00:00:58.000His 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.
00:01:06.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:43.000If the Democrats, against all likelihood, are able to pack the Supreme Court, are Republicans able to reduce it back to nine when they are in power?
00:02:50.000This assumes the Democrats get rid of the filibuster in order to pack it in the first place.
00:02:54.000It seems like the easier play would be to pack it again and just keep adding justice as the concept of getting back to nine makes the most sense.
00:03:01.000How would we determine which justice to remove?
00:03:05.000Well, look, this idea of packing the courts is now getting into the mainstream because the Democrats are focusing their time and their attention and their resources on expanding the conversation.
00:03:18.000Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that you need nine justices.
00:03:21.000That has just been precedent for quite some time.
00:03:25.000Instead, Democrats know that the Supreme Court in its current composition is going to uphold a natural rights doctrine of first principles and a textualist originalist approach.
00:03:38.000Now, what did Ruth Bader Ginsburg have to say about packing the court?
00:03:51.000I think that was a bad idea when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt tried to pack the court.
00:03:57.000If anything would make the court appear partisan, it would be that one side saying when we're in power, we're going to enlarge the number of judges so we will have more people who will vote the way we want them to.
00:04:15.000So I am not at all in favor of that solution.
00:04:26.000Not at all in favor of packing the court.
00:04:29.000But the Democrats, they're not really concerned about what they said previously.
00:04:34.000In fact, Joe Biden, when he was senator, said that packing the court is a terrible idea.
00:04:43.000It's because Democrats are growing impatient.
00:04:46.000You have Democrats that are in their late 70s and early 80s that are running the Democrat Party, and they want to see the revolution that they've desired come to pass now.
00:04:58.000And they don't think they're ever going to get another chance at it.
00:05:00.000And they're combining their interest with late 20, early 30-year-old activists like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Rashida Talib, Ayana Presley, and others that believe this is a moment for radical Marxist revolutionary change in our country.
00:07:05.000So there's been a lot of research done on the 45,000 rulings that have happened in Venezuela ever since.
00:07:13.000And the court has never sided against Chavez since that took place.
00:07:21.000Canova, this is from a Foxnews.com article, who's a researcher, said, quote, since 2004, I found that Chavez and the government never lost a case, not a single one.
00:07:35.000So what is the role of the United States Supreme Court?
00:07:38.000It's to interpret the constitutionality and the legality of the laws and the actions of the other branches of government.
00:07:50.000Well, it's important because if you do not have an impartial mediator or adjudicator of differences, then you're slowly and then suddenly going to find yourself ruled by despots and tyrants.
00:08:10.000The United States Supreme Court, which originally was able to establish itself under this process called judicial review, in a U.S. Supreme Court case of Marbury versus Madison, which was somewhat of a technical case, but it was about appointments from a prior administration.
00:08:31.000If my memory serves me correctly, it was Thomas Jefferson's administration that put this person Marbury in a position, and then James Madison's administration, the fourth American president, sued about this.
00:08:44.000It was somewhat of an inconsequential situation, but it actually established, I believe it was John Marshall, who was the U.S. Supreme Court, the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, who then established this idea of judicial review.
00:09:01.000It basically said that, hey, the Supreme Court's going to be a co-equal branch of government.
00:09:10.000And from that point forward, we had some of the most consequential U.S. Supreme Court decisions from McCullough versus Maryland to the unfortunate, unconstitutional, and immoral decision of the Dred Scott case, which, by the way, every single justice in the Dred Scott case that ruled blacks as not human beings was a Democrat.
00:09:33.000But the U.S. Supreme Court, since its charter and its founding, was supposed to be a non-political, impossible-to-influence branch of government, but a co-equal one.
00:10:11.000Because it wasn't that Justice Kennedy was arguing under the Equal Protection Clause.
00:10:15.000No, he decided to overturn dozens of other states that said marriage is between one man and one woman.
00:10:24.000So instead of interpreting the law, he overturned dozens of state-based laws that defined marriage as one man and one woman.
00:10:35.000Basically turning the U.S. Supreme Court into a legislative body.
00:10:41.000So what the Democrats are now doing is they're saying, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Alito, Thomas, and Amy Coney Barrett, we don't like your political views.
00:10:50.000We don't like the way you're going to rule on guns, on speech, on immigration, rule of law, private property.
00:10:56.000So now we are going to dilute your influence by adding additional seats to the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:11:03.000Now, this is not going to happen immediately, but the same way that we conservatives lost the gay marriage debate, the same way that we conservatives lost the Green New Deal debate in the sense that multi-trillion dollar bills are spent immediately, that everything is infrastructure.
00:11:17.000And I kid you not, a congressman from New York actually said packing the U.S. Supreme Court is infrastructure.
00:12:17.000You've rarely seen this kind of focus and commitment.
00:12:20.000Seriously, they recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their number of total happy customers in the next year.
00:12:28.000So here's the deal: if you're struggling with back, neck, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, or even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted only $19.95, about a dollar a day to see if we can get you out of pain.
00:12:49.000Hey, Charlie, Linda from New Haven says, you talked about the bloody 20s last week on your podcast, but since then, there have been at least three more hyper-publicized mass shootings or officer-involved shootings.
00:13:01.000This was a seemingly rare occurrence in four years under Trump.
00:13:04.000Why all of a sudden do you think we're seeing such a sharp uptick?
00:13:42.000There's too much noise and not enough truth.
00:13:45.000These phones are driving people chemically insane.
00:13:49.000The dopamine rushes, the highs, the lows, the instant gratification, the search for meaning, the lack of purpose, the lack of aim, the lack of direction.
00:13:58.000People that already have borderline schizophrenic issues are now more likely to engage in violence than ever before.
00:14:07.000As church attendance goes down, as marriage rates go down, as newborn children go down, as people not finding satisfaction or meaning in their job goes down, alcoholism goes up and opioids go up, don't be surprised when all of a sudden violent crime is going to go up alongside of it.
00:14:27.000You see, human beings have a list of things that they need.
00:14:31.000People need certainty and uncertainty.
00:14:33.000Isn't that a wonderful charm that God made human beings that way?
00:14:37.000We need things we can count on and things we can't count on.
00:14:40.000We also need significance in one way or the other.
00:14:44.000We need to be cared for by somebody, whether it be a friend, a boss, an employer, a co-worker, a spouse.
00:14:52.000We need to feel as if our action matters to somebody else.
00:14:57.000And I tell people all the time: go do something that matters to somebody else and you will then be significant.
00:15:03.000Well, you know how some people find themselves to be significant?
00:15:07.000Whether we like it or not, go shooting up a FedEx, that makes you significant.
00:15:13.000In the most perverse, evil, awful way, you're significant.
00:15:17.000You might be in the hood and you might be someone that is not very important, doesn't have a great life in front of you.
00:15:25.000But all of a sudden, the moment you take a firearm and you put that firearm on somebody's head, you go from someone that's not important to really important in that moment.
00:16:33.000I'm not saying violent crime is necessarily an output of all those things, but those things contribute.
00:16:40.000And so a pretty easy way to address this is protect yourself, obviously, and protect your family, buy weapons and buy firearms.
00:16:51.000But if we do not teach people earned success and they indulge in instant gratification, don't be shocked or surprised when people then start breaking into other homes, burning down small businesses, burning down police cars to go find that need for purpose and significance.
00:17:13.000And this is what's so dangerous about some of these activist movements is that they purport to be on the side of the angels that they're going to give upper middle class people significance when in reality it does the opposite.
00:17:30.000It's rooted in destruction, not building.
00:17:33.000So here's a really good test for yourself.
00:18:18.000And he says, Charlie, what book would you recommend reading?
00:18:21.000Well, that will be our thinker.org book of the week, T-H-I-N-K-R.org slash Charlie, Man's Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl.
00:18:31.000Thinker.org slash Charlie, T-H-I-N-K-R dot org slash Charlie, where Victor Frankl famously said, and he was a concentration camp survivor, there are only two types of people in the world.
00:19:28.000We've got to root them out of the force.
00:19:29.000My question, though, is: where are the good apples?
00:19:33.000If we're meant to believe that the police system in America, the system of policing itself is not fundamentally broken, then we would need to see good apples.
00:19:45.000And by the way, I'm not saying that there are no good policemen.
00:20:38.000Texas police officer saves five children from burning home.
00:20:41.000A police officer in Texas ran into a burning home to save five children and one adult.
00:20:46.000Sam Click, a Seagoville police officer, was on patrol and he discovered the front of a duplex home engulfed in flames in the 700 block of Casa Grande Drive the morning of August 25th.
00:20:56.000Saved five children from imminent death.
00:20:59.000Now, Trevor Noah, this is actually not hard.
00:24:25.000So for example, do you know that the United States of America has 80% of all the tornadoes on the planet happen in the United States of America?
00:24:35.00080% of all the tornadoes on the planet.
00:25:06.000One of the most telling and predictive inputs of a child's success in life, and this is very important for all you new parents out there that listen to our program, is how many words a child hears every single day.
00:25:41.000If you have a two-parent household with a stable family and grandparents and family members in the home, is that child likely to hear more words or less words every single day?
00:25:53.000Why are coastal cities more likely to be wealthy than inland Midwestern cities?
00:25:59.000Why are river towns more likely to be wealthy than mountain towns?
00:26:04.000Is it because of racism and discrimination?
00:26:07.000Proximity, trade routes, capacity to do commerce.
00:26:12.000The point that Thomas Sowell makes, and Trevor Noah refuses to acknowledge it because it takes wisdom, intelligence, nuance, honesty, and deliberative thinking and not pathological narrative building, is that when you have a society with millions of prerequisites and input variables, there might be other things at play other than discrimination, besides discrimination.
00:26:40.000Like how many words does a black child hear at home?
00:26:44.000When's the last time you heard anyone on television mention that?
00:26:48.000Or how about that a black kid raised by a mother and a father is more likely to succeed than a white child raised by a single mother?
00:27:17.000What you're really trying to say here is that there's a white supremacist monetization conspiracy scheme to try and Imprison black people because we make money off of them?
00:27:54.000And you see, what Trevor Noah and so many others refuse to acknowledge is that the core family unit is irreplaceable.
00:28:07.000A 2015 Justice Department analysis of the Philadelphia Police Department found that white police officers were less likely than black or Hispanic officers to shoot unarmed black suspects.
00:28:19.000Black officers were 67% more likely than white officers to mistakenly shoot an unarmed black suspect.
00:28:25.000Hispanic officers were 145% more likely than white officers to mistakenly shoot an unarmed black suspect.
00:28:33.000Research by Harvard economist Roland G. Fryer also found no evidence of racial discrimination in shootings.
00:29:35.000Number one, in the digital social media age, there are highly emotional videos that can be misinterpreted.
00:29:40.000Number two, there are people that want to do crime that have been trying to get rid of the police for quite some time.
00:29:47.000And want me to prove, number three, that police officers are not racist and they actually don't only go after black people.
00:29:55.000Ask any white person that you know that when they see a police officer in the rearview mirror, do they get nervous or do they get they don't care?
00:30:06.000Every person, regardless of skin color, when they see a police officer and they're driving, gets nervous that they're going to get caught texting while they're driving or pulled over.
00:30:16.000This idea of racial profiling when it comes to policing is not rooted in science or facts.
00:30:24.000But Trevor Noah wouldn't tell you that because no one gets powerful when that actually is true.
00:30:31.000So are you making full use of your savings?
00:30:33.000Think of the times you've yearned for better returns.
00:30:35.000After real inflation, charges, and taxes, are you even making a profit with food, clothing, and rent all more than doubling over the last 10 years?
00:31:50.000He was with a known gangbanger, Ruben Roman, 21-year-old, who was arrested at the scene of the crime of the shooting, and he has been arrested on an unrelated warrant earlier this month.
00:32:05.000Officers charged him with child endangerment, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, and reckless discharge of a firearm.
00:32:12.000So before I go through this, let me just say Ruben Roman should be the focal point of all criticism here.
00:32:21.000Ruben Roman is the bad guy in this situation.
00:32:25.000And I'm going to walk you through what's really happened here.
00:32:27.000Okay, so the 2 a.m. hour, officers were responding to eight shots fired according to police radio traffic released by authorities.
00:32:35.000So someone shot eight shots somewhere at 2 a.m.
00:32:40.000Footage shows Eric Stillman, who I think is the police officer, catching Roman, the 21-year-old criminal thug, and then passing him off to his partner while he continues to chase Adam Toledo down a narrow alleyway.
00:32:53.000Now, before I go any further, it's very clear that Adam, being a 13-year-old, was being groomed by Ruben Roman to be a gangbanger.
00:33:03.000They find these 12 and 13-year-olds and they put them in a situation of crime.
00:33:07.000It's an evil, immoral, manipulative thing to do.
00:33:14.000So, Stillman and Toledo, the encounter between them lasted about 20 seconds.
00:33:19.000In the final seconds of the encounter, on a body camera, a police officer can be heard repeatingly saying to Adam, stop and show me your effing hands.
00:33:31.000The officer, the police officer, then chases Toledo and can be heard on the radio transmission that he's chasing someone who's, quote, holding his waistband.
00:33:39.000The video, according to police, shows a gun in Toledo's right hand as he nears an open area of the fence next to an empty lot.
00:33:47.000And surveillance video from behind the fence shows Adam throwing the gun.
00:33:53.000Adam Toledo then turns to his left towards the officer, and what the police says is the gun disappears behind the right side.
00:34:01.000Toledo then begins to raise his hands as he's facing the police officer when the officer fires his weapon.
00:34:05.000All happens in less than an eighth of a second, eight-tenths of a second.
00:34:11.000The officer had to make a decision in less than eight-tenths of a second, possibly be shot or shoot someone who has a firearm after you heard that eight shots were fired.
00:34:23.000Stillman runs towards Toledo, the police officer, and actually offers him medical aid.
00:34:30.000He did not want this 13-year-old to die.
00:34:33.000After calling for help and confirming they had a gunshot victim by the police, the officer said, Where are you shot, man?
00:35:47.000And Toledo, who was brought into the situation by this gangbanging thug, met with law enforcement, drops the gun, but in an eighth-tenth of a second, this police officer has to make a decision, and he goes bang, and Toledo dies.
