[00:00:26]  Hey everybody, welcome to this episode of the Charlie Kirk Show.
[00:00:29]  This is Andrew Colvett filling in one final time for the one and only Charlie Kirk.
[00:00:33]  He'll be back tomorrow, so don't go anywhere.
[00:00:35]  But in the meantime, we got to talk about critical race theory.
[00:00:39]  We got to talk about Space Force.
[00:00:40]  There's a lieutenant colonel who's getting fired for speaking his mind.
[00:00:44]  Is he right?
[00:00:44]  Is he in the wrong?
[00:00:45]  I have a unique take I think you're going to be interested in.
[00:00:48]  Meanwhile, we got an update on the Arizona audit.
[00:00:51]  Everything you need to know.
[00:00:52]  We're keeping you up to speed.
[00:00:54]  You're not going to want to miss this episode.
[00:00:55]  We cover a lot.
[00:00:56]  Buckle up.
[00:00:57]  Here we go.
[00:00:58]  Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
[00:01:00]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
[00:01:02]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:01:06]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:01:09]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:01:10]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:01:11]  His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
[00:01:18]  Turning point USA.
[00:01:19]  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.
[00:01:28]  That's why we are here.
[00:01:31]  There's a lot of chaos going on, a lot of gaslighting going on.
[00:01:35]  The left likes to use that term, but no, no.
[00:01:37]  It's our term against them.
[00:01:38]  They're lying to you all the time.
[00:01:40]  We have proof in the Middle East.
[00:01:42]  We have all of this going off in Israel and Gaza.
[00:01:47]  And AP's been called out.
[00:01:49]  CNN's been called out.
[00:01:50]  They're all getting called out because guess what?
[00:01:52]  They've been lying to you.
[00:01:53]  They've been creating a simulation and we are all just living in it.
[00:01:56]  And we're like, we're snapping out of it.
[00:01:58]  This is ultimately the greatest gift that President Trump gave the world.
[00:02:02]  All right.
[00:02:02]  Whether he becomes president again in 2024 or he just becomes the GOP kingmaker, which he already is.
[00:02:08]  The truth of the matter is that he woke us all up from a deep slumber that started somewhere around the 90s and they just kept thinking the good times were always going to start keep rolling.
[00:02:19]  And President Trump came along after bungling mismanagement by our government and said, hey, everybody, it doesn't have to be this way.
[00:02:28]  And we're just finally waking up to it.
[00:02:32]  Folks, one of those ways that we have been completely lied to is in the era of immigration.
[00:02:38]  And there was a stunning report from the New York Times.
[00:02:41]  I read the New York Times, so you don't have to.
[00:02:43]  I think it's interesting.
[00:02:44]  Gets us out of our own bubble.
[00:02:47]  You're going to hear about it here, but we're going to break it down in a way that makes sense of it.
[00:02:52]  So here's the headline.
[00:02:54]  From India, Brazil, and beyond, pandemic refugees, interesting branding there, if you didn't catch that, at the border, fleeing virus-devastated economies, migrants are traveling long distances to reach the United States and then walking through gaps in the border wall.
[00:03:11]  The Arizona desert has become a favorite crossing point.
[00:03:14]  Now, this show is largely based in Phoenix, Arizona, holding it down in the southwest.
[00:03:21]  I am personally based in California, although we travel so much for this job, it feels like we live sort of everywhere half the time.
[00:03:30]  So this is how the reporting starts.
[00:03:33]  Standing by the hulking border wall, a U.S. Border Patrol agent watched as a car dropped off passengers at the edge of a road on the Mexican side.
[00:03:43]  Oh no, he muttered.
[00:03:45]  Here come some more.
[00:03:47]  In the next hours, dozens of people would descend a bare hellock, pass a puddle where the Colorado River trickles, and without fanfare, pass through a gap in the Rust Beam barrier that soars between the United States and Mexico.
[00:04:00]  They had completed the final leg of journeys that begun weeks or months earlier in Brazil, Cuba, India, and Venezuela.
[00:04:08]  So these migrants are coming from, and really they're illegal immigrants.
[00:04:12]  Let's just be honest.
[00:04:13]  They're emboldened by the Biden administration to make journeys all this way from far-flung reaches of the globe because they know that when they get in here, we're going to accept them.
[00:04:25]  Now, this problem is only growing.
[00:04:30]  This is just a new little wrinkle in it of a story that we've covered here extensively on the Charlie Kirk Show.
[00:04:35]  And frankly, we get sick of covering it because it's the same old story every day.
[00:04:39]  It's like, well, people are streaming in illegally at the southern border, and Joe Biden and his administration refused to call it a crisis.
[00:04:45]  Okay, next story.
[00:04:47]  What else don't we know?
[00:04:48]  When you incentivize poor behavior, guess what you're going to get?
[00:04:51]  You're going to get a lot of that poor behavior.
[00:04:52]  You're going to get more of that poor behavior.
[00:04:54]  And that's what we have at our southern border.
[00:04:56]  President Trump rightly condemned it.
[00:04:59]  He stood up against it.
[00:05:00]  He talked tough, and people thought he was mean.
[00:05:02]  And they condemned him as a member of the 1930 National Socialist Workers' Party in Germany because of it.
[00:05:11]  But guess what?
[00:05:12]  Crossings went down.
[00:05:13]  Yes, we were aided in 2020 by a pandemic where people stopped traveling from all over the world, right?
[00:05:20]  But it was largely controlled, and people knew that if they were going to attempt to cross, that the border patrol was serious, they meant business, and then you were going to probably stay on the Mexico side of the border with the MPP, Remain in Mexico policy that Joe Biden and his administration scrapped because it made far too much sense.
[00:05:41]  So they couldn't have something that made that much sense stand because Orange Man bad and we must overturn it.
[00:05:47]  So in April alone, 178,622 people were encountered by Border Patrol.
[00:05:52]  That's the highest number in 20 years, by the way.
[00:05:58]  And yes, most of them are from the Northern Triangle, Central America.
[00:06:01]  They say they're fleeing gang violence and natural disasters.
[00:06:04]  Now, folks, this is true.
[00:06:06]  None of it's made up.
[00:06:10]  I think these migrants, these illegal immigrants, they know that they're going to, in order to game the system, they have to gin up sympathy in the American public.
[00:06:17]  So they tell these stories.
[00:06:18]  They're coached on how to cross the border.
[00:06:21]  But yes, gang violence is real.
[00:06:22]  I mean, I live in California.
[00:06:24]  I talk to Hispanic immigrants, many of them illegal, some of them legal.
[00:06:28]  And they tell me, I mean, listen, the stories are harrowing.
[00:06:31]  I feel for them on a personal level.
[00:06:33]  But there's one thing to feel bad for an immigrant on a personal level.
[00:06:36]  It's quite another thing to feel like you want your whole country to be gamed and taken advantage of by people who know that you're going to be soft on immigration.
[00:06:44]  But the past few months, and this is where the wrinkle comes in, we've been hearing reports in India that there's this strain and that people are dying and dead bodies are floating down rivers and the government is grappling with how to get control of this.
[00:06:57]  There was just a new story that just broke a few minutes ago where I saw it was the Biden administration is going to be sending 20 million doses of the vaccine abroad to different countries that need it, partly because a lot of folks in our own country refused to take it.
[00:07:10]  We can get into that in just a little while.
[00:07:13]  But now they're saying that there is 30% of all families encountered along the border in April hailed from countries other than Mexico and Central America.
[00:07:26]  That's compared to just 7.5% in April of 2019.
[00:07:29]  But to be perfectly honest, I didn't even know it was 7.5% in April 2019.
[00:07:32]  We've heard rumors that there was terrorists trying to cross the border, and we were always told that we were making much ado about nothing and that we were trying to weaponize the plight of these poor migrants.
[00:07:44]  They're illegal immigrants, folks.
[00:07:46]  Don't let them change the language.
[00:07:47]  Don't let them play that game with you.
[00:07:49]  They're illegals, illegal immigrants.
[00:07:52]  You want to come into this country, you do it legally.
[00:07:55]  My personal opinion that we should have far fewer legal immigrants, but I digress.
[00:08:01]  But if you're not coming legally, you're doing it illegally.
[00:08:06]  So agents have stopped people from more than 160 countries.
[00:08:15]  And according to this report from the New York Times, the geography coincides with the path of the virus's worst devastation.
[00:08:21]  Okay.
[00:08:22]  So 4,000 Brazilians were intercepted.
[00:08:27]  4,000 Brazilians.
[00:08:29]  It's incredible.
[00:08:30]  3,500 Venezuelans.
[00:08:33]  And this was up from 300 in January.
[00:08:40]  And people are expecting this number to only go up.
[00:08:44]  So this is actually really interesting.
[00:08:46]  So if you're coming from India, you're probably elsewhere in Asia that's getting hit hard.
[00:08:52]  The journey to get to the United States is harrowing.
[00:08:56]  It's really not easy to get here.
[00:08:57]  You almost have to say, these people are incredibly motivated.
[00:09:00]  Hat tip to you for gaming the system.
[00:09:02]  It's really on us for allowing it to be gamed.
[00:09:06]  But these people are taking, so they leave, they take a bus out of their hometown to a big city.
[00:09:11]  They go to somewhere like Mumbai.
[00:09:14]  They board a plane to Dubai.
[00:09:16]  And then they fly to Moscow because they'll let them in.
[00:09:19]  And then from Moscow, it's sort of like the bridge to the Western worlds.
[00:09:23]  Then you'll fly to Madrid.
[00:09:24]  And then from Madrid, you'll fly to Mexico City.
[00:09:26]  Then you'll take a two-day bus trip up to the border.
[00:09:29]  Find a place where the gap exists in the wall, and you'll walk across it.
[00:09:35]  I mean, that's a heck of a journey to go on.
[00:09:40]  So the asylum law grants protection to those suffering persecution on account of their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
[00:09:53]  So this creates a whole different challenge of how do you deal with these people?
[00:09:57]  Do you just fly them back to Mumbai when they're claiming that their country's been devastated by the pandemic?
[00:10:04]  Well, of course not.
[00:10:05]  Joe Biden's a nice guy.
[00:10:06]  He's not going to hurt any of these people.
[00:10:08]  He's not a mean tweeter.
[00:10:11]  So Joe Biden, there's another report that just said that he sent $2 billion that was supposed to be used against the coronavirus.
[00:10:19]  $2 billion is now being shuffled around in an accounting to handle the surge in migrants and to move people to different facilities, apparently.
[00:10:31]  Lord knows it's not being used for securing the actual border.
[00:10:35]  It's just being used to deal with all the people that are coming across these gaping holes in the border wall.
[00:10:42]  Did you know that over 80% of the population is deficient in magnesium, and magnesium is a number one mineral to fight stress, fatigue, and sleep issues?
[00:10:48]  My work schedule has been rather hectic lately, and I'm noticing it's starting to wear me down, even when I'm getting all my workouts in.
[00:10:54]  And in fact, I still feel like I'm stressed.
[00:10:56]  That's why I'm excited to share with you more about a magnesium product I discovered.
[00:11:01]  Magnesium powers over 600 critical reactors in our bodies, but don't just grab any magnesium pill.
[00:11:06]  The one I recommend is magnesium breakthrough because it combines all seven essential forms of magnesium into one convenient supplement.
[00:11:13]  Most magnesium supplements fail because they're not synthetic.
[00:11:16]  They fail because they are synthetic and they're not full spectrum.
[00:11:19]  When you get all seven critical forms of magnesium, pretty much every function in your body gets upgraded.
[00:11:23]  With one more simple action, you reverse your magnesium deficiency, fight fatigue, feel more at ease, feel less anxious.
[00:11:28]  This is by far the most complete magnesium product ever created, and I highly recommend it.

[00:11:54]  I want to talk about something here that I think.
[00:11:57]  Well, first, just one small note.
[00:12:00]  And I say this, it's a little bit of hope out there, a little bit of hope that the wokes haven't completely taken over everything in the Democrat Party.
[00:12:08]  But these stories are all connected, and I'm going to tie it all together.
[00:12:12]  But just really quick, the U.S. has approved a $735 million weapon sale to Israel per a new report.
[00:12:19]  So, this is President Joe Biden's administration has approved the sale of $735 million in weapons to Israel as the nation continues to battle barrage rockets fired by the terrorist organization Hamas from Gaza.
[00:12:32]  This is from the American military news.
[00:12:35]  So, Congress, according to law, has to be notified about this.
[00:12:38]  So, they were notified of the potential sale on May 5th.
[00:12:42]  And basically, liberal heads are exploding, as you can imagine.
[00:12:51]  A couple of comments here coming out of the House.
[00:12:53]  A Democrat lawmaker on the House of Foreign Affairs Committee, unnamed, said, In the past week, the Israeli military strikes have killed many civilians and destroyed the buildings that housed the Associated Press, an American company reporting on the facts in Gaza.
[00:13:06]  Well, we've already debunked that.
[00:13:09]  It did, in fact, destroy that building, but they were warned before to evacuate.
[00:13:15]  And meanwhile, the AP probably knew that they were sharing a building with Hamas.
[00:13:20]  Okay.
[00:13:21]  Allowing this proposed sale of smart bombs to go through without putting pressure on Israel to agree to a ceasefire will only enable further carnage.
[00:13:33]  So, lawmakers have 15 days to object with a non-binding resolution of disapproval.
[00:13:40]  The bulk of the proposed sale is of joint direct attack munitions or JDAMs kits to transform so-called dumb bombs into precision guided missiles.
[00:13:55]  So, what's interesting here, and this is why I say you got to have a little bit of hope that the wokes aren't completely taking over the institutions of our government.
[00:14:07]  But former President Donald Trump vetoed three resolutions passed by Congress in 2019 to stop arms sales, benefiting Saudi Arabia and the United Emirates after the House and Senate voted to block the arms deal with more worth more than $8 billion.
[00:14:20]  So, this is we're talking about this back and forth where the executive branch, the president, is able to agree to these arms sales with places like Israel.
[00:14:29]  The House has 15 days to essentially reject or contest the sale, but this is going to go through.
[00:14:42]  We're lucky to catch this weapon sale.
[00:14:44]  A Democratic aide who works on the committee told Power Up.
[00:14:47]  There's zero transparency on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and sensitive deals are regularly approved without scrutiny.
[00:14:53]  There's truth to the notion that there's a major shift in the party about how we rubber stamp Israel writ large, a Democrat Senate aide told Power Up.
[00:15:02]  The aide added that it's unlikely a debate over the sale will ultimately result in a resolution of disapproval from Congress.
[00:15:07]  So, this is going to go through.
[00:15:08]  But what we're seeing is that, listen to this quote again.
[00:15:11]  There's a truth in the notion that there's major shifts in the party about how we rubber stamp Israel writ large.
[00:15:16]  Okay, so what they're saying is like, hey, you might get away with this one time to help Israel defend itself, but change is coming.
[00:15:24]  Got the squad on it.
[00:15:26]  We got Corey Bush, who's basically a member of the squad.
[00:15:30]  The radicals are coming for it.
[00:15:32]  And guess what?
[00:15:33]  The media loves the radical narrative.
[00:15:35]  The media, even though it's supposed to be neutral like the AP, is not neutral.
[00:15:42]  They are going to continue spinning a narrative that Israel is an apartheid state engaged in ethnic cleansing on a terrible level that we've never seen except for in America because America is just as racist.
[00:15:56]  We're built on racism.
[00:15:57]  This is what they want us to believe.
[00:15:59]  And so these types of arms sales are going to make their heads explode, and we have not seen the last of this yet.
[00:16:07]  Look, by now, you've all heard me talk about my pillow and how Mike has done it again by introducing his MySlippers.
[00:16:13]  Mike Lindell, he's got a lot of ambition.
[00:16:17]  He's a patriot.
[00:16:18]  He loves his country.
[00:16:19]  A lot of people like Mike Lindell.
[00:16:20]  In fact, I get emails from people.
[00:16:22]  They say, Charlie, how can I help you?
[00:16:23]  How can I help Mike Lindell?
[00:16:25]  How can I help the country?
[00:16:26]  Well, if you go to mypillow.com and buy anything with the promo code Kirk, it helps both of us.
[00:16:32]  That's right.

[00:17:02]  So this is the story that I've been hinting at.
[00:17:05]  I wanted to cover this because when I first read it, I was, let's just say, I was irritated.
[00:17:11]  I was frustrated.
[00:17:12]  I was angry.
[00:17:13]  Air Force Lieutenant Colonel fired after remarks about Marxism, critical race theory spreading in the military.
[00:17:19]  Now, I'm going to get into some of the things he said, and I'm going to explain why what he's saying is completely right and accurate.
[00:17:25]  And everybody in this audience is probably going to know that.
[00:17:29]  But I'm also going to defend the military here in some of their actions, which might surprise you.
[00:17:34]  It's a little unusual take, but I think it's important to explain the role of the military.
[00:17:40]  Okay, so a United States Air Force Lieutenant Colonel was fired from his command at Space Force after he gave interviews about his new book in which he said Marxism and critical race theory are spreading in the military.
[00:17:53]  Now, we, of course, understand that that's true.
[00:17:57]  We've seen report after report that details how the military is getting taken over by wokesters.
[00:18:06]  And something you'll hear us say on this show often is this phrase, the long march through the institutions.
[00:18:13]  The Marxists knew that their revolution was not going to be complete overnight.
[00:18:18]  They intended on a slow and long and deliberate march through our institutions.
[00:18:24]  Now, one institution that we thought would never fall, and I'm not going to say it has fallen, and it hasn't.
[00:18:30]  I know too many good people in it, but there is certainly pressure on high from the Biden administration, which has completely given into wokeism.
[00:18:37]  Maybe they haven't a little bit on Israel.
[00:18:39]  Thankfully, they're still backing Israel, at least in lip service.
[00:18:45]  But we never thought the military was going to fall, and I don't think it has, but there is pressure.
[00:18:50]  There is disturbing pressure, and certain power, certain powers that be within the military certainly have fallen.
[00:19:00]  So this guy's name is General Stephen Whiting.
[00:19:03]  He's the head of Space Operations Commander Was.
[00:19:06]  Oh, sorry, I take that back.
[00:19:08]  This is who fired Lieutenant Colonel Matthew Lomier from his post as commander of the 11th Space Warning Squadron at Buckley Air Force Base in Colorado.
[00:19:16]  So what happened is he gave two interviews on podcasts about his book, Irresistible Revolution, Marxism's Goal of Conquest and the Unmaking of the American Military.
[00:19:28]  So he's an Air Force grad, by the way.
[00:19:30]  Very accomplished, it seems, in his career.
[00:19:33]  Very smart, by the way.
[00:19:34]  His take on cultural Marxism and critical race theory is very rooted in truth.
[00:19:40]  He says, our diversity, inclusion, and equity industry and the trainings we received in the military are rooted in critical race theory.
[00:19:47]  The language of the training, which most people don't understand, but I help lay out in the book, was devised by Marxists.
[00:19:54]  It's intended to be divisive, and yet we spread it about the military services pretending it's going to unify everybody.
[00:20:00]  Amen, bravo.
[00:20:03]  I completely agree.
[00:20:06]  So he said that we complimented the Air Force, and I'll do the same and Space Force senior leaders, but he said, especially because of the climate at the moment, people that sense that something is off with all the diversity inclusion trainings and the language and the coerced speech.
[00:20:20]  It's a great phrase, by the way.
[00:20:22]  Coerced speech.
[00:20:24]  This is the left's main arrow in their quiver.
[00:20:28]  They coerce speech.
[00:20:30]  They use bullying and intimidation.
[00:20:33]  And they virtue signal.
[00:20:34]  And then they tell you that you're a terrible person when you don't want a virtue signal.
[00:20:37]  This goes back to the black squares on Instagram and social media after the George Floyd incident.
[00:20:44]  They said, ah, why didn't you put a black square?
[00:20:46]  I mean, celebrities are getting canceled if they didn't put a black square on their social media page.
[00:20:50]  And frankly, our show saw it right from the beginning.
[00:20:52]  We called it out.
[00:20:54]  We've never looked back, by the way.
[00:20:56]  Our show in that time grew leaps and bounds because people were so hungry for somebody who wasn't willing to get steamrolled by this woke nonsense, this critical race theory nonsense that America is a white supremacist nation.
[00:21:07]  It's all ridiculous.
[00:21:08]  America is the single most generous, benevolent, accepting nation on the history of planet Earth.
[00:21:16]  We are exceptional when it comes to this.
[00:21:19]  Have we been perfect?
[00:21:20]  Of course we haven't been perfect, but we are nevertheless exceptional.
[00:21:23]  The rule in human history is racism.
[00:21:26]  The rule in human history is the selling of slaves, indentured servitude.
[00:21:32]  The rule of the world throughout history has been classism, deep entrenched classism.
[00:21:38]  And America broke out of so much of all of that when she was founded.
[00:21:42]  Now, we took 150 years to experiment before the Declaration of Independence, from the first landings of the settlers in Plymouth Rock and beyond to the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
[00:21:56]  There was a nation that was forming without all the binds that had trapped Europeans in this classism and this old way of doing things.
[00:22:06]  And we brought it over without an established aristocracy.
[00:22:09]  And we found a way to create the most beautiful country, the most beautiful political experiment ever to grace the face of the world.
[00:22:19]  And so I go into that because it's important that we say again and again and again that America is not a racist place.
[00:22:24]  America is an accepting place.
[00:22:26]  America is a place in theory where the rule of law should still stand, regardless of the color of your skin.
[00:22:32]  That's an arco-tyranny when it doesn't.
[00:22:36]  When they apply a rule of law differently to different subgroups, based on you're a victim and you're not a victim, that's anarcho-tyranny.
[00:22:46]  We don't want that.
[00:22:47]  And we don't want different standards in the military based on the color of your skin.
[00:22:55]  So what this very well-intentioned person, I think, was doing, Lomier.
[00:23:03]  I think he knew that what he was saying was going to be understood as a direct slight against the leadership of the Air Force and the Space Force.
[00:23:11]  I think he knew he was taking the future of his career into his own hands.
[00:23:16]  And he knew that he was potentially going to face repercussions for this book because it's not just the military.
[00:23:23]  It's any big business.
[00:23:25]  It's any big bureaucracy.
[00:23:27]  It's any government.
[00:23:28]  If you're going to publish a book, there's usually a standard protocol that you need to follow to get the book approved.
[00:23:37]  You need to get it read so that there's nothing confidential, that there's this or that.
[00:23:42]  I'm hearing from some sources that he did not do that.
[00:23:45]  I think that he knew that he was going to be coming head-to-head with the powers that be in the military, fighting coerced speech, fighting critical race theory, fighting this diversity and equity garbage.
[00:24:01]  And I think he was willing to take that risk because probably for a couple of reasons.
[00:24:04]  One, it's really good PR.
[00:24:06]  Look, we're all talking about it.
[00:24:08]  I can guarantee that a lot more people are talking and buying his book than previously.
[00:24:13]  It has the benefit of being right.
[00:24:17]  It's all true.
[00:24:19]  He's on the right side of this issue completely.
[00:24:22]  And what he's saying, and I think some of the details are in some of these throwaway lines that most people aren't going to circle in on and focus on, says they're unwilling, he's talking about the leadership, they're unwilling to take a stand against it because they fear perhaps they might be in the wrong or they might not get promoted.
[00:24:40]  We spend a lot of time talking about great power competitions, but we faced our greatest threat here at home.
[00:24:49]  And he specifically takes aim, and I think this is probably why he got fired, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to discuss extremism with his troops.
[00:24:58]  He said the training materials began with a vignette about the January 6th Capitol breach.
[00:25:02]  Quote, that context painted the entire discussion and all the talking points.
[00:25:09]  He said that all the examples that were given in the training did not mention riots during the summer of 2020, but only had to do with the various odd examples of white nationalists that have been caught at some point in the last decade and had been punished for it and kicked out of the military or a radical Islamic terrorist.
[00:25:27]  So he tried to say that, you know, I don't believe that they have ill motives, but here's what's happening.
[00:25:32]  Here's what's happening.
[00:25:32]  So he tried to kind of hedge, but here's what's happening.
[00:25:34]  You got the right that's saying the great purge of our institutions, the military, the Woaesters have taken over, all hell's breaking loose.
[00:25:41]  And then you got Lloyd Austin and his ilk basically saying, well, the military needs to be more diverse.
[00:25:47]  We need to care about equity.
[00:25:50]  This isn't hyper-politicization of the military.
[00:25:52]  This is just diversity and inclusion.
[00:25:56]  And I think the truth is somewhere in between.
[00:25:58]  I think the truth is that this guy, Lomier, is absolutely right.
[00:26:03]  Critical race theory has no business in our military.
[00:26:06]  We must be a fighting force that can establish peace, both domestically and internationally, through strength.
[00:26:14]  We have to be the best fighting force on the planet.
[00:26:17]  We don't have to be the most equitable or diverse, any of these other things.
[00:26:20]  Hopefully all that stuff happens and there is opportunity for all.
[00:26:23]  And it really is true, by the way.
[00:26:25]  Our military is already massively diverse.
[00:26:31]  But it's not this critical race theory does, he's absolutely right in his take.
[00:26:36]  It doesn't belong in the military, but at the same time, he has to abide by a certain chain of command protocols and he can't be openly criticizing the military.
[00:26:47]  So I was calling a couple of my sources on this and they said, you know what?
[00:26:51]  I would have canned him too.
[00:26:52]  Totally agree with what he had to say, but you can't be doing that in a public way to promote your book when you're in leadership and at this high level of leadership in the U.S. military.
[00:27:03]  So, so anyways, Brian, and by the way, I think this guy might be a hero.
[00:27:09]  I think that if you end up losing your career, if you end up drawing all this attention to yourself, I mean, I'd love to have him on our show.
[00:27:17]  In fact, we might reach out to him.
[00:27:20]  I mean, if you do all of this, warning about Marxism, infiltrating the military, not only are you right, but you just found an ingenious way to bring a lot of attention to it.
[00:27:30]  And by the way, you're the sympathetic figure in this because you got canned for speaking your mind.
[00:27:36]  Most people don't really fully understand the chain of command issues and the keeping politics out of the military.
[00:27:45]  Now, you might say, but he didn't bring politics into the military.
[00:27:48]  He was just saying Marxism was bad.
[00:27:50]  And that was my take, too.
[00:27:51]  I actually sort of agree with that.
[00:27:53]  Marxism should not be, it should be apolitical in the United States of America.
[00:27:57]  You should not be considered partisan for attacking Marxism.
[00:28:01]  But the problem is that the Democrats have found a very the Marxism has found a very, very friendly home in the Democratic Party.
[00:28:08]  And we all know that's true.
[00:28:10]  Nevertheless, he openly criticized directives that were coming from on high.
[00:28:17]  He has attacked some of the training.
[00:28:20]  So my take is a little bit unique.
[00:28:24]  Now, God willing, Joe Biden and the Democrats will be out of power soon enough.
[00:28:30]  And if that happens, then we will also be in charge of the military, once again, the conservatives.
[00:28:38]  And it's important that the military stays apolitical.
[00:28:41]  It really is.
[00:28:42]  Now, I salute this guy for calling it out.
[00:28:44]  I hope that this affects a lot of really good change.
[00:28:46]  But at the end of the day, our military has to remain one of those institutions that's sacred.
[00:28:51]  I hope it does.
[00:28:52]  We'll see.
[00:28:55]  In 1857, the SS Central, also known as the Gold Ship, sank with 9.1 tons of gold on board, valued at $2.1 million.
[00:29:03]  That is the modern-day equivalent to hundreds of millions of dollars, the greatest American treasure ever discovered at sea.
[00:29:09]  Today, Noble Gold, a California-based company with a pristine reputation, has a share of these coins available to their clients.
[00:29:15]  Over 7,000 gold coins, mostly $1, $5, and $20 gold coins from 1840, 1857, were recovered from the SS Central America shipwreck.
[00:29:24]  Most of these coins were from the ship of gold, were quickly acquired by private collectors when the coins were first brought to the market in 2000.
[00:29:31]  Now, Noble Gold's clients can get this unforgettable part of American history at a fair, affordable valuation.

[00:29:56]  So, the update on the audit, a lot of folks in our audience are really, really curious about this.
[00:30:01]  That we get a lot of emails about this.
[00:30:03]  We probably get the most emails about critical race theory and the audits.
[00:30:06]  But just so you guys know, what's going on is there's a couple main irregularities that have been reported.
[00:30:11]  Okay.
[00:30:12]  One is that the ballot boxes that get this box of ballots, and I've talked to some folks about it.
[00:30:18]  So I got a little intel here.
[00:30:20]  You get a box of ballots, and it says on a little slip of paper, you got 250 ballots.
[00:30:24]  Well, when they count it, you might have 220, or you might have 210, or in one instance that I've seen, they had too many ballots.
[00:30:33]  So there's raising massive questions about where all these ballots have gone.
[00:30:38]  Why is there discrepancies in the slip that's supposed to tell you versus what's in the box?
[00:30:43]  Now, I'm hearing that all of this could be handled on the backside.
[00:30:48]  You might see this reconciled when you count all of the ballots.
[00:30:51]  Maybe the ballots ended up in a different box.
[00:30:53]  They're about 30% of the way through.
[00:30:55]  They were supposed to be done by now, but what I'm hearing is that the process has been extended simply because there's been a thousand different loose ends that they've now realized that they have to chase down and take care of.
[00:31:07]  Because this is just, there's a lot more here than I think even they realized.
[00:31:12]  So they keep looking into these boxes.
[00:31:14]  They keep looking into how many ballots are in the boxes.
[00:31:17]  They don't line up yet.
[00:31:18]  Okay.
[00:31:18]  30% done.
[00:31:19]  We'll find out if they reconcile.
[00:31:21]  Okay.
[00:31:22]  So this is Karen Fann said that in a letter she wrote to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors that there are serious issues that have arisen in the course of the Senate's ongoing audit of the returns of the November 3rd, 2020 election in Maricopa County.
[00:31:36]  So, there's also the other issues.
[00:31:38]  So, we've got the ballot boxes not lining up with the slips.
[00:31:41]  And then we've got the fact that the county is not abiding by the subpoena.
[00:31:45]  So, they are not complying with the subpoena that the state sent of the state senate in pursuit of the audit.
[00:31:50]  So, they've refused to hand over numerous routers covered by that subpoena.
[00:31:55]  Now, they're saying that it's a security issue both for local and federal law enforcement, that they are used for multiple public departments outside of election management, and that they can't give the auditors access to that hardware.
[00:32:05]  So, Fan in the letter proposed that they could do a virtual review virtual images of the relevant routers in the presence of Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
[00:32:15]  That seems like a legitimate workaround.
[00:32:19]  They're denying that, okay?
[00:32:20]  And then there are the again the storage issues, and then there is furthermore, there's oh, this is the big one: the deletion of the entire database from a county election machine.
[00:32:33]  Now, again, I don't want to jump to conclusions, I think you could make too much out of this, folks, but that's a big one: this deletion of the database.
[00:32:40]  So, you want to track this story.
[00:32:42]  We're going to be covering it more in the week ahead, and maybe the weeks ahead, but there's going to be more and more from this Arizona audit.
[00:32:50]  All right, everybody, thank you so much for listening in.
