00:00:42.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:03:31.000You know, you've been vandalized there.
00:03:33.000You famously were in a car with Dave Rubin and you were doing some sort of campus stop and you got your car, you know, all the computers, Nintendo's, Dave's Nintendo got stolen, a whole bunch of stuff.
00:03:45.000We see this and, you know, to see a city that has such promise and is probably the most beautiful city in America.
00:03:56.000As you mentioned, the topography to its location in the water, to see it willingly choose decline and just woke moronic idiocy time and time again is truly something to behold.
00:04:10.000And you've got these two metropoles on both coasts.
00:04:13.000It's like all of America's entrepreneurial spirit, its capital, its might, it seemed to get poured into New York and San Francisco.
00:04:22.000So you had these two sister cities on either side of the country spanning the expanse of our great country.
00:04:29.000And to watch them both, in their own unique, silly, stupid, plainly obvious way, get dragged into the into the into the abyss is super hard to watch.
00:04:42.000And I we were talking about this in the chat yesterday because I think you tweeted something about New York specifically.
00:04:49.000I don't want to root against American cities.
00:04:52.000It is not in my DNA, whether they're Democrat or Republican.
00:05:39.000And the takeaway for this, what we're talking about, everybody, for New York and San Francisco, I want to play a piece of tape here, is that it's politics.
00:07:01.000And by the way, that was the underreported fact of that clip, Charlie, is watching those overpaid NBA athletes shoot from like 10 feet behind the three-point line and just throwing up random shots.
00:07:15.000Like the quality of basketball is just busy.
00:07:18.000I don't forget that the time was running out.
00:07:20.000There's a great chart that Ryan has to make, which is the quality of NBA basketball and the quality of America are directly correlated together.
00:07:28.000And by the way, the final score was 211 to 186.
00:08:30.000But for it to penetrate the NBA All-Star game and to have Charles Barkley say, we don't go to an entire city.
00:08:38.000And by the way, that's like a humiliation to Steph Curry, to the Golden State Warriors, that their city has become a laughingstock during a, well, what's it's not really a major cultural event, but somewhat of a major cultural event.
00:08:52.000Well, and just so people were confused about this, this all-star game was in Indianapolis.
00:08:58.000So Charles Barkley was saying, hey, would you rather be here where it's cold, or are you going to make me go to San Francisco next year, which is where the All-Star game is scheduled for next year, and get robbed by a bunch of homeless crooks.
00:09:18.000He's got a long history in this, being an announcer, but Reggie's trying to work his way in or something.
00:09:24.000You know, he's not as well known for this gig.
00:09:27.000And he's a great NBA player in his own right.
00:09:30.000And, you know, gave Jordan a run for his money.
00:09:32.000No disrespect to Reggie, but I love this dichotomy of you got the truth teller on one side, and then you have this other guy that's kind of the spokesperson for the regime.
00:09:41.000You know, oh, no, San Francisco's fine.
00:09:46.000The city has not been fine for a long time.
00:09:49.000And then, and then on top of that, they're trying to make it easier for people who are not citizens to not only vote in local elections, but then run local elections, which is, I think, just a perfect symbol of how disconnected from reality this city has become.
00:10:07.000And they do not care that their home is falling apart.
00:10:10.000By the way, there was a story about Oakland, which is an overflow sister city of San Francisco.
00:10:14.000It's so sad what's happened there as well.
00:10:18.000The globalists are making it very clear that another pandemic could be just around the corner.
00:10:22.000They want us to live in fear, to be willing to sacrifice our freedoms.
00:10:42.000Rest assured knowing that you have emergency antibiotics, antivirals, and anti-parasitics on hand to help keep you and your family safe from whatever the globalists throw at us next.
00:12:36.000And this, you know, it's, I was joking about the, obviously, the boundary breaking nature of this.
00:12:44.000And it's, you know, the glass ceiling, all these, you know, it's like, I feel like for the last 15 years, we've all had to put up with the first woman, the first African-American, the first Hispanic.
00:12:54.000And I, and I thought to myself, it's like, and then they started getting to second, you know, the second black woman or the second Hispanic and then the third only.
00:13:02.000And I thought, how long are they going to do this?
00:13:04.000How long are we going to have to keep referencing which number in the order of the boundary breaking that this person is?
00:13:11.000And then they just come up with a whole new category.
00:13:13.000The first non-citizen to be elected to the election commissions.
00:13:17.000And it's like, yeah, we just heard her, you know, for 30 seconds there going off in Mandarin.
00:13:24.000And how edifying was that for our audience?
00:13:26.000In America, isn't that exactly what you want to hear?
00:13:29.000And we've talked about it on this show.
00:13:31.000You've talked about it a lot on your various platforms, Charlie, but just the degrading of what it means to be an American citizen.
00:13:39.000And now they're trying to, there's a bill in Congress trying to make it so illegals can get citizenship if they serve in the armed forces because we're missing our recruiting goals by over 40,000 because native-born Americans don't believe in the military anymore.
00:13:57.000And there's stories out of New York that I know we're going to get to where they're just handing out debit cards full of like $10,000 in cash potentially up to it's very insulting.
00:14:08.000What's the point of being an American if you get all the benefits, you get all the access, everything you could possibly want, free money if you're not even a citizen?
00:14:18.000And I think you should feel really insulted wherever you're listening to this, that this is the state of the current Democrat Party.
00:14:28.000There's only, and that's what goes back to the point, which is for some of your family members that you might talk to, they might say, I don't like politics.
00:15:17.000The newest member of the San Francisco Election Commission, a seven-member civilian that oversees and creates policies for Department of Elections, isn't legally allowed to vote.
00:15:40.000They want more and more power for illegals.
00:15:45.000They want more representation for illegals because it was their policies that opened the doors wide open in the first place, and they want to reap the benefit.
00:15:53.000They get people that are not drawn to a conservative viewpoint that look at the Democrat Party as the handaway party.
00:16:03.000Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.
00:16:07.000If you deal with exhaustion, brain fog, mood swings, or food cravings, if you're constantly getting sick or simply lack the zeal you used to have in life, then I have some news for you.
00:16:16.000While back, I found a liquid supplement called Strong Cell, and it changed my health in a very profound way.
00:16:42.000After taking Strong Cell for six weeks, I found improvement in many areas, less shoulder pain, improved mental clarity, increased natural energy, and so much more.

00:16:52.000Rebecca says, I absolutely love Strong Cell.
00:16:55.000At first, I didn't think it would make much of a difference for my chronic fatigue, depression, and anxiety, but I thought I'd give it a chance.
00:17:00.000I've tried to find depression meds for 10 years, and since you Strong Cell, I'm feeling better than I ever have on depression medication.

00:17:57.000So, Andrew, you pinpointed this earlier, and I want to play this New York tape, but I feel as if a part of what I love is dying, and I don't celebrate it.
00:18:08.000We as conservatives are not to blame for it, but it's tragic because some of the most important parts of America are in New York and San Francisco.
00:18:17.000When people think of America overseas, they typically will think of either New York, LA, and LA is its own set of issues.
00:18:25.000LA is largely dead, kept only alive probably because of the weather and because of the film industry.
00:18:30.000But LA is basically also dead and completely unrecognizable.
00:18:35.000Andrew, as someone who has spent time in some of these liberal enclaves, LA especially, can you at least hypothesize why voting habits do not change, even though the suffering, the calamity, and the crime continue to mount?
00:18:50.000Yeah, LA is an interesting one, actually, because, you know, up until, I think, 2001 or two, it had a Republican mayor, actually, Richard Riordan.
00:19:02.000It kind of mirrored the New York, LA, you know, Rudy Giuliani era, and it got a lot of policing.
00:19:13.000And you really saw this amazing era in both New York and in LA from about the late 90s, early 2000s, up until COVID, really.
00:19:25.000Even LA, you know, for all its problems, was a pretty great place in a lot of ways and has a more conservative streak than people would normally associate with, say, for example, San Francisco.
00:19:38.000Definitely has a different feel than San Francisco.
00:19:41.000And I would say that, you know, and by the way, you've got Santa Barbara, which has the Reagan Ranch up north.
00:19:47.000You've got the Reagan Library in Simi Valley and parts of northern Los Angeles are pretty conservative, actually.
00:19:59.000And so it really is kind of an outlier in some ways.
00:20:02.000And you had Rick Caruso, who was running for mayor, who was formerly a Republican, then became a Democrat basically so that the R word wasn't the scarlet letter for him, Republican.
00:20:19.000He got Gwyneth Paltrow, Snoop Dogg endorsements, lots of buzz about him, the Kardashians, and got really close, but ultimately couldn't do it.
00:20:27.000And I think the problem is that you've had this replacement thing that we talk about, everybody says, oh, conspiracy.
00:20:34.000Well, no, California is the example for that, right?
00:20:39.000And I think we talked about it actually one of the days you weren't here, where the Democrats have actually seen California as the first installment of what they plan to do through demographics meet equaling destiny.
00:20:54.000Now, I don't necessarily ascribe to that.
00:20:55.000I think Hispanics are coming towards the Conservative Party.
00:20:59.000Whether they'll come all the way, I don't know.
00:21:02.000But, you know, the bottom line is, Charlie, we have to deal with the fact that Democrats have not won the black or the white vote for a long time.
00:21:09.000They lost it by 20 and 17%, respectively, in 2016 and 2020.
00:21:15.000And they know that they do better with minorities.
00:21:17.000And California in the 90s attempted to deal with this.
00:21:47.000LA is a perfect example of that, where you have one group, especially the Hispanic group, voting a certain way, and you can't convince them otherwise.
00:21:56.000Now, I will say California Hispanics and Texas Hispanics are different.
00:22:00.000You'll see much better splits for Republicans with Texas Hispanics, for example, than you will with California Hispanics.
00:22:07.000But essentially, you know, the R word has become a dirty word in California politics.
00:22:11.000So if you have an R next to your name, you're written off, and the GOP here is basically dead.
00:22:17.000And, you know, there's not a whole lot of movement behind it or energy behind it, especially after Arnold Schwarzenegger.
00:22:25.000And so it's a branding thing as much as anything.
00:22:28.000You know, they just see the R-word as being so frustrating because you see the destruction and the entrance into dystopia and voting habits remain unchanged.
00:22:41.000Donald Trump had his business empire effectively taken away from him.
00:22:45.000One of the most articulate defenders on television right now is Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank.
00:22:51.000He's not a political person, but he has been excellent in defending how outrageous this is.
00:22:58.000And quite honestly, it's easy to forget, and we've taken it for granted for so long, but the genuine rule of law that we have in this country is one of the most important pieces of a successful country.
00:23:10.000Historically, it's also very uncommon.
00:23:12.000In most countries and for most of history, the law was just the gloss put over the actions of the powerful.
00:23:19.000The king or the emperor or the powerful nobles ruled with basically absolute power and authority.
00:23:24.000An ordinary person who tried to oppose them had no chance.
00:23:27.000Having a court system, any court system that more or less fairly adjudicates the laws is one of the blessings we inherited from England, specifically Blackstone and the Western legal and English legal tradition.
00:23:41.000And it's why both England and America became so rich.
00:23:45.000The rule of law and private property rights, even more than low taxes and low regulation, is the number one ingredient towards wealth creation.
00:23:58.000When the rule of law is strong and property rights are strong, the king or someone else just can't take in, walk in, and take your stuff for no reason.
00:24:06.000And when property rights are strong, that means people are more willing to be economically productive because they can keep their stuff.
00:24:12.000They can build and invest for the future because they can count on being able to pass what they build on and pass them on to their kids.
00:24:18.000When the rule of law and property rights erode, prosperity goes away rapidly because why bother building anything?
00:24:25.000That's why Cuba and Venezuela are disasters, why South Africa is a disaster.
00:24:29.000Now, New York was already reeling from the aftermath of the COVID lockdowns.
00:24:33.000Now, New York is scrambling to explain to its massive financial and real estate sectors why they shouldn't flee the state.
00:24:56.000If you get on the wrong side of the political regime, they could take all your stuff despite there being no victims.
00:25:04.000Because businessmen in New York see that New York's takedown of the Trump organization was a completely unprecedented and nakedly political.
00:25:12.000It was the Soviet-style takedown of a state enemy.
00:25:15.000It's not just the civil suit against Trump organization.
00:25:18.000It's also worth remembering the E. Gene Carroll case.
00:25:21.000New York legislature extended the statute of limitations for the six-month period that it could actually, so Carroll could file a lawsuit.
00:25:52.000Wouldn't there be many companies who would not want to do business or loan money to people like yourself or investors if they know that they can get away with fraud and there's no recourse to protect them?
00:26:08.000I don't, this is not about Trump anymore.
00:26:10.000When you get a developer, when you get a developer that builds a building and he says it's worth $400 million and he wants to borrow $200 million from a bank, which happens every day, everywhere on earth, including every American city, every developer is an entrepreneur.
00:26:26.000They shine the light on their building and they say it's worth $400.
00:26:28.000The bank does its own due diligence, as was done in this case, because they're very good at it.
00:27:20.000And I'm so grateful to Kevin O'Leary for going out and stating the obvious that you have now fallen into Venezuela, Cuba territory where people can just disagree with you and steal from you and rob you.
00:27:34.000And, you know, again, this goes back to what we said earlier.
00:27:37.000I don't want to root against New York, but how can you not when they are literally robbing from Donald Trump?
00:27:45.000This is a crime, quote unquote, with no victims.
00:27:50.000As a matter of fact, if you went back to the banks, I'm sure they would be like, Mr. Trump, here's another loan because you've been such a good client of the bank.
00:27:59.000And so for them to then show me the man, show me the crime, this is Soviet.
00:28:05.000This is a show trial type stuff, and it has to come with consequences.
00:28:11.000But again, I think that they're so myopic and fixated on getting Trump that they can't see the fact that their policies and their pursuits and their vendettas are going to have real-world consequences for their city.
00:28:42.000Keith says he now has, quote, little to no pain in my knees and highly reduced neck pain.
00:28:47.000Feeling so much better, he pursued a second-degree black belt.
00:28:50.000If you're living with aches and pains, see how Relief Factor, a daily drug-free supplement, could help you feel better and live better every day.
00:28:56.000I know so many people that have taken Relief Factor and they speak highly of it.
00:29:00.000Developed by doctors, Relief Factor truly has helped so many people take back their lives.
00:30:55.000And Charlie, you know this better than I do because, you know, a lot of these people are donors or friends of yours in the business network.
00:31:27.000But I don't know what needs to change in New York for that to take place.
00:31:32.000And it is a growing trend of these blue states.
00:31:35.000And you see this, by the way, other cities are next.
00:31:38.000Denver has already collapsed and will soon be one of the laughing stocks.
00:31:42.000Nashville is well on its way for all the Tennessee Patriots out there.
00:31:46.000Nashville is showing some very, very dangerous signs of collapse.
00:31:49.000Atlanta has its own problems, but no city is immune to this virus, which is allowing the panhandling, the homelessness, the crime, the lack of prosecution.
00:32:01.000Now, Florida, to the great credit, there's this amazing CNN clip where they said, well, you know, all these criminals, they tend to focus on New York, not on Florida, because they know if they go to Florida, they're going to get thrown into jail.
00:32:16.000I didn't know you were going to pull it up.
00:32:17.000But yeah, I mean, what you called out, though, with Nashville, I happen to like Nashville, but I will tell you that, you know, Houston, Dallas, blue cities and red states are definitely not immune to this, even in Florida.
00:32:31.000But, you know, because they tend to be Democrat-controlled, and so they're still plagued by all this week on crime, you know, lax enforcement of laws and then selected prosecutions, right?
00:32:44.000So you can go and steal a bunch of stuff in New York.
00:32:48.000You can beat up some police officers if you're an illegal.
00:32:51.000And we haven't really hit this story, I think, enough.
00:32:53.000But Eric Adams is now piloting a program where he might give illegals debit cards with $10,000 in free money.
00:33:01.000And by the way, this great New York Post reporter has highlighted this story, and it's just remarkable.
00:33:37.000It could actually end up being a bottomless pit in the billions, the way that this contract is written.
00:33:43.000So, as many illegals need it, they're going to keep handing out cash cards.
00:33:46.000Now, hopefully, a city that's already strapped and cutting like library services and park services and police academy trainings is going to then, you know, reel this back in, you would hope.
00:33:58.000Sanctuary cities are doggedly committed to this moronic idea that they have to take care of criminal aliens that have broken into America before American citizens.
00:34:09.000Growing up, San Francisco and New York, two of the great American cities, they are now laughing stocks.
00:34:14.000They are now, it's now the agreed consensus of anyone that looks at it fairly and analytically.
00:34:19.000Do not invest, do not spend money, get out of San Francisco and New York.
