00:00:05.000 Is it a good deal?

00:00:07.000 I walked the details and the specifics.

00:00:57.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:00.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:01.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:02.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.

00:01:48.000 So there's a spending deal that has been cut.
00:01:52.000 Speaker Johnson is out bragging about a spending deal.
00:01:55.000 He says it's the best spending deal Republicans have accomplished in over a decade.
00:01:59.000 Chuck Schumer is happy.
00:02:00.000 Joe Biden applauds this deal, everybody.
00:02:03.000 Well, what's in the deal?
00:02:05.000 Come on, Speaker Johnson.
00:02:06.000 Show us the goods.
00:02:07.000 He says it's the most favorable budget agreement Republicans have achieved in over a decade.
00:02:12.000 The spending figures are $886 billion for defense spending and $704 billion for discretionary non-defense spending, plus a side deal for another $69 billion in non-defense spending.
00:02:25.000 So really, it's $773 billion in non-defense spending.
00:02:32.000 So what do we get in return?
00:02:34.000 Well, he's bragging that he got a $10 billion cut to the IRS.
00:02:38.000 This is a lie.
00:02:39.000 This is a misdirection play.
00:02:41.000 This is smokescreen.
00:02:42.000 So the House gave the IRS $80 billion a couple years ago and this extra money.
00:02:50.000 And this is a $10 billion cut in the bonus money that the IRS is getting.
00:02:57.000 So in addition, Speaker Johnson also got $6 billion cut from various COVID-era slush funds that are still around for some reason, $6 billion.
00:03:09.000 So in a $6.6 trillion federal budget, Speaker Johnson is bragging to you that he got $16 billion of cuts.
00:03:19.000 And they're not even cuts.
00:03:20.000 They are cuts in the rate of growth.
00:03:24.000 By the way, something massive is missing here.
00:03:26.000 Yes, of course, actual spending cuts are missing.
00:03:30.000 Actual budgeting practices are missing.
00:03:34.000 Oh, that's right.
00:03:35.000 The border.
00:03:36.000 The border is in complete meltdown.
00:03:39.000 Anywhere between 12 to 15,000 people are coming across the border every single day.
00:03:46.000 Where's the deal for the border?
00:03:48.000 You see, Speaker Johnson, he played all of us.
00:03:51.000 Now, thankfully, he didn't play us here on this program because, you know, we were happy he became speaker within a week.
00:03:56.000 I saw that this guy is not cut out.
00:03:58.000 He doesn't have the stones, doesn't have the spine.
00:04:00.000 He uses the Bible as his worldview, but he doesn't act like it.
00:04:04.000 He's not acting like a Christian. 0.99
00:04:06.000 He hasn't acted like a Christian for quite some time.
00:04:08.000 He seems like a nice guy.
00:04:08.000 And I wish he would.
00:04:09.000 Go run a Bible study.
00:04:10.000 We've been saying that.
00:04:12.000 But this is hard-nosed politics.
00:04:14.000 Speaker Johnson, he cut a deal with Biden and Schumer over Thanksgiving, cut a deal with Biden and Schumer over Christmas.
00:04:20.000 Didn't have people to stay in DC to actually get the spending reforms done.
00:04:24.000 And on this program, we said, hey, in January, there's going to be widespread capitulation.
00:04:28.000 And ta-da, here you go.
00:04:31.000 Widespread capitulation by Speaker Johnson.
00:04:35.000 It is basically a worse version of the deal that we were fired up with Speaker McCarthy.
00:04:43.000 We were so mad at Speaker McCarthy.
00:04:45.000 And this is worse.
00:04:46.000 This is a worse deal.
00:04:47.000 The border is completely wide open.
00:04:49.000 Speaker Johnson, what have you done to secure the border?
00:04:53.000 The border is a wreck.
00:04:53.000 Nothing.
00:04:54.000 Our defense secretaries are checking into the ICU without telling anybody.
00:05:00.000 Ukraine is failing.
00:05:02.000 Biden can't put together two sentences and is comparing January 6th to Gettysburg and Pearl Harbor.
00:05:09.000 Maybe you could use your leverage to negotiate something, but you have to have some nerve.
00:05:14.000 You have to have some spine.
00:05:17.000 You have to have some non-negotiables.
00:05:19.000 Sit down and be a leader or get out of the way, Speaker Johnson, and stop telling me about how much you love the Bible.
00:05:28.000 Every day, you know, well, I hear this from people all the time.
00:05:31.000 The kid gloves of some people, he's getting invited to all these different speaking events in the Christian world.
00:05:37.000 Oh, well, you know, he's a Christian.
00:05:38.000 Where's the fruit of the courage of Speaker Johnson?
00:05:42.000 Sex trafficking, drugs, fentanyl, 12,000 people a day.
00:05:47.000 What has he done to secure the border?
00:05:49.000 And you might say, oh, well, there's nothing he can do.
00:05:51.000 No, no, no.
00:05:52.000 There's a lot he could do.
00:05:54.000 He could have shut down the government in November.
00:05:56.000 At least show us that you care.
00:05:58.000 Do something, man.
00:06:00.000 We literally have border agents.
00:06:02.000 Let me read this story from you.
00:06:04.000 Speaker Johnson seems okay with this because he's bragging about this.
00:06:06.000 He's bragging.
00:06:09.000 U.S. Border Patrol agent under investigation after he was caught returning illegals to Mexico after they had already crossed into the U.S. near El Paso, federal government confirms.
00:06:19.000 So the federal government that Speaker Johnson is helping fund is investigating Border Patrol agents for returning illegal criminals, border jumpers, back to the country of origin.
00:06:33.000 So Speaker Johnson is saying, Well, I got all these cuts.
00:06:35.000 You got $16 billion in the cut of the rate of growth.
00:06:40.000 You see, Border Patrol agents, they're supposed to actually provide concierge services to criminals, escort them in, make it easy for them.
00:06:48.000 They're supposed to be an attaché.
00:06:50.000 They're supposed to be, hello, Juan.
00:06:53.000 Hello, Diego.
00:06:55.000 How can I help you?
00:06:56.000 What city would you like to go to?
00:06:58.000 Almost like you're checking into a four seasons hotel.
00:07:01.000 Hello, I am the concierge department.
00:07:03.000 Would you like reservations at Chili's?
00:07:06.000 Would you like a non-stop flight to Seattle?
00:07:08.000 We literally sit down with these illegals, and the Border Patrol is supposed to be expedia.com.
00:07:16.000 It's at taxpayer-funded expedia.com.
00:07:18.000 Where would you like to go?
00:07:20.000 Francisco?
00:07:22.000 Where would you like to go?
00:07:23.000 Oh, Philadelphia?
00:07:25.000 Border Patrol gets in trouble for sending illegals back to the country of origin because they're supposed to be like travel agents.
00:07:34.000 What city in this beautiful country would you like to go to?
00:07:37.000 And Speaker Johnson, what a disappointment.
00:07:41.000 And some people say, oh, you know, it's they're saying that he's a Christian and he's this wonderful person.
00:07:50.000 What?
00:07:51.000 What is this?
00:07:52.000 Is this how you're supposed to act?
00:07:55.000 I have cut this guy so much slack, and you have too.
00:07:57.000 And I mean, I haven't exactly been kind.
00:07:59.000 And, you know, they've been, his team has been trying to reach out to me.
00:08:02.000 And I said, you know what?
00:08:03.000 I'm done with it.
00:08:04.000 Enough of the back channeling, honestly.
00:08:06.000 And I've just kind of ignored all of it.
00:08:08.000 I've just kind of ignored.
00:08:10.000 I'm being very honest with you.
00:08:11.000 His team's been reaching out.
00:08:12.000 Oh, could we set up conference calls?
00:08:14.000 I said, enough.
00:08:15.000 You guys are going to sweet talk and double talk me.
00:08:17.000 And I'll probably end up, you know, softening the blood.
00:08:22.000 I want to see the results, man.
00:08:23.000 You know, I appreciate you guys reaching out.
00:08:26.000 I appreciate that.
00:08:27.000 It's fine.
00:08:28.000 We are a country in the middle of a civil war, a slow-motion civil war, whether you like it or not.
00:08:37.000 Now, it's not a hot civil war, but you have two different visions for the country.
00:08:43.000 If you need to read, if you want another read on the quality of this deal, Chuck U. Schumer and Joe Biden are celebrating it.
00:08:48.000 They say it's a wonderful deal.
00:08:50.000 Biden said on Sunday, quote, this is Joe Biden, the traitor to the United States.
00:08:55.000 The bipartisan funding framework congressional leaders have reached moves us one step closer to preventing a needless government shutdown and protecting important national priorities.
00:09:06.000 Joe Biden is thrilled with Speaker Johnson.
00:09:09.000 Thrilled.
00:09:10.000 Speaker Johnson's number one fan is Joe Biden.
00:09:14.000 Number one fan.
00:09:15.000 Freedom Caucus, thankfully, says the deal is unacceptable.
00:09:19.000 And I got to ask, what was this whole motion to vacate thing?
00:09:23.000 Why did we go through this entire thing?
00:09:25.000 And then we get rid of George Santos? 0.98
00:09:28.000 It's a clown show. 0.97
00:09:29.000 This is a clown show, everybody. 0.98
00:09:33.000 We deserve way better than this. 0.98
00:09:35.000 You deserve better than this.
00:09:36.000 Those of you that pay your taxes and work hard and you show up to work and you raise your kids and you go to church, you deserve a government far better than this.
00:09:46.000 The Freedom Caucus pledges to try to block this.
00:09:50.000 But what did you guys expect?
00:09:52.000 You don't work in November.
00:09:54.000 You don't work in December.
00:09:56.000 As we say, where's that chart that we came up?
00:09:58.000 The closer to election day you get, the more capitulation there is.
00:10:03.000 Do you all of a sudden expect them to wake up in January and say, yeah, we're going to go cut hundreds of billions of dollars of federal spending and secure the border?
00:10:13.000 Speaker Johnson is trying to gaslight you.
00:10:17.000 Dare I say he's just lying.
00:10:20.000 It's a lie.
00:10:21.000 And by the way, this actually might be true.
00:10:23.000 The most favorable budget agreement Republicans have achieved in over a decade, that actually might be true, which goes to show what you've been getting out of DC.
00:10:36.000 Christmas is here, everybody.
00:10:37.000 And that means that you might have to be moving boxes or just, it's tough, a lot of stress.
00:10:41.000 And that means inflammation increases.
00:10:43.000 And that means pain also might increase alongside of it.
00:10:46.000 Relief Factor, though, is here to help.

00:11:46.000 So people say, but then Charlie, what should he have done?
00:11:48.000 He has a narrow majority.
00:11:49.000 Okay, here's what leaders do.
00:11:51.000 And Speaker Johnson's not a leader.
00:11:52.000 He's not a leader.
00:11:54.000 Leaders are tough to come by.
00:11:55.000 By the way, I'm reading the Elon Musk biography by Walter Isaacson.
00:12:00.000 Elon's a leader.
00:12:01.000 I'm going to do a whole show once I finish the book.
00:12:03.000 It is an excellent book.
00:12:05.000 You might love Elon or hate Elon.
00:12:06.000 I don't want to hear anybody's opinion on Elon until you've read that book.
00:12:09.000 Seriously, or at least read part of it.
00:12:10.000 You get a real accurate picture into who Elon is, who, what drives him.
00:12:17.000 And he's a leader.
00:12:18.000 Leaders are hard to come by.
00:12:19.000 The Churchills, the Lincolns, the Caesars, the Washingtons, they're tough to come by.
00:12:26.000 And look, moderates are a problem.
00:12:27.000 But if you're a leader and you're Speaker Johnson, here's the three things he could have done, even with moderates as Speaker.
00:12:34.000 Number one, he could have prioritized that George Santos should not have been kicked out of the house.
00:12:40.000 That's number one.
00:12:41.000 He should have told the moderates to stop saying, I'm not going to fund your race if you kick out Santos.
00:12:45.000 He could have done that, even if it's a threat.
00:12:46.000 Just say, we're not doing that.
00:12:48.000 We're not going to neuter our own majority.
00:12:50.000 Number one.
00:12:50.000 Number two, he should have told Kevin McCarthy to stay in Congress.
00:12:53.000 Bad luck.
00:12:54.000 He could have said, Kevin, listen, you don't have to show up, show up for votes once every two months.
00:13:00.000 He could have gone and said to Kevin, Kevin, I need you to stay.
00:13:02.000 We cannot continue to shrink our majority.
00:13:06.000 Number three, he could have at least pretended with a government shutdown.
00:13:11.000 I do not understand what is this major fear they have about shutting down the government.
00:13:19.000 We have been through several government shutdowns.
00:13:21.000 We went through a government shutdown with Boehner, went through a government shutdown with Paul Ryan, went through a government shutdown with Speaker Gingrich, went through a government shutdown with Trump and Schumer and Pelosi on the border.
00:13:35.000 What is this incredible just opposition, this fear they have to shut down the government, especially over righteous causes?
00:13:46.000 And the fourth thing, which I get pushed back for saying this, but I'm going to remain committed to this belief.
00:13:53.000 They should have worked through Thanksgiving and Christmas.
00:13:56.000 Many of you had to show up to work over Christmas break.
00:13:59.000 Flight attendants, pilots in the ER, nurses, even many of you that worked in fast food, plumbers, electricians, you might have got a couple days off.
00:14:10.000 Your elected officials basically got a six-week vacation.
00:14:14.000 And Speaker Johnson said, oh, don't worry, in January, we got you.
00:14:19.000 And we saw through that right when it happened.
00:14:21.000 We said, no, we've been around.
00:14:23.000 I've been doing this for 11 years.
00:14:25.000 I know a punting strategy, a delay tactic when I see one.
00:14:30.000 You don't want to actually do your job.
00:14:33.000 So you're kicking into January.
00:14:35.000 You're going to blame it on an election year.
00:14:37.000 And you're going to kind of do a half deal.
00:14:39.000 $16 billion out of a $6.6 trillion budget and a $2 trillion deficit.
00:14:49.000 We are borrowing $2 trillion a year, $2 trillion.
00:14:54.000 And we cut $16 billion.
00:14:57.000 It's repulsive.
00:14:58.000 It's actually insulting to all of you.
00:15:01.000 This will guarantee the further deterioration of our currency, hyperinflation.
00:15:09.000 This will turn us into a permanent debtor nation.
00:15:12.000 And all of that is bad.
00:15:14.000 But we could have put aside some of the harder to achieve spending reforms if, if, if Speaker Johnson could have been a leader, which he's not, could have been bold, which he's not, could have been courageous, which he's not, gathered the Republican tribes together and prioritized securing the southern border.
00:15:34.000 You only have so much time on the scoreboard here.
00:15:38.000 Time is running out.
00:15:39.000 And yet he just gave that time away.
00:15:41.000 That's why Chuck Hugh Schumer was, he couldn't believe that he didn't have to fight in December.
00:15:46.000 Couldn't believe it.
00:15:48.000 At the very least, they could have kept them in D.C. You could have put pressure on them.
00:15:53.000 Speaker Johnson says, Oh, we're going to all this ridiculous nonsense that it's this double speak.
00:15:58.000 It's I'm better than you. 1.00
00:15:59.000 It's this elitist garbage. 0.98
00:16:01.000 Oh, we're doing a laddered CR and we're doing this add-on amendment process. 1.00
00:16:06.000 I guess, cut the crap, man. 0.99
00:16:07.000 Okay. 1.00
00:16:08.000 I've been around for 11 years.
00:16:09.000 I've met many politicians.
00:16:11.000 I know a fraud when I see one.
00:16:13.000 Cut it out.
00:16:14.000 You couldn't broker a deal.
00:16:16.000 You start shaking like a leaf when you get into the room with Chuck Schumer.
00:16:24.000 Whatever they want, they get.
00:16:25.000 They're all praising this deal.
00:16:27.000 And then you come out and you're like, well, maybe just let me take a little victory in the press conference about adding amendments and laddered CR.
00:16:35.000 Are there enough?
00:16:36.000 Okay.
00:16:38.000 You know what real leaders do?
00:16:39.000 You walk in with Chuck Schumer and say, what do you fear most?
00:16:43.000 A shutdown?
00:16:44.000 Well, you're going to get one.
00:16:46.000 Thanks for dealing, Chuck Hugh Schumer.
00:16:48.000 I'll see you on the Sunday morning shows.
00:16:51.000 At least pretend to fight for the majority of the country that wants a border, that wants spending cuts.
00:16:57.000 It's not like our priorities.
00:16:58.000 I mean, I'd love to get rid of the Department of Education and all that.
00:17:00.000 I mean, just let's just take that aside. 0.60
00:17:02.000 How about you even pretend to fight for the country, not try to spin this garbage as if it's a win for the American people? 0.78

00:18:17.000 So Speaker Johnson does nothing when it comes to the southern border.
00:18:22.000 And you have to go all in at some point.
00:18:23.000 And if there was an issue to go all in, it's the border.
00:18:25.000 It's the border.
00:18:26.000 It's the border.
00:18:27.000 And then it's just repulsive, repulsive, where they have a border patrol agent that is being investigated for doing his job.
00:18:36.000 He wasn't acting like Expedia.com for Mohamed Diego Francisco and the rest of them when they come across the southern border, where they want to get deployed from the oh, I hear Nashville is nice.
00:18:49.000 Okay, yes, sir, Muhammad.
00:18:51.000 Would you like an aisle seat or would you like a window seat, sir?
00:18:55.000 Oh, and by the way, you have a court date in 2057, and we don't expect you to show up.
00:19:00.000 And here's a cell phone, and here's some cash.
00:19:02.000 And here's how to apply for government benefits.
00:19:05.000 And you can go to Amnesty International or you can go to openborders.org.
00:19:10.000 Or if you go to California, you get taxpayer-funded gender reassignment surgery.
00:19:16.000 True story.
00:19:18.000 True story.
00:19:19.000 And Speaker Johnson is, he does this press conference like he's some sort of tough guy, like he's standing in the gap.
00:19:24.000 Speaker Johnson stands on the border.
00:19:26.000 Oh, you know, I know the border is an issue because I do the press conference here, but I'm going to do nothing to actually fix the problem because I'm a typical Washington, D.C. politician. 1.00
00:19:35.000 I'm going to shake like a leaf when I sit down with Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer, but I'm going to try to make you seem as if it's a win because I think you're stupid. 0.99
00:19:43.000 There's another story that seems to be unrelated, but it's exactly what's happening. 0.98
00:19:49.000 Now, the southern border is, of course, the great replacement.
00:19:52.000 They're trying to replace us demographically.
00:19:55.000 They're trying to make the country less white. 0.97
00:19:57.000 They're trying to make the country more like the third world, the dumping ground of the planet is the United States southern border.
00:20:04.000 And the secret is out. 0.87
00:20:05.000 The rapists, the thugs, the murderers, fighting-age males, they're coming from across the world, from China, from Russia, from Middle Eastern countries. 0.84
00:20:13.000 And they're coming in and they're coming in and they're coming in and they're coming in. 0.95
00:20:16.000 And Speaker Johnson does nothing.
00:20:18.000 It is an anti-white agenda. 0.98
00:20:21.000 And there's another story where the only reasonable explanation you would do something like this is because you hate white people. 0.89
00:20:29.000 And some people say, oh, Charlie, come on, there's other reasons why they want the border policy. 0.74
00:20:32.000 No, no, no.
00:20:33.000 If you read their literature, you spend time around them, the contempt, the resentment that the left-wing ruling class has for white Anglo-Saxon Protestant males is real.
00:20:45.000 Even beyond that, they can't win the white vote. 0.73
00:20:48.000 No matter how hard they try, you look at the white vote, they can't win it. 0.98
00:20:52.000 They lost it by 20 and 17% in the last two presidential races.
00:20:56.000 They can't win it.
00:20:57.000 And so how do you win over white voters?
00:21:00.000 You don't.
00:21:00.000 You just bring in more third worlders and you dilute, aka, replace them.
00:21:06.000 And it's not just happening on the border.
00:21:07.000 As if they want to just remind you they're in charge, they go after one of America's great icons.
00:21:15.000 And again, we warned against this.
00:21:16.000 We warned against it.
00:21:18.000 And all these weak Republicans, these vichy French conservatives that were, oh, well, I guess we should take down the Confederate statues. 0.99
00:21:26.000 Oh, sure. 0.85
00:21:26.000 Yeah, you know, we should rename the military bases worthless, weak, spineless. 0.85
00:21:31.000 And we said, okay, first of all, that shouldn't happen.
00:21:33.000 What are you going to do when they take down George Washington?
00:21:35.000 Oh, they would never take that down.
00:21:37.000 What are you going to do when they take down Abraham Lincoln?
00:21:39.000 Oh, they never would.
00:21:40.000 Or what are they going to do when they take down William Penn?
00:21:43.000 So they've taken down George Washington.
00:21:45.000 They've taken down Abraham Lincoln.
00:21:47.000 This is the federal government that's doing this, by the way.
00:21:51.000 William Penn, look at this statue, 11 and 13, statues being taken down.
00:21:57.000 William Penn was a white, English-speaking, great man.
00:22:02.000 He helped build America.
00:22:03.000 The state of Pennsylvania is named after him.
00:22:07.000 He wasn't some Latino illegal immigrant. 0.84
00:22:09.000 He wasn't some trans woman of color.
00:22:12.000 It was a white, English Quaker who was a moral pioneer, basically totally blameless. 0.84
00:22:20.000 Did William Penn traffic slaves into the country?
00:22:23.000 Penn was 200 years ahead of his time in supporting democratic elections, freedom of religion.
00:22:29.000 He was totally fair and honest in all of his dealings.
00:22:33.000 So what is his crime?
00:22:36.000 He never broke a treaty with the Indians.
00:22:39.000 What is the great crime of William Penn?
00:22:41.000 Well, Joe Biden and his government that is actually doing this say they want to make sure people feel comfortable, that this is a symbol that no one feels uncomfortable.
00:22:50.000 And his government thugs and gangsters and goons are taking down William Penn.
00:22:56.000 And I want you to just, can you put up 11, please?
00:23:01.000 11 is showing that that right there is the same thing that's happening on the southern border.
00:23:05.000 They are replacing William Penn.
00:23:08.000 What are they going to put up?
00:23:09.000 Some Angela Davis statue?
00:23:11.000 They're going to put up a statue of Alexander Ecasio-Cortez or Harvey Milk?
00:23:16.000 Let me ask you a question.
00:23:18.000 Who is of greater moral accomplishment, Harvey Milk or William Penn?
00:23:25.000 I'll let Blake answer that question in the chat.
00:23:28.000 Harvey Milk, they do all these sorts of parades and they have statues and they have movies honoring this guy.
00:23:35.000 William Penn, gone.
00:23:36.000 Abraham Lincoln, gone.
00:23:39.000 By the way, there's a lot of nonsense when it comes to Harvey Milk.
00:23:44.000 A lot.
00:23:44.000 I want to make sure I get my facts right so I don't speak incorrectly, but let's just say he's not exactly somebody that I think we should be honoring.
00:23:52.000 Oh, but he was gay. 0.97
00:23:53.000 He was a gay activist and he was terrific.
00:23:55.000 And he was, no, he was not. 0.62
00:23:58.000 And then Martin Luther King Jr., we're going to be hitting him next week.
00:24:01.000 Yeah, on the day of the Iowa caucus, it's MLK Day. 0.96
00:24:04.000 We're going to do the thing you're not supposed to do.
00:24:05.000 We're going to tell the truth about MLK Jr.
00:24:07.000 So you better tune in next week.
00:24:08.000 Blake is already preparing it.
00:24:09.000 It's going to be great.
00:24:10.000 William Penn was a great man who founded the country.
00:24:16.000 He's one of the lesser-known founding fathers.
00:24:18.000 You got to take him off.
00:24:20.000 Take him off because the great replacement is multi-institutional.
00:24:26.000 And this is all happening in the Park Service.
00:24:29.000 So it was a National Park Service.
00:24:30.000 The Park Service is removing William Penn, Park Service, to remove the statue of William Penn from Philadelphia Park to replace it with more inclusive displays.
00:24:43.000 Inclusive displays?
00:24:45.000 This is DEI.
00:24:47.000 This is the open border. 0.95
00:24:49.000 This is the anti-white, anti-Western, anti-Christian, anti-Quaker agenda. 0.77
00:24:54.000 The same thing happening on the southern border is happening with William Penn.
00:24:59.000 And this is not just some random activist.
00:25:01.000 This has to be approved by the president of the United States.
00:25:07.000 This is Joe Biden.
00:25:08.000 This is not some local mayor.
00:25:10.000 This is not just some local bureaucrat.
00:25:12.000 This is the National Park Service.
00:25:14.000 Joe Biden could come in and say yes or say no.
00:25:18.000 National Park Service seeks input on plan to remove the statue of William Penn from the site of his Philadelphia home.
00:25:26.000 Gone.
00:25:27.000 Removed.
00:25:28.000 Canceled.
00:25:30.000 The National Park Service says we now need input on the Welcome Park rehabilitation.
00:25:36.000 The people we should be calling villains, we call heroes.
00:25:40.000 And the people that we should be calling heroes, we call villains.
00:25:44.000 And what is the explanation, by the way?
00:25:46.000 I have read at least 10 or 12 articles about this William Penn thing.
00:25:52.000 I've scoured the internet for anyone to tell me, anyone to tell me the explanation why you're taking down William Penn.
00:26:01.000 And there is no explanation.
00:26:04.000 There is not an explanation.
00:26:06.000 Instead, they just say they want people to feel more inclusive.
00:26:08.000 What the fresh heck does that mean?
00:26:10.000 More inclusive. 0.91
00:26:12.000 Oh, you want a country where white men are not remembered as heroes.
00:26:17.000 And I've said this and they mock the snot out of me.
00:26:21.000 They will go after Mount Rushmore if we do not stop them.
00:26:26.000 No joke.
00:26:28.000 In fact, some of the people on Mount Rushmore had a far more peppered and checkered history than William Penn.
00:26:37.000 That is a fact.
00:26:38.000 By the way, they all deserve to be on Mount Rushmore, every single one of them, amazing men.
00:26:42.000 But if you were to take the life of Thomas Jefferson, the life of William Penn, Thomas Jefferson, you got some stuff to navigate.
00:26:48.000 Total hero, brilliant inventor, writer.
00:26:52.000 But William Penn, I mean, you could not have picked somebody with a stronger moral record, but that means nothing for the left.
00:27:03.000 He looks bad.
00:27:05.000 He's white.
00:27:06.000 And he represents a colonialist part of the country.
00:27:09.000 You see what's going on here?
00:27:10.000 They do not want you to have the icons, the symbols, or the attachment to the history before.
00:27:17.000 This was one of the priorities of the culture revolution of Mao Sedung.
00:27:22.000 Take down the statues that the generation could feel attached to.
00:27:29.000 They want to re-found the country.
00:27:32.000 And how do you do that?
00:27:34.000 You take down Washington.
00:27:36.000 You take down Lincoln.
00:27:37.000 You take down Roosevelt.
00:27:40.000 You take down William Penn.
00:27:43.000 And you simultaneously do that.
00:27:45.000 What started as just statues in the summer of Floyd-Palooza played right into their border policy and vice versa.
00:27:54.000 The border is completely wide open.
00:27:56.000 And the same way that they're trying to replace via the southern border, they're doing this.
00:28:00.000 And we're just supposed to sit idly by.
00:28:02.000 And by the way, they just did this to a they just did this at a cemetery, national cemetery, for a statue that was about reconciliation.
00:28:14.000 And they have to remove that because it's racist, Civil War era.
00:28:19.000 You cease to be a country when you lose your patriotic heritage history.
00:28:24.000 And it's drip by drip by drip by drip.
00:28:28.000 How long until they rename the state of Pennsylvania?
00:28:31.000 I'm not kidding.
00:28:31.000 By the way, can you guys get the Minnesota new flag and the Somali flag?
00:28:35.000 I want to talk about this.
00:28:37.000 And you want to talk about a replacement.
00:28:38.000 You want to talk about being conquered?
00:28:40.000 We actually didn't, this happened over at Amfest. 0.95
00:28:43.000 The goal is to destroy Western civilization, get rid of anything that the white man might have been responsible for. 0.97
00:28:50.000 Anything. 1.00
00:28:51.000 Burn it to the ground. 1.00
00:28:52.000 These people are cultural and civilizational arsonists. 1.00
00:28:56.000 And they won't stop unless we stop them.
00:29:02.000 So one of the proposed flags was very, very similar to the Somali flag.
00:29:07.000 Go to this one, cut 19 up.
00:29:09.000 Old flag, new flag.
00:29:11.000 And this one didn't win.
00:29:13.000 However, put up the puntland state of Somali flag.
00:29:18.000 Do we have that?
00:29:19.000 How similar it is?
00:29:20.000 Now, why on earth would the Somali flag be even under consideration or something close to it?
00:29:25.000 Because they have brought in hundreds of thousands of people from the third world that have effectively taken over Minnesota. 1.00
00:29:32.000 They've taken over Minneapolis.
00:29:33.000 The state is unrecognizable.
00:29:35.000 Unrecognizable.
00:29:37.000 The official Somali flag is 16, actually, which actually does have some similarities to what they agreed upon.
00:29:45.000 That's the Somali flag.
00:29:47.000 Somali is a beacon of liberty, isn't it?
00:29:49.000 It's a great spot.
00:29:50.000 They want to change this country because they've been taught from every single possible approach that this nation is evil in elementary schools, in middle schools, in high schools, in colleges, in media, on Netflix, on Hulu, on TikTok.
00:30:09.000 It is fashionable to hate the country.
00:30:11.000 So let me tie this all together because the William Penn thing really fires me up.
00:30:16.000 By the way, you know what Speaker Johnson should do today?
00:30:19.000 He should say, we're not funding the National Park Service.
00:30:22.000 Deal's dead.
00:30:24.000 That would be leadership.
00:30:25.000 Just say it.
00:30:26.000 You're Speaker of the House.
00:30:27.000 You're third in charge of the presidency.
00:30:29.000 Just go out and say it.
00:30:30.000 Tweet it out.
00:30:30.000 Say, I'm so bothered by this William Penn thing, we're defunding the National Park Service unless the statue remains.
00:30:37.000 Put up a little fight, man.
00:30:39.000 I would applaud you.
00:30:41.000 No, we're just supposed to take this.
00:30:43.000 Why are you funding the National Park Service after this?
00:30:46.000 Figure it out.
00:30:47.000 Oh, no, no, we're just supposed to.
00:30:48.000 And by the way, if I have to hear this one more time, I'm not, by the way, this election matters a ton, a ton.
00:30:54.000 By the way, we're one week out from the Iowa caucus.
00:30:56.000 Can you believe it?
00:30:57.000 It's one of the sleepiest primaries in the history.
00:31:00.000 Waste of money, hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:31:02.000 We're going to focus on that later.
00:31:04.000 That gets me so fired up.
00:31:06.000 But Speaker Johnson, he keeps on saying, well, we need more power.
00:31:10.000 We need more power.
00:31:11.000 We need more power.
00:31:12.000 I hear this from them every single time.
00:31:14.000 You're right, the majority is thin.
00:31:16.000 Totally acknowledge it.
00:31:16.000 Moderates.
00:31:18.000 Leaders put together factions and put a goal forward.
00:31:22.000 And the goal for DC Republicans is aversion of responsibility.
00:31:29.000 How can I dodge doing anything meaningful?
00:31:32.000 How can I get out of the way from actually having to govern the country?
00:31:39.000 And one of the reasons why Donald Trump is going to win the primary very quickly is that it's so hard to find anybody that stands against the conventional business as usual modus operandi of Washington, D.C.
00:31:55.000 So hard to find.
00:31:58.000 Instead, we get Republican leaders that act exactly the same.
00:32:02.000 I mean, Joe Biden is praising Speaker Johnson.
00:32:05.000 Doesn't that bother you?
00:32:07.000 That the Speaker of the Republican House is getting compliments time and time again from Joe Biden.
00:32:13.000 Oh, this bipartisan thing is really great and it's really terrific.
00:32:18.000 Do they ever give us an inch?
00:32:19.000 Of course not.
00:32:21.000 Instead, we are the ones that are always giving to them.
00:32:26.000 And understand the William Penn statue, it's all towards the steps to nullify the Constitution.
00:32:33.000 It's all part of it.
00:32:34.000 The border is towards the nullification of the Constitution.
00:32:37.000 The Penn thing is somewhat symbolic, but it's actually very real because symbols matter.
00:32:43.000 And when people say it's just symbolic, I know what they mean and I totally agree.
00:32:46.000 But symbols are not insignificant.
00:32:48.000 You need symbols or else you don't have a country.
00:32:50.000 That's why you have a flag.
00:32:51.000 That's why you have coins.
00:32:52.000 That's why you have currency.
00:32:54.000 You need something to attach yourself to.
00:32:56.000 You need something that is revered, something that is holy.
00:32:59.000 I don't even mean in the religious sense, just something that is separate, something that is elevated, like a statue.
00:33:04.000 Like, oh, wow, this guy did something.
00:33:05.000 This guy left something behind.
00:33:07.000 This guy was born into a world where America really didn't exist and he left a world of religious freedom and liberty and of alliances with the Indians.
00:33:14.000 And he was a Quaker and he was a pacifist.
00:33:16.000 And it's pretty cool.
00:33:16.000 Maybe I could have a life like that.
00:33:18.000 No, instead, the people that are taking down the statue of William Penn will never do something even fractionally as important as William Penn.
00:33:25.000 That's the way this always works, is the people that take down the statues will never do something heroic or bold or beautiful or courageous because it takes no talent to take down statues.
00:33:34.000 For any of you that have kids, you know it takes no skill to destroy.
00:33:37.000 It takes a lot of skill to build, a lot.
00:33:40.000 Destroying is kind of normal.
00:33:41.000 Just throw it down, break, tear it apart.
00:33:46.000 It takes maturation.
00:33:47.000 It takes leadership to build something.
00:33:52.000 And what we are begging for, which is why we have so much anger towards Speaker Johnson, aka Joe Biden's new vice president, is we want an opposition party.
00:34:04.000 We want somebody to stand for us, stand for decency, and stand for the promise of 1776, not a brave new world.
