00:02:13.000President Trump met with Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, otherwise known as Meta.
00:02:19.000Then on Friday, President Trump had dinner with Justin Trudeau.
00:02:24.000All of this, by the way, around his threats of tariffs against Mexico and Canada and China.
00:02:34.000Turns out the tariff threats have worked, so much so that Justin Trudeau boarded his plane—well, they don't do Thanksgiving in Canada—boarded his plane the day after Thanksgiving to come down to basically get on his hands and knees and beg President Trump will not wreck the Canadian economy.
00:03:54.000of who is going to control the FBI. Now the FBI, interestingly enough, was actually not chartered by the FBI, even though it was given its name.
00:04:07.000In 1908, Attorney General Charles Bonaparte created the Bureau of Investigation, otherwise known as the BOI. It was an investigative force within the Department of Justice.
00:04:19.000Bonaparte hired 34 people, including some former Secret Service members, to work for the agency.
00:04:26.000In 1935, Congress gave it its current name, the FBI. Now, mind you, the FBI is part of the Department of Justice.
00:04:35.000It is part of the DOJ. And the FBI's authority comes from congressional statutes, executive orders, and code of federal regulations.
00:04:48.000It is a form of the DOJ. And President Trump sent another shockwave nominating Kash Patel to lead the FBI. Now, I have a lot to talk about the Kash Patel story because it is just phenomenal, enormous news, and it's going to require all of you in this audience To keep the pressure on your senators from Idaho, from Kansas, from South Dakota, from Arkansas, to make sure that Kash Patel is confirmed by the Senate.
00:05:17.000But early signs and early indicators are very good.
00:05:20.000But then the even bigger news, as if it was leading up, Zuckerberg, Trudeau, Kash Patel, and then boom, last night.
00:05:29.000Despite repeated proclamations, statements, and promises that he would not do this, Joe Biden gave a blanket pardon to his son, Hunter Biden.
00:05:41.000Now, it wasn't just a pardon for the crimes that he was convicted of.
00:05:46.000It was a blanket pardon going all the way back to 2014, which interestingly now covers all of the Ukrainian and the Chinese Communist Party activities that the Biden family was involved in.
00:05:59.000This comes while we're also seeing other left-wing billionaires like Reid Hoffman talking about fleeing the country.
00:06:06.000If these people did nothing wrong, why are they so worried about the government coming after them?
00:07:43.000Each, each of us is equal before the law.
00:07:46.000The American principle that no one is above the law was reaffirmed.
00:07:51.000In my administration, no one is above the law.
00:07:55.000Breaking news shows the president has discussed pardoning Hunter Biden with some of his closest aides, at least since Hunter Biden's conviction in June.
00:08:05.000They decided at the time that he'd publicly say he would not pardon him, even though it remained on the table.
00:08:12.000So basically, we're just going to lie.
00:08:14.000It is the same cabal That told you the vaccine was safe and effective.
00:08:21.000The same group of people that told you that you need to have six feet of social distancing.
00:08:26.000The same people that told you these early treatments like ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine were horse-paced and was going to kill you.
00:08:33.000The same people that told you the virus came from some wet market in Wuhan.
00:08:40.000Same people that told you that Vladimir Putin was going to march through Europe And he's the new Vladimir Putin that Ukraine is vital to American national security.
00:08:50.000The reason Trump won is because we don't trust any of these people.
00:08:55.000This is Corrine Jean-Pierre saying that no one is above the law.
00:08:59.000Play cut 31. The president believes no one is above the law.
00:09:04.000And the president met the moment talking about how no one is above the law here.
00:09:08.000Does the president have any intention of pardoning him?
00:09:12.000We've been asked that question multiple times.
00:09:27.000Earlier in the evening, the president released a statement reading in part, there has been an effort to break Hunter, who has been five and a half years sober, even in the face of unrelenting attacks and selective prosecution.
00:09:39.000In trying to break Hunter, they've tried to break me.
00:09:43.000And there's no reason to believe it will stop here.
00:09:48.000And just now, Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social account, quote, Don't you just love that they have to read his Truth Social word for word?
00:10:11.000If your approach to everyday aches and pains is to mask them, you know, feel better for a few hours only to have the pain return and then repeat the cycle all over again.

00:12:59.000What it would do is say that in the event the president pardons anyone in an investigation in which the president is a witness, a subject, or the target, those investigative files will all be turned over to the Congress.
00:13:11.000The Congress ought to know whether the president is using the pardon power To obstruct justice.
00:13:18.000The American people have a right to know.
00:15:46.000The Department of Justice and the FBI answer directly to the President of the United States.
00:15:53.000Woodrow Wilson Who won in a spoofy election in 1912 with a plurality but not a majority of votes against William Howard Taft and Teddy Roosevelt as Teddy Roosevelt was doing the Bull Moose party after he was upset and the direction that William Howard Taft went became president.
00:16:12.000Woodrow Wilson ushered in a new philosophical contagion You could call it a governmental virus into the American body politic.
00:16:24.000Woodrow Wilson believed that the form and the structure that the founding fathers put forward, the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch, those three co-equal branches of government with tension and with separation of powers, that was an antiquated model.
00:16:41.000Woodrow Wilson was the first president to vocally oppose And to speak against the founders and their intent for America.
00:16:52.000He said, we need to bring in and usher in a new way of governing.
00:16:57.000And that way he looked at was very similar to a John Dewey and Hegelian way of viewing history.
00:17:04.000But it was about creating bureaucracies that were not necessarily accountable to the executive, accountable to the legislative, but they're a council of experts.
00:17:17.000You see, Woodrow Wilson, being a college professor himself, saw this as an opportunity to be able to bring in the smart people to run government.
00:17:30.000Cass Sunstein is a modern equivalent as an inheritor of this belief.
00:17:35.000So Woodrow Wilson set up this 100-year detour away from the founder's vision of government.
00:17:46.000Over the last hundred years, we have seen more federal agencies be formed than Americans could list.
00:17:51.000In fact, I'm helping out with the presidential transition team wherever I'm needed, and I look at some of these agencies.
00:19:18.000Is the presidency a ceremonial role where you do ribbon cuttings, Christmas parties, host Little League baseball champions, bring the Super Bowl winner over and smile when the bureaucracy runs the government?
00:19:33.000Does it have real meaning in our country?
00:19:36.000That is the open question in front of the country right now, in front of what is going to happen with this new Trump administration.
00:19:43.000The secret police of the fourth branch of government is the FBI. The FBI is the enforcement arm of the administrative state.
00:19:55.000The FBI was never actually chartered by Congress.
00:19:59.000It started as a Bureau of Investigation, By Attorney General Charles Bonaparte and grew into now one of the most powerful organizations, one of the most unconstitutional organizations in American history.
00:20:16.000President Calvin Coolidge first appointed J. Edgar Hoover to the Bureau of Investigation in 1924. J. Edgar Hoover grew the Bureau of Investigation into The Leviathan that we know is the FBI today.
00:20:36.000J. Edgar Hoover, you have to look at this guy, and I'm not going to get into some of the alleged weird parts of his life, which are not even necessarily proven.
00:21:01.000To be in charge of a country's secret police for 37 years, you better believe that he had blackmail on almost every single elected leader.
00:21:11.000And that was a strategy that he embraced.
00:21:14.000He served under FDR, served under Truman, served under Dwight D. Eisenhower, served under JFK, served under Lyndon Baines Johnson, served under Richard Nixon.
00:21:27.000Hoover expanded the FBI beyond just crime fighting, and he led the charge to make the FBI an intel agency.
00:21:36.000The FBI has never, and still to this day, does not have a congressional mandate to collect intelligence on the American people.
00:21:46.000It has a mandate to enforce laws that are currently on the books.
00:21:50.000And you can make a good argument, why does the FBI even exist in the first place?
00:21:55.000It was not part of the founders' vision to have a standing Red Guard that could be deployed against political dissidents, which of course is what it does today.
00:22:08.000When it comes to nutrition, we want what's best for ourselves and our family, including our four-legged family too.
00:22:15.000You've all heard me talk about how amazing Rough Greens has been and how remarkable it has been for dogs like mine.
00:22:21.000Well, from the makers of Rough Greens now comes Meow Greens.
00:22:24.000That's right, Meow Greens for your cats because all pet food is dead food.
00:22:29.000Dogs and cats have completely different nutritional needs.
00:22:33.000But what they have in common is they need the live vitamins, probiotics, enzymes, omega oils, and antioxidants found in Rough Greens nutritional products.
00:22:42.000Whether you have a dog, cat, or both, bring their dead food back to life while improving digestion, coats, breath, energy, and so much more.

00:24:27.000And look, we saw it with Matt Gaetz already, and I think I was actually surprised how quickly that happened.
00:24:32.000To me, Kash Patel, and I don't say this lightly, is the most dangerous nominee that we've seen yet to our democracy.
00:24:41.000I mean, you might think that having Pete Heggs is running the military is a greater level of danger because of his lack of experience or Tulsi Gabbard at intelligence.
00:24:47.000But just as far as You know, the threats to democracy that we were warning about before the election.
00:24:53.000And Kash Patel was a key player inside the Trump White House pushing for and orchestrating the coup attempt in 2020. He was trying to completely take control of the Justice Department at the time.
00:25:09.000He was Trump's top lieutenant who was willing to do anything and advance any lie in service of his attempt to overturn that last election.
00:25:17.000To such a degree that there were many people that were Trump appointees in 2020 who were standing in the breach and saying, no, not Kash Patel.
00:25:29.000You cannot put Kash Patel as a temporary leader of the Justice Department, etc.
00:25:36.000And so, you know, we'll see what happens in the Senate, but if Trump had people around him that were quasi-loyalists that were like, that guy's too far, who knows what that'll mean for the Senate.
00:25:46.000Now, if you listen carefully, they're talking about the independence of the FBI. Wait, hold on.
00:25:53.000Either the FBI falls under the president's jurisdiction or it does not.
00:25:58.000The FBI should not operate as an intelligence gathering service on the American people, which, by the way, is completely and totally unconstitutional.
00:26:08.000The FBI has used the Patriot Act to spy on your text messages, to look at your emails, to go after completely innocent people and be this massive information gathering service where our freedoms and our liberties evaporate.
00:26:22.000But more importantly, Kash Patel will reform the FBI and say, get out of DC and go after child sex traffickers.
00:26:28.000Why are there thousands of FBI agents at desks every single day?
00:26:42.000Don't go after political opponents just because they have Trump Facebook posts that you don't like.
00:26:49.000What you are witnessing and what is about to unfold is a 100-year clash and battle of the Wilsonian view of government versus the founders.
00:27:12.000Well, as we experienced a monumental and historic win on November 5th in the world of politics, we are also experiencing win after win in the economic space.
00:27:21.000There is a Main Street revival taking place.
00:27:24.000Small businesses across this country are being flooded With traffic and new consumers, as consumers are rejecting the mainstream retailers that they feel have really abused them for a long time, lectured them about social issues and acted more like progressive political organizations rather than functioning companies.
00:27:43.000And so small businesses in America are feeling energized after a Trump win, which was desperately needed.
00:27:48.000And on Black Friday, they saw your support.
00:27:52.000On Small Business Saturday, they certainly did.
00:27:56.000The small businesses of our great country deserve your support.
00:28:01.000We've got incredible deals on Public Square from businesses that are made with clean ingredients, non-toxic ingredients like Alpinia Labs that's phenomenal at home care and essentials.
00:28:12.000We've got great meat from companies like Biltong Barron.
00:28:16.000We've got new watches if you're looking to buy a gift for a husband or A brother as you head into the Christmas shopping season from brands like the 2A Watch Company.
00:28:26.000Charlie, there is a new Renaissance era at our doorstep if we're willing to run into it.
00:28:32.000And I really sense that over the past few months, the frustrations that consumers have felt and the business owners have felt is now starting to experience a little bit of a light and tunnel as Trump won and as we're heading into what should be a very bright next four years for our small business economy.
00:28:48.000So, All is good over here at Public Square, and we're encouraging consumers to continue supporting businesses that make the American community strong, and they can do that at PublicSquare.com.
00:28:58.000So we're seeing more and more brands reject DEI like Walmart.
00:29:02.000What do you think is behind that, Michael?
00:29:03.000You seem to have been on the cutting edge of that for years.
00:29:08.000Number one is that they have recognized the writing on the wall.
00:29:11.000Consumers do not want to buy what they have been selling.
00:29:14.000So whether that's Walmart, Harley-Davidson, John Deere, Target, Bud Light, you're seeing brand after brand try to recover From their disastrous choices they've made out of corporate boardrooms over the past few years related to DEI and ESG. So in large part, it's because of you.
00:29:32.000It's you, Charlie, that have pushed back and have tried to pull the alarm to alert folks of what's going on in our economy.
00:29:39.000The other thing I would say is that I think the political wins of the past few weeks have also communicated a very loud message that it's probably not ideal to go against the majority of the country.
00:29:54.000Just like there was a clear mandate on November 5th with the win of not only the Electoral College but also the popular vote, I think you're starting to recognize a lot of companies seeing that there's an overall zeitgeist happening right now.
00:30:07.000And if a company wants to stay in good graces with the American consumer, they cannot continue to cater to a tiny fringe majority or minority of the country, while the majority is actually wanting for these brands to embrace meritocracy again, excellence again, patriotism again.
00:30:27.000It's a little bit of a push from American consumers that have made it clear through boycotts and through shifting their purchases.
00:30:33.000And I also think there's a writing on the wall displayed through our political environment that makes it clear to the Walmarts of the world that what they were embracing in 2020, 2021, 2022 is not popular with the American people.
00:30:47.000And it took a wide cultural awakening through this election to finally communicate that loud and clear.
