00:01:11.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:07.000We're going to keep fighting for what we've been doing.
00:02:08.000Yeah, I spoke three at Calvary Chapel, Thousand Oaks, Godspeak, and Rob McCoy's Church, and then John Randall's Church in San Juan Capistrano.
00:02:18.000And one wonderful, lovely lady, a patriot.
00:02:22.000I went through just kind of how awful the last couple weeks have been.
00:02:25.000And one of the things I said was, you know, Joe Biden's going to be president.
00:02:29.000And this one wonderful woman stood up and she was like, no.
00:02:45.000And especially how we got here with so many unanswered questions, so many things that have happened.
00:02:51.000And so now Joe Biden looks as if he is not going to wait.
00:02:55.000He's not going to wait or waste any time to try and reverse some of the progress from the executive branch that was made by President Donald Trump.
00:03:03.000He is planning on day one, or at least the consecutive days, to try and unilaterally grant amnesty.
00:03:12.000He's already in negotiations and talks to try to get us back in the Iran nuclear deal.
00:03:18.000He is also, I believe, trying to get us back in the Paris Climate Accord.
00:03:24.000There's a whole list of stuff that he wants to do on day one.
00:03:27.000And Isabel, I think you have some of those stuff detailed there too.
00:03:30.000He's absolutely not wasting any time, Charlie, and he's ready to sort of reverse the progress that was made from a conservative perspective in the last four years as soon as possible.
00:03:40.000You're right, day one, he is promising to put us back into the Paris Climate Agreement, saying that it's absolutely devastating that the United States is not a part of it.
00:03:49.000He will sign an order requiring masks on all federal property and for interstate travel.
00:03:54.000And he's also using part of his inaugural address on Wednesday to urge Americans to commit to wearing masks, not legally, but because it's the right thing to do for at least 100 days to help slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
00:04:06.000Yeah, and it'll be very interesting to see kind of where some of these lockdowns head.
00:04:09.000I'm going to be super curious to see that.
00:04:11.000We're starting to see kind of a preview that some of these liberal states, some liberal cities are actually going to be opening up now that Joe Biden is president.
00:04:20.000It seems as if Chicago and New York and even parts of California are kind of signaling, oh, Joe Biden is president.
00:04:26.000Now we can start to open up restaurants and no longer be locked down.
00:04:30.000We'll see about that because there is a specific political purpose that they want to keep everything shut down and lockdown.
00:04:38.000Mostly because the more lockdowns there are, the more that they can get towards some form of a either great reset, bailouts for these blue states, things of that nature.
00:04:51.000And so I do want to take a step back because, you know, speaking to so many people yesterday and talking to so many people, I know a lot of people right now are depressed.
00:04:59.000And a lot of people are in a place where they say, Charlie, where is the hope?
00:05:52.000I said, but we as conservatives, and especially those of us that are believers, we must find this as an opportunity, a joyful opportunity to build new, to be able to create and, of course, push back against all this nonsense that Biden is going to put forward.
00:06:10.000And some people are saying, well, Charlie, we're never going to be able to win another election again.
00:06:15.000You look at what happened in Florida, you look at Ohio, you look at Iowa, you look at how well we did in the House of Representatives, even in corrupt California.
00:06:23.000Mike Garcia, Young Kim, and Michelle Steele all won their races.
00:06:27.000We have a younger, more principled party than ever before.
00:06:31.000And so there are some amazing success stories out of this election where it feels as if everything's bad just because we lost the top-tier ticket.
00:06:40.000And I think one of the major takeaways here is going to be what are we as conservatives going to do in the next nine months when people come back.
00:06:52.000And so I have hope for a couple of reasons.
00:06:56.000One of the reasons I have hope is that the Democrats are going to miraculously screw all of this up.
00:07:01.000Not just a little bit, but they are going to mess up not just the budgets, not just the way a government is run, but in the first couple hundred days, moderate to just swing voters independents are going to come back and they say, we want Republicans back in charge.
00:07:22.000And the question will be: are we going to have the infrastructure, the candidates, the planning, the messaging, even some of the new business ventures that we have to do?
00:07:30.000And we now have to go find new servers, phones, app stores.
00:07:34.000We got a lot of work to do, guys, in a couple of years, okay?
00:07:37.000It's not just we have to win political arguments.
00:07:39.000We now have to build out kind of a political entire economic ecosystem.
00:07:44.000And on top of that, we have to realize and recognize that the left strategy right now is to try to break our will.
00:08:09.000And here's one of the really amazing points of the United States Constitution.
00:08:14.000And our founding fathers and our framers did so much thinking about this: it's very hard to revolutionize and take over a country in less than six years.
00:08:28.000You have to win public opinion and elections on the state, local, and federal level for six years consecutively before you are able to fundamentally transform the country.
00:09:48.000We need investigations and we need real reform.
00:09:50.000We need to do elections the way that Florida does, especially in Arizona and Georgia.
00:09:54.000And if we don't fix that, then we got real problems.
00:09:56.000Because right now, you have a Republican House, Senate, and governor in Arizona.
00:10:01.000Same in Georgia, despite all the complaints that we've leveled against him.
00:10:07.000If you fix that, and we field strong, principled, grassroots, patriotic candidates coming up here in the next six to nine months, Democrats are going to be on defense because they're no longer going to be able to deflect.
00:10:21.000They're no longer going to be able to punt.
00:10:23.000They're going to have to own every single policy from this point forward.
00:10:30.000Let's go to cut seven of Democrat Representative Cohen on CNN saying the National Guard attacking the National Guard because of how male it is and how few of them voted for Joe Biden.
00:12:02.000That sounds similar to what Barack Obama said back in 2007 or eight, right before they got elected.
00:12:10.000He said, we are just a couple days from fundamentally transforming our country.
00:12:16.000So we're getting a lot of emails, Isabel, freedom at charliekirk.com, where people are saying, Charlie, why are you covering all of this stuff?
00:12:25.000Don't you understand that Trump's going to serve four more years?
00:12:28.000And I'm going to reserve some of my more, let's say, I'm going to do a comprehensive show on this on Thursday or Friday, which is kind of talking about the fake news problem on the right.
00:12:44.000I just, I want to just wait a couple days for all of these theories to be proven totally incorrect.
00:12:51.000However, I talked about this at length yesterday, and I think it's really, really important, which is if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
00:13:02.000And if there is a story that is so outlandish that all of a sudden you have been led to believe that despite the congressional certification and the constitutional certification, that Donald Trump is 100% serving four more years, then you're being misled.
00:13:22.000But I will tell you that the fake news issue where some people are probably, I'll give you a great example.
00:13:29.000We got hundreds of emails over, you know, over the last couple of weeks of how Mike Pence is facing charges for treason.
00:13:36.000And this is not a small group of people that were emailing us.
00:13:39.000I thought to myself, where did this come from?
00:13:42.000And the issue with this sort of news distribution and consumption is if we do not have shared lines of communication or facts when it comes to any forms of these topics, then we're not going to be able to have dialogue about anything meaningful.
00:14:03.000Then no one's going to trust anything that they write, that is written or that they consume.
00:14:07.000And that's basically where we are right now in the country, where a lot of people say, I don't trust anything on TV.
00:14:13.000And that's probably an accurate place.
00:14:15.000I mean, that's where I am with a lot and with most news institutions, almost everything that I read, I'm like, yeah, there's an agenda behind this.
00:14:22.000However, just because you don't trust CNN doesn't make the message board true.
00:14:30.000And so we're going to go through in another podcast and another live stream the process of just how to spot some of this stuff, but it's been growing at an alarming rate.
00:14:40.000And just the sheer number of emails that we've received from this show in the last week or so, especially since last Wednesday, with disinformation, people insisting that what they heard was true and here's their source for it.
00:14:52.000Meanwhile, we have very, very credible sources from within the White House, for example, about the location of the vice president and the president of the United States.
00:15:00.000So I'm definitely alarmed at just the level of disinformation that's out there and how easy it is to be spread around.
00:15:07.000If I was a liberal, I would be cheering and writing this stuff because I would want to confuse the ranks of the conservative movement.
00:15:15.000I would want to spread intentional misinformation and disinformation, which makes you less likely to be engaged and involved in this fight.
00:15:29.000You may not know this about me, but I love studying the global economy.
00:16:55.000That is what we call hopium, which is hope mixed with opium.
00:17:00.000It makes you feel good, but it is not rooted in reality.
00:17:03.000This is, again, the sharpest criticism I will level against this will be on Thursday or Friday once all of it has been definitively that none of this stuff is true.
00:17:16.000But it is becoming more and more clear that a lot of these kind of pseudo-websites and message boards have been written on rumor and innuendo and by design, intentional design to mislead the public.
00:17:30.000And it's wrong when CNN does something like that, and it's wrong when some message board does something like that.
00:17:36.000So, thank you for the question, Sarah.
00:20:38.000And it kind of was a lot less dramatic than I think some of the pictures showed it.
00:20:44.000I mean, the impression that we got when the shaman was pictured at the vice president's chair was as if he took his staff and like beat people to get there.
00:21:25.000There was footage that was showing people that were invited into the Capitol.
00:21:31.000And there is now footage of people that were showing that they were barging down going into it.
00:21:36.000And now some of you might be wondering, Charlie, why are you focusing so much on this?
00:21:39.000It's actually really, really important for a variety of different reasons.
00:21:43.000Number one, we just impeached a president over this.
00:21:45.000Number two, the Democrats are going to use this as a narrative building tool.
00:21:49.000Number three, the pursuit of truth is always something that is worthwhile.
00:21:52.000So don't get exhausted when you actually try to find facts regardless of what narrative it might be.
00:21:57.000You know, that's just an important thing to do in life.
00:21:59.000And the fourth thing is that if this narrative goes not countered, uncountered, I guess is a word for it, then they're going to use this as an excuse to expand their security state.
00:22:11.000And we're talking about massive surveillance, infiltration, sacrificing of due process rights, a new Patriot Act, if you will, that could be used against conservatives if this narrative does not get challenged at all whatsoever.
00:23:33.000Now, the MASH guy in a later clip is shown going through people's Senate binders and taking pictures and saying, we got to get information.
00:25:10.000So he wrote a note that actually later is shown where he said something along the lines of justice will be served or something.
00:25:17.000Yeah, it was something along those lines.
00:25:19.000And so the shaman was definitely one of the more aggressive guys that went up there.
00:25:23.000What you started to see in real time is the Capitol Hill Security Force police officer start to say, and we didn't actually show this tape, and it's a lot.
00:25:40.000What you started to see, though, in my personal observation and opinion, this is not legitimizing at all what they did, you know, breaking and entering into the Capitol.
00:25:49.000What you started to see, though, is as soon as the adrenaline started to fade a little bit, I think a lot of these guys started were like, whoa, maybe we shouldn't be here right now.
00:26:13.000And so the gentleman that started in the video got shot by a rubber bullet and probably on the way in.
00:26:19.000And so there's other pieces of clip that will play from this.
00:26:24.000The 12 minutes is pretty, it's pretty captivating stuff.
00:26:27.000I mean, it's like right up close and personal as it is happening.
00:26:31.000And again, I want to just be very clear about when you look at the clip.
00:26:36.000Some of these people on the clips that this guy had were acting completely and totally improperly.
00:26:41.000When you're starting to go through senators' binders and personal information, I mean, it doesn't, anyone who pleads like, oh, I didn't know that was against, I mean, give me a break.
00:26:51.000You're going through senators' personal items, which very well could be classified information, taking pictures of them.
00:26:58.000And one of the individuals in one of the clips said, he said something along the lines of, there must be something in these binders that we can use against these guys.
00:27:12.000Not much of a defense can be given against that.
00:27:14.000And then there were other guys that just seemed to be, you know, they went in, and I guess a short way to put it is that they were following the crowd.
00:27:27.000However, you started to see the crowd in the Senate chamber start to thin out as soon as I think a lot of them realized exactly what they were doing.
00:27:36.000Email us your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:27:40.000We're going to get more clips from that tape.
00:27:43.000I think it has 15 or 20 million views in just the last 12 hours.
00:27:47.000And most people in the journalist community are using that tape strictly and solely as a piece to confirm their narrative.
00:27:56.000And while that there are parts of it that I will say definitely confirm their narrative, there are other parts that I think actually open up more questions where the police officers let them in without any obstruction, without any sort of cross-examination or questioning.
00:28:12.000And so that's something I think really needs to get built out.
00:28:16.000The consequence is Jeremy Bash, cut three, NBC, says, quote, we're going to have to reset our entire intelligence approach to these white supremacist militia.
00:28:27.000We're going to have to look at greater surveillance of them.
00:28:29.000FBI is going to have to run confidential sources.
00:28:33.000And I think we're going to have to reset our entire intelligence approach to these white supremacist militias, these dangerous ultra-nationalist organizations.
00:28:45.000I think we're going to have to look at a greater surveillance of them.
00:28:48.000The FBI is going to have to run confidential sources.
00:28:51.000That sort of line of thinking can be very, very problematic.
00:29:00.000There's this gentleman who has been posting.
00:29:04.000I wouldn't really call him a gentleman.
00:29:06.000His name is Mike Dunn, and he's a leader of a group called the Boogaloo Boys, which is an anti-government group and even shows that they are anti-Trump in some ways.
00:29:19.000Basically, I don't like all these labels.
00:29:57.000So this guy, Mike Dunn, said on Twitter during all of this that also it's to revel in the breach of security while mocking the defenses that protect tyranny, whether that be Trump or others.
00:30:39.000Yesterday, when presented with that moment, undercover boys, spelled B-O-I-S, went to work to hype up the people.
00:30:48.000Working alongside of others, a breach was made into the building, which is rightfully ours to walk in as we please because our tax is paid for it.
00:30:56.000The video posted is pieced from several of our boys who provided Overwatch along with direction.
00:31:03.000This is a public admission of terrorism.
00:31:08.000The video does not incriminate anyone of ours and was sent to us anonymously by the Last Sons of the Boogaloo Boys.
00:31:36.000He's 22 years old from Virginia, and he has bragged many times from infiltrating MAGA-type things.
00:31:45.000This is from Alicia Poe, who has written all this, done a really good job of cataloging all this together.
00:31:50.000Mike Dunn on Twitter also really, let's say, bragged, I guess, saying that he was infiltrating the MAGA group in the midst of what happened at the Capitol.
00:32:07.000Fall away, just so you guys know, right after all the George Floyd stuff started over the summer, he came out and spoke in favor of some of the BLM protests.
00:32:23.000He said, Me and my boys attend every protest that we can in Virginia.
00:32:27.000We've been at BLM protests, Trump protests, Black Guns Matter protests.
00:32:32.000For us to have been in DC should not have been surprising.
00:32:34.000And all those voices crying for revolt who want to complain now sit down, Six Semper Tyrannis.
00:32:40.000And so this guy seems to be heavily involved in something and has a lot of information in regards to infiltration, direction, and certainly does not seem like someone who is an ideological Trump supporter.
00:32:54.000This guy looks at someone who is much more concerned about creating chaos than actually trying to put forward some form of, you know, an agenda that is consistent with President Trump.
00:33:15.000He's saying that anyone who is in charge must be fought against at all costs.
00:33:22.000Look, cancel culture is a very big problem.
00:33:25.000And the fact is, the internet never forgets.
00:33:28.000There has never been a more important time to protect your internet activity, which is why I urge you to get ExpressVPN.
00:33:33.000Everything you search for, watch or click online can be tracked by big tech companies.
00:33:38.000They then match your activity to your true identity using your device's unique IP address.
00:33:44.000When I switch on ExpressVPN with my computer or phone, my IP address is masked by a secure VPN server, which makes it harder for websites to identify me.
00:33:53.000The ExpressVPN app also encrypts my network data to protect my sensitive information from being compromised.
00:34:00.000Plus, you can use ExpressVPN on up to five devices simultaneously so multiple users on your network can stay safe with a single subscription.
00:34:08.000What I like the best is how easy it is to use.
00:34:11.000It just takes one click to protect all your devices.
00:34:13.000That's why they're rated the number one VPN by CNET and Wired.
00:34:17.000So stop handing over your data to big tech companies.
00:35:00.000My question is this: Why are Democrats using the terms white supremacy and white nationalism when talking about January 6th and the Capitol?
00:35:09.000I don't understand how those terms have anything to do with what happened that day.
00:35:13.000Yeah, and so some people are leveling that criticism because they saw Confederate flags and they saw anti-Semitic imagery from some of the people that were involved in this.
00:35:29.000However, As we've talked about on this program, there are many different actors and forces that have been involved in this.
00:35:37.000You have the kind of pro-chaos, anti-government forces that just seem they have never found an encounter that they don't want to be involved in in some way, shape, or form.
00:35:48.000Then you had just normal Trump supporters that, in their own words, got caught up in something that they deeply regret and they went in.
00:35:56.000And then you had people that were professional agitators like John Sullivan that we went through in great detail.
00:36:02.000And by the way, is John Sullivan still in jail?
00:36:35.000And so John Sullivan is not in jail, whereas many other people who participated were.
00:36:41.000We don't know what that judge was thinking, but the prosecutors are pretty upset about that.
00:36:45.000However, there are many different actors and people involved, as well as this guy that we talked about by the name, this is Alicia Poe, who wrote this really fact, just a really well-detailed article.
00:37:45.000So this guy, Mike Dunn, at the end of all of his communications, signs things saying sick semper tyrannis, which I think is some form.
00:37:56.000I don't know what he means by that, but I think we know what he means by that, which is that he's trying to say that he wants to see people in power no longer be living, which is a pretty disgusting and reprehensible thing.
00:38:06.000And he admits in his own social media posts that he goes to BLM protests.
00:38:14.000Basically, wherever there's a crowd, these guys go into it.
00:38:16.000And he said in his own parlor post, and he called Trump a tyrant, this guy, he said in his parlor post, quote, any moment to use to throw a middle finger to tyranny should be capitalized on.
00:38:29.000Yesterday, when presented with that moment, undercover boys, B-O-I-S, went to work to hype up the people.
00:38:37.000Something that we thought, you know, might be happening, that there was agitators.
00:38:42.000There were people that were saying things that otherwise wouldn't have been thought or said, but all of a sudden, other people start to react to it.
00:39:07.000But basically, there's this really thoughtful psychological analysis that has been done that when you're in massive crowds, you actually can fall susceptible to doing things you never otherwise would have done in your own individual state.
00:39:21.000And so we'll get the right citations and stuff for that.
00:39:23.000Anyway, so he said, hype up the people working alongside of others, Last Sons not being solely responsible for the events that took place.
00:39:31.000A breach was made into the building, which is rightfully ours to walk in as we please because our tax is paid for it.
00:40:24.000Different forces, different ideologies, different reasons for being there.
00:40:28.000There were just so many moving pieces.
00:40:30.000And I think ultimately it's going to take a lot of time to unpack what happened last Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol.
00:40:35.000But Ainsley, to answer your question, I think it's convenient for the media and certain political actors to blanket coverage this as some form of white supremacy and white nationalism because it's scary and it's effective to get people to be terrified of what happened last week.
00:40:51.000And let me be clear, what happened last week is not okay in any way, shape, or form.
00:40:55.000We've been very clear about that for the last week and a half or so.
00:40:59.000But just to blatantly assume that all people were there to exercise some sort of motive that was driven by white supremacy or racial tension, I think is intellectually just not all there.
00:41:11.000There's some laziness to that argument.
00:42:06.000And you might have said, what was just all of that?
00:42:08.000That was a video of rioters, and some would call them terrorists based on the new way that we describe terrorism.
00:42:16.000And I would agree with that description, by the way, when you try to use violence to achieve a, when you try to achieve a violent, when you try to achieve a political aim using violence, then I would absolutely consider that to be terrorism.
00:42:33.000And so what you have seen here is people that were walking through the streets, that were riding on bikes, that were setting things on fire, that quite honestly looked very similar to what we saw at the Capitol.
00:42:48.000This was just on the streets of Washington, D.C.
00:42:51.000And so this has never before seen footage before.
00:42:55.000And there were hundreds and hundreds of people that were arrested and charged at the time.
00:43:02.000This is BizPack review from John Doherty.
00:43:04.000Did you know that hundreds of rioters destroyed property, set fires to streets and cars during Trump's 2017 inauguration, and all charges were dropped?
00:43:18.000John Doherty on BizPack Review says, quote, as the FBI continues to arrest dozens of people allegedly involved in the Capitol building riot earlier this month, ahead of Joe Biden's inauguration, it was just four years ago when similar rioting took place throughout Washington.
00:43:39.000We'll never get a good answer to that.
00:43:41.000However, if you burn, loot, riot, and terrorize after a Republican becomes president, your charges get dropped.
00:43:50.000If you do that under the guise of anything on the quote-unquote right, they're going to throw the book at you.
00:43:58.000Somebody asked us a very good question here, Michelle.
00:44:01.000And this is the type of approach we're going to take to that's how we take the approach to everything, but this is something that I think has been really missing in all of this, which is, hi, Charlie, how come no one is talking about the Air Force veteran who was shot or what the DC mayor said about telling her police to stand down with the Capitol Police?
00:44:20.000But we should be asking a question of, was that a rightful means of force?
00:44:24.000And again, on this program, we generally take a position of siding with law enforcement action until otherwise other evidence emerges, where other people take the opposite opinion, which has been so amazing to me, though, is how Democrats who spend time bashing police professionally have, in this one instance, refused to say that this police officer shot someone unarmed.
00:44:47.000Now, again, maybe she was posing some sort of threat or had a weapon.
00:44:59.000What I am saying, though, is that the Democrats never miss an opportunity ever to attack and to criticize a police officer who fires a weapon at someone that does not have an equal weapon to them in that scenario.
00:45:15.000And what we're seeing is just kind of this woman be forgotten.
00:45:22.000And so I really hope that a full investigation gets done here and we found out exactly what's done.
00:45:26.000That's a very good question, Michelle.
00:45:28.000Thank you for emailing us, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:45:30.000Okay, let's get to some more videos here.
00:45:32.000Some footage that I just think is very helpful to be able to find out what the heck actually happened at the Capitol.
00:45:48.000This footage is very helpful because this one in particular, because the shaman Viking man walks into the Senate chamber with no resistance at all whatsoever.
00:45:58.000And the cop kind of just greets him and is like, can you please not do this?
00:46:48.000And so then he basically, one of the reasons why this video went viral is that does not look as violent as an entry as we are told.
00:46:59.000Now, there are other parts where it was absolutely violent and people were smashing windows and coming through windows, but this video looks like the Viking shaman man just kind of strolls right in with the police officer following him and the police officer basically kind of reluctantly going to persuasion saying, can you please just leave, please?
00:47:17.000And they ended agreeing, and they're saying that we just want to make sure no one's disrespecting the place.
00:47:21.000There's other tape here that we will get where people are going through personal items, taking pictures of senator notes and binders and things of that nature.
00:47:29.000That I think are, I think that's also very, very telling there.
00:47:34.000And so it's important that we paint that entire picture.
00:47:38.000Let's go to cut 12 here, where one of the Capitol rioters are there saying that there must be something we can use against these quote-unquote scumbags.
00:48:22.000The shaman is, there was a real eclectic group of people just in the Senate chamber, right?
00:48:27.000And so we have to remember that this was a very unusual event in more ways than one.

00:50:37.000They're losing their jobs, having their insurance canceled, their book contracts like Senator Josh Hawley, and recording deals torn up.
00:50:45.000They're being banned from flying or banking or even speaking on social media.
00:50:50.000A petition at Harvard University even demands Trump staffers have their degrees revoked.
00:50:55.000A feverish mood is afoot, evoking the spirit of McCarthyism in the Salem witch trials, in which irrationality and hysteria point fingers at the innocent.
00:51:06.000But it's not just an emotional overreaction to the frightening events on January the 6th.
00:51:11.000It's a deliberate tactic, bingo, designed to intimidate conservatives and silence their protests when the Biden administration radically remakes the country as it has promised to do from day one.
00:51:21.000Democrats and their allies in corporate America are preemptively taking out the opposition because they know their prescriptions don't work and are opposed by a majority of Americans, Miranda Devine says.
00:51:34.000Dismantling border protection is exactly the worst thing to do at a time when our health system is hard-pressed in coping with the Chinese coronavirus and our economy is weak, but they're planning to do that anyway.
00:51:46.000Continues by saying later in here in the article that the aim is to dehumanize conservatives so any cruelty can be inflicted on them and they are powerless to resist.
00:51:59.000Now, what Miranda Devine perfectly identifies is the narrative surrounding the events on January the 6th.
00:52:08.000Who is involved, the motivations, the pre-planning?
00:52:11.000Are they actually Trump supporters or are they fringe people that infiltrate and they call themselves Trump supporters?
00:52:16.000Are these mainstream Trump people or do they get caught up in it?
00:52:24.000And the more footage that we're able to review, the more stories we're able to hear, the more information that is being brought to light, the better, because this narrative is now going to be the predominant Democrat tool to push forward their agenda starting Wednesday.
00:52:42.000The narrative is that our policies might be terrible, unpopular, and bad for the country, but the other side tried to burn down the Capitol building and you should be scared of them.
00:52:52.000Even the good Republicans, they want to do that.
00:52:57.000The people that had nothing to do with it.
00:52:59.000And so this narrative is incredibly important to push back against, at least to demand some nuance in the reporting of it.
00:53:12.000And it's also not inconsequential politically.
00:53:15.000They peeped President Trump in less than eight hours over this narrative.
00:53:21.000They took President Trump off Twitter because of this narrative.
00:53:26.000And so the future of our politics and our country, at least the short-term future, will be our ability to clarify and calm down the temperature, calm down the tensions, I should say.
00:53:47.000Bring down the temperature and say, hold on a second, who is actually involved here?
00:54:16.000That's the real problem in our country.
00:54:17.000And he says, and he's right, it's amazing it took them this long to realize it, that those of us that are conservative influencers, I guess that's what we are.
00:54:26.000I've never called myself one, but that's what they call us.
00:54:29.000We have bigger influence than CNN, as he says it's on CNN, play tape.
00:54:34.000And second, we have to turn down the capability of these conservative influencers to reach these huge audiences.
00:54:39.000There are people on YouTube, for example, that have a larger audience than daytime CNN.
00:54:45.000And they are extremely radical and pushing extremely radical views.
00:54:49.000And so it's up to the Facebooks and YouTubes in particular to think about whether or not they want to be effectively cable networks for disinformation.
00:54:57.000And then we're going to have to figure out the OANN and Newsmax problem.
00:54:59.000You know, these companies have freedom of speech, but I'm not sure we need Verizon, ATT, Comcast, and such to be bringing them into tens of millions of homes.
00:55:09.000Nothing good ever happens after they have freedom of speech, but that's just never a good sentence.
00:55:18.000And again, you said it perfectly, Charlie.
00:55:20.000We've been saying for years around here at Turning Point USA that the most successful people in the conservative movement have followings that dwarf that combined of people like CNN, MSNBC, and these large entities that are spewing leftist propaganda on airwaves all day long.
00:55:35.000All of a sudden, this is somehow a threat to these individuals because they can't control the narrative when it's not a competitor in the space.
00:55:42.000And even then, sometimes they can't control the narrative.
00:55:44.000We're having legitimate freedom of speech right now, us just hanging out here on the radio, doing live streams on YouTube, and connecting with people in a much more direct level than you can on cable networks.
00:55:54.000Well, and so Alex Stamos here, again, remember, this is now the new way this works, which is why we're spending so much time.
00:56:01.000And it's also just the right thing to do to go pursue truth always.
00:56:05.000The narrative, which has gone unquestioned in the media, is now then being used as a reason to suppress freedom of speech, to kick off social media accounts, expand the security state, and put forward an entire agenda.
00:56:18.000So then all of a sudden, if the narrative gets a little bit compromised, still with denunciation and repudiation, but maybe it's not really what you say it is.
00:56:30.000And all of a sudden, there were people that had this pre-planned beforehand that have no ideological preference whatsoever, that were wearing Trump gear as camouflage, as John Sullivan has said.
00:57:18.000They would be, and they probably are on these lists at the moment.
00:57:21.000I would not be surprised in the slightest if databases like we saw with calls for the Trump Accountability Project from AOC a few months ago were starting to be compiled about successful individuals who they call conservative influencers, whatever they want to define that to be, questioning this narrative and getting truth out there.
00:57:39.000And as you said, going after this pursuit of objective truth.
00:57:42.000That doesn't have to happen on a cable network show.
00:57:45.000That doesn't have to happen from the United States Congress forever in human history.
00:57:49.000That's been able to happen from any courageous individual.
00:57:52.000But now all of a sudden, the platform for doing so may be taken away because of the success of that momentum.
00:57:58.000And look, this all ties in as well with Ben Shapiro's backlash with writing in Political Playbook last week.
00:58:32.000And so Alex Stamos here, former security officer at Facebook, he's now advocating and arguing on CNN.
00:58:39.000Oh, yeah, you have freedom of speech, but like these big private companies that are carrying these channels, we got to go after them.
00:58:44.000And so CNN is now going to go on a campaign to go after One American News Network and Newsmax to try to kick them off cable providers and try to kick them off the current service providers.
00:58:58.000And could you imagine if conservatives tried to organize ourselves to kick CNN off of cable providers?
00:59:07.000It's because we actually care about principle more than we care about politics.
00:59:10.000That's what makes conservatives different.
00:59:12.000They care more about power and politics than principle.
00:59:15.000So for them, oh, yeah, freedom of speech, I guess that's a thing, but they're really bad people.
00:59:19.000Let's crush them because they're a threat to our power.
00:59:21.000Well, and it highlights the idea that we can accept difference of opinion.
00:59:25.000I've never been upset when someone disagrees with me politically or otherwise, but I think it's a unique starting point to have a crucial conversation about what our differences are and what we have in common, which is much more important.
00:59:35.000We see a lot of that on college campuses, Charlie, when we go speak to our chapters, that there's such intolerance from the left for us being there.
00:59:42.000But we usually invite those people to come to the front of the line during QA.
00:59:46.000We encourage debate and dissent and discussion, but now all of a sudden the left says there's absolutely no room for that in this unified America that we're trying to create.
01:00:15.000To address the treasonous rebellion conducted by the Democrat and Republican lawmakers, CCP agents, the FBI, DOJ, CIA, and others undermine, corrode, and dismantle the United States of America and its Constitution.
01:00:25.000These entities pose a direct threat to national security.
01:00:27.000I'll remain president indefinitely until all domestic enemies are arrested.
01:02:14.000And by the way, in prison, in prison, the determination should be that your sexual identity is defined by what you say it is, not what, in fact, the prison says it is.
01:02:27.000And in that case, you should be entitled also to OGBYN.
01:02:31.000Anyway, you didn't ask that question, but it's not likely to either, I guess.
01:02:37.000I can't believe I haven't seen this footage before.
01:02:38.000It looks like this was back when he was in Iowa.
01:02:40.000This is not anything that came out new, but he says that it doesn't matter what your biology is.
01:02:47.000If you're a man who says you're a woman, of course you should be able to go to a female prison.
01:02:50.000I'm sure a lot of people are going to be taking him up on that offer.
01:02:53.000Happening right now, a caravan is coming on their way to America with the impending presidency of Joe Biden coming.
01:03:02.000There is a lot of people coming to America illegally, as Joe Biden promises, a massive amnesty plan for tens of millions of people in our country.
01:03:40.000So that will be coming to America very soon.
01:03:43.000Unless those guards, who would seem like they're doing a very good job, I don't know what country that's in, and I don't know what that is, but if that is a caravan, which is what it looks like, they deserve to be applauded for that.

01:03:56.000I have a very important podcast out that I did yesterday.
01:03:58.000It was a speech I gave that I encourage all of you to listen to.
01:04:02.000There's a lot of unexpected blessings in this moment.
01:04:05.000There's a lot that's really quite honestly positive that we can look at and that we can grow from.
01:04:11.000The Democrats will screw all of this up, everybody.
01:04:13.000The Democrats are going to go through a period of time where they are going to fight over the current feast in front of them and the people are going to want us back in charge.
01:04:23.000The question is, are we going to be prepared?
01:04:25.000Are we going to change the way that we do elections in Georgia and Arizona?
01:04:28.000Are we going to run better candidates?
01:04:30.000And are we going to take more principle stands?
01:04:37.000Tomorrow, we're going to show up to work.
01:04:39.000We're going to keep doing everything we're going to do and keep fighting for the things that we believe in because if we don't, no one else will.
01:04:48.000Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
