00:01:00.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:08.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:41.000A lot of you are asking, you know, what about that moment where Vivek sort of attacked Nikki Haley and her daughter for using TikTok because he's come under some criticism for also using TikTok.
00:02:35.000I think Trump, from what I'm hearing from Inside Chatter, is actually going to make good on that promise if given a second shot, or he'll sell it.
00:02:42.000I think we should just ban it, get rid of it altogether.
00:02:44.000But realize this, folks, 50% of Gen Z uses TikTok as their search engine.
00:02:50.000It's not just a social media platform for them anymore.
00:02:53.000It's a search engine for 50% of Gen Z.
00:05:07.000The one man on that stage that understands the state of the country, the urgency with which we are dealing with right now is Vivek Ramaswamy.
00:05:17.000Now, I actually think that DeSantis did fine.
00:05:51.000I'm sure he knew exactly where he was going the second he walked onto that stage.
00:05:57.000Because I know Vivek personally, and I can tell you that if you are fed up with the RNC, if you're fed up with Ronnie McDaniel, if you're fed up with the way that this game is played, he's been living it day in, day out, working his tail off on the campaign trail, and he is pissed.
00:06:54.000Maybe the option for him in the back of his mind is that, hey, if something happens where Trump is unable to proceed, God forbid, something on the health front, God forbid, these legal challenges against Trump actually have teeth and they're able to get to him before election day.
00:07:13.000Maybe Vivek is looking at an option B, but he is wisely.
00:07:17.000And this is why I want to go back to something Charlie tweeted yesterday.
00:07:21.000Vivek would make a phenomenal RNC chair, in my opinion.
00:07:26.000Now, I know there's some disagreements.
00:07:28.000You know, people are still learning how to trust Vivek.
00:07:31.000But I will tell you what, if Vivek's one contribution to this is to mainstream the rebellion against the establishment, against this cronyism that has come to corrupt our party, our movement, then that will be more than worthwhile.
00:09:22.000He's not afraid to upset the apple cart and to change the way things have always been done, especially when the way we've always been doing things only makes us lose elections.
00:09:34.000And now with Rana trying to distance herself from Virginia, from Kentucky, from saying that she didn't outright call for cutting off funding for Vivek's campaign via the RNC, and we're not giving you a red cent.
00:09:50.000This is the ecosystem that we have been living in here on the turning point side in the grassroots.
00:09:59.000America's colleges and universities today are less concerned with critical thinking than with indoctrination.
00:10:04.000It is no wonder why so many young Americans embrace cancel culture, deny free speech to conservatives, and even celebrate terrorism.
00:10:11.000But I'm happy to report there is one college where students debate ideas openly and honestly, where they pursue truth together with their professors, and where America's great heritage of liberty is studied and revered.
00:10:23.000As stated in Hillsdale's founding document in 1844, Hillsdale's original mission was to offer the kind of serious liberal arts education needed to preserve the blessings of civil and religious liberty across the land.
00:10:34.000And this mission continues to guide Hillsdale College today.
00:10:37.000You can learn more at my favorite college's website, charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:10:41.000There you will find a short video that's just over a minute long showing how Hillsdale's work, not only on its Michigan campus, not only in Washington, D.C. campus, but across the nation, is effective in defending American liberty.
00:10:55.000Take some time to watch today at charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:12:08.000What people need to understand about Joe Biden, he is one of the most stubborn political figures ever.
00:12:16.000The guy has ran for president, what, like, fact check me on this, like three times, three times he had to bow out because of a plagiarism scandal because he was ripping people off.
00:12:27.000And then he just couldn't gain traction.
00:12:29.000He could barely gain traction in this election until South Carolina, until they consolidated around him because they probably did some focus group testing and the old nice white uncle was going to unite all the different tribes within the Democratic Party.
00:12:46.000I'm telling you, we want Joe Biden to run.
00:14:06.000So you're getting people that would vote on election day.
00:14:08.000You're just getting them to put the ballot in the box earlier, which then raises other questions about chain of custody, signature verifications, all of these things.
00:14:36.000And Martha's Vineyard, she's having a nice go of it.
00:14:38.000She's got her big Netflix contracts, and her and her husband just get to run around, pick up the phone, say, hey, pass this bill, put the phone back down.
00:16:10.000We can make a difference standing for life by giving free ultrasounds with our friends at pre-born.
00:16:15.000In a Dobbs world, states decide about abortion, and so many liberal states are taking extreme stands, even allowing abortion up to literally the second before a baby is born.
00:16:26.000And in California, the demand for abortions has increased 400% in part because the state is inviting women and girls to come to California for the sole purpose of aborting their baby.
00:16:52.000A gift of $15,000 provides an ultrasound machine that can save thousands of babies for years to come.

00:17:09.000All right, so I'm going to bring in Darren Beattie now from Revolver.news.
00:17:13.000Darren, you've got a really interesting piece here.
00:17:16.000You get two pieces we're going to cover actually.
00:17:19.000But this first one is about the Nashville Diversity Obsessed Black Police Chief Hid the Trans Shooters Anti-White Manifesto.
00:17:28.000Now, Darren, this is this whole thing.
00:17:31.000I mean, people were speculating for months why we haven't seen the manifesto.
00:17:35.000Had the shoe been on the other foot, if this was a MAGA guy going in and killing like a bunch of, you know, somebody that would fit their narrative, we would have had the FBI leaking the manifesto to the New York Times on day one within like hours.
00:18:02.000And this is an evolving and quite bizarre saga as it pertains to the leaking of some of the manifesto, thanks to Steven Crowder.
00:18:10.000And my understanding, my latest understanding, is there are multiple police officers who are now on leave, if not entirely fired on account of suspicion that they may have been responsible for the leak.
00:18:24.000And so I think there are so many factors here.
00:18:26.000Obviously, there's a national factor, and we may learn more in the coming days and weeks about the national level suppression of this story, perhaps going all the way up to Merrick Garland, who is a longtime janitor.
00:18:42.000I've called him the deep states janitor because he's been doing mop-up jobs since the 90s when actually he ran Bill Clinton's portfolio for quote-unquote domestic terrorism.
00:18:53.000And he hasn't stopped since being the deep states mop-up man.
00:18:57.000And so there's many components about it.
00:19:00.000This latest piece from Revolver.news focuses on the local dynamics here and specifically the police department itself.
00:19:09.000Because while there were several, it looks like there were several heroic police officers who decided, God forbid, the American people actually know the truth about this tragedy, about this transsexual woman-to-man transsexual, which is an unusual thing.
00:19:27.000Woman-to-man transsexual who went on to kill so many people at this Covenant school, this Christian school.
00:19:36.000There is a racial component that I think surprised a lot of people because as the manifesto is suppressed, I think the assumption was the manifesto was all about how, you know, maybe the Christian church had been suppressing homosexuals and transsexuals.
00:19:54.000And people were expecting that angle, which may actually materialize as more information comes out.
00:20:00.000But in what we've seen so far, there was this really bizarre emphasis on an anti-white racial angle about killing the crackers for their quote-unquote white privileges.
00:20:12.000An awkward grammatical formulation indeed and a depraved thought, which unfortunately reflects the entirety of propaganda that people have been exposed to for many decades now.
00:20:24.000And the police chief, so getting to the crux of the story here, the police chief in Nashville is quite something.
00:20:35.000And, you know, there are several jokes, but I'll spare the audience these jokes.
00:20:40.000I'll be a good boy and not tell some jokes.
00:20:43.000But his name is John Drake, and he is the head of the Nashville Police Department.
00:20:49.000He basically catapulted in his position off of a wave of the George Floyd nonsense going on.
00:20:56.000The previous police chief had been a white guy, God forbid, who got in naughty, naughty trouble because he actually thought that the job of a police chief was to go after criminals.
00:21:10.000So he was hounded out of the police department.
00:21:13.000And the kinder, gentler, at least more anti-white John Drake took up the mantle.
00:21:20.000And what's interesting about him: so his son is actually a criminal and he was the subject of a manhunt.
00:21:29.000And there have been all this controversy about his son.
00:21:32.000And ordinarily, you know, things happen.
00:21:35.000It's not necessarily his fault, but he's stated publicly that he says it's we don't want police officers to be warriors.
00:21:43.000We want to mentor potential criminals.
00:21:47.000And that approach doesn't seem to have been working.
00:21:49.000Crime is going up in his jurisdiction.
00:21:53.000And he seems to be particularly concerned with preserving this narrative that the job of the police department is to fight racism and the perception of racism, racism always in quotes, because it means nothing to these people, rather than actually go after crime.
00:22:10.000And so this raised the question: why would the police department itself, you know, led by this individual, be so assiduous in needing to suppress the manifesto, which has anti-white elements that could complicate the George Floyd narrative that catapulted this individual into his position in the first place.
00:22:35.000So the piece does a deep dive on sort of the local dynamics and the local politics, which of course reflect a more national issue because the narrative about how white people are bad and all this, you know, it's become so commonplace in our national narrative as to almost be the default assumption of the ruling elite and those who run the institutions.
00:23:00.000Well, Darren, and let's let's get into Nashville just a little bit in particular.
00:23:16.000Yeah, I don't actually have the update on, but that's that's the you know, police chief's son right there.
00:23:22.000Now, I mean, it sounds like a terrible story.
00:23:24.000Obviously, the police chief probably doesn't like this, but you know, if you can't manage that which is closest to your own home, I think it's an interesting challenge to try and manage a whole city.
00:23:33.000Nashville, yes, it exists within the larger red state of Tennessee, one of the more conservative states, but Nashville, Darren, is a Democrat city.
00:23:56.000So we're seeing how race is once again being weaponized to obscure the truth, right, Darren?
00:24:01.000I mean, every time there's a shooting, every time there's some massive story, and we don't get the race right at the front paragraph, first line, you know, in bold letters, you can basically assume that it's not in their interest to bring up the race.
00:24:17.000And you bring up a great point, an important point about Nashville as a city, as pretty much every city in the United States, unfortunately, is a blue zone.
00:24:28.000It's a radical left Democrat zone, but actually, which, you know, and with everything that goes along with it.
00:24:36.000But Tennessee at the state level has actually been quite disappointing until recently, at least.
00:24:42.000We've at Revolver been covering the fact that Tennessee has traditionally been one of those states that's a red state that doesn't do what is available to it in order to combat things at a state level in terms of funding universities that engage in various anti-anti-white, anti-conservative type propaganda.
00:25:06.000Although I am pleased to state, as partially, I think, as some pressure that we generated by we've singled out Tennessee specifically as a state that is red, that is not living up to its capability at the state level in order to address some of these cultural and institutional problems.
00:25:23.000They recently, the state legislature, I believe, banned critical race theory and other forms of indoctrination in schools.
00:25:31.000So they have been doing a little bit, but you're right.
00:25:35.000It's plagued with a lot of the social and institutional problems that we typically associate with just any urban environment, urban municipality in the United States.
00:25:48.000And the issue going on in the police department is a perfect example of this.
00:25:53.000But in this case, I think we have one driving force because it was literally this individual who was promulgated into his position of authority on the wave of the whole George Floyd Black Lives Matter issue.
00:26:06.000And he's been a supporter of Black Lives Matter, of course, and this whole kind of ridiculous notion that if the police simply coddle criminals enough and make it their mission to avoid any perception of racism, that's somehow going to benefit the society.
00:26:24.000Well, statistics do not bear that out, as is exemplified in the soaring crime rates in Nashville since this individual tenure.
00:26:38.000I mean, this is what's so infuriating about this.
00:26:41.000And hopefully, eventually that country can turn a corner eventually.
00:26:45.000I feel like we cannot turn on the television and see one of these press conferences out of one of these big news stories, big shootings, whatever, and not see a black police chief.
00:26:56.000Now, they might be very qualified at their job, but when you see it time and time and time again, it's the crime of noticing, Darren.
00:27:05.000It's like looking at commercials and the proportion of black and brown actors does not fit the proportion of the population in the United States.
00:27:33.000It's similar to kind of what we're talking about with Nashville in the sense that you got this police chief, Drake, who rises to prominence in Nashville on the George Floyd wave in 2020.
00:27:47.000Now we're talking about how this other story, crash landing, the inside scoop about how COVID and affirmative action policy gutted aviation safety.
00:27:56.000This is about as big of a story as you can get because guess what?
00:28:00.000We all travel, we all fly, and you assume that you're safe, but there are these stories percolating in the background, right, Darren, that are actually resulting in a very unsafe situation.
00:28:13.000And hopefully, we don't have something that goes seriously wrong.
00:28:26.000It consists of a lot of research and also speaking directly with several officials within the FAA, several current and former air traffic controllers to get a comprehensive and accurate sense of what is actually going on.
00:28:42.000Because in recent months, we've seen a dramatic surge in what they call runway incursions.
00:28:52.000And that's when airplanes nearly collide with one another on the runway.
00:28:56.000And we've seen an associated rise in loss of separation events in air.
00:29:01.000That means getting very close to mid-air collisions.
00:29:04.000And in fact, to quantify it, within the past 10 years, the number of runway incursions have, in fact, doubled, which is an arresting statistic.
00:29:14.000And New York Times, to its credit, actually had some two pretty major reports just detailing this as a new phenomenon that we need to take cognizance of, because a lot of this data is actually secret and kept from the public.
00:29:32.000So we dug deeper into the issue and found that there were actually two neglected causes for a lot of what we see going on recently.
00:29:43.000And one is COVID-related, specifically COVID hiring freeze.
00:29:49.000Now, we spoke to a former senior spokesperson for air traffic control for FAA, and the diplomatic speak, the obfuscation, was quite alarming.
00:30:02.000But even this individual called Mr. McCormick acknowledged that COVID played an enormous role in specifically the hiring freeze in the loss of quantity for air traffic controllers.
00:30:23.000They were worried about the transmission of COVID more than they were worried about the nation's next major aviation disaster.
00:30:31.000And this is just what we could get him to acknowledge.
00:30:34.000This is leaving aside what I think anyone could reasonably infer, which is that the COVID vaccine mandates actually contributed to a lot of retirements because not only was there a hiring freeze, but there was a sharp spike in retirements of air traffic controllers.
00:30:55.000And given the statistics we know about how pilots were concerned about vaccine mandates, we could probably infer that a healthy percentage of the people who decided to retire were retiring in order to avoid having to take the COVID vaccine.
00:31:10.000So it's the one-two punch of freezing hiring, but also accelerating retiring that contributes to this understaffing epidemic at the core of the collapse in aviation safety.
00:31:24.000So that pertains to the quantity of air traffic controllers.
00:31:28.000There's another side of it which affects the quality of controllers.
00:31:32.000And this we've found to go back to an Obama-era policy of replacing testing mechanisms that are merit-based, merit-based sort of SAT-like tests for prospective air traffic controllers.
00:31:48.000And instead of that, using tests that test what they call bio data, which is this really bizarre jargon term for just telling people about yourself.
