00:01:40.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:49.000That's why we are here, brought to you by Andrew And Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage for personalized loan services you can count on.
00:01:57.000Go to Andrewandtodd.com, the Wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.
00:02:40.000They took over and captured our core industries and our culture shaping organizations.
00:02:47.000They were unbelievably successful, as we as conservatives basically did nothing.
00:02:53.000Through the 70s and through the 80s and through the 90s, conservatives thought that they were a fringe academic movement that you know, that's kind of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dorn, but they're never actually going to get real power.
00:03:07.000For over 40 years the left Was able to infiltrate every single corner, capture every place that was able to make decisions that mattered.
00:03:20.000First, of course, academia, then media, parts of corporate life, the activist base, the governments, the civil service.
00:03:28.000And we realized that this is one of the reasons why our country became less free, why we were signing bad trade deals, why our immigration policy was so backwards, why we were seeing our liberties and our freedoms continually erode as we were engaging in a mass capitulation on almost every single issue to the left.
00:03:49.000Now, mind you, all of this was happening, and conservatives kind of shrugged it off.
00:03:55.000In the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and early 2000s, the left was getting away with highway robbery.
00:04:04.000And most conservatives thought it was no big deal.
00:04:06.000In fact, anyone that dared mention it was called a conspiracy theorist like Pat Buchanan in the early 1990s.
00:04:12.000I go, what do you mean the left is taking over things?
00:04:37.000Slowly, all of a sudden, on the center right in America, there was a realization on how the enemy had penetrated every single vertical of society.
00:04:49.000For the last 40 years, all of a sudden, we did nothing, but around 2008, when Obama was elected, there was more and more chatter and conversation, articles, op-eds, speakers, movies like Dinesh D'Souza that would highlight, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a second.
00:05:09.000We are in a much weaker position than we would realize.
00:05:14.000New voices and theories started to emerge.
00:05:16.000I got my political start at this moment, where all of a sudden people would dive deeper and ask questions about who is Saul Linsky?
00:05:24.000Who is Jacques Derrida, Michelle Foucault?
00:05:29.000And theories started to emerge exposing the left for their multi-generational shadow campaign.
00:05:37.000However, when conservatives started to speak up against this and have any courage to expose the left for the machine that was basically destroying the country from within, the left immediately stood up a professionalized name-calling operation.
00:05:57.000In 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, as there was more and more energy in the conservative base, as it became more mainstream to say, wait a second, they've been doing this for a long period of time.
00:06:11.000They're damaging our country intentionally.
00:06:14.000The left responded because they said, hey, they're onto us.
00:06:26.000They were able to control us for quite some time by just uttering a single word, albeit false, baseless, without any evidence.
00:06:38.000But by calling people bad names, they were able to make us all kind of perpetually nervous that we were going to step on or trip a cultural landmine.
00:06:52.000You could see this in conservative circles in 2014, 15, and 16.
00:06:57.000And yes, even when Donald Trump was on the scene, this sort of belief was still predominant, such as, well, this might come across as racist.
00:07:06.000This might come across as insensitive to this sort of minority group, walking on eggshells very slowly and carefully.
00:07:15.000Because the left, they knew that we were starting to get onto them.
00:07:18.000We knew that we were starting to realize the damage that they were doing.
00:07:21.000So they responded hyper-aggressively, metaphorically carpet-bombing our culture, anyone that dared to be successful, calling them a racist misogynist, a homophobe, or trying to destroy their character.
00:07:36.000We saw lives that were completely destroyed and wrecked.
00:07:40.000Congressional staffers that had old tweets resurrected and their lives destroyed.
00:07:44.000Producers for Tucker Carlson, where they went into their history and said, that person's a racist and you shouldn't take them seriously.
00:07:53.000It was a campaign of accusations, baseless.
00:07:58.000Trying to judge people based on a past that they might not be that same person, taking things out of context.
00:08:06.000So the left realized that the more careers they could upend, the more scalps that they could show, the more show trials that they could enact, the more reputations they could shred, the more they could control us.
00:08:20.000The more that we would kind of sue for peace, the more that we would come to the table to say, hey, hey, hey, hold on, okay.
00:08:26.000I know you might call me a racist misogynist, a bigot, a homophobe.
00:08:29.000Write a bad story about me, The Washington Post or the New York Times, but come on, like, let's.
00:08:39.000The machine that they created was able to, with almost a wave of a wand, get their wishes from conservatives just based on being called the wrong name.
00:08:56.000Now, this name-calling and widespread paralysis, it worked for years.
00:09:02.000In fact, I was under that spell for years.
00:09:06.000There would always be this kind of liberal tendency amongst some conservative circles of, well, how's the media going to think about this?
00:09:13.000Or how are we going to win over some reporter?
00:09:16.000Or how are we going to kind of come to some common ground?
00:09:19.000We were constantly under this false paradigm that if we just kind of said one virtue signaling thing, or all of a sudden, the left or the media would believe, hey, okay, they're not racist and we'll let off and we will treat them fairly.
00:09:37.000It controlled the center right almost with a magical spell.
00:09:44.000They were able to say a couple words and people kind of said, well, that's not that.
00:10:45.000It's hard to determine the date, but we started to shed the power that they had over us.
00:10:52.000And this spell that they were able to control us from fighting back for many years or how to overcompensate or come to compromise, which is really capitulation, all of a sudden started to fade.
00:11:02.000And now we are entering the final phase.
00:11:07.000Big tech is monitoring, censoring, mining, and selling your online information.
00:11:14.000100% U.S. programmed, owned, and operated, SquadPod is a convenient, all-in-one application supporting your private connection with others of your choice.

00:11:33.000The SquadPod application is encrypted, protecting your communications and content without annoying advertisements.
00:11:39.000They do not censor, mine, profile, or sell your information.
00:11:43.000I have gotten to know the SquadPod team quite well, and they are true patriots with a mission of dedicating themselves to your privacy, safety, and freedom of speech.

00:11:58.000Take back control of your privacy by visiting squadpod.com/slash Charlie.
00:12:32.000And now, almost when you get called these names by the Washington Post or by New York Times, it's almost now being worn as a badge of honor.
00:12:41.000We, as conservatives, have now shed their sway over us.
00:12:59.000That is a totally different tone, by the way, than what we saw four or five years ago.
00:13:04.000Four or five years ago, it was, well, I want to have a good career and get an internship, and I'm going to try to convince my liberal friends I'm actually not a racist.
00:13:12.000Now we realize that entire kind of experiment is totally a waste of time.
00:13:17.000They're going to call you that no matter what.
00:14:44.000Because the left, the media, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Huffington Post, they are rapidly realizing that their go-to attacks against conservatives don't work anymore.
00:14:58.000They are now realizing: wait a second, we can't destroy careers like we used to.
00:15:39.000They now know that the name-calling thing is not going to get them anywhere.
00:15:43.000And so now they are going to rely on pure deplatforming, banning, and yes, criminal and civil force.
00:15:52.000This final phase, which will be the rockiest, the most turbulent, the final that we have to go through until we achieve victory against these people, is very clear.
00:16:03.000They're going to use every piece of power that they have been able to get at their disposal over the last 40 years.
00:16:13.000You know, Roger Stone and Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn, and they did it in little corners.
00:16:18.000But they know that once you engage in this, a bad precedent is set, and that we can also use equal and opposite reaction power against them.
00:16:28.000They don't want this, but they have no choice left because we have been awakened and now we have been empowered and we have been strengthened to the extent where all of their little tricks, their rules of the game, no longer apply to us.
00:17:55.000You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
00:17:57.000They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
00:18:05.000So here's the deal: if you're struggling with back pain, neck pain, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted, only $19.95.
00:18:36.000The final phase is the desperation of the left realizing that they control, yes, the institutions, but they do not control the people.
00:18:46.000That the people are defecting from them in record numbers, that their games and their cutting of corners and their cheating will no longer be honored, and them realizing that their ability to control us, their magical spell, has faded.
00:19:03.000You see this as grassroots activists and candidates running for office, they just kind of shrug off attacks.
00:19:08.000This is happening right now in Arizona, where Blake Masters is being called a racist by the media.
00:19:14.000And he's like, that's not what I said.
00:19:16.000I'm not a, you know, I'm not a racist.
00:19:20.000Other Republican candidates are trying to attack Blake Masters here in Arizona by calling him a racist.
00:19:27.000And that is being super rejected by the conservative base.
00:19:32.000Where the conservative base is seeing other candidates attack Blake Masters here in Arizona.
00:19:38.000And they're like, no, actually, don't act like a leftist.
00:19:40.000He's not a racist because he shared some Facebook article 12 years ago that had 25,000 words that you cherry pick one part of it and he didn't necessarily endorse it.
00:19:50.000Like, actually, that's a scum-like tactic.
00:20:26.000And yet, on the other side, they're the ones that built entire political movements around it.
00:20:31.000And this kind of realization of how disingenuous, dishonest, and power-hungry the left is has empowered us, but they are now going to respond with pure force.
00:20:43.000They're going to respond by only intensifying what we've already seen little whispers of: raiding James O'Keefe's apartment, going after Trump allies and Trump donors, arresting Peter Navarro at an airport.
00:21:00.000We have Peter Navarro coming on the program, I think, in the third hour.
00:21:08.000They're only going to intensify this because they can no longer control us by name-calling.
00:21:13.000So they're going to attempt to control us by saying, if you think the wrong thing and say the wrong thing and associate with the wrong person, you could end up in handcuffs.
00:21:22.000If it sounds Soviet, you're exactly right.
00:21:26.000All they have left is bare knuckle tactics of pure force, kicking you off the social media.
00:21:34.000Because the way they used to control us by kind of the public mockery trial of tarring and feathering you and embarrassing you doesn't work.
00:21:45.000They called parents domestic terrorists.
00:21:48.000So now they have to criminally go after parents that show up at school board meetings.
00:21:52.000You see the names and the accusations.
00:21:55.000I think that part of it is that post-January 6th, when they called half the country domestic terrorists, because a bunch, a couple of lunatics decided to get violent and some other people made some bad judgment to go take selfies in the Capitol Rotunda and then they become political prisoners.
00:22:14.000I think most Americans take a step back and they say, wait a second, calling half the country domestic terrorists and trying to create a new Patriot Act and a political apparatus while I can't afford gas and my kids are being indoctrinated and our borders are wide open and our economy is going in the gutter.
00:22:28.000Somehow, I don't think that's the most important thing.
00:22:31.000So how does this connect to now current events?
00:22:35.000Well, understand that the intent of the January 6th Committee is going to try to create a show trial, which is literally what's happening on Thursday, by the way, to try to have a public prime time spectacle to try and get as many people in handcuffs as possible to try to stop our movement.
00:23:00.000Now, they could maybe pull off some of this if the economy wasn't totally in the gutter because people just believe what is on television, but they only believe what's on television if their wallet is just not getting like there's not like a drive-by shooting for their wallet every other day.
00:23:45.000They're going to go all in with a show trial on Thursday evening, trying to tell everyone what they learned through the January 6th Committee.
00:23:55.000Even though leaks are showing, according to advisors of January 6th Committee, there is no conspiracy.
00:24:27.000They're unable to make sound decisions.
00:24:30.000I want you to imagine an entire political movement that controls our political bureaucracies, our media, our major corporations, our schools that will all simultaneously be in mass desperation mode.
00:24:48.000Now, the mass desperation will kind of be funny and silly from some people in society.
00:24:56.000Desperation is not funny or silly when you control the Department of Justice.
00:25:16.000What I am trying to tell you to get ready to anticipate is that as we enter this final phase, if we get through this final phase and their brute force does not break our will, which I do not believe it will, if their brute force does not get us to sue for peace, which I do not believe we will, if their brute force and their criminal force does not get us to wave the white flag, then they will have nothing left.
00:25:42.000They've tried the character assassinations.
00:25:47.000They've tried taking us off every single social media site.
00:25:52.000The closest analogy I could give is like high school bullies.
00:25:55.000First, the bully, a bully always starts bullying, usually and typically not through physical force, but just through kind of, you could say just vocal intimidation, verbal intimidation, I should say.
00:26:16.000And then if it necessary, you try to stand up to that bully or you try to say something in return, they might try physical confrontation against you, push you down.
00:26:27.000Now, the only way to fight a bully, and again, this is true psychologically, if you look at any sort of Data behind it.
00:26:36.000It's true psychologically where if you stand up to the thing that you fear the most, if you stand up to the thing that is controlling you and you look that thing in the eye, that's actually how you get over that thing.
00:26:47.000It's called immersion in psychological data.
00:26:51.000And that's exactly what is happening with the entire conservative movement at every corner.
00:26:56.000And Rush Limbaugh for years tried to get the conservative movement to do this.
00:27:00.000And he was largely not taken seriously by most Republicans.
00:27:04.000Not to say that conservative grassroots totally ignored him, but Rush was always telling us: don't take the bait.
00:27:35.000We were not prepared to win in the 1990s.
00:27:38.000We were not prepared to win in the 2000s.
00:27:40.000We were not prepared to win when we admit Romney as our nominee.
00:27:43.000But finally, in a very interesting way, the true Trump legacy actually has come a year and a half, two years after he's left the office as we've dealt with more of the left's name calling and more of their brute force.
00:27:56.000It's kind of the spirit of we're going to hold the line.
00:27:58.000You could take everything you possibly can from me.
00:28:21.000I don't know how long it's going to be.
00:28:22.000What I'm saying is they're going to launch every missile they have.
00:28:26.000You think they're going to give up their 45 to 50 year gains overnight?
00:28:30.000You think all of a sudden they're going to give up the gains they have with the FBI and the CIA, Department of Justice, Microsoft and Google and Goldman Sachs and the bureaucracies from Stanford to Harvard?
00:28:40.000You think they're just going to give up immediately?
00:28:56.000For years, the left was patient, they were deliberate, and now they are desperate and they are clinging on to anything to try to get back to power and to silence us.
00:30:52.000The Bloomberg Politics article says, far from being punished by voters, some candidates who attended the January 6th rally and disputed the presidential outcome are winning Republican primaries.
00:31:02.000Julian Zalazer, a Princeton University presidential historian, said, the fact that this isn't a game-changing moment is pretty remarkable.
00:31:25.000Polls show the Republican Party's on track to make big gains in the midterm elections, despite fielding Canada to embrace the false narrative of election fraud.
00:31:40.000And they said, well, can we get a quote from you?
00:31:42.000Well, my quote in 2,000 Mules will speak for myself.
00:31:44.000So you can use my quote in 2000 Mules.
00:31:47.000Much of that is being driven by highest inflation in 40 years, sowing gas prices and Biden's slumping approval ratings.
00:31:54.000Yeah, I will say that this new right, this final phase that doesn't care what they call us, it is in part because of the economic misery people are living through.
00:32:03.000Like people don't want to be lectured by some academic from Princeton about the historical significance of systemic race.
00:32:22.000It's the tension between the academic and the people that stare at clouds all day long and ideas that are never going to be enacted and people that are actually in the weeds, the grassroots, the muscular economy.
00:32:32.000And the Democrats have gone all in on the esoteric.
00:32:36.000They've gone all in on the ideological.
00:32:38.000They've gone all in on the far off, distant, and philosophical.
00:32:41.000And Republicans, not because of anything brilliant that we've done as a party, but thanks to good candidates, we're actually focusing on the material, the real, the temporal, the immediate, which is, believe it or not, people actually care much more about whether or not they have to go into debt to drive their kid to school than whether or not queer theory is being taught in colleges across America.
00:33:01.000Like not exactly an immediate concern.
00:33:04.000And I think people are starting to get super agitated and empowered and ready to fight back as the kind of insistence from the national media narrative is they want you to continue to focus on these issues.
00:33:19.000I mean, Oregon nonprofits ask for $100 million federal investment to address white supremacy.
00:33:31.000And so we're at this moment in time where we've gone through all these different phases and this chapter that we are in, they're going to deploy everything they possibly can.
00:33:43.000And yes, that means shenanigans when it comes to the voting in November.
00:33:47.000They're going to try to continue to have mass mail and voting.
00:33:50.000They're going to try to lock us down and do all those things.
00:33:56.000But if we get through this and we break through it, which I believe we will, the left will become a completely irrelevant political force in our country.
00:34:04.000We still have to recapture institutions and build our own and deal with the federal bureaucracy, all those different things.
00:34:10.000But all of their kind of soft power is gone.
00:34:15.000Op-eds, tweets, name-calling, billboard campaigns, threats of cancellation.
00:34:55.000The hope is that they will have nothing left and we defeat this and we turn the corner on this.
00:35:01.000We will experience a constitutional reset, a conservative renaissance, a moment of victory that we have not seen in my lifetime or generations prior.
