Join us as we discuss Gavin Newsom's announcement that California is already doing what they call "dodge, only better" Andrew Yang joins us live from the Bitcoin studio to talk about this and much more! Recorded in Los Angeles, CA!
00:00:16.000His 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.
00:00:25.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:38.000Yeah, he just, I mean, this is, you saw this with, I mean, Gavin Newsom puts his finger in the air and sees which way the wind's blowing and says, oh, I can get, I can get on that train.
00:01:50.000Pretty level-headed when you meet him in person, and he'll kind of come to your frequency, to your level.
00:01:56.000And so I think he just sees the way the political movement is going, and he wants to get out ahead of it.
00:02:01.000And of course he's not going to do that.
00:02:03.000You cannot do anything sensible in the state of California without being sued up left, right, and center, without having this commission get in the way of that, this committee get in the way of that.
00:02:14.000And by the way, nobody is flocking to Gavin Newsom's sides like they would Elon Musk with the brain.
00:02:23.000And again, people vote with their feet.
00:02:25.000People are leaving the state in record numbers.
00:02:26.000It's the highest housing prices, highest cost of living, most homelessness, and also the greatest wealth disparity of any state in the country.
00:02:35.000It is harder than ever for regular middle class people to get ahead here in the state.
00:02:39.000I don't know what they're going to doge in the state of California, but Gavin Newsom's done nothing but protect the special interest in California.
00:02:53.000Speaking of parasites, I was just wondering how do you feel about changing the word abortion back to its original name, termination of pregnancy?
00:03:02.000And how that will maybe pop some neurons on all these college campuses that you're going to leads to the next question, were you ever a pregnancy?
00:03:15.000Because the third-party insurance companies changed it to the benign word abortion so they could get more of them.
00:03:22.000They wiped out the word termination of pregnancy because I was a nurse before I was a doctor at that time, and they made us change it on the admission sheets.
00:03:30.000I haven't thought that deeply about it.
00:05:17.000And so how would you, saying that the United States is the best country, You know, it's actually interesting.
00:05:26.000Our education is way better if you take out a certain portion of the population, which is people without fathers, specifically in urban areas.
00:05:36.000Our education actually at the top level is really, really good.
00:05:39.000But look, I mean, you are diagnosing a serious problem, which is our public education system is a catastrophe, right?
00:05:49.000Our private education is the envy of the world and continues to be.
00:05:52.000We do private education better than almost anybody else on the planet, especially classical education and even more so Christian education.
00:06:00.000But the main reason why is government-run education so terrible?
00:06:05.000And there's a lot of factors into this, but...
00:06:08.000Public sector teacher unions, I believe, have done more damage to America than the Sinaola drug cartel.
00:06:14.000And I believe public sector teacher unions are the true cartel that are holding kids back in this country.
00:06:22.000This is why I'm really happy that Texas passed school choice and Arizona has school choice.
00:06:26.000We need full school choice so that parents can actually choose what school they want to send their kids to and not be locked into the local failing public school.
00:06:35.000I did a tweet the other day, and let's find that it was about school choice, where there were 30 schools in Illinois.
00:06:41.00030. In Chicago, where not a single kid can read at grade level or do math.
00:06:47.000Let me just tell you a very basic truism.
00:06:50.000Unless you are Michael Jordan, unless you are LeBron James, if you cannot read by fifth grade, you're probably going to jail.
00:06:59.000That's literally, I mean, go to jail or you're going to live just a very sad life.
00:07:04.000What happens is we have millions of people that are illiterate, literally illiterate.
00:08:10.000I will, I will, yeah, the Mississippi miracle, can you just, yeah.
00:08:13.000Yeah, it refers to the remarkable improvement in Mississippi student reading scores, particularly in fourth grade over a relatively short period of time.
00:08:21.000The state's reading scores, once among the lowest in the nation have, are now amongst the top.
00:09:12.000That means you are a very elevated audience, honestly, because when I say that to some places, they say, what the heck are you talking about?
00:09:18.000So phonics has been removed from our schools completely because of why?
00:10:00.000Not a single kid can do math at grade level and only 24 out of 80 of them can read at grade level.
00:10:06.000And so you ask yourself the question, why is it?
00:10:07.000Because we put up with failure and we fail these kids forward.
00:10:10.000And then finally, we're running out of time on here.
00:10:13.000I could talk about education all day long.
00:10:14.000School choice and we must crush the public sector teacher unions in a way.
00:10:18.000We must have an all-out blitzkrieg plan and understand that the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association are keeping kids back.
00:10:40.000I am a proud pro-American for digital Jewish American, and it is not...
00:10:44.000any of us, how you are truly on the front lines supporting Jews and Christians for our Judeo-Christian values.
00:10:52.000For Israel, we thank you every single day.
00:10:56.000My question is, we see how powerful TikTok has become and how you have used that platform.
00:11:02.000Unfortunately, myself and many other pro-America, pro-Israel creators continue to Where do we stand on the TikTok negotiations with the Trump administration and its ability to have better freedom of speech for its citizens?
00:12:09.000I reject that premise, and I know you probably agree with that.
00:12:12.000We need to engage in those public spaces.
00:12:13.000If I can help you, you know, get unbanned or uncensored, I'd be happy to help with that.
00:12:19.000But here is the major, like, one of the more fundamental issues when it comes with the fight and the debate for Israel is that it's very hard for those of us that are not Jewish to make the contention when most Jews do not care about Israel that much.
00:12:32.000When I actually have to debate Jews on Israel on campus.
00:13:07.000I know Andrew has a thought on this, but just one other element and contextualization on this that I want to make sure I add.
00:13:11.000What's very frustrating is that anti-Israel belief system is an outgrowth of the left-wing worldview because you think of everything through a preposterous Yeah, I just...
00:13:37.000I want to make one other point, and that's we have to avoid the temptation of clamping down on free speech or trying to censor or using left-wing tactics.
00:13:48.000You know, there was Ambassador Friedman who said that, you know, maybe we need to deport and jail people that were anti-Semitic.
00:13:55.000Those types of policies or that approach to dealing with the anti-Semitism problem will only create more anti-Semitism.
00:14:26.000Yeah, but again, so I don't think they should be here in the first place.
00:14:29.000But what happens then is our own Turning Point USA students say, wait, why are we deporting people for being critical of a foreign country?
00:14:36.000And then it plays into this idea that Israel is basically controlling foreign policy.
00:14:42.000Yeah, well, well, then again, so it creates this narrative.
00:14:46.000And then all of a sudden, again, I will say this, that from our own rank and file at Turning Point, and I've said this publicly, I'll say it again.
00:14:53.000They are not as pro-Israel as people would say because no one's making good arguments in favor of Israel, honestly.
00:14:58.000Some of the arguments are like, well, if you don't support Israel, you're anti-Semitic.
00:15:14.000He made some good arguments at times, but he started that podcast by shaming Joe Rogan, who's the most popular podcaster on the planet, for having...
00:15:23.000Like, voices that he didn't like and basically got no pleasantries in the podcast.
00:15:40.000And with people like Joe Rogan, if he could have a survivor of a hostage situation, if he could have someone who served in the IDF, just to bring more balance and nuance to the conversation, everyone would benefit.
00:16:25.000AI is suddenly everywhere, from self-driving cars to molecular medicine to business efficiency.
00:16:31.000If it's not in your industry yet, it's coming fast.
00:16:34.000But AI needs a lot of speed and computing power, so how do you compete with costs spiraling out of control?
00:16:40.000Time to upgrade to the next generation of the cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, or OCI.
00:16:44.000OCI is a blazing fast and secure platform for your infrastructure, database, application development, plus all your AI and machine learning workloads.
00:16:53.000OCI costs 50% less for compute and 80% less for networking, so you're saving a pile of money.
00:17:00.000Thousands of businesses have already upgraded to OCI, including Vodafone, Thomas Reuters, and Suno AI.
00:17:06.000Right now, Oracle is offering to cut your current cloud bill in half if you move to OCI.
00:17:11.000For new U.S. customers with minimal financial commitment, offer ends March 31st.
00:17:49.000So obviously being in Florida, I work in state politics a lot, and it's a little messy right now on the conservative side, unfortunately.
00:17:56.000You've got a lot of division between the governor and the legislature.
00:17:59.000You have division between Byron Donalds and Casey DeSantis.
00:18:02.000And, you know, it's a shame because when conservative states are able to be unified, they can do really incredible things.
00:18:09.000So what would be your advice, I guess, to kind of mend these gaps and these difficulties and really get us back out there?
00:18:17.000Because, I mean, if we're divided in 2026 and everything, It's a really important question.
00:18:25.000So here's where we get to the tough stuff, right?
00:18:28.000There are, and this is to the wonderful point previously that we had offline, there are major fissures happening on the right currently, more so than I think that people realize or recognize.
00:18:39.000Leadership can solve a lot of these issues.
00:18:41.000In Florida, the problem is you have Byron Donalds, who's likely to be the next governor of Florida, and I hope he is.
00:18:55.000If the Republican House majority and the Republican Senate majority does not deliver on a lot of Trump's agenda, we're going to have huge problems.
00:19:04.000We're going to have a drop-off of voters that think that they can support a certain candidate and then all of a sudden believe, actually, we're not going to get what we voted for.
00:19:14.000There will be a huge drop-off and fallout.
00:19:30.000Trump is carrying the entire country on his back right now, him and his team, and I don't feel that kind of urgency from Congress right now.
00:19:37.000Now, I want to try to give them a little bit of time.
00:19:40.000I know that there's only so much you could do.
00:19:42.000The number one way to get votes is to actually do what you ran on.
00:19:46.000If you tell your voters and show them, hey, you told me to do this and I did this, they will vote for you again, and then more people will vote for you.
00:19:53.000And so, in Congress right now, Number one, I'm afraid we're not going to get the spending cuts that we need.
00:19:59.000This is a major thing that we need to keep the pressure on.
00:20:01.000I don't know about you, I'm not okay borrowing trillions of dollars a year, and I think it's a major problem.
00:20:07.000Number two, obviously I think we're going to get the Trump tax cuts.
00:20:11.000But the third of which, and this is a really big problem, is are we going to get the funding for the border and for the deportation agents so that we can actually finish this job that President Trump was elected on?
00:20:20.000Holman's asking for $175 billion, just so everybody's clear, like the price tag on the – On the mass deportation.
00:20:27.000And doge cuts are hopefully going to help a little bit.
00:20:29.000But Republicans in Congress are just as addicted to spending as Democrats.
00:20:33.000So to your question more precisely, if leaders start to deliver on what they said they're going to do, a lot of this infighting will stop.
00:20:41.000If we fall significantly short of the promises we made, we're going to have some big problems in the Republican Party.
00:20:47.000I want to say something just because I think I can say it and maybe Charlie can't.
00:20:51.000You know, I'm actually a big fan of...
00:20:55.000Ron DeSantis, that might get me in trouble with some people.
00:23:04.000If you love learning, you can also just do all the free stuff that is available.
00:23:08.000But if you want to do it rigorously, here's the problem.
00:23:11.000You think you're going to go to college and be intellectually challenged?
00:23:14.000You might be, but towards absolute garbage, like post-modernism, deconstructionist, anti-Christian, anti-Western, which I'm okay with understanding what they believe, but three years of diving deep in that literature, that's bad for the soul.
00:23:29.000And so we live in a golden age of self-directed learning.
00:23:34.000And if you are a lifelong learner, you don't necessarily need to go to college to do that, but if you want to, make sure you choose a college that elevates good, true, and beautiful things.
00:23:44.000Okay, and the last question is, what are your thoughts on the current lawsuit with Harvard and the Trump administration?
00:23:49.000Well, I mean, first of all, I am glad that they're trying to defund Harvard.
00:23:52.000Why is Harvard getting billions of dollars a year when they're sitting on $55 billion themselves?
00:23:58.000I mean, not from their terrible Jew hatred to the previous question, to many of their other elements, it is terrible what they've actually embodied and done.
00:24:08.000Beyond that, though, the biggest critique of Harvard, the easiest way to disassemble it, is they are in direct violation of the Supreme Court decision against affirmative action.
00:24:27.000Because you're violating the 14th Amendment and violating the Supreme Court, which is the Students for Fair Admissions case, that says that you are actively discriminating against white and Asian students to accommodate black and Hispanic students based on the color of their skin.
00:24:40.000That is why we're not sending you money.
00:24:42.000And Harvard would collapse, because we have the goods on them.
00:24:45.000They were the test case, actually, in the Supreme Court case.
00:24:47.000So I love the fact that we are pushing against Harvard because we want a meritocracy.
00:24:51.000And honestly, Harvard, go fund yourself.
00:25:27.000A question is, is it possible for President Trump to do a written demand to the states to change and be consistent with specific guidelines for elections to maintain their flow of income from the United States government to the states?
00:25:45.000Yeah, so the question is about election integrity reform, right?
00:25:49.000So it needs to happen on a state-by-state basis.
00:25:53.000I'll be honest, Congress is not going to do this, unfortunately.
00:25:56.000Now, what President Trump can do, and what he is doing, is instructing certain U.S. attorneys to investigate widespread voting practices that are against federal law.
00:26:06.000The federal government has a lot of control over funds and can incentivize things, but, okay, he's not a dictator, despite what the left says, so he has to be very prudent and careful.
00:26:15.000Where is the biggest fight when it comes to election integrity?
00:26:18.000I've done a lot of thinking about this, and I've done a lot of work in this.
00:26:20.000There is one thing that requires more attention than anything else.
00:26:31.000So if we fail to clean up voter rolls, we fail to clean up who's on the voter rolls, then think about it.
00:26:37.000If you have voter rolls with a bunch of faulty moved or deceased voters, and they all get mail-in ballots, then you're creating the prerequisite for massive shenanigans and issues.
00:26:47.000So the problem needs to be cleaning up voter rolls.
00:26:50.000Tom Fitton is doing good work on this.
00:26:52.000What I would like to see, though, is the Department of Justice civilly suing these jurisdictions and these states to have them also clean up the voting rolls because you would have the whole power of the federal government.
00:27:02.000That's where I think the best thrust and energy is.
00:27:05.000We should make it a four-year goal to go after to clean up the voter rolls in Colorado, to clean up the voter rolls in Illinois, to clean up the voter rolls in New York and California.
00:27:16.000I don't want to hypothesize or speculate too much, but I think dirty voter rolls give Democrats maybe a one- to two-point advantage, potentially.
00:28:03.000We have to go back to signature verification, which one of the main reasons why President Trump was able to win Georgia by so much in 2016 was robust signature verification.
00:28:13.000One of the reasons why it's now this battleground state is we don't check signatures anymore.
00:28:55.000They mysteriously are able to do better.
00:28:57.000So I put forward five or six ideas here just right now, and I will say to President Trump's credit, he's not lost sight on this, and I think he wants to reform our elections for good, and God bless him for that.
00:29:11.000Andrew, can you talk about, and then we will get to all the questions in the overflow stream, the profound impact of Turning Point USA and how we've kept the energy going post-election?
00:29:22.000I think it's unparalleled in at least modern American political history, but probably throughout our entire history, that after an election, when we saw a movement like we saw in the fall semester and spring semester, by the way, that gets, you know, this movement really sparked in spring.
00:29:45.000Hundreds and hundreds of students just start singing the national anthem spontaneously.
00:29:49.000And Charlie and I looked at each other and were like, something is happening here.
00:29:52.000And so we decided, hey, if we keep the pressure on, who knows how far we can push this.
00:29:58.000And you saw this recently with the youth Yale poll that showed that the youngest voters in our country, 18 to 21, are not just like leaning, they're not just like...
00:30:30.000So what are you doing this Easter to celebrate with your family?
00:30:33.000Our good friends at Angel Studios, I love Angel Studios, remember Sound of Freedom, have an incredible movie coming out this Easter called The King of Kings, an animated story of the life of Jesus, featuring an all-star cast including Oscar Isaac, Pierce Brosnan, Uma Thurman, Forrest Whitaker, and more.

00:33:10.000I'm in some ways a beneficiary of that because our audience has only grown because a lot of 8-, 9-, and 10-year-old young boys now look at us as role models, which is amazing.
00:33:21.000But I don't, like, delight in the fact that I go to these shopping, wherever, shopping mall, grocery store, and it's hilarious.
00:33:28.000There might be a parent nearby, and the parent's like, who's that?
00:33:34.000And the 9-year-old's like, you have no idea.
00:33:36.000Again, so the best answer I have for that.
00:33:39.000Is that our digital dominance is paying dividends.
00:33:42.000And better them listening to Turning Point USA videos than listening to, I don't know, whatever propaganda that they're seeing on social media.
00:33:50.000But let's be honest, we have a much deeper structural problem if eight-year-olds are getting smartphones.
00:34:06.000They have seen wherever they take these out of classes, it's like in the teachers that have been teaching a while since about, there was a pivot point, an inflection point around 2012, 2013, when cell phones became much more common .
00:34:22.000I mean, there is no doubt in my mind that cell phones are a terrible, terrible thing for developing brains, especially smartphones.
00:34:38.000I would say there are things called dumb phones or basic phones.
00:34:41.000If you are worried about the security of your kids, if they're playing out in a park somewhere and you want them to have a way to get a hold of you, there are alternatives and everybody should be looking into those.
00:34:53.000But it gives you an ability to call them and keep tabs on them.
00:34:56.000So that's an alternative that you could do.
00:34:58.000But especially at a young age, I'm convinced with my own kids, I have a seven, a five, and a two-year-old, the less screen time, the better behaved they are, the less frantic they are.
00:35:08.000So we're like, this summer, we're doing a total detox in our family where we're getting rid of all of those.
00:35:52.000Their entire being shuts out, and they are mesmerized, almost hypnotized by the way that these cartoons are now constituted.
00:36:01.000Whether or not they're using AI to put it together or not, I don't know.
00:36:04.000But look, the rule that Matt Welsh has, that is one that we're adopting and that Andrew has as well, just one screen for the entire family.
00:36:44.000Yeah, because the feedback loop, you're comparing yourself to millions of people, you're feeling insecure.
00:36:51.000It has a lot of social issues attached.
00:36:53.000I think you should only allow very mature and self-confident, self-assured people to get on social media.
00:37:00.000I should 18. Yeah, I mean, there's different lines you could draw, but you have to have a sense of self and a security in yourself to get on social media and to use it in a healthy way.
00:37:09.000To go deeper, it's causing girls to develop puberty earlier.
00:37:13.000It's now 10, 11, 12, because they're getting signals of biological reproduction, so their body enters puberty earlier because they're exposed to hyper-sexualized content, which is not good for anybody, by the way.
00:37:23.000It creates all sorts of hormonal imbalances.
00:39:13.000Anyway, so our school has been heavily targeted, as you can imagine.
00:39:17.000My nickname on the Salon article is a white supremacist Christian nationalist, as you can see.
00:39:23.000And despite all of that, we have been thriving.
00:39:28.000My question to you is, do you see, with the truth of classical schools having the Judeo-Christian values and principles because of the history and the nature of classical education, do you see a future in America where classical schools, charter schools, could be a Christian school?
00:41:07.000And I will say, but you're always pointing them towards something true.
00:41:11.000You want them to go on a journey towards a destination.
00:41:15.000And so classical education is the best way to do what is the most important thing in education, which is not teach skills.
00:41:21.000We have way too much of a skill-based education system where we're like, well, we just want kids to go to school to learn how to do math and arithmetic.
00:41:35.000Then you send your kid to go to school to learn out what it means to be a good person and to develop good character and to be a good citizen.
00:41:41.000You don't just send them so they can make a better trinket.
00:41:44.000So what happened in the 1800s is the Prussians, the Germans, they had a complete revolutionary idea of what education is.
00:42:14.000A guy by the name of John Dewey, who was basically the most important education name in American history, brought this model to America, and it's been the case for 100 years.
00:42:23.000And questioning it is now very fashionable.
00:42:52.000You're here to pursue something meaningful, to elevate above yourself.
00:42:56.000The United States Supreme Court last week, or maybe it might have been earlier this week, heard a case from Oklahoma wondering whether or not taxpayer money can go towards religious charter schools.
00:43:06.000They were very sympathetic towards it, and this could be one of the most consequential victories ever for education.
00:43:13.000Thank you, President Trump, for giving us those Supreme Court justices, right?
00:43:16.000And again, that's from his first term.
00:44:17.000It's an interesting legal argument, too, by the way.
00:44:20.000So the school is saying that – or the state's AG, actually, Republican Attorney General is arguing that – It's a violation of the separation of church and state.
00:44:32.000Meanwhile, the lawyers for the school, St. Isidore of Seville Catholic Virtual School, insist that it's a privately created controlled and that to exclude it from generally available charter school funding is religious discrimination.
00:44:46.000I mean, the only problem you might run into there, Charlie, is if, you know, you might have some Sharia law school or something like that that pops up.
00:44:56.000Fundamental issue, which is why are we importing so many people into our country that hate us?
00:45:02.000What does a mechanic and auto shop owner in Georgia, a taco restaurant operator in Arizona, and a life-saving medical innovator in Tennessee have in common?
00:45:10.000They're all small business owners, and they're all thriving on TikTok.
00:45:14.000Across the U.S., over 7.5 million businesses, from family-owned shops to entrepreneurs, are using TikTok to compete and grow.
00:45:21.000We use TikTok all the time on the Charlie Kirk show.
00:45:23.000In fact, 74% of businesses on TikTok say TikTok has allowed them to scale their operations, increasing sales and expanding to new locations.
00:45:53.000I'm curious where you see Trump's talks with Iran going.
00:45:57.000And reading and hearing what Mark Levin is saying, and he talks about a divide in the conservative movement between dealing with Iran and appeasing Iran, which President Trump says he will not allow Iran to get a nuclear weapon.
00:46:14.000If we can't trust Iran, and frankly, I don't.
00:46:17.000Is there any recourse other than a preemptive strike?
00:46:21.000Yeah, I don't know enough about it to comment on that.
00:46:23.000I will say that I trust President Trump to figure this out.
00:46:26.000So let me explain to you President Trump's position.
00:46:29.000Is that he is rightly obsessed with nuclear proliferation.
00:46:35.000Meaning he thinks that if Iran gets a bomb, it would cause a trigger movement throughout the region and the world.
00:46:59.000Yeah, it's like he's got like 10 or 12 of these that we love.
00:47:01.000And one of them is when he talks about the devastating effects of nuclear.
00:47:06.000The major problem and the major concern is, for many people, is can we do this without getting involved in a foreign entanglement or a foreign war?
00:49:03.000They will not be allowed to do business with the United States of America in any way, shape, or form.
00:49:07.000Thank you for your attention to this matter, President Donald J. Trump.
00:49:11.000And by the way, to Charlie's point, in Trump 1.0, he basically had bankrupted Iran.
00:49:17.000And then Joe Biden, time and time again, I remember you had this, actually speaking of Mark Levin, Mark Levin talked about this tweet on his show.
00:49:24.000I remember Charlie listed out all the different ways that...
00:49:28.000Essentially, Biden had turned his back on Trump-era sanctions on Iran and was allowing all of this hundreds of billions of dollars of revenue to flow into Iranian coffers, which is partly why Israel got attacked.
00:49:41.000They now had more resources, they had more funding, they were emboldened.
00:49:44.000And so starving the beast, these choke points have proven really effective.
00:49:56.000It can be very demoralizing to watch something that keeps happening, namely where leftists will identify a real or fake problem and then propose something that will make it worse.
00:50:06.000And then they manage to saturate the narrative with this.
00:50:28.000It's not going to help black children to not be able to read, but they funnel them through and make all the problems that they want to talk about worse.
00:50:50.000And by the way, this is one of the reasons, it's not the only reason, but this is one of the reasons why young kids, they're becoming immune to these old attack vectors from the left, and the boomers, God bless you, not you in this room, but they're...
00:51:02.000By the way, just so we're clear, I got 15 hate emails on that little thing I said about baby boomers.
00:51:07.000Someone has to explain to me why baby boomers are protective of their generation.
00:52:30.000I'm like, oh my gosh, they cannot hear you saying, this is not you.
00:52:35.000It is something, though, because I think there's something deeper, though, and we'll get to the other point, though, that was asked, which is, what about generational loyalty exists with boomers that other generations don't have?
00:52:50.000I feel obligated to defend every person that was born within my specific window.
00:53:10.000My first thing is that we as a culture have to grow strength under these type of criticisms that had so much power for so long, especially coming off the civil rights era.
00:53:23.000That was the worst thing you could be called as a racist or a fascist.
00:53:28.000When they throw out these personal attacks, we have to get stronger and get better at just ignoring them because they're dumb.
00:53:35.000And I think we've come a long, long way.
00:53:37.000I mean, you think back to like 2015, even when Trump came down the escalator and, you know, made the comment about, you know, some are good people, but they're sending their rapists.
00:53:46.000I mean, it was like racism, racism, racism, right?
00:55:14.000Texas A&M, and we catch word that they're going to come and bring like 30 to 50 influencers on the left, all to Texas A&M to just basically harass Charlie and try and get this movement, you know, trip it up.
00:55:27.000And Charlie calls it before the event even happened.
00:55:30.000I don't like giving him that many compliments, but it was a real good one.
00:58:16.000So the point is, we have to get bigger and stronger and better.
00:58:20.000And what happened was, the legacy news media is forced into the TV box.
00:58:24.000It's forced into your computer screen.
00:58:26.000They have all these modes of distribution.
00:58:30.000But what happens is that covers over a multitude of sins, but those sins can only be covered up for so long, namely lack of talent, not being interesting, shoveling down thoughtless garbage into the minds of the masses.
