00:00:03.000 My name is Charlie Kirk.
00:00:05.000 I run the largest pro American student organization in the country fighting for the future of our republic.
00:00:11.000 My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth.
00:00:14.000 If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're going to end up miserable.
00:00:19.000 But if the most important thing is doing good, you will end up purposeful.
00:00:24.000 College is a scam, everybody.
00:00:26.000 You got to stop sending your kids to college.
00:00:27.000 You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
00:00:31.000 Go start a Turning Point USA College chapter.
00:00:33.000 Go start a Turning Point USA High School chapter.
00:00:35.000 Go find out how your church can get involved.
00:00:37.000 Sign up and become an activist.
00:00:39.000 I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade.
00:00:41.000 Most important decision I ever made in my life.
00:00:43.000 And I encourage you to do the same.
00:00:45.000 Here I am.
00:00:46.000 Lord, use me.
00:00:48.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:49.000 Here we go.

00:01:17.000 Welcome, everybody.
00:01:19.000 Happy Monday, October 19th, 2026.
00:01:22.000 We are live from the YRefi Studios in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:01:26.000 Honored to be with you all.
00:01:28.000 Blake, how are we doing?
00:01:29.000 You know, I feel a little gloomy today.
00:01:31.000 Really?
00:01:31.000 Well, what we saw over the weekend, I'm grateful.
00:01:34.000 It's not in my country, but I get really upset when I see.
00:01:38.000 Bad stuff happened in Europe, actually.
00:01:40.000 I do too.
00:01:40.000 Like really bad stuff.
00:01:42.000 And that was the big story throughout the weekend, as we're going to talk about.
00:01:44.000 It's that France, a country with a lot of history, a country that's very beautiful, a country a lot of people have probably been to at least, well, I don't want to say probably many people have been to at least once in their life, and they likely really enjoyed it while they were there.
00:01:57.000 That country is becoming, along with Britain, just exhibit A to their exhibit B of what happens if you go too far down the leftward path.
00:02:08.000 Yeah.
00:02:08.000 And what that means right now is it means.
00:02:11.000 Gigantic riots, which there have been a lot of riots in France, but what happened this past weekend?
00:02:17.000 Town Hall in Limoges, a Beaux Arts iconic building from about 150 years ago, extremely beautiful, just torched, destroyed by rioters.
00:02:26.000 The Louvre, right now, famous museum where the Mona Lisa is and about 10 million other famous paintings, is closed right now because they have to worry about unrest in the city.
00:02:36.000 And there's no signs that this is stopping.
00:02:39.000 It's spreading.
00:02:40.000 It's spreading to Lisbon.
00:02:41.000 And it spread to Milan as well. 1.00
00:02:43.000 Brussels, another very migrant and heavy city.
00:02:46.000 And it's a mixture of a lot of young migrant and migrant descended people rioting. 0.99
00:02:51.000 You have the left defending it. 0.95
00:02:53.000 I saw throughout the weekend, you saw all these takes from people who had the Hamas flag or the Gaza flag or that watermelon that they use as their logo because it has the color scheme.
00:03:03.000 And they'll say things.
00:03:03.000 This is one I just saw yesterday.
00:03:05.000 Buildings can be rebuilt, lives lost to cruelty and exploitation cannot.
00:03:09.000 Don't want to lose beautiful historic architecture.
00:03:12.000 F with people's well being.
00:03:12.000 Don't.
00:03:14.000 So making excuses for incredibly depraved behavior and saying more of it will happen if you don't give us what we want.
00:03:21.000 And that's the flip side of it.
00:03:22.000 Why is that country in a gigantic mess?
00:03:25.000 Well, they're broke actually.
00:03:27.000 In France, a retiree makes more money than a working person, and it's an aging country.
00:03:33.000 And they're claiming all these demonstrators are saying we're rioting because our schools are underfunded.
00:03:39.000 France has a higher percentage of spending coming from the government than the USSR in the year that it fell.
00:03:47.000 Yeah, well, and that is a really big problem when you get those age trees that go up, right? 0.79
00:03:53.000 And so, you have very few young people supporting an aging gerontocracy, an aging retiree program that make a lot of money, that are guaranteed to have a lot of money.
00:04:03.000 So, it's a massive problem.
00:04:05.000 They're not having new kids.
00:04:06.000 So, that's an issue.
00:04:07.000 France, by the way, it's worth stating, typically had more children than some of the other Western European nations.
00:04:15.000 It's still below replacement, but that is something that France has actually done better with than some of the other Western European nations.
00:04:21.000 So, this started, obviously, you've heard that this is supposed to be a student led protest.
00:04:26.000 They were originally, and this is kind of going by September, this was already starting.
00:04:32.000 There were working class suburbs and poor school conditions that, you know, like teacher shortages, dilapidated buildings, these kind of things.
00:04:39.000 And it started overlapping with a call to revive the yellow vest protest movement.
00:04:45.000 Now, you might remember, yes, it is true, France tends to erupt in protest from time to time.
00:04:50.000 It just seems to be, you know, about as sure as, you know, the sun coming up that France is going to have some protests and some rioting.
00:04:57.000 But this has, Morphed into something way larger and way bigger and way more destructive than your average French protest.
00:05:06.000 And all the pictures seem to indicate that there are a lot of migrant children or children of migrants themselves, right?
00:05:14.000 So they might be born in France, but they're still not exactly the image of a French student that you would have in your mind. 1.00
00:05:21.000 They're burning, they're looting, and they're destroying beautiful French architecture.
00:05:26.000 So it's a huge problem.
00:05:27.000 And now it's morphed into this Antifa socialist communist.
00:05:32.000 And that's another one.
00:05:34.000 Globbed on to this.
00:05:35.000 This is Antifa Group Lyon.
00:05:37.000 October 17th was a warning.
00:05:39.000 That's the day that Town Hall burned down in Limoges.
00:05:42.000 If you continue to develop a deadly capitalism and to fuel the rise of the far right, this day will repeat itself again and again.
00:05:48.000 Calling for more order and authority is a grave mistake.
00:05:52.000 Yes.
00:05:53.000 So if you go online and you get deeper into the comments section, there's basically this debate about whether or not this is a communist revolution or whether this is a migrant invasion.
00:06:03.000 And my answer to anybody asking that question is yes.
00:06:07.000 Both are working in unison.
00:06:09.000 Both are working together.
00:06:11.000 And we know that Antifa groups, a lot of people don't know this, but Antifa has always been actually even worse in Europe.
00:06:18.000 That's actually where a lot of this anti fascist literature and ideology sprang up first.
00:06:24.000 It was exported to the United States.
00:06:25.000 Obviously, we have a problem here, but it's really bad in Europe.
00:06:28.000 Okay.
00:06:29.000 And they tend to glob onto these migrant groups because remember, it's all intersectionality.
00:06:33.000 It's like who's the victim?
00:06:35.000 Who is oppressed?
00:06:36.000 We all come together.
00:06:38.000 It doesn't matter if our ideologies at some level.
00:06:41.000 Are contradictory to one another, we're going to use each other to usher in this radical, explosive, fiery change and revolution.
00:06:50.000 Okay, so, but we have to make it clear there is a lot of Antifa socialist communist energy that is undergirding this.
00:06:58.000 Check out this clip from Nick Shirley.
00:07:00.000 He's on the ground in France.
00:07:02.000 Pray for his safety.
00:07:03.000 And he starts asking mass rioters if they're with Antifa.
00:07:06.000 Here's their answer Sot 9.
00:07:07.000 On arrest here in the streets.
00:07:15.000 Street signs are getting taken down.
00:07:20.000 And what organization are you part of?
00:07:21.000 Are you part of Antifa?
00:07:22.000 Yeah, Antifa.
00:07:23.000 The streets of Paris are literally on fire.
00:07:26.000 Police have moved in.
00:07:32.000 Man, that's a lot.
00:07:34.000 That's a lot going on, all right?
00:07:35.000 So here's what's also, I think, fueling this is that leadership in France, instead of cracking down on this, They're sounding very appeasing.
00:07:46.000 Now, some arrests have been made, certainly, and they're doing some work to quell the uprising.
00:07:52.000 But I think over 500 police and first responders have been injured in these protests.
00:07:58.000 That's a lot, by the way, just while we're keeping track.
00:08:01.000 1,500 or so rioters have been arrested.
00:08:04.000 There are over 500,000 of these people that have taken the streets, so a very small number.
00:08:08.000 And listen to the tone of Emmanuel Macron as he's addressing this, okay?
00:08:14.000 Stop four.
00:08:16.000 The youth of our nation are expressing great anguish and concern about the future.
00:08:22.000 The The conditions of where their careers will take them, what role they will be able to play in society.
00:08:30.000 They say that the future that they have is not one that we could desire.
00:08:35.000 And I hear what they are saying.
00:08:37.000 For the past 10 years, I've been fighting for them.
00:08:40.000 So we need to pay heed to what they're saying.
00:08:43.000 And we mustn't minimize the hardships that they are facing.
00:08:46.000 Blake, I've been shaking your head.
00:08:48.000 It's very weak.
00:08:50.000 This is always a bad sign.
00:08:51.000 It was terrible when you saw it in 2020.
00:08:53.000 When you concede, oh, This mob that has unlimited thirst for destruction, that loves to hurt innocent people, terrorize innocent people, try to impose its will by violence on the vast majority of the public.
00:09:06.000 When you concede, oh, well, they have valid grievances, you are losing the game.
00:09:09.000 You have to send a message.
00:09:10.000 He legitimized that.
00:09:11.000 It's categorically unacceptable. 1.00
00:09:13.000 And if you keep doing this, we will, well, let's be frank, we will shoot you eventually. 0.99
00:09:17.000 Yeah. 0.96
00:09:18.000 And I don't think the French have that kind of motto in them.
00:09:20.000 They don't. 0.79
00:09:20.000 And you know what? 0.79
00:09:21.000 That book everyone brings up, The Camp of the Saints, that's how it ends, is that they could stop it and they just won't because it makes them feel too icky to use violence.
00:09:28.000 Yep.
00:09:29.000 So they lose their country.
00:09:30.000 They're legitimizing the violence and destruction, and it is a cautionary tale to the entirety of the West.
00:09:36.000 This is what we are going to face, potentially even in America.
00:09:40.000 They're talking about on November 20th, expanding what's happening in France to 12 other nations across the globe.
00:09:48.000 You have networks that are praising this uprising and calling for it to spread.
00:09:53.000 So is it going to spread here?
00:09:55.000 I think that's a real question we should ask.
00:09:57.000 But here's the cautionary tale for you The left has embraced.
00:10:01.000 All of the underlying elements that have poured fuel on this fire.
00:10:05.000 And there is a woman that is going viral in France. 0.80
00:10:09.000 She is a store owner, a shopkeeper, and she tries to plead with the migrant and migrant youth that are inspired by this anti fascist revolutionary energy to torch their city and loot buildings and stores. 0.99
00:10:24.000 And she's pleading with them. 0.97
00:10:25.000 She says, This isn't the cause.
00:10:27.000 I support you.
00:10:28.000 I've been voting for you.
00:10:30.000 And they push her aside, tell her to shut up, and she's left.
00:10:36.000 Gobsmacked, flabbergasted at the reality coming crashing down around her.
00:10:41.000 And she is becoming a meme, a symbolic totem for this entire, I guess, phenomenon.
00:10:48.000 So let's play this.
00:10:49.000 I haven't seen this clip.
00:10:50.000 Hopefully, it's descriptive.
00:10:51.000 Stop three.
00:10:52.000 It's in there, but.
00:10:54.000 We want to win.
00:11:08.000 Yeah, so that was in French, but we'd had subtitles, and she's saying, Stop!
00:11:14.000 I'm with you!
00:11:15.000 I'm with you.
00:11:16.000 It doesn't matter. 0.84
00:11:17.000 It's like the classic image from Kenosha, where it was the burning auto dealership or some sort of store, and it had Black Lives Matter on the sign as the whole thing's on fire. 0.82
00:11:27.000 And they're trying to run that con again, actually. 0.51
00:11:30.000 So Jean Luc Mélenchon, who's the far left candidate in French politics who's going to be running for president next year, and He's trying to run this op.
00:11:41.000 He posted an image where it's the non destructive riots that were happening across France in 20 cities, where he goes, Crowds of people everywhere, calm and joyful everywhere when the police aren't around.
00:11:53.000 Images you won't see in the official media.
00:11:55.000 They are 100% trying to run in France the mostly peaceful protests op.
00:12:00.000 Oh, we have proof.
00:12:02.000 Sop 14.
00:12:03.000 This underscores your point.
00:12:05.000 Sop 14.
00:12:05.000 In Paris and beyond, half a million people had filled cities across France to protest.
00:12:13.000 Over the future of their country.
00:12:16.000 They were mostly peaceful, but as we saw in the capital, in the wings were those who wanted to take advantage of the disorder.
00:12:24.000 Mostly peaceful.
00:12:25.000 And you just have to not give into that lie because even if it's mostly peaceful, the fact that you have that cutting edge of rioters who will burn, who will loot, who will hit you and will rob you and everything else, maybe kill you, that's what gives it's intended to give menace.
00:12:43.000 To all the other peaceful protests.
00:12:45.000 They are lying to your face, and any politician who indulges this mostly peaceful op, if they're doing anything other than demanding that anyone who violently protested be immediately arrested and thrown in prison themselves, that person is lying to you.
00:12:59.000 They are allies of the rioters and trying to help those people get away with mayhem and destruction.
00:13:05.000 Yeah.
00:13:06.000 Well, and it's interesting to me, we had this other story that emerged this morning from Elon Musk.
00:13:10.000 He's going to be giving a share, one of his shares of SpaceX, to every kid in America.
00:13:17.000 And he said he's going to do this next year.
00:13:18.000 He's pledged it.
00:13:19.000 So, 72 million kids in America.
00:13:21.000 That's about the shares are about $146 a share.
00:13:24.000 Who knows what they'll be next year?
00:13:26.000 Could be higher.
00:13:26.000 But that's around $10.5 billion he's donating to the kids.
00:13:30.000 And what strikes me is that in an era where you have these permission structures, when you have Macron pandering to the looters and to the rioters, and you have our elites funding the NGOs that create the intellectual and ideological subtext for these rioters to, you know, Loot and pillage with impunity.
00:13:54.000 And they are trying to deconstruct the system, right?
00:13:56.000 They're looking for climate justice.
00:13:58.000 You know, got Bill Gates sending mosquito nets to Africa.
00:14:02.000 And you have the Rockefeller Foundation working to increase farm yields in Africa.
00:14:08.000 And you have Lorraine Powell Jobs working on LGBT rights issues and climate justice and racial justice.
00:14:15.000 Here you have a man who gives directly, bypassing the NGOs, bypassing the consultant class and the grifter class.
00:14:24.000 Going straight to the American people, powered by Trump accounts, and giving it right to young people.
00:14:29.000 And what does this do?
00:14:31.000 And I want you to think about this in the context of what's happening in France.
00:14:34.000 This gives young people a stake, a share of the American dream, skin in the game.
00:14:40.000 They are now owners, not renters, not leasers.
00:14:45.000 They will be owners of the American dream.
00:14:47.000 You pair this with what Michael Dell has done.
00:14:51.000 And this is the way that you inspire wealth creation.
00:14:54.000 This is the way that you inspire people to not deconstruct.
00:14:58.000 The system that has blessed them, and they are too naive or ill informed to understand their blessings.
00:15:05.000 This is a way that you encourage them to love it and uphold it and to keep it and to preserve it.
00:15:11.000 So, God bless Elon Musk.
00:15:13.000 This is true.
00:15:14.000 And he says it's the first of many, by the way, Blake.
00:15:17.000 But I remember Charlie was so excited about Trump accounts.
00:15:19.000 He was so excited about the opportunities that this would give families to invest in their own children and grandchildren.
00:15:28.000 You could win money at a spelling bee and you could gamify it.
00:15:31.000 But this gives people a share of the pie.
00:15:34.000 And that is the way.
00:15:36.000 That you reduce radical politics.
00:15:37.000 That is the way that you defame these anti fascist, they're Antifa, these socialist communist energies across the West.
00:15:45.000 So good on Elon Musk.
00:15:46.000 What a tale of two stories on one day.
00:15:49.000 I mean, it's the only, that is ultimately going to have to be the fix.
00:15:53.000 It is the great, one of the great conservatizing phenomena you talked about is buying a home.
00:15:58.000 And what that's about is it's not merely that you feel successful, it's that you have your thing that you care about protecting.
00:16:04.000 And people fear loss, most people fear loss a lot more than they desire gain.
00:16:10.000 It's sort of one of our biases that we have in our head.
00:16:13.000 And so, a nation of small farmers, like America was in its early days, is innately a relatively conservative country because it's a bunch of people who know that it takes work to build things and things are easily lost, easily destroyed, and they care about protecting that little patrimony of theirs.
00:16:31.000 So, it's no surprise that when America was a nation with millions upon millions of small landholders, small businessmen, that we created a great constitutional system.
00:16:41.000 That has worked so well for so long. 0.59
00:16:44.000 And in nations that don't have a lot of owners, you get this angry proletariat who are much more inclined to burn things down, destroy things, follow demagogues who say, I'll give you everything, you have nothing.
00:16:56.000 But it's also great 3D chess from Elon Musk here. 0.84
00:17:00.000 So, Elon Musk, he understands that he is persona non grata.
00:17:04.000 He is the main target when it comes to the anti capitalist revolution sweeping across France and is trying to be exported across the West.
00:17:12.000 Well, guess what?
00:17:13.000 Now, all the young kids are going to grow up being owners in SpaceX.
00:17:17.000 They might care a little bit more about the fact that this billionaire and maybe trillionaire is giving money to them, giving them an ownership piece of one of the most innovative, pioneering tech companies ever birthed into the global scene.
00:17:31.000 So, it's really, really smart from him, actually, because it is a counter narrative to the prevailing narrative that young people think that these fat cats don't care.
00:17:39.000 We will always have elites.
00:17:42.000 And as Charlie said, we just need better elites.
00:17:44.000 And this is the way.

00:18:47.000 Without further ado, we have Orrin McIntyre from The Blaze, host of the Orrin McIntyre Show.
00:18:52.000 Very smart guy.
00:18:53.000 Orrin, I want to show you a picture.
00:18:56.000 Just throw up 149. 1.00
00:18:59.000 This is the French woman that has become. 1.00
00:19:02.000 This is oil on canvas. 0.98
00:19:04.000 I got this from Redheaded Libertarian.
00:19:05.000 It was pretty funny. 1.00
00:19:07.000 Woman confronted with the consequences of her decisions.
00:19:11.000 Oil on canvas, 2026.
00:19:15.000 Liberal left wing woman who said, I'm with you. 1.00
00:19:17.000 Don't loot my store. 1.00
00:19:19.000 Don't do this to me. 1.00
00:19:21.000 And then they loot it and they push her out of the way, tell her to shut up.
00:19:24.000 I think this is a fantastic allegory for the entirety of what we're seeing in France.
00:19:30.000 But there are so many angles here, Oren.
00:19:33.000 What is your takeaway when you see what's happening in France?
00:19:36.000 And do you think it's coming for us next?
00:19:38.000 I think there is a lot to be learned from the French situation there.
00:19:41.000 The first thing we should know is that France took up the idea of civic nationalism.
00:19:47.000 They took this idea that anywhere and everywhere France has ruled, where French ideals have spread, there the people are French.
00:19:55.000 And so if you bring someone in and you incorporate them into your society, it'll be okay.
00:20:00.000 They actually even banned public displays of religious imagery in the idea that they would turn the entire country into some kind of secular utopian paradise where everyone could coexist.
00:20:10.000 And instead, we see the consequences of this that the idea that these people would ultimately assimilate, they would ultimately become French, they would adopt French values, they would blend into the country.
00:20:20.000 That did not work. 0.72
00:20:21.000 Even when they passed laws to try to ban things that would ultimately signify yourself as Muslim, as other, as different, that did not work. 0.99
00:20:29.000 So when we talk about passing laws about banning Sharia law or something in the United States, yeah, sure, do it. 1.00
00:20:35.000 But ultimately, the problem is the people being there. 1.00
00:20:38.000 The presence of the people themselves is causing this tension.
00:20:42.000 And you can ban anything or everything you want.
00:20:44.000 You can tell yourself that anyone can become French and that French values will ultimately paper over all differences.
00:20:49.000 But that's just not true.
00:20:50.000 And it's not going to be true in America either.
00:20:52.000 Well, so this then becomes a question about who should you incorporate?
00:20:57.000 The West has a massive immigration problem, and we have a massive immigrant population.
00:21:03.000 Countries like France spread their rule across the world, and now they're trying to incorporate all those people into their nation.
00:21:10.000 The UK has a similar situation.
00:21:13.000 So, who ultimately should the West?
00:21:16.000 Incorporate or how should they incorporate them?
00:21:19.000 Who should get franchised?
00:21:20.000 These types of questions are things that we haven't asked in the West really in a serious way because we approached it with this tabula rasa everybody's the same, everybody can be assimilated, but yet we've lost the will and the self confidence in our own cultures to demand assimilation.
00:21:37.000 So it just becomes this huge mess.
00:21:38.000 And then the question is can you undo it?
00:21:40.000 I think of in the United States, everybody gets a vote.
00:21:43.000 Doesn't matter if you're a welfare queen, doesn't matter if you're a public charge, it doesn't matter if you just got here. 0.97
00:21:49.000 And we were naturalized two days ago, we give you the franchise. 0.74
00:21:52.000 And then these people get to determine the future of Western civilization.
00:21:55.000 And it's pretty scary, as he said, that France went far more all in on this idea of that, yeah, everyone can be French.
00:22:04.000 It's all, you know, Frenchness is just an idea.
00:22:07.000 All of that, like, much more, like, it's not, the government is not allowed to collect demographic data in France.
00:22:12.000 So, how white or black or Arab is France?
00:22:15.000 We don't know according to official government data because they do not collect it.
00:22:18.000 That's the sort of thing they have done in France because they hard committed to that idea.
00:22:23.000 And what we see is that that is getting thrown back in their face by so many of these demonstrations.
00:22:29.000 It is a bigger question, though, right, Oren?
00:22:33.000 Who should be determining the future of your country?
00:22:35.000 And the West, I have to say, has a massive structural problem when it comes to this.
00:22:41.000 Yeah, obviously, as you and I were kind of discussing yesterday, democracy is a huge issue here.
00:22:47.000 When you grant the idea that the citizens, or anyone who holds a paperwork that says they are a citizen, they have the right to vote.
00:22:54.000 They have a right to determine the future of the country, then you're opening yourself up to the dangers of demographic change. 0.54
00:23:00.000 Most of the multicultural societies throughout history tended to be empires.
00:23:05.000 They tended to be ones in which there was a strong authority in the center and they kind of negotiated the differences between all these different cultures and people.
00:23:13.000 But when you're talking about democracy, or much better, what we should actually be aiming for is a republic, republics are built on the idea of a shared identity, a shared worldview, a shared way of life.
00:23:24.000 That membership inside that society then grants you a say in what is happening there because you sacrifice for it, you've served in the military.
00:23:33.000 You own land, you've demonstrated your ability to manage a household.
00:23:36.000 You are someone who has earned a right to have a say in your society. 0.90
00:23:40.000 When you have foreigners coming in on a consistent basis who have not established this, who have no history with the society, who have not absorbed the values, do not have that long heritage and tradition tied to who they are, and they step in in large numbers, obviously they can quickly change where your society is going through the democratic mechanism, which to be fair is exactly what parties like the Democratic Party have explicitly said they want to do. 0.95
00:24:04.000 They want to replace. 0.99
00:24:05.000 Replace the people of the United States. 0.55
00:24:06.000 The Great Replacement is not a conspiracy theory. 0.75
00:24:08.000 It is the Democratic Party's policy. 0.77
00:24:11.000 They want to replace the American people with foreigners who will be more likely to vote for them. 0.99
00:24:15.000 And of course, if those foreigners come from even more dangerous places like the Middle East with Islam and other very foreign belief systems like Hinduism, then ultimately they irreparably change what's happening in your society. 1.00
00:24:28.000 So the very first thing you have to do is you have to limit immigration radically. 1.00
00:24:33.000 We have to see this stop. 0.93
00:24:34.000 Now, to be fair, To many European countries.
00:24:36.000 I don't know about France.
00:24:37.000 I'm not as familiar, but I know, for instance, in England, they have voted, much like Americans, for reduced immigration for decades.
00:24:45.000 And the leaders have lied to me at them every time.
00:24:48.000 They've betrayed them every time.
00:24:50.000 They haven't had a Trump who's come in and kept good on the idea of closing the borders, shutting down immigration, working on every avenue of reducing those visas and everything else that are bringing large amounts of people in.
00:25:00.000 They have not successfully been able to vote for a candidate who will keep those promises.
00:25:05.000 And so they are extremely frustrated in this moment.
00:25:08.000 The UK, France, all of these countries desperately need real right wing candidates. 0.67
00:25:14.000 Candidates that are very serious about shutting down immigration and will keep their word no matter what.
00:25:18.000 The fact that Marine Le Pen, who's supposed to be this crazy right wing candidate, is talking about how Islam does belong in France, it's not very heartening.
00:25:27.000 Well, that is the silver lining here.
00:25:30.000 But to your point, maybe it's not so silver the right wing is surging in France and they were already ahead in the polls, which is interesting.
00:25:37.000 So this rioting is going to have political ramifications in the future.
00:25:40.000 We'll see what it is.
00:25:41.000 You brought up.
00:25:43.000 The fact that other nations don't have a Trump, right?
00:25:46.000 For all of our frustrations, Oren, you and I share them when it comes to Iran, when it comes to some of the other decision making.
00:25:53.000 President Trump is singular across the West in one way.
00:25:57.000 Look at this.
00:25:58.000 Under President Trump's leadership, he's used executive powers, so basically foregoing the legislature.
00:26:05.000 He has accomplished the largest cut to legal immigration since the 1920s, since Calvin Coolidge.
00:26:12.000 Muslim and African immigration is down 90%.
00:26:17.000 Okay, let me repeat this because it's that big of a deal.
00:26:22.000 The largest cut to legal migration into the United States, this is from the New York Times, since the 1920s, Muslim and African immigration is down 90%. 1.00
00:26:31.000 That is a huge, huge accomplishment. 1.00
00:26:33.000 So for me, you could be dooming about this, that, the other.
00:26:38.000 You could be mad about Epstein.
00:26:39.000 You could be mad about Iran.
00:26:40.000 I certainly share some of those frustrations.
00:26:43.000 But when it comes to overall, what is the accomplishment?
00:26:47.000 The central accomplishment of the Trump administration is tackling the issue.
00:26:51.000 Of migration.
00:26:52.000 He is singular in this respect.
00:26:54.000 Am I wrong?
00:26:55.000 No, not at all.
00:26:56.000 Look, I've said this several times and I'll say it again. 0.51
00:26:58.000 I am legitimately furious about the Iran war. 0.97
00:27:01.000 I think it was a huge mistake that greatly derailed the administration and some of the promises that it was supposed to keep.
00:27:08.000 But ultimately, Donald Trump has been, without a doubt, the best president of my lifetime, especially on the issue of immigration.
00:27:17.000 We've heard for decades and decades from Republicans that we simply could not close the border.
00:27:22.000 We heard from people like Dan Crenshaw that we had to pass a bunch of legislation and get so much more statutory help and everything else to make this happen.
00:27:31.000 And the Trump administration basically hit a button and closed the whole thing down.
00:27:34.000 I know it's more complicated than that.
00:27:35.000 I'm giving them credit here. 0.93
00:27:37.000 But ultimately, the point is that they were able to shut down this immigration in a way that no other president, no other Republican has ever done or would have ever done. 0.94
00:27:46.000 And so, even if I'm frustrated with something like the Iran war, I'm not going to go tell people, hey, go burn down your country because you're angry with Trump over the war.
00:27:56.000 Sorry, like we are in an existential moment when it comes to immigration. 0.79
00:27:59.000 When we look at countries like France, it's obvious what it will cost us if the borders. 0.99
00:28:04.000 Open up. 0.67
00:28:04.000 So, Oren, I do have a question because if you go online, there was a bit of a debate at a back and forth about whether this is a socialist communist revolution or this is an immigrant fueled wave of resentment and frustration. 0.67
00:28:17.000 Por que no los dos?
00:28:19.000 Yeah.
00:28:20.000 Exactly.
00:28:20.000 Make the point and fuse those two together.
00:28:24.000 Communism has almost always simply been an ideology that third worlders use to loot the developed world. 1.00
00:28:31.000 That's what it's actually about. 1.00
00:28:33.000 They know that Marxism doesn't work.
00:28:35.000 It's not like you can't look at the economy of the Soviet Union.
00:28:38.000 And figure out that it failed. 0.80
00:28:39.000 But they don't care about the ideology and its success at the end of the day because it's a mechanism to redistribute money from the people who have it, the native people of the United States, to people who do not, foreigners coming in. 0.75
00:28:51.000 So, yes, there are some homegrown socialists who are using the Marxist rhetoric and they are teaming up with the immigrants to go ahead and take your money so they can build a strong client base. 0.86
00:29:01.000 That's true. 0.88
00:29:02.000 But it doesn't have to be one or the other.
00:29:05.000 It doesn't have to be, oh, just an ideological revolution or just a revolution about immigrants. 0.72
00:29:11.000 These two groups can work together because ultimately what they want is to dismantle the United States as it exists now. 0.88
00:29:17.000 I think that's well said.
00:29:19.000 I don't think there's any debate.
00:29:20.000 This is the thing.
00:29:21.000 Everybody's like, oh, it's not funded.
00:29:22.000 Well, there are people that are getting funded.
00:29:24.000 There are NGOs and politicians and media apparatus that are giving a permission structure.
00:29:29.000 And the other debate is, oh, it's not immigrants.
00:29:31.000 It's anti fascists.
00:29:33.000 It's Antifa and communists.
00:29:34.000 It's like, it's all of the above, folks.
00:29:37.000 These are their compatriots, their comrades in arms.
00:29:41.000 And they want to destroy Western civilization.
00:29:44.000 Oren, we got to talk about this.
00:29:46.000 Elise Slotkin, former CIA, now she's a senator from the state of Michigan.
00:29:53.000 She was asked about prosecuting the Trump administration, and she had an answer that went viral.
00:29:59.000 And I think you and I texted about it yesterday.
00:30:01.000 Let's play the clip and we'll get your response on the other side.
00:30:04.000 SOT 16.
00:30:05.000 So that's what I'm saying.
00:30:06.000 I want to look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president, but on the people who enabled him.
00:30:12.000 I want.
00:30:13.000 Young people coming out of school to say, Should I go work for the Trump administration?
00:30:17.000 Like, that sounds fun.
00:30:18.000 I might get an opportunity.
00:30:19.000 I want them to be like, Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don't want.
00:30:26.000 And so let me avoid participating in that.
00:30:29.000 I want that deterrence message.
00:30:32.000 I have so many thoughts, Oren, but I'm going to give you the floor.
00:30:37.000 I think this is a much more important clip than perhaps many in the audience realize at this point.
00:30:43.000 Explain your take on it.
00:30:45.000 Yeah, this is incredibly dangerous.
00:30:47.000 Like, I can't even explain how dangerous a statement like this is.
00:30:51.000 I have been warning for a while that this is where the Democratic Party was going, but she announced it out loud and made it obvious.
00:30:59.000 We are in a scenario where now, functionally, democracy is over.
00:31:04.000 We had the Democrats attempt to kill the president, attempt to remove the president from the ballot, put the president in jail so that he could not run again.
00:31:14.000 That itself is already an incredible threat to the idea that there could be a peaceful transfer of power after an election in the United States.
00:31:23.000 Now, the Democrats are announcing out loud that their strategy is to use the Justice Department so thoroughly that they will destroy the idea that anyone would want to work for a Republican administration, to work for someone like Donald Trump, so that basically the president would have no staff, no ability to put anyone in a position of power because they'd be so terrified of what happens once the next party comes in.
00:31:48.000 That means that if at any point the left gets into power, they will effectively destroy the lives of anyone and everyone who worked for the Trump administration.
00:31:56.000 In the hopes that it will chill the political actions of younger Republicans, younger conservatives.
00:32:02.000 You cannot, cannot have a representative form of government, an elected government in an environment like this.
00:32:10.000 You cannot have an elected government where you actively use the government itself to intimidate your opponents into ensuring that they would never, ever run for office or serve because ultimately you would destroy them legally.
00:32:21.000 This is third world stuff.
00:32:23.000 You either win or you die.
00:32:24.000 You win or you go to jail.
00:32:26.000 You win or you have your life.
00:32:27.000 Ruin.
00:32:28.000 We are facing truly existential politics, and the Democrats are driving as hard as possible to ensure that legitimate elections are extremely difficult in the future and that any loss politically could be existential.
00:32:40.000 And yeah, let's drive that home.
00:32:43.000 That's how a lot of these regimes, a lot of nominally weak democratic governments fall apart in third world countries, is that sense that, okay, I mean, look at Bolsonaro, for example, that Jair Bolsonaro, he gave up power in Brazil, and his reward was he was promptly thrown in prison.
00:33:01.000 Now, his son is running to get him out, but a lot of drama is going into that.
00:33:05.000 A lot of Bolsonaro's would make the calculation well, if I'm going to be thrown in prison on trumped up charges if I leave power, how about I just not leave power?
00:33:13.000 And haven't we seen that play out over and over again?
00:33:15.000 And now we're just inviting that to happen in the United States at some point in our history after 250 years of unproblematic successions.
00:33:25.000 Yeah, I mean, this is the classic story of Caesar, right?
00:33:27.000 Why do you get Julius Caesar?
00:33:29.000 Why does he take power in the Roman Republic?
00:33:31.000 Well, because if he handed power back over, The Senate promised that they would arrest him, they would throw him in jail, that he would pay a price for not relinquishing power.
00:33:39.000 So he simply didn't.
00:33:40.000 When you back people into a corner like this, when you say either you maintain power, you never turn power over, or else we're going to destroy you, you incentivize them to say, well, fine, then I guess I will not abide by an election.
00:33:52.000 I will not follow the rules.
00:33:53.000 I will retain power.
00:33:54.000 In fact, it doesn't even become an immoral decision at some point because if you turn over power to your enemies, those that have declared that they're going to do damage to you, they're going to harm you physically, physically, emotionally, they're going to take away your freedom, lock you in jail.
00:34:08.000 Well, it would be immoral to turn power over your country to those people.
00:34:13.000 Like it would make no sense for you to cede power to people who have already promised they were going to destroy you and the people that you love.
00:34:20.000 This is, again, an incredibly dangerous type of rhetoric that will surely bring serious consequences to our system if it continues.
00:34:29.000 You know what I find really striking about this?
00:34:31.000 And I agree with everything that you've said.
00:34:33.000 I mean, what Elise Slotkin is doing here is basically saying win or die.
00:34:40.000 And when you have a politics like that, It's not, it's not, it's not no longer possible to do the peaceful transfer of power. 0.51
00:34:47.000 It's no longer possible to do business as usual.
00:34:49.000 And so, I don't even think she understood just how radical a thing she said was.
00:34:54.000 I mean, but she said it out loud, and frankly, there's a lot of Democrats that already believe this, right?
00:34:58.000 And that's really part of it, it's just that mindlessness to it.
00:35:01.000 Like, oh, yeah, duh.
00:35:03.000 It's really frustrating.
00:35:04.000 But the other part that's really rich is that they will now turn around and accuse Donald Trump of being the one that has weaponized the judicial system, right?
00:35:13.000 Going after Ilhan Omar or things of that nature.
00:35:16.000 When we know it's the left that has pioneered this entire thing, we know that it is them that, as you said, tried to throw.
00:35:23.000 President Trump in prison for 700 years.
00:35:25.000 They tried to bankrupt him.
00:35:26.000 They ginned up E. Jean Carroll, financed her civil suit, reversed the statute of limitations law for one year just to get him out.
00:35:33.000 They basically had to invent four novel prosecutions to go after Donald Trump.
00:35:36.000 And it's not, no one's been honest about it because so many law professors hated Trump that they were part and parcel to let's rewrite or rejigger or reinterpret every law possible to put Donald Trump in prison.
00:35:48.000 They had four different, four criminal cases and a civil case.
00:35:52.000 And every single one of them needed a change to the law.
00:35:55.000 Either an interpretation or statute.
00:35:57.000 That's insane. 0.72
00:35:57.000 And to boot, it was Joe Biden and the Auto Pen that pardoned half his outgoing administration. 0.72
00:36:04.000 So they're the ones that understand. 0.93
00:36:06.000 That was pure projection, by the way.
00:36:07.000 It was pure projection of their intentions against Donald Trump, of what they did on the way out.
00:36:12.000 So they know the game.
00:36:13.000 They know the game that they're playing, and they're not going to let President Trump play it against them.
00:36:16.000 But you had a tweet basically saying that the fact that President Trump has not gone after Moore could be a strategic blunder, if you will.
00:36:25.000 Explain that one minute left, Orrin McIntyre.
00:36:27.000 Yeah, to be really clear, this is actually what Donald Trump should have been doing to the Democrats.
00:36:31.000 After they weaponized the DOJ, after they went after Trump the way they did, after they destroyed, basically tried to throw his staff in jail, ultimately, you have to have some kind of payback.
00:36:43.000 The only thing that creates an equilibrium in a situation like this is tit for tat, when you have to push back just as hard as you got pushed.
00:36:51.000 And if you don't, then ultimately they're going to take advantage because they realize there will be no consequence for their actions.
00:36:57.000 Donald Trump, Has done great things on areas like immigration, but did not do enough to punish the people who tried to destroy him and the people who worked for him.
00:37:06.000 And he will pay for that.
00:37:07.000 They will see that mercy as weakness and they will push back twice as hard.
00:37:13.000 It doesn't matter if Donald Trump hasn't done the things we wish he would do.
00:37:16.000 They're still calling him a fascist.
00:37:18.000 They're still treating him as if he's some kind of tyrant, some kind of dictator.
00:37:21.000 And they will do anything and everything to stop that threat, even if it's completely delusional.
00:37:27.000 You have to remember that.
00:37:28.000 Yeah, sadly, I think you're right.
00:37:31.000 He was just recently asked whether he's going to pardon himself and his staff on the way out.
00:37:35.000 And he referenced the power of a presidential pardon.
00:37:39.000 And so I would expect that might be something we could see in the future.
00:37:43.000 Orrin McIntyre, good to see you, my friend.

00:38:56.000 What a huge day and weekend we had in Phoenix, Arizona.
00:39:00.000 We're going to be welcoming Colin Plume.
00:39:01.000 We're going to be shifting our focus a little bit to the economic questions that are swirling today in just a second.
00:39:07.000 But I want to give you guys an update here, really quick, in Arizona.
00:39:11.000 Okay.
00:39:12.000 Now, if you look at the traditional polling.
00:39:15.000 That comes out of a state like Arizona, they will tell you Andy Biggs has no chance.
00:39:20.000 The truth is much, much more, I would say, encouraging for us conservatives than that.
00:39:26.000 Her own internal polling, somebody like Katie Hobbs, she has the race at four points spread, which is within the margin of error.
00:39:34.000 And undecideds and late breakers are going two to one for Andy Biggs.
00:39:37.000 But even more than that, we just got a big new ballot drop, all from Maricopa County.
00:39:43.000 52,337 ballots came in.
00:39:47.000 It was Dems at 39.1% of those ballots and Republicans at 38.3% of those ballots.
00:39:55.000 Okay.
00:39:55.000 So overall, in the state of Arizona, I think we have this graphic.
00:39:59.000 We have 371,000 ballots in.
00:40:03.000 371,000 ballots in.
00:40:05.000 Democrats are at 40% even, and Republicans are at 37.7%.
00:40:11.000 Okay.
00:40:11.000 So what does that mean?
00:40:13.000 It means compared to this very day in 2022, We are doing 2.3% better, Republicans are, than we were in 2022.
00:40:23.000 This, okay, the sky is falling, chicken little, blue tsunami, all this stuff.
00:40:28.000 And yet, 2022 was supposed to be a red wave year.
00:40:32.000 Remember, it turned into a red trickle.
00:40:35.000 We are doing 2.3% better than we were in 22, and Democrats are doing 0.2% worse.
00:40:43.000 So I say this as an inspiration for you listening out there to get.
00:40:48.000 Off your couch and go chase some ballots.
00:40:50.000 You can get the Turning Point Action app on all the app stores, all the app marketplaces.
00:40:56.000 And you can, wherever you're at right now, contact voters.
00:40:59.000 You can contact voters in your neighborhood.
00:41:02.000 You can call them, text them, send them postcards.
00:41:04.000 Please be a part of this.
00:41:06.000 Blake and I, we did a Super Chase event this weekend with Andy Biggs.
00:41:09.000 We went out and knocked doors.
00:41:10.000 I went out with Ryan.
00:41:12.000 It was fantastic.
00:41:13.000 Got to meet the voters, just door knocking, just old school stuff.
00:41:16.000 That's how we spent our Saturday.
00:41:17.000 So please be inspired.
00:41:19.000 Please be encouraged.
00:41:20.000 We can do this.
00:41:21.000 It takes showing up.
00:41:22.000 All right.
00:41:23.000 Enjoy our commit 100.
00:41:24.000 Commit to chasing 100 ballots with us.
00:41:27.000 Go to tpaction.comslash 100.
00:41:29.000 Okay.
00:41:30.000 Just wanted to give you a quick little electoral update.
00:41:33.000 Joining us now is Colin Plume.
00:41:35.000 He's the CEO and founder of Noble Gold Investments.
00:41:38.000 But more than that, he's just a guru when it comes to all things macroeconomics and really dissecting all the evidence that is out there.
00:41:47.000 Colin, welcome back to the show, my friend.
00:41:48.000 Good to see you.
00:41:49.000 Yeah.
00:41:50.000 Good to see you guys too.
00:41:51.000 Thanks for having me.
00:41:52.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:41:53.000 And usually you come in person, and I was like, no, no, no, Colin.
00:41:57.000 You don't have to fly to Phoenix, but I respect that you like to hang out with us so much.
00:42:02.000 But I'm glad you're.
00:42:04.000 We need you there doing the hard work, my friend.
00:42:07.000 All right.
00:42:07.000 So here's the question CPI came in a little hotter than expected, 3.7%.
00:42:14.000 We have big questions about whether the Fed is going to raise interest rates again.
00:42:18.000 So, how does the higher for longer rate environment, meaning that we kept hoping that rates were going to come down, but they're remaining higher for a longer period than we anticipated?
00:42:29.000 How does that affect the case for physical gold and silver, inflation hedges, things like that?
00:42:33.000 How are you thinking about it?
00:42:35.000 Well, I would just say that 3.7% inflation is a far cry from the 2% mandate that they're trying to get to.
00:42:43.000 So that's the first thing.
00:42:44.000 Also, it went up 0.6% in one month.
00:42:49.000 0.6% in one month is actually a massive jump.
00:42:52.000 If we have 0.6% happen for the rest of the year, that means by Christmas, inflation will be 5%.
00:43:00.000 So they do a funny thing with the math.
00:43:03.000 They do these little 0.6%, so it doesn't seem like a lot, but that's just the one month.
00:43:06.000 If that continues, If that continued for a whole year, we'd be above 7% inflation.
00:43:14.000 So, this is alarming.
00:43:17.000 If you look at PolyMarket in different places, the likelihood of a raise jumped from like 20% to in the mid 40% range that they could potentially raise interest rates.
00:43:30.000 So, it is going to affect inflation, it is around.
00:43:34.000 And unfortunately, what the Fed's done, raising their rate to 4%.
00:43:40.000 With inflation at 3.7%, it's like you're running on a treadmill and you're staying in the same place.
00:43:46.000 They're not really doing anything.
00:43:49.000 And the real rate on your cash in the bank account is basically zero, if that makes sense.
00:43:56.000 So basically, the returns you're getting in a bank account or even in bonds, maybe it's a little bit higher.
00:44:03.000 I don't know if anybody would want to tie their money up in a 10 year bond because typically those don't do very well long term.
00:44:11.000 The little bit that they've raised, it's not really helping people day to day.
00:44:16.000 And the last time we saw inflation go crazy was 2022.
00:44:20.000 It got up to 9%.
00:44:22.000 And gold and silver went sideways for a little bit.
00:44:25.000 But as soon as things leveled off, that's when we went on this historic run in gold.
00:44:33.000 And gold was sitting in the low 2000s.
00:44:36.000 And then it rose all the way up to $5,600 an ounce.
00:44:39.000 So the CPI increase is actually a bigger number.
00:44:43.000 It's just when they do 0.6, it doesn't seem like a big number, if that makes sense.
00:44:47.000 Yeah.
00:44:48.000 And obviously, a lot of this is being driven by the energy markets, right?
00:44:52.000 The spikes, the Middle East conflict, all of that stuff is really feeding into this inflation.
00:44:57.000 And we're seeing it now in the CPI, 3.7.
00:44:59.000 And as you mentioned, 0.6% is a huge month to month increase.
00:45:04.000 Huge.
00:45:05.000 And we don't want that.
00:45:06.000 I believe it's temporary.
00:45:08.000 But explain that part of it.
00:45:10.000 So, do you think it's going to be temporary or do you see it?
00:45:14.000 This higher for longer thing.
00:45:15.000 I mean, Blake's a believer that rates are going to stay high for a long time.
00:45:19.000 I mean, that's you've been consistent on that.
00:45:21.000 I just, you look at other countries and they're not changing behavior that causes them to go up long term.
00:45:26.000 Yeah, that's the thing.
00:45:27.000 So I guess, you know, I'll let you answer that first, Colin. 0.62
00:45:31.000 Yeah, I mean, it's like the Middle East lights the match, but Washington built the wood, the wood pile, right? 0.61
00:45:39.000 Like, it's, it's, you're going to see these spikes continue to happen.
00:45:44.000 But yeah, gasoline was a big, big part of this story.
00:45:47.000 It did more than half the work in September.
00:45:50.000 Energy costs are up 20%, 20.4% this year.
00:45:55.000 So it's a massive part of the story.
00:45:59.000 I tend to believe with what Blake is saying.
00:46:01.000 I don't think that there's any way that they're going to be able to not increase rates.
00:46:07.000 And I think inflation is going to continue to go higher.
00:46:12.000 I think we need to get used to this.
00:46:14.000 These are the numbers.
00:46:15.000 And so, what do you do to protect yourself against these things?
00:46:20.000 And obviously, the bond market.
00:46:22.000 Continues to go higher, which is telling you a few things.
00:46:25.000 One, bond buyers think inflation is going higher because if they didn't think inflation was going higher, they would gobble up the bonds in the low fives.
00:46:34.000 They must believe that inflation is going to continue to skyrocket.
00:46:37.000 And let's, like, we've had inflation in the double digits in this country.
00:46:42.000 I know it was in the 1980s and people don't believe that, but like, it can happen again.
00:46:47.000 If you look at all the government spending that we've done and all the debt we've accumulated since really the early 2000s, We have created more debt that will allow us to have tremendous inflation and dollar devaluation.
00:47:01.000 So, I tend to agree.
00:47:04.000 I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon.
00:47:07.000 And I think the Fed's hands are really going to be tied.
00:47:09.000 I don't think they're going to do anything in the next meeting, but I believe before the end of the year, they're going to raise rates again, which is they don't want to do it.
00:47:18.000 They know it's not good for us because raising rates costs us more money on our debt.
00:47:24.000 Like, if we're at $2 trillion in interest payments, As we raise rates, it costs us more money because we're borrowing against ourselves.
00:47:31.000 And I know that's a weird concept that raising rates costs us more money, but that's actually what happens.
00:47:40.000 It costs us more.
00:47:41.000 So it's not good overall.
00:47:42.000 It's not good for us.
00:47:43.000 And it definitely leads into some assets are going to feel the effect of this increase in our debt and the cost.
00:47:53.000 And I think we're going to see a pretty massive correction in the equity markets because of it.
00:47:59.000 Wow.
00:47:59.000 Well, that's a big prediction right there at the end.
00:48:02.000 Right there at the end of the sentence, you just dropped that by.
00:48:04.000 I just love this lingo.
00:48:05.000 A pretty big correction in the equity markets.
00:48:07.000 The stock market will go down.
00:48:09.000 Yes, exactly.
00:48:10.000 I mean, I don't see how it won't.
00:48:13.000 I mean, if you look at the companies that are there and you look at the debt behind those companies that are there, and the AI boom.
00:48:20.000 We didn't prep for this, but circular financing is another big thing with this whole AI boom.
00:48:24.000 You got the folks buying their customer stocks and circular, circular.
00:48:30.000 Colin, I think people are very unclear about the relationship between interest rates and the bond yield and the price of gold and silver and precious metals.
00:48:37.000 Like, do they work, you know, opposite of one another?
00:48:42.000 Are they going different directions or is there a lag?
00:48:43.000 You kind of touched on this before, but let me just set this up again.
00:48:47.000 So, we got $2 trillion deficits, debt around $40 trillion all in, and now the 10 year yields are up around 5%.
00:48:55.000 Does this strengthen like a multi year case for gold and silver or does it weaken it, right?
00:49:01.000 What does that do to the yields when it comes to gold?
00:49:03.000 What's your prediction on that?
00:49:05.000 Well, you know, the one argument against gold is obviously it doesn't pay a yield, right?
00:49:10.000 It's you're buying a physical investment.
00:49:12.000 So some people would say, you know, these bond yields being higher, maybe I should take advantage of that.
00:49:18.000 But if you go back any time over the last hundred years, bonds have never outperformed gold.
00:49:26.000 So, you know, as much as these yields and they do pay a return, they are higher than before.
00:49:34.000 I don't think we're seeing a lot of people going in and buying a 10 year bond.
00:49:38.000 And for a number of reasons, even though maybe that Return is higher, you're locked in for 10 years, right?
00:49:44.000 You buy a 10 year bond, or if you buy a 30 year bond, you got to keep the money in there.
00:49:47.000 If you don't keep the money in there and you sell early, you won't get that return, depending on where the market is at that time.
00:49:53.000 So I think that, you know, looking at them, you know, everything is competing against different investments out there.
00:50:00.000 I look at, you know, what's on sale.
00:50:03.000 I think about Black Friday.
00:50:05.000 I think about deals.
00:50:06.000 Like everybody loves deals, right?
00:50:07.000 Buying things in a deal.
00:50:09.000 And I look at gold and I say, like, Gold is the biggest deal in the market right now.
00:50:14.000 It's 25% lower, 26% lower than where it was in January.
00:50:20.000 So at the end of the day, it's all about return.
00:50:23.000 So, yes, the bond's paying 5%, but if gold returns 8%, 9%, 10% over a five or 10 year period, it will outpace that.
00:50:34.000 And that's why you're still seeing central banks who don't typically like panic buy or panic sell.
00:50:41.000 They're not diving into U.S. bonds.
00:50:44.000 They're not diving.
00:50:44.000 And that's part of the reason the returns on bonds are going up is because so many central banks are selling their bonds.
00:50:51.000 They're getting away from U.S. bonds.
00:50:53.000 And so they're buying.
00:50:56.000 Tons and tons of gold, and they continue to buy it.
00:51:00.000 China has bought gold for 23 consecutive months.
00:51:04.000 They bought gold last year.
00:51:06.000 They bought gold substantially higher than where the price of it is today, and they continue to buy it.
00:51:13.000 So I look at, you know, everybody loves a deal.
00:51:16.000 Everybody, you know, everyone's waiting for these Black Friday deals that are coming.
00:51:19.000 They're going to buy their computer and their TV.
00:51:22.000 But I look at investment deals, and I think gold's just an amazing deal right now.
00:51:27.000 It's just an amazing opportunity to buy it at this discount.
00:51:30.000 Yeah, I think that's super compelling.
00:51:33.000 But you're kind of like also the silver guy.
00:51:35.000 I mean, you were early on silver.
00:51:37.000 So, what do you think about the mix between silver and gold, that ratio that people should be looking at?
00:51:43.000 Yeah, so we talked about this.
00:51:46.000 Silver was at a 100 to 1 ratio last year.
00:51:49.000 There is never a time you don't want to buy silver when it's at 100 to 1.
00:51:52.000 It's the best ratio.
00:51:53.000 And if you go back the last 100 years of trading, it will always correct back.
00:51:59.000 So, it did.
00:52:00.000 It's about 60 to 1 now.
00:52:01.000 So, it's changed.
00:52:02.000 So, silver is below $60 an ounce.
00:52:05.000 And why is that compelling?
00:52:07.000 I wrote about it in my book, Silver is a New Oil, but there is just a massive need for silver.
00:52:13.000 There's the sixth year in a row of industrial demand has not been kept up by how much silver there is above ground.
00:52:19.000 So there is a deficit of silver every single year.
00:52:24.000 AI is going to play a massive part of that.
00:52:27.000 If you, everyone believes AI is going to play a part in what's happening in the future, it's kind of the new industrial revolution.
00:52:33.000 Everything's changing how we operate business and how we do things.
00:52:37.000 Silver is.
00:52:38.000 A huge part of that, and we're going to continue to need to get more silver.
00:52:42.000 So, silver was at $120 an ounce, now it's at $56 an ounce.
00:52:48.000 So, there's a lot of compelling reasons.
00:52:49.000 Now, the thing about silver that's different than gold gold is more flat, it kind of goes in a different direction in terms of growth.
00:52:56.000 It's kind of like a stair step.
00:52:58.000 Silver today is more volatile.
00:53:00.000 So, if you're looking for something that has that huge potential swing, silver is really that metal.
00:53:07.000 Gold is more of the steady metal, and that's why a lot of our clients.
00:53:11.000 Will typically do a mix of gold and a mix of silver, and they'll buy you know what we do is we bullion, right?
00:53:17.000 These are bullion coins.
00:53:19.000 I got a hundred ounce silver, this is pretty heavy.
00:53:21.000 This is a hundred ounces of silver.
00:53:23.000 We sold a ton of these.
00:53:25.000 This is really, I think, a great way to store it, easy to put in a safe.
00:53:30.000 You know, you get away from all the numismatic value having it in a bar.
00:53:34.000 So, this is the stuff that our clients are buying, and we're shipping it to people's doorsteps.
00:53:39.000 And obviously, we can do IRAs, but both of these metals are on a pretty Significant discount from where they were earlier this year.
00:53:47.000 So, you mentioned that the central banks are still buying like a ton of gold, ETFs, all this stuff.
00:53:53.000 They keep buying gold, they keep buying silver.
00:53:55.000 What about the retail clients?
00:53:56.000 Are you seeing retail clients pick that up, pick that trend up, and they're doing the same?
00:54:01.000 Or retail clients?
00:54:02.000 Retail buyers in the US are always last.
00:54:06.000 And it's so interesting.
00:54:07.000 So, retail buyers last year at second and third and fourth quarter started buying.
00:54:14.000 First quarter this year, they're buying.
00:54:16.000 Now they're selling.
00:54:17.000 So, they're actually, unfortunately, our retail buyers here in the US are going the opposite.
00:54:23.000 And Blake, you probably understand the psychology of investing.
00:54:27.000 Like, it probably doesn't shock you.
00:54:29.000 Like, people sell at the wrong time.
00:54:33.000 They don't sell at the peak, they're buying at the peak.
00:54:36.000 And so, unfortunately, the US retail market is typically late.
00:54:41.000 You know, they weren't buying in 2023, they were buying in 2024, 25.
00:54:46.000 They jumped in last, you know, end of 25, they were buying.
00:54:50.000 And then, um, I want to make sure people know where to find you.
00:54:55.000 So it's Noble Gold Investments slash Kirk, Noble Gold Investments dot com slash Kirk.
00:55:01.000 Check out Colin and his work.
00:55:03.000 His team's doing great work and you can trust him.
00:55:06.000 They know this inside and out.
00:55:09.000 You can tell this by the way he talks about this topic.
00:55:11.000 Colin, God bless you, my friend.
00:55:12.000 It's too quick.
00:55:13.000 You could have kept going.
00:55:14.000 Noble Gold Investments dot com slash Kirk.
00:55:17.000 Check it out, Colin and the team today.
00:55:21.000 I talk about jobs and industries on this show.
00:55:23.000 All the time, but I didn't expect to find an entire skills trade community on TikTok plumbers, electrician, builders, and contractors sharing the work they do every day.
00:55:33.000 And it went way beyond tips and tricks.
00:55:36.000 People were sharing their craft, connecting with local contractors, and talking about how they were building their businesses and growing their teams.
00:55:43.000 It opened my eyes to how people in the trades are using TikTok to share their skills, make connections, and find new opportunities.
00:55:49.000 I remember thinking, this is exactly what we need more of people sharing what they know and creating opportunities for others.
00:55:55.000 And I never expected to find a community like this.
00:55:57.000 That's the thing about TikTok.
00:55:59.000 You start with something you know, and suddenly you're finding a whole new side of it that surprises you and leaves you wanting to know more.
00:56:05.000 Your next discovery is waiting for you on TikTok.
00:56:08.000 Learn more at TikTok.comslash discover more.
00:56:14.000 But we're going to turn our attention to Europe.
00:56:16.000 We actually are having a big sort of influencer event here on campus.
00:56:20.000 Blake's going to be speaking at it in just a little while.
00:56:22.000 I'm going to be talking with them or do a QA.
00:56:25.000 And we have one of them that we have never introduced you to, and I'm excited to do so now.
00:56:30.000 Lorenzo.
00:56:31.000 Caccialuppi.
00:56:33.000 Lorenzo, nice to meet you.
00:56:34.000 Nice to meet you, Lorenzo.
00:56:35.000 We figured you would be the exact right person to bring on today because we're talking about France.
00:56:39.000 And Italy is a country next to France.
00:56:41.000 And Italy is right next door.
00:56:43.000 And lo and behold, the socialists and the Antifa types have now taken this protest movement into Milan.
00:56:51.000 And I can only imagine that's just the start.
00:56:52.000 Now, you are from Rome, but what, as a proud Italian, what are you looking at?
00:56:59.000 What are you hearing on the ground?
00:57:00.000 What are your friends and family saying back in Italy?
00:57:03.000 Are they worried about this?
00:57:05.000 People are getting worried, and they're of course right to be worried right now.
00:57:10.000 What is happening is very simple. 1.00
00:57:12.000 Second, third generation migrants, together with communists, are destroying our entire nation. 1.00
00:57:19.000 What started in France that didn't start last week, it started maybe 10 years ago when we started welcoming waves of illegal, uncontrolled migration coming mainly from Muslim countries that hate us, are destroying the country. 1.00
00:57:34.000 And what we have seen in France is that it's just The beginning we have seen in Milan, but we are seeing it in all the major cities. 0.99
00:57:43.000 Exactly, that's Milan.
00:57:44.000 We are seeing it in all the major cities in Italy.
00:57:48.000 They are looting stores, burning down stores, burning down cars.
00:57:53.000 They have injured hundreds and hundreds of police officers just for trying to stop them. 0.99
00:57:59.000 And they're even going after civilians because some civilians that are trying to oppose this madness are getting assaulted by these second, third generation migrants and communists that have one goal. 0.96
00:58:09.000 Destroy the West. 0.99
00:58:11.000 That's what they're doing.
00:58:12.000 And they're already organizing for next week.
00:58:15.000 There are chats of people saying, ah, let's meet here, let's loot this store.
00:58:19.000 People who have worked their entire life are having these lives of sacrifice destroyed in one hour.
00:58:27.000 How big is the problem in Italy?
00:58:30.000 You mentioned, because I've said a few times, there's a silly debate online.
00:58:36.000 Oh, it's not the migrants, it's the communists and the socialists. 0.58
00:58:39.000 Well, they all work together, right? 0.95
00:58:41.000 They're all in league together. 0.99
00:58:42.000 This migrant crisis situation with. 0.99
00:58:46.000 You know, you think Georgia Maloney is different than the rest of Europe, but really the problem is persistent, right?
00:58:52.000 What's the vibe with Georgia Maloney? 0.99
00:58:54.000 How is she doing? 1.00
00:58:55.000 How do you grade her work product?
00:58:59.000 How has the result been?
00:59:00.000 First of all, I've had the pleasure of meeting Georgia Maloney. 0.92
00:59:05.000 I like her political party.
00:59:06.000 The reason why we're not seeing as much as we would like to is that we have literally everybody against.
00:59:12.000 We have the European Union that is dictating our migration policy because.
00:59:19.000 People in the US do not know, but the European Union is basically the main cause of evil around Europe because if we were to decide to stop welcoming illegal migrants, we would be facing persecution from the EU and we would be facing sanctions.
00:59:33.000 Every European country is losing their sovereignty.
00:59:36.000 We are not able to see about our migration, we are not able to decide about our Green Deal, energy policy, about the farmers, about the currency.
00:59:45.000 Nothing, nothing, nothing.
00:59:46.000 And in addition, we have the problem with leftist judges that sometimes we have migrants who are being expelled.
00:59:53.000 From the country, and what do the judges do? 0.81
00:59:55.000 They rule that the expulsion was not legit and they bring them back. 0.99
01:00:00.000 That's what's happening.
01:00:01.000 Is there any energy for you say they'll sanction you or crack down on you to pick that fight, or alternatively to leave the European Union, or is there no enthusiasm for that yet?
01:00:13.000 I don't think it's even an option right now, but I can give you a tangible example.
01:00:18.000 All over Europe, we're having problems with mass migration, not in Poland. 0.79
01:00:24.000 There is the great Polish politician that I know very well, Dominik Tanczyski, recently gave an interview saying, If you come to this border, we're going to shoot you.
01:00:32.000 In Poland, they just passed a law where if you try to enter illegally, you can be shot.
01:00:37.000 And why?
01:00:37.000 Because they don't want terrorists infiltrating in their country.
01:00:40.000 But what's happening to Poland right now?
01:00:42.000 Since they're not welcoming the migrants and they're not respecting the EU policy about the migration pact, Poland is getting sanctioned every day for not wanting to welcome illegals.
01:00:54.000 And when people tell you illegal migrants are not a problem, why would you ever say that? 0.98
01:00:58.000 You are such a racist. 0.95
01:00:59.000 Let me give you some facts and then we will see if statistics are racist. 0.99
01:01:04.000 In Italy, we have around 300,000 illegal migrants in our territory.
01:01:09.000 In a population of 60 million, this is barely 0.5%.
01:01:14.000 And they alone are accountable for 30% of crimes in our country 0.5% of illegal migrants. 1.00
01:01:23.000 And when people tell you, hey, yes, but no, no, no, no, kick them out. 0.98
01:01:27.000 30% of crimes that's going to go down one day.
01:01:31.000 It just seems like, as you say, so if Poland's standing up to it, they're able to take the sanctions.
01:01:37.000 What needs to happen for this to actually come apart then, if they're not ready to stand up to the European Union yet?
01:01:43.000 Maybe, let's say in France, if Le Pen wins and then if we still have a conservative government in Italy, would that be enough that they could defy the European Union?
01:01:51.000 Or how do we get out of this death spiral before Italy ceases to exist?
01:01:55.000 It's very difficult and complicated, but we got out now.
01:01:58.000 If you're not going to act now, there will be no country left to defend.
01:02:03.000 And I always advocate for this, even here in the USA, where I have the opportunity to travel a lot throughout the years.
01:02:12.000 If you're not going to stop now, what's happening, you're going to cry in 20 years. 0.99
01:02:16.000 We are seeing a process of Islamization, of political Islam, coming and spreading like a virus around Europe. 0.99
01:02:23.000 In Italy, we just had our first Sharia law council approved. 1.00
01:02:26.000 Now we are going to have a Sharia law building that is going to judge. 0.59
01:02:30.000 So they're going to be the substitution of our Italian law. 0.95
01:02:33.000 And this is not only Italy, it's everywhere.
01:02:36.000 It's everywhere in Europe.
01:02:37.000 Jeez.
01:02:38.000 This is a crazy video that came out of some of the riots in Italy.
01:02:41.000 And I love this because there is this old school Italian mindset.
01:02:46.000 That this guy and you completely, I just think, embody. 0.97
01:02:50.000 165s, throw the B roll up. 0.73
01:02:52.000 So, this is a lone Italian man beating back all these migrants and these migrant children with nothing but a stick or like a baton or something. 0.84
01:03:03.000 Here he is. 0.97
01:03:04.000 They're looting everything.
01:03:05.000 Look at him.
01:03:05.000 He's all buff and ripped, and he's trying to grab him, and they're running from him.
01:03:09.000 And he ends up getting a couple of them here.
01:03:11.000 But this is like, I think, a beautiful example of a difference.
01:03:16.000 Between the meme in France, where the woman's like, I voted for you, I support you, don't loot my store, and they tell her to shut up.
01:03:22.000 This guy comes out with a stick. 0.93
01:03:24.000 This is the way you handle these miscreants.
01:03:26.000 Go ahead, Lorenzo.
01:03:27.000 That's what you've got to do.
01:03:28.000 That's what you're going to do.
01:03:29.000 The time of talking is coming to an end.
01:03:33.000 If the police is not able to do it, we've got to go out in the streets and protect our countries because they're destroying it.
01:03:40.000 They want to take it away.
01:03:42.000 They want it to sink together with us.
01:03:45.000 Is somebody like you in Italy, do they call you a racist?
01:03:48.000 Are you.
01:03:49.000 Like, what's the media environment, right?
01:03:51.000 Because they went after Georgia Maloney because she, like, the political heritage of that party was sort of linked to Mussolini or something in the past.
01:03:59.000 So they're trying to go after her, call her a fascist.
01:04:02.000 She's not, obviously.
01:04:04.000 But are they still doing that?
01:04:05.000 Is that still the playbook? 1.00
01:04:06.000 You're a fascist, you're a racist. 1.00
01:04:07.000 At the time, I'm a fascist, I'm a Nazi, I'm a racist, of course. 1.00
01:04:11.000 Of course. 0.87
01:04:11.000 And I'm also a servant of Israel, you know? 0.87
01:04:14.000 I'm a Nazi and a servant of Israel because I'm against Probal, you know?
01:04:18.000 That's how it works. 0.96
01:04:18.000 Because you're against what? 0.96
01:04:20.000 I'm against the propal movement destroying my country. 0.98
01:04:23.000 Every day there is a different occasion to go out in the street and protest for Palestine. 0.97
01:04:27.000 But where are the protests for the Christians being killed in Nigeria?
01:04:29.000 I've never seen them.
01:04:30.000 Why?
01:04:31.000 Because they do selective outrage, and this is criminal. 0.77
01:04:35.000 So, speaking of that, actually, this is a slight off topic, but I don't know when we'll have an Italian influencer on again.
01:04:41.000 How do the Italians feel about having an American Pope in Rome?
01:04:48.000 Whiplash? 1.00
01:04:48.000 Total whiplash, but we're talking about Christians, and I guess it. 1.00
01:04:51.000 Sounds like, how is that going? 1.00
01:04:54.000 Is there a noticeable change?
01:04:55.000 Do people complain about it, like it, get annoyed by it, or don't care?
01:04:59.000 So I would say mostly don't care.
01:05:01.000 Personally, I don't care where the Pope is from as long as he's good.
01:05:03.000 Now, I'm sorry, he recently had a surgery for the lung cancer.
01:05:08.000 Yeah, lung cancer.
01:05:09.000 I hope he's doing all right.
01:05:11.000 If I have to express my humble opinion, I'm not really a big fan of this Pope because of some position he has about political Islam, which I disagree. 0.96
01:05:19.000 I think he should be more harsh. 0.98
01:05:21.000 Well, and he spent America's 250th anniversary.
01:05:25.000 He went to that island that you guys get a lot of migrants on, I believe, Lampedusa, and he prayed for the migrants who died trying to cross the Mediterranean.
01:05:34.000 But I've got a question to ask Why don't you pray for all the victims killed by the same migrant that managed to cross the Mediterranean?
01:05:44.000 I just wish the Pope should look at that town hall burning in Limoges, France, and remember that they, or go look at the footage of Notre Dame burning a decade ago. 0.55
01:05:54.000 And just remember, there are a lot of people who would enthusiastically do that to St. Peter's Basilica and every other church in Italy.
01:06:01.000 So we only have a little bit of time here, Lorenzo, but you apparently got to ask Charlie a question.
01:06:06.000 The team is letting me know this, so I have to play this, and one of his prove me wrongs.
01:06:10.000 I'm studying abroad from Italy for this semester. 0.64
01:06:15.000 In Europe, we are having a big problem with illegal immigration. 0.99
01:06:19.000 People are coming, they don't respect our laws, that being a woman stabbing is dangerous to go around. 1.00
01:06:25.000 So I don't understand when people come here to talk to you, liberals, saying that they want to welcome them because you don't know who is entering your country. 0.94
01:06:34.000 Amen.
01:06:35.000 And I'll tell you, we need more legal immigrants like you in this country. 0.99
01:06:38.000 I'll tell you what.
01:06:39.000 And it makes me upset that for me, it's difficult.
01:06:42.000 I'm respecting the law.
01:06:43.000 I'm here if I.
01:06:44.000 I have to be here legally.
01:06:45.000 I'm gonna go back to Italy because I cannot work. 0.96
01:06:47.000 And it makes me upset seeing someone that comes here illegally and does whatever he wants. 1.00
01:06:51.000 That's it. 1.00
01:06:52.000 God bless you.
01:06:52.000 You want a hat?
01:06:53.000 If I can have a white one, because I already have a red.
01:06:55.000 A white one, alright.
01:06:56.000 Make Italy great again, okay? 0.93
01:06:58.000 Very cool.
01:06:58.000 I wish.
01:07:02.000 Okay.
01:07:08.000 That's awesome.
01:07:09.000 What a cool video.
01:07:10.000 What a cool memory for you.
01:07:13.000 It's an honor.
01:07:14.000 Yeah.
01:07:15.000 Charlie was the best.
01:07:16.000 And I'm glad you had that moment with him.
01:07:18.000 Lorenzo Caccialuppi, Italian influencer.
01:07:22.000 You can find him on Instagram at Caccialuppi underscore Lorenzo.
01:07:26.000 Caccialuppi underscore Lorenzo.
01:07:29.000 Great, man.
01:07:29.000 You are the spirit of Italy that we all love and that has made that country such a beautiful place.
01:07:35.000 So God bless you.
01:07:36.000 Hold the line.
01:07:36.000 Stay strong.
01:07:37.000 Thank you.
01:07:40.000 And we've got another influencer here.
01:07:42.000 Again, we're doing a big influencer event at HQ in Phoenix, Arizona.
01:07:47.000 By the way, we're at the Y Refi Studios in Phoenix, Arizona.
01:07:50.000 And now we have Gentry Jeevers.
01:07:52.000 Jeevers? 1.00
01:07:53.000 Jeevers.
01:07:54.000 I got it right the first time.
01:07:55.000 I follow him on X. I'm a big fan of your content.
01:07:59.000 And this is the first time I've got to meet you in person.
01:08:01.000 So it's great.
01:08:02.000 And he's much taller than I realized.
01:08:04.000 So, which is always a good thing.
01:08:06.000 You know, Charlie used to say there's like actual privilege in the world, it's like the way your name's spelled Charlie Kirk.
01:08:11.000 Yeah.
01:08:12.000 What a great name.
01:08:12.000 If you're going to be an influencer, Charlie Kirk, he's also, Charlie was also 6'5.
01:08:15.000 How tall are you?
01:08:17.000 6'4.
01:08:17.000 6'4.
01:08:18.000 All right.
01:08:18.000 All right.
01:08:19.000 Well, there you go.
01:08:20.000 So, Gentry, you are originally from Seattle.
01:08:23.000 Now you live in North Carolina, which is, there's a lot of doom and gloom about our politics right now.
01:08:28.000 And sadly, North Carolina is not looking like it's going to go our way, at least from early returns.
01:08:33.000 Maybe you can help with that.
01:08:34.000 But, but North Carolina is a beautiful state, but you kind of are the epicenter for a lot of like the collision of the woke. 1.00
01:08:41.000 Wokies and like poor policing. 0.99
01:08:43.000 This is obviously where we got Arena Zarutska. 1.00
01:08:45.000 That whole story.
01:08:47.000 And you are a story of a rural state that is very red mixed with like the research triangle and is very blue.
01:08:56.000 And you get a lot of the worst ideas in North Carolina.
01:08:58.000 So that probably informs a lot of your politics these days, I'm assuming.
01:09:01.000 Because you see this collision of the ideas right on your home turf.
01:09:07.000 Yes, in a way.
01:09:08.000 I'm very grateful to live in Charlotte because.
01:09:12.000 Growing up in Seattle, it's this like crazy liberal hellhole, if I can say that.
01:09:18.000 No, it is. 0.94
01:09:19.000 Socialist mayor.
01:09:21.000 I think she's worse than Mamdani.
01:09:23.000 But I came to Charlotte a few years ago and I love it. 0.97
01:09:29.000 Yeah.
01:09:30.000 It's still more liberal than I would want it to be.
01:09:33.000 Right.
01:09:33.000 But I like it's like a 50% off discount on life, really.
01:09:40.000 And the weather's solid.
01:09:42.000 Weather's solid.
01:09:42.000 People are great.
01:09:43.000 People are the sweetest people.
01:09:45.000 But.
01:09:46.000 You do have woke government too at the same time, crime policy specifically.
01:09:52.000 Well, it's really that they're not following the law.
01:09:55.000 And I've been talking to judges in Charlotte, some of the good ones, and we've been trying to figure out a way to actually get these judges to adhere to the law.
01:10:06.000 One of the solutions I have is potentially getting a law passed that says that if a judge lets a criminal out, they could be liable for the crimes that they commit.
01:10:17.000 So either a fine or whatever kind of punishment.
01:10:21.000 It's kind of in line with bartenders.
01:10:26.000 If they over serve, they're liable for that.
01:10:29.000 So it's the same line of thinking.
01:10:31.000 I don't think it'll ever get passed, but I think that we should definitely push that because it'll put them on notice.
01:10:39.000 I can't prove this, but a lot of them potentially are funded by nefarious sources, Soros, et cetera.
01:10:46.000 It really is outrageous every time.
01:10:47.000 And we see this, there's probably a story about this every couple of weeks where.
01:10:52.000 It's one thing if someone just commits a murder out of the blue, but we have a very large percentage of our crimes are by people who are just known to police.
01:10:59.000 They are nuisance criminals.
01:11:00.000 And for whatever reason, it's considered good left wing governance to not permanently lock those people up.
01:11:05.000 Yeah.
01:11:06.000 And they'll say they can't, they're incompetent to stand trial, but they're apparently competent to roam around the street with and murder people. 0.96
01:11:13.000 And murder people. 0.96
01:11:13.000 Yeah. 0.96
01:11:14.000 So you tweeted out, and I love this tweet, that it is un American to give up hope.
01:11:18.000 Obviously, you are in the influencer space, the content creator space, and there is a doomerism that is set in with a certain contingent on the online right, at least formally right.
01:11:28.000 Now, a lot of them are voting for Democrats.
01:11:30.000 I don't even know if we can call them on the right anymore.
01:11:33.000 How are you interpreting this moment?
01:11:34.000 And, like, how are you addressing it?
01:11:36.000 What do you hope to kind of?
01:11:38.000 Inject into the zeitgeist?
01:11:40.000 Well, my understanding of how America was founded is it was founded on this idea of hope for a better life, right?
01:11:47.000 The Pilgrims came over to practice their religion, you know, faith the way that they saw fit because Henry was, you know, doing a terrible job at it.
01:11:59.000 And then it evolved from there.
01:12:00.000 The American Revolution, I mean, in a lot of ways, we didn't really have a lot of hope because we were just farmers and other types of people.
01:12:08.000 Going up against the greatest empire, the most powerful empire.
01:12:11.000 In the history of the world at that point.
01:12:12.000 Exactly.
01:12:13.000 And so if you look back, if they gave up hope, it's basically like a self fulfilling prophecy that you can't do it.
01:12:21.000 The famous Henry Ford quote is if you think you can or you can't, you're right.
01:12:27.000 And so you're giving up hope.
01:12:29.000 And I think that it's so short sighted to look at midterms and say, oh, all hope is lost because Trump invaded Iran. 0.81
01:12:38.000 It's kind of dumb because if you look back to 24, only two years ago, we won the popular vote. 0.92
01:12:43.000 Like, there's so many people that are done with the Democrats. 0.95
01:12:48.000 They may not be sold on Republicans, but they're done with this.
01:12:52.000 This is a key insight, actually.
01:12:54.000 You saw the new Pew poll that had it was like 52% of young people are going to be voting for Democrats.
01:12:59.000 Only 23% are committing to say that they're going to vote for the Republicans.
01:13:02.000 The key insight of that Pew poll is that a quarter of those polled, young people, 18 to 29, are undecided.
01:13:11.000 They're not saying who they're going to vote for, right?
01:13:13.000 Which to me says.
01:13:15.000 If you're worried they're not going to vote Republican, okay, fine.
01:13:17.000 But they're not rushing to endorse DSA.
01:13:20.000 It's not the Obama era anymore.
01:13:22.000 In the Obama era, there was a lot of hope and change, as we called it.
01:13:26.000 They got really committed.
01:13:27.000 They really believed it.
01:13:28.000 These days, there's a lot more jadedness, nihilism, people checked out.
01:13:33.000 And that's why there's a void to which leadership can be poured into.
01:13:37.000 And it can be good leadership or it can be very bad and destructive leadership.
01:13:41.000 And this is what I say they're not crying out for more DSA, at least the vast majority of them are not.
01:13:46.000 They're not crying out for less conservatism.
01:13:48.000 They're crying for results.
01:13:49.000 They're crying for a change to the status quo.
01:13:52.000 They want to see real change.
01:13:54.000 And that's, I think, why a lot of them ultimately went and voted for President Trump.
01:13:58.000 And whether they're frustrated about Iran or they're frustrated about Epstein, whatever, what is your message to those people that are feeling jaded, cynical, nihilistic?
01:14:07.000 Well, this isn't the politics of 20, 30 years ago.
01:14:11.000 Both parties aren't pro America, right?
01:14:14.000 The Republicans definitely are.
01:14:16.000 Democrats are not.
01:14:17.000 I think the latest polling is like 65% of the Democrat base.
01:14:22.000 Is for socialism, right?
01:14:24.000 The DSA has fully taken over the party.
01:14:27.000 There was a thing in Congress, and the majority of Democrats couldn't sign it to say that we're capitalists.
01:14:35.000 Socialism has never, ever worked.
01:14:38.000 I mean, if you study history at all, you can just see that.
01:14:40.000 And I don't want this country to go into that hellhole of communism, socialism, because frankly, and this is really selfish, I have a daughter, and I don't want her to grow up in a country that.
01:14:56.000 That is socialist.
01:14:56.000 I want her to grow up in a country that she can be proud of and that she has the same opportunities.
01:15:01.000 Prosperous.
01:15:02.000 I mean, if you don't have economic freedom, you don't have any freedom.
01:15:05.000 It's as simple as that.
01:15:06.000 It is the most foundational.
01:15:08.000 The right to property is the most foundational sort of liberal Western value of all.
01:15:13.000 Gentry, where can people follow you, follow your work, your content?

01:15:34.000 Let's get our senator over there. 1.00
01:15:36.000 Let's defy the U.S.
01:15:37.000 I would love that.
01:15:38.000 Love that.
01:15:39.000 Hey, we're not giving up on anything.
01:15:40.000 The future is unwritten, and we just have to show up to the polls, go vote, and you be the arbiter of what comes next.
