcome to the show. Honored to have you.

334
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 3: There's so much news out of Iran. Give us the

335
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 3: big picture of view right now. How are our troops

336
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 3: along with the israel How are they performing? Are we

337
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 3: ahead of schedule, behind schedule? Your assessment, sir, incredible.

338
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 11: The whole thing, from cradle to grave is just incredible.

339
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 11: That's the best description I can have. That we had

340
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 11: a leader who was finally, after forty years, willing to

341
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 11: take the political risk to stand up to this repressive

342
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 11: regime that has been killing our people, attacking our partners

343
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 11: in the region, attacking us in cyber and panetic activities

344
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 11: in Iraq and Yemen. So that in itself is incredible.

345
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 11: Then the actions of our military the real testament, the

346
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 11: long term investments, the long term commitment, the professionalism of

347
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 11: our military, and the capability and capacity of our military

348
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 11: to come in here in a matter of days and

349
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 11: really obliterate their integrated air defense system, their ability to

350
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 11: project power. So it's just unprecedented. And then most important

351
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 11: is you've noted the strategy and what this means. This

352
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 11: changes the geopolitical content of a world as we know it.

353
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 11: Right now, we've removed one of the axis of evil

354
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 11: that everyone's acknowledged for the last three or four decades.

355
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 11: Or it's just incredible in every way.

356
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 3: So I want to play this clip from Secretary of

357
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: War Pete Hegseth talking about kind of the initial volley

358
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 3: and return fire that we saw from around. He talks

359
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 3: about it as a scripted play, like a football team

360
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 3: for eighty two.

361
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 12: But I like in Iran's predicament to a football team

362
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 12: who scripted the first twenty plays of a game. The

363
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 12: team knew what plays to run because their first few

364
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 12: drives were scripted. But now that the game has started

365
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 12: and the blitz is on, they don't know what plays

366
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 12: to call, let alone how to get in the huddle

367
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 12: and call those plays. Iran's senior leaders are dead. The

368
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 12: so called governing council that might have selected a successor dead, missing,

369
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 12: or cowering in bunkers, too terrified to even occupy the

370
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 12: same room.

371
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 4: General's, mid level officers, enlisted ranks.

372
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 12: They can't talk or communicate, let alone mount a coordinated

373
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 12: and sustained offensive. The Iranian Air Force is no more

374
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 12: built for nineteen ninety six, destroyed in twenty twenty six.

375
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 12: The Iranian Navy rests at the bottom of the Persian Gulf.

376
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 3: So now this, I mean, all of this is amazing.

377
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 3: And Pete hag Seth basically said that you know their

378
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 3: aired defe This is about We're about to command this

379
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 3: guy's over Iran in a day or two, less than

380
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: a week. But then the question, then, Sir, becomes how

381
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 3: long does this take?

382
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 6: Because we are seeing the concerns Admiral about missile stockpiles.

383
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 6: Does the US have enough for this to go weeks

384
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 6: months on end? Can we win that war of attrition

385
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 6: with whatever Iran's built up? That's a concern I'm seeing

386
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,640
Speaker 6: a lot of people have, and we are seeing, for example,

387
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 6: people are betting money on this sort of thing, and

388
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 6: the prediction markets say there's only about a forty percent

389
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 6: chance that the regime falls by July. Can the us

390
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 6: sustain this if the fight is going into April, May,

391
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 6: the summer, June, July.

392
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 11: Well, first off, I just agree with that premise completely.

393
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 11: And again, our stockpiles are less relevant once we stop

394
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 11: the ability to project power. If they can't launch missiles,

395
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 11: they can't launch drones, they can't mind the straits of

396
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 11: our mows. Who cares how long it takes. They can't

397
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 11: hurt us, they can't hurt our allies. Time is on

398
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 11: our sides, and do we arm the courage? Do we

399
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 11: move arms into the people the opposition? Look, we've had

400
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 11: thirty years of hunting people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yem and everywhere.

401
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 11: We can apply that same capability here in Iran to

402
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 11: the IRGC and the regime that's been killing its people.

403
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 11: So then time is irrelevant as long as they pose

404
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 11: no threat and we've defanged them, which we're doing now.

405
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 11: And as I said previously, we could will be at

406
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 11: that tipic point now. We could take all the time

407
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 11: in the world to eviscerate the leaders and those people

408
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 11: who want to continue to project this ideology of radical

409
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 11: Islam being a legit, jitimate form of government to repress

410
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 11: its people and threaten others in the region and US

411
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 11: and our allies. So time becomes irrelevant in that mind.

412
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 11: So we have plenty of time to sustain that for

413
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 11: whatever it takes. And I think back to your timeline

414
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 11: June or July. Once we've eviscerated that and focused capacity

415
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 11: and capability on the IRGC, you're going to see a

416
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 11: lot more people turning. They're going to have to make

417
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 11: that choice dry and while to live and be a

418
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 11: part of the future or a my one just sacrifice

419
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 11: my life for losing cause that has been proven to

420
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 11: be illegitimate. So that's where I think this thing only accelerates.

421
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 11: So this June and sustainment, I think that's a.

422
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 4: Red hearing copy that.

423
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 3: And so you're also a member of the Iron Policy

424
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 3: Project at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America.

425
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: So one of the things that's striking about this is

426
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 3: you've seen, at least in America, but really around the world,

427
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 3: you've seen Jews and Iranians celebrating in the streets together,

428
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 3: which I think is a really I mean, you wouldn't

429
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 3: necessary really see that or predict to see that, But

430
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 3: you speak Farsi, you know something about the internal makeup

431
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 3: of the people in Iran. What is the next step then,

432
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 3: especially when we're talking about potentially arming the Kurds, I mean,

433
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: because then you start worrying about civil war breaking out

434
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 3: or something like that. What is the will of the

435
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: IRGC and those loyal to the regime to stick and

436
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 3: stay fighting, and what would be the process for turning

437
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: over the government and getting a new government in its place.

438
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 11: Let me go back to your initial comments about Israelis

439
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 11: or Jews in the Iranians. When I grew up in

440
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 11: Iran from sixties to seventy nine collapsed, the largest Jewish

441
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 11: community outside of Israel was in Iran. It's right, and

442
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 11: it was a very secular nation. They worked together business.

443
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 11: It was really a peaceful area. And I've been in

444
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 11: LA's and a few months ago where I attended bar

445
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 11: Mitza there were more Persians and Iranians than there were

446
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 11: Jews in that bar Mitzvah. So this ideology is what's

447
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 11: made this whole regime so perverse. They flipped that on

448
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 11: the head and made them their enemy and a threat

449
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 11: as well as US, and the Iranian people have come

450
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 11: to realize it's all a lie and facade. So again

451
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 11: back to this flipping the regime. Once we've decimated that

452
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 11: the ability to project power and can go after using

453
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 11: signal intelligence, human intelligence, space assets, and can track and

454
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 11: watch people not only to finish and fix them, but

455
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 11: to identify them to the opposition groups so they can

456
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 11: be targeted internally. And a few of those start occurring,

457
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 11: You're going to watch these guys turn very quickly or

458
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 11: leave the country if they can. So I think when

459
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 11: you've got a nation of ninety million people where they've

460
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 11: spoken very loudly, they've been on the streets protest and

461
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 11: we're murdered, they're ready to hold these people accountable and

462
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 11: act against them. And so again, I think that timeline

463
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 11: can move much quicker than people realize.

464
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, and do we have have we? You know?

465
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 3: I'm looking here at iran in an international dot com

466
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 3: and there's a note here that I logged. It says

467
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: the IRGC is also reportedly deeply concerned that once daylight

468
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 3: breaks on Sunday, people across various parts of the country

469
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 3: may take to the streets, potentially triggering a new wave

470
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 3: of gatherings and protests. Have you heard anything on your

471
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 3: end about a potential new wave of protests? People taking

472
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 3: to the streets or is it too early to tell.

473
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 11: No, it's inevitable. They've already been done it, but they

474
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 11: were mowed down. Now the President, as he said, help

475
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 11: is on the way. The help's there, and it's even coming.

476
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 11: More so, they're gonna being powder. I don't know if

477
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 11: it happens Sunday, if it happens Monday, it's coming. So

478
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 11: no doubt about it. You'd have to be a blind

479
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 11: man not to see a The day of reckoning for

480
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 11: this regime and those who stood with it, willing to

481
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 11: murder the people will be is coming much quicker than

482
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 11: people realize. So this tipping point can occur almost any

483
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 11: day now.

484
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean, listen, we certainly hope it doesn't

485
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 3: devolve into some sort of sectarian fighting or civil war.

486
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,119
Speaker 3: And that's why we have people like you that know

487
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 3: the people better than we do and understand what's going

488
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 3: to happen next. So last ten fifteen seconds to you, sir.

489
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's just again, just as we start. This is

490
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 11: an incredible event, and we gotta start bickering phone stones

491
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 11: at me. Let's see it through to fruition and then

492
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 11: we can debate afterward. But We're in the middle of

493
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 11: the fight now and this thing's going at a great

494
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 11: rate of speed. Don't diminish it.

495
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, nobody, sir, nobody is.

496
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 3: I mean, we're all impressed by our military, Mike, and

497
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: it is incredible to watch.

498
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 4: Thank you.

499
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 3: Your perspective is invaluable and your accomplishments for this country

500
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 3: are We respect them greatly and are grateful for you

501
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 3: and your service, sir. Thank you so much. Thank you, guys,

502
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 3: God bless you.

503
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 6: The online world moves fast, and it's moving even faster

504
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 6: these days. That's why TikTok approaches teen safety with families

505
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 6: in mind from the start, because discovery and creativity are

506
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 6: both wonderful things, but it's important to make sure that

507
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 6: safety comes first as well. On TikTok, teenagers have over

508
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 6: fifty built in protections right from when they join.

509
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 5: Accounts.

510
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 6: Routines all start private by default, They're not open to

511
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 6: the entire world, and for those under sixteen, direct messages

512
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 6: are turned off. Only their friends can comment on their videos.

513
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 6: And that kind of approach matters because feeling confident and

514
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 6: comfortable about these platforms your teenagers are on shouldn't mean

515
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 6: digging through a bunch of menus and trying to set

516
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 6: everything up yourself and worrying that you got it wrong.

517
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 6: TikTok is taking a proactive approach. Their protections are built

518
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 6: in from the moment those teenagers, so that safety and

519
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 6: peace of mind for parents is there right from the start.

520
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 6: All of this is to say when safety comes first,

521
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 6: discovery and creativity can follow without fear. Learn more by

524
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 3: Our US military is second to none, and we love

525
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 3: our military, we support them, and again, once this conflict

526
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 3: began raging, we want to win, all right, once you

527
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 3: press go, like I think, the patriotic thing to do

528
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 3: is not take it blindly, not not ask questions or

529
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 3: anything like that. I disagree with all of those things,

530
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 3: but we hope and pray for the safety of our troops,

531
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 3: for the success of our troops, and that this will

532
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 3: ultimately prove to be a good thing for the world.

533
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 3: Now you may have disagreed with this going on. By

534
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 3: the way, Blake, Blake is gonna pull emails. We talked

535
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 3: about this. I don't know if you've already done, but Yeah,

536
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 3: I've been looking at them where where it's like, you know,

537
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 3: we've got emails.

538
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 6: And it's I feel like we've done our best on

539
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 6: the show to talk about how we think Charlie would

540
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 6: have reacted to the build up to this war and

541
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 6: the outbreak of it. And I feel a sign that

542
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 6: we're hopefully getting it right is we have competing emails

543
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 6: that say we are betraying Charlie by being too supportive

544
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 6: of the president, and we are betraying Charlie by being

545
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 6: too critical of the lead up to.

546
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 5: The war, and that we are skeptical of it. So

547
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 5: and listen, I think that's about the position.

548
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was exactly Charlie's experience with when it came

549
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 3: to these things. But a couple of cool things have happened,

550
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 3: actually just and cool in the sense that, like, listen,

551
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: I love our military. There's nothing that is going to

552
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 3: make me not love the military. I my brother serves,

553
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 3: I have family members that serve, and we're proud of

554
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 3: them when they do cool things. And you know, you

555
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 3: could disagree with the premise of the war and still

556
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 3: think that what they're doing is cool. And one of

557
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 3: them is that we have some sunk a ship. We

558
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 3: have some submarine ship in battle and an American submarine.

559
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 3: Let's throw up the bureau. Four ninety eight, an American

560
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 3: submarine sunk an Iranian warship in the Indian Ocean.

561
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 6: It had apparently gone to some sort of naval review

562
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 6: in India and then it was departing. It was in

563
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 6: international waters and it was sunk about thirty miles off

564
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 6: that post Sri Lanka.

565
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, play it again.

566
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 4: Amazing, you can see it there.

567
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 6: We have a powerful torpedo blew its back off. It's

568
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 6: only the second time a nuclear powered submarine has sunk

569
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 6: a ship with a torpedo. The British famously took out

570
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 6: the General Belgrano of.

571
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 5: Argentina during the Falklands War.

572
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 6: But this is the first time an American submarine has

573
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 6: done it since they were sinking Japanese ships eighty years ago.

574
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 6: And you've got to think it's got to be very exciting.

575
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 6: Can you imagine that crew the first time for decades

576
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 6: they've trained for this and they're finally going into action.

577
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 3: And listen, that is a huge, huge deal that the

578
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 3: taking out the naval capabilities of the Iranians freeze up

579
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 3: the Strait of hormuse. So, just to reiterate, about twenty

580
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 3: percent of the world's energy flows through the Strait and

581
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 3: fourteen to fifteen percent of all world trade flows through.

582
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 6: The heart of President Trump was saying what his specific

583
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 6: objectives are with this conflict, and it was removed the

584
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 6: Supreme Leader, remove their nuclear program and sink their navy.

585
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 6: These are explicit objectives he has stated. So it takes

586
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 6: us closer to achieving those objectives that this happened. And

587
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 6: that's what we want to see. What we want consistently

588
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 6: from this administration. We want to see signs that they

589
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 6: know what their objectives are and are working towards them.

590
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 6: And what you want to avoid are signs of a

591
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 6: conflict becoming open ended, becoming unclear, just we will fight

592
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 6: until victory, and this without saying what that is.

593
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 3: This is a story that we need to get to here.

594
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 3: And so CNN yesterday was reporting that the CIA is

595
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 3: working to arm Kurdish forces.

596
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 4: This was reported that lead reporter on this.

597
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 3: Was Natasha Bertrand who you will know from the fifty

598
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 3: former Intel officials you know believe that, but Hudter's top

599
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 3: But that means they have questions this information, This Natasha

600
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 3: is bertrand is notorious for basically publishing press releases from

601
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 3: deep deep state intel operatives. Okay, this was a story

602
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 3: that was leaked, meaning that in my opinion, the people

603
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 3: that leaked it are trying to harm the president. So

604
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 3: here's CNN trying to explain this for seventy.

605
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,719
Speaker 13: We spent some time this evening with a senior Iranian

606
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 13: Kurdish politician who basically told us that he the expectation

607
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 13: among Iraqi, sorry Kurdish Iranian opposition forces is that they

608
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 13: will be going into western Iran as part of some

609
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 13: kind of a ground operation over the course or at

610
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 13: some point during the next few days. That they will

611
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 13: have support from the US and from Israel, though he

612
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 13: would not be drawn as to what exactly that support

613
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 13: will look like. He also told us that President Trump

614
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 13: himself had called the leader of the KDPI, which is

615
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 13: one of these Iranian Kurdish opposition parties today, and that

616
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 13: they had what he categorized as or characterized, I should say,

617
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 13: as a positive.

618
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 3: Common all right, So what's our history arming Kurdish, Well,

619
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 3: we've done it for a long time.

620
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 6: Israel also has extensive connections with the Kurds. So, the

621
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 6: Kurds are an ethnic group in the mountainous area. They've

622
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 6: never had their own state, notably, and.

623
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 4: So they're the largest ethnic group in the world that

624
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 4: does not have their own study.

625
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 5: Yes, so they have.

626
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 6: So they're all across northern Iraq, Iraq, Iran, they're in Turkey.

627
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:56,959
Speaker 6: I think most of them are in Turkey. There are

628
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 6: some in Syria. They've repeatedly popped up because they tend

629
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 6: to be their fractious minority. I don't know that they're

630
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 6: more all of them are communists. We're more Western friendly,

631
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 6: that would be true. And we've armed them in a

632
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 6: lot of conflicts, and you know, sometimes it's helpful, sometimes

633
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 6: it's not. We encouraged them to launch an uprising against

634
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 6: Saddam Hussein uh and they were notably, they were gassed

635
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 6: by Saddam Hussein before the Golf War. After the Gulf War,

636
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 6: we encouraged both Kurds and Shia Muslims in a rock

637
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 6: to rise up against Saddam, but we didn't support them directly,

638
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 6: so they were suppressed. And they've also been heavily involved

639
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 6: in the Syrian Civil War. So I would find it

640
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 6: pretty plausible if we were in communication with them to

641
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 6: have some sort of on the ground presence in Iran

642
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 6: because President Trump, we know, doesn't want US troops there.

643
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 6: But I would voice a note of concern here, which is,

644
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 6: once you're kind of bringing in these ethnic militias, we

645
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 6: have seen how that can end, which is you're turning

646
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 6: into you're turning a conflict into an ethnic civil war.

647
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,320
Speaker 6: So we had that in Afghanistan, we had that in Libya,

648
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 6: we had that in Syria. All those conflicts went for

649
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 6: a very long time and became difficult.

650
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 4: YEP, it will exactly. So these are part.

651
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 3: Of the unintended consequences of regime change that we have

652
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 3: talked about because.

653
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 5: We don't want our mess.

654
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 6: We don't want it to be possible for the Iranian

655
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 6: regime to say President Trump is trying to dismember Iran

656
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 6: as a country.

657
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 5: That will make it so.

658
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 6: The Iran you know, the Iranians themselves, the Persians, who

659
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 6: are the main ethnic group there, would be more likely

660
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 6: to rally around the regime if it's going to say

661
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 6: they're going to break apart our country.

662
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, the hope is that within Iran itself, if you

663
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 3: start seeing these street protests, take action, if you start

664
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 3: seeing command and control breakdown within the IRGC and the

665
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 3: KUDS force, and obviously the naval apparatus has been dismantled.

666
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 3: You want to see a natural sort of takeover. The

667
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 3: question is what is it going to take. I think

668
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:03,760
Speaker 3: it would be helpful.

669
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 6: I think it would be helpful if the admind probably

670
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 6: said overtly we promised to not take apart iron that

671
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 6: they're I don't they want to?

672
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think they do, so they should, they

673
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 5: should say it.

674
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just want to apply maximum force to make

675
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 3: them fall quickly. And I understand that, but unintended consequences

676
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 3: regime change, it's always the concern.

677
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 4: If you knew Charlie Kirk, you knew this. He was

678
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 4: a connector.

679
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 3: Charlie believed in finding good people and connecting them with

680
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 3: other good people that he cared about. When someone truly

681
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 3: took care of him, Charlie would never hesitate to recommend them.

682
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 3: Andrew Delray and Todd of Akin were two of those people.

683
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 3: They personally helped Charlie and Erica with their mortgage needs,

684
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 3: and Charlie trusted them completely, whether it was a home

685
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 3: buyer trying to qualify or someone needing to consolidate debt

686
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 3: or see if they could get a lower rate in payments.

687
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 3: These were the guys Charlie sent people to and right now,

688
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 3: timing matters. The market has shifted and rates have come down.

689
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 3: There's more inventory, bidding wars have cooled, and buyers finally

690
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 3: have more control. But that window won't stay open forever.

691
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 3: As rates come down, competition will return. That's why being

692
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 3: prepared now is so important. Andrew and Todd at Union

Speaker 3: That's what Charlie dedicated his life to reaching the next generation.

00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 3: And today we have Megan Doyle from Rutgers University and

709
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 3: Brooke Christy from Appalachian State University. Welcome to the show,

710
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 3: both you, ladies.

711
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 8: Thank you so much for having us here. It's exciting

712
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 8: to be here.

713
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 4: Absolutely. All right, Well, thank you so much. So. Which

714
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 4: one's Megan, Which one's Brook? I'm Brook, I'm all right

715
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 4: there you go, Hey, Brook, Hi, Meghan.

716
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 3: All right, So I want to start off by asking

717
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 3: you guys to give us the vibe on campus of

718
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 3: this the strikes against Iran.

719
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 4: What's the vibe?

720
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 3: What are people saying, Let's go ahead and start be

721
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 3: honest with us, Yes, beyond bad, tell us we want

722
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 3: to know.

723
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,720
Speaker 4: We want the unvarnished truth. Brook, you first.

724
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 13: Yeah.

725
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 8: I think my campus especially, people are very upset with

726
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 8: the United States and their involvement. I think that a

727
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 8: lot of direction is pointed at Israel and questioning our

728
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,479
Speaker 8: allies and the motives in that way.

729
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 14: And Meghan, yeah, I definitely agree that it's the same

730
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 14: vibe that we're having on campus, and I think more

731
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 14: people don't want to see another war.

732
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 3: Copy, So are you seeing protests? Are you seeing are

733
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 3: people gathering in the square in the quad? What kind

734
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 3: of activities are you seeing this manifest in.

735
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 8: I'm mostly seeing things through online platforms, people on Instagram

736
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 8: or Twitter, just you know, really going in at President

737
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 8: Trump and being upset that, you know, gas prices might

738
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 8: go up and forever war Like, people really really do

739
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 8: not want boots on the ground in this circumstance.

740
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 6: Are you seeing that even from people that you know

741
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 6: voted for Trump in twenty twenty four or is it more?

742
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 6: Is it still mostly from people you know would be

743
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 6: left wing regardless, or.

744
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 8: I think the idea of starting a new foreign war

745
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 8: is really even for Trump voters, really deterring people from

746
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 8: wanting to align with the administration and their actions. I

747
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 8: can't speak for everyone, but I've definitely seen those opinions

748
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 8: on campus.

749
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 4: Copy. Megan, you seeing the same.

750
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 14: Thing, Ah, Yes, And I think more people want to

751
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 14: focus on our country. They don't want another war. They

752
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 14: want to focus on affordability and housing and the gas prices.

753
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 4: Yeah.

754
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 3: And I mean, listen, you know, we've gotten a lot

755
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 3: of emails from our audience that are upset that we're not,

756
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 3: I guess more full throated in our support of the war.

757
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 3: And this is a big reason why is because you know,

758
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 3: Charlie was very in tune with gen Z. He visited

759
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 3: college campuses at Turning Point, and that's all we do

760
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 3: is work with students, and I can tell you that

761
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 3: the vibe on college campuses, even on high school at

762
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 3: the campus is that young people do not want to

763
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 3: go to war. They want to focus here on domestic issues, affordability, college,

764
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 3: that sort of thing.

765
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 4: Free speech.

766
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 3: Are they going to have a job? Is AI taking

767
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 3: over the job market. So that's a big reason why

768
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 3: we're always a little reticent when we see this pensiant

769
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 3: for starting wars in the Middle East. It could end

770
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 3: up being the absolute right decision from a national security perspective,

771
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 3: but it does come with political costs and we need

772
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:16,799
Speaker 3: to be honest about those. So thank you, thank you

773
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 3: guys for being honest about this. All right, We're going

774
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 3: to move on just a little bit here. There's a

775
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 3: new report that says fifty one percent of gen Z

776
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 3: view their college degree as a waste of money. This

777
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 3: has been reported by multiple outlets. But yeah, both of

778
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 3: you are in a college.

779
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 6: Yes, right now, so explain yourselves and yeah, tell us

780
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 6: how you feel about that.

781
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 3: Mean, let's start with you. Do you find your degree

782
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 3: to be a waste of money?

783
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 14: Well, I think my degree. I want to be a

784
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 14: lawyer one day, so I kind of have to have

785
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 14: a degree in order to get to law school. However,

786
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 14: I do think that colleges are ripping each other, ripping

787
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 14: students off from getting a proper education. We have colleges

788
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 14: that are forcing students as a graduation requirement to take

789
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 14: indoctrination classes and it's really the values our degree.

790
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 8: B Yeah, I think that personally for me, I'm going

791
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 8: into the education field and my degree will help me there.

792
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 8: I think that a lot of students these days go

793
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 8: into college with the expectation that the degree is the objective,

794
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 8: when you know, college is really supposed to be for

795
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 8: finding your life's work, and a lot of people are

796
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 8: not going in directionally or thinking ahead of their career,

797
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 8: so they're letting college really scam them instead of you know,

798
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 8: taking accountability for their classes and outside learning. And I

799
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 8: don't think college even with all of the social sciences

800
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 8: and maybe like DEI classes and what we could call brainwashing.

801
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 8: I think that just, you know, so taking that accountability,

802
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 8: really understanding the investment that you're making, and going in

803
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 8: with a purpose could really help with that statistic and

804
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 8: letting kids know that when they go into college it's

805
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 8: not just for your vacation, that it's purposeful and academia

806
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 8: has a purpose.

807
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, ameractly, and Charlie would have you know, we like

808
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 6: we emphasize the college scam because Charlie called it the

809
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 6: college scam. But he would always make that important point

810
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,800
Speaker 6: that you make the scam less of one if you

811
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 6: know what you're if you're studying something useful, if you're

812
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 6: making the most of it, if you're not going on autopilot,

813
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 6: going in with no plan, going in spending too much

814
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 6: money and taking too long.

815
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 3: Let's play Charlie on why he thought college was a

816
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 3: scam five twenty three.

817
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: Just to be clear, the vast majority of people going

818
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: to college should not go. Just one number off the

819
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 1: top is that forty percent of kids that enroll in college,

820
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: they drop out, they don't graduate at all, And the

821
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: vast majority of kids are studying things that humanity associate

822
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: or gender studies. There is of course a role for

823
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: some people to go to college that requires some technical proficiency.

824
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: But what happened, Brian is that the entire value, the

825
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: entire value proposition was turned on its head. Is whether

826
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: it be the two hundred thousand dollars plus of cost

827
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: that it occurs for over four years, the bad ideas,

828
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: the woke ideology. We're really playing with some very dangerous

829
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: elements here. And so I encourage young people to think

830
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: twice before going to college, and not everyone needs to

831
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: go to college to succeed in America.

832
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,880
Speaker 3: Do you resonate with that, Megan? Do you feel like

833
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 3: there's a lot of indoctrination going on?

834
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 14: Yes, definitely, there is quite a lot of indoctrination going

835
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 14: on in our college campuses. We're forced to take these

836
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 14: liberal woke classes that are supposed to are quote so

837
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 14: kind of supposed to help us, but in reality they're

838
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 14: just ripping us off and making us more woke.

839
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you have to pay for that credit by credit, right,

840
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 3: don't call it. When I was in there's a there's

841
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 3: a price per credit that they put on that. I

842
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 3: don't know what it is at Rutgers, I'm assuming pretty high. Actually,

843
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 3: you know Rutgers University. By the way, Blake was the

844
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 3: we we had doctor Antifa was at Rutgers. That was

845
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 3: a guy that wrote the Antifa Handbook and then fled

846
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 3: to Spain when it got hot because he was advocating

847
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 3: that politics should we should be preemptively liberal, should be

848
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 3: preemptively attacking fascists. So and then when then when he

849
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,879
Speaker 3: got a little criticism for that, he tucktail in Rand

850
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 3: to span.

851
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 4: All Right, Megan, you keep saying, uh.

852
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 3: You're talking about this, these courses you have to take,

853
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,880
Speaker 3: these indoctrination courses you have to take, But it sounds

854
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 3: like maybe.

855
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 4: You're not there yet.

856
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 3: You're not juniors and seniors have to take these courses,

857
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 3: which is ironic, right, so before you send them out

858
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 3: in the world.

859
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 6: In our yeah, it just says in our summary there's

860
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 6: apparently literal and Antifa classes.

861
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 3: And if Mark Bray, doctor Antifa, is still employed by

862
00:45:55,680 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 3: Rutgers University institution, yes, a public school, it's a ridicul

863
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 3: He fled to Spain and he's still got a job.

864
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 3: So Megan, tell us about that. What are some of

865
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 3: the courses you've heard about?

866
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 14: So some of the courses that I've heard about was

867
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 14: the history on abortion. And like you said, Mark Ray

868
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 14: is in fact teaching the history of anti fascism, which

869
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 14: he employs his Antifa rhetoric onto students and on along

870
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 14: with the history on abortion. We have professors that are

871
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 14: trying to push this pro choice view onto students.

872
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not education, that's activism. Do you see that

873
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 3: at Appalachia's State Brookes?

874
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 8: I do see some of it. I think there are

875
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 8: certain classes that focus on critical theory and Marxisms, but

876
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 8: a lot of teachers and professors, I think, try and

877
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 8: express their opinions on that. A lot of them are

878
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 8: very much pro leftist, and some of them do do

879
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 8: a great job of, you know, actually engaging students in

880
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 8: real education. What's troubling to me is students not wanting

881
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 8: to break outside of their own thought circles and completely

882
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 8: disregarding other or conservative ideas. So I think it's really

883
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 8: like a student issue that professors, you know, put forward

884
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 8: as well.

885
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 3: So what is it like, you know, in the aftermath

886
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 3: of Charlie's assassination for you, at turning point, a member

887
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,919
Speaker 3: tabling on campus, like, what's the stat how's the club doing?

888
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 3: What's it like what's the reaction for other students at

889
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 3: Appalachia State.

890
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,359
Speaker 8: Since we since Charlie has passed, we've gained about two

891
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 8: hundred students. We started our chapter this semester with about

892
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 8: thirty and now we're up to I think two hundred

893
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 8: and thirteen. So it's been really great community building. We've

894
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 8: had really helpful communication with staff and administration, putting on events,

895
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 8: and we had a cow on campus the other day.

896
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 8: But students are very much anti Turning Point, and I

897
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 8: don't think that they truly want to engage with us

898
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 8: as much if they're in those leftist circles. And that's

899
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,240
Speaker 8: something that I want to work on, is just overall

900
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 8: campus communication.

901
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 3: YEA, getting out there, inviting them to see that we're

902
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 3: not all like crazy fascists that Mark Brad We're really just.

903
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. It turns out conservatives are happy.

904
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 3: And nice and really welcoming if you give us a show,

905
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 3: not that they would expect it.

906
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 4: No, no, exactly.

907
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 3: What about you, Megan, what's the what's the vibe on

908
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 3: Rutgers University? You guys have some great student leaders, especially

909
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 3: on the club level, that helped blow up that Mark

910
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:41,280
Speaker 3: brace story in the first place.

911
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 14: Yes, yes, thank you so much. Yeah, the vibe with

912
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 14: Turning Point beyond campus is quite negative. I remember when

913
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 14: we did our tabling, and students often want to engage

914
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 14: with us, but they don't. They really want to engage

915
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 14: in a negative way. We've had students that mock Charlie

916
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 14: Kirk stuff. We have students that openly insult us for

917
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 14: our conservative and traditional beliefs, and it really just shows

918
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 14: how divided we are, not only as a country but

919
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 14: in campuses as well, and that shouldn't be the case.

920
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 14: We should have open debate and open discussion. Just definitely

921
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 14: something that colleges need to work on.

922
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, Danny's telling as he said at Ohio State, the

923
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 3: college Democrats would threaten their members and people if they

924
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 3: interacted with the chapter, the Turning Point chapter there.

925
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 4: That's very real.

926
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 6: And for those who aren't young people who aren't on campus,

927
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 6: we want to drive this point home that we did

928
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 6: well in twenty twenty four. We did have a shift

929
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 6: of young people towards Trump, but due to events such

930
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 6: as the war, some of that might be reversing. And

931
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 6: also there was stuff where you know, you had more

932
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 6: freedom to be conservative on campus and the left was

933
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 6: cout a bit, but they're charging back. They're going to

934
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,760
Speaker 6: be aggressive again. They're going they might be violent again.

935
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 6: And some of these people look at Luigi as a model.

936
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 6: They might even look at Tyler Robinson as a hero.

937
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's do you guys feel that they're the The

938
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 3: level of antagonism, the aggressiveness of left, the progressive culture

939
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,320
Speaker 3: on campus has escalated in recent months.

940
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 8: I think in a way it has. We have had

941
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:24,720
Speaker 8: a few cases after Charlie Kirk's assassination and the ice

942
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 8: raids in Michigan that people, you know, write very nasty

943
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 8: things on campus, like shoot your local ice agent, and

944
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 8: we've we've had to communicate that with our our staff,

945
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 8: and so it's it's sort of disheartening that people are

946
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 8: taking these lines and protesting against our federal government. It's

947
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,320
Speaker 8: it's an interesting time to be on campus, for sure.

948
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, Megan, have you seen the energy from the left

949
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 3: ramp up in recent months?

950
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 14: Yeah, it has definitely ramped up, especially after Charlie Kirk died,

951
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 14: and you know, with Rutgers Turning Point being involved with

952
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,439
Speaker 14: the petition to remove Mark Ray, it has definitely made

953
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 14: Turning Point quite a target on campus. Like I said before,

954
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:20,879
Speaker 14: we have seen major acts of aggression towards me other

955
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 14: leaders at Turning Point. I've been openly insulted to my

956
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 14: face when I'm doing a tablingk at Turning in my

957
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 14: college campus. And you know, with my involvement in the

958
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 14: Antifa petition, not only have I been doxed, I've been

959
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 14: my personal identity has just been thrown into the Internet

960
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 14: for everyone to see.

961
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry, Megane.

962
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,319
Speaker 5: Thank you for holding firm in the face of that.

963
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 3: You guys are the tip of the spear. You are

964
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 3: so courageous and we just we have your back, and

965
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:03,920
Speaker 3: you guys are doing God's work.

966
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, and thank you for coming on and thank you

967
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 6: for giving us raw honesty on stuff like the war.

968
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 6: We appreciate hearing that Charlie looked to you guys to

969
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,839
Speaker 6: understand the truth of what was going on.

970
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 5: Thank you for giving it to us. See you look

971
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:15,480

1008
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,759

1009
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 16: million dollars teaching everybody how to pronounce my name. And

1010
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:07,439

1011
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 16: nine percent of all people that have ever met me

1012
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 16: the very first time they taught, they don't know how

1013
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 16: to pronounce it.

1014
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:13,239
Speaker 2: You know, it's the funny thing.

1015
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:14,839

1016
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:16,760
Speaker 2: The funny thing is in the parking lot.

1017
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 16: For two weeks of early voting, people kept coming up

1018

1020
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 16: he's put out there that people finally know how to

1021
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 16: pronounce my name.

1022
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:32,719

Speaker 15: I know so many great Uh you know, great Texans

1025
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 15: that are just so relieved is I guess, I guess

1026
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 15: the best word to have somebody that they know they

1027
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 15: can trust representing them in Congress. So tell us about

1028
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 15: what kind of the feedback was. I'm sure it was

1029
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 15: an emotional night last night for you.

1030
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 2: We were just so plumped.

1031
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 16: But you know what's crazy is that I've got a

1032
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 16: background on linear regression modeling and pulling, and people like,

1033
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 16: don't do this, you haven't got a chance, and we're like, no,

1034
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:05,399
Speaker 16: we're gonna win.

1035
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 2: We're gonna win with fifty seven percent of the vote.

1036
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 2: And I was wrong.

1037
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 16: We got fifty eight percent of the vote. But people

1038
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 16: were just like so shocked. And I'm like, he was

1039
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 16: fifty five percent unfavorable in Montgomerent County, which is fifty

1040
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 16: three percent of the district. He was forty four percent

1041
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 16: unfavorable in Harris County, which everyone's like, there's no way

1042
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:29,879
Speaker 16: you can beat him. We're like, no, we're gonna beat him.

1043
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 16: We're we're going to beat him. Trust me on this.

1044
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 16: And so it was just we're just overjoyed last night

1045
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 16: to see it. Finally nine months later, come to Fruition.

1046
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 15: Well, I have family in the North Houston area, and

1047
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 15: they are so thrilled and just in general just about

1048
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 15: I mean, it's just been it feels like it feels

1049
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 15: like for the many years since about twenty twenty, it's

1050
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 15: just been a lot of back and forth shenanigans, uh

1051
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:56,360
Speaker 15: with people.

1052
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 5: And people are just done with that.

1053
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 15: In Congress, they want people who are gonna go, you know,

1054
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 15: be who they are, represent them well, communicate well with

1055
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 15: the people. I mean, what what is what is some

1056
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 15: of your primary goals that you're looking to achieve, you know,

1057
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:12,000
Speaker 15: kind of stepping into that and helping rebuild some trust maybe,

1058
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 15: uh for Texas and and and again that Houston metropolitan

1059
00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 15: area where some people kind of had felt like they

1060
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 15: were being ignored for many, many years by kind of

1061
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 15: the Hollywood levels type stuff that was going on. What

1062
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 15: I mean, what's what's your what's your puts? Your take,

1063
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 15: what's your plan?

1064
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 16: So Congressional District two in Texas is a tale of

1065
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:36,760
Speaker 16: two communities. It's it's the western it's Montgomery County portion

1066
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 16: of Congressional District two in the Harrison County congress UH

1067
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 16: portion of Congressional District two, which the eastern portion of

1068
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 16: this in Harris County has been really by and large overlooked.

1069
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 16: It's the redheaded stepchild, if you will, of the city

1070
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 16: of Houston. And they flooded badly ten years ago, that's right,

1071
00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 16: and so bad. Homes were washed off their frond foundations,

1072
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 16: people were drowned in the middle of the night. A

1073
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 16: terrible situation. And since that time, millions has.

1074
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:09,839
Speaker 2: Been brought back.

1075
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 16: I mean, I was on the appropriations committee and I

1076
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 16: appropriated one point six billion dollars for flood mitigation efforts

1077
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 16: in the state of Texas, and yet none of it, really,

1078
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 16: none of it has found its way to this area.

1079
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 2: And so here we.

1080
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:28,920
Speaker 16: Are ten years later and where every suscepted is susceptible

1081
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 16: to a flood as we were back then. And I

1082
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 16: want to fight for these guys and really help them

1083
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 16: realize that you can live in a place, beautiful place

1084
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 16: like this and I have to worry about your home

1085
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 16: being washed off its foundation in the middle of the night.

1086
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 16: So we've got a lot of work to do, and

1087
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 16: I've got a lot of work to do to really

1088
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 16: press upon them that I'm serious about this.

1089
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 15: Well, I appreciate that I was actually my family, My

1090
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 15: family's home was completely destroyed by those floods ten years ago,

1091
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 15: and it impacted their life in so many more ways.

1092
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 15: I'm the rebuilding you still have, you know, like you're

1093
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 15: mentioning elements of where that community hasn't been rebuilt, and

1094
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:11,160
Speaker 15: so many people left that really shouldn't have left, like great,

1095
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 15: great people who are like, I'm not doing this, and

1096
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 15: they got to different parts of Texas or went to

1097
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 15: different parts of the country, and and that's really sad.

1098
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 4: So I'm glad that you brought that up well.

1099
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 3: And so you talk about restoring the trust with the

1100
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 3: grassroots and the base. You are the grassroots candidate. You

1101
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 3: pulled out a massive, massive win. Crenshaw is out now essentially,

1102
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 3: so you were going to be the Republican nominee and

1103
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 3: you are going against a Democrat though this is an

1104
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 3: R plus district. But he's got a lot of money.

1105
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 2: He's got a lot of money, and.

1106
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 16: His consultant is from what I'd heard, this is the

1107
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 16: guy that ran the campaign for Bernie Sanders when he

1108
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 16: ran for president. So full blown socialists. That's how the

1109
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 16: that's who these lose are in Texas. There is just

1110
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 16: like nothing moderate about him. You think, hey, it's sex

1111
00:59:04,720 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 16: is right. They must be a little bit you know,

1112
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 16: almost like a you know, a Lennon Bangs Johnson kind of. Now,

1113
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 16: those guys Lynna Baines Johnson Democrats are all gone there

1114
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 16: as far looney as you can possibly imagine. And so

1115
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,919
Speaker 16: we're gonna have our hands, our works that cut out

1116
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 16: for us, and we're gonna work hard, and we're gonna

1117
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 16: win this.

1118
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 5: And I'm just looking at old James Tallerico tweet.

1119
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 6: One of our staff just sent us where he's, I guess,

1120
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 6: must be reacting to some someone saying something right of center,

1121
00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 6: and he goes there. But for the grace of God

1122
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 6: go I as a white man, I'm susceptible to radicalization. Thankfully,

1123
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 6: I was exposed to diversity at a young age and

1124
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 6: explicitly taught the values of equality, inclusion, and justice. But

1125
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 6: not every young white boy is so lucky. We've got

1126
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 6: some bloopy people coming out of out of Texas unfortunately, Steve,

1127
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 6: and we need we need to very strong GOP to

1128
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 6: push back on it. And maybe that's you know, we

1129
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 6: can talk about that. There's been a lot of frustrations,

1130
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 6: I think with turnout turnout and just with the Texas GOP. Generally,

1131
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 6: I run into conservatives who make that. They'll make the

1132
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 6: comparison between Texas and Florida a lot. They're both very

1133
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 6: big states, they're both longtime Republican states. They're both very

1134
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:25,160
Speaker 6: critical for our election prospects nationally. And it feels like

1135
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 6: Florida is almost always like on you know, they're really

1136
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 6: with it.

1137
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 5: They're very high functioning.

1138
01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 6: They churn out a lot of high quality legislation, they

1139
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:36,919
Speaker 6: get it done, and it feels like with Texas.

1140
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 5: We have these problems.

1141
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 6: We're always hearing oh in the Texas legislature, they get

1142
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 6: they literally pick their speaker with Democrats support, and they

1143
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 6: put Democrats in senior committee spots. And sorry if I'm

1144
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 6: rambling a bit, I guess I just wonder. You're the

1145
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 6: third most conservative guy in the Texas House according to

1146
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,120
Speaker 6: a study by Rice. So maybe you have some thoughts

1147
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 6: on why those parties seem so different in what went

1148
01:00:58,800 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 6: wrong in Texas.

1149
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 16: See, two Democrats joined twenty one Republicans to give us

1150
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 16: the speaker of the House. So three quarters two thirds,

1151
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 16: you know, twenty yeah, two thirds two thirds Democrat, one

1152
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 16: third Republican. That coalition of Democrats runs the Texas House.

1153
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 16: So when I put fourth legislation to secure our elections,

1154
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 16: it gets killed by the Democrats. When I put forth

1155
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 16: legislation and the social transition of children, it gets killed

1156
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 16: by the Democrats. It is its evil. Tel Rico's part

1157
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 16: of that group. I served with James tell Rico from

1158
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 16: twenty nineteen through to today. This guy's as evil as

1159
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 16: they come. There is a darkness to this man's life

1160
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 16: that if you if you doubt, if you doubt that

1161
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 16: there's a wickedness and an evil into monic presence in

1162
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 16: the world, you only have to look at James tel Rico.

1163
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 2: He is an awful, awful person, awful person.

1164
01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:11,240
Speaker 4: Well, there's news on that race. By the way.

1165
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 3: President Trump has just announced that he will make an

1166
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 3: endorsement soon in Texas's GOP Senate primary, and he's asking

1167
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 3: the candidate that he does not endorse to drop out,

1168
01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 3: which is quite the quite the truth. Social He has

1169
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 3: not announced yet, but he says he will soon.

1170
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 2: Scares me.

1171
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, me too, Yes.

1172
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 2: That really scared that, Really, that really seriously scared me.

1173
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 15: Well, my hope is my hope is Steve that your

1174
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 15: race actually will you know, push the president to because

1175
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 15: I mean, your race is one of the.

1176
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:48,040
Speaker 4: Few that the White bell Weather the bell Weather race.

1177
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 15: That the White House didn't engage in. And again I

1178
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 15: appreciate that because I think it would have been awful

1179
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 15: had they endorsed Dan Crenshaw.

1180
01:02:58,080 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 4: So I think.

1181
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:00,840
Speaker 2: It's still a little lost.

1182
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 15: I mean, I agree with that. But my point is

1183
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,120
Speaker 15: I'm hoping that you know, and I would love to

1184
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 15: get your thoughts, especially after we get out of the

1185
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 15: break here is you know, maybe maybe this is a

1186
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 15: new a new day for Texas because of your race.

1187
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 5: You winning your race so decisively.

1188
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 4: What do you think about.

1189
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:20,160
Speaker 2: That eighty million dollars spent.

1190
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 16: And in the most expensive center rates in the history

1191
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 16: of the United States, eighty million dollars spent on one

1192
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 16: candidate and he could not even get fifty percent. And

1193
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 16: it tells you that America and texts this especially is

1194
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 16: done with John Cornyan and America. There is only one

1195
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 16: person that had higher unfavorables in the state of Texas.

1196
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 16: And I told this to the President. There's only one

1197
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 16: person that has highering favorables in the state of Texas

1198
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 16: and John Corny, and that was Dan Crenshaw. But it

1199
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 16: was only by one point and so yeah, I am

1200
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 16: hoping that the President considers that in in in his uh,

1201
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 16: in his endorsement, because John Cornyn is not going to

1202
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 16: be the next It's just not.

1203
01:04:11,560 --> 01:04:14,520
Speaker 2: It does not matter how much money they spend.

1204
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 16: It does not matter how many endorsements John Corny gets.

1205
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 2: He will not win well.

1206
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 3: And by the way, Cornyn will stab him in the

1207
01:04:24,920 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 3: back as soon as he is done with this election.

1208
01:04:27,240 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 3: Well he was doing that before he realized that he

1209
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 3: was in a dogfight. So then he fell in line

1210
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 3: and voting mag all the way. But guess what if

1211
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 3: he gets another six year lease on life, he's uh,

1212
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 3: he's gonna go back to his old ways. So that's

1213
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 3: a good transition here. So, Steve, your race was is

1214
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 3: a bell weather for the state. It shows that the

1215
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 3: grassroots is fed up with the establishment in Texas. A

1216
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 3: lot of what ails Us looks like we there you go.

1217
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 3: A lot of what ales Texas is this sort of

1218
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 3: bush hangover establishment Republican. We experienced this in Arizona others.

1219
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 3: But Tyler knows this better than anybody, this war between

1220
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 3: the old guard and this new wave of populous conservative energy.

1221
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 3: The early report suggests that President Trump is going to

1222
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 3: endorse cornin that's what everybody's expecting here. Your race could

1223
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 3: be the key to making sure that doesn't happen. What

1224
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:20,160
Speaker 3: is the energy of the grassroots in the state of Texas?

1225
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 3: Is it ready for this?

1226
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 2: It's yeah, it's off the charts.

1227
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 16: Ronald Reagan told us nearly fifty years ago, it's bold

1228
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 16: colors that will inspire the next generation of Americans turn

1229
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 16: out and vote. And we've seen that in Florida, right

1230
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 16: like you take a bold, a bold governor into Santus

1231
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 16: and he is inspiring a whole new generation. And look

1232
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 16: at our border, guys. Our border has turned gone from

1233
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 16: bright blue to bright red under President Trump. Why because

1234
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:57,720
Speaker 16: Hispanics as well as young people want to see bold leadership.

1235
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 16: The problem with the Bush wing the Republican parties that

1236
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 16: whenever they want elections, they took office. Meanwhile, Democrats, when

1237
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 16: they want elections, they wielded power. People want to see

1238
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 16: bold leadership. They don't want to see people like John

1239
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 16: corn that have been there, been in office for forty

1240
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 16: somehdd freaking years. It hasn't done anything. He has done

1241
01:06:20,600 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 16: nothing for the movement. He's done nothing for the conservative

1242
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 16: movement at all. He's just stood in the way of it.

1243
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 16: We need a guy like Ken Paxson that's going to

1244
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 16: go and fight, and we need the President to get

1245
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 16: behind him.

1246
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 3: Why do you think the Senate Leadership Fund and the

1247
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:40,920
Speaker 3: Establishment Republic? I mean, if you watch Fox News, it's

1248
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 3: all these senators going, we need Cornan, we need Cornan.

1249
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 4: Is this just good old boys stuff? Like they know him?

1250
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 3: I mean they've been attacking Paxton saying he couldn't win

1251
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 3: a statewide race every time he's running, Yet he keeps winning.

1252
01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 4: So what's the deal.

1253
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 2: It's just rhino's taking care.

1254
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 16: I hate using that expression, but it's just incumbent's taking

1255
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 16: care of incumbents and it's it makes me just completely sick.

1256
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 4: What do you I agree? Uh, what are you looking at?

1257
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 4: In terms of the state ag race.

1258
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 16: I think it's going to be a battle, But honestly,

1259
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 16: I hope the President does not you know, it doesn't

1260
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 16: not support Cornet. But if he does, Ken's gonna win

1261
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 16: a sixty forty maybe sixty three, thirty seven.

1262
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 3: Well what about chip Roy, the Texas Attorney General? That

1263
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 3: race chip Roy, and then we've got that's.

1264
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 16: Yeah, that's gonna that's gonna be a that's gonna be

1265
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 16: a shootout between Middleton and chip Roy. And I know

1266
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 16: I couldn't call it. I really have a hard time

1267
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 16: calling it. But here's the thing is that you're going

1268
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:47,760
Speaker 16: You're going from one in ten voters in the primary

1269
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:52,959
Speaker 16: to the general and I think you're going to see

1270
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 16: I'm sorry, is you going to the runoff?

1271
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 4: I apologize, yes, if you go into.

1272
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:58,919
Speaker 16: The runoff, you're going from one to ten to about

1273
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 16: one and twenty. And it's only the most conservative committed

1274
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 16: people that are going to turn out for runoffs, which

1275
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,880
Speaker 16: means that John Cornon is going to get blown out

1276
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 16: of the water in this race. I mean, it's not

1277
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 16: even it's not going to be close. Yeah, it doesn't

1278
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 16: matter who endorses John Cornan. John Cornon is going to

1279
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:19,880
Speaker 16: go down, and he's going to.

1280
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 2: Go down big.

1281
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 15: All of the polling shows that too, Steve, So all

1282
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 15: the polling has shown a vast majority of the individuals

1283
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 15: that voted for the third place candidate. Uh and in

1284
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 15: the sinist rate, it's in Congressman Wesley Hunt are are

1285
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 15: going towards Paxton.

1286
01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 4: That's a turnout question, though, is an interesting aspect of this.

1287
01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 15: But but but this is the point. Exactly what you're

1288
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:44,479
Speaker 15: saying is what almost everyone from Texas that follows Texas closely,

1289
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 15: is that the runoff has produced a more conservative outcome.

1290
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 15: And almost every single and every single outcome for the

1291
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:55,640
Speaker 15: past number of times that this has happened. Uh, you

1292
01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 15: see that not changing is what you're saying this election.

1293
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:00,799
Speaker 2: It's like it's it's not going to change.

1294
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 16: Although the Carl Rowe wing of the party one of

1295
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:06,760
Speaker 16: the things that they're really good at. They're going to

1296
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 16: identify tens of thousands of Democrats that did not vote

1297
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 16: in the primary, and they're going to spend millions of

1298
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 16: dollars encouraging them to turn out and vote for John Cornyn.

1299
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 16: And so, yeah, there's going to be this really freakish

1300
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:28,760
Speaker 16: coalition of moderates and Democrats that are going to try

1301
01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:31,320
Speaker 16: and turn out for him. But the problem is that

1302
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 16: is that probably thirty percent of the Republicans that voted

1303
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 16: for John Cornyn are not going to turn out for

1304
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:43,640
Speaker 16: a runoff, although the vast majority ninety plus percent of

1305
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:45,400
Speaker 16: the Conservatives will turn out for.

1306
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:49,599
Speaker 15: Ken Well, and that may be the difference maker in

1307
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:53,639
Speaker 15: this race. But you're bringing up something that is super important. Yeah,

1308
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 15: the Democrats wanted to make sure they didn't have a

1309
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:58,559
Speaker 15: runoff in the Senate race so that they could try

1310
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:02,759
Speaker 15: to influence negatively the Republican runoff. And to that point,

1311
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 15: so what.

1312
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:05,280
Speaker 3: Are the rules though, So if you're a Democrat you

1313
01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 3: can just vote in a Republican runoff?

1314
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 2: No?

1315
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:11,560
Speaker 16: Yeah, so we have opened primaries in Texas. But what

1316
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:13,600
Speaker 16: it means though, is that if you if you're a

1317
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 16: Democrat and you voted in the Democrat primary, you can't

1318
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,720
Speaker 16: you can't vote in this runoff. But if you're a

1319
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 16: Democrat and you just didn't vote the primaries for whatever reason, right,

1320
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 16: then yeah, you could you could vote.

1321
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 2: You could vote in.

1322
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 4: Our runner should that that's a rule that should be changed,

1323
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 4: My goodness.

1324
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:32,640
Speaker 2: We would love we would love to do that. We

1325
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:33,640
Speaker 2: would love to do that.

1326
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 16: We've been trying to do that, but unfortunately the Texas House,

1327
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:42,480
Speaker 16: in the Texas House, it's controlled by Democrats, and Democrats

1328
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 16: keep killing.

1329
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 3: That last question, Steve. Here, we've got forty five seconds

1330
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 3: left for you.

1331
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 4: Here.

1332
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 3: A lot of noise was made about turnout being low

1333
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,280
Speaker 3: versus Democrats. Are we concerned about that going into the

1334
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:54,600
Speaker 3: runoff in the general.

1335
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,759
Speaker 16: Well, you're going to see record low turnout in the general.

1336
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 16: It's going to be high concentration of in the runoff.

1337
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 16: I'm sorry in the in the runoff, yes, but I'm

1338
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 16: not concerned about turnout in the general.

1339
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 2: It'll be fine. We'll do great.

1340
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:12,479
Speaker 4: Okay, good Steve Toath.

1341
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 3: By the way, you're in good standing here because I

1342
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 3: did this to Representative Burchett. I kept saying, Burshett, I

1343
01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:23,679
Speaker 3: think and he he corrected me. But it's so great
