A Hadiman 21 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 6: County judge sentenced Mohammed in May in those cases, including 22 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 6: one involving a fifteen year old girl.

America has a history of. 33 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 7: Fighting and stopping of individuals who continue to divide people 34 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 7: and divide communities. 35 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 3: They complain and do nothing, but we don't want them 36 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 3: in our contract. Let them go back to where. 37 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: They came from and fix it. 38 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 4: There are as many as one hundred federal agents that 39 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 4: will be deployed to the Twin Cities with a specific 40 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 4: focus on targeting our Somali community. Targeting Somali people means 41 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 4: that due process will be violated, mistakes will be made, 42 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 4: and let's be clear, it means that American citizens will 43 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 4: be detained for no other reason than the fact that 44 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 4: they look like they are Somali. 45 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 8: Folks that are masked, that they're not sure if they're 46 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 8: law enforcement, that they may be kidnapping people like we 47 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 8: have had those reports.

You ought to put his 63 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 9: bags in the desk drawer walk away because he stopped 64 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 9: being a cop become a politician. Pam Binder and yours 65 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 9: returns are waiting to prosecute anybody that impedes law enforcement, ICE, 66 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 9: law enforcement, mortual law enforcement and doing their job. Zero 67 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 9: tolerance for impeding ICE in their operations. 68 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 3: Says addressed. 69 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: They reminds us that we have no greater national security 70 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: priority than injury. 71 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 11: That we have control over the people. 72 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 3: That enter and remain. 73 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 12: In our country. 74 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: For the most part, we don't want them. 75 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 11: They come in illegally, they have a lot of problems. 76 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: Their countries force them in because their countries are smart. 77 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: They don't want them. 78 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 11: Let's give them to the Americans to take care of. 79 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 3: They come out of jails in many. 80 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 11: Cases, mental institutions, the gang members, the drug dealers. 81 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: We don't want them. 82 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 13: You can only vet information that exists, right. You can 83 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 13: bet what people have done in the past. You can't 84 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 13: bet what people might do in the future. There's another 85 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,679 Speaker 13: dynamic at play here, and that is you can allow 86 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 13: someone into our country who has no history of radicalization, 87 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 13: perhaps they even have worked with you in the past, 88 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 13: but they are susceptible to radicalization once they enter the 89 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 13: United States because they don't assimilate well, because they fall 90 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 13: victim to some of this online propaganda and efforts to 91 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 13: radicalize people, and two or three years later you find 92 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 13: that they have radicalized. 93 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 14: That is a threat. That is a real threat. 94 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 15: Every day there's a battle for your mind, raging information 95 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 15: coming from every angle, but the will to deceive. 96 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 14: I fear not. 97 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 15: You found the place for truth, the voice and a 98 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 15: generation that still has the will to believe in the 99 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 15: greatest country in the history of the world. 100 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 14: This is the Charlie Kirk Show. Fuck a lot. 101 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 5: Here we go on. Good afternoon. Welcome to the Charlie 102 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 5: Kirk Show. 103 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 16: I'm Blake now for producer, and I'm joined here right 104 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 16: now by Tyler Bowyer. It feels weird. You're usually next 105 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 16: to me when we're doing thought Crime. I'm always here, 106 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 16: You're always there. It's a little different just to have 107 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 16: you across the desk like that. 108 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 3: Yeah. 109 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 14: No, it's great to see you eyed eye, Blake, because 110 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 14: I'm usually side eye. 111 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 16: Yeah, I'm always like and then I spend half of 112 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 16: thought Crime just with my head rotated like that on 113 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 16: the camera. But no, we wanted to have you on. 114 00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 16: So I have good news everyone. We had to warn 115 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 16: everyone about this. We said the Tennessee seventh races coming up. 116 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 16: Don't ignore it because Democrats definitely aren't ignoring it. And happily, 117 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 16: yesterday Matt Van Epps defeated Democrat Afton Baine. The woman 118 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 16: who said she hated Nashville, hated bachelorette parties, hated country music, 119 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 16: hated basically everything that made Nashville noteworthy. Yet she some 120 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 16: a few polls. I think showed her winning even but 121 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 16: did not come to pass. We were worried it would 122 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 16: be close. In the end, it came out to Republicans 123 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 16: winning by nine, but it was even a little bit 124 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 16: better than that. When the first early votes came in, 125 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 16: the New York Times estimator said, oh, Republicans will probably win. 126 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 5: By two, and just got stronger and stronger throughout the night. 127 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 16: So there was very good election day turnout by Republicans, 128 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 16: which shows the word got out. 129 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 5: Don't ignore this, don't sleep on it. 130 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 16: Get there. Now here comes the butt. This is a 131 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 16: district we won by twenty two points. Trump won it 132 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 16: by twenty two points. Last November the House, this margin 133 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 16: was twenty one points. It went to nine. So that 134 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 16: is a serious swing towards the Democrats. Now it's not katasclismic. 135 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 16: The Cook Political Report and these eggheads who estimate these things, 136 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 16: they say, it's organically about a Republican plus ten district. 137 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 16: So winning by nine perfectly respectable result, but it is less. 138 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 16: And so I'll throw to you here, tyler, what should 139 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 16: we make of this result? 140 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 5: Overall? 141 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 14: You think, well, there's a couple of things that we 142 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 14: want to go through. So first and foremost turning point 143 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 14: action is not in Tennessee, so we did not have 144 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 14: a handle. We're focused on the key swing states, not 145 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 14: a swing state, Charlie. So this all the time. We're 146 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 14: focused on the key target states, the swing states. However, 147 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 14: the future of Tennessee is that it's going to be 148 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 14: a swing states some point. And this is all I 149 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 14: don't say that. 150 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 5: They don't say that. 151 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 14: People like kind of ras me on X when I 152 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 14: say things like this, But Tennessee, Utah, Idaho, these are targets. 153 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 14: These are long term targets for the left. And this 154 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 14: is because we want them to be like Colorado. Yeah, 155 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 14: large counties with large cities can topple in a conservative state. 156 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 14: So in Tennessee you have the Nashville metro area has 157 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 14: grown abundantly, just similar to Phoenix in Arizona. And this 158 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 14: is what you know, people couldn't even imagine. Can you 159 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 14: even have fathom a blue Arizona or purple Arizona. And 160 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 14: we have seen that when Democrats, when we have a 161 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 14: huge swing in population numbers, lots of outsiders move in 162 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 14: that it starts to change the dynamics of the state. 163 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 14: And then when the Democrats spend tens of millions of 164 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 14: dollars in these In these races, whether it's for Congress, Senate, president, governor, 165 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 14: then you can lose. And we've seen a lot of 166 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 14: red states Kansas, Missouri to name a few, where we've 167 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 14: had democrats win governorships. We've had we've had statewide alexa. 168 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 14: So nothing is safe. You cannot look at any of 169 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 14: these districts and say, even in a deep red plus 170 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 14: twenty two R plus ten district in this case, a 171 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 14: then R plus ten district a plus twenty two Trump. 172 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 14: There's a difference because there's a lot of crossover votes 173 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 14: in red states where Democrats voted for Trump this last 174 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 14: election cycle, where Democrats stayed home because they just didn't 175 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 14: believe in Kamala Harris. That's the first step. So there's 176 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 14: a little bit of a misnumber here, which is that 177 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 14: this is a plus twenty two district. This is not 178 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 14: a plus twenty two district like you mentioned, it's a 179 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 14: district Trump one. This is Yeah, this is a district 180 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 14: that Trump won by twenty two. Some of that being 181 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 14: half of the increase being that Democrats stayed home, half 182 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 14: of the increase being that Democrats crossed over in a 183 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 14: red state. Now, with that being said, this district was 184 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 14: vacated by a Freedom Caucus member, Representative Green took a 185 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 14: private sector job. I have to say this because it 186 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 14: applies to everyone. We were just saying this. I was 187 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 14: just saying this about Marjorie Taylor Green. It is not 188 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 14: helpful when we have such slim numbers in the majority 189 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 14: to have people retiring mid midstream here, not even midstream. 190 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 5: I think he announced his retirement in July six months. 191 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 14: Yeah. 192 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 5: I mean, you're given a public trust when you run 193 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 5: for an office. 194 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 14: Run you run to serve for the full term. And 195 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 14: it's not difficult. It's not a difficult term. It's two 196 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 14: years in Congress. If you can't do that, you shouldn't 197 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 14: be running. And so again I'm not attacking either the 198 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 14: Greens in this case. I'm not saying that, you know, 199 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 14: things don't come up, or people don't have illnesses, or 200 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 14: they don't have you know, there's lots of different reasons 201 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 14: that people choose, and some of those are not public. However, 202 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 14: it's not helpful. What is fair to say is it's 203 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 14: not helpful for people to quit midstream right now, and 204 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 14: with with with so few Republicans controlling Congress. Now, with 205 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 14: that being said, that's why the special election became such 206 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 14: a focal point for the Democrats, because if they spend more, 207 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,479 Speaker 14: they're going to turn out more. And in special elections, 208 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 14: it's all about it's low turnout, right enthusiasm. It's all 209 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 14: about enthusis he has. That's about. It's all about how 210 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 14: many people can you actually get to show up to vote. 211 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 14: It's not persuading people. This isn't a persuadable district. This 212 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 14: is a plus ten minimum maximum plus twenty two that 213 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 14: Trump won by district. You should win this district if 214 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 14: everybody shows up. That's not the case of special elections. Yeah, 215 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 14: I'm looking at its most recently. 216 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 16: H had three hundred and twenty two thousand votes in 217 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 16: the last normal election and then in this one one 218 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 16: hundred and seventy nine thousand. 219 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 14: Yes, so you're talking to early half. 220 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,199 Speaker 16: Yeah, they got We got nine six ninety seven thousand 221 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 16: votes to win, whereas the Democrat loss got one hundred 222 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 16: and twenty two thousand votes to lose by a ton 223 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 16: last time. 224 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 14: Yeah, I think the projection was that it was going 225 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 14: to be in the low forties. Was turnout numbers when 226 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 14: all said and done. I don't even know if they 227 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 14: hit that in this case for the turnout, but forty 228 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 14: I mean imagine that. Again, forty percent turnout is really 229 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 14: low for a congression, for a federal race. So you 230 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 14: have a situation here where this is people are freaking 231 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 14: out because the money, amount of money and inners you 232 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 14: that I was being spent for the Democrats. 233 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 16: Which which is good. We got them to waste money 234 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 16: on a thing they lost by nine. But it still 235 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 16: shows the reason you have to be aware, and Charlie 236 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 16: would always talk about this is you have to be 237 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 16: worried because Democrats, on average, they seem to care more. 238 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 5: They get whipped up, they're more. 239 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 16: Republicans are passionate about their families, they're passionate about their faith, 240 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,719 Speaker 16: but Democrats are passionate about politics because for many politics 241 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 16: is their faith. 242 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 14: But this is really important to understand. The people who 243 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 14: who sit at home, Right, Obviously that sat at home 244 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 14: that Trump won by that extra you know, thirteen points 245 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 14: or whatever the end result was, they didn't vote in 246 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 14: this election either, right, So obviously that's not going to 247 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 14: help you in a differential. The crossover vote didn't show 248 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 14: up for this vote, right, that the people that the 249 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 14: Democrats that voted for Trump didn't show up to vote 250 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 14: for Matt van Apps. 251 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 16: So we're gonna we're definitely gonna get into at least 252 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 16: one dimension of the in the next segment, because we're 253 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 16: talking about the gen Z sentiment is very fickle around 254 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 16: in the past year of politics. 255 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 14: And there's two. There's gen Z, which is really important 256 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 14: to talk about, uh, and millennials. Yeah, it's a younger 257 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 14: millennials there are you know, I've been crossing over in 258 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 14: bigger numbers. And then you have the freedom cockis element. 259 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 14: Those those two elements played a role in not maximizing 260 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 14: what this this victory could have been. And that's a 261 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 14: that's a unique opportunity at this point forward for you know, 262 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 14: the White House who endorsed in this race, for conservatives 263 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,959 Speaker 14: in general, the Republican Party, the what I call the 264 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 14: some people call the establishment, but I call the machine 265 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 14: is everybody has to look at this and go, all right, 266 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,439 Speaker 14: how can we do better than this? I'm glad we won. 267 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 14: I'm glad we won by about the amount that we 268 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 14: control the district by by registration. How do we do 269 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 14: this better? 270 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 16: Forty five seconds, what's the message. We'll get into the 271 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 16: grassroots next segment. What's the message for the donor class, 272 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 16: the political class, the people who can make big, decisive 273 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 16: moves now to make sure we're in a stronger place 274 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 16: a year from now. 275 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 14: Well, look, like I said kind of at the top 276 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 14: of this, is that Tennessee's a future place that they 277 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 14: want to topple. So we have to fortify Tennessee strongly now. 278 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 14: And so you have to make the investment into the 279 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 14: boots on the ground to make the difference. And that's 280 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 14: what we talked about every day with Charlie's It's. 281 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 5: A real thing. 282 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 16: You want to have just that dominant get out the 283 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 16: vote apparatus in a state before it's in crisis, like 284 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 16: in Arizona. It was just it was suboptimal, and then 285 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 16: we had to build it after the crisis arrived, and 286 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 16: we may have lost races due to that. 287 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 5: That's right, and well we'll continue. 288 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 16: This into the next segment, but first we want to 289 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 16: talk to you about Alan Jackson Ministries.

So there's going through the House right now. 403 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 14: They're about complete.

So they need to need 413 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,719 Speaker 14: twenty six of the Republicans out of the forty Republicans 414 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 14: to vote yes. 415 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 16: Twenty six out of forty seems like it should be attainable. 416 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 16: But state level Republican they have this way of letting 417 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 16: you down far too often. And there's gat there's great 418 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 16: state level Republicans too, But Charlie would always would talk 419 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 16: about this when we were doing the Nebraska project, when we. 420 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 5: Were just over and over. You have to we have 421 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 5: an obligation. 422 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 16: You have to take a national view of things because 423 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 16: the entire country is on the line. That's right, and 424 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 16: you have to fight at the state level where you're 425 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 16: able to. But you also have to be ready to 426 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 16: fight at the national level. You have to work towards both. 427 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 10: Yep. 428 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 5: You can't be provincial. You can't be narrow minded and focus. 429 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 14: There's fewer Democrats in the state legislature in Indiana than 430 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 14: just about any red state. They only have ten out 431 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 14: of the fifty state senator So again, this is where 432 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 14: this comes in. We have to maximize our opportunity right 433 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 14: now to benefit the rest of the country, and Indiana 434 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 14: is one of the very few places where you can 435 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 14: make that argument that that is a through and through, 436 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 14: top to bottom red state. 437 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, just you have to. 438 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 16: It's Charlie talked about us in right wing revolution a 439 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 16: lot of successes. We have to win back purple states, 440 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 16: but also in red states. 441 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 5: Maximize the value of your red states. 442 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 16: Think use in Tennessee is still read Use Tennessee the 443 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 16: way the Democrats use California and Florida. Use Florida, Texas. 444 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 16: While you have these advantages they're large states. Then they 445 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 16: have the GDP of large European countries. Use that before 446 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,320 Speaker 16: we go.

Now 540 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 16: we have the Zoomer. Now we have the Zoomer half hour. 541 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 16: We have the Zoomer half hour. We have you, and 542 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 16: I believe we have Danny. He's on assignment somewhere far 543 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 16: out east. 544 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 5: Are you with us, Danny? 545 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 18: Yeah, I'm here. Can you hear me? 546 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 16: Ah, yes, yes, we can hear you. Zoomers are joining 547 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 16: from all across America. They're growing in. 548 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 5: Power, and that's the worrisome thing. 549 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 16: So we were just talking about this Tennessee special election. 550 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 16: I suspect a lot of gen Z didn't know there 551 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 16: was a special election. They can be a little tuned 552 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 16: out from things, and that's what matters. So Charlie was 553 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 16: incredibly proud of the shift among gen Z voters who 554 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,440 Speaker 16: he reached out to the most. A lot of them 555 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 16: moved towards President Trump this last election actually at an 556 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 16: unprecedented level in our lifetimes at least. But there's signs, 557 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 16: certainly from polls and just superficial indicators that they are 558 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 16: less enthusiastic now than they were last November. And actually 559 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 16: we always we have you on Daisy and we tout 560 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 16: you as producer Daisy, you pop in and out, but 561 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 16: don't we don't tout you enough. You you built from 562 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 16: the ground up the Charlie Instagram page. 563 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 5: A lot of Zoomers use Instagram. 564 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 19: While we have a whole team of people that have 565 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 19: done an amazing job. But I mean it really, in 566 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,920 Speaker 19: the last couple of years became the largest conservative Instagram account. 567 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 16: It's an incredible accomplishment and that requires having your finger 568 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 16: on gen Z's pulse. So the sense we had we 569 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 16: were discussing this yesterday is as as the lingo goes, 570 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 16: gen Z is blackpilly. 571 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 5: They feel down beat about things. 572 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 19: Charlie was there, I mean even to office every day. 573 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 19: No black pilling, no no bad news. Yeah every said 574 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 19: that to me the most of course, but yeah he 575 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 19: would say that. But the sense I get is that 576 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 19: gen Z is is down beat. And I guess you 577 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 19: listen to them as much as anyone here. 578 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 5: What is your sense? 579 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 19: I think that one of so we have a clip 580 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 19: about Trump talking about affordability, and I need to find 581 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 19: what number it is. But we heard him say this yesterday, 582 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 19: and this got us all talking because I think something 583 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 19: that is not talked about a lot is when we 584 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 19: were getting gen Z to go out to the polls 585 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 19: and vote for Trump, they were voting against the economy 586 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 19: that they had heard about from their parents, from their grandparents. 587 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 19: They had heard about Joe Biden's failing economy, huge selling point, 588 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 19: but they were not actually active in the economy at 589 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 19: that point. So then them coming out of high school, 590 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 19: college and then being a part of the economy for 591 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 19: Trump's economy, and it's still really stretching them and them 592 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 19: still not be I don't know if they expected to 593 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 19: just be able to get out of college and buy 594 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 19: a house immediately, which is obviously not how things work. 595 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 19: There's a lot that has to go in that has 596 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 19: to be to place. 597 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,040 Speaker 5: To fix things. Look, we have that clip here. This 598 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 5: is what prompted the discussion yesterday. 599 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 16: So this was Trump, I believe, during his cabinet meeting 600 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 16: yesterday and they spoke with the press, and we have 601 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 16: clip to eighty three. 602 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 11: The word affordability is a Democrat scam. They say it, 603 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 11: and then they go into the next subject and everyone thinks, oh, 604 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 11: they had lower prices. No, they had the worst in 605 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 11: the history of our country. 606 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 16: So it's getting cut up just as brief as possible 607 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,040 Speaker 16: by Democrats, by the left to say where he just 608 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 16: says affordability is a scam. And really what Trump is 609 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 16: saying is everything related to inflation is a crisis that 610 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 16: began in the Biden administration. We did COVID stimulus too 611 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 16: long into twenty one, twenty two. They denied it was happening. 612 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 16: They said there is no inflation. Consumers may not remember this. 613 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 16: You were probably still in my high school when this happened, 614 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 16: But they said they sent prices into the stratspuy. I 615 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,680 Speaker 16: think we had thirteen percent, So we had the highest 616 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 16: inflation we'd had in half a century. And Trump is saying, 617 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 16: we are aiming to fix this. But the clip can 618 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 16: be cut up in isolation. And you also know gen 619 00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 16: Z watches clips that are five seconds long on TikTok, 620 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 16: and that can shape a lot of their perspective on reality. 621 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 12: Yeah, there's that one. 622 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 19: There's another one from Estray where he says affordability as 623 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 19: a hoax. We don't need to play it's very clip. 624 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 19: It's very quick because that's the clip that's going around. 625 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 19: But Danny, I don't know what you're seeing on your 626 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 19: X feet, on your TikTok. It's that is something that 627 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 19: a gen Zer would hear and be like, Okay, wait, 628 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 19: why why is it a hoax? I've been this whole 629 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 19: time expecting that things are going to get more affordable, 630 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 19: and that's not actually what Trump is saying. So I 631 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 19: think we need to focus on what sometimes is not 632 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,240 Speaker 19: adding up or being received in the way that gen 633 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 19: Z can understand it. 634 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 20: What do you think, Danny Well, I think our biggest 635 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 20: thing for gen Z is immigration is what they care 636 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 20: about the most, and that ties into affordability obviously, but 637 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 20: I think that is the baseline for everything in terms 638 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 20: of what I've seen through all the algorithms, everything, talking 639 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 20: to friends, what I've heard. 640 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 16: So I pushed back, I guess you're probably referring to 641 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 16: conservative young people. 642 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 5: Then that the conservative gen Z base cares the. 643 00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 20: Most conservative gen Z conservative gen. 644 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 5: Z and their senses that there's just not enough that's immigration. 645 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 20: Or yeah, and they're very black piled on the issue 646 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 20: right now with THEE the H one B stuff that 647 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 20: happened and all the illegals that are here in the 648 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 20: country now, and I think that the algorithm and all 649 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 20: that is keeping them from really seeing the good things 650 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 20: that Trump's doing on immigration with deportations. 651 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 18: Stuff like that. 652 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 20: But I think it's also just the overall domerisms at 653 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 20: an all time high, and so that's what I think 654 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 20: the main problem is, and that ties into affordability and 655 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 20: all their other problems. 656 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 5: Well, I think it goes both ways. 657 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 19: Like if we look at the two groups that we 658 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 19: are having issues with, it would be gen Z boys, 659 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 19: who are what Danny saying, too black pilled to even 660 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 19: think that the immigration that's happening is positive and we 661 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 19: are making real progress there. And then it's gen Z 662 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 19: women who think that immigration is well broadly emotional issue. 663 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 19: They're seeing people being stripped away from their families and 664 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 19: they're thinking about the women and the children. And so 665 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 19: I think that it is a huge voting point that 666 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 19: we had and that we went on and we are 667 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 19: seeing massive amounts of progress there. But I don't know 668 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 19: that the messaging is working for either people groups that 669 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 19: we have a problem with. 670 00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 16: Yeah, I could definitely see that where it's on the 671 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 16: one hand, This is why Charlie would say no black pilling, 672 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 16: because I do think some of this is to a 673 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 16: degree and mental. 674 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:18,440 Speaker 5: It is a mental funk. 675 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 16: It is addictive to feel negative about things, and so 676 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 16: I always like even I can feel frustrated with stuff 677 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 16: that happens in politics, and I always remember we secured 678 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 16: the border overnight. We had the biggest flood of people 679 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 16: into this country ever and we just turned it off. 680 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 16: And that is a huge point of progress that we 681 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 16: should be bragging about all of the time, not the least, 682 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 16: because that is it doesn't have as much of that 683 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 16: emotional baggage that they just manipulate where anytime people who 684 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 16: are in this country illegally should be sent back. Yet 685 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 16: they make you feel shame that this happens, and we 686 00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 16: should not feel shamed that people who broke the law 687 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 16: are punished, right, But I think it's also I. 688 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 20: Think another problem Blake is the administration has been focused 689 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 20: a lot on foreign problems instead of domestic problems. We 690 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 20: see that with endignores and stuff, which is great, but 691 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 20: it's come to a point where a lot of people 692 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,799 Speaker 20: are just looking for answers at home and they kind 693 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,400 Speaker 20: of don't really care about foreign policy as much. They 694 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 20: are more so just focused on what affects them here domestically. 695 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 19: Well, I think this all tips. I think we should 696 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 19: play cut two fifty. It's Charlie from July twenty twenty five, 697 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 19: and it's a really I think let's play it and 698 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:28,719 Speaker 19: then react to it. 699 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 21: More young people under the age of thirty five to 700 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 21: have equity in the system. Not the decrat version of 701 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 21: equity where they want to have redistribution, but actually are 702 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,319 Speaker 21: they paying a mortgage, do they own stuff? Or are 703 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 21: they permanent renters? A permanent renting class in this country 704 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,280 Speaker 21: is the prrequisite is the leading ingredient for radical politics 705 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,640 Speaker 21: that nobody wants to see. We need to reinvigorate the 706 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,239 Speaker 21: ownership economy and then all of a sudden, when you 707 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,360 Speaker 21: own stuff, you're less likely to burn down a Wendy's 708 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,439 Speaker 21: and vote for candidates like Zoe run. 709 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,880 Speaker 19: So I think that a big, big issue in the 710 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 19: numerism stuff that Danny is talking about, which is it's 711 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 19: so so horrible to think about. But gen Z had 712 00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 19: all these problems beforehand, and Charlie was the person that 713 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 19: was out there not only talking about it, but talking 714 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 19: to them and inspiring them. To be better and then 715 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 19: we all really publicly lost our personally, our friend and boss. 716 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,360 Speaker 19: But gen Z, they're one of their largest role models 717 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,240 Speaker 19: that they've any generation has ever had, because no generation 718 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 19: before has had that much access to someone on social 719 00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 19: media to be able to see all of their thoughts 720 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 19: in real time. I mean he was live on the 721 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 19: air every day for hours. They could see exactly what 722 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 19: he was thinking. And now they've lost that, so there's 723 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 19: a big looming question of where. 724 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 5: Do they go. And he was so positive. I think 725 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 5: that's one of the biggest wounds we feel. Charlie. 726 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 16: He would come out and he would say, there are 727 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,320 Speaker 16: huge challenges facing America, unprecedented challenges in a lot of ways. 728 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 16: Yet he would always frame it to you can be better, 729 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,640 Speaker 16: you can make yourself stronger, you can succeed. And he 730 00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 16: lived that out himself. Charlie built this organization in his twenties. 731 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,520 Speaker 16: He had a great family, He actually achieved. He lived 732 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 16: out his faith to such a strong degree, and people 733 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,840 Speaker 16: want to follow strength, they want to follow success. He 734 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 16: would not tell them to wallow in things. He would say, 735 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 16: every problem in your life, however daunting it seems, is fixable. 736 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 5: And I worry. 737 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 16: You know, without Charlie, we've had too much of a 738 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 16: balance towards this negativity, towards victim making yourself into a victim, 739 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,359 Speaker 16: and he hated the victim ideology. 740 00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:42,160 Speaker 19: Yeah, Danny, do you see that on your feeds as well? 741 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 19: A lot of what I'm seeing And some of the 742 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,280 Speaker 19: differences is Charlie would call young men especially to be better, 743 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 19: and there is a cheap cash grap of sorts of 744 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,759 Speaker 19: people now young men are looking for a real model 745 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 19: and it's like, hey, this is how you can complain 746 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,320 Speaker 19: and make your life worse if you just want to 747 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 19: feel better in the moment. Are you seeing that or 748 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 19: your friends talking about that? 749 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:04,040 Speaker 5: What do they think? Forty seconds? 750 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 18: Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of just like you know what. 751 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 18: We even saw viral clips last week of people. 752 00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 20: Saying, you don't need to get married anymore, it's not 753 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 20: worth it, You're never going to be able to buy 754 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,280 Speaker 20: a home, stuff like that. And young men are actually 755 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 20: like kind of listening to this, following along, and that's 756 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:23,360 Speaker 20: a problem. And also because negativity is just so easy 757 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,320 Speaker 20: to listen to, especially when you already are feeling negative, 758 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 20: it just sucks them in. So I really feel like, 759 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 20: that's our biggest problem right now with gen Z's is 760 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:32,360 Speaker 20: just drawing. 761 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 16: Yeah, if you're gen Z yourself or if you have 762 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,919 Speaker 16: a gen Z kid, send us emails free much, Charlie Kirk. 763 00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,759 Speaker 16: We'd love to see them and get that input. One 764 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 16: of the reasons gen Z's down a lot of them 765 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 16: have debt. If you could make one holiday wish, would 766 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 16: you wish to be free from your credit card and 767 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 16: other debt. Now is the time to make the move. 768 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,240 Speaker 16: This time of your credit card and loan companies close 769 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 16: out their books, they're clearing past due accounts and selling 770 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,439 Speaker 16: off debt. That means if you have credit our debt 771 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 16: and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to negotiating, 772 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 16: and you actually have some leverage. Done with debt knows 773 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,560 Speaker 16: how to use that leverage. They understand the year end pressure, 774 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 16: and they monitor lender trends so that they can jump 775 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 16: in and negotiate hard on your behalf. Now is the 776 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 16: time to get out from under crushing debt without bankruptcy 777 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 16: or new loans.

We're here with. 786 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 16: Daisy and de Annie, the gen Z the Zoomers who 787 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,239 Speaker 16: are telling us why gen Z is blackpilled. But it's 788 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,919 Speaker 16: easy for us to say, don't blackpill, as Charlie would say, 789 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 16: but we do have to engage with reasons to not blackpill. 790 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 5: You do have to. We have to use our faculties. 791 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 16: We can't just be blind here, and we want to 792 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 16: give Charlie would also give advice to the administration, and 793 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 16: I think we can get into that advice. So we'll 794 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 16: do that definitely in the next segment. But I just 795 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 16: want to flag one of the most obvious reasons is, 796 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,279 Speaker 16: as Danny said, they care about immigration. We have we're 797 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 16: making gradual progress on deportations. We have the big progress 798 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 16: of shutting down new arrivals at the border. And what's 799 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 16: great about that is it actually ties into other issues 800 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 16: that we've discussed the affordability question, the housing question. What 801 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 16: drives the cost of homes? You can probably tell me demand, yes, 802 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:54,920 Speaker 16: and so what lowers demand? Not pumping in millions of 803 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,880 Speaker 16: people a year. That puts pressure on rents and that 804 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:02,120 Speaker 16: quits pressure on everything else, and all housing prices to rise. 805 00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 5: That's the nature of the market. 806 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 16: And I think there's a lot of room for communication 807 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,800 Speaker 16: where you say, in the long run, this new border 808 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:10,120 Speaker 16: will improve things. 809 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,759 Speaker 5: We'll expand on this after a radio rejoins just to. 810 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:29,240 Speaker 22: Say welcome back to radio. 811 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,239 Speaker 16: We're talking about reasons to not blackpill and how the 812 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 16: Trump administration could communicate what its long term plan is here, 813 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 16: and we were saying, I think one of the best 814 00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,319 Speaker 16: things is to actually tie you kind of have this 815 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 16: grand unified thing. We've talked about how cracking down on 816 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 16: crime is actually an affordability issue because when you make 817 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,840 Speaker 16: more cities and more neighborhoods livable housing prices decline. Also, 818 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 16: when you fix the border, in the long run, house 819 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 16: prices will decline. And we can be frank there are 820 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 16: going to be short term shocks. A lot of businesses 821 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,200 Speaker 16: Charli would complained about this all the time. There are 822 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 16: businesses that got addicted to low wage illegal labor, and 823 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 16: there's going to be something of a shock as you 824 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 16: get away from that. And housing construction is one of 825 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 16: those things. There's a lot of illegal labor there. There's 826 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,360 Speaker 16: a shock. It's like if you're an alcoholic, which you 827 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 16: shouldn't because Charlie would tell you not to be. If 828 00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,440 Speaker 16: you quit it all at once, it's actually very painful, 829 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 16: it's very difficult. That's why people have so much trouble 830 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,280 Speaker 16: doing it. And illegal immigration is like America's great addiction. 831 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,400 Speaker 16: And so I think there's a lot of room for 832 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,600 Speaker 16: the administration to say we are breaking America's bad habits, 833 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,200 Speaker 16: and there are going to be signs of improvement that 834 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 16: can they can point towards. 835 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:41,319 Speaker 19: And not just we are making progress on immigration, but 836 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 19: we are making progress on immigration. And this is how 837 00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,279 Speaker 19: it will personally affect you. 838 00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 16: Yes, when it comes to perly affect you. One thing 839 00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 16: I'm wondering how we can best communicate this. This is 840 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,879 Speaker 16: a thing we saw this morning that in the past year, 841 00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:58,360 Speaker 16: fifty one percent of homes have actually decreased in value. 842 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,759 Speaker 16: And that's obviously not if you're a homeowner looking to sell. 843 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:05,359 Speaker 16: But no Charlie would say, great, our top priority does 844 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 16: need to be making sure young people have those affordable homes. Yeah, 845 00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 16: and I think at the least you can see the 846 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 16: long run pitch has to be we do need more 847 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 16: affordable homes for people, and the great way to square 848 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,839 Speaker 16: that circle is you can build new homes that are 849 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 16: affordable and then hopefully you can try to have both 850 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 16: sides of the coin. 851 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 19: Yeah, it's hard in cities like Phoenix. It's the valley 852 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 19: itself is already so congested that they are doing a 853 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 19: lot of new builds, but they're all on the outskirts. 854 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:41,640 Speaker 19: So I wonder if it's different in other cities that 855 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 19: Phoenix got really populated all at once. But I think 856 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 19: I'm wondering, Danny, what you think young men specifically on 857 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,319 Speaker 19: this affordability issue would like to hear from the administration 858 00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:57,480 Speaker 19: to get them out of that black pilling. 859 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,719 Speaker 20: I mean, the problem is they want less regulation for starters. 860 00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 20: And the real problem is the only mainstream politician we've 861 00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 20: seen try and do this is Mom Donnie in New 862 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,360 Speaker 20: York City, and that's why we saw so much of 863 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,680 Speaker 20: gen Z kind of flock towards him in that election. 864 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,040 Speaker 5: Mom less regulation. 865 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 20: No, but I'm saying in terms of actually trying to 866 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 20: cause or try and fix housing, even if his ideas 867 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 20: don't work, that's what. So they're looking for anything, So 868 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,040 Speaker 20: they want less regulation, but if no one's actually going 869 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,200 Speaker 20: to do that, they will flock towards someone that's at 870 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,839 Speaker 20: least trying to. And that's kind of what I've seen, 871 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,920 Speaker 20: is that they're just looking for answers, and so I 872 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 20: really think the administration HUD needs to kind of focus 873 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,879 Speaker 20: on that and really keep going. 874 00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 5: It's interesting I was reading. 875 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:50,319 Speaker 16: I was reading an essay about President Franklin Roosevelt, who 876 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,800 Speaker 16: is probably someone deeply lost in the midst of time 877 00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,360 Speaker 16: for you guys, but he was the president during the 878 00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 16: Great Depression, and he's remembered as the guy who beat 879 00:44:58,320 --> 00:44:58,800 Speaker 16: the Depression. 880 00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,120 Speaker 5: Yet really, if you look at the he kind of 881 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:02,800 Speaker 5: did not. He actually went. 882 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,640 Speaker 16: On a very long time. There was a renewal of 883 00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:08,719 Speaker 16: the depression. Yet the perception of him throughout was very positive. 884 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 16: And the argument this essay made was he was doing 885 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 16: a lot of things he highlighted I'm throwing the kitchen 886 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,160 Speaker 16: sink at this problem. Whereas his predecessor, the Republican Herbert 887 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,560 Speaker 16: Hoover had sort of frozen up and just he was 888 00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:24,279 Speaker 16: afraid to do anything. He seemed inert, he seemed not responsive, 889 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,800 Speaker 16: and so fdr by being active, by being really aggressive, 890 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 16: he sent this message, I care a lot, I am 891 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,839 Speaker 16: working to fix this problem. And you get the sense 892 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 16: could the administration fix a lot of its problems by 893 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,520 Speaker 16: just really aggressively showing, Hey, here's all these things we 894 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,839 Speaker 16: are doing so rather than just say we're cutting regulations, 895 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:47,240 Speaker 16: here's this specific thing we've done, this specific thing we've done. 896 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:48,560 Speaker 5: Here's this nice. 897 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 16: Video of this house going up in the Phoenix area 898 00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,239 Speaker 16: that was enabled by our measure. Do you think that 899 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,839 Speaker 16: communication strategy would go through? Do we need white house 900 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 16: home building tiktoks? 901 00:45:58,520 --> 00:45:58,719 Speaker 15: Yeah? 902 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,000 Speaker 18: I actually think we did. 903 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,399 Speaker 19: I think that that would probably go over better than 904 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 19: some of the some of the ice tiktoks that they're 905 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,759 Speaker 19: putting out, which we think are great, but a lot 906 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,400 Speaker 19: of the public is a little taken aback. 907 00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 16: By housing affordability tiktoks, lowering prices, gas price, gas price tiktoks. 908 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,319 Speaker 16: And maybe Trump was talking, He's saying gas prices are lower, 909 00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,480 Speaker 16: he was talking about Thanksgiving being more affordable, But you 910 00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 16: really need to give a visual angle to this well. 911 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,879 Speaker 19: And I think just having some which Charlie is really 912 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 19: good at, having some empathy for gen Z, where like 913 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,239 Speaker 19: kind of talked about at the beginning, they sure we 914 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,240 Speaker 19: can talk about how eggs are cheaper, gas is cheaper. 915 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 19: Most of gen Z is now purchasing those things on 916 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 19: their own, largely for the first time, so they have 917 00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,279 Speaker 19: sure they can hear about that it's cheaper. It still 918 00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,280 Speaker 19: doesn't feel cheap to them, So I think the messaging 919 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:50,160 Speaker 19: is really important. 920 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 5: All Right, we'll be back. 921 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:54,680 Speaker 16: We'll be having Frank Turuk in hour two, but we 922 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,799 Speaker 16: also have a very big announcement that we are making 923 00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:58,560 Speaker 16: at the top of the hour on something we've been 924 00:46:58,560 --> 00:46:59,399 Speaker 16: asked about a lot. 925 00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:15,120 Speaker 5: You will not want to miss it. 926 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 17: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break.

US 941 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:07,239 Speaker 10: Central Command announced today a new task force for the 942 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:12,000 Speaker 10: military for the first one way attack drone squadron based 943 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,520 Speaker 10: in the Middle East. That's first of its kind here 944 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,359 Speaker 10: for the United States. And while we can't talk about 945 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:21,360 Speaker 10: the details of the briefing with Pete Hegseth, I was 946 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,920 Speaker 10: there with Benny Harmony and Jack Posobic and it was 947 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,839 Speaker 10: an expert on naval operations. It was really intimate and 948 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,799 Speaker 10: he was very friendly. But I was really impressed with 949 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,960 Speaker 10: the new media press corps here and their depth and 950 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 10: scope and breadth of knowledge on the issues that are 951 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,720 Speaker 10: affecting us today. Reinstatement of our troops on the vas, 952 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 10: you know, other issues and stuff we've been talking about 953 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,920 Speaker 10: all day here with people coming around from the Pentagon, 954 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 10: you know, and issues like you know, rebuilding the Navy, 955 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,400 Speaker 10: shipbuilding issues here. I have the under Secretary of the 956 00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,879 Speaker 10: Navy coming by later, and we've got other people here, 957 00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:05,239 Speaker 10: Sean Parnell, the chief Pentagon you know, spokesman, who's going 958 00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,279 Speaker 10: to talk about what led to the changes and the 959 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,560 Speaker 10: policy guidelines where the media was kind of running rampant 960 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,880 Speaker 10: here on escorted throughout the building. They have new policy 961 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,920 Speaker 10: guidelines like any other federal building, Terrance, and you know, 962 00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 10: just like the White House has to avoid leaks and 963 00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:25,440 Speaker 10: other to use only authorized information for their reporting. 964 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,719 Speaker 17: Let's talk about some of those policy guidelines. I'm glad 965 00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:30,600 Speaker 17: the Pentagon is going to come out and discuss them 966 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 17: a little bit. As a reporter, as someone who's working 967 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,160 Speaker 17: there in the Pentagon covering the stories, do you still 968 00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,439 Speaker 17: feel a freedom to be able to do your job 969 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,680 Speaker 17: or are these guidelines restrictive? 970 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,600 Speaker 10: I don't think they're restricted. You know, you're not as 971 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:49,160 Speaker 10: long as you're not releasing unauthorized information out of here. 972 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:53,520 Speaker 10: The conversations here have been very frank, including the presser 973 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:57,719 Speaker 10: with Kingsley Wilson yesterday. We're free to ask any questions 974 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:01,960 Speaker 10: we want, you know, they we want accountability, right and 975 00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,200 Speaker 10: we're going to demand accountability from our government. And that's 976 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 10: what Real America's Voice News is here for. And the 977 00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:13,399 Speaker 10: environment and the tenure here, the tenor here is very 978 00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:17,759 Speaker 10: friendly and open. It's not like the legacy media. You know. 979 00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:19,880 Speaker 10: Maybe their attorneys hrumped the gun a little bit and 980 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 10: they got all them in a frenzy and they all left. 981 00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 10: They self deported themselves from the Pentagon. Maybe they made 982 00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,960 Speaker 10: a mistake. And I hear some rumblings that some of 983 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 10: the MSM want to come back. 984 00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,880 Speaker 17: Now will they be allowed to come back? What rumblings 985 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:37,240 Speaker 17: are you hearing about that? If they in fact signed 986 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,560 Speaker 17: the appropriate documents, if they agree, will they be allowed 987 00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:40,840 Speaker 17: back in? 988 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,600 Speaker 10: I don't know the answer to that. But this new 989 00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:49,080 Speaker 10: media corp here has a lot of really qualified inquisitive 990 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 10: people here who want answers to things like why we 991 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 10: you know, is there going to be accountability for senior 992 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:59,200 Speaker 10: military leaders in the early withdrawal from Afghanistan, say, and 993 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,760 Speaker 10: getting our building back to say a six hundred ship navy, 994 00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,879 Speaker 10: so we can you know, be you know, on top 995 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:11,239 Speaker 10: of our military readiness and preparedness here. But also you know, 996 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,759 Speaker 10: a lot of this legacy media that we hear though 997 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,480 Speaker 10: they were here for a number of years, they're beat reporters. 998 00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:18,879 Speaker 10: They put a lot of time and effort, They built 999 00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,960 Speaker 10: a lot of relationships here. It's going to take a 1000 00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:24,560 Speaker 10: long time for this new media group to really get 1001 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:27,640 Speaker 10: involved here and get the information they need, and maybe 1002 00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:30,640 Speaker 10: some of the old guard will come back and join them, 1003 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,759 Speaker 10: but that'll be up to the Department of War. 1004 00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,280 Speaker 17: David's deer reporting for us this morning at the Pentagon.

That's going to do it 1013 00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,439 Speaker 17: for your headlines. As always, we appreciate having you along 1014 00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:25,320 Speaker 17: for the ride. I'm Terrence Bates. 1015 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,120 Speaker 5: Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. 1016 00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,080 Speaker 16: We're gonna be talking to Frank Turk about the Sabbath 1017 00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,800 Speaker 16: and Charlie's upcoming book in just a moment, but first 1018 00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,520 Speaker 16: we wanted to use this segment at the top of 1019 00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:41,120 Speaker 16: this hour to say something important, something very important. For 1020 00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:43,080 Speaker 16: the past two and a half months, there is a 1021 00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,239 Speaker 16: topic that has flooded our Freedom Inbox. It has been 1022 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,800 Speaker 16: NonStop on social media, but which we have almost totally 1023 00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 16: avoided on this show. You probably already know what I'm 1024 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:57,120 Speaker 16: talking about, which shows just how ubiquitous it has been. 1025 00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:02,600 Speaker 16: Ever since Charlie's murder, Candace Owens has leveled a flood 1026 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:07,000 Speaker 16: of allegations against people at Turning Point USA, people at 1027 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,320 Speaker 16: Turning Point Action, and people who work for this show. 1028 00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 16: She has made them against some of Charlie's closest friends 1029 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 16: and against some of his most dedicated employees. She has 1030 00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,800 Speaker 16: suggested that Michael McCoy, Charlie's chief of staff, knew Charlie 1031 00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:23,720 Speaker 16: would be murdered, was happy that he died, and stayed 1032 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,920 Speaker 16: silent because he was told he would be the next Charlie. 1033 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 16: She has suggested Michael is not his real name, it 1034 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:33,440 Speaker 16: is I have seen his birth certificate myself. She has 1035 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,879 Speaker 16: called it suspicious that Mikey's wife, who works at Turning Point, 1036 00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 16: helped plan the campus tour event where Charlie was murdered, 1037 00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:42,560 Speaker 16: which she didn't by the way, she doesn't work on 1038 00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 16: campus events. Candace has suggested the Utah Valley University event 1039 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:51,640 Speaker 16: was unusual and its details suggested a quote inside job. 1040 00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,399 Speaker 16: She has claimed that foreign aircraft have followed Erica Kirk 1041 00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,640 Speaker 16: around the country and that Turning Point has lied about 1042 00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:03,080 Speaker 16: this happening. Accused us of lying about Charlie wanting Erica 1043 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,160 Speaker 16: to take over for him if he died. She has 1044 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:11,120 Speaker 16: suggested Charlie's security team intentionally denied him first aid after 1045 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,959 Speaker 16: the shooting to ensure that he died. She has raised 1046 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,840 Speaker 16: suspicions about the head of our technical team because he 1047 00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:20,520 Speaker 16: took an SD card out of a camera. She has 1048 00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:24,000 Speaker 16: spread absurd claims that Tyler Boyer, who we just had 1049 00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:28,480 Speaker 16: on the show, sexually abuses male interns. She has suggested 1050 00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:32,759 Speaker 16: that TPUSA Faith affiliated pastors like theologian Frank Turk, who 1051 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:35,240 Speaker 16: will have on in a moment, and pastor Rob McCoy 1052 00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:39,840 Speaker 16: are part of a military quote infiltration of Turning Point, 1053 00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,840 Speaker 16: either because they are veterans or because they have family 1054 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,839 Speaker 16: members who are, even if not everyone has been named specifically, 1055 00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:51,360 Speaker 16: though Candace has effectively tarred everyone here with complicity in 1056 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:56,160 Speaker 16: Charlie's death by repeatedly saying he was quote betrayed by 1057 00:54:56,320 --> 00:55:00,440 Speaker 16: quote everyone. She has said Charlie's murder quote had to 1058 00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:04,240 Speaker 16: be approved by Charlie's friends, and then suggested those friends 1059 00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:08,080 Speaker 16: might have her murdered too for quote knowing the truth. 1060 00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:12,359 Speaker 16: She has made claims of financial impropriety and fraud at 1061 00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,080 Speaker 16: turning point, adding up into the millions of dollars, which 1062 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:19,080 Speaker 16: again is not true. Charlie made sure the organization was 1063 00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:22,760 Speaker 16: audited by a third party every year. He personally reviewed 1064 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:26,600 Speaker 16: and he signed off on every expense report and literally 1065 00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:30,239 Speaker 16: every single bill paid by the organization, down to a 1066 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:34,040 Speaker 16: single United States dollar. We have never missed a nine 1067 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:38,840 Speaker 16: to ninety deadline. Candice has made other stranger allegations involving 1068 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,960 Speaker 16: French paratroopers in maroon shirts, Egyptian Air Force planes flying 1069 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 16: out of Provo, Utah, and potential underground assassins traveling through 1070 00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:50,680 Speaker 16: unseen tunnels at this At one point in early November, 1071 00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:55,440 Speaker 16: she started wildly throwing suspicion on members of Utah Valley's 1072 00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:57,800 Speaker 16: soccer team for wearing hoodies. 1073 00:55:58,120 --> 00:55:58,799 Speaker 5: I could go on. 1074 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,680 Speaker 16: There is always something new coming up, and none of 1075 00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:05,839 Speaker 16: it ever pans out. Because from the start there has 1076 00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:10,040 Speaker 16: been nothing there. The attacks and allegations from Candace are 1077 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,920 Speaker 16: either lies or they are innuendos thrown around with a 1078 00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:17,879 Speaker 16: total reckless disregard for the truth so that Candace can 1079 00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,360 Speaker 16: manipulate and string along an audience of people who don't 1080 00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,560 Speaker 16: realize they are being played, instead of being able to 1081 00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,560 Speaker 16: grieve properly after one of the most heinous murders in 1082 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,960 Speaker 16: American history, a murder many of us had to witness. 1083 00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:35,000 Speaker 16: My friends have had to endure harassment from people who 1084 00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,680 Speaker 16: have gotten whipped up by what Candas is saying. In fact, 1085 00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:42,160 Speaker 16: I would say we have suffered more harassment from these 1086 00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:46,520 Speaker 16: people than we have from Antifa supporters who overtly celebrate 1087 00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,840 Speaker 16: Charlie's murder. And just like a lot of those Antifa members, 1088 00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:53,680 Speaker 16: many of these people take this delight and how gross 1089 00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,719 Speaker 16: and unpleasant they can be. What our friends have had 1090 00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,960 Speaker 16: to endure is not funny and it's not insigniate. 1091 00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:04,400 Speaker 5: It is evil. I have seen it. For months. 1092 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:08,520 Speaker 16: We have received hundreds thousands I suspect emails and calls 1093 00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:12,560 Speaker 16: asking us to respond. People have wanted us to invite 1094 00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,080 Speaker 16: Candace on the show, but for a long time, our 1095 00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:17,000 Speaker 16: approach was to say nothing. 1096 00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:18,880 Speaker 5: We did that for several reasons. 1097 00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:24,880 Speaker 16: First, first, we thought that her prevarications were so absurd 1098 00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:28,640 Speaker 16: that nobody would believe them. We shouldn't have to answer 1099 00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:32,960 Speaker 16: questions about secret tunnels or Egyptian Air Force planes. That 1100 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,880 Speaker 16: sort of thing is just it's beneath contempt to respond to. 1101 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,280 Speaker 16: The Second reason we've said so little, though, is because 1102 00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,440 Speaker 16: there's a good rule of thumb, which Charlie followed. 1103 00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:42,960 Speaker 5: Do not feed the trolls. 1104 00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:47,120 Speaker 16: Focus on the mission reviving America, uplifting young people, making 1105 00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,400 Speaker 16: heaven crowded. Don't give air to people who want to 1106 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:54,920 Speaker 16: tear you down and sow discord. Lastly, we didn't respond 1107 00:57:55,240 --> 00:58:00,400 Speaker 16: because Charlie always viewed Candace as a friend, and we 1108 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:03,440 Speaker 16: were holding out hope that she would return that friendship 1109 00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:08,160 Speaker 16: and stop what she was doing. But a week from now, 1110 00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:12,280 Speaker 16: it's going to be three months since Charlie's murder, Candace 1111 00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:15,920 Speaker 16: has not changed her behavior. She has continued to spread 1112 00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:20,360 Speaker 16: falsehoods about Charlie's friends, and she continues to concoct new 1113 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:24,280 Speaker 16: ones about new people. She's using these falsehoods to enrich 1114 00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:29,000 Speaker 16: herself while dividing the conservative movement at an absolutely critical 1115 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:33,000 Speaker 16: time for this country, and far too often we here 1116 00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:36,200 Speaker 16: have heard from ordinary people, people who loved Charlie and 1117 00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:39,000 Speaker 16: who Charlie loves so much. In return, these people have 1118 00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,920 Speaker 16: expressed the worry that we are staying silent out of 1119 00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,960 Speaker 16: cowardice or as some sort of tacit admission that some 1120 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:46,600 Speaker 16: of the attacks are true. 1121 00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 5: Neither is the case. 1122 00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,640 Speaker 16: Our silence has never been and it will never be 1123 00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:58,160 Speaker 16: equal to complacency or approval. Still, we decided Charlie would 1124 00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:01,080 Speaker 16: not allow this to go on. Charlie was not a coward. 1125 00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:05,400 Speaker 16: Charlie was a fighter. Charlie would not allow someone to 1126 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,680 Speaker 16: spread lies about the people closest to him with impunity, 1127 00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,720 Speaker 16: and he would feel ashamed if other people were stepping 1128 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,920 Speaker 16: up to defend his friends while he never did so himself. 1129 00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:20,600 Speaker 16: Candace has mentioned several times that the ball is in 1130 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:24,280 Speaker 16: our court. So here's what is going to happen. In 1131 00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:26,960 Speaker 16: the near future. There will be a live stream here 1132 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,480 Speaker 16: in Phoenix where we address in a clear and comprehensive 1133 00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:34,720 Speaker 16: way the claims and accusations, the false accusations that have 1134 00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:38,000 Speaker 16: been made against Charlie's family, friends and the people here. 1135 00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:41,440 Speaker 16: At turning Point, we plan to walk through everything carefully 1136 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:45,560 Speaker 16: and thoroughly. If Candas is available, we would sincerely welcome 1137 00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:49,320 Speaker 16: her participation in that live stream at our studio. 1138 00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:49,960 Speaker 5: Here in Phoenix. 1139 00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,800 Speaker 16: At this point, we believe the ball is back in 1140 00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:57,760 Speaker 16: her court. Our motivation for doing this is not out 1141 00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,840 Speaker 16: of any obligation to Candace, is about honoring Charlie. We 1142 01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:05,120 Speaker 16: feel a deep responsibility to protect his legacy, his work, 1143 01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:09,280 Speaker 16: and the truth. I feel that I oh Charlie everything 1144 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:14,480 Speaker 16: in my life. I feel it immensely, and that is 1145 01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,440 Speaker 16: why we feel compelled to speak clearly and openly. 1146 01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:17,760 Speaker 10: Now. 1147 01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:24,400 Speaker 16: We'll have more on this in the near future. All right, 1148 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:26,520 Speaker 16: Frank Turret, are you there. 1149 01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:31,880 Speaker 23: Well, said Blake. Yes, I'm here, and I just want 1150 01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:37,320 Speaker 23: to say that the night before Charlie was murdered. And 1151 01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:39,880 Speaker 23: I'm not just saying this, but I went into his office. 1152 01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:41,800 Speaker 23: This was after we had a meeting. You were in 1153 01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,960 Speaker 23: the meeting, Blake, me, you, Charlie and some other folks, 1154 01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:48,320 Speaker 23: and he was going to dinner and he said, Hey, 1155 01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:52,600 Speaker 23: you're going to dinner with Blake and Danny. He said, 1156 01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:56,640 Speaker 23: Blake is my secret weapon. He's the smartest man I know, 1157 01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:03,800 Speaker 23: and he loved you. And for anybody to suggest, whether 1158 01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:09,440 Speaker 23: it's Candice Owens or any other person within TPUSA, was 1159 01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:14,080 Speaker 23: somehow complicit in his murder is to say that Charlie 1160 01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,920 Speaker 23: Kirk was such a bad judge of character that he 1161 01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:19,919 Speaker 23: put a bunch of traders around him. 1162 01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,240 Speaker 14: If there's anything I knew. 1163 01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:26,960 Speaker 23: About Charlie Kirk is he knew how to spot talent 1164 01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:31,800 Speaker 23: and integrity and people that wanted to make a difference 1165 01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:33,400 Speaker 23: for the Lord and the country. 1166 01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:36,040 Speaker 14: Charlie was brilliant at that. 1167 01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:41,720 Speaker 23: It takes a lot more faith to believe that Charlie 1168 01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:45,160 Speaker 23: didn't know who his friends were and picked all the 1169 01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:49,400 Speaker 23: wrong people to surround him to build an organization that 1170 01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:55,080 Speaker 23: came from nothing to the most powerful conservative organization in 1171 01:01:55,120 --> 01:02:00,480 Speaker 23: the country. I mean, in thirteen years helt it and 1172 01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:02,960 Speaker 23: it was it was big before thirteen years. You know, 1173 01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:06,960 Speaker 23: he really got it moving in about seven or eight 1174 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:12,800 Speaker 23: years later. It strains credulity to suggest that people within 1175 01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:17,960 Speaker 23: that organization, people that he hand picked himself, somehow murdered him. 1176 01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:20,800 Speaker 23: If you're going to suggest that, you better have a 1177 01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:24,400 Speaker 23: lot of evidence, and I have seen none of it. 1178 01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:29,480 Speaker 23: It's it's unconscionable that anyone would say this without evidence. 1179 01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:31,440 Speaker 14: You can slander. 1180 01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,439 Speaker 23: You can say, what if you can have all sorts 1181 01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:39,240 Speaker 23: of innuendos and insinuations, that's not evidence. You can have dreams, 1182 01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,720 Speaker 23: you can have hunches, you can have vibes, that is 1183 01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:44,040 Speaker 23: not evidence. 1184 01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:48,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, no, Core, thank you so much evidence. 1185 01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:49,280 Speaker 14: I'm sorry, Blake. 1186 01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:51,720 Speaker 16: We have to leave radio here for a second, but 1187 01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:53,240 Speaker 16: we're going to go through the break and we want 1188 01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:54,360 Speaker 16: to continue our conversation. 1189 01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:55,200 Speaker 12: We'll be right back. 1190 01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:10,840 Speaker 16: All right, We're back, Frank, and thank you, Thank you 1191 01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:14,680 Speaker 16: so much for that. It means a great Dealie. Charlie 1192 01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:18,960 Speaker 16: meant so much to all of us, and that's made 1193 01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:22,880 Speaker 16: so much of what we hear is so painful, so raw. 1194 01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:26,720 Speaker 16: It remains raw and painful. Andrews talked about on this show. 1195 01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,080 Speaker 16: You know, he thinks about Charlie every day when he 1196 01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,400 Speaker 16: gets up, and he thinks about him every night when 1197 01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,560 Speaker 16: he goes to bed, and he just he looms large 1198 01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:36,400 Speaker 16: in all of our heads and all of our hearts, 1199 01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:38,520 Speaker 16: and I suspect he will for. 1200 01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:39,480 Speaker 5: The rest of our lives. 1201 01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:42,800 Speaker 16: And I wanted to take a chance to talk about this, 1202 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,600 Speaker 16: so you know, Charlie did get the chance to finish 1203 01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:46,960 Speaker 16: Stop in the Name of God. 1204 01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:50,320 Speaker 5: Just before the tragedy. We're extremely happy. 1205 01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:50,560 Speaker 14: That he did that. 1206 01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:54,360 Speaker 16: And it's out next I believe on the ninth of 1207 01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:56,840 Speaker 16: next Tuesday. Every book comes out on Tuesday for some reason. 1208 01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,320 Speaker 16: And I know you're one of the pastors he was 1209 01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:03,400 Speaker 16: closest to. Ah, there you do. You got your advanced copy, and. 1210 01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:07,120 Speaker 5: I just thought i'd ask you throughout to you if 1211 01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:10,920 Speaker 5: you could talk about what the Sabbath means and if 1212 01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:12,600 Speaker 5: you had any if you had any funny interactions with 1213 01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,920 Speaker 5: Charlie about his own relationship with the Sabbath. I'm sure 1214 01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:16,200 Speaker 5: he had that conversation with you. 1215 01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:20,840 Speaker 23: Well, yeah, Charlie was wanting to keep the Sabbath, not 1216 01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:25,080 Speaker 23: necessarily because he thought it was an obligation, but because 1217 01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:29,040 Speaker 23: he thought it was a fabulous idea that helped him 1218 01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:33,320 Speaker 23: recharge every week and refocus back on God and his family. 1219 01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:35,880 Speaker 23: He would take, as you know, Blake, he would take 1220 01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:37,560 Speaker 23: his cell phone, put turn it off, put it in 1221 01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:41,000 Speaker 23: a drawer, and for twenty four to thirty hours over long, 1222 01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:45,000 Speaker 23: the Sabbath was you could not reach him unless there 1223 01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,360 Speaker 23: was some sort of emergency. There was a special line 1224 01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:50,439 Speaker 23: that people could call, but he wanted to be out 1225 01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:52,200 Speaker 23: of touch so he could be in touch with the 1226 01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:55,040 Speaker 23: Lord and in touch with his family, and that's what 1227 01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,520 Speaker 23: he did, and in this book. I was shocked, because 1228 01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:00,440 Speaker 23: he and I talked about this a lot. You probably 1229 01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:03,880 Speaker 23: did too, Blake. I was shocked at how good the 1230 01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:08,280 Speaker 23: book was because he's not a trained theologian, but man, 1231 01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:11,480 Speaker 23: did he do his research, Blake. And he's got chapters 1232 01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:15,880 Speaker 23: in here on arguments why the Sabbath is still in 1233 01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:18,640 Speaker 23: place and another chapter on why it's not, and of 1234 01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:22,520 Speaker 23: course lets the reader decide. But he was so serious 1235 01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:28,480 Speaker 23: about Christianity, so serious about the Bible, that he wanted 1236 01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:30,640 Speaker 23: to put this down because it was such a blessing 1237 01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:34,560 Speaker 23: to him. And if we're going to be serious about 1238 01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:38,439 Speaker 23: being Christians, then we ought to follow the Bible too. 1239 01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:43,320 Speaker 23: And unfortunately, I don't see people following the Bible and 1240 01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:48,200 Speaker 23: following the admonition to ensure that you don't accuse people 1241 01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:52,479 Speaker 23: without evidence. In this whole debate we're having over who 1242 01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:56,320 Speaker 23: really killed Charlie, it's a shame. If people took the 1243 01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:59,840 Speaker 23: Bible as seriously as Charlie did, we wouldn't have what's 1244 01:05:59,880 --> 01:06:02,200 Speaker 23: going on with all this speculation. 1245 01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:05,920 Speaker 16: Now, Amen, Amen, I think there's people have been posting 1246 01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:07,720 Speaker 16: the different, the different warnings. I think it was the 1247 01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:11,840 Speaker 16: Book of Proverbs that we had going yesterday about I 1248 01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:13,840 Speaker 16: don't have it right in front of me, but you know, lies, 1249 01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:15,320 Speaker 16: you have to reject the way of lies. 1250 01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:15,640 Speaker 5: Lies. 1251 01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 23: Yeah, Proverbs six the sixteen says God hates one who 1252 01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:23,120 Speaker 23: sows discord among the brothers, and it also talks about 1253 01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:24,200 Speaker 23: a lying tongue. 1254 01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:24,800 Speaker 14: And false witness. 1255 01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:29,160 Speaker 23: And there's a lot of discord out there, and we 1256 01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:34,920 Speaker 23: don't need discord. We need people to ask good questions, 1257 01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,160 Speaker 23: but not imply people are guilty when you. 1258 01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:37,920 Speaker 14: Don't have evidence. 1259 01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:39,680 Speaker 23: You know, there's such a thing as a complex question, 1260 01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:42,560 Speaker 23: as you well know, Blake, because you're well schooled in logic. 1261 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:46,000 Speaker 23: The complex question would be like me asking a married man, 1262 01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:48,040 Speaker 23: when did you stop beating your wife? 1263 01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's baked in assumption to it. 1264 01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,160 Speaker 14: And that's right. It's a baked in assumption. 1265 01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,320 Speaker 23: And that's what I see in so much of what's 1266 01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,040 Speaker 23: going on with online conspiracy theories. 1267 01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,320 Speaker 14: There's a baked in consumption assumption. 1268 01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:07,680 Speaker 23: And with regard to people convicting innocent people in the 1269 01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:12,080 Speaker 23: court of public opinion without evidence, it's very similar to 1270 01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:15,080 Speaker 23: what happened to Jesus because Caiaphas, the. 1271 01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,280 Speaker 5: High priest had the verdict in his mind. We have 1272 01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,400 Speaker 5: to welcome radio back here. We'll continue to call up 1273 01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:20,920 Speaker 5: this story. 1274 01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:24,120 Speaker 16: Lion lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those 1275 01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:26,720 Speaker 16: who act faithfully are his delight Proverbs twelve. 1276 01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:40,040 Speaker 12: We'll be right back with radio. 1277 01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:43,479 Speaker 5: Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. 1278 01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,480 Speaker 16: We were talking about Charlie's book Stop in the Name 1279 01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:51,480 Speaker 16: of God, out next Tuesday, all about why, let's say here, 1280 01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:56,200 Speaker 16: why honoring the Sabbath will transform your life. I was 1281 01:07:56,280 --> 01:08:00,440 Speaker 16: only a secondhand witness to that. Charlie had only just recently, 1282 01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:04,960 Speaker 16: I believe, begun his weekly Sabbath Shabbat ritual. 1283 01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:06,800 Speaker 5: Around when I joined. But I heard it. I heard 1284 01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:07,880 Speaker 5: it overflow from everyone. 1285 01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:10,920 Speaker 16: They would talk about how different Charlie was, how marriage, 1286 01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:14,040 Speaker 16: how becoming a father, how it had softened his edges, 1287 01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:16,960 Speaker 16: it had made him a more whole and complete person. 1288 01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,680 Speaker 16: And I had the blessing to come in into the 1289 01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:22,800 Speaker 16: aftermath of that where I would just tell I would 1290 01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:24,160 Speaker 16: tell my friends, I would tell these. 1291 01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:25,960 Speaker 5: People, I'm like this Charlie. 1292 01:08:25,960 --> 01:08:29,080 Speaker 16: Guys, it's incredible, how impressive he is, how much he's 1293 01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:33,120 Speaker 16: able to achieve and we're here with Frank Turk. Of course, Frank, 1294 01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:35,360 Speaker 16: you were in the break for the radio people. You 1295 01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:38,960 Speaker 16: were setting up. How about we were talking about truth 1296 01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:41,919 Speaker 16: and untruth and lies, and you're telling a story of Caiaphus. 1297 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:43,400 Speaker 5: Do you want to continue that story? Sure? 1298 01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:43,880 Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah. 1299 01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:48,240 Speaker 23: Caiaphas, the high priest who sentenced Jesus to die, of course, 1300 01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:49,559 Speaker 23: did so much wrong. 1301 01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:50,840 Speaker 14: He had a trial at night. 1302 01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:54,000 Speaker 23: He was the judge, the jury, the executioner himself. Well, 1303 01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:56,000 Speaker 23: he had to get pilot to execute him, but he 1304 01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,360 Speaker 23: already had the verdict in his mind. He was not 1305 01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,599 Speaker 23: trying to discover the truth. He already had the verdict 1306 01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:04,720 Speaker 23: in his mind. And so he brought false witness after 1307 01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:08,080 Speaker 23: false witness to accuse Jesus of something he did not do. 1308 01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:13,280 Speaker 14: And then ultimately Jesus. 1309 01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:16,280 Speaker 23: Under oath did admit he was the Messiah, did admit 1310 01:09:16,400 --> 01:09:19,519 Speaker 23: he was essentially God. And that's where, of course kiaph 1311 01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:22,519 Speaker 23: has tore his robes and said, blasphemy, you must die. 1312 01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:27,439 Speaker 23: But to that point he had done everything against the 1313 01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:32,000 Speaker 23: proper use of authority. You don't judge people. You're not 1314 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,920 Speaker 23: the judge, jury, and executioner. You don't find a verdict. 1315 01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:39,680 Speaker 23: And then try and get people to falsely accuse the 1316 01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:44,960 Speaker 23: victim or the person on trial. But that's what Kiaphas did, 1317 01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:46,479 Speaker 23: and I see too many people doing that. 1318 01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:46,840 Speaker 3: Now. 1319 01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:50,400 Speaker 23: They already have a verdict in their mind. They can't 1320 01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,720 Speaker 23: substantiate it with hard evidence. They have a lot of 1321 01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:54,720 Speaker 23: innuend do. They have a lot of coincidences, but they 1322 01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:59,559 Speaker 23: don't have hard evidence, and they're looking for a way 1323 01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,400 Speaker 23: to value validate what they want to be true. This 1324 01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:05,880 Speaker 23: is not the way our judicial system works, thankfully, It's 1325 01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:08,559 Speaker 23: not the way the Bible puts it forth. It's not 1326 01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:12,040 Speaker 23: the way, which, by the way, our judicial system and 1327 01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:16,400 Speaker 23: our laws are taken largely from the Bible. That you're 1328 01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:18,559 Speaker 23: supposed to have two or three witnesses, in other words, 1329 01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:21,479 Speaker 23: supposed to corroborating evidence. You're supposed to have impartial judges. 1330 01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:25,439 Speaker 23: You're supposed to have an independent judiciary. You're supposed to 1331 01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:28,479 Speaker 23: be able to confront the witnesses. The Bible talks about this, 1332 01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:31,880 Speaker 23: and that's incorporated in our sixth Amendment to the United 1333 01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:35,920 Speaker 23: States Constitution. How can you confront witnesses in the court 1334 01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:40,320 Speaker 23: of public opinion? You can't, not in a systematic way. 1335 01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:44,439 Speaker 23: All this has to go to trial. And I understand Blake, 1336 01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:49,439 Speaker 23: and I know we're all suspicious of government sometimes, but 1337 01:10:49,520 --> 01:10:52,559 Speaker 23: we can't be cynics. We can't say that every single 1338 01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:56,559 Speaker 23: thing the government does is corrupt or wrong. We can't 1339 01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:58,280 Speaker 23: do that. We won't have a society if we do that. 1340 01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,680 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know a lot of this, you know, the 1341 01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:03,960 Speaker 5: events of the past few months. It's made me. 1342 01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:07,719 Speaker 16: It's expanded my appreciation of Charlie and again how strong 1343 01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:10,599 Speaker 16: he was. And one of those things is I've really 1344 01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:14,360 Speaker 16: realized since this happened, what Charlie had to put up 1345 01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:16,840 Speaker 16: with in private that he never complained about. He never 1346 01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:19,640 Speaker 16: complained about to me certainly, and I was one of 1347 01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:20,920 Speaker 16: his closest associates. 1348 01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:23,799 Speaker 5: And you know, he endured a lot of pressure. 1349 01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:26,760 Speaker 16: He endured in private things that were so hurtful, and 1350 01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,320 Speaker 16: he just had this strength he wouldn't let it perturb him. 1351 01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:33,080 Speaker 16: And that's why I wanted to talk about this, about 1352 01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:36,080 Speaker 16: this book, because I do think the Sabbath Shabbah, he 1353 01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:37,719 Speaker 16: would say that helped so much. 1354 01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,160 Speaker 5: It was he for six weeks, he would labor for 1355 01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:43,280 Speaker 5: six weeks. He would endure the slings and arrows of 1356 01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:47,479 Speaker 5: his political enemies, his political allies quite often and then 1357 01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:49,880 Speaker 5: but he had this day or he was he was 1358 01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:52,559 Speaker 5: with Erica, he was with his children, the phone was off, 1359 01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:56,599 Speaker 5: he was unplugged. That was he really makes the point 1360 01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:59,439 Speaker 5: in this book the Sabbath is not this duty. The 1361 01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:00,759 Speaker 5: Sabbath is a gift. 1362 01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:02,920 Speaker 16: It is God's gift to you that you shall not 1363 01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:05,519 Speaker 16: you shall not labor all seven days like a slave. 1364 01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:09,320 Speaker 16: You shall have this freedom from God given to you. 1365 01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:11,559 Speaker 16: And he really wanted to share that. It wasn't just 1366 01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:13,640 Speaker 16: look at how great I am that I can do this. 1367 01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:14,400 Speaker 16: I'm looking here. 1368 01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:16,639 Speaker 5: Chapter twelve, Sabbath made simple. 1369 01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:19,960 Speaker 16: How you can how you can incorporate it into your 1370 01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:23,080 Speaker 16: life by you know, making your Sabbath start ritual, turning 1371 01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:26,839 Speaker 16: off your phone, twenty four hours, planning screen free meals 1372 01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,519 Speaker 16: with friends and family, and it goes on like this, 1373 01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:33,760 Speaker 16: and he really sketches out how you can imitate him. 1374 01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:36,519 Speaker 16: And we were saying in the last hour that Charlie 1375 01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:38,240 Speaker 16: was so great for gen Z because he offered this 1376 01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:43,240 Speaker 16: model of strength and self improvement. Don't blackpill, don't be downbeat. 1377 01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:46,280 Speaker 16: You can improve yourself and make your life better. Thirty 1378 01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:48,800 Speaker 16: seconds Frank, Now I was also going to say, it's 1379 01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:50,960 Speaker 16: not just about the Sabbath too. The first two chapters 1380 01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:54,040 Speaker 16: deal with the fact that there's evidence that Christianity is true. 1381 01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:57,120 Speaker 16: It's more an apologetic, which is a word we used 1382 01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:59,160 Speaker 16: to say, we're giving evidence for what we believe. It's 1383 01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:03,000 Speaker 16: an apologetic for Christianity. So it's not just about the Sabbath. 1384 01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:06,080 Speaker 23: It's a very well written book, very well researched book. 1385 01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:08,720 Speaker 23: It comes out December ninth. It's called Stopping the Name 1386 01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:11,479 Speaker 23: of God. Why honoring the Sabbath will transform your life? 1387 01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:17,439 Speaker 23: Get it, amen, Frank it's I think people will be 1388 01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:19,120 Speaker 23: able to get a lot from it. I think people 1389 01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:21,679 Speaker 23: are really going to appreciate it. And I'm so happy 1390 01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:24,160 Speaker 23: he was able to finish it before he was taken 1391 01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:25,280 Speaker 23: from us by the hand of God. 1392 01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:26,320 Speaker 5: We'll be right back. 1393 01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:39,360 Speaker 17: Welcome back to this Real America's Voice news break. 1394 01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:40,479 Speaker 10: I'm Terrence Bates. 1395 01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:43,920 Speaker 17: The FEDS are reportedly preparing for what's being described as 1396 01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:48,840 Speaker 17: a targeted immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota. The targets would 1397 01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:51,519 Speaker 17: primarily be some Mali immigrants who are living here in 1398 01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:55,439 Speaker 17: the United States illegally. The Associated Press reports the effort 1399 01:13:55,439 --> 01:13:57,840 Speaker 17: could start in the coming days and would center on 1400 01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:02,280 Speaker 17: the Minneapolis Saint Paul area, which has a sizeable Somali population. 1401 01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:05,679 Speaker 17: In fact, that area is home to the nation's largest 1402 01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:09,719 Speaker 17: Somali population. Agents will be looking for people with final 1403 01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:14,839 Speaker 17: orders of deportation. President Trump speaking out on this issue 1404 01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:16,519 Speaker 17: earlier this week. 1405 01:14:16,600 --> 01:14:17,880 Speaker 1: I don't want him in our country. 1406 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:18,720 Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you. 1407 01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:21,280 Speaker 11: Somebody say, oh, that's not politically correct. 1408 01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:23,759 Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't want him in our country. 1409 01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:27,400 Speaker 2: Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stakes, 1410 01:14:28,160 --> 01:14:29,240 Speaker 2: and we don't want them. 1411 01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:30,120 Speaker 1: In our country. 1412 01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:35,040 Speaker 17: Minneapolis's mayor says that his city's police officers will not 1413 01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:39,719 Speaker 17: work with federal agents during the immigration enforcement quote. Targeting 1414 01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:43,160 Speaker 17: Somali people means that the due process will be violated, 1415 01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:46,639 Speaker 17: mistakes will be made, and let's be clear, it means 1416 01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:49,400 Speaker 17: that American citizens will be detained for no other reason 1417 01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:52,280 Speaker 17: than the fact that they look like they're Somali. This 1418 01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:55,479 Speaker 17: is not now and will never be a legitimate reason, 1419 01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:59,679 Speaker 17: he says. President Trump, continuing his push to reverse any 1420 01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:03,120 Speaker 17: act from his predecessor, Joe Biden that were enacted with 1421 01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:06,599 Speaker 17: the use of the now infamous autopen taken to true 1422 01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:12,480 Speaker 17: Social forty seven, writing any and all documents proclamations executive orders, memorandums, 1423 01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:15,920 Speaker 17: or contracts signed by order of the now infamous and 1424 01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:19,960 Speaker 17: unauthorized Autopen within the administration of Joseph R. 1425 01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:20,759 Speaker 10: Biden, Jr. 1426 01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:25,320 Speaker 17: Are hereby null, void, and of no further force or effect. 1427 01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:30,719 Speaker 17: Anyone receiving pardons, commutations, or any other legal document so signed, 1428 01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:34,000 Speaker 17: please be advised that said document has been fully and 1429 01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:37,760 Speaker 17: completely terminated and is of no legal effect. Thank you 1430 01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:40,320 Speaker 17: for your attention to this matter. He goes on to 1431 01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:43,719 Speaker 17: write President Trump and others, of course, continue to question 1432 01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:46,680 Speaker 17: whether Biden was mentally fit during his time in the 1433 01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:49,840 Speaker 17: White House. They also believe the former president's aids and 1434 01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:53,400 Speaker 17: others around him made key decisions and used the autopen 1435 01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:57,280 Speaker 17: to enforce them, unbeknownst to Biden. That's a quick check 1436 01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:06,400 Speaker 17: of your headline. 1437 01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:15,160 Speaker 14: Democracy lives in light The Charlie Kirk Show. 1438 01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:20,719 Speaker 5: Welcome back to The Charlie Kirk Show. 1439 01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:25,000 Speaker 16: We're going to talk about TikTok, connection and open dialogue. 1440 01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:28,200 Speaker 16: Those are the things that build communities. Charlie Kirk and 1441 01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:31,880 Speaker 16: TikTok shared in that knowledge. That is why TikTok has 1442 01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:35,200 Speaker 16: built a space where that kind of listening actually happens. 1443 01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:39,280 Speaker 16: People don't just post, they respond, They build on each 1444 01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:42,439 Speaker 16: other's ideas. You can see a teacher simplifying a tough 1445 01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:44,800 Speaker 16: lesson so that it finally clicks, or you can see 1446 01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:48,080 Speaker 16: a gardener sharing a trick that saved their crop. But 1447 01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:50,920 Speaker 16: what matters most isn't the video, it's what comes next. 1448 01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:54,800 Speaker 16: Someone asking a question, someone else answering that question with 1449 01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:57,200 Speaker 16: the story of their own and suddenly people you've never 1450 01:16:57,240 --> 01:17:01,240 Speaker 16: met are becoming a new community built on curiosity. When 1451 01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:05,360 Speaker 16: people listen and when people understand, a shift happens. Walls 1452 01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:11,120 Speaker 16: come down, ideas travel farther, and connection, real connection takes 1453 01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:14,439 Speaker 16: the place of isolation. That is what listening does. It 1454 01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:16,920 Speaker 16: reminds us that we're not as different as we might 1455 01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:19,880 Speaker 16: think we are. And that is what makes TikTok so 1456 01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:23,519 Speaker 16: so powerful. It's a place where every post turns into 1457 01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:28,760 Speaker 16: a conversation, and every conversation can make a difference and 1458 01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:31,120 Speaker 16: to have a very interesting conversation. 1459 01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:35,519 Speaker 5: Right now, we're joined by Bill Galan.

You were 1480 01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:32,920 Speaker 16: some of the first guys to be talking about these 1481 01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:36,280 Speaker 16: fraud stories that are happening. And most memorably, I've got 1482 01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:38,840 Speaker 16: to shout you out. You were the original ones who 1483 01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,800 Speaker 16: wrote about ilhan Omar marrying her brother. 1484 01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:46,799 Speaker 24: Correct, correct, she did mar or your brother she did recently, 1485 01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:48,440 Speaker 24: so I think an hour ago. 1486 01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:52,080 Speaker 5: An hour ago. Really as recently as that you are. 1487 01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:52,760 Speaker 5: On top of. 1488 01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:55,479 Speaker 3: That, she didn't marry her brother, but she did. 1489 01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:56,080 Speaker 5: She did. 1490 01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:58,800 Speaker 16: They should be investigated. We I'd really love to see. 1491 01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:01,120 Speaker 16: I want the full story on that. Somehow it's just 1492 01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:03,800 Speaker 16: treated like a total, like a total black box. We 1493 01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:06,920 Speaker 16: just will never know the truth somehow absolute lunacy. But 1494 01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:09,320 Speaker 16: the more recent thing that's been going on, of course, 1495 01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:13,640 Speaker 16: is the Somali fraud story. It went viral because of 1496 01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:16,719 Speaker 16: a report from Chris rufe Oil Ryan Thorpe at City Journal. 1497 01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:20,040 Speaker 5: But you guys have justifiably pointed out it has been 1498 01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:22,160 Speaker 5: known in the state of Minnesota for a while, and 1499 01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:25,960 Speaker 5: it's more that the nation is getting it's coming to 1500 01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:28,160 Speaker 5: their attention, and it's really wider than even just the 1501 01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:30,519 Speaker 5: list of stories in that I think we have a 1502 01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:32,559 Speaker 5: chart here that I want to bring up. 1503 01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:36,080 Speaker 16: It's made by you. It's just the scale of different 1504 01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:39,160 Speaker 16: fraud schemes that have been unfolding in Minnesota. Can you 1505 01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:39,920 Speaker 16: lay that out for us? 1506 01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:44,080 Speaker 24: Yeah, So I created something called the Scandal Tracker for 1507 01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:45,680 Speaker 24: exactly the reasons. 1508 01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:46,719 Speaker 3: That you were pointing out before. 1509 01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:49,840 Speaker 24: And the freeze that I use is Minnesota. This is 1510 01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,559 Speaker 24: a church Chilian phrase Minnesota produces more news that can 1511 01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:55,920 Speaker 24: be consumed locally. So we've had a couple of these huge, 1512 01:19:56,400 --> 01:20:00,000 Speaker 24: industrial scale welfare frauds that have gone onto the statee 1513 01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:03,920 Speaker 24: and I think it was a reader of mine asks, well, 1514 01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:06,040 Speaker 24: what other scan? How deep does this go? And so 1515 01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:09,160 Speaker 24: I started putting together this tracker where I have tracked 1516 01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:14,080 Speaker 24: twenty eight separate scandals involving money taxpayer money, state or 1517 01:20:14,080 --> 01:20:17,960 Speaker 24: federal taxpayer money had been stolen through fraud. And I 1518 01:20:18,040 --> 01:20:19,920 Speaker 24: need to update it because there was a news story 1519 01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:21,920 Speaker 24: that came out in the last day or so yet 1520 01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:25,439 Speaker 24: another fraud unrelated to the Somali frauds that we've been 1521 01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:26,120 Speaker 24: talking about. 1522 01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:28,719 Speaker 3: And some of those numbers are kind of low. 1523 01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:33,200 Speaker 24: As federal investigators or state investigators dig deeper, the dollar 1524 01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:36,000 Speaker 24: amount keep grows, keeps growing, as I say, we. 1525 01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,559 Speaker 16: Have the chart up actually right now actually, and yeah, 1526 01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:41,960 Speaker 16: it's three hundred million feeding our future. We have one 1527 01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:45,320 Speaker 16: hundred million for the childcare assistance program. But I know 1528 01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:48,200 Speaker 16: now we're estimating the total here is six hundred and 1529 01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:51,000 Speaker 16: sixty million. But I know they're throwing around the B 1530 01:20:51,120 --> 01:20:53,280 Speaker 16: word a billion dollars for a lot of us now, 1531 01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:55,280 Speaker 16: So this is. 1532 01:20:55,520 --> 01:20:57,240 Speaker 3: A dated chart, I need to update it. 1533 01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:01,880 Speaker 24: But our local prosecutor, the head prosecutor for white collar 1534 01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:06,280 Speaker 24: crime at the federal US Attorney's Office, he is on 1535 01:21:06,400 --> 01:21:11,280 Speaker 24: record as saying his office is prosecuting over one billion 1536 01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:15,200 Speaker 24: with a B dollars worth of fraud and he's only 1537 01:21:15,320 --> 01:21:19,160 Speaker 24: got half a dozen prosecutors in his office. He is 1538 01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:22,880 Speaker 24: openly admitted, I can't prosecute all the cases that come 1539 01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:25,719 Speaker 24: to me. So when he puts a dollar amount together, 1540 01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:29,400 Speaker 24: he thinks the total is over two billion, again plural, 1541 01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:32,200 Speaker 24: more than two billion dollars worth of fraud. And you've 1542 01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:36,000 Speaker 24: seen other numbers thrown around six billion, eight billion. But 1543 01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:39,639 Speaker 24: Joe Thompson, he's got access to all the bank records 1544 01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:43,880 Speaker 24: and all the FBI reports, and he's personally prosecuting eight 1545 01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:47,440 Speaker 24: billion dollars worth now, and he thinks he could productively 1546 01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:50,360 Speaker 24: prosecute another full billion dollars. 1547 01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:55,360 Speaker 16: So you're a Minnesota resident, you focus on Minnesota. It 1548 01:21:55,400 --> 01:21:58,719 Speaker 16: does seem to produce more content than it consumed locally 1549 01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:01,519 Speaker 16: as far as news goes. What do you think is 1550 01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:04,559 Speaker 16: the secret sauce of Minnesota where it's like you have 1551 01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:09,920 Speaker 16: this kind of perfect combination of old fashion. Maybe call 1552 01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:13,960 Speaker 16: it naive liberalism, call it tim Waltzism. And then also 1553 01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:19,559 Speaker 16: this new immigration driven dimension of left province in American life. 1554 01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:21,840 Speaker 3: That's the lethal combination. 1555 01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:26,880 Speaker 24: Minnesota was founded by a diverse group of immigrants, a 1556 01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:30,839 Speaker 24: lot of them from Scandinavia, but also German, Irish other groups. 1557 01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:35,639 Speaker 24: But you had in Minnesota until maybe thirty forty years ago, 1558 01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:42,799 Speaker 24: a fairly homogeneous population of Northern Europeans. And again it's 1559 01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:45,639 Speaker 24: not I don't think it's racist to point out that 1560 01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:50,679 Speaker 24: in Scandinavia you can run a Scandinavian style socialist welfare 1561 01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:56,000 Speaker 24: state in a fairly homogeneous nation and be successful with it. 1562 01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:59,519 Speaker 24: And Minnesota tried that and succeeded at some level with that. 1563 01:23:00,320 --> 01:23:03,320 Speaker 24: The Scandinavian style. You can do that in a high 1564 01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:07,160 Speaker 24: trust society. But as we've brought in people who don't 1565 01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:11,480 Speaker 24: come from that background, who don't come from high functioning 1566 01:23:11,600 --> 01:23:15,280 Speaker 24: or high trust societies, who don't have the experience with 1567 01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:21,240 Speaker 24: the cradle to grave welfare societies, some individuals in those communities, certainly, 1568 01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:22,280 Speaker 24: not most, certainly not. 1569 01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:24,000 Speaker 3: All, but some individuals. 1570 01:23:24,040 --> 01:23:26,400 Speaker 24: We're talking a few hundred and maybe a couple of 1571 01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:30,479 Speaker 24: thousand people have found the loopholes in the safety net 1572 01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:34,080 Speaker 24: and have exploited it to make themselves extremely wealthy, and 1573 01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:36,920 Speaker 24: more than a few have gone to prison, and dozens 1574 01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:39,599 Speaker 24: and dozens have been convicted. And I think it's that 1575 01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:43,799 Speaker 24: lethal combination of the Scandinavian style cradle to grave welfare 1576 01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:50,000 Speaker 24: state designed for a homogeneous, high trust society being exploited 1577 01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:53,920 Speaker 24: by a society that has evolved and perhaps for the better, 1578 01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:58,280 Speaker 24: into a multicultural, multi ethnic society. But those just two 1579 01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:01,320 Speaker 24: fundamental approaches to earning a society don't match. 1580 01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:04,360 Speaker 16: So this has gotten a ton of attention from the 1581 01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:07,240 Speaker 16: Trump administration. They've taught, they're talked about sending all these 1582 01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:10,479 Speaker 16: irs agents to review everything. Although it seems like the 1583 01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:13,240 Speaker 16: local prosecutor has a lot of this well in hand, 1584 01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:14,519 Speaker 16: though we'd be grateful to find more. 1585 01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:15,880 Speaker 3: He has a lot of all on him. But I'm 1586 01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:18,400 Speaker 3: sure he would appreciate the additional assistance. 1587 01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:19,280 Speaker 5: I believe it. 1588 01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:23,960 Speaker 16: I believe that, as do you have anything you think? So, 1589 01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:27,360 Speaker 16: what would you recommend if now that it's getting more 1590 01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:30,240 Speaker 16: federal attention, where do you think focus could be most 1591 01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:34,960 Speaker 16: rewarding in terms of making additional finds that could be 1592 01:24:35,200 --> 01:24:36,519 Speaker 16: good for the country to expose. 1593 01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:41,040 Speaker 24: Yeah, so, it's a target rich environment, and it's gotten 1594 01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:44,320 Speaker 24: to the point where somebody responded to me on Twitter 1595 01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:47,040 Speaker 24: that maybe it's just time to put the state into 1596 01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:52,519 Speaker 24: receivership and that federal prosecutor instead of prosecuting criminals one 1597 01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:54,880 Speaker 24: at a time. The fraud is being conducted at an 1598 01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:59,960 Speaker 24: industrial scale, but the prosecutions, by necessity under a constitution, 1599 01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,799 Speaker 24: should happen on a retail scale, one defendant at a time, 1600 01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:06,920 Speaker 24: who has the full suite of civil rights and rights 1601 01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:09,880 Speaker 24: in court and the exercise them, which is there right 1602 01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:13,000 Speaker 24: but to prosecute a trial. The first batch of feeding 1603 01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:16,719 Speaker 24: our future the original scandal, those indictments, the first batch 1604 01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:19,400 Speaker 24: came in September of twenty twenty two. 1605 01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:21,720 Speaker 3: We didn't have our first trial. 1606 01:25:21,439 --> 01:25:25,040 Speaker 24: Until twenty twenty four, and we have trials scheduled into 1607 01:25:25,080 --> 01:25:28,519 Speaker 24: twenty twenty six. And that's just for the defendants that 1608 01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:32,360 Speaker 24: have been indicted to date. And again it seems like 1609 01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:35,200 Speaker 24: one or two a week additional indictments come down. 1610 01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:39,000 Speaker 3: But it's got to be a holistic approach. 1611 01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:42,280 Speaker 24: You know, the fraudsters figured out how to defraud one 1612 01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:45,839 Speaker 24: program in one state agency and apply that same technique 1613 01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:48,160 Speaker 24: to another program and a different state agency. 1614 01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:51,519 Speaker 3: The agencies weren't talking to each other. I really think 1615 01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:54,519 Speaker 3: we need to have a top down review of the 1616 01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:55,840 Speaker 3: social welfare. 1617 01:25:55,400 --> 01:26:00,880 Speaker 24: Programs, maybe consolidate fewer programs, put more instigators on it, 1618 01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:03,760 Speaker 24: put more restrictions on it. A little bit of due 1619 01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:06,240 Speaker 24: diligence would have gone a long way in these frauds. 1620 01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:11,280 Speaker 24: And somebody just visited site locations or done some basic 1621 01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:14,439 Speaker 24: background checks, hundreds of millions of dollars could have been 1622 01:26:14,439 --> 01:26:16,679 Speaker 24: prevented from going out the door, but they didn't. It's 1623 01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:22,479 Speaker 24: a system. Minnesota has the system which I which I 1624 01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:26,360 Speaker 24: characterize as the honor system. So all of state governments 1625 01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:29,679 Speaker 24: on the honor system. If you apply for a benefit 1626 01:26:29,800 --> 01:26:32,240 Speaker 24: or you send the state an invoice, our first instinct 1627 01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:34,639 Speaker 24: is just trust that you're doing it, you know, under 1628 01:26:34,680 --> 01:26:36,320 Speaker 24: penalty of perjury, assigned a document. 1629 01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:38,680 Speaker 16: It's unbelievable to me. Yeah, the honor system, it just 1630 01:26:38,760 --> 01:26:41,639 Speaker 16: it doesn't work. It's clearly getting looted and you really 1631 01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:44,240 Speaker 16: have to make the case they're just plundering the entire 1632 01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:47,479 Speaker 16: rest of the state.

They're released back into the wild 1780 01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:23,440 Speaker 16: to hurt people again, Is that really what's going on exactly? 1781 01:34:23,800 --> 01:34:26,479 Speaker 3: The key words in that report that you just aired 1782 01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:27,639 Speaker 3: were Hannopon County. 1783 01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:32,160 Speaker 24: Hennebon County is the largest bipopulation county in Minnesota. It 1784 01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:34,559 Speaker 24: includes the city in Minneapolis, which got mentioned in the 1785 01:34:34,600 --> 01:34:37,679 Speaker 24: report as well, and that crime, if I recall correctly, 1786 01:34:38,080 --> 01:34:40,600 Speaker 24: the most recent one occurred in the city of Bloomington, 1787 01:34:40,640 --> 01:34:42,920 Speaker 24: which is also a Hannopon County, home to the Mall 1788 01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:43,680 Speaker 24: of America. 1789 01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:45,480 Speaker 3: Hanneben County is prosecutor. 1790 01:34:45,600 --> 01:34:51,639 Speaker 24: The lead prosecutor elected official Mary Moriarty, notorious soft on crime, 1791 01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:55,919 Speaker 24: and the officials of the judges rather in the Hennipon 1792 01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:59,160 Speaker 24: County are notoriously soft on crime as well. So it's 1793 01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:03,919 Speaker 24: entirely the pattern you see time and time again convicted felons, 1794 01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:08,120 Speaker 24: even violent felons, it's almost impossible to get sense of 1795 01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:10,519 Speaker 24: state prisons, at least on the first or second try, 1796 01:35:11,040 --> 01:35:14,280 Speaker 24: the staid sentences time served. We heard that in the 1797 01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:19,360 Speaker 24: report the Plea Deals. They think the idea is prison 1798 01:35:19,439 --> 01:35:22,879 Speaker 24: is the wrong. We have an over incarceration problem. According 1799 01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:25,720 Speaker 24: to Mary Moriarty and a lot of judges, they think 1800 01:35:25,760 --> 01:35:27,759 Speaker 24: the solution has never sent them to be for prison. 1801 01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:29,320 Speaker 3: I don't know what the solution. 1802 01:35:29,240 --> 01:35:33,320 Speaker 24: Is in their view, healing circles or alternatives to detention, 1803 01:35:34,040 --> 01:35:37,200 Speaker 24: but it's nearly impossible to actually get prison time, no 1804 01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:39,800 Speaker 24: matter how violent the crime is. To the point where 1805 01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:43,200 Speaker 24: we've seen exactly what happened with these white collar crimes, 1806 01:35:43,200 --> 01:35:46,920 Speaker 24: these fraud crimes, it's the federal prosecutors that have stepped 1807 01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:50,200 Speaker 24: in and filled the gap. They have literally taken over 1808 01:35:50,439 --> 01:35:55,160 Speaker 24: cases from Hennepin County prosecutors and prosecuted them in federal 1809 01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:58,640 Speaker 24: court with the knowledge there was a much higher likelihood 1810 01:35:59,120 --> 01:36:02,600 Speaker 24: that the the offendant, if convicted would actually serve a 1811 01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:06,120 Speaker 24: prison sentence, and serve a full prison senence at that So, 1812 01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:09,160 Speaker 24: especially the gang problem. This didn't sound like a gang problem, 1813 01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:13,160 Speaker 24: but there's a big gang problem in Minneapolis, ethnic gangs. 1814 01:36:13,479 --> 01:36:13,680 Speaker 3: You know. 1815 01:36:13,760 --> 01:36:15,920 Speaker 24: The President says they're running him up. He's not wrong, 1816 01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:20,240 Speaker 24: But the Feds have stepped in. Andy Lueger, the Biden appointee, 1817 01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:23,920 Speaker 24: and then the new Trump appointee, have been vigorously prosecuting 1818 01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:28,719 Speaker 24: gang violence, some of the more notorious violent crimes because 1819 01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:33,160 Speaker 24: Barry Moriarty, the county attorney, and the judges just won't 1820 01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:35,240 Speaker 24: take care of the job. I don't really blame the 1821 01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:39,120 Speaker 24: law enforcement folks. They make the arrests, they make the cases, 1822 01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:42,799 Speaker 24: they hand it over to prosecutors. The prosecutors cut plea deals. 1823 01:36:43,200 --> 01:36:45,800 Speaker 24: The judges won't impose prison sentences. 1824 01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:47,800 Speaker 16: All right, we have just thirty seconds to go, So 1825 01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:49,360 Speaker 16: I want to give you. I shout it out your blog. 1826 01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:51,160 Speaker 16: Tell people where they can read your work. 1827 01:36:52,400 --> 01:36:54,839 Speaker 24: Yes, I write for the Center of the American Experiment 1828 01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:57,040 Speaker 24: at Americanexperiment dot org. 1829 01:36:57,200 --> 01:36:59,640 Speaker 3: Or you can reach me also at power. 1830 01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:05,760 Speaker 16: Line Blog powerline blog dot com. There they are real MVPs. 1831 01:37:05,840 --> 01:37:08,000 Speaker 16: I've loved them.
