00:00:26.000 Hey everybody, welcome to this episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:00:29.000 This is Andrew Colvett filling in one final time for the one and only Charlie Kirk.

00:00:33.000 He'll be back tomorrow, so don't go anywhere.

00:00:35.000 But in the meantime, we got to talk about critical race theory.

00:00:39.000 We got to talk about Space Force.

00:00:40.000 There's a lieutenant colonel who's getting fired for speaking his mind.

00:00:44.000 Is he in the wrong?

00:00:44.000 Is he right?

00:00:45.000 I have a unique take I think you're going to be interested in.

00:00:48.000 Meanwhile, we got an update on the Arizona audit.

00:00:51.000 Everything you need to know.

00:00:52.000 We're keeping you up to speed.

00:00:54.000 You're not going to want to miss this episode.

00:00:55.000 We cover a lot.

00:00:56.000 Buckle up.

00:00:57.000 Here we go.

00:00:58.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:01:00.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:01:02.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:01:06.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:09.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:10.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:11.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:18.000 Turning point USA.

00:01:19.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:28.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:31.000 There's a lot of chaos going on, a lot of gaslighting going on.

00:01:35.000 The left likes to use that term, but no, no.

00:01:37.000 It's our term against them.

00:01:38.000 They're lying to you all the time. 1.00

00:01:40.000 We have proof in the Middle East.

00:01:42.000 We have all of this going off in Israel and Gaza.

00:01:47.000 And AP's been called out.

00:01:49.000 CNN's been called out.

00:01:50.000 They're all getting called out because guess what?

00:01:52.000 They've been lying to you.

00:01:53.000 They've been creating a simulation and we are all just living in it.

00:01:56.000 And we're like, we're snapping out of it.

00:01:58.000 This is ultimately the greatest gift that President Trump gave the world.

00:02:02.000 All right.

00:02:02.000 Whether he becomes president again in 2024 or he just becomes the GOP kingmaker, which he already is.

00:02:08.000 The truth of the matter is that he woke us all up from a deep slumber that started somewhere around the 90s and they just kept thinking the good times were always going to start keep rolling.

00:02:19.000 And President Trump came along after bungling mismanagement by our government and said, hey, everybody, it doesn't have to be this way.

00:02:28.000 And we're just finally waking up to it.

00:02:32.000 Folks, one of those ways that we have been completely lied to is in the era of immigration.

00:02:38.000 And there was a stunning report from the New York Times.

00:02:41.000 I read the New York Times, so you don't have to.

00:02:43.000 I think it's interesting.

00:02:44.000 Gets us out of our own bubble.

00:02:47.000 You're going to hear about it here, but we're going to break it down in a way that makes sense of it.

00:02:52.000 So here's the headline.

00:02:54.000 From India, Brazil, and beyond, pandemic refugees, interesting branding there, if you didn't catch that, at the border, fleeing virus-devastated economies, migrants are traveling long distances to reach the United States and then walking through gaps in the border wall. 0.94

00:03:11.000 The Arizona desert has become a favorite crossing point. 0.96

00:03:14.000 Now, this show is largely based in Phoenix, Arizona, holding it down in the southwest.

00:03:21.000 I am personally based in California, although we travel so much for this job, it feels like we live sort of everywhere half the time.

00:03:30.000 So this is how the reporting starts.

00:03:33.000 Standing by the hulking border wall, a U.S. Border Patrol agent watched as a car dropped off passengers at the edge of a road on the Mexican side.

00:03:43.000 Oh no, he muttered.

00:03:45.000 Here come some more.

00:03:47.000 In the next hours, dozens of people would descend a bare hellock, pass a puddle where the Colorado River trickles, and without fanfare, pass through a gap in the Rust Beam barrier that soars between the United States and Mexico.

00:04:00.000 They had completed the final leg of journeys that begun weeks or months earlier in Brazil, Cuba, India, and Venezuela. 0.89

00:04:08.000 So these migrants are coming from, and really they're illegal immigrants. 0.51

00:04:12.000 Let's just be honest.

00:04:13.000 They're emboldened by the Biden administration to make journeys all this way from far-flung reaches of the globe because they know that when they get in here, we're going to accept them.

00:04:25.000 Now, this problem is only growing.

00:04:30.000 This is just a new little wrinkle in it of a story that we've covered here extensively on the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:04:35.000 And frankly, we get sick of covering it because it's the same old story every day.

00:04:39.000 It's like, well, people are streaming in illegally at the southern border, and Joe Biden and his administration refused to call it a crisis.

00:04:45.000 Okay, next story.

00:04:47.000 What else don't we know?

00:04:48.000 When you incentivize poor behavior, guess what you're going to get?

00:04:51.000 You're going to get a lot of that poor behavior.

00:04:52.000 You're going to get more of that poor behavior.

00:04:54.000 And that's what we have at our southern border.

00:04:56.000 President Trump rightly condemned it.

00:04:59.000 He stood up against it.

00:05:00.000 He talked tough, and people thought he was mean.

00:05:02.000 And they condemned him as a member of the 1930 National Socialist Workers' Party in Germany because of it.

00:05:11.000 But guess what?

00:05:12.000 Crossings went down.

00:05:13.000 Yes, we were aided in 2020 by a pandemic where people stopped traveling from all over the world, right?

00:05:20.000 But it was largely controlled, and people knew that if they were going to attempt to cross, that the border patrol was serious, they meant business, and then you were going to probably stay on the Mexico side of the border with the MPP, Remain in Mexico policy that Joe Biden and his administration scrapped because it made far too much sense.

00:05:41.000 So they couldn't have something that made that much sense stand because Orange Man bad and we must overturn it.

00:05:47.000 So in April alone, 178,622 people were encountered by Border Patrol.

00:05:52.000 That's the highest number in 20 years, by the way.

00:05:58.000 And yes, most of them are from the Northern Triangle, Central America.

00:06:01.000 They say they're fleeing gang violence and natural disasters. 1.00

00:06:04.000 Now, folks, this is true.

00:06:06.000 None of it's made up. 0.99

00:06:10.000 I think these migrants, these illegal immigrants, they know that they're going to, in order to game the system, they have to gin up sympathy in the American public. 0.77

00:06:17.000 So they tell these stories. 1.00

00:06:18.000 They're coached on how to cross the border.

00:06:21.000 But yes, gang violence is real.

00:06:22.000 I mean, I live in California. 0.99

00:06:24.000 I talk to Hispanic immigrants, many of them illegal, some of them legal.

00:06:28.000 And they tell me, I mean, listen, the stories are harrowing.

00:06:31.000 I feel for them on a personal level.

00:06:33.000 But there's one thing to feel bad for an immigrant on a personal level.

00:06:36.000 It's quite another thing to feel like you want your whole country to be gamed and taken advantage of by people who know that you're going to be soft on immigration.

00:06:44.000 But the past few months, and this is where the wrinkle comes in, we've been hearing reports in India that there's this strain and that people are dying and dead bodies are floating down rivers and the government is grappling with how to get control of this.

00:06:57.000 There was just a new story that just broke a few minutes ago where I saw it was the Biden administration is going to be sending 20 million doses of the vaccine abroad to different countries that need it, partly because a lot of folks in our own country refused to take it.

00:07:10.000 We can get into that in just a little while.

00:07:13.000 But now they're saying that there is 30% of all families encountered along the border in April hailed from countries other than Mexico and Central America.

00:07:26.000 That's compared to just 7.5% in April of 2019.

00:07:29.000 But to be perfectly honest, I didn't even know it was 7.5% in April 2019.

00:07:32.000 We've heard rumors that there was terrorists trying to cross the border, and we were always told that we were making much ado about nothing and that we were trying to weaponize the plight of these poor migrants. 0.79

00:07:44.000 They're illegal immigrants, folks.

00:07:46.000 Don't let them change the language. 1.00

00:07:47.000 Don't let them play that game with you. 1.00

00:07:49.000 They're illegals, illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:07:52.000 You want to come into this country, you do it legally. 1.00

00:07:55.000 My personal opinion that we should have far fewer legal immigrants, but I digress. 1.00

00:08:01.000 But if you're not coming legally, you're doing it illegally.

00:08:06.000 So agents have stopped people from more than 160 countries.

00:08:15.000 And according to this report from the New York Times, the geography coincides with the path of the virus's worst devastation.

00:08:21.000 Okay.

00:08:22.000 So 4,000 Brazilians were intercepted.

00:08:27.000 4,000 Brazilians. 0.99

00:08:29.000 It's incredible.

00:08:30.000 3,500 Venezuelans.

00:08:33.000 And this was up from 300 in January.

00:08:40.000 And people are expecting this number to only go up.

00:08:44.000 So this is actually really interesting.

00:08:46.000 So if you're coming from India, you're probably elsewhere in Asia that's getting hit hard.

00:08:52.000 The journey to get to the United States is harrowing.

00:08:56.000 It's really not easy to get here.

00:08:57.000 You almost have to say, these people are incredibly motivated.

00:09:00.000 Hat tip to you for gaming the system.

00:09:02.000 It's really on us for allowing it to be gamed.

00:09:06.000 But these people are taking, so they leave, they take a bus out of their hometown to a big city.

00:09:11.000 They go to somewhere like Mumbai.

00:09:14.000 They board a plane to Dubai. 0.92

00:09:16.000 And then they fly to Moscow because they'll let them in. 0.87

00:09:19.000 And then from Moscow, it's sort of like the bridge to the Western worlds. 0.67

00:09:23.000 Then you'll fly to Madrid.

00:09:24.000 And then from Madrid, you'll fly to Mexico City.

00:09:26.000 Then you'll take a two-day bus trip up to the border.

00:09:29.000 Find a place where the gap exists in the wall, and you'll walk across it.

00:09:35.000 I mean, that's a heck of a journey to go on.

00:09:40.000 So the asylum law grants protection to those suffering persecution on account of their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.

00:09:53.000 So this creates a whole different challenge of how do you deal with these people?

00:09:57.000 Do you just fly them back to Mumbai when they're claiming that their country's been devastated by the pandemic?

00:10:04.000 Well, of course not.

00:10:05.000 Joe Biden's a nice guy.

00:10:06.000 He's not going to hurt any of these people.

00:10:08.000 He's not a mean tweeter.

00:10:11.000 So Joe Biden, there's another report that just said that he sent $2 billion that was supposed to be used against the coronavirus.

00:10:19.000 $2 billion is now being shuffled around in an accounting to handle the surge in migrants and to move people to different facilities, apparently.

00:10:31.000 Lord knows it's not being used for securing the actual border.

00:10:35.000 It's just being used to deal with all the people that are coming across these gaping holes in the border wall.

00:10:42.000 Did you know that over 80% of the population is deficient in magnesium, and magnesium is a number one mineral to fight stress, fatigue, and sleep issues?

00:10:48.000 My work schedule has been rather hectic lately, and I'm noticing it's starting to wear me down, even when I'm getting all my workouts in.

00:10:54.000 And in fact, I still feel like I'm stressed.

00:10:56.000 That's why I'm excited to share with you more about a magnesium product I discovered.

00:11:01.000 Magnesium powers over 600 critical reactors in our bodies, but don't just grab any magnesium pill.

00:11:06.000 The one I recommend is magnesium breakthrough because it combines all seven essential forms of magnesium into one convenient supplement.

00:11:13.000 Most magnesium supplements fail because they're not synthetic.

00:11:16.000 They fail because they are synthetic and they're not full spectrum.

00:11:19.000 When you get all seven critical forms of magnesium, pretty much every function in your body gets upgraded.

00:11:23.000 With one more simple action, you reverse your magnesium deficiency, fight fatigue, feel more at ease, feel less anxious.

00:11:28.000 This is by far the most complete magnesium product ever created, and I highly recommend it.

00:11:54.000 I want to talk about something here that I think.

00:11:57.000 Well, first, just one small note. 0.98

00:12:00.000 And I say this, it's a little bit of hope out there, a little bit of hope that the wokes haven't completely taken over everything in the Democrat Party. 0.98

00:12:08.000 But these stories are all connected, and I'm going to tie it all together. 0.98

00:12:12.000 But just really quick, the U.S. has approved a $735 million weapon sale to Israel per a new report.

00:12:19.000 So, this is President Joe Biden's administration has approved the sale of $735 million in weapons to Israel as the nation continues to battle barrage rockets fired by the terrorist organization Hamas from Gaza.

00:12:32.000 This is from the American military news.

00:12:35.000 So, Congress, according to law, has to be notified about this.

00:12:38.000 So, they were notified of the potential sale on May 5th.

00:12:42.000 And basically, liberal heads are exploding, as you can imagine.

00:12:51.000 A couple of comments here coming out of the House.

00:12:53.000 A Democrat lawmaker on the House of Foreign Affairs Committee, unnamed, said, In the past week, the Israeli military strikes have killed many civilians and destroyed the buildings that housed the Associated Press, an American company reporting on the facts in Gaza.

00:13:06.000 Well, we've already debunked that.

00:13:09.000 It did, in fact, destroy that building, but they were warned before to evacuate.

00:13:15.000 And meanwhile, the AP probably knew that they were sharing a building with Hamas. 0.52

00:13:20.000 Okay. 0.57

00:13:21.000 Allowing this proposed sale of smart bombs to go through without putting pressure on Israel to agree to a ceasefire will only enable further carnage.

00:13:33.000 So, lawmakers have 15 days to object with a non-binding resolution of disapproval.

00:13:40.000 The bulk of the proposed sale is of joint direct attack munitions or JDAMs kits to transform so-called dumb bombs into precision guided missiles. 1.00

00:13:55.000 So, what's interesting here, and this is why I say you got to have a little bit of hope that the wokes aren't completely taking over the institutions of our government. 0.99

00:14:07.000 But former President Donald Trump vetoed three resolutions passed by Congress in 2019 to stop arms sales, benefiting Saudi Arabia and the United Emirates after the House and Senate voted to block the arms deal with more worth more than $8 billion. 0.99

00:14:20.000 So, this is we're talking about this back and forth where the executive branch, the president, is able to agree to these arms sales with places like Israel.

00:14:29.000 The House has 15 days to essentially reject or contest the sale, but this is going to go through.

00:14:42.000 We're lucky to catch this weapon sale.

00:14:44.000 A Democratic aide who works on the committee told Power Up.

00:14:47.000 There's zero transparency on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and sensitive deals are regularly approved without scrutiny.

00:14:53.000 There's truth to the notion that there's a major shift in the party about how we rubber stamp Israel writ large, a Democrat Senate aide told Power Up.

00:15:02.000 The aide added that it's unlikely a debate over the sale will ultimately result in a resolution of disapproval from Congress.

00:15:07.000 So, this is going to go through.

00:15:08.000 But what we're seeing is that, listen to this quote again. 0.80

00:15:11.000 There's a truth in the notion that there's major shifts in the party about how we rubber stamp Israel writ large.

00:15:16.000 Okay, so what they're saying is like, hey, you might get away with this one time to help Israel defend itself, but change is coming. 0.86

00:15:24.000 Got the squad on it.

00:15:26.000 We got Corey Bush, who's basically a member of the squad.

00:15:30.000 The radicals are coming for it.

00:15:32.000 And guess what?

00:15:33.000 The media loves the radical narrative.

00:15:35.000 The media, even though it's supposed to be neutral like the AP, is not neutral.

00:15:42.000 They are going to continue spinning a narrative that Israel is an apartheid state engaged in ethnic cleansing on a terrible level that we've never seen except for in America because America is just as racist.

00:15:56.000 We're built on racism.

00:15:57.000 This is what they want us to believe.

00:15:59.000 And so these types of arms sales are going to make their heads explode, and we have not seen the last of this yet.

00:16:07.000 Look, by now, you've all heard me talk about my pillow and how Mike has done it again by introducing his MySlippers.

00:16:13.000 Mike Lindell, he's got a lot of ambition.

00:16:17.000 He's a patriot.

00:16:18.000 He loves his country.

00:16:19.000 A lot of people like Mike Lindell.

00:16:20.000 In fact, I get emails from people.

00:16:22.000 They say, Charlie, how can I help you?

00:16:23.000 How can I help Mike Lindell?

00:16:25.000 How can I help the country?

00:17:02.000 So this is the story that I've been hinting at.

00:17:05.000 I wanted to cover this because when I first read it, I was, let's just say, I was irritated.

00:17:11.000 I was frustrated.

00:17:12.000 I was angry.

00:17:13.000 Air Force Lieutenant Colonel fired after remarks about Marxism, critical race theory spreading in the military.

00:17:19.000 Now, I'm going to get into some of the things he said, and I'm going to explain why what he's saying is completely right and accurate.

00:17:25.000 And everybody in this audience is probably going to know that.

00:17:29.000 But I'm also going to defend the military here in some of their actions, which might surprise you.

00:17:34.000 It's a little unusual take, but I think it's important to explain the role of the military.

00:17:40.000 Okay, so a United States Air Force Lieutenant Colonel was fired from his command at Space Force after he gave interviews about his new book in which he said Marxism and critical race theory are spreading in the military.

00:17:53.000 Now, we, of course, understand that that's true. 1.00

00:17:57.000 We've seen report after report that details how the military is getting taken over by wokesters. 1.00

00:18:06.000 And something you'll hear us say on this show often is this phrase, the long march through the institutions. 1.00

00:18:13.000 The Marxists knew that their revolution was not going to be complete overnight.

00:18:18.000 They intended on a slow and long and deliberate march through our institutions.

00:18:24.000 Now, one institution that we thought would never fall, and I'm not going to say it has fallen, and it hasn't.

00:18:30.000 I know too many good people in it, but there is certainly pressure on high from the Biden administration, which has completely given into wokeism.

00:18:37.000 Maybe they haven't a little bit on Israel.

00:18:39.000 Thankfully, they're still backing Israel, at least in lip service. 0.73

00:18:45.000 But we never thought the military was going to fall, and I don't think it has, but there is pressure. 0.92

00:18:50.000 There is disturbing pressure, and certain power, certain powers that be within the military certainly have fallen.

00:19:00.000 So this guy's name is General Stephen Whiting.

00:19:03.000 He's the head of Space Operations Commander Was.

00:19:06.000 Oh, sorry, I take that back.

00:19:08.000 This is who fired Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lomier from his post as commander of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado.

00:19:16.000 So what happened is he gave two interviews on podcasts about his book, Irresistible Revolution, Marxism's Goal of Conquest and the Unmaking of the American Military.

00:19:28.000 So he's an Air Force grad, by the way.

00:19:30.000 Very accomplished, it seems, in his career.

00:19:33.000 Very smart, by the way.

00:19:34.000 His take on cultural Marxism and critical race theory is very rooted in truth.

00:19:40.000 He says, our diversity, inclusion, and equity industry and the trainings we received in the military are rooted in critical race theory.

00:19:47.000 The language of the training, which most people don't understand, but I help lay out in the book, was devised by Marxists.

00:19:54.000 It's intended to be divisive, and yet we spread it about the military services pretending it's going to unify everybody.

00:20:00.000 Amen, bravo.

00:20:03.000 I completely agree. 0.86

00:20:06.000 So he said that we complimented the Air Force, and I'll do the same and Space Force senior leaders, but he said, especially because of the climate at the moment, people that sense that something is off with all the diversity inclusion trainings and the language and the coerced speech. 0.98

00:20:20.000 It's a great phrase, by the way. 0.87

00:20:22.000 Coerced speech.

00:20:24.000 This is the left's main arrow in their quiver.

00:20:28.000 They coerce speech.

00:20:30.000 They use bullying and intimidation.

00:20:33.000 And they virtue signal.

00:20:34.000 And then they tell you that you're a terrible person when you don't want a virtue signal. 0.81

00:20:37.000 This goes back to the black squares on Instagram and social media after the George Floyd incident.

00:20:44.000 They said, ah, why didn't you put a black square?

00:20:46.000 I mean, celebrities are getting canceled if they didn't put a black square on their social media page.

00:20:50.000 And frankly, our show saw it right from the beginning. 1.00

00:20:52.000 We called it out.

00:20:54.000 We've never looked back, by the way. 0.79

00:20:56.000 Our show in that time grew leaps and bounds because people were so hungry for somebody who wasn't willing to get steamrolled by this woke nonsense, this critical race theory nonsense that America is a white supremacist nation. 0.99

00:21:07.000 It's all ridiculous. 0.95

00:21:08.000 America is the single most generous, benevolent, accepting nation on the history of planet Earth. 0.80

00:21:16.000 We are exceptional when it comes to this.

00:21:19.000 Have we been perfect?

00:21:20.000 Of course we haven't been perfect, but we are nevertheless exceptional.

00:21:23.000 The rule in human history is racism.

00:21:26.000 The rule in human history is the selling of slaves, indentured servitude.

00:21:32.000 The rule of the world throughout history has been classism, deep entrenched classism.

00:21:38.000 And America broke out of so much of all of that when she was founded.

00:21:42.000 Now, we took 150 years to experiment before the Declaration of Independence, from the first landings of the settlers in Plymouth Rock and beyond to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. 0.69

00:21:56.000 There was a nation that was forming without all the binds that had trapped Europeans in this classism and this old way of doing things.

00:22:06.000 And we brought it over without an established aristocracy.

00:22:09.000 And we found a way to create the most beautiful country, the most beautiful political experiment ever to grace the face of the world.

00:22:19.000 And so I go into that because it's important that we say again and again and again that America is not a racist place.

00:22:24.000 America is an accepting place.

00:22:26.000 America is a place in theory where the rule of law should still stand, regardless of the color of your skin. 0.87

00:22:32.000 That's an arco-tyranny when it doesn't.

00:22:36.000 When they apply a rule of law differently to different subgroups, based on you're a victim and you're not a victim, that's anarcho-tyranny.

00:22:46.000 We don't want that.

00:22:47.000 And we don't want different standards in the military based on the color of your skin.

00:22:55.000 So what this very well-intentioned person, I think, was doing, Lomier.

00:23:03.000 I think he knew that what he was saying was going to be understood as a direct slight against the leadership of the Air Force and the Space Force.

00:23:11.000 I think he knew he was taking the future of his career into his own hands.

00:23:16.000 And he knew that he was potentially going to face repercussions for this book because it's not just the military.

00:23:23.000 It's any big business.

00:23:25.000 It's any big bureaucracy.

00:23:27.000 It's any government.

00:23:28.000 If you're going to publish a book, there's usually a standard protocol that you need to follow to get the book approved.

00:23:37.000 You need to get it read so that there's nothing confidential, that there's this or that.

00:23:42.000 I'm hearing from some sources that he did not do that.

00:23:45.000 I think that he knew that he was going to be coming head-to-head with the powers that be in the military, fighting coerced speech, fighting critical race theory, fighting this diversity and equity garbage.

00:24:01.000 And I think he was willing to take that risk because probably for a couple of reasons.

00:24:04.000 One, it's really good PR.

00:24:06.000 Look, we're all talking about it.

00:24:08.000 I can guarantee that a lot more people are talking and buying his book than previously.

00:24:13.000 It has the benefit of being right.

00:24:17.000 It's all true.

00:24:19.000 He's on the right side of this issue completely.

00:24:22.000 And what he's saying, and I think some of the details are in some of these throwaway lines that most people aren't going to circle in on and focus on, says they're unwilling, he's talking about the leadership, they're unwilling to take a stand against it because they fear perhaps they might be in the wrong or they might not get promoted.

00:24:40.000 We spend a lot of time talking about great power competitions, but we faced our greatest threat here at home.

00:24:49.000 And he specifically takes aim, and I think this is probably why he got fired, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to discuss extremism with his troops.

00:24:58.000 He said the training materials began with a vignette about the January 6th Capitol breach.

00:25:02.000 Quote, that context painted the entire discussion and all the talking points.

00:25:09.000 He said that all the examples that were given in the training did not mention riots during the summer of 2020, but only had to do with the various odd examples of white nationalists that have been caught at some point in the last decade and had been punished for it and kicked out of the military or a radical Islamic terrorist.

00:25:27.000 So he tried to say that, you know, I don't believe that they have ill motives, but here's what's happening.

00:25:32.000 So he tried to kind of hedge, but here's what's happening.

00:25:32.000 Here's what's happening.

00:25:34.000 You got the right that's saying the great purge of our institutions, the military, the Woaesters have taken over, all hell's breaking loose. 0.98

00:25:41.000 And then you got Lloyd Austin and his ilk basically saying, well, the military needs to be more diverse. 0.97

00:25:47.000 We need to care about equity.

00:25:50.000 This isn't hyper-politicization of the military.

00:25:52.000 This is just diversity and inclusion.

00:25:56.000 And I think the truth is somewhere in between.

00:25:58.000 I think the truth is that this guy, Lomier, is absolutely right.

00:26:03.000 Critical race theory has no business in our military.

00:26:06.000 We must be a fighting force that can establish peace, both domestically and internationally, through strength.

00:26:14.000 We have to be the best fighting force on the planet.

00:26:17.000 We don't have to be the most equitable or diverse, any of these other things.

00:26:20.000 Hopefully all that stuff happens and there is opportunity for all.

00:26:23.000 And it really is true, by the way.

00:26:25.000 Our military is already massively diverse.

00:26:31.000 But it's not this critical race theory does, he's absolutely right in his take.

00:26:36.000 It doesn't belong in the military, but at the same time, he has to abide by a certain chain of command protocols and he can't be openly criticizing the military.

00:26:47.000 So I was calling a couple of my sources on this and they said, you know what?

00:26:51.000 I would have canned him too.

00:26:52.000 Totally agree with what he had to say, but you can't be doing that in a public way to promote your book when you're in leadership and at this high level of leadership in the U.S. military.

00:27:03.000 So, so anyways, Brian, and by the way, I think this guy might be a hero.

00:27:09.000 I think that if you end up losing your career, if you end up drawing all this attention to yourself, I mean, I'd love to have him on our show.

00:27:17.000 In fact, we might reach out to him.

00:27:20.000 I mean, if you do all of this, warning about Marxism, infiltrating the military, not only are you right, but you just found an ingenious way to bring a lot of attention to it.

00:27:30.000 And by the way, you're the sympathetic figure in this because you got canned for speaking your mind.

00:27:36.000 Most people don't really fully understand the chain of command issues and the keeping politics out of the military.

00:27:45.000 Now, you might say, but he didn't bring politics into the military.

00:27:48.000 He was just saying Marxism was bad.

00:27:50.000 And that was my take, too. 1.00

00:27:51.000 I actually sort of agree with that.

00:27:53.000 Marxism should not be, it should be apolitical in the United States of America.

00:27:57.000 You should not be considered partisan for attacking Marxism.

00:28:01.000 But the problem is that the Democrats have found a very the Marxism has found a very, very friendly home in the Democratic Party.

00:28:08.000 And we all know that's true.

00:28:10.000 Nevertheless, he openly criticized directives that were coming from on high.

00:28:17.000 He has attacked some of the training.

00:28:20.000 So my take is a little bit unique.

00:28:24.000 Now, God willing, Joe Biden and the Democrats will be out of power soon enough.

00:28:30.000 And if that happens, then we will also be in charge of the military, once again, the conservatives.

00:28:38.000 And it's important that the military stays apolitical.

00:28:41.000 It really is.

00:28:42.000 Now, I salute this guy for calling it out.

00:28:44.000 I hope that this affects a lot of really good change.

00:28:46.000 But at the end of the day, our military has to remain one of those institutions that's sacred.

00:28:51.000 I hope it does.

00:28:52.000 We'll see.

00:28:55.000 In 1857, the SS Central, also known as the Gold Ship, sank with 9.1 tons of gold on board, valued at $2.1 million.

00:29:03.000 That is the modern-day equivalent to hundreds of millions of dollars, the greatest American treasure ever discovered at sea.

00:29:09.000 Today, Noble Gold, a California-based company with a pristine reputation, has a share of these coins available to their clients.

00:29:15.000 Over 7,000 gold coins, mostly $1, $5, and $20 gold coins from 1840, 1857, were recovered from the SS Central America shipwreck.

00:29:24.000 Most of these coins were from the ship of gold, were quickly acquired by private collectors when the coins were first brought to the market in 2000.

00:29:31.000 Now, Noble Gold's clients can get this unforgettable part of American history at a fair, affordable valuation.

00:29:36.000 Contact Noble Gold and ask about the Kirk shipwreck deal.

00:29:39.000 To receive this unique offer, visit noblegoldinvestments.com and then call a Noble Gold representative to ask about the shipwreck coins.

00:29:46.000 It's time to tell better stories at your parties by showcasing a one-of-kind coin from collection destined to rise in value, noblegoldinvestments.com.

00:29:56.000 So, the update on the audit, a lot of folks in our audience are really, really curious about this.

00:30:01.000 That we get a lot of emails about this.

00:30:03.000 We probably get the most emails about critical race theory and the audits.

00:30:06.000 But just so you guys know, what's going on is there's a couple main irregularities that have been reported.

00:30:11.000 Okay.

00:30:12.000 One is that the ballot boxes that get this box of ballots, and I've talked to some folks about it.

00:30:18.000 So I got a little intel here.

00:30:20.000 You get a box of ballots, and it says on a little slip of paper, you got 250 ballots.

00:30:24.000 Well, when they count it, you might have 220, or you might have 210, or in one instance that I've seen, they had too many ballots.

00:30:33.000 So there's raising massive questions about where all these ballots have gone.

00:30:38.000 Why is there discrepancies in the slip that's supposed to tell you versus what's in the box?

00:30:43.000 Now, I'm hearing that all of this could be handled on the backside.

00:30:48.000 You might see this reconciled when you count all of the ballots.

00:30:51.000 Maybe the ballots ended up in a different box.

00:30:53.000 They're about 30% of the way through.

00:30:55.000 They were supposed to be done by now, but what I'm hearing is that the process has been extended simply because there's been a thousand different loose ends that they've now realized that they have to chase down and take care of.

00:31:07.000 Because this is just, there's a lot more here than I think even they realized.

00:31:12.000 So they keep looking into these boxes.

00:31:14.000 They keep looking into how many ballots are in the boxes.

00:31:17.000 They don't line up yet.

00:31:18.000 Okay.

00:31:18.000 30% done.

00:31:19.000 We'll find out if they reconcile.

00:31:21.000 Okay.

00:31:22.000 So this is Karen Fann said that in a letter she wrote to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors that there are serious issues that have arisen in the course of the Senate's ongoing audit of the returns of the November 3rd, 2020 election in Maricopa County.

00:31:36.000 So, there's also the other issues.

00:31:38.000 So, we've got the ballot boxes not lining up with the slips.

00:31:41.000 And then we've got the fact that the county is not abiding by the subpoena.

00:31:45.000 So, they are not complying with the subpoena that the state sent of the state senate in pursuit of the audit.

00:31:50.000 So, they've refused to hand over numerous routers covered by that subpoena.

00:31:55.000 Now, they're saying that it's a security issue both for local and federal law enforcement, that they are used for multiple public departments outside of election management, and that they can't give the auditors access to that hardware.

00:32:05.000 So, Fan in the letter proposed that they could do a virtual review virtual images of the relevant routers in the presence of Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.

00:32:15.000 That seems like a legitimate workaround.

00:32:19.000 They're denying that, okay?

00:32:20.000 And then there are the again the storage issues, and then there is furthermore, there's oh, this is the big one: the deletion of the entire database from a county election machine.

00:32:33.000 Now, again, I don't want to jump to conclusions, I think you could make too much out of this, folks, but that's a big one: this deletion of the database.

00:32:40.000 So, you want to track this story.

00:32:42.000 We're going to be covering it more in the week ahead, and maybe the weeks ahead, but there's going to be more and more from this Arizona audit.

00:32:50.000 All right, everybody, thank you so much for listening in.
