00:00:34.000I read a Twitter feed that I think is one of the wisest and best descriptions of what is happening right now in America.
00:00:40.000Also, Pablo Picasso, otherwise known as Hunter Biden, is selling art for $500,000 a pop and so much more.

00:02:58.000I was on Tucker Carlson on Wednesday evening.
00:03:01.000Producer Andrew covered that and we were talking about this idea of mandatory vaccines on college campuses.
00:03:07.000And earlier in the week, Tucker Carlson called for something that is so obvious and has been So needed for years.
00:03:16.000I mentioned this a couple years ago, which is why don't we have cameras in classrooms?
00:03:22.000Why is it that parents are forced to pay tens of thousands of dollars, sometimes even more than that, in property taxes to fund government schools?
00:03:31.000And yet, teachers have complete and total secrecy in what they teach and how they teach their children.
00:03:39.000We were just having a breakfast here right before the show, and a very good point was made that one of the best takeaways from the lockdowns was the fact that when some of these students would open up their laptops to go to class in the last year, parents were doing some work maybe in the other room, and they started to hear the garbage that these teachers were teaching their children.
00:04:01.000This is one of the main reasons why we've seen this school board revolution happen all across the country where parents are saying, I might not know exactly what to say or how to say it, but I'm going to show up and let my presence be known.
00:04:13.000Now, this is a very obvious point that if parents are employing the teachers, if parents, the taxpayers, are paying for all the infrastructure and all the overhead of a school district, they have a moral right as the funder of the enterprise to know what exactly is happening in the classroom.
00:04:40.000And so Tucker Carlson brought this point up on his show a couple of days ago.
00:04:44.000I want to play that tape, but then it got me thinking on how we live in a surveillance state for a couple very select parts of our society, things that the left and the Democrats and the collectivists want, but the things that actually need oversight, we're not allowed to have cameras.
00:05:05.000Let's just play a little tape from Tucker Carlson, who makes the argument perfectly.
00:05:11.000Until we finally get cameras in the classroom as we put them on the chests of police officers, until we finally get a civilian review board in every town in America to oversee the people teaching your children, forming their minds.
00:05:24.000And let's hope we get both of those very soon.
00:05:26.000But until we do, we can't know exactly how widespread this is.
00:05:30.000I think it was Matt Walsh who came on Tucker's program the day after, and he made a great point where he said that if you drop your dog off at a dog sitting service, most owners demand access to the live feed so they can see how their dog is being treated all day long.
00:05:52.000Almost every single doggy daycare service in the country now offers 24-7 live feed type service so you can see whether or not your dog is being treated perfectly or correctly.
00:06:04.000But when you drop your child off at school, which is obviously more important than your pet, you're not allowed to know anything that happens in the classroom.
00:06:14.000Ironically, the left is not against cameras, though.
00:06:18.000The left has now succeeded, and I think this is generally a good thing, actually, in putting body cameras on every single police officer across the country.
00:06:28.000I think more transparency with police officers is perfectly fine.
00:06:31.000In fact, I think the body cameras on police officers actually help police officers with some of these anti-police movements that have happened in the last year.
00:06:40.000They seem perfectly fine with using surveillance to illegally wiretap and monitor Tucker Carlson's emails and then leak those emails to journalists.
00:06:51.000You see, the left, they want a surveillance state unless it oversees or it checks and balances things that are fundamental to our republic.
00:07:01.000For example, they don't want cameras for classrooms or for teachers.
00:07:06.000They do not want cameras on the southern border, which, by the way, if we made a decision, if our leaders actually took the southern border seriously, we could deploy hundreds of drones on the southern border, non-armed drones, and we would know every single person passing through the southern border.
00:07:28.000The thing that does not exist is the will of the leaders to actually deploy that sort of technology.
00:07:35.000How about cameras in vote counting rooms?
00:07:38.000Why don't we have cameras overseeing every single person that counts every vote in Michigan, in Pennsylvania, not some sort of very fuzzy webcam that might be in the corner?
00:07:50.000You see, philosophically, the left is not against oversight.
00:07:54.000They only want oversight of things they're trying to destroy.
00:08:56.000Happens bit by bit, quietly and subtly, and you will barely notice it.
00:09:04.000We'll corrupt your children bit by bit, and you will barely notice it.
00:09:08.000The gay men's chorus in San Francisco.
00:09:12.000So, parents are all of a sudden saying, Enough.
00:09:15.000If I'm going to be paying taxes in a local school district, I deserve oversight and I deserve the ability to check and balance what is happening in the schools in my local area.
00:09:26.000The teacher unions are saying that this is Orwellian, that this is an overreach and will intimidate teachers.
00:09:33.000Well, if these teachers are so gifted, if these teachers are so amazing at instructing your children, wouldn't they want the cameras?
00:09:42.000Wouldn't they want to show the world how incredible they are at being able to teach science or math?
00:09:50.000These teachers and the teacher unions have it completely backwards.
00:09:55.000They only are able to have a job because of the taxes that are levied and the people that go to work every single day and put money into the government school system.
00:10:07.000For everyone listening right now, you're saying, Charlie, what can I do?
00:11:20.000A new app called Thinker, you guys have heard me talk about it, thinker.org/Charlie, T-H-I-N-K-R, has solved that problem by summarizing the key ideas from new and noteworthy fiction, giving you access to an entire library of great books in bite-sized form.
00:11:32.000Reader listened to hundreds of titles in a matter of minutes, including old classics like Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People.
00:11:38.000If you want to challenge your preconceptions, expand your horizons of what?
00:11:45.000That's T-H-I-N-K-R.org/slash Charlie to start an extended free trial and put your mind in motion.
00:11:55.000So, the Democrats were up against a little bit of a tough situation here, or the Biden family.
00:12:00.000They knew it'd be a bad look if people directly gave Hunter Biden money because, of course, he's a conduit for the big man.
00:12:07.000Remember, we learned that with Tony Bob Yelensky, who got no coverage at all whatsoever, and Hunter Biden's laptop, which, by the way, according to new reports, we're waiting to verify this.
00:12:17.000I believe Chuck Grassley is now in possession of Hunter Biden's laptop.
00:12:51.000Okay, we have a system in America that if you are a Republican or a Trump supporter, they will indict you and they will investigate your family and they'll try to destroy your life.
00:13:01.000If you're a Democrat, you're able to compete at the highest levels of art.
00:13:09.000So, I had a dinner last night with some of my family, and we were talking about art, which is not exactly a passion topic of mine.
00:13:45.000So, this, I was talking to my family last night, and I said, Oh, yeah, well, what do you think about Hunter Biden with all the art deals he's been doing?
00:13:54.000Of course, this is the communication channels that we exist in, which is that if you don't listen to the Charlie Kirk show or you don't listen to Tucker, or you're not listening to certain podcasts, you don't hear about any of this, right?
00:14:05.000It's almost none of this gets into the New York Times or the NPR.
00:15:28.000The Daily Mail, of course, is the only people that have decided to cover this.
00:15:32.000Hunter Biden was probably on some form of psychedelics, or he's just not a very good artist, which is probably true because this is what I would do if I tried to paint.
00:15:41.000Just kind of random colors that nothing makes any sense.
00:15:44.000But of course, the people that are buying the art from Hunter Biden, I'm sure they're going for the art, right?
00:15:49.000So this is some sort of brilliant money laundering scheme.
00:15:52.000You can't give Hunter Biden money directly.
00:16:44.000He'll get away with it because the state-owned press and the decline of journalism has no interest in covering it.
00:16:51.000With the ever-increasing numbers of makes and models, it is now impossible to stock all the parts you need on a traditional chain storefront.
00:16:58.000Why endure often pointless or seemingly intimidating questions and wait while the counterman orders the parts in your computer, snickering and mocking you, knowing that you are the latest overpriced victim when you actually have the access that he has at rockauto.com.
00:17:15.000You guys know the jingle, all the parts you ever need, rockauto.com.
00:17:19.000One reason to repair and maintain your cars is to save money.
00:18:36.000It's an anonymous Twitter account, which, by the way, there's more wisdom in what I'm about to read than anything I've ever heard on NPR, CNN, or MSNBC.
00:18:44.000Quote, I think I've had enough discussions with Trump supporters who believe the 2020 election was fraudulent to extract a general theory about their perspective.
00:18:55.000It is also the perspective of most of the people at the Capitol on January the 6th and probably even Trump himself.
00:19:01.000Most believe some are all the theories involving midnight ballots, voting machines, etc.
00:19:05.000But when you talk to them and find out the specifics, they'll defend some of those positions for information they got from Hannity or Breitbart or whatever, but they're not particularly attached to them.
00:19:17.000The real facts, the actual confirmed facts that shape their perspective are number one, the FBI, etc., spied on the 2016 Trump campaign using evidence manufactured by the Clinton campaign.
00:19:28.000We know that all involved knew this was fake from day one.
00:20:17.000In the end, we all knew that it was all fake.
00:20:20.000At first, many Trump people were worried that there must be some Russian collusion because every media and intelligence agency, they wouldn't make it up for nothing.
00:20:31.000Just as a sidebar, I know the people in my life kept saying that.
00:20:33.000Well, they wouldn't just be making this up.
00:20:35.000But then it became more clear that they had made it up.
00:20:39.000People expected a reckoning and shed many illusions about their government when it didn't happen.
00:20:46.000Number one, the Steele dossier was the sole evidence used to justify spying on the Trump campaign.
00:20:52.000Number two, the FBI knew that the Steele dossier was a DNC op.
00:20:56.000Number three, Steele sources told the FBI the info was unserious.
00:21:02.000And then finally, they did not inform the court illegally of any of this and kept spying on the Trump campaign.
00:21:09.000Trump supporters know the collusion case front and back.
00:21:12.000They went from worrying the collusion must be real to suspecting that it might be fake to realizing that it was a scam, then watched as every institution, our CIA, our intel agencies, the press, Congress, academia, colleges, all gaslit them for another year.
00:21:29.000Even worse, collusion was used to scare people away from working in the Trump administration.
00:21:35.000They knew their entire lives would be investigated.
00:21:37.000Many quit because they knew being bankrupted by legal fees.
00:21:40.000The Department of Justice, the press, and our government literally destroyed lives and actively subverted an elected president.
00:21:49.000This is where people whose political identity was largely defined by naive belief, what they learned in civics class, began to see the outline of a regime that crossed all institutional boundaries because it had stepped out of the shadows to unite against an interloper.
00:22:04.000Republican propaganda still has many of them thinking in terms of partisan binaries, but a lot of Trump supporters see that the regime is not partisan.
00:22:15.000They know that the same institutions would have taken opposite sides if it was Tulsi Gabbard versus a Jeb Bush election.
00:22:22.000It's hard to describe to people on the left who are used to thinking of government as a conspiracy, Watergate, Cointel Pro, weapons of mass destruction, et cetera, how shocking and disillusioning this was for people who encourage their sons to enlist in the army and hate people who don't stand for the anthem.
00:22:39.000Trump supporters could have managed the shock if it only involved the government.
00:22:44.000But the behavior of the corporate press is really what radicalized them.
00:22:49.000They hate journalists more than they hate any politician or government official because they feel most betrayed by them.
00:22:56.000The idea that the press is driven by ratings and sensationalism became quickly untenable.
00:23:01.000If that were true, they'd be all over the Jeffrey Epstein story.
00:23:05.000The corporate press is the propaganda arm of the regime they see in the outline.
00:23:10.000Nothing anyone says will ever make them unsee that, period.
00:23:14.000This is profoundly disorienting to most people.
00:23:17.000Many of them don't know for certain whether ballots were faked in November 2020, but they know for absolute certain that the press, the FBI, would lie to them if it was.
00:23:27.000They have every reason to believe that it's probably true.
00:23:32.000They watched the press behave like animals for four years.
00:23:35.000Tens of millions of people always see Kavanaugh as a gang rapist based on nothing because of CNN.
00:23:59.000It's a different thing to watch them invent stories out of whole cloth in order to destroy regular lives and spark mass violence and murder.
00:24:05.000Time magazine told us that during the 2020 riots, there were weekly conference calls involving, among others, leaders of protests, local officials who refused to stop them, and the media who framed them for political effect.
00:24:17.000In Ukraine, we call that a color revolution.
00:24:20.000Throughout the summer, Democrat governors took advantage of the Chinese coronavirus to change voting procedures.
00:24:28.000They lowered the signature matching standards, et cetera.
00:24:31.000After the collusion scam, the fake impeachment, Trump people expected shenanigans by now.
00:24:36.000And then the fake impeachment came again.
00:24:38.000We now know that Trump's request for Ukraine to cooperate with the Department of Justice regarding Biden's money activities in Ukraine was in support of an active investigation being pursued by the FBI and the Attorney General of Ukraine.
00:24:50.000And so a completely legitimate request.
00:24:52.000And then you get the Hunter Biden scandal.
00:24:54.000Big tech ran a full-on censorship campaign against a major newspaper to protect a political candidate, period.
00:24:59.000Everyone knows it, and all the tech companies now admit it was a mistake.
00:25:03.000But you know, the election's over, so who cares?
00:25:05.000Goes without saying, if the New York Times had come across Donald Trump Jr.'s laptop full of pictures of him smoking crack and engaging in groups of engaging in group sex and child, allegedly child sex propaganda, lots of lurid family drama, emails describing direct corruption and backed up by the CEO of a company they were using, the New York Times probably wouldn't have been banned by the tech companies.
00:25:50.000Now they see correctly that every institution is captured by people who would use any means to exclude them from the political process.
00:25:58.000And yet they showed up in record numbers to vote.
00:26:00.000Trump got 13 million more votes than he did in 2016 and 10 million more than Clinton got.
00:26:06.000As election night dragged on, they allowed themselves some hope.
00:26:10.000For a couple hours, Trump supporters thought Trump was going to get four more years.
00:26:14.000But when the four critical swing states and some of those others went dark at midnight, they knew it was happening again.
00:26:21.000Over the ensuing weeks, they got shuffled around by grifters and media scam artists selling them conspiracy theories.
00:26:27.000They latched onto one and then ever increasingly absurd theory, they tried to be a concrete name on something very real.
00:26:33.000Media and tech did everything to make it worse.
00:26:36.000Everything about the election was strange to change the procedures, unprecedented mail and voting, the delays, the changing of voting locations.
00:26:44.000But rather than admit it and make everything transparent, they banned the discussion of it, even in direct messages on social media.
00:26:51.000Everyone knows that just as Donald Trump Jr.'s laptop would have been the story of the century.
00:26:55.000If everything about the election dispute was the same, except the parties were reversed, suspicions about the outcome would have been taken very seriously.
00:27:04.000Even the court's refusal of the case gets nowhere with them because of how the opposition embraced mass violence.
00:27:10.000They'll say with good reason, what judge will stick his neck out for Trump, knowing he'll be destroyed in the media as a violent mob burns down his house.
00:27:34.000It's a fact that governors use the Chinese coronavirus to unconstitutionally alter the election procedures to help Biden make up for a massive enthusiasm gap by gaming the mail-in-vote system.
00:28:07.000Number two, the press is part of the operation.
00:28:10.000Number three, election rules were changed.
00:28:12.000Number four, big tech censors the opposition.
00:28:14.000Number five, political violence is legitimized and encouraged.
00:28:17.000And number six, Trump is banned from social media.
00:28:20.000Many Trump supporters were led down rabbit holes, but they're absolutely right that their government is monopolized by a capital R regime that believes they are beneath representation and will observe no limits to keep them getting it.
00:29:06.000And then we're supposed to be surprised when 75 million people feel disenfranchised and they feel as if no matter how hard they work, no matter how much money they give to Trump, no matter how many doors they knock on, no matter how many meetings they show up to, they feel as if the game is rigged against them.
00:29:29.000We have an example of these intel agencies spying on an American journalist, Tucker Carlson, and now they're kind of in a little bit of a freakout mode.
00:29:39.000So Tucker Carlson was trying to get an interview with Vladimir Putin, which of course then triggers the other side to call him a Russian agent.
00:29:45.000NBC News just recently interviewed Vladimir Putin.
00:29:50.000Interviewing foreign heads of state is a normal practice for an American journalist.
00:29:54.000It doesn't make anyone anything but an interested truth seeker who has a platform.
00:29:59.000So Tucker Carlson was trying to secure this interview, and then the NSA gets those emails and illegally leaks them to journalists to blackmail Tucker Carlson and try to take his show off the air.
00:30:09.000So then Tucker was presented with this evidence and he had a decision to make.
00:30:13.000What is the right thing to do when you know your government is coming after you?
00:30:17.000Well, number one, you have to get your facts right.
00:30:19.000Number two, you have to be disciplined.
00:30:24.000This is the one thing that I think that President Trump, when he found out that he was being spied on, he needed to be within a tight framework of what he talked about and how he talked about it.
00:30:34.000Because you remember, this sparked huge outrage in late December and early January when he found out he was being spied on.
00:30:40.000But then Tucker also put the NSA on defense.
00:30:43.000He's now got a coalition of lawmakers, oversight capacity, and the NSA is freaking out because they know they broke the law.
00:30:50.000Let's play Cut 51, Tucker Carlson, on Tuesday, how the NSA had leaked his emails illegally to a D.C. reporter.
00:30:58.000The NSA has broke the law, and Tucker Carlson can prove it.
00:31:03.000Yesterday, we learned that sources in the so-called intelligence community told at least one reporter in Washington what was in those emails, my emails.
00:31:12.000There was nothing scandalous in there, thank God.
00:31:57.000He decided to use his successful cable television program to play offense against the people that were spying on his communications.
00:32:04.000And instead of trying to sue for peace privately, like the Department of Justice did under Trump, where you just try to wait very patiently, Tucker went all out public against the intel agencies.
00:32:37.000Well, the point, of course, was to paint me as a disloyal American, a Russian operative, been called that before, a stooge of the Kremlin, a traitor doing the bidding of a foreign adversary.
00:32:47.000The NSA is not in a good place right now because Tucker has now built a broad-based coalition of Republicans who, God willing, will take back the House of Representatives.
00:32:57.000And the NSA is now going to have to be called under subpoena power of Congress for legitimate oversight.
00:33:02.000There is more support now for a church and pike committee to oversee the intel agencies than ever before.
00:33:08.000But Tucker very well could have done what Republicans do the best, nothing and hope that it goes away.
00:33:21.000It could have, let's just say it could have been a lot of different levels of treachery could have been involved.
00:33:26.000And that is the only thing we could do right now is we must be disciplined and we must play offense in points of vulnerability against the bad guys that wish to restrict our freedoms and our liberties.
00:33:39.000The same thing for every single level of power that we have, that we're experiencing right now on the school board level and the local level, that when we speak clearly and we get our words right and we're filled with courage like Tucker was, who basically said, I'm going to risk my entire career against the most powerful government on the planet.
