00:00:00.000Hey everybody, Tan the Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:01.000Dave Bratt joins us to unpack what's going on in the economy and Brandon Tatum about the great new movie Uncle Tom 2, as well as the history of segregation.

00:01:04.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:46.000Yeah, Uncle Tom 2, I think, is a tremendous film that tells the true history of Americans of African descent.
00:02:53.000And it digs into the nuances of how Marxist individuals in our country, namely the leaders of BLM, are literally taking the black community down the drain and having this anti-American theology that's causing individuals who are black in this country to hate America, to feel like a perpetual victim.
00:03:16.000And those things are detriments, and we have to change those.
00:03:21.000And Uncle Tom 2 kind of expressed the avenue in which we can go about changing some of the things that are going on in our country and really espousing success and victor or success and allowing us to be victors moving forward.
00:03:37.000I mean, there is, I think, this massive gap of history that people miss.
00:03:41.000Part of the trailer is that black America was not being treated correctly from a public policy standpoint.
00:03:46.000Obviously, segregated bathrooms, Jim Crow.
00:03:50.000But despite that, there was a flourishing that was happening in black America, or at least a trajectory of flourishing, right?
00:03:57.000That if it was allowed to play out, according to Thomas Sowell, by the 60s, 70s, or 80s, black America very well might have been wealthier per capita than white America.
00:04:07.000Well, I want to go back to the history.
00:04:09.000You know, in the 20s and 30s, we saw an explosion of innovation, explosion of inventions and ownership by black Americans that we don't even see today.
00:04:21.000I mean, you're talking about Booker T. Washington with Tuskegee Institute.
00:04:25.000You're talking about Black Wall Street in the 20s, also Black Harlem.
00:04:30.000And, you know, one interesting thing that you'll see in the film is that when they were boycotting the buses and they wanted the black people to ride in the front of the buses, black people owned their own bus line.
00:04:40.000It was absolutely not necessary to go that far when we could have just been building on our own platform that we had.
00:04:48.000So we noticed that the invent or the advent of Marxism and this social ideology pushed us more towards the government and away from God and away from the family.
00:05:00.000And you can look at the statistical data.
00:05:02.000You see that there's less young people being born into married families and more being born out of wedlock than we saw even in the 30s.
00:05:10.000When you look at the government assistance programs and the victimhood that's being expressed by these fake black leaders, we see more of it now than we've ever seen in the history of black people post-slavery.
00:05:22.000And I think the movie does a really good job at expressing those things.
00:05:26.000And I really wish people would wake up to the fact that there's a Marxist strategy and the dependence on the government has really hurt and in some cases destroyed black culture in the black America in this country.
00:05:37.000So I want to be careful the way I ask this question, but there's this argument out there, which is, okay, 1940s, 1950s, black America was segregated.
00:07:17.000And so we see that, you know, the civil rights movement may not have, may have had unintended consequences that have left black America, you know, somewhat desolate in certain aspects.
00:08:46.000And desegregation was forced by the government, not the will of the people.
00:08:50.000I believe that the government would have gotten out of the conversation.
00:08:52.000I think we would have seen a lot more of a natural and a cohesive integration into society amongst both sides.
00:09:00.000Because when you talk to people who lived during that time period, it wasn't as crazy as people may imagine.
00:09:06.000Black people were living and thriving in their own communities, and white people were living and thriving in their own communities.
00:09:12.000However, there was not much conflict because people stayed to themselves.
00:09:16.000I think in a natural sense, because of human nature, we would have come together in a more genuine way than for the government to then force people to have to accept or adopt certain principles that they may not have been ready for.
00:09:29.000I mean, the government is literally with BLM as their military arm, they're trying to force a society into re-segregating.
00:09:41.000I mean, just leave us, just stay out of our business, leave us to the love and appreciation that we have for one another and quit trying to go so woke.
00:10:21.000And it's very important when you look back on that period of time.
00:10:24.000There was a massive amount of government intervention that very well might have been seeded with good intentions, but the results is not so good.
00:10:33.000Broke apart the black family, broke apart the black church, really, in some ways, misrepresented some parts of the country with race relations.
00:11:06.000The black conservative movement is in a much healthier and stronger position thanks to your leadership, Brandon and Candace, and the work you guys are doing across the board, truly.
00:11:15.000Because it was always kind of, you know, there were some black conservative voices, amazing people, Thomas Sowell, all that.
00:11:20.000But now it's really moving and it's growing.
00:11:22.000Democrat Party takes the black community for granted.
00:11:25.000BLM was mobilized in great numbers in 2020 via white guilt and other ways.
00:11:31.000But Brandon, do you find it interesting about how out of all the national conversations right now, race is not a primary conversation heading into the midterms?
00:11:40.000Well, I think that, you know, we got to look at the midterms as a political strategy on both sides, right?
00:11:46.000I don't think that a lot of these politicians are genuine in their approach.
00:11:49.000I don't think they really have a vested interest in fixing any issues.
00:11:53.000What they want to do is promote an issue that gets people riled up, to get their emotions running, to get them in a level of or in a position of fear, and then they can run and campaign on that.
00:12:03.000If you look at the Democrat Party and the black community, the reason why they've been having the black community in a stronghold or in a chokehold, I'd say, is because all they do is pitch promises every single year.
00:14:04.000You just need people to come out and preach the gospel to them, and you will see a conversion like never before.
00:14:08.000In closing here, Brandon, can you comment on how the black community is not okay with this trans stuff about how that's actually an opening to win over black voters?
00:14:17.000Black voters are actually more socially conservative, and yet they're basically being controlled by white liberals.
00:14:27.000And it's because they're being controlled by people who are acting as proxy for the black community that do not represent the black community.
00:14:34.000It's the white liberal and these fake black leaders that are destroying the community.
00:14:38.000They're not representing what majority of black people feel and think.
00:14:41.000I don't know of a black person that's a part of the LGBTQ push.
00:14:56.000However, when I was growing up, this is unacceptable.
00:14:59.000You know, most black people were in the church, believing in God, traditional values, all of those things are historically what black people represent.
00:15:25.000It might work in Malibu, might work at Harvard.
00:15:28.000But if Republicans are serious, in my opinion, and Brandon, you just said it, if they're serious about winning back black voters, you got to get very clear about your social conservative values.
00:15:38.000They're very socially conservative, fiscally, probably moderate, pro-small business, all that, doesn't matter.
00:15:43.000The social issues you can win over very quickly.
00:15:45.000They think it's insane, rightfully so, that their kid is going to be taught that men can become pregnant.
00:17:08.000With iTarget Pro, you get to use your gun.
00:17:11.000You put in the laser bullet and you could fire unlimited, and then it tracks your accuracy.
00:17:16.000And for example, maybe your wife just wants to get used to holding the gun, what it might be like if there was an intruder.
00:17:21.000Well, then you could set up a bunch of these eye targets throughout the house, the kitchen, the yard, and she's able to then practice that actual bullets and any sort of ammunition being discharged free of charge.
00:17:33.000And then you get a full report of how accurate she was.
00:17:37.000There's, and if someone's like not comfortable with a gun, if they're uncomfortable with kind of how they are, you know, using it, how a gun feels, it's a great way to ease someone in to firearm use and ownership.
00:19:18.000The economy is a corpse laying on the table, and we've been shoving blood through it in the form of fiscal stimulus, spending through the federal government, and $9 trillion on the Federal Reserve balance sheet.
00:19:33.000So $31 trillion in debt on the federal government side, $9 trillion to keep it alive, and it's still in a recession for the last six months, growing at zero.
00:19:41.000So the economy is a one or a two, and then the markets follow, right?
00:19:46.000So earnings are going to go down, profits are going to go down.
00:19:51.000The Fed has said we're going to force a recession to get the wage price spiral down, right?
00:19:56.000Inflation is bad enough, but if inflation makes its way into the wage rates, that becomes what they call in economics is sticky, sticky prices, which stay around for years.
00:20:19.000And so the markets are obviously just one indicator, but usually is propped up by cheap money being infused.
00:20:26.000And so the argument they will make, we can go through metric by metric, is that, well, the labor market is very strong because unemployment is very low.
00:20:33.000My response is, well, it's low for now.
00:20:37.000I think that we're about to see a mass layoff after end of year sugar high.
00:20:42.000I think January, February, March, we're going to see unemployment get to 5% or 6%.
00:22:05.000I wrote a book about it, but I mean, I know a little bit about monetary theory.
00:22:08.000I read my Mises and I've read my Rothbard and I've read my Hayek and I've read my Keynes.
00:22:13.000So I know enough to be dangerous, but I wasn't totally familiar with modern monetary theory, which I've said this publicly and the media loses it.
00:22:22.000Modern monetary theory is the transgenderism of economics.
00:23:34.000They're awful on immigration and drugs.
00:23:35.000They're on totally other issues, but on money, boom.
00:23:41.000And so go read this short little piece, but I'll just read you the first little blip here.
00:23:45.000Post-provocative claim, but the theory is that government deficits don't matter.
00:23:50.000The core tenets of modern monetary theory and the closest it gets to a theory are that the economy and inflation should be managed through fiscal policy, the federal government.
00:24:02.000So you got the Fed separated, right, by Congress, by law to be independent monetary authority, and that's become political.
00:24:09.000So the real, and you say they just make stuff up, but the Marxists are smart in the way they make things up.
00:24:15.000They make everything they make up is managed through the federal government.
00:24:19.000So that's the buried lead in modern monetary theory.
00:24:24.000They want the federal government to print money forever to fund government spending.
00:24:31.000The reason the Fed is really jacking up interest rates and slowing things down is because it just occurred to them that if interest rates go up significantly, the amount of interest they have to pay on the debt on $31 trillion is going to reduce the size of the federal government.
00:24:47.000It's going to compete with federal spending.
00:24:49.000And so they may not even be doing this for the right reasons.
00:24:53.000And this has some experts in financial markets talking about a sovereign debt crisis.
00:26:02.000I mean, just in the two minutes we have remaining in this segment, how do we disentangle ourselves from this?
00:26:07.000It's my opinion, we take the cough syrup now, hijack rates, put ourselves in a near depression.
00:26:12.000It's actually the right thing to do for the next nine months.
00:26:15.000People don't like hearing that, but it's the only way out of this because otherwise we could see a collapse, the likes of which would make the Weimar Republic look like child's play.
00:26:24.000I mean, short term, you got to get rid of inflation.
00:26:26.000And then like Reagan did, right, Volcker came in, slammed on the brakes, and then Reagan went to the supply side of the economy like Peter Navarro was doing in the White House.
00:26:37.000And, you know, shrieks of terror greeted him.
00:26:40.000But he did yeoman's work getting the ball starting to roll.
00:26:53.000Get out of federal health care, get out of federal energy policy, and let markets return to work.
00:26:58.000It's a dream right now, but America's waking up spiritually and on the first principles with the Constitution, thanks to leaders like you getting it out in the mainstream and getting the young people engaged.
00:28:06.000Strive mandates U.S. energy companies to drill more, to frack more, and to do whatever allows them to be most profitable over the long run.
00:28:13.000The bigger they get, the more powerful their voice will be.

00:29:20.000And I think the examples you've given show beyond any doubt, right?
00:29:25.000When you got drag queens being promoted in K-12 education, and the whole population is not scratching their head saying, what is going on here?
00:29:34.000I mean, it's a frog into boiling water.
00:29:38.000And on top of that, just the economic facts, past 40, 50 years, real GDP has fallen steadily, right?
00:29:45.000I mentioned Reagan in the great supply side recovery he managed.
00:29:50.000But real GDP per capita, the measure of human welfare, has fallen straight for 50 years.
00:29:56.000The real interest rate has been orchestrated in a downward direction by the Fed for 40 years, resulting in 0% federal funds rate for the last 10 years.
00:30:06.000That created the 07-08 financial crisis and the everything bubble.
00:30:11.000And the worst of it all, Robert Nelson at Northwestern University is the guru on productivity growth and productivity, which is the most important metric in the economy.
00:30:23.000It's what you make per hour, the amount of stuff.
00:30:26.000It's been straight down for 40 years in the U.S., Europe, everywhere.
00:30:29.000So that it cannot be by accident, right?
00:30:35.000The American people left to their own are geniuses with energy and faith in God.
00:30:40.000And so it's been a coordinated, centralized attack with the growth of the federal government and now the Federal Reserve and Klaus Schwab coming out of Europe.
00:30:49.000If Republicans take back the House you served in Congress, what can they possibly do to slow this down with a divided government?
00:30:58.000Oh boy, they put out their report today based on that report, man.
00:31:04.000We better get praying even harder because they're not looking too aggressive.
00:31:08.000And so it's not really politics anymore.
00:31:12.000What we got to hope for is the American people rally, right?
00:31:16.000Republicans, Independents, even Democrats are forming this new coalition of the middle class versus the unit party.
00:31:24.000And so, you know, hopefully the Republican Party will demand, you know, two or three, you know, put an end to the 87,000 new IRS agents that have been hired, put a limit on the debt ceiling, a limit on the growth of the federal government.
00:31:41.000You know, pick three or four things and say, look, we're not, we're negotiating.
00:31:44.000We're going to shut down the government forever unless you agree to go with these three or four things that are existential, right?
00:31:51.000The 5 million people coming across the border, the endless war that we're financing.
00:31:57.000Just turns out today we had $50 billion in missing COVID funding.
00:32:04.000And so on top of that abuse, we got 87,000 IRS agents coming to punish you, the people who set alarm clocks and work for a living and do all the right things.
00:32:14.000And so this is not sustainable, Jordan.
