1 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: The Charlie Kirk Show starts now. 2 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 2: And I am satisfied that I'm not going to do anything. 3 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 2: I said, I advide by the jury decision, and I 4 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: will do that and I will not partner him. 5 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 3: What is before us is a president who is living 6 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 3: the rule of law. 7 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: He is living in. 8 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 3: The yeah in the most personal way. 9 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: He is not pardoning his son. 10 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 3: He is not doing it because he is living what 11 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 3: it means to have a rule of law, and he 12 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 3: is allowing the norms that are required to limit a 13 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 3: democracy to go forward. 14 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: The President would not pardon or community sence. Sport is 15 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: still one Hunter. I want to make sure that that 16 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: is not going to change over the next six months. 17 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 3: The President's say, it's still a no. 18 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: It's still an able always you know, it's still a know. 19 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 4: It will be a no. 20 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 5: It is a no. 21 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: And I don't have anything else to add. Will he 22 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: pardon his son? 23 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 5: No. 24 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,479 Speaker 6: Earlier in the evening, the President released a statement reading, 25 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,479 Speaker 6: in part, there has been an effort to break Hunter, 26 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 6: who has been five and a half years sober, even 27 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 6: in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution. In 28 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 6: trying to break Hunter, they've tried to bring me, and 29 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 6: there's no reason to believe it will stop here. 30 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: Enough is enough. 31 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 6: And just now Donald Trump posted on his truth social 32 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 6: account quote, does the pardon given by Joe to Hunter 33 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 6: include the. 34 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: J six hostages who have now been in prisoned for years? 35 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 6: Such an abuse and miscarriage of justice? 36 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 7: Well, I want CHRISTIANTI speak for the entire caucus, but 37 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 7: I will say, way to go, Joe. Let me be 38 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 7: the first as I congratulate the President for deciding to 39 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 7: do this, because at the end of the day, we 40 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 7: know that we have a thirty four account convicted fellain 41 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 7: that is about to walk into the White House. 42 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: So for anyone that wants to clutch. 43 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 7: Their pearls now because he decided that he was going 44 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 7: to pardon his son, I would say, take a look 45 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 7: in the mirror, because we also know that when it 46 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 7: comes to this cabinet, this cabinet has more people accused 47 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 7: of sexual assault than any incoming cabinet probably ever in 48 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 7: the history of America. So we are living in unprecedented 49 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 7: times and we know that this was completely political. As 50 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,399 Speaker 7: someone who serves on the Oversight Committee, this was gangsmanship 51 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 7: the entire time. 52 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: I don't know that people will be surprised, because you're right. 53 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 5: Joe Biden repeatedly said he wouldn't do this, so he 54 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 5: repeatedly lied. But this just furthers the cynicism that people 55 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 5: have about politics, and that cynicism strengthens Trump because. 56 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: Trump can just say I'm not a unique threat. Everybody 57 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: does this. 58 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 8: This is the worst possible thing a president could possibly 59 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 8: do to his party and to the country to sit 60 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 8: for a year and say I will not do this. 61 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: I will not do this. The rule of law is sacred. 62 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: We have to respect the justice system. 63 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 8: Juries. We have to respect juries. We have to respect 64 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 8: the guardrails and the norms of our democracy. These people 65 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 8: are liars. Inflation is transitory. Ffghianastan, It's a success. The 66 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 8: border is secure. Robert Hurr is a liar. The videos 67 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 8: are chief fakes. Biden has a cold. He'll never drop out. Oh, 68 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 8: I'll never pardon Hunter. 69 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: It's all a lie. 70 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 8: It is all a grip. Every American except the most partisan, 71 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 8: brain rotted people, are going to be outraged by this today. 72 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: What you represent your presidence here is. 73 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 9: That the largest day event in conservative grassroots history is 74 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 9: a message app will be heard by these people. 75 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: Phoenix, Ours are from all of these are smartle because 76 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: it brings everyone to their favorite of the energy. Let 77 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: us watch us here. The stakes are high up. We 78 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: have begun to slights. 79 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 4: Every day is a battle for your mind, raging information 80 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 4: coming from every angle. 81 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: With the will to the sea, I fear not. You 82 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: found the place for truth, the. 83 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 4: Voice of a generation that still has the will to 84 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 4: believe in the greatest country in the history of the world. 85 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: This is the Charlie Kirk Show. Fuck a lot. Here 86 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: we go at. 87 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 10: Hello everyready radio stations across the country. I interview with 88 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 10: you as always Happy Monday. I hope you had a 89 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:37,239 Speaker 10: wonderful Thanksgiving. We certainly did, rested and recovered and ready 90 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 10: to go, and we thought it was just going to 91 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 10: kind of be a sleepy Thanksgiving weekend. We thought that, 92 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 10: you know, in Trump world, that it was just going 93 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 10: to kind of be okay. Trump is doing the YMCA 94 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 10: dance at mar A Lago. Nothing big, nothing groundbreaking, and 95 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 10: oh no, no, we are in a brand new world 96 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 10: day someon would say a brave new world, not Huxleyan, 97 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 10: but it certainly has some elements of that. Where this 98 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 10: weekend a lot happened. It started on Wednesday evening, President 99 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 10: Trump met with Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, otherwise known 100 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 10: as a meta. Then on Friday, President Trump had dinner 101 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 10: with Justin Trudeau. All of this, by the way, around 102 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 10: his threats of tariffs against Mexico and Canada and China. 103 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 10: Turns out the tariff threats have worked so much so 104 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 10: that Justin Trudeau borded his plane while they don't do 105 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 10: Thanksgiving in Canada, boarded his plane the day after Thanksgiving 106 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 10: to come down to basically get on his hands and 107 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 10: knees and beg President Trump will not wreck the Canadian economy. 108 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: You know, it's so funny. 109 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 10: Democrats would say time and time again, in order to 110 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 10: solve the border crisis, you need a buy partisan border bill, 111 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 10: you need James Lankfort's border bill, You need a buy 112 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 10: partisan consensus. President Trump says, just give me a phone call. 113 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 10: You want a multi billion dollar border bill. Yeah, that'll 114 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 10: help if we do actual targeting of border patrol agents, 115 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,559 Speaker 10: funding on the border. One phone call, one truth social post, 116 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 10: and President Trump was able to allocate more than any 117 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 10: bipartisan border bill possibly would have. Feels like American power 118 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 10: is finally being restored to the world. Then over the weekend, 119 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 10: on Saturday evening, President Trump sent yet another shockwave to 120 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 10: the system. We already have Pete Hegseth. We have Pam Bondi, 121 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 10: who's going to do a great job. We already have 122 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 10: Tulsei Gabbard. We already have Bobby Kennedy. I mean, we 123 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 10: have this all star team. We have Elon Musk, we 124 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 10: have a Viak Ramaswami. However, there was this open slot 125 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 10: of who is going to control the FBI. 126 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: Now. 127 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 10: The FBI, interesting enough, was actually not chartered by the FBI, 128 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 10: even though it was given its name in nineteen thirty 129 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 10: five by Congress. Nineteen oh eight, Attorney General Charles Bonaparte 130 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 10: created the Bureau of Investigation, otherwise known as the BOI. 131 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,559 Speaker 10: It was an investigative force within the Department of Justice. 132 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 10: Bonaparte hired thirty four people, including some former Secret Service members, 133 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 10: to work for the agency. In nineteen thirty five, Congress 134 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 10: gave it its current name, the FBI. Now, mind you, 135 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 10: the FBI is part of the Department of Justice. It 136 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 10: is part of the DOJ, and the FBI's authority comes 137 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 10: from Congressional statutes, executive orders, and Code of Federal regulations. 138 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 10: So the FBI has always kind of it's not in 139 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 10: the constitution, it is a form of the DOJ. And 140 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 10: President Trump sent another shockwave nominating cash Patel to lead 141 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 10: the FBI. Now I have a lot to talk about 142 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 10: the Cash Patel story because it is just phenomenal, enormous news, 143 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 10: and it's going to require all of you in this 144 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 10: audience to keep the pressure on your senators, from Idaho, 145 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 10: from Kansas, from South Dakota, from Arkansas to make sure 146 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 10: that cash Patel is confirmed by the Senate. But early 147 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 10: signs and early indicators are very good. We have Senator 148 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 10: Marshall Blackburn coming up in the second hour to discuss this. 149 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: But then the even bigger news as if it was. 150 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 10: Leading up Zuckerberg, Trudeau, Cash Patel, and then Boom. Last night, 151 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:30,959 Speaker 10: despite repeated proclamations, statements, and promises that he would not 152 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 10: do this, Joe Biden gave a blanket pardon to his 153 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 10: son Hunter Biden. Now it wasn't just a pardon for 154 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,599 Speaker 10: the crimes that he was convicted of. It was a 155 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 10: blanket part in going all the way back to twenty fourteen, 156 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 10: which interestingly now covers all of the Ukrainian and the 157 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 10: Chinese Communist Party activities that the Biden family was involved in. 158 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 10: This comes while we're also seeing other left wing billionaires 159 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 10: like Reid Hoffman talking about fleeing the country. If these 160 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 10: people did nothing wrong, why are they so worried about 161 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 10: the government coming after them. You see Joe Biden pardoning 162 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 10: his son again. I'm not going to get too worked 163 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 10: up about this. A father should look after his son. 164 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 10: Family does come first. But from the presidential standpoint, this 165 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 10: is much more about the corruption and the lying and 166 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 10: the deception of the President of the United States. Joe 167 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 10: Biden all along should have just said, look, I'm going 168 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 10: to look very closely at it.

They decided at the time that 204 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 10: he'd publicly say he would not part of him, even 205 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 10: though it remained on the table. So basically, we're just 206 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 10: going to lie. It is the same cabal that told 207 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 10: you the vaccine was safe and effective, the same group 208 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 10: of people that told you that you need to have 209 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 10: six feet of social distancing, The same people that told 210 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 10: you these early treatments like ivermectin hydroxychlorical were horse paced 211 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 10: and was going to kill you.

In 232 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 6: trying to break Hunter, they've tried to break me, and 233 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 6: there's no reason to believe it will stop here.

Adam Schiff Entrodus Day bill back 316 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 10: in twenty eighteen to keep Trump from abusing pardon powers 317 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 10: for his family. Where's Adam Schiff now, the new Senator 318 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 10: from California? Play cup twenty eight. 319 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 6: So the president's pardon a Scooter Libby Congressman has inspired 320 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 6: you to propose new legislation? 321 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: What exactly would it do? 322 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 13: What it would do is say that in the event 323 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 13: the president pardons anyone in an investigation in which the 324 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 13: President is a witness, a subject, or the target, those 325 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 13: investigative files. 326 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 1: Will all be turned over to the Congress. 327 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 13: The Congress ought to know whether the President is using 328 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 13: the pardon power to obstruct justice. The American people have 329 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 13: a right to know. I think it is clearly constitutional. 330 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 13: It doesn't prohibit him from granting a pardon, even a 331 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 13: pardon he shouldn't grant. But it does say that we 332 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 13: will be able to at least find out whether the 333 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 13: President is using this power to shield himself from liability. 334 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: It offers transparency, at the very least. 335 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 10: Transparency. I am curious our resident historian Blake can do this. 336 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 10: Is this the first family presidential part in in American history? 337 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 10: Like immediate father son, father daughter. 338 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: It's not. 339 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 10: Okay, there have been others. Oh Bill Clinton did I 340 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,880 Speaker 10: don't know he pardoned. 341 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: His daughter. I didn't know that. 342 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 10: Oh he pardoned his brother. Okay, has anyone pardoned their 343 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 10: biological nudged the bio? 344 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: They're their kids. I know that Trump pardoned Jared Kushner's dad. 345 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: It's interesting. 346 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 10: Email us as always Freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com 347 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 10: and subscribe to our podcast. And yeah, it was technically 348 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 10: Clinton's half brother I think was the closest president Trump 349 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 10: Day one has a mandate to issue mass pardons and 350 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 10: commutations across the board. And if you read Joe Biden's 351 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,199 Speaker 10: description as to why he did this, he says, oh, 352 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 10: no one really trusts the Department of Justice. Interesting, Joe Biden, 353 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 10: your Department of Justice is the one that went after 354 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 10: Donald Trump to try to throw him in prison for 355 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 10: seven hundred years. 356 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: You went around saying that nobody is above the law. 357 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 10: And again, I mean a father asked to look after 358 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 10: his son. I tweeted that immediately. It doesn't get me 359 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 10: as fired up on the actual action of doing it. 360 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 10: It's a bad look, no doubt. It smells of corruption. 361 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 10: Hunter Biden is a stone cold criminal. But you can't 362 00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 10: fall to father for looking after his son. 363 00:21:59,600 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 1: You can't. 364 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 10: However, you can fault the president for desecrating the office 365 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 10: of the presidency, and both those things can mutually be true. 366 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 10: In the next segment, I'm going to dive into the 367 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 10: Cash Batel appointment because it plays into this we don't 368 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 10: trust our systems of justice. We're going to go back 369 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 10: into the history of the FBI and what they have 370 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 10: become and who is Cash Patel. Cash is probably come 371 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 10: on our show fifty times and I pushed really really 372 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 10: hard to get him to be FBI director. We pushed 373 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 10: really hard, and now we got to get him across 374 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 10: the finish line. 375 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 1: Not only do we not have trust in the FBI, 376 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: if you. 377 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 10: Are a Christian, if you are a Catholic, if you 378 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 10: are a person of faith, if you go to school 379 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 10: board meetings, if you are a conservative, we actively fear 380 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 10: the FBI. We fear the knock on the door of 381 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 10: the secret police, jamming down your door and taking you 382 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 10: away and going through all of your items, possibly putting 383 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 10: you in jail. The FBI has become Cash Patel is 384 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 10: going to be the next FBI director. We explain more 385 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 10: after the break. 386 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 12: Terrence Bates here with your Real America's Voice News Break. 387 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 12: Thanks so much for being along for the ride. President 388 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 12: Trump continues making a splash with his top level nominees. 389 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 12: Among the latest is Cash Patel, who is President Trump's 390 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 12: pick to replace Christopher Ray as head of the FBI. 391 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 12: A number of Senators are already on record saying they 392 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 12: support the forty four year old. Ironically, President Trump is 393 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 12: looking to replace Ray, whom you appoint a director of 394 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 12: the bureau back in twenty seventeen. Ray technically still has 395 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 12: three years left on his ten year tenure. That ten 396 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 12: years on the job is meant to ensure that directors 397 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 12: of the FBI can operate without political influencer pressure. However, 398 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 12: many on the right argue that Ray's decisions have largely 399 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 12: been influenced by politics. 400 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: By politics. 401 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 12: Given the recent announcement about Patel's likely ascension to the 402 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 12: top job at the nation's top law enforcement agency, it 403 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 12: appears that Ray will either have to resign or face 404 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 12: being fired once President Trump takes office. Canadian President Justin 405 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 12: Trudeau back on the other side of the border this 406 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 12: morning after making a trip to meet with President le 407 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 12: Donald Trump at mar A Lago over the weekend. 408 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: The soon to be. 409 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 12: Forty seventh President's threat of a twenty five percent tariff 410 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 12: against our northern neighbor over illegal immigration and the flow 411 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 12: of fentnyl into the United States was all the motivation 412 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 12: Trudeau needed to open the lines of communication with the 413 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 12: incoming president, taking the true social Following the meeting, President 414 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 12: Trump writing quote, Prime Minister Trudeau has made a commitment 415 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 12: to work with us to end this terrible devastation of 416 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 12: US families.

Teddy Roosevelt was doing the bull Moose 479 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 10: Party after he was upset and the direction that William 480 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 10: Howard Taft went became president, Woodrow Wilson ushered in a 481 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 10: new philosophical contagion, you could call it a governmental virus 482 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 10: into the American body politic. 483 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: Woodrow Wilson believed. 484 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 10: That the form and the structure that the founding fathers 485 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 10: put forward, the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the 486 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 10: judicial branch, those three coink co equal branch of the 487 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 10: government with tension and with separation of powers. 488 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: That was an antiquated model. 489 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 10: Woodrow Wilson was the first president to vocally oppose and 490 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 10: to speak against the Founders and their intent for America. 491 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 10: He said, we need to bring in an usher in 492 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 10: a new way of governing. And that way he looked 493 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 10: at was very similar to a John Dewey and Hegelian 494 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 10: way of viewing history. But it was about creating bureaucracies 495 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 10: that were not necessarily accountable to the executive, accountable to 496 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 10: the legislative. But they're a council of experts, you see. 497 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 10: Woodrow Wilson, being a college professor himself, saw this as 498 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 10: an opportunity to be able to bring in the smart 499 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 10: people to run government. Cas Sunstein is a modern equivalent 500 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 10: as an inherent of this belief. So Woodrow Wilson set 501 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 10: up this one hundred year detour away from the Founder's 502 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 10: vision of government. Of the last one hundred years, we 503 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 10: have seen more federal agencies be formed. 504 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: Than Americans could list. 505 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 10: In fact, I'm helping out with the presidential transition team 506 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 10: wherever I'm needed, and I look at some of these agencies. 507 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: I've never heard of them before. 508 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 10: A riyra, you know, commissions and boards that you would 509 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 10: you were like, what do these people do all day long? 510 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 10: Why do you exist? What is your purpose? What is 511 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 10: your task? And they couldn't even tell you. Oh, our 512 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 10: purpose is to make sure the G BIP and the 513 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 10: D depth and the FT work together with the W 514 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 10: four like what. And it's all this acronym speak and 515 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 10: it merges together in a very very confusing way. But 516 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 10: more importantly, it's what the founders intended. This is what 517 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 10: we call the fourth branch of government. The fourth branch 518 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 10: of government is an unaccountable, unknown, unelected bureaucracy that is 519 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 10: against the will of the American people. And we are 520 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 10: going to see the greatest climax of that war started 521 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 10: with Woodrow Wilson come to fruition this coming administration. 522 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: The question is who is in charge of America? Is 523 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,760 Speaker 1: it the people or the bureaucrats? 524 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 10: Is it the American people that are sovereign or is 525 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 10: it this unelected ruling class, this career civil service that 526 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 10: runs the country. 527 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 1: Who is in charge? 528 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 10: Is the presidency a ceremonial role where you do ribbon cuttings, 529 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 10: Christmas parties, host Little League Baseball champions, bring the Super 530 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 10: Bowl winner over and smile. When the bureaucracy runs the government? 531 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: Or does it have teeth? Does it have real meaning 532 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:04,240 Speaker 1: in our country. 533 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 10: That is the open question in front of the country 534 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 10: right now, in front of what is going to happen 535 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 10: with this new Trump administration. The secret police of the 536 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 10: fourth branch of government is the FBI. The FBI is 537 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 10: the enforcement arm of the administrative state. 538 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 1: The FBI was never. 539 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 10: Actually chartered by Congress and started as a Bureau of 540 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 10: Investigation by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte and grew into now 541 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:43,320 Speaker 10: one of the most powerful organizations, one of the most 542 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 10: unconstitutional organizations. 543 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: In American history. 544 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 10: President Calvin Coolidge first appointed Jay Edgar Hoover to the 545 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 10: Bureau of Investigation. 546 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: In nineteen twenty four. J Edgar Hoover grew the Bureau. 547 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 10: Of Investigation into the leviathan that we know as the 548 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 10: FBI today. Jaker Hoover, you have to look at this guy, 549 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,520 Speaker 10: and I'm not going to get into some of the 550 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 10: alleged weird parts of his life which are not even 551 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 10: necessarily proven. 552 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: But it's interesting. 553 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 10: How did j Edgar Hoover survive as FBI director from 554 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 10: nineteen thirty five to nineteen seventy two. Think about that, 555 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 10: he was FBI director for thirty seven years. That is 556 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 10: not normal to be in charge of a country secret 557 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 10: police for thirty seven years. You better believe that he 558 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 10: had blackmail on almost every single elected leader, and that 559 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 10: was a strategy that he embraced. He served under FDR, 560 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 10: served under Truman, served under Dwight the Eisenhower, served under 561 00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 10: jfk served under Lynnam Bains Johnson, served under Richard Nixon. 562 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 10: Hoover expanded the FBI beyond just crime fighting, and he 563 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,280 Speaker 10: led the charge to make the FBI an intel agency. 564 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 1: The FBI has never. 565 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 10: And still to this day, does not have a congressional 566 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 10: mandate to collect intelligence on the American people. It has 567 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,400 Speaker 10: a mandate to enforce laws that are currently on the books. 568 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: And you can make a good. 569 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,760 Speaker 10: Argument why does the FBI even exist in the first place. 570 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 10: It was not part of the founder's vision to have 571 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 10: a standing red guard that could be deployed against political dissidence, 572 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,399 Speaker 10: which of course is what it does today. We all 573 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 10: saw the pictures during Floyda Palooza of FBI agents wearing masks, kneeling, 574 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:52,320 Speaker 10: of FBI agents marching in gay pride parades. The FBI 575 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 10: has become the muscle of the woke. The FBI was 576 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 10: once one of the finest fighting for against crime in 577 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 10: the seventies and eighties and even earlier than that, and 578 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 10: has turned into a disgusting, repulsive version of its former self. 579 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 10: President Trump appointing the very qualified Cash Ptel to become 580 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:20,280 Speaker 10: FBI director is an attempt to realign what the FBI 581 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 10: should be reporting directly to the President of the United States. 582 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 10: You see, the media believes the FBI should be its 583 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 10: own island. Can't touch it, can't see it. They rule themselves, 584 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 10: they govern themselves. No one can even ask questions of them. 585 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 10: They are They have superseding authority over the entire federal government. 586 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 10: This is MSNBC's reaction to Cash Patel becoming FBI director. 587 00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 10: Listen carefully to Tim Miller play cup thirty. 588 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,240 Speaker 1: Is there enough backbone there? Do you think to defeat 589 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:56,280 Speaker 1: multiple nominees. 590 00:35:57,640 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 14: I don't know. 591 00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: I think it's possible. 592 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 14: I look, we saw with McKee, and I think that 593 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 14: I was actually surprised how quick that leave that happened 594 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 14: to me. Cash Betel, and I don't say this lightly 595 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,239 Speaker 14: is the most dangerous, not an eedle you've seen yet 596 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,879 Speaker 14: to our democracy. And you might think that having Pete 597 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,520 Speaker 14: Heggs running the military, it's a greater level of danger 598 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 14: because of his lack of experience or Telsa Gabbart at intelligence. 599 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: But just as far as you know, the threats to 600 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 1: democracy that we were. 601 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,520 Speaker 14: Warning up about before the election, and Cash Betel was 602 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:31,400 Speaker 14: a key player inside the Trump White House pushing for 603 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 14: an orchestrating the coup attempt in twenty twenty. He was 604 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 14: trying to completely take control of the Justice Department at 605 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 14: the time. He was Trump's top lieutenant who was willing 606 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,279 Speaker 14: to do anything and advance any lie in service of 607 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 14: his attempt to overturn that last election. To such a 608 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 14: degree that there were many people that were Trump appointees 609 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,800 Speaker 14: in twenty twenty who were staying around and saying no, 610 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 14: like standing in the breach and saying no, not Cash Pattel, 611 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 14: Like you cannot put Cash Btel as a temporary leader 612 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 14: of the Justice Department, et cetera. These are Trump appointees, 613 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,800 Speaker 14: and so you know, I will see what happens in 614 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 14: the Senate. 615 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: But if Trump people. 616 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,840 Speaker 14: Around in the work quasi loyalists still were like that 617 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 14: guy's too far. 618 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: Who knows what that'll mean for the Senate. 619 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 10: Matt, Now, if you listen carefully, they're talking about the 620 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 10: independence of the FBI. 621 00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 1: Wait hold on. 622 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 10: Either the FBI falls under the President's jurisdiction or it 623 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 10: does not. The FBI should not operate as an intelligence 624 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 10: gathering service on the American people, which, by the way, 625 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,280 Speaker 10: is completely and totally unconstitutional. 626 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,320 Speaker 1: The FBI has used the Patriot. 627 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 10: Act to spy on your text messages, to look at 628 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 10: your emails, to go after completely innocent people, and be 629 00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 10: this massive information gathering service where our freedoms and our 630 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,960 Speaker 10: liberties evaporate. But more importantly, Cash Battel will reform the 631 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 10: FBI and say get out of DC and go. 632 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:01,799 Speaker 1: After child sex traffickers. 633 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,839 Speaker 10: Why are there thousands of FBI agents at desks every 634 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 10: single day? 635 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 1: What do they do? 636 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,320 Speaker 10: If you want to keep your badge, go into the field, 637 00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 10: find the bad guys.

Michael, 693 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 10: great to see you, Happy Cyber Monday. Tell us about 694 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 10: everything happening at Public Square. 695 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:32,560 Speaker 1: Good to see you too, Charlie. 696 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:32,879 Speaker 14: Well. 697 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 11: As we experienced a monumental and historic win on November fifth, 698 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 11: in the world of politics, we are also experiencing win 699 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 11: after win. In the economic space, there is a main 700 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:47,359 Speaker 11: street revival taking place. Small businesses across this country are 701 00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 11: being flooded with traffic and new consumers, as consumers are 702 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:56,880 Speaker 11: rejecting the mainstream retailers that they feel have really abused 703 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 11: them for a long time, lectured them about social issues, 704 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 11: and acted more like progressive political organizations rather than functioning companies. 705 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,879 Speaker 11: And so small businesses in America are feeling energized after 706 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 11: a Trump win which was desperately needed. And on Black 707 00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,319 Speaker 11: Friday they saw your support. On Small Business Saturday, they 708 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,800 Speaker 11: certainly did, and today on Cyber Monday as well, the 709 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:21,879 Speaker 11: small businesses of our great country deserve your support. We've 710 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,680 Speaker 11: got incredible deals on Public Square from businesses that are 711 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 11: made with clean ingredients, non toxic ingredients like I'll Pinya 712 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,799 Speaker 11: Labs that's phenomenal at home care and essentials. We've got 713 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 11: great meat from companies like Biltong Barron. We've got new 714 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,000 Speaker 11: watches if you're looking to buy a gift for a 715 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,840 Speaker 11: husband or a brother as you head into the Christmas 716 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 11: shopping season from brands like the two A Watch Company, Charlie. 717 00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,799 Speaker 11: There is a new renaissance era at our doorstep if 718 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,839 Speaker 11: we're willing to run into it. And I really sense 719 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 11: that over the past few months, the frustrations that consumers 720 00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,200 Speaker 11: have felt and the business owners have felt is now 721 00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:01,759 Speaker 11: starting to experience a little bit of a light and 722 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 11: tunnel as Trump won and as we're heading into what 723 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,799 Speaker 11: should be a very bright next four years for our 724 00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 11: small business economy. So all is good over here at 725 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 11: Public Square, and we're encouraging consumers to continue supporting businesses 726 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 11: that make the American community strong, and they can do 727 00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:18,719 Speaker 11: that at Public Square dot com. 728 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,240 Speaker 10: So we're seeing more and more brands reject DEI, like Walmart. 729 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 10: What do you think is behind that, Michael, You seem 730 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 10: to have been on the cutting edge of that for years. 731 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 11: Well, Charlie, I think it's twofold. Number one is that 732 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,120 Speaker 11: they have recognized the writing on the wall. Consumers do 733 00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,759 Speaker 11: not want to buy what they have been selling. So, 734 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:42,040 Speaker 11: whether that's Walmart's Harley Davidson, John Deere, targets, bud lights, 735 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 11: you're seeing brand after brand try to recover from their 736 00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,320 Speaker 11: disastrous choices they've made out of corporate boardrooms over the 737 00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:50,839 Speaker 11: past few years related to DEI and ESG. 738 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:53,800 Speaker 1: So in large part, it's because of you. It's the 739 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:54,879 Speaker 1: watchers of this show. 740 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,479 Speaker 11: It's you, Charlie, that have pushed back and have tried 741 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 11: to pull the alarm to alert folks of what's going 742 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 11: on in our economy. The other thing I would say 743 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,560 Speaker 11: is that I think the political wins of the past 744 00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 11: few weeks have also communicated a very loud message that 745 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 11: it's probably not ideal to go against the majority of 746 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 11: the country. Just like there was a clear mandate on 747 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 11: November fifth, with the win of not only the electoral 748 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:24,320 Speaker 11: college but also the popular vote. I think you're starting 749 00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,040 Speaker 11: to recognize a lot of companies seeing that there's an 750 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 11: overall zeitgeist happening right now, and if a company wants 751 00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:36,239 Speaker 11: to stay in good graces with the American consumer, they 752 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,400 Speaker 11: cannot continue to cater to a tiny, fringe majority or 753 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 11: minority of the country while the majority is actually wanting 754 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:47,239 Speaker 11: for these brands to embrace meritocracy again, excellence again, patriotism again. 755 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,160 Speaker 1: So I think it's twofold. 756 00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,839 Speaker 11: It's a little bit of a push from American consumers 757 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 11: that have made it clear through boycotts and through shifting 758 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,759 Speaker 11: their purchases. And I also think there's a writing on 759 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,200 Speaker 11: the wall displayed through our political environment that makes it 760 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,759 Speaker 11: clear to the Walmarts of the world that what they 761 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,359 Speaker 11: were embracing in twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, twenty twenty 762 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,239 Speaker 11: two is not popular with the American people, and it 763 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 11: took a wide cultural awakening through this election to finally 764 00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 11: communicate that loud and clear. 765 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,879 Speaker 1: Well said go to public Square dot com. Michael, thank 766 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 1: you so much.

Ron Paul really has 771 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,520 Speaker 10: been a pioneer for decades talking about the size and 772 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 10: scope of government and cutting spending.
