00:01:28.000 Lots to cover today.
00:01:29.000 We hear it non-stop from the media, the Washington Post, and the Democrat Party.
00:01:35.000 Our democracy.
00:01:36.000 Remember, it's not just democracy, but it's our democracy.
00:01:41.000 Well, we are not a democracy.
00:01:43.000 We are a constitutional republic.
00:01:44.000 It's a very important distinction.
00:01:47.000 The differences are significant, but let's play this out for a second.
00:01:50.000 What is a democracy?
00:01:52.000 You would think a democracy allows people to vote.
00:01:56.000 It allows people to have a voice.
00:01:59.000 Democracy involves the consent of the governed.
00:02:03.000 Democracy allows people to use the pressure release valve when things get a little bit hot, a little bit spicy, that they can pull the lever and say, I don't like what's going on, or I do like what's going on.
00:02:18.000 I want that to continue.
00:02:20.000 One of the reasons why I make the distinction between a democracy and a constitutional republic is that far too often in modern times, what they call democracy is really a kleptocratic oligarchy that disguises itself as a democracy.
00:02:36.000 Pure democracy is something that we will never get close to.
00:02:40.000 Now, pure democracy sometimes is, hey, every single person is going to vote on every single measure and every single bill.
00:02:46.000 So we have a representative form of government and we have a constitution that our government is supposed to follow.
00:02:52.000 First Amendment, your right to free speech given to you by God.
00:02:55.000 Second Amendment, your right to bear arms.
00:02:57.000 Third Amendment, can't put soldiers in your home. 0.65
00:02:59.000 Fourth Amendment, they can't spy on you.
00:03:01.000 Fifth Amendment, Sixth Amendment, Seventh Amendment, all dealing with due process, speedy and quick trial, the right against self-incrimination.
00:03:10.000 And finally, of course, the Ninth Amendment, which is basically all of the things not mentioned here, does not necessarily mean that they're not rights or that you can't discount them as rights.
00:03:18.000 10th Amendment, all things that are not specifically mentioned are left to the states and to the people.
00:03:23.000 The Bill of Rights was built on the tradition of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, written in 1776 by George Mason.
00:03:31.000 That was the first kind of, let's say, American colony attempt to write down what then inspired the founding fathers as the addendum in 1791 after the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1787 to compose the Constitution plus the Bill of Rights.
00:03:52.000 What is a democracy?
00:03:54.000 One of the reasons that the media wants to make it seem as if that our democracy is under attack is that a lot of people think highly of the idea of voting.
00:04:05.000 We have not had a democracy for quite some time in this country.
00:04:08.000 We really have never been one, but we are closer towards the ruling of the few than the ruling of the many.
00:04:15.000 A majority of Americans want a border.
00:04:18.000 That doesn't mean you get one.
00:04:19.000 Majority of Americans want an end to our billions of dollars going to Ukraine.
00:04:25.000 That doesn't mean you get it.
00:04:26.000 Majority of Americans want a balanced federal budget.
00:04:29.000 It doesn't mean you get it.
00:04:31.000 No, it is closer to an oligarchy.
00:04:33.000 But the one component that would at least fit into this idea of democracy would be you get to vote for who you want to vote for.
00:04:46.000 It would be very hard to have any form or fashion of a democracy or representative government or consent of the governed if you are not able to either in a primary or a general election vote for the candidate of your choosing, especially if that candidate is leading in the polls and especially, especially if that candidate is a former president.
00:05:12.000 The party and the movement of democracy that is lecturing us about our democracy, they were the ones that did everything they possibly could to make sure that the Patriots of Colorado, the Patriots of Maine, the Patriots of Illinois, you're not allowed to vote for Donald Trump.
00:05:34.000 And remarkably, the Colorado Supreme Court agreed.
00:05:39.000 The Maine Secretary of State agreed.
00:05:42.000 A traffic court judge in Illinois agreed.
00:05:46.000 And all of this bubbled up to the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:05:49.000 Now, a lot of this was workshopped by the hyper-aggressive partisans of Andrew Weissman, the wargamers of Mark Elias, the people that they don't want to leave it up to chance.
00:06:04.000 They don't want to have to go into this November and even have a 1% chance that President Trump might return.
00:06:12.000 And it's important to remember, they thought that when Donald Trump left office on January 20th, 2021, he skipped the inauguration.
00:06:23.000 He got on the plane and flew down to Mar-a-Lago.
00:06:26.000 They thought they had him dead to rights.
00:06:28.000 They thought that was it.
00:06:30.000 The MAGA movement was over.
00:06:32.000 January 6th, impeachment, public opinion polls.
00:06:36.000 They thought it was done.
00:06:38.000 They had a planned series of raids, mass arrests.
00:06:41.000 Over 1,200 people were soon going to meet federal charges.
00:06:46.000 They thought they finally had the mandate to kill American populism, to kill American nationalism.
00:06:53.000 They saw an opening and they said, no way is this guy ever going to come back.
00:06:58.000 No way is this movement going to continue forward.
00:07:02.000 And it turns out a month after, two months, there were some signs of life in polling.
00:07:07.000 Donald Trump was still popular.
00:07:09.000 We started to get the other side of the story of what happened on January 6th.
00:07:12.000 How many feds were there?
00:07:13.000 Who planted the pipe bombs?
00:07:15.000 Why were the doors open from the inside?
00:07:19.000 What happened to Ashley Babbitt?
00:07:20.000 All of a sudden, there was some nuance that came into the story of January 6th.
00:07:26.000 Donald Trump did not give up.
00:07:27.000 We hosted Donald Trump at a massive rally in Arizona in summer of 2021.
00:07:34.000 Huge attendance.
00:07:36.000 Donald Trump was still the leader of the Republican Party.
00:07:41.000 And he's only consolidated and built upon that support for quite since that since that period of time, from East Palestine to going into Dairy Queens to McDonald's to winning the Iowa caucus to winning the New Hampshire primary to winning the Nevada caucus to winning the South Carolina primary.
00:07:58.000 And they thought that they could launch these salvos to prevent Donald Trump from ever becoming a general election candidate again.
00:08:08.000 Because if there's even a chance, these neurotic freaks on the left can't handle that.
00:08:16.000 Well, today, the United States Supreme Court issued a humbling opinion for these lawfare activists.
00:08:24.000 It's not over.
00:08:24.000 They're going to try another attack vector.
00:08:26.000 Now, we expected them to lose on this, but we did not expect them to get completely humiliated.
00:08:33.000 And today, Andrew Weissman, Keith Olberman, and the law-fair practitioners of cable news were humiliated.
00:08:43.000 The Supreme Court has delivered its judgment in Trump v. Anderson, the case resolving whether the Colorado Supreme Court can remove Donald Trump for being an insurrectionist.
00:08:53.000 In a unanimous 9-0 ruling, they ruled that Trump must remain on the ballot.
00:08:58.000 Now, if you dig further into the details, it's actually a bit more complicated.
00:09:02.000 While all the judges agree that Colorado went too far, just five justices, the five men, said explicitly that only Congress can enforce the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment, as opposed to the federal judges of the Department of Justice acting on their own at the federal level.
00:09:18.000 In other words, the only way to remove a presidential candidate from the ballot as an insurrectionist is for Congress to pass a law saying explicitly what causes a person to be labeled as an ineligible insurrectionist.
00:09:30.000 The three liberal women justices said the court went too far in saying this.
00:09:34.000 Amy Coney Barrett said that she wasn't going to join either side, just thought the court should just, quote, turn down the national temperature, whatever that means. 1.00
00:09:41.000 Basically, Amy Coney Barrett was trying to be the suburban mom voter.
00:09:47.000 Why can't we just get along, guys? 1.00
00:09:49.000 Stop fighting.
00:09:50.000 Let's turn down the national temperature.
00:09:51.000 Yeah, Amy Coney Barrett, you're living in the wrong time because there's going to be a lot spicier decisions coming up on your docket soon. 1.00
00:09:57.000 So you better buckle up and get ready to make some tough decisions.
00:10:01.000 For now, we can ignore any disagreements.
00:10:04.000 This is a massive blow to the left.
00:10:05.000 They overreached in typical comical fashion.
00:10:09.000 This isn't just a win for the Constitution.
00:10:11.000 It's also a political win.
00:10:13.000 Even very normal people are going to get the story that, quote, Democrats tried to take out Trump, and the entire Supreme Court, including the liberals, said this stunt was illegal.
00:10:23.000 Remember what we say: Trump is anti-fragile.
00:10:26.000 The desperate, flailing attempts to take him down are only making him stronger.
00:10:36.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:11:09.000 In America this year, only 5% of the island in Maui burned, but 95% of the island lost its power and cell service.
00:11:14.000 Even the 911 emergency service was down because they had no access to satellite communication backup.

00:11:38.000 In a democracy, it's simply the majority rules.
00:11:42.000 And what they say is a democracy, again, is actually an oligarchy.
00:11:46.000 In a constitutional republic, we are governed by an established set of laws.
00:11:51.000 In a republic, you have protection of individual rights, protection of property rights.
00:11:56.000 In a republic, we have rules.
00:11:58.000 We have very clear rules for engagement.
00:12:03.000 These rules are defined as who could become president.
00:12:06.000 What does it take to become president?
00:12:09.000 The 14th Amendment is a very broadly written amendment.
00:12:13.000 Part of it is terrific and awesome and moral and necessary.
00:12:18.000 Part of it involves getting rid of the national debt is something they've actually talked about.
00:12:23.000 Remember when they talk about raising the debt ceiling?
00:12:25.000 The question in front of us is: will the left stop?
00:12:30.000 No.
00:12:31.000 They've lost on this.
00:12:33.000 They're just going to try another 10, 15, 20 legal salvos against Donald Trump.
00:12:41.000 Let's play cut five, please.
00:12:43.000 A rare moment of unanimity on a usually divided court.
00:12:47.000 All nine justices of the Supreme Court agree that states cannot kick candidates off the ballot under the 14th Amendment.
00:12:55.000 And what the Supreme Court said is that states can't enforce that, that it requires Congress to pass a law to outline how that clause should be enforced, concluding very simply that responsibility for enforcing that part of the Constitution rests with Congress and not with the states.
00:13:15.000 Make no mistake here, though.
00:13:17.000 You guys deserve a lot of credit here.
00:13:18.000 The fact that the conservative movement was talking about removing Joe Biden from the ballot, that message was received.
00:13:26.000 They did not want to start a precedent where all of a sudden states could remove candidates running for federal office because that's where this was going next.
00:13:34.000 If the Supreme Court didn't do this, Texas, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, it just would have been a question of who was removed from more ballots.
00:13:43.000 And so even our talk about removing Joe Biden, probably they started to play this out in the nine-person internal meeting.
00:13:50.000 Clarence Thomas, Katangi Brown Jackson.
00:13:53.000 The argument was probably made, listen, if we don't go 9-0 on this, this will set an ugly precedent for years to come that states can just pick off any candidates that they don't like under whatever sort of guidelines, and that should be solely vested in Congress.
00:14:17.000 Let's play cut three, Jonathan Turley, play cut three.
00:14:22.000 There aren't any real dissents, so it does look like it is unanimous, at least on the result.
00:14:28.000 What they have a disagreement on is whether the court had to go as far as it did.
00:14:34.000 Now, the most practical result of this is that the voters will be able to vote for the candidate that they prefer.
00:14:42.000 This was a critical moment for this court in history.
00:14:46.000 It's sweeping.
00:14:48.000 There's almost no dissents.
00:14:50.000 And this is done for a reason.
00:14:52.000 They did not want to set the precedent.
00:14:54.000 But understand, we should enjoy this and celebrate it for 10 or 15 minutes.
00:14:59.000 And then they're going to try another five or six attack vectors.
00:15:04.000 We have not won the election.
00:15:05.000 By the way, there's all sorts of whispers about decertification if Trump were to win.
00:15:13.000 We need to make sure we win the House to prevent Democrats from not certifying a Trump victory.
00:15:17.000 They're going to do the exact same stuff that some people were thinking about doing on January 6th, 2021, legally sending it back to the states.
00:15:26.000 They're going to do it times 10.
00:15:27.000 Why?
00:15:28.000 Because that was originally in the Democrat playbook.
00:15:31.000 They will not stop.
00:15:32.000 By the way, we have to war game this out.
00:15:34.000 Do you think for a second that they're just going to certify a Trump victory, especially if Trump wins a plurality, not a majority with all these different candidates?
00:15:44.000 Have we wargamed that out in detail?
00:15:47.000 This is very important.
00:15:49.000 Polls this weekend showed Donald Trump stronger than ever against Joe Biden.
00:15:52.000 Donald Trump winning with Hispanics.
00:15:54.000 Donald Trump up 20 points with black voters, according to the New York Times Sienna poll.
00:16:00.000 And time is running out for the Democrats to pull Joe Biden.
00:16:03.000 Again, if there is a time to do it, he has never been less popular.
00:16:06.000 He's never been more compromised when it comes to battleground state electability.
00:16:12.000 You have the lawfare campaign that is slowing down as far as what will happen with Donald Trump coming this fall.
00:16:19.000 We got 50, 60, 70 major fights in front of us, but this is a big win.
00:16:25.000 9-0 is a triumph.
00:16:28.000 It puts the Twitter legal community on defense.
00:16:34.000 And just because you don't like somebody doesn't mean you could prevent Republican primary voters from voting for them in a primary.
00:16:44.000 Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.
00:16:48.000 If you deal with exhaustion, brain fog, mood swings, or food cravings, if you're constantly getting sick or simply lack the zeal you used to have in life, then I have some news for you.
00:16:57.000 While back, I found a liquid supplement called Strong Cell, and it changed my health in a very profound way.
00:17:03.000 I take it every single day.
00:17:05.000 Look, I knew I had to partner with them.
00:17:07.000 I did the research.
00:17:08.000 Google and look up online what happens when you mix NADH with CoQ10 and marine collagen.
00:17:14.000 It's simple.
00:17:15.000 Every area of your body has cells.
00:17:17.000 So if your cells are healthier, then you will also be healthier.
00:17:20.000 You don't have to take my word for it.
00:17:22.000 Listen to one of these testimonials.
00:17:23.000 After taking Strong Cell for six weeks, I found improvement in many areas, less shoulder pain, improved mental clarity, increased natural energy, and so much more.
00:17:30.000 I'm thankful that Charlie Kirk recommended this to his listeners.
00:17:33.000 Rebecca says, I absolutely love Strong Cell.
00:17:36.000 At first, I didn't think it would make much of a difference for my chronic fatigue, depression, and anxiety, but I thought I'd give it a chance.
00:17:41.000 I've tried to find depression meds for 10 years, and since you Strong Cell, I'm feeling better than I ever have on depression medication.
00:17:49.000 Customer for life, thank you, Charlie Kirk, for recommending this product.
00:17:52.000 So there it is.
00:17:53.000 You've heard from me directly and some of the users who have seen their lives changed by Strong Cell.
00:17:58.000 I personally recommend taking it every day for at least 30 days.
00:18:02.000 I take it every day before I go on the air, and it's helped me in more ways than I can even name.
00:18:06.000 Each of our bodies is very different.
00:18:07.000 So I would recommend you give the supplement at least two to three months to see the changes in your body.
00:18:13.000 Go to strongcell.com and learn more for yourself.

00:18:39.000 Let me read you a tweet here from Jenna Griswold.
00:18:42.000 Quote, I am disappointed in the U.S. Supreme Court's decision stripping states of the authority to enforce section three of the 14th Amendment for federal candidates.
00:18:51.000 Colorado should be able to bar oath-breaking insurrections from our ballot.
00:18:56.000 Keith Oberman has said, the Supreme Court has betrayed democracy.
00:19:01.000 Its members, including Jackson, Kagan, Sodomayor, have proved themselves inept at reading comprehension. 0.84
00:19:08.000 And collectively, the court has shown itself to be corrupt and illegitimate.
00:19:11.000 It must be dissolved.
00:19:12.000 If I said what Keith Olbermann just said, I would be attacked as a racist that Katangei Brown Jackson, Kagan, and Sodomayor can't read.
00:19:22.000 But that is Keith Oberman, who is on the left, so he gets to say whatever he wants to say.
00:19:28.000 Let's play some more tape here.
00:19:30.000 CNN has a complete meltdown over this today, and it's important to enjoy this.
00:19:35.000 It's just a battle victory while the war still looms.
00:19:40.000 Play cut eight.
00:19:42.000 You know, look, unfortunately for America, the court isn't necessarily wrong that this is the way the framers wanted it to be.
00:19:51.000 They wanted Congress, the people who are closest to their constituents, to be able to make the rules of the laws.
00:20:00.000 That doesn't change the fact that because of gerrymandering in the House and all kinds of other issues, they're not doing their job on a lot of these big issues.
00:20:09.000 Unfortunately for America, the court isn't necessarily wrong.
00:20:13.000 This goes down to the core promise of why we have a Constitution.
00:20:18.000 The Constitution spreads power over space and time.
00:20:23.000 It does not consolidate it where the Colorado Supreme Court allows the millions of people of Colorado or prevents them from letting their voice be heard.
00:20:34.000 Mike Davis joins the program.
00:20:36.000 Mike, when was the last time we had a 9-0 decision on a highly consequential, highly watched Supreme Court case, Mike Davis?
00:20:44.000 Well, I'd say it may be the last time that Jack Smith got unanimously reversed by the Supreme Court when he brought bogus corruption charges against a likely 2016 presidential or vice presidential contender, former Virginia Governor Bob McDonald.
00:21:01.000 The Supreme Court reversed the decision.
00:21:03.000 I guess it was eight to nothing.
00:21:04.000 It would have been nine to nothing, but Justice Calia passed away, but it was too late for McDonald.
00:21:09.000 Jack Smith destroyed his political career and destroyed his life.
00:21:13.000 And that's the same playbook that Biden and Garland and Jack Smith are running this time.
00:21:18.000 They brought back Jack Smith, who was banished to The Hague.
00:21:22.000 They brought him back to bring these bogus charges against President Trump for January 6th and for documents he's allowed to have under the Presidential Records Act.
00:21:30.000 This is part of the Democrats' lawfare and election interference, two bogus impeachments, four bogus indictments for non-crimes, illegal, unconstitutional gag orders.
00:21:39.000 They're trying to destroy Trump's businesses for non-fraud.
00:21:43.000 They're trying to take $100 million away from Trump for Gene Carroll's nonsense.
00:21:49.000 That all backfired, as we predicted at the Article III project over the last 20 months.
00:21:54.000 And so they threw their legal hail married. 0.94
00:21:56.000 They just tried to take Trump off the ballot because Democrats fear American voters.
00:22:03.000 And they just got body slammed nine to nothing by the Supreme Court.
00:22:08.000 So can you just go through some of the dynamics of what it requires to convince all nine justices?
00:22:15.000 In fact, stay right there, Mike Davis.
00:22:17.000 Donald Trump is coming up.
00:22:18.000 I want to get to Trump.
00:22:19.000 Let's cut to President Trump, please.
00:22:21.000 But a court shouldn't be doing that.
00:22:23.000 And the Supreme Court said that very well.
00:22:25.000 And I really do believe that will be a unifying factor because while most states were thrilled to have me, there were some that didn't.
00:22:36.000 And they didn't want that for political reasons.
00:22:38.000 They didn't want that because of poll numbers because the poll numbers are very good.
00:22:41.000 We're beating President Biden in almost every poll.
00:22:46.000 The New York Times came out yesterday with a very big poll for us.
00:22:50.000 So they didn't like that.
00:22:53.000 And you can't do that.
00:22:54.000 You can't do what they tried to do.
00:22:56.000 And hopefully Colorado, as an example, will unify.
00:22:59.000 I know there's tremendous support.
00:23:01.000 They brought our support up very strong in Colorado because people thought people in Colorado thought that was a terrible thing that they did.
00:23:10.000 And while we're on the subject, and another thing that will be coming up very soon will be immunity for a president.
00:23:16.000 And not immunity for me, but for any president.
00:23:19.000 If a president doesn't have full immunity, you really don't have a president because nobody that is serving in that office will have the courage to make, in many cases, what would be the right decision, or it could be the wrong decision.
00:23:34.000 It could be, in some cases, the wrong decision, but they have to make decisions and they have to make them free of all terror that can be rained upon them when they leave office or even before they leave office.
00:23:46.000 And some decisions are very tough.
00:23:48.000 I can tell you that as a president, that some decisions to make are very tough.
00:23:52.000 I took out ISIS and I took out some very big people from the standpoint of a different part of the world.
00:24:02.000 Two of the leading terrorists, probably the two leading terrorists ever that we've ever seen in this world.
00:24:09.000 And those are big decisions.
00:24:11.000 I don't want to be prosecuted.
00:24:15.000 Another president wouldn't want to be prosecuted for it.
00:24:18.000 It had a tremendously positive impact.
00:24:20.000 It stopped everything called.
00:24:23.000 And sometimes you have to make those, they were tough decisions.
00:24:25.000 Sometimes you have to make decisions like that.
00:24:28.000 When you make a decision, you don't want to have your opposing party or opponent or even somebody that just thinks you're wrong bring a criminal suit against you or any kind of a suit when you leave office.
00:24:39.000 I have that right now at a level that nobody's ever seen before.
00:24:42.000 I have rogue prosecutors and I have rogue judges.
00:24:46.000 I have judges that are out of control.
00:24:49.000 And it's a very unfair thing for me, but I'm serving perhaps as a sample to others of what should not be happening.
00:24:58.000 When you make good decisions, and in my case, the economy was great.
00:25:02.000 We didn't go into any wars.
00:25:03.000 We totally defeated ISIS.
00:25:06.000 We provided the largest tax cuts in history.
00:25:09.000 We provided the largest regulation cuts in history.
00:25:12.000 But think of it: no wars.
00:25:15.000 We beat ISIS 100% of the caliphate.
00:25:19.000 And there were no wars.
00:25:20.000 We did a job that was great, but maybe I wouldn't have done that.
00:25:24.000 The caliphate defeating them was very powerful.
00:25:27.000 It was going to take four years.
00:25:29.000 It took me four months.
00:25:30.000 But it was a very strong dictum that I gave.
00:25:34.000 I said, get them, defeat them.
00:25:38.000 End it.
00:25:39.000 We were fighting for 20 years against ISIS, and we did it very quickly.
00:25:43.000 I don't want to be prosecuted.
00:25:45.000 In that case, it worked out very well.
00:25:46.000 There will be some things that perhaps don't work out so well, but I don't want to be prosecuted because I decided to do something that is very much for the good of the country and actually for the good of the world.
00:26:00.000 The president shouldn't have that on his mind, and he has to have a free and clear mind when he makes very big decisions, or it's going to be nothing more than a ceremonial post.
00:26:12.000 You'll be president, it'll be a wonderful thing, and you won't do anything because you don't want to be hit by your opponent or hit by somebody else.
00:26:19.000 Because who wants to leave office and go through what I've gone through?
00:26:23.000 I'm being prosecuted by Biden, my opponent.
00:26:27.000 Because every one of these things, whether it's Fannie Willis or Bragg, these are local and state, but they're in total coordination with the White House.
00:26:38.000 You can't do that.
00:26:39.000 It shouldn't be done.
00:26:40.000 I mean, a thing like that.
00:26:42.000 In the case of the DA's office, they put one of the top people, maybe the second person, in the Manhattan DA's office to get Trump.
00:26:53.000 They had a Hillary Clinton lawyer leave the law firm, very prestigious big law firm, leave the law firm to go into the DA's office to get Trump, Pomerance.
00:27:05.000 It's the Pomerance.
00:27:07.000 So he goes in to become a prosecutor, worked for the Democrat Party and Hillary Clinton, goes in to prosecute Donald Trump at a local level in total coordination with the Department of Justice, meaning Biden.
00:27:20.000 And then you have the Fannie Willis, or as she would say, Fonnie, Fonnie, F-A-N-I, but Fonnie.
00:27:27.000 And she hired somebody, knew the person long before this horrible prosecution took place.
00:27:34.000 And she went out and she paid him an unbelievable amount of money, more money than he ever had dreamt possible, much more money than other people that do that for a living.
00:27:46.000 He never did it at all, had no experience in it at all.
00:27:50.000 And they had obviously a conflict.
00:27:52.000 We don't have to go into that, but they were able to get a lot of money because it was a high-profile person.
00:27:57.000 Me, I'm a very high-profile person.
00:27:59.000 So they were able to pay him close to a million dollars when he was not equipped to do the job. 0.70
00:28:05.000 And she's not equipped to do the job. 0.82
00:28:07.000 And that case should end immediately.
00:28:08.000 That case is so conflicted, nobody's ever seen anything like it.
00:28:13.000 And then you have Duranged Jack Smith, who's a Trump hater and represents all the Trump haters.
00:28:19.000 And he's going wild.
00:28:20.000 He's just a wild man.
00:28:21.000 He's been overturned unanimously by the Supreme Court.
00:28:25.000 Went after other people over the years. 0.75
00:28:26.000 He's a great failure. 0.99
00:28:28.000 But he's mean, he's nasty, he's unfair. 0.99
00:28:31.000 And the judges on these cases, they're all Trump haters.
00:28:34.000 Other than we have maybe one or two that I think can be fair.
00:28:38.000 But you look at New York, what's happened?
00:28:40.000 I mean, these people have tremendous hatred.
00:28:43.000 You can't do this to a president.
00:28:45.000 And again, I'm not talking about me.
00:28:46.000 I'm talking about in the future.
00:28:51.000 Hey, everybody.
00:28:52.000 There is an eagerly awaited release of Cabrini in theaters on March 8th, International Woman's Day.
00:28:56.000 It's an amazing film.
00:28:57.000 I saw it the other day.
00:28:59.000 It is incredible.
00:29:00.000 It's like the Godfather, but better.
00:29:01.000 From Angel Studios in Alejandro, Monteverde, award-winning director of Sound of Freedom, comes the powerful true story of Francesca Cabrini, an Italian immigrant who arrives in New York City in 1889 and is greeted by disease, crime, and impoverished children.
00:29:15.000 Cabrini is not merely a movie, it is a tribute to the spirit of women everywhere.
00:29:19.000 It tells the story of a trailblazer, a visionary whose tireless dedication to serving others transcends boundaries and inspire generations.
00:29:26.000 On this International Woman's Day, we can honor Cabrini's enduring legacy by celebrating the countless contributions of women throughout history.
00:29:34.000 Mark your calendars for March 8th and join me in theaters to experience the extraordinary journey of Mother Cabrini, a celebration of courage, compassion, and the triumph of the human spirit.
00:29:46.000 Keep going with President Trump, please.
00:29:59.000 The Army Corps of Engineers did it with me, and we did a great job.
00:30:04.000 And we had the safest border we've ever had, and now we have the most unsafe border anywhere in the world at any time.
00:30:10.000 There's never been a border like this at any country, anywhere in the world.
00:30:13.000 They would have fought with sticks and stones to stop the horrible situation that's occurring.
00:30:21.000 Our people can't stand it, and the people coming in really can't stand it because they're dying.
00:30:27.000 Many are dying on the trip up, and they're dying in the country.
00:30:30.000 And also, many of the people are criminals, and they're doing tremendous harm.
00:30:35.000 I call it migrant crime. 1.00
00:30:37.000 It's migrant crime. 1.00
00:30:38.000 It's a new category of crime.
00:30:41.000 They're hurting our country horribly.
00:30:44.000 And we've become a laughing stock all over the world.
00:30:46.000 So I say respectfully to President Biden, you have the authorization right now.
00:30:52.000 I did it.
00:30:54.000 I didn't go to Congress and say, do I have the right to close?
00:30:56.000 I fought Congress on it.
00:30:58.000 And again, this is a unifying factor.
00:31:01.000 Everybody now is together, and they can go after me as a politician.
00:31:06.000 They can go after me with votes, but they're not going to go after me with that kind of lawsuit that takes somebody out of a race who's leading in this case, but even if the person wasn't leading.
00:31:19.000 And I want to thank you all for being here.
00:31:21.000 Do we have any questions?
00:31:24.000 The poll numbers are massive for you going into Super Tuesday.
00:31:27.000 We found a lot of people who are agnostic to politics in general see these legal cases against you.
00:31:34.000 They see what how life was back under a Trump administration.
00:31:38.000 Do you think that's the key to pull some of these independent voters into this next election, seeing that the new cases are unfair, they have no merit, and also the poll numbers their life before Trump?
00:31:48.000 It's such an interesting question because historically a thing like what I've been going through would have hurt a political party or a political candidate terrifically.
00:31:56.000 You wouldn't even run.
00:31:57.000 You wouldn't be able to run.
00:31:58.000 You'd get out.
00:31:59.000 This has happened over many years, many times.
00:32:03.000 In this case, the poll show that I'm much more popular than I was before weaponization.
00:32:09.000 It's been weaponized like it's never been.
00:32:11.000 This is for third world countries. 0.98
00:32:13.000 This isn't for us.
00:32:14.000 Biden ought to drop all of these things.
00:32:17.000 And frankly, he may do better if he does, because people would say, wow, that was very reasonable.
00:32:20.000 Look, they're all the state, the city, and the federal, they're all coordinated.
00:32:26.000 Fanny Willis's lover spent hours and hours at the White House, I guess with White House Counsel and with DOJ, plotting out this plan.
00:32:35.000 Nobody talks about that.
00:32:39.000 They're all coordinated with the White House.
00:32:41.000 It's weaponization, never been done in this country.
00:32:43.000 It's been done in third world countries, banana republics, never in this country. 1.00
00:32:48.000 So I really believe what they should do is really go all the way, go out and stop all of this nonsense.
00:32:56.000 They're nonsense cases and everybody sees it.
00:32:59.000 You just look at Atlanta.
00:33:01.000 It's such an embarrassment to Georgia what's happening there.
00:33:04.000 But Jack Smith, I don't think is any better. 0.80
00:33:07.000 Letitia James is terrible.
00:33:09.000 She campaigned on I will get Trump, I will get Trump, and then it goes before a Trump-hating judge.
00:33:16.000 I mean, the whole thing is a rig deal, and the public understands it.
00:33:20.000 I'm lucky that I'm able to explain it to the public, because if you weren't able to explain it, the public wouldn't know.
00:33:27.000 They'd believe what they see.
00:33:30.000 So I don't want to win this way.
00:33:31.000 Look, I want to win based on my policies are better.
00:33:34.000 We're going to cut taxes.
00:33:36.000 We're going to get interest rates down.
00:33:38.000 You're going to be able to buy homes again.
00:33:39.000 I mean, you can't buy a home today.
00:33:40.000 The interest rates are so high.
00:33:43.000 I want to win on safe borders.
00:33:44.000 I want to stop wars.
00:33:45.000 I want to stop the war in Ukraine with Russia. 0.85
00:33:48.000 I want to stop what's happening in Israel. 0.99
00:33:51.000 Israel would have never been attacked if I were president.
00:33:54.000 Ukraine would have never, ever been attacked if I was president.
00:33:58.000 You wouldn't have had inflation.
00:34:00.000 Inflation was caused by high energy prices.
00:34:02.000 I had low energy prices.
00:34:04.000 I would have kept them there very easily.
00:34:06.000 And it probably maybe caused the war with Ukraine because Putin became rich all of a sudden.
00:34:12.000 It went up so much, and I watched President Biden talking about Putin.
00:34:16.000 Putin became very rich because at $100 a barrel, he's got so much money to fight a war.
00:34:22.000 At $40 a barrel, he doesn't have the money to fight a war.
00:34:25.000 But he wouldn't have done it anyway because I told him not to.
00:34:29.000 So I just want to thank all of you for being here.
00:34:32.000 I think it's a very big day for America.
00:34:35.000 I think it's a very big day for liberty.
00:34:37.000 And I think it's just a great day for this country.
00:34:41.000 Again, I hope it's unifying, like I think, but it is.
00:34:43.000 It's a big step toward unification.
00:34:46.000 I hope that the justices, because they'll be working on some other cases, but one in particular, presidents have to be given total immunity.
00:34:56.000 They have to be allowed to do their job.
00:34:58.000 If they're not allowed to do their job, it's not what the founders wanted, but perhaps even more importantly, it will be terrible for our country.
00:35:08.000 Thank you all for the time.
00:35:17.000 Are you going to support a 15-week federal abortion plan?
00:35:24.000 Okay, that was President Trump.
00:35:26.000 By the way, every single network took that live.
00:35:28.000 It was pretty remarkable.
00:35:29.000 Mike Davis, excellent.
00:35:30.000 Sorry to keep you waiting, but it was for a good reason.
00:35:32.000 Thanks so much, Mike Davis.
00:35:34.000 Thank you.
00:35:37.000 Thanks so much for listening.
