00:02:02.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:02:11.000 With us right now is Lee Smith.
00:02:13.000 He is a well-respected author and columnist and an expert on international relations, as we are going to kind of just give an update on what's happening in Ukraine.
00:02:20.000 We haven't even mentioned Ukraine for a couple weeks and nobody better than Lee Smith to help us unpack it.
00:02:26.000 Lee, welcome back to the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:02:29.000 Charlie, thank you very much for inviting me back.
00:02:32.000 It's great to speak with you and thanks for asking me to speak about this important topic.
00:02:37.000 Look, I mean, what I've written, what I've explained in the past is a lot of the noise that we've seen coming out of the war.
00:02:45.000 I mean, these are two countries at war, Russia and Ukraine.
00:02:48.000 So we can expect for there to be all sorts of propaganda and information warfare.
00:02:54.000 What's peculiar about this, what's peculiar about this conflict is the amount of propaganda that's coming out of the United States, in particular that's coming out of Washington regarding this war.
00:03:08.000 And as I've argued since the beginning of this conflict, what this indicates is information warfare is attached to real genuine operations.
00:03:20.000 The information warfare that's being waged against the American people regarding the conflict in Russia and Ukraine is attached to genuine operations targeting the American public.
00:03:32.000 In particular, your great audience may have seen yesterday a letter signed by former intelligence chiefs, including James Clapper, Michael Morell, Leon Panetta.
00:03:45.000 And what they are asking for, what they are warning is that the disinformation coming out of Russia means that the intelligence community needs more control over big tech.
00:03:59.000 And if you break up big tech, if you go after Google, if you go after Apple, if you go after large big tech corporations, you're going to be making American national security vulnerable.
00:04:13.000 And they've been so helpful so far, these big tech corporations to us here running national security.
00:04:21.000 What I'm getting at is that Vladimir Putin's invasion of Russia has served as cover. for the national security establishment to escalate its war against the American Republic.
00:04:36.000 That's really, that's really insightful.
00:04:39.000 So let's just kind of get a quick update because I really haven't been following it.
00:04:43.000 I've tried, but it's very confusing and there's contradictory statements.
00:04:48.000 And I just, I'm not an expert in this stuff.
00:04:51.000 So to the best of your ability, can you just kind of give us an update of where do things actually stand on the ground in Ukraine?
00:04:59.000 How far have Russian forces advanced?
00:05:02.000 What cities have totally been captured?
00:05:04.000 What is the death toll?
00:05:05.000 What is the casualty toll?
00:05:08.000 Are the Russians still adamant and trying to take Kyiv?
00:05:11.000 Give us an update.
00:05:12.000 I haven't really heard a fair and transparent analysis of this in weeks.
00:05:20.000 As I'm saying, it's very, very difficult to get information coming out.
00:05:24.000 Not only it's difficult to get information coming out because it's being curated by the American National Security Establishment.
00:05:34.000 What we understand from most of the reports we're getting is that right now, Vladimir Putin is stalled in some of his strategic goals.
00:05:48.000 I believe he's stalled in Mariupol.
00:05:52.000 And this is a major issue right now.
00:05:55.000 It appears that Russian forces are moving on the East, and that's a clear strategic goal of Vladimir Putin.
00:06:03.000 And remember, the East has been the site of Russian-backed Ukrainian separatists fighting against Ukrainian forces.
00:06:14.000 So clearly rolling up the East is an important goal for the Putin government.
00:06:22.000 So let me ask you a question here.
00:06:25.000 And there's been a lot of chatter about this.
00:06:27.000 Do you think that the Russian military very well might have been overrated, overestimated?
00:06:33.000 Just from a peer analysis, have you as an international affairs expert been underwhelmed by their ability to take land or have you actually been impressed?
00:06:42.000 What's your analysis of that?
00:06:44.000 Because there's a lot of intrigue amongst the American people of, did we just get a window into how Russia really isn't as strong as they say they are or are they holding back?
00:06:52.000 What's your insight into that?
00:06:54.000 Well, look, I mean, the nature of the conflict has changed.
00:06:58.000 And no, I don't think, again, talking about the way that this is described through Washington, right?
00:07:05.000 You look at the papers, you look at the New York Times this morning, and they're talking again about Vladimir being crazy, Vladimir Putin being isolated, right?
00:07:13.000 Vladimir Putin is not isolated.
00:07:15.000 Vladimir Putin right now is supported by the People's Republic of China, right?
00:07:21.000 This is the new bloc rising in East, that we're seeing rising in Eastern Europe with China, Russia, as well as Iran.
00:07:28.000 Here's something else about this new bloc rising.
00:07:31.000 And what I talk about, information being choked off by our own national security establishment, right?
00:07:36.000 Joe Biden, the Biden administration is imposing sanctions on Vladimir Putin, Ukraine-related sanctions.
00:07:45.000 At the same time, Vladimir Putin's foreign diplomats are negotiating with the Iranians on behalf of the Joe Biden White House to legalize Iran's nuclear weapons program.
00:08:02.000 What that will do is it will flood Vladimir Putin's war chest with at least $10 billion, more than enough to offset the sanctions that Biden has imposed on Putin and his regime, right?
00:08:19.000 So this is what I'm saying.
00:08:20.000 The information that is coming out is not giving us a correct assessment of what's going on.
00:08:26.000 So the idea that Vladimir Putin is crazy or the idea that Vladimir Putin is isolated is 100% nonsense.
00:08:33.000 In fact, he's been legitimized by the Biden administration, which is using him and his diplomats to negotiate with Iran, right?
00:08:45.000 So the idea that somehow Russian forces are much weaker than we had thought, I don't see right now any evidence that that's the case, unless people expected that this was going to happen, that he was going to overrun the entire country within a matter of weeks, and that in spite of all the support, in spite of all the ammunition, in spite of all the arms that Zelensky is getting from Western powers, somehow Putin would nonetheless be able to overrun Ukraine in a matter of, if not hours, in a matter of days.
00:09:15.000 So no, I don't see any evidence right now that we've underestimated, underestimated the Russian military or Vladimir Putin's strategic thinking regarding what he wants in Ukraine.
00:09:29.000 Yeah, so there's a, yeah, but do you think Russia is holding back in any way, shape, or form here?
00:09:35.000 I mean, because you would imagine that, or did they think they'd be able to take over Ukraine quicker?
00:09:39.000 I guess that's my question.
00:09:41.000 Right.
00:09:41.000 I mean, look, we've heard from lots of people, you know, from solid analysts that, you know, Putin is trying to limit civilian casualties.
00:09:51.000 Nonetheless, I think that there are reports coming out, many of them legitimate, that, of course, civilians are paying a heavy price, but this is war.
00:09:59.000 And this is what happens in war.
00:10:00.000 So yes, civilians are going to pay. 0.71
00:10:05.000 Okay.
00:10:06.000 Yeah.
00:10:06.000 I suppose, I guess no one really knows, right?
00:10:08.000 It's just there's such contradictory.
00:10:13.000 I think that this, for Americans, this is the central part of the war for Americans, right?
00:10:19.000 The fact that our own government is withholding information.
00:10:24.000 Look at what they've done.
00:10:25.000 Barack Obama is at the very head, right, of an operation to make sure that Americans are not getting information.
00:10:37.000 He's at Stanford today, right?
00:10:39.000 Leading their push to limit disinformation.
00:10:42.000 What that means is they're censoring information for fear it's Russian disinformation.
00:10:47.000 For Americans, this is the story of our war.
00:10:51.000 It's how our national security establishment and political officials are withholding information from us for us a free people to be able to make our own judgments and our own assessments of what's happening and how this may or may not touch on American interest and how they are using this as a platform to limit our ability to communicate with one another.
00:11:16.000 That's the central story of the Ukraine war for Americans.
00:11:20.000 And the evidence of that is how cloudy the entire thing is, why you can't get straight reports from the New York Times, from CNN, from NBC.
00:11:30.000 So Lee, will you agree with me that this is more murky than it is clear?
00:11:35.000 And I know that you're saying that the government, our government's involved, I totally agree.
00:11:38.000 But even outside of it, if you read the foreign press, it's hard to really get an idea of what's happening on the ground, like who's quote unquote winning.
00:11:45.000 It's very confusing.
00:11:47.000 Would you agree with that?
00:11:48.000 And if so, why is it that this conflict has been so hard to kind of get clear and honest coverage?
00:11:56.000 Yeah, I totally agree.
00:11:58.000 I mean, even in Europe, even in Europe, of course.
00:12:02.000 Well, because we see there are lots of different intersecting interests here.
00:12:06.000 There are political interests, there are economic interests.
00:12:08.000 Of course, we know that, you know, we know that Germany gets its energy from Russia.
00:12:14.000 So Germany is involved in a very delicate balancing act, right?
00:12:19.000 And so, but we see the European response.
00:12:21.000 I mean, they really are acting as if Vladimir Putin is Hitler.
00:12:25.000 So they're banning and boycotting.
00:12:27.000 I'm sure you saw that a couple of Russian tennis players will not be allowed to play at Wimbledon this year, right?
00:12:34.000 So everyone who is a Russian national has to bear the burden, unless, of course, they denounce Vladimir Putin, which is preposterous, especially given the number of family members that all of the musicians or ballet dancers or athletes will have back home, regardless of how they actually feel about Vladimir Putin.
00:12:56.000 So there are a number of different currents that are intersecting in this war in Ukraine.
00:13:02.000 And that's one of the reasons why this is so very difficult to understand.
00:13:07.000 And the Europeans are doing the same thing as the United States. 0.53
00:13:11.000 I mean, the flow of information.
00:13:12.000 Remember, let's go back to Russia game, right?
00:13:15.000 And the flow of information we had on Russia.
00:13:18.000 And then we go back to Don, the first impeachment of Donald Trump and the information we had on Ukraine.
00:13:23.000 These are political interests that are intersecting and they are polluting the information ecosystem.
00:13:30.000 And this is what we're seeing all around the world.
00:13:32.000 And the United Kingdom has an even worse problem with Russia, right?
00:13:37.000 The amount of Russian money that comes into London and all of the foreign money that basically props up London and the number of Russian oligarchs that use Russia, or rather, that use London to fight each other.
00:13:49.000 So what do we think the information ecosystem is going to be like coming out of the British press?
00:13:54.000 It's going to be even worse than the way it looks in the United States.
00:13:58.000 But of course, remember, the foundation is that this is war, right?
00:14:03.000 And in war, both sides are going to be using information warfare and they're going to be trying to shape a number of different realities.
00:14:10.000 The first reality they need to shape is the home front, right?
00:14:16.000 They have to keep up morale and they're looking to target the morale of the other side, right?
00:14:21.000 So these are important goals in information warfare.
00:14:25.000 And that's what we're seeing play out right now.
00:14:28.000 What should be the role of the United States?
00:14:30.000 The role of the United States is the role of American policymakers and the role of the press should be try to explain as clearly as possible what is happening, right?
00:14:41.000 What is going on?
00:14:42.000 What has led to this?
00:14:43.000 What are likely outcomes?
00:14:44.000 Instead, what do we have?
00:14:45.000 We have the championing of Volodymyr Zelensky as one of the world's great heroes.
00:14:50.000 This is not about, you know, I'm not picking on President Zelensky.
00:14:55.000 I'm just saying that doesn't appear to me to be the role of the press or the role of American policymakers, right?
00:15:01.000 To explain what's going on.
00:15:03.000 And if there is an American interest at stake, but we're not seeing anything like that.
00:15:08.000 Again, what we're seeing is American policymakers, American press, American political activists are using the war in Ukraine to further strengthen their control over America's information ecosystem.
00:15:26.000 And again, that's the story of America's, what America's story is of the war in Ukraine.
00:15:35.000 Lee, thank you so much.
00:15:36.000 Really appreciate it.
00:15:37.000 Deeply appreciate you coming on.
00:15:38.000 You're terrific.
00:15:39.000 Really great insight.
00:15:43.000 Being an entrepreneur and running a business is not for the faint of heart.
00:15:46.000 I have two jobs.
00:15:46.000 I'd do the Charlie Kirk show till noon, then Turning Point USA till I go to sleep and all the problems in between.
00:15:51.000 A lot of stress.
00:15:52.000 330 days on the road I spent last year.
00:15:55.000 But if you're not careful, the stress can start to take a toll on your body, raising your blood pressure, making it harder to sleep, draining you of vital energy, and making you more irritable.
00:16:03.000 That's why I recommend you supplement with magnesium daily.
00:16:06.000 About 75% of people are magnesium deficient.
00:16:09.000 That number might be higher among business owners and C-level professionals.
00:16:13.000 That's because stress depletes magnesium levels.
00:16:15.000 This can trigger a various cycle of rising stress and severe magnesium deficiency.
00:16:20.000 This deficiency can lead to higher levels of anxiety, irritability, trouble sleeping, and low energy.
00:16:25.000 It can even contribute to foot and leg cramps while you sleep.
00:16:28.000 Now, you might be wondering, does magnesium really affect all these things?
00:16:31.000 Well, the answer is yes.
00:16:32.000 In fact, magnesium is involved in more than 300 chemical processes inside your body.
00:16:37.000 So a lot of different things can start to go wrong if you're deficient.
00:16:39.000 The good news is you can experience a number of positive health benefits just by getting enough magnesium, including better sleep, more energy, healthy blood pressure, less irritability, a calmer mood, stronger bones, reduced muscle cramping, and even a few migraines.
00:16:51.000 But to experience these health benefits, you have to get the right kinds of magnesium.
00:16:54.000 Truth is, most magnesium supplements you find in health stores use the only two cheapest synthetic forms.
00:16:59.000 They're not full spectrum.
00:17:01.000 There are actually seven unique forms of magnesium.
00:17:03.000 You must get all of them if you want to experience its calming, stress-relieving effects.
00:17:06.000 That's why I recommend magnesium breakthrough from Buy Optimizers.
00:17:11.000 It's the only full organic, full-spectrum magnesium supplement that includes seven unique forms of magnesium for stress relief, better sleep all in one bottle.
00:17:19.000 Simply take two capsules before you go to bed, and you'll be amazed by the improvements in your mood and energy levels.
00:17:23.000 And how much more rest did you feel when you wake up?

00:17:44.000 Why are the people in charge of our government talking about how food shortages are going to be coming?
00:17:50.000 It's really weird.
00:17:51.000 Play cut 73.
00:17:54.000 There's a very real risk that soaring global market prices of food and fertilizer will result in more people going hungry, further exacerbate inflation, and harm government fiscal and external positions.
00:18:10.000 And we are doing everything we can.
00:18:13.000 What are we supposed to do about food shortages?
00:18:16.000 That's a good question.
00:18:17.000 You know, we have multiple different things that are happening right now, whether it be on the inflation front, the open border front, our ability to just be able to produce basic food.
00:18:33.000 The global finance meeting focuses on war-driven food insecurity.
00:18:37.000 This is national public radio.
00:18:39.000 Global finance leaders are putting the growing crisis over food insecurity and skyrocketing food prices at Senate stage.
00:18:46.000 Members of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meet in Washington and grapple with the brutal effects of Russia's war against Ukraine.
00:18:53.000 Now, before Russia ever invaded Ukraine, we were warning about food shortages here on this program.
00:19:00.000 We were saying that because of China restricting the importation of yellow phosphorus into America, that food shortages very well might be coming very soon.
00:19:11.000 That there will be a fertilizer issue when it comes into our country.
00:19:17.000 And we're starting to see that play out right now.
00:19:19.000 Now, are food shortages by design?
00:19:21.000 I certainly hope not.
00:19:23.000 But it does show that if you are not, and this is one of the reasons why we partner with my Patriot Supply at preparewithkirk.com, if you're not able to feed your family in times of crisis, then you're only going to succumb to the supply chains that are going to be highly disrupted.
00:19:41.000 I want to just praise Ron DeSantis further.
00:19:43.000 The fact that he is pushing back against Disney is totally and completely remarkable.
00:19:48.000 Disney, which receives a $600 million tax benefit from the state of Florida, has now come out and they're obviously opposing what DeSantis is doing.
00:20:01.000 This will cost Disney about $200 million a year, where Disney is now going to be punished for their hyper-woke educational agenda towards children.
00:20:17.000 Now, the Florida Senate passed this yesterday, a $200 million penalty, but it's not even a penalty.
00:20:26.000 Instead, it's a $200 million restoration is really what it is.
00:20:33.000 It was previously a carve-out.
00:20:35.000 It previously was a special benefit, a subsidy for the Disney Empire.
00:20:46.000 And Ron DeSantis stands up against it and says, you know what?
00:20:50.000 We're not going to continue to subsidize Disney.
00:20:54.000 And this is the collegefix.com, which is another one, where DeSantis signs a bill limiting tenure at Florida public universities.
00:21:05.000 Why isn't every Republican governor in the country doing what Ron DeSantis is doing?
00:21:10.000 That's some food for thought.
00:21:12.000 It certainly is.
00:21:14.000 Now, as we look at what's happening in our country right now, I think it's important to take a step back and ask about some of the other trends and how they're all playing together.
00:21:24.000 Are we still living under a regime of fear, or is there now a restoration of individual spirit of liberty, of entrepreneurship, and trying to be forward-thinking in a more positive sense?
00:21:40.000 I can tell you right now, especially from some of the reactions to the repealing of the mask mandates, that there's a remarkable, there's a huge group of people right now that are ready to push back against what we have seen as the overarching, overbearing, heavy hand of government.
00:22:03.000 You have James Carville, though, who's supposed to be a smart person, saying a majority of Republicans are weirdos in the Twilight Zone.
00:22:10.000 Democrat strategist James Carville said on MSNBC that, quote, of course, this party, about a third of them, are pulling for Russia, which is just insane.
00:22:19.000 Yes, he wants people that will be compliant to his worldview, which is tax cut for the richest people in the world and tax the poor people, which isn't a very smart idea.
00:22:28.000 But the problem is that they're a weird political party, says James Carville, who could be mistaken for an extraterrestrial alien.
00:22:36.000 They need to be branded as such.
00:22:38.000 These 26 QAnon people, all right, they're not necessarily the extreme. 0.99
00:22:42.000 These are people talking about testicle tanning. 0.96
00:22:44.000 No, they're not. 0.99
00:22:46.000 Gosh.
00:22:47.000 These are people who want to go to Hungary for conferences.
00:22:49.000 Hungary is actually really nice.
00:22:50.000 These are not normal people, James Carville says.
00:22:53.000 By and large, a large part of the Republican Party is just out and out weird. 0.98
00:22:58.000 When you have Moscow Mitch saying we need more sane people, that means you have a lot of crazy people. 0.96
00:23:03.000 James Carville finishes by saying the weirdos are becoming a majority. 0.95
00:23:08.000 You look at their commentators.
00:23:09.000 They're actually pulling for Russia.
00:23:11.000 You look at Rick Scott's tax plan.
00:23:13.000 He wants to tax another 75 million people.
00:23:15.000 He wants to tax the hotel maids.
00:23:17.000 They don't pay enough.
00:23:18.000 This is all just complete propaganda.
00:23:20.000 It's just not true.
00:23:21.000 James Carville says their life is too easy.
00:23:23.000 Working in nursing home facilities, they need to just pay taxes. 1.00
00:23:26.000 You're too young to remember, but the Twilight Zone, they're out there in the Twilight Zone.
00:23:30.000 Well, look, Rod Sterling, Who was the host of the Twilight Zone?
00:23:38.000 I think would completely disagree.
00:23:42.000 New story out here. 0.67
00:23:43.000 Experts say that the defund police movement led to a massive spike in black murders.
00:23:49.000 The immediate aftermath of George Floyd, and you can go back to our videos and our podcasting.
00:23:54.000 We predicted this entire thing on our program, that there would be a significant and brutal spike in black murders and black-on-black violence, otherwise known as what is the Ferguson effect that Heather McDonald came in our program and talked about.
00:24:09.000 We should have Heather McDonald back on our show. 1.00
00:24:12.000 According to Fox News, in 2019, at least 7,484 black Americans were murdered.
00:24:17.000 The number shot up to at least 9,941 in 2020, meaning there was an increase of 2,400 more black people murdered over the previous year.
00:24:27.000 The number of black murders was also far higher than white murders in 2020.
00:24:32.000 The Federal Bureau of Investigation shows that 7,000 white people were murdered that year, meaning 2,898 more black people were killed compared to whites.
00:24:40.000 But who's killing them? 0.97
00:24:41.000 It's black on black crime. 1.00
00:24:42.000 It's not white people killing them. 0.95
00:24:44.000 Between 2010 and 2019, there was an average of 5,594 white murders, which is roughly 16% lower than the 10-year average of black murders. 0.82
00:24:54.000 During that same time period, an average of 6,927 black Americans were murdered each year, meaning black murders shot up by 43% in 2020 compared to the previous 10-year average.
00:25:06.000 The St. Louis police chief, Sam Dotson, coined the increase, the Ferguson effect, in November 2014, and the theory gained widespread attention in 2016, according to the PJ Media.
00:25:16.000 After the Manhattan Institute, Heather McDonald wrote the opinion, where the Black Lives Matter narrative about racist homicidal cops is produced, hostility in the streets.
00:25:24.000 So the more BLM gets taken seriously in their national real estate hedge fund practices, the more dangerous black communities actually become. 1.00
00:25:38.000 Now, of course, BLM is silent now when they're confronted with data showing a massive 2020 spike in black murder victims.
00:25:46.000 Black Lives Matter organization did not respond to Fox News' digital request.
00:25:50.000 Of course not.
00:25:51.000 Now, BLM is under massive scrutiny right now for nonprofit fraud.
00:25:57.000 I could tell you, as someone who runs a nonprofit, they are, it's not even a political issue.
00:26:01.000 The fact they don't want to fill out 990s and very basic information, like, where's your headquarters?
00:26:06.000 They bought a multi-million dollar mansion, BLM did, in Los Angeles, which is supposed to be a black space for creators, a safe space for black creators.
00:26:20.000 They bought a mansion in Canada.
00:26:23.000 We've known this for a while, yet white woke liberals, including white woke pastors, which we've called out time and time again, people like Andy Stanley, people like Rick Warren, people like that guy in Dallas, used to be super popular.
00:26:38.000 I can't remember.
00:26:39.000 Oh, Chandler.
00:26:40.000 That's right.
00:26:40.000 I think his name's Chandler.
00:26:41.000 They were all into the BLM thing.
00:26:43.000 People like Levi Lusko, people like Judas Smith, all these pastors call themselves pastors.
00:26:49.000 Maybe they are.
00:26:50.000 I really don't think they are, but okay, whatever. 0.98
00:26:52.000 They were all quick to be the white savior liberals for the black community, yet they have now participated in more black people actually being dead. 0.99
00:27:01.000 Good job, white liberals. 0.98
00:27:03.000 We knew this was going to be the case. 0.94
00:27:04.000 If you actually want to save black people's lives, more police, harsher sentences for criminals, school choice for black kids, and cleaning up the streets of crime and drugs. 0.99
00:27:15.000 You don't have to overthink this.
00:27:16.000 We've seen this happen before.
00:27:18.000 But defunding the police, again, this is so, we don't have to focus on this or dwell on this.
00:27:22.000 It shouldn't have to be like, wow, you defund the police, there's more criminals on the streets.
00:27:26.000 But now there's 2,500 more dead black people than before the increase.
00:27:31.000 So it's not just like more.
00:27:32.000 There's a 2,500%, 2,500% increase.
00:27:36.000 Now, BLM was never about this.
00:27:38.000 BLM was about getting rich, buying mansions, taking care of their own, having their own very corrupt left-wing infrastructure, try to get out the vote for Joe Biden. 0.96
00:27:47.000 And the people that pulled it off, Patrice Colors and all these people, they're getting away with it, obviously.
00:27:54.000 We'll see.
00:27:55.000 We'll see to this point. 0.98
00:27:56.000 But I don't, again, the kind of criminals that ran BLM, those black women, whatever. 0.99
00:28:02.000 They are what they are. 0.96
00:28:04.000 I'm more focused on the white liberals that thought they were doing the right thing by donating to BLM, by putting the flag outside.
00:28:10.000 And remember, it was a pressure cooker.
00:28:12.000 You lock down the country, you devoid people of purpose, no more sports.
00:28:15.000 They need something.
00:28:17.000 Floyd happens and it unleashes into this massive summer long of riots, destruction, arson, death, Kenosha burns, parts of Atlanta burn.
00:28:29.000 We see New York City totally vandalized, Los Angeles vandalized, and parts of New York still have not recovered from the riots.
00:28:34.000 They haven't.
00:28:35.000 Parts of New York City have still not recovered from the race riots. 0.98
00:28:38.000 So more black people are dead. 1.00
00:28:40.000 Communities are less safe. 0.99
00:28:41.000 Rich people are richer than ever before.
00:28:43.000 Did the BLM agenda actually achieve what you thought it would achieve?
00:28:46.000 BLM raised $90 million in one year.
00:28:49.000 Imagine if BLM used that money to actually go build schools with good teachers for black kids. 0.55
00:28:55.000 No, no, no. 0.98
00:28:56.000 Instead, put simply, BLM participated in the killing of black people directly. 0.96
00:29:02.000 We should be unafraid to say that.
00:29:06.000 For a couple of years now, people have been setting up a contest between crypto and gold, but that's like comparing a truck with an SUV.
00:29:12.000 Both carry stuff and travel from A to B, but they do different jobs.
00:29:15.000 Gold's job is to keep the value of your money safe and preserve its value.
00:29:18.000 And since Ukraine, the oil and the inflation crisis has done a brilliant job compared to stocks and other investments.
00:29:24.000 So if you're worried about what's going on right now, who isn't?
00:29:27.000 Just talk to an expert at Noble Gold about precious metal IRAs for your retirement.

00:29:53.000 So usually when I get articles sent to me about one of my upcoming appearances, it's usually the same sort of article.
00:30:00.000 It's like a smear propaganda piece.
00:30:02.000 You know, oh, Charlie Kirk is coming to Missoula, Montana, or wherever, or Burlington, Vermont.
00:30:08.000 And here's all the nonsense about him and, you know, protests expected.
00:30:14.000 So this article had part of that.
00:30:15.000 But I have to say, this guy that wrote this article here, Carter Walker from the Lancaster Online, says here, quote, Nicole Hannah Jones, comma, Charlie Kirk, visiting Lancaster this week to present differing visions of America.
00:30:31.000 I totally agree.
00:30:33.000 Nicole Hannah Jones, of course, is a con artist. 1.00
00:30:36.000 She's a racist and a liar. 1.00
00:30:38.000 She is the author and the chairwoman of the dishonest, anti-historical, ahistorical 1619 project. 0.96
00:30:47.000 The New York Times Pulitzer prize-winning 1619 project, right, of course, sure, which traced economic and political inequality in the current era to the arrival of enslaved Africans in Virginia 400 years ago. 0.59
00:31:00.000 Now, the 1619 project does not use original source documents.
00:31:03.000 The 1619 project has been widely criticized by historians of all different political backgrounds, but still the 1619 project gets taken seriously because in order to frame the revolution that is necessary now, they must try to disconnect people with their past.
00:31:19.000 Now, mind you, they said Charlie has made his name as a provocateur, encouraging college students to report, look, whatever.
00:31:25.000 They have all this sort of stuff.
00:31:26.000 That's fine.
00:31:27.000 They could attack me all they want.
00:31:28.000 I'll defend all that.
00:31:29.000 But more importantly, I do want to say, though, that we do have different visions for America.
00:31:35.000 Nicole Hanna-Jones believes the Constitution is racist.
00:31:38.000 I believe the Constitution is the greatest political document ever written.
00:31:41.000 Nicole Hanna-Jones cares about skin color.
00:31:43.000 I don't care about skin color. 0.91
00:31:45.000 Nicole Hanna-Jones believes the American founders were racist because Nicole Hanna-Jones will never debate me about why it is that Thomas Jefferson actually led for the abolition of slavery as governor of Virginia in the 1790s.
00:31:58.000 Why is it that Thomas Jefferson actually banned the importation of new slaves as one of his first acts as president, I believe in March of 1807?
00:32:06.000 Why is it the first anti-slavery convention ever convened was in 1775, which was chaired by Benjamin Franklin, which was an abolition slavery convention?
00:32:15.000 Why is that Virginia, I'm sorry, Vermont abolished slavery in the year 1776, inspired by the Declaration of Independence, 1777, 76, right on the cusp.
00:32:25.000 Why is it that nine out of 13 of the colonies of the United States had abolished slavery leading into the Constitutional Convention?
00:32:32.000 Nicole Hannah Jones, tell me about the Northwest Ordinance.
00:32:34.000 What does Article 6 say of the Northwest Ordinance?
00:32:37.000 Why is it that every single colony agreed that the new territory, therefore being a projection of the values shared by the nation, would be free territories?
00:32:45.000 If the American nation was a slave nation at the founding, like the dishonest lying hack propagandist Nicole Hannah Jones claims, why is it that every single member of the American Continental Congress, every state, voted that in the new Northwest territories, every single one would be free territories?
00:33:05.000 Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, and Minnesota.
00:33:08.000 Why is that?
00:33:08.000 Why is that a Northwest Ordinance demand that people would be free?
00:33:13.000 Why is it that John Quincy Adams was such a believer in the abolition of slavery that after his one term as president of the United States, went and re-ran for president of the United States, the son of John Adams, and became a vocal abolitionist and even contested for the liberation of slaves in what is known as the Amistad slavery ship story?
00:33:34.000 Why is that, Nicole Hannah Jones?
00:33:36.000 She won't answer any of those questions.
00:33:38.000 She uses secondary source documents that have been invalidated by historians because Nicole Hanna-Jones is necessary for a political revolution today.
00:33:45.000 If you can get people to feel ashamed of their past and unclear about where they're from, they'll be more likely to burn what they currently are living through.
00:33:53.000 So this article is spot on.
00:33:55.000 Nicole Hannah Jones and Charlie Kirk do have different visions for America.
00:33:59.000 I believe in one that doesn't care about skin color.
00:34:01.000 She does.
00:34:02.000 I believe in one that respects American history.
00:34:04.000 She's an arsonist of history. 1.00
00:34:06.000 So we'll both have fun in Lancaster, Pennsylvania this weekend.
00:34:08.000 We'll see who draws a bigger crowd and who's willing to actually take questions from critical audience members.
00:34:16.000 Thank you so much for listening, everybody.
