00:00:26.000 Hey everybody, what is the Postal Service doing with a sophisticated, well-funded operation spying on your social media posts?

00:00:36.000 Reminds me of 1984, but we explore Orwell's 1984 in a different way.

00:00:42.000 And we talk about one thing that if you do not have it, you can't be free.

00:00:47.000 And it's a word you probably haven't thought of recently, but it's critically important.

00:00:51.000 This is an interesting episode.

00:00:54.000 I really enjoyed preparing for it.

00:00:56.000 And I did a lot of deep thinking on it.

00:00:57.000 So please listen all the way through.

00:00:59.000 I'd love your thoughts.

00:01:21.000 We are the largest conservative student organization in the country at tpusa.com fighting for our values on high school and college campuses.

00:01:30.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:01:31.000 Here we go.

00:01:32.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:01:34.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:01:36.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:39.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:43.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:44.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:45.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:01:53.000 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.

00:02:02.000 That's why we are here.

00:02:04.000 Have you guys had any issues getting your mail recently?

00:02:09.000 Have you guys maybe had some letters lost or some delayed packages?

00:02:16.000 Well, Turning Point USA, two weeks ago, we got a letter, a whole package of letters from November.

00:02:23.000 It's true.

00:02:25.000 Postmarked in mid-November, couple donations to Turning Point USA.

00:02:31.000 The Post Office, the Postal Service, hey, we're running behind.

00:02:33.000 Give us a little bit of a break here.

00:02:35.000 The Postal Service says that they're overwhelmed.

00:02:41.000 Well, it seems that the Postal Service is doing some other things.

00:02:46.000 This is one of the most important news stories that should be on the cover of the New York Times.

00:02:52.000 I don't even think it's in the New York Times.

00:02:54.000 And it's not in the Wall Street Journal, but it's on yahoo.com.

00:02:58.000 I do give Yahoo credit for publishing this.

00:03:00.000 I'm not exactly one to compliment them, but it seems that they actually did this story themselves.

00:03:06.000 They broke it within their own news division.

00:03:09.000 The Postal Service is running a covert operations program that monitors American social media posts.

00:03:16.000 That's right.

00:03:17.000 The Post Office.

00:03:20.000 The Postal Service.

00:03:22.000 They have been quietly running a program that tracks and collects American social media posts, including those about planned protests according to a document obtained by Yahoo News.

00:03:32.000 The details of the surveillance effort known as ICOP, Internet Covert Operations Program, has not been previously made public.

00:03:42.000 The work involves having analysts trawl through social media sites to look for what the document describes as inflammatory postings and then sharing that information across government agencies.

00:03:56.000 So, the post office can't deliver the mail, but they can spy on our own citizens.

00:04:04.000 So, this goes to a deeper point, and this is what makes our program a little bit different: we're going to explain why this is happening and why this is important.

00:04:15.000 I think you all know, you hear they say, oh, that shouldn't be happening.

00:04:17.000 Of course, it shouldn't be happening.

00:04:20.000 But there's two books that I think are so critically important for every American, every conservative.

00:04:27.000 You don't even have to be conservative.

00:04:29.000 If you just want a decent way of life, you must deeply understand these two books that are now becoming prophetic.

00:04:37.000 The first is George Orwell's 1984.

00:04:40.000 You hear it mentioned a lot, but I'm going to walk through parts of 1984 that I think even if you read 1984 in high school, you've missed.

00:04:50.000 And the other is Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, which is not talked about as much.

00:04:56.000 It's a dystopian novel where the famous most famous line of Brave New World is: everyone belongs to everybody.

00:05:06.000 I want you to think about that.

00:05:09.000 Brave New World was a dystopian novel focused on how a society will eventually prioritize pleasure above truth.

00:05:20.000 1984 was a novel that warned against mass surveillance.

00:05:31.000 The term big brother, ministry of truth, we get all of that from George Orwell's 1984.

00:05:39.000 So, why is it that the government, the post office, is engaged in the surveillance business?

00:05:47.000 Why?

00:05:49.000 It's because the state must know what their citizens are doing at all times.

00:05:56.000 You cannot have tyranny without mass information.

00:06:00.000 Tyranny comes from a Greek word, tyrannos, which means master, in charge, dominant, rulemaker.

00:06:11.000 I want you to think about this at a very micro level.

00:06:15.000 Could a parent be in charge of a household if they did not know what their children are doing?

00:06:21.000 Of course not.

00:06:22.000 A parent could not be an effective parent if they did not know where their children were, what the children were watching, what their children were thinking, even.

00:06:32.000 It's a parent's job to participate in a micro level of a surveillance state within a home.

00:06:39.000 And that's a good thing.

00:06:40.000 It's a healthy thing.

00:06:42.000 Now, that obviously has limitations because that parent is not in charge of surveilling their neighbor or their family member across town.

00:06:51.000 When you take responsibility for raising children, knowing what happens within your home is critical.

00:07:01.000 However, the people in charge of our society view themselves as replacing parents, breaking the bond between the parent and the child, and the government becomes the worshipped family figure.

00:07:18.000 Orwell warned against this.

00:07:20.000 One of the most telling quotes in all of 1984 is that parents are afraid of their children.

00:07:29.000 When you think about that, parents being afraid of their children and parents no longer being responsible for communicating their values and replicating their values to the next generation.

00:07:42.000 George Orwell is commonly taught as fiction.

00:07:46.000 Instead, the post office is taking it as an instruction manual.

00:07:52.000 1984 is a how-to guide for, again, the post office.

00:07:58.000 This is not the FBI.

00:08:00.000 This is not the Department of Homeland Security.

00:08:02.000 This is the post office who's now taken George Orwell's 1984 of a mass surveillance state and they are implementing it.

00:08:12.000 They are looking at everything you are posting on social media if you're a conservative.

00:08:16.000 They're cataloging it.

00:08:17.000 They're making lists.

00:08:21.000 So we hear a lot about this idea of making lists.

00:08:24.000 Why is that important?

00:08:27.000 You see, I don't think the mentioning of lists is properly explained to you.

00:08:36.000 For example, we talk about, well, they're never going to register my guns.

00:08:41.000 Why is that important?

00:08:42.000 The registration of firearms.

00:08:44.000 Here's why.

00:08:46.000 You must make lists and compile information only if there is a looming action planned after it.

00:08:55.000 You only make lists when you're planning to do something with that information.

00:09:01.000 You only have lists of people who are boarding your airplane if you are planning to potentially know who's on your airplane and remove them from the airplane and catalog them or have a no-fly list.

00:09:13.000 You only make a list when you go to the grocery store if you want to actually act on that list.

00:09:19.000 Human beings only make lists as action items, not as exploratory exercises because they're just curious.

00:09:29.000 The state is not curious.

00:09:32.000 The Postal Service is not curious.

00:09:35.000 No, no, no, no.

00:09:37.000 They are trying to fill their information gap.

00:09:40.000 The only thing that is preventing their tyranny, their mastering their dominance, is information.

00:09:47.000 It's data.

00:09:48.000 They need it.

00:09:50.000 So I guess they found a sweet spot.

00:09:52.000 I guess what's really happening here, which I think most people are missing, is that they thought if they could build a surveillance state within the post office, no one would ever find it.

00:10:06.000 You see, the FBI director is called in front of Congress all the time.

00:10:09.000 Same with NSA and DHS.

00:10:11.000 They get asked these questions about mass surveillance all the time.

00:10:14.000 No one would have thought, hey, let's go subpoena or demand the postmaster general and ask, what is this, Louis DeJoy?

00:10:25.000 Is that his name?

00:10:27.000 Hey, Postmaster General, what are you doing to spy on?

00:10:30.000 No one would have thought of that.

00:10:32.000 They hid it.

00:10:34.000 They hid a surveillance state within an apparatus that would seem to be the least likely.

00:10:41.000 In fact, I'm expecting very soon to have a press release that pastors' sermons are being spied on by the Army Corps of Engineers.

00:10:56.000 Just something completely out of left field.

00:10:59.000 Like, I thought they're in charge of building bridges.

00:11:01.000 No, actually, they're in charge of spying on pastors.

00:11:03.000 What?

00:11:04.000 It's the post office that has, and we're going to go into the details of this, hundreds of people who are paid by you to spy on you.

00:11:14.000 Big Brother is watching, and they're not delivering your mail.

00:11:20.000 Did you know that 80% of the grass-fed beef sold in the United States is imported from overseas?

00:11:24.000 It's staggering.

00:11:25.000 That's why I get my meat from goodranchers.com because their product is 100% American.

00:12:37.000 I wonder how many subscribers of the Charlie Kirk Show podcast we have in the post office.

00:12:42.000 I think it actually might be a hit.

00:12:44.000 Can you get my mail, please?

00:12:46.000 That would be helpful.

00:12:48.000 I got a lot of envelopes that we're missing.

00:12:51.000 But if you guys are paid to spy on us, the least you could do is subscribe to our podcast.

00:12:57.000 The least you could do.

00:12:57.000 I literally pay your salary.

00:13:00.000 Taxpayer-funded operation.

00:13:03.000 At least I could get something out of the deal.

00:13:05.000 I'd love to see the file they have on me at the post office.

00:13:09.000 I'd be very intrigued by that.

00:13:12.000 They hit it intentionally.

00:13:13.000 No one would have thought that a mass surveillance program was going to be happening under the people that can't even deliver your mail.

00:13:20.000 Of course.

00:13:22.000 And whomever discovered this at Yahoo, Jaina Winter, she deserves credit. 0.86

00:13:28.000 Anyone who exposes the rising threat of abuse of our government, it's not even a threat.

00:13:38.000 It's already here.

00:13:39.000 What am I talking about?

00:13:40.000 It's not a threat.

00:13:40.000 It's a reality.

00:13:41.000 Let me rephrase that.

00:13:42.000 The reality of the abuse of government.

00:13:45.000 I have kind words for you.

00:13:46.000 So thank you, Yahoo, for coming out with this.

00:13:48.000 Again, I'm not one to compliment Yahoo.

00:13:50.000 So there are 200 federal laws that the U.S. Postal Service says that they enforce.

00:14:00.000 I can't imagine what those laws are.

00:14:02.000 I just think back to the great Cicero: the more laws, the less justice.

00:14:07.000 You see, when you have these laws, then you need to go create these bureaucrats to go enforce these laws.

00:14:13.000 I'm not a big rule guy.

00:14:16.000 I prefer a short, tight, well-understood, public list of rules that are enforced fairly.

00:14:27.000 That's what justice is.

00:14:28.000 Madison warned against this.

00:14:30.000 James Madison, the father of our Constitution and the fourth American president, argued that if the laws become so voluminous, then they will lose impact.

00:14:42.000 I'm paraphrasing, but the word voluminous was in there.

00:14:44.000 So there are hundreds and potentially thousands of people that work for the post office that are spying on this program and spying on Americans all across the country.

00:14:58.000 What if I told you that if you do not have solitude, you cannot have freedom?

00:15:06.000 That a necessary prerequisite to liberty is your ability to be alone.

00:15:13.000 I want you to think about that.

00:15:14.000 Your ability to wrestle with your own thoughts, to pray, to know that you're not being watched, to know that what you are doing in that moment is not going to be held against you.

00:15:28.000 One of the most horrifying statements I hear from young people, and they generally on TikTok, you know what they say, I got nothing to hide.

00:15:36.000 I don't care if they look at me all the time.

00:15:41.000 Orwell writes.

00:15:44.000 It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen.

00:15:50.000 The smallest thing could give you away a nervous tick, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself.

00:15:57.000 Anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide.

00:16:03.000 In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face, to look incredulous when a victory is announced, for example, was itself a punishable offense.

00:16:15.000 One wrong look, one wrong statement, you're a thought criminal.

00:16:22.000 You know that Orwell actually came up with the term thought crime.

00:16:25.000 There are so many words we use in our discourse that Orwell came up with.

00:16:30.000 And by the way, Orwell was a socialist, but he wasn't a rich-hating socialist.

00:16:35.000 Orwell famously said that socialism is much more about hating the rich than helping the poor.

00:16:41.000 He got to start actually covering coal miners in northern England.

00:16:48.000 If you have people that are paid by our tax dollars to create lists, an understandable question of what comes next is: what are they going to do with those lists?

00:17:01.000 In 1984, the main character, Winston, noticed and observed that the condition of life in that dystopian reality was terrible.

00:17:12.000 The streets were dirty.

00:17:14.000 Things were not getting done because the state was too worried about spying on their citizens and erasing history.

00:17:20.000 And isn't that what's happening with the post office?

00:17:22.000 They can't even deliver the mail because they're too busy spying on you.

00:17:28.000 Did you know that over 80% of the population is deficient in magnesium, and magnesium is a number one mineral to fight stress, fatigue, and sleep issues?

00:17:34.000 My work schedule has been rather hectic lately, and I'm noticing it's starting to wear me down, even when I'm getting all my workouts in.

00:17:40.000 And in fact, I still feel like I'm stressed.

00:17:42.000 That's why I'm excited to share with you more about a magnesium product I discovered.

00:17:47.000 Magnesium powers over 600 critical reactors in our bodies, but don't just grab any magnesium pill.

00:17:52.000 The one I recommend is magnesium breakthrough because it combines all seven essential forms of magnesium into one convenient supplement.

00:17:59.000 Most magnesium supplements fail because they are synthetic and they're not full spectrum.

00:18:03.000 When you get all seven critical forms of magnesium, pretty much every function in your body gets upgraded.

00:18:07.000 With one more simple action, you reverse your magnesium deficiency, fight fatigue, feel more at ease, feel less anxious.

00:18:13.000 This is by far the most complete magnesium product ever created, and I highly recommend it.

00:18:40.000 The Post Office yesterday was revealed to have a very in-depth, well-funded organization of their arm called the Internet Covert Operations Program, where their mission is to surveil and catalog Facebook posts of Americans that might be deemed inflammatory.

00:19:07.000 Rachel Levinson Waldman, a director, deputy director of the Brennan Center for Justice and Liberty, again, I'm not a fan of this organization, but she said something actually very true.

00:19:17.000 She said, this seems a little bizarre.

00:19:19.000 Do you think?

00:19:20.000 Based on the very minimal information that's available online, it appears that ICOP is meant to root out the misuse of the postal system by online actors, which doesn't seem to encompass what's going on here.

00:19:32.000 It's not at all clear why their mandate would include monitoring of social media that's unrelated to the use of the postal system.

00:19:38.000 I'm going to answer your confusion, Rachel.

00:19:41.000 It's very obvious.

00:19:44.000 Next, there's a statement here from a professor at the University of Chicago.

00:19:51.000 He says, I just don't think the Postal Service has the degree, the degree of sophistication that you would want if you were dealing with national security issues.

00:20:00.000 This part is puzzling.

00:20:02.000 There are so many other agencies that could do this.

00:20:04.000 I don't understand why the Post Office would be doing it.

00:20:06.000 There's no need for the Post Office to do it.

00:20:08.000 You've got the FBI Homeland Security.

00:20:09.000 Okay, so this guy makes the worst argument.

00:20:12.000 Let's just say, call him Professor Stone, University of Chicago.

00:20:16.000 So he's not saying what they're doing is bad.

00:20:18.000 He's just saying, hey, the spying should be done by different agencies.

00:20:23.000 You understand what's happening here?

00:20:24.000 This guy's being like, you got an organizational chart problem, okay?

00:20:28.000 You guys need corporate reorganization.

00:20:30.000 It's not that I have a problem with Americans being spied on.

00:20:34.000 It's just that that's not the Postal Service's mission statement.

00:20:37.000 Now, while I agree, it's probably mission creep for the Post Office to be spying on Americans.

00:20:43.000 The outrage of this piece should be: why are Americans being spied on at all?

00:20:48.000 Why is there a taxpayer-funded scheme to collect our social media posts and create lists against us?

00:20:56.000 We know the answer to that.

00:20:58.000 Of course, we do.

00:21:00.000 And so, for Rachel Levinson-Waldman, Deputy Director of the Brandon Center of Justice, who's confused, let me offer some clarity.

00:21:08.000 When you have a seemingly limitless budget of the federal government and not that much radicalism in the country, then there is an incentive structure to go find radicalism where it doesn't exist and go spy on normal Americans and misrepresent what they're saying to paint them as radicals.

00:21:26.000 That's what's happening here.

00:21:29.000 We are subsidizing the persistent and perpetual investigation of our fellow countrymen.

00:21:38.000 Every single tyrannical government that has ever existed always has surveillance as a primary attribute of their despotism.

00:21:54.000 From the terror in France in 1793, it's actually where we get the word surveillance from.

00:22:00.000 There were surveillance committees formed in every French municipality in March of 1793 by order of the Jacobin Convention to monitor the actions and movements of suspected persons, outsiders, and dissidents.

00:22:13.000 Mao had his Red Guard.

00:22:15.000 The Nationalist Socialist Workers' Party had the SS.

00:22:18.000 We all know about the Gestapo.

00:22:21.000 So here's what's happening here.

00:22:24.000 As tyranny increases, their goal is the abolition of all forms of solitude, which would therefore make them the closest of an earthly form of their own interpretation of a deity that we could get to.

00:22:44.000 One of my favorite words in the English language, just because I like saying it, it just kind of rolls off the tongue.

00:22:50.000 Ubiquitous.

00:22:51.000 It's a fun word to say, isn't it?

00:22:53.000 Ubiquitous.

00:22:54.000 It means everywhere.

00:22:56.000 All-present.

00:22:59.000 That's an attribute of a creator, by the way.

00:23:02.000 It's one of the words that we as Christians use to describe God, omnipresent, omniscient.

00:23:14.000 What do those two words mean?

00:23:16.000 Everywhere and all-knowing.

00:23:21.000 The people in charge have always wanted to make themselves into an earthly form of a deity.

00:23:31.000 But here's the thing that most people miss when it comes to Orwell.

00:23:35.000 And they're missing this when it comes to this Postal Service Red guard, which is almost none of this would be possible without technology.

00:23:48.000 Technology, made possible thanks to a group of anti-American entrepreneurs in Menlo Park, are helping create the new surveillance state.

00:24:01.000 And Orwell warned against this.

00:24:05.000 I quote, Orwell writes in 1984.

00:24:09.000 By comparison with that existing today, all the tyrannies of the past were half-hearted and inefficient.

00:24:17.000 Part of the reason for this was that in the past, no government had the power to keep its citizens under constant surveillance.

00:24:26.000 The invention of prints, however, made it easier to manipulate public opinion.

00:24:32.000 And the film and the radio carried the process further.

00:24:35.000 This was written in 1949.

00:24:38.000 Imagine what Orwell would think where you have an Alexa in your living room.

00:24:43.000 You have a smartphone that you carry around with you all the time.

00:24:45.000 You are inviting the surveillance state to say, monitor me, organize me.

00:24:52.000 In China, we already see they're doing social scores.

00:24:55.000 That if you step out of line against the state, you'll be punished.

00:25:01.000 The number one form of censorship is self-censorship, where people shut themselves up.

00:25:08.000 They are scared of violating a thought crime.

00:25:13.000 They don't want to think something that might be in violation to the party, which is exactly the term that's used in Orwell's 1984.

00:25:27.000 Now, the post office, amongst many other government agencies, are not actually interested in the welfare of our nation.

00:25:33.000 No, they want information.

00:25:34.000 They want data.

00:25:36.000 Those people that worship data, and some Republicans do, by the way, they seek to know everything about you before you even know it.

00:25:47.000 You might say, Charlie, how do they know something that I don't even know?

00:25:52.000 They know what you're going to buy before you know it.

00:25:54.000 They even know with a likelihood of a 99% correlation of where you're going to go on vacation before you even go.

00:26:02.000 They even know how you're going to act in certain circumstances because they profile all of your decisions, decisions that you don't even remember.

00:26:11.000 What if I told you that there's a machine that remembers every Google search you've made over the last five years?

00:26:15.000 Do you remember every Google search?

00:26:17.000 Of course you don't.

00:26:20.000 And what if I told you that that algorithm has trillions of data inputs and then they can see the action after it so they're able to have an input and a correlated output, therefore they know what you're going to do before you do it.

00:26:34.000 Now, it's temporarily being used for commercial purposes, but we know that it's also being used for political purposes.

00:26:44.000 There's been more energy spent in the history of humanity doing one thing than anything else.

00:26:51.000 You know what that is?

00:26:52.000 There is one activity that has consumed more time, energy, and resources than any other activity in the history of the world.

00:27:03.000 It's not sports.

00:27:05.000 It's not business.

00:27:07.000 It's not even seeking pleasure.

00:27:10.000 No.

00:27:12.000 The activity that has consumed more human energy than any other is dominating other human beings.

00:27:22.000 It is the most encompassing exercise since human beings grace this planet.

00:27:28.000 More people have spent time trying to dominate other human beings than any other endeavor in the history of the world.

00:27:34.000 More than music, more than art, more than sports, more than truth, more than speaking, more than raising children.

00:27:41.000 The endeavor that seems to replicate itself in many different forms, whether it be Alexander the Great in conquests, or Napoleon over Europe, or Sun Tzu in China, or the Aztecs over their own people, or the Mayans over their own people, or the Native American tribes that fought amongst themselves, is: I want to dominate you.

00:28:05.000 It's built into who we are as human beings.

00:28:07.000 It's in our DNA.

00:28:09.000 The left won't give you that.

00:28:10.000 They say, no, no, no, it's about the construct.

00:28:12.000 And why is it that absent any sort of European influences that are always the enemy, that Native Americans, some of them were known as scalpers. 0.93

00:28:24.000 They were terrible to each other.

00:28:26.000 They didn't have private property.

00:28:27.000 They thought the land belonged to everyone.

00:28:30.000 But make no mistake, the Navajo fought the Cherokee, and the Sioux fought the Navajo, and the Iroquois fought the Sioux.

00:28:40.000 Well, before European influences ever graced the continent of North America. 0.69

00:28:44.000 The human norm is trying to dominate one person.

00:28:49.000 So the Postal Service says, eh, we're tempted.

00:28:55.000 Mail delivery, that's boring.

00:28:58.000 Dominating human beings? 0.97

00:29:00.000 It's exciting. 1.00

00:29:02.000 Knowing information about people?

00:29:05.000 I get a little bit of a power trip from that.

00:29:07.000 I get an adrenaline boost.

00:29:08.000 I get a dopamine rush because I might actually be closer to the heavens if I know more about you than you even know about yourself.

00:29:19.000 Why are people shutting themselves up?

00:29:23.000 Why is self-censorship on the rise the number one form of censorship in America?

00:29:28.000 Orwell said it best.

00:29:30.000 For the first time, he perceived that if you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself.

00:29:40.000 If you want to keep a true secret, don't even tell yourself.

00:29:45.000 Because the Postal Service will find out.

00:29:47.000 The tech companies will find out.

00:29:49.000 As solitude is destroyed, your liberty is destroyed alongside of it.

00:29:56.000 So have you ever browsed in incognito mode?

00:29:58.000 It's probably not as incognito as you think.

00:30:01.000 And why would it be?

00:30:01.000 Incognito mode, like the Chrome browser itself is a Google product, and Google has made its fortune by tracking your movements online.

00:30:07.000 There's even a $5 billion class action lawsuit against the company in California, where it's accused of secretly collecting user data.

00:30:13.000 Google's defense, incognito does not mean invisible.

00:30:16.000 So how do you actually make yourself as invisible as possible online, ExpressVPN?

00:30:20.000 Turns out that even in incognito mode, your online activity still gets tracked.

00:30:25.000 And data brokers still get to buy and sell your data.

00:30:28.000 One of these data points is in your IP address.

00:30:30.000 Data harvesters use your IP to uniquely identify you and your location, but with ExpressVPN, your connection gets rerouted through an encrypted server and your IP address is masked.

00:30:39.000 Every time you connect to ExpressVPN, you get a random IP address shared by other ExpressVPN customers that makes it harder for third parties to identify you or harvest your data.

00:30:47.000 Best of all, ExpressVPN is super easy to use no matter what device you're on, phone, laptop, or smart TV.

00:30:52.000 All you have to do is tap one button for instant protection.

00:30:54.000 So if you really want to go incognito and protect your privacy, secure yourself with the number one rated VPN.

00:30:59.000 Visit expressvpn.com/slash Charlie.

00:31:01.000 That's exp-r-e-s-s-v-p-n.com slash charlie, expressvpn.com/slash Charlie.

00:31:08.000 Humor can break the back of a totalitarian state overnight.

00:31:14.000 This is why Stalin and Mao they criminalized the comedians because they were truth tellers and that's why they killed Cicero.

00:31:21.000 He was a humorist because he was a truth teller and he was hilarious.

00:31:26.000 Jerry Seinfeld is very funny, and he was a prophet when it came to the post office.

00:31:33.000 And Larry David, play tape.

00:31:37.000 May I help you?

00:31:38.000 Yeah, I'd like to cancel my mail.

00:31:39.000 Certainly.

00:31:40.000 How long would you like us to hold it?

00:31:41.000 I want out permanently.

00:31:44.000 I'll handle this, Violet.

00:31:46.000 Why don't you take your three-hour break?

00:31:49.000 Calm down, everyone.

00:31:50.000 No one's canceling any mail.

00:31:53.000 Oh, yes, I am.

00:31:54.000 But what about your bills?

00:31:55.000 The bank can pay them.

00:31:56.000 The bank.

00:31:57.000 And then, well, what about your cards and letters?

00:31:59.000 Email, telephones, fax machines, FedEx, helix, telegrams, holograms.

00:32:05.000 All right, that's true.

00:32:06.000 Of course, nobody needs mail.

00:32:09.000 You think you're so clever figuring that one out?

00:32:11.000 But you don't know the half of what goes on here.

00:32:14.000 So just walk away, Kramer.

00:32:17.000 I beg of you.

00:32:20.000 You don't know the half of what goes on here, so just walk away.

00:32:23.000 Of course, that's Newman.

00:32:25.000 I am sad that a generation is not being properly exposed to Seinfeld.

00:32:31.000 And I'm telling you right now, it's just a matter of time till the thought police and the Ministry of Truth remove Seinfeld altogether from Babu Bot to Uncle Leo to a certain type of soup vendor to a Puerto Rican day parade to not that there's anything wrong about it to the black and white cookie.

00:32:57.000 Seinfeld was tackling the issues of race, culture, language, immigration with levity and truth long before Patrice Conculler started to amass a massive real estate empire.

00:33:09.000 They will come after Seinfeld because one evening, Ibrahim X. Kendi will be suffering from insomnia and he'll turn on TBS and he'll see a Seinfeld episode.

00:33:23.000 And he'll see the black and white cookie episode of Jerry Seinfeld and he'll say, ah, racist.

00:33:30.000 I found my new enemy.

00:33:32.000 And like that, Seinfeld will disappear into the annals of history and history will be rewritten.

00:33:38.000 Seinfeld will no longer be a comedy.

00:33:41.000 No, no, it'll be a tragedy.

00:33:44.000 Instead, Seinfeld will become a hologram and a relic of our memory.

00:33:52.000 You see, it's actually an attribute of 1984.

00:33:54.000 One of the full-time jobs of the people in 1984 was to rewrite the past.

00:33:59.000 It's what the main character Winston was actually tasked to do.

00:34:04.000 You see, in Orwell's world, there were a couple thinkers that were not allowed to be discussed.

00:34:20.000 They edited them, they removed them, and one of them was Shakespeare, who, in his proper context, was hilarious.

00:34:28.000 He was a humorist because he told the truth.

00:34:33.000 In addition, Shaucer and Milton.

00:34:36.000 As Orwell said, the past is changeable.

00:34:40.000 Things are as we want them to be.

00:34:44.000 It's all about who gets to rewrite the history.

00:34:48.000 So as the Postal Service is pecking away on their laptops today after they take their three-hour break, watching assuredly this program and your social media feed, you should ask yourselves the question: where is this going?

00:35:02.000 Why create the list?

00:35:05.000 And why would the people in charge disguise and camouflage a massive surveillance operation underneath a mail delivery service?

00:35:16.000 Well, the answer is, of course, they didn't want to get caught.

00:35:19.000 The Postmaster General is the least likely commandant in the surveillance wars.

00:35:28.000 You should ask yourself the question, why did we have a Fourth Amendment?

00:35:33.000 How many of you have said to yourselves, I need some alone time?

00:35:37.000 I've said it before.

00:35:39.000 Too many people, I need an hour by myself.

00:35:43.000 It's a natural human desire. to want some time with yourself.

00:35:51.000 Jesus needed solitude.

00:35:54.000 Aristotle talked about the need of solitude.

00:35:56.000 So did Plato.

00:35:58.000 In a world where solitude is impossible, you can't be free.

00:36:04.000 You can only be controlled.

00:36:07.000 Because if you say one word or think one thing wrong, you'll forever be a slave to the state.

00:36:15.000 Brought to you by a mail delivery program, the Post Service.

00:36:20.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

00:36:21.000 Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
