00:00:50.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:26.000So, Senator, you and I were texting last evening.
00:01:29.000And of course, I mean, Biden was lying and speaking on both sides of his mouth and was not genuine in his approach to these issues.
00:01:38.000But you and I both agreed that there was certainly an emphasis, a focus on some of the principles that the MAGA movement have been talking about the last couple of years.
00:01:52.000Well, listen, I thought that Joe Biden last night tried to sound like a light Donald Trump.
00:01:58.000I mean, he talked about the forgotten man.
00:02:00.000At one point, he went on this long, this long passage about the forgotten man.
00:02:03.000And you're right to what you said, Charlie, about, you know, in the chamber, Biden, he flurs his words, he stumbles over his lines, he talks through applause lines.
00:02:11.000So you can only hear about a third of it.
00:02:14.000But I was really quite, it caught my attention.
00:02:18.000This is definitely an attempt by the Democrats that they realize that their actual agenda of going after working people, of going after working class culture, of going after our heritage as a nation, is a loser.
00:02:31.000And there are a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them.
00:02:33.000So what they've decided to do is bury that.
00:02:35.000Biden tried to bury all of that last night and instead get back to this blue-collar rhetoric that, of course, his policies have nothing to do with.
00:02:43.000But I thought politically it was a savvy move on his part, and I hope Republicans are ready for it.
00:02:49.000Because I can tell you, Charlie, if Republicans are just standing around talking about what they're going to do for corporations, it ain't going to work.
00:02:56.000I mean, we have got to talk to working people.
00:02:59.000Yeah, it seemed to me, look, Biden is obviously nothing more.
00:03:03.000You can call him a puppet, you can call him a spokesperson.
00:03:05.000He just, they input whatever the artificial intelligence machine tells him, chat GPT, and he reads it.
00:03:10.000So it's not his own original thoughts, but there's certainly a group of really smart Democrats that have 100 different pieces of data on every single swing state voter.
00:03:21.000And it seemed to me that the thing that jumped off the page and I reread the speech was that nationalism, not corporatism, patriotism, not neoliberalism or globalism, is going to determine the White House in 2024.
00:04:07.000And I think that Biden's people are beginning to realize this.
00:04:11.000They realize how toxic their policies have been that they're so committed to that are hollowing out the center of this nation.
00:04:17.000And so they want to paper over that rhetorically.
00:04:19.000What Republicans have to do is expose the charade, right?
00:04:23.000Expose the lies that actually they're the ones who are going after working America.
00:04:28.000They're the ones who are weakening this nation.
00:04:30.000But to do that, we've got to put forward an agenda that will make this country strong, that will protect our culture, that will protect our values.
00:04:46.000You are the exception to this, is that for low propensity voters, for moderates and independents, their view of Joe Biden, it's very hard for those voters to get to a place of hatred of Joe Biden.
00:04:59.000I think one of Biden's political superpowers is to be unbelievably radical, unpopular, but unlike Obama or Hillary, less people hate him.
00:05:37.000However, I got, at least through some of, I got the impression last evening that if Joe Biden even moderates some of his views a little bit and we just continue the same ways of attacking him, there is either a sympathy component to this and or, you know, Joe Biden and the Democrat machine are going to try to be a Democrat version of MAGA.
00:06:04.000And I think this is important, Senator, because the neoliberal forces within the Republican Party want their power back.
00:06:12.000And wouldn't it be tragic if the Democrats run more nationalistic than Republicans?
00:06:22.000I thought Biden's speech last night was an attempt to begin to pivot over to a more pro-America nationalist agenda.
00:06:30.000Here's the thing, though, about Biden is, above all, he's old.
00:06:33.000He represents the past and he represents the failed past.
00:06:37.000He represents the Democrat Party that for years now has hated this country, that thinks that we are racist, that thinks that we are fundamentally corrupt, that has hollowed out our industry, that has capitulated to China, that has made us weaker, that has tried to destroy our culture.
00:06:53.000We have to make the case that it is time to turn the page on that, that we can be stronger, that we can be better, that there's something to hope for for the future.
00:07:03.000Whatever else Joe Biden represents, it ain't the future.
00:07:05.000We've got to talk about the future of this nation can be strong and it can be something worth getting up for in the morning.
00:07:12.000But we've got to put forward a positive nationalist agenda to do that.
00:07:33.000You want to create a legal age for kids to be able to access social media.
00:07:39.000I just personally am getting a little annoyed that the Democrats are even allowed to get any sort of political popularity out of this.
00:07:46.000We're the ones that are actually Republicans and conservatives that are being harmed the most by these tech companies.
00:07:51.000We've been talking about it, but now the Democrats, all of a sudden, after these companies have done such damage, they're kind of tinkering on the edges.
00:07:58.000Tell us about your plan, but also comment on Joe Biden talking about tech companies in a speech last evening.
00:08:07.000Well, you know why there's an opening for Democrats in Biden to use the rhetoric, at least, Charlie.
00:08:11.000And the reason is Republican leaders haven't done anything.
00:09:02.000I dread the day when they will want to be.
00:09:04.000And as a parent, I would love it if there would be a requirement that you can't even get on a social media account of your own until you're 16.
00:09:11.000I think every parent in America would love it.
00:09:13.000It would put power into the hands of parents.
00:11:48.000These are highly sophisticated narratives that are then distilled into packaged sound bites to try and keep and hold on to political power.
00:11:57.000However, I will agree with, let's just say a little bit of an intense email we received, but he's not wrong.
00:12:05.000Ken said something here that was a little bit fired up.
00:12:08.000I'm not going to read the whole email, but the sentiment and the attitude is, Charlie, the messaging doesn't really matter because what does matter in 2024 is the machinery.
00:12:18.000Before we go into the specifics of the speech, I feel obligated to share one of my initial reactions when I saw the deranged foreign agent that calls himself our president meandering through the center hall, randomly giving hugs and kisses to every Democrat in the kind of center aisle.
00:12:37.000And I thought to myself, they can run him again in 2024.
00:12:41.000I have made predictions that they're going to try to replace him, but I think that actually the jury is out right now.
00:12:47.000And the reason being is they are very confident in the machinery that they have developed in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania.
00:13:00.000Why was I in Dana Point at the Republican National Committee?
00:13:03.000Why was I trying to lobby RNC members?
00:14:44.000One of the reasons why I was in Dana Point, California, advocating for regime change at the RNC was we need sharp and smart lawyers that are willing to go into the courtroom and win.
00:14:57.000So as I saw Joe Biden kind of meander his way on up to give his speech, I said, yeah, they could run him again and they could implement him again for sure.
00:15:12.000He needs to lace his speech with some themes and some elements I find to be interesting and we'll talk about that.
00:15:17.000But more important than the messaging, more important than what he's running on, is the machinery, the grinding of the gears that they have built through lawfare, through ballot chasing, through relaxed signature verification requirements, through mass early voting, through all of these different elements.
00:15:38.000They think they believe they're very confident, almost cocky, which will end up being a liability for them, that they can run anybody.
00:15:45.000They could put anybody in the machine and be successful.
00:15:56.000This is not about rallies, which I love and they do help.
00:16:00.000This is a contest about who can get the most pieces of paper into the box over the course of a week, a month, or however long the game called an election lasts.
00:16:13.000And so I am going to, on this program, we'll talk about messaging.
00:16:21.000But my obligation to you, the audience, is to be honest, which is our failure or our success to build a robust ballot chasing machine that focuses on election integrity and expanding the window of which our voters vote will be determinative of our success in 2024.
00:16:43.000They can run John Fetterman for president and be successful with their current machine and the lack of one on the Republican Party.
00:16:56.000I want to tell you guys about COVID tax relief.
00:16:59.000COVID Tax Relief is an amazing service that exists for you because of Washington, D.C.'s addiction to overspending.
00:17:08.000Again, I'm not a fan that this money exists or that's out there or that it's available, but as they say, it is what it is.
00:17:14.000Look, COVIDTaxRelief.org got a small retail business, almost $80,000.
00:17:19.000COVIDTaxRelief.org got a manufacturing business, nearly $250,000.
00:17:23.000COVIDTaxRelief.org got a large distribution business, almost $900,000.
00:17:28.000If you run a business, church or nonprofit and paid your employees through all or part of the pandemic, you could qualify for up to $26,000 per employee through the Government Cares Act.
00:17:37.000COVIDTaxRelief.org receives a low commission, very reasonable, only after you receive the money.
00:18:27.000They have people that are in the courts fighting for lawfare.
00:18:31.000And they've built this permanent election infrastructure in a couple states, in particular, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona.
00:18:39.000This infrastructure is about $150 to $200 million every cycle to sustain.
00:18:45.000This is why they revere Stacey Abrams, despite the fact that she's never really won a major election except being a state senator.
00:18:53.000The reason they really like Stacey Abrams is Stacey Abrams successfully was able to hire the people, onboard them, and put them to work to, of course, do things full of shenanigans and sneaky operations.
00:19:07.000But the point is that Georgia has now become a quote-unquote blue state, which is nonsense in some regard, but it has two Democrat senators.
00:19:14.000It sent electoral votes to the Electoral College for Joe Biden.
00:19:18.000And look, I'm not saying these people won.
00:19:42.000More important, though, can you get the election close so then your machine, the ballot chasers, the operatives on the ground, the community organizers are eventually then able to get you to a place where they can deem you the winner.
00:19:58.000This is exactly why I was so focused at the RNC, the Republican National Committee race.
00:20:03.000Obviously, our effort, we were not successful.
00:20:06.000However, I have zero reservations about what I did.
00:20:08.000I'm really thankful I did because we fought as hard as we could.
00:20:10.000I wish more people would have gotten involved.
00:20:45.000They are confident that if they just lie and they lace our messaging within that, that their political beast, their data operation, the artificial intelligence, the modeling, the predictive behavior, the back-end access they have to social media sites, they believe that their death star, if you will, will be able to produce a favorable outcome for them regardless of who they run.
00:21:54.000America's rallying the world to meet those challenges from climate to global health to food insecurity to terrorism to territorial aggression.
00:22:03.000Allies are stepping up, spending more and doing more.
00:22:06.000At times throughout the speech, at times, I felt like I was watching a different country's State of the Union.
00:22:15.000The values that he was espousing as important, as necessary, or critical were so distant from what I know are core American values.
00:22:25.000At times, he did moderate himself and anchored himself in just normal, common sense, poll-tested narratives, which, of course, he doesn't believe a word of.
00:22:35.000He says, let's pass the Bipartisan Equality Act to ensure LGBTQ Americans, especially transgender young people, can live with dignity and safety, aka get their private parts chopped off, be chemically castrated, be preyed on by the psychiatric industry, all the while going after nonprofits and churches.
00:22:56.000The Equality Act is anything but equality.
00:22:58.000The, if you will, the teeth on the Equality Act is the penalization of churches or nonprofits that do not believe in their modern definition of marriage, which is not marriage at all.
00:23:37.000It's also passed the Bipartisan Equality Act to ensure LGBTQ Americans, especially transgender young people, can live with safety and dignity.
00:24:15.000It should bother you that Republicans are so bad at representing their voters that it opens up an opportunity for Joe Biden to just kind of swoop in and to pretend to not be a Marxist neoliberal, which of course he is.
00:24:34.000Before I came to office, the story was about how the People's Republic of China was increasing its power and America was failing in the world.
00:26:05.000To the best of my recollection, when I was at Twitter, it would mean that we would not recommend or amplify that content in the parts of Twitter where Twitter was making recommendations.
00:27:42.000Cut 82 continues with the oversight of Twitter, PlayCut 82.
00:27:46.000So the user knows when their account's been suspended or blocked, but they don't know when they have some of these gold terms that were under Mr. Bongino and Mr. Kirk.
00:28:12.000What I want to know, was that, did you know, Mr. Roth, if that was at the prompting of anyone from the government?
00:28:17.000Gentlemen, time's expired, but please answer the question.
00:28:20.000No, sir, I'm not aware of any requests or orders or demands or anything from the government requesting that visibility filtering be applied to those accounts or any others.
00:28:29.000Yeah, look, that's a really important question because Yoel Roth was bragging internally that he would have a standing weekly meeting with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
00:28:42.000But Jordan had the perfect follow-up, which is who actually put Charlie Kirk and Dan Bongino's Twitter account into the threat assessment tag of do not amplify.
00:28:54.000This did not just happen out of nowhere.
00:29:41.000The push from Labor Day to Election Day, 2020, morals, ethics were cast aside to displace a ruler.
00:29:55.000I don't think we use the analogy enough with the deep state going after Trump and all that, but it's very similar.
00:30:03.000If you read the Shakespearean drama Julius Caesar, it's very similar to kind of the inner reasoning that a lot of people around Caesar use that we got to get rid of this guy.
00:30:21.000At no point did Twitter otherwise prevent tweeting, reporting, discussing, or describing the contents of Mr. Biden's laptop.
00:30:28.000People could and did talk about the contents of the laptop on Twitter or anywhere else, including other much larger platforms, but they were prevented from sharing the primary documents on Twitter.
00:30:39.000As Mr. Dorsey testified before Congress on multiple occasions, Twitter changed its policy within 24 hours and admitted its initial action was wrong.
00:30:48.000In hindsight, Twitter should have reinstated the Post account immediately.
00:30:52.000Yeah, in hindsight, we should have reinstated it, but they got what they wanted, which is regime change.
00:30:57.000And the intelligence agencies are good at that.
00:30:59.000Jordan is touching on the most important point of this, because these are all former employees that are lawyered up to the heavens.
00:31:05.000But Jordan is starting to get to the central nervous system of why this story matters, Jordan being Jim Jordan.
00:31:12.000And Jim Jordan is foreshadowing and tilting the weaponization of government committee, which is going to be a lot more consequential and have real teeth and hopefully get to something that is really, really important, which is: all right, yeah, you guys are all a bunch of wokey activists.
00:31:27.000You're pseudo-academic professors and all that sort of stuff.
00:31:32.000But did our government tell you to do it?
00:31:37.000And I think Jordan is looking to move ahead, which I find to be really important and critical.
00:31:44.000Was our own federal government actively involved, interested, insistent, incentivizing the censorship activity of Twitter?
00:31:56.000Was there a public-private partnership working in tandem between the employees at Twitter and their behaviors and the federal Bureau of Investigation, maybe Department of Homeland Security, unlikely the Central Intelligence Agency, but it's just anything goes now?
00:32:13.000I wouldn't be surprised if the CIA was involved with Twitter for international type stuff.
00:32:23.000But Jim Jordan is going a level deeper and he deserves credit for that.
00:32:27.000I don't know if he'll be successful or not, but he certainly is trying and he's going in the right direction, which is like, okay, oh, you guys are a bunch of activists, whatever, it's fine, but we're not actually going to be able to get structural, meaningful change and/or revelations until we find out how the federal government is involved.
