00:00:42.000 It means a lot.

00:00:43.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:44.000 Here we go.

00:00:45.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:47.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.

00:00:49.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:52.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:56.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:57.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:58.000 His 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.

00:01:06.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:15.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:18.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:27.000 Okay, joining us now is Donald Trump Jr.

00:01:29.000 Don, I know that this is a complicated topic for multiple reasons because there's ongoing situations and orders and stuff.

00:01:38.000 But Don, you were called to testify in this ridiculous trial.

00:01:43.000 Your reaction, the floor is yours. 0.83

00:01:45.000 Listen, you know, it's sort of interesting.

00:01:49.000 Even CNN and BBC wrote some pretty positive stuff.

00:01:52.000 The left-wing rags get it.

00:01:53.000 Don Jr. doesn't know anything about the finance.

00:01:56.000 It's so disingenuous what's going on right now.

00:01:59.000 I don't know anything about a statement of financial condition, which is not something that you're actually dealing with in business most of the time.

00:02:05.000 That accountants compile, but basically the precedent that the attorney general, I've been found guilty of fraud prior to ever even getting a chance to testify or make a case, is that I guess I'm not supposed to rely on a big four accounting firm that compiles all of our stuff and tells me that it's accurate and I can sign it.

00:02:23.000 Like, you know, that'd be like saying, hey, you know what, doctor, step aside.

00:02:27.000 I'm going to perform orthoscopic surgery on myself because I think I should know more than the guy that's actually been trained to do these things.

00:02:35.000 That's the extent of this case.

00:02:36.000 And you compare it to what's going on with Hunter Biden and the lack of interest for the actual corruption influencing our country.

00:02:44.000 It's just disgusting.

00:02:46.000 You have an overzealous attorney general and it sets a terrible precedent, frankly, for anyone, likely in a blue state because the Republicans would never do this.

00:02:52.000 But for anyone who's doing business, they can say, you know what, you didn't donate enough to my campaign or you're not supportive of our policies.

00:02:58.000 We're just going to go sue you.

00:03:00.000 And we can say whatever we want and it won't matter in a court of law.

00:03:04.000 And it basically comes down to the racketeering and extortion ring sanctioned by the New York state government.

00:03:09.000 It's a scary place that we're in as a country, Charlie.

00:03:12.000 Keeps getting worse.

00:03:13.000 They want to strip you of your company.

00:03:15.000 I mean, and this is unbelievable.

00:03:17.000 Even like remotely recommend suggest fraud.

00:03:20.000 Have they not been in Trump Tower?

00:03:21.000 Have they not been in these properties that you guys own and manage?

00:03:25.000 And I mean, this is literally what they would call proof of dictatorship in Russia.

00:03:30.000 Or if we just remember another example, when Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, just started taking people's property away.

00:03:37.000 Like, yeah, that's just what we do.

00:03:38.000 You know, it's just kind of, I'm in charge.

00:03:39.000 You aren't.

00:03:41.000 We say that it's third world stuff, but the fact that honest Democrats are putting up with this shows how morally bankrupt, reprehensible, and repulsive it is.

00:03:51.000 And Don also, I, you know, just yesterday in Arizona, there was an entrepreneur.

00:03:55.000 He said, oh, I've just closed down my business.

00:03:56.000 I'm done.

00:03:57.000 I'm getting out.

00:03:58.000 I said, why?

00:03:58.000 He said, well, there's many reasons, he said, but honestly, as I was packing up the U-Haul truck to drive across the country to Arizona and I was listening on the radio about the Trump fraud case, I had a peace of mind because they could come after my business too.

00:04:10.000 Don Riffon, that they're going to destroy the economic business climate in New York if they haven't already.

00:04:15.000 Oh, yeah.

00:04:16.000 No, I mean, listen, any real estate developer, right?

00:04:18.000 You know, Betitia James is supposed to know more.

00:04:20.000 The person who thinks Mar-a-Lago is worth $18 million knows more about real estate than Donald Trump.

00:04:24.000 And by the way, she can selectively decide this.

00:04:27.000 There was actually, Charlie, an interesting article.

00:04:29.000 I think it was Philip Hamburger in the, I guess it was the Wall Street Journal yesterday, who's a Columbia professor.

00:04:34.000 So let's just say, probably not a Trump fan, but just talking about the overall implication of what this means, the level of corruption it could create, and frankly, incentivize other overzealous attorney generals just to go after people who may not support them or may not write campaign checks.

00:04:53.000 You could go after any company, any transaction.

00:04:56.000 Now, you've got to remember, in this transaction, the people that are the supposed victims are the banks who made hundreds of millions of dollars, who were paid back in full, where a payment wasn't missed, where their own witnesses are saying, no, we did our own due diligence.

00:05:11.000 This is fine.

00:05:11.000 Like, what are you talking about?

00:05:14.000 They're not even complaining.

00:05:15.000 It'd be one thing if they lost a lot of money and they were coming back and saying, this is impossible.

00:05:19.000 This should not have happened.

00:05:20.000 There's no victim in this crime.

00:05:22.000 It's just a persecution.

00:05:24.000 And again, because of a place like New York, hey, if Trump's not popular, you know what, it's fine.

00:05:29.000 We can let him do this thing.

00:05:30.000 And, you know, so what?

00:05:30.000 They want to fine him a couple hundred million dollars.

00:05:32.000 Like, that's fine.

00:05:33.000 We'll put it.

00:05:34.000 We'll put it in the conference to use for trans surgeries or whatever the hell New York is funding these days.

00:05:38.000 Maybe migrants, because they won't take care of actual New Yorkers or American citizens. 1.00

00:05:42.000 They got to do something like this.

00:05:44.000 But if you can do that on literally any transaction where there's not even a complaint, but they can just say, you know what, I don't like that transaction.

00:05:52.000 Give me a piece of it.

00:05:52.000 You know what?

00:05:53.000 We're going to fine you.

00:05:55.000 It sets a precedent, honestly, that would make any of the dictators in third world countries blush.

00:06:00.000 It is just incredible.

00:06:02.000 And so if you just think about what Trump's brand is worth alone, I mean, who is Letitia James to come in and say, you know, what is worth what?

00:06:11.000 It'd be one thing, which wouldn't happen with your family, because you guys are ethical and honest, if there was like notes defaulted on or things like that.

00:06:20.000 Everyone got repaid, right, Don?

00:06:22.000 There's no victim.

00:06:24.000 100%.

00:06:25.000 It's a massive trial.

00:06:28.000 Yes.

00:06:29.000 It's a victimless, you know, I don't even want to say crime.

00:06:33.000 There's no victim, but that didn't matter.

00:06:35.000 That didn't stop them.

00:06:36.000 By the way, the things they're talking, you know, Mar-a-Lago worth $18 million.

00:06:40.000 Like, I could, if you gave me about seven minutes, I'd get you $250.

00:06:43.000 If you gave me a day and a half, I'd probably get you $700 million.

00:06:46.000 And if you gave me a couple of weeks, I could probably hit a billion for that property, right?

00:06:50.000 It's $18 million because we said so.

00:06:50.000 It doesn't matter.

00:06:53.000 Two of the properties on the only way to actually know exactly how much real estate is valued, because frankly, is when a transaction actually happens, right?

00:07:01.000 Because you can say, hey, I'll hold on to a little bit.

00:07:04.000 Say, well, you know, I don't want to sell right now because the market's a little low.

00:07:04.000 How many people do you know?

00:07:07.000 I'll wait for it to go better.

00:07:08.000 So I think it's worth more.

00:07:09.000 Or I can sell it for more once the market changes or whatever it may be.

00:07:12.000 But, you know, the two properties on there would have been Trump Ferrypoint, which I think was valued at $14 million.

00:07:18.000 We literally sold it for $60 million.

00:07:20.000 And the old post office, which I think was valued somewhere in the mid-low 220s, 220, 230, and we sold it for about $400 million.

00:07:29.000 So they're actually undervalued based on the saving of financial where they actually sold.

00:07:36.000 Like the market spoke and they were undervalued.

00:07:38.000 And you don't get credit for that, right?

00:07:41.000 That's the idea of this whole thing.

00:07:42.000 They can just throw a number out there.

00:07:44.000 They can decide whatever it is that they want.

00:07:46.000 They can say, oh, Durrell's only worth this because it's got golf courses and this is how many rounds you could do.

00:07:51.000 It's like, well, what's 600 acres in downtown Miami worth if you redevelop it into condominium?

00:07:57.000 Uh-oh, next question.

00:07:58.000 And we don't want to talk about like, you know, that there may be other ways to value something. 0.99

00:08:02.000 It's truly asinine. 0.72

00:08:04.000 And, you know, they either, and from my depositions back in the, you know, last summer, I guess, it was actually hard to believe. 0.96

00:08:11.000 It was me sitting across from eight of these supposed professionals in this thing.

00:08:14.000 And they either didn't understand these concepts, which makes it sort of hard to try to prosecute them.

00:08:19.000 I guess it doesn't matter when you have everything rigged to your side.

00:08:22.000 But, or they chose not to.

00:08:24.000 And either way, it's sort of embarrassing, but shows you how far we've fallen.

00:08:29.000 So, Don, closing thought here.

00:08:32.000 You know, we've warned for a while: hey, Democrats, be careful delighting in the political prosecution and persecution of your enemies.

00:08:39.000 One day it will come back to you.

00:08:41.000 Eric Adams gets raided by the FBI.

00:08:43.000 And I'm like, I don't know what Eric Adams did or didn't do or his fundraiser, but it is a chilling reminder, Don.

00:08:48.000 And it should be for Democrats out there.

00:08:50.000 Be careful, you know, delighting and rejoicing and using political power because it might come to your doorstep next.

00:08:57.000 Final thoughts, Don Jr.

00:08:58.000 Well, it may.

00:08:59.000 The problem is the Republicans will never do that.

00:09:01.000 You know, so many of these, they're so feckless.

00:09:03.000 You know, they're going to give everyone in Ukraine all the billions now.

00:09:06.000 They're rolling over every time.

00:09:07.000 I mean, that's the problem.

00:09:08.000 We just don't fight the same way.

00:09:10.000 We don't fight the same battles.

00:09:12.000 You know, you saw yesterday, I guess it was Elon Musk, I guess, tweeted, you know, well, the FBI won't release any of the tapes because there's too many undercover officers that could get exposed.

00:09:22.000 I'm like, oh, you mean like what we said all along?

00:09:23.000 Like this was a setup?

00:09:25.000 Because of course it was.

00:09:26.000 Just like Wuhan Lab League was obviously a Wuhan lab leak and not a wet market magical thing that happened five feet away.

00:09:33.000 Every conspiracy theory is coming 100% true.

00:09:36.000 Guys, we're still betting 1,000 on these things.

00:09:39.000 But in the case of Eric Adams and the FBI, I'm sort of shocked because they're going after a Democrat for a change.

00:09:44.000 I guess they'll probably throw a couple of guys under the bus every once in a while to make it appear as though there's equal justice under law.

00:09:51.000 But I promise you, the FBI is doing whatever they can to protect the radical left because they are the radical left at this point.

00:09:57.000 Don Jr., we have your back.

00:09:59.000 God bless you, man.

00:10:00.000 Stay strong.

00:10:01.000 I appreciate it.

00:10:01.000 Thank you so much.

00:10:02.000 Thanks a lot, buddy.

00:10:04.000 It is so wrong what they are making this family go through.

00:10:08.000 He ran to improve the country he loved.

00:10:12.000 And they are going after every people are savage animals.

00:10:16.000 Never forget that.

00:10:18.000 Never forget what they're making them do.

00:10:19.000 The whole family, they're looping in now.

00:10:23.000 And Hillary Clinton is cackling her way in a forest somewhere.

00:11:26.000 There are three types of people: there are predators, infants, and the protectors of infants.

00:11:31.000 And young women are being subjected to the abuse of mentally ill men.

00:11:38.000 And it's really been amazing.

00:11:40.000 We are a far weaker society than I realized on this.

00:11:44.000 We're going to play Cut 130.

00:11:45.000 It's graphic, but you need to see it.

00:11:46.000 This is some sort of a field hockey.

00:11:48.000 Is that the sport they're playing?

00:11:49.000 I'm from Chicago.

00:11:50.000 We don't have any of this stuff.

00:11:51.000 Women's field hockey event, which in Massachusetts, big deal in the Northeast.

00:11:55.000 Yeah, it's a big deal.

00:11:56.000 It's a New England thing.

00:11:58.000 And it's very graphic, but you need to see this.

00:12:01.000 This girl, she gets so hurt, her teammates don't even react.

00:12:05.000 They can't even look at her.

00:12:07.000 She loses two teeth.

00:12:08.000 Her father is to blame for it.

00:12:09.000 I don't know if she has a father around.

00:12:10.000 Her father is to blame for this.

00:12:12.000 For allowing her to go play against men.

00:12:15.000 Play cut 130.

00:12:37.000 So it's reported that the male player, number two, for Swamp Skit, knocked the teeth out of the female player.

00:12:42.000 Meryl's.

00:12:43.000 Males are allowed to play on female teams in Massachusetts because of the Equal Play Act.

00:12:48.000 Happening more and more.

00:12:50.000 And I was talking to a friend of mine in Los Angeles, and eight-year-old girls playing soccer.

00:12:56.000 And they say about half the teams that they play have men on the female leagues.

00:13:02.000 It's really, honestly, it's a lot less about, you know, mentally ill young men that think they're women.

00:13:08.000 But why men are putting up with this just goes to show that we really don't have men.

00:13:12.000 We have men without chests in this country that put up with this.

00:13:15.000 It's just really unbelievable. 1.00

00:13:18.000 And by the way, if you're a father who tolerates this, you're a coward. 1.00

00:13:21.000 You should castrate yourself. 1.00

00:13:22.000 You're not a man. 0.99

00:13:23.000 And what is this all about?

00:13:25.000 You're allowing your daughter to go into a sporting event?

00:13:29.000 At the very least, you should pull your daughter out of the league, or you should stand up to the other coach, or just go shame these people.

00:13:35.000 I wonder what this what country are we.

00:13:39.000 I look around and I say, by the way, just so we're understanding, you know, these men who think they're women, they get off on hurting women.

00:13:46.000 They enjoy hurting women. 1.00

00:13:46.000 They get off on it. 1.00

00:13:49.000 Not just showing up at school boards.

00:13:51.000 Yeah, that's important.

00:13:52.000 I just.

00:13:53.000 I've had some very strong opinions for this, but it's not getting better.

00:13:56.000 Just so we're clear, this is getting worse.

00:13:58.000 It's not getting better.

00:13:59.000 Okay? 0.98

00:14:01.000 A lot of the young men who think they are women, they get a sexual thrill from humiliating and hurting women. 1.00

00:14:07.000 The trans cabal, they have sexual fetishes of actually hurting women. 0.99

00:14:13.000 And we, as men, not me, but most men in America look along and they say, well, tolerance is a key value of America. 0.98

00:14:19.000 And I guess I love tolerance more than I love my daughter.

00:14:22.000 Men's, of course, have larger hearts, larger lungs, more bone mass, more muscle mass, stronger muscles, less fat.

00:14:28.000 They're also better macro thinkers than women, which is why the chess association doesn't allow men to compete in female chess competitions, but that's a separate issue.

00:14:37.000 Grown males have a larger portion of fast twitch muscle mass than females, which allows them to generate greater force speed and are aerobically produced energy.

00:14:45.000 Even in males and females with similar body mass, male muscles are stronger than female muscles, both absolutely and relatively to lean body mass. 1.00

00:14:53.000 Yeah, women are going to get hurt. 1.00

00:14:54.000 Some women are going to get killed eventually. 1.00

00:14:56.000 That's what's going to happen. 1.00

00:14:57.000 You're going to have that hockey thing where some tranny in a skating thing just cuts a girl's throat. 1.00

00:15:04.000 It's going to happen.

00:15:06.000 Yeah, and Clay Travis recently offered a million dollars for the WNBA champs to play a high school male team.

00:15:12.000 And they won't.

00:15:13.000 They'll be humiliated, obviously.

00:15:15.000 By the way, it was very well known that in high school that the high school boys freshman team would almost always beat a good girls' varsity team.

00:15:27.000 Four-year separation, 14-year-olds versus 18-year-olds.

00:15:31.000 Happens all the time.

00:15:32.000 The high school boys would dominate WNBA.

00:15:35.000 You kidding me?

00:15:36.000 And remember when the Williams sisters took a challenge to play a man-ranked about 200 in tennis, and they got destroyed.

00:15:42.000 Males jump about 25% higher than females.

00:15:45.000 Males throw about 25% further than females. 1.00

00:15:47.000 Males run about 11% faster than females.

00:15:50.000 Males accelerate around 20% faster than females. 0.51

00:15:52.000 Males punch about 30 to 162% harder than females. 0.99

00:15:57.000 But hey, diversity is our strength.

00:15:58.000 Tolerance is our top value, everybody.

00:16:02.000 And it's the men to blame, not the women, not the moms.

00:16:05.000 These low-T men.

00:16:08.000 I guess they're not really men.

00:17:13.000 Joining us now is Michael Seifert from PublicSquare, publicsq.com.

00:17:17.000 Download the Public Square app.

00:17:18.000 Michael, you have some big announcements to share.

00:17:21.000 We got plenty of time.

00:17:22.000 Let's walk right through it.

00:17:23.000 Well, Charlie, good to see you.

00:17:25.000 We are grateful that the response this week to our new e-commerce launch has been tremendous.

00:17:30.000 You know, we started as a company, the nation's largest marketplace of America-first businesses that are non-woke.

00:17:36.000 They love the country, the Constitution, and the values that it protects.

00:17:39.000 We started this company as a directory.

00:17:41.000 So you'd go to the platform, you find the businesses and products and services that align with your values, that do not hate you, that are not funding the globalists.

00:17:48.000 But then you actually check out on their website rather than within our actual app.

00:17:52.000 We were more like a Yelp.

00:17:54.000 But as of Wednesday of this week, we have proudly launched our e-commerce functionality.

00:17:58.000 One shopping cart, multiple vendors.

00:18:01.000 So you can go on and buy a holster, paper towels, toilet paper, an order of diapers, and a new gun bag.

00:18:08.000 You can do all of that in one transaction.

00:18:10.000 And exciting, we actually moved to publicsquare.com.

00:18:14.000 So we still have PublicSQ as well, but we actually acquired that asset.

00:18:17.000 We've been working at the trademarks for publicsquare.com for many, many months now.

00:18:22.000 So if you head to publicsquare.com, you'll actually see a new revamped brand.

00:18:27.000 We've added thousands of new vendors to the platform.

00:18:30.000 We actually have over 400,000 products that we launched with that are purchasable on the platform.

00:18:35.000 So it's a very, very exciting time in the parallel economy.

00:18:38.000 This thing is growing because consumers are tired of feeling like they have no options other than Amazon, other than Target and Bud Light and these different conglomerates that have absolutely stifled the American marketplace.

00:18:50.000 But now they have other options.

00:18:52.000 And so we are really, really proud to be highlighting America's small business community.

00:18:57.000 And they are growing and thriving in the process.

00:18:59.000 It's a very cool time.

00:19:01.000 Well, first of all, I'm really thrilled to hear it.

00:19:03.000 Now, is publicsquare.com live?

00:19:05.000 Is that right?

00:19:06.000 It's live.

00:19:07.000 Head to publicsquare.com.

00:19:08.000 PublicSQ.com.

00:19:09.000 PublicSQ.com is still live.

00:19:12.000 So you can go to PublicSQ or Public Square and you'll see it.

00:19:14.000 Yep.

00:19:15.000 So talk more about the vision.

00:19:17.000 You guys are moving so fast.

00:19:18.000 Every life is doing really well.

00:19:20.000 You know, Michael, cast the vision for the audience where you guys are headed.

00:19:23.000 I'm 100% behind everything Public Square is doing.

00:19:26.000 Tell us about it.

00:19:27.000 Well, the goal ultimately is to compete against Amazon.

00:19:30.000 That is what we are building.

00:19:31.000 We want to be a one-stop shopping experience for 100 million Americans plus that have felt disenfranchised, antagonized, downright forgotten by these corporate oligarchs, truly, at this point, that have so far departed from the values that these Americans still hold dear.

00:19:50.000 You know, they claim, by the way, these globalists, that Americans like me, like you, and like many of your listeners or viewers, are antiquated, that we're outdated, because we still value things like excellence, meritocracy, true equality rather than equity.

00:20:04.000 We want to create a marketplace that goes back to the basics for that massive compilation of Americans.

00:20:10.000 To put that in numbers, by the way, 100 million Americans equates to over a third of the nation's GDP that are on this conservative side of the aisle.

00:20:21.000 And that's the third largest economy in the world, and nobody is talking to them.

00:20:24.000 So we're creating an Amazon competitor for all of life's daily needs.

00:20:27.000 We're doing it on a fraction of the budget and on a fraction of the time.

00:20:31.000 You know, technology has evolved so much that we can jump over many of the hurdles that it took Amazon years to conquer.

00:20:37.000 And we're doing it in a way that is filled with quality and ethics at the forefront.

00:20:42.000 We don't sell consumer data.

00:20:44.000 Amazon's gotten a lot of trouble for that recently.

00:20:47.000 And on the EveryLife side, this is a picture of the broader business model.

00:20:52.000 We have this incredible access point and perspective to what products consumers are looking for, but that don't currently have representation in the parallel economy.

00:21:00.000 So now our goal is to fill those needs, provide solutions to those gaps in the market.

00:21:07.000 Everylife, the nation's first pro-life, pro-family baby care brand, is a perfect example of that.

00:21:12.000 We actually, Charlie, just heard from our manufacturer this week that said that Everylife is officially the fastest-growing baby care brand they've seen in modern history.

00:21:20.000 So it's a very cool time to be building solutions for people so that we don't just have to boycott, we can actually put our money somewhere more positive.

00:21:27.000 That's the vision.

00:21:28.000 It's amazing.

00:21:29.000 Michael, talk about the Israel-Hamas deal.

00:21:32.000 A lot of corporations are now wavering on this.

00:21:35.000 You saw the Starbucks union, and I'm sure that it's front and center.

00:21:38.000 You know, anytime that there's this big news stories, I'm sure you kind of see that across the radar screen.

00:21:44.000 You know, talk about how that is impacting the businesses you select.

00:21:48.000 You know, your criteria is very clear, but talk about that, Michael Seifert.

00:21:53.000 Yeah, you know, it's interesting.

00:21:55.000 Many of the companies that we have truly almost been forced to use because we weren't aware of alternatives in our society like Starbucks or Amazon.

00:22:05.000 You know, these companies were very happy and proud to support the BLM movement just a few years ago.

00:22:10.000 Then it was revealed over the course of the past month that BLM and many of the chapters around the country are actually terrorist sympathizers, which is a wild concept.

00:22:19.000 And so what we want to do is promote the businesses that have always stuck to the basics.

00:22:24.000 They didn't promote BLM.

00:22:25.000 They didn't give millions of dollars to these corrupted organizations that are now standing behind terrorists.

00:22:31.000 Instead, these are companies that prioritize the American economy first.

00:22:34.000 And I think that's the important point here, Charlie.

00:22:37.000 Anytime we see global conflict, it should serve as a reminder that we have to protect our own country and its economy first and foremost.

00:22:45.000 It's like the airplane analogy.

00:22:47.000 If you're on the airplane, you're sitting there in your seat, the flight attendant or the captain pilot will say, if the cabin pressure drops, you need to put your mask on before you worry about your neighbor's mask.

00:22:58.000 That's the strongest case for nationalism and localism.

00:23:01.000 We, as a country, have to take care of our own economy, our own communities, our own businesses first before we worry about the affairs of the world.

00:23:11.000 You have these other corporate entities that are bought out by the globalists.

00:23:14.000 Public square, you're going to find a marketplace of alternatives that are actually prioritizing their communities first and foremost.

00:23:21.000 That is why we are so proud to support them, especially in times of economic turmoil or geopolitical turmoil.

00:23:29.000 Yeah, it's more important than ever, this kind of corporate warfare fight.

00:23:34.000 And you guys could check it out right now, publicsquare.com.

00:23:37.000 I was just flipping through it.

00:23:38.000 And the online marketplace, you guys have got to download the app.

00:23:41.000 You guys have spent a lot to do that.

00:23:43.000 And it says right here, you asked, we're delivering.

00:23:46.000 There's a woman's fashion collection, health and wellness collection.

00:23:49.000 You're really starting to see it expand very quickly, switch with confidence.

00:23:54.000 And it's a way that you guys are able to shop your values.

00:23:57.000 That's right, shop your values, and you guys can see it in a very effective way.

00:24:04.000 So, Michael, what are some of the big challenges that our audience can help with?

00:24:07.000 I know growing in scale as an entrepreneur can be difficult.

00:24:12.000 How can our audience best support this?

00:24:14.000 Because we get so many emails, so many positive responses in regards to public square.

00:24:19.000 Michael, what is the way that our audience can help?

00:24:22.000 I know that you guys had a big short seller thing.

00:24:24.000 Looks like that has stabilized a little bit.

00:24:26.000 Michael, how can our audience be most helpful?

00:24:29.000 Well, Charlie, the best way the audience can partner with us in creating this parallel economy has actually more to do with our vendors.

00:24:36.000 When folks can go to publicsquare.com and support the small businesses that we represent, now over 70,000 of them, that will actually cause the entire parallel economy to win.

00:24:47.000 So, we tell people often, we don't charge anything to use the platform.

00:24:50.000 There's no premium version that you have to pay for.

00:24:53.000 This platform is free to consumers to come and enjoy, and the small businesses get to reap the rewards of the growing and burgeoning parallel economy on the consumer side.

00:25:02.000 So, our encouragement to folks is: if you want to help this grow, it's really as simple as two steps.

00:25:07.000 Number one, head to publicsquare.com and support the small businesses that you see on the platform.

00:25:11.000 Sometimes we hear folks say, Well, you know, I still use an iPhone and I still use a MacBook and I still drive a car that's made by a tyrant.

00:25:18.000 And it's absolutely right.

00:25:19.000 But at the end of the day, we'll never be able to do everything unless we start with something.

00:25:23.000 And so, our encouragement to folks is even start with something as simple as switching your cup of coffee.

00:25:28.000 Get your household cleaning supplies from a company that does not hate you.

00:25:31.000 Grab your diapers from a company that is not utilizing your proceeds to fund their employees' abortions. 0.87

00:25:36.000 That's step one.

00:25:37.000 Step two: tell your friends.

00:25:39.000 You know, many of the entities in the commerce space that have grown have done so with the backing of venture capital.

00:25:45.000 They raise hundreds of millions of dollars from Sequoia Capital and soft banks of the world, and then they just blow that money on customer acquisition with no regard for financial stewardship.

00:25:56.000 For example, Yelp, famous online directory, once wasted $70 million on a marketing effort that proved futile.

00:26:06.000 We don't have the luxury of doing that.

00:26:07.000 We're prioritizing financial stewardship.

00:26:09.000 In fact, we're projecting our first profitable quarter in 2024, less than four years of even having the idea for this company.

00:26:15.000 And so, our encouragement is: let's be grassroots about our growth.

00:26:19.000 Once you find a product that you know and love on the public platform, please go tell your friends.

00:26:23.000 If every single one of our over 1.6 million members on the platform just told three friends about the public square platform, it's incredible how fast this movement can truly grow.

00:26:33.000 So, that's our encouragement.

00:26:34.000 We hit a million members faster than Twitter, Airbnb, Spotify, and more.

00:26:38.000 The way we continue that growth is through a grassroots effort of folks voting with their wallets and then telling their communities.

00:26:45.000 PublicSQ.com or publicsquare.com.

00:26:47.000 I got to say that.

00:26:48.000 Tell your friends, everybody, download the app and check out their new online marketplace.

00:26:53.000 It's amazing.

00:26:53.000 Michael, you're welcome back anytime.

00:26:54.000 Thanks so much.

00:26:55.000 Thank you, Charlie.

00:26:56.000 Good to see you.

00:26:57.000 All right.

00:26:58.000 With the attacks in Israel, massacre in Israel, there is more and more concern that Hamas has sleeper cells in our country.

00:27:09.000 Totally legitimate, by the way.

00:27:10.000 You should buy weapons and buy guns.

00:27:12.000 In fact, the federal government is now saying this.

00:27:17.000 People on television are saying, Yeah, you know, there might be sleeper cells here.

00:27:21.000 But there's something that needs to be voted on before midnight on December 31st.

00:27:29.000 Let's first play cut 51.

00:27:31.000 Play cut 51.

00:27:33.000 As the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism, the Iranians, for instance, have directly, or by hiring criminals, mounted assassination attempts against dissidents and high-ranking current and former U.S. government officials, including right here on American soil. 0.94

00:27:53.000 And along those lines, Hezbollah, Iran's primary strategic partner, has a history of seeding operatives and infrastructure, obtaining money and weapons and spying in this country going back years.

00:28:09.000 So that's Christopher Wray, head of the FBI, talking about how we might be infiltrated.

00:28:13.000 Let's continue Cut 52.

00:28:15.000 But as I said a few moments ago, on top of the homegrown violent extremists and domestic violent extremist threat, we also cannot and do not discount the possibility that Hamas or another foreign terrorist organization may exploit the current conflict to conduct attacks here on our own soil.

00:28:36.000 Christopher Wray is playing a game.

00:28:38.000 Christopher Wray wants something, and it's working.

00:28:41.000 Christopher Wray wants Section 702 of the FISA Renewal Act to be authorized before the end of December.

00:28:47.000 The very same FISA abuse that has been used against conservatives, patriots, moms, and dads at school boards, Donald Trump.

00:28:54.000 This summer, it has been hotly debated because it even came out that FISA was abusing it so nakedly, so repeatedly, that Democrats were even unwilling to reauthorize the FISA spying unwarranted behavior.

00:29:06.000 Department of Justice has a press release, justice.gov, reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is a national security imperative.

00:29:16.000 So now they are scaring Congress and scaring you, the American people, into reauthorizing a tyranny state, and it's working.

00:29:24.000 The chatter of Hamas having sleeper cells in this country are legitimate, but that is an immigration issue, not a surveillance issue.

00:29:32.000 It's a southern border deportation issue, not a matter of being able to listen to our phone calls and monitor our text messages.

00:29:40.000 We are falling for the trap, everybody, and I'm telling you, there is a massive legislative fight, and these Republicans are going to authorize it, and they're going to cite Hamas.

00:29:48.000 There is a huge fight because here's, without getting too deep into it, Patriot Act, every so often, every couple of years, you have to reauthorize that the federal government can get access to our phone calls, our emails, our messages without a warrant.

00:30:01.000 And they deliberately, right now, the regime is deliberately committing treason on the border, and they say the fix is in, the fix, I'm sorry, is give us total surveillance powers.

00:30:11.000 No, fire these guys and secure the border.

00:30:14.000 And Christopher Wray, why don't you get your priorities straight?

00:30:17.000 Stop targeting churches and parents.

00:30:19.000 And if you need to spy on Hamas, get a warrant. 0.65

00:30:25.000 Get a warrant.

00:30:26.000 Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is warrantless spying on Americans.

00:30:33.000 It's going to expire on December 31st of this year.

00:30:37.000 The expiration would be a massive victory for civil liberties.

00:30:40.000 But they will fearmonger you and use the idea of Hamas in our country because of our southern border as a reason to keep their police state.

00:30:48.000 I am warning you, they're going to increase their chatter to pander to Senate Republicans for a short period of time, and they'll probably never even use FISA against Hamas.

00:30:58.000 They'll use it against us, conservatives.

00:31:01.000 Play Cut 57.

00:31:03.000 Do you believe the United States safer from foreign terror threats today?

00:31:08.000 Are we safer than when Joe Biden took office?

00:31:14.000 What I would say to you is that the terror threats have elevated.

00:31:19.000 The terror threats have elevated.

00:31:21.000 Christopher Wray knows that there is not a widespread appetite or agreement to get FISA reauthorized.

00:31:31.000 So Christopher Wray has to scare Senate Republicans.

00:31:34.000 Instead of closing the border, which he should, he's scaring senators so that we can continue to have warrantless wiretapping of your conversations, of me, of Tucker, of Candace Owens.

00:31:52.000 And they're going to use the Hamas massacre, the Sabbath massacre, as a way to fearmonger and build public support to re-authorize FISA.

00:32:02.000 Keep your eye on Lindsey Graham.

00:32:04.000 He's going to lead this.

00:32:05.000 I guarantee it.

00:32:06.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.

00:32:08.000 Email us as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:32:10.000 Thanks so much for listening, and God bless.
