00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody, welcome to this episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:02.000 This is producer Andrew Colvett filling in for the one, the only Charlie Kirk, who is away stumping in Ohio.
00:00:09.000 But that's all right.
00:00:10.000 We got it covered.
00:00:10.000 We got it on lock, folks, right here, talking about none other than the Ministry of Truth.
00:00:16.000 We have additional details coming in over the weekend from Secretary Mayorkis on Nina Jankowitz on what the actual purpose of the Ministry of Truth, quote unquote, is according to the regime and why that's all a bunch of bunk.
00:00:29.000 Then we welcome Libby Emmons, editor-in-chief of the post-millennial to the show.
00:00:34.000 We talk about Tucker Carlson hit piece from the New York Times and why he's smiling about it.
00:00:39.000 We talk about the ruling out of the state of New York, which is a major setback to the Democrat Party on gerrymandering.
00:00:47.000 And then we also talk about the Amazon abortion industry.
00:00:51.000 Why is Amazon awarding compensation to employees that want to get abortions in other states?
00:00:57.000 We have it all right here on the Charlie Kirk show.
00:00:59.000 Don't go anywhere.
00:01:00.000 Buckle up.
00:01:01.000 Here we go.
00:01:02.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:04.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:06.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:09.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:12.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:14.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:15.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:22.000 Turning point USA.
00:01:23.000 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.
00:01:32.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:34.000 Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:01:40.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandodd.com.
00:01:47.000 So I want to get into a really critical story that blew up over the past week.
00:01:52.000 You guys all know about it.
00:01:53.000 The Ministry of Truth.
00:01:55.000 Now, DHS Secretary Mayorkis, that's the Department of Homeland Security, asserts that the disinformation board chaired by Nina Jankowicz, who's straight out of central casting for the progressive left, is going to be completely and absolutely neutral.
00:02:16.000 From the story, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkis said there is no question he could have more effectively communicated the purpose of his newly created disinformation board.
00:02:28.000 So he's giving a Maya Culpa there.
00:02:30.000 After critics framed it as a crackdown on free speech, Mayorkas explained Sunday that the board specifically addresses disinformation that presents a security threat to the homeland.
00:02:41.000 Now, interesting couching of language again.
00:02:45.000 This is the game they play.
00:02:46.000 Look at the language.
00:02:47.000 So it presents a security threat to the homeland.
00:02:50.000 So then he says disinformation from Russia, from China, from Iran, from the cartels, he said.
00:02:58.000 So he also claims that Nina Jankowitz will absolutely be neutral and is a renowned expert in the field of disinformation.
00:03:07.000 So that's an interesting take from Secretary Mayorkis.
00:03:12.000 So let's play that clip and you judge for yourself.
00:03:14.000 Cut three.
00:03:16.000 Republicans are criticizing your decision, the administration's decision to choose Nina Jankowicz to lead this disinformation board.
00:03:25.000 They say she is not somebody who is neutral.
00:03:28.000 Your response?
00:03:29.000 Eminently qualified, a renowned expert in the field of disinformation.
00:03:34.000 Absolutely so.
00:03:36.000 Eminently qualified, an expert in the field.
00:03:40.000 Of course, of course.
00:03:42.000 Let's just keep going here then.
00:03:44.000 So let's play cut four.
00:03:49.000 Mayorkis says that the group that he has put together is going to safeguard.
00:03:53.000 You hear that?
00:03:53.000 They're going to safeguard the right of free speech.
00:03:56.000 Cut four.
00:03:57.000 I believe that this working group that gathers together, gathers together best practices, makes sure that our work is coordinated, consistent with those best practices, that we're safeguarding the right of free speech, that we're safeguarding civil liberties, I think is an extraordinarily important endeavor.
00:04:16.000 Okay, so I want you to break this down, okay?
00:04:18.000 Very, very important what's happening here.
00:04:21.000 Safeguarding free speech.
00:04:23.000 What does that actually mean?
00:04:25.000 Well, of course, it's a euphemism when used by progressives.
00:04:29.000 It's a euphemism for censoring speech they don't like.
00:04:34.000 Because remember, the left believes that speech can be violence.
00:04:38.000 So if speech is violence, what kind of speech will they censor in order to quote unquote safeguard your civil liberties?
00:04:49.000 Well, a CNN analyst, David Zurowatwick, whoever he is, sort of gave away the game over the weekend.
00:04:57.000 And this clip is catching fire all across the internet, especially conservative internet, because he says the quiet part out loud.
00:05:03.000 Go ahead and play cut two.
00:05:05.000 No, I think there's a bigger problem that when we focus on the personalities of people like Elon Musk and people say, oh, I think Elon's thinking this or that.
00:05:13.000 There's a bigger problem here about how we are going to control the channels of communication in this country.
00:05:20.000 This is dangerous.
00:05:21.000 We can't think anymore in this country.
00:05:23.000 We don't have people.
00:05:24.000 No, I'm serious.
00:05:25.000 We don't have people in Congress who can make regulations that can make it work.
00:05:30.000 I think we can look to the Western countries in Europe for how they are trying to limit it.
00:05:34.000 But you need, you need controls on this.
00:05:38.000 You need regulation.
00:05:39.000 You cannot let these guys control discourse in this country or we are headed to hell.
00:05:44.000 We are there.
00:05:45.000 Trump opened the gate to hell and now they're chasing us.
00:05:48.000 What a damning clip.
00:05:51.000 I don't know if you caught everything that just said that.
00:05:54.000 We need to control discourse in this country.
00:05:59.000 That is sheer panic.
00:06:01.000 He says we don't have people that can think in this country.
00:06:05.000 So we need to tell them what to think.
00:06:08.000 They can't think for themselves.
00:06:10.000 You are not an adult.
00:06:12.000 You are not mature enough to make decisions.
00:06:14.000 Only he is.
00:06:16.000 Only that man that goes on CNN with Brian Stelter is able to possibly think for you.
00:06:22.000 I'm going to play that clip again because it is so shocking what he says.
00:06:27.000 But I want you to think about it as you're listening.
00:06:30.000 This is precisely what the left thinks.
00:06:34.000 They do not think you are allowed to think.
00:06:37.000 They do not believe that you have the capacity to reason as an adult, as an informed citizen to make decisions and vote appropriately, to vote according to your values.
00:06:49.000 Play that cut again and just listen to what the left is actually telling you and who they think needs to be in control.
00:06:56.000 No, I think there's a bigger problem that when we focus on the personalities of people like Elon Musk and people say, oh, I think Elon's thinking this or that.
00:07:04.000 There's a bigger problem here about how we are going to control the channels of communication in this country.
00:07:11.000 This is dangerous.
00:07:12.000 We can't think anymore in this country.
00:07:14.000 We don't have people.
00:07:15.000 No, I'm serious.
00:07:16.000 We don't have people in Congress who can make regulations that can make it work.
00:07:21.000 I think we can look to the Western countries in Europe for how they are trying to limit it.
00:07:26.000 But you need, you need controls on this.
00:07:29.000 You need regulation.
00:07:30.000 You cannot let these guys control discourse in this country or we are headed to hell.
00:07:35.000 We are there.
00:07:36.000 Trump opened the gates of hell and now they're chasing us.
00:07:40.000 It's amazing to watch the panic.
00:07:42.000 This is actually, you should get a little bit of sick joy.
00:07:44.000 It's not sick.
00:07:45.000 It's actually a healthy joy.
00:07:46.000 When you watch the censors, when you watch the control freaks panic, that they are losing controls of the gateways.
00:07:53.000 They are losing controls of the avenues of information.
00:08:00.000 Now, when the internet was created, it was this free-for-all.
00:08:03.000 It was the wild west.
00:08:04.000 It was open to everybody.
00:08:06.000 You couldn't control it.
00:08:07.000 It wasn't even thought that you could control it, as a matter of fact.
00:08:11.000 Ultimately, power and communication aggregated in certain platforms, as is prone to do with money, with anything.
00:08:18.000 It's the Matthew principle.
00:08:21.000 Those who have more, even more will be given to them.
00:08:23.000 Those who have little, even the little they have, that too will be taken from them.
00:08:28.000 It's actually just a fact of life.
00:08:30.000 It's an economic principle.
00:08:32.000 As these organizations grew, they became magnets for even more people.
00:08:36.000 People want to be where all the other people are.
00:08:38.000 This is why Twitter is still the powerhouse that it is, especially with Musk.
00:08:44.000 You have conservatives flocking back to the platform.
00:08:46.000 I know Charlie's own Twitter page has been exploding.
00:08:49.000 So give him a follow, Charlie Kirk11 on Twitter.
00:08:52.000 And with Musk there, I have no problem saying that.
00:08:55.000 And also follow him on Getter, True Social.
00:08:57.000 We got to occupy all roads.
00:09:01.000 But listen, this, this is another thing I want to highlight of what he said.
00:09:05.000 We have to look to Europe.
00:09:07.000 Now, why did he say that?
00:09:09.000 Recently, Europe passed something called the Digital Services Act.
00:09:13.000 This is the 27-nation block digital rulebook.
00:09:18.000 And according to NPR, this is a really funny way to put it, it helps cement Europe's reputation as the global leader in efforts to rein in the power of social media companies and other digital platforms.
00:09:30.000 This is a quote from the EU Internal Market Commissioner, Terry Brenton.
00:09:35.000 With the DSA, the time of big online tech platforms behaving like they are too big to care is coming to an end.
00:09:45.000 EU Commission Vice President Margaret Vestaga added that with today's agreement, we ensure that platforms are held accountable for the risks their services can pose to society and citizens.
00:10:01.000 So what he's saying is, and this is a big new law passed in Europe, and it has massive implications for the United States.
00:10:09.000 And let me tell you, the left, the progressive left in this country is clamoring for it, which should tell you, be aware, be suspicious.
00:10:19.000 Now, I want to slightly couch this in different terms in the sense that EU has actually done some good things on the tech side, believe it or not.
00:10:30.000 They have really tackled the antitrust issue with Google.
00:10:34.000 As many of you are probably aware, Google, as the most powerful search engine in the world by a long shot, having over 90% of global searches, they are able to promote companies that they prefer.
00:10:52.000 They're able to promote their own services and to hide companies that they don't prefer, competitors, that sort of thing.
00:11:00.000 Google has been fined $8.8 million.
00:11:05.000 I think it's 8.2 million Euros.
00:11:08.000 Billion, I think if I said million, I meant billion euros.
00:11:12.000 They've been fined in the European Union as a result of these antitrust fines, which I think is actually great.
00:11:20.000 I think Google has far too much power.
00:11:23.000 We've said it on the show multiple times.
00:11:25.000 We need to get back into trust busting in this country, especially with something like Google or Alphabet, and even Meta, which has Instagram, Facebook.
00:11:35.000 These companies were probably better off separated, put apart, pulled apart.
00:11:41.000 This would be better for the consumer.
00:11:43.000 Now, some of these regulations in the EU in this act that now you hear people on CNN and people like Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, all saying is a good thing.
00:11:56.000 Some of that is actually okay, right?
00:11:58.000 It protects the consumer.
00:11:59.000 I'm all for that.
00:12:00.000 I think there should be anonymity for the consumer.
00:12:02.000 All of this stuff is great.
00:12:04.000 Now, where it gets confusing and when it gets problematic is that these rules are actually designed to curb what they consider hate speech.
00:12:14.000 They're using this word toxic in the European Union.
00:12:18.000 Now, the big tuck companies like Google and Twitter are all saying, we welcome thoughtful regulation moving forward.
00:12:24.000 And even Elon Musk sort of weighed into this.
00:12:27.000 On April 26th, he said, the extreme antibody reaction from those who fear free speech says it all.
00:12:35.000 Now, that became a massive tweet, 1.7 million likes, 84,000 comments, which is massive, 227,000 retweets.
00:12:44.000 Just a massive tweet.
00:12:47.000 And it caused a lot of controversy.
00:12:49.000 So there was the progressives that were chiming in, like, what do you mean by free speech?
00:12:53.000 You know, everybody gets to be a Nazi now.
00:12:55.000 He said, by free speech, I simply mean that which matches the law.
00:13:01.000 I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law.
00:13:04.000 If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect.
00:13:09.000 Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people.
00:13:15.000 In a shocking twist of events, even The Atlantic agreed with a headline saying, Elon Musk is right that Twitter should follow the First Amendment.
00:13:23.000 A long history of free speech jurisprudence backs him up.
00:13:29.000 This is from author Jeffrey Rosen, who's a contributing writer for The Atlantic.
00:13:34.000 Now, what he's saying is actually very brilliant.
00:13:37.000 He said that, listen, if you are part of a country that does not value free speech, you will pass laws that reflect those values and Twitter will be forced to comply with that.
00:13:51.000 In the United States, we have a long history of free speech.
00:13:54.000 Therefore, it would follow that our platforms would have much greater breadth and freedom to allow speech on our platform.
00:14:04.000 Since Twitter is an American-made company, it's massive in this country.
00:14:08.000 It should reflect the values of the American people.
00:14:14.000 Are you prepared for the coming worldwide food shortage?
00:14:17.000 We are nine meals away from anarchy.

00:15:18.000 Go to mypatriotsupply.com.
00:15:21.000 That is mypatriotsupply.com.
00:15:26.000 The point I want to wrap up, and this is very important, is that there is a way that the left uses language, and there is a trap that they are setting for us.
00:15:39.000 When Maorca says that he rolled out this whole board improperly and that it was his fault and that Nina is very accomplished, eminently accomplished, and that we're really just worried about like China and the cartels and Russia disinformation.
00:15:55.000 Here's what's also happened: they are saying that misinformation is a major threat to our homeland.
00:16:02.000 And they've already gone on record saying that before they got their talking points right.
00:16:06.000 Okay.
00:16:07.000 So I just let's go ahead and play cut 18.
00:16:10.000 If we have it loaded up right now, which I think we do, and we'll put a button on that clip.
00:16:15.000 Another huge threat to our homeland is miss and disinformation.
00:16:18.000 A newer trend that we saw in the 2020 election and already in the 2022 midterms is that disinformation is being heavily targeted at Spanish-speaking voters, sparking and fueling conspiracy theories.
00:16:30.000 DHS and its components play a big role in addressing mis and disinformation in Spanish and other languages.
00:16:37.000 Can you share what steps you've taken and what future plans you have to address Spanish language mis and disinformation through department-wide approach?
00:16:45.000 Okay, so see what they're doing here, folks.
00:16:47.000 And I want to remind you of the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:16:50.000 What did they call that when that first happened?
00:16:51.000 They called it disinformation, Russian disinformation.
00:16:55.000 As a matter of fact, all these intel operatives went on record with Politico, over 50 of them.
00:17:01.000 And then guess what?
00:17:02.000 Joe Biden echoed that in a presidential debate with President Trump.
00:17:06.000 They will use misinformation as a threat to the homeland as an excuse to ban speech they don't like.
00:17:12.000 Or if they say that you're trumpeting Russian talking points, it doesn't matter if it's about the war in Ukraine or if it's about a Hunter Biden laptop, they will use that and weaponize it to censor your speech.
00:17:23.000 We need to be vigilant.
00:17:25.000 I am so honored to have one of my favorite people in all of media.
00:17:29.000 So as we play these clips for you from CNN and they're just horrible and they're calling for censoring, my friend Libby Emmons, editor-in-chief of the post-millennial, is here with us and she doesn't want to censor anybody.
00:17:41.000 Libby, right?
00:17:42.000 You're not trying to censor anybody at the post-millennial.
00:17:44.000 I'm absolutely not trying to censor anyone at all.
00:17:47.000 I'm thoroughly opposed to censorship.
00:17:49.000 Good for you.
00:17:51.000 I kind of put you on the spot there.
00:17:52.000 I was hoping you were going to say that.
00:17:55.000 I thought I had a good lead on that.
00:17:56.000 All right.
00:17:57.000 So, Libby, there is so much that I want to cover with you.
00:18:01.000 There's, and we, and hopefully, Lord willing, we're going to get to most of it.
00:18:05.000 We've got an AOC lying blatantly about Texas abortion laws.
00:18:09.000 We've got Jim Jordan calling for accountability.
00:18:12.000 We've got the New York Times attacking Tucker Carlson in a massive piece that he just had this great reaction to.
00:18:19.000 And I'm going to have the team pull up Tucker's smile when we get to that story.
00:18:24.000 Listen, the floor is yours.
00:18:26.000 We've got a plethora of stories.
00:18:28.000 The menu is before you.
00:18:29.000 What do you want to cover first?
00:18:31.000 Why don't we start with AOC?
00:18:33.000 Let's do it.
00:18:34.000 So AOC put out this tweet saying that Texas had passed an anti-abortion law that makes it possible for rapists to sue the women they rape if they impregnate those women and the women go on to have abortions.
00:18:49.000 What a horrifying, horrifying scenario for anyone who is involved in something like that.
00:18:54.000 Well, you know, except I have no sympathy for the rapist, but I have all the sympathy in the world for a woman, obviously, who is raped and her potential offspring from that kind of violation.
00:19:05.000 But the problem with what AOC said was that it was a complete and total fabrication.
00:19:10.000 The pro-life law in Texas does not say anything of the sort.
00:19:15.000 The law was rather carefully constructed, and you can see that if you take a look at it, it says that anyone who is either facilitating abortions or providing abortions can be sued by another citizen in the state for up to, I think, something like $10,000.
00:19:35.000 And it specifically says that a woman who is seeking an abortion will not be penalized, will not be subject to a lawsuit, and will not be prosecuted for that.
00:19:46.000 Yeah.
00:19:47.000 So this is actually really important on a, on a, especially for young people, by the way.
00:19:53.000 And why I say that is because I was with Charlie at the University of California, Berkeley.
00:20:00.000 And he was tabling.
00:20:02.000 I actually got to cover the show the day after.
00:20:05.000 He was tabling.
00:20:06.000 There was hundreds of people milling about, I was having conversations with them, sidebar conversations.
00:20:13.000 And on at least three occasions with just random Berkeley students, they parroted this same lie.
00:20:21.000 So wherever it's getting spread before AOC picked it up, it has completely permeated the progressive youth culture, whatever message boards, whatever Instagram accounts, Twitter accounts they're following.
00:20:35.000 They think this is true.
00:20:37.000 And I had to tell them, I was like, this is absolutely garbage.
00:20:40.000 This is not what the law does.
00:20:42.000 This is not what the law is intended to do.
00:20:44.000 But this is being spread all around.
00:20:46.000 And AOC with her massive platform, it's a despicable live, really.
00:20:50.000 I mean, she should know better.
00:20:52.000 And frankly, if you're going to censor disinformation, why don't you start with this tweet from AOC, right?
00:20:58.000 But I think it's being, the tweet's been heavily ratioed, I think.
00:21:02.000 Well, maybe not ratioed, but there's been a lot of pushback.
00:21:04.000 A lot of people noticed that she was lying.
00:21:07.000 Yeah, I mean, exactly.
00:21:08.000 I don't think Nina Jankowicz took any notice of her lie.
00:21:12.000 Well, listen, it's been liked 218,000 times.
00:21:12.000 Exactly.
00:21:16.000 It's been retweeted 38.8,000 times along with 2,200 quote tweets, which basically is a retweet with a comment.
00:21:25.000 So, I mean, this is spreading.
00:21:28.000 Honestly, I hadn't heard about this story until you brought it up with me this morning.
00:21:32.000 So we're not doing a good enough job countering the disinformation yet from AOC, but this is a despicable lie that, again, means so much to young voters, youth culture.
00:21:42.000 You're trying to rile them up and get them involved in this election.
00:21:45.000 The Democrats are terrified they're not going to show up in the polls in November and then in 2024.
00:21:50.000 And I think it's important to note, too, that this isn't the only Democratic lie that is told about laws being passed in red states.
00:21:58.000 We had a huge issue regarding the parental rights and education bill in Florida signed by Governor DeSantis, where Democrats picked it up and said it was the don't say gay bill.
00:22:09.000 There's absolutely no truth to the claim that this bill says that anyone in the state of Florida, no matter what, where they are, cannot say this word.
00:22:21.000 It's absolutely unfounded.
00:22:23.000 And it doesn't seem to matter how much we push back against it and point out that it's about that this law is intended to protect students and especially younger grades from activist teachers who would usher students as young as 10 years old, five years old into adult sexual lifestyles, concepts about that and concepts of gender ideology.
00:22:45.000 That's what the bill is designed to protect.
00:22:46.000 It's designed to protect children.
00:22:48.000 It doesn't say anything about you can't say if you're a little kid that you have two dads.
00:22:55.000 There's nothing about that at all.
00:22:57.000 As a matter of fact, I'm sure that the governor would say, I hope you have a loving family.
00:23:01.000 You know, that's really all that matters.
00:23:03.000 And this is what they're doing.
00:23:03.000 Of course.
00:23:06.000 They know they're losing on every single front imaginable right now.
00:23:09.000 They need to rile up the base.
00:23:12.000 And I've said it time and again, I'll say it here.
00:23:15.000 The left is a means justifies the ends party.
00:23:18.000 They don't care if they have to lie, cheat, or steal to get their point across.
00:23:21.000 This is another example of them doing that.
00:23:24.000 And by the way, I mean, I just think it's, I live in the state of California.
00:23:28.000 Yes, I'm still in communist California.
00:23:31.000 Actually, Libby is in New York City.
00:23:33.000 So, what are you going to do?
00:23:34.000 We're reporting from the coasts, speaking to the heartland.
00:23:38.000 So, listen to this.
00:23:39.000 I didn't prep you on this, Libby.
00:23:39.000 This is a new story.
00:23:41.000 So, I'm sorry to put you on the spot, but this is just breaking.
00:23:43.000 Amazon to reimburse U.S. employees who travel for treatments, including abortions, up to $4,000 reimbursement, travel reimbursement from Amazon.
00:23:53.000 Okay.
00:23:54.000 So, in California, we've got SB 2223, which is basically the infanticide bill.
00:24:00.000 It's an evil bill, which would, in theory, allow for infanticide up to a week after, some are saying even longer.
00:24:08.000 And you cannot criminalize that.
00:24:10.000 You can't, the law enforcement agencies can't get that.
00:24:12.000 So, California is attempting to become a travel destination for abortionists.
00:24:18.000 Then you have Amazon fund this.
00:24:20.000 What's your reaction?
00:24:21.000 I think it's horrifying.
00:24:23.000 Citibank, I believe, has done the exact same thing, said that if you're seeking abortions, they will fund you to go out of state, wherever that is, and go get your abortion.
00:24:34.000 We saw also Oklahoma was criminalizing.
00:24:38.000 I don't think they were criminalizing women, but they were saying no more abortions in the state of Oklahoma as well.
00:24:43.000 While Colorado is a sanctuary state, Connecticut is a sanctuary state, California is a sanctuary state.
00:24:49.000 I think that Amazon and Citibank are trying to keep their workers where they are.
00:24:54.000 They need warehouses in all of these places and they need workers, but to fund abortions in order to directly bypass the law of the state in which you are located, I think is a problem.
00:25:08.000 And we're seeing an awful lot of corporate activism bolstered by companies like Disney, who are corporate activists in the state of Florida, who are denouncing the laws of the state there.
00:25:20.000 And I think that it's really a shame.
00:25:21.000 And for too long, the GOP has been very pro-corporate America.
00:25:26.000 And now corporate America is entirely turning their backs on the party that gives them so much free reign in almost a libertarian sense to do their business.
00:25:36.000 Right.
00:25:36.000 And in retrospect, you look back to 2017, we passed that tax bill with, you know, we had control of both houses.
00:25:43.000 Trump was president.
00:25:44.000 And what did we do?
00:25:44.000 We gave a corporate handout to business.
00:25:47.000 And how do they repay Republicans by stuffing the culture war down their throat and basically defying the people that gave them the tax cut in the first place?
00:25:57.000 Yeah.
00:25:57.000 There's two.
00:25:58.000 And it's across all kinds of industries.
00:26:00.000 It's in, we saw it with the Sandia Labs that they are doing this.
00:26:05.000 We saw this all across industries that were forcing critical race theory down the throats of the executives and the staff.
00:26:11.000 And now we're seeing them just come straight after the laws of the states where they're where they're located.
00:26:17.000 The constituents get to decide how they want to be governed.
00:26:22.000 That's democracy.
00:26:23.000 That's the rule.
00:26:24.000 That's what we get.
00:26:25.000 So if the constituents in Texas want to be governed in this way, that is their right.
00:26:30.000 That is their call.
00:26:31.000 They get to make that decision.
00:26:32.000 Yeah, you're 100% right.
00:26:34.000 And, you know, you've got idiots like Asa Hutchinson saying that the reaction from the state of Florida against Disney is wrong, that it's attacking a corporation that doesn't see eye to eye with the legislature.
00:26:53.000 Asa Hutchinson should just take this one off.
00:26:57.000 He's been wrong on the trans issue.
00:26:59.000 He's been wrong on multiple other issues.
00:27:01.000 He is the definition of a corporate crony conservative in air quotes that is very willing to sell out the will of his people to the corporation, the highest bidder in his state.
00:27:13.000 There's also, by the way, this is what bothers me as well.
00:27:16.000 You've got representatives in the state of Texas trying to lure Twitter away from California.
00:27:22.000 And I'm thinking, you know, these people don't work from the office anyway, so maybe it's not a big deal, but it is a disaster waiting to happen in the state of Texas.
00:27:29.000 To keep Texas red Dinesh D'Souza has a real special movie coming out, everybody.
00:27:36.000 In 2020, November 2020, Democrats were up to no good.
00:27:41.000 They were planning to pull off one of the greatest schemes of election fraud never seen before, but they didn't think we would catch them.
00:27:47.000 But we did.
00:27:48.000 Find out what they did and how they did it in a new documentary film called 2000 Mules, directed and narrated by renowned filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, an executive produced by the Salem Media Group with research from truthevote.org.
00:28:02.000 2000 Mules is going to be a game changer.
00:28:04.000 2000 Mules tells the story of the ones who tried to hijack a presidential election.
00:28:09.000 You'll see actual video surveillance tape.
00:28:11.000 You'll see how we track their cell phones to box after box after they got paid to carry out this illegal scheme.

00:28:40.000 That is 2000mules.com.
00:28:45.000 You are a resident of the state of New York.
00:28:48.000 We've covered this.
00:28:49.000 There's some breaking news that is very, very interesting about gerrymandering.
00:28:54.000 Fill us in.
00:28:56.000 So essentially, a court ruled that Democrats had been extremely partisan in drawing up the lines for the state Senate and congressional maps as well.
00:29:08.000 And you had my personal representative, well, personal representative, the representative of my district, Nicole Mali-Takis, who is a conservative from New York.
00:29:16.000 Shocking.
00:29:16.000 She exists.
00:29:18.000 And she was saying that this is an effort.
00:29:20.000 It had been an effort by Democrats to silence the voices of those conservative New Yorkers who are so often divided up into little tiny pieces and shoved into Nadler's district.
00:29:32.000 So it's pretty fascinating.
00:29:34.000 And it likely will delay the primaries to perhaps August.
00:29:38.000 That's incredible.
00:29:39.000 For the midterms.
00:29:40.000 Yeah.
00:29:40.000 So amazing.
00:29:41.000 So we've covered extensively the maps in Florida.
00:29:47.000 So it was 1611.
00:29:49.000 Basically, DeSantis in one fell swoop wiped out the gains that Democrats had made nationwide in states like California, Illinois, New York.
00:29:59.000 So he went from 1611 to I think 28.
00:30:04.000 I think it was 28.
00:30:06.000 It was a massive, massive change based on his maps.
00:30:09.000 What do we know about the maps in New York?
00:30:13.000 What districts, what are we at on a count?
00:30:15.000 What districts favor which party?
00:30:18.000 Well, we would have seen Democrats having an advantage in 22 out of 26 of the congressional seats that would remain after the 2020 census.
00:30:31.000 And now I think we're going to see a change in that.
00:30:33.000 Democrats have been fighting across every single area to try and win votes and to try.
00:30:40.000 Sorry, my son is like trying to get my attention.
00:30:42.000 Honey, give me a few minutes.
00:30:45.000 He's off school because it's Eid, and we get every single holiday off in New York City.
00:30:51.000 We get Little New Year.
00:30:52.000 We get everything.
00:30:53.000 So he's off today.
00:30:54.000 Say that over again.
00:30:55.000 I will be back.
00:30:56.000 Say that number again for us.
00:30:58.000 What was the worst thing?
00:30:59.000 They would have had 22 out of 26 congressional seats.
00:31:02.000 So four Republican-leaning districts.
00:31:04.000 Yeah, four Republican-leaning districts.
00:31:06.000 And I just don't think that that's accurate.
00:31:08.000 We have a lot of blue districts.
00:31:11.000 That's definitely true.
00:31:12.000 We have, you know, a bunch of Brooklyn.
00:31:14.000 We have a bunch of Manhattan.
00:31:15.000 We have a bunch of the Bronx where AOC is from.
00:31:18.000 We know.
00:31:18.000 And we have a bunch of Woodstock and all of this stuff.
00:31:21.000 There are a lot of places where I travel throughout the state where primarily you have conservatives.
00:31:28.000 People upstate in Oswego, there's a lot of conservatives up there.
00:31:33.000 In the outskirts around Buffalo and Rochester, you're going to see conservatives.
00:31:38.000 And I think that Democrats really are picking every conceivable way to try and maintain their stranglehold on this state, and they don't deserve it.
00:31:47.000 Of course.
00:31:48.000 They've done so poorly here.
00:31:49.000 They destroy us.
00:31:50.000 Of course.
00:31:51.000 Of course.
00:31:51.000 I mean, upstate New York.
00:31:52.000 I've been to a couple of country concerts many, many moons ago.
00:31:56.000 So, you know, in upstate New York, and I felt like I was in Texas.
00:32:00.000 I'm not kidding.
00:32:00.000 The people were so down home.
00:32:02.000 So upstate New York is a completely different beast than the city, and it should be reflected.
00:32:07.000 Absolutely.
00:32:08.000 All right.
00:32:08.000 I want to hit one last story.
00:32:10.000 Like the one minute we've got left.
00:32:11.000 Tucker Carlson got attacked by the New York Times.
00:32:15.000 What do we need to know?
00:32:16.000 What was his reaction?
00:32:18.000 Tucker Carlson apparently is racist, according to the New York Times.
00:32:22.000 And that's why he's so popular, despite there being remarkably little racism in this country.
00:32:28.000 Tucker Carlson got up there with a big smile and had a big laugh over it.
00:32:31.000 I have a lot of respect for that.
00:32:32.000 The New York Times just going after their opponents, you know, baselessly has become their new MO.
00:32:41.000 I mean, I believe that we have this for the live stream.
00:32:45.000 If we don't, I mean, it's, let me see if we can get up.
00:32:48.000 There it is.
00:32:49.000 It's on like, look at that smile holding up the A1 top of the fold from the New York Times.
00:32:56.000 Shocking part two.
00:32:57.000 Why is this on the why is this front page news?
00:33:00.000 We have so much going on in the world.
00:33:02.000 You know, we have war in Ukraine.
00:33:04.000 We have all of this stuff.
00:33:05.000 But apparently, cable news host is racist.
00:33:09.000 You're right.
00:33:10.000 And I mean, if you listen to the media, though, this is what they think.
00:33:13.000 They think that they're losing control of the narrative.
00:33:16.000 They're losing control of the levers of discourse and information flow.
00:33:20.000 And so he represents an existential threat.
