Let's not spoil it. Let's let him. Yeah, 134 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 16: I'll say that much traumatics. And then something happened or 135 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 16: is happening and we want to get ahead of it. 136 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 16: And then Erica Kirk and then we have Hillsdale Professor 137 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 16: Spaulding talking about what is an American? I think that's 138 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 16: appropriate given the fact that we are talking about birthright 139 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 16: citizenship yesterday, the Supreme Court is going to be hearing 140 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 16: that case. All right, so let's get let's just let's 141 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 16: just get out the gate real well here, Jasmine Crockett 142 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 16: has decided to run for Senate, and I feel obligated 143 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 16: to at least lead with this. You know, Jasmine Crockett 144 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 16: is a very fiery figure out of Texas. She has 145 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 16: risen to prominence by basically being flamboyantly aggressively, obnoxiously insensitive, 146 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 16: saying wild things, saying anti white things, anti Trump things, 147 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 16: anti conservative things. So let's just hear in her own words, 148 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 16: why she's announcing her run for Senate. 149 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 4: One one, there are a lot of people that said, 150 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 4: you got to stay in the house. We need our voice, 151 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 4: we need you there, and I understand, but what we 152 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 4: need is for me to have a bigger Voice's if. 153 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 6: That was, it's whatever do we have this? We played 154 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 6: it in the cold open. I saw like the best 155 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 6: part was is she uploaded a video to announce. That's 156 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 6: her just sitting there impassively while they play clips of 157 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 6: Donald Trump saying she's really stupid. 158 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 16: And well, this is what happens, right, I mean, if 159 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 16: you go after somebody, it actually raises their profile. Right, 160 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 16: It's the Barber Streisand effect. The Striissand effect is where 161 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 16: you know, I guess it goes back to where Streisand 162 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 16: wanted to keep her privacy intact, and then she ended 163 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 16: up fighting back against somebody taking you know, exposing her 164 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 16: home address, made see which made everybody see her her 165 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 16: home address, so it worked against her. So it's called 166 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 16: the Streisand effect. And you have this in politics, right. 167 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 16: Senator Mark Kelly says some crazy things that are you know, 168 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 16: eerily similar to a coup, a military coup, encouraging that subversion. 169 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 16: And guess what now he is in many new polls, 170 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 16: it's like Gavin Newsom. Mark Kelly is who the Democrats 171 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 16: think is the most viable candidate to run for president 172 00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 16: in twenty twenty eight. 173 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 6: She could be risky because I think I think Mark Kelly, 174 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 6: it would be more dangerous. Camp Well, I'm just sayinging 175 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 6: Crockett for example, exactly. But this is what we have. 176 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 16: Jasmine Crockett says, says all these crazy things, we say 177 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 16: she's crazy, and all of a sudden, that's all it 178 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 16: takes for her profile to be raised. 179 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 8: So let's pick our enemies very carefully here. 180 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 16: But in the case of Jasmin Crockett, I think this 181 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 16: is a good choice because she is so insane and 182 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 16: I think she's gonna have a heck of an uphill 183 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 16: battle in the state of Texas. 184 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 8: Let's play one eighty four. 185 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 16: This is her comparing herself to being the next Barack 186 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 16: Hussein Obama. 187 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 7: There was this charismatic, funny, intelligent, and exciting young candidate 188 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 7: with a funny name who just got into the US 189 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 7: Senate and was running for president. 190 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 4: Many doubted if this country. 191 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,599 Speaker 7: Was ready, while others, well, we got to work and 192 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 7: kept hope alive. 193 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: Yes we can. 194 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 4: Yes, I'm talking about President Barack Obama. 195 00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 8: She left out the Hussein Obama. 196 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 15: That's why. 197 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 6: Yeah's Charlie would always say it. I think always did it. Yeah, 198 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 6: it always imitated. It was an ode to it was 199 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 6: an olde to rush and of course narrator the country 200 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 6: was not ready for barackets and Obama, no, not. 201 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 8: Remote country was not. But but this is what's crazy. 202 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 16: She's so, she's so crazy that she We've got so 203 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 16: many great clips on Jasmine Crockett. 204 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 11: Uh. 205 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 16: And this is this is an interesting clip. This is 206 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 16: when she was saying she's open to ending tax on 207 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 16: black because she's in favor of reparations, but she admits 208 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 16: that many are not already paying taxes. 209 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 8: One's seventy six. 210 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 4: One of the things that they proposed is black folk 211 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 4: not have to pay taxes. And I was like, I 212 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,719 Speaker 4: don't know that that's not necessarily a bad idea. Then 213 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 4: you start dealing with the different tax brackets and things 214 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 4: like that. And that's one of the reasons that, you know, 215 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 4: we argue that reparations makes sense because so many black 216 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 4: folk not only do you owe for the labor that 217 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 4: was stolen and killed and all the other things, right, 218 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 4: but the fact is, like we end up being so 219 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 4: far behind right, and so it's like, how do you 220 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 4: bring for as people exactly? And so it's like if 221 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 4: you if you do the no text thing for people 222 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 4: that are already say struggling and aren't really paying taxes 223 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 4: in the first place. 224 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: It doesn't really exactly. 225 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 7: Maybe they may want those those checks like they got 226 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,359 Speaker 7: exert exactly. 227 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 16: So so that's her admitting that, you know, reparations is 228 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 16: a is a flawed endeavor to begin with. 229 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 8: We could, we could keep going. She says, she doesn't 230 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 8: need to win over Trump supporters to do this. 231 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 11: Now. 232 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 8: Trump carried Texas by fourteen points. 233 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 16: So if I'm just doing the math here, I gotta 234 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 16: I gotta question her logic here, Blake one seventy eight. 235 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 5: How will you convert those who are supportive of him 236 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 5: to voters for you? 237 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know that will necessarily convert all of 238 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 4: Trump supporters. 239 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: That's not our need to Our goal. 240 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 6: Is to definitely talk to people. No, we don't. We 241 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 6: don't need to gotta get some. You gotta gotta do 242 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 6: the So this is a good reason to be optimistic 243 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 6: because Jasmin Krack, one one of our opponents, is already 244 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 6: basically dropped out in response to this, decided let's pack 245 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 6: up and go home. But older people will remember a Canada, 246 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 6: I say, older people like it's ages ago, but it 247 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 6: was only about a decade ago. But there's been a 248 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 6: pattern Democrats are really addicted to the idea of flipping Texas. 249 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 6: It's kind of it's similar to how we'll often be 250 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 6: contacted by conservatives in California. They often dream of flipping 251 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 6: California red, the whole state, not just house districts, and 252 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 6: we often have to say we support you, we should 253 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 6: work as hard as we can, but it's not the 254 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 6: immediate priority now because it's difficult and expensive and we're 255 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 6: not close to doing it. Democrats do this a lot 256 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 6: with the state of Texas, where they get hyped up 257 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 6: that they're going to flip the state in a big 258 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 6: state wide race blue, and they spend tons of money 259 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 6: on it. So let's throw up a decade ago, we 260 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 6: had Wendy Davis. She gave a fillibuster speech on the 261 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 6: floor of I Believe the Texas State Senate over an 262 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 6: abortion bill, and so they made her a big national hero. 263 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 6: She got a ton of money. She ran for governor 264 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 6: and she got steamrolled massively by Governor Abbott. And then 265 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 6: they did it with Bata O'Rourke running for Senate. Bato 266 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,679 Speaker 6: got close, he got a lot of attention. Like any 267 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 6: free point, sir well, don't egg them on. Don't eg 268 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 6: them on here. The point is they spent a lot 269 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 6: of money on it, and that's probably why we got 270 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 6: Governor Ron de Santis. For example. If they'd taken that 271 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 6: money and rolled it over to Florida, we probably don't 272 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 6: wan that race. By man, it was under one hundred 273 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 6: thousand and thirty thousand votes or something like that. 274 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 16: Yeah, I mean listen, if they want to roll her 275 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 16: out there and see what they can get done, that's fine. 276 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 16: I hope they spend a lot of money on Jasmine. 277 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 16: I hope they spent so much money backing Jasmine Crockett. 278 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 16: If you could make one holiday wish, would you wish 279 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 16: to be free from your credit card another debt? I 280 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 16: think that would be a phenomenal a Christmas present to yourself. 281 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 16: So here's why now is the time to make a move. 282 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 16: This time of the year, credit card and loan companies 283 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 16: close out their books. They're clearing past two accounts and 284 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 16: selling off debt. That means if you have credit card 285 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 16: debt and unpaid bills, lenders may be more open to 286 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 16: negotiating and may actually have some leverage for you done 287 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 16: with debt. Knows exactly how to use it. They understand 288 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 16: the year end pressure and monitor lender trends so they 289 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 16: can jump in and negotiate hard on your behalf. Now's 290 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 16: the time to get out from under crushing debt without 291 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 16: bankruptcy or loans. Done with debt goes to work month 292 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 16: one with one goal reduce your total debt and leave 293 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 16: you with more money every month.

Why REFI refinances distressed 313 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 16: or defaulted private student loans that others will not touch. 314 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 16: Because of private student loan debt, many Americans feel stuck 315 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 16: and helpless. They've even lost hope. Why Refi gives you 316 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 16: a light at the end of the tunnel.

And here's also 323 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 16: the other key. They are patriots. They are good people. 324 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 16: They support Turning Point, you'll say, they support this show 325 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 16: and they share your value, so you can trust them. 326 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 16: Go to yrefi dot com, yrefi dot com or eight 327 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 16: eight eight y REFI thirty four. 328 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:26,719 Speaker 8: We will welcome back radio in just two seconds.

Senior Trump advisors are telling GOP donors 334 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 16: that a pair of upcoming Supreme Court decisions are likely 335 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 16: to bolster Republicans in the twenty twenty six midterms and 336 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 16: transform the party's power to win elections for years. So 337 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 16: this is coming straight from Chris Lasovida, Tony Fabrizio, which 338 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 16: are top Trump lieutenants, and they are talking about this 339 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 16: case Louisiana versus I think it's pronounced kalais. I would 340 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 16: think Calais, Calais, calais whatever. So Louisiana, the Calais. 341 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 6: It's a French name, and then when they're in Louisiana 342 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 6: a long time, they start pronouncing it differently. That's how 343 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 6: we got Brett Far of all. 344 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 8: That Favre Far. 345 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 16: So what this is is it's about a very i 346 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 16: would say, kind of long standing precedent. Now it goes 347 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 16: back to the Voting Rights Act, Section two, the Voting 348 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 16: Rights Act, which came in nineteen sixty five, and what 349 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 16: that section does is it prohibits the dilution of minority 350 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 16: voting power in congressional redistricting plans. So what this does 351 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 16: in practice is it will take a district that is 352 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 16: or it will create a district that is a majority 353 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 16: minority district. So if you have a predominant black community 354 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 16: in Louisiana, for example, and this is where this case 355 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 16: goes down to, they will design a district to give 356 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 16: a black community a representative for the black community. In 357 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 16: the case of Louisiana, they have two predominantly black congressional districts. 358 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a recent court rule. Se Well, this 359 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 6: is one of these very mutant looking. 360 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 8: It's very mutant looking. 361 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 16: But what this what it's supposed to be doing, is, 362 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 16: at least in theory, they will argue that this is 363 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 16: what allows them to have equal representation, so that black 364 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 16: voters in the South specifically will have black representatives. Right, 365 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 16: but it is being challenged as racist. Now, why this 366 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 16: is key is because Section two of the Voting Rights Act, 367 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 16: the core provision that protects against racially discriminated, discriminatory voting maps. 368 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 16: That's how they would put it the left. If struck down, 369 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 16: it would be the significant, most significant rollback of this 370 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 16: Voting Rights Act since what they say, Shelby County versus 371 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 16: Holder in twenty thirteen. But here's what else is This 372 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 16: is what's crazy is that this could at least it 373 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 16: could flip nineteen seats up to up to so that's 374 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 16: nineteen congressional seats. 375 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 8: And this the left is warning about this. 376 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 16: They're writing white papers on this, publishing these things, and 377 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 16: they are saying that if you add that to some 378 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 16: of these congressional redistricting fights that we're having in Indiana 379 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 16: and we're having a Missouri, in Florida and Ohio, that 380 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 16: could total up. 381 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 8: To twenty seven seats going in our direction. 382 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 16: And that's not even counting I believe Texas, which has 383 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 16: already now done it, and we had that that's ex well. 384 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 6: Might that might reduce the total I think is okay. 385 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 8: But here's here's the point. 386 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 16: Nineteen seats, especially in the South, are connected to this 387 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 16: nineteen sixty five Voting Rights Act Section two, which is 388 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 16: making jerrymandered seats for majority minority districts. 389 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 6: Now, you have to be careful because I always have 390 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 6: to have the caveat here, which is there are a 391 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 6: lot of seats in blue states that exist this way 392 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 6: as well, where because of Section two, they say, okay, 393 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 6: here in Chicago, for example, you need to make this 394 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 6: giant like there's actually infamous districts in Chicago where they 395 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 6: have this all black district and then they have the 396 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 6: Hispanic district that surrounds it. Kind of like a pair 397 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 6: of earmuffs is famously what it looks like. And so 398 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 6: Democrat states do create this as well, so that could 399 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 6: mitigate it. The big picture thing is we've had this 400 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 6: very artificial approach to our house maps that was imposed 401 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 6: a half century ago for an understandable purpose, which is 402 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 6: that we had the Jim Crow system that really did 403 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 6: deny Black Americans the right to vote, and you could 404 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 6: argue you needed some sort of harsh measure to break that. 405 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 6: That's why we abolish the poll tax, that's why we 406 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 6: abolish some of the literacy tests that they used. And 407 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 6: we're famously rigged against Black Americans. But a half century on, 408 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 6: Black Americans have the same voting rights, voting rights, and 409 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 6: voting rates as Why Americans. They are not being denied 410 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 6: the right to vote. Instead, this is always a cudgel 411 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 6: that is just used to deliver the left political wins. Oh, 412 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 6: we can't have basic voter ID because actually that's a 413 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 6: way to bring back Jim Crow. And similar here, you 414 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 6: can't have a house map decided democratically at your state level, 415 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 6: because we've had a court order how you're going to 416 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 6: draw it, and it never applies to Democrats. Of course, 417 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 6: Democrats are actually totally allowed to jerrymander however they want 418 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 6: because they're doing it for political reasons, so racist reasons. 419 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 16: Yeah, But here's what I would say. The liberal leaning 420 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 16: Fair Fight Action Group is freaking out about this. They 421 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 16: are freaking out about this, and they and they are 422 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,959 Speaker 16: admitting that this, if this is overturned, it will benefit 423 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 16: us much more. 424 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 8: And here's the key. 425 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 16: Oral arguments are heard Tuesday, which is today, so for 426 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 16: this case in which the Justice will decide whether to 427 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 16: eliminate the federal law. 428 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 8: And so so that's that's a big it's a big. 429 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 15: Uh. 430 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 6: It's a big to see if it helps us, because 431 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,920 Speaker 6: they have to decide it soon enough, otherwise we can't draw. 432 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 16: So if they do it, twenty twenty eight could help us. Yet, 433 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 16: if they do it quick enough, it'll impact twenty twenty six. 434 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 16: If they don't twenty twenty eight for sure. Back, we 435 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 16: got a Utah Valley story that you're gonna want to hear. 436 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 15: Agreet that. 437 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 17: Welcome back to this real America's Voice News breakout, Terrence 438 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 17: bads the details for the upcoming National Defense Authorization Actor out. 439 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 17: The nearly nine hundred billion dollar measure is about eight 440 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 17: billion dollars more than what President Trump was calling for. 441 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 17: Some of that funding could also go towards production of 442 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 17: naval defense and weapons systems.

At the galley, you said a few words, 527 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 16: why don't we start there before we get into this story. 528 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 16: We've got ten minutes in this segment. Tell us about 529 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 16: the chapter in the aftermath of what happened to Charlie there, 530 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 16: and tell us how are you doing? 531 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 8: How is the chapter doing, how the student's doing? 532 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 19: Yeah, it's been honestly incredible. Our chapter was a small 533 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 19: probably a goot one hundred active members. I would get 534 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 19: about twenty people maximum per event, but then after Charlie's death, 535 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 19: we've just seen an explosion in activity. The campus website 536 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 19: says we now ever have four hundred members ari Instagram 537 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 19: has gotten over five thousand plus followers, and our events 538 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 19: average forty plus people, so we've more than doubled our events. 539 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 8: That's phenomenal. 540 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 16: And how are the students doing, though, I mean, you 541 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 16: know some of what Yeah, some of you guys, I 542 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 16: mean you were the last students to get pictures with Charlie. 543 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 11: I mean. 544 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 16: Just I mean, it was incredibly traumatic. It's still traumatic 545 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 16: for so many of us. And you know, I just 546 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 16: I have worried about some of you guys at the 547 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 16: campus level there because it was, I mean, an unthinkable 548 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 16: thing happened right. 549 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 11: In front of you. 550 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 15: Yeah, thankfully. Yeah, the students have been doing really well. 551 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 19: The UVE did off of free mental health services and 552 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 19: other facilities kind of help us out deal and process 553 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 19: what we all witnessed. But the students they're fired up. 554 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 19: My students, they're ready to keep muching forward. Our chapter 555 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 19: is becoming a stronghold and it's going to be a 556 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 19: legacy that is going to lost a lifetime. 557 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, wonderful. 558 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 16: Well, and talking about legacies that are going to last 559 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 16: a lifetime. So as soon as this happened with Charlie, 560 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 16: there was talk of a Charlie Kirk memorial on campus, 561 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 16: and unfortunately that is now coming into question. Let's go 562 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 16: ahead and play this cut really quick to fourteen. 563 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 6: When the campus comes together, that's where I want to 564 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 6: memorialize that. 565 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 19: I want to memorialize campus coming together as one student 566 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 19: body in the face of this great tragedy. You want 567 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 19: a memorial for unity, Yes, exactly, because Unity died on 568 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 19: September tenth, not Charlie Kirk. 569 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 16: Yes, okay, so they instead of a Charlie Kirk memorial, 570 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 16: they want a Unity memorial. 571 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,360 Speaker 8: Blake, Does that make any sense at all? 572 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 6: I guess we'll we'll have unity between you know, the 573 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 6: side that was fired upon and the side that fired 574 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 6: I suppose. 575 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 16: Yeah, please help make sense for this. What is actually 576 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 16: happening on campus? And is this Unity memorial in place 577 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,480 Speaker 16: of a Charlie Kirk memorial actually actually gaining any traction here? 578 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 19: Caleb, I'm not too sure about that, to be honest. 579 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 19: This is definitely a case of the loud minority versus 580 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 19: the silent majority. I haven't met a single student, and 581 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 19: we talked to one hundreds of students each week who 582 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,920 Speaker 19: want a unity memorial. Everyone I've talked to, you want 583 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 19: something to honor Charlie that under what he stood for. 584 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 19: And so yeah, it's just this small, very small, but 585 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 19: super loud voices that oh what we're hearing right now 586 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 19: across the country and the campus. 587 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 16: Well, I mean, but don't they realize that this would 588 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 16: be bearing the truth of what really happened. I mean, 589 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 16: this would be a disgrace to the tragedy that unfolded 590 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 16: at that campus to call it anything other than Charlie 591 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 16: Kirk Memorial. And you know it's cannot say this enough. 592 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 16: An indoctrinated leftist murdered Charlie Kirk in cold blood in 593 00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 16: front of all of us. There's no unity with that. 594 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 16: And Charlie gave his life for free speech for this country. 595 00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 16: I just I can't think of anything more insulting than 596 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 16: taking Charlie's name off of a memorial and putting in 597 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 16: its place some left wing, deranged unity project or whatever 598 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 16: that is. So, Caleb, are you telling us that this 599 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 16: is not gaining any real traction? If you talked to 600 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 16: the administration, Have you talked to anybody at the school 601 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 16: that has any authority over this? 602 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 19: Yeah, I've talked to a couple of the people on 603 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 19: the memorial committee. Thankfully, it's very reassuring that about ninety 604 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 19: percent of them have come to me and told me 605 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 19: they are huge Charlie Kirk fans. They loved what he 606 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 19: stood for, they loved the message that he preachers. So 607 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 19: if that gives me some hope, But the real issue 608 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 19: for me is that it's just there's no traction. The 609 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 19: last I heard was about a month ago where they 610 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 19: took a tour of the courtyard and the next time 611 00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 19: the meeting to discuss the memorial is going to be 612 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 19: sometime in Anuary. So the process is taken very very slowly. 613 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 19: But from what I've seen the people who are constructing 614 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 19: this memorial, we're. 615 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 6: In good hands. That's good. Do you do you just 616 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 6: worry that pushing it back. The goal is to just 617 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 6: you know, the process is the punishment to lay it out, 618 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 6: keep it from happening. And yeah, that's what I'm worried 619 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,719 Speaker 6: about that. You know, if you can push it out long, 620 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 6: the people who are directly affected have graduated them. 621 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 16: Yeah, the further away from the event that you get, 622 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 16: the more leverage they're going to have. If if the 623 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,719 Speaker 16: if there is some sort of slow walk attempt going here, 624 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 16: and that is that is. 625 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 19: One of my biggest concerns is that with how long 626 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 19: this process is taking, that the people who are fired 627 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 19: up who want to on the Charlie the right way, 628 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,600 Speaker 19: because of how long it take this is taking, the 629 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 19: voices are going to die down and these this loud minority, 630 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 19: They're just going to get people getting louder, and I 631 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 19: fear that that's going to influence the the committee. 632 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 6: So what I've been trying to do is kind of. 633 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,560 Speaker 19: Be a I guess whispering whispering, and is just to 634 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 19: make sure they're still in the right direction and that 635 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 19: they're not going to on a Charlie's name in a 636 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 19: very underwhelming way. 637 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 16: Yeah, and I'm glad you're doing that, Caleb, And you 638 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 16: got to let us know if we need to do 639 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 16: anything to help spread the word there, because if they 640 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 16: do this, it will be one of the If they 641 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 16: attempt it in any serious form, it is going to 642 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:24,239 Speaker 16: be an outrage of epic proportions, and we will absolutely 643 00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 16: get loud because I would say the least that this 644 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 16: campus could do or should do for the biggest, highest 645 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 16: profile political assassination since the nineteen sixties in this country 646 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 16: is to at least memorialize it properly with the actual 647 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 16: person whose life was lost and taken. 648 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 11: I don't know. 649 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 6: Yeah, actually, can you describe, do you know? Assuming they 650 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 6: don't sabotage it, is there a concrete vision for what 651 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 6: it might look like that we can anticipate not yet. 652 00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 19: I know one of the memorial convenient members is a 653 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 19: Utah senator of Senator McKay. He proposed a bench with 654 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 19: a Bible and a microphone on it with Charlie's initials 655 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 19: on that. But other people really want a statue of Charlie, 656 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,320 Speaker 19: a bust of Charlie, a plaque, like literally anything, and 657 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 19: we've heard nothing, We've had had no concrete plans. 658 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 16: Right now, you know what it should be. Here's here's 659 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,759 Speaker 16: my vote, just thrown out an idea here. Erica loves 660 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 16: this picture too. If Charlie throwing out that hat that 661 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 16: day she posted it with the freedom shirt and the 662 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,360 Speaker 16: hat coming out of his hand right where he did that, 663 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 16: that would. 664 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,880 Speaker 6: Be a good that that would happen. I would be 665 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 6: torn between that and him, you know at the table 666 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 6: proved wrong with the phone in hand. That would be 667 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 6: good to debate both both would be a very good 668 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 6: to me. 669 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:44,839 Speaker 15: Yeah. 670 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 16: So Senator Mike Lee from the Great State of Utah 671 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,320 Speaker 16: has chimed in here. He says creating a memorial to 672 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 16: unity at UVU instead of a memorial to Charlie Kirk 673 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 16: would insault Charlie's memory, family and supporters one thousand percent agree. 674 00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 16: It also downplayed Charlie's legacy and ignore what led to 675 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,000 Speaker 16: his assassination. The supposed call for unity comes across as 676 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 16: hollow and manipultive. I would say, just really gross, and yeah, 677 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 16: we're not gonna fall for it. So I would say, 678 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:11,920 Speaker 16: keep us posted on this, Caleb, as soon as you 679 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 16: hear stuff, please let us know.

Uh, things like 691 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,760 Speaker 19: this that happened in our country, and it's just motivated 692 00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 19: me more to preach the right message across tonally campus 693 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 19: is but across the world. I'm yeah, I'm fine enough 694 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:06,720 Speaker 19: and I don't think this fog. 695 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 6: Is going to die anytime soon. 696 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 16: That's great, and we're hearing that by the way, across 697 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 16: the country, just so everybody's aware.

The Starbucks barista, the 751 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 6: guys in the security line, the random people in the 752 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 6: airport lounge, just one thing after another. 753 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 13: It was. 754 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 6: It was just constant. In the parking lot of this 755 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 6: gas station, people were recognizing him and I just I 756 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 6: did not anticipate that. 757 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 16: I remember we had we had a what was her name, 758 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 16: the German representative woman, Yeah, ad Yeah, and she was 759 00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:27,719 Speaker 16: I remember in the breaks, she was so nervous to 760 00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 16: talk to try she couldn't believe she was on the 761 00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,360 Speaker 16: Charliekirk Show. Because Charlie was such a big deal for 762 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,520 Speaker 16: the conservatives in Germany and the French girls at the 763 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 16: RNC that couldn't wait to take a selfie with Charles. 764 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,240 Speaker 6: One of the most important reasons we can't let ourselves 765 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 6: get blackpill. You quickly realize how much every other conservative 766 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 6: on planet Earth looks towards American conservatism because it's where 767 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 6: we're vital. We're coming up with new ideas. We're aggressive, 768 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,640 Speaker 6: we're energetic. You can do things in America, and people 769 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 6: love that you can do things in America. 770 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:57,799 Speaker 8: You can just do things. You can just do things. 771 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,960 Speaker 8: I think we need to hit this, Jeremy carl in 772 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,840 Speaker 8: the next seas do that. Let's do that. 773 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,200 Speaker 16: Trump's been raging that he can't get any of his 774 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 16: appointees through, and I think he's one right. 775 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 8: We need to apply some pressure. 776 00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:29,280 Speaker 11: We'll be right back, all. 777 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,879 Speaker 8: Right, Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show. 778 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 16: There's a hot mic moment that is going around and 779 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:34,640 Speaker 16: it's making waves on social media. Let's go ahead and 780 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 16: play it from President Trump hot mic one eight five. 781 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 15: You know I can't. 782 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 19: I can't appoint everybody's expired. 783 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,759 Speaker 14: And then. 784 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,040 Speaker 16: So if you couldn't hear what he said, he says, 785 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 16: you know, I can't appoint anybody. Every everybody I've appointed, 786 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,880 Speaker 16: their time is expired, then they're in defil Then we're losing, 787 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 16: Like explain this, Yeah, it's. 788 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,560 Speaker 6: It's what we were complaining about with Charlie actually just 789 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 6: going into this fall, that there's so many nominees to 790 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,759 Speaker 6: important positions, that there's so many appointees in general in 791 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 6: the federal government. I think there's several thousand people at 792 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 6: this point who are supposed to be directly appointed by 793 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 6: the president. Start with the Secretary, is the Undersecretary, is 794 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,839 Speaker 6: the Assistant under just keeps going down, all the ambassadors, 795 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,800 Speaker 6: and I think in that specific clip, Trump was complaining 796 00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 6: about his US attorney nominations. A lot of those have 797 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 6: been sat on, so he has. 798 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:33,160 Speaker 8: What's behind that. 799 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,839 Speaker 6: I think in a lot of those cases, I think 800 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 6: Congress specifically dislikes some of the picks and so they 801 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,080 Speaker 6: wish Trump would pick somebody else. So, yes, it's all 802 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 6: of these are Senate confirmed. The House doesn't vote on 803 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 6: these things. The Senate wants somebody else, so they're pouting 804 00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,719 Speaker 6: and sitting on them. I think there's a lot of 805 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 6: that going on, and it's causing problems because there's a 806 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,400 Speaker 6: limit to how long a person can serve temporarily. The 807 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,920 Speaker 6: Trump administration has they've tried to come up with some 808 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 6: legal manoeuvers around them, and courts have generally been striking 809 00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:04,320 Speaker 6: that down. I won't get into all of that, but 810 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 6: bigger picture, when this clip came out, you and I 811 00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 6: were talking, there's so many positions that have gone unfilled 812 00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:16,320 Speaker 6: where they've started to accelerate them, where they started to 813 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,319 Speaker 6: do those block votes on nominees this fall, yet there's 814 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 6: still hundreds of people and so the example you and 815 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,880 Speaker 6: I were talking about was Jeremy carl author of the 816 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,160 Speaker 6: Unprotected Class. 817 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 8: Was Charlie's show. 818 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,440 Speaker 6: Charlie loved him. He was really excited to get him 819 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 6: into the admin. This is one of the nominations he 820 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,320 Speaker 6: really personally fought for. I believe he was nominated to 821 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,719 Speaker 6: be Assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations. I'm I 822 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,919 Speaker 6: think he'd probably end up working with Undersecretary Sarah Rodgers, 823 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 6: who we had on this show, and she only she's 824 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 6: took forever to get in. She was nominated I think 825 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 6: in February, and we got pat hearing in April, only 826 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 6: got confirmed in October. There's way too much of this. 827 00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 6: There's no excuse for us to have a Republican Senate 828 00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 6: with a Republican president with a time limit of four 829 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 6: total years where you're guaranteed to have power two total years, 830 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 6: where you're guaranteed to have a Senate that can confirm people, 831 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,240 Speaker 6: and to just be sitting on nominations. I am sorry, 832 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:12,880 Speaker 6: ram them through absolutely. 833 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,239 Speaker 16: And by the way, this blue slip thing, which is 834 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 16: actually what that hot hot mic moment was about, I mean, 835 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 16: Charlie leveled into the US Senate and listen, we like 836 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,840 Speaker 16: Chuck Grassley, but I mean, what's chuck. Chuck Grassey is 837 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:33,360 Speaker 16: like late eighties, formidable figure. He is a very like 838 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,960 Speaker 16: We respect Chuck Grassley. Look, he's a great American what 839 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,120 Speaker 16: ninety two, But we are playing in a whole different 840 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:47,239 Speaker 16: reality than what Chuck Grassley's probably his memory the world 841 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,399 Speaker 16: that formed him is long gone. 842 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:53,800 Speaker 6: The world has changed. The Left has gotten incredibly aggressive 843 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,360 Speaker 6: and expansive about what they would like to do. The 844 00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:00,400 Speaker 6: bare minimum we can do is allow the person America 845 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,520 Speaker 6: elected to stop this to have his dudes well. And 846 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 6: by the way, the Admin. 847 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 16: JD said this, he said, we cannot keep electing politicians 848 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,799 Speaker 16: that are promising policies on immigration, for example, and then 849 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 16: saying that the judges are just going to overturn this. 850 00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 16: You cannot do that over and over again without the 851 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 16: people eventually becoming quite radicalized. What the people want, the 852 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 16: people get when the people elect people like President Trump 853 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,879 Speaker 16: and JD vance to fix our border issues, to fix 854 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,960 Speaker 16: our immigration issues, or whatever, law and order, and then 855 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:37,120 Speaker 16: constantly this is getting sidetracked because we can't get appointees 856 00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,240 Speaker 16: through or whatever because of a blue slip antiquated process 857 00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 16: which is supposed to be gentlemanly and a collegial within 858 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 16: the US Senate. When they are when they are weaponizing 859 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 16: old traditions where there's no rule, there's no constitutional order, 860 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 16: no politic slips. It's literally just a tradition. And that 861 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 16: is getting in the way. Why this is so important 862 00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,840 Speaker 16: and and we're just talking with the chapter President UVU, 863 00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,359 Speaker 16: and I'm thinking about Charlie right now. 864 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:07,440 Speaker 8: Charlie left it all out on the field, literally. 865 00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,800 Speaker 16: And physically and in every conceivable way to get President 866 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,400 Speaker 16: Trump elected, to get majorities in the House and in 867 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 16: the Senate. We have that, we have what we work 868 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:22,160 Speaker 16: so hard for, and for that to get then sidetracked 869 00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:26,600 Speaker 16: and postponed, delayed, or completely blocked because we run out 870 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,560 Speaker 16: of time. Is an insult to everything that we did 871 00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 16: the lead up to twenty twenty four, and it's an 872 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 16: insult insult to self defeating. 873 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,760 Speaker 6: If we lose next year, one of the biggest factors 874 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,359 Speaker 6: will be didn't confirm enough people, didn't get enough things done, 875 00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 6: didn't fulfill enough of the promises. 876 00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,719 Speaker 16: Absolutely unacceptable that this is still getting in the way. 877 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,600 Speaker 16: Abolish the blue slip. It's time we are not dealing 878 00:46:48,719 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 16: with a good finished blue slip.

He joins US Live right now with an update. Brian, 914 00:49:02,880 --> 00:49:05,319 Speaker 17: it seems to me that this is a situation where 915 00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,799 Speaker 17: the Trump administration has touted the prices are coming down, 916 00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:10,960 Speaker 17: but many Americans just don't feel it. 917 00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:15,640 Speaker 20: Yeah, that's right, Terrence. President Trump, you know, inherited a 918 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:20,360 Speaker 20: double digit inflation across the board, every product, goods, service 919 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,280 Speaker 20: was well into eighteen nineteen, even twenty percent. 920 00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:26,880 Speaker 1: So taking over from day one was a goal of 921 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:28,919 Speaker 1: reducing that inflation area. 922 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,040 Speaker 20: And he had done such a quite quite good job 923 00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:36,280 Speaker 20: on eggs and electricity and gas, and it makes things. 924 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,359 Speaker 8: A little bit more affordable. But there is still a pretty. 925 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 15: Large task ahead. That's why he's taken on. 926 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:45,399 Speaker 20: The road starting today, going over to the Poconos area 927 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,840 Speaker 20: and a key swing district. What's interesting about this district 928 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,719 Speaker 20: is a Republican that just won, he's a freshman now, 929 00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,520 Speaker 20: won by about one point five percent, and there's an 930 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,960 Speaker 20: adjacent swing district next to that as well that is 931 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,120 Speaker 20: going to be very crucial coming up in this midterm 932 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,000 Speaker 20: election to keep the majority in the House and keep 933 00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:08,719 Speaker 20: those districts that are read right now remain read. But 934 00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:13,080 Speaker 20: his focus is on the economy. Understands how some Americans 935 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,719 Speaker 20: are obviously suffering. Not everything has come down since the 936 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:21,279 Speaker 20: Biden regime, but President Trump tackling affordability and the cost 937 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,040 Speaker 20: of living head on starting today. 938 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:25,920 Speaker 17: Brian is the White House already saying where else the 939 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,800 Speaker 17: President plans to go in order to push his message? 940 00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,040 Speaker 1: Push his message. 941 00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,840 Speaker 15: Excuse me, that's a great question. I know. 942 00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:38,439 Speaker 20: Ceze Wilds was on a podcast yesterday indicating that coming 943 00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 20: up next year, President Trump's going to take this message 944 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,440 Speaker 20: on the road, kind of like a mini rally, if 945 00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:47,920 Speaker 20: you will, to inspire some of these key districts, these 946 00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,400 Speaker 20: keys areas around the country to get. 947 00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,440 Speaker 15: On board and understand the message. It's all about messaging 948 00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:53,960 Speaker 15: right now. 949 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,640 Speaker 20: And we know that some of these policies in place, 950 00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,840 Speaker 20: the terar if deals that are bring manufacturing back to 951 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:03,360 Speaker 20: this country is crucial. Now that could take a little 952 00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,120 Speaker 20: bit to unfold, but in the meantime, some of these 953 00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:09,920 Speaker 20: temporary reduction and the cost of goods services, things like 954 00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,719 Speaker 20: that will continue into the midterms. But he's going to 955 00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,359 Speaker 20: go around the country with this hard messaging. He may 956 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,560 Speaker 20: not be on the ballot, but the Republican Party is, 957 00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,759 Speaker 20: and that's what he's going to help ensure in the 958 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:23,200 Speaker 20: twenty twenty six midterms. 959 00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:24,120 Speaker 8: And Brian in. 960 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,880 Speaker 17: Thirty seconds, this issue of affordability is going to be 961 00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,760 Speaker 17: a critical issue for all Republican candidates moving towards the midterms. 962 00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:32,279 Speaker 8: It really is. 963 00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:35,239 Speaker 15: And there's things on the books right now. And I'm 964 00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:35,880 Speaker 15: going to say. 965 00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,960 Speaker 20: Into the previous segment and to the Charlie Kirk Show, 966 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,000 Speaker 20: there are things sitting on the Speaker's desk as we 967 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,880 Speaker 20: speak that would make things much more affordable. 968 00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,200 Speaker 15: Bring on the costs of goods and services. 969 00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 1: We need those. 970 00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:52,040 Speaker 20: Bills put on the floor for a vote to codify 971 00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:53,919 Speaker 20: President Trump's executive orders. 972 00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:54,839 Speaker 8: That is key. 973 00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,680 Speaker 20: So if Republican wins an election, that's one thing, but 974 00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,240 Speaker 20: you got to follow through with the and that starts 975 00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,719 Speaker 20: with accountability, and it starts there in the House of Representatives. 976 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:07,360 Speaker 17: Brian Gland reporting in Washington for US Today. 977 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,719 Speaker 8: All right, welcome to our two of the Charlie Kirk Show. 978 00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,920 Speaker 16: Blake, this is the I think the moment everybody's been 979 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,080 Speaker 16: waiting for today and that's because of course we have 980 00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:37,920 Speaker 16: Erica Kirk on the show.

The 1038 00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,840 Speaker 5: whole team knows this. Being in politics and just in 1039 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,719 Speaker 5: a total echo chamber, and then also just dealing with 1040 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:23,600 Speaker 5: real world issues, and then also just dealing with even 1041 00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,680 Speaker 5: personal life issues. All of those three combined become this 1042 00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:31,080 Speaker 5: absolute trifecta of this weight on you where you're just like, 1043 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,680 Speaker 5: can I just have a second to breathe? I just 1044 00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:35,040 Speaker 5: need a second to breathe. 1045 00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:36,200 Speaker 8: And that's what this is. 1046 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:39,719 Speaker 5: It has nothing to do with running away, it has 1047 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,680 Speaker 5: nothing to do with take it's literally taking a pause 1048 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,840 Speaker 5: so you can lay out and map out. Okay, pause 1049 00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,000 Speaker 5: the noise for a second, Just stop the noise for 1050 00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:51,759 Speaker 5: a second. What truly matters? Have people pour into you, 1051 00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 5: have some alone time with the Lord, spend some time 1052 00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,840 Speaker 5: with your family, have a beautiful meal with your family 1053 00:55:57,960 --> 00:56:00,640 Speaker 5: on whatever day you choose to do. It does not 1054 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,640 Speaker 5: have to be a Friday, does not have to be 1055 00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:06,040 Speaker 5: a Sunday. It doesn't even have to be a Wednesday. 1056 00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:07,120 Speaker 11: You can choose that. 1057 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:08,280 Speaker 6: That's what's so beautiful. 1058 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,399 Speaker 5: Charlie was not legalistic about the Sabbath. He was saying, 1059 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,000 Speaker 5: please just take the time to be just set aside, 1060 00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 5: to be alone with the Lord, to be able to pray, 1061 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,600 Speaker 5: to be able to just even journal. How Charlie loved 1062 00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:23,080 Speaker 5: a journal. He left hundreds of his journals, and that 1063 00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,680 Speaker 5: to him was just so cathartic to be able to 1064 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:29,120 Speaker 5: just write out what he was grateful for, you know, 1065 00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,480 Speaker 5: even just I don't know when He would go for 1066 00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,640 Speaker 5: a walk and he would just would have ideas that 1067 00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:34,239 Speaker 5: came to him. 1068 00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:34,839 Speaker 8: For his show. 1069 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:37,960 Speaker 5: He just really took the time to think, you know what, 1070 00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,879 Speaker 5: this worked for me because it helped me from burning out. 1071 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,120 Speaker 5: And that was a superpower for him. People would say, 1072 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,239 Speaker 5: how do you do this? How do you operate? And 1073 00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:51,440 Speaker 5: he would always say, I get He would get eight hours, 1074 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 5: eight to ten hours of sleep a night if he 1075 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,480 Speaker 5: could when he was at home. But not only that, 1076 00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 5: he made sure that if he kept this page and 1077 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,359 Speaker 5: rhythm of giving himself a break, he wouldn't burn out 1078 00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:05,959 Speaker 5: like many other people because they thought it was cool 1079 00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,400 Speaker 5: to pull all nighters. Actually it's not, and it's not 1080 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,400 Speaker 5: good for your brain health either. But he felt like 1081 00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,680 Speaker 5: he found that ultimate secret and the ultimate hack as 1082 00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:16,440 Speaker 5: an entrepreneur and wanted everyone else to be in on 1083 00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,520 Speaker 5: them on that can. 1084 00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:22,080 Speaker 16: I just read this section that hit me so hard 1085 00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:24,440 Speaker 16: last night as I was as I was reading. 1086 00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,400 Speaker 8: This book, he says, it's such a good book, and 1087 00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,000 Speaker 8: it's so good. It's like so good. 1088 00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 16: I think it's there's just something about I just God 1089 00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:35,680 Speaker 16: has a plan and you just sometimes have to. 1090 00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,840 Speaker 5: But the depth and level of the theology in here 1091 00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,000 Speaker 5: is unbelievable. 1092 00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:45,280 Speaker 16: Yeah, he really took I mean, I'm telling you, Resting 1093 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,200 Speaker 16: for Charlie took him to the next level. 1094 00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:49,160 Speaker 8: And here's what Here's what he said. 1095 00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:54,920 Speaker 16: To stop, utterly, decisively, rhythmically is perhaps the most radical 1096 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 16: command God ever gave humanity. In a world governed by 1097 00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:02,520 Speaker 16: unrelenting drive, by the mantras of faster, harder, and more, 1098 00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:11,439 Speaker 16: the divine voice says something astonishing. Stop in his name, cease, cease, striving, cease, earning, cease, 1099 00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,320 Speaker 16: proving cease, buying and selling and producing. This is not 1100 00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:19,320 Speaker 16: a suggestion, It is a divine imperative. What did you 1101 00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:23,200 Speaker 16: notice when Charlie really put this into practice? Because I 1102 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:26,520 Speaker 16: have my own stories, but what did you see in Charlie. 1103 00:58:29,240 --> 00:58:32,080 Speaker 5: He I mean, he was already amazing husband to me, 1104 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:39,960 Speaker 5: but our love for one another just amplified him, and 1105 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,840 Speaker 5: his role as a father amplified. He was so intentional 1106 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,040 Speaker 5: with his time to begin with. I mean, he had 1107 00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:47,520 Speaker 5: it down to a millisecond. 1108 00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:48,240 Speaker 8: You guys know that. 1109 00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,920 Speaker 5: But Charlie was so good about making sure that his 1110 00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:57,959 Speaker 5: priorities remained his priorities. And even just hearing you read 1111 00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:00,760 Speaker 5: those words, Andrew, I have to tell you, like I 1112 00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:04,360 Speaker 5: hear my husband's voice and spirits so much in this book. 1113 00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:07,600 Speaker 5: Like I said this morning when we were having an 1114 00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:12,800 Speaker 5: interview earlier about this, I just he feels so alive 1115 00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:14,960 Speaker 5: with me still when I read these pages, because I 1116 00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:19,840 Speaker 5: feel like he's addressing it to me personally. And again, 1117 00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,920 Speaker 5: he made sure that when he took the time to 1118 00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,600 Speaker 5: rest and go for a hike, or spend some time 1119 00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:29,360 Speaker 5: with the kids, or just be able to show the 1120 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:33,120 Speaker 5: world the rest of the world. Yes, I'm Charlie Kirk. 1121 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 5: Yes I have these organizations, Yes I have my show, 1122 00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,840 Speaker 5: but what's the most important to me is God and 1123 00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:43,680 Speaker 5: my family. You guys can wait twenty four hours. If 1124 00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:45,360 Speaker 5: it's an emergency, you know how to get a hold 1125 00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:45,520 Speaker 5: of me. 1126 00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:46,560 Speaker 6: But you can wait. 1127 00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:48,120 Speaker 1: And that's so special. 1128 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:51,320 Speaker 8: Yeah, he was so intentional. 1129 00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,080 Speaker 16: And by the way, what you could see from what 1130 00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,880 Speaker 16: I just read, Blake, how serious Charlie took this. 1131 00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:58,080 Speaker 6: Yes, it was. 1132 00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,600 Speaker 16: It was very very serious to Charlie, and we would 1133 01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,480 Speaker 16: all get the notes like heye, see you later. 1134 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:06,040 Speaker 8: I'm not even that. 1135 01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:07,919 Speaker 6: It was always I always knew it was coming around 1136 01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:14,120 Speaker 6: the same time Shabbat Shalom. Exclamation point I telegram always 1137 01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,520 Speaker 6: the same one, and I'm like, I would sometimes be 1138 01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,840 Speaker 6: working on stuff I wanted Charlie to see something right before, 1139 01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:20,640 Speaker 6: and it would come through. I'm like, it's done. Not 1140 01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,480 Speaker 6: getting a respect to that one until Sunday. 1141 01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,919 Speaker 8: We still got everything done. That's the key. 1142 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,160 Speaker 16: As a matter of fact, I think you get more 1143 01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:28,960 Speaker 16: done in six days with rest than you do with 1144 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:30,560 Speaker 16: seven days with no rest. 1145 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,640 Speaker 6: And that's that's that's the breakthrough every college student. 1146 01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,400 Speaker 5: Nos Y, Yeah, and another thing too, is that Charlie 1147 01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:39,960 Speaker 5: made sure that this wasn't a legalistic thing. It didn't 1148 01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:42,800 Speaker 5: matter if you were Jewish, Christian, non observing citizen. That 1149 01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,400 Speaker 5: had nothing to do with it, actually really doesn't. What 1150 01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:48,200 Speaker 5: it boils down to is that you are taking the 1151 01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:53,440 Speaker 5: time to really use your time wisely. Charlie was only 1152 01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:54,680 Speaker 5: alive for thirty one years. 1153 01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,360 Speaker 6: That sucks, It just does. 1154 01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,960 Speaker 5: Your life is so short.

Welcome back to question in 1207 01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:39,960 Speaker 6: a minute. You know it was just it was I 1208 01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:42,440 Speaker 6: always think with the tap of how I just walked 1209 01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,920 Speaker 6: in in the middle of it. You guys have all 1210 01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:48,000 Speaker 6: testified how it transformed Charlie for the better once he 1211 01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,680 Speaker 6: adopted it. I just think of how I got in 1212 01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:53,240 Speaker 6: and I saw this person who was hugely effective, had 1213 01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:57,760 Speaker 6: so much agency, had this immense ability to change the world. 1214 01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:01,120 Speaker 6: But then he's also checking out for one day a week, 1215 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:04,080 Speaker 6: and everyone's saying, Blake, you have no idea how different 1216 01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:06,200 Speaker 6: Charlie is for how he was just two years ago. 1217 01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,400 Speaker 16: It was just he just he expanded his capacity. It 1218 01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:11,480 Speaker 16: was just amazing, like the man had it felt like 1219 01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:14,880 Speaker 16: unlimited capacity. And then he takes one day off a week, 1220 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,760 Speaker 16: and somehow it expanded his capacity. 1221 01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,920 Speaker 6: And everyone around him as well. Yes, it really was 1222 01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:22,080 Speaker 6: a force multiplier, but. 1223 01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:24,720 Speaker 16: Well more with Eric, he hurt the one you really 1224 01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:40,280 Speaker 16: want to hear from.

We are talking about Stop in the Name 1227 01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:50,800 Speaker 16: of God, Charlie's last book, which breaks my heart. Honestly 1228 01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:52,480 Speaker 16: makes me kind of want to cry every time I 1229 01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:54,560 Speaker 16: say it, and I'm trying not to. But I'm so 1230 01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,480 Speaker 16: proud of Erica, who's doing it for her husband. She 1231 01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:03,080 Speaker 16: is doing an amazing job promoting this book in his stead. Erica, 1232 01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:06,120 Speaker 16: what does that mean to you? You know, just to 1233 01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:09,520 Speaker 16: be out there doing this for Charlie, to spread this 1234 01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:11,360 Speaker 16: word that was so near and dear to him. 1235 01:05:13,760 --> 01:05:17,280 Speaker 5: It's really I mean, I'll be honest, Andrew, I can't 1236 01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:22,960 Speaker 5: finish the last chapter. I don't know when I'll be 1237 01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 5: able to. It's kind of like when you again, I've 1238 01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:30,920 Speaker 5: said this before, you get only so many first and 1239 01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:37,400 Speaker 5: last within one thing, and for this book, that's united 1240 01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:41,040 Speaker 5: in one for me, meaning it's the first time I 1241 01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:44,919 Speaker 5: am reading my husband's last book. It's not the last 1242 01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,200 Speaker 5: time i'll read the book, but it's the first time 1243 01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:52,440 Speaker 5: to read his final words. And it's hard to think that. 1244 01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:55,840 Speaker 5: It's just it's so it's so divine too, that of 1245 01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:59,240 Speaker 5: all of the books that he leaves for us, it's 1246 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,600 Speaker 5: not a book about politics. It's not a book I mean, 1247 01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:04,400 Speaker 5: although he does talk about some things politically within here, 1248 01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:06,680 Speaker 5: and he does talk about worshiping idols, and he does 1249 01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:13,560 Speaker 5: talk about, you know, different philosophies and theologies that have 1250 01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:20,160 Speaker 5: implications towards certain things. But he, of all the books 1251 01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:25,320 Speaker 5: to write, he writes something about honoring God, and he 1252 01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:29,000 Speaker 5: writes it in a way where he literally became the 1253 01:06:29,160 --> 01:06:32,840 Speaker 5: subject matter expert on it because he wasn't trying to 1254 01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:35,720 Speaker 5: preach and lecture to you you need to do this. 1255 01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:38,040 Speaker 5: He was like, you know what, guys, I did it 1256 01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:41,160 Speaker 5: and this made an impact in my life. And these 1257 01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:43,480 Speaker 5: these are the final words that I will leave you with. 1258 01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:48,400 Speaker 5: He went on campus knowing that communication was key, but 1259 01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:53,320 Speaker 5: he also knew that if the students, if whoever he 1260 01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:57,080 Speaker 5: was communicating with, also took some time to nourish their soul, 1261 01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:01,200 Speaker 5: to nourish their brain, to actually give themselves a better 1262 01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:05,919 Speaker 5: night's sleep, to take care of themselves holistically, there would 1263 01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:08,880 Speaker 5: be way more of a difference made in this country. 1264 01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:11,640 Speaker 5: There would actually be healing in this country if people 1265 01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:16,880 Speaker 5: actually took those combined holistically. And to me it was 1266 01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:20,560 Speaker 5: it's just Charlie being like, you know what, stop and 1267 01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:23,520 Speaker 5: pause and rest. That doesn't mean you're weak, That doesn't 1268 01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:27,000 Speaker 5: mean that you know. It means just take some time 1269 01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:30,240 Speaker 5: for the Lord and take some time to really just 1270 01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,280 Speaker 5: hold into perspective what's true and what's beautiful? 1271 01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:36,080 Speaker 11: Man? 1272 01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:38,480 Speaker 6: I almost don't want to ask question after that, that's 1273 01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:40,440 Speaker 6: so beautiful. But I thought, we do have a we 1274 01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:45,240 Speaker 6: have do have three minutes here still, Erica. Obviously Charlie 1275 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:46,880 Speaker 6: was working on us at home a lot. I thought 1276 01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:50,560 Speaker 6: I'd ask, is there anything you've read in the book 1277 01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:52,200 Speaker 6: so far that stands out? 1278 01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:52,400 Speaker 13: Oh? 1279 01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:55,600 Speaker 6: I remember that conversation that led to that or on 1280 01:07:55,720 --> 01:08:00,760 Speaker 6: the flip side, On the flip side, something that you 1281 01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:05,240 Speaker 6: learned to your surprise while going through reading this book. 1282 01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:05,800 Speaker 6: Sorry about that. 1283 01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:09,600 Speaker 5: The surprise side is I mean, I knew my husband 1284 01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:14,520 Speaker 5: was brilliant, but the depth of understanding of this topic 1285 01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:18,160 Speaker 5: is amazing, and how he weaves in the Bible and 1286 01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:21,320 Speaker 5: how he reads in just weaves in all these different 1287 01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:26,759 Speaker 5: interesting facts and history of the Sabbath, and then even 1288 01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,920 Speaker 5: certain laws like blue laws that we had here in 1289 01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:34,720 Speaker 5: this country, and how we have changed as an American 1290 01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:40,439 Speaker 5: citizens without having that rest built into our country, and 1291 01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:44,120 Speaker 5: how that's actually impacted us as a as a whole, 1292 01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:48,040 Speaker 5: as a body. So that was kind of because I 1293 01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:50,559 Speaker 5: you know, I hear him writing about this book and everything, 1294 01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:51,880 Speaker 5: and he shares certain topics with me. 1295 01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:52,920 Speaker 6: But that was really interesting. 1296 01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:57,400 Speaker 5: The one thing that was really sweet when he at 1297 01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:59,200 Speaker 5: towards the end of the book he will give you 1298 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:04,960 Speaker 5: practice ways of applying the Sabbath for yourself, whether that 1299 01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:07,400 Speaker 5: means you going for a hike in nature, whether that 1300 01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:10,880 Speaker 5: means you doing something like sun setting your device where 1301 01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:14,000 Speaker 5: after five pm the phone's off, just how it used 1302 01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,479 Speaker 5: to be years ago, before there were devices everywhere, and 1303 01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:18,800 Speaker 5: once you left the office, that was it.

For decades, the heads of independent government 1350 01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:53,000 Speaker 17: agencies have had tenure which protects them from being fired 1351 01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:55,439 Speaker 17: by political reasons or for political reasons. 1352 01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:57,080 Speaker 1: However, the Trump. 1353 01:11:56,880 --> 01:12:01,599 Speaker 17: Administration are used the tenure protections from Congress illegally encroaches 1354 01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:06,080 Speaker 17: on presidential powers under the Constitution.

At least thirty three people are heard 1362 01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,320 Speaker 17: as a result of this trimmer. What's even more shocking 1363 01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:43,280 Speaker 17: is the tsunami warnings that were triggered for this particular area. 1364 01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:47,120 Speaker 17: Some areas saw water wash away cars and spill well 1365 01:12:47,160 --> 01:12:49,840 Speaker 17: over their banks, as you can see here. The US 1366 01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:52,920 Speaker 17: Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii warns of a quote hazardous 1367 01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:57,880 Speaker 17: waves in forecasts for Japan. As aftershocks are expected. 1368 01:12:58,400 --> 01:12:59,160 Speaker 11: That's a chuck. 1369 01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:09,760 Speaker 15: Waking up. 1370 01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:12,120 Speaker 1: Who woke? Oh you should get over that quickly, one 1371 01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:15,280 Speaker 1: brainwashed radical at a time. That's enough. It's the Charlie 1372 01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:15,920 Speaker 1: Kirk Show. 1373 01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:18,599 Speaker 8: All right, Welcome back to the Charlie Kirkshow. 1374 01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:21,599 Speaker 16: That was amazing. Send us your thoughts freedom at Charliekirk 1375 01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:24,960 Speaker 16: dot com. Blake can gather them. I'm so proud of 1376 01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,320 Speaker 16: Erica doing that. I can't that that was incredible. I 1377 01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:30,439 Speaker 16: can't tell you just how hard that must be. I 1378 01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:34,240 Speaker 16: can't imagine how hard it would be. But I doing 1379 01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:38,400 Speaker 16: the press tour for your husband's book in his stead. 1380 01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:42,080 Speaker 16: It's just something nobody should have to do. And I'm 1381 01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:44,880 Speaker 16: very proud of her. And anyways, I want to tell 1382 01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:47,719 Speaker 16: you guys about one of our partners here, connection, open dialogue. 1383 01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:50,599 Speaker 16: These are the things that build communities. Charlie and TikTok 1384 01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,680 Speaker 16: shared in that knowledge. That's why TikTok has built a 1385 01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:56,720 Speaker 16: space where that kind of listening actually happens. People don't 1386 01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:59,200 Speaker 16: just post, they respond, They build on each other's ideas. 1387 01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:02,439 Speaker 16: You'll see a teacher who can simplify a really tough 1388 01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:05,880 Speaker 16: lesson for their students. So finally clicks and you'll see 1389 01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:09,519 Speaker 16: a gardener sharing a trick that saved their crop. But 1390 01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:13,200 Speaker 16: what matters most isn't that first post. It's what comes next. 1391 01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:16,080 Speaker 16: Someone asking a question, someone answering with a story of 1392 01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:19,400 Speaker 16: their own, and suddenly people who've never meant mets share 1393 01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:23,120 Speaker 16: something in common. They have a community that's built on curiosity. 1394 01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:26,519 Speaker 16: When people listen and understand, a shift can actually happen. 1395 01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:30,040 Speaker 16: Walls come down, ideas travel further in connection, Real connection 1396 01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:32,400 Speaker 16: takes their place. This is what listening does. It reminds 1397 01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:35,040 Speaker 16: us that we're not also different after all. And that's 1398 01:14:35,040 --> 01:14:37,360 Speaker 16: what makes TikTok so powerful. It's a place where every 1399 01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:40,960 Speaker 16: post can turn into a conversation, in every conversation can 1400 01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:45,479 Speaker 16: make a difference. Very excited about this next conversation with 1401 01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:49,200 Speaker 16: doctor Matthew Spalding. He's vice president Hillsdale College. He's a 1402 01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:52,080 Speaker 16: new book, The Making of the American Mind, The Story 1403 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:54,960 Speaker 16: of our Declaration of Independence. 1404 01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:57,040 Speaker 8: I wanted to do this. 1405 01:14:58,760 --> 01:15:01,479 Speaker 16: Book today, been talking about for a little while with 1406 01:15:01,680 --> 01:15:04,800 Speaker 16: their team because you know, you got this birthright citizenship 1407 01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:08,840 Speaker 16: thing coming up, and that the discussion gets very distracted 1408 01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:13,040 Speaker 16: very quickly. But doctor Spalding has a very I think 1409 01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:16,160 Speaker 16: interesting focus point. So, doctor Spaulding, welcome to the Charlie 1410 01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:16,639 Speaker 16: Kirk Show. 1411 01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:20,519 Speaker 15: Great to be with you.

And but 1419 01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:43,440 Speaker 16: it's also important about your topic. What is an American? 1420 01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:47,320 Speaker 16: Is a is a question that is really echoing across 1421 01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:51,479 Speaker 16: I think elite intellectual circles but also social media circles. 1422 01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:54,240 Speaker 16: What is an American? And you have this book that 1423 01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:57,519 Speaker 16: just it, you know, endeavors to answer that in a 1424 01:15:57,680 --> 01:15:59,800 Speaker 16: in a very unique way by you're saying the making 1425 01:15:59,880 --> 01:16:01,879 Speaker 16: of the American mind, the story of our declaration. 1426 01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:03,479 Speaker 8: What is your book about? 1427 01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:04,280 Speaker 11: Uh? 1428 01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:07,080 Speaker 8: And and what there's a through line I want to 1429 01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:08,960 Speaker 8: dive into, but I'll give you the floor. 1430 01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:11,680 Speaker 23: No, No, there absolutely is a through line, and I 1431 01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:13,800 Speaker 23: think it's it's a very clear through line to be 1432 01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:17,040 Speaker 23: perfectly honest, But uh, you know that we're coming up 1433 01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:20,400 Speaker 23: of our tourn fifty anniversary of the of the Declaration itself, 1434 01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:23,200 Speaker 23: which is the timing of it, I suppose. But I've 1435 01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:26,439 Speaker 23: been working on this for a long time and studying 1436 01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:28,920 Speaker 23: the modern debates, both on the left and the right, 1437 01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:34,120 Speaker 23: about numerous topics. Almost all of them go back to 1438 01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:37,200 Speaker 23: an understanding of what we are as a people. What 1439 01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:39,160 Speaker 23: does it mean to be an American? What are the 1440 01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:44,000 Speaker 23: principles that form us? And there's this conception of what 1441 01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:48,560 Speaker 23: it what makes us Americans? And the document that is 1442 01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:51,920 Speaker 23: really central to that whole thing, that whole conversation is 1443 01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:55,679 Speaker 23: the Declaration of Independence, which we oftentimes, you know, we'll 1444 01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:59,440 Speaker 23: read or we'll hear spoken parts of the famous sections 1445 01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:02,439 Speaker 23: on the fourth in July, maybe we'll know a little 1446 01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:04,040 Speaker 23: bit about it in its history. I wanted to write 1447 01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:06,800 Speaker 23: a book that tells its own story, the story of 1448 01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:10,080 Speaker 23: the Declaration, how we got it, how it came into being, 1449 01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:13,439 Speaker 23: how Jefferson ended up drafting it for the Continental Congress, 1450 01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:17,759 Speaker 23: how they edit it significantly to make more points about, 1451 01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:22,560 Speaker 23: among other things, theology, the theologicalations of the Declaration, and 1452 01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:25,960 Speaker 23: go through it essential as a commentary looking the Declaration 1453 01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:29,320 Speaker 23: for a general audience very closely, lined by line in 1454 01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:32,639 Speaker 23: a way that people can understand, because when you understand, 1455 01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:36,200 Speaker 23: you can't really love your country if you don't know 1456 01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:36,920 Speaker 23: your country. 1457 01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,040 Speaker 15: And the thing we do need to know is the 1458 01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:40,280 Speaker 15: Declaration Independence. 1459 01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:45,280 Speaker 23: It is the greatest and the most eloquent statement of 1460 01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:49,360 Speaker 23: freedom in Western civilization, especially in the American tradition. It's 1461 01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:52,839 Speaker 23: a beautiful document and we should know it. Our listeners 1462 01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:57,759 Speaker 23: should know it. Members of TPUSA, every college student in America. Children, 1463 01:17:58,320 --> 01:17:59,400 Speaker 23: It's a beautiful thing. 1464 01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:03,760 Speaker 16: I'm just looking at the Constitution. It's uh, it's under 1465 01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:09,280 Speaker 16: Charlie's his his hat here and and his gift from 1466 01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:11,760 Speaker 16: his daughter. But yeah, he would always flash this thing 1467 01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:12,280 Speaker 16: on the show. 1468 01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:13,320 Speaker 6: Is it the Declaration? 1469 01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:17,400 Speaker 8: We have versions, at least we used to with the Declaration. 1470 01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:19,479 Speaker 15: A lot of times they put them, they put them together. 1471 01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:23,880 Speaker 23: Yeah, but I mean the extend to which there are 1472 01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:24,519 Speaker 23: two documents. 1473 01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:27,480 Speaker 15: They go together. You can't without the Declaration. 1474 01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:30,280 Speaker 8: Well, and here's here's something that you say about this. 1475 01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:31,240 Speaker 8: Uh you said? 1476 01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:34,800 Speaker 16: Thomas Jefferson called the Declaration of Independence an expression of 1477 01:18:34,920 --> 01:18:39,320 Speaker 16: the American mind, not merely a document. The Declaration is 1478 01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:42,360 Speaker 16: the common creed of our civic life and it inspires 1479 01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:45,920 Speaker 16: the shared poetry of our political soul. I think that's 1480 01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:49,160 Speaker 16: a really fascinating way to put it. It is a 1481 01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:52,640 Speaker 16: common creed, it is I guess the question then, for you, 1482 01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:56,000 Speaker 16: doctor would be, you know, we just love Hillsdale. Charlie 1483 01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:58,599 Speaker 16: loved Hillsdale, so you know. I didn't give your bio. 1484 01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:02,360 Speaker 16: But you are the Kirby Professor in Constitutional Government and 1485 01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:05,439 Speaker 16: Dean of the Van Andel Graduate School of Government at 1486 01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:09,360 Speaker 16: Hillsdale College. And you have a lot of other titles, 1487 01:19:09,439 --> 01:19:12,960 Speaker 16: which is very academic academia of you. Your titles are 1488 01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:17,559 Speaker 16: always so long. But I guess the question, the real 1489 01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:20,599 Speaker 16: question of our time is with how much the nation 1490 01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:23,840 Speaker 16: has changed, with how much technology has changed, how many 1491 01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:27,120 Speaker 16: new cultures have come into the country in the last 1492 01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:33,320 Speaker 16: forty years especially, Can this common creed, this shared poetry 1493 01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:37,439 Speaker 16: of our political soul, can it bring us together again? 1494 01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:38,639 Speaker 15: Yeah? 1495 01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,719 Speaker 23: And that a great question, central question, probably the question 1496 01:19:43,479 --> 01:19:45,960 Speaker 23: for us to think about. But here here's the way 1497 01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:49,200 Speaker 23: to answer that. I think that Charlie among Ollis I 1498 01:19:49,240 --> 01:19:51,560 Speaker 23: think was getting at when he was studying more and 1499 01:19:51,680 --> 01:19:55,439 Speaker 23: more about these questions, in particular the American founding. The 1500 01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:58,960 Speaker 23: founding occurs in a time period that's not the modern 1501 01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:01,760 Speaker 23: one we are used to be surrounded by and what 1502 01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:03,200 Speaker 23: is taught in college campuses. 1503 01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:06,040 Speaker 15: It was a world in which we. 1504 01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:09,519 Speaker 23: Still had Christian moral horizons and we were still within 1505 01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:11,879 Speaker 23: the broad confined of what we might call a classical 1506 01:20:12,040 --> 01:20:16,360 Speaker 23: educational system. And in that way of thinking, the way 1507 01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:23,000 Speaker 23: we think about things that change, technology, methods of warfare, shipbuilding, 1508 01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:26,320 Speaker 23: whatever it might be. There are things that change, but 1509 01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:28,280 Speaker 23: the most important things to understand are the things that 1510 01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:31,240 Speaker 23: don't change. And the things that don't change are those 1511 01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:34,400 Speaker 23: things that have to do with our theological pursuits, which 1512 01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:38,400 Speaker 23: is why the Christian roots of Western civilization are so important. 1513 01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:42,840 Speaker 23: But also the kind of the intellectual, moral, rational roots 1514 01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:49,040 Speaker 23: of our thinking about unchanging principles, and the Declaration really 1515 01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:51,880 Speaker 23: brings in the American context especially, brings both of those 1516 01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:55,200 Speaker 23: things together in a very deep way. And so the 1517 01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:59,040 Speaker 23: argument of kind of that, this sense of education that 1518 01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:03,160 Speaker 23: we underlia all this is that you know the permanent things, 1519 01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:06,599 Speaker 23: and then these other questions become kind of prudential matters. 1520 01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:09,840 Speaker 23: We can debate about them, we can think them through, 1521 01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:13,960 Speaker 23: but you look at them in light of something else. Today, 1522 01:21:14,040 --> 01:21:15,800 Speaker 23: one of the problems is we look at these things 1523 01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:19,040 Speaker 23: in particulars as if that's the only thing at issue here, 1524 01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:23,120 Speaker 23: this particular policy question. The founders looked at it differently. 1525 01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:25,479 Speaker 23: I think Charlie looked at it differently. I think we 1526 01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:28,120 Speaker 23: at Hillsdale looked at it differently. Which is, these are 1527 01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:30,720 Speaker 23: all interesting questions, Let's think them through, let's argue and 1528 01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:35,120 Speaker 23: debate and deliberate, which is why it's so important to 1529 01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:38,040 Speaker 23: have that conversation. But we do so in light of 1530 01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:41,800 Speaker 23: things that don't change, because you can't judge whether something 1531 01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:44,960 Speaker 23: immediate new is good or bad unless you have something 1532 01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:46,360 Speaker 23: a standard by which to judge it. 1533 01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:48,680 Speaker 15: And that's really the heart of the declaration. 1534 01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:51,040 Speaker 23: It's also the heart of the kind of the Westerns, 1535 01:21:51,680 --> 01:21:57,360 Speaker 23: the whole Western tradition, both Christian and rational, going back 1536 01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:58,439 Speaker 23: to the Greeks and the Romans. 1537 01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:02,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's the Western tradition. But I think one 1538 01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:06,839 Speaker 6: thing that's often worth remarking upon is how really fortunate 1539 01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:11,040 Speaker 6: America has been. We were created in a revolution, but 1540 01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:15,360 Speaker 6: you can compare the French Revolution, another Western country, another 1541 01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:20,200 Speaker 6: historically Christian country, and their revolution was spectacularly bloody. We've 1542 01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:25,320 Speaker 6: had other spectacularly violent overturnings of the existing order, and 1543 01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:28,960 Speaker 6: yet in America ours was relatively peaceful, even our civil war, 1544 01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:31,200 Speaker 6: we we recovered from quickly. I was wondering if you 1545 01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:35,040 Speaker 6: could comments on were there's special ingredients into the American 1546 01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:37,000 Speaker 6: declaration of Independence. 1547 01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:41,360 Speaker 23: Absolutely, and you're again at that is a fabulous question 1548 01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:44,439 Speaker 23: itself as well. Because there's an American we call it 1549 01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:47,120 Speaker 23: the American Revolution, and then they called the French Revolution. 1550 01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:50,679 Speaker 23: They are diametrically opposed in very different and it's important 1551 01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:54,360 Speaker 23: to understand the differences, which is why we call it 1552 01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:56,720 Speaker 23: an American Revolution. But more rightly we referred to it 1553 01:22:56,800 --> 01:23:01,519 Speaker 23: as the American founding, as they were they were declaring 1554 01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:04,600 Speaker 23: their independence, having a revolution against England, but at the 1555 01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:05,280 Speaker 23: same time they. 1556 01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:06,400 Speaker 15: Were starting a new nation. 1557 01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:08,680 Speaker 23: So it really kind of points to the roots in 1558 01:23:08,720 --> 01:23:11,240 Speaker 23: a way that whereas the French Revolution was all about 1559 01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:15,719 Speaker 23: tearing things down. But there are a number of important differences. 1560 01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:21,040 Speaker 23: One is the American Revolution American founding is influenced by 1561 01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:26,639 Speaker 23: the roots of Western civilization that go through in particular England, 1562 01:23:27,439 --> 01:23:30,599 Speaker 23: which means it's more religious. It also means it's more 1563 01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:35,880 Speaker 23: tolerant and focus on constitutionalism in the rule of law. 1564 01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:39,880 Speaker 23: The French Revolution really is all the bad aspects of 1565 01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:44,320 Speaker 23: the Enlightenment, the French thinkers which give rights to the 1566 01:23:44,400 --> 01:23:47,040 Speaker 23: German thinkers, and a lot of the modern progressive liberals 1567 01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:51,840 Speaker 23: we have today which largely rejects it was very anti religious, 1568 01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:57,040 Speaker 23: and it was anti constitutional order. The other aspect I 1569 01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,400 Speaker 23: would add to it, which I get into some here, 1570 01:23:59,520 --> 01:24:02,560 Speaker 23: but is another aspect of some of my other scholarship, 1571 01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:06,599 Speaker 23: is the people involved. The members of the Continental Congress, 1572 01:24:06,640 --> 01:24:12,640 Speaker 23: and in particular George Washington, are their particular roles, their characters, 1573 01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:17,680 Speaker 23: their shaping of their values, and their moral sensibility. So 1574 01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:20,840 Speaker 23: our revolution ends in Washington making sure we have a 1575 01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:24,519 Speaker 23: constitutional convention, as opposed to the French revolution ends in 1576 01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:28,519 Speaker 23: people cutting getting their heads cut off the guillotine and 1577 01:24:28,640 --> 01:24:31,600 Speaker 23: Napoleon making war on the rest of the world for 1578 01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:34,560 Speaker 23: his own glory. So they can't be You couldn't have 1579 01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:37,519 Speaker 23: two revolutions that are more different than each other than 1580 01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:38,519 Speaker 23: the America and the French. 1581 01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:42,320 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean the French Revolution. 1582 01:24:43,120 --> 01:24:45,479 Speaker 16: I have not studied it to the extent that Blake has, 1583 01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:48,600 Speaker 16: but it is, as you said, diametrically opposed to the 1584 01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:49,439 Speaker 16: American experience. 1585 01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:52,600 Speaker 8: By the way, there is something you know, you hear sometimes. 1586 01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:55,360 Speaker 16: These arguments about a case for British colonialism and a 1587 01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:56,960 Speaker 16: case for the British Empire, and. 1588 01:24:57,520 --> 01:25:00,320 Speaker 6: It really is a remarkable It was such a we 1589 01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:04,559 Speaker 6: Britain has shaped the world so much we overlook how 1590 01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:09,760 Speaker 6: amazing Britain was the places that created America, Australia, even 1591 01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:10,439 Speaker 6: Canada before. 1592 01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:14,519 Speaker 16: I don't know about that, but yeah, no, I'm just kidding, 1593 01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:18,519 Speaker 16: but I will say what I'm really curious doctor, I 1594 01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:21,240 Speaker 16: want to I want to dive into this because you're 1595 01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:24,679 Speaker 16: saying that the declaration is a particular and a unique 1596 01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:29,080 Speaker 16: outflow of the spirit of the people of America.

It's one of 1712 01:30:39,680 --> 01:30:44,120 Speaker 16: the most stable countries in Africa anyways. But America was 1713 01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:46,839 Speaker 16: a British colony. But we broke from what made America 1714 01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:50,519 Speaker 16: unique from the motherland, from the mother country, What made 1715 01:30:50,600 --> 01:30:52,840 Speaker 16: the American soul so different? 1716 01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:56,960 Speaker 15: Well, I'd almost have to write a book in you 1717 01:30:57,040 --> 01:30:58,040 Speaker 15: a full answer to that question. 1718 01:30:58,080 --> 01:31:01,920 Speaker 8: Well, that's your next one, doctor, by. 1719 01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:03,720 Speaker 23: This one gets into a lot of that because I 1720 01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:07,360 Speaker 23: actually draw that out because that's again a crucial question. 1721 01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:11,600 Speaker 23: So America is unique and different because it draws on 1722 01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:15,080 Speaker 23: a lot of these traditions, I mean Western civilization, going 1723 01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:17,839 Speaker 23: back to the Greeks and Romans, going through the Christian tradition, 1724 01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:23,160 Speaker 23: going through England in particular, that is extremely important, creates 1725 01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:26,600 Speaker 23: this thing called America. And America could go places the 1726 01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:29,800 Speaker 23: British just could not go. The British weren't going to 1727 01:31:29,840 --> 01:31:32,240 Speaker 23: get rid of their king as a practical matter, they 1728 01:31:32,280 --> 01:31:35,200 Speaker 23: were going to have consent. But the really the turning 1729 01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:38,200 Speaker 23: point comes when all those things kind of combine, if 1730 01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:42,880 Speaker 23: you will, the Christian tradition in particular, and the kind 1731 01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:47,040 Speaker 23: of rational Greek Roman tradition and the British ruled law tradition, 1732 01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:50,240 Speaker 23: and they are forced by the king and by his 1733 01:31:50,439 --> 01:31:52,839 Speaker 23: regulations and taxes to come up with a new idea 1734 01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:56,920 Speaker 23: for the basis of their freedom. And they do, and 1735 01:31:57,000 --> 01:32:00,640 Speaker 23: the base of that is to to reckon in the 1736 01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:04,280 Speaker 23: very nature of things there is human equality. And that 1737 01:32:04,520 --> 01:32:08,120 Speaker 23: is a radical idea, not revolutionary in the moderness of 1738 01:32:08,120 --> 01:32:10,200 Speaker 23: the French, but radical in the sense of going back 1739 01:32:10,200 --> 01:32:12,439 Speaker 23: to the root of things, which is the word radical 1740 01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:16,600 Speaker 23: means that's a radical idea now that grows out of 1741 01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:21,040 Speaker 23: the whole Western tradition through England, and equality is a 1742 01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:26,280 Speaker 23: very Christian idea, but it's the first time a nation 1743 01:32:26,479 --> 01:32:28,680 Speaker 23: dedicates itself to the idea is the Americans. 1744 01:32:29,360 --> 01:32:31,400 Speaker 15: So what's unique about it the American tradition is that 1745 01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:31,920 Speaker 15: it's both a. 1746 01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:36,080 Speaker 23: Tradition of people, we have a particular history, we're a place, 1747 01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:40,879 Speaker 23: We're made of this mix of these English people especially 1748 01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:42,720 Speaker 23: that can mix with other people, and we have a 1749 01:32:42,760 --> 01:32:46,840 Speaker 23: lot of different religions. All that is important, but we 1750 01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:52,639 Speaker 23: have this political these ideas which are universal. All menorecrety equal, 1751 01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:56,840 Speaker 23: not just Americans, not just British, All men are cret equal. 1752 01:32:57,600 --> 01:33:01,040 Speaker 23: So we're a particular nation dedicated to universal principles. That 1753 01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:03,639 Speaker 23: those two things together, it gets back to I think 1754 01:33:03,680 --> 01:33:05,880 Speaker 23: what you were earlier asking about what's unique here. 1755 01:33:06,880 --> 01:33:09,360 Speaker 15: A lot of countries are defined. 1756 01:33:09,240 --> 01:33:14,760 Speaker 23: As merely because they're they're German or their ethnicity, and 1757 01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:16,720 Speaker 23: then there are a lot of modern countries like the 1758 01:33:16,840 --> 01:33:20,280 Speaker 23: French or kind of radical claims, these various forms of 1759 01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:25,040 Speaker 23: rational idealism. But the Americans had this melding, if you will, 1760 01:33:25,160 --> 01:33:29,840 Speaker 23: of a certain ethnicity, tradition, and history with ideas. But 1761 01:33:29,960 --> 01:33:34,640 Speaker 23: their ideas really go back to the earlier arguments you 1762 01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:37,520 Speaker 23: get from the Christian and the Greek and Roman traditions. 1763 01:33:38,160 --> 01:33:40,200 Speaker 23: As a result, I would say that's why America really 1764 01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:42,479 Speaker 23: is is as Lincoln said, the Last Great Hope. 1765 01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:46,719 Speaker 15: What do you do represent Western tradition today? 1766 01:33:47,000 --> 01:33:47,200 Speaker 19: Yeah? 1767 01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:49,479 Speaker 8: No, And I wish we could keep going. We're hitting 1768 01:33:49,800 --> 01:33:50,760 Speaker 8: the end of our show here. 1769 01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:54,160 Speaker 16: But it does feel like America somehow took all the 1770 01:33:54,240 --> 01:33:56,680 Speaker 16: best things from all the all the best ideas and 1771 01:33:56,960 --> 01:33:59,639 Speaker 16: put them together and lifted up these universal truths. 1772 01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:03,360 Speaker 8: Are Samana Protestant? Yeah exactly. 1773 01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:07,559 Speaker 16: Uh well, please check out that book, doctor spauld Spaulding. 1774 01:34:07,560 --> 01:34:10,840 Speaker 8: It was so good to have you.
