00:00:46.000 Here we go.
00:00:47.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:49.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:51.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:54.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:58.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:59.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:00.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:01:07.000 Turning point, USA.
00:01:08.000 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.
00:01:16.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:20.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTod.com.
00:01:29.000 New piece in the Atlantic, of course, funded by Loreen Powell Jobs, Emerson Collective.
00:01:36.000 It is the Atlantic, isn't it?
00:01:37.000 The Constitution prohibits Trump from ever being president again.
00:01:37.000 Yep.
00:01:42.000 We warned you that they're going to use the 14th Amendment in the United States Constitution, which is written way too broadly.
00:01:49.000 We've said that before and the media attacked us for saying it, to try to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president.
00:01:56.000 Understand that the people that are pushing forward, quote unquote, our democracy, how many times do you hear that?
00:02:02.000 It's not just democracy, it's our democracy, our democracy.
00:02:07.000 Very possessive, as if they own it.
00:02:09.000 And remember, we are a republic, not a democracy.
00:02:14.000 Every time you hear Our democracy replace it with our oligarchy.
00:02:21.000 That's really what they mean.
00:02:23.000 When Morning Joe and Rachel Maddow say our democracy is under attack, what they're really saying is that our oligarchy is under attack.
00:02:32.000 Our autocracy is under attack.
00:02:34.000 Our shadow government is under attack.
00:02:37.000 That's what they're really saying.
00:02:39.000 The party of democracy, the party of voting is very worried that voting is not going to turn out very well for them.
00:02:49.000 The data is even more promising than I thought it would be at this moment.
00:02:54.000 Now, anything can change.
00:02:56.000 But Donald Trump is facing 600 years in federal prison, four different indictments.
00:03:01.000 And the data is showing that not only have the indictments helped him in the primary, but the indictments very well might be helping him in the general election.
00:03:13.000 I get in debates all the time with members of the American ruling class when I visit Aspen or Vegas or whatever.
00:03:20.000 Who don't like Trump and they say Donald Trump cannot win the general election.
00:03:23.000 You have to get that out of your head.
00:03:26.000 Will he?
00:03:27.000 I don't know.
00:03:27.000 Is the deep state going to prevent him?
00:03:29.000 Without a doubt.
00:03:30.000 Is he the favorite?
00:03:31.000 But you have to dismiss this very shallow, banal one liner of saying he can't.
00:03:31.000 No.
00:03:39.000 Not true.
00:03:41.000 In fact, the media is accidentally stumbling into this data, and that is exactly why the Atlantic article is out.
00:03:50.000 The party of democracy, which again is really the party of oligarchy, is saying that we must prevent Donald Trump from ever coming on the ballot.
00:04:02.000 I'm going to prove to you exactly what they mean because they are now saying this out loud.
00:04:05.000 They're trying to move the Overton window.
00:04:08.000 And some of the, boy, I was going to use a term I shouldn't use.
00:04:13.000 Let's just say moderates in the Republican circle, like David French, who's not even a Republican, he's a regime water carrier for the neoliberal agenda.
00:04:23.000 They're saying, oh, this is actually a really good idea.
00:04:25.000 If Donald Trump is so unpopular, then beat him at the ballot box.
00:04:29.000 If Donald Trump is so terrible, then use your sacred democracy to reject him.
00:04:37.000 This is now bubbling up.
00:04:39.000 The data is now showing that the indictments aren't working.
00:04:44.000 In fact, it's probably going to only hurt them more because these cases only grow weaker with time. 0.53
00:04:51.000 So you take Big Fanny Willis. 0.53
00:04:52.000 Big Fanny Willis! 1.00
00:04:54.000 She comes out and she goes after every single person that has set foot in Fulton County associated with Donald Trump. 0.96
00:05:02.000 Her case will only get weaker from this point forward.
00:05:06.000 A judge is not going to put up with some of these charges. 0.93
00:05:08.000 Good lawyers will eventually get brought into this.
00:05:11.000 She's at her climax of media support. 0.98
00:05:15.000 She will only weaken. 1.00
00:05:17.000 And by the way, she's got a bunch of clowns around her. 0.98
00:05:19.000 That's not some sort of thing that I'm speculating. 1.00
00:05:22.000 She got this woman.
00:05:23.000 Well, I mixed up the save and send buttons.
00:05:25.000 Like they're not sending their best to Fulton County.
00:05:30.000 So, the public opinion of these indictments is only going to shift further.
00:05:34.000 And I'm starting to see this bubble up in the grassroots.
00:05:38.000 I'm starting to see this bubble up in the non political circles, where all of a sudden the reverence for the Constitution is now taking a higher plane than any sort of allegiance or support of Donald Trump.
00:05:54.000 Where people, and this is a very good sign, you want to have a white pill moment, you want to have like an optimist twist.
00:06:01.000 I'm starting to see rumblings of people that hate Donald Trump, but they say, I love the Constitution more than I hate Donald Trump.
00:06:11.000 All you need is a sliver of independence to believe that, and this whole ballgame ends, and it ends quickly.
00:06:18.000 That would be the tipping point, everybody, is if you can get enough people that you don't even convince them that Donald Trump is great.
00:06:25.000 You can actually accept the premise, but then you say, is there something that actually supersedes the hate?
00:06:36.000 Is there something that supersedes your distaste for him?
00:06:39.000 I'm starting to see it.
00:06:41.000 This clip right here is very telling.
00:06:43.000 CNN is telling you that all the data, macro polls, Donald Trump is in a much stronger position than he was even in 2020.
00:06:52.000 Now, remember our rule here.
00:06:54.000 We don't like poll watching, like bird watching.
00:06:58.000 We like actually, we need poll watchers, but we don't overdo the polls.
00:07:02.000 But the macro trend is very interesting.
00:07:03.000 We need ballot chasers, we need voter registration.
00:07:06.000 We need all that.
00:07:07.000 Just remember, the polls didn't help us in Arizona, but this is interesting.
00:07:10.000 What it shows is it's a race.
00:07:11.000 It's going to come down to the technical side, but they thought they would have like a 10 point delta between Trump and Biden at this point.
00:07:19.000 And CNN is growing awfully nervous, worried.
00:07:21.000 Play cut six.
00:07:23.000 Look here.
00:07:24.000 This is Quinnipiac University.
00:07:26.000 It was a two point race in February.
00:07:28.000 Look where it is now.
00:07:29.000 It's a one point race.
00:07:31.000 That's well within the margin of error.
00:07:33.000 But take away one thing from this and one thing only if you take away only one thing.
00:07:37.000 And that is, I think there are a lot of Democrats who simply can't believe that Donald Trump can be elected president again.
00:07:43.000 The polling indicates that Trump is in fact in a stronger position at this point than he was during the entire 2020 campaign, according to the national polls.
00:07:52.000 If we had state level polling, I wouldn't even be surprised if Trump were ahead in the swing states that are most important, Jim.
00:07:57.000 Okay, so let's not look.
00:07:58.000 The polls lied to us in the midterms. 0.96
00:08:01.000 Some polls said that Carrie Lake was up 10 points, and she probably was.
00:08:05.000 It's just they did the boring stuff way better than us.
00:08:08.000 So if we do our job to ballot chase, voter reg, secure our elections, then all of a sudden this polling is going to look very much to what ends up happening.
00:08:18.000 We engage in voting month, all that good stuff, right?
00:08:20.000 Precinct by precinct, grassroots muscle.
00:08:23.000 That's going to be, I am going to be a broken record on this.
00:08:26.000 Unlike all these other shows, oh, wow, look at these polls.
00:08:28.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:08:29.000 How about the boring stuff?
00:08:30.000 Are we doing it? 0.97
00:08:31.000 Are we hiring ballot chasers?
00:08:34.000 Are we engaging in early voting?
00:08:36.000 Remember, if we even do 10 to 20% of the early voting work the Democrats have been doing, we might just accomplish enough.
00:08:41.000 Plus, we secure our elections.
00:08:43.000 So, all this good stuff, right?
00:08:45.000 What it shows, these polls are showing, is that this is totally winnable.
00:08:52.000 That's what it's showing.
00:08:54.000 Not that we're going to win, not that we're going to lose, but it's kind of in that you're telling me there's a chance.
00:09:02.000 Yes.
00:09:04.000 I'm telling you, there is 100% a chance.
00:09:07.000 I still mark us as the underdog.
00:09:09.000 Let me be clear.
00:09:10.000 We're up against the FBI, the CIA, broken elections.
00:09:13.000 We're up against the Democrat regime, George Soros, Lorraine Powell, jobs, these legal challenges.
00:09:18.000 We are the underdog.
00:09:20.000 But I actually like Donald Trump in the underdog position.
00:09:24.000 I like 2016 energy.
00:09:26.000 I like the scrappy.
00:09:27.000 I like the hustle.
00:09:28.000 I like the us versus the world.
00:09:29.000 I like the grassroots.
00:09:31.000 I like Dairy Queen Donald Trump more than 15 days to slow the spread, Donald Trump.
00:09:37.000 And the regime, which says our democracy when they're really saying our oligarchy, they're starting to look around and they're saying, what else do we have?
00:09:44.000 What else do we have?
00:09:45.000 We tried the indictments not working. 0.95
00:09:47.000 We tried Big Fanny.
00:09:48.000 We tried Big Mac Alvin Bragg. 0.96
00:09:51.000 We tried deranged lunatic Jack Smith. 0.89
00:09:55.000 And there is something else. 0.83
00:09:56.000 They will reach deeper and of course, they're desperate.
00:10:02.000 These people are unbelievably desperate.
00:10:04.000 I'm going to tell you what somebody wrote a rather long manifesto of what is at the root of liberalism.
00:10:12.000 Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, don't support him killing people.
00:10:15.000 But in the manifesto, he famously said, At the root of all liberalism is insecurity.
00:10:19.000 And boy, is that true.
00:10:20.000 They are an insecure people.
00:10:23.000 Hold on to that thought because they're going even more desperate.
00:10:25.000 Buckle up.
00:10:27.000 They're about to go and grab the throat of the 14th Amendment against the American people.
00:10:34.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:11:45.000 Believe it and work like you're 20 points down.
00:11:48.000 No more of this MAGA cockiness that sometimes I get.
00:11:51.000 You know, I joke around that some MAGA consultants, thankfully, they are no longer around in 2020.
00:11:57.000 I'd say, What is the plan?
00:11:58.000 What is the strategy?
00:11:58.000 And they'd say, Feel the MAGA vibes, man.
00:12:02.000 Like, let the vibes flow.
00:12:04.000 Like, that's not a strategy. 1.00
00:12:07.000 That's stupid. 1.00
00:12:09.000 Trump is running a much better campaign at this point than I saw in 2020. 1.00
00:12:13.000 But think about it.
00:12:13.000 2020, they turned.
00:12:15.000 The whole regime inwardly against him.
00:12:17.000 It was like the snake eating itself.
00:12:19.000 Fauci, Burke's infiltration.
00:12:21.000 You had the regime, you had basically a coup d'etat, mail in ballot, Zuckerberg.
00:12:27.000 It was a cultural revolution of a regime that basically was taking over itself from within.
00:12:32.000 So, this is a fact, 100% fact, that the bad guys, the oligarchs, who say they're for democracy, are super worried about what would happen if Donald Trump gets on the ballot.
00:12:44.000 This is clear.
00:12:47.000 Atlantic.com, financed by Loreen Powell Jobs, who is the widow of Steve Jobs and who is one of the more sinister people in American politics.
00:12:58.000 She owns the Emerson Collective. 0.99
00:12:59.000 She funds piles of trash to the tune of billions of dollars. 1.00
00:13:05.000 Loreen Powell Jobs is very similar to Mackenzie Bezos, where they feel that their role in life is to destroy Western society with the billions of dollars they did not earn. 1.00
00:13:15.000 Mackenzie Bezos didn't earn that money.
00:13:17.000 Loreen Powell Jobs didn't earn that money, but boy, they want to spend it.
00:13:20.000 It's interesting how unearned money is so easily spent on really bad ideas.
00:13:26.000 There's something to that.
00:13:29.000 So here's what it says on the Atlantic The Constitution prohibits Trump from ever being president again by Michael Luddig and Lawrence Tribe.
00:13:39.000 Now, Lawrence Tribe is a crazy person, but he's actually well respected on the left, which is telling.
00:13:45.000 As students of the United States Constitution for many decades, one of a U.S. Court of Appeals judge, the other as a professor of constitutional law, And both as constitutional advocates, scholars, and practitioners, we long ago came to the conclusion that the 14th Amendment, the amendment ratified in 1868 that represents our nation's second founding, a new birth of freedom, contains within a protection against the dissolution of the Republic by a treasonous president.
00:14:08.000 Okay, let's just slow down.
00:14:12.000 The 14th Amendment was necessary for some things, 100%.
00:14:17.000 But it's way too broadly written, it's sloppily written in some ways.
00:14:24.000 The moral premise of the 14th Amendment, excellent.
00:14:28.000 Of course, obviously, no one's going to debate that.
00:14:31.000 No one will.
00:14:32.000 Abolishing slavery and respecting the dignity of all people.
00:14:35.000 But they float the 14th Amendment for everything for removal of debts.
00:14:43.000 Remember when they said, oh, the debt ceiling can be raised because of the 14th Amendment, preventing Donald Trump from becoming president, birthright citizenship?
00:14:53.000 The 14th Amendment is the catch all.
00:14:56.000 The 14th Amendment has become kind of the modern Marxist revolutionary gateway to whatever they want to do.
00:15:06.000 It doesn't always hold up in court, but it's way too broad.
00:15:10.000 It's just too broad.
00:15:12.000 Again, morally necessary with too many opaque provisions and vocabulary that is now harming us in 2023.
00:15:23.000 They believe the 14th Amendment nullifies the rest of the Constitution.
00:15:26.000 As long as the government can be used to attack white people or now to attack insurrectionists, that's why language matters.
00:15:33.000 Okay, so we're gonna pick apart this entire article, this whole thing, but I wanna segue with this quote from the Unabomber, evil guy, but he understood the left very, very well, and he was obviously really smart.
00:15:46.000 Quote Words like self confidence, self reliance, initiative, enterprise, optimism play little role in the liberal and leftist vocabulary.
00:15:53.000 The leftist is anti individualistic, pro collectivist.
00:15:56.000 He wants society to solve everyone's problems for them, satisfy everyone's needs for them, take care of them.
00:16:02.000 The liberal is not the sort of person who has an inner sense of confidence in his ability to solve his own problems.
00:16:06.000 Problems and satisfies own needs.
00:16:09.000 The leftist is antagonistic to the concept of competition because deep inside he feels like a loser.
00:16:15.000 Boy, does that perfectly summarize the left.
00:16:18.000 They feel like losers deep inside and they are afraid of having to actually go up against Trump, aka our movement, in a fair fight. 0.96
00:16:30.000 Deep down, they're damaged and insecure people. 0.68
00:16:34.000 That is at the heart of the American left.
00:16:40.000 Strong cell is amazing.
00:16:41.000 I got to tell you, the combination of NADH, CoQ10, and collagen is really something.
00:16:47.000 You know, people ask me, they say, Charlie, how do you keep your energy up?
00:16:50.000 How do you just keep on pushing?
00:16:51.000 Look, part of it is diet, nutrition, but I'll be honest, I take supplements really seriously.
00:16:57.000 Fact check me on this.
00:16:58.000 You can say, I'll try, I'm going to fact check you.
00:17:00.000 Type this into your search engine NADH.
00:17:05.000 Just type it in.
00:17:05.000 What does it tell you?
00:17:07.000 It might tell you that it is the secret to living long, anti aging properties, more energy.
00:17:12.000 All of that is being proven in more and more clinical trials.
00:17:15.000 NADH is a precursor so that your mitochondria can remain healthy and vibrant.
00:17:21.000 The elites, a lot of billionaires, people with a lot of money, they spend a ton of money on NAD.
00:17:24.000 It's a fact.
00:17:25.000 NAD just might be your secret weapon for more energy.
00:17:28.000 I take NAD every single day.
00:17:31.000 I could tell you that NADH, compared with CoQ10, the trials show very, very good things.

00:18:25.000 Okay, so for the past three years, people have mostly understood that using Section 3 on Donald Trump would at least require a criminal conviction, aka taking him off the ballot.
00:18:38.000 There's a new article, as we've been leading up to this, that is really making the rounds.
00:18:42.000 This is not some sort of just weird blog or just some sort of strange tweet.
00:18:47.000 I want to reemphasize this was published on the platform owned by Loreen Powell Jobs, one of the top five most important mega donors.
00:19:02.000 This is 100% either approved by, read by, or at least atmospherically aware by Loreen Powell Jobs and her team at the Emerson Collective.
00:19:17.000 This is a trial balloon, but it's also a chance to move the Overton window.
00:19:23.000 They are saying that conviction does not matter, a conviction of a crime.
00:19:29.000 This law review article claims that Section 3 is a self executing, operating, and as an immediate disqualification from office.
00:19:40.000 Holy moly.
00:19:41.000 Without the need for additional action from Congress, it can and should be enforced by every official, state or federal, who judges qualifications.
00:19:52.000 What are they really saying here?
00:19:55.000 They're saying that Adrian Fontes can say that Donald Trump is not allowed on the ballot in Arizona.
00:20:02.000 They can say the Secretary of State of Wisconsin is not going to allow Donald Trump on the ballot there.
00:20:08.000 This is their backup plan for 2024 if the trials do not work.
00:20:14.000 It is so unbelievably radical that they had to write an op ed in The Atlantic to try to move the Overton window on this, to try to get the activist base who have been calling for indictments of Donald Trump since the moment he announced for the presidency for eight years.
00:20:28.000 Another thing that they can push for.
00:20:30.000 That's why they wrote the article.
00:20:32.000 When they, this is, this is, when you study the left, you understand that when something goes from in the shadows to into the light, it's an intentional movement.
00:20:41.000 They didn't do this unintentionally.
00:20:44.000 They're putting this into the public domain so they could get their base all fired up about it to then be pushing it somewhat organically when in reality it's not organic.
00:20:52.000 This is a shot across the bow.
00:20:54.000 This right here is a statement.
00:20:56.000 This right here shows you, should give you hope, by the way, that The indictments are not working, that people are turning against them.
00:21:05.000 So they're just saying, you know what?
00:21:05.000 Let's just not let them on the ballot.
00:21:08.000 Why?
00:21:09.000 Because we feel it.
00:21:10.000 Doesn't matter what the Constitution says.
00:21:12.000 They say the Constitution prohibits it.
00:21:14.000 They say conclude that Section 3 requires no legislation, no criminal conviction or other judicial action in order to effectuate its command.
00:21:25.000 That Section 3 is self-executing.
00:21:28.000 So here's how we have to respond.
00:21:30.000 So simple. 0.92
00:21:31.000 Say, okay, Republican Secretary of State won't let Joe Biden on because he's a traitor to the United States.
00:21:36.000 That's how you respond.
00:21:38.000 Say, you're going to do that?
00:21:38.000 We'll do it.
00:21:39.000 Not a good idea, is it?
00:21:41.000 Welcome to the big leagues.
00:21:43.000 That's what we do.
00:21:45.000 Like, oh, well, that's a threat to democracy.
00:21:47.000 No, no, no.
00:21:47.000 You're not going to let Trump on the ballot?
00:21:49.000 We're not going to let Biden on the ballot.
00:21:51.000 That's what you're saying right here.
00:21:52.000 You're pushing for local secretaries of state to not let Donald Trump on the ballot.
00:21:57.000 But it gets even more radical than that.
00:22:01.000 Again, this is not some sort of fringe, weird transgender blogger at University of Washington.
00:22:08.000 This is top level constitution scholars.
00:22:14.000 Quote, to the extent of any conflict with prior constitutional rules, section three repeals, supersedes, or simply satisfies them.
00:22:21.000 This includes the rules against bills of attainder or ex post facto laws, the due process clause or even the free speech principles of the first amendment.
00:22:28.000 What are they saying here?
00:22:29.000 They're saying they can just ignore the first amendment, that they can ignore the requirement of due process.
00:22:36.000 Let's just take a pause and just make sure this is all setting in.
00:22:42.000 They really are afraid of this guy.
00:22:44.000 Holy moly.
00:22:47.000 They are really scared he might become president again.
00:22:50.000 This, you do not act this way if you feel confident.
00:22:53.000 This is desperate, paranoid, insecure behavior.
00:22:57.000 They are worried that if an election takes place, they are worried that the right might actually do some ballot chasing.
00:23:05.000 They are worried.
00:23:06.000 That we might actually secure some elections.
00:23:08.000 They are worried they can't pull off the masterstroke of 2020 again.
00:23:14.000 Put Biden in a basement, shut down the country, masks, vaccines, Floyd-Apalooza, racial reckoning.
00:23:18.000 All the oligarchs spend money, suppress the opposition.
00:23:21.000 Hunter Biden laptop, boom, suppress that.
00:23:23.000 They're worried they can't pull that off again because that took every possible favor, every possible institution to be in harmony.
00:23:31.000 They're afraid they can't get that all lined up.
00:23:33.000 So they say, you know what?
00:23:34.000 Just forget it.
00:23:35.000 Just don't let him on the ballot.
00:23:35.000 Just do not let him on the ballot.
00:23:37.000 Doesn't matter if he's not convicted.
00:23:39.000 Doesn't matter.
00:23:39.000 What they're saying is no criminal conviction is necessary, that you could just kind of think it, you could just allege it.
00:23:50.000 She's like, hey, he's an insurrectionist.
00:23:51.000 Why?
00:23:52.000 Because we think it.
00:23:55.000 Now, thankfully, thankfully, this probably will not be held up by the Supreme Court.
00:24:00.000 I mean, the Supreme Court would say, yeah, this is crazy.
00:24:03.000 But that doesn't mean they're not going to try.
00:24:07.000 They're going to say that he gave aid and comfort insurrectionists, which can define as bad tweets.
00:24:12.000 Imagine the Secretary of State of Pennsylvania or Michigan literally having a one party election and having the Secretary of State of Pennsylvania saying, we are here to protect democracy.
00:24:23.000 And only Joe Biden will be led on the ballot.
00:24:26.000 Huh.
00:24:28.000 So the party of democracy wants one person on the ballot. 0.81
00:24:32.000 It's like the Soviet Union.
00:24:34.000 Joseph Stalin elected with record support.
00:24:36.000 Yeah, there's no one else on the ballot.
00:24:39.000 The Atlantic article continues.
00:24:43.000 If you want any evidence for your left wing friends that the intelligentsia of the American left are nothing more than medieval defenders of oligarchs, just read this article.
00:24:55.000 And they are not joking around.
00:24:57.000 Somebody said, Charlie, what do you mean that Trump is the underdog?
00:25:00.000 This is what I mean by Trump is the underdog.
00:25:02.000 They have not even started to scrap.
00:25:04.000 A very, very smart friend of mine said, Charlie, as recently said to me, and so smart, he said, as aggressive the American right was in trying to challenge the 2020 election results, times it by 10, and that is what the left will do, and the media will cover for them.
00:25:25.000 Continues by saying, the men who framed and ratified The 14th Amendment entrusted us, the people of the United States, the means to vigilantly protect against those who would make a mockery of American democracy.
00:25:40.000 Oligarchy.
00:25:41.000 The Constitution, the rule of law, and of America itself, it fell to generations that followed to enforce our hallowed Constitution and ensure that our union endures today.
00:25:50.000 That responsibility falls to us.
00:25:55.000 Fail at sending Trump to prison?
00:25:57.000 Here's our backup plan kick him off.
00:26:00.000 With this law review article, but there's another wrinkle to this.
00:26:05.000 It's not just far left wingers and Lauren's tribe that are pushing this.
00:26:12.000 This is also from people who self describe themselves as conservative scholars.
00:26:22.000 Conservative scholars have cozied on up to this.
00:26:28.000 In fact, two people that are members of the Federalist Society, which does excellent work traditionally, Is saying there's a lot of merit to this that Section 3's disqualification clause has by no means outlived its contemplated necessity, nor will it ever, as the post Civil War framers presciently foresaw.
00:26:51.000 To the contrary, this provision of our Constitution continues to protect the Republic from those who are bent on its dissolution.
00:26:59.000 Every official who takes an oath to uphold the Constitution's Article 6 provides every public official must, is obligated to enforce this very provision.
00:27:06.000 That's a bunch of psychobabble. 0.99
00:27:08.000 From people that are nuts. 0.98
00:27:12.000 So, why are they doing this? 0.98
00:27:13.000 They're doing it because they're insecure.
00:27:17.000 Just listen to this kind of stream of consciousness from the CIA morning show, Play Cut 41.
00:27:24.000 We're following new polling that shows Donald Trump's hold over the Republican base is as strong as ever.
00:27:32.000 In the latest CBS News YouGov survey, the former president has 62% of support from likely GOP primary voters, 46% clear of his closest challenger.
00:27:46.000 And among those likely Trump voters, The poll shows they trust the former president even more than their own loved ones.
00:27:54.000 This was about Donald Trump.
00:27:56.000 How could people support Donald Trump?
00:27:58.000 And there are really no good answers, except, you know, the question is, is it a cult?
00:28:09.000 Yeah.
00:28:09.000 So that tape could have been from 2017.
00:28:13.000 It's the same thing they do every morning there insecure, desperate.
00:28:18.000 Use every power at their disposal.
00:28:20.000 The two members of the Federalist Society that are allegedly on the right, law professors William Baud and Michael Stokes Paulson.
00:28:29.000 The Atlantic has come out and said, We're immensely gratified to see a richly researched article soon to be published in an academic journal has recently come to the same conclusion that we had and is attracting well deserved attention outside of a small circle of scholars, including Jeffrey Sonnefeld and Anjan Jain of the Yale Law School of Management.
00:28:49.000 Oh, Jeffrey Sonnefeld, I could tell you a story about him.
00:28:52.000 Jeez.
00:28:53.000 That's why I had to pause.
00:28:54.000 That's a separate episode for another time.
00:28:56.000 The evidence laid out by the legal scholars of William Baud and Michael Stokes Paulson in sweep and force of Section 3, available as a preprint and a memento sooner or later, it will influence, if not determine, the course of the American constitutional history and American history itself.
00:29:08.000 Okay.
00:29:10.000 So that's all a bunch of nonsense.
00:29:12.000 AKA, the top legal minds of society are saying Trump should not be allowed on the ballot regardless of conviction just because we think that.
00:29:21.000 That's what's going on.
00:29:21.000 That is the insurance policy.
00:29:23.000 They're not going to let him on the ballot.
00:29:27.000 I want to talk about relieffactor.com.

00:30:04.000 I just want to reiterate this is the accusation that can keep you off the ballot.
00:30:09.000 Not tried by a jury or peers.
00:30:10.000 Why is this happening?
00:30:12.000 Because it's starting to set into these people oh, the timeline is not going to line up.
00:30:18.000 Yeah.
00:30:20.000 Yeah.
00:30:22.000 Can I make a prediction?
00:30:24.000 Jack Smith is not going to get his January trial.
00:30:28.000 He's not going to get his January trial.
00:30:30.000 And they know it.
00:30:32.000 That it's going to be more like April or June or July.
00:30:37.000 So, yes, we don't control all of the secretaries of states in the states, but for example, Pinal County or Yavapai County in Arizona, just say Joe Biden is not going to be allowed on the ballot.
00:30:51.000 You want to play ball?
00:30:52.000 The Pinal County Recorder's Office or the La Paz County Recorder's Office.
00:31:01.000 Welcome to the big leagues.
00:31:02.000 How about the Yavapai County Recorder's Office?
00:31:06.000 Trump will get 100% of the votes.
00:31:07.000 Welcome to democracy.
00:31:09.000 If they even try it, we need it immediately.
00:31:12.000 And you might say, well, Charlie, what is the crime?
00:31:14.000 Joe Biden sold out the country. 0.96
00:31:15.000 We just think he's a traitor.
00:31:16.000 The new standard is you don't need to be now held to any sort of criminal account.
00:31:22.000 It's just we can think it.
00:31:24.000 You sold influence.
00:31:25.000 You got bribes from foreign nations.
00:31:28.000 You're not going to be on the ballot.
00:31:29.000 By the way, you want to get really radical?
00:31:31.000 We could end up winning some of these blue states if every one of the red counties do this, if Joe Biden's not on the ballot because we got 100% of the votes.
00:31:38.000 So one person on the ballot.
00:31:39.000 We could win Nevada.
00:31:41.000 Totally win Nevada.
00:31:43.000 Joe Biden's not on the ballot.
00:31:46.000 Because we have Republican recorders' offices in all of these major red counties.
00:31:51.000 We win Colorado, maybe.
00:31:53.000 They want to play ball.
00:31:55.000 We're not going to let Joe Biden on the ballot in local counties.
00:31:57.000 That simple.
00:31:58.000 The line needs to be drawn.
00:31:59.000 I think that's demented, by the way. 0.58
00:32:01.000 This is like really sick stuff that we even have to talk like this. 0.74
00:32:05.000 I don't enjoy it.
00:32:06.000 I don't delight in it.
00:32:07.000 I don't celebrate it.
00:32:09.000 And someone just said, Charlie, is the RNC gaming this out?
00:32:12.000 They can't even get Donald Trump to show up to a debate, okay?
00:32:15.000 The RNC doesn't have a plan.
00:32:17.000 There's no plan, okay?
00:32:19.000 The plan is here.
00:32:21.000 We're figuring it out because we actually care about the country.
00:32:24.000 So, you want to save the country?
00:32:27.000 Okay, every single red state recorder's office has to say that based on Section 3 of the United States Constitution, Joe Biden will not be allowed on the ballot if you even dare do this in one corner of the country, that a former president is not allowed to be on the ballot in any of these states.
00:32:44.000 Period.
00:32:46.000 And you want to talk about expanding the map?
00:32:49.000 All of a sudden, you've expanded the map.
00:32:51.000 There's a lot of red counties in Georgia where if Joe Biden doesn't show up on the ballot, you'll get 80 to 90%.
00:33:00.000 I'm trying to get the liberals to back off.
00:33:00.000 What am I getting at here?
00:33:03.000 That's not good for the country.
00:33:04.000 That'll deeply damage the country.
00:33:06.000 But we are not going to bend over and take it from you guys.
00:33:09.000 Not going to happen. 0.99
00:33:11.000 You even try to whisper about this crap under the guise of legal theory? 0.98
00:33:17.000 You're going to force a constitutional crisis, and I'm not going to complain my way to the destruction of the country. 0.99
00:33:24.000 Period.
00:33:26.000 You even think it?
00:33:27.000 You guys even probe it?
00:33:29.000 If Adrian Fontes even says, oh, well, you know, he's an insurrectionist, and according to Section 3, we can just prevent him from the ballot.
00:33:37.000 Okay.
00:33:38.000 Pinal, Yavapai, all across the board, our best counties. 0.99
00:33:44.000 Joe Biden's a traitor. 0.88
00:33:46.000 What can we do? 0.97
00:33:47.000 Now, we are now in this weird Maoist America where if you are accused, you're guilty until proven innocent.
00:33:54.000 According to Section 3 of the United States Constitution, they are arguing clearly academics.
00:33:58.000 These are academics from these.
00:34:01.000 By the way, you want to talk about another one?
00:34:02.000 California.
00:34:04.000 California, Joe Biden's not allowed on the ballot.
00:34:07.000 What would that do?
00:34:09.000 I mean, not statewide, but county by county.
00:34:12.000 I don't like this.
00:34:13.000 But I want to make sure our side has the stones and the awareness of what's coming next.
00:34:19.000 Remember, the general election comes down to eight counties.
00:34:21.000 If I can keep Joe Biden off the ballot in Pinal County and Yavapai County, that'll run up the score.
00:34:28.000 I don't want to do this.
00:34:29.000 You don't want to do this.
00:34:32.000 But I'm not going to bend over and take it.
00:34:33.000 I'm not going to allow Lawrence Tribe and these two Federalist Society guys, which is normally a very good organization, so it's very bizarre, to keep Donald J. Trump, a former president, off the ballot.
00:34:44.000 Could you guys broadcast your insecurity anymore?
00:34:49.000 You might as well just get the nose piercings and the purple hair and admit to everybody that you have daddy issues.
00:34:56.000 We understand that you're insecure, but don't get in the way of the people having a voice in the election.
00:35:01.000 If you dare even go that way, we're going to do everything we can to keep Joe Biden off the ballot county by county.
00:35:06.000 We will go county by county by county and say, fine, Section 3, 14th Amendment, time to play ball.
00:35:13.000 Oh, you don't like that?
00:35:14.000 Well, welcome to the new right.
