00:01:36.000We touched on this a little bit last week, but we cannot take our eye off how there has been this sudden shift nationally of the FBI targeting and raiding Trump officials, Trump allies, and Trump voters.
00:02:47.000So, Russ, walk us through what happened last week with Jeff.
00:02:51.000Well, Jeff's house was raided in a pre-dawn manner.
00:02:55.000The Department of Justice came to him, over a dozen officials, law enforcement officials, including those from Fairfax County Police Department.
00:03:03.000They were there to raid his house, to search it, to take his electronics.
00:03:20.000And for those of you who are following the news like you do, Charlie, you know that that coincided with the fact that he was going to be the focus of the January 6th hearings, the sham hearings going on on Capitol Hill.
00:03:32.000So on a very in the same week that all of the exposure was designed to show that he was at the forefront of a law enforcement investigation to show that this is the person that they were trying to demonize as part of these hearings.
00:03:46.000And of course, this is just follow-on from Peter Navarro.
00:03:51.000Other GOP officials that were trying to get a handle on an election investigation were the brunt of similar targeting last week.
00:04:00.000I know that the situation with Jeff better than the others, but this is the weaponization, this is the criminalization of politics that we have not seen in this country in quite some time, if ever.
00:04:14.000It is something that we all need to stand up and have patriots across the country articulate the concerns and not let us go to this dark place.
00:04:55.000We tried to get a sense, or Jeff's lawyers tried to get a sense as part of the warrant, and they have not revealed what the legal claim is there.
00:05:06.000Obviously, the left believes that he was up to no good in trying to investigate what millions of people across this country, and it has now been documented that there was widespread fraud in the last election.
00:05:19.000And Jeff was one of the few people at the Department of Justice, I would say probably the only one, that said, we have a problem here.
00:05:26.000The president wants to investigate it to make sure we know and get our arms wrapped around a problem.
00:05:34.000And as a result, he felt he faced the opposition of the career-first lawyers that were surrounding him.
00:05:43.000And we need public officials that are willing when they are asked to serve by a president of the United States who wants to go along with his commitments to the American people.
00:05:52.000We need public officials that are not scared about not getting their next job because they're unwilling to do their current job.
00:06:00.000And that's one of the reasons why we are thrilled to have hired him at the Center for Renewing America because we want to provide a platform for people like Jeff.
00:06:08.000And I think, you know, where do we go from here, Charlie?
00:06:10.000I think that's one of the places that we can do in the next weeks and months is we've got to make sure that Republicans who are scared to talk about election integrity, Republicans who are scared of their shadow with regard to January 6th and are still living in the fetal position as if somehow the conservative movement did something wrong as a result of that.
00:06:33.000And we don't need to be able to move forward and be able to defend those who were working at the Department of Justice was never at January 6th to be able to defend someone like Jeff Clark.
00:06:45.000We need everyone to stand up and say, you know what?
00:07:21.000It's like if you're on the chessboard, they try to go after you.
00:07:23.000So longer term, like what is the structural plan here besides just kind of voicing outrage?
00:07:29.000Yeah, the long-term plan is to structurally change it.
00:07:32.000We've got to deconstruct the state that is weaponized against the American people.
00:07:38.000As conservatives are no longer in power right now, now is the time to be building those plans, to be assessing exactly how to do this, to be able to seize these controls, these agencies, and to ensure that they can no longer be weaponized against the American people.
00:07:52.000So the Department of Justice cannot call parents who show up at concerned at school board meetings and say, you know, you're a domestic terrorist.
00:07:59.000So those are long-term reforms that we can articulate, we can propose, we can build the support for.
00:08:05.000Right now, though, is when people need to articulate their outrage because they can't arrest all the people that we have on our side.
00:08:21.000And again, even with the January 6th, if Republicans in Congress themselves would just stand up and not make this, you know, five, six Republican conservatives that go to the courthouse, that would not be able to stand.
00:08:35.000It is able to stand because the right is not unified to get out there and say this is unacceptable because the Republicans who serve in government, people like myself, are not out there and saying this is wrong and we're not going to allow this to stand.
00:08:51.000If the Republican side stands up en masse and says, this is not acceptable, it will not go on in the same sense that, yes, they are investigating parents for being domestic terrorists, but they have not gone to the extent to which they have actually put them in court.
00:09:11.000But if people stand up and say, this is not the America that we are living in, nor is it one that we will accept, we have a chance to change this before we have the opportunity to take back these agencies on behalf of the American people.
00:09:23.000I think we have to think creatively, though.
00:12:21.000And the TikTok social contagion, which again, I've said for quite some time, TikTok is a virus on society, and that no parent should allow their kid to first have a smartphone until they're 18.
00:12:31.000But I've lost that battle, and that's fine.
00:12:38.000But then, at the very least, don't allow to have TikTok on your kid's phone.
00:12:42.000There is no argument for that, period.
00:12:45.000And so, this kind of idea of transitioning and changing your gender has become glamorized and popularized.
00:12:53.000And as beautifully articulated in Matt Walsh's movie, What is a Woman?
00:12:58.000A lot of young girls, when they're 12, 13, or 14, they're going through body changes, hormones are raging, they're feeling things never felt before, and therefore they think incorrectly that they might actually be a man when, in fact, they are a girl becoming a woman.
00:13:16.000And this is not just some sort of isolated phenomenon.
00:13:19.000This is a widespread social contagion.
00:13:26.000In fact, they are being morally blackmailed by doctors and the pharmaceutical industry, where they say, oh, well, would you much, you know, would you rather have a dead daughter or a live son?
00:13:43.000It's moral blackmail, is what ends up happening.
00:13:47.000And Levine, born as Richard Levine, says that sexual reassignment surgery and puberty blockers for kids is a life-saving, medically necessary, age-appropriate, and critical tool.
00:14:00.000So the stated position of the Biden regime is that we need to have chemical castration for children because that's going to save their life.
00:14:10.000When in reality, a vast majority of these young ladies, and it's mostly young ladies, by the way, there's a fair amount of young men, but it's 70 to 80% young women.
00:14:20.000They need to be told by a figure, a father figure, and a motherly figure, you're going through puberty, and the anxiety that you might be experiencing will soon be over.
00:14:31.000And participating in irreversible damage of putting forth hormone blockers, puberty blockers, testosterone, and medication that we give rapists in prison is not a good or responsible decision.
00:14:50.000But the stated position of the Biden regime is children having social anxiety that are becoming adults, let's go fill them with more chemicals.
00:15:03.000Gender-affirming care is life-saving, medically necessary, age-appropriate, and a critical tool for health care providers.
00:15:13.000As a pediatrician, when it comes to making sure kids are healthy and happy, I know how important care that affirmed someone's true identity can be.
00:16:43.000But to then do irreversible damage to a 12 or 13-year-old is where we must draw the line.
00:16:50.000We need laws to say this will not happen in our country.

00:17:28.000It's downright disgusting and illegal if they hope to persuade Justice Barrett.
00:17:32.000But woke corporations are getting ready to use the dollars you spend to fund these extremists if the Supreme Court overturns Roe versus Wade.
00:17:40.000If you shop at places like Starbucks and Target, you can be sure they are giving your money to planned parenthood.
00:17:46.000So is it any wonder the new Gallup poll shows that the record-breaking 50% of Americans say that the U.S. has poor moral values?
00:17:53.000The poll also showed that the number of Americans who believe in God is at a historic low.
00:17:58.000Common sense tells us that these things are connected.
00:18:00.000The lies pushed by big tech, woke corporations, and our far-left government have begun to erode the morals and values of Americans by contradicting and assaulting what we know to be truth.
00:18:11.000They censor conservative voices and push views inconsistent with the long-held religious beliefs and eternal truth.
00:18:17.000That's why Second Vote is helping you to push back.

00:19:24.000Which is a formal partnership between your organization, Turning Point USA, and mine, America First Legal, to sue the daylights out of woke schools and woke corporations.
00:19:37.000And this is very simple, which is Turning Point USA, which is the meeting ground, the organizing space, the recruiting ground, the philosophical center of young patriotic Americans.
00:19:52.000They will be the plaintiffs, the ones who are the victims of this illegal, whether it's the DEI agenda, and your audience will know what that is, diversity, equity, inclusion, whether it be any woke policy at your school, at your workplace, the victims of it, and then we'll supply the lawyers and we'll pay all the legal bills.
00:20:12.000So what we're saying is to all of the incredible, amazing people in TPUSA is look around you.
00:20:23.000Look at the internships you're applying for.
00:20:25.000Look at your university career offices.
00:20:27.000I know that some are break, but that's exactly when people are out there looking for fellowships, internships, first jobs, maybe people who just graduated.
00:20:36.000Look at all of the programming at your university.
00:20:39.000And if your rights are being violated or you know of someone whose rights are being violated, pretty much all of this is violative of your constitutional rights in one way or another, critical race theory, all of it.
00:20:50.000Get in touch with us and we will partner together.
00:20:55.000We will get you the attorneys and we will sue.
00:20:59.000We will sue your employer, your future employer, or the corporation that's locked its doors to you because they don't like your skin color.
00:21:13.000We need each and every person who is in TPUSA, who is listening to this podcast today.
00:21:19.000Again, look around you, talk to your friends, talk to your family where your rights are being violated, where you have been a victim, where you have been deprived because of who you are or what you look like.
00:21:33.000Reach out to us and you can just go to our website at aflegal.org.
00:22:34.000Because we all know that, for example, critical race theory.
00:22:38.000Who are some of the people who are most passionately leading the charge against it?
00:22:44.000These are black families, Latino families, Asian families who are victimized by this horrific pedagogy that is completely racially essentialist, demeaning, denigrating, and Marxist.
00:22:59.000So if you're a student at a university and there's any kind of segregation, again, no matter which side of that segregation wall you're on, that's illegal.
00:23:09.000So if you attend a university, I guarantee you you have an office of diversity, equity, and inclusion or something that's similarly named.
00:23:19.000If you look at that programming, I can assure you that a very large portion of it categorizes people in a discriminatory fashion in a way that does not provide the equality of treatment under law that is mandated by, again, by federal civil rights statute.
00:23:37.000Radical gender ideology is another good example.
00:23:40.000Radical gender ideology has a lot of different, of course, applications in universities and workplaces today, but a lot of it violates religious liberty, violates the First Amendment, as well as, depending on its application, there's just more conventional civil damages that might apply.
00:24:03.000So let me ask you, how is it then that these programs pass the muster of the in-house council at a lot of these universities?
00:24:10.000Well, because our law firms have been totally captured by, that's the whole problem, been totally captured by the woke left.
00:24:17.000And so they are sanctioning conduct that is manifestly illegal, manifestly unconstitutional, not to mention unethical.
00:24:25.000I mean, you know, critical race theory, which is the intellectual fountainhead of all of this, is an ideology that at its core, for those of you who are even passingly familiar with it, mandates discrimination as its base requirement, right?
00:24:41.000So in other words, CRT's sort of core ideology is that equality is bad.
00:24:49.000Societal behavior has to be in some fashion discriminatory to achieve an end.
00:24:55.000So everything that grows out of that is illegal.
00:24:57.000Everything, whether it be, again, in the gender context, you know, if you have some programming at university that is geared specifically towards, to use their acronym, LGBTQIA plus, in a way that wouldn't be the same for, again, using their terminology for a cisgender heterosexual, right?
00:25:21.000That would be an example of discrimination that would be illegal.
00:25:25.000And these are all carried over into the workplace, too.
00:25:29.000And so if you have an environment in a workplace where, and this will also come into play for, again, a lot of the young people listening to this, I'll give you a very concrete example, Morgan Stanley.
00:25:42.000So Morgan Stanley has an internship program for college students that it builds as being a pathway to financial success in the financial sector.
00:25:56.000But you're only eligible for this internship if you are a very specific ethnicity or a very specific gender identity.
00:26:12.000So any student wanted to get that internship can sue.
00:26:15.000So, I mean, and for example, Capital Street Partners, major firm out of Boston, says that white men can only be hired by unanimous consent of a committee.
00:26:24.000I suppose my question is, Stephen, I'm doing it.
00:26:27.000Yeah, I'm going to do my best wording this, but if it's so obviously illegal, what you're saying, though, is that the woke left that have captured the in-house councils and captured these external law firms, do they know this is illegal and they just don't care?
00:26:41.000Or they just, I don't pretend to have smoking gun here.
00:26:45.000We'd all love it if we did, where I could say, you know, we've got, you know, we have evidence, we have emails that the lawyers that are authorizing this stuff know that it's illegal.
00:26:57.000But my instinct, just having been around enough lawyers in enough settings for long enough, my instinct is they know that it is.
00:27:07.000But just like the doctors who go along with the AMA's chemical castration policies, that their thought process is all have a seat at the table so I won't end up on the menu.
00:27:22.000But of course, the truth is for all collaborators with Marxism is that eventually the revolution will come for you too.
00:27:29.000Seat at the table so I don't end up on the menu.
00:27:31.000Boy, does that describe the Republican Party?
00:27:33.000So let me ask you, Stephen, though, you know, for other people that are listening, this applies to jobs, internships, colleges, and also private schools, if I'm not mistaken.
00:27:42.000According to civil rights legislation.
00:27:45.000Federal civil rights law, while the public university or the public college has an additional set of requirements towards neutrality in all settings than say a private school, racial discrimination is patently illegal in all settings.
00:28:09.000And so a private university can't say, as an example, well, we're only going to provide this career service to people of this particular skin color.
00:28:18.000And if you're not, you know, you're out of luck.
00:28:22.000I will also say that pretty much every private school in America gets truckloads of federal cash.
00:28:31.000And so there's also a lot of mythology about the idea of the truly private institution.
00:28:35.000The truth be private institutions, and I don't have a comprehensive list, but tend to mostly be schools like Hillsdale, who don't take federal money, as far as I'm aware.
00:28:47.000Hillsdale is the only one that carves it out.
00:28:49.000And even some of the more traditional conservative ones, they'll take federal money as it goes towards that.
00:28:53.000So in closing here, Stephen, this is a call to action mostly for young people, it sounds like, but I don't think it's limited to that for our national audience, right?
00:29:01.000If you're your national audience, mid-career workers, late-career workers, workers at every stage and age in their career, this is a call to be champions for civil rights.
00:29:21.000Your country needs you to help defeat this bigotry.
00:29:25.000Because if it's allowed to win and if we're allowed to become a society that has explicit formalized discrimination in every aspect of American life, then the American dream is dead.
00:29:38.000And I'll tell you this, a government that can decide whether you get a job or whether you get medicine, whether you get education based on your gender, sex, or skin color is a government and is a country that can take away any freedom and any right in any setting.
00:29:55.000And also, this includes health care as well.
00:29:59.000And I know that might not resonate with people, but there are places in America where they are administering health care based on racial preferences and based on quote-unquote equity agendas.
00:30:10.000A legal lawsuit against New York on that very issue.
00:30:12.000And so again, if you're seeing it in the healthcare context, whether you are a medical student or whether you are a patient, get in touch with us, please.
00:30:51.000I have a question that's tormented me for a long time, Taylor writes.
00:30:54.000If a Mexican national woman slips across the border and gives birth, her child is automatically an American citizen, and said child is protected by the Constitution.
00:31:02.000In cases of abortion, a born child is set aside to die.
00:31:28.000I do want to kind of reinforce the point here, which is that Congress never passed a law when it came to Roe versus Wade.
00:31:39.000They never passed a law making abortion the law of the land.
00:31:43.000And the way that Democrats describe Roe v. Wade, the way that they talk about it, they act as if Roe v. Wade, or they just call it Roe, was an act of Congress by using the legislative process.
00:31:57.000The reason why Alito and Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett and Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas, the reason they were able to repeal this, and they really don't think twice about it, is that they did not use they being the 1970s, 1980s abortion fanatics.
00:32:13.000They did not use the legislative process to be able to make this law, regardless of your opinions on abortion.
00:32:20.000Ours being very well known on this program.
00:32:22.000But Ruth Bader Ginsburg could not even defend Roe on legal or constitutional grounds.
00:32:26.000In fact, Ruth Bader Ginsburg for years was trying to tell Democrats, you guys better get this done in Congress because there will be a court one day that very well might overturn this ruling.
00:32:38.000And the ruling, what happened, and it was either the Warren Court or the Burger Court.
00:32:52.000And effectively, they nationalized the entire right.
00:32:56.000They created a new right of abortion and overturned all these other laws that had state-based abortion policies.
00:33:06.000And by the way, do not be surprised if Obergdefell next session gets brought up and gets overturned because they use the exact same precedent.
00:33:15.000I can never pronounce it, Oberfell, Obergdefell, whatever.
00:33:19.000Not exactly my strong suit of pronunciation of that.
00:33:23.000Okay, let's go to a piece of sound here that I wanted to get to.
00:33:30.000Amy Klobuchar, Cut 13 lays out a roadmap for Democrats getting 52 state seats in the Senate and codifying Roe v. Wade into law, play cut 13.
00:33:41.000And we can assure that women across America are going to be making decisions about their own health care instead of some government official or Ted Cruz.
00:33:51.000I just have to keep on repeating this point.
00:33:53.000I know it sounds so normy and so cliche, but where were these people on the vaccine mandate debate?
00:34:02.000Do they not understand the utter and transparent contradiction in everything they have been saying?
00:34:08.000Where in one breath, it's all about individual autonomy and sovereignty, and you could chart the course of your own medical decision as you see fit.
00:34:16.000And they just hours ago were, by the way, they're still firing people from the military right now for not taking an experimental gene therapy that they call a vaccine.
00:34:27.000And so at least be a little bit consistent.
00:34:30.000And just like the lack of awareness, Amy Klobuchar, yes, we want people to be able to make their own health care decisions.
00:34:35.000By the way, if you don't take the vaccine, you should be fired from your work.
00:34:40.000You see, this is one of the reasons why the abortion industry has lost so much ground.
00:34:49.000I believe the abortion advocacy organizations lost double-digit support when they did not come out and argue against mandatory vaccines.
00:35:03.000For months, I was not allowed to go into restaurants in Los Angeles, New York, or Chicago.
00:35:08.000I was not able to literally go into certain places because I didn't have a vaccine card.
00:35:15.000Members of the military are still being expelled because they did not take the vaccine.
00:35:22.000All the while, the people in charge of our society are super serious about us taking the vaccine while they're always talking about individual sovereignty.
00:35:45.000They're trying to say essentially, you in America who don't like the fact that we on the Supreme Court can basically shove down your throat something that a majority of you don't like, this is the new reality and you're going to have to deal with it.
00:35:59.000You know, Mika said at the beginning of the hour, she used the word fascism.
00:36:04.000Some people are going to find that a strong word.
00:36:06.000I find it a descriptive word because that's the essence of what we're talking about, which is a small minority essentially trying to dominate the politics of the country.
00:36:17.000When there is this kind of angry tyranny by the minority, it oftentimes leads to civil war.
00:36:24.000Wow, that's a lot of, I mean, who is this guy exactly?
00:36:28.000Michael Belchos, within a span of a couple minutes, he was fascism, civil war.
