00:00:47.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:32.000But what if we look back and we realize we were just inches away from victory and that's when we decided to give up.
00:01:38.000Join us and thousands of American patriots for the summer convention that all are invited.
00:01:46.000We're going to hear how we're going to win in 2024.
00:01:49.000With the biggest speakers in the movement, featuring President Donald J. Trump.
00:01:55.000We're going to fight and we're going to win.
00:01:57.000Charlie Kirk, the late Lamaswami, Governor Christy Noah, Dr. Ben Carson, Steve Bannon, Candace Owens, Laura Trump, Senator Rick Scott, Congressman Matt Gates, Benny Johnson, Jack Pisovic, and more.
00:02:19.000June 14th through 16th, 2024 is our final battle in Detroit, Michigan.
00:02:25.000The great silent majority is rising like never before.
00:03:15.000But once they did, he was convicted and he should have been.
00:03:19.000But Charlie, the interesting part is, I think he's got, and I'm not alone, I think he's got very viable appellate issues that could get this whole conviction thrown out.
00:03:31.000Yeah, so again, or Biden could just end up pardoning his son.
00:03:36.000Your thoughts, Kurt, though, on the unequal application of justice.
00:03:40.000Here I have the Marco Polo report, which is: if I were to read some of this on air, I would lose my radio license or show it.
00:03:49.000I mean, this makes Pornhub look like Coco Melon.
00:03:54.000Yeah, there, look, I'm getting very, very tired of the unequal justice here.
00:03:59.000If you go and destroy the statues of American heroes all the while screaming about murdering the Jews, nothing's going to happen to you.
00:04:09.000If you leave a skin mark on a pride flag that somebody decided to paint in the middle of the street, well, that's a felony.
00:04:18.000It is good that Hunter Biden was convicted because if you or I had lied on a gun form, you or I would be convicted.
00:04:28.000When we talk about retribution and revenge in terms of Donald Trump taking office, what we're really talking about is applying whatever the new norms are equally.
00:04:37.000And we are not talking about inventing crimes or making them up.
00:04:42.000What we're talking about is the new norms where you don't give a pass to political opponents because to prosecute them on something that's iffy, as opposed to very clear, like the Hunter Biden conviction, it hurts the system.
00:04:57.000Well, we decide we'd rather hurt our enemies even if it costs hurting the system.
00:05:24.000And so, and Kurt, you've said, and it's one of your best quotes, you said, listen, there's a gun on the table, and only one side gets the gun, the left or the right.
00:05:35.000Can you walk us through this metaphor?
00:05:38.000And it seems as if that some people on the right, they would rather lose honorably and give the metaphorical gun to the left.
00:05:45.000Look, the left is willing to use not only the power it has under the normal rules and norms, but any power it can take.
00:05:58.000And the problem is there are a lot of conservatives out there who would rather lose than win.
00:06:05.000We're not guaranteed victory if we fight back.
00:06:09.000We are guaranteed defeat if we do not.
00:06:12.000I'm under no moral obligation to become less free because of somebody else's principles, and I refuse to.
00:06:21.000I will be treated equally, and I will do whatever it takes to ensure that I am treated equally under the law and that my rights are preserved.
00:06:43.000We are not talking about inventing crimes or bearing false witness or being a corrupt judge, all things specifically called out in the Bible, by the way.
00:06:54.000We're not talking about doing any of that.
00:06:57.000We are talking about aggressively using the law, where in the past, we would have been more circumspect about it.
00:07:06.000And I think circumspection is often a good idea.
00:07:11.000But, you know, I was outvoted on that.
00:07:13.000They decided to create a new rule, and now they're going to get it good and hard because there is no way they will ever change back unless they suffer the consequences of their decisions.
00:07:26.000We are not obligated to lose because of principles.
00:07:29.000If you have a principle, Charlie, that makes you less free.
00:07:33.000I submit it's a bad principle and you should stop doing it.
00:07:36.000So, Kurt, it's important to remember they got Trump on a novel legal theory they've never used before.
00:07:42.000So, I just want, here's a couple of good questions to ask the relatives in your life, which is they say, how many was it?
00:07:50.00035 felonies, 47, what is it, 35 felonies, 47, whatever counts?
00:09:01.000And Jack Smith's doing the same thing with these ridiculous alleged crimes in D.C., Florida, and Atlanta.
00:09:08.000Fortunately, Judge Cannon in Florida is acting like a federal judge typically does, in my experience, which is, no, you're going to do it right and you're going to do it my way.
00:11:09.000On his way out, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law an extension of the statute of limitations because of COVID, the only state to do it.
00:11:19.000So now the statute of limitations in New York is six years and 47 days.
00:11:24.000Whereas if Cuomo would not have signed that bill into law, Alvin Bragg would have expired the statute of limitations.
00:11:31.000Even worse, he upgraded things from a misdemeanor to a felony to fit into Andrew Cuomo.
00:11:37.000So, and you know this, Kurt, it's almost always five years.
00:11:42.000That is federal, state, almost always, almost no exceptions.
00:11:45.000And they twisted just the statute issue so in such an unprecedented way.
00:11:54.000Before I tell you about a very special offer, I want to first explain why this product is absolutely worth it without the discount.

00:13:14.000Look, if you rewrite the rules to reopen cases that have gone dormant, that's, I mean, that's the real problem.
00:13:23.000But you know, Charlie, it's also a real opportunity because a lot of the statute limitations on the Russia gate stuff has faded.
00:13:31.000The statute of limitations on a lot of the COVID lies have lapsed on a lot of the lies to Congress that the Democrat witnesses and Democrat officials have given.
00:13:44.000I see huge opportunities here by revitalizing the statute of limitations on crimes that we select in order to get our political enemies.
00:14:34.000The kind of pseudo-suicidal behavior of the Republican Party.
00:14:40.000A lot of them put the institutions first.
00:14:43.000For instance, we saw Jeff Sessions go in and he put Trump's first Secretary General.
00:14:48.000He was a guy who grew up in the Department of Justice and he went in and his priority was the institution of the Department of Justice rather than its objective, the justice.
00:14:58.000Look, Charlie, it's hard to fight for what's right.
00:15:02.000It's easy to just go along and pretend that this system works, to default to the idea that everything is hunky-dory.
00:15:17.000We have institutions that have been inherited by cultural trust fund babies who didn't build them, didn't fight for them, don't care about them, and use them only for their personal gain instead of what the institutions are meant to be for.
00:15:31.000And it is bizarre that you have these Republicans who don't want to go and, you know, have justice done.
00:15:42.000Look, when did Republicans become opposed to punishment?
00:15:47.000I thought we were, you break the law, you go to jail, kind of folks, but you've got so many of these Republicans out there, Charlie, who want to give a pass to Democrats because OMA principles and the norms.
00:16:01.000When did we stop punishing wrongdoing?
00:16:05.000The Democrats have been doing criminal things, have been doing things that are wrong, and I think they need to be held accountable.
00:16:14.000When did that make me not a Republican?
00:16:17.000At the best reading, I think that there is this fear that if we start to enforce the law, we become the Soviet Union.
00:17:28.000Donald Trump had to be framed because he didn't break any law in any sense that we understand the law or any sense that the American experience understands law.
00:17:41.000But the Democrats, they're a bunch of corrupt criminals.
00:18:04.000We had last month saving babies with pre-born by providing ultrasounds.
00:18:08.000And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
00:18:10.000We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
00:18:15.000As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.
00:18:21.000Your gift to pre-born will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.
00:19:33.000So cryptocurrencies are built on technology that's considered or known as blockchain technology.
00:19:39.000The simplest way to think about it is this.
00:19:41.000You can timeshare your car, you can timeshare your home.
00:19:44.000Well, cryptocurrency allows you to timeshare your computer and then you receive a digital reward, a token, a currency that you can exchange for using your computer's processing power.
00:19:55.000It gets more complex as we move out, but that's the core idea.
00:19:59.000So there's been a lot of chatter about Bitcoin, Ripple, all sorts of different types of cryptocurrencies in recent years.
00:20:49.000So I think there's sort of an existential threat to the gateways of power for elites.
00:20:55.000And then more specifically, you don't charge fees for banks.
00:21:00.000You can send money all year long, even in Christmas with crypto.
00:21:04.000It's a better form of finance overall once they work out a few of the kinks since it's a new technology.
00:21:12.000And so it's just a threat across the board.
00:21:14.000Now, for the SEC, they have this kind of creeping authoritarianism where they're trying to control this with all sorts of regulation by enforcement.
00:21:25.000And I think the threat to Wall Street and the threat to banking drives the SEC to be very defensive on the democratic side.
00:21:36.000So again, I'm very pro-crypto because decentralized currency, I think, is incredibly empowering for tens of millions of Americans that are losing faith in the dollar.
00:21:46.000Bitcoin is now $66,000 per coin, which is unbelievable when you think about it.
00:21:54.000And it's directly, in my opinion, it is connected with people losing faith in traditional monetary systems, such as the US dollar or the Euro.
00:22:05.000And so their assets will then go to something they trust and there's only a finite supply.
00:22:10.000Explain to our audience, and then I want to get into the politics of it.
00:22:14.000Explain to our audience why Bitcoin, there's only so many Bitcoins by whomever designed Bitcoin.
00:22:21.000Was it Shitashi, Shatoshi or something?
00:22:29.000The way he designed it or she was it was by definition inflation proof because it becomes more energy intensive the more coins you try to mine.
00:23:14.000So the idea was that it would get harder and harder to mine the currency.
00:23:19.000And that would take more high-performance computing power and it would take more electricity.
00:23:23.000And this actually goes all the way back to Henry Ford talking about electricity being a form of currency in the, I think, the 20s.
00:23:31.000So the idea was that you would have high performance computing power and electricity used to secure the blockchain and protect this network that the currency moved through.
00:23:41.000So you have a built-in scarcity by design that also includes, by the way, with the mining of it.
00:23:48.000So you have to run this high performance computing power, and then you solve a block and you get a certain amount of coins.
00:23:55.000Well, that coin amount drops every four years.
00:23:58.000So what that means is there's a constant drive to innovate.
00:24:02.000That is to find more efficient electricity sources, to use less electricity to mine, and to develop more powerful computing.
00:24:11.000Capability, and what the Democrats have done is they've attacked high performance computing.
00:24:16.000They've attacked bitcoin, saying there's an environmental problem, but in reality, what's happening is bitcoin is working to solve these problems with these built-in pressures.
00:24:28.000What is Cbdc central bank digital currency?
00:24:32.000So a Cbdc is uh, essentially uh but, by the way, the same people who say bitcoin isn't money, Ethereum isn't money, say that a Cbdc is money yeah, which is kind of ironic, inherently contradictory.
00:24:46.000So yeah yeah um, I mean, are you ultimately uh?
00:24:52.000You know whether it's fiat uh, bitcoin or Cbdc, they're kind of faith-based currencies.
00:24:56.000At this point right, none of them are are trading against a gold reserve or anything like that.
00:25:01.000It's people's confidence in it, just as you, as you brought up, people are becoming discouraged in elite institutions and they're moving their money to other places, but a Cbdc is an official government currency and um, the concern on the kind of libertarian and civil rights side and, by the way, this should not be a bipartisan issue or, and Republicans as well as libertarians, of course um, but you can restrict it.
00:25:26.000So, for example, you would have these yeah, this digital coin in your wallet, just like you'd have money in your bank account but the government could say, uh, you know we don't like your search history, so we're going to restrict your ability to spend your own money in your wallet because you could program a CBDC to do that.
00:25:41.000Or we're going to freeze your account, or we're not going to let you spend it on certain things that we think are, as the Soviets call them, counter-revolutionary activities.
00:25:50.000So that's what makes them very, very troubling.
00:25:54.000And the even bigger sort of specter out on the horizon is BRICS.
00:25:58.000And BRICS is talking about creating some form of a basket currency, potentially a CBDC so that they can circumvent Swift.
00:26:07.000The BRICS countries are tired of U.S. hegemony in finance.
00:26:12.000They don't like what they saw with sanctions over the past, eight to 10 years.
00:26:18.000And this may actually be a way to skirt it.
00:26:20.000So ultimately, a CBDC is an official government currency, and there are a lot of civil rights risks associated with it.
00:26:27.000So when Donald Trump says he's against a CBDC, that is saying that he does not believe that the federal government should create a central bank digital currency.
00:26:40.000I'm certain that his chief crypto advisors explained to him the inherent risks.
00:26:45.000I mean, it's Operation Chokepoint from the Obama administration on steroids.
00:26:51.000So has Biden come out on stating his opinion on the central bank digital currency?
00:26:58.000You know, I think he's signaled that he's still interested in it.
00:27:03.000It's one of the few pieces of legislation that there wasn't like an immediate veto threat on.
00:27:09.000I'm sure they see the value of a currency that fits into the Biden administration's approach to having more centralized government, centralized control.
00:27:21.000Honestly, he's too busy defending SEC overregulation when a bipartisan bill goes up to him that he vetoes the staff accounting bullets in 21 for the SEC or threatening to veto the FIT21 Act, which finally gave rules to industry and promoted innovation.
00:27:37.000I mean, he's busy undoing or blocking all sorts of things.
00:27:41.000And I think that's his priority supporting the CBDC.
00:27:43.000So, can you talk about how many Americans care about the crypto issue?
00:27:50.000How many Americans own some form of cryptocurrency?
00:27:54.000A poll just came out that refined these numbers.
00:27:57.000So, basically, 19%, just slightly under one in five Americans, owns a cryptocurrency.
00:28:03.000What's particularly interesting about this is you are split between Republicans and Democrats.
00:28:09.000You have a significant number, overrepresentation of African Americans and Hispanics, and you have an overrepresentation of people with college degrees.
00:28:20.000And so, what I think is so fascinating about the Trump campaign strategy here is those are three areas that they wanted to do better in.
00:28:27.000So, when it comes down to the number of registered voters that own crypto, I saw an interesting stat.
00:28:33.000I think it was 11% of registered voters hold more than $1,000 in cryptocurrency.
00:28:40.000And that's more than enough to tip the balance in a given state in an election.
00:28:45.000And what is the age demographic of individuals that typically own cryptocurrency?
00:28:54.000It skews younger, which is kind of a fourth pillar that really strengthens the Trump campaign.
00:28:59.000So, when President Trump says he'll be the crypto president, that is in great contrast with what the big banks or what the government would want.
00:29:08.000And it's very, very good for the American economy.
00:29:13.000And actually, he's kind of opening up a new front, I think, in the next week or two.
00:29:16.000He's going to a big event and he's a crypto mining, Bitcoin mining event.
00:29:21.000And he's going to be having a, I think they're calling it a presidential Bitcoin mining roundtable.
00:29:26.000And this is really a problem for the Biden administration because they've been pushing talking points that mining Bitcoin is damaging the environment for about two years now.
00:29:35.000Of course, because this is the one thing.
00:29:39.000If you are pro-crypto, not only should you be pro-Trump for the crypto stuff, how are you going to be able to get the BTUs necessary to mine your coins?
00:29:49.000You think a bunch of solar and wind is going to get that?
00:29:53.000No, you need hydroelectric, you need nuclear, and most importantly, you need good old petroleum fossil fuels to power your ambitious goals to get the next Dogecoins.
00:30:06.000You might have heard Mike Lindell and MyPillow no longer have the support of their box stores or shopping channels the way they used to.
00:30:13.000They've been part of this cancel culture, so they want to pass the savings directly on to you by having a $25 extravaganza.
00:30:20.000When Mike started MyPillow, it was just a one-product company.
00:30:24.000With the help of his dedicated employees, they now have hundreds of products, and some of you may not even know about it.
00:30:30.000To get the word out, I want to invite my listeners to check out their $25 extravaganza.
00:30:34.000Two-pack multi-use MyPillows, just $25.
00:31:03.000Talk about how energy intensive creating a coin is and why the green agenda is inherently at odds with the needs to mine cryptocurrency effectively.
00:31:18.000And actually, there's a bright spot here.
00:31:21.000You know, you mentioned using fossil fuels and natural gas spun into electricity, burning the methane out of it is a huge opportunity for Bitcoin mining.
00:31:57.000The best way to explain it is that it's like the fizz that comes out after you open a can of Coke, meaning it just, it comes up naturally and there's no real use for it unless.
00:32:07.000unless you're trying to undermine crypto.
00:32:11.000So this, this is really interesting, even when we talk to oil and gas producers.
00:32:15.000So in the past, so to back up, right, high performance computing, Bitcoin, AI, uses a lot of electricity.
00:32:23.000Roughly the industry standard to produce a single Bitcoin, it takes about $20,000, sometimes more worth of electricity to produce a Bitcoin, assuming Bitcoin's around like 60,000.
00:32:37.000So what happens is the more people that mine, the more difficult it is to solve a block, right?
00:32:45.000And so the more the computers have to work.
00:32:49.000So it burns a lot of electricity, just like AI does.
00:32:53.000And there's been since about 2022, the Democrats have had these talking points attacking crypto, saying it's incredibly wasteful.
00:33:00.000The fact is, with Bitcoin in particular, it focuses on innovation.
00:33:07.000So the idea is to use less electricity, get better at high performance computing.
00:33:12.000And that's like the way NASA used to contribute technology, right?
00:33:16.000So you solve these problems like Formula One does, and then they work their way to other industries.
00:33:22.000So Bitcoin has that opportunity, which is why it's such a problem when they're attacking Bitcoin mining, because Bitcoin mining is high performance computing innovation in this country.
00:33:30.000And it's something that should have been tied to the CHIPS Act more closely.
00:33:33.000It can benefit from it, but it just speaks to this problem.
00:33:36.000But specifically, you take a trailer of about 40-foot trailer.
00:33:42.000You put 100 to 300 of these mining machines called ASICs in.
00:34:01.000And I think you're looking at about a megawatt to a megawatt and a half of power that's consumed by this 40-foot trailer.
00:34:09.000And that can be as much as a city of 50,000 people in a day.
00:34:12.000So it uses a lot of power, but there's a ton of waste energy lying around that we can take advantage of.
00:34:20.000And at the end of the day, it's promoting American innovation.
00:34:23.000So in closing here, Christopher, let's talk about just the brass politics.
00:34:26.000In your world of crypto, of people you know, have you seen individuals that were either Trump skeptic or Trump opposed that have moved to Trump sympathetic or Trump supportive because of his embrace of crypto?
00:34:39.000And it's a little anecdotal, but Twitter crypto or Twitter X is a pretty good place to get the barometer because a lot of the big influencers and movers and shakers in the industry like to comment there.
00:34:53.000And I was astounded after the verdict, the number of people that said, you know, that's it.
00:34:59.000And I think that's really, really significant for two reasons.
00:35:02.000One, you know, there was some reporting that just came out that they're struggling both campaigns on smaller donations.
00:35:08.000And so being able to unleash the power of the crypto community, both the high value donors and the average person, it's a whole new frontier.
00:35:18.000I think for the average crypto person, they've watched this regulation by enforcement from the SEC, arbitrary enforcement of rules, kind of a form of lawfare.
00:35:28.000And then they're seeing this lawfare against President Trump and they really empathize and they recognize it.
00:35:35.000And I think it has pushed a lot of people who maybe were on the sidelines and just said, I'm going to sit this one out.
00:35:43.000Definitely independents, some Democrats and Republicans that were maybe never Trumpers are definitely letergized by it.
