The Megyn Kelly Show - Explosive New Biden Corruption Allegations, Disney's Woke Implosion, and White House Cocaine Update, with Charlie Kirk

00:00:00.360 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, your home for open, honest, and provocative conversations.

00:00:11.480 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.

00:00:15.200 Potentially explosive news breaking overnight by The New York Post's Miranda Devine,

00:00:21.760 related to the corruption investigation into Hunter and Joe Biden.

00:00:25.360 The Post dropping a 14-minute video obtained by Miranda, by their reporters,

00:00:33.240 and it was made by a man named Dr. Gal Luft.

00:00:37.520 According to The Post, Luft is an Israeli professor and a former Israeli army officer

00:00:43.460 who was working with the Chinese energy company CEFC at the same time of the CEFC's dealings with the Biden family.

00:00:52.160 All right, so this guy's working with this Chinese company at the same time the Chinese company

00:00:57.460 is in tight with certain members of the Biden family.

00:01:01.300 So he knows information. He knows about the CEFC's relationship with the Bidens.

00:01:07.020 According to The Post, Luft is someone with deep Washington ties who was apparently well-respected here in the States.

00:01:14.380 He once ran the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security.

00:01:17.220 For a long time he ran that with former CIA director James Woolsey as one of his top advisors,

00:01:23.520 not to mention some other very formal, very well-respected former government types.

00:01:29.160 And remember the witness, do you remember this, a month or so ago when House Oversight,

00:01:35.880 run by James Comer, Congressman James Comer, was talking about a whistleblower

00:01:40.400 who was providing information about the Bidens and their alleged corruption who suddenly went missing?

00:01:49.000 This is apparently that missing witness, Luft. This guy, Gal Luft.

00:01:52.740 This Israeli professor from this think tank.

00:01:55.320 All right, so now he's come forward.

00:01:56.780 He's on videotape and he is spilling, in large part, what it is he wanted us to know.

00:02:02.460 And he explains why he's not doing it in front of Congress, though he clearly would like to.

00:02:08.180 The video was filmed from an undisclosed location because Luft says he is on the run.

00:02:13.320 He says he may be on the run for the rest of his life.

00:02:16.780 Luft says that he was arrested in Cyprus in February.

00:02:21.640 He says he believes he was arrested, our DOJ is after him, to stop him from testifying

00:02:29.280 before James Comer's House Oversight Committee about the Bidens.

00:02:34.900 So he got arrested in February.

00:02:37.400 Apparently he posted bail, but he went on the run.

00:02:40.820 He jumped bail and he's been a fugitive since April.

00:02:44.920 Remember Comer said the whistleblower is missing.

00:02:47.000 He said that Maria Bartiromo.

00:02:49.680 Well, now he's resurfaced.

00:02:50.680 And the U.S. government is telling a very different story from the one we're hearing

00:02:55.240 from this guy, Luft.

00:02:56.640 The U.S. government says this guy's a criminal.

00:02:59.620 Luft denies it.

00:03:00.860 The U.S. government says Luft is an arms dealer and that they want him extradited to America

00:03:07.040 to face charges of conspiring to sell Chinese weapons to Kenya and several other countries.

00:03:14.260 He denies all of that.

00:03:15.180 He says that's that's just an attempt to smear him

00:03:18.660 so that we will not listen to him and he will lose credibility in his allegations against

00:03:23.420 the Bidens.

00:03:24.960 Our DOJ is accusing this guy of, in addition to the alleged arms dealing, violating the

00:03:30.760 Foreign Agents Registration Act, better known as Farah.

00:03:33.900 So as you can see, each side has very different versions of what's happening here.

00:03:39.260 But let's get to Luft's extraordinary video.

00:03:41.520 This is the first look the world has had of this guy at him.

00:03:45.540 First, here he is detailing why he says he's coming forward.

00:03:49.280 For the past 20 years, I have been the co-director of the Institute for the Analysis of Global

00:03:55.260 Security, a Washington-based think tank focused on energy security.

00:03:59.720 I was senior advisor to the China energy company CFC at the same time of its dealings with the

00:04:07.120 Biden family.

00:04:08.360 I want to be clear.

00:04:09.520 I'm not a Republican.

00:04:10.760 I'm not a Democrat.

00:04:12.100 I have no political motive or agenda.

00:04:14.360 I did it out of deep concern that if the Bidens were to come to power, the country would be

00:04:21.860 facing the same traumatic Russia collusion scandal, only this time with China.

00:04:28.420 The DOJ sent to Brussels a delegation of six people.

00:04:34.980 They knew very well that I'm a credible witness.

00:04:40.660 Okay, so he's had former contact with the DOJ.

00:04:43.580 They sent a bunch of FBI agents out there to go visit him under the Trump DOJ in 2019.

00:04:50.200 And we're going to get into the specific allegations Luft is making because it's confusing,

00:04:54.360 but we're going to walk you through it so you come to understand it.

00:04:56.820 Again, this is based on the New York Post and Miranda Devine's reporting.

00:05:01.160 Luft, in addition to this tape that he just dropped, Luft says he was going to testify that

00:05:06.520 the Biden family received payments from individuals with alleged ties to Chinese military intelligence.

00:05:13.580 Chinese military intelligence officials were funneling money to Hunter Biden, to Jim Biden.

00:05:18.780 That's Joe's brother.

00:05:19.780 And also that the Biden family had an FBI mole who shared classified information with certain

00:05:32.380 individuals at the CEFC.

00:05:36.300 Okay, so the Bidens had somebody inside the FBI who was giving information to this Chinese

00:05:41.760 company that would benefit this Chinese company.

00:05:46.060 That's an extraordinary allegation.

00:05:48.340 But there's there's an FBI mole for a former FBI guy or current FBI guy sharing information

00:05:53.300 with the Chinese because they're connected with the Bidens because the Bidens are asking them

00:05:57.660 to do it.

00:05:59.060 He describes a secret meeting in Brussels, March 2019.

00:06:03.960 Again, this is under the Trump administration, in which he claims that he disclosed to a variety

00:06:09.440 of agencies that CEFC, this Chinese company, was paying Hunter and Uncle Jim a ton of dough,

00:06:17.640 $100,000 a month to Hunter, $65,000 a month to his Uncle Jim in exchange for their FBI connections.

00:06:26.600 This is the Chinese wanting some FBI connections via the Bidens and also the use of the Biden name

00:06:32.360 to promote China's Belt and Road Initiative around the world.

00:06:35.420 He says this money didn't go directly to Jim and Hunter, but it went to them through a Biden

00:06:43.080 family associate named Rob Walker.

00:06:47.120 According to Luft, the DOJ, when he asked to meet with them back in 2019, sent a delegation

00:06:53.880 of six people, that's a lot, to meet with him in Brussels, four FBI agents, including, he

00:07:00.120 names names, Special Agent Joshua Wilson of the Baltimore Field Office.

00:07:05.140 Now, why do we mention him?

00:07:07.440 Because Joshua Wilson of the Baltimore Field Office was not only meeting, allegedly, with

00:07:12.280 Luft in Brussels in 2019.

00:07:16.300 He was the guy who would later handle the Hunter Biden laptop case.

00:07:20.980 I mean, it's all a very close circle of people.

00:07:25.360 It would make sense if the DOJ had this guy on the subject of Hunter looking into allegations

00:07:30.880 that Luft was making about Hunter's alleged corruption, that when the laptop surfaced,

00:07:35.900 which had a lot of evidence of alleged Hunter corruption on it, they would send the same guy.

00:07:41.280 I mean, that just makes sense from a case management perspective.

00:07:44.220 Also among the six were two prosecutors from the Southern District of New York.

00:07:49.000 Now, at this meeting in Brussels, Luft says, in addition to laying out that payment scheme,

00:07:56.000 100 grand a month to Hunter, the 65,000 to Uncle Jim, that he made another extraordinary

00:08:01.500 revelation about the existence of, this is straight out of a movie, quote, one eye, the mole

00:08:09.440 that Hunter allegedly had inside the FBI.

00:08:13.340 Over an intensive two-day meeting, I shared my information about the Biden family's financial

00:08:22.280 transactions with CFC, including specific dollar figures.

00:08:27.380 But perhaps the most alarming information I revealed was of a mole within the DOJ who shared

00:08:34.260 classified information with Hunter Biden and his Chinese partners.

00:08:37.520 I told the DOJ that Hunter was closely associated with a very senior retired FBI official who

00:08:46.680 had distinct physical characteristics.

00:08:49.740 He had one eye.

00:08:50.860 The FBI knew about, from me, about the Biden CFC deals before they got hold of the laptop,

00:08:59.940 way before.

00:09:00.440 Over the past four years that followed, me, my family, my friends, my associates were all

00:09:07.480 harassed, intimidated, and finally, I was prosecuted.

00:09:11.460 Who is this one eye at the FBI?

00:09:16.400 Well, there's plenty of speculation online.

00:09:18.620 There's a very well-known person at the FBI who only has one eye, former director.

00:09:23.420 But we're going to wait for more information to come out.

00:09:26.140 We have no idea who specifically may be inside the FBI with just one eye, former or current.

00:09:34.140 Now, Luft is challenging the FBI and the DOJ to release the evidence they have against him.

00:09:41.460 Why won't the DOJ make my indictment public?

00:09:46.000 Do it.

00:09:47.300 Make my day.

00:09:48.140 Put it on your website so that every American can see the nature of the allegations against

00:09:53.480 me, the quality of the evidence, and the length the government is willing to go to weaponize

00:09:59.140 the justice system to punish whistleblowers like me.

00:10:04.300 Submit to Congress the minutes from the Brussels meeting.

00:10:08.960 Let everybody see what happened in Brussels.

00:10:13.240 And why did the DOJ choose to unseal the indictment on November 1st, 2022, the very same week of

00:10:23.800 the midterm elections?

00:10:25.500 Could this have anything to do with the fact or the fear that once Republicans gain control

00:10:30.600 over Congress and begin to investigate, their cover-up would be in full display?

00:10:35.360 And perhaps the biggest question of all, why am I being indicted for FARA when the mother

00:10:41.980 of all FARA cases, the Biden's systemic influence peddling on behalf of foreign governments for

00:10:47.720 which they raked millions, goes unpunished?

00:10:50.940 Joining us now to talk about this and more, happy to welcome back to the show, Charlie Kirk,

00:10:57.880 founder and CEO of Turning Point USA and host of The Charlie Kirk Show.

00:11:02.180 I mean, this is just extraordinary.

00:11:03.720 And I've got to give a tip of the hat to Miranda Devine, who's been breaking news on this.

00:11:07.820 She's been the person breaking all this news for months now.

00:11:10.720 But this is the first we've seen of the actual guy putting a name out there, putting his face

00:11:15.700 out there, his voice on camera, admitting he's a fugitive from just my God, Charlie.

00:11:20.360 I mean, what do you make of this extraordinary story?

00:11:23.460 Well, first of all, it's just still putting all this together.

00:11:25.580 It's a little confusing for people to do this for a living, even if you have to dive into

00:11:29.360 all this.

00:11:29.940 First of all, I think it's really noteworthy.

00:11:32.300 You have 35,000 people that work for the FBI and the same 10 agents keep on popping up.

00:11:37.140 The same 10 people that are handling all the cases.

00:11:39.720 It reminds me of Peter Strzok and Lisa Page and the same sort of cast of characters we

00:11:44.780 saw five or six years ago, where are these people investigating crimes or are they covering

00:11:49.880 up crimes?

00:11:50.560 But I think the timeline here is one of the most important pieces of information that

00:11:54.360 I want to focus on, which remember, Joe Biden was not supposed to be the Democrat candidate.

00:11:59.500 In fact, he finished fifth in Iowa and fourth in New Hampshire.

00:12:03.260 He was an afterthought.

00:12:04.780 And Bernie Sanders, however, was ascending.

00:12:07.220 Remember, this was right before the COVID hysteria and in almost an overnight panic, they reset

00:12:12.880 the Democrat primary and they basically anointed Joe Biden.

00:12:16.580 They got him Clyburn's endorsement and the whole country shut down and Joe Biden just kind

00:12:21.160 of glided to the nomination by mistake.

00:12:23.640 And you look at this, you look at this, these allegations from Dr. Luft, the timing here in

00:12:30.740 2019, he was sharing all this with the FBI.

00:12:33.900 He was sharing this with the Department of Justice.

00:12:35.840 Nobody actually thought Joe Biden was eventually going to become the nominee or become president.

00:12:41.740 And now there's this extraordinary pattern of not just foreign corruption, but possibly

00:12:47.160 some other very heavy, you know, serious federal crimes that might have been violated here.

00:12:51.520 We're talking about millions of dollars that were funneled to this family routinely year

00:12:57.020 after year.

00:12:57.700 And what is very clear now is the people in Washington, D.C., Department of Justice and

00:13:03.260 the FBI, they're actively involved and not just covering this up, but trying to spin this

00:13:09.560 in a way to try to deemphasize what was in a panic to implement Joe Biden as the nominee

00:13:15.300 of the Democrat primary in 2020.

00:13:17.880 Because if you remember, Donald Trump looked unbeatable.

00:13:21.240 The economy was roaring.

00:13:23.200 The country was in a really strong and stable place.

00:13:25.720 COVID came, locked down the country.

00:13:27.780 And they just said, oh, this Biden guy, I guess, can help us out.

00:13:30.600 But they said they had to swallow the pill metaphorically and say, I guess there's all

00:13:35.520 this corruption stuff.

00:13:36.460 I don't even think they realized how bad this actually was.

00:13:39.520 And we're not even talking about the active interference on behalf of Joe Biden with his

00:13:45.440 son Hunter when it comes to the IRS whistleblower case.

00:13:49.340 This is a whole new development.

00:13:51.620 And I want to also emphasize one other thing, which is if Dr.

00:13:55.560 Luft is telling the truth with the CEFC, this means that the Department of Justice has been

00:14:01.100 sitting on this information for three and a half to four years.

00:14:05.360 And they have the wherewithal to indict him for Foreign Agent Representation Act violations,

00:14:12.380 a 1930s era law that is trying to be used for representing foreign governments.

00:14:17.780 When Hunter himself, we have him sending text messages to foreign nationals to say, hey,

00:14:22.260 if you don't send me money or send us money, I'm sitting here with my father.

00:14:26.100 And boom, within 48 hours, he gets a $5 million wire transfer.

00:14:30.500 Miranda Devine deserves great credit.

00:14:31.900 This is very confusing in some sense, but the pattern is very clear that Joe Biden was

00:14:37.200 never supposed to be president.

00:14:38.840 And now he is.

00:14:40.160 And this this record, this pattern of corruption is unlike anything we've ever seen as from

00:14:46.200 a president United States.

00:14:47.820 It is.

00:14:48.400 That's absolutely true.

00:14:49.680 It is incredibly confusing.

00:14:51.120 But at its base, what this guy is alleging is that before Joe Biden had even announced

00:14:56.960 his run for the presidency, he was in contact with our DOJ saying, you need to be aware that

00:15:04.880 your former vice president, his brother and his son are involved in a corrupt scheme with

00:15:11.400 the Chinese.

00:15:12.020 I am going to tell you this, I who have been in partnership with a former CIA director

00:15:16.900 in my think tank in Washington, you know me, you know, I'm a trustworthy guy.

00:15:21.840 I want you to know this guy's been compromised.

00:15:24.220 His family's been compromised and you should look into it and that nothing ever came in the

00:15:28.760 meeting.

00:15:29.040 So this is under the Trump DOJ.

00:15:31.220 Yes, that that should be noted, though.

00:15:33.120 You've got career civil servants in the in the DOJ who are not loyal to Trump, who, you

00:15:38.480 know, we I'm not sure who was involved in this or what their politics were specifically,

00:15:42.160 but just a point of caution and nothing ever comes of it.

00:15:46.340 And then the next thing this guy knows, he says he asked his lawyer, this guy who just

00:15:52.060 listened to, Luft, says to his lawyer in 2020, right around the time the laptop was

00:15:56.220 discovered, have a meeting with them, reach out to the FBI again.

00:15:59.220 Like, what's going on?

00:16:00.280 It's been this time.

00:16:00.920 They haven't done anything.

00:16:02.220 And nothing ever came in that meeting either.

00:16:04.840 The next thing he knows, he says he gets arrested and accused of being an arms dealer.

00:16:09.040 Now, I will say an alternate reality could be this guy knew he was in some sort of trouble,

00:16:14.300 but they were sniffing around him and he decided to make himself look like a whistleblower

00:16:20.560 and sort of set himself up to say, oh, look, I'm being unfairly targeted.

00:16:24.220 That is very possible.

00:16:26.940 And we just don't know because he's on the lam now, Charlie Comer hasn't been able to

00:16:31.840 get him in there.

00:16:33.020 I don't think this Biden DOJ is going to do much to actually track him down.

00:16:36.600 And if they do, are we really going to get a fair hearing?

00:16:40.000 I mean, he's got a legitimate point that in a New York courtroom where, you know, he's

00:16:44.860 already pointing to other cases where they weren't even allowed to mention the Biden family

00:16:48.520 name is like the reason they're being prosecuted.

00:16:50.640 He's not going to be able to mention any of this stuff.

00:16:55.040 No, that's exactly right.

00:16:56.760 And but by the way, all the media is focused on right now is that Donald Trump had documents

00:17:01.660 in boxes, right?

00:17:03.200 I mean, you wonder why half the country has this volcanic resentment towards Washington,

00:17:10.100 D.C.

00:17:10.520 is they see their candidate of preferred choice that they ideologically align with Donald

00:17:15.760 Trump under 45 to 50 count indictments.

00:17:19.140 Meanwhile, this evidence just keeps on mounting and mounting and mounting.

00:17:22.760 And we don't even know the extent of all these different deals.

00:17:26.080 Remember, there's like five or six different allegations that are happening that have a little

00:17:30.060 bit of a rhythm to them, which is the Bidens didn't offer any service except their access

00:17:35.960 and proximity.

00:17:37.280 And Megan, when you read out the allegation from Dr.

00:17:40.860 Luft, it's important.

00:17:41.940 This is a new wrinkle that they were auctioning off basically access to FBI agents.

00:17:47.420 That's new that they kind of have not just informants in the FBI.

00:17:51.940 They were kind of saying a wink and a nod like, hey, if you want preferential treatment, you

00:17:56.360 got to put us on retainer.

00:17:58.000 One hundred thousand dollars a month and we can make sure we can navigate the FBI for you.

00:18:02.640 It makes you wonder when Joe Biden was vice president of the United States, was he setting

00:18:07.200 up pieces of the government to be auctioned off at a future date and time to be able to

00:18:12.940 be monetized by his son?

00:18:14.220 It really makes you wonder what they were doing those last couple of months of the Obama

00:18:18.540 presidency in 2015 and 16 before they left office.

00:18:22.660 They were probably putting people in loyal soldiers, loyal infantrymen of the Biden family

00:18:28.880 so that they could then go to foreign adversaries and say, hey, you know, we can help

00:18:32.140 you, but it's going to pay.

00:18:33.640 This is the way that third world governments operate, by the way.

00:18:36.020 And it's not even a joke.

00:18:37.140 I mean, if you land in a third world country, you know, it's just pay for play, right?

00:18:40.480 From the moment that you land, it's who you know, how you know them.

00:18:43.860 You have to just kind of grease the wheels and you keep on going.

00:18:46.580 This is exactly how the Biden set up their family enrichment scheme.

00:18:50.480 And this does not even touch the surface of the active covering up that is going on right

00:18:55.860 now with the IRS whistleblower case.

00:18:59.060 What was Merrick Garland's involvement, the Weiss's involvement or not involvement?

00:19:03.860 Was he taking orders?

00:19:05.340 And so it really makes you wonder, is there going to be a breaking point to all this?

00:19:09.980 That remains to be seen.

00:19:11.460 But it doesn't help the case that this Department of Justice is going after the opposition candidate,

00:19:19.440 the leading opposition candidate and former president with such ferocity while completely

00:19:24.740 ignoring the now repeated pattern of crimes of the incumbent president.

00:19:29.280 It's it's truly stunning.

00:19:32.560 But I mean, look, I want to put it out there that there is a former FBI director who's close

00:19:38.740 with the Bidens, who's made donations to the Bidens and otherwise named Louis Free.

00:19:42.840 But he was out of office as of 2001, I believe, and would not have been at the FBI at the time

00:19:49.260 that these CFC people were looking for information and some have been indicted and actually convicted

00:19:54.520 over here.

00:19:55.400 He was not inside the FBI.

00:19:56.860 So just to I don't know what that means or doesn't mean it, just just so the audience

00:20:01.820 understands, it doesn't mean he didn't still have connections there.

00:20:05.320 Doesn't mean he might not have been helping anybody.

00:20:07.440 We just don't know.

00:20:08.300 I'm just trying to address some of the speculation here.

00:20:11.040 The problem I have is that the media is going to ignore this story.

00:20:14.400 Miranda reported a lot of this a couple of months ago.

00:20:18.180 She had clearly, I think, been in touch with this doctor left or somebody near him and was

00:20:23.380 breaking this news.

00:20:24.160 And it's been utterly ignored.

00:20:25.480 The only thing that's really new now is the allegations about one eye inside the FBI and

00:20:30.600 more explicitly and the video of the guy directly saying he's being persecuted, he's been

00:20:36.380 arrested, he's or he's been, you know, and now he's on the run permanently and identifying

00:20:41.420 himself as Comer's whistleblower who's gone dark.

00:20:44.920 And we don't know whether Comer will ever speak to him or or not.

00:20:47.640 And if he doesn't, this goes nowhere.

00:20:50.440 I mean, if he doesn't actually come in and give testimony, it's not going to go anywhere,

00:20:53.740 which is really unfortunate because, you know, this this would be a huge story, Charlie.

00:20:59.520 If if the guy being accused was named Donald Trump, this is like an actual witness making

00:21:05.820 actual allegations, not just FBI agents making shit up like we saw in the in the Trump case.

00:21:12.520 Yeah.

00:21:12.680 And this is an existential question of do we still have some form of justice?

00:21:16.860 And, you know, I'm asked by reporters all the time, Megan.

00:21:19.140 I was just talking to one from The Washington Post recently.

00:21:21.700 They said, well, why do Trump voters not trust the government and Department of Justice?

00:21:26.180 Like they were super curious as if they were investigating a question they couldn't find

00:21:29.980 an answer to.

00:21:30.680 I'm like, oh, really?

00:21:31.620 How about this?

00:21:32.160 They used the instruments of government for multiple years, Crossfire Hurricane, we're

00:21:37.720 not going to let him become president, the fake Russia hoax, Bob Mueller, four years to

00:21:42.820 disrupt and thwart a duly elected president, all the while to cover up and ignore the outright

00:21:49.220 crimes of an entire Democrat crime syndicate, whether it be destroying evidence of Hillary

00:21:53.740 Clinton, foreign influence, peddling of the Bidens, pick your crime, any crime.

00:21:57.720 And then they have to see their candidate that they have an attachment to be arraigned, not

00:22:03.580 just in New York, by the federal government and probably more charges looming.

00:22:07.140 Yeah, there's there's going to be a sense of mass injustice.

00:22:10.700 And so, Megan, I'm not here to try to say, yeah, you know, I want to see the Biden family,

00:22:15.700 quote unquote, suffer.

00:22:16.880 I mean, I have I would love to see justice be administered.

00:22:19.480 But this is so deeply damaging to the nation if they don't have any sort of criminal penalty

00:22:26.300 for what they've done.

00:22:27.120 And I don't think the Democrats have really thought through what this means.

00:22:30.540 I don't think they really care.

00:22:31.660 I just think they hate half the country so much.

00:22:34.980 They have such contempt for them that the ends justify the means to such a severe extent.

00:22:40.240 But the amount of cynicism, Megan, that I am getting from the Republican base, understandable,

00:22:46.740 by the way, I'm right there with them towards our federal Department of Justice, towards the

00:22:51.400 FBI, towards just the regime of Washington, D.C.

00:22:55.260 I don't see any way to remedy this at all, because it's it doesn't just feel like it.

00:23:00.720 It is this way, that if you have a certain form of politics and if you have certain views

00:23:05.940 that do not align in perfect harmony with the uniparty of Washington, D.C., then you better

00:23:12.280 lawyer up because there's a 50 50 chance you're going to jail for the rest of your life, whether

00:23:16.380 your name is Dinesh D'Souza, Steve.

00:23:19.340 Yeah.

00:23:19.800 Sorry.

00:23:20.140 Sorry.

00:23:20.720 Yeah.

00:23:21.200 No, no, no.

00:23:21.640 That's correct.

00:23:22.500 They'll absolutely ruin you.

00:23:23.580 And if they can't ruin you criminally, then they'll censor you.

00:23:27.060 They'll get you shut down.

00:23:27.880 They get you deplatformed.

00:23:28.880 That's right.

00:23:29.220 They'll find a way of silencing you, whether it's behind bars or behind some censorship

00:23:33.520 wall, which we'll get to in one second.

00:23:35.980 I want to point out one thing.

00:23:37.860 We've mentioned Hunter Biden.

00:23:39.200 We've mentioned mentioned Jim Biden.

00:23:41.000 That's problematic enough that I mean, these are his closest family members around him

00:23:45.940 potentially compromised.

00:23:46.800 But the whistleblower here, Dr. Luft, is alleging that Joe Biden himself attended a meeting shortly

00:23:54.540 after his vice presidential term ended at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, D.C., with

00:23:59.400 his son, Hunter and with officials from CEFC, that Joe Biden himself, who said he never did

00:24:04.840 business or even discussed business with his son, Hunter, what is what the Hunter was doing,

00:24:08.780 that he was there, that Hunter was there and that CEFC officials were there.

00:24:12.480 The New York Post reports that that allegation by Dr. Luft was, quote, corroborated when the

00:24:19.360 FBI interviewed another attendee, Biden family associate Rob Walker.

00:24:26.020 So the FBI went on to interview Rob Walker.

00:24:29.640 That's the one through whom the payments were allegedly made, the $100,000 a month to Hunter,

00:24:34.400 the $65,000 to Jim after this meeting.

00:24:36.860 And the FBI did interview this guy, Rob Walker, who apparently told the FBI it's true.

00:24:43.680 Joe Biden sat there with Hunter Biden, with CEFC officials, and they had this discussion.

00:24:48.260 So that all needs to be looked into.

00:24:51.060 I'm not saying I don't know whether it's true or not true, but that's that all needs to be

00:24:53.800 looked into because now you're talking about Joe Biden himself sitting there cutting this

00:24:57.240 deal.

00:24:57.640 Yes.

00:24:57.940 Not just the corrupt son and brother.

00:25:00.340 Well, and right now there are top level meetings happening in Beijing between Biden officials in

00:25:07.840 China talking about, you know, debt deals and trade negotiations.

00:25:13.220 You have to wonder, is there a part of the Biden administration's calculus or Joe Biden himself

00:25:20.380 where he feels he has a debt to pay?

00:25:22.500 Like, is current United States foreign policy or trade policy being impacted by these deals

00:25:28.600 that were struck at the Four Seasons?

00:25:30.020 I don't know.

00:25:30.880 But based on this pattern of outright corruption and wire transfers and Hunter Biden just demanding

00:25:37.020 payments from Chinese Communist Party officials saying, hey, you better pay me.

00:25:40.980 I'm sitting next to my father.

00:25:42.020 This is the highest of all the allegations that really concern me or the serious, most

00:25:46.780 seriousness, the heaviest of all of them, which is, OK, you sell out for access to the

00:25:51.600 government.

00:25:52.240 That's nothing new.

00:25:53.240 It's really damaging and awful.

00:25:55.980 But is current policy being impacted?

00:25:59.020 Are there current deals that are being administered or being struck that are being put forward because

00:26:05.460 of past cash payments that were made to the Biden family?

00:26:08.740 We don't know that.

00:26:09.620 And there is a Chinese expression, a Chinese Communist Party expression where they would

00:26:14.320 say you have little bad mouth, big help.

00:26:17.300 It doesn't translate perfectly.

00:26:18.920 But you might talk a good game against China, but you're a big help to the aims and the ambitions

00:26:23.560 of the Chinese Communist Party.

00:26:25.080 They call this elite capture.

00:26:27.740 And Peter Schweitzer has detailed this beautifully in his book where they will purchase, they will

00:26:32.340 invest in the American ruling class.

00:26:35.260 They can't believe how cheap it actually is, $5 million here, $10 million here.

00:26:39.960 And what do they get in return?

00:26:42.000 Uninterrupted expansion of their Belt and Road Initiative.

00:26:45.240 Zero recourse at all for what they did with COVID and the cover-up and the disappearing of

00:26:50.800 scientists and all the different corruption around there and the leak from the Wuhan Institute

00:26:55.500 of Virology.

00:26:56.080 And so right now, there are current negotiations happening in Beijing, makes you wonder if the

00:27:01.440 Biden administration's tone and their approach has been impacted by past deals that are now

00:27:07.100 just finally coming to light.

00:27:08.700 Most fascinating.

00:27:09.220 I mean, your point about COVID is well taken.

00:27:11.360 Look how reluctant the administration has been to actually get to the bottom of how this thing,

00:27:18.720 you know, this COVID virus got unleashed.

00:27:20.620 And, you know, diminishing reports about a lab leak and only forced to release the intel

00:27:24.780 when both houses of Congress demanded that he do so.

00:27:29.360 I want to I want to point this out.

00:27:32.420 This guy Luft says, again, after the laptop thing was exposed by The New York Post right

00:27:37.180 before the 2020 election, that he sent his Washington, Robert Hennock, to Washington to meet with the

00:27:44.760 Trump administration's then acting DAG, basically the second person in command over there, Deputy

00:27:49.300 Attorney General Richard Donahue, to again say to him that it was the Trump administration's,

00:27:54.740 you know, lawyers that they met with the first time he met with the first time in March of

00:27:58.380 2019.

00:27:58.800 But now we are here are October 2020 and he sends his lawyer to go meet with the DAG and

00:28:03.740 say, hello, hello.

00:28:05.540 You need to know you got this Hunter laptop.

00:28:08.400 You guys know it's real.

00:28:09.520 And I'm telling you and I've been telling you the guy is corrupt.

00:28:13.240 Why won't you listen to me?

00:28:14.880 And apparently the the the post reports that that Donahue, the DAG, agreed to meet with

00:28:23.220 Luft's attorney at a Starbucks near DOJ headquarters and they corresponded.

00:28:28.800 And Luft showed the post, the emails between his attorney, this guy, Hennock, and the DAG

00:28:35.900 that they were corresponding privately.

00:28:38.200 And Hennock wrote to our DOJ at the time, October 2020.

00:28:42.220 This story is about corruption at the very highest levels of government and politics.

00:28:47.860 And I think it can all be corroborated.

00:28:50.340 But nothing ever came of the meeting until February of this year when Dr. Luft was arrested.

00:28:57.340 Again, we don't know Dr. Luft.

00:28:59.460 We don't know whether he was already in trouble and was trying to style this whole thing as

00:29:02.920 a like, I'm being persecuted.

00:29:04.580 I have bad information.

00:29:05.500 That is also very possible.

00:29:07.080 But we need answers.

00:29:08.540 It's not enough to just say, ah, B.S., move on.

00:29:12.440 Nothing to see here.

00:29:13.200 This is too big to ignore.

00:29:15.020 I'll give you the last word on this one.

00:29:16.040 Well, no, especially, especially if they are actively trying to throw the leader of the

00:29:23.400 opposition party in jail for the rest of his life.

00:29:26.100 If that if the standard is now you're going to put the guy who is leading in the general

00:29:30.620 election polls and by 50 points in the primary polls in prison for 200 years, then, oh, yeah,

00:29:36.740 the gloves are off and we're going to look into every nook and cranny and exhaust every

00:29:40.960 option of the current leader of this regime, Joe Biden.

00:29:44.800 And there's plenty there.

00:29:46.560 What a crazy, crazy story.

00:29:48.640 I just like a one eye on like arms dealing.

00:29:51.920 I'm on the run for life.

00:29:53.140 I can't like I can't.

00:29:54.320 All right.

00:29:54.640 Stand by, Charlie, because there's much, much more to discuss.

00:29:56.580 Charlie Crick stays with us for the full show today.

00:29:59.000 We'll be right back.

00:30:04.200 So, Charlie, before we move off, Hunter, I want to update the other extraordinary allegations

00:30:09.280 against him, that the FBI, that the that the DOJ intentionally tanked the case against him

00:30:15.960 on his tax crimes, on his false application for a gun, alleging that he'd never been a

00:30:22.120 drug addict.

00:30:22.660 And there's been more information on that.

00:30:26.080 Now, there are two inside IRS whistleblowers who have come out to say that they were the

00:30:30.900 DOJ interfered in this case, that the that the the prosecutor who was involved and appointed

00:30:37.120 to investigate this was thwarted at every turn, stopped from bringing charges in California,

00:30:42.600 stopped from bringing charges in Washington, D.C., did not have the autonomy that he's now

00:30:47.340 claiming he had, did not have the autonomy that Merrick Garland is now claiming he had, that

00:30:51.320 the fix was in, is basically what they're saying.

00:30:53.940 And Abby Lowell is the lawyer for Hunter Biden.

00:30:57.300 He's come out and attacked the whistleblower.

00:31:00.180 He's come out and said these two are packs, basically, that they've got some sort of an

00:31:05.900 agenda.

00:31:07.100 And he suggested that Shapely, who's like the main guy who's who is running herd on this

00:31:13.680 investigation, that he says he and or the other as yet unnamed whistleblower who spoke

00:31:20.400 to Congress, may have been pushing false articles about Hunter for a long, long time.

00:31:26.120 He says there was an October 6th, 2022 Washington Post article that revealed prosecutors had,

00:31:32.220 quote, sufficient evidence to charge Hunter.

00:31:34.740 And Abby Lowell, Hunter's lawyer, is basically saying, how would they know that unless you spoke

00:31:38.700 to the press?

00:31:39.380 You've been you've been trying to get the press to turn on Hunter for a long time.

00:31:43.260 You have some sort of an agenda.

00:31:44.880 You're probably partisans.

00:31:46.260 And meanwhile, we have absolutely zero reason to believe that they're partisans.

00:31:50.300 In fact, the reports I've seen suggest they're both Democrats.

00:31:53.300 So if they're partisan in any one way, it would be in Hunter's favor.

00:31:56.740 And he points to this article in The Washington Post.

00:32:00.800 Well, now Shapley comes out and pushes back against Abby Lowell and says in an extraordinary

00:32:07.600 moment on July 5th in an affidavit, which means it's sworn testimony, written testimony to

00:32:13.040 the House Ways and Means Committee that he unequivocally swore he was not the source for

00:32:19.120 that Washington Post article.

00:32:21.160 I mean, this is not what you do when you're lying.

00:32:22.880 When you really are the source, you just say, I'm not the source.

00:32:26.600 And you move on.

00:32:27.600 This guy swore to it in testimony that could get him indicted if it's false.

00:32:32.960 And went on to say, I have never had any contact with the two reporters on that piece, stated

00:32:40.140 under oath that I have never leaked confidential taxpayer information, which is what he was accused

00:32:44.960 of doing by Hunter's lawyer, and then expressly authorized The Washington Post and its journalists,

00:32:52.180 any Washington Post journalist, to release any communications directly or indirectly with

00:32:58.280 me, agreeing to waive any purported journalistic privilege.

00:33:02.660 And then they also went to The Washington Post and asked them to correct these allegations

00:33:09.120 and to make clear that he was not the source.

00:33:12.200 So this guy has gone over above and beyond to try to dispute, to push back on this nonsense

00:33:19.360 allegation by Abby Lowell, Hunter's lawyer, that they've got an axe to grind and have been

00:33:23.380 releasing confidential information about Hunter for a long, long time.

00:33:25.900 I mean, I think it's a pretty clear case of Abby Lowell trying to throw whatever he can

00:33:30.960 to discredit these two whistleblowers.

00:33:34.900 And what malpractice from the media to platform it?

00:33:37.820 First of all, the media has been the biggest cheerleaders for illegal leaks over the last

00:33:41.820 couple of years.

00:33:43.220 Remember the IRS leaking Donald Trump's tax returns in October of 2020, right before the

00:33:49.680 presidential election?

00:33:50.500 Or how about the leaking of a private phone call that led to Donald Trump's impeachment

00:33:54.440 impeachment with Eric Schimarella, who said, oh, I don't like this phone call.

00:33:58.720 It led to the first impeachment of Donald Trump.

00:34:00.500 So we don't know who actually leaked this information.

00:34:02.600 But it's awfully rich to have the media platform these allegations from the lawyer of Hunter

00:34:09.000 Biden saying, oh, they're illegally leaking information.

00:34:11.840 I thought that's all you do in Washington, D.C.

00:34:14.140 is leak information against people you don't like.

00:34:16.460 Adam Schiff, I mean, the guy, every other briefing that Adam Schiff was involved in,

00:34:21.860 he would get in an Uber and go to MSNBC and just make stuff up and just say, well, you

00:34:26.820 know, we have credible evidence that will be coming soon that Donald Trump colluded with

00:34:30.160 the Kremlin.

00:34:30.540 So we don't know where this information originated from.

00:34:33.520 But if it did leak from Gary Shapley, OK, that's the way Washington, D.C.

00:34:38.160 works.

00:34:38.440 But it seems as if he is denying it rather forcefully.

00:34:40.920 But I want to focus on something that is around the story, because oftentimes you hear in

00:34:46.400 Washington, D.C. that the cover up is worse than the crime.

00:34:49.480 And they say, oh, you know, if they only wouldn't cover it up, then it would be fine.

00:34:52.380 This is the opposite.

00:34:53.140 In this case, the crime is way worse than the cover up.

00:34:55.880 In fact, it's very clear that there's a calculated effort that is underway that they

00:35:03.140 have to cover this up.

00:35:04.340 And even if they get caught covering it up, it's worth it because the crime is going to

00:35:08.400 lead to something that is far more serious than obstruction of justice or, you know,

00:35:13.840 trying to trying to put Merrick Garland to try to slow down an investigation.

00:35:17.620 And Gary Shapley's interview that he's done, he's done several interviews.

00:35:21.260 He did one with Brett Baer that I thought was really powerful.

00:35:24.180 He said, we were told to avoid specific protocols and procedures that we as IRS agents always take

00:35:32.240 that would have led us to far more serious crimes.

00:35:35.500 And so the question is here, why and who is orchestrating?

00:35:40.760 Who is the grand conductor, if you will, of this cover up?

00:35:44.500 Is it just happening out of ex nihilo, out of nowhere?

00:35:48.040 Or is there somebody that is saying, no, do this and don't do that?

00:35:51.860 And it's very obvious.

00:35:53.220 The big guy, Joe Biden, is awfully nervous that the more you look into Hunter Biden, it becomes

00:35:59.780 clear that Hunter Biden was operating as a proxy for the Biden family, paying for bills,

00:36:05.300 not declaring income and selling out United States policy and access to enrich their family.

00:36:11.620 And so we we're going to hopefully get some sort of an idea soon of was Merrick Garland

00:36:17.520 taking orders directly from Joe Biden and then via the Department of Treasury, which would

00:36:22.360 be Janet Yellen, who oversees the IRS technically, to try to either slow walk this investigation or

00:36:27.280 get a sweetheart plea deal.

00:36:29.220 But the crime here, what we're talking about, the crime here is prostituting yourself and

00:36:34.920 United States policy for cash.

00:36:37.700 And there is a word that we use for that.

00:36:39.980 It's called treason.

00:36:41.100 It's going to be very hard to prove that.

00:36:43.700 But it's certainly all signs, indications are pointing.

00:36:46.540 And it's just a very simple question.

00:36:47.740 For what service was rendered for 40 million dollars that the Biden family was able to get

00:36:54.800 over a decade that did they build hotels directly?

00:36:58.980 Yeah, exactly.

00:37:00.680 Exactly.

00:37:01.920 Yeah.

00:37:02.100 No, I mean, that's that is a big question because Hunter Biden had zero expertise in gas

00:37:05.980 and yet was paid 50 grand a month by Burisma in Ukraine and was getting all this money from

00:37:11.240 the Chinese for what?

00:37:12.580 For what?

00:37:13.420 Let's get specific.

00:37:14.320 I'd love to know and thank God that the Republicans won the House and they have an investigation

00:37:19.080 underway because at every turn we find out there's been a stymie, a stifling by these

00:37:25.520 career civil servants who have loyalty, apparently not to the truth in too many instances.

00:37:30.580 I don't want to malign the ones accused by Luft.

00:37:33.200 I don't know.

00:37:34.300 But in too many instances over the past six years, we've seen a fealty to politics and not

00:37:39.880 to justice and it being blind on that front.

00:37:45.040 Two other items, the cocaine at the White House, the reports now, Charlie, you'll love

00:37:50.000 this Politico reports as follows.

00:37:54.000 One of one official familiar with the investigation cautioned the source of the drug is unlikely

00:37:59.860 to be determined.

00:38:01.320 They're they're unlikely to find the source given that it was discovered in what was

00:38:05.680 allegedly a highly trafficked area of the West Wing.

00:38:10.200 Was it is it I I've got questions.

00:38:13.720 It's you if if somebody had left an explosive device, God forbid, in the place where that

00:38:20.180 cocaine was found, you don't think they'd have this thing solved in about eight hours

00:38:25.280 with videotape and White House logs.

00:38:28.160 Absolutely.

00:38:28.920 They would.

00:38:29.340 But now suddenly we're really not confident they can get to the bottom of it.

00:38:34.380 I think, I mean, first of all, I'm curious just how this originally leaked.

00:38:39.360 I think somebody just has so much resentment for the Biden family in the Secret Service

00:38:43.100 that somebody just leaked to this.

00:38:44.660 The second is who actually is using cocaine actively in the West Wing.

00:38:49.500 That's a serious question.

00:38:50.560 It could be Hunter Biden or even more troubling.

00:38:53.940 Are there White House staffers that are regularly using prohibited substances to try to get through

00:38:58.560 the workday in the White House?

00:39:00.300 And so it goes to a broader and deeper question.

00:39:04.700 The I remember being in the West Wing visiting Donald Trump, President Trump, when there was

00:39:09.540 story after story, Megan, that he was drinking too many Diet Cokes, that he is in great health

00:39:15.320 danger or it's bad for the democracy.

00:39:18.160 It's a it's a threat to democracy.

00:39:19.560 And by the way, it is 100 percent true.

00:39:21.680 The guy loves Diet Coke.

00:39:22.880 And even though aspartame is really bad for you and all this, he seems like he has more

00:39:26.460 energy and vitality than ever seen.

00:39:28.520 It's just the laws of gravity don't always apply to Trump.

00:39:31.220 So that is true.

00:39:32.220 And yet now an actual prohibited federally regulated substance, illegal substance, is found

00:39:38.080 in the West Wing.

00:39:38.680 And people just kind of say, well, we don't know.

00:39:40.120 We're going to get to the bottom of it.

00:39:41.540 It shouldn't surprise you because this is the way this current regime works.

00:39:46.220 Again, I am just shocked that we're even getting this information.

00:39:49.300 Somebody either leaked it or reported it, or maybe it's even worse than that, that they're

00:39:53.760 telling us.

00:39:54.840 And so I don't want to read too much into it, found it, secret service, found it.

00:39:59.920 And secret service may, you know, may have told somebody who knows.

00:40:02.760 I mean, Dan Bongino, former secret service man, as you know, he tweeted out the following,

00:40:07.520 Charlie, there's absolutely zero chance anyone other than a family member brought that cocaine

00:40:13.120 inside the White House complex.

00:40:14.460 No chance that it would make it past the MAG security checkpoints.

00:40:18.960 Family bypasses those.

00:40:21.420 It's pretty interesting.

00:40:22.400 And that makes more sense to me than we'll just never know because the West Wing is just

00:40:27.540 so heavily trafficked by randos.

00:40:30.060 Yeah, it's impossible for us to figure out who it was.

00:40:34.280 Well, and I mean, just it just kind of goes to this theme that I personally feel, which is

00:40:38.720 just the outright desecration of our institutions.

00:40:42.640 I mean, what kind of disrespect you must have for the White House and for the presidency

00:40:47.160 to just kind of bring in some blow and be like, oh, yeah, it's just heavily trafficked.

00:40:50.960 It's just perfectly fine.

00:40:52.600 And so will anybody be held accountable?

00:40:55.080 Probably not.

00:40:56.200 But it's an insult.

00:40:57.440 It's an insult to all of us.

00:40:58.540 And the next spin, Megan, will be, I guarantee it, is that if we find out who it is, they'll

00:41:02.540 be like, well, it shouldn't be illegal.

00:41:04.220 I mean, the war on drugs has been a terrible failure.

00:41:07.480 And, you know, it's disproportionately.

00:41:08.700 I think it's going to be poor Hunter has had a relapse.

00:41:13.320 No, that's that's true.

00:41:14.620 Yes, exactly.

00:41:15.780 Or whatever it is, like, you know, it's so hard when you're addicted to drugs.

00:41:19.980 It's such a sad, sad occasion.

00:41:23.680 Yeah.

00:41:24.140 And it's it's it's victim bashing.

00:41:26.180 If you dare attack that, they go into the White House to go do go do lines of cocaine.

00:41:30.880 And so, look, it's just another another piece of evidence of the deterioration of our institutions,

00:41:36.320 just the lack of respect.

00:41:38.140 And quite honestly, I do not have a lot of patience or compassion for people that feel

00:41:42.520 as if they need to continue their drug abuses in the people's house.

00:41:46.340 Yes, same, same.

00:41:47.560 I mean, so far, what we know we've had over the past week or two weeks is some man masquerading

00:41:54.340 as a woman showing off his fake breasts at our house, people's house, somebody feeling

00:42:00.500 that, you know, comfortable enough there to bring in coke into the White House.

00:42:04.380 And then the president of the United States parading a criminal, his son, on the White

00:42:10.140 House balcony on the celebration of our nation's birth, July 4th.

00:42:14.220 That's happened for sure over the past two weeks.

00:42:17.520 That is such a great point, Megan.

00:42:19.000 And so then you also had, you know, the LGBT whatever celebration with, you know, two gay

00:42:24.220 flags and only one American flag.

00:42:26.380 And it goes to a theme that I've been hitting on our podcast, which is the deterioration of

00:42:31.060 the holy.

00:42:31.840 And I don't mean holy in a religious sense.

00:42:34.000 I mean, the country we grew up in where certain things are honored and revered, where there's

00:42:39.260 a certain type of behavior that is unacceptable in our institutions, where you act differently,

00:42:44.340 you dress differently if you go into the White House, where I remember the first time I went

00:42:48.340 to the White House, Megan, I was at a lack for words.

00:42:52.280 I said, here I am, a kid from Chicago who didn't go to college, and I get to go into

00:42:56.080 the White House where the biggest decisions have ever been made.

00:42:59.720 You feel a weight and a heaviness.

00:43:02.300 And we are losing that.

00:43:04.280 The desecration of the holy and the elevating of the profane is happening at a record pace

00:43:10.900 from the topless celebration of that freak show out on the White House lawn to the cocaine

00:43:16.980 thing, to even inviting that Mulvaney freak into the White House and acting as if, you

00:43:23.240 know, you're the one of the most brave people I've ever seen.

00:43:25.960 This pattern is not insignificant, which is the institutions, the traditions, the behaviors,

00:43:32.720 the language that once tied us together where we said, you know, we don't do that here.

00:43:37.820 We don't elevate a different flag other than the American flag at the White House.

00:43:41.940 We don't speak in a certain way.

00:43:43.180 We don't take off our clothes on the White House lawn.

00:43:46.420 We are losing that.

00:43:47.580 And we're losing it because this idea of the separate, of the elevated is no longer there

00:43:54.180 because why the current occupant of the White House does not believe that the White House

00:44:01.160 or these institutions are worthy of that kind of separation, that kind of we have certain

00:44:08.280 rules and customs and traditions because they do not have respect for it.

00:44:11.740 And it's the further deterioration of what we would consider to be the sacred in our country.

00:44:16.820 I'm so I was going to get to this later, but I've got to bring it up now.

00:44:20.400 Joe Biden's the CDC under Joe Biden right now.

00:44:25.060 The CDC has issued guidance.

00:44:29.340 This is from the actual CDC website offering advice to men who want to masquerade as women

00:44:37.820 on how to chest feed babies.

00:44:41.940 The CDC is saying it's possible.

00:44:44.860 This is from their website, quoting,

00:44:46.580 can transgender parents who have had breast surgery, breastfeed or chest feed their infants?

00:44:52.260 Yes.

00:44:52.880 And then goes on.

00:44:53.960 These families may need help with the following.

00:44:55.840 One page containing the guidance is located on their infant and young child feeding in emergencies

00:45:01.160 toolkit, and they actually go on to say an individual does not need to have given birth

00:45:06.640 to breastfeed or to chest feed.

00:45:09.280 There is nothing.

00:45:11.120 There is nothing there about the significant risks to a baby, not to mention torture of an

00:45:18.260 infant, trying to suckle at the fake breast of a man who nine times out of 10 will be getting off

00:45:25.820 sexually from having the child suck his nipples.

00:45:30.460 This is the CDC.

00:45:32.260 It's disgusting.

00:45:35.060 It's it's disgusting.

00:45:36.440 I'm glad you went there, Megan.

00:45:37.580 This is this is a gateway drug to the normalization of pedophilia is what it is.

00:45:42.620 I mean, the idea of a man wanting and we have to say that, I mean, this is not about, you

00:45:49.960 know, nourishing a child or giving, you know, any sort of love and compassion.

00:45:54.900 This is someone who's getting on some sort of sexual kink because of a child that is having

00:46:00.760 an engagement with them.

00:46:01.520 I hate to go there that bluntly, but that is exactly what this is.

00:46:04.600 And this when I say this on a college campus and some people disagree or they, you know,

00:46:11.120 when I say that this is the clearest time in American history where we have this division

00:46:17.580 of team reality versus team neurotic fantasy, you see this right here so clearly.

00:46:24.900 I mean, we have a 10 month daughter and I could tell you that when she's hungry, not not me,

00:46:32.220 not not not my role to play.

00:46:34.860 And that's OK.

00:46:35.840 That is ordinary.

00:46:37.120 That is natural.

00:46:38.560 She wants to be with her mother.

00:46:40.120 But Megan, this is what's so important.

00:46:41.900 What is the philosophical poison that drives this?

00:46:46.460 The Biden regime never wants to offend somebody to say that you might have biological or physical

00:46:54.040 limitations that might prevent you from living out your own truth.

00:46:58.860 This is where that sort of poison leads you, where you do not ever want to have the pesky

00:47:06.160 shackles of reality anchor you, where they say, yeah, if you're if you're a man that you

00:47:11.820 might be able to chest feed, this is this is not just garbage.

00:47:15.060 It is it is beyond evil.

00:47:16.960 It is disgusting.

00:47:18.200 It is.

00:47:18.500 And it's how many how many hundreds of tens of thousands, let's say, young children are

00:47:24.160 now going to be put in abusive environments to deal with trauma and issues the rest of

00:47:29.120 their life because this is not some fringe group, Megan.

00:47:31.860 This is not some LGBT activist group in San Francisco.

00:47:35.120 This is our government.

00:47:37.220 Charlie, every mother knows that when you when you try to breastfeed your baby and you're just

00:47:41.460 getting started and the breasts aren't like fully pumping, like your breasts have to learn

00:47:45.440 how to do it as a young mother.

00:47:47.020 That's correct.

00:47:47.420 And right.

00:47:48.420 And there's this terrible moment where you're upset because your baby wants more milk and

00:47:55.280 you're like, I'm failing.

00:47:56.280 I'm not producing it.

00:47:57.360 I'm I'm in a panic.

00:47:58.240 And this way, a lot of moms move to formula sooner than they probably needed to because

00:48:03.080 they're convinced their breasts can't do it.

00:48:05.040 And if you just keep doing it as a mom, as an actual woman, you'll get there.

00:48:08.340 But it's a very difficult situation for mother and baby.

00:48:11.260 And even more so when it's a damn man, when it's a man doing this, trying to pretend that

00:48:18.840 he could ever make the kind of milk that a mother could.

00:48:21.260 This milk, the Daily Mail, to its credit, which is where we found the story, went to actual

00:48:26.320 doctors and interviewed them, who said the CDC has a responsibility to disclose the lack

00:48:31.740 of research and the potential risks here and pointing out that one of the medications

00:48:35.840 used to force a man to produce milk has been linked to heart issues in babies, heart issues

00:48:43.520 in babies, not to mention the amount of hormones that baby's going to be drinking in.

00:48:48.180 Most of us won't even have a glass of wine while we're breastfeeding our babies or take

00:48:51.900 a Tylenol.

00:48:53.060 But this is fine.

00:48:54.300 We're going to let the babies get tortured and potentially have heart issues in the name

00:48:59.140 of equity.

00:49:00.420 And the lack of courage to tell a troubled, neurotic, unstable man that you need mental

00:49:11.880 treatment, not the justification of your delusion.

00:49:15.960 That's the root here, Megan, is that we have a whole regime that is unwilling, that is terrified

00:49:20.620 to look people with mental problems in the eye and say, no, you need help, not the platforming

00:49:28.180 of your fantasy.

00:49:31.080 Yes, my God.

00:49:32.060 I mean, it's like we've already been chopping up children.

00:49:34.860 We've been sterilizing them.

00:49:36.500 We've been rendering them incapable to ever achieve sexual climax.

00:49:40.360 And now we're going after babies.

00:49:42.360 Now we're going to cause heart issues potentially in newborn babies so that some man can get off.

00:49:50.380 I will leave the audience with this before we take a break.

00:49:52.760 There was just a story.

00:49:53.740 We've talked about it with Mark Stein by ITV, a British broadcaster featuring a transgender

00:50:00.100 woman, meaning a man, as the example of motherhood, breastfeeding, quote unquote, chest feeding

00:50:05.000 a child.

00:50:05.700 This is a lie.

00:50:06.440 This is a man.

00:50:07.220 He cannot chest feed or breastfeed.

00:50:09.460 And somebody did a deep dive into this guy.

00:50:11.600 He's on the Internet with nipple clamps repeatedly before this, Charlie, like actual like clothes

00:50:17.700 pins, like clamps down on his nipples because he gets off on it.

00:50:21.580 This is a guy getting off on a baby, suckling on his nipples, correct, and held up by a broadcaster

00:50:29.300 as an example of motherhood.

00:50:32.820 It's got to stop.

00:50:35.100 Your word is perfect.

00:50:36.580 It's evil.

00:50:37.580 It's evil.

00:50:38.180 And if this doesn't motivate you to speak out about against this nonsense, nothing will.

00:50:44.240 All right.

00:50:44.400 We got to take a quick break.

00:50:45.780 I got to have a glass of water.

00:50:47.680 We'll come right back.

00:50:48.720 There's so much more to get to.

00:50:49.740 Love having Charlie Kirk on.

00:50:51.020 Hope you're with me.

00:50:51.960 We'll be right back.

00:50:56.520 Charlie, continuing with our theme of covering up, censoring, jailing, et cetera, a big court

00:51:04.260 ruling this week for and an important one for those of us who do love free speech.

00:51:10.460 God bless the attorney generals of Louisiana, Missouri.

00:51:13.300 I know you had one of these guys on your show.

00:51:15.480 They've been doing such a great job.

00:51:16.960 They filed a lawsuit alleging the federal government cannot do through big tech that which it could

00:51:23.280 not do to us directly.

00:51:24.760 You know, we have a First Amendment that allows us free speech, and they're not allowed to

00:51:28.400 censor our speech based on viewpoint discrimination.

00:51:31.460 That's the reason for the First Amendment, to protect speech that's unpopular.

00:51:34.260 And they would they've been doing that.

00:51:37.260 They've been doing that repeatedly through covid and other of their choice issues that they

00:51:42.180 don't want to speaking out on through Facebook, through YouTube, through Twitter.

00:51:46.940 We could go on.

00:51:47.600 And so these two attorneys general filed a lawsuit saying this is unconstitutional.

00:51:53.040 They're not allowed to do this.

00:51:54.140 And they won their first big battle in federal court in Louisiana.

00:51:58.180 A federal judge has has just issued a preliminary injunction blocking a long list of federal agencies

00:52:05.400 and officials from communicating with social media platforms about some content online.

00:52:11.040 If you listen to NPR or you listen to the left, they're going to make you believe that

00:52:15.020 they can't have any communication, that if they found out there's a child pornography ring

00:52:19.400 on Facebook, they're not allowed to call Facebook.

00:52:21.920 That's a lie.

00:52:23.120 That's a lie.

00:52:23.660 And the ruling makes that specifically clear.

00:52:26.040 This is about suppression of viewpoints that are unpopular.

00:52:31.280 It also bars these government agencies from communicating with some of these outside groups like the

00:52:36.560 Stanford Internet Observatory.

00:52:38.140 We've had them on our show.

00:52:39.360 The Election Integrity Partnership, the Virality Project.

00:52:42.940 These people who sort of have been used as proxies by the government to decide which

00:52:47.740 speech is good and which is bad.

00:52:50.580 And I'll tell you, OK, just two things before I give you the floor.

00:52:56.400 This is what the judge found, quote, if the allegations made by the plaintiffs are true,

00:53:01.620 because this still has to go to trial.

00:53:02.960 It's just a preliminary injunction pending trial.

00:53:05.000 The present case arguably involves the most massive attack against free speech in United

00:53:11.360 States history in their attempts to suppress alleged disinformation.

00:53:15.680 The federal government and particularly the defendants here named named here are alleged

00:53:19.560 to have blatantly ignored the First Amendment's right to free speech.

00:53:23.820 Although the censorship alleged here almost exclusively targeted conservative speech, the issues raised

00:53:31.200 herein go beyond party lines.

00:53:33.920 The right to free speech is not a member of any political party and does not hold any political

00:53:38.920 ideology.

00:53:40.540 Finding the plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits and issuing a preliminary injunction.

00:53:46.460 And when you look at the specifics of what they were suppressing, Charlie, what the feds,

00:53:50.880 the White House was repeatedly contacting Facebook, YouTube and so on about, it's absolutely

00:53:57.380 offensive and well beyond what any normal administration would ever think it was within their purview to

00:54:03.080 censor.

00:54:04.860 Well, that's exactly right.

00:54:06.320 And we actually are looking at potential legal action against the election integrity project

00:54:11.240 because we were singled out as spreaders of disinformation.

00:54:14.820 What was our thought crime, Megan?

00:54:16.460 Well, we decided to tweet out that Hunter Biden's laptop was probably legitimate.

00:54:20.800 We lost access to our Twitter account for a week.

00:54:23.360 We were placed on Twitter's blacklist.

00:54:25.420 And that's another important piece of information here is that thanks to Elon Musk's purchase

00:54:29.860 of Twitter, we have this amazing amount of evidence that then reinforces what the Attorney

00:54:34.840 General of Missouri and Louisiana will be able to find in discovery.

00:54:37.680 And you pair that together.

00:54:38.880 And what you will find is that the federal government has spent billions of dollars of man hours of

00:54:45.200 personnel monitoring, policing, and censoring domestic political speech.

00:54:52.340 And so before we go any further, it just makes you wonder, what would the country look like

00:54:57.100 ideologically if they didn't interfere in these conversations?

00:55:01.100 I mean, I believe we are a center-right country and we're increasingly becoming more of a center-right

00:55:05.840 country.

00:55:06.660 Public opinion polls show that.

00:55:08.400 There might be some disagreement on social issues, but we are moving in the center-right

00:55:11.440 direction, especially as people see the nonsense of the left every day.

00:55:15.140 I think we'd be even more of a conservative country if we had liberated dialogue and discourse.

00:55:21.140 And so you look at what is the federal government tasked with doing primarily?

00:55:25.500 Well, first of all, protecting our country from threats abroad and, if necessary, domestically.

00:55:31.280 They look at their charge as saying, those right-wingers are a threat to democracy.

00:55:36.720 Do you see how all of these MSNBC narratives then become policy?

00:55:40.680 When you have John Brennan go on TV and say, oh yeah, the people that did January 6th, half

00:55:45.720 the country, they need to be surveilled, they need to be spied on, that gives the marching

00:55:50.200 orders to CISA, to the Department of Homeland Security, to all these different instruments

00:55:55.380 of government to then censor speech they don't like.

00:55:58.920 But what makes this case fascinating and interesting is they didn't do it bluntly.

00:56:03.680 There is the examples of the FBI meeting with Twitter and the FBI visiting Mark Zuckerberg

00:56:08.680 and saying that, hey, there might be some Russian disinformation, but they got a little creative.

00:56:12.720 They got a little cute.

00:56:13.980 They said, well, what if we give all this money to an outside group and then they do

00:56:17.800 the censoring for us?

00:56:19.020 So it's censorship by proxy.

00:56:21.000 You cannot do that.

00:56:22.480 And they got caught.

00:56:23.820 And you read it perfectly where the judge says, this is the worst attack on free speech

00:56:28.340 in American history.

00:56:29.760 Oh yeah.

00:56:30.320 And it's probably still ongoing, Megan.

00:56:32.240 It makes you wonder, what were their plans for 2024 going to be, for this upcoming presidential

00:56:37.580 election, if this ruling stands, this very well might even the playing field to some degree

00:56:44.700 so that we might be able to have something, I don't know, called a fair and free election

00:56:47.980 so that we can have speech online where we can actually talk about a candidate's qualifications

00:56:53.620 or their corruption or their favorability or not.

00:56:58.200 And this all goes back to this idea that the fourth branch of government, the unelected,

00:57:04.740 the civil service bureaucrats, the desk workers, you can call them the deep state or the uniparty,

00:57:09.260 the leviathan, all these terms work, is that they believe they call the shots.

00:57:14.320 They do not want to have the people be able to express their opinions without them being

00:57:19.600 the ultimate check and balance.

00:57:21.780 And they fear, Megan, that there is a center-right resurgence in this country.

00:57:26.040 Take Donald Trump out of the equation for a second.

00:57:28.400 They fear that the country is starting to reject this sort of trans zealotry, that they

00:57:34.400 find this idea of chest feeding or teaching pornography to nine-year-olds in schools to be outright

00:57:41.240 repulsive.

00:57:42.560 And so they are using every means at their disposal to go after the political dissidents, which

00:57:48.980 are people like me, like you.

00:57:50.340 Dan Bongino was also put on a blacklist.

00:57:52.600 And where did this all come from?

00:57:54.600 This came from Republicans mostly, Megan, who passed these agencies from bill into law

00:58:01.440 post 9-11.

00:58:02.900 There's a supply and demand problem with terrorism.

00:58:06.360 We started with Islamic terrorism in 2005, 2006, you know, 0405, 06 being the biggest

00:58:11.700 threat.

00:58:12.060 And it was a big threat.

00:58:12.980 But guess what?

00:58:13.780 Those agencies were never shuttered down as the threat waned.

00:58:17.920 They instead reconfigured.

00:58:20.240 They found a new target, patriotic conservative Americans that they don't like, and they are

00:58:26.900 treating us like ISIS and Al Qaeda, the same sort of behavior, language and censorship that

00:58:33.840 they would with a terrorist group in the Middle East.

00:58:35.860 Mm hmm.

00:58:37.120 Gosh, you're so right.

00:58:38.260 And it's when you see like, you know, you get to pull the curtain back and see behind

00:58:42.040 the scenes what they were actually doing, how angry they were at the social media companies

00:58:45.900 when they didn't censor.

00:58:47.280 And in particular, on COVID, they go through it's if you want to go look at the judge's

00:58:52.640 opinions on, I think, page nine, they go through the lists, the list of some of the things that

00:58:58.480 they pushed on the COVID response team from the White House contacting Twitter to remove

00:59:03.060 an anti-vaccine tweet by Robert Kennedy Jr.

00:59:06.400 There you go.

00:59:07.220 And asking for oversight, oversight by big tech on similar tweets.

00:59:11.880 You know, we're asking you to be our partner in this censorship.

00:59:15.280 Um, then you've got one.

00:59:17.040 I mean, this is just a few examples.

00:59:18.460 You could go down the list.

00:59:19.620 Um, April, 2021, Facebook reported it would have a new policy allowing for the removal of

00:59:25.620 certain profiles due to off platform behavior.

00:59:28.120 All right.

00:59:28.540 So if you're bad in your personal life, Facebook can remove you.

00:59:32.420 And the White House requested more information on the specifics of this policy.

00:59:36.580 Oh, we really like it.

00:59:37.840 Facebook's like, yeah, go for it.

00:59:39.380 Uh, from the filing, it appears this guy, Flaherty, told Facebook, I care mostly about what

00:59:44.920 actions and charges you're making to ensure you're not making, uh, making our country's

00:59:49.580 vaccine hesitancy problems worse.

00:59:52.160 Accusing Facebook of being responsible for January 6th and indicating that Facebook would

00:59:57.320 be similarly responsible for COVID related deaths.

01:00:00.780 If it did not censor more, just the threats that went on here, uh, June, 2021, a meta that's

01:00:08.860 Facebook executive confirming to the White House staff that they would continue to increase

01:00:13.160 censorship of misleading information.

01:00:15.040 According to the White House quote requests, they committed to providing weekly reports to

01:00:22.220 the White House.

01:00:23.060 My God.

01:00:24.020 And here's the final example I'll bring up here.

01:00:26.800 Uh, this guy, Flaherty, again, um, he was a deputy assistant to the president at the time.

01:00:32.840 Uh, he wanted to know why Facebook had not removed a Tucker Carlson video about that was anti

01:00:40.020 vax or raising questions about the vax questioning how that video had been demoted, which he'd been

01:00:45.800 assured it had been since it already had 40,000 shares.

01:00:49.040 That was unacceptable to the White House to be, to be allowing, not promoting, but just

01:00:53.740 to be allowing Tucker's video to be shared.

01:00:56.160 Facebook reported that Tucker's content had not violated any Facebook policy, but Facebook

01:01:04.080 nonetheless agreed to give the video a 50% demotion for seven days and stated that it would continue

01:01:12.320 to demote the video.

01:01:15.540 Unbelievable.

01:01:16.380 I, I got asked once by a student on campus and they said, Charlie, how, why do you think

01:01:24.020 you are right in historical terms?

01:01:26.440 I said, look, I might not be right on every issue, but I know I'm on the right side of

01:01:30.560 history because the people doing the censoring are never on the right side.

01:01:34.880 And this is the best example that if you have to use the full force of government to shut

01:01:39.640 up people you don't like, and Megan, if I could just connect the dots, I've been warning

01:01:43.460 about this culture of shutting people up that you disagree with that originated on college

01:01:48.540 campuses.

01:01:49.320 Instead of having debate and dialogue, instead of saying, oh yeah, you know, actually the

01:01:53.300 vaccine is safe and it's effective and Robert Kennedy Jr., here are the facts and let's have

01:01:57.320 a dialogue about it.

01:01:58.540 They have to use force.

01:02:00.840 And so there are really basically two ways you could set up a government.

01:02:04.100 You could set up a government using speech and dialogue and reason and debate, or you could

01:02:08.360 set up a government based on force.

01:02:09.820 Our original constitutional model that we celebrated this week on Independence Day, you

01:02:14.020 know, when in the course of human events becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political

01:02:17.080 bands that have tied them to another, it was making an argument based a government on speech

01:02:21.340 that you no longer can force us, King George.

01:02:23.600 You can't force us to do things we don't like.

01:02:25.660 You're going to have to use reason.

01:02:26.880 And it says to use consent to the governed.

01:02:29.680 This current regime, they're done with that.

01:02:31.720 They don't want to talk to you.

01:02:32.980 That's a waste of time.

01:02:33.900 Why would I talk to Robert Kennedy Jr.?

01:02:35.480 He's a kook.

01:02:36.380 Why would I talk to Tucker Carlson?

01:02:37.780 And he's a Russian puppet and propagandist.

01:02:40.820 This is the pattern of tyrants to use the instruments of government to go after people that might

01:02:49.720 be a threat or might pose some sort of disagreement to their aims and their ambitions.

01:02:56.020 The second part of this, Megan, which is interesting, is that they'll use other parts of the government

01:03:00.460 government to get what they want in a not so it's not that hard to detect.

01:03:06.100 It's done in kind of a mafioso way.

01:03:08.200 And so, for example, Mark Zuckerberg had several pending issues in front of the Federal Trade

01:03:12.440 Commission.

01:03:13.440 And it's very similar to kind of how the crime families would operate, where they'd show up

01:03:17.320 to Mark Zuckerberg and they say it'd be quite a shame if you get an unfavorable ruling from

01:03:21.400 the Federal Trade Commission.

01:03:22.440 Now, remember, Zuckerberg got under huge scrutiny after the 2016 election because a lot of left-wing

01:03:28.600 Democrats blamed Mark Zuckerberg for opening up Facebook for Cambridge Analytica for allowing

01:03:34.860 Donald Trump to become president.

01:03:36.420 Remember that whole news cycle that Facebook was too easy to access and they didn't have

01:03:40.560 the guardrails and, you know, you did not stop, you know, Donald Trump.

01:03:44.040 So Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook and a lot of these social media titans, they were operating

01:03:50.120 under a pressure campaign to never be blamed again for a populist nationalist candidate from

01:03:57.600 becoming president, in addition to all the regulatory action that they might be facing.

01:04:03.180 So they're constantly trying to win favor of the government being like, OK, we'll censor this

01:04:07.460 post.

01:04:07.880 We'll censor this post.

01:04:09.080 And Twitter went as so far with Yoel Roth, who was the head of, you know, Twitter safety

01:04:14.060 to have a standing meeting with the FBI, that he had a standing meeting where the FBI would

01:04:20.520 come in and they would discuss notes.

01:04:22.620 And, you know, we now know that I was put on a very specific Twitter blacklist alongside

01:04:26.660 Dan Bongino makes you wonder who else was also shadow banned.

01:04:31.100 And the point I'll reiterate is it's remarkable, Megan, how center right the country is, even

01:04:38.760 with this censorship pressure campaign.

01:04:42.420 And I think one of the reasons why Pride Month kind of fell flat for a lot of the trans

01:04:47.700 zealots is because Elon Musk purchased Twitter.

01:04:50.600 And the last 13 months, we've been able to get the word out about chemical castration of

01:04:54.860 kids and the sterilization.

01:04:56.820 When you're allowed to have at least a semblance of a marketplace of ideas, it is a proven threat

01:05:03.360 to tyranny, to totalitarianism.

01:05:06.620 And quite honestly, this garbage that they're force feeding.

01:05:09.460 The only way the left is able to win, I truly believe this, is if they're able to shut us

01:05:14.220 up.

01:05:15.660 Well, we were looking into this news story.

01:05:19.140 There was a news company.

01:05:21.020 I'm trying to figure out the news station.

01:05:22.360 I can't remember it off the top of my head.

01:05:23.720 But they fired a couple of producers who during Pride Month said, you know, we should be telling

01:05:28.000 the other side.

01:05:28.600 There's a lot of people who don't like this stuff, fired, fired, just just for not going

01:05:33.320 along with the yes, celebrate, taste the rainbow, get you fired.

01:05:37.200 And so you're right.

01:05:38.100 Elon's been very important.

01:05:39.320 He's been hugely important in just allowing the other side of the dialogue.

01:05:43.840 And that that brings me to the fact that Mark Zuckerberg is now launching a competitor

01:05:49.500 to Twitter.

01:05:50.240 Now he's decided Twitter's failing.

01:05:53.500 We can't have just this dialogue.

01:05:54.920 None of the liberals like Twitter anymore.

01:05:56.240 And so he's launching a competitor to it, right?

01:06:00.000 Because the liberals can't they can't allow the conservatives to or even just Elon's an

01:06:03.600 independent to own any sort of these forums, lest these kind of conversations take place.

01:06:07.920 That was just a side point.

01:06:08.840 But I want to talk about language because yesterday we saw a case.

01:06:13.000 It happened over the July 4th holiday, but there was a mass shooting in Philly and five

01:06:17.360 people were killed at the hands of this shooter who was a biological man who went around looking

01:06:23.240 like a woman.

01:06:23.780 Uh, now, now, something weird happened when the city officials came out and talked about

01:06:28.740 it, Charlie, and I reported this to the audience yesterday.

01:06:32.060 They would not say they had city officials held a press conference on Tuesday.

01:06:36.460 They refused to name the suspect.

01:06:38.600 That's weird.

01:06:39.660 That's weird.

01:06:40.620 Usually the cops, the city officials will tell you who did it.

01:06:43.680 It's people like me who won't say the names of the shooters because we don't want to give

01:06:47.220 them.

01:06:47.520 That's correct.

01:06:48.060 But this is strange for the actual officials to not release it.

01:06:52.040 And then they said they were unsure.

01:06:54.940 They wanted to point out the New York Times pointed out that the authorities clarified

01:06:58.520 they were unsure of the suspect's gender identity.

01:07:03.380 Who gives a shit?

01:07:04.260 What is gender identity?

01:07:05.080 Like, is it a man or a woman?

01:07:06.820 Is it a man or a woman?

01:07:07.800 That's just the basics, please.

01:07:09.260 It was clearly a man.

01:07:11.660 Um, and then they wanted to point out that, um, he used the new, the, the pronouns, they,

01:07:18.160 them, that the news conference, uh, on Tuesday used the pronouns, they, them.

01:07:21.780 Okay.

01:07:22.320 So they wanted to make sure that they didn't say he or she inappropriately for this suspected

01:07:27.080 mass shooter.

01:07:28.000 All right.

01:07:28.480 So it was very strange because they're not giving us his name.

01:07:31.460 They're using they, them.

01:07:32.820 And now here's what happened in the followup.

01:07:35.220 The Philadelphia DA, Larry Krasner, who's a George Soros guy.

01:07:39.000 This is one of those woke DAs who won't prosecute crimes, held a news conference following the

01:07:44.080 arraignment of the suspect, uh, who's 40 years old, suspected again of killing five people

01:07:49.380 on July 3rd.

01:07:50.400 He proceeded at this press conference to introduce a social justice advocate who's a member of

01:07:58.720 the LGBTQIA advisory committee named Asa Khalif.

01:08:03.020 Well, as Krasner introduced Khalif, he said, uh, as wonderful as he, as his speaking is,

01:08:10.720 it should not be necessary, but you know, there are some people for whom hate is a full-time

01:08:15.660 job.

01:08:16.240 And if they can stay away from the facts and talk about nonsense, that's what they are

01:08:21.340 going to do.

01:08:22.100 Okay.

01:08:22.280 Do we have this?

01:08:22.980 I think we have some of this on camera.

01:08:25.020 I'm trying to look at my soundbite list.

01:08:26.780 Uh, yeah.

01:08:28.100 Okay.

01:08:28.940 Then Asa Khalif comes out and takes the microphone and listen to his message in the wake of this

01:08:35.900 shooting.

01:08:36.280 SOT 10.

01:08:36.660 I want to discuss very briefly because there is a nasty, violent in terms of verbal and

01:08:45.380 written words, um, spewed by the conservative press.

01:08:50.100 There are certain pictures that are circulating shooter in one picture as male and other pictures

01:08:59.380 dressed in female, uh, attire.

01:09:02.340 They have used those pictures to attack trans people.

01:09:08.140 Language is extremely important when we're talking about anything dealing with violence

01:09:13.240 in trans community.

01:09:15.420 The suspect or the shooter has not identified themselves as trans.

01:09:21.540 They have only identified themselves as male.

01:09:24.400 But the language that is spewed out by the conservative press is violent and it's dangerous

01:09:31.740 and it's targeting trans women of color.

01:09:35.360 They are not killers.

01:09:37.200 They are the most vulnerable to violence.

01:09:40.880 Oh my God.

01:09:42.660 For the listening audience, Charlie is rubbing his eyes.

01:09:46.580 I can't.

01:09:50.080 Five people were killed.

01:09:51.500 And the speaker is worried about the sensitivity of what pronoun is being used to connect an

01:09:58.880 earlier topic and point we made, Megan.

01:10:01.160 It's what do we consider to be sacred in our current society?

01:10:06.460 In a moment where five people are killed, the pronoun selection is considered to be a bigger

01:10:13.980 deal than the remembering of the five people killed.

01:10:17.820 And he says, violent, violent language, excuse me, pal, your, whatever, whatever this person

01:10:25.080 was killed by people is a murderer of five people.

01:10:30.400 And we have to be hypersensitive over what pronouns we use of what language that we use.

01:10:37.560 And this person was obviously a cross dresser and had deep seated mental problems and all

01:10:42.120 the information.

01:10:42.660 Charlie, he had breasts.

01:10:44.300 Okay.

01:10:44.700 He had breasts and wore women's clothes.

01:10:46.560 I couldn't care less what he called himself.

01:10:49.500 Well, it's also, this is what they're spending their attention on because look, there's Friedrich

01:10:54.620 Nietzsche had a great quote and he said, you could tell a lot by a society based on what is the

01:10:59.640 central piety of the thing you're not allowed to make fun of.

01:11:03.040 And that is considered to be the most holy thing in the society, right?

01:11:06.300 So you can strip at the white house.

01:11:08.220 You could do cocaine and blow at the white house.

01:11:10.180 You can have gay flags at the white house, but so, so the traditional institutions, the

01:11:15.660 things that we would revere, the things that we consider to be holy and sacred and things

01:11:20.020 that we would lift up and really adore, forget all that.

01:11:23.200 But at a press conference where five people were massacred and murdered or killed, the most

01:11:29.880 important thing is the language from right-wing pundits that misgender the murderer, that the

01:11:37.140 murderer is the victim.

01:11:38.060 And that is the key, Megan.

01:11:39.060 That is what they've, this is what they teach on campuses, that the murderers are not actually

01:11:43.940 the perpetrator.

01:11:45.280 They're, they're the victim, that they're the only led to do that because of our language

01:11:51.020 that we did not properly treat them.

01:11:53.980 No, no, you're a scumbag.

01:11:55.280 That's going to go to hell for murdering five people.

01:11:59.700 And the idea of platforming a quote unquote social justice activist for this shows exactly

01:12:05.860 where we are inside of this is, this is beyond repulsive.

01:12:08.440 It's vile.

01:12:09.100 It's just, it's disgusting, but it's fitting because forget five.

01:12:14.200 They're basically what they're saying.

01:12:15.700 Who cares?

01:12:16.140 Five people are, are killed.

01:12:17.560 The true violence is the fact that you don't use proper pronouns.

01:12:22.680 Yeah, that's exactly right.

01:12:24.580 This guy opened fire on random people, killing five people, four men and a 15 year old boy

01:12:32.020 shot a two year old boy four times in his legs, shot a two year old.

01:12:39.400 And we're supposed to give a shit what the pronouns are.

01:12:41.940 Well, we don't, we don't care.

01:12:43.380 We don't care about this man.

01:12:45.660 We don't care about what, what he wants us to be calling him.

01:12:50.000 But it's very obvious whether he called himself trans or not.

01:12:53.760 He wanted us to perceive him as a woman because he grew breasts.

01:12:57.580 That doesn't happen naturally.

01:12:58.960 And he pranced around in women's clothing.

01:13:01.660 He's a murderer.

01:13:02.980 Obviously there was some sort of gender confusion.

01:13:05.760 I have no idea what the label was, but the fact that not only was there some sort of press

01:13:10.400 correction to the gender, but he had the nerve to parade this guy out to, to lecture us on

01:13:16.760 the right wing press fostering hate brings it all home.

01:13:21.960 And this guy saying that trans women are, are not killers.

01:13:26.700 They're the most vulnerable to violence.

01:13:29.200 I mean, I could show him a slew of stories and internet videos that we've been subjected

01:13:34.380 to in which these so-called trans women are threatening all of us.

01:13:38.460 If we say anything to them, be it at a restroom or a locker room, what have you.

01:13:42.800 Well, yeah, a couple of things.

01:13:45.160 First of all, the rainbow mafia, they are one of the most violent group of people.

01:13:48.420 Most death threats I receive most violent confrontations that we receive in all of our

01:13:53.240 travel and commentary comes from what we call the rainbow mafia and they are aggressive.

01:13:58.800 They are ferocious.

01:13:59.960 And not to mention, I could just list some examples off the top of my head, the Nashville

01:14:03.680 mass shooting, which there's still a lot of questions.

01:14:05.700 I don't think we ever got that manifesto, by the way, the thwart.

01:14:09.140 So, yeah, and so that just kind of disappeared.

01:14:11.980 The thwarted mass shooting in Colorado Springs of a person under the trans delusion that was

01:14:17.820 going to do a mass shooting in Colorado Springs.

01:14:20.140 Thankfully, law enforcement interceded.

01:14:22.060 And that's just off the top of my head.

01:14:22.940 There's other examples as well.

01:14:24.940 But why is it that this is considered to be sacred?

01:14:30.120 Well, and you look at innocent life is not nearly as important as the trans agenda.

01:14:35.680 We could speculate, Megan, but I think it's just important to notice it and repeat it that

01:14:40.980 they are so all in on this trans thing that even if it means the massacring of innocence,

01:14:46.280 that is nowhere near as important as the furtherance, as the acceleration of this, not just

01:14:54.740 radical, this repulsive agenda that is going to our kids and our society because they would

01:15:01.240 not dare want to offend the murderer.

01:15:04.980 Yeah.

01:15:05.860 You point out that, you know, our our children.

01:15:08.920 I know you've been commenting about this, too, but did you see the teachers unions recommend

01:15:15.020 gender queer for teachers this summer?

01:15:18.340 Like, you know, you said it like our school says sends our kids home saying these are some

01:15:24.780 suggested books that they could read over the summer if you want to keep their brains active.

01:15:27.960 OK, I like that.

01:15:29.060 Well, apparently the teachers union does that for teachers.

01:15:32.400 And the books are a little bit to the left, you might say.

01:15:36.960 They lean a little bit to the left, like white fragility.

01:15:40.800 Yes.

01:15:41.180 By Robin DiAngelo.

01:15:42.260 And not to mention gender queer, which is a quasi pornographic book.

01:15:45.460 And if I may just also add one of my least favorite politicians in America, who's just

01:15:50.380 so nauseating and repulsive, Gavin Newsom.

01:15:54.220 And, you know, Gavin Newsom goes to Boise, Idaho, because he has this whole thing to try

01:15:57.900 to go to red states to try to prove that he has all this big following.

01:16:01.000 And he goes to this bookstore in Boise, Idaho to talk about, oh, these are all the, you know,

01:16:05.240 in his Bain-like voice, I'm the governor of California and we don't ban books in California.

01:16:09.820 And this is a call to action.

01:16:11.240 If you see Gavin Newsom walking the streets or at an event, respectfully but forcefully,

01:16:16.240 you need to ask him and read these books that he says are banned, which are pornographic books.

01:16:21.780 And so these politicians are trying to virtue signal on this, Megan, like, oh, yeah, we don't

01:16:25.980 ban books.

01:16:26.840 Yeah, excuse me.

01:16:27.420 We should ban pornographic material from eight, nine and 10 year olds in their classroom,

01:16:31.560 period.

01:16:32.080 They should not have, you know, animated instructions of how to do anal sex for a 10 year old, period.

01:16:38.640 End of story.

01:16:39.300 And now the teacher union has this book, Gender Queer, which is a pornographic book in their

01:16:44.180 recommended reading list.

01:16:47.060 Makes you wonder, what is their focus on the sexualization of children?

01:16:50.780 And the answer is that the quicker that they are able to rob a child of the innocence, of

01:16:56.120 their innocence, the easier they are to control.

01:16:58.840 That they're going to need some sort of direction, some sort of authority figure.

01:17:02.600 They do not want that to be the family.

01:17:04.040 They don't want that to be mom or dad.

01:17:05.480 They'd rather have that be the government or some sort of TikTok influencer or some sort

01:17:09.880 of public school teacher.

01:17:12.240 The inappropriate content to children has parents outraged from coast to coast.

01:17:17.420 It's even got some Democrats upset.

01:17:19.360 I mean, this is I don't think entirely a partisan issue.

01:17:22.660 And thankfully, while, you know, they may be trying to shove it down the throats of the teachers

01:17:27.540 who are then going to try to pass it on to our kids, the parents are starting to speak

01:17:31.860 up.

01:17:32.260 And you know what?

01:17:32.720 The consumers are starting to speak up.

01:17:35.120 And that brings me to the bloodbath at Disney right now.

01:17:39.620 Yeah, I'm so heartened to see it.

01:17:43.280 Disney, the Daily Mail reporting on this is looking at an almost nine hundred million dollar

01:17:49.840 loss right now following a series of woke flops at the box office.

01:17:56.480 Apparently there's a there's an analysis out there showing that films like Lightyear, in

01:18:01.940 which they decided to make Buzz Lightyear gay.

01:18:04.240 Um, if the Little Mermaid, which is now woke, uh, I'm trying to get the latest one elemental.

01:18:11.440 That's one of the ones that includes a non-binary character, which had one of the worst openings

01:18:16.580 ever, worst opening weekend in company history.

01:18:20.000 We could go down the list.

01:18:22.000 Uh, the people are not buying this content.

01:18:24.700 They don't want this content.

01:18:26.220 And slowly but surely, you know, you have, um, oh, we almost covered this story yesterday.

01:18:30.780 Netflix, which right after George Floyd created some group that was going to add little addendums

01:18:35.740 onto its movies like going with the wind is racist and sort of put contextualize all these

01:18:41.400 old films like that's a me to her that that division has been eliminated bit by bit.

01:18:47.780 All these media companies are eliminating and big, big tech companies are eliminating their

01:18:52.140 heads of diversity because it's just a wasted position where somebody just glorifies their

01:18:56.380 wokeness and tries to lecture.

01:18:58.160 Yes.

01:18:58.520 So it's failing.

01:18:59.400 It is failing.

01:19:02.940 So a couple of thoughts.

01:19:03.700 Number one, streaming itself is there's two big bubbles that I think are going to pop

01:19:07.780 the commercial real estate bubble and the streaming bubble, the amount of money that

01:19:12.140 the streaming wars generated or just that they plowed into crappy content, Megan, it's

01:19:17.280 like 99% of it is just garbage.

01:19:19.560 And so as streaming was ascendant during COVID, you had Hulu, you had, which is owned by Disney.

01:19:25.320 You have Disney plus, you have Paramount, you had Netflix, you had Amazon.

01:19:28.880 They would just pour hundreds of millions, billions of dollars into any and all content

01:19:33.220 they could get their hands on.

01:19:34.420 And a lot of it is just trash.

01:19:35.880 And so they have just libraries of this content that nobody is watching when in reality, it's

01:19:40.020 kind of like private equity, which is like one in 30 deals actually end up paying the

01:19:43.960 bills.

01:19:44.280 Like one in 250 asset purchases and streaming actually end up generating any sort of traffic

01:19:51.460 or retention.

01:19:52.300 And so they have all this wasted content.

01:19:54.760 But Megan, it's worse than that.

01:19:56.140 It's that they then had had half of their content allocation had to be in kind of the

01:20:00.880 woke bucket.

01:20:01.720 And I don't know about you.

01:20:02.740 I mean, I haven't gone to Netflix on Netflix in a couple months, but like every other show

01:20:07.120 is like some black lesbian in a wheelchair, like protesting some injustice.

01:20:11.200 I'm like, I don't like it's just not very interesting to me.

01:20:14.880 Right.

01:20:15.160 Like, oh, yeah, comedy or a drama thriller.

01:20:18.760 Yes.

01:20:19.020 Or just something or like a World War Two documentary or I don't know, something that just isn't

01:20:24.140 complaining.

01:20:25.180 Right.

01:20:25.540 Like, listen to me complain for 90 minutes.

01:20:28.820 Like, OK, great.

01:20:30.220 Like, I got enough of that.

01:20:31.680 Can I watch something that is like wholesome and virtuous?

01:20:35.280 Even like the kids notice it.

01:20:38.000 Oh, yes.

01:20:38.840 And by the way, it doesn't elevate you.

01:20:41.040 Right.

01:20:41.260 And that kind of goes back to a theme we're talking about.

01:20:42.980 Do we have things that lift us up where it tries to make us become better humans and,

01:20:48.180 you know, talk about what is good and virtuous and beautiful and what is heroic and courageous?

01:20:53.780 And that really is what art at its best should be.

01:20:57.120 And so you look at the box office this week with almost no promotion, total word of mouth.

01:21:01.980 The number one movie in America right now is Sound of Freedom, which is an amazing story

01:21:06.260 about anti-child sex trafficking.

01:21:08.660 Beat Indiana Jones, beat all of this.

01:21:10.720 And so Disney's $900 million bloodbath, I think, is only beginning.

01:21:14.740 And Bob Iger, who now has reassumed the role of CEO of Disney, has a really tough kind of

01:21:21.340 situation in front of him because he has so many radical employees that he relies upon

01:21:27.020 for graphic design, for screenwriting that are so all in on the LGBTQ agenda.

01:21:32.780 He has to continue to push content at least out to satisfy their demand.

01:21:37.340 And so he has this anchor that he has to just, okay, guys, you know, once every month, we're

01:21:42.260 going to have another gay kissing scene in whatever movie we're doing and whether it be

01:21:46.540 Lightyear or, you know, we're going to do Aladdin, but this time Aladdin is actually trans.

01:21:51.260 Like, okay, great.

01:21:52.620 You know, how many renditions or we're going to do Lion King, but instead of, you know,

01:21:57.240 the hero's journey, it's really that, you know, they're not allowed to stay in the Great

01:22:01.940 Plains because of climate change.

01:22:02.980 Like how many different political elements can you incorporate in this?

01:22:06.240 And so you're going to see mass layups.

01:22:08.340 So there's two big bubbles that are going to pop, the streaming bubble and the commercial

01:22:11.420 real estate bubble.

01:22:12.380 They're both, they've both been created for different reasons.

01:22:15.040 The streaming one, and I try not to make a habit, Megan, of rejoicing and the suffering

01:22:19.800 of people or companies.

01:22:21.640 I have suspended that rule.

01:22:23.180 I am loving this bloodbath.

01:22:25.160 I love the misery.

01:22:26.060 I love the suffering because Disney used to be a wholesome, family-friendly company that

01:22:31.660 made billions of dollars off of families like my own that I grew up in when my parents

01:22:35.600 trusted Disney.

01:22:36.560 They violated that trust and they deserve to suffer.

01:22:40.100 Yes, I'd love to see it too.

01:22:42.080 I want to, I want to correct myself.

01:22:43.680 Buzz is not gay in the remake.

01:22:46.900 My team's informing me characters in the remake.

01:22:50.060 They're basically trying to force the gay agenda, just like the woman said she tries to do in

01:22:53.280 every Disney film.

01:22:54.480 Then there's a movie called Strange World, which centers on a romantic relationship between

01:23:00.380 two male characters.

01:23:02.040 That one lost a staggering $197 million at the box office.

01:23:09.020 I mean, that is brutal.

01:23:11.800 So hopefully they'll learn their lesson just like all these others are.

01:23:15.100 And there was, it's one of, I can't remember the pitch, but it's a Meghan Markle pitch to,

01:23:21.160 I think Spotify or Netflix on how they want to take some old British character from, it's

01:23:26.360 like the, one of the, one of the classic, like Grimm's fairy tales, one of them, and

01:23:29.500 reinvent this, this woman who's like a curmudgeonly or elderly person as really just downtrodden because

01:23:37.120 of the patriarchy.

01:23:37.920 And now she's empowered and you get her backstory.

01:23:40.580 You understand, like nobody wants this drivel.

01:23:43.460 No one's going to pay for this nonsense.

01:23:45.420 So slowly but surely we're having our say.

01:23:48.020 Yes, and the boycotts are making a difference.

01:23:51.800 We are having our say.

01:23:53.200 Again, if you want to talk about a potential gold rush, a non-woke creative team that is

01:23:58.800 able to just deliver content that is wholesome, that is uplifting, that is funny, that can

01:24:05.240 challenge kind of the, let's just say, insane orthodoxies that reign the day, right?

01:24:11.240 I mean, it's just, there's so much opportunity there.

01:24:14.640 I don't know who is going to seize it, but right now there's an unsustainable business

01:24:19.800 model that came after Floydapalooza of the major streaming giants that are collapsing in

01:24:25.480 front of our eyes.

01:24:26.560 If they decide to actually, I don't know, produce real content of stories that people

01:24:30.640 care about that are not just rooted in whatever woke incantation and mantra that will satisfy

01:24:37.800 the ACLU and the human rights campaign, go for it.

01:24:40.720 But one of the most promising developments of 2023, Megan, in a year that has been frustrating,

01:24:46.360 to say the least, is how finally there is a little bit of corporate suffering that is

01:24:52.720 happening if they go too woke.

01:24:55.280 Whether it be Target, we see it with Bud Light, we see it with Disney and many others.

01:25:00.340 Whether this will manifest and spread to other places, we shall see.

01:25:03.440 But when you're dealing with family content and you decide to try to make, you know, the

01:25:08.180 most radical gay agenda, the forefront thing, don't be shocked when families start to unsubscribe.

01:25:14.560 That's right.

01:25:15.060 Here's the thing on Meghan Markle.

01:25:17.740 Harry and Meghan's potential next great idea is a great expectations inspired show.

01:25:23.700 This is according to The Mirror.

01:25:25.120 The show is apparently called Bad Manners and the production will be based on Charles Dickens'

01:25:29.560 character, Miss Havisham.

01:25:30.780 The prequel will recast The Lonely Spinster as a strong woman who is living in a patriarchal

01:25:37.780 society.

01:25:41.080 It's amazing.

01:25:42.400 No one wants to see that.

01:25:44.360 No one wants to see anything like that.

01:25:47.340 And I mean, I look at a show that I mean, you look at like Downton Abbey, which is like

01:25:51.540 one of the most successful shows of the last 10 years.

01:25:54.020 Maybe people actually want a restoration of the traditional and the ordinary and the elevating

01:26:00.600 of things that have passed down successfully for multiple generations.

01:26:04.800 Not everything has to be an activist campaign of weaponized complaining.

01:26:10.020 In fact, it's really not that enjoyable to watch.

01:26:13.020 No, you're so right on.

01:26:15.480 And you think about Downton Abbey.

01:26:16.960 Yes, these you know, the women there are in traditional roles and so on.

01:26:19.840 But I loved that show.

01:26:21.600 Lady Mary was really the strongest character on the whole thing.

01:26:24.920 They didn't portray women as these weak, sad little characters.

01:26:28.180 This is this is Meghan Markle's view of Hollywood that everybody's.

01:26:31.280 Yes.

01:26:31.620 No, just because you're in a traditional family with sort of old school approaches to values

01:26:35.860 and culture doesn't mean the women are disempowered.

01:26:38.240 As I said, Lady Mary was probably the strongest character on the show.

01:26:41.120 Yes.

01:26:41.260 Old Lord Grantham, less so.

01:26:44.360 And what you notice in the writing of Downton Abbey, it's a profoundly deep story is that,

01:26:49.640 OK, a woman might be in a traditional role, but there are complexities and challenges and

01:26:54.080 issues and the drama and the tension.

01:26:57.300 It's almost you can't look away.

01:26:59.180 And so this isn't that hard, right?

01:27:01.260 You and I are kind of figuring out this on air really simply.

01:27:04.600 Why won't Disney?

01:27:05.700 They know it, too, but they're held hostage, Meghan, because every time they might float this

01:27:10.060 out in a creative design meeting, one out of 10 will say, excuse me, why do we not have

01:27:17.100 a black trans person as the lead?

01:27:19.620 And so that activist pressure is present in every one of those creative meetings at Disney.

01:27:25.700 And it's going to be the death of these companies.

01:27:28.660 You saw this at ESPN, Meghan.

01:27:30.140 And it's too bad because actually legitimate talent is now being let off.

01:27:33.560 And you could see they would rather let off the kind of straight white guy who actually

01:27:38.140 Todd McShay, for example, does a great job for football reporting because that's perfectly

01:27:41.880 justifiable.

01:27:42.680 When in reality, hey, Disney, why don't you fire 30 percent of your unnecessary graphic

01:27:47.920 design department that is obviously holding your entire company hostage to create content

01:27:53.660 that doesn't turn a profit that, quite honestly, is disgusting, vile and repulsive?

01:27:57.680 Yeah, I've told the audience the story, but Doug and I went to see Macbeth on Broadway last

01:28:02.960 year.

01:28:03.400 It was starring Daniel Craig, so we might thought it might be cool.

01:28:06.020 Wrong, wrong.

01:28:07.080 So, you know, 17th century Scotland and it's a minority majority cast.

01:28:12.980 Oh, don't get me started about this.

01:28:15.080 All right.

01:28:15.440 So that's a little off, but OK.

01:28:17.540 And then can I tell you, the person cast to play the king's son was a woman with blue

01:28:24.280 spiky hair.

01:28:25.080 And then honestly, as if on cue, they had a guy come out to start it to say hello to

01:28:32.200 us.

01:28:32.360 And then he wound up being in the play, too, in the wheelchair.

01:28:34.580 It was it was everything you just said.

01:28:37.640 Oh, and it's just I mean, for example, you go see the new Phantom of the Opera.

01:28:41.780 It's it's indecipherable from like a BLM, you know, press press operation.

01:28:47.740 OK, like it's just not the setting of the I don't need this force fed.

01:28:53.600 It's so forced.

01:28:55.180 And there there there is a rejection where finally people are saying, OK, I don't want

01:29:00.580 to be called a racist, but this is just not enjoyable.

01:29:03.960 And but hey, the revolution knows no bounds, Megan.

01:29:06.500 This will not stop unless they're stopped.

01:29:08.980 And the best news is eventually these companies have to turn a profit or else their stock price

01:29:14.420 is going to go south quickly.

01:29:15.840 We'll see what happens.

01:29:17.520 Yeah, I hope you're right.

01:29:18.840 More with Charlie just ahead.

01:29:20.080 Plenty more to get to.

01:29:20.960 Don't go away.

01:29:23.600 Sadly, there is nothing more quintessentially American than fireworks and gun violence.

01:29:29.020 I have to say I did not go out on July 4th and would not.

01:29:32.440 The idea of going to a mass gathering, a parade or a big fireworks thing outside seems

01:29:37.300 insane to me, to be blunt, in America, because America is awash with guns.

01:29:41.900 And now people don't just have them.

01:29:43.880 They seem to want to shoot people with them and use them for whatever, you know.

01:29:47.780 Oh, that was our friend, Joy Reid.

01:29:51.020 Welcome back to the Megyn Kelly show.

01:29:52.580 Charlie Kirk remains with me.

01:29:54.320 This is a multimillionaire who went to Harvard.

01:29:56.460 I can't go out on the streets.

01:29:57.680 I'm going to get shot.

01:29:58.780 You think?

01:29:59.960 Yeah.

01:30:00.380 I mean, look, I have a couple thoughts on this.

01:30:03.700 First of all, this is the same sort of neuroticism that was kind of the premise of COVID, that you

01:30:10.180 can't have a decent life because of some sort of, you know, fringe likelihood that something

01:30:15.920 might happen to you.

01:30:16.740 And I wish Joy Reid was just honest.

01:30:18.900 Where, where, what part of American culture is it customary to fire off weapons in July

01:30:25.420 4th?

01:30:26.700 What part of America does that usually happen?

01:30:29.140 In largely urban black centered areas.

01:30:31.380 This is not a racial comment, but does she have the courage to say that?

01:30:34.660 Like, look, if you go to a fireworks celebration in Des Moines, Iowa, I think you're going to

01:30:39.140 be just fine, Joy Reid.

01:30:40.500 I think you're fine.

01:30:41.280 If you go to downtown Philly, I don't know.

01:30:43.720 I mean, so if she wants to make a political statement here about it, go for it.

01:30:49.220 But if she wants to talk about gun violence on July 4th, you know, I was raised in the

01:30:54.100 suburbs of Chicago and it's a tragic pattern, but you would see the next day, 45 shot in

01:31:00.680 downtown Chicago, 10 killed in downtown Chicago the day after July 4th.

01:31:05.300 And so I have a lot of thoughts on Joy Reid and we can proceed with in that way.

01:31:09.140 I found one of the most illuminating comments from her the last week where she said she

01:31:12.400 only got into Harvard because of affirmative action, which I found to be quite interesting

01:31:17.580 and fitting.

01:31:18.620 But she is she is now allowing her neurotic fear of whatever, you know, gun violence or

01:31:26.020 thing to happen to dictate her behavior.

01:31:28.200 Exactly the same sort of operating premise that we lived lived through under COVID.

01:31:32.300 Yeah.

01:31:32.660 And honestly, I mean, we talked about the Philadelphia shooting.

01:31:34.820 That was July 3rd.

01:31:35.600 There are there are shootings in America.

01:31:38.780 We have over 400 million guns, but your odds of actually being targeted in one of these

01:31:43.700 mass shootings are still you have better chance of being struck by lightning.

01:31:48.000 I mean, it's just absolutely astronomical.

01:31:49.980 The odds against this happening.

01:31:52.960 And yet she wants to scare the bejesus out of her audience that the streets of America

01:31:57.460 are basically just a hellhole.

01:31:59.240 Like that WNBA player said yesterday, America's trash.

01:32:02.360 We're trash.

01:32:03.260 We're not doing right by people.

01:32:04.700 OK, sure, sure.

01:32:06.160 And, you know, it's it reminds me of, you know, the Michelle Obama comments after the

01:32:10.440 Supreme Court opinion striking down affirmative action in college admissions.

01:32:14.900 She made it sound like this is just the America of Jim Crow.

01:32:18.340 And, you know, she's so super sad for the poor people who this is going to affect.

01:32:22.300 You know, you work so hard.

01:32:23.580 You toil away.

01:32:24.740 You don't have any connections.

01:32:25.780 And then, you know, you're one lane for getting it gets shut down.

01:32:29.520 And I said the day she said this, you know what?

01:32:32.060 Same, Michelle.

01:32:32.860 I had no connections.

01:32:33.860 I worked super hard.

01:32:35.000 I had absolutely no family legacy, just like you.

01:32:37.560 It's not a black thing.

01:32:38.920 You know, it's a class thing for the most part.

01:32:41.020 If your parents didn't go to Harvard, it makes it extra hard to get into Harvard.

01:32:43.480 And you don't need a side door just because you're black.

01:32:45.840 It helps if you have no connections, you have no money.

01:32:48.420 Those are the people who could use help getting in.

01:32:50.460 But she wants to make it all about race.

01:32:52.160 And now it turns out, Charlie, I'm sure you saw this, but.

01:32:55.780 Like days before or a week or so before she was lamenting about this terrible state of

01:33:00.760 our country, she was out with Tom Hanks on his yacht.

01:33:06.360 She was the oppressed Obamas were out on the Tom Hanks yacht vacationing with Tom Hanks,

01:33:14.280 a different kind of American royalty, some lavish vacation with Tom Hanks family in Greece,

01:33:20.800 crying about our shitty country.

01:33:22.480 Yes, yeah, where, yeah, Greece, where diversity is their strength as well.

01:33:27.680 I mean, could you pick a more kind of homogenous country?

01:33:31.120 So look, I mean, this is the affirmative action thing.

01:33:34.260 I'm super glad the Supreme Court did what they did.

01:33:36.180 I wish they would have been even more forceful.

01:33:37.880 And it's very simple.

01:33:38.880 Should race matter in the selection of individuals for positions?

01:33:42.600 And the answer needs to be unequivocally.

01:33:44.080 No, race does not matter.

01:33:45.680 Your competency should matter.

01:33:46.780 Your character should matter.

01:33:47.740 Now, are there going to be difficulties and externalities?

01:33:53.140 Of course, that's called life.

01:33:54.920 However, what Michelle Obama and Joy Reid, they act as if the only reason why blacks are

01:34:00.580 not able to get into certain colleges is because of racism.

01:34:04.040 As if there are no other factors whatsoever, such as are they more or less likely to be raised

01:34:09.700 in a two-parent home?

01:34:11.020 Pretty important consideration.

01:34:12.520 When you have two parents around, the child is less likely to go to prison, more likely

01:34:16.280 to graduate high school, more likely to have a job, less likely to commit crimes.

01:34:19.880 Why don't they ever talk about that?

01:34:21.440 Well, because they would much rather create an entire set of political circumstances that

01:34:25.480 allow them to virtue signal from their super yacht in the Aegean, which is, oh, yeah, America

01:34:31.760 is so unbelievably racist.

01:34:33.620 Keep on giving us political power and watch our Netflix documentary because you are super

01:34:38.840 oppressed and you might as well not make good decisions.

01:34:41.040 One of the things that I'm trying to do at Turning Point USA and that I'm trying to push

01:34:44.820 our leaders to do is you need to have a public policy agenda that challenges people to improve

01:34:50.280 their own life, does not challenge them to complain or try to bring down pre-existing

01:34:55.460 power structures.

01:34:56.680 Yes, life is difficult.

01:34:57.960 Life is hard.

01:34:58.740 You might not be treated fairly all the time.

01:35:00.680 What are you going to do about it?

01:35:02.540 And when it comes to affirmative action, it was the active discrimination against white and

01:35:06.980 Asian students to lower standards to try to make Harvard or University of North Carolina,

01:35:14.000 you know, quote unquote, more diverse, a completely irrelevant goal.

01:35:18.360 People's skin color should mean nothing to us.

01:35:20.500 The content of your melanin means nothing to me.

01:35:22.960 I care about are you qualified?

01:35:24.440 Are you ambitious?

01:35:25.600 Are you a person of good character?

01:35:27.480 This is the goal that Martin Luther King once charted for our country.

01:35:31.360 Affirmative action is at direct odds against that.

01:35:34.100 But it's fitting.

01:35:35.620 It's fitting because Michelle Obama and Joy Reid, their racket would be over, Megan, if

01:35:40.080 they said, you know what, maybe you should just work harder and stop doing drugs and wake

01:35:45.240 up earlier and you're going to live a good life.

01:35:48.000 Oh, no, no.

01:35:48.340 They could never say that.

01:35:49.700 Instead, they remain rich, powerful and untouchable.

01:35:55.200 The more that they can convince their portion of their, you know, following or population that

01:36:01.520 there is a racist boogeyman out to get them.

01:36:03.740 You might as well not even try because the game is so rigged against you while I'm on

01:36:07.360 my super yacht with Tom Hanks in the Mediterranean.

01:36:11.200 And by the way, I was first lady and my husband was the president.

01:36:15.260 Yes, of course.

01:36:16.540 Obviously, there is a woman named Edith Egger who wrote this book, The Choice, which is

01:36:21.860 amazing.

01:36:22.220 And it's she was she was a Jewish girl during the Holocaust who was subjected to absolute

01:36:30.820 horrors and lived somehow lived through it all and wrote this amazing book.

01:36:35.740 And my friend Alison Barklage, who I've mentioned on the show, her son Blake died at age 17 last

01:36:40.600 year of myocarditis.

01:36:42.920 She I said, Alison, how are you like this?

01:36:44.800 How are you able to function?

01:36:45.880 How are you able to still able to laugh?

01:36:47.940 And she recommended this book to help me understand.

01:36:50.660 And this woman, Edith, has a saying which everybody should remember, and it is suffering

01:36:56.520 is universal.

01:36:58.000 Victimhood is optional.

01:36:59.780 That just sums it all up, Charlie.

01:37:01.520 That's what you're trying to teach.

01:37:03.280 Yes.

01:37:03.820 No, that's exactly right.

01:37:04.960 And that I'm familiar with that text.

01:37:06.620 I've never read it, but it sounds very similar to a book that has impacted my life greatly.

01:37:10.720 Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning.

01:37:12.260 Similar circumstance, where it says you have agency, you have a choice of what you are going

01:37:16.500 to make of your suffering.

01:37:18.000 And it is the story that you tell yourself about the suffering that will determine your

01:37:22.260 life.

01:37:23.080 And so suffering, again, is universal.

01:37:24.920 The first, you know, Buddhist principle is life is suffering, that there's nothing but

01:37:29.060 suffering as far as the eye can see.

01:37:31.000 And what Viktor Frankl argues in the book Man's Search for Meaning, Concentration Camp Survivor,

01:37:35.880 is that it's the people who found purpose in their suffering that were the most likely to

01:37:41.080 survive in the concentration camp.

01:37:42.620 They were able to find the most happiness, the most joy, and the most fulfillment, and

01:37:46.900 the most purpose.

01:37:47.920 Now, Megan, I will acknowledge that takes a lot of effort in a modern society where the

01:37:51.940 incentive structure is whoever complains the most and the best gets the first prize.

01:37:58.980 The oppression Olympics goes to you that can find the most amount of currency points of who

01:38:05.060 is the most aggrieved party.

01:38:06.960 And so it takes intentionality.

01:38:08.920 It takes focus to actually have a posture of gratitude, to have an attitude of, I'm

01:38:15.540 incredibly blessed, and I'm going to take responsibility for my own actions.

01:38:19.260 And mind you, it's not always popular to say this because people are looking for somebody

01:38:23.960 to blame for their own circumstance.

01:38:25.960 But I can say in my own life, it's liberating and freeing.

01:38:29.200 And quite honestly, it brings me joy to say, you know what?

01:38:32.280 But I'm able to decide how I react to my circumstances as an act of my own will to find meaning in

01:38:39.160 that suffering.

01:38:39.760 And my faith is very important to me in that way.

01:38:41.620 And the current modern orthodoxy is totally against that, which is point fingers at somebody

01:38:47.720 else.

01:38:48.100 You're not happy because of racism, colonialism, misogyny, homophobia, and you are actually

01:38:54.720 not in charge of your own destiny.

01:38:56.700 I find that worldview to be depressing and disempowering.

01:39:00.180 We're trying to show young people that there is a better way.

01:39:03.800 Totally agree.

01:39:04.360 This is why we love Turning Point.

01:39:05.780 And I want to tell the audience that if you like this messaging, you're going to hear a

01:39:09.800 lot more of it next week in West Palm Beach, Florida at the Turning Point Action Conference.

01:39:16.020 Yes.

01:39:16.240 I will be there along with Tucker Carlson, President Trump, Dan Bongino, Charlie, of course.

01:39:23.780 We're going to have a great time.

01:39:24.580 I'm really looking forward to you, Charlie.

01:39:25.720 And I'm really grateful for the way you just never stop.

01:39:28.680 I mean, you are spreading this message in every state in the union and every college campus.

01:39:33.540 You just never stop.

01:39:34.940 So what what can the people can they still get tickets for this event that we're going

01:39:38.200 to next weekend?

01:39:39.240 Yes, there's a couple of tickets remaining.

01:39:41.480 TPaction.com.

01:39:42.500 It's going to be legendary.

01:39:44.340 Super thrilled you're coming, Megan.

01:39:45.680 And thank you for taking the time.

01:39:47.520 I mean, Tucker is going to have a lot of set.

01:39:49.140 It's a lot to say.

01:39:49.800 I can't wait to hear, you know, what he has to talk about.

01:39:52.580 Obviously, President Trump is going to let it rip.

01:39:54.700 We might have some other presidential candidates attend.

01:39:57.700 We'll see what happens.

01:39:58.760 But this is going to be the largest event of its kind this calendar year.

01:40:02.720 We're anticipating 6000 super activists.

01:40:05.200 These are the mama bears.

01:40:06.220 These are the student workers in Turning Point that are really making things happen.

01:40:10.300 And so people can still get tickets at TPaction.com.

01:40:13.380 If you're in South Florida, come by.

01:40:15.100 We have day tickets, two day tickets.

01:40:17.540 And Megan, can't wait to hear, you know, what you have to say because our audience really

01:40:21.860 respects you.

01:40:22.560 They respect your voice and your courage and really how you're calling out really the lies

01:40:28.080 of our time today.

01:40:29.400 And so it's next weekend, TPaction.com.

01:40:32.040 And it's going to be a historic event.

01:40:33.520 I can't wait to go.

01:40:35.140 I was honored that you invited me.

01:40:36.640 And it sounds like a super fun crowd.

01:40:38.440 There's so much to discuss.

01:40:40.480 Charlie Kirk, thank you.

01:40:41.900 And happily, I will see you very soon.

01:40:44.420 And all of you watching and listening, see you soon, too.

01:40:47.040 We'll have the full rundown of what happens after I go.

01:40:49.780 And don't forget, go ahead and buy those tickets because I'd love to meet you in person if you

01:40:53.760 manage to make it there.

01:40:54.840 We'll see you tomorrow.

01:40:55.760 Thanks for joining us today.

01:40:59.280 Thanks for listening to The Megan Kelly Show.
