1 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: The Charlie Kirk Show starts now. 2 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 2: Over the last year, President Trump has been engaged in 3 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 2: a dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country. He 4 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 2: is restoring gun rights to felons and people who have 5 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 2: lost their ability to buy guns. He eliminated the White 6 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 2: House Office of Gun Violence to Protection, and he has 7 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 2: stopped funding mental health grants and community anti gun violence 8 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 2: grants that Republicans and Democrats supported in that twenty twenty 9 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 2: two bill. So he has been engaged in a pretty 10 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 2: deliberate campaign to try to make violence more likely in 11 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 2: this country. 12 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 3: This is very simple. We right now have a white 13 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 3: supremacist that is sitting in the White House. He is 14 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 3: backed up by other white supremacists. And if you really 15 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 3: want to know who the criminals are in this country, 16 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 3: you can google it. You don't have to trust me, 17 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 3: But the people that commit eighty percent of the most 18 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 3: violent crimes in this country are white supremacists. Yet, for 19 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 3: whatever reason, they sit and they serve at the pleasure 20 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 3: of the president. They are the ones that were there 21 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 3: on January sixth tearing our democracy down physically, and now 22 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 3: we have them tearing us down right here from within. 23 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 4: During this Barry wise CBS takeover in her first town 24 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 4: hall is to roll out Erica Kirk. That's all they 25 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 4: covered for a week straight. It's CBS News and listen up, listener. 26 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 4: We have agency and we have autonomy. Everybody needs to 27 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 4: boycott CBS News. They do not get to just come 28 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 4: in and say journalism doesn't matter anymore. We're going to 29 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 4: do a propaganda channel. Well, they can do it, but 30 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 4: they can do it without our money. They cannot do 31 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 4: it without our money. They cannot do it if we 32 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 4: apply pressure to those advertisers. All of these fascists and 33 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 4: all of these oligarchs thinks they control us, and it's 34 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 4: our turn to remind them that we control them. Without 35 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 4: our money, you're nothing, absolutely nothing. Look at what happened 36 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 4: with Jimmy Kimmel. 37 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 5: Former commander who's currently suspended for allegedly tampering with crime. 38 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: Stats in his own district. 39 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 6: And these are some of the. 40 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 5: Conclusions they've made in their report. Number one, they alleged 41 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 5: that DC Metro Police Chief Pamela Smith pressured commanders to 42 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 5: report lower crime stats by any means necessary. Commanders testify 43 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 5: that Chief Smith pushed them to pursue lesser charges that 44 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 5: aren't publicly reported, even for serious crimes, and she also 45 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 5: required certain crimes to be reviewed by her office. 46 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 7: I don't see any evidence of that if the claim is, 47 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 7: and I don't think anybody is demonstrated that the police 48 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 7: chief directed anybody to change numbers when those when the 49 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 7: committee provides me their backup information, which they haven't when 50 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 7: the committee provided the report to the Washington Post before 51 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 7: they provided it to us. Highly unusual when you're talking 52 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 7: about an audit of numbers. 53 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 8: Under the nose of Ilan o'mach, Tim Wat's attorney general, 54 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 8: Keith Ellison, we see a web of connections between them 55 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 8: and those directly involved in the fraud. For example, Ilan 56 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 8: Omer alleged enabling introducing the twenty twenty Meals Act, which 57 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 8: was ultimately subject to fraud. Hella campaign victory party at 58 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 8: the Safari restaurant. That's where one of the men who 59 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 8: run that restaurant has associations to the convicted individuals. And 60 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 8: then there's Tim Walls House Oversight investigation role in his 61 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 8: role as governor or, Keith Ellison, the attorney general. 62 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 6: His job is to enforce the law in. 63 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 8: Minnesota, but instead he's getting donations after meeting with the 64 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,839 Speaker 8: feeding our future, representatives fitting our future. The biggest known 65 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 8: yet part of this entire fraud. 66 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: Excuse me, theft. 67 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 9: America Fest is the starting point for us to take 68 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 9: America to greater heights in twenty twenty five.

A ton of young white 167 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 14: guys get did you want to go there trying to 168 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 14: be a writer? 169 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: I was trying to be a You have no idea 170 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: how like internalized this was. 171 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 14: Exactly exactly, So that's a job A ton of I mean, 172 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 14: you know, artsy young men, they want to be a 173 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 14: lot of them want to be journalists, some of them 174 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 14: want to be film writers, some of them want to 175 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 14: go into academia. 176 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: And it's really focused on those art industries. What's interesting though, 177 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: as somebody lived this a little bit, it wasn't really 178 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: artsy young man. It's really analytical, sharp minded. That's the 179 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: people that are driven to go into the right and 180 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: producing fields there. If they were in a different city, 181 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: they would have been you know, engineers. I'm not kidding. 182 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: It's like the same thing. It's the same profile. These 183 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: are like well, even the engineers get hit. 184 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 14: So it's pro focusing on especially those slightly more creative 185 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 14: fields or academic it's a creatimia journalism, arts, creativity and 186 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 14: how around twenty fourteen you start getting the woke bubble, 187 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 14: which is, you know, you need more diversity in all things. 188 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 14: You need to have more women, women of color, people 189 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 14: of color. 190 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 1: It's the line they had. 191 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 14: It reminds us of things that were viral a decade 192 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 14: ago that people have forgotten. Like there was a thing 193 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 14: called Oscar's So White. 194 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: It was a hashtag. We s have hashtag campaigns before 195 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: it bought X. He got rid of the hashtags. May 196 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: you got Chris Rock to host the Oscars? 197 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 14: Yeah, And Oscar So White was just everyone nominated for 198 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 14: the acting the major acting categories was white that year. 199 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: Okay. 200 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 14: And so suddenly there was just this demand you need 201 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 14: to have diversity. And what it points out again and 202 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 14: again is the boomers and Gen xers. There's all these older, 203 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 14: older white men who actually are already established in fields, 204 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 14: and they just froze it in amber. And so what 205 00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 14: it became was they would just have everyone beneath them 206 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 14: would be used to hit those diversity metrics. So it's not, oh, 207 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 14: we're going to increase diversity by making fifteen percent of 208 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 14: the established people leave and replace them. It's we're going 209 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 14: to just categorically eliminate young white men from the pipeline 210 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 14: for all of these jobs. And that's exactly it turns 211 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 14: out exactly. 212 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: What it looks like. 213 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 14: All of these people who are wanted to go into 214 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 14: these fields, they just could not get jobs in them 215 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 14: at all. And you really think what sort of impact 216 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 14: that has to be on one psychology, which I know 217 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 14: people who have gone through that. 218 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: I can absolutely say, very certainly, I experienced just this. Yeah, 219 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: I experienced just this when I was living in LA 220 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: where it was common just to say, oh, well, too bad, 221 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: you're a white guy. You know it would this would 222 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: be a lot easier if you if you had something 223 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: we could throw out there, like are you gay? I'm 224 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 1: not even kidding they say that, they mentioned being gay. 225 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 14: They always will have something, they'll be something, they'll have 226 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 14: like some American Indian ancestry. 227 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: They pulled the Warren and I was I was literally like, no, 228 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: I'm a white, heterosexual Christian. Yeah, and they're like sorry, 229 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: good luck, And then the number is in here. It's 230 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: worth reading just for all of the numbers. 231 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 14: In twenty eleven, fourteen years ago, white men were forty 232 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 14: eight percent of low level TV writers. In twenty twenty four, 233 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 14: thirteen years later, they were eleven point nine percent. 234 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: That's dramatic. In let's see, Harvard staff went from fifty 235 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: three percent white and eighty or fifty three percent male 236 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: and eighty nine percent white in twenty thirteen to thirty 237 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: six six percent male and sixty six percent white. 238 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 14: Tenure track faculty at Harvard thirty nine percent white men 239 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 14: in the humanities to eighteen percent. And when that means 240 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 14: is if you're dropping that much and you're not cutting 241 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 14: off the people who are in early, it's that it's 242 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 14: a total off at the bottom. 243 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: And so you just took a group white men. 244 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 14: There's still about twenty five percent of young American adults 245 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 14: a little bit more even twenty five to thirty percent, 246 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 14: and let's be frank they're a pretty talented thirty percent. 247 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 14: They're more likely to complete college, more likely to develop 248 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 14: a lot of skills than some other groups that have 249 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 14: been favored in America the last decade. And yet they're 250 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 14: just treated as practical untouchables in a huge number of fields. 251 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 14: And it's bad for them. It's totally derailed their lives 252 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 14: because if you were subject of this discrimination for the 253 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 14: past five years, ten years, that ruins your career. That's 254 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 14: the period where you need to get off the ground, 255 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 14: and you're just stuck in entry level stuff, And on 256 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 14: top of that, it fried American meritocracy. Why are TV 257 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 14: shows so bad? Maybe because they didn't hire good writers 258 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 14: to do it. Why is z academia so rotten because 259 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,839 Speaker 14: they hired only people who filled a racial checkbox instead 260 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 14: of the best scholars. 261 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: Over and over they do that. 262 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 14: And I'm sure our view are listeners they may have 263 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 14: lived this themselves. Or if you're a parent, you may 264 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 14: have seen your son struggle through this because he couldn't 265 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 14: get a foot in the door anywhere and it wasn't 266 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 14: really his fault. 267 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I And not to mention we talk about student 268 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: loans pushing off family formation or whatever, right buying a home. Well, 269 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: if you can't even get into the job market, if 270 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: you can't start the career to get up to the 271 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: rungs of power to earn more money, then that's why 272 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: marriage rates are going to collapse. That's why fertility rates 273 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: are going to collapse. I'm sorry, but white men still 274 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: make up a huge portion of the of the country. 275 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 14: The line they're using lost generation Anthony one of our listeners' emails. 276 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 14: He says, I am a millennial and we're often called 277 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 14: a lost generation.

Compact Magazine, Anti White Stuff. 329 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 1: I mean, there was this in the Lost Generation. 330 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 14: I think that's actually the way we link it with 331 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 14: this weed story, because that's a good point. 332 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 1: Charlie would talk about this. 333 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 14: There's this real sense of compared to a lot of drugs, marijuana, 334 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 14: whether you support legalizing it or not, there's this big 335 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 14: Charlie would talk about this. It's a drug that sort 336 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 14: of dulls the stoles the mind. There is, for a 337 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 14: good reason, a strong association with between being a really 338 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 14: heavy marijuana user and just being kind of a loser. 339 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'll never forget. When I was going 340 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: back to my LA days, I remember I met this 341 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: one guy, believe it or not. He was a worship leader. 342 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: Oh wow, and he was an avid marijuana user. But 343 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: he was like, if I don't use it, I will 344 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: get massively depressed. And he would. He acknowledged he has 345 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: he had an addiction, he had a problem. I just thought, 346 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: why would you ever want to be stuck on something 347 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: that has so much mastery over you? You know, and 348 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: and anyways, But a couple of things that we need 349 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: to sort of establish here. If you are find yourself 350 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 1: of a certain generation and you and you still think, 351 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: you know, weed's fine, It's not the worst thing. Modern 352 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: weed is not at all what like you know, the 353 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: hippie era. It's stronger stuff, strong, way more potent, way 354 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: more potent. So let's do it this way. Actually, I'm 355 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: going to give Trump some credit here. Uh, this is 356 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: Trump on fentanyl, and he is a thousand percent spot 357 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: on play cut one sixty five. 358 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 16: Today, I'm taking one more step to protect Americans from 359 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 16: the scourge of deadly fentanyl flooding into our country with 360 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 16: this historic executive order I will signed today. We're formerly 361 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 16: class sifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass. 362 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 17: Destruction, which is what it is. 363 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 16: No bomb does what this is doing. Two hundred to 364 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 16: three hundred thousand people die every year that we know. 365 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 16: So we're formally classifying fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction. 366 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: We I mean, listen, it's a funny classification. It's a 367 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: funny classification, but candidly, you know, and we used to 368 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: talk about this with Charlie all the time. The drug 369 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: epidemic kills more people than Ukraine, or kills more Americans 370 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 1: than you know, basically anything. I'm just thinking about how 371 00:19:58,320 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: that classification. 372 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 14: I have to imagine that means if you're transporting like 373 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 14: fentsonal ingredients, they can just throw you in prison. 374 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: For life or bomb your boat. 375 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 14: Yeah yeah, because you know, attempting to make weapons of 376 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 14: mass destruction is a super duper federal terrorism. 377 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. But here's here's the other side of the drug 378 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: news today, which is interesting. We have so much drug news. 379 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: Uh CNN says that President Trump is considering, uh well, 380 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: changing the classification of weed, I think is the right 381 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: way to say it. Some are saying legalize marijuana. I'm 382 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: not I'm not sure exactly he said. He said himself 383 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: he's considering. He was asked in the Oval Office free safety. 384 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 14: He says, we're considering it, and it would be a 385 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,880 Speaker 14: reclassification from Schedule one. I believe to Schedule three, right. 386 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 14: Schedule one is sort of the most restricted, most controlled drugs. 387 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 14: The other stuff on it, Uh, there's stuff like heroin, 388 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 14: meth those are Schedule one drugs. Schedule three in comparison, 389 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 14: is ketamine, steroids, testosterone. 390 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 1: What do you would say, ketamine? It's on the list 391 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: in the hills. In the hills, indeed. 392 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 14: But I hardly thought a lot about this, and it 393 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 14: was one of the controversial things he said at least 394 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,480 Speaker 14: once multiple times. I think that this is one of 395 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 14: his positions that got him the most pushback on campus areas, 396 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 14: much more more than his abortion views, which is he 397 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 14: just he opposed legalizing weed. A lot of young people 398 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 14: really like it, but I think I do. At the 399 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 14: same time, I think the tide is shifting a bit. 400 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 14: I think we probably reached peak marijuana enthusiasm. 401 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,160 Speaker 1: Made and that win in Florida. Yeah, maybe let's let's 402 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: play the clip here when eighty two his is from CNN. 403 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 18: President could use in fact against his Democratic opposition and 404 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 18: say Hey, you know what, Democrats have talked the talk, 405 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 18: but I'm actually going to walk the walk when it 406 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 18: comes to legalizing marijuana. 407 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 19: Okay, so what are the prediction markets saying about the 408 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 19: chances then here? 409 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 18: Yeah, okay, so what's the chance that this actually happens. 410 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 18: I think there's a pretty gosh darn good chance it's 411 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 18: going to happen, at least according to the prediction markets. 412 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 18: So the chance that the US reschedule is marijuana before 413 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 18: the end of Trump's term. 414 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 6: Look at this eighty eight percent. 415 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 14: You know, it's funny because you see seventy two percent 416 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 14: of young people approve of it, and maybe they do, 417 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 14: but I just I hope it changes because you can 418 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 14: smell it here in Phoenix. You can smell it a 419 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 14: ton if you're in DC. It's really disgusting. I think 420 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 14: it's a big driver of making public places feel dirtier. 421 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 14: It's a much more rank smell than even cigarette smoke 422 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 14: was in the past. I think Charlie had very good 423 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 14: reason to dislike it. Yeah, so I'm hopeful if they 424 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 14: don't reclassify it. 425 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 1: We have a clip from Charlie that I wish we 426 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: could have got to. But it's I Listen, I think 427 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: I think the prediction markets are probably right. Yeah, Trump 428 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: seeing a political opportunity. But listen, sometimes we disagree with 429 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: the president. I remember Charlie was actually asked by our 430 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: next guest, Mark Alburn, what do you disagree with on 431 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: the president? And he said, weed. Yeah, one, you know it. Listen, 432 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: we still disagree. I think it's a loser drug. I 433 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 1: get it why people try and bend their rationale to 434 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: make it something less than that. I'm telling you modern weed, 435 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: especially when you take it young, could really cause mental illness. 436 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 14: It's a drug you could argue legalize it if you're 437 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 14: after thirty or something because it really cooks a developing. 438 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: It does, and so do not take it lightly. We're 439 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 1: also going to have a debate on weed. I'm going 440 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: to be moderating it at amfests, so Alex Barentson and 441 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: the editor in chief of Reason every We'll be right 442 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: back with Mark Helplin. 443 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 20: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break.

The current 449 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 20: iteration replaces the Armed Forces Service Medal. This year, thirteen 450 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 20: recipients were honored for their work securing the US Mexico border. 451 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 21: So twenty five thousand Americans qualify for this Mexican National 452 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 21: Defense Border metal that we're announcing today. And what's cool 453 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 21: about this medal, it was actually first given out in 454 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 21: nineteen eighteen, So we're reviving an old medal that existed, 455 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 21: was given two men and women who defended the southern border. 456 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 6: We found out about it. 457 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 21: We used the exact same foundry, with the exact same imagery, 458 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 21: same color, same metal, same everything. So our men and 459 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 21: women will be wearing that very same medal as Americans 460 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 21: one hundred years before who were asked to defend the 461 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 21: sovereignty of our country. 462 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 20: During that same ceremony, President Trump signed an executive order 463 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 20: declaring fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction. The administration says 464 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 20: a majority of the deadly fentanyl on the nation streets 465 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 20: enters the United States from across the southern border. In 466 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 20: other headlines this morning, let's continue to roll all of 467 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,719 Speaker 20: this up to the next story in other headlines as 468 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 20: I was saying.

While the 479 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 20: broadcaster apologized to President Trump last month, it also denied 480 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 20: that it tried to defame him. Now to new information 481 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 20: on the deadly attack at Sydney, Australia's Bondi Beach, we 482 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 20: are now learning that isis inspired that attack.

I've gotten 530 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: blown up by like five or six reporters this morning 531 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 1: about what do you make of the Susie thing? What 532 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: do you know? And I was like, no comment, I 533 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: don't know, we're going to say that for the show 534 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: Mark what do we make of this? She called jd 535 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: Vance a conspiracy theorist. 536 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 14: Caught Musk taking drugs ketamine, which I don't think is 537 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 14: actually that's not secret, called him an odd duck. If 538 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 14: he's admitted he's taken it, him continuing to take it 539 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 14: is more. 540 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: We just sort of knew he kept taking it, but 541 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's just Muskus. It must is 542 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: an odd duck. What do we make of this? A 543 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: lot of people say that this is that she was, 544 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: This is her her exit plan. I'm hearing other people 545 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: say they thought it was for a book interview that 546 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: was going to that was going to come out after 547 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: the ADMIN. What's the truth? 548 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 22: Well, first of all, a normal White House official who 549 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 22: said these things would be fired, but instead you're sitting 550 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 22: rallying around Susie can go on X and see plenty 551 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 22: of people senators and White House officials saying, you know, 552 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 22: we love Susie, echoing her line that this was all 553 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 22: immediate hit job, and the Vice president was asked about it. 554 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 11: He was pretty supportive too. 555 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 22: My guess, and I don't know this, but my guess, 556 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,600 Speaker 22: just from knowing the two people involved, the guy who 557 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 22: was writing it down and the white hat step and staff, 558 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 22: is my guess is she thought this stuff was off 559 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 22: the record. That would be my guest, and she didn't 560 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 22: intend to say it. Now, some of it, you guys 561 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 22: just said, it's not super controversial, and some of it's 562 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 22: emphatically true, but it's a little bit off keep for 563 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 22: her to be saying. She's not someone who seeks the limelight. 564 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 22: She's not someone it's the opposite. 565 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 11: She puts a. 566 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 22: Premial on people getting along. So, like I said, if 567 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 22: I had to guess, I guess that she didn't think 568 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,959 Speaker 22: this stuff was for publication. It was a misunderstanding between 569 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 22: her and Chris Whipple. 570 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's put up one seventy one. This is 571 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,719 Speaker 1: her tweet, She says. The article published earlier early this 572 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: morning is a disingenuous, framed hit piece on me and 573 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: the finest president white House staff cabinet in history. Significant 574 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: content context was disregarded, and much of what I and 575 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 1: others said about the team, and the president was left 576 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: out of the story. So the part that I that 577 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 1: doesn't square with a lot of people, though, Mark is uh, 578 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 1: and she goes on to praise the Trump administration. The 579 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: part that I can't square here is that there's this 580 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: picture of all of them posing. You know, Caroline Levitt 581 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: is there right, there's the picture, so obviously they this 582 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: was you know, they weren't done under this interview was 583 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: not done under duress or something. So why the picture 584 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: does that? What does that tell you? 585 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 11: Do you know who? 586 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 22: I feel sorry for now? I feel sorry for people 587 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 22: only listening to this as a podcast, because man, that's 588 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 22: an awesome picture. It is striking. It's like it's like 589 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 22: it's like the Avengers meet the West Wing. 590 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 11: Look. 591 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 22: Look, she obviously talked to the guy. And it'll be interesting 592 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 22: to see if this does escalate her claim that the 593 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 22: context is missing. If the guy really does have audio 594 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 22: tapes of everything, we'll see if the context is missing. 595 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 22: The reality is, you guys know how a lot of 596 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 22: reporters are. And I'm not accusing Chris Whipple of this 597 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 22: because I haven't heard the whole thing, but I've been 598 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 22: in joint interviews with reporters where they'll say they'll say, like, uh, you. 599 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 11: Know, we're colleague mister Jones. What's he like? 600 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 22: Oh he's awesome. What's mister Jones like? He's awesome? What's 601 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 22: mister Jon's like? Oh he's great. What's mister Jones like? 602 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 22: I really like mister Jones. Seriously, a lot of people 603 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 22: don't really like mister Jones. Are you sure you like 604 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 22: mister Jones? You say, well, there are some people who 605 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 22: don't really. 606 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 11: Like mister Jones. 607 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 22: And then the story comes out and it says we 608 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 22: asked them and they said there's some people who don't 609 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 22: like mister Jones's. It's like, it's like, you know, she 610 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 22: could be right. It wouldn't be the first time a 611 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 22: reporter took the context away. But let's see if they're 612 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 22: audio tap. But but again, it's an interesting story. I 613 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 22: know why you guys are talking about it. I talked 614 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 22: about it on my show. I'll talk about it on 615 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 22: my show later today. But the norm of a situation 616 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 22: like this where people say, is Trump mad at her? 617 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 11: Is she going to lose her job? 618 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 22: I just don't think that's even a possibility because of 619 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 22: how well liked Susie is and what a great job 620 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 22: the President and other people in the White House things 621 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 22: she's doing. So let's see if we're still talking about 622 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 22: this tomorrow. Now, if the reporter decides he's got to 623 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 22: put out the context that can keep this thing alive, 624 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 22: because it's easy, it's very right from the Trump playbook 625 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 22: to say hit job. But let's see if it was 626 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 22: actually a hit job. 627 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 14: Well, one question thought I had is they talk about 628 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 14: the prosecutions, you know, sort of the stuff aimed at 629 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 14: Comy at Leticia James, and she talks about that, how 630 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 14: she's sort of tried to put a ninety day cap 631 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 14: I think is the word and the piece on retaliation 632 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 14: type stuff, but that he's going to keep doing it. 633 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 14: Could that lead to judges citing this interview to justify 634 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 14: throwing out charges. And I could see that being away 635 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 14: this would turn the President against Susie if he sees 636 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 14: her as derailing something he really wants to get done. 637 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 22: Yeah, I mean, I theoretically I agree with you. I 638 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 22: don't know that it would be admissible, and I don't 639 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 22: know that that would turn the President against Susie. One 640 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 22: of the things that this will put in short relief 641 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 22: for some is amongst them. Anything Susie has done in 642 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 22: this job that's really well served the president is she 643 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 22: has constrained it. When people say in my business and 644 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 22: Democrats say, you know, Trump justis yes, people around him 645 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 22: unlike in the first terms. Well, the fact is he 646 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 22: had people around him the first term who disagreed with him, 647 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 22: but they did it ineffectively. People like the Secretary of 648 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 22: State Rix Snillerson would disagree with Trump, but he wouldn't 649 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 22: get his way. Trump would just President Trump would do 650 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 22: what he wanted to do. 651 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 11: One of the. 652 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 22: Undertold stories is when Susie Wilde sees a problem or 653 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 22: others do. She's good at talking to the president and 654 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 22: trying to restrain him. So if she restrained in this 655 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 22: area some things, and the article suggests she did probably 656 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 22: in the president's interest and even the president may well 657 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 22: be grateful because he knows sometimes he does go too far. 658 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the reveal, is that this is the restraint Trump. 659 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 10: You know. 660 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,040 Speaker 1: And it's like, yeah, so I got to play this 661 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: clip here, Mark because JD got asked about he had 662 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 1: a big event this morning, and I thought he did 663 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: a brilliant job here one ninety five. 664 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 23: Sometimes I am a conspiracy theorist, but I only believe 665 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 23: in the conspiracy theories that are true. And by the way, 666 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 23: Susie and I have joked in private and in public 667 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 23: about that for a long time. For example, I believed 668 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 23: in the crazy conspiracy theory back in twenty twenty and 669 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 23: that it was stupid to mask three year olds at 670 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 23: the height of the COVID pandemic, that we should actually 671 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:44,760 Speaker 23: let them develop some language skills. You know, I believed 672 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 23: in this crazy conspiracy theory that the media and the 673 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 23: government were covering up the fact that Joe Biden was 674 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 23: clearly unable to do the job. 675 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: I mean, if all we get out of this ultimately 676 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: is another rendition of jd Vance's political talents, then you know, 677 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: so be it. But that is a fun way to 678 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,600 Speaker 1: take it, And you're right. It's almost like what you're 679 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: not hearing is the actual insight here. You're not hearing backbiting, 680 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 1: You're not hearing people going for Susie. But you've heard 681 00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: these rumors too, Mark, that Susie was going to be 682 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: out at the end of the year, that Trump was 683 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,239 Speaker 1: at soured. Do you believe there's any truth to that? 684 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 22: I done first on terms of jd Vance's greatest pivot 685 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 22: since Bob Lanier, just, you know, move right away from trouble. 686 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,680 Speaker 22: I don't believe that's the case. I based on everything 687 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 22: I know. People are very pleased with her, and it's 688 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,320 Speaker 22: hard to do that job for any president, but particularly 689 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 22: for this president with a very strong willed vice president, 690 00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 22: strong wild cabinet, a lot of high wire act operations. 691 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 22: As far as I know, she's been in very good 692 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 22: stead and good standing and very committed to MAGA and 693 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 22: the agenda. You saw her the other day in a 694 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 22: rare interview that she also did. She said, you know, 695 00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,360 Speaker 22: she hadn't told the president yet, but he's going to 696 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 22: be out there doing stuff. And Susie's one of the 697 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 22: few people who's ever been involved in Trump World for 698 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 22: the last decade who really has the confidence to tell 699 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,319 Speaker 22: the president when she thinks he got faith. And I 700 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 22: guess said, I think I used that. I don't know 701 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 22: what he'll think of this interview, but if the vice 702 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,440 Speaker 22: president's an indication she ain't going anywhere, then just going 703 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:18,320 Speaker 22: to joke about. 704 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 11: It, blame the media and move on. 705 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,800 Speaker 1: I got to ask you about this Brown University story. Mark. 706 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 1: I saw some video of you circulating yesterday where you 707 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: said that the parents had been informed that it perhaps 708 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 1: could have been a targeted hit on Ella Cook, obviously 709 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 1: the vice president of the Brown University Republican Club. What 710 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: can you tell us about this? 711 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,959 Speaker 22: Well, just to correct you a little bit, I didn't 712 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 22: say the parents have been informed that I'd been told 713 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,279 Speaker 22: by people that they had been I've not talked to 714 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 22: the parents. I've not talked to law enforcement. So I 715 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 22: don't want to I don't want to spread anything that's false. 716 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 22: I don't want to. 717 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 11: Be involved in it. 718 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: Response. 719 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 22: But this response, this is what This is what I 720 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 22: can say a couple of things. First of all, imagine 721 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,560 Speaker 22: that this shooting occurred on a southern conservative campus, and 722 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,319 Speaker 22: imagine one of the two people killed was the vice 723 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 22: president of the Democrat College for Public Democrats. Imagine what 724 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 22: the media would be saying. And if law enforcement in 725 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:17,279 Speaker 22: a conservative town had done a very bumbling job in 726 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 22: the investigation, imagine what people would be saying. Okay, that's 727 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,839 Speaker 22: number one. Number two, there are some peculiar things here, 728 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 22: besides the fact that law enforcement seems to have done 729 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 22: kind of a bad job. 730 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 11: Though bar. 731 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 22: Most of these killers, they keep firing until they kill 732 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 22: themselves or they're shot by law enforcement or captured. They're 733 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 22: rare that they kill and then leave. This doesn't happen 734 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 22: that often, right, if it's not targeted. And like I said, 735 00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 22: the three separate sources asserted to me that the family 736 00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 22: had been told this. I just don't know if it's true. 737 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 22: I just know that in the absence of clarity of 738 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 22: why this person is still at large and why they 739 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 22: left after killing two people, one of which as this 740 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,480 Speaker 22: young woman. In the absence of clarity, it's notable that 741 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 22: on a very liberal campus you had a very visible 742 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 22: conservative So I just think it's something people, in the 743 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 22: absence of clarity, something we should consider, because imagine if 744 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 22: that's true, it's a very significant and big story. 745 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,640 Speaker 1: It's a huge story, and you know, our thoughts and 746 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: prayers are literally with Ella Cook's family. It's just terrible. 747 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 1: It hits close to home, as you can imagine. Marking 748 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: and of course, yeah, and you mentioned the bumbling investigation. 749 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you got eight hundred cameras on that campus, 750 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,360 Speaker 1: and I'm told that this particular building was on the 751 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,440 Speaker 1: edge of campus, so that's why they were relying on 752 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: ring ring cameras. But either way, it's shocking that we 753 00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: don't have a suspect for something this high profile. Mark Halper, 754 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 1: thank you for making the time. I'm gonna let you 755 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 1: get inside here. 756 00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 11: Good to see you, gentlemen. Right, Happy'll be right. 757 00:38:47,440 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 13: Back letting everyone out. Socialism The Johniekerk Show. 758 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,800 Speaker 1: All right, let's play this weed clip from Charlie. I 759 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,360 Speaker 1: wanted to play it earlier, we didn't get to it 760 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,439 Speaker 1: one ninety three. Now, let's talk about the youth side 761 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: of it. 762 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 9: This is a very important thing because you might say, 763 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 9: but Charlie, if we legalize it, it's all. 764 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,360 Speaker 1: Just going to be parents that have to just parent 765 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: their kids. 766 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:19,839 Speaker 6: Who are you. 767 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 9: To say that if an adult wants to just be 768 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 9: able to get high, they should not be able to 769 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 9: get high. 770 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,200 Speaker 1: It sounds good. 771 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 9: That is an oversimplification of the society we are living in. Firstly, 772 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 9: in legalized states, the perception of marijuana's harm among teenagers 773 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 9: fell by over twenty percent in ten years from the 774 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:45,439 Speaker 9: Monitoring Monitoring the Future survey, making early initiation more likely. 775 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,200 Speaker 9: How about traffic deaths? After Colorado legalized, marijuana related traffic 776 00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,480 Speaker 9: fatalities road rose one hundred and fifty one percent between 777 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 9: twenty thirteen and twenty twenty. 778 00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,960 Speaker 1: Let's do one ninety four as well. 779 00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,720 Speaker 9: Heavy weed users are sixty percent more likely to miss 780 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 9: work seventy five percent more likely to show poor job performance, 781 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 9: according to the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicines. 782 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 1: Let me put pause. 783 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,080 Speaker 9: If we want to defeat the Chinese, is more drug 784 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:19,280 Speaker 9: use better or worse? If we want to go to Mars, 785 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,839 Speaker 9: if we want to build great things, if we want 786 00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,720 Speaker 9: to start new companies, if more employees are using weed, 787 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 9: does that make us stronger or weaker? 788 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:30,880 Speaker 1: I'm with Charlie on all this. 789 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 14: I am, I am. It's he really was. He was 790 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 14: upgrading his message. 791 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,320 Speaker 1: On that more and more. You got to understand there, 792 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: it's like our whole society. The structures that keep it up, 793 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: the institutions, the morals, the values. Is you keep whittling 794 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,120 Speaker 1: away at these things, even if it's on the edges. 795 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,520 Speaker 1: Eventually that gets to the core, and we're seeing that 796 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,120 Speaker 1: across all of our culture. 797 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,560 Speaker 14: Think about what we talked about at the start with 798 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,600 Speaker 14: that article, all the young men just being excluded from 799 00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,399 Speaker 14: every career, and our fix is okay, Well, you can 800 00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:03,600 Speaker 14: now have legal weed and legal gambling and legal every 801 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 14: other addiction ever, and just stay doped up, don't care 802 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 14: that much. Please don't overthrow. 803 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,480 Speaker 1: The play video games, get high vape, and gamble all 804 00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:13,879 Speaker 1: your money away that you don't have because you don't 805 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: have a job. Sounds like a good recipe for success. 806 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 1: We're gonna welcome back radio and just want to say, 807 00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,400 Speaker 1: all right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show, our 808 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: radio audience. I just realized missed all the Charlie clips. 809 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: Do we have any more we had? Yeah? 810 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 9: By the way, the studies are incredible. Heavy marijuana use 811 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 9: is linked to five times higher risk of psychosis and 812 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,360 Speaker 9: young adults from the Lance in Psychiatry twenty nineteen.

President Trump is considering a Medicare 825 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:31,440 Speaker 1: pilot program that would provide some seniors' access to CBD okay, 826 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: and reclassifying marijuana as a Schedule three would ease tax burdens, 827 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:42,120 Speaker 1: banking limits, research barriers, and it could attract institutional pharmaceutical investors. 828 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: What's wrong with that, Blake? 829 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 6: Why? 830 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: I mean, wouldn't it be good? You know, by the way, 831 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,320 Speaker 1: CBD is different than THHD. 832 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:48,719 Speaker 11: Okay? 833 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,480 Speaker 14: Could we just yeah, well, it's very funny because I 834 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:54,839 Speaker 14: remember that. Yeah, I've we've seen some funny stuff with 835 00:42:54,840 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 14: CBD before. What I just remember I think they wanted 836 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 14: to sponsor us once and so we got those freebies 837 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 14: and someone pranked one of our team members by feeding 838 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 14: it to them, and they got all messed up by it. 839 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 14: Really not it was I want to clarify, it was 840 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,320 Speaker 14: not a deliberate thing. Oh so it was a prank, 841 00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 14: but it was it had a very funny outcome. But 842 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,359 Speaker 14: so we do what we do A few emails here, Yeah, 843 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 14: let's do what are people thinking about? 844 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:19,280 Speaker 1: Uh? 845 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:23,320 Speaker 14: Missy says Andrew and Blake. I am so anti weed. 846 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,320 Speaker 14: I have watched and I have seen it ruin people's lives. 847 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,800 Speaker 14: My brother is an avid user who's been using it 848 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,920 Speaker 14: since elementary school. He suffered mental health problems. He self 849 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,719 Speaker 14: medicates with it. It has not served him well. He 850 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:41,080 Speaker 14: is violent, paranoid, has continual police contact. As an older man. 851 00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,880 Speaker 14: He has had kids, married the woman after several years, 852 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,719 Speaker 14: and he lives with them anywhere he is able, which 853 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 14: is they say campgrounds and motels. He's lost the kids, 854 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,239 Speaker 14: they've been removed, but the liberal city they live in 855 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 14: subsidizes their lifestyles. There's stories like that. They're Paul, and 856 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,600 Speaker 14: thank you, that's an amazing email. I mean, horrible subject. 857 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that is hor that's horrible. And by 858 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 1: the way he said, this pastor that would say, you know, 859 00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,719 Speaker 1: if it wasn't for the Lord, that he'd be divorced, childless, 860 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 1: and you know, drunk on his couch at home or something. 861 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 1: I mean, and you've you do hear these stories where 862 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,880 Speaker 1: these vices really do grab one hundred percent of somebody's 863 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,360 Speaker 1: life and they take them down these really destructive paths. 864 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,799 Speaker 1: There's one hundred percent guarantee to not do that, if 865 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,320 Speaker 1: you just don't even try the drugs in the first place. 866 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:30,839 Speaker 1: You know what I mean, if you don't go down 867 00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 1: those routes in the first place. So why is a 868 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,760 Speaker 1: society should we be making it easier for young people 869 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,280 Speaker 1: to use it? And Charlie even quoted that one study 870 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,960 Speaker 1: that it was like the perception of the harms of 871 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:42,879 Speaker 1: marijuana drop. Most people. 872 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 14: Their first thing they think too on whether something is 873 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:47,840 Speaker 14: right or wrong is It's not the Bible. 874 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,600 Speaker 1: It's not really moral reasoning. It's just what's the law saying? 875 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: Is it illegal? Is it illegal? 876 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 14: And that doesn't mean everything we think is wrong should 877 00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,320 Speaker 14: be banned, but it should at least guide our intuitions 878 00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 14: on that sort of thing. Ye, things that are mass 879 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,680 Speaker 14: harmful to society, it might be a good idea to 880 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 14: sharply restrict or ban them. 881 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is where we have to do our job. 882 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:10,360 Speaker 1: I mean, we're not listen, We're we're not There is 883 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 1: a there is a sort of live and let live, 884 00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 1: I would say, aspect to American life, to the American ethos, 885 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,040 Speaker 1: you know, we have a counterpoint. Raven says. 886 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,880 Speaker 14: I'm a sixty five year old grandma with ms I 887 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 14: was a prescribed medication that almost killed me. Now I 888 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:32,240 Speaker 14: use weed and prohibition does not work. My my mom 889 00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:36,280 Speaker 14: uses weed gummies to sleep instead of prescription medication. Maha 890 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 14: has this afraid of everything, including taile and all. Why 891 00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,120 Speaker 14: do you want to take away our weed? 892 00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all. That's a I mean, I'm open minded 893 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:48,120 Speaker 1: to medical for elderly people. You know, glaucoma, what you know, 894 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 1: all of these these uses, I'm open minded to it. 895 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, well, when you when you go on 896 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,319 Speaker 1: these legalization kicks, the people that are going to get 897 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:57,319 Speaker 1: most impacted at young people. 898 00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,040 Speaker 14: It'd be funny if you can just say you have 899 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,560 Speaker 14: to be over fifty or something. And America is so 900 00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 14: not used to having laws like that or used to 901 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 14: just you know, becoming an adult and everything's available, but 902 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,920 Speaker 14: I could. I think it'd be an interesting thing to consider, 903 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,759 Speaker 14: because I do think the harms are so much greater 904 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,120 Speaker 14: for young people that if you're a retiree and you 905 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 14: want to get baked, you're not derailing society in the process. 906 00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:18,120 Speaker 1: Are you? 907 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:18,359 Speaker 24: Though? 908 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's like, honestly, here's here's my thing. 909 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,160 Speaker 1: It's like people make this argument, well, it's not affecting 910 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,839 Speaker 1: anybody else, should I reject that premise completely, because once 911 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,640 Speaker 1: you start removing the stigma from things, once you start 912 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,799 Speaker 1: legalizing things in a general sense, as you saw from 913 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,000 Speaker 1: the study, young people start going, oh, it's not bad, 914 00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:36,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to do it too. 915 00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,400 Speaker 14: China used to be was the world's most powerful country, 916 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,160 Speaker 14: and they went through their central humiliations. 917 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,160 Speaker 1: You know what drove it drug addiction, opium. 918 00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,400 Speaker 14: They all got hooked on opium and they started to 919 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:48,960 Speaker 14: recover when they well, they killed all the opium dealers. 920 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,840 Speaker 1: Well that's I don't think we're ready for that. Although 921 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:54,280 Speaker 1: Trump probably would like to kill all the drug dealers, 922 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:59,000 Speaker 1: So maybe he studies history. Maybe maybe Hour two jam 923 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,600 Speaker 1: Packed will be right back in a few minutes. 924 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 24: Don't go anywhere. 925 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,799 Speaker 20: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. 926 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,000 Speaker 6: I'm Terrence Bates. 927 00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 20: Gold and silver up significantly year to year, even if 928 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 20: there's been a recent easing of the appreciation of those 929 00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:38,160 Speaker 20: two precious medals, and while the first and second quarter 930 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 20: of next year will likely be the proof in the 931 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 20: presidential pudding when it comes to how well President Trump's 932 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,960 Speaker 20: economic policies are doing, gold remains aheage against whatever the 933 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,480 Speaker 20: economy and the stock markets may bring. Philip Patrick is 934 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,279 Speaker 20: a precious metal specialist with the Birch Gold Group. He's 935 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,839 Speaker 20: here now with his perspective on what's to come. 936 00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 6: Philip. 937 00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 20: Always good to see you. 938 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:00,600 Speaker 25: I'm you, Terrence. Thank for having me. 939 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:01,480 Speaker 6: Absolutely. 940 00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,520 Speaker 20: I want to start with the FED, which of course 941 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,360 Speaker 20: is going to be critical. All eyes will be on 942 00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,880 Speaker 20: the FED, particularly moving into twenty twenty six, not just 943 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 20: from a policy perspective, but also from a leadership perspective. 944 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:14,879 Speaker 25: There's no question about it. 945 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 26: All eyes are on the Federal Reserve and trying to 946 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 26: understand what it is they're going to do. Obviously, we've 947 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 26: seen the rate cuts that President Trump was pushing for. 948 00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 26: With a new FEDCHAM and due early next year, that 949 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:32,920 Speaker 26: should push it in the direction President Trump wants lower 950 00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:36,440 Speaker 26: rate which hopefully will stimulate some growth in the economy. 951 00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,520 Speaker 26: I have to say the rate cuts we've got so 952 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:45,520 Speaker 26: far look interesting. The Fed's clearly in a position. Inflation 953 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:48,320 Speaker 26: is still at three percent, so it's fifty percent above 954 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:53,000 Speaker 26: the Federal Reserve's target, Unemployment still historically low at four 955 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,759 Speaker 26: point four percent. What it tells me is that the 956 00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:59,840 Speaker 26: FED are being driven more so by debt management today 957 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,280 Speaker 26: than they are by their dual mandate, and I think 958 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,360 Speaker 26: that may be the name of the game moving forward. 959 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 25: With thirty eight trillion. 960 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,759 Speaker 26: Dollars in debt, it's very difficult for the government to 961 00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,279 Speaker 26: sustain with high interest rates, and even though it's not 962 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 26: the Fed's job, I think they know that, and I 963 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,720 Speaker 26: think ultimately we're heading into an era now of fiscal 964 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,880 Speaker 26: dominance where where debt management becomes the driving force for 965 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:24,760 Speaker 26: the Federal Reserve. 966 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,000 Speaker 20: But isn't there also going to be pressure on whoever 967 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,960 Speaker 20: ultimately is appointed to be the next FED chairman to 968 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,880 Speaker 20: lower interest rates or at least to push for lower 969 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,520 Speaker 20: interest rate policy, given that that's really been President Trump's 970 00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 20: his motivation is to get those interest rates down. 971 00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,600 Speaker 26: The answer is absolutely yes, and there's certainly going to 972 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 26: be pressure from the administration. They need lower rates to 973 00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:54,400 Speaker 26: stimulate economic growth, but more importantly to manage debt debt 974 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:58,360 Speaker 26: service payments, so just the annual interest payments on the debt. 975 00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 26: They're the second biggest thing expense for the federal budget 976 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 26: today for the federal government, sorry. 977 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,040 Speaker 25: After Social Security. 978 00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,719 Speaker 26: If interest rates remain high, that becomes crippling. So by 979 00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:14,320 Speaker 26: driving rates down, it isn't ease eases. Rather the debt burden, 980 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,600 Speaker 26: and I think that's going to be the driving force 981 00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,600 Speaker 26: for the FED more so than anything else, because, like 982 00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:23,800 Speaker 26: I said, the government cannot sustain. Technically, that's not supposed 983 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,880 Speaker 26: to be the Fed's concern. They're supposed to be focused 984 00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 26: purely on maximum employment and price stability. But like I said, 985 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:35,440 Speaker 26: looking at inflation numbers and employment numbers, there's no argument 986 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:37,560 Speaker 26: there to lower rates. So I think it's going to 987 00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:41,439 Speaker 26: be pressure from the administration and ultimately debt service that's 988 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:42,800 Speaker 26: going to drive the decision. 989 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,640 Speaker 20: I suspect you would agree with me if I said 990 00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:50,000 Speaker 20: that these are somewhat uncertain economic times, and typically in 991 00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,880 Speaker 20: uncertain economic times, gold is the perfect hedge. That's what 992 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,640 Speaker 20: you call a softball. Here in the United States, that. 993 00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:58,719 Speaker 25: Is what you call a softball. 994 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,719 Speaker 26: And I have to say, just look at gold and 995 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 26: silver this year. You'd have to take my word for it. 996 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,719 Speaker 26: Gold's up over sixty percent, Silver's up close to one 997 00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:12,600 Speaker 26: hundred percent. They don't move like that historically. That is 998 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:16,359 Speaker 26: a sign of structural changes happening in the economy. You 999 00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:20,520 Speaker 26: can see it globally. Central banks are continuing to set 1000 00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:23,760 Speaker 26: records for gold buying. By the way, the single biggest 1001 00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:27,520 Speaker 26: quarter for gold buying ever in Central bank history was. 1002 00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:28,680 Speaker 25: The last fiscal quarter. 1003 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,919 Speaker 26: So they're buying in higher quantities today than any other 1004 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,479 Speaker 26: period in history and at current prices. And they're doing 1005 00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 26: it because I think they understand the structural shifts that 1006 00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 26: are happening and that means much higher precious metals prices 1007 00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:44,759 Speaker 26: in the short to medium term. 1008 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,160 Speaker 20: Philip, Always good to see you. By the way, you'll 1009 00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,160 Speaker 20: get a kick out of this. My daughter told me 1010 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,520 Speaker 20: that for Christmas she wants a gold cross, and the 1011 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,440 Speaker 20: first thing that came to my mind was, baby, do 1012 00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:56,520 Speaker 20: you have you seen the price of. 1013 00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:57,360 Speaker 1: Gold these days? 1014 00:51:57,600 --> 00:51:59,400 Speaker 6: So it's going to be an. 1015 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:03,080 Speaker 20: Expensive but it's one that obviously will be well worth it. 1016 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,520 Speaker 20: Always good to see you, my friend. Happy holidays and 1017 00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,000 Speaker 20: Merry Christmas to you and your family. 1018 00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,080 Speaker 25: Thank you, Terrence, you too, Thank you. 1019 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:34,839 Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. Over 1020 00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:38,120 Speaker 1: the weekend, of course, there was a terrible attack in 1021 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:44,240 Speaker 1: Bondai Beach where it looks like fifteen were killed, including 1022 00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:48,880 Speaker 1: a ten year old girl. It was a targeted attack 1023 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:55,840 Speaker 1: by jahattist targeting Jews in Bondai Beach and we wanted 1024 00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 1: to bring in Yaile Extein, because she's the president and 1025 00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:02,640 Speaker 1: global CEO of ij the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, 1026 00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:06,960 Speaker 1: to just explain what this terrible attack has meant to 1027 00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:11,360 Speaker 1: our Jewish friends and worldwide and what's being done about it. 1028 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,759 Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. 1029 00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,080 Speaker 17: Thank you so much, Andrew. 1030 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, So, just give us your first impressions when you 1031 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:24,160 Speaker 1: heard this. I mean, obviously after October seventh, everybody's on 1032 00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,920 Speaker 1: height and alert anywhere in the world, actually Jewish communities 1033 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,680 Speaker 1: all over the world. When you see this stuff play out, 1034 00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:32,080 Speaker 1: what's the first thing that comes to mind? 1035 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,400 Speaker 27: Well, the first thing that comes to mind is Charlie 1036 00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,480 Speaker 27: Kirk and all the terror attacks that we've seen based 1037 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 27: on hatred that are directed not only towards Jews, but 1038 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 27: towards Christians as well. And what it makes me realize 1039 00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:50,239 Speaker 27: is that this evil and hatred, it's not something from 1040 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,400 Speaker 27: the history books of the past, but it's something that 1041 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,520 Speaker 27: we're dealing with today. So as I like my Hana 1042 00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,080 Speaker 27: Ka Minora on this holiday and I was just in 1043 00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:02,000 Speaker 27: New York City and saw the Christmas trees all out 1044 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,960 Speaker 27: in the public squares, it makes me recognize that we 1045 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,600 Speaker 27: need to stand together, those of us who sanctify life, 1046 00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:12,280 Speaker 27: against this hatred against Jews and Christians around the world, 1047 00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,200 Speaker 27: in order to bring more light into the world, because, 1048 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,680 Speaker 27: as we see from Christmas and from Khanikah, the answer 1049 00:54:18,719 --> 00:54:22,120 Speaker 27: to darkness is light. That we have to get together 1050 00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:26,080 Speaker 27: and do more good deeds, bring more love to one another. 1051 00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,560 Speaker 27: And I've seen after October seventh how the Fellowship has 1052 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 27: provided over six million meals to people who are hungry. 1053 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,360 Speaker 27: We've placed thousands of bomb shelters, We've gone into Syria 1054 00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:39,680 Speaker 27: to help the persecuted Christians with setting up a medical 1055 00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:44,000 Speaker 27: clinic and distributing food boxes. That Andrew, when I see 1056 00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,239 Speaker 27: this darkness, it just inspires me to bring more light. 1057 00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,200 Speaker 1: That's amazing. Yeah, And that's I mean, I know that's 1058 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,560 Speaker 1: what you guys. You guys in some ways have I mean, 1059 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:56,520 Speaker 1: these are clarifying moments for the Fellowship because you're able 1060 00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,120 Speaker 1: to say, what can we do to help, what can 1061 00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:02,080 Speaker 1: we do to bring care, whether that's physical needs or emotional, 1062 00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,719 Speaker 1: spiritual Have you been in touch, Yaile, with anybody on 1063 00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:10,719 Speaker 1: the ground in Australia. Have you heard from this community directly? 1064 00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 1: I'm just curious. 1065 00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:16,480 Speaker 27: Yeah, so the Fellowship helps provide security for Jewish institutions 1066 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,600 Speaker 27: that are at risk around the world, including in Australia. 1067 00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:23,400 Speaker 27: And what we see here is what I think is 1068 00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:27,439 Speaker 27: a heroic response to darkness and terror. And again it's 1069 00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:31,960 Speaker 27: very similar to what happened after the assassination of Charlie. 1070 00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,400 Speaker 27: We saw people coming out now with anger, not burning tires, 1071 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,720 Speaker 27: not pulling down flags, but coming out with love, coming 1072 00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:42,960 Speaker 27: out with respect for one another, singing together, recognizing the 1073 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,359 Speaker 27: only answer to hatred is to stand together in love. 1074 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 17: And that's what we're seeing in Australia. 1075 00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,239 Speaker 27: They went out the Jewish community today and there were 1076 00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:53,319 Speaker 27: so many Christians who stood with them. 1077 00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:57,040 Speaker 17: Back to Bundai Beach to light the Menora. They all 1078 00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:57,560 Speaker 17: went to. 1079 00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:02,120 Speaker 27: Their houses of worship without being scared, without cowarding, and 1080 00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,319 Speaker 27: they said, we are going to spread the light of 1081 00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:07,439 Speaker 27: God into this world. No terrorist is going to stop us. 1082 00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,600 Speaker 27: And that's the message that I think is more relevant 1083 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:14,239 Speaker 27: now than ever, as we see Christians being persecuted, we 1084 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:17,760 Speaker 27: see Jews being targeted, as we see churches being blown 1085 00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:23,040 Speaker 27: up and from America to Syria to across Africa and 1086 00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:26,080 Speaker 27: Jews no longer being safe. The message I hear from 1087 00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,880 Speaker 27: God is now is the time to stand together? 1088 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,440 Speaker 17: He named Atovu man named Scheveterrin Gamiagad. 1089 00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,239 Speaker 27: How good and how pleasant it is when brethren dwell 1090 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:36,920 Speaker 27: together in peace. It's the only way that we are 1091 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:38,840 Speaker 27: going to get through these very dark days. 1092 00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's well said, yell. And you know, it's interesting. 1093 00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:45,399 Speaker 1: I'm just looking at some reporting here and it's it's 1094 00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,400 Speaker 1: like the Australian government and the ASIO, which is the 1095 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:53,200 Speaker 1: Australian Security Intelligence Organization, they were aware of heightened threats 1096 00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:56,120 Speaker 1: to the Jewish community. They raised the national terrorism threat 1097 00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:59,640 Speaker 1: level to probable in August of twenty twenty four. Anti 1098 00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:04,080 Speaker 1: Semitic attacks surged in Australia post October twenty twenty three, 1099 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,600 Speaker 1: over two thousand incidents in twenty twenty four, sixteen hundred 1100 00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:12,279 Speaker 1: and twenty twenty five and including arson on synagogues and graffiti, 1101 00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:16,880 Speaker 1: and Jewish leaders had been pleading with local government officials, 1102 00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,520 Speaker 1: you know, and warning them of insufficient action. Are you 1103 00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:24,240 Speaker 1: concerned about that that the message is still not getting 1104 00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,480 Speaker 1: through to protect some of these synagogues, these Jewish communities 1105 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,760 Speaker 1: wherever they may be in the larger diaspora. 1106 00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,479 Speaker 27: You know, Andrew If there's one thing that I've seen 1107 00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:39,000 Speaker 27: since October seventh, with these attacks on the Jewish community 1108 00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,439 Speaker 27: and the attacks on the Christian community, like I said, 1109 00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,880 Speaker 27: around the world, is that we can't rely on the 1110 00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 27: governments to protect us. 1111 00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:47,640 Speaker 17: The governments have allowed. 1112 00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:51,640 Speaker 27: From Australia to what we saw post October seventh in America, 1113 00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:56,640 Speaker 27: what we're seeing today in Europe. The Jihadis are speaking 1114 00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,880 Speaker 27: out with hatred and calling for a global and defait. 1115 00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,600 Speaker 27: This is what a global antifata looks like, and they're 1116 00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,120 Speaker 27: not being stopped. If there's one thing that I've realized 1117 00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,280 Speaker 27: is that we have to hold the governments accountable. We 1118 00:58:08,400 --> 00:58:10,720 Speaker 27: have to call the governments out to do whatever they 1119 00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:16,360 Speaker 27: can to protect Jews and Christians and religious institutions across Americas, 1120 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,240 Speaker 27: across Australia, across Europe, everywhere in the free world. 1121 00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,200 Speaker 17: But we also can't use it as escapegoat. 1122 00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:26,160 Speaker 27: We can't sit behind our screens in self righteous anger 1123 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:29,040 Speaker 27: calling for the governments to do more. We have to 1124 00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,080 Speaker 27: do more, We have to do whatever we can. We 1125 00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,360 Speaker 27: have to go out and stand together, and like I said, 1126 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,960 Speaker 27: through the fellowship, I see what's possible when the grassroots 1127 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:42,120 Speaker 27: gets together. Since October seventh. We've had flights of Aliyah 1128 00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:45,320 Speaker 27: rescuing Jews from all four corners of the Earth where 1129 00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 27: they're facing persecution and bringing them home to Israel. We've 1130 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:52,720 Speaker 27: seen Holocaust survivors who are getting food boxes in the 1131 00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:56,640 Speaker 27: middle of wars and rockets attacks. We're going into Syria, 1132 00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,280 Speaker 27: where it's dangerous for us, in order to provide for 1133 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,120 Speaker 27: the persecuted Christians there. And we're only able to do 1134 00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,280 Speaker 27: this because there are millions of Jews and Christians around 1135 00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,600 Speaker 27: the world who aren't only speaking out in anger against 1136 00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:12,680 Speaker 27: the governments, but also taking whatever action they can in 1137 00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:16,200 Speaker 27: order to bring comfort and love and light to one another. 1138 00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:20,480 Speaker 27: Because the answer to darkness, especially during this holiday season, 1139 00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:21,760 Speaker 27: is to bring more light. 1140 00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:26,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, well said, And you know, it's just it's tragic 1141 00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:30,560 Speaker 1: that this happened at Hanukkah, the first day I believe 1142 00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:35,120 Speaker 1: of the celebration in Bondai Beach. Give us a lay 1143 00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:38,120 Speaker 1: of the land, and thank you for always being so uplifting. 1144 00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:39,760 Speaker 1: By the way, there was like a lot of you know, 1145 00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:41,480 Speaker 1: dark news over the weekend. 1146 00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:41,760 Speaker 11: Yeah. 1147 00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:46,080 Speaker 1: Also, you're always so, you're always so you bring such 1148 00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,000 Speaker 1: a positive energy to this and I know that's rooted 1149 00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:53,320 Speaker 1: in your faith. I want to just take our eyes 1150 00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:57,720 Speaker 1: back to Israel, just briefly, since the peace had been established. 1151 00:59:57,760 --> 00:59:59,760 Speaker 1: What is the vibe on the ground there, How are 1152 00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:04,240 Speaker 1: people feeling? Is it optimistic? Is it contentious? Just want 1153 01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:05,160 Speaker 1: to temperature check. 1154 01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:10,000 Speaker 27: Well, there's an amazing resilience that you see in Israel. 1155 01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:12,440 Speaker 27: When I remember I was in Tel Aviv at a 1156 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,080 Speaker 27: dinner meeting and the sirens went off and there were 1157 01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:18,120 Speaker 27: rockets from Yemen that were being launched directly. 1158 01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,040 Speaker 17: Where I was, and I was born in the restaurant. 1159 01:00:20,080 --> 01:00:22,480 Speaker 27: Immediately got up and went down to the bomb shelter 1160 01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,720 Speaker 27: together and within ten minutes we were back in the 1161 01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,720 Speaker 27: restaurant after the rocket was intercepted, and it was as 1162 01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:30,760 Speaker 27: if nothing happened. That in Israel we have this incredible 1163 01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:34,880 Speaker 27: ability to find joy and faith within the hardships. Even 1164 01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:37,720 Speaker 27: in the year after October seventh, Israel was voted the 1165 01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:42,160 Speaker 27: seventh happiest country in the world. And so we are, yeah, 1166 01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:47,760 Speaker 27: we're both optimistically happy and excited for the opportunity for 1167 01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:51,640 Speaker 27: peace and hoping for more agreements like the Abraham Agreements 1168 01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:52,040 Speaker 27: that will. 1169 01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:53,760 Speaker 17: Bring a new reality to all the people of. 1170 01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:57,320 Speaker 27: The Middle East and we're also very cautious that we 1171 01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:01,320 Speaker 27: know we're dealing with lots of terror groups from Syria 1172 01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:06,200 Speaker 27: to Egypt, to Iran to Gaza that haven't been eliminated. 1173 01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:10,280 Speaker 27: Their people haven't been freed yet, and so we're hopeful 1174 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:14,080 Speaker 27: that Israel will have peace, that the people, the Muslims 1175 01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,640 Speaker 27: who are being held hostage by their own governments and 1176 01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:20,400 Speaker 27: terror groups will be freed and enjoy freedom inequality like 1177 01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:24,000 Speaker 27: we do here in Israel. And we're just standing strong 1178 01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,200 Speaker 27: in prayer that God promises good days. 1179 01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,560 Speaker 17: Will be ahead. We know his promises for Israel. 1180 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:34,760 Speaker 27: He says, Israel is forever, Israel ultimately together with the 1181 01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 27: free world. Good always wins over bed and I just 1182 01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:41,400 Speaker 27: pray that the end of darkness is here already. 1183 01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,440 Speaker 1: Well, we appreciate I did.

So big, huge stories still kind of going on. 1237 01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:56,640 Speaker 1: Nick Reiner, Rob Reiner's son, has now appeared in court 1238 01:04:56,720 --> 01:05:00,440 Speaker 1: this morning. He is it looks like he's pro probably 1239 01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:03,680 Speaker 1: the guy who killed his two parents, which is like 1240 01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:09,320 Speaker 1: a terrible, terrible aspect of this case. And thirty two 1241 01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:14,440 Speaker 1: year old Nick Reiner, he had been in rehab at 1242 01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:19,280 Speaker 1: least seventeen times for addiction and mental health struggles. So 1243 01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:23,080 Speaker 1: there was a big Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's in 1244 01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 1: the Pacific Palisades on Saturday night, where guests were decked 1245 01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:29,280 Speaker 1: out in suits and fancy dresses. But one stood out, 1246 01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:32,280 Speaker 1: I'm reading from the rap. Their thirty two year old son, 1247 01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:38,240 Speaker 1: Nick showed up in the very formal party in a hoodie, 1248 01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:42,640 Speaker 1: so he was freaking everyone out, acting crazy. A source 1249 01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:47,080 Speaker 1: told People Magazine kept asking people if they were famous, 1250 01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:54,440 Speaker 1: so that apparently there's just been this whole backstory about, 1251 01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, Rob's approach to parenting with Nick. I mean, 1252 01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:00,480 Speaker 1: you know, a few deals details about this. He just 1253 01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,439 Speaker 1: it seems we don't know all the details. I'm sure 1254 01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:04,280 Speaker 1: we'll get more, but. 1255 01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:09,560 Speaker 14: It seems he did have a relatively permissive attitude, which 1256 01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:11,880 Speaker 14: is some people will say, if an addict in your 1257 01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:15,040 Speaker 14: life is destructive enough, you really need to cut them. 1258 01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,280 Speaker 1: Off or they'll destroy your whole family. 1259 01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:21,400 Speaker 14: And usually it's not this literal, but he said he 1260 01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:24,400 Speaker 14: had lines like, you know, I'd rather have you hate 1261 01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:27,720 Speaker 14: me as long as you're alive, he said, kind of 1262 01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:30,880 Speaker 14: tough love is not not really his way through life. 1263 01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,680 Speaker 14: So you could definitely have the argument he may have 1264 01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:37,680 Speaker 14: enabled him too much, coddled him too much. We'll get 1265 01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,480 Speaker 14: more details on it, of course. Yeah, and it seems 1266 01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:42,720 Speaker 14: what they did is they argued at this party. Yeah, 1267 01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:46,240 Speaker 14: left and he may have followed them home and exactly. 1268 01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:51,240 Speaker 1: So this is so it's weird because it's been reported, 1269 01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:53,440 Speaker 1: I haven't seen it confirmed that maybe the wriiners were 1270 01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:55,760 Speaker 1: gonna about to meet with the Obamas. So that's a 1271 01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:59,800 Speaker 1: weird twist story. I mean, yeah, it's I'm not suggesting 1272 01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:01,720 Speaker 1: that anything to do with it. I'm just it's weird. 1273 01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:05,600 Speaker 1: The triangulation of all these famous people. It's Conan O'Brien's 1274 01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:09,880 Speaker 1: Christmas party. And then this was what's interesting, So you 1275 01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:13,440 Speaker 1: get this brooding, incoherent Nick Reiner, who's want around this 1276 01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:16,880 Speaker 1: party in a hoodie and he basically only spoke at 1277 01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:20,360 Speaker 1: length with two people that night, Rob and his mom, 1278 01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:23,840 Speaker 1: the producer and photographer, and what ensued, according to people, 1279 01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:27,840 Speaker 1: there was a very loud argument and certainly not the 1280 01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:31,240 Speaker 1: first that they had ever had, and what was said 1281 01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,480 Speaker 1: no one has yet disclosed, though it was loud enough 1282 01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,240 Speaker 1: that several guests heard it. Multiple outlets reporting side and 1283 01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:40,240 Speaker 1: anonymous partygoers. Reps for Conan O'Brien and the Reiners did 1284 01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,520 Speaker 1: not immediately return request for comment, and it wouldn't have 1285 01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:46,080 Speaker 1: mattered much except for the news the following day. That 1286 01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:49,760 Speaker 1: was when the Reiner's youngest daughter, twenty eight year old Romy, 1287 01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:53,520 Speaker 1: discovered her parents' lifeless body at the Brentwood home and 1288 01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:57,840 Speaker 1: victims of a knife attack. Very very tragic, and she 1289 01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,960 Speaker 1: immediately suspected her older brother corroborated Monday with police as 1290 01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:06,560 Speaker 1: said that he was responsible for their deaths. So really 1291 01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:10,080 Speaker 1: really tragic story here, and I thought it was interesting. 1292 01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:11,880 Speaker 14: Yeah, go ahead, Well let's circle it back to what 1293 01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:13,320 Speaker 14: we were talking about in the first hour. 1294 01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:15,120 Speaker 1: We talked about marijuana. 1295 01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:19,679 Speaker 14: Now, clearly Nick Reiner was on a much larger array 1296 01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:23,800 Speaker 14: of substances that were more damaging. But this gets back 1297 01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:28,200 Speaker 14: to what Charlie would talk about so much that as 1298 01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:30,320 Speaker 14: no you know, the Bible says no one can serve 1299 01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:33,719 Speaker 14: two masters. And so do you want to have self mastery? 1300 01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,200 Speaker 14: Do you want to be guided by your own moral 1301 01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:40,479 Speaker 14: intuitions or do you want to be enslaved by something else? 1302 01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:43,800 Speaker 14: And what people who have been around addiction or have 1303 01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:47,839 Speaker 14: been addicts themselves can tell you is it can start small, 1304 01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:50,400 Speaker 14: but it can grow and grow and grow until it 1305 01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:53,560 Speaker 14: has taken over your life. And people who are severely 1306 01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:57,960 Speaker 14: addicted to drugs, what will eventually happen is they will 1307 01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:03,559 Speaker 14: do anything, and they will hurt anyone one because they 1308 01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:06,520 Speaker 14: want more drugs. They want to just continue that lifestyle. 1309 01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:09,600 Speaker 14: And that's one of the biggest reasons to just not 1310 01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:10,719 Speaker 14: really let them. 1311 01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,000 Speaker 1: In the door. Yeah, because the long term outcomes are 1312 01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:16,200 Speaker 1: not good. Yeah, And there's the idea that it is 1313 01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:18,759 Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to make this overly spiritual, 1314 01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:22,280 Speaker 1: but you do open yourself up to I believe dark 1315 01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:27,560 Speaker 1: spiritual forces. When you start releasing control of your mental faculties, 1316 01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:30,479 Speaker 1: of your spiritual faculties, you know, it is a highway 1317 01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,559 Speaker 1: to hell in many respects. And yeah, you might look 1318 01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:34,880 Speaker 1: at it and say, oh, it's just it's just a 1319 01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:38,000 Speaker 1: little pot just a little like we're just you know whatever. No, 1320 01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:41,040 Speaker 1: sometimes for some people. Now you might be one of 1321 01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:43,840 Speaker 1: those people out there that doesn't have that problem that 1322 01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:45,960 Speaker 1: not everybody reacts the same way, But there's going to 1323 01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:49,160 Speaker 1: be a percentage of the population that does. And you're 1324 01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,000 Speaker 1: going to have more and more of these people the 1325 01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:54,519 Speaker 1: more you use it where that can become an opening 1326 01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:58,760 Speaker 1: for really really dark things. Romy basically said as soon 1327 01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:01,479 Speaker 1: as as soon as this happen, She said, you know, 1328 01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:04,040 Speaker 1: Nick had been recently living in their parents guest house 1329 01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:07,479 Speaker 1: and was dangerous and should be considered a suspect. My 1330 01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:10,280 Speaker 1: heart goes out to the family, the sister especially, I 1331 01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:14,120 Speaker 1: had to find her parents dead and had had to 1332 01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,639 Speaker 1: basically tell police that my brother did it. Probably, I mean, 1333 01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:21,040 Speaker 1: think about that poor thing. A really tragic, tragic story. 1334 01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:24,479 Speaker 1: We got Kurt Schlichter on next hopefully he can cheer 1335 01:10:24,520 --> 01:10:25,680 Speaker 1: us up a little bit.

We're going 1337 01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:30,880 Speaker 1: to be talking about the filibuster and more. 1338 01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:35,400 Speaker 11: We'll be right back. 1339 01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:42,400 Speaker 20: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice newsbreak.

However, 1354 01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:38,799 Speaker 20: he didn't admit to any criminal wrongdoing, and President Trump 1355 01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:42,240 Speaker 20: is suing the BBC for ten billion dollars in damages 1356 01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:46,200 Speaker 20: for defamation, as well as deceptive and unfair trade practices. 1357 01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:50,080 Speaker 20: The thirty three page lawsuit accuses the British broadcasting company 1358 01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:55,960 Speaker 20: of quote false, defamatory, deceptive, disparaging, inflammatory, and malicious depictions 1359 01:11:56,400 --> 01:12:00,439 Speaker 20: of President Trump.

I think better than anybody as a little 1389 01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:44,360 Speaker 1: tongue in cheek there if people aren't picking it up, 1390 01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:46,680 Speaker 1: but it's fine. It's how we create a space where 1391 01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:48,679 Speaker 1: people are able to share their ideas and be heard. 1392 01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:52,120 Speaker 1: Charlie knew that, Turning Point knows that, and TikTok has 1393 01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:54,280 Speaker 1: always strived to build that kind of place that thrives 1394 01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:57,640 Speaker 1: on respectful connection, where curiosity feels connection and we can 1395 01:13:57,720 --> 01:13:59,680 Speaker 1: share what's on our minds and learn from each other. 1396 01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:02,760 Speaker 1: When ideas meet respect, good things happen.

They add 1401 01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:17,599 Speaker 1: an insight of their own, they ask a question. TikTok 1402 01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:20,959 Speaker 1: turns connection into community through these small acts of understanding. 1403 01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:22,840 Speaker 1: You can feel it in the comments and to thank 1404 01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:25,320 Speaker 1: you from a stranger halfway across the world. TikTok is 1405 01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:27,920 Speaker 1: a place where respect opens the door for discussion, and 1406 01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:31,760 Speaker 1: discussion helps us build something real.

Now, I started the People's Republic 1417 01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:10,519 Speaker 19: series about ten years ago because of Andrew Breitbark, really, 1418 01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:13,000 Speaker 19: because he said we have to go make our own culture. 1419 01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:18,080 Speaker 19: So I decided, well, I'm sick of all these woke, garbage, 1420 01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:22,519 Speaker 19: boring books. They talk about feelings. You know, there's a 1421 01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:24,919 Speaker 19: sassy non binary character. 1422 01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:26,200 Speaker 6: No, we're not. 1423 01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:28,360 Speaker 19: Doing any of that. We're going to get some action. 1424 01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,439 Speaker 19: We're going to get some snark.

And I wrote People's Republic and Andrew. 1427 01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:41,240 Speaker 19: These have all been best sellers Pama read. I believe 1428 01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:45,240 Speaker 19: it's still Amazon's number one political thriller right now. 1429 01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:47,479 Speaker 6: It is selling like hotcakes, and. 1430 01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:49,320 Speaker 19: People ought to go out and get Panama Red because 1431 01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:50,280 Speaker 19: it's a lot of fun. 1432 01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:54,679 Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome. Congratulations. Honestly, I think you know, people 1433 01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:56,960 Speaker 1: think of you as a political commentator, at least probably 1434 01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,439 Speaker 1: our audience, because they're used to you doing which you are. 1435 01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:03,559 Speaker 1: You're great colonists over at town Hall, and you know 1436 01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:06,240 Speaker 1: there's a lot there by the way you have your 1437 01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:10,200 Speaker 1: multiple columns. Actually, you know, but one of one of 1438 01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,679 Speaker 1: what you're one of the topics you're talking about right now. 1439 01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:14,960 Speaker 1: It's kind of near and dear because one of the 1440 01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,960 Speaker 1: things I've noticed is that after what happened with Charlie, 1441 01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:21,280 Speaker 1: you know, Erica has been asked multiple times about you know, 1442 01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:24,599 Speaker 1: two A stuff, right, what do you think about gun laws, 1443 01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,240 Speaker 1: what do you think about access to guns? What do 1444 01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:29,200 Speaker 1: you think about the Second Amendment? And I think it's 1445 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:31,320 Speaker 1: a really unfair question to put a widow in first 1446 01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:34,320 Speaker 1: of all, that's now head of a conservative organization. But listen, 1447 01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:37,040 Speaker 1: she's answered them, well, she's you know, Charlie was pro 1448 01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:39,760 Speaker 1: two A. We're pro two A. But then it comes 1449 01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:42,320 Speaker 1: up again because of what's happened in Australia, right, Because 1450 01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:46,519 Speaker 1: in Australia we've got, you know, a very restrictive gun culture, 1451 01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:49,120 Speaker 1: and yet this jihadist was able to get access to 1452 01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:52,960 Speaker 1: six legal firearms and kill a bunch of Jews. So 1453 01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:58,479 Speaker 1: you say, you know, this week's gun tragedy shows you 1454 01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:02,080 Speaker 1: why you must buy even more guns. Tell us about this. 1455 01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:05,160 Speaker 1: Why are you being even more adamant, Kurt. 1456 01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:09,200 Speaker 19: Look, the basis of all rights are armed citizens who 1457 01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:13,040 Speaker 19: can protect themselves. Yes, our creator endowed us with the rights. 1458 01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:17,120 Speaker 19: It's up to us to defend them. They're not self executing, 1459 01:17:17,160 --> 01:17:18,920 Speaker 19: and there are plenty of people who want to take 1460 01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:21,880 Speaker 19: them away, including our right to speak freely, our right 1461 01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:25,720 Speaker 19: to write what we think, our right to worship as 1462 01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,919 Speaker 19: we see fit, our right to keeping bare arms secures 1463 01:17:28,960 --> 01:17:32,120 Speaker 19: all that. You are not a citizen if you do 1464 01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:37,120 Speaker 19: not participate in being able to protect yourself, your family, 1465 01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:41,479 Speaker 19: your community, and your constitution. Yes, bad people use guns. 1466 01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:44,840 Speaker 19: We've all seen that. We've seen terrible violence out there. 1467 01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:48,000 Speaker 19: But you know, after thirty years as a lawyer, I 1468 01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:52,519 Speaker 19: kind of assess arguments and I think to myself, is 1469 01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:54,920 Speaker 19: it a great argument that there are bad people out 1470 01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:57,479 Speaker 19: there who want to hurt us because of who we 1471 01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:02,559 Speaker 19: are and what we believe, that we should disarm harder? 1472 01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:05,599 Speaker 6: Not a great argument. 1473 01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:09,719 Speaker 19: I'll take my own personal defense in my own hands. 1474 01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:14,080 Speaker 19: It doesn't doesn't make me in vulnerable, but it gives 1475 01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:15,000 Speaker 19: me a fighting chance. 1476 01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:18,080 Speaker 1: Well, and you notice the delayed response in the Australia incident. 1477 01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:19,920 Speaker 1: I mean it was you know, you had that hero 1478 01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:22,719 Speaker 1: I forget his name, it was Ahmed al Ahmed or whatever, 1479 01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:26,200 Speaker 1: who goes in, grabs the gun and then kind of 1480 01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,479 Speaker 1: subbues one of the Yeah, I mean a total hero. 1481 01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:30,920 Speaker 1: He ends up taking a couple of bullets for that, 1482 01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:33,160 Speaker 1: but from the sun that was up on the walkway. 1483 01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:36,479 Speaker 1: But there was a totally delayed response. And you know, 1484 01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:39,320 Speaker 1: if if there would have been armed guards at the synagogue, 1485 01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:41,439 Speaker 1: maybe they could have stopped some of the killing. Lives 1486 01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:43,760 Speaker 1: would have been saved. You've got to start playing those 1487 01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:45,080 Speaker 1: those scenarios back in your head too. 1488 01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:49,720 Speaker 19: Look, the fact that you look, the fact that you're armed, 1489 01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:51,880 Speaker 19: and the fact that you have armed guards does not 1490 01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:53,240 Speaker 19: make you safe. 1491 01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:54,400 Speaker 6: It makes you safer. 1492 01:18:56,640 --> 01:19:01,759 Speaker 19: The police are not there as our personal body arts, okay. 1493 01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:03,799 Speaker 6: The police are there to respond to violence. 1494 01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:06,960 Speaker 19: And when you get something that's so outside the main 1495 01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:13,320 Speaker 19: like a mass murder, it's not shocking that it'll take 1496 01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:15,840 Speaker 19: the police time to coordinate a response. 1497 01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:17,840 Speaker 6: It's not necessarily hit on them. 1498 01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:20,639 Speaker 19: Now, there are some cowardly cops, the ones in Uvaldi 1499 01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:25,439 Speaker 19: need to hang their heads in shame forever. But most 1500 01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,519 Speaker 19: of the time police will fire and maneuver when they 1501 01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:33,240 Speaker 19: get there. But why can't we be there. What's wrong 1502 01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:36,800 Speaker 19: with armed citizens? You know, if I'm if I'm living 1503 01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:39,160 Speaker 19: in my house in Texas, I'm carrying all the time. 1504 01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:42,799 Speaker 19: Legally California, they don't trust a guy who commanded thousands 1505 01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:46,120 Speaker 19: of people with automatic weapons on the streets. But in 1506 01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:48,639 Speaker 19: Texas they seem to think, I'm okay, so I carry 1507 01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:52,320 Speaker 19: a weapon. I may be out gunned, I may be outnumbered, 1508 01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:55,080 Speaker 19: but you know, Andrew, I'm. 1509 01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:57,960 Speaker 6: If I'm engaging. 1510 01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:02,959 Speaker 19: Bad guys, you know, a a retired officer, army officer. 1511 01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:06,760 Speaker 19: They're shooting me, and they're not shooting women, they're not 1512 01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:09,759 Speaker 19: shooting children, they're not shooting other citizens. 1513 01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:13,000 Speaker 1: That's true. That's a good point, Kert. Let's hear from Erica. 1514 01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:15,400 Speaker 1: This was that deal book New York Times deal book 1515 01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:16,000 Speaker 1: last week. 1516 01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:21,840 Speaker 28: Uh one, they're living in a day and age where 1517 01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:24,960 Speaker 28: they think violence is the solution. 1518 01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:27,160 Speaker 17: To them. 1519 01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:32,599 Speaker 28: Not wanting to hear a different point of view. That's 1520 01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:38,799 Speaker 28: not a gun problem, that's that's a human, deeply human problem. 1521 01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:44,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought she. I mean, it's just such a 1522 01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:48,120 Speaker 1: I get upset. I'm protective of Erica, you know, and 1523 01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:50,519 Speaker 1: it's just a very you know, given what happened to 1524 01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:52,880 Speaker 1: Charlie it's a pretty it's a pretty you know, I 1525 01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:55,559 Speaker 1: would say, tough question to be asking a widow, But whatever, 1526 01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:58,160 Speaker 1: she did a great job, and she's absolutely right. It's 1527 01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:00,479 Speaker 1: not a gun problem. That's a human problem. About that. 1528 01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:05,400 Speaker 1: Devil's advocate question for you, Kurt if so, you know 1529 01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:07,320 Speaker 1: you got all these pot smokers now are about to 1530 01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:09,519 Speaker 1: legalize that, we got all the we got a bunch 1531 01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:12,680 Speaker 1: of mental illness. You know, has our society fallen so 1532 01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:14,679 Speaker 1: far that we can't be trusted with guns anymore? 1533 01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:18,439 Speaker 19: Well, look, there are some people who can't be trusted 1534 01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:24,160 Speaker 19: with guns, obviously, criminals, mentally ill people, drug addicts. We've 1535 01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:26,360 Speaker 19: seen the horrible you know, in just the last days, 1536 01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:29,160 Speaker 19: we've seen what mental illness and drug addiction can do. 1537 01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:33,400 Speaker 19: But again, the potential for bad people out there to 1538 01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:39,000 Speaker 19: do bad things does not compel me to make myself defenseless. 1539 01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:40,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, fair enough. 1540 01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:43,960 Speaker 19: The answer to crime is to deal with criminals. Well, 1541 01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,519 Speaker 19: and the part about this deal with law abiding citizen part. 1542 01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:47,559 Speaker 1: Of this story and be like, I don't know if 1543 01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:49,800 Speaker 1: you have a take on this, but like the son 1544 01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:52,639 Speaker 1: that I think he's twenty four years old, in this instance, 1545 01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:56,479 Speaker 1: he had been investigated by being linked to an ISIS cell. 1546 01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:59,360 Speaker 29: Well, he was investigated for links. I think they didn't 1547 01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:03,400 Speaker 29: necessarily they found jihadis ISIS flags in the car. I 1548 01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:08,040 Speaker 29: mean this guy was completely motivated by jihadist ideology. 1549 01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:10,519 Speaker 1: So I mean he's a good boy. That's what the 1550 01:22:10,520 --> 01:22:12,200 Speaker 1: mom said. He's just a good boy, Kurt. 1551 01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:15,000 Speaker 19: There are bad people out there who want to murder 1552 01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:18,400 Speaker 19: or enslave us. Well, I don't want to be murdered, 1553 01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:22,240 Speaker 19: and I won't be a slave. The answer is not 1554 01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:26,479 Speaker 19: a monopoly on violence by an unaccountable government, but a 1555 01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:31,960 Speaker 19: monopoly on violence by the people, by the citizens. If 1556 01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:36,479 Speaker 19: those those guys were sitting there, walking around, confident and 1557 01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:41,840 Speaker 19: cool and collected until the police showed up and engaged them, 1558 01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:44,560 Speaker 19: if there was an American citizen, if that was in Texas, 1559 01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:48,960 Speaker 19: where a lot of people carry weapons, those guys would 1560 01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:51,000 Speaker 19: not been able to do that. They would have had 1561 01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:54,960 Speaker 19: to deal with the tactical problem of people firing. 1562 01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:55,400 Speaker 6: Weapons at them. 1563 01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:56,040 Speaker 24: Yep. 1564 01:22:56,320 --> 01:22:59,960 Speaker 19: Maybe maybe a cig P three two, three, six five, 1565 01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:04,200 Speaker 19: maybe a forty five, maybe a long weapon, it doesn't matter. 1566 01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:09,439 Speaker 19: The tactical problem for a mass killer is somebody shooting 1567 01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:09,920 Speaker 19: at him. 1568 01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:11,360 Speaker 6: He's got to engage that. 1569 01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:15,000 Speaker 19: When he's doing that, everybody else has a chance to 1570 01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:17,160 Speaker 19: take cover and protect themselves. 1571 01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:18,840 Speaker 6: You know, that's what we need. 1572 01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:22,280 Speaker 1: I'm just reminded ker of that. Remember that hero's name 1573 01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:26,920 Speaker 1: was Jack Wilson. Do you remember this story in Yeah? Jack? 1574 01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,760 Speaker 1: So Jack Wilson just pulled up an image of him. 1575 01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:34,760 Speaker 1: But this was in it looks like let's see here, 1576 01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:38,320 Speaker 1: it was in twenty nineteen. He was a firearms instructor 1577 01:23:38,360 --> 01:23:41,599 Speaker 1: and former Reserve sheriff's deputy who fatally shot a gunman 1578 01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:44,639 Speaker 1: during a service at the West Freeway Church of Christ 1579 01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:47,479 Speaker 1: in White Settlement, Texas. And that was on yeah, December 1580 01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:50,640 Speaker 1: twenty nine, twenty nineteen. He took a single shot and 1581 01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:54,120 Speaker 1: ended the attack, which saved an estimated well they say 1582 01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:56,080 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty people in the congregation, but who 1583 01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:58,680 Speaker 1: knows how many would have ultimately been killed. But I 1584 01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:01,519 Speaker 1: mean that is the sort of that could have been 1585 01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:08,080 Speaker 1: this situation. But Australia has pursued a disarmament campaign. Let's 1586 01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:11,560 Speaker 1: hear from Charlie Kirk. This is a you know, the 1587 01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:14,480 Speaker 1: Charlie kirkshow after all he talks about this one eighteen. 1588 01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:18,599 Speaker 9: Maybe it's much more of a brokenness of humanity problem 1589 01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:22,519 Speaker 9: or a sin problem, not the actual tool itself. But honestly, 1590 01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:24,240 Speaker 9: I think we should have less gun laws, not more. 1591 01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:27,320 Speaker 11: I know this people disagree with this. It's a right. 1592 01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:30,559 Speaker 9: People should be able to protect themselves as they see fit. 1593 01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:33,880 Speaker 9: In states that generally have more guns, not less guns, 1594 01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:37,559 Speaker 9: like Houston. Yes, you do have some more gun deaths 1595 01:24:37,600 --> 01:24:41,480 Speaker 9: amongst inner city gangs, but violent crime tends to go down, 1596 01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:46,000 Speaker 9: and so I don't want to disarm peaceful, law abiding 1597 01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:49,720 Speaker 9: people just because some people abuse that tool or that technology. 1598 01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:52,240 Speaker 9: And so when you look at gun deaths in this country, 1599 01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:54,960 Speaker 9: there are thirty thousand gun deaths a year. Two thirds 1600 01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:57,679 Speaker 9: of them are death by suicide. Okay, so that number 1601 01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:00,040 Speaker 9: shouldn't have been in there. The vast majority of the 1602 01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:03,839 Speaker 9: gun deaths that are related, that are are the ones 1603 01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:08,679 Speaker 9: in the remainder are individuals in gangs and inner cities 1604 01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:10,960 Speaker 9: that use guns in kind of gang violence. 1605 01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:15,439 Speaker 1: So there's lots of categories there. Thirty seconds, we've got 1606 01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:17,519 Speaker 1: a break, and then we'll have you back for the 1607 01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:19,640 Speaker 1: following segment on the filibuster. 1608 01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:25,120 Speaker 19: Look, I started shooting when I was six. My dad 1609 01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:27,840 Speaker 19: was a country guy. Even though I'm a BMW driving 1610 01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:30,599 Speaker 19: la Lawyer. I still have that blood in me.

Tens of 1615 01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:50,200 Speaker 19: millions of other Americans are just like me, law abiding, peaceful, 1616 01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:53,400 Speaker 19: but raid to defend ourselves, our families, our communities, and 1617 01:25:53,439 --> 01:25:56,800 Speaker 19: our constitutions.

If you missed that rant on radio, 1692 01:30:00,080 --> 01:30:01,559 Speaker 1: you're going to want to listen to it back again 1693 01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:04,920 Speaker 1: because I think he hits the nail on the head 1694 01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:07,519 Speaker 1: the question that most of us have. But we're going 1695 01:30:07,600 --> 01:30:10,640 Speaker 1: to switch topics here to Mark. Wayne Mollin kind of 1696 01:30:10,760 --> 01:30:15,280 Speaker 1: made some waves yesterday by saying he's kind of in 1697 01:30:15,320 --> 01:30:17,360 Speaker 1: favor of NUK and the philibuster. I have questions, though, 1698 01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:19,200 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the pros and the cons. 1699 01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:20,000 Speaker 1: One eighty one. 1700 01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:23,479 Speaker 30: A conversation has taking place as saying, well, maybe we 1701 01:30:23,520 --> 01:30:26,320 Speaker 30: don't do all the filibusters, but we just do it 1702 01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:29,360 Speaker 30: when it comes to appropriations. Well, that's where the policy 1703 01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:32,439 Speaker 30: is made through appropriations. Anyways, I think that's a sound 1704 01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:35,320 Speaker 30: policy for us to have a serious conversation about. Because 1705 01:30:35,360 --> 01:30:37,599 Speaker 30: we only had three years here, let's go all in 1706 01:30:37,640 --> 01:30:39,479 Speaker 30: and I'm in that favor. Where you're at right now 1707 01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:42,120 Speaker 30: is let's go all in. Let's get this thing done 1708 01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:44,840 Speaker 30: because we're not going to get immigration policy done. 1709 01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:46,799 Speaker 11: With bipartisan support. 1710 01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:49,519 Speaker 30: My position on the filibuster has changed. 1711 01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:54,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, so that actually, I'll be honest, Blake, that was 1712 01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:56,080 Speaker 1: music to my ears. I was like, if we're not 1713 01:30:56,080 --> 01:30:58,160 Speaker 1: going to get immigration policy and I kind of thought, 1714 01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:00,760 Speaker 1: we talked about it, It's true, only do this if 1715 01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:03,519 Speaker 1: you're going to do a big thing. But do we 1716 01:31:03,640 --> 01:31:06,840 Speaker 1: have the votes. Even if we nuked the filibuster. 1717 01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:09,720 Speaker 6: Probably not. 1718 01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:11,760 Speaker 19: Remember, there are a lot of people who don't want 1719 01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:15,599 Speaker 19: the revolution and aren't counter revolution that were that Donald 1720 01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:19,560 Speaker 19: Trump and the populists are are trying to have. They 1721 01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:28,160 Speaker 19: there's so many Indiana Republicans spread all through America. 1722 01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:32,280 Speaker 1: Is so good the Indiana don't be in Indiana. We 1723 01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:33,040 Speaker 1: got to do that though. 1724 01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:35,800 Speaker 14: That'll that'll motivate them, That will motivate them to tune out. 1725 01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:37,960 Speaker 1: Get those that will motivate them more than the R word. 1726 01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:40,360 Speaker 14: They're going to send us the biggest winger in Senate 1727 01:31:40,439 --> 01:31:41,599 Speaker 14: history next time. 1728 01:31:41,600 --> 01:31:44,439 Speaker 1: They are all in. By the way, Kurt, we are 1729 01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:45,160 Speaker 1: going to practice. 1730 01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:48,160 Speaker 19: I went to Indiana and talk to them. They're hardcore, 1731 01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:51,240 Speaker 19: and I'm from California, so I know what hardcore looks like, 1732 01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:52,120 Speaker 19: because that's all. 1733 01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:53,680 Speaker 6: That's left of us as Republicans. 1734 01:31:55,040 --> 01:31:57,479 Speaker 19: Look the look I I I would love to maintain 1735 01:31:57,520 --> 01:31:58,720 Speaker 19: the filibuster if we could. 1736 01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:00,559 Speaker 6: I think it is a useful product. 1737 01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:02,720 Speaker 19: But as I wrote to my town Hall column a 1738 01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:05,160 Speaker 19: while ago, and I write Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and 1739 01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:10,040 Speaker 19: everybody should go read them, the Democrats are definitely given 1740 01:32:10,080 --> 01:32:13,800 Speaker 19: the chance going to end the filibuster. For everything and 1741 01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:14,760 Speaker 19: do whatever they want. 1742 01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:16,200 Speaker 6: Okay. 1743 01:32:16,560 --> 01:32:19,080 Speaker 19: I would love the opportunity to do whatever we want 1744 01:32:19,160 --> 01:32:22,799 Speaker 19: because we only have three years to prove ourselves and 1745 01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:25,920 Speaker 19: our policies will work. As we saw when Ronald Reagan 1746 01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:29,200 Speaker 19: was elected, that's a little before your time, and when 1747 01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:32,439 Speaker 19: Donald Trump was elected the first time, that's probably before 1748 01:32:32,439 --> 01:32:37,720 Speaker 19: your time too. Our policies do work, it would be 1749 01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:40,479 Speaker 19: good for us to get them in. And then again, 1750 01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:42,680 Speaker 19: there are benefits to having the filibuster. 1751 01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:44,439 Speaker 6: Maybe make a deal. 1752 01:32:45,080 --> 01:32:49,439 Speaker 19: Okay, we're either going to make the filibuster permanent by 1753 01:32:50,479 --> 01:32:56,519 Speaker 19: a constitutional amendment, or we're going to change it and 1754 01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:58,320 Speaker 19: then use a tar advantage because you guys are going 1755 01:32:58,360 --> 01:32:59,720 Speaker 19: to do it to us, and we know you're going 1756 01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:02,479 Speaker 19: to do it, Toss, because you've told us you're. 1757 01:33:02,320 --> 01:33:03,439 Speaker 6: Going to do it to us. 1758 01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:08,599 Speaker 19: I would love to see things like immigration, national concealed carry. 1759 01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:12,960 Speaker 19: Oh my gosh, it's so there's so many things would 1760 01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:15,360 Speaker 19: like to be Should we do them? 1761 01:33:15,600 --> 01:33:16,160 Speaker 6: Good question? 1762 01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:18,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you should do it. 1763 01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:21,800 Speaker 14: If you have the votes to pass things that really matter, 1764 01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:25,280 Speaker 14: and your next funding threshold is not a thing that 1765 01:33:25,479 --> 01:33:29,040 Speaker 14: really matters the way, you know, existentially for this country 1766 01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:29,760 Speaker 14: fifty years in the. 1767 01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:32,479 Speaker 1: Future, immigration voter. I d there's a few that are 1768 01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:36,360 Speaker 1: are truly truly important. If we could if we could 1769 01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:40,720 Speaker 1: take the Puerto Rico, the DC, maybe even Guam statehood 1770 01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:43,320 Speaker 1: off the table, I think the country would be much 1771 01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:46,320 Speaker 1: better off. So I don't maybe it is a deal, Kurt. 1772 01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:48,160 Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about making a deal because I'm just 1773 01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:51,840 Speaker 1: assuming they'll break the contract as soon as they get powered. 1774 01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:56,040 Speaker 6: So I put it in the Constitution Panama. 1775 01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:59,880 Speaker 1: Read Kurt's new book.
