00:01:48.000Join us and thousands of American patriots for the summer convention that all are invited to.
00:01:56.000You're going to hear how we're going to win in 2024.
00:02:00.000The biggest speakers in the movement, featuring President Donald J. Trump.
00:02:05.000We're going to fight and we're going to win.
00:02:07.000Charlie Kirk, the late Yamaswami, Governor Christy Noah, Dr. Ben Carson, Steve Bannon, Candace Owens, Laura Trump, Senator Rick Scott, Congressman Matt Gates, Benny Johnson, Jack Pisovic, and more.
00:02:29.000June 14th through 16th, 2024 is our final battle in Detroit, Michigan.
00:02:35.000The great silent majority is rising like never before.
00:04:09.000Don't campaign where you're not going to win the election.
00:04:12.000But I'm starting to change my mind on it.
00:04:15.000There's a huge amount of viral energy around it.
00:04:19.000I think New York in particular has such a huge amount of cultural gravity for Americans that like everyone pays attention to what happens in New York.
00:04:39.000Trump's instincts are really strong and they've been really strong ever since he became a politician.
00:04:43.000And I think it makes sense that Trump, Trump's instincts would tell him, I should campaign in the most famous city in the world that is America's biggest city.
00:04:52.000And I should go there to campaign to people.
00:04:59.000And he probably, he still is not going to win New York, but maybe he will improve with all those groups that the polls show he's improving with from this.
00:05:07.000Well, yeah, I want to just give my thoughts here.
00:05:10.000Then Jack, I want you to chime in really quick.
00:05:29.000Or he'll win Illinois before he wins New York.
00:05:31.000However, however, I don't think Trump should open up a field office in New York, but he's basically on house arrest and he's exhausted and he has to spend time in what he calls the ice box.
00:05:41.000And as someone who's constantly complaining about temperature, I laugh all the time when Trump is complaining about temperature.
00:05:54.000He could fly to Michigan and he's planning to do that, obviously, throughout the summer, exhaust himself, come back to the ice box, or he can kind of go down the street and campaign in the very neighborhoods that he grew up in and around.
00:06:07.000I mean, the Bronx is not exactly Trump country.
00:06:10.000It is the more dangerous neighborhood of New York.
00:06:34.000Number two, I think that if this is going to be his energy, it's very similar to what we talked about earlier on our program, him accepting Joe Biden to want a debate.
00:06:44.000It's, I'm going to take it to the left.
00:06:59.000If it does, he wins everything and America is going to enter a pox Americana era.
00:07:05.000However, considering the circumstances, the viral nature of this, the amount of people that have made this now appointment viewing, Trump going to the Bronx, Trump going to the Bronx.
00:07:54.000Actually, I think this is a net win, not because it's going to boost our chances in New York, although it could actually help with some house seats.
00:08:01.000Instead, it creates this Trump 2016 energy.
00:08:04.000We're not going to take it easy and we're going to win.
00:08:07.000Yeah, Charlie, I mean, largely agree with everything you and Blake just said.
00:08:12.000John Lennon, of course, the quote was: you know, if I were alive 2,000 years ago, I would be living in Rome.
00:08:19.000And because I'm alive today, New York is the new Rome.
00:08:23.000And so that's where I'm going to live.
00:08:24.000He, of course, was murdered there later by a crazed fan.
00:08:28.000New York is a piece that we touched on, but we didn't really dig into.
00:08:32.000This isn't, New York City isn't just where Trump grew up.
00:08:35.000It is the city where he became Donald Trump, where he became a household figure, where he became the name who was a cameo in movie after movie and TV show after TV show.
00:08:45.000I mean, for 30 plus years, his name was synonymous with Mr. New York.
00:08:50.000And this is a huge, you know, some people have actually kind of been debating this recently that because there's sort of Florida Trump now and New York Trump.
00:09:01.000And people notice that when Trump's in New York, he seems to have a little bit more swagger in his step.
00:09:10.000His eyes are a little bit more focused.
00:09:13.000And it seems like he's drawing energy from the very streets.
00:09:16.000I think Jack is making a really interesting point here, which is like Trump in New York is very similar to Jerry Seinfeld when he visited his parents at Del Boca Vista.
00:09:27.000It's kind of like retirement and everything's slower.
00:09:32.000And he goes back to New York and it's very like New York energy and everything's quicker and has more velocity and rapidity.
00:09:39.000And he goes to New York and he's Donald Trump and he runs the city.
00:09:42.000Andrew, your thoughts from a PR perspective, this seems to really be as I would say as hot as a pistol on social media.
00:09:53.000I mean, it's full spectrum conversation monopoly right now.
00:09:58.000The whole nation is talking favorably.
00:10:01.000Well, I mean, to a certain extent, at least looking favorably upon this event in the Bronx.
00:10:05.000And by the way, the aesthetics are beautiful.
00:10:07.000Yeah, I think from a PR standpoint, it's a 10 out of 10 win.
00:10:12.000I think, you know, we talk about this in the same way we talk about sometimes the House being a little bit feckless, like, oh, these impeachments aren't going to work.
00:10:35.000It makes them look ridiculous, first of all.
00:10:38.000Secondly, when you take a look at the pictures that are coming out from this event and you see like, you know, you got the Puerto Ricans and the black dudes and you've got just the minority look.
00:10:50.000You have this Puerto Rican guy that went up on stage in broken English.
00:10:57.000You realize that this cross-cultural coalition that is ready for change is building a momentum.
00:11:06.000And those sound bites, those pictures that are going all over the internet, all of that builds up and you're giving more and more of an opportunity and a permission slip to people that otherwise wouldn't ever support a Republican to break party lines, to break the picket line and come over and join the family.
00:11:27.000Yeah, I'm looking on internet just like you are, Twitter, Instagram.
00:11:31.000It's Trump clips everywhere from the Bronx.
00:11:34.000And in a speech that didn't make a lot of news on its substance, it made a tremendous amount of news just by its very existence.
00:11:43.000And it's not dissimilar from the philosophy that we at Turning Point Action are doing with Detroit and our upcoming People's Convention, which I want to encourage you guys to go to tpaction.com slash peoples, tpaction.com slash peoples and get your tickets.
00:11:59.000So, Blake, you and I are in full harmony and agreement.
00:12:01.000And you and I kind of have this running joke, like, okay, stop saying you're going to win New York.
00:12:05.000However, there is a brilliance of, okay, they're trying to take you off the field and you're using it as an advantage.
00:12:14.000Just the bad guys thought that on May 23rd, 2024, if you told the Democrats that Donald Trump would be standing trial in New York, he would probably be like defeated, angry, and just like complaining, not doing a rather joyful, uplifting rally in the Bronx.
00:12:48.000And, you know, like they build this whole universe where he's like lurking in his lair, you know, right off after he's gotten off the phone with Putin plotting his treason.
00:12:58.000And it like just drives them insane how they can never actually beat the guy.
00:13:02.000He keeps, you know, I don't want to say he keeps getting away with it forever, but he certainly looks like it.
00:13:21.000And another thing that stood out to me about the South Bronx rally, it reminds me a lot of the 20 of the 2016 vibe where there's a latent absurdity to Trump.
00:13:30.000Like, oh, this guy we've seen in movies and on this reality show, he's running for president and he's got huge crowds and it's very strange crowds.
00:13:39.000It's almost like, did you ever watch that movie, Happy Gilmore, where they get like upset that there's all the hoi polloi are showing up at their golf events?
00:13:49.000And I think Trump rallies have a lot of that energy for people who are very serious about politics and they take it all very seriously.
00:13:57.000I think it was a very fun event and fun is a good excuse to do a political thing that otherwise might not make the most sense in a pure get ballots in boxes in the key states sort of way.
00:14:11.000So yeah, like we say, this doesn't matter because it will help him get to 270 because he flips New York and that makes his electoral math work.
00:14:21.000And if he gets too fixated on that, I think that would be a mistake.
00:14:26.000Now, I do think Trump genuinely thinks he can do this.
00:14:39.000But the fact that he genuinely feels that way and it causes him to go and just campaign with the energy others don't have campaign towards groups that other Republicans don't go for.
00:14:52.000That's what gives him a lot of this positive winner vibe energy.
00:14:56.000It's why it's why you increasingly get the feeling.
00:15:00.000I don't want to say a Trump win is inevitable, but Democrats have that sinking feeling in their stomach, like, oh, God, it's happening again.
00:15:14.000And to be honest, the Democrats went super hard super early and they threw a lot of lawfare at Trump and they thought it was going to be a bitter primary.
00:15:24.000And they are not happy where things are in May 2024, May 23rd, 2024.
00:15:29.000But I'm going to say, no, no, no, Blake.
00:16:57.000People forget the MAGA movement was born on Fifth Avenue at Trump Tower when Donald Trump came down the golden escalator.
00:17:06.000There is a certain quintessential essence to that that you're just not going to find or get anywhere else in the country.
00:17:14.000And you're certainly not going to get it if you're walking around like wearing masks and telling everyone to be socially distant and rallies and saying, oh, we're going to be checking it.
00:17:22.000No, it's the, I'm just going to say it.
00:17:25.000The MAGA movement is the quintessential American movement because it's two middle fingers up in the middle of the air, right in the face of the federal government, the establishment, the powers that be, all the people who say you can't.
00:18:17.000And after COVID, it's lost its cachet a little bit there.
00:18:21.000And Donald Trump was always Mr. New York.
00:18:23.000And I think this is important for another thing, too, which is that we say often one of the ways that we disempower the bad guys is that we do not show them that we are weak when they throw everything they can at us.
00:18:39.000They are throwing everything they can at Trump, and then he shows up at the Bronx.
00:18:43.000That is not the woke right playbook, right, Jack?
00:18:47.000And I want to throw it back to you, Jack.
00:18:59.000I want you to because I think it's really great.
00:19:02.000But really quick, Jack, just the woke right would instead, they would stay in their hotel room, be afraid to go out in public because they want to play by the old orthodoxy.
00:19:13.000Well, yeah, I mean, the woke right would be saying that Donald Trump should be huddling with his legal team and he shouldn't be out doing rallies and he should be, you know, be very careful and sending out lawyers to go and make the, you know, strong legal arguments in his case.
00:19:28.000And they would be saying that Trump should be challenging people to academic debates and they should be putting on some kind of intellectual Social salon over what the best philosophical aspects of modern history and the developments thereof would be to restore America and defeat wokeness.
00:19:51.000Because essentially, the problem with the woke right is that they're kind of half woke.
00:19:54.000They're not like all the way actually committed to a clear vision for restoring America along its original lines.
00:20:02.000And which, as I said, is just that huge two middle fingers up to the establishment saying, no, we are going to do this our way, and we don't care what you guys say about it.
00:20:18.000It is a, I would say, an aggressive bias towards action.
00:20:21.000And when I say action, of course, obviously you have to say this, oh, no, I don't mean like, you know, Sam Alito and the insurrection flag or Mrs. Alito, right?
00:20:28.000You know, obviously a complete hoax that they put out right now.
00:20:31.000But this is this is why the MAGA movement is doing so well right now is because people are actually seeing that they stand for something rather than just talk, that they can give tangible results.
00:20:44.000And the woke right was sort of the Washington generals that, you know, the team that plays against the team that plays against the Harlem Globetrotters.
00:20:53.000They get paid to lose every single night.
00:20:55.000They show up every night, they play, and they get paid to lose because the left dunks on them again, again, and again.
00:21:01.000Remember, these are the guys saying we should never do anything.
00:21:04.000We should just talk about the Constitution and how great it was and blah, blah, blah.
00:21:10.000Donald Trump was the guy who saw that the Wallman Rink, which he talked about tonight, which is one of these just great public goods that he did for the city of New York, was totally behind.
00:21:20.000And he said, look, I'm a private businessman.
00:21:22.000I'm going to come out of this world, do something for the public because I'm sick of looking at this.
00:21:27.000And my daughter wants to go ice skating, comes in, fixes the entire thing in three months.
00:21:31.000So it's the site of a city that was, by the way, totally crime ridden in the 1970s and 80s, gets cleaned up by Giuliani, the broken windows theory, which we've discussed many times here.
00:21:43.000They turned Times Square into like an amusement park, the Transit Disney World.
00:21:47.000And Donald Trump, of course, building and investing in Manhattan when everybody told him not to.
00:21:51.000And then fast forward, just a few years after that era.
00:21:55.000And you can't talk about New York without pointing out that it is also indelibly the site of America's greatest, I would say, modern tragedy.
00:22:04.000And that, of course, being 9-11 and the 3,000 people who died there and in the other spots, but the loss of the Twin Towers.
00:22:12.000This is why the Twin Towers were intact, because they were symbolic of America's greatness.
00:22:18.000It's also by, by the way, that Donald Trump back in 2011 was arguing that we should just rebuild them, possibly 10 stories higher, but looking exactly the same because he understands the power of cultural symbols and the cultural valence that they carry.
00:22:31.000You know, building a new tower, okay, that's nice, but it's not the same thing as restoring our powerful symbols.
00:22:37.000So he understands symbols because he understands branding.
00:22:40.000He understands cultural, cultural valence, and he understands the ability of those symbols to move mass movements.
00:22:47.000Look, you know, and I think we all know this.
00:22:50.000And I think everyone understands that in the same way that he looked at that ice rink and saw that it needed fixing and it needed somebody who wasn't a politician to get involved.
00:22:59.000That's basically just a microcosm of what he's trying to do with the country now.
00:23:03.000Email us as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:23:06.000If you guys want to contact us throughout the hour, Blake, what is our next topic?
00:23:23.000One, right here in town over at ASU, they have an art exhibit depicting our new modern Saint George, George Floyd, as Jesus Christ with a crown of thorns.
00:23:40.000And the other breaking news we have is they are going to be making a George Floyd biopic titled Daddy Changed the World, which he did, I guess.
00:24:02.000And I just keep thinking, I wonder how they're going to portray the scene where he holds a woman at gunpoint or where he participates in the adult film industry or where he decides to rob local small businesses of using fake money.
00:24:20.000But I'm sure they'll figure all of that out because he did change the world.
00:24:35.000The art exhibit is titled Twin Flames, The George Floyd Uprising from Minneapolis to Phoenix.
00:24:42.000And it includes imagery and narratives that elevate Floyd to a mythical status.
00:24:49.000Eliza Wesley, known as the gatekeeper of George Floyd Square, delivered a speech where she compared George Floyd to Jesus Christ and described him as the, quote, chosen one who died for each and every last one of us.
00:25:11.000Obviously, it's heretical and it's laughable in that sense.
00:25:13.000But if you are, if your religion is the religion of anti-racism, this actually makes a lot of sense because Floyd was supposed to be the moment where we entered into the anti-racist AD and prior was BC.
00:25:30.000For the neocon warmongers, World War II was kind of the crucifixion resurrection event, meaning that was like the change of everything, that the neoliberal rules-based order came in after World War II, and it's all we can talk about.
00:25:45.000For the anti-racists, it is the death of George Floyd.
00:25:50.000And so they look at him as a quasi-messianic figure that allowed a new covenant to almost come forward.
00:26:00.000And the new era that we, again, they're failing because DEI is now being defunded in North Carolina and CRT, but that is how they view him.
00:26:09.000They view him as this martyr that was wrongfully accused or killed or whatever or overdosed, however your opinion of events are, that then enters us into this new covenant of anti-racism.
00:26:55.000You know, I'm not sure they are wrong.
00:26:57.000And I think what is interesting is remarking on it as, you know, this, you know, before and after, you know, BF and AG.
00:27:07.000It's interesting because I was looking the other, actually just yesterday, I was looking, you know, they've been dutifully maintaining the database at the Washington Post and on Wikipedia of, you know, young black men shot by police.
00:27:22.000And like, you know, this has continued to happen since 2020.
00:27:25.000There have been cases, some of them, some of them much more sympathetic than Floyd, to be honest, of, you know, young black men being killed by police.
00:27:34.000And they've like occasionally had these false starts at trying to re you know, build it up again.
00:27:40.000Just a few days, a few weeks ago, you might remember that group of four kids who died in a car wreck where they were being pursued by police and they tried to make it this huge national atrocity.
00:27:49.000And everyone pointed out, well, they I think it was a stolen car or they were like driving wildly too fast, something like that.
00:28:21.000They haven't been able to get another one off the ground since then.
00:28:25.000And I think it shows that what was once this building movement has crystallized into a cultic thing where you either believe in St. George or you're just not a member of the religion anymore.
00:28:38.000And like there's no, there's no new prophets.
00:28:41.000Just like, you know, Jesus, Jesus was the end with Christianity.
00:28:44.000There's no new prophets coming after St. George.
00:28:47.000And I think it does indicate how 2020 was like the culmination of what they were doing.
00:28:54.000And it's sort of, it's lost energy after that.
00:28:56.000It's now just stuck with their one saint.
00:28:59.000But this is very important: Marxists are not shy about appropriating Christianity for their purposes.
00:29:07.000I mean, communism seeks to spiritually murder the individual so he can be reborn a communist.
00:29:13.000That has been a fundamental part of Marxist doctrine.
00:29:17.000That's why they're always targeting family, faith, and property because those are like the guardians of the soul.
00:29:24.000And so George Floyd, when he's saying, I can't breathe, the anti-racists look at that and they say that's him saying, go and make anti-racists of all nations.
00:29:34.000That was like the great commission to them.
00:29:37.000And they're failing miserably because their fake pagan, anti-racist religion is deeply unpopular and is built on resentment and greed and bitterness and doesn't build anything.
00:29:50.000But the religious undertones, you look at that on face value and you should get outrage.
00:30:26.000By the way, if you want an early copy, make sure that when you come to people's in Detroit at Turning Point Action, we're going to be doing the book launch there.
00:30:35.000Unhumansbook.com is where you can get access to this.
00:30:38.000And of course, this is called Unhumans, The Secret History of Communist Revolutions and How to Crush Them.
00:30:44.000And we talk again and again about how in many instances, not necessarily the appropriation of Christianity, which of course we see so much in liberation theory, but we also see the suppression of Christianity and the replacing of Christianity with a new religion.
00:31:01.000You see this, of course, in the French Revolution.
00:31:08.000Blake Neff and I did a whole series about this over the Christmas break, talking about how religion is constantly targeted, not because, by the way, they say they're targeting it in the name of being anti-religion because they are freeing people from the oppression of religion and the obiate of the masses.
00:31:24.000However, comma, they are replacing it with their own religion.
00:31:27.000And so every new religion, every conquering power always seeks to subsume and destroy and obliterate the previous power and replace it with their own.
00:31:38.000And we talk about how this is done time and again.
00:31:41.000It is a playbook that has been run all over the world.
00:31:44.000It's been run for hundreds, 250 years in some instances.
00:31:49.000And so we are just seeing the version of it that's playing out now that we refer to as an irregular communist revolution because it happens in drips and drabs, but then there are also spikes.
00:31:59.000You saw a flare-up, of course, of this in the leftist campus protests that just, you know, really just kind of died down, a school let out.
00:32:06.000But in 2020, like we're talking about, there really was the pseudo-theological infrastructure created for a new type of religion, which, of course, justifies the revolution.
00:32:19.000And that's always what they're seeking to do.
00:37:04.000So just out of all of our six different choices that we had in the Midwest, and Blake knows exactly what I'm talking about being from the Midwest, like going out, going to Chili's, right?
00:37:15.000It's just like a very Midwest thing, okay?
00:37:18.000Is that we would never dare to go to Red Lobster.
00:37:21.000Let's just, it's just, it's just, you take your life in your own hands.
00:37:25.000This whole idea of mass producing mollusks and acting as if that there's no downside to that is just that's all I got.
00:37:38.000I just want to make sure you hear this story, Charlie, because it's a funny story and our viewers should also hear this story, which is that we don't know this is true.
00:39:21.000It is possible that the bottomless shrimp deal was Red Lobster's owner going, We need to get as much value as we can out of this dying corpse.
00:39:52.000And I want to just first say, I admire that idea of Red Lobster, which was we are going to bring a luxury item that is largely regional in Maine and Massachusetts.
00:40:06.000And we want the everyday person to be able to have lobster.
00:40:09.000Because in the country that I grew up in, you guys know this, and still it's the case, like luxury, like lobster is a big deal.
00:40:15.000And to be able to afford it and cook it, I don't know if you guys have ever actually had to eat a lobster with your hands.
00:40:41.000I think a common ancestor, if you accept a controversial theory that we won't get into here.
00:40:47.000And so, and what I'm saying is that the idea of Red Lobster, which economically worked for a while, which was we're going to bring the unreachable insect to the everyday American, just turns out those numbers don't work.
00:41:04.000And I can't, I imagine inflation crushed them.
00:41:16.000Well, I think I would take the optimistic view, which is I think you're correct.
00:41:21.000These are the Midwest staples of, you know, if you're in a town of 15,000, 20,000, even like 100,000 people, for a lot of people, the nice restaurant in town is Red Lobster or Applebee's or Chili's.
00:41:37.000And I don't think it's because accessible restaurants are becoming inaccessible.
00:41:41.000I think it's actually probably the opposite.
00:41:43.000As we've heard from every liberal, the only reason to have immigration is so you have unlimited ethnic food.
00:41:49.000But I think I would say in the last 20 years, I think restaurant food in America has gotten better.
00:41:55.000And so what I think is actually happening is a lot of these, the most generic restaurants are getting just out-competed by restaurants that specialize more or are just more interesting, more distinctive in how they prepare their food.
00:42:11.000So yeah, we're losing red lobster, but if you drive literally half a mile down the road, just away from where we are, there's a place, Angie's lobster, and you can buy a lobster roll for like $9.
00:42:24.000And that's even more affordable than red lobster.
00:42:30.000And I think you can find that in a lot of things.
00:42:32.000So I think what we're actually seeing is it's gotten so competitive that really genuinely, really nice restaurants, you can go to them for about the same price point that you would get at Red Lobster.
00:42:59.000So I actually went to Red Lobster growing up and I was always so excited to go to Red Lobster because they had pizza at the at the buffet, like the bar.
00:43:08.000The salad bar actually had hot food and like endless pasta.
00:43:11.000So I would just eat pizza and pasta the whole time.
00:43:14.000But like I look at Red Lobster like I look at malls, you know, like that we're always hearing about the death of malls.
00:43:20.000It's just like a shifting purchasing power.
00:43:23.000And it's like, you know, when these things sprung onto the scene back in like probably the 80s, it was new.
00:43:31.000It was this sort of elevated cuisine that had some kind of catch to it, whether it be like, you know, endless food, you know, all you can eat or whatever.
00:43:40.000And it's just kind of outlived its usefulness.
00:43:42.000Like we're, that's not the eating habits of Americans anymore.
00:44:32.000Of all the restaurant chains where I think of that's where black America spends a lot of their time is red lobster very popular.
00:44:40.000I don't even know how you're trying to, I'm going through like my woke Olympics, you know, iterations in my head.
00:44:47.000I'm like, how do you even get to there's other fast food chains that I would totally, I'm not going to say them, but you guys can, I want to read the subhead here because it's hard to read.
00:44:56.000Restaurateur Bill Darden's decision to treat all diners the same should not have been a radical proposition, but it was.
00:45:03.000And it mattered greatly to black people eating it.
00:45:06.000I guess they might be referring to like the founder of it.
00:45:08.000So maybe it was a place that integrated before others, but the implication of it is also that like red lobster was like holding the line against segregation or something.
00:45:19.000But I guess if he if he genuinely was a pioneer in desegregation in the 60s, it says Bill Darden opened the first Red Lobster just south of Orlando in 1968, shortly before MLK Jr.'s assassination.
00:45:32.000So, okay, if he was a pioneer, not good for him.
00:45:36.000I don't want to degrade that, but I suspect the actual reason it hit harder is apparently, I guess, black people like shrimp, black people like crab.
00:45:45.000Maybe Red Lobster was a place they were likely to get it.
00:45:48.000I think they'll still be able to get it at other places.
00:45:51.000I can see that in the South for sure, that if that's, you know, that seafood gumbo culture, you know, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, I just, I struggle to think when I think of Red Lobster, I think of like white Midwestern family celebrates graduation in northern Iowa and they drive 35 minutes and wait 20 minutes for a table and giddily get served lobster.
00:46:29.000I do think actually as communities have shifted and neighbors have shifted, I just randomly in like my memory, I'm remembering three or four red lobsters.
00:46:38.000One being where I grew up was kind of in an okay part of town, but is like the town has shifted.
00:47:01.000So I'm going to, I have to, according to our resident urban expert, when he, this is Beyonce's song, when he effed me good, I take his to Red Lobster because I slay.
00:47:46.000I just, I learned, I learned something, learned something new.
00:47:48.000If we want one final angle to this, I have noticed this trend.
00:47:53.000Apparently, just a huge number of restaurants are, they're basically just going to like app delivery only because people don't like to go out to restaurants if you're like a neurotic Taylor Lorenz type person and can't eat out.
00:48:10.000And then also like the decline, like the rise of crime in America means there's more likely to be like fights in restaurants.
00:48:16.000I don't know, but that would be the last possible angle on it.
00:49:09.000I still think when you see articles like this, though, they are all channeling this, like America's still this like dystopian racial, you know, nightmare and black people can't get a seat at a restaurant.
00:49:25.000So it's like, okay, you don't got the local red lobster.
00:49:28.000It became this like classy sort of like, you know, maybe black people reclaimed it as their little, their restaurant or something in the last 10 years.
00:50:00.000Along with hiring thousands of new agents and field officers, the IRS has kicked off 2024 by sending over 5 million payup letters to those who have unfiled tax returns or balances owed.

00:50:53.000And I just sent the video clip, so hopefully, we'll get it soon, but I'm just going to narrate what it was.
00:50:57.000So, Eric Prince, founder of Blackwater, former Navy SEAL, who we also just talked with recently, he was also on Tucker's show.
00:51:07.000And Tucker, they start talking about unmanned drones, which have become far more prominent in the Ukraine-Russia war.
00:51:13.000And Tucker asks him, in 10 years, what will unmanned drones be able to do?
00:51:18.000And what Eric Prince says is, as an example of what they can do, is you could load a face into a drone's network, just like a person's face using facial recognition, and it could use network surveillance, other forms of available data to just find a person and it just flies into their brain and kills them or pops them in the head with like one little bullet out of a little thing.
00:51:44.000You can have a drone, you know, the size of a cell phone and do this.
00:51:48.000And that's basically the future: you can just have a drone.
00:52:05.000Like, one, if you can do this, you can just have, you can build a drone for the price of an iPhone and use that to kill an enemy soldier in the front line.
00:52:15.000And you can just send thousands of these out, thousands and thousands of drones.
00:52:19.000And so you make it, you could just win a war with nothing but machines.
00:52:24.000You make it so if you're a neocon who wants to do interventions, it's way easier to justify sweeping interventions if you're basically just sending a bunch of guys playing a video game in real life to pilot some drones to go blow people up.
00:52:39.000It makes various forms of horrifying tyranny a lot easier.
00:52:43.000Your China-style government can just have their drones patrolling everywhere and they're run by AI and they use visual surveillance to track people.
00:52:52.000And for that matter, it's probably way easier to imagine a criminal use of this.
00:52:57.000So let's imagine someone who hates Donald Trump and they make their little cell phone-sized drone and it just zooms past the Secret Service, pops Trump in the head.
00:53:26.000You could load a face and between network surveillance and the facial recognition on that drone, find one person and fly into that person's head that fast.
00:53:40.000So identity management, privacy will become even more essential.
00:53:46.000You think about how many cameras, how much data is being constantly collected everywhere from street cameras, from door knock, from doorbell cameras, from facial recognition at the airport.
00:55:48.000And these are things where you've got to charge now an explosive that's the size of a can of soda.
00:55:55.000And that's enough to kill somebody, or that's enough to severely mess up a tank because most tanks are not designed to actually protect against aerial attack.
00:56:05.000It's just not something that's ever really been done before.
00:56:07.000So the armor on a tank, this is a huge issue that people are doing in the war right now.
00:56:14.000So they're putting up netting and they're putting up these like this like caging on the on the tanks because most actually all of the tanks on both sides were not designed for this type of drone attack.
00:56:25.000But the bigger question then is if the tanks aren't effective anymore, now we're just back to trench warfare like World War I, which everybody realizes totally sucks.
00:56:32.000And it was chemical weapons that were unleashed in that just absolute hellscape of the Great War on the Western Front.
00:56:40.000And this became a huge game changer in World War I in the same way that drones will effectively lead to the point where, and as Blake is saying, imagine it's not just warfare, right?
00:56:52.000Imagine when criminals get this, imagine when assassins get this, imagine when terrorists get a hold of this, which and the technology is so cheap.
00:57:13.000And another thought I've had is it's almost like upsetting to think about this.
00:57:18.000We had our first run, like you said, in, you know, you go back to World War One.
00:57:22.000When you think of the traditional, like traditional masculine military virtues, you know, being like just like physical strength and steadfastness and leadership, like all these things that used to make a soldier effective, they were hurt a lot when it just suddenly warfare was like, oh, a giant artillery shell drops on you and you just all get blown up by it.
00:57:47.000It doesn't matter how strong you were.
00:57:48.000It doesn't matter how tough you were or how well trained you were.
00:57:51.000You just got randomly blown up by a bomb on the side of the road.
00:57:54.000And this is like a creepier, even more extreme version of this, where it's like, no matter how hard you've traded or trained, or for that matter, like how quality of a person and soldier you are, a robot run by AI or just piloted by someone who's essentially a video game player can just be vastly superior to you.
00:58:16.000And I suppose it's just interesting to think about the ramifications for that.
00:58:19.000Like we talk about the decline of the U.S. military because the U.S. military just loves having trannies now and they talk about their feelings and all the old values of the military that won World War II are just getting totally blotted out.
00:58:35.000But maybe it won't matter because it turns out that trannies are really good at playing video games.
00:58:39.000And what we actually just need is a bunch of people who can fly a robot at someone's head and blow it up.
00:58:45.000So what you're pinpointing here, Blake, is very important.
00:58:47.000And it's very similar to Churchill in one of his books.
00:59:47.000It takes valor out of war and combat, which then asks the question, we're probably going to get more war.
00:59:55.000If we can now declare war with just machines and robotics and the human cost can be minimal, the neocons are going to go crazy, right, Andrew?
01:00:06.000Now it's basically a glorified Call of Duty game where you're just watching a screen and you're so disconnected from the price of war.
01:00:34.000I actually think if you lower the price of war, both from a technological standpoint and from a human cost standpoint, yeah, you probably will get more war simply because, at least in the short term, because this is going to be a disruptive technology, certainly, but then defenses will get more sophisticated on how to detect these drones, how to defend against them, how to neutralize them before they get to you.
01:00:57.000So, you know, and that's happened in every single new technology of war, except for possibly, you know, nuclear power, right?
01:01:06.000Because how do you neutralize that exactly?
01:01:09.000But so there will be a countermeasure to this, but I, but I'm less thinking about neocons, and I'm thinking about, I'm thinking about, you know, some random, you know, tribe, tribal dispute, you know, in Africa.
01:01:22.000And then, you know, the Iranians fly them in some drones just to cause a skirmish.
01:01:26.000And next thing you know, you've got massive casualties at an unprecedented scale because they can just fly a drone into some village.
01:01:36.000Maybe what the neocons are they're going to say is say, look, we need even more warmaking powers.
01:01:42.000We need even more weapons to now defend against these defenseless groups all over the world as the Iranians and the Russians are flying in drone technology.
01:01:54.000So maybe it justifies the neocons spending more in their mind and we will get more war.
01:02:21.000I was just going to say, I think we were going to do the same thing, but someone has an important question for you, Jack, and it's got to be answered.
01:04:24.000Yeah, did they finally go to NASCAR itself?
01:04:30.000Yeah, NASCAR itself as an organization definitely needs to be needs to be taken over and reconquista.
01:04:39.000NASCAR needs to reconquista because they did this thing too, where not only did they go woke, they started telling people like certain flags you're not allowed to bring.
01:04:48.000They started telling people that, oh, we're going to have mandatory break periods now at like certain labs.
01:04:53.000Whereas before, a lot of what it comes down to is this.
01:04:56.000And yeah, I know the knockout is like, oh, you're just turning left.
01:04:59.000And, but something that I got by actually going to the NASCAR races is that back in the day, it used to be about the strategy of, okay, what tires do you use?
01:05:08.000And when do you change your tires and how much gas do you have left?
01:05:10.000And then all of these different little, these different requirements that you have to dig into.
01:05:15.000Then, okay, when do you make your pit?
01:05:18.000This guy right here, Dale Earnhardt, was probably the most aggressive racer ever in mainstream NASCAR.
01:05:23.000And so you, and obviously the greatest champion of all time, and number three, baby, number three.
01:05:29.000And the idea that they're going to just, you know, lay all these restrictions on that and lay restrictions on the audience, it's ridiculous.
01:06:05.000And Charlotte, let's not fool ourselves.
01:06:08.000There'll be a lot of Georgians there too.
01:06:10.000A lot of Georgians making the road trip to Charlotte, North Carolina.
