WEBVTT 00:00:39.690 --> 00:00:41.590 If they want to get you, they'll get you. 00:00:42.050 --> 00:00:45.270 DNSA specifically targets the communications of everyone. 00:00:46.070 --> 00:00:47.790 They're collecting your communications. 00:00:57.100 --> 00:01:03.780 Okay, everybody. It is thought crime Thursday live from the Imperial capital. Can we get the wide shot going here? 00:01:03.940 --> 00:01:09.780 Can we just go why look at this? Not the greatest looking thing you've ever seen Charlie. That desk is enormous 00:01:11.020 --> 00:01:12.380 It's like a DCTC 00:01:12.930 --> 00:01:20.090 It's a DC TC. That's right. DC TC. So is there only one remote guest? Is it Blake? It's Blake. Why did Blake leave? 00:01:20.110 --> 00:01:21.190 You can't escape me. 00:01:22.230 --> 00:01:28.390 No one told me to stay. I was only booked. I specifically said, let's all do thought crime in DC. 00:01:29.210 --> 00:01:30.870 Yeah, you said it yesterday. 00:01:31.850 --> 00:01:34.490 And then I'm like, hey, where are you Blake? And you're like, oh, I flew back to Phoenix. 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:41.820 So it is it is great to see you all we are here live from DC so much to recap and 00:01:41.820 --> 00:01:44.940 Go over I really want to spend time to kind of go through inauguration 00:01:45.580 --> 00:01:48.680 weekend before we even get into some of the substance of all the 00:01:49.140 --> 00:01:55.020 Executive orders and everything that we've gone through. What is the best way to start this conversation Jack? 00:01:55.380 --> 00:01:56.860 I know that there is some prompting here 00:01:57.160 --> 00:01:59.660 But I think the other one is... 00:01:59.660 --> 00:02:06.160 So Charlie Kirk is very naughty, Charlie Kirk is very bad, how dare Charlie Kirk be 00:02:06.160 --> 00:02:15.400 allowed to have a place of honor in the inauguration and the inaugural hall or whatever we're calling 00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:19.660 there's capital rotunda from the day of because this became the big sort of 00:02:20.350 --> 00:02:24.650 talk of the, you know, the whisper talk of DC. Everybody knows the way Washington DC, 00:02:24.870 --> 00:02:30.670 and it is a very historic kind of, you know, kind of discussion as to, you know, so who is 00:02:30.670 --> 00:02:35.390 seated closest to the king, you know, your proximity is power, et cetera, which is, and by the way, 00:02:36.570 --> 00:02:43.030 This is actually true, but there was a lot of chatter that certain House Republicans 00:02:43.030 --> 00:02:48.210 were very, very upset that Charlie Kirk, who isn't even an elected member of Congress, 00:02:48.570 --> 00:02:50.550 got to sit in a better seat. 00:02:50.550 --> 00:02:52.550 Not just Charlie Kirk, plus wife. 00:02:52.990 --> 00:02:54.330 Charlie Kirk, plus wife! 00:02:54.790 --> 00:02:55.730 How dare we? 00:02:56.150 --> 00:02:57.310 How dare we? 00:02:57.390 --> 00:02:58.650 Let's show some of these pictures. 00:02:58.930 --> 00:03:01.070 We're allowed to sit closer than some of them. 00:03:01.910 --> 00:03:06.730 So, obviously, we know that the outdoor service ceremony was canceled. 00:03:06.850 --> 00:03:08.550 By the way, right decision, would you agree, Andrew? 00:03:09.030 --> 00:03:15.290 I tell you what, I think it was absolutely 100%, 1,000% the right decision. 00:03:15.650 --> 00:03:18.730 But Charlie, you're bringing up another sort of controversy. 00:03:18.990 --> 00:03:21.350 Was it because of the weather or were there other concerns? 00:03:22.330 --> 00:03:25.830 And so I just want to flag that in case we want to go back to it, because I would like 00:03:25.830 --> 00:03:25.970 to. 00:03:26.490 --> 00:03:30.090 Well, no, I'm just saying that if you even walked outside in the cold. 00:03:30.380 --> 00:03:36.280 The wind it was it people would have died like people do not appreciate how bone-chillingly cold 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.680 Now for me a Chicago and I was like, okay 00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:42.880 Just wear more clothing but you understand there's people from all across the country that are coming in that'll drive in from 00:03:42.880 --> 00:03:47.200 Georgia and South Carolina that are not used to this some old person would have died 00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:52.300 Donald Trump saved lives before he was even in office. So it got moved into the Capitol rotunda 00:03:52.990 --> 00:03:57.590 It was actually my first time ever in the rotunda, believe it or not. I've done the capital thing. Wait, what? 00:03:57.870 --> 00:04:01.630 Yeah, I've never been in the capital. Wait, you've never been in the capital rotunda. Yeah, I've been in the capital 00:04:02.030 --> 00:04:06.270 I was in the area where the State of the Union is administered the house chamber, right? 00:04:06.630 --> 00:04:08.830 I've been in the Senate chamber, but never the rotunda 00:04:09.590 --> 00:04:13.770 But that's like like you're walking. Well, you've just never done the tourist thing, seen the paintings. 00:04:14.290 --> 00:04:22.090 So I have to give a little inside baseball here. I got to do a tour in which speaker Johnson, I know 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:28.960 We like him. Okay ish. All right. He's doing some good stuff. He gave us a private tour a little bit 00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:33.500 He's gonna get so much hate mail. I know I'm gonna get freedom at charliekirk.com. I yeah, let me have it 00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:34.240 I listen 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:40.040 I got an opportunity to do a private tour and then speaker Johnson address address the tour. Okay, and 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:43.100 They actually took us 00:04:45.110 --> 00:04:48.190 inside the area where they were setting up the luncheon 00:04:48.190 --> 00:04:50.370 and where they were going to do the actual swearing in. 00:04:50.590 --> 00:04:52.490 And I got to see the rotunda and all that stuff. 00:04:52.570 --> 00:04:55.550 So I wasn't like Charlie exclusive by any means. 00:04:56.730 --> 00:04:58.230 But it was very, very cool. 00:04:58.430 --> 00:05:00.690 And I will tell you, Charlie, you 00:05:00.690 --> 00:05:02.050 had this experience, I'm sure, as well. 00:05:02.250 --> 00:05:03.830 It's way smaller in person. 00:05:04.270 --> 00:05:07.230 that whole space is way smaller in person than it appears on TV. 00:05:07.550 --> 00:05:09.710 It's super small. Yeah, it's extremely tight. 00:05:10.370 --> 00:05:12.890 And so there was kind of the war over ticketing. 00:05:13.130 --> 00:05:16.750 So let's kind of show the picture of the Rotunda from the interior. 00:05:17.010 --> 00:05:23.750 So as things got announced, there was a non-stop fight from donors, influencers, 00:05:24.030 --> 00:05:26.730 elected officials of who actually gets in the Rotunda. 00:05:27.170 --> 00:05:28.270 Now this is very complicated. 00:05:29.370 --> 00:05:31.870 because the Presidential Inaugural Committee, 00:05:32.070 --> 00:05:35.830 otherwise known as JASIC, does not control all the tickets. 00:05:36.210 --> 00:05:39.190 It is a joint committee between the Senate, the House, 00:05:39.650 --> 00:05:41.430 and the incoming administration. 00:05:42.190 --> 00:05:44.870 So, as soon as you decide to go in the rotunda, 00:05:45.270 --> 00:05:48.590 you are 100% in Article 1 land, 00:05:48.690 --> 00:05:49.850 within the House and the Senate. 00:05:50.370 --> 00:05:52.570 So therefore, if you look at the picture, 00:05:52.650 --> 00:05:54.390 before you even get to like, 00:05:54.730 --> 00:05:58.350 you know some of Trump's friends outside of the dais and I'll get to the dais in a second 00:05:58.350 --> 00:06:03.790 it's all senators yeah so the senators hogged all of the ticket you're in you're in controlled 00:06:03.790 --> 00:06:10.430 territory there they control that so to just put this in perspective there were about 680 seats 00:06:10.430 --> 00:06:19.610 in the retunda about 400 of them were for congress so there was only 230 tickets allocated for 00:06:20.190 --> 00:06:27.090 Trump and his team family and even some select donors. So that huge war over actually who gets ticketing 00:06:27.090 --> 00:06:34.070 There was an overflow room where people like Theo Vaughn were and Logan Paul and Megan Kelly and all the governors 00:06:34.070 --> 00:06:36.430 All the governors were in the overflow room, right? 00:06:36.830 --> 00:06:38.910 So super honored and thank you to 00:06:38.910 --> 00:06:46.910 Susie and thank you to everyone who worked so hard on this for approving not just myself, but also Erica big big lift and that's 00:06:47.290 --> 00:06:48.010 Big deal, right? 00:06:48.550 --> 00:06:49.630 It was a huge honor. 00:06:49.970 --> 00:06:51.550 And actually, it was a huge honor for all of us 00:06:51.550 --> 00:06:55.470 that work on all of our, yeah, exactly, the fact 00:06:55.470 --> 00:07:00.390 that we had a literal seat at the table via you was huge. 00:07:00.530 --> 00:07:02.910 And by the way, not just us, all the grassroots, 00:07:03.310 --> 00:07:04.870 all the activists, it was a testament 00:07:04.870 --> 00:07:07.810 to how hard we've all worked and how hard the team has worked, 00:07:08.050 --> 00:07:09.630 turning point action, turning point USA. 00:07:10.310 --> 00:07:13.370 I mean, it really was a huge, huge honor for the grassroots. 00:07:13.670 --> 00:07:15.590 I was so touched to be able to just be included. 00:07:16.420 --> 00:07:17.580 There was no 00:07:18.700 --> 00:07:22.340 difference between how you entered. I entered alongside of 00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:24.460 Katanji Brown Jackson, 00:07:25.660 --> 00:07:26.540 Brett Kavanaugh, 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.720 Clarence Thomas, the whole Supreme Court walked in as I walked in. 00:07:30.220 --> 00:07:33.920 Literally, like we were just kind of walking in together. There just there was no 00:07:34.448 --> 00:07:35.440 guard, there was not I mean 00:07:35.440 --> 00:07:39.780 there was just all kind of one line as you enter into the like from outside into 00:07:40.400 --> 00:07:43.640 the uh into the Capitol. By the way, I need to tell my CCP story. 00:07:44.180 --> 00:07:48.000 Okay, it's an exclusive story. I haven't told which actually plays into this morning, but okay 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:54.040 Have you have you debriefed this yet with our I guess we I guess we don't have any national security confirmed 00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:58.680 No, no, I I have told Mike waltz about this. It's a very serious issue 00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:02.780 Okay, so I'll get the CCP story later in the program because it's it's worth it 00:08:02.780 --> 00:08:07.180 but anyway honor to have been included and so I started to get 00:08:08.080 --> 00:08:12.200 Text messages while I'm sitting in there that this woman tweeted 00:08:12.670 --> 00:08:18.050 saying that some anonymous Republican lawmaker was mad that I had better tickets than them. 00:08:18.890 --> 00:08:23.930 Now, mind you, Eric Swalwell was literally right behind me. Now, I think I deserve great praise 00:08:24.512 --> 00:08:32.690 because I went through high road virality, high road virality. I said here we are at a 00:08:32.690 --> 00:08:38.210 presidential inauguration and I wanted so badly when it was over to take out my phone 00:08:38.640 --> 00:08:41.420 And say, hey, Congressman Swalwell, are you accepting the pardon? 00:08:41.700 --> 00:08:42.820 Are you accepting the pardon? 00:08:42.900 --> 00:08:44.000 Because he was on the J6 committee. 00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:45.880 I decided not to do it. 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.280 See, I had the same situation, although it was with other Republicans when we were at 00:08:50.280 --> 00:08:50.720 the ball. 00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:56.580 And I was like, you know, this would really go viral with a certain, I don't know, maybe 00:08:56.980 --> 00:09:03.280 Congresswoman from South Carolina or certain other conservative talkers that, but you know, 00:09:03.340 --> 00:09:04.740 I was like, you know what, it's a day for unity. 00:09:05.220 --> 00:09:06.100 It's a day for the president. 00:09:06.380 --> 00:09:07.160 It's not a day for that. 00:09:07.260 --> 00:09:08.340 It's not a day for that, right, Charlie? 00:09:08.520 --> 00:09:09.260 It wasn't a day for that. 00:09:09.420 --> 00:09:10.080 It wasn't a day for that. 00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:13.220 Here were these lunatics. 00:09:14.260 --> 00:09:15.800 Brad Schneider, I don't know who these other people, 00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:18.540 Eric Swalwell, that was when Donald Trump said, 00:09:18.660 --> 00:09:20.900 and God saved my life, and all the Democrats were sitting. 00:09:21.340 --> 00:09:23.140 It turned into a mini-state of the union vibe, 00:09:23.620 --> 00:09:25.640 where like half the room would stand and applaud, 00:09:25.800 --> 00:09:26.940 and half the room would kind of sit. 00:09:27.390 --> 00:09:33.290 But it was because of the rotunda, the noise echoes and actually had a really good energy to it. 00:09:33.550 --> 00:09:38.770 On TV, it played a massive applause line where he said, 00:09:38.950 --> 00:09:42.810 I've become convinced that God saved my life to make America great again. 00:09:43.490 --> 00:09:46.610 It was a huge moment, like chills moment. 00:09:47.110 --> 00:09:51.570 And so when you sent that picture, I mean, I was getting live feed, but I saw the picture in our chat, 00:09:55.280 --> 00:10:01.440 We're getting this up. I was like, okay, you know like and it was a it was a I think that I think it did like I'm almost 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:06.540 Two million it's like it people saw that picture by the way after it about five minutes after so I would stand up for 00:10:06.540 --> 00:10:13.800 Almost every applause line. I think some staffer texted him like Charlie Kirk is roasting you stand up and it was it was 00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:17.660 It was it was hilarious to kind of see as it was happening 00:10:18.140 --> 00:10:24.220 I loved watching and looking at Obama and Hillary. That's a separate. No, but but that dynamic of the speech 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:29.740 I mean, Jack, I think you would agree was what made this not only a historic moment 00:10:29.740 --> 00:10:33.660 because we can all feel that the country is on the verge and in the midst of something 00:10:33.660 --> 00:10:41.840 truly transformational in a positive sense, but the context, doing all of that, the salt 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.080 and the wound as Joe Biden and Barack Obama- 00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:49.100 And mind you, we knew that Joe Biden just pardoned his family, but Trump did not. 00:10:49.100 --> 00:10:49.380 But Trump did not. 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:50.520 That's what's so remarkable. 00:10:53.500 --> 00:10:56.820 of seeing the essentially the 00:10:57.860 --> 00:11:02.760 hegemonic force and power structure of the previous regimes right there having 00:11:02.760 --> 00:11:07.900 to swallow these very harsh words. It was a regime change. It was a regime change. 00:11:08.380 --> 00:11:13.200 And it was it was it was incredibly powerful and a different politician 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:18.320 would have used that moment and softened his language, pulled his punches, Trump 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.260 pulled no punches. Trump, I mean maybe a little bit, he likes to say that Melania 00:11:22.260 --> 00:11:23.680 took out a couple of the like 00:11:23.820 --> 00:11:27.700 you know, paragraphs that were a little bit stronger. It was strong as it was. 00:11:28.340 --> 00:11:33.540 And to see Joe Biden have to sit there and listen to it, Barack Obama, Hillary, and Bill Clinton 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:38.960 And the whole, George Bush, it was a really incredible, 00:11:39.180 --> 00:11:42.680 I think one of the truly historic pictures, 00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:45.100 just from an optics standpoint, 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:46.940 that we will ever live to witness. 00:11:47.160 --> 00:11:49.480 And to see it in such a tight frame, too. 00:11:49.760 --> 00:11:52.260 Again, on TV, you do not understand 00:11:52.260 --> 00:11:53.720 how tight of a space that is. 00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:55.880 I mean, these guys are breathing down each other's necks 00:11:55.880 --> 00:11:56.940 inside that space. 00:11:57.260 --> 00:11:59.200 Charlie, had you ever been that close 00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:00.300 to Obama and Hillary before? 00:12:00.620 --> 00:12:04.200 No, I actually had never seen what was that like Obama in person.

Jim Banks is a perfect 00:15:31.760 --> 00:15:34.640 embodiment of this new guard Bernie Moreno 00:15:36.420 --> 00:15:43.320 Yeah, these guys in him again. No, these guys these guys are our get it done guys these guys are totally on the team 00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:48.520 They're not as vestige of the past of a bygone Republican Party that you know, nobody's just 00:15:49.040 --> 00:15:51.920 you know, taking the time to raise $50 million to primary, right? 00:15:52.180 --> 00:15:54.720 So, but these guys are, these guys are with it. 00:15:54.880 --> 00:15:58.580 And Jim, Jim's totally on the team and, and I love that he did that for you. 00:15:58.640 --> 00:16:02.560 But let's, let's show a picture of your seating location, Charlie. 00:16:03.260 --> 00:16:04.100 164, let's go. 00:16:04.180 --> 00:16:05.480 We dropped an arrow. 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:11.560 Now, if you think they were mad, just to be clear, if the original Deus would have stood. 00:16:12.820 --> 00:16:18.820 My the tickets would have been even better meaning that because of all the capital mixed up in the house and you had it 00:16:18.820 --> 00:16:20.240 Been outside had it been outside 00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:25.500 I would have been two or three rows back from the people that were on the dais with Trump inside 00:16:26.180 --> 00:16:31.380 I don't know if I understand what you so like for example where Elon was and where the cabinet was 00:16:31.380 --> 00:16:34.940 I would have been three rows behind I would have been like in that group. Oh, wow if it would have been outside 00:16:35.500 --> 00:16:37.440 And so that's amazing. Yeah, heads would have really 00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:42.240 But because it went inside it was like hey, I really want Erica there 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:45.320 It was kind of some like sure and I just like I want to be in the room 00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:46.720 I don't care if I have a terrible ticket and 00:16:47.560 --> 00:16:52.420 Well apparently wasn't terrible enough. No, no, I'm not saying it was terrible. No, no, I just mean I'm saying that was 00:16:52.420 --> 00:16:58.480 I saw everything and I was super honored and it was just treated so well and 00:16:58.900 --> 00:17:04.160 Again, it was just kind of blown away because last inauguration. I was like looking up in the cheap seat 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:10.400 So I see a little dot. Yeah, exactly. Well, I mean, it's it's a whole new day in Washington. I will tell you 00:17:10.910 --> 00:17:13.390 A little vibe check on the ground, Jack, you could be good on this. 00:17:13.830 --> 00:17:17.912 I just feel like this city, even in Trump 1.0 in the first term... 00:17:18.860 --> 00:17:23.580 It's I don't feel at all conspicuous being loud and proud of my what I'm thinking 00:17:23.580 --> 00:17:30.220 I don't hold back opinions at the like restaurant or like a coffee. I'm just I'm out and proud 00:17:30.220 --> 00:17:34.360 And I don't even I you know before well, it's like the resistance is quiet 00:17:34.360 --> 00:17:41.720 There's yeah, it's just like everybody nonexistent. It's not like see but I worry that that's I worry if that's a 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:46.780 If that's a false sense of security because it's totally possible. This town is still this town. All right 00:17:47.150 --> 00:17:51.570 you know the the the cockroaches are dug but the vermin are on the run they're 00:17:51.570 --> 00:17:52.810 very yeah 00:17:53.310 --> 00:17:57.450 we're getting a lot of them fired a lot of them are are on notice a lot of them 00:17:57.450 --> 00:17:59.230 know that they are probably 00:18:00.260 --> 00:18:01.120 You know gotta 00:18:02.180 --> 00:18:07.280 Listen, the present has been around a lot longer than any of the three of us. I totally agree. I totally agree 00:18:07.280 --> 00:18:14.020 But they they legitimately do feel threatened for their future and they're not gonna pop their head up just they are and that's why 00:18:14.020 --> 00:18:17.460 So they're all because they don't know where to fight. Yeah, they're all turtling right now 00:18:17.460 --> 00:18:22.640 They're sort of waiting. They're sort of in you know, kind of in like receive mode. Okay 00:18:23.040 --> 00:18:25.680 What do I do? How do I hunker down? How do I, you know, 00:18:25.780 --> 00:18:28.340 let's leak some stuff on Hegseth. Let's leak some stuff on Tulsi. 00:18:28.620 --> 00:18:31.120 Let's, you know, see if we can get that going there, get, you know, 00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:34.680 Murkowski Collins came out, you know, McConnell going to vote. Who knows? 00:18:34.900 --> 00:18:38.200 Whatever. Um, is GEDE going to have to come back to town to be the tiebreaker? 00:18:38.420 --> 00:18:43.400 Whatever. Point being is, is it's a muted response, far muted. 00:18:43.620 --> 00:18:46.300 Obviously you're not seeing the Antifa riots like we saw in 2017. 00:18:46.840 --> 00:18:51.620 The limos burning, the attack on the deplorable, et cetera, et cetera. That said, 00:18:52.460 --> 00:18:56.140 I'm just saying, guys, we haven't quite hit, you know, 00:18:56.260 --> 00:18:57.460 stay frosty, stay frosty is what I always say. 00:18:57.460 --> 00:18:59.620 And I think that's a good word, but I will tell you, 00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:02.120 just the fact that we're even this far 00:19:02.120 --> 00:19:05.420 is just such a dramatic, dramatic shift. 00:19:05.620 --> 00:19:07.960 And you look at President Trump's approval ratings. 00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:09.900 I mean, he's above water right now. 00:19:10.320 --> 00:19:13.340 Which is why they're scared of really coming out. 00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:16.420 And really also why, and, you know, 00:19:16.580 --> 00:19:18.120 I know we're kind of changing the conversation a little bit, 00:19:19.110 --> 00:19:21.890 It's it's why and Charlie. I'd love to get your thoughts on this 00:19:23.150 --> 00:19:23.590 the 00:19:24.410 --> 00:19:28.010 Flood the zone. Oh, that's brilliant strategy has been brilliant 00:19:28.730 --> 00:19:33.150 Don't think they should let up. Yeah, I know I think that it's been so successful 00:19:33.150 --> 00:19:38.390 That the the longer you wait to do things the more time 00:19:38.390 --> 00:19:43.790 It's going to give this town the media the left whatever you want to call it the deep state 00:19:44.570 --> 00:19:46.330 Staters time to respond 00:19:46.330 --> 00:19:50.550 But if you're firing on all pistons if you are doing the full court press 00:19:50.550 --> 00:19:56.550 They don't have time to respond because there's too many things coming down the pipe at once the many you slow up 00:19:57.200 --> 00:20:00.480 That's what gives them time to get their ducks in a row and get a response off 00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:06.600 No, look, I think you have to continue to flood the zone and by the way, there's this is happening in multiple volleys 00:20:06.600 --> 00:20:09.940 There's a reason why it's day one day two day three. You can't keep up with it 00:20:09.940 --> 00:20:14.800 I mean today was JFK files yesterday was affirmative action day before that was January 6 00:20:14.800 --> 00:20:20.860 I mean those are three and the mental things yeah, and the prolifer so where do they even focus their media attention and understand 00:20:20.860 --> 00:20:26.120 The media is largely the life force and the signal for where a lot of these people end up fighting now. They're going to try 00:20:26.650 --> 00:20:29.230 the stops and the stuff in the courts, but pardon power is absolute. 00:20:29.670 --> 00:20:30.570 They can't challenge that. 00:20:30.890 --> 00:20:31.510 So that's happening. 00:20:31.850 --> 00:20:32.870 January 6th is absolute. 00:20:33.170 --> 00:20:35.530 The affirmative action EO is just rescinding another EO. 00:20:35.910 --> 00:20:39.490 So the DEI stuff is completely within the power and the authority 00:20:39.490 --> 00:20:40.270 of the current president. 00:20:40.550 --> 00:20:44.730 But also understand that so much of this, the next wave is Pete Hexeth. 00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.340 The next wave after that is going to be Pam Bondi. 00:20:48.700 --> 00:20:51.460 For example, wait until Cash Patel and Pam Bondi can go, 00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:55.080 we want to review all cases over the last eight years.

Well done. That is right ten points the Jack Pasobic the White House staff secretary off the dome 00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:11.040 Baby the White House staff secretary on the surface 00:28:11.040 --> 00:28:15.600 Seems as if it's like a perfunctory job. It says controls the paper flow to the president 00:28:15.600 --> 00:28:19.820 That is the central nervous system of the entire federal control all the paper 00:28:19.820 --> 00:28:27.060 Well, so you think okay. What is it like newspapers? No anything anything the president needs to review or sign 00:28:27.340 --> 00:28:32.860 from a national security briefing to an executive order to a memo from a foreign leader comes 00:28:32.860 --> 00:28:36.980 through the White House staff secretary office. And if there is a comma wrong, if there is an 00:28:36.980 --> 00:28:41.620 apostrophe wrong, if there is a number where it's like, well, is it executive order 1138? 00:28:42.040 --> 00:28:48.500 Or is it executive order 1139? It could be the difference between, you know, pardoning somebody 00:28:48.500 --> 00:28:52.920 for something that you meant or didn't mean. So the White House staff secretary, 00:28:55.320 --> 00:28:58.300 One of my personal favorites first. I just want to read some of the executive orders 00:28:58.300 --> 00:29:03.280 We're gonna do this on the show because I think we have to go through some of these because they haven't gotten the attention that they deserve 00:29:03.280 --> 00:29:03.600 Yes 00:29:04.850 --> 00:29:08.250 This one restoring names that honor American greatness 00:29:08.810 --> 00:29:13.610 So obviously, you know, there's the you know, Gulf of America all that which I love but you go deeper 00:29:13.610 --> 00:29:21.730 It's that he's just taking over the entire naming commission to review every single name of like national parks and 00:29:22.230 --> 00:29:24.970 Rivers to make sure that they reflect American greatness. I think it's amazing 00:29:25.550 --> 00:29:31.690 We should I gotta bring back we you should lobby and bring back the old base names. We got we got to get those back 00:29:32.750 --> 00:29:36.570 I have a high degree of certainty he's going to allow Pete Hegceth to get a victory lap 00:29:36.570 --> 00:29:37.010 on that one. 00:29:37.070 --> 00:29:37.930 Base names are coming back. 00:29:38.030 --> 00:29:39.790 Yeah, you know, that's, that one is good. 00:29:39.850 --> 00:29:43.470 Yeah, but while we're at it, while we're at it, we should change Beijing back to P 00:29:43.470 --> 00:29:43.710 King. 00:29:44.730 --> 00:29:46.350 China would never recover from that one. 00:29:47.950 --> 00:29:53.290 Yeah, you know, you're talking about the, the, the Imperial capital feeling muted, Jack. 00:29:53.650 --> 00:29:53.910 Look at it. 00:29:54.150 --> 00:29:58.150 On day one, there was an order to review all potential, oh wait, hold on, never mind. 00:30:01.610 --> 00:30:05.230 basically reclassifying members of the federal civil servants so they are 00:30:05.230 --> 00:30:08.610 easier to fire and replace especially if they hinder or sabotage the 00:30:08.610 --> 00:30:13.570 administration's agenda so like they see all these executive orders coming 00:30:13.570 --> 00:30:18.730 through they've heard the rumors about schedule left I mean right so so they're 00:30:18.730 --> 00:30:22.870 if they're ducking for cover what do you think all the diversities ours are 00:30:22.870 --> 00:30:26.150 doing right now do you think they're thinking of us they think they're 00:30:28.030 --> 00:30:31.950 their resume so pretty res out there we didn't even mention it yet we didn't 00:30:31.950 --> 00:30:36.150 even mention it yet the order for all of the uh... federal workers to go back to 00:30:36.150 --> 00:30:36.510 work 00:30:37.130 --> 00:30:39.090 that was great when he issued it 00:30:39.090 --> 00:30:43.710 it's not amazing because i'm finding the federal workers who are whining on the 00:30:43.710 --> 00:30:44.190 internet 00:30:44.770 --> 00:30:49.350 uh... you can go on that you know giant volcano of soy that is reddit and of 00:30:49.350 --> 00:30:51.430 course they have a federal workers subreddit 00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:56.340 and they were come on this earlier yeah they were saying we we they're it's all 00:30:56.340 --> 00:30:58.640 the talk about they're all freaking out and like the top 00:30:58.640 --> 00:31:00.560 thread when i looked at it 00:31:00.560 --> 00:31:03.500 uh... i think we posted this on twitter they were freaking out where they're 00:31:03.500 --> 00:31:03.800 saying 00:31:03.800 --> 00:31:05.300 we have to fight back 00:31:05.300 --> 00:31:10.200 we have to boycott every small business near our office don't go to the 00:31:10.200 --> 00:31:10.620 restaurants 00:31:11.050 --> 00:31:14.390 don't go to the gas stations don't don't shop at the grocery stores 00:31:14.390 --> 00:31:18.590 it's such a perfect symbol that they're so angry about having to go to the 00:31:18.590 --> 00:31:20.690 office that they want to take it out 00:31:20.690 --> 00:31:25.330 small businesses staffed by employees who actually have to go to work 00:31:25.330 --> 00:31:28.330 for their jobs who actually do real work every day 00:31:28.330 --> 00:31:31.950 and they want to lash out at them to show how angry they are that they have to go 00:31:31.950 --> 00:31:34.110 into the office like a normal person because 00:31:37.580 --> 00:31:44.340 resentful and pathetic people, and then they're also whining.

The whole government is full of scams like this. Absolutely full. 00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:19.260 The the amount of executive action. Let's just talk about this Blake even for some of the skeptics 00:33:19.260 --> 00:33:22.020 I'm sure Blake that you know and Blake is you know 00:33:22.820 --> 00:33:25.040 What is it good Trump bad Trump fair? What are Blake? 00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:29.800 Contrarian Blake is black bill Blake turning like no 00:33:29.800 --> 00:33:32.200 He's got to be honest. He was dormant through the election 00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:38.360 But now like there's some good stuff here. You got to be honest. No, I just I was just raving about her for like five minutes straight 00:33:38.360 --> 00:33:42.100 Charlie, you know no, I know I just want to talk broadly though. Yes, of course 00:33:42.670 --> 00:33:49.350 Yeah, I'm very excited. I would urge everyone to remember as we were saying before we even got into the list an executive order 00:33:49.350 --> 00:33:51.630 Doesn't make reality by itself 00:33:51.630 --> 00:33:55.710 One of the things we did day one was the EO on birthright citizenship 00:33:55.710 --> 00:34:03.050 They're saying you don't get birthright citizenship if you're in illegal if you're a tourist or even they're going pretty aggressive 00:34:03.050 --> 00:34:09.670 They're saying even if you're certain types of temporary legal resident like guest workers, you don't benefit from it 00:34:10.120 --> 00:34:12.900 and that's already been put on hold a federal judge 00:34:12.900 --> 00:34:14.340 shot that down right away 00:34:14.340 --> 00:34:18.060 and we might lose that we might go all the way to the supreme court on that 00:34:18.608 --> 00:34:19.960 and lose all b frank 00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:23.380 we don't change reality with just an executive order 00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:27.780 But the level of aggression is great. It keeps everyone off balance. 00:34:28.060 --> 00:34:31.620 We're going to get wins on at least some, many of these things. 00:34:31.940 --> 00:34:37.880 And because they're coming out so quickly, you maximize their value over the course of an administration. 00:34:38.340 --> 00:34:44.300 Like the order on the DEI stuff, it's going to be really hard to disassemble that apparatus. 00:34:44.700 --> 00:34:52.780 But you're gonna get rid of way more of it when you're doing it for 1400 days than if this came out in year two, in year three. 00:34:53.190 --> 00:34:56.750 at that point to get anything out of it you got to win the next election even if 00:34:56.750 --> 00:35:00.810 we haven't for friend lose the next election will be able to have a ton of 00:35:00.810 --> 00:35:04.590 impact because we got going on all the important stuff right away 00:35:06.670 --> 00:35:10.870 and it's also just some of the little stuff i mean that might not make you 00:35:10.870 --> 00:35:13.710 know make a big difference you know i was walking through the white house in 00:35:13.710 --> 00:35:15.390 the eisenhower executive office building 00:35:16.210 --> 00:35:21.530 just taking down, I saw people taking down all the signs that say like gender 00:35:21.530 --> 00:35:28.590 neutral restrooms or taking down the mask signs. Now there was one that I do 00:35:28.590 --> 00:35:32.850 have to make sure that the new Secret Service Director addresses. There was a 00:35:32.850 --> 00:35:37.990 Secret Service guy that was processing me today at the White House and he had 00:35:37.990 --> 00:35:44.610 not just a gay pride flag, he had like the trans inverted flag on his vest, Jack. 00:35:45.290 --> 00:35:49.730 On his secret service vest. Yeah, and that's political at the White House and by the way 00:35:49.730 --> 00:35:53.170 That's political. So do you want to hear something? This might sound a little bit prideful? 00:35:53.190 --> 00:35:55.370 But I think you guys will cut me slack for not prideful, but 00:35:56.010 --> 00:36:03.630 Typically when I am around police officers muscular class National Guard, I get recognized and there's like some like at least some favor 00:36:03.630 --> 00:36:05.870 I'd say one at least half right. I 00:36:05.870 --> 00:36:09.030 Know what politics right? No, you can see where I'm going here though 00:36:09.030 --> 00:36:14.730 So I go into the White House Secret Service and I get like stone cold response. Yep 00:36:15.190 --> 00:36:20.770 Not like not one like five ten fifteen twenty when I do a secret service event like they're always coming up to me 00:36:20.770 --> 00:36:28.250 No, they're always like what I'm going at when I'm going is that Biden and Kamala they staffed the White House with like loyal 00:36:28.850 --> 00:36:29.650 loyalist like 00:36:30.590 --> 00:36:33.210 Regime now there's some people came up the cafeteria. Okay. Yeah, you're great 00:36:33.210 --> 00:36:39.330 Well, you know as I was visiting but it was really it was very illuminated. So there's a big you're getting the hairy eye 00:36:40.190 --> 00:36:44.570 Yeah, no, like I was like geez, okay. Yeah, because I was expecting like oh, you know welcome back 00:36:44.570 --> 00:36:48.810 No, the guys he's checking me and he's got the trans flag like trans flag 00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:53.660 It's not just a gay flag. It's the it's the gay one with the yeah angle 00:36:53.660 --> 00:36:57.060 Oh, we tell the vibe was off though. Oh, no, I totally thought about it off 00:36:57.060 --> 00:37:02.380 It was like not even eye contact. Yeah, but then again some of the Secret Service guys that might have slipped through the cracks 00:37:02.380 --> 00:37:04.540 We're like we love you fist bump, you know 00:37:04.540 --> 00:37:09.540 Interestingly the Hispanic and the black guys were the ones that were the most. Oh, can we just dispel this? 00:37:09.680 --> 00:37:11.560 Can we just spell this and it was the 00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:15.560 Charlie, I've been with you at more events than probably most and I was not about Charlie 00:37:15.560 --> 00:37:21.820 but hold on, hold on. I would just say that you get fist bumps from black and brown like 00:37:21.820 --> 00:37:22.340 dudes. 00:37:23.190 --> 00:37:27.870 More than just about anything which is a hilarious thing, but yeah, I mean go ahead 00:37:27.870 --> 00:37:34.570 I don't want to take this is an important point you're making because we do have to sort of restock the shelves restaff the these key 00:37:35.350 --> 00:37:39.330 Loyalist positions with people that love Trump. I mean, it's just it's it's absolutely the 00:37:39.830 --> 00:37:44.570 Mandatory thing at this point. So yeah, and so look and Trump's gonna clean all this up and his team's cleaning it all up 00:37:44.570 --> 00:37:50.370 It's just illuminating to see what the prior regime has done up until this moment, right? 00:37:51.060 --> 00:37:55.560 Um, but it's sort of like, uh, what, what, when they, uh, what was Obama? 00:37:55.940 --> 00:37:59.600 It's like when the Soviet Union fell, took the W's out of the, uh, was that Clinton 00:37:59.600 --> 00:38:04.960 took the W's out of the, the key was Obama, was it Obama or no, it's Clinton. 00:38:05.080 --> 00:38:07.880 Cause it W was coming after him and they took all the keys out of the keyboards. 00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:09.960 It's like little things like that. 00:38:10.020 --> 00:38:11.820 But this is a little more important when it's, uh, 00:38:12.530 --> 00:38:15.790 People that are tasked with I mean it's important, but you know, it's like a little pan like okay 00:38:15.790 --> 00:38:19.450 It's not like yeah world-changing stuff, but it is emblematic of like hundred percent 00:38:19.450 --> 00:38:22.370 You know a larger issue that needs to be addressed 00:38:22.370 --> 00:38:25.150 So I'm just looking through the executive action and orders here 00:38:25.150 --> 00:38:30.490 You got to give credit for Trump's boldness and I mean I just I laugh because he does this every day, right? 00:38:30.790 --> 00:38:34.210 Well, it's gonna be an SNL routine at some point in a good way. Sure. It's the S 00:38:34.210 --> 00:38:38.170 You know will sharp comes up sir. We have an executive order 00:38:38.600 --> 00:38:44.760 two colonized Mars colonized Mars. Oh, that's a big one. Yeah. That's a big one. People 00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:46.460 have been waiting years, decades for this. 00:38:48.640 --> 00:38:54.660 It totally is a skit right sir. We have an executive order to claim Greenland as part of America 00:38:54.660 --> 00:38:56.000 Ooh, that's a big one 00:38:56.000 --> 00:39:03.580 But it's it to the to Blake's earlier point how many of these things are so dramatic so sweeping that they would have they would have 00:39:03.580 --> 00:39:06.620 Dominated previous news cycles. I want to go back to this 00:39:07.560 --> 00:39:08.520 birthright citizenship 00:39:09.870 --> 00:39:15.890 There is zero arguments that I have ever heard that make me convinced that the 14th Amendment 00:39:15.890 --> 00:39:20.250 was for anybody but slaves and maybe arguably American Indians. 00:39:20.430 --> 00:39:21.690 So build it out because mutated letters is not. 00:39:21.950 --> 00:39:22.130 No. 00:39:22.330 --> 00:39:22.950 Well, what? 00:39:24.210 --> 00:39:26.870 I could talk more, but it's specifically not about Native Americans. 00:39:27.130 --> 00:39:28.910 Well, I know that's what I'm getting at. 00:39:29.070 --> 00:39:30.930 They actually had, okay, so this is part of my point. 00:39:31.310 --> 00:39:31.470 Okay. 00:39:31.550 --> 00:39:34.030 So there's a guy named Senator Jacob Howard. 00:39:34.470 --> 00:39:37.410 He was a senator at the time when they were passing the 14th Amendment. 00:39:38.040 --> 00:39:39.680 And they're arguing on the Senate floor. 00:39:40.920 --> 00:39:44.460 And so it's contended that it should be construed to mean. 00:39:44.620 --> 00:39:46.920 So this is back to that clause that everybody likes. 00:39:47.120 --> 00:39:50.300 Talk about subject to the jurisdiction they are up. 00:39:50.860 --> 00:39:57.040 Now, Senator Jacob Howard said it should be construed 00:39:57.040 --> 00:39:59.220 to mean a full and complete jurisdiction, 00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:02.480 like the same jurisdiction in extent and quality 00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:05.300 as applies to every citizen of the United States now. 00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:08.620 and so why this isn't important is because 00:40:08.620 --> 00:40:15.680 a construct meant that american indians would not be get granted citizenship 00:40:15.680 --> 00:40:17.940 because they were loyal to a 00:40:17.940 --> 00:40:20.380 another sovereign namely there 00:40:20.380 --> 00:40:24.380 the tribal powers right they were part of the there's a tribal nations tribal 00:40:24.380 --> 00:40:24.800 nations 00:40:25.540 --> 00:40:30.340 so they actually had to in at senator james do little of wisconsin 00:40:31.640 --> 00:40:32.320 uh... 00:40:32.590 --> 00:40:37.930 added a provision, an amendment, that had to add languages Indians not taxed. 00:40:38.250 --> 00:40:44.550 So this is how obvious it would have been to the writers of the 14th amendment that of course 00:40:44.550 --> 00:40:49.130 This was not meant to be gamed by foreigners that just you know come over 00:40:49.130 --> 00:40:55.210 Nine months pregnant and have a baby on this side of the border and they get rewarded for that act of heroism 00:40:55.210 --> 00:41:00.910 No, they literally had to carve out Native Americans because they were born in the continental United States 00:41:00.910 --> 00:41:05.770 To make sure that they were also included in this provision in the in the amendment. So 00:41:06.090 --> 00:41:09.990 this whole thing child i remember you posted it the day it happened is news 00:41:10.530 --> 00:41:12.970 this ending of birthright citizenship for illegals 00:41:12.970 --> 00:41:13.850 and 00:41:13.850 --> 00:41:16.910 you know sure enough ever is like what's in the constitution you can't just like 00:41:16.910 --> 00:41:18.350 change with an executive order was like 00:41:18.350 --> 00:41:23.050 this has been such a bastard and like you would probably know more than i would 00:41:23.050 --> 00:41:26.530 on the how many different ways the fourteenth amendment has led to 00:41:27.710 --> 00:41:30.790 terrible readings of the constitution it's one of the 00:41:33.850 --> 00:41:37.050 constitutional law that just seems to always come back around and get 00:41:37.050 --> 00:41:38.450 interpreted in the most awful way 00:41:38.450 --> 00:41:43.050 but uh... but absolutely the fourteenth amendment was not meant to reward 00:41:43.570 --> 00:41:44.790 people who break into your country 00:41:44.790 --> 00:41:47.490 yeah it's it's ridiculous like what it is is 00:41:47.490 --> 00:41:50.150 the supreme court decision that does is very old 00:41:50.150 --> 00:41:53.950 it was a united states versus won kim arc was the name of it 00:41:55.800 --> 00:41:59.120 a man of chinese descent his parents were chinese immigrants 00:41:59.120 --> 00:42:02.320 who came to the united states and the ruling in that case was 00:42:02.320 --> 00:42:06.080 okay his parents were permanent residents of the united states 00:42:06.080 --> 00:42:10.040 they had him and he so even though they they themselves had been citizens and 00:42:10.040 --> 00:42:12.700 subjects of china since they were legally living in america 00:42:12.700 --> 00:42:16.180 he was a u.s citizen at best you can just say that 00:42:16.180 --> 00:42:20.600 that codifies the interpretation that legal residents of the united states 00:42:20.600 --> 00:42:23.360 their kids have birthright citizenship but 00:42:24.510 --> 00:42:31.990 Just taken basically the bureaucracy in Washington just made the grab and said yeah, actually illegal immigrants also count for this 00:42:31.990 --> 00:42:36.130 And also people who come here on tourist visas who are like here on very temporary 00:42:36.710 --> 00:42:40.070 Residency or not or just travelers. They also count 00:42:40.070 --> 00:42:42.570 We're just gonna make that grab and then you have all these 00:42:42.570 --> 00:42:51.150 Constitutional experts going around and saying this is super decided. It's super clear-cut. They're liars. It's disgusting and we're gonna go to the Supreme Court 00:42:53.190 --> 00:42:57.170 Yeah, 100%. We'll see how Amy Coney, Coney Barrett rules on it. We'll see what happens 00:42:57.170 --> 00:43:00.310 with that. But I think they're going to, I think they're going to be victorious because 00:43:00.770 --> 00:43:03.890 to me, there's a very logical reading of the 14th Amendment. You want to know the dirty 00:43:03.890 --> 00:43:10.570 truth about the 14th Amendment? Birthright citizenship was a scheme. 00:43:11.470 --> 00:43:17.050 That was enacted in order to displace native peoples by 00:43:17.632 --> 00:43:20.030 Colonialist powers so they would come and move in you know 00:43:20.030 --> 00:43:25.750 So the Spanish would come in and they would they would create birthright citizenship in order to displace native peoples well 00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:31.440 Americans we're all the native peoples of this land now and it's you know 00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:35.920 It's being brought back around and being used against Americans. So it's a whole the whole topic 00:43:35.920 --> 00:43:42.320 I'm very passionate about as you might tell but it's what's crazy again to make the point. This would be front page 00:43:43.110 --> 00:43:47.510 everywhere, if it wasn't for the deluge of so much other stuff. 00:43:47.610 --> 00:43:52.270 Well, and Andrew, as well, too, as I wrote Kana coming up on this, and I want to be 00:43:52.270 --> 00:43:57.230 legal at the point too much, but it's, he was talking about, oh, this is going to affect 00:43:57.230 --> 00:44:01.570 the visa holders who are currently here because that would mean their kids don't get to become, 00:44:02.570 --> 00:44:06.930 it would affect legal immigrant visa holders, and I'm like, wait a minute. 00:44:07.280 --> 00:44:09.860 A visa holder is not an immigrant by definition. 00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:11.580 A visa is temporary. 00:44:12.060 --> 00:44:13.760 All visas are temporary. 00:44:14.360 --> 00:44:16.060 So that means you're a visitor. 00:44:16.520 --> 00:44:18.880 When I wanna go visit certain countries, you need a visa. 00:44:19.060 --> 00:44:19.940 That's how that works. 00:44:20.600 --> 00:44:22.480 So you get a visa, you go, you conduct business, 00:44:22.660 --> 00:44:24.560 whatever it is, you're a visitor there. 00:44:24.860 --> 00:44:25.840 If I, like for example, 00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:28.840 I lived in China for two years. I was there on a visa, right? 00:44:29.040 --> 00:44:32.920 If I wasn't married to Tanya at the time, but if I was and we had kids 00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:39.120 They wouldn't automatically become Chinese citizens. Of course, and of course not because we were on a visa 00:44:39.120 --> 00:44:42.800 And by the way, even if we were there under other circumstances, it's a really hard 00:44:43.210 --> 00:44:50.350 process so the idea that someone who's here on a temporary basis either as a worker or a student or what or just a 00:44:50.350 --> 00:44:55.630 Tourism like this birth tourism crap that goes on. It's ridiculous. It's always been ridiculous 00:44:55.630 --> 00:45:01.570 There's never been a country that's been more silly about its immigration status than the United States and look 00:45:01.570 --> 00:45:07.470 I get a lot of this goes back to the idea of birthright citizenship in it goes back to the new world because 00:45:07.470 --> 00:45:11.070 Early on and a Blake. I'm sure you can attest to this that it was that 00:45:11.360 --> 00:45:16.020 North and South America were colonies, and so they needed to attract, you know, 00:45:16.160 --> 00:45:22.780 attract colonists. So the idea was they wanted more people to come over. So as a way of attraction, 00:45:22.780 --> 00:45:27.240 as a potential boon or benefit to you is to say, hey, by the way, when you come here, 00:45:27.500 --> 00:45:30.560 your kids will automatically be citizens. They won't have to go through that process. 00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:31.800 That makes sense. 00:45:32.400 --> 00:45:35.480 if we're still a brand new country not full of people. 00:45:35.980 --> 00:45:38.760 So it's perfectly obvious to anyone 00:45:38.760 --> 00:45:41.460 that if you wanna update that framework 00:45:41.460 --> 00:45:44.140 for a new situation, of course you can do so. 00:45:44.340 --> 00:45:47.360 And oh, by the way, the US Congress and the US government 00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:49.800 certainly is well within their rights to do so. 00:45:50.040 --> 00:45:51.380 So check this out. 00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:54.460 France, New Zealand, and Australia have 00:45:54.680 --> 00:45:58.560 all abandoned birthright citizenship in the past few decades ireland was the last 00:45:58.560 --> 00:46:02.980 was another colony yes ireland was the last country in the european union 00:46:03.440 --> 00:46:07.860 to follow it but they even abolished birthright citizenship in 2005 00:46:08.470 --> 00:46:13.270 It's a completely dumb idea like complete in our current context to your point 00:46:13.270 --> 00:46:19.970 Maybe it had some some value as they were looking to colonize the Western Hemisphere at this point 00:46:19.970 --> 00:46:27.090 It is completely and utterly idiotic and you're you're just incentivizing all the wrong things so but but again 00:46:27.090 --> 00:46:30.110 I I haven't seen too many stories about it to be honest 00:46:30.110 --> 00:46:33.810 I mean I I'm looking at it now and people are certainly writing about it 00:46:33.810 --> 00:46:36.610 But if you look at nightly news if you look at all the thought pieces 00:46:36.940 --> 00:46:38.340 it's not really the center of attention 00:46:38.790 --> 00:46:40.240 which is truly remarkable 00:46:40.860 --> 00:46:44.480 uh... i guess blake do you think uh... 00:46:44.480 --> 00:46:48.780 you uh... you mentioned lbj uh... that the reversal of lbj's 00:46:48.780 --> 00:46:50.560 affirmative action executive order 00:46:50.560 --> 00:46:53.860 what would be your next uh... what's what's next on your list 00:46:54.640 --> 00:47:02.620 Oh man after the after the LBJ one that that one's just so big that one can be so will be so 00:47:02.620 --> 00:47:08.240 monumental if they were really if they really follow up on it because it's not just the one it's 00:47:08.240 --> 00:47:13.920 repealing in executive order so they basically can't it's going to be very hard for the left to try 00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:18.900 to reverse this but and then they follow it up with by the way actually we're going to start 00:47:18.900 --> 00:47:21.300 going after you if you have all these programs that 00:47:21.500 --> 00:47:26.160 treat people differently based on race. Actually, that's illegal, and it's always been illegal. 00:47:26.560 --> 00:47:32.260 And it's been such a big revolution on the right to, you know, come out and publicly say this is 00:47:32.260 --> 00:47:38.140 the case. We all owe a big debt to Chris Caldwell, his book about six years ago, The Age of Entitlement, 00:47:38.260 --> 00:47:42.700 was, as far as I can remember, the first book to really just come out loudly and say that, 00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:48.640 and it's swept the right since then. After that one, my personal favorite 00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:54.660 Honestly, just like genuinely the level of aggression on 00:47:55.610 --> 00:48:02.410 Immigration both in the interior and at the border where they say okay. It's an emergency. We're getting rid of the CBP one act 00:48:02.410 --> 00:48:09.250 We're gonna say you can send them back without a hearing if you get caught coming into the US and I'm hearing chatter 00:48:09.832 --> 00:48:16.130 Charlie probably knows more than I do, but I'm hearing chatter like there's more coming. They're real. They're very serious about 00:48:16.130 --> 00:48:17.310 building the 00:48:17.930 --> 00:48:22.190 Infrastructure to fix the immigration crisis because you have all these like 00:48:22.410 --> 00:48:24.610 hacks and lunatics in the press will say 00:48:25.230 --> 00:48:27.090 deporting people is impossible so 00:48:27.090 --> 00:48:29.090 you see little things like the military says 00:48:29.090 --> 00:48:33.010 all we're willing to have military planes assist in deportation flights 00:48:33.010 --> 00:48:34.830 when you see them 00:48:34.830 --> 00:48:39.450 they they surprise fired the people at the top of like the immigration on 00:48:39.450 --> 00:48:41.310 like our immigration court apparatus 00:48:41.996 --> 00:48:44.030 that shows how serious they are there 00:48:44.030 --> 00:48:45.290 cleaning house 00:48:45.290 --> 00:48:47.730 because if you really dig into the details 00:48:47.730 --> 00:48:48.890 america's 00:48:50.700 --> 00:48:57.720 was a sham. The biden administration had created this giant legal sham whose purpose is to disguise 00:48:58.224 --> 00:49:03.780 waving everyone into the united states who wanted to come here. It was all dressed up. We're like, 00:49:03.840 --> 00:49:10.880 okay, well, they come across the border and oh, but we need to give them an asylum hearing. We don't want to 00:49:11.150 --> 00:49:16.430 take away due process we have to do an asylum hearing well okay but we have a backlog so 00:49:16.430 --> 00:49:21.750 we have to give them a court date in the asylum courts but it's going to be a while from now it 00:49:21.750 --> 00:49:26.190 might be six months it might be a year it might be six years you know that's just how it is we 00:49:26.190 --> 00:49:31.370 got to give them due process and then you let them into the US the court hearing date comes around 00:49:31.830 --> 00:49:37.370 what if they don't show up oh well well we've ordered ICE to only focus on on finding 00:49:37.790 --> 00:49:40.710 dangerous criminals so we're not going to prioritize 00:49:41.232 --> 00:49:45.830 finding those people who blow off their asylum here it's all a joke it was all a 00:49:45.830 --> 00:49:46.210 sham 00:49:46.210 --> 00:49:50.370 trump comes in and he says all right shams over 00:49:50.370 --> 00:49:53.790 you don't get your asylum hearing if we catch you crossing here illegally 00:49:53.790 --> 00:49:56.190 gotta go to the port of entry deal with it 00:49:56.570 --> 00:50:00.030 and we're going to replace the guy at the top of the immigration courts 00:50:00.030 --> 00:50:03.370 we're going to hire new people at the immigration courts we're going to 00:50:03.370 --> 00:50:06.690 clear the backlog and we're going to say that ice can go 00:50:06.690 --> 00:50:09.850 find people arrest people it's 00:50:09.850 --> 00:50:13.130 there's multiple orders going into this but it's the 00:50:13.130 --> 00:50:17.230 sheer aggression of saying all those things you supposedly can't do 00:50:17.870 --> 00:50:19.210 we're doing it 00:50:19.210 --> 00:50:22.510 and i look forward to one of these things we're gonna hear the left is all 00:50:22.510 --> 00:50:23.130 going to say 00:50:23.790 --> 00:50:28.290 Well, we can't let you know these countries aren't going to take their illegal immigrants back 00:50:28.290 --> 00:50:30.650 Well, I think we can get pretty creative on that front 00:50:30.650 --> 00:50:35.630 I'm I have some friends who are I think are going and we're gonna be going in that field and I'm telling them 00:50:35.630 --> 00:50:39.570 Well guys good news most of the world borders a body of water 00:50:39.570 --> 00:50:45.230 So we can go and we can drop them in a little dingy with a rowboat and tell them to go back to their country 00:50:46.190 --> 00:50:52.750 I'm really looking forward to this. I think the administration is serious Steven Miller knows what he wants to do 00:50:53.130 --> 00:50:59.260 It's awesome that that all collectively is my second favorite thing. I just I just I just want to give Steven Miller like a 00:51:00.130 --> 00:51:04.290 Slow clap like every new you know what I mean? It's like this man 00:51:04.950 --> 00:51:08.330 was born for such a just such a time as this and 00:51:08.870 --> 00:51:10.750 You know by the way being 00:51:11.610 --> 00:51:12.110 so 00:51:12.670 --> 00:51:16.650 This is a point that Charlie actually made on Twitter. He and I talked about it 00:51:17.360 --> 00:51:23.120 It was, you know, this idea that everybody has given a lot of attention to Trump being stronger, tougher, 00:51:23.940 --> 00:51:27.560 you know, more focused than he was in the first term, right? 00:51:27.680 --> 00:51:31.780 Trump 1.0 is not Trump 2.0. Just look at the, look at the pictures, right? 00:51:31.780 --> 00:51:33.460 Well, the name is the, it's the punished Trump. 00:51:33.660 --> 00:51:35.500 Well, yeah, but he's, but he's also 00:51:36.030 --> 00:51:41.210 knows the system, he knows DC, he understands how everything works, he knows who he can 00:51:41.210 --> 00:51:44.010 trust, who he doesn't, who he can't trust, he knows who got in his way, what's that? 00:51:44.830 --> 00:51:45.830 You saw it in his interview last night. 00:51:45.830 --> 00:51:46.650 Oh, 100%. 00:51:46.650 --> 00:51:47.530 They put me through hell. 00:51:47.730 --> 00:51:48.270 Yeah, they did. 00:51:48.630 --> 00:51:56.870 And what we're not appreciating enough is the fact that guys like James Blair, Sergio 00:52:02.060 --> 00:52:08.200 Trump also was steeped in the same experiences, lived through it alongside him, saw what they 00:52:08.200 --> 00:52:13.880 did, saw how corrupt and depraved and aggressive they were with President Trump. 00:52:14.680 --> 00:52:20.580 All of these guys, this new generation, this new crop, is ready to get to work, they're 00:52:20.580 --> 00:52:25.880 not afraid to use power, they're going for it, rules, customs, norms, legacy, regime 00:52:26.510 --> 00:52:27.310 uh... be damned 00:52:27.310 --> 00:52:30.950 we're gonna get the job done now the constitution still matters obviously got 00:52:30.950 --> 00:52:33.710 uh... we we all of the constitutions you have to work within the framework 00:52:33.710 --> 00:52:35.170 but some of these things 00:52:35.640 --> 00:52:38.330 are just simply a lack of creativity and a lack of courage 00:52:39.730 --> 00:52:41.930 not going to be getting in the way any longer 00:52:41.930 --> 00:52:45.890 i just got a word from philadelphia i'm going to be digging into this 00:52:45.890 --> 00:52:47.790 bigger but uh... 00:52:48.010 --> 00:52:53.090 possible breaking news word that ice is conducting raids in Kensington, 00:52:53.230 --> 00:52:58.170 Philadelphia. Kensington is that area where you see the fentanyl zombies going 00:52:58.170 --> 00:53:02.730 around back and forth and so your biggest fentanyl dealers in the city of 00:53:02.730 --> 00:53:06.050 course many of whom have cartel ties are going to be 00:53:06.300 --> 00:53:12.620 Servicing that and so that's exactly where they go because they know where all the fentanyl zombies are and yeah 00:53:12.620 --> 00:53:17.600 I just got word from someone it that's down in Philly that and again, it's it's you know 00:53:17.600 --> 00:53:21.980 caveat caveat caveat, but yeah something that I mean I wouldn't be surprised down there 00:53:21.980 --> 00:53:27.560 I wouldn't be surprised a lot of sense. Yeah, I mean, I think they have a definite strategy of going to blue 00:53:28.840 --> 00:53:34.040 cities where the local municipalities have made the decision that they're gonna be sanctuaries. They're not going to 00:53:34.540 --> 00:53:42.000 Aid or help, which can we just take a step back and and ask herself how insane that is if you know the whereabouts of 00:53:42.500 --> 00:53:46.900 A criminal you know the misdeeds that this criminal has done 00:53:46.900 --> 00:53:52.680 And yet you refuse to remove said criminal from your streets simply because he or she is a 00:53:53.304 --> 00:53:54.360 illegal immigrant 00:53:55.160 --> 00:54:00.820 The amount of insanity I think you know Charles said earlier on the show this morning 00:54:00.820 --> 00:54:05.240 But it was like they hate Trump so much that they've fallen in love with MS-13 00:54:05.240 --> 00:54:08.400 They hate Trump so much that they've fallen in love with the criminal 00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:14.520 They hate Trump so much that they have fallen in love with murderers and rapists more so than their love for their common man 00:54:14.520 --> 00:54:21.580 And their fellow citizen that is an extraordinary psychological picture to take in and fully absorb 00:54:22.190 --> 00:54:28.030 And when you get to these ice raids in these cities, and the fact that these cities are 00:54:28.030 --> 00:54:33.750 harboring fugitives of the law, and they are protecting them from accountability when they 00:54:33.750 --> 00:54:37.590 rape little girls, when they kill people, when they stab people, when they get them 00:54:37.590 --> 00:54:40.970 addicted to fentanyl and other drugs that are going to kill them. 00:54:45.110 --> 00:54:48.810 and unfathomable. It's difficult to comprehend what that would mean. 00:54:48.950 --> 00:54:53.230 Charlie, we just got, it's rumor status, but this is Tharkrime, so why not? 00:54:53.370 --> 00:54:56.590 We got a rumor that ICE is up in Kensington, Philadelphia tonight. 00:54:57.730 --> 00:54:58.230 Oh, really? 00:54:58.490 --> 00:54:59.830 Yeah, we're all the fentanyl zombies are. 00:55:01.250 --> 00:55:01.530 Unbelievable. 00:55:01.810 --> 00:55:03.190 I mean, just going after all the dealers down there. 00:55:03.290 --> 00:55:04.090 I mean, they're merchants of death. 00:55:04.410 --> 00:55:08.950 Let's do one of our reads, and then if there's nothing else, we'll end with a CCP. 00:55:09.820 --> 00:55:11.480 I'm interested in hearing about the CCP. 00:55:11.920 --> 00:55:13.620 I want to play that meme with Tom Hohman. 00:55:14.140 --> 00:55:15.820 Are you tired of getting a surprise when 00:55:15.820 --> 00:55:17.500 you see your cloud services bill every month? 00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:21.620 Well, our friends at Rumble have done it again. 00:55:21.860 --> 00:55:23.880 The new Rumble cloud services are coming this spring. 00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:27.100 Rumble has built the cloud for the parallel economy. 00:55:27.260 --> 00:55:29.020 The disruptive Rumble cloud pricing model 00:55:29.020 --> 00:55:30.800 will blow away the big tech clouds 00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:33.040 with big savings and more predictable budgeting. 00:55:33.600 --> 00:55:35.080 And like Rumble video, you don't have 00:55:35.080 --> 00:55:36.900 to worry about cancellation on Rumble cloud. 00:55:37.080 --> 00:55:38.260 Remember what happened to Parler? 00:55:39.530 --> 00:55:51.390 Exclusively for Friends of Rumble, sign up today at friends.rumble.cloud and receive 30% off the first three months of your Cloud Compute subscription, which will then be available for purchase later this quarter. 00:55:52.200 --> 00:55:56.900 Rumble Cloud Services are the essential cloud services you need for any size business to 00:55:56.900 --> 00:56:03.880 innovate and grow.

I would love to see JD Vance like showing up 00:58:40.150 --> 00:58:45.330 He'll be making site visits. You know making site. I mean basically embedded himself for the DoD, right? 00:58:45.390 --> 00:58:49.350 He's famous for this. So why not? It's kind of like in the Navy 00:58:49.350 --> 00:58:56.110 We would have you know the CO exo kind of relationship where this where the exo is the is the executive officer of the ship and his job is like 00:58:56.110 --> 00:59:02.770 You know make sure the ship's running properly make sure all the departments are functioning and then the CEO his job is where's the ship going? 00:59:03.850 --> 00:59:07.470 What, you know, are we, are we, execute, or are we, um... 00:59:07.530 --> 00:59:12.590 Are we are we clearly defining the mission? Does the mission make sense? That's the CEO's job and then the exo 00:59:12.590 --> 00:59:17.530 That's JD Vance. So JD Vance is I want him to making these and by the way not just here in DC 00:59:17.530 --> 00:59:22.310 But all around the country. Okay, let's end with CCP. Let's okay 00:59:22.310 --> 00:59:31.110 So the inauguration the inauguration day begins with a service at st. John's Episcopal Church, which was the VVIP ticket 00:59:31.710 --> 00:59:35.530 Very difficult to get to in fact you in order to get in the rotunda as a guest 00:59:36.060 --> 00:59:42.540 had to start in the St. John's Church. So only those that were in St. John's 00:59:42.540 --> 00:59:46.080 Church actually ended up getting tickets into the rotunda. Joe Rogan was 00:59:46.080 --> 00:59:49.760 there, everyone was there. So we had a lot of time to burn. The president was a 00:59:49.760 --> 00:59:53.100 little bit late. Church that Antifa tried to burn down. Correct. Right outside of 00:59:53.100 --> 00:59:57.220 the White House. And so kind of going around the next thing you know, I run 00:59:57.220 --> 01:00:03.060 into the vice president of China. As you do. Yeah, just normal. So can I just say 01:00:04.710 --> 01:00:11.610 For the last while it's been super weird rather remarkable. It's like so I was like I gotta get a picture, right? 01:00:11.990 --> 01:00:15.970 So I go up. That's my picture with the vice president of China ladies guy. We did this 01:00:16.890 --> 01:00:21.050 Oh gosh, not yet. This is exclusive thought crime stuff here. Here we go. He saved it 01:00:21.050 --> 01:00:25.230 I wanted to tweet it. JD did post hits. Yeah, so I should probably post mine 01:00:25.230 --> 01:00:29.270 Wasn't there something where JD didn't release it, but it was actually like a Chinese outlet released it or something? 01:00:29.490 --> 01:00:32.810 I have no idea. So I don't know what this guy's name is 01:00:32.810 --> 01:00:37.290 He was really nice and so as soon as I get a picture of them some guy with a camera 01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:40.780 It's kind of one of those it's like a stick with a camera 01:00:40.780 --> 01:00:44.000 Do you know I'm talking about like a little stick as if you're looking like a selfie stick? 01:00:44.520 --> 01:00:49.060 Yeah, but it's like some sort of a technology. I haven't seen okay. It's like a stick 01:00:49.060 --> 01:00:53.280 But it has like a mobile camera that kind of goes like this. Oh, I know you're good 01:00:53.280 --> 01:01:00.120 Like it's got a it's got a um. Oh gosh like bring for I know you're talking. Yeah, it goes up. He's like, what's your name? 01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:02.920 What's your name? I said, my name is Jack Pasoba. It's Han Jung and so 01:01:04.120 --> 01:01:04.440 great 01:01:04.990 --> 01:01:05.230 No. 01:01:05.410 --> 01:01:06.770 So my name's Charlie Kirk, and then you 01:01:06.770 --> 01:01:07.330 say whatever we get. 01:01:07.630 --> 01:01:08.870 So then we go sit down. 01:01:09.810 --> 01:01:12.170 And if you ever been in St. John's Episcopal Church, 01:01:12.290 --> 01:01:14.390 it's very tight, very close quarters. 01:01:15.650 --> 01:01:17.170 And I'm not saying anything private, 01:01:17.270 --> 01:01:19.250 because everyone saw what was happening here. 01:01:19.890 --> 01:01:24.030 And so up on the kind, there's like this upper ring 01:01:24.030 --> 01:01:25.910 where you look down on the service, 01:01:27.410 --> 01:01:31.670 one of the CCP handlers is like filming the whole crowd. 01:01:32.070 --> 01:01:32.250 Yeah. 01:01:32.650 --> 01:01:37.990 He's filming everybody during the service so they can use facial recognition like one of these things like where it's got the little 01:01:37.990 --> 01:01:41.210 Yeah, but no, so he's filming it 01:01:41.210 --> 01:01:45.690 So here's the secret service who's like you can't bring water into the church, right? 01:01:45.890 --> 01:01:48.330 And there's a Chinese Communist Party 01:01:48.890 --> 01:01:50.890 agent government officials like 01:01:50.890 --> 01:01:55.570 Filming everybody and so all of a sudden some of the White House staff is like they're starting to point up here 01:01:55.570 --> 01:01:56.290 He's like 01:01:56.510 --> 01:02:01.230 going down there, they are so brazen about espionage. 01:02:01.430 --> 01:02:03.150 The three-axis stabilization camera, 01:02:03.310 --> 01:02:04.630 where it kind of like, yeah, exactly. 01:02:04.850 --> 01:02:06.310 So, you know what else wouldn't surprise me. 01:02:06.310 --> 01:02:06.970 Listening to our conversations. 01:02:07.250 --> 01:02:08.390 You know what else wouldn't surprise me 01:02:08.390 --> 01:02:12.570 is if they had some type of signal collector on them as well, 01:02:12.950 --> 01:02:16.590 so that if as the vice president, Han Jung, 01:02:17.090 --> 01:02:18.470 if he was going around someone, 01:02:18.590 --> 01:02:20.170 if he had a signal collector on him, 01:02:20.390 --> 01:02:22.290 then what they could do is time the video 01:02:22.290 --> 01:02:23.610 up with the signal collector. 01:02:23.890 --> 01:02:25.800 So, when Charlie Kirk walks up, 01:02:25.800 --> 01:02:30.500 Then boom if you it so did you have your cell phone on you? Yeah, what's your cell phone on? Yeah? 01:02:30.580 --> 01:02:31.320 Well, there you go 01:02:31.320 --> 01:02:37.760 So then boom that that signal that number on my phone tonight that number pops up in the signal collect by the way 01:02:37.760 --> 01:02:41.120 And he can say oh this number must be associated with this person 01:02:41.120 --> 01:02:44.280 So here's the thing my phone has been like not that I would know anything about fire 01:02:44.280 --> 01:02:47.960 So I think this is why I think it's because they're dragging my phone 01:02:47.960 --> 01:02:51.740 Well, I'm telling you what my you and I I'm not joking by the way that's like 01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:56.400 not even that's like not even like that's like no levels by games so you 01:02:56.400 --> 01:03:00.420 but anyway what I got found so amazing is that no one's told this guy to stop 01:03:00.420 --> 01:03:04.680 until like 20 minutes in and he's using a little gimbal scanning the whole 01:03:04.680 --> 01:03:08.700 audience like he's over the balcony imagine like you're sitting down here 01:03:08.700 --> 01:03:11.720 I'm over the balcony and he and by the way this is not like a schlepping audience 01:03:11.720 --> 01:03:13.080 you had Scott Besant 01:03:13.290 --> 01:03:18.170 You had Mark Zuckerberg. You had the CEO of TikTok. You had Jeff Bezos. You had Sam Altman. 01:03:18.410 --> 01:03:19.250 Don't forget Jeff Bezos. 01:03:19.810 --> 01:03:20.890 Sundar Prakai. What? 01:03:21.630 --> 01:03:24.190 I said, don't forget Jeff Bezos, significant other. I don't know. 01:03:24.270 --> 01:03:25.610 They were all in church, right? 01:03:25.650 --> 01:03:25.970 And her daughters. 01:03:26.170 --> 01:03:29.470 So they're all in church, and he is scanning every single one of them 01:03:29.470 --> 01:03:32.330 from the balcony doing signal collecting. God knows what. 01:03:32.430 --> 01:03:35.590 Yeah, because if the problem with the signal collector like that is when you go into a crowd, 01:03:35.990 --> 01:03:39.296 you're going to get all the signals, but they're not going to be associated with... 01:03:39.950 --> 01:03:45.750 Individuals and that's why you need to pair it with the video so you can determine. Okay that we Charlie Kirk walks by and then boom 01:03:45.750 --> 01:03:49.350 We collected the signal then you have to remember and then boom we got the signal 01:03:49.350 --> 01:03:54.710 You have to remember this was happening while Joe Biden was still president and we should never forget this 01:03:54.710 --> 01:04:00.690 We should just never forget how Joe Biden was the worst freaking president ever. This is a true headline 01:04:00.690 --> 01:04:04.350 I'm reading it verbatim from Politico 01:04:04.700 --> 01:04:11.060 This happened in 2022. DOJ shuts down China-focused anti-espionage program. 01:04:11.720 --> 01:04:17.660 The Chinese initiative is being cast aside largely because of perceptions 01:04:17.660 --> 01:04:26.660 that it unfairly painted US residents of Chinese origin as disloyal. They stopped doing China 01:04:26.660 --> 01:04:32.120 counter espionage because they were worried it was racist, that their China counter espionage 01:04:33.900 --> 01:04:41.000 people from China. They hated America. Somebody at somebody at the 01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:44.500 pre-ceremony for the presidential inauguration hours before Trump runs 01:04:44.500 --> 01:04:51.440 the government is brazenly spying on every incoming cabinet member and then 01:04:51.440 --> 01:04:54.120 finally about ten minutes in someone goes up to him and taps him on the 01:04:54.120 --> 01:04:58.960 shoulder and says stop it knock it off. Everyone in the White House staffed to 01:04:58.960 --> 01:05:02.020 their credit was like what's going on up there like people were pointing and 01:05:03.600 --> 01:05:10.580 Like this scanning conversations the whole thing and and and for all I know, you know, they've 01:05:11.340 --> 01:05:14.340 They've probably got AI loaded on there. They've probably got facial recognition 01:05:14.340 --> 01:05:18.720 They could have something where they could even have something where depending on the fidelity 01:05:18.720 --> 01:05:23.760 I mean you talk about Han Jung this guy's the vice president of China. Oh funny enough. I actually met him 01:05:24.280 --> 01:05:28.464 like almost 20 years ago when he was the mayor of Shanghai and 01:05:29.100 --> 01:05:31.104 because he happened to be the mayor when I lived there and 01:05:32.240 --> 01:05:32.680 the 01:05:34.140 --> 01:05:37.460 They could have they could have collections on there with high enough fidelity 01:05:37.460 --> 01:05:45.300 They were picking up every conversation in the room at the same time and then break using AI to isolate voices and break it out 01:05:45.300 --> 01:05:49.160 So that they could later go back and listen to every single individual private conversation 01:05:49.160 --> 01:05:52.300 Well, by the way, the most common camera right that with a gimbal 01:05:52.300 --> 01:05:56.280 I guess is what what it's called is DJ DJ I DJ 01:05:56.780 --> 01:06:02.060 which is the Chinese Chinese yeah which by the way we were contracting at both federal and state 01:06:02.060 --> 01:06:07.100 governments like a lot of them and they I think during the first Trump administration they flagged 01:06:07.100 --> 01:06:10.960 it as like a potential spyware just do you believe all this that I'm saying jack this is very believable 01:06:10.960 --> 01:06:16.580 to you right I would be surprised if they weren't to be honest what what amazed me and it was such 01:06:16.580 --> 01:06:20.620 a microcosm of the failure of Biden because that was Biden's government Trump had no power at that 01:06:20.620 --> 01:06:25.700 time it's just like the indifference like no one who is currently on government was like 01:06:25.880 --> 01:06:27.480 Yeah, they're just... 01:06:27.480 --> 01:06:28.560 Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk's going like, 01:06:29.000 --> 01:06:29.360 Hey! 01:06:29.760 --> 01:06:29.840 Hey! 01:06:30.000 --> 01:06:32.540 Not only that, like, by the way, Sergio's turning around, he's like, 01:06:32.620 --> 01:06:33.380 What the hell's going on here? 01:06:33.460 --> 01:06:33.620 Yeah. 01:06:33.700 --> 01:06:37.260 Everyone's like this and that, and like pointing, like, at least ten people are noticing 01:06:37.700 --> 01:06:43.240 that the Chinese delegation is using some sort of Chinese listening device scanning. 01:06:43.560 --> 01:06:46.340 It wasn't just like, he was like over the balcony like this. 01:06:46.680 --> 01:06:46.920 Yeah. 01:06:47.400 --> 01:06:48.040 It wasn't being subtle. 01:06:48.420 --> 01:06:49.440 No, there was no subtlety. 01:06:49.740 --> 01:06:49.960 Yeah. 01:06:50.420 --> 01:06:53.480 So, that's my CCP story, and I met the JD Vance of China. 01:06:55.120 --> 01:06:58.140 J.D. Vance of China. It's fair enough. It's a good description. 01:06:58.680 --> 01:07:01.180 How'd I do in my picture? I think I passed the line test, right? 01:07:01.260 --> 01:07:03.780 No, it's hilarious, by the way. You're just, like, straight up. 01:07:05.360 --> 01:07:09.500 I can just imagine your thought process in that moment, like, don't be too friendly. 01:07:10.200 --> 01:07:10.380 Yeah, exactly. 01:07:11.980 --> 01:07:17.480 This guy, so to give you a little background on him, so having been the... 01:07:18.080 --> 01:07:20.480 He was the mayor of Shanghai when... 01:07:20.800 --> 01:07:26.100 But the mayor in China is not the highest position in the city the highest province 01:07:26.780 --> 01:07:31.160 Well Shanghai is kind of province level correct, which is correct Beijing is similar 01:07:31.160 --> 01:07:31.940 so 01:07:31.940 --> 01:07:39.100 But that's not the highest ranking official in an area because whoever's highest ranking is always going to be your party secretary 01:07:39.100 --> 01:07:45.240 So the party secretary is always going to outrank whoever the official mayor is and the party secretary of Shanghai 01:07:45.240 --> 01:07:49.080 When this guy was the mayor was a guy by the name of Xi Jinping 01:07:49.790 --> 01:07:54.710 So this guy and Xi Jinping go back go way way way back 01:07:54.710 --> 01:08:01.090 He was instrumental in getting Xi Jinping picked to the Politburo all the way back in 2012 when he ascended up 01:08:01.090 --> 01:08:03.570 And and to the presidency quote-unquote 01:08:03.570 --> 01:08:06.290 Chairman ship when he came up so he's been along with them 01:08:06.290 --> 01:08:14.110 Well, this is this is one of his most trust even the fact that Trump chose to invite President Xi and then he sent his vice president was 01:08:14.440 --> 01:08:18.820 Fairly remarkable and newsworthy. It's not really done. No, it's it's it's not something that's really done 01:08:18.820 --> 01:08:25.800 Foreign leaders don't don't have I think I've ever come to a presidential inauguration before it's something and and it's funny, too 01:08:25.800 --> 01:08:30.220 Because Trump clearly just it's just free money. That's just sitting on the table 01:08:30.220 --> 01:08:33.060 And he just goes and picks it up because obviously in the back of his head 01:08:33.060 --> 01:08:37.940 He's remembering King Charles's coronation ceremony, which was you know only a couple like what a couple of months ago 01:08:37.940 --> 01:08:40.440 And all the world leaders went to that so 01:08:40.700 --> 01:08:43.440 Why wouldn't they come to his inauguration ceremony? It just makes sense. 01:08:43.600 --> 01:08:51.080 Well, it's also, I think, an acknowledgement of the dynamic that has existed with China 01:08:51.080 --> 01:08:54.820 when Trump first started tariffing China in the first administration. 01:08:55.500 --> 01:09:00.260 They are the big geopolitical foe. And so it's a power move to say, 01:09:00.340 --> 01:09:03.280 hey, listen, I'm going to be really tough on you, but hey, we can get along. 01:09:03.560 --> 01:09:09.700 Yeah, it's actually funny cuz Trump is extremely popular within China. Oh, yeah, like the Chinese people love them 01:09:09.700 --> 01:09:13.340 They can't get enough of them. They just they there's like if you go on 01:09:13.340 --> 01:09:17.580 The Chinese version of tick-tock you'll you'll find all sorts of people doing like 01:09:18.088 --> 01:09:22.920 Impersonations of Trump and using it in using like Trump impersonations in ads and they just they think he's great 01:09:22.920 --> 01:09:27.540 Well, I think Trump is experiencing a boon in popularity not only domestically but internationally 01:09:27.540 --> 01:09:32.460 I mean Raheem Kassam mutual friend says that in London now you'll see 01:09:32.700 --> 01:09:36.500 tons of maggots the uh... wall street journal famous for him to some by the 01:09:36.500 --> 01:09:39.500 way to see a piece on on his new uh... new club this morning i did 01:09:39.500 --> 01:09:43.140 you guys and buy it but it's but it works but it works yeah i i was there 01:09:43.140 --> 01:09:46.800 this week yeah yeah that's it's a trial and i may or may not be there tomorrow 01:09:46.800 --> 01:09:47.980 we'll see you gotta go and 01:09:48.560 --> 01:09:49.920 uh... reheems new club downtown 01:09:49.920 --> 01:09:53.840 it's right on capitol hill had huge profile in the wall street journal this 01:09:53.840 --> 01:09:57.200 morning everybody i will tell you one of the most common questions i've gotten 01:09:57.200 --> 01:09:57.420 from 01:09:57.420 --> 01:09:59.200 journalists is where's the new hot 01:10:00.920 --> 01:10:02.940 In Trump 1.0, it was Trump. 01:10:03.120 --> 01:10:05.020 Waldorf has still had some people going there. 01:10:05.240 --> 01:10:05.940 OK, that's interesting. 01:10:06.000 --> 01:10:07.460 But I don't really know the new play. 01:10:07.560 --> 01:10:08.260 It used to be Trump Hotel. 01:10:08.460 --> 01:10:10.280 That was like it's Butterworth's. 01:10:10.780 --> 01:10:11.440 Well, it depends. 01:10:11.700 --> 01:10:14.900 There's different clicks, right? 01:10:15.340 --> 01:10:16.580 I think that's certainly one of them. 01:10:17.060 --> 01:10:17.200 Anyways. 01:10:17.540 --> 01:10:17.980 All right, guys. 01:10:18.440 --> 01:10:20.480 Thank you for watching Thought Crime. 01:10:21.280 --> 01:10:22.180 God bless you guys. 01:10:22.600 --> 01:10:25.780 And make sure you stay free of CCP spying. 01:10:27.250 --> 01:10:27.930 Talk to you soon
