00:01:14.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:23.000 Lots to cover today.
00:01:25.000 Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to resign from Congress at year end.
00:01:30.000 Kevin McCarthy speaks to reporters after he was ousted from the position of Speaker by a vote of the House of Representatives at the U.S. Capitol.
00:01:38.000 He's not only not running for re-election, he is resigning.
00:01:43.000 Quote, I know my work is only getting started, McCarthy said in an op-ed.
00:01:47.000 The announcement immediately rocketed McCarthy right now to the top of the private sector's target list of former members of Congress who would be powerful lobbyists to a company's payroll.
00:01:57.000 The announcement: McCarthy was a prolific fundraiser as a Republican leader and later speaker, where he built a deep network of CEOs and major donors.
00:02:07.000 Marjorie Taylor Greene tweets, well, now in 2024, we'll have a one-seat majority in the House of Representatives.
00:02:13.000 You understand what happened here?
00:02:14.000 And so they take out Santos to reduce our majority.
00:02:18.000 Remember, we went all in on that. 1.00
00:02:20.000 We said this was a silly and stupid idea. 1.00
00:02:22.000 He's a clown, but what are you doing? 1.00
00:02:24.000 And then McCarthy says we're done. 0.99
00:02:25.000 So it's an open seat.
00:02:26.000 This is intentional political suicide.
00:02:29.000 And this is Kevin McCarthy getting back at the House Freedom Caucus saying, you guys got rid of me.
00:02:35.000 Have a nice life.
00:02:36.000 Marjorie Taylor Green says, well, hopefully no one dies.
00:02:40.000 I mean, someone could resign.
00:02:42.000 All it takes is one or two more rhinos to resign with Kevin McCarthy, and the House of Representatives will go to Democrats.
00:02:48.000 So now a one-seat majority, everybody.
00:02:52.000 One-seat majority.
00:02:53.000 And according to all public reports, Kevin McCarthy's seat will be filled by Gavin Newsom.
00:03:01.000 Now, there will be a special election.
00:03:02.000 It will probably eventually be won by a Republican.
00:03:05.000 And 105 Republicans last week decided to kick out George Santos to reduce our majority even further.
00:03:13.000 And they knew, by the way, many of those 105 Republicans knew this McCarthy thing was coming.
00:03:18.000 So Republicans, so bitter about the motion to vacate, about the effort by Matt Gates and many others, that they want to literally hand the gavel to the Democrats.
00:03:34.000 And Kevin McCarthy, he holds a lot of power.
00:03:39.000 And he is saying, see you later on his way out.
00:03:43.000 He's saying, have a nice life, guys.
00:03:45.000 That is where we're at.
00:03:47.000 Now, who's going to actually fill the seat?
00:03:48.000 We do not know.
00:03:50.000 He's basically saying, enjoy your one-seat majority.
00:03:53.000 And I will say there's one part of this that bothers me. 0.74
00:03:56.000 Obviously, this is ridiculous what Kevin is doing.
00:03:59.000 He shouldn't do this. 0.68
00:04:00.000 It jeopardizes the country.
00:04:03.000 But the people that pushed for Kevin to be removed, you guys expect that they won't fight back?
00:04:13.000 What was the plan here?
00:04:14.000 Remember, said, oh, no, no, don't worry.
00:04:15.000 We'll get a new speaker and all this.
00:04:17.000 This was always on the table.
00:04:18.000 They get rid of Santos.
00:04:19.000 McCarthy goes scorched earth.
00:04:21.000 Okay.
00:04:22.000 Basically, the House of Representatives.
00:04:24.000 We might lose the House before the election, which means obviously no impeachment of Biden.
00:04:29.000 We're supposed to believe we're going to impeach Biden.
00:04:31.000 Guess what?
00:04:31.000 Ken Buck, done.
00:04:32.000 He says we're not impeaching Biden. 0.99
00:04:34.000 The guy is a traitor to the United States. 0.96
00:04:36.000 We might not have the votes. 0.95
00:04:38.000 And I want you to understand, Kevin very well could wait it out one more year.
00:04:42.000 No, he's not doing that.
00:04:43.000 Kevin says, have a nice life, guys.
00:04:46.000 You guys got rid of me.
00:04:47.000 You don't want me.
00:04:48.000 Enjoy.
00:04:50.000 He's done.
00:04:51.000 McCarthy says, I know my work is only getting started.
00:04:55.000 This is so unbelievably dysfunctional.
00:04:58.000 We have a country that is being overrun every single day by illegals. 1.00
00:05:04.000 We're borrowing $2 trillion.
00:05:06.000 We're on the verge of two world wars in Israel and Ukraine and Russia. 0.84
00:05:11.000 We have a traitor in the White House.
00:05:13.000 And our party, which is supposed to be the opposition party, is deciding to become less powerful.
00:05:21.000 I know my work is only getting started, Kevin McCarthy writes in an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal.
00:05:26.000 In fact, let me get that Wall Street Journal op-ed.
00:05:29.000 This is political suicide, everybody.
00:05:32.000 It is national and civilizational suicide, writes in an op-ed here in the Wall Street Journal.
00:05:38.000 Oh, and then Representative Patrick McHenry is bowing out.
00:05:42.000 At least he's not running for, you know, the typical way you do this is you say, I'm not going to run for reelection.
00:05:47.000 And then you just see out your term and you give a last speech and you allow the handing of the baton.
00:05:53.000 This is not just unusual.
00:05:55.000 This is an insult.
00:05:57.000 This is a throbbing middle finger to all of you.
00:06:00.000 And I don't like it at all.
00:06:02.000 But I also want to make sure.
00:06:08.000 Did you expect the regime not to fight back?
00:06:11.000 All this should have been gamed out, guys.
00:06:14.000 And it wasn't.
00:06:15.000 Political suicide through and through. 1.00
00:06:19.000 And George Santos, total clown. 0.99
00:06:22.000 He had an unbelievable voting record. 0.95
00:06:25.000 Really great according to the turning point action voting scorecard.
00:06:28.000 We went through that last week.
00:06:29.000 Santos would at least have us a two-seat majority.
00:06:32.000 So if, I don't know, somebody dropped dead, we'd still have a majority.
00:06:37.000 We asked the question, what was the point of voting him out?
00:06:40.000 And it's because 105 Republicans voting him out would say, wow, Republicans like us.
00:06:44.000 Santos, what he did is indefensible. 0.99
00:06:46.000 The guy's a total clown. 0.99
00:06:47.000 He said he wasn't going to run for reelection. 1.00
00:06:49.000 Whatever.
00:06:51.000 By the way, if you spend any time around some of these guys of Congress, they're not exactly spring chickens.
00:06:55.000 One of these octogenarians could drop dead at any time.
00:06:59.000 I mean, we have a very, we have a slim, not a slim majority.
00:07:03.000 I mean, and the Democrats, they've been working this thing.
00:07:07.000 They've been working.
00:07:08.000 By the way, we just had another member of Congress resign to go become a college president as if that couldn't wait.
00:07:13.000 And excuse me while I state the obvious.
00:07:16.000 This doesn't seem as if duty and service to country is a priority here.
00:07:23.000 It is revenge and grudges.
00:07:27.000 So somebody says here, they email us, but Charlie, weren't you skeptical about removing Kevin?
00:07:33.000 Yeah, I kind of was.
00:07:35.000 And I beg you to prove to me that Speaker Johnson has been an upgrade, number one.
00:07:40.000 Number two, the regime has a lot of power.
00:07:43.000 Okay, so now Kevin is resigned.
00:07:46.000 They obviously were behind the Santos thing, the 105 establishment Republicans.
00:07:50.000 Are we in a better position to save the country?
00:07:53.000 The answer is, of course not.
00:07:54.000 We have intentionally reduced our majority to such a state.
00:07:58.000 And I hope it was worth it.
00:07:59.000 And maybe you guys think it was.
00:08:00.000 I don't think Speaker Johnson is worth it.
00:08:02.000 I don't think he's an upgrade.
00:08:04.000 I think Speaker Johnson has been exactly the same with Bible verses around it.
00:08:08.000 In fact, in some way, he's been worse.
00:08:10.000 If you guys disagree, let me know.
00:08:11.000 Tell me what Speaker Johnson has done.
00:08:13.000 He's done a laddered CR.
00:08:14.000 He gets praise from Chuck U. Schumer.
00:08:16.000 He gave Joe Biden exactly what he wanted.
00:08:19.000 So there's a M.
00:08:21.000 Yeah, the question is this.
00:08:23.000 It's not totally vacant house seats are filled through special elections.
00:08:26.000 So there'll be a special election at some point this spring.
00:08:30.000 And Kevin is doing this as revenge.
00:08:34.000 He's coming back with total revenge against the people that removed him.
00:08:42.000 Balance of nature, changing the world one life at a time.
00:08:45.000 I try to take care of myself.
00:08:47.000 I try to eat right.
00:08:48.000 And I love fruits and vegetables.
00:08:50.000 I'd rather have them than anything else, but I know I don't get nearly enough.
00:08:54.000 So I thought, I'll try it for two months and no harm, no foul.
00:08:57.000 If it doesn't work after that, then I've tried it, and at least I know.
00:09:01.000 Within two weeks, I noticed a huge difference in my energy, sleeping better at night, and just energy.
00:09:07.000 I would get up in the morning and get up, not just sit around.
00:09:12.000 You guys have got to try this.
00:09:13.000 You have to try it.
00:09:14.000 You owe it to yourself to try it.
00:09:16.000 The wife and I both think it's done a lot of good.
00:09:18.000 We both think it's, you know, it's improved your overall day-to-day how you feel.
00:09:23.000 And we've turned everybody on to it.
00:09:26.000 Our kids are on it.
00:09:27.000 Our brothers and sisters that are on it.
00:09:30.000 We've got some neighbors we've turned on to it.
00:09:32.000 So we're very pleased with the product and the results.
00:09:35.000 It's not like you're Superman, but you definitely know you're healthy.
00:09:39.000 Are you going to lose weight?
00:09:40.000 And I've never heard that said in any of the commercials, but by golly, you do.
00:09:44.000 I work in a school, so I'm around like a thousand kids a day constantly.
00:09:48.000 And so I wash my hands and use alcohol on them probably a hundred times a day or better.
00:09:54.000 And my hands are always cracking open and splitting.
00:09:57.000 And I did not have that this entire winter.
00:10:00.000 And I've bet you anything.
00:10:02.000 This is me.
00:10:02.000 I bet you anything it's balanced nature because it's the only thing I've done different.
00:10:06.000 Like the guy on your commercial says, I'm going to keep on taking it the rest of my life.
00:10:10.000 And I feel the same way.
00:10:11.000 It's going really good.
00:10:12.000 I mean, I feel better, got more energy, and, you know, I can go through my day better.

00:10:45.000 Why can't McCarthy just see out the term?
00:10:48.000 See out the term.
00:10:49.000 It's a one-two punch.
00:10:50.000 It's remove Santos, which is totally unnecessary.
00:10:54.000 And then he resigns.
00:10:55.000 What's next is the question.
00:10:57.000 What's the third move?
00:10:59.000 By the way, McHenry is serving out his term.
00:11:01.000 Why can't McCarthy?
00:11:04.000 Oh, Bill Johnson from Ohio is going to be a college president.
00:11:07.000 I guarantee you that McCarthy knew about that.
00:11:10.000 After expulsion of Santos, Bill Johnson expected an early exit.
00:11:15.000 Some Republicans have voiced concerns about the razor-thin majority.
00:11:18.000 So now we have a one-two-three, potentially four-part move.
00:11:21.000 Get ready for this, everybody.
00:11:23.000 You are living through some synchronicity.
00:11:27.000 This is all synchronized.
00:11:29.000 I hope you're seeing it.
00:11:30.000 It's very orchestrated.
00:11:31.000 It's centralized.
00:11:33.000 So, okay, it goes Santos.
00:11:35.000 Then Bill Johnson unnecessarily resigns.
00:11:39.000 McCarthy unnecessarily resigns.
00:11:42.000 And look, I want to be very clear.
00:11:43.000 You know, some of you guys email me and very nasty, and that's all right.
00:11:46.000 You guys got to blow off some steam.
00:11:48.000 I get it.
00:11:48.000 I'm not an apologist from McCarthy or anything.
00:11:50.000 I want to be able to govern.
00:11:53.000 I don't, I like majorities.
00:11:55.000 Okay.
00:11:56.000 I like two or three or four majorities.
00:11:59.000 This is not good.
00:12:01.000 Representative Bill Johnson selected as the next president of Youngstown State University.
00:12:07.000 Great.
00:12:08.000 Wasn't Jim Tressel the head of Youngstown State University, the former Ohio State football coach?
00:12:12.000 I think so.
00:12:14.000 Could be wrong.
00:12:15.000 Jim Tressel, one of the best college coaches that got ran out unnecessarily.
00:12:19.000 I could do a whole show on Jim Tressel.
00:12:21.000 So we've lost McCarthy, end of the month.
00:12:25.000 We lose Johnson.
00:12:27.000 We kick out Santos. 0.97
00:12:33.000 And here we are.
00:12:35.000 Over the past few months, almost a dozen House GOP members have declared their intentions to retire from office.
00:12:40.000 Now, even if we are able to hold on to a one-seat majority, it is likely that we'll lose the House.
00:12:46.000 The only way that we keep on the House is that Donald Trump does what Donald Trump does: massive turnout, has huge coattails, and he just carries.
00:12:54.000 He does an unbelievable job with this.
00:12:57.000 He just defies all the polling, and the overflow effect helps dramatically in these swing districts.
00:13:04.000 It's looking more and more like Donald Trump is the greatest asset that Republicans have for get out the vote and for messaging.
00:13:13.000 It's so funny because if you read the Koch brother memo, the Nikki Haley, the Nemerata-Haley memo, they'll tell you the opposite.
00:13:21.000 No, no, no.
00:13:22.000 I'm telling you, Donald Trump is the only way that you could fix all this.
00:13:28.000 It's really Trump or bust at this point, which is exactly why they're writing these nauseating articles in the Atlantic. 0.99
00:13:34.000 They're trying to create the prerequisite to kill Donald Trump. 0.98
00:13:37.000 They're trying to line up the pieces for his assassination.
00:13:41.000 McCarthy's timeline means he would depart before the February 13th special election to replace expelled Representative George Santos, further cutting the Republican majority down to 220 members versus 213 Democrats.
00:13:54.000 This means House Republicans lose just three votes before requiring Democrats support Democratic support to pass measures.
00:14:01.000 So, what's the next move?
00:14:03.000 Is there somebody else that's now going to just resign at the end of the month and saying, I'm just going to give the keys to the Democrats?
00:14:10.000 Are there deals being made by lobbyists and insiders?
00:14:12.000 Now, now it gets to be really, really tricky, everybody.
00:14:15.000 Think about it.
00:14:17.000 You can go find some 75-year-old rhino from Tennessee who wants a payday, and they say, Hey, if you resign, things are going to look really good for you.
00:14:28.000 And he gets a couple million bucks.
00:14:30.000 And like that, the House majority goes to the Democrats.
00:14:33.000 If you are a Democrat operative that lies, steals, and cheats, that's a great deal for you.
00:14:39.000 By the way, this Bill Johnson being head of Youngstown State, I'm just supposed to believe that came out of nowhere.
00:14:44.000 This seems very orchestrated.
00:14:45.000 Somebody made a couple calls, get Bill Johnson out of the way, boom.
00:14:49.000 And they got, they gamed it out.
00:14:52.000 And so now we have a one-seat majority.
00:14:56.000 The McCarthy special election will be sometime in the spring.
00:15:00.000 It should stay in Republican hands. 0.87
00:15:02.000 But McCarthy, McCarthy won't even see out the end of his term.
00:15:06.000 He's got a lot of business to do.
00:15:09.000 And he's going to go make a lot of money.
00:15:10.000 He's going to go lobby his colleagues that he got elected.
00:15:13.000 So he's going to resign and he's going to go, you know, get paid $200,000, $300,000, $400,000, $500,000 a month or whatever.
00:15:19.000 Same thing as Paul Ryan, right?
00:15:21.000 Paul Ryan made a lot of money becoming a lobbyist, sitting on boards, respectful.
00:15:26.000 And by the way, the George Santos district will probably go Democrat.
00:15:30.000 He barely won, barely won before, and Jeffries is going to pour a bunch of money into it.
00:15:38.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:15:39.000 Exciting news to share about saving babies by providing ultrasounds.
00:15:43.000 Right now, there is a dollar-for-dollar match, doubling the number of babies you'll save with pre-born.
00:15:47.000 There are babies alive today about to celebrate their first Christmas because of what we did together a year ago at this time providing ultrasounds.
00:15:54.000 Right now, you can save twice as many babies.
00:15:56.000 Maybe you're already wondering about end of the year giving and want to give every dollar, get the most results.
00:16:01.000 Or maybe you just want to know that a girl making this decision deserves the truth.
00:16:04.000 So that next year at this time, she's picking out a Christmas stocking for her baby's first Christmas.
00:16:08.000 It's beautiful to think about.
00:16:09.000 Your gift of $15,000, somebody out there can do it.
00:16:12.000 I'm sure we'll provide not one, but two ultrasound machines.
00:16:16.000 $280 saves 10 babies.
00:16:17.000 $28 a month saves a baby a month for less than a dollar a day.
00:16:21.000 And right now, any gift saves twice as many babies with pre-born.
00:16:24.000 I'm a donor to this organization.
00:16:25.000 We love this organization with the Kirk family.
00:16:27.000 Clay 33-850-2229.
00:16:30.000 Full endorsement.
00:16:31.000 Amazing people.

00:16:40.000 Donald Trump had a great town hall yesterday with Sean Hannity.
00:16:43.000 He was great.
00:16:44.000 I watched the whole thing.
00:16:46.000 He looked great.
00:16:47.000 He was sharp.
00:16:48.000 He was using the we and the us statements, which I think are very, very powerful.
00:16:53.000 The more Donald Trump uses we and us, the broader his appeal.
00:16:58.000 And he went out of his way in a very powerful, in a very powerful approach.
00:17:03.000 He said, look, it is our movement together.
00:17:05.000 It is you, the American people, us.
00:17:07.000 We are going to take back the country. 0.94
00:17:09.000 The more we and us statements, the better.
00:17:13.000 He talked about the issues in a very, very powerful way.
00:17:17.000 I thought it was hilarious the way he answered the dictator question because, and by the way, that's one of the reasons we're bringing this up because there's two attack vectors happening simultaneously.
00:17:26.000 Again, when you see an op, you have to call out an op.
00:17:28.000 There are two ops that are happening. 0.89
00:17:30.000 They're trying to do the Trump is going to be a dictator to lay the prerequisite to kill him, assassination attempt, and also this Christian nationalist thing that we're going to have to unpack.
00:17:38.000 They're being regime supported with books, op-eds, media, interviews, all of it together.
00:17:44.000 It's a simultaneous pre-election pincer movement to lay the foundation because they're freaking out that Trump is doing well in the polls.
00:17:51.000 So they're going to try to compare.
00:17:52.000 By the way, this is why the BBC comes out with this Julius Caesar documentary. 0.96
00:17:57.000 This is why they came out with Napoleon, in my opinion, and it was a terrible trash movie.
00:18:01.000 They're trying to build this narrative of, oh my goodness, strong man, central power.
00:18:07.000 It's Operation Mockingbird that they're doing via Netflix, Hulu, mass media.
00:18:13.000 So there's two things happening.
00:18:16.000 There's the Trump is a dictator, and also Christian nationalism is going to come over and take over the country. 0.95
00:18:21.000 And you have to be really scared of that.
00:18:24.000 It's widespread and it's not going to go away.
00:18:26.000 They're going to try to make the 2024 election about those two things.
00:18:30.000 Don't vote red, even though you've gas prices wide open voter, losing your country, can't afford anything, inflation, dollar diminishing economy is terrible.
00:18:37.000 Your kids are getting trans and you're losing your country because, oh my goodness, you want to still be able to have abortions and you're really scared of Christian nationalism and Trump is going to be Julius Caesar. 0.66
00:18:49.000 Okay.
00:18:50.000 So Trump answers this question and it's so funny.
00:18:54.000 Now, I really like Sean Hannity.
00:18:55.000 I get along with him.
00:18:56.000 I think he did too much follow-up on the dictator question, in my opinion.
00:18:59.000 It was like two in three times he followed up.
00:19:01.000 It's a false premise.
00:19:02.000 Why are you even taking the premise from the Atlantic and asking the question?
00:19:05.000 Do not, don't take the media's talking point and then platform it.
00:19:10.000 And it's almost as if you are mainstreaming and you are giving credence and giving credibility to something that has none.
00:19:22.000 You're furthering a talking point that exists to justify rigging the election.
00:19:26.000 And this is the other point.
00:19:27.000 It's a great point, Blake.
00:19:28.000 It's a really good point.
00:19:29.000 That when you have millions of people that think they're running against a dictator, they're willing to fill out an extra ballot.
00:19:37.000 They're willing to cheat.
00:19:39.000 If you think you're running up against Adolf Hitler, it gives you, this is Dennis Prager's point, too. 0.64
00:19:44.000 He's done a great job of making this point.
00:19:46.000 It gives you the micro-moral justification to cheat.
00:19:52.000 So all of a sudden you get sent three ballots and you say, well, we're running against Hitler.
00:19:55.000 I might as well fill them all out.
00:19:57.000 And you can sleep well at night.
00:19:58.000 And by the way, I've said this before and it gets totally taken out of context by the media.
00:20:03.000 So I need to be very precise.
00:20:05.000 If you're actually running against Hitler, you have a moral imperative to do whatever it takes to make sure he doesn't become president or whatever.
00:20:12.000 Of course, you're trying to tell me that in the Nationalist Socialist Workers, if all of a sudden you got teleported back in time and you had an opportunity to do something to prevent Adolf Hitler from becoming the fewer of Germany, of course you would do whatever you possibly could.
00:20:27.000 That's why they do these media operations, they want to incentivize the micro-cheating, the extra ballot being filled, the loose signature verification, the mule activity, the election worker that doesn't align the signatures.
00:20:40.000 So they create the prerequisite where the people think they're running up against Mussolini.
00:20:46.000 It's very, very important.
00:20:48.000 Okay, here's Donald Trump asked by Sean Hannity: You're living through a two-part pincer movement, okay?
00:20:54.000 It is Trump is going to be Julius Caesar, and oh my goodness, Christian nationalism. 0.56
00:20:59.000 I'll prove it to you in a two-part move.
00:21:01.000 It's all Operation Mockingbird.
00:21:02.000 Don't fall for it.
00:21:03.000 And we need a vast and quick counter on it before this further metastasizes.
00:21:08.000 Play Cut 55.
00:21:09.000 You are promising America tonight you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody.
00:21:16.000 Except for day one.
00:21:18.000 Except he's going crazy.
00:21:19.000 Except for day one, meaning I want to close the border and I want to drill.
00:21:24.000 That's not all.
00:21:25.000 That's not retribution.
00:21:28.000 I'm going to be, I'm going to be, you know, he keeps.
00:21:32.000 We love this guy.
00:21:33.000 He says, you're not going to be a dictator, are you?
00:21:35.000 I said, no, no, no.
00:21:36.000 Other than day one, we're closing the border and we're drilling, drilling, drilling.
00:21:40.000 After that, I'm not addicted to it.
00:21:42.000 That sounds to me like you're going back to the policies when you were president.
00:21:47.000 Okay, first of all, I think it's hilarious.
00:21:49.000 You know, when you think of a dictator, you think of mass deportations, which you need it, and all that.
00:21:53.000 But he says, I'm going to use my dictatorial powers, of which it's all just a joke.
00:21:59.000 He's joking, okay, to drill.
00:22:03.000 It's like, of all the things on his platform, he's talking about retribution.
00:22:08.000 By the way, this is a guy that's spied on twice impeached.
00:22:10.000 He's facing 700 years in prison.
00:22:12.000 He's facing 700 years in federal prison.
00:22:15.000 And the first thing he answers is drilling.
00:22:18.000 I think it's hilarious.
00:22:19.000 I think it's absolutely hilarious.
00:22:22.000 Of all this, the border, of all the stuff.
00:22:25.000 By the way, that's super important.
00:22:26.000 Let me just be perfectly clear.
00:22:28.000 It's unbelievably important.
00:22:29.000 But Sean Hannity asked this question.
00:22:31.000 Well, to be clear, you're not going to do retribution.
00:22:33.000 And Trump, his instincts are so good.
00:22:36.000 You could just, you could just see Trump being like, what the hell are you talking?
00:22:38.000 Sean's knocked this.
00:22:39.000 That's basically Trump's.
00:22:41.000 That's Trump's very nice, very kind way to say to Sean, Sean, knock it off.
00:22:47.000 I could tell you're reading a script.
00:22:49.000 That's basically Trump's answer.
00:22:50.000 Like, it's Trump's most, that's the most polite F you that Donald Trump has ever given in an interview.
00:22:57.000 Because he, and I like Sean a lot.
00:22:58.000 Sean's always been very good to me.
00:23:00.000 But it's very obvious Sean was reading a script from some executive.
00:23:03.000 Okay.
00:23:03.000 Sean was told to ask this question because he followed up like two.
00:23:06.000 When I was watching, I said, What in that?
00:23:08.000 What in the fresh heck are you doing?
00:23:10.000 You take some sort of talking point from the Atlantic, and that is what you spend your time with Republican primary voters in Iowa, that Donald Trump is going to rise and become Alexander the Great.
00:23:21.000 It was so scripted, I didn't like it.
00:23:24.000 But I thought Donald Trump's answer was hilarious.
00:23:26.000 Only on day one.
00:23:28.000 And we're going to drill baby. 0.96
00:23:30.000 It's a troll, is what it is. 0.97
00:23:32.000 It's a troll of the media because the media expects him to be like, oh, he's going to be a dictator. 0.93
00:23:37.000 He's going to come after the Washington Post.
00:23:39.000 Understand these people are so weak and they're so feckless that they actually do lay awake that Donald Trump is going to become some sort of Red Caesar and march tanks to the streets and he's going to bulldoze the Washington Post Office.
00:23:50.000 Like that really bothers them.
00:23:51.000 Instead, he says, and all of my dictatorial powers in the tradition of Napoleon and Julius Caesar and Marcus Aurelius, I will expand frecking in the Permian basin.
00:24:07.000 It's perfect.
00:24:08.000 It's perfect.
00:24:09.000 And by the way, the border.
00:24:10.000 So what does he do? 1.00
00:24:11.000 He counters this stupid, silly question and this baseless narrative with two unbelievably popular things. 1.00
00:24:19.000 Lower gas prices, aka energy independence, national security, and a closed border. 1.00
00:24:26.000 I love it.
00:24:28.000 I love it.
00:24:29.000 And he also kind of plays into this whole thing because here's the answer that the regime wants him to give.
00:24:35.000 Donald Trump would say, oh, no, I won't be a dictator.
00:24:38.000 He doesn't even repeat the question.
00:24:40.000 He's so well media trained, Trump is.
00:24:42.000 He doesn't even repeat it.
00:24:44.000 He jokes around with it.
00:24:45.000 He toys with it.
00:24:46.000 He taunts them.
00:24:47.000 He trolls them.
00:24:49.000 He shows that he's in control.
00:24:52.000 You cannot teach media masterclass like this.
00:24:55.000 You can't.
00:24:56.000 Instead, he somehow pivots to talking about oil.
00:25:01.000 But let's be very clear.
00:25:02.000 And Trump knows this.
00:25:04.000 The even better answer he'll give is, by the way, Sean, some of these people deserve retribution.
00:25:09.000 James Comey should be in Gitmo.
00:25:11.000 Andrew McCabe, Bruce and Nelior, Merrick Garland spying on Catholic priests and people going to Latin Mass.
00:25:20.000 When Donald Trump says, I am your retribution, do you know why the elites get so nervous when he says that?
00:25:27.000 Because they know they deserve it.
00:25:29.000 That's why.
00:25:31.000 Deep down, the elites know that they've been doing some very dark things.
00:25:37.000 And deep down, I believe every human being has a soul, no matter how hard you try to suppress that soul.
00:25:43.000 And they know that they have been doing the activities and the practices of the demonic.
00:25:51.000 And Donald Trump is talking about justice.
00:25:56.000 He's talking about justice.
00:25:58.000 And so, yes, you could do the oil thing.
00:26:00.000 You could do, I think it's hilarious.
00:26:02.000 But the second thing is, Sean, hold on a second.
00:26:04.000 The Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA, you always wear the CIA pin, Sean, they deserve to be held accountable.
00:26:12.000 The American people have been used and abused by the oligarchs.
00:26:18.000 They see their dollar diminishing in value.
00:26:20.000 They see their kids being taught to hate the country.
00:26:23.000 If there's not retribution for an open border, then what good are elections?
00:26:28.000 And before we get off our high horse, what the heck do you think Joe Biden is doing to meme man Douglas Mackey or to Donald Trump?
00:26:38.000 They're doing retribution.
00:26:39.000 Now it's time for us to administer our own.
00:26:44.000 And what I didn't like about the question of Sean Hannity was almost begging him as if we're somehow better than this.
00:26:49.000 Oh, well, you know, you're not going to, you know, come after or you're not going to go after.
00:26:53.000 We want justice.
00:26:54.000 There's not a single person who went to jail for Russia Gate.
00:26:56.000 Not a single person who went to jail for spying on Trump.
00:26:59.000 Not a single person.
00:27:00.000 And we're supposed to take this Jack Smith on face value?
00:27:03.000 No.
00:27:04.000 The mandate that Donald Trump is building is the American people want the administrative state.
00:27:10.000 They want the shadow government to be put in handcuffs and perp walks.
00:27:16.000 So this whole kind of media narrative, well, to be clear, you're not going.
00:27:20.000 Come on, Sean, you're better than that.
00:27:22.000 Just throw the script away.
00:27:24.000 I don't like it.
00:27:25.000 And again, Sean has always been very good to me, and I owe a lot to Sean.
00:27:29.000 He's put me on his show a lot.
00:27:30.000 I really like him.
00:27:32.000 But that whole dialogue really frustrated me.
00:27:34.000 I want your thoughts.
00:27:35.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
00:27:39.000 All right.
00:27:39.000 If I just go to the Atlantic website, which remember is owned by Lorene Powell Jobs.
00:27:44.000 Lorene Powell Jobs is one of the most powerful individuals.
00:27:48.000 Can we get a picture of Lorene Powell Jobs?
00:27:50.000 Our friend Alex Marlow from Breitbart.com did amazing work, the most of anyone, to really profile in detail Lorene Powell Jobs' influence.
00:28:01.000 She's the widow of Steve Jobs, worth approximately $20 billion.
00:28:06.000 She owns the Atlantic magazine, the Emerson Collective.
00:28:11.000 I believe Time magazine is also owned by a Democrat donor, if I'm not mistaken.
00:28:16.000 Anyway, so Lorene Powell Jobs is not talked about a lot.
00:28:19.000 She hangs out in the shadows, $20 billion. 0.99
00:28:23.000 Anyway, so if you read any of her websites right now, they're pushing this dictator thing, dictator, tick, dick, dick, dick, dictator. 1.00
00:28:28.000 Okay. 0.99
00:28:28.000 So then on the other side, on the inverse, there's another movement. 0.99
00:28:33.000 And I see this because I'm in a lot of these circles.
00:28:34.000 In fact, I'm mentioned in some of these articles about Christian nationalism.
00:28:39.000 Now, I don't have nearly enough time to go through all this, but I just want to alert this.
00:28:42.000 Steve Bannon's been doing great work to raise the atmospherics of this and to raise the awareness of what's happening.
00:28:49.000 But this is a targeted campaign for books, articles, op-eds, media to try and scare people about the rise of alleged Christian nationalism.
00:29:00.000 Now, we have TPUSA Faith, which is the largest past.
00:29:03.000 That's Lorene Powell Jobs, by the way, right there, Steve Jobs' widow. 0.94
00:29:06.000 You should all be familiar with her.
00:29:08.000 She's worth $20 billion. 0.99
00:29:10.000 She pumps in money into this stuff like you wouldn't believe. 0.99
00:29:12.000 She's one of the most powerful Democrat donors that people have never heard of, alongside of Reid Hoffman from LinkedIn, Mark Bennyhoff from Salesforce, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Mackenzie Bezos.
00:29:23.000 Mackenzie Bezos and her are like soul sisters for the destruction of the country. 0.96
00:29:28.000 You could put Lorene Powell Jobs and Mackenzie Bezos side by side, and you say, sister, sister, you got a problem because they are spending tens of billions of dollars to destroy the country.
00:29:38.000 Okay, thank you.
00:29:39.000 So anyway, this Christian nationalism thing, they're accusing this guy, Tim Alberta, who is an award-winning journalist, staff writer for The Atlantic.
00:29:49.000 It's an op.
00:29:50.000 Lorene Powell Jobs fund.
00:29:52.000 So The Atlantic is the source of all this.
00:29:54.000 You have to understand.
00:29:55.000 So Lorene Powell Jobs, $20 billion, Emerson Collective, you know, friends with McKenzie, friends with Soros, they all coordinate.
00:30:01.000 But Lorene, again, it's not her, but it's her team.
00:30:04.000 They are workshopping the two intellectual attacks via this ecosystem.
00:30:08.000 And they all come from the Atlantic.
00:30:10.000 Okay. 0.98
00:30:11.000 Trump is a dictator.
00:30:12.000 They have like nine articles. 0.54
00:30:13.000 Can you show that, guys?
00:30:14.000 The Atlantic.
00:30:15.000 And then you have this guy, Tim Alberta, who is doing the whole media circuit.
00:30:22.000 Again, you know when someone is regime appointed because he's on every show saying this over and over again, PlayCut 62.
00:30:28.000 I think, you know, what you're sort of, what you're sort of getting at here is Christian nationalism, right?
00:30:32.000 I read the, I haven't read the book yet, but I read the piece that you put out in The Atlantic about it that ended with the pastor who took over for your father, who was trying to fight the takeover of Trump in the church.
00:30:44.000 You asked him what's happened to the evangelicals in America, and he said they love America too much.
00:30:48.000 It's like they're, is that what we're dealing with here?
00:30:51.000 Is this what this, what the evangelical, or at least for some evangelicals that are supporting Trump, morphed into Christian nationalism?
00:30:58.000 So Tim Alberta continues, we're going to do an entire show about Christian nationalism.
00:31:02.000 Very clearly, I'm a Christian.
00:31:03.000 I want a free society and I'm a nationalist.
00:31:05.000 They're trying to combine those two terms to create a dog whistle.
00:31:09.000 They're trying to call you a Nazi without saying it.
00:31:11.000 Don't fall for that.
00:31:13.000 But yes, I am a Christian.
00:31:14.000 I am a nationalist.
00:31:15.000 I reject what you're insinuating.
00:31:17.000 I want a free society and I want a strengthening and a revitalization of the Constitution.
00:31:22.000 I want a free society.
00:31:23.000 I want the promise of the Constitution, period.
00:31:25.000 That's the answer.
00:31:26.000 Now, Tim Alberta is an op.
00:31:28.000 Tim Alberta is an Atlantic op.
00:31:31.000 Now, how much is he being paid by Lorene Powell Jobs?
00:31:33.000 We don't know.
00:31:34.000 But he has this fake piety.
00:31:35.000 And of all the things that I see in public media, I hate is fake piety.
00:31:39.000 I can't stand it.
00:31:40.000 Well, he says, well, you know, we need to just worry about our spiritual life. 0.98
00:31:42.000 Then why are you going on MSNBC next to these clowns? 0.81
00:31:46.000 And the Atlantic simultaneously has these articles. 0.96
00:31:49.000 The climate can't afford another Trump presidency.
00:31:52.000 How Trump gets away with it.
00:31:53.000 Four more years of unchecked misogyny.
00:31:55.000 The specter of family separation. 0.92
00:31:57.000 Loyalist lapdogs and cronies.
00:31:58.000 And they also, see, that's the Atlantic.
00:32:01.000 So if you want to know the inside baseball of what is happening in high society Democrat donor circles, the Atlantic is workshopping the ideological ecosystem.
00:32:11.000 Not necessarily the ballot chasing and that that's separate.
00:32:13.000 That is related, but it's separate.
00:32:16.000 But the ideological narrative attacks stem at the top of the tributary.
00:32:22.000 It's the Atlantic.
00:32:23.000 The Atlantic is what Twitter has become for the incubator of high society elite opinion.
00:32:29.000 And they're broadcasting their play.
00:32:31.000 They're showing their play very clearly.
00:32:33.000 And Lorene Powell Jobs pumps money into it. 1.00
00:32:35.000 And the new attack vector, again, we don't have time to get into this at this point, but we're going to workshop this whole thing because we work with thousands of pastors at TPUSA Faith.
00:32:43.000 I've spoken at hundreds of churches.
00:32:45.000 And I'm telling you, it's coming because Christians are waking up. 1.00
00:32:48.000 Churches are waking up.
00:32:49.000 And it's amazing to see is they are trying to smear the faithful as Christian nationalists and scare moderates that Trump is going to be the new Julius Caesar.
