00:01:28.000 Really special guest joining us this hour, the next governor of North Carolina.

00:01:35.000 We were just at an event together at Troy and Penny Maxwell's church, Freedom House Church in Charlotte.

00:01:42.000 This guy's a superstar.

00:01:43.000 I first came aware of him when he was talking about gun control at a local meeting, and he is a superstar.

00:01:51.000 We're going to do everything we can to help him become next governor of North Carolina.

00:01:55.000 He's the current lieutenant governor.

00:01:57.000 It is Mark Robinson.

00:01:58.000 Lieutenant Governor, welcome to the program.

00:01:59.000 Great to see you.

00:02:00.000 Hey, thanks for having me, Charlie.

00:02:02.000 It's a pleasure.

00:02:03.000 And I want to just say, just for whatever it's worth, you sitting down listening to my entire speech, that was really kind of you.

00:02:10.000 It meant a lot to me.

00:02:11.000 Not everyone does that.

00:02:12.000 You know, they speak and they get out of Dodge.

00:02:14.000 I wish we could have spent more time together.

00:02:16.000 I had to get out of there for some other reasons, but you're a good man and you're in it for the right reasons.

00:02:21.000 You're a true patriot.

00:02:22.000 Well, thank you.

00:02:22.000 And I truly enjoyed your speech that night, your conversation that you had with the pastors.

00:02:29.000 The answers to the question that you gave were just, I mean, just, they were phenomenal, phenomenal answers.

00:02:35.000 Really, really good.

00:02:36.000 Thank you.

00:02:37.000 So I got to be honest, you know, I was driving in.

00:02:39.000 I was running a little late on Super Tuesday.

00:02:42.000 And, you know, sometimes I want to torture myself.

00:02:45.000 So I listen to MSNBC and they spent 30 to 45 minutes on you.

00:02:51.000 Talk about your candidacy and why do you think that you're such a threat to the MSNBC crowd?

00:02:57.000 Well, you know, we're expecting about $100 million to come in this campaign against me for governor.

00:03:03.000 And I think the reason why is because I think the Democrats are seeing some handwriting on the ball.

00:03:08.000 They're seeing the dissatisfaction that their base voters are having.

00:03:12.000 That being a lot of minority voters are having.

00:03:16.000 They have a lot of dissatisfaction with what's going on at the federal level.

00:03:20.000 Joe Biden has been an absolute disaster, whether it be on the economy, the border, public safety, no matter what it is. 0.91

00:03:26.000 He has been a disaster.

00:03:28.000 And they're seeing that dissatisfaction.

00:03:30.000 But in my case, what they really see is they see a candidate that is able to reach out to those folks, bring common sense solutions to the problems that they face.

00:03:40.000 And then they see someone who looks like them.

00:03:42.000 And ultimately, what happens there is we get into office and their success.

00:03:46.000 And all of a sudden, voting dynamics in North Carolina are changed for decades.

00:03:50.000 And quite it starts across the nation.

00:03:53.000 They're very afraid of that.

00:03:55.000 They don't want that to happen. 0.96

00:03:56.000 They cannot have a conservative black man at the helm in North Carolina or in any state. 0.96

00:04:02.000 So let's show great results like President Trump did at the national level. 0.89

00:04:06.000 That's right.

00:04:06.000 And so let's talk about it.

00:04:08.000 You know, they might think Trump is going to win.

00:04:11.000 They're already trying to think of what comes next. 0.55

00:04:13.000 And they cannot have an articulate, passionate, patriotic, conservative black man be a popular governor in a state as important as North Carolina, right?

00:04:25.000 North Carolina is critical to their redefining goals.

00:04:30.000 So the money coming in is they're trying to stop your career, stop the movement, because I'll be honest, you know, if Trump wins, which we pray he does in November, you're a top list if you become governor to be really a continuation of this movement.

00:04:47.000 They see that. 0.96

00:04:48.000 They need to try to keep their monopoly on black America. 0.97

00:04:53.000 And the way they're attacking you, I mean, I've seen a lot of political attacks. 0.69

00:04:57.000 I have not seen the dishonesty towards someone not named Donald Trump like this in quite some time.

00:05:06.000 It is reprehensible.

00:05:08.000 I think you should sue MSNBC.

00:05:11.000 I tweeted that out. 1.00

00:05:12.000 They were calling you a Holocaust denier and all this garbage. 0.99

00:05:15.000 Lieutenant Governor, your reaction? 0.99

00:05:18.000 My reaction is this.

00:05:19.000 And I tell people this all the time.

00:05:23.000 When I was in the seventh grade at junior high school back, I can remember taking the social studies class.

00:05:31.000 In social studies, we learned history.

00:05:33.000 And I remember being taught about the Holocaust.

00:05:36.000 I remember the first time I saw the images of survivors of Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen and Buchenwald and those death camps.

00:05:46.000 I remember seeing photographs of human bodies being stacked like pork wood. 0.83

00:05:53.000 The savagery that the Holocaust represents. 0.68

00:05:57.000 I saw that from the time I was a young teenager and have studied it extensively up until now. 0.96

00:06:03.000 And for someone to say that I don't believe what I've seen with my own eyes is completely ridiculous.

00:06:10.000 Not only that, not only that, Charlie, I also stood in Israel with the Israeli people one month after the worst attack on Israel since the Holocaust.

00:06:20.000 I prayed with those people.

00:06:22.000 I cried to those people.

00:06:23.000 I saw the dreadful after effects of outright murder against women and children.

00:06:29.000 I stood on those grounds and I witnessed those things. 0.99

00:06:32.000 And for somebody to make those accusations to me is completely unfounded and just quite frankly ridiculous.

00:06:38.000 I want to play the tape here because I think I was one of the first people to find this and put it on social media only because I was in the car listening to MSNBC.

00:06:45.000 Listen to this. 0.99

00:06:46.000 They should be, I know you got to run a campaign, but I'll tell you, they should be sued for this crap. 1.00

00:06:51.000 It is moral crap. 0.99

00:06:53.000 Play cut 42. 0.98

00:06:54.000 When you have to say the Holocaust was real and Hitler was evil, both in a primary ad, you know that this is not a normal primary year, but Mark Robinson is not a normal primary winner.

00:07:07.000 He will be the Republican nominee for governor in North Carolina.

00:07:10.000 He has, in fact, called the Holocaust hogwash. 0.83

00:07:14.000 He says Beyonce is satanic.

00:07:17.000 He says the moon landing in 1969 may have been fake. 0.99

00:07:20.000 He says the civil rights movement in the 1960s was, quote, crap and that Martin Luther King was a communist. 0.98

00:07:27.000 He also says there is a secret ruling cabal that is part reptile, meaning part human, part reptile. 0.97

00:07:35.000 Now, I don't want to waste our valuable time of you going through that nonsense, but I want you to just riff on the Holocaust one because that is the one that they're going to try to use against you.

00:07:45.000 And I have your Facebook post. 0.69

00:07:48.000 You were talking about how the Nazis took away guns, which led to the extermination of Jews. 1.00

00:07:54.000 That is factual. 1.00

00:07:55.000 That is historically accurate.

00:07:56.000 Mark Robinson. 0.65

00:07:58.000 Or more to the point: how a weak leftist government set up gun control in a way that a punk like Hitler could use it to take to victimize people.

00:08:09.000 Look, these folks know exactly what I mean.

00:08:12.000 They knew exactly what I was saying.

00:08:14.000 But the bottom line is this: they want to talk about everything else under the sun except for the issues.

00:08:20.000 And why do they not want to talk about the issues?

00:08:23.000 Because whether it's the border, whether it's our economy, whether it's education, doesn't matter what it is, they lose on every single solitary substance issue out there.

00:08:35.000 They don't have one single solitary win.

00:08:37.000 So, what they want to do is smear the windshield with a bunch of garbage so that folks can't see what's going on and can't get a glimpse into the future under conservative leadership.

00:08:47.000 But I guarantee you, we're going to claim that windshield off, push past all this mud, and move forward and give people a vision they can believe in.

00:08:54.000 I love it.

00:08:55.000 And you are the highest-profile governor's race in this election year.

00:08:59.000 Highest profile.

00:09:01.000 Think about all the places they could, all the places they could deploy capital.

00:09:05.000 They're going to put $100 million.

00:09:08.000 Why?

00:09:09.000 Because they think, okay, we can start Mark Robinson.

00:09:12.000 We can stop MAGA of tomorrow.

00:09:14.000 That's their calculus.

00:09:15.000 We can stop this ascendant movement.

00:09:18.000 And plus, you have plans to make North Carolina a new Florida in the best possible way.

00:09:25.000 Competitive for business, safe for kids to go to school.

00:09:28.000 About one minute in this segment, Mark, talk about some of your vision for North Carolina and contrast that with the failure of the Democrats in your state.

00:09:35.000 Oh, well, so I'll put it this way and just make it short.

00:09:38.000 Someone asked me what makes me different from my opponent on the Alpha Saturday Island.

00:09:43.000 This is it.

00:09:43.000 I'm part of a winning team.

00:09:44.000 He's part of a losing team.

00:09:46.000 His team had us $3.4 billion in debt to the federal government.

00:09:50.000 My team has us now with a $5 billion surplus.

00:09:54.000 His team had us lackluster on business engagement.

00:09:58.000 Our team has us as the number one business destination in the nation two years running.

00:10:03.000 The differences could not be more clear.

00:10:06.000 My vision is to grow our economy from Murphy to Manio.

00:10:09.000 His vision is more of the same old thing: agenda, agenda, agenda, and forget about the people and forget about growth.

00:10:16.000 He's going to style himself as a moderate Southern Democrat.

00:10:19.000 Josh Stein is anything but that.

00:10:21.000 He is a hard leftist cut from the same cloth as Joe Biden and that governor out in California.

00:10:26.000 And he will do things here in North Carolina that will take us backwards, not forwards.

00:10:30.000 And make no mistake, the lie about the Holocaust thing is just trying to play into Josh Stein's hands. 0.56

00:10:35.000 That's part of the whole thing.

00:10:36.000 They're trying to make it an issue where it doesn't exist.

00:10:38.000 I think you should play offense on it, law, fair, legal, show that you were in Israel. 1.00

00:10:42.000 These people are good for nothing, and you should take it as a compliment. 0.95

00:10:45.000 They see you as one of the top five threats to the left in the country.

00:10:52.000 Are you ready to lose weight, but not sure where to start?

00:10:54.000 I was right where you are two years ago.

00:10:54.000 I understand.

00:10:56.000 Let me tell you why I chose the PhD weight loss and nutrition program.

00:11:00.000 First, Dr. Ashley Lucas has her PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition.

00:11:03.000 Her program is based on years of research and is science-based.

00:11:06.000 Second, the PhD program starts nutrition.

00:11:08.000 There is so much more.

00:11:09.000 They know that 90% of permanent change comes from the mind, and they work on eliminating the reason you gain this weight in the first place.

00:11:15.000 There's no shortcuts, pills, or injections, just solid, science-based nutrition and behavior change.

00:11:19.000 And finally, probably most importantly, I lost 30 pounds.

00:11:22.000 Look, they're amazing.

00:11:23.000 If you want to lose weight, you got to go to myphdweightloss.com.

00:11:26.000 I was just texting with Dr. Ashley Lucas today.

00:11:28.000 If you're ready to lose weight for the last time, call 864-644-1900.

00:11:32.000 Go online at myphdweightloss.com.

00:11:34.000 Do what I did and what hundreds of my listeners have done and called today, 864-644-1900.

00:11:40.000 I recommend their program.

00:11:41.000 Dr. Ashley Lucas has her PhD in chronic disease and sports nutrition.

00:11:45.000 Her program is based on years of research and is science-based.

00:11:48.000 Second, the PhD program starts nutrition, but it's so much more.

00:11:51.000 Go to myphdweightloss.com, myphdweightloss.com.

00:11:55.000 Glade 64644-1900.

00:11:58.000 I lost over 30 pounds.

00:11:59.000 Dr. Ashley Lucas, great American.

00:12:01.000 Check it out.

00:12:01.000 Myphdweightloss.com.

00:12:05.000 Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson continues.

00:12:07.000 I think it'd be really helpful, Mark, if you told our audience your story.

00:12:10.000 It's a true story of a grassroots citizen who is now on the national stage.

00:12:15.000 Well, I have a very non-traditional root into politics.

00:12:20.000 I have a very non-traditional root into politics, and some folks will have a very non-traditional upbringing.

00:12:27.000 I'm number nine of 10 children born.

00:12:30.000 Our family was extremely impoverished by American standards, of course, but not by world standards.

00:12:36.000 We did eat every day.

00:12:37.000 We had a home.

00:12:39.000 But my father was an alcoholic.

00:12:42.000 He was very abusive towards my mother.

00:12:44.000 He died when I was 12 years old.

00:12:48.000 And my mother was largely responsible for my upbringing.

00:12:52.000 My mom had a big choice when my dad died.

00:12:54.000 She could have sat home and accepted the gifts of the government, so to speak, welfare, or go to work. 0.99

00:13:01.000 If my mom went to work, and I watched my mom as a young kid, I watched my mom walk to work to the university to go to work as a custodian to provide for us. 0.93

00:13:12.000 And it set a standard in my life that let me know that it's up to me.

00:13:15.000 It's not up to the federal government.

00:13:17.000 It's not up to the state government, county government.

00:13:19.000 It's up to me to take care of my family because that's exactly what my mom did.

00:13:24.000 I spent a little bit of time in the United States military in the Army Reserves.

00:13:29.000 I was what's called a medical specialist in 91A10, part of an ambulance company out of Winston-Salem.

00:13:34.000 That was a great time in my life, but I didn't choose to make the military career.

00:13:38.000 I was honorably discharged around 1990, 91, somewhere around there.

00:13:44.000 And then I went into furniture manufacturing.

00:13:47.000 I spent about a total of 20 years in furniture manufacturing altogether, three different places.

00:13:53.000 Two of those places I had first place I had to leave because of NAFTA.

00:13:58.000 NAFTA just destroyed the wages.

00:14:01.000 The second place I went, I worked for about 10 years and NAFTA struck again and shut that place down and it moved down south down to Mexico.

00:14:11.000 And then I was at the final place where I worked, which that's where I gave that speech in front of the city council.

00:14:18.000 It went viral.

00:14:19.000 Been seen by 200 to 300 million people all around the globe.

00:14:24.000 And that's when folks called for me to run for office.

00:14:26.000 And ultimately, we decided to do that.

00:14:28.000 We picked the lieutenant governor's spot.

00:14:30.000 We won a nine-way primary.

00:14:32.000 We won our general.

00:14:33.000 Here we are.

00:14:33.000 That is just incredible.

00:14:35.000 What makes North Carolina such a unique battleground state?

00:14:38.000 What is it about the Tarheel state that just always tends to be so close and so split ticket?

00:14:45.000 Well, you know, North Carolina has always been unique.

00:14:49.000 And North Carolina, I say this at the behest of maybe making some of my conservative friends angry.

00:14:56.000 North Carolina has always been a very moderate southern state.

00:15:00.000 Its history has been a history of being very moderate.

00:15:04.000 But this state right now is poised to go all red.

00:15:08.000 And I'll tell you why.

00:15:10.000 North Carolina prior to 2010 was $3.4 billion in debt to the federal government.

00:15:15.000 We were furloughing state workers because we couldn't afford to pay.

00:15:18.000 Teacher pay was frozen for an entire six years.

00:15:22.000 And no one wanted to come to North Carolina to do business because taxes were too high and regulations were too stiff.

00:15:28.000 We had a Republican takeover of our legislature in 2010.

00:15:33.000 And now today we find ourselves not only not in debt to the federal government, we also have a $5 billion surplus.

00:15:40.000 Teachers are getting raises.

00:15:41.000 State troopers are getting raises.

00:15:44.000 We're the number one business destination in the nation, two years running.

00:15:48.000 Everybody wants to come here to North Carolina to do business.

00:15:51.000 We're firing on all soons, but we have a grand opportunity right now to really grow our economy, to supercharge it, to make ourselves into the economic superpower we can be. 0.56

00:16:03.000 And I think that's one of the reasons why this thing is going to be focused on in this race because we're at a crossroads.

00:16:12.000 Are we going to go left?

00:16:12.000 Are we going to go the way in California?

00:16:14.000 Are we going to go the way of Florida or Texas?

00:16:17.000 or Arkansas or other conservative states.

00:16:19.000 I would submit to you that the people of North Carolina are ready to make that right turn right into a right future.

00:16:26.000 It really is a tipping point question.

00:16:28.000 How can people support you?

00:16:29.000 What is your website?

00:16:30.000 I know that you're going to be significantly outspent.

00:16:33.000 How can people get behind you?

00:16:35.000 We're at MarkRobinson for NC.

00:16:37.000 That's MarkRobinson, F-O-R-N-C.com.

00:16:41.000 They can go to our website there, learn more about our campaign, of course, do the things they need to do thereof.

00:16:47.000 Mark, great work.

00:16:49.000 We have your back.

00:16:49.000 Thank you so much.

00:16:50.000 We have your website URL up on screen.

00:16:52.000 Thank you.

00:16:53.000 Thank you, sir.

00:16:54.000 We appreciate everything you do.

00:16:55.000 Thank you.

00:16:58.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:17:00.000 What an unbelievable start to 2024.

00:17:02.000 We had last month saving babies with pre-born by providing ultrasounds.

00:17:06.000 And we're doing again this year what we did last year.

00:17:08.000 We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.

00:17:13.000 As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.

00:17:19.000 Your gift to pre-born will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice. 0.53

00:17:25.000 $280 can save 10 babies.

00:17:27.000 $28 a month can save a baby a month all year long.

00:17:31.000 And a $15,000 gift will provide a complete ultrasound machine that will save thousands of babies for years and years to come.

00:17:37.000 And will also save moms from a lifetime of pain and regret.

00:17:40.000 Call 833-850-2229.

00:18:01.000 Joining us now to help me understand the Robert Hur saga, because I haven't had a chance to watch it as we've been live on air, is producer Andrew.

00:18:08.000 Andrew, what's been going on here, reminder audience?

00:18:10.000 Who is special counsel her and why is it significant?

00:18:14.000 Yeah, so special counsel Robert Hurr was appointed to investigate the classified documents handling thereof of President Joe Biden.

00:18:26.000 And he was a former U.S. attorney in Maryland appointed by Donald Trump.

00:18:34.000 And Merrick Garland appointed him to look into the classified documents scandal of Joe Biden.

00:18:42.000 And obviously, he issued a long report where he did not pursue charges against President Joe Biden and basically said that he was an elderly man that had memory issues.

00:18:57.000 And this became a massive, massive story that we basically have an official DOJ document authorized from the very top of the DOJ that says that our sitting president has memory issues, that he's an elderly man with mental acuity problems and memory lapses.

00:19:16.000 And this then led to a whole bunch of other questions.

00:19:19.000 And so now he's testifying before the House.

00:19:23.000 And it's been an absolute mess.

00:19:26.000 It's been an absolute mess.

00:19:27.000 But one of the more intriguing parts of this, Charlie, is that just hours before testifying, Robert Hur resigned from the Department of Justice.

00:19:37.000 So he is now a private citizen.

00:19:40.000 And why that is important?

00:19:41.000 So he's represented by a private attorney that's sitting alongside him.

00:19:45.000 Why that's important, and people need to understand this, is that if he was still an employee of the Department of Justice, he would have had to get his testimony approved by the DOJ before his test before testifying. 0.71

00:19:59.000 So, what this means is he's essentially completely green.

00:20:04.000 He has a green light to say whatever he feels is the truth, and he's not going to be corralled by his handlers at the Department of Justice.

00:20:13.000 That is obviously Joe Biden's Department of Justice.

00:20:16.000 So, we're getting a pretty unvarnished look at what Robert Hurt actually thinks.

00:20:21.000 Now, here's the other rub: both sides are unhappy, right?

00:20:26.000 The Republicans wanted Joe Biden to be prosecuted, similar to the way that President Trump has been prosecuted by Jack Smith in Florida over his documents and his handling of classified documents.

00:20:38.000 And that didn't happen.

00:20:39.000 Robert Hurt declined pursuing charges against Joe Biden because he basically had to have a good reason.

00:20:46.000 His reason was he's got a bad memory.

00:20:49.000 And so, the Republicans are not happy about that.

00:20:51.000 Now, Democrats are not happy about it either because they just said that the sitting president, the leader of the free world, has is so mentally challenged, has such a mental acuity problem that he's not fit to be prosecuted.

00:21:07.000 So, obviously, that raises the question: if he's not fit to be prosecuted, then he's not fit to be president.

00:21:12.000 And so, President Biden has denied the framing of his memory and his mental acuity.

00:21:17.000 He said he's sharp.

00:21:19.000 Everybody's going to be pointing to the State of the Union speech where they say he was 10 out of 10 on fire after they shot him up with whatever they shot him up with.

00:21:28.000 And so, that then begs the question: well, if he is mentally sharp, as the Democrats say, then why not prosecute him?

00:21:35.000 Because one of the things we learned here was that he Robert Hurr says that he absolutely is not exonerating President Biden.

00:21:43.000 This is not an exoneration.

00:21:45.000 He intentionally did not use those words.

00:21:47.000 And we've got a great, great clip that we can play with Rep Jaipal to this effect, Cut 54, if the student wants to get that ready.

00:21:55.000 Let's get Cut 54. 0.75

00:21:57.000 That was super helpful, Andrew.

00:21:59.000 And then they say that, oh, he's exonerated.

00:22:02.000 I even learned a lot there.

00:22:03.000 I have a question.

00:22:03.000 Play Cut 54.

00:22:04.000 So, this lengthy, expensive, and independent investigation resulted in a complete exoneration of President Joe Biden.

00:22:10.000 For every document you discussed in your report, you found insufficient evidence that the president violated any laws about possession or retention of classified materials.

00:22:20.000 I need to go back and make sure that I take note of the word that you used, exoneration.

00:22:25.000 That is, I'm going to continue with my questions.

00:22:29.000 I'm going to continue with my questions.

00:22:30.000 I know that the term whether sufficient evidence existed such that the likely outcome of the conviction.

00:22:39.000 Willful retention has a potential.

00:22:41.000 Mr. Hur, it's my time.

00:22:43.000 That's pretty feisty for her. 1.00

00:22:45.000 And I just, so can we speculate why did he resign from the DOJ?

00:22:49.000 Just that he wanted to be able to give a truthful testimony?

00:22:52.000 And is it possible that her wanted to bring this case forward, was afraid that it would either lose with a DC jury or that the powers at B would squash you from DOJ?

00:23:02.000 I mean, I'm getting those vibes from her.

00:23:04.000 Well, so here's their, I think the Democrats are assuming that he is a partisan actor and that he wanted to resign from the DOJ so that he could essentially really go for the jugular here.

00:23:18.000 And there are a few other clips that we need to play that would suggest that the Democrats and their suspicions could be at least partly right.

00:23:26.000 I think Hur has taken so much criticism for this report.

00:23:30.000 I would think he wanted the unvarnished truth.

00:23:32.000 He wanted the opportunity to say what was really what he believed is the truth.

00:23:37.000 And that's that, you know, essentially, he did not pursue charges because Joe Biden is not fit to be prosecuted.

00:23:44.000 I think that is genuinely his only leg to stand on.

00:23:47.000 And so he needed a clear lane to defend his reputation and say, hey, this is the facts.

00:23:55.000 And there's also more damaging information that we're learning now today.

00:24:00.000 And that's in this Cut 53 in this exchange with Jim Jordan, where he says that the ghostwriter that's responsible for the transcription of the interview with Joe Biden attempted to destroy the interview, the audio from the interview.

00:24:16.000 So these are the types of, and we can play this clip 53, it's powerful, but these are the types of, you know, pieces of evidence that you wonder, would you have heard if he was being controlled by the upper echelon at the Department of Justice?

00:24:30.000 We really don't know.

00:24:30.000 But right now, he's free to say whatever he thinks he should say.

00:24:35.000 So that's quite something.

00:24:36.000 But if we want to play 53, I think.

00:24:38.000 Yeah, let's play CUP 53.

00:24:40.000 Mr. Hur, what did that ghost writer do with the information Joe Biden shared with him on his laptop?

00:24:46.000 What did he do after you were named special counsel?

00:24:50.000 Chairman, if you're referring to the audio recordings that Mr. Zwanitzer created of his conversations with his recycled bin on his computer.

00:25:06.000 Tried to destroy the evidence, didn't he?

00:25:07.000 Correct.

00:25:09.000 So who is it?

00:25:10.000 Who are they accusing of trying to destroy the evidence?

00:25:12.000 Joe Biden?

00:25:13.000 So the ghostwriter that was basically getting those interview, the audio from the interview with Joe Biden, he tried to, so when they were having the preliminary conversation with Joe Biden about these documents, and again, this is the evidence that leads Robert Hurr ultimately to say he had poor memory.

00:25:33.000 This is at least part of the evidence.

00:25:35.000 The ghostwriter tried to delete and destroy the evidence.

00:25:38.000 So, you know, they, so Blake's got a note here.

00:25:43.000 The narrative of Hurr's report in this hearing is that Biden kept classified docs so that he could make his memoirs better.

00:25:50.000 So that's going to be the counterpoint from the Democrats.

00:25:54.000 That's why he was keeping classified documents.

00:25:58.000 And Robert Hurr is saying, well, you did keep classified documents.

00:26:02.000 You absolutely did.

00:26:03.000 And you did it intentionally as a private citizen, but I'm not going to prosecute you because of your poor memory.

00:26:09.000 But this evidence that's been, that was attempted to be deleted is part of what is now being subpoenaed.

00:26:18.000 They want to get that entire transcript because it's going to underscore Robert Hurd's findings, presumably, that Joe Biden has a poor memory and he's lacking sufficient mental acuity to be prosecuted.

00:26:30.000 So this is that central tension in this question.

00:26:33.000 Either way, it's a massive PR loss for Joe Biden.

00:26:36.000 And I think, you know, if you're a cynic, then you would say Robert Hur knows that prosecuting a sitting president is probably a fool's errand, but telling the world that he's lacking mental acuity is probably the biggest shot across the bow you could have in a short amount of time before November.

00:26:52.000 And also, isn't it basically the argument that Hurr thought that Joe Biden could have won at trial because he could have just claimed mental problem, like mental acuity issues, essentially?

00:27:04.000 That's the legal rationale.

00:27:06.000 That's exactly the legal.

00:27:07.000 That's what makes Robert Hurr basically his findings that I'm not going to prosecute Joe Biden.

00:27:12.000 That's the leg he's standing on.

00:27:13.000 It's like this wouldn't succeed because he's an old elderly man who can't remember anything. 0.99

00:27:18.000 So that's, but I, but, but I'm, I'm sort of looking between the lines here.

00:27:22.000 And if you're Robert Hurr, if you are a partisan, if I'm being a cynic, then this could be the most damage you could inflict upon Joe Biden in a short term.

00:27:31.000 But we have no reason to think that Robert Hurr is that partisan as the Democrats are making him out to be.

00:27:37.000 You know, he's he seems to be a man of integrity, an honest broker here, but the Democrats certainly want to paint him as a partisan actor in all of this.

00:27:46.000 Yeah, I mean, I guess you can't have it both ways.

00:27:48.000 You can't say, you know, too old to stand trial, but not too old to be president, right?

00:27:53.000 You can't have it both ways, I suppose.

00:27:56.000 Yeah, that's the central tension here.

00:27:57.000 But I mean, it's there's a couple other clips that I think that are really telling in all of this, if we have enough time.

00:28:05.000 The basically Cut 50 is probably the whole case laid out if we want to play that.

00:28:11.000 Okay, let's play Cut 50.

00:28:13.000 My team and I conducted a thorough, independent investigation.

00:28:17.000 We identified evidence that the president willfully retained classified materials after the end of his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.

00:28:26.000 This evidence included an audio-recorded conversation during which Mr. Biden told his ghostwriter that he had, quote, just found all the classified stuff downstairs, end quote.

00:28:37.000 When Mr. Biden said this, he was a private citizen speaking to his ghostwriter in his private rental home in Virginia.

00:28:45.000 We also identified other recorded conversations during which Mr. Biden read classified information aloud to his ghostwriter.

00:28:52.000 That's pretty damning.

00:28:53.000 Yeah, it's also Trump is also currently under indictment for classified documents.

00:28:58.000 No, exactly.

00:28:59.000 No, and so you see that you see the two-tier justice system at play here.

00:29:03.000 Trump is getting is facing 700 plus years in federal prison, meanwhile, Joe Biden gets off scot-free with having a poor memory.

00:29:10.000 Now, again, you know, it's a PR disaster for the Biden White House because it plays into a narrative that all of us can see with our own eyes that he's lost his edge.

00:29:20.000 He's lost his ability to properly run the country.

00:29:23.000 But it's also infuriating, and you can see why both sides are upset because he should be prosecuted.

00:29:29.000 He knowingly handled classified documents and shared them with his ghostwriter of a memoir.

00:29:35.000 So it's pretty infuriating either way you look at it.

00:29:37.000 And welcome to America, I guess.

00:30:46.000 Andrew, this is incredibly significant.

00:30:49.000 And it turns out that the United Kingdom is ahead of us as far as protecting their children.

00:30:53.000 Yeah, I mean, really significant.

00:30:56.000 I can't overstate how big of a deal this is.

00:31:00.000 And I think you're going to see this trend follow.

00:31:02.000 You know, you're going to see this happen in other countries across Europe.

00:31:06.000 And what's interesting is what you said before.

00:31:08.000 We look at Europe as this liberal, progressive bastion, if you're a Democrat in America, especially.

00:31:13.000 And the truth is much more complicated.

00:31:15.000 They are more tied to tradition and the old, the tried, the true, in a lot of ways than America.

00:31:23.000 America is a country of fads, of crazes.

00:31:28.000 There's a lot of just energy, kinetic energy in America that Europe doesn't necessarily have.

00:31:33.000 They have a sense of tradition and of what's gone before them simply by their architecture, by the, we call it the old world for a reason.

00:31:40.000 And they're not as prone to some of the swings that we are in America.

00:31:44.000 And you're seeing that now in, I think, this NHS decision to stop prescribing puberty blockers to minors.

00:31:52.000 So this is a massive, massive move. 0.99

00:31:54.000 Hopefully we will adopt that here.

00:31:56.000 Certainly, we've been a part of the movement to push back against this craziness.

00:32:00.000 But I mean, this is fantastic news, and hopefully it spreads.

00:32:05.000 Yeah.

00:32:05.000 And the question is: you know, will we have the political will to do this in this country?

00:32:11.000 And we just revealed what WPATH was doing, and they call you transphobic.

00:32:15.000 And they say that you are getting in the way of gender-affirming care.

00:32:19.000 The only cynicism I have, and the reason they're able to do this at NANHS, is that they have universal health care.

00:32:24.000 So it's just kind of the top way it is.

00:32:26.000 We have so many private actors.

00:32:28.000 I'm not advocating for universal health care, but we have so many private actors that are making billions of dollars on the mutilation of children.

00:32:35.000 How do we unwind that?

00:32:36.000 Well, I think you got to start at the state level, and then you've got to use some lawfare, right?

00:32:41.000 The left is doing this.

00:32:42.000 We had the Attorney General of Tennessee on yesterday.

00:32:46.000 They're now gathered 16 states to sue the state of Maine, but Maine is being really creative.

00:32:51.000 They're making it so that if you're sort of, you could be now liable in a legal sense if you're not prescribing or treating gender dysphoric youth with some of these what they call gender-affirming care practices.

00:33:08.000 So Maine is making it so that we're now liable in other states outside of Maine.

00:33:12.000 Well, why don't we flip the script and start suing some of these states for mutilating kids? 0.86

00:33:17.000 So I think it's a two-fold.

00:33:19.000 You got to start at the state level.

00:33:20.000 State AGs need to start protecting innocent kids. 0.60

00:33:23.000 And then you need to start suing the states like California and Maine that are getting a little bit too out over their skis.

00:33:29.000 And I think eventually you create so much liability in the system that the health providers are going to start feeling a little bit cautious about treating minors with this stuff.

00:33:41.000 If you look at, you call it the sexual culture war, you look at the sexual revolution, gay marriage, abortion.

00:33:47.000 This is the first time we're really starting to see massive backlash against one of these issues, especially with children.

00:33:55.000 It is losing across the board.

00:33:57.000 And I think President Trump should embrace it.

00:33:58.000 Joe Biden is all in on the mutilation of children, on the castration of kids.

00:34:04.000 I mean, that would be a, if they end up debating, it would be a very powerful debate moment for Donald Trump to say that you are okay, Joe Biden, with stuff that the United Kingdom is not even okay with, which is castrating kids, sterilizing them, puberty blockers.

00:34:18.000 I think it's a winning political issue.

00:34:20.000 I really do.

00:34:21.000 Yeah.

00:34:22.000 We should start, honestly, we should start suing doctors.

00:34:25.000 We should start going after the doctors that push this stuff.

00:34:29.000 And again, you make it so painful.

00:34:31.000 You should make it so painful and expensive to even set foot in this area of medicine that we really get some wins and that they'll just be more reticent to even try it to begin with.

00:34:42.000 And I think you could get 80% of the way there just with lawfare.

00:34:46.000 There's a new wing at Mayo Clinic for just mutilating children.

00:34:50.000 There's a lot of money to be made, but the message needs to get out.

00:34:52.000 If you mutilate kids, you will go to jail and it will be retroactive.

00:34:55.000 Doesn't matter if it was legal at the time.

00:34:57.000 They need to go to jail if you touch and chop off kids' parts. 0.99
