00:00:03.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.
00:00:05.000 I run the largest pro-American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
00:00:11.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
00:00:14.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
00:00:19.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful.
00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:26.000 You've got to stop sending your kids to college.
00:00:27.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
00:00:31.000 Go start a Turning Point USA college chapter.
00:00:33.000 Go start a Turning Point USA High School chapter.
00:00:35.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.
00:00:37.000 Sign up and become an activist.
00:00:39.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life.
00:00:43.000 And I encourage you to do the same.
00:00:45.000 Here I am.
00:00:46.000 Lord, use me.
00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:49.000 Here we go.

00:01:22.000 We're live from the Y Refi studios here in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:01:26.000 Much, much news to get to.
00:01:27.000 Jam packed show in store today.
00:01:29.000 And with a thing we didn't really expect at all until this morning.
00:01:32.000 No, yeah, but let's talk about our show first. 0.87
00:01:35.000 We've got Liz Collin.
00:01:37.000 From Alpha News.
00:01:38.000 She's going to be joining us at 12:30 to cover the Somali terror plot that was foiled by the FBI.

00:01:49.000 And then at 1 o'clock, we've got Steve Cortez rejoining the show. 1.00
00:01:52.000 We haven't had him on for a while.
00:01:54.000 He's going to be talking about mass migration.
00:01:56.000 He's got a new documentary coming out on it.
00:01:58.000 And then at 1:30, hold on.
00:02:01.000 Who do we have at 1:30?
00:02:02.000 Peachy.
00:02:03.000 Yeah, good old Peachy.
00:02:05.000 Peachy's the best.
00:02:06.000 Peachy Keenan. 0.85
00:02:07.000 She's going to be talking about are we seeing a rise in copycats with Lindsey Keenan?
00:02:11.000 Clancy, what to make of the Cornell Seven, and much more.
00:02:13.000 So, lots to get to today.
00:02:15.000 And we want to cover some breaking news.
00:02:17.000 This is a new story.
00:02:19.000 First, I'm going to ask the audience, all right?
00:02:21.000 Freedom at Charlie Kirk.com.
00:02:23.000 Send us an email.
00:02:25.000 Now, I'm not saying the story we're about to share with you is a hoax, but I am asking what is the most egregious hoax that you can remember?
00:02:35.000 Yes.
00:02:36.000 What is it?
00:02:37.000 Is it Jussie Smollett?
00:02:39.000 Is it Al Sharpton, the race baiter?
00:02:42.000 What?
00:02:42.000 UVA.
00:02:43.000 UVA. 1.00
00:02:43.000 Rape on campus. 1.00
00:02:44.000 Is it. 1.00
00:02:45.000 We could even add.
00:02:46.000 I'm even comfortable adding the Cornell 7 at this point.
00:02:49.000 I think that's a total hoax.
00:02:51.000 What else?
00:02:52.000 I mean, there's so many.
00:02:53.000 Tawana Brawley, that's the original Sharpton one.
00:02:55.000 A lot of hate crime hoaxes on the left. 1.00
00:02:57.000 Lots of hate crime.
00:02:58.000 So let me give you.
00:02:59.000 Just let me paint the picture for you here.
00:03:02.000 And then Blake is going to go through the details.
00:03:04.000 So this was from the Phoenix New Times, but now it's been covered by the New York Times, The Hill.
00:03:10.000 I think I saw BBC covering it.
00:03:11.000 Yep.
00:03:12.000 Mark Kelly has.
00:03:13.000 Gone public with it.
00:03:14.000 Ruben Gallego, a million views on his tweet about it.
00:03:18.000 Yeah, there it is. 0.71
00:03:18.000 Congressional candidate is raped while repairing her campaign signs in Arizona's 8th district, congressional district. 0.71
00:03:26.000 Now, this is the candidate who is up against Abe Homaday, friend of the show, Bernadette Green Placentia.
00:03:33.000 Now, let me say out front if what she's claiming happened to her happened, it's horrible.
00:03:41.000 And she deserves your sympathy in all of that.
00:03:44.000 But upon a deeper reading, There are some serious questions that need to be asked.
00:03:51.000 So, Blake, why don't you walk us through the election?
00:03:54.000 Let's dive right into it.
00:03:55.000 So, that headline that's in the Phoenix New Times, an alternative paper here in Arizona, a very far left.
00:04:00.000 Local congressional race, tilting pretty Republican, but still close enough to be competitive.
00:04:05.000 I think if they think they're going to get a blue wave here, they might try to get a win here.
00:04:09.000 And she is saying that just after 2 a.m. on a pitch black Friday morning, so like 2 a.m., Green Placentia, she says she was out repairing her signs because people would deface or damage them.
00:04:21.000 She had to replace them.
00:04:23.000 And she says she's suddenly bashed from behind on the head. 0.82
00:04:27.000 She says she blacked out and she woke up to a man, an unknown man on top of her sexually assaulting her. 0.82
00:04:34.000 And she says she doesn't really remember most of the details, except she believes she heard him mumble that she was a ick B word, so like Democratic.
00:04:44.000 She filled in the blanks. 0.79
00:04:45.000 Democratic B, and said something about her not being a very good sex partner.
00:04:52.000 And then there's another man there who also participates in the assault.
00:04:55.000 So this is two men assaulting her.
00:04:58.000 And then they complete the assault, they leave, and then she says she got up.
00:05:04.000 She doesn't remember how she got home, but she gets home.
00:05:08.000 She's basically, they describe her having a two day blackout.
00:05:11.000 She doesn't correspond with her campaign chief, her staff. 0.97
00:05:14.000 She apparently blows off a campaign event.
00:05:16.000 She does talk to her husband a couple times by phone.
00:05:19.000 They live separately because they have a home outside the district, and she has an apartment in the district due to redistricting lines.
00:05:25.000 And then she says she told their staff after two days, she told police after Two weeks, she says she went to the Maricopa Sheriff's Office.
00:05:35.000 And then this went public.
00:05:36.000 This all happened in August.
00:05:37.000 It's going public now, as it happens the day that early voting ballots are going out in Arizona.
00:05:43.000 And she says she did this because she had to show that she would fight for women in Arizona.
00:05:48.000 And she felt shame, but she's bravely stepping up.
00:05:52.000 But I will be honest this both stood out to you, Andrew, and to me.
00:05:56.000 This raises a lot of eyebrows.
00:05:58.000 So because she waited two weeks to report this, it means she never went to the hospital.
00:06:03.000 She washed her clothes.
00:06:04.000 She washed her clothing.
00:06:05.000 She never received a sexual assault kit test that could have gotten DNA evidence of these attackers.
00:06:11.000 She doesn't remember where it happened.
00:06:14.000 She has a street intersection, but it's only in that area in the Sun City, maybe Surprise area.
00:06:20.000 This is Northwest Phoenix.
00:06:21.000 She likely got a concussion, which would be her third concussion. 0.78
00:06:25.000 Her third concussion.
00:06:26.000 So she would have evidence of having been concussed before.
00:06:29.000 And she just doesn't remember where it was.
00:06:32.000 She says she was covered in bruises and even fingertip bruises.
00:06:37.000 My question is obvious.
00:06:38.000 Does she have a.
00:06:40.000 Any pictures of the bruises on her head where she got hit?
00:06:43.000 Does she have pictures of the bruises on her body?
00:06:47.000 Any sort of details that would be relevant to understanding the veracity of the claims.
00:06:53.000 And then even the headline is like, even the story in the New Times, which is sympathetic, they say this happened.
00:07:00.000 They state it all, not as an allegation, but as fact.
00:07:03.000 But there's a lot of weird things about this.
00:07:05.000 So, for example, the only person who sees Green Placentia in that two day window after.
00:07:10.000 Is her landlord.
00:07:12.000 And what her landlord says is this landlord saw her outside her apartment and approached her out of concern because, quote, she looked like she was going to fall over.
00:07:23.000 Now, yes, you could be maimed so badly in an attack that you would be unsteady on your feet and in pain.
00:07:29.000 But, Andrew, I think you and I can imagine other situations where a person would look unsteady on their feet.
00:07:35.000 Yeah.
00:07:36.000 Well, and that's the question.
00:07:39.000 Listen, again, I just want to reiterate obviously, if this person Proves out the facts bear out that this happened.
00:07:47.000 Our heart would go out 100%.
00:07:49.000 100%.
00:07:49.000 100%.
00:07:50.000 But the question is, there's just too much fishiness going on here.
00:07:54.000 And this is on the backdrop of the Cornell 7 case, where you're having protests, mass protests at Cornell.
00:08:01.000 They're even floating banning Greek life at Cornell.
00:08:05.000 Nationwide sometimes.
00:08:06.000 Yeah, the New York Times is having a whole discussion about is it time to ban Greek life? 0.90
00:08:12.000 Right?
00:08:13.000 So this is all the backdrop.
00:08:15.000 Now, and again, I want you to go back in your mind.
00:08:17.000 Jussie Smollett.
00:08:19.000 This is MAGA country.
00:08:21.000 Okay, this is Matt.
00:08:23.000 None of this made any sense.
00:08:25.000 Now, in this one, she alleges that the assailant is saying Democratic B word.
00:08:33.000 Now, and it's the only detail she really remembers.
00:08:35.000 It's the only detail she remembers.
00:08:37.000 Okay, so first thought that I had, and Blake had the same thought, was conservatives don't call Democratic anything.
00:08:44.000 They don't use Democratic.
00:08:44.000 They use Democratic.
00:08:45.000 Because it's the same as the Democratic Party, but normal people, people who don't like them, they just say, he would say a Democrat.
00:08:52.000 B word.
00:08:52.000 Yes.
00:08:53.000 And that's some weird little detail there.
00:08:55.000 No pictures of the bruises.
00:08:56.000 She washes her clothes, so no DNA. 0.79
00:08:59.000 No rape kit, so no DNA. 0.99
00:09:02.000 She doesn't announce it to cops at all.
00:09:04.000 Now, here's what I actually am very sure of that she, something happened.
00:09:09.000 I'm very sure something happened, actually.
00:09:10.000 But what?
00:09:11.000 But what?
00:09:12.000 Did she have a rough night?
00:09:14.000 Did something else happen?
00:09:15.000 But here's the most important thing that is happening Ruben Gallego is tweeting out about this, who has this bad history with women, and he's coming out to say, like, I am heartbroken by this news.
00:09:25.000 I am thinking of her.
00:09:26.000 Thank you for speaking out.
00:09:27.000 We're with you.
00:09:28.000 They are ready to make political hay out of an unproven allegation.
00:09:34.000 We want to get your emails here.
00:09:36.000 Do you believe her story?
00:09:38.000 Does it seem fishy to you?
00:09:39.000 Freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:09:43.000 There's a congressional candidate running against Abe Homaday, Arizona's eighth, that claims she was raped while out fixing campaign signs at 2 a.m. on a Friday morning.
00:09:54.000 Two months ago, but it only came out now.
00:09:55.000 And it's only coming out now where the ballots come out.
00:09:57.000 By the way, there's no.
00:09:58.000 Video evidence.
00:09:59.000 No video. 0.99
00:10:00.000 Might have been erased because she waited two weeks to go to police.
00:10:02.000 So a lot of tapes get taped over.
00:10:04.000 There's no images, at least yet, of the bruising.
00:10:07.000 And by the way, if there is bruising, it doesn't mean something didn't happen.
00:10:11.000 But I'm looking at the comment section in the Phoenix New Times.
00:10:14.000 A far left rag in Arizona.
00:10:17.000 I mean, this thing's like the commie rag of Arizona.
00:10:19.000 Very sympathetic write up.
00:10:21.000 All the comments are like, okay, Jesse, where's the MAGA hat?
00:10:25.000 Things that didn't happen for 200 hours.
00:10:27.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:10:27.000 Sounds like you.
00:10:28.000 Are all pretty similar.
00:10:29.000 We just got this Julie.
00:10:31.000 I call BS. 0.51
00:10:31.000 She either made it up or had the best night of her life. 0.51
00:10:34.000 Either way, why did she wait for two months? 1.00
00:10:37.000 Diana says if she was too stupid to go to ER and do a rape kit, she's too dumb to be in Congress. 1.00
00:10:42.000 That's candidly, that was the point I made to Blake on the phone this morning. 1.00
00:10:46.000 Like, it is.
00:10:47.000 If this really happens, you have an obligation to go to the police, get checked.
00:10:50.000 And is that challenging?
00:10:52.000 Yes, but it is a moral obligation you have if this really happened.
00:10:56.000 It's so cinematic the way that she paints it, like perhaps too cinematic.
00:11:00.000 And the fact that conveniently, There's zero way to check any of this.
00:11:06.000 Yeah.
00:11:06.000 The video surveillance is probably erased.
00:11:08.000 Philip brings up something relevant.
00:11:10.000 He says they need to get her phone and ping.
00:11:12.000 Where was she on that night?
00:11:13.000 Because that's probably phone data.
00:11:15.000 It would greatly strengthen her story if she really was in that area when this happened.
00:11:19.000 She probably was in that area.
00:11:21.000 She probably had something happen that night.
00:11:26.000 Who knows?
00:11:26.000 Who knows what it could be?
00:11:28.000 And then, ooh, this is interesting.
00:11:30.000 Chrissy says, do you remember the Sherry Papini hoax?
00:11:33.000 A movie was made about it.
00:11:34.000 She claimed to have been.
00:11:35.000 Kidnapped and then returned home.
00:11:37.000 I don't remember this.
00:11:38.000 I don't remember.
00:11:38.000 Was that like the runaway bride?
00:11:39.000 I know that was like a weird hoax.
00:11:41.000 Someone claimed she was kidnapped by a man and she was actually just running away.
00:11:46.000 I'm not sure if that's that story, though.
00:11:47.000 Sherry Papini.
00:11:48.000 Uh, and no, yes, I do remember this. 1.00
00:11:50.000 She the one does she have really big bug eyes? 1.00
00:11:52.000 Yes, she does. 1.00
00:11:53.000 Blonde gal, I remember this now.
00:11:55.000 Disappeared November 2nd, 2016, reportedly while out jogging a mile from her home in Redding, California.
00:12:01.000 Papini was 34 years old at the time.
00:12:02.000 She reappeared three weeks later on Thanksgiving Day, having been reportedly freed from her captors.
00:12:08.000 Yeah, anyways, it's garnered significant media attention.
00:12:12.000 And so, we just we bring this up.
00:12:13.000 Obviously, it's right here in Phoenix, so we know we're very we want to talk about what's happening here in Arizona.
00:12:19.000 This is our turf, but it fits into a wider.
00:12:22.000 Pattern, Andrew, that I think you can tell a lot of Democrat outlets have gotten a little bit.
00:12:28.000 By the way, she was reportedly staying with a former boyfriend.
00:12:31.000 Oh, wow.
00:12:31.000 Was the actual truth there.
00:12:33.000 Okay.
00:12:34.000 So it fits into a pattern here that I think there's even Democrats are starting to realize this a bit.
00:12:40.000 Like the New York Times has written this up.
00:12:42.000 They have not gotten nearly as bold and aggressive as I think they often would.
00:12:46.000 They say, Democrat, this allegedly happened to you.
00:12:49.000 It's a pretty short write up for the amount of resources they have.
00:12:52.000 Right.
00:12:53.000 But nevertheless, this is still something that's useful to the left.
00:12:56.000 They create these narratives.
00:12:59.000 Oh, it would totally make sense for two white men in this Republican suburb of Arizona to group assault a woman because she's a Democrat out at night.
00:13:11.000 And then they'll write up these allegations.
00:13:13.000 And if they prove false, or the most likely outcome here is police are going to say, We have no medical evidence, no DNA evidence, no video evidence.
00:13:20.000 We don't know where it is.
00:13:21.000 We have no leads.
00:13:22.000 And they'll just have to drop it because there's no leads.
00:13:24.000 And so, Very likely hoax, something that almost certainly has no backing to it, will just be allowed to float out there, affect people in the ether.
00:13:31.000 They know most people will only hear the first story, not any of the follow up, and it'll help them.
00:13:37.000 It'll entrench this idea in people's heads.
00:13:39.000 It feels like a Hail Mary.
00:13:41.000 Yeah.
00:13:42.000 And listen, again, if anything really did happen, our heart goes out to her.
00:13:46.000 She has, but at this point, I'm sorry, you're going to have to prove it. 0.93
00:13:51.000 This believe all women garbage, when you're running for office, none of these details make any sense at all, and you're going to have to prove it. 1.00
00:13:59.000 And we got the Cornell case also happening, which I'm going to call a hoax because that girl was absolutely consensual. 0.99
00:14:05.000 And we got to stop treating women like little children. 0.97
00:14:08.000 I'm sorry, women.
00:14:09.000 You're an adult with the equal rights of citizenship. 0.73
00:14:12.000 You have agency.
00:14:14.000 The responsibility is yours to not take drugs, to not get drunk, to not go be out at 2 a.m. alone on a street if that's really what happened.
00:14:22.000 Whatever happened, your husband was worried about you, felt a little hurt feelings because you didn't come see him for two days living in your apartment.
00:14:32.000 Here's the deal.
00:14:33.000 We think back to the Jussie Smollett hoax, MAGA country.
00:14:38.000 You're playing too much into a stereotype, and when that happens, the red flags go off, okay?
00:14:44.000 The SBLC couldn't find enough white supremacy, so they started concocting it.
00:14:49.000 They started paying for it, they started ginning up white supremacy so they could raise money off of it because it was a real good business model.
00:14:59.000 There are too many hoaxes like this now for us to simply accept it at face value.
00:15:04.000 And that is the key.
00:15:06.000 It must be very nice to be a Democrat, to be Ruben Gallego, to be Mark Kelly right now, to just run in, swoop in, virtue signal on an alleged rape of two white males in Arizona's 8th, virtue signal on it, say all the right things, gin up sympathy, and then when the story conveniently goes away, you just get patted on the back for having your heart in the right place. 1.00
00:15:32.000 Defend all women. 0.62
00:15:34.000 I'm sorry, life's more complicated than that. 1.00
00:15:37.000 And here's the deal.
00:15:38.000 These things could have real political implications.
00:15:42.000 Abe Hamaday, by all accounts, is up.
00:15:44.000 Vote Hub has him at basically 90% certainty to win this race.
00:15:49.000 Who knows?
00:15:50.000 Are those odds about to change because she's successfully ginned up enough sympathy for herself with this story without any facts or evidence or details or bruise marks or video evidence?
00:16:00.000 Story comes out conveniently the day ballots drop in Arizona?
00:16:03.000 I don't know.
00:16:05.000 It comes out the day ballots drop.
00:16:06.000 That means people could hear this, get outraged, vote, and then if it's exposed as a hoax, can't unvote.
00:16:12.000 Can't unvote.
00:16:13.000 Can you imagine if it gets.
00:16:15.000 Imagine this works. 0.98
00:16:17.000 She. 1.00
00:16:18.000 Miraculously, I mean, she ekes it out 150 votes.
00:16:21.000 Yeah, she ekes it out, and then it comes out that it's a giant hoax that her phone was nowhere where she said she was, that video surveillance evidence does come out.
00:16:29.000 She's nowhere where she said she was.
00:16:30.000 And we might have a one seat majority in the House either way at the end of this hoaxer.
00:16:34.000 Can you imagine?
00:16:35.000 Can you imagine the Democrats are just going to say, well, we're not giving up the House majority?
00:16:39.000 Eat your hoaxer.
00:16:40.000 And guess what? 0.87
00:16:41.000 The Democrats are not going to be very motivated to discipline said liar hoaxer if that ends up being so.
00:16:46.000 Well, why would they?
00:16:47.000 The thing is that the hoax industry for Democrats.
00:16:50.000 Has produced enormous dividends.
00:16:52.000 I mean, look at this Cornell thing as an example.
00:16:54.000 Even though it seems very clear this is not what is alleged by Jane Doe, despite that, we get them talking, oh, well, you know, this really is highlighting a national problem regardless. 0.83
00:17:05.000 So, should we ban all Greek life nationwide?
00:17:09.000 They will routinely do where there will be a hate crime hoax on a campus and it will result in more money for left wing causes, more money for left wing groups, more policy changes that they demand.
00:17:19.000 And even if it's exposed as a hoax, they'll put out this poblum like, oh, well, the fact that people got so Agitated about this shows that the fact that this was plausible that it could have happened shows that we live in a climate of hate and oppression and fear and blah blah blah.
00:17:34.000 They love to use real stories to push their agenda, but they're perfectly happy to use fake stories to push it as well.
00:17:40.000 It's just too much.
00:17:41.000 Two white men out in the middle of the night at some freeway or some intersection, rather. 0.99
00:17:49.000 Listen, if it turns out to be true, we'll say it. 0.90
00:17:52.000 We will update our story and we will absolutely own it and we will be the most sympathetic.
00:17:58.000 But if it turns out to not be true, you better hope it doesn't gin up enough votes to change an election.

00:19:19.000 Joining us now is Liz Colin from Alpha News.
00:19:22.000 Liz, welcome back to the show.
00:19:23.000 It's good to see you as always.
00:19:26.000 So there's so much going on in Minnesota.
00:19:28.000 We could probably do a whole hour with you.
00:19:30.000 But obviously, the big breaking news yesterday was that this gentleman, Sheikh Dun Muhammad, Who is an American born Somali, 18 years old?
00:19:42.000 The FBI foiled a terror plot where he was going to take an AK 47 into the Mall of America and try and kill dozens and dozens of non Muslims, which I don't know if you've seen video of the Mall of America lately, might be actually more challenging than he was anticipating.
00:20:00.000 Liz, what do we know about this story?
00:20:02.000 What are the details?
00:20:03.000 Because it just seems like the latest in a long list of, I don't know, Somali issues in that state. 1.00
00:20:10.000 Yeah, you're right.
00:20:10.000 We could be talking for quite a while today, you guys.
00:20:13.000 Good to see you again.
00:20:14.000 Thanks for having me on.
00:20:15.000 But yes, Sheikh Dun Muhammad, this is a pretty detailed criminal complaint about his plans, now charged with plotting a mass casualty attack at Mall of America.
00:20:24.000 It was supposed to happen later this month in October.
00:20:27.000 And he says it was in support of ISIS. 0.67
00:20:30.000 Very disturbing criminal complaint that details, in his words, he wanted to kill 30 to 60 people.
00:20:37.000 He thought that would happen at the mall.
00:20:40.000 Obviously, pretty interesting to hear.
00:20:41.000 Muhammad was someone who's been on the radar for quite some time.
00:20:46.000 In fact, FBI agents even tried to speak with his parents.
00:20:48.000 That was back in 2025, last year.
00:20:50.000 But according to the charges, they were not cooperative.
00:20:53.000 His parents were not cooperative at the time.
00:20:55.000 And there were hundreds, hundreds of social media messages dating back a couple of years that the special agent in charge of the FBI here called them chilling and said that Muhammad showed a callous disregard to the sanctity of human life.
00:21:10.000 Muhammad said in those social media messages that he could not afford to go back to Somalia.
00:21:15.000 He wanted to fight with ISIS.
00:21:18.000 So he said instead he would do that here. 0.92
00:21:20.000 He would carry out an attack here and do it for Allah.
00:21:23.000 Again, all of that detailed in the criminal complaint. 0.67
00:21:26.000 So this all comes to a head.
00:21:27.000 An informant sells him an AK 47 assault rifle that was sold to him inoperable on Tuesday.
00:21:35.000 And then he was arrested right after that transaction at a park in Richfield, that is a suburb right outside of Minneapolis, according to those charges.
00:21:45.000 But really, you guys, this is nothing new.
00:21:47.000 We've done so many stories on this radicalization, sadly.
00:21:51.000 That has happened in Minnesota a decade ago now, when federal prosecutors brought terrorism charges against nine Somali American young men from Minnesota.
00:22:00.000 They were attempting to travel to join ISIS back in Somalia back then.
00:22:06.000 So, what's really interesting about this is obviously you had the Nick Shirley thing.
00:22:12.000 By the way, you'd been covering that at Alpha News a long time.
00:22:15.000 He helped popularize it and make it injected into the zeitgeist.
00:22:19.000 But then you had all this gang violence that just erupted on the streets.
00:22:23.000 So, this is a video of.
00:22:25.000 Police Chief Booker Hodges, and I want to play it for you, and maybe you could add some more detail to this because he says that they're different.
00:22:32.000 This is not the 80s or 90s gangs of the past.
00:22:36.000 These kids have money.
00:22:37.000 Sot seven.
00:22:38.000 They're coming from two parent homes, living in apartment buildings with $3,500 a month rent, driving Beamers and Mercedes and all these luxury cars. 0.98
00:22:49.000 When you hit their house, they're not dealing with money.
00:22:55.000 There's no drugs in the house.
00:22:57.000 They're purchasing legal firearms.
00:22:59.000 So, this is not the 1980s, 1990s, 2000 gangs.
00:23:05.000 These kids are different.
00:23:09.000 These kids have come from good homes and they have money.
00:23:13.000 They're living in houses that cost more than my mortgage.
00:23:17.000 So, they're out here simply shooting each other based on social media beef.
00:23:23.000 Period.
00:23:24.000 That's it.
00:23:25.000 All right.
00:23:26.000 So.
00:23:29.000 What's going on in Minneapolis?
00:23:31.000 We've come a long way from that old 1970 time headline, The Good Life in Minnesota.
00:23:36.000 What has unfolded in Minneapolis for the people who don't live there and only see the news stories?
00:23:41.000 Yeah, that's the question I seem to always get asked.
00:23:43.000 And I wish I had a good answer, but so much of it has played out, frankly, on the national stage.
00:23:50.000 But this Somali connection really cannot be ignored.
00:23:53.000 But instead, you have the mainstream media in Minnesota. 0.99
00:23:55.000 They are a big part of the problem here.
00:23:57.000 They would rather focus on how to go about even calling this Somali gang violence.
00:24:02.000 They're referring to this now as group violence in the Twin Cities.
00:24:06.000 But, you guys, just in the last 10 days, let me detail this for you.
00:24:09.000 So, we have a Somali gang shooting on a busy highway.
00:24:13.000 Outside a suburban football game, another one happens outside a gas station in another suburb.
00:24:19.000 And in another city, they find 100 evidence markers are located with bullets next to them.
00:24:24.000 This all happens again, less than 10 days we're talking about here. 0.82
00:24:27.000 And this Somali gang problem has been ongoing for months and months now. 0.78
00:24:31.000 In fact, there's now a call to have a regional approach to this because what's interesting is all of this violence, for the most part, I will say, is happening in Hennepin County.
00:24:40.000 Guess who's the Hennepin County attorney there?
00:24:42.000 Well, that's Mary Moriarty, perhaps a name that sounds familiar.
00:24:46.000 To your audience, uh, but she's been clear she does not want to charge kids.
00:24:50.000 Uh, many of these are kids under the age of 18, and Minneapolis cops, for that matter, are essentially handcuffed.
00:24:56.000 She'd rather go after them than the criminals. 0.61
00:24:59.000 One thing I'm wondering, Liz, and maybe you're not sure on this, but so we hear these Somali gangs at Somali gang violence.
00:25:04.000 We've seen gang violence in U.S. cities before.
00:25:07.000 Is there anything distinguishing, special, unusual about Somali gangs versus tradition? 0.99
00:25:14.000 You know, if you've heard of the Crips or Bloods or Latin Kings, does anything set them apart, or is it just that they're They are assimilating to the extent they just join America's gang violence problem. 0.99
00:25:24.000 Yeah. 0.98
00:25:24.000 In fact, I just interviewed a gang expert of more than 30 years. 0.98
00:25:28.000 He's the vice president of the Midwest Gang Investigators just this morning.
00:25:31.000 And he said, here's what's different.
00:25:32.000 You have this radicalization element, these threats law enforcement can see online.
00:25:38.000 So much of this does play out online.
00:25:40.000 Also, their access to guns that's different.
00:25:42.000 Some of these guns are even printed on 3D printers in their homes.
00:25:46.000 So that can be hard to get control of.
00:25:50.000 And I will just say, you know, there's been some press conferences recently with the Somali community saying this is an American problem, not a Somali problem.
00:26:02.000 But you also have the Bloomington police chief who's saying, you know, this is different. 0.98
00:26:06.000 They're driving fancy cars.
00:26:07.000 We've seen this for ourselves as well.
00:26:09.000 And you also have this statistic that can't be ignored here 90% of Somali families in the state of Minnesota are on welfare.
00:26:17.000 Those are the facts. 0.89
00:26:18.000 And 90% of the people who have been charged in this widespread fraud and so many Medicaid programs, other Fraud schemes we've seen, 90% of those defendants are Somali.
00:26:29.000 And this is a population a little more than 100,000 in the state of Minnesota. 0.61
00:26:34.000 And this Somali gang violence isn't just in the cities, you guys. 0.67
00:26:37.000 This was out in Wilmer, which is a couple hours away from the cities.
00:26:42.000 They had a Somali gang shooting just a couple of weeks ago outside their fairgrounds.
00:26:47.000 So this is statewide.
00:26:48.000 Yeah, it almost smacks of, you know, when you hear the police chief Booker talking about how they have money and they're in these.
00:26:56.000 You know, big mortgage.
00:26:57.000 Think of something that happened a year ago.
00:27:00.000 And it, yeah, it just feels like, you know, we're paying for these lavish lifestyles of these gangbangers, these kids.
00:27:07.000 And here's where it gets really insulting, Liz.
00:27:09.000 And we pulled these clips this morning.
00:27:12.000 The Somali community is now holding press conferences and they're blaming us, Americans.
00:27:20.000 SOT 6.
00:27:21.000 We strongly condemn gun violence and youth violence.
00:27:26.000 We recognize that Somali American youth were involved. 1.00
00:27:30.000 And those responsible must be held accountable.
00:27:33.000 But those are also American youth born and raised all here, educated here, and grew up in our communities.
00:27:42.000 This is not simply a Somali problem.
00:27:46.000 Oh, it's an American problem. 0.59
00:27:48.000 I see.
00:27:49.000 Another clip here that's just infuriating.
00:27:51.000 We'll play it and get your reaction.
00:27:52.000 SOT 12.
00:27:53.000 We came to America, we are a citizen, and so much is expected from us.
00:27:58.000 Sometimes I feel in our community we had too much, we worked very hard.
00:28:03.000 And we really did not give enough attention to our kids.
00:28:07.000 I do believe that because we always tell, well, we have to work hard, we have to do this.
00:28:11.000 And our kids really, maybe somehow, somewhere, they have really, you know, they just.
00:28:19.000 So I just wanted to say that.
00:28:21.000 Thank you all.
00:28:22.000 And I really wanted to thank everyone who really see us as a, you know, contributing member of the community.
00:28:31.000 So, Liz, is it just because they're working too hard?
00:28:33.000 Yeah, that was the one that got us over at Alpha News.
00:28:35.000 We thought it was interesting how the mainstream media here, no one brought up the statistic that 90% of the Somali families in Minnesota are on welfare.
00:28:43.000 They avoid that altogether.
00:28:45.000 I grew up with a very hardworking family as well, and I wasn't out joining gangs as a Minnesota kid myself.
00:28:52.000 So it was interesting to hear how they were trying to spin this in that press conference, and the media ran with it.
00:29:00.000 Yeah, of course they did.
00:29:01.000 Throw this one up 157.
00:29:02.000 This is from Alpha News.
00:29:04.000 State says alleged Somali gang members.
00:29:07.000 Have graciously, I'm adding the graciously, have graciously agreed to stay away from Minnesota State Fair. 0.98
00:29:12.000 Oh, thank goodness.
00:29:13.000 So, am I reading this right?
00:29:15.000 That state officials are negotiating with Somali gangs rather than arresting them?
00:29:21.000 Well, this is what it's come to, you guys.
00:29:23.000 You had Ramsey County, they actually sued these gang members.
00:29:26.000 They said, hey, stay away from the State Fair.
00:29:28.000 That seemed to work.
00:29:29.000 They went to Hennepin County to commit their crimes, where they usually are at this point.
00:29:35.000 Ramsey County has taken a more proactive approach.
00:29:37.000 Probably than any other county in the state.
00:29:39.000 They're leading the charge now to say, hey, we need a regional task force to fix this.
00:29:43.000 But yes, that is in fact what happened this summer, going to the great lengths of actually working with the county attorney in Ramsey County to keep these gang members from the fair.
00:29:56.000 There have been some high profile shootings on the state fairgrounds in years past.
00:30:01.000 So, just to give your audience, I think, a little bit more of a perspective here, this is about a dozen Somali gangs that law enforcement they've identified in Minnesota.
00:30:11.000 About 100 members, and they're responsible for 14 murders in the last couple of years, hundreds of shootings in that time, just the last couple of years.
00:30:21.000 So, we've seen the documentation on all of this.
00:30:24.000 And again, months ago, the warning went out to other areas in the metro to say, hey, you guys better come together.
00:30:29.000 We better figure this out.
00:30:31.000 And here we are, months later, nothing seemed to really be going on in those many months.
00:30:36.000 And now, all of a sudden, you know, you go to Edina and there's a shooting, and the people with money are not happy.
00:30:42.000 I will say, in Minnesota, and they're demanding action.
00:30:46.000 This is all very interesting.
00:30:48.000 So, I was talking with somebody that was actually on the ground in Minnesota covering the Michelle Tafoya race, a great reporter.
00:30:55.000 And he basically was like, you know, Minnesota feels different.
00:31:00.000 And I said, well, how so?
00:31:02.000 And, you know, because we hear about the polling and, you know, we debate whether that's suppression polling or whatever.
00:31:09.000 He said, on the ground, I can feel it that this is a real race between Michelle Tafoya and this Flanagan character who's not a strong candidate, very far left.
00:31:19.000 Give me a sense of the feeling on the ground in Minnesota when you talk to people.
00:31:23.000 It feels like Minnesota's always been this sort of great white whale up in the north.
00:31:26.000 Like we get close two, three points.
00:31:28.000 Every time we come like one or two points.
00:31:29.000 It feels like it's just never going to really happen because it's Minnesota.
00:31:33.000 Are things changing?
00:31:35.000 Is the sentiment changing on the ground?
00:31:37.000 Are people starting to get fed up, Liz?
00:31:40.000 Yeah, you know, we actually hear from folks all the time over at Alpha News.
00:31:43.000 We receive a lot of our news tips from Democrats.
00:31:45.000 That didn't happen before, but they are fed up with so much of this and the way the media portrays much of it, burying the lead in many, you know, circumstances here in the state.
00:31:58.000 I will say, very much, law and order on the ballot this.
00:32:02.000 November.
00:32:03.000 And actually, interesting this morning, we were just taking a look. 0.51
00:32:05.000 Amy Klobuchar, again, running for Walls' position as governor now against Lisa Damoth.
00:32:12.000 But Klobuchar doesn't even have anything on her website, any sort of public safety plan on her website at all. 0.91
00:32:21.000 She's basically been ignoring this issue.
00:32:23.000 And remember, Peggy Flanagan, now running for that Senate seat, she is the current lieutenant governor of Minnesota.
00:32:31.000 So very much responsible for what has been allowed to play out.
00:32:35.000 Here.
00:32:36.000 So I do think law and order is a very big issue all across the state come November.
00:32:42.000 But also the fraud, right?
00:32:43.000 I mean, you know, I know that's part of law and order, but it just feels like there's a whole political apparatus in that state that would rather essentially bribe a voting block to keep going, getting along, to go along.
00:32:55.000 And it seems like nobody's really going to do anything about it.
00:32:58.000 I'm just wondering could that end up manifesting in a political change, a sea change in Minnesota?
00:33:07.000 It just feels like Minnesota is.
00:33:09.000 The cutting edge of a state that it was progressive, but it was wealthy, it was well run, it was functional.
00:33:15.000 The Democrats, for lack of a better term, like it did seem like they maybe earned some public support, but they have thrown this state away and everyone feels that sense of decline.
00:33:23.000 Oh, absolutely.
00:33:24.000 I mean, when you talk $9 billion in fraud, you know, likely more, you, you know, do see the headlines about plummeting crime elsewhere.
00:33:33.000 They're kind of cooking the books here in Minnesota, I will say, to hide some of that here.
00:33:38.000 I mean, it's pretty easy to see how these Democratic policies.
00:33:43.000 Have led to the decline in the state and actually quite quickly.
00:33:47.000 I mean, we're talking seven, eight years under walls.
00:33:51.000 A lot of damage has been done.
00:33:53.000 And it does seem that there are Democrats willing to cross over.
00:33:58.000 I mean, I've spoken to them personally, some of them myself.
00:34:00.000 Maybe they're not going to tell their friends they're doing so.
00:34:03.000 But you also see some of these Republican candidates try to go more to the middle of the issues because there are so many issues that it seems really should be bipartisan, public safety.
00:34:16.000 You know, cracking down on fraud, just being a couple of them.
00:34:19.000 Yeah.
00:34:19.000 I mean, it's really Minnesota is an example of it's almost like France and Minnesota are running parallel tracks because you guys imported your own problems.
00:34:28.000 It's a demographic problem.
00:34:29.000 I don't know if you can say that, Liz.
00:34:31.000 I'm not expecting you to, but that's what it is. 1.00
00:34:33.000 You imported a third world culture that, you know, is fleecing the system. 1.00
00:34:39.000 They have a country that is, let's just say, it's not a great country. 1.00
00:34:44.000 And you can't expect people that come from a fraudulent country. 1.00
00:34:48.000 I would say, it's not a fraudulent country, but it's a country that is not run well.
00:34:52.000 It's a failed state. 0.97
00:34:53.000 Very corrupt. 0.99
00:34:54.000 It's a very corrupt. 1.00
00:34:55.000 Not just a failed, but it's a backwards one. 1.00
00:34:57.000 It's a tribal society. 0.99
00:34:59.000 It is one that has basically been taken out of the Middle Ages and handed modern technology, modern wealth, but it didn't go through that process of creating modern civilization that we talked about that they went through in Europe, for example, to create America. 0.74
00:35:16.000 Right.
00:35:17.000 Well, and so that's the real problem.
00:35:20.000 And I don't know that.
00:35:21.000 This is the problem with Democrats.
00:35:22.000 Even a moderate Democrat is never going to address that problem.
00:35:25.000 They're never going to get to the root of it.
00:35:27.000 I'm just hopeful, Liz.
00:35:28.000 I guess that's where we can end this.
00:35:30.000 I'm just hopeful that maybe Minnesota can be a standout.
00:35:34.000 And we might have this weird map this year where we have places like Maine electing Susan Collins, a Republican.
00:35:40.000 We might have, you know, Minnesota, New Hampshire, kind of a weird inverted map.
00:35:44.000 We might win Minnesota, New Hampshire, and then lose North Carolina.
00:35:48.000 Yeah, it's going to be a weird map.
00:35:49.000 But final thoughts to you, Liz.
00:35:51.000 You know, I think it was quite telling hearing from Booker Hodges, the Bloomington police chief, yesterday.
00:35:56.000 He said just that.
00:35:57.000 He was kind of at a loss for words over all of this.
00:35:59.000 And he said it's just.
00:36:00.000 Sad that there is such hatred for this country that kids are being taught, and specifically in Minnesota.
00:36:08.000 And that's what he had to say about these horrible charges.
00:36:11.000 But also, I think that applies to what we're seeing with the Somali gang violence problem as well.
00:36:16.000 He said, This is the greatest country on earth, and we need to start telling our kids that instead of the opposite.
00:36:24.000 Good for him.
00:36:25.000 Good for him.
00:36:26.000 Liz, Colin, everybody check out Alpha News. 0.99
00:36:28.000 She does a great job there.
00:36:30.000 One of the best reporters in the country, in my opinion, Liz.
00:36:33.000 I'm so grateful for Alpha News because Minnesota is one of the most important states in the country in terms of showing what the left is doing, what the results of its policies are, and it's a lib leaning state.
00:36:44.000 But we have a great conservative news source to make sure we get the truth about.
00:36:48.000 And Michelle Tafoya, backer campaign.
00:36:50.000 It's a real shot.
00:36:51.000 It's a real shot.
00:36:52.000 I'm not getting my hopes up, but it's a real shot.
00:36:55.000 Liz, great to see you.
00:36:56.000 Talk to you soon.
00:36:58.000 And until next time.
00:36:58.000 Thanks.

00:37:50.000 I don't believe at the end of the day that Ilhan Omar, that Mandani, that they're ultimately socialists or communists.
00:37:57.000 Muslims have seen the same polls that we see, and they know that Islam does not sell well in the West, but they have seen.
00:38:06.000 That socialism and even communism pull reasonably well among Gen Zers and millennials. 1.00
00:38:13.000 They're using socialism as a Trojan horse to create an Islamic state. 1.00
00:38:19.000 That is the goal. 0.99
00:38:21.000 Socialism is merely the Trojan horse.
00:38:24.000 America, pay attention.
00:38:31.000 All right, that's a new documentary by our friend Steve Cortez, who joins the show now.
00:38:37.000 Welcome back, Steve.
00:38:38.000 It's good to see you.
00:38:39.000 This is an important project.
00:38:41.000 You know, everybody check it.
00:38:43.000 Former Trump advisor and Cortez Investigates.com.
00:38:48.000 That's the website.
00:38:48.000 So everybody check it out there.
00:38:50.000 See, why, you know, we just covered the FBI foiled terror plot in.
00:38:56.000 Guy going to take some. 0.76
00:38:57.000 In Little Somalia. 0.94
00:38:59.000 In Minnesota.
00:39:00.000 His name, what was it?
00:39:01.000 It was.
00:39:01.000 Mohammed Ocean.
00:39:03.000 Something, Abdullah. 1.00
00:39:05.000 Sheikh dude. 0.69
00:39:05.000 Sheikh dude. 0.69
00:39:06.000 Yeah. 0.97
00:39:07.000 So we go from one Muslim filled upper Midwest state. 1.00
00:39:10.000 To the next, and you focus on Michigan. 1.00
00:39:12.000 So tell us about why you focused on Michigan and why you did this project, Steve.
00:39:16.000 Yes, thank you for having me.
00:39:18.000 I really appreciate it.
00:39:19.000 This is such an important work, and not just because I made it, but it's important for this country.
00:39:23.000 I went to Dearborn, Michigan, because that is the city in America that has been most overtaken by mass Muslim migration to this country.
00:39:30.000 Dearborn, Michigan, if people know it historically, they mostly know it through Ford Motor Company. 0.94
00:39:34.000 I mean, this is really the heart of America, especially industrial America.
00:39:37.000 Well, it is now a place that is unrecognizable, I think, to most Americans.
00:39:41.000 Nearly every sign in town is in Arabic. 0.74
00:39:44.000 There are women walking around everywhere with the full on Muslim dress, the hijabs, including, you know, even covering their faces and eyes.
00:39:50.000 There are at least three very large mosques that do public prayer calls throughout the city.
00:39:55.000 The police force, Is totally Islamic, and they have de facto Sharia law in Dearborn, Michigan.
00:40:02.000 And of course, they're now trying to elect one of their own, Abdul El Sayed, to the United States Senate.
00:40:07.000 And by all credible polling, including my own polling, it is a very tight race right now.
00:40:12.000 So I think this issue could be determinative in that race. 1.00
00:40:16.000 And I am trying to raise the warning for the good citizens of Michigan and all over America that Islam is not compatible. 1.00
00:40:23.000 It is simply not compatible with Western civilization, with our way of life, and electing somebody a radical. 0.90
00:40:29.000 anti American pro Muslim brotherhood extremist like al Syed would be ruinous for this country.
00:40:37.000 Well, this is really interesting.
00:40:39.000 Al Syed, I just found out because of an interview that Mike Rogers, his Republican opponent, obviously did that he not only grew up spending his summers in Egypt, he refused to condemn the Ayatollah, he refuses to condemn the Muslim brotherhood or care, and he equated Sharia law to canon law, which is Pretty interesting.
00:41:01.000 He's best buddies with Hassan Piker, who's Turkish and is a total political goblin who celebrates political murder and assassination culture, mocked Charlie's death, so much more.
00:41:13.000 But he also has a luxury property, Steve, in the United Arab Emirates. 0.95
00:41:20.000 And then there's this clip voting that he was a dual citizen.
00:41:22.000 And it's like, I never said that. 0.94
00:41:23.000 Oh, well, you did say it.
00:41:25.000 We have the clip. 0.99
00:41:26.000 I mean, this guy is a complete fraudster. 0.72
00:41:29.000 And I love what your interview guest in that first clip said. 0.88
00:41:33.000 They use.
00:41:34.000 Socialism and far left parties across the West because that's the vehicle through which they can transmit into the United States, into Western democracies.
00:41:42.000 Because they know the conservatives aren't going to give them hearing.
00:41:45.000 We're on to this.
00:41:46.000 We love Western civilization.
00:41:48.000 But they know that the lefties will let them in. 0.98
00:41:51.000 And there's a lot of data here, Steve, and I'm sure you're aware of it, that shows very conservative Muslims will latch on to socialist parties in the West because that's the way they get in. 0.96
00:42:01.000 Yeah, that's exactly right. 0.84
00:42:02.000 So there is this red green alliance.
00:42:04.000 And in many ways, it is a strange alliance. 0.89
00:42:06.000 Right, because certainly on social issues, they're not going to agree on very much, but nonetheless, they have the same common enemy, which is Western civilization, which is historic Christianity. 0.59
00:42:16.000 That is their common enemy, and so they're willing to put their differences aside for now to form this political alliance a very toxic political alliance that we see here in the United States.
00:42:24.000 You know, I'm right now at Georgetown University, which is my alma mater, and just last night I did a forum here for Al Jazeera with Mehdi Hassan.
00:42:32.000 As you might imagine, he and I don't agree on very much, and Mehdi Hassan tried to claim that there is no such thing.
00:42:38.000 As this radical left and Muslim alliance forming in the United States and in other Western countries.
00:42:44.000 Well, of course, he's dead wrong on that.
00:42:45.000 It's very clear that it is happening here with characters like Mamdani, like Ilhan Omar, and now like Abdul El Sayed. 0.93
00:42:53.000 And I'm making the point, the bigger point, that mass Muslim migration to this country has not been constructive for our society. 1.00
00:43:00.000 It is not making us a better, stronger, more cohesive country. 1.00
00:43:04.000 It just is not.
00:43:05.000 It does not work for us. 1.00
00:43:07.000 I'm against mass migration from the third world, by the way, but particularly from Muslim. 1.00
00:43:11.000 Dominated countries.
00:43:12.000 And one of the main reasons, by the way, and I'm sure you know this and realize this, Andrew, and I'm sure most of your audience does, there's nothing virtuous about tolerating the intolerant. 0.69
00:43:21.000 And when we look at Muslims who take their faith seriously, and when we look at Muslim dominated countries, they do not believe in our values, not at all. 0.81
00:43:29.000 And just for starters, they certainly don't believe in free speech. 0.99
00:43:32.000 Well, it's impossible for us to have a virtuous and prosperous and free society without the bedrock principle of free speech, which these people do not believe in.
00:43:41.000 But nonetheless, I think we have to take the threat very seriously.
00:43:44.000 Certainly, they have already overtaken some locales, places in Texas, places in Minnesota, as you mentioned, and definitely Dearborn, Michigan, which is why I went there to put a camera on it and to interview very smart people, both locally as well as experts like Larry Taunton, who you showed in that clip right there. 0.99
00:44:00.000 Larry Taunton, by the way, is an evangelical who does a fantastic job of exposing Islam.
00:44:05.000 He is a true expert on the Quran, somebody who has studied Islam deeply, who has debated some of the most radical Muslims in the West. 0.71
00:44:14.000 And so it was important, I think, for him to come on my show, on my It's just a 20 minute documentary, by the way.
00:44:19.000 It's not a long investment.
00:44:20.000 So I ask you to please watch it, share it.
00:44:22.000 There's no paywall at all.
00:44:23.000 We just want as many people as possible to see it, especially, of course, in the state of Michigan.
00:44:28.000 I think ultimately we're going to win this race.
00:44:30.000 Mike Rogers is going to prevail.
00:44:31.000 And I think mostly because of this issue, because Al Sayed is just not in any way consistent with the Midwestern values of a place like Michigan. 1.00
00:44:41.000 How many Muslims are there in Michigan, Steve?
00:44:44.000 You know, I don't know numerically, but in percentage terms, it's only 2%.
00:44:47.000 So they're not that significant.
00:44:49.000 However, Because they are so well organized and concentrated.
00:44:53.000 A state that goes 2% one way or the other.
00:44:56.000 And 2% when a group can vote in block ends up mattering a lot.
00:45:01.000 A ton.
00:45:01.000 Yeah, that's exactly right.
00:45:02.000 Steve, I want to play another two minutes.
00:45:03.000 And in this case, by the way, go ahead.
00:45:04.000 Yeah, Al Sayed would not have won if it were not because he barely won the Democrat primary over Haley Stevens.
00:45:11.000 And he would not have won without such substantial turnout from Dearborn.
00:45:16.000 He was getting literally 94% of the vote in Muslim majority precincts.
00:45:20.000 Extremely high turnout.
00:45:22.000 They're very motivated about this.
00:45:23.000 Oh, yeah.
00:45:23.000 Politics for them.
00:45:24.000 We realize Islam, it's more an ideology.
00:45:26.000 It's more of a political idea.
00:45:28.000 It's a religion.
00:45:29.000 Yeah, of course.
00:45:29.000 It blends both to some degree, but it's more of a political movement, and they are very organized.
00:45:34.000 Let's play Stop 14.
00:45:36.000 Consider Dearborn, Michigan.
00:45:38.000 It's the symbolic and geographic heart of America.
00:45:43.000 But what does Al Sayyid really think?
00:45:45.000 What does he really think of us?
00:45:47.000 I hate my girls so much. 0.93
00:45:49.000 Every time I've ever come here, I've hated it.
00:45:51.000 Why am I here?
00:45:53.000 But even worse, much worse.
00:45:55.000 He embraces a hateful but influential online star, Hassan Piker.
00:46:00.000 He has a serious following as he spews venom and vitriol, abject hate for this country.
00:46:06.000 I don't support the state of Israel, and I don't support the state of the United States of America.
00:46:11.000 My favorite flag, Hezbollah. 0.53
00:46:13.000 We recently filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the city of Dearborn and its mayor, essentially complaining about the discrimination that the city of Dearborn is imposing against Christians and Jews.
00:46:28.000 Yeah, I mean, the Hassan Piker thing, let me dive into that just really quick.
00:46:32.000 Sure. 0.99
00:46:32.000 Some street shit. 0.99
00:46:33.000 Hassan Piker, unfortunately, does have some influence, but he is one of the most toxic people in American life. 1.00
00:46:38.000 And I'm not exaggerating when I say that. 0.57
00:46:40.000 He's somebody who truly hates this country, somebody who has exploited this country and become rich off of spreading his venom, but somebody who's very, very dangerous. 0.99
00:46:48.000 And he is a bestie of Al-Sayed.
00:46:50.000 That alone should disqualify him from ever holding public office in this country. 0.92
00:46:53.000 So please, please watch my documentary with all of the facts, all of the clips.
00:46:57.000 Steve, there's a new poll here that is not an internal poll.
00:47:03.000 You're an expert at understanding the tea leaves when it comes to the Hispanic vote, especially, but you do everything.
00:47:09.000 I'm not pigeonholing you here.
00:47:11.000 But let's look at Texas really quick.
00:47:13.000 I mean, the Muslim thing is huge, and we've been covering it all show. 0.95
00:47:16.000 But you really do think there has been movement away from the Republican Party from 2024 to 2026, specifically about the economy.
00:47:26.000 But when we think about Texas, fuse those two lines of thinking together for me.
00:47:32.000 How are we doing?
00:47:34.000 The new poll says it's 50 50 right there.
00:47:37.000 It's a jump ball in Texas.
00:47:39.000 Is that how you're seeing things?
00:47:40.000 I am.
00:47:41.000 And I think most of these states are essentially jump balls.
00:47:43.000 I think they're all very winnable races for us. 0.98
00:47:45.000 But clearly, the most important leakage from the coalition from 2024 right now is Hispanics. 0.99
00:47:51.000 And I'm seeing this in my own polling, and I'm seeing it also in what I think is credible public polling out there.
00:47:56.000 But here's the big mistake that the establishment Republicans and the corporate media want us to believe they want us to believe that it's about immigration, and it is not.
00:48:03.000 Now, I did a national Hispanic poll just Hispanics because I wanted to get to this very issue.
00:48:08.000 You know, what is angering them?
00:48:09.000 Why are we losing the gains that we made, magnificent gains in 2024?
00:48:14.000 And I find overwhelmingly, It is about the economy.
00:48:17.000 Hispanics are a working class constituency overall that is just demographically who we are, generally not wealthy people.
00:48:24.000 And the inflation simply bites harder.
00:48:26.000 It stings harder for working class people, Hispanic men particularly, because that's where we really made the biggest gains.
00:48:32.000 Of course, President Trump won the Hispanic male vote in 2024.
00:48:36.000 But Hispanic men are people who drive, they're people who drive trucks, often big trucks.
00:48:40.000 Diesel prices are very, very problematic for them.
00:48:42.000 They're not people who have a lot of financial cushion.
00:48:45.000 And so the war and the spike in prices has been really irritating to Hispanics. 0.93
00:48:50.000 I believe we can get them back because they're not going to find a cultural home in the radical Democrat Party. 0.99
00:48:55.000 They certainly don't agree with Islam. 0.65
00:48:57.000 They don't agree with there being 30 genders. 1.00
00:48:59.000 They don't agree with open borders. 0.71
00:49:00.000 However, I think we need to just recognize reality, which is this war spiked prices.
00:49:06.000 It sent real wages back to negative, unfortunately.
00:49:09.000 We had a great trend pre war of real wages growing.
00:49:12.000 Real wages went back to negative because of the war.
00:49:14.000 And working class people, including Hispanics, are very irritated about it.
00:49:19.000 And that has me concerned about a lot of states. 1.00
00:49:21.000 Your state of Arizona, Texas, a lot of places, even Georgia, for example, people don't realize how Latin Georgia is.
00:49:27.000 About 10% of Georgia is Hispanic.
00:49:29.000 And I think those are going to be tough races there, largely because we don't have quite the Hispanic support that we did previously. 0.83
00:49:34.000 Now, again, I'm optimistic we can get it back, but we better wrap up this war and we better get diesel prices down. 0.70
00:49:41.000 It's a long term thing, but an underrated split I think that's happening in politics is the difference between people who live in a real economy and people who live in a fake economy.
00:49:52.000 So you live in a fake economy if you're a government employee.
00:49:55.000 Where you can kind of, you'll probably never really get laid off if you're reliant on.
00:50:00.000 Trump's laid off a lot.
00:50:01.000 Yeah, a lot.
00:50:01.000 But that was a rude awakening to reality for a lot of them.
00:50:05.000 But if you're in a business that actually has to make payroll each month, if you have to buy and sell, if you work in the real world, you're not just working in spreadsheets, working in emails, working in digital cyberspace.
00:50:17.000 If you are in the real world, that's a trend in our favor because Democrats are so hostile to that sector of the economy.
00:50:25.000 But as you say, Steve, that also means they're very reactive to.
00:50:29.000 Fluctuations in things like gas prices.
00:50:31.000 It's so true.
00:50:32.000 They are people who drive a truck for a living.
00:50:35.000 They rack up lives.
00:50:36.000 They notice it. 1.00
00:50:38.000 The average Hispanic household has literally an extra person compared to other households in America. 1.00
00:50:44.000 So it's an extra mouth to feed. 1.00
00:50:46.000 Hispanics, on average, are a much younger demographic. 0.95
00:50:48.000 They're actually a full decade younger than non Hispanic Americans. 0.51
00:50:53.000 Younger people tend to not own a lot of assets. 0.72
00:50:56.000 So this isn't a constituency that has enjoyed some of the asset appreciation, which has been very good for the wealthy in our society. 0.82
00:51:02.000 Again, this is a working class.
00:51:03.000 Constituency.
00:51:04.000 And to be specific with the numbers, by the way, I even specifically asked in this national Hispanic poll, what concerns you more?
00:51:11.000 Is it high prices or immigration enforcement?
00:51:14.000 73 to 19% it's high prices. 0.99
00:51:17.000 Only 19% of Hispanics. 1.00
00:51:20.000 And those, by the way, that 19%, that's an unwinnable group, largely live in California, by the way. 0.53
00:51:26.000 And only 19% said that what concerns them more right now is immigration enforcement.
00:51:31.000 So overwhelmingly, Hispanics are pro law and order.
00:51:34.000 They are overrepresented in law enforcement, as a matter of fact.
00:51:37.000 In this same poll, when I actually describe the Trump deportation agenda, which is offering generous incentives, we offer you a free trip home, cash in your pocket, and the ability to reapply later.
00:51:48.000 When I describe that policy to Hispanics, we get super majority support in polling.
00:51:52.000 It gets up actually into the 60s.
00:51:54.000 So it's just a myth that Hispanics are loose on law and order or that they are soft on the border.
00:52:00.000 That's not true. 1.00
00:52:00.000 However, we have a problem right now with Hispanics, and it's because of prices. 1.00
00:52:05.000 Yeah. 0.90
00:52:05.000 So if you had a crystal ball, if you had a magic wand, And you were talking to President Trump. 0.90
00:52:11.000 You are a former Trump advisor.
00:52:13.000 What would you tell him to hone in on from a messaging standpoint as we race towards the last four weeks?
00:52:19.000 Yeah, the last four weeks of the election season here.
00:52:21.000 Ballots are already out in a lot of states.
00:52:23.000 Right.
00:52:23.000 No, voting's already started, of course.
00:52:24.000 And what I would say is two things. 0.69
00:52:27.000 First of all, focus on the fact that, or the projection, I think a reasonable projection, that Iran, once we get past the election, will have every incentive to wrap up this war. 0.82
00:52:37.000 I mean, I just believe that. 0.71
00:52:38.000 They're as aware of our political calendar and our polling as we are, right?
00:52:42.000 So they do not have an incentive.
00:52:44.000 To be reasonable until we get to November.
00:52:46.000 But afterward, we're going to reach a settlement.
00:52:48.000 We're going to end this war.
00:52:49.000 We're going to get back to a pre war trajectory of growing real wages.
00:52:53.000 The Trump 2.0 boom was working pre war.
00:52:56.000 So I think he can talk about that.
00:52:57.000 But here's a second angle that I have.
00:52:59.000 And I don't know that President Trump will grab onto this or not.
00:53:02.000 But in terms of reducing the deficit to get inflation under control, besides ending the war, I think the best thing we can do, and I know a lot of right wingers won't agree with me on this, but the best thing we can do is raise taxes on the very wealthiest Americans.
00:53:14.000 I believe that needs to happen.
00:53:16.000 We have a mountain of unsustainable debt.
00:53:18.000 There's going to be sacrifice required to start attacking that $40 trillion in debt.
00:53:22.000 The middle class has no cushion to absorb sacrifice at this point, to make sacrifices.
00:53:28.000 So I believe the wealthy need to, it would be incredibly politically popular, very populist.
00:53:32.000 I think promising that right now and saying we will get that done even in the lame duck session after the election before the new Congress is seated, I think that would go a long way toward addressing the concerns of Hispanics and working class students.
00:53:44.000 I actually don't disagree with you.
00:53:45.000 I know there's going to be some people in this audience that have an issue with that, and they'll probably email us freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:53:51.000 But this was something Charlie was wrestling with.
00:53:53.000 A lot during the BBB debate.
00:53:57.000 He understood the politics of it, right?
00:53:59.000 That if you're making over a certain amount, here's the truth.
00:54:03.000 Only Washington can create inflation.
00:54:06.000 This is the great Milton Friedman line.
00:54:08.000 Milton Friedman wanted us to set money growth at 3% a year, get the economists out of it so that we couldn't print our way into these inflationary periods like we saw under Joe Biden after COVID.
00:54:19.000 So the point is if we do not start paying our bills, And balancing our budget, you're just going to keep getting more inflation.
00:54:27.000 There's no way around this.
00:54:29.000 That is where it's coming.
00:54:30.000 If we do not balance our books, you're going to keep getting inflation.
00:54:33.000 And guess what happens?
00:54:34.000 That benefits the economic incumbents, the asset class, and it hurts working class people.
00:54:39.000 It hurts people that are just entering the workforce, like our students.
00:54:44.000 Final thoughts to you, Steve Cortez.
00:54:45.000 Are you watching the early returns very closely?
00:54:48.000 15 seconds?
00:54:49.000 Yes, I am.
00:54:49.000 And by the way, I think we're doing very well with ballot returns so far.
00:54:53.000 So that is actually very, very good news.
00:54:54.000 Again, all these races are winnable.
00:54:56.000 Please go to Cortez Investigates.com, Cortez with an S at the end.
00:54:59.000 You can watch this documentary and see all of my work.
00:55:01.000 Thank you both so much for having me.
00:55:03.000 Steve, good to see you again, man.
00:55:04.000 All right, we'll talk to you soon.
00:55:08.000 Microplastics are becoming too much of a problem to ignore.
00:55:12.000 They're in 94% of U.S. drinking water, 94%, 90% of our meat and seafood, and the average American inhales, get this, 68,000 microplastic particles each and every single day.
00:55:26.000 The EPA recently decided not to include microplastics in the next nationwide drinking water monitoring program, meaning we likely won't have updated data for years.
00:55:36.000 Even as microplastic exposure continues to rise, scientists have already found microplastics in our blood, our arteries, and even our brains.
00:55:45.000 The good news is that new research suggests there are ways to help your body fight back.
00:55:50.000 Certain probiotic strains found in kimchi have demonstrated the ability to not only remove toxins like BPA, new research is also exploring how these same beneficial bacteria help bind and excrete microplastics before they can do further damage to your body.
00:56:07.000 Kimchi is one of the world's most powerful superfoods, but its strong taste and smell can make daily use, daily intake a challenge.
00:56:14.000 I know it is for me.
00:56:15.000 Kimchi 1 gives you all the benefits of fermented kimchi in an easy to take capsule without the mess or hassle.
00:56:22.000 Each capsule delivers over 900 probiotic strains, live enzymes, and antioxidants that help restore and balance your gut.
00:56:31.000 People are seeing improvements in digestion, bloating, regularity, energy, and metabolism.
00:56:36.000 Studies show that kimchi can even reduce the risk of obesity by 30%.
00:56:40.000 1.8%.

00:57:23.000 I love that color. 0.67
00:57:24.000 That's such a great cover.
00:57:25.000 It's a great cover.
00:57:26.000 We've got to talk.
00:57:26.000 Pest rocks.
00:57:27.000 This is my problem.
00:57:28.000 Peachy, welcome.
00:57:30.000 Our biggest problem is we have too much to go over with you, okay?
00:57:32.000 Yeah, we do.
00:57:33.000 There's too much to go over with you.
00:57:35.000 We've got to start here, though, with this copycat Lindsey Clancy stuff.
00:57:39.000 There was a new story this morning that broke, by the way.
00:57:42.000 I don't know if you saw it, but this boy.
00:57:45.000 He's six years old.
00:57:47.000 The mom comes slashing at the three year old girl.
00:57:51.000 The boy, she's 35, 35 year old mom, comes slashing at the little girl.
00:57:56.000 The boy heroically steps in the way to protect the sister during the quote unquote psycho mom stabbing rampage, according to the grandmother.
00:58:05.000 And the boy, as a result, might have to have a limb amputated because he suffered severe injuries, but he managed to save his sister, and it looks like he's going to live at least.
00:58:18.000 But this comes after.
00:58:19.000 This is so recent.
00:58:20.000 It comes after all the ones in this graphic.
00:58:22.000 This is what went viral, right?
00:58:24.000 So 142, throw up 142. 1.00
00:58:26.000 Mom allegedly stabs husband, two young children during early morning attack. 1.00
00:58:29.000 Psycho South Carolina mom stabs her two kids over 50 times. 0.97
00:58:33.000 Missouri mom, who claims she mistakenly placed infant in the oven, killing her, cops a plea deal. 0.90
00:58:37.000 Lindsey Clancy obsessed mom, Corey Walsh sang Wizard of Oz tune after hanging two year old son, and on and on and on.
00:58:44.000 Eight of these, all of these headlines are in the past two weeks.
00:58:47.000 So my question is are we seeing Lindsey Clancy copycats or.
00:58:52.000 Has this just been going on for a long time and we're just now aware of it?
00:58:56.000 Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing.
00:58:57.000 I mean, there have always been these cases, but they were, I feel like they were way rarer.
00:59:02.000 I mean, I remember, you know, Andrea Yates, that was 2001.
00:59:05.000 She, you know, drowned all five of her children, postpartum psychosis.
00:59:09.000 This does feel like at least some of these, I don't know all of them, but some of them definitely are copycats, especially because the women admit they were right on the Facebook page posting about Clancy like the day that they did it.
00:59:22.000 And when that case was going on, I was predicting copycats.
00:59:26.000 Other people on X were predicting that women were going to do these copycats because that's just sort of what happens in these cases. 0.60
00:59:33.000 Which proves it's sort of like there is some kind of social contagion here. 0.77
00:59:38.000 Women are sort of uniquely susceptible to that.
00:59:41.000 We saw this with like ROGD, you know, rapid onset gender dysphoria, where one teenage girl in the group decides she's a boy, and then like very rapidly, like the entire group starts dressing like a boy.
00:59:53.000 This was sort of going on. 0.55
00:59:55.000 This was sort of common how girls would enter these sort of like kind of like psychoses.
01:00:01.000 It's just horrible.
01:00:02.000 And the only thing I was thinking today is.
01:00:05.000 It feels like a new form of Munchausen by proxy syndrome. 0.70
01:00:09.000 You guys know what that is, where a woman has some kind of something wrong with her and she wants to make her child sick to get pity, to get people to pay attention to her, like in this sort of narcissistic attempt to get attention. 0.65
01:00:24.000 This feels like some of these cases may be the next level of that.
01:00:28.000 And like Madeline, all the little girls, they want to get their appendix out too, because Madeline got all the attention, all the.
01:00:36.000 All the like special treats and like the love and adoration, and they watch Lindsay get that.
01:00:40.000 Yeah, it's like so sick.
01:00:42.000 It's not a new thing.
01:00:43.000 I saw someone point out that many middle class houses had fainting, special fainting couches in the 1800s.
01:00:49.000 It was a common trope in novels at that time that an emotionally overwrought woman would faint from the sheer emotion.
01:00:57.000 And then, of course, this started to happen in real life.
01:00:59.000 And more recently, we saw we've seen anorexia that comes and goes in waves.
01:01:04.000 Girls become goth or something.
01:01:07.000 We're gonna have this. 0.99
01:01:08.000 Famous case out of Greece.
01:01:09.000 Tell the story of this.
01:01:10.000 Oh, yeah, of course.
01:01:10.000 In the city, was it Halicarnassus?
01:01:12.000 I'm not sure the name of the city.
01:01:14.000 One of those Greek cities, no, I think it was Mytilene, I think, or Miletus.
01:01:18.000 Miletus, someone commits, a girl commits suicide, gets a lot of attention.
01:01:22.000 There's suddenly a suicide epidemic in this city of Miletus until the archon of the city, or the tyrant, whatever he was, says, we're displaying the next corpse that does this to be eaten by birds out in public.
01:01:34.000 And then it stops.
01:01:36.000 We're going to get this no matter what, but it does seem like we're reaching maximum level of toxicity.
01:01:42.000 When it's, oh, here's your contagion of a woman who murdered three of her kids is getting favorable coverage, becoming a martyr in the press and social media.
01:01:53.000 Yeah, go ahead, Peachy Keenan.
01:01:54.000 Yeah, she's been elevated, Lindsay, to the sort of iconic status, like you said, a murder. 0.99
01:02:00.000 And she became a symbol of female liberation.
01:02:04.000 Like in my book, I have a chapter, Female Liberation Theology, this idea.
01:02:08.000 And I don't think that the Lindsay Clancy Clay, like the actual crime itself, has really anything to do with this, but I think women were interpreting it. 0.76
01:02:15.000 Kind of imposing their own view that this is what women need to do. 0.98
01:02:19.000 This is the end state of feminism. 1.00
01:02:21.000 You have to escape your housewife, your beaten down motherhood. 1.00
01:02:26.000 You got to ditch the kids and the husband to kind of like express who you really are.
01:02:30.000 Now, that is sort of like, is that what Lindsay was doing?
01:02:33.000 No, I do not think so at all.
01:02:34.000 But I think the women see something in her story that they kind of want for themselves. 0.63
01:02:39.000 And so it is extremely disturbing.
01:02:40.000 Yeah. 1.00
01:02:41.000 Peachy, you're Catholic, I believe.
01:02:43.000 And so, you know, it's interesting.
01:02:46.000 My wife, Was saying that she was talking to a bunch of her girlfriends and she's during this Lindsey Clancy trial.
01:02:52.000 And she said a lot of them were experiencing irritability towards their children.
01:02:56.000 And I was like, Are you experiencing that?
01:02:58.000 She's like, Yeah, until I caught it.
01:02:59.000 I caught myself doing it.
01:03:01.000 She's like, I totally believe that there was a spiritual vibe going on.
01:03:07.000 Am I super anecdotal, but this was my wife's lived experience that she was hearing this from her girlfriends during this happening.
01:03:13.000 Do you believe that that's spiritual or is this more psychological?
01:03:18.000 I'm just trying to make heads or tails of this.
01:03:20.000 Yeah.
01:03:21.000 I mean, I definitely understand that.
01:03:23.000 I mean, I get annoyed at my kids.
01:03:26.000 Everybody gets annoyed at their kids.
01:03:27.000 Right.
01:03:27.000 They drive you crazy.
01:03:28.000 But I think that case kind of. 0.80
01:03:30.000 Brought to the forefront, especially on TikTok, where women were posting videos pretending, oops, I dropped my baby off the stairs. 0.71
01:03:36.000 Oops, I'm going to look at my annoying little son. 0.85
01:03:39.000 And so they were kind of like being open with how frustrated they were with their like bratty kids and like quite angry, like quite cruel, these videos.
01:03:48.000 These children are going to watch these one day.
01:03:50.000 And so I think that did open the gate for some moms to think, yeah, you know what?
01:03:55.000 These kids are driving me crazy and I'm going to do something about it and I'm going to talk about it.
01:03:58.000 And I just find that to be, Very, very dark.
01:04:01.000 It's like I have a rule, like, I don't ever badmouth my husband to people.
01:04:05.000 Like, even if we have an argument or I'm annoyed at something he did, I mean, all husbands and wives have that.
01:04:10.000 I don't ever go around and like bitch about him to anyone.
01:04:13.000 And I think the same should be true with your, especially with your toddlers.
01:04:16.000 Of course.
01:04:17.000 They're just little kids.
01:04:18.000 I mean, almost, I'm feeling maybe this already exists, but just the same way that you might be told to watch out for evidence of drug addiction in your family or like you get, you almost get workshops.
01:04:28.000 I feel like we need, like, churches, for example.
01:04:31.000 Might need to have workshops on women, how to make sure you're not accidentally going to set off like a bad social contagion cascade. 0.66
01:04:39.000 Like the mild version you mentioned of bad mouthing your husband, it's totally a thing that you can get into a cycle of women all dumping on each other's husbands, and that can result, one of them gets divorced. 0.88
01:04:49.000 Divorce is also contagious, just like all these other things that we talked about. 0.97
01:04:53.000 Yeah.
01:04:54.000 Like we, I feel a big aspect of modernity is us coming to terms with the fact that we are not wholly autonomous, wholly rational agents who.
01:05:04.000 Act completely independent of everyone else.
01:05:06.000 Charlie talked about this.
01:05:08.000 You are shaped by who you choose to be around.
01:05:10.000 And when we are all around people who are doing these negative social dynamics, dumping on other people, really lionizing someone who murders their kids or does something really destructive, we're unleashing demonic evil forces into our lives that we need to be more aware of.
01:05:28.000 Well, and so Peachy, let's take this like one level deeper here too, because we have the Cornell 7 case.
01:05:33.000 In the first part of hour one, we covered a Alleged rape incident from a congressional candidate that's running up against Abe Hamaday.
01:05:40.000 I don't know if you've seen that story, but it just occurred to us.
01:05:43.000 Both Blake and I were reading this like, well, the story drops when ballots drop, and it's in the backdrop of this Cornell case, protests, vote of no confidence for the administration there.
01:05:54.000 Leticia James, named special prosecutor, who's gone on record saying that the Trump administration's too male, too pale, too stale.
01:06:00.000 This is the gal that's running a frat investigation. 0.99
01:06:03.000 Should go well.
01:06:04.000 So, I mean, but this is a deeper. 1.00
01:06:08.000 There's concerns about our women, Peachy. 1.00
01:06:10.000 There's concerns. 0.99
01:06:11.000 We're concerned.
01:06:14.000 I'll leave it to you to take that where you will.
01:06:16.000 That is like what a lot of my reason I have a writing career. 0.76
01:06:19.000 You know, my first book, Domestic Extremists, was sort of making this case that a lot has gone wrong with American women.
01:06:27.000 And I attribute a lot of that to feminism, to second and third wave feminism that has sold us a lot of lies.
01:06:34.000 And, you know, I hang out with women who are kind of escaped from feminism, and we do really feel like we have escaped from a cult.
01:06:41.000 That was lying to us for a long time and telling us to postpone marriage, to not get married.
01:06:46.000 You don't need a husband to have a family.
01:06:49.000 You have to focus on your career.
01:06:51.000 You're the main character, and that's it.
01:06:53.000 It's you and nobody else, honey.
01:06:56.000 And so we were sold that, and we were sold that in the 90s, and we're continuing to be sold that now.
01:07:00.000 And that's what my first book was about.
01:07:03.000 It really has to change.
01:07:05.000 And I call myself an anti feminist that triggers some people who think you can still be a conservative woman and be a feminist.
01:07:12.000 And they accuse me of like, you don't want women to have rights.
01:07:14.000 You don't think women should be able to vote.
01:07:16.000 I'm like, no, I never said that. 1.00
01:07:18.000 That's like a crazy straw man. 0.73
01:07:20.000 But we have to get back to sort of this old fashioned tradition, which is there's a reason why young women were encouraged to get married.
01:07:28.000 And have families.
01:07:29.000 There's a reason there was like, you know, Chesterton's fence.
01:07:32.000 There was a reason they had all these guardrails in place for humans because they were kind of tried and true.
01:07:37.000 Yeah.
01:07:38.000 I mean, this is why chivalry is a beautiful thing.
01:07:41.000 This is why we teach young men to behave themselves and to keep it in their pants.
01:07:46.000 And by the way, why we teach young women to resist men that are like that, to guard their chastity, because when you don't, you are consenting to a whole smorgasbord of sin.
01:08:00.000 Right.
01:08:00.000 And it's not going to go well.
01:08:02.000 But when you say yes to the first couple steps, guess what?
01:08:04.000 Don't be surprised when it ends in disaster for you.
01:08:07.000 And just because you regret it doesn't mean you get to ruin the lives of seven other young men.
01:08:14.000 I want to just, we got Peachy Keenan waiting here, but I want to throw up a graphic.
01:08:20.000 And it looks like President Trump is speaking right now.
01:08:23.000 So there'll be less of you seeing this, but that's okay.
01:08:26.000 I want to throw up 159.
01:08:27.000 This is a big announcement.
01:08:29.000 Amfest, the speaker graphic is dropping.
01:08:33.000 Within minutes.
01:08:34.000 And so I'm going to do it just a little bit early on this show.
01:08:37.000 159.
01:08:38.000 Throw it up.
01:08:39.000 JD Vance.
01:08:40.000 Oh, yeah.

01:08:44.000 Franklin Graham.
01:08:45.000 That'll be a first time at any MMA.
01:08:48.000 Yeah, I think so.
01:08:49.000 Spencer Pratt.

01:09:05.000 Sorry about that.
01:09:06.000 Jeremy Boring.
01:09:07.000 Matt Gaetz, John Doyle, Kristen Hawkins, James O'Keefe, Nick Friedas, Matt Shaw, third baseman for the Cubs.
01:09:14.000 Sorry about that, Danny.
01:09:16.000 And Gad Sad.
01:09:17.000 That's just the first drop for Andrews.
01:09:19.000 Is that literally the first time Brandon Gill's been on a TPUSA poster?
01:09:24.000 And he made it that far.
01:09:25.000 He's already pretty far up.
01:09:26.000 He is such a rising star.
01:09:27.000 I'm so glad we identified him.
01:09:29.000 We identified that.
01:09:30.000 We were early on the.
01:09:31.000 And I just want to make sure everybody also knows that if you use the code TCKS.
01:09:38.000 So, the Charlie Kirk Show, TCKS.
01:09:41.000 You get 25% off your tickets, all right?

01:09:48.000 So, hopefully, we will see you at Amfest in December at the Phoenix Convention Center, December 17th through the 20th.
01:09:54.000 There's going to be so much going on.
01:09:57.000 And we have a bunch of debates we're about to roll out.
01:10:00.000 You're going to really like our debates.
01:10:02.000 I'm just telling you, absolutely must watch and must attend.
01:10:06.000 So, it's going to be an amazing event.
01:10:07.000 We hope to see you in Phoenix, December 17th through the 20th at Amfest.
01:10:13.000 I'm just really proud of the team.
01:10:14.000 It's a great lineup.
01:10:15.000 JD Vance already on the graphic.
01:10:17.000 He's going to hold it down, our keynote.
01:10:19.000 Peachy, hopefully we see you too.
01:10:21.000 Maybe we got to put you on a debate. 1.00
01:10:23.000 I wonder what maybe we could find some feminist Peachy that we could get you to debate. 1.00
01:10:27.000 It's like you and Rachel Wilson versus somebody. 1.00
01:10:31.000 Or like two, you know what I mean?
01:10:33.000 Probably two conservatives. 1.00
01:10:34.000 Because by the way, there's a lot of conservative women that have a whole lot of feminism and they don't even know it. 1.00
01:10:41.000 Oh, there's a whole debate going on right now. 1.00
01:10:43.000 You guys don't even know.
01:10:43.000 We'll have to do another episode.
01:10:45.000 No, tell us about it.
01:10:45.000 We got five minutes.
01:10:47.000 There's a war. 0.69
01:10:48.000 Well, I have been in various group chats and collectives of women over the years since I've been writing about politics.
01:10:55.000 And there is kind of like a war going on right now between everyone's kind of conservative.
01:11:03.000 Everyone's basically like a pro life.
01:11:05.000 We share so much in common that I'm always like, why is everyone mad?
01:11:08.000 But part of the group, One Factor, believes in feminism strongly and wants to reclaim feminism.
01:11:14.000 They want to rebrand it as no, feminism is good and right and just, and we are going to embrace it.
01:11:21.000 And we are going to reject anti feminists.
01:11:24.000 Their enemy is sort of like people like me who are right wing, MAGA, and anti feminists.
01:11:30.000 Like I said, they think we're like these retrograde, primitive.
01:11:33.000 We want to go back to the, be chained to the kitchens. 0.97
01:11:36.000 And then there's a lot of other women, and these are very bright women, lots of books, very academic, smart. 0.99
01:11:42.000 Helen Andrews is among these. 0.99
01:11:44.000 Carrie Gress, they want Molly Hemingway. 0.99
01:11:48.000 They are like, no, we totally reject feminism. 0.99
01:11:51.000 We want to have a new thing.
01:11:52.000 And actually, I'm working with.
01:11:54.000 Scott Yanour has a new initiative he's about to drop from Heritage that's going to be all about this.
01:12:00.000 And I'm really excited to be part of that.
01:12:02.000 And it's basically saying, no, we just need to move away from this label because that framing is now just fully left wing.
01:12:09.000 And basically, it's a Marxist.
01:12:11.000 It was taken over by Marxists in the 60s.
01:12:13.000 We have to have a new word.
01:12:14.000 We got to ditch feminism, leave it in the dustbin of history. 1.00
01:12:17.000 So that's what's going on behind the scenes. 1.00
01:12:19.000 Feminity. 0.99
01:12:20.000 Exactly. 0.97
01:12:21.000 Exactly.
01:12:21.000 Yeah.
01:12:22.000 Yeah.
01:12:22.000 So, what are the contours of this new thing?
01:12:26.000 I'm just curious.
01:12:27.000 Well, I don't want to get, you know, jump the gun.
01:12:28.000 I know that Scott is, you know, there's a whole thing coming out that they'll be rolling out. 0.83
01:12:33.000 But basically, it is like a lot of the themes I wrote about, I've been writing about for years that women who prioritize their family, prioritize motherhood over career, that is a good thing.
01:12:45.000 And we should not make it optional.
01:12:47.000 And I think a lot of the women on the other side, they, I think they're just really, they just don't like Donald Trump.
01:12:54.000 Okay.
01:12:54.000 They used to react very strongly to kind of like right wing.
01:12:59.000 Right wing people, right wing conservatism, it just kind of rubs them the wrong way.
01:13:03.000 I have a hard time knowing exactly where they're coming from. 0.80
01:13:06.000 Because we had Kristen Hawkins on and she kind of got into it on X during the Lindsey Clancy stuff.
01:13:12.000 And, you know, I don't think she appreciated it.
01:13:16.000 She understood.
01:13:17.000 She wasn't herself very offended by it, but she was basically saying, hey, men, relax. 0.99
01:13:22.000 You're driving away the women. 0.97
01:13:23.000 And so I'm open minded to this discussion because I do want to be able to be very forceful. 0.99
01:13:30.000 When it comes to common sense, when it comes to holding women accountable for their own actions, because that's a thing too.
01:13:35.000 Women, these people, not you, of course, there's a whole move, a messaging segment of the population that wants to essentially infantilize women and never hold them accountable for anything, never give them the courtesy of holding them accountable for their own agency. 0.99
01:13:50.000 We can't have that.
01:13:52.000 But I do want to make sure that the language is welcoming to women and says, hey, this is your movement too.
01:14:00.000 But it's a tricky balance to find.
01:14:02.000 Yeah.
01:14:03.000 And I think the other side, there is a large, like I said, group of conservative, mostly Christian women who do accuse the right, the MAGA right, of being misogynist when they people make jokes about we need to repeal the 19th Amendment, you know, things like that.
01:14:15.000 They take it seriously.
01:14:16.000 They really do feel like deeply offended.
01:14:18.000 I think there's some thin skin on that side.
01:14:21.000 But the whole thing is that right wing men are misogynist. 0.98
01:14:23.000 They clearly hate women. 0.97
01:14:25.000 They want to put us all back in the kitchen. 0.92
01:14:26.000 They think we're these like trad wives, these like stereotypes.
01:14:30.000 We're not, you know.
01:14:31.000 And so I think a lot of what they're coming from is like not real.
01:14:34.000 Like I think they're kind of reacting to, A straw man who doesn't really exist.
01:14:39.000 I mean, here I am.
01:14:40.000 I have always been treated great by men in the conservative movement.
01:14:44.000 I have never, like, I don't feel that maybe because I'm Gen X.
01:14:48.000 Yeah, but you're younger than me.
01:14:51.000 You're just, you're like the ideal in so many ways.
01:14:54.000 You know how to speak our language.
01:14:56.000 We know how to speak yours because it's the same language, the same value set.
01:14:59.000 And we have the same goals.
01:15:00.000 And so I have to ask you about this, though, Peachy.
01:15:04.000 You have a background in entertainment, broadly speaking.
01:15:09.000 Paramount deal.
01:15:10.000 Good, bad?
01:15:11.000 Are you stoked?
01:15:13.000 Is Hollywood dead?
01:15:14.000 One minute.
01:15:16.000 I think it's great.
01:15:17.000 I love the deal.
01:15:18.000 I have very high hopes for it, but mainly I'm happy because Netflix is going to sink now.
01:15:24.000 Warner Brothers had to be sold.
01:15:25.000 They were going to be sold to somebody.
01:15:28.000 Netflix lost.
01:15:30.000 Netflix basically run by the Obamas and their cartel.
01:15:33.000 So I'm very happy to see them lose.
01:15:34.000 But anyone thinking that David Ellison is some kind of right wing conservative and that Paramount movies are going to be these conservative values?
01:15:41.000 No.
01:15:42.000 I mean, they're run by Dana Goldberg of Skydance, she's a liberal feminist. 0.97
01:15:46.000 So Everyone has to tamp their expectations down so the movies are going to be better.
01:15:51.000 But I feel like it's a very healthy sign for Hollywood.
01:15:54.000 Oh, good.
01:15:55.000 We'll see.
01:15:56.000 They're going to move out, though, right?
01:15:58.000 Aren't they like closing the studio?
01:15:59.000 I don't think so.
01:16:00.000 No, I think that was canceled with this.
01:16:01.000 I think they're going to stay.
01:16:02.000 They may have offices and shoot elsewhere, but I think the studio on Melrose in LA will, I think, still be Paramount.
01:16:09.000 There it is.
01:16:10.000 Peachy Keenan.
01:16:11.000 Everybody check out our book, Super Villains.
01:16:13.000 She is the base resident trad wife female that we love. 1.00
01:16:18.000 Stay bass.
