00:00:12.000I want to thank you for supporting us at charliekirk.com slash support.
00:00:17.000If you want to get behind our program and you like the intensity that we bring, you like the research, you like the amount of content and our work ethic, and you say, you know what, I want to help out this podcast, then go to charliekirk.com slash support to do that.
00:00:32.000It helps us continue to grow to new heights.
00:01:14.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:35.000If you're with ATT Verizon or T-Mobile, your family could save over $800 a year just by switching to PeerTalk.
00:01:41.000You'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.
00:01:47.000By the way, PeerTalk is the top-rated wireless company by Consumer Affairs with the absolute best customer service team based right here in America.
00:03:24.000So we'll get into that and we'll dive into that a little bit deeper.
00:03:28.000But I want to get into a feud that's happening between a couple states.
00:03:33.000Liberal Justice Louis Brandeis said that states are laboratories of democracy.
00:03:42.000That we will be able to tell what states are succeeding and failing.
00:03:49.000Remember, what makes the American Republican system different, small R, not Republican Party, but a system based in a constitutional republic, is that the states created the federal government.
00:04:02.000The federal government did not create the states.
00:04:04.000That distinction is so incredibly important.
00:04:08.000We're a coalition of sovereign entities that voluntarily agreed to a national compact.
00:04:13.000That is why those of us that are conservatives don't like the heavy hand of the federal government.
00:04:19.000We say, why does the Department of Education exist?
00:04:22.000Why do you need a Department of Labor when you have a Georgia Department of Labor?
00:04:27.000The federal government should be there for federal crimes, military, when needed, a social safety net, but really that should be left to the states.
00:04:36.000Interstate commerce, protecting federal parks and lands, protecting our borders, managing immigration, international diplomacy.
00:04:48.000And I'm sure there's a couple other things I can name that would probably be the proper role of government.
00:05:00.000The Founding Fathers knew that as soon as you strengthen a centralized federal government, as soon as you put unchecked power into D.C., they're soon going to forget who they represent.
00:05:18.000You will live under bad laws inevitably if you lose a connection to the people who put you into office.
00:05:29.000I encourage all of you to watch Mark Levin this weekend, Mark Levin, the great one.
00:05:34.000I'm on Mark Levin on the Fox News channel this weekend.
00:05:39.000Where I think that some people that go to Washington, D.C. forget who they actually represent.
00:05:46.000I really believe that Liz Cheney thinks that she represents the people within Congress.
00:05:53.000I think she looks around Congress and she views that as a corporate board meeting, that that's who she represents.
00:06:01.000That she wants to win favor and approval of the lobbyists and the reporters.
00:06:06.000When in reality, the way that the system was built by the Founding Fathers, she needs to go win favor and approval of the people of Wyoming.
00:06:15.000And so the difference between states should give all of you hope.
00:06:26.000A lot of you are looking for hope right now, and you should be.
00:06:31.000We try to be an optimistic, forward-thinking program.
00:07:05.000Because it shows that certain states will be rewarded for better behavior, that certain states will be rewarded for passing same laws, that certain states will be rewarded for making the right decisions.
00:07:22.000And if you have the movement or the capacity to move, then that is also a freedom that you are granted under this interstate compact.
00:07:31.000And so Governor Ron DeSantis right now is under massive attack.
00:07:38.000We have done entire hours dedicated to Governor Ron DeSantis because he is courageous, he is clear, he has results to show for it.
00:07:47.000And there's even more that I want to unpack there.
00:07:50.000So, Governor Ron DeSantis was attacked by the Biden administration, where McClatchy reported on Thursday: quote: The Biden administration is considering whether to impose domestic travel restrictions, including on Florida, fearful that the Chinese coronavirus mutations are threatening to reverse hard-fought progress on the pandemic.
00:08:08.000Let me say, let me just make sure you understand what that is.
00:08:11.000The Biden administration, the federal government, is thinking on putting restrictions, sanctions on a state.
00:08:22.000Could you imagine if Donald Trump would have came out and said, you know what?
00:08:26.000I'm going to put restrictions to go into New York or California.
00:08:30.000They would have called him Benito Mussolini.
00:08:44.000Restricting the rights of Americans to travel freely throughout our country while allowing illegal aliens to pour across the southern border unmolested would be ridiculous, but a very damaging farce.
00:08:56.000So why is the activist media so upset at Florida?
00:09:04.000Is it that the Chinese coronavirus is raging worse than ever in Florida?
00:09:55.000Yet Florida has a larger population than New York.
00:09:58.000So Florida has less deaths, less nursing home deaths, less job loss, less people currently hospitalized, less daily cases, and more people vaccinated.
00:10:09.000The reason that they want to sanction the sovereign state of Florida, the reason that they want to go after Florida is because Ron DeSantis is making them all look terrible.
00:10:22.000Ron DeSantis is proving that you can have a wide open state and schools that are open, a successful vaccination policy, and not destroy the economy.
00:10:32.000New York is proving that while you write a memoir in the midst of the virus, you lie about nursing home deaths, which Andrew Cuomo might be under federal investigation very soon for that, as a whistleblower has come out.
00:11:07.000Florida is actually more densely populated.
00:11:10.000And Florida is visited more potentially by infected tourists.
00:11:15.000We now have the laboratories of democracy.
00:11:22.000Every new year, all you hear is new year, new me.
00:11:24.000That usually means you'll be picking up better habits or trying new things.
00:11:28.000And when you do take up a new hobby, it's even better when you have amazing audio that will make the experience even better.
00:11:33.000That's why I recommend wireless earpuds from Raycon.
00:11:36.000Whether it's following along to directions in the kitchen, binging a new audiobook 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.
00:11:49.000Raycon makes great sound accessible to everyone.
00:11:51.000Their wireless earbuds start at half the price of other premium audio brands.
00:11:55.000If 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.
00:12:01.000They come in a range of stylish colorways, but along with comfortable in-ear fit for a more discreet look.
00:12:09.000Raycons 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.
00:13:09.000You know, I will, people have asked me about, there was some type of report about potential travel restrictions on Americans and on Floridians.
00:13:18.000And I just, I think it's an absurd report that they would be doing that.
00:13:22.000I think it would be unconstitutional, it would be unwise, and it would be unjust.
00:13:27.000And if you think about it, restricting the right of Americans to travel freely throughout our country while allowing illegal aliens to pour across the southern border unmolested would be a ridiculous but very damaging farce.
00:14:18.000Governor Gavin Newsom is facing a serious recall threat.
00:14:22.000As I made the prediction on this program yesterday, Governor Gavin Newsom is likely going to challenge all of the signatures that are submitted in favor of his recall.
00:14:33.000He's going to say, well, there could be fraudulent signatures.
00:14:46.000I hope we can have a robust debate on how, when you have millions of people that participate in something, there could be a little bit of fraud and shenanigans.
00:14:58.000I just can't wait for Governor Gavin Newsom to do that.
00:15:00.000But Governor Gavin Newsom is facing a very serious recall threat.
00:15:04.000Now, that doesn't mean that he'll necessarily be removed from office.
00:15:07.000The way it works in California, they submit the signatures.
00:15:10.000It looks like they're on pace to do it.
00:15:11.000They're going to probably hit 2 million signatures, which is a real accomplishment.
00:15:16.000And I know a lot of people that are working on the ground on the Gavin Newsom recall in California, they have told me that it is Democrats that are signing up at this moment just as much as Republicans, which is awesome.
00:15:31.000And so the way it works in California is then if a recall is triggered, then there's a waiting period where there's a campaign period, and then the ballots go out or you go to vote and it'll say, do you want a yes or no recall?
00:15:44.000And then if yes, who do you want to replace that person with?
00:15:48.000So it would have to be 50 plus 1% to be able to have Gavin Newsom recalled.
00:15:54.000And then you have to have the if yes, whoever wins that would then replace him.
00:15:58.000And names that are being floated out is former director of national intelligence Rick Grinnell, who I think would be a terrific choice for that, amongst many other names that I know in California.
00:16:09.000But I could tell you this: that the grassroots rebellion against Gavin Newsom is legitimate.
00:16:22.000And this is the system the Founding Fathers built for us.
00:16:26.000Isn't it amazing to think, James Madison, the architect of the U.S. Constitution, the foundation built on the laws of nature and nature's God as it's articulated in the Declaration, that that system and that framework, it still is relevant.
00:17:08.000And so while you have Florida booming with Ron DeSantis and his approval ratings going up, Democrats that are scared to even confront him in an election, you have the opposite happening on the other side of the country.
00:17:21.000Gavin Newsom facing a rebellion of working people of the muscular class that says, you know what, Gavin Newsom, you can go eat at French laundry, but that doesn't mean you can do it as governor.
00:18:38.000So if you want to be able to support Mike Lindell against the cancellation culture, the tsunami, the hurricane of cancellations that Mike Lindell has to endure, all because he has decided to ask questions about voter integrity, then you guys can get a queen-size premium MyPillow for $29.98.

00:19:40.000Our Constitution and any basic sense of fairness require that every legal process with significant consequences for a person's life, including impeachment, requires due process under the law, which includes fact-finding and the establishment of a legitimate evidentiary record with an appropriate foundation.
00:20:04.000Even last year's impeachment followed committee hearings and months of examination and investigation by the House.
00:20:11.000Here, President Trump and his counsel were given no opportunity to review evidence or question its propriety.
00:20:19.000The rush to judgment for a snap impeachment in this case was just one example of the denial of due process.
00:20:29.000Another, perhaps even more vitally significant example was the denial of any opportunity ever to test the integrity of the evidence offered against Donald J. Trump in a proceeding seeking to bar him from ever holding public office again and that seeks to disenfranchise some 75 million voters, American voters.
00:20:55.000On Wednesday this week, countless news outlets repeated the Democrat talking point about the power of never-before-seen footage.
00:21:09.000Why was this footage never seen before?
00:21:12.000Shouldn't the subject of an impeachment trial, this impeachment trial, President Trump, have the right to see the so-called new evidence against him?
00:21:20.000More importantly, the riot and the attack on this very building was a major event that shocked and impacted all Americans.
00:21:28.000Shouldn't the American people have seen this footage as soon as it was available?
00:21:34.000For what possible reason did the House managers withhold it from the American people and President Trump's lawyers?
00:22:39.000If an inquiry of that magnitude is needed to determine the causes of the riot, and it may very well be, then how can these same Democrats have the certainty needed to bring articles of impeachment and blame the riots on President Trump?
00:24:29.000You get more due process than this when you fight a parking ticket.
00:24:34.000One reason due process is so important with respect to evidence offered against an accused is that it requires an opportunity to test the integrity, the credibility, the reliability of the evidence.
00:24:48.000Here, of course, former President Trump was completely denied any such opportunity.
00:24:54.000And it turns out, there is significant reason to doubt the evidence that House managers have put before us.
00:25:21.000Rather, it is a product of what we have found in just the limited time we have had since we first saw the evidence here with you this week.
00:25:32.000We have reason to believe that the House managers created false representations of tweets, and the lack of due process means there was no opportunity to review or verify the accuracy.
00:25:46.000The House managers, proud of their work on this snap impeachment, staged numerous photo shoots of their preparations.
00:25:57.000In one of those, Manager Raskin is seen here at his desk reviewing two tweets side by side.
00:26:04.000The image on his screen claims to show that President Trump had retweeted one of those tweets.
00:26:10.000Now, members of the Senate, let's look closely at this screen, because obviously Manager Raskin considered it important enough that he invited the New York Times to watch him watching it.
00:27:30.000The user's real account is not verified and has no blue check mark, as you can see.
00:27:35.000Were you trying to make her account seem more significant, or were you just sloppy?
00:27:41.000If we had due process of law in this case, we would know the truth.
00:27:46.000But that's not all that's wrong with this one tweet.
00:27:51.000House Manager Swalwell showed you this tweet this week, and he emphasized that this tweet reflected a call to arms.
00:27:58.000He told you repeatedly that this was a promise to call in the cavalry for January 6th.
00:28:04.000He expressly led you to believe that President Trump's supporter believed that the President wanted armed supporters at the January 6th speech, paramilitary groups, the cavalry, ready for physical combat.
00:28:18.000The problem is the actual text is exactly the opposite.
00:28:22.000The tweeter promised to bring the Calvary, a public display of Christ's crucifixion, a central symbol of her Christian faith, with her to the President's speech, a symbol of faith, love, and peace.
00:28:38.000They just never want to seem to read the text and believe what the text means.
00:28:43.000You'll see this reported in the media last evening also.
00:30:15.000To cheer on some members of Congress, and not others, peacefully and patriotically.
00:30:21.000The Supreme Court ruled in Brandenburg that there's a very clear standard for incitement.
00:30:25.000In short, to paraphrase whether the speech was intended to provoke imminent lawless action and was it likely to do so.
00:30:32.000Go to the Capitol and cheer on some members of Congress, but not others.
00:30:37.000They know it doesn't meet the standard for incitement, so they edited it down.
00:30:44.000We heard a lot this week about fight like hell, but they cut off the video before they showed you the president's optimistic, patriotic words that followed immediately after.
00:30:58.000We fight like hell, and if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.
00:31:03.000Our exciting adventures and boldest endeavors have not yet begun.
00:31:09.000My fellow Americans, for our movement, for our children, and for our beloved country.
00:31:16.000And I say this, despite all that's happened, the best is yet to come.
00:31:26.000There's that famous quote, like one of the House managers said, a lie will travel halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put its shoes on.
00:31:36.000Well, this lie traveled around the world a few times, made its way into the Biden campaign talking points, and ended up on the Senate floor.
00:32:07.000You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue and the renaming of a park from Robert E. Lee to another name.
00:32:50.000And you had people, and I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally.
00:32:56.000But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay?
00:33:03.000And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.
00:33:06.000Now, in the other group also, you had some fine people, but you also had troublemakers, and you see them come with the black outfits and with the helmets and with the baseball bats.
00:33:20.000You had a lot of bad people in the other group, too.
00:33:23.000I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you were saying.
00:33:24.000You were saying the press has treated white nationalists unfairly.
00:33:27.000I just didn't understand what you were saying.
00:33:28.000There were people in that rally, and I looked the night before.
00:33:31.000If you look, they were people protesting very quietly the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee.
00:33:42.000I'm sure in that group there were some bad ones.
00:33:44.000The following day, it looked like they had some rough, bad people, neo-Nazis, white nationalists, whatever you want to call them.
00:33:53.000But you had a lot of people in that group that were there to innocently protest and very legally protest because I don't know if you know, they had a permit.
00:34:38.000One of the House managers made much of the president's supposedly ominous words of, you have to get your people to fight.
00:34:45.000But you knew what the president really meant.
00:34:48.000He meant that the crowd should demand action from members of Congress and support primary challenges to those who don't do what he considered to be right.
00:34:57.000Support primary challenges, not violent action.
00:35:01.000I know what he meant because I watched the full video.
00:38:59.000You can either lie down, you can whimper, you can pull up at a ball, you can decide to move to Canada, or you can stand your ground and fight back.
00:49:28.000They're not going to let up, and they should not.
00:49:33.000You claim that it's wrong to object to the certification of election results.
00:49:37.000You, along with your allies in the media, attempted to cancel and censor members of this chamber who voiced concerns and objected to certification.
00:49:46.000Manager Raskin, you'd been in Congress only three days when you objected in 2017.
00:49:51.000It's one of the first things you did when you got here.
00:49:54.000I have an objection because 10 of the 29 electoral votes cast by Florida were cast by electors not lawfully certified.
00:50:03.000Is the objection in writing and signed not only by the member of the House of Representatives, but also by a senator?
00:50:42.000I've objected to the counting of the electoral votes of the state of Ohio.
00:50:46.000I object to the certificate from the state of Alabama.
00:50:48.000The electors were not lawfully certified.
00:50:51.000I object to the 15 votes from the state of North Carolina because of the massive vote of suppression and the closing of voting polling booths.
00:51:33.000And when the House managers realized that the President's actual words could not have incited the riot, as you alleged in your article of impeachment, you attempted to pivot.
00:51:43.000You said that raising the issue of election security and casting doubt on the propriety of our elections was dangerous.
00:51:50.000One of the House managers, Mr. Ciceline, told you that this is not about the words Mr. Trump used in isolation.
00:51:58.000Rather, it is about the big lie, the claim that the election was stolen.
00:52:04.000The House managers told you that it's the big lie that incited the riot, and that the big lie was President Trump's claim that the election was not a fair election or that the election was stolen.
00:52:16.000Claiming an election was stolen, you were told, are words that are insightful to a candidate's followers and cause people to respond violently.
00:52:26.000Claiming an election was stolen or not legitimate is something that a candidate should never do because he or she knows or should know that such a claim and such words can actually incite violent insurrection, you were told.
00:52:41.000Well, it seems that the House manager's position must be actually a bit narrower than that.
00:52:46.000The House manager's position really is that when Republican candidates for office claim an election is stolen or that the winner is illegitimate, it constitutes inciting an insurrection and the candidate should know it.
00:52:59.000But Democratic Party candidates for public elective office are perfectly entitled to claim the election was stolen or that the winner is illegitimate or to make any other outrageous claim they can.
00:53:45.000But can you imagine telling your supporters that the only way you could possibly lose is if an American election was rigged and stolen from you?
00:53:58.000And ask yourself whether you've ever seen anyone at any level of government make the same claim about their own election.
00:54:09.000If Stacey Abrams doesn't win in Georgia, they stole it.
00:55:10.000They promised to deliver the very COVID relief in the form of $2,000 stimulus checks that President Trump called for.
00:55:17.000They should have listened to their own words of the past.
00:55:21.000I leave you with the wise words of Congressman Jerry Nadler.
00:55:27.000The effect of impeachment is to overturn the popular will of the voters.
00:55:31.000We must not overturn an election and remove a president from office, except to defend our system of government or our constitutional liberties against the dire threat.
00:55:40.000And we must not do so without an overwhelming consensus of the American people.
00:55:44.000There must never be a narrowly voted impeachment or an impeachment supported by one of our major political parties and opposed by the other.
00:55:53.000Such an impeachment will produce the divisiveness and bitterness in our politics for years to come and will call into question the very legitimacy of our political institutions.
00:56:03.000The American people have heard the allegations against the president and they overwhelmingly oppose impeaching him.
00:56:12.000We have no right to overturn the considered judgment of the American people.
00:56:17.000Mr. Speaker, the case against the president has not been made.
00:56:23.000There is far from sufficient evidence to support the allegations.
00:56:27.000And the allegations, even if proven true, do not rise to the level of impeachable offenses.
00:56:34.000Mr. Speaker, this is clearly a partisan railroad job.
00:56:37.000The same people who today tell us we must impeach the president for lying under oath, almost to a person voted last year to re-elect the speaker who had just admitted lying to Congress in an official proceeding.
00:56:48.000The American people are watching and they will not forget.
00:57:11.000As the China virus spread across the globe in the spring of 2020, Noble Gold investors flocked to precious metals as a financial safeguard.
00:57:19.000Gold is up more than 30% since March of 2020.
00:57:21.000Silver surged more than 50% over the same period, reflecting the correlation among precious metals during the time of financial volatility.
00:57:27.000But providing financial protection is not the only role that precious metals play in this fight.
00:57:32.000Precious metals also have broad applications in the medical field that go well beyond the dental uses most people associate with their value.
00:57:39.000But providing financial protection is not the only role that precious metals play in this fight.
00:57:43.000Gold and silver nanoparticles are an essential part of virus research and prevention.
00:57:47.000As the China virus mutates, science will have to adapt its prevention methods accordingly and precious metals will continue to stay in demand.
00:57:54.000As for me, I will continue to trust the team at Noble Gold, a leading authority in the precious metals industry.

00:58:18.000What a phenomenal speech that was by David Schoen.
00:58:27.000Actually, in our show flow today, kind of things that we were going to think about going through, one of the things I wanted to go through is how the Democrats tampered with evidence.
00:58:37.000And I was going through it with our team.
00:58:39.000I said, you do know that Eric Swalwell, who's a lover of Fang Feng, the Chinese Communist Party spy, he tampered with evidence.
00:58:48.000And David Schoen, to his great credit, came out and proved that point.
00:58:53.000That Eric Swalwell, and this is why this is not a trial.
00:58:58.000This is a Hollywood Broadway production.
00:59:53.000So Eric Swalwell reads Jennifer Lawrence's tweet, who says, Mr. President, the Calvary is coming.
01:00:01.000So Eric Swalwell then comes out and says, Well, on the House impeachment floor, you see here, President Trump, he was calling in for reinforcements, and the Calvary is coming.
01:00:14.000Now, to an untrained eye, you're like, Well, there might be something, you know, maybe there might be.
01:00:40.000Jennifer Lynn Lawrence, who's not verified on Twitter.
01:00:43.000So the House impeachment managers saw her tweet and they say, huh, if we added a blue check verification, it would add a lot of credibility to this.
01:00:55.000Now, there's no recourse for the Democrats lying under oath.
01:00:59.000There's no recourse for the Democrats tampering with evidence.
01:01:02.000But if this was a real court of law, you could get in serious, potentially criminal trouble for tampering with evidence in a court proceeding, in a prosecution.
01:01:13.000Then David Schoen went on to play one of the greatest supercuts I think ever compiled of every single Democrat senator.
01:01:20.000That's right, every single Democrat senator saying, We must fight.
01:01:26.000The very same thing that they're trying to impeach the president for.
01:01:30.000David Schoen made the brilliant move of not necessarily even having to defend the president, instead attacking the prosecution's case.
01:01:40.000David Schoen is a brilliant lawyer because he knows that before you even have to get to defend your client, if there's no case for the prosecution and you can add doubt to the jury, then the whole case will be dismissed.
01:03:01.000It goes to show in a real criminal proceeding, the prosecution, you know what they would do?
01:03:05.000They'd go through all of her other tweets.
01:03:08.000They'd look at it through a thousand different perspectives.
01:03:10.000They'd say, does this really mean what I think?
01:03:12.000It means then they have to submit the evidence.
01:03:14.000David Schoen, he almost made this point.
01:03:17.000It was so close, but he didn't make it.
01:03:19.000And I was a little, the only critique I have of him is the fact that President Trump and his team were not given the opportunity to look at this evidence is a direct violation of the Sixth Amendment.
01:03:31.000A part of the Sixth Amendment is called the confrontation clause.
01:03:35.000You have the right to be confronted with everything that you are being charged with, all the witnesses, all the evidence, and then your team has the opportunity to challenge it, to cross-examine it.
01:03:46.000The right to cross-examine witnesses and evidence in a criminal proceeding.
01:04:13.000You go to jail for three and a half years.
01:04:14.000That's obviously an exaggerated example, but it's not really.
01:04:16.000The point is that if you're not being able to be confronted with the evidence and cross-examine it and challenge it, then the prosecution can introduce any evidence at any time for any reason whatsoever to destroy your life.
01:04:29.000Did you understand how brilliant the founding fathers were?
01:04:31.000That if you do not have, they had the brilliance to know that if you are not confronted with what you're charged for, that's a violation of natural rights.
01:04:41.000You have the right to live free, and to take that freedom away, you must have the opportunity to know what you're being charged with.
01:04:49.000The House Democrats violated the Sixth Amendment.
01:04:52.000Not only is this impeachment unconstitutional because there's not a chief justice sitting behind them, it's unconstitutional because it's violated the fourth, probably the fourth amendment, definitely the Sixth Amendment.
01:05:02.000I want to get back into this idea of different states, different country, different direction.
01:05:08.000And we all do have to live under federal law in this country, but there's a huge distinction between states, and you're seeing that.
01:05:14.000The three hottest real estate markets in the country are Phoenix, Austin, and Tampa, the fourth being Nashville.
01:05:22.000Now, Phoenix would be the exception of this, but it's generally been governed by Republicans for quite some time.
01:05:27.000Texas has not had a Republican, Democrat governor in quite some time.
01:05:30.000Florida has not had a Democrat governor since the 90s.
01:05:33.000And Tennessee has not had a Democrat governor.
01:05:35.000You know what else those states have in common?
01:05:37.000And Arizona better get their income tax figured out.
01:05:39.000I'm telling you right now, for anyone watching this from Arizona or listening to this, if your legislatures do not fix this Prop 208 nonsense, a lot of people are going to leave Arizona and they're going to leave quickly.
01:05:51.000It's going to be harder and harder for people to want to go to Arizona.
01:05:57.000And I'm telling you, everyone listening to this in Arizona, you better go contact your legislators right now to tell them to go fix Prop 208.
01:06:10.000Elon Musk cut 95 on the Joe Rogan podcast on the massive move to Austin and how people shouldn't bring their politics that made them move in the first place.
01:06:30.000I think we need to make sure that Austin does not, you know, people moving from California don't inadvertently recreate the issues that they moved that caused them to move in the first place.
01:06:43.000Joe Rogan and Elon Musk are not necessarily political by any means.
01:06:48.000But Elon is saying very little I disagree with.
01:06:50.000And what Elon is saying logically is, now don't go vote for a bunch of high taxes, homeless nonsense, open drug usage, high property tax, public sector unions.
01:07:04.000And so, yes, Austin is going to become one of the largest boom towns we have ever seen.
01:08:28.000Republicans built these functioning states, and people are moving in dramatic and drastic numbers like we've never seen before.
01:08:38.000And it's going to be up to states like Florida, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas to be keeping the Biden administration accountable, to file lawsuits, to hold them legally accountable.
01:08:50.000And now we have a real grassroots movement to hold Gavin Newsom accountable.
01:08:56.000If you have not signed the Gavin Newsom recall pledge and you're in California, I encourage you to do that immediately.
01:10:20.000But Donald Trump knows very well the next Mulligan he gets is going to have to be on the golf course because they're waiting for him down in Fulton County, Georgia, as well as up in New York.
01:10:34.000I don't think he's going to escape this.
01:11:52.000And basically, the argument, as he was a Democrat activist media member, is that Trump made our lives exciting.
01:12:03.000We were in the opposition, but they knew they really weren't.
01:12:06.000So they were in this very unique position, a gift that will never be given to them again, where they could act all rebellious, but they were actually part of the predominant culture in the country.
01:12:15.000So they could act, yeah, we're part of good trouble.
01:12:18.000You control all the media, you control all the colleges, you control all the universities, you control the corporations, and yet they can still kind of feel as if they're mounting this revolutionary, rebellious style campaign.
01:12:33.000He then goes on to, he does say this, that it is now time to put pressure on the Biden administration.
01:12:44.000Now, that's probably the real reason he got attacked.
01:12:45.000He said, quote, some want journalists to give the new administration a break, to let Biden undo Trumpism before subjecting him to harsh scrutiny.
01:12:55.000If all those peons about speaking the truth to power and democracy dying in darkness were reserved for Trump alone, they were never really serious to begin with.
01:13:05.000The thrill may be gone, but the work begins.
01:13:12.000Democrats were made relevant because of Donald Trump.
01:13:15.000He made American politics exciting again.
01:13:19.000And so now a lot of these Democrats are looking for relevancy.
01:13:22.000This is their last gasp through this impeachment trial saying, can I still get on TV for attacking Trump?
01:13:31.000And they're going to continue to lose credibility.
01:13:34.000They're going to lose relevancy the more they do that.
01:13:42.000I want to get to a cut here from Newt Gingrich about how the Biden administration is committed to radically changing America, which is completely contrary to what the Biden ran on in the campaign.
01:14:27.000The Biden-Harris Democratic team are committed to radically changing America in every way they can.
01:14:37.000And what they don't realize is that they are rapidly building themselves for a disaster in 2022 and 2024 because they're drawing a very wide gap between themselves and the Republicans.
01:15:27.000David Schoen just took them to task for altering evidence, violating the Sixth Amendment, tampering with evidence, not allowing due process.
01:15:38.000And so now the Biden administration at some point is going to have to be held accountable.
01:15:44.000And the activist media is going to be up against a financial cliff soon.
01:15:54.000These media companies are going to run out of stuff to write.
01:15:59.000The New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, they've grown accustomed to having millions and millions of eyeballs of people that are dedicated daily to try to destroy Trump.
01:16:10.000Well, now that he's a private citizen, he'll be acquitted by the Senate.
01:16:14.000He'll still be criminally investigated by the Georgia phone call that they've already signaled that.
01:16:20.000He's going to be investigated probably by the Southern District of New York and the state of New York or the Manhattan DA.
01:16:26.000But those stories are not traveling as much as they used to.
01:16:30.000Now that Biden has been president for almost a month, the American people are saying, that's fine, but what are you doing to hold him accountable?
01:16:38.000Because my wages aren't going up, prices are going up, jobs are not as abundant as they used to be.
01:16:44.000I kind of miss the guy that used to tweet crazy things, but the economy was robust.
01:16:50.000Why aren't you holding him accountable?
01:16:52.000So I'm going to make a prediction for you.
01:16:54.000And this Alexander guy, I miss the thrill of Trump, Alexander Nazarian, I think actually gives a little bit of a preview.
01:17:04.000You're going to see some reporters and some members of the activist media.
01:17:08.000I'm talking about the real reporters, not the people on the propaganda networks.
01:17:13.000I'm talking about the people that do research.
01:17:15.000You're going to start to see them defect a little bit.
01:17:19.000You're going to start to see a couple people defect and investigate the Biden administration, submit FOIA requests, because they'll get clicks and they want to be famous.
01:17:35.000Now, that's not a good way to be loved in liberal circles, but there's so much corruption out there that is not being investigated.
01:17:44.000If the New Yorker or the New York Times or the Washington Post or any one of these outlets just focused 10% of the attention, just 1% of the attention they focused on Trump, they would uncover Pulitzer Prize-worthy stories.
01:18:00.000And we're already starting to see that because Tara Palmieri, who is a reporter for Politico, I think she's actually the chief White House reporter, began investigating a romantic relationship between a journalist and TJ Ducklow.
01:18:47.000And so TJ Ducklow, in one call, allegedly tried to turn the tables, accusing Palmary of breaking an off-the-record agreement by relaying Ducklow's misconduct to her editors.
01:19:01.000Paul Mary, who's a former New York Post reporter, I'm reading from the New York Post and co-author of Politico's popular playbook, was working on the story of Ducklow's then-secret romance with Axios reporter Alexi McCammond.
01:19:15.000A male journalist at Politico asked Ducklow for comment while Palmero reached out to McCammond.
01:19:23.000So basically, TJ Ducklow is dating Axios political reporter Alexi McCammond.
01:19:32.000It's something, but it's not groundbreaking.
01:19:35.000The reason the story is newsworthy is less about T.J. Ducklow and more about Alexi McClamond, where this is an example of literally the Biden administration being in bed with the media.
01:20:18.000Now, if she got reassigned to covering a Senate race, that's fine.
01:20:26.000And so the bigger point here, though, is that T.J. Ducklow threatened Tana Palmary, Tara Palmieri.
01:20:34.000And the other part of this is that the reporter who's being talked about, Alexi McCammond, there's an inherent conflict of interest here.
01:20:53.000And so Tara Palmary, who's doing her job, just asks the very simple and obvious question: are you going to disclose this conflict of interest to your readers?
01:21:04.000And it's turned into this entire, just very complicated saga where T.J. Ducklow basically goes to threaten her.
01:21:14.000TJ Ducklow says, quote, I will destroy you to Tara Palmieri, lashed out to one of the head reporters at Politico.
01:21:27.000He then claimed that Palmieri was jealous that a different man had wanted to F you and not you.
01:21:38.000So TJ Ducklow has now been put on a one-week unpaid leave.
01:21:43.000But I hope that Tara Palmieri remembers this.
01:21:46.000I hope that the Politico staff says, okay, you're going to bully around our reporters.
01:21:51.000You're going to put a one-week leave-on.
01:21:53.000We're not your communication arms here at Politico.
01:22:28.000If you're ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot.
01:23:23.000They're not getting into any of the specifics.
01:23:26.000I would like to see if they'd get a little bit more into the narrative of what actually happened at the Capitol, but that remains to be seen.
01:23:48.000So I encourage you to go to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast right now, type in Charlie Kirk Show, maybe on Apple Podcast or on Spotify, and hit subscribe.
01:24:15.000She says that none of the founding fathers were Christians, saying that they were deists, which believe in a God, not the God of the Bible.
01:24:20.000It said that John Adams was quoted saying, quote, America was in no way founded on Christian beliefs.
01:24:27.000America was founded on activist pastors.
01:24:30.000First and foremost, look at the Black Robe Regiment.
01:24:32.000I'm going to give you four or five facts that will dispute this, that America was founded on Christian beliefs.
01:24:36.000Number one, just look up the Black Robe Regiment, activist pastors that laid the foundation for America's founding.
01:24:42.000Number two, I'll get the final number, but I believe it was 85% of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were regular church attending Christians.
01:24:49.000Number three, Thomas Jefferson was called a deist by many historians, but he considered the Bible to be the most exceptional, incredible document ever written.
01:24:57.000After traveling the world and reading all the greats and all the classics, they were inspired by the Bible.
01:25:02.000Number four, God is mentioned four times in the Declaration of Independence.
01:25:07.000God the Creator, God the Lawgiver, God the Law Interpreter, and then finally, God the Law Administer.
01:25:13.000It's basically getting the pretext to the United States Constitution.
01:25:16.000It says clearly in the Declaration, the laws of nature and nature is God.
01:25:20.000Another thing that people that make this argument with is totally untrue, is they do not look at William Blackstone.
01:25:28.000William Blackstone was a devout Christian, and he, more than almost anyone else, inspired the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Amendment, and the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, talking about how God, Lord, inspired the United States, inspired common law and the protection for natural law and natural rights.
01:25:49.000You cannot get to the American founding without going through William Blackstone.
01:26:13.000Of the 56 men who signed the Declaration, the great majority, perhaps all, identified as Christians, and all but one were Protestants.
01:26:20.000Four were either present or former ministers, and the number of signers were sons of clergy.
01:26:26.000And at least half of them had studied divinity at various universities.
01:26:30.000And then there's denomination breakdowns.
01:26:31.000It is a lie that is being pushed by the university to say that America was not founded on Christian values.
01:26:39.000John Locke himself, who is one of the major philosophical, one of the major philosophical influences, that's the word I was looking for, influences on the American founding, said himself that you cannot get around the God question.
01:26:59.000The Scottish Enlightenment, Scottish Presbyterianism influenced the founding of our country more than almost anything else.
01:27:06.000You'd have to get through John Edwards.
01:27:08.000You'd have to get through the activist pastors to make that argument, and they can't do that.
