1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro

2
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: American student organization in the country, fighting for the future

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: of our republic. My call is to fight evil and

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: stop sending your kids to college. You should get married

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 1: as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: Go start at turning point you would say, college chapter.

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: Go start atturning point. Yould say high school chapter.

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: Go find out how your church can get involved.

13
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 3: Sign up and become an activist.

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 1: I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade,

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: most important decision I ever made in my life, and

16
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: I encourage you to do the same.

17
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 4: Here I am.

18
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: Lord, Use me.

19
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show

00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 3: All right, welcome to The Charlie Kirk Show. March twenty seven,

24
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 3: twenty six It was great having Molly Hemingway, Sean Davis,

25
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 3: and Megan Basham all in studio yesterday.

26
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 5: That was great. It was just move them here permanently.

27
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: I totally agree. But if you miss those episodes, check

28
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 3: them out on the podcast. Absolutely do that. We'll have

29
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: some news a little later on the podcast as well. Listen.

30
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: We have woke up this morning to a dead of

31
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: night passage of a partial DHS funding bill. This is,

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: according to Representative Keith self, good dude turning point, an

33
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: action endorsed in the dead of night, with only five

34
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: Senators present on the floor and no one there to object,

35
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 3: the Senate rushed through a DHS funding bill that deliberately

36
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: left ICE and CBP unfunded. Now they are leaving town.

37
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 3: No Save America Act, ICE, CBP unfunded. Senate Republicans just

38
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: gave the Democrats everything they wanted and more. That's coming

39
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: again from Keith self. Greg Stuby says, of course, Leader

40
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 3: Thune and the Senate Rhinos cave to Democrats who refused

41
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: to fund ICE and CBP. The American people gave us

42
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: the House, the Senate, and the White House, and we

43
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 3: still can't pass a bill to fund all of DHS,

44
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: so pretty disappointing result at last night. It's failure theater.

45
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: And by the way, there was all this talk about

46
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 3: staying through the easter recess never getting this done. No,

47
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 3: they've all left. Well, here's the only problem. House Republicans,

48
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 3: it seems like, are signaling to Senate Republicans you better

49
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: get a return ticket, better come back to DC, because

50
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 3: I don't think that they are going to fund this.

51
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: I don't think they're going to pass this bill. So

52
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: the only way that it passes, which is a possibility,

53
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: is of a bunch of Democrats get on board with it.

54
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 3: So we're going to see how this plays out. But

55
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 3: exactly my thought, failure theater. Once again, we have weak

56
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 3: leadership in the Senate. You know, I do want to

57
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 3: give some sort of grace to the good guys in

58
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: the Senate, because when you have fifty three votes that

59
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 3: may seem like a lot, it's not a lot because

60
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 3: of the darn filibuster and only takes three squishy people,

61
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 3: and it's a it's a frustration.

62
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 5: But I'm not even gonna say because of the filibuster.

63
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 5: The filibuster exists to protect the majority from votes that

64
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 5: doesn't want to take.

65
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: I agree.

66
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 5: That is why it exists, the filibuster. The primary beneficiary

67
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 5: of the filibuster are people like Mitch McConnell, people like

68
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 5: John Thune who want a ready made excuse for why

69
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 5: they haven't delivered on anything their party has run on

70
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 5: and promised in twenty years. Because we've been getting promises

71
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 5: of serious immigration reform for twenty years. We've getting promises

72
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 5: on all manner of things, election reform, all of that,

73
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 5: and then they just go, oh, well, you know, unfortunately,

74
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 5: we just can't pass this until you give us. Really,

75
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 5: we're gonna probably need like sixty four votes because you know,

76
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 5: you lose a Republican here and there. Well, we're never

77
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 5: going to get sixty four senators. It's not the nineteen thirties.

78
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I mean, you want to depress turnout for

79
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: the midterms, this is exactly how you do it. I'm

80
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 3: telling you, this is a five alarm fire for anybody

81
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: who will listen, whether that's in the ADMIN leadership, you

82
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 3: are depressing turnout. You've got Joe Rogan calling you a

83
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 3: bunch of dorks, Enthusiasm waning, you've got an Iran situation

84
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 3: where you've got reports now from axios that were preparing

85
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: potentially up to ten thousand more troops to send it

86
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 3: to the Middle East. If you are not going to

87
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 3: deliver on domestic policy promises that you ran on, that

88
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 3: people voted for you on, you are going to lose

89
00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: those voters. It is that simple. So Senate Republicans pass

90
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 3: the Save America Act. Do whatever it takes. You are

91
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 3: destroying the chances of Republicans in the midterms. You're absolutely

92
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: destroying the chances. And why not if we're going to

93
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 3: do all the work to send you to Washington to

94
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 3: get simple things done, common sense legislation done, and you

95
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: cannot find a way and all you do is raise

96
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 3: excuse after excuse, then don't be surprised when people don't

97
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 3: show up for you. Don't be surprised when the people

98
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: online that used to cheer you on and get out

99
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: the vote for you get so frustrated that they don't

100
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 3: want to do it anymore. We are at that point

101
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: where it's going to be impossible to make the case

102
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 3: for you if you don't get certain basic things done,

103
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 3: and you're leaving people like us on this show completely

104
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 3: holding the bag. So I encourage House Republicans deny, reject

105
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: this awful deal, get back to work, do whatever it takes.

106
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 3: I don't care if you can't sleep for a month

107
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 3: and a half. That's your job. And if you don't

108
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 3: do it, you're you're dooming everybody. You're doing the country,

109
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 3: You're dooming Western civilization. Because not only are the Republicans

110
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: the last bastion of anything sensible and good potentially in America,

111
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 3: the Conservative movement in the United States is the last

112
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 3: bastion of hope and freedom for the entire Western civilization.

113
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 3: The stakes could literally not be higher. I don't know,

114
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: can you make the case? Can you make the case

115
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: to send these guys back when they can't even go?

116
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 5: I mean, in general, a frustrating thing with politics is

117
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 5: you think of I like to make the comparison to

118
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 5: professional sports because it's something Americans actually care about. And

119
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 5: when you have a NFL team and it's during the season,

120
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 5: like how hard how hard is your team expected to work?

121
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 5: They're expected to practice pretty intensely, They're expected to take

122
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 5: it pretty seriously. Yeah, and if you don't, you tend

123
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 5: to like wash out on your team. And I just

124
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 5: feel like the state for the country are pretty high

125
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 5: and it would make a lot of sense to have

126
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 5: lawmakers be pretty committed to being there all the time

127
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 5: and getting things done, and if you don't want to

128
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 5: do it, we can replace you with a lawmaker who

129
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 5: will do that. And instead we just have these barnacles

130
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 5: on the American body politic. They have basically allowed Congress

131
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 5: to become this inert entity that never passes anything useful

132
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 5: and repeatedly disappoints. I think a question I'm asking and

133
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 5: everyone asking, is wait, I thought the entire justification for

134
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 5: the one big beautiful bill last summer was, oh, it

135
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 5: has this unprecedented funding for ice and border security, and

136
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 5: then actually, six months later, Democrats in the minority can

137
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 5: just kind of make you reverse tack on that. And

138
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 5: also would I would be remiss if I didn't mention

139
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 5: that a lot of the guys who are stampeding towards

140
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 5: giving the Democrats everything they want on this are also

141
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 5: the same ones who are the source of so much

142
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 5: of our other political difficulty. These they're the ones who

143
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 5: are the most avid that, oh, we need boots on

144
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 5: the ground in an we need to have maximal intervention there. Well,

145
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 5: whether that's a good idea or not, it's pretty clear

146
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 5: that's going to be politically a politically difficult sell in

147
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 5: the midterms. And so you're stacking all these things on

148
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 5: top of each other, and what do they have to offer,

149
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 5: basically just that Democrats are evil and bad, which they are,

150
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 5: but people are going to vote for them. If you

151
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 5: are not offering a good alternative.

152
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 3: If you want to depress turnout in the midterms, keep

153
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 3: doing the same thing, keep doing the exact same thing

154
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 3: that you're doing right now. Because right now I'm looking

155
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 3: at a situation where we have Chapter presidents and they're

156
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 3: tabling all over the country and they can't defend these actions.

157
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: They're getting approached by liberals that are calling out the

158
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: hypocrisy of this garbage. And guess what, there's some truth

159
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 3: to it. Make it so that we have something to

160
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 3: argue that actually holds weight. Make it so that we

161
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 3: have something to defend that actually is worth defending. Because

162
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 3: right now we're just getting failure theater. We're getting no results,

163
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: we're getting nothing that makes sense, nothing at all. So

164
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 3: go back, go to work, go back to DC, show

165
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 3: us you care. Exhaust yourself on the floor, faint in

166
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 3: the middle of the floor, in the middle of the speech,

167
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: because you've been doing it so long, I don't care.

168
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 3: Do something, do something that we can defend right now

169
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 3: is like Mike Lee and Eric Schmidt, and.

170
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 5: That's what we got.

171
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 3: So let's hit this, Blake. We're not getting our domestic

172
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: agenda passed, and on top of that, it seems like,

173
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: you know, we're marching into potential of boots on the ground. Okay,

174
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: I want to get your thoughts on this in the audience.

175
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 3: Please email us Freedom at Charliekirk dot com. Blake's gonna

176
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 3: break down what the newest news is and I want

177
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 3: to hear your thoughts Freedom at Charliekirk dot com. We

178
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: have obviously been whatever about a month then maybe a

179
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: little less. And now we've got the eighty second Airborne mobilized,

180
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 3: probably already there. We've got some marines being mobilized now.

181
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 3: Axios has a new report of up to ten thousand

182
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 3: troops being mobile one thousand additional try we want to

183
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 3: He's gonna break it down. I want to hear your thoughts.

184
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's well, it's just it's all again. This is

185
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 5: one of the toughest conflicts to cover because President Trump

186
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 5: has an unusual negotiating style, so he's constantly signaling he

187
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 5: might escalate, he might de escalate. Iran is difficult to

188
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 5: read because a lot of their leaders are dead. They're

189
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 5: often you know, running a double game.

190
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: Uh.

191
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 5: And on top of that you just have you have

192
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 5: different media operations. It's very clear, for example, that Israel

193
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 5: is more hawkish overall than President Trump is, and so

194
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 5: like they want to egg him on to extend the war,

195
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 5: escalate the war. Others are trying to. So there's all

196
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 5: sorts of maneuvers going on. And the truth is, we

197
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 5: don't know exactly what the plan is, but it does

198
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 5: seem like to be frank, we are taking steps towards

199
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 5: a course of action that we warned about the very

200
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 5: day that the first strike started, mom when it was

201
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 5: a Saturday, and we talked about it here, which is

202
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 5: at that time it was a purely aerial campaign, and

203
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 5: we said, we have to worry about whether you start

204
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 5: getting into this pattern of steady, step by step escalation

205
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 5: where they say if you send in a few of

206
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 5: these troops and take a few of these places, that's

207
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 5: going to resolve it. So now we're it's almost everyone's talking. Oh,

208
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 5: they might take carg Island, they might take these other

209
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 5: idley this.

210
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 3: Is exactly how this happens. Yes, this is you're you're

211
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: the history buff here. Do you see parallels? I'm not

212
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 3: saying there are, but let's just and I think this

213
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 3: is a completely different situation. I'm not saying what I'm

214
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 3: about to say. I'm just drawing a slight parallel Vietnam.

215
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 5: Vietnam it started with a few advisors and a few

216
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 5: and then it was eventually I think we peaked at

217
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 5: about eight hundred thousand soldiers. Yeah, and there was a

218
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 5: draft it was, yes, but this is we're not getting

219
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 5: close to that, even though to pick a more comparable one, Afghanistan.

220
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 5: Afghanistan started with no US troops involved other than a

221
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 5: handful of Special forces. They helped the Northern Alliance overthrow

222
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 5: the Taliban. It was basically airpower and a few Special

223
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 5: forces guys. And then after that happened, this was two

224
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 5: thousand and one, two thousand and two, we have that

225
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 5: George W. Bush ere at Walla. You know, we have

226
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 5: this obligation towards nation building, so we start sending a

227
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 5: few thousand soldiers where Taliban's not defeated we're training them,

228
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 5: we're building schools, and then by the time we get

229
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 5: to Obama, they're they're selling this idea, well, we need

230
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 5: a troop surge in Afghanistan and if we do a

231
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 5: troop surge, that'll be able to get in order. Yeah,

232
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 5: like we did in Iraq. And it actually worked better

233
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 5: in Iraq because it at least had a much more

234
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 5: clear objective and you know, it's a more urban society.

235
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 5: But in Afghanistan they just kind of threw money at

236
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 5: the problem, threw troops at the problem, but they didn't

237
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 5: fix the fundamental issue of how do we define are

238
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 5: what's our objective, what does victory actually look like, how

239
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 5: do we get there? It was just sort of have

240
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 5: troops there, get in fights with the Taliban and hope

241
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 5: it were out. And what we have to worry about

242
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 5: is there certainly are factions within our own government that

243
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 5: would just love to see an Iraq style conflict with Iran.

244
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 5: They might they won't say that, but they'd love to

245
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 5: see it. And what they'll sell to people is this

246
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 5: line of oh, you know, yeah, if you if you

247
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 5: send a few troops here, that's that's gonna make the

248
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 5: regime collapse. And when it doesn't, they'll you know, it's

249
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 5: it's like a Heroin dealer and they'll say, you're one.

250
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 3: Minute, so you might as well like see it all

251
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: the way through, so just do a little bit more

252
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 3: and then just oh, we're almost there. We promised, just

253
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 3: if you could add this little element here. And this

254
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 3: is why regime change in the Middle East is so fraught.

255
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: And I get it. The the they want the people

256
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 3: to rise up, they want the marching in the streets.

257
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 3: I think that was kind of one of these indicators

258
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 3: that helped lead to this escalation. And I want to

259
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 3: just get President Trump as due here. He has not

260
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 3: shown any indication through past operations to be into the

261
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 3: idea of a long drawn out quagmire. He's not that

262
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 3: kind of president. We're getting indications earlier in the week

263
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: that where there was positivity that this was going to

264
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 3: be wrapping up soon. But now we're getting indications that

265
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 3: could be ten thousand more combat troops in the Middle East.

266
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 3: And we have this report from Reuter's exclusive. Now it's Reuter's,

267
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 3: so take it with a grain of salt, but I've

268
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 3: been hearing similar things, so it's fascinating. US can only

269
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 3: confirm about a third of Iran's missile arsenal is destroyed.

270
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 3: Sources say, well, that's problematic. Now, maybe the answer to

271
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 3: that is that the military has taken out a bunch

272
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 3: of their ability to shoot said missiles. So okay, so

273
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 3: maybe that's a good thing. The point is, I've been

274
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 3: hearing similar rumors that there is stockpile leftover that you know,

275
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 3: we don't know about all of this to say, we

276
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: are creating the conditions where you got Apparently gas in

277
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 3: Los Angeles is over eight dollars a gallon. Now a

278
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 3: Los Angeles does some of this harm to themselves, But

279
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 3: what is it like five in Phoenix right now? It's

280
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 3: about five bucks?

281
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: Yep.

282
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 3: And yeah, there's places where it's higher, places where it's lower.

283
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 3: That's gonna just be a drag. If you want to

284
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 3: hear about low numbers with Hispanics, that's gonna be one

285
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 3: of them, all right. That's gonna be one of the

286
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: driving factors here.

287
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 5: A year ago, if you wanted to lay out a

288
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 5: situation for electoral disaster for the Republican Party, it would

289
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 5: include open ended, expensive war in the Middle East.

290
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 3: With few or little focus. Ostensibly, Now there is things

291
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: happening behind the scenes. We're not trying to blackpil here.

292
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 3: There's a lot of good that has been done, but

293
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 3: we're not talking about it enough because we've got a

294
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 3: war in Iran and now we might be sending ground

295
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: troops the exact thing that we sort of promised the

296
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 3: country was not gonna happen under President Trump.

297
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 5: What's so said is we actually genuinely have a lot

298
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 5: to be proud of. Domestic totally in fact, constant new stuff.

299
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 5: It's like Texas has Texas isn't giving licenses to illegals.

300
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: We just we just denaturalized a couple of criminals.

301
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 5: Denaturalizing citizens. We're sending ice agents to break up these

302
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 5: employee companies that only employ illegals. We've done great stuff

303
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 5: on the border. We're suing medical schools for fraud too much.

304
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 5: They're actually doing tons of great stuff. The focus, the

305
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 5: focus will be on that if the focus is not overseas.

306
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: Before he ever stepped behind a microphone, Charlie understood something important.

307
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 3: Leadership begins with learning. He didn't chase a diploma or

308
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 3: a title. He chased truth through Hillsdale College's free online courses.

309
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 3: He studied the great works of the Classics, the principles

Speaker 3: this guy. He's doing, like I said, amazing work. Welcome

331
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 3: to the show. Hey guys, how you doing doing great?

332
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 3: So you have been doing some investigative journalism, the real

333
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 3: stuff out in California. Why don't you set the stage

334
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 3: for us? And we've got a bunch of clips here.

335
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, this has now been going on for two weeks.

336
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 4: It's a joint investigation with multiple independent journalists including James O'Keeffe,

337
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 4: our own Savannah Hernandez, Brandon dre as well as muck

338
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 4: rackers Anthony Rubin and Cam Higbee as you mentioned, and

339
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 4: we've been essentially doing a swarm on LA's skid row.

340
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 4: This is a human dumping ground homeless drug addicts, and

341
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 4: what we've essentially uncovered is that ballot petition gatherers are

342
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 4: now paying these people on the streets for their signatures

343
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 4: for all kinds of what we believe is voter fraud.

344
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 3: So let's go ahead and play one of these clips

345
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 3: that you have provided show, just because I think it's

346
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 3: shocking when you see it. Actually play at you. And

347
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 3: this is real evidence ten.

348
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: Registering people to vote in exchange for money.

349
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 6: And I went under cover and witnessed multiple instances of

350
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 6: ballot initiative workers.

351
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 5: I want to get five bucks. I heard I can

352
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 5: get five.

353
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 6: Bucks paying cash to homeless drug addicts for their signatures,

354
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 6: a felony level crime according to California law.

355
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: Every single homeless person of skid Row that we asked

356
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: is aware.

357
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 5: That this is happening.

358
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 6: But this guy took it to another level. No, he

359
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 6: wanted us to sign these initiatives using other people's names

360
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 6: and home addresses. My name is John name, which is

361
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 6: identity fraud, another felony. When I showed hesitation, listen to

362
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 6: what he had to say.

363
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 3: Walk us through what was happening there, Jonathan Choe.

364
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 4: So, as you can tell, Cam and I were essentially

365
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 4: hanging around the corner of San Pedro and Seventh and

366
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 4: skid Row and we see a group of guys with

367
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 4: clipboards and on those clipboards are the ballot initiatives and

368
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 4: they were intentionally targeting homeless drug addicts. We walked up

369
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 4: to them and out of nowhere, they say, hey, do

370
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 4: you want to sign?

371
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 2: And you know I say sure.

372
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 4: They asked me if I'm registered to vote, because that's

373
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 4: bare minimum requirement. Clearly I say no, but it didn't matter. Instead,

374
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 4: I proceed to try and sign my actual name. I

375
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 4: say my name is John, and they're like no, no, no, no,

376
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 4: we don't want you to sign John. And then he

377
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,679
Speaker 4: asked me do you have a conscience? Essentially, do you

378
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 4: have a conscience? What was happening was that not only

379
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 4: were they having me sign this ballot initiative for money,

380
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 4: they were having me sign under someone else's name.

381
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 2: So not only are the homeless.

382
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 4: Drug addicts the victims here, there are actual victims of

383
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 4: identity fraud.

384
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 3: So then you actually interviewed, it looks like a whistleblower

385
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 3: that knows something about this nine.

386
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: How do you decide whether somebody uses their name or

387
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: somebody else's name.

388
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 7: Well, I asked some questions like want of you resila vote?

389
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 7: And if they remember some like oh, then I'm like

390
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 7: I just let them go. You know what I mean,

391
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 7: I'll let them sign, but they don't remember? Are they

392
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 7: from out of state? The game beinging guys, they'll give us,

393
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 7: they'll give us, you know, a list of names. I'm

394
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 7: not a list, but they're writing on a piece of

395
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 7: paper or whatever and I just gave it so, you know, so.

396
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 5: When they pull the people's names.

397
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 7: They get it from the registration office. They pay a

398
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 7: lot of money from the registration office.

399
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 8: Directly, like the state Yeah wow really yeah, and.

400
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 7: The restrictions office corrupt, but it's legal, so they.

401
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 5: Can just pull Is it like a voter registration or

402
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 5: d MP or something.

403
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, it's a voter registration office.

404
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 5: Oh oh, they get it right from the from thew.

405
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 3: BRO. This is crazy, like the level of organization and coordination,

406
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 3: the fact that this is so many people seem to

407
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 3: know about it. We're just now finding out, this is

408
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 3: the thing.

409
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so many things going on over there.

410
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 4: In that whistle blower interview, First of all, these bad

411
00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 4: actors are using the danger and risk of going into

412
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 4: skid row as cover. They know city and state officials

413
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 4: aren't going to go in. There's barely any law enforcement.

414
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 4: So again they've been operating with total impunity. So this

415
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 4: has not been going on for the just the last

416
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 4: two weeks. It's been going on for years, according to

417
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,959
Speaker 4: people on the ground. That whistleblower was also alleging that

418
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 4: there are Democrats involved in this along with gang bangers.

419
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 4: I'm talking about local LA gang bangers. And this is

420
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 4: where it got really murky and sensitive. He didn't want

421
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 4: to name anything, any of the actual gangs or the

422
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 4: people behind it because he was afraid for his own

423
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 4: safety in life. He took an enormous risk talking to us.

424
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 4: At the same time, he's one of the few now

425
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 4: that are starting to flip because he's had a crisis

426
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 4: of conscience because once we got the footage of all

427
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 4: of this undercover signature gathering happening, you know, cash for ballots,

428
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 4: he kind of started to realize he's in big trouble.

429
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 4: He's either going to get outed one way or the other,

430
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 4: so he might as well talk right now. So he's

431
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 4: led us, you know, a lot of evidence. We have

432
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 4: a lot of this on camera, so it's not really

433
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 4: up to local officials and state officials Governor Gavin Newsom

434
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 4: Attorney General Rob Bonta to finally take action. And they've

435
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 4: said they've started an investigation, but we don't have any

436
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 4: timelines for arrests or charges.

437
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 5: Now, well, I think that that's a pattern we've seen

438
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 5: over and over. You can produce a lot of evidence,

439
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 5: and as long as it's in the state's hands, they

440
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 5: could say, oh, it's under investigation, and then you can

441
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 5: just play it out, draw it out, and eventually nothing happens.

442
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 5: I mean, it's California. They're professionals at this. I can't

443
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 5: I'll be blunt. I can't imagine that a system that

444
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 5: organized with that many people in on it exists without

445
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 5: them having pretty high confidence no one's ever going to

446
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 5: do anything about it. It's just like the hospice fraud

447
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 5: that's happening a few miles to the north of skid Row,

448
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 5: where when you have seventy fraudulent hospices in a single building,

449
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 5: they are operating with the assumption the state knows what

450
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 5: we're doing and they don't care.

451
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, that line total impunity stands out show because it

452
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 3: just feels like the problems in this state are so huge,

453
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 3: and it's so vast, and there's so many people corrupt

454
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 3: and corrupted within the system that nobody's going to be

455
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 3: held accountable, is what it feels like.

456
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, Blake, Andrew, that's what we're concerned about.

457
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 4: This one party rule controlling every aspect of this investigation.

458
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 4: And again, this has now been going on for two weeks.

459
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 4: James O'Keefe's crew and the rest of the independent journalists.

460
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 4: We're calling ourselves the Citizen Justice League. We're gonna put

461
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 4: out a video story every single day until someone gets

462
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 4: arrested and we see charges.

463
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 2: But that's the concern right now.

464
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 4: How long is it gonna take to actually, you know,

465
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 4: bring somebody to account, even after presenting all of this evidence.

466
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 3: We got more footage here, so I want to play it.

467
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 3: This is a California Democrat lawmaker. Let me just play

468
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 3: the clip. I know who's saying it. Eleven.

469
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 6: Our team immediately notified authorities, including Governor Gavin Newsom and

470
00:24:59,119 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 6: Attorney General.

471
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 9: They do not have that authority.

472
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 6: They responded by saying this would be investigated.

473
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: These people are just continuing the cycle of harm and

474
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: suffering on these people so they can manipulate them for

475
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: political gain.

476
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that that stands out. That's it's sort of

477
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 3: been what I've been thinking this whole time, is they're

478
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 3: taking advantage of drug addicts, the mentally ill, the homeless,

479
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 3: the impoverished, the desperate, and they're just using them in

480
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 3: ponds in this sort of like you said, one party

481
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 3: rule state to further and transfer own power. So this

482
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 3: is the this is the big rub right that you're

483
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 3: asking California Democrats to investigate something that's not in their

484
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 3: best interest to snuff out.

485
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is happening. And I don't know if you

486
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 4: guys have personally been to skid Row. You guys have

487
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 4: seen the images for years and now I've been there

488
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 4: it Yeah, it's guys. Then you know it's the entire

489
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 4: area again as I refer to it as a human

490
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 4: dumping ground. It's also where all of the social service

491
00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 4: agencies nonprofits funded by taxpayers are cons traded and based.

492
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 4: So all of this is happening right there. And these

493
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 4: nonprofits what I call and refer to as Homeless Inc.

494
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 4: They allegedly are supposed to be there to take care

495
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 4: of these vulnerable men and women. But my question is

496
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 4: how have they allowed this to go on for so

497
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 4: many years now without sounding the alarm. So it's not

498
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 4: just the lawmakers here who need to be held to

499
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 4: account or law enforcement, but we've got to be asking

500
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 4: questions about the others in the area who I believe

501
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 4: are in on this grift.

502
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 5: Oh absolutely, And I think you zoom out to the

503
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 5: bigger picture. We get a lot of emails from people asking,

504
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 5: you know, can we save California? And we would love

505
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 5: it if California could be saved. But you really have

506
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 5: to appreciate kind of the scale of the atrocity that

507
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 5: they have enacted, which is to have they have a

508
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 5: blob of thousands, tens of thousands of people who are

509
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 5: basically impossible to track, which they can use as a

510
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 5: vote bank, as a fraud deposit. You know, you can

511
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 5: dump forty billion dollars in homeless funding on them and

512
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 5: it'll show no impact whatsoever. Somebody's getting that money and

513
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 5: they just have built this like perfect machine. Meanwhile, if

514
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 5: you check other headlines, I think they've stopped repaving roads

515
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 5: in Los Angeles because that was proving too expensive. You know,

516
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 5: they'll dump one hundred billion dollars in that high speed

517
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 5: rail and that's never going to get built. It's there's

518
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 5: something really dark about it, and I feel like it'll

519
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 5: never get fixed unless the federal government were able to

520
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 5: find a nice, sustained way to imprison a very large

521
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 5: number of people there. And I don't even know if

522
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 5: this admin has them.

523
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: It's like forty billion dollars, if it's like, however, many

524
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 3: billions that have been dumped into this homeless crisis and

525
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: it just persists there. It doesn't seem like there's any

526
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 3: will to actually clean it up, remove them, forcibly, off

527
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 3: the streets so that you can't be taking advantage of

528
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 3: them like this, so that they don't live in squalor.

529
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 3: Do you see any indications, Jonathan Choe, I mean a

530
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 3: way from the fraud with the ballots and the cash Forboults,

531
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 3: that people are actually being helped down there.

532
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

533
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 4: Look, the only saving grace here, quite frankly, is I

534
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 4: think we've lost all faith in California officials. But the

535
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 4: FEDS are aware, and so it was the Trump administration.

536
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 4: They've acknowledged what's happening happening here. They're aware of our investigation.

537
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 4: And I've also talked to my sources at the US

538
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 4: Department of Housing and Urban Development. They're the ones funding

539
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 4: these homeless nonprofits and they're scrutinizing again the money. Now,

540
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 4: this is all about the money trail. Once that stops

541
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 4: flowing into this area, I believe a lot of this

542
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 4: fraud could stop as well.

543
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 3: That's encouraging. Yeah, And Scott Turner is a great guy.

544
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 3: He's a fantastic man. Jonathan Choe TPOSA Frontlines. Great job.

545
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see this coalition of these journalists coming together,

546
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 3: and I know you guys have plans to do this

547
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 3: repeatedly throughout the year, So keep up the great work.

548
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: Jonathan Choe TPOSA Frontlines. Check them out on x at

549
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 3: Chow Show, which is a great great handle. Thanks Jonathan,

550
00:28:59,440 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 3: we'll talk to you soon.

551
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: Thanks for amplifying this. Guts take care.

552
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 3: If you're a parent, you don't need to be told

553
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 3: that online safety is important. That's why TikTok has over

554
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 3: fifty pre set safety and privacy settings, and beyond that,

555
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 3: parents can set up family pairing to help shape their

556
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 3: teens experience on the app. With family pairing, parents can

557
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 3: get visibility into their teens followers and who they follow,

558
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 3: help restrict content that's not right for them, and set

559
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 3: screen time limits. Parents can also set restricted times so

560
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 3: they're not on TikTok when they shouldn't be, because feeling

561
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 3: good about the time your teen spends online shouldn't come

562
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 3: with guess work. In addition to the already built in

563
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 3: safety and privacy protections, family pairing gives parents more tools

564
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 3: to shape their teens online experience based on what's right

565
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 3: for their family. Remember when safety comes first, discovery and

566
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 3: creativity can follow. Learn more by going to TikTok dot

567
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 3: com slash Guardian's Guide. There's a new clip that I

568
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 3: just saw from Marco Ruby that I want to get

569
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 3: and I see some house leadership slamming the Senate GOP

570
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 3: on that DHS video. So we're gonna get to all

571
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 3: of this, but first let's start with SOT seven and

572
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 3: I want to get into This is Joe Rogan and

573
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 3: he doesn't mince his words here, Blake st seven.

574
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 5: Oh the phrase make America great again? I don't care then, but.

575
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: To phrase sucks.

576
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 10: Here's the thing, like, first of all, America is great.

577
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 10: Make America greater. I'm down, but make America great again.

578
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 10: And then it becomes a movement of a bunch of

579
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 10: dorks because a lot of them are dorks. A lot

580
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 10: of them these really weird, uninteresting, unintelligent people that have

581
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 10: got something they cling to. And yet and there's a

582
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 10: lot of people that are just real genuine patriots and

583
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 10: they're all lumped into this one group.

584
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 3: And you got accept the dorks too, that Blake.

585
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it was always possible that would happen.

586
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 5: President Trump built a very eclectic coalition to win in

587
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 5: twenty twenty four, but it was not a coalition that

588
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 5: really existed in the past. This collision of podcast bros

589
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 5: and Crypto Bro, Crypto Bross, conventional yeah, the tech the

590
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 5: tech right, the christventional conservatives, Christian right, some people coming

591
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 5: in from racial groups that normally didn't join, and a

592
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 5: lot of them were getting on board with different problem

593
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 5: you know, for various promises that were made, and if

594
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 5: not all of those are delivered on, it's going to

595
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 5: fracture apart. And also some of us just gonna be

596
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 5: reversion to the mean. I mean, Joe Rogan was this

597
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 5: Obama bro Bernie Bro years ago. There's gonna be some

598
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 5: reversion to the mean these guys. It's a type of

599
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 5: person who very quickly gets disillusioned with people or movements.

600
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and attaches to the news, will abandon you. I mean,

601
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 3: this is this is actually a really important point and

602
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 3: we used to be like way more heightened about this.

603
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 3: By the way, it's great to have his support when

604
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 3: he has it, but he's gonna he will be like

605
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 3: he's got no affiliation, he's got no long loyalties, he's

606
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 3: got no devotion to this broader project, this broader movement,

607
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 3: and so like, on the one hand, I'm not at

608
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 3: all surprised, but I think it is important to watch

609
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 3: his evolution from you know, actually endorsing President Trump in

610
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, which he did it late, but listen,

611
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 3: he did it and was noteworthy to basically calling everybody

612
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 3: a bunch of doors. Yeah, and you know, this is

613
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 3: why I go back to our first segment. If the

614
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 3: Senate is not gonna pass common sense stuff, if they're

615
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 3: not gonna fight, they're not gonna fight as hard as

616
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 3: unpaid activists in their local communities, then listen, man, what

617
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 3: you're not giving us anything to defend this with, pass

618
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 3: the Save America Act, past uh DHS funding, or you know,

619
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 3: fight till the absolute brutal end to make sure it happens.

620
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 3: You're not giving the base anything to get up for,

621
00:32:57,320 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 3: and that's a problem. And then you pile on top

622
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 3: of every thing this war and Iran. Now there's a

623
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 3: clip from Rubio that just broke, so I want to

624
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 3: play it, and it's I think it's a good sign

625
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 3: so I want to play it here, SOOT sixteen.

626
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 11: Interesting sense of the Middle East or what role could

627
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 11: they serve other than preparing the way for potential grounds invasion.

628
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 11: And while you speak about several weeks, are you concerned

629
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 11: that this could embroil the US in the kind of

630
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 11: prolonged contract conflict? Excuse me that President Trump came to

631
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 11: office promising to avoid.

632
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 12: This is not going to be a prolonged conflict. The

633
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 12: objectives I've outlined to you again, I repeat them because

634
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 12: I see these reports is like if the users are

635
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 12: not clear on what objectives are there. We've been as

636
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 12: clear as you can possibly be from the very first

637
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 12: night of what the objectives of this mission are. We're

638
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 12: going to destroy their factories that make missiles and rockets

639
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 12: and drones.

640
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 3: We're going to destroy their navy.

641
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 5: We're going to destroy their.

642
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 12: Air force, and we are going to significantly destroy their

643
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 12: missile launchers so they can never hide behind these things

644
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 12: to get a nuclear weapon.

645
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 3: We can achieve.

646
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 12: We are achieving all those objectives.

647
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 5: We are head of schedule on most of them.

648
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 3: So he says this is not going to be a

649
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 3: prolonged conflict. I think that's promising. Yeah, I think that's promising.

650
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 3: I'll take it. And so we're holding them to that.

651
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 3: And again I want to reiterate President Trump has never

652
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 3: given us any indication from past conflicts that he's at

653
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 3: all interested in a prolonged quagmire forever war. As a

654
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 3: matter of fact, he was the original critic of the

655
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 3: way that the neocons and the Bush era conducted these

656
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 3: types of conflicts, and so like, listen, President Trump's earned

657
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 3: a lot of trust, but we've let's get this lost

658
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 3: trust can be lost. And so again we're kind of

659
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,479
Speaker 3: doing a quick wrap up of all the main stories here.

660
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 3: This is a Tom Emmer and Mike Johnson whipped Tom

661
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 3: Emmer are absolutely lambasting the Senate GOP for what they

662
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:52,760
Speaker 3: did last night STOT seventeen.

663
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 13: Well, actually, I'll start out with our speaker is very unhappy.

664
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 13: I'm not happy whole leadership group. What the Senate did

665
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 13: was frankly not right. We are going to make sure

666
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 13: that border is funded. This is about making sure that

667
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 13: President Trump's number one part promise.

668
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 5: Was that the border was going to be secure.

669
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 13: He's accomplished with Republican leadership incredible things with the southern border.

670
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 13: It has never been as tight as it is right now.

671
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 13: But we are not going to allow these radical anarchist

672
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 13: Marxist socialist Democrats to literally stop or create an open

673
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 13: border situation again like we experienced under Joe Biden and

674
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 13: Kamala Harris. And we are going to make sure that

675
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 13: we continue to deport criminal, illegal aliens.

676
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 2: This is what Americans want.

677
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 3: Well, good for the House, Jo b this is I

678
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 3: like to see them having some fight when the Senate

679
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 3: is abdicating. So that's a good sign. And let's let's

680
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 3: end this hour. Blake on a clip from Charlie and

681
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 3: I sometimes, you know, even we need to hear it

682
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 3: as well. And this is c saying kind of what

683
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 3: I'm saying. Obviously he'll say it better about how Trump

684
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 3: has earned some trust. So let's focus on this and

685
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 3: we'll get through it together. Sat. Eighteen.

686
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: As I've said once and I'll say again, President Trump

687
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 1: has beyond earned our trust on all foreign affair issues.

688
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: He took out Solemney, he took out Isis, he has

689
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 1: bombed the Hutis. President Donald Trump has been a leader

690
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 1: who is willing to use American military might where necessary,

691
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 1: but not for prolonged conflicts he's not a nation builder guy.

692
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: He's not a let's change the population sentiment guy. There's

693
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: only one nation that Donald Trump wants to build, and

694
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: that is America. He wants to rebuild this country with infrastructure,

695
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: a border, rising wages, to get rid of inflation, mass deportations.

696
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump is focused on pouring money back into America.

697
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 1: He's focused like a laser beam on that. And President

698
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,320
Speaker 1: Trump has earned our trust on all things foreign affairs.

699
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 5: He's earned our trust and we have. This is definitely

700
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 5: the biggest test of that trust. But if you can

701
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 5: successfully navigate this to a conclusion, that will be the

702
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 5: best vindication of that trust.

703
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 3: And this is, as you said, the biggest test, the

704
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 3: biggest test by far. We're not We're not trying to

705
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:30,240
Speaker 3: mislead the audience.

706
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 5: Politics is not super difficult. In the end. It is

707
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 5: deliver on your promises that you made to your voters.

708
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 3: And people and got you into office.

709
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 5: Get back, yeah, get back to what you ran on

710
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:41,799
Speaker 5: and deliver on those things, and Republicans will be in

711
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 5: a stronger position. That's the lesson of this hour.

712
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 3: Hi, folks, Andrew Colvett here, I'd like to tell you

713

Speaker 3: you thousands of dollars and you can get your life back.

724
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 3: We go to campuses all over America and we see

725
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,479
Speaker 3: student after student who's drowning in private student loan debt.

726
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 3: Many of them don't even know how much they owe.

00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 14: Thanks for having me on YEP.

733
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 3: So it's ask us Anything hour so you get to

734
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 3: be a part of the show. Send us your thoughts

735
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 3: your questions, your concerns, all of the things. But I

736
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 3: want to read an e We asked you guys for

737
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 3: your thoughts, and we got one from somebody who is

738
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 3: I think, a really thoughtful email. It says as a

739
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 3: magas voter and someone who voted for Trump three times.

740
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 3: It's very disappointing to hear troops are heading to the

741
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 3: Middle East. It's hard not to think we're headed to

742
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 3: a bush forty one lie of read my lips. My

743
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 3: husband and I have three sons, two of draft age,

744
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,240
Speaker 3: one more to be in a year. We have nephews

745
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 3: of draft age. I don't want to see one foot

746
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 3: of an American soldier on their soil. It breaks my

747
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 3: heart to see families already having to welcome home their

748
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 3: dead soldier in a flag draped casket. No Americans should

749
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 3: be dying. Trump is losing support on this. We in

750
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 3: the lower middle class have never yet felt the relief

751
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 3: that he brags about time after time. Low info voters

752
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 3: will remember this in November. Trump needs to come down

753
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 3: with a hammer on all the weak rhinos USOL companies

754
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 3: price gouging us. He needs to take this as seriously

755
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 3: as he did the border or he'll lose the Republican Party.

756
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 5: I saw a great post on x that just said,

757
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 5: there's policies, there are policies you can do that will

758
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 5: have a damaging effect on the economy, And the obvious

759
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 5: one you could have done was real mass deportations would

760
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 5: hurt the economy. We've seen a ton ofitiances in the

761
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 5: short ren, of course, a ton of businesses have gotten

762
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 5: so addicted to illegal labor, low wage immigrant labor that

763
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 5: it is massively disruptive to pluck those people out from them,

764
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 5: and it would take them a while to adapt. That

765
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 5: would have an economic consequence, but the long term benefit

766
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 5: would be great, and I think a lot of people

767
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 5: are frustrated that we might get a similar level of

768
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:41,560
Speaker 5: economic disruption, maybe more from a conflict that he didn't

769
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 5: run on fighting, and no one was particularly excited for

770
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,720
Speaker 5: him to fight, and that even right after it begins,

771
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 5: you're stuck trying to win people over to it rather

772
00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 5: than getting the usual rally around the flag effect. Every

773
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 5: other war we've fought in my lifetime, certainly Iraq, Afghanistan,

774
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 5: you know the involvements we had in Yugoslavia, and then

775
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 5: even fire wars going way further back, you know, yeah,

776
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 5: Venezuela similar going way through the back Vietnam, Korea, World

777
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 5: War two, World War one. Every war starts with a

778
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 5: big surge of popular enthusiasm, their patriotic rally behind the flag.

779
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 5: Our country's been wrong, let's go win, and then if

780
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 5: it's going badly, it depletes from there, or you just win.

781
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 5: And you know that.

782
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 3: Never saw this in Ukraine camp when we started funding Ukraine.

783
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, Ukraine started off with I think ninety two percent

784
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 5: support for US backing them, and then it declined from there.

785
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 5: Charlie was very lonely in thinking it was a bad

786
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 5: idea to get involved. But now it's a much more

787
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 5: fifty to fifty issue. This is a rare conflict where

788
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 5: it's starting as maybe fifty to fifty, probably less, and

789
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 5: the only way you come in people over is to

790
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,399
Speaker 5: win it quickly, improve that it was a good idea

791
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 5: and not expensive correct. If it drags on, it's going

792
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 5: to be a very big anchor around the administration. And

793
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 5: we don't say that to be black pillars, we don't

794
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 5: say that to be doomers. We say that because.

795
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 3: We care about the care about success.

796
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 5: We want to win, and there are people who are

797
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:12,879
Speaker 5: going to just sell this sakkarai you know narrative. Everything's great,

798
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 5: don't worry about it all, all the polls, their lives.

799
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 5: That is why we talk to young people. That is

800
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 5: why we ask for the emails.

801
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 3: You know. The probably the thing in this email that

802
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 3: you should be most concerned about is this line. We

803
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 3: in the lower middle class have never felt yet, the

804
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 3: relief he brags about time after time. And to Blake's point,

805
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 3: if you were going to take a big shot, if

806
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 3: you were going to do something bold that you knew

807
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 3: was going to be disruptive, why couldn't it have been

808
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 3: just massively going after illegal aliens that are employed right

809
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 3: by the way. This is what's so interesting about the

810
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 3: Caesar Shaves stuff. We talked about this, I think on

811
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 3: thought crime. You know, he's lifted up as this you know,

812
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 3: left wing hero. The truth is Caesar Chavez, well, not

813
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 3: beyond being a pedophile and a rapist, which are obviously

814
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 3: there are new revelations, but he would go through the

815
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 3: state of California and his goons would literally beat up

816
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 3: illegal immigrants. You know why, because he thought that they

817
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 3: lowered the wages of his union workers. They lowered the

818
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 3: wages of American workers. So you know that was a

819
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 3: disruptive thing. We've known that business interests want their cheap labor. Well,

820
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 3: too bad, you can't have it anymore. Too bad, that's

821
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 3: going to be disruptive for the economy. Too bad, that's

822
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,319
Speaker 3: going to be disruptive for your business. The long term

823
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 3: benefit outweighs the cost. The American people voted for that

824
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 3: kind of thing. So if you're going to take a

825
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 3: big swing, do it on the thing that's actually popular.

826
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 3: Do it on the thing that we could defend.

827
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that we just again we say this, Danny,

828
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 5: you're the youngest one here. You talked to young people

829
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 5: the most.

830
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 3: Do you talk to our chapters.

831
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 14: Yeah, I'm telling you guys right now to all like

832
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 14: the boomers out there.

833
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 3: Just boomers like it. Yeah, well, disrespect.

834
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 14: It's just the biggest disconnect is what the thing is.

835
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 14: They aren't there's full at different ends of the spectrum

836
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 14: right now, especially on the war, and there's a there's

837
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,479
Speaker 14: a storm coming where they're just not going to vote.

838
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 14: They feel like no matter what parties evolved, it doesn't matter.

839
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 5: We want to be clear, there's a difference here. This

840
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 5: does not mean that the war itself is bad. It

841
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 5: does not mean that the war itself is unjustified. But

842
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 5: what we are warning is, regardless of whether the war

843
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 5: is justified or not, whether it's a good idea or not,

844
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 5: whether it's necessary or not, the war with the people

845
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 5: who took President Trump over the hump in twenty four

846
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 5: it is unpopular with those marginal new members of the

847
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 5: Trump coalition and a lot of them are leaving the

848
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 5: coalition over that, are feeling discouraged over that, and we

849
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,720
Speaker 5: have to recognize that or we're going to walk into

850
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 5: a political disaster. You have to approach all political questions

851
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 5: with clear eyes like that. It's something Charlie always emphasized

852
00:44:58,960 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 5: and was very good at.

853
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 3: Well here here's where it really becomes a red flag

854
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 3: for me. And I know we haven't taken any college yet,

855
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 3: and I'm sorry this email I thought was really thoughtful.

856
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 3: Our chapter leaders, we had Gabe say on from Wyoming

857
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 3: and he said something that I have not stopped thinking

858
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 3: about since he came on the show. And he said,

859
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 3: when we're tabling, whether we're getting confronted from other conservatives

860
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 3: or Libs on campus about these items, they can't defend them,

861
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 3: and we are left in a position of we are

862
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:38,280
Speaker 3: in limbo. I listen, we love President Trump. President Trump

863
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 3: has done a great job on many fronts. He started

864
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:46,880
Speaker 3: this rebellion against foreign adventurism. He gets all the credit

865
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 3: in the world for that. He's not gotten us into

866
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 3: forever wars and quagmires, and so we're basically left in

867
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 3: a position where we're just trusting that that's going to

868
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 3: be the case here too, while also acknowledging Iran is

869
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 3: the biggest challenge yet, the ground troops is going to

870
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 3: be the biggest challenge yet. If those end up happening,

871
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 3: I don't know how to defend that because we didn't

872
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 3: run on it. I don't have a defense for it.

873
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 3: I don't know what to tell our kids at these

874
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 3: chapters that are left to sort of make excuses for

875
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 3: a policy action that nobody voted for. So you got

876
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 3: to give us something, That's all I'm saying. And to

877
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 3: Danny's point, Danny's your young twenties. He's talking to a

878
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,479
Speaker 3: lot of these kids and they don't know what to say.

879
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 3: So when you have that type of dynamic emerging, give

880
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 3: us something, explain something, have Jade Vance go out on

881
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 3: the podcast tour and defend this. Have Marco Rubio go

882
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 3: on the podcast tour and defend this. Explain what's going

883
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 3: on here, because we're just all left to kind of

884
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 3: hope and pray. I mean, Danny, am I misrepresenting this?

885
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 14: No, No, not at all. They're just they're struggling to

886
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 14: back any of what's going on right now, and they're

887
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 14: looking for an answer and right now they're not being

888
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 14: given in anything.

889
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 5: So something needs to change.

890
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 3: So we do this out of love because we want

891
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 3: to see the coalition healthy. We want to see people

892
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 3: be able to defend what the administration is doing, and

893
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 3: we want to be successful in the midterms. Democrats are unacceptable.

894
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 3: That has not even changed. I saw that from Megan Kelly.

895
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 3: She's been a very big, loud critic. She was even saying,

896
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 3: you gotta vote Republican. There's no other option. But God,

897
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 3: Lee man, you know, give us something. Fight for the

898
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 3: save America. Elizabeth, please unmute yourself and welcome to the

899
00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk Show. Thanks for being a member.

900
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 15: H n Hi Angie, Hi Blake, Hi Danny.

901
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: How are you today?

902
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 3: Happening great? How are you?

903
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 5: I'm well thank you.

904
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 15: So I had an idea that I would hope would

905
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,280
Speaker 15: bring the youth vote back and also get us everything

906
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 15: that we want with student loans. I didn't realize, like

907
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 15: the interest goes on forever, and like you can make payments,

908
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 15: it does only affect a balance. So I thought, if

909
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 15: Congress passed a bill where, for example, you took out

910
00:47:55,880 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 15: one hundred thousand dollars in loans, after you've paid one

911
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 15: hundred and twenty thousand dollars back, you're paid off, done,

912
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 15: and they can make it retroactive. So it's not student

913
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 15: loan forgiveness. It's just that you never have to pay

914
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 15: back more than twenty percent of what you've actually borrowed.

915
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 15: And we tie this to everything we've ever wanted, immigration reform,

916
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 15: border funding, ice funding, all of those executive orders from

917
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 15: President Trump all tied into this one option of we

918
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,319
Speaker 15: restructure the financing and make it retroactive for student loans.

919
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: And also it.

920
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 15: Would bring in a youthful I would think, and also

921
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 15: it would help with like failm information and buying homes.

922
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 15: What do you guys think of that?

923
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 5: Go ahead, Blake, Well, so some of this does at

924
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 5: least exist for some cases. I don't know exactly what

925
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 5: cases it exist for, but there is, for example, the

926
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 5: pay as you earn plan for federal student loans. I

927
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 5: think that's twenty years of on time payments and it's

928
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 5: like ten percent of your discretionary income, which that means

929
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 5: it excludes taxes and certain other things. Help and yeah,

930
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 5: and if you pay in consistently over that for twenty years,

931
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,160
Speaker 5: you can get loans forgiven. So some of that does exist.

932
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,879
Speaker 5: I do agree with you. I would say your specific deal.

933
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,760
Speaker 5: The thing I would run into is you'd still probably

934
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 5: need Democrats on board with it. And Democrats, okay, they'll

935
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 5: just never embrace immigration reform. They are, they're truly religiously fanatical.

936
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 5: But I do foreign criminals should come into But I.

937
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 3: Do love what you're thinking about here, Elizabeth, because you're

938
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 3: you're saying, what is the bone that we can throw

939
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 3: to the Democrats get everything we want, they get something

940
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 3: ostensibly that they want, and therefore, if they're gonna if

941
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 3: they're gonna reject it, if they're gonna block it, then

942
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 3: they have to go on record blocking something that young

943
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 3: people really like. I love the creativity and I'm gonna

944
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 3: think about it more. But to Blake's point. I don't

945
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 3: know that this is the silver bullet that that that

946
00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 3: we need, but it's it's creative and I like so

947
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 3: I like the strategy, and maybe there's a way to

948
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 3: work something like this where they get something that they want,

949
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 3: we get to claim credit for it, and we get

950
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:00,439
Speaker 3: a lot of the will.

951
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 5: The big strategic picture to acknowledge, which you are correct

952
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 5: to see, is that student loans are a huge problem

953
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 5: in America. Just the number of people who are on them,

954
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 5: the scale of them. They're big problem in America, and

955
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:15,800
Speaker 5: they are a wedge that the left uses to bring

956
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 5: in young people. That young people take on a ton

957
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 5: of debt to go to school, and it's a very

958
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 5: imposing thing, and it makes them very sympathetic towards this

959
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 5: socialism socialist nonsense that gets fed to them by huckster

960
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 5: candidates like Zora Memdanni AOC and so on, And we

961
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 5: want to find ways to break that hold. The other

962
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 5: reason we'd want to break the student loan cartel, if

963
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 5: you will, is this is what a big part of

964
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 5: what's enriching colleges, which are basically left wing organizations. It's

965
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 5: their giant reserve of jobs for left wingers, spending for

966
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 5: left wingers, institutional power for the left, And so we

967
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 5: do want to find a way to change the way

968
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 5: student loans work.

969
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 3: And well, the federal government broke student loans when they

970
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 3: got involved in them, right, So we work with y

971
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 3: REFI that handles private student loans.

972
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 2: Well.

973
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 3: A lot of the loans are now federal, right, which

974
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 3: the college cabal took as a blank check to just

975
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 3: keep inflating tuition prices, building fancy buildings every adms.

976
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 5: Every year they would hike the max for how much

977
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 5: you could take on. And the Trump administration one of

978
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 5: the accomplishments they've done quietly is they've stopped automatically increasing

979
00:51:24,560 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 5: how much and loans you can take out and lo

980
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 5: and behold, a bunch of schools are no longer hiking

981
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 5: their tuition automatically because it was.

982
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 3: A blank check. It was a blank check for the

983
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 3: college cabal. And guess what we're doing when we do that,

984
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 3: You're empowering the very institutions that hate you and that

985
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 3: are undermining the country. So we need to stop doing that.

986
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 3: But I think in general, private student loans make a

987
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 3: whole lot more sense than federal and I'll explain why

988
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 3: private student loans. If you're a private entity, you have

989
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 3: actual skin in the game that you have to make

990
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 3: sure you get your money back, because why give a

991
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 3: loan out if you're not going to get paid back.

992
00:51:57,920 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 3: That's the whole point of a loan, as you make

993
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 3: it back with interest and you make a profit on it.

994
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 3: If you are giving loans out for somebody that is

995
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 3: not a good candidate to have a loan that they're

996
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 3: not going to make that money back, they're not going

997
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 3: to be able to repay you, then you're not going

998
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,760
Speaker 3: to give that loan out. That would have a forcing

999
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 3: function effect across the college cabal to make sure that

1000
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:21,320
Speaker 3: their degrees are worth it, that students are actually getting

1001
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 3: jobs on the other side of their degree process, that

1002
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 3: they get into a marketplace and they can actually make money,

1003
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,320
Speaker 3: and it would sort of weed out the terrible degrees

1004
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 3: only the people with rich parents could afford the underwater

1005
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:33,479
Speaker 3: basket agall.

1006
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 5: I think in general, what a big problem, a big

1007
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 5: source of problems for student loans is that they are

1008
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 5: basically anyone can claim an entitlement to them, whether they're

1009
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 5: studying anything useful, whether they are likely to be able

1010
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 5: to pay them off whether the school they are going

1011
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 5: to is particularly good. Basically, we have some standards for

1012
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 5: for profit institutions, but for nonprofit institutions there's very little

1013
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 5: expectation that a program be worth it. And you've been

1014
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 5: thinking about it the whole but no, sorry, it's just

1015
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 5: so the whole thing is built. Who is the biggest beneficiary.

1016
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 5: The permanent beneficiary is always the colleges. It's always their administrators,

1017
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 5: their staff. The primary beneficiary is not aimed at being students.

1018
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 5: And I think big reforms you'd want. Yeah, some of

1019
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 5: that could be a pack on how much you have

1020
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 5: a cap on how much you have to repay. But

1021
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 5: the best reforms of all are we shouldn't give student

1022
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 5: loans unless there is a reasonable expectation this loan will

1023
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,879
Speaker 5: be worth it. And the other reform i'm a big

1024
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 5: fan of is we should shift towards a system where

1025
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 5: colleges are on the hook if a person who attends

1026
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 5: them on loans is unable to repay it. Make a

1027
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 5: college effectively whatever word you want to use, but make

1028
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 5: them cost sign alone, make them co sign the loan,

1029
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 5: and yes that student is the first person to repay.

1030
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,800
Speaker 5: Love this idea, but if they don't, the college is repay.

1031
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 14: Oh.

1032
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 3: I love this idea because it will also help with admissions.

1033
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 3: They're not going to start keep admitting people that they

1034
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 3: don't have a strong belief that that person is a

1035
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 3: good candidate for a degree, that they are qualified, that

1036
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:03,360
Speaker 3: they are smart enough to get a good job that

1037
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:05,760
Speaker 3: can actually pay that loan back. Right now, they're getting

1038
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 3: all mixed up in this ideology. Well guess what ideology

1039
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 3: throat gets thrown out the window when dollars and cents

1040
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 3: start not adding up. So I love that. And by

1041
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,800
Speaker 3: the way, the whole reason the federal government got involved

1042
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 3: in the student loan process is because you could make

1043
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 3: an argument that this was good for the country, like

1044
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 3: we are doing a public good by ensuring more and

1045
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 3: more young people get college degrees. Well, I'm not so

1046
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 3: sure that it is in the public interest to get

1047
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,319
Speaker 3: more and more people educated beyond their intelligence, or to

1048
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 3: get degrees that don't mean anything, that don't train them

1049
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 3: for anything. So the whole system needs reform because it's

1050
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 3: broken and it's actually ending up in results that don't

1051
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 3: help the country. And so I love that co signing idea.

1052
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 3: I think we should push that hard I don't know

1053
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 3: if young people will get the memo, but you know,

1054
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:52,520
Speaker 3: I just remember when I was coming A lot of

1055
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 3: this came up when I was coming of age, because

1056
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:57,320
Speaker 3: you know, they're like, well, Europeans they get a free education.

1057
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 5: And they all spend sitting in school for forty years

1058
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 5: and they we have a youth unemployment rate of twenty

1059
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 5: five percent, and they're stagnant, and they're still importing infinity

1060
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 5: immigrants from abroad to replace them.

1061
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:08,800
Speaker 3: So let's not be like Europe.

1062
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 5: Let's not be like Europe.

1063
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, no one wants to be like that mirage has

1064
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 3: been successfully.

1065
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 5: If the mirage has not been dispelled, go to East London.

1066
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 3: Yep, Elizabeth, thank you for calling in. Hopefully we got

1067
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 3: to your question. I love the way you're thinking. It's strategic,

1068
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,959
Speaker 3: get them a bone and we get everything we want.

1069
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 3: And uh so I'm going to think on that more.

1070
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 3: You know, we spend a lot of time on this

1071
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 3: show talking about culture, about why strong families matter, why

1072
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 3: values matter, why faith matters. But here's something practical. If

1073
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 3: you actually want to build a strong family someday, you

1074
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 3: have to start by meeting someone who shares those same

1075
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 3: values and convictions. And in today's culture, that's not always easy.

1076
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 3: A lot of apps are built around casual connections, instant gratification,

1077
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 3: no long term vision, and that's just not what many

1078
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:02,120

1081
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 3: marriage and family. You're starting from common ground instead of

1082
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,439
Speaker 3: trying to negotiate your core beliefs three months later into

1083
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 3: the relationship. That kind of clarity really matters if faith

1084
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 3: is central to your life, or even if it's something

1085
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,239
Speaker 3: that shaped how you were raised and how you see

Speaker 3: the world. Upward connects you with people who take that seriously.

1092
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:48,400
Speaker 5: Mary asks what advice would you give young adults struggling

1093
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,359
Speaker 5: to find the point of continuing to advocate and fight

1094
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 5: for what's right. I am in the middle of a

1095
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 5: massive legal battle with the third largest healthcare group and

1096
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 5: medical school in my home state. I guess, so that's

1097
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 5: kind of a big picture question. Unfortunately we can't get

1098
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 5: the details on that suit, but I do think the

1099
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 5: bigger question, how do you find the motivation to keep

1100
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 5: fighting when stuff is tough? Is the thing A lot

1101
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 5: of people are asking. That was a big theme of

1102
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 5: our first hour. And maybe we can get that clip

1103
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 5: from Charlie because I know we've aired it before. But

1104
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 5: as Charlie would say, guys, we don't fight because we

1105
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 5: are likely to win. Hopefully we'll win. But the reason

1106
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 5: you fight is because it's the right thing to do.

1107
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 5: You fight for your country because it is the right

1108
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 5: thing to do, and you have to do that, even

1109
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:34,720
Speaker 5: if you know it's doomed, even if you know it

1110
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:36,680
Speaker 5: will fail. You have to fight for the right thing.

1111
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you think back to like Churchill and

1112
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 3: World War Two and the blitz and how he rallied

1113
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 3: the troops. I don't know we should pull that. We

1114
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 3: should pull that famous Churchill clip because I think it's inspiring.

1115
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 3: And I would also say that deeper than that, you know,

1116
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 3: what is it profit a man to gain the whole

1117
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 3: world but to lose his soul? And I was speaking

1118
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 3: with some folks at the Federalists. It's why Molly Hemingway

1119
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 3: and Sean were in town yesterday, and you know, I

1120
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 3: talked about Somebody asked a question, what's gonna make the

1121
00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 3: country good? Do we need revival before the country can

1122
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 3: be restored folly? And I would say yes. Ultimately, we

1123
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 3: fight because our faith compels us to, because our value

1124
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 3: set compels us to. As Blake was saying, and what

1125
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 3: Charlie was saying, is that you fight because it's the

1126
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 3: right thing to do. Well, how do you know what

1127
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 3: the right thing to do is? Well, you lean on

1128
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 3: your faith, you lean on scripture, you lean on the

1129
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 3: eternal things, the good, the true, the beautiful, And I

1130
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 3: think without an anchoring in the eternal, without an anchoring

1131
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 3: in what God wants for this world, you know, we pray.

1132
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 3: The one prayer that Jesus taught us to pray was

1133
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 3: you know, the our Father, right, may your Kingdom come.

1134
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 3: So we fight because we're trying to make earth more

1135
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 3: like Heaven. And so ultimately, how do you make that

1136
00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 3: happen without providence and without us participating in some grand

1137
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 3: design from the Lord. So I think the faith element

1138
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 3: is what keeps me going it keeps me going in

1139
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 3: all this after Charlie. We lost Charlie. So to me,

1140
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 3: that's you can't get through that question without that core element.

1141
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 14: What do you think, Danny, Yeah, I think just giving

1142
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,560
Speaker 14: up In generals never they answer it's cringe for anything.

1143
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:18,560
Speaker 5: No, it's lame. So latters are lame.

1144
00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:20,520
Speaker 14: Yeah, So why would you ever give up? Why would

1145
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:24,479
Speaker 14: you ever just stop fighting? I's to that believe in something,

1146
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 14: you might as well just keep going.

1147
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 5: Romo's twelve twelve says rejoice and hope, endure an affliction,

1148
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 5: persevere in prayer. I'm sure there's probably some modern casual

1149
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 5: translation of the Bible that just says no quitting.

1150
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 3: The message. Yeah, exactly. Actually, I'm going to look up

1151
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 3: what the message says you should. But I mean, I

1152
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 3: think that's well said, Danny. Like quitting is like for losers,

1153
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it's quitting it. Oh what is the

1154
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 3: message saying?

1155
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 5: Don't burn out, keep yourself fueled in the flame, be

1156
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 5: inert servants of the master, cheerfully expectant, don't quit in

1157
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 5: hard times, pray all the harder, help needy Christians, be

1158
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 5: inventive in hospitality. I think they merged twelve and thirteen

1159
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 5: there because the message gets very blurry with its verses.

1160
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 5: But nevertheless, even if it's in a bad Bible translation,

1161
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 5: the Bible is very clear. You endure, and if you

1162
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 5: think it's tough, if you think it's tough, now, because

1163
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 5: we lose legal challenges, we lose elections, we lose economic growth.

1164
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,919
Speaker 5: Remember there are Christians who lost their lives. They got

1165
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:31,439
Speaker 5: eaten by lions in the Colosseum, they got crucified by

1166
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 5: Roman officials, by pagans, by the Japanese. There have been

1167
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 5: martyrs all around the world. People have had to suffer

1168
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 5: far more than any of us, save Charlie, of course,

1169
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 5: will likely ever suffer for our faiths, for our values.

1170
01:00:48,200 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 3: I've got a good verse for this. Since you brought

1171
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 3: up the Bible verse Isaiah forty through thirty one, I'll

1172
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 3: read the ESV. Even youths shall faint and be weary,

1173
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 3: and young men she'll fall exhausted. But they who wait

1174
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 3: for the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount

1175
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 3: up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not

1176
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 3: be weary. They shall walk and not faint. So the

1177
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 3: key there is those who wait for the Lord. She'll

1178
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 3: renew their strength and in a lot of ways this

1179
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:23,880
Speaker 3: whole season that we're living through on the show, we're

1180
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 3: living through a TPSA, what we're living through when it

1181
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 3: comes to Iran, when we're living through the economic promises

1182
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 3: and all of this affordability stuff that we talk about.

1183
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 3: What you're living through, Mary, with your lawsuit, with this

1184
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 3: healthcare sometimes you got to wait on the Lord, and

1185
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 3: it's the waiting could be the hardest part.

1186
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 5: That was a great question for Mary. I think we

1187
01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 5: have Christine next. We'll question and we were told she left,

1188
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,600
Speaker 5: but we still want to get to so Christine's subscriber question.

1189
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 5: Andrew and Blake, you've said women want the marriage benefits,

1190
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 5: but not the authority. I assume of the husband. As

1191
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 5: a Christian wife, my husband has the final view on finances, safety, future,

1192
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 5: and spiritual leadership. And it works great. But as a counselor,

1193
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 5: I see far too many men who turn submission into domination.

1194
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 5: What's your personal take on male authority and marriage? Should

1195
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:18,480
Speaker 5: this start in dating? And how does this help TPUSA

1196
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:21,440
Speaker 5: students on campus. You've got to take the lead on

1197
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:22,120
Speaker 5: that one, Andrew.

1198
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 3: All right, so yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna pull up

1199
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 3: this Bible verse here because it's it's it's important. This

1200
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 3: comes from Ephesians five. Okay, so let's just read the

1201
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 3: scripture here. Then submit to one another out of reverence

1202
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 3: for Christ. So that's the first point. It's not domination.

1203
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 3: It's submit to one another. Wives, submit to your own

1204
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 3: husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband

1205
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,160
Speaker 3: is the head and the wife, as Christ is the

1206
01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 3: head of the Church, his body, of which he is

1207
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,080
Speaker 3: the savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so

1208
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 3: also wives should submit to their husbands and everything. Here's

1209
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 3: the key, though, because you could stop there and it

1210
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 3: ends in a domination. Husbands, love your wives just as

1211
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 3: Christ loved the Church. And here's the key, and gave

1212
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 3: himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her

1213
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 3: by the washing with water through the word, and to

1214
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 3: present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain

1215
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 3: or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

1216
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 3: In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives

1217
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 3: as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

1218
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 3: After all, no one ever hated their own body. But

1219
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 3: they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does.

1220
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 3: The Church for we are members of his body. For

1221
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 3: this reason, a man will leave his father and mother

1222
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 3: and be united to his wife, and the two will

1223
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 3: become one flesh. Paul says, this is a profound mystery.

1224
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 3: So the point here is, yes, there is a divine

1225
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 3: order of things. There is a way that God set

1226
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 3: things up that a wife should come under the headship

1227
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 3: of her husband. That's what it says in the scripture.

1228
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 3: You get don't get mad at me. This is is

1229
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 3: what it says in the word. But the exchange is

1230
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 3: a profound mystery because the husband will then sacrifice himself,

1231
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 3: his own wants, his needs, his desires to serve his wife,

1232
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 3: to serve his family, to make his wife radiant and

1233
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 3: holy and good. That's the key. And when a wife

1234
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:26,920
Speaker 3: trusts the good intentions, the good faith intentions of her husband,

1235
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 3: that he is doing everything in his leadership power and

1236
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 3: his authority power and his headship power to serve his

1237
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 3: wife to make her holy and radiant, then a beautiful

1238
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 3: mystery happens and the wife will not fight the husband,

1239
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 3: the husband will not domineer over the wife. They become one.

1240
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,800
Speaker 3: And so that's the key that a lot of people

1241
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 3: take to submit to your husband's line and they subtract

1242
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 3: the next next portion of that. But it's a great

1243
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:55,080
Speaker 3: burden upon men. It's a beautiful servant relationship that you

1244
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 3: serve your wife, and I think when you do that,

1245
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 3: when there's trust, a lot of that animosity goes out

1246
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 3: the window. Like in my marriage, we don't even think

1247
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 3: about this stuff, like in a conscious level. We understand

1248
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 3: the principles of scripture and we try and honor that

1249
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 3: in our marriage. But it's not like we're going around

1250
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 3: all the time being like, submit to me, woman, I

1251
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 3: am the head. No, that's not at all how it works.

1252
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, my wife has amazing intuition

1253
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 3: and discernment, and I rely on her to help avoid pitfalls,

1254
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 3: to avoid mistakes, and I trust her judgment on these things.

1255
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 3: So it's very much a partnership. I don't know if

1256
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 3: you guys have any thoughts on this, maybe maybe maybe

1257
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 3: from the gen Z dating perspective, Dan, I mean.

1258
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 5: I don't you go for like you can start Well,

1259
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 5: I was saying, I don't. I don't like to do

1260
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 5: big opinions on this. I'm not married. It's sort of

1261
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 5: silly for you know, I know, I have many friends

1262
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 5: who are married, some friends who are divorced. That's what

1263
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 5: happens when you age. You see the which ones make

1264
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 5: it and which don't. But I think instead what I

1265
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:56,560
Speaker 5: had turned to, I think a very good perspective on

1266
01:05:56,640 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 5: marriage was actually offered by Erica Charlie's memorial. She very

1267
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 5: much wanted to talk about Charlie's attitude towards marriage, that

1268
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 5: his goal when he wanted to save young people wasn't

1269
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:13,280
Speaker 5: just a religious relival. He cared a lot about reviving

1270
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 5: the American family. She said, if Charlie had entered politics,

1271
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 5: his number one priority would be a revival of the family.

1272
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 5: And so she talks about what an ideal marriage looks like.

1273
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 5: She used her own marriage with Charlie as an example.

1274
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 5: We all saw it. It was a very good marriage,

1275
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 5: and it did involve that excellent, strong leadership from Charlie.

1276
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 5: Definitely submission from Erica, but in that positive way. That

1277
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 5: your wife is your helpmate, she is not your slave.

1278
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 5: I think that is what she said.

1279
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 3: And we have some ck clips excellent we.

1280
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 5: Should play that. I think we'll play that before the

1281
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 5: segment is out. But that's it's one of those things

1282
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 5: where if you're going into it with the right attitude,

1283
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 5: certainly with an attitude of faith, for one, it shouldn't

1284
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 5: be that difficult, because it's almost like you should practically

1285
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:04,520
Speaker 5: be competing with each other to see who can serve

1286
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 5: the other one better. Like the wife is really going

1287
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 5: on out to show how much she can submit, which

1288
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 5: is how much of a great helpmate she can be

1289
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 5: to her husband, while the husband is going all out

1290
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 5: to show what an amazing provider he is for the spouse,

1291
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:23,920
Speaker 5: an amazing servant leadership. And if they're basically competing with

1292
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 5: each other on that front, I don't see how the

1293
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 5: marriage can really go badly. And it's when you start

1294
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 5: turning marriage into a rivalry, when you start turning it

1295
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 5: into a power struggle, of course, it's going to end

1296
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 5: up being toxic.

1297
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 3: And distrust runs a muck and so many other bad things.

1298
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 3: Let's hear Charlie's words on this UT nineteen.

1299
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 1: This is something that I hope will make Taylor Swift

1300
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 1: more conservative, engage in reality more, and get outside of

1301
01:07:55,040 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 1: the abstract clouds. Reject feminism, submit to your husband, Taylor,

1302
01:08:00,560 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 1: You're not in charge, And most importantly, I can't wait

1303
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 1: to go to a Taylor Kelsey cuff concert. I can't

1304
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 1: say it without laughing. You gotta change your name. If not,

1305
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 1: you don't really mean it. Congratulations, Taylor, I forgot about that.

1306
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:23,120
Speaker 5: That great That was so excellent. It was so right on,

1307
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 5: by the way, you know, speaking of did you know

1308
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:31,120
Speaker 5: the guy who plays Jacob from those Twilight movies Taylor Loutner.

1309
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 5: He married someone also named Taylor, and she did change

1310
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 5: her last name, So they're both Taylor Loutner and I

1311
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:37,760
Speaker 5: guess they're having a baby, and they've hinted they're going

1312
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:39,559
Speaker 5: to name the baby Taylor as well, so it'll be

1313
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 5: Taylor Louder and Taylor Loutner with their baby Taylor Loudner.

1314
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 3: That's a terrible idea. SAT twenty more from ck on this.

1315
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 8: Hello, TikTok, today's a very special day. It is our

1316
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 8: four year anniversary.

1317
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 3: Four years.

1318
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:54,640
Speaker 8: What's your piece of advice after four years for all

1319
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 8: the TikTok people, Oh, my goodness, love your husband well

1320
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 8: and get married. Just get off your couch, stop watching

1321
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:06,639
Speaker 8: all that terrible stuff and go get married. Yes that's right,

1322
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 8: and go on that adventure. It's the best thing ever.

1323
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 8: And go get married. It's amazing to the right person,

1324
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,759
Speaker 8: happier than ever. God bless you guys.

1325
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 5: That selfie angle makes it look like Charlie is like

1326
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 5: three feet taller.

1327
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 3: He was a giant.

1328
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 5: He was a tall guy.

1329
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 2: He was.

1330
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:28,480
Speaker 3: But that's why we had a chair here. Like legitimately

1331
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 3: one of the things when people come into the studio

1332
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 3: and they always want to take pictures and stuff like that.

1333
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 3: I always tell him, you know, this was the cheapest

1334
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 3: chair option that we presented him because he was such

1335
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 3: a giant human and so we had this, you know,

1336
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 3: it was a thousand dollars chair and a five hundred

1337
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 3: dollars chair and all this stuff. He was like, I

1338
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 3: don't like him. He had back problems, so he was like,

1339
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:46,760
Speaker 3: I don't like it.

1340
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 4: I don't like it.

1341
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:48,880
Speaker 3: I don't like So they ended up going with the

1342
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 3: shack chair. It was like one hundred fifty bucks at Target,

1343
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:53,719
Speaker 3: and he was like, this is the one like made

1344
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 3: for super sized people, and I think we got it

1345
01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 3: years ago. It's even got like a little piece of

1346
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 3: the uh what do you call it? The vinyl is

1347
01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 3: like his has worn off because he used it so much,

1348
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 3: and it just makes me love it all the more.

1349
01:10:08,080 --> 01:10:08,160
Speaker 8: So.

1350
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Charlie was a giant person. Every time we by

1351
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 3: the way, you saw this too. When we take him

1352
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 3: into public or whatever, we'd be people meet him for

1353
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 3: the first time, people like, you're way taller than I expected. Yeah,

1354
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:19,800
Speaker 3: he was a big guy. Do you have another question?

1355
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 3: We got three minutes left in this segment.

1356
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, let's go to I think Ian is next.

1357
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 2: Ian.

1358
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 5: If you're there, unmute yourself and what's your question?

1359
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 16: Hey, guys, how you doing?

1360
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:30,080
Speaker 5: We're doing great?

1361
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:31,479
Speaker 2: Hey?

1362
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 16: I kinda answered my first question with how do we

1363
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:36,719
Speaker 16: talk about Trump meeting the peace president?

1364
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 2: So hopefully they give.

1365
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 16: Us something, But I would like to know how can

1366
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 16: how can Congress be the only people that can vote

1367
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 16: on their salary, leave their job and also get paid

1368
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 16: when the company is shut down, because that sounds like

1369
01:10:52,120 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 16: a fantastic job, and you know, it just seems kind

1370
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 16: of crazy to me. Why are we allowing this? We're

1371
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 16: just sitting by and like treating them like celebrities. When

1372
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 16: is like, but is why is this changed like this?

1373
01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 16: When did they stop serving the people?

1374
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 5: Uh? Man, if you wanted to get gosh, we could

1375
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:10,680
Speaker 5: talk for a whole hour about that.

1376
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 3: Design trying to trigger me into another angry ranting.

1377
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:18,280
Speaker 5: One of you know, A kind of maybe eccentric idea

1378
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 5: of mine is they're very frustrating. They do like to

1379
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:24,960
Speaker 5: vote themselves pay raises, although in some ways they don't

1380
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:26,920
Speaker 5: get paid a ton one of my and that's why

1381
01:11:26,920 --> 01:11:30,200
Speaker 5: they're always maneuvering to cash in as lobbyists after they

1382
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,560
Speaker 5: leave office. So many of them are looking to the

1383
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 5: next thing. I have sometimes wondered, what if we make

1384
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:39,599
Speaker 5: people mad? What if you did something like you said, actually,

1385
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:42,640
Speaker 5: senators are paid a million dollars a year, but you

1386
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 5: are like never allowed to work anything government adjacent as

1387
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 5: soon as you leave office, like no lobbying nonsense. You're

1388
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 5: in fact, you're banished from the DC area just you

1389
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 5: have to maybe you can't even you can you can

1390
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:58,000
Speaker 5: never even make more than a million dollars a year

1391
01:11:58,040 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 5: once you get office.

1392
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:01,120
Speaker 3: If the government should down, you don't get paid.

1393
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:03,760
Speaker 5: Get shut down, you don't get paid. Like you you

1394
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 5: attach more strings to it, and you have way stricter

1395
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 5: anti bribery anti How.

1396
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 3: About this too, You incentivize them if they save money,

1397
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 3: if they balance the budget, they all get another million dollars.

1398
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:19,560
Speaker 5: As soon as you did that, we'd have a balanced budget.

1399
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:22,720
Speaker 3: Oh right away. And but here's the thing. It has

1400
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 3: to be strings attached. If you don't keep the government funded,

1401
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 3: no money, you don't get it back. It's not furloughed,

1402
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:31,679
Speaker 3: you don't get to make up for that lost money.

1403
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 3: You're just out money. I actually think this is a

1404
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 3: great idea, balance the budget. Million dollar bonus for all

1405
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:41,160
Speaker 3: members of Congress. And here's here you can go.

1406
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:44,680
Speaker 5: Some more plausible. When the deficit was three hundred instead of.

1407
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:46,680
Speaker 3: Three trips, the figure it out. They'd figure it out.

1408
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 3: A million dollar bone.

1409
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:50,680
Speaker 14: You want to see some Allians getting like going after them.

1410
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 3: This is actually these are some good thoughts here, I

1411
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 3: will say to your point, though, Senator Kennedy did propose

1412
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 3: that budget amen, or that amendment on the floor where

1413
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 3: I think basically saying, hey, we shouldn't get paid paid

1414
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 3: while the government is not fully funded. So he tried,

1415
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 3: and then the Democrats, you know, I spiked it, and

1416
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 3: then the guy I guess who issued the motion ran

1417
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:16,439
Speaker 3: out of the chamber because he's a coward. They're all cowards.

1418
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 3: That's the problem with deliberative bodies. They get to hide

1419
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:25,040
Speaker 3: behind the rest of the team. Hi, folks, Andrew Colvett here,

1420
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 3: I'd like to tell you about my friends over at

1421
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 3: why Refi. You've probably been hearing me talk about why

1422
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:30,880
Speaker 3: Refi for some time.

1423
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 1: Now.

1424
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:34,640
Speaker 3: We are all in with these guys. If you or

1425
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 3: someone you know is struggling with private student loan debt,

1426
01:13:37,600 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 3: take my advice and give them a call. Maybe you're

1427
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:43,880
Speaker 3: behind on your payments, maybe you're even in default. You

1428
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:46,799
Speaker 3: don't have to live in this nightmare anymore. Why Refy

1429
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 3: will provide you a custom payment based on your ability

1430
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:53,760
Speaker 3: to pay. They tailor each loan individually. They can save

1431
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 3: you thousands of dollars and you can get your life back.

1432
01:13:57,439 --> 01:13:59,639
Speaker 3: We go to campuses all over America and we see

1433
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 3: student after student who's drowning in private student loan debt.

1434
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 3: Many of them don't even know how much they owe.

1435
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 3: Y ref I can help. Just go to y refi

1436
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:12,639
Speaker 3: dot com. That's the letter why then refi dot com.

1437
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,680

Speaker 2: Mick?

1441
01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:27,600
Speaker 3: Unmute yourself. Welcome to the Charlie kirkshow.

1442
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 9: Hey, thanks guys. Sorry I couldn't talk last week. I

1443
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:33,560
Speaker 9: would have summed like a brief you peasant, Emperor Palpatine.

1444
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:36,680
Speaker 5: And I hate to.

1445
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:39,679
Speaker 9: Saber rattle here, but everyone I talked to my age

1446
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 9: and I'm twenty two years old, they just do not

1447
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:44,680
Speaker 9: care about Iran one way or another. I mean, you

1448
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:46,760
Speaker 9: could go in with a camera and say, all right, guys,

1449
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:50,600
Speaker 9: here's the nukes. They're building them, and they still wouldn't.

1450
01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 5: Go They'd be like, what are we doing at home?

1451
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 2: And so.

1452
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:56,920
Speaker 9: Could we name some of the names some of those

1453
01:14:56,960 --> 01:15:00,240
Speaker 9: warmongers that are in the cabinet in the administration. I'm

1454
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 9: not sure if there's any in the cabinet, but I

1455
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:07,880
Speaker 9: want to start a public pressure campaign so those individuals'

1456
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:12,840
Speaker 9: names are out there, and uh, just we got to

1457
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:13,640
Speaker 9: get this wrapped up.

1458
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:17,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I totally agree. I mean, listen, you're singing from

1459
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 3: the same song sheet here.

1460
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:19,639
Speaker 5: It's the same thing.

1461
01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 14: I'm twenty three, so I'm basically the same age, and

1462
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 14: that's the exact same thing I'm hearing. Well, not that

1463
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,720
Speaker 14: they don't care, they actually do care a lot, and

1464
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,839
Speaker 14: that they don't want us involved. They don't care about

1465
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:34,759
Speaker 14: being pro war. They care a lot that we shouldn't

1466
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 14: be there, we need to get out, and they're really

1467
01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 14: turning on Trump.

1468
01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's just be fair to Trump here though, right.

1469
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 3: President Trump has been very consistent on Iran throughout the

1470
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 3: years that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. So it's

1471
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 3: one of those things. I mean, even Charlie you know,

1472
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:54,759
Speaker 3: went around in twenty twenty four and describe President Trump

1473
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,760
Speaker 3: as the peace president, no new wars, first president not

1474
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 3: to get us into another foreign conflict. You know, for

1475
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 3: whatever reason, President Trump looked at the math, looked at

1476
01:16:04,040 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 3: the intel, and decided this was the time to strike.

1477
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 3: You can disagree with it, but the truth is he

1478
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:13,040
Speaker 3: has been consistent about Iran throughout the years. This is

1479
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:15,640
Speaker 3: the biggest test. So who are those figures? You want

1480
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 3: us to name names? I mean, some of the notable

1481
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:21,920
Speaker 3: ones would be like Mike Waltz, it would be CIA

1482
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 3: director John Radcliffe has said that the intel was there.

1483
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:28,240
Speaker 3: You know, some people point to Pete hegseath. I don't

1484
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 3: know that that's fair. Pete's a good soldier. The President

1485
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 3: has made the decision to go in, so Pete's going

1486
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 3: to do it the best he can. A lot of

1487
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 3: finger pointing has gone to bb net Yahoo, who's not

1488
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 3: in the administration. Obviously, he's the Prime Minister of Israel.

1489
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:45,639
Speaker 3: He's wanted to take out the Iranian threat in that region.

1490
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 3: So we got to just sort of be honest that

1491
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 3: I'm not a believer in that. President Trump didn't have

1492
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:53,840
Speaker 3: his own agency here. He had his own agency. He

1493
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:55,960
Speaker 3: wanted to take this shot. He thought it was the

1494
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 3: right time. I think what we saw in Venezuela probably

1495
01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 3: made a lot of warmongers within the military industrial complex

1496
01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:06,600
Speaker 3: and the intel community whatever sort of say, hey, we

1497
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 3: can do this and it can be really seamless and

1498
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:12,599
Speaker 3: really clean. I hope that ultimately proves to be right.

1499
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:15,200
Speaker 3: And I'll say what I've said before that this could

1500
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:19,439
Speaker 3: ultimately be the right foreign policy decision, national security decision,

1501
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:22,679
Speaker 3: and it could be politically unpopular, and that's a trade

1502
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 3: off that a lot of us are very uncomfortable with.

1503
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 3: But that's where we are.

1504
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 14: And what every young person that I've talked to gen

1505
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 14: Z is they all like thought Venezuela was awesome. They

1506
01:17:33,080 --> 01:17:34,760
Speaker 14: were like they were so behind it, even though it

1507
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:37,639
Speaker 14: was like still a military Yeah, and that was more

1508
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 14: so because it's like a quick in and out thing.

1509
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:40,599
Speaker 5: Nobody died.

1510
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 14: But they're on this new thing where like we saw

1511
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 14: this yesterday when we were talking to him, where that

1512
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:48,360
Speaker 14: if a single American dies in a conflict, they immediately

1513
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 14: go off that we should have never been in there

1514
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 14: in the first place. And so they're kind of tying

1515
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:57,559
Speaker 14: American deaths to whether or not to gen Z. Yeah,

1516
01:17:57,640 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 14: gen Z, of whether or not we should be going

1517
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 14: to war. And so they're very against the Iran war

1518
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:04,679
Speaker 14: right now. And one of the main thing is because

1519
01:18:04,720 --> 01:18:08,720
Speaker 14: they're mentioning that we've lost thirteen soldiers and so that's

1520
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:10,920
Speaker 14: why Venezuela was great, because we didn't lose any. So

1521
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:12,800
Speaker 14: it's kind of a weird path that they're going down,

1522
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:15,040
Speaker 14: because also, you can't really have a country if you're

1523
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:17,640
Speaker 14: not gonna lose some soldiers at some it's not you

1524
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 14: wouldn't have it. It's not reasonable, you'd never have a country.

1525
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:22,599
Speaker 14: So there's a little bit of fine lining here where

1526
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:25,360
Speaker 14: they're kind of just dooming to doom on some stuff.

1527
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just so there is some covetching just to covetch, right,

1528
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 3: as if it's say, but you know, I would say

1529
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 3: the Venezuela strike was different as well, because we have

1530
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 3: something called the Monroe doctrine right where it's hemispheric dominance.

1531
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:39,720
Speaker 3: I think a lot of you know, even people that

1532
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:42,680
Speaker 3: are uncomfortable with these concepts of American empire can get

1533
01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:44,400
Speaker 3: behind the fact that we're the big dog in the

1534
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 3: Western hemisphere and everybody needs to kind of like get

1535
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 3: in line. I love that, to be honest, I'm super

1536
01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 3: into it, and so so. And you know, you've blown

1537
01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:54,800
Speaker 3: up drug boats. That was kind of rad too, because

1538
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 3: these guys are bringing in poison to kill Americans and

1539
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 3: you know, feed this black market of drugs and fentanyl

1540
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:04,760
Speaker 3: and cocaine. I love the drug boats. Okay, fine, uh,

1541
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 3: Middle East Man, We've just got a lot of scar

1542
01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:10,120
Speaker 3: tissue there, and it's it's a way tougher sell. And

1543
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 3: by the way, that Iran is a huge country, huge

1544
01:19:13,920 --> 01:19:15,840
Speaker 3: and it's got a lot of different factions and a

1545
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:17,880
Speaker 3: lot of different things going on there, a lot of history,

1546
01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:20,760
Speaker 3: proud people. I just hope that the people rise up,

1547
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 3: and I think President Trump's right. If they do it now,

1548
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:26,120
Speaker 3: they're gonna get mowed down. But I I do hope

1549
01:19:26,160 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 3: that that that does end up happening they take their

1550
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:29,719
Speaker 3: country back. Blake, Do you have any thoughts?

1551
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:30,799
Speaker 14: I mean.

1552
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:35,639
Speaker 3: No, no, who's next?

1553
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:37,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, we have Anthony.

1554
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:40,479
Speaker 3: Anthony, Welcome to the show.

1555
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 2: Hi, guys, Hey, what's going on?

1556
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:46,839
Speaker 17: Just got off a meeting. That's that's why I emailed

1557
01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 17: you guys might question earliercause I didn't know if I was.

1558
01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 5: Going to get on.

1559
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 3: Well what's your question?

1560
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:51,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1561
01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 3: Good to happy.

1562
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:54,800
Speaker 17: Let me hold my email real quick so I remember

1563
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 17: as I sent it to you, guys. So basically, it's

1564
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,400
Speaker 17: regarding how Democrats want to control things by putting, you know,

1565
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:05,680
Speaker 17: putting bills on the floor in federal government and in

1566
01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:09,680
Speaker 17: certain states to control limited movements, what you can do

1567
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:12,320
Speaker 17: with energy, what you can install in buildings and houses.

1568
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:14,840
Speaker 17: And the reason I asked this is because now we're

1569
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:17,439
Speaker 17: seeing I think it's in Massachusets. I said, this thing

1570
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:20,160
Speaker 17: called the move Act that will limit how much you

1571
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:23,240
Speaker 17: can drive a day, a week, a month, a year.

1572
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:26,880
Speaker 17: Is there any way to stop this or kind of

1573
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:28,920
Speaker 17: put the brakes on it, because and I know it's

1574
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:30,559
Speaker 17: at the state level, but is there a federal thing

1575
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:34,920
Speaker 17: that can be done through EPA Zelden's apartment, because you're

1576
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:36,680
Speaker 17: limiting the motion of freedom.

1577
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 3: Sounds I'm constitutional, actually, but I don't know, Blake, do

1578
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:40,599
Speaker 3: you have anything.

1579
01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:42,760
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know the specifics of this law

1580
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:43,679
Speaker 5: in general.

1581
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:45,439
Speaker 17: I just saw it pop up this week all over

1582
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:46,160
Speaker 17: social media.

1583
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:49,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, in general, we do, yeah, like Massachusetts moves to

1584
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 5: limit miles people can drive because of climate change. But

1585
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:55,799
Speaker 5: I don't know if it is that like a strict

1586
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:58,080
Speaker 5: rule or is it more of some there.

1587
01:20:58,160 --> 01:20:59,599
Speaker 3: They're trying to pass it as a bill.

1588
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:01,200
Speaker 17: And you'll the reason I asked this is because we

1589
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:04,160
Speaker 17: all know, like when California usually does something, the next

1590
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 17: blue state will do it, like Illinois, New York, New

1591
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:10,960
Speaker 17: Jersey and so on. Like this is kind of like

1592
01:21:11,040 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 17: you're stopping freedom here.

1593
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:15,200
Speaker 5: It sounds. I'm looking at it now, it looks like

1594
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:18,760
Speaker 5: it sets state wide goals, which yeah, it's the left

1595
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 5: is very good at taking vague goals and then suddenly

1596
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:25,240
Speaker 5: they somehow have legal force. They're good at a thing

1597
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 5: that is difficult with the left. The left is generally

1598
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 5: better at decentralized action and the sense they really are

1599
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:35,320
Speaker 5: almost like the border or the hive mind, like mimetic

1600
01:21:35,360 --> 01:21:37,559
Speaker 5: stuff gets out where they're suddenly all on the same

1601
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:39,880
Speaker 5: page and they all get aligned and they don't necessarily

1602
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 5: even need to communicate with each other, and so all

1603
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:44,880
Speaker 5: of their judges are suddenly with the program, whether it's

1604
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:49,720
Speaker 5: on open borders, or on global warming, or on race, communism,

1605
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:54,760
Speaker 5: or everything and ideal it. We could take steps to

1606
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:56,600
Speaker 5: stop it. But on the other hand, one of the

1607
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:59,679
Speaker 5: best things that does protect us when the left inevitably

1608
01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:01,560
Speaker 5: has more power in this country is we do have

1609
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 5: a federalist system that allows red states to push back

1610
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:07,680
Speaker 5: against this as well. So to some extent, that's the

1611
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:09,720
Speaker 5: it's the double side of the coin in terms of

1612
01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:12,759
Speaker 5: blue states being able to, you know, destroy themselves.

1613
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:16,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, listen, I think this sounds really unpopular.

1614
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 3: It reminds me of that you'll own nothing and you'll

1615
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 3: be happy. Instead of fixing underblying problems, they just want

1616
01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:23,840
Speaker 3: to limit freedom, limit access, limit the size of your house,

1617
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:25,599
Speaker 3: limit all these kind of things. I think it's going

1618
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 3: to be wildly unpopular. But Anthony, thank you for your question.

1619
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:30,360
Speaker 3: We will see you guys.

1620

1621
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:31,679
Speaker 3: Have a great weekend.
