00:00:54.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:36.000Jack, let's fill in, you know, some of the underground chatter that you and I have been privy to as we saw this bubbling up to the surface.
00:02:45.000Yeah, so a lot of this, and Charlie, you've done a great job of covering it this week on your show.
00:02:50.000Huge props to you because, you know, this is something where it pays to be super in the weeds on things.
00:02:59.000And that's something where I think, you know, Charlie, with your perch, not only where you are in politics, but having turning point your ear into a lot of different places, it just really lends itself to these situations because it's easy to sit on the outside.
00:03:13.000And I see a lot of people just throwing bombs and saying, oh, yeah, throw the bums out, get rid of them, get rid of this guy, get rid of that guy.
00:03:18.000But you're also missing the intricacies of how it actually works, how it plays out, the different interests, the different factions.
00:03:25.000And that's something where even myself, just listening to the Charlie Kirk show this week, it's like, wow, this is the one place where you can really get all of it.
00:03:31.000Because on some shows, you know, you'll hear, oh, Gates is a traitor.
00:03:36.000And then you go on other shows and it's like, Gates is the greatest patriot.
00:03:40.000He's the, he is the next George Washington.
00:03:42.000It's like, all right, can someone just explain to me what's actually going on?
00:03:45.000And that's what I found with listening to Charlie.
00:03:48.000I don't mean that just to blow you up, but I really do think he did a great job.
00:03:52.000And the reason, though, that people need to understand this better, though, is because the situation became, as Jack Haschell said in his great book recently, although on a different subject, it became untenable, right?
00:04:04.000It became untenable because you had the grassroots that were so incensed at the lack of action and so upset that they can see the government locking people up, the FBI starting a new task force just this week and then bragging about it with their leaking their own story to Newsweek, essentially writing a press release for them saying we've started a new task force to go after MAGA.
00:04:30.000And then you go to the house and you say, what are you guys actually doing about any of this?
00:04:34.000It's very important press release, very important letter that's being written.
00:04:38.000Just you wait, you know, the next letter is coming out and people are just getting fed up.
00:04:42.000People are just getting sick and it's getting worse and worse.
00:04:44.000So we saw essentially the civil war brewing because that being said, GOP leadership still has considerable and significant resources that they will be bringing to bear.
00:04:57.000And I don't think that they thought Matt Gates was willing to go through that.
00:05:07.000And now here's the interesting wrinkle in all of this.
00:05:10.000And we covered on human events earlier today, that anyone who wants to be speaker, whether it's Scalese, whether it's Jordan, whether it's Donald Trump, et cetera, they're essentially walking into a situation where they know that MAGA and the grassroots and Gates representing the gasroots by proxy is exercising command by negation, whereby in there's nothing to stop him from doing this again next week, next month, six months from now.
00:05:38.000So anyone who has to come in, guess what?
00:05:45.000And by the way, Jack, we're going to reconnect your audio.
00:05:47.000We could hear you, but it's not as pure as it should be.
00:05:49.000So we're going to work with the team on that.
00:05:51.000But Blake, Andrew, and I are going to carry this forward right now.
00:05:53.000So Blake, you and I were chatting a little bit over the weekend last week, and so is Andrew.
00:05:57.000Andrew, you were on a lot of these messages too.
00:05:59.000And because, you know, we're kind of at an intersection of all roads where, you know, I've been very clear.
00:06:04.000I have, you know, I've been gotten along with Kevin McCarthy for years.
00:06:07.000I disagree with how he's handled the debt ceiling and also the CR, but he's treated our turning point students and leaders really, really well.
00:06:14.000And this kind of thing was bubbling up.
00:06:16.000And I remember I sent a message to one person in kind of McCarthy world.
00:06:20.000I was like, guys, this is becoming real.
00:06:22.000Like this, this, and, you know, either Blake or Andrew, you could take it.
00:06:26.000Andrew, maybe, because you're also getting his message.
00:06:28.000Andrew, do you think that they actually believed that this motion to vacate would have been successful?
00:06:34.000I had a private conversation with Matt Gates on Sunday when I reopened my phone.
00:06:38.000I had literally had 682 text messages.
00:08:50.000Yeah, you wrote an endorsement for his last book.
00:08:53.000But yeah, I mean, I think Newt is looking at people like Speaker Pelosi before, you know, when the House was a Democrat majority and saying she ruled with an iron fist.
00:09:14.000There are factions and clans within the conservative movement.
00:09:17.000I think, yes, Matt Gates is probably surprised this worked out, but he's probably overjoyed.
00:09:22.000And here's, here's, I'll leave it with this.
00:09:25.000If we get a Jim Jordan out of this or a Speaker Trump, I mean, that's certainly a possibility as it stands today.
00:09:32.000If we get those two outcomes here, this will have proven Matt Gates to be an absolute genius, massive success.
00:09:40.000If we get somebody like an Emmer or even a Scalise who's, I've heard it described as Diet McCarthy, I think then we are going to find ourselves in a world of hurt.
00:09:50.000And people are going to start pointing the finger even more at Gates.
00:09:53.000Yeah, I receive angry emails about this.
00:09:56.000I think we will not know whether or not Matt was right based on whether or not Hakeem Jeffries becomes speaker in January 25.
00:10:02.000You must hold on to power in the town of DC, right, Blake?
00:10:30.000And so that means everyone, you know, everyone does get a voice, but it does mean everyone gets a voice.
00:10:36.000It means Matt Gates and five friends can blow up the House speakership, but it also means the five most liberal House members could blow up a Jordan speakership.
00:10:50.000And there's, I think that's why, you know, I also disagree with what Newt said, but you can see the frustration that's boiling over there that there's all these Republicans who remember it took us weeks to figure out who our speaker is going to be last January.
00:11:04.000And it was really like only McCarthy can unite them.
00:11:17.000There's no obvious plan B. If you, they've been, these Republicans have been giving statements where they say there are 15 different options on the table.
00:11:43.000And I agree, Jim Jordan would be a good speaker.
00:11:46.000But I think, among other things, there's going to be a non-zero number of Republicans who are going to say, we're not going to reward Matt Gates by giving him, you know, a speaker who's more in his direction over this tantrum that he threw.
00:13:03.000And I do admit, you know, we've said we like McCarthy's always treated us well, but I do think strategically there's certain he made some huge mistakes.
00:13:12.000The most obvious to me is the January 6th footage.
00:13:32.000If McCarthy Blake would have called Gates into his office the day of the CR and said, here's all the footage, do you think he'd still be speaker?
00:13:40.000I think it would have made it a lot harder for Gates to.
00:14:00.000And they said, they pointed me to this new Blaze story.
00:14:04.000And Blake, I could set it to you so you can throw it up on the screen if you want.
00:14:08.000There is sort of some breaking reporting.
00:14:13.000It hasn't been widely covered just yet, but it is out.
00:14:20.000And I'll pull that up for you in just a sec.
00:14:21.000But I do want to say, Blake, you said, we got rid of the one guy that could unite the caucus.
00:14:27.000I think the bottom line is McCarthy's mistakes strategically, first on the debt ceiling, secondly on the shutdown fight, were just too grievous.
00:14:38.000And now you hear a lot of people on either side of that debate say, oh, he lived up to his promises.
00:14:45.000I mean, at the end of the day, he caved.
00:14:47.000You know, I think if he would, I think the one thing that could have saved him, the one thing that could have saved him was shut the government down.
00:14:55.000Show that you're willing to fight for something real.
00:14:58.000When he chose to sort of capitulate and be the quote-unquote adult in the room, that signals.
00:15:04.000The way he said it, too, I think bothered a lot of people.
00:15:07.000I think you're basically inferring that the people who could displace you as a speaker are children for wanting to balance the budget or not even balance the budget, not have a $2 trillion deficit.
00:15:19.000Yeah, it's there was it sucks because we did get one thing that was good, which is they didn't give more money to Ukraine.
00:15:27.000But that was the weakest one because we immediately had reports that, oh, they're going to stick it back in.
00:15:31.000McCarthy supposedly made these promises.
00:15:37.000And again, it was if you pair that with, okay, well, now we'll bring up the article that supposedly they did release the rest of the footage.
00:15:45.000But if they did, they didn't make a lot of noise about it.
00:16:40.000Do you think he would still be speaker of the house?
00:16:43.000Look, I think there are so many things like that.
00:16:45.000I think the J6 footage, I think even for me, it's more than just the J6 footage, okay?
00:16:52.000And I've said this before in terms of where I think we should go from now, but one of the big things that a lot of us said going into the new House GOP before the speaker was even decided was don't close the Jan 6 committee.
00:17:08.000Keep it open, but restructure it so that it becomes under our control.
00:17:13.000And then it's an investigate, a real investigation into what happened on Jan 6.
00:17:18.000So it's a more comprehensive answer to the same question because, yes, then it gets you full access to the video, plus investigators.
00:17:27.000You bring in Darren Beatty, you bring in Julie Kelly, you bring in everybody that's involved, this whole thing.
00:17:32.000And then when you start issuing subpoenas, you start subpoenaing people that they don't want us to talk to.
00:17:37.000You start bringing people in, actually get to the situation where we can have those cross-examinations that didn't happen under Pelosi.
00:17:45.000Look, the Democrats understand theater.
00:18:32.000Tucker Carlson famously said on his program that Kevin McCarthy would climb through a sewer of glass just to be Speaker of the House, right?
00:18:40.000Blake, he wanted to have his portrait.
00:18:41.000He wanted to be a guy who has, you know, next to Nancy Pelosi and then John Boehner a little bit over.
00:19:47.000And because it's a four-seat majority, and you're ideologically not necessarily in line with the people that you have to lead, right, Andrew?
00:19:55.000Yeah, I mean, I think the history, when it's written about McCarthy's speakership, is that he essentially had to sell away any security that he might have otherwise had in order to attain the speakership in the first place.
00:20:34.000I saw him on with Fox and Friends and Kill Me and said, are you going to get rid of it?
00:20:39.000And then meanwhile, you had Matt Gates saying, you know, he was asked right after Speaker McCarthy was ousted.
00:20:45.000He did a little press gaggle outside of the Capitol.
00:20:48.000And one of the questions were, you know, will you accept the new speaker without this single member being able to bring up a motion to vacate?
00:22:24.000And so, you know, he sees his career as either a different office or, you know, hosting, maybe he wants to host a Fox show or some other program.
00:22:34.000And he sees this essentially as a way to increase his fame.
00:22:37.000And so all of these guys who are in the House for the long haul are like, this guy who he's basically using the House as his personal, you know, bully launch, launching pad, his launching pad.
00:22:49.000And well, this is a chamber of the United States government that has to pass legislation.
00:22:59.000So Jack, let me ask you a provocative question here, since this is thought crimes.
00:23:02.000This never would have happened with Boehner.
00:23:04.000This never would have happened with Pelosi.
00:23:06.000Is there an argument to be had that McCarthy was not Machiavellian enough in creating oppo files, threatening blackmail, and basically telling dissident, rebellious members from the beginning, I will destroy your life if you walk out of line?
00:23:21.000Well, I suppose you could say that to an extent, if not for the fact that Matt Gates has already had pretty much all the oppo possible drops on the wire in the last couple of years, right?
00:23:32.000So what could you possibly put out in terms of Oppo to hang over this guy's head that hasn't already been put out over the last, I don't even know, I don't remember exactly.
00:23:41.000I think 2020, I guess, is when it really started.
00:23:43.0002021 was the spring of 2021 when they said that he was under DOJ investigation for sex trafficking.
00:24:56.000This is a guy that didn't have, the media didn't give a time of day to after he was accused of sleeping with an underage girl.
00:25:03.000And there's a reason why no one in the conference came and defended him because we had all seen the videos he was showing on the house floor that all of us had walked away of the girls that he had slept with.
00:25:14.000He'd brag about how he would crush ED medicine and chase it with an energy drink so he could go all night.
00:25:22.000This is obviously before he got married.
00:25:24.000And so when that accusation came out, no one defended him.
00:25:26.000And then no one on the media would give him a time of the day.
00:25:28.000All of a sudden, he found fame because he opposed the speaker of the house.
00:25:34.000It kind of makes me think, obviously he denies that, although it does make me think of the old Alice Cooper anecdote where he got, he supposedly bit the head off a chicken on stage.
00:25:55.000He's like, I don't care what you actually did.
00:25:56.000Don't deny it under any circumstances.
00:25:59.000And that's what Alice Cooper lived his entire career doing.
00:26:02.000And now it's like, so he didn't, you know, admittedly, like the videos he supposedly was sharing, which he denies, like not with underage girls.
00:26:09.000Sort of like, do you want to, you know, if you're doing this all to get famous anyway, just sort of like be evasive about everything and just say, like, people say a lot of things about me.
00:26:19.000I mean, don't you think it's kind of like Gates has a little bit of that Trump ability where it's kind of baked into the cake that, yeah, we know you were a bit of a Lithario.
00:26:28.000You know, you had a relationship with, what is it, Cassidy Hutchinson.
00:27:54.000Did you see the, you know, what happened?
00:27:56.000What was going on with the church bombs this week?
00:27:59.000Like, hand the mic over to Martin Shkrelli, hand the mic over to Donald Trump, hand the mic over to Matt Gates a little bit.
00:28:07.000And you guys, you'll sit there and you'll say, you know, Mark Wayne Mullen is a guy from Oklahoma.
00:28:11.000It's the first time he's ever caught a promo in his life.
00:28:13.000I think the last time he did anything that he actually stood up for was regulating UFC.
00:28:18.000If you guys remember that bill he was trying to push a while back, it's like, oh, let's get in there and regulate UFC because this is too dangerous.
00:28:25.000You know, I remember when John McCain used to say that crap too.
00:28:28.000It's like, these guys are such losers and they wonder why they completely lost the culture.
00:28:33.000They wonder why nobody takes them seriously.
00:28:35.000They wonder why they just sit and they hector you like a bunch of school marms.
00:29:38.000Two, just imagine, imagine we're getting, you know, every time they hold a vote, vote, Trump's like, let's have a nice, clean, fair vote, unlike the 2020 election, which was rigged.
00:29:50.000And then you have the Speaker of the House election, or Speaker of the House, the State of the Union address.
00:30:05.000And I apologize for my terrible Trump accent, by the way.
00:30:08.000Or we get the normal state of the union, and he's seated right next to Kamala, behind Biden, you know, making all of his facial expressions during the speech.
00:30:25.000Jack, this obviously plays to all of Trump's strengths, right?
00:30:28.000Parliamentarian issues, detail, sitting in rooms for six to seven hours on end, organizing people you disagree with to try to have concessions on micro policy debates about the abstractions of corporate tax.
00:30:45.000All those things obviously play to Trump's strengths.
00:30:48.000No, see, what I think Trump is actually doing here is this is classic art of the deal, right?
00:31:54.000The real thing that's very interesting, by the way, is the fact that not a single person has asked what's Ron DeSantis' opinion on the situation, opinion on the speaker question.
00:32:04.000And that is because the governor has reduced himself into complete political irrelevancy.
00:32:14.000You know, I got to admit, there's a part of me that really loves it.
00:32:18.000I think to Blake's point, I can just see the, I mean, let's be honest, DC is a complete circus.
00:32:23.000It's a clown show, and he can be the Barnum and Bailey of all of it.
00:32:28.000And I think, you know, there's a part of me that would enjoy the chaos just because how could it get any worse?
00:32:35.000And actually, maybe he would be surprisingly good at it.
00:32:38.000When you talk about the art of the deal, getting people together on the same page that disagree with each other, he's actually pretty good at that.
00:32:46.000Some of his, I would say, worst outcomes as president were probably because he actually enjoys, you know, making friends with Schumer and things like that.
00:32:55.000So that's maybe you could look at that as a weakness or a strength.
00:32:58.000I think when you talk about detail, when you talk about parliamentary.
00:33:09.000You have to sit in subcommittee meetings and you have to get yelled at by bow tie guy because page 84 has, you know, a section three has some sort of regulatory issue.
00:35:23.000Top seven forms of magnesium for stress and better sleep all in one bottle.
00:35:28.00050 million adults in the U.S. suffer from sleep issues every day.
00:35:32.000We've created the ultimate full-spectrum magnesium supplement.
00:35:35.000Magnesium Breakthrough is the complete GMP-certified formula that includes naturally derived forms of all seven forms of supplemental magazine and vitamin cofactors.
00:35:43.000Our premium magnesium complex has quickly become our number, the number one selling product.
00:35:48.000It's magbreakthrough.com/slash CK for 10% off.
00:36:15.000And now I get up really easily, thankfully, because of magnesium breakthrough.
00:36:19.000So there are seven types of magnesium: there's magnesium glycinate, magnesium torate, magnesium ourorate, sucrisomyol, surtrate, chelate, and malate.
00:36:29.000Magnesium breakthrough combines all the different types of magnesium better than that garbage you guys get at your local drugstore.
00:37:09.000And what we have here is heavier as a failure to communicate.
00:37:13.000No, it's 4 a.m. in the morning, two essentially Antifa members, supporters.
00:37:21.000And this, this, you know, is immaterial, people would say, to the video itself, but I disagree because they encounter, and before we play the video in full, guys, just pause there for a second.
00:37:36.000Before we encounter what actually happens to them, they're sitting on a bus, you know, bus stop bench, Brooklyn, New York.
00:37:47.000A crazed black psychopath wielding a knife at 4 a.m.
00:38:41.000I'm going to give an anecdote at a Germany that actually fits this that you may or may not know about because I actually got very little coverage.
00:41:22.000So we're told that it was a former lover, also similar to the Matthew Shepard situation where he was killed by a former lover, despite what the media will tell you.
00:41:32.000And in this case, that the same former lover who killed Josh Kruger shot him seven times in the chest.
00:41:38.000Police also say that this person of interest, and again, person of interest, not suspect, not arrested yet.
00:41:45.000But they do say that there are text messages that seemed very alarming to them from this individual, and that it was the same individual who had essentially broken into his house recently after getting out of prison just some months prior.
00:41:58.000So it seems to be a to your point, it wasn't like a random killing.
00:42:13.000It's a kind of a cartoon where it's, you know, this mother and her child walk in and they see kind of this like angry looking kind of white homeless guy.
00:42:33.000And, you know, that definitely is kind of a dynamic that probably plays out, for example, in the Brooklyn case.
00:42:39.000And not in every case, but the big picture here is, you know, a lot of like elite liberals sort of, they'll say all the right things, but they know the score.
00:42:47.000They don't live in the dangerous cities that they promote.
00:42:50.000They live in, you know, they either live in a gated community or they live in their nice little like leafy suburb where it still looks like 1978.
00:42:57.000And, you know, they know what's going on in their cities and they don't take part in it.
00:43:01.000But you do have these kind of young, more radical ideologues who will very proudly say, like, it's all slander.
00:43:17.000And Jack, I don't want to bury the lead here.
00:43:18.000The most important part of the story you just kind of said quickly, and I don't think everyone caught it, that the young lady they were dating or whatever, she watches her boyfriend get murdered in the street with a knife.
00:43:30.000And then when the police ask her, she refuses to disclose the race of the victim, right?
00:43:35.000Thereby disclosing the race of the boy.
00:43:37.000No, but again, it's not exactly rocket science.
00:43:39.000No, what Blake is saying is that if it was a white assailant, then she would have been easily likely to.
00:44:08.000This is where I get really blackpilled.
00:44:10.000This is a young lady who watched someone she cared about get slit in the throat.
00:44:15.000And when the police come to find out who did it, she refuses to give the information because she's more afraid of being called a racist than finding the justice for who killed her boyfriend.
00:44:26.000I'm going to give you another example.
00:44:28.000In Germany recently, a young lady was gang raped by a bunch, you know, the story?
00:44:32.000By a bunch of Muslims and a bunch of Arabs.
00:44:35.000She goes to the police and said, I was gang raped by a bunch of white Germans, lied about the race.
00:44:52.000So the police go and try to find a group of white Germans that raped this girl.
00:44:57.000She was willing to protect her rapists.
00:45:00.000When asked, she said, I did not want to increase the anti-immigrant sentiment.
00:45:05.000This is a girl that was gang raped, and she was more concerned about protecting her rapists in pursuit of a racial revolution.
00:45:16.000There is no saving these people because, you know, the talking point is, you know, they're going to turn into right-wingers as soon as their friends get murdered and their storefronts get bashed.
00:45:24.000Jack, what did the friends of this guy say?
00:45:27.000The friends came out and they said he would have felt sorry for them for this black maniac because he had a lack of stuff because he was underresourced, not enough resources.
00:45:38.000He had under resources and a victim of society and a press member.
00:45:50.000For the people out there who think all you need to say is that facts don't care about your feelings, it's actually backwards because these people will never accept appeals to reason.
00:46:07.000Appeals to reason will never work on them, specifically for liberal women, but liberals in general.
00:46:12.000It's because they are rooted in empathy.
00:46:15.000Their politics are rooted in victimization, in empathy, in emotion, in emotional resonance, particularly for liberal women.
00:46:22.000I tweeted this the other day that what leftism has done is taken the natural maternal instinct and then reprogrammed that for the marginalized and oppressed and victim classes of society.
00:46:36.000It's completely Marxian, where they've taken this innate instinct that all women have to protect their children, and they've sort of gotten them to latch it on to these different, you know, these different groups of society.
00:46:48.000And by the way, this doesn't only mean childless millennials or childless women.
00:46:53.000You could have kids and still believe this stuff too.
00:46:56.000It just means that they are playing on those natural emotional tendencies.
00:47:00.000And so if you're sitting there citing statistics and logic and, you know, facts and reason and all this, like this is not even logic.
00:47:57.000I see that they will only be like, you know, it's a damn shame that my best friend got slit, his throat slit in front of me, but let the revolution continue.
00:48:06.000The one that I sometimes think of is Molly Tibbetts, the Iowa girl.
00:48:23.000And then he, you know, after she gets murdered by an illegal immigrant, he says, you know, Mexicans, he just says Mexicans are like, they're just Iowans with better food, which, if you want to interpret that literally, it is they are, strictly speaking, superior to us.
00:48:36.000They are exactly the same as us or better in all ways.
00:49:27.000It says immediate needs are to offset the costs of working class people taking time off of work.
00:49:35.000And essentially, it says that they're just raising money.
00:49:39.000Like they're just taking money and exploiting this guy's death to put it in their own pockets to give it to her.
00:49:44.000And here's what's so crazy, Charlie: is that I've so there's comments on this.
00:49:48.000There's currently 39 as I look right now because when you when you donate money, you can comment.
00:49:53.000Not a single one of the comments that I've seen so far have mentioned the fact that he was murdered, have mentioned the murderer, have called for justice, have called for accountability.
00:50:04.000Someone saying, you love this one, actually.
00:50:08.000The reaction by some to Ryan's passing jarred me out of a deep, nihilistic, right-wing abyss in which I was living.
00:50:17.000Reading about Ryan and his work reminded me that each of us has a story.
00:51:14.000Well, Minnesota takes in more refugees and asylum seekers, I think, than any other state last I checked, or at least it's proportionally more than any other state.
00:51:28.000And but you see, this for folks who don't know this story, I mean, it's in the same vein as Brooklyn, Philly, Baltimore, which we haven't touched on yet, where you've got a white enclave.
00:51:40.000The cops go, this 11-year-old girl was with an aunt, apparently, and the aunt took her out.
00:51:48.000She gets plastered, says, let's hop in this car.
00:51:51.000As soon as they get in the car, bags are put over their head.
00:51:55.000I think they kick the aunt at some point.
00:51:57.000They take the 11-year-old girl back to this home.
00:52:01.000And inside the home, she's tied up in between two other girls who are also tied up.
00:52:07.000Four men took turns gang raping all three of them.
00:52:12.000One of the girls untied the 11-year-old girl.
00:52:15.000She manages to escape and they take her to a hospital and she reports the gang rape.
00:52:22.000The cops execute a search warrant at the home.
00:52:27.000And lo and behold, there's 11 illegals just chilling in that home where these girls were getting gang raped.
00:52:33.000They've arrested one man who's actually native-born Texan, but he's Hispanic.
00:52:39.000And the 11 others were put in the custody of Border Patrol.
00:52:46.000I mean, every single one of them, if they were complicit in any way, shape, or form of this crime, should be freaking taken out on the corner of the street and shot point blank.
00:52:56.000And the fact that we're just like unleashing hell onto the streets of America, I think that's how your tweet said it, Charlie.
00:53:08.000But the fact that Democrats in these blue cities are not outraged at what they are unleashing onto America, I think is the most morally repulsive and black pilling event of at least the last five years for me.
00:53:22.000I am so disgusted, but we see this trend in the media, and we should show image 101.
00:53:29.000And it's a side-by-side because not only would this girlfriend not back to the New York Brooklyn poet, not only would the girlfriend not describe the victim or the assailant, now he actually, police get this guy and CBS blurs out his face.
00:53:47.000And so we were having a debate, and Blake was like, is that common?
00:54:37.000And this is what, and I had the long private conversation with Prager, and I asked him this because I really respect his moral clarity on this.
00:54:45.000And he said, Charlie, I was of the belief for a couple decades that you hit rock bottom, then all of a sudden people start to wake up.
00:55:22.000A lot of conservatives like the idea that people aren't listening to me, but there will be this day where there's this big cataclysm and everyone turns to you and it's like, you were right, Charlie.
00:55:35.000And then they like sob and then you rebuild America.
00:55:37.000It's like, it's sort of like the fantasy of, you know, there's an apocalypse and then you're the one who was prepared for it and all of that.
00:55:44.000But yeah, the sad truth is, people can persist in ideological insanity to incredible depths.
00:55:54.000There are people who just fanatically believed in Adolf Hitler all the way to the point where, you know, the Soviets were in Berlin and gang raping everyone there and they had just completely destroyed their country and they still believed in him secretly afterwards.
00:56:08.000And, you know, there were diehards for every regime.
00:56:14.000One, you know, I've always wondered why, you know, in the Bible story of Exodus, Trump didn't let the original generation get to the promised land.
00:56:23.000He let them all die off before they could.
00:56:25.000Except Caleb and Joshua were only two that got in.
00:56:28.000Honestly, for some reason, that's what I'm thinking of right now.
00:56:31.000It's like, how do you get to the promised land with these types of people in your ranks?
00:56:36.000Secondly, it makes me think of the fact, you know, this debate of what to do on the border.
00:56:41.000You know, all these, all these groups and Texas and Florida shipping migrants, illegals, to blue cities.
00:56:49.000I mean, we're just going to get stuck with them forever.
00:56:52.000I mean, these people will accept them.
00:56:55.000So this is where conservatives get it wrong.
00:56:59.000They think that they can just let things collapse, things will get worse and fall apart, and then we can come in and sweep things up.
00:57:06.000No, that will not work because these people have been presented in ideology that persuades them.
00:57:11.000The only response to this is an organized response, an organized vision for a way out, an organized system, a coalition of coalitions, if you will, whatever you want to call it.
00:57:24.000You have to actually present a vision for what's coming forward.
00:58:11.000This is why the Trump movement existed because people finally got off their butts.
00:58:15.000They found a leader that people could rally behind, someone who had a clear, articulate vision for the way forward, someone who wasn't a loser, like one of these Ned Flanders old right Republican conservative dorks and was actually going to go forward and say, we're going to make America great again.
00:59:23.000There was a story recently I heard from someone that works for us who has family in Mexico where a guy raped a nine-year-old and the police get their hand on this pedophile.
01:00:55.000So those two people on the street, it was Obama criticized his grandmother, I believe, for being someone who would cross the street if she saw an ominous looking person.
01:01:47.000And I was talking to him and he was making fun of how much Americans care about racism.
01:01:52.000He's like, oh, in Cuba, we just call a spade a spade about all this stuff.
01:01:56.000But the American psyche is so conditioned to put, you know, this accusation of racism and why it's been such an effective cudgel against those of us on the right for years is that if you call somebody a racist, it's, you know, like a death sentence.
01:02:13.000I think that that era is changing slowly.
01:02:17.000But I mean, like this, let me just like interrupt.
01:02:20.000Like, if you're a single white female in an urban area and you see a 22-year-old black guy that wants to get into your building and you have like maybe a pattern recognition, honestly, God bless you for not letting that guy into the building.
01:02:32.000Okay, he has to wait for the next person.
01:03:07.000I mean, I'm not saying that Australia don't have similar sort of things or whatever built into their society ethics, but America, because of the Civil War, because of slavery.
01:03:17.000And you know what's funny is that so much of that is astro turf.
01:03:21.000If you want to flip everything on its head, how about we say it like this?
01:03:24.000No, America sacrificed 600,000 people to writing that wrong.
01:04:14.000Yeah, because it's, you know, it's not even just, you know, the usual one is that black Americans commit more murders, but it's even narrower than that.
01:04:21.000It's, you know, if you take black men, like 15 to 26 or so, that is the range where a huge proportion of America's murders, robberies, everything.
01:04:34.000You know, if you're women mostly don't commit too many crimes, and just like when you're old, you mellow out, you stop committing crimes, or you're in jail for crimes you've already committed.
01:06:32.000Well, Charlie, do you care about a little something called the United States of America?
01:06:36.000Do you care about a little something called the West?
01:06:39.000Do you care about a little bit, something called the country in which we live that we are trying to save every day?
01:06:44.000Well, none of that would exist if it wasn't for the man himself, Christopher Columbus.
01:06:49.000And the real question that I have is, Christopher Columbus, was he a hero or a superhero?
01:06:56.000Personally, for me, I'm going to go in the superhero column.
01:06:59.000The man who was trying to find gold in order to fund another crusade to win over the Holy Land, the same way that King Ferdinand had just kicked the Moors out of Spain in the Reconquista.
01:07:13.000They were eventually trying to kick the Moors and their brethren out of the Holy Land in the same year, by the way, the Rey Conquista ended.
01:07:27.000Every time you see it all, it all fits together right.
01:07:30.000But how many people told you that it was directly tied to the Reconquista of Spain, the re-Christianization of Spain, of bringing Christianity to the new world, which they later found out it was the new world, and then hopefully the finding of gold in order to fund a new crusade against the Holy Land, which I mean, there's so many different things that are tied into this that just get completely taken out.
01:07:55.000And look, look at how many cities in this country we've got named after Columbus.
01:08:15.000It's probably some woman named Columbia.
01:08:17.000Well, it's the woman Columbia who is the stylized, you know, sort of goddess of America based on Britannia, who was the, you know, sort of the stylized goddess of Great Britain.
01:08:29.000And then so this is, but again, based on Columbus, because the original name for America, which was very highly favored among even a number of the founding fathers, was to call our country Columbia based on the heroism and the exploits of Christopher Columbus.
01:08:45.000And so, and I see people will say, like, what about Eric the Red?
01:08:49.000What about, you know, what about the fact that he just got lost?
01:08:52.000And it's like, you're, you're completely, you're completely missing the actual impact of the man's accomplishments in life and the absolute world historic change that it had on basically the entire planet and the trajectory of humanity.
01:09:46.000I mean, the Founding Fathers, if you can point me towards the Founding Fathers celebrating Columbus Day as a federal holiday, all of them.
01:09:53.000I'm not talking about celebrating Christian Day.
01:09:55.000I'm talking about celebrating Columbus and Columbus's accomplishments, which is very clear.
01:09:58.000So what I will say is that Columbus was a deeply faithful man.
01:10:05.000Some of the writings from Columbus, you know, people, I don't know, I think they would criticize him as a, you know, you know, genocide against the natives.
01:10:15.000These are some like, you know, I want to ask that.
01:10:17.000Yeah, some of the comments that people will make this way and that way.
01:10:21.000If you read his writings and you are a believing, spirit-filled Christian and you read Columbus's writings, you will instantly know that his faith was authentic.
01:10:30.000His faith was so spirit-filled, so profound.
01:10:33.000And I believe God absolutely, providentially led Columbus.
01:11:02.000I mean, overall, obviously, it's fun to say, you know, it's 1800s, Juneteenth.
01:11:05.000But yes, like we should, you know, celebrate Columbus because ultimately, Columbus discovering America was, it was a good thing, if only because it led to the creation of the United States of America, the greatest country in the history of the world, of course.
01:11:22.000We just, we cannot comprehend the world as it exists without Columbus being the guy who decided to miscalculate the size of the world, think he could sail to China in less time than it would actually take.
01:11:33.000And he, you know, ran into America and it created the modern world.
01:11:38.000We're all going to eat the foods that created.
01:11:40.000We're going to live under the society.
01:11:44.000And just he created, he actually created the global world, essentially.
01:11:48.000Before that, it was just a bunch of continents far separated.
01:11:53.000And it is because of Columbus's legacy that we live in a world that is fully interconnected and is Western in orientation, not Eastern, not Middle Eastern, not anything else.
