1 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,319 Speaker 1: Welcome in to Turning Point tonight. We are going to 2 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: have a fantastic conversation with one of my favorite senators 3 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: coming up in just a little bit. Also, we won 4 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: another win for the Conservatives as we check the box 5 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: of got rid of it. The ADL said something awful 6 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 1: and now they've gotten rid of the thing that we 7 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: were all complaining about, which is fantastic. And apparently you 8 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: can be an employee of the government making three hundred 9 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year and be an illegal immigrant to 10 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: this country. You can't tell me that those people aren't 11 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: also voting. All that and more coming up on this 12 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,599 Speaker 1: episode of Turning Point Tonight. My name is Joe Bob. 13 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: Thanks so much for tuning in. Together, we are charting 14 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,479 Speaker 1: the course of America's cultural comeback through mockery and ridicule 15 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: of the left terrible ideas. This is Turning Point Tonight. Obviously, 16 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: before we get to any of those stories, I have 17 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,320 Speaker 1: the wonderful honor of introducing and chatting with one of 18 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: my favorite senators, great constitutionalist Senator Ted Cruz. Senator Ted Cruz, 19 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: first of all, thank you so much for joining us 20 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,680 Speaker 1: and really appreciate your continued support for turning points. I 21 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: appreciate you taking the time. 22 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 2: Very glad to be with you. Appreciate everything you guys 23 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 2: are doing. It makes just a huge difference. 24 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Now, just for our viewers, I 25 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: recognize there is a government shut down happening. It could 26 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: be over by the time this airs, or it could 27 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 1: be lasting another three weeks. I think people have heard 28 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: enough about it today, so we want to get to 29 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: some kind of I guess more broad strokes question, and 30 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: I want to start off broadly here. Since Charlie Kirk's assassination, 31 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: it has appeared to me with the people that I 32 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: talked to in real life that it is kind of 33 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: illuminated the fact that Charlie's ideas were a lot more 34 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: mainstream than a lot of people think. I think Peggy 35 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: Noonan in the Wall Street Journal said something similar that 36 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: like eighty percent of the country is starting to realize 37 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: that twenty percent were very loud are actually controlling the 38 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: narrative in so many ways. Is that something that you feel, 39 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: And I recognize this as an anecdotal question, so we're 40 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: going to get an anecdotal answer. That's something that you 41 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: feel when you talk to constituents and is it really 42 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: impacting anything in the halls of the Senate the way 43 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: that your colleagues are viewing Holy cow, a lot more 44 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: of our constituency seems to be a little bit more 45 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: conservative that than we might have thought. 46 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 3: So let me say yes on the first question and 47 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 3: no on the second. Listen, I think with the American people, 48 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 3: there's a real reservoir of common sense. 49 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 2: And that's one of the things that Charlie appreciated. 50 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 3: It's one of the real values of turning point is 51 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 3: going on to college campuses. 52 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: I think young people are eager to hear the truth. 53 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 3: And some of that is driven by the fact that 54 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 3: I think in recent years we've seen the left. 55 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 2: We've seen the Democrat Party really get radicalized. 56 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 3: And I think that started with the election of Donald 57 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 3: Trump in twenty sixteen, that they hate him so much 58 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 3: that it drove him to looney tune. And where we 59 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 3: are today, if you pick a dozen issues that are 60 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: eighty twenty issues, it seems today's Democrat Party has decided, 61 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: let's go embrace the twenty percent side, or even sometimes 62 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 3: ninety ten issues. 63 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: So you know, border security. 64 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 3: It used to be I was first elected to the 65 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 3: Senate in twenty twelve. When I got here, Democrats would 66 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 3: say all the time, we should secure the border. 67 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 2: You can pull up speeches. We've all seen speeches. 68 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 3: Of Chuck Schumer or Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden saying 69 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 3: we should secure the border. Today, every Democrat was for 70 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: the open borders we had over the last four years for. 71 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: Twelve million people that invaded this country. 72 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 3: That is a wildly unpopular policy position. That is a 73 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 3: twenty percent or ten percent issue you look at. Even 74 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 3: after Trump was reelected, we've seen legal border crossings drop 75 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 3: ninety nine percent. 76 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 2: And what are Democrats doing. They're getting on a plane. 77 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: They're flying down the El Salvador and having dackeries with 78 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 3: a gang banger human trafficker. Now, that's a weird political 79 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 3: decision to say, you know what, I want to go home. 80 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 3: I want to go home and tell suburban moms if 81 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 3: you elect me, I'll bring more gang bangers and murderers 82 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: and human traffickers into your neighborhood. 83 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 2: With your kids like that. 84 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 3: You don't have to be a political nostrodamist to know 85 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 3: that's not the best campaign issue. They keep doing this 86 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 3: over and over and over again. Abolish the police. That 87 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 3: is a dumb ass idea normal rational people don't look 88 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 3: around and go, you know what we need to do, 89 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 3: just get rid of all cops and let criminals run 90 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 3: wild like people who are not idiots don't want to 91 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 3: do that. That has done a real favor because it 92 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: lets Donald Trump, It lets Republicans be the party of 93 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 3: common sense. 94 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 2: Like you know, I was just reelected in Texas and. 95 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: And and my campaign, I said, all right, what do 96 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 3: I want to do. I want low taxes, low regulations, 97 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 3: lots of small businesses growing, and. 98 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 2: Lots of jobs. 99 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 3: I want to secure the border, support law enforcement so 100 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 3: we keep our families safe. And I want to protect 101 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 3: our constitutional rights free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment. 102 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 3: That is an eminently common sense position. And I think 103 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 3: Charlie got that, and he would go on to college 104 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 3: campuses and engage, engage with people. 105 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: On the left. 106 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 3: But do it with a smile, do it do it 107 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 3: with with with laughter and common sense and empathy. 108 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 2: Look, some of the best exchanges that. 109 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 3: Charlie had were with someone who say, is transgender and 110 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 3: is struggling with it, And Charlie could be empathetic, didn't 111 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 3: just you know, immediately respond by hitting the person over 112 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 3: the head with a stick and saying I hate you, 113 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 3: I hate you, I hate you, but saying you know, 114 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 3: tell me more about what's going on in your life 115 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 3: and and and why you see it that way. I 116 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 3: think all of that is beneficial and we need a lot. 117 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: More of it. 118 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know about you. The kitchen table issue 119 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: in my household is I want to make sure that 120 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: Maryland father is free. That's the only thing my wife 121 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: and I talk about. And of course I think that's 122 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: what's going around the entire the entire country. It seems like, yeah, 123 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: the left is a continuing to believe everything on x 124 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: formally Twitter, and think that that represents the entirety of 125 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: the country. More specifically, you've introduced a bill pre Charlie 126 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: Kirk's assassination of trying to figure out where these violent 127 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: protesters are getting the resources to engage in violent protests. 128 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: I've been wondering this the whole thing, this whole time. 129 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: Can you explain why there wouldn't be investigations the types 130 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: that you're trying to introduce to follow the money and 131 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: where people are getting gas masks, where they're getting these 132 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: materials to riot and burn down cities. 133 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 3: Look I hope and believe the DOJ and FBI are 134 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 3: actively investigating that right now. I have been urging for 135 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 3: years follow the money, go to the source. And let's 136 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 3: rewind during the Biden administration when we saw anti Semitic 137 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 3: protests at college campuses all over the country. Those were 138 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 3: not organic. They didn't just spring up out of nowhere. 139 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 3: I'm not the only person who noticed that almost all 140 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: of the tents matched. That the radicals who are threatening 141 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 3: students and harassing students are all wearing matching vests. There's 142 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 3: clearly money behind it. By the way, you rewind to 143 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 3: the Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA riots all across the country, 144 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 3: is the country lit on fire? 145 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: There was clearly money behind that. 146 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 3: You look at the riots earlier this year in LA 147 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 3: for open borders that were then replicated in other cities. 148 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 3: There was clearly money behind that. And when Biden was president, 149 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 3: I urged the dj follow the money, and they wouldn't 150 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 3: do so. I think the reason they wouldn't do so 151 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 3: is they actually supported the rioters. They were rooting for 152 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 3: the protesters and the rioters. And by the way, at 153 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 3: the time that was happening on college campuses, it was 154 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 3: fashionable to say, well, gosh, this is happening everywhere. 155 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: It's terrible. And my response is, wait a second, no, 156 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 2: it's not. 157 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 3: This is happening in blue states with Democrat governors. This 158 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 3: is happening in New York, in Connecticut, in Pennsylvania. It's 159 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 3: happening in Illinois. It's happening in California. It's happening in 160 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 3: Washington State. It ain't happening in Florida. It ain't happening 161 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 3: in Texas, Texas. They tried to riot at the University 162 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 3: of Texas. Cop showed up, arrested them all, and it 163 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 3: was over in one day because. 164 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 2: You actually had elected officials who said, we're going to 165 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 2: protect the students. 166 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 3: You don't have a right to harass and threaten the 167 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,239 Speaker 3: safety of your fellow. 168 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 2: Students, and if you do, you will be arrested. 169 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 3: And by the way, when they arrested them, they discovered 170 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 3: at UT more than half of them had no connection 171 00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 3: to UT. They weren't students, they were agutive that came 172 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 3: in from the outside. The Biden DOJ would not follow 173 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 3: the money because I think much of the money is 174 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 3: coming from the same people who fund Joe Biden, the 175 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 3: Democrats so George Soros, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. 176 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 3: I think there's also money likely coming from foreign nations 177 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 3: like Cutter, like Iran. 178 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 2: Like China. 179 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 3: I think there's a combination of foreign enemies who hate 180 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 3: us and want to sew division, and local communists and 181 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 3: anarchists who hate us and want to sew division. And 182 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 3: if you want to shut it down, part of it 183 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 3: is go and arrest anyone all of these anti ICE 184 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 3: protesters and rioters who engage in violence. Every one of 185 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 3: them ought to be put in jail if you engage 186 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 3: in violence and threaten others. But if you really want 187 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 3: to stop it, you got to go after the money. 188 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 3: You got to cut off the money. And and so 189 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 3: that's what I've urged both Pambondi and Cash Mattel to 190 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 3: do is prosecute the people writing checks that are funding 191 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 3: this domestic terrorism, because that's what this is, is domestic terrorists. 192 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: Well, and considering how often the Libs claim that right 193 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: wing violence is a big issue, you'd think they'd get 194 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: on board with this stuff too, because hey, you know, 195 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: all political violence is bad, and I think we could 196 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: all agree on that. But there's a one side that's 197 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: accusing without evidence to the other side that seems to 198 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: be more prominent on the Lib side of the aisle. 199 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: Speaking of protests, right, we've obviously seen so many protests 200 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: around the country in support of terrorist organizations like Hamas. 201 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: What we don't see on college campuses is any uproar 202 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: or any uprising against an actual genocide going on in Nigeria. 203 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: You've talked about this at length, tens of thousands of 204 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: Christians being killed, tens of thousands of Christian churches being 205 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: shut down by the Nigerian government, by the way, not 206 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: just some organization that's attacking the government. What can we 207 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: do to kind of bring more attention to that? I mean, 208 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: Bill Maher talked about it on his show last week, 209 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: and he's no conservative by any stretch of the imagination, 210 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: but he understands consistency. What is it that you're trying 211 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: to do in regards to the Nigeria situation and how 212 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: can we bring attention to that? 213 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 3: Well, Look, what's happening in Nigeria is an absolute horror. 214 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 3: It is mass murder. Since two thousand and nine, more 215 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 3: than fifty two thousand Christians have been murdered in Nigeria, 216 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 3: and you have jihadists who are persecuting, they are kidnapping 217 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 3: little girls, they're going and murdering, They're going to Christian 218 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 3: towns and they're murdering entire families and systematically persecuting them 219 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 3: because of their Christian faith. We've had over twenty thousand 220 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 3: churches and religious institutions burned or destroyed. I mean is 221 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 3: it is an absolute campaign of oppression. It's carried out 222 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 3: by terrorist groups, by Jihadis groups like Bokoharram, but it's 223 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 3: also carried out by the government. That there were twelve 224 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 3: regional governments in Nigeria that have on the book Sharia 225 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 3: law and blasphemy laws, and so the government will will 226 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 3: persecute you if you dare believe in Jesus Christ as 227 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 3: your Lord and savior. And this is we ought to 228 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 3: stand against it. I've introduced legislation that would impose strict 229 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 3: sanctions on the Nigerian government on any Nigerian government official 230 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 3: that participates in enforcing Sharia law or blasphemy laws that 231 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 3: targets and persecutes Christians. And we have enormous leverage by 232 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 3: imposing sanctions and imposing sanctions in a way to change 233 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 3: their behavior and stop this mass murder. 234 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: Senator Kruz, thank you so much. This well, so, just 235 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: so you know, Charlie set this show up to be 236 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: of a more satirical and snarky take on the news 237 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: of the day. It airs very late at night, so 238 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: I appreciate you taking some serious questions. A somewhat comical question, 239 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: considering that the federal government is shut down. Is there 240 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: any way and I will accept probably as an or 241 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: maybe as an answer, that you would consider introducing a 242 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: bill that pro rates my income tax so long as 243 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: the federal government is shut down. I feel like that 244 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: would be a fair Okay, I think. 245 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 2: That's a damn good argument. But I have to confess 246 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 2: that if we pass. 247 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 3: It, you might suddenly have Republicans agree with the Democrats 248 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 3: we want to shut it down. And by the way, 249 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 3: all right, so you and I are doing this. It's 250 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 3: October first. The government has been shut down since twelve 251 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 3: oh one, am. Let me ask you, is your life 252 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 3: massively materially different. 253 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: Other than you know, stepping over the piles of dead 254 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 1: bodies in the streets on the way to the studio, 255 00:13:55,400 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: which of course happens when the government shuts down. No, actually, I. 256 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 2: Mean tell me at twelve oh one am. 257 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 3: Did you wake up in your bed screaming that's somewhere 258 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 3: there's a bureaucrat not getting a paycheck. 259 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: You know, I can't say that I did. 260 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 3: Look, the nightmare for every Democrat is what happens if 261 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 3: the government shuts down and nobody notices. And that really 262 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 3: is Look, they're the party of government. It's all about 263 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 3: government power. Listen, this shutdown will will wrap up. Eventually, 264 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 3: it will wrap up. So the Democrats say they're doing 265 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 3: it because they want healthcare free llegals, which again is 266 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 3: wildly unpopular. We're talking about eighty twenty issues. Let's pick 267 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 3: a twenty percent issue and say we're going to shut 268 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 3: down your government so we can pay for free health 269 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 3: care for people here illegally. That, by the way, we 270 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 3: let in illegally because we want more Democrat voters. That's 271 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 3: wildly unpopular. But here's the truth of it is, that's 272 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 3: a lie. That's not actually why they shut the government down. 273 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 3: They shut the government down because they're left wing. Base 274 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 3: is angry, and Chuck Schumer is a woos he's scared hit. 275 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 3: A couple of months ago, when Congress kept the government open, 276 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 3: Schumer agreed to do so, and the left wing base 277 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 3: got furious, and Schumer is looking over his left shoulder 278 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 3: and AOC is chasing him, and Schumer is scared. 279 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 2: Of a little girl. 280 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: He's scared of. 281 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 3: A communist bartender from New York City who's good at 282 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 3: primary And so Schumer is shutting the government down for 283 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 3: one purpose to say, see how much I hate Donald Trump, me, 284 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 3: Tarzan you, Jane rh like. It's so they have no 285 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 3: ask And so when will this end? 286 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: I don't know. 287 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 3: Whenever Schumer ends his temper tantrum, whenever he's demonstrated. 288 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 2: To the crazies. 289 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 3: And these are the same idiots that are rioting in 290 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 3: LA for open borders and rioting on campuses for hamas. 291 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 3: So I'm not sure when you ever assuage marks idiots. 292 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 3: But this is a Schumer shutdown and a temper tantrum, 293 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 3: and that's what's really going on. And I got to say, 294 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 3: we're only a day into it, but you can see 295 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 3: in the eyes of the Democrats they're like darting around 296 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 3: and they know, oh crap, this is not going well. 297 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 3: Because even the useful idiots that is the corporate media, 298 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,400 Speaker 3: there's no way to pitch this other than we're shutting 299 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 3: the government down because Democrats are mad, and so it's 300 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 3: it's a strange world. 301 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: We live in, Sindra. I hope you are enjoying as 302 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: much as I am them on the lefty news channels 303 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: trying to drum up. Okay, well, inflation numbers are going 304 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: to come out next week, and if the government is 305 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: shut down, what if people don't get their inflation numbers, 306 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: to which the American populace goes, Okay, well will be fine, 307 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: thank you. 308 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 3: Somehow we will survive. Look, look, a little bit of 309 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 3: just just facts. Government shutdown is a misnomer. And actually 310 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 3: I've got my fourteen year old daughter's been texting me 311 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 3: all day. Okay, what's the shutdown? What is that mean? 312 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 3: Why is it happening? And by the way, explaining it 313 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 3: on text to your daughter is really hard. But listen, 314 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 3: In any government shut down, typically about seventeen eighteen percent 315 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 3: of the government shuts down, about eighty two to eighty 316 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 3: three percent of the government keeps going, so all essential 317 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 3: services keep going. The military keeps doing its important job 318 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 3: of keeping us safe. Law enforcement, the FBI keeps working, 319 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 3: Border patrol keeps working, Ice keeps working, so security, Medicare, Medicaid, 320 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 3: those all keep working. Every cabinet secretary has to designate 321 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 3: go through their employees and designate which employees are essential 322 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 3: and which employees are non essential, and the non essential 323 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 3: ones are required to stay home. So I remember years 324 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 3: ago when Bill Clinton was president, the Commerce Department put 325 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,959 Speaker 3: out a press release that said seventy percent of their 326 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:53,640 Speaker 3: employees were deemed non essential. 327 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 2: But the same press release. 328 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 3: Said, fear not all of our critical job responsibilities are 329 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 3: being carried out. And I'm like, fantastic, You've just set 330 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 3: a new baseline. You need thirty percent of your employees 331 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 3: because apparently you can do everything you're supposed to do 332 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 3: with seventy percent of the folks at home. 333 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 2: But what does it mean Practically? It means things like 334 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 2: National park shutdown. 335 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 3: So if you were going to go to a national 336 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 3: park this weekend, if you're going to go to Yosemite 337 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 3: with your family, it's closed. If you were taking your 338 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 3: family to DC and you wanted to go to the 339 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 3: Smithsonian go see the Air and Space Museum, it's closed. 340 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 3: National Institutes of Health Cancer Research the funding for that 341 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 3: that's shutdown. Government paychecks have largely stopped. Actually, ironically, there's 342 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 3: one set of government paychecks that doesn't stop, and that 343 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 3: is members of Congress because under the twenty eighth Amendment, 344 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 3: you can't stop the salaries for members of Congress. So 345 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 3: I did yesterday something I've done every shutdown, which is 346 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 3: I send a letter to the Secretary of the Senate saying, 347 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 3: please hold my paycheck. Do not give me my paycheck 348 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 3: until the government reopens, because I don't think it's right 349 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 3: for me to get paid while while the rest of 350 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 3: government employees are not getting paid. But I will tell 351 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 3: you something that's changed the whole dynamic here, which is 352 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 3: the Trump White House. Russ Vote is, the head of 353 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 3: the Office Management and Budget, wrote a memo that said, 354 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 3: if Democrats force a shutdown, we are going to use 355 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 3: that opportunity to do permanent layoffs, to do reduction in 356 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:29,159 Speaker 3: forces in every agency, and to give pink slips to 357 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 3: all the left wing bureaucrats that are advancing left wing 358 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 3: policies that the President disagrees with. 359 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 2: And I think they're going to. 360 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 3: Do that, and I think you are going to see 361 00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 3: Democrats screaming and wailing and gnashing their teeth as they 362 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 3: start seeing pink slips come in, one after the other 363 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 3: after the other, and eventually they'll just concede and say 364 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 3: never mind, and things will reopen, and then they'll return 365 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 3: to just just saying again, I hate Donald Trump, but okay, 366 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 3: I guess I'll let the government be funny. 367 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: Yes, it's it's it's fascinating to watch from an outside perspective. 368 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,959 Speaker 1: Obviously it's different inside the whole Congress, but from an 369 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: outside perspective, rolling our eyes, it don't They don't seem 370 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 1: to roll back far enough, especially especially considering I don't 371 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: think many friends across the aisle from your are taking 372 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: that same pledge to avoid getting their paycheck in order 373 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 1: until the government shuts reopens. 374 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 3: It's an awfully good question, and I don't know the answer. 375 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 3: But you know what, no reporter will ask them, but 376 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 3: they couldn't think to. 377 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 2: I mean, the. 378 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 3: Reporters are are really when it comes to Democrats, they're 379 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 3: like groupies at a rolling Stone concert. 380 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 2: They run at. 381 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 3: Democrats, they throw their patties at the democrats. 382 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 2: By the way, that's just the guys, but it's bad. 383 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 3: I mean, that's who the press are, and so they're 384 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 3: just the Democrats are are paralyzed because they're like, Okay, 385 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,479 Speaker 3: this is not going well, and even our fangirls are 386 00:20:59,520 --> 00:20:59,959 Speaker 3: not helping them. 387 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: I hate to stop you in you're auto rule in 388 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: case that's something that you do want, Senator, And the 389 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: next time I see you in person, I'll make sure 390 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: to hand you a pair of my boxers.

I committed the Chuck 407 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 3: Schumer would because it would ensure that no human being 408 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 3: ever voted Democrat again. It would permanently end the vote 409 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 3: for the Democrats. 410 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: Unfortunately, would also permanently cancel all of our viewership. Nobody 411 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 1: wants to see that. 412 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 3: Well, you know, you know the gift of Homer Simpson 413 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 3: pouring pouring bleach on his eyes. That that that is 414 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 3: clearly what would happen. 415 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: Amazing, Senator Cruz, thank you so much for taking the time. 416 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: Like I said, this is the lighter hearted show generally speaking, 417 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: I appreciate you.

And look wrapping up where we started, 421 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 3: Charlie loved to laugh. I mean, you know, as you know, 422 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 3: he and I were good friends. I met Charlie when 423 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 3: he was an eighteen year old kid. I mean, he 424 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 3: was fresh out of high school. And I remember sitting 425 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 3: in a friend's living room and this tall, lanky high 426 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 3: school kid was pitching, Okay, we're going to build an 427 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 3: organization that's going to connect to young people, and it's 428 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 3: going to energize young people, and it's going to help 429 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 3: inspire them to love liberty and to love free enterprise, 430 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 3: and love the Constitution. 431 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 2: And love America. 432 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 3: And this is right after Barack Obama had been reelected. 433 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 3: The Democrats were on top of the world that they 434 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 3: had majorities, They felt unbeatable, and at the time, for 435 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 3: young people, being a lefty Obama. 436 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 2: Supporter was very cool. 437 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 3: And so what Charlie was talking about sounded I loved 438 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 3: the sound of it, but it sounded like, well, that's 439 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 3: going to be tough to get young people to not 440 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 3: be you know, hip Obamas. And I got to say 441 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,920 Speaker 3: the journey from you know, I've probably spoken, I don't 442 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 3: know to a dozen Turning Point conferences. It is incredible, 443 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 3: the energy, the passion thousands of young people. And one 444 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 3: of the things Charlie did and all of Turning Point 445 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 3: everyone is done, it is made it cool to be conservative, 446 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 3: made it cool to love America, made it cool to 447 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 3: love freedom, made it cool to have fun that you 448 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 3: didn't have to be you know. So many Republicans act 449 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,040 Speaker 3: like they got to stick insert it somewhere doesn't belong 450 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 3: like relax, laugh, have fun. Yeah, And I think that's 451 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 3: something that that there are lots of ways we can 452 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 3: remember Charlie and his legacy. But one of the ways 453 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 3: we can remember is to laugh and have fun, not 454 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 3: take yourself so seriously that that that that everything is 455 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 3: life and death. 456 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 2: That you can just you. 457 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 3: Can be be grateful for the incredible privileges of being 458 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 3: an American and being free. 459 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: Well, Senator, I apologize for taking more time than we 460 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: promised your press team, but just to briefly comment on 461 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: that that's why I got brought into the loop that 462 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: I'm a comedian by trade who happens to pay attention 463 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: to the news, and Charlie understood that, yes, you can 464 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: convince people through logic and reason and arguments, but also 465 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: people get brought to the conservative movement by humor and entertainment. 466 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 1: And that's something that the conservative movement has been missing 467 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: for a very long time. 468 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Kumera is powerful. I grew up watching SNL. 469 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 3: I love of comedy and laughter is it is much 470 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 3: more effective. 471 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 2: All right, you want this will be before your time. 472 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 3: But one of the most effective press conferences Ronald Reagan's 473 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 3: president and Sam Donaldson who was the ABC News reporter 474 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 3: and he was a jerk and he was like pounding Reagan. 475 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 3: So they're doing a press conference at the White House, 476 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 3: and Sam Donaldson says, mister President, you have blamed the 477 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 3: problems in this country. You blame them on Tip O'Neil, 478 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 3: the Democrats speaker in the House. You blame them on 479 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 3: Democrats in the House. You blame them on Democrats in 480 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 3: the Senate. Sam Donaldson goes, mister President, you're President of 481 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 3: the United States. Don't you bear any responsibility for the 482 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 3: problems in America? And Reagan, with a twinkle in his eye, 483 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 3: he leans forward and goes, well, well, Sam, yes, yes, 484 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 3: I do. I bear considerable responsibility because for many years 485 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 3: I was a Democrat. And even Donaldson cracks up laughing 486 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 3: like the end of the clip. You can google it 487 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 3: and watch it, watch it online. Sam Donaldson has just 488 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 3: reduced to laughter. That communicates a lot more effectively than 489 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 3: just screaming and banging a stick on someone. 490 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: Oh one hundred percent. I'd love to sit down at 491 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: length and talk about all. I mean his debate with 492 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: Mondale where they were arguing about his age and he said, well, 493 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: I will not let my opponents youth. Did experience be 494 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 1: a factor in this election, and. 495 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 3: It eliminated the whole issue it was with that one 496 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 3: quip and you go back and read the accounts. His 497 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 3: team had all these strategies and he said, guys, I 498 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 3: got this one. So they apparently they didn't know he 499 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 3: was going to use that line and they found out 500 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 3: when he said it to debate. 501 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: Oh that's great, awesome, Hey, send recruise again.

Well, that 507 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 1: was fun. Just so you at home.

But you 510 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,840 Speaker 1: also don't want to stop a guy when he's rolling. 511 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: How was it? That was fun?

And you can't tell 522 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 1: me that illegals don't vote if you can secure a 523 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,639 Speaker 1: job that anybody would take. All that more coming up 524 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 1: after the break. Don't go away, We'll be right back. 525 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,959 Speaker 1: Welcome back to turning Point tonight. We're together. We are 526 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: charting the course of America's cultural comeback through the mockery 527 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: of horrible lib ideas. You can email the show anytime 528 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: you want TBT at TPUSA dot com. We lift seeing 529 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 1: each and every one of your emails. If you have 530 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: thoughts about anything that ted CRUSINIZI, if you would like 531 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: to start a petition or a movement that says, yeah, 532 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: we shouldn't have to pay income tax when the government 533 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,480 Speaker 1: is shut down. If you're going to go to your 534 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: local small business, if they're closed, you can't give them 535 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: any money. And unfortunately we you know, can't pay income 536 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: tax when the government is shut down. I just you know, 537 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: buyproduct of the government shutting down. How how can we 538 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 1: possibly pay income tax here? If you know we're not 539 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: getting the government that we pay for. If you have 540 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: any of those sorts of thoughts, TBT at TPUSA dot com, 541 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: we lift seeing each and every one of your e 542 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: that will hopefully get to a little bit later on 543 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 1: in the show time permitting this, I thought was fascinating. 544 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: President Trump did warn us about this that we may 545 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: get tired of winning, and I think he got one 546 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: word wrong. I'm not tired of winning, but I do 547 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: get tired from winning. There's just there's a lot of 548 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: wins that keep coming policy wise, even in the midst 549 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: of terrible tragedy. It just so happens that conservative ideas 550 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: win and continue to win. I think Charlie himself would 551 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: even say that, well, if reality is what we're fighting for, 552 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: we're going to win the day. And that seems to 553 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: be what is happening. We are winning again against this time. 554 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: The Anti Defamation League the ADL had listed Turning Point 555 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: USA as a hate and extremist group in their glossary 556 00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: of hate and extremism, which is hilarious. Go ahead and 557 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: pull this up. This was on the ad Yelle's website 558 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: listed Turning Point USA a group that just they give 559 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: a whole description and it goes on and on and 560 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: on of why Turning Point is included in the hate 561 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: and extremism and yeah, that is of course ridiculous, and 562 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: we'll get to the point that we actually won in 563 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: this particular instance. But what's also interesting is they do 564 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: have Antifa in there, but there are some caveats which 565 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: I thought were fascinating. The caveats in this description on 566 00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: the ADL's website and their glossary for Extremism and hate 567 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 1: says that while some Antifa adherents have engaged in violence 568 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: or of vandalism at rallies and events, this of course 569 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: is not the norm. Oh, okay, you're right. I usually 570 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: when I think of Antifa, I think of just nice, polite, 571 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: kind people sipping tea or coffee at the local cafe, 572 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: just gathering around, discussing ideas about how they can stop fascism, 573 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: maybe even discussing what fascism means, because apparently none of 574 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: them know what fascism means. Because the ironically named Antifa 575 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: is the most fascist group in the country, that's maybe 576 00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,479 Speaker 1: why they were listed as a domestic terrorist organization by 577 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 1: the president, because well, sipping coffee at a cafe is 578 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 1: not what anyone thinks when they think of antifa. It's this, 579 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: the mostly peaceful protests that result in people burning down cities. Now, 580 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: the good news here is that because conservatives and because 581 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: people are starting to realize that eighty percent of the 582 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: country agrees on what conservatives think, and unfortunately we've been 583 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: duped by the people that are very, very loud, but 584 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: still a minority in their thinking. Well, we're winning yet again. 585 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: The ADL has since taken down their glossary of extremism 586 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: and hate because we effectively won. We complained enough, and 587 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: complained is not the right term. Pointed out the fact 588 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: that this glossary was ridiculous and nonsensical, and so the 589 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: ADL has taken it down. President Trump came out against it. 590 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: Elon Musk came out against it, and they have officially 591 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: removed the extremism glossary, which labeled Turning Point USA and 592 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: Christianity as a whole as terrorist slash hate groups. Fantastic, 593 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: great job, Americans. We will continue winning and not get 594 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: tired of winning. But you know, get some rest because 595 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: we may be tired from winning. That doesn't mean we 596 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: won't keep winning. Get your beauty sleep, because the winning 597 00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: will continue as we move forward. Speaking of winning, it 598 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,440 Speaker 1: would be let me know this, would you take a 599 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: job that pays three hundred thousand dollars? Every single person, 600 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: including me, would go yes, Yes, I would. I would 601 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 1: love that job. What I'm trying to say is that 602 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: everybody would happily accept a position that pays that amount 603 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: of money, because that is an obs amount of money, 604 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: especially if you're working for a government entity. The problem 605 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: is not all of us can get those jobs. We 606 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: are trying all actively to make an amount of money 607 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: that is somewhere close to that. 608 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 2: It is a very. 609 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 1: Difficult job to procure. If you're trying to make money, 610 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 1: it's difficult to make up to three hundred thousand dollars. Apparently, though, 611 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: it was possible for an illegal alien who was the 612 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: superintendent of the Des Moines School district. You might have 613 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 1: heard about this story already. Ian Roberts, of course, a 614 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: traditional African name, was making a ton of money that 615 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:42,720 Speaker 1: we all would envy, lying about his citizenship that, well, 616 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: he's a citizen of this country and should definitely have 617 00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: this job. DEI much. I really want to play this 618 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: clip from the Board of Education when they found out 619 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,640 Speaker 1: that he was in the country illegally. And there's something 620 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: is a new evolving part of this that is very 621 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,400 Speaker 1: very interesting that I definitely want to highlight. After this clip, 622 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: watch this. 623 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 4: DMPs reviewed doctor Roberts I nine, where he stated he 624 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 4: was a US citizen and provided two forms of ID, 625 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 4: a driver's license and a Social Security card, and Denton's 626 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 4: Davis Brown determined the information submitted was consistent with his 627 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 4: claim that. 628 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 5: He was a US citizen. 629 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 6: However, in the past twenty four hours, the Iowa Board 630 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,719 Speaker 6: of Educational Examiners revoked doctor Roberts's license, meaning he is 631 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,919 Speaker 6: not able to serve as a superintendent in our state. 632 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 6: Yesterday afternoon, the Department of Homeland Security informed us that 633 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 6: he is not eligible to work in the United States 634 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 6: and therefore could not be employed in any fashion at DMPs. 635 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,919 Speaker 1: Okay, So not only is in the country legally, he's 636 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: not authorized to work in this country. There's also something 637 00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,320 Speaker 1: interesting that they said there. Doctor Ian Roberts have a 638 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: doctorate either. Apparently in his twenty twenty three according to 639 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: the Associated Press twenty twenty three application for the school district, 640 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 1: he said yeah, I have a let me get this right, 641 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 1: a doctorate in urban educational leadership from Morgan State University 642 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:19,239 Speaker 1: in two thousand and seven. Although the Morgan State University 643 00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: Registrar's office said yeah, he was enrolled here, he never 644 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,799 Speaker 1: actually received that degree. I mean, of course, if you're 645 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: gonna lie about your citizenship, your work status, why would 646 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: you not. Just add, I can't believe he only put 647 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: one doctorate on there, put like three or four. There's 648 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 1: a guy, what's his name, Richard Reschi. He's a young Turks, 649 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: guy who has clearly made up several doctors. The guy's 650 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: got like nine doctorates. Go look him up. He's a 651 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: terrible person on the young Turks. But he just made 652 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 1: up a bunch of doctorate degrees that he has. And 653 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:51,479 Speaker 1: that's what this guy was doing. But the key point 654 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: here is if you remember they said, well he provided 655 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: a social Security card and a driver's license. Yeah, that's 656 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 1: the problem with a bunch of these lib states. They 657 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,920 Speaker 1: just give you a social Security card even if you're 658 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,360 Speaker 1: not a citizen. They just give you a driver's license 659 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 1: even if you're not a citizen. So providing those two 660 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: things is in no way prove that one, you're eligible 661 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: to work here. At two, you're a freaking US citizen. Now, 662 00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,400 Speaker 1: of course you may be thinking as I am, if 663 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: you can secure a three hundred thousand dollars a year job, 664 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 1: there's no way that illegals aren't also voting if they 665 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 1: can if illegal, since the can secure job with a 666 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 1: salary that every single person in this country would envy 667 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 1: unless you're unbelievably rich. So that's not the people I'm 668 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 1: talking about. I'm just talking about normal everyday people. 669 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 2: Me and you. 670 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: If you can secure a three hundred thousand dollars year 671 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: job as an illegal, there's no way the illegals aren't voting, 672 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: which is the case for Ian Roberts, again a traditional 673 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: African name. The dude, the illegal immigrant from Guyana was 674 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,720 Speaker 1: apparently also receiving mail in ballots since twenty twenty from Maryland. 675 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 1: So there you have it. The folks that say elections 676 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: are safe and secure and there's no way illegals can 677 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,320 Speaker 1: even vote with the system that we have are a 678 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: bunch of liars who are full of bodily excrement that 679 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to say on TV. So there's that. 680 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 1: We will keep you posted on anything that comes from 681 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: this story. Our meat. Dylan, friend of the show, by 682 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: the way, said that they are going to investigate Dei 683 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 1: practices because he did check all the boxes. Black illegal 684 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: immigrant with a fake doctorate. Yeah, sure, go ahead and 685 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,480 Speaker 1: hire that guy. That's let's not look at the merit 686 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 1: at all. Let's just go ahead and hire him because 687 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 1: it checks a box and meets our quota. Coming up, 688 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 1: President Trump yesterday, well, over the course of the last 689 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: couple days, but yesterday we talked about the hilarious sombrero gait, 690 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 1: which is if you haven't heard about it, you're gonna 691 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 1: love this. We did talk about it yesterday, but we 692 00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 1: obviously there was a live event that kind of ran 693 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 1: a little bit long. No problem. If you're listening to 694 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: the podcast, you heard this yesterday. We're going to repeat 695 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 1: some of it. But trust in knowing that there is 696 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: a new hilarious update that we will also be bringing 697 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: to you. Don't go away, it will be right back 698 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 1: after the break. Welcome back to turning point tonight. We're together. 699 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: We are continuing to chart the course of America's cultural 700 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,520 Speaker 1: comeback through mockery of horrible lib ideas. I'm laughing thinking 701 00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: about what we're going to get into with this segment. 702 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 4: Now. 703 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 1: Yesterday we covered this at length, but we did get 704 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 1: preempted because they're trying to censor me. No, it's a 705 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: TPUSA event that went a little bit long, and that 706 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: it's totally fine. If you'd like to see the segment 707 00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,360 Speaker 1: from yesterday, you can go to our YouTube channel or 708 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,719 Speaker 1: a Real America's Voices website where it is live there. 709 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 1: But in case you missed all of that, let me 710 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: just briefly set you up on something that I think 711 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 1: is one of the funnier things I think I've ever 712 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 1: seen in my lifetime maybe, and it is the fact 713 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,920 Speaker 1: that being a hilarious president is not in fact a crime. 714 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,640 Speaker 1: If you're seeing picture of the first time, that's good. 715 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: You don't spend enough time on Twitter or x and 716 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 1: that's that's a good thing. But if if you're not, 717 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: you know what's coming. Trust me, there are some updates 718 00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,719 Speaker 1: that you're not going to want to miss. President Trump 719 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: posted to the Truth social platform this hilarious, clearly AI video. 720 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: Nobody is disputing that. Nobody's trying to say he's putting 721 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,360 Speaker 1: words in the mouth of his opponents. Now, this is 722 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,520 Speaker 1: clearly a joke. It might as well be a cartoon 723 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: that just happens to be in video formats in which 724 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:32,919 Speaker 1: he put Keith Jeffries in a sombrero, or to play 725 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,359 Speaker 1: the original clip, and then we'll go, we'll go timeline 726 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:42,960 Speaker 1: on the fallout or the response from the folks involved. 727 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:43,360 Speaker 1: Watch this. 728 00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 7: There's no way to sugarcoat it. Nobody likes Democrats anymore. 729 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 7: We have no voters left because of all of our 730 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 7: woke trans bolt. Not even black people want to vote 731 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 7: for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need 732 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:56,840 Speaker 7: new voters. 733 00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,320 Speaker 8: And if we give all these illegal aliens free healthcare, 734 00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 8: we might be able to get them on our side 735 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 8: so they can vote for us. They can't even speak English, 736 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 8: so they won't realize we're just a bunch of woke 737 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,959 Speaker 8: pieces of shure, you know, at least for a while 738 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 8: until they learn English and they realize. 739 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:15,920 Speaker 3: They hate us too. 740 00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: So yesterday's segment was kind of on the fact that 741 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,400 Speaker 1: there's a difference. There's a difference with between that and 742 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 1: calling somebody a fascist and a Nazi. Is that something 743 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:30,400 Speaker 1: the President of the United States generally does objectively? No, 744 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:35,799 Speaker 1: But is it really that bad of a thing it's debatable. 745 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 1: What it definitely isn't is saying, like Joe Biden did 746 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:43,120 Speaker 1: that the existential threat to this country was half the country. God, 747 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,360 Speaker 1: there's a difference. Again. If you want that full segment 748 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 1: to go to our YouTube channel, you should subscribe to 749 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 1: our YouTube channel, regardless. Turning point tonight. So then Senor Hakim, 750 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:58,239 Speaker 1: as producer Glenn called him, responded, and somebody hilariously put 751 00:40:58,280 --> 00:40:59,960 Speaker 1: the video underneath his response. 752 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 9: Watch that, and mister President, the next time you have 753 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:12,880 Speaker 9: something to say about me, don't cop out so a 754 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:19,080 Speaker 9: racist and fake AI video. When I'm back in the 755 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 9: Oval office, say it to my face, say it to 756 00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 9: my face. 757 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 1: Hakeem Jefferies. I guarantee that he will say it to 758 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 1: your face. If there's anybody who's gonna say something directly 759 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,839 Speaker 1: to your face, it's the President of the United States. 760 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,400 Speaker 1: He has no problem say uh yeah, hey, you goofball, 761 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: here's what I think about you, and I'll say it 762 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,600 Speaker 1: to your face in front of all of the media. 763 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 1: Now that's what we covered yesterday. There was a new 764 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 1: update late last night. President Trump posted yet another video 765 00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: of Hikeem Jefferies talking about the in the horribly hilarious 766 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: video uh that was posted online by the President of 767 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: the United States.

One last thing, I think is what we're 831 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 1: calling it affectionately right now at TPUSA dot com, is 832 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,239 Speaker 1: the email I wanted to bring up several of these 833 00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,760 Speaker 1: other videos. I know we generally have fun in this segment. 834 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,839 Speaker 1: And again, as Ted Cruz and I are talking about 835 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:45,120 Speaker 1: extending Charlie's legacy by laughing at terrible ideas, don't take 836 00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:49,240 Speaker 1: libs as seriously as they take themselves. Well we aren't, unless, 837 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 1: of course, they are saying things that we one hundred 838 00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:56,120 Speaker 1: percent agree with. Then it's both funny, ironic and actually true. 839 00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:01,839 Speaker 1: That happened yesterday when Joy read our MSNBC host went 840 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: on some sort of podcast and said something that we 841 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,279 Speaker 1: all agree with, as if it was something bad that 842 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:12,640 Speaker 1: we wouldn't want. Look, these maga Republicans want this. 843 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:15,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, we do. 844 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:17,799 Speaker 1: Watch this clip and we'll discuss. 845 00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,320 Speaker 5: Is that if you go back before the twentieth century, 846 00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,840 Speaker 5: there were no income taxes, there were no regulations on business. 847 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,080 Speaker 5: You could earn as much money as you want, leave 848 00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,280 Speaker 5: one hundred percent of it to your children with no taxes. 849 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,919 Speaker 5: That's the world they want back. And to get it back, 850 00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,520 Speaker 5: they need society to change. They need people to be 851 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,440 Speaker 5: less modern, they need people to want fewer things. 852 00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, Joey, we're write we do want less regulation on businesses. 853 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:43,960 Speaker 1: We don't want taxes. We want to be able to 854 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,319 Speaker 1: leave the money that we have to our kids without 855 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:47,880 Speaker 1: having to fork over a bunch of it to the 856 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 1: federal government, who's just going to basically light it on 857 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,719 Speaker 1: fire if they don't bury it in the money hole pit. Yeah, 858 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:55,799 Speaker 1: we correct, that is what we want. 859 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 3: Now. 860 00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 1: The argument that she's making, because the context, I guess 861 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,920 Speaker 1: does matter little bit. She's saying, well, in order to 862 00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,200 Speaker 1: be the country that they want, you have to get 863 00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,040 Speaker 1: rid of all these things, which would by default eliminate 864 00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 1: all of the things that the government is doing. Again 865 00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:16,759 Speaker 1: to which we say, yes, you have to want less things. No, 866 00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,680 Speaker 1: you actually don't. You have to earn more things. Is 867 00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,320 Speaker 1: what we're actually hoping for. To say that good things 868 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,920 Speaker 1: come from the government is effectively the argument she's making. Look, 869 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,800 Speaker 1: if people don't pay taxes, the government won't get to 870 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,040 Speaker 1: do all of the things that the government does. Yeah, 871 00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:32,920 Speaker 1: you know, we're okay with that, We are okay with 872 00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 1: the risk of having to depend on ourselves instead of 873 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:40,319 Speaker 1: the government. Joy, thank you. We'll take it from here. Wow, 874 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 1: maga right right wing extremist joy raids saying exactly all 875 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:49,720 Speaker 1: the things that we want and pretending that it's somehow bad. Okay, 876 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,520 Speaker 1: let's see, we have time for this one. On the 877 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,760 Speaker 1: heels of a hag Seth saying yesterday that the military 878 00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,279 Speaker 1: should be based on meritocracy and that we should no 879 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:04,000 Speaker 1: longer have people that are unwet run ready to fight. MSNBC, 880 00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,480 Speaker 1: of course, had to melt down because meritocracy, for some reason, 881 00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 1: is racist in their eyes. Watch this. 882 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 10: Other individuals who are supposed to be leadership are using 883 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,200 Speaker 10: this kind of language. I call that the meritocracy myth. 884 00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 10: And it feels as though that that myth of meritocracy, 885 00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 10: this idea that all the women and the people of color, anybody, 886 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,000 Speaker 10: the LGBTQ folks, they are all there because. 887 00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:30,239 Speaker 2: Of some help or some preference. That idea is a lie. 888 00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,560 Speaker 2: But it feels as like it's a lie that they feel. 889 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,920 Speaker 10: Like takest especially has to tell because then they can 890 00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:36,840 Speaker 10: twist the narrative. 891 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,080 Speaker 2: They can twist the truth. You can hide excellence. It 892 00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 2: gives cover for his. 893 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,879 Speaker 10: Own mediocrity because he is unqualified. 894 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:42,719 Speaker 1: To be there. 895 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 2: They also have that line. 896 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,880 Speaker 11: He had that line about diversity is in our strength. 897 00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,040 Speaker 11: It is our strength, which made me wonder whether or 898 00:48:50,080 --> 00:48:55,400 Speaker 11: not there is room for diverse opinions, diverse races, religions 899 00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:56,960 Speaker 11: in his sense of unity. 900 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 2: I suspect not. You know, the the language that he uses. 901 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:08,360 Speaker 1: Oh, you don't think there's any room for diversity, because 902 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,560 Speaker 1: he said unity is are strength. By the way, that's true. 903 00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,960 Speaker 1: The United States is a powerful country because of our unity, 904 00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 1: not because of our diversity. Diversity is fine, I guess 905 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,360 Speaker 1: if it's implemented in a way that doesn't prioritize people 906 00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:26,440 Speaker 1: due to immutable characteristic, that's that's clearly bad. But unity 907 00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,840 Speaker 1: is actually our strength. And then to say, well, because 908 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,959 Speaker 1: they're focused on unity, there's no room for diversity, all right, cool, 909 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 1: Well that's those two things are not mutually exclusive. And 910 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 1: if you don't know that, maybe you shouldn't be on 911 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 1: cable news as a host. And jeez, we don't have 912 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:45,320 Speaker 1: time to get into the whole idea of why diminishing 913 00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:48,600 Speaker 1: the value of people comes when you have diversity hires. 914 00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:51,520 Speaker 1: But that's a conversation another time. Well, see you tomorrow, 915 00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:53,719 Speaker 1: same time, same place. God bless America.
