00:01:22.000 Producer Andrew, welcome to the program.
00:01:25.000 Thanks so much for having me, Charlie.
00:01:26.000 Important day.
00:01:27.000 It is an important day.
00:01:28.000 And so the lead, we wanted to touch on this yesterday.
00:01:31.000 We were kind of going through the news, and I want to just kind of share my thoughts.
00:01:35.000 Andrew, I know this is close to your heart as well.
00:01:37.000 Two cities that I grew up admiring, especially when I was when I started Turning Point USA and I started traveling the country by myself.
00:01:44.000 There were two cities that just seemed larger than life that I got a lot of energy from.
00:01:48.000 One in particular was New York.
00:01:49.000 New York was my favorite city.
00:01:50.000 I would visit frequently.
00:01:51.000 I always felt safe, would raise money there, go on Fox, go on TV.
00:01:55.000 It was, is that the more time you spent in New York, the more you felt charged up.
00:01:59.000 And, you know, I remember even visiting New York with you, Andrew, six or seven years ago, and we still had that feeling.
00:02:04.000 The other was San Francisco.
00:02:06.000 San Francisco is a uniquely American city.
00:02:08.000 There is no city quite like it.
00:02:11.000 From the topography to the culture to the restaurants to the history.
00:02:16.000 It really is unique.
00:02:17.000 And it is remarkable.
00:02:19.000 Both of these cities, and we're going to go through news items on both.
00:02:24.000 New York and San Francisco have made a conscious decision to no longer be great cities.
00:02:30.000 And New York, of course, the top story is the confiscation of Trump's business empire.
00:02:34.000 And we're going to go through some of the tape there.
00:02:36.000 And San Francisco has become the laughingstock of the NBA All-Star Game.
00:02:40.000 We'll play that, as well as having a foreigner.
00:02:43.000 That's right, a foreigner to their election commission. 0.87
00:02:46.000 Andrew, you grew up, I don't want to say near San Francisco, but regionally, you know, in the same area, in the Tahoe area.
00:02:52.000 So there's a lot of San Francisco elements there.
00:02:56.000 San Francisco used to be one of America's greatest cities.
00:02:59.000 Yeah, so we I grew up driving to San Francisco all the time as a Nevada guy on that side of the border.
00:03:04.000 We would root for San Francisco teams.
00:03:06.000 I grew up rooting for the Giants and the Niners.
00:03:09.000 I have a bunch of Italian relatives still in San Francisco.
00:03:12.000 They have restaurants and the wharf.
00:03:14.000 It's a city near and dear to my heart because it was such a huge part of my childhood.
00:03:18.000 And, you know, to watch it slowly decay by choice is a really hard thing to watch.
00:03:25.000 And we've seen critics like Elon Musk.
00:03:28.000 We've seen Joe Rogan criticize it.
00:03:31.000 You know, you've been vandalized there.
00:03:33.000 You 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.
00:03:45.000 We see this and, you know, to see a city that has such promise and is probably the most beautiful city in America. 0.99
00:03:56.000 As 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. 0.98
00:04:10.000 And you've got these two metropoles on both coasts. 0.93
00:04:13.000 It's like all of America's entrepreneurial spirit, its capital, its might, it seemed to get poured into New York and San Francisco.
00:04:22.000 So you had these two sister cities on either side of the country spanning the expanse of our great country. 0.98
00:04:29.000 And 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. 0.95
00:04:42.000 And I we were talking about this in the chat yesterday because I think you tweeted something about New York specifically. 0.98
00:04:49.000 I don't want to root against American cities.
00:04:52.000 It is not in my DNA, whether they're Democrat or Republican.
00:04:56.000 I don't want to see this.
00:04:57.000 I hate seeing it.
00:04:59.000 But at some level, we have to get to the point where we say, you have this coming and you must experience the pain.
00:05:05.000 You are, you know, you're on your own right now.
00:05:09.000 And I hope the consequences wake you up sooner than later.
00:05:12.000 Yeah.
00:05:13.000 And it's just tragic.
00:05:14.000 I feel sadness because I used to love visiting San Francisco.
00:05:18.000 And I'd say eight years ago, I felt that I could walk the streets of San Francisco, no problem.
00:05:22.000 I mean, there was a little bit of homeless there.
00:05:25.000 But for those of you that have never visited San Francisco, it just, there's no city like it on the planet.
00:05:30.000 It's just, it's the hills and the, you know, this, the, the one, the winding areas, and it just bridges.
00:05:38.000 Exactly, the bridges.
00:05:39.000 And 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.
00:05:48.000 It's politics.
00:05:49.000 It is tempting for some people to say, I don't care about politics.
00:05:52.000 Well, not caring about politics has destroyed two of the greatest things we had in this country: San Francisco and New York.
00:05:59.000 Don't take my word for it.
00:06:00.000 Charles Barkley out of nowhere in the NBA All-Star game just starts going off.
00:06:06.000 And Reggie Miller is kind of defending San Francisco.
00:06:08.000 He's being the politically correct Reggie Miller.
00:06:12.000 Play cut 26.
00:06:14.000 Hey, hey, hey, hey, Reggie.
00:06:15.000 Yes. 0.80
00:06:17.000 If you had a chance to be in cold or being around a bunch of homeless crooks in San Francisco, when you charge me.
00:06:28.000 We love San Francisco.
00:06:30.000 No, we don't.
00:06:30.000 Yes, we do.
00:06:31.000 Can't even walk around down.
00:06:32.000 Yes, you can walk around.
00:06:34.000 Yeah, with bulletproof back. 1.00
00:06:42.000 Just hold that thing down.
00:06:43.000 You know what?
00:06:45.000 No, we don't.
00:06:45.000 That's one of the great.
00:06:47.000 I mean, Charles Barkley's just amazing.
00:06:48.000 He's he's great on some issues, really frustrating on others.
00:06:51.000 And by the way, that's the most entertaining thing that came out of the 200 points scored at the NBA All-Star game.
00:06:57.000 That was 300.
00:06:58.000 It was 300.
00:06:58.000 It was like 160 to 140 or whatever.
00:07:01.000 And 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.
00:07:15.000 Like the quality of basketball is just busy.
00:07:18.000 I don't forget that the time was running out.
00:07:20.000 There'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.
00:07:28.000 And by the way, the final score was 211 to 186.
00:07:33.000 Oh, my God. 0.86
00:07:34.000 That's that's that's ridiculous. 0.97
00:07:37.000 There's 397 points scored. 0.84
00:07:40.000 You tweeted about this, Charlie, and it went viral.
00:07:42.000 I think you got like 3.5 million engagements or whatever.
00:07:46.000 And, you know, I was scrolling the chat, and there was probably about 100 people that went, there was an NBA All-Star game yesterday.
00:07:56.000 It's like nobody had any idea.
00:07:58.000 Well, and so it's illuminating because Charles Barkley is basically saying, no, we don't.
00:08:07.000 We don't like San Francisco.
00:08:08.000 And I just want to reiterate this.
00:08:10.000 It's not as if an asteroid came and hit San Francisco or that it was, well, it was sort of invaded, but invaded by a foreign power.
00:08:17.000 That what you are witnessing is something that was beautiful, something that worked, something that was desirable.
00:08:24.000 That this is not some sort of right-wing conspiracy.
00:08:27.000 First of all, you can just visit it for yourself. 0.99
00:08:28.000 It's an absolute trash can. 0.78
00:08:30.000 But for it to penetrate the NBA All-Star game and to have Charles Barkley say, we don't go to an entire city. 0.87
00:08:38.000 And 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.
00:08:52.000 Well, and just so people were confused about this, this all-star game was in Indianapolis.
00:08:58.000 So 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.
00:09:10.000 And then, and you're totally right.
00:09:12.000 You know, Charles Barkley is this wild card.
00:09:14.000 He'll say whatever he wants to say because he's Charles Barkley.
00:09:16.000 He's beloved.
00:09:17.000 He's trusted.
00:09:18.000 He's got a long history in this, being an announcer, but Reggie's trying to work his way in or something.
00:09:24.000 You know, he's not as well known for this gig.
00:09:27.000 And he's a great NBA player in his own right.
00:09:30.000 And, you know, gave Jordan a run for his money.
00:09:32.000 No 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.
00:09:41.000 You know, oh, no, San Francisco's fine.
00:09:43.000 Well, it's actually not fine.
00:09:46.000 The city has not been fine for a long time.
00:09:49.000 And 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.
00:10:07.000 And they do not care that their home is falling apart.
00:10:10.000 By the way, there was a story about Oakland, which is an overflow sister city of San Francisco.
00:10:14.000 It's so sad what's happened there as well.
00:10:18.000 The globalists are making it very clear that another pandemic could be just around the corner.
00:10:22.000 They want us to live in fear, to be willing to sacrifice our freedoms.
00:10:25.000 It doesn't have to be this way.
00:10:26.000 You need to be prepared, not scared.
00:10:28.000 That's why you need the wellness company.
00:10:29.000 The wellness company and their doctors are medical professionals that you can trust.
00:10:33.000 Their medical emergency kits are the gold standard when it comes to keeping you safe and healthy.
00:10:38.000 Be ready for anything.
00:10:39.000 I can 100% endorse this company.
00:10:41.000 They are amazing.
00:10:42.000 Rest 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.

00:11:08.000 So, Andrew, let's go to this piece of tape here.
00:11:11.000 As if San Francisco doesn't have enough problems.
00:11:14.000 San Francisco has now elected a non-citizen.
00:11:18.000 That's right, a non-citizen. 0.80
00:11:20.000 I think we have a piece of tape here that correlates with this.
00:11:23.000 So, Andrew, do you want to give some background here?
00:11:25.000 It's a non-citizen foreigner who is now on the San Francisco Election Commission.
00:11:32.000 And we've been saying for quite some time, hey, foreigners are going to be allowed to vote.
00:11:36.000 Not only can foreigners vote in certain elections, but foreigners can serve on election commission boards.
00:11:43.000 Yeah, this is Kelly Wong, you know, and she's so she's breaking barriers, Charlie.
00:11:49.000 Breaking barriers.
00:11:50.000 She's the first non-citizen to be appointed to San Francisco's Elections Commission.
00:11:55.000 And she gave her victory speech in Mandarin in the middle of San Francisco.
00:12:00.000 Listen, this is her victory speech, play cut 25.
00:12:18.000 Do you get that?
00:12:19.000 Welcome to America.
00:12:19.000 That is your election official.
00:12:21.000 And by the way, we played it intentionally with the Mandarin because people are saying, I don't understand what's going on.
00:12:25.000 She's an election official. 0.83
00:12:27.000 She's in charge. 0.99
00:12:28.000 And she gave her entire speech.
00:12:30.000 She gave an entire victory speech and her conversation, her interview in a foreign language. 0.84
00:12:36.000 Yeah.
00:12:36.000 And this, you know, it's, I was joking about the, obviously, the boundary breaking nature of this.
00:12:44.000 And 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. 1.00
00:12:54.000 And 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. 0.75
00:13:02.000 And I thought, how long are they going to do this?
00:13:04.000 How long are we going to have to keep referencing which number in the order of the boundary breaking that this person is?
00:13:11.000 And then they just come up with a whole new category.
00:13:13.000 The first non-citizen to be elected to the election commissions.
00:13:17.000 And it's like, yeah, we just heard her, you know, for 30 seconds there going off in Mandarin.
00:13:24.000 And how edifying was that for our audience?
00:13:26.000 In America, isn't that exactly what you want to hear?
00:13:29.000 And we've talked about it on this show.
00:13:31.000 You've talked about it a lot on your various platforms, Charlie, but just the degrading of what it means to be an American citizen.
00:13:39.000 And 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.
00:13:54.000 And on and on it goes.
00:13:57.000 And 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.
00:14:08.000 What'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?
00:14:18.000 And I think you should feel really insulted wherever you're listening to this, that this is the state of the current Democrat Party.
00:14:25.000 Republicans are not pushing this.
00:14:26.000 This is coming from the Democrats.
00:14:28.000 One party rule.
00:14:28.000 There'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.
00:14:36.000 Politics is too divisive.
00:14:38.000 One party rule, you get San Francisco and New York.
00:14:42.000 But think about the celebration.
00:14:44.000 They're celebrating this individual, Kelly Wong, who is, again, not a U.S. citizen, appoints first non-citizen.
00:14:52.000 I just want to reiterate this.
00:14:54.000 We're not making fun of people that speak Chinese and they're here legally.
00:14:58.000 Okay.
00:14:58.000 That's something that's a separate conversation.
00:15:00.000 I hope you learn English, but if you're here legally, you're here legally.
00:15:03.000 This is someone who is here legally, okay, but not a citizen.
00:15:08.000 Like not a passport holder, can't vote. 1.00
00:15:12.000 Can I just say that?
00:15:13.000 Isn't legally allowed to vote.
00:15:14.000 Let me read this on sanfrancisco.com.
00:15:17.000 The 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.
00:15:25.000 Is not legally allowed to vote.
00:15:27.000 Well, but Charlie, this goes back to some of the census stuff, right?
00:15:32.000 Democrats don't want citizenship included in the census because it's about congressional apportionment.
00:15:37.000 It's about dollars from DC.
00:15:40.000 They want more and more power for illegals. 0.94
00:15:45.000 They 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.
00:15:52.000 And this is part of the benefit.
00:15:53.000 They get people that are not drawn to a conservative viewpoint that look at the Democrat Party as the handaway party.
00:16:03.000 Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.
00:16:07.000 If 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.
00:16:16.000 While back, I found a liquid supplement called Strong Cell, and it changed my health in a very profound way.
00:16:22.000 I take it every single day.
00:16:24.000 Look, I knew I had to partner with them.
00:16:26.000 I did the research.
00:16:26.000 Google and look up online what happens when you mix NADH with CoQ10 and marine collagen.
00:16:33.000 It's simple.
00:16:34.000 Every area of your body has cells.
00:16:36.000 So if your cells are healthier, then you will also be healthier.
00:16:39.000 You don't have to take my word for it.
00:16:40.000 Listen to one of these testimonials.

00:16:49.000 I'm thankful that Charlie Kirk recommended this to his listeners.
00:16:52.000 Rebecca says, I absolutely love Strong Cell.
00:16:55.000 At 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.
00:17:00.000 I'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.
00:17:08.000 Customer for life, thank you, Charlie Kirk, for recommending this product.

00:17:57.000 So, 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.
00:18:07.000 We're not to blame for it.
00:18:08.000 We 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.
00:18:17.000 When people think of America overseas, they typically will think of either New York, LA, and LA is its own set of issues.
00:18:25.000 LA is largely dead, kept only alive probably because of the weather and because of the film industry.
00:18:30.000 But LA is basically also dead and completely unrecognizable.
00:18:35.000 Andrew, 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?
00:18:50.000 Yeah, LA is an interesting one, actually, because, you know, up until, I think, 2001 or two, it had a Republican mayor, actually, Richard Riordan.
00:19:02.000 It kind of mirrored the New York, LA, you know, Rudy Giuliani era, and it got a lot of policing.
00:19:11.000 It got safe.
00:19:11.000 It started gentrifying.
00:19:13.000 And you really saw this amazing era in both New York and in LA from about the late 90s, early 2000s, up until COVID, really.
00:19:25.000 Even 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.
00:19:38.000 Definitely has a different feel than San Francisco.
00:19:41.000 And I would say that, you know, and by the way, you've got Santa Barbara, which has the Reagan Ranch up north.
00:19:47.000 You've got the Reagan Library in Simi Valley and parts of northern Los Angeles are pretty conservative, actually.
00:19:57.000 Thousand Oaks area, Simi Valley.
00:19:59.000 And so it really is kind of an outlier in some ways.
00:20:02.000 And 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.
00:20:17.000 And he got really close.
00:20:19.000 He got Gwyneth Paltrow, Snoop Dogg endorsements, lots of buzz about him, the Kardashians, and got really close, but ultimately couldn't do it.
00:20:27.000 And I think the problem is that you've had this replacement thing that we talk about, everybody says, oh, conspiracy.
00:20:34.000 Well, no, California is the example for that, right?
00:20:39.000 And 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.
00:20:54.000 Now, I don't necessarily ascribe to that.
00:20:55.000 I think Hispanics are coming towards the Conservative Party.
00:20:59.000 Whether they'll come all the way, I don't know.
00:21:02.000 But, 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.
00:21:09.000 They lost it by 20 and 17%, respectively, in 2016 and 2020.
00:21:15.000 And they know that they do better with minorities.
00:21:17.000 And California in the 90s attempted to deal with this.
00:21:21.000 A judge got in the way.
00:21:22.000 They tried to make it illegal for non-citizens, illegals to use schools and basically public goods like schools, hospitals, et cetera.
00:21:36.000 It passed overwhelmingly by 60 plus percent.
00:21:40.000 And then the courts got in the way.
00:21:42.000 And California has basically been lost ever since.
00:21:45.000 And it's been slowly going that way.
00:21:47.000 LA 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. 1.00
00:21:56.000 Now, I will say California Hispanics and Texas Hispanics are different.
00:22:00.000 You'll see much better splits for Republicans with Texas Hispanics, for example, than you will with California Hispanics.
00:22:07.000 But essentially, you know, the R word has become a dirty word in California politics.
00:22:11.000 So if you have an R next to your name, you're written off, and the GOP here is basically dead.
00:22:17.000 And, you know, there's not a whole lot of movement behind it or energy behind it, especially after Arnold Schwarzenegger.
00:22:25.000 And so it's a branding thing as much as anything.
00:22:28.000 You 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.
00:22:39.000 I want to focus on New York here.
00:22:41.000 Donald Trump had his business empire effectively taken away from him.
00:22:45.000 One of the most articulate defenders on television right now is Kevin O'Leary from Shark Tank.
00:22:51.000 He's not a political person, but he has been excellent in defending how outrageous this is.
00:22:58.000 And 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.
00:23:10.000 Historically, it's also very uncommon.
00:23:12.000 In most countries and for most of history, the law was just the gloss put over the actions of the powerful.
00:23:19.000 The king or the emperor or the powerful nobles ruled with basically absolute power and authority.
00:23:24.000 An ordinary person who tried to oppose them had no chance.
00:23:27.000 Having 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.
00:23:41.000 And it's why both England and America became so rich.
00:23:44.000 Let me repeat that.
00:23:45.000 The rule of law and private property rights, even more than low taxes and low regulation, is the number one ingredient towards wealth creation.
00:23:58.000 When 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.
00:24:06.000 And when property rights are strong, that means people are more willing to be economically productive because they can keep their stuff.
00:24:12.000 They 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.
00:24:18.000 When the rule of law and property rights erode, prosperity goes away rapidly because why bother building anything?
00:24:25.000 That's why Cuba and Venezuela are disasters, why South Africa is a disaster. 0.97
00:24:29.000 Now, New York was already reeling from the aftermath of the COVID lockdowns.
00:24:33.000 Now, New York is scrambling to explain to its massive financial and real estate sectors why they shouldn't flee the state.
00:24:39.000 Now, let me pause.
00:24:40.000 I have spoke to a couple multi-billionaires in New York that are involved in the real estate business.
00:24:47.000 Democrat real estate guys are freaking out over this.
00:24:51.000 They are not happy.
00:24:52.000 Privately, they say this is totally outrageous.
00:24:55.000 They see what this is.
00:24:56.000 If you get on the wrong side of the political regime, they could take all your stuff despite there being no victims.
00:25:04.000 Because businessmen in New York see that New York's takedown of the Trump organization was a completely unprecedented and nakedly political.
00:25:12.000 It was the Soviet-style takedown of a state enemy.
00:25:15.000 It's not just the civil suit against Trump organization.
00:25:18.000 It's also worth remembering the E. Gene Carroll case.
00:25:21.000 New York legislature extended the statute of limitations for the six-month period that it could actually, so Carroll could file a lawsuit.
00:25:29.000 Then the law went away.
00:25:30.000 Six months later, it was all done just to help lawmakers take a shot at Trump with a case that was itself ludicrously flimsy at best.
00:25:38.000 So now businessmen are looking at this takedown and going, wait, what if we're next?
00:25:42.000 And Governor Hochl is trying to scramble around saying, oh, no, we won't do this to you.
00:25:47.000 We'll only do it to Trump.
00:25:48.000 He's the only state enemy.
00:25:49.000 Nobody should believe her. 0.86
00:25:50.000 Play cut 36.
00:25:52.000 Wouldn'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?
00:26:06.000 Excuse me, what fraud?
00:26:08.000 I don't, this is not about Trump anymore.
00:26:10.000 When 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.
00:26:26.000 They shine the light on their building and they say it's worth $400.
00:26:28.000 The bank does its own due diligence, as was done in this case, because they're very good at it.
00:26:34.000 The banks are very good.
00:26:35.000 And they say, no, it's worth $300.
00:26:37.000 We're only going to loan you $150 million.
00:26:39.000 That haggling has gone on for decades.
00:26:42.000 That's how it works.
00:26:43.000 What Kevin O'Leary is explaining is basically how capital deals are structured.
00:26:48.000 No one is going to want to develop in New York.
00:26:50.000 And it's almost like Letitia James wants it that way, Andrew.
00:26:54.000 This has never happened before in the history of the country.
00:26:59.000 Andrew.
00:27:00.000 Yeah, I don't think, you know, actually, I don't think that they want this.
00:27:03.000 They don't want people pulling out of California.
00:27:05.000 They're already complaining about their eroding tax base and fleeing to Florida.
00:27:10.000 But they just, they get so fixated and myopic on their get Trump crusade that they can't see that this has consequences.
00:27:18.000 And it does have consequences.
00:27:20.000 And 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. 0.79
00:27:34.000 And, you know, again, this goes back to what we said earlier.
00:27:37.000 I don't want to root against New York, but how can you not when they are literally robbing from Donald Trump?
00:27:45.000 This is a crime, quote unquote, with no victims.
00:27:48.000 Nobody lost money.
00:27:49.000 The banks made money.
00:27:50.000 As 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.
00:27:59.000 And so for them to then show me the man, show me the crime, this is Soviet. 0.97
00:28:05.000 This is a show trial type stuff, and it has to come with consequences.
00:28:11.000 But 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.
00:28:25.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:28:27.000 There's nothing worse than hearing about people living in pain.
00:28:30.000 That's why I want to tell you about Keith from Washington and his Relief Factor story.
00:28:34.000 After years of activity from college football to running a martial arts studio at age 51, Keith's body felt like it was wearing out.
00:28:40.000 So he gave Relief Factor a try.
00:28:42.000 Keith says he now has, quote, little to no pain in my knees and highly reduced neck pain.
00:28:47.000 Feeling so much better, he pursued a second-degree black belt.
00:28:50.000 If 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.
00:28:56.000 I know so many people that have taken Relief Factor and they speak highly of it.
00:29:00.000 Developed by doctors, Relief Factor truly has helped so many people take back their lives.
00:29:05.000 So get started.
00:29:06.000 Try the Relief Factor three-week quick start.
00:29:09.000 It's only $19.95 and it comes with a feel better or your money-back guarantee.

00:29:20.000 That is the number 1-800 for relief.
00:29:22.000 Relief Factor.
00:29:23.000 Get out of pain today, relieffactor.com.
00:29:28.000 Let's play cut 24 here.
00:29:29.000 Kevin O'Leary reiterates on the mass exodus that will be occurring.
00:29:33.000 Play cut 24.
00:29:35.000 This award, I mean, just leaving the whole Trump thing out of it and seeing what occurred here.
00:29:40.000 And I'm no different than any other investor.
00:29:43.000 I'm shocked at this.
00:29:44.000 I can't even understand or fathom the decision at all.
00:29:49.000 There's no rationale for it.
00:29:51.000 And so it doesn't matter what the governor says. 0.98
00:29:55.000 New York was already a loser state. 0.99
00:29:58.000 Like California is a loser state. 0.94
00:30:00.000 There are many loser states because of policy, high taxes, uncompetitive regulation. 0.98
00:30:05.000 It was already on the top of the list of being a loser state.
00:30:08.000 I would never invest in New York now.
00:30:11.000 And I'm not the only person saying that.
00:30:14.000 And so, Andrew, this is now San Francisco, New York.
00:30:18.000 You could add Chicago to the list.
00:30:20.000 Kevin O'Leary making the argument that the flow of capital is only going to increase.
00:30:25.000 And Kathy Hochl came out and said, oh, don't worry.
00:30:27.000 This is an extraordinary case.
00:30:29.000 And if you follow the law, this won't happen to you.
00:30:32.000 Andrew.
00:30:33.000 Yeah, I mean, we all know that that's, you know, now that the Pandora's box has been opened, you can't deny your lying eyes, right?
00:30:40.000 It's like we've seen what these people are willing to do for politics.
00:30:46.000 And to Kevin's point, I mean, Kevin O'Leary, he said it was already a loser state. 0.96
00:30:51.000 New York's already a loser state. 0.94
00:30:53.000 They are getting trounced. 0.73
00:30:55.000 And 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.
00:31:02.000 They're all moving to Florida.
00:31:04.000 Like a lot of people, and they're not just right-wingers.
00:31:07.000 These are just good businessmen that are looking for low taxes and favorable regulatory environment and the rule of law.
00:31:14.000 And they're all going to Florida and other states, North Carolina, Texas, massive influx across red states.
00:31:20.000 And again, hopefully they're going to FAFO, right?
00:31:25.000 And they will correct course.
00:31:27.000 But I don't know what needs to change in New York for that to take place.
00:31:32.000 And it is a growing trend of these blue states.
00:31:35.000 And you see this, by the way, other cities are next.
00:31:38.000 Denver has already collapsed and will soon be one of the laughing stocks.
00:31:42.000 Nashville is well on its way for all the Tennessee Patriots out there.
00:31:46.000 Nashville is showing some very, very dangerous signs of collapse.
00:31:49.000 Atlanta 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. 0.98
00:32:01.000 Now, 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.
00:32:13.000 It was a great clip.
00:32:14.000 It was a great clip.
00:32:15.000 I wish we had it.
00:32:16.000 I didn't know you were going to pull it up.
00:32:17.000 But 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.
00:32:31.000 But, 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?
00:32:44.000 So you can go and steal a bunch of stuff in New York.
00:32:48.000 You can beat up some police officers if you're an illegal.
00:32:51.000 And we haven't really hit this story, I think, enough.
00:32:53.000 But Eric Adams is now piloting a program where he might give illegals debit cards with $10,000 in free money.
00:33:01.000 And by the way, this great New York Post reporter has highlighted this story, and it's just remarkable.
00:33:09.000 Her name's Nicole Jalinas.
00:33:10.000 I want to give her credit for that.
00:33:12.000 You know, it's being reported in the media as a $53 million program.
00:33:16.000 And notice, and she makes this point: notice that Eric Adams is not correcting the record because it's getting a lot of bad press.
00:33:21.000 You'd think he'd come out and correct the record.
00:33:23.000 Well, why is he not correcting the record?
00:33:25.000 Because $53 million is just what the company that has been contracted to do this program is getting.
00:33:33.000 That's what they're getting paid.
00:33:35.000 $53 million.
00:33:37.000 It could actually end up being a bottomless pit in the billions, the way that this contract is written.
00:33:43.000 So, as many illegals need it, they're going to keep handing out cash cards.
00:33:46.000 Now, 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.
00:33:57.000 But who knows?
00:33:58.000 Sanctuary 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.
00:34:09.000 Growing up, San Francisco and New York, two of the great American cities, they are now laughing stocks.
00:34:14.000 They are now, it's now the agreed consensus of anyone that looks at it fairly and analytically.
00:34:19.000 Do not invest, do not spend money, get out of San Francisco and New York.
00:34:24.000 And trucker boycotts.
00:34:25.000 That's right.
00:34:26.000 That's right.
00:34:27.000 Yeah.
