00:00:30.000Are you a high school student or a college student and you want to get involved in fighting for freedom?
00:00:35.000Metaphorically fighting, of course, go to turningpointusa, tpusa.com.
00:01:02.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:10.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:50.000It was not rooted in facts, but they did much better than the Trump impeachment team.
00:01:55.000The Trump impeachment team, specifically, I think one of Trump's lawyers by the name of Bruce Castor, gave one of the most bizarre speeches I've ever heard in the history of law.
00:02:06.000And I don't really do much law history, quite honestly, but I've never seen a speech quite like it.
00:02:12.000If you've ever seen my cousin Vinny, that's as close as we're going to get.
00:02:19.000When I was watching this video, and I'll play it for you right now, he just had some very strange remarks and sentences.
00:02:27.000It almost felt like a bad lip reading video, is what it felt like.
00:02:31.000You guys, if you're familiar with bad lip reading, it is when you take someone that gave a speech and you impose other words over it.
00:02:39.000He talked about how he got lost in the halls of Congress, about how the people of Nebraska are wonderful.
00:02:46.000And here's just some free advice coming from a non-lawyer, someone that does not have a law degree.
00:02:54.000Don't ever compliment the prosecution.
00:02:58.000Could you imagine if Alan Dershowitz, when he was defending O.J. Simpson, came up and said, What a wonderful opening statement against my client who you're trying to accuse of murder.
00:03:10.000This guy starts his remarks by complimenting the prosecution.
00:03:15.000I would imagine that you could get in trouble for that as a lawyer by, I don't know, I've never heard of that.
00:06:31.000Now, mind you, most of law is reading and writing.
00:06:36.000Very little when it comes to law is this.
00:06:41.000And even less when it comes to law, especially, and this is what a litigator would do, is performing in front of 100 senators who all have political interests at heart and performing in front of tens of millions of people.
00:06:59.000You don't talk about how you got lost in Congress.
00:07:01.000Again, I don't mean to, this is not an attack on President Trump.
00:07:04.000It just so happens this guy, I think, set the cause back.
00:07:08.000Republicans yesterday, Bill Cassidy, who inexplicably then voted in defense, no, in favor, I'm sorry, in favor of the constitutionality of this exercise, partially because I think that this was one of the most meandering arguments I've seen in quite some time.
00:07:25.000And I've heard reports, and I believe they are true, that President Trump was livid at the speeches that were given.
00:07:33.000Now, that's not to say that Trump's now going to be convicted because of it.
00:07:37.000It's just, let's just look at this as the best of a seven-game series, right?
00:07:43.000It's the best of a seven-game series, the NBA Finals or the World Series, and you lost the first day.
00:07:51.000And of course, the Democrats who are funded by Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese and all of these people, they're going to have the best videos, the best arguments, the best one-liners.
00:10:10.000It's not going to get close to 67 votes.
00:10:13.000Every one of the 100 senators knows that.
00:10:16.000Every one of the House managers knows that.
00:10:18.000But this is political theater because rather than address the real problems, the real challenges we have in this country, rather than focus on getting kids back in school and getting tens of millions of Americans back to work, the Democrats want a week of just political theater raging at Donald Trump.
00:10:38.000And if I was a Democrat, which I'm not, and my ideas were unpopular and they weren't going to work, and I have been warning against the rise of white nationalism, I would be doing exactly what the Democrats are doing if I actually didn't care about the well-being of the country.
00:11:00.000If I cared about the well-being of the country, I wouldn't be doing that.
00:11:03.000But if I just cared about my political future and if I cared about holding on to committee position, then that's absolutely what I would be doing.
00:11:16.000You know how many constructive things could be happening for our country right now?
00:12:14.000So now you have Jamie Raskin and you have the House impeachment managers that realize that they could not raise the billions of dollars to run the uninterrupted cable television advertisements to reinforce a narrative that helps them politically.
00:12:30.000Half the country are actually domestic terrorists.
00:12:35.000That's really what their argument is here.
00:12:37.000They know that it's not constitutionally sound.
00:12:41.000They know that Trump will not be able to be barred from office based on what's happening here.
00:12:49.000Instead, they're purchasing free television time for a political aim.
00:12:55.000Instead of purchasing it, they're just giving these speeches under the auspice of constitutional impeachment with the Chief Justice not even being present.
00:13:06.000As the China virus spreads across the globe in the spring of 2020, Noble Gold's investors flocked to precious metals as a financial safeguard.
00:13:14.000Gold is up more than 30% since March of 2020.
00:13:17.000Silver has surged more than 50% over the same time period, reflecting on the correlation among precious metals during times of financial volatility.
00:13:26.000But providing financial protection is not only the role that precious metals play in this fight.
00:13:30.000Gold and silver nanoparticles are essential part of virus research and prevention.
00:13:35.000As the China virus mutates, science will have to adapt its prevention methods accordingly and precious metals will continue to stay in demand.
00:13:42.000As for me, I will continue to trust the team at Noble Gold, great people, a leading authority in precious metals industry.
00:13:47.000If you have the kinds of questions I do about your financial mix and how to best leverage precious metals as a hedge against market uncertainty, I encourage you to visit NobleGoldInvestments.com and call their team for a free gold guide.
00:13:59.000Call Noble Gold today and tell them Charlie Kirk sent you for a special gift with all qualifying transfers.
00:14:04.000Go to noblegoldinvestments.com, tell them Charlie Kirk sent you.
00:14:10.000Doug Nagus, he just made an inherent contradiction in his argument.
00:14:16.000So I hope that the Trump defense team will come up and say Congressman Negus made a huge mistake.
00:14:25.000So Congressman Negus came up and he said, well, President Trump was saying this for months.
00:14:34.000If your argument is that what he said for months then resulted in violence on the sixths, why was there no violence in November or December?
00:14:47.000If those words then incite violence, why didn't they have a track record of inciting violence before?
00:14:57.000Maybe the sixth was different because there were paramilitary people that showed up that didn't even go to the rally with instigators there.
00:15:09.000The argument there that, well, his words were being said for months.
00:15:13.000Now, the argument they're making is that it had a culmination effect.
00:15:16.000I think that's a very, very weak argument.
00:15:19.000Political speech is protected by the First Amendment.
00:15:23.000The threshold for incitement, as Alan Dershowitz and Ken Starr have both said, is incredibly high.
00:15:31.000The threshold for incitement, Alan Dershowitz said, it would have taken Trump to actually be on the steps of the Capitol and be specific about the points of action that needed to be taken.
00:15:43.000And then those actions had to be taken specifically.
00:15:48.000Not someone two miles away that had a rally that was peaceful.
00:15:54.000No one doubts, by the way, that what happened at the ellipse was peaceful.
00:16:06.000And even while the president was speaking, some of the police barricades were already being broken.
00:16:12.000The timeline speaks for itself in that way.
00:16:16.000Now, I know a lot of people are exhausted with this impeachment debate already.
00:16:21.000It seems as if we just got through this with the Ukrainian phone call impeachment with Shmerik Shimarela.
00:16:32.000And I understand that a lot of people are tired and they want this to go away.
00:16:39.000But I hope you understand that this is actually not about impeachment.
00:16:45.000What's happening right now is a debate over the next Patriot Act.
00:16:51.000What's happening right now is a debate over whether or not we should create a 53rd domestic terrorist law on the books, whether or not we should give the Department of Homeland Security and our domestic agencies power to infiltrate, monitor, suppress political groups here domestically.
00:17:14.000That's actually what's happening right now.
00:17:16.000That's the debate that's happening on the House floor.
00:17:19.000We know the result of this impeachment.
00:17:21.000What the Democrats are really doing is they're trying to win public approval over for the next Patriot Act.
00:17:28.000Glenn Greenwald has warned about this at length.
00:17:32.000And the Democrats want this for a very specific reason.
00:17:36.000The Democrats want to establish the next Patriot Act because then they'll be able to say we actually got something done.
00:17:58.000Republicans were just 32,000 votes shy of a House majority in 2020.
00:18:06.00032,000 votes shy of Nancy Pelosi not being Speaker of the House.
00:18:16.000Claudia Tenney, Republican from upstate New York, just won her race.
00:18:21.000Republicans made historic gains in the House of Representatives.
00:18:26.000Democrats also know that the midterm after a presidential, especially when that presidential was narrow, which it was, is awful for the incumbent party, especially with tough economic conditions and even more so with a president who is not exactly charismatic and with very little following.
00:19:44.000And that if the Democrats can now all of a sudden become the party that gives the appearance that we will protect you against the most evil people out there, because that's half the country, then Democrats think they could be successful in 2022 despite the almost guaranteed Republican avalanche that's about to come.
00:20:14.000Now, what might interrupt that is universal mail and voting, social media tech censorship, or also a new Patriot Act that suppresses freedom of speech, that keeps conservatives and grassroots patriots in a state of fear where they say, I don't want to get engaged or involved.
00:20:35.000That's what's actually happening right now.
00:20:44.000This is a policy debate over whether or not we should dramatically expand the surveillance state in our country, whether or not we should be able to spy on what they call dangerous Christian nationalists.
00:21:00.000This is a debate whether or not we should be able to give people like John Brennan from the Central Intelligence Agency more funding, more ability, and more capacity than they had previously.
00:21:18.000Brad Schneider has introduced a bill to Congress that has said that he believes that domestic political groups should be more surveilled and infiltrated.
00:21:27.000The problem is that they never define what radical actually means.
00:21:33.000Alan Dershowitz is a liberal Democrat.
00:21:37.000Glenn Greenwald is a liberal Democrat.
00:21:41.000Both of them are in full agreement that what happens from this point forward in regards to the security state will determine the future of American political discourse.
00:21:56.000And what's so stunning is that typically this form of surveillance, this form of infiltration, this form of heavy-handed police state activity almost always was used traditionally against liberals and against socialists.
00:22:28.000We are now going to use domestic spying abilities, drone reconnaissance, facial recognition, infiltration strategies, audio interception practices against Christian nationalists, against libertarians.
00:22:50.000Liberty is for everybody, at least it's supposed to be.
00:22:54.000You have the liberty to be a socialist in America.
00:22:57.000You have the liberty to have really awful and bigoted ideas.
00:23:02.000The Constitution is a framework that allows you protection against government tyranny.
00:23:11.000The Founding Fathers knew that tyranny was inevitable if they didn't put up firewalls and protections and measures to prevent that tyranny from being used against its citizens.
00:23:23.000The tyranny of suppressing freedom of speech, the tyranny of taking your firearms away, the tyranny of spying on you, the tyranny of quartering soldiers in your home, the tyranny of being locked into prison without a trial, the tyranny of not even knowing what you're charged with.
00:23:38.000So instead, the Constitution comes from a perspective of what's called negative rights, where instead the Constitution does not tell you what your rights are.
00:23:51.000It's one of the biggest lies that our kids are taught in school.
00:23:54.000The Constitution does not tell you that you have a right to life.
00:24:01.000It recognizes that right was there before the document was written, given to you by God, but instead, the Constitution says you have a right not to have that right taken away from you.
00:24:12.000That's what makes the U.S. Constitution different.
00:24:16.000And you have a right to not be spied on.
00:24:20.000You have a right not to be monitored, infiltrated for having a different political opinion.
00:24:28.000The Democrats, in collusion with the intelligence agencies, are now putting on a show trial, and they know the way it's going to end.
00:24:39.000But the real reason they're doing this is to try to win public opinion to increase the surveillance state.
00:24:48.000Senator Rand Paul has warned against this for quite some time, and we are going to need to build a broad-based coalition to push back against this.
00:25:00.000Just how Americans were okay with mask mandates, shutting down schools, and shutting down businesses.
00:25:06.000When you are afraid, you're easier to control.
00:25:08.000When you're afraid, you're more likely to give up your freedom and liberty.
00:25:12.000And if they keep people afraid and they keep people in a state of fear, then why wouldn't we pass a series of laws that treats half the country like al-Qaeda?
00:25:25.000Joe Nagoos, who is the Congressman from Colorado, played a montage of a lot of people who said, Well, Trump told me to come on the 6th.
00:25:47.000But even more than that, he told you to show up at the ellipse.
00:25:52.000If all of a sudden the standard of guilt is a promotion of an event that then goes wrong, well, then Alexandria Kazi-Cortez should be going to prison sometime soon.
00:26:55.000But what the impeachment managers are not doing, what the Trump team is now going to have to get into the details, whether they like it or not.
00:27:03.000They lost the constitutional argument yesterday because they were talking about how decent people are in Nebraska and whatever Castor was saying.
00:27:10.000This kind of folksy, I get lost in the halls, you know, kind of strange routine.
00:27:20.000Now you're going to get into the details.
00:27:22.000Show the video of when the police line was first broken.
00:27:25.000Show the president saying that he said patriotic and peaceful.
00:27:30.000Show the fact that there were pipe bombs planted the night before.
00:27:45.000If this was brewing all the way into December, according to House impeachment managers, then this was premeditated and not spontaneous.
00:27:54.000If this was actually about impeachment, which it isn't, then they would be talking about the specifics of how incitement in the criminal code was violated.
00:28:14.000Do you notice that they're not citing any criminal code?
00:28:17.000At least in my portion that I've watched.
00:28:20.000Instead, it's this overarching thing: Trump called a rally, Trump said some things we don't like, then people came and rioted to the Capitol.
00:28:32.000It's not the way incitement works at all.
00:28:36.000But how will the House defense team answer to the point that there was over 150 people that were part of groups, three percenters, oath keepers, that were wearing military gear, gas masks on?
00:28:58.000The Washington Post has said this is looking less and less like a spontaneous rally and more like a pre-planned attack.
00:29:05.000They're also going to have to reconcile and explain John Sullivan, the BLM Incorporated activist that disguised himself as a Trump supporter.
00:29:14.000By no means was that a majority of people there, but he did play a role.
00:29:21.000This is a lot more nuanced and complicated than the narrative that the House impeachment managers are portraying.
00:29:29.000The narrative they're portraying is as if Trump held a deployment.
00:29:34.000That Trump had a training session with specific marching orders.
00:29:40.000You cannot convict somebody based on political speech that could be interpreted any single anyway.
00:29:46.000That's not the way our justice system works.
00:29:49.000Maybe in the Soviet Union it works that way, but our system presumes innocence, and you have to have beyond a reasonable doubt before you convict somebody.
00:30:00.000I hope the Trump impeachment managers step up.
00:30:03.000This is a made-for-Hollywood production.
00:30:09.000I still get excited to get a package in the mail, don't you?
00:30:12.000Well, after spending some time on the phone the other day speaking with Dr. Douglas Howard, the doctor who formulated Balance and Nature's blend of fruits and veggies, he sent me my first month's supply.

00:31:21.000Just Democrats uniting America every day trying to impeach a private citizen.
00:31:26.000That was really nice as it was as it lasted.
00:31:30.000There's a lot of stories I want to get into.
00:31:32.000One of the Castro brothers, Joaquin Castro, is speaking.
00:31:36.000He's actually doing a pretty good job for his cause, I have to say.
00:31:39.000I mean, I disagree with everything he's saying, but just from a presentation standpoint, he's very factual, at least within the realms of the facts that fit his narrative.
00:31:48.000And I think that I hope the Trump impeachment team steps up.
00:31:52.000These guys have been coached and they're prepared, no doubt.
00:31:54.000I think their case is weak, and I think the facts that they're choosing are incredibly misleading, incomplete, and put forth a narrative that is destructive for the country.
00:32:03.000With that being said, I think they're actually the presentation they're giving, just from an objective analysis, has so far exceeded my expectations, let alone, you know, just my expectations were very low.
00:32:18.000So I want to get to a couple stories here.
00:32:34.000So, yes, we are a subscriber to the New York Times only because I do the opposition research.
00:32:39.000That's why you guys help us out here at charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:32:44.000And so I've made it a point to kind of poke some fun and some tough love towards the French.
00:32:56.000This is of no, I mean, no offense to any people that are watching this in France.
00:33:00.000And if you're watching it, please email me, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:33:03.000I'm sure that there's some wonderful people in France.
00:33:07.000And but France has been a focal point and a chief exporter of some of the most disastrous and destructive ideas to the American Republic over the last couple decades.
00:33:27.000And so I read this article in the New York Times.
00:33:30.000It says, in simmering race and gender struggle, France blames the U.S. ideas.
00:34:01.000It says that Emmanuel Macron says that certain social science theories entirely imported from the United States are an existential threat to France.
00:34:14.000So there's a couple different ways that we can take this.
00:34:18.000The first way that we could take it is that our universities have become so rotten that even the French want nothing to do with them.
00:34:29.000But the more accurate takeaway is where did these ideas come from in the first place?
00:34:36.000Who has actually been the chief exporter of the ideas of postmodernism and gender and race struggle?
00:34:50.000France is now going to have to live under the very ideas that they exported to our country.
00:34:59.000Back in the 1960s, a philosopher by the name of Jacques Derrida came to Yale and introduced a series of pieces of literature, books, and lectures around the idea of postmodernism and deconstructionism.
00:35:16.000Jacques Derrida argued that there is no such thing as absolute truth, that the way that we view indigenous tribes and everything is always painted from a colonialist pro-Western picture.
00:35:27.000Now, some of it might be a fun thought experiment while you're a freshman in college, but it's all vapid.
00:35:48.000They paired up nicely with the German Frankfurt School philosopher, Herbert Marcuse, who's a Marxist.
00:35:58.000And it all just kind of got blended together into what is now known as the garbage heap that is higher education in our country.
00:36:07.000But if you go even all the way back to the French Revolution, it's the French Revolution that argued for liberty, equality, not equality under the law, and fraternity.
00:36:19.000The French Revolution, brought forward by people like Robespierre and the Jacobins, which led the way for Napoleon Bonaparte after the French Revolution.
00:36:33.000The ideas that France has always been built on are not the ideas of in God be trust and e pluribus unum and liberty.
00:36:41.000Their idea of liberty is different than our idea of liberty.
00:36:44.000Instead, their ideas are the ones that got launched here, deteriorated our country, and now they're getting launched back to France and France is blaming us.
00:36:56.000And what's so fascinating about this is that France says, well, we don't really focus on race and gender very much here.
00:37:19.000We're so wealthy and we have so much opportunity.
00:37:22.000It's hard to convince a family who's earning $130,000 a year and has a couple kids that the country is a complete garbage heap.
00:37:29.000They're like, yeah, there's some problems, but my kids got to get to school.
00:37:32.000And I think the system generally works for me.
00:37:35.000So then we reintroduce these postmodernist ideas, which is class struggle, black against white, woman against man, trans against everybody, rich versus poor, constantly dividing, thanks to Michelle Foucault and Jacques Derrida, which is just as France as Bordeaux, okay?
00:38:51.000But religion is the reason we have a society at all.
00:38:55.000The ideas of the Bible are a reason, is the reason why the entire West exists.
00:39:00.000You want to know France why all of a sudden your country is deteriorating under these ideas of critical race theory?
00:39:07.000It's because you have one of the lowest church attendance rates in the entire world.
00:39:11.000As soon as people stop going to church, they're going to start finding something to replace it.
00:39:16.000They're going to need to replace that vertical relationship with something.
00:39:20.000And so France, I just, I love this story on just so many different levels because it's just such an unbelievably ironic twist that now France, who has perfected the exporting of these ideas, is now blaming our country for them bringing them back in.
00:39:40.000And it will be the downfall of Europe.
00:39:42.000Europe's already in a downfall for a variety of different ways.
00:39:47.000You're seeing what they're doing to our children.
00:39:50.000One thing that when you study totalitarians and you study authoritarians, they always try to turn their parents, the kids against the parents.
00:40:32.000The fact that the defense cannot raise an objection when something pathologically untrue is submitted as evidence goes to show this is not a trial.
00:40:43.000And the Trump impeachment managers should treat it like the Trump defense team, I'm sorry, should treat it like that.
00:40:50.000For example, Eric Swalwell, who had a relationship with Fang Fang, said, he came out and he said that Donald Trump said that dead people voted and nothing else more.
00:41:24.000The House impeachment managers are now saying, well, it's less about what was said on January the 6th, but now it's an overarching multi-month incitement campaign around a lie.
00:41:38.000You see what's really happening here, don't you?
00:41:42.000They want to suppress and stop all conversation around voter integrity in the future.
00:41:51.000Their argument is now, if you talk about the problems with mail and ballots like Jimmy Carter, if you talk about signature verification issues, if you talk about people that are on the voter rolls that shouldn't be, if you talk about granny farming like the New York Times did,
00:42:06.000if you talk about how developmentally disabled people have their ballots stolen from them, like a whistleblower said in Wisconsin, which was never followed up on, if you talk about how in Nevada, the Nevada Native Project, they were giving cash for ballots in front of Joe Biden for president buses, if you talk about how there was a 1,774% increase in voter registration from 90-plus-year-olds in Pennsylvania, then you're actually inciting insurrection against the country.
00:43:13.000That if you question everyone getting a ballot, dead, alive, foreign, whatever, citizen, funded by the government, then you're actually contributing to the downfall of the country.
00:44:16.000Jamie Raskin himself was inciting violence against Trump supporters that happened at the Trump inauguration.
00:44:25.000But for them, the Democrats want to end a certain discussion in this country.
00:44:31.000They don't want you to ever question voter integrity ever again.
00:44:38.000That's the other part of what's happening right here.
00:44:40.000If you look between the lines and you listen carefully, they are trying to say, listen, if you question our voter registration practices, the way we do signature verification, if you question the way we do mail-in voting, then you're actually participating in a terrorist attack against the country.
00:45:02.000And it's not just that's not true, it's the opposite of the truth.
00:45:08.000It is a gaslighting projection tactic that is being used by the Democrats.
00:45:17.000Because they actually know the more people question this mail-in ballot nonsense, the more discovery there's going to be about issues surrounding it.
00:45:51.000At thinker.org, they summarize the key ideas from new and noteworthy nonfiction, giving you access to an entire library of great books in bite-sized form.
00:45:59.000Read or listen to hundreds of titles in a matter of minutes, from old classics like Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People to recent bestsellers like Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life.
00:46:38.000If this is a Soviet show trial, if there was a fair judge, would have thrown it out immediately.
00:46:45.000Can we go to the Laura Ingram cut, please?
00:46:47.000So, one of the things as I talked about, one of the tactics of the left, and if there's any parents watching here, understand the left wants to divide you from your children.
00:49:45.000She got punched and escorted away, though.
00:49:48.000And her daughter then goes on television smugly and arrogantly, being like, Yeah, my mom is basically a bad person.
00:49:57.000This is how civilizations disintegrate.
00:50:01.000And for parents out there, listen very carefully.
00:50:06.000There is a cultural and educational push to turn you and your kids against each other, more your kids against you.
00:50:16.000It's happening through a variety of different ways.
00:50:19.000And for kids out there, students that are listening, don't fall into it.
00:50:24.000For your parents' sake and your own, you always must honor your parents.
00:50:28.000But they're doing this as a way to try and create an almost virtue-signaling moral high ground.
00:50:37.000There's another story here that connects to this, and I kind of want to frame it.
00:50:41.000So there's the story of this woman in San Francisco who she's now in charge of the San Francisco Renaming Committee to rename all of these schools in San Francisco.
00:50:56.000And her job is to go tell everyone about how racist Abraham Lincoln is and George Washington is.
00:53:05.000Who was the man that signed a moratorium of new slaves coming into the United States 20 years after the ratification of the Constitution, written primarily by James Madison?
00:53:28.000And to use the quote from the Bible, he was a righteous man, blameless amongst his contemporaries.
00:53:37.000Thomas Jefferson was surrounded by slave apologists.
00:53:41.000He was moving the ball forward to the abolition of slavery.
00:53:45.000We are now renaming schools in San Francisco because they say Abraham Lincoln did not do enough for black lives.
00:53:54.000You mean like waging a bitter civil war, emancipating the slaves, and saying that we must now live up to our ideals of all men being created equal?
00:54:04.000You see, only the left, because they don't believe in biblical wisdom, they believe in this secular, relativistic, prideful, self-centered, narcissistic, petulant worldview that everyone who came before me except Vladimir Lenin, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Karl Marx were a bunch of trash.
00:54:23.000Everyone who came before me did nothing but make mistakes.
00:54:26.000Do you understand how self-centered you must be to believe something like that?
00:54:30.000You probably go to university to believe something like that.
00:54:34.000Where in the 1980s or even the 1970s, we used to teach children, you're the problem, America is wonderful.
00:54:40.000Now we teach children, America's the problem, you are wonderful.
00:54:45.000So now we have these 30-year-olds tearing down schools all across the country.
00:54:48.00030-year-olds, who's in charge of the state of the renaming committee.
00:54:52.000The examples she was using are not even factual.
00:54:57.000I wanted to get into this story deeper, which is from the Daily Mail.
00:55:01.000And it says, woke San Francisco school board president, 30 years old, defends plan to rename schools which honor racist leaders despite banning decisions on incorrect Wikipedia articles.
00:55:15.000So the name of our schools and our history is now based solely on Wikipedia and not even correct Wikipedia sources, incorrect Wikipedia sources.
00:55:25.000She argued that we need to rename a school by James Russell Lowell, who's a poet, saying that he did not want black people to vote.
00:55:37.000However, this claim is pathologically false.
00:55:40.000And scholarly articles assert that Lowell, quote, unequivocally advocated giving the ballot to the recently freed slave.
00:55:46.000She also wanted to rename Apollo Revere School, saying that, citing an article from the History Channel website.
00:55:54.000However, members alleged that Revere's military activities were tied to the conquest of the Penobiscot Indians, which is not true.
00:56:04.000Or James Lick, who resided in San Francisco, was also deemed racist after members failed to critically read an article about the famous 19th century businessman.
00:56:15.000The committee stated that Lick had funded a sculpture showing an American Indian lying at the feet of white men.
00:56:19.000However, in reality, Lick died 18 years before the sculpture was created and it was only partially funded by his estate after he died.
00:56:32.000You get 30-year-olds, Gabriella Lopez, who's the school board president, who, instead of reopening schools, instead of holding teachers accountable, instead of representing the people of San Francisco, her name is to go on, her job is to go on a renaming blitz throughout San Francisco.
00:56:55.000They are now renaming Abraham Lincoln George Washington School.
00:57:01.000I hope that they name something after her.
00:57:05.000And then one day they decide that she's an awful person and they no longer want it named after her.
00:57:11.000They're renaming the school from Teddy Roosevelt's name.
00:57:16.000And why don't we just get it over with?
00:57:17.000Why don't we impeach George Washington now that we're in the process of impeaching people that are no longer president?
00:57:25.000The guy who's in charge of this is a quote-unquote historian.
00:57:28.000I think that's probably a very loose description, Jeremiah Jeffers, Jeffries, the chairman in charge of renaming the schools after it was revealed that he refused to consult with them during the decision-making process.
00:57:44.000Abraham Lincoln High School is being renamed, and they are taking the statue down of Abraham Lincoln because they say he didn't adequately represent black lives.
00:58:05.000You can do whatever you want to the future.
00:58:07.000It's what Robespierre did in France, where he literally got rid of the traditional calendar, the Gregorian calendar, and put in a 10-day-a-week calendar.
00:58:18.000Mao Zedong did the exact same through his red guard in the little red book.
00:58:29.000History gives people the capacity to know things of which that are eternal.
00:58:34.000Totalitarians want nothing to do with that.
00:58:36.000And for Gabriella Lopez, who's now running the schools in San Francisco as the school board president, believes that she is such a better person than Teddy Roosevelt, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, not having the sort of wisdom to maybe compare them in the times of which they were in.
00:59:35.000Okay, the Patriot Act was passed right after 9-11.
00:59:40.000It was an act of Congress that created new capacity and ability for agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security, which was also created right after 9-11, to spy and surveil American citizens.
01:00:04.000The Patriot Act was a massive and significant overreach of government power.
01:00:14.000And I think almost everyone recognizes it except maybe Lindsey Graham and a couple other people who think that the Patriot Act was a good idea and they're not as concerned about civil liberties as those of us that understand the Constitution actually are.
01:00:45.000We're covering it because it's more about the impeachment.
01:00:49.000This is an attempt to destroy a conversation around voter integrity and also an attempt to try and lay the groundwork for the next surveillance state.
01:00:58.000In fact, Richard Blumenthal just said that.
01:01:00.000Richard Blumenthal was just interviewed.
01:01:35.000Our point is that the Democrats want to lay the groundwork for a new surveillance state while also suppressing any conversation in the future around voter integrity.
01:01:49.000Basically, they're trying to banish the Trump populist movement.
01:01:54.000This is them trying to kill any future political movement that is rooted in the ideas of stricter immigration, fair trade deals, challenging corporate interests, and ending the endless wars.
01:02:18.000I'm 14 years old and a freshman in high school.
01:02:21.000You should get involved with Turning Point USA.
01:02:22.000I'm sending you to our Turning Point team.
01:02:24.000One question: why isn't Jenna Ellis or Rudy's lawyers there?
01:02:28.000I do not know, but I do know that in impeachment, it's a different type of law.
01:02:31.000It takes litigators more than just lawyers, which are people that are more equipped to be able to argue in front of a court.
01:02:39.000But I'll be quite honest, they should have just had, they should have had Laura Ingram do this argument or someone that is in the business of language, basically in the business of language.
01:02:51.000A linguist is the word I'm looking for.
01:02:53.000Someone that is good at crafting arguments, someone that has sophisticated addiction, not the guy that was all over the place, meandering, complimenting the prosecution.
01:03:03.000Not exactly, you know, what I would be thrilled about.
01:03:09.000People who can put on a show and create a compelling narrative.
01:03:13.000You know who would have been great to have?
01:04:26.000Well, we did a Bitcoin episode yesterday.
01:04:28.000Is that Bitcoin episode up on the podcast feed?
01:04:31.000Everyone, check out that Bitcoin episode.
01:04:32.000If you didn't check it out, I explained in the best way I could with my limited knowledge of it, which is my limited knowledge is more than, I would say, more people that comment on it, what blockchain and what Bitcoin actually is.
01:04:45.000Mind you, I understand it can be a very, very complicated topic, to say the least.
01:05:15.000Just have to figure out if I have to move out of the state best, Peter.
01:05:18.000Well, first of all, the fact that your administration does not know what's happening in the Illinois State Board of Education means they got to get their act into gear.
01:05:24.000Secondly, Peter, I don't know if it'll impact private schools.
01:05:29.000And the piece of legislation that is still being, the piece of legislation that is still being debated in Illinois, you guys have got to get into action right now.
01:06:33.000Okay, let's get to another question here.
01:06:35.000Why now that Biden is president, is everything all of a sudden opening?
01:06:38.000Wasn't there supposed to be another lockdown or quarantine by now?
01:06:41.000Well, because they actually don't believe in the lockdowns, and maybe it was a tactic to destroy, or It was a plan to destroy Donald Trump and with it our economy in the short term so that they could be able to implement what other policy measures they did.
01:06:57.000Nail-in voting, massive trillion-dollar stimulus bills, keeping the schools closed, handouts to teacher unions, the deterioration of wealth, the rich people getting richer and the poor people getting poor.
01:07:21.000I know you have a right to be whichever party you want to be, but to denounce Lincoln and his actions and be a black Democrat politician isn't the smartest point.
