John Daniel Davidson, Welcome back to 25 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 3: the Charlie Kirkshow. 26 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 4: It's good to see you. 27 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 2: Hey, thanks for having me. 28 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 3: So you and I we're chatting because you know, we're 29 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 3: reacting to what's going on in Minneapolis, and I think 30 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 3: you share my perspective here that this is not the 31 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: time where the administration can blink. This is not a 32 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 3: time where we can bend the knee or back down. 33 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 3: Please explain why you feel that way and what you're seeing. 34 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 5: One of the main things I think that we're all 35 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 5: seeing is this narrative shift, and we're seeing the Trump 36 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 5: administration and the President respond to a narrative frame that's 37 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 5: really being set by the Democrats and by the left, 38 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 5: and by the leaders in Minneapolis in some cases, leaders 39 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 5: of what looks to be sort of an organized insurrection, 40 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 5: anarco tyranny. And instead of imposing the narrative that is 41 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 5: the administration's policy that Trump was elected on to enforce 42 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 5: our immigration laws, to effectuate mass deportations of the millions 43 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 5: of people that were let in during the Biden administration. 44 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 5: You now have the president having to respond to these 45 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:34,119 Speaker 5: oftentimes disingenuous or distorted questions from the press. He's accepting 46 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 5: the frame that there's been, you know, errors made in 47 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 5: the enforcement of immigration law, that somehow these agitators and 48 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 5: rioters in Minneapolis are legitimate, that they're their tactics in 49 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 5: disrupting law enforcement are legitimate, and we're seeing him respond 50 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 5: even in terms of personnel and some policy statements as well. 51 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 2: I think it may be too soon to. 52 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 5: Say, you know, that there's actually been a change in 53 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 5: what those ice agents are doing on the ground, but 54 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 5: certainly from the perceptive point of the media and of 55 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 5: us who are watching it from afar and online, it 56 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 5: appears to be that Trump has blinked and that he 57 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 5: is retreating, at least rhetorically, and I find that very disturbing. 58 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 6: He seemed like he might be, but also then he's 59 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 6: very animated this morning. He seems annoyed with Mayor Jacob Fry. 60 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 7: So, I don't know. 61 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 6: We've been around the block a few times with Trump. 62 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 6: He's definitely he's had a lot of showdowns about things. 63 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 6: We've had, policies he's pursued policies, he's back down on policies, 64 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 6: he's then reignited after that. 65 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 7: There's always this give and take with President Trump. 66 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 6: We saw that with the Greenland thing, where he seems 67 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 6: all in on something and then it might have been 68 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 6: a negotiation tactic. So how do you unpack maybe what 69 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 6: the president's strategic thinking might be, John. 70 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: I don't know. 71 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 5: I honestly, I think Trump is a creature of instinct 72 00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 5: and of intuition. 73 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 2: I don't think he is he's a deep policy thinker. 74 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 5: I don't think that he is super disciplined in how 75 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 5: he approaches things. I think part of his genius is 76 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 5: that he does operate on instinct, and he does operate 77 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 5: on intuition, and he has great intuition and great instincts, 78 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 5: even at the level of like genius instincts when it 79 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 5: comes to. 80 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 2: US politics and leadership. 81 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 5: But on something like this, you know, this immigration issue 82 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 5: and the issue of deportations, this isn't one issue alongside 83 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 5: a bunch of other issues like Greenland or Venezuela or 84 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 5: tariffs or something. This is the issue. This is the 85 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 5: thing that got him elected the first time. This is 86 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 5: the thing that got him re elected the second time. 87 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 5: This is what the American people voted for, and what 88 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 5: you know, polls show they still say they favor in 89 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 5: overwhelming numbers, mass deportations for all illegal immigrants. 90 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 2: That's what he was elected to do. If he does 91 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 2: nothing else, that's what he needs to do. 92 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 5: And I don't think you see that kind of urgency 93 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 5: the administration. And some of this comes down, I think, 94 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 5: to the way administrations work, and it plays into some 95 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 5: of Trump's weaknesses, which can be a lack of discipline, 96 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 5: a lack of focus. One of the reasons, for example, 97 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 5: that we saw the raid on Venezuela and the capture 98 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 5: of Maduro is not necessarily I don't think, and this 99 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 5: is just a side example of what I'm talking about 100 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 5: in terms of the dynamic. I don't think that the 101 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 5: Maduro raid was number one priority on Trump's list, but 102 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 5: it was on enough people's agendas inside the administration that 103 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 5: the thing got done. And so that's the kind of 104 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 5: that's the kind of push and pull that you're going 105 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 5: to see in any administration. But I think especially in 106 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 5: this Trump administration, when you know his focus isn't always 107 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 5: laser like, and he can get distracted and follow his 108 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 5: intuition and his instincts, which is a blessing and a curse. 109 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 5: But on immigration, this is the one thing that he 110 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 5: does need laser like focus on. He needs everybody in 111 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 5: his administration to be on. There can't be any room 112 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 5: for compromising with a radical insurgent left that is essentially 113 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 5: imposing a nullification of federal immigration law in Minnesota. And 114 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 5: I guarantee you, I think we're already starting to see this. 115 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 5: This is going to spread to other cities and other states, 116 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 5: and it may become quite bad as the weather warms 117 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 5: up in some parts of the country. 118 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's been my basic operating premise here is 119 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 3: that you've got to squash it now in the winter 120 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 3: in Minneapolis, because spring and summer it's going to spread. 121 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 3: We're already seeing it spread. By the way, John, the 122 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 3: signal apps, signal chats right that we've now discovered were 123 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 3: an organizing point focus for a lot of these activists 124 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 3: have They're being used in Portland, they're being used in 125 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 3: Los Angeles. So this is going to spread. Somebody is 126 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 3: training people how to do this, how to organize them, 127 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 3: and there's a lot of data behind it, a lot 128 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 3: of it's automated, A lot of it's being linked directly 129 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 3: to airtable, so that's a sort of a database app 130 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 3: that you can use per user friendly. But I do 131 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: just want to make one point here. We had this 132 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 3: graphic up just a second ago. 133 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 7: This is Kyle. 134 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 3: Kolinski was absolutely freaking out yesterday. He said major breaking 135 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 3: Trump regime is increasing illegal DHS raids. That's what he 136 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 3: calls them against protesters, that's what he calls them. In Minnesota, 137 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 3: Bovino firing was a PR stunt to headfake de escalation. 138 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 3: So I just I want us, while I agree with you, John, 139 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 3: of all the issues, we need to be laser focused 140 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: on immigration. The President needs to be laser focused on 141 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 3: it because I think viscerally this is the most winning 142 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 3: issue in this administration, because people don't like to go 143 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 3: to Costco or the DMV or the hospital and feel 144 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 3: like they're living in a third world country. 145 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 4: And that's what it's become. 146 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 3: Eighty percent of the population growth in the United States 147 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 3: of the last decade has come from immigration, not births 148 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 3: twenty percent, right, But by the way, historically, even when 149 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 3: we had a lot of immigration in the nineties early 150 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 3: two thousands, it was sixty percent of growth was native 151 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 3: born American growth. Now that is eighty percent immigration. This 152 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 3: has become untenable, and I want to just also encourage everybody. 153 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 3: There was a big story in New York Times yesterday 154 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 3: that showed we are on pace for this next upcoming 155 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 3: year that ends. I guess it's you know, they do 156 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,559 Speaker 3: it on a halfway mark, So it'll end in July 157 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 3: of twenty twenty six for only a three hundred and 158 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 3: twenty one thousand new people in the country. That's down 159 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 3: from two point five million in twenty twenty four under Biden. 160 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 3: So like the ship is moving in the right direction. 161 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 3: We we got a you know, correct course when we 162 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 3: when we need to, and and the left is freaking out. 163 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 3: So I just want to I want everybody to just 164 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: keep keep a centerplace here. And sometimes Trump is prone 165 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 3: to headfakes. Sometimes Trump is prone to to operating on instinct. 166 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 3: But things are moving in the right direction. But I 167 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 3: completely agree with you, uh and John. Why I want 168 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 3: to talk to you about this because I think the 169 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 3: message that is sent to these insurgents needs to be firm, 170 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 3: and there needs to be prosecutions. There needs to be 171 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 3: the DOJ on the ground. These people explain that that 172 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 3: piece of it, because you have made a good point 173 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 3: on your Twitter feed, on your x feed that the 174 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 3: interior enforcement of immigration is actually what's saving the border. 175 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 3: It's actually what's having all these downstream effects that are positive. 176 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right. 177 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 5: So I've spent many years reporting from the border, both 178 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 5: sides of the border. I started following this back in 179 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 5: twenty fourteen when the unaccompanied miners started showing up during 180 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 5: the second Obama term, and nobody understood kind of what, 181 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 5: why are these unaccompanied children showing up? And that was 182 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 5: the first indication to me that like, well, there's something 183 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 5: going on. 184 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 4: At the border. 185 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 2: We don't understand. 186 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 5: What I came to realize, which a lot of people 187 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 5: understand now, is that it was the industrialization of illegal 188 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 5: immigration by the cartels that created a huge black market. 189 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: And then under Biden, you know, we had ten million. 190 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 5: People at least those are just the ones we know 191 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 5: about come into the country illegally during Biden's four years 192 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 5: in office. So when I I say that where the 193 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 5: real effects of deportation comes as interior enforcement, what I 194 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 5: mean is you can shut the border down at any time, 195 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 5: like Biden could have shut the flow of illegal immigration 196 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 5: off in five minutes anytime he wanted to. 197 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 3: Every day, Americans make choices that shape our country's future, 198 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 3: right down to which cell phone provider we support.

But you were reacting to a 219 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 3: report from Bill Mlusion who said the bipartisan code chairs 220 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 3: of the Problem Solvers Caucus, which sounds. 221 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 7: Like name to run away from very quickly. 222 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 3: Goodness, what a cringe name? The Problem Solver Caucus ret 223 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 3: Brian Fitz from Pennsylvania and rom Tom Suzi from New 224 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 3: York Democrat from New York if penn a letter to 225 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 3: President Trump in which they urge him to make take 226 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 3: up immigration reform, and I replied immigration for reformist code 227 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 3: for treason, telling him that his success scaring the borders 228 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 3: is being overshadowed by the Interior enforcement. And so what 229 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 3: do they want? They want to codify Trump's executive order 230 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 3: to have the border secured, fix the broken asylum system, 231 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 3: provide legal protection to millions of immigrants, whatever that means, 232 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 3: because that means probably amnesty, that means path to citizenship, 233 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 3: whatever you want to insert there. Mandate federal agents only 234 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 3: take actions for which they are thoroughly trained, and urge 235 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 3: local law enforcement to cooperate on public safety threats. Require five. 236 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 3: Require all federal law enforcement involved in shootings must be 237 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 3: subject to a thorough independent investigation. 238 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 4: You reacted to. 239 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 3: This very strongly, and you were making that point, so 240 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 3: please continue. 241 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, I believe the point that I made was that 242 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 5: we're done debating these things. This is not you know, 243 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 5: this is something out of the past. This is sort 244 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 5: of the Gang of Eight. This is amnesty. We've had 245 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 5: these debates, and what we got for having these debates 246 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 5: was at least ten million ill legal immigrants flooding over 247 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,959 Speaker 5: the border during the Biden administration, in the greatest move 248 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 5: movement of human beings probably in the twenty first century 249 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 5: anywhere in the world, a global phenomenon that has completely 250 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 5: changed the United States. To your point earlier about population growth, 251 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 5: that's that's where that comes from, is from Biden's border surge. 252 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 5: When I was saying before about about controlling the border. 253 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 5: The way you control the border. 254 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 2: It's easy to do. 255 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 5: The operational capacity is there through CBP and Border Patrol. 256 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 5: They're very sophisticated, very highly trained personnel there. 257 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 2: You control it by letting them do their job and. 258 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 5: Enforce the border, which they can do detaining everybody who 259 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 5: the border patrol picks up who's crossed into the country illegally, 260 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 5: which the Biden administration did not do, and then imposing 261 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 5: deterrent policies so that the people who are in northern 262 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 5: Mexico or in Central America, or who are back home 263 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 5: in their country of origin, who are thinking about paying five, ten, 264 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 5: twenty thousand dollars to a smuggling organization connected to a 265 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 5: cartel will not actually take out the loan and pay 266 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 5: that money and head north because they know there's no 267 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 5: chance that they'll be allowed to stay. 268 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 2: All it takes. 269 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys remember during the fifteen 270 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 5: thousand Haitians that were under the bridge during the Biden 271 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 5: administration in Bio, Texas. 272 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 2: Okay, do you know what happened there? They went in 273 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 2: because the Biden administration. 274 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 5: Realized all this press is showing up with drones and 275 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 5: all these images of these horrible conditions under this bridge, 276 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 5: and they said, all right, we have to we got 277 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 5: to wrap that up. 278 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 2: We got to get those people out of there. 279 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 5: They went in and they took a couple hundred people 280 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 5: out of fifteen thousand and deported them back to Haiti. 281 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 5: About eight to nine thousand of those people immediately went 282 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 5: back across the river to Mexico. They self deported because 283 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 5: they did not want to be sent back to Haiti. So, 284 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 5: in other words, it's deterrent policies that secure the border, 285 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 5: and that can be done at any time. But what 286 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 5: do you do about the ten million people that already 287 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 5: got into the country. You have to send ICE out 288 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 5: into the interior of the United States and find those 289 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 5: people and arrest them. And it's a lot easier to 290 00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 5: do that, and you can do it without any p 291 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 5: tests or any accidental shootings or tragic events if the 292 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 5: local police will honor ICE detainer requests, as they do 293 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 5: through most of the country, everywhere except these sanctuary districts. 294 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 5: And so I think we have to, like we've allowed 295 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 5: ourselves and I think to go back to where we started. 296 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 5: The Trump administration has allowed itself to kind of tumble 297 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 5: down this leftist rabbit hole of adjudicating these fake things 298 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 5: right when we're what we're actually talking about is enforcing 299 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 5: the immigration laws that we have on the books. 300 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 2: The ICE agents are not breaking the law. 301 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 5: They're not warrantly warrant less doing warrantless arrests or kidnapping, 302 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 5: and anyone in the mainstream corporate media who says that 303 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 5: should be called out for it. 304 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 2: They're just lying. 305 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 5: They're acting under their lawful authority under Article two, not 306 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 5: Article three. 307 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 2: Right, So they don't have judicial. 308 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 5: Warrants, which is a whole other thing we can talk about. 309 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 5: But all immigration enforcement is under the executive branch. Immigration 310 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 5: judges are administrative judges, and the warrants the ICE agents 311 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 5: have for illegal aliens or administry warrants. That's why they 312 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 5: can't go into private homes and they wait sometimes outside 313 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 5: places of business or public places to. 314 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 2: Make their arrests. 315 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 5: But we just got to get back to reality on 316 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 5: this because we've gone the administration has allowed the conversation 317 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 5: in the narrative to go so far afield. It's I 318 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 5: feel like I'm taking crazy pills. 319 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 4: No, I completely agree with that gout. 320 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 7: Well, it just occurs to me. 321 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 6: So people are freaking a lot of people who should 322 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 6: know better are letting themselves have panic attacks because they 323 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 6: can't handle, you know, an ugly image. 324 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 7: They're easily tricked by. Oh, they they used a five 325 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 7: year old as. 326 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 6: Bait, and I feel like the low hanging fruit of 327 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 6: it disincentivizes coming here, it encourages people to self deport, 328 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 6: and it doesn't create as many bad images. Is if 329 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 6: the administration put more pressure on something we know is illegal, 330 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 6: which is businesses knowingly employing illegal immigrants. 331 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 7: And I've often thought. 332 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 6: Like, the way you cut the Gordian knot is you 333 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 6: make a really public example of one or two business 334 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 6: owners who have very egregiously been hiring illegals and use 335 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 6: that to put the fear of God in others. And 336 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 6: so they self deport their illegal employees out of their companies, 337 00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 6: and then those employees self deport out of the country. 338 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 7: What do you think of that great idea. 339 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 2: I've been talking about that for years. This is the 340 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 2: one thing. 341 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 5: The reason that we got mass illegal immigration is because 342 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 5: on the Democrat side, they wanted it to increase their 343 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 5: voter rolls, which they have been saying for decades. 344 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 2: Right, it's not a conspiracy theory. And on the right 345 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 2: it was. 346 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 5: Republicans in sort of the commerce Chamber of commerce, Republicans 347 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 5: who wanted lower wages for their big business constituents, and 348 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 5: so they kind of turned a blind eye and allowed 349 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 5: cheap labor to flood into the country. At the behest 350 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 5: of those special interests. I think if you knowingly employ 351 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 5: illegal immigrants, you shouldn't just get fined. 352 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 2: Or you know, get some slap on the wrist, you 353 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 2: should go to jail. 354 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 5: And I totally agree that you don't have to get 355 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 5: every business. You just have to send a message and 356 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 5: to encourage the others so to speak, and and and 357 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 5: you know, actually put real meat on the bone there 358 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 5: and say if you if you break our immigration laws, 359 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 5: and knowing the higher illegals, you're going to jail. You personally, 360 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 5: owner of this business are going to jail. And we 361 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,880 Speaker 5: don't talk about that enough. And that's a huge part 362 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 5: of the incentive, the pull factors for illegal immigrants to 363 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 5: come here. They won't come if they know they're gonna 364 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,719 Speaker 5: get deported as soon as they get caught crossing the border. 365 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 5: And they also won't come if they know there's no 366 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 5: jobs for them here well. 367 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 3: And they also won't come if they know they're not 368 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 3: going to immediately be put on the dole right, because 369 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 3: that's another that's another pool factors. 370 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 4: They come here. 371 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 3: They get they were getting free debit cards filled with 372 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 3: free cash, free flights into the interior, family reunification and 373 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 3: by the way, they expedited everything on the CBP one app, 374 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 3: so they to your point earlier. They didn't like the 375 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 3: bad prs, so they're like, listen, you don't have to 376 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 3: come flood the border. That's bad optics. You know you 377 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 3: got Bill Illusion down there with drones. Now just get 378 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 3: on the app. We'll get you a flight from Mexico City. 379 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 3: You come up, go wherever you want, and then just 380 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 3: get immediately on the doll that's what they treason is 381 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 3: absolutely And by the way, everybody who wants scalps from 382 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 3: the previous administration, if you're not bringing up Alejandro my Orkis, 383 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 3: you're missing the point.

Thanks for having me. 396 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 4: God bless you. 397 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,479 Speaker 3: I you know, I'm just sad that you didn't wear 398 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 3: a pink shirt or something that I could have. I 399 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 3: could have just a throwback to Charlie, some golden boy quote. 400 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,120 Speaker 3: We gotta get Seinfeld, load up a good Seinfeld clip. 401 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 3: We have to do it in Charlie's I kid you not, Eric. 402 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 3: I have been the so I fall asleep to Seinfeld 403 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 3: every night in honor of Charlie. I'm working my way 404 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 3: through the entire ten seasons. 405 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 8: Okay, now I'm gonna have to interrupt you. I gotta 406 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 8: tell you what Charlie and I had, like an ongoing disagreement, 407 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 8: and he eventually agreed with me. Oh, and here's what 408 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 8: it is. Seinfeld the last few seasons basically stink. Now 409 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 8: when I say basically, there's still great moments and stuff, 410 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 8: but it's like they handed over to a bunch of 411 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 8: younger writers who turned it into the cartoon version of Seinfeld. 412 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 8: So when you watch like the first six seven seasons, 413 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 8: it's a certain show and then it gets you know, 414 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 8: like when they do stuff like Kramer has the mrv. 415 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,719 Speaker 8: Griffin set. Yeah, it's like it's funny, but it's like 416 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 8: cartoon funny. I know you weren't expecting to have this 417 00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 8: discussion with you. 418 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 4: Don't disagree. 419 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 7: I'm slightly younger than you, guys. So we talk about 420 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 7: this with the Simpsons. 421 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 6: But the problem is, at least with Seinfeld, Jerry Seinfeld 422 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 6: had the wisdom to refuse four million an episode or 423 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 6: whatever they offered him and keep going. And yeah, and 424 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 6: they just ended it. Whereas The Simpsons has been going 425 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 6: for three times. It's been a bad show for three times, 426 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 6: longer than it was ever a good show, and. 427 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 7: It's still going. 428 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 4: Well, it's still going. 429 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,199 Speaker 3: You are host of Socrates in the City, author of 430 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 3: bon Hoffer is Atheism Dead, and letter to the American Church. 431 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 3: So I wanted to start this Eric, because you are 432 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 3: a man of God and one of the core ethos, 433 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 3: central themes of this show and it will forever be 434 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 3: this way, because this is a show that is dedicated 435 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 3: to the legacy of Charlie Kirk and continuing the mission 436 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 3: of Charlie Kirk is to honor faith, is to lift 437 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,399 Speaker 3: up Jesus Christ, and to do it boldly, proudly, loudly, 438 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 3: and without apology. And so I want to play a clip. 439 00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 3: It's longer. This is the Charlie Kirk show. He deserves 440 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 3: the time of Charlie explaining why America's Christian roots must 441 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 3: be are Christian and why we need to keep it 442 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 3: that way, and then I just we'll let the conversation 443 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 3: go wherever it is, so please enjoy this longer clip 444 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 3: three forty five. 445 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: Remember that we were a collection of states and colonies, 446 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: and you need to read the state constitutions before anything else. 447 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: Thirteen on thirteen required a declaration of faith. Nine out 448 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: of thirteen required you to be a Protestant, except Maryland, 449 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: which was Catholic, which still required a declaration of faith. 450 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: Every single one of the original state constitutions Pennsylvania included 451 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: they had I profess Lord in Jesus Christ as my 452 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: Lord and Savior in the original state constitutions. Secondly, fifty 453 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: five fifty six of the original signers of the declaration 454 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 1: were Bible believing Church attending Christians. You asked about common law, 455 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: so common law is inherited from Blackstone, who was Christian. 456 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: A common law is an outgrowth of the Scriptures. 457 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 2: So let's go to three. 458 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: Principles of common law, due process and drive your peers 459 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: wrapped into the ultimate Biblical principle that you shall not 460 00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: favor justice if you are richer report, which is a 461 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: little bit nineteen right before the most famous part of 462 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: little Biticus nineteen, which is that you should love your 463 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: neighbors yourself. But before that is that in the administration 464 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,240 Speaker 1: of justice you shall not favor the rich or the poor, 465 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: which is the idea of blind justice. We get that 466 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: in the West, which is incorporated also in the New 467 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: Testament ideal. Neither slave nor Greek nor jew You're all 468 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: one in Jesus Christ. As you get to eid human equality. 469 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: These are all Biblical ideas. They're not Enlightenment ideas, which 470 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: is they kind of get conflated at the time. But 471 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 1: more importantly than that, they say that God was only 472 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 1: mentioned four times in the Declaration of Independence. Well that's 473 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: a big deal, okay, laws of nature and Nature's God. 474 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: The last paragraph of the declaration reads as a prayer. 475 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 1: It says, we appeal to the supreme judge of the universe, 476 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: who's the judged universe. Jesus Christ says in Revelation that 477 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: Jesus will judge the earth on his throne. So in 478 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: the Declaration they were praying to Christ, our Lord as 479 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: a prayer very specifically. Thirdly, as I said on stage yesterday, 480 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: Deuteronomy was by far the most quoted book religious or 481 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: non religious in the time of the Founding when they 482 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: were putting together Constitution, more than John Locke, more than Montesquieu, 483 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: more than Blackstone. So the Book of Deuteronomy, which talked 484 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: about laws, customs, traditions, it was Moses farewell address as 485 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: he's about to say goodbye, Say hey, good luck in Canaan, guys. 486 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 2: Here's how you should set up your form of government. 487 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: But finally, and most importantly, let's look at actually what 488 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: the founders said. John Adams seemlessly said the Constitution was 489 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: only written for a moral, religious people. It was wholly 490 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: inadequate for the people of any other. The body politic 491 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: of America was so Christian and was so Protestant that 492 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: our form and structure of government was built for the 493 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: people that believed in Christ, our Lord. One of the 494 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: reasons we're living through a constitutional crisis is that we 495 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: no longer have a Christian nation, but we have a 496 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: Christian form of government, and they're incompatible. 497 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: So you cannot have liberty. 498 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 1: If you do not have a Christian population. 499 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 4: Your reaction. 500 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 8: Listen, I could laugh, I could fall down laughing with 501 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,719 Speaker 8: joy because the fact that Charlie, only Charlie, could rattle 502 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 8: things off like ba boo boo boo boo boo boo 503 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 8: boo boom, like enough, like it's unbelieve, it's so beautiful 504 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 8: and it's so true. I tell you, Andrew, you and 505 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 8: I haven't talked much because I've been deep in the 506 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 8: bowels of working on a book on the American Revolution. 507 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 8: I have never in my life understood what Charlie just 508 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 8: was talking about in the way that I do. 509 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 2: Now. 510 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 8: The book will come out in June. It is outrageously inescapable, inescapable, 511 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 8: utterly inescapable. That this nation is a Christian nation. Now 512 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 8: you have to define what that means. It doesn't mean 513 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 8: that the government tells people you have to go to 514 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 8: church or the government. The government has to be agnostic. 515 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 8: Government has to sit back, and we have freedom in America. 516 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 8: But the founders, as Charlie was just saying, there's no doubt. 517 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 8: And when you know the details, you'll be embarrassed that 518 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 8: you didn't see this before, you didn't learn this in school. 519 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 8: There is no doubt. There is no America there is 520 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 8: no America period without Christian faith, all of the founders. 521 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 8: And I'm really focused on the founders before the Founders, right, 522 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 8: I'm talking about Samuel Adams, John Adams in the seventeen sixties. 523 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 8: This is what I talked about in my book before 524 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 8: I get to the actual war, the Revolution. But they 525 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 8: were radical Reformation Puritans. These were people who were just 526 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 8: They saw the whole world through a biblical lens, and 527 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 8: they knew that God's model is for us to do 528 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 8: what the ancient Israelites did in SINAI have a direct 529 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 8: covenant with God. No king but Jesus, no king but 530 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 8: the Lord. They all understood this. They all understood this, 531 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 8: and when they created our government, that's what they were doing. 532 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 8: And it's just so amazing to me how we have 533 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 8: lived at a time where this is news to most people. 534 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 3: Hi, folks, Andrew Colvett here, I'd like to tell you 535 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 3: about my friends over at wy REFI.

Many of them don't even know how much 548 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 3: they owe. Why ref I can help. Just go to 549 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 3: y refi dot com. That's the letter, Why then refi 550 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 3: dot com. And remember why Refi doesn't care what your 551 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 3: credit score is. Just go to yrefi dot com and 552 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 3: tell them your friend Andrews sent you. 553 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 8: But as I've been writing this book, I have been 554 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 8: so astonished. I cannot tell you. The name of the 555 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 8: book is Revolution, and as I said, you can't even 556 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 8: pre order it yet. But the reason it's called Revolution 557 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 8: is because every other revolution is not a revolution. It's 558 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 8: a fake revolution, fake and gay. The French Revolution is 559 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 8: a demonic parody of a revolution. It's like it becomes 560 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 8: a blood bath because they take God out. The Bolshevik Revolution, 561 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 8: all these things we call revolution, they're not actual revolutions. 562 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 2: The one true. 563 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,359 Speaker 8: Revolution in the history of the world in terms of 564 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 8: government is America. And it's so beautiful, and so I 565 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,800 Speaker 8: think I have to say that what's become clear to 566 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 8: me is like a lot of people say, well, I'm 567 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 8: conservative or I love America or whatever. It's like, if 568 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 8: you really understand that, you understand apart from God, that 569 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 8: makes no sense. You should be a liberal. You should 570 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 8: be a in other words, to love America, to understand 571 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 8: what America is, it points you back. Every single one 572 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 8: of the folks who gave us this country understood it 573 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 8: is about Jesus. It's about bringing biblical you know. They 574 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 8: basically said, well, if we wanted to form a government 575 00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 8: on biblical principles, what would that look like. It would 576 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 8: look like America. That's what it is, and that's what 577 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 8: and many of them said it explicitly. Samuel Adams I 578 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 8: think said it explicitly. They looked at, you know, the 579 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 8: authoritarian monarchies in the same way that they looked at 580 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 8: the Roman Catholic Church at the time. It's like, for 581 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 8: top down, it's going to tell you what to do, 582 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 8: you don't you know, And the Reformation changed everything, so 583 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 8: suddenly every single person has the ability to have a 584 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 8: direct relationship with God. And they said that, you know, 585 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,479 Speaker 8: that's the way it should be. Could we form a 586 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 8: government that looks like that? Would it be possible? And 587 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 8: as you just said, quoting John Adams, it's like, it 588 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 8: is not possible unless the people get that. 589 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 2: It is not. 590 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 8: If the people aren't tuned into this, you're it's it's 591 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 8: not going to work. Which is why I hope in 592 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,640 Speaker 8: this twound and fiftieth year of celebration, which we have 593 00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 8: called the super Centennial, in case anybody didn't get the memo, 594 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,800 Speaker 8: this is the super Centennial. President Trump agrees with that 595 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 8: term that in this super centennial year, we need to 596 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 8: go back, We need to understand that without that, America 597 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 8: goes away. So you know, nobody got this better than 598 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 8: our friend Charlie. And just listening to that clip, I 599 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 8: just get I get joy from that that he said 600 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 8: all that. 601 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, No, I look forward to just discussing that book 602 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 6: when it comes out. And one of Charlie's big causes 603 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 6: was he just he really flogged at that point. America 604 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 6: is obviously a Christian country, and it obviously is you 605 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 6: almost have to feel like a moron, Like like you said, 606 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 6: once you once you notice it, it's like, okay, so 607 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 6: we were settled by a bunch of Protestant religious zealots 608 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 6: of various stripes. 609 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:41,920 Speaker 7: Zealous Puritans. 610 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, it technically coming from a nation of huge religious ferment. 611 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 7: Like I think, what is it? 612 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 6: Half the Protestant denominations in the world probably come out 613 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 6: of England in this time period. 614 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 7: They're constantly coming to scott new versions. 615 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 6: They're the ones who translate the Bible into every language, 616 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 6: send missionaries everywhere. They're constantly trying to convert the Indians. 617 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 6: In America, they're coming out of a very religiously infused 618 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 6: revolution in the English Civil Wars. 619 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 7: That's basically a religious infused revolt. 620 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 6: They have a glorious Revolution, which I'm a Catholic, I 621 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 6: don't even like that, but that's totally a religious infused revolt. 622 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 6: And that's where we get our entire concept of the 623 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 6: Bill of Rights. The original Bill of Rights is basically 624 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 6: born out of the glorious Revolution, and it's. 625 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 7: Aftermath, well that's after the revolution. 626 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 6: America is this Christian country, and that's what drives abolitionism. 627 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 6: That's what infuses both sides of the Civil War. And 628 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 6: then they want to tell you, oh, and then during 629 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 6: the period where the country was founded out that was 630 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 6: just a bunch of dasts. 631 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 7: No one really cared. Give me a break. 632 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 8: Oh that's a that is something. It's funny you say that, 633 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 8: because I you know, when the book comes out, there's 634 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 8: like nine things that I'm just champing at the bit 635 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 8: to talk about. The whole deist thing, complete blooney. I 636 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 8: never dreamt that I would discover that it is total maloney. 637 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 8: I mean, almost nobody is a d'ist. Even the d'ists 638 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 8: are not dais. I mean, you read what Franklin says, 639 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,560 Speaker 8: you read what Jefferson says. And these are the only 640 00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 8: two people that everybody points to, you know, like their das. 641 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 8: They say radically Christian things, Ben Franklin and Jefferson. When 642 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 8: they were gonna design the Great Seal, you know, we 643 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 8: were going to design a great seal for the new Nation, 644 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 8: they both suggested Moses parting the Red Sea and the 645 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 8: Israelites in the wilderness and what like. 646 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 2: There's like that. That's it. 647 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:25,959 Speaker 9: That's it. 648 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 8: Those are the two quote unquote dias.

I. I was friends 685 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 8: with Larry David before Seinfeld. He was nowhere in his 686 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 8: career and everybody said like, oh, this is a comedians 687 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 8: comedian and I went to watch him at a club 688 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 8: here in the city in New York, and we were friends. 689 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 8: And I went to a dinner party at his apartment 690 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 8: and the real Kramer popped in, Like I was, It's 691 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 8: so bizarre, and I knew I knew him through the 692 00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 8: woman that Elaine Vennis is based on, So all those 693 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 8: stories about fat camp and all that kind of stuff. 694 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 8: It's so crazy. And then when I became born again 695 00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 8: and became politically conservative, he couldn't really handle it, and 696 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 8: so our friendship evaporated. But it's such a bizarre thing 697 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 8: to think that, you know, I knew him before Seinfeld 698 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 8: was a thing. It's just crazy to me. I can't 699 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 8: that old obviously. 700 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you know what's interesting. 701 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 3: I think, you know, Larry David's off obviously a crazy person, 702 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 3: very lib. He's given the world a great show, but 703 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 3: so did Jerry, and Jerry Seinfeld is not crazy woke, 704 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 3: so we can we can take solace in that. And actually, 705 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 3: if you watch Seinfeld back, this is the nineties. I 706 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 3: mean it started based I think season one was nineteen 707 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,720 Speaker 3: eighty nine and it ended, you know, around twenty nineteen 708 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,959 Speaker 3: ninety nine, something like that, and it is not woke. 709 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,279 Speaker 3: The show is very not woke, and it sort of 710 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 3: predicts so much of the weirdness that we're experiencing. Our 711 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,960 Speaker 3: modern culture predicts it, right, like you gotta wear a ribbon. 712 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 3: I think we play that's so I don't know square, 713 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 3: but the black Square. The takeaway is not that it 714 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 3: predicts it. It's it's kind of a solace to it 715 00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,359 Speaker 3: that it's actually always been there and it comes and 716 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 3: goes well, and it gets accentuated by social media. Yeah, 717 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 3: certainly why. 718 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 8: It's already making fun of it. It's it's already making 719 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 8: fun of it. I actually remember when I graduated from 720 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,960 Speaker 8: Yale in the eighties. You had to wear a ribbon 721 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:07,919 Speaker 8: in at graduation that showed that you stood against apartheid 722 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 8: in South Africa, and there was another ribbon for I 723 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 8: forget what, and you had to wear the ribbons. And 724 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 8: like the jerk that I was, I wore the ribbons. 725 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 8: It's like, oh, you got you gotta wear the ribbons. 726 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,960 Speaker 8: This kind of virtue signaling has been going on for 727 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 8: a long long time. And of course Seinfeld was mocking it. 728 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 8: You know, there's so many episodes where they where they 729 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 8: mock it, where they say the stuff that everybody's thinking. 730 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 8: So that's called comedy. And what comedy is is truth telling. 731 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 8: I mean, the reason we find it funny, it's because like, yep, exactly. 732 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 8: So yeah, i'd love to That's somebody I'd love to 733 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 8: interview someday is Jerry Seinfeld. I think I could have 734 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:45,800 Speaker 8: a fun conversation. 735 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,880 Speaker 3: Well, we have his Duke commencement speech. Our team, our 736 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 3: crack team in the studio is like pulling Seinfeld stuff 737 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 3: a lot. So here we go.

Privilege today seems to be the worst thing 741 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 10: you can have. I would like to take a moment 742 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 10: to defend it. 743 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:10,760 Speaker 2: Again. 744 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,359 Speaker 10: A lot of you are thinking, I can't believe they 745 00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:19,879 Speaker 10: invited this guy too late.

That 747 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 10: is a privilege if you want to be a comedian. 748 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 10: My point is we're embarrassed about things we should be 749 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 10: proud of, and proud of things we should be embarrassed about. 750 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 4: Pretty smart. 751 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,280 Speaker 8: Well, the joy is that he clearly is like Ricky Gervais. 752 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,399 Speaker 8: He doesn't care.
