00:01:03.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:38.000Raheem, there's a lot going on in the Western world right now.
00:01:42.000We have Ireland that is bubbling up and we have a lot happening domestic politically as well.
00:01:49.000So I want to ask here, just have you walk us through how do you see the Republican race, Republican primary race, Koch brothers behind Nikki Haley.
00:02:01.000Well, and thank you for having me, Charlie, and thank you for the kind words.
00:02:05.000The first thing that comes to mind when you look at Coke World, the Koch Network, choosing to endorse Nikki Haley is obviously the mega bucks, right?
00:02:16.000That's a war chest that any candidate would love to get their hands on on any side.
00:02:23.000Historically, you know, the Coke's have poured hundreds of millions into races over the last couple of years alone.
00:02:31.000Probably runs into much more than that over the last 20 odd years.
00:02:36.000And the second part of it that people need to understand is that so many people that are in the DeSantis camp actually have worked for or with Koch-aligned and affiliated organizations over their political histories.
00:02:52.000So for instance, if you take, you know, Ken Cuccinelli had received when he was AG, a large amount of money from Koch Networks.
00:03:01.000You have DeSantis spokesman, Carly Acheson, who was defending her former boss, Governor Kevin Stitt, taking money from Koch Networks previously.
00:03:13.000And Christina Pushaw, as well, the spokesman for Ron DeSantis, the rapid response spokesman for Ron DeSantis, has also worked closely with Coke Networks.
00:03:21.000So you've got to look at it from that perspective as to why they find it so much of a humiliation, so much of a snub that that organization, America's Prosperity, and probably the broader Koch network as well, is now going to be supporting somebody else.
00:03:37.000Somebody else who has been eating Team DeSantis' lunch for a couple of weeks now, who is fundraising just as much as them, who's going up in the polls, not down or flatlining.
00:03:47.000And, you know, I'm not a huge Nikki Haley fan by any stretch of the imagination, but her campaign is clearly more disciplined.
00:03:53.000She's clearly impressing donors much more.
00:03:56.000And yes, they are, you know, I've never been a fan of the Koch networks.
00:04:00.000They are more open borders, more globalist types, more corporate types.
00:04:05.000But at the same time, like I said at the very beginning, these candidates would kill to get their hands on that kind of money.
00:04:12.000So Nikki gets the endorsement and the capital behind it, that the Kokes are increasingly sympathetic to DEI, CRT, open borders, more globalist.
00:04:24.000The DeSantis campaign, it seems to be kind of falling apart right now.
00:04:30.000And I'm personally quite upset by how we're continuing this kind of unnecessary primary when we should be consolidating support behind Donald Trump.
00:04:42.000How do you Ron DeSantis still has about $70 to $80 million that we know of in the super PAC, probably less than that?
00:05:50.000Well, if people bothered, if they had actually bothered to try and look at what motivates ordinary people, what's motivating Iowans at the moment, they would know that it isn't somebody else telling them what to do, right?
00:06:01.000It's them making up their own minds about which candidate best reflects their values and which candidate critically can beat Joe Biden.
00:06:08.000You know, it's funny talking about the Koch endorsement because over the last several months, Team DeSantis has signaled over and over again that taking money from globalist donors, Bush-connected donors, all of this stuff doesn't mean anything because Ron will not count to the donors' demands.
00:06:26.000He's happy to take their money, but he won't do what they say.
00:06:29.000And now, as soon as somebody snubs them and gives the money to Nikki Haley, they're like, oh, well, she's obviously massively compromised and so on and so forth.
00:06:37.000This is the type of campaign they've run, Charlie.
00:06:39.000They've run a campaign where it's so fundamentally out of step with even the things that they are signaling and the things that they are saying that it doesn't ring true to anybody.
00:06:49.000And I listen, at the beginning of this whole thing, I really hoped we'd see a fair fight.
00:06:55.000But they came out of the blocks screaming blue murder, screaming all sorts of falsehoods about Donald Trump and Donald Trump supporters, by the way, me being one of those who, you know, they've told lie after lie.
00:07:07.000Oh, you take money from the Trump camp.
00:07:11.000You know, just saying all this nasty stuff.
00:07:14.000And people watch it and they go, well, who are these people?
00:07:18.000Who are these people who have come along very recently, by the way, into conservative world and are now telling us that the people who have been fighting on the front lines for a decade in the populist nationalist movement are somehow phonies and grifters and what have you.
00:07:41.000The other thing that I think you have to think about when it comes to Iowa, and I agree with you, by the way, this is why we did a story earlier this week about the number of caucus commitments that each side has.
00:07:50.000So the Trump camp is saying they've got over 50,000 caucus commitments.
00:07:54.000The DeSantis camp say they've got about 30,000 caucus commitments.
00:07:58.000Well, that probably will end up being a closer outcome in Iowa than most people think.
00:08:03.000And I'm happy to say that because Jeff Rowe's ability, you know, he did the Ted Cruz stuff out there in 2016.
00:08:09.000His ability in that one state alone on the caucus stuff alone is actually quite good.
00:08:15.000On everything else, as we've seen, he doesn't know diddly squat about running a campaign.
00:08:22.000The media will probably try and come out and say, oh, he didn't.
00:08:25.000Trump didn't win it as much as he should have won it by.
00:08:28.000But at the same time, it really doesn't matter.
00:08:31.000At that point, Ron is going to have a very hard time justifying even staying in the race.
00:08:36.000Yeah, and that's it's going to be also incumbent on us setting the narrative here because I'm a little show Trump's up 40 in Iowa.
00:08:46.000I doubt he's going to win by 40 because the caucus system is very tricky.
00:08:51.000Also, a lot of people enter open-minded.
00:08:54.000And then the way the caucus works, I actually went to a caucus in 2016, is that everyone sits in like a library or whatever, and they sit there.
00:09:04.000And every campaign then gives a chance to give a speech.
00:09:07.000They have a surrogate that will then be able to give a speech.
00:10:23.000That's where the wellness company comes in.
00:10:25.000From something innocent and natural like a tick bite to COVID to the next bioweapon manufacturer in a lab, the wellness company's medical emergency kit is what you need to be prepared.
00:10:34.000It contains life-saving medications like ivermectin, emergency antibiotics, a ZPAC, and more, as well as a guidebook to aid in the use of these life-saving medications.
00:10:45.000The wellness company and their doctors, including Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. James Thorpe, Dr. Harvey Riesch, Dr. Drupinski, and Dr. Robert Seek and more, are medical professionals that you can trust.
00:10:56.000Rest assured, knowing that you're ready for whatever the globalists throw at us next to order this kit, which I use and I have ready at disposal, everybody.
00:11:04.000I'm not here to give medical advice, but it is the gold standard.
00:12:03.000Yeah, Charlie, incredibly important story coming out of the testimony yesterday from New York.
00:12:10.000The claims that have long been made in this case are that Donald Trump somehow defrauded everybody, right?
00:12:16.000The public, the banks, everybody you can possibly imagine by inflating values of certain things, misreporting certain other things.
00:12:26.000And, you know, the defense has pretty much rested on the case that like, hey, listen, when it comes to valuations of properties, especially in a very fluctuating market, in fluctuating economic times, with somebody whose name on a building alone can change the value of that building quite drastically, that of course opinions are going to differ on these things.
00:12:48.000Nobody was defrauded and you know nobody was defrauded because A, nobody made a complaint of being defrauded.
00:12:54.000B, everybody that was supposed to be paid for the loans that were taken out by the Trump organization over a number of decades were repaid in full and were very happy with that business, so much so that they came back as repeat business partners with the Trump organization.
00:13:10.000And then C, is that actually, of course, the most famous part of the case that a lot of people know now is that it's been the work of Judge Engeron, his staff, Alison Greenfield, and the AG's office that has actually been the ones who have been wrongly valuing a lot of Donald Trump's properties over the years.
00:13:28.000So what we heard yesterday was that Deutsche Bank saying actually, in their own words, one of their own managing partners getting up there and saying, there's no problem with the client and us having a different valuation of a property.
00:13:45.000That happens actually more often than not.
00:13:48.000He also made it very clear that, you know, while Deutsche Bank throughout those years lowered their estimation of Donald Trump's total wealth, they didn't change his ability to service those loans.
00:14:03.000They had had successful business deals with him in the past, so they wanted to do more with him in the future.
00:14:08.000And they didn't regard anything in those financial statements or any claims over the valuations of any of the properties to be, you know, farcical even, let alone fraudulent.
00:14:19.000And so this is a critical part of the case, which I personally believe, me reading it myself, that if I heard that as a judge, I would say, well, okay, hold on a minute now here.
00:14:35.000Everybody go back to living their day-to-day lives.
00:14:38.000But as we know, Judge Engeron and especially his far left staff members who are closely linked with people like Dan Goldman, who ran the first impeachment, with obviously the Titia James's office themselves.
00:14:51.000They're not going to end the case there.
00:15:55.000The political right on both sides of the Atlantic is what we're seeing now going on in Ireland, what we're seeing going on in the United Kingdom is always overwhelmed and never prepared.
00:16:05.000It comes back to the first topic that we talked about.
00:16:07.000The money from the ostensible right, let's say, the Koch network counts within that.
00:16:11.000They at least count as the ostensible right here in Washington, D.C. Not that that really means anything.
00:16:17.000But places like that are happy to fritter.
00:16:20.000millions, tens of millions of dollars away on things like that.
00:18:37.000For those in our audience that are not aware, walk us through all the events that unfolded in Ireland in the last week.
00:18:44.000On the 23rd of November at around 1.30 in the afternoon, a man stabbed three kids outside a school in Dublin and also one of their care workers.
00:18:54.000One of the kids was very, very badly injured.
00:18:56.000The others were injured to a lesser degree.
00:19:00.000It turns out that this man is around 49 years old, I think.
00:19:50.000I mean, it's not a place like the French where it's known for its activism or its, you know, political outrage in the streets.
00:20:00.000This seemed to be a straw that broke the camel's back.
00:20:03.000We now, we know that 20% of Ireland is now foreign-born.
00:20:08.000Walk us through some of the history and some of the background of how we got here, how Ireland allowed so many foreigners and third worlders into the beautiful country of Ireland.
00:20:22.000You know, Ireland's immigration statistics are extraordinary.
00:20:25.000And I think a lot of people outside Ireland don't realize just how extraordinary they are.
00:20:30.000So as you've said there, 20% of people in Ireland were born outside of Ireland.
00:20:37.000Now, to give you a sense of how extraordinary that is, during the great melting pot era in the United States, from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, the period in which we all talk about America as the great country of immigrants, around that time, between 14 and 16% of people in America were born outside of America.
00:20:59.000So Ireland now has a higher proportion of immigrants than America did in its great immigration period.
00:21:31.000If they march on the streets of Dublin to raise questions about mass immigration, as they have done, they are attacked by the police.
00:21:38.000They are demonized by the president of Ireland, who referred to them as bigots earlier this year.
00:21:43.000So I saw the riot on the 23rd of November as really the fury of the cancel, the rage off the left behind of people who feel like they've been overlooked.
00:21:53.000Because if you close down every avenue of expression to ordinary people, eventually it's going to reach a boiling point.
00:22:00.000So just walk me through then, where did this come from?
00:22:04.000Was there a radical Marxist infiltration of the institutions in Ireland over the last couple of decades?
00:22:10.000Because something here doesn't necessarily fit.
00:22:17.000And Ireland is a country with a very distinct national identity, with a rich history, with a tough history, as you've mentioned, because of outward emigration, but a very proud people, a people that have a history despite all of the headwinds and the difficulties and the famines.
00:22:35.000What is the ideological, where did the ideological cancer come from that has consumed the whole nation to basically say, if you disagree with us committing suicide, you're a bigot?
00:22:45.000Well, you know, the first thing I think to really recognize is what has caused people to feel angry.
00:22:52.000And, you know, there have been numerous violent events over the past couple of years that I think have pushed people over the edge.
00:22:58.000So there was the murder of Ashlyn Murphy, a very young school teacher who was murdered in County Offaly.
00:23:05.000It turned out that her killer was a man from Slovakia.
00:23:09.000In Sligo last year, two gay men were killed, murdered.
00:23:16.000A third gay man was very seriously injured in an attempted murder.
00:23:21.000And those three attacks, those two murders and the further attack were carried out by a man from Iraq, who was proven to have a violent homophobic hatred for gay people.
00:23:32.000That's why he attacked these three gay men in Sligo.
00:23:35.000And now we have the attack in Dublin where an Algerian man attacked three school kids.
00:23:41.000It's really important for people to understand how unusual events like this are in a country like Ireland.
00:24:01.000Everyone stops and talks in the street when they walk by each other.
00:24:05.000It's not, you know, in a crowded city like London and some cities in America, it is sadly not unknown for random acts of violence like that to occur.
00:24:17.000And that really pushed people over the edge.
00:24:19.000And what people are now asking is exactly the question you've raised, Charlie, which is why has our political class allowed this to happen?
00:24:26.000I think it's partly because the Taoiseach, the leader of Ireland, Leo Varadka, is very much in hop to the European Union.
00:24:34.000And of course, the European Union puts pressure on its member states to accept a certain number of migrants, to accept the ideology of freedom of movement.
00:24:43.000It's also because immigration has become a way for the chattering classes in Ireland to morally distinguish themselves from ordinary people.
00:24:53.000Immigration has become a tool through which they signal their virtue and say, we're open-minded, we're good people, we're anti-racist, we love people from all around the world as a way of saying we're better than the rest of you.
00:25:06.000So immigration has been weaponized by both the European Union and the Dublin establishment itself.
00:25:12.000And ordinary people, I think, have been pushed to boiling point on this question.
00:25:16.000Yeah, and the radicalism we're seeing from some of the people.
00:25:23.00052, the Irish Prime Minister, Leo Varadikar, which doesn't sound like an Irish name, maybe I'm wrong, is telling you not to connect crime with migration.
00:25:37.000The terrible events that occurred on Parnell Square on Thursday, you know, I really would ask people to try and avoid connecting crime with migration.
00:26:07.000It doesn't seem, it seems to be consuming the entire West.
00:26:11.000And so Leo Varadikar, whatever, said that the government is very white and vowed to make the institutions more diverse.
00:26:19.000This comes after the government blamed riots following an immigrant stabbing little kids on hooligans driven by far-right ideology, led in over 120,000 foreigners last year, targeting the police force, the defense forces, the education sector.
00:26:35.000So let me, I have a couple of thoughts.
00:26:37.000Was this, is this some, do they justify this through economic stimulus, saying that we need to try to improve our economy and that this helps the people of Cork and Dublin and low-wage jobs?
00:26:49.000Is that one of the ways that they try to pitch this to the Irish?
00:26:54.000That is one of the ways they try to pitch it.
00:27:06.000It is being reported that the man who carried out the stabbing in Dublin is someone who has benefited from state resources and state welfare for quite some time.
00:27:15.000So sometimes immigrants contribute to the country of Ireland and the economy.
00:27:36.000And people in Ireland ought to have the liberty to talk about that and to raise questions about the wisdom of inviting so many people into the country.
00:27:45.000As to why they're doing it, I think, yes, they justify it as a form of economic stimulus.
00:27:50.000They also use it, as I was saying earlier, as a form of political virtue signaling.
00:27:55.000You know, we are good, decent members of the European Union, and like the rest of the European Union, we are open to immigration.
00:28:02.000So, there's that element of it as well.
00:28:04.000But I think there's so much gaslighting coming from Leo Varadka and the rest of the government in Dublin because they now say that anyone who criticizes mass immigration is a racist and a member of the far right and a bigot.
00:28:21.000I know lots of people in Ireland who are liberal or left-wing or maybe centrists who increasingly feel uncomfortable with the lack of debate about immigration in Ireland, the lack of honesty about immigration, and the lack of ability for ordinary people to raise questions about this policy.
00:28:41.000So he's wrong to damn people as far right.
00:28:44.000And I think that's throwing petrol onto the fire of people's anger.
00:28:47.000Yeah, I want to keep on diving into this.
00:28:49.000I mean, there's a lot of descendants of the Irish in America.
00:28:54.000So it's very interesting to a lot of Americans here.
00:28:56.000Obviously, this is something I would expect out of Germany that has just been beat into submission to have this sort of multi-generational guilt.
00:29:04.000Like, you know, we'll keep on taking your foreigners as long as you stop blaming us.
00:29:08.000I just, I don't expect it out of Ireland.
00:29:10.000And it's really been interesting to see how some European countries, like Hungary and Poland, say, no, we're not going to do this, you know, importation of the third world thing.
00:29:20.000And other countries, in a very perplexing way, like Ireland being one, not the only one, like Scotland being another one, the United Kingdom, just say, come on in.
00:29:33.000For years, we've been talking about how our nation's public schools have been captured by progressive ideologues.
00:29:39.000They teach things that directly contradict the values of millions of Americans.
00:29:43.000That's especially true if you are a Christian family.
00:29:46.000For those of you worried about the best educational path for your kids and grandkids, I'm pleased to announce our new partnership with the folks at the Herzog Foundation.

00:30:49.000So check it out right now, Herzogfoundation.com.
00:30:55.000So Brendan, just kind of covering Europe in general, we're seeing this a little bit, not just Europe, but the Western world.
00:31:01.000You see it a little bit in Argentina, a little bit in the Netherlands.
00:31:04.000You're seeing a building rejection of the elements of mass migration, technocracy, an overly centralized Brussels-type Strasbourg-type governing elite.
00:31:19.000Walk us through from a European perspective what you're noticing and witnessing here.
00:31:24.000What are the main drivers of this political realignment?
00:31:27.000Yeah, I think there's a populist revolt taking place around the Western world.
00:31:32.000I personally find it very exciting and very important.
00:31:36.000I like to think that we Brits were kind of at the forefront of it when we voted for Brexit in 2016.
00:31:42.000We voted to break away from the European Union, which was an earthquake in Western politics.
00:31:47.000You know, Britain, alongside France and Germany, was the key member of the EU.
00:31:53.000And we kind of set the ball rolling really on a populist spirit that has gripped many parts of Europe.
00:31:59.000We've seen the rise of Giorgio Maloney in Italy.
00:32:02.000We've seen the success of the Sweden Democrats in Sweden, which is a party that criticizes immigration.
00:32:09.000You mentioned Geert Wilders most recently, his surprise victory in the Netherlands.
00:32:14.000You know, what's really interesting, and I think some of your listeners may not be aware of this, is that actually people in Ireland beat us to the punch because in the 2000s, in 2001, the Irish people voted against the Nice Treaty, which was a treaty to expand the power of the EU.
00:32:31.000And in 2007, they voted against the Lisbon Treaty, which was another attempt to expand the power of the EU.
00:32:37.000In both cases, they were ignored and forced to vote again, which created a lot of animus in Ireland towards the European Union.
00:32:45.000So I think one of the great ironies about Ireland is that the political class there doesn't realize that even its own population, who they think are just a bunch of idiots, that's how they treat them, even they are sceptical of the growing technocratic power of the EU.
00:33:01.000And even they have flirted with the populist ideals that we've seen growing up over the past couple of decades.
00:33:07.000So I think what's happening in Europe is that working class communities in particular, working class voters, the left behind, the people who are ignored, the kind of people who in the United States formed the backbone of the vote for Donald Trump, they have risen up and said, we're sick of being ignored.
00:33:25.000We're sick of being treated like trash.
00:33:27.000We're sick of being gaslit and censored and demeaned.
00:33:30.000And we're going to stand up for ourselves and vote for a different way of doing politics.
00:33:34.000And they've tried that in Ireland and it failed.
00:33:37.000And I think they may well try it again because the establishment there is behaving incredibly badly.
00:33:43.000Yeah, and I think there is a Western, there's Western themes here of pushing back against the overly centralized World Economic Forum-esque type governing model.
00:33:57.000I need to play this tape here because it's so extraordinary.
00:34:09.000I spoke to a detective in Pierce Street on Saturday who was actively engaged with the social media companies throughout Thursday, who was actively engaged with TikTok, actively engaged with Meta, so Instagram and Facebook, who was actively engaged with Twitter or X.
00:34:25.000She said very clearly that social media companies, in particular TikTok and Meta, they were responding, they were engaging with Gardi and they were taking down these vile posts as they came up.
00:34:41.000They did not fulfill their own community standards.
00:34:44.000And that is why we are moving to a situation where these companies do not get to self-monitor.
00:34:49.000That's why Commission the Man has been established to make sure that these companies are held responsible because while some were responsible, others were not.
00:34:58.000So let me reassure you, Gardy were seized off this.
00:35:07.000It's absolutely staggering to me that she can be proud that the police were engaging with social media, which basically means the police were putting pressure on social media to censor certain people.
00:35:18.000That is the beginnings of a police state.
00:35:20.000When you have the police directly demanding that certain people's posts be taken down and certain people's voices be silenced, that is the beginning of a form of Stalinism.
