The Charlie Kirk Show - Anarcho-Tyranny and Absolute Rights with Libby Emmons

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody.

00:00:00.000 Today in the Charlie Kirk Show, we unpack a story that we haven't mentioned, and we haven't mentioned it intentionally.

00:00:06.000 And that is the story of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp.

00:00:10.000 We are watching Me Too unravel in front of our very eyes.

00:00:13.000 We also talked a little bit about inflation.

00:00:15.000 And this episode kind of ends rather abruptly, just because we're at our Turning Point USA Young Women's Leadership Summit.

00:00:20.000 And I will complete the argument at a different time, I promise you.

00:00:22.000 So email me your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com, and subscribe to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast.

00:00:27.000 So type in Charlie Kirk Show and make sure you're subscribed and get your friends to do the same.

00:00:31.000 Get involved with Turning Point USA as we are here in Dallas, Texas, at our Young Women's Leadership Summit, tpusa.com slash YWLS, and come to our student action summit in late July in Tampa, tpusa.com/slash SAS.

00:00:45.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:46.000 Here we go.

00:00:47.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:49.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:00:51.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:54.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:58.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:59.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:00.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:01:02.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:08.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:17.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:20.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.

00:01:29.000 We are here in Dallas, Texas for our Young Women's Leadership Summit.

00:01:36.000 We're going to have over 2,500 young conservative women from across America just in a couple hours at our Young Women's Leadership Summit. 0.99

00:01:47.000 And so we're going to start off today with a story that, you know, typically we wouldn't be covering stories like this.

00:01:54.000 This is more of kind of a, some people would call it a celebrity-focused story.

00:01:59.000 And it's something that, quite honestly, I had no interest in talking about whatsoever.

00:02:04.000 And, but it seems as if there's actually some broader cultural implications that are going on here that I think we need to talk about and that we need to zero in on.

00:02:14.000 And so the trial of Johnny Depp versus Amber Heard.

00:02:19.000 I never heard of Amber Heard before.

00:02:21.000 People said she's a big deal. 0.99

00:02:23.000 I guess she was the one with the red hair in Aquaman.

00:02:27.000 She's a terrible actress, by the way. 1.00

00:02:28.000 I found her very not compelling and kind of rehearsed.

00:02:33.000 People say she's good looking, whatever.

00:02:36.000 I guess so.

00:02:38.000 Not really sure about that. 0.98

00:02:40.000 She just comes across as a crazy person, which she is. 1.00

00:02:43.000 And so Johnny Depp and her were married.

00:02:47.000 And again, there's some broader cultural stories here, implications and kind of political impacts behind the story, which is why we're talking about it.

00:02:55.000 So Johnny Depp and her were married.

00:02:57.000 Johnny Depp from Pirates the Caribbean.

00:03:00.000 Also, The Secret Window, which is a great movie, by the way.

00:03:03.000 Johnny Depp is an objectively terrific actor.

00:03:05.000 And again, I had no real interest in the story as this was progressing.

00:03:08.000 It was someone I never heard of suing Captain Jack Sparrow.

00:03:11.000 It was kind of weird.

00:03:12.000 I didn't really understand the whole part of that.

00:03:14.000 And so they go to trial, and then all these people are like, yeah, she pooped in his bed.

00:03:18.000 I'm like, why is this nationwide news?

00:03:20.000 It sounds like two crazy people suing each other.

00:03:23.000 But actually, it's really interesting when you look into it.

00:03:25.000 So you go a level deeper, and yesterday was the verdict.

00:03:28.000 So basically, Johnny Depp was suing to defend himself.

00:03:32.000 And this, you might not think this story applies to you, but it absolutely applies to you.

00:03:38.000 It applies to you in the sense of if you've ever been wrongly accused of anything, if you have a son or a grandson in your life and the world that you're putting them into, that this sort of a cultural battle is incredibly important because it sends a signal to future people that very well might be falsely accused.

00:03:56.000 So Johnny Depp was accused by Amber Heard for beating her.

00:04:02.000 And she said, he beat me, he broke my nose. 0.86

00:04:05.000 And immediately, Amber Heard, the crazy person, was believed.

00:04:10.000 And there was a massive kind of cost that came from this, where almost immediately Johnny Depp was canceled by every major institution imaginable, including Disney, by the way.

00:04:22.000 So Disney canceled Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean.

00:04:26.000 And so Johnny Depp was kind of in career limbo.

00:04:29.000 People were treating Johnny Depp like how Kevin Spacey was treated after all these accusations.

00:04:35.000 And this bothered Johnny Depp.

00:04:37.000 And so he said, I'm going to have to fight back.

00:04:38.000 I'm going to have to legally push back against it.

00:04:41.000 And so some people say, oh, Johnny Depp was too big to cancel.

00:04:44.000 I have nothing to do actually with how big Johnny Depp was. 1.00

00:04:46.000 I mean, they canceled Harvey Weinstein because he was a scumbag and he is a scumbag. 0.99

00:04:51.000 They canceled Bill Cosby because not exactly a good guy at all. 0.98

00:04:56.000 They tried to cancel Johnny Depp, but the only reason why Johnny Depp is now victorious is not because of how popular Johnny Depp is or how popular Johnny Depp, or how big of a following he has, it's because Johnny Depp fought back.

00:05:08.000 It's because Johnny Depp decided to put a line in the sand and say, you know what, I didn't beat you.

00:05:13.000 You are certifiable, and I'm going to tell the entire world that.

00:05:18.000 So this person, Amber Heard, again, I know very little about her except the fact that anyone who would try to destroy somebody's life based on fake accusations that are so patently fake and false really deserves to be called out for this.

00:05:34.000 And so Amber Heard was found liable for defaming Johnny Depp, and she pushed back against all these accusations in the last couple of days.

00:05:46.000 And so this is really kind of the last gasp of the Me Too movement.

00:05:50.000 The Me Too movement came onto the scene four or five years ago, which was basically trying to restructure societal norms and to try to destroy the patriarchy, kind of the alleged complaint that somehow women are being so incredibly oppressed by their male bosses and men are nothing but savage animals.

00:06:13.000 And, you know, if believe all women, regardless of the circumstances.

00:06:17.000 Now, of course, the believe all women thing didn't apply to Joe Biden and all of his accusations against him didn't apply to prominent Democrats, but it did take out a couple, Al Franken and many others.

00:06:28.000 They tried this with Brett Kavanaugh, Brett Kavanaugh fought back, and Brett Kavanaugh won.

00:06:33.000 So Johnny Depp decided to sue Amber Heard and Amber Heard fought back in this trial, of which I wasn't really following the details.

00:06:41.000 But the long and short of it is this, is that not only did Johnny Depp fight back against the accusations, he fought back against all these corporations that were so quick to go take the psycho woman's side without ever actually finding whether or not finding out she was telling the truth.

00:06:58.000 Like, was she actually telling the truth? 0.51

00:07:00.000 And in fact, not only was she not telling the truth, she was complete and total fabricating the entire situation.

00:07:07.000 So Me Too started with some legitimate complaints, Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, and it transitioned into the demands of the hordes of social justice warrior angry women that believe they could destroy the lives of men, and they do not care about the repercussions and they do not care about the consequences. 1.00

00:07:25.000 Now, just understand, the standard to be able to prove defamation in an American court is an unbelievably high standard.

00:07:35.000 In order to prove defamation, you have to be able to prove intent, not the result in an American court.

00:07:42.000 So to be able to convince a jury that you were defamed against and that someone intentionally had the intent to make things up against you is a very, very high standard.

00:07:54.000 And Johnny Depp came with all the receipts and all the evidence from voice memo recordings to text messages to third-party witnesses.

00:08:04.000 And now, just some interesting backstory.

00:08:06.000 Amber Heard was also dating Elon Musk for quite some time.

00:08:10.000 I'm just curious to see who is going to date Amber Heard next.

00:08:15.000 Who's going to do that?

00:08:16.000 Michael Avenatti?

00:08:18.000 Oh, Avenatti's in prison.

00:08:19.000 Well, that's where Amber Heard should go. 0.98

00:08:21.000 And I don't say that lightly.

00:08:22.000 He's going to prison.

00:08:24.000 Look, if you go out of your way to destroy somebody's life, you know, there should be a penalty to pay.

00:08:29.000 So now Amber Heard is coming out.

00:08:30.000 She says, I can't afford the judgment.

00:08:32.000 Well, that's too bad.

00:08:33.000 You should have thought of that before you said Johnny Depp punched you in the face and broke your nose. 1.00

00:08:37.000 You're a pathological liar. 0.99

00:08:39.000 And for all of you listening right now that feel as if this is just kind of two feuding celebrities, you know, I believe that for a couple of weeks. 0.99

00:08:45.000 It's not that I have any interest in these two people.

00:08:48.000 Obviously, they think really highly of themselves.

00:08:49.000 Anyone in Connie Hollywood celebrity culture, with a few exceptions, are complete and total narcissists.

00:08:54.000 Instead, it's a massive blow to the Me Too movement, the guilty until proven innocent crowd.

00:09:00.000 The kind of pattern of the weight of the accusation is somehow how we must configure your guilt or your innocence.

00:09:10.000 That was blown apart here.

00:09:12.000 And this applies to everybody.

00:09:14.000 If we look at what's happening in our country, they want to be able to destroy people by a simple accusation.

00:09:21.000 Thankfully, in our country, we've had a tradition of due process, of checks and balances, of an independent judiciary, that you need to have a far more robust track record of evidence than just saying Johnny Depp is a bad person.

00:09:34.000 He broke my nose.

00:09:36.000 I hope this is a message for every single person out there that might be thinking to potentially engage in a defamatory pattern of action against an innocent person.

00:09:45.000 Just because you don't like somebody doesn't mean you could lie, smear, and destroy their entire character of life.

00:09:51.000 And thank goodness that the justice system allowed this to play out, where Amber Heard has now been found liable. 0.97

00:10:00.000 And she now has to pay a huge verdict.

00:10:03.000 This is a deathblow to the Me Too movement, which was an attempt to destroy due process and the presumption of innocence.

00:10:13.000 Hello, everybody.

00:10:14.000 Charlie Kirk here.

00:10:14.000 Super important announcement.

00:10:16.000 Look, when you swipe your credit card, you're funding liberal causes dozens and dozens of times a month.

00:10:21.000 Every time you swipe that card, you might as well do BLM, LGBT, BLM, LGBT, Clinton Foundation.

00:10:28.000 But now there's a choice.

00:10:29.000 I got to know these guys.

00:10:30.000 I vetted them, checked out the technology.

00:10:32.000 I'm a partner with them.

00:10:33.000 I'm all in. 1.00

00:10:33.000 It's called Coin, C-O-I-G-N. 1.00

00:10:36.000 It's a new credit card built for conservatives.

00:10:38.000 I'm moving all my credit card activity under COIN.

00:10:41.000 And the Coin credit card is an unlimited cashback Visa credit card that is just like every other credit card you've ever owned with one huge exception.

00:10:48.000 Every time you use the Coin card, they contribute to conservative charities that support your values.

00:10:52.000 I'm using it, and you should too.

00:10:54.000 Remember, we have to create a parallel economy, and this is a great new option.

00:10:57.000 Act now.

00:10:58.000 Go to C-O-I-G-N.com right now to sign up to get a conservative coin credit card.

00:11:04.000 That's C-O-I-G-N.com.

00:11:07.000 Join Coin, and let's start spending right.

00:11:13.000 I'm going to dive a little bit more into this idea of the presumption of innocence.

00:11:16.000 So why is it that in the West, we have this tradition of the presumption of innocence?

00:11:24.000 Where does that come from?

00:11:26.000 Well, it comes from a man by the name of William Blackstone.

00:11:29.000 Now, William Blackstone kind of is the author of the common law.

00:11:35.000 William Blackstone is studied in any respectable law school or in legal circles.

00:11:42.000 He was heavily inspired by, of course, the Bible, and he was influenced by Montesquieu.

00:11:47.000 Montesquieu actually was a contemporary of his.

00:11:51.000 Montesquieu is a French judge that wrote a book called The Spirit of the Laws.

00:11:56.000 And he was also kind of, some would say, a commonly quoted person in the French Revolution.

00:12:01.000 Montesquieu and Rousseau were in some ways contemporaries.

00:12:06.000 And so what we have here is that William Blackstone believed that it is better for 10 guilty people to walk free than for one innocent person to suffer or to go to jail.

00:12:19.000 And so basically the standard was set that in order to take somebody of their life, liberty, or their property, in order to put somebody in jail or put them into prison, that the standard has to be with beyond a reasonable doubt, and that you start from a baseline of you are assumed to be innocent.

00:12:42.000 Now, that's an interesting thing because in the West, we also have this belief in original sin that does stem from the Bible.

00:12:50.000 And so there's this tension there.

00:12:52.000 But why is the presumption of innocence so critical?

00:12:57.000 Well, it actually is directly connected to our belief in limited government.

00:13:02.000 It's directly tied into why we believe that we should have checks and balances. 0.51

00:13:08.000 This is why in China, they do not have the presumption of innocence. 0.64

00:13:11.000 They have the presumption of guilt. 0.73

00:13:13.000 In China, you have to prove your innocence.

00:13:16.000 In America, you have to prove the guilt.

00:13:17.000 Now, why would that be different?

00:13:19.000 Well, in a statist model, in a country that has a heavy emphasis on government control and on central planning, it would make a lot of sense where if the government accuses you of something, how could the government ever be wrong?

00:13:33.000 But built into the tradition of Western law is that if you are accused of something, if you are said to be, you know, as Johnny Depp was, he slammed around the face or whatever terrible thing he was accused of.

00:13:48.000 The entire system, the structure of the United States Constitution ensures, in fact, it demands that the state, in order to deprive you of life, liberty, and property, they have to reach the standard that you start from the baseline of the presumption that you are presumed innocent, and then you have to be able to prove the guilt.

00:14:09.000 And so, since we don't generally trust centralized government, and we believe that power can be abused, and we believe in the saying of Lord Acton that absolute power corrupts absolutely, that is all built into the Western legal tradition.

00:14:23.000 And one of the kind of goals you could say of the Me Too movement was an attempt to try and disassemble and obliterate the Western legal tradition.

00:14:35.000 Now, they were trying to do this extra-legally, meaning they weren't necessarily doing it through the judicial system itself.

00:14:41.000 They were trying to create almost a new court.

00:14:44.000 And what the Me Too movement did is they created a new court, which was the court of the mob, the court of Hollywood, the court of media, which is, okay, Johnny Depp wasn't going to go to prison, but we're going to destroy his life altogether based on a singular accusation.

00:14:57.000 It's the Chinese model of legal theory, not the Western model.

00:15:02.000 What's so interesting is how quick the media and activists were to just basically cast aside the many-century tradition that has proven to keep people free and keep government checked and keep power in check by having this process where if you are going to destroy somebody's life, like Johnny Depp, you have to prove it without a reasonable doubt.

00:15:25.000 And none of that was followed when it came to this.

00:15:27.000 It wasn't followed with Brett Kavanaugh, it wasn't followed with any of these people that are falsely accused.

00:15:33.000 But this all of a sudden is a repudiation of that trajectory.

00:15:37.000 It is a rejection of what we have been seeing over the last couple of years where people are deprived of their career, of their connections.

00:15:48.000 They're deprived of their wealth, all because of a singular accusation.

00:15:53.000 But if you believe in limited government and checks and balances, then you necessarily must believe in the presumption of innocence.

00:16:00.000 Innocent until proven guilty, a people cannot remain free if you do not have that tradition.

00:16:09.000 A war is being waged on reality, everybody, and the left is leading the charge.

00:16:13.000 Their radical gender ideology has seeped into children's classrooms, into medical terminology, and into our everyday life. 0.99

00:16:18.000 It's producing a generation of psychological infants and confused young people. 0.54

00:16:21.000 Not only that, but this radical ideology is trying to erase the people who brought us all into the world, women. 0.90

00:16:26.000 Now, Matt Walsh of the Great Daily Wire is taking matters into his own hands.

00:16:31.000 He recently embarked on a journey around the world to ask one simple question: What is a woman?

00:16:35.000 And you'd be surprised not only how few are capable of answering, but also how many have a completely twisted idea of what a woman is. 0.86

00:16:41.000 Thankfully, he got his whole experience on film.

00:16:43.000 The documentary, they don't want you to see what is a woman. 1.00

00:16:45.000 You can check it out today at dailywire.com/slash Charlie. 0.83

00:16:48.000 Radical gender ideology has a not-so-secret agenda, and this film exposes it all.

00:16:52.000 Check out what is a woman at dailywire.com/slash Charlie. 1.00

00:16:56.000 That is dailywire.com/slash Charlie.

00:17:02.000 Okay, let's get to inflation here.

00:17:04.000 Inflation is the number one issue that is facing Americans today.

00:17:08.000 By far, I was getting an IV at my friend's Prana IV Therapy in Phoenix, Arizona, a phenomenal company.

00:17:17.000 And I was just catching up with some of the guys there, and I asked them, I said, What's the biggest issue facing you?

00:17:22.000 And they said, The cost of living is out of control.

00:17:24.000 In fact, it's so bad is that my sense it's creating a spirit and a sense of cynicism amongst the working class, where people feel as if the harder they're working, the more they're falling behind.

00:17:36.000 Where, and it was said a little bit jokingly and kiddingly, but some of the folks that were working there said, Why am I even working at all?

00:17:42.000 Why don't I just go on government assistance?

00:17:44.000 Like, why am I spending all my time just to get poor every single month?

00:17:49.000 I want to just zero in on that kind of complaint.

00:17:52.000 Where if you have working people that believe the more input they put into a society or the input they put into their life, that they're actually falling behind, not above, then you actually no longer live in a meritocracy.

00:18:05.000 One of the dangers of inflation is that it destroys the promise that if you work hard and play by the rules, you're going to have some sort of reward and benefit on the other side.

00:18:15.000 And so, there's a moral case for a meritocracy because it actually de-radicalizes people.

00:18:22.000 People are less likely to commit crimes, they're less likely to loot and steal and murder.

00:18:27.000 They're less likely to cheat if they believe that if they apply themselves in a lawful way, and tomorrow they're going to get something in return.

00:18:35.000 What inflation does is inflation robs you of delayed gratification.

00:18:41.000 Inflation actually incentivizes instant gratification.

00:18:45.000 I'll prove it to you.

00:18:46.000 You see, the West was built on delayed gratification.

00:18:49.000 Now, this is not a concept that most countries understand, by the way.

00:18:53.000 It's not a concept that most people understand.

00:18:55.000 If you want to know the great divide between people that are kind of perpetually poor, generation after generation, and people that are wealthier or rich, and I understand you could win the genetic lottery, I understand that you might have a trust fund.

00:19:09.000 I get all of that.

00:19:10.000 But as a general rule, people that are wealthier and richer believe in the principle of delayed gratification, and people that stay poor generation after generation do not believe in delayed gratification.

00:19:23.000 What is delayed gratification?

00:19:24.000 It's that I'm going to do something today that doesn't necessarily feel good in the immediate because what's going to come in the future is going to be worth it for myself or my children or my family, future generations.

00:19:33.000 That I might, I'm going to wake up earlier.

00:19:36.000 I'm going to apply myself more.

00:19:37.000 I'm not going to drink till 2 a.m.

00:19:39.000 I'm not going to play video games till 4 a.m.

00:19:41.000 I'm going to delay the gratification in the immediate because what comes in the future is well worth it.

00:19:46.000 The West was built on this.

00:19:48.000 Most other countries don't understand this concept.

00:19:50.000 In fact, countries that stay perpetually poor, especially if you look at subsistence farming, and it's not for any sort of negative accusation towards it, but it's you eat what you have, you do it immediately, you kind of stay where you are.

00:20:05.000 The idea that you're going to plan for the future, which is beyond you, is something that inflation by a necessity obliterates.

00:20:13.000 Why?

00:20:14.000 Well, if you think your dollar is going to be diminishing in value in 60 days, then you just might as well spend the dollar right now.

00:20:21.000 Inflation destroys the incentive to save.

00:20:24.000 Inflation says you might as well spend all your money now because who knows what that dollar is going to be worth in December.

00:20:29.000 It subsidizes very bad economic decisions.

00:20:32.000 And with it, it also creates political cynicism and creates almost kind of a rupture in the kind of political ecosystem.

00:20:42.000 So it's bad on every front.

00:20:44.000 Cut 21, CNN on the new low for consumer confidence and the continuation of massive inflation, play CUP 21.

00:20:51.000 The high cost of living continues to cast a shadow over this economy.

00:20:54.000 New numbers out today show that consumer confidence fell in May.

00:20:59.000 Didn't fall as much as feared, but it's still well below pre-COVID levels.

00:21:03.000 And one in four consumers, they expect economic conditions to get worse.

00:21:07.000 I think this is really about three things: gas, food, and housing.

00:21:11.000 For many families, these are the three most expensive items of their monthly budget.

00:21:16.000 All three continue to get more expensive.

00:21:18.000 Now, even CNN is admitting the low consumer confidence and massive inflation.

00:21:24.000 This is going to create externalities, the likes of which we have not lived through in quite some time.

00:21:29.000 Now, mind you, to be able to live through inflation when you have mass technology is quite an amazing accomplishment.

00:21:36.000 Now, what do I mean by that?

00:21:37.000 Well, when you have technology, it is a hedge against inflation.

00:21:41.000 So the fact that we're experiencing inflation while we have widespread technology is an extraordinary thing.

00:21:47.000 So you think about it.

00:21:49.000 Why would technology help against inflation?

00:21:51.000 Well, you could find lower prices immediately.

00:21:54.000 Price line negotiate.

00:21:55.000 Like that's the whole point, right?

00:21:56.000 Is that you could compete for better prices.

00:21:58.000 So the reason why 1970s inflation and 80s inflation was kind of almost intractable is you didn't have the internet to be like, actually, that's cheaper than that.

00:22:07.000 Like that flight is cheaper than that one.

00:22:08.000 The ability to compete or to be able to communicate in the price system becomes easier when you have widespread technology.

00:22:14.000 At least that's been always the promise of the technocrats, right?

00:22:17.000 The promise of the technology people is that, okay, you have Amazon, you have online shopping, you have communication, you have eBay.

00:22:27.000 So people are going to be able to communicate quicker and communication brings competition, which brings down the price of goods.

00:22:32.000 The fact that we have inflation while we have widespread communication and technology is a really bad sign.

00:22:39.000 It's bad economically.

00:22:40.000 That means that people are able to have the most amount of information and communication at their disposal to be able to find every single lower price imaginable.

00:22:47.000 And they still have prices going up.

00:22:49.000 So what is the cause and the driver of inflation?

00:22:51.000 Very simple.

00:22:52.000 And this is one of my complaints against the Republican Party is that I believe Biden is largely to blame for inflation, but so are Republicans.

00:23:02.000 Look, I'm one of the few shows that is not going to be like, it's called Bidenflation. 0.97

00:23:05.000 Like, actually, it was every single Republican that voted for that stupid stimulus bill that never should have been passed in the first place. 0.99

00:23:11.000 We locked down our country. 0.99

00:23:13.000 I think there was like one Republican that abstained, maybe Rand Paul.

00:23:17.000 Every one of those stimulus bills was unnecessary, every single one.

00:23:20.000 The stimulus should have been reopening America immediately in April and allowing treatments to be widespread.

00:23:26.000 Instead, we created a massive amount of dollars out of thin air, injected into our economy, and we are now living through hyperinflation.

00:23:34.000 And so, yes, Biden is to blame.

00:23:35.000 He's only made it worse.

00:23:37.000 How has Biden made it worse?

00:23:38.000 Largely because his anti-energy policies, canceling Keystone XL pipeline, not allowing for the proliferation or the exploration of energy.

00:23:46.000 Course, Biden is to blame for part of it.

00:23:48.000 When will Republicans step up and start to own their part in creating inflation?

00:23:53.000 The $1.9 trillion Rescue America, the amount, I think Republicans voted for at least $4 to $5 trillion in stimulus packages, right?

00:24:01.000 The first one was like $1.8, and then there was a trillion and all this.

00:24:06.000 Yeah, Biden is to blame, but big government Republicans were part of all this as well.

00:24:10.000 Big government Republicans have said, like, well, you know, the economy's locked down and people need help.

00:24:15.000 The best way to help people would have been to get government out of the way and not lock people down, not put masks on children, not mandate vaccines, and get us back to the normal, booming market economy where actually blue-collar workers were booming prior to these lockdowns.

00:24:32.000 And so it's been big government politicians in both political parties.

00:24:35.000 I put the most amount of blame, obviously, on Joe Biden.

00:24:39.000 He's just made it totally worse.

00:24:41.000 And by the way, Joe Biden also made it worse by fear-mongering and keeping kind of quasi-lockdown policies in place as well.

00:24:49.000 And so we had the CARES Act, $2.2 trillion that was passed by Republicans, remember this, in March 27, 2020.

00:24:57.000 And then we had the Paycheck Protection Health Care Enhancement Act in April, another $483 billion.

00:25:03.000 And then we had the Consolidated Appropriations Act, another trillion dollars.

00:25:07.000 So just off the top, that's $2.7 trillion, $3.7 trillion.

00:25:12.000 Then the American Rescue Plan that was basically passed on partisan lines, which was Joe Biden that put that forward.

00:25:19.000 Altogether, that's 1.9 plus, that's 2.9, then that's 2.3, and then that's 5.5.

00:25:25.000 That's $5.7 trillion that were passed in Washington, D.C. in the last couple years.

00:25:32.000 3.8 of it was approved by Republicans.

00:25:35.000 And that's on top of the federal budget that was already happening.

00:25:38.000 That's on top of the federal appropriations that were already happening.

00:25:42.000 So why am I going hard after Republicans right now as we're heading towards a midterm election?

00:25:46.000 It's because you got to be honest about who actually bears responsibility for this.

00:25:50.000 Biden is the president.

00:25:51.000 Biden's been pushing these big government policies.

00:25:53.000 Biden's war on energy and gas, Biden's supply chain crisis.

00:25:57.000 I think all of that is fair, appropriate.

00:25:59.000 You should own that.

00:26:00.000 But Republicans cannot get a free pass because they were the ones that were pushing forward these big inflation policies while we were one of the only programs warning people this is going to be a disaster.

00:26:12.000 We're the only one.

00:26:13.000 Even all these other ardent libertarians were like, oh, well, maybe there's no place for that.

00:26:17.000 The graft, the waste was a disaster.

00:26:21.000 The country's in a worse place because of it.

00:26:23.000 We were laughed at, scoffed at.

00:26:25.000 We were mocked by saying inflation was coming.

00:26:28.000 You know, now people can't afford basic groceries and goods.

00:28:32.000 Check it out.

00:28:37.000 So Janet Yellen, who is a fool. 1.00

00:28:40.000 So she said earlier this year that there's a small risk of inflation and that it's manageable. 0.99

00:28:44.000 I mean, these people have no business running our country.

00:28:48.000 Now, I think it's intentional.

00:28:50.000 I'll be very honest.

00:28:51.000 I think inflation is a strategy to break the dollar to help usher in the great reset.

00:28:55.000 I refuse to believe.

00:28:57.000 You see, the expression is usually, and this is where kind of the normy, moderate, really boring Republicans that are in the media, they say, you know, I refuse to categorize what could be called malevolence when really it's incompetence.

00:29:13.000 How many times have you heard that line?

00:29:14.000 They said, look, I don't want to try to chalk up bad intentions when just simple incompetency very well might explain it.

00:29:22.000 I see it the exact opposite.

00:29:25.000 I think they are totally wrong.

00:29:28.000 Instead, I refuse to believe that these people are as incompetent as they want us to believe.

00:29:35.000 I think they're malevolent.

00:29:38.000 I think this is an intentional transformation destruction that we're living through.

00:29:41.000 This is an intentional unwinding.

00:29:45.000 You can't be wrong about masks around vaccines, the border, foreign wars, international trade, inflation, economic policy.

00:29:55.000 What if they're actually not wrong about all of it?

00:29:58.000 What if they're doing exactly what they want to do?

00:30:01.000 You see, we have to, I think, liberate ourselves from the false paradigm that somehow we're living under kind of the tyranny of incompetent people. 1.00

00:30:11.000 Trust me, there's plenty of stupid people. 1.00

00:30:13.000 That Jean-Pierre girl that is the press secretary, she's way less intelligent than Jen Saki. 1.00

00:30:21.000 She's not a smart person.

00:30:23.000 She isn't. 0.72

00:30:24.000 I mean, she can't even spin like very simple things. 0.77

00:30:27.000 And it's, I mean, she might be a nice person.

00:30:30.000 I don't know. 0.99

00:30:31.000 But I refuse to believe Janet Yellen's dumb. 0.99

00:30:36.000 I don't know. 0.99

00:30:37.000 I go back and forth on it. 0.98

00:30:38.000 I think I called her dumb like three minutes ago. 0.89

00:30:40.000 All right, play cut 59. 0.96

00:30:42.000 Is there a risk of inflation?

00:30:45.000 I think there's a small risk, and I think it's manageable.

00:30:50.000 I don't anticipate that inflation is going to be a problem, but it is something that we're watching very carefully.

00:30:58.000 So now she says, oh, just by the way, I was wrong about the path of inflation.

00:31:03.000 What do they do all day long?

00:31:05.000 Like, what is Janet Yellen's job?

00:31:08.000 Like, your one job is to make sure that the economy doesn't overheat with too many dollar bills.

00:31:13.000 And you thought by creating 60 to 70 to 80 percent of all dollar bills ever created in a span of two years, we weren't going to live through hyperinflation?

00:31:20.000 Play cut 24.

00:31:22.000 I think I was wrong then about the path that inflation would take.

00:31:29.000 As I mentioned, there have been unanticipated and large shocks to the economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply bottlenecks that have affected our economy badly that I didn't at the time didn't fully understand.

00:31:49.000 Yeah, at the time, I didn't fully understand.

00:31:51.000 I don't buy it.

00:31:52.000 I think you are simply a puppet for Klaus Schwab and for Bill Gates and the World Economic Forum.

00:31:58.000 I don't believe it.

00:32:00.000 I don't want us to all of a sudden have this impression that we're living under a mistake.

00:32:06.000 I don't think we're living in a mistake.

00:32:08.000 I think we're living in their created simulation.

00:32:12.000 World Economic Forum speaker Cut57 from Davos, he said the hurricane of inflation is coming.

00:32:18.000 It's just a matter of how big.

00:32:20.000 You created that hurricane.

00:32:22.000 Oh, is this Jamie Dimon?

00:32:25.000 He'll be just fine.

00:32:26.000 Play Cut 57.

00:32:28.000 Everyone thinks the Fed can handle this.

00:32:30.000 That hurricane is right out there down the road coming our way.

00:32:34.000 We just don't know if it's a minor one or Superstorm Sandy.

00:32:39.000 This is not hard.

00:32:40.000 These people are paid to do this, and they completely messed this up.

00:32:45.000 Now, I don't think they messed it up unintentionally.

00:32:47.000 I think there's a group of people that want the deterioration of the dollar.

00:32:53.000 I think they want the breaking of the currency as we see fit.

00:32:56.000 And it's just very troubling.

00:32:58.000 It really is.

00:33:00.000 So what are we supposed to do about it?

00:33:02.000 Well, there's not much you can do about it except own hard assets and hope we can survive through it.

00:33:09.000 Thank you so much for listening, everybody.
