00:00:21.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:22.000 Here we go.
00:00:23.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:25.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:27.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:31.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:34.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:35.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:36.000 His spirit is love of this country.
00:00:38.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:00:43.000 Turning point USA.
00:00:44.000 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.
00:00:53.000 That's why we are here.
00:00:55.000 John Kerry is someone that has been in American politics longer than I have been alive.
00:01:02.000 John Kerry is someone that has been in a lot of different positions in life.
00:01:08.000 John Kerry used to visit college campuses in the Vietnam War, arguing for draft dodging and even burning draft cards he was associating himself with.
00:01:24.000 John Kerry married a very rich woman from the Heinz fortune.
00:01:29.000 That's right, every time you take some Heinz ketchup, you are funding John Kerry's empire.
00:01:36.000 John Kerry then became a senator for Massachusetts.
00:01:41.000 After that, John Kerry was a very, I don't want to say he's popular.
00:01:45.000 He was well known.
00:01:46.000 He ran for president then in 2004 against George W. Bush unsuccessfully.
00:01:53.000 John Kerry was then tapped to be Secretary of State after Hillary Clinton stepped down under Barack Obama.
00:02:02.000 And then John Kerry, who famously authored the Iran deal, is now the climate czar for Joe Biden.
00:02:15.000 John Kerry also has a difficulty riding a bike.
00:02:19.000 It's not his strongest skill.
00:02:23.000 In fact, I want to get that Trump tape on John Kerry because it's just Donald Trump at his best, unscripted, straight to the point, and living rent-free in John Kerry's head.
00:02:34.000 So there's a new story out about John Kerry saying that John Kerry continued to stay in touch with Iran, the theocratic dictatorship of Iran to undermine Israel and their sovereignty.
00:02:58.000 So there's been a lot of reaction from this.
00:03:01.000 But let's first go to cut 44 of John Kerry on Middle East policy.
00:03:06.000 Let's just get some more context here.
00:03:08.000 This is, if this story came out with anyone in the Trump administration, they would have resigned by now and there'd be indictments by next week.
00:03:18.000 They ruined Lieutenant General Michael Flynn's life for merely having a meeting with the Russian ambassador and Peter Struckstroke Smirk marched into the White House days after the new administration and entrapped like a predator, a hero to our country.
00:03:37.000 Play tape.
00:03:38.000 Kerry is also concerned about the Middle East, where he spent nine months trying to secure peace between the Israelis and Palestinians.
00:03:46.000 He said the President-elect's campaign pledge to move the U.S. Embassy to the disputed city of Jerusalem would inflame the Arab world. 0.73
00:03:54.000 You'd have an explosion, an absolute explosion in the region.
00:04:01.000 There will be no separate peace between Israel and the Arab world. 0.93
00:04:06.000 I want to make that very clear to all of you.
00:04:08.000 So, there's some context there.
00:04:10.000 And so, these clips are not in English, so we can't play them for you.
00:04:15.000 I think they're in Farsi.
00:04:17.000 I'm right with Farsi.
00:04:18.000 So, the reaction, Ted Cruz's reaction Cut 46.
00:04:23.000 So, here's what's happened: okay, John Kerry basically continued to play international diplomat, undermining U.S. foreign policy and Israel foreign policy with Iran.
00:04:33.000 Now, before I play Cut 46, there is a bizarre, inexplicable fascination that the American Democrat Party has with Iran. 0.58
00:04:43.000 Iran is ruled and governed by tyrants. 0.99
00:04:46.000 Now, I, unlike most Republicans and conservatives, will tell you the Iranian story correctly. 1.00
00:04:54.000 It's largely our fault that Iran is in the state that they're in. 0.92
00:04:58.000 I'm not going to do the saber-rattling John Bolton thing where I'm like, oh, we did the right thing. 0.91
00:05:03.000 No, no, no.
00:05:03.000 The agency involved with the British intelligence overthrew a democratically elected leader in Iran.
00:05:11.000 And we installed the Shah, reinstalled a sickly man who was unpopular, which then led the way for what is known, I think, as the White Revolution, which was the Ayatollah Khomeini and many others who brought in Islamic fundamentalism. 0.57
00:05:29.000 However, as I acknowledge that America made a mistake in that, that does not all of a sudden mean that we should pander to the current tyrants and dictators that run Iran that hate our values, want to wipe us off the face of the earth, and wipe Israel off the face of the earth. 0.98
00:05:44.000 Here's what Ted Cruz has to say: Look, he's absolutely right.
00:05:48.000 These allegations are deeply concerning.
00:05:51.000 Iran's foreign minister, Zarif, on tape, alleges that Kerry told him that Israel had carried out over 200 military strikes on Iranian forces in Syria.
00:06:04.000 If that's true, it is utterly disqualifying.
00:06:07.000 If that is true, it is criminal.
00:06:10.000 It is disclosing serious, sensitive, classified information about one of America's closest allies, the nation of Israel, to a virulently dangerous enemy of America and enemy of Israel.
00:06:31.000 Now, so John Kerry denies these allegations, but he was spreading and sharing classified information with the Iranian foreign minister.
00:06:42.000 Now, I'm not a big fan of Iranian leaders as is. 0.95
00:06:47.000 There's something so sneaky and snarky and awful about that Zarif guy, that Iranian foreign minister. 0.96
00:06:55.000 He is always taunting Americans. 0.79
00:06:58.000 He's always saying that our country is so structurally racist and unequal. 0.99
00:07:03.000 Meanwhile, they throw homosexuals off the top of ceilings, roofs, I should say. 0.97
00:07:12.000 That's what they, you know, let's get the clip actually of Akadimajad. 0.96
00:07:17.000 Akadi Mijad, he used to be kind of the PR spokesperson for the Iranian regime.
00:07:23.000 Then they realized the more that Akadimajad was talking, the less the West actually wanted to embrace Iran.
00:07:30.000 Akadimajad was famously asked, hey, how do you treat gay people in Iran?
00:07:35.000 We do not have gay people in Iran. 1.00
00:07:37.000 It's true. 1.00
00:07:37.000 We'll get the clip of it. 1.00
00:07:38.000 He said it to Western media.
00:07:42.000 We have a tape of Trump here.
00:07:43.000 Okay.
00:07:44.000 This is Donald Trump on John Kerry and struggling to ride a bike.
00:07:49.000 Just a little bit of fun, everybody.
00:07:50.000 Let's have a little lighthearted moment.
00:07:52.000 The negotiation.
00:07:52.000 Play tape.
00:07:54.000 He never got up.
00:07:55.000 They would tell him, we want this, we want this, we want this, and he'd sit there, and he'd agree to everything.
00:08:01.000 Sometimes you have to get up and walk.
00:08:03.000 He never got up and walked.
00:08:05.000 Once he rode his bicycle, remembered he was in an accident.
00:08:10.000 I promised at 73 years old, I said, I'll never be riding a bicycle.
00:08:14.000 He had the helmet, he had the names, the insignias all over.
00:08:18.000 He had insignias like, you know, like he was a 20-year-old great cyclist from France.
00:08:28.000 So that delayed him about two months.
00:08:30.000 They said he just got hurt in a bicycle accident.
00:08:32.000 What?
00:08:33.000 It's not a good accident, would you?
00:08:35.000 So I promised I wouldn't do that.
00:08:37.000 I might get hurt, but I'm not getting hurt riding a bicycle at the time.
00:08:42.000 But if you look at the Obama administration, ISIS was rampant.
00:08:47.000 I miss that, man.
00:08:48.000 It's a very serious issue with John Kerry.
00:08:50.000 We're going to dive deeper into it and the specifics of it.
00:08:54.000 There's a T-word that should be thrown around right now.
00:08:59.000 Look, for many of you that watch our live stream or our radio show, listen to our radio show, you know I talk about Relief Factor a lot.
00:09:06.000 And look, truth is, I know millions of people are in some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older, that can do it.
00:09:13.000 That's why I'm so impressed with Pete and Seth Talbot.
00:09:15.000 They are on a mission.
00:09:16.000 You've rarely seen this kind of focus and commitment.
00:09:19.000 Seriously, they recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their number of total happy customers in the next year.
00:09:26.000 And I believe they'll do it.
00:09:26.000 So here's the deal: if you're struggling with back, neck, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, or even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted only $19.95, about a dollar a day to see if we can get you out of pain.
00:09:38.000 So go to relieffactor.com.
00:09:40.000 That's relieffactor.com.
00:09:41.000 The Talbots are amazing people.
00:09:42.000 Check it out.
00:09:43.000 ReliefFactor.com.
00:09:47.000 Donald Trump predicted this.
00:09:48.000 I think it's Cut 53. 1.00
00:09:50.000 What I'd like to see with Iran, I'd like to see them call me.
00:09:53.000 You know, John Kerry speaks to them a lot.
00:09:56.000 John Kerry tells them not to call.
00:09:58.000 That's a violation of the Logan Act.
00:10:01.000 And frankly, he should be prosecuted on that.
00:10:03.000 But my people don't want to do anything that's only the Democrats do that kind of stuff.
00:10:09.000 You know, if it were the opposite way, they'd prosecute him under the Logan Act.
00:10:14.000 But John Kerry violated the Logan Act.
00:10:17.000 He's talking.
00:10:18.000 Violated the Logan Act.
00:10:20.000 He's right.
00:10:21.000 He's talking against the will of the U.S. government undermining foreign policy for what?
00:10:29.000 So here's a question.
00:10:32.000 Why is the Democrat Party so enamored with Iran?
00:10:37.000 What is it about Iran that they are obsessed about?
00:10:42.000 There's a lot of countries in the world.
00:10:43.000 Iran is not the wealthiest country. 0.82
00:10:46.000 They're not even a wealthy country. 0.99
00:10:47.000 In some ways, they're a third world country.
00:10:50.000 They have oil reserves, but so does Russia.
00:10:52.000 What is it about Iran that gives the Democrats and John Kerry such a power trip?
00:10:58.000 What is it about the former Persian Empire that they're obsessed about?
00:11:08.000 Well, the short answer is they have a lot in common with the Iranians. 1.00
00:11:12.000 They both hate America. 1.00
00:11:14.000 And so they work cooperatively to destroy the West and to destroy conservatives and to destroy the country.
00:11:21.000 They found an ally. 0.87
00:11:23.000 And Iran wants revenge for what America and British intelligence did many years ago.
00:11:30.000 But without that sort of interference from us, they never would have actually been dominating Iran from an Islamic fundamentalist standpoint.
00:11:41.000 So here's how this is the type of people we're dealing with. 0.74
00:11:45.000 Cut 55, Akhadimajad, says, we have no homosexuals in Iran. 0.66
00:11:49.000 This is him giving a speech, I believe, at Columbia University, if I'm not mistaken.
00:11:53.000 Play Cut 55. 1.00
00:11:57.000 In Iran, we don't have homosexuals like in Europe. 1.00
00:12:03.000 We don't have that in our country. 1.00
00:12:12.000 In Iran, we do not have this phenomenon.
00:12:16.000 I don't know who's told you that we have it.
00:12:20.000 John Kerry's best friend.
00:12:22.000 That's who the Democrats are obsessed with.
00:12:25.000 Again, it's not about values.
00:12:27.000 It's not about worldview.
00:12:28.000 They simply have found partners in the deconstruction of the West. 0.95
00:12:33.000 And Iran is happy to play along. 0.72
00:12:36.000 Also, the Democrats have always wanted to push back against Israel sovereignty. 0.73
00:12:42.000 And Iran, they are experts at that. 0.96
00:12:45.000 Let's go to Cut 49. 1.00
00:12:46.000 Is it still loading?
00:12:47.000 John Kerry at the Sabin Forum on Middle East policy, the Saban Sabin Forum.
00:12:52.000 Cut 49.
00:12:53.000 I've heard several prominent politicians in Israel sometimes saying, well, the Arab world's in a different place now. 0.89
00:13:01.000 We just have to reach out to them and we can work some things with the Arab world and we'll deal with the Palestinians.
00:13:06.000 No, no, no, and no. 0.98
00:13:10.000 I can tell you that reaffirmed even in the last week as I have talked to leaders of the Arab community.
00:13:16.000 There will be no advance and separate peace with the Arab world without the Palestinian process and Palestinian peace.
00:13:24.000 Everybody needs to understand that.
00:13:27.000 That is a hard reality.
00:13:30.000 Of course, he was terribly wrong.
00:13:31.000 The Abraham Accords were signed between the UAE, this is before Trump, between UAE, Israel, Bahrain, Sudan.
00:13:39.000 Historic peace in the Middle East brokered against John Kerry's predictions and his wishes.
00:13:46.000 Well, maybe it's actually not John Kerry's goal to have peace.
00:13:50.000 Maybe John Kerry wants a partnership. 0.89
00:13:54.000 Maybe John Kerry has been working for quite some time to release the Iranian economic might against the West. 0.86
00:14:06.000 If Iran gets a nuclear weapon, all of a sudden the entire geopolitical landscape changes. 0.51
00:14:13.000 Now, I am not someone who wants to just clamor for the drums of war against Iran.
00:14:17.000 I think that would be a huge mistake.
00:14:20.000 At the same time, undermining the peace process, which the goal should be peace and foreign policy, obviously, and we get peace through strength, as Ronald Reagan said, and Benjamin Franklin said it before him differently, should be the goal.
00:14:36.000 Will John Kerry be investigated?
00:14:38.000 Probably not.
00:14:39.000 Will John Kerry be called to testify?
00:14:42.000 Only if Republicans take back the House.
00:14:46.000 Do you know how much you need to save to have a comfortable retirement?
00:14:49.000 The average retirement savings for families, according to one recent study, is $255,000.
00:14:54.000 If you are using these averages as goals for your own retirement, let me be blunt.
00:14:57.000 Even $1 million won't be enough by the time you retire because of inflation.
00:15:01.000 Retirement is not one size-fits-all.
00:15:03.000 How much should you save depends on what kind of lifestyle you want to pursue after retirement?
00:15:07.000 But remember that inflation should be factored in.
00:15:10.000 The $1 million you saved 40 years ago is worth then less than half of that now.
00:15:14.000 So invest in assets that will store the value of your investment.
00:15:17.000 That's key to diversifying your portfolio.
00:15:19.000 And there's nothing better than gold.
00:15:21.000 I'm a believer in gold.
00:15:22.000 Did you know that if you invested $1 million in gold 40 years ago, you'd be setting on over $50 million today.
00:15:28.000 So think about it.
00:15:29.000 If you put $1,000 in gold today, how much will that be worth when you have grandkids?
00:15:33.000 That could afford any lifestyle you want.
00:15:35.000 I know you've got questions, and Noble Gold is a trustworthy resource for answers.
00:15:40.000 Contact a Noble Gold representative to learn more about making your saving a priority.
00:15:44.000 If you didn't start early, that's okay.
00:15:46.000 There's no time like today to get started and make sound financial decisions.

00:15:56.000 How do we actually take back the country politically?
00:16:00.000 Well, something a lot of us are focusing on is taking back the House of Representatives.
00:16:07.000 That should be a primary focus.
00:16:11.000 The most moderate projections showed that Republicans were supposed to lose seats this last election cycle back in November.
00:16:22.000 Now we see that the Democrats have a five-seat majority.
00:16:26.000 Is that right?
00:16:27.000 Five-seat, six-seat, six-seat.
00:16:30.000 It is one of the thinnest majorities in American House of Representatives history.
00:16:36.000 And Nancy Pelosi, she's going out just it is her battle of the bulge.
00:16:43.000 Let's put it that way.
00:16:44.000 Every artillery shell, every single mortar, you name it, she is going to fire it. 0.89
00:16:50.000 She doesn't care.
00:16:51.000 D.C. is a new state.
00:16:53.000 H.R. 1, HR-5.
00:16:55.000 She's like, if I'm going to go down, I'm going to go down with the most radical Congress in American history.
00:16:59.000 I don't care about governing the middle.
00:17:01.000 I don't care about committees.
00:17:02.000 I don't care about bill markups.
00:17:04.000 Let it fly.
00:17:07.000 And so how do we actually start to get questions of why is John Kerry running our climate policy?
00:17:13.000 Who's actually working for Joe Biden?
00:17:15.000 How do we take back these committees so we can have transparency on the executive branch?
00:17:20.000 You take back the House.
00:17:23.000 So yesterday was some really big news.
00:17:26.000 Some really big news because the census data got released.
00:17:32.000 The census is constitutionally required.
00:17:35.000 Every 10 years, there's a census that's done, and we just kind of take a tabulation of who's in our country and not.
00:17:40.000 Now, the big controversy that shouldn't have been a controversy, by the way, did you know that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the U.S., the Department of Commerce, not the Chamber of Commerce, the Department of Commerce does the census.
00:17:52.000 Wilbert Ross executed the census. 0.69
00:17:54.000 Now, we never should have counted illegals in our census. 0.96
00:17:58.000 I want you to think about this.
00:18:00.000 We counted foreign nationals illegally harbored in our country in our census data.
00:18:05.000 So this is where we redraw our maps every 10 years.
00:18:09.000 So every 10 years, your congressman or congresswoman could change.
00:18:13.000 And the way that we actually appropriate representation in Congress changes based on population.
00:18:19.000 Again, this is constitutionally required.
00:18:23.000 And the big takeaway, and I'm going to get into the specifics, first and foremost, was that almost every single state came in less than even the most moderate projections.
00:18:34.000 So for example, Florida, some were saying that, oh, Florida's going to get at least two seats, if not three, possibly four seats.
00:18:42.000 Florida's getting one new seat.
00:18:45.000 Colorado is getting one new seat.
00:18:48.000 California lost a seat.
00:18:51.000 Oregon is getting one new seat, which is hard to believe that Oregon gained population.
00:18:56.000 Montana is getting one new seat.
00:18:59.000 Illinois is losing a seat.
00:19:01.000 Michigan is losing a seat.
00:19:04.000 Ohio is losing a seat.
00:19:06.000 West Virginia is losing a seat.
00:19:08.000 Pennsylvania is losing a seat.
00:19:10.000 And New York is losing a seat.
00:19:12.000 Now, what does West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan all have in common?
00:19:15.000 Those four seats, those four states that are losing a seat.
00:19:17.000 Trump won them surprisingly and historically.
00:19:20.000 Maybe there's something to this idea of losing population in the industrial Midwest and wanting someone who's going to reinvigorate it.
00:19:27.000 Do you hear what I'm saying, Republicans?
00:19:30.000 North Carolina gaining a seat because New Yorkers have decided to go bring their metropolitan values down to Asheville and Raleigh.
00:19:39.000 And Texas is the big winner, two new seats.
00:19:43.000 So what does this mean for taking back the House?
00:19:46.000 Let's start with Montana.
00:19:48.000 The governor of Montana is Greg Gianforte.
00:19:52.000 The House in Montana and the Senate is Republican.
00:19:55.000 So the new map in Montana, they're probably just going to cut the state right down in half is what they're going to do.
00:20:00.000 Billings is in the East.
00:20:02.000 Kalispell's in the Northwest.
00:20:03.000 Missoula is more in the West. 0.87
00:20:05.000 They're probably going to cut it right down the center of Bozeman is what they're going to do. 0.89
00:20:09.000 And it'll probably be two Republican seats, likely.
00:20:14.000 Texas, the House is Republican, the Senate's Republican, the governor's Republican.
00:20:19.000 Now, let me be clear.
00:20:20.000 Just because they're Republican does not mean you get good maps, and that does not mean you get Republican maps, okay?
00:20:25.000 In fact, it's illegal to do that.
00:20:28.000 What it does mean, though, is you're not going to get Illinois-style maps, like in the Illinois 14th congressional district.
00:20:34.000 If you guys want to go see the goofiest congressional district in the country, go look at Illinois' fifth congressional district, I think, is Mike Quigley, and go look at Illinois' 14th congressional district.
00:20:44.000 Illinois' 14th congressional district is a barbell.
00:20:48.000 It literally goes from the border of Wisconsin all the way down to nearly DeKalb, DeKalb, all the way down to Joliet.
00:20:58.000 It does a handlebar.
00:20:59.000 Do you see that, Connor?
00:21:00.000 Are you looking at it?
00:21:01.000 It's literally like a C.
00:21:02.000 We could put it on the live stream.
00:21:04.000 That's what happens when Democrats draw districts.
00:21:07.000 So here's what happens when Democrats draw districts.
00:21:11.000 And Republicans play this game too.
00:21:12.000 I have to be honest.
00:21:13.000 Republicans gerrymander a lot.
00:21:14.000 And quite honestly, if Democrats are going to do it, we let the courts decide.
00:21:18.000 And North Carolina actually got rulings that they had to redraw their maps because they were too partisan.
00:21:23.000 And look, I'm actually a fan of fair redistricting.
00:21:26.000 I'm actually somewhat of a centrist on this.
00:21:29.000 However, I leave it up to the state so that they can govern themselves the best.
00:21:31.000 So anyway, Illinois has a Democrat House, Democrat Senate, and J.B. Pritzker as governor.
00:21:37.000 And so we're going to get awful maps out of Illinois.
00:21:39.000 This is Illinois' 14th congressional district.
00:21:42.000 What do those people have in common with each other, except that they live in the same 100-mile radius?
00:21:48.000 You literally have people down in Plainfield, Illinois, in the same congressional district as Zion.
00:21:53.000 If you know anything about Illinois, a little bit different.
00:21:55.000 Now, you're going to get this when you have politicians drawing maps.
00:21:59.000 So, but when you have the new census data, every state by law redraws their maps.
00:22:05.000 So Arizona was supposed to gain a seat.
00:22:07.000 It didn't.
00:22:08.000 The Democrats are absolutely losing their mind in Arizona because they want an extra seat because they wanted a Democrat seat.
00:22:14.000 So here's what happens.
00:22:15.000 If you were to game the process, which again, I'm actually more in the camp of fair redistricting.
00:22:20.000 Let me be very clear.
00:22:21.000 However, Democrats game the process every time.
00:22:23.000 Here's what you do.
00:22:24.000 In Illinois, they did this.
00:22:26.000 They say, okay, what's the most conservative part of Illinois?
00:22:29.000 Which is Illinois' 16th congressional district, which is currently represented by Adam Kinzinger, right?
00:22:36.000 Adam Kinzinger, who's got to go.
00:22:38.000 Whoever's primaring Adam Kinzinger, you have my full support.
00:22:41.000 But they'll go find the most conservative part and they'll make it a R Republican plus 30 district.
00:22:48.000 Like so unbelievable.
00:22:49.000 They'll put all the conservatives in one district.
00:22:50.000 Now, why would they do that?
00:22:51.000 You'd say, well, doesn't that help Republicans?
00:22:53.000 No.
00:22:55.000 They give away one seat to go win five more.
00:22:58.000 So they'll make one seat super Republican and they'll go make the next five seats slightly Democrat.
00:23:05.000 You see how that works?
00:23:06.000 And so they'll make the other ones like D plus five, D plus four, D plus three, D plus six, and then the other one, R plus 30.
00:23:14.000 So basically, they'll say, okay, Republicans, you get one seat.
00:23:17.000 We're going to go win all the other Collar County seats in Illinois.
00:23:20.000 We're going to go win the sixth congressional, which used to be a winnable seat.
00:23:23.000 We're going to go win.
00:23:25.000 They won the 14th.
00:23:26.000 You look at that.
00:23:27.000 You don't see how rural that district is in Illinois? 0.73
00:23:29.000 Lauren Underwood won that against Jim Oberweiss and formerly Randy Holcren.
00:23:34.000 That's a very winnable seat. 0.73
00:23:35.000 I grew up around those folks.
00:23:36.000 Or how about Illinois' eighth congressional district, which used to be very winnable and not so much anymore?
00:23:41.000 Anyway, I'm using Illinois as a test case.
00:23:43.000 Illinois, I happen to know that.
00:23:45.000 So here's how I know it.
00:23:46.000 I got my start in politics working on behalf of these maps.
00:23:50.000 That's why I know these maps so well.
00:23:52.000 I got my start in politics when I was a sophomore in high school, literally in rooms when we were advocating and arguing for fair maps and fair redistricting in Illinois.
00:24:02.000 So we lost the Illinois governor's race in 2010.
00:24:06.000 It was Bill Brady who lost a very winnable race against Pat Quinn.
00:24:11.000 And then we got bad maps as a result of that.
00:24:14.000 So we look at this.
00:24:15.000 Oregon, you're going to get terrible maps.
00:24:16.000 Cape Brown is the worst.
00:24:18.000 Montana, you're going to get really good maps.
00:24:19.000 Colorado, bad maps.
00:24:20.000 But I think Colorado has some precedent or decision where they have to have some sort of fairness there.
00:24:28.000 Texas, you're going to get good maps.
00:24:29.000 Florida, you're going to get great maps.
00:24:31.000 North Carolina, you're not going to get great maps, Democrat governor.
00:24:36.000 Ohio, you'll get good maps.
00:24:38.000 West Virginia, you're going to get good maps.
00:24:40.000 They lost population.
00:24:41.000 Pennsylvania, you're going to get awful maps.
00:24:43.000 Now, New York lost population.
00:24:45.000 This is the most controversial one.
00:24:48.000 Being close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
00:24:54.000 Cut 52.
00:24:56.000 New York lost a seat because they were 89 people short.
00:25:02.000 Play Cut 52.
00:25:04.000 One of the mayoral candidates, Sean Donovan, has laid the blame at your feet, suggesting that while you were distracted running for president, that could have been time better spent drumming up support for the census.
00:25:18.000 Do you acknowledge that perhaps you could have done more on that front?
00:25:22.000 And if not, what should have been done to get those 89 people?
00:25:25.000 Yeah, Andrew, that's preposterous, honestly.
00:25:29.000 I think someone should get a calendar over to Sean Donovan.
00:25:33.000 The census took place in 2020, long after I was doing anything on the national level.
00:25:41.000 That's right.
00:25:42.000 He was a failed candidate well before that.
00:25:44.000 This is a huge controversy in New York, though.
00:25:46.000 Now, just so we're clear, if you heard that the way I heard that, you're like, wait a second, drummed up more support and you like found more people?
00:25:56.000 Well, just so you know, the census is a guess.
00:26:00.000 It's not, not everyone participates.
00:26:04.000 Remember, they run ads, fill out your stuff.
00:26:07.000 It's the right thing to do as a citizen, but a lot of people don't.
00:26:11.000 But look, they get it pretty well.
00:26:13.000 I have to say, I've actually, I read a long article when I used to be involved in this stuff in Illinois with some great Americans.
00:26:22.000 And there was an article that says how the census people get it right.
00:26:26.000 And they've had their work double-checked. 0.54
00:26:28.000 Now, we shouldn't count illegals, but they check everything from utility bills to housing rates. 0.70
00:26:34.000 So they get it pretty close.
00:26:36.000 However, if 89 other people would have filled out their census forms, it very well might have put New York over the top.
00:26:44.000 I'm delighted that New York decided to care more about burning down their own city than filling out census forms.
00:26:51.000 I'm delighted that New York City decided to go throw Molotov cocktails.
00:26:56.000 I'm being sarcastic, obviously, media matters, than filling out census forms. 0.90
00:27:00.000 New York, you guys have such an arrogant, pompous attitude lately. 0.76
00:27:04.000 You really do. 0.91
00:27:05.000 I'm talking about de Blas, not the people of New York.
00:27:07.000 I'm talking about De Blasio and Cuomo and AOC and Schumer, the bottom of the barrel.
00:27:12.000 So I have to be lectured by you guys.
00:27:14.000 Oh, we deserve 89 people.
00:27:16.000 You know what?
00:27:16.000 You've had different priorities.
00:27:18.000 And you reap what you sow.
00:27:23.000 So have you ever browsed in incognito mode?
00:27:26.000 It's probably not as incognito as you think.
00:27:28.000 And why would it be?
00:27:28.000 Incognito mode, like the Chrome browser itself is a Google product.
00:27:31.000 And Google has made its fortune by tracking your movements online.
00:27:34.000 There's even a $5 billion class action lawsuit against the company in California, where it's accused of secretly collecting user data.
00:27:41.000 Google's defense, incognito does not mean invisible.
00:27:43.000 So, how do you actually make yourself as invisible as possible online, ExpressVPN?
00:27:48.000 Turns out that even in incognito mode, your online activity still gets tracked.
00:27:52.000 And data brokers still get to buy and sell your data.
00:27:55.000 One of these data points is in your IP address.
00:27:57.000 Data harvesters use your IP to uniquely identify you and your location, but with ExpressVPN, your connection gets rerouted through an encrypted server and your IP address is masked.
00:28:06.000 Every time you connect to ExpressVPN, you get a random IP address shared by other ExpressVPN customers that makes it harder for third parties to identify you or harvest your data.
00:28:14.000 Best of all, ExpressVPN is super easy to use no matter what device you're on-phone, laptop, or smart TV.
00:28:19.000 All you have to do is tap one button for instant protection.
00:28:22.000 So, if you really want to go incognito and protect your privacy, secure yourself with a number one rated VPN.
00:28:26.000 Visit expressvpn.com/slash Charlie.
00:28:28.000 That's exp-r-e-s-s-v-pn.com slash charlie, expressvpn.com/slash Charlie.
00:28:34.000 There are four types of people when it comes to this wokeness nonsense in our country: there's the radical left that believes it.
00:28:42.000 There are more mainstream Democrats like Bill Maher that are sick of it, but they haven't spoken out against it because either they're afraid to speak out against it or they see it as a helpful tool to get more political power.
00:28:57.000 I'm talking about people like Chuck Schumer, who doesn't actually believe this stuff, he just cares about power.
00:29:01.000 Then there's moderate Republicans who are terrified of this, but they are horrified at speaking out.
00:29:06.000 They don't know how to speak it out.
00:29:08.000 Then there's people like us, the base grassroots conservatives, that know that we are in the midst of a cultural struggle for our country.
00:29:14.000 And then so what you have is the woke people arguing with the base conservatives, and the rest of the country just kind of sits idly by and hope it stops while they're taking terrain every single day.
00:29:26.000 Well, Bill Maher had a pretty epic monologue when it came to this play tape.
00:29:31.000 36% of millennials think it might be a good idea to try communism, but much of the world did try it.
00:29:39.000 I know millennials think that doesn't count because they weren't alive when it happened, but it did happen.
00:29:45.000 And there are people around who remember it.
00:29:47.000 So when you say you're old, you don't get it.
00:29:50.000 Get what?
00:29:51.000 Abolish the police and the border patrol and capitalism and cancel Lincoln.
00:29:56.000 No, I get it.
00:29:57.000 The problem isn't that I don't get what you're saying or that I'm old. 1.00
00:30:00.000 The problem is that your ideas are stupid. 1.00
00:30:03.000 And it keeps on going to an even funnier moment. 1.00
00:30:09.000 And James Carville said something very similar, which is that wokeness is dumb. 1.00
00:30:13.000 We know it's dumb. 1.00
00:30:15.000 We know it's the problem. 0.97
00:30:17.000 And so if we're serious about taking back political power at the federal level, we must be very honest with ourselves that if the Democrats are going to embrace this nonsense, it's almost a guarantee that Republicans are going to take back the House of Representatives.
00:30:32.000 Now, Democrats have, I mean, Republicans have always just loved the opportunity to screw up the easy.
00:30:43.000 Just look at the Alabama Senate race with Luther, Luther Strange, I think his name was.
00:30:51.000 Bill Maher continues, play cut.
00:30:53.000 You think someone 80 is hopeless because they can't use an iPhone?
00:30:57.000 Maybe the one who's hopeless is the one who can't stop using it.
00:31:03.000 20% of Gen Z agree with the statement society would be better off if all property was owned by the public and managed by the government.
00:31:12.000 And another 29% say they don't know if that's a good idea. 0.55
00:31:16.000 Here's who does know: anyone who wasn't born yesterday.
00:31:19.000 There's more wisdom in that monologue than out of almost any college professor that I've heard recently.
00:31:27.000 So why is Bill Maher saying this?
00:31:28.000 Well, Bill Maher does have a track record of speaking out against the left.
00:31:33.000 He truly does.
00:31:34.000 And look, Bill Maher's an anti-religious guy.
00:31:36.000 I think he's snarky and unnecessarily kind of mean when it comes to that issue, quite honestly.
00:31:44.000 But he also doesn't want to see the downfall of the West.
00:31:47.000 He doesn't want to participate in that.
00:31:49.000 He's worried.
00:31:50.000 He's worried that the comedians he has on his show, the people he goes to parties with, that they're not just okay with, they are actively participating in the downfall of the West.
00:32:02.000 And so now we have these new maps out.
00:32:04.000 What does this mean?
00:32:07.000 For House Republicans.
00:32:08.000 Well, the Cook political report, who they're wrong about almost everything, they say that this gives about Republicans, they only need to win about two seats back, is basically what this tells us.
00:32:18.000 And that does not account what I believe will be one of the greatest counterreactions in American political history.
00:32:25.000 I think Republicans, if they do their job and they talk about we're going to challenge the corporate oligarchy, we're going to make it easier to have children.
00:32:30.000 We're going to fight for free speech.
00:32:32.000 We are going to put our nation first.
00:32:34.000 We're going to be self-sufficient.
00:32:37.000 70-seat majority.
00:32:38.000 I am not kidding.
00:32:39.000 It can be one of the most widespread, robust, organic, unpredictable political movements in American history, ever.
00:32:49.000 Now, what the Republicans will do with that once they get power, we'll see.
00:32:55.000 But getting Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats out of power is priority number one.
00:33:01.000 And these new seats, it's very interesting.
00:33:05.000 There's a deeper reason behind this than we missed many of the marks when it came to what people thought our census data would be.
00:33:11.000 And that's because the population collapse that we have been predicting in our country actually has come to fruition.
00:33:19.000 So maybe Republicans should say we should solve that.
00:33:23.000 Republicans should talk about what we not just stand for, but how we are going to make your life and the life of your community more fulfilling and bring flourishing potential back to every single person in our great nation.
