00:00:48.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

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

00:00:55.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:56.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:04.000 Turning point USA.

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

00:01:14.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:17.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:26.000 Joining us now is the woman who should be governor of Arizona, terrific American Carrie Lake. 1.00

00:01:31.000 Carrie, welcome back to the program.

00:01:33.000 Oh my gosh, it's great to be here.

00:01:35.000 Thank you, Charlie, for having me.

00:01:37.000 So Carrie, some unfortunate news from a judge.

00:01:40.000 Walk us through it.

00:01:41.000 You guys had a really great case, but not the legal outcome we wanted.

00:01:45.000 Walk us through it.

00:01:47.000 No, it's obviously not what we wanted, but it's exactly what I expected.

00:01:51.000 I wasn't surprised.

00:01:52.000 The judge has ruled against us before, and I was more wanting to get the information out, not just to one man, the judge, sitting on the bench.

00:02:04.000 I wanted the information to get out to the good people of Arizona that our elections are being run like a circus, that the laws that our legislators put in place are being disregarded.

00:02:17.000 And that signature verification, that one security feature that makes sure that that mail-in ballot with our most sacred vote in it is actually being followed.

00:02:27.000 And we showed that it's not being followed, that they are very flippant about how they handle this, that they're approving signatures in two seconds is not humanly possible.

00:02:38.000 And frankly, there's not enough seconds in the day to approve the number of mail-in ballots that are coming in to Maricopa County.

00:02:45.000 And we didn't get the ruling we wanted from that one man, from the judge, but we have put out the information and shown the people of Arizona that our elections aren't just subpar.

00:02:54.000 They're a complete debacle.

00:02:56.000 And we have to work to improve them and to fix them.

00:03:00.000 And that's what I plan to do.

00:03:02.000 You know, we think in our first case that we proved without reason, beyond a reasonable doubt, that what was going on in our elections on Election Day when our tabulators weren't working and a quarter of a million ballots were rejected, half of the voters had their, more than half of the voters had their ballots rejected.

00:03:21.000 We proved that Arizonans were disenfranchised.

00:03:24.000 And while we didn't get the result we want, that has not deterred us.

00:03:29.000 And we will continue to fight.

00:03:30.000 And we have several more avenues that we can take in the legal system to continue our fight to get honest elections for all Arizonans, Democrat, Independent, and Republicans alike.

00:03:41.000 Let's play Cut 32.

00:03:43.000 This is Kurt Olson.

00:03:44.000 This is amazing to me.

00:03:46.000 There is no signature verification.

00:03:47.000 It is a fraud.

00:03:48.000 It is a scam.

00:03:49.000 Play cut 32.

00:03:52.000 Maricopa's log file data shows that 11 of these signature verification workers approved 170,000 signatures at a rate of less than between 0 and 2.99 seconds with a 99.97% approval rating.

00:04:12.000 That's not signature review, Your Honor.

00:04:14.000 Simply flashing a signature on the screen, clicking a button and moving on is not signature review.

00:04:21.000 So Kerry, basically what Maricopa County was doing, if I understand it correctly, was basically pushing a button as quickly as possible, not reviewing signatures.

00:04:30.000 Who's in charge of that exactly?

00:04:32.000 Yeah.

00:04:33.000 And can you believe that a judge is okay with that?

00:04:36.000 Wow.

00:04:36.000 Yeah, they're just doing this.

00:04:39.000 Pressing the approve button, approve, approve, approve.

00:04:41.000 No scrolling down to actually compare signatures.

00:04:45.000 It is a complete joke, and this is why we need to reform our elections.

00:04:49.000 And this is Ray Valenzuela.

00:04:51.000 He took the stand.

00:04:51.000 He didn't know the difference between an average and a percentage, and yet he's trying to crunch the numbers and tell us that everything they're doing is fine.

00:04:59.000 And another thing we learned in this trial was that 99 people are behind the scenes doing signature verification with no cameras on them.

00:05:09.000 They're not being watched.

00:05:11.000 You know, they want us to believe that this is a really airtight operation, that cameras are being running at all times to make sure no funny business is happening.

00:05:22.000 And then we find out that 99 additional people can approve signatures behind the scenes, frankly, in their own homes.

00:05:30.000 People like Bill Gates and people like Stephen Richer and Ray Valenzuela.

00:05:36.000 I mean, Stephen Richer and Bill Gates started a super PAC to try to bring me down as a candidate.

00:05:42.000 And they can be home sitting in their underwear, pressing the approve button on signature verification.

00:05:48.000 We have a joke of an election system.

00:05:50.000 And I think we're going to do a lot of things.

00:05:51.000 We do a pretty good job saying that.

00:05:52.000 What does the law say as far as checks and balances for signature verification?

00:05:57.000 Are we allowed to watch them review signatures?

00:06:00.000 Because apparently this was out of the sight of cameras.

00:06:02.000 What does the law say in regards to how this process is supposed to unfold?

00:06:09.000 Well, what the people who run our elections say is that they're fully transparent.

00:06:16.000 That's a joke.

00:06:17.000 I mean, honestly, if you've got people in back rooms that are approving things without cameras on them, no observers, they don't have a Democrat and a Republican watching them.

00:06:26.000 They have no observers, that that's going on means that we have to change our elections.

00:06:31.000 And we need to actually put that into law, that we are actually making sure every single verification is watched and can be tracked, not in your home, not at your dinner table, not in your car, and not in your office behind closed doors.

00:06:47.000 These are the same guys running super PACs against people on the ballot.

00:06:51.000 That should be outlawed as well.

00:06:54.000 We need to have people running our elections who are unbiased and don't show that bias.

00:06:59.000 And this is the same county, Charlie, that's going to determine the next president in our country.

00:07:04.000 And we already have Stephen Richer online spouting off on Twitter, attacking me and attacking President Trump.

00:07:13.000 Well, I know that President Trump's going to be on that ballot.

00:07:16.000 Do you think that Stephen Richer is going to be fair when it comes to counting the voters who are voting for President Trump ballot?

00:07:24.000 I'm not so sure he is.

00:07:25.000 As a matter of fact, I don't think he will be fair.

00:07:28.000 And we've got a real problem.

00:07:29.000 And that's why exposing the problem is the first step.

00:07:32.000 And we're going to have to start doing something about it.

00:07:34.000 So then what is there to do?

00:07:36.000 What do you think the next steps are?

00:07:37.000 Because Katie Hobbs is not going to sign any election integrity anytime soon. 1.00

00:07:43.000 Well, I'm a big believer that she shouldn't have to.

00:07:45.000 Our Constitution, Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1, I think, I'm sure there's going to be somebody out there who corrects me, but I believe it's that one.

00:07:53.000 It calls for our state legislators to decide the manner and the place and the time and how we vote.

00:08:01.000 And so we shouldn't have to go through Katie Hobbes.

00:08:04.000 It should come directly out of our legislature.

00:08:07.000 And that's what Sonny Borrelli was saying with this resolution they passed about these machines.

00:08:14.000 He said that the counties have to get rid of any machines, tabulators that are not up to the DOD Department of Defense standards.

00:08:23.000 And the Department of Defense standards says that we have to have machines with components made here in America, not by our adversaries in China.

00:08:32.000 This was the basis, by the way, of our lawsuit.

00:08:34.000 I filed a lawsuit about a year and a half ago trying to get rid of these machines because they aren't safe.

00:08:39.000 It's a national security risk.

00:08:42.000 And I think that when they try to fight Sonny on this, they're going to find out that he is constitutionally right with what he's saying.

00:08:49.000 And we're going to have to get involved as well and use our voices and speak out against this.

00:08:53.000 I'm really appalled, Charlie, at the number of Republicans out there that want to say, don't talk about 2020.

00:09:00.000 Don't talk about 2022.

00:09:02.000 Just move forward.

00:09:04.000 You know what?

00:09:05.000 All of our policies are forward-looking and are about solving the problems that we're facing now and in the future.

00:09:11.000 But if we can't get fair elections, it doesn't matter how great our policies are.

00:09:15.000 It doesn't matter how incredible our candidates are. 0.99

00:09:18.000 They can put forth terrible, you know, brain-dead, idiotic candidates and win when they have elections that are being run like we're in a third world nation, being run by people like Stephen Richer and Bill Gates. 0.99

00:09:31.000 So if the legislature could do that, why didn't they do that ahead of your race in 2022? 0.99

00:09:37.000 Well, I think they tried to pass a lot of legislation.

00:09:40.000 And even with the Republican governor who didn't seem to have a- No, but you said the governor doesn't matter, right?

00:09:45.000 Why didn't they just fit why?

00:09:46.000 Yeah, they should have.

00:09:47.000 They did because they were following what they always did.

00:09:50.000 You pass a law and you have the governor, you have the governor sign it.

00:09:54.000 This is kind of a new way of a new approach that I think we need to look at.

00:09:59.000 And I think they're starting to realize that we can't count on having people, even with the Republican in office, to do the right thing.

00:10:06.000 The state legislatures have a lot of power when it comes to our elections, and we are going to be doing more as well.

00:10:12.000 If they think that this ruling that I sulked out of bed this morning, I jumped out of bed and said, let's go.

00:10:19.000 We're not stopping.

00:10:20.000 The mothers and fathers in this country have had enough, and we're standing up, and we will take back our government.

00:10:27.000 The government belongs to we, the people.

00:10:29.000 And I'm working right now with my legal team, Charlie.

00:10:32.000 This is not the end of the road for us.

00:10:34.000 There are many ways that we can move forward.

00:10:36.000 I'm not prepared to announce what we're doing next on that.

00:10:39.000 But I last night had a long conversation with my legal team.

00:10:43.000 And there are several roads and avenues that we can take.

00:10:46.000 And we will take each and every one of them.

00:10:48.000 Keeping the pressure on these people, keeping the pressure on exposing what they're doing.

00:10:54.000 And I don't know, frankly, how they get out of bed, walk down the street.

00:10:59.000 They should hang their heads in shame for the way they're running our elections and what they're doing to their fellow citizens.

00:11:07.000 I don't know about you, but it takes a lot to shock me these days.

00:11:10.000 To see our judicial system resemble a third world banana republic, to see trusted American companies embrace insane and destructive woke ideologies is sometimes depressing.

00:11:20.000 We must fight back, and that starts with changing the way we spend our money.

00:11:23.000 For years, big mobile companies have been dumping millions into leftist causes, and we had to take it because another option did not exist.

00:11:29.000 Well, now it does.

00:12:33.000 We're going to be streaming it live on Rumble, and you can find it on our social media.

00:12:37.000 You can watch it right there on your phone.

00:12:38.000 And I think it's going to be an impactful announcement that we're making this afternoon.

00:12:44.000 So I'm hoping you'll tune in.

00:12:47.000 What else do you have to do?

00:12:48.000 Tune in.

00:12:48.000 I will be tuning in.

00:12:50.000 And so, Carrie, you've been back to the.

00:12:53.000 Go ahead.

00:12:53.000 I want to say something.

00:12:54.000 I have the judgment from the judge, the Honorable Peter A. Thompson.

00:13:00.000 And I just think I want to say that I'm disappointed in this ruling.

00:13:05.000 And I think that the judge chose the easy thing to do, not the right thing to do, but I understand that some men are fearful.

00:13:12.000 We are opening up a Pandora's box here when we start to dig in and see how our elections are run.

00:13:18.000 And I'm not afraid to do the scary things, the tough things.

00:13:21.000 And we need to all of us stand up and realize that we are on the precipice of losing our country if we don't start doing the tough thing.

00:13:29.000 And sometimes that means ruffling feathers.

00:13:32.000 Sometimes that means losing money, walking away from money, walking away from a job, a paycheck.

00:13:38.000 We're starting to see more and more people do the right thing, which is the hard thing.

00:13:42.000 But we are, as human beings, built to do the hard thing.

00:13:46.000 We're losing so much of the generation that came before us that saved the world, really.

00:13:54.000 And we are the generation that's going to save the world.

00:13:57.000 And I have 100% faith.

00:13:58.000 I jumped out of bed and said, let's go.

00:14:00.000 Let's go.

00:14:01.000 There was a word in between it, but I'm not going to say that on your show.

00:14:05.000 And I'm ready and raring to go.

00:14:08.000 This is a little bump in the road.

00:14:10.000 And we expected this bump.

00:14:12.000 And we are moving forward.

00:14:14.000 We've got lots to do to save our country.

00:14:16.000 So, Carrie, you have a book coming out, Unafraid.

00:14:18.000 Tell us about it.

00:14:20.000 Oh, thank you for asking.

00:14:21.000 It's coming out.

00:14:22.000 It'll be released on June 27th.

00:14:23.000 I appreciate you asking, Charlie.

00:14:25.000 You can find it right now on Amazon.

00:14:28.000 You can find it at winningpublishing.com.

00:14:31.000 You can go there to buy it or just on Amazon and pre-order it.

00:14:34.000 So it'll be at your door on June 27th.

00:14:37.000 And it really is a look back a little bit at my early life, a little bit on this amazing journey that God set me on when he gave me the courage to step away from my job in the media when I realized that the media is pushing propaganda, not truth.

00:14:52.000 And little did I know that God had this amazing plan in store for me and for us.

00:14:58.000 And so it's a, we take you along on the journey, and then we talk about what's next.

00:15:03.000 And I think there's some really great things next for our country.

00:15:07.000 I have absolute faith that we're pulling through all of this and we're going to come out on the other side much better and much stronger.

00:15:14.000 And actually, we're going to come together as people.

00:15:17.000 So I hope you'll buy it.

00:15:18.000 Father's Day is coming along.

00:15:20.000 I know it's a little bit late for Father's Day, but give your dad a note and say, hey, I got Carrie's book for you.

00:15:26.000 I think the men out there will appreciate this read as well.

00:15:29.000 So Carrie, you're coming and speaking at our Young Women's Leadership Summit in Dallas, Texas. 0.92

00:15:35.000 Tell us about kind of what you're going to be speaking about, biological women only. 0.66

00:15:39.000 Tell us about it.

00:15:41.000 Yes, I am woman.

00:15:43.000 Hear me roar.

00:15:44.000 I can't wait, actually.

00:15:45.000 I have to tell you, Charlie, one of my favorite speaking events I ever did was at your Young Women in Leadership Summit two years ago.

00:15:53.000 I'm so inspired by the young people that you bring in that come into these summits and these events.

00:16:00.000 They actually inspire me because I'm a middle-aged woman.

00:16:04.000 I'm not afraid to say what's on my mind and do what's right.

00:16:07.000 But when you see young people who have the courage to stand up in these difficult times with the peer pressure and the council culture, that is inspiring.

00:16:15.000 I don't know exactly what my speech is.

00:16:17.000 I'm working on it right now.

00:16:19.000 But I think I'm going to tap into that strength that these young people have because it's really impressive.

00:16:24.000 It impresses me.

00:16:26.000 You know, I said we're losing the greatest generation.

00:16:28.000 I think that we have another great generation coming up that's going to do amazing things.

00:16:32.000 And I know that because many of them were on my campaign.

00:16:36.000 It was filled with young people and students and teenagers and kids in their 20s who are looking at the horizon and what's happening and they don't like what they're seeing.

00:16:48.000 And they realize that it's in their control to actually chart the course for their future.

00:16:53.000 And they just are the most incredible group of young people.

00:16:57.000 I'm looking forward to it.

00:16:57.000 And I thank you for the opportunity to speak to them.

00:16:59.000 Kerry Lake will be watching your announcement.

00:17:01.000 God bless you.

00:17:02.000 We're behind you 100%.

00:17:03.000 Thanks so much.

00:17:04.000 Thank you, Charlie.

00:17:05.000 We appreciate you.

00:17:05.000 Thank you.

00:18:57.000 Joining us now is the great Michael Siefert.

00:19:00.000 He is the mastermind behind Public Square.

00:19:02.000 We're talking about Public Square.

00:19:03.000 It is the parallel economy, the chance for us to shop our values.

00:19:08.000 Michael, welcome back to the program.

00:19:10.000 Good to see you, Charlie.

00:19:11.000 Thanks for having me.

00:19:12.000 People can check it out at publicsq.com.

00:19:14.000 So, Michael, there's so many stories I want to talk about here.

00:19:16.000 The number one is Target.

00:19:18.000 I mean, Target is a big company.

00:19:21.000 I don't think our audience realizes Target should have a huge sign as you welcome Target.

00:19:26.000 If you believe in family values, comma, we hate you.

00:19:30.000 Target hates families. 0.99

00:19:32.000 They hate you. 0.73

00:19:33.000 Everybody in this audience, stop shopping at these places.

00:19:35.000 And if you do not believe me, let's just watch this one here.

00:19:39.000 Go to Cut61, please.

00:19:41.000 We're at Target right now, and there's a lot of controversy going on about all of the pride stuff that's coming out with kids' clothes and things like that.

00:19:47.000 So, we're going to go to the kids' section, and we're actually going to see if they're putting weird, creepy, uncomfy stuff on children's clothing.

00:19:54.000 I'm next to a literal onesie that says whatever the hell that means. 1.00

00:19:59.000 We have glad you came out, and I'm so happy that you're queer in the kids' section. 1.00

00:20:05.000 I'm sorry, but pride and toddler don't belong in the same sentence. 1.00

00:20:09.000 So, I found an extra small swimsuit in the child section.

00:20:12.000 It says light binding effect on it.

00:20:15.000 And then, the bottoms in the kids' section, keep in mind, say tuck-friendly construction.

00:20:24.000 Target hates you.

00:20:25.000 Stop shopping there, make them suffer, bankrupt them the same way.

00:20:30.000 I mean, look, this is right here: Target holds an emergency meeting to avoid Bud Light situation.

00:20:34.000 By the way, this is way worse than Bud Light.

00:20:36.000 Bud Light was one influencer of one can.

00:20:39.000 Target hates you.

00:20:40.000 Michael, your reaction.

00:20:42.000 Not only is this worse than Bud Light because Bud Light was one can, this is their entire marketing pitch with Target.

00:20:49.000 But take it even further: Bud Light is an adult beverage.

00:20:52.000 This is a kids' section of Target. 0.79

00:20:55.000 So, the fact that they're actually taking it even further than just adult messaging about this trans nonsense and they're actually trying to target your kids, Target is acting as a groomer in this situation. 0.58

00:21:04.000 They want your kids to stumble upon these products here.

00:21:07.000 They're not being shy about that.

00:21:08.000 And even the emergency meeting that you just correctly pointed out, Charlie, they're specifically targeting the Southern stores because they're afraid that the Southern stores are going to produce a Bud Light situation.

00:21:19.000 So, all they're now doing is not actually even repenting of the fact that they're trying to groom your children.

00:21:24.000 They're simply trying to pander to minimize the boycotting effect of the conservatives that should be really angered by this and avoiding Target like the plague.

00:21:33.000 So, Target does not have a genuine bone in their body.

00:21:36.000 They are now getting scared that we are going to properly associate their brand with really perverse actions toward the next generation.

00:21:47.000 And so, we need to step up as consumers and recognize that our dollars clearly have power.

00:21:52.000 Let's make Target hurt, not just in the southeastern United States, let's make them suffer across this entire brand.

00:21:58.000 Yes, Target does not care about your kids.

00:22:01.000 They don't care about family values.

00:22:02.000 They are grooming children. 0.97

00:22:04.000 I mean, Michael, what the heck?

00:22:06.000 And I'm going to be nice: is this tuck-friendly?

00:22:08.000 Who are these people?

00:22:09.000 Should be investigated.

00:22:11.000 I mean, this is children's stuff.

00:22:13.000 What is this all about?

00:22:14.000 Well, and Charlie, not only is it appalling and egregious and immoral in every conceivable way, it should be illegal.

00:22:21.000 I mean, if we were to have an adult talking to a child in any other setting about what tuck-friendly even means, they'd be arrested.

00:22:28.000 We'd have every single parents group in the United States hopefully speaking up saying that is despicable.

00:22:33.000 But now we're using that in marketing campaigns for one of the largest retailers in the world.

00:22:37.000 It's egregious.

00:22:38.000 This also comes at the back of the Adidas debacle that just took place last week, where they have a full-grown man dressed as a woman in a woman's bathing suit on the front page of Adidas's site.

00:22:49.000 If that full-grown man were to show up at the neighborhood pool wearing that swimsuit, we should have parents up in arms.

00:22:56.000 But now we're okay with it taking place in one of the largest apparel brands in the world in their marketing campaigns.

00:23:02.000 Like the fact that we went from zero to 100 seemingly overnight should appall everyone.

00:23:08.000 And again, the only justified response should be A, calling for investigations into these companies like you just correctly described.

00:23:16.000 But then B, let's absolutely stop giving them our money.

00:23:20.000 This should be a no-brainer at this point.

00:23:21.000 Well, but Republican attorney generals, do you have a heartbeat out there?

00:23:24.000 How about a criminal investigation into Brian Cornwell?

00:23:28.000 Just do it.

00:23:28.000 They would do it to us for being a pervert groomer and putting products for his children.

00:23:33.000 Again, it's one thing people say, oh, this is like Bud Light.

00:23:36.000 Bud Light was like a one-off ambassador thing.

00:23:40.000 This is a, the CEO has come out and is defending it, Brian Cornell. 0.95

00:23:43.000 Cornell, Brian Cornell, who is a groomer and a very sick person, very twisted, loves money, and he really has like a fetish for going after children. 0.91

00:23:52.000 And he says, this is great. 0.69

00:23:54.000 He says, look, most Americans shop at Target, so we want to do the right thing to support families across the country.

00:23:59.000 They think they're untouchable.

00:24:00.000 Target is a $100 billion company with 1,948 stores.

00:24:05.000 By the way, this is not the first thing that Target did.

00:24:07.000 Remember, Target did the thing with the bathrooms. 0.99

00:24:09.000 Target has done this for a while.

00:24:11.000 Dick Sporting Goods hates you guys too when they pull the ammunition out of their stores.

00:24:14.000 These companies run by the C-suite.

00:24:16.000 And this Brian Cornell guy, Brian Cornell, who is the CEO, went to UCLA.

00:24:23.000 He's 64 years old and he's defending it.

00:24:25.000 He says, this is wonderful.

00:24:27.000 He says, this is great.

00:24:28.000 It's a good thing that we have LGBT tuck-friendly swimwear for minors. 1.00

00:24:36.000 And so, Michael, but you guys are going about solving it. 1.00

00:24:38.000 So here's the problem.

00:24:39.000 Target is the problem.

00:24:40.000 Everybody, bankrupt them, make them suffer, make their stock go down.

00:24:45.000 By the way, there's blood in the water.

00:24:47.000 They're freaking up, Michael.

00:24:48.000 They're having emergency meetings.

00:24:49.000 Good.

00:24:50.000 I hope they close stores. 0.97

00:24:52.000 I hope they fire people.

00:24:53.000 I hope Brian Cornell loses his golden parachute. 0.87

00:24:56.000 I want to see these people go through misery because of their grooming against our children.

00:25:00.000 But you guys are offering an alternative.

00:25:02.000 What is that alternative?

00:25:04.000 Yeah, we are.

00:25:05.000 We're proud to offer an alternative because, like the listeners of this show, we've been so frustrated, driven to the need for a solution.

00:25:13.000 So we created one.

00:25:13.000 We created publicsq.com.

00:25:15.000 We're the nation's largest marketplace of businesses that do not hate you, of businesses that will refuse to groom your children because they respect family values.

00:25:24.000 These are businesses that are pro-life, pro-family, and pro-freedom.

00:25:27.000 They believe in the rights of the individual.

00:25:29.000 They have taken a stance for those rights.

00:25:31.000 And we have over 52,000 vendors on the platform today of all different industries and backgrounds.

00:25:36.000 In fact, we encourage you to check out the app.

00:25:38.000 We often offer collections, shopping guides, buy-ditch campaigns where we showcase to you woke brands and then we actually show you the alternative so that you can receive incentive to spend money in alignment with your values.

00:25:49.000 Majority of the brands on the platform will give you discounts to shop there as well.

00:25:52.000 So you know that you're putting purpose behind your purchase with companies that refuse to stand opposed to your family's values.

00:26:00.000 And in the process, Charlie, this parallel economy has become this blossoming movement full of consumers that are fed up with what's happening.

00:26:08.000 By the way, mind you, most of the consumers on our platform are actually moms.

00:26:12.000 They are moms.

00:26:13.000 Over 70% of the consumers on our platform are moms that have been driven to action, not because of politics, but because of principles.

00:26:20.000 There's a deeper battle between good and evil that's happening right now.

00:26:23.000 And when the mom audience can mobilize to spend their dollars away from Target and instead with companies that will respect their family's worldview, we're going to see this economy change.

00:26:34.000 I hope Target does suffer, not just in the southern stores.

00:26:37.000 I hope that they've got to call emergency meetings across the entire country.

00:26:41.000 And it's because consumers not only boycotted a brand they no longer believe in, but they are actually moving their spending to brands that they can feel confident in because it has to involve both of those.

00:26:53.000 You can't just leave a brand behind.

00:26:54.000 You've got to subscribe to a new set of alternatives and help those entrepreneurs prosper.

00:26:59.000 And we're glad to showcase a market of those.

00:27:01.000 Yeah, I mean, again, these are these are weird groomer perverts that have taken over the PR communication departments of major corporations.

00:27:09.000 These are CEOs like this Brian Cornell guy, who I think has a fetish towards young kids.

00:27:14.000 It's very weird.

00:27:15.000 He says, this is very family friendly, very strange.

00:27:17.000 He should be criminally investigated.

00:27:19.000 And they think they're untouchable.

00:27:21.000 And guess what? 0.70

00:27:22.000 Red America has huge purchasing power.

00:27:25.000 Red America, stop buying products at Target.

00:27:28.000 You say, oh, Charlie, what do you go right now to publicsq.com, download the application, and support businesses that don't believe in the grooming of children, that do not believe in outright and total perversion.

00:27:40.000 But it's not just them, by the way.

00:27:43.000 In the audience, how many of you guys own Ford?

00:27:45.000 I'm sure a lot of you built Ford Tough.

00:27:47.000 Remember that?

00:27:47.000 Well, now it's Built Ford gay, not Built Ford Tough.

00:27:51.000 It's now Built Ford Rainbow.

00:27:52.000 I'm not an exaggeration. 1.00

00:27:54.000 Ford is all in on the gay agenda. 0.99

00:27:56.000 Play cut 60. 1.00

00:28:10.000 Michael, they are begging you at public square to compete against them.

00:28:15.000 They are begging you to try and create products and services in a marketplace. 0.99

00:28:20.000 Red America is the third largest GDP in the world. 1.00

00:28:24.000 It is the third largest GDP in the world.

00:28:26.000 If you look at election data from 2020 and you look at counties that voted conservative, and then you look at the GDP breakdown, you'll see that Red America alone is enough capital to power the third largest economy in the world, only behind the United States and China, bigger than Japan.

00:28:43.000 Here's my point: if that group will mobilize and put our dollars to action toward companies that do not hate us, that will embrace the principles that are found in our constitution that have made this country so special, we can win. 0.71

00:28:55.000 But we'll only win if the power structures of society shift back toward we, the people, and the values that we hold through commerce.

00:29:01.000 So, my encouragement to everyone is mobilize your dollars toward your values.

00:29:04.000 Recognize that what you spend your money on is what you'll continue to empower.

00:29:08.000 And we need to empower brands that refuse to groom our kids, that will honor the rights and the values of our families.

00:29:14.000 And we're trying to do that at publicsq.com.

00:29:16.000 Look, I mean, this is interesting.

00:29:17.000 As the economy gets to be a little bit shakier, these boycotts have a lot more punch.

00:29:22.000 A 10% decrease now in profits when it was the era of cheap money and soaring profits.

00:29:30.000 These companies were able to be woke with no check and balance.

00:29:32.000 But now, with the economy on jitters and rising interest rates, 5% decrease.

00:29:38.000 I mean, you're looking at companies that otherwise felt like they're untouchable.

00:29:42.000 Make them feel your wrath.

00:29:44.000 Do not put a dollar there.

00:29:46.000 And I hope Target has to start closing stores.

00:29:49.000 And I'm sorry for the employees that are going to suffer for this, but maybe you should go work for a company that actually shares your values.

00:29:54.000 But this CEO, Brian Cornell, I hope he loses his golden parachute.

00:30:01.000 Michael, we're going to just have to keep on having you come back because this is one of the most important things happening in the country: how people spend their dollars.

00:30:08.000 You know, I was with somebody recently and they're very wealthy.

00:30:11.000 Charlie, I'm tired of all the woke stuff.

00:30:12.000 I said, What's your credit card?

00:30:13.000 American Express. 0.63

00:30:14.000 I said, They hate you.

00:30:15.000 I said, Where do you shop?

00:30:17.000 He said, Oh, I shop, you know, with Amazon.

00:30:19.000 I said, They hate you.

00:30:20.000 I said, Well, and he's like, Well, there's no options, there's no alternative.

00:30:23.000 I said, You're wrong.

00:30:24.000 That's where you're wrong.

00:30:25.000 You know, seek and you will find.

00:30:27.000 Let's go here.

00:30:28.000 Let's go to Cut 62, the new spokesperson.

00:30:32.000 Remember, it used to be just do it with Michael Jordan, Steve Prefontaine.

00:30:37.000 Now it is Dylan Mulvaney, the creep, play cut 62. 0.98

00:30:46.000 It's disgusting. 0.99

00:30:47.000 It's a freak who is dancing around, prancing with Nike. 0.98

00:30:53.000 So, I guess the question is: I mean, it's Adidas, it's Nike.

00:30:55.000 Michael, is part of the strategy as if that if all the companies in the corporate oligarchy go woke, then it won't really matter?

00:31:01.000 Are they just trying?

00:31:02.000 I it the incentive structure here is perplexing, but we are seeing finally some cracks.

00:31:10.000 We can make them suffer, especially in a fragile economy.

00:31:15.000 Your thoughts?

00:31:17.000 Well, I think you're exactly right.

00:31:19.000 They took a bad bet on wokeism to try to sort of placate to 15% of the country that would get all up in arms if they didn't show their support for the trans community. 0.92

00:31:28.000 So, they just cater to the ones in the society that have utilized the bullhorns the most, which are these angry, blue-haired they themselves. 0.63

00:31:35.000 What they're learning now, though, is that while we may have at one time been apathetic about the move toward woke capital, no longer we're not anymore.

00:31:45.000 We are standing up and we're tired of it.

00:31:46.000 So, when Nike comes out and they make a total mockery of women slapping their audience base in the face, when Adidas puts a man in a woman's swimsuit and does the same, slapping their audience in the face, when Target puts entire sections of their stores dedicated to groomers, which slaps the mom audience, which is their target customer, in the face.

00:32:06.000 It is the duty of conservative consumers, especially people that believe in the truth, to stand up and mobilize their dollars elsewhere.

00:32:13.000 And thankfully, we're seeing it now work.

00:32:14.000 Not only in the consumer world, Charlie, like we've been talking about in this segment, where we're seeing Target call emergency meetings because they need to change course so they don't end up in a Bud Light situation.

00:32:23.000 We're seeing it in the recent Miller-Light campaign where they actually removed their advertisement because it was this hyper-feminist sort of getting angry at any of their consumers before 2005.

00:32:32.000 We're also seeing even in the financial institutions world, major corporate entities like Vanguard say, We're out, we're done with ESG, we're backing out.

00:32:41.000 Sorry, we took a bad bet on wokeism and it's failing.

00:32:44.000 We're not actually providing returns with these ideologies.

00:32:46.000 So, I'm excited because I feel like we're entering a new era where these companies that took a bad bet are now going to feel the pain.

00:32:54.000 We have an email here: Charlie, I'm done with Target.

00:32:57.000 I can't believe it.

00:32:57.000 I never thought that they would groom like this.

00:33:00.000 I used to spend a couple hundreds a month, $100 a month.

00:33:02.000 I am done. 1.00

00:33:03.000 I mean, look, Michael, the combined force of Red America, if they're saying to half the country that we don't care about you, and by the way, I just, if you want to go get creepy, weird, pervert stuff for kids, I just only want to say you have a right to do that. 1.00

00:33:20.000 It should be illegal. 1.00

00:33:21.000 But now we have to seek out targets, haha, target after target.

00:33:25.000 But the thing about Target that's interesting, more so, I mean, Jack Daniels hates you, Ford, you know, CBS, Nike, Adidas. 0.76

00:33:32.000 But Target, especially, if I were to just say, okay, Target's makeup is largely driven by moms. 0.99

00:33:39.000 Is that fair? 0.64

00:33:40.000 I think Target, the volume of the purchasing power, the mass volume of purchasing power is moms. 0.98

00:33:48.000 And it's time for the mama bears across the country. 0.62

00:33:50.000 People say, Charlie, what can I do?

00:33:51.000 School board?

00:33:52.000 How about this?

00:33:52.000 Stop supporting the companies that hate your kids.

00:33:58.000 Not only are mama bears the majority of Target's audience, they're also the majority of consumers around the country.

00:34:02.000 Over 70% of daily purchases in the household are made by mama bears.

00:34:06.000 And so, what I encourage every single mama bear I come into encounter with is recognize the purchasing power that you really do wield.

00:34:14.000 You have the ability to move these companies' decisions away from perversion and toward righteousness and morality again.

00:34:22.000 If you have family values, if you believe in a better future for your kids, one of the greatest fears of parents, Charlie, is that they'll never be able to pass on their values to the next generation.

00:34:31.000 A great way we can preserve our values for the next generation is by making sure that they're not getting indoctrinated by the companies that we're shopping from.
