00:00:58.000 Important episode.
00:00:59.000 Here we go.
00:01:00.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:02.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:04.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:07.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:11.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:12.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:13.000 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.
00:01:21.000 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.
00:01:30.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:32.000 There was a huge story that broke last night.
00:01:35.000 And most of the activist press is very distracted on the fact that New York, the state of New York, has now officially changed the nature of the investigation of the Trump organization from a civil complaint to a criminal complaint.
00:01:49.000 We're going to get to that as the Trump organization continues to be politically investigated by the highest levels of power in our country on a state basis.
00:02:00.000 Meanwhile, Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton are allowed to do anything that they please, but the Trump organization continues to be a focus.
00:02:09.000 We're going to get into that because it's very important what's happening here, and I think that most people are missing it.
00:02:13.000 And by the way, the essence of the investigation is literally around tuition payments to a school.
00:02:19.000 Not drug trafficking, not sex trafficking, not bringing in firearms.
00:02:23.000 No, school payments.
00:02:25.000 We'll get into that.
00:02:26.000 But the story I really want to focus on right now, which is one that is immensely frustrating, is written by Jonathan Swan, who's a very honest reporter for Axios, axios.com, where it says that Joe Biden is going to waive sanctions on company in charge of Nord Stream 2.
00:02:45.000 Now, many of you may say, well, what's the big deal about that?
00:02:48.000 What is Nord Stream 2?
00:02:50.000 Nord Stream 2 is a pipeline.
00:02:54.000 Now, you might have remembered hearing about a pipeline that was supposed to connect Germany to Russia to supply them with cheap natural gas.
00:03:07.000 Now, Donald Trump spoke out against this.
00:03:09.000 And in fact, Donald Trump put sanctions on this pipeline, not allowing its construction, going against the will and the wishes of Angela Merkel, who basically runs the European Union.
00:03:26.000 The German economy is the wealthiest economy in Europe.
00:03:30.000 Germans have a knack for being precise operators with some very, very valuable companies, not just automotive companies, but pharmaceutical companies to textile companies.
00:03:41.000 The Germans have always been, at least in the last 40 or 50 years, the leader of industry in Europe, which, of course, until they left the European Union, the United Kingdom would be right behind it, then maybe France or Spain or Italy.
00:03:54.000 And so Germany wants cheap natural gas, cheap liquefied natural gas. 0.51
00:04:00.000 The problem is that this pipeline was going to come straight from the Russian Federation into Germany.
00:04:09.000 So Donald Trump, despite being accused of being a Russian agent, actually was incredibly harsh towards Russia, saying, no, we are not going to expand or play into or basically help the profits of the Russian Federation.
00:04:26.000 Now, despite all this, he was still investigated by the Mueller investigation.
00:04:29.000 He was still, to this day, believed to be a Russian agent and a Russian spy, despite no evidence whatsoever.
00:04:35.000 Donald Trump also did two separate airstrikes in Syria against the wishes of Vladimir Putin against the Kremlin-backed Bashar al-Assad.
00:04:45.000 Donald Trump also expelled diplomats from America and closed an embassy of Russia in the United States.
00:04:54.000 Donald Trump aided the Ukrainian government with sophisticated weaponry against the wishes of Vladimir Putin.
00:05:02.000 Donald Trump was anything but pro-Russian.
00:05:04.000 In fact, he was more hostile towards Russia than Barack Obama, and yes, even Joe Biden.
00:05:11.000 And so if what Jonathan Swan is reporting is true, here is the stance of the Biden administration, that we are going to destroy American pipelines like the Keystone XL pipeline, but approve and support Russian pipelines.
00:05:26.000 That's the news story of the day.
00:05:27.000 That should be the biggest story in the country.
00:05:31.000 The fact that Joe Biden and his State Department, according to Jonathan Swan's reporting at Axios, they are planning to lift sanctions to make Russia great again and destroy our own ability to extract and transport our liquefied natural gas, also known as LNG.
00:05:51.000 I'm going to read from the article here.
00:05:53.000 This planned move sets up a bizarre situation in which the Biden administration will be refusing to sanction the actual company in charge of the project.
00:06:04.000 Sources close to the situation say that top Biden officials have determined to say that the only way is to actually stop the project, which they actually don't want to do, is to sanction the German end users of the gas.
00:06:18.000 Huh.
00:06:21.000 And it says here that the State Department will imminently send its mandatory 90-day report to Congress listing entities involved in Nord Stream 2 that deserve sanctions.
00:06:30.000 And it says the Biden administration will waive sanctions on the corporate entity and the CEO overseeing the construction of Russia's Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
00:06:39.000 Angela Merkel needs liquefied natural gas.
00:06:42.000 Now, the obvious question that all of you are probably saying right now, especially those of you in beautiful West Texas, maybe Midland, Texas, maybe you are in Roswell, New Mexico, maybe are you in beautiful North Dakota, love my friends in North Dakota, or maybe you are in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania or southwestern New York.
00:07:04.000 Why don't we use our own natural gas?
00:07:07.000 You see, Donald Trump's vision was to have America extract its own natural gas, and Germany, instead of getting it from Russia, could buy it from America, therefore fulfilling an America-first agenda.
00:07:22.000 America is the leader when it comes to oil and natural gas extraction on the planet.
00:07:29.000 We have private ownership of minerals.
00:07:31.000 Many of these other countries have the nationalization of their minerals.
00:07:34.000 We have greater technology, a greater work ethic, ability to transport it.
00:07:39.000 We are the leader when it comes to energy production on the planet.
00:07:42.000 And Joe Biden has made it his early stated goal to destroy oil and natural gas.
00:07:47.000 He said that in the debate.
00:07:48.000 Very few people believed him. 1.00
00:07:49.000 The media refused to cover it, but it's true. 0.98
00:07:53.000 Now, remember, Donald Trump said this. 1.00
00:07:54.000 He said that Germany will become dependent on Russian energy.
00:07:58.000 Angela Merkel is one of the worst leaders in the modern era.
00:08:02.000 I met a couple of Germans last summer and they just loved Angela Merkel.
00:08:06.000 They were conservatives.
00:08:07.000 Germans have this very strange loyalty to Angela Merkel.
00:08:11.000 I can't quite figure it out. 0.99
00:08:12.000 She's a disaster. 1.00
00:08:14.000 Cut 64. 0.69
00:08:16.000 Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course. 0.93
00:08:27.000 Here in the Western Hemisphere, we are committed to maintaining our independence from the encroachment. 0.86
00:08:36.000 I believe that speech was at a NATO summit.
00:08:39.000 It sounds like an official speech, not like something that was off the cuff.
00:08:43.000 It's a tactic as old as politics itself.
00:08:47.000 Accuse your opponent of conspiring to do something controversial while planning to do the whole time yourself.
00:08:55.000 As Democrats have said that Donald Trump was owned by Russia, while Mitch McConnell was owned by Russia, in reality, they are the ones that are now pandering to the Russian Federation.
00:09:05.000 And so we now have an activist press that is not covering this in the slightest.
00:09:10.000 This is the number one news story in the country.
00:09:12.000 What should be a call to action to revive America's ability to extract and transport our own God-given minerals, fracking and natural gas, which, by the way, is more environmentally friendly than people realize.
00:09:27.000 Natural gas is abundant, it's clean, it's easy to transport, it is light.
00:09:33.000 And what does Joe Biden do?
00:09:35.000 He destroys the Keystone XL pipeline and he is considering removing leases for new fracking and discontinuing leasing for fracking on federal lands.
00:09:45.000 So in Joe Biden's perspective, no Keystone XL pipeline, American jobs, no.
00:09:51.000 Yes to Nord Stream 2.
00:09:53.000 Joe Biden is putting Russia first.
00:09:57.000 Look, for many of you that watch our live stream or our radio show, listen to our radio show, you know I talk about Relief Factor a lot.
00:10:04.000 And look, truth is, I know millions of people are in some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older, that can do it.
00:10:11.000 That's why I'm so impressed with Pete and Seth Talbot.
00:10:13.000 They are on a mission.
00:10:14.000 You've rarely seen this kind of focus and commitment.
00:10:17.000 Seriously, 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.
00:10:24.000 And I believe they'll do it.
00:10:25.000 So 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.
00:10:36.000 So go to relieffactor.com.
00:10:38.000 That's relieffactor.com.
00:10:39.000 The Talbots are amazing people.
00:10:41.000 Check it out: relieffactor.com.
00:10:45.000 Joe Biden is now doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin.
00:10:49.000 It's almost as if everything that they accuse Donald Trump of, they've been doing themselves.
00:10:53.000 So, what could the motive possibly be behind this?
00:10:57.000 Why would Joe Biden all of a sudden want to lift sanctions, according to Jonathan Swan's report on Axios, who's a very trusted reporter, on this very simple deal where you have a pipeline coming from Russia straight into Germany?
00:11:16.000 Donald Trump called this Cut 65.
00:11:20.000 Donald Trump in 2018 said it's sad that we're protecting all these countries and that we're going to go make a pipeline deal with Russia, not a deal with American liquid natural gas.
00:11:29.000 So here's the thing: we're going to play Cut 65 in a second.
00:11:32.000 But Germany needs liquefied natural gas.
00:11:34.000 Their big investment in solar and wind has failed.
00:11:38.000 It just so happens that it gets very dark and cloudy in Berlin.
00:11:45.000 And all those new refugees that Angela Merkel has brought in, they need energy too, cheap energy. 0.95
00:11:51.000 So Angela Merkel, who is one of the worst leaders in the modern era, who's a globalist-running Germany, has basically said, you know what? 0.89
00:12:03.000 I need liquefied natural gas.
00:12:05.000 I'll get it from Vladimir Putin, a sworn enemy of the West.
00:12:11.000 Cut 65.
00:12:12.000 Well, I have to say, I think it's very sad when Germany makes a massive oil and gas deal with Russia.
00:12:21.000 where you're supposed to be guarding against Russia and Germany goes out and pays billions and billions of dollars a year to Russia.
00:12:28.000 So we're protecting Germany, we're protecting France, we're protecting all of these countries.
00:12:34.000 And then numerous of the countries go out and make a pipeline deal with Russia where they're paying billions of dollars into the coffers of Russia.
00:12:44.000 Under Donald Trump, we were an energy net exporter with low gas prices and abundant natural gas.
00:12:49.000 It took five months to now get gas shortages and we now import.
00:12:55.000 We have more than we know what to do with here in this country.
00:12:59.000 Joe Biden and his administration have decided that you do not matter.
00:13:04.000 And instead, what matters is this abstract green energy goal that is pathologically and ideologically driven.
00:13:12.000 So what is driving this entire thing?
00:13:14.000 Why pander to the weak and probably corrupt Angela Merkel? 1.00
00:13:22.000 Well, first of all, Angela Merkel is a darling of the globalist class. 0.99
00:13:27.000 She always has been.
00:13:28.000 She kept the EU alive during the currency collapse, you might remember eight or nine years ago, where German guilt drove Angela Merkel and the entire German government to bail out Greece and Portugal.
00:13:42.000 And so Angela Merkel needs energy, but Angela Merkel also knows that the Americans, now under their government, they're not going to give it to her. 0.98
00:13:51.000 So she wants to pander to this vision of a utopian world without fossil fuels.
00:14:00.000 So her way of getting there is we might as well get Nord Stream done, which will be a cash handout to the Russian government.
00:14:09.000 And that cash handout will then result in her nation having cheaper liquefied natural gas, which is always amazing to me.
00:14:20.000 The environmentalists can never explain where this natural gas is going to come from.
00:14:23.000 It's either coming from our planet or not.
00:14:26.000 Instead, they act as if it's a completely different ecosystem that it's going to be coming from.
00:14:35.000 So why is this happening?
00:14:37.000 Well, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that Hunter Biden, according to a Senate report, received a $3.5 million payment from an ex-Moscow mayor's wife.
00:14:46.000 Remember that?
00:14:47.000 That Hunter Biden was paid cash of $3.5 million from a wealthy wife of a Moscow former mayor.
00:14:55.000 Donald Trump never received such any payments from anyone Russian-related, but it seems that according to this 87-page document published by the United States Senate, it says, quote, Hunter Biden received a $3.5 million wire transfer from Elena Butorina, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow.
00:15:12.000 Is Joe Biden now making good on a promise that he was going to pander to the wants and interests of the Russian Federation?
00:15:19.000 What does Vladimir Putin possibly have on Joe Biden?
00:15:24.000 Now, these are fair questions because we had to go through this for years on a fake dossier that has now been exposed by every major media outlet that destroyed our - that divided our country, I should say, unnecessarily and gave smear merchants on cable television unlimited amount of unfounded fodder to investigate Donald Trump, indict and imprison his allies.
00:15:46.000 And for what?
00:15:49.000 Is it time to stop renting and buy your first home?
00:15:53.000 Owning your home is an investment in your future.
00:15:56.000 And with today's low rates, now is the time to do it.
00:15:58.000 Often with mortgage payment, it's the same as rent.
00:16:00.000 So why pay for someone else's mortgage payment?
00:16:03.000 Going through the mortgage process for the first time means you're going to have lots of questions.
00:16:07.000 You need someone you can trust.
00:16:09.000 I recommend Andrew and Todd at andrewandtodd.com.

00:16:53.000 The New York Police Department says in the 28-day period from March 8th to April 4th, there's been a 95% jump in shootings compared to the same period last year.
00:17:06.000 Homicides have gone up 60%.
00:17:10.000 Rapes have doubled in New York City.
00:17:15.000 And New York City killings rose almost 40%.
00:17:18.000 And shootings have nearly doubled from their previous year.
00:17:22.000 Historically, crime is still far below the levels of the early 1990s when Rudy Giuliani fixed the city.
00:17:31.000 With a 97% jump in shootings last year and a 45% increase in murders, criminal carnage that has not been seen for 14 years.
00:17:43.000 In Brooklyn's Brownsville and Bedford-Suyvesant neighborhoods, Bedsty, there is a 170% increase in more shooting.
00:17:54.000 And there's a 151% increase in more shooting incidents.
00:17:58.000 And murder is up 94% in these parts of Brooklyn.
00:18:02.000 But according to Alexander Ecasio-Cortez, abolishing the police is the solution.
00:18:08.000 The 2020 increase is actually worse than the annual numbers because of the momentary drop during the virus.
00:18:15.000 It continued into this year, and shootings citywide were up 20% through February 14th, 2021, compared with the first six weeks of 2020.
00:18:25.000 As of May 2nd, 132 people have been killed in New York City, compared to only 113 this time last year, a 17% increase.
00:18:34.000 And there have been 416 shooting incidents compared with 227 this time last year, an 83% increase.
00:18:43.000 New York City and the state of New York are seeing an increase in crime, the likes of which we have not seen in 20 years.
00:18:56.000 The intentional unfolding of New York City is occurring.
00:19:00.000 I have a friend who has a son who's 11 years old in the Tribeca neighborhood.
00:19:07.000 He was walking home from school in broad daylight and was mugged by three criminals at knife point for his cell phone.
00:19:16.000 The cops barely followed up.
00:19:19.000 I have another friend who lives in the Wall Street area who said there are muggings every single night in the Wall Street area, and he does not feel safe going out at night anymore.
00:19:31.000 And those of you that know New York know that you used to be able to walk all throughout New York at any time and feel safe.
00:19:38.000 But New York is now turning into a criminal paradise.
00:19:45.000 So, with all of that background and New York unfolding in front of our eyes almost intentionally, chaos is the new norm.
00:19:56.000 What is the state of New York and their law enforcement arm doing about this?
00:20:01.000 What is the state of New York doing to try and address the rise in crime?
00:20:05.000 What is the Manhattan Attorney General doing to try to make the streets safe, to actually care about black lives?
00:20:12.000 What is the Manhattan Attorney General doing to try to make New York at least not some replica of a third world country?
00:20:22.000 Well, the answer is New York has dedicated millions of dollars and hundreds of people's time to continually investigating in search of a crime, by the way.
00:20:36.000 So, you have an investigation with no premise in search of a crime of the Trump organization.
00:20:44.000 Late last night, the Attorney General of New York, Laticia James, came out and said that they are now changing their civil investigation into a criminal investigation into Donald Trump.
00:20:55.000 As we have predicted many times on this program, they will not rest until Donald Trump is in prison.
00:21:01.000 They will not rest until there's any sort of counter move from conservatives where they think there is a cost to actually using the apparatus of an attorney general's office or the criminal justice system to go after political opponents that they don't like.
00:21:15.000 Cut 49, MSNBC reporting on this.
00:21:17.000 They were gleeful because finally their ratings are going to go up because they get to now focus on Donald Trump again.
00:21:24.000 49.
00:21:25.000 Breaking overnight, former President Trump's business empire is now under criminal investigation by the state of New York.
00:21:32.000 Attorney General Letitia James's office said last night it is actively investigating the Trump organization in a criminal capacity.
00:21:39.000 The AG's office is looking at whether the company, based in New York City, lied about its property values to get loans and other benefits.
00:21:47.000 That's on top of a separate investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney focused on whether the organization engaged in falsifying records, tax fraud, and insurance fraud.
00:21:58.000 Sounds bad, right?
00:21:59.000 Well, you look into actually what they're investigating.
00:22:01.000 You now have the Manhattan Attorney General and the Attorney General for the state of New York joining together in a criminal investigation of the Trump organization.
00:22:10.000 Sounds really bad.
00:22:11.000 But then you look into what they're investigating.
00:22:14.000 It's actually laughable that while crime and rape and murders are up nearly doubling, rapes have doubled in New York City.
00:22:23.000 And what is the Manhattan District Attorney and the New York Attorney General, what are they focusing on?
00:22:27.000 Whether or not when Donald Trump gave benefits to his CFO, his chief financial officer, such as paying for his grandkids' tuition at a school, whether or not that was tax fraud.
00:22:42.000 That's literally what they're investigating.
00:22:44.000 They're also investigating a property by the name, I believe, called Sandy Springs of whether or not Donald Trump inflated the value of the real estate for a tax benefit.
00:22:53.000 If that is going to be the new normal, every single real estate developer in New York City would go to prison.
00:22:59.000 Real estate, by definition, is one of the hardest things to find value.
00:23:03.000 The value is who's going to pay for it.
00:23:05.000 Maybe you really want the house.
00:23:06.000 Maybe the market is hot and the market is down.
00:23:09.000 Of course, there's a value question and a valuation question.
00:23:13.000 They're not investigating Donald Trump for working with a foreign government.
00:23:21.000 They're not investigating Donald Trump for getting a $3.5 million wire from the mayor of Moscow's wife. 0.84
00:23:27.000 They're not investigating Donald Trump for flying on Air Force 2 with his father and then getting a billion dollars from the Chinese, our greatest enemy.
00:23:36.000 No, they're investigating Donald Trump of whether or not he gave benefits to his CFO that shouldn't have been taxed.
00:23:45.000 This is a tax issue.
00:23:46.000 They say it's tax fraud.
00:23:48.000 It's very serious.
00:23:50.000 Now, whether or not Donald Trump did something incorrect is actually not the point.
00:23:55.000 I don't think he did.
00:23:56.000 I don't know the facts of the situation.
00:23:57.000 But just looking at it, it's just so incredible.
00:24:00.000 You now have a monster of a criminal investigation with no suspected crime.
00:24:09.000 They're looking through every single person's financial records.
00:24:12.000 They will find something, especially if you're a multi-billionaire that's been in business for 40 years in the city of New York.
00:24:20.000 And find something they will, and indict they will.
00:24:24.000 So why are they doing this?
00:24:26.000 Well, they want revenge against Donald Trump for interrupting their revolution.
00:24:31.000 They want to make sure he's going to pay, and they make a public spectacle and example out of him for even daring to run for president in the first place and being an effective president, putting in judges, changing geopolitics, and making their takeover of the country that much harder.
00:24:50.000 But this actually leads to a much more fundamental question that's very important.
00:24:57.000 Do you actually think that the Democrats and the left will ever actually release their focus on the threat of the conservative movement?
00:25:13.000 Do you think they're actually ever going to move on from this?
00:25:16.000 Of course not.
00:25:17.000 In almost every single totalitarian country, they need a foil. 0.59
00:25:25.000 In the Soviet Union, it was the Kulaks, or it was the capitalists. 0.75
00:25:30.000 In China, right now, it is the Americans and the Westerners. 0.80
00:25:34.000 In order to justify power, you need an enemy.
00:25:40.000 Otherwise, then people say, well, why do you keep on having power?
00:25:43.000 No, you need, as what Orwell would write in 1984, the two minutes hate, where in 1984, Orwell wrote that it was mandatory for every citizen for two minutes a day to stare at the screen and get worked up about who they're supposed to hate.
00:26:00.000 Sounds like CNN, doesn't it?
00:26:03.000 That he knew that in order for totalitarian governments to continue to exist, that the anger and the fury must be fed every single day.
00:26:12.000 They need the persecution of the opposing party.
00:26:16.000 And they want to metaphorically scalp the biggest name in the world, Donald Trump, and they want to take credit for it.
00:26:23.000 For paying tuition for his CFO, for his grandkids.
00:26:27.000 Now, let me ask you a question.
00:26:30.000 What do you think is a bigger threat to the people of New York?
00:26:34.000 A doubling in rapes?
00:26:36.000 Homicides up 60%?
00:26:39.000 A 95% jump in shootings?
00:26:42.000 And killings up 40%?
00:26:45.000 Or the question of whether Donald Trump paid for his CFO grandkids' tuition for a very expensive school on the Upper East Side and might not have paid taxes on that?
00:26:53.000 By the way, most of those matters would be settled by a letter from the IRS: hey, pay the tax.
00:27:01.000 Not a monstrous multi-million dollar state of New York and Manhattan District Attorney joint investigation to crush someone who, by the way, has paid so much respect and taxes to the city of New York and a former president.
00:27:17.000 And this goes to a very sad but real, but just honest realization of our country.
00:27:24.000 We are no longer a nation of laws.
00:27:27.000 We're a nation of political will.
00:27:30.000 The reason this is happening is because there is an audience for this.
00:27:33.000 There is a demand for this.
00:27:36.000 Do you notice that they're mentioned in this investigation?
00:27:38.000 There's very little outrage from anyone.
00:27:40.000 Oh, yeah, it's fine.
00:27:42.000 I guess you did something wrong.
00:27:45.000 Alexander Hamilton predicted this.
00:27:48.000 Alexander Hamilton never became president.
00:27:50.000 He was actually shot by Aaron Burr.
00:27:52.000 He was the first Secretary of the Treasury, famously wrote the Federalist Papers alongside James Madison.
00:27:59.000 It was a very strict on immigration, too.
00:28:00.000 He's been glamorized by Broadway, and many of you have probably seen the play, but very few people know about Alexander Hamilton and actually what he believed.
00:28:07.000 But Alexander Hamilton predicted this: that the courts and the justice system would always conform to the will of the majority.
00:28:17.000 That it would not be an impartial system of laws.
00:28:21.000 Instead, it would be a nation of political will.
00:28:23.000 This was his great fear.
00:28:24.000 We're going to explore this together because they might be investigating Donald Trump now, but they'll be coming for more people soon, including maybe you.
00:28:35.000 Ever wondered how free-to-access social media companies make all their money?
00:28:39.000 Well, by tracking your searches, video history, and everything you click on, and then by selling your valuable data.
00:28:45.000 But you don't have to give big tech website access to your data.
00:28:49.000 That's why I choose to protect my online activity by using ExpressVPN.
00:28:54.000 When I use ExpressVPN, I'm anonymized anytime I go online, and your presence will be hidden, including your IP address.
00:29:02.000 That makes your activity more difficult to trace and sell to advertisers.
00:29:06.000 What's even more is ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of your data to protect you from eavesdroppers on your network.
00:29:12.000 And the ExpressVPN app couldn't be easier to use.
00:29:16.000 You just tap one button on your phone and computer and you're protected.
00:29:19.000 Take back your online privacy with the VPN that I trust at expressvpn.com/slash kirk.
00:29:25.000 By visiting my link, you'll get an extra three months of ExpressVPN service for free on a one-year package.
00:29:31.000 Again, that's expressvpn.com/slash kirk, expressvpn.com/slash kirk.
00:29:39.000 Let's go to cut 50, Representative Madeline Dean on the New York Attorney General Criminal Investigation, the Trump Organization, Cut 50.
00:29:47.000 It's not surprising to me.
00:29:49.000 I think the walls are finally closing in on the truth about the Trump organization and what has happened.
00:29:55.000 You saw that we in Congress tried to exercise our oversight responsibility into Trump finances, tax returns, appraisals of properties, and those kinds of things.
00:30:06.000 And the Trump administration thwarted us at every turn.
00:30:10.000 We're going to see now through the use of the DA and the Attorney General in New York.
00:30:17.000 We are now going to see through the use of the DA and the Attorney General one of the greatest political persecutions we have seen using the criminal system, the criminal justice system in our country's history.
00:30:30.000 So why are they doing this?
00:30:32.000 It's the same reason why Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin and Mao and Benita Mussolini and any sort of autocrat that wants to hang on to power will never admit to the people that the threat is gone.
00:30:48.000 They never give that speech.
00:30:50.000 Do you notice that the autocrats, the collectivists, they never give permission for the people to release their hold on the threat of the other?
00:30:59.000 Of course not.
00:31:00.000 That would instead justify some form of a period of peace.
00:31:06.000 And once you have peace, then autocracy and monarchy and oligarchy and the ability to be in control, you lose your mandate to govern.
00:31:19.000 Now, the Democrats realize that the thing that is keeping their party together, the only thing that's keeping their party together, is the two minutes hate.
00:31:33.000 Is the unifying perspective that in every person in the Democrat Party that you might disagree on socialism or you might disagree on how many foreigners they should bring into America, but instead keep giving us power because we will go eliminate the scourge of Donald Trump and his followers and his allies.
00:31:56.000 Do you think they'll ever actually stop?
00:32:00.000 Will they release their focus on this threat?
00:32:04.000 And why are they so threatened by a man that is now golfing at Mar-a-Lago?
00:32:09.000 That's a deeper question.
00:32:11.000 I addressed that yesterday in the villages.
00:32:14.000 I spoke in the villages, Florida, and it's one that I'm going to actually explore in the next couple of weeks.
00:32:19.000 I'm going to talk about with a familiar name and face that you guys all know, which I believe the 1990s put forward some very destructive policies, such as we never should have gotten away from making stuff in our country.
00:32:36.000 The fact that we deindustrialized our economy and that we sent manufacturing overseas was one of the great errors of public policy in American history.
00:32:46.000 And Donald Trump called that out.
00:32:49.000 And the people that stood to benefit from that, they don't just want to indict Donald Trump.
00:32:53.000 They want to indict his ideas.
00:32:56.000 Let me say that again.
00:32:57.000 They do not just want to indict Donald Trump.
00:32:59.000 They want to indict the fact that Donald Trump dared to challenge internationalist trade that only benefited the Chinese Communist Party.
00:33:10.000 They want to indict the fact that Donald Trump said, wait a second, why don't we just try to have a conversation and qualify who is coming into our country and for what reason?
00:33:22.000 They want to indict, and they want to make a public example of Donald Trump daring to challenge the fact that we were having adventurous wars overseas.
00:33:37.000 Donald Trump was actually building a political movement that, despite what they said they hated about him, his tone and his tweets, and you might disagree with how he handled himself on all that.
00:33:48.000 That's fine.
00:33:49.000 What they really feared was a robust, long-term pro-American political movement that could unite the Bernie Sanders people and the plumbers and the welders, Hispanics and the blacks and the working class whites and the Christians and the Jews and all sorts of different walks of backgrounds of languages and religious and religion that just wanted a strong country that had some very simple beliefs.
00:34:14.000 That we want to make more stuff here. 0.98
00:34:16.000 We want to control who comes into our country. 0.91
00:34:19.000 That we should always put the interests of our own citizens first. 1.00
00:34:23.000 And that sending hundreds of billions of dollars to Afghanistan every single year was not in the best interest of the working class. 0.90
00:34:30.000 That's what they want to indict.
00:34:32.000 They want to put in prison the ideas of American restoration and greatness, and you must never forget that.
00:34:39.000 It's not about the person.
00:34:41.000 It's about the movement.
00:34:42.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
