00:01:09.000 Hey, everybody.
00:01:10.000 Welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show today.
00:01:13.000 We got a lot of stuff happening in the country right now.
00:01:15.000 Email us your questions, as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:01:19.000 Check out CharlieKirk.com for all the latest news and information that you might need to be able to become a better informed citizen.
00:01:27.000 Okay.
00:01:28.000 There's a gift that has just been given to Republicans.
00:01:31.000 A gift.
00:01:33.000 Will Republicans take it?
00:01:36.000 You see, we as conservatives have had a pretty awful month.
00:01:42.000 In fact, it might have been the worst month of my entire career just looking at how things developed.
00:01:49.000 Lost the Georgia runoff, the Capitol tragedy.
00:01:53.000 Joe Biden becomes president.
00:01:55.000 It felt like the hits kept on coming.
00:01:58.000 We got some good news about the filibuster from Kirsten Cinema and Joe Manchin, if they tell the truth.
00:02:07.000 But now, there is a story that's being covered differently by almost everybody.
00:02:18.000 And this story is revealing to us so much about the political, philosophical direction of our country.
00:02:30.000 The story is, of course, the GameStop AMC BlackBerry short-selling saga.
00:02:37.000 Certain financial news channels are covering this from a hero-villain standpoint of the villain being the Redditors who are posting on message boards.
00:02:55.000 And the heroes are the short-selling hedge fund people.
00:03:00.000 Others, such as Tucker Carlson and Charles Payne and Dave Portnoy from Barstool, are framing the hero-villain saga story, if you will, as the hedge funders as the villain and the Redditors as the heroes.
00:03:19.000 But this is a gift now to Republicans.
00:03:22.000 You see, when I started to get involved in politics in high school in freshman and sophomore year at Wheeling High School in the suburbs of Chicago, the number one criticism that I had to endure back in 2010, 2011 was that Republicans were the party of Wall Street.
00:03:49.000 You see, this criticism is not something that everyone hears now because the Democrats and the left have shifted from an outright economic class war to just a race war.
00:04:02.000 You see, when I was in high school, just nine years ago, eight or nine years ago, the political left thought that they could start a successful movement around turning working class people against rich people.
00:04:20.000 And it was always a very difficult argument for me to counter.
00:04:25.000 It was hard for me to justify the amount of wealth that certain people had.
00:04:30.000 It wasn't impossible.
00:04:32.000 Of course, when someone gets rich, it does not mean someone necessarily gets poor.
00:04:36.000 They didn't steal that money.
00:04:38.000 They had to create a good or a service.
00:04:40.000 We do believe in markets after all.
00:04:43.000 However, the discrepancy, the growing inequality, was politically very difficult.
00:04:51.000 It looked as if I was a defender of an unfair system.
00:04:56.000 It looked as if I was a defender of a broken financial model.
00:05:01.000 We all remember back to 2007, 2008, when the federal government, in collusion with the big banks, created the housing crisis in our country, the mortgage crisis in our country.
00:05:14.000 Put simply, Wall Street got drunk, Washington provided the liquor.
00:05:19.000 They both worked together to destroy the American housing market.
00:05:23.000 We had people taking out loans they couldn't afford in houses they could not even, at even the most generous interpretation of their credit score, ever pay the principal, let alone the interest on these loans.
00:05:36.000 People had multiple loans taken out, and it was a government-created bubble.
00:05:40.000 What did we do in response?
00:05:42.000 Every bank got bailed out.
00:05:44.000 No major bankers went to jail.
00:05:46.000 The taxpayers footed the bill.
00:05:48.000 The moral hazard was completely removed.
00:05:50.000 And using the FDIC, alongside Hank Paulson, some of the banks did better than ever before.
00:05:57.000 And deposits went up.
00:05:58.000 And as a result, we passed crony capitalist government regulation that the banks actually wanted passed that made it harder for small and local community banks to survive called Dodd-Frank.
00:06:12.000 If any of you are new to politics, I just want to say you've been given a gift that you do not have to deal in American politics with Barney Frank.
00:06:20.000 It's a gift.
00:06:21.000 That guy made AOC look moderate.
00:06:25.000 No, seriously.
00:06:27.000 I can honestly say American politics is better now that Barney Frank is not involved.
00:06:33.000 However, then around 2012, Obama ran largely, by the way, against this framing.
00:06:41.000 You see, Mitt Romney, we all know who Mitt Romney is, but how did they defeat Mitt Romney?
00:06:47.000 They defeated him by positioning him as a corporate raider, as an evil private equity guy that would come in and ship jobs overseas, take big bonuses for himself at Bain Capital.
00:07:02.000 And Barack Obama framed himself, thanks largely in part to the narration of Tom Hanks.
00:07:08.000 If you remember that video, which was seen by tens of millions of people, as the guy that kept General Motors alive and Osama bin Laden dead.
00:07:17.000 Now, that was a very deceiving way to frame it, but nevertheless, it worked.
00:07:22.000 Barack Obama won the industrial rust belt.
00:07:26.000 Barack Obama won states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, states that Mitt Romney was completely rejected by.
00:07:37.000 Obama won Indiana in 2008.
00:07:40.000 Romney won it in 2012.
00:07:42.000 The point is that this message was very successful.
00:07:48.000 The framing of American politics had benefited Democrats for years because the institutional financial systems that a lot of us were skeptical of, a lot of us knew there was something not totally right there.
00:08:05.000 A lot of us felt like we were watching from the outside a Gordon gecko scene where insider trading is tolerated and allowed and there's little tips and nods and winks and no one really gets prosecuted and big fines get levied and the system continues on.
00:08:23.000 Republicans, for a variety of different reasons, but mostly because Republicans were more likely to take the capital and the money from these banks to finance their campaigns.
00:08:34.000 And secondly, and additionally, the Republicans were willing to fight for the issues of Wall Street.
00:08:45.000 And Wall Street hid behind the auspice like, oh, we're free market guys.
00:08:49.000 No, you're not.
00:08:51.000 You never were.
00:08:52.000 I'm sure there's some free market guys there.
00:08:54.000 Sure, there's some believers in markets.
00:08:56.000 But generally, they're believers in their own profit structure, not in principled markets.
00:09:04.000 Donald Trump changed all of this.
00:09:05.000 He actually ran for the first time as a Republican on an anti-Wall Street message.
00:09:10.000 One of the reasons why Trump was able to win the presidency in the first place in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania is that Hillary was unapologetically taking the Wall Street money. 0.97
00:09:18.000 Hillary was unapologetically representing this internationalist, globalist, corporatist agenda.
00:09:24.000 2020 election rolled around, and Joe Biden framed himself as the fighter of Main Street, deceivingly so, took massive money from Wall Street.
00:09:35.000 No one covered it.
00:09:37.000 And of course, with all the shenanigans and everything that surrounded the 2020 election, here we are with a Wall Street candidate who's now president, with Janet Yellen, who's a Wall Street selected spokesperson.
00:09:59.000 Now we have an opportunity.
00:10:03.000 And Republicans are totally screwing this up.
00:10:06.000 Not all Republicans, but most Republicans.
00:10:10.000 Democrats are now intentionally or unintentionally about to defend one of the most unpopular financial systems in the country.
00:10:24.000 The Republican Party has been given a gift.
00:10:27.000 Will the Republican Party take it?
00:10:29.000 So far, the answer is no.
00:10:31.000 Now, what is that gift?
00:10:33.000 The gift is that raging in the markets and raging online is the ultimate struggle of the populist, middle-class worker.
00:10:43.000 A lot of these people are younger against the ruler, the rulers of our society.
00:10:53.000 In case the people on Wall Street realize it or not, they're not exactly popular with the American people.
00:11:00.000 I know that is a shocking sentiment, especially after the last year.
00:11:12.000 So the last calendar year, we've shut down the entire American economy.
00:11:19.000 Kids can't go to school.
00:11:20.000 Small businesses cannot open.
00:11:23.000 You can't travel.
00:11:26.000 Incomes have gone down.
00:11:28.000 You get peons from the government.
00:11:30.000 And the ruling class is richer, wealthier, and more comfortable than ever before.
00:11:36.000 So then, A bunch of late 20 and early 30s something say, let's start to mobilize our activity, which, by the way, as we have predicted here from day one, people are going to get arrested over this.
00:11:50.000 People are going to be held accountable for this.
00:11:54.000 We're just commenting on the framing of this.
00:11:58.000 Is that the right thing, the wrong thing?
00:12:01.000 I'm just telling you how it is.
00:12:03.000 We knew exactly when this started to happen.
00:12:05.000 I said, when you start to play games with hedge fund margins, they will send the Praetorian Guard after you.
00:12:11.000 They will crush your life.
00:12:14.000 You are talking about the lifeblood of a lot of people.
00:12:22.000 And so the Republican Party here is largely silent.
00:12:29.000 You have millions of young people that are participating in this.
00:12:35.000 Now, are they participating to get rich?
00:12:36.000 Yes, some of them are kind of having fun making a little bit of money.
00:12:39.000 They're participating in it to get attention and to stick it to the rich.
00:12:47.000 Now, Senator Ted Cruz has stepped up, but many of the establishment Republicans are missing in action.
00:12:56.000 And so are the Democrats, but a lot of Democrats.
00:12:58.000 The Democrats are the party of Wall Street now, though.
00:13:02.000 They're financed by Wall Street.
00:13:04.000 I expect them to do that.
00:13:10.000 And in a moment like this, do you know what is missing so glaringly in the American landscape?
00:13:18.000 I got up very early this morning and I typed in something from Habit: Donald Trump Twitter.
00:13:32.000 Donald Trump's Twitter account would be forcing every single Republican into line on this issue, whether he's in office or not.
00:13:43.000 If Donald Trump was still president, he would be instructing the SEC not to go after the little guy.
00:13:49.000 No, no, no, no.
00:13:51.000 To go after the collusion that exists in clear sight.
00:13:56.000 But since the tech oligarchs have basically digitally assassinated Donald Trump and he's left to just press releases on stationery of the office of the former president, whatever that is, you now have an entire political conversation and a mass of people that are ready to be mobilized with no point to be able to bring them to a point of focus.
00:14:19.000 Does that make sense why they took Donald Trump off social media?
00:14:23.000 All of a sudden, it makes a lot of these populist moments a lot less poignant.
00:14:29.000 It makes these populist moments easier to suppress.
00:14:32.000 Now, Donald Trump Jr. has been tweeting about this, and I think more so than almost any other person, and he's been terrific on the issue.
00:14:42.000 But I suppose the question that a lot of us have to ask is: why are Republicans not seizing this opportunity to cement themselves as the working class party?
00:14:55.000 You want to win younger voters?
00:14:58.000 Republicans ask me all the time, well, how do we win the next generation?
00:15:01.000 If you took a stand on this right now and you said we are going to demand that the agencies do not go after these young kids, that all of a sudden we look into the other insider trading activity, Republican Party popularity with young people will skyrocket.
00:15:20.000 You want to know why AOC is popular? 0.97
00:15:22.000 Because she picks these fights. 0.99
00:15:25.000 Instead, it's all quiet on the Western Front outside of a couple congresspeople and a couple influencers here and there.
00:15:34.000 Why?
00:15:35.000 Republicans are grappling with, how do we recover from the last month?
00:15:41.000 We lost Georgia, lost the presidency, the Capitol tragedy.
00:15:46.000 How do we win back working class voters? 1.00
00:15:49.000 Well, here's a good start.
00:15:51.000 Why don't you listen to them?
00:15:55.000 Why don't you listen to working class people and what they're trying to tell you? 0.94
00:15:59.000 What they're trying to tell you, and albeit sometimes a clumsy way, and albeit sometimes it's difficult for rulers to understand what their subjects actually want, is that they're hurting, that they're working their tail off.
00:16:14.000 They're getting up at 6 a.m. every day, trying to find work.
00:16:19.000 Many of them are involved in the muscular class of our country to just see their earnings taxed to death, to see food prices go up.
00:16:30.000 And what do they get from the government?
00:16:31.000 A $1,200 check.
00:16:35.000 They see the billionaire class increase their net worth by $500 billion over the last year.
00:16:43.000 And when a couple out of work late 20 or early 30-somethings start to go play games with the market, which again, many of them will end up being held legally liable for it, they come down on them with the entire weight of the federal government.
00:17:03.000 You know, you can manipulate medical data.
00:17:07.000 That's okay.
00:17:08.000 You can manipulate virus cases.
00:17:11.000 You can manipulate and lie about the Chinese coronavirus.
00:17:18.000 You can shut down schools and manipulate people's lives.
00:17:21.000 You can even manipulate financial instruments if you have the correct firm assembled.
00:17:32.000 But if you do this in big numbers and you try to manipulate an already manipulated market, that's when they start to come after you. 1.00
00:17:42.000 The Republican Party better quickly learn that working class parties win. 0.99
00:17:48.000 Right now, the Republican Party should have a press conference with every member of the Republican conference saying, we hear you, there's something wrong here with the economic anxieties of our country. 0.98
00:18:04.000 And that we need some big serious changes.
00:18:06.000 You know who is seizing on this opportunity? 0.99
00:18:08.000 Who's seeing her popularity soar outside of being an absolute fool and accusing Ted Cruz of being a Columbine shooter style murderer? 0.98
00:18:16.000 She actually did call him a murderer yesterday, attempted murderer. 0.99
00:18:20.000 AOC.
00:18:23.000 AOC is seizing this moment.
00:18:26.000 So here's the honest truth to the Republican Party.
00:18:32.000 And I hope that someone's watching or listening right now that's in a position to do something about this.
00:18:40.000 The populist energy is not going anywhere.
00:18:46.000 There is a belief in the Republican Party that is a work of fiction.
00:18:52.000 And the belief is that Donald Trump is gone.
00:18:59.000 Donald Trump's in Mar-a-Lago.
00:19:01.000 He's off Twitter.
00:19:02.000 And now we can get back to calmer Chamber of Commerce times.
00:19:07.000 People are going to be happy again.
00:19:09.000 They're going to fall back asleep.
00:19:11.000 We'll be able to teach them something wrapped in idealistic platitudes, and the theft can continue.
00:19:20.000 As the liberal Eric Weinstein commonly says, the idealism of a time is usually the cover for the theft.
00:19:29.000 For example, we are the world in the 1990s.
00:19:34.000 What a great cover for international globalist trade deals that destroyed the American worker.
00:19:42.000 The peacetime kleptocrats that run our country, and that's what they are, peacetime kleptocrats have no concern for their fellow countrymen.
00:19:57.000 They have concern for their campaign accounts.
00:20:00.000 They have concern for their reelection chances.
00:20:04.000 They have concern for their committee assignments.
00:20:07.000 They have concern for what country we're going to invade next.
00:20:11.000 That's a big priority for them, by the way, finding another sovereign country to go invade with our brothers and sisters in the armed forces who are American heroes.
00:20:25.000 The populist energy that started in 2008 is not going away.
00:20:37.000 And one of the main reasons it exists in the first place is because of government intervention in the economy, government intervention in the price system.
00:20:48.000 The repealing of Glass-Steagall was a mistake.
00:20:51.000 And yes, that is a deregulation, but as soon as you allowed investment banks and commercial banks be merged together, the incentive structure got screwed up.
00:20:59.000 One of my dearest friends in the whole world, the former Mayor Lynch executive, completely agrees with me.
00:21:04.000 He said that was one of the moments that everything changed for the worse.
00:21:07.000 The Federal Reserve pumping in cheap money, the continuous big bank bailouts, all of it.
00:21:16.000 And in 2008, it reached a boiling point when the financial crisis hit.
00:21:19.000 People saw their net worth plummet.
00:21:22.000 They saw the markets completely tank.
00:21:25.000 They did everything right.
00:21:26.000 They played by the rules and they still suffered.
00:21:30.000 And yet the people that actually created this crisis, they got promoted.
00:21:34.000 Hank Paulson, who ran Goldman Sachs, became Treasury Secretary.
00:21:40.000 Timothy Geithner, who ran Goldman Sachs with Hank Paulson, then became Treasury Secretary.
00:21:46.000 Ben Bernanke from a different chapter in American politics had extensive Wall Street experience.
00:21:56.000 Janet Yellen, who ran the Fed, now runs our Treasury Department, got $800,000 for speaking at hedge funds.
00:22:09.000 And so the populist energy is not going away.
00:22:15.000 Republicans and moderate Democrats are hoping and praying that this is like a thunderstorm, that it's going to go away.
00:22:28.000 That the, as long as they wait it out, they shelter in place, all of this pent-up anger and frustration will eventually calm down.
00:22:38.000 You know, let's go send people $1,000 a month.
00:22:41.000 That'll keep them happy.
00:22:43.000 Let's just go forgive their student loan debt.
00:22:47.000 That'll calm down the masses. 0.68
00:22:49.000 No different than the Romans holding Coliseum events and throwing bread to the citizens to try and prevent them from revolting.
00:22:59.000 But as the great Roman consul Cicero argued, who was a one-year serving Roman council and an author who I believe was actually murdered because of his beliefs, Cicero is one of the most articulate thinkers who actually came up with the three branches of government.
00:23:18.000 He argued and he argued correctly because he saw the downfall of Rome before Roman became the Roman Empire.
00:23:24.000 It was from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire right before Julius Caesar declared the Roman Civil War when he crossed the Rubicon.
00:23:32.000 Cicero was assassinated. 0.51
00:23:33.000 My memory is correct.
00:23:34.000 Good. 0.50
00:23:38.000 He argued that without a strong middle class, without, as Aristotle called it, the golden mean, without a backbone of working people, the country will fall apart.
00:23:48.000 You can try public works projects.
00:23:49.000 You can try throwing bread to the citizens.
00:23:54.000 None of that's going to work.
00:23:56.000 You need people that own property, protect their property, start families, and protect their families.
00:24:09.000 And so this is just the latest chapter in a book titled, We Hate You.
00:24:21.000 It's that simple.
00:24:23.000 Every chapter is a little bit different.
00:24:26.000 The Tea Party movement, the Occupy Wall Street movement, the MAGA movement, the GameStop, the movement to parlor.
00:24:37.000 And the book is very simple.
00:24:39.000 And again, I didn't write the book.
00:24:40.000 I'm just telling you what it's called.
00:24:43.000 Post-2008, there are people, tens of millions of people, that are different on social issues, but they're actually very much the same on their analysis of the direction of the country.
00:24:53.000 They're saying, we hate you.
00:24:55.000 You lie to us.
00:24:57.000 You lie to us about shutdowns.
00:24:59.000 You lie about lockdowns.
00:25:01.000 You lie about school data, epidemiology.
00:25:05.000 You lie to us about ICU capacity.
00:25:07.000 You lie to us about nursing homes, which Andrew Cuomo did, and we'll get to that in just a second.
00:25:12.000 You lie to us about economic data, and you get richer, and you never get held accountable.
00:25:23.000 You see, working people are actually a lot smarter than you give them credit for.
00:25:27.000 And one of the great slanders that is occurring right now is trying to slander every single Trump supporter in the country as if they're Viking shaman Chewbacca man that stormed the Capitol.
00:25:40.000 That's not correct.
00:25:41.000 As I said on Fox News a couple days after the Capitol tragedy, Trump supporters were saddened and outraged with what they saw.
00:25:50.000 It's a narrative to try to invalidate the concerns of Trump supporters across the country, as if that was an embodiment of every single person out there.
00:25:59.000 And the more we learn, the more we realize that there were non-ideological paramilitary instigators and agitators that were there before the president's speech that were there going to look for a fight, not trying to actually protest anything around the election in full military tactical gear.
00:26:14.000 And they're directly connected together.
00:26:17.000 But the working class people are actually smarter than I think we give them credit for. 1.00
00:26:23.000 They see the repeated failure or the repeated pattern, I should say, of failing upwards.
00:26:31.000 The rule in Washington, D.C. is if you screw something up and you still exist, you get promoted.
00:26:39.000 That's the rule.
00:26:41.000 The rule in Washington, D.C., like Dr. Anthony Fauci or Chuck Schumer or Nancy Pelosi or Andrew McCabe, you mess something up, you commit a crime, and you get promoted.
00:26:54.000 Andrew McCabe is making more money than he ever has his entire life, despite all the evidence that he acted in a nefarious way with the Russian investigation, crossfire hurricane against President Trump.
00:27:08.000 So working people under the guiding thesis of we hate you, and we feel voiceless.
00:27:18.000 We feel helpless.
00:27:20.000 And then the one outlet they had, which was President Trump, literally you can't see what he's thinking or doing at all.
00:27:29.000 No communication levers whatsoever.
00:27:31.000 He puts out press releases.
00:27:33.000 Okay, great.
00:27:36.000 And then all of a sudden, the financial elites are like, well, why are they coming for us?
00:27:45.000 Republicans are failing this moment right now.
00:27:48.000 They would be very, if they want to win back the House in 2022, go do a press conference and condemn the collusion practices that led to all of this.
00:27:58.000 Democrats are the party of Wall Street.
00:28:01.000 Do not forget that.
00:28:02.000 Republicans, I'm not sure what they're the party of.
00:28:05.000 They should be the party of working people.
00:28:08.000 But when there's a moment to represent working people against Wall Street, nowhere to be found.
00:28:15.000 Let's focus on the Democrats because it's more fun. 0.93
00:28:18.000 Let's go to cut one of these cuts, Jen Saki trying to justify all this, whatever cut that is. 1.00
00:28:24.000 Play this one.
00:28:25.000 Well, just to be clear, what I said was that we have the Treasury Secretary is now confirmed.
00:28:30.000 Obviously, we have a broad economic team.
00:28:32.000 The SEC put out a statement yesterday that I referred to, but I don't think I have anything more for you on it other than to say, separate from the GameStop issue, the Secretary of Treasury is one of the world-renowned experts on markets, on the economy.
00:28:49.000 Which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone she was paid to give her perspective and advice before she came into office.
00:28:57.000 So the Biden administration is doubling down on a widely unpopular and broken, and some people would say rigged financial system.
00:29:06.000 So Elizabeth Warren, who tries to be a crusader for the little guy, Elizabeth Warren, who goes around and says, we need to go hold Wall Street accountable and represent Main Street.
00:29:15.000 She wrote a letter, I think this is to the SEC, is that right?
00:29:18.000 To the Security Exchange Commission, where Elizabeth Warren said, quote, to what extent did online message boards such as that on Reddit or broader social media amplifications impact the fluctuation of GameStop prices?
00:29:30.000 Did any of these practices violate existing securities laws?
00:29:33.000 Here, Elizabeth Warren, I'm going to answer the question for you.
00:29:35.000 It probably did break the law, and it, of course, contributed to the fluctuation.
00:29:39.000 Why are you calling for an investigation into that?
00:29:42.000 Elizabeth Warren is going after the Reddit traders in her recent letter to regulators. 1.00
00:29:50.000 That's Elizabeth Warren, who pretends to be a fighter for the little person. 1.00
00:29:58.000 In fact, her slogan was: dream big, fight hard. 1.00
00:30:02.000 The little guy can win.
00:30:04.000 Okay, Elizabeth Warren.
00:30:07.000 Bernie Sanders, nowhere to be found. 0.86
00:30:12.000 AOC is participating, albeit rather, let's just say, spot on for her. 0.85
00:30:20.000 She's just, she's par for the course, accusing people of murder, so on and so forth.
00:30:29.000 The energy is growing for what is going to either result in an even more robust MAGA movement that will continue this idea of putting America first and our workers first, or we are going to have a Bolshevik revolution, the likes of which none of us have seen before.
00:31:01.000 I want you to imagine if the Democrats were organized.
00:31:05.000 If I was a Democrat socialist, which thank goodness I'm not, you know what I would do?
00:31:11.000 I would run and say that no one in America should have a net worth over $100 billion.
00:31:18.000 And that net worth should be taxed and given for universal basic income and free college.
00:31:23.000 They're already starting to do this, but their branding is so terrible.
00:31:26.000 The point is this.
00:31:28.000 The desire is there.
00:31:30.000 The hatred is there.
00:31:32.000 I want to read something from you from Reddit, sent to me from a friend.
00:31:38.000 Every Republican should listen carefully.
00:31:40.000 I'm going to just skip some parts of this, but you'll get the point.
00:31:43.000 I remember when the housing collapse sent a torpedo through my family.
00:31:46.000 My father's concrete company almost collapsed overnight.
00:31:48.000 My father lost his home.
00:31:49.000 My uncle lost his home.
00:31:51.000 I remember my brother helping my father count pocket change on our kitchen table.
00:31:54.000 That's all the money he had left in the world.
00:31:56.000 When this was happening in my home, I saw the hedge funders literally drinking champagne as they looked down on the Occupy Wall Street protesters.
00:32:02.000 I will never forget that.
00:32:04.000 My father never recovered from that blow.
00:32:05.000 He fell deeper and deeper into alcoholism and exists now as a shell of his former self, waiting for death.
00:32:11.000 This is all the money I have, and I'd rather lose it than give them what they need to destroy me.
00:32:18.000 Taking money from me won't hurt me because I don't value it at all.
00:32:21.000 I just burn it all down just to spite them.
00:32:24.000 This is for you, Dad. 0.51
00:32:27.000 You hear that? 0.97
00:32:29.000 I'd burn it all down just to spite them.
00:32:37.000 The future of American politics rests solely on which political movement can seize all of this pent-up political, all this pent-up populist energy.
00:32:50.000 And guess what?
00:32:51.000 The socialists are winning.
00:32:54.000 The socialists are doing a far better job than Republicans are.
00:33:01.000 Workers are struggling, and Main Street America is in crisis.
00:33:07.000 This is an SOS symbol.
00:33:09.000 I hope we'll listen.
