00:02:02.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:02:09.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:47.000And God bless you guys for your support and your prayers.
00:02:49.000The Turning Point USA staff, they are getting some well-earned time off.
00:02:55.000They're getting some well-to-earned rest.
00:02:57.000But we're back here in the studio and lots to talk about.
00:03:00.000Yesterday, the Colorado Supreme Court, right before Christmas, by the way, and we've been warning about this.
00:03:06.000We've been saying, look, what is coming into 2024, it's going to be unlike anything we've ever seen.
00:03:12.000This is not going to be a traditional year.
00:03:14.000This is not going to be something that you can plan and that you can predict.
00:03:17.000We're going to try to map it out the best we can.
00:03:20.000And we're going to be spending our couple days here in studio before Christmas trying to anticipate with moves and counter moves what the bad guys are going to do.
00:03:28.000And they are showing their hand and they might have, they might have just been too aggressive yesterday.
00:03:34.000This is a, I think, a strategic mistake.
00:03:37.000I'm going to tell you, actually, I think they've overshot.
00:03:39.000I think they've overplayed their hand.
00:03:41.000They've allowed their intensity, their passion, their hatred of Donald Trump to go too far too early.
00:03:46.000They basically pulled the nuclear option way ahead of time.
00:03:51.000And of course, this is predictable because these people have no self-control.
00:04:26.000They mean people in closed rooms who get to decide your future.
00:04:32.000They do not want representative government.
00:04:35.000They want a philosopher king, a ruling class.
00:04:40.000The left is creating the tyranny that it endlessly warned about.
00:04:44.000And we got our latest, most powerful confirmation of that yesterday when the 100% Democrat Colorado Supreme Court voted for three to kick Donald Trump off the ballot.
00:06:06.000When I speak in California, the conservatives, the Christians, the Patriots, the freedom fighters, they are on fire, even though they're outnumbered.
00:06:38.000Colorado is the second most college-educated state in the country, Massachusetts and Colorado.
00:06:44.000So of course, it makes sense that New York Times, MSNBC-style opinions find their way into Colorado.
00:06:53.000Now, Colorado, why would Colorado have the second most college graduates of any state in the country?
00:06:57.000A lot of tech companies, beautiful place to live, and a lot of people who graduate from college, get their degrees, come to Colorado.
00:07:03.000They keep their toxic ideology and they've turned Colorado into a dystopian hellscape.
00:07:09.000So the Colorado Supreme Court voted for three to kick Donald Trump off of the primary ballot and presumably the general election ballot as well.
00:07:17.000So has Donald Trump been convicted of a crime?
00:07:30.000Well, Donald Trump is currently under indictment, but not even under indictment of anything that would disqualify him from ballot access.
00:07:39.000The grounds for this, the court says, in a massive ruling over 100 pages long, Donald Trump engaged in insurrection by inviting supporters to D.C. and giving a speech where he encouraged them to, quote, fight.
00:07:53.000Has Donald Trump been indicted for insurrection?
00:08:00.000Now, this all is around the most, it is a necessary amendment.
00:08:06.000The media always misquotes me on this, obviously, but it is too broadly written, and this amendment is overused by really bad people to reshape the country.
00:08:33.000Even if Donald Trump was an insurrectionist, even he's allowed to run for office.
00:08:39.000Just holding office and running are two different things, technically.
00:08:42.000So there is no constitutional ground that the Colorado Supreme Court stands on, but he's not an insurrectionist because January 6th was not an insurrection.
00:10:18.000We just had one on our show, Masaquai, an amazing patriot.
00:10:24.000Massaquai came on our program and he's facing a year in prison and felony counts because he took five steps into the Capitol and came back and the FBI raided his home and took his devices and been spying on him for two years.
00:10:37.000And he gets off a plane, Siaka Massaquai, and they arrest him.
00:10:58.000We have said for a while that we're in the midst of a cold civil war.
00:11:02.000We are in the middle of a slow-motion civil war of the Washington D.C. and the regime against the citizenry.
00:11:10.000The sooner we recognize and realize that, they are so afraid of you, terrified of what they are seeing.
00:11:21.000I believe they have overreached and they have said, nope, you don't even get the right to vote for Donald Trump.
00:11:32.000Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.
00:11:36.000If you deal with exhaustion, brain fog, mood swings, or food cravings, if you're constantly getting sick or simply lack the zeal you used to have in life, then I have some news for you.
00:11:45.000While back, I found a liquid supplement called Strong Cell, and it changed my health in a very profound way.
00:12:11.000After taking Strong Cell for six weeks, I found improvement in many areas, less shoulder pain, improved mental clarity, increased natural energy, and so much more.
00:12:18.000I'm thankful that Charlie Kirk recommended this to his listeners.
00:12:21.000Rebecca says, I absolutely love Strong Cell.
00:12:24.000At first, I didn't think it would make much of a difference for my chronic fatigue, depression, and anxiety, but I thought I'd give it a chance.
00:12:29.000I've tried to find depression meds for 10 years, and since you strong cell, I'm feeling better than I ever have on depression medication.

00:13:27.000For entire lifetimes, the standard for controlling speech in this country has been that if you are accused of criminal speech, you must incite imminent lawless action.
00:13:39.000And that doesn't even include vaguely saying we should overthrow the government.
00:13:43.000It means specific time, place, and manner.
00:13:45.000For example, go do XYZ to that man over there, or go break into the place right there, right now, right there.
00:13:54.000And by the way, the threshold for incitement is very, very, very high.
00:14:00.000This is a mockery of a ruling, but it reeks of desperation.
00:14:05.000And even morning Mika, even Rachel Maddow, when I listened to the Rachel Maddow call-in session when she calls in MSNBC, it was not, Rachel Maddow sounded like an NPR reporter.
00:14:19.000If you didn't know it was Rachel Maddow, you'd think you would be somewhat of an NPR reporter of a center-left tilt of just kind of a fact pattern.
00:14:33.000And this is the most wild thing she says.
00:14:35.000It's not crazy for a democracy thing to do in our democracy, but honestly, the general call-in of Rachel Maddow and MSNBC was extremely vanilla for kind of her commentary.
00:14:48.000Because deep down, even MSNBC knows this is really, really uncharted territory here.
00:14:54.000The party of democracy says that you do not have a constitutional right to vote for a former president.
00:15:02.000And the obvious thing that nobody is mentioning, hello, based on all polls that were told are gold standard, he's the frontrunner and he is the betting odds favorite in certain online betting markets.
00:15:15.000Blake, can you go do the thing where you look at the betting markets, predict it or whatever?
00:15:30.000So now we live in a country where four people in a private room can say that 75 million people are not allowed to vote for a former president.
00:15:39.000Is that the country you want to live in?
00:16:31.000I mean, listen, I think in the broad strokes in terms of our democracy, there are very few magic wands.
00:16:39.000That said, it is not, this is not a crazy thing for a democracy to do.
00:16:45.000This is something that our own Congress did in 1868 after our own Civil War, specifically to preclude anybody from holding office in this country who had engaged in insurrection against this country.
00:16:57.000And so it's not unheard of, but it would be an incredible wildcard.
00:18:05.000Well, I think Bette Midler said something.
00:18:07.000But no, with the head, Kathy Griffin, with the decapitated head of Donald Trump.
00:18:11.000They have been fantasizing murdering Donald Trump for seven years.
00:18:17.000They're setting the optics and the narrative and the philosophical rationalization and justification to kill you, to raid your home, put you in prison, and take out the leader of the movement.
00:18:29.000And there is not an ounce, an inch, or a sliver and iota of exaggeration in that.
00:18:34.000As the Colorado Supreme Court, four people can disenfranchise 75 million.
00:18:42.000Dark clouds are gathering as markets shutter.
00:18:46.000Stocks are sinking and currency stubbling.
00:20:13.000Thankfully, the Supreme Court, the United States Supreme Court, is going to weigh in on this.
00:20:18.000But the argument that they are making, the Colorado Supreme Court made, is that, well, he incited violent activity.
00:20:27.000Now, one of the most revealing things about this ruling is: of the seven justices on the Supreme Court, four of them went to elite top 14 law schools, and three of them went to the regional University of Denver Law School.
00:20:39.000And that is exactly the breakdown of today's ruling.
00:20:42.000The elitist eggheads convinced themselves that they were protecting democracy by abolishing free elections and free speech, while the three less quote-unquote prestigious judges did not fall for that nonsense despite them being Democrats.
00:20:56.000So the divide on the Colorado Supreme Court is where were they educated?
00:21:02.000The ones that want Donald Trump off the ballot went to the creme de la creme schools.
00:21:07.000Now, there's another news story that seems unrelated to this.
00:21:11.000And people say, oh, you know, this is a separate story.
00:21:24.000This monument at Arlington National Cemetery is one of the great pieces of work.
00:21:29.000It's America's most noteworthy sculptors.
00:21:32.000Moses Ezekiel, a Jewish man, who was put up in 1914, a half century after the Civil War.
00:21:39.000As a testament to the nation's reconciliation, Woodrow Wilson spoke at the dedication.
00:21:44.000He called it an emblem, not of the South, but a reunited people.
00:21:48.000And for a century, that's what it was.
00:21:50.000But now the monument is being ripped down pointlessly, not for the sake of reconciliation, but the exact opposite, to create hatred, anger, and discord.
00:22:51.000They will deploy their activist proxies in the streets.
00:22:56.000They will kick us off of social media.
00:22:58.000They will keep our patriots in pre-trial, gulag-style, solitary confinement detention.
00:23:06.000That's how you act if you're at war, not if you're trying to govern a country.
00:23:12.000The way the left is acting and the way that we are just kind of, oh, wow, we need corporate tax cuts.
00:23:20.000They're acting as if they want to administer a death blow because they think that we, patriots, are the greatest threat to the Republic.
00:23:34.000And how many times do we need to hear them say it?
00:23:39.000So they're taking down this monument, 46, you can put it up, which is a beautiful monument.
00:23:44.000By the way, I mean, I don't know where it's going, but Turning Point USA would be honored to put in a bid to put it on campus here in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:23:50.000I'm sure it would be a crying shame if that thing would be melted.
00:24:20.000But that monument there is about reconciliation.
00:24:22.000So they tank down the monument, and then this affirmative action moron, Mara Gay, who probably is related to the other affirmative action moron that runs Harvard, Claudia Gay, who says what they all are thinking.
00:24:39.000Now, to Morning Joe's credit, Morning Joe seems like slightly bothered by all this.
00:24:46.000Joe Scarborough is like, well, what do you have to say about them?
00:25:37.000To the Republican candidates' argument that this should be, the voters should have the say and not the courts.
00:25:45.000Why are you standing with Confederates who betrayed this country?
00:25:53.000And this is what they're standing with is the spirit of those Confederates rather than the Americans who came together after a long and brutal Civil War that was fought to keep the Union together and saw,
00:26:10.000clearly saw a threat in ex-Confederates running for office, so much so that they amended the Constitution to prevent those traitors from running for office.
00:26:26.000That should send a message that our election system, our electoral system, can be used for nefarious purposes against the democracy itself.
00:26:39.000So there's affirmative action woman at the New York Times calling you a Confederate traitor.
00:26:47.000She's saying that if you went to January 6th, you're a traitor to the country.
00:26:52.000This is why the January 6th narrative is the baseline of this, everybody.
00:26:57.000It's so tempting to walk away from it.
00:26:59.000Ooh, it's just, I don't like what happened that day.
00:30:49.000This Christmas, the new film from director George Clooney arrives.
00:30:52.000It's a rag to riches, absolute crowd pleaser based on the number one New York Times best-selling book, this inspirational true story about one of the most difficult sports in the world and the 1936 University of Washington College rowing team that competed for gold at the summer games in Berlin will inspire you.
00:31:08.000This team wrote out of need, need to eat, need to sleep, and it gave them an edge that captures the power of working together to overcome all odds while rowing for America.
00:31:16.000They don't make movies like this anymore, and it's filled with wholesome content that makes it an ideal multi-generational movie for Christmas.
00:31:22.000Joel Edgerton and Callum Turner star in this exciting and incredible story of courage, hard work, and determination, showcasing America at its best.
00:33:32.000And when I talk, and I want to just say before I go into this, the donors to Turning Point USA and the donors to Turning Point Action, they get it.
00:33:41.000More and more people that have wealth, that have stature, are waking up.
00:34:01.000Now, how is this going to play out technically?
00:34:04.000This will go to the U.S. Supreme Court, thankfully.
00:34:07.000I would not be shocked if we get a 6-3-7-2, maybe even a 9-0 decision, and they could put this to bed.
00:34:14.000Thank the Lord the Supreme Court is not like the Colorado Supreme Court.
00:34:19.000But everybody, if we don't win this coming November, if we don't win, they're going to make the U.S. Supreme Court like the Colorado Supreme Court very quickly.
