00:02:44.000So, but what's interesting, seven days out, is you're getting all this poll, you know, headwinds, tailwinds, whichever side of the aisle you're on.
00:02:55.000The Democrats are getting into a frenzy.
00:02:58.000They are looking at the polling and they're chomping at the bit.
00:04:14.000What's interesting here is he says that our elections are super secure and they're safe, not in the way that we think of elections being safe.
00:04:24.000He's saying that they're safe because ICE won't be there.
00:04:28.000Now, If you are coming to the same conclusion that I came to, I'm not sure why an American citizen would be that concerned with ICE being president of the election.
00:04:37.000They say this all the time that having ICE at polling places would intimidate voters, that having ICE investigate people in the lead up to the election, they say this all the time.
00:04:47.000They're just nakedly throwing out there the left's agenda is it's not that they want to stop illegals from voting, they want it to be so easy and routine that afterwards they can throw up their hands and say, Are you going to throw 50,000 people in prison?
00:05:11.000Is it maybe because illegals are voting?
00:05:14.000Is it maybe because people that don't speak English think that they can vote?
00:05:19.000That's what's interesting because Zoran then comes out with an advertisement promoting, in Spanish, by the way, people to come out and vote.
00:05:59.000So just so all those Somalis that don't speak our language, that apparently at a clip of about 80% are on welfare, many of them defrauding welfare, some of the highest rates of fraud in the country.
00:06:10.000We're encouraging them to determine the future of Western civilization.
00:06:14.000And we're making sure that the Somali community, which votes in block for Democrat, is ready to go.
00:07:08.000And it's going to take some time to rebuild the reputation of the Justice Department, given all of the power that this Supreme Court has given to the executive branch.
00:07:17.000You can certainly make huge personnel changes within the Justice Department.
00:07:21.000All those people who Harmite Dillon has hired, for instance, in the Civil Rights Division and turned around what the historic mission of that division has been, they got to go.
00:07:42.000The power that the Supreme Court has given to the executive branch, to the president, has got to be used by.
00:07:47.000Hopefully, the next Democratic president to restore some sense of order, balance, and the norms that have governed the Justice Department for decades.
00:08:56.000They used to promise, oh, we'll put Trump in jail.
00:08:59.000Now they're very openly saying, Anyone who works for Trump will go to jail.
00:09:03.000Anyone who enforces our nation's laws will go to jail.
00:09:06.000They want the worst anarcho tyranny imaginable, where you can be a gangbanger who breaks into this country and rapes and shoots and robs people, and you face no accountability.
00:09:16.000But if you tried to arrest that person to deport them, you have to worry about going to prison for life.
00:09:20.000They want to make it impossible to have laws in this country.
00:09:23.000Well, and we are getting new reports out of New York that different DAs are actually instructing their offices to downgrade and reclassify crimes of illegal immigrants.
00:09:50.000Listen to John Ossoff, who many consider to be the frontrunner for president, believe it or not, in 2028, at least for the Democratic ticket.
00:10:04.000Of what everybody knows is the most corrupt presidential administration in American history.
00:10:11.000The priorities of oversight must be the misuse of public funds, the shocking conflicts of interest, the president and first families' self enrichment.
00:10:21.000And should impeachment be considered on the table, off the table?
00:10:26.000Well, in my view, the president's misconduct has already exceeded any prior standard for impeachment.
00:10:34.000If the House sends the Senate, Articles of impeachment, then I'll consider them on the merits as a juror.
00:10:53.000Like, that might be one of the better potential outcomes here that they come in for two years and waste their time, impeach Trump every month, turn impeachment into a complete running joke.
00:11:03.000That's actually a fairly good outcome compared to what they could do because what they're.
00:11:10.000It would be a lot better for them to be doing that than for them to be systematically defunding and gutting DOJ because it dares to defend white people or gutting ICE because it dares to deport people.
00:11:22.000That is what a really serious Democratic Party could do.
00:11:25.000They could do permanent damage to our ability to have actual justice and laws in this country.
00:12:07.000But what you see when you look around the landscape is that the Democrat Party is getting increasingly brazen, increasingly confident, and they will follow through.
00:12:18.000Unlike some of our squishes on the Republican side, these people are maniacs.
00:12:22.000They will look to throw their political opposition in prison.
00:12:59.000I think a lot of people, sadly, the general public does not have long memories.
00:13:03.000And so, everyone, most people prefer to have total amnesia for COVID, forget that it happened.
00:13:08.000But they also just prefer to forget about, or they just genuinely forget about, everything we had to go through in 2021, 2022, or for that matter, the first Trump term.
00:13:35.000In Britain, they're now rolling out respect orders where if you're not respecting people the right way, they can ban you from public places.
00:13:43.000They can basically just take away your rights.
00:13:46.000Left would 100% roll that out here if they can get away with it.
00:13:49.000Well, speaking of bringing back things, Assam Piker is back.
00:13:52.000I don't know why they thought this was a good idea, but apparently this is from the I am the captain now guy.
00:14:03.000Anyways, he's got a podcast and says, I'm the host now, is the name of the podcast.
00:14:07.000And they did sort of a live event with Ilhan Omar and Hassan Piker.
00:14:11.000And so that streamer from California that El Sayed doesn't like to talk about, well, he was back last night and he was asked what stuck out to him the most when it came to the Minneapolis Ice raids, which was much celebrated on their side.
00:17:42.000We'll give you everything you need to know at voteready.com.
00:17:46.000Make sure that people like Angie Nixon never see the inside of a Capitol Hill office.
00:17:54.000Microplastics are becoming too much of a problem to ignore.
00:17:58.000They're in 94% of U.S. drinking water, 94%, 90% of our meat and seafood, and the average American inhales, get this, 68,000 microplastic particles each and every single day.
00:18:12.000The EPA recently decided not to include microplastics in the next nationwide drinking water monitoring program, meaning we likely won't have updated data for years.
00:18:22.000Even as microplastic exposure continues to rise, scientists have already found microplastics in our blood, our arteries, and even our brains.
00:18:31.000The good news is, That new research suggests there are ways to help your body fight back.
00:18:36.000Certain probiotic strains found in kimchi have demonstrated the ability to not only remove toxins like BPA, new research is also exploring how these same beneficial bacteria help bind and excrete microplastics before they can do further damage to your body.
00:18:53.000Kimchi is one of the world's most powerful superfoods, but its strong taste and smell can make daily use, daily intake a challenge.
00:20:20.000We're about to speak with the one and only Steve Hilton, who's a great friend of the show, and he's running to be California's next governor.
00:21:07.000It was an amazing crowd and it's been like this everywhere.
00:21:11.000I mean, that's, this is the biggest one we've had.
00:21:13.000The first of our California back rallies.
00:21:17.000We've got another one today in Orange County, Wednesday in tomorrow in LA, Thursday in Fresno, Friday in Sacramento, the weekend in LA again.
00:21:26.000You know, we're really going for it and we're getting the energy back.
00:21:32.000You've got, well, actually, I'm going to say there are three things going on in this race right now.
00:21:36.000You've got the establishment polls, the ones that have been polling California for years and they're giving the same result we've had for years because they have a certain model of turnout.
00:21:45.000Which assumes a low Republican turnout.
00:21:47.000And so when you look at some of those polls, it's still the big lead that we've had for years for Democrats in California, for 20 years or more, you know, 20 point lead.
00:21:57.000There was one that had a 27 point lead for Becerra.
00:22:02.000Then you've got another set of polls, which you could consider to be the kind of ones that are commissioned right now in the moment.
00:22:09.000The California Post had one the other day, the ones that we're commissioning, some of the ballot initiative campaigns, they are all telling a very different story.
00:22:20.000But less than half what the establishment polls are showing six points, eight points, 10 points, 12 points.
00:22:27.000Still the Democrat ahead, but by about half as much.
00:22:31.000And then the third thing is what you see there in that crowd and all over the state.
00:22:36.000And every single day, I got people coming up to me saying, I'm a lifelong Democrat, but this year I'm voting for you because we got to have a change in California.
00:22:45.000A lot of those people, by the way, saying, I'm not telling anyone that I'm voting for you.
00:22:59.000We think that to win this election, not just to do well, but to win, I'll need 6 million votes.
00:23:05.000In 2024, President Trump got 6.1 million in California without even really campaigning here.
00:23:13.000So, the very simple truth is that if everybody who voted Republican in 2024 turns out this year, now that's a big ask because obviously you don't get a presidential year turnout usually in a midterm.
00:23:29.000And that's why everyone watching and listening, all the turning point energy and the chapters and all of that, we got to get people to don't believe it's absolutely right.
00:23:39.000Don't believe that this race can't be won.
00:23:43.000There's a majority of Californians who want change.
00:23:46.000But if we vote, everyone shows up and then gets all their friends, does ballot harvesting, all those things that the left do, we really can win this election.
00:24:13.000Every inch of America is still America, all right?
00:24:15.000Even when the communists are running it.
00:24:17.000And then, secondly, there are these terrible ideas that emerge from places like California, like the wealth tax, which is on the ballot, which is like, you know, just a percent of a billionaire's wealth.
00:24:28.000And it was supposed to just be, apparently, it's just an extortion attempt by the SEIU where they'll say, oh, we'll threaten you with this wealth tax if you don't get concessions, except it's gotten out of control and now it's probably going to pass.
00:24:42.000I mean, it's already exactly as you say it's confiscation, it's arbitrary confiscation.
00:24:47.000The government just deciding on a particular day to take 5% of your actual wealth, the government coming, valuing your home, your possessions, anything you own, and then taking 5% of it.
00:25:11.000They can change the percentage, they can change the threshold.
00:25:14.000As everyone always points out, it starts with the billionaires and then it gets lower and lower until it's basically anyone they want to feed their bottomless money pit.
00:25:23.000Now, already we have the highest taxes in the country.
00:25:26.000Already the top 1% of Californians' earners pay about 50% of the income tax.
00:25:33.000So, this argument that the rich don't pay their fair share is completely ridiculous.
00:25:37.000And already, just the threat of this insane tax, because it's on top of everything else, retrospective.
00:25:44.000So it kicks in at the beginning of 2026.
00:25:47.000So already huge numbers of entrepreneurs and wealth creators have left California.
00:25:52.000So we've already lost billions of dollars in tax revenue just through the threat of it.
00:26:01.000It does look, however, as if it's not doing that well.
00:26:05.000And the encouraging thing is there are a couple of initiatives on the ballot that would invalidate it poison pills, if you like, and they look like they are doing well.
00:26:17.000We can one way or another defeat this insanity.
00:26:20.000But it's crazy that it's gotten to this point at all, Steve.
00:26:23.000I mean, the state is just so poorly managed and mismanaged, really.
00:26:29.000And that's kind of, you know, I look at New York, you look at Illinois, you look at California as these cautionary tales, these canaries in the coal mine.
00:26:38.000But if they can turn around, then there's hope for us all, right?
00:26:45.000And I do believe that the pure politics of it, as you mentioned, There is a majority of Californians that know the state is headed in the wrong direction.
00:26:55.000There is a majority, a clear majority.
00:27:24.000Reports from congressional races and state legislative races in California that I'm running 10 to 15 points ahead of the regular Republican candidate.
00:27:36.000In that sense, we're already lifting up people down the ballot, which I'm very proud to do.
00:27:40.000I've always seen this as a team effort.
00:27:43.000But that's really the focus of the campaign.
00:28:18.000But we went there to make the point, very simple point.
00:28:21.000Are you really saying, California, that you're prepared to put up with another four years of all of this because you don't like Trump or you can't bring yourself to vote Republican?
00:28:36.000It's just, it really is just that scarlet letter.
00:28:40.000I think there's no red states that have just voted Republican for decades and they're completely failing as a result of it and unable to meet basic needs.
00:28:50.000And so, but people are just in denial and they keep voting red.
00:28:53.000But every deep blue jurisdiction is like this.
00:28:56.000Everyone knows California has massively screwed itself up compared to 30 years ago, 40 years ago, 50 years ago.
00:29:03.000Everyone knows New York is losing it, that they're shedding every industry.
00:29:07.000Everyone is bailing on blue states and they just.
00:29:10.000It's like they need to overcome this psychological block that, oh, wait, us being radical Democrats is what has done this.
00:29:17.000Yes, and that's the point we make the whole time.
00:29:19.000I mean, I make it in every event, which is the most damning indictment of these 16 years of one party rule is the fact that millions of people have left and are leaving a state as beautiful and amazing as California.
00:29:33.000And as I put it, they're not fleeing Trump, they're fleeing Democrat policies, and they are moving.
00:31:35.000We think nowadays it's because California's decayed so much.
00:31:39.000We think of either, you know, obviously all of the like ethnic ghettos, places no one speaks English and all of that, or you think of the ultra rich.
00:31:47.000You think of it's this playground for celebrities.
00:31:50.000But what California was in the 20th century was the greatest place in the history of the world to be a lower middle class person.
00:34:23.000They believe in seizing the means of production, in confiscation, in coercion, in the weaponization of the Justice Department, in stacking the courts, in rigging the game, in cheating, letting illegals vote.
00:34:38.000Decriminalizing crime, letting illegals run rampant all over the streets, reclassifying crime so they don't get deported.
00:34:55.000I was wondering, because I'm a younger voter, and a lot of us want to see the Democratic Party move forward.
00:35:01.000Where do you see, I guess, the Democratic Party going?
00:35:04.000I think it's, I mean, I think no one is arguing to manage the status quo or bail more efficiently.
00:35:10.000So I think that the DSA, the energy and the desire and demand for bold change, non-incremental change, is very much going to be the dominant.
00:35:20.000I mean, that's going to be mainstream democratic.
00:36:14.000They want to spend $70 trillion on health care in the next 10 years on top of current levels of spending, I guess, minus the military, because they're probably going to abolish that.
00:36:37.000They are not, they find it icky to want the best for this country.
00:36:42.000Where do you think that's going to lead?
00:36:43.000I think we all know exactly where it goes.
00:36:46.000When people overtly say they do not like this country, they do not want good things to happen to this country or its people, you do need to believe them.
00:37:09.000So when you bring in industries, by the way, Georgia with Hollywood, Texas with tech, don't be surprised when those bad ideas start infesting your state as well.
00:37:19.000But they are a horde of locusts that go and consume everything that they touch.
00:37:29.000I don't know if it's resentment or class envy.
00:37:32.000The downwardly mobile elites, it's probably some.
00:37:36.000Confluence of all of those mixed in with anti Christian bias, anti white bias, but they want to ruin this country and they are hell bent on doing it and they've got a lot of momentum towards such an end.
00:39:25.000An important message from Noble Gold Investments November 3rd, control of Congress is on the line.
00:39:30.000And whatever happens, your savings are going to feel it.
00:39:34.000If Democrats take power, we could be looking at years of gridlock, followed by the same policies that fueled inflation before more spending, bigger deficits, and a weaker dollar.
00:41:38.000But in 2022, the same day, it was D plus 2.
00:41:42.000So that means a shift in our favor of R plus 2.6.
00:41:45.000Now, let me just say, but Tyler, that's not enough because you cannot predict 2026 based on 2022 because people's voting habits are different.
00:41:56.000We're starting to vote early as a party now.
00:42:03.000So, yeah, so a couple of different things.
00:42:05.000And again, this is Arizona, which is, I think, tip of the spear for a lot of the swing states across the country ahead of 2028.
00:42:12.000But here in Arizona, we have thrown the kitchen sink, obviously, at get out the vote.
00:42:18.000What's important when you look at early ballot returns is to not cannibalize the same voters, right, that you expect to show up on election day versus return early.
00:42:29.000So, Turning point action in Arizona is super focused on getting the same people out that voted early in 2022.
00:42:36.000So we're obsessed with that and not camouflaging our election day voters.
00:42:41.000And then, two, also just getting the low propensity voters out earlier.
00:42:45.000So, what we're seeing in Arizona right now, part of the reason why we're doing better than where we were in 2022 was first off, the establishment put no ground game on the ground for Kerry Lake or Blake Masters in 2022.
00:42:57.000That's part of the reason why we constructed what we did, was because You have to start getting those low props out early.
00:43:04.000We actually have been beating the Democrats at the low prop game.
00:43:07.000That would be like the zero out of four, the one out of four, two out of four, three out of fours.
00:43:37.000So what we track and we look at is what percentage of the daily returns are our people that we're attacking essentially to turn in votes.
00:43:47.000And right now, so this drop that was interesting today that you just mentioned in Maricopa County, over 20% of those people were in the turning point action universe of low prop voters.
00:44:01.000It's a huge sign because that means that, again, you're not cannibalizing.
00:44:05.000Now, the question is left to be determined is the question is left to be determined will your high props still show up on election day, right?
00:44:14.000And so if there's what's good is all the Signs are good right now, which is we're doing our job.
00:44:20.000I would rather be the party that's turning out low props early and then getting high props on election day rather than the opposite, which the Democrats are now trying to do.
00:46:07.000So again, North Carolina and Nevada, two different sides of coins here.
00:46:14.000North Carolina, everyone's dooming and glooming about because we're losing in person voting, the mail in voting is looking terrible and way down for Republicans.
00:46:23.000So those are kind of two different buckets that you look at.
00:46:26.000The Democrats are always historically much better at the mail in voting part, and Republicans have gotten better at the early in person part.
00:46:38.000But what you want to see is a really strong in person early voting number from the Republicans as a percentage, because that is usually an indicator of how your election is.
00:46:48.000Well, because you hear that a lot when you're talking to Republican voters.
00:46:50.000I'm going to drop my ballot off in person.
00:46:58.000You've got to drop it in actual ballot delivery places.
00:47:01.000We cannot turn in your ballot for you.
00:47:03.000So, but that's the indicator that you want to see, you want to look at, especially as you're reading this online, is early in person voting going well for Republicans.
00:47:14.000That's again, usually indicative that we're going to have a stronger election day because people are showing up and they're voting, right?
00:47:21.000Strong percentages early usually indicate strong election day, which is good.
00:47:27.000If you can beat the Democrats at their own game, meaning mail and voting, plus you can beat them obviously in person early and then on election day, that's how you win elections.
00:47:37.000So the good news from Arizona right now is we're beating the Democrats at their own game.
00:48:15.000But early in person, I would much rather those people go out and show up and vote early and bank their vote rather than waiting until election day if we can.
00:48:24.000By the way, when you bank your vote, you get off our list.
00:48:31.000We're not going to keep knocking on your doors.
00:48:33.000So you get it in, we'll leave you alone.
00:48:35.000If you find elections annoying, the fastest way to make them no longer annoying is you vote because we don't want to waste time going after people whose ballot is already secured.
00:48:43.000More important than that, too, is that if they vote early, the earlier you vote, Then that allows people to go chase votes for Election Day all week.
00:48:51.000So, the TP Action app, there's a lot of questions around the TP Action app, Tyler.
00:50:32.000Like, so we've got literally thousands and thousands and thousands of people every single day calling in, making texts.
00:50:40.000Or if you're in any one of those states or your own state, you can just click Chase Ballots, click Voters Near Me, and it's automatically going to send you to houses of Republicans.
00:50:48.000And to get you inspired, Charlie would do that sometimes.
00:50:51.000He'd be at home casually, and he'd get some of those numbers and he'd send those text messages off Hey, this is Charlie.
00:50:56.000I don't even think he would say Charlie Kirk.
00:50:58.000I think he would say, just say, this is Charlie.
00:51:07.000And the fun part is, you can drive anywhere in America, literally anywhere in America on our app, click Voters Near Me, that green button, and you can chase votes anywhere you want.
00:51:17.000So if there's like a special election for a school board in Alaska, you could fly into Alaska, drive to a neighborhood, press Voters Near Me, and start chasing votes.
00:51:27.000So it's a really cool app, really nice because it's basically like the Uber for.
00:51:33.000Ballot chasing for anyone across the country.
00:52:32.000Like my neighbors across the street, when there's two, when you have two people that are over the age of 80 that live in a house, it flags it so you know.
00:52:41.000That there's some seniors that are there.
00:52:44.000There's some that there's little flags that tell you if someone lives internationally.
00:52:48.000So then, if someone in that household is not there, they need to get their early vote in, and their friend or family member that lives there can help remind them.
00:52:56.000So there's lots of little unique things that you become familiar with on there.
00:53:00.000But now, right now, where we have early votes, there's the early vote flag, which means that they have a ballot likely sitting on their counter.
00:53:17.000So that's good, but you know, this is a good opportunity for people to continue to follow up with individuals on the app.
00:53:23.000So tpaction.comslash app, you can download the app, use it today, helping your community or help us in Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire, Iowa, and Wisconsin.
00:53:35.000Yeah, I mean, we need to get out there, be active, don't be a spectator.
00:54:10.000Yeah, I mean, so the Democrats have been hammering this thing about how.
00:54:16.000Young people are swinging all the way to the super left, and you know, they're hot under the collar because they want to defend Palestine or all these crazy things, right?
00:54:26.000Um, I mean, this is really the Palestinian election for the Democrats because in prior years they focused on abortion or they focused on the anti Trump narrative.
00:54:35.000Their only real narrative this year was what the Communist Party tweeted out today was that this is the Zionists must all be jailed and killed or something or whatever their whole thing is.
00:54:45.000Like, I mean, the American Communist Party tweeted that out.
00:54:50.000So, this is an insane time that we're living in.
00:54:53.000I think it's a huge mistake that the Democrats went all in on that marketing aspect because I think, again, most people care about lowering costs, and communism is not going to help lower costs.
00:55:05.000Jihadism isn't going to help lower costs.
00:55:07.000Trannyism isn't going to help lower costs.
00:55:09.000So, that is, I think most young people are like, why would I vote for either of these parties right now?
00:55:43.000But even if there's frustration with Trump, if instead they're just saying it all sucks and I'm checking out, it's kind of like half a vote in our favor.
00:55:51.000Well, what's really important to remember too is we now have a bigger base of young people who are activated.
00:55:57.000So the turning point conservatism that's happened with young people still exists.
00:56:03.000And there was nothing like that in 06 or earlier.
00:56:10.000The undercurrent, I think, of what you could see is that the less that young people show up to vote, the more prominent a conservative tinge will be amongst that group.
00:56:20.000Because, look, most people, most arguments that have been made amongst conservative young people, you know, on stuff is that they're a little bit unsettled because they expected things to be more conservative.
00:56:32.000They're not going to vote for Democrats.
00:56:46.000And so, I mean, there's again a few people on the ballot for people to vote for that are along those lines, but it's Andy Biggs, Tom Tiffany, Zach Lane.
00:56:55.000I mean, Republicans in some of these swing states have a real important voice.
00:57:00.000Tyler Boyer, COO of Turning Point Action, giving you a little white pill here on a Tuesday.
00:57:17.000Plumbers, electricians, builders, and contractors sharing the work they do every day.
00:57:22.000And it went way beyond tips and tricks.
00:57:24.000People were sharing their craft, connecting with local contractors, and talking about how they were building their businesses and growing their teams.
00:57:31.000It opened my eyes to how people in the trades are using TikTok to share their skills, make connections, and find new opportunities.
00:57:37.000I remember thinking, this is exactly what we need more of people sharing what they know and creating opportunities for others.
00:57:43.000And I never expected to find a community like this.
00:57:48.000You start with something you know, and suddenly you're finding a whole new side of it that surprises you and leaves you wanting to know more.
00:57:54.000Your next discovery is waiting for you on TikTok.
00:57:56.000Learn more at TikTok.comslash discover more.
00:58:02.000We've got a great guest in store for you, and that is Nick Freitas.
00:58:05.000But first, I want to tell you about the Charlie Kirk store.
01:01:06.000You know, we want what's best for our people.
01:01:07.000We just have different ideas on how to get there.
01:01:09.000And I stopped saying it toward the end because it wasn't true.
01:01:13.000And if you look at everything from the 1619 Project to Noam Chomsky to Howard Zinn, if you look at all of the denigrating histories of America, which essentially try to revision everything from the perspective of America as the bad guys, it's all coming from the left.
01:01:31.000And you even look at when the left is trying to say something nice about America.
01:01:35.000Michelle Obama actually probably summed it up best.
01:01:38.000She said, For the first time in my adult life, I'm proud to be an American or I'm proud of my country.
01:01:44.000Because Barack Obama was doing well in the polls.
01:01:48.000It's not as if America is this independent idea or culture or civilization that they're proud of and simply want to improve.
01:01:58.000They're only proud of America insofar as they're in charge.
01:02:01.000And if you look at the things that they want and the things that they value, you don't find these things.
01:02:07.000You know, in the Declaration of Independence or in the debates over the Constitution, they largely think those things were just debates among straight white slave owners.
01:02:17.000They want something very, very different.
01:02:18.000And it comes from a Marxist image of the world.
01:02:20.000It comes from a critical theory image of the world.
01:02:23.000And so, no, I don't think it's bizarre to say that the Democratic Party, and it hasn't always been this way, by the way.
01:02:30.000There was a time where you could find plenty of very, very patriotic Democrats.
01:02:34.000And you still probably can among your grandpa or someone like that.
01:02:38.000Among elected Democrats, they don't have a lot of positive things to say about the United States.
01:02:43.000And when 59% of Democrats polled say they have a favorable view of the Democratic Socialists of America, an organization which comes right out and says they essentially want to completely revamp the Constitution to bear no resemblance to what it currently is, then why are we surprised when, yeah, Democrats are not patriotic.
01:03:19.000Our friend Jonathan Kieperman had a good reaction to this where he just said, the easiest, one of the easiest political advantages we should exploit right now is the fact that the left clearly considers it uncouth, ugly, arguably unacceptable to love this country, to like this country.
01:03:37.000And we should 100% take advantage of that because, on a deep level, people who live in this country are generally going to want to like it.
01:03:44.000And if there is one party that just obviously hates the country and the other obviously loves it, That will be to our advantage, which is important because you see, takes even growing nominally with people on the right to bash America to do revisionism where America is the source of all these problems in the world or where us winning World War II was a bad idea.
01:04:04.000No, if we own America, it's great, it's a massive force for good in the world.
01:04:09.000Huge advantage for us that we should take advantage of, that we should exploit while we're able to, but also that it's like it's very terrifying what this means politically because.
01:04:20.000You can see all this rot in the country that is clearly downstream of this.
01:04:25.000When we were talking about the state of California, that they allow Los Angeles or San Francisco or New York to be mired in garbage and filth.
01:04:33.000They let weird vagrant criminals wander around and attack people.
01:04:38.000It's clearly related to that deficit of patriotism because they, on a deep psychological level, don't feel shame or embarrassment that that's happening in their countries, in their cities.
01:04:48.000And instead, they feel it's sort of deserved.
01:05:41.000It's rooted in slavery and bigotry and sexism and racism.
01:05:45.000And the only thing that's going to save it is fundamentally changing it into what?
01:05:48.000Into what the DSA wants, which bears no resemblance to who we are as a people or a country.
01:05:54.000And so, if you don't first diagnose that as the problem and understand that it is systemic within the Democratic Party, well, then you don't understand what battle you're having.
01:06:02.000You don't understand what fight you're having.
01:06:04.000You think you're arguing with a fellow American that basically wants the same things, but wants a slightly bigger welfare state.
01:06:33.000No country has dedicated more time, effort, money, blood, or treasure in trying to expand human freedom, human liberty, human rights, and has done so with demanding so little in return.
01:06:45.000We don't have to apologize to anybody.
01:07:02.000Somebody that actually loves it and wants to make it even better, or somebody that believes that we have to burn it to the ground and replace it with something fundamentally different?
01:07:11.000So, yeah, I think we should lean way into our patriotism.
01:07:14.000Now, it shouldn't be the kind of patriotism where we don't actually talk about real ideas or, more importantly, deliver real results, right?
01:07:23.000It's not just good enough to wave the flag.
01:07:25.000We need to wave the flag in service to something, but it's time that we be bold and unapologetic for who we are as a people and the greatness of our people, as opposed to feeling like we've always got to apologize for something.
01:07:37.000Nick, what do you think is so seductive?
01:07:41.000There is a sense of this setting in on the, especially the online right, where it's trendy in vogue to sort of doom, gloom, and crap on America.
01:07:56.000I think it's predominantly happening with young men.
01:07:59.000And if you think about it, there's a logic to it that actually makes sense.
01:08:02.000If you're a young man that you've grown up in a time where from the time you were in elementary school to the time you graduated college, you were told your masculinity was toxic, especially if you were a straight white man.
01:08:11.000Now you're the source of all the world's evil.
01:08:14.000They're looking around and when they hear we need to preserve our country, they're like, the thing I grew up with was a country where I was constantly denigrated within school, found it difficult to get in college, very difficult to get in a job because of my skin color and my masculinity.
01:08:29.000And now you're telling me to fight for this at a time where I feel like our priorities are off.
01:08:39.000And so I think conservative men need to do a much better job of recognizing how leftism, how feminism infiltrated the church. how it changed the way that we actually talked about things.
01:08:49.000It changed the way we raised both our sons and our daughters.
01:08:52.000We told our sons, you know, just pick yourself up by our bootstraps.
01:08:55.000We raised our daughters to know what to expect from their husbands, but we never raised our daughters to understand what their husbands should be able to expect from them.
01:09:02.000And so it is time that we reclaim what like genuine biblical masculinity is.
01:09:07.000It's time that we claim or reclaim what patriotism really looks like and create the sort of society that it makes it very, very easy to want to defend it.
01:09:14.000I didn't think twice about wanting to go to war on behalf of my country.
01:09:18.000But I also recognize that I grew up in a time where I wasn't being fed this woke nonsense from elementary school.
01:09:24.000And so we need to once again give these young men a vision of what our country is supposed to be, not what woke progressives have turned it into the last several decades.
01:12:04.000And again, it doesn't need to make sense because when you're living in this oppressor-oppressed dynamic, Well, then whoever the oppressors are are the bad guys.
01:12:49.000So say whatever needs to be said at any given time.
01:12:52.000But yeah, the idea that you're going to vote for a guy that campaigns with Hassan Piker because you have a moral obligation to fight against what?
01:13:38.000Arizona's Christ Church of the Valley pastor, one of the largest churches in the nation, he told people to go out and vote, and it caused this big uproar.
01:14:03.000What do we do about the church not voting?
01:14:04.000And what's going to happen to this pastor now that he just encouraged everybody to do the controversial thing of using your constitutional rights?
01:14:12.000Is he going to be disinvited from the convention circuit?
01:14:16.000No, you know who the left doesn't mind?
01:14:18.000When Hillary Clinton shows up to a church in, you know, wherever, South Carolina during primaries, And all of a sudden, gets a black southern accent and starts telling everyone to go vote.
01:14:28.000Nobody on the left has a problem with it.
01:14:29.000Again, I don't, let me put it this way 10 years ago, if you told me, Nick, something you said upset the left, I was like, oh, what did I say?
01:15:06.000If you look at where I stood politically 10, 15 years ago, pretty similar to where it is now.
01:15:11.000If you look at where the average Democrat stood 10 or 15 years ago, they weren't advocating for taxpayer funding of chemical castration of gender confused 10 year olds.
01:15:21.000So I'm not divisive for pointing out the divisive things that you've done.
01:15:25.000But as far as Christians voting, it is absolutely absurd that pastors would not tell their parishioners to go get out there and vote their values.
01:15:34.000When we say the Lord's Prayer, your will.
01:15:36.000That will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
01:15:39.000We actually have an opportunity to vote in this country.
01:15:42.000I lost friends who will never come home from faraway lands so that everybody can vote to include Christians.
01:15:48.000And if you're telling me that, well, I don't want to mix religion and politics, you're basically saying I don't want to mix morality and politics.
01:16:19.000And if it is going to be Muslim morals, and by the way, Muslim Islam is an ideology, not a race.
01:16:24.000Okay, so I'm not a racist when I point out that Islamic ideology has never created a country like the United States.
01:16:32.000So maybe it's not me being a bad, mean, or evil person by pointing out, huh.
01:16:36.000This particular culture and ideology, this particular way of thinking socially, politically, theologically, and economically has never created something like the United States.
01:16:45.000Maybe I would prefer a theological and cultural underpinning which did create the United States.
01:16:53.000And there's zero doubt that Christianity was the theological underpinning upon which our founders were operating.
01:17:00.000So if you are sitting on the sidelines because you don't want to mix religion and politics, understand you are failing.
01:17:07.000You have this incredible opportunity, which, by the way, was purchased by people that died so you could have it, to go out there and make sure that our values are reflected in our laws and the way our society is organized.
01:17:19.000And if you don't take that opportunity and it becomes something vastly different from that, where now you can't sit on the sidelines anymore because you're living in a Marxist country or something else, well, just know it was because you failed everyone that came before you.
