00:01:10.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:21.000Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:30.000So we got sweatshirt Shrek, who is the U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania, John Fetterman, and the great James O'Keefe, who he's had a very, let's just say, interesting year.
00:01:44.000Andrew, I think you would agree because he has in like 60 days stood up an unbelievable media operation where he had every excuse to kind of just go on the sidelines.
00:01:55.000And now this guy's breaking stories like you wouldn't believe.
00:01:58.000I'm telling you, people do not understand how hard it is to stand up an organization overnight.
00:04:12.000We're equipping them with cameras and they're meeting with these people.
00:04:15.000This happens to be in Washington, D.C.
00:04:17.000This guy that you saw on camera is a special assistant to John Fetterman.
00:04:23.000He basically holds his iPad, holds his fanny pack, gives him his medication, et cetera, et cetera, very close to him, as close as someone could possibly be.
00:04:31.000And he's saying all the things that Fetterman really believes.
00:04:36.000I asked him if he wants to ban the First Amendment.
00:04:38.000I would assume so, because in this tape, he says that they treat journalists as puppets.
00:04:43.000And he named certain journalists, Charlie.
00:04:45.000He names like Pod Save America and other sort of lefty journalists that they basically use as their ombudsman.
00:04:53.000So none of this is shocking or surprising, obviously, to anybody, but you never actually see people say these things on video.
00:05:00.000You never see them say them on the air.
00:05:02.000So I've been doing this for, as you know, 15 years.
00:05:06.000We're in the confirm suspicions business.
00:05:08.000That's what we do now at O'Keeffe Media Group.
00:05:11.000And what we really want to do is to create copycats, Charlie.
00:05:14.000We want people to go out there and meet with politicians, their staff, administrative state people, you know, anyone that's lying, cheating, or stealing.
00:05:24.000We want them to copy what this young woman did and we'll pay them $1,000.
00:06:47.000This is like a seven-minute long thing.
00:06:49.000So Twitter, just an hour ago, Charlie approved Twitter subscriptions for me.
00:06:55.000So what we're going to do is launch, I launched a minute-long thing there, and there'll be a 30-second reel, but we'll put, well, we have to figure out a way to pay our bills.
00:07:04.000So we're going to charge $7 a month for people on Twitter.
00:08:03.000And these things are pretty entertaining.
00:08:04.000It's like the catch a predator sort of thing, except not with child predators, but with lying Washington, D.C. Congress critters.
00:08:13.000Can you just remind people about O'Keeffe Media Group, how they can get involved, how they can support you, because you want to democratize in the best possible way a decentralized conservative journalism, almost guerrilla operation.
00:08:34.000Look at what happened with Tucker Carlson at Fox News.
00:08:37.000Look at the majority owners of these companies.
00:08:41.000Look at the majority owners of Pfizer and the stakeholders and the stockholders and the pernicious influence of advertising on media and the lack of investigative journalism.
00:08:55.000So you need to decentralize journalism.
00:08:59.000You need a movement of integrity and accountability.
00:09:01.000We've talked about this for many years.
00:09:03.000But the way to do it with an O'Keefe Media Group, what we're trying to do is we're trying to put out bombshell reports every week.
00:09:09.000We hope we'll have one every single week.
00:09:11.000And we want to pay you to go out there and record what's happening.
00:09:16.000And we're going to democratize it, like you said.
00:09:18.000And if you go on our website, O'KeefeMediaGroup.com, you can sign up to be a journalist and we will deploy you and we will equip you so that you can do this sort of thing.
00:09:28.000We're going to be producing a series of masterclasses that'll be coming out next month.
00:09:32.000And this girl in this video, look at what she did.
00:10:47.000Look, are you concerned about the American K-12 education system?
00:10:51.000Are you worried about what your children and your grandchildren are learning or honestly not learning in school?
00:10:56.000If you answer yes, my friends at Hillsdale College have a free resource for you.
00:11:00.000Hillsdale College understands the importance of education to the future of our country.
00:11:03.000They're now offering 10 free print copies of their recent issue of En Primus.
00:11:10.000It's titled Education as a Battleground, written by Hillsdale College President Larry P. Arne.
00:11:15.000The special issue provides a factual account of the issues in the ongoing battle over education, explaining why parents and teachers, not unelected bureaucrats or activists, should guide what our children are learning.
00:11:29.000With Hillsdale College, you can make a difference in your community by distributing these copies of En Primus at your church, local business, or even in your doctor's office.
00:11:38.000Do not miss this opportunity to arm yourself with the facts.
00:11:41.000Claim your 10 free copies of Education as a Battleground by visiting charlie4hillsdale.com.
00:14:19.000In fact, it even goes out of its way to say TPUSA Faith makes every church they work with sign a 501c3 disclosure to make sure not to violate.
00:15:22.000It comes out of like, you know, Star Wars.
00:15:24.000He says, the doctrine of McCoy's church insists that Jesus will return to earth, literally in the Bible, to establish a kingdom of which there will be no end.
00:16:47.000I mean, if there was any more clear-cut case that these people hate America, it's the fact that they can't even get behind the fact that our founders, the people who founded America, were Christians and they were nationalists.
00:16:58.000So, again, the founding fathers would have been labeled by Rolling Stone as Christian nationalists.
00:17:03.000But the focus on fundamentalism, again, what does fundamentalism mean actually mean?
00:17:07.000Represents a clear and present danger to democracy.
00:17:12.000Training a younger generation to raise up champions of lower taxes and fewer regulations is one thing.
00:17:16.000It's quite another to seek to organize end times zealots with the aim of achieving a religious takeover of the secular United States.
00:17:24.000Okay, first of all, we want people to live free, free from degeneracy, free from trans tyranny, and a beautiful life of flourishing.
00:17:38.000Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, Mike Lindell with My Pillow is launching the My Pillow 2.0.
00:17:44.000That's right, you heard me, My Pillow 2.0.

00:18:51.000There's not some sort of secret agenda.
00:18:53.000If you properly understood, the Declaration and the Constitution are quote-unquote radical documents in the eyes of secular left-wing Marxist postmodern reporters because they actually are at odds with the idea of checks and balances, consent to the governed, a republic, not a democracy.
00:19:08.000The idea that you could separate from tyranny, virtue being necessary for a free people.
00:20:12.000I just want to say, and I said this to Rich, I said, listen, the vast majority of conservatives, vast majority of Christian conservatives, yeah, they might have theological differences on homosexuality, gay marriage, whatever.
00:20:24.000There is a big difference between all of that.
00:20:27.000And you come after our kids and you come after the culture at large.
00:20:31.000You start shoving it down everybody's face all the time.
00:20:33.000Yeah, you're going to get pushback on that stuff, but they want to turn it into this Christian nationalism with a handmaid's tail or whatever.
00:21:11.000I did hear about it, and then I have it up actually on my browser.
00:21:16.000Now I didn't get through it all yet, but it's like the first six paragraphs, Charlie, immediately jump out at me.
00:21:21.000It says, you know, you are founded on promoting free markets, and now we're turning to this, you know, this brand of Christianity, pushing Christianity.
00:21:28.000It's ignorance, though, because free markets and capitalism, as our founders believed in it, is not the pursuit of greed or wealth for wealth's sake.
00:21:37.000They believe in things like the Protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism.
00:21:41.000Max Weber, it's a pretty important book.
00:21:43.000I mean, it just seems like these people don't really know what they're talking about.
00:21:47.000They don't know the worldviews that inform the founders who designed this government and our country.
00:21:53.000So there's nothing at odds with promoting free markets and promoting Christian values.
00:22:00.000You know, there's nothing at odds with the people who are not.
00:22:06.000We love free markets because we love people and it points towards flourishing and goodness and wealth creation and personal responsibility and private property is a necessary prerequisite against tyranny.
00:22:17.000Guys, the people that were behind the most successful civilizations in the history of the world happened to be Christians.
00:22:25.000They happened to be characters that came out of the Enlightenment, that came out of the Christian Enlightenment, that believed devoutly in their God and their Savior.
00:23:29.000You know, I think that there were some people on the right who were always skeptical of Elon Musk taking over Twitter and whether or not he was a very big promoter of free speech or whatever his motives were.
00:23:57.000For anybody who's been on the receiving end of the attacks from DeSantis people who don't like what you have to say, you shouldn't be surprised.
00:24:27.000This idea, and maybe it's just the modern world that we're in.
00:24:31.000It is not the way it was 15 years ago, you know, 10 years ago, where people jump in a race, there's this big production news event, and then they get all this favorable coverage and they get a bump.
00:24:45.000The truth is, I'm kind of in the camp with Harry Enton and even Nate Cohen at the New York Times.
00:25:01.000I think it was to put a lot on that, a lot of emphasis on that, because if he doesn't get it, and I'll tell you right now, in our poll, people track daily like us, there's no bump.
00:26:11.000Yeah, Rich, what you're saying, I just want to make sure the audience is king in on it because you and I had a chance to brief on it before the show.
00:26:18.000You're basically saying in what should amount to the most favorable DeSantis sort of district, right, based on education, based on wealth, based on just everything that you'd polled before, that especially earlier in the year, folks were trending towards DeSantis in this group.
00:26:34.000You're saying you're not seeing that now in an area that should be bright for DeSantis.
00:26:40.000Is that essentially what you're saying?
00:26:44.000Even when we had DeSantis at about 31% nationally and Trump in the low 40s, 43%, had we polled this district at that time, I bet we would have saw either a tie race or maybe even DeSantis leading by a few points.
00:26:58.000This is an area where 20 or roughly one in five Republicans have an advanced grad an advanced degree, and yet another 25, 30% have a four-year degree.
00:27:11.000Very small working class, not a big 30 to 50,000 group.
00:27:43.000So, even in his own state, you know, where we thought he did so well in South Florida, well, he's getting killed in those districts in South Florida.
00:28:16.000You may convince 15 to 25 percent, but not a majority.
00:28:20.000And they already saw this man win a general election, and most of them believe that something happened in 20 that prevented him from winning that one.
00:28:29.000So it's just an argument to a very small subset of the Republican primary vote.
00:28:35.000And it's honestly a little bit shocking to me, you know, that there aren't more people who have put a lot more thought in how to really beat Donald Trump because this is the same old, same old gentleman.
00:28:45.000I'm not seeing anything different here.
00:28:47.000Ron DeSantis' camp is acting like what I saw in 2016 and 15.
00:29:11.000I mean, I know you might say, Charlie, the list of companies, I can't keep track of all of them.
00:29:15.000That's why I tell you guys, go to publicsq.com, download the app.
00:29:18.000It can be your compass can help you navigate all this.
00:29:21.000Okay, Rich Barris, I know we're talking about something different here and something separate.
00:29:24.000Rich, I want to get your reaction, though.
00:29:27.000From what I've been talking to donors and chatter, Tim Scott, it seems, actually is getting some of the billionaire class interest more so than Ron DeSantis this week.
00:29:55.000Also, you know, his position on the committee has given him a lot of big network to a lot of Wall Street guys and a lot of Wall Street donors.
00:30:07.000With the exception of his mic going out, which wasn't good, with the exception of that happening during his announcement speech, he was very good.
00:30:15.000And that's what I would have expected from Tim Scott.
00:30:18.000The problem is, guys, and getting back to some of the polling that we were just talking about in the prior segment, even in these areas, we asked people, really, what kind of brand of Republicanism are you identifying with this year?
00:31:39.000If you meet him in person, folks, he really is.
00:31:41.000He's a very likable guy, and they just feel like he's got more charisma than some of these other non-Trump candidates.
00:31:50.000Hey, Rich, so I want to make sure I understand the logic here, right?
00:31:54.000It's, you know, is the calculus that Trump is going to lock down that, I guess, more conservative, as Joe Biden calls it, the MAGA, the MAGA Republican base, that quadrant of the party or that half of the party, is the calculus that if you kind of signal more of an establishment tone, if you signal, you know, maybe they call it polish or, you know, Trumpism without the drama, whatever that, whatever that lane is, is the calculus that there's 51%,
00:32:23.000is there enough to win a Republican primary if you're going kind of in that lane, if you will?
00:32:29.000I have heard directly from people around Haley, Scott, and DeSantis that a majority of Republicans don't want America first and want to move on from America first.
00:33:04.000Some of the things that these non-Trump candidates are running on, these ideas, the logic, is just flawed.
00:33:11.000And I think they've grappled, you know, grabbed onto it.
00:33:13.000They really thought the environment after the midterms was going to hold.
00:33:18.000But what they didn't realize is that even at his lowest point, 43%, it was incredibly difficult to prevent him from getting another seven with all of those undecideds and all of those other candidates.
00:33:31.000When you ask people who their second choice was, it was still Donald Trump.
00:33:35.000It wasn't like these, all of these people were anti-Trump and nobody, you know, anyone but Trump, they weren't.
