00:01:03.000 College Scam Book Launch Week, college scam.com.

00:01:08.000 All proceeds of the college scam go to Turning Point USA.

00:01:14.000 So I want to just kind of get to some questions here really quick.

00:01:17.000 Hello, Charlie.

00:01:18.000 While I agree that college is indoctrinating students and it's very costly, do you give people viable alternatives?

00:01:22.000 My son is 19 in community college right now.

00:01:24.000 Although he's gifted intellectually, he's not together enough to make things happen without a paper degree.

00:01:29.000 He's so scattered with so many ideas, he can't complete anything.

00:01:32.000 What alternatives do you suggest for students who don't get a degree?

00:01:34.000 Love the work you're doing.

00:01:36.000 So this might sound harsh, but you must release your son into the wild and have him figure it out.

00:01:44.000 It's that simple.

00:01:46.000 Pressure creates men.

00:01:49.000 I would say you got to go start paying for your rent.

00:01:51.000 Go get a job.

00:01:52.000 Figure it out.

00:01:53.000 So there's a very fascinating chart here that I believe is one of the reasons why America is becoming significantly less free.

00:02:00.000 Modern families and how households have changed since the 1970s.

00:02:03.000 So for example, I'll narrate this and then we'll put it up on screen.

00:02:08.000 The percentage of 25 to 34 year olds living with a spouse in the United States in the 1970s, 82% of 25 to 34-year-olds were living with a spouse.

00:02:17.000 Now it's 38%.

00:02:20.000 That's right.

00:02:21.000 Not only have marriage rates gone down since 1970, but a dramatic decline, a 44% decline of who young people are living with.

00:02:31.000 It's going to be put up on screen.

00:02:32.000 The percentage of 25 to 34-year-olds living with parents or relatives.

00:02:36.000 In 1970, 11% of 25 to 34-year-olds were living with their parents.

00:02:42.000 Now 29%.

00:02:44.000 But in addition, cohabitation has increased.

00:02:46.000 Living with an unmarried partner, 17% of young people are living with an unmarried partner, whereas that number was about 1% in the 1970s.

00:02:55.000 10% of people are just living alone, whereas in 1970, it was 5%.

00:03:00.000 So America is less married than ever before.

00:03:03.000 More people are living with spouses, living without spouses or living with their parents or their relatives, or they're living with roommates or living with a cohabitated partner, and yet we're more miserable.

00:03:12.000 Isn't it interesting how that all works?

00:03:14.000 So to answer your question, and I don't want to be too blunt about it, but a paper degree to this person that emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:03:23.000 It's Brenda.

00:03:24.000 It's a simple, nice question.

00:03:25.000 I don't think it's going to make any difference, which is, again, this is not, you don't have to overthink this.

00:03:31.000 What is something you're good at?

00:03:32.000 Find a skill, any skill, and then go find somebody that is good at that skill and ask them for an unpaid internship for one year and say, I will do anything.

00:03:41.000 I will clean the floors.

00:03:42.000 I will show up at 6 a.m.

00:03:44.000 Now, that's harder than college, by the way.

00:03:45.000 College is way easier than that.

00:03:48.000 But let's say that you're like, hey, I really want to be, I want to own a business.

00:03:53.000 I want to own car dealerships.

00:03:54.000 Then go into a car dealership, go find the owner and say, I'm 18 years old.

00:03:57.000 I'll work for free for a year.

00:03:58.000 Anything that I will show up early.

00:04:00.000 I'll stay late.

00:04:01.000 Anything you need.

00:04:03.000 I haven't seen that scrappiness out of many young people.

00:04:05.000 But that hustle is a defining characteristic.

00:04:08.000 Okay, collegescam.com.

00:04:09.000 We'll keep on talking about it.

00:04:10.000 Now we have Congressman Andy Biggs to join us about Dr. Deborah Burks and other topics as well.

00:04:16.000 Congressman Biggs, welcome to the program.

00:04:19.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:04:20.000 Good to be with you.

00:04:22.000 So, Congressman, I want to play cut three of something about something Dr. Burks said, and then I'll allow you to elaborate on it for our audience.

00:04:28.000 Play cut three.

00:04:30.000 I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection, and I think we overplayed the vaccines, and it made people then worry that it's not going to protect.

00:04:40.000 She knew they weren't going to work.

00:04:42.000 Did she lie under oath, Congressman?

00:04:44.000 Should she be prosecuted for that?

00:04:46.000 What are your thoughts?

00:04:48.000 First of all, I think she probably did lie under oath.

00:04:52.000 And then the DOJ probably should investigate in terms of they're going to prosecute.

00:04:57.000 I doubt that they will.

00:04:58.000 I mean, DOJ is extremely friendly to the left, and she certainly is in the left. 0.99

00:05:04.000 I think it also reveals exactly what people like you and I said for a year and a half, two years, that what was going on was a pandemic, that it was designed to gain control over the American people, and they got control to an incredible degree, took away freedoms, attacked freedom and liberty, and that they did it so they would get that power.

00:05:27.000 And then I guess the third thing is, if you want a great expose about Dr. Burks, Dr. Scott Atlas's book about the working on COVID issues, I think really reveals that she was intransigent and she wanted power and she was an egotist and arrogant.

00:05:50.000 And all of that is revealed in her recent testimony and in the excerpts from her book that are out there, Charlie.

00:05:58.000 This is a person who is dangerous, and it shows how tyrannical our own government can be.

00:06:06.000 And yes, what's so troubling to me, though, is how she was largely not held accountable.

00:06:12.000 It was her and Dr. Fauci that were able to run the entire medical apparatus of our country for quite a long time under Donald Trump.

00:06:20.000 I mean, what is the lesson here?

00:06:22.000 I mean, I was trying to warn people about Burks in the White House at the time, Scarf Lady, and I was not taken seriously.

00:06:28.000 A lot of people were not.

00:06:30.000 A lot of the personnel in the White House still defend Burks to this day and still defend Fauci to this day.

00:06:37.000 Is Burks really now admitting when we knew the vaccine was not what we said it was this entire time?

00:06:42.000 How can we ever trust these institutions again?

00:06:46.000 I think, Charlie, you're right.

00:06:48.000 We should learn some things about bureaucracy, that you can't trust these bureaucrats.

00:06:54.000 You cannot trust them.

00:06:56.000 You and I, I was on the same page with you, and we were talking about Dr. Burks.

00:07:01.000 So just like Dr. Fauci needs to be held accountable, Deborah Burks needs to be held accountable. 0.99

00:07:06.000 And we have to keep going to find out because the bureaucracy has taken over our government to a certain extent.

00:07:14.000 And the bureaucrats like that control, and they'll never relinquish that control. 0.96

00:07:19.000 And it doesn't matter.

00:07:21.000 One lesson to learn here is it doesn't matter who the occupant of the White House is because the bureaucrats tend to act independently and alone and they're all leftists.

00:07:31.000 So you can put your anointed people in here. 1.00

00:07:34.000 They anointed two bad people in Fauci and Burks, but everybody underneath them was going to support that position.

00:07:40.000 So when Scott Atlas is brought in, they hate Scott Atlas because he is, they've created this mindless orthodoxy of control and misinformation to the American people.

00:07:52.000 And Atlas is telling the truth.

00:07:54.000 And so he's heterodox to them.

00:07:56.000 And so they're going to persecute him.

00:07:58.000 And we as American people were misled and lied to by the people who we thought we'd trust.

00:08:04.000 So when you say, will we ever trust him again?

00:08:07.000 I don't know how we do.

00:08:08.000 It's going to take a generation, my opinion, a generation or more to build that trust back.

00:08:12.000 And I, quite frankly, don't see the type of leadership that's going to come in and help us rebuild trust.

00:08:21.000 And I think we should just dismantle the bureaucracy altogether.

00:08:24.000 Yeah, I mean, look, it's terrible when you think about it.

00:08:28.000 And it's hard for me to kind of get over it.

00:08:30.000 She has mass amounts of new people and poverty on her hands. 1.00

00:08:33.000 She has blood on her hands. 1.00

00:08:35.000 All the businesses that were closed, all the disruptions that happened.

00:08:39.000 And then she lied blatantly and completely.

00:08:42.000 And Republicans are still defending her.

00:08:45.000 It's just extraordinary to me.

00:08:47.000 How is it that when the new Congress takes over, because I think we are going to take over in November, I'm not sure by what margin, what do you think can actually be done to hold these medical tyrants accountable?

00:09:01.000 You've got several things, Charlie.

00:09:03.000 Number one is we have to have real oversight hearings in both the oversight and the judiciary committees.

00:09:09.000 We'll have control of those committees.

00:09:11.000 We can bring them in.

00:09:12.000 We can expose them.

00:09:15.000 DOJ is not going to do anything to them.

00:09:17.000 Let's be honest with you.

00:09:19.000 But we have something if we reinstitute, it's called the Holman Rule.

00:09:22.000 And what it does is it basically zeroes out specific positions.

00:09:26.000 And that's what we should do, zero out specific positions of people who lied or misled to the American public.

00:09:33.000 So they don't get any fiscal reward for lying to the people as we have taxpayers with taxpayers' money.

00:09:41.000 Congressman Biggs, what is your take?

00:09:42.000 The primary is just right around the corner.

00:09:45.000 I would say, looking right now, all the polling I've seen and you know, Charlie, I get all over the state, talk to groups.

00:09:53.000 I would say Blake has the edge right now.

00:09:58.000 I think he probably has a little better than a margin of error edge.

00:10:03.000 I would say Jim Lehman's probably second.

00:10:06.000 I think falling down a little bit, it would be the AG Mark Bernovich.

00:10:11.000 But I would say right now, it looks to me like this is going into the last week.

00:10:15.000 It's probably Blake Masters' race to lose.

00:10:18.000 What do you think about the governor's race?

00:10:19.000 It's been awfully nasty, hard to watch.

00:10:21.000 What do you think?

00:10:23.000 It has been nasty and very difficult to watch.

00:10:26.000 And I don't know how we're going to come together after it's over.

00:10:29.000 I hope we can because nothing would be worse than a Katie Hobbs governor governorship, regardless of who the Republican candidate is. 0.92

00:10:40.000 I would say this looks to me like a photo finish right now, Charlie.

00:10:48.000 The last polling I saw had this a neck and neck.

00:10:53.000 I've actually seen, it looks to me like Kerry was up a little bit on the last poll I saw and Karen was behind.

00:11:01.000 But I did see a poll right before that where Karen had edged up. 0.99

00:11:05.000 And so I'm looking at it as a photo finish.

00:11:09.000 And what I would tell you too, Charlie, is that the mail-in ballot return is exceptionally low.

00:11:16.000 And I don't know for it tells me a couple of things.

00:11:20.000 Number one, people still don't trust the elections, but I would tell people get your ballot in sooner rather than later.

00:11:29.000 And it tells me also that there's a lot of undecideds out there.

00:11:33.000 And that means that the sprint to the end here, this last week, is going to determine the whole outcome because people have waited so long.

00:11:42.000 Maybe there's a lot still who haven't decided.

00:11:45.000 Yeah, I find that to be true.

00:11:47.000 At least with some of my family members in Scottsdale, they refused to put it in the mail.

00:11:53.000 They said, no, no, no, no.

00:11:54.000 Next week, I'm driving to the local Secretary of State's office.

00:11:58.000 I'm going to look the person in the eye.

00:11:59.000 I'm going to make sure it's processed.

00:12:01.000 I get the number that I get to check up on it on the internet.

00:12:03.000 I am not playing any games at all.

00:12:06.000 And then President Trump just had a rally and he endorsed Kerry Lake and Blake Masters there.

00:12:10.000 It was a huge rally.

00:12:11.000 One of his focuses was the border.

00:12:13.000 Andy, this is something that is just a constant invasion of our beautiful state of Arizona.

00:12:19.000 Are we seeing any improvements?

00:12:20.000 What's the estimate of how many people are crossing every single day across the southern border?

00:12:25.000 Well, the estimate, if you include non-gotaways, known gotaways and getaways that we just estimate, you're probably looking at 9,000 to 12,000 a day on average all across the southern border.

00:12:42.000 And right now, Charlie, we're seeing something we hadn't seen recently, and that is two things.

00:12:47.000 Number one, sometimes Yuma leads the whole country in border encounters.

00:12:53.000 Sometimes it's Del Rio.

00:12:54.000 Most of the times it's RGV.

00:12:56.000 But something you're seeing in Yuma that we hadn't seen until the last few months, last couple of months, is actually runners, getaways.

00:13:03.000 And so last time I was there, just about two and a half weeks ago, 300 people.

00:13:09.000 And all of a sudden, the Border Patrol, there were two Border Patrol agents there, and one has to leave to go chase runners, while the other one is left there with, you know, almost 300 people there.

00:13:21.000 And he's trying to maintain control and order of those 300 people, which is somewhat, it's easier because those people know they're going to be released into the country.

00:13:29.000 So it's as bad as ever, going to get worse, I fear.

00:13:35.000 Well, Andy Biggs from the great state of Arizona, thank you for speaking out against the invasion.

00:13:38.000 And as President Donald Trump says in regards to the Arizona primary, we'll see what happens.

00:13:43.000 God bless you, Andy.

00:13:44.000 Thanks so much.

00:13:45.000 Thanks, Charlie.

00:13:46.000 Appreciate it.

00:13:49.000 Hey, everybody.

00:13:50.000 This common sense is brought to you by the folks at secondvote.com, amazing people who are fighting back against woke corporations.

00:14:00.000 Good afternoon.

00:14:01.000 I'm Rebecca Hatfield, president of Second Vote.

00:14:03.000 We've had uniquely American common sense since 1776, but now we're in the age of common nonsense.

00:14:10.000 Today's nonsense comes from the big corporations fighting the Supreme Court.

00:14:14.000 They can't accept the conservatives have won three huge victories.

00:14:18.000 So they're trying to overpower the court's legitimate decisions, and they're using your hard-earned dollars to fund it.

00:14:24.000 On Life, the court finally overturned Roe versus Wade.

00:14:28.000 So some companies are paying for employees to travel to states where they can get an abortion.

00:14:33.000 It's the usual suspects like Target, Starbucks, and Dick's Sporting Goods, but also others like Macy's, Netflix, and Airbnb.

00:14:40.000 On the Second Amendment, the court clarified that we have a constitutional right to carry a firearm.

00:14:45.000 So 200 CEOs signed a letter demanding gun control.

00:14:49.000 It's just common sense if you have the right to carry a firearm everywhere.

00:14:53.000 But woke liberals don't want you to be able to protect yourself.

00:14:56.000 On Religious Liberty, the court ruled that, of course, a high school football coach has the right to pray after games.

00:15:02.000 So woke CEOs promised to further remove religion from our lives.

00:15:07.000 HR policies will stop employees from celebrating their faith at work.

00:15:11.000 And big tech will continue to censor and silence Christian voices.

00:15:15.000 These crucial issues are why Second Vote does the research to expose big corporations by scoring hundreds of companies on traditional American values.

00:15:24.000 And we want you to use Second Vote research to make better choices with your money.

00:15:28.000 So please make sure to arm yourselves every day with the knowledge you need to shop smart and stop funding the left.

00:15:34.000 I'm Rebecca Hatfield, president of Second Vote, reminding you that your first vote is at the ballot box, but your second vote is with your wallet.

00:15:52.000 With us right now is Eddie Scary.

00:15:54.000 He's author of a new book, Liberal Misery: How the Hateful Left Sucks Joy Out of Everything and Everyone.

00:16:00.000 Getting straight to the point by Eddie Scary.

00:16:02.000 Eddie, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:16:04.000 Hey, happy to be here.

00:16:06.000 So, basically, I mean, I haven't read the book, but the summary scenes that explain what drives America's left to be such a wet blanket.

00:16:13.000 Liberals, Democrats, and leftists' tendency to zealously spread discomfort and misery has been somewhat of a mystery.

00:16:19.000 You even say that conservatives are showing to be have better mental health than liberals.

00:16:24.000 So, if I could just cut straight to the chase, if you're dealing with depression and you're a liberal, stop being a liberal and become a conservative.

00:16:31.000 Is that about right?

00:16:32.000 Um, I think that's that's a question for a doctor, but I will say, yes, I, I, as you said, it was this whole concept of liberal misery and liberal anger and bitterness was something that I think me, and I'm sure you and every one of your listeners and viewers have experienced, and I would say experienced to some degree for quite some time.

00:16:51.000 But when I really started to notice, it was in 2020.

00:16:53.000 I live in Washington, D.C., so it's all liberals all the time.

00:16:56.000 Most of the people I associate with are just going to happen to be liberal.

00:16:59.000 But I noticed that in that year, it was just becoming very, very obvious that there was something wrong here.

00:17:05.000 And I felt that the politics and the bad nature of the whole thing was only coming from one side.

00:17:12.000 And I kept asking myself, why are liberals so miserable?

00:17:16.000 Why do I keep having these, even just normal social, what should be normal, pleasant social interactions? 0.62

00:17:21.000 If the pandemic came up, if any of the Black Lives Matter stuff came up, if the campaign came up and discussion, suddenly it's an all-out war with these people. 0.92

00:17:30.000 And I kept thinking, why is this?

00:17:31.000 Why, what is this anger about?

00:17:33.000 So I start looking around and I find that there's all these studies, all this data, all this research about showing, and every facet of life, no matter what you ask about, ask, break it down by ideological or by party, Democrats versus Republicans, liberals versus conservatives, also independents.

00:17:49.000 Every single time, liberals are more likely to express a dissatisfaction with their life, whether it's their job, their marriage, where they live.

00:17:57.000 They're more likely to block people on social media because they came across something they didn't like, they didn't agree with.

00:18:03.000 They're more likely to say, I don't want to have anything to do with a Trump supporter, and on and on and on.

00:18:08.000 And just finding that there's actual research and a way to demonstrate, no, this is true.

00:18:14.000 This feeling that I and you and so many people have had about liberals and the misery that they just tend to carry with them is actually borne out by data.

00:18:22.000 So what do you think is the driving element of that?

00:18:24.000 Do you think it's part of their philosophy, such as you must be miserable if you want to change everything?

00:18:30.000 Or is it because of their overemphasis on feelings or emotion, whereas conservatives would be more, I would say, rationality and reason and prudence?

00:18:38.000 What do you think the reason for that is?

00:18:40.000 Well, I would say that it looks as if more and more, and I would say, again, that 2020 was kind of where this kind of thing went on, went on steroids.

00:18:50.000 The difference and the overriding difference in the pattern that I noticed in looking at all this research and data was that politics is part of a liberal and a Democrat's identity.

00:19:01.000 This is all consuming of their life.

00:19:03.000 And there was one study that I cite in the book, Liberal Misery, that's showing how, regardless of race, regardless of income, regardless of social status, if you are a liberal or Democrat, you are more likely to donate money to a political cause you believe in, whether it's abortion, environmentalism, some kind of political campaign.

00:19:22.000 Whether you're a janitor or a CEO, you compare the two, including independents, well, I guess the three, independents and Republicans.

00:19:29.000 If you are a liberal or a Democrat, you are just more likely to be invested in those causes.

00:19:34.000 And I think that that's the, again, the pattern that I notice in all the data.

00:19:38.000 It's I don't want my kids marrying someone who doesn't agree with our politics.

00:19:43.000 I don't want to associate with these people.

00:19:46.000 They no longer view disagreement on politics, especially disagreement on really anything, as chances to engage, maybe even learn something.

00:19:54.000 They actually view those as reasons to shrink their social circles and actually lash out at people to demonstrate, again, this is what I believe.

00:20:03.000 We can't agree to disagree.

00:20:04.000 It's not just do an election, that's going to resolve our issues.

00:20:08.000 No, this is politics all the time, all-consuming on the left.

00:20:13.000 Yeah, and just to pinpointing the reason why is still somewhat of a mystery to me.

00:20:17.000 I mean, liberals are more likely to believe that if it feels good, then it must be good policy.

00:20:23.000 And it seems as if there is this driving force in left-wing ideology that could be best compared to just religious intolerance.

00:20:34.000 And what I mean by that is just as if it was back to a return to scholasticism or just purging the non-believers, tolerance is not a value of theirs. 0.87

00:20:44.000 It never has been, even though they pretend it's not.

00:20:47.000 They pretend it is. 0.96

00:20:48.000 And so go through some of the other examples of how miserable liberals actually are.

00:20:53.000 And I think their misery is one of the reasons why they're not going to stop the destruction of our great country.

00:21:00.000 No, that is the point I'm making with this book: this is here to stay.

00:21:06.000 I think that the best example was 2020.

00:21:10.000 Once again, if you live in a big city, and they're all run by Democrats.

00:21:14.000 It's all Democrat attorneys general, mayors, governors.

00:21:19.000 If you live in one of these places, as we were getting closer to the election, all of their storefronts, small businesses, offices, all of them were boarded up because of the election.

00:21:31.000 And that was not in anticipation of a possible Biden win.

00:21:34.000 That was anticipation of a Trump win.

00:21:37.000 Because we saw throughout the summer of 2020, the mostly peaceful George Floyd protests.

00:21:43.000 We saw exactly how they were willing to act and behave.

00:21:46.000 The vandalism, destroying private and public property, assaulting police officers, violently assaulting them.

00:21:53.000 I think some of them were fatal.

00:21:55.000 We saw how the left will operate when they're not getting their way.

00:21:58.000 Another example is Brett Kavanaugh.

00:22:00.000 The decisions come out from the Supreme Court that upset the left.

00:22:03.000 What do they do?

00:22:04.000 They harass a sitting Supreme Court justice, threaten him with actual political violence.

00:22:11.000 And the thing is, this side, the left side, Democrats, liberals, they actually believe that that is justified.

00:22:17.000 And that is the stunning development in our politics.

00:22:21.000 I think in the history, certainly as long as I've been alive, that now there is one side of politics in this country that actually believes a certain type of political violence is completely justified.

00:22:31.000 And again, the boarding up of all the storefronts, the shops, that was because if Trump won, the left is going to go insane.

00:22:40.000 And they're going to do it all over again.

00:22:43.000 The destruction, the threatening, the harassment, the intimidation.

00:22:46.000 That's now how they operate.

00:22:49.000 And it's as if there's no checks and balances.

00:22:51.000 Let me ask you, has the left always been this way?

00:22:53.000 And you kind of mentioned this and you said no, but then what changed and when did it change?

00:22:58.000 Sure.

00:22:59.000 I would say when we go back to 2016, that's when you get the birth of the resistance and how the screaming in the streets, the pussy hats, all of that type of stuff, the crying.

00:23:11.000 That's when you really notice the change that this is becoming a little bit different.

00:23:16.000 I would say that there were studies, Pew and Gallup, they asked the same questions over a period of years.

00:23:22.000 I could say that even going back to the Obama years, when they should have been fairly happy, they had the presidency, even then they were still likely to express this dissatisfaction with their lives, their marriages, where they live, their jobs.

00:23:35.000 Still more likely to say that I'm going to block somebody on social media because I don't agree with something they said.

00:23:40.000 More likely to say they don't want to associate with the other side.

00:23:43.000 People who vote a different way.

00:23:44.000 They don't want to associate with them.

00:23:46.000 And so, yes, it goes back quite some time, but just again, the fact that it has become so consuming and overwhelming dynamic on the left and in our politics.

00:23:57.000 And again, it's very clearly here to stay.

00:24:00.000 They got the White House, they got all of Congress, and yet still, yet still, they're still behaving this way. 0.87

00:24:07.000 So this is an interesting point, which is we know the left is miserable, but does the left know they're miserable?

00:24:12.000 I mean, in your research, do they admit that they're less happy?

00:24:15.000 Do they admit that they are dealing with an issue?

00:24:18.000 And I'm not saying that they ever come to the conclusion that their politics is the reason for that, but is there at least any recognition that you're seeing that the left admits that they're less happier than other people in the country?

00:24:29.000 Well, these studies are broken down by people who will self-identify, self-identify as liberal, self-identify as Democrat, and they just happen to be more likely, I shouldn't say just happen to be, they are more likely to say that they are less happy with things than people who are independent, people who are on the right side.

00:24:46.000 Do they acknowledge or kind of admit that this is a problem that they have?

00:24:51.000 I don't think so.

00:24:52.000 And I think that's, again, going back to the point of this is all justified.

00:24:56.000 The anti-social behavior, any idea that they're going to act out and harass people because they have political disagreements or they didn't get their way, they actually have come to believe this is justified.

00:25:07.000 And as another example of that, I will say it's the pandemic and the environmental issue.

00:25:13.000 You had time and time again, Democrats, mayors, attorneys, governors, Gavin Newsome, take your pick and forcing these rules and saying, you need to stay home, you need to wear your mask.

00:25:26.000 And then what do they do?

00:25:27.000 They go out and have a party.

00:25:28.000 They go to a dinner.

00:25:29.000 They're going out and hanging with their friends.

00:25:30.000 They're flying across the country.

00:25:32.000 And that's to say nothing of John Kerry, if you remember that clip when he took a private flight across seas and he was asked, well, why are you doing that if you think that the carbon emissions issue is such a big deal?

00:25:44.000 And he said, someone like me can't fly commercial.

00:25:47.000 When he says someone like me, he means that he is special.

00:25:51.000 They actually believe that this, when they do it, it's okay.

00:25:54.000 When they do it, it's justified.

00:25:56.000 What the mental issue is there, I can't speak to, but I know that they actually, there is this tendency and this overriding pattern that whatever they have to do or whatever, however they act out, however, whatever rules they break, they honestly believe that that is okay.

00:26:10.000 It's completely justified when it's them.

00:26:12.000 And when it's the other side, well, they're going to put the full weight of the federal justice department in prosecuting them.

00:26:21.000 Yeah.

00:26:21.000 And so to piggyback on that, it's as if it's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy.

00:26:28.000 They believe they are better than us.

00:26:31.000 And because they've reached some level of enlightenment that we, the normal folk, exactly haven't.

00:26:38.000 Is there a way to make America less miserable while it remains as liberal as it is?

00:26:43.000 What I'm really asking you is this might be one of the roots of America's mental health crisis.

00:26:49.000 We see the most depressed, suicidal, alcohol-addicted, and drug-addicted generation in history.

00:26:54.000 It might actually not be a mental health crisis.

00:26:56.000 It could be a political crisis.

00:26:57.000 Really quick, your thoughts.

00:26:59.000 What we all have to do, especially independents, is stop believing that you can feed the animals.

00:27:05.000 No, stop feeding the animals.

00:27:06.000 The way that they're behaving, it doesn't go away just because you say we're going to appease them.

00:27:10.000 I knew people who voted for Biden in 2020, voted for Democrats because they believe if everything can just calm down, we're going to vote that way and it'll be okay.

00:27:18.000 No, we've actually seen it just the dial goes up.

00:27:21.000 It gets worse and worse.

00:27:22.000 So first, everyone, especially independents, we've got to stop playing their game. 0.96

00:27:26.000 Chapter five, Thou Shall Not Speak Unless Truly Boring in Eddie's book.

00:27:30.000 Eddie, what do you mean by that?

00:27:32.000 Well, that's actually very timely.

00:27:33.000 We just saw that Samantha B's show was canceled.

00:27:36.000 I don't know if you saw that development.

00:27:39.000 No, the whole point of that is that talk about sucking the joy out of everything.

00:27:43.000 Liberals have completely destroyed the entertainment industry, especially comedy.

00:27:48.000 What do they do when actually something genuinely funny comes out?

00:27:52.000 If a little risque, but the Dave Chappelle comedy, everyone very popular, very popular, but not among the liberals, not among the hardcore liberals.

00:28:01.000 What'd they do?

00:28:02.000 They started social media campaigns to destroy the special, to get Netflix to pull it.

00:28:09.000 The Netflix employees organize, the liberal ones organize a walkout.

00:28:14.000 Hollywood, the entertainment, the award ceremonies.

00:28:18.000 Those used to be fun to watch.

00:28:19.000 You could see fun music acts.

00:28:21.000 The host was usually funny.

00:28:23.000 Now it's just raging political, liberal political activism.

00:28:27.000 The same thing with movies.

00:28:29.000 It has to be, politics has to be the overriding message.

00:28:33.000 One of my favorite examples is Ghostbusters.

00:28:36.000 They didn't think anything about how to make another Ghostbusters that would actually be genuinely a good movie.

00:28:40.000 They said, oh, let's just replace the cast with all women. 1.00

00:28:44.000 And the movie bombed.

00:28:46.000 And when it bombed, the new producers, or I don't know if they were the same producers or not, said, well, we're going to make another one, but we're not married to the all-female cast thing.

00:28:55.000 We're not doing that.

00:28:56.000 I guess they might have learned their lesson.

00:28:57.000 But the one of the actresses, Leslie whatever, who one of the characters in the show, I think she's also a Saturday Night Live person.

00:29:06.000 She then goes on this Twitter rant about, well, that sends the message that boys are better than girls and we can't, we're not the same.

00:29:13.000 But again, this goes back to what we were talking about earlier: that politics has to touch every corner of their lives, all-consuming.

00:29:21.000 And when it's not, and when they're not making decisions based on that, and when the decision doesn't go their way, when the results don't go their way, they're very angry, very bitter, and they act out.

00:29:32.000 That's well said.
