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.
00:01:29.000If you're with ATT Verizon or T-Mobile, your family could save over $800 a year just by switching to PeerTalk.
00:01:35.000You'll get the same great coverage, but because they use the exact same towers as one of the big carriers, you'll save a fortune.
00:01:41.000By the way, PeerTalk is the top-rated wireless company by Consumer Affairs with the absolute best customer service team based right here in America.
00:02:27.000It wasn't as political as other Super Bowls because, of course, now that Joe Biden is president, the Democrats control the Senate and the Democrats control the House, you can't actually complain about the problems happening around you or else they might actually get blamed for it.
00:02:41.000So I actually found it refreshing that it was one of the least political sporting events that I have seen in the last couple of years.
00:02:48.000There is still some narrative placement.
00:02:52.000There is still some typical NFL, BLM Incorporated nonsense.
00:02:58.000But generally, it was a pretty enjoyable sporting event to watch.
00:03:02.000Now, full disclaimer: I am a massive Tom Brady fan.
00:03:05.000In fact, one of my earliest football memories is watching Tom Brady against the greatest show on turf, Marshall Falk, Kurt Warner, and winning the Super Bowl, the first now of seven Super Bowls.
00:03:18.000Tom Brady's been through a lot in his career, torn ACL, Spygate, the Tuck Rule, the Flightgate, and yet he continues to win.
00:03:28.000So, just to give you an idea of how dominant this athlete is, whether you like him or hate him, he has the most unbelievable track record when it comes to football in the history of the sport by far.
00:03:44.000The most Super Bowls won by a franchise is six with the New England Patriots and six with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:03:52.000Tom Brady has more Super Bowls than the most Super Bowls a franchise has.
00:03:58.000The most Super Bowl appearances by a player, I think, is a defensive tackle of five or six Super Bowls.
00:04:04.000Tom Brady has now been in 10 Super Bowls, winning seven of them.
00:04:10.000He's 43 years old, and he's playing like he's 23 years old.
00:04:16.000In fact, I think Tom Brady is playing better now at the age of 43 than he was in his 30s.
00:04:22.000It's as if he slumped a little bit around 2015 and 16, and now he is back playing at a level that would have him drafted first overall in the NFL draft.
00:04:35.000In fact, some could argue Brady is better today than he was when he was drafted 21 years ago.
00:04:44.000Every athlete came out yesterday and said that Tom Brady is the greatest of all time.
00:04:51.000There is no one even close to Tom Brady when it comes to sports, when it comes to football, and he actually might be one of the most accomplished athletes of all time.
00:05:00.000However, never allow something that should be agreed upon, not challenged, and just celebrated for just, I don't know, an hour for a couple BLM incorporated activists to take to Twitter and start complaining.
00:05:15.000You see, Tom Brady really irritates the leftist intelligentsia.
00:05:22.000Tom Brady frustrates the people in charge.
00:05:28.000Tom Brady came into the stadium yesterday not wearing a mask, but he was probably already tested for the Chinese coronavirus.
00:05:36.000So why that was such a big deal, I don't know.
00:05:39.000And the thing that bothers the BLM incorporated activists the most, in their own words, is that Tom Brady really represents racism.
00:05:48.000Brie Newsom, I'm not really sure who she is, but she's verified on Twitter.
00:05:54.000I believe she is an activist of some sort.
00:05:57.000She says, quote, there is an enormous amount of racial undertones to this entire conversation about Brady being the best athlete of all time in a way that willfully ignores black athletes past and present, as well as the ongoing systemic discrimination against black athletes in the quarterback position.
00:06:16.000What quarterback in the history of the National Football League is even close to Tom Brady?
00:06:24.000Maybe John Elway, but John Elway lost two Super Bowls.
00:06:28.000Actually, I think he lost three out of four Super Bowls before winning back-to-back Super Bowls.
00:06:35.000Terry Bradshaw, I believe Terry Bradshaw won four Super Bowls.
00:06:45.000This woman who said that is an American filmmaker, musician speaker, and activist from Charlotte, North Carolina, Brie Newsom Bass.
00:06:55.000So when Tom Brady starts to get called the greatest athlete of all time, racist.
00:07:03.000There is no accomplishment in all of sports, except maybe Tiger Woods, oh, by the way, he's black, winning as many masters as Woods has won as Brady has won Super Bowls.
00:07:50.000It was the two Harbaugh brothers playing against each other, the Ravens versus the 49ers, And Colin Kaepernick lost.
00:07:59.000Colin Kaepernick trending on Twitter because BLM activists can't stand the fact that someone that has discipline and works hard eats correctly, never allows the media to misrepresent him, goes from one franchise to the other in the midst of a lockdown and a virus with a new offensive coordinator, a new system, with a Tampa Bay team that, Connor, can you check this?
00:08:26.000I don't think Tampa Bay made the playoffs last year.
00:09:44.000It's difficult to even get on a team that could be competitive.
00:09:50.000That's not to diminish basketball's difficulty at all.
00:09:57.000And so, what's the response from the activist class on Twitter?
00:10:01.000It's racist to call Brady one of the greatest athletes of all time.
00:10:05.000No, you're actually the racist for continually trying to find race and controversy where it doesn't exist.
00:10:16.000This is a much deeper and more troubling point that I want to get into deeper about what we're looking at.
00:10:23.000Because of the incentive structure on digital and social media, there is this irresistible urge by the activist class to destroy anything successful that presents itself in front of you.
00:10:36.000Not to encourage, celebrate, but if you see any form of success, there must be something wrong with that.
00:10:45.000There must be a reason to undermine it.
00:10:48.000They must be cheating or they must be a racist.
00:10:55.000And that cultural trend is very troubling because maybe sometimes some people are able to achieve success by doing the good things in life.
00:11:05.000Working harder, applying yourself, having better strategy, maybe just being a better athlete.
00:11:16.000There's no better feeling than finding your stride.
00:11:18.000Fitbod makes it easier to find the exercises, pace, and intensity that gets you better results by building a fitness program that continually adapts to you.
00:11:27.000Build the momentum you need for a strong start to the year with 25% off a FitBod membership now through February 28th.
00:11:34.000No matter how tough your goals may seem, FitBod helps you build and maintain the habit to get there with dynamic programming that learns from your past workouts and adjusts as you go.
00:11:44.000Get a strong start to the year with 25% off a FitBod membership now through the 28th of February.
00:12:04.000And here's what you got to do: you go to fitbod.me/slash kirk because fitbod understands that the path to achieving your best looks different for everyone.
00:12:12.000Their program uses data and analytics to help you build on your last workout to maximize your results.
00:13:51.000But this is a bigger point, not just about Tyron Matthew, but I did want to make sure I mention that because he really frustrated me yesterday.
00:13:58.000But a bigger point that I want to make about how we react to success in our country.
00:14:05.000When an athlete or a musician or a politician achieves some form of success and it might not, that person might not hold the ideological or political viewpoint that you prefer, and your first instinct is to destroy or delegitimize that person, then we have a culture that has been created that cares much more about seeing the powerful, not just the powerful,
00:14:31.000but the people that have engaged and earned success tumble than actually wondering how is it that they were so successful in the first place.
00:14:40.000And this is something I've seen repeat itself through many different manifestations on digital and social media.
00:14:46.000And I see this all the time, especially with teenagers and with people in college, which is that anyone that might succeed, there must be something wrong with them.
00:14:59.000And social media makes it a lot easier to do that.
00:15:05.000And so instead of celebrating it yesterday, we now have seen the endless commentary from activists and people that have never created anything of value in their life to try and destroy Tom Brady.
00:15:23.000Of course, President Donald Trump is being impeached this week.
00:15:26.000So I want to go to cut three, Mark Meadows on Fox with Maria Bartaromo, saying that this impeachment process they're going through is totally unconstitutional.
00:15:36.000One is this impeachment process they're going through is unconstitutional.
00:15:40.000It's all designed for nine House Democrats to do two things, to get political vengeance and have a viral moment.
00:15:49.000This is nothing more than political theater.
00:15:51.000And we've been through many times the fact that John Roberts is not even showing up for this impeachment trial shows from the beginning that the entire impeachment process is not constitutional.
00:16:03.000So then why are Democrats actually doing this?
00:16:06.000They need to keep a narrative going to protect their theft so that people do not wake up and question what they have actually done to our country and what they're not doing to help working people and to help the people that put them into office.
00:16:22.000Now, on our podcast tomorrow, we have Ken Starr, the great Judge Ken Starr, former special counsel who led the effort against the Clinton impeachment.
00:16:32.000He has said very clearly that he believes that this impeachment is unconstitutional.
00:16:38.000Just to give you an idea of how the Democrats have changed the way the rule of law operates in our country, you can now wake up on one day with a president with no impeachment proceedings happening and then go to bed that night and that president is impeached.
00:16:56.000Quicker than what a it would be a traffic dispute in traffic court takes longer now than what it takes to impeach a president of the United States.
00:17:09.000Well, maybe because they don't like the system that we have to hold people accountable.
00:17:19.000They actually don't like the current justice system.
00:17:24.000There's a lot of similarities between how authoritarians handle their system of justice and what the Democrats are trying to do.
00:17:34.000The United States Senate knows this too.
00:17:36.000The Senate knows that this is going to be one of the shortest impeachment trials ever.
00:17:40.000They're hopefully going to dismiss this.
00:17:42.000If they start calling witnesses, it's going to turn into a multi-week circus in the United States Senate.
00:17:53.000But they're doing this for another reason.
00:17:55.000They're doing this to set a precedent so that they can stifle and suffocate political opponents in under a day.
00:18:08.000Every new year, all you hear is new year, new me.
00:18:11.000That usually means you'll be picking up better habits or trying new things.
00:18:15.000And when you do take up a new hobby, it's even better when you have amazing audio that will make the experience even better.
00:18:20.000That's why I recommend wireless earbuds from Raycon.
00:18:23.000Whether it's following along to directions in the kitchen, binging a new audio book while learning to knit, or powering through a new workout with a pumped-up playlist in your ear, a pair of Raycons can make any activity easier and a better time.
00:18:35.000Raycon makes great sound accessible to everyone.
00:18:37.000Their wireless earbuds start at half the price of other premium audio brands.
00:18:42.000If you think having white stems dangling out of your ears look ridiculous, that's something you don't have to worry about along with Raycons.
00:18:48.000They come in a range of stylish colorways, but along with comfortable in-ear fit for a more discreet look.
00:18:55.000Raycons perform whatever you take with them with up to six hours of playtime water and sweat-resistant construction and Bluetooth that pairs quickly and seamlessly.
00:20:06.000From ending the endless wars to addressing the problems with immigration to challenging entrenched corporate interests.
00:20:16.000Maybe it wasn't always about President Trump.
00:20:20.000Maybe it's always just been about Democrats relentlessly pursuing power.
00:20:28.000What's very interesting about this impeachment process is how Joe Biden, who's the president of the United States, campaigned on just not being Donald Trump.
00:20:47.000And his inaugural address says that we need unity.
00:20:50.000And now his perverted way of getting unity is now allowing the United States Senate going unquestioned or unchallenged from the White House to impeach a guy who's probably golfing right now as you hear this broadcast.
00:21:07.000I have a working theory about Joe Biden that I got from Victor Davis Hansen.
00:21:17.000And I agree with Victor Davis Hansen completely on this.
00:22:11.000If I have to chart a course to put America back into the direction of FDR, then I'm going to do it.
00:22:20.000I'm going to appease the professor class.
00:22:28.000I'm going to do things that will be written about nicely and fondly in the New York Times.
00:22:34.000I'm going to be known not as someone that just defeated Trump, but as someone who was more progressive than Barack Obama.
00:22:45.000If you think about that, if that's really what Joe Biden is thinking, that's chilling.
00:22:54.000Barack Obama, at certain times of his presidency, stood down when there was massive backlash, when there was the Tea Party movement, when there were oversight committees, when there were serious challenges to his power, Joe Biden seems disinterested in political consequences.
00:23:12.000Joe Biden seems completely and totally fine with governing with a leftist iron fist.
00:24:53.000So why do you think he has come to that realization?
00:24:57.000Because the next time the subject came up, it was done the right way.
00:25:01.000That is the head of the AFL-CIO saying that it was a mistake to eliminate all those jobs from the Keystone XL pipeline.
00:25:10.000So Joe Biden is left now with a choice.
00:25:14.000The choice is: does he pander to the corporate crony interests that got him into office, or does he actually assess the greatest political threat and become someone that he actually might not totally be?
00:25:29.000I think Joe Biden is worried about what will historians say about him.
00:25:34.000Joe Biden being the nation's oldest president in history, I think Joe Biden is completely and totally ignoring his own calls for unity.
00:25:45.000He's the first president that I can find in the history of the country where one of his first acts of taking office in the first day of being president, he says, find me ways to kill jobs.
00:28:19.000What are we going to do when we assuredly hit inflation?
00:28:27.000The lack of coverage around the stimulus package, the lack of coverage around anything happening internally in the Biden administration, paired with Joe Biden's commitment with pandering to the ideologues.
00:28:46.000That's starting to paint a picture here of something rather concerning.
00:28:55.000It's starting to paint a picture of a presidency that will be protected by the activist press and will be more ideologically radical than any other president that we have seen.
00:29:07.000More so than Obama, more so than Clinton, more so than Carter, more so than Johnson, more so than Roosevelt.
00:29:16.000Now, whether it's Joe Biden making these decisions or his advisors making decisions, we don't know.
00:29:28.000Do you remember what was going on in the Trump administration four years ago to today?
00:29:34.000By now, Michael Flynn had already been trapped.
00:29:37.000He was entrapped in the White House without counsel represented with him, illegally by Peter Strzok, McCabe and Strzok, both of which have not been indicted, both of which now have nice, high-paying jobs in the District of Columbia.
00:30:14.000Reporters were following people, threatening them with potential stories that would link them to criminal behavior.
00:30:22.000Democrats were already launching internal probes, despite controlling zero committees in the House around Russia interference.
00:30:37.000From the moment Donald Trump took office in 2017, there were massive internal disruptions with Joe Biden, despite him going out of his way to destroy jobs, something that we've never seen a president do before.
00:30:53.000To actually say, hey, give me the paperwork to go and obliterate jobs against the people that helped get me into office from the AFL-CIO.
00:31:02.000Hey, can you get me that piece of paper where men can go in women's locker rooms?
00:31:07.000That's going to fulfill the mandate for me to govern.
00:31:12.000There are a couple checks against this, and one of them is the states.
00:31:17.000One of them is the coalition of Republican governors that can check against this sort of radical behavior from Joe Biden and his presidency.
00:31:33.000But the fact that there is so little coverage, no investigation of anything that's happening with the Chinese coronavirus relief bill, Biden's virus response, there's something else happening here.
00:31:50.000And it's usually a theft that's happening towards the American people.
00:31:58.000We'll go then to some more impeachment sound.
00:32:00.000We'll go to Rand Paul saying that if Congress applied the Democrats' impeachment standard fairly, Schumer should also be impeached and put on trial by the Senate.
00:32:09.000You know, I opposed the notion of, which I think was a misguided notion of voting to overturn the election either with Congress or with the vice president.
00:32:17.000But I think if we're going to criminalize speech and somehow impeach everybody who says, oh, go fight to hear your voices heard, I mean, really, we ought to impeach Chuck Schumer then.
00:32:27.000It's just typical political speech that is now being criminalized by the Democrats.
00:32:31.000We did an episode at length with Alan Dershowitz back on Friday about that.
00:32:36.000Let's listen to Chuck Schumer say something that I guess should now get you impeached.
00:33:15.000This was a strong signal to all of us that this was going to be a partisan hearing with a Democrat in the chair who's already voted for impeachment.
00:33:23.000You think we're going to get any fair rulings out of a Democrat that's already expressed favor for impeaching him previously and is going to vote this time to impeach him?
00:33:34.000But more than anything, it's unwise and going to divide the country.
00:33:37.000If Biden thinks he really, you know, if he really meant anything about that unity and he really wanted to be a statesman, you know what he would have done?
00:33:43.000He would have come out and told his party, enough's enough.
00:34:15.000Winston Churchill famously said, and I'm paraphrasing here, that forever war interrupts decent society.
00:34:27.000Winston Churchill argued that if you are forever at war, then you always have an excuse to take away more people's freedoms and liberties, to be able to distract from having civil and decent society.
00:34:40.000The ruling class has always enjoyed having foreign wars, from Afghanistan to Vietnam to Iraq.
00:34:46.000Our military is the greatest in the history of the world.
00:35:23.000If there is no accountability and no attempt by the Republican Party to stop these insane lies that have taken root in their party, witness the support this week by the House Republicans for bigot and conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene, the congresswoman from Georgia.
00:35:41.000If there's no effort at accountability, this is not going to be the end of MAGA terrorism.
00:35:52.000When you're engaged in a conflict where you're able to justify the deployment of troops, when you're able to justify the erosion of liberties, then you don't have to govern.
00:36:08.000I think we ought to take that fencing down and return to as normal position as possible.
00:36:14.000I think the fencing is remaining in place to send a signal, a narrative that 74 million Americans that voted for President Trump are dangerous to our democracy.
00:36:24.000They're all insurrectionists, and that's simply not the case.
00:36:28.000I think Jake Tapper knows better, but I can tell you that there are millions of people in liberal America, Massachusetts and Connecticut and Oregon, that are actually terrified of conservatives because of the propaganda from the media.
00:36:43.000Remember, people who are afraid are easier to control and command.
00:36:49.000I want to get to a question here about whether or not I think Trump is going to get sworn in on March the 4th.
00:37:01.000Stop reading these message boards that are telling you things that are pathologically untrue, such as Pence is in Gitmo, that Trump is getting a second term on March the 4th or 5th.
00:37:15.000All of those message boards were wrong the last couple of months, all of them.
00:37:21.000So I'm just trying to warn a lot of you, disengage from that and find sources that do their hours of research like we do here on the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:38:11.000And we might actually be able to push back against a prevailing Democrat narrative that exists.
00:38:18.000And it's actually a very interesting contradiction here.
00:38:23.000The Democrats' narrative when it comes to impeachment is directly at odds with their narrative when it comes to creating a new Patriot Act.
00:38:30.000Their narrative when it comes to impeachment is that Donald Trump was the sole reason, the incitement behind the violence and the tragedy at the Capitol.
00:38:44.000This article here in the Washington Post says, quote, on the cusp of the impeachment trial, court documents point to how Trump's rhetoric fueled rioters who attacked Capitol.
00:38:53.000But when you actually read this Washington Post piece, and it's done somewhat fairly throughout, but then they actually end up contradicting themselves.
00:39:04.000I don't know who the editor is at the Washington Post, but a good editor would have caught this.
00:39:11.000For example, According to prosecutors, Pittsburgh QAnon supporter Kenneth Grayson wrote to an associate on December 23rd, quote, I'm there for the greatest celebration of all time after Pence flips the Senate.
00:39:27.000Or I'm there if Trump tells us to storm the FN Capitol, I'm going to do that then.
00:39:32.000Now that looks like it's all Trump's fault that he did that.
00:39:38.000He wrote this on the 23rd of December.
00:39:42.000This man came to D.C. with the premeditation to do violence.
00:39:49.000It says, quote, in the Washington Post, and some came primed for battle.
00:39:55.000According to Professor Alan Dershowitz, in order for incitement to be proven in court, it'd be one thing if President Trump was on the steps of the Capitol saying, smash windows, attack police officers, you got to do that.
00:40:09.000And even then, it would be a difficult case for incitement.
00:40:15.000The piece continues by having other factors of indictments and evidence.
00:40:23.000But the overwhelming part of this article actually talks about how people came with pipe bombs to D.C.
00:40:29.000We still haven't found who did the pipe bombs, by the way.
00:40:35.000And look, we have, I believe, covered this more in depth than most programs.
00:40:42.000There were three buckets of people, three types of people that were there on January the 6th.
00:40:47.000Number one, people that came to Washington, D.C. looking for a fight.
00:40:53.000They penetrated the police barrier, the outer police barrier on the west side of the Capitol while President Trump was still giving his remarks.
00:41:00.000That's according to the Wall Street Journal, according to the New York Times, and the Washington Post.
00:41:05.000All of that, that piece of evidence pushes back against the idea that President Trump solely incited the riot.
00:41:11.000The second group of people are non-ideological agitators, the Sullivan guy from BLM Incorporated, the people that were trying to get others to commit acts of violence.
00:41:28.000They just, the young man from Maryland, who was not a Trump supporter, according to all publicly available information, grabbed the hockey stick and just started beating a police officer.
00:41:41.000And then the third category of people were Trump supporters, some of whom came looking for a fight.
00:41:48.000Others flew to Washington on a private jet and made a foolish decision to go run into the Capitol building.
00:41:58.000Not all those people committed acts of violence.
00:42:04.000Those are the three groups of people that were there on January the 6th.
00:42:10.000So in order for the Democrats' argument to be legitimate, which it isn't, there wouldn't be that form of nuance.
00:42:21.000The Democrats will have to explain, well, how do you explain the people that were there simply and solely for the reason to cause violence?
00:42:35.000The one vulnerability in the president's defense, which is why I think the president is just going to try and argue against the illegal nature of the impeachment, not just about the merits of the case, is that the president said multiple times that he was going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol with them.
00:43:59.000An example would be if someone listened to the awful music of Marilyn Manson around death and horror, and then someone committed an act of violence, and you would say, Well, the music talks about death and violence, they made me do that.
00:44:16.000The facts and circumstances wouldn't apply to that at all.
00:44:20.000And it wouldn't apply in this case at all.
00:44:22.000This is a hail marriage legal strategy by many of the people that were involved on January the 6th.
00:44:30.000And if you walk through this article, it continues by saying Samuel Fisher, who stormed the Capitol, posted on Facebook the day before, quote, at one when Congress certifies the election, Trump just needs to fire the bat signal, deputize patriots, and then the pain comes.
00:44:48.000Not exactly a discreet way to communicate.
00:44:55.000The point is that that shows intention before the president's speech to go do something at the Capitol.
00:45:02.000The defense, I mean, the prosecution, which are the House impeachment managers, they are going to focus on the people that have cited the president for the reason why they did that.
00:45:14.000But because we have now entered the third world into a show trial, a Soviet-style show trial, that would make even General Tukhachevsky seem as if he didn't get a proper defense.
00:45:26.000If you don't know who General Tukhachevsky is, he's one of the generals that Stalin killed for no reason whatsoever, by the way, just because he felt like it.
00:46:20.000The Democrats are annoyed that there is a system in place that allows tyranny to be checked, that allows authoritarianism to be put on notice.
00:46:34.000Now, one of the aspects of this is supposed to be a fair and free media.
00:46:40.000That is a non-governmental check and balance on power.
00:46:45.000When Peter Docey asks Jen Saki about oil workers, who he lied to, she says, bring the evidence of those thousands of people who won't get green jobs.
00:46:59.000This is one of the greatest logical fallacies.
00:47:06.000I do have a question on Billy, but first on energy.
00:47:08.000When is it that the Biden administration is going to let the thousands of fossil fuel industry workers, whether it's pipeline workers or construction workers, who are either out of work or will soon be out of work because of a Biden EO, when it is and where it is that they can go for their green job?
00:47:27.000Well, I'd certainly welcome you to present your data of all the thousands and thousands of people who won't be getting a green job.
00:47:34.000Maybe next time you're here, you can present that.
00:47:44.000In order to just end questioning, at a White House press briefing, Kaylee McEnany, Sarah Sanders, Sarah Hugabee Sanders, and Sean Spice are like, oh, so now I just should have asked them where their multivariant analysis is.
00:48:30.000But the ideologues that are running our government now, like Jen Saki and John Kerry, who benefit tremendously from fossil fuels, from fracking, they're going to get us into another war.
00:48:41.000Remember, war is a tool used by the tyrants to distract us from the theft that is currently occurring.
00:48:49.000What war are they going to get us into?
00:48:51.000Well, when you cannot transport, extract, or use the resources that you have on your own continent, then you're going to go find those resources elsewhere.
00:49:04.000There's only a couple places on the planet that have oil and natural gas deposits like we do.
00:49:09.000That's in the Middle East and Venezuela.
00:49:23.000Fracking has created millions of jobs.
00:49:27.000So the question should be, Jen Saki, show me the evidence anywhere where this supposed green nonsense has resulted in positive economic growth, lower utility bills, people coming out of poverty.
00:50:22.000And what is the specific scaling that you believe the Biden administration can implement to get us from what I believe is about 4% solar to 20% solar?
00:50:44.000If they were actually honest when it came to energy, which they're not, they would say, okay, we are going to transition to nuclear and hydroelectric.

00:52:32.000This is on top of the $4 trillion a year we spend on the federal government.
00:52:38.000This stimulus bill, which is completely and totally unnecessary, has bigger stimulus checks, more aid to the unemployed, those facing eviction.
00:52:50.000I'm reading from CNN.com because they've actually done the best job detailing this.
00:53:52.000And it also raises the minimum wage to $15 an hour that the Washington Post has even come out and said will destroy 1.5 million jobs over the next five years.
00:54:46.000We've decided to shut everything down, borrow money, and create money we do not have to spend on things that do not matter to never create jobs.
00:55:29.000The problem with the barter system is you have to find a producer for that demand.
00:55:35.000That creates the double incidence of wants problem.
00:55:40.000Learn Liberty has some great videos on this.
00:55:44.000The double incidence of wants problem is that if you have something that somebody else does not want, well, then you're not able to trade.
00:55:55.000So if I'm in the water bottle making business and I have a bunch of water bottles, but somebody wants sandwiches and not water bottles, how do I trade with them?
00:56:06.000Money also solves the retention of value problem, especially when it comes to perishable goods like chickens or cows.
00:56:16.000It's not going to last forever, but money hopefully will.
00:56:19.000Money can hold that value after you sell the cow.
00:56:23.000You get the highest amount of value for it when it's at its highest peak, and then you keep the money.
00:56:28.000Money solves these problems, and money allows trade to occur.
00:56:34.000What I just went through in the last two and a half minutes right there, by the way, is supposed just to be economics 101 that it seems our congresspeople have no understanding of whatsoever.
00:56:47.000Money is valuable because goods and services are represented by that money.
00:56:55.000So $100 is supposed to represent that value of goods and services in a society.
00:57:05.000Here's something that is obvious, but it needs to be said because it's true.
00:57:10.000Creating and printing more money does not make more stuff appear.
00:57:16.000Creating more money does not create more stuff.
00:57:21.000Instead, creating more money spreads the value of the goods and services amongst a larger number of dollars.
00:57:33.000So when we introduce $4 trillion into the economy without any sort of growth because everything is closed, that means that the $100 will no longer be worth $100.
00:57:50.000It cheapens the value of the currency.
00:59:55.000If you have half a million dollars in debt and all of a sudden half a million dollars is no longer worth half a million dollars and it's really worth like $200,000 with inflated money because it's not what it used to be.
01:00:11.000How many times have you heard your parents say, I used to be able to get a full meal for $1.50?
01:00:16.000Well, it's because $1.50 isn't worth what it used to be.
01:00:22.000$1.50 back then is really like $0.10 now and vice versa.
01:03:10.000We are now going to become a country that manages inflation.
01:03:18.000Lawrence Summers has said this, and by the way, I'm no fan of Lawrence Summers traditionally, just so we're clear.
01:03:23.000He says, quote, inflationary pressures are going to come of a kind we have not seen in a generation, with consequences for the value of the dollar and financial stability.
01:03:33.000He notes that stimulus measures of the magnitude contemplated are steps into the unknown.
01:03:40.000Who does inflation and this sort of debt-based fiat currency, Rhodesian Weimar Republic, Narnia-based economic system punish?
01:03:51.000The people who have played by the rules, conservatives.
01:03:56.000If you have saved money your whole life, if you have paid down your debt, if you have not leveraged yourself through credit card bills, this entire program is designed to punish you.
01:04:07.000But if you have leveraged yourself up to the sky, if you have borrowed money your whole life, all of a sudden this is your bailout.
01:04:35.000They do not believe in the laws of economics.
01:04:37.000They don't believe in the laws of human nature either.
01:04:40.000Now, liberals are different than leftists.
01:04:42.000Liberals admit human nature is flawed.
01:04:46.000Liberals admit that human beings are not malleable.
01:04:51.000Do you want to know one of the greatest lies ever told?
01:04:54.000That we are somehow inherently better human beings just because of the technology around us than the founding fathers.
01:05:02.000We are just as broken, self-interested, greedy, and sinful as the people that predated us.
01:05:11.000Our society is better, thanks to them and the systems they gave us.
01:05:16.000But as individual human beings, we are right the same as the people that came before us.
01:05:23.000And that is one of the most deceiving narratives of the left that somehow progress, this Hegelian dialectic progress, this history with an insight, somehow we become better people.
01:05:40.000And the answer is, of course, you don't.
01:05:42.000But in some way, it is almost as if the Democrats, when they pass these inflationary measures, especially the Cortez's Ta Libs and Omars, they believe this is the time that we're going to prove nature wrong.
01:05:53.000You hear that, God, we're going to prove you wrong.
01:05:56.000But just as I went through the very basic rules of economics, of supply and demand, the incident of wants problem, it's no different than the laws of Newtonian physics.
01:06:11.000It's no different than the laws of gravity.
01:06:13.000It's no different than the laws of thermodynamics.
01:06:16.000The second law of thermodynamics, I believe, is the law of inevitable decay.
01:06:26.000The left believes that with the right combined collective genius, which takes pride to believe that, with enough power, they can overcome the laws of nature.
01:06:45.000And it's this perpetual push Of liberals and Democrats that are almost resisting the guardrails, the rules, the laws, the facts, the biology, and the science that dictate our society.
01:07:06.000And people say all the time, Charlie, what is a conservative?
01:07:11.000Someone who recognizes human nature, who doesn't fight it, and instead tries to use the worst of human nature for the betterment of the entire society.
01:07:25.000Instead, conservatives say we should try to create good people, not try to change how people actually are inherently.
01:07:33.000That people are going to slip up, people are going to fall, people are going to sin.
01:07:38.000Instead, what kind of a society can we have to teach people how to be, not what to destroy, like the left does?
01:07:47.000And so when the left passes these stimulus bills, they're doing the exact same thing as when they're fighting for the transgender stuff.
01:07:58.000The laws of biology, the laws of economics.
01:08:25.000And so then when you have those kind of agreed-upon givens, then public policy will stay within the framework of not destroying your civilization.
01:08:36.000But when all of a sudden you say math, science, all of that are white Western power structures, well, then of course you're going to be at war with God and his nature.
01:08:50.000That's exactly what is driving the pathological left.
01:08:54.000Because they can't possibly believe there might be a creator above them in the hierarchy of needs, wants, and power.
