00:02:16.000 I want to get to just some congratulatory news.
00:02:19.000 Human Events, I write a column for Human Events every week, humanevents.com.
00:02:24.000 They do a great job.
00:02:25.000 A friend of mine, Jack Pasebik, has now joined Human Events as a senior editor.
00:02:29.000 So congratulations, Jack, and the Human Events team.
00:02:32.000 That is a big deal.
00:02:33.000 And I encourage all of you to keep your eyes on Human Events to explain what's happening in the country.
00:02:38.000 Will Chamberlain does a great job, my friend Jeff Webb, amongst many others, from a pro-American intellectual perspective that I think is really missing on the landscape right now.
00:02:48.000 So congratulations, Jack.
00:02:52.000 What makes the current ruling class in America different?
00:02:57.000 My other very good friend, who also does a great job at Breitbart.com, has a new book out called Breaking the News.
00:03:03.000 Alex Marlow, he filled in for us last week.
00:03:05.000 I encourage all of you to check out that book, Breaking the News.
00:03:08.000 Alex Marlowe has been teasing this for months, saying that there is a new George Soros, saying that there's a new person on the scene that is spending just massive sums of money, almost unfathomable amounts of money, to try and remake America in the image that they so desire.
00:03:32.000 I've been trying to get it out of Alex for months of who this person is, but he was very disciplined.
00:03:36.000 I got to give Alex credit.
00:03:37.000 He said, nope, I am not going to tell you who this person is.
00:03:40.000 Now, he kind of gave it away, and I guessed incorrectly.
00:03:44.000 I gave half of a good, I was close because he said at some point, he said, well, he or she, so I called him up privately after the interview.
00:03:52.000 I said, Alex, you would only say he or she if it was, in fact, a woman.
00:03:55.000 And he said, oh, you're very smart.
00:03:57.000 I said, no, just observant.
00:03:59.000 It's a difference.
00:04:00.000 And so I guessed incorrectly it was Alice Walton.
00:04:04.000 But the new George Soros, according to Alex Marlowe, and the facts speak for themselves, it's rather amazing, is, I think she pronounces her name Laureen or Lauren, Powell Jobs.
00:04:16.000 So what did Lauren or Laureen, Powell Jobs do to be worth $19 billion?
00:04:25.000 Worth $19 billion.
00:04:27.000 Has spent money and owns the Atlantic magazine, owns Axios, major investor in Now This, seven-figure contributor to Democrat causes all up and down the liberal Democrat spectrum.
00:04:43.000 She helped found the Emerson Collective, which is a dark money group, which is always used as a term to attack conservatives.
00:04:54.000 Where did she make her money? 1.00
00:04:55.000 Did she build the railroads of our country? 1.00
00:04:57.000 Did she modernize the way that we transport goods and services? 0.90
00:05:04.000 Did she come up with some form of a new way to communicate?
00:05:09.000 Was she a talented songwriter, a musician?
00:05:13.000 Nope. 0.96
00:05:15.000 She married well. 0.88
00:05:17.000 She, of course, married Steve Jobs.
00:05:19.000 Steve Jobs passed away, and she is the heiress of Steve Jobs' fortune.
00:05:25.000 She owns 7% of the Walt Disney Company. 0.74
00:05:27.000 Yes, that Walt Disney company that is teaching your children that transgenderism is the norm and the most divisive racial political beliefs you can imagine.
00:05:41.000 She owns, I think, 7.3% of Walt Disney, which is a massive amount. 0.66
00:05:45.000 Not to mention all the Apple stock as well. 0.75
00:05:49.000 So she didn't make her money the way that typical industrialists in America would have made their money.
00:05:56.000 This is unearned wealth.
00:06:00.000 I think it's a very dangerous thing when you have someone that has massive amounts of unearned wealth.
00:06:07.000 Unearned, massive sums of money make the perfect social activists.
00:06:14.000 Earn is my favorite word in the English language.
00:06:17.000 I got this from my friend Dennis Prager.
00:06:20.000 It's a uniquely English word, and it's an American value.
00:06:25.000 It's not that you embedded in the word earn is this idea that you woke up earlier than somebody else.
00:06:32.000 You proved to some other person through voluntary association that you should be given the wage.
00:06:38.000 You should be given the bonus.
00:06:39.000 There's a fulfillment to earned success.
00:06:44.000 But on the opposite, when something is unearned, there's almost a feeling that starts to set in.
00:06:51.000 Guilt.
00:06:53.000 I just gave a speech in the villages, and it will soon be on our podcast.
00:06:56.000 I encourage you all to check it out, where I believe that Americans' inability to deal with guilt is one of the major reasons we are seeing the politics we are seeing.
00:07:05.000 Money they did not earn.
00:07:08.000 Feeling guilty just simply because of the color of their skin.
00:07:14.000 If you are not able to process who you are and why you do what you do and explain yourself in a reasonable or rational way, and you are always driven by guilt, which, by the way, is not a Christian value.
00:07:26.000 You should not feel any form of guilt if you have actually sought reconciliation and redemption.
00:07:33.000 Guilt is a major driver of our politics today.
00:07:37.000 Go give a contribution because your existence is something that warrants it. 1.00
00:07:45.000 So Laureen Powell Jobs or Lauren, whatever, however she pronounces her name, She is now, according to Alex Marlowe, editor of Breitbart.com, the new George Soros, pumping millions and millions of dollars towards social leftist activist causes.
00:08:08.000 And so I want to be very clear. 0.99
00:08:09.000 She does not want to destroy America.
00:08:13.000 She wants it to be hers.
00:08:15.000 And it's not just her.
00:08:16.000 There is an entire network of Jeff Bezos to Zuckerberg, of these oligarchs that are pumping in billions of dollars.
00:08:25.000 Mark Zuckerberg put $400 million through the Center for Technology and Civic Life into this last election.
00:08:31.000 $400 million.
00:08:34.000 Jeff Bezos, with his play money, owns the Washington Post, which propagandizes you and your children through Apple News.
00:08:43.000 Thank you, Laureen Powell Jobs.
00:08:46.000 So what you have here is a technology ecosystem that has been built through businesses of largely unearned wealth.
00:08:56.000 Now, some could say that Jeff Bezos earned his wealth.
00:09:01.000 I think that's probably somewhat true.
00:09:04.000 Do I think that he gamed the U.S. Postal Service?
00:09:07.000 Yes.
00:09:07.000 Do I think that he misleads the type of company he is?
00:09:09.000 He's just a server company that loses money intentionally to take over other small businesses.
00:09:15.000 But I think there's something fundamentally different about making massive sums of money in this new technology era and the ways that people made money in the early 1900s, 1950s, and 1980s.
00:09:27.000 You see, technology has led to fast immediate wealth creation, where you have these Bitcoin billionaires overnight.
00:09:35.000 And it's earned so quickly and so exorbitantly that the excesses is a problem that have never been quite confronted before by America's ruling class.
00:09:46.000 And then so you have this uninterrupted spigot of cash and people that don't know how to deal with it in a weighing form of guilt.
00:09:53.000 And instead of deploying that capital towards the betterment of the country, they instead have to wrestle with their guilt.
00:10:00.000 They have to pay the penance.
00:10:02.000 They have to instead, almost in a way, go through a selling of the indulgences.
00:10:12.000 I will give to BLM Incorporated.
00:10:15.000 I will buy the Atlantic as long as you stop calling me bad names.
00:10:19.000 And what I want to explore with you is why are these oligarchs acting this way?
00:10:25.000 And have we ever had a ruling class this rich before in America?
00:10:29.000 The answer is yes, but they acted much different.
00:10:34.000 Look, by now, you've all heard me talk about My Pillow and how Mike has done it again by introducing his My Slippers.
00:10:40.000 Mike Lindell, he's got a lot of ambition.
00:10:43.000 He's a patriot.
00:10:44.000 He loves his country.
00:10:45.000 A lot of people like Mike Lindell.
00:10:47.000 In fact, I get emails from people.
00:10:48.000 They say, Charlie, how can I help you?
00:10:50.000 How can I help Mike Lindell?
00:10:51.000 How can I help the country?

00:11:29.000 Andrew Carnegie is one of the most amazing men ever to live.
00:11:32.000 He is considered a robber baron by historians, and there's probably some truth that the oligarchs, I don't even want to call them that.
00:11:39.000 Let's call them the Titans of Industry in the early 1900s probably had somewhat of a monopolistic control in certain industries.
00:11:47.000 There are certain books that push back against that, but I think that there was a growing anti-capitalist fervor in the early 1900s, and Teddy Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan played into it.
00:11:57.000 And one of the reasons why America never actually had a successful communist revolution the way that other continents did was because Teddy Roosevelt was able to transition the American working class from the farms to the factories with some sort of an agreed-upon principle that the American promise and the American way of life will be protected.
00:12:14.000 The Russian Romanov dynasty made no such efforts, and they were overthrown by Vladimir Lenin.
00:12:20.000 Woodrow Wilson, probably America's worst president, besides Lyndon Baines Johnson and our current one right now, and Barack Hussein Obama, he was a disaster in a variety of different ways.
00:12:29.000 And we explored yesterday the 17th Amendment and its impact on our country.
00:12:34.000 But Andrew Carnegie was one of the wealthiest men ever to live.
00:12:39.000 He was from Scotland, so I'm obviously very biased towards Andrew Carnegie.
00:12:45.000 He was an unbelievable entrepreneur.
00:12:48.000 He was able to create what is now known as U.S. Steel.
00:12:54.000 J.P. Morgan bought U.S. Steel from, which was at the time Carnegie Steel, it became the U.S. Steel Corporation.
00:13:02.000 It was Pittsburgh Steel, Carnegie Steel, and he sold it to him for $300 million, which is, let's just say, that was a lot of money.
00:13:10.000 It's a lot of money now, and that was an extraordinary amount of money back then.
00:13:14.000 So Andrew Carnegie was different than Lauren Powell Jobs in the sense that he actually made his money.
00:13:22.000 He pulled himself up from absolute poverty growing up in Scotland.
00:13:26.000 But let's say, what was the difference between Andrew Carnegie and Lauren Powell Jobs?
00:13:31.000 Well, despite the fact that Andrew Carnegie earned his success, Andrew Carnegie was a committed defender of Western civilization.
00:13:40.000 Every dollar that Andrew Carnegie gave back to America was about strengthening the American idea, our republic, and he gave very generously in Scotland as well.
00:13:51.000 I mean, you might know the Carnegie Institute for Science or the Carnegie Trust of Universities of Scotland or the maybe how about Carnegie Mellon University?
00:14:00.000 Again, some people call it Carnegie.
00:14:01.000 It's really Carnegie, but that's a different conversation for a different time.
00:14:05.000 Andrew Mellon, another industrialist, he gave so generously, he started what is now known as the University of Pittsburgh.
00:14:13.000 And so you look at America's ruling class in the early 1900s who had wealth beyond the comprehension of the time.
00:14:21.000 This was during the massive Industrial Revolution.
00:14:25.000 And make no mistake, we're living through a similar economic revolution right now of the technological revolution.
00:14:30.000 And I think that it was a lot harder to build a railroad and to create steel than it is to create some sort of application where you trade Bitcoin.
00:14:42.000 And it certainly was harder for Andrew Carnegie and Andrew Mellon to create their billions than Lauren Powell Jobs to inherit it.
00:14:50.000 Andrew Carnegie famously wrote an article, The Gospel of Wealth, where he talked about that people that are rich have a moral obligation to preserve the nation and the home of which they were able to make their money in.
00:15:03.000 And so, what is the check and balance against the current class of oligarchs?
00:15:09.000 You know, I wouldn't be complaining about Lauren Powell Jobs, who is now called the new George Soros, if she didn't spend her money buying the Atlantic.
00:15:17.000 Do you remember The Atlantic? 0.99
00:15:19.000 The Atlantic back in September, they published the fakest of fake stories written by Jeffrey Goldberg that said Trump called the troops and soldiers suckers and losers. 0.97
00:15:28.000 And even John Bolton himself said that that was a lie. 0.79
00:15:32.000 The Atlantic, who just writes some of the most radical anti-American opinion pieces one can find.
00:15:42.000 Not to mention Lauren Powell Jobs founded the Emerson Collective. 1.00
00:15:47.000 So while she's focused on social transformation, she's focused on political domination. 1.00
00:15:54.000 She should just take a pause.
00:15:57.000 And this goes for Bezos and this goes for Zuckerberg and this goes for all of them, Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
00:16:05.000 The ruling class of America's past, they built hospitals, libraries, and schools that taught real science.
00:16:12.000 The ruling class of America today are teaching that two plus two equals five.
00:16:16.000 That's actually what Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is teaching.
00:16:20.000 And what I think we need a robust, people-driven movement is to all of a sudden challenge and call out the ruling class billionaires in our country and say, you made all of your money. 1.00
00:16:30.000 Well, Lauren Powell Jobs made none of her money. 1.00
00:16:32.000 She inherited it.
00:16:33.000 But those of you that did, where is your social responsibility for protecting this beautiful gift we have been given?
00:16:39.000 And if you don't have that social responsibility, then there must be dramatic action taken against you.
00:16:45.000 One of the reasons we're in the place that we are in is the people that have benefited so much from the American promise from our republic are now actively involved in deconstructing it.
00:16:57.000 Now, the answer to that, the why is one that perplexes me, but I think part of it has to do with how the money is actually earned in the technology space.
00:17:05.000 There's plenty of people that are obviously not totally within this judgment that I'm making, but generally in the technology space, the money comes quicker, faster, and I don't want to say necessarily easier, but differently than how wealth was created 40 or 50 years ago.
00:17:25.000 It's a different, it's an ability to make $100 billion in a way that would be incomprehensible 30 or 40 years ago.
00:17:32.000 And so the way that our economic structure as a country worked back in the 1980s is you built companies and you held those companies and you wanted to have that value created over time and you never wanted to engage in any sort of political movements that would possibly endanger your manufacturing plant, your restaurant, your real estate company.
00:17:55.000 And technology, instead, the incentive structure, which is why I actually think our economy is largely built on a house of cards right now, is let's try to inflate the amount of users value as quick as possible and sell, liquidate, and get out.
00:18:07.000 And these basically are data surveillance companies.
00:18:11.000 And because of that, there is this quick rise, quick exit pile of cash problem.
00:18:18.000 And then you also have this sense of guilt and boredom that sets in to America's richest.
00:18:25.000 And I'm talking about people like Laureen Powell Jobs.
00:18:29.000 I'm talking about people that have such incomprehensible amounts of wealth. 0.99
00:18:35.000 We're talking about tens of billions of dollars.
00:18:38.000 And instead of deploying those resources towards something that actually might strengthen the fabric or the culture or the history of the United States, they do the exact opposite.
00:18:49.000 They become social activists.
00:18:51.000 And I really do believe that if you have not labored for decades in the actual practice of building a business in our country outside of the technology space, then what exactly would you want to conserve?
00:19:04.000 You might actually think that you have so self-important.
00:19:10.000 You have all the answers that only if you, Jeff Bezos, were in control, all of America's problems would disappear.
00:19:18.000 And so in Federalist 51, we explored that together this week.
00:19:23.000 The founding fathers asked the, they were articulating that in this new constitution that was being proposed, that there would be a check and balance.
00:19:32.000 What the founders were really saying is that power should not go unchecked.
00:19:37.000 Is that when power is centralized, generally it will get abused.
00:19:41.000 Of course, there's the old phrase that gets quoted very often.
00:19:45.000 People don't even know who said it.
00:19:46.000 Lord Acton said absolute power corrupts absolutely.
00:19:50.000 And that is absolutely true.
00:19:52.000 And so the founding fathers in Federalist 51 talked at length, trying to tell people that one of the reasons that our system is going to be different is that you'll be able to have a check for every point of power, and that will balance it.
00:20:07.000 The one-year Roman Council Cicero talked about this, and actually, many of the ideas of our current system were borrowed from Cicero, this idea of a Republican government, not Republican Party, but a republic.
00:20:19.000 And then the great French judge Montesquieu, we borrowed a lot from him as well.
00:20:25.000 What I think the founding fathers were saying, and this takes a more honest reading of colonial literature, is that they detested power and government was the detested power that could be abused.
00:20:42.000 And the government was the greatest and most immediate form of that power that they could imagine.
00:20:51.000 But let me ask you a question.
00:20:52.000 What about this form of corporate oligarch power?
00:20:56.000 What is the check and balance right now against a ruling class that runs our companies, funds our media institutions, controls the entire narrative, has combined net worth of trillions of dollars?
00:21:12.000 What is our check and balance against them?
00:21:15.000 This is something the conservative movement has really been afraid of talking about because we just kind of go into this default position.
00:21:21.000 Markets are going to solve it.
00:21:24.000 I love markets.
00:21:25.000 I'm a capitalist.
00:21:26.000 I love entrepreneurs.
00:21:28.000 But I'm not necessarily convinced that repeating the same talking point on the bumper sticker is going to solve the threat of our freedoms that we are seeing.
00:21:39.000 That the founding fathers said we are going to design a system of government to prevent your freedoms and liberties from being infringed upon.
00:21:44.000 Well, now we have multi-hundreds of billions of dollars of capital being deployed by the new George Soros, Lauren Powell Jobs, who's a tech heiress. 0.95
00:21:53.000 She didn't create anything in her life. 0.97
00:21:55.000 Of course, she went to University of Pennsylvania and Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, University of Pennsylvania, of course, founded by Benjamin Franklin. 0.96
00:22:01.000 So now Lauren Powell Jobs, who got educated by institution founded by Benjamin Franklin, is now funding millions of dollars to destroy the history of Ben Franklin in our country. 0.99
00:22:10.000 Let me give you an example of the type of thing that she's funding.
00:22:13.000 And again, this is all because of Alex Marlow, editor-in-chief of Breitbart.com, who did the research to show that she is the new George Soros.
00:22:21.000 Something that we have been teasing on this show for quite some time. 0.78
00:22:24.000 So she funds this pile of garbage site called Now This.
00:22:29.000 Well, if you're under the age of 30 and you're watching on YouTube, Rumble, or Facebook, hopefully you're watching on Rumble, R-U-M-B-L-E.com. 0.93
00:22:36.000 It is going to grow.
00:22:37.000 Take my word at that.
00:22:38.000 As a YouTube competitor, you know what Now This is.
00:22:41.000 Now this has been a nonstop propaganda campaign of short, very, let's say, attractive videos that are tailored strictly and solely to catch the attention of younger listeners, younger viewers.
00:22:55.000 And now this came out with this video trying to go against Donald Trump in, let's say, 2016.
00:23:03.000 It's cut 89.
00:23:04.000 So this was Now This saying that Donald Trump's claim that Bill Clinton signed NAFTA is false.
00:23:09.000 And for those of us that are trying to poke ourselves so that we're not living in some sort of Orwellian memory hole, we know that Bill Clinton signed NAFTA. 0.96
00:23:20.000 Let me give you an example of the type of garbage the ruling class is funding. 0.96
00:23:23.000 Play cut 89. 0.99
00:23:25.000 Remember, it was Bill Clinton who signed NAFTA.
00:23:30.000 NAFTA was signed by Bill Clinton.
00:23:32.000 It was Bill Clinton who signed NAFTA.
00:23:36.000 NAFTA, again, signed by Bill Clinton.
00:23:42.000 But here's the clip of Bill Clinton actually signing NAFTA Cut 90.
00:23:48.000 Again, this is the type of media company that the richest people in the country are funding.
00:23:53.000 They're not funding libraries.
00:23:54.000 They're not funding things that actually improve the fabric of our nation.
00:23:58.000 No, they're funding media companies that deceive you and deceive your children.
00:24:02.000 Cut 90.
00:24:05.000 Thank you.
00:24:06.000 Thank you very much.
00:24:07.000 I'd also like to welcome here the representatives from Mexico and Canada and tell them they are, in fact, welcome here.
00:24:14.000 They are our partners in the future that we are trying to make together.
00:24:18.000 After World War I, we turned inward, building walls of protectionism around our nation.
00:24:24.000 The result was a Great Depression and ultimately another horrible world war.
00:24:34.000 You can't see it.
00:24:34.000 It's literally Bill Clinton with a pen signing NAFTA.
00:24:37.000 Now, at a different podcast or a different time, producer Connor, make a note of this.
00:24:41.000 I will dispel the myth that the Smoot Hawley tariff caused the Great Depression.
00:24:46.000 Not today, but I will, because that is one of the greatest myths ever pulled on the American population, and it prevents us from actually having an honest conversation about American-based manufacturing, self-sufficiency, and making things that actually strengthen the fabric and the ethos of America.
00:25:01.000 So according to America's ruling class, that we just have to sit down and obey the fact that vitamin C, Tylenol, Advil, personal protection equipment are all made in mainland China and in Wuhan.
00:25:13.000 I refuse to accept the premise. 1.00
00:25:16.000 But that's just one example of what America's ruling class, Lauren Powell Jobs, is funding. 0.96
00:25:21.000 And if you want to see for yourself, go to the Atlantic.
00:25:23.000 Go to Atlantic.com.
00:25:24.000 I think it's Atlantic.com.
00:25:25.000 You'll see the types of articles.
00:25:28.000 I mean, The Washington Post, funded by Jeff Bezos.
00:25:30.000 So basically, I mean, I would much rather these people be, I would much rather Jeff Bezos go buy 10 more $500 million yachts than go fund the Washington Post or the Atlantic.
00:25:43.000 At least there's some utility in those things, pleasure and leisure.
00:25:46.000 Instead, they are actively involved.
00:25:49.000 Their leisure capital, if you will, is almost to play a chess game with the American experiment.
00:25:57.000 And so this begs a broader question, something conservatives should be talking about more often.
00:26:03.000 We're just afraid to talk about it, which is social responsibility.
00:26:07.000 You see, we have allowed the left to be the only people that talk about social responsibility.
00:26:13.000 They talk about it with the environment.
00:26:15.000 They talk about it with racial politics.
00:26:16.000 They talk about it with women's issues.
00:26:20.000 What about a social responsibility to your nation?
00:26:23.000 What's about a social responsibility to not always be engaging and indulging in this historicist lie that everything must be constantly changing and the ultimate thing we must be focused on is progress for progress sake.
00:26:36.000 What about preservation?
00:26:38.000 You know, this is actually kind of what I chuckle because the Bernie Sanders people, I think a lot of them can become conservatives very soon, not on social issues.
00:26:48.000 But when they talk about, hey, we need to conserve this national park.
00:26:54.000 I laugh.
00:26:55.000 I say, wait a second.
00:26:55.000 So you're not always into changing things all the time.
00:26:58.000 So you actually want certain things to remain the way they are?
00:27:02.000 Like, why wouldn't you want the American family to remain the way they are?
00:27:05.000 Why wouldn't you want American manufacturing?
00:27:07.000 So let me get this straight, that you want to change everything except nature.
00:27:12.000 I can kind of sympathize with not changing nature.
00:27:14.000 I love nature, obviously.
00:27:17.000 But I actually think there's some philosophical agreement here that maybe the idol of perpetual progress is actually a place of unfulfilling, soulless alienation.
00:27:30.000 Maybe human beings are not hardwired with uprooting everything around us all the time and constantly in a state of disruption.
00:27:37.000 Maybe we will be a more joyful and satisfied nation if we care about things that matter and that are eternal.
00:27:48.000 And that's why I actually think some people on the left are deep down, they're much more conservative than they actually realize.
00:27:53.000 Not the leaders, but the people that are following in their ranks.
00:27:56.000 And so as we talk about this issue of social responsibility, I guess it begs a question.
00:28:00.000 Conservatives need to be more vocal on this.
00:28:02.000 And I'll be very honest.
00:28:04.000 I don't know the piece of legislation that needs to be introduced.
00:28:08.000 But as long as we have rich people like Lauren Powell Jobs and Jeff Bezos, I no longer believe that conservatives should make overtures to cut their taxes and pander to their needs, wants, and desires.
00:28:20.000 They should be treated as what they are, which is opponents of our beautiful republic.
00:28:29.000 Look, now more than ever, it's important to support companies that are brave enough to stand up for the values we need to be fighting for.
00:28:34.000 It takes a lot of guts in the midst of cancel culture to risk your business.
00:28:38.000 One company keeps coming forward with meaningful messaging in support of core American values, and that's EggGuard.
00:28:45.000 It's Eggard Watches.
00:28:47.000 You need to go check out their story.
00:28:49.000 They made a powerful video humanizing police during the defund movement.
00:28:54.000 Oh, and by the way, they design unbelievably beautiful and affordable watches from Switzerland.
00:28:59.000 They're gorgeous.
00:29:00.000 I love Switzerland.
00:29:01.000 It's one of the companies I'm so happy to promote in our program.
00:29:04.000 If you aren't currently looking for a watch or accessories, then still go to their site and watch the short conservative films.
00:29:11.000 The CEO, Elon, was awarded the Fox Patriot Courage Award specifically to celebrate his very public effort to show support for American police officers.
00:29:22.000 Elon gave us a great discount of 15% off to share with you by using the code Kirk at checkout.
00:29:30.000 So that's eggguardwatches.com.
00:29:33.000 Check them out and remember to apply the promo code to your order right there.
00:29:37.000 EggardWatches, check them out.
00:29:39.000 They love their country.
00:29:40.000 Do it now.
00:29:44.000 So what is a cartel?
00:29:46.000 A cartel is a coalition of cooperative agreement between political parties intended to promote a mutual interest.
00:29:54.000 We call the drug traffickers a cartel often.
00:29:57.000 And I can tell you that the people that are educating your children, the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association, they are a cartel.
00:30:06.000 And so as I have been going on about Lauren Powell Jobs, the new George Soros, the tech heiress who has never worked a day in her life and instead inherited all this money from her now deceased husband's good idea to have us all addicted to smooth screens so we can a dopamine rush and have a digital pacifier in our right-hand pocket.
00:30:24.000 Somehow we should give her unrestricted access to remake our country, which is so fundamentally anti-American.
00:30:30.000 Also, the people that are running our country alongside Lauren Powell Jobs and Jeff Bezos are the people running our public sector teacher unions.
00:30:37.000 So people say, Charlie, what do we do at this moment? 1.00
00:30:40.000 Well, I can tell you this Cut 76 is one of my favorite, most delicious pieces of clip I have ever seen, which is a woman that I consider to be one of the most self-righteous, twisted, morally questionable people ever to get into a position of a leadership. 1.00
00:30:57.000 And she runs the American Federation of Teachers. 1.00
00:31:00.000 And she professionally gets paid to keep your children miseducated, uneducated, schools closed, kids wearing masks, good teachers not making more money, bad teachers getting subsidized. 1.00
00:31:12.000 The teacher unions are a cartel. 1.00
00:31:14.000 And it's only going to change when they get, dare I say, chewed out live on air.
00:31:19.000 So Randy Weitgarten goes on C-SPAN.
00:31:22.000 God bless C-SPAN.
00:31:23.000 I'm actually a C-SPAN fan.
00:31:24.000 I actually think they're pretty, they really do a good job of being fair, I have to say.
00:31:28.000 They just show it how it is.
00:31:29.000 So, they have this thing where you could have an open line.
00:31:31.000 So, people started calling in and they just said, You know what, Randy Whitegarten, I'm not going to take this oligarchy that you are punishing our children with.
00:31:39.000 Cut 76.
00:31:40.000 Ms. Weingarten, I'd like to ask you why you think a pandemic is a reason to reimagine our education.
00:31:49.000 And basics would be nice.
00:31:51.000 The public schools have failed these children before on an education basis, let alone all this social re-education.
00:32:00.000 The part that I don't understand is how come the parochial schools and the private schools could navigate their way through this scenario, but the public schools didn't seem to be able to manage that.
00:32:15.000 And that's just a little taste of Randy Whitegarten getting really direct questions from parents across the country.
00:32:22.000 And this is how it's going to change.
00:32:24.000 And this is why they're executing their top-down revolution, or as we call it, the slow-motion revolution of people that have the mega-yachts, the jets, the billions of dollars.
00:32:36.000 They are preemptively striking normal middle-class people because they're afraid that we are going to rise up and we are going to say, you are not going to dominate our society any longer.
00:32:46.000 So, there is a new conservative movement forming in real time, and I'm very pleased to see it.
00:32:52.000 It's going to take people rising up.
00:32:54.000 The new conservative movement is going to be one that is going to be one that's unafraid to say that it's not a healthy, sustainable thing for our country to have people like Lauren Powell Jones and George Soros and the Rockefeller Foundation and the Ford Foundation have this much influence and power and not acting in the benefit of the needs, wants, or concerns of the rest of the country.
00:33:20.000 And I am proud to say that this new conservative movement, being articulated wonderfully by people like Tucker Carlson and others, has the support of the American people.
00:33:35.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
