00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, Tana Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:01.000 We go through the latest leaks and then we ask the question, is this on purpose or not?
00:00:05.000 And we talk about the world reserve currency status.
00:00:08.000 And finally, Donald Trump at his best.

00:00:41.000 Buckle up, everybody here.
00:00:42.000 We go.
00:00:43.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:45.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:47.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:50.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:54.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:55.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:56.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:57.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:03.000 Turning point USA.
00:01:04.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:13.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:16.000 Brought to you by my friends, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage, 888, 888 1172 or Andrew and Todd.com.
00:01:27.000 There are some high-level leaks, some very consequential leaks that are really, it's making the Pentagon very nervous.
00:01:36.000 The national security apparatus is very nervous.
00:01:40.000 They're not addressing the actual specifics of what is being leaked.
00:01:46.000 Of course not.
00:01:46.000 No, they're going after the leaker.
00:01:48.000 They're going to find the leaker, it seems.
00:01:50.000 The FBI says they're close to identifying the leaker.
00:01:53.000 Of course, if you leak a Supreme Court decision, you don't get held accountable.
00:01:59.000 Dobbs.
00:02:00.000 If you leak a president's phone call, remember the whistleblower, Eric Shimarella?
00:02:07.000 Remember that guy?
00:02:08.000 Never held accountable.
00:02:10.000 Remember Donald Trump's tax returns illegally leaked?
00:02:13.000 That came on the front page of the New York Times.
00:02:16.000 Illegally leaked, never held accountable.
00:02:19.000 So leaks are supported.
00:02:21.000 They are popular by the national security apparatus, by the regime, unless they're leaking things they don't want you to see.
00:02:30.000 So I have mixed moral opinions on leaks, to be honest with you.
00:02:34.000 I do think that there is an argument some things need to be classified and confidential, that not everything needs to be open and transparent at that very moment.
00:02:42.000 You can't win a war if you're live tweeting your movements.
00:02:45.000 At the same time, I think the government has way overemphasized their ability to classify information, to use confidential categorizations, and then they just outright lie.
00:02:59.000 This is why I think generally what Snowden and Assange did, given the outright criminality of the American government, was pretty good.
00:03:08.000 I think Snowden, albeit, you know, broke the law.
00:03:13.000 I think that generally Snowden exposed a mass domestic spying operation, which was a moral good for humanity.
00:03:21.000 Do I think he should be held accountable?
00:03:23.000 I mean, there was some stuff that he leaked there that he probably shouldn't have leaked.
00:03:26.000 Julian Assange, the question is, how did he actually get some of this information?
00:03:30.000 But our government is in the business of lying to us, lying about us, misrepresenting their positions in geopolitics.
00:03:42.000 So the Washington Post spoke to a member of this online Discord discussion group.
00:03:48.000 Now, I have never used Discord.
00:03:50.000 I have no plans to use Discord.
00:03:53.000 Apparently, it's where a lot of video game discussions occur.
00:03:56.000 There's also a lot of gun and military themed communities, and you end up with a lot of actual military people.
00:04:04.000 I wouldn't know the first thing about Discord if you asked me about it.
00:04:08.000 I'm told it's very popular, and I'm sure there's some great people that use it, and there's some not so great people that use it, whatever.
00:04:14.000 But apparently, the leaker of this information was initially typing up hundreds of documents by hand to impress members of the chat group.
00:04:23.000 But then they were not sufficiently impressed, so he started to post images of the documents directly to prove that they were real.
00:04:31.000 So based on the narrative the Washington Post is saying, is that there were a group of teenagers on this online Discord application, which is just a chat group, basically.
00:04:42.000 It's an iteration of Reddit or 4chan or Telegram, kind of in its own community.
00:04:48.000 These are people that very well might be very into Call of Duty or online video games, just speculating.
00:04:54.000 And, you know, they have these kind of one-off conversations.
00:04:56.000 They might be playing video games together, and then they have these conversations together.
00:04:59.000 And this guy's like, oh, no, I have access to classified information.
00:05:02.000 And people apparently in the online chat were like, oh, yeah, prove it.
00:05:06.000 And this person then started to leak it.
00:05:09.000 So, quote, the original leaker was the undisputed leader.
00:05:13.000 He enforced a pecking order and expected the others to read closely the classified information he had shared.
00:05:20.000 When their attention waned, he got angry.
00:05:24.000 Late last year, the original leaker fired off a message to all the members of the server he had spent nearly an hour every day writing up.
00:05:35.000 Quote, these long drawn-out posts, his would-be pupils were more interested in YouTube videos about battle gear.
00:05:42.000 So according to the narrative that the media is putting forward, and this may or may not be true, this seemed to just be kind of an attention-seeking person with access to classified information.
00:05:53.000 Now, according to the Washington Post, whoever had access to all these documents would have had to undergo months of background checks, which is technically true, of course.
00:06:02.000 Well, those background checks aren't doing a lot of good if this was able to happen.
00:06:06.000 With huge amounts of diplomatic and military intelligence leak because of some 20-something who wanted to feel important and got mad when teenagers would not pay attention to him.
00:06:17.000 There's a bigger picture here, though, that we need to talk about.
00:06:20.000 The press and the U.S. government wants to downplay this aspect.
00:06:24.000 They want the emphasis to be on the basic military information, casualties, ammunition shortages.
00:06:30.000 That stuff is embarrassing, but it's just basic intelligence.
00:06:34.000 But the leaks show that we, the American government, were also spying on our own allies, Israel, South Korea, and even Ukraine.
00:06:43.000 Now, that kind of makes sense, but that's a separate issue.
00:06:45.000 We have an intelligence assessment where our leaders talk about the prospect of pressuring Israel to break its neutrality and send weapons to Ukraine.
00:06:54.000 We have another document that suggests we're spying on the private communications of South Korea's leaders, where they debate whether to send any of their weapons.
00:07:04.000 Now, the only thing that might save this leaker is if this leaker is trans.
00:07:09.000 If this leaker is trans, then he or she might receive a pardon.
00:07:12.000 You might say, oh, Charlie, that's outrageous.
00:07:14.000 Not when Manning got a pardon simply because that Manning was trans.
00:07:20.000 Remember, Obama pardoned a commutation, not a pardon, a commutation.
00:07:25.000 Similar but technically different.
00:07:29.000 Now, we need to really pay attention to this, though.
00:07:31.000 It's obvious that there is a diplomatic disaster unfolding against America all over the world.
00:07:37.000 This is happening in real time.
00:07:38.000 A lot of it traces back to the Ukrainian war and the radical measures we've taken.
00:07:43.000 Our leaders have no idea what they are doing.
00:07:49.000 We basically cut Russia off from the global financial system, and we have decided to engage in a series of events that could be the end of the U.S. dollar as we know it.
00:08:00.000 We're going to really dive into some of Donald Trump's interview with Tucker Carlson because there's one thing he said that I think was so brilliant that was one of the best pieces of television I've seen of him in years, in years.
00:08:13.000 But Donald Trump in Cut 77 talks about if we lost or if we lose the world reserve currency status, it's like losing a world war.
00:08:25.000 And he's right.
00:08:26.000 This is the largest geopolitical issue.
00:08:30.000 We will be impoverished overnight.
00:08:32.000 And our leaders seem to be welcoming it.
00:08:34.000 They seem to want the U.S. dollar to be destroyed.
00:08:38.000 Why do we not have every Republican in Washington, D.C. saying, we are not going to fund another measure.
00:08:45.000 We're not going to do anything until we hold this regime accountable in any way, shape, or form.
00:08:51.000 They're trying to destroy the United States dollar.
00:08:55.000 Play Cut 77.
00:08:57.000 Iran gets together with Saudi Arabia through China.
00:09:01.000 And China's taking over.
00:09:02.000 And China, you know, I heard a couple of people say, well, the dollar will never lose the dollar standard.
00:09:07.000 Are they kidding?
00:09:09.000 China wants to change the standard, the currency standard.
00:09:14.000 And if that happens, that's like losing a world war.
00:09:18.000 We'll be a second-tier country.
00:09:19.000 We'll literally be a second-tier country if that happens.
00:09:22.000 We're losing.
00:09:23.000 If we lose our currency, our currency is what makes us powerful and strong.
00:09:29.000 We have a Chinese asset posing as an American president, Joe Biden.
00:09:34.000 And I know many of you are probably wondering, why are they doing this?
00:09:37.000 Why are they doing this?
00:09:38.000 They want the downfall of America.
00:09:41.000 At this point, the comedy of errors are not mistakes.
00:09:46.000 These are intentional courses of action.
00:09:49.000 I do not enjoy saying that.
00:09:53.000 This is an orchestrated takedown of Western civilization.
00:09:56.000 This is a diabolical campaign to destroy America.
00:09:59.000 They are intentionally deconstructing it.
00:10:01.000 The series of decisions they have made.
00:10:04.000 This is not a mistake.
00:10:06.000 This is a campaign of orchestrated actions to destroy the dollar, keep our borders wide open, keep the trans contagion going on TikTok so our kids are confused and mutilating themselves.
00:10:19.000 Joe Biden does not love America.
00:10:23.000 He has not for quite some time.
00:10:24.000 Joe Biden loves Joe Biden.
00:10:26.000 He's loved getting paid by the Chinese Communist Party and his puppet masters in Beijing.
00:10:31.000 Most Republicans do not agree with me.
00:10:34.000 If you ask most Republicans, is this intentional or is this by mistake?
00:10:38.000 They'd say, oh, you know, he's just incompetent.
00:10:41.000 These people are very competent.
00:10:44.000 They are intentionally destroying America.
00:10:50.000 Where have all the mortgage companies gone?
00:10:52.000 With all the here today, gone tomorrow companies out there, it's important to use seasoned mortgage experts with years of experience.
00:10:58.000 Use the company I personally use for my mortgage needs.
00:11:01.000 I've used them, and I could tell you, Andrew Del Rey and Tadavakian at Sierra Pacific Mortgage make the process enjoyable.

00:12:36.000 We're receiving a lot of emails, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:12:39.000 I want to hear from you.
00:12:40.000 Do you think these people are doing this intentionally or not?
00:12:42.000 And it is a very relevant question.
00:12:45.000 I got to be honest with you, one of the biggest issues facing the Republican Party, and I talk to a lot of people in the Republican Party.
00:12:51.000 I work the phones and people call me and they text me.
00:12:54.000 I'm on good terms with a lot of moderates.
00:12:56.000 And that's fine.
00:12:56.000 A lot of them are good people.
00:12:57.000 They just see the world differently.
00:12:59.000 There are good moderates and there are bad people that I agree with on almost all policy measures.
00:13:07.000 And having, you know, been in the movement for 11 years, you get to know a lot of people.
00:13:11.000 When I talk to moderates, though, it has something I have learned is the biggest difference between how Charlie Kirk, Turning Point, view the world, how you on Real America's Voice view what's happening, and how traditional Chamber of Commerce moderates view things.
00:13:33.000 Yes, of course, there's technical neoliberal differences, but there is a dividing line.
00:13:40.000 This is very important.
00:13:42.000 The dividing line is that most moderate Republicans are unwilling to say that the opposition, the enemy, the Democrat Party, are doing what they are doing intentionally.
00:13:58.000 Let's think about that for a second.
00:13:59.000 Why does that matter?
00:14:01.000 Because if you're going up against an enemy, if you're going up against another power, if you're going up against a force, and you think they mean well, you'll treat them completely differently.
00:14:14.000 The turtle thinks Chuck Schumer means well.
00:14:18.000 This is one of the most important dividing lines between the Uniparty in Washington, D.C. and many of you, the American people.
00:14:26.000 You know, we're receiving lots of emails.
00:14:27.000 I'd say thousands of emails, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:14:30.000 Yes, they're doing it on purpose, but someone says here, Charlie, there's no way it's intentional.
00:14:33.000 Nobody can be this evil.
00:14:36.000 Oh, yeah, people can be this evil.
00:14:38.000 Read 20th century history.
00:14:39.000 They're just getting warmed up.
00:14:41.000 They're just starting their windup.
00:14:44.000 But you look at the dollar issue.
00:14:46.000 Okay, because I think that I personally believe the open border is intentional destruction of America.
00:14:53.000 I could go through a lot of things I think that are intentional destruction of America.
00:14:56.000 There is no argument for what they are doing with the U.S. dollar that you could possibly make the case that they mean well.
00:15:07.000 Now, just so you understand, why does the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency matter?
00:15:12.000 Well, trillions of dollars are held in reserve accounts and they'll flood back to the United States, which means a massive inflation from that cash influx.
00:15:21.000 We'll lose the ability to sanction bad actors.
00:15:24.000 We'll lose the ability to control global financial markets.
00:15:27.000 We'll lose the ability to police international trade.
00:15:29.000 It's a huge source of our diplomatic power.
00:15:32.000 We can lock countries out of markets.
00:15:34.000 Our sanctions work because our dollars have power.
00:15:37.000 The world, the elite, go into our capital markets first and foremost.
00:15:42.000 The dollar will sink.
00:15:43.000 U.S. interest rates will soar 12, 14, 15, 16% interest rates.
00:15:50.000 A huge amount of U.S. dollars are overseas.
00:15:52.000 And if it declines, demand for dollars drops and we get immediate hyperinflation.
00:15:58.000 Now, think about it, though.
00:16:02.000 We have a $31 trillion debt.
00:16:05.000 How many times have I said on this program that they're going to try to inflate our way out of the debt?
00:16:09.000 Is there a strategy to deal with our $31 trillion debt to have us lose world reserve currency status and get a mass influx?
00:16:18.000 Inflation is a boon to big government actors.
00:16:22.000 They want inflation.
00:16:24.000 The need for dollars overseas is what allows us to create so much money and take on so much debt.
00:16:30.000 We've gotten away with it for 40 years of mega deficits because of our world reserve currency status.
00:16:36.000 You lose reserve status and you have to act like a normal country again.
00:16:40.000 We're not prepared for that.
00:16:41.000 You might say, oh, Charlie, it'd be a good thing.
00:16:43.000 You have no idea.
00:16:45.000 The standard of living in America would crater by 20 or 30%.
00:16:49.000 And yeah, people like me, I would be fine.
00:16:52.000 But you know who won't be fine?
00:16:53.000 The muscular class, plumbers, electricians, welders, police officers, firefighters, people with pensions, 401ks that are dependent on that.
00:17:01.000 The middle class in America, which is already under attack, that is already being suffocated by the world elite, would be struck by a meteorite overnight.
00:17:12.000 The people from East Palestine, from Kiakuk, Iowa, the good folks from South Dakota, anyone with cash savings would be crushed.
00:17:21.000 Donald Trump saying it's like losing a world war is one of the wisest things I have heard a world leader say or somebody say in the last two years.
00:17:31.000 A lot more important than systemic racism or trans rights or gun control or any of these other stupid issues that they're trying to have you focus on.
00:17:44.000 You lose the world reserve currency status.
00:17:47.000 You impoverish your own nation.
00:17:51.000 The fact that our leaders are even flirting with this, that we're even kind of going near this in any way, shows me they do not mean well.
00:18:00.000 It shows me they are actively involved in the suicide of the United States.
00:18:08.000 Are you feeling burned out and a little tired?
00:18:10.000 Look, I want to tell you about something that I become a big believer in.
00:18:12.000 And if you do not know about it, you got to research it.
00:18:15.000 You could fact-check me.
00:18:16.000 It's NAD.
00:18:18.000 NAD is a precursor for your body to be able to create ATP, which is basically the life force of everything that you do.
00:18:25.000 And look, there's a lot of people out there that are promising energy and doing all this, but go do some research on NAD and go see actually how incredibly important it is for high performance to be able to go actually get it to the next level.
00:18:39.000 And so what does NAD stand for?
00:18:41.000 Well, try to take a note here.
00:18:42.000 It is nicotinamide adenonide dinucleotide.
00:18:47.000 I did that pretty well, don't you think?
00:18:49.000 NAD.
00:18:50.000 It's a coenzyme that is central to metabolism.
00:18:53.000 Again, don't take my word for it.
00:18:54.000 Go watch a YouTube video or two or three or four and go fact-check me on it.
00:18:58.000 I've been taking NAD for quite some time.
00:19:00.000 And people say, Charlie, how do you travel 2,700 days in a decade?
00:19:04.000 How do you do the 300 days a year?
00:19:06.000 How do you do that?
00:19:07.000 Look, it's not only because of this.
00:19:08.000 I eat well and do other things as well.
00:19:10.000 But if you look at NADH, especially when it combines with CoQ10 and marine collagen, it boosts your body's cellular function.
00:19:18.000 I would never tell you guys to go do something I myself did not do.
00:19:21.000 And Strong Cell has been able to put together a scientific breakthrough in cellular health replenishment that combines NADH, CoQ10, and marine collagen.
00:19:30.000 When you combine them together, you get mental clarity.
00:19:33.000 And that's a must for me.
00:19:34.000 It's not just that.
00:19:35.000 It's for vitality.
00:19:36.000 It helps your immune system.
00:19:38.000 It's all good stuff.
00:19:39.000 So go to strongsell.com forward slash Charlie today and see for yourself.

00:19:45.000 It doesn't contain any caffeine.
00:19:47.000 I'm talking about overall health from the cellular level.
00:19:49.000 NADH has been called the anti-aging enzyme that helps with so many issues like brain fog, short-term memory loss, blood pressure, heart disease, blood sugar retention, and so much more.
00:20:00.000 And look, it's not a magic pill.
00:20:01.000 It's like, oh, I'm going to start taking this and I'm going to be super smart.
00:20:03.000 No, no, it's an additive, an amplifier on people that want to get better.
00:20:08.000 But I can tell you, it makes a big difference.
00:20:11.000 I've personally seen undeniable benefits from taking Strong Cell and engaging with NAD every day.
00:20:16.000 So I had to partner with them.
00:20:17.000 I vetted them.
00:20:18.000 I checked out their ingredient profile.

00:21:03.000 I just want to drive home the point here.
00:21:07.000 In most circumstances, I will say, you know what?
00:21:10.000 Stupidity and ineptitude are usually to blame for when things go wrong, typically in life.
00:21:20.000 There's a great scene.
00:21:21.000 Ryan, get it, please, in Seinfeld.
00:21:25.000 All roads lead to Seinfeld at some point, where Uncle Leo and Jerry are sitting in a diner.
00:21:32.000 And Uncle Leo gets a sandwich and it's not the way he likes it.
00:21:37.000 And he goes to Jerry and he says, that cook is probably an anti-Semite.
00:21:41.000 And it's, of course, what makes Seinfeld so brilliant.
00:21:44.000 It's Upper Eastside Jews making fun of Upper Eastside Jewish culture.
00:21:48.000 It's self-deprecation.
00:21:49.000 That's Larry David's words, not my own.
00:21:51.000 So it's hilarious, right?
00:21:52.000 The point is that, no, the chef is probably not an anti-Semite.
00:21:56.000 He was probably just inept or clumsy.
00:21:59.000 In most circumstances, there is not an agenda or a nefarious campaign to undercook your meat or to try to have that.
00:22:10.000 That does happen at times.
00:22:12.000 But I'll be very honest.
00:22:14.000 That is my general rule for when things go wrong.
00:22:18.000 It's a general rule when things are not the way they should be.
00:22:22.000 There is no such explanation when it comes to the obliteration of the dollar as the world reserve currency.
00:22:31.000 This is not stupidity.
00:22:33.000 This is not the benefit of the doubt times.
00:22:35.000 This is sabotage.
00:22:36.000 This is obliteration.
00:22:38.000 This is an attempt to usher in a new world order, a great reset, something from Davos or Klaus Schwab.
00:22:47.000 Exactly what that is, we have little bits and pieces.
00:22:50.000 Nobody knows the whole picture.
00:22:51.000 If anybody tells you I got the whole picture, they're puffing out their chest.
00:22:58.000 When something goes wrong, usually in life, there's a flight delay, you get food poisoning, you're probably not on the receiving end of a sabotage campaign.
00:23:10.000 Ineptitude or just stupidity or laziness is usually to blame.
00:23:15.000 That does not apply.
00:23:17.000 There is no such argument somebody can make with the downfall and the erosion of the dollar as the world reserve currency.
00:23:26.000 Imports would become much more expensive.
00:23:28.000 If foreign investors dump U.S. government bonds, it would drive up inflation and borrowing would become much more expensive.
00:23:34.000 Commodities are also traded in dollars, and therefore the price would rise quickly and reduce the value of U.S. assets and equities.
00:23:41.000 But still, the only place most investors will trust to put large investments into safe havens remains the U.S. capital markets.
00:23:49.000 But China is trying to change that.
00:23:51.000 And our leaders are complicit and working in harmony with China to get this done.
00:23:59.000 There's a lot of opinions in our audience about Donald Trump.
00:24:01.000 The vast majority of you are supporting him for presidency, as I am in 2024.
00:24:06.000 You never know what you're going to get in a Trump interview.
00:24:09.000 It's always entertaining.
00:24:11.000 You don't know if he's going to spend a lot of time on Stormy Daniels and all this.
00:24:14.000 It just so happens the stars aligned in a certain way, sat down with Tucker Carlson.
00:24:20.000 Maybe there was a great pre-interview chat.
00:24:23.000 That this conversation with Tucker Carlson was one of the deepest policy conversations I've seen Donald Trump make in years.
00:24:33.000 In fact, one of the deepest policy conversations I've seen a leader make in years.
00:24:38.000 You could bring the buffoons of George W. Bush and Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and you could have former presidents lined up, and they would all pander the same sort of neoliberal garbage.
00:24:50.000 Barack Obama.
00:24:51.000 Yeah, what we need to do is make sure we support the people in Ukraine to defend our democracy.
00:25:04.000 George Bush would call for an all-out invasion of another sovereign country.
00:25:11.000 Bill Clinton would do what Bill Clinton does.
00:25:16.000 The point is that it would just be there would be no substance.
00:25:17.000 It would be so shallow.
00:25:19.000 It would be devoid of any sort of complex thinking.
00:25:23.000 And again, I know we get lots of emails.
00:25:25.000 People are upset.
00:25:26.000 I don't like Trump's tone.
00:25:27.000 And we get thousands of emails about this.
00:25:28.000 Charlie, I wish he wouldn't do this and all that.
00:25:30.000 Fine.
00:25:31.000 I encourage you to check out this entire conversation with Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump.
00:25:40.000 There's one in particular where I watched the clip four times and I said, this here is a masterclass.
00:25:47.000 I am willing, not only willing, I'm supporting him enthusiastically for 2024.
00:25:52.000 But you should be willing to say, all right, all these other things aside, this one-minute clip of how he dealt with the beta male running France, Emmanuel Macron, should take your breath away and say, oh my goodness, we had it pretty good.
00:26:12.000 There is more wisdom in this one clip.
00:26:14.000 I could do a whole hour riffing on it.
00:26:16.000 And again, you guys know that we have said, you know, Trump should have done better with COVID and Fauci and the vaccine and all this, but you got to be honest, everybody.
00:26:25.000 This is Trump at his best.
00:26:27.000 High stakes deal, negotiations, leverage, geopolitics, one-on-one negotiation.
00:26:34.000 Nobody better.
00:26:35.000 The best in a century, period.
00:26:37.000 The best president in the century, maybe in American history, on the international geopolitical deal.
00:26:42.000 It's not just the art of the deal.
00:26:43.000 It's the art of saving America.
00:26:46.000 So while this regime, Biden, Cammie, Janet Yellen, woke grandma, Tony Blink, and the failed punk rocker, they're destroying intentionally America's World Reserve currency status.
00:27:02.000 It was this kind of amazing emergence of hope that popped up because I'll be honest, I watched the Tucker interview, and you walk into things with expectations.
00:27:10.000 A good rule for life is to get rid of all your expectations.
00:27:13.000 But it's hard to do that.
00:27:14.000 I was like, okay, this is going to be bashing Michael Cohen and Alvin Bragg and all this.
00:27:18.000 And Donald Trump did a little bit of it.
00:27:20.000 And then he just detoured into this hour-long monologue recounting how he was able to negotiate better deals.
00:27:28.000 And you kind of were like, this should have been the 2020 campaign.
00:27:33.000 This is him at his best.
00:27:35.000 Focused, tough, unapologetic, intense, honest.
00:27:43.000 Okay, so this is Cut 79 ready to go.
00:27:49.000 Actually, I think it's 78 and then 79.
00:27:51.000 Yeah, so 78.
00:27:52.000 So basically, Donald Trump takes us back in time.
00:27:55.000 I've never heard this story, and I've heard almost, I've heard the chocolate cake Syrian missile story.
00:28:00.000 I've heard, you know, the generals in the Bagram Air Force.
00:28:04.000 You know, you go to enough Trump events, you hear the stories.
00:28:08.000 Never heard this one, though.
00:28:09.000 This was a new one, which was the Macron champagne wine story.
00:28:16.000 And I wish this story would be told more often.
00:28:18.000 It's a microcosm of what we're missing and a 180-degree difference of the cabal of criminals that are intentionally destroying America.
00:28:29.000 And honestly, the more that these criminals destroy America, the more I roll my eyes when I have to get text messages.
00:28:35.000 Charlie, I don't think I like Donald Trump's tone.
00:28:39.000 You don't like his tone?
00:28:42.000 You got a choice, man.
00:28:44.000 Let the primary play out, I guess.
00:28:47.000 Okay?
00:28:48.000 Maybe you're going to go support Asa Hutchinson.
00:28:50.000 Donald Trump is almost assuredly going to be the nominee.
00:28:54.000 You got the Biden cabal, but then you got this little picture of what we had.
00:28:58.000 And were we thankful when we had this?
00:29:01.000 Most Americans weren't.
00:29:02.000 I know I certainly was.
00:29:04.000 All right, let's get to it.
00:29:05.000 Cut 78.
00:29:06.000 Donald Trump talking about how Steve Mnuchin was not able to make a deal with the French.
00:29:10.000 And this is true.
00:29:10.000 The French are notoriously difficult negotiators, especially when it comes to exports from France and protecting their own industry.
00:29:19.000 They are protectionists.
00:29:21.000 Galore.
00:29:22.000 Play Cut 78.
00:29:24.000 Then you see France going over.
00:29:27.000 What's going on?
00:29:28.000 Steve Mnuchin, a good guy, was unable to make a deal with France.
00:29:32.000 France is very difficult, I will tell you.
00:29:34.000 Yeah, they're all difficult because every country rips us off.
00:29:37.000 But France is in particular very difficult.
00:29:41.000 And you probably heard where they want to charge American companies substantial tax to do business in France.
00:29:46.000 So I had Mnuchin working on it and other people working.
00:29:50.000 They were unable to do it.
00:29:51.000 They called me back just for a couple of months.
00:29:54.000 They could not do it.
00:29:56.000 So it's true.
00:29:58.000 France has a, for all of France's problems, I have to tell you, I have admiration for how France wants to protect their language, parts of their, I mean, I don't like their hedonistic culture, but they have an identity in France and they're worried about losing it.
00:30:16.000 And there are core industries that they do not want to lose.
00:30:20.000 Specifically, obviously, champagne and wine.
00:30:22.000 And I just find it hilarious because, of course, Donald Trump immediately goes.
00:30:25.000 He could go on the edges, right?
00:30:26.000 He could go to some other kind of fringe industry.
00:30:28.000 He goes right to the core.
00:30:31.000 This would be like going to semiconductors for Taiwan.
00:30:34.000 This would be like going to Toyota for Japan.
00:30:38.000 I mean, he goes straight to the moneymaker, the job-creating engine.
00:30:43.000 And we're low on time on this segment.
00:30:44.000 I know I'm doing a big lead up because it's important.
00:30:47.000 It should give you a glimmer of hope that if Trump can win again, this thing can get turned around immediately.
00:30:52.000 It should give you a blueprint of what a negotiation looks like when you have a leader that loves America versus one that's purchased by the CCP and has bitter contempt for America, like Joe Biden does.
00:31:04.000 And basically, and we're going to go through the tape.
00:31:07.000 Donald Trump talks about how when he talked about Macron, I can't tell you this.
00:31:12.000 I mean, I was going to use a certain anatomy term.
00:31:15.000 Let's just say the spine, the spine and the stones that it takes to do this, to basically call up Emmanuel Macron and say, yeah, you don't fix this?
00:31:26.000 100% tariff on champagne.
00:31:27.000 100% tariff on wine.
00:31:30.000 And the French have been ripping us off for a long time.
00:31:33.000 By the way, the Indians do this to Harley-Davidson.
00:31:36.000 There's a very famous and very well-known Indian motorcycle company.
00:31:41.000 I think it's called the Indian Motorcycle Company.
00:31:43.000 They have 100% tariff.
00:31:44.000 They don't allow Harley-Davidsons in.
00:31:46.000 Same with Toyota and Japan.
00:31:48.000 Same with Germany and Porsche, Germany and Bayer, Germany and Volkswagen, Germany and Mercedes-Benz.
00:31:56.000 Donald Trump said, okay, well, two can play at this game.
00:31:58.000 We're done getting ripped off.
00:31:59.000 Cut 79, able to get France to end the tax on American businesses, play Cut 79.
00:32:07.000 I said, let me have Macron get him on the phone.
00:32:09.000 I said, listen, I understand you're going to tax American companies for doing business in France.
00:32:14.000 Here's the story.
00:32:16.000 On Monday morning, if you don't drop this, on Monday morning, it was Friday, I'm going to put a 100% tariff on every bottle of champagne and every bottle of wine that comes into the United States of America.
00:32:30.000 He says, no, no, no, that's not fair.
00:32:33.000 I said, of course it's fair.
00:32:34.000 You're charging American companies for going to France and doing business in France, a very big tax.
00:32:40.000 So all of your wine, very good wine, but I think we make wine that's just as good.
00:32:45.000 All of your wine and all of your champagne that comes in, I'm putting a 100% tax on.
00:32:52.000 That's it.
00:32:53.000 So good luck.
00:32:53.000 Monday morning at 9 o'clock.
00:32:56.000 That was it.
00:32:57.000 I get a call back 15 minutes later.
00:32:59.000 We've decided we're not going to charge American companies.
00:33:03.000 But do you know what happened?
00:33:05.000 Once I left, now they're charging them.
00:33:07.000 Yep, now that Joe Biden is in charge and his regime, they're charging their tax in there.
00:33:13.000 They're just ripping us off.
00:33:14.000 But you know what I love about that story?
00:33:15.000 It's so extreme.
00:33:17.000 It's so over the top.
00:33:18.000 And it goes to the sacred industry of the French economy.
00:33:23.000 Now, there are several sacred industries.
00:33:24.000 He could have gone after Louis Vuitton.
00:33:26.000 But just wine and champagne.
00:33:27.000 It just is so, it's a luxury that Americans import a fair amount of.
00:33:35.000 And by the way, France has done many things themselves.
00:33:39.000 Japan once tried to block imports of French snow skis because, quote, Japanese snow is different.
00:33:44.000 So France said they would block imports of Japanese motorcycles because French roads are different and Japan backed down.
00:33:50.000 You need a negotiator.
00:33:52.000 And we are, why does that clip matter now?
00:33:56.000 If Donald Trump was president and the 2020 election was not the drive-by shooting the American Constitution that it was, we would not be losing our World Reserve currency status.
00:34:06.000 I cannot put into words how critical, how fire alarm, five alarm fire it is that if we lose our world reserve currency status, and that is exactly what they're doing, they are trying to go to a currency reset, CBDC, central bank digital currency, to eliminate the currency as we know it.
00:34:26.000 This is the big game, the massive game.
00:34:31.000 And in one phone call, Donald Trump changed the entire geopolitics of just one deal with France.
00:34:36.000 And I was just laughing because, of course, he goes after champagne and wine.
00:34:40.000 Of course, obviously.
00:34:41.000 And Macron was probably so offended, like, you do not talk to me like this, Mr. President.
00:34:45.000 Like, oh, yeah, really?
00:34:46.000 Monday, 9 a.m.
00:34:48.000 See you later, pal.
00:34:51.000 The world was stable when he was president.
00:34:57.000 Right now, the world is falling apart.
00:34:59.000 And that's not an exaggeration.
00:35:02.000 You cannot do what they are doing by mistake.
00:35:08.000 Because when you make a mistake, there's an error that you could actually do something right.
00:35:12.000 They haven't done a single thing right.
00:35:15.000 From the withdrawal of Afghanistan, 5,000 people coming across our border every single day, to the massive deficits that we're posting.
00:35:25.000 No, it's a sabotage campaign.
00:35:28.000 And most Republicans that you send to Washington, D.C., most Republicans that represent you, not only are they unwilling to say it, but they don't believe that it's intentional.
00:35:43.000 They still think that Democrats somehow mean well.
00:35:52.000 These people are active co-conspirators and participants in the slitting of the throat of America.
00:35:58.000 It's not a coincidence.
00:36:00.000 They enjoy it.
00:36:01.000 They get a thrill of it.
00:36:02.000 Not all of them are as vocal as they should be.
00:36:06.000 I mean, Elon Omar and AOC, of course, they hate America.
00:36:09.000 But it goes all the way on down the entire gamut.
00:36:11.000 They want a different America.
00:36:13.000 A strong and prosperous America is not something they're interested in.
00:36:18.000 It's never been what they're interested in.
00:36:21.000 So there's something that we have to do.
00:36:25.000 A lot we have to do.
00:36:27.000 But it really does beg the question as we proceed, why do Republicans continually think that they're dealing with an opposition that means well?
00:36:37.000 I don't know.
00:36:39.000 Is it cowardice?
00:36:40.000 Is it weakness?
00:36:41.000 And I think my theory rests this as we close out this hour, is that they're afraid what it would mean for their comfort if they actually believed what was right in front of them.
00:36:52.000 You know, we talk a lot about how ignorance is bliss.
00:36:54.000 There's so much truth to that.
