00:00:00.000 Is the Chinese regime falling apart?
00:00:02.000 We dive into that and also more on Trudeau because he just deserves a further examination.

00:00:30.000 Here, we go.
00:00:31.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:33.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:35.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:38.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:42.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:43.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:44.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:00:51.000 Turning point USA.
00:00:52.000 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.
00:01:01.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:04.000 Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.

00:01:09.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandodd.com.
00:01:15.000 Why was Stalin so brutal?
00:01:18.000 Why was Mao so brutal?
00:01:21.000 So an easy explanation is that, well, they were evil.
00:01:24.000 Yeah, of course they were.
00:01:25.000 Obviously, they were godless and soulless.
00:01:28.000 But it takes someone willing to do evil to hold on to power.
00:01:36.000 So this is the paradox of dictatorship.
00:01:40.000 The paradox of dictatorship, which Julius Caesar experienced the hard way to Napoleon, to Alexander the Great, is that it's easy to assume power.
00:01:50.000 It's really hard to hold on to it.
00:01:53.000 Because if you have absolute power, you'd be fooling yourself if other people around you wouldn't want that power for themselves as well.
00:02:00.000 And so this is the Machiavellian dilemma.
00:02:03.000 You're not exactly able to win over support by just paying people off always, or to just give them goodies.
00:02:10.000 Eventually, there will be pushback.
00:02:13.000 Eventually, people will start conspiracies.
00:02:16.000 They will start coups.
00:02:17.000 They will start efforts to destabilize you.
00:02:21.000 Again, Julius Caesar, a great example of this.
00:02:24.000 But also, many people don't know that Hitler had many attempts against his life, several failed assassination attempts.
00:02:31.000 In fact, if my memory serves me correctly, the movie Valkyrie went through this in quite great detail.
00:02:37.000 Hitler would have just sat in a different chair at a different time.
00:02:39.000 He would have been killed by an explosive suitcase.
00:02:41.000 And if I remember correctly, there was another assassination plot.
00:02:44.000 It might have been that one that was actually designed by Dietrich Bonhoeffer himself.
00:02:49.000 The people around Hitler did not always support what he did, Stalin as well.
00:02:53.000 Now, Stalin was able to hold on to power for a long period of time because he was ruthless.
00:02:59.000 There were many different wrinkles in the Communist Party of Russia.
00:03:06.000 There were the Mensheviks versus the Bolsheviks.
00:03:09.000 Stalin was eventually able to quell any rebellion.
00:03:13.000 He would just kill people at random.
00:03:16.000 An example of this is when one of his best performing generals, a guy by the name of General Tukhachevsky, was performing super well and he just killed him.
00:03:25.000 Just make an example.
00:03:26.000 And he literally said this: I just want to prove that no one is off limits.
00:03:31.000 Just did it for sport.
00:03:33.000 And because of this, when you're a dictator, there is something that sets in.
00:03:36.000 And this is exactly what the Silicon Valley people have, because they are tech dictators, is they then suffer from severe paranoia.
00:03:46.000 Once you have all this power and you have all this wealth, you start to get really concerned you're going to lose it.
00:03:52.000 This is why Jack Dorsey has become a Buddhist.
00:03:55.000 He has all this power and all this wealth.
00:03:56.000 And so then he goes to the East and he convinces himself that power and wealth mean nothing.
00:04:01.000 And honestly, that's really predictable and expectable, but I actually kind of respect it.
00:04:06.000 I would much rather Jack Dorsey go become a Buddhist than go become a Bolshevik.
00:04:11.000 Not to say that Dorsey won't continue to be a dictator in his own right, but at some point you become so paranoid that you're going to lose this thing that is important that you can either grip it harder and try to excommunicate the non-believers, or you can just totally disconnect.
00:04:27.000 Most people decide to hold on to the death grip.
00:04:30.000 So the psychology of dictators is something that is very interesting to study.
00:04:35.000 It's also very important.
00:04:38.000 And this is why dictatorships tend to not last very long.
00:04:41.000 Now, you can have ancestral dictatorships where you propagandize the public to believe you to be some sort of deity or divine figure.
00:04:49.000 This is what North Korea has done rather successfully with Kim Jong-il or Kim Il-sun or all the other Kim Jongs that I think only goes back three or four generations in the 1950s.
00:05:00.000 But China has a similar problem.
00:05:03.000 Xi Jiping, otherwise known as Winnie the Pooh, wanted desperately to become this generation's version of Mao Zedong.
00:05:13.000 He wanted absolute and total power at all costs.
00:05:17.000 Xi Ji Ping was willing to do the tough stuff.
00:05:22.000 Xi Ji Ping was willing to purge.
00:05:25.000 That's a very important word.
00:05:27.000 That word purge is necessary for a dictatorship.
00:05:31.000 Now, mind you, dictatorships tend to fall apart because you have to be always on your guard.
00:05:38.000 You have to be vigilant.
00:05:40.000 And vigilance quickly becomes paranoia.
00:05:44.000 It goes back to Napoleon.
00:05:45.000 This is one of the reasons why they had to put him on an island.
00:05:47.000 The guy wouldn't stop.
00:05:50.000 Alexander the Great would have been that way if he wouldn't have died from a mosquito on his way back from India.
00:05:54.000 It's a true story.
00:05:55.000 Died from an insect bite.
00:05:57.000 So a new story is quite interesting out of China with all of that buildup, which is there is an anti-Ziji ping article that has been going viral in China in the midst of the Olympics that may derail Xi Jinping's bid for a third term.
00:06:15.000 Now, this idea of term implies that China has some sort of representative government.
00:06:19.000 It's a peer and total dictatorship.
00:06:21.000 Now, their form of a dictatorship is all the kleptocrats sit around a table and decide who's in charge.
00:06:27.000 Now, if I remember correctly, Xi Jiping used to be a mayor of Shanghai or Beijing, or he was kind of in charge of a provincial part of China.
00:06:36.000 It was well known that Xi Jinping many years ago was going to assume power.
00:06:42.000 He just kind of had the entourage.
00:06:44.000 He had the feel.
00:06:45.000 He had the style.
00:06:46.000 He had the look.
00:06:47.000 He was willing to do it.
00:06:49.000 What I mean by the style is he presented himself in a very authoritative Chinese nationalist way.
00:06:55.000 He was able to split the difference with the West, keep the labor arbitrage going, kind of soft attack the West without actually outwardly doing it.
00:07:02.000 And that's a balance that many members of the CZP wouldn't be able to do.
00:07:05.000 But I'm reading from zerohedge.com.
00:07:07.000 Chinese experts have said that Xi might not support, secure a third term, excuse me, which will be revealed at the CCP's party congress this fall.
00:07:17.000 Although Xi amended the party's constitution in 2018 to remove term limits.
00:07:22.000 So he's basically king for life.
00:07:24.000 You remember when that happened?
00:07:25.000 He basically got rid of elections.
00:07:27.000 The 40,000-word long article listed mistakes that Xi Ji Ping has made in politics, economy, and diplomacy.
00:07:34.000 It's a summary of Xi's ruling over the past nine years.
00:07:38.000 After 2018, we all said there's no way to force to stop Xi from taking a third term, Li Heng Qing, a Chinese expert from the Washington Institute, said.
00:07:48.000 But now they see the situation isn't simple, and it's unclear that he can obtain it.
00:07:54.000 Quote, this article circulated broadly inside and outside of China, sent from several friends on the mainland of China, shows that CCP factions against Xi Jinping are fighting to stop Xi from continuing in office.
00:08:11.000 It looks like there's a little trouble in paradise.
00:08:14.000 While they get the Olympics and they're on the world stage, and they basically got away with the crime against humanity of the last hundred years, developing, hatching, and either intentionally or unintentionally releasing a killer virus on the planet, lying about it, covering it up, coming out wealthier and stronger than ever before, getting the Olympics because of it, and seeing the American currency deteriorated, our borders wide open, our elections totally corrupted, your Belt and Road initiative goes unthwarted.
00:08:43.000 Yeah, I'd say that China's actually had a pretty good last couple years with all of that.
00:08:47.000 But still, there's trouble in paradise.
00:08:52.000 On January 19th, this author wrote this article called Ark in China.
00:08:57.000 Now, let me just pause.
00:08:58.000 If this was done by the CIA, it would be the first useful thing they did in the last 50 years.
00:09:05.000 This is what the CIA should be doing.
00:09:08.000 The CIA should be working with dissidents in China that pretend to be CCP plants, working on this kind of very persuasive narrative form and helping distribute it.
00:09:19.000 We used to do stuff like this.
00:09:21.000 And again, I'm not really big on like regime change, but a weaker China is good for America.
00:09:26.000 That's a fact.
00:09:27.000 Published the article, Evaluate Xi Jinping Objectively.
00:09:31.000 It was published on overseas Chinese blogs.
00:09:34.000 And since the Chinese New Year on February 1st, the commentary of Xi's leadership became viral among readers inside China.
00:09:40.000 Taiwan's state-run central news agency reported on February 9th that people in China had spread the article widely, although Chinese regime censored the piece.
00:09:49.000 The commentary reviewed Xi's performance over the past decade in his anti-corruption campaign, the party's ongoing eradication of independent religion and beliefs, human rights and abuses, its tight surveillance and control of the people, enhancement of propaganda, further revision of children's textbooks and history books, the strengthening of state-run enterprises, the suppression of the private sector, conflicts with the Western world, and winning over developing countries by squandering the national treasury.
00:10:15.000 Is Xi Jiping going to be dictator for much longer?
00:10:20.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?
00:10:22.000 Producer Andrew's right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.
00:10:25.000 And truth is, I know there are millions of people.
00:10:27.000 In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
00:10:32.000 That can do it, getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.
00:10:37.000 They are on a mission.
00:10:38.000 You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
00:10:40.000 They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.
00:10:46.000 And I believe they'll do it.
00:10:47.000 So here's the deal.

00:11:16.000 There's a great piece in Newsweek.
00:11:18.000 I believe this is by Gordon Chang.
00:11:20.000 It actually doesn't say which the author in my little pop-up, but yes, it is by Gordon Cheng.
00:11:24.000 Gordon's great.
00:11:25.000 We're going to have him back on the program.
00:11:27.000 If Xi Jiping's zero COVID Olympics coronation fails, his enemies in Beijing are ready.
00:11:34.000 Now, I have made a point not to watch the Olympics.
00:11:36.000 I watched a little bit of it the other night, and the Americans actually did quite well.
00:11:41.000 The Americans are doing better than I thought they would.
00:11:43.000 The Norwegians are in first.
00:11:45.000 It depends how you tabulate it, total medals versus gold medals.
00:11:48.000 But the Americans will do a pretty fair showing as long as we beat the Chinese.
00:11:51.000 I was so upset last night, though.
00:11:55.000 We watched it for like 10 minutes.
00:11:57.000 And that woman, Eileen Gu, her attitude and her lack of patriotism just bothers me.
00:12:07.000 She was born in America, went to Stanford, trained in America, was on Team USA, and obviously she was recruited by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:12:14.000 She was given money under the table, but she's a Chinese citizen, so you just have to disclose any of that now.
00:12:18.000 She shouldn't be allowed entry back into the United States.
00:12:20.000 And she won silver, thankfully.
00:12:22.000 She fell, which was terrific to see.
00:12:22.000 She choked.
00:12:25.000 And the Swiss actually won.
00:12:26.000 Switzerland's a great country.
00:12:27.000 They care about their people.
00:12:28.000 And they're a good ally because they have no enemies.
00:12:31.000 Okay, so Gordon Chang writes: quote: As the opening ceremonies get underway in Beijing, most observers say the Chinese state is far stronger than it was 14 years ago, able to bend companies, institutions, and governments to its will.
00:12:42.000 In fact, the regime is more fragile actually than it was in 2008.
00:12:45.000 Xi is facing internal resistance to his rule.
00:12:48.000 Despite what China watchers almost universally believe, he might not receive an unprecedented third term this fall.
00:12:56.000 A failed games would almost certainly quash his chances.
00:12:58.000 Now, I wouldn't say that these games have been a failure for him.
00:13:03.000 It's actually probably been a success under his own measurement.
00:13:07.000 I can't wait for the story in the Washington Post.
00:13:09.000 China deserves credit for pulling off the impossible games.
00:13:12.000 I get to see the American news media fawning over it.
00:13:15.000 What a great job they did.
00:13:16.000 Yeah, okay.
00:13:19.000 Most of all, given China's role in unleashing the global pandemic, it means Xi's zero-COVID strategy must work.
00:13:26.000 With the pressure on Xi, he is sweating the details.
00:13:29.000 Quote, preparations for these games reflect Xi's style of governance.
00:13:33.000 He's been at the center of each decision, from the layout of the Olympic village to the brand of skis and ski suits.
00:13:39.000 China's leader has made numerous inspection trips to the facilities in the hills of Beijing municipality, issuing orders like a construction manager.
00:13:48.000 Xi knows that he'll be held responsible for anything that might go wrong.
00:13:51.000 And that is true for more than just the Olympics.
00:13:54.000 He inherited a regime run by a committee when he became general secretary of the Communist Party in November 2012.
00:14:00.000 And he helped run the Olympics back in 2008 and got a lot of credit for it.
00:14:04.000 But there are fault lines.
00:14:06.000 And the drums against Xi are building, the drums of resistance.
00:14:13.000 Similar to when Vladimir Lenin was experiencing infighting, for example, Vladimir Lenin had Leon Trotsky killed.
00:14:24.000 Actually, my ears might be a little bit off, but I know Lenin basically excommunicated Leon Trotsky.
00:14:29.000 If my memory serves me correctly, Leon Trotsky was killed in Mexico by Soviet agents.
00:14:35.000 I think it was like 1925.
00:14:36.000 No, no, it was later than that, like 1932.
00:14:39.000 Trotsky was a different type of communist than Vladimir Lenin.
00:14:44.000 They were comrades, obviously, in the Russian Revolution of 1917.
00:14:49.000 Was it 17 or 18?
00:14:51.000 17.
00:14:52.000 But then all of a sudden, they start to have disagreements on how to actually govern.
00:14:56.000 Wow, it was 1940 Trotsky was killed.
00:14:57.000 I'm sorry.
00:15:00.000 Quote: Due to the cruelty and bloody infighting within the party, Kai Zhai, a former professor of political ideology at the CCP Central Party School, a defector, if you will, quote, due to the cruelty and bloody infighting within the party, all senior officials understand the hidden rule, which is to choose a faction and fight for it without thinking about what's right or wrong.
00:15:20.000 It's only power.
00:15:22.000 Machiavelli's Prince is probably the most applicable book to this because it was all about Italian families fighting in the 1520s.
00:15:31.000 Quote, the viral article against Xi Jinping is echoing the opinion of Chinese politicians.
00:15:36.000 It stands on the point of maintaining the CCP's ruling in China, but removing Xi Jinping.
00:15:42.000 Quote, at the sixth plenary session of the rubber-stamping legislature in the 19th conference, the CCP factions presented their severe disagreements.
00:15:50.000 This is a strong article that can drive public opinion against Xi.
00:15:55.000 So, why does this matter for America?
00:15:56.000 Well, China's trying to take over the world.
00:15:58.000 China has executed their Belt and Road Initiative.
00:16:01.000 China owns land all across the United States.
00:16:03.000 China wants to take over Taiwan.
00:16:05.000 China sends their spies, otherwise known as college students, all across the country to harvest and mine data and send it back to the Chinese Communist Party military apparatus.
00:16:13.000 China builds Confucius Institutes all across America.
00:16:16.000 But if China has a fractured leadership, then all of a sudden all those easy decisions that they made and the shots that they called wouldn't be so easy.
00:16:23.000 I think Xi J Ping can survive this, but only for so long.
00:16:28.000 Maybe the paranoia will be his downfall.
00:16:31.000 We'll see.
00:16:35.000 Look, there's so much political pressure out there from the left and the woke mob, and it's from the Democrat Party.
00:16:40.000 Our society has ultimately been controlled by canceled cultural elites.
00:16:44.000 Look, we talk openly on this program about what you need to do.
00:16:49.000 And so I am involved.
00:16:51.000 I am invested personally and also through the Charlie Kirk show to try to do everything we possibly can to try and push back against these Democrats and their lies.
00:17:01.000 And so look, you can get a signed picture by President Trump himself.
00:17:03.000 Look, I vetted this.
00:17:05.000 It's terrific.
00:17:06.000 And not only will you be taking a stand against the radical left, you'll be entering the winning piece of history itself.
00:17:12.000 All you have to do is text the word victory to 55404 today to enter.
00:17:17.000 That's VIC-T-O-R-Y to 55404.
00:17:21.000 Join me in standing up for President Trump and canceling the radical left.
00:17:24.000 Look, here's what we're really doing, though.
00:17:26.000 We're building a grassroots army to push back, to try to win the Senate race in Georgia, try to win the Senate race in Arizona.
00:17:32.000 This is paid for by the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
00:17:35.000 And I could tell you this: we have got to retire Chuck Schumer.
00:17:38.000 So text right now to win a signed picture with President Trump, VICTORY 55404.
00:17:45.000 Take out your phone right now, free of charge, V-I-C-T-O-R-Y-55404.
00:17:55.000 I want to go through just some sound here.
00:17:56.000 We're going to play a bunch of sound just about what's happening in Canada and kind of some of the public opinion around this.
00:18:03.000 So let's go to cut 54.
00:18:05.000 A trucker says, look, this is a defining moment in Canada.
00:18:09.000 You have declared martial law, which is totally true.
00:18:11.000 Trudeau has declared martial law on the people of Canada.
00:18:16.000 Play Cut 54.
00:18:17.000 So let's be clear.
00:18:18.000 This is a defining moment in the history of Canada, in the history of the English-speaking West.
00:18:24.000 The Emergencies Act is martial law.
00:18:27.000 It has never been invoked in the history of that country.
00:18:31.000 Now, by law, the Emergencies Act is allowed only in emergencies, in, quote, urgent and critical situations that seriously endanger the lives, health, or safety of Canadians.
00:18:42.000 What's happening now does not qualify.
00:18:44.000 What's happening in Canada now is not an emergency.
00:18:48.000 So it's Tucker, not a trucker.
00:18:50.000 Sorry, I was misreading my sheet.
00:18:55.000 Let's go to Cut 43.
00:18:56.000 Bill Maher blasts Trudeau for his comments on the protesters.
00:18:59.000 Play Cut 43.
00:19:00.000 Or maybe this is September, but he was talking about people who are not vaccinated.
00:19:06.000 He said they don't believe in science.
00:19:07.000 They're often misogynistic, often racist.
00:19:10.000 No, they're not.
00:19:11.000 That was not smart of him at all.
00:19:12.000 Right.
00:19:13.000 He said, but they take up space.
00:19:16.000 And with that, we have to make a choice in terms of a leader as a country.
00:19:20.000 Do we tolerate these people?
00:19:22.000 It's like, tolerate these.
00:19:23.000 Now you do sound like him.
00:19:25.000 And recently he talked about them holding unacceptable views.
00:19:31.000 I'm surprised to hear that Trudeau said those things.
00:19:35.000 You didn't see the blackface?
00:19:38.000 Is that that crystal woman?
00:19:40.000 What's her name again?
00:19:41.000 Marianne something?
00:19:44.000 She's the person.
00:19:46.000 Mary Ann Williamson, the crystal woman.
00:19:48.000 That's right.
00:19:51.000 So Trudeau was very, let's say, adamant and supportive behind Indian protests when the protesters in India, the farmers, were protesting, even though it deteriorated India-Canadian relations.
00:20:09.000 But when it came to actually supporting the people of his own country that actually might have some concern, he's very much involved in the dehumanization of the people of Canada.
00:20:22.000 Cut 32, Justin Trudeau declaring martial law.
00:20:27.000 If you joined the protests because you're tired of COVID, you now need to understand that you are breaking laws.
00:20:37.000 The consequences are becoming more and more severe.
00:20:42.000 You don't want to end up losing your license, end up with a criminal record, which will impact your job, your livelihood, even your ability to travel internationally, including to the U.S. We've heard your frustration with COVID, with the measures that are there to keep people safe.
00:21:03.000 Now, mind you, Trudeau is not alone in this.
00:21:06.000 The only reason why Biden is not acting the same way is because of the United States Constitution.
00:21:13.000 And also, it's because of the people.
00:21:15.000 Now, I've been talking a lot about the Constitution on this program, and you guys know that.
00:21:19.000 But it's not all the Constitution.
00:21:22.000 So you can transport the American Constitution into any country, and it will certainly help.
00:21:29.000 But it doesn't mean it's going to stick, and it doesn't mean people are going to follow it.
00:21:33.000 A good example of this is Liberia.
00:21:35.000 Liberia is a country, literally, that was supposed to be the country of liberty.
00:21:40.000 It's a country where, originally designed by President Monroe, the capital of Liberia is Monrovia, literally.
00:21:47.000 It's on the western horn of Africa.
00:21:49.000 Not the horn, I'm sorry.
00:21:50.000 It's on the western part of Africa.
00:21:51.000 The horn's on the eastern part.
00:21:52.000 It's on the western part of Africa.
00:21:55.000 And Liberia is right near the Ivory Coast and Sierra Leone.
00:22:00.000 And it was supposed to be a country where if slaves wanted to go back to Africa, they could.
00:22:05.000 You're not even allowed to say that anymore.
00:22:07.000 I'm just saying if they wanted to, it's supposed to be a problem.
00:22:07.000 I'm not supporting it.
00:22:09.000 And it's a total disaster.
00:22:11.000 Now, you go look at the Liberian flag.
00:22:14.000 I think we've done this once or twice before on this program.
00:22:16.000 Maybe not.
00:22:16.000 The Liberian flag is almost identical to the American flag, almost identical.
00:22:20.000 Most Americans don't know this.
00:22:22.000 But Liberia is a disaster.
00:22:23.000 It's not a good country.
00:22:25.000 Now, Liberia is better than some of its neighbors, for sure.
00:22:29.000 But Liberia has port access.
00:22:30.000 Liberia has rule of law.
00:22:32.000 We actually transported at the time some of the same constitutional principles and put it into Liberia, trying to make this argument that, oh, yeah, we can neoliberalize every culture.
00:22:42.000 It just didn't work.
00:22:43.000 Now, it didn't work because one person is better than the other.
00:22:46.000 I'm not making some sort of racial argument, obviously.
00:22:49.000 But here's the problem.
00:22:50.000 The people of Liberia, in the villages, in the hills, they did not have the buildup of history that was willing to eventually embrace enlightenment principles mixed with antiquity.
00:23:00.000 You can't just teleport them in.
00:23:03.000 Like, oh, yeah, you've been living a certain way.
00:23:06.000 You've been living tribal and you've been living primal.
00:23:10.000 And so if you go look at the Liberian Declaration of Rights, it feels very similar to ours.
00:23:15.000 But they just don't follow it.
00:23:17.000 The point is that the Constitution quickly just becomes a piece of paper, as Piers Morgan called it 10 years ago in his conversation with Ben Shapiro, if the people don't believe it, if the people don't own it.
00:23:31.000 And so if Biden had the power to do this, he would do it.
00:23:38.000 But we would rise up so quickly against it.
00:23:40.000 I'm convinced of that.
00:23:41.000 More so than the Canadians.
00:23:42.000 Now, not every part of the country.
00:23:43.000 I thought that I was wrong.
00:23:45.000 I thought that there would be a liberty movement against lockdowns and masks widespread in like April of 2020.
00:23:51.000 Goes to show how off the mark I was.
00:23:54.000 I thought I was living in a much more freedom-loving country than I really was.
00:23:59.000 But still, we're a lot more rambunctious than Canada.
00:24:03.000 And I do want to give some credit to the Senate Republicans, which just all kind of ties together to this story.
00:24:08.000 But here's the evidence of how I know Biden would use the military.
00:24:12.000 He would, if he could.
00:24:13.000 If Biden had Trudeau-like powers, and there was a Canadian Constitution, the Canadian Constitution basically has all the rights that you have are subsequent to the state.
00:24:22.000 We have no such declaration in our document.
00:24:25.000 Our document says the government is always subservient to our natural rights.
00:24:29.000 Speech comes before the ability for the government to operate.
00:24:32.000 Play cut 25.
00:24:35.000 Message to people who want desperately for this to be over and to be able to resume the lives that they remember.
00:24:42.000 Well, look, I love how people talk about personal freedom.
00:24:51.000 You're exercising personal freedom.
00:24:53.000 Should put someone else in jeopardy, their health in jeopardy.
00:24:57.000 I don't consider that being very damn good freedom.
00:25:02.000 Let's actually play out that statement.
00:25:04.000 Biden would ban driving immediately.
00:25:07.000 Driving, by definition, puts other people's health at jeopardy.
00:25:09.000 People die every single day on the road, every day.
00:25:12.000 But is that personal freedom or is it not?
00:25:15.000 That same sort of argument will be used to confiscate firearms.
00:25:18.000 That's a whole separate topic for a different time.
00:25:20.000 But all the public health arguments, all the language they're trying to get you to be propagandized, hypnotized by, is going to be used to take your guns away very soon.
00:25:31.000 But in order to push back against much of this, a lot of this nonsense, it's going to take courageous truth tellers.
00:25:38.000 And honestly, someone that I have not spent, I don't think, any time on this program talking about, but I have a great deal of respect for the Kyrie Irvings of the world and the Novak Zojkoviches of the world.
00:25:49.000 Now, I grew up with a lot of Serbs in Chicago.
00:25:51.000 I have a soft spot for Serbs.
00:25:53.000 They're awesome.
00:25:53.000 I know the worst thing you could say in the Serbian language.
00:25:55.000 And I will not say it on air because the FCC would find some way to still find me.
00:26:00.000 I played on a Serbian basketball team, actually.
00:26:02.000 My name was Sheva Kurkiewicz.
00:26:05.000 I have a jersey that says Kurkovic.
00:26:05.000 I could you not.
00:26:08.000 The name of our basketball team was the Illinois White Eagles.
00:26:12.000 Boy, you couldn't call a team that anymore.
00:26:13.000 And we were all white, Illinois White Eagles, in an AAU basketball team.
00:26:17.000 And we meant nothing racial about it, of course not, because we actually lived in America that was awesome.
00:26:21.000 We used to play all black basketball teams and we used to get along.
00:26:24.000 I could you not.
00:26:25.000 We were an all-white, everyone else was Serbian except me, but I kind of looked apart a little bit.
00:26:30.000 I kind of look a little bit like I'm from the Balkan Peninsula.
00:26:33.000 I could pull off a Croatian, Bosnian, Albanian, Serbian kind of deal.
00:26:36.000 And we would go to these basketball tournaments, AAU, which is really competitive basketball, and like Waukegan or Zion Benton and Elgin.
00:26:43.000 We'd travel all across the country and we'd play these all-black teams and no one cared.
00:26:49.000 It was never like this racial thing.
00:26:50.000 No, it's like we all got along and we all like hung out.
00:26:53.000 We'd be like all white team versus all black team and we never thought anything of it.
00:26:58.000 I could you not, there was never a moment ever, and this is a little bit of a detour, where all of a sudden we were like, yeah, we're the white team.
00:27:03.000 We were like, yeah, we just kind of all know each other and they all know each other from like a Serbian community.
00:27:07.000 It's kind of cool.
00:27:08.000 And it was that.
00:27:10.000 But Novak Dzojkiewicz is a Serb and he's a proud Serb.
00:27:12.000 He's awesome.
00:27:14.000 And I just want to spend a couple minutes here applauding and encouraging him and saying, this is what a hero looks like.
00:27:23.000 Now, if we had an honest press, he'd be on the front page of the papers.
00:27:26.000 He'd be like, this is someone who's willing to sacrifice money and pleasure for virtue and courage.
00:27:32.000 Play cut 44.
00:27:34.000 And I understand that not being vaccinated today, I'm unable to travel to most of the tournaments at the moment.
00:27:43.000 And that's the price you're willing to pay.
00:27:45.000 That is the price that I'm willing to pay.
00:27:47.000 Ultimately, are you prepared to forego the chance to be the greatest player that ever picked up a racket, statistically?
00:27:58.000 Because you feel so strongly about this job.
00:28:02.000 Yes.
00:28:05.000 I do.
00:28:08.000 That should move you.
00:28:10.000 More so than the fake icons that we hold up.
00:28:14.000 Greta Thunberg and LeBron James and Joe Biden and all this nonsense.
00:28:20.000 That's a real hero.
00:28:21.000 He's willing to sacrifice not just money, but his legacy for medical freedom and anti-tyranny.
00:28:28.000 And guess what?
00:28:29.000 Novak Zoikovich is what, 38, 37, 38?
00:28:32.000 Is he that old now?
00:28:33.000 35, 36, 37.
00:28:36.000 His parents definitely grew up under Tito.
00:28:39.000 Now, Tito was a tyrant.
00:28:43.000 Tito was someone that 34 years old.
00:28:46.000 Okay, he's 34.
00:28:48.000 Six years older than I am.
00:28:50.000 Tito was the communist leader of Yugoslavia before it became all these separate countries.
00:28:57.000 But I think he knows.
00:28:59.000 He knows what this is.
00:29:00.000 He grew up under it.
00:29:02.000 Well, six years.
00:29:03.000 Yeah, that's about right.
00:29:04.000 Tito died in like 91.
00:29:06.000 Play cut 45.
00:29:08.000 I was never against vaccination, but I've always represented and always supported the freedom to choose what you put into your body.
00:29:22.000 Tito died in 1980.
00:29:23.000 I got my ears off.
00:29:24.000 But yeah, the Balkan War broke out about 10, 12 years later.
00:29:29.000 Novak Zojkovich is a hero.
00:29:34.000 He deserves to be platformed by every freedom, liberty-loving person in the West.
00:29:38.000 We're going to be doing that.
00:29:39.000 We're going to be celebrating him and cheering for him.
00:29:41.000 There's so few people like this.
00:29:43.000 Freedom is a value.
00:29:47.000 If you do not fight for it, it will disappear.
00:29:51.000 Dzoikovic, he remembers the stories of tyranny from his generations prior, and he's willing to forego money, pride, treasure, and fame and notoriety for liberty.
00:30:04.000 He's a hero.

00:31:11.000 Charlie, I'm a funeral director in Central Pennsylvania.
00:31:13.000 I wanted to confirm what you were talking about in the Steve Kirsch episode.
00:31:16.000 You guys can check that out on the Charlie Kirk Show podcast.
00:31:19.000 It's quite terrifying.
00:31:20.000 I've seen blood clots longer than earthworms.
00:31:23.000 The anecdotal evidence lies with the case you get.
00:31:26.000 We are seeing unvaccinated COVID deaths having blood clots from the virus.
00:31:31.000 However, the worst blood clots are from people who passed weeks, months after the vaccine, from what is considered to be the majority of the time after a cardiac death.
00:31:41.000 I've also seen a severe rise in people in their 50s passing away.
00:31:46.000 So, what we talked about in the Steve Kirsch episode is how vaccinated people are seeing massive blood clots happen.
00:31:56.000 And this is exactly what Dr. Robert Malone warned about in the episode of Brett Weinstein all the way back in May of last year.
00:32:04.000 So, the technology that he was warning, because he's the developer of it, it's actually happening exactly consistent to that.
00:32:11.000 I'm not going to say this person's name, but he's a funeral director and deputy coroner in Pennsylvania.
00:32:16.000 Boy, I thought my job was difficult and dark.
00:32:19.000 Couldn't imagine being a funeral director.
00:32:21.000 Thank you for listening.
00:32:21.000 God bless you.
00:32:22.000 Pfizer has just tweeted out: quote: Deep vein thrombosis, a blood clot in deep vein, can travel to the lungs, leading to pulmonary embolism.
00:32:31.000 Symptoms of PE include difficulty breathing and chest pain.
00:32:35.000 Contact your doctor if you're experiencing symptoms.
00:32:38.000 This is no time to wait.
00:32:39.000 Why would Pfizer be tweeting that out?
00:32:41.000 It's likely a cover-up operation from Pfizer.
00:32:47.000 Now, our media is so controlled.
00:32:50.000 It is so captured by the pharmaceutical companies.
00:32:53.000 I don't know if they'll ever be held accountable.
00:32:54.000 That's where the people come in.
00:32:56.000 It matters more than ever before.
00:33:00.000 For all of you listening in Texas, we've known for years that the Democrats want to turn Texas blue.
00:33:06.000 We've known that.
00:33:07.000 And AOC believes that it's inevitable.
00:33:09.000 Play cut 33.
00:33:12.000 It will happen.
00:33:14.000 The only question is when, Texas.
00:33:17.000 The only question is when.
00:33:19.000 The state will turn blue.
00:33:21.000 It's going to happen with the seat of San Antonio in Austin.
00:33:25.000 It's going to spring down to Laredo.
00:33:27.000 It's going to go up to Houston and to Dallas and to all across the state, rural and urban.
00:33:35.000 Yeah, she definitely looked at a map right before that.
00:33:39.000 So that's AOC saying Texas is going to turn blue.
00:33:41.000 It's inevitable.
00:33:42.000 Well, first of all, AOC, Hispanics are actually much more conservative than you actually want to admit, and they're trending in a very conservative direction.
00:33:50.000 Hispanic turn to conservatism is very promising.
00:33:54.000 Not every conservative community, not every Hispanic community is necessarily conservative, but the trend is really promising.
00:34:00.000 But why is this happening?
00:34:02.000 It's because of open borders.
00:34:05.000 Well, she thinks that they could turn the state simply by keeping the borders wide open.
00:34:08.000 Well, AOC doesn't even believe America exists in its form.
00:34:12.000 She believes that it's a fake country.
00:34:14.000 She said it before.
00:34:15.000 AOC believes that this is stolen colonialist land.
00:34:20.000 Go look at her tweets.
00:34:22.000 She believes that people have a moral right to come back into their country, even though they weren't alive when any of that stuff happened.
00:34:28.000 Tucker Carlson explains it best.
00:34:29.000 Play cut 34.
00:34:31.000 The numbers you need to understand.
00:34:32.000 Yale University released a study last week by three researchers, all of them liberal, I believe, who concluded that the actual number of illegal aliens in this country is not 11 million.
00:34:41.000 It's north of 22 million.
00:34:42.000 22 million.
00:34:44.000 Fact one.
00:34:44.000 Fact two.
00:34:45.000 The Democratic Party is now, as a matter of policy, calling for the legalization of all illegals in this country, citizenship voting rights.
00:34:53.000 22 million new voters.
00:34:54.000 Fact three: the overwhelming majority of first-time immigrant voters vote Democrat.
00:34:59.000 Play cut 35.
00:35:02.000 Fact four: the largest margin in American presidential history was 17 million votes.
00:35:08.000 1980 election, rather, 1984 election between Mondale and Reagan.
00:35:12.000 And Reagan, yeah.
00:35:13.000 17 million.
00:35:14.000 You would add to our voter rolls 22 million at least permanent electoral majority in perpetuity.
00:35:22.000 That's what this is about.
00:35:23.000 It's not about making the country better, serving our labor needs, helping the population.
00:35:26.000 It's about putting Democrats in power forever.
00:35:30.000 And that's what they want.
00:35:31.000 And AOC knows it.
00:35:33.000 They want to keep the borders open to hold on to political power.
