The Charlie Kirk Show - The Great Realignment

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today's Charlie Kirk Show, the great realignment.

00:00:03.000 You are living through a historic realignment that historians will look back on and will write extensively about.

00:00:11.000 It's a political realignment, a cultural realignment.

00:00:13.000 It's exciting.

00:00:14.000 It's risky.

00:00:15.000 It's new.

00:00:15.000 And you're going to want to hear it.

00:01:17.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:01:18.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:01:19.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:01:21.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:26.000 Turning point USA. 0.65

00:01:28.000 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.

00:01:36.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:39.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:48.000 We had a very exciting event and successful event in Idaho Falls this last weekend, and we had a kind of private meet and greet.

00:01:57.000 And it moved me greatly.

00:02:00.000 And I came to a realization that we're living through something significant, a historic realignment.

00:02:05.000 Started to take questions from the audience.

00:02:08.000 And the audience was very upset with the two Republican senators from Idaho, Senator Crapo and Senator Risch.

00:02:14.000 They feel as if they're not fighting hard enough, that one of them is one of the big cheerleaders of the Ukrainian conflict, the United States funding of the Ukrainian conflict.

00:02:23.000 Hard to disagree with that.

00:02:25.000 And so then I asked a question.

00:02:26.000 I said, who here in this room?

00:02:27.000 Now, mind you, these are 200 Christian, conservative, MAGA voters, very conservative.

00:02:36.000 I said, who here has favorable opinions about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.?

00:02:42.000 And almost every hand goes up.

00:02:43.000 Enthusiasm.

00:02:44.000 They're clapping over the top.

00:02:46.000 I said, who here has favorable opinions about Joe Rogan?

00:02:51.000 About half the room is excited.

00:02:53.000 And I said, wait a second.

00:02:54.000 So you in this room here today with Christian, Christian conservative, you could call them hard right MAGA types, you're more excited about a Democrat running for the presidency than two Republican senators.

00:03:07.000 I said, this is interesting.

00:03:08.000 Why is this?

00:03:10.000 And I said, what about Elon Musk?

00:03:11.000 And some of them were a little bit mixed on Elon, but they said generally fine.

00:03:15.000 I said, how about Russell Brand or Glenn Greenwald?

00:03:19.000 What I was getting at is I saw in real time, and I see this in every pocket of the country I travel to, saw this, by the way, in Naples, Florida, where I say Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s name and people get excited is I believe we're about to see a true and legitimate realignment.

00:03:36.000 Now, look, you guys know we have a two-system, two-party system of government, and that's not the norm everywhere.

00:03:42.000 In Britain, there are three national parties.

00:03:44.000 In Israel, they have coalition government.

00:03:47.000 When a realignment happens in America, it's historically very significant.

00:03:52.000 It usually happens for a reason.

00:03:54.000 The last major realignment that we saw was 1976, 1980 election with Jimmy Carter.

00:04:01.000 Most southern states used to be Democrat.

00:04:03.000 Now they are Republican, except for Virginia, which is Democrat, but even they elect Glenn Youngkin as governor of Virginia.

00:04:11.000 The shift, that realignment happened because evangelical Christian voters began to support the Republican Party, along with pro-business voters in the South's new suburbs.

00:04:20.000 So there was a realignment that happened for a reason.

00:04:22.000 And we've kind of been living post-1990 with some exceptions, right?

00:04:27.000 Al Gore struggled to win his home state of Tennessee.

00:04:30.000 Bill Clinton struggled in the South.

00:04:32.000 But really post-2004, there have been very few of any political realignment changes.

00:04:38.000 It's been Republicans stand for this and Democrats stand for that.

00:04:41.000 But if you tell me you're a Republican, it doesn't tell me a lot about you.

00:04:45.000 It doesn't tell me your stance on the pharmaceutical industrial complex.

00:04:50.000 It doesn't tell me about your stance on us funding the proxy war in Ukraine.

00:04:55.000 You see, old, tired political labels mean less and less.

00:05:02.000 They don't really tell me who you are.

00:05:04.000 They don't offer clarity.

00:05:06.000 In fact, far too often, they're offering confusion.

00:05:09.000 Instead, I'm starting to hear this from the grassroots.

00:05:11.000 People say, oh, they're part of the Uniparty.

00:05:14.000 They're part of the neoliberal regime.

00:05:15.000 I say, that's an exciting thing to hear from a grassroots activist.

00:05:18.000 That means you're listening to the right shows.

00:05:21.000 You're engaging with the proper content.

00:05:24.000 When you have a Democrat running for the presidency, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., that gets more applause from a grassroots conservative audience than sitting Republican senators, you should take note of that and ask, what on earth is going on?

00:05:38.000 And I believe there is a new coalition being built, a coalition that is not right versus left, but instead bottom-up against the ruling oligarchy regime.

00:05:48.000 And mind you, there is not complete agreement in this coalition.

00:05:52.000 You got Russell Brand, Joe Rogan, Bobby Kennedy Jr., Steve Bannon, Bill Maher, Elon Musk, Matt Walsh, Glenn Greenwald, Tucker Carlson.

00:06:00.000 You got this program, Charlie Kirk.

00:06:03.000 There's kind of a myriad of issues.

00:06:04.000 It's all over the place.

00:06:06.000 Differences on social issues, but there seems to be some fundamental agreement.

00:06:11.000 Number one, there seems to be fundamental agreement that there is an untouchable oligarchy running our country.

00:06:18.000 An unelected, deep state, administrative state, a leviathan.

00:06:22.000 We talk about this on our program repeatedly.

00:06:25.000 That seems to be a point of agreement.

00:06:27.000 There seems to be a second point of agreement, a belief in freedom of speech, freedom of dialogue, of inquiry, to challenge pre-existing power structures.

00:06:35.000 That's exciting.

00:06:36.000 In fact, here's Elon Musk on Bill Maher's program talking about the moral need for freedom of speech.

00:06:43.000 Play cut five.

00:06:44.000 I really can't emphasize this enough.

00:06:48.000 We must protect free speech.

00:06:50.000 And free speech only matters.

00:06:52.000 It's only relevant when it's someone you don't like saying something you don't like.

00:06:56.000 Because obviously speech that you like is easy.

00:07:00.000 So it's and it's the thing about censorship is that, for those who would advocate it, just remember at some point that will return on you.

00:07:10.000 For those of you that advocate censorship, at some point that will come on you.

00:07:13.000 Of course, the Bolsheviks running the country, they don't care about that. 0.98

00:07:17.000 They want to be the permanent censorship bureau.

00:07:20.000 What else unites this new coalition?

00:07:22.000 That you shouldn't mandate a vaccine?

00:07:25.000 That our foreign policy is more about empire building and we're bad at that than it is about serving the American citizen.

00:07:32.000 It seems to push back against neoliberalism of this idea of importing nonstop products from China.

00:07:39.000 This new coalition is about the rise of the citizen against a morally corrupt regime.

00:07:48.000 And what's exciting is that you don't have to have uniform agreement.

00:07:52.000 What's exciting is that if you see a truth teller that is saying something meaningful, you're willing to say, come on aboard.

00:07:59.000 Now, mind you, some of you in the audience don't like this new coalition.

00:08:03.000 You want puritanical, conservative ideas, and I'm that way too.

00:08:09.000 I'm right-wing.

00:08:11.000 But I would much rather have somebody like Bobby Kennedy Jr., who I agree on about 60 or 70% of the issues on, fight against the administrative state than a Republican from Idaho or a Republican senator like Lady Graham, who does some show votes on legislation that will never become law, but protects the administrative state, protects the deep state, that keeps our borders wide open and funds the proxy war in Ukraine.

00:08:40.000 That is actively harming the fabric of the United States of America.

00:08:45.000 What this new coalition represents is finally, finally a chance to have something that has been so sorely lacking that has not existed since I was born in 1993, a legitimate opposition party.

00:09:02.000 One of the reasons America is in the mess that it's in is that we do not have an opposition party.

00:09:07.000 The RNC, the Republican Party, Mitch McConnell is not, they are not an opposition party.

00:09:15.000 They just want better seats on the Titanic.

00:09:17.000 They want to make sure they still get invited to the cocktail parties.

00:09:21.000 They want a sign of approval amongst the leadership oligarchy of the untouchable class.

00:09:30.000 No, there seems to be something brewing that is exciting.

00:09:34.000 It's exhilarating.

00:09:35.000 It's also very risky, by the way, but it's necessary and it's healthy, which is a new coalition of anti-woke, pro-free speech, pro-America, pro-liberty, challenging corporate power, does not want foreign wars.

00:09:53.000 You might ask, why is it risky?

00:09:54.000 I'm going to tell you why it's risky.

00:09:56.000 It's risky because this could splinter into a third political party and could disenfranchise anybody on the center right.

00:10:03.000 It's risky because when you build coalitions with people you disagree with, bad intentions could take over.

00:10:10.000 But honestly, can it get any worse?

00:10:11.000 The Republican Party is not representing its voters.

00:10:15.000 I'm not a registered Republican for this reason.

00:10:17.000 I'm a registered independent.

00:10:18.000 Obviously, I don't vote for Democrats, but I refuse to register as a Republican.

00:10:22.000 They've done active damage to the Republic, and they continue to.

00:10:26.000 They are a performance party.

00:10:27.000 It's all performative.

00:10:29.000 This new coalition, this realignment that we are living through, has a chance to finally mount an opposition against the regime, which is exactly why they have to censor these voices, indict these voices, smear these voices.

00:10:43.000 They know that 90% of the country could eventually agree on these common sense ideas.

00:10:52.000 Hey, everybody, Summer is here.

00:12:34.000 It's amazing.

00:12:35.000 I'm receiving hundreds of emails here, freedomatcharlikirk.com, where people are saying, Charlie, I donated to Robert Kennedy.

00:12:42.000 I'm done with the Republican Party.

00:12:44.000 Trump and Kennedy people are saying, no, I don't think they should necessarily run as a ticket.

00:12:48.000 I'm not recommending that.

00:12:49.000 That's Steve Bannon.

00:12:50.000 I think I disagree slightly on that.

00:12:53.000 But there's something happening here that's exciting.

00:12:55.000 Let's talk about it.

00:12:56.000 This is way more interesting than, oh, Joe Biden struggles to finish sentences.

00:13:01.000 Yeah, okay, we know that.

00:13:02.000 All right.

00:13:03.000 Joe Biden is old.

00:13:05.000 We know that too.

00:13:06.000 What's more interesting to me and should be to you is you are living through a moment where the entire political paradigm is shifting.

00:13:16.000 There's a muscular class element to this.

00:13:19.000 There's a don't vaccinate my kid with an mRNA gene-altering shot that you call a vaccine, otherwise known as the COVID-19 shot.

00:13:28.000 This is coalition building.

00:13:29.000 And in some sense, this is our best hope.

00:13:32.000 You want to know what the hope for America is?

00:13:33.000 The hope for America is not the current Republican Party.

00:13:37.000 Now, don't get me wrong.

00:13:38.000 I think the vessel to actually effectuate this coalition building will need to have a temporary home in the Republican Party.

00:13:44.000 Elon Musk agreed, by the way.

00:13:46.000 Elon Musk voted for Republicans in the midterms because in a two-party system, it's going to have to land somewhere.

00:13:51.000 And the Democrat Party is completely captured.

00:13:54.000 They are captured by the most radical, Marxist, totalitarian, post-modern, post-structural element.

00:14:01.000 So it's not going to be there.

00:14:02.000 The Republican Party needs to be a place where we're willing to build coalitions, to entertain different voices.

00:14:10.000 And so it's interesting and not compromising on principle, by the way.

00:14:14.000 I am not saying for a second we should compromise on our pro-life stances or our strong border stances.

00:14:20.000 But honestly, you go through the list.

00:14:21.000 Russell Brand, Joe Rogan, you know, Bobby Kennedy Jr., Steve Bannon, Bill Maher, Elon Musk, Matt Walsh, Glenn Greenwald, Tucker Carlson, this program, Charlie Kirk Show, Dan Bongino.

00:14:33.000 There are actually very few points of disagreement on the most pressing issues.

00:14:38.000 For example, stable currency and checking the Federal Reserve.

00:14:41.000 There's agreement on that.

00:14:42.000 Stopping mass surveillance of American citizens.

00:14:45.000 There's great agreement on that.

00:14:47.000 Restraining the Gestapo that calls themselves the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

00:14:51.000 Great agreement on that.

00:14:52.000 What unites this new coalition is, yes, ideological agreement, but it seems to be actually more attitudinal.

00:15:00.000 What does Steve Bannon and Bobby Kennedy Jr. and Joe Rogan seem to all have in common?

00:15:05.000 Courage against the powerful.

00:15:07.000 That is what unites.

00:15:09.000 It seems as if there's a new community of courageous truth tellers that are coalescing behind a love of America.

00:15:18.000 I don't doubt for a second that Joe Rogan loves America.

00:15:22.000 Joe Rogan and I have probably different politics, certainly on drug legalization, certainly on other things.

00:15:28.000 But I don't doubt that Joe Rogan loves the country.

00:15:30.000 And Joe Rogan's not insane.

00:15:32.000 In fact, Joe Rogan will permanently be in the pantheon of the courageous for me for what he did in the midst of the Fauci virus.

00:15:42.000 Joe Rogan platformed Dr. Malone.

00:15:44.000 He talked about Ivermectin.

00:15:45.000 He spoke against the mandatory vaccine.

00:15:48.000 It doesn't matter what Joe Rogan says or does.

00:15:50.000 He's passed the quote-unquote purity test more than almost any establishment Republican.

00:15:55.000 Not only was Joe Rogan attacked for that, he was nearly obliterated for it.

00:16:00.000 When was the last time an establishment Republican had to endure the type of maligning, lying, smearing, or mocking that Matt Walsh, Glenn Greenwald, Tucker Carlson, Bobby Kennedy?

00:16:14.000 By the way, I could add James O'Keefe to the list.

00:16:18.000 This is an exciting moment.

00:16:21.000 It's also a little bit risky because you don't know how these coalitions can end up.

00:16:26.000 And it's the old adage, like, be careful what you wish for.

00:16:28.000 Is it going to splinter into a third party?

00:16:30.000 Is it going to kind of have its own pocket off to the side?

00:16:33.000 We don't know.

00:16:35.000 But if you look at the country, they say, oh, we're so divided.

00:16:39.000 Are we so divided?

00:16:41.000 Are we?

00:16:42.000 Right-wing Charlie Kirk and right-wing Steve Bannon and right-wing Matt Walsh have positive things to say about Bobby Kennedy Jr.

00:16:52.000 Robert Kennedy Jr. is not on board with half of our message.

00:16:54.000 That's okay, at least for this moment in time, because we have an overwhelming threat, which is the woke mind virus, the trans social contagion, the administrative state. 0.93

00:17:06.000 Building these coalitions is necessary.

00:17:09.000 The realignment we're living through is about courage against the powerful, a restoration of representative government. 0.97

00:17:18.000 It's about parents, not perverts, citizens, not bureaucrats, about entrepreneurs, not major corporations, peace, not stupid, reckless war, borders, not globalism, nationalism, not internationalism.

00:17:34.000 These distinctions are normal. 0.99

00:17:36.000 They used to be ordinary.

00:17:37.000 They used to be not debated.

00:17:39.000 What we are seeing is a new coalition that basically says, I love the country.

00:17:44.000 I don't want radical ideas, but I want my home back.

00:17:50.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:17:51.000 Are you tired of feeling burnt out and struggling to stay productive throughout the day?

00:17:55.000 Does brain fog and short-term memory loss keep you from functioning at your best?

00:17:59.000 Well, I did too.

00:18:00.000 And then I was introduced to Strong Cell.

00:18:02.000 More specifically, NADH.

00:18:04.000 If you don't believe me, check it out yourself.

00:18:05.000 What Strong Cell has done is they have a scientific breakthrough in cellular health.

00:18:09.000 They combine NADH, CoQ10, and marine collagen to boost your body's cellular function.

00:18:14.000 I personally take it every day.

00:18:15.000 I'm a big NAD believer.

00:18:17.000 People say, Charlie, how do you keep up the schedule?

00:18:53.000 Wouldn't it be exciting for once to have real debates about the issues?

00:18:57.000 Wouldn't it be exciting to be able to talk about war, corporate power, the same stuff that Tucker mentioned in his Twitter video last week?

00:19:05.000 How many times have you heard the talking heads, the Operation Mockingbird, the Apparatch, people in your local circle?

00:19:12.000 Well, all we have to do is win the Senate.

00:19:16.000 All we have to do is win this election.

00:19:18.000 Now, don't get me wrong, winning elections is very important.

00:19:20.000 Using political power is very important.

00:19:22.000 But I think we all understand at this point, there's something a lot deeper going on.

00:19:28.000 The game, the way it's been structured, is about a fake struggle of power.

00:19:33.000 One of the only major noticeable differences legislatively between Republicans and Democrats is judges.

00:19:40.000 And that's not insignificant.

00:19:41.000 That's a real thing.

00:19:42.000 But besides that, it's complete agreement on keeping the border wide open.

00:19:48.000 No one really cares.

00:19:49.000 A couple of Republicans do, no Democrats care.

00:19:51.000 Trans surgery for kids.

00:19:53.000 Okay, we'll pass the bill.

00:19:54.000 Nothing happens.

00:19:55.000 It's controlled opposition outside of just the judge issue, which is important.

00:19:58.000 That's fine.

00:19:59.000 Complete agreement on Ukraine, complete agreement on the pharmaceutical industrial complex, complete agreement on the war machine, complete agreement on domestic surveillance and censorship, complete agreement on the untouchable nature of the FBI, complete agreement on globalism versus domestic, complete agreement on spending and debt.

00:20:18.000 I mean, how many trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars do we need to spend before we realize that the whole game, the way it's actually designed, it's not working.

00:20:29.000 The Republican-Democrat thing is really just a power-sharing agreement.

00:20:33.000 That's what it is.

00:20:34.000 The Republican-Democrat uniparty is: okay, you might win an election, you might win an election, yeah, you might get some judges, you might get some things we don't like, but the power-sharing agreement is we're never going to go after the fundamental issues that are really damaging the country and making us powerful and rich.

00:20:51.000 It's a battle between those who love truth and those who go along to get along.

00:20:55.000 Most Republican senators, I'm sure, are very sweet people.

00:20:59.000 I'm sure that you would have them over for dinner and they would tell you a couple funny stories about how Mitch McConnell fell asleep in the middle of a meeting.

00:21:05.000 Wow, he's such a nice guy.

00:21:06.000 He told us a story about how the turtle fell asleep.

00:21:08.000 That's not relevant here.

00:21:09.000 I don't care if they're sweet.

00:21:11.000 That's fine, okay?

00:21:12.000 Go run for a library board or mosquito abatement director, okay? 0.76

00:21:17.000 We need people that are ideologically and culturally ready to engage in the battle that matters.

00:21:23.000 Tucker Carlson summed it up perfectly here in his last public address at the Heritage Foundation before his show just got canceled.

00:21:32.000 He talks about the coalition of the awakened.

00:21:35.000 It's almost impossible to predict where this is going, but it's exciting.

00:21:38.000 And all of you that are without hope, I hope you're sitting on the edge of your seat because you're about to live through a realignment.

00:21:44.000 Historians, 100 years from now, are going to talk about the post-COVID, the post-Floyd depalooza, the post-alphabet mafia tyranny of the country realignment.

00:21:52.000 There's something exciting, unpredictable.

00:21:55.000 Tucker Carlson does what Tucker Carlson does best, PlayCut 17.

00:21:58.000 I'm really interested in cause and effect.

00:22:00.000 And as I noted at the outset of my remarks and my ability to predict the future, working on that.

00:22:08.000 But because I'm sort of paid to predict things, I try and think a lot about, you know, what connects certain outcomes that I should have seen before they occurred.

00:22:18.000 And in this case, there is no thread that I can find that connects all of the people who've popped up in my life to be that lone brave person in the crowd who says, no, thank you.

00:22:30.000 You could not have known who these people are.

00:22:32.000 They don't fit a common profile.

00:22:34.000 Some are people like me.

00:22:36.000 Some of them don't look like me at all.

00:22:38.000 Some of them are people I despised on political grounds just a few years ago.

00:22:42.000 I could name their names, but you may not even know about their transformations.

00:22:45.000 I don't want to wreck your dinner by telling you who they are.

00:22:48.000 But there's in one case someone who I made fun of on television and certainly in my private life in vulgar ways, who was really the embodiment of everything I found repulsive, who in the middle of COVID decided, no, I'm not going along with this.

00:23:01.000 And once you say one true thing and stick with it, all kinds of other true things occur to you.

00:23:06.000 That is the logos, the spoken truth.

00:23:08.000 Once you engage or once you focus on truth, well, then all of a sudden, the natural law of the universe starts to come into place.

00:23:18.000 Oh, wow, why are we putting masks on kids and keeping the schools closed?

00:23:23.000 Why are we mandating vaccines?

00:23:24.000 Why don't we have a border? 0.98

00:23:26.000 Why are you saying that we're systemically racist when it's blacks killing each other more than any other group? 1.00

00:23:31.000 What does white people have? 0.99

00:23:32.000 Why do white people have to be blamed for that?

00:23:33.000 That doesn't make any sense. 0.92

00:23:35.000 Why is black on black gang violence in Chicago white supremacy?

00:23:38.000 That's confusing to me.

00:23:41.000 Why are we talking about Ukraine when our kids can't read in our public schools?

00:23:44.000 Why are we mutilating children?

00:23:45.000 Once you start to get, once you start drinking from the streams of truth, you're going to want to find its source.

00:23:52.000 You're going to want to keep on climbing up that ladder.

00:23:54.000 And that does take courage.

00:23:56.000 And I think that's actually one of the reasons why some of the country know that all of a sudden they start asking the proper questions about Epstein.

00:24:04.000 They start asking the proper questions about the mandatory vaccine.

00:24:07.000 It's going to make them uncomfortable.

00:24:09.000 But that's what is so beautiful about the Christian theological promise, which is the truth will set you free.

00:24:16.000 But once you are free, that means you have to take responsibility for your life.

00:24:19.000 And not everybody wants that.

00:24:21.000 It is human nature.

00:24:22.000 It's the human norm to want to be taken care of.

00:24:25.000 Take care of me with the lies, just send me free stuff.

00:24:27.000 Take care of me with the lives.

00:24:29.000 Just send me free stuff.

00:24:31.000 This is what journalists are supposed to do.

00:24:33.000 Journalists don't do that.

00:24:35.000 They just parrot the uploaded chat GPT woke talking points of the day.

00:24:43.000 But that matrix is breaking and we're living through it.

00:24:46.000 We are an active part of it.

00:24:47.000 And yes, Donald Trump deserves a huge amount of credit for this.

00:24:50.000 Donald Trump was one of the first people to say, you know what? 0.99

00:24:54.000 The Iraq war was a huge mistake and the Bushes are losers. 1.00

00:24:57.000 That's a thought crime in right-wing circles. 0.96

00:24:59.000 He said, I don't care.

00:25:00.000 And he won South Carolina.

00:25:02.000 He comes out and he says, yeah, you know, the trade deals are terrible.

00:25:05.000 He really, Trump, this, if there is something where one of Trump's greatest lasting legacies, and he was a phenomenal president, is that he just broke all these sacred cows on the right.

00:25:16.000 Can't insult the Bush family.

00:25:18.000 Can't say Iraq was a mistake.

00:25:21.000 Can't do that.

00:25:21.000 Can't say that we have too many people coming in our country legally, not just illegally.

00:25:26.000 Can't say the war machine is too hungry.

00:25:28.000 Can't go after Lady Graham.

00:25:30.000 Can't go after the turtle.

00:25:31.000 He can't do that.

00:25:32.000 Trump is like, Yeah, I don't care.

00:25:34.000 And what he did is he liberated millions of other truth tellers.

00:25:39.000 Now, this is the issue, though, is that moderate Republicans appropriate MAGAism when they are really uniparty-type spokespeople.

00:25:49.000 There's very few people in DC that actually are listening to their voters and want a citizen response to this bipartisan power-sharing agreement between Republicans and Democrats, like Lady Graham.

00:26:02.000 He doesn't want any structural change.

00:26:05.000 He wants invade the world, invite the world.

00:26:07.000 And yeah, he might vote correctly on judges, and he deserves credit for that.

00:26:10.000 That's fine.

00:26:11.000 But in some ways, that's kind of protective show votes where it's like, oh, I'm still a Republican.

00:26:15.000 See, I voted for a judge.

00:26:16.000 Okay, that's great.

00:26:18.000 That's part of, that's like 5% of a 95% issue where you're wrong on 95% of the stuff.

00:26:26.000 This coalition, what's so amazing about it is that it's not coordinated.

00:26:33.000 No one's talking to one another.

00:26:35.000 I could tell you this.

00:26:36.000 I mean, there's a couple people talking here or there, but it's not like we have some group chat going on with Joe Rogan and Russell Brand and Bobby Kennedy Jr. and Steve Bannon and Bill Maher and Tucker.

00:26:49.000 And they're like, hey, let's talk about this.

00:26:51.000 It's totally bottom up.

00:26:52.000 It's completely decentralized.

00:26:55.000 And that is what makes the regime very nervous: it's 100% organic against synthetic communication narratives.

00:27:05.000 It's totally organic where people are independently coming to these conclusions.

00:27:12.000 People are independently starting to come to the same worldview without any sort of incentive, subsidy, any sort of nudge.

00:27:23.000 No. 0.95

00:27:24.000 It's because the moment is too ridiculous. 0.93

00:27:27.000 It's so insane that it only requires a few people willing to say so, saying, this doesn't make any sense at all. 0.93

00:27:34.000 Why are we doing this?

00:27:36.000 And then they smear you and call you a racist. 0.87

00:27:37.000 And most people will sit down and shut up, like Chuck Todd.

00:27:40.000 I mean, if Chuck Todd would even dare to say anything in an editorial meeting, the mob will come after him.

00:27:46.000 The cartel will come after him.

00:27:47.000 And you see this with most right-wing broadcasters.

00:27:50.000 Most right-wing broadcasters on television don't engage on the issues that are actually civilizational turning issues.

00:27:56.000 Currency, international hegemony, global reserve currency, way too many people coming into the country, vaccine mandates, pharmaceutical industrial complex.

00:28:09.000 The cost for speaking truth right now is very high.

00:28:12.000 If you lie and you parrot what the regime wants you, you'll get paid.

00:28:16.000 You'll get a paycheck.

00:28:18.000 Just talk about Mitch McConnell talking points.

00:28:20.000 Just do RNC TV.

00:28:23.000 Media companies are funded by the very corporations that have merged with corporate power.

00:28:29.000 It requires independence financially and institutionally to be able to do this.

00:28:35.000 But more than anything else, it just takes courage.

00:28:37.000 You look at Joy Reed, Anderson Cooper, Chuck Todd.

00:28:41.000 They don't say anything interesting.

00:28:44.000 They're not pushing boundaries.

00:28:46.000 They're not challenging orthodoxies.

00:28:50.000 But they get paid because they're obedient, because they're masters in the corporate America and in the deep state and the administrative state of government.

00:28:58.000 They need those, you can call them liars, but they're just, they're just communication agents of a globalist corrupt regime.

00:29:08.000 You know, there's another thing that this coalition has in common is that there's an embracing of disagreement.

00:29:15.000 Do you notice that?

00:29:16.000 Whether it be Matt Walsh or Joe Rogan, there's almost a leaning into the people that don't see the world the way we do.

00:29:22.000 I mean, we do our best at Turning Point USA when we have these campus events.

00:29:26.000 When we say anybody who disagrees can go to the front of the line for one hour uninterrupted, we can have question and answer.

00:29:32.000 You could say whatever you want to me.

00:29:33.000 Joe Rogan has people who disagree with him all the time on his program.

00:29:36.000 Russell Brand is a free speech warrior.

00:29:38.000 Bill Maher has people on his program all the time.

00:29:41.000 Tucker Carlson would have interesting and difficult conversations.

00:29:45.000 You see, you might find common cause with pro-abortion people like Bobby Kennedy Jr., or the pro-shroom people like Joe Rogan, or the Namaste people like Russell Brand, or with gay people like Dave Rubin and Glenn Greenwald.

00:30:00.000 And Dave's a friend of mine.

00:30:01.000 What really matters right now is to defeat the existential enemy, not allow the regime to say those people should not be on your team, when in reality, we need to defeat the enemy that is at the gates.

00:30:15.000 They are feet away.

00:30:16.000 They are literally feet away from storming the Bastille, the quote-unquote Bastille of our civilization, taking over everything.

00:30:23.000 We can have these kind of interesting conversations.

00:30:25.000 I'm not threatened by Bobby Kennedy Jr. having what I consider to be incorrect views on the environment because we can handle ourselves.

00:30:35.000 We can have debate.

00:30:36.000 We can have dialogue.

00:30:38.000 In fact, we sharpen our ideas by engaging in oppositional conversation.

00:30:45.000 We enjoy it.

00:30:47.000 I love going to college campuses.

00:30:49.000 I'll debate any professor.

00:30:51.000 I'll debate anybody.

00:30:53.000 That's actually what makes the battle of ideas exciting and new and fresh.

00:30:59.000 But you understand that the regime, Joy Reed, the racewoman, Chuck Todd, the turtle, Lady Graham, they don't like debate because they are brittle.

00:31:12.000 They are fragile.

00:31:14.000 Debate to them is really concerning.

00:31:18.000 I mean, for example, I say time and time again: anybody's welcome on this program.

00:31:21.000 That's a Senate Republican to defend their stance on Ukraine.

00:31:24.000 I'll treat you nicely and kindly, but I'm going to debate you.

00:31:29.000 Can you handle it?

00:31:30.000 Can you come and tell me why you want your voters to think that Zelensky is more important than our own southern border?

00:31:36.000 Because that is the belief of Senate Republicans.

00:31:38.000 Mitch McConnell said that it's one of the most important things.

00:31:42.000 You can get the quote.

00:31:43.000 I don't want to ever misquote, but he said, one of the most important things, top priority, the prime directive is Ukraine.

00:31:49.000 Not our own, why would we care about our own border?

00:31:51.000 Goodness gracious.

00:31:52.000 Not like we're being invaded every day.

00:31:54.000 Here's the thing: part of this coalition is going to require on your part a little bit of flex in the joints.

00:32:01.000 But let me be clear: you never compromise on your deeply held beliefs.

00:32:04.000 You don't stop believing something, but you must be willing to say, Hey, I disagree with you, Joe Rogan.

00:32:10.000 Welcome aboard on these three mission-critical issues.

00:32:13.000 And if we solve those issues, then we'll disagree on drug legalization or whatever.

00:32:17.000 The uniparty cabal doesn't want us building these partnerships.

00:32:24.000 They don't want Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson combining forces or Russell Brand and Steve Bannon combining forces.

00:32:33.000 No, no, no.

00:32:34.000 That's not what they want at all. 0.98

00:32:37.000 They would rather have these nauseating, tiresome, wow, Republicans are really bad and Democrats are really bad. 0.82

00:32:45.000 And let's just keep on doing what we've been doing. 0.92

00:32:47.000 Look at Mitch McConnell, the turtle, talking about Ukraine.

00:32:50.000 Don't believe me.

00:32:51.000 He says it's the most important thing.

00:32:52.000 Play Cut 18.

00:32:53.000 Well, good afternoon, everyone.

00:32:55.000 I think we all agree the most important thing going on in the world right now is the war in Ukraine.

00:33:01.000 The most important thing, not the dollar losing its global reserve currency status or the CCP taking over the world.

00:33:07.000 No, he thinks the most important thing happening on the planet is the war in Ukraine, not our own southern border or the suicide epidemic with young people or AI.

00:33:17.000 Artificial intelligence, unrestricted, unchecked artificial intelligence growing at the current rate is way more dangerous than Vladimir Putin.

00:33:26.000 Way more dangerous.

00:33:28.000 And if you don't agree with that, you do not understand the technology and you've not talked to the right experts.

00:33:33.000 Does Mitch McConnell even know what artificial intelligence is?

00:33:36.000 Is that the Facebook thing?

00:33:39.000 It's a great time to be alive because now new alliances, coalitions, partnerships, friendships are starting to come together.

00:33:47.000 New harmonies, new rhythms of activism.

00:33:51.000 It's the courage against the powerful.

00:33:53.000 It's the willingness to challenge the entrenched power structure.

00:33:58.000 It's time to step up, to lean into this and realize that there is hope, light at the end of the tunnel.

00:34:05.000 We have to fight.

00:34:06.000 We have to empower the truth tellers.

00:34:08.000 There's no guarantee we win, but this new coalition gives us a much better shot.
