00:00:34.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:41.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:24.000James, tell us about the film and lots to talk about when it comes to the Second Amendment and the campaign to try to take our firearms away.
00:03:17.000Anytime there's a mass shooting, there's plenty of ammunition out there to reach out and say we need to get the guns out of people's hands.
00:03:28.000So the big thing is just getting involved.
00:03:31.000Like I said, there's over 100 million of us, and most of us go about our daily lives just being responsible adults.
00:03:41.000And it's time that we do write letters, reach out to our local government, to our state senators, our congressmen, and make our voice heard.
00:03:52.000I would say the one big thing is just not getting involved and thinking that it's going to be okay, but it won't be if we don't get involved.
00:07:12.000I was shotting because I loved everybody else who was in that church.
00:07:16.000To get an anti-gun person to appreciate the Second Amendment, I get these people who come to me after they've had a home invasion or whatever and say, okay, I realize I need a gun.
00:07:24.000That's obviously the worst way to find out.
00:07:27.000I am a gun guy, and it didn't used to be that way.
00:08:42.000It's called Firearms and Freedoms, Ammunition for Debate.
00:08:48.000So, this series will give you the facts, the stories, the information you'll need to win the debate on the Second Amendment and on any firearm restriction.
00:08:59.000It is firearms and freedoms with an S. Correct.
00:09:19.000The Second Amendment is there to protect our other rights given to us by God, not by man, against the potential threat of a tyrannical government.
00:09:27.000I tell the story frequently of a friend I have in Chicago who was like, I don't want guns.
00:10:32.000If you're dealing with another side, not in good faith, there's no deal to be had.
00:10:39.000Look, it is time to consider a rollover of that 401k into an IRA.
00:10:44.000The investment world is completely different in 2023, and you cannot do the same thing as last year.
00:10:50.000Woke companies are aggressively implementing ESG.
00:10:54.000Interest rates are going up, and inflation is still lingering.
00:10:57.000If you have over $150,000, now is the time to move your money to a biblical responsible investing strategy with my friends at PAX Financial Group.
00:12:22.000In August of 2020, San Francisco city council member.
00:12:30.000She says, I want to make it clear that I believe strongly in defunding the police and reducing the numbers of officers on our force.
00:12:41.000For decades, we've had an imbalance in our city's budget with hundreds of millions of dollars going to San Francisco Police Department to have them do work they are not qualified to do.
00:12:54.000I want to defund the police and reduce the amount of police.
00:12:59.000Well, Hillary Ronin, not Hillary Rodham Clinton, but there are plenty of similarities, has kind of changed her tune, changed her tone.
00:13:09.000San Francisco used to be one of America's greatest cities.
00:13:31.000These Democrats, because they come from a flawed philosophical tradition, they believe human beings are naturally good, are destroying our once great cities.
00:14:12.000You were calling for the defunding of police when it mattered most during Floyd of Palooza because you thought you could be a virtue signaling upper-class white liberal.
00:14:22.000I don't, it's really going to be fascinating.
00:14:26.000I made a comment the other day and people said, oh, Charlie, how good do you say that?
00:14:28.000I said that suburban residential homes might decrease by 10 or 15%, but I'm actually somewhat more bullish on short and even long-term health of the housing market than most people.
00:14:40.000For one, people are not going to sell homes if they have a low interest rate or mortgage rate minus having death or divorce or bankruptcy.
00:15:21.000If we could get the tape here, I actually did a little schtick on this with Charlie Hurt and Sean Duffy and Dagon on Fox Business, where the eulogy that was written, it's one of the funniest things.
00:15:34.000Whole Foods closing in San Francisco received more articles than kids getting shot on the side of the street in Chicago.
00:15:46.000There was more national news coverage about the closure of Whole Foods than four or five-year-olds that are just shot indiscriminately in our nation cities.
00:15:55.000Literally, it is hundreds of articles.
00:15:58.000If you type in Whole Foods San Francisco, which obviously shows you, if you want to get white liberals really fired up, just close their Whole Foods.
00:16:07.000Where am I going to get my vegan cheese from?

00:19:11.000And of course, it's really a classic coming from Ron Paul, a man who's been speaking the truth for so long.
00:19:20.000He's kind of become a meme in his own right.
00:19:23.000You know, we should have listened to Ron Paul.
00:19:26.000And it's incredible to see him still going at it after all of these years.
00:19:32.000And, you know, he's best known for being one of the most brave and articulate critics of government abuse from the Federal Reserve, and, you know, which ties into some of what you were saying about gold.
00:19:49.000He's a critic of the Federal Reserve, critic of the national security state, and saying kind of things that now, thankfully, have become somewhat commonplace, somewhat accepted in the right.
00:20:02.000There's still a long ways to go, but he's been saying it for a long time.
00:20:07.000And the bit about Kennedy is fascinating.
00:20:10.000You know, it's one of the things I talked about with President Trump in our interview, which now has like over 7 million views on Rumble.
00:20:21.000But we got into the JFK files because Trump made an effort to release a lot of the classified government documents pertaining to the JFK assassination.
00:20:32.000He was able to get some of it out, but at the end of the process, he received pushback reportedly from Mike Pompeo and others.
00:20:41.000And so the full story hasn't been released yet to this day.
00:20:47.000But it certainly was an inflection point in our government in the relationship between the national security state and the American people.
00:20:56.000And we're still seeing the ramifications of that today with more recent government abuses.
00:21:03.000Yeah, I mean, look, anyone who studies the JFK assassination, it's very clear that there's more to the story than just the single shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald.
00:21:13.000I've always believed that there was a second shooter.
00:21:15.000And I think the Warren Commission is a joke and has been a joke.
00:21:19.000There's so much wrong with it in a variety of different ways.
00:21:23.000I have been focused on that for quite some time.
00:21:27.000Darren, Ron Paul's theory, though, is that that was the beginning of kind of the deep state regime.
00:21:32.000Like that was the shot across the bout.
00:21:38.000We can also maybe, and I don't know the circumstances regarding Bobby Kennedy being shot very well might have been a lone actor, but that one hasn't been examined as much.
00:21:48.000But I mean, you think about it, it's really interesting, right?
00:21:50.000Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Bobby Kennedy, and JFK, they tried to kill Gerald Ford.
00:21:57.000They even tried to kill Queen Elizabeth.
00:22:03.000I mean, we had a mass amount of activity.
00:22:05.000Some might have been lone actors, some might have been targeting.
00:22:07.000What do you think of that theory, Darian, that in some ways the deep state regime began when they were able to either kill Kennedy or cover up the truth of the death around Kennedy?
00:22:19.000And why are people so afraid to talk about this?
00:22:23.000Well, it's a really fascinating question.
00:22:26.000And, you know, as for the kind of narrative effect of pinpointing some kind of essential change at the Kennedy assassination, I mean, narratively, it's as good a time as any.
00:22:40.000But I have to remember, you know, basically the emergence of what Eisenhower called the military-industrial complex in the aftermath of World War II, I think is concurrent with this.
00:22:54.000So a lot of things were happening simultaneously that I think really had essential role to play in this transformation of the national security state to the degree that we basically become a society controlled by the national security state.
00:23:16.000And, you know, the Kennedy presidency in particular was interesting because he had a very interesting relationship with the intelligence community.
00:23:25.000You know, there's the, you know, the Bay of Pigs and A lot of other kinds of interesting entanglements.
00:23:35.000There is the role of kind of the mafia, and at the very least, sort of the intelligence agencies playing footsie with the mafia and the underworld.
00:23:46.000And I think that's another kind of dimension of sort of the hidden dimension of power in the United States that people don't appreciate is the kind of, I think it exists in these dark realms where the security state partners up with various elements of the underworld.
00:24:35.000So I think, you know, the context here, besides the abuses of the national security state, is really that it underscores the bizarre characteristic of our so-called liberal democracy that we actually face with a profound lack of transparency with respect to who really controls things.
00:25:44.000That's another kind of question that we're unable fully to address precisely because of this lack of transparency that weirdly, it doesn't seem to prevail in so-called authoritarian systems.
00:26:01.000In China, people kind of know she is in charge.
00:26:05.000Yes, there's kind of palace intrigue within the CCP, but pretty much it's understood she is the decision maker.
00:26:14.000In Russia, similarly with Putin in the United States, it's very opaque and it has been for a long time.
00:26:24.000That's what's so amazing is that no one, there's no way it could be the same person or persons that it was in 63 that it is now.
00:26:30.000It's just physically impossible, right?
00:26:33.000I mean, it makes you think, is there, you know, a series of beliefs or is there a spiritual dimension?
00:26:40.000I certainly believe there's a spiritual dimension to this, that there's principalities of darkness that are governing some of these people.
00:26:46.000And if you don't believe that, you're not looking hard enough.
00:26:48.000I mean, there is something so clandestine, so subterranean, so below the surface here.
00:26:54.000I think that's a really smart point, Darren, is that in most countries, you kind of can pinpoint, okay, it's Xi and his cabal of advisors.
00:27:12.000And who actually calls the shots and by what standard they call the shots and when do they decide to intervene?
00:27:19.000Or is it just kind of created its own mob consciousness amongst them where there really isn't a one decision maker, but they have some sort of uniformity of what they want?
00:27:31.000It's a good question that we're going to explore more.
00:27:37.000And I mean, it looks, how do we then best hold accountable or break apart this leviathan?
00:27:47.000It's very hard to do, especially when we don't understand it or have any meaningful transparency into it.
00:27:54.000And as you say, whatever the it is is likely to have evolved since the 60s and more likely than not devolved as I think everything around us disintegrates and deteriorates in terms of competence and efficacy.
00:28:12.000I don't think there's any reason to think that it's not the same thing in the kind of inner chambers of power, which is why I was saying earlier, it's a minor miracle in its own right whenever our deep state, as evil as it is, is able to pull anything off, which is why the Nordstream operation, assuming it was us, is so interesting.
00:28:39.000It's hard to believe even the Jeffrey Epstein playbook of having him suicided in a jail cell, that required a fairly impressive degree of secrecy and coordination, and it was done successfully.
00:28:53.000And the media reporting on it was kind of managed in a very interesting way, because usually things like this are managed.
00:29:04.000And for a long time, any discussion whatsoever of Epstein in the context of working for some intelligence agency was totally, totally taboo.
00:29:15.000But then, you know, we jump from the taboo aspect of it to becoming so commonplace that it's almost a joke and lacks any kind of real effect or teeth, which is an interesting sort of marker of how robust the system is, is that it can absorb the publicity of something like that by just funneling it into the Bread and Circuses joke machine of sort of American cultural life,
00:29:46.000which is kind of an interesting thing to think about whenever you think, oh, if only this so-and-so thing were revealed, well, you know, it takes a lot more than just having some information available on some corners of the internet to make it sort of admissible and permissible in terms of public discourse and sort of our collective consciousness.
00:30:15.000I think we're still at the road of understanding what the system is and who the players are.
00:30:24.000And I do think whatever it is, it's disintegrated considerably and things are falling apart in the inner chambers.
00:30:32.000And we're seeing less and less capability of the government or its operators to carry out sort of ambitious and successful and secretive operations along the lines of the storied and notorious ones that we saw in the past.
00:30:53.000And maybe it's trying to mix them up against each other, right?
00:30:56.000It's trying to turn different actors that have different incentives.
00:31:03.000And we really started to go wrong as Congress started to delegate all their powers to the administrative state.
00:31:10.000And then these private actors are able to get so much power and favor from the administrative state.
00:31:15.000It is a truly fascist model that has been implemented where you have three or four companies in every sector that call all the shots and they get special favors from Congress.
00:31:24.000One minute remaining, Darren, any latest with January 6th, the tapes or your investigation or reporting into that?
00:31:30.000As a matter of fact, yes, I've been working on a new January 6th piece that should be out tomorrow and at the very latest, early next week.
00:31:39.000So if I look tired, that's why there's a new piece coming out very soon at Revolver.news.
