00:00:49.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:51.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:53.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:56.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:59.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:00.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:01.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:01:03.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:08.000 Turning point USA. 0.65
00:01:10.000 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.
00:01:19.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:21.000 Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:01:27.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.
00:01:33.000 With us right now is a great American patriot Rick Grinnell.
00:01:37.000 Rick is someone who should be running the U.S. State Department right now, unlike the failed punk rocker Tony Blinken.
00:01:45.000 Rick, welcome back to the program.
00:01:46.000 Hey, thanks for having me, Charlie.
00:01:48.000 It's always a pleasure.
00:01:49.000 And I just have to add this little thing.
00:01:50.000 If we're going to talk about Anthony Blinken, people need to realize that Anthony Blinken's parents funded the George Soros Information Center.
00:01:59.000 It's named after his parents.
00:02:02.000 And the media continue to block this.
00:02:05.000 And it's an outrage, but they've been doing George Soros' bidding for decades and giving him millions of dollars to help his open society.
00:02:14.000 Wait, so Blinken's parents have been given Soros millions of dollars.
00:02:18.000 Yeah, the center, the George Soros-funded center for his work is called, if I get his parents' name right, I forget, it's named after his parents, and I forget their names, but it's the whatever their names are, Blinken Center for Information.
00:02:38.000 Wow.
00:02:38.000 Yeah.
00:02:39.000 That seems incredible.
00:02:40.000 Somebody could pull it up and give us his parents' names.
00:02:44.000 But, you know, I tried to highlight this.
00:02:46.000 Yeah, I found it right here.
00:02:47.000 Yeah, it's the Blinken Open Society Archives.
00:02:50.000 Yeah.
00:02:51.000 Incredible.
00:02:52.000 Both of his parents.
00:02:53.000 Remarkable.
00:02:54.000 Well, on that uplifting note, so Rick, walk us through how prisoner transfers usually work.
00:03:01.000 Brittany Griner goes to Russia with drugs, shouldn't have done that. 1.00
00:03:06.000 She's a fellow American, despite the fact she hates America.
00:03:08.000 She kneels during the national anthem.
00:03:10.000 Under a normal administration, I believe Brittany would already be home. 0.59
00:03:14.000 We saw that with the Ball brother, Lamar, I get them all confused, when Trump got these prisoners home.
00:03:22.000 But now it seems as if we're doing this elaborate prisoner swap with the merchant of death.
00:03:27.000 How do prisoner swaps usually work?
00:03:30.000 And why is this so outrageous?
00:03:32.000 What we're entertaining right now?
00:03:34.000 Well, I think the first thing to say is that the State Department has a whole bureau that deals with this detained Americans.
00:03:40.000 And, you know, it's a very, very slow process.
00:03:43.000 If you commit a crime in another country, we usually let the other country kind of go through the mechanations of its legal process.
00:03:50.000 We demand access.
00:03:53.000 There's consular affairs individuals, Americans working overseas in the embassies who will go see the American who's detained.
00:04:03.000 It's a very slow process, and we try not to jump forward on legal processes.
00:04:09.000 But there are times when the detained American is so outrageous that the political types and usually the NSC or the White House jump in and say, this is unacceptable.
00:04:24.000 We're not waiting.
00:04:24.000 We're going to get you home.
00:04:25.000 And I'll give you two examples under the Trump administration.
00:04:28.000 We all know ASAP Rocky, who was detained for some crazy ideas that wouldn't be so crazy here in America under the current woke system.
00:04:42.000 But we also had Pastor Brunson in Turkey.
00:04:45.000 And in both situations, in both situations, President Trump just said to Turkey and to Sweden, hey, we're going to use tariffs and our economic leverage if you don't allow this person to come home immediately.
00:05:02.000 And we're not going to negotiate.
00:05:03.000 You've got to let this person come back.
00:05:05.000 And in both instances, pretty quickly, the legal process collapsed and we got our American home.
00:05:12.000 Now, you can't use that all the time, but you certainly can use that in situations like Britney Griner.
00:05:18.000 I think what better way to show someone who hates America that America is the one who is not going to let her down just simply because she hates America, she's going to come home and realize that the American system is the greatest system in the history of the world.
00:05:34.000 She may come home a little too late and think Joe Biden wasn't the greatest president, but she certainly, and she and her family know that if Donald Trump were in office, she wouldn't be there.
00:05:44.000 Let's play cut 13.
00:05:45.000 I want your reaction on Donald Trump's take on Brittany Griner.
00:05:49.000 Always entertaining.
00:05:50.000 Play cut 13.
00:05:52.000 She went in there loaded up with drugs into a hostile territory where they're very vigilant about drugs.
00:05:57.000 They don't like drugs.
00:05:59.000 And she got caught.
00:06:01.000 And now we're supposed to get her out.
00:06:02.000 And she makes a lot of money, I guess. 0.99
00:06:05.000 But we're supposed to get her out for an absolute killer and one of the biggest arms dealers in the world. 1.00
00:06:12.000 Killed many Americans, killed many people. 0.74
00:06:15.000 And he's going to get a free card. 0.97
00:06:18.000 And we're going to get her.
00:06:20.000 She knew you don't go in there loaded up with drugs and she admitted it.
00:06:25.000 So we're going to swap the merchant of death for Brittany Griner.
00:06:29.000 I mean, talk about how these, I mean, this seems as if the worst deal in the history of prisoner swaps, a sense the one that Obama did with the Gitmo 5.
00:06:39.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:06:40.000 And I was a part of that.
00:06:43.000 The platoon mates of Bo Burgo were furious and they're my friends.
00:06:47.000 Look, the reality is, Charlie, we should not do prisoner swaps.
00:06:50.000 We should have a president who has leverage, who has credibility to be able to get Americans home and use the leverage of the U.S. government, not go down to this level of trading prisoners.
00:07:04.000 The only thing that happens when you trade prisoners is that you're putting the price on future Americans.
00:07:11.000 Every hostile government is going to grab an American so that they can then use that person as leverage once they realize we're prisoner swaps.
00:07:21.000 It's a terrible precedent.
00:07:22.000 And so Donald Trump is right.
00:07:24.000 We should not be doing a prisoner swap with Brittany Griner.
00:07:28.000 Instead, Joe Biden should be calling up Putin and demanding Brittany Greiner be released and using U.S. government leverage, not a prisoner swap.
00:07:38.000 Yeah, I mean, but what leverage do we have right now?
00:07:40.000 I mean, Putin would say, well, then stop supplying weapons to Ukraine, right?
00:07:44.000 I mean, we're not exactly on speaking terms with the Russian Federation.
00:07:48.000 Your thoughts.
00:07:49.000 Yeah, look, we have a lot of leverage to use.
00:07:51.000 You just got to get creative.
00:07:53.000 There are still countries that are dealing with Russia.
00:07:58.000 And some of those countries we have good relationships or good enough relationships with.
00:08:03.000 We should be able to really squeeze them further.
00:08:07.000 But you got to be able to have a president that's willing to do it, not submit to the bureaucracy.
00:08:11.000 What Joe Biden is doing is letting the bureaucracy of the State Department determine this.
00:08:17.000 They don't have guts.
00:08:18.000 They're going to allow this process to continue and do the diplomatic meetings.
00:08:24.000 You've got to realize that you've got leverage when you're the president of the United States.
00:08:28.000 You got to have credible leverage and you got to use it every once in a while.
00:08:32.000 Now, there's an argument to say Biden doesn't have much credibility, and certainly Putin is not afraid of him.
00:08:37.000 But the United States government does still have leverage, and you can get creative and you can get him home.
00:08:43.000 Blinken, of course, is just like completely MIA.
00:08:47.000 I mean, it's a joke.
00:08:48.000 I think he's compromised.
00:08:49.000 Really, in closing here, quick, Rick, what races are you looking at now to the midterms?
00:08:53.000 And you're spending a lot of time in the political space.
00:08:55.000 You did a lot here for Kerry Lake and for Blake Masters.
00:08:58.000 Where are you going to be spending a lot of your time?
00:08:59.000 What candidates are really exciting you?
00:09:01.000 Well, I'm following Donald Trump's lead and going where he's endorsed candidates, and I'm really pushing hard.
00:09:08.000 I'd probably say that the Nevada Senate race is top of my Adam Laxwell, top of my list.
00:09:14.000 He's an amazing American.
00:09:16.000 We certainly need Blake Masters.
00:09:18.000 I like Tudor Dixon and Kerry Lake, the governors.
00:09:22.000 I like Abe Hamaday, who's running for Attorney General right there in Arizona.
00:09:26.000 Got a great candidate in Nevada running for Attorney General.
00:09:30.000 So I'm really trying as much as possible to concentrate on the West, Charlie, since a lot of people are concentrating on the East Coast, but you and I get a little bit of less attention.
00:09:42.000 We need you in Arizona and Nevada.
00:09:44.000 Those are two big ones.
00:09:44.000 I think we could pick off both those Senate races, but the stars have to align.
00:09:48.000 We got to do the work.
00:09:49.000 Rick Rinnell, thank you so much for joining us as always.
00:09:51.000 All the best, Charlie.
00:09:52.000 Good to see you.
00:09:52.000 Thanks, you too.
00:09:56.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?
00:09:57.000 Purdue Andrews right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.
00:10:01.000 And truth is, I know there are millions of people.
00:10:03.000 In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
00:10:08.000 That can do it, getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.
00:10:12.000 They are on a mission.
00:10:13.000 You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
00:10:15.000 They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
00:10:21.000 And I believe they'll do it.
00:10:22.000 So here's the deal: if you're struggling with back pain, neck pain, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted, only $19.95.
00:10:33.000 Go to relieffactor.com.
00:10:34.000 That's relieffactor.com.
00:10:36.000 Check it out right now, relieffactor.com.
00:10:38.000 You should order the three-week quick start too.
00:10:39.000 Discount only $19.95 to see if it will work for you.
00:10:42.000 I think it possibly could.
00:10:44.000 Give your body what it needs to heal itself.
00:10:45.000 Go to relieffactor.com.
00:10:47.000 That's relieffactor.com.
00:10:48.000 Check it out right now.
00:10:52.000 They call it the Inflation Reduction Act.
00:10:54.000 Polls show that less than 12% of voters actually think it's going to reduce inflation.
00:11:00.000 Of course, it won't.
00:11:02.000 I want to play a couple pieces of tape here.
00:11:06.000 Let's start with cut eight. 0.72
00:11:07.000 Bernie Sanders admits that Biden's Inflation Reduction Act won't actually reduce inflation.
00:11:12.000 Play cut eight.
00:11:14.000 I'm going to take a moment to say a few words about the so-called Inflation Reduction Act that we are debating this evening.
00:11:24.000 And I say so-called, by the way, because according to the CBO and other economic organizations who have studied this bill, it will, in fact, have a minimal impact on inflation.
00:11:37.000 Bernie's right.
00:11:38.000 Now, Bernie's critique is probably that it doesn't confiscate enough money and clobber enough businesses that it doesn't go too far, far enough, I should say.
00:11:49.000 Cut three, Senator Chris Murphy talks about the climate change aspects of the bill.
00:11:54.000 One of the last things Rush Limbaugh said in public, he said it at our Turning Point USA Student Action Summit.
00:12:01.000 That's worth getting that tape.
00:12:03.000 2019, Rush Limbaugh with Donald Trump on stage, incredible.
00:12:08.000 He warned that the climate change issue, the environmentalist issue, will be the issue that will be used to deteriorate American sovereignty, to erode American private property.
00:12:21.000 Rush Limbaugh was 100% right to warn us about the malevolent intentions and impact that the climate change fanatics will make on America.
00:12:36.000 And what was so interesting about it is that it came out of nowhere.
00:12:39.000 Rush just kind of went up and he said, you know what?
00:12:43.000 I've always wanted to tell you guys that climate change is the biggest threat to our civilization.
00:12:49.000 Not climate change itself, the climate change political issue.
00:12:53.000 You have to understand, climate change is the wrapper around Marxism.
00:13:00.000 You have Marxism at its core and you have climate change on the exterior.
00:13:07.000 Climate change activism, environmentalism, pseudo-paganism.
00:13:12.000 We call it a Trojan horse say, wolf in sheep's clothing. 0.79
00:13:14.000 That all sounds so cliche, but it's totally true. 0.99
00:13:17.000 Play cut three.
00:13:19.000 What do you think the most impactful part of the Inflation Reduction Act will be?
00:13:25.000 Well, all I know is that people's lives are going to get better.
00:13:27.000 We have a planet that is warming at a rate that we just can't sustain.
00:13:32.000 We have kids all around this country who wonder: are the adults going to take this seriously before it's too late?
00:13:37.000 Storms, droughts, wildfires we can't control.
00:13:39.000 We now have an incentive structure in place for renewable energy so that electricity producers are going to start building solar capacity, wind capacity, instead of just more oil-fired and gas-fired power plants.
00:13:51.000 Obviously, a really productive summer, and the bottom line is that people's lives are just going to get better.
00:13:57.000 Did he say anything in those last 37 seconds?
00:14:01.000 Okay, people's lives are going to get better.
00:14:03.000 How?
00:14:04.000 87,000 new IRS agents, attacks on natural gas, more croniest handouts for solar panel production and green energy expansion.
00:14:15.000 Pete Booted Edge says that you too can own an electric vehicle.
00:14:20.000 And with it, your freedom and liberty will be deteriorated.
00:14:24.000 Remember, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
00:14:27.000 This bill from the Senate is the most ambitious, great leap forward for the great reset that we have seen of this term.
00:14:35.000 This is a great reset attempt to try to lay the foundation.
00:14:40.000 Play cut five.
00:14:42.000 I'm excited about the electric vehicle provisions because what this will do is reduce the price through tax credits of an electric vehicle.
00:14:51.000 And if you see that lower sticker price, you can afford an EV, you're also going to be saving money for every day that you own it.
00:14:57.000 Because even at lower gas prices, there's still a gas savings for people who are able to fill up on electricity instead of gas.
00:15:06.000 And they tend to require lower maintenance, too.
00:15:08.000 So that's why Nancy Pelosi bought Tesla stock. 0.99
00:15:12.000 Got it.
00:15:15.000 Subsidizing electric vehicles.
00:15:17.000 By the way, here's a question for Pete Buttigieg.
00:15:20.000 What are you going to do with the batteries?
00:15:23.000 What do you do with batteries of electric vehicles?
00:15:25.000 You can't put them into space.
00:15:27.000 They're so toxic you can't bury them.
00:15:29.000 What are you going to do with the batteries that are actually, they have more negative corrosive spillover in an electric vehicle battery once used than the potential emissions from some natural gas-powered vehicles.
00:15:46.000 What are you going to do with the battery exactly?
00:15:49.000 Oh, you even thought that through?
00:15:52.000 No, this right here, of course, is a Marxist totalitarianism, private property-grabbing, never-ending cycle.
00:16:01.000 This game will never end.
00:16:03.000 This is just the beginning.
00:16:04.000 $300 billion is just the beginning.
00:16:06.000 It's for the planet.
00:16:07.000 No, it's not.
00:16:08.000 It's for your power, is what it's for.
00:16:13.000 Are you like every one of us that thinks our country has gone nuts, whether it's Russia Gate market crashes or selling oil to China or this insane inflation?
00:16:21.000 Well, right now, you need a financial mind who understands your concerns, but at the same time, has a Christian worldview of money.
00:16:28.000 That's why you should talk to my friends at PAX Financial Group.
00:16:31.000 Look, I've given my money to PAX Financial to Manage.
00:16:34.000 If it's good enough for me, I think it's good for you.
00:16:36.000 Like all of us, they have concerns, but they also have hope.
00:16:39.000 In this market, you must have a financial person who shares your hope and at the same time can help you with biblical responsible investing, B-R-I, biblical, responsible investing.
00:16:49.000 That's why I want you to text the word Charlie to 74868.
00:16:54.000 That is Charlie to 74868 to connect with my friends at the PAX Financial Group.
00:16:59.000 Biblical responsible investing.
00:17:01.000 So take out your phone.
00:17:02.000 Just text Charlie to 74868.
00:17:04.000 That's 74868.

00:17:16.000 Joining us now is Friend of the Show and co-host of our never-ending election live stream, Jack Pasobic.
00:17:23.000 Jack, how you doing?
00:17:24.000 You know, Charlie, I'm so glad that we didn't make that in-and-out burger thing about the Joe Kent election because apparently the Joe Kent election still has not ended.
00:17:34.000 So technically, that live stream is still up and running.
00:17:36.000 You would still be fasting six days later.
00:17:39.000 That's amazing.
00:17:39.000 I'm in for it, man.
00:17:40.000 Just get my electrolytes.
00:17:41.000 I'm going to do it.
00:17:42.000 I can do it.
00:17:42.000 Ketones.
00:17:44.000 So we got to have you back for the November live stream.
00:17:47.000 It's going to be great.
00:17:48.000 So, Jack, you spoke at CPAC this last weekend.
00:17:51.000 I want to play a piece of tape.
00:17:52.000 Let's play Cut 16, Jack at CPAC.
00:17:55.000 Where is it?
00:17:56.000 Where's the $60 billion, Joe?
00:17:58.000 What have you done with this?
00:18:00.000 What percentage?
00:18:01.000 And when you look at the laptop, and we were some of the first people to have that laptop.
00:18:05.000 And I think that the American people want to support the people of Ukraine, but they inherently know that there's something going on in between us supporting them and the money not going to where it needs to be.
00:18:19.000 And that is where you get politicians, connected families, oligarchs, the whole.
00:18:24.000 Jack, you talked about the new right.
00:18:26.000 Expand on that for our audience.
00:18:28.000 It was well received.
00:18:29.000 Floor is yours.
00:18:30.000 Well, thanks, Charlie.
00:18:30.000 I appreciate that.
00:18:31.000 And, you know, this really builds on everything that was happening at the Turning Point Student Summit down in Tampa, where we had this discussion of, I think, and as you've outlined here on the program, being part of the new right means understanding what time it is.
00:18:46.000 Or as I like to say on human events, we say, do you understand what part of the movie you're in?
00:18:50.000 Right.
00:18:51.000 We're not in the beginning.
00:18:52.000 We're not in Act Two.
00:18:53.000 We're at the end of Act Two, going into Act III, where it looks like everything is its darkest and there's two doors, right?
00:19:00.000 One door is the door of the Constitution, the door of going back to the society that we all love.
00:19:06.000 The other door is mass chaos.
00:19:08.000 It's critical race theory.
00:19:10.000 It's social justice.
00:19:11.000 It's these reform prosecutors all across the country letting out violent prosecutors or violent criminals, et cetera, et cetera.
00:19:18.000 The complete dismantling of our society.
00:19:20.000 And we can choose, and that's what this election is all about.
00:19:23.000 But the idea of the new right is because we are in a fourth turning.
00:19:27.000 And as we talk about on War Room all the time.
00:19:29.000 Worth reading that, by the way.
00:19:31.000 People need to understand that it is in the fourth turning.
00:19:34.000 It doesn't just end all by itself.
00:19:36.000 The fourth turning actually goes into a first turning.
00:19:40.000 And there is a movement of people within that fourth turning that rise up and defend society and rebuild once the chaos has ended.
00:19:50.000 That's what the new right is all about.
00:19:52.000 What is the fourth turning?
00:19:53.000 It was published in 1996.
00:19:55.000 Explain to our audience what the fourth turning is.
00:19:57.000 So the fourth turning essentially is a theory that history operates essentially in 80-year cycles.
00:20:04.000 So you look at the Civil War, World War II, the American Revolution, they all kind of end up with this.
00:20:09.000 And the long and short of it, you may have seen an online meme of this where people will say, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create bad times, bad times create strong men.
00:20:22.000 And so that cycle seems to be playing out throughout all of history.
00:20:28.000 And it's actually very hard.
00:20:29.000 I've thought about it.
00:20:30.000 I'm sure you have as well.
00:20:31.000 You know, some way to refute this cycle.
00:20:33.000 And yet we see it again and again and again.
00:20:36.000 I haven't quite figured out the refutation of it, but I think the through line, right, the through line is that we understand what it takes to build societies.
00:20:44.000 And there's always a sort of cadre of people, a certain percentage of people that understand what it was like when times were good and the work that it took to get there.
00:20:52.000 And this is why the understanding of history, our true history, and the understanding of our traditions, why our traditions are important is so important to keep.
00:21:01.000 You know, we just spent after CPAC, we actually flew up to upstate New York and we were at my great-great-grandparents' farm where they, or excuse me, my children's great-grandparents' farm, where they came in from Poland and had founded this farm in upstate New York.
00:21:18.000 And the fact that my kids were eating blackberries, right, that were planted by those immigrants that came over.
00:21:23.000 It's an understanding.
00:21:25.000 This is what came before.
00:21:26.000 This is the work that it took to build the United States of America.
00:21:30.000 And a respect, I think a healthy respect for those who came before, not just charging forward with whatever the latest fad is, whatever the latest thing is.
00:21:39.000 We'll play a piece of tape here of the great Rush Limbaugh talking about America First.
00:21:45.000 Which one is that?
00:21:45.000 Is that 18 or is that a different one?
00:21:48.000 We could have cut 19.
00:21:50.000 Listen to this, Jack.
00:21:50.000 I want your response.
00:21:51.000 Play Cut 19.
00:21:52.000 Rush Limbaugh at our Turning Point USA Student Action Summit, his last public speech that we know of.
00:21:58.000 Play Cut 19.
00:21:59.000 Make America Great.
00:22:00.000 Why?
00:22:01.000 Why is Make America Great so controversy?
00:22:04.000 Stop and think a minute.
00:22:06.000 Who could oppose it?
00:22:07.000 Somebody comes along and says, I want to make America great again.
00:22:11.000 Why is that controversial?
00:22:14.000 Why in the world is that controversial?
00:22:17.000 And then somebody comes along and says, I think we ought to be America first again.
00:22:21.000 Why is that controversial?
00:22:23.000 Why do people oppose America first?
00:22:26.000 Why do people oppose making America great again?
00:22:28.000 I'll tell you why.
00:22:31.000 The people who think Make America Great Again is not good think that it is a throwback to 200 years ago America. 0.83
00:22:42.000 They think that it is code for taking America back to the days when it was manifestly unfair, racist, sexist, bigot, homophone. 0.99
00:22:50.000 It is not that.
00:22:51.000 Make America Great Again is let's get back and restore the principles of the founding.
00:22:56.000 America First is based on the solution and the submission that America is the solution to the world's problems. 0.84
00:23:03.000 It is not the problem.
00:23:04.000 The left in America, the left around the world thinks America is the problem and we're not.
00:23:09.000 When America leads, when America triumphs, when America prospers, the world does greater than ever.
00:23:22.000 So ahead of the curve.
00:23:23.000 That was December 2019.
00:23:24.000 Jack, your thoughts.
00:23:26.000 Yeah, Charlie, I can't help but getting choked up a little bit listening to that because I was there.
00:23:32.000 I was there with my wife and with Tanya and we were there that day.
00:23:36.000 And we didn't know, right?
00:23:38.000 Couldn't possibly have known that that turning point uh, Student Action Summit would be, as far as we know, Rush's last public certainly uh, certainly publicly billed um speech.
00:23:48.000 And you know I actually said when, when delivering my talk on what is the new right, I said the two founding fathers of the new right, Andrew Breitbart and Rush Limbaugh, and and they got this, they just got this directly.
00:24:02.000 You know it's interesting that Rush was talking about make America great again, and if you go on the Wikipedia page for Make America great Again you scroll down to I think it's like paragraph three or four.
00:24:11.000 It says, it just says blatantly, numerous scholars have held that the phrase Make America great again is a racist dog whistle and starts, you know, detailing everything that that he said in the first part of his statement but never actually says what the people who say and support Make America great again and, in addition, America first actually believe when they say it, and so this, of course.
00:24:35.000 You know this.
00:24:35.000 You know go trust Wikipedia with that.
00:24:37.000 That's where they will set their redefinition of words, whether it be the redefinition of the word woman or recession or groomer or any of these things make.
00:24:46.000 They'll even redefine your own slogans so that people who don't know better.
00:24:50.000 And Rush came up, of course, coined the term low information voters that are low information voters going to look at this and say, oh my gosh well, I couldn't possibly support that.
00:24:57.000 And that's why Charlie, it's so important to have programs like yours and to have rav out there and other places out there that are pushing this um, this movement, and really standing up and saying, you know what?
00:25:08.000 We are going to fight back against this because there is, believe it or not, objective truth.
00:25:13.000 There's no such thing as subjective truth.
00:25:15.000 It's not my truth, it's not your truth, it's the truth and we are going to fight for that.
00:25:19.000 So jack, this kind of idea of the new right uh, it seems as if that was the predominant focus at both.
00:25:25.000 Our turning point, Usa Soon Action summit.
00:25:27.000 Also at Cpac, there's very little oxygen left in the room for kind of the Republican gatekeepers of old.
00:25:35.000 It seems as if they're just getting picked off one by one, by one.
00:25:39.000 What do we need to do to kind of put our foot to the accelerator now till november, some of the most consequential 90 days of our life, because this is the country you and I are going to have to live in.
00:25:50.000 What?
00:25:50.000 What is?
00:25:51.000 What is the marching orders now, in the next 90 days?
00:25:54.000 Well, I think it's incredible that and i'm sure you've seen the headlines, of course the Turning Point Action just announced that governor Desantis is going to be going to campaign across the swing states and the battleground states in the country for the America First candidates.
00:26:07.000 It's being set up through Turning Point Action, all the Trump endorsed candidates and what I believe it's titled unite and win.
00:26:13.000 That's right and that's the idea.
00:26:14.000 We are going to unite the party now.
00:26:16.000 We're going to unite everyone together.
00:26:17.000 We're going to reach out to independents and say, if you believe in this program, if you believe in this program of putting the American people first, and whether that's the people of Arizona, the people of Michigan, the people of uh Pennsylvania, the people of Ohio, et cetera, etc.
00:26:30.000 The people hopefully, of Washington's third district, if Joe Kent's able to pull it out there and it's looking good, but you know, we'll see.
00:26:36.000 Um it's, it's this all right right, right.
00:26:38.000 It's this understanding that we are going to reorient our government and, instead of being a government for all the people all over the entire world, we're going to be a government that says, you know what we do care about Detroit more than we care about Shanghai.
00:26:52.000 We care about Philadelphia more than we care about Paris, etc., etc., that your needs come first.
00:26:57.000 The shooting galleries in our cities, the drug and opioid epidemics coming across our border, actually doing something about our north, by the way, our southern and northern borders and dealing with all of these issues.
00:27:09.000 We're going to focus here at home.
00:27:10.000 We're going to pull the plank of wood out of our own eye before we go around and start dealing with the rest of the world.
00:27:16.000 I think that's a huge movement.
00:27:18.000 I said in the speech as well, that I think, you know, trade, immigration, national security, the culture wars, that's really the coalition here.
00:27:28.000 When you put that coalition together, that's why you're seeing this huge movement with Hispanics right now.
00:27:32.000 You're also, by the way, and the media hasn't even caught up on this yet, you're seeing movement in the African-American community too.
00:27:37.000 Why?
00:27:38.000 Because those are issues that everyone cares about.
00:27:41.000 It's not pandering, it's real life kitchen table issues.
00:27:44.000 That's what it's all about.
00:27:46.000 I want to talk about Ukraine and how that kind of all intersects with this.
00:27:50.000 As just the breaking news, the last couple of moments: U.S. just approves another $4.5 billion aid package to Ukraine, Jack.
00:27:58.000 Another billion military peace.
00:28:01.000 It doesn't stop, you know, the 51st state of Ukraine.
00:28:04.000 Your thoughts on the recent aid transfer to Ukraine?
00:28:07.000 Well, look, you know, I'm actually thinking that, you know, we're launching the Human Events Daily show tonight here on RAV.
00:28:13.000 Oh, that's one of the things that's amazing.
00:28:15.000 I forgot to mention that.
00:28:16.000 Yeah.
00:28:16.000 I want to get one of those tickers, right?
00:28:18.000 Maybe we can set this up.
00:28:19.000 Maybe not for tonight, but maybe for tomorrow.
00:28:20.000 Get one of these tickers in the bottom corner, just dollar by dollar, minute by minute, as it goes over to Ukraine.
00:28:26.000 So we'll be there at 10 p.m.
00:28:28.000 And I want that ticker in the corner, at least when we talk about it, right?
00:28:30.000 You know, here's how many of your dollars are being sent to Ukraine, a country, by the way, that, you know, I still think that a good amount of Americans probably wouldn't be, you know, they get a hold of it on a map, but probably wouldn't be front of, probably not front of mind.
00:28:45.000 Yeah, that's just incredible when you see the amount of money that is being spent overseas.
00:28:54.000 That is no connection to the homeland.
00:28:56.000 Tell us about your show, 10 o'clock Eastern on Real America's Voice.
00:29:00.000 It's very exciting.
00:29:01.000 So what we've done is we have Human Events Daily, which is powered by Turning Point USA.
00:29:06.000 We've been doing it as a podcast.
00:29:08.000 We've been doing it on just live streams and Rumble and everywhere else.
00:29:12.000 But as of today, this very day, we will now be joining forces just like yourself, just like War Room.
00:29:20.000 We are being picked up by Real America's Voice.
00:29:23.000 So we'll be launching 10 p.m. Eastern, 7 p.m. Arizona time, and then immediately followed by the great Drew Hernandez, who's doing his frontline show.
00:29:31.000 That's going to be five nights a week.
00:29:33.000 And so it's kind of like, you know, you had the, you know, you had the, you know, Charlie and Bannon, they're kind of covering the daytime.
00:29:40.000 Now you got Drew and Poso in the nighttime kind of coming in.
00:29:43.000 So now you'll finally be able to get your full day, full court press.
00:29:46.000 And where better than understanding that you have to be keeping up to date almost 24-7 in this game because this is the new right.
00:29:55.000 And Steve Bannon, I think, said it best when he opened his speech at CPAC by simply saying, we're at war.
00:30:03.000 And you can call it whatever you want, but from a political standpoint, this is an existential fight for the republic.
00:30:10.000 And I keep saying it.
00:30:11.000 There's two doors, Charlie, right?
00:30:12.000 One door is the republic.
00:30:14.000 One door is rebuilding this amazing republic, this amazing country that we had.
00:30:19.000 The other door is complete destabilization and essentially letting the Bolsheviks win. 0.97
00:30:24.000 And we all know what happens when we let the Bolsheviks win. 0.99
00:30:26.000 The criminals run amok, the crazies go nuts.
00:30:30.000 Where we're basically, I mean, if you look at this act that just passed the Senate only by one vote, the vote of Kamala Harris last night, I mean, we're pretty much at the looting the treasury part of the decline.
00:30:40.000 They know, right?
00:30:41.000 They know this isn't sustainable over the long term, but they don't care.
00:30:45.000 That's why all this money that's going to Ukraine, look, CBS just ran a story the other night that only 30% of the aid that's being sent over is actually making it to the front lines.
00:30:55.000 And that's when Turning Point sent myself, my brother, we went over to Odessa, we went to Mikolaev, we went to Lviv.
00:31:01.000 We kept asking, where's the 60 billion dollars?
00:31:04.000 It was 60 billion at the time.
00:31:05.000 Now we're going to have to reset it.
00:31:06.000 Again, that's why we're going to need the ticker on Real America's Voice when we do the show.
00:31:10.000 I want to put a ticker in the bottom corner that tells exactly, you know, every up to the minute how many dollars it's been because they know that it's not, and you know this, Charlie, and all the work that you've done in terms of covering government spending, that it's not about the intentions of the program.
00:31:26.000 It's about the details.
00:31:27.000 The devil's always in the details.
00:31:29.000 Who gets the vendors, who gets paid off, who's making money off of this in the middle, making money off the transactions the same way the ESG scam works.
00:31:37.000 When you look at this, that money is not actually ending up in the hands of the Ukrainian people, the Ukrainian women, the Ukrainian children, the men that are fighting on the front lines in this war.
00:31:49.000 That, you know, we're looking at it and we're saying, why is this an existential threat for the United States when you go and look at the killings that are going on in the border zone in Arizona, in Texas, in New Mexico?
00:32:01.000 When you want to go and fight, you know, find an actual force that's worthy of direct U.S. involvement.
00:32:08.000 I say, look no further than the southern border.
00:32:10.000 It's right there.
00:32:10.000 You've got everything you need.
00:32:12.000 It's like an episode of the Sicario series every single weekend playing out down there.
00:32:17.000 And yet, for some reason, we're not even allowed to talk about it.
00:32:20.000 Well, it's very clear that the neoconservatives actually have contempt for America and they have reverence for their ideology and nation building from afar.
00:32:33.000 Jack, super quick, as we're closing here, it seems as if there's a lot of political drama happening right now, Washington, D.C., and with all the midterms that are popping up.
00:32:43.000 I just want to keep on hitting this point forward, though.
00:32:45.000 We have to be vigilant against Republican establishment, the Republican establishment trying to make our victory in November more difficult.
00:32:53.000 Your thoughts, one minute remaining.
00:32:56.000 Blow out the numbers.
00:32:57.000 We need a blowout victory in the House and a blowout victory in the Senate. 0.97
00:33:01.000 I want to see as many R's as possible in there because we need America firsters. 1.00
00:33:05.000 We need MAGA in there. 0.87
00:33:06.000 Guess what?
00:33:07.000 People have said we need a third party in the United States.
00:33:09.000 Well, we have one.
00:33:10.000 It just happens to be inside the Republican Party, and that's called MAGA.
00:33:13.000 It's well said.
00:33:14.000 Jack Basobic, congratulations on your program.
00:33:16.000 I'll be watching tonight Human Events Daily powered by Turning Point USA every night at 10 o'clock Eastern on Real America's Voice.
00:33:23.000 That's 7 o'clock Arizona time.
