00:01:24.000Make sure you listen to our exclusive interview with Tucker Carlson.
00:01:28.000I encourage everyone to check that out.
00:01:29.000It's one of my favorite interviews we have ever done on the Charlie Kirk Show podcast.
00:02:01.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:05:04.000Right now in Washington, D.C., just moments ago, Senate Republicans have approved a $1.2 trillion green energy infrastructure bill.
00:05:16.000That is what the Senate Republicans have been focused on.
00:05:20.000Now, all laws passed by the legislative branch need somebody to enforce them, to oversee their implementation.
00:05:32.000So, for example, if there was an environmental regulation bill, it would go to the Environmental Protection Agency or the Employment Prevention Agency, otherwise known as.
00:05:43.000If there was a border security bill, it would go to the Department of Homeland Security or Border Patrol.
00:05:49.000If there was a tax cut bill, you might remember during the tax cuts, Steve Mnuchin was front and center.
00:05:58.000If there was a bill around funding of the Department of Defense, Lloyd Austin would be front and center, or Jim Mattis was front and center.
00:06:07.000If there was a bill around foreign diplomacy, Mike Pompeo was front and center.
00:06:14.000So Senate Republicans worked overnight.
00:06:18.000They worked really hard to make sure they dishonored your vote.
00:06:24.000So the first thing that should have just kind of been an alarm, that should have been a little bit of a concern for Senate Republicans, is they should have went through the public debate and also the recognition that they were going to give a certain cabinet secretary a trillion-dollar slush fund.
00:06:55.000So who oversees the $1.2 trillion slush fund?
00:06:59.000Well, I'm here to tell you right now that your Republican senators just made Pete Boot Edge Edge king.
00:07:08.000That's right, the five-foot-five Alfred E. Newman looked alike, technocrat, never said anything inspiring, transportation secretary, has just been made one of the most powerful people in American government.
00:07:22.000Why would Senate Republicans do something like that?
00:07:25.000Why would Senate Republicans go out of their way to push power to Alfred E. Newman?
00:07:33.000Now, if you don't know who Alfred E. Newman is, I have Mikey here.
00:07:35.000He's not laughing because he doesn't know who Alfred E. Newman is.
00:07:39.000He grew up in a world without mad magazine.
00:07:43.000This is one of the, they know TikTok, which we are going to cover how the White House has been having, let's just say, interesting characters coming and doing TikTok videos.
00:07:53.000So let's talk about what's actually in the bill.
00:08:00.000Do you know that this infrastructure package is larger than the Obama stimulus that almost every single one of these Republicans said was too big?
00:08:10.000So these Republicans said, oh, Obama's a big spender.
00:08:28.000John Solomon from justthenews.com has a great article on this.
00:08:32.000The bill includes a mandate for vehicle manufacturers to install drunk and impaired driving prevention technology as a standard feature inside of the new vehicles.
00:08:46.000So basically, the government can come in and turn off your car if they think you're impaired.
00:08:51.000The legislation contains a $118 billion bailout for the Highway Trust Fund, which is currently funded primarily through federal taxes on gas and diesel fuel.
00:09:01.000As the text of the bill does not specify a revenue source, funds would just be transferred from the Treasury General Fund to the Highway Trust Fund.
00:09:10.000You do know that every single year as well, we have infrastructure and transportation spending as part of the general fund of our budget.
00:09:19.000Senate Republicans don't care about that.
00:09:22.000Senate Republicans have decided to make Pete Budag the czar of a vehicle miles travel tax.
00:09:29.000A pilot program will be created for a vehicle miles travel tax, which is a system for taxing drivers based on their annual vehicle mileage, is hidden away in the bill Section 13002 entitled the National Motor Vehicle Per Mile User Fee Pilot.
00:09:47.000Remember when Pete Budejej floated out that idea earlier this year during his confirmation process and Republicans got very upset?
00:09:55.000Now, again, I'm not an expert, but I do know that North Dakota has a fair amount of oil and natural gas.
00:10:01.000Do you think this will help oil and natural gas exploration or hurt oil and natural gas exploration if you are taxing people driving by the mile?
00:10:10.000It also includes a cryptocurrency provision.
00:10:14.000It allows the IRS to report requirements for brokers of cryptocurrency transactions.
00:10:20.000What does that have to do with infrastructure?
00:10:24.000Instead, all of the decentralized movement around currency, which I fully support, by the way, Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan and Wells Fargo and the power grabbers on Wall Street, they're very upset that all of a sudden there might be alternative ways to transfer wealth and actually challenge the dollar.
00:10:44.000Now, we just got a breaking news alert.
00:12:36.000You're going to get someone a lot worse.
00:12:38.000The question is, did he make a deal to resign if they go easy on him on the nursing homes?
00:12:43.000And the real question is, what about his book?
00:12:47.000Did you know that if you shop at Nike, they turn around and give your hard-earned dollars to pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the Population Council?
00:13:20.000Left-wing corporations are subverting our nation and our republic by taking money from conservative customers and giving it to radical organizations that support abortion, gun control, and critical race theory.
00:13:33.000You have another vote, a second vote at the checkout line, which is why there's a massively important organization called Second Vote that comes in.
00:15:51.000We got a lot of red states listening on radio right now, and they're wondering why their Republican officials have decided to just kind of make Pete Buttigieg king.
00:16:01.000Like, oh, let's, you know, here's a good idea.
00:16:03.000Let's make the most unimpressive cabinet secretary who basically thinks he was built in a laboratory to be president by the Silicon Valley companies.
00:16:14.000Let's make him the most important person in Washington, D.C.
00:16:17.000But let's focus on Cuomo for a couple minutes.
00:16:18.000I'm going to play Cut 30, just the news report.
00:17:38.000It's just such a philosophical difference that we have with someone like Andrew Cuomo, where he thinks the heavy hand of government is the reason he got elected.
00:17:47.000I'd love for him to go read the original draft of the New York Constitution way back in the 1780s, where it was about liberty and the people and pursuing virtue and creating strong families.
00:18:02.000But am I, I mean, there's some politicians that I think are treated unfairly.
00:18:07.000I mean, with this kind of me too thing, if this is the new standard, Joe Biden should resign, by the way.
00:18:11.000Joe Biden has been credibly accused of the same things that Andrew Cuomo has been accused of.
00:18:15.000But by the way, so have so many of these Senate Republicans as well.
00:18:19.000Unfortunately, when you get these highly egotistical, narcissistic people in office or positions of power, they're going to act in morally questionable or degenerate ways.
00:18:33.000I'm more worried about what they do with their power, like actual political power.
00:18:41.000And I'm not making an excuse, obviously, for Andrew Cuomo.
00:18:46.000I mean, I think he should go, especially for what he's done with the nursing homes.
00:18:49.000But the thing that no one's going to talk about, the thing that fired me up the most that got almost no backlash is who writes the book in the middle of the crisis.
00:18:58.000Could you imagine if Winston Churchill wrote a book in the middle of the German Blitz?
00:19:06.000Oh, yes, coming out this afternoon is Winston Churchill's book, Leadership and Crisis in the Midst of the Blitz here on the British Broadcasting Corporation.
00:19:15.000Could you imagine Winston Churchill publishing a book in the middle of a crisis?
00:19:24.000Andrew Cuomo, leadership lessons in crisis from COVID-19.
00:19:29.000While the pandemic was still going and lockdowns were still happening, he had time to go publish a book.
00:19:35.000But I do think this is a sobering lesson for a lot of people, not just politicians, is that it's a good lesson of life that you can feel as if you are running the world.
00:20:27.000When he turned away the USS Mercy ship, he was the center of the world.
00:20:32.000People were floating him as the last-minute presidential pick because Joe Biden was senile.
00:20:40.000You can go from the top to the bottom really quick.
00:20:42.000It's important to keep yourself anchored on things that matter.
00:20:45.000Political power really isn't one of them.
00:20:50.000In 1857, the SS Central, otherwise known as the Gold Ship, sank with 9.1 tons of gold on board, valued at $2.1 million.
00:21:00.000That is a modern-day equivalent to hundreds of millions, the greatest American treasure ever discovered at sea.
00:21:05.000Today, Noble Gold, a California company, really good people with pristine reputation, has a share of these gold coins available to their clients.
00:21:15.000Over 7,000 gold coins, mostly $1, $5, and $20 gold coins from 1840, 1857, were recovered from the SS Central America shipwreck.
00:21:25.000Most of these coins from the ship of gold were quickly acquired by private collectors when the coins were first brought to the market in early 2000.
00:21:32.000Now, Noble Gold's clients can get this unforgettable part of American history at a fair and affordable valuation.

00:22:11.000Dr. Larry Arn from Hillsdale College, where we have a partnership, you guys should check it out, Charlie FOR Hillsdale.com.
00:22:17.000He has a great expression where he says, you could tell a lot about a person based on what they love, based on what they care the most about.
00:22:28.000Great leaders love things that are good and true and beautiful.
00:22:32.000Great leaders throughout history prioritize things that matter, like Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Winston Churchill, Marcus Aurelius.
00:22:42.000Leaders that are questionable, at best, will say they prioritize the right things, but privately be conflicted.
00:22:51.000The ones that you really have to look out for make power and political prestige their ultimate value, their ultimate goal.
00:23:02.000So Andrew Cuomo made power the most important thing in his life.
00:23:12.000At age 24, Andrew Cuomo became an aide to his father, almost chief of staff type.
00:23:20.000He was a brass knuckle enforcer of his father's agenda.
00:23:26.000He climbed the ranks of New York politics, eventually became housing secretary under Bill Clinton in the Clinton administration, and then eventually ran for governor unsuccessfully and then ran for it successfully in 2008.
00:23:44.000And ever since, I don't know if it was 2008 or 2009, we get the years.
00:23:49.000He's been governor of New York for quite a while.
00:23:52.000Ever since he's enjoyed every moment of it, people who overly enjoy being in charge politically, usually you should have some caution towards those people, especially in a state as dirty and as corrupt as the state of New York.
00:24:13.000Andrew Cuomo has outlasted many attempts against his political future.
00:24:26.000And Andrew Cuomo has ruled New York almost like an Italian city-state.
00:24:33.000Founding Fathers actually wrote extensively about Italian city-states in the Federalist Papers.
00:24:38.000It was one of the few places they could actually point to of small R Republican-style government being tried.
00:24:45.000And Andrew Cuomo thought of himself as the czar of the state of New York.
00:24:52.000And I don't think Andrew Cuomo, in his moments of most vulnerable paranoia, ever thought that it would be his advances towards women that would be what would take him down.
00:25:03.000He'd say, listen, I'm just going to explain away.
00:25:32.000He wanted to try to push Harry Potter down in the importance of the central canon of Western civilization.
00:25:39.000And he wanted to be known as the man who was able to manage the crisis, which he didn't.
00:25:44.000He did a horrendous job, and also write a book.
00:25:48.000This is what he wrote in his book: while the crisis was still going on, people who call themselves progressives must be examples of why Americans should trust us.
00:25:57.000Their service must be honorable and productive.
00:26:00.000They must be willing and able to make hard choices to affect change and deliver results.
00:26:05.000If they fail to do that, or one reason or the other, they set the progressive cause back and they give Americans more of a reason to distrust us.
00:26:12.000He writes on page 256: I'm part of the system because I want to change the system.
00:26:18.000You need to be part of the system to be the most effective in changing it.
00:26:21.000But don't ever suggest that I am part of the failure in the system.
00:26:24.000I consider myself a counter-politician.
00:26:27.000That may sound like a nuanced difference, but to me, it's all the difference in the world.
00:26:32.000Page 239, he says, accountability matters.
00:26:36.000If you don't want to be accountable, you shouldn't be in a government position.
00:26:38.000Well, I guess you have now lived that out, Mr. Cuomo.
00:26:42.000You don't want to be accountable, and you're no longer going to be in a government position.
00:26:46.000He says, I've learned something as I have gotten older.
00:27:33.000And yes, the replacement will be worse.
00:27:36.000But it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be more corrupt.
00:27:40.000Corrupt machine-style politicians like Andrew Cuomo, the corruption of the George Washington Bridge, the corruption of the nursing home scandal.
00:27:47.000Andrew Cuomo is going to have to find a new job.
00:27:50.000Don't be surprised, by the way, if he resigns and then re-enters into politics in this kind of come from behind type saga.
00:27:59.000When you make power the most important thing in your life, it usually doesn't end well.
00:28:04.000Okay, back to politicians that are making terrible mistakes.
00:28:08.000Senate Republicans have decided to pass a $1.2 trillion spending bill.
00:28:12.000I told you I wouldn't lose sight of these Republicans, even in this breaking news day.
00:28:48.000Now, maybe I'm out of touch, but I don't think the voters in South Carolina that just voted for Lindsey Graham, I don't think the voters in Texas, I think actually, John Cornyn voted against this.
00:29:03.000I don't think the voters in Maine that came out for Susan Collins or the voters in North Carolina that came out for Tom Tillis.
00:29:15.000I don't think they said, you know what, we want we want to make Pete Buttigedge the most powerful person in Washington, D.C.
00:29:20.000I don't think that was actually in the mandate to govern.
00:29:24.000I don't think that's why people went and knocked on doors and made phone calls.
00:29:29.000Bill Haggerty was on Tucker Carlson's program last evening.
00:29:34.000He said this infrastructure bill is a gateway to Bernie Sanders' Transformation of America package.
00:29:39.000If that's true, which I believe it is, why are Senate Republicans voting for this?
00:29:48.000This bill has become rather obvious what it really is.
00:29:51.000It's been shielded with the veneer of bipartisanship, but what it really has become is the open gateway to lead right into this $3.5 trillion package, the Bernie Sanders Transformation of America package that they're trying to set up.
00:30:04.000And they gave us a 2,700-page bill in only a few days to look at it.
00:30:09.000And then the very afternoon that we got the CBO score that tells what the bill actually cost, it fell short by a quarter of a trillion dollars.
00:30:17.000In Cut 20, Senator Bill Haggerty says that Republicans under Trump were criticized for not respecting our institutions, but now Democrats move to federalize our elections and the beginning of court packing.
00:30:27.000And I want to reiterate what I said earlier.
00:30:30.000Your Republicans that you put into office, and I'm going to, let's read off the list.
00:30:37.000Roy Blunt, Missouri, Richard Burr, North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capital, West Virginia, Bill Cassidy, Louisiana, Susan Collins, Maine, Deb Fisher, Nebraska, Lindsey Graham, South Carolina, Chuck Grassley, Iowa, John Hoeven,
00:30:52.000North Dakota, Mitch McConnell, Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski, Alaska, Rob Portman, Ohio, James Risch, Idaho, Mitt Romney, Utah, Dan Sullivan, Alaska, Tom Tillis, North Carolina, Mike Crapo, Idaho, Kevin Kramer, North Dakota, Roger Wicker, Mississippi.
00:31:13.000They've just made Pete Buttigieg an oligarch.
00:31:17.000Here, Pete Buttigieg, who's a bunch of money, a bunch of power, a bunch of phrases that you can interpret.
00:31:26.000Is that what Republicans should be doing?
00:31:29.000To go make a 5'5 want to be tech oligarch who wants to be president more than anything else's life, which, by the way, timeout.
00:31:36.000Anyone who wants to be president that much probably shouldn't be near political power.
00:31:39.000It's like Andrew Cuomo, destined to fail.
00:31:42.000They just handed Pete Buttigieg a $1.2 trillion wire transfer larger than the Obama stimulus that includes the following provisions.
00:31:52.000It grants select cabinet secretaries the authority to fully fund select infrastructure projects with taxpayer dollars by waiving cost-sharing rules.
00:33:02.000In fact, we're going to play a clip from Senator Rampaul.
00:33:05.000But generally, the Senate Republicans are just kind of there to be part of the phrase good old boys club doesn't resonate as much as it used to, but that's really what it is.
00:33:16.000It's a country club with legislative movement every once in a while.
00:34:04.000Okay, is it possible to avoid digestion problems by eating only healthy organic food?
00:34:08.000It's a nice thought, but unfortunately, it's just not possible.
00:34:10.000You see, your natural ability to digest food declines with age.
00:34:13.000This is because your body produces fewer enzymes, which are the proteins responsible for digesting food.
00:34:18.000Fewer enzymes mean more difficulty digesting food.
00:34:21.000Even organic foods won't provide enough enzymes to properly digest them.
00:34:25.000Especially true if you cook your food because cooking kills enzymes.
00:34:28.000This is where supplementing with a high-quality enzyme supplement can be a huge help.
00:34:32.000I personally recommend Mass Zymes by Bioptimizers.
00:34:35.000I've told you about Bioptimizer's great magnesium product for months now.
00:34:39.000And Mass Enzymes, also from Bioptimizers, is the best-in-class supplement loaded with a full-spectrum enzyme for digestive protein, starches, sugars, fibers, and fats.
00:34:48.000Taking Mass Enzymes daily can help top off your enzyme level and replace the enzyme your body is no longer producing, which means you'll be able to eat all sorts of delicious foods and digest them quickly and effortlessly.
00:34:59.000Verified buyer Mike C gave Mass Enzymes a five-star rating saying, quote, it has helped me address digestion and health issues.
00:35:05.000If you want to eat all the same foods you have loved your life but have recently struggled to digest, try Mass Enzymes risk-free and see what improvements you notice.

00:35:37.000Even if it was about roads and bridges and tunnels and towers, even if that was the case, there's problems with this.
00:35:46.000You're handing Pete Buttigieg the power.
00:35:50.000And I'm all for actually, I'm for an ambitious infrastructure package, trust me.
00:35:55.000I would love to have our airports completely redone.
00:35:58.000The problem is you use union labor, the graft, the corruption, and by the way, the aesthetic of these buildings are the ugliest things you've ever seen.
00:36:07.000So the way we do infrastructure in this country is a disaster.
00:36:11.000And then, of course, the Democrats are going to say, okay, instead of infrastructure, let's use this as a gateway drug to try to have a green energy revolution in our country.
00:36:20.000That's what's so stunning to me is that senators who are from these red states that have oil and natural gas production, they're the ones that are the ones pushing for this.
00:36:32.000How about Way Back in the Way Machine?
00:36:36.000So because we have such a dishonest media that doesn't do any journalism, I have to rely on my life experiences, which are very limited, by the way, to go kind of remember things.
00:36:49.000So I woke up early this morning and I said, okay, I remember this.
00:36:54.000I remember Trump sent out this tweet about infrastructure and everyone on the right lost their mind.
00:36:58.000You can't do infrastructure, too much money.
00:37:07.000Mitch McConnell, in 2016, right after Trump won, McConnell says he doesn't want Trump to propose, quote, trillion-dollar stimulus for infrastructure.
00:37:18.000The Senate top Republican, Mitch McConnell, said he wants to avoid a trillion-dollar stimulus to fund an infrastructure package, sending out a marker for the next Congress as lawmakers prepare to work with President-elect Donald Trump.
00:37:30.000Trump pledged to have millions of our people to work by rebuilding highways, bridges, and tunnels and other infrastructure.
00:37:37.000But Mitch McConnell says what I hope to clearly avoid, and I'm confident we will, is a trillion-dollar stimulus package.
00:37:48.000You just voted for a trillion-dollar stimulus package.
00:37:54.000So let me get to, and Paul Ryan said that the infrastructure package, no-go.
00:38:00.000It says here that there's some evidence that Trump's infrastructure plan remains a work in progress.
00:38:08.000But Mitch McConnell says we want to avoid that.
00:38:10.000Nope, we just want to cut corporate taxes.
00:38:12.000What we want to do is make Google and Facebook and Amazon have more resources to continue their corporate oligarchy.
00:38:22.000So Mitch McConnell vehemently came against Donald Trump's infrastructure package, which, by the way, was clean, non-green energy, legit investment in our country.
00:38:33.000But then Mitch McConnell and his gang of other 19 Republicans have just come out and they said, you know what?
00:38:41.000Which, by the way, can I just say something hilarious?
00:38:43.000Mitch McConnell didn't even want to give his wife the money because his wife would have been transportation secretary under this infrastructure package.
00:39:14.000Well, because they're going to get their wives and their kids and their family members will be treated very well by the lobbyist class because they were good and obedient members of the cartel.
00:39:26.000By the way, I'm not the only one saying this.
00:39:27.000It'd be one thing if every Republican voted for this.
00:39:29.000Listen to what Senator Ted Cruz has to say about this, what Senator Michael Lee has to say about this.
00:39:33.000You know what frustrates me is that I spend time in Real America.
00:39:36.000I avoid Washington, D.C. at all costs.
00:39:38.000Mike will tell you, Producer Andrew, I can't stand it.
00:39:40.000The attitude, the language, the ruling class mentality, I love being in America.
00:39:55.000They don't do sly, deceptive, serpent-like deals in the back room.
00:39:59.000Oh, we won't do infrastructure with Trump, but we're going to do infrastructure with Joe Biden to make Pete Buttigieg like a Russian oligarch over our transportation program.
00:40:25.000There is no excuse why this bill should have passed.
00:40:28.000Pete Buttigej is now the most powerful person in Washington, D.C., outside of the president, Joe Biden, and Lloyd Austin.
00:40:35.000He's just been given $1.2 trillion to spend, basically as he sees fit, because the bill allows that to happen.
00:40:43.000So what did Pete Buttigieg have to say about these senators before?
00:40:47.000Remember Cut 32 when Pete Buttigieg said so-called Christian conservative senators right now in the Senate are blocking a bill to raise the minimum wage when scripture says that whoever oppresses the poor taunts their maker.
00:40:59.000So basically, Pete Buttigieg was calling Senate Republicans heretics.
00:41:03.000This is who your leaders have just empowered.
00:41:08.000And so-called conservative Christian senators right now in the Senate are blocking a bill to raise the minimum wage when scripture says that whoever oppresses the poor taunts their maker.
00:41:23.000Remember recently, Pete Buttigieg said that the necessity of the infrastructure bill is to push the green agenda and getting cars off of the road.
00:41:40.000And Republicans just were eager and flocking towards this.
00:41:47.000So Pete Buttigieg is now taking a victory lap because he now knows they are one step closer to eradicating oil and natural gas to push the green agenda once and for all.
00:42:07.000Transportation is the biggest sector in our economy when it comes to emitting greenhouse gases.
00:42:12.000So to me, that means we have to be the biggest part of the solution.
00:42:15.000And what's exciting about that, even though it's daunting, is that we can also create a lot of jobs as we go, whether it's jobs making the electric vehicles of the future that are going to provide clean transportation, or whether it's the jobs in the transit systems that we're funding that are going to help give people alternatives and take cars off the road.
00:42:45.000Well, you can thank Senate Republicans for that.
00:42:48.000Instead of standing for sound currency, instead of standing for a stable dollar, Senate Republicans basically are now saying inflation, so what?
00:44:52.000I think for middle-class workers to know that their dollar is not going to decrease in value month to month actually creates order and it creates societal stability.
00:45:04.000If you want unrest in the streets, just destroy people's currency.
00:45:08.000If you want families to fall apart, destroy people's currency.
00:45:13.000We are seeing inflation go up dramatically and the creation of new dollars, thanks to Senate Republicans, is part of this.
00:45:22.000By the way, just so you know, they're not done.
00:45:24.000Just so you know, this is a warm-up act.
00:45:26.000They're just, they're just, this is nothing more than a stretching routine.
00:45:32.000Lindsey Graham and many others are negotiating a $3.5 trillion continuing resolution.
00:45:47.000So, just for all of you keeping score at home, the first stimulus package, a couple trillion dollars.
00:45:53.000The next stimulus package, another trillion dollars, another continuing resolution of $3 trillion, and then another stimulus package of a trillion dollars, and then an infrastructure package of a trillion dollars and $3.5 trillion on top of it.
00:47:00.000And when you add up the spending from December 2020 to now, with the Biden budget request, with the Democrats' tax and spend reconciliation proposal, with this infrastructure bill, with the so-called COVID relief bill, and with the emergency spending in December, you hit a whopping $9.5 trillion.
00:47:25.000And this all comes from a theory called modern monetary theory.
00:47:30.000And some people on the right are embracing this.
00:47:33.000I'm talking about legitimate conservatives too, not the fake conservatives that ask for your vote every couple of years and then betray their voters.
00:47:40.000It's tempting to want to do this, right?
00:47:45.000I believe in stable currency, and I believe a gold standard or a metallic basing of currency is fundamental because I want a longevity for our country.
00:47:57.000Currency and moral decline, both of which in foreign wars and bad immigration policy, are the reasons why countries fall apart.
00:48:18.000So happy to reflect where you want the culture to go.
00:48:22.000And the original founding of our country, by the way, the founding fathers wrote extensively about licentiousness.
00:48:29.000Nations fall also because of uncontrolled immigration.
00:48:32.000Well, you could thank Republicans for that.
00:48:33.000They're just chomping at the bit for another amnesty deal.
00:48:37.000Then the other one is currency manipulation.
00:48:40.000This is one where I remain to be a realist.
00:48:46.000I remain as someone who does not believe that you can print wealth, that creating more dollar bills, by definition, creates more economic activity.
00:48:55.000Noah Webster Dictionary in 1806 had a compendium.
00:49:20.000Benjamin Rush, who is phenomenal, by the way, addressed to the people of the United States in January 1787.
00:49:28.000So this is nine months before the ratification of the Constitution on September 17, 1787, where he says, quote, in opposition to monarchy, we forgot that the temple of tyranny, I want you to, the language they use.
00:51:08.000And what our Senate Republicans have been doing is at every single level immoral.
00:51:14.000I am going to create money with nothing backing it for my own purposes, not for my voters' purpose, to deteriorate and diminish the value of the dollar.
00:51:27.000That is not being prudent, nor is it being disciplined.
00:51:32.000There's another quote here, and by the way, I'm reading here from this wonderful document from the Claremont Institute.
00:51:40.000But 15 pages of excerpts of original founding documents of the founding fathers warning what happens when leaders live outside of their means, when leaders or the government is not disciplined or they don't have the just restraints.
00:51:56.000Do you think that Senate Republicans are worried about the cost of living beyond one's means?
00:52:03.000James Monroe said in May of 1788: to form a government that shall shield you from dangers from abroad, promote your general and local interests, protect in safety the life and liberty and property of the peaceful and virtuous and the weak against the encroachments of the disorderly and the licentious.
00:52:23.000Patrick Henry said, from this situation, he could have furnished us with the instances in which licentiousness trampled on the laws.
00:52:33.000It's the Virginia Convention in June of 1788.
00:52:37.000It's right after the Federalist papers were written.
00:52:40.000The Founding Fathers were very clear that if you do not have the wise restraints, you will not be free.
00:52:48.000This is totally lost on Senate Republicans, by the way.
00:52:52.000JD Vance, who I have personally endorsed for the Ohio Senate race, who's a friend of mine, has said that the infrastructure bill has language that includes transportation equity in it, which can be applied to critical race theory.
00:53:07.000J.D. does a wonderful job explaining how the reconciliation bill is pretty much the reconciliation bill that is amnesty for 11 million illegals.
00:53:24.000It's just so frustrating to see these emails where people are saying, Charlie, I have a career, and now I'm being forced to take the vaccine.
00:54:09.000One of the lies about the founding fathers is that they were strictly small L libertarians, that they had no sort of commentary or respect for a transcendent moral order.
00:54:26.000And I'm going to kind of parlay this into fiscal policy.
00:54:30.000We can obviously talk about it at a different time when it comes to moral type issues.
00:54:37.000For example, let me just tell you this.
00:54:39.000If Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, or John Adams saw Drag Queen Story Hour, they would mobilize the Minutemen.
00:54:48.000If Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, or Thomas Jefferson, or John Adams, would see what Joe Biden just invited into the White House, they would be displeased.
00:55:05.000And they wrote extensively about this.
00:55:07.000So one of the writings here: the characteristics of mild government are liberty without licentiousness and government without tyranny of a vigorous one, unanimity, consistency, and uniformity in the councils.
00:55:52.000And I think he actually made more progress back towards revival and greatness.
00:55:57.000There were just some strategic things that I think I would have done differently, not just me, but really thoughtful people would have done differently.
00:56:04.000And it's not just on him, the people around him and some of the sneakiness and also the virus and the handling of it and keeping Fauci around.
00:56:10.000But he was a phenomenal president, a phenomenal president, best president of my lifetime.
00:56:15.000But this cycle of civilizational decline is brought, of course, by a moral decline, then really bad immigration policies where you change, there's matter and there's form.
00:56:26.000So the form of a government is the Constitutional Republic.
00:56:30.000But then the matter is the actual people in the form of it, which are the culture, the language, the background, the history, the ability to assimilate.
00:56:37.000And if you change that too dramatically, then the country actually changes itself.
00:56:41.000The other one is currency manipulation and decline.
00:56:45.000Is that if you erode your currency, you're going to have civilizational unrest.
00:56:52.000And I would make an argument: our moral decline is directly related with our leaders' kind of indifference towards whether or not we have sound currency, whether or not our dollar means anything.
00:57:03.000And it only allows us to participate in these long-term debt cycles.
00:57:09.000Who cares if we steal from our children?
00:57:26.000Also, debasing our currency should be illegal.
00:57:31.000Let's go to JD Vance, who I teased in the earlier segment, how the infrastructure bill has language including transportation equity in it.
00:57:39.000So Senate Republicans, being eager participants in the civilizational decline cycle, they voted for a bill that has a phrase that says transportation equity in it.
00:57:55.000Oh, so this will be used against white people.
00:58:01.000Hey, guys, I'm reading through this new infrastructure bill, and it includes all these ridiculous references to things called transportation equity, which is basically just importing critical race theory into our nation's infrastructure programs.
00:58:13.000It's totally ridiculous, and it's obvious that Republicans have been had in supporting this bill.
00:58:17.000But then you realize that there's more on top of it because Nancy Pelosi has said, we're not going to support the infrastructure bill unless there's a reconciliation bill after it.
00:58:26.000Well, what's in the reconciliation bill?
00:58:28.000Turns out, amnesty for 11 million illegal aliens.
00:58:31.000You give those people permanent amnesty, you give them the right to vote.
00:58:35.000First of all, Republicans will never win another national election.
00:58:38.000But second of all, you're inviting millions more illegal aliens to come across the southern border by offering to legalize the people who are here right now.
00:58:46.000That's what your Senate Republicans voted for.
00:58:48.000I love the preamble to the Constitution because it's the beginning of the mission statement of our government and how we're supposed to live.
00:58:55.000We, the people, three transformative words, by the way, of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and my favorite, secure the blessings of liberty.
00:59:13.000Within that word security is almost an idea of defense.
00:59:16.000That's why I think President Donald Trump, the description of him as the bodyguard of Western civilization, was perfect.
00:59:24.000I mean, obviously, I said it in my RNC speech, but I think it was spot on because his idea was that I'm going to secure something transcendent.
00:59:32.000I'm going to then have to not just open up the floodgates so you can do whatever you want.
00:59:37.000No, I'm going to prevent the bad guys from taking what has been given to you.
00:59:42.000And JD Vance's big point was because the bill includes fast track to legalize immediate family members.
00:59:48.000If you illegalize 11 million more, you can get all their immediate family members as well.
00:59:54.000So, what do they mean by transportation equity?
00:59:56.000Will all the whites now have to pay higher tolls when they're driving on highways?
01:00:00.000Or maybe the white cars have to pay higher tolls?
01:00:03.000Well, the person to kind of figure that out is Pete Buttigieg.
01:00:07.000So, Senate Republicans, instead of doing the hard and the detailed work, instead of defending their voters, who, by the way, you know how many hundreds of thousands, and not millions, probably hundreds, estimate, hundreds of thousands of active service members in the military right now are not vaccinated, that live in Republican states, are going to be forced to be vaccinated against their will.
01:00:27.000Why are Republicans even having a conversation with Democrats while this is happening?
01:00:53.000It doesn't matter what the browser mode you have or your clear browsing history, your internet service provider can see every single website you've ever visited.
01:01:01.000And they can even sell your data to advertisers.
01:01:04.000That's why I use ExpressVPN to keep my online data secure and private.
01:01:08.000ExpressVPN makes sure your ISP internet service provider and third-party trackers can't see your online activity and location.
01:01:15.000It does that by rerouting your connection through a secure encrypted server.
01:01:19.000ExpressVPN is also the fastest and most trusted VPN on the market.
01:01:23.000That's why they've rated number one VPN by CNET.
01:01:26.000So protect your online activity today with the VPN that I trust to keep me private.
01:01:51.000CBS reports that migrants are testing for COVID have been overwhelming, and yet Senate Republicans, instead of actually trying to wave the flag and say we're not even negotiating, while we have 1.5 million, as many as 2 million people, we don't know the exact number, illegally crossing into the country.
01:03:43.000And I responded: I said, Your representatives should be focused on this and defending their voters and our veterans and our service members instead of passing massive spending bills.
01:03:52.000But honestly, they don't care about their voters.
01:05:35.000And it started, it started kind of because of the lockdowns, but it was an example of what happens when a leader, even in a comfortably Democrat state, defies his own orders and goes to French laundry, maskless with lobbyists, and the recall becomes a reality very quickly.
