The Charlie Kirk Show - Republicans Push for Mass Amnesty??

Duration: 31:52

[00:00:00]  Hey everybody, why are Republicans fighting for amnesty?
[00:00:03]  Do Hispanic voters want amnesty?
[00:00:05]  This is a critical moment.
[00:00:07]  We dissect that and so much more.
[00:00:09]  Email us your questions, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:00:13]  And if you want to support us, please go to charliekirk.com/slash support.
[00:00:18]  Amnesty, Republicans, and more.
[00:00:20]  Buckle up.
[00:00:21]  Here we go.
[00:00:22]  Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
[00:00:24]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
[00:00:26]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:00:30]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:00:33]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:00:34]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:00:35]  His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
[00:00:43]  We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
[00:00:52]  That's why we are here.
[00:00:56]  I just got this alert on my Apple hardware device.
[00:00:59]  By the way, I'm trying to find a different hardware company besides Apple and no, not Android or Google.
[00:01:04]  It says, get notified of possible exposure to COVID-19 by the California Department at Public Health because we were there last weekend.
[00:01:10]  That is Orwellian.
[00:01:12]  Go through your settings and deactivate everything.
[00:01:15]  This stuff, I'm telling you where this is headed.
[00:01:17]  I'm actually going to write an essay of where I actually think we're going to be 20 years from now if this stuff plays it out the way it is.
[00:01:26]  And I actually think that there will be a pro-human movement that becomes very popular in the next couple of years.
[00:01:32]  You got this?
[00:01:32]  Write down this prediction, Mr. Connor.
[00:01:35]  The pro-human movement of people that say, I don't want to deal with this tracking, surveillance, screens.
[00:01:43]  I want to go back to being a human being.
[00:01:45]  That will be very popular.
[00:01:47]  Now, I read every email.
[00:01:49]  I don't respond to every email.
[00:01:51]  We literally have 44,485 new emails that have come in.
[00:01:56]  So I will continue to go through them and I read every single one.
[00:02:01]  And I try to respond to as many as I can.
[00:02:02]  Freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:02:05]  One of the biggest lies that is taught to our young people in political science courses and also from our leaders is the lie that we both want the same thing.
[00:02:17]  That conservatives and liberals both want the same thing.
[00:02:21]  We just have different ways of getting there.
[00:02:23]  That our goals are the same.
[00:02:25]  We just have different roads to get us to that end objective.
[00:02:30]  That we all want what's best for America and our intentions are the same.
[00:02:35]  Now, this lie is believed by many different leaders in the Republican Party.
[00:02:45]  But do you know that it's believed by no one in the Democrat Party?
[00:02:49]  That's what's so fascinating is that no Democrat believes that Republicans want the same thing that they want.
[00:02:57]  But dozens of Republicans believe that Democrats want what they want.
[00:03:02]  We want two completely different things.
[00:03:05]  We believe America is our home, not a temporary colony.
[00:03:10]  We believe that immigration must be restricted.
[00:03:12]  We believe in strong families.
[00:03:14]  We believe in ending abortion.
[00:03:16]  We believe in Second Amendment rights.
[00:03:17]  We believe in First Amendment rights.
[00:03:20]  The left doesn't believe in any of that.
[00:03:21]  They believe in taxpayer-funded post-birth abortion on demand with 1 million abortions a year.
[00:03:27]  They believe in mass drug legalization.
[00:03:29]  They believe in open borders.
[00:03:31]  And they believe this.
[00:03:31]  There's nothing special about this country, nothing unique, nothing exceptional.
[00:03:35]  So we might as well get whatever we can out of it and move on.
[00:03:38]  And they also believe that human beings are on the same moral playing field as the birds and the bison and some tree that I've never seen in northwest Alaska that somehow is worthy of preservation because we can't build a pipeline or something like that.
[00:03:56]  And I'm very pro conservation of our public lands, but I also believe in a moral hierarchy that human beings come above the land.
[00:04:04]  Okay.
[00:04:05]  And one senator who we've had on the Charlie Kirk show, I actually enjoy him.
[00:04:10]  He's a nice man, but he's being deceived either by his staffers, by his friends, or he's being deceived by his own thoughts.
[00:04:17]  That he believes that in this moment, somehow we can work together with Democrats.
[00:04:21]  So let me just paint the picture of where we are.
[00:04:24]  Democrats and their allies in Menlo Park are kicking conservatives off of social media and suppressing conservatives on social media at a record pace.
[00:04:34]  They passed a $1.9 trillion stimulus bill without one Republican vote.
[00:04:39]  They passed H.R. 1 to fundamentally change all of our voting systems in our country.
[00:04:44]  They passed H.R. 5 to allow men to go in women's locker rooms and end women's sports as we know it.
[00:04:50]  They're trying to pass H.R. 51 to make Washington, D.C. a state.
[00:04:54]  And then H.R. 7, I think it was H.R. 7, H.R. anti-2A was passed, and eight Republicans signed on to it, including Adam Kinzinger, to take your weapons away and take away a Second Amendment rights.
[00:05:11]  So Senator Rick Scott, with all of that happening, with hundreds of thousands of people pouring over the border, what does Senator Rick Scott do?
[00:05:21]  He announces a mass amnesty plan.
[00:05:25]  Senator Rick Scott, senator from Florida, comes out with a mass legalization package and program to legitimize lawbreaking, border jumping, and the illegal entry into our home, into our country.
[00:05:46]  Senator Rick Scott frames it, and I'm going to give him more grace than I would an establishment Republican, because I actually think, because I've had a chance to get to know him, but he's not going to be immune to criticism here on this program, that I think he thinks the Democrats actually mean well.
[00:06:06]  They don't.
[00:06:07]  The Democrats do not mean well.
[00:06:10]  They want a borderless society where a flow of illegals into our country will make America a completely different country.
[00:06:22]  Not to mention the mass lawlessness.
[00:06:24]  So on January 29th, Senator Rick Scott says we must enhance border security and provide permanent DACA protection.
[00:06:31]  No, we don't.
[00:06:32]  We don't have to.
[00:06:34]  All we need is border security.
[00:06:35]  And if we're not going to get it, then so be it.
[00:06:40]  DACA protection or the mass amnesty of illegals would be a tragic mistake while you already have hundreds of thousands of people that are coming into the country.
[00:06:49]  Do you think more illegals or less illegals are going to come over when you do a measure like this?
[00:06:54]  Ryan James Gurdusky comes out and he was the original one that called out Senator Rick Scott's plan.
[00:07:04]  It would give the following to DACA recipients or illegals domiciled into our country.
[00:07:14]  It would give them potentially a pathway to citizenship.
[00:07:19]  That is a no-go.
[00:07:22]  Absolutely not, which means eventually they can vote.
[00:07:24]  That's why the Democrats are so excited to get this deal done.
[00:07:27]  Now, Senator Rick Scott has all this stuff around extra border security.
[00:07:31]  Who enforces the laws?
[00:07:34]  The executive branch.
[00:07:36]  Do you think the Biden administration will actually implement this law from Congress?
[00:07:41]  They'll slow walk it.
[00:07:43]  They'll get their amnesty and they will reappropriate the money and they will not follow these laws and it'll get tied up in the courts with some Obama-Biden judge and they'll get their way.
[00:07:58]  Anyone who believes that you can do an immigration deal with the Democrats is so unbelievably naive.
[00:08:03]  Now, why are they doing this?
[00:08:05]  Well, because the Chamber of Commerce, who runs a significant portion of the Republican Party, they want more illegals into the country so they can bring down wages so they don't have to pay American workers and more people to go buy their piles of plastic garbage that they import from Wuhan.
[00:08:23]  That's why.
[00:08:24]  It's a consumer-based economy where we aren't making significant hardware investments, where you don't make things thoughtfully or deliberately.
[00:08:33]  Instead, we go have mountains of stuff that we're never going to use in a massive labor arbitrage where five or six companies get so wealthy that it's incomprehensible.
[00:08:46]  Bezos is worth $150 billion.
[00:08:49]  The Louis Vuitton guy is worth $134 billion.
[00:08:52]  The Walton family is worth $150 billion.
[00:08:55]  And I'm a free market guy.
[00:08:56]  I'm a capitalist.
[00:08:57]  God bless them for making money, but they didn't even make it within the free market guidelines.
[00:09:01]  Walmart makes money through food stamps.
[00:09:04]  They're one of the largest processors of EBT in the entire country.
[00:09:09]  Bezos makes money through a taxpayer-funded shipping and delivery mechanism, also paying no federal income tax, and all this money is made from servers to destroy small businesses in our country.
[00:09:21]  And so, what is the priority of Senator Rick Scott?
[00:09:23]  I know, let's go legalize a couple million people in our country who studies will show that's just future Democrat voters.
[00:09:31]  That's basically it.
[00:09:33]  Believe it or not, Hispanics didn't vote for amnesty this last election cycle.
[00:09:37]  And so, in this bill, or in this story, I should say, around this, what's okay, this is TampaBay.com.
[00:09:43]  I know that area very well.
[00:09:45]  It talks about how Senator Rick Scott is working alongside Democrats.
[00:09:51]  Big mistake.
[00:09:52]  You see, this is not the 1980s or the 1990s where they were honest Democrats.
[00:09:56]  The Democrats have now showed us that Joe Biden's call for unity was a con job, it was a mirage, it was a sleight of hand, a Houdini trick to try to get you distracted and have take your eye off what the Democrats are actually doing.
[00:10:15]  There's one of the main reasons why Joe Biden is so unbelievably boring: they want to lull you to sleep while their plunder and their theft is happening on the American people, happening on you.
[00:10:27]  And so, Rick Scott has a false premise.
[00:10:30]  His premise is that we can work with Democrats.
[00:10:33]  I wish we could.
[00:10:34]  We can't.
[00:10:35]  These Democrats have showed us they do not want to work with us.
[00:10:38]  They're trying to catch up for lost time of the Trump presidency.
[00:10:42]  They want men to go in women's locker rooms.
[00:10:44]  They want all the stuff we've talked about.
[00:10:46]  And so, this story, immigration overhaul bill may reform Florida farm working conditions.
[00:10:53]  And Senator Rick Scott shows that he's working alongside Democrats to try and put amnesty.
[00:10:59]  Now, Democrats did not work alongside Republicans on the stimulus bill, which never should have been passed, which was a massive multi-trillion dollar handout to every single Democrat crony donor group.
[00:11:16]  Democrats did not work alongside Republicans when it came to HR5 or adding D.C. as a state.
[00:11:23]  But for whatever reason, Republicans always wanting to be liked by Democrats.
[00:11:27]  And I want to give probably the benefit of the doubt here to Rick Scott.
[00:11:31]  I think he's probably a generally really good person, and he believes in this utopian political vision that we all want the same thing, we can all work together.
[00:11:39]  This is brass knuckle politics.
[00:11:42]  This is the way American politics work right now.
[00:11:44]  If you don't have the majority, nothing's going to get done.
[00:11:47]  Oppose everything.
[00:11:48]  Use it as a PR stump.
[00:11:50]  Basically, focus on state-based reforms and get power back.
[00:11:53]  It's that simple.
[00:11:56]  I wish it wasn't the case.
[00:11:57]  I wish we could have these wonderful bipartisan agreements on things that are the best for the country.
[00:12:02]  That's not the case.
[00:12:03]  We all know that's not the case.
[00:12:04]  Only if you live in Washington, D.C., could you believe the opposite?
[00:12:08]  If you spend enough time around that kingdom, around that wasteland, could you possibly ever believe, you know, I think Senator Chris Coons and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse are good people.
[00:12:18]  Okay, they might be nice golf partners, but they want the bitter and total destruction of the country.
[00:12:24]  And they want it through immigration.
[00:12:26]  Immigration has always been the Democrats' long-sought objective.
[00:12:32]  Reagan said that the Simpson-Mazzoli Act, which was mass amnesty, was the greatest mistake of his wonderful presidency.
[00:12:42]  Everyone's mother always says, eat all your vegetables.
[00:12:44]  Even as adults, we still have excuses why we don't eat them.
[00:12:47]  They taste terrible.
[00:12:48]  It's so much trouble to prepare.
[00:12:50]  Fresh fruits and vegetables are so expensive.
[00:12:52]  Your mom wanted you to eat your fruits and vegetables because she knew that's how we get and stay healthy.
[00:12:57]  While your mom never listened to your excuses, Balance of Nature has listened.
[00:13:02]  All 10 daily servings of fruits and vegetables are in six small capsules.
[00:13:06]  I take them every day.
[00:13:07]  They're absolutely no trouble, always fresh, nothing artificial, and ready to take.
[00:13:11]  And the cost, literally pennies per serving.
[00:13:14]  Balance of Nature's fruit and vegetables are no hassle, no weird flavors, and mere pennies per serving.

[00:13:42]  So Senator Rick Scott is trying to put forward an amnesty deal that very well could contribute to the downfall of America.
[00:13:50]  One of the main groups behind this is, of course, the United States Chamber of Congress, as well as this group, the Agricultural Workers Group.
[00:14:03]  The name of the group is the Florida Farm Bureau.
[00:14:06]  While we think that the U.S. Citizenship Act will not become law as it's written today, it starts an important conversation we've encouraged for decades.
[00:14:13]  Our farm workers and employees in Florida, agricultural, agriculture, are critical to the sustainability and vitality of our rural communities.
[00:14:20]  That is why fair common sense reforms must be adopted for a severely antiquated system.
[00:14:24]  We look forward to moving past partisanship on this issue and striving for a serious approach to our agricultural labor challenges in this Congress.
[00:14:30]  Labor challenges around agriculture are mostly a lie.
[00:14:34]  South Dakota demonstrated that this last summer where they did not have any immigrants allowed into the state of South Dakota.
[00:14:40]  All the needs were met.
[00:14:41]  Wages had to be increased a little bit to allow high schoolers and other people into the labor force.
[00:14:47]  But this idea that many of the corporations put forward that we need massive open borders to accommodate the agricultural needs is not true.
[00:14:57]  And also, it's unbelievably insulting to people that come to America that the only thing that they're possibly good for is to go pick vegetables or fruits.
[00:15:08]  That's what liberals say and the Chamber of Commerce says.
[00:15:11]  So you know that President Trump did historically well with Hispanics and Latino voters despite not promising amnesty.
[00:15:20]  So Mitt Romney promised some form of amnesty and he did worse.
[00:15:24]  John McCain, the same thing.
[00:15:26]  Donald Trump promises a wall and strict immigration and actually implemented it.
[00:15:31]  And he did four points better with Latinos from 2016 and he did 11 points better in Florida.
[00:15:38]  So, Senator Rick Scott, you represent the state of Florida.
[00:15:42]  Are you willing to listen or look at the trend that actually Latino voters do not want an unlimited flow of people into our country?
[00:15:50]  And they do not want mass legalization for people that broke our laws to come into America.
[00:15:58]  You see, Senator Rick Scott, in Miami, there are Cubans, Venezuelans, Argentinians that have become Americans, and they came here the right way.
[00:16:08]  And they look at the DACA people and the parents that brought them there, and they think, wait a second, I had to wait in line.
[00:16:16]  Why does my senator want to give mass amnesty to these people?
[00:16:20]  Let them cut in line, which would be a gift to the Democrat Party.
[00:16:25]  And it's not what Hispanics are voting for.
[00:16:27]  When given the opportunity, Hispanics are trending in the direction, especially around the Rio Grande Valley, to argue for stronger borders and stricter flow of people.
[00:16:38]  The Washington Post says this: the clearest sign and signal of this dynamic comes from South Texas.
[00:16:45]  Trump's vote share jumped massively in rural areas, heavily Hispanic counties across the state's border, suggesting that some of Trump's appeal to rural, working-class, traditionalist white voters bled over to a demographically similar Latino voters.
[00:17:01]  As a former Roma Texas mayor, Freddie Guerra told the Wall Street Journal: There's a lot of parallels between a community that is 96% Hispanic and a community that's 96% white.
[00:17:13]  Well, that dispels all the ideas that somehow there's some sort of white supremacist insurrection in the country.
[00:17:19]  The Washington Post published this.
[00:17:21]  Wait, so you're trying to tell me that a 96% white county wants the same policies as a 96% Latino county?
[00:17:27]  So much for this whole white nationalist narrative that the Washington Post is trying to put forward.
[00:17:31]  And look, I can understand the temptation that Senator Rick Scott is feeling.
[00:17:35]  A lot of pressure from the Chamber of Commerce groups, a lot of pressure from Big Ag, a lot of pressure from his Democrat colleagues.
[00:17:41]  He wants to be liked.
[00:17:42]  He thinks this is the right thing for America.
[00:17:45]  It isn't.
[00:17:46]  And some people say, well, what about the DACA kids that were brought here illegally?
[00:17:49]  First of all, many of them came here when they were 13, 14, or 15 years old.
[00:17:54]  They weren't just carried over the Rio Grande Valley when they were two years old.
[00:17:58]  And many of them are now 30 or 35 years old, and there's plenty of crimes being committed by DACA recipients.
[00:18:04]  However, there is no argument in my worldview or the correct worldview of constitutional law to make mass exceptions to the law as it is written, especially when it comes to immigration.
[00:18:21]  It would basically say to the entire rest of the world that we do not care about who comes into our country.
[00:18:31]  Now, I wish that Republicans, when we had the House of Representatives and the Senate in 2016, when the corporate spokesperson, Paul Ryan, was running the House of Representatives, I wish we would have taken immigration more seriously.
[00:18:47]  A lot of these problems could have been solved.
[00:18:49]  We are not in a problem-solving moment right now.
[00:18:52]  We are in a very fragile political moment when Democrats are now basically saying, we have more votes than you, and we will do whatever it takes to be in power permanently.
[00:19:06]  There is a reason why Democrats are passing HR1 while simultaneously trying to cut a deal for amnesty.
[00:19:15]  HR1 would do mass voter registration, House Resolution 1, for every single person that has a driver's license and every single person that is in the prison bureau system, and basically every beating heart in all of North America would be a registered voter.
[00:19:37]  And so when I see Republicans go out of their way to try and take your guns and weapons away, like Adam Kinzinger and seven other Republicans, and pass mass amnesty, and then alongside that, they say that they're going to their number one priority is trying to repeal the estate tax as we went through yesterday.
[00:20:04]  I'm not surprised when I see the younger generation become more socialist.
[00:20:10]  You see, many times people say, well, why are students becoming socialists?
[00:20:14]  They just want free stuff.
[00:20:16]  I say, Republicans are not actually articulating a vision of a nation, of a country, of a vision and an agenda that young people want to get behind.
[00:20:27]  What's the agenda that Republicans articulating?
[00:20:30]  Open borders.
[00:20:33]  Take your weapons away.
[00:20:35]  No freedom at all whatsoever.
[00:20:36]  You can't speak your mind.
[00:20:38]  If the Republican Party is going to be a Chamber of Commerce corporate spokesperson party, they will have no political future at all whatsoever.
[00:20:46]  You want to know why young people are tempted by socialism?
[00:20:51]  Because they are worried about a corporate oligarchy that has set itself into a permanent power position in our country.
[00:20:59]  And the only people that talk about challenging that corporate oligarchy are the socialists.
[00:21:05]  Their diagnosis at times is correct.
[00:21:07]  Their remedies are immoral and foolish and backwards.
[00:21:12]  Our remedies as conservatives are, hey, let's rebuild the American family.
[00:21:18]  Let's not have Amazon have a $1 trillion power advantage over small businesses.
[00:21:24]  That's not healthy.
[00:21:26]  We believe in private property, but we don't believe in a Bezos-created intergalactic intercontinental empire, literally intergalactic with what he's trying to do to go to space.
[00:21:36]  How does that help American conservatism?
[00:21:38]  How does that help the flourishing of American families?
[00:21:41]  It doesn't.
[00:21:43]  And when you become a spokesperson for those very same corporate interests, don't be shocked when all of a sudden young people embrace socialism.
[00:21:54]  One of the reasons why Bernie Sanders was popular was because he was authentic in his crusade up against powerful interests.
[00:22:03]  Now, Bernie Sanders made a very foolish political decision in the last five years.
[00:22:10]  He decided to no longer represent or articulate pro-American immigration policy.
[00:22:17]  You know, Bernie Sanders used to talk about how the Koch brothers and certain corporate interests wanted a free flow of immigrants into the United States, an unfettered flow, a nonstop flow.
[00:22:30]  Now Bernie Sanders says we should open up our borders.
[00:22:32]  The minute Bernie Sanders did that, he actually lost a massive opportunity.
[00:22:38]  You see, if Bernie Sanders and the socialists were smart, they won't do this because they've decided to make a different political calculus than one that would actually benefit them, is they've decided to play into the woke industrial complex, oppression Olympics, open borders, and the deterioration of the country.
[00:22:55]  What was very popular in Vermont and in the rest of the country is, you know what?
[00:23:01]  We think corporations are too powerful.
[00:23:04]  And we also think that immigration policies are not helping the working class.
[00:23:09]  So this presents this huge opportunity.
[00:23:11]  And guess who capitalized on it?
[00:23:14]  Donald Trump did.
[00:23:16]  At every opportunity, the American people are voting for stricter immigration and less immigrants coming into America.
[00:23:23]  We have the most benevolent, generous immigration policies on the planet.
[00:23:28]  Over 1 million green cards are issued every single year.
[00:23:32]  Not to mention the illegals that border jump into America.
[00:23:35]  But when Republicans go out of their way to try to say we need more mass amnesty in a time when we are in a very fragile political environment, where we are just teetering on the edge, then I can't help but not feel sorry for any sort of political loss that those Republicans end up having to endure.
[00:23:58]  And we have seen what courage gets you in the last year.
[00:24:02]  Ron DeSantis, rising popularity and phenomenal results.
[00:24:10]  Trying to cooperate and work with the Democrats on an issue as sensitive, as literally as here who is going to be in our country and involve themselves in federal elections.
[00:24:22]  You should be very careful trying to do deals with people where all they care about is power.
[00:24:26]  And you're trying to tell me the Democrats are going to negotiate in good faith?
[00:24:30]  We're supposed to believe that the Democrats who tear up Trump's State of the Union address, who call half the country insurrectionists, who want to take your weapons away, who are now doing iron fist style politics, those are the people that we want to negotiate with, they had their window of negotiation.
[00:24:51]  They had their opportunity to work in good faith with us.
[00:24:54]  Now, it's time, unfortunately, for us to do what the Democrats did to us back in 2016 and 18, which is we're going to say no to everything and hope we get back in power.
[00:25:06]  I wish that wasn't the case, by the way.
[00:25:08]  I wish that we could come to cooperation.
[00:25:11]  When I see this mass amnesty deal floating through Congress, I only hope that all of you that are watching and listening will contact everyone, including Senator Rick Scott in the Republican Party and say, if you vote for amnesty and the legalization of people that are here against the laws of our country, then the Republican Party is over.
[00:25:33]  The Republican Party must be the pro-American party, not the pro-Chamber of Commerce Party or the mass legalization of immigrants party.

[00:26:46]  The government's lawyers saw Google a monopoly coming.
[00:26:49]  Their bosses refused to sue.
[00:26:51]  Quote, federal investigators were convinced Google's push to take over the mobile internet searches was illegal.
[00:26:57]  They had the evidence and urged their bosses to sue, but those politically appointed bosses overruled them.
[00:27:02]  This is back under Obama.
[00:27:04]  Now, conveniently, many former Obama administration officials have gone to go work for these tech companies, Google included.
[00:27:13]  There is a White House to Menlo Park pipeline in this country.
[00:27:19]  If you work in the White House, you can go work for Google.
[00:27:21]  You work for Google, you go work for the White House.
[00:27:24]  This is a stunning story that goes to show the government had Google in a very vulnerable position.
[00:27:32]  Google's a monopoly.
[00:27:34]  92% of all search results go through Google, 92%.
[00:27:41]  However, the federal regulators decided to do nothing.
[00:27:47]  A George W. Bush administration FTC commissioner who reviewed the 2012 documents said this, quote, I always assumed the staff memo was not so specific, direct, and clear about the path ahead.
[00:27:59]  A lot of the Department of Justice case is in there.
[00:28:01]  It's really breathtaking.
[00:28:03]  If you go through this story on politico.com, it's a very specific story.
[00:28:08]  It's very detailed.
[00:28:10]  But the essence is this, is that the government, the federal government, the lower levels of the Federal Trade Commission, the FTC, and the Department of Justice, they had Google dead to rights.
[00:28:22]  They had Google that very well could have broke up their leviathan monopoly that they now enjoy today.
[00:28:30]  Google might only control 30% of the search market if the government would have done their job.
[00:28:36]  And so the government lawyers had it all ready to go.
[00:28:38]  And someone killed this.
[00:28:41]  Someone within our government said, no, let Google become the most powerful institution on the planet.
[00:28:46]  The government did that, everybody.
[00:28:48]  This is a government-created monopoly.
[00:28:50]  So all you libertarians out there, they're like, oh, free market.
[00:28:54]  This is the absence of a free market.
[00:28:56]  This is the government that saw that Google was doing something illegal and they decided not to do anything.
[00:29:02]  This is page after page after page of information.
[00:29:08]  And one of the big revelations here is that Google pays Apple $12 billion a year to be the default web browser on Apple iPhones, $12 billion a year.
[00:29:21]  That's collusion.
[00:29:23]  These are things that we have very specific laws about racketeering, about businesses using their incumbent advantage to stifle competition.
[00:29:38]  And competition is fundamental to a free market.
[00:29:41]  This is not a free market at all.
[00:29:46]  And so right now, there needs to be congressional hearings into Google and into the former Federal Trade Commission to find out who got paid off.
[00:29:59]  In one October 2012 memo, 18 FTC lawyers and paralegals told the commissioners that Google controlled 97% of the global market for mobile search, that its contracts of phone providers made a default search engine for 86% of all smartphones.
[00:30:15]  They saw this beast coming.
[00:30:18]  They had an argument against it.
[00:30:21]  They could have liberated the search market, which would have made America and our political environment and our country a much more decent and stable place.
[00:30:30]  But what happened under the Obama administration is they saw that they had Google in a vulnerable position.
[00:30:39]  And I guarantee you, here's what happened.
[00:30:42]  The Obama administration went out to Google and they said, hey, we're going to let you go, but you're going to protect us when we need you.
[00:30:49]  And there was a deal cut.
[00:30:52]  And Google said, thank you.
[00:30:55]  And the masters of Menlo Park were given a hall pass.
[00:30:59]  They were given a pardon, if you will, a secret pardon from the Obama administration.
[00:31:06]  And this is where the marriage between Menlo Park and the Democrat Party was created.
[00:31:14]  The lack of an investigation and the lack of the enforcement of the law is what created Google to be the planet's most powerful company.
[00:31:24]  It's time to look into this and reverse it.
[00:31:27]  This is a bombshell story.
