00:00:55.000 Here we go.
00:00:56.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:58.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:00.000 I want you to know we are lucky.
00:01:02.000 To have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:04.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:07.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:08.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:09.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:17.000 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.
00:01:26.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:30.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTod.com.
00:01:40.000 Let's start here with an unusual story that caught my attention.
00:01:44.000 And by the way, our Ask Me Anything episodes, we usually dive into third or fourth rail topics.
00:01:50.000 For example, one of the topics that we covered last week is why does classical music bother criminals so much?
00:01:58.000 This is an interesting one.
00:02:00.000 Charlie, do you see the recent news that the International Chess Foundation has barred men who think they are women from competing?
00:02:09.000 In women only chess tournaments.
00:02:10.000 Okay, the International Chess Federation, not foundation. 0.99
00:02:13.000 In women only chess tournaments. 0.94
00:02:15.000 What is behind that?
00:02:16.000 Colton from Grand Island, Nebraska.
00:02:19.000 Well, let's pause for a second.
00:02:21.000 When you think of men competing in female activities, you think of Thomas.
00:02:27.000 You think of the weightlifting.
00:02:29.000 By the way, do we have a clip of the weightlifting in Canada?
00:02:32.000 That's usually what you think of as cheating.
00:02:35.000 And we shouldn't put up with that. 0.98
00:02:36.000 We shouldn't put up with pervy, neurotic men.
00:02:40.000 Who think they are women, think they are females, being able to destroy female sports, the disintegration of biological standards, the deterioration of truth, the idea that men and women are exactly the same. 0.78
00:02:54.000 And that's really what is at the root here.
00:02:58.000 So last week, there was some huge news, actually just a couple days ago, there was some huge news about in Canada of a man who thinks he was a woman, and Andres entered the women's division and crushed all the women in weightlifting.
00:03:13.000 Now that's obvious.
00:03:15.000 Let's play Cut 119. 1.00
00:03:18.000 Why is women's bench so bad? 1.00
00:03:22.000 I mean, not compared to me.
00:03:24.000 We all know that I'm a tranny freak, so that doesn't count.
00:03:28.000 And no, we're not talking about Mackenzie Lee. 1.00
00:03:29.000 She's got little T Rex arms and she's like 400 pounds of chest muscle, apparently. 1.00
00:03:36.000 I mean, standard bench in powerlifting competition for women.
00:03:41.000 I literally don't understand why it's so bad.
00:03:45.000 I think what they mean by so bad is that there's no competition.
00:03:48.000 Maybe because men and women are fundamentally different.
00:03:50.000 This is something they resist on college campuses.
00:03:53.000 If you go to a university, they'll tell you that men and women are absolutely the same.
00:03:58.000 That is the new orthodoxy, the zeitgeist.
00:04:02.000 And so this person just crushes them in the competition.
00:04:05.000 Just crushes. 0.62
00:04:07.000 Anne Andre.
00:04:07.000 So that is something that is easy to talk about with your friends in suburban America.
00:04:14.000 Hey, men shouldn't compete in female sports.
00:04:18.000 And even that is kind of hotly contested because you have people, what's her name? 1.00
00:04:23.000 Yeah, Rapino.
00:04:24.000 Or Rapino says, oh, it doesn't happen. 0.75
00:04:26.000 She's just a gass. 1.00
00:04:27.000 Lighting liar. 0.99
00:04:29.000 Riley Gaines, to her great credit, has been speaking out forcefully in all this.
00:04:34.000 But what is less obvious and what gets down to the fundamental core of it is the question are men and women exactly the same?
00:04:45.000 Anyone who breathes, it is as the founders would say in the Declaration, I have the Constitution here, but they would say in the Declaration, we hold these truths to be self evident.
00:04:56.000 What do they mean by that?
00:04:57.000 Anyone can figure this out.
00:04:59.000 If you have reason and you're not incapacitated, you're not in a coma or mentally damaged, you could figure it out. 0.99
00:05:07.000 You know that men and women are different.
00:05:10.000 But how are we different?
00:05:13.000 Well, of course, we have different bodies, bone density, testosterone, estrogen, muscle mass, all those things, of course, are obvious.
00:05:22.000 But it goes deeper than that, doesn't it?
00:05:24.000 Oh, obvious. 0.96
00:05:25.000 I mean, women are much more emotional, women are more likely to engage in feeling based types of conversations.
00:05:31.000 But this story here is so fascinating.
00:05:35.000 That the International Chess Federation says men are no longer allowed to compete against women.
00:05:44.000 So, men and women are separate in chess competitions.
00:05:49.000 There's no physical component to chess.
00:05:51.000 You could literally be in a wheelchair, you could be paralyzed and compete in chess.
00:05:59.000 There is no physical component.
00:06:00.000 It's not like weightlifting, it's not like basketball.
00:06:04.000 Chess is a mind game.
00:06:07.000 Chess is about strategy, about planning, moves, and counter moves. 0.99
00:06:12.000 If men and women were exactly the same, why does the International Chess Federation have to come in and say that we must not allow quote unquote trans women, fake women, men to compete? 0.95
00:06:26.000 Well, now we're finally getting to the truth that we all know men and women's brains are different. 0.87
00:06:34.000 By the way, these differences we should celebrate. 1.00
00:06:36.000 This is not some sort of slight against women.
00:06:38.000 There are things that women do that we men do not do well at all.
00:06:41.000 We'll talk about that.
00:06:42.000 But what is chess?
00:06:44.000 Now, I'm not very good at chess.
00:06:46.000 I mean, I'm good if you just pick a random layman off the street, but Blake could probably beat me drunk and blindfolded, right?
00:06:53.000 I mean, it's just there's some people that are really, really good at chess.
00:06:58.000 That's not me.
00:06:59.000 But I'm above average in kind of the acceptable spectrum of chess.
00:07:03.000 I love chess.
00:07:05.000 And I think it's really good for young people to engage in chess for multiple reasons.
00:07:09.000 But chess is a micro of war.
00:07:13.000 Chess is about strategy. 0.99
00:07:16.000 If I were to say, what is the big difference between a man's or a woman's brain? 0.99
00:07:21.000 It's the difference between the micro and the macro. 1.00
00:07:24.000 So I will prove it to you.
00:07:27.000 Anytime I go to a Lincoln Reagan Day dinner or I go to any sort of political dinner, and I go to a lot of them, if I am sitting next to a man, he wants to talk about the weather.
00:07:39.000 Politics or sports.
00:07:41.000 Always.
00:07:43.000 And that's fine.
00:07:43.000 It's kind of exhausting for me, honestly, because that's what I do for my day job.
00:07:48.000 Dennis Prager was the one that actually originally pointed this out to me. 0.98
00:07:51.000 But if I sit next to a woman, they want to tell me about their kids.
00:07:55.000 They want to tell me about their relationships. 0.77
00:07:58.000 They want to tell me about conversations that they had.
00:08:00.000 They want to tell me about how they feel about things.
00:08:02.000 Honestly, it's way more interesting.
00:08:04.000 Recently, I was at a dinner, like, yeah, my daughter doesn't speak to me because she's a liberal, and my cousin said this.
00:08:10.000 And it was like really actually somewhat entertaining to dig into the different personal dynamics.
00:08:15.000 And then to my right was a man who was like, Well, do you think Trump's going to be the nominee?
00:08:21.000 I'm like, Bro, just listen to the podcast.
00:08:25.000 Come on.
00:08:26.000 Sweet guy.
00:08:27.000 Super macro, right?
00:08:28.000 The biggest of all questions.
00:08:30.000 And I'll prove it to you again.
00:08:32.000 I recently have signed up for a series of philosophy courses with the Claremont Institute.
00:08:41.000 We just finished a course on Kierkegaard, all about the tragic hero.
00:08:47.000 This invite for the philosophy course went out to tons of people all across politics.
00:08:52.000 I missed the first one and I went into the Zoom call for the class and I was fascinated.
00:09:00.000 There were 30 of us and every single one was a man.
00:09:05.000 Macro, philosophy, big questions.
00:09:11.000 What is existence?
00:09:12.000 Why are we here?
00:09:15.000 Our brains are different. 1.00
00:09:18.000 And this gets down, which I think is the ultimate red pill against the trans tyranny, the alphabet mafia, the rainbow jihadis. 1.00
00:09:26.000 If you massacre kids, even if you change their parts successfully, which will never happen, but even if you do, how are you going to change their brains? 0.99
00:09:36.000 We are wired differently.
00:09:37.000 We want different things.
00:09:40.000 I'm going to keep this up.
00:09:41.000 There's a lot of points I want to make here.
00:09:43.000 And now the evidence is clear men have a competitive advantage in chess, men think strategically better, they think macro better.
00:09:50.000 They obsess over the details better, and I'll tell you about that.
00:09:53.000 But don't take my word for it. 1.00
00:09:55.000 The International Chess Federation has now said that men and women's brains are different, which I think is a death blow against this trans insanity that we're living through. 1.00
00:10:05.000 All right, you've probably heard me. 1.00
00:10:09.000 It's actually now 25 pounds that I have lost.
00:10:13.000 And I'm sure some of you say, oh, Charlie, I've tried everything.
00:10:16.000 That was me.
00:10:17.000 You know, my first Zoom call with my PhD weight loss, I was kind of skeptical.
00:10:22.000 I was like, come on, guys.
00:10:23.000 All right.
00:10:24.000 I've heard this whole thing before.
00:10:27.000 And boy, was I wrong.
00:10:28.000 They know what they're doing.
00:10:29.000 My PhD weight loss.
00:10:31.000 Look, this is 100% legit.
00:10:33.000 And people say, well, Charlie, you've lost so much weight.
00:10:35.000 And I say, yeah, my PhD weight loss.
00:10:37.000 Hello.
00:10:38.000 But look, they have a different approach.
00:10:40.000 And it's Dr. Ashley Lucas.
00:10:42.000 She's great.
00:10:42.000 I text with her.
00:10:43.000 She does a really, really good job. 1.00
00:10:45.000 25 pounds, I'll tell you.
00:10:46.000 And I have more energy and I'm healthier than ever before.
00:10:51.000 Here's why the program rids your body.
00:10:54.000 of the inflammation that is causing so many health problems.
00:10:57.000 If you look around today, America is the fattest it has ever been.
00:11:01.000 Our families, friends, and neighbors are dying of diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer's, now called T3 diabetes.
00:11:10.000 PhD has helped so many people who want to have a good active life, play with their grandkids, travel, hike to a waterfall, go for a bike ride, but their weight was holding them hostage.
00:11:20.000 They don't want any of you on experimental drugs for your brain degeneration from Alzheimer's or homebound with an oxygen tank for heart failure.
00:11:27.000 My PhD in weight loss knows that losing weight is the best thing for overall health.
00:11:33.000 We are way too fat as a society.
00:11:35.000 And here's the thing if you're listening to this and you say, Boy, I'm a little overweight, it's perfectly fine.
00:11:40.000 Do something about it.
00:11:42.000 Use your free will, your agency.
00:11:44.000 Say, you know what?
00:11:45.000 I'm just not where I want to be.
00:11:46.000 This is an empowerment tool for you.
00:11:49.000 All of these things can be prevented.
00:11:52.000 You look at heart disease, what they now call diabetes.
00:11:55.000 By the way, there's a great new book by Dr. Peter Atiyah about longevity.
00:12:00.000 You want to live long?
00:12:01.000 Lose weight. 0.98
00:12:02.000 Look, Dr. Ashley Lucas, she is the master of this, and she is the genius behind my PhD weight loss.
00:12:10.000 So, you can call them today at 864 644 1900.
00:12:15.000 That is 864 644 1900.
00:12:18.000 By the way, this is not like a sign up and you're automatically going to lose weight.
00:12:21.000 You got to do some work.
00:12:22.000 You got to apply yourself.
00:12:23.000 It's not a too good to be true thing.
00:12:25.000 But if you have motivation, they will channel that motivation towards a very positive, measurable, and real outcome.
00:12:36.000 Find them online at myphdweightloss.com.
00:12:40.000 Tell them Charlie Kirk sent you.
00:12:42.000 That is myphdweightloss.com.
00:12:46.000 PhD weight loss and nutrition, physician and dietitian developed, individually delivered.
00:12:52.000 Again, I lost 25 pounds and I feel great.
00:12:54.000 If you think you've tried everything, you're wrong until you say you've tried my PhD weight loss.
00:12:59.000 They map you as a whole person.
00:13:02.000 It's not like, hey, just read this book.
00:13:03.000 No, no, no, no.
00:13:04.000 It's a deep dive, it's personalized, it's going to get results for you.
00:13:08.000 Myphdweightloss.com.
00:13:13.000 I'm going to stay on this story. 1.00
00:13:14.000 I'm telling you, this is the ultimate red pill on the trans issue.
00:13:17.000 The sports stuff is super important.
00:13:19.000 I'm not diminishing it.
00:13:20.000 I think you could see in real time these massive men that are just.
00:13:24.000 How much did they beat the bench press record by, by the way?
00:13:28.000 It was something ridiculous, like 150, 200 pounds or something.
00:13:32.000 It's just so.
00:13:33.000 500 pounds?
00:13:34.000 Are you kidding me?
00:13:36.000 500 pounds.
00:13:37.000 400 pounds over the competition across three lifts.
00:13:40.000 It's just beyond comprehension that we're putting up with this.
00:13:46.000 But chess, if you have a female sitting down to play chess and a male sitting down to play chess, it should be an equal playing field, right? 0.98
00:13:57.000 Why would we have sex separate competitive categories for chess?
00:14:04.000 Well, there's a lot of evidence that men are more extreme.
00:14:07.000 They're more likely to be deeply obsessed with something, and chess is a game that rewards obsession.
00:14:12.000 They're more competitive, too.
00:14:14.000 Men have more power to focus incredibly intensely on something, incredibly intensely on something.
00:14:19.000 And here's a fun fact.
00:14:20.000 In a chess tournament, competitors think so hard they can burn as many calories as an athlete playing a sport.
00:14:27.000 It's been proven time and time again.
00:14:29.000 The evidence is clear men have a competitive advantage in chess. 0.81
00:14:33.000 There are women only tournaments because if there weren't, women would almost never win major tournaments. 0.81
00:14:39.000 Not because anybody is stronger, anybody is bigger. 0.99
00:14:44.000 If you ever see a chess champion, a gust of wind will blow them over sometimes.
00:14:49.000 They're like 5'3 and 112 pounds.
00:14:52.000 It doesn't matter. 1.00
00:14:54.000 If you have a male brain versus a female brain in chess, you have a competitive advantage. 0.96
00:15:00.000 The data is clear.
00:15:02.000 It's not a patriarchy, it's not some systemic sexism.
00:15:07.000 Men spend hours and hours and hours memorizing hundreds of openings and moves and counter moves.
00:15:15.000 The first five, six moves of chess unfold like a book, and top players have them all memorized. 0.95
00:15:21.000 Chess is very similar, by the way, to why women do not get into coding. 1.00
00:15:26.000 Some do, but most do not. 0.99
00:15:28.000 Why women don't get into science, technology, engineering, and math. 1.00
00:15:32.000 Because, in some ways, chess is an algorithm. 1.00
00:15:34.000 This is why it's so hard to beat the best computers in chess.
00:15:38.000 It means eventually you can game out the first five moves, then the first 10 moves on top of it.
00:15:42.000 It becomes kind of a building formula.
00:15:45.000 And it's such intense brain power.
00:15:46.000 If you ever watch the top chess masters, how fast they move.
00:15:53.000 The Margin Frayer is nothing.
00:15:55.000 I'm going to connect all these dots together. 1.00
00:15:58.000 Women are notorious for still remembering the details of arguments that they had from years ago. 0.99
00:16:05.000 And Dennis, to his credit, has been doing male and female hour arguments.
00:16:09.000 For years, and now it just kind of is one of the most popular things you could do. 0.88
00:16:12.000 You could see this difference, by the way, in how trans people, male to female, have a sex fetish. 0.53
00:16:19.000 Their idea of women is really sexualized, reflecting how men think, while female to male trans people are fleeing from sexuality in many cases. 0.54
00:16:30.000 By the way, women tend to be more sensitive and compassionate.
00:16:34.000 If you were to say, Charlie, what is your ideal elementary school education teacher? 0.74
00:16:38.000 It takes remarkable patience and compassion.
00:16:42.000 Emotion.
00:16:43.000 It's a motherly type role. 1.00
00:16:46.000 And that's why 80 to 90% of all kindergarten, first, and second grade teachers are women. 1.00
00:16:51.000 And it should be that way. 0.90
00:16:53.000 That's a beautiful thing.
00:16:55.000 Let's know our differences.
00:16:57.000 Chess is like war, it's very similar. 1.00
00:17:02.000 This is why I've said that women should not be in frontline combat roles in the military. 1.00
00:17:06.000 And the media hates it when I say that, but it's true. 0.99
00:17:08.000 It's not to say that women don't have a role to play in trying to win the war. 1.00
00:17:13.000 Or win a war. 1.00
00:17:14.000 But this is so much of a deeper red pill than any normal sport can be.
00:17:19.000 Modern liberalism orders us to deny reality and pretend that women are just like men.
00:17:25.000 Or even weirder, it asks us to pretend that they are defective men, and they are not.
00:17:30.000 They are different from men.
00:17:34.000 Our differences are beautiful.
00:17:35.000 We should celebrate them.
00:17:37.000 We should not send women into the front lines of a conflict, nor should we send men into the front lines of educating.
00:17:47.000 Our preschoolers, let's understand our differences and the denial of them creates moral chaos, panic, and confusion.
00:17:56.000 And we should not send men into ruined women's spaces.
00:18:02.000 Our differences keep us free. 1.00
00:18:05.000 My favorite male female difference some college had a test. 1.00
00:18:10.000 They put some college boys and then college girls alone. 0.99
00:18:14.000 They could just stare out and think.
00:18:16.000 That's all they could do.
00:18:17.000 So they asked the males, what did you think about?
00:18:20.000 And they asked the females individually, what did you think about?
00:18:24.000 So the males, to no one's shock, thought about sex and sports.
00:18:30.000 What was revelatory to me was the female answer.
00:18:33.000 It was revelatory. 0.80
00:18:35.000 They reviewed conversations.
00:18:38.000 Just for the record, there isn't a man alive who has ever reviewed a conversation.
00:18:47.000 I always tell wives, When you ask your husband, what are you thinking?
00:18:57.000 And he says, nothing really.
00:19:01.000 He is not lying to you.

00:20:08.000 Let's get to another topic here.
00:20:10.000 Charlie, I've been reading about World War I recently to better understand why the 20th century unfolded as it did.
00:20:15.000 I'll be honest, I don't think America joining World War I was a good idea.
00:20:17.000 It got over 100,000 Americans killed, and we gained almost nothing from it.
00:20:21.000 20 years later, we had to fight World War II.
00:20:23.000 What do you think?
00:20:23.000 You know, there's an interesting quote from Winston Churchill, who was the greatest man of the 20th century.
00:20:29.000 He said, If the United States, quote, would have minded its own business, peace would have been made with Germany.
00:20:34.000 And there would have been no collapse in Russia leading to communism, no breakdown of government in Italy.
00:20:40.000 Followed by fascism and Nazism, never would have gained ascendancy in Germany.
00:20:45.000 You see, here's the issue with interventionist foreign policy it starts this cascade of interventions. 0.86
00:20:54.000 If any of you have ever been alongside of your wife or someone you care about who is pregnant and going through labor, it's well known in the medical field, cascade of interventions.
00:21:07.000 This is just one metaphor that we could use.
00:21:10.000 But if you do one thing, it could lead to another thing, which leads to another thing, which could lead to another thing, which leads to an ultimate.
00:21:14.000 Conclusion.
00:21:15.000 It's very similar in war and geopolitics.
00:21:19.000 So we get involved in World War I.
00:21:24.000 This is despite the fact that Woodrow Wilson, bad president, campaigned in 1916 to keep us out of war.
00:21:35.000 Woodrow Wilson made repeated proclamations and promises saying, We are not going to get involved in war.
00:21:47.000 He, of course, broke that promise.
00:21:51.000 You see, Woodrow Wilson had a plan.
00:21:54.000 Whether or not the modern historian is willing to admit it or acknowledge it is besides the point.
00:22:00.000 You see, this is actually it.
00:22:03.000 Wilson's reelection slogan had been engineered through the quote, He kept us out of war.
00:22:09.000 That was literally his reelection slogan in 1916.
00:22:14.000 He then completely reversed it when the propaganda was instituted.
00:22:19.000 Woodrow Wilson's dream was globalism.
00:22:21.000 It's a fact.
00:22:23.000 Who was the original World Economic Forum designer?
00:22:27.000 Who was the original guy that wanted to see the recreation of the city of Babel?
00:22:31.000 Who was the original guy who wanted to see the erosion of borders and the deterioration of sovereignty?
00:22:37.000 It was Woodrow Wilson.
00:22:40.000 Woodrow Wilson entered us into World War I.
00:22:44.000 And as soon as we entered into World War I, almost everything went haywire.
00:22:48.000 At the same time, While there was some justification potentially because German U boats fired on American ships, but then we lost 100,000 lives.
00:22:59.000 There's this amazing quote that I have here in this document, which is that World War I did not end with the Treaty of Versailles.
00:23:12.000 It was simply a suspension, a temporary suspension in hostilities, meaning the conflict was never actually resolved.
00:23:24.000 If you want a thought crime, this is a thought crime. 0.68
00:23:27.000 Would Nazi Germany ever existed if America would not have entered into World War I? 0.74
00:23:34.000 I'm not even challenging World War II. 0.84
00:23:36.000 That was a necessary conflict, unfortunately, for how many people died and the suffering. 0.77
00:23:43.000 But it was the morally right thing to do. 0.62
00:23:47.000 Russia might not have turned communist if America did not get involved in World War I. There might not have been Bolsheviks, and you might not have 20 million to 40 million dead Russians.
00:24:00.000 Now, you probably know about the Bolshevik Revolution.
00:24:05.000 But do you know about the Red Revolution?
00:24:08.000 The Red Revolution was a failed communist revolution of 1905, where the working class tried to take over the Tsars and they failed.
00:24:21.000 So there was no guarantee that Russia was going to go communist.
00:24:25.000 They thwarted an agrarian based communist revolution.
00:24:28.000 In fact, if you want to go even deeper, that the West was involved.
00:24:33.000 How involved, we do not know, but there are some documents that show that the West was involved.
00:24:37.000 In the release of Lenin from prison with a train of gold, that's a fact, going to Russia to spur on the Bolshevik Revolution.
00:24:49.000 Let me read Trotsky had an American passport.
00:24:54.000 On his way to go back to assist Lenin in the Russian Revolution, the Bolshevik Revolution, he was stopped in Canada.
00:25:02.000 Many people don't know this.
00:25:04.000 He was stopped in Canada and arrested and put in prison.
00:25:07.000 The Canadian government was worried.
00:25:09.000 That if Trotsky was able to go all the way back to Russia, it was going to be able to foment rage domestically in Russia.
00:25:19.000 The troops would then be able to be transferred to the Eastern Front, the Western Front, where they could then end up killing Canadians.
00:25:24.000 So Trotsky cooled his heels in a Canadian prison, quote, for five days.
00:25:30.000 And then something happened.
00:25:34.000 Americans called up the Canadian government and, in so many words, said, let Trotsky go.
00:25:39.000 And then, with an American passport, Trotsky went back to meet Lenin.
00:25:43.000 They joined up, and by November, through bribery, cunning, brutality, and deception, they were able to hire enough thugs, make deals, and take over the Russian government.
00:25:53.000 Now, there are many takeaways here, but one of them is this.
00:25:57.000 When you see a supposed grassroots movement, BLM is a perfect example of this.
00:26:02.000 When you see an alleged grassroots revolt, there's almost always a financier or an oligarch behind it.
00:26:12.000 If there actually ever is a legit grassroots movement, Then the oligarchs, the financiers, will interject themselves to try to purchase that movement and to control that movement.
00:26:24.000 I believe that America's entrance into World War I started this cascade of interventions of neoliberal, neoconservative thought that has led even to our involvement in Ukraine today.
00:26:39.000 Dare I say that American central planning to an overextent in the West has led.
00:26:46.000 To a domino theory of war after war after war.
00:26:51.000 You don't hear that very often.
00:26:54.000 World War II gets positioned as a moral war, and it is, and it was.
00:26:58.000 It's terrible, evil, inexplicable, and despicable what Nazi Germany was doing, and obviously Pearl Harbor. 0.77
00:27:06.000 But are we at all to blame for setting the table for the pressure cooker that led to World War II? 0.78
00:27:12.000 What's the point?
00:27:13.000 Why am I saying this?
00:27:15.000 For any of the neocons out there, be very careful acting as if you have thought out.
00:27:21.000 All of the different ramifications of getting involved in foreign wars.
00:27:29.000 You have to game this out, and you're not even able to exhaust all your options properly.
00:27:34.000 So that's our little, let's just say, entry into history today.
00:27:41.000 World War I, a brutal, terrible war, according to Winston Churchill, could have been resolved if America never entered. 0.65
00:27:52.000 Ask yourselves the question what are we involved in today, where 30, 40, 50, 80 years from now we'll say, boy, That could have been avoided if we did not finance the proxy war in Ukraine.
00:28:06.000 Let's get to an economic question.
00:28:08.000 Charlie, I hear from all of my Democrat low IQ friends that the economy is just great.
00:28:13.000 Can you help me out here?
00:28:15.000 I do not know how to properly respond.
00:28:17.000 Yeah, this is a new kind of Operation Mockingbird doublespeak talking point.
00:28:21.000 Have you noticed this?
00:28:22.000 All of a sudden, out of nowhere, with ultimate aggression and ferocity, the regime is telling you the economy is the best it's ever been.
00:28:30.000 Play Cut 58, please.
00:28:32.000 It's going to take persistence.
00:28:34.000 And this is what I say to my fellow Democrats in the Senate.
00:28:38.000 We got to keep at this week after week after week.
00:28:41.000 Every week a new thing happens.
00:28:43.000 And it will, by the year from now, people will know.
00:28:46.000 They will know the economy is strong.
00:28:48.000 You know, Joe, you mentioned the economy is strong, but it's often a lagging indicator.
00:28:52.000 People still remember six, eight months ago where things are at.
00:28:56.000 But by next summer, they won't.
00:28:57.000 They will see just the things that you have.
00:28:59.000 And the economy will be a strong suit for us.
00:29:03.000 Okay, let me be very clear.
00:29:05.000 I want Chuck U. Schumer to be right.
00:29:09.000 I am not one of those partisans that cheers for a bad economy.
00:29:13.000 I think that's one of the sickest things that I've seen in modern media.
00:29:18.000 Bill Maher and many others hoping and cheering for a recession, hoping and cheering for economic anxiety, which of course then comes with higher alcoholism, domestic abuse, suicide, all that stuff increases as the economy declines. 0.93
00:29:36.000 The economy is trash right now, unless you're rich. 0.77
00:29:39.000 If you're rich, you can navigate it. 0.96
00:29:42.000 You go talk to regular, everyday people, inflation is crushing people.
00:29:46.000 The price of living, the lack of being able to buy a home.
00:29:52.000 We now have 30 year mortgage rates have hit, I think, a 25 year high.
00:29:56.000 I think it's 25 years.
00:29:59.000 Consider the following 3.2%, which is core inflation in July, despite the Fed already sky high interest rate.
00:30:07.000 By the way, they lie about inflation, the inflation is way higher.
00:30:10.000 $33,300, the amount in real wealth the average middle class household has lost over the past year.
00:30:16.000 They have become $33,000 poorer.
00:30:18.000 $862 billion, the amount of personal savings held by Americans.
00:30:22.000 46% Americans who could cover an unexpected $400 bill.
00:30:28.000 67% of Biden voters who say the economy is worse than it was in 2020.
00:30:33.000 We have now passed $1 trillion in privately held credit card debt.
00:30:37.000 37% of Americans approve of Biden's handling of the economy.
00:30:43.000 I wish Chuck U. Schumer was right.
00:30:45.000 When it comes to the economy, it comes to people's livelihoods, I don't unnecessarily spin like, oh, it's actually bad when it's good.
00:30:51.000 If it was good, I would tell you it was good.
00:30:53.000 It's dangerously bad right now, on the verge of collapse.
00:30:58.000 And I'm not here to give investment advice, but here's my two cents the market is overpriced right now.
00:31:05.000 The market is overpriced.
00:31:08.000 The earnings to valuations, be careful.
00:31:11.000 That's all I'm going to say.
00:31:14.000 Play Cup 113, please.
00:31:16.000 Bobby Kennedy, Mike Pompeo in Vegas at dinner.
00:31:19.000 He said, You know, when I was at the CIA, I did not do what I should have done to fix that agency.
00:31:26.000 And then he turned to me and looked me dead in the eye and he said, The entire upper echelon of that agency is made up of individuals who do not believe in the democratic institutions of the United States of America.
00:31:39.000 That's a quote.
00:31:41.000 So, what Bobby Kennedy Jr. was recalling a conversation that he had with Mike Pompeo, where Mike Pompeo said, I didn't do enough to purge the CIA.
00:31:52.000 Bobby Kennedy Jr. has run for the.
00:31:54.000 I have to say this every time.
00:31:55.000 I'm disappointed in Bobby Kennedy Jr. in some things.
00:31:57.000 He did come to our Turning Point Action booth, by the way.
00:32:00.000 In Iowa, which is great.
00:32:01.000 Come on the show, Bobby.
00:32:02.000 I want to talk to you, man.
00:32:03.000 Calling Moms for Liberty a hate group, unacceptable. 1.00
00:32:06.000 I'm going to be the most gay president, pro gay president. 1.00
00:32:09.000 I'll be specific. 0.99
00:32:09.000 The most pro gay president ever. 0.99
00:32:11.000 Ridiculous. 1.00
00:32:12.000 I mean, come on, Bobby. 0.99
00:32:13.000 You're better than that.
00:32:13.000 However, his crusade against the administrative state, 10 out of 10.
00:32:17.000 So you got to be fair.
00:32:18.000 If nothing else, RFK Jr., talking about the question can the CIA overthrow a president?
00:32:24.000 And yes, of course they can.
00:32:26.000 One of the red pills that is happening just through rank and file talking to people is realizing this Constitution right now is not a complete document.
00:32:34.000 It's complete in its form, but it's not complete in its function.
00:32:37.000 What do I mean by that?
00:32:38.000 Meaning, this is not the law of the land currently.
00:32:40.000 There's a super government that exists over the Constitution right now.
00:32:44.000 There's a shadow government, there's a Leviathan that supersedes all our constitutional norms and practices.
00:32:51.000 Woodrow Wilson was the driver of this, the administrative state.
00:32:54.000 FDR helped put this forward.
00:32:58.000 John Dewey put this forward in an educational realm.
00:33:01.000 J. Edgar Hoover put this forward via the police state, the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
00:33:06.000 George Herbert Walker Bush, who was one of the first heads of the Central Intelligence Agency.
00:33:10.000 The CIA used to be called OSS and it switched to the CIA.
00:33:16.000 And all of this connects through a globalist neoliberal mindset because the internationalists, the bankers, the people could not help themselves to design this whole different system.
00:33:28.000 This is why people say, Charlie, what does Turning Point USA stand for?
00:33:32.000 We stand for the promise of the Declaration of the Constitution, period, hard stop.
00:33:37.000 We want this back.
00:33:39.000 We want this form back.
00:33:40.000 We want the structure back.
00:33:41.000 We want the consent to the governed.
00:33:42.000 We want checks and balances.
00:33:44.000 It's not even a question of whether or not there's a shadow government.
00:33:46.000 The question now has pivoted in the conservative movement how do we assail or restrain this shadow government?
00:33:55.000 Restrain is probably a better word.
00:33:56.000 How do we restrict their power?
00:33:59.000 Because there's nothing that stops them currently, there's a shadow government that calls the shots.
00:34:09.000 And Trump is such a unique figure because other politicians used to just step out of the way.
00:34:15.000 So let me give you an example.
00:34:17.000 The man from Yorba Linda, California, Richard Nixon, was elected in one of the most triumphant elections ever, 1972, I think it was.
00:34:26.000 Yes, 1972, against McGovern from South Dakota.
00:34:29.000 I think he won like every state, basically, 49 states and didn't win D.C. and Massachusetts.
00:34:35.000 I think it was D.C., Massachusetts, whatever.
00:34:37.000 Nixon was not as ballsy as Trump.
00:34:41.000 When Nixon was confronted with a deep state coup, he backed off and resigned.
00:34:47.000 Trump, to his great credit, he just doubles down and triples down and realizes the unfair attacks from the administrative state.
00:34:57.000 They tried it with Nixon.
00:34:58.000 Nixon was too popular, too many mandates.
00:35:00.000 He was getting rid of all this nonsense.
00:35:02.000 He wasn't a perfect president, but Nixon saw some big problems and he went about fixing them.
00:35:09.000 And Richard Nixon was removed.
00:35:12.000 They use the same playbook time and time again.
00:35:14.000 Nixon was a threat to the system and they took him out.
00:35:17.000 It's that simple.
00:35:18.000 Same way they took out JFK and they're trying to do it again to Donald J. Trump.
00:35:22.000 The administrative state is afraid of you, the people, having a voice. 0.78
00:35:26.000 They would rather have some sort of silly politician that does what the administrative state wants.
