00:00:01.000Our Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, just put a masterclass on display of how the ruling class operates and how they want the perks and the benefits of being in charge, but none of the responsibility.
00:00:15.000We dive into that and also an update of how Joe Biden is allowing dogs be brought to their slaughter in Afghanistan and so much more.

00:02:10.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:02:17.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:56.000There's a lot happening right now in the country that I want to get into.
00:03:00.000I want to really get into this wonderful article by Michael Anton from The American Mind about importing enemies, the willingness of our leaders to bring in Afghan refugees with no understanding whatsoever.
00:03:18.000Maybe they do have an understanding or they just don't care because it's not coming to their neighborhood.
00:03:26.000But at least the way they're communicating it is: why are we bringing these people over in the first place?
00:03:30.000I want to get into that article in a moment, but I want to begin with something I watched very carefully last evening.
00:03:38.000Rarely do you get to see a performance where so many of the trends we talk about here on this program, the philosophical trends, the spiritual trends, the political trends, all get summarized in one speech.
00:03:53.000There was a speech last evening done by Tony Blinken.
00:03:59.000Blinken is the Secretary of State of the United States.
00:04:04.000And how far have we fallen from Mike Pompeo to Tony Blinken?
00:04:09.000Tony Blinken looks like the guy that would have been friends with Jack Black as they collected old Nirvana CDs and talked about chords that they could play on their guitars while smoking weed till three o'clock in the morning.
00:04:29.000That's who Tony Blinken reminds me of.
00:04:31.000Tony Blinken is a perfect example in his speech last evening about what has just happened in Afghanistan, which is an unmitigated disaster.
00:04:43.000It's hard to disagree with that when you see really what's happened with the $83 billion in military equipment given over to the Taliban, the handing over of Kabul to the Taliban, willingly giving over Kabul.
00:05:01.000Not to mention, new report has come out, and we will get into this story as well, on how the Biden regime decided to give all of our wonderful service dogs to the Taliban.
00:05:18.000And no, the Taliban are not going to use them.
00:05:21.000They're probably going to eat them, or they'll give them the Chinese to eat them.
00:05:25.000The Chinese are very big in eating dogs.
00:05:30.000And I'm not saying that dogs' lives matter more than human lives, but you have to have a real demented bone in your body, like the Biden regime, to just get on an airplane and leave the dogs behind.
00:05:43.000But Tony Blinken's speech yesterday and this entire saga of Kabul was an unexpected masterclass on how our leaders rule through failure, how they rule through arrogance, how they rule in a foolish and yet focused way.
00:06:10.000If we had an honest media, which we don't, this entire saga would be written up in books that would be published by Thanksgiving.
00:06:18.000Kabul, how our ruling class betrayed America's 20 years in a distant country.
00:06:25.000And what Tony Blinken showed last evening in his pathetic address, that's the only way I could possibly put it.
00:06:35.000First of all, he's one of the worst public speakers we've ever had.
00:06:51.000We just randomly killed some guy going to the supermarket and his eight children.
00:06:57.000So part of the strategy, if I were to kind of analyze what's happening, and by the way, I could go through every single lie that these clowns have told.
00:07:33.000Slippery, double-minded, unwilling to tell the truth.
00:07:39.000So Tony Blinken in Cut 34 first said, and again, this could be taught in a legitimate college class, not most of the places that you send your children.
00:07:49.000But if you actually wanted to tell the audience, where are we?
00:07:56.000There is no better example than the Tony Blinken speech last night.
00:08:01.000From how it was written, how it was delivered, the arrogance, the deceitfulness of which the entire speech was presented.
00:08:13.000You would use the term Orwellian, but I struggle to even say that because Orwell, in his characters around Airstrip One, they had more commitment of a truth to truth than Tony Blinken.
00:09:09.000You see, the Yale and Harvard-educated speechwriters at the State Department who have never actually been overseas, their idea of being, yes, very foreign traveled is going to Paris or going to Oxford.
00:10:34.000One of the most radical plans to reshape the future of America is happening right now, and we need to stop it.
00:10:41.000President Biden's plan to pack the U.S. Supreme Court back in April, the president launched a special judicial commission to what he calls reform the court.
00:10:49.000But the real plan is to install four more liberal justices to gain a, quote, automatic majority and ensure favorable rulings for his most radical policies.
00:10:59.000And once the court is packed, it will end the rule of law as we know it, which is exactly what happened in Venezuela and Argentina.
00:11:36.000The Biden regime was very quick to make sure that Afghans who don't speak English, even though we're told that they're translators, come to America.
00:12:16.000Credible sources are now telling me working dogs who are released at the Kabul airport per Department of Defense authority, Major General Christopher Donahue, are being shot and killed right now by the Taliban on airport runways.
00:12:30.000Those U.S. allies locally on the ground who are still trying to help rescue or save dogs are being affiliated with America and therefore are being targeted by the Taliban, so we're having to cease efforts.
00:12:42.000Not only is Joe Biden overseeing a civilian slaughter, not only did 13 Marines die on his watch last week, not only did Kabul get handed over by the Taliban, but the beautiful dogs that did nothing wrong are being slaughtered right now thanks to Joe Biden.
00:13:00.000Maybe that will get suburban soccer moms to actually think about the soulless part of the regime.
00:13:04.000It's kind of, you know, I joked around in a text message.
00:13:51.000Now, again, this is such an easy question.
00:13:53.000You have these massive empty planes leading out of Kabul, empty, no one on them.
00:13:58.000Why couldn't you just put all the dogs on the planes?
00:14:00.000Who's going to be held accountable for the Americans that are abandoned in Kabul?
00:14:05.000Who's going to be held accountable for the $86 billion and the hundreds of thousands of rifles that the Taliban now have?
00:14:12.000Do you know the Taliban are now flying Blackhawk helicopters with dissidents strung from them?
00:14:17.000They found out how to fly a Black Hawk helicopter.
00:14:21.000Will anyone from the Biden regime actually be held accountable?
00:14:24.000And the answer is no, that's not the way this game works.
00:14:27.000Your Republican politicians that you keep on sending to Washington, they haven't really fought for you the last 10 or 15 or 20 or 30 years.
00:14:37.000Many of the Republican politicians that you donate to and that you support, they're quietly trying to get stuff out of Mark Mille.
00:14:44.000They don't care that service members are being vaccinated against their will or forced to be.
00:14:50.000They're kind of indifferent about the fact that dogs are being led to their slaughter thanks to Biden.
00:14:56.000They won't be held accountable because that's not the way this game works.
00:14:59.000For those of you listening right now where you have an actual job, if you did something as horrific as what just happened in Kabul, the very least you'd have to do is admit your failure and apologize.
00:15:12.000The current ruling class isn't even doing that.
00:15:14.000The current Pentagon State Department cabal, they're trying to tell us, they are gaslighting you so you don't understand, this is the greatest success we've ever had in military evacuation history.
00:15:33.000We need a movie made about us quickly.
00:15:37.000In fact, I want Matt Damon to act me as Tony Blinken.
00:15:42.000I want Leonardo DiCaprio to play Joe Biden.
00:15:49.000That's the way these sociopaths think.
00:15:52.000They think all about themselves that we need the most amount of attention and praise imaginable, even though it is objectively one of the worst American foreign policy moments in history.
00:16:10.000Are you saving for retirement or just treading water?
00:16:13.000Are you depending solely on stocks or mutuals?
00:16:44.000We're going to dive deeper into Tony Blinken's speech here and also into the psychology of the people in charge.
00:16:52.000I have been asked numerous times, Charlie, how is it that we have people this incompetent, this void of wisdom, running our institutions?
00:17:00.000I say, well, it makes perfect sense if you've been to a college campus lately.
00:17:04.000And the college campuses are the incubators where wisdom goes to die and arrogance is bred, where deceitfulness is inculcated and treachery is encouraged.
00:17:18.000The leaders of our institutions, prime example number one, Tony Blinken, have never actually ever had to be held accountable for anything consequential.
00:17:48.000Mind you, before we play this tape, how do you have a diplomatic mission without an embassy?
00:17:54.000How do you have a diplomatic mission when you had to close your embassy out of fears that your own citizens would have to be killed, where we had to bring the flag down?
00:18:02.000How exactly does diplomacy work with that, Tony Blinken?
00:18:06.000You see, one of the great misnomers is that diplomacy can solve everything.
00:18:11.000When it comes down to it, diplomacy is only effective when you have a bigger sword and a stick than the person across the table from you.
00:18:19.000If you're going to rely solely on diplomacy with evil people, I got a book by Neville Chamberlain to sell you.
00:18:47.000The diplomatic mission that we don't have an embassy and we have no way to actually execute it.
00:18:53.000Now, do you notice how they are experts, not at governing, but at deflecting and dodging?
00:19:01.000One thing that Blinken is very good at is changing words, yet not necessarily always changing definitions, but changing the essence of what is being said.
00:19:15.000A great example is when he was asked the other day, I think we have this tape.
00:19:19.000We played it earlier, but it's worth playing again.
00:19:21.000When they said, well, did you give lists to the Taliban?
00:19:45.000So, in specific instances, when you're trying to get a bus or a group of people through, and you need to show a manifest to do that, because particularly in cases where people don't have the necessary credentials on them or documents on them, then you'll share names of the list on people who bus so they can be assured that those are people that we're looking to bring in.
00:20:05.000So, again, we call it a manifest, not a list, so therefore, it's not a list.
00:20:09.000So, it's not a disaster, it's a transition.
00:21:02.000You see, part of the strategy for Tony Blinken is if they think they adjust the word and use a synonym of the word, you'll just stop asking questions.
00:21:10.000And Chuck Todd didn't even ask a follow-up.
00:21:26.000Just because you use a synonym of the word and you're asked about the word doesn't make it any less true.
00:21:31.000In Tony Blinken's speech, it became very clear that the type of leader this regime is focused on supporting and implementing is one that has never had to or want to take responsibility for their actions.
00:21:52.000You see, leadership is not just about the perks and the benefits.
00:21:58.000It's not just about the state dinners, the chauffeur cars, the staff at your beck and call, people bowing at your absurd title, like, oh, yes, Mr. Secretary.
00:22:10.000It's not just about the aura of your unearned self-importance.
00:22:15.000Leadership is also and truly about the stuff our rulers actually detest the most.
00:22:23.000It's about sleepless nights, flag-draped coffins, unpredictable circumstances, terror bombings, press briefings, and hopefully the willingness to non-ideologically be honest and take responsibility for your actions and have some sort of sense of duty, not deflection.
00:22:46.000This class of unelected czars of Millie and Kirby and Blinken and Austin, who sounds like a bad law firm from breaking bad, they want the lifestyle of being a leader.
00:23:40.000Tony Blinken can now write a memoir of how unvaccinated white supremacist Twitter bloggers almost threw him off his game while he was trying to get the war in Afghanistan ended.
00:23:53.000That we should all feel sorry for the grateful, dead, loving Nirvana listening to Tony Blinken, pot-smoking Secretary of State.
00:24:02.000Man, we should feel sorry for him because he was getting really mean Twitter comments while he was trying to mess up what was happening in Kabul.
00:24:09.000Tony Blinken's an important person, didn't you know that?
00:24:12.000And since Tony Blinken is important and the whole government apparatus regime that he represents is as such, why should they ever have to take responsibility for what they've done?
00:24:24.000The greatest leaders in the last couple hundred years are ones that rejected the prestige and the trappings of that position, and they were willing, that's right, willing to do uncomfortable yet magnanimous things to save the civilization.
00:24:44.000Winston Churchill is the best example of this.
00:24:47.000Winston Churchill had a relentless will, perseverance that was beyond comprehension.
00:24:54.000Churchill rallied a nation to fight an existential evil and won and saved with it Western civilization.
00:25:00.000Abraham Lincoln is another great example of that.
00:25:03.000Tony Blinken is very similar to Neville Chamberlain.
00:25:07.000Neville Chamberlain wanted peace so badly that he never wanted confrontation or conflict.
00:25:15.000Tony Blinken, taking no questions yesterday, and I'm going to show you this tape here.
00:25:21.000Tony Blinken being the perfect example of what you're dealing with.
00:25:28.000You want to see what our colleges are producing?
00:26:30.000Look, look, I know we started the tragedy, but come on, I don't get any credit for like picking up a bucket of water and throwing some water on an open flame.
00:27:19.000People can hold you accountable to that.
00:27:22.000This regime was exposed in the midst of the Kabul crisis because it was so chaotic, deadly, and bloody that all of a sudden they could no longer blame the unvaccinated for what was happening in Kabul.
00:27:48.000As we summarize what we've just seen in the last couple of weeks and quite honestly, a month, it's more clear than ever that our leadership class wants the importance of being in charge, but they don't actually want to do the tough stuff.
00:28:04.000This is why they're going to exploit this to take Taiwan.
00:28:10.000Look, the real estate market is really hot right now.
00:28:13.000People are taking advantage of the low interest rates and the economic uncertainty by investing in real assets.
00:28:18.000Whether you're a first-time buyer or just looking to make a change, the key to getting the property you want is being pre-qualified and having the cash in hand.
00:28:25.000That's why you need to contact Andrew Delray and Todd Avakian at andrewandTodd.com.
00:30:06.000And there's this great dialogue in Plato's Republic where Socrates is told that there's this very wise man that he must go see and talk to.
00:30:33.000But there's this wonderful, and I'm paraphrasing what Socrates said.
00:30:36.000He said, I met the wise man, and while I don't consider myself wise, I do know that that man is not wise.
00:30:50.000And that was kind of the original 2,500-year-old version of humble brag because it kind of had this almost meta-brag, this almost meta-hierarchy to it, which is: look, I'm not considering myself wise, but I'm actually going to tell you what is wise and what's not wise.
00:31:38.000I actually want a government that I trust.
00:31:41.000I want a State Department that is not looking as if ISIS is filming their video, like it's some sort of B-rate hostage film in a basement in southern Syria.
00:31:54.000Well, that's a longer question to explore.
00:31:58.000But the main reason we got here is because the Founding Fathers gave us a system that has not been followed.
00:32:06.000One of the characteristics of the system that the Founding Fathers gave us in the United States Constitution is checks and balances, a check on power.
00:32:17.000And since we do not have an opposition party, Republicans, the State Department doesn't fear anything that could possibly come out of Congress.
00:32:28.000There is no one, no institution that is holding them to account.
00:32:33.000Unaccountable action with lots of power and lots of money and lots of prestige is almost always a recipe for the arrogant and the foolish coming together and governing your country into oblivion.
00:33:26.000They get the name on the stationary regardless of how horrific of a job they have done.
00:33:31.000It doesn't matter how much blood is spilled, dogs are slaughtered, civilians are murdered on the way to the grocery store, Marines are killed.
00:33:40.000All they have to do from this point forward is utter the party line, protect entrench interests, cover up for disasters that remain, be clever and treacherous enough to navigate the institutions, and they're important.
00:33:55.000The incentive structure is not to govern and to create success.
00:33:59.000The incentive structure, instead, is to become the cleanup squad after Chernobyl.
00:34:09.000Not the cleanup squad of the actual nuclear spill, the cleanup squad of actually what happened with the government actions before that.
