But if the most important thing is 7 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 2: doing good, you'll end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. 8 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 2: You got to stop sending your kids to college.

Here I am. 18 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 3: Lord, Use me. 19 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: Buckle up, everybody, Here we go.

Honored to be 25 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 4: with you patriots across the country today. Massively busy media weekend. 26 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 4: There was a lot going on. I have family in town. 27 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 4: Was trying to focus, but there was just too much 28 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 4: going on. And I will tell you, and we're going 29 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 4: to get to it all. We've got new Epstein revelations, 30 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 4: We've got updates in the Savannah Got three case. 31 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 3: We've got all kinds of things. But the key. 32 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 4: Storyline that I think we need to lead with because 33 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 4: it was just too good not to lead it. 34 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 3: It really and it matters more. I think it does matter. 35 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 4: And by the way, that's what our show is always 36 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 4: attempting to do. 37 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 5: We want to focus on the civilizational stakes, the. 38 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 4: Things that matter, the cultural things that matter, the political 39 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 4: things that matter, the civilizational things that matter. Marco Rubio's 40 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 4: speech at the Munich Security Conference was absolutely a barn burner. 41 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 4: It was probably, as I said on X, the single 42 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 4: best defense of Western civilization, in an appeal to Europe 43 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 4: to get on board with the vision that America President 44 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 4: Trump has put forward that I've heard in a generation, 45 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 4: that I think has been articulated in a generation. 46 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's. 47 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 5: First of all what it matters. 48 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 6: This is the Munich Security Conference, annual event related to 49 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 6: defense in the you know, during the past few years 50 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 6: it's all been about Ukraine and such. Secretary Rubio goes 51 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 6: and he gives a speech that's basically laying out the 52 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 6: grand vision of what the Trump administration's attitude towards Europe is. 53 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 6: And we'll have the clips here, but the big picture 54 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 6: you're looking for is he's pointing out we're not hostile 55 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 6: towards Europe. In fact, we quite literally want to mega 56 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 6: make Europe great again. And so he's pointing out when 57 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 6: we critic size NATO, it's always that we want NATO 58 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 6: to be stronger. We want European countries to have better 59 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 6: militaries so they will be better allies to us. We 60 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 6: want to stop migration to Europe because we want European 61 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 6: civilizations to survive, just as we want our own civilization 62 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 6: to survive. And I think the most remarkad and he 63 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 6: makes these historic appeals. He talks about World War Two, 64 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 6: he talks about the Cold War War, we stood with 65 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 6: Europeans against tyrannical anti civilizational forces. And I think the 66 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 6: most amazing thing about it is at the end of it. 67 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 6: He got a standing ovation from the Europeans. 68 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 4: Which apparently is rare, but he what I think, the 69 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 4: reason he did is because when we criticize Europe it 70 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 4: is because we care. And he articulated that very well, 71 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 4: and he did it over and over. He laced it 72 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 4: throughout the speech. But let's just get into it. This 73 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 4: was an amazing, amazing moment. I think whether it matter 74 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 4: in the long term, will this have the desired impact? 75 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 3: Who knows, But the standing ovation was a good was good. 76 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 5: Let's run it into it. Let's do two forty six. 77 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 7: National security, which this conference is largely about, is not 78 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 7: merely a series of technical questions how much we spend 79 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 7: on defense or where how we deploy it. These are 80 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 7: important questions, they are, but they are not the fundamental one. 81 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 7: The fundamental question we must answer at the outset is 82 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 7: what exactly are we defending? Because armies do not fight 83 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 7: for abstractions. Armies fight for a people, Armies fight for 84 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 7: a nation. Armies fight for a way of life, and 85 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 7: that is what we are defending. A great civilization that 86 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 7: has every reason to be proud of its history. 87 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 4: That to me is such a distillation of what I 88 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 4: believe is what's ailing the West right now. We have 89 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 4: lost our pride and self. We have lost our pride 90 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 4: in our own culture and our own people and our 91 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 4: own accomplishments. We have been plagued by a guilt built 92 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 4: a white guilt, a guilt of our own success. We 93 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 4: have believed lies that we are invaders, that were evil colonialists. 94 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 3: He's imperialists. 95 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 5: He unironically touted colonialism during. 96 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 4: The speech, which is an unambiguously overall good thing on 97 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 4: the history of the world. It is I will defend colonialism. 98 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 4: It's not that it was perfect. It's not that it 99 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 4: was it didn't have brutality or cruelty involved. Of course, 100 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 4: we're talking about a people that understood that you had 101 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 4: to use force if you were going to get what 102 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 4: you wanted in a mean and cruel world. So I'm 103 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 4: not saying it was all perfect. But if you look 104 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 4: at where especially the English colonials have went, even in 105 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 4: Kenya in Africa, it's one of the most stable countries 106 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 4: in all of Africa because it was settled by English. 107 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 4: Same in India, same in America. You can look across 108 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 4: the board and the British colonialists had a I would 109 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 4: say overwhelmingly good, positive impact on the world. I don't 110 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 4: think we got this as a clip, so I want 111 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 4: to read it. This is a line that Secretary Rubio said. 112 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 4: For five centuries before the end of the Second World War, 113 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 4: the West had been expanding It's missionaries, its pilgrims, its soldiers, 114 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 4: its explorers, pouring out from its shores to cross oceans, 115 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 4: settle new continents, build vast empires, extending out across the globe. 116 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 4: But in nineteen forty five, for the first time since 117 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 4: the age of Columbus, it Europe was contracting. Europe was 118 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 4: in ruins, half of it lived behind an iron curtain. 119 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 4: The great Western empires had entered into terminal decline, accelerated 120 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 4: by godless communist revolutions and anti colonial uprisings that would 121 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 4: transform the world and drape the red hammer and sickle 122 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 4: across the vast swaths of the map for years to come. 123 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 4: And he basically says, it's time for us to undo 124 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 4: that managed decline, and that's not necessarily bring back colonialism specifically, 125 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 4: but certainly stop apologizing for it, stop acting like it's 126 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 4: the worst atrocity to ever happen. And he calls out 127 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 4: mass migration, and he calls out like demilitarization, Yeah, the 128 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 4: managed decline. I thought he really honed in on it. 129 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,239 Speaker 3: It was very powerful play a cut two fifty three. 130 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 7: For we in America have no interest in being polite 131 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 7: and orderly caretakers of the West's managed decline. We do 132 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 7: not seek to separate, but to revitalize an old friendship 133 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 7: and renew the greatest civilization in human history. 134 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 6: And then he goes on and basically says, yeah, to 135 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 6: renew it. He talks about rearming fifty seven. 136 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 7: Asking member states of NATO to be stronger is not 137 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 7: a threat to say, well, if you're not stronger, then 138 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 7: we're going to you know, it's to point out to 139 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 7: everybody that it is a stronger alliance. We are collectively 140 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 7: stronger when we are individually stronger on what our capabilities 141 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 7: we bring. 142 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 3: That was from a different Yeah, that was from after. 143 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 4: But the part that I think was actually the next 144 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 4: thought in this is he goes straight into mass migration. 145 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 3: And I love that you saw this. JD. Vance hit it. 146 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 4: President Trump has been hitting it repeatedly, and now you 147 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 4: see Marco Rubio two fifty four. 148 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 7: Mass migration is not was not is some fringe concern 149 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 7: of little consequence. It was and continues to be a 150 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 7: crisis which is transforming and destabilizing societies all across the West. 151 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 4: We always say on this show that mass migration, unfettered 152 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 4: mass migration is the switch that, when flipped, will fix 153 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 4: basically all the ills. Not perfectly humans or evil humans 154 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 4: are flawed. They're going to be flawed regardless of where 155 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 4: they come from. But mass migration is absolutely at the 156 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 4: core root of so many of the problems ailing the 157 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 4: West today, and it needs to be addressed. Candles were 158 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 4: lit on Bondai Beach by families, by children, by people 159 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 4: of faith to celebrate a festival of Light, a festival 160 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 4: from Bible times, one that Jesus himself celebrated. People gathered 161 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 4: with hope, seeking unity and comfort and tradition, but instead 162 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 4: of light, there was darkness, violence, fear, hatred showing itself 163 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 4: at a time meant for prayer and rejoicing. Times like 164 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 4: this remind us that even with the ceasefire in Israel, 165 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 4: Jewish people are being targeted simply because of their faith, 166 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 4: and times like this remind us why the International Fellowship 167 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 4: of Christians and Jews exists to stand in the gap, 168 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 4: providing safety and security to God's people. The Fellowship brings 169 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 4: together Christians and Jews to be a light to suffering 170 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 4: Jews in Israel, the former Soviet Union, or wherever the 171 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,319 Speaker 4: needs are greatest.

We 184 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 7: are part of one civilization, Western civilization. We are bound 185 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 7: to one another by the deepest bonds that nations could share, 186 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 7: forged by centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry, 187 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 7: and the sacrifices our forefathers made together for the common 188 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 7: civilization to which we have fallen heir. 189 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 4: And I just love that he brings the word Christian 190 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 4: in there. Known fact, when they were doing the European 191 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 4: Union and they were kind of establishing some of their 192 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 4: foundational documents, there was a debate about whether or not 193 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 4: to include Christianity in there, something doctor James or talks about. 194 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 3: They voted against that. 195 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 4: So I don't know what defines the West if it 196 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 4: isn't our common Christian heritage. Whether or not you agree, 197 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 4: whether or not you believe, there's nothing that unites the 198 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 4: West because there's different languages, there's different cultures, different food, 199 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 4: different culinary traditions. What unites the West is our Christian roots. 200 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 4: And Marco was very clear to put that in. So 201 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 4: I don't believe the lies that This is my big point. 202 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 4: What I loved about this and why I think it 203 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 4: stood out is because Marco articulated a rousing speech, but 204 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 4: a celebration of our history and our accomplishments of our values. 205 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 4: So many people in that room have been fed up. 206 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 4: Heap lies that they're supposed to be ashamed of themselves, 207 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 4: and that we should be ashamed and we should manage 208 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 4: our decline to let other the global South rise or whatever, 209 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 4: let China rise. No, And it's a it's a choice. 210 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 6: And I especially think it's this is a part I 211 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 6: particularly like. Actually Rubio is, of course Cuban, Cuban heritage, 212 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 6: Hispanic heritage. And I like that he's affirming that because, 213 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 6: as we'll see, because we'll have clips from aoc here 214 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 6: in just a moment, there's this popular there's actually kind 215 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 6: of a conflict in Latin American civilization where some of 216 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 6: them they really buy into this, like Indigenous People's movement, 217 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 6: where like everything about it was terrible, and like Europe 218 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 6: is awful and we need to like decolonize the world. 219 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 6: And he's pointing out, no, like I am from Western civilizations. Well, 220 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 6: Cuba is a part of Western civilization. He mentioned Venezuela 221 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 6: in the speech. Venezuela is a part of Western civilization. 222 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 6: It's not just Europe itself and America. It's the places 223 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 6: that Europeans went, where they spread Christianity, where they spread 224 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 6: spread European cultural norms, where they spread European languages and 225 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 6: all of that. And it was really not to see 226 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 6: him just step up and defend that all as a 227 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 6: good thing, which it was, because would you rather have 228 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,559 Speaker 6: Mexico as it is or Mexico as a nation that 229 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 6: sacrifices human beings? 230 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,479 Speaker 4: Well, an AOC tries to take a swing at Secretary 231 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 4: of Rubio's address in Munich and Missus two fifty six. 232 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 8: You are starting to see the ascent of the right 233 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 8: even in places like Munich. Marco Rubio's speech was a 234 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 8: pure appeal to Western culture. 235 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 4: And that's a bad thing. Oh no, it's terrible. No, 236 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 4: So this is another funny one. She basically references the 237 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 4: actions we took in Venezuela and said, you know, we 238 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 4: just did it because it's below the equator. It's not 239 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 4: below the equator two seventy four. 240 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 8: We look at what happened in Venezuela, for example. 241 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 9: It is not a it is it is. 242 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 8: Not a remark on who Maduro was as a leader. 243 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 8: He canceled elections, he was an anti democratic leader. That 244 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 8: doesn't mean that we can kidnap ahead of state and 245 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 8: engage in acts of war just because the nation is 246 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 8: below the equator, and. 247 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 6: That they really it's very funny. It's like it's so 248 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 6: funny that she gets wrong. Specifically, because it goes basically 249 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 6: as close to the equator as you can get without 250 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 6: actually touching it. I also love She's just a classic 251 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 6: example so many politicians do that as soon as she 252 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 6: mentions like madurolla, you just gotta lay that in. 253 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 5: Just use as a normal American accent for everything else. 254 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 4: If you can understand what the heck she means here, 255 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 4: please send us an email Freedom at Charliekirk dot com 256 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 4: two eighty six. 257 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 8: I think what we identify is that in a rules 258 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 8: based order, hypocrisy is vulnerability, and so I think what 259 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 8: we are seeking is a return to a rules based 260 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 8: order that eliminates the hypocrisies around when too often in 261 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 8: the West we'd look the other way for inconvenient populations 262 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 8: to act out these paradoxes. 263 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 6: Don't you just this is getting way ahead of things. 264 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 6: But wouldn't it just be amazing to see like Ruby 265 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 6: o versus aoc on like. 266 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 3: A VP debate stage.

Why do we need to save America Act? 337 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 1: We need to save America Act in a nutshell because 338 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: an existing federal law, a National Voter Registration Act or MVRA, 339 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: sometimes not as the Motor Voter Law, passed in nineteen 340 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: ninety three, allows people to register to vote in almost 341 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: every state simpler by going to a DMV filling out 342 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: a form, checking a box saying yes, I'd like to 343 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: register to vote, and then signing their name saying yes, 344 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 1: I'm eligible to vote, meaning I'm a citizen and otherwise 345 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: legally allowed to vote. And a couple of decades after 346 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: this law was enacted, in a little known ruling and 347 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: State of Arizona versus Inner Tribal Council, the Supreme Court 348 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: interpreted that same law as saying that states may not 349 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: under the MVRA, concluding if the states had been preempted 350 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: from either inquiring into the possibility of a need to 351 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: verify citizenship on the part of somebody who would applied 352 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: to register to vote using an MVRA form. In other words, 353 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: states may not ask for proof of citizenship in that context. Well, 354 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: even since that ruling a few years ago, even since 355 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: that ruling, a lot of other things have gotten worse 356 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: that have made that problem really compound in the order 357 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: of magnitude of a problem that it creates. Remember, in 358 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: the four year period between twenty twenty one to twenty 359 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: twenty five, we had ten or fifteen million people cross 360 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 1: our borders unlawfully. We've now gotten excess of somewhere in 361 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: the range of about thirty million non citizens residing in 362 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: this country. We've got trend over the last twenty five 363 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: years of more and more states issuing driver's licenses to 364 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 1: non citizens. Nearly every state does that. About nineteen states 365 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 1: issue driver's license even to people who are known illegal immigrants. 366 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: And so all of this means that it's more easy 367 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: than ever and more likely than effort. Somebody could go 368 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: and apply for a driver's license, whether they mean to 369 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,959 Speaker 1: or not. They can check that box, sign their name 370 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: at the bottom of the forum, and presto, they are 371 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,400 Speaker 1: now registered voters in the United States. So the same 372 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: America Act was introduced to close that loophole, a loophole 373 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: created by existing federal law. And you know, they look. 374 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: The validity, the vitality of our constitutional republic depends on 375 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: the security of our elections. Our elections cannot be secure 376 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: as long as we've got that gaping loophole in there. 377 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: We've got to close it. 378 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you say here in your write up here, 379 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 4: you know, it's basic common sense, completely agree. You say, 380 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 4: we require documentation proving our identity and eligibility to board planes, 381 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 4: by alcohol, receive welfare cash checks, by firearms, by hunting 382 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 4: and fishing licenses, pickup tickets, and participate many political activities, 383 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:02,440 Speaker 4: you know. 384 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 3: And it's it is just this. 385 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 4: Wild thing where we have this carve out that seems 386 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,120 Speaker 4: to defy all. 387 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 3: Common sense and all logic. 388 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 4: This is a twenty twenty four clip from Colorado Secretary 389 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 4: of State Jenna Griswold where she sent out thirty thousand 390 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 4: mailers to illegals tell him. 391 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 3: The register to vote. It's a true story two forty five. 392 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 10: In twenty twenty two, your office sent out mailers to 393 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 10: thirty thousand non citizens inviting them to register to vote. 394 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 2: They, of course, are not eligible. 395 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 10: To register to vote. That same year, your office used 396 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 10: Colorado's ballot tracking system to send messages to specific Colorado's 397 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 10: encouraging them to vote when in fact they had already voted. 398 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that seems like a full proof system that 399 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 4: they have over there. And then this is a colleague 400 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 4: of yours in the Senate, Sir, It's Alex Padilla, and 401 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 4: he says he has some harsh words for your Save 402 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 4: Act here two eighty three. 403 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 9: Absolutely nonsensical. I mean to insist on bringing your birth 404 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 9: certificate or a passport. Most a lot of Americans don't 405 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 9: even have a passport, because that everybody travels internationally. It's 406 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 9: the equivalent of a show me your papers law to 407 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 9: be able to exercise your fundamental constitutional right to vote. 408 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 4: Senator Mike Lee, your response to your colleague in the 409 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 4: Senate there, show me your papers. 410 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: That's paranoid fantasy, and that's the sort of rage baiting 411 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: that we've got to resist, like the plague in this country. 412 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: He's absolutely wrong. He couldn't be any more mistaken. First 413 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: of all, insofar as he's playing that you've got to 414 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: show up with your birth certificate or a passport at 415 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: the tunnel voting, that's not true. You do have to 416 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: prove citizenship or the tone of voter registration because Remember, 417 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 1: the Save America Act requires two things. Document your citizenship 418 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: at the time you register to vote, and then thereafter 419 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 1: having registered to vote. Once you've done so, on the 420 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: day of voting, at the moment you vote, you're supposed 421 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: to show up at the polling place with some sort 422 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: of government issued ID, not the full documentation of your citizenship, 423 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: but just some sort of government issued photo ID to 424 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: prove that you are who you say you are, to 425 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: prove that you are the same person listed on that 426 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: voter registration that you previously registered for. This is not 427 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: that hard. And as far as this being a fundamental right, yeah, 428 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: it is. That is a fundamental incident of citizenship. Of 429 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 1: citizenship and citizenship and the vote that comes with it 430 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: means less when we allow people who are not citizens 431 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: to vote. And that's a real problem insofar as suggesting 432 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: that constitutionally protected right like the right to vote cannot 433 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: ever be accompanied by documentation requirements, that's nonsense. We do 434 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: it all the time. You know, you're also constitutionally protected 435 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: in your right to own, possess, and guests purchase a firearm. 436 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 1: And yet if anyone who's ever purchased a firearm from 437 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: an early licensed firearm. Steeler knows that you've got to 438 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: fill up forms, you've got to provide documentation showing who 439 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: you are, and you've got to wait while they process that. 440 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: So this is absolute nonsense. Look, our objective here, andrews 441 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat. 442 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: The Save America Act accomplishes both of those purposes. That 443 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 1: Democrats want only one of them, and that's a problem. 444 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 4: So then the question then becomes, Senator, how do we 445 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 4: get this over the finish line? The House to save 446 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 4: the has passed the Save Act. I know it's gone 447 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 4: back to the House for different amendments, but Thune has 448 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 4: now become a co signer of the bill. You've got 449 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 4: this filibuster issue. You have been advocating for nuking the 450 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 4: zombie filibuster. What does that mean? Is that still what 451 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 4: you're pursuing and what would it entail? 452 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, So the zombie solibuster is the name that I 453 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: have administered, that I've given to the process by which 454 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:04,239 Speaker 1: filibustering for often happens these days. A filipbuster refers to 455 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: the long standing Senate tradition and principle, backed up by 456 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: Senate rules, that protects open ended theoretically unlimited debate, subject 457 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: to certain exceptions. But from the very beginning of the Republic, 458 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: since the Constitution was ratified and the Senate first began 459 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: its operations in the late seventeen hundreds, there have always 460 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: been there's always been an understanding that you've got to 461 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: speak to filibuster. Over the last few decades, we've gotten lazy, 462 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: we've gotten weak, some of these muscles have atrophied due 463 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: to non use of those muscles, and we've gotten accustomed 464 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 1: to the idea that you can filibuster without actually going 465 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: to the Senate chamber and standing up, seeking recognition, obtaining recognition, 466 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: standing up and speaking. That's what it's supposed to entail. 467 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: So what we mean when we say it's time to 468 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: fitch the not the filibuster, is just enforce existing Senate rules. 469 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: Make senators speak if they want a filibuster, and when 470 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 1: they exhaust themselves either physically or under the Senate rules 471 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: to speak, then we call the question, and the question 472 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: is called it a simple majority vote. They shouldn't get 473 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: the chance every single time to just say, well, I 474 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: don't like this, and you don't have sixty votes to 475 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: achieve culture without me. Its vulture is a vote under 476 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: Rule twenty two of the Senate that allows you to 477 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: force debate to a close even if a subset a 478 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,160 Speaker 1: minority of senators want to continue speaking. You can force 479 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: debate to a close if you could get the sixty votes. 480 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean it's the only way to pass 481 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 1: a bill. Sometimes you can get there through exhaustion, and 482 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: that's what I'm advocating here. That's the way we're going 483 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: to pass the Save America Act. 484 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 4: Do you feel any momentum with Leader Thoon that he 485 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 4: would be willing you say? Here in your Twitter you 486 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 4: said Senate Rule nineteen enforce the talking film buster by 487 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 4: inter aliot. Do you do you feel like he's going 488 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 4: to do this? Is he on board? Is there any momentum? 489 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 1: Okay, I'll never speak for a colleague, but I will 490 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: say this, I have aggressively made the case to lead 491 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: your Phone and to my colleagues about the need to 492 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 1: do this, and I'll say that he's got another advisement. 493 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: I've had extensive conversations with President Trump as well. He 494 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: loves the idea, and I believe he's having conversations with 495 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: later Phone as well. So all with them, this sound 496 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,160 Speaker 1: of my voice. Reach out to your senators, encourage them 497 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: to pass this. Tell them it matters. And if not us, 498 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: who if not now? When this thing matters. If we 499 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: want to hold onto these majorities in twenty twenty six, 500 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: we've got to act.

I'm not exactly sure 507 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 4: what he means that. I'm assuming some sort of executive order. 508 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 4: But President Trump is taking this very seriously, and hopefully 509 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 4: your senator is as well.

I believe that the 609 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 6: Bible said God created man in his image. To say 610 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 6: we have super smart, powerful aliens would go against that. 611 00:33:59,040 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 5: You know that gets there. 612 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 6: There's some fun like Christian sci fi out there that 613 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 6: will dwell on the question. 614 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 5: Like Okay, if aliens exist, would we. 615 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,319 Speaker 6: Have to evangelize them? Or like would God have to 616 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 6: also do an incarnation for them? 617 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,400 Speaker 3: You know what's interesting is that see us loose wrestled 618 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 3: with this. 619 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,879 Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been reading the Space trilogy, so I read 620 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,640 Speaker 6: that Hideous Strength over Christmas. Now I'm reading Perilandra. I 621 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 6: want to recommend that to everyone watching. It's a very 622 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 6: interesting book, Parlandra. The plot is it's before it's pre 623 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 6: spaceflight sci fi, so we don't know anything about the planet. 624 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 6: So it takes place on Venus, which we could not 625 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 6: actually visit. It turns out, but he has Venus as 626 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:39,600 Speaker 6: a habitable planet, and the main character basically intervenes on 627 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 6: the planet at the moment where like each planet kind 628 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 6: of has its own creations by God, and so he 629 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 6: arrives on the planet and it's newer, it's a younger 630 00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 6: planet than Earth, and so He basically arrives in its 631 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 6: version of the Garden of Eden right when Satan shows 632 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 6: up to try to make its version of eve Fall, 633 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 6: and he has to like interven it. It's crazy book 634 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,839 Speaker 6: and it's not. It's on two hundred pages, so I'll 635 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 6: tell everyone to check that book out. 636 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 3: What's called Perlandra and it's written by C. S. 637 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 9: Lewis. 638 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 3: I didn't really Suit says aliens are real. 639 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 4: They're called dema rats, you know, with the rest, but 640 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 4: they come from the depths of Hell. 641 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 5: I had no absolutely not interesting. 642 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 4: I'm surprised to see so many people say that aliens 643 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 4: aren't real. I actually am in the vast expanse that 644 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 4: is space. And by the way, as a Christian, I 645 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,280 Speaker 4: don't feel like that challenge is my faith at all. Actually, 646 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,399 Speaker 4: because God is the ultimate creator, He's infinitely creative, and 647 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,800 Speaker 4: I don't think that would make us less special. 648 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 3: I think that's basically where C. S. Lewis sort of 649 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 3: ultimately lands. 650 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 4: So I'm I admit, admittedly, I'm I'm, I'm it's very interesting. 651 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 6: The Space trilogy kind of the core concept is what 652 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 6: if there was life on every other planet, but Earth 653 00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 6: was the only one that fell and so like we 654 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 6: had to have the incarnation to save us. Everyone else 655 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 6: did not sin it some very interesting stuff, and Strength. 656 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,760 Speaker 4: Says demons are among us. They can appear as anything. 657 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 4: Aliens and demons is just connecting. Listen, there's a lot 658 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:11,799 Speaker 4: of people that think that. 659 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 3: Sort of thing. 660 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 5: For more on many of these stories and news you 661 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 5: can trust, go to Charliekirk dot com.
