The Charlie Kirk Show - Elon Musk: Public Enemy #1

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:00:01.000 Who is John Galt?

00:00:02.000 What if I told you his name is Elon Musk?

00:00:03.000 We talk about Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, and how it connects to today's time.

00:00:08.000 Mike Lee also joins the program.

00:00:09.000 And we do a political and cultural introspection.

00:00:12.000 Why are young women so, so Democrat? 1.00

00:00:17.000 So liberal?

00:00:18.000 We analyze and more.

00:00:40.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:42.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:46.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:49.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:50.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:51.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:00:53.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:00:59.000 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.

00:01:37.000 1957, Ayn Rand published her greatest work, Atlas Shrugged.

00:01:45.000 Ayn Rand was a Soviet expat.

00:01:48.000 I encourage you guys to read Atlas Shrugged.

00:01:54.000 It's not easy reading.

00:01:56.000 It is very, very well written and thoughtfully put together.

00:01:59.000 It is a novel.

00:02:01.000 There's plenty of things that are goofy about the book.

00:02:04.000 The overindulgence in the material and the flesh, the lack of a belief in the eternal and the divine, the worship of, let's just say, immediate gratification.

00:02:14.000 However... Despite the fact that we do not agree with all of her views, she was an atheist after all, and a much more libertarian fundamentalist than we are.

00:02:23.000 She was a supremely gifted writer and understood the left-wing mind better than almost any other author of the last 100 years.

00:02:33.000 In the book Atlas Shrugged, it's a dystopian novel, and it paints a picture of what happens when a government is built on envy and resentment and collectivism.

00:02:44.000 In the book, Atlas Shrugged, it talks about what happens when there's Birdison laws and regulations, and when you're able to find a singular person that you can pin all of your problems against.

00:02:57.000 The best characters in Rand's books are actually the villains.

00:03:01.000 They are the perfect image of left-wing bureaucrats, academics, and parasites.

00:03:06.000 People who can't build, but they try to gain mastery over those who do.

00:03:12.000 In the book Atlas Shrugged, there is a quiet character who really does not emerge up until about two-thirds of the way through.

00:03:19.000 And that is a guy by the name of John Galt.

00:03:23.000 John Galt was an innovator.

00:03:24.000 He's a builder.

00:03:26.000 He did stuff.

00:03:27.000 A risk-taker.

00:03:29.000 John Galt used his reason.

00:03:31.000 He was non-ideological.

00:03:32.000 He was a threat to the regime.

00:03:35.000 John Galt famously gave his Galt's Galt speech, which goes on for like 55 pages, which really is Ayn Rand's personal philosophy.

00:03:45.000 We have our own John Galt right now in America.

00:03:49.000 Someone who was once celebrated by pop culture.

00:03:53.000 Someone who was once celebrated by mass media.

00:03:57.000 And what Ayn Rand beautifully was able to put together in Atlas Shrugged is how a society...

00:04:06.000 Elon Musk was once admired broadly, especially by progressives, for his work with Tesla and SolarCity.

00:04:17.000 Elon Musk was heralded as the innovator that will bring forward great new accomplishments.

00:04:25.000 The future will be delivered by people like Elon Musk.

00:04:30.000 But Musk's trajectory is eerily similar to that of John Galt in many ways.

00:04:36.000 He went from an innovator to an enemy.

00:04:39.000 Just like John Galt, Musk, of course, was wildly heralded.

00:04:45.000 But when his ideals began clashing with collectivist or progressive expectations, that admiration turned into animosity.

00:04:59.000 Musk figured out how to build...

00:05:01.000 He is a genius.

00:05:03.000 Elon Musk went and rescued those two astronauts this week.

00:05:07.000 And did you notice the media barely even whispered a mention or a thank you?

00:05:12.000 Elon Musk saved lives.

00:05:14.000 He is the super genius of our time.

00:05:17.000 From driverless cars to artificial intelligence to Neuralink to the Boring Company to SpaceX.

00:05:24.000 And I will go to college campuses and I will have these kids who hate Elon Musk, who have never paid rent, let alone built a company, have the audacity and the brazen attitude to attack Elon.

00:05:40.000 And this is the kicker, everybody.

00:05:43.000 Is that you are seeing the beginnings of a left-wing communist movement that is beginning to bubble up and...

00:05:53.000 Get to the surface.

00:05:55.000 Now, we're a long way away from any elections, but never underestimate a political movement built on envy.

00:06:03.000 Envy. Jealousy was responsible for the first murder of the Bible. 0.97

00:06:09.000 When Cain killed Abel, God liked one sacrifice, but another, boom!

00:06:15.000 Envy. Murder.

00:06:16.000 Envy. Wanting something.

00:06:20.000 That's why David...

00:06:22.000 Sent Uriah to the front lines.

00:06:25.000 Boom, I wanted Bathsheba. 0.93

00:06:27.000 It's a tale as old as time, and a political movement that is built on taking other people's stuff is very dangerous, everybody.

00:06:38.000 Last evening, Bernie Sanders did an event in downtown Tempe, if you guys can get the picture.

00:06:43.000 Tempe, Arizona, at Arizona State University.

00:06:45.000 He drew a crowd between 13,000 to 15,000 people.

00:06:49.000 Now, of course, it's on a college campus.

00:06:51.000 It's fun to now be resistant against Trump.

00:06:53.000 It's all of that.

00:06:54.000 We're a ways out from an election.

00:06:56.000 Does it bother me or worry me?

00:06:58.000 No, but it certainly draws my attention.

00:07:01.000 Oh, is that AOC in the mom jeans now?

00:07:05.000 Can't quite see that.

00:07:06.000 But no, get the whole crowd.

00:07:07.000 It's worthy of recognition.

00:07:09.000 It's worthy of noticing.

00:07:11.000 Because what is Bernie Sanders' main argument?

00:07:18.000 I am going to take from the innovator.

00:07:21.000 I am going to take from the producer.

00:07:24.000 I am going to steal from Elon Musk.

00:07:30.000 And what has Bernie Sanders ever built?

00:07:32.000 It's a pretty sizable crowd.

00:07:33.000 There you go, on screen.

00:07:35.000 What we are seeing is the beginning of the tension of what Ayn Rand predicted because she understood the psychology of resentment, envy, and greed.

00:07:46.000 And Elon Musk is not greedy whatsoever.

00:07:49.000 He's the one dedicating his time and his treasure back to the country.

00:07:52.000 But if you want to know where the left is going next, this is a little bit of an indicator, a little bit of a harbinger of things to come.

00:08:01.000 And what is the Democrat strategy for elections this year?

00:08:05.000 It's not Trump, Trump, Trump.

00:08:07.000 It's Musk, Musk, Musk.

00:08:09.000 Because Elon Musk allows them an opportunity.

00:08:14.000 To make an argument that Trump did not.

00:08:17.000 It's all about fighting the oligarchy, Bernie Sanders says.

00:08:22.000 It doesn't matter what the race is.

00:08:24.000 It doesn't matter where they are.

00:08:25.000 They think that they're going to be able to position themselves as, we need to go after the productive.

00:08:31.000 And everybody, that will be the downfall of civilization.

00:08:34.000 Now, I don't want to make, you know, too hyperbolic language.

00:08:37.000 We control the White House.

00:08:38.000 They do not.

00:08:39.000 We control the Senate.

00:08:40.000 We control the House.

00:08:42.000 I think everything's just going to be fine, but you must always keep your eyes on the horizon of what is coming next.

00:08:48.000 And that, my friends, is a very serious crowd.

00:08:51.000 That did not just come out ex nihilo, though.

00:08:53.000 If the Democrats would have been smart in 2024, that's the election they would have run.

00:08:58.000 But instead they ran Kamala Harris, and we thank them greatly for that contribution to the Republic.

00:09:05.000 The Democrat base and the Democrat party is going to be one that will be based on the message of We're going to take from the person who lands rockets from space.

00:09:15.000 We're going to take from the person who rescues the astronauts.

00:09:19.000 We are going to take from the people that make the world spin.

00:09:24.000 And in the book Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand spoke about how society was falling apart without the innovator, without the entrepreneur.

00:09:35.000 These are the risk takers, the pioneers, and the innovators.

00:09:38.000 And if you are suffering out there right now, let me tell you, you are not suffering just because Elon Musk is wealthy.

00:09:46.000 This is pure spite that is driving the American left.

00:09:51.000 They want to bankrupt Tesla, one of the only successful manufacturing enterprises started in the last half century in America.

00:09:59.000 These are people that could never build something themselves.

00:10:01.000 Put up AOC and Bernie Sanders on screen.

00:10:04.000 You can't even say that they've built beautiful, functioning families.

00:10:08.000 All that they have been able to build is foment a mob to go try and storm the Bastille to take what other people have earned.

00:10:20.000 And as we try to anticipate what is coming next, be ready because the communists are ready to storm the gate.

00:10:25.000 They want to take the Bastille and the Bolsheviks are ascendant in the Democrat Party. 0.79

00:10:32.000 And Elon has created in his life.

00:10:35.000 The Bolsheviks have never created anything except a long list of complaints and narratives of how they're victims for no good reason. 0.93

00:10:46.000 The world is waking up to the power of gold.

00:10:49.000 National banks are scrambling to secure it.

00:10:52.000 According to the World Gold Council, central banks added 1,000 tons of gold in 2024, the third straight year of net gold buying.

00:11:01.000 They understand what many investors don't.

00:11:04.000 Gold is real money.

00:11:05.000 Unlike paper currency, gold's value doesn't disappear with inflation, reckless government spending or market crashes.

00:11:13.000 Now Noble Gold Investments makes it easy for you to claim your share.

00:11:22.000 When uncertainty rises, you need something solid, something to keep you on the path to financial freedom.

00:11:28.000 Gold can be that foundation.

00:11:38.000 That's noblegoldinvestments.com.

00:11:41.000 The world is turning to gold.

00:11:42.000 Shouldn't you be looking into doing that too?

00:11:46.000 A remarkable new study is out that shows that 20-year-old white men are more right-wing Than 75-year-old white men.

00:11:57.000 And I've been saying this on this program for quite some time.

00:11:59.000 Now I know I'm about to get a bunch of angry emails from folks that are 75-year-old white men.

00:12:06.000 No, I'm just as conservative.

00:12:07.000 You are the exception, not the rule.

00:12:10.000 But I completely believe this.

00:12:12.000 And it doesn't include the audience.

00:12:13.000 But of course this is true.

00:12:16.000 And by the way, this shouldn't make you angry.

00:12:18.000 This should actually make you very happy.

00:12:20.000 This is actually a phenomenal sign of hope for you.

00:12:24.000 20-year-old white men are more right-wing than 75-year-old white men.

00:12:29.000 And traditionally, the idea is the Republican Party is just a bunch of old white men. 0.85

00:12:34.000 Well, now the Republican Party is young and old white men and blacks and Hispanics. 0.76

00:12:40.000 The one demographic, however, that is a big, big, big issue is college-educated women. 1.00

00:12:48.000 It's a major problem.

00:12:49.000 Beyond anything that is really...

00:12:52.000 Easy to explain on this program.

00:12:54.000 I do want to play the Steve Kornacki clip.

00:12:57.000 However, Andrew's right.

00:12:59.000 This is a great example.

00:13:01.000 Now, I'm very pro-life, you know that, and you don't have to even agree with my abortion stances in this clip.

00:13:07.000 But what is important is to look into the mentality and into the window of the tenacity of your average left-leaning, liberal, Democrat activist on campus.

00:13:21.000 So this is 289.

00:13:23.000 By the way, this clip is going very bonkers from the University of Tennessee.

00:13:27.000 This right here is the divide in America.

00:13:30.000 Not even about abortion.

00:13:31.000 The topic is abortion, but just look at how she processes information.

00:13:38.000 Before I play the piece of tape, let me prove this point further.

00:13:41.000 In male self-help books, you will find words such as must and ought.

00:13:52.000 And should.

00:13:54.000 In male self-help books, it tells men that you need to go do something and you ought to go act.

00:14:04.000 Get off your tail and be better.

00:14:08.000 In women self-help books, it is you deserve. 1.00

00:14:15.000 You should get.

00:14:17.000 The Western women... 1.00

00:14:21.000 The Western female self-help worldview is incredibly narcissistic. 1.00

00:14:28.000 It's incredibly self-centered.

00:14:30.000 It's not about duty or obligation.

00:14:33.000 This is the furthest extrapolation of feminism. 1.00

00:14:36.000 Here's 289.

00:14:37.000 If I just happen to be pregnant.

00:14:39.000 Oh, you don't happen to get pregnant. 0.99

00:14:40.000 It's not like getting COVID.

00:14:41.000 I know how it works.

00:14:42.000 I know how it works.

00:14:43.000 You don't get the flu.

00:14:44.000 I know.

00:14:45.000 How about this?

00:14:45.000 You take responsibility for your orgasms and stop eliminating people smaller than you.

00:14:50.000 So you're saying I should carry a baby and ruin my collegiate life?

00:14:54.000 How about this?

00:14:55.000 Instead of saying ruin, first of all, babies are a blessing.

00:14:57.000 Stop talking at them as if they're some sort of annoyance.

00:15:00.000 I will have to drop out of college.

00:15:02.000 Number two, number two, if...

00:15:04.000 You play certain games, you win certain prizes.

00:15:07.000 If you're going to go have sex...

00:15:08.000 So you're saying I should drop out of college to support my child and supporting my life?

00:15:13.000 I'm saying if you're going to engage in coitus, in the practice of having children, you might end up with a baby.

00:15:21.000 So know that.

00:15:21.000 And guess what?

00:15:22.000 You don't need to have sex before you get married. 1.00

00:15:24.000 It's not like showering.

00:15:25.000 It's not like eating.

00:15:26.000 Are you married?

00:15:27.000 Yes, with two beautiful children.

00:15:29.000 Wow, good for you.

00:15:30.000 I could tell you're not married.

00:15:32.000 Yeah. If you see, why are young men gravitating towards conservatism?

00:15:38.000 Because it's about responsibility, about order, about duty, about reason.

00:15:41.000 Why are young women gravitating towards the Democrat Party? 1.00

00:15:44.000 Because many of them are like her.

00:15:46.000 What do you mean?

00:15:47.000 Are you going to tell me that I might have to drop out of college?

00:15:51.000 Essentially, I don't want to take any responsibility for my actions.

00:15:55.000 And again, it's not even about the abortion thing.

00:15:57.000 It's actually much more psychologically interesting and deeper than that.

00:16:00.000 That's just a manifestation of a deeper political problem.

00:16:04.000 Which is that I don't want to have to grow up.

00:16:09.000 I want to remain in charge of everything all the time and do what feels good, not what I ought to do.

00:16:17.000 You see, men are gravitating towards this idea of duty.

00:16:21.000 Young ladies are gravitating towards this idea of license and licentiousness. 0.63

00:16:26.000 And in that video, I sensed emptiness in her, and I do have compassion for her.

00:16:31.000 And that is why young women increasingly are incredibly suicidal, incredibly depressed, incredibly drug-addicted, far more likely to be on antidepressants, because that leads you into a very sad, vacuous existence.

00:16:46.000 And that's what liberalism does.

00:16:48.000 Liberalism, as its furthest extrapolation, is a cultural suicide cult.

00:16:56.000 With President Trump making massive strides in his first month in office, alone to deliver on campaign promises to make America great again, it's clear his administration is committed to driving down costs and unleashing prosperity across our country.

00:17:09.000 But Big Pharma is standing in the way.

00:17:11.000 They've raised prices on over 575 brand-name drugs in January alone, blocked competition, and spent millions pushing overpriced meds on hardworking Americans.

00:17:21.000 Now they're pressuring Congress To implement mandates that will undermine the one real check against drug companies and ban the very market-based incentives that help employers and families save on prescriptions and healthcare costs.

00:17:34.000 Even worse, Big Pharma wants to strip American employers of the freedom to choose health benefits that work best for them.

00:17:41.000 Their proposals could hand Big Pharma a $32 billion money grab at the expense of American employers and families.

00:17:47.000 Conservatives for lower healthcare costs warns that Big Pharma isn't on our side.

00:17:51.000 They fought against solutions to lower drug prices during Trump's first term, opposed Bobby Kennedy's nomination to HHS to make America healthy again, and now they want even more government control over the private healthcare market, interfering with President Trump's promise to cut prescription drug costs.

00:18:06.000 Big Pharma is no friend of the American people.

00:18:08.000 Go to pharmawindfall.com to demand fair healthcare practices, protect the private market, and fight Big Pharma's greed.

00:18:16.000 Congress can put a stop to this.

00:18:17.000 You can make a difference.

00:18:18.000 Let's fight back.

00:18:19.000 Visit pharmawindfall.com.

00:18:23.000 Joining us now is Senator Mike Lee from the great state of Utah.

00:18:26.000 Senator, thank you so much for taking the time.

00:18:28.000 Thank you for having me.

00:18:29.000 Senator, what do you make of this rise of left-wing terrorism targeted at Tesla and Elon Musk?

00:18:36.000 My fear, Senator, and I hope I'm wrong, and let's stay in prayer that I'm wrong, that someone is going to get shot the same way that Steve Scalise got shot and, God forbid, killed.

00:18:46.000 The left is creating a pressure cooker with so many of their rank and file paramilitary troops that very well might result in one of us getting shot or killed.

00:18:57.000 God forbid that happens.

00:18:58.000 We're getting death threats every single day here on The Charlie Kirk Show.

00:19:01.000 Senator Mike Lee, your thoughts?

00:19:04.000 This is what domestic terrorism does.

00:19:07.000 This is what domestic terrorism looks like.

00:19:10.000 They very much want people to be in fear.

00:19:13.000 That's why they do it.

00:19:14.000 They understand that people understand that there is a risk of bodily harm or even death in these kinds of circumstances, and that's designed to induce fear.

00:19:24.000 One of the many problems with this is that these folks apparently feel at liberty to do this.

00:19:28.000 They've been trained by the radical left to think that there will be no consequence to them for doing this, that they'll be applauded, that they'll be rewarded.

00:19:37.000 This isn't going to end well for them, and it's not going to end well for the country.

00:19:40.000 It's got to come to a stop.

00:19:42.000 One of the things that is missing in all of this, we haven't seen politicians on the left, elected officeholders in the Democratic Party, in any significant numbers coming out and saying, stop this madness.

00:19:54.000 End this.

00:19:55.000 Stop the death threats.

00:19:56.000 Stop the painting of the slasticas, the vandalism, all forms of violence.

00:20:02.000 Knock it off.

00:20:03.000 You've seen that almost not at all.

00:20:05.000 Representative Ro Khanna is one of the few who has come out to do it, and I invite.

00:20:10.000 All other Democrats to join him.

00:20:12.000 There's no good reason for them not to, and they must.

00:20:15.000 We have a piece of tape here, I believe, in our library.

00:20:18.000 I'm trying to find it.

00:20:19.000 Jimmy Kimmel, who's supposed to be a funny man, he read on a script, you know, Stop Burning Teslas, but obviously did it as a joke and did it as a way to try to, of course, encourage his audience to burn more Teslas, as he did it with a little bit of a smirk.

00:20:33.000 I'm trying to find the piece of tape here.

00:20:35.000 We have so much tape.

00:20:36.000 It's 195.

00:20:37.000 Thank you, Ryan.

00:20:38.000 Let's play Cut 195, please.

00:20:40.000 And he fired them immediately upon landing.

00:20:42.000 Tesla stock is way down, almost disastrously so.

00:20:46.000 People have been vandalizing Tesla vehicles, new Tesla vehicles.

00:20:55.000 Please don't vandalize, don't ever vandalize Tesla vehicles.

00:20:59.000 And so, Elon Musk has been making the rounds in the right-wing media.

00:21:06.000 Senator, your reaction?

00:21:07.000 This isn't funny.

00:21:09.000 It's not cute.

00:21:10.000 It shouldn't be allowed on public airwaves.

00:21:14.000 And I'm frankly stunned that his network hasn't called him out on it, hasn't apologized, hasn't taken some action against him for doing this.

00:21:23.000 This is disgraceful.

00:21:25.000 Regardless of what your political views are as an American, you should be able to look at this objectively and say, you know, violence and acts of vandalism aren't a good thing.

00:21:37.000 And if you're going to comment on that, either say something that's actually funny, which this wasn't, or ideally pair it with something suggesting that people not do it.

00:21:48.000 Instead, he did the opposite.

00:21:49.000 That is shameful.

00:21:50.000 And yet Disney is not going to have a single advertiser drop, not a single advertiser say, you know, I don't know, that might go a little bit too far.

00:21:58.000 Let's continue here.

00:22:00.000 This is Tim Waltz, a sitting governor of a state, cheering on the downfall.

00:22:06.000 of an American manufacturing public company.

00:22:10.000 Tim Walz is cheering for people to lose their jobs.

00:22:14.000 These people are arsonists.

00:22:15.000 And Tim Walz knows something about arson because his creepy wife enjoyed the smell of arson during Floydapalooza. 1.00

00:22:23.000 Real thing.

00:22:25.000 Playcut 196.

00:22:27.000 I'm saying on my phone, I don't know, some of you know this on the iPhone, they've got that little stock app.

00:22:31.000 I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day.

00:22:36.000 $2.25 and dropping.

00:22:42.000 And if you own one, if you own one, we're not blaming you.

00:22:47.000 You can take dental floss and pull the Tesla thing off, you know, and take out just telling you.

00:22:53.000 Senator, the approach from the left seems to be all-out maximalist cultural terrorism intimidation.

00:23:04.000 Are any of your colleagues on the Senate, I mean, you guys have good relationships with Dems.

00:23:08.000 What are they saying when you confront them in the hall?

00:23:12.000 Like, hey, can you speak out against this?

00:23:14.000 They haven't been inclined to talk about it.

00:23:17.000 And then when Democratic politicians do talk about it, they at least don't denounce it.

00:23:24.000 Take this comment from Tim Walsh, for example.

00:23:28.000 There's nothing wrong if that's his thing.

00:23:31.000 To monitor the stocks of this or that company and figure out what kind of stock prices make him happy and make him sad.

00:23:41.000 If he wants to celebrate when some company's stock value goes down, it's up to him.

00:23:46.000 It's weird here, even that his own state retirement fund is pretty heavily invested in Tesla, as I understand it.

00:23:53.000 So he's celebrating the diminution in value of his own state.

00:23:59.000 Workers, his own state retirees, retirement benefits.

00:24:03.000 That's kind of weird.

00:24:05.000 But what's doubly weird and concerning is that if he's going to bring up Tesla at all, why wouldn't he take that opportunity to say, by the way, regardless of whether you want to celebrate when Tesla's stock price goes down, knock it off with the violence.

00:24:20.000 He didn't do that.

00:24:21.000 There's a reason he didn't do that.

00:24:22.000 And I fear what it means for the future of our country.

00:24:27.000 And Democrats should fear what that means for the future of the Democratic Party.

00:24:30.000 So I now want your thoughts here, Senator, on the nationwide injunction crisis.

00:24:35.000 Is there anything Congress will do to slow down this disturbing trend?

00:24:40.000 Look, there are things that can be done.

00:24:43.000 I'll be introducing legislation next week that would require a separate procedure to be followed for this type of injunction.

00:24:51.000 When I mean this type of injunction, I mean a type of injunction that has nationwide applicability.

00:24:56.000 Within the U.S. government and is focused on a presidential policy decision, those should have to go, rather than being considered by a single federal district judge, they should have to go before a three-judge district court panel.

00:25:14.000 This is a procedure that's utilized in some limited cases, most of them dealing with the apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives or the drawing of federal legislative boundaries.

00:25:26.000 But we could add this to the list, and that's what my legislation would do, make it infinitely more difficult to game the system, to judge shop, to file the case in a place that suggests from the outset you'll get a very favorable audience from a leftist judge.

00:25:43.000 And then, just as importantly, anytime you've got a three-judge district court panel, you've got an immediate automatic appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, not the opportunity to seek certiorari.

00:25:55.000 Or discretionary review from the Supreme Court, which is how it usually works there, but rather a direct appeal, meaning the Supreme Court has to review it, or if it chooses not to, it's still setting precedent.

00:26:07.000 This would expedite the process, diminish the amount of time that these leftist activist judges could tie up the Trump administration in these legal proceedings. 0.94

00:26:21.000 And it would also dramatically impair the ability of the plaintiffs to judge Shep so as to rig the system in their favor.

00:26:30.000 So, in closing here, Senator, it seems as if that this new pattern of nationwide injunctions is the norm, not the exception.

00:26:41.000 The Supreme Court has to meet and they have to try to reconcile this for the good of the country and the republic.

00:26:50.000 suppose the question I have here is, as someone yourself who really cares about the law and the application, Yeah, this is maybe roughly analogous to the fact that there are circumstances in which...

00:27:19.000 A direct order from someone in your chain of command at the military isn't something that you follow.

00:27:24.000 I don't know that the parallel works exactly, but yeah, there are theoretical limits beyond which a chief executive might deem it appropriate not to follow something.

00:27:36.000 It's got to be a matter of individual discretion.

00:27:39.000 And the circumstance that we saw last week, the thing that the court was trying to stop had already happened, that was already underway.

00:27:48.000 So that's a different set of circumstances than what you were describing.

00:27:52.000 Senator, thank you so much for your leadership.

00:28:12.000 I hope we can rein in this black... 1.00

00:28:15.000 Thanks so much.

00:28:18.000 Thank you.

00:29:19.000 I need to now play this piece of tape from the data guy, Steve Kornacki at MSNBC, where he's analyzing...

00:29:26.000 The only group that is supporting DEI, the only group is white women with college degrees.

00:29:33.000 I do not know how to solve this problem.

00:29:36.000 I am open to suggestions.

00:29:38.000 But white women with college degrees are so infected. 1.00

00:29:44.000 I also bet they tend to be a little bit more secular, a little less serious about their faith.

00:29:51.000 It can take time.

00:29:53.000 Many people have come around, but the data is the data.

00:29:56.000 You have to look at this.

00:29:57.000 It is chilling stuff.

00:30:00.000 And I always wonder, where are they getting their news and information from?

00:30:04.000 It's not CNN.

00:30:05.000 Their ratings aren't high enough.

00:30:07.000 Maybe it's eat, pray, love type podcasting.

00:30:11.000 Maybe they're watching Love is Blind.

00:30:13.000 Maybe that's where they get their information from.

00:30:15.000 Like Daisy.

00:30:17.000 Play Cut 205.

00:30:19.000 White women with at least a college degree. 0.91

00:30:22.000 The only group of white voters that really kind of is on the left politically, aligned with progressive causes, democratic politics.

00:30:31.000 Give you an example here.

00:30:32.000 It's that DEI question right here that we asked about in our poll.

00:30:37.000 We had two big statements we read to voters.

00:30:39.000 Basically, do you want to continue DEI programs or do you think they should be ended?

00:30:44.000 And again, look at this divide here.

00:30:46.000 White men, no degree, end it. 0.99

00:30:49.000 White men with a degree, end it, they say. 0.66

00:30:51.000 White women, no degree, end it, they say, by double digits. 1.00

00:30:54.000 And then white women with a college degree, completely different, by a nearly 40-point margin, they say, to continue to. 0.99

00:31:03.000 The emphasis should be on the college degree.

00:31:07.000 Now, interestingly, college degrees don't infect college young men or men as much as young women.

00:31:14.000 White college indoctrinated women will ruin America if we let them. 1.00

00:31:18.000 They are brainwashed.

00:31:20.000 They are completely indoctrinated.

00:31:21.000 I see it every single day.

00:31:23.000 And again, the worldview that is being uploaded to young women on a daily basis is hyper-narcissistic, hyper-selfish.

00:31:33.000 I am the only one that matters.

00:31:35.000 Who are you to tell me how I should act?

00:31:37.000 And it makes them miserable.

00:31:40.000 Women are norms enforcers. 1.00

00:31:42.000 It's biology.

00:31:43.000 Women are not technically or traditionally very strong individually.

00:31:47.000 They are more likely to follow societal norms and customs and narratives.

00:31:51.000 And the ones we have are poisonous.

00:31:54.000 Let me say that again.

00:31:54.000 Women are less likely to defy authority.

00:31:57.000 They're less likely to challenge authority.

00:31:59.000 They're more likely to wear the mask and get nine booster shots.

00:32:02.000 And so when societal norms are terrible, they follow them.

00:32:07.000 And they follow the crowd.

00:32:09.000 That is what women do. 1.00

00:32:11.000 Thankfully, though, broadly, the country thinks poorly of the Democrat Party.

00:32:15.000 A death blow clip.

00:32:17.000 Cut to 10, Steve Kornacki.

00:32:19.000 We found something we've never found before in more than 30 years of this poll.

00:32:24.000 What you're looking at here is the image of each political party, the Democrats and the Republicans.

00:32:29.000 And look at this, this blue, it's the Democrats, minus 28, it says.

00:32:35.000 What does that mean?

00:32:35.000 It means that when we ask this, do you have a positive or negative view of the party?

00:32:39.000 Just 27% of voters say they have a positive image of the Democratic Party, 55%.

00:32:47.000 Say they think of the Democratic Party negatively.

00:32:49.000 That's negative 28 points.

00:32:51.000 This is the trend line.

00:32:52.000 Going back 30 years, you can see neither party has ever come anywhere near as close to this.

00:32:57.000 It's fallen off a cliff that number has for Democrats since the election.

00:33:02.000 Building a political party around toxic femininity and shrill hall monitor enforcement turns out to be broadly very unpopular with the American people.

00:33:16.000 The Democrat Party seems uninterested in adjusting itself, uninterested in modernizing.

00:33:24.000 Here's Jamal Bowman, 356.

00:33:27.000 That's not true.

00:33:28.000 And this shows, again, the American people do not trust Elon Musk.

00:33:32.000 And Elon Musk is incompetent in his position.

00:33:36.000 And how do we know?

00:33:37.000 Because they fired tens of thousands of people.

00:33:39.000 It was challenged in court.

00:33:41.000 The court said the people have to go back, and now the people are coming back.

00:33:44.000 He's incompetent.

00:33:46.000 He's a thief, he's a Nazi, and people don't trust him. 0.95

00:33:50.000 Period. Let me just...

00:33:52.000 Doesn't he have a fire alarm to go pull?

00:33:55.000 And I think I heard a smoke detector.

00:33:57.000 You see, Jamal Bowman is the worst of all of the Democrats.

00:34:01.000 He is not very bright, incredibly hostile and aggressive, and that's who they want to build their party around.

00:34:14.000 That incompetent Nazi, as you'd put it, Jamal Bowman, just rescued astronauts. 0.69

00:34:18.000 What have you ever built in your life?

00:34:21.000 And that is the Democrat Party.

00:34:24.000 They're angry, bitter, spiteful.

00:34:27.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
