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 campuses.
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.
00:01:33.000 We are crisscrossing the country.
00:01:34.000 We've been in Texas.
00:01:35.000 We've been in Idaho.
00:01:36.000 We've been in Oklahoma.
00:01:37.000 And now we are in the great state of Missouri, where we are speaking on campuses across the country.
00:01:45.000 The country is open because we say it's open and people seem to be enjoying themselves.
00:01:49.000 We had a great event in Oklahoma City.
00:01:51.000 The governor of Oklahoma, great guy, joined us and we enjoyed 450 people last night, standing room only.
00:02:00.000 I think there were maybe two masks in the whole room and people loved it and they enjoyed it.
00:02:05.000 It was an optimistic event despite all of the nonsense happening in our country.
00:02:09.000 We'll be in Kentucky tomorrow.
00:02:11.000 We'll be in Nashville next week with the great Candace Owens and then we'll be in Vegas, then San Jose after that.
00:02:16.000 We have a country to save and we are going to keep on working every single day to make that possible.
00:02:23.000 The top news story of the day continues to be the atrocity in Boulder, Colorado.
00:02:31.000 Right after the tragedy, right after the shooting, the activist media was quick to try to categorize this as a racially motivated incident.
00:02:43.000 In fact, Kamala Harris's niece, Mina Harris, came out and tweeted this, quote, the Atlanta shooting was not even a week ago.
00:02:55.000 Violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country.
00:02:59.000 Now, of course, this is not true.
00:03:01.000 The shooter was not a white man.
00:03:06.000 It was a Muslim, a Syrian immigrant to our country who killed 10 people.
00:03:12.000 Nina Harris then went on Twitter and her correction was almost worse than her actual original statement, which is a pretty stunning thing to say.
00:03:20.000 Now, this is the niece of the vice president of the United States making a remarkably bigoted statement, stereotyping someone immediately as being a violent white man.
00:03:34.000 She said this.
00:03:36.000 I deleted a previous tweet about the suspect in the Boulder shooting.
00:03:40.000 I made an assumption based on his being taken into custody alive that the majority of mass shootings in the United States are carried out by white men.
00:03:49.000 He's admitting that just because he was taken alive, she used prejudice and stereotypes to categorize him as a violent white man.
00:04:00.000 But this sort of bigotry and this sort of over-racialization of every single incident is intentional.
00:04:08.000 Barack Hussein Obama, the former president of the United States, came out and said that what happened in Boulder is because of racism and misogyny.
00:04:18.000 I'm paraphrasing.
00:04:20.000 That's the essence of his remarks.
00:04:24.000 Tucker Carlson went after Barack Obama last evening, calling him a racial arsonist.
00:04:31.000 Let's play tape.
00:04:33.000 More than any other contemporary American leader, Barack Obama is a racial arsonist.
00:04:38.000 He emerges at our most vulnerable moments to deepen the wounds that divide us.
00:04:42.000 He sows hate.
00:04:43.000 Today, Obama took a break from becoming one of the richest men in the world to issue a statement blaming racism and misogyny for today's killings.
00:04:51.000 So a guy who appears to be white shoots a group of white people, and Barack Obama calls it racism.
00:04:57.000 How exactly does that work?
00:04:59.000 Can you speak slowly and tell us?
00:05:02.000 Tucker Carlson is a political poet.
00:05:04.000 I don't say that lightly.
00:05:05.000 His ability to make arguments in concise, precise, and memorable ways is one of the greatest skiffs I've seen in the history of cable television.
00:05:16.000 And that's why the activist media hates him so much.
00:05:18.000 They don't hate him because he's allegedly racist or any of that.
00:05:22.000 They know that Tucker Carlson isn't.
00:05:24.000 Instead, they hate him because he's able to synthesize very big ideas in 30-second soundbites.
00:05:32.000 Barack Obama is a racial arsonist.
00:05:36.000 So I'm reading this New York Times article, and it basically says that we're trying to find a motive for the shooter.
00:05:43.000 I mean, this is almost like a Monty Python SNL skit.
00:05:46.000 Ahmad al-Awi Alyssa, with 10 counts of first-degree murder, which in Colorado carries a penalty of life imprisonment without parole.
00:05:55.000 Law enforcement officials, say Mr. Alyssa, have been armed with a handgun and military-style semi-automatic rifle and was wearing an armored vest when he carried out the attacks in the King Superstore in Boulder's Table, Mesa neighborhood.
00:06:08.000 And then the byline of the story is: authorities seek a motive.
00:06:15.000 They're never slow to seek a motive when it's not a radical Islamic fundamentalist killing Americans.
00:06:22.000 No, you see, in Atlanta, despite the evidence pointing to the contrary, they said this must be racially motivated, even though we know it hasn't been.
00:06:32.000 You see, the Democrats are uninterested in governing.
00:06:35.000 They do not want to pass any sort of public policy measures that benefit Americans or improve the American way of life.
00:06:43.000 Instead, they are solely focused on sowing a racial division in our country.
00:06:49.000 And that's exactly what Barack Obama did when he released his statement.
00:06:54.000 And that's what the New York Times is doing.
00:06:56.000 Now, are we going to now have a robust conversation on Islamic fundamentalism in our country?
00:07:02.000 Do you remember the San Bernardino shooter?
00:07:04.000 Was it six years ago, five or six years ago?
00:07:07.000 He was also an Islamic fundamentalist.
00:07:10.000 Are we going to talk about our immigration policies as a result of this?
00:07:14.000 Of course not.
00:07:15.000 So now that the racial twist to this incident and this atrocity no longer is an option, they are now going for the gun control twist.
00:07:29.000 They are now going to try to create a national gun confiscation debate around this.
00:07:35.000 And this is predictable.
00:07:36.000 We've gone through this before, and we're going to win this argument.
00:07:42.000 I was pleased to see Senator Kennedy from Louisiana draw the line in the sand, cut 30.
00:07:52.000 But you don't stop drunk drivers by getting rid of all sober drivers, which is what many of my Democratic friends want to do with respect to the Second Amendment.
00:08:03.000 In my judgment, we do not need more gun control.
00:08:07.000 We need more idiot control.
00:08:10.000 It's well said, Senator Kennedy.
00:08:12.000 And I can't forget also the Pulse Nightclub, which was also done by an Islamic fundamentalist.
00:08:17.000 Also, this shooter in Boulder, Colorado hated Donald Trump, posted favorable articles about Ronan Farrow and his journalistic work, was a big fan of the Washington Post.
00:08:29.000 So all of a sudden, are we now going to do the guilt by association thing with the entire activist media that does that to us every single day?
00:08:36.000 Of course not.
00:08:36.000 That would be unfair.
00:08:38.000 But according to their own book of standards, the activist media inspired the shooter to go out and kill people.
00:08:44.000 You go look at his social media feed of which Facebook was very quick to delete, very quick to delete.
00:08:50.000 He was anti-Trump, anti-American, pro-Islamic fundamentalist, and also read the Washington Post quite often, shared their articles.
00:09:03.000 Joy Reed is trying to frame the debate for gun confiscation.
00:09:08.000 She had some fool on, I don't know who this is.
00:09:10.000 This goes to show that Joy Reed has no understanding or appreciation of the United States Constitution, what it says, its intention, and what it seeks to achieve.
00:09:22.000 Play tape.
00:09:23.000 The NRA tried to tweet out today thinking they were dropping the mic, tweeting out the text of the Second Amendment.
00:09:28.000 The text of the Second Amendment includes the words well-regulated, and it talks about militias.
00:09:32.000 It is irrelevant to gun reform from what is being talked about in places like in Congress, in the United States Senate, and in the House.
00:09:41.000 Would you like to see the United States Senate get rid of the filibuster in order to pass what like 70% of even Republicans want, universal background checks?
00:09:49.000 Do you think that the Senate should just dead the filibuster so that they can actually pass it?
00:09:54.000 Joy Reed's not a very smart person, and so she has a cable television show.
00:09:58.000 For what reason, I don't know.
00:09:58.000 And by the way, if you go look at Joy Reed's history, you want to talk about cancel culture?
00:10:03.000 Go look at Joy Reed's bigoted past, where she posted anti-Semitic, anti-gay posting on her website, and she said she was hacked.
00:10:11.000 And how does she get rewarded?
00:10:13.000 By being an angry person on a 7 p.m. slot saying absolute foolish nonsense.
00:10:17.000 And in the coming segments, I'm going to build out the constitutional argument of what does well-regulated militia mean?
00:10:24.000 Who was a militia person back when the Constitution was written?
00:10:27.000 You see, to be an originalist, you must take the context of what the founding fathers intended.
00:10:33.000 And I always get such a chuckle out of this because the left, they hate the Constitution.
00:10:39.000 They want to put it through a shredder.
00:10:40.000 And all of a sudden, they're trying to lecture us on originalist, textualist, constitutional intent, as if they actually care about what the Constitution aims to achieve.
00:10:49.000 I saw some images on Fox News the other day, and I just took a pause and I asked a very obvious question because we've been seeing these images on social media of the border jumpers and the illegals that are wearing these shirts that say Biden let us in.
00:11:04.000 And I took a quick pause.
00:11:06.000 I said, wait a second, who's paying for these t-shirts?
00:11:09.000 On the live stream, let's try to get a picture of this if we can, just so the people that are watching, they can have an understanding of this.
00:11:15.000 You've probably seen these images.
00:11:17.000 And so Business Insider, a couple of days ago, came out with this story.
00:11:22.000 Migrants waiting at the U.S.-Mexico border have been photographed wearing t-shirts that say Biden let us in.
00:11:28.000 And I read this entire article by Business Insider, and I even read the article by the Wall Street Journal, but no one asks the most obvious question.
00:11:37.000 Who is actually behind the logistics of designing, paying for, and printing these t-shirts for these people on the southern border?
00:11:44.000 That's a very important question.
00:11:47.000 And it's not just, oh, it's a couple hundred dollars here.
00:11:51.000 You're talking about a massive volume of a public relations stunt to have people possibly illegally enter into our country.
00:11:59.000 So you look at this picture here, and they're all on their knees.
00:12:02.000 And it says, Biden, please let us in, kneel and pray at the U.S.-Mexico border with the Biden logo actually in it.
00:12:11.000 And it just strikes me: how does that one journalist in the country find this to be an interesting story?
00:12:19.000 That's a pretty compelling case, isn't it?
00:12:22.000 That you have some NGO, some non-government organization, there it is right there in the live stream, that would say, Who's paying for these t-shirts?
00:12:30.000 And it's a broader question of: do we have a network that is subsidizing, that is encouraging illegal border entry into our country?
00:12:41.000 The answer is yes.
00:12:42.000 If you look at the research and if you look at the amount of nonprofit groups where their mission is to assist illegal border entry into the country, it will stun you.
00:12:53.000 And the fact the activist media isn't covering it, it's not surprising, but it's so obvious.
00:13:01.000 So, why would a U.S.-based nonprofit get involved in this sort of work?
00:13:07.000 Here are some of them that do this: obviously, the ACLU, United We Dream, the American Immigration Council, the National Immigration Law Center, the Florence Immigrant and Refugee Rights Project, and International Rescue Committee.
00:13:21.000 They are all NGOs, non-government organizations, that sometimes receive government funding and private money from George Soros and Bill and Melinda Gates and the multi-trillionaire class to subsidize illegal entry into our country, to subsidize lawlessness.
00:13:39.000 This is more than a massive public scandal, and it's right in front of us.
00:13:45.000 And yet, we're supposed to accept the fact that 200 prosecutors go to work every single day in New York while violent crime is going up, by the way, to investigate Donald Trump's taxes.
00:13:57.000 There are 300, I'm sorry, there are hundreds of nonprofits, groups, and churches, mostly Catholic, with billion-dollar budgets that are involved in eliminating America's borders and trying to create a global governance.
00:14:11.000 They're aided by your corporations, they're aided by Silicon Valley CEOs and the Hollywood elites.
00:14:18.000 Our southern border is being delegitimized by our own dollars.
00:14:23.000 Have you ever seen a case of a superpower that so voluntarily wishes to be taken over by other cultures and other countries?
00:14:32.000 That's what's happening right now on the southern border.
00:14:36.000 And Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, it's not that they won't even admit that anything's happening on the southern border, they won't even visit the southern border, but they like what's happening on the southern border.
00:14:45.000 You see, these groups that are sending out these shirts that literally say Biden let us in, handing them to these people that want illegal entry into our country, that's perfectly fine.
00:14:57.000 Meanwhile, the activist press are relentless in investigating and looking into anything on the center right of our country.
00:15:07.000 The estimated cost of resettling these people over five years is over $8.8 billion.
00:15:15.000 The New York Times, the Washington Post, the Huffington Post BuzzFeed, they don't do any investigation into the flow of foreign nationals into our country and the subsidizing of it.
00:15:28.000 That is subsidizing law breaking.
00:15:32.000 That's subsidizing the deterioration of American sovereignty.
00:15:36.000 It's one of the most obvious issues that's happening in our country.
00:15:40.000 The question is: who's paying for the t-shirts?
00:15:44.000 That's something that should be repeated by every single Republican in Congress and on television.
00:15:50.000 Who's paying for these t-shirts?
00:15:53.000 Where'd they come from?
00:15:55.000 It's against the law to subsidize and support the act of breaking a law.
00:16:03.000 You can make a conspiracy charge against it, but instead, you get lifted up as if you're doing the act of the generous and benevolent left-wing activists in our country.
00:16:18.000 Everybody's mom always said, eat all of your vegetables.
00:16:21.000 Even as adults, we still have excuses why we don't eat them.
00:16:24.000 People say they don't taste nice.
00:16:25.000 It's trouble to prepare.
00:16:27.000 Your mom wanted you to eat your fruits and veggies because she knew that's how we stay and get healthy.

00:17:16.000 There's a new article at Refinery 29.
00:17:19.000 I got a push notification on this article on Apple News, which, by the way, Apple gets a complete hall pass at times that they don't deserve when it comes to how they're pushing certain news articles into the mainstream and into the zeitgeist, into people's devices.
00:17:41.000 And this is the article: scared for life to go back to normal, you're not alone.
00:17:48.000 Now, we predicted this on our program.
00:17:50.000 We predicted that people are going to want to stay locked down, that people are going to want to remain in a position of being taken care of.
00:17:58.000 It says, quote, earlier this month, President Biden announced that all American adults will be eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine by May 1st.
00:18:08.000 Continues by saying, almost immediately, conversations about restaurants people would visit, what outfits they would wear, picked up with a new urgency.
00:18:18.000 But what if you're too scared to RSVP?
00:18:21.000 Elena Nikolau, 26 years old, explains, quote, so now that it may soon be over, I should be the one talking about putting on a bikini and walking outside, but I'm not.
00:18:36.000 Quote, I often feel the need to pretend I'm more excited than I am, says Chicago-based journalist Emma Sarin Webster, 35 years old.
00:18:43.000 Quote, inside, I'm feeling all sorts of mixed up about it.
00:18:47.000 Even just seeing people on social media gets me so triggered.
00:18:52.000 It's what she says right here in the article.
00:18:54.000 It triggers her.
00:18:55.000 So let me just say this to the world.
00:18:57.000 We've been living in normal, at least I have, since last May.
00:19:01.000 We've done over 150 live events across the country.
00:19:04.000 I've traveled over 40 states.
00:19:07.000 Things are fine.
00:19:09.000 If you're under the age of 30 and you're think like this, you have been propagandized.
00:19:14.000 Do you know what's so interesting?
00:19:16.000 I actually find that some young people are actually more worked up about the virus than certain old people.
00:19:22.000 It's because we're creating the softest generation in American history.
00:19:26.000 There's a lot of different reasons for that.
00:19:27.000 We've talked about that in our program last week.
00:19:30.000 It's the feminization of our country, quite honestly.
00:19:33.000 And we have the weakest men that I have ever seen.
00:19:36.000 Actually, a good exception to that is we're in Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kentucky.
00:19:40.000 It's still some good Midwestern culture of against the feminization of our country.
00:19:47.000 But it continues by saying, and this is an article that was push-notified to almost every iPhone across the country.
00:19:53.000 Are you scared to go out?
00:19:55.000 Let me just be very clear: liberty is hard.
00:19:58.000 Fear is normal.
00:20:00.000 It's what being wise and being brave has always been the story of what has made Western civilization different.
00:20:07.000 And by the way, once things reopen, you can stay at home.
00:20:11.000 No one's forcing you to leave your house.
00:20:13.000 You could have agoraphobia.
00:20:15.000 You know what agoraphobia is?
00:20:17.000 Fear of leaving your home.
00:20:20.000 It continues by saying that she feels Brooklyn-based student and freelance journalist Shelby Hall feels the same.
00:20:27.000 Quote, this time with myself and those closest to me has brought out more of my drive and relentless passion.
00:20:32.000 I wouldn't want to go away when things go back to normal.
00:20:35.000 She adds that her common schedule of working nine to five makes her feel like her life is boring.
00:20:41.000 It continues by saying that more adult children have moved back with their parents than ever before.
00:20:48.000 One way to gain that courage is to try to construct new social boundaries for yourself.
00:20:53.000 Dr. Hung suggests.
00:20:56.000 This is so evil.
00:20:57.000 I want you to hear this.
00:20:58.000 Shelby Dewees, she says that she's looking forward to hugging her parents and sister when this is all over.
00:21:06.000 You're trying to tell me you haven't hugged your, you haven't seen your parents and your sister in the last year.
00:21:09.000 What's wrong with you?
00:21:10.000 You're 28 years old.
00:21:13.000 You've been self-isolating and they've been self-isolating.
00:21:16.000 If you got the virus, it would be like the immaculate inoculation.
00:21:23.000 28 years old, she hasn't seen her parents in a year.
00:21:27.000 But then she confides with Refinery 29 that there are some interactions she's very nervous about, quote, small talk in elevators at parties and during lunch at my workplace, and a few of the many instances that would always stir up my anxiety even before the pandemic.
00:21:41.000 Now that it's been just a year since I've had practice in this, I'm not looking forward to readjusting.
00:21:45.000 That's right.
00:21:46.000 Let's just keep you away from other human beings.
00:21:48.000 That is the solution, according to Refinery 29.
00:21:51.000 Quote, I have not socialized with anyone face to face except for my husband and my two pet rabbits for a year.
00:21:56.000 Yeah, this is a marriage that's going to last.
00:21:57.000 I'm so grateful that I have been able to work from home safely and that an end in sight for this deadly pandemic.
00:22:03.000 But I'm also fearful that many of the things I miss going to group fitness classes, volunteering dinner parties, board game nights will be excruciatingly difficult.
00:22:10.000 Why?
00:22:12.000 What do people even talk about?
00:22:14.000 I don't know what books they're reading, not if the virus is raging in your recent county.
00:22:20.000 Hall is also worried about this return to socializing.
00:22:23.000 Quote, I've always been a homebody, but I've grown to treasure it all the more.
00:22:27.000 I just don't know how I'll be comfortable out in the world.
00:22:29.000 You understand what we've done here?
00:22:31.000 We have created permanent anxiety and stress to an entire generation that largely should not have been concerned about the Chinese coronavirus.
00:22:41.000 This is social conditioning by the ruling class and the elites in this country.
00:22:46.000 And Dr. Fauci is responsible for this nonsense.
00:22:50.000 So where does this lead us?
00:22:52.000 What is the furthest conclusion of this?
00:22:54.000 And by the way, this is like a six-page article here that was pushed through Apple News.
00:22:59.000 Scared for life to go back to normal?
00:23:01.000 You're not alone.
00:23:02.000 We've been back to normal since May.
00:23:04.000 At Turning Point Action, we hosted a 3,000-person in-person event with no masks, no social distancing back in June.
00:23:11.000 We've hosted events all across the country.
00:23:12.000 We hosted our Student Action Summit in December.
00:23:16.000 It's a decision to be free.
00:23:17.000 Of course, there's costs.
00:23:19.000 We're here in beautiful Missouri right now.
00:23:22.000 We drove to the station this morning.
00:23:24.000 You know, over 50,000 people die on the road every single year.
00:23:27.000 It's a risk we were willing to take.
00:23:30.000 It continues by saying, as a recent college graduate trying to desperately be hired, I'm experiencing extreme anxiety about having to go back into the world of early 20-somethings on their path of success, says Amanda, who is 22, unemployed and currently living in Arizona with her parents.
00:23:46.000 Quote, as much as I hate it, the pandemic has acted like some sort of shield against the anxiety and scrutiny of not being where I need to be right now.
00:23:55.000 I'm dreading a lunch or coffee chat where we go around describing our jobs or even complaining about them.
00:24:01.000 You see what's happening here?
00:24:02.000 These people are basically admitting they've been given a gift to not mature, that they can be perpetual grown infants.
00:24:10.000 That's what she says here.
00:24:12.000 And this word anxiety keeps on getting repeated.
00:24:15.000 Another layer of post-pandemic social anxiety revolves around the fact that for many people, there is no way to simply flip a switch and suddenly feel completely safe partying.
00:24:24.000 I'm going to say something very controversial.
00:24:26.000 We overdiagnose this anxiety thing in our country.
00:24:29.000 We do.
00:24:30.000 Now, do some people have legitimate anxiety issues?
00:24:33.000 Of course.
00:24:34.000 We play into it far too much.
00:24:36.000 The article is another quote by this Webster person.
00:24:39.000 For the past year, we've been told to avoid other people, stay away from crowds, be extra aware of any possible signs of illness.
00:24:44.000 So now the idea of going into restaurants, socializing with groups of friends, indoors of all places, even walking around down crowded sidewalks just feels so daunting and dangerous.
00:24:53.000 It's a real quotes.
00:24:54.000 This person's 28 years old.
00:24:57.000 And it actually has gone to, it's actually very instructive to me because we've been living a free and open and happy life over the last 11 months because we know exactly what this virus is.
00:25:07.000 And if you get it, you take certain therapeutics, vitamin D, zinc, hydroxychloroquine.
00:25:15.000 Stay away from those you love.
00:25:17.000 You take proper precautions.
00:25:19.000 And you understand that there's a risk in life.
00:25:22.000 But life, a full life, is worth living, not being masked and living at home where I just get anxiety talking about my job.
00:25:30.000 A coffee chat where we go around describing our jobs or even complaining about them.
00:25:34.000 It says, it continues, perhaps though, because it's so hard to put life on pause, when did people manage to do it successfully?
00:25:41.000 Why would I want to press play again?
00:25:46.000 You know, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but if I wanted to create an entire generation that didn't want to be self-reliant, marry, and be adventurous into the world and get government subsidies and vote Democrat, I would do this.
00:25:59.000 Not saying that's what their intention was, but if that was my intention, this is what I would do.
00:26:04.000 Dr. Hung, who should be completely kicked out of any sort of decent circles, let me just tell you what he said.
00:26:10.000 For some, the pandemic has been a window into a different world of what could be.
00:26:16.000 In a normal world, you have these sets of expectations for yourself.
00:26:19.000 And then in a non-normal world, so to speak, you shift those expectations accordingly.
00:26:24.000 What helps us realize that the ones are setting those expectations, you can actually shift those expectations anytime.
00:26:30.000 Nicole, this woman, Nikalu, who's 28 years old, says that she doesn't think she's ready to go back into the world, that her social anxiety might be too much.
00:26:39.000 You understand what we've done here to an entire generation?
00:26:42.000 Oh, and it does say that some names have been changed in this article.
00:26:45.000 So, of course.
00:26:46.000 So I'll just call it person A or person B. Living in a free society and living with liberty is tough.
00:26:53.000 How do you create toughness, adversity?
00:26:55.000 We have created a most fragile, brittle generation in American history.
00:27:00.000 Instead of telling young people, look, you might get the virus.
00:27:04.000 You're most likely not going to die unless you're overweight and have underlying health conditions.
00:27:10.000 Go live a good life.
00:27:11.000 Don't be dumb.
00:27:12.000 Instead, we did the opposite.
00:27:14.000 We have propagandized and hypnotized young people in particular to believe that this virus is lurking around the corner and will destroy their life.
00:27:22.000 I can honestly say in the last year, I've had some of the greatest experiences of my entire life.
00:27:29.000 If I would have allowed the medical establishment, the propagandists, to dictate my human action and my behavior, I wouldn't have spoken over 50 churches over the last year.
00:27:40.000 I wouldn't have been able to meet hundreds of turning point USA leaders.
00:27:44.000 We would not have been able to host the president as we did in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:27:47.000 I wouldn't have been able to bring people to Jesus Christ like we did at churches across the country.
00:27:53.000 We wouldn't have been able to launch this radio show.
00:27:58.000 If we are acting like this, life is a very difficult endeavor.
00:28:03.000 You see, there's a deeper philosophical point being made here, which is that we have told young people that if you vote for the right politicians and you believe the right ideas, we can change the atmosphere around you to accommodate your wishes.
00:28:23.000 Instead, we should tell young people: life is a brutal exercise.
00:28:28.000 Make yourself tougher, make yourself wiser, go out in the world and make something of yourself.
00:28:36.000 What I read in this article right here is so incredibly disturbing about the current trajectory of our country that you have 26-year-olds that are saying that they're not even sure if they're ever going to leave the house again, that it gives them social anxiety.
00:28:51.000 And it tells me exactly what I have learned in the last year: people don't want to be free.
00:28:58.000 There's an attraction to having an excuse to be lazy and to be sedentary.
00:29:04.000 That's what the virus has given.
00:29:05.000 It's given people an excuse to not have to go out and conquer and create and be responsible for your actions.
00:29:11.000 Responsibility is hard.
00:29:14.000 It's time to open up the country fully and force people to be responsible again.
00:29:20.000 How many times have you seen these signs, especially in upper-middle-class neighborhoods?
00:29:24.000 Love is love.
00:29:26.000 Love everyone always.
00:29:28.000 If you remember during the gay marriage debates, that was one of the most compelling arguments, allegedly, from the gay marriage advocates.
00:29:35.000 Well, love is love.
00:29:36.000 Who are you to get in the way of that?
00:29:38.000 And something that Dennis Prager and many people that believe in traditional marriage said is: wait, well, wait a second, where does this stop?
00:29:45.000 And a prediction was made that polygamist-style relationships will be allowed very soon.
00:29:52.000 And of course, anyone who said that was immediately kicked off television and considered to be a slippery slope fallacy conspiracy theorist.
00:30:03.000 Well, right now, according to Breitbart.com, Cambridge, Massachusetts has now passed measures to recognize domestic partnerships of more than two people.
00:30:13.000 The Massachusetts City of Cambridge has put in a measure that recognizes domestic partnerships of more than two people, euphemistically referring to them as polyamorous families, which in practice means the sexual relationship between multiple adults in one household.
00:30:29.000 There's a picture of three men that are raising, looks like two children.
00:30:36.000 Continues by saying, There's a whole legal organization called the Polyamory Legal Advocacy Coalition, which gave input concerning the change in Cambridge.
00:30:47.000 No coincidence that this is where Harvard University is.
00:30:51.000 Harvard has no wisdom because they have no God, and they're only continuing in this quest of chaos.
00:31:01.000 The Christian Post says, quote, a domestic partnership in the city that is home to Harvard University is now defined as, quote, the entity formed by two or more persons who are not related and quote consider themselves to be a family.
00:31:16.000 See, this is what happens when you start to destroy traditions that have stood the test of time.
00:31:23.000 All of a sudden, well, why shouldn't marriage just be a group of people?
00:31:26.000 Why should a child be raised to believe that there's a man and woman raising them?
00:31:32.000 And if it's a daughter, it's a man who they one day want to emulate, who they will marry, and a mother who they will emulate to be, and vice versa if it's a son.
00:31:43.000 But no, according to Cambridge, Massachusetts, the polyamory legal advocacy coalition says that it hopes it will have, quote, a wave of legal recognition for polyamorous families and relationships in 2021.
00:31:59.000 Do you want to know why the conservative movement is becoming more socially conservative?
00:32:03.000 Because of garbage like this.
00:32:05.000 You want to know why people are now seeking tradition and institutions that do not change?
00:32:11.000 Do you want to know why people get so frustrated when conservatives even give one inch to the transgender nonsense?
00:32:18.000 It's because you start to see this steady moral erosion, the quest to destroy things that work, a war on natural law.
00:32:31.000 Ed Vida Gelanio, apologize if I mispronounced that, executive vice president of the American Family Association, said, quote, once you reject the biblical model for human sexuality, marriage, and family when it comes to homosexuality, there is no logical stopping place.
00:32:48.000 And he's right.
00:32:49.000 He continues by saying, polygamy and polyamory are acceptable.
00:32:54.000 Quote, this return to pagan sexuality began with a rejection of God and his word.
00:32:58.000 Unfortunately, for the people of Massachusetts and eventually the people of this nation, paganism leads to barbarism.
00:33:04.000 These fights are coming to you very soon.
00:33:07.000 And is love just love?
00:33:09.000 Or maybe the construct of what government needs to say is that the proper way for children to be raised are not by some sort of collective partnership with three men in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
00:33:21.000 That is not what our government should tolerate or stand for.
00:33:26.000 This is a social and moral decline that must be stopped now.
00:33:32.000 We should be unafraid to say that.
00:33:34.000 This is now going to spread all across the country.
00:33:38.000 Right now, Cambridge, Massachusetts has passed the measure to recognize domestic partnerships of more than two people.
00:33:44.000 You heard it here first.
00:33:45.000 It's coming all across the country.
00:33:49.000 She is one of the most powerful voices for faith, family, and for freedom.
00:33:53.000 Someone I know very well.
00:33:54.000 We had a lot of fun together for a couple of years at Turning Point USA, and she's doing awesome.
00:33:59.000 And she's a frequent guest of the show.
00:34:01.000 We have an upcoming campus tour.
00:34:03.000 It's Candace Owens.
00:34:04.000 And I want to tell you, Candace has joined the powerful lineup at the Daily Wire, great company, launching a new show where Talk Show meets late night.
00:34:12.000 She'll continue to call out leftist lies and the corruption of media and big tech.
00:34:17.000 So join Candace each week as she welcomes powerful voices to talk about the most critical issues, break down what's actually happening in our country.
00:34:26.000 And trust me, you're going to laugh a lot too.
00:34:28.000 Candace is unfiltered and quite honestly uncancelable.
00:34:32.000 Even as she says, all the things other on the right wing are afraid to say.
00:34:35.000 Candace is a dear friend.
00:34:37.000 She's a fighter.
00:34:38.000 She loves our country.

00:35:29.000 Let's go to Cut 29, Joy Reed talking about well-regulated militia.
00:35:34.000 It's really important to walk through this play cut.
00:35:36.000 The NRA tried to tweet out today thinking they were dropping the mic, tweeting out the text of the Second Amendment.
00:35:41.000 The text of the Second Amendment includes the words well-regulated, and it talks about militias.
00:35:45.000 It is irrelevant to gun reform from what is being talked about in places like in Congress, in the United States Senate, and in the House.
00:35:53.000 Would you like to see the United States Senate get rid of the filibuster in order to pass what like 70% of even Republicans want, universal background checks?
00:36:02.000 Do you think that the Senate should just dead the filibuster so that they can actually pass it?
00:36:07.000 First of all, Joy Reid doesn't know what she's talking about.
00:36:09.000 That's not a huge surprise.
00:36:12.000 So let's go to this phrase well-regulated militia.
00:36:15.000 What did that phrase mean when this was written?
00:36:18.000 Well, first of all, who was a militia?
00:36:21.000 So the sloppy argument is, well, a militia was obviously government forces.
00:36:25.000 That's not true.
00:36:26.000 A militia was anyone ages 18 and older as a man in the entire country.
00:36:33.000 That was considered to be the minute militia or the minute men who could be called upon at any moment's time to try and protect the homeland, try to protect against invaders, so on and so forth.
00:36:47.000 But let's read the entire Second Amendment as is.
00:36:52.000 But before we do that, we have to talk about that Justice Antonin Scalia rightly pointed out the Second Amendment refers to the right of the people.
00:37:02.000 And that when that language is used anywhere else in the Bill of Rights in the First or Fourth Amendments, it means that a right belongs to every individual as opposed to a collective with special properties such as a militia.
00:37:15.000 So you go back to how the sentence is actually written.
00:37:19.000 It says, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
00:37:24.000 That's known as the operative clause, whereas the well-regulated militia aspect of it is the prefatory clause, which is the gun regulators say that's the only reason for preserving the right to keep and bear arms, which is as opposed to one of the reasons.
00:37:40.000 That's a very important distinction.
00:37:42.000 There's a great article, Reason.com.
00:37:44.000 Brian Doherty wrote this.
00:37:46.000 And so when you go through the precedent of what the court has ruled on this, the most important ruling in recent memory was DC versus Heller, where the United States Supreme Court upheld the decision that owning a firearm was a constitutionally protected right.
00:38:04.000 Heller said that the government cannot enforce laws that prevent most Americans from possessing commonly used weapons in their homes for self-defense.
00:38:16.000 So Dr. Robert Cottrell, who was the editor of the book, Gun Control and the Constitution, he also went through and said that the words well regulated sometimes refer to proficiency and top-notch training.
00:38:32.000 He said, quote, this was written at a time when there was relatively little in the way of formal training and marksmanship on the part of armies and usually less on the part of militias.
00:38:42.000 Quote, the idea was that the familiarity gained with weapons in private pursuits would translate into a militia that could be mobilized when needed.
00:38:52.000 The entire idea is basically this.
00:38:54.000 The Second Amendment, as the founding fathers wrote it and intended it, and original intent means everything for those of us that are textualists, was that it doesn't mean well-regulated, meaning government-regulated.
00:39:09.000 It means that, first of all, the right of the people is the operative part of the sentence, shall not be infringed.
00:39:16.000 And who is the militia?
00:39:18.000 Basically, everyone is the militia.
00:39:21.000 So it goes back to a deeper point.
00:39:23.000 What is the intent of the Second Amendment?
00:39:25.000 Was the intent for hunting?
00:39:27.000 Was the intent for self-defense?
00:39:29.000 No.
00:39:29.000 The true intent of the Second Amendment was to fight back against potential government tyranny.
00:39:36.000 The intent of the Second Amendment was to have free people be able to protect all the other amendments.
00:39:42.000 Without the Second Amendment, there are no other amendments.
00:39:45.000 There is no First Amendment without the Second Amendment.
00:39:48.000 The Second Amendment is the amendment that protects every other right that we enjoy given to us by God.
00:39:55.000 And this is a debate that we have over and over again.
00:39:58.000 Senator Ted Cruz, Cut 31, said that every time there is a shooting, we play this ridiculous theater.
00:40:04.000 Play Cut 31.
00:40:05.000 And every time there's a shooting, we play this ridiculous theater where this committee gets together and proposes a bunch of laws that would do nothing to stop these murders.
00:40:19.000 What happens in this committee after every mass shooting is Democrats propose taking away guns from law-abiding citizens because that's their political objective.
00:40:28.000 But what they propose, not only does it not reduce crime, it makes it worse.
00:40:33.000 And unwokenarrative.com, who we have plugged a couple times on this program, debunks exactly what the media is saying.
00:40:42.000 Did you know that Colorado has some of the strictest gun laws in the country?
00:40:47.000 There are universal background checks.
00:40:49.000 They banned large capacity gun magazines.
00:40:51.000 They had red flag gun control laws.
00:40:54.000 They have boyfriend loophole that was closed, the gun show loophole that was closed, the mental adjudication, which prohibits firearm ownership, restraining orders prohibiting firearm ownership, an extended background check period, a state database for all background checks, and countless gun-free zones.
00:41:08.000 So one of the biggest arguments from the left is, well, we need a waiting period after you buy a weapon.
00:41:13.000 Well, this guy committed the murder a week after he bought the weapon.
00:41:17.000 So it wasn't like he just bought the weapon on the way to doing this atrocity.
00:41:21.000 So that wouldn't have any sort of application there.
00:41:24.000 But here's a deeper question.
00:41:27.000 If he was on the FBI watch list, why didn't they intervene?
00:41:31.000 You see, the Democrats should be focusing their attention on that question, not on a gun registry effort to try and potentially confiscate weapons from law-abiding citizens.
00:41:44.000 Now, Kamala Harris has come out and obviously said, well, I don't want to take your weapons.
00:41:49.000 I mean, come on.
00:41:50.000 Cut 27.
00:41:52.000 And I believe that it is possible.
00:41:55.000 It has to be possible that people agree that these slaughters have to stop.
00:42:02.000 And this is, again, reject the false choice and stop pushing it for sure.
00:42:06.000 Stop pushing the false choice that this means everybody's trying to come after your guns.
00:42:10.000 That is not what we're talking about.
00:42:13.000 So what are you talking about?
00:42:14.000 You're talking about a universal registry.
00:42:17.000 You're talking about restricting assault weapons, which is a made-up term altogether.
00:42:23.000 This is about coming after guns.
00:42:25.000 And remember, Democrats all but admitted it.
00:42:28.000 And in the next segment, we are going to play tape of Robert Francis O'Rourke.
00:42:32.000 We're going to play tape of leading Democrats that have admitted what their true agenda when it comes to firearms is.
00:42:38.000 So Senator Kamala Harris, I'm sorry, Vice President Kamala Harris, boy, it's hard to get used to that, isn't it?
00:42:44.000 I guess she's president Kamala Harris.
00:42:45.000 Is that right?
00:42:46.000 It's hard to get, I actually meant it was completely unintentional.
00:42:50.000 It was a slip, it was like a Freudian slip.
00:42:52.000 It just completely unintentional.
00:42:54.000 Senator, she acts, whatever she is, she is putting forward a false choice herself.
00:43:04.000 This has always been a dream of the Democrats.
00:43:06.000 Now, why do they want to take away weapons so badly?
00:43:09.000 You become easier to control as soon as your rights and your liberties disappear.
00:43:16.000 The Democrats have always wanted to implement a European social welfare state.
00:43:21.000 One of the main reasons why they can't is because Americans still, despite the safetyism craze that has spread across our country, we have had some reverence for certain liberties.
00:43:33.000 Going to church, worshiping, coming in contact with your creator, hopefully, or at least having a relationship with your creator through worship.
00:43:42.000 Firearms, owning private property.
00:43:45.000 Now, a lot of these rights were infringed upon the last year during the lockdowns.
00:43:50.000 But the reason why the gun grabbers fail time and time again is this is usually an issue where even establishment Republicans and grassroots Republicans and conservatives can unite behind.
00:44:02.000 Front page of the Epic Times, it says, Lindsey Graham, quote, the GOP will shut down the Senate if denied access to border facilities.
00:44:09.000 So Lindsey Graham basically admits they could shut down the Senate at any time.
00:44:12.000 So they should use that chip more often.
00:44:15.000 They're trying to pass HR1.
00:44:16.000 They're trying to pass HR 5.
00:44:18.000 I agree that you should be willing to use the tools at your disposal.
00:44:25.000 Senator Graham, you just admitted now that we can do something to pass to prevent the passage of amnesty, the passage of open borders, which too many corporate Republicans want to get done in our country.
00:44:38.000 Let's get to sound here.
00:44:39.000 Cut 32.
00:44:40.000 Ted Cruz continued by saying the other side never has any solutions.
00:44:46.000 The senator from Connecticut just said the folks on the other side of the aisle have no solutions.
00:44:50.000 Well, the senator from Connecticut knows that is false.
00:44:53.000 And he knows that's false because Senator Grassley and I together introduced legislation, Grassley Cruz, targeted at violent criminals, targeted at felons, targeted at fugitives, targeted at those with serious mental disease to stop them from getting firearms, to put them in prison when they try to illegally buy guns.
00:45:13.000 That's exactly right.
00:45:14.000 Instead, their solution is to try and prevent the further selling of other firearms.
00:45:22.000 And where do we get this idea from that all of a sudden Democrats want to confiscate weapons?
00:45:26.000 Did we just make that up?
00:45:28.000 Well, here's Robert Francis O'Rourke, the fake Hispanic Irishman from Texas.
00:45:33.000 He was commenting on the gun issue.
00:45:35.000 And remember, Joe Biden did joint events with Robert Francis O'Rourke.
00:45:38.000 He was called to be the soon-to-be gun czar of the White House.
00:45:41.000 He is platformed as a serious person, which he shouldn't be taking one, but I guess we have to take him seriously.
00:45:47.000 Play tape.
00:45:48.000 And in Odessa, I met the mother of a 15-year-old girl who was shot by an AR-15.
00:45:53.000 And that mother watched her bleed to death over the course of an hour because so many other people were shot by that AR-15 in Odessa in Midland.
00:46:01.000 There weren't enough ambulances to get to them in time.
00:46:04.000 Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.
00:46:08.000 We're not going to allow it to be used again.
00:46:11.000 We're going to take your AK-47.
00:46:13.000 If we can find a Kalishnikov anywhere in the country, we're going to take it.
00:46:16.000 Robert Francis O'Rourke has no idea what he's talking about whatsoever.
00:46:21.000 That's where we get this from.
00:46:23.000 And notice at the end of that video, what's so unique about that video?
00:46:26.000 The entire crowd applauds.
00:46:29.000 That's the Democrat base.
00:46:30.000 That's what they want.
00:46:31.000 And then all of a sudden they say, oh, no, you're dumb to think that we want to take your weapons away.
00:46:36.000 It's a leading Democrat.
00:46:37.000 And by the way, Robert Francis O'Rourke will never be Bobby Kennedy, despite his best attempts.
00:46:42.000 I was born for this.
00:46:44.000 That's what the front page of Rolling Stone would say.
00:46:46.000 Let's go to Cut 36, Rachel Maddow, on how Joe Manchin holds the fate of gun control, background checks, and the filibuster.
00:46:54.000 Now, this is really where it's all coming through.
00:46:56.000 The entire political conversation and the future of the country is coming down to Joe Manchin and Kirsten Cinema solely on the filibuster play tape.
00:47:06.000 If he alone changed his mind on this and decided that he really does care about this, that actually probably would be enough to get that one reform over the finish line.
00:47:18.000 If he changed his stance on the bill itself, if he found it in his heart to support background checks, given that and his stance on keeping the syllabuster rule in place so that majority votes don't count even for his own legislation, those two issues alone, Joe Manchin holds the fate of this in his hands.
00:47:38.000 And he promised this was an issue that moved him in tears as a parent, as a grandparent.
00:47:44.000 He promised that he could get it done.
00:47:48.000 He could get it done actually now.
00:47:52.000 If he wanted to.
00:47:54.000 Nothing like Rachel Maddow lecturing Joe Manchin for not being a good enough person.
00:47:59.000 That's what she was doing.
00:48:01.000 She was saying, Joe Manchin, you're not as good a person as I am, and you promised us that you take people's weapons away.
00:48:09.000 Your credit card company found suspicious charges on your card.
00:48:12.000 That's simple identity theft.
00:48:14.000 It's annoying, but they cover it.
00:48:15.000 The type of fraud you really need to worry about is home title theft, a devastating crime that takes you off your home's title, and you're not covered by insurance or most identity theft programs.
00:48:24.000 That's why you need home title lock.
00:48:27.000 Here's how easy it is for cyber criminals to get you: the title documents to our homes are always kept online.
00:48:32.000 The thief forges your signature on a quit claim deed stating you sold your home and now he's the owner.
00:48:37.000 Then he borrows money using your home's equity and leaves you in debt.
00:48:40.000 You won't know until late payment or eviction notices arrive.
00:48:43.000 The instant home title lock detects anyone tampering with your home's title, they help shut it down.
00:48:47.000 Let's get you protected today.

00:49:10.000 When people talk about the gun lobby, who is the gun lobby?
00:49:16.000 It's people.
00:49:17.000 It's not some sort of small backroom dealing cigar-filled room.
00:49:24.000 No, the gun lobby are the millions of legal gun owners in our country that follow the law.
00:49:33.000 You know that 8 million guns were sold last year alone?
00:49:35.000 8 million guns.
00:49:38.000 Most, by the way, to women and Asian Americans.
00:49:42.000 So this whole idea of the gun lobby is complete and total nonsense.
00:49:50.000 Okay, let's go to cut 41.
00:49:54.000 Joe Biden talking to a Detroit auto worker.
00:49:57.000 We're going to take away your AR-14, whatever this is, cut 41.
00:50:04.000 I'm not taking that gun away at all.
00:50:06.000 You need 100 rounds and you do it.
00:50:08.000 No, you take that.
00:50:09.000 I did not say that.
00:50:11.000 That's not true.
00:50:11.000 I did not say that video.
00:50:13.000 It's a viral video like the other ones that people have to do.
00:50:15.000 Say what I want.
00:50:18.000 Oh, he did it.
00:50:20.000 Wait, Hold up.
00:50:26.000 And so then he says, wait, I'm going to take away your AR-14.
00:50:29.000 He doesn't even know what that is.
00:50:31.000 Do you see how we've been cheated?
00:50:35.000 Just that encounter alone should have ended Joe Biden's run for the presidency.
00:50:39.000 Could you imagine in a previous time in political history where a former vice president gets face to face with a Michigan auto worker and starts screaming at him and says, AR-14, I am going to take those away?
00:50:51.000 That's where we get this from.
00:50:54.000 Cut 42, Joe Biden.
00:50:55.000 Remember him being on stage with Robert Francis O'Rourke, where he said, We're counting on you to take care of the guns.
00:51:01.000 Cut 42.
00:51:03.000 I'm going to guarantee you this will not last you see to this guy.
00:51:06.000 You're going to take care of the gun problem with me.
00:51:09.000 You're going to be the one that leads this effort.
00:51:11.000 I'm counting on you.
00:51:12.000 I'm counting on you.
00:51:13.000 We need you badly.
00:51:15.000 The country needs you.
00:51:15.000 The state needs you.
00:51:17.000 You're the best.
00:51:18.000 Thank you.
00:51:22.000 Saying to Robert Francis O'Rourke, otherwise known as Beto, we're counting on you.
00:51:27.000 We're going to take care of you.
00:51:30.000 We need you to take care of the gun issue.
00:51:33.000 Where Robert Francis O'Rourke says, hell yes, we're going to take away your AR-15s and your AK-47s, which very few people own AK-47s.
00:51:42.000 They own them probably as novelty antiques than anything else.
00:51:50.000 And I want to go back to this Rachel Maddow clip.
00:51:52.000 We don't have to play it again, but she's basically lecturing Joe Manchin on how he holds the fate of gun control in his hands.
00:51:59.000 Do you know what's starting to happen?
00:52:01.000 Democrats are starting to fight amongst each other.
00:52:04.000 It's beginning.
00:52:05.000 They passed their $1.9 trillion stimulus bill to subsidize inactivity.
00:52:09.000 And we are going to get to that because that's a very important story that I wanted to talk about today.
00:52:13.000 But you're starting to see Democrats, you're starting to see that the Democrat intelligentsia, who always want to be on the right side of the angels, like Rachel Maddow, fight amongst each other.
00:52:25.000 You're starting to see Rachel Maddow basically say Joe Manchin is a liar and not a good person.
00:52:32.000 We predicted this.
00:52:34.000 Their obsession, their pathological fixation on Donald Trump is coming to an end.
00:52:40.000 With Donald Trump focusing on his golf game and endorsing candidates here and there, Democrats are now having to wrestle with the harsh reality that they're in charge.
00:52:51.000 They control the House.
00:52:53.000 They control the Senate.
00:52:54.000 They control the presidency.
00:52:56.000 And people like Rachel Maddow, who have been waiting for this moment to put forward the revolution, she's looking around and she says, Joe Manchin, why don't you want to burn it all to the ground?
00:53:08.000 And that sort of struggle, that sort of, you could call it a Democrat civil war, is just beginning.
00:53:15.000 They're going to do this on HR1, HR5, gun confiscation.
00:53:18.000 And Kirsten Sinema and Joe Manchin are going to say, we are not going to break the filibuster for this.
00:53:24.000 Mitch McConnell has been great on the filibuster.
00:53:27.000 He is using the Democrats' words against them.
00:53:33.000 Let's go to Cut 24.
00:53:34.000 I want to play every cut for Mitch McConnell.
00:53:36.000 He's been very good on this.
00:53:37.000 Cut 24.
00:53:38.000 Senator Manchin and Senator Sinema have been rock solid.
00:53:41.000 They are opposed to getting rid of the legislative filibuster.
00:53:44.000 That's the essence of the Senate.
00:53:47.000 We could have done that when my party was in the majority.
00:53:50.000 President Trump actually asked us to.
00:53:53.000 I said, no, we were not interested in changing the fundamental nature of the United States Senate, which is designed on purpose to kill bad ideas or to reach a compromise so that you can reach that supermajority threshold.
00:54:05.000 It keeps America in the political center.
00:54:08.000 He's right.
00:54:09.000 And look, I'll be honest.
00:54:11.000 I was frustrated for a couple of years because we couldn't get big bills passed because we had the filibuster.
00:54:16.000 I was.
00:54:18.000 I was getting a little bit impatient, similar to Rachel Maddow.
00:54:21.000 But I was reminded by people that said, hey, Charlie, if we ever lose the Senate, you're going to be happy that we did not break the filibuster.
00:54:28.000 And I'm glad we didn't.
00:54:30.000 Now, the bad part of the filibuster in Mitch McConnell is right on this, but he doesn't understand why he's right.
00:54:37.000 It does make compromise necessary.
00:54:40.000 Just unfortunately, that compromise usually is really bad for American workers and good for corporate interests and for Democrat long-term policy objectives like open borders.
00:54:48.000 That's one thing that they can always agree on.
00:54:49.000 Endless wars.
00:54:50.000 It's one thing they can always agree on.
00:54:53.000 However, I think that would still be the case if we got rid of the filibuster.
00:54:55.000 Let's go to cut 25, where it says McConnell has not spoken to Joe Biden.
00:55:00.000 And it seems as if that Joe Biden is not interested in doing anything in the political center.
00:55:03.000 Before we play that tape, though, remember Joe Biden gave this long inaugural address about unifying the country and healing people.
00:55:11.000 I don't care what party you are.
00:55:13.000 Joe Biden is governing more radical than Woodrow Wilson ever did.
00:55:17.000 Play tape.
00:55:19.000 I haven't been invited to the White House.
00:55:21.000 So far, this administration is not doing anything on a bipartisan basis in the political center.
00:55:28.000 They'd be more than happy to pick off a few of our members and do what they would like to do.
00:55:33.000 But there's been no efforts whatsoever by the president or the administration to do anything in the political center.
00:55:41.000 I don't believe I've spoken with him since he was sworn in.
00:55:44.000 We had a couple of conversations before then.
00:55:47.000 They have not spoken since Joe Biden has been sworn in.
00:55:52.000 Trump talked to everybody always.
00:55:54.000 You can accuse Donald Trump of a lot of things.
00:55:56.000 Being not able to reach Donald Trump is not one of those things.
00:56:00.000 Donald Trump would take a call from Pelosi or Schumer at any hour, always trying to make a deal, always trying to do what's best for the American people.
00:56:06.000 Joe Biden has not spoke to Mitch McConnell.
00:56:09.000 Why?
00:56:09.000 Because Joe Biden is uninterested in governing in the best interest of our country.
00:56:13.000 Joe Biden is more interested in how college professors are going to write his presidency in a textbook 20 years from now.
00:56:20.000 He wants the textbook to be written that Joe Biden did what Barack Obama never could.
00:56:24.000 He decided to stand up against the evil Republicans, and he drew a line in the sand.
00:56:32.000 One of the arguments is that the filibuster is somehow racist.
00:56:36.000 You're going to hear this a lot, that the filibuster is rooted in the protection of Jim Crow.
00:56:41.000 In fact, Barack Obama said that the filibuster was a Jim Crow relic.
00:56:49.000 Mitch McConnell had a great response to this, cut 26.
00:56:53.000 Elizabeth Warren has said that the filibuster is based on racism.
00:56:57.000 Is it?
00:57:00.000 No, the filibuster predates the debates over civil rights.
00:57:04.000 It goes back to the beginning of the country.
00:57:06.000 The filibuster started well before we got into the civil rights debates that have occurred off and on over the history of the country.
00:57:15.000 So the derivation of the filibuster was not related to race or civil rights.
00:57:22.000 Never has been.
00:57:23.000 And that's Elizabeth Warren saying, we have our moment.
00:57:27.000 We must seize total and complete power.
00:57:30.000 That's why HR1 was literally the first bill they introduced in the House.
00:57:35.000 They are trying to fundamentally change the nature of how we do elections in our country, change the way that we elect our leaders.
00:57:45.000 HR-1 is so destructive to the future of our republic.
00:57:48.000 And it's up to Joe Manchin and Kirsten Sinema, two Democrats, to protect the filibuster.
00:57:54.000 And both parties can look out for each other.
00:57:56.000 If Republicans win back the Senate in 2022, which I think is very likely, then the Republicans are going to keep the filibuster intact.
00:58:04.000 But Chuck Schumer is now wrestling with the question: am I able to fundamentally transform America in our image now?
00:58:15.000 Or do I want to play this game where we're always kind of going within the political middle?
00:58:21.000 It's a big choice for Chuck Schumer.
00:58:23.000 But Rachel Maddow is getting impatient.
00:58:25.000 You see, the radicals and the revolutionaries, they believe that this is their moment, that this is their moment to fundamentally transform America.
00:58:36.000 Barack Obama foreshadowed this nearly 13 years before, where he said, we are just days away from fundamentally transforming America.
00:58:45.000 You see, the Constitution spreads authority over space, geographic space, and time.
00:58:51.000 You cannot take over the country in less than six years because one-third of the Senate is up every six years.
00:58:59.000 Democrats are running out of patience.
00:59:01.000 They're running out of time.
00:59:02.000 They know that Republicans are probably going to take back the House in 2022 unless they change the way we do elections.
00:59:08.000 They know that Republicans are poised to win seats in the United States Senate.
00:59:14.000 So their only solution to this to keep themselves in power is to change the way that people get power in America.
00:59:24.000 Fair and free elections, forget that.
00:59:26.000 They want to register people that are on the prison bureau rolls, register people that are on the DMV rolls.
00:59:32.000 That's what HR1 would do.
00:59:33.000 And it would subsidize a massive mail-in voting takeover of our entire country.
00:59:42.000 Republicans are being very firm on this.
00:59:45.000 And we said this on our show repeatedly.
00:59:47.000 The entire public policy future of the United States Congress and with it the White House and with it our country is wholly dependent on two Democrat senators, Kirsten Sinema and Joe Manchin.
01:00:01.000 Joe Manchin has just come out and said he's not voting for the Democrats' background bill in the House of Representatives, basically killing it, dead on arrival.
01:00:10.000 Eight Republicans voted for gun confiscation and gun registration in the House of Representatives, including Adam Kinzinger in Illinois.
01:00:21.000 You see, the Senate is supposed to be a slow-moving deliberative body, not a fast-paced, instant reaction institution.
01:00:32.000 And I know it drives a lot of us nuts when we are in power, but those slow-moving precedents, that tradition of deliberation, that might be what saves us from these radicals that have a moment of power.
01:00:50.000 We got an email at freedom at charliekirk.com from Janine.
01:00:53.000 Hey, Charlie, you discussed hiring American workers on your podcast yesterday.
01:00:56.000 I totally agree with you, by the way.
01:00:57.000 Subscribe to our podcast.
01:00:59.000 But wanted to point out a situation my husband ran into.
01:01:02.000 My husband typically orders a trailer load of pine needles to mulch our property.
01:01:07.000 When my husband called the vendor to place his yearly order, he was told that the order would not be able to be fulfilled this year due to a lack of labor to harvest the needles.
01:01:17.000 The vendor told my husband he had a lot of pine needles and lots of orders, but no one to harvest them.
01:01:23.000 I've heard the same side of thing from a lot of my friends.
01:01:24.000 I totally agree with you at hiring American.
01:01:26.000 What do you think about the situation?
01:01:28.000 It seems our vendor is competing with our government welfare system.
01:01:30.000 Bingo, Janine, you hit it on the head at the end of your email.
01:01:34.000 This $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, and before it, the $1 trillion stimulus bill, and before it, the $4 trillion continuing resolution, and before it, the $2 trillion stimulus bill, basically, if you're working right now, you have to be able to justify that you have a higher wage than sitting at home and just collecting a government check, not to mention the $1,400 cash that we send in, the PPP loans.
01:01:55.000 We have such a massive influx of taxpayer money.
01:01:58.000 And we don't, by the way, it's not even taxpayer money.
01:02:00.000 It's fiat currency borrowed and leveraged against the future of our country and future generations.
01:02:07.000 This is a massive issue happening right now.
01:02:10.000 I have opposed every single stimulus measure, every single one of them.
01:02:13.000 And a lot of corporate Republicans and even some grassroots Republicans say, Charlie, government must do something.
01:02:18.000 No, I am a populist conservative through and through, but I think stimulus bills never have their intended impact at all, especially when you're voluntarily locking down the economy.
01:02:33.000 I was a harsh critic against the lockdowns from the beginning.
01:02:35.000 We should have fully reopened the country.
01:02:37.000 No mask mandates, no social distancing a month after we knew what we were dealing with.
01:02:41.000 By mid-April, the country should have been fully open.
01:02:43.000 We should have said, be brave, be wise, take responsibility for your actions.
01:02:47.000 If you're old, over the age of 60, stay at home, open the schools, enjoy your life.
01:02:53.000 Now, that's a controversial position because liberty is hard and it's easier to cower behind a safetyism-type perspective.
01:03:02.000 One of my good friends just messaged me: it seems as if people have a socialism buzz right now.
01:03:08.000 It's as if they're enjoying the free flow of capital, they're enjoying sitting at home and doing nothing.
01:03:14.000 And now, if you're working, you are going to be in a vast minority of our country.
01:03:19.000 And if you happen to be a job creator, then you're going to be extra penalized because now Joe Biden wants to pass another $3 trillion stimulus bill.
01:03:28.000 That's right, another $3 trillion and tax anyone that is earning more than $200,000 a year.
01:03:37.000 That's Joe Biden's solution to all of this.
01:03:41.000 This is a more fundamental point.
01:03:42.000 And I think that we, as conservatives, must be very clear about what public policy measures we want to support.
01:03:49.000 We want to subsidize things that we want to see more of, and we want to tax things we want to see less of.
01:03:54.000 Family creation and having children, we should encourage.
01:03:57.000 Work, we should encourage.
01:03:59.000 Work is a good thing.
01:04:02.000 Sitting at home is not a good thing.
01:04:04.000 Being sedentary is not a good thing.
01:04:07.000 Especially when we look at what I call the muscular class of our country, people that work with their hands.
01:04:12.000 So I read this email from Janine, and thank you again for the email at freedom at charliekirk.com.
01:04:18.000 Pine needles to mulch our property.
01:04:21.000 Can't find anyone to do that.
01:04:23.000 Why would you?
01:04:24.000 You would want to just sit at home and watch Netflix.
01:04:28.000 You can get full unemployment, $1,400.
01:04:31.000 Why would you want to get all sweaty to have to go earn a wage when you could be paid literally cash to sit at home?
01:04:39.000 So what's going to end up happening is Joe Biden is going to have to have a decision, and Democrats don't want to work with Republicans on this.
01:04:45.000 Are they going to continue the persistent subsidy of this?
01:04:49.000 But Democrats know why they're, you know, why Democrats are doing this.
01:04:52.000 Democrats are doing this because they want to bring in another 10 million people into our country because they're the ones that aren't yet on the government assistance.
01:04:59.000 They'll vote their way and they'll be the ones to mulch the property.
01:05:02.000 That's why they're doing this.
01:05:04.000 Subsidize the current Americans to make the labor market looks like we need more workers when we don't bring in those people and then it accomplishes a political objective for them.
01:05:14.000 That's what they want.
01:05:18.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
