00:00:45.000 President Trump is bringing forth peace.

00:00:47.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:49.000 Here we go.

00:00:50.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:52.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:00:54.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:57.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:01:01.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:02.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:03.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:10.000 Turning point USA.

00:01:11.000 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.

00:01:20.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:23.000 What if I told you that President Trump was bringing about world peace?

00:01:28.000 Now, I'm not going to get ahead of myself here.

00:01:29.000 I know there's very hyperbolic meaning behind the phrase world peace.

00:01:37.000 I'm not trying to be exaggerating any form or fashion.

00:01:40.000 But what if I told you that instead of starting wars all across the planet, instead of getting us involved in World War III, that President Trump, who said we are going to bomb out of ISIS, was going to broker a peace deal in the Middle East, which is the Impossible Peace Deal, that will bring about harmony between Israel and other Arab nations.

00:02:07.000 If you would have said this with a straight face, when Donald Trump was going through the transition process right before he was going to be inaugurated, I remember it very well.

00:02:16.000 I was part of the presidential transition team myself.

00:02:19.000 People would have not just laughed you out of the room, it would have been a career ender.

00:02:23.000 It would have been the destruction of anyone taking you seriously.

00:02:28.000 It would have been the end of anyone taking you seriously.

00:02:31.000 But President Trump, through a tried, tested, and proven foreign policy approach, is bringing forth peace in the Middle East.

00:02:42.000 President Trump celebrated the signing of two different historic peace deals on the White House lawn today.

00:02:49.000 Under any other circumstances, this would have been the top of the news cycle, carried by every single channel and nonstop chatter on Twitter, on social media.

00:02:59.000 It would have been on every newspaper.

00:03:03.000 Could you imagine how the media would have reacted if it was Obama that held a ceremony and the signing of these peace deals?

00:03:12.000 Despite the activist media being more concerned about one sentence that he said to Bob Woodward, which we've already deconstructed and obliterated that entire line of attack, President Trump forged ahead.

00:03:26.000 He said the following quote: We're here this afternoon to change the course of history.

00:03:31.000 After decades of division and conflict, we mark the dawn of a new Middle East.

00:03:37.000 This is powerful, powerful stuff.

00:03:41.000 As we've previously said before on the Charlie Kirk show, it's hard to even describe the geopolitical significance of these accomplishments.

00:03:51.000 It's easy to say they're historic, but it's much deeper than that.

00:03:55.000 It is a game changer.

00:03:58.000 And now, President Trump has done this twice, not just in one term, but in one month.

00:04:04.000 So what exactly was being commemorated?

00:04:06.000 Because the activist media and all the other left-wing podcasts won't tell you.

00:04:11.000 They just care about protecting Joe Biden, defeating Donald Trump.

00:04:16.000 This was a deal between Israel, the state of Israel, the home of the Jews, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates.

00:04:23.000 It meant that they would establish embassies in Israel, exchange ambassadors, and normalize economic relations.

00:04:30.000 So for those of you that have never been to Israel, I highly recommend it.

00:04:34.000 We're doing a trip next May, this coming May, I should say, to Israel, May 18th to the 28th.

00:04:39.000 You can email us, freedom at charliekirk.com, if you guys are interested.

00:04:44.000 It's very fair pricing, very reasonable, freedom at charliekirk.com. 0.56

00:04:49.000 If you understand how Israel was formed, when Israel declared its independence the day after they declared their independence, they were invaded by every single Arab country. 0.96

00:04:58.000 The only thing that has kept the Sunnis and the Shias unified is their hatred of Jews and of Israel. 0.89

00:05:06.000 Whether it be the Six-Day War, whether it be the Arab conflicts that followed, whether it be the war that happened over the high holidays, Israel has been in a perpetual state of conflict with all of its Arab neighbors. 0.95

00:05:22.000 Now, Jordan would be an exception to that and Egypt, but Israel had to give up almost the entire Sinai Peninsula to broker that deal.

00:05:30.000 But whether it be Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon, and especially the golf actors, especially the financiers.

00:05:42.000 So President Trump and Jared Kushner and Avi Berkowitz, who's a friend of mine, they're all friends of mine, were absolutely brilliant in their approach here.

00:05:53.000 They grew exhausted, as did I, watching career diplomats and bureaucrats try the same sorts of tactics and approaches that just resulted in more dead Westerners, Jews, Israelis, and further conflict between the Palestinian Authority and Israel.

00:06:17.000 President Trump decided to capitalize on the one thing the Emiratis, Bahrain, most of the countries in the Middle East that are Sunni can all agree on. 0.92

00:06:30.000 That Iran is the enemy. 0.99

00:06:33.000 That Iran must be stopped.

00:06:37.000 That the Iranian mullahs and their aggressive military action and their partnering with China and their ranting and raving to destroy Israel and destroy America, that is something that they don't support. 0.91

00:06:53.000 So President Trump did is he took off the most controversial issues from negotiation early and decisively. 0.62

00:07:01.000 He canceled the Iran deal.

00:07:04.000 So while Joe Biden and Barack Obama, they did hundreds of billions of dollars in sanction relief to Iran and gave $1 billion in cash to Iran, literally loaded up an airplane, private jet, and sent it to Iran, President Trump had a different approach.

00:07:20.000 President Trump canceled the JCPOA, which is the Iran deal.

00:07:25.000 President Trump said, we are not going to allow Iran to get closer to a thermonuclear weapon.

00:07:32.000 Not going to happen.

00:07:34.000 And then President Trump said, it's about time that we recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

00:07:41.000 Every single career diplomat that went to Harvard and Yale, including Ben Rhodes and all of the intelligentsia of Barack Obama that was supposed to be able to micromanage the Middle East and play a chess game on behalf of a different world, told us that if you moved the embassy to Jerusalem, it would start an all-out war in the Middle East.

00:08:06.000 George W. Bush and his failed foreign policy was different than Barack Obama's.

00:08:12.000 George W. Bush was a neoconservative.

00:08:15.000 He sought conflict in the Middle East.

00:08:17.000 Now, it was warranted in some sense, mostly in the holding the Taliban and Al-Qaeda accountable for what they did in 9-11.

00:08:27.000 But the invasion of Iraq was a massive mistake.

00:08:31.000 Some say it was colonialism at its worst.

00:08:35.000 Hard to make that argument.

00:08:36.000 It is a misadventure in American hubris that we can invade every country and bring them liberty and freedom, and we are going to be the great liberators of Islamic theocratic fundamentalism. 0.88

00:08:48.000 The Iraq war was one of the worst decisions in American history. 0.64

00:08:51.000 And in no way am I diminishing the service of our heroes in our military.

00:08:57.000 You can be critical of foreign policy decisions while also admiring and loving the commitment our troops have made all across the planet.

00:09:09.000 In fact, I do.

00:09:09.000 You could do both.

00:09:10.000 I think it was actually not in our troops' best interest to invade Iraq.

00:09:15.000 The thousands of lives we lost, the trillions of dollars we spent, the geopolitical instability.

00:09:19.000 It was mistake after mistake after mistake.

00:09:26.000 When is the perfect time to plant trees and shrubs?

00:09:30.000 Big box store experts will tell you anytime, or they'll say, I don't know.

00:09:34.000 But the best time is actually in the fall, which means now.

00:10:39.000 So to break this out further, traditionally in Washington, there were these two competing foreign policy worldviews.

00:10:46.000 One was neoconservative in nature.

00:10:49.000 This is what Billy Crystal, George W. Bush, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, and even Hillary Clinton believe in, which it's even further than peace through strength.

00:11:01.000 It's much more aggressive than that.

00:11:03.000 It's much more belligerent.

00:11:04.000 It is nation-building.

00:11:06.000 It is America's role in the world should be active, should be involved, and that despite the mistakes and the blunders that America has made internationally, we are going to keep on dropping missiles.

00:11:22.000 We're going to keep on intervening overseas.

00:11:26.000 The best way to describe it, again, is a neoconservative view.

00:11:29.000 Both parties, by the way, including Joe Biden, held this view for many decades.

00:11:35.000 The other perspective is more of a Dennis Kucinich, more of a Ben Rhodes, more of a Bernie Sanders foreign policy, which is cut funding to the United States military, withdraw from all theaters simultaneously, do not act with any sort of force at all whatsoever on the world stage, and anyone that we have been tough on, like Iran, the inverse must be true, 0.90

00:12:04.000 which is such a foolish way to go about life, which is, since we've been so tough on Iran, it's time to give them money.

00:12:10.000 It's time to alleviate the sanctions. 0.93

00:12:13.000 Instead of looking at it correctly, which is maybe we've made a lot of mistakes, but maybe we also did some things right, such as our very aggressive approach to Iran.

00:12:23.000 President Trump had a very different perspective in foreign policy.

00:12:27.000 Unconventional in nature, pro-American in spirit, and precise in implementation.

00:12:35.000 President Donald Trump's goal was to end the endless wars.

00:12:38.000 Didn't make sense to him.

00:12:39.000 Why should it?

00:12:41.000 Why would having troops in Afghanistan for 20 years be in the best interest of the people of Ohio, Minnesota, Oregon, or Nevada?

00:12:48.000 It's not.

00:12:49.000 What is the geopolitical objective of trying to liberate the Kandahar Valley?

00:12:55.000 There is none.

00:12:56.000 Simultaneously, President Trump was disgusted when the Iranian mullahs were being supplied with Western dollars and being appeased endlessly.

00:13:06.000 Didn't make sense to him.

00:13:08.000 It's President Trump's fresh approach, and I write about this in my book, The MAGA Doctrine, which if you guys want to win a signed copy, you could type in Charlie Kirk's show, hit subscribe, give us a five-star review.

00:13:18.000 President Trump was repulsed that Iran, which is a huge state funder of terror, Iran that hates the West, Iran that hates Israel, was being treated as some sort of oppressed country on the international landscape.

00:13:38.000 So President Trump said, both of these schools of thinking are outdated and they are wrong.

00:13:44.000 The school of thinking of Jimmy Carter, which is similar to Barack Obama, and the school of thinking of George W. Bush.

00:13:51.000 I'm going to do something different.

00:13:53.000 I'm going to act decisively on things that have been decades-long controversial points and take it off the table.

00:13:59.000 Embassy to Jerusalem, you got it.

00:14:01.000 Golan Heights, recognize it.

00:14:02.000 Civil war did not break out.

00:14:05.000 Qassam Soleimani, take him off the grid.

00:14:08.000 Terrorists, drop the Moab, while simultaneously saying we have to end the endless wars.

00:14:13.000 Most of Washington does not have the capacity to think interdimensionally like this.

00:14:19.000 They don't.

00:14:20.000 Whereas President Trump is able to say in the same sentence that I want terrorists dead and I want wars to be ended.

00:14:27.000 Pretty simple, but unfortunately, far too often, we overcomplicate these things.

00:14:34.000 So President Trump's goal was to achieve a more peaceful and stable Middle East.

00:14:41.000 So he went about it by demonstrating to all of the Arab actors, you're either with Iran or you're with me.

00:14:47.000 It's that simple. 0.80

00:14:49.000 Choose sides. 1.00

00:14:50.000 If you're with Iran, good luck. 0.88

00:14:53.000 If you're with me, I'm going to protect you. 0.80

00:14:57.000 And if you're with me, that means you're also with Israel. 0.77

00:15:01.000 So this deal strikes at the heart of what the problem in the Middle East has been. 0.82

00:15:07.000 It's been Arab world versus Israel, instead of decent countries versus indecent countries. 0.85

00:15:13.000 That's the true divide. 0.97

00:15:16.000 Look, there's plenty of problems in Bahrain.

00:15:17.000 There's plenty of oppression in Bahrain.

00:15:19.000 The UAE has plenty of problems with human rights.

00:15:22.000 So does Saudi Arabia.

00:15:25.000 So does Kuwait.

00:15:27.000 That's not the point. 0.61

00:15:29.000 The point is, are you trying to move in the direction of Westernization?

00:15:32.000 And are you able to be in the same room as a Jewish person?

00:15:38.000 And if the answer is yes, we can work with you.

00:15:41.000 And so President Trump, changing the entire chessboard and the geopolitical landscape, very clearly said, we're going to hold Iran accountable, put on more sanctions, and suffocated their economy.

00:15:56.000 So the deal today moved to open historic sites and holy places in Israel to Muslims, such as the Al-Aska Mosque, because it's something that Muslims have been asking for for quite some time.

00:16:07.000 President Trump said this, the people of the Middle East will no longer allow hatred of Israel to be fomented as an excuse for radicalism or extremism.

00:16:15.000 So important, and they'll no longer allow the great destiny of their region to be denied.

00:16:20.000 You remember that President Trump's first overseas diplomatic venture was in 2017 to Saudi Arabia.

00:16:26.000 The media at the time ridiculed him and mocked him for his diplomatic efforts, but that trip was the first instance where he would lay the groundwork for peace in the Middle East.

00:16:35.000 Today he recalled that trip by saying, my message that day was very simple.

00:16:39.000 Unite against common enemies of civilization.

00:16:43.000 And this is just breaking as of this recording.

00:16:46.000 President Trump is announcing that he expects Saudi Arabia to join Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates in recognizing Israel.

00:16:55.000 Israel has never been able to earn the recognition of these Arab countries.

00:17:00.000 They have been under attack endlessly with missiles and rockets to delegitimize Israel.

00:17:06.000 President Trump has brought all these Arab actors and said, I will protect you.

00:17:11.000 We will work with you if you can recognize the state of Israel.

00:17:16.000 The home of the holiest site in the entire Muslim region is in Mecca, which is in Saudi Arabia.

00:17:22.000 Recognizing the world's only Jewish state is nothing short of momentous.

00:17:27.000 This is something that was previously unthinkable.

00:17:31.000 So what exactly is underpinning all these peace talks?

00:17:35.000 So let's dive deeper into this strategy, especially with the addition of Saudi Arabia into the mix.

00:17:41.000 President Trump is forming a grand coalition against Iran.

00:17:45.000 This is all about stopping Iran from establishing geopolitical hegemony in the Middle East, with Saudi Arabia being their number one competitor for regional dominance. 0.60

00:17:56.000 And now mind you, I'm a Saudi skeptic. 0.87

00:17:58.000 I've talked about this before.

00:18:00.000 However, I think that the president is acting in America's best interest here.

00:18:04.000 Mike Pompeo said at the best, quote, that central decision has begun to drive all of the elements of our foreign policy in the Middle East, reduce our footprint in Afghanistan and get our young men and women home, reduce our footprints in Iraq and Syria and be strong in terms of sanctions and place pressure on the regime, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and then lay out a strategy for Middle East peace.

00:18:28.000 And then, Mike Pompeo said, we think about these deals in Bahrain and the Emirates as security arrangements.

00:18:33.000 That's true, but the benefits to the economies of those countries opening up to trade will be enormous.

00:18:39.000 This is brilliant foreign policy.

00:18:42.000 This is what it looks like to run a non-traditional approach to a problem that was created by politicians and dictators and plagued the world for centuries.

00:18:55.000 This is what it looks like when a businessman and his team tackle problems.

00:19:01.000 They isolate the issue.

00:19:03.000 They bring the parties to the table.

00:19:05.000 They ask the tough questions of why things were being done a certain way.

00:19:08.000 And they make a deal that tackles the common, isolated problem.

00:19:14.000 That is simplified, of course, but it makes sense to us, to anyone that has Western common sense.

00:19:22.000 But that's not who's been running point on the Middle East for decades.

00:19:26.000 It has been entrenched lifelong diplomats out of Washington, D.C. that have gone to Princeton and Harvard, who cut their teeth in think tanks that never actually did anything meaningful in their life.

00:19:40.000 Joe Biden will give our foreign policy portfolio back to those people.

00:19:45.000 Joe Biden has been very silent on the progress of peace in the Middle East.

00:19:50.000 Whereas under Bill Clinton, under H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, we had nothing but endless war, conflict, invasion, bomb dropping, and chaos in the Middle East.

00:20:03.000 This development today and unequivocally makes President Donald Trump the candidate of peace.

00:20:11.000 And it paints Joe Biden as the candidate of chaos, suffering, and more endless war.

00:20:22.000 Are you sick and tired of overpaying for basic services, home, internet, cable, utilities?

00:20:27.000 Then, of course, there's your cell phone bill.

00:20:29.000 Who's your wireless provider?

00:20:30.000 ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile?

00:20:33.000 What if I told you that PeerTalk USA uses the exact same network as one of those carriers?

00:20:37.000 Same towers, same exact coverage, but literally costs you half.

00:20:41.000 I know it sounds crazy.

00:20:42.000 When I first heard about PeerTalk, I thought, this is too good to be true.

00:20:45.000 It was so easy.

00:20:46.000 I kept my phone, and they just sent me the SIM card, and now I'm getting the same great service I had before, but for half the price.

00:20:52.000 And listen to this: unlimited text and two gigs of data for just $20 a month.

00:20:56.000 The average person is saving $400 a year.

00:20:58.000 So why is it so much cheaper than ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile?

00:21:01.000 No retail stores, no billion-dollar a year ad campaigns, no value adds to your contract that you end up paying for.

00:21:07.000 So here's the deal: grab your mobile phone and dial pound 250 and say the keyword Charlie Kirk, and you'll save $250 off any iPhone, including the new iPhone SE that's pound 250, and say keyword Charlie Kirk, PeerTalk USA, simply smarter, wireless.

00:21:25.000 If you're listening to this podcast and you're on the fence about who to vote for, first of all, thank you for listening.

00:21:30.000 I mean that.

00:21:31.000 I want all sorts of people to listen to this podcast, and I never attack anyone personally based on their viewpoint.

00:21:38.000 I will attack the morals of a viewpoint.

00:21:41.000 We've been through that quite a lot.

00:21:42.000 But thank you for listening if you're undecided or if you're a liberal.

00:21:48.000 If you're undecided and peace matters to you, then this should be a deciding factor for you.

00:21:57.000 If you're a Bernie Sanders supporter or if you have a Bernie Sanders supporter in your life, please send them this podcast.

00:22:04.000 Because Joe Biden is not anything near what the Bernie Sanders supporters say that they want on the foreign policy landscape.

00:22:15.000 I know I said earlier that Bernie Sanders was much more pacifist than all this.

00:22:19.000 I think that is exactly right.

00:22:21.000 But I think what Bernie Sanders supporters want versus what Bernie Sanders would do is less conflict.

00:22:26.000 I think that's admirable.

00:22:27.000 I do.

00:22:28.000 I think a lot of Bernie Sanders supporters are wrong in economics and socialism and taxation, role of government.

00:22:35.000 But I think it's admirable to want less conflict.

00:22:37.000 I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

00:22:40.000 So President Trump is bringing that dream into reality.

00:22:44.000 There's less war because of President Trump.

00:22:49.000 Blessed are the peacemakers, right?

00:22:51.000 So if you're a Christian listening to this, that should resonate with you as well. 0.86

00:22:56.000 That President Trump is bringing forth Arab actors that otherwise would not be agreeing on anything, and they'd all be agreeing on the demolition of the state of Israel. 0.84

00:23:05.000 They now have nonstop flights and economic relaxation. 0.51

00:23:08.000 In the United Arab Emirates, they are now offering kosher meals, which just so you understand theologically in the Quran, Jews are thought of very lowly.

00:23:19.000 This is the westernization of a region that has been stuck in a backwards governmental philosophy for quite some time that has been incredibly oppressive to women, ethnic minorities, freedom of speech.

00:23:34.000 And it's Iran, by the way, who just executed a UFC fighter, a wrestler, a couple days ago.

00:23:40.000 So for any Westerner that defends Iran, look a little more closely at their human rights record.

00:23:47.000 And if you're a libertarian listening to this, which we do have a lot of libertarians listening to this, thank you for listening, and you're considering voting for third party or staying at home, take a step back. 0.61

00:23:58.000 Think more carefully about this.

00:24:00.000 If ending foreign conflict and massive military spending is an important facet of libertarianism, which I know it is.

00:24:07.000 I know a lot of libertarians, really good people, then Donald Trump is your man.

00:24:13.000 He has done more to advance a libertarian-minded foreign policy guided by the likes of Senator Rand Paul than any other president in my lifetime and in the last hundred years.

00:24:25.000 Every libertarian who values liberty is only empowering a neocon tyrant named Joe Biden if you vote for third party stay at home or vote for Joe Biden.

00:24:38.000 And I know libertarians, they don't want that.

00:24:40.000 And if you're also a libertarian, you probably love firearms and Donald Trump has protected your right to own a firearm.

00:24:45.000 So I think on just those issues alone, he's your guy.

00:24:50.000 Joe Biden's in a very difficult position when it comes to the foreign policy discussion.

00:24:54.000 Very difficult.

00:24:56.000 Because he knows that he's on the wrong side of history.

00:24:59.000 He knows that Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan were all worse after he left office than before.

00:25:05.000 He knows that.

00:25:06.000 He knows the Middle East was bedlam. 0.96

00:25:08.000 Iran was richer, closer to thermonuclear weapons, closer to destroying Israel, closer to being able to dominate the region.

00:25:17.000 Now Joe Biden's looking at the region.

00:25:19.000 He says, what happened to all those messes I made?

00:25:21.000 They're gone.

00:25:23.000 President Donald Trump is cleaning up the messes that Joe Biden and his team of career anti-American bureaucrats and diplomats started all around the planet.

00:25:33.000 President Trump is the candidate of peace.

00:25:38.000 And one of the most important, if not the most important thing that we trust a commander-in-chief to do is foreign policy decisions.

00:25:45.000 This is one of the major reasons as to why the media is blacking out Donald Trump right now.

00:25:53.000 They don't want to cover this issue because President Trump is so good on this issue.

00:25:57.000 Because President Trump is actually bringing forth peace in the Middle East.

00:26:04.000 They know that it makes President Trump look good, that peace is popular, that ending war is popular, that bringing troops home is popular, that de-escalating conflict is popular, that bringing opposing parties together is popular, that in turbulent, chaotic times, the person who can cut through the BS and say, let's all get to a table and we can agree on one thing.

00:26:24.000 We don't want more missiles and conflict, that that is popular.

00:26:28.000 And that's why you are seeing the media ignore this from happening.

00:26:32.000 That's where you come in.

00:26:34.000 Send this podcast to as many friends as you can.

00:26:37.000 Because your friends might hate Donald Trump's style.

00:26:40.000 They might hate what he's done on immigration, all this stuff.

00:26:42.000 We can talk about that later.

00:26:44.000 Who can be against this?

00:26:46.000 Because the Middle East, when Donald Trump came into office, was bedlam.

00:26:50.000 It's chaos.

00:26:52.000 It was a power struggle.

00:26:54.000 Now we have the UAE, Bahrain, and Israel working in harmony together.

00:27:00.000 That is success.

00:27:02.000 That is leadership.

00:27:04.000 And that is worthy of four more years.

00:27:13.000 When running a business, HR issues can kill you.

00:28:09.000 Joe Rogan moderating a debate between President Trump and Joe Biden.

00:28:15.000 I like that idea.

00:28:16.000 I'm a big Joe Rogan fan.

00:28:18.000 I enjoyed listening to him in long format.

00:28:20.000 Don't agree with him on everything.

00:28:22.000 He actually contradicts himself sometimes.

00:28:24.000 He's very smart, works very hard.

00:28:25.000 And I actually think he asks really good questions.

00:28:27.000 I think what's the brilliance of the Joe Rogan podcast is you feel as if you're listening to a private conversation.

00:28:34.000 So on Twitter, somebody floated out the idea, something that we've been pushing for here on the Charlie Kirk show, both privately and publicly, that Joe Biden and Donald Trump should go on a four-hour debate on the Joe Rogan Show.

00:28:46.000 Now, look, as I said previously, the distinction between Joe Biden and Donald Trump is very important.

00:28:53.000 That's why it would be an amazing and an incredible idea for the two of them to appear on the Joe Rogan experience together for a four-hour debate.

00:29:02.000 Now, why wouldn't Biden do that?

00:29:06.000 Now, again, we called for this very early and often.

00:29:09.000 And one of the reasons as to why Joe Biden would not do this is because he can't.

00:29:15.000 Joe Biden cannot have a conversation for more than four minutes, let alone 40 minutes.

00:29:24.000 Not to mention four hours.

00:29:26.000 Rogan is open to it, by the way.

00:29:27.000 He's the one who proposed it, saying, first of all, I want no one else in the room, just the three of us.

00:29:32.000 Rogan described how his debate would be handled to his guest, UFC fighter Tim Kennedy.

00:29:36.000 Quote, and if you have to stream it live so no one can edit it, and I'd want them in for hours.

00:29:42.000 If they wanted to do that, they both wanted to come in here, Austin, sit down and have a debate.

00:29:46.000 I would 100% do it.

00:29:48.000 When Tim Kennedy tweeted about it, Trump responded, I do.

00:29:52.000 Now, the fact of the matter is this: Joe Biden cannot string together any coherent sentences with or without a teleprompter.

00:30:00.000 His team of handlers would never let him go live without assistance for that period of time.

00:30:06.000 And Joe Rogan is not a media type or a Biden shill.

00:30:12.000 This would be unfiltered, unbiased, and a brutally honest assessment of his campaign, his positions, his fitness for office, for everything.

00:30:21.000 Now, mind you, it would be the same for President Trump.

00:30:25.000 Rogan is not necessarily a Trump fan.

00:30:27.000 He insults Trump at times, doesn't agree with Trump, but I think he's fair.

00:30:32.000 I think he's open-minded.

00:30:32.000 I think Joe Rogan likes freedom.

00:30:35.000 And I have full confidence that Trump could handle it.

00:30:38.000 I think Trump could win Joe Rogan over.

00:30:40.000 I mean, look at Donald Trump's schedule the last couple days.

00:30:43.000 September 8th, he held rallies in North Carolina and Florida.

00:30:46.000 September 10th, held a rally in Michigan.

00:30:48.000 September 11th, he spent the day public events honoring the anniversary of 9-11.

00:30:52.000 September 12th, rally in Nevada.

00:30:54.000 September 13th, another rally in Nevada and Latinos for Trump coalition event.

00:30:58.000 September 14th, met with California leaders and then a Latinas for Trump roundtable in Phoenix.

00:31:03.000 And then September 15th, held a trilateral peace commemoration with Middle Eastern leaders.

00:31:09.000 He's non-stop. 0.68

00:31:10.000 He's a machine.

00:31:12.000 Joe Biden can hardly get anything going.

00:31:14.000 He's holding rallies, which is four people 10 feet across from each other in Wilmington.

00:31:20.000 Today he traveled down to Florida to hold an event.

00:31:23.000 No supporters just pressed.

00:31:24.000 Those are his supporters.

00:31:27.000 Joe Biden would not be able to survive a Joe Rogan experience.

00:31:31.000 He wouldn't.

00:31:32.000 The more that the president provokes Joe Biden into a response that he is not capable of engaging on that terrain, the better.

00:31:40.000 Because Joe Biden can't.

00:31:41.000 Joe Biden cannot have a sit-down interview.

00:31:45.000 If you can't do that, why should you be president?

00:31:47.000 By the way, Joe Biden's audience is unbelievably big.

00:31:52.000 It is the most listened to podcast on the planet by far.

00:31:56.000 The biggest guests, celebrities will watch it.

00:32:00.000 I think it could be the deciding factor for President Trump.

00:32:03.000 Now, Joe Biden probably won't do it.

00:32:05.000 But I still think that if Donald Trump mentions it and continues to mention it, it's a winning issue for the president.

00:32:12.000 Scientific American just came out.

00:32:14.000 Scientific American magazine backed Joe Biden, its first presidential endorsement in 175 years.

00:32:20.000 If you read their piece, it reads like a DNC talking points memo.

00:32:24.000 They say Trump is anti-science and all this.

00:32:26.000 Of course, none of it's true.

00:32:28.000 In the least, not even close.

00:32:31.000 And we shouldn't be surprised that everything is politicized now.

00:32:34.000 Sports, food, clothes, movies, the brands you buy, and now, of course, science.

00:32:40.000 Frankly, science has been politicized for a very long time now, so this was inevitable.

00:32:45.000 And the left has made everything political.

00:32:48.000 This is just the latest news item to show the left's maniacal assault and unrelenting attack on our core institutions.

00:32:57.000 And never forget this.

00:32:59.000 Wokeism is a virus.

00:33:01.000 Certain dispositions and ideologies are especially susceptible.

00:33:05.000 Science has been overtaken by wokeism.

00:33:07.000 So let's just dive into it.

00:33:08.000 From USA Today, quote, breaking with almost 200 years of tradition, Scientific American's editor said, quote, the evidence in science show that Donald Trump has badly damaged the U.S. and its people because he rejects evidence in science.

00:33:20.000 The editors wrote in a piece published Tuesday and part of the October 2020 issue.

00:33:23.000 The editor argues that Trump has lacked a, quote, national strategy for the virus.

00:33:27.000 The editor applauded Biden's pandemic plan, including increasing coronavirus testing, Chinese coronavirus testing nationwide, providing jobs to those laid off to the pandemic created by a force of contact tracers, and giving funding to schools to help support remote learning and safe reopening.

00:33:43.000 The editorial also cited the recent revelation in the Washington Post by Washington Post veteran Bob Woodward that Trump intentionally downplayed the virus.

00:33:50.000 We already debunked it.

00:33:51.000 It is a lie.

00:33:52.000 It is not true.

00:33:53.000 Additionally, they said Trump's attack on the Affordable Care Act and important health agencies have made the country less equipped.

00:33:59.000 Let me be clear.

00:34:01.000 Trump and the Republicans are pro-science.

00:34:03.000 That's why we're pro-life.

00:34:04.000 Democrats are anti-science.

00:34:06.000 They always have been.

00:34:07.000 This is Orwellian.

00:34:09.000 Scientific American says they stand for impartial evidence.

00:34:12.000 Oh, really?

00:34:13.000 Then when does life begin?

00:34:14.000 Can you tell me that?

00:34:17.000 Is it more than just a clump of cells?

00:34:18.000 And if so, what species is it?

00:34:20.000 Scientific American is now just another propaganda tool of the American left.

00:34:25.000 It doesn't really move the dial at all, but it's worthy of mentioning.

00:34:29.000 It's just another example of how the left is trying to corrupt every single vertical of influence in our society.

00:34:35.000 Thank you guys so much for listening today.

00:34:38.000 Trump has brought forth Middle East peace in defiance of all the experts.

00:34:42.000 Trump should go on Joe Rogan.
