00:00:07.000Well, if you don't know very much, what if I told you that your kids and grandkids are being propagandized content on TikTok without them probably even realizing it?
00:00:14.000There is a White House strategy to try and manipulate and convert young people to be Biden lovers without a lot of people even realizing it.

00:01:43.000How do you make a lie seem like the truth?
00:01:47.000What is necessary for a totalitarian regime to exist?
00:01:52.000Well, when you study totalitarianism, it's very clear that it's not just tanks in the streets or mass surveillance, but instead it's the totalitarian control of the mind.
00:02:05.000There were five authors in the late 1940s and 1950s that were pioneers on the topic of totalitarianism.
00:02:12.000C.S. Lewis, of course, with the screw tape letters, and lesser known for this category, but better known in general, Mere Christianity, which actually started as radio broadcasts during the Blitz of London.
00:02:27.000Aldous Huxley, who wrote Brave New World, probably one of the most important books that anyone can read to understand the sexual anarchy that we are living through today.
00:02:35.000And why do totalitarians and dictators need to decay sexual norms to be able to have monopolistic control over a civilization?
00:02:51.000We talk often here about 1984, about how one of my favorite lines of 1984 is when Orwell says the best way to keep a secret from the government is you must first keep the secret from yourself.
00:03:04.000The fourth is a lesser-known author that we really should talk more about, Arthur Kessler, who wrote a book called Darkness at Noon, all about the Soviet show trials and how people who are completely innocent were killed in a public display.
00:03:18.000And the fifth author, of course, was Winston Churchill, author of over 50 books and talked a lot about totalitarianism.
00:03:24.000Churchill in particular was very worried about how technology, unrestrained from human virtue, could not just result in tyranny, but would automatically result in tyranny.
00:03:35.000Churchill argued that technology was more than a tool.
00:03:38.000He witnessed this in the Darvish region where he saw very courageous people going into the battlefield and just being mowed down by machine guns.
00:03:47.000And he realized that war has changed and technology can bring up the worst in people.
00:03:53.000So, those five authors all agreed that in order to have a despotic government, in order to control the individual, it's not just about controlling the movements or what they can purchase, but it really is a control of the thoughts.
00:04:08.000It really is about the control of how do people view themselves, what is right, what is wrong, what's happening in the world.
00:04:16.000You cannot have a totalitarian government without some sort of strategy, hopefully successful for the totalitarian, hopefully unsuccessful for the freedom lover, implemented to control the thoughts of a nation.
00:04:32.000The best example of this, of course, would be under the Soviet Union.
00:04:35.000The Soviet Union, of course, had pravda, which literally means organ.
00:04:39.000It means the kind of distribution network.
00:04:42.000Pravda is also a word for truth in Russian, which, of course, is great irony.
00:05:33.000It's still run by a small part of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, not taken very seriously.
00:05:40.000You can actually visit the website pravda.ru.
00:05:44.000It's privately owned, and the international editors, it's published across the world.
00:05:47.000It's a joke, and no one really takes it seriously.
00:05:49.000They have Russian television now, and they still have some of the kind of infrastructure that used to exist.
00:05:54.000But the Soviet Union was powerful domestically for many reasons, but one of them was their ability to be able to communicate and propagandize their domestic population to say, do not believe your lying eyes.
00:06:11.000Now, in order for this regime, the Biden regime, to have complete control of the citizenry, they need to engage in the same type of warfare.
00:06:23.000They need to get into the Pravda business.
00:06:27.000Now, of course, they control CNN and they control Hollywood and they control the biggest media outlets in the country.
00:06:33.000But I'm going to tell you about a story that we've known about, we've talked about a little bit, but we're going to dive deeper into it here, about how the Biden regime is modernizing the Pravda-esque outreach, the organ, the quote-unquote truth for a technological era.
00:06:52.000Now, many of you listening right now on radio or watching on rumble.com or listening to us on a podcast, you probably aren't active users on the new place where America's future gets their values, gets their political identity, and finds out who they are.
00:08:28.000So what if I told you that the White House, the Biden regime, has a full-time team that does nothing but brings in these TikTok influencers, trains them on what to say, and then they parrot it back basically through the organ, if you will, of state regime media.
00:08:49.000White House advocacy TikTok campaign was actually a Democrat front the entire time.
00:08:54.000Gen Z for Change, a 501c4 nonprofit, enlisted communications consultant and two-time Democrat presidential campaign staffer Madeline Twame and its senior advisor and founding board member according to the organization's website.
00:09:07.000A coalition of left-wing TikTok users claiming to be an advocacy nonprofit is advised by a longtime Democrat communications operative according to records reviewed online by the Daily Caller.
00:09:17.000Tuami has two-year connection to the Biden staffer and basically what happens is Gen Z for Change, they will bring in social media influencers to the White House.
00:09:28.000The Biden regime will teach them what to say and they'll parrot it word for word.
00:09:36.000Gen Z for Change leadership claims the TikTok platform was quote to keep power away from traditional gatekeepers.
00:09:44.000Instead, they are becoming state-run media for the Biden administration.
00:09:51.000No different, by the way, than the publication of Pravda during the Soviet Union.
00:09:57.000If you're serious about controlling a nation, you must control the minds.
00:10:01.000And the Biden regime knows that in order to control the minds, you must control what's being said on TikTok.
00:10:08.000If you have a kid or grandkid on TikTok, they are being personally propagandized by Ron Clain, by Jen Saki, by Joe Biden.
00:11:13.000So this AstroTurf communication strategy from the White House has been bubbling up for the last couple of months.
00:11:19.000We knew that the White House was employing these TikTok influencers.
00:11:24.000But now some, I guess you could call them whistleblowers are coming out and saying, we were just told to parrot direct talking points from the White House.
00:11:33.000And this Gen Z for Change is an organization, coalition of 500 content creators who leverage the power of the internet to educate and mobilize our generation to create change.
00:11:43.000Originally founded as TikTok for Biden as a network to defeat Donald Trump, ultimately capturing 324 million views.
00:12:00.000But what they are doing now is they're offering, they're basically becoming a public-private partnership within the Biden regime where Biden is stuffing his unpopular ideas to now get into the phones directly of your grandchildren or your children, or maybe you yourself if you're listening.
00:12:19.000It says right here that they generated 48,000 petition signatures against Florida's don't say gay bill alongside a coalition of incredible grassroots activists and organizers.
00:12:31.000You wonder why some young people are so uninformed and misinformed?
00:12:34.000It's because the regime realizes the fight is beyond just newspapers and what's happening on TV.
00:12:42.000It's happening right on the phones, and they're good at it.
00:12:47.000Well, let's play cut 122 of one of these quote-unquote TikTok influencers outwardly and nakedly peddling propaganda, provda, of the state, play cut 122.
00:13:01.000I had the opportunity to ask the White House why gas down the street is $7, and here's what they said.
00:13:07.000The obvious reason we are getting out of a two-year pandemic, when use goes up, price goes up.
00:13:12.000Now, with Putin starting this horrific fight between Ukraine and Russia, nobody wants to work with him and do an international trade.
00:13:19.000So, with people being scared of war and limited resources, prices are bound to go up as well.
00:13:25.000So, this is a young lady by the name of Ellie Zeiler, 1.7 million followers on Instagram, and it looks like 10.6 million followers on TikTok, with over 356 million likes on TikTok, rather considerable.
00:13:40.000Just parroting very basic kind of Democrat propaganda talking points.
00:13:52.000And in some ways, you should feel sorry for her, but she's a typical celebrity that just here, say this.
00:13:55.000Okay, here's this video, and I'm going to do this thing.
00:13:58.000But it goes straight, that right there is seen by more young people than anything else.
00:14:03.000Now, again, thankfully, at Turning Point USA, our ambassador program, we're countering a lot of it educationally, pushback against left-wing ideas, statist ideas, and all of this.
00:14:15.000So it's not like they're doing this in a monopolistic way.
00:14:18.000Ambassador program is something we've been pioneers with at Turning Point USA.
00:14:24.000But never before have we seen the government of the United States attach itself to this sort of digital outreach mechanism.
00:14:33.000Fox News report on this, play cut 123.
00:14:36.000Well, now one TikTok star says he cannot argue with critics who say the White House is using them as pawns.
00:14:44.000The Daily Caller reporting the White House's advocacy TikTok campaign was actually a Democrat front the entire time.
00:14:50.000It says it reviewed records which show a longtime Democrat advisor coaching the influencers.
00:14:56.000That falls in line with what TikTok star Khalil Green told Newsweek: I felt like a lot of the recaps from influencers were not critical.
00:15:06.000They seem to repeat exactly what the White House was saying.
00:15:37.000It was as though you watch a regular press briefing on TV with Jen Saki.
00:15:42.000It was very similar to that just on Zoom with about 29 other creators and me.
00:15:47.000And they, for the first 15 minutes or so, they briefed us on what the United States is doing to help European allies.
00:15:54.000And then the remaining 30 minutes, we were able to ask questions like journalists about concepts that our viewers or questions that our viewers wanted answers to.
00:16:04.000Now, to President Trump's credit, they tried to do this and they were so assailed by the media, they kind of backed away from it.
00:16:11.000It's important to know that the terrain where this war is being fought is beyond just CNN in the news briefing room.
00:16:17.000Biden and his regime are investing heavily into corrupting your children and grandchildren in the places they consume content where they otherwise would not be even thinking about politics.
00:16:29.000Let's talk about cancel culture on social media websites like me and what you can do about it.
00:16:34.000The left wants to silent and boycott any voices they don't agree with.
00:16:59.000Ever wondered how free to access sites like Facebook make all their money?
00:17:03.000Well, by tracking your searchers, video history, and everything you click on, then selling your valuable data.
00:17:07.000When you use ExpressVPN, you anonymize much of your online presence by hiding your IP address.
00:17:12.000That makes your activity more difficult to trace and sell to advertisers.
00:17:15.000And ExpressVPN couldn't be easier to set up.
00:17:18.000You just tap one button on your phone or computer and you're protected.
00:17:21.000So it's finally time to say no to the censorship and take back your online privacy at expressvpn.com slash Charlie.

00:17:42.000There's a very important Senate race that is heating up in the state of Ohio.
00:17:46.000We're less than one month away from the primary, and it really will be a test for the future of the Republican Party.
00:17:54.000Is the future going to be kind of in the corporate Republican direction?
00:17:58.000Will it kind of be in the same sort of talking point direction?
00:18:02.000Or is there space for a new type of Republican, one that will continue the progress made by President Trump of securing stronger trade deals and restricting immigration, but also being very strong on family issues, pro-life issues, and really taking a stand against the alphabet mafia and what they want to do for our country.
00:18:20.000With us right now is JD Vance, who's running for Senate in Ohio.
00:18:23.000I have endorsed JD, so that's my full disclaimer, and I'm proud of it.
00:18:30.000So, JD, let's start with this grooming topic.
00:18:32.000You've been unafraid to talk about it.
00:18:34.000It seems like a lot of Republicans are running to the hills.
00:18:38.000What do you have to say about this issue of the government coming in and saying that we shouldn't teach children sexual education and the backlash from the left?
00:18:52.000I mean, these people get very sensitive over the accusation that they're groomers.
00:18:57.000And at the same time, they react like complete lunatics when you pass a pretty common sense piece of legislation that says you shouldn't sexualize children.
00:19:07.000And we're not even talking about all children, right?
00:19:09.000That's a very narrow bill from K to three.
00:19:11.000I mean, I think you shouldn't be talking to kids about sexuality and gender theory at all, but this is like super young kids from K to three.
00:19:19.000And I always say to these people, like, look, if you don't want to be called a groomer, don't take this very common sense, moderate, frankly, Florida bill and act like it's the end of the world.
00:19:30.000You know, some of the stuff that's happening out there is just like five years ago, Charlie, I would have said this is a crazy conspiracy theory.
00:19:36.000There's no way this is happening in our country.
00:19:38.000I saw today that in New Jersey, they're in their state curriculum actually going to start teaching second graders about gender identity and sexuality.
00:19:49.000We want parents to make these decisions.
00:19:51.000We certainly don't want schools to be making them.
00:19:53.000And look, I don't think that it's appropriate for any seven-year-old child to be talked to by a stranger about their sexuality and gender identity, especially when we know so many of the people that are involved in the teachers' unions involved in developing the curriculum have just completely gone off the rocker.
00:20:10.000I mean, I can't imagine this is popular in Ohio, right?
00:20:14.000So it's traditionally a battleground state.
00:20:16.000Democrats used to do well, but it seems like it's becoming more conservative, more red around these types of issues, right?
00:20:22.000I mean, I can't imagine in like Athens, Ohio, there's like a clamoring class of people, except maybe at the university, that really want like, you know, first graders to be taught about chemical castration.
00:20:39.000And, you know, this in some ways, certainly when I talk to people in Ohio, you know, we just did four events actually yesterday as part of our campaign.
00:20:47.000You know, we're pretty fired up about this stuff.
00:20:49.000When I say this stuff, I mean culture war topics in general, right?
00:20:52.000Our voters want us to fight to protect the unborn.
00:20:55.000They want us to fight to protect the innocence of children.
00:20:57.000They actually want us to do something about the indoctrination of their kids in schools.
00:21:01.000Like they don't want the cut tail and run type of Republican.
00:21:05.000They actually want people who will actually wage these battles.
00:21:17.000But one of the things I've talked about on my campaign, Charlie, is sometimes these things are connected.
00:21:22.000You can't separate the massive movement towards giving kids hormonal blockers, prepubescent children hormonal blockers, if you can't recognize that some of the people who are profiting the most from this are massive pharmaceutical companies that are lobbying for preferential policies that destroy our kids, but of course enhance their bottom line.
00:21:42.000So, man, the culture war is being waged.
00:21:46.000I don't think conservatives started this fight, but certainly we're going to join the fight and we're going to fight back in order to protect our kids.
00:22:03.000You can if you want, but there's just some candidates that are just kind of going through the motions of just kind of what Republicans used to always say, like lower taxes.
00:22:13.000But there's this whole other kind of urgent conflict happening in our country right now in our classrooms and our churches that it seems the Republican Party needs to not just weigh in on this, but lead on this and then also come up with solutions that resonate with normal people.
00:22:29.000And so talk a little bit about that because I mean, you could go through the whole spectrum of the Republican Party and it's very clear in your primary.
00:22:38.000You definitely have some Republicans running in the corporate model of the GOP, the Chamber of Commerce model.
00:22:44.000You know, one example is this guy, Mike Gibbons, who's actually a nice guy, but he's proposed raising taxes on middle-class Americans and, of course, middle-class Ohioans.
00:22:54.000And you sort of look at what's going on in our country and you recognize that Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple, they pay a lower tax rate than any middle-class Ohioan.
00:23:02.000Why are we raising taxes on middle-class Ohioans, right?
00:23:06.000Why aren't we cutting the taxes of the businesses that are creating jobs in our state and actually fixing the real problems that exist with some of these multinational corporations that are in bed with the communist Chinese?
00:23:18.000It just shows a total distortion of priorities when we're talking about hurting middle class Ohioans while we let all these companies off the hook.
00:23:26.000Another thing that comes up is we're obviously talking a lot about big tech because our voters care a lot about big tech.
00:23:31.000And you have some of these guys who say, well, Facebook is a massive monopoly.
00:23:35.000The solution to Facebook is just to log off Facebook.
00:23:37.000It's like, look, Facebook controls American democracy right now.
00:23:43.000They control the information that people see.
00:23:45.000If your solution to that problem is to just tell people to log off Facebook and not maybe go at the heart of the monopoly power that's been destroying our constitutional republic, then you got to wake up and realize what time it is, man.
00:23:56.000This is not the same set of problems we had 30, 40 years ago.
00:23:59.000This is a radically different country and it needs radically different solutions to solve the problems.
00:24:03.000Yeah, so let's talk about some of those.
00:24:05.000I mean, you have a new ad out that the media has lost their mind over.
00:24:16.000You know, the current kind of senators of Ohio seem uninterested in this topic, even though it directly affects Ohio through labor and wages and drugs and all this.
00:24:27.000This is a great issue where Republicans traditionally have talked an okay game, some not, and then do absolutely nothing, but you're leading on this issue.
00:24:36.000Yeah, I mean, so you look at the crisis at the southern border, Charlie, and it affects us in Ohio in three very direct ways.
00:24:42.000One, massive increase in fentanyl across the southern border, killing a lot of our people, leading cause of deaths among 18 to 45-year-olds in our state is fentanyl that's coming across the southern border.
00:24:53.000Two, massive increase in sex trafficking.
00:24:55.000You've got teenage kids being sex trafficked from Central America in Ohio communities.
00:25:28.000They don't care about increasing compassion or understanding between white and black Americans.
00:25:34.000What they do is they've found a rhetorical weapon they can use to silence people from complaining about the conditions of their own country.
00:25:42.000So we decided to cut this ad that really went right at the heart of that and said, look, you know, are you a racist?
00:25:50.000You care about the southern border for all these other problems that it causes.
00:25:54.000And of course, the media reaction to this ad, you're right, they've gone completely insane.
00:25:58.000It almost proves the point that I was trying to illustrate by cutting the ad in the first place.
00:26:03.000And if you even talk about this issue, you get accused of something false when what you're really concerned about is love of your own country, love of your fellow citizens, their safety and prosperity.
00:26:15.000Why is it that, I mean, there's some obvious answers, but I'd love your take.
00:26:18.000Why is it that Republicans, especially ones that are elected, seem much more interested in foreign borders than our own?
00:26:26.000And of course, that's illustrated well by what's going on.
00:26:28.000I think that I saw a statistic that for every 20 minutes that the media focuses on the Russia-Ukraine crisis, they focus one minute on the American southern border.
00:26:38.000Probably if you cut Fox News in that calculus, it probably goes down to like two seconds if you remove Fox News.
00:27:16.000Think about the cost of fertilizer skyrocketing, which is hurting Ohio farmers, but also down the road is going to mean a lot of our people can't afford food to eat, right?
00:27:25.000Think about the southern border and all the drug problems.
00:27:27.000Think about so many of the problems that are making our people less free, less secure, more poor.
00:27:34.000And Joe Biden doesn't have to talk about that stuff because he gets to talk about the border of a country 6,000 miles away.
00:27:40.000I think the media knows what game it's playing.
00:27:43.000And the thing I always warn conservatives, Charlie, those conservatives who want to project a strong America in the world, who care about America being the beacon of freedom, democracy, is I say, look, you go to war with the generals that you have.
00:27:56.000I know you've made this point too, Charlie.
00:27:58.000The generals we have are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
00:28:42.000One of the main consequences, man, the main tragedy of our departure from Afghanistan was how many weapon systems fell into the hands of our enemies.
00:28:51.000The Chinese caught up technologically in this very profound way because a lot of our advanced weapon systems fell into their hands.
00:28:58.000This is why we have to be careful about escalating this situation, because if it becomes a full-blown hot war with American involvement, we're not just going to lose American lives.
00:29:07.000We're going to lose American technology advantage.
00:29:09.000We're going to lose the weapon system into the hands of our enemies.
00:29:11.000This is a very dangerous situation for our country.
00:29:14.000And look, we've got the worst people in the world driving the ship.
00:29:18.000I want to avoid the iceberg, not drive right in the middle of it.
00:29:21.000Go to jdvance.com to help out JD in this last push.
00:29:59.000330 days on the road I spent last year.
00:30:02.000But if you're not careful, the stress can start to take a toll on your body, raising your blood pressure, making it harder to sleep, draining you of vital energy, and making you more irritable.
00:30:10.000That's why I recommend you supplement with magnesium daily.
00:30:13.000About 75% of people are magnesium deficient.
00:30:16.000That number might be higher among business owners and C-level professionals.
00:30:20.000That's because stress depletes magnesium levels.
00:30:22.000This can trigger a various cycle of rising stress and severe magnesium deficiency.
00:30:27.000This deficiency can lead to higher levels of anxiety, irritability, trouble sleeping, and low energy.
00:30:32.000It can even contribute to foot and leg cramps while you sleep.
00:30:35.000Now, you might be wondering, does magnesium really affect all these things?
00:30:39.000In fact, magnesium is involved in more than 300 chemical processes inside your body.
00:30:43.000So a lot of different things can start to go wrong if you're deficient.
00:30:46.000The good news is you can experience a number of positive health benefits just by getting enough magnesium, including better sleep, more energy, healthy blood pressure, less irritability, a calmer mood, stronger bones, reduced muscle cramping, and even a few migraines.
00:30:58.000But to experience these health benefits, you have to get the right kinds of magnesium.
00:31:01.000Truth is, most magnesium supplements you find in health stores use the only two cheapest synthetic forms.
00:31:25.000Simply take two capsules before you go to bed, and you'll be amazed by the improvements in your mood and energy levels.
00:31:30.000And how much rested you feel when you wake up?
00:31:32.000How much more rest do you feel when you wake up?

00:32:12.000And I think if he wanted to do a great public service for America, Elon should let you back on Twitter, but he should also let Donald Trump back on Twitter.
00:32:21.000Even the people who get annoyed at Donald Trump's Twitter profile have to admit it was a great source of political comedy for our country, right?
00:32:29.000Like we actually had a politician who recognized how humorous the whole political system was and actually cracked some jokes about it.
00:32:37.000That's maybe the thing I miss most about Trump's Twitter profile.
00:32:40.000But look, man, I fear at the end of the day that a guy like Elon buying Twitter or buying 10% of it doesn't actually solve the deeper structural problem of big tech in this country.
00:32:52.000And Twitter isn't even the most important one, right?
00:32:54.000Google, Facebook, Apple, much more significant companies in our daily lives.
00:32:59.000So look, let me just illustrate this, right?
00:33:01.000So we all know the way that these companies affect our politics.
00:33:05.000So the Hunter Biden laptop story, I think the suppression of that story by itself cost Trump millions of votes, which before you even get to the election day problems, that what happened before Election Day, I think probably cost Trump by itself the election.
00:33:20.000The other thing that's going on, man, is if you take all of these companies, they're also not just affecting our politics, they're affecting our culture too.
00:33:29.000So Google, Charlie, when you're alone after your show, just type into Google, can a man become pregnant?
00:33:37.000And the first result that you will get is yes, men can become pregnant.
00:33:40.000In fact, it happens more often than you might think.
00:33:42.000Now, that's that, like, it's funny for us to joke about this, but think about a 12-year-old.
00:33:46.000Right here, it says, yes, can a man become pregnant?
00:33:49.000Yes, it's possible for men to become pregnant and give birth to children of their own.
00:35:10.000And I'm not going to be one of these guys that gets embarrassed when we haul these tech company CEOs and ask them questions about what's going on, right?
00:35:17.000It's really sad when you've got these Republican senators who clearly have no idea what's going on and Zuckerberg or Dorsey or whoever else just runs circles around them.
00:35:26.000You're never going to get to the bottom of this stuff unless you have senators who understand how these technologies work.
00:35:32.000And yeah, man, to me, this is maybe the most important single issue.
00:35:36.000Because if you can control what people see, what information they have access to, you can control how they think, you can control how they speak, you control how they vote.
00:35:46.000So this is really the power to control the world's greatest country.
00:35:50.000And that is something that we have to be very careful of, especially given the business relationships between the big tech companies and a lot of our biggest enemies, including the CCP.
00:36:00.000And the CDC. as well, which is important to remember.
00:36:03.000Tons of money being pumped in from the federal government to subsidize these tech companies.
