00:00:39.000 Here we go.
00:00:40.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:42.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:44.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:48.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:51.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:52.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:53.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:55.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:00.000 Turning point USA. 0.65
00:01:01.000 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.
00:01:10.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:14.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:01:22.000 Okay, everybody, time to get to work.
00:01:25.000 Do the hard work.
00:01:26.000 Every single one of you should become a precinct committee man.
00:01:29.000 Every single one of you should need to do grassroots work.
00:01:31.000 If Donald Trump just does three to five votes better per precinct in Arizona, he wins Arizona.
00:01:37.000 That is a fact.
00:01:39.000 Joining us now is Scott Pressler, who is doing the work to help save the Republic, founder of Early Vote Action.
00:01:47.000 Scott, welcome to the program.
00:01:48.000 Give us an update.
00:01:49.000 What are you seeing on the ground?
00:01:50.000 What is the work that is necessary for us to win in 2024?
00:01:54.000 Thank you, Charlie.
00:01:55.000 Well, you know, despite Democratic Governor Shapiro in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania instituting the automatic voter registration, we got data from the last week.
00:02:04.000 Republicans still gaining over Democrats despite this strategy of the governor.
00:02:10.000 We're seeing gains in Kentucky, Louisiana, all across the country.
00:02:15.000 People are joining the Republican Party.
00:02:18.000 But as we saw from a poll that recently showed Joe Biden being down by 10 points, guys, I hate to say it.
00:02:25.000 Polls don't matter.
00:02:27.000 Votes matter.
00:02:29.000 Getting ballots into boxes matter.
00:02:31.000 And 2022 was supposed to be a red tsunami.
00:02:34.000 We were supposed to have Republicans gain in the House, gain in the Senate.
00:02:38.000 And so clearly, we can't take our feet off the pedal.
00:02:42.000 And we have to make sure that we're becoming PCs, joining the Republican Party, registering voters, and this is very important, getting out in this November's elections, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
00:02:58.000 We have elections this November.
00:03:01.000 Yes.
00:03:01.000 And so let's focus on Wisconsin in particular.
00:03:04.000 How do we look?
00:03:06.000 What are we seeing on the ground in Wisconsin?
00:03:08.000 There was a very big story here breaking.
00:03:11.000 Wisconsin Supreme Court bans absentee drop boxes.
00:03:15.000 Talk, walk through this.
00:03:17.000 What's going on?
00:03:18.000 Well, that's accurate, Charlie.
00:03:20.000 However, I want people to keep in mind that it was the former conservative justices that instituted that ban.
00:03:30.000 And the Democrats are already suing now that the liberals have taken over.
00:03:35.000 And we have Janet Protesayovich on the bench.
00:03:38.000 So just because we've had this small victory, just realize that we need to be constantly pursuing that the Democrats are going to sue.
00:03:47.000 They're going to have litigation.
00:03:49.000 And Joe Biden only, I say this very loosely, won the state of Wisconsin by 20,000 votes in 2020.
00:03:58.000 And so we must register new voters.
00:04:00.000 I just saw something by Nathan Trueblood the other day saying that there are 1 million unregistered voters in the state of Wisconsin.
00:04:09.000 And 40% of hunters are not registered to vote.
00:04:13.000 Guys, we have the votes in the state, but we must make sure that they're registered at their current address.
00:04:19.000 And for our truckers, police officers, firefighters, pilots, for people that won't be in town on Election Day in November of 2024, we must encourage them to either get an absentee ballot or to vote early in person if we're going to win the state of Wisconsin.
00:04:37.000 So let's go through state by state, Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin.
00:04:41.000 Which of those three do you think that we are in the best place?
00:04:44.000 And which of those are we in the worst place?
00:04:46.000 I think Georgia is probably in the best place.
00:04:51.000 I would put Wisconsin in the middle and I would put Arizona as probably the state that needs the most love and attention.
00:05:00.000 And it's not because we don't have the numbers.
00:05:02.000 It's not because we don't have the enthusiasm.
00:05:05.000 But I think people saw what happened to Cary Lake.
00:05:08.000 I think they saw what was criminal, what happened on Election Day.
00:05:12.000 And so I'm so glad that we have organizations like yours, Charlie, headquartered in Arizona to continue that enthusiasm bump.
00:05:21.000 But people need to know that we can win in Arizona.
00:05:24.000 But here's one very important thing.
00:05:27.000 In Arizona, we have something called the presidential preference election.
00:05:31.000 In normal primaries, independent voters can choose whether to have a Democratic or Republican ballot.
00:05:38.000 But in the PPE, the presidential preference election, you must be registered as a Republican to vote for your Republican candidate.
00:05:47.000 So my fear, Charlie, is that in the state of Arizona, we're going to have this huge group of independents that are going to go to vote next year, only to be told that they can't participate in the election.
00:05:59.000 And so we must use our voices to let Arizonans know they need to register as a Republican for next year.
00:06:06.000 How the Democrats, Joe Biden's a disaster, but talk about what we are seeing.
00:06:11.000 Are they continually funding ballot chasers, voter reg, the boring stuff?
00:06:15.000 Have the Democrats continued that sort of infrastructure building?
00:06:19.000 You know, they have, Charlie, but they do it in a different way.
00:06:22.000 The Democratic Party of Pennsylvania is in shambles.
00:06:25.000 They don't have money.
00:06:27.000 They had to fire staffers in July of 2023.
00:06:31.000 And in fact, they printed out thousands of voter cards telling people to vote on November 8th of this year, a day after election day.
00:06:40.000 And so the Democratic Party, it's not that they're wonderful.
00:06:43.000 It's not that they're competent.
00:06:45.000 They actually don't have as much money as Republicans.
00:06:48.000 But you hit the nail on the head.
00:06:50.000 It's the NGOs.
00:06:51.000 It's the 501c3s.
00:06:53.000 It's the C4s. 1.00
00:06:54.000 They're doing all the legwork.
00:06:56.000 And those are the organizations that are getting the money.
00:06:59.000 And I have to say, where are the staffers by the RNC and GOP?
00:07:03.000 The Democrats, I read an article, are putting $20 million into a voter registration operation.
00:07:09.000 We must have organizations like Turning Point Action, like my organization, Early Vote Action, that are being funded if we're going to be able to compete with the Democrats.
00:07:19.000 Yeah, so talk a little bit more about that NGO infrastructure.
00:07:22.000 It's outside.
00:07:23.000 It's non-party money.
00:07:24.000 It's hard to track.
00:07:25.000 I mean, we at Turning Point USA have a 501c3 and we have a 501c4.
00:07:30.000 At the C3, we are so careful because we know that it's prohibited from any political involvement.
00:07:35.000 Anybody around Turning Point USA will tell you how carefully we follow those rules.
00:07:39.000 We follow them precisely.
00:07:40.000 We have a 501c4 for a reason.
00:07:42.000 The C4 is harder to raise money because it's non-deductible and that's basically the reason.
00:07:46.000 So you don't get a tax advantage.
00:07:48.000 But talk about how the 501c3s in particular are really pushing the boundary of legal operations in these states.
00:07:55.000 And they're flooding in from the Soros Foundation, from the Rockefeller Foundation, from the Tides Foundation, from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, from Lorene Powell Jobs, Emerson Collective to Reed Hoffman, Aspen Institute.
00:08:06.000 Talk about that, Scott.
00:08:08.000 And this is very hard to track.
00:08:10.000 For example, when Mark Zuckerberg did the Center for Technology for Civic Life, that was all $501, tax deductible, a $400 million contribution.
00:08:21.000 Scott, tell us more about it.
00:08:22.000 Well, many of these 501c3s are operating, as you said, under the guise of being nonpartisan, but it's anything but.
00:08:31.000 And so that's why it's important that we're passing legislation in states like I believe Texas has done, Florida has done, that stop things like the quote-unquote Zuckerbucks of allowing that out-of-state, or excuse me, that out-of-election money to interfere into our elections.
00:08:49.000 But look at what's happening at the border.
00:08:51.000 We have these NGOs that are allowing the invaders to keep on coming into our country.
00:08:57.000 And then on top of that, we have groups, even like the churches.
00:09:00.000 I hate to say it.
00:09:01.000 We have churches that are then taking care of illegal immigrants after the NGOs bring them into our country. 0.99
00:09:08.000 And all of these groups are operating.
00:09:10.000 They have data like ERIC.
00:09:12.000 And that's why it's important that we're having states finally take ourselves out of those machineries to make sure that we're protecting the process.
00:09:21.000 It's so important.
00:09:22.000 Let's put this up on screen if we can, please.
00:09:24.000 I don't know if we have it handy, which is just the web of Democrat get out the vote machinery all in one picture.
00:09:30.000 Look at that right there on Real America's Voice and on live stream.
00:09:34.000 We're going to put this on, I think we have it on charliekirk.com, but this is voter contact, volunteer deployment, organizing tools, research, data analytics and modeling, voter engagement, volunteer and activist mobilization, fundraising.
00:09:46.000 If we get our act together, if we're able to chase some ballots, how significantly can we curtail their machinery advantage?
00:09:55.000 I say without hesitation, if we set up the infrastructure now to do voter registration, to do ballot chasing, to do early voting, to push in all of the above approach going into 2024, you hear me loudly and clearly.
00:10:11.000 We do have the ability to defeat Joe Biden and to elect an entirely Republican government next year.
00:10:18.000 I think that if we are, the Democrats are an unpopular regime.
00:10:22.000 They're five to seven points unpopular with the everyday people, but they close that gap in my estimation.
00:10:29.000 They're able to get anywhere between five to eight points of just muscle votes funded by rich oligarchs by 45 days of early voting.
00:10:39.000 If we can make their competitive advantage a two-point boost instead of a seven-point boost, they're done.
00:10:48.000 For 10 years, Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
00:10:52.000 When I say only, trust me, they're the only one.

00:11:50.000 Scott, I want you to editorialize for a second here.
00:11:52.000 How important is early money?
00:11:53.000 So let's say that I was a donor, okay?
00:11:56.000 And I'm into this whole Ron DeSantis thing.
00:11:58.000 Again, great governor, 100% behind him as governor.
00:12:00.000 He's not been a successful presidential candidate.
00:12:03.000 We got to get behind Trump.
00:12:04.000 We got to build the infrastructure.
00:12:06.000 Okay.
00:12:06.000 So, but let's pretend I was a donor and I have $10 million set aside to try and impact the 2024 election.
00:12:14.000 Okay.
00:12:14.000 I know a couple of donors like this.
00:12:16.000 If they were to wait from a year from now, Scott, and all of a sudden they call turning point or they call Scott and they say, hey, guys, I have 10 million bucks.
00:12:25.000 Or if they gave you 5 million today, which would make a bigger difference?
00:12:29.000 5 million today, right now.
00:12:32.000 And I mean, think about it.
00:12:34.000 That donor, if you're listening right now, whoever your candidate is, I tell you, if you spend that money now on making sure that we have staffers on the ground doing voter contact in Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, if we had that $5 million donation right at this very moment, we will be much more prepared to actually win than you calling in September of next year.
00:13:03.000 Because think about it.
00:13:04.000 I'm in Virginia.
00:13:05.000 We have 45 days of early voting.
00:13:07.000 Pennsylvania has 55-zero days of early voting.
00:13:11.000 When people get inspired to help campaigns in September of an election year, the election by and large is already decided.
00:13:21.000 Voters have already made up their minds.
00:13:23.000 If we are going to win and have the opportunity to actually defeat Joe Biden and make him a one-term president, then we need people to invest now so we can do those things like do the ballot chase, setting up the voter registration, and getting precinct chairs to make sure that we're prepared.
00:13:40.000 Yeah, and this is so important.
00:13:41.000 And just so everybody's clear, and Scott, I'm sure you experienced this, like clockwork.
00:13:47.000 Every election cycle through our 501c4 and turning point PAC, 10 days out from the election, I start getting phone calls from donors that are then motivated.
00:13:56.000 10 days out from the election, Scott.
00:13:58.000 And I always tell them, like, look, we'll deploy the money the best we can through text message campaigns, but that's even too late to even get on TV, right?
00:14:07.000 And this happens every single time where Republican donors tend to fund late, Democrat donors tend to fund early, where early money is far more impactful, far more valuable.
00:14:20.000 We need it 10 months ahead of time.
00:14:22.000 Really, we need it more than that, not 10 days ahead of time.
00:14:25.000 Because, Scott, how are we even going to source the people, hire the people, give them the technology to do the work?
00:14:32.000 Let's be generous.
00:14:33.000 Let's say two months, even if it's a 60-day lead time, Scott, that's not enough.
00:14:37.000 Well, or let's bring it back to now, 2023.
00:14:42.000 If you want to make a significant impact on winning next year, then you please help me elect Daniel Cameron as governor in Kentucky.
00:14:50.000 You help elect Jeff Landry as governor of Louisiana this year.
00:14:54.000 And you help Governor Glenn Young take the House of Delegates and state Senate because you hear me loudly and clearly.
00:15:01.000 If we give Governor Glenn Young control of the entire legislature going into 2024 next year, Virginia will be in play to elect a Republican president.
00:15:12.000 So I'm asking people to invest their time, invest their talent, time and treasure into the elections that we're having this year in 2023, because that will have a significant national impact on what happens next year in 2024.
00:15:28.000 That's well said.
00:15:29.000 And we have to plant the seeds now.
00:15:32.000 And Scott, I must be so irritating to you.
00:15:36.000 Forget the DeSantis thing because I don't want to put you on the spot on that because I don't know how you feel.
00:15:39.000 But let's just say it must be frustrating to see $500 million be spent on a Republican primary when we're getting slaughtered in the grassroots.
00:15:48.000 It's evident that Republicans are getting behind one candidate in the primary.
00:15:55.000 And I want people to remember what we're here for.
00:15:58.000 We are freedom fighters.
00:15:59.000 We're fighting for liberty.
00:16:00.000 We're against tyranny.
00:16:01.000 Let's all swim in the same direction, no matter who you're supporting, knowing that our ultimate goal is to defeat Joe Biden and make him a one-term president.
00:16:10.000 I'm hopeful that we can coalesce.
00:16:13.000 And all of these donors that are investing in the candidates, with all due respect, why don't you instead invest in voter registration, invest in ballot harvesting, invest in ballot chasing, because ultimately that money that you put into infrastructure will help make sure that we're ultimately winning with our candidates.
00:16:32.000 And I will say, we have a growing list of donors at Turning Point Action that are really starting to get it.
00:16:37.000 They are putting money.
00:16:38.000 It's not enough yet.
00:16:39.000 We don't yet have the oligarch, oligarch guys writing the nine, you know, the eight-figure checks.
00:16:44.000 But, you know, we're starting to raise more money, hire more people.
00:16:46.000 We have 75 full-time people.
00:16:48.000 We're going to hire another 50, hopefully very soon.
00:16:50.000 Tyler's doing great.
00:16:51.000 We're deploying money through your thing, Scott.
00:16:52.000 It's going to be really good.
00:16:53.000 So donors are starting to get it.
00:16:55.000 In fact, please on politico.com, they say big donors are done giving money to Santis and Nikki Haley.
00:17:01.000 They're going to sit this one out.
00:17:02.000 Guys, start deploying your money on the boring stuff.
00:17:06.000 The boring stuff will be the most exciting stuff when you get invited to Donald Trump's inauguration as the 47th president of the United States.
00:17:13.000 Scott, thank you so much.
00:17:17.000 Hey, everybody, Mike Lindell has a passion to help you get the best sleep of your life.

00:18:14.000 We have not touched on this story in months.
00:18:18.000 It's been months since we have talked about our neighbors to the north.
00:18:22.000 Growing up, Canada was a decent country, super polite, nice people.
00:18:27.000 But now Canada, I don't want to get ahead of myself.
00:18:32.000 It seems to have completely fallen. 0.94
00:18:35.000 It is an authoritarian, tyrannical country mixed with the worst of all the trans stuff, the worst of all of the alphabet mafia. 1.00
00:18:44.000 Canada's national identity is basically a more Marxist America, and the liberals in America are nuts. 0.99
00:18:52.000 So where do you go from there? 0.90
00:18:54.000 Well, joining us now is Ezra Levant.
00:18:55.000 I want to first kind of just enjoy in the embarrassment from the Canadian parliament where they honored a Nazi, not an exaggeration, from Rebel News.
00:19:06.000 And then I want to talk just about how did Canada fall so quickly?
00:19:09.000 What are the lessons here?
00:19:10.000 And what are things that might have been done differently?
00:19:12.000 Ezra, thank you for taking the time.
00:19:14.000 Tell us about what happened at the Canadian parliament where they're honoring a Nazi?
00:19:20.000 It's unbelievable.
00:19:21.000 So Vladimir Zelensky was in town on Friday, and Justin Trudeau embraced him as he always did.
00:19:29.000 He's very much like Joe Biden in that regard, just utterly committed to Zelensky, which you can have a debate about that.
00:19:36.000 But what I think is not debatable is that for some weird reason, the liberal government invited into the parliament an actual 98-year-old Nazi SS officer who sneaked into Canada about 70 years ago after the war by lying about what he had done in the war.
00:19:55.000 His name was Yaroslav Hanka, and he was part of the 14th SS Battalion.
00:20:01.000 He lied.
00:20:02.000 He said he was part of the first Ukrainian battalion.
00:20:04.000 So he got into Canada.
00:20:05.000 led a very low-key existence, hoping that the Mossad Nazi hunters would catch him.
00:20:10.000 And then out of the blue, he's 98.
00:20:12.000 He gets an invitation to parliament.
00:20:14.000 And he's introduced not as a Nazi, but as a Ukrainian-Canadian war hero.
00:20:20.000 So most people, I mean, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, they had no idea who this guy was.
00:20:25.000 He was introduced as a war hero.
00:20:27.000 They applauded.
00:20:28.000 They just said he fought the Russians.
00:20:30.000 But think about it, Charlie.
00:20:32.000 Who was fighting the Russians in the 40s?
00:20:34.000 That was Hitler. 0.93
00:20:35.000 And again, this guy wasn't just some conscript.
00:20:39.000 He volunteered to join the SS.
00:20:41.000 He would have been one of the guys doing the special political violence, going after Jews, checking in the attics, shooting resistance leaders. 0.87
00:20:50.000 And he was, and they jumped to their feet and applauded.
00:20:53.000 And they almost got away with it because not a single person in the mainstream media said, hang on, fighting Russia in the 40s, a Ukrainian war hero?
00:21:03.000 Which team was he on?
00:21:05.000 Anyhow, people on Twitter, including myself, dug a little deeper.
00:21:10.000 And over the weekend, we put irrefutable facts forward and started nudging the opposition and nudging, frankly, Holocaust memorial groups to weigh in.
00:21:18.000 And finally, they did yesterday.
00:21:20.000 And the dam broke.
00:21:21.000 But Trudeau, he's blaming it on the speaker of the house as if he didn't bet everyone in the room.
00:21:28.000 Quick point, Charlie.
00:21:29.000 This would be like during a State of the Union address when the president gives a shout out to this veteran or that person and they stand up and the camera pans over a highly scripted event.
00:21:39.000 Don't tell me for one second that Trudeau didn't know who he was.
00:21:43.000 Trudeau's saying, I don't know who did that.
00:21:45.000 That's crazy.
00:21:46.000 And Trudeau took the day off today, so he doesn't have to answer any questions.
00:21:50.000 I mean, this is like a bad curb your enthusiasm episode where, right, Larry David comes in and says, guys, guys, I found this freedom fighter.
00:22:01.000 He's the best.
00:22:03.000 He dedicated his life to killing Russians. 1.00
00:22:06.000 He's done it for years. 0.99
00:22:07.000 Let's honor him.
00:22:10.000 That's exactly what it's like, but it's one level worse because Trudeau's go-to insult for everyone who disagrees with him is to call them a Nazi.
00:22:19.000 He even calls black MPs and Jewish MPs. 0.64
00:22:24.000 Seriously, there's an M.
00:22:25.000 I mean, Leslie Lewis is a black MP.
00:22:28.000 Melissa Lanceman, who's a Jewish MP, both have been called Nazis by Trudeau's government.
00:22:33.000 Obviously, this is not true.
00:22:35.000 And it's him who brought the Nazis. 0.98
00:22:37.000 This is a Jewish high holy weekend, by the way.
00:22:39.000 It's Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar.
00:22:43.000 And they're bringing, I'm going to play the piece of tape here. 0.83
00:22:45.000 If it wasn't so just disgusting and sick, I mean, the only way I can cope with this is to make fun of it, which is here are these people that allegedly make their whole life about fighting right-wing fascism. 0.67
00:22:59.000 Here's this guy. 0.78
00:23:00.000 They honored.
00:23:02.000 He was active in the Waffen SS.
00:23:05.000 He was an SS guy.
00:23:07.000 This was not just some sort of enlisted person who was drafted and thrown on the front lines.
00:23:12.000 This was a guy, as you say, was like Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Bastards.
00:23:17.000 Okay. 0.94
00:23:18.000 He walked into people's homes to kill Jews and is now honored by the Canadian parliament. 0.99
00:23:23.000 Play Cup 35.
00:23:25.000 We have here in the chamber today Ukrainian Canadians, Ukrainian-Canadian world veteran from the Second World War who fought the Ukrainian independence against the Russians and continues to support the troops today, even at his age of 98.
00:23:51.000 Wait a second.
00:23:52.000 Did no one in the audience say, wait, hold on, let me do some math.
00:23:55.000 He's 98 and he fought the Russians.
00:24:00.000 So that would make him a Nazi. 0.73
00:24:07.000 Let's just kind of like put this together.
00:24:09.000 So who fought the Russians?
00:24:11.000 Well, America didn't fight the Russians. 0.64
00:24:13.000 The Axis fought the Russians.
00:24:16.000 But there's a lot to that.
00:24:18.000 There's so many layers to this, Ezra.
00:24:19.000 And I just can't help but just dive right into it because these are the worst of all people.
00:24:24.000 They make their entire political movement up fighting fascism, fighting this.
00:24:28.000 And they can't even just read a biography or do some very simple math.
00:24:31.000 That is how captured these people.
00:24:34.000 I got to get this.
00:24:36.000 Let's go to this one.
00:24:37.000 He receives the award.
00:24:39.000 Again, I don't throw around the term Nazi, Ezra, nor do you.
00:24:42.000 Like, I really, really don't.
00:24:44.000 Okay.
00:24:45.000 We should save that term for real Nazis, people that served in the SS.
00:24:50.000 Play Cut 54.
00:24:52.000 Zelensky's speech received at least a dozen standing ovations.
00:24:57.000 There was also one for this man, a 98-year-old Ukrainian Canadian who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians during the Second World War.
00:25:07.000 Ezra, you got to take it from here.
00:25:09.000 You know, next to him, I don't know if you could see that, but standing a couple of seats away was the leadership of Canada's military.
00:25:16.000 Surely they in their head were thinking, okay, you were fighting for Ukraine's independence in the mid-40s.
00:25:23.000 That actually didn't really happen other than if you're reading, like, imagine the wording trickery, the word smithery.
00:25:30.000 And that guy, he was saying, yes, I'm vindicated.
00:25:34.000 Like, after World War II, a lot of Nazis went to South America.
00:25:38.000 And the Mossad Nazi hunter just caught a few of them and kidnapped them, brought him back to Israel for trial, like Adolf Eichmann.
00:25:44.000 This guy was keeping a really low profile in a small town in Canada.
00:25:48.000 And all of a sudden, he's redeemed.
00:25:50.000 He's thinking Adolf would be so proud of me.
00:25:53.000 And he, for one moment, he felt, you know, maybe like his whole life of hiding wasn't necessary. 0.97
00:25:59.000 Just nuts. 0.99
00:26:00.000 Just crazy. 0.58
00:26:00.000 Total Seinfeld moment if it weren't so serious. 0.58
00:26:03.000 It's also, again, that this guy probably himself killed Jews or put Jewish families on train cars. 0.68
00:26:09.000 But here's the deeper point, though.
00:26:12.000 They didn't think twice about this because there are actual Nazis serving in the Ukrainian military.
00:26:17.000 Zelensky, I'm not saying Zelensky is a Nazi, but the Azov battalion have actual Nazis, Ezra.
00:26:24.000 So this isn't that distant.
00:26:26.000 And understand that Vladimir Putin, when he rallies the Russian base, and I'm not making defense of Putin by any means, he does say we're fighting Nazis.
00:26:35.000 If you read Russian propaganda, if you read Kremlin state media, okay, which I don't make a habit out of it, but every so often I come across, I'm interested in what they're saying.
00:26:43.000 Putin domestically says we're fighting Nazis.
00:26:45.000 Good job, Trudeau.
00:26:47.000 You just gave Putin everything he possibly wanted, right, Ezra?
00:26:50.000 Absolutely.
00:26:51.000 In fact, Russia today, RT has been publishing article after article about this.
00:26:56.000 The Russian foreign ministry has put out statements.
00:26:59.000 You're so right.
00:27:00.000 It absolutely is being used as an argument by Russia, and it's an own gold. 0.72
00:27:08.000 The crazy thing is that no one in the establishment even said a word until yesterday.
00:27:14.000 48 hours went by.
00:27:16.000 And it was only when independent journalists on Twitter made a fuss about it.
00:27:20.000 There are thousands of mainstream journalists in Canada.
00:27:23.000 Not one of them showed any curiosity or any interest, or if they found something weird, they didn't say a word.
00:27:30.000 That shows an unhealthy political situation in Canada.
00:27:34.000 Well, yeah, and because they didn't notice because it's just a rubber stamp in Canadian parliament.
00:27:39.000 And Ezra, to your credit at Rebel News, it took independent journalists to pressure this.
00:27:45.000 The Anti-Defamation League has come out, and they say that the Ukraine's Azov battalion no longer far right.
00:27:53.000 I don't like doing this, Ezra, but I have to do this, which is the following.
00:27:56.000 I don't like saying, could you imagine if Trump did this?
00:27:59.000 But I'm going to say this.
00:28:00.000 Could you imagine at a Trump State of the Union, to your point, Ezra, if Donald J. Trump honored someone who served in the Waffen-SS in World War II, it would be a presidency ender.
00:28:14.000 I mean, like, I'm not exaggerating.
00:28:16.000 That would be a presidency ender, right, Ezra?
00:28:19.000 Well, you'd think so.
00:28:20.000 I mean, of course, remember that one of the longest serving Democratic senators in history, Senator Byrd from West Virginia, got his start in the KKK.
00:28:29.000 So I think that there's a double standard out there and it's not a good look.
00:28:32.000 Yeah, and it's not hypocrisy.
00:28:34.000 It's hierarchy. 0.88
00:28:35.000 They think they can just get away with it.
00:28:36.000 Like, oh, oops, we didn't vet his background.
00:28:38.000 No, no, no, no.
00:28:39.000 If the conservatives in Canada really want to exploit a weakness, I guarantee you, somebody, an intern, a research assistant, has text message or emails that knew.
00:28:48.000 Put them under oath.
00:28:49.000 I could just imagine.
00:28:52.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:28:54.000 When the government used emergency edicts during COVID to restrict the gathering and worship of churches, three pastors facing the risk of imprisonment, unlimited fines, and their own churches being ripped apart took a courageous stand and reopened their doors in the face of a world that chose to comply.

00:29:56.000 I have great respect for what Jews are doing today.
00:30:00.000 They are engaged in what is called the day of atonement.
00:30:04.000 And I think that all people, Jewish, Christian, or whatever, should go through this sort of exercise.
00:30:08.000 I think it's really healthy, where for an entire day, you do not drink and you do not eat and you spend an entire day thinking and reflecting on all the sins that you committed in the last year.
00:30:22.000 It's the day of atonement.
00:30:24.000 The old joke is: every day is the day of atonement for evangelical Baptists every day. 0.98
00:30:29.000 Every day is Yom Kippur. 0.95
00:30:33.000 And there is some truth to that.
00:30:35.000 There is certainly some Christian denominations that overemphasize reflection on sin and atonement.
00:30:42.000 But I think it's very healthy.
00:30:44.000 And as a Jewish friend of mine messaged me, we store up all our sins for one big day and we get it out of our system and then we get back to living.
00:30:51.000 I think that's hilarious.
00:30:52.000 But I'm wishing all of our Jewish listeners a good and a easy fast.
00:30:58.000 I love the idea of a day of humility.
00:31:01.000 And when I visit these college campuses, screaming like rabid dogs at me, you look at them and say, boy, they could use a day where they don't eat and they don't drink and they just think about how they're not God.
00:31:15.000 That would make America a better country.
00:31:17.000 If every single American went even through the practice, they don't even have to believe it, even through the exercise of saying, I have something to atone for, I was not all that I could be over the last year, that would make the country a significantly better country, significantly better.
00:31:35.000 Saying, like, wow, I yelled at my kids too much or showed up late to work or I was too cocky or too prideful.
00:31:41.000 Just that sort of self-examination and introspection, America has become such a prideful nation, which is too bad.
00:31:50.000 All right, let's get to gambling odds here.
00:31:54.000 Is Hillary Clinton going to run for the presidency?
00:32:00.000 Hildebeast, she's looking like she's looking at Joe Biden and she's probably saying, Look, I'm a lot healthier than him.
00:32:06.000 And that's actually pretty true.
00:32:08.000 And I look, I think Gavin is most likely, but all of a sudden you have the Clinton Global Initiative ramping up again.
00:32:14.000 Really?
00:32:15.000 Bringing the band back together.
00:32:17.000 Next thing you know, we're going to have John Podesta on TV.
00:32:19.000 Well, we have the whole Clinton crime syndicate, those who are still living who didn't kill themselves, they're going to put the whole Rolling Stones type crew back together.
00:32:28.000 Hillary Clinton focusing on Vladimir Putin, play cut 22.
00:32:34.000 He hates democracy.
00:32:36.000 He particularly hates the West and he especially hates us.
00:32:41.000 And he has determined that he can do two things simultaneously.
00:32:47.000 He can try to continue to damage and divide us internally.
00:32:52.000 And he's quite good at it.
00:32:53.000 And sadly, he has a lot of apologists and enablers in our own country, people who either don't see the danger or dismiss it out of hand or maybe agree with some of the positions he's taken on certain things, including his barbaric invasion of Ukraine.
00:33:15.000 You know, when people start criticizing Donald Trump, I say, you know what?
00:33:19.000 He'll go down on my Mount Rushmore thanks to preventing that monster from becoming president.
00:33:25.000 He could have resigned after day one.
00:33:27.000 The fact he blocked her ever from becoming president of the United States, God bless him. 1.00
00:33:33.000 Hillary Clinton continues.
00:33:37.000 Hillary Clinton says Putin is bad for poisoning people who disagree with him.
00:33:44.000 Play cut 16.
00:33:45.000 Part of the reason he worked so hard against me is because he didn't think that he wanted me in the White House.
00:33:52.000 So we are where we are.
00:33:54.000 And part of the challenge is to continue to explain to the American public that, you know, the kind of leader Putin is, this authoritarian dictator who literally kills his opposition, kills journalists, poisons people who disagree with him, invades other country, interferes with our election.
00:34:21.000 That is part of the alternative we have to reject in this election.
00:34:25.000 Vince Foster, I'm sorry, I had to get that out of my system.
00:34:29.000 The Russia hoax lie won't die, but many of Clinton's enemies magically have.
00:34:34.000 It's weird how that works.
00:34:36.000 Yeah, Putin's the problem.
