00:00:27.000 Hey, everybody, we have our eyes on the symposium in South Dakota brought to you by Mike Lindell.
00:00:32.000 We also talk about some verifiable proof of how the election was interfered with, as well as this question, are things getting better?
00:00:40.000 Is our diet getting better?
00:00:42.000 Is our way of life getting better?
00:00:43.000 And if not, why?
00:00:45.000 And why aren't our leaders talking about it?
00:00:47.000 We also explore this idea of why is the Republican Party afraid to talk about voter integrity?
00:00:53.000 Why is the Republican Party so terrified to have a conversation, as they always say, about elections?
00:01:02.000 Why is that?

00:01:21.000 Important episode.
00:01:22.000 Buckle up, everybody, here.
00:01:23.000 We go.
00:01:24.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:01:26.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:01:28.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:31.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:35.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:36.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:37.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:45.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:54.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:56.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?
00:01:58.000 A lot.
00:01:59.000 Truth is, I know millions of people.
00:02:01.000 In fact, some people say over 100 million people are struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
00:02:07.000 Now, Pete and Seth Talbot, they are on a mission.
00:02:09.000 You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
00:02:11.000 They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
00:02:17.000 And I believe they'll do it.
00:02:19.000 So here's the deal.
00:02:19.000 Go to relieffactor.com.
00:02:21.000 That's relief factor.com or call 800-500-8384.
00:02:24.000 People ask me, tell me why Relief Factor is so successful in lowering or eliminating pain.
00:02:29.000 I'm often asked that question.
00:02:31.000 So maybe you want to be able to do cartwheels or be able to do backflips like producer Andrew.
00:02:35.000 Maybe you want to be able to run a marathon, swim under seas, swim underwater, go scuba diving, jump out of an airplane, but maybe it's your knee pain, back pain, joint pain, whatever pain it might be.
00:02:45.000 Maybe Relief Factor is for you.

00:02:50.000 Check it out, relieffactor.com.
00:02:55.000 It's important to realize that not all time, not all times are made the same.
00:03:01.000 Not every moment in history is as consequential as the year before.
00:03:06.000 For example, in the 1950s, there was plenty of important decisions being made, but it was hardly as consequential as the early 1940s.
00:03:15.000 1917 or 1916 is far more important than something that happened in the 1890s.
00:03:21.000 Not to say that the people were less important, but sometimes history, the way history works, the way we should view history, not like a German historicist, but instead through a fair reading of history, there are these turning points, no pun intended, there are these moments where your actions matter more than they would have 20 years ago.
00:03:41.000 And we are living through one of those moments.
00:03:43.000 You're living through one of those moments, whether you like it or not.
00:03:46.000 And I hear people complain all the time.
00:03:47.000 They say, Charlie, I just want things to go back the way they were.
00:03:50.000 It's not going to happen.
00:03:52.000 It's not.
00:03:53.000 So maybe you could just self-medicate yourself into the horizon and hope it gets better, or you could stand and fight and build a future that's meaningful for your children and grandchildren.
00:04:03.000 Not all time is created equal.
00:04:05.000 I wish it was.
00:04:07.000 We know this through the Bible.
00:04:08.000 We know that certain events in history of the Bible were far more important than others.
00:04:11.000 We know that there were hundreds of years of silence of the Lord not speaking.
00:04:18.000 And right now, you're living through one of those times.
00:04:20.000 We are not living through a peace and prosperity cycle right now.
00:04:23.000 I grew up in one of those cycles.
00:04:25.000 What makes me so motivated to continue to fight, and our team is as 27 years old, soon to be 28, I remember a totally different America.
00:04:37.000 We talked about this with Tucker Carlson on our podcast, which I encourage all of you guys to go back and listen to.
00:04:42.000 It's one of the best podcasts we've ever done.
00:04:44.000 And Tucker was brilliant and wise.
00:04:48.000 He said, I want to go back to 1985 America.
00:04:51.000 I say, Tucker, I want to go back to 2005 America.
00:04:57.000 And it seems as if as time goes on, it actually gets worse, which is totally different than the promise of the progressives.
00:05:05.000 The progressives say things are going to get better.
00:05:10.000 The more you allow us to control your life, the more power you give to the corporate class. 0.78
00:05:15.000 Now, there have been plenty of innovations over the last 15 years that I think probably have helped humanity, mostly medical innovations.
00:05:26.000 But so a great example of this, kind of as a sidebar, I got a lot I want to get into, is people say, well, Charlie, no one is starving, that we have more food everywhere.
00:05:36.000 This is a common argument made by the corporate defenders, that, Charlie, because of free markets, international trade, we have food for everyone.
00:05:44.000 There is some truth to that.
00:05:46.000 I agree.
00:05:46.000 That starvation is not an existential threat.
00:05:50.000 But what about the inverse of that?
00:05:53.000 According to CNN, ultra-processed foods now account for two-thirds of kids' and teens' diets.
00:05:59.000 Children and teenagers in the United States now get more than two-thirds of their calories from ultra-processed foods.
00:06:04.000 An analysis of almost two decades' worth of data has found.
00:06:08.000 Now, there's two reasons for this.
00:06:10.000 Number one is financial.
00:06:11.000 It's too expensive to go buy good food.
00:06:13.000 I sympathize with that.
00:06:15.000 The second, though, is that parents don't care.
00:06:17.000 I've seen this firsthand.
00:06:19.000 Thankfully, my parents, they took nutrition very seriously.
00:06:24.000 They took what I ate to be incredibly important.
00:06:31.000 Organic food, non-processed food.
00:06:36.000 Ultra-processed foods, such as frozen pizza, microwave meals, packaged snacks, and desserts accounted for 67% of all calories consumed in 2018, up from 61% in 1999.
00:06:48.000 How are things getting better exactly?
00:06:49.000 Heart disease is up.
00:06:51.000 Neuroticism is up.
00:06:53.000 Mental health issues are up.
00:06:55.000 No, I'm not going to.
00:06:56.000 There's been some medical innovations.
00:06:58.000 Praise God.
00:07:00.000 That are better.
00:07:01.000 Of course.
00:07:02.000 Our ability to detect tumors, our ability to treat Alzheimer's, those things have objectively improved over the last decade.
00:07:11.000 But to say that in my lifetime, humanity has gotten infinitely better, that's not true.
00:07:19.000 You know, life expectancy is also going down.
00:07:22.000 So life expectancy is going down.
00:07:24.000 Obesity is going up.
00:07:26.000 Poverty is going up.
00:07:28.000 Wealth inequality is going up.
00:07:29.000 Homelessness is going up.
00:07:31.000 Mental health issues are going up.
00:07:33.000 Suicide is going up.
00:07:34.000 Violent crime is going up.
00:07:36.000 What exactly is progressive about the moment we're living in?
00:07:40.000 Just give us more power.
00:07:42.000 Perfection is around the corner.
00:07:44.000 And the reason I say this is not to be doom and gloom.
00:07:46.000 We still live in the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:07:49.000 We have so much opportunity around us.
00:07:52.000 We should be optimistic and cheerful in the way that we approach all these things.
00:07:56.000 But don't fall for the lie.
00:07:58.000 Don't accept the premise.
00:08:00.000 Don't say that all of a sudden our hyper-commercialized society of the corporate class of declining church attendance and a kind of soulless government that we live under is somehow by definition better because time marches on.
00:08:12.000 That's not true.
00:08:15.000 And this is the brilliance of Donald Trump's marketing.
00:08:18.000 He said, you know what? Make America great again.
00:08:20.000 I actually like how things used to be.
00:08:22.000 They said, he's a nostalgist.
00:08:25.000 He's engaging in, what do they used to say?
00:08:28.000 They used to say he was engaging in this manipulative nostalgia.
00:08:33.000 Yeah, nostalgia, I should say, nostalgia.
00:08:35.000 That's the right way to pronounce it.
00:08:37.000 Try to say, manipulative nostalgia is hard to say if you don't have a break between the two words.
00:08:42.000 He wants to harken back to a time of racism and bigotry.
00:08:45.000 That's not true.
00:08:47.000 He missed an America where everyone wasn't walking around with a supercomputer in their right-hand pocket, where you weren't anxious all the time that you were about to get a text or a tweet, an email that could uproot your entire day.
00:08:59.000 I miss that America.
00:09:01.000 Now, not to say that we have to be Luddites about it.
00:09:04.000 There's actually more of a story around the Luddites than I think they get credit for.
00:09:07.000 We'll do a podcast that on a different time.
00:09:09.000 We have to tear down the whole country around us.
00:09:12.000 Every technological innovation is bad there just because of technology.
00:09:16.000 But we should be objective about this.
00:09:18.000 We should be fair.
00:09:19.000 We should be practical.
00:09:19.000 We should be prudent.
00:09:21.000 What really matters?
00:09:22.000 Are we having more children or less children?
00:09:25.000 Oh, we're having less children.
00:09:26.000 That's not good.
00:09:28.000 Are durable goods more affordable and accessible to young families or less accessible?
00:09:34.000 Oh, wow.
00:09:34.000 Inflation's going up.
00:09:35.000 That's not good.
00:09:37.000 In fact, we had a really good.
00:09:40.000 I'm trying to find this inflation metric.
00:09:43.000 Somebody sent me this this morning.
00:09:45.000 I'll find it.
00:09:46.000 It's really good.
00:09:47.000 I know where it is.
00:09:48.000 I'll find it in a second.
00:09:50.000 And so, as we look at ourselves through history, this moment, 2021, are we trying to progress to something?
00:10:02.000 Or should we all of a sudden say, let's take a time out?
00:10:04.000 Maybe we should restore a couple things.
00:10:07.000 And I want all of you to listen carefully to the language that some of your leaders use.
00:10:14.000 If they're always talking about tomorrow is going to be a future that will limit suffering and limit pain, you should be really skeptical of those types of leaders.
00:10:27.000 If they're unafraid to talk about things that objectively matter, like local schooling, passing down of values, patriotic education, safer streets, having lots of children, church attendance going up, the kind of moral decline being reversed, then what sort of progress are we going to?
00:10:48.000 Are we now going to have progress where we have the best technology ever and no soul, very little children, and tons of crime?
00:10:54.000 That doesn't sound like a good future.
00:10:58.000 And the reason why this has happened is because we really have a uniparty in Washington, D.C.
00:11:04.000 We have one party.
00:11:06.000 One party that thinks that progress should come through the corporate class, Republicans, and another party thinks that progress should come through the government and state-run class.
00:11:16.000 And guess what?
00:11:16.000 They mainly agree.
00:11:17.000 That's why the infrastructure package passed.
00:11:20.000 When in reality, they should be saying, hold on a second.
00:11:22.000 Maybe we don't want the progress you're selling.
00:11:24.000 Maybe we don't want young boys to be told they're girls.
00:11:28.000 We don't like that.
00:11:30.000 Maybe we don't want the kind of drag queen story hour stuff, which by the way, I'm actually going to talk about it because that went viral last night.
00:11:38.000 Find out, Charlie, you're going viral on Twitter.
00:11:40.000 It really feels the same as when I'm not going viral.
00:11:44.000 Where I said that, and I'm going to repeat it for emphasis.
00:11:46.000 The founding fathers would mobilize the Minutemen if they saw Drag Queen Story Hour happening in their local library. 0.96
00:11:53.000 People lost their mind.
00:11:55.000 Our leaders need to have practical judgment and wisdom to say that some things should not change and some things should stay the same.
00:12:02.000 The cult of progress will destroy beautiful and meaningful things.
00:12:09.000 Republicans want to do it through the corporate class.
00:12:11.000 Democrats want to do it through the state.
00:12:14.000 That's why they agreed on the infrastructure bill.
00:12:17.000 And they abandoned you that care about your children, your grandchildren, your church, and your local businesses.
00:12:26.000 A lot of people ask me, Charlie, how do you know so much about American history?
00:12:30.000 The answer is not from school.
00:12:32.000 As many of you know, I did not go to formal college, which I didn't go to college at all.
00:12:37.000 So my education has been a process.
00:12:41.000 I've always been committed to learning and diving deep into ideas.
00:12:45.000 And one source of truth and knowledge has been the greatest partner in that pursuit of learning.
00:12:53.000 And that is Hillsdale College.
00:12:56.000 American History and Civics Education.
00:12:59.000 They're quite honestly at a turning point.
00:13:01.000 And the Hillsdale 1776 curriculum, they are teaching the truth.
00:13:07.000 And they have a downloadable curriculum for you and your children for free at charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:13:16.000 That's Charlie, C-H-A-R-L-I-E-F-O-R Hillsdale.com.

00:13:48.000 I have passed the course in Constitution 101, the intro to the Constitution.
00:13:54.000 I'm about to finish the Introduction to Western Philosophy.
00:13:58.000 I finished the Introduction to Aristotle, How to Live a Good Life.
00:14:01.000 And they have a new one called The Great American Story that I'm taking, and it's phenomenal.
00:14:06.000 If you say, Charlie, how do I get my kids to know history?
00:14:08.000 Literally pay them to take these courses.

00:15:36.000 Phenomenal partners.
00:15:37.000 Please check it out right now.
00:15:41.000 Senate Republicans said, well, we had to pass the infrastructure bill because we didn't win enough seats.
00:15:45.000 Well, then why don't you focus on what happened in Georgia for the reason why Raphael Warnock and the teenager John Ossif are senators?
00:15:54.000 Now, they don't want to talk about that.
00:15:57.000 They don't want to talk about the fact that there is now new evidence to show and continuing evidence to show from justthenews.com that the Georgia ballots rejected by machines were later altered by election workers to count.
00:16:15.000 Records obtained by Just the News provide an unprecedented glimpse into human adjudication of thousands of ballots, where marks for candidates like Trump were sometimes removed so ballots could count for Biden.
00:16:31.000 I also want to say before I go into this that we're monitoring the Mike Lindell cyber symposium and we'll stream the entire thing on our Rumble channel today and tomorrow.
00:16:40.000 Justthenews.com, a day after the November election, as Donald Trump and other Republican candidates clung to evaporating leads in Georgia, vote counters in Atlanta were confronted by a paper ballot known by its anonymizing number, 5150-23218.
00:16:55.000 A Dominion voting machine had rejected the ballot on election night because the voter had filled in boxes for both Trump and his Democratic opponent Joe Biden, an error known as an overvote.
00:17:07.000 Now, the image of the ballot obtained by Just the News shows the voter messily scribbled a large blob.
00:17:13.000 At 6:10 on November 4th, 24 hours at the ballot was first scanned and rejected by Machine 5150.
00:17:20.000 A panel of humans decided the vote should be rewarded to Biden.
00:17:26.000 Huh.
00:17:28.000 You can see the ballot on justthenews.com.
00:17:31.000 Scores of additional ballots that same day had checks manually removed next to Trump's name.
00:17:38.000 So this is the arcane process known as adjudication, where human judgment is substituted for machine scanning in cases where votes incorrectly filled out a paper ballot.
00:17:51.000 Election officials and official observers have dealt with this for years.
00:17:55.000 But in 2020, adjudication played a massive role.
00:17:58.000 In all, more than 5,000 of the 148,000 absentee ballot casts, or 3% of them, required some sort of human intervention.
00:18:07.000 Now, why does that matter?
00:18:09.000 Those votes, just a couple thousand of them, could have been the difference between David Perdue getting a runoff and not getting a runoff.
00:18:16.000 Therefore, us controlling the United States Senate or not controlling the United States Senate.
00:18:22.000 So why won't Republicans talk about what's happening in Georgia?
00:18:25.000 Because they're afraid.
00:18:27.000 They're afraid that a serious conversation around voter fraud and voter integrity is going to lead them into a direction that they don't like.
00:18:38.000 You see, they would much rather manage the decline of the country than find out what happened in the 2020 election.
00:18:46.000 Let's play Cut 59.
00:18:47.000 David Cross with Voter GA shows the double counting of the votes that's happened in Georgia so amazingly that you wouldn't have this whole conversation with the Senate if our Republican senators actually cared about getting to the bottom of what happened in these states.
00:19:05.000 But as typical, these Republicans, many of them, obviously not Rand Paul or Ted Cruz or Josh Hawley or Mike Lee, they've been great, but almost all of them have decided voter integrity does not matter.
00:19:17.000 How we elect leaders does not matter.
00:19:19.000 All that matters is my country club membership to the United States Senate.
00:19:23.000 Play Cut 59.
00:19:25.000 What I'm going to show you here is two ballots side by side.
00:19:31.000 One of them is marked for Jason Shaw and it's got a little spookle mark next to it.
00:19:34.000 You can see it's got the notable mark on the second one.
00:19:38.000 And the ballot image is stored up here on the top left.
00:19:43.000 So this one over here is scanner 5162.
00:19:47.000 That's scanner number three.
00:19:49.000 Facts number 235, image number 19.
00:19:54.000 And that matches 234, image 59.
00:19:58.000 So you have the same ballot counted twice in the images and counted in the audit board.
00:20:07.000 How that's possible, I don't know.
00:20:11.000 Same ballot counted twice in the images.
00:20:16.000 So why are we negotiating with a regime that very well might have assumed power through a process that was not legal?
00:20:26.000 Why are we honoring that?
00:20:30.000 Did you get hit with a big tax bill you weren't expecting?
00:20:33.000 With rates being very low and home equity being high, perfect time to refinance.
00:20:37.000 Look, we're all about refinancing all this.
00:20:38.000 Here's the long and short of it.
00:20:40.000 You should not be giving business to bad companies.
00:20:43.000 So if you're using Goldman Sachs, bad company.
00:20:46.000 Wells Fargo, bad company.
00:20:48.000 JPMorgan, bad company.
00:20:50.000 All these companies, they love BLM.
00:20:53.000 They hate America.
00:20:54.000 And quite honestly, if you're listening to this program, they hate you.
00:20:58.000 And so if you want to take out a loan, here's what I'm going to tell you what to do.
00:21:01.000 Maybe you're a new family.
00:21:03.000 You're like, I want to buy a house and it's my dream house and I want to take out a loan.
00:21:07.000 The good news is that there are partners called Andrew and Todd, Andrew Del Rey and Todd Avakian, andrewandTodd.com.
00:21:14.000 Just save that in your notes, by the way.
00:21:15.000 Just save it in the notes of your phone because you might need it.
00:21:18.000 Like, I don't need it.
00:21:19.000 My banker at Goldman Sachs is just fine, or my banker at Bank of America is just fine.
00:21:24.000 Like, okay.
00:21:25.000 Then when you go take that loan and you go sign those 95,000 pieces of paper they give you, you know what you're really signing?
00:21:32.000 You're signing contribution forms to BLM Incorporated.
00:21:36.000 That's what you're doing.
00:21:37.000 When you go take out a loan with Chase, when you go take out a loan with Wells Fargo, you might as well go give the money to Joe Biden.
00:21:46.000 So when you go to DC next and you go travel, maybe with your family, why don't you just get a cashier's check and drop it off at the White House entrance? 0.95
00:21:53.000 That's what you're doing when you bank with these woke losers at Wells Fargo. 0.69
00:21:59.000 So take out a loan with the good guys. 0.89
00:22:00.000 It's Andrew and Todd.
00:22:01.000 Look, they're just great people.
00:22:02.000 They're Christians.
00:22:03.000 They love the Lord.
00:22:04.000 They love America.
00:22:06.000 And you call them up and just say, I want to speak to Andrew and Todd.
00:22:10.000 That's all you have to say.
00:22:11.000 Charlie Kirk sent me.
00:22:12.000 And their number is 888-888-1172.
00:22:15.000 That's AndrewandTodd.com, AndrewandTodd.com, 888, 888, 1172.
00:22:21.000 You go to AndrewandTodd.com, 888, 8888 888, 1172, and say, you should make a vow to yourself.
00:22:26.000 Just make a promise to yourself.
00:22:28.000 I refuse to fund companies that hate America.
00:22:30.000 I refuse to fund companies that hate America.
00:22:33.000 And you have a choice.
00:22:34.000 If you want to take out a loan or just explore the idea of refinancing, AndrewandTodd.com called 888-888-1172.
00:22:44.000 I go out to eat with these guys.
00:22:45.000 They're terrific.
00:22:46.000 They're good people.
00:22:47.000 AndrewandTodd.com.
00:22:52.000 Sometimes you have these moments where somebody says what everybody is thinking and they're able to articulate it in a way that goes viral and calls people to action.
00:23:06.000 Steve Bannon had one of the best two-minute speeches I have seen in recent memory.
00:23:11.000 Steve Bannon spoke at this symposium in South Dakota and talked about the three most important fights that we have in front of us.
00:23:19.000 That we have the fight.
00:23:21.000 Where did this virus come from in the Wuhan lab, the 2020 election, and then also what happened on January 6th?
00:23:30.000 The way he talks about it and ties it all together, I think should be heard by every single American.
00:23:37.000 It's a little bit of a grassrootsy recording of it.
00:23:40.000 We're working to get a better video of it, but it really does deserve to be posted and reposted.
00:23:45.000 In fact, I think we should get a higher quality version of that and post it on our social media channels.
00:23:50.000 I think it was that good.
00:23:51.000 Steve Bannon lays out the terms of what's happening.
00:23:53.000 Play tape.
00:23:54.000 And if you think you've seen their toughest moves, do you think you've seen the hammer drop?
00:23:59.000 We haven't seen anything yet.
00:24:00.000 What happened in the Wuhan lab and who's responsible for it?
00:24:03.000 That virus, number one.
00:24:05.000 Number two, what happened on 3 November of 2020?
00:24:08.000 Who's responsible and who's going to be held accountable?
00:24:11.000 And the third is what happened on 1.6.
00:24:14.000 Was it a failure of intelligence as we've been processed and been told?
00:24:19.000 Or is it a failed intelligence operation against the American people?
00:24:23.000 You get to the bottom of those three things.
00:24:25.000 You find out who's responsible and you hold them accountable and you're going to get your country back.
00:24:30.000 Now, that's the shorter version.
00:24:32.000 The entire two minutes is really good about how we went into great detail about all that.
00:24:38.000 Cut 60, Mike Lindell talks about how Mesa County Colorado clerk Tina Peters was raided as she was en route to the symposium.
00:24:51.000 Pretty stunning allegation.
00:24:53.000 Play cut 60.
00:24:55.000 But they're going to come out here in a little bit and tell you what happened before why was their office raided?
00:25:03.000 It's a scary situation.
00:25:04.000 It's what everybody gets in and they're going, you know, they're doing their job.
00:25:09.000 And then all of a sudden, they take over within fear, put the fear into them.
00:25:15.000 We don't know what kind of why they did it, what they did, the ones that raided her.
00:25:22.000 So basically, this is a Secretary of State in Mesa County, Colorado, and they're willing to use political power to try to silence her or try to intimidate her, allegedly, for looking into these sorts of things.
00:25:38.000 Why is it that people are so afraid to talk about the audits?
00:25:42.000 Why are people so afraid to dive into the detail of what happened in the 2020 election?
00:25:47.000 I'm talking about both in the Republican Party and obviously the Democrat Party.
00:25:51.000 If people don't have trust in their elections, which is what's happened, then they're not going to trust the people in charge once they win the election.
00:26:04.000 Being able to successfully audit and give people the confidence that the systems we have to allocate power are legitimate and true is one of the most important things that we can do.
00:26:20.000 We're getting some more tape here, and we're going to dive into that.
00:26:23.000 I think we are closer to finding out what happened in Arizona and Georgia than ever before.
00:26:30.000 And I want to say thank you to the legislatures and to you, the activists, have not lost focus on what happened in these states and trying to demand audits.
00:26:40.000 There's phenomenal momentum in Georgia right now.
00:26:43.000 They are very, very worried about what's happened in Georgia.
00:26:47.000 And the deeper we dive into this, we recognize and realize they don't have answers to these sorts of things, that there were ballots that were altered.
00:26:57.000 Georgia ballots rejected by machines were later altered by election workers to the count, which very well could have impacted the entire Republican Senate.
00:27:04.000 Then why don't Republican senators talk about this more? 0.53
00:27:07.000 They're afraid that the Washington Post is going to write a bad article about them.
00:27:10.000 Arizona, we know from the Arizona audit, we know that there were 72,000 more mail-in ballots that were received than were sent out.
00:27:22.000 The governor of Wisconsin has now told counties to ignore subpoenas for House audits.
00:27:26.000 Same sort of thing we've been talking about here.
00:27:28.000 They don't care if you use political power.
00:27:31.000 They don't care if we use political power. 0.65
00:27:33.000 They are not threatened by us.
00:27:35.000 Far-left Wisconsin governor Tony Evers vetoed a series of ballot security initiatives in the Badger state on Tuesday.
00:27:44.000 It's from the Gateway Pundit.
00:27:45.000 Evers also told two counties to ignore subpoenas from the Republican-controlled legislature.
00:27:50.000 On Friday, Wisconsin's House Election Committee, Chairman Janelle Branchin, issued subpoenas to Brown and Milwaukee counties.
00:27:57.000 The governor just says ignore them.
00:27:59.000 Who cares about oversight?
00:28:01.000 We are in a post-constitutional moment.
00:28:03.000 You see what's happening here?
00:28:05.000 Joe Biden, Evers, Scottsdale Unified School District, San Antonio schools, Austin schools, Dallas schools, they will ignore subpoenas because they think that the public is on their side, which it isn't, but they think the media is on their side, so they'll do whatever they want.
00:28:23.000 The governor said that the two Wisconsin counties should not comply with the subpoenas to turn over ballots and voting equipment as part of an investigation led by the Republican Head of Assembly of Elections Committee.
00:28:37.000 The Arizona Attorney General, Mark Bernovich, who is also running for United States Senate, he's now open investigation correctly and thank you into why Maricopa County broke the law by not giving over the routers to the Arizona State Senate.
00:28:53.000 People need to start to go to jail.
00:28:55.000 You see, people act in a certain way when they think there's a cost associated to it.
00:29:00.000 I'll give you an example.
00:29:03.000 The people who are in charge of mask mandates on airplanes, they mean business.
00:29:09.000 Why is it that I don't disobey the mask mandates on airplanes?
00:29:13.000 Because I need to fly for what I do.
00:29:16.000 Now, if they kind of, in a lackluster way, enforce that, yeah, we don't care if you wear your mask, not a big deal, well, then I wouldn't take it very seriously.
00:29:26.000 Or if it was just kind of like, oh, you pay a $100 fine, whatever.
00:29:29.000 No, they say when you board the airplane, what do they say?
00:29:32.000 Every single one of the flight attendants, they read a script.
00:29:35.000 First of all, they wrongly say it's federal law.
00:29:37.000 It's not federal law.
00:29:38.000 It's federal regulation.
00:29:39.000 In fact, I had one flight attendant that said it right correctly.
00:29:42.000 And by the way, I have a lot of respect for flight attendants.
00:29:44.000 I think it's one of the hardest jobs in the world.
00:29:46.000 I think they're super unappreciated and underappreciated.
00:29:50.000 It's a really hard job, especially when you have to wear a cloth mask the entire day.
00:29:53.000 It's a tough job.
00:29:55.000 And no one treats you the way you should.
00:29:57.000 It's just everyone's mean and nasty and short.
00:29:58.000 It's just not right.
00:30:00.000 But these flight attendants read this.
00:30:02.000 They say, according to new regulation, you must wear a mask.
00:30:07.000 And if not, you will face penalties.
00:30:08.000 They're just the messenger.
00:30:10.000 But they know that they have to enforce this.
00:30:14.000 They are told they have to enforce this.
00:30:16.000 So that creates different behavior.
00:30:19.000 For me, oh my goodness, I better wear a mask or else I'm not going to be able to fly again.
00:30:23.000 And that would harm Turning Point USA's ability to grow, the Charlie Kirk Show's ability to do podcasting.
00:30:30.000 You have a rule, and then you have people enforcing it and people that can get on no fly list and potentially go to jail.
00:30:37.000 Rule and enforcement.
00:30:40.000 We don't do that.
00:30:42.000 We don't actually ever enforce our rules the way we should.
00:30:45.000 That's why Hunter Biden's able to sell paintings for $500,000 a pop.
00:30:51.000 That's why Google and Facebook do whatever they want.
00:30:53.000 Amazon does whatever they want. 1.00
00:30:55.000 We don't actually use the laws on the books to go after people or organizations that are violating the American way of life and especially coming after us.
00:31:05.000 We don't do that because we're too decent.
00:31:07.000 We're peace-loving people.
00:31:08.000 We hope for a better tomorrow.
00:31:10.000 Well, I really hope we can get along with these people.
00:31:13.000 So Mark Bernovich looking into Maricopa County, I hope people go to jail.
00:31:16.000 They probably won't, though, because they know how to cover their tracks and they'll get the media on their side and they'll play victim.
00:31:22.000 Scottsdale Unified School District that defies the mask mandates, that defies the mandate to not be able to mandate masks.
00:31:30.000 People should go to jail.
00:31:30.000 They won't.
00:31:33.000 The Democrats that fled the state of Texas finally were seeing some movement that they might actually go to jail.
00:31:38.000 But they'll probably get some civil penalty, some huge law firm to represent them. 1.00
00:31:42.000 How about the rioters and the looters that burned down cities last summer?
00:31:47.000 So let me get this straight.
00:31:48.000 You go and burn down Minneapolis.
00:31:51.000 Almost no one goes to jail.
00:31:53.000 But if you walk into the Capitol Rotunda after the police let you in and you go take selfies, insurrectionist.
00:32:03.000 You see what's really going on here?
00:32:05.000 Goes back to the thesis we've been talking about.
00:32:08.000 We are in a battle and a power struggle.
00:32:11.000 Our side is perfectly okay not using power.
00:32:16.000 We would rather lose than use power.
00:32:20.000 I'm not okay with that.
00:32:22.000 It's time to start using power given to us by people to start to neutralize what's happening.
00:32:28.000 The other side, they're enthusiastic about using political power.
00:32:32.000 You really think things are going to get better if we don't punch back twice as hard?
00:32:36.000 No, think about this rationally and reasonably.
00:32:38.000 Do you think that all of a sudden the left is going to take us seriously if we don't start all of a sudden enforcing the rules and regulations against them?
00:32:45.000 Of course not.
00:32:47.000 And that's why Bannon's clip would be so good, is so good.
00:32:51.000 He's calling to use power to hold these people accountable.
00:32:55.000 This is no longer a coffee shop debate.
00:32:59.000 Cut 61, Steve Bannon, elaborates on that.
00:33:02.000 Play Cut 61.
00:33:04.000 And all they want us to do is quit.
00:33:06.000 All they want us to do is say, yes, we'll get them in 2022.
00:33:08.000 We'll get them in 2024.
00:33:10.000 Let's go change some laws.
00:33:11.000 Let's change laws in Georgia. 1.00
00:33:13.000 Raise more money. 0.98
00:33:14.000 No, that's the sucker's play. 0.98
00:33:16.000 That's the great con.
00:33:17.000 And if you want to see the con, you want to see the scam, just look at the vote today in the infrastructure bill.
00:33:23.000 There is no reason a conservative should vote into that bill.
00:33:26.000 As people question his legitimacy, his political capital recedes before us.
00:33:31.000 You have the power on November 3rd.
00:33:33.000 You have the power to get to the bottom of the 16th.
00:33:36.000 You have the power to get to the bottom of the Wuhan lab where we've changed all what the world thought about it, right? 0.86
00:33:41.000 That it came from some cave a thousand miles from Wuhan and somehow mysteriously wandered up over the back roads and mountains of China to a wet market in Wuhan.
00:33:50.000 We know that's a lie.
00:33:52.000 And the one thing they can't stop is a righteous, relentless people that determined they're not going to back off.
00:34:00.000 I totally agree with that sentiment.
00:34:02.000 You have to continue to demand from your leaders results and transparency around the 2020 election.
00:34:14.000 Something happened.
00:34:17.000 We don't even know the extent of it.
00:34:19.000 We do not.
00:34:20.000 We have suspicions.
00:34:21.000 We have ever-growing evidence.
00:34:26.000 You have more power than I think you realize to move the dial on this.
00:34:35.000 Many of the Republican leaders who should be caring about this want to turn the page.
00:34:40.000 It's time to move on.
00:34:42.000 They don't really care about what happened in Georgia.
00:34:44.000 They don't really care about what happened in Arizona.
00:34:46.000 Perfectly fine for the governor of Wisconsin to come in and tell these subpoenas.
00:34:50.000 Yeah, don't worry about it.
00:34:51.000 That's not a big deal.
00:34:52.000 At some point, Republican voters are going to be so impatient with our leaders, they're going to say, why is it that we control these attorney general offices in these states and we don't issue these subpoenas and start to use police power?
00:35:05.000 Why don't we do that?
00:35:06.000 And the excuse is usually, well, it's because we're gentlemen.
00:35:10.000 We're going to win the debate.
00:35:12.000 Oh, really?
00:35:13.000 While we lose the country.
00:35:15.000 When you're in a moment like this in politics, it's not for the squeamish and it's not for the weak.
00:35:24.000 It's not for most of these Senate Republicans.
00:35:26.000 Most of these Senate Republicans, they should go become university presidents and lobbyists.
00:35:30.000 It's a totally different political moment.
00:35:33.000 Mostly Senate Republicans were built for a time of graft and corruption, backroom dealing when we didn't have the threat of China and fraudulent elections and all these other things.
00:35:43.000 Instead, they just kind of, they're like, well, aren't we here to negotiate deals?
00:35:46.000 That's not why you're elected.
00:35:47.000 What Republican got elected to go negotiate deals?
00:35:50.000 Maybe Susan Collins. 0.86
00:35:51.000 She might be the only person who ran on the mandate to go negotiate elections. 0.96
00:35:56.000 You think that voters rise up in the Midwest states of this country to say, you know what?
00:36:01.000 We want you to go to D.C. to go work nicely with Chuck Schumer after he has an illegitimate Senate majority.
00:36:08.000 That's what we want you to go do.
00:36:10.000 Please go spend $1.2 trillion that we do not have to mortgage future generations to make Pete Buttigieg super powerful.
00:36:20.000 That's why we gave you the mandate to govern.
00:36:23.000 John Thune, who did vote against the infrastructure bill, I got to give him credit for that.
00:36:27.000 He released this ridiculous statement saying Republicans were sent to Washington to work together.
00:36:31.000 No, they weren't. 0.58
00:36:33.000 You're trying to tell me Tom Tillis won in North Carolina under elect me.
00:36:39.000 I'm going to go work together.
00:36:40.000 That's not what this mandate is.
00:36:42.000 He voted for this bill, of course.
00:36:45.000 Rob Portman in Ohio.
00:36:47.000 You think Rob Portman was elected on the idea of working together?
00:36:52.000 Our side focuses on winning arguments, debates, and campaigns.
00:36:56.000 Democrats focus on mechanics of winning elections, and they focus on election day mechanics, and then they focus on how to use those successful elections to create a one-party state.
00:37:09.000 I'm not arguing for a one-party state.
00:37:11.000 I'm not advocating for a one-party state.
00:37:13.000 I am asking the question: why is it that we're not using the attorney general offices in the states that we successfully win to make them have to explain their crimes?
00:37:24.000 Why is it that the, well, I mean, the governor of Arkansas is a waste of time, but why isn't it that I don't know who the Attorney General of Arkansas is?
00:37:32.000 Why are they not issuing subpoenas towards Hunter Biden?
00:37:35.000 You know how many crimes Hunter Biden's probably committed in Arkansas?
00:37:38.000 These should be state-run investigations.
00:37:40.000 Forget the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity, which is what they say are the three acronyms of the FBI.
00:37:47.000 Not even going to worry about them.
00:37:49.000 Why are the states not doing that?
00:37:51.000 Because we're seeing time and time again of Trump allies and people in Trump's orbit get crushed with the criminal justice system and that we just kind of lay back.
00:37:59.000 We're like, oh, let's go get coffee and debate ideas.
00:38:01.000 That's over.
00:38:03.000 It's done.
00:38:04.000 If you're not willing to do this, if you're not willing to level the playing field fairly through power that's given to you, go become a university president.
00:38:13.000 There's plenty of lobbying firms that need someone to go advocate for the ground invasion of Iran or whatever they're talking about now in the war industry.
00:38:21.000 We need people that are willing to save the nation and to save our home, not just manage the decline of it.
