00:00:36.000His 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.
00:00:44.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:00:56.000Brought to you by my friends, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage, 888, 888, 1172 or Andrew and Todd.com.
00:01:07.000Ron DeSantis has been in the headlines the last couple of days.
00:01:11.000I think some of the coverage of him has been unfair.
00:01:14.000Some of it, I think, has been pretty good feedback.
00:01:18.000I think people have been really fired up at Governor DeSantis because they feel as if in that press conference, he kind of took a little bit of a low jab against Trump.
00:01:25.000He didn't quite understand how angry people were about this ridiculous overreach abuse of indictment authority and prosecutorial abuse done by, potentially done by Alvin Bragg in Manhattan because it seemed as if they were going to indict Donald Trump.
00:01:40.000And now that's a little bit more in question, largely because of the media and the PR backlash.
00:01:46.000But Ron DeSantis the other day said this, and let's just play it again.
00:01:50.000Again, and I think that some of the representations of this press conference have been overblown.
00:01:58.000At the same time, I'll be honest, he missed an opportunity.
00:02:21.000You're talking about this situation with, and look, I don't know what goes into paying hush money to a porn star to secure silence over some type of alleged affair.
00:02:33.000But what I can speak to is that if you have a prosecutor who is ignoring crimes happening every single day in his jurisdiction, and he chooses to go back many, many years ago to try to use something about porn star hush money payments, you know, that's an example of pursuing a political agenda and weaponizing the office.
00:02:59.000And I think that that's fundamentally wrong.
00:03:02.000Now, that statement did not sit well with a lot of you, the audience, and especially amongst a lot of conservative commentators, largely because there was this opportunity.
00:03:13.000There was this opportunity to do something that I think the base wanted to see, where they wanted to see somebody stand up against the bully.
00:03:21.000They wanted to see somebody to use political power to stand up against this Alvin Bragg guy who very well, for the first time in American history, will indict a former president.
00:03:31.000And the New York Times even did a legal analysis and determined that the New York District Attorney's Office has never brought a criminal referral on a campaign finance violation before.
00:04:05.000But despite the pettiness that this campaign has kind of unfortunately descended into, the idea of indicting a former president is bigger than name-calling.
00:04:16.000And so the question is: well, what should Ron DeSantis have done from a policy perspective?
00:04:20.000And I think that's a very interesting question because outside of just issuing a statement and saying, I don't like it and he's doing prosecutor overreach, which he did include in his statement, I think it's critical to explore why it is that a blue state DA could just invent a new law to be able to indict a former president, to interfere with the presidential election.
00:04:46.000If Joe Biden is running for president in 2024, how is Alvin Bragg not doing the political bidding of the Biden campaign?
00:04:54.000This is a direct election interference.
00:05:52.000He's a friend, but he hasn't been the target of false and persistent allegations like President Trump has.
00:05:59.000And so I don't think he really understands the nature of this fight right now.
00:06:03.000I think that it was a bit uncouth for him to take a jab at the former president.
00:06:07.000And there's a role for the governor of Florida here, I think, to stand up for our state, for the rule of law, and to push back against the Sorosization of the criminal justice system.
00:06:18.000So then what does this moment necessitate?
00:06:21.000And this is a question that we ask of conservative politicians, pundits, people in the conservative movement.
00:06:46.000If you're trying to tell me you're going to indict a former president through a campaign finance violation in New York, I'm going to send the Florida sheriffs and say this warrant does not apply.
00:06:56.000Now, the ramifications of that are extreme.
00:07:00.000I think it warrants it in this situation.
00:07:03.000What good are red states if you do not stand up for what is right and what is moral and what is clear?
00:07:10.000It'd be one thing if we had a video of Donald Trump firebombing police officers with Molotov cocktails like the BLM activists.
00:07:17.000It'd be one thing if we had evidence of Donald Trump on Jeffrey Epstein's plane going down to the island like we do with Bill Gates and Bill Clinton.
00:07:27.000It'd be one thing if we have evidence of Donald Trump smashing cell phones like Hillary Clinton did.
00:07:32.000It'd be one thing if we have evidence of Donald Trump getting millions of dollars from Chinese Communist Party affiliated companies for absolutely nothing in return.
00:07:42.000Then I would say, hey, let's not cross that Rubicon.
00:07:45.000This is an invented, it is a fictional legal prosecution that they are probing right now.
00:07:52.000And now the media is saying, oh, wow, Matt Gates is calling for quasi-secession.
00:07:56.000How dare states stand up and say that this is wrong.
00:09:41.000We're going to carve out our own areas.
00:09:42.000So why doesn't Ron DeSantis create a sanctuary state for a former president under political persecution?
00:09:50.000If the left is able to create sanctuary states for rapists and murderers, thugs and criminals, I don't think it's too big of an ass for Ron DeSantis to create a sanctuary state for a former president who's being persecuted by a Soros-funded DA in a separate state.
00:10:10.000And so the last couple of years, we've lived under this precedent where blue states are able to carve out their own laws.
00:10:20.000When it came to immigration law, we just kind of rolled our eyes and said, well, I guess that's what happened in San Francisco, New York, L.A.
00:10:26.000So they're able to carve out sanctuary states for illegals, violent felons, by the way.
00:10:46.000New York City, defended by Hakeem Jeffries, can say illegals, foreign nationals, and border trespassers are allowed in the city of New York, and they're allowed to carve out their own laws.
00:11:13.000The sheriff says if those laws hadn't been in place, Officer Singh would be alive today.
00:11:17.000My experience in New York has been different where members of the NYPD, clearly the most professional, highly trained law enforcement entity in the country, if not the world, has been that these sanctuary laws actually help promote public safety by encouraging cooperation, encouraging communication between community and police.
00:11:41.000Remember this saying in Cut 52, it's actually recently UNESCO Hernandez for the LA City Council saying that illegal immigrants are the lifeblood of the city of Los Angeles.
00:11:54.000A city of Los Angeles that protects immigrants, that welcomes immigrants, that say you are the lifeblood of the city and that we embrace you, that we love you, and you are part of our community, and we will do everything so that you can live in the city and thrive.
00:12:09.000And finally, St. Louis leaders respond to the threats from the U.S. Department of Justice, this is under Trump, and they're basically saying, We're going to keep on doing sanctuary cities in outright defiance of the federal government.
00:12:23.000So you can just make up your own laws now.
00:12:24.000The answer is yes, and we've just taken it.
00:12:26.000So the left is able to carve out their own laws, their own convenient places that make them comfortable for lawbreaking, crime, rape, arson, and yes, gender mutilation, which I'll get to in a second.
00:12:42.000St. Louis leaders are responding to threats from the U.S. Department of Justice to stick it to sanctuary cities.
00:12:48.000In a conversation with five on your side today, Lewis Reed said it is outrageous the federal government wants to set local policies just to fit President Trump's priorities.
00:12:58.000He also said the city has a lot of problems and illegal immigration just is not at the top of the list.
00:13:04.000Oh, they have a lot of problems and they want to keep the federal government out of the way.
00:13:09.000Well, did you know right now, California SB 107, California is saying they're going to ignore anti-mutilation laws in other states.
00:13:18.000In fact, it goes so far to say that if you bring your child to California and you say you're fleeing the anti-trans laws, they'll ignore family court rulings.
00:13:29.000They will say that the court rulings from other states do not apply in California.
00:13:57.000The left has already forced a constitutional crisis.
00:14:00.000People are losing their mind because all of a sudden they realize that conservatives are beginning to stand up against their overreach, their abuse of power.
00:14:08.000Isn't this the perfect opportunity to say you're not going to actually be able to extradite him?
00:14:14.000If we had an honest media, I wouldn't be the first one telling you this.
00:14:18.000The left forced the hand of the constitutional crisis here.
00:14:21.000Sanctuary cities, refusal to deport, refusal to comply with federal officials.
00:14:27.000Remember Chaz, the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone?
00:14:30.000And then, of course, now this other one, this anti-trans, this what they call is the anti-mutilation laws in California, where they can create their own laws and carve outs and ignore what other states are doing.
00:14:42.000If that's the new precedent, then so be it.
00:14:46.000The line should be drawn and should say you're not going to be able to extradite him.
00:14:49.000He's safe here in the state of Florida.
00:14:51.000He's welcome here in the state of Florida.
00:14:55.000If you can have a refugee-type policy for kids that are getting medically mutilated in Arkansas and they fly to Los Angeles to try to get their parts chopped off, then I think President Trump should be able to rest at Mar-a-Lago without having to worry about an extradition request from one state to the other.
00:15:14.000Now, some people say, well, Charlie, this is so extreme.
00:16:12.000Each kit gives you a wide variety of delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, and snacks, providing over 2,000 calories a day for optimum strength and energy.
00:17:04.000This would be one of the great swings and a miss if they get this close with all the bluster, all the PR, all the media, all the hype, and they blink and they back off.
00:19:14.000The question is this, do they have interstate extradition over traffic violations, over parking violations?
00:19:21.000I venture a guess, and I don't know the complexities of the law here, but one of the reasons why Alvin Bragg wants to put this up to a felony status is I think that then gives him more power for interstate extradition.
00:19:35.000I'm speculating, but there are certain things that don't actually get you up to the threshold where they just send the sheriff after you.
00:19:45.000I think it's a yes for almost anything, but states almost only bother to do this for felonies.
00:19:50.000They're not going to just do this for like trespassing or misdemeanor in every single case.
00:19:55.000Now, it is a former president, so it would be hard not to ignore it, but shouldn't we at least go through some sort of a process of having the local Florida DA and the Florida Attorney General put some doubt into Alvin Bragg and say we're not going to do this, or have Iowa say that as well?
00:20:13.000Why don't we have more states say Donald Trump is safe to travel to our state as long as that is the story?
00:20:20.000If all of a sudden you come out with some sort of video of Donald Trump launching Molotov cocktails against police officers, we'll happily extradite him.
00:20:28.000If all of a sudden you come out with some evidence that Donald Trump is laundering money to the Chinese Communist Party, we'll happily extradite him.
00:20:37.000I want to get to a couple pieces of tape here I think that helps broaden this.
00:20:41.000Number one, we cannot discount George Soros' role in all of this.
00:20:48.000We've done a lot of coverage on George Soros, how he made his money, which was by shorting the Bank of England and shorting the pound, being basically a currency manipulator.
00:20:58.000George Soros is one of the most evil political figures to live in the last couple decades.
00:21:03.000He has dedicated nearly $20 billion to this effort.
00:21:08.000He wants it a lot more than most conservative, wealthy people do.
00:21:10.000He's dedicated almost all of his money with religious fervor and zeal.
00:21:47.000Now, interestingly, Soros in Hebrew can be, it has a couple interpretations.
00:21:53.000It means, one of the interpretations means stones.
00:21:56.000And that actually would mean in ancient times to be trouble, because if you had a donkey or you had a mule, they didn't have horses as we would know them, but some sort of donkey or mule, whenever you would come across stones, could break the leg.
00:22:11.000And so therefore, Soros literally means trouble.
00:22:37.000The fact that they keep throwing George Soros' name, we've talked about a lot in our show meetings, is it definitely feels like a dog whistle that is dangerous.
00:22:45.000It absolutely feels like a dog whistle that's dangerous.
00:22:48.000Look, most of these groups, the oath keepers, boogaloo boys, proud boys, they all subscribe to what you are all referring to as the great replacement theory, which is that idea that the majority of the white population is being replaced.
00:23:00.000And this is why we see these spikes in racism, these spikes in anti-Semitism, is because they are ascribing to this belief.
00:23:11.000I mean, I'm actually thinking of doing a short version inspired by Matt Walsh of a docuseries, just short, like 20 or 30 minutes, just called What is Racism?
00:23:21.000And going around to random people and asking them what is racism, how do you define it?
00:23:26.000And I think we're actually lacking in a definition.
00:23:29.000Can you, hey, Ryan, can you get Iber Mex Kendi, Harry Rogers?
00:23:33.000There was a clip that came out in the last day or two where he was asked to define racism and he kept on defining it with the term Henry Rogers.
00:25:01.000That doesn't mean the entire race or the religion is crummy.
00:25:05.000You're able to say that George Soros is doing damage to America while simultaneously saying, like I say, that I have a great heart and reverence for the Jewish people.
00:25:27.000Because we did kind of brush past his anti-Semitic swaying.
00:25:33.000Yeah, like, you know, he did the whole, oh, it's the international Jewish banker's fault.
00:25:39.000Just straight out of just pure anti-Semitic drivel.
00:25:45.000And we now see Ron DeSantis is quoting talking points from Vladimir Putin about territorial disputes, and he's repeating old anti-Semitic tropes attacking international Jewish bankers.
00:26:09.000So this is such a sloppy line of attack by Scarborough.
00:26:15.000Sloppiness is something he's actually been known to be good at.
00:26:21.000This is the old kind of line of attack of Hitler had a dog.
00:26:26.000Like, oh, Hitler had a dog, therefore all people who have dogs must be Hitler.
00:26:30.000That line of thinking is a logical fallacy.
00:26:33.000Just because somebody says something that Vladimir Putin, comma, a bad person, comma, also said, does not mean that you are resonating with Vladimir Putin.
00:26:44.000Does it mean that you are parroting Putin's talking points?
00:29:14.000It can help with mental acuity with memory.
00:29:16.000And Strong Cell also puts CoQ10 and wild-caught marine collagen.
00:29:22.000Again, I take it every day, and the difference I feel is undeniable.
00:29:26.000By taking just one small bottle of Strong Cell liquid every day, you can experience an energy boost within the first week and even more benefits within the first 15 days.
00:29:35.000After 30 days, you'll feel like a new person.
00:31:05.000But the simple question needs to be asked: well, what exactly is racism, pal?
00:31:10.000So there was this forum, and he was asked the question, what is racism?
00:31:16.000Now, circular reasoning is when you define the term with the term.
00:31:21.000This happens all the time on college campuses.
00:31:24.000I asked the question of one attendee last week, UC Davis, and this one woman, she said, well, I think a woman is someone who thinks they're a woman.
00:32:11.000Racism is one person being bigoted or prejudiced to another person based on immutable characteristics that they cannot change.
00:32:18.000The other reason why Ibram X. Kendi can't answer this question is he knows that if he gives an actual definition, that it could be applied to his own bigotry he has towards white people.
00:32:30.000And by the way, the whole racket that this guy has is he extorts white people, mainly upper-middle-class white suburban women that have real identity problems and they read his books, like, wow, I'm really guilty.
00:32:42.000I'll go take my husband's money and give $500 to BLM.
00:32:45.000It makes me feel better, kind of like a religious ceremony, is that Kendi can't expose it.
00:32:51.000Kendi is just not that smart, but he keeps rocketing upward because liberals are too afraid to question him.
00:32:56.000And this is a huge difference between us as conservatives and us as these DEI extortion racketeers.
00:33:04.000At Turning Point USA, at our events, whether it be Candace Owens when she speaks at Turning Point USA and with the stuff we do with Blexit, or whether it be Matt Walsh or Shapiro or Knowles or the Charlie Kirk Show, you can say whatever you want about us, but we invite critical dialogue and question after question after question.
00:33:30.000Because a Turning Point USA chapter leader would be there with an informed question and it would go viral because this guy's a fool.
00:33:37.000The speakers on the conservative side, myself, Walsh, Shapiro, Candace, we are constantly inviting dialogue because we have to defend our positions and we can defend our positions.
00:33:51.000Okay, so here is Ibram X. Kendi being asked, what is racism?
00:35:31.000I mean, if you asked a molecular biologist, hey, what is molecular biology?
00:35:36.000I think they would be able to answer it in a pretty tight way without actually using the term in the definition.
00:35:43.000You wouldn't allow a third grader to do that.
00:35:47.000Google at least says it's prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is minority or marginalized.
00:35:58.000The second part's a little bit nonsensical, but I'll take it.
00:36:07.000It's a very simple question that the people who make millions of dollars in telling you racism is everywhere can't even tell you what it is.
