1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,359 Speaker 1: The Michael Berry Show. Charlie Kirk is a conservative activist, author, commentator, 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: founder and president of Turning Point USA, and you've probably 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 1: seen videos of him on college campuses doing the work 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to do, going to argue with liberal students. 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm glad he's doing it, and that's why we give 6 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 1: him an audience for it. He's known for his outspoken 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,120 Speaker 1: political views, frequent media appearances and social media presence, and 8 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: willingness to go anywhere at all times and speak because, 9 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: as I said, I'm not good for him. If that 10 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 1: makes you think less of me, so be it. I 11 00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: don't want to go to that sort of stuff. I 12 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: don't travel anymore. So he spoke at Hillsdale College about 13 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: the Constitution and President Trump's early priorities for his second term. 14 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: I think he was pretty good here. 15 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 2: It is Thank you everybody, and thank you doctor arn. 16 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: It's very kind. I think I'm i might be the 17 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 2: first speaker at a national leadership seminar not to go 18 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 2: to college. 19 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 3: Is that right? Maybe? Maybe or not? 20 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: But I'm on pace to complete every single Hillsdale online course, 21 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: So I think I'm making up for it. And I 22 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: I visit college campuses so you don't have to. And 23 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 2: I can tell you that if every kid who's currently 24 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: in college took the Hillsdale online courses instead of going 25 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 2: to that four year college, America would be in a 26 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: much better place, much better place. We might have some 27 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: ideas now for this new administration. I just want to 28 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: brag on Hillsdale. So I wrote a book called The 29 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: College Scam, and I sent a copy to doctor arn 30 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: I speak extensively about how great Hillsdale is and how 31 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 2: it's the exception of what I talk about in the book. 32 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 2: And I can tell you from firsthand experience, having visited 33 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: and spoken at and intimately involved with organizing students on 34 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: over what we're on over one thousand campuses I have 35 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 2: visited well over one hundred and seventy five of them personally, 36 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: that there is no place like Hillsdale College. 37 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 3: The students are different. 38 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 2: They're focused on the right things, they are looking up, 39 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: They're asking questions that are deeper in nature. They could 40 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: tell you why they're there. So I'm visiting. We have 41 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: our campus tour that's restarting on Thursday. Really I'm excited 42 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 2: to kind of go back out there. And when I 43 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: ask these students I say why are you here? They'll 44 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: immediately give you an answer that is industrial in nature. 45 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 2: I'm here to be able to get prepared to get 46 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 2: a job. I say, okay, I asked a Hillsdale College student, 47 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 2: why are you here? They say, well, I'm here to 48 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,239 Speaker 2: learn out learn how to be a good citizen. I'm 49 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 2: here to learn what it means to be a good person, 50 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 2: to grow in character and faith and duty. And I 51 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: ask an average college student at Arizona State University, Harvard 52 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: or the West down the street here, and let's just 53 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: be honest, it pales in comparison to Hillsdale for many reasons. 54 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 2: Let's just be honest. And I asked them, I said, 55 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 2: what are you reading? And they could maybe recite one 56 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 2: or two books. At Hillsdale College, they know the texts intimately. 57 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: And it's not a mistake because it all starts from 58 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: doctor Larry arn Hillsdale was a good college when doctor 59 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: Arnt took over. Now it is the best college in 60 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 2: America after what doctor Arne has done over the last 61 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 2: couple of decades, and it has turned into a cultural 62 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 2: powerhouse because, as you well know, Hillsdale, there's a waiting 63 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: line to get in the standards keep on getting higher 64 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: and harder to get in, but the millions of people 65 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: like myself that are taking these online courses is dramatically 66 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 2: improving our chances of restoring a free society. 67 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 3: The Constitution one on one course that. 68 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 2: Alone should be taught mandatorily to every police officer, firefighter, marine, 69 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 2: person in the military that has to take an oath 70 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: for the Constitution. They should learn what they're taking an 71 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 2: oath towards. And no better course does that than the 72 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: Hillsdale Constitution one on one course. And the impact is 73 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: beyond just what is happening in Michigan. It is digital, 74 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 2: it is online, and I think it's even deeper than 75 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: some of you guys that are on the board even 76 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 2: recognize or realize, because it's not just how many people 77 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: are taking these courses. It's the state legislature, it's the senators, 78 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 2: it's the congress people. And I'm gonna I'm gonna build 79 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 2: out that argument in a second, because the philosophical basis 80 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 2: of this new administration is largely an outgrowth from the 81 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 2: hard work that Hillsdale has been doing over the last 82 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 2: couple decades. So it's impacted my life. I have as 83 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 2: doctor Aron said, I've completed over thirty of them. My 84 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 2: goal is to take all of them. Yes, even the 85 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: Euclidean Geometry one. And I haven't done the Jane Austen 86 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: novels one. Sorry, have done the Churchill one. It's good, okay, thanks. 87 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 2: The new Totalitary Novels is terrific. By the way, I 88 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 2: highly recommend for any of you that have kids or 89 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 2: grandkids to tell them that if they want special privileges 90 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 2: to go on a trip, or they want, you know, 91 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 2: phone time or video games, tell them, Okay, you have 92 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: to take a Hillsdale Online course. I'm telling what we're 93 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: doing at Turning Point USA, because they've all these ridiculous 94 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: federal holidays off. We're totally restructuring a Juneteenth. We're not 95 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 2: getting those days off. I'll say, however, we will give 96 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,679 Speaker 2: you Constitution day off if you take the Hillsdale Online 97 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 2: course on Constitution one to one. So that is now 98 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: practice at Turning Point USA. But I'll tell you this 99 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: that as you take these courses, you realize how little 100 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: our own elected leaders know about the own the country 101 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 2: that they're supposed to be protecting and they're defending. How 102 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 2: little the people that go on TV and start yammering 103 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 2: about you know, we're all about freedom and liberty, and 104 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: they can't tell you anything about the structure or the 105 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 2: form of the US Constitution what we're fighting for. And 106 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 2: I think we're finding our way back as a country. 107 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 2: I think that we are finding our way back to 108 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 2: foundational roots. And part of that, by the way, is 109 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: being driven by one of the most unusual forces, which 110 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 2: is that this is a bottom up, youth led political 111 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 2: movement that if you look at every single demographic in 112 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 2: the twenty twenty four election, moved most dramatically and surprisingly 113 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 2: were voters under the age of thirty. These are people 114 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 2: that traditionally would be card carrying members of the American left. Now, 115 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 2: Donald Trump did not win the youth vote in every 116 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: single state. And I will tell you one state, and 117 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 2: he won the youth vote. And I give Doctor on 118 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 2: all the credit. He did win the youth vote in Michigan. 119 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 3: It's true. 120 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 2: It's one hundred percent real. Donald Trump won the youth 121 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 2: vote in Michigan. But all kidding aside, this movement of 122 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: young people is largely driven by them being raised in 123 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: the excesses of what we call woke. Is the kind 124 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 2: of political correctness, of totalitarian impulses of political correctness, and 125 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 2: a resurgeon some of what the work we've done at 126 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 2: turning point, but talking to the next generation about what 127 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 2: kind of country do you. 128 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 3: Actually want to live in. 129 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 2: Do you want to be able to own a home, 130 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: get married and have kids, or do you want to 131 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 2: just stare at a screen all day long and be 132 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 2: an indentured Russian surf and never own anything for the 133 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 2: rest of your life. And President Trump, to his great credit, 134 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 2: ran an asymmetrical political operation that defied every single Norman 135 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 2: custom of the political consultant elite over the last thirty years. 136 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 2: He did podcasting instead of sixty minute interviews. He went 137 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 2: and did TikTok videos instead of New York Times editorial 138 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: sit down meeting. He said, no one reads the New 139 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 2: York Times, but people do watch TikTok videos and an 140 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: amazing way. President Donald Trump performed the best that a 141 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: Republican president has performed with younger voters in. 142 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 3: Over fifty years. Fifty years. 143 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 2: And this is a bottom up resurgence where now of 144 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 2: every demographic the SA do approve or disapprove of Donald Trump. 145 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: Baby boomers no offense, They're not really crazy about what's 146 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 2: happening in DC. Do you know who is the most 147 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 2: supportive of what's happening right now? Washington d C voters 148 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: under thirty And I'll tell you it makes perfect sense. 149 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 2: By the way, it's because they think the entire system, 150 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 2: top to bottom, is wretched to the core and is 151 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: a tumor that must be removed. And we must start 152 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 2: from the beginning because it's not working for them, because 153 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 2: they can't afford homes, and they're seeing themselves involve the 154 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: most suicidal, depressed, anxious, and alcohol addicted generation history, and 155 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 2: they want the same American dream that their parents and 156 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 2: grandparents had. And so we saw this in this last election. 157 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 2: I personally was able to witness it. Our videos to 158 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 2: billions of views. We registered tens of thousands of voters 159 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 2: here in Arizona, where we had over one thousand full 160 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: time people on the ground. We chased well over two 161 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 2: hundred thousand ballots for President Donald Trump. And I just 162 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 2: have to brag Arizona best performing swing state one by 163 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 2: five and a half points. So thank you for all 164 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: the Arizona faithful that works so hard. 165 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 3: Pretty awesome. 166 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 2: But all of that has now led to the ultimate question, which, 167 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 2: of course, we all see what President Trump has done 168 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 2: in just the last couple of weeks. President Trump is 169 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 2: doing so much the Democrats can't remember why they're mad 170 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: at him. 171 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 3: Wait, I'm man, why I don't know? 172 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,559 Speaker 2: He's getting rid of this and signing this thing full 173 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 2: court offense, shock and awe. It is time for us 174 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: to overwhelm the left. You see, President Trump had a 175 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 2: decision to make. 176 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 3: He could do the. 177 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 2: Kind of typical second term thing and wait for his 178 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: legislative priorities and sign a couple proclamations to rename some 179 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 2: post offices. President Donald Trump is going after one of 180 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 2: the most ambitious reclamations of a republic. 181 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 3: In the history of the species. We've never seen anything 182 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 3: like it. 183 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 2: Now, of course, we know the executive Order is saying 184 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 2: there'll be no more DEI in federal agencies, no more 185 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 2: DEI in our military. We know that he's doing drill, 186 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 2: baby drill. We know that he's closing the southern border. 187 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 2: And by the way, did you see the recent numbers 188 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 2: in just the last couple of days, So it's worth 189 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 2: repeating if you haven't in the last couple of days 190 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: of Joe Biden being president, eleven thousand people were crossing 191 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 2: a day into our country last like yesterday, one hundred 192 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 2: and forty two people. 193 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 3: That's too many. Seva planning too many. We got to 194 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 3: go to zero. 195 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 2: But yes, that's a ninety eight percent decrease, which, by 196 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 2: the way, goes the show that open borders is a choice. 197 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 2: You didn't need a Senate bipartisan bill, you didn't need 198 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 2: some sort of committee. Joe Biden wanted the borders to 199 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 2: be open, and he wanted us to have this flow 200 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 2: of people from another country. President Donald Trump made a decision. No, Actually, 201 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 2: nation is defined by its borders. We're going to have sovereignty, 202 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 2: and if you want to come to this country, come 203 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 2: the right way. But we're not going to allow you 204 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 2: just waltz across the Rio Grand Valley and get the 205 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 2: same benefits as someone who's the US passport holder. We're 206 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 2: not going to put up with that anymore. And that 207 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: is a moral argument at its core. Now we know 208 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:37,119 Speaker 2: about we know about Bobby Kennedy who's now HHS Secretary 209 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: Cash Patel, who is about to be FBI Director, Tulsey Gabbard. 210 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 2: My favorite executive order, by the way, is President Trump 211 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,719 Speaker 2: putting an end to the gender transitions called chemical castration 212 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 2: for our kids, preventing the medical butchery that has been happening. 213 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 2: All the incredible pardons of pro life Warriors the recommission 214 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 2: of the seventeen seventy six Commission, doctor Arne chaired last 215 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 2: time we're ending the wars, and how amazing is his 216 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 2: team from Marco Rubio today and Saudi Arabia JD vance 217 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 2: in Munich. That was a ten out of ten speech. 218 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 2: We got Scott Bessen and Ukraine. We got Pete Hegseth 219 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: doing pt with the Marines at five am, where we 220 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 2: had that slob Mark Millie who couldn't even walk up 221 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 2: a flight of stairs, or Lloyd Austin that would get 222 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 2: out of breath just for standing out of his chair. 223 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 2: We got Pete Heggseth who's literally running miles with Marines 224 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 2: and Navy seals where the sun gets up in Poland, 225 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 2: a new administration is here and all of this is 226 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 2: worthy of celebration, but it does not get down to 227 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 2: the core of the matter. It does not get down 228 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 2: to what is the big and the looming fight. And 229 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 2: I'm only able to articulate this because of Hillsdale College, 230 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 2: because most people on TV are missing what's really going 231 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 2: on here. They're missing what is going to be the 232 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: republic determining element of this entire thing. And it comes 233 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: down to three major questions, big question that are being 234 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: debated in the media, but they're not getting down to 235 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: the meat of the matter. The first of which is 236 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 2: so simple. And you can ask my daughter who's two 237 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 2: and a half years old, and she knows the answer 238 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 2: to this question. 239 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 3: How many branches of government are there? Pretty simple? We 240 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 3: all know three? 241 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 2: Yes, thank you, that's right, good answer. And yes, there's 242 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 2: seven articles of the Constitution, and yes we can go 243 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 2: throw that. Yes there's three branches of government. Oh easy answer? 244 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 3: Is it really that easy? Are there three branches of 245 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 3: the government? 246 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 2: What doctor Arn't has been saying for as long longer 247 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 2: than I have been alive, and has been trying to 248 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 2: get the American public to realize and recognize that there 249 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 2: has been an invisible, unelected, unknown branch of government that 250 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 2: has been operating unconstitutionally post Woodrow Wilson, and no one 251 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 2: has had the moral clarity, the mandate, or the gusto 252 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 2: to even mention it, let alone challenge it. Let alone, 253 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 2: deconstruct it. And we can call that the administrative state. 254 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 2: We can call that the shadow government, the deep state. 255 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 2: All of those are correct answers, by the way, But 256 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 2: understand the profundity of President Donald Trump saying, Okay, JFK 257 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: started usaid by an executive order, I can end usaid 258 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 2: by an executive order. You serve at the pleasure of 259 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 2: the president. And then they say, well, no, you can't 260 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 2: do that. Hold on which branch of the three does 261 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: that fall under. It falls under Article two, which goes 262 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 2: into one of the other more fundamental questions. You see, 263 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 2: what's been grown like a cancer over the last one 264 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 2: hundred years is this fourth branch of government. And you 265 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: can see this in some of the reporting on the 266 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 2: Department of Justice and the FBI in particular. Anytime you 267 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 2: hear this, you should press pause and tell your friend nope, nope, 268 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 2: and you should cancel this out of your thought. When 269 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 2: they say, oh, that's an independent agency, No it's not. Actually, 270 00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 2: there's no such thing as an independent agency answers to 271 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 2: the pleasure of the president period. End up story, The 272 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 2: FBI is not independent. Now, the president could be as provocative, 273 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 2: he'd get in peached to be does this, But he 274 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 2: would be perfectly constitutional if he asked the FBI director 275 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 2: to look at every pending case the FBI is looking into, 276 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 2: perfectly constitutional. If he looked at everything the DOJ is doing, 277 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: it's perfectly constitutional. The dj does not operate on a 278 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 2: special island. I must have missed that in the Hillsdale 279 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 2: online course Federalist Paper's course where Alexander Hamilton was going 280 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 2: on talking about, well, the Attorney general is kind of 281 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 2: its own president, and the FBI kind of does its 282 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 2: own thing. 283 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 3: And guess what. President Trump does not know this. 284 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 2: He knows this philosophically, but he knows it personally because 285 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 2: that fourth the branch of government destroyed his first term, 286 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 2: was the reason he did not get reelected in twenty 287 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 2: twenty and is the reason why he faced seven hundred 288 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 2: years in federal prison. President Donald Trump is counterattacking the 289 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: fourth branch of government that tried to stop him over 290 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 2: the last decade. This is the fourth brand that waged 291 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: war on the sovereign and that is the key. So 292 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 2: the next the big question, that's the big question, how 293 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: many branches governed? 294 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 4: Article? 295 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 3: That's fine. 296 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 2: The next big question, though, is well, who is the 297 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 2: sovereign exactly who's in charge of this place? Do you 298 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 2: notice that when we fire a federal worker, it's like 299 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 2: we're going to fire like the archbishop of Phoenix or 300 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 2: something like. It's like unbelievable, Like they're totally untouchable, Like 301 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 2: you can't do that. 302 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 3: Why who made them that? 303 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: They they are in some sort of holy realm that 304 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 2: we can't ask the question, well, what do you do here? 305 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 3: Why do you exist? What is your job? You can't 306 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 3: say that. 307 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 2: No, Instead, we have to act as if they're the untouchables. Literally, 308 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 2: and if you listen to the media coverage carefully, it's 309 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 2: like we work for them, when no, it's. 310 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 3: Not over way, they work for us. 311 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 2: Because our document starts morally clear, we the people of 312 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 2: the United States, not the we the usaid. You know, 313 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: purple hair gi hotties that are sending money to Kazakhstan 314 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 2: to trans the kids. Right, that's not how it works actually, 315 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 2: And these sound like such fundamental, basic questions, But we're 316 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 2: about to get down to the root of the matter. 317 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 2: You know why, because our leaders have prolonged the inevitable 318 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 2: for decades. 319 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 3: George W. 320 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 2: Bush did not have the moral clarity or the Gusto 321 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 2: to pick this fight. In fact, he grew the leviathan 322 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 2: and grew the administrative state. We have new agencies because 323 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 2: of Republican presidents. So this has been a fight that 324 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 2: has been delayed for far too long. 325 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 3: And this is where it is all heading. 326 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: And so when it comes down to who is the sovereign, 327 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 2: it comes down to, well, we, the American people, elected 328 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 2: a president to be able to do the job. And 329 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 2: it still baffles the mind where I hear in some 330 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 2: of these meetings when I'm in DC, you can't fire 331 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 2: these federal workers. You could put them an administrative leave. 332 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 3: And how many of you guys in your corporate career 333 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,959 Speaker 3: or you run a business, what could ever operate that way? Nothing? 334 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 2: And yet we put the federal government in a completely 335 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 2: different bucket for. 336 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 3: No good constitutional reason. 337 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 2: And then that goes to the final question, and really 338 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 2: the big question that ties to the other two, which 339 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,919 Speaker 2: is is the president in charge of the executive branch? 340 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 2: And this is known as the vesting clause of Article 341 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 2: two of the US Constitution, which is all authority is 342 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 2: invested in a in a president. That's it pretty simple, 343 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 2: one sentence a lot there, and so yes, the president 344 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 2: has the authority to say usait, you don't go your anymore. 345 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 2: He has the authority to send Elon Muskag a Tomahawk 346 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 2: missile into every single federal agency. By the way, how 347 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 2: entertaining is this. It's like one of the greatest things ever. 348 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 2: I want you to understand. What's going on here is 349 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 2: that you have Elon, who I just have grown to 350 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 2: just adore. He's become a friend. I think that when 351 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 2: the history books are written, he's going to go down 352 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 2: as one of the most interesting, consequential business titan political 353 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 2: figures ever to exist. So here's a guy that has 354 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 2: more money than you could ever imagine. He could buy Spain. Literally, 355 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 2: you look it up. He could buy Spain. Okay, not 356 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 2: a joke, like I think the GDP of Spain. It's 357 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 2: like one hundred fifty billion dollars. You could just you know, 358 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 2: buy it. And that's like a portion of his wealth. 359 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 2: And he's literally sleeping on the floor of the Eisenhower 360 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 2: Executive Office building. And it's not just him. Here's the 361 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 2: best part. He has this platoon of the super geniuses. 362 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: And I mean like super geniuses. I mean these guys 363 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 2: look make Mensa look like you know, they don't know 364 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,200 Speaker 2: what they're talking about. And he'll walk into these federal 365 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 2: agencies and he'll be like, where are the passwords? How 366 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 2: do you send an email? How do you do the accounting? 367 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 2: Has eye ever looked at the books? Here? 368 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 3: Just one example, he did. 369 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 2: The Social Security kind of peripheral audit that there's like 370 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 2: one hundred forty year old still getting Social Security checks. 371 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 2: I can just see the New York Times art you know, 372 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 2: headline Elon Musk, so cruel cuts off payments to one 373 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 2: hundred and forty year olds. You can just see the 374 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 2: headline right now. 375 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 3: How dare he? 376 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: If any of you guys are one hundred and forty, 377 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 2: I want to meet you and you can come on 378 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 2: my show for the record. So, by the way, if 379 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 2: you think our social security roles are messed up, how bad. 380 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 3: Do you think our voter rolls are? Just makes you 381 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 3: think so? 382 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 2: But Elon Musk is getting down to the heart of 383 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 2: the matter. Why it's so simple. Elon Musk sees the 384 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 2: world very clearly because Elon Musk has actually built things, 385 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 2: and so for him it does not compute. It's like 386 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 2: a failure to launch in his mind. Where if at 387 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 2: Tesla if he wants to get rid of ten thousand people, 388 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 2: he can get rid of ten thousand people at SpaceX. 389 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 2: If he wants to get rid of that employee and 390 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 2: get rid of that employee in DC. You get rid 391 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 2: of bad employees by putting them in charge of the 392 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 2: CDC and running off your public health guidelines. You fail upwards, 393 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 2: that's what you do. You actually ascend by failure. It's 394 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 2: a gravitational pull in the wrong direction. And so it 395 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 2: is a cultural sea change top to bottom that we 396 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 2: are experiencing, and they're gonna fight with everything they possibly can. 397 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 2: If you think they fought hard to prevent President Trump 398 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 2: from reobtaining office, this is way worse than they actually 399 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 2: thought this was going to go. They thought it would 400 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 2: be like mass deportations. Notice that, like no one's talking 401 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,120 Speaker 2: about that anymore. Yeah, sure, take them go away. God, 402 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 2: But this doge thing, it's like all the controversial stuff 403 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 2: that we thought was gonna be big fights kind of 404 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 2: gets go on on the on the you know extras, 405 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 2: which by the way, is a brilliant strategy by President Trump. 406 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 2: Might I add, because everyone's talking more about Elon than 407 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 2: President Trump, and President Trump's is able to kind of 408 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 2: not be attacked for the first time in a decade. 409 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,959 Speaker 2: It's pretty smart, right, and Elon I think feeds off 410 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 2: of it. It's like a life force thing to him, 411 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 2: it's the whole whole thing is just phenomenal. And so, 412 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 2: but the reason they're fighting so hard on Doge and 413 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 2: on what we are experiencing is we actually have a 414 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 2: chance to do the thing that people thought that could 415 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 2: never get done, which is we actually have a chance 416 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 2: to reorient the ship back to the founder's intent, to 417 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 2: restore the three branches of government, to articulate what Article 418 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 2: two actually is. And I think we have a shot 419 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 2: at doing it. Article one is the hardest because Congress 420 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 2: is a disaster. But I think the Supreme Court is 421 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 2: actually willing to hear this out for the first time 422 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 2: in a generation. I think the Supreme Court is now 423 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,479 Speaker 2: willing to hear the arguments. What do you mean you're 424 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 2: an independent agency? No, No, you're on an inpendent agency. 425 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 2: You serve under Article two. And we've seen with some decisions, 426 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 2: the Chevron Deference decision, the EPA decision, the courts are 427 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 2: signaling that they're ready for these monumental type cases and 428 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 2: what that means everybody is that the administrative state Leviathan, 429 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 2: this regime that has been swallowing our freedom and liberty 430 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 2: post Woodrow Wilson. For the first time, we can reverse it. 431 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 2: We can go back to where we came from. But 432 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 2: it's not just gonna happen because of one election. It 433 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 2: will only happen with a free citizen read demanding it 434 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 2: out of your leaders, with vocal support on a daily basis, 435 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 2: educating the masses of what's really going on. And I 436 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 2: believe we have a shot at doing it because we're 437 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 2: able to communicate to millions of people in a moment's 438 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 2: notice without having to go through the Washington Post. I'm 439 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 2: able to open my phone right now, I could tweet 440 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,199 Speaker 2: to millions of people, or post something on Instagram or Facebook, 441 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 2: on any of the guardians of the censors. Elon Musk 442 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 2: is able to do these X spaces at midnight where 443 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 2: he's just rambling for a couple hours, but all the 444 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 2: thing he's like going through documents talking about all the 445 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 2: waste that he found, and literally like five million people 446 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 2: are listening to these things. That's more than the CNN 447 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 2: Airport audiences for a decade, And he just goes through 448 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 2: this because now we can go direct to consumer. But 449 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 2: let me clarify that we can go direct to citizen. 450 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 2: And that's the true revolution that it's occurring, is that 451 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 2: we are taking the bold and courageous move that is 452 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 2: going to put a lot of people's lives and fortunes 453 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 2: and sacred honors at risk to say subject no more 454 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 2: citizen because we have lived as subjects for the last 455 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 2: couple of years, whether we realize that or not, we 456 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,719 Speaker 2: have not been citizens, which is co rulers or co 457 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 2: authorities of our own nation. And that's where the Trump 458 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 2: thing gets way bigger than Trump. And honestly, God bless 459 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 2: this guy for being the man in the arena that 460 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 2: Teddy Roosevelt as a we talked about having the courage 461 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 2: and the stamina. God bless him for not taking the 462 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 2: deal where they said, you know, don't run for president, 463 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 2: and just being king maker and doubling down, getting shot, 464 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 2: his whole business empire nearly taken from him, and now 465 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 2: getting into what is the most high stakes fight constitutionally, 466 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 2: morally and civilizationally. And you guys know this, Europe is 467 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 2: not going to save a free society. Europe has gone. 468 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 2: It's a husk of its former self. We got the 469 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 2: Chinese Communist Party rising up. If it's not us, it's nobody. 470 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 2: As doctor Arnet said, it is the last best hope, 471 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 2: and it's only us if we can actually win the 472 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 2: domestic war first, if we can restrain this beast that 473 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 2: has been slowly taking over every one of our ways 474 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 2: of life over the last couple decades and especially the 475 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 2: last one hundred years, and then I want to talk 476 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 2: about one other thing about this, and then we could 477 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 2: do I think they said questions at some point. 478 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 3: I don't know. 479 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 2: The format is this, which is that I'm a big 480 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 2: believer in God's providence over our nation. I believe that 481 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 2: God had his hand on Donald Trump, and I believe 482 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 2: that God is a hand in this country. 483 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 3: I really believe that. 484 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 2: And I believe that, as the founders did, that there 485 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 2: is a providential element to all of this. And I 486 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 2: remember after Donald Trump was displaced from office in the 487 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,120 Speaker 2: twenty twenty election, we were all is the country over 488 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 2: and we believed through faith, as it says in Romans 489 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 2: eight twenty eight, that God will use all things for 490 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 2: good for those who love him, and that maybe there 491 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 2: is a plan here that we don't understand. And I 492 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 2: know a lot of you know this, and few people 493 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 2: say it publicly, but I think it's worthy of a 494 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 2: teaching to our kids, especially because we thought it was 495 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 2: the worst thing. But now we look back, we say, honestly, 496 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: exile might have been really good for us. Those four 497 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: years off might have actually been grace, not judgment. Like 498 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 2: those four years where we weren't in control of everything 499 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 2: actually made us stronger and tougher, made us have more resolve, 500 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 2: made us find out what we're really made out of, 501 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 2: made us shrink our ranks away from the people that 502 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 2: were Summer soldiers, that were Sunshine patriots. Go We told 503 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 2: those people, go away. We'll call you back when everything's fixed. 504 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 2: I think President Trump and exile, when he faced the 505 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 2: entire power of the federal government, became a stronger person, 506 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 2: and not just him, but his senior staff that was 507 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 2: around him, from Steve Miller to Susie Wiles, this whole team. 508 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 2: They were around the table in Bedminster, New Jersey. I 509 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 2: was not there, but I. 510 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 3: Know about it, very, very intimately. 511 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 2: When President Donald Trump was joking and playing Phantom of 512 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 2: the Opera, drinking diet coke, when all of a sudden, 513 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,959 Speaker 2: his phone rang and they said, you're indicted. And at 514 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 2: that moment, I mean, it's never happened for in American history. 515 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 2: And then this avalanche of indictments came after that, and 516 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 2: Jack Smith launched, you know, the lunatic thing, and his 517 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 2: staff hadn't had a choice do you jump ship or 518 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 2: do you lean in. I think that's a lesser appreciated 519 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 2: element of all this is the people that stood by him, 520 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 2: his inner team, Because people say, Charlie, how are they 521 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 2: so well prepared for all of this? 522 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,120 Speaker 3: Who is doing all this work? Who's really in charge? 523 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 3: Gave Trump's in charge? 524 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 2: Okay, But he's empowered the people, his lieutenants that were 525 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 2: around him when he got that phone call on Benminster, 526 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 2: New Jersey. He's empowered the people that were around him 527 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 2: when his arraignment was read to him, and he said, 528 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,479 Speaker 2: if we ever get power back, you know what to do. 529 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 2: You're going to listen to the voters and we're going 530 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 2: to go ten out of ten velocity right out of 531 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 2: the gate. What you are seeing is the pent up 532 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 2: of an entire community of people, about a couple dozen 533 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 2: people that saw their boss get shot, that saw the 534 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,439 Speaker 2: president and our entire country, in my personal opinion, literally 535 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 2: come millimeters away from the country disintegrating into chaos, oblivion, 536 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 2: and discorder. What I hate to say, civil war, but 537 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 2: I think we all know that it might have gone 538 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 2: to that. And it makes us really consider as the 539 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 2: history books are written that, boy, the Democrats should have 540 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 2: let us win in twenty twenty, that them doing what 541 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 2: they did in the twenty twenty election zucker boxes mail 542 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 2: in ballots might go down as one of the dumbest 543 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 2: things the Democrat Party has. 544 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 3: Ever done, because. 545 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 2: What they have to reap write now is a completely 546 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 2: different conservative movement. It is completely different. It is three 547 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 2: point zero. It is one that play to win. It 548 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 2: is one that is well staffed. It is one that 549 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 2: understands the odds and the stakes. And we saw what 550 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 2: we were up against. We saw it intimately, and we 551 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 2: looked over the abyss we said, no thanks, We're going 552 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 2: to go back to restore this beautiful country that we love. 553 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 2: And that's where all of this comes together. And I 554 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 2: believe you guys have an obligation to continue to support 555 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 2: Hillsdale College to fight for a free society, because that's 556 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 2: really where this is all going to be connected. My 557 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 2: role these next couple of years. I'm not going in government. 558 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 2: I have no role in the government. I'm an advisor, 559 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 2: I'm a friend, I'm a fighter, I'm a warrior. I'm 560 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 2: going to keep on doing the grassroots, moving with young people. 561 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 2: Most importantly, I'm going to keep on trying to keep 562 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 2: people informed what's happening here, so this thrust, this moment 563 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 2: does not get lost, because this is a once in 564 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 2: many lifetimes opportunity, a moment to reclaim what has been 565 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 2: given to us that we did not earn, that we 566 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 2: do not deserve, to get us back on the path 567 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 2: of the divine providence that the founders talked about in 568 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 2: our birth certificate, the Declaration of Independence. And it's only possible, 569 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 2: in my opinion, thanks to Hillsdale College and all the 570 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 2: work that you guys do here. Thank you, and let's 571 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 2: do questions if time or last, Thank you, Thank you, 572 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 2: Thank you everybody. 573 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 3: Okay is the questions? Okay, we have a format for that, great. 574 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 5: Miss Thank you, mister Kirk. 575 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 3: We now have time for Q and A. 576 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 5: If you have a question, please raise your hand and 577 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 5: wait for a microphone to be brought to you. 578 00:29:47,760 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 3: There's some over here. Hi Charlie. 579 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 6: My name is Owen Andrews, and I'm a professor at ASU, 580 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 6: which you mentioned is the Harvard the West. 581 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. 582 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,959 Speaker 6: I like to add the idea that these state universities 583 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 6: are also part of that bureaucratic state, and i'd like 584 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 6: to ask for your help with ASU. You've already done 585 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 6: a great job by coming out and to under our students. 586 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 6: I think you change the election. But there's a lot 587 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 6: more work to do. 588 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, there is. 589 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 2: And let's just kind of go in some of the 590 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 2: details what President Trump's going to try to do from 591 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 2: the top down. Number one, eliminate the Department of Education 592 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 2: and get completely rid of it. 593 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 3: And it never should have existed. It should not exist 594 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 3: right now. The second of which is you have to 595 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 3: stop the flow of money. This is where enforcement's going 596 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 3: to come in. 597 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 2: Right now, I bet ASU is already in violation of 598 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 2: the president of President Trump's executive order. 599 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 3: Would you agree with that one hundred percent? 600 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 2: So now it's going to come down to an enforcement 601 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 2: question where President Trump signed an executive order saying no 602 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 2: tax payer money is going to go to any school 603 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 2: that teaches critical race theory, DEI transgender ideology, which obviously 604 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 2: ASU does right. They have entire departments dedicated to this. 605 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 2: And so it's now going to come into the enforcement 606 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 2: of a couple test cases saying no, you're not going 607 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 2: to get federal money, pel grant money, research money, any 608 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 2: subsidized student loans for that. That's only going to solve 609 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 2: it partially. And this is why a free citizenry is 610 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 2: so important. Is we need to ask the question of 611 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 2: these bloated state institutions. Their financial model is actually completely 612 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 2: corrupted if you take out subsidized student loans and the 613 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 2: over certification of what education has actually become. This's why 614 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 2: Hillsdale is so important is that Hillsdale. Hillsdale refuses to 615 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 2: scale to you know, just be an as one hundred 616 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 2: thousand kids on campus, because then you lose what college 617 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,440 Speaker 2: actually is, which means partnership. I can answer that question now, 618 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 2: doctor un for the record, it means partnership because you 619 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 2: lose that community. And so, in my opinion, onion phase 620 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 2: two and three needs to be an all out campaign 621 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 2: understanding that these colleges have become massive, bloated bureaucracies in 622 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 2: their own states. But also even more importantly, they're training 623 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 2: factories for the administrative state. And two they are peatrie 624 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 2: dishes for all the worst ideas that then metastasize into 625 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 2: corporate America, law enforcement, military, so on and so forth. 626 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 2: And the other point I'll make is just you look. 627 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 2: You go to Hillsdale College. Do you notice how aesthetically 628 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 2: beautiful it is. It's a beautiful campus. Did you know 629 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 2: that In a lesser appreciated executive order, President Trump on 630 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 2: day one sign an executive order saying build beautiful buildings. Again, 631 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 2: it was executive order for all federal bureaucracies. Now you 632 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 2: can laugh, but I encourage you next time you're in 633 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 2: DC to drive by the Department of Education. It looks 634 00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 2: how it operates. It looks like a like a drawer cabinet. 635 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: It looks like a file cabin I should say. It 636 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 2: doesn't point up. There are no circles. It's simply squares. 637 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 2: It looks like a place where widgets are made. 638 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 3: Because that's what they think education is. 639 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 2: They thinks you're just kind of a widget and a 640 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 2: big system to serve the administrative machine. Nothing to be glorified, 641 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 2: nothing to wonder, nothing to pursue, no philosophy to contemplate. 642 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 2: But no, they look at themselves as carpenters, whereas doctor 643 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 2: Arn would say, educators are more like gardeners, where you 644 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 2: let the kid grow into what they can become. 645 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 3: Yes, next question, Hi, Charlie. 646 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 7: I have a sophomore at Hillsdale, and but before I 647 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 7: get to my question, I just have to tell you 648 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 7: that we've been Turning Point supporters long before we were 649 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 7: Hillsdale supporters. About six or seven years ago, we saw 650 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 7: you at University of Why. You were there with Anna, 651 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 7: Paulina Luna and Off Certatum. 652 00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 3: I remember that. 653 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, this was the part when they didn't shut 654 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 7: you down, which I think they did recently. So I 655 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:23,319 Speaker 7: was I wanted to ask something about Trump's recent comments. 656 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 7: I mean, I totally understand the Gulf of America and 657 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,760 Speaker 7: where he's going with that. And he's an incredible negotiator. 658 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 7: I mean, he's probably the most brilliant negotiator out there, 659 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 7: and I think a lot of things he does or 660 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:41,880 Speaker 7: says are negotiating tactics. But sometimes I get a little concern. 661 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,879 Speaker 3: So it's only been six weeks, I know. 662 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 7: And so I just thought, when it comes to like 663 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 7: Canada being the fifty. 664 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 3: First date, Oh no, He's definitely serious. 665 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 7: Okay, okay, and then I know you went to Greenland 666 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 7: with Don Junior. More serious okay, and my yeah, I'll 667 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 7: say my Danish relatives are not real happy about that. 668 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 7: And then this whole Gaza like take it. I'm just saying, 669 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 7: I trust him, but I'm getting some imperialistic. 670 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 2: You're you're super sweet, thank you. So no, no, I 671 00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 2: mean that that's great. 672 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 3: I hear that. 673 00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,280 Speaker 2: I'm not going to speak on behalf of the administration Canada. 674 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 2: You know, we will let that one be Gaza. I'm 675 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 2: gonna show my friend Josh Hammer, Josh, you're speaking to 676 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 2: more about all this right Israel and all that, So 677 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 2: I will yield to the expert. Josh will handle that extensively. 678 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,479 Speaker 2: Greenland I will defend actually because I think Greenland makes 679 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 2: a lot of sense for a lot of different reasons. 680 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 2: It has incredible raw rare earth, natural mineral deposits, It's 681 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 2: geopolitically really situated. China wants it, Russia wants it. And 682 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 2: also we've been trying to get Greenland for well over 683 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,480 Speaker 2: one hundred years, actually one hundred and fifty years. And 684 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 2: I could tell you, having has it visited Greenland with 685 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 2: Don Junior, it's one of the most beautiful places I've 686 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 2: ever been in more ways than one. I will just 687 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 2: kind of caution any if you like imperialistic. Let me 688 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 2: say this is that President Trump is a deal maker. 689 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,520 Speaker 2: He's a negotiator, and you ask for the moon, and 690 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:24,760 Speaker 2: if you get Greenland in return, maybe the next National 691 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 2: Leadership seminar can be in Nook. 692 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 3: But go in July, don't go in January. 693 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:37,319 Speaker 5: So yes, ma'am, hi, I'm another supporter from the thank 694 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 5: you Clay state of Washington. So what do you think 695 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 5: the chances are that Trump will revoke the other earthshaking 696 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:53,560 Speaker 5: executive order from JFK, the one that allowed government employees 697 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 5: to unionize. 698 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 2: That is so I actually don't have insight into that. 699 00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,799 Speaker 2: But let me first give Trump credit for revoking a 700 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,160 Speaker 2: separate executive order that I did not mention, which was 701 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 2: verre boten and untouchable. My friend Jeremy Carl, who's written 702 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,760 Speaker 2: the best book on anti white racism. You're talking tomorrow, right, Jeremy, 703 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 2: He's amazing, which is that President Trump reversed the executive 704 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 2: order requiring affirmative action for hiring practices in the federal government. 705 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 2: That one deserves incredible credit. That took so much courage 706 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,239 Speaker 2: to do, and no one's talking about it because he's 707 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 2: doing so much other stuff. Understand that the affirmative Action 708 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,319 Speaker 2: regime was never passed by Congress. It was done by 709 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 2: executive order saying that we're only going to hire in 710 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 2: federal hiring practices based on skin color, not merit, because 711 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,440 Speaker 2: of executive order. I can't speak on the unionization one. 712 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 2: I'd have to look more into that, but I wouldn't 713 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,280 Speaker 2: be surprised if it's being contemplated. But if a president 714 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 2: does it, a president can undo it. As you can 715 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,240 Speaker 2: see by usaid that was done by executive order by JFK. 716 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 2: Why can't you just fold it into the state department? 717 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 2: So okay, I think we have time for one or 718 00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:56,879 Speaker 2: two more. 719 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 4: I'm ready to run through a brick wall after this 720 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 4: speech here, so real quick. We're in Arizona, home to Intel, Microchip, 721 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 4: some of the big tech companies. What's your thought, if 722 00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,840 Speaker 4: anyon on shorting manufacturing, What are some of the pain 723 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 4: we're going to have to go through to bring some 724 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 4: of this back? Any thoughts or ideas on that. 725 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good question. 726 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 2: I think that President Trump has alluded to this and 727 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,839 Speaker 2: I think that the current economic nonsense that has been 728 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,280 Speaker 2: handed to us by the previous let's just say, easy 729 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,719 Speaker 2: cheap money regime is that there might have to be 730 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,400 Speaker 2: a moment to take some cough syrup metaphorically economically before 731 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 2: we can get to some wellness. I mean, our economist 732 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 2: friend doesn't think of soft landing as possible. That you 733 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 2: guys debate that amongst yourselves. However, I will say this 734 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 2: that President Trump using tariffs is getting a very very 735 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,879 Speaker 2: bad rap in some financial circles or markets. But it's 736 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 2: a forcing function to readomicile labor and industry back to 737 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,320 Speaker 2: this country. And in order to actually have a country, 738 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 2: you have to you have to make things, not just 739 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 2: be a series of hedge funds in tech companies and 740 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 2: import all your plastic from China. And I'll give you 741 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 2: just one example. We don't make vitamin C in this 742 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 2: country anymore. We don't make our necessary pharmaceuticals in this 743 00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 2: country anymore. You cease to be an independent, autonomous, sovereign 744 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,720 Speaker 2: country if you're dependent on a nation five thousand miles 745 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 2: away to be able to get basic goods and necessities. 746 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 2: So how much pain there will be I don't know. However, 747 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 2: I will say there are a lot of major companies 748 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,719 Speaker 2: that already talking about redomiciling the production of their assets 749 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 2: or their goods into the interior of the United States, 750 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,799 Speaker 2: which is then how you circumnavigate or you circumvent the 751 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 2: tariff is if you make it in the United States. 752 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 2: So all right, last question, Yes, yes, ma'am. 753 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 3: We now have time for one more question. Hi, mister Kirk, 754 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 3: thank you for your speech tonight. 755 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 4: So I'm excited to hear about the youth, the thirty 756 00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 4: and under, and I'm glad we're playing offense. 757 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,000 Speaker 3: What do you if you speak about the old guard, 758 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 3: the Mitch McConnell's, the Paul ryants. 759 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 7: I feel like they've gone quiet, and I'm a little 760 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 7: worried about it. 761 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys are a paranoid group. Come on, it's 762 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,359 Speaker 2: like you're always looking for something. 763 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:14,839 Speaker 3: I like it. 764 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 2: Look, there's a new generation that's rising in DC, and 765 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,920 Speaker 2: if that concerns you, I want to give you some comfort. 766 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 2: This next generation is the type of person that has 767 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,240 Speaker 2: the character of a Hillsdale College type student. 768 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 3: I want you to look at the type person I'm 769 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:30,760 Speaker 3: talking about. 770 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 2: You have a press secretary that's twenty seven years old 771 00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,439 Speaker 2: named Caroline Levitt, who's taken on the press every single 772 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,280 Speaker 2: day in an elegant and amazing way. You got Stephen Miller, 773 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,960 Speaker 2: who's in his young thirties running all the domestic policy 774 00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,720 Speaker 2: and running the entire immigration department of the entire federal government. 775 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 2: You have a next generation of people. Jade Vance is 776 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 2: the youngest Vice president since Eisenhower and one of the 777 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 2: youngest vice presidents in American history. 778 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:56,959 Speaker 3: Jade Vance is. 779 00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 2: I think forty or forty one years old, and he 780 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 2: just turned forty, right, he just turned forty. And so 781 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 2: this next generation of Conservatives is operating with urgency and 782 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,240 Speaker 2: is taking over DC for the better. The old guard 783 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 2: is going to do everything they possibly can. I mean, 784 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell, I'm not I'll let you guys fill in 785 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,320 Speaker 2: the blanks. I think it's very disappointing for this reason. 786 00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 2: I have much stronger opinions on Mitch McConnell than what 787 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 2: I'm about to say, but I'll give you one. 788 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:28,280 Speaker 3: That is very agreeable. It's very disappointing that. 789 00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,799 Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell for years would go around and preach to 790 00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,880 Speaker 2: all of his Senate Republican colleagues we must stick together. 791 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,520 Speaker 2: We must stick together. I need your vote. We must 792 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:45,280 Speaker 2: stick together. But now in circumstances where we need him 793 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,919 Speaker 2: to keep the conference to stick together, he's the odd 794 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,719 Speaker 2: man out. And I think that tells us a lot 795 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:56,280 Speaker 2: about Mitch McConnell. Okay, In closing, everybody, Hillsdale College is amazing. 796 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,319 Speaker 2: You know that this is a fight for the most 797 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:01,280 Speaker 2: ultimate thing we. 798 00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 3: Want in November. We want to keep those victories going. 799 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 2: Thank you, guys for your belief and our work at 800 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 2: Turning Point and what doing at Hillsdale College. 801 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:11,839 Speaker 3: Honor to be here.
