00:00:53.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:05.000The virus has changed a lot of ways businesses operate.
00:01:08.000We spend more time on video calls, email, and in-chat discussions.
00:01:11.000Unfortunately, many of these conversations are not nearly as safe or private as we think they are.
00:01:16.000Interference from foreign governments, hackers, and third-party advertisers mean that our private beliefs, ideas, and intellectual property are being shared, stored, and spied on.
00:01:25.000Luckily, I found SquadPod, the only 100% American-owned and operated private team communication platform available today.
00:01:31.000Squadpod protects your privacy, intellectual property, and right to free speech.
00:02:08.000And we're going to make it a great day because we are going to force ourselves into joy and positivity and optimism.
00:02:13.000I'm here with Isabel Brown, who has been a champion the last week, as my voice has been, let's just say, worn down.
00:02:22.000We did 12 hours of broadcasting last Wednesday, and I think we did six hours after that.
00:02:28.000A lot happening in the news cycle right now.
00:02:31.000The House of Representatives is doing kind of a first vote, a Robert Rules of Order vote, it seems, to try and introduce articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump.
00:02:44.000The House resolution, I think this is technically H.R. 1.
00:02:48.000This is the first thing they're doing as the new Congress, a resolution impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
00:02:59.000It goes on to say that the articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives in the name itself and of the people of the United States against Donald J. Trump basically are saying that in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.
00:03:13.000It goes on to say that the high crimes and misdemeanors are allegedly inciting the group last Wednesday that went into the Capitol building, which resulted in deaths from cops, deaths from people that went in, just a tragic, awful sequence of events.
00:03:32.000It goes on to say that it quotes him, but it does not quote where he said that you should go to the Capitol peacefully and patriotically.
00:03:41.000It does say that, quote, if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.
00:03:46.000They are making the argument that President Donald Trump incited this form of violence.
00:03:51.000Now, you might say, well, why are they impeaching him?
00:03:54.000Can't they just wait literally a week?
00:03:57.000Because in one week, there will be a transfer of power in our country.
00:04:02.000As hard as it is to say, that is something that looks to be all but certain.
00:04:08.000Well, they're doing this for a couple reasons.
00:04:10.000The Democrats are trying to turn anyone that was even remotely close to President Trump, his movements, and his ideas.
00:04:19.000They're trying to completely banish them from all sort of political thought.
00:04:23.000Congresswoman Liz Cheney from the state of Wyoming has come out and said that she supports impeachment.
00:04:30.000There are five or six other Republicans as well.
00:04:33.000Republicans are running for cover and they're running for cover quickly, mostly because a lot of them see a political opportunity right now.
00:04:41.000So, Isabel, can you help build that out how some Republicans are kind of running for the Hills?
00:04:45.000Ultimately, I think we're seeing a really clear schism in the Republican Party right now between individuals who are answering to their constituents who maybe are upset about the results of this last election, are rightfully concerned with some pretty credible allegations of voter fraud that were never followed up on in a court of law or by our Congress of the United States.
00:05:05.000And then individuals who are trying to appease the establishment Republican Party, trying to keep good favor in the United States Congress.
00:05:11.000Obviously, we know that things accomplished in Congress are usually done through party favors and from the top down when it comes to leadership within the individual parties.
00:05:20.000So right now, you're seeing a lot of those Republican Party loyalists, maybe who've been in office for several years or several decades, start to align more with this idea of impeaching Trump, whereas individuals more responsible to their constituents are trying to hold the line a little bit there.
00:05:34.000Andy Biggs has called for the removal of Liz Cheney as head of the Republican conference chair, as has Jim Jordan.
00:05:43.000And we're starting to see there is kind of this schism happening.
00:05:51.000I don't think she should be the chair of the Republican Conference anymore.
00:05:55.000The reality is she's not representing the conference.
00:06:00.000And so what has really bothered me throughout this entire event post what happened tragically last Wednesday is you're starting to see who really supported President Donald Trump and his ideas and who just said they supported his agenda and his ideas.
00:06:18.000You're starting to see at the first opportunity of trying to banish him and trying to eliminate his existence completely.
00:06:28.000You're starting to see people like Liz Cheney and others really lean into that.
00:06:43.000I can't think of anything that would unify this country more if there was a big bipartisan vote in favor of impeachment.
00:06:51.000Every second that this president remains in office is a danger to this country and to the world.
00:06:57.000So again, they can't wait seven days, but it's really not about seven days.
00:07:01.000It is about trying to put not just a flag down, but also draw a line where they say, if you support him, you will no longer...
00:07:13.000They are even saying you shouldn't be allowed to fly on airplanes, just so we're clear.
00:07:17.000But you will not be allowed indecent or polite conversation at all whatsoever.
00:07:21.000And we can all agree what happened last Wednesday was horrific and tragic.
00:07:25.000In fact, I was watching some of the video last night, and it's really hard to watch some of the new videos that have been coming out.
00:07:32.000And we're not going to show them here on this live stream.
00:07:34.000But when you watch a police officer of the United States, the police officer, Washington, D.C., and we have those shirts that say police officers matter, and you see some people come up and just beat him from the back and he just collapses.
00:07:57.000And so there's a lot of understandable rage and there's a lot of understandable, let's say, discontent.
00:08:04.000However, there are political opportunists now on the Democrats that are now using this event.
00:08:11.000And I would like to say to try to accomplish pre-existing political goals.
00:08:15.000On the live stream here, you can see on the bottom right hand of your screen, this is to agree to the resolution to impeach the president of the United States.
00:08:54.000So it looks like it's increasingly likely that this impeachment vote will come through today.
00:08:59.000We're going to be monitoring that very closely.
00:09:01.000And look, this is a full-throated attempt to try to recreate history, to try to destroy a president at all costs and try to destroy his movement alongside of it.
00:09:13.000And Tucker Carlson brought up a great point last evening on Fox News.
00:09:18.000If you really want to get rid of Donald Trump, just ignore him.
00:09:28.000We actually denounce that completely and categorically.
00:09:32.000But instead, what they've done is the exact opposite.
00:09:37.000Let's try to make him seem even bigger.
00:09:40.000And this is the first time in the history of our country that a president is facing two impeachment resolutions within one calendar year, let alone at all, in any form of a presidency.
00:09:53.000And all of this stems from what happened last week.
00:10:13.000He said, invoking the 25th Amendment in such a manner would set a terrible precedent.
00:10:17.000After the horrific events of this last week, our administration's energy is directed to ensuring an orderly transition.
00:10:23.000The Bible says that, quote, for everything there is a season and for a time for every purpose under heaven, a time the heel time to build up.
00:10:31.000In the midst of a global pandemic, economic hardship for millions of people and the tragic events of January the 6th, now is the time for us to come together.
00:10:39.000This is not going to allow anyone to heal at all whatsoever.
00:10:44.000Instead, this is going to try to poke the eye in the Trump supporters.
00:10:47.000Basically, this is their revenge towards President Trump, towards everyone who supported him for not making Hillary Clinton president in 2016.
00:11:00.000When Joe Biden becomes president next week, they're going to have a lot of ground to make up.
00:11:06.000And we're going to cover this in the next segment because they're not going to be able to get rid of President Trump's judges.
00:11:13.000They're not going to get rid of his amazing results internationally and geopolitically.
00:11:19.000And because of that, they're doing everything they can to try to rewrite history.
00:11:27.000Making sure big government and big brother not spying on you is very important.
00:11:32.000With some leadership changes that seem to be coming very, very soon, your data is not safe at all.
00:11:39.000But when you anonymize your connection, you could surf the internet freely without wondering who will get a hold of your search history or viewing habits or what they will do with that information.
00:11:47.000Do you want the government to be reading over your shoulder every time you go online?
00:13:40.000Now they're using terrorist, and it's not going to stop.
00:13:45.000Despite people that have denounced the violence, repudiated it, they are now going to group anyone that calls themselves a conservative that term.
00:13:57.000This is not just cancel culture gone wild.
00:14:01.000No, no, no, this is beyond that, okay?
00:14:03.000Now that they control every single instrument of power in our country, that word, especially post-Oklahoma City bombing and post-9-11, is a word that carries a lot of significance in what the government can do to you, where they can all of a sudden make it that you don't get representation.
00:14:26.000You do not get First Amendment rights.
00:14:32.000Let's play tape here of Eric Swalwell comparing President Donald Trump to the leader of Al-Qaeda.
00:14:39.000Well, Osama bin Laden did not enter U.S. soil on September 11, but it was widely acknowledged that he was responsible for inspiring the attack on our country.
00:14:51.000And the president, with his words, using the words fight with the speakers that he assembled that day who called for trial by combat and said we have to take names and kick ass.
00:15:04.000That is hate speech that inspired and radicalized people to storm the capital.
00:15:34.000Osama bin Laden was the international criminal, the architect that was overseeing wire transfers, movements of people, weaponry, training, To even equate a duly elected president who just received 75 million votes from the American people to our generation's most evil figure.
00:16:01.000I think that's probably a fair way, right?
00:16:02.000You think about our generation, who is the person we were told is the most evil person who's living.
00:16:20.000It's going to have real consequences, and it has to be stopped now.
00:16:24.000People that are saying this need to be confronted.
00:16:28.000Congressman Swalwell, as he's an impeachment manager, I hope some other member of Congress will cross-examine him and say, Do you really believe that President Trump is moral equivalency to Osama bin Laden?
00:16:54.000For years, we have been asked to turn a blind eye to the criminality, corruption, and blatant disregard to the rule of law by the tyrant president we have in the White House.
00:17:09.000We as a nation can no longer look away.
00:17:14.000All of Elon Omar's, let's say, scandals have suddenly disappeared, and they probably will disappear because they control every single arena of government.
00:17:26.000But going back to what Congressman Swalwell said, the left is not joking around anymore.
00:17:31.000So you see, this stuff used to be just bluster.
00:17:33.000This stuff used to be kind of CNN fodder, clickbait.
00:17:40.000And now they are going to use terrorism statutes that were used in the Patriot Act to monitor, infiltrate, and detain people that wear hats like this, that say conservative.
00:18:44.000At thinker.org, they summarize the key ideas from new and noteworthy nonfiction, giving you access to an entire library of great books in bite-sized form.
00:18:53.000Read or listen to hundreds of titles in a matter of minutes, from old classics like Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People, to recent bestsellers like Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life.
00:19:08.000If you want to challenge your preconceptions, expand your horizons, and become a better thinker, go to thinker.org, that's thinker.org, to start a free trial.
00:19:26.000A lot happening right now as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi goes on her speech about why we need to impeach the president of the United States.
00:19:37.000She seems to be using up every single minute of this to try and abolish every single conservative imaginable.
00:19:54.000We're getting that one right there, where Steny Hoyer said MAGA stands for Make America Grieve Again, comparing January 6th to 9-11 in Pearl Harbor and Fort Sumter.
00:20:54.000And what they're trying to do, though, is create a narrative that the JV squad of wannabe, KGB, whatever, the guys that were parachuting down the side, like caravening down the side of the Capitol with zip ties, that somehow they are comparable to the Imperial fighting force of Japan.
00:21:19.000Well, first of all, some of them, I want to say, I don't know all of their intentions.
00:21:24.000I'm sure some of them are, I'm talking about members of Congress, even some of the moderate Democrats are moderately disturbed by what happened, or they're disturbed.
00:21:38.000But other Democrats are seeing this as a political opportunity because it is the intersection of something that makes them feel good to talk about.
00:21:48.000It achieves a political aim and objective.
00:21:52.000And it gives them an excuse to expand the security state that they have been wanting to for quite some time.
00:22:00.000Now, the Democrats are not just focused on President Trump.
00:22:04.000They're also focused on other members of Congress that they believe helped with reconnaissance before the riot.
00:22:16.000I also intend to see that those members of Congress who abetted him, those members of Congress who had groups coming through the Capitol that I saw on January 5th, a reconnaissance for the next day.
00:22:28.000I'm going to see that they're held accountable and if necessary, ensure that they don't serve in Congress.
00:22:35.000This is a massive accusation that the Congresswoman from New Jersey is saying.
00:22:40.000Want me to tell you what probably happened?
00:22:42.000You probably had freshman members of Congress that were giving tours of the Capitol to friends and family.
00:22:50.000To say that members of the GOP conference were giving reconnaissance tours is basically she's calling other Republican Congress people traitors to the United States.
00:23:03.000Now, that actually is what they're doing.
00:23:20.000This is out yesterday from Daniel Dresner.
00:23:25.000He is a professor at the international, of course, he's a professor, international politics of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University.
00:23:36.000He, by the way, he knows better than this.
00:23:40.000He is doing an intentional disservice provocatively to try and compare one of America, you could argue it's a bigger political party in most states than the Democrats.
00:23:54.000He doesn't say, will fringe people turn into Hezbollah?
00:23:57.000He says the GOP, the infrastructure, the committee itself turn into Hezbollah.
00:24:05.000He said here, are these armed protesters merely a radical fringe of the GOP?
00:24:12.000Only if you think the president of the United States is also on that fringe.
00:24:27.000No, If you're talking about the peaceful event at the ellipse and the one that was permitted by the United States National Park Service, maybe.
00:24:39.000Says here, Madison Cawthorne spoke at the rally saying, quote, call your congressman.
00:24:43.000You can lightly threaten them and say, if you don't start supporting election integrity, I'm coming after you.
00:24:50.000Now, mind you, when the left uses charged speech, it immediately gets categorized as metaphorical and not literal.
00:24:59.000When the right uses terms like fight, you know, like the Biden fight fund or fight for, you know, fight for Roe versus Wade, which are things that we talked about all yesterday, that's perfectly fine.
00:25:13.000But when we say, let's go fight for our president, people say, you must mean physical combat.
00:25:24.000And they know it is too, because I guarantee you that in the next couple of weeks, one of these guys is going to be on a cable television show, one of these Democrats, and they're going to all of a sudden say something that they've been saying for years, like, we need to go fight for affordable health care.
00:25:39.000How many clips of Bernie Sanders could I put up right now of Bernie Sanders saying, we must fight for $15 minimum wage?
00:26:00.000The point is that this language is used all the time without violent events occurring.
00:26:04.000Therefore, the language is not particularly tied to people inciting violence whatsoever.
00:26:11.000Now, if all of a sudden there was a pattern of language that was used with specifics of how to enact the violence or what to do, then that's a completely different conversation.
00:26:24.000But all of a sudden trying to read into this, these statements that are used so often.
00:26:31.000So for example, one person that they are going after very hard right now is Lauren Bobert from Colorado.
00:26:57.000Population-wise, most of the population in Colorado, that's where I'm from, is centered around Denver and then along the I-25 corridor right in the middle of the state.
00:27:06.000So she covers the vast majority of land mass of the state on the west side.
00:27:10.000So she has tweeted this, calling 75 million Americans domestic terrorists is not unity.
00:27:16.000But the left really doesn't care about that right now.
00:27:18.000They don't care about their political strategy is this, is to try to intimidate and force basically people into following their political viewpoint.
00:27:29.000They are going to try and marginalize anyone who is a conservative or a Trump supporter.
00:27:34.000You know, no nuance, no detail at all whatsoever.
00:27:38.000While, of course, calling it unity at exactly the same time, which is the left's playbook that we've seen.
00:27:44.000It is nothing that is surprising at all whatsoever.
00:27:47.000And so this fight over the narrative is actually really important.
00:27:52.000It's extraordinarily important because if we do not push back on this narrative, all of a sudden it is only going to empower the security state.
00:28:03.000It's only going to empower the prosecutorial state to be able to push in directions that they otherwise would not be able to push.
00:28:11.000For example, because the media, this is how powerful the media is.
00:28:15.000This is what people have to realize that without shows like this, without radio programs pushing back, they would just dominate on this.
00:28:23.000And again, I'm going to get into some of Governor Mike Huckabee's comments because I actually agree with part of them.
00:28:30.000But just to, if you have a one-party media state, then what they say ends up being the truth.
00:28:38.000And so very few people know that BLM Incorporated almost penetrated the outer ring of the White House and injured 67 Secret Service members.
00:28:49.000I'm also just sickened when I see a police officer get bludgeoned to death outside of the Capitol.
00:28:56.000And so the lack of detail or context when we're talking about these matters is super important.
00:29:09.000It's really scary and chilling, but it's important in the sense that we get the actual message out because so many people are just taking the Democrat narrative as completely and totally true.
00:29:23.000And now, look, I went through the New York Times article yesterday.
00:29:26.000I thought they did some actually good reporting on part of it.
00:29:29.000However, the way they described a lot of things I thought to be misleading.
00:29:32.000But the biggest takeaway from the article is that there were people congregating on the eastern side of the Capitol already before that.
00:29:40.000And let me be clear, if your intention when you go to any one of these things is to go seek violence or to go seek agitation.
00:29:48.000I mean, I saw some pictures of people that were wearing the red Make America Great Again hat, and they came out and they were spraying Mace at the police.
00:29:58.000Now, we don't know who that person is.
00:30:00.000You know, the easy description is that's a Trump supporter because they're wearing the hat.
00:30:04.000But if you're spraying Mace at a police officer, like you're a thug.
00:30:08.000You're not part of the Make America Great Again movement.
00:30:11.000Now, instead of Democrats giving an opportunity for Republicans to say, that's not part of our movement, instead they're saying, you're all part of it.
00:30:19.000Now, what do you think is going to happen?
00:30:24.000Maybe the Democrats are doing this by design, or maybe they're recklessly running into something that they don't know about.
00:30:50.000They can't access social media like they used to.
00:30:54.000They can't even see what the president is saying or what he's thinking.
00:30:58.000They're migrating to new platforms that just suddenly disappear because of server space issues.
00:31:04.000They're seeing friends and family members that they know that went to the events in Washington, D.C., like one of my dear friends, who's like the sweetest guy in the world, Pastor Rick Brown, who was here on this podcast.
00:31:52.000Despite the fact that the events that happened before what happened tragically at the Capitol is disconnected, large in part, because a lot of people didn't even go to that.
00:32:05.000Zoe Lofgren is speaking from the House floor, so we will definitely not cut to her.
00:32:11.000And Tom LaClintock from California just gave a great speech.
00:32:19.000So the sequence of events that is taking place seems to be, could be argued as an intentional provoking exercise to 50 million people.
00:32:36.000Now, if I was trying to provoke more outrage, if I was trying to provoke more unrest, I would eliminate the president of the United States from Twitter.
00:32:54.000I would collude with three $1 trillion companies to try to basically eliminate parlor and its distribution, its distribution and its hosting.
00:33:05.000I would call the president of the United States, who is still loved by tens of millions of people, Osama bin Laden.
00:33:16.000I mean, why not reach for the star swale?
00:34:10.000I said, have you not watched one of our live streams?
00:34:12.000He sent me one of these news clippings because they took one, two sentences that I said of a nuanced statement where I said, not everyone at the ellipse went to the Capitol, and those people are not insurrectionists.
00:34:28.000They say some sort of crazy thing that I'm validating it.
00:35:07.000What the Democrats are doing, though, is all the different metaphorical ways you can fill in the phrase, kicking you when you're down, poking you, spitting on you once you fall, have fallen.
00:35:22.000And The tens of millions of Trump supporters across the country, the biggest question that I get at freedomatcharlikirk.com is, what can we do anymore?
00:37:00.000Mitch McConnell's office called Schumer's people today, told them McConnell would not consent to reconvening immediately under the 2004 emergency authorization.
00:37:11.000So the Senate will not have a trial before January 19th.
00:37:17.000I just want to tell you what is happening.
00:37:20.000Look, we need to pause and recognize that Democrats are fast-tracking a narrative to lay groundwork to eliminate dissenting voices and install a one-party state.
00:37:33.000There is wave legislation in the pipeline that will systemically change the fabric of our nation.
00:37:39.000That was sent to me by a friend of mine, and I think that's exactly right.
00:37:42.000So Lauren Boebert is under fire for what exactly?
00:37:46.000Allegedly, everyone is saying in Congress from the Democrat side of the aisle that the freshman congresswoman from Colorado, Lauren Bobert, should be expelled from Congress simply because she dared to tweet, this is 1776, or today is 1776, last Wednesday before the debate happened in the United States House of Representatives.
00:38:07.000I find this interesting because people must not understand the historical significance of 1776 if they mean by it.
00:38:13.000This is some violent insurrection against the government.
00:38:17.000That was simply the year the Declaration of Independence was written and ratified.
00:38:26.000So we do commemorate and celebrate something that happened in that year.
00:38:30.000And some people might hijack the meaning of 1776, but what do we mean by that when we say it?
00:38:37.000Well, we mean it that that historical turning point, no pun intended, was when people decided to make the peaceful, hopefully the peaceful separation against the monarchy.
00:38:50.000Now, what happened after was obviously not peaceful, mostly because Britain declared war on us, not the other way around.
00:38:57.000If you read the Declaration of Independence, it is not a declaration of war.
00:39:01.000It says very clearly that they wanted to dissolve ties, that King George was not the supreme or superior force over the citizens of the colonies.
00:39:15.000Instead, God is mentioned four times in the Declaration of Independence, and it says very clearly that they want to be, that want to be basically live under the laws of nature and nature's God.
00:39:27.000And so what you're going to start to see is this misrepresentation of history trying to say that anyone who uses 1776 in any form whatsoever must be talking about something violent.
00:39:42.000And if that was the case, then all of the Democrats commentators over the summer that were praising the mobs calling like Don Laman back cut six when he said our country was started because the Boston Tea Party rioting.
00:40:38.000Now, mind you, that's wild footage was on his screen of people walking into an electronic store, looting, and in graffiti it says I for I, which is not legal.
00:40:59.000It's an intentional gaslighting tactic to try to achieve a 1619 agenda for our country.
00:41:05.000Jeff Van Drew, who's a former Democrat, has decided to oppose the impeachment and basically saying this is disenfranchising half the country, which is exactly right.
00:41:16.000And they're just not rushing through this.
00:41:23.000And just so you know, this goes to show where how much outrage there is right now on the left.
00:41:31.000And they're not thinking rationally and they're not thinking analytically.
00:41:34.000Louis Gohmert right now is trending on Twitter because he said, quote, I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country.
00:42:31.000Is that in their mind, they have had to sit through their own concocted version of Benito Mussolini over the last couple years.
00:42:41.000Of course, that is not true, but that's actually how they view Donald Trump.
00:42:45.000Now that they have total and complete control, basically, of the United States government, or soon to be in about seven days, their goal is now to not try to legislate.
00:43:01.000They are trying to exile and punish anyone that was involved in this at all whatsoever.
00:43:08.000And exile is a very interesting thing.
00:43:13.000Instead of trying to remove this 50 million people, they want that 50 million people to go down to 30 million because they're going to try to marginalize it.
00:43:24.000There'll be a couple Republican congresspeople here and there.
00:43:29.000And anyone that actually speaks the truth or pushes back will either be deplatformed, will be marginalized, or just continually under massive pressure from the United States government security state, which is exactly what is happening here in this country right now.
00:43:45.000And so because the Democrats perfected how elections are done in this country through the mail-in balloting process, through signature verification, relaxing of standards, all these sorts of things, they control now.
00:44:01.000Basically, they control the United States Senate.
00:44:27.000And it really, I mean, whether it's our program or other programs like Mark Levin or what Candace Owens is doing, because I'm telling you right now, the future of our movement and whether or not we're going to have a movement will depend solely and wholly on our ability to be able to support the courageous folks in this moment.
00:44:45.000That's really the big takeaway right now.
00:44:47.000And the other parts we'll get into of exactly what you can do and how you'll be able to handle all that.
00:44:53.000There's Congressman Ken Buck, also from Colorado.
00:44:56.000We got a lot of Colorado representation.
00:44:59.000If I were to venture a guess, though, I think they're going alphabetically through states because all the California folks spoke and now all the Colorado folks spoke.
00:45:07.000So we'll get to Congressman Ken Buck in a second who is opposing this impeachment.
00:45:12.000And by the way, they are going so quickly through an impeachment.
00:45:15.000Just so you know, traffic court takes a couple days to try to figure out whether someone had a fender bender or not.
00:45:22.000They're trying to impeach a president in half a day.
00:45:25.000Congressman Kevin McCarthy is speaking from the House floor right now.
00:45:31.000He has said he opposes impeachment, but he believes that the president does bear some responsibility for what has happened.
00:45:38.000The question is, does he bear legal responsibility?
00:45:42.000Governor Mike Huckabee said something that I think is pretty widely accepted, that the president could have chosen some of those words more carefully.
00:45:51.000I don't think, I don't know what the president thought would happen or not.
00:45:54.000That's up for, you know, that's an internal discussion and conversation that's going to need to happen.
00:46:00.000However, to say clearly that you know that the president knew it was going to happen, he was inciting the former Attorney General of Washington, D.C., Shapiro, wrote a long piece in the Wall Street Journal saying that he believes that he bears no legal responsibility at all for speaking at that rally.
00:46:15.000And so Congressman McCarthy is continuing to speak here.
00:46:18.000But Isabel, you brought up a great point in the break here about how words are changing, about how when you control words, then you're able to control an entire society.
00:46:30.000Absolutely, Charlie, and I'm glad you brought that up.
00:46:32.000We're seeing this rhetoric dramatically evolve right before our eyes.
00:46:36.000Last Wednesday, we said, just you wait, they'll say this.
00:46:38.000And lo and behold, that all came true in just a few days.
00:46:42.000And now I think it's gone beyond our expectations with Representative Eric Swalwell obviously equating President Trump to Osama bin Laden.
00:46:50.000And then now following that up with a statement on the House floor saying that President Trump is leading thousands of what he calls radicalized terrorists in this country.
00:47:00.000First of all, there was only a few hundred people in the Capitol Rotunda last Wednesday, so it's pretty safe to assume that statement is a blanket statement across Trump supporters.
00:47:09.000We've seen this rhetoric on the left of violence and division for many, many years.
00:47:13.000Obviously, we saw that with Madonna threatening to blow up the White House, Kathy Griffin holding up the severed, bloody head of President Trump.
00:47:20.000You saw Eric Holder saying we're going to kick them while they're down.
00:47:22.000Maxine Waters encouraging people to confront administrative officials in this administration where they are.
00:47:28.000But those words fight, confront, and even blow up, didn't seem to be taken literally in the past.
00:47:33.000And yet, today we've discussed that fight has somewhat become the new F-word when it comes to American culture.
00:47:39.000Congressman Gates said it best just now in his speech on the floor: words matter.
00:47:43.000And when you can effectively control, from a government and a cultural perspective, 100% of the words by silencing all of your opposition, you control 100% of society, history, and what's happening right before your eyes.
00:47:58.000And so, when you're able to control the language that people use when they describe certain circumstances and how they communicate values, then you're able to control basically everything, which is exactly what is happening right now in our country.
00:48:13.000And so, you know, an analysis, I think, what happened here at the Capitol is that you had some really guys that were trying to make some trouble.
00:48:22.000You had some troublemakers that were there before the president even started speaking.
00:48:26.000That's according to the New York Times.
00:48:28.000They were there wearing bulletproof vests, helmets.
00:48:33.000They had very similar-looking goggles.
00:48:36.000They looked like they were there ready for a fight.
00:48:39.000They did not look like they were just kind of the normal Trump supporter where they're kind of just wearing, you know, a Make America Great Again shirt and kind of waving the flag, right?
00:48:50.000What I think ended up happening is that some of the instigators and some of the troublemakers, and quite honestly, the ones that assaulted the police officers, the criminals, started to attack and attack and attack.
00:49:04.000I think that Trump supporters that never would have been caught up in something like that did get caught up in it.
00:49:10.000And a lot of them have expressed sincere and total regret.
00:49:14.000However, for the people that had come into Washington, D.C. with schematics that planted pipe bombs at the RNC and the DNC that were coming and were acting in forces of violence against police officers that killed the police officer, yeah, I mean, I find that very hard not to call that domestic terrorism.
00:49:34.000However, looping in every single person that was there in Washington, D.C. into that category is extraordinarily dangerous.
00:49:41.000And here's the one thing that I'm struggling to figure out: which is if we knew those instigators were there and if we knew this was happening and the FBI and the DOJ had advanced notice of this, did they tell the president about that?
00:49:59.000If they did and the president still gave his remarks, that's a different story.
00:50:03.000But I think the question is of this: I think the deeper question is: why are the Democrats intentionally not talking about these events with zero nuance at all whatsoever?
00:50:15.000And the reason is that they do want permanent political banishment.
00:50:19.000They see here this is their great power grab.
00:50:22.000They see this as an opportunity to remain in almost permanent political power under this by because of this event.
00:50:30.000They're almost making it seem as if that half the country justifies and supports what happens there, happened there.
00:50:39.000And there have been people that have been listening to our program that have emailed us that have been calling for this kind of some of this nonsense.
00:50:46.000And I can tell you what's been really interesting to see, though, is that some of the people that were emailing us saying, you know, time for a civil war, many of them have emailed me since and say they regret emailing that.
00:50:58.000And we were pushing back against it in real time.
00:51:01.000And I think that when emotions are running high, some people do things that they really, really regret.
00:51:06.000What makes the argument that they're making on the House floor categorically different is that they're comparing President Trump to Osama bin Laden.
00:51:16.000Osama bin Laden did not launch the attack because he just got suddenly angry.
00:51:41.000And honestly, you kind of lose your ability to think clearly and have logical rationing to help you get through those situations.
00:51:47.000Clearly, we know that this was not a crime of passion that happened at the Capitol last week.
00:51:52.000There were people there hours and hours and hours before President Trump's speech.
00:51:55.000So even to suggest that the language in his speech, which we've gone through over and over and over again with his statement saying peacefully and patriotically demonstrate at the Capitol, even to say that speech would have incited any violence on Capitol Hill is completely wrong.
00:52:12.000But similarly, what happened on 9-11 and throughout history, really, with radicalized terrorist groups is that these weren't crimes of passion.
00:52:20.000These were very carefully and meticulously planned out.
00:52:22.000So their narrative is very obviously conflicting in and of itself.
00:52:27.000I'm so shocked to see Maxine Waters support impeachment.
00:52:48.000So I'm not exactly shocked at Maxine Waters' take there.
00:52:51.000And her language, again, you can start to see parallels between how the Democrats are wrongly describing this, that President Donald Trump is capable of starting a civil war, that President Donald Trump will continue on this path.
00:53:06.000And so they made it very clear that they don't want to just criminalize Trump supporters.
00:53:31.000But the policies Democrats have, it's actually really hard to stay in long-term political power in close elections when you endorse the Democrat policies.
00:53:39.000How do you stay in political power then?
00:53:42.000You stay in political power if you're not the worst thing in the world.
00:53:47.000The Democrats, now that they control all of government, that they're actually going to be blamed for the awful policies that are about to happen.
00:53:54.000Tax increases, abolition of oil and natural gas, regulatory requirements, shutting down the country, all of that.
00:54:06.000So the Democrats are looking strategically, how can they stay in positive light in the public while also having these awful policies on display?
00:54:22.000And the answer that they have is by creating a narrative that half the country is actually Timothy McVeigh.
00:54:30.000And if you don't know who Timothy McVeigh is, we can go into that, I guess, in a future episode of the program, but he was the Oklahoma City bomber, one of the worst acts of domestic terror in the country.
00:54:41.000Now, Timothy McVeigh did not do that as an act of passion, right?
00:54:48.000Some people would even say that he did that in response to the Waco Branch Davidian massacre.
00:54:54.000Anyway, we can get into that at a different time.
00:54:55.000The point is that that is an archetype of what the left considers to be what they call a far-right wing domestic terrorist.
00:55:03.000How do you stay in permanent political power?
00:55:06.000You convince people in the middle and your base that the other half of the country is always trying to plan an insurrection.
00:55:13.000And that's why it's so important that we make this abundantly clear of who exactly is behind this, who exactly is condoning this, who exactly is supporting this, what actually happened.
00:55:23.000Because if the Democrats are successful here, they're going to create a very, very troublesome political narrative.
00:55:30.000I don't know if you guys remember this or not.
00:55:32.000This is actually where I got my political start.
00:55:34.000Back in the Tea Party movement, the Democrats were very threatened by the Tea Party, and they did call every Tea Party person, anti-government, Timothy McVeigh.
00:55:46.000There was a moment where a black congressman was leaving the House of Representatives, and he alleged that a Tea Party person spit on him and called him a very, very bad name.
00:55:57.000That actually ended up not being true, ended up being unproven.
00:56:01.000But we have dealt with these sorts of accusations before.
00:56:04.000What obviously makes this different and very, you know, it's just not going to go away is because, yeah, people did go and break windows, and thugs did go and assault police officers.
00:56:29.000I mean, what do you think you're doing?
00:56:31.000And that's just wrong, and it's just reprehensible, quite honestly.
00:56:35.000And so it does make the framing of this different, but this playbook is not necessarily anything new.
00:56:43.000We saw a lot of this language back in 2010 and 2011.
00:56:47.000And the reason the Democrats resorted to this language back in 2010 and 2011 is when Barack Obama was president, they started to realize that his policies were not actually helping people and they were incredibly unpopular.
00:57:02.000And so, believe it or not, a lot of what's happening today in the House of Representatives floor, driven by Democrats, is trying to buy them some time.
00:57:11.000They actually know that President Donald Trump had a pretty amazing track record of success, policy-wise, and he did.
00:57:19.000They also know that they soon are not going to be able to shift the blame if vaccines aren't getting delivered.
00:57:27.000They're not going to be able to shift the blame any longer if all of a sudden that lockdowns continue.
00:57:32.000They're no longer going to be able to have these long morning show diatribes at how Donald Trump is intentionally infecting people and all that sort of stuff.
00:57:43.000Now, what's the one thing that could give them an excuse, though?
00:57:48.000The one thing that could give them an excuse is if they're focusing their time and energy on a multi-million person potential insurrection, that would give them potential public support.
00:59:05.000And when they used to make Mitt Romney, you want to know what a political scandal used to be?
00:59:10.000A political scandal used to be a candidate at a fundraiser saying, you know, only 47% of the people pay taxes in this country, and 51% don't.
00:59:21.000And they're going to have to subsidize the other side.
00:59:25.000That used to be a political scandal eight years ago.
00:59:27.000The point is, the media will make anything into a political scandal.
00:59:30.000We are talking about this 47% remark endlessly.
00:59:34.000So the question is, why are the Democrats really doing this?
00:59:38.000And the answer is obviously they see a political opportunity in this, but they're actually really scared that they're going to soon be blamed for governance.
00:59:56.000However, if all of a sudden he's in charge of the budget committee and he's going to say, I need $100 billion to go fight insurrection, people are going to not focus on the other side of it.
01:00:07.000And so that's why it's so incredibly important that we make our position clear of who is actually there, how they have no support at all whatsoever of the people that committed those heinous crimes, and how we put the Democrats hopefully on defense of some of this.
01:00:22.000And let's not forget that in two very short years, that sounds like a long time away, but it's really not because campaigning for that starts very, very soon.
01:00:30.000These individuals in Congress are going to have to defend their seats again and prove to the American voter that they are the right choice to send back to Washington, D.C.
01:00:38.000They don't have to worry about that so much if they completely eliminate the opposition.
01:00:44.000It doesn't necessarily mean taking President Trump out of office.
01:00:46.000It means identifying the ideology that put him there to begin with and squashing that to the highest extent possible.
01:00:53.000They are looking specifically, if you pay attention, at these new age conservatives that have just come into Congress as the first people who have to go.
01:01:01.000It's just like firing in a corporate structure.
01:01:03.000The first people in are the first people to go because they represent this newfound resurgence of conservative ideas.
01:01:09.000That's why they're going so hard against Lauren Boebert, Madison Cawthorne, against Matt Gates, who's not necessarily new, but he's been there for a couple of years.
01:01:42.000But I think that's really an important point that I think we need to mention and talk about, which is that the Democrats are doing everything they possibly can right now to try and rewrite history and trying to misrepresent half the country.
01:01:58.000And even just, and we've been through this many times, but even just the people that were in D.C., even just the people that were within a mile of the Capitol, not all of them even stepped foot on the Capitol steps, let alone into the rotunda.
01:02:10.000There's a lot of different gradations of difference here that I think are super important to this.
01:02:19.000And so you look at this debate that's happening.
01:02:24.000I don't know who that is right now in the impeachment of President Trump.
01:02:27.000And we're going to be monitoring this all day on our streams here.
01:02:32.000The Democrats have made their position very clear.
01:02:36.000They almost don't want to live with the other half of the country.
01:03:12.000They're trying to take away legal licenses from people associated with President Donald Trump.
01:03:17.000We're seeing that with Rudy Giuliani in the New York State Bar.
01:03:19.000They're trying to put outspoken conservatives who weren't even in Washington, D.C., such as yourself, on no-fly lists, saying that you shouldn't be able to commercially fly airlines.
01:04:19.000We were just talking about this during the break because now we are hearing from Mitch McConnell that they're likely not going to schedule a trial before the termination of President Trump's first term by inauguration day.
01:04:31.000Can you impeach a prior president that's not currently sitting in publicly elected office?
01:04:36.000It's sort of a constitutional gray area, which I find interesting because we were just talking about constitutional gray areas last week, and all of a sudden this is being pushed full steam ahead.
01:04:46.000But essentially, what the Constitution says is that the only individuals that are eligible for impeachment are called civil officers.
01:04:53.000So, that's people currently sitting in elected position or within the executive branch.
01:04:58.000President Trump becomes a private citizen here in just a few days.
01:05:15.000It's a very, I mean, they also want to bar President Trump from ever running again.
01:05:21.000Now, I'm going to talk in metaphors here, but metaphorically, what they want to do is they want to try to get the top of a movement that threatens their political power.
01:05:32.000They want to metaphorically try to, at all costs, make an example of President Donald Trump, which is exactly what we predicted and tragically what is happening here.
01:05:44.000Email us your questions as well here: freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
01:05:50.000I'd be really interested to kind of hear what your thoughts and what your feelings are of what's happening right now and your thoughts on it.
01:05:57.000I know a lot of people are quite honestly outraged at what's happening in our country, and a lot of Republicans are going along with this.
01:06:04.000They're just trying to duck for cover.
01:06:07.000But Liz Cheney has also come along with this, which is, you know, pretty incredible.
01:06:14.000Yeah, I was a little shocked reading some of that and the language that she used.
01:06:18.000I think this really goes back to what we were talking about a few days ago on this stream, Charlie, and that is we're seeing a great divide politically on both sides of the aisle.
01:06:26.000You're seeing that on the left between socialism and more classically liberal ideas.
01:06:30.000And then, obviously, you're starting to see that now between establishment republicanism and what I like to call new age conservatism, people like Madison Cawthorne and Lewis Boebert, who feel much more directly responsible for the American people rather than the political party that they're adhering to.
01:06:45.000So I'm curious to see how that might ride out.
01:06:48.000I anticipate that the two-party system is really going out of style here pretty quickly.
01:07:01.000There's been a lot of stories written about this.
01:07:03.000It could be that the Attorney General of D.C., which actually files in federal court, who has the jurisdiction of whatever happens in Washington, D.C., might be coming after him for inciting violence.
01:07:14.000That's going to be a tough threshold beyond a reasonable doubt to hit.
01:07:19.000But that's not to say that's going to be necessarily impossible for them to be able to achieve.
01:07:25.000But I will say that they're going to try to do everything they possibly can.
01:07:28.000And I think there were some remarks done yesterday that goes to show that.
01:07:32.000And they're not being shy with that at all, whatsoever.
01:07:36.000So, just in a crowd with expel all fascist signs seen outside of the United States Capitol.
01:07:44.000So that is probably an Antifa group, is my best guess.
01:07:49.000And that is they are wearing lots of masks and they are congregating outside of the United States Capitol.
01:07:56.000So we will be monitoring that in real time.
01:07:58.000As it happens, it looks like the Capitol Police are much better prepared.
01:08:03.000And so there's a couple of competing theories of, and I think that, again, this is the nuance that's really important: is that at certain points of entry, the police were letting people through.
01:08:18.000At other points of entry, police were getting dragged and beat with fire extinguishers.
01:08:22.000Other parts of entry, I'm talking about in Congress, barricades are being overrun and Mesas being spread.
01:08:27.000So there was almost like 15 different areas that were happening.
01:08:32.000And whether or not there was a central command structure of this, you know, needs to be found out because I don't know if there was someone that was trying to oversee all this or what the operation of it all was.
01:08:44.000But I can say this, that the police, some of which seemed they did not want to give an inch, right?
01:08:53.000Other police said you can come all the way through.
01:08:56.000But I think it's very fair to say that the police were not prepared at all.
01:09:00.000And so there's a couple theories on this.
01:09:02.000Were they was just requests denied because they just underestimated it?
01:09:06.000Or did the police just think that in rallies in the past with Trump supporters, they're mostly, you know, they're basically always, always, always peaceful.
01:09:13.000And so there won't be any problems here.
01:09:21.000I do have a thought as we're waiting for some of your guys' questions.
01:09:24.000The word fascism I have seen more frequently in the last week than the last four years combined.
01:09:29.000And if you're watching this program and you don't inherently understand what fascism is, it's time to start looking these things up.
01:09:35.000Fascism centers around complete control of a population from the highest levels of government and culture and society down.
01:09:43.000It involves eliminating your opposition, restricting free speech.
01:09:46.000None of that is upheld within the conservative movement or the Republican Party.
01:09:50.000So don't believe the headlines that you read from the mainstream media, this sign of expel all fascists from government outside the U.S. Capitol right now.
01:09:59.000They're saying that's in reference to conservative individuals in Congress.
01:10:02.000But in reality, if you actually break down ideology, it has nothing to do with one another whatsoever.
01:11:16.000I've studied a decent amount of European history for a long time.
01:11:19.000The East has looked to the West for advancement.
01:11:21.000But do you think the time has now come where the West has looked to the East for wisdom on how to break through this spiral of socialism and communism?
01:11:26.000From what I've read, the only way that this evil can be removed from our country is through the persistent cultural change, never through violence.
01:12:01.000The Insurrection Act is in place to help quell mobs and violent uprisings in the country.
01:12:06.000It was last used by President H.W. Bush to quell the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles.
01:12:12.000Many of us were calling for the president to use the Insurrection Act over the summer, but no, the President has not signed the Insurrection Act.
01:12:18.000He has declared Washington, D.C., a state of emergency, but he has not signed the Insurrection Act.
01:12:30.000After 30 years of trying to talk to our representatives to follow the Constitution and protect our God-given rights, how many more years do we have to talk?
01:12:51.000They're never going to stop going after Trump.
01:12:53.000Look, as soon as you go to violence, there's no going back.
01:12:57.000And there is no good playbook for how violence plays itself out well.
01:13:03.000That's why we have time and time again condemned and pushed back against violence, especially violence that tries to engage in any form of going after elected officials.
01:13:13.000But look, the question is rooted in basically, I'm running out of patience.
01:13:17.000And look, the conservatives held a lot more cards 10 or 15 years ago.
01:13:22.000And I know that a lot of people said, I did a lot back 15 or 20 years ago.
