The Charlie Kirk Show - The Student Swindle with Steve Bannon Aired: 2022-08-25 Duration: 39:08 === College Scam Exposed (02:10) === [00:00:00] Jack Kozovic in for Charlie Kirk. [00:00:01] Huge show. [00:00:02] Make sure you listen to every minute of this. [00:00:04] We've got Steve Bannon on responding to the inflationary Biden deposit for these student loans from the college scam to the student swindle. [00:00:15] We then bring on Rick Sterl, the founder of the National Coalition of Frontline Workers, how we're fighting back against these mandates being placed on our frontline heroes. [00:00:25] Charlie, what you've done is incredible here. [00:00:26] Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses. [00:00:28] I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk. [00:00:32] Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. [00:00:35] I want to thank Charlie. [00:00:36] He's an incredible guy. [00:00:37] His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created. [00:00:44] Turning point USA. [00:00:46] 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. [00:00:54] That's why we are here. [00:00:57] Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com. [00:01:07] Out with student debt to go. [00:01:10] Here's where you want if you're worried about how to do it. [00:01:13] Go to pslf.gov before October 31st to see if you qualify for public service student loan forgiveness. [00:01:25] Colleges aren't refunding any of the loan money. [00:01:28] You are. [00:01:30] You are. [00:01:30] But wait, you say, I didn't defraud anyone. [00:01:34] I didn't claim that a degree in post-colonial liberation studies from Wesleyan would be worth anything. [00:01:40] I didn't take 80 grand a year from middle-class families in order to turn their children into Xanax addicted robots with no job prospects. [00:01:47] Well, no, you didn't do any of that, but you're paying reparations anyway. [00:01:52] How much does this cost? [00:01:54] You know, the projections are still coming out depending on how many people take advantage of it. [00:01:59] But let me remind folks in about three months. [00:02:03] What's the range of possibilities? [00:02:05] Well, like I said, those projections are still coming out based on how many people take advantage of it. === Loan Fraud Allegations (02:56) === [00:02:10] How will this be paid for? [00:02:11] Look, the president has been very clear about reducing the deficit. [00:02:17] We are witnessing, and not just since this summer, but over the past few years, the end of what we might have seen as abundance. [00:02:25] And for those who enjoyed it, it is also the end of a carefree time. [00:02:28] The mother-daughter duo opened up about the legal trivia contest with criminal justice reform advocate Kim Kardashian that proved particularly humbling for one of them. [00:02:38] Was it humbling to lose that contest to her secretary? [00:02:41] Oh, it was heartbreaking. [00:02:42] Oh my gosh. [00:02:43] But I think it's also just easy to work on her reaction time, Sandra. [00:02:46] It was like sometimes I could see my mom knew what the answer was, but she wouldn't hit the buzzer in time. [00:02:50] Well, I was also really intrigued by how well she did. [00:02:53] I wanted to, you know, put the spotlight on her. [00:02:56] You know, only if it's oversight, because what I experienced was personal attacks. [00:03:02] I will go if it's true. [00:03:04] You, Dr. Fauci. [00:03:05] You don't get to say whether you go. [00:03:06] You get a congressional subpoena, you show up, or you get the Steve Bannon treatment. [00:03:10] And I'm just sick of seeing him. [00:03:11] I know he says he's going to retire. [00:03:13] Someone needs to grab that little elf and chuck him across the potomac. [00:03:19] Jack Posobiec here, coming in hot. [00:03:23] The Charlie Kirk show guest hosting again. [00:03:26] And I want to bring on now, we've got Steve Bannon, the host of the war room. [00:03:30] Steve, Megan Kelly, we just ended that there. [00:03:33] She was talking about giving Fauci the Steve Bannon treatment. [00:03:36] What does she mean by that? [00:03:37] Wow, that's my girlfriend, Megan Kelly. [00:03:40] I actually put that up on Getter. [00:03:41] By the way, I want to give a compliment. [00:03:43] The Charlie Kirk show, you guys almost had the cold opens. [00:03:46] My team's got to get on point. [00:03:47] I just saw this. [00:03:48] These cold opens are pretty good. [00:03:50] You're connecting many dots there with like 10 different ones. [00:03:53] So Cameron and the squad here have got to take their game up a notch on the morning. [00:03:59] That was a brilliant cold opening. [00:04:00] It really teed it up. [00:04:02] Megan Kelly, I think she's throwing it down to say, Hey, Fauci, you know, says, remember, Fauci said, oversight's good, and I think oversight's necessary. [00:04:09] But if they start getting personal, I don't know if I'm going to participate. [00:04:13] And I think Megan Kelly was just laying out, hey, bro, you're not going to have a choice to do it. [00:04:19] They're going to throw, you know, Nancy Pelosi wants to throw Bannon in prison. [00:04:22] So you're going to have to, what's good for the goose may be better for the gander. [00:04:26] Yeah, I think what they've done there is they've moved the chains on this and they said, if we're going to do subpoenas and select committees, you've talked about this before. [00:04:34] What's this idea? [00:04:35] Every committee should be an oversight committee. [00:04:38] What does that mean? [00:04:39] This is the first time Gates talked about it a year ago. [00:04:42] Every committee's got to drill down. [00:04:44] It's got to be an investigative committee. [00:04:46] The Trump term in 24 really starts in January. [00:04:49] We get a six-year presidency. [00:04:51] You start by hammering them. [00:04:54] Investigate, litigate, incarcerate. [00:04:56] This should be at every part of the administrative state. [00:04:58] This is where we go in hard, going hot, and start taking this thing apart. [00:05:02] Every day is going to be Stalingrad as they try to protect the administrative state. === Targeting The Working Class (15:22) === [00:05:06] Oh, 100%. [00:05:07] And Steve, we've got here, by the way, the book, The College Scam, by Charlie Kirk, collegescam.com. [00:05:12] Charlie called the shot. [00:05:14] And I think that you were talking about that on War Room today. [00:05:16] Steve, thanks so much for joining us. [00:05:18] But I wanted to read something that Charlie wrote in this book. [00:05:21] I'm actually going to read directly from the book. [00:05:22] They say never read from a book on air, but I'm doing it. [00:05:25] They said, listen to this, listen to this here. [00:05:27] The obscene cost of a diploma. [00:05:31] And where do we want to go? [00:05:32] We're going to go right here. [00:05:33] People 65 and older account for a growing share of U.S. bankruptcy filers according to the Consumer Bankruptcy Project. [00:05:42] However, unlike most consumer loans, student debt is rarely dischargeable in bankruptcy. [00:05:48] Take special note of that last line. [00:05:51] Student debt is rarely dischargeable in bankruptcy. [00:05:54] Car loans, credit card debt, even gambling losses, we talked about Dave Portnoy yesterday, they can be dischargeable. [00:06:00] But by law, you are saddled with student loan debt for as long as it takes. [00:06:06] You say there's no collateral, the collateral is you. [00:06:09] Stephen Cambadin, host of the war room. [00:06:11] I want you to respond to that. [00:06:12] What is this system that we've set up to put these young people into? [00:06:18] Listen, I think, you know, Cortez and I were talking about this morning. [00:06:21] I think the bulk of this is graduate school loans. [00:06:24] This is all about indoctrination. [00:06:26] This is all about the tenure of these radical cultural Marxist professors. [00:06:30] Remember, if you look around the country, particularly Trump's win in 2016 and 2020, the entire country looks like a red map, Jack, except you've got on the coast, the areas of blue. [00:06:41] Then you got these blue dots all around the countries. [00:06:43] That's Austin, Texas, right? [00:06:45] It's Charlottesville, Virginia. [00:06:47] All the great, you know, it's Tucson, Arizona. [00:06:51] It is around even in the South, right? [00:06:53] Where you have these centers where universities that have become hotbeds of cultural Marxism. [00:07:00] This is where the woke ideology is taught and people are indoctrinated. [00:07:04] And now they're asking working class people in this country, two-thirds of which don't have college degrees, to pay and underwrite the graduate degrees of people that can't have jobs. [00:07:14] They're in gender studies. [00:07:16] They're in, you know, some sort of racial studies. [00:07:20] They're not in productive engineering, computer science. [00:07:23] They're not in things that can add to a productive society. [00:07:25] Therefore, they don't have the money to pay it back. [00:07:27] And they want somebody to bail them out. [00:07:29] Lawrence Tribe at Harvard University tweeted out yesterday. [00:07:33] This is not Gateway Pundit. [00:07:35] This is not Human Events Daily. [00:07:38] This is not Real America's Voice. [00:07:39] This is Lawrence Tribe, the senior faculty member at Harvard Law School, tweeted out immediately and says, I want to thank Joe Biden for all my students who are getting their debt wiped out. [00:07:50] And this just goes to show you, working class people in this country should not be underwriting the radical indoctrination into wokeism at the Ivy League schools and at these universities. [00:08:00] This is an outrage. [00:08:01] It's obviously vote buying. [00:08:03] And I got to tell you, if African-American and Hispanic working class and middle class people, if you continue to vote for Democrats, you're going to continue to get screwed. [00:08:12] Because all they're doing right now with, you know, with the tsunami of 20 million households not able to pay their electric bill, with the car repossessions coming into all-time highs, with what, 5 million people being laid on their mortgage and their rent payments. [00:08:27] There's not a recession. [00:08:29] There's a depression right now among the working class in this country. [00:08:33] And on top of it, to add insult to injury, they're now going to have you. [00:08:36] Because remember, these debts don't go away. [00:08:38] They just get transferred and they're getting transferred to working class people in this country. [00:08:42] Well, it's an attack on working class values, too. [00:08:46] It's this idea that if you work hard, there was a guy who confronted Senator Warren about this up in New Hampshire when she was trying to run for president. [00:08:54] We saw that went over. [00:08:56] And she basically shrugged her shoulders at this guy and said, it doesn't matter. [00:09:01] And I do think, though, that the universities need to be held to account for this. [00:09:05] We've talked about CZ endowments. [00:09:07] You got hedge funds, Harvard, Yale, Princeton. [00:09:10] They got these hedge funds attached to the university. [00:09:12] The schooling, the education, quote unquote, that's all window dressing. [00:09:16] This is about the money. [00:09:17] And Steve, you know that better than any of us here. [00:09:20] But I do want to ask you. [00:09:22] The Harvard, hang on, the Harvard endowment, the Harvard endowment's $46 billion. [00:09:26] The Harvard endowment's $46 billion. [00:09:28] The business school, I think, has another $5 to $10 billion endowment. [00:09:32] They can allow everybody to go tuition-free. [00:09:35] If they wanted to, it would not be a problem. [00:09:36] Wouldn't be a problem. [00:09:38] But they still want working class people. [00:09:40] If they can have the political arm, their poke arm, the Democratic Party, force working class people to pay for it, they're going to do it. [00:09:46] They want the deplorables to pay for this. [00:09:49] They want the deplorables to pay for their own destruction. [00:09:51] Here's the heart of the asset that's in the system, Jack. [00:09:56] If you play by the rules, this is the message they're sending you. [00:09:58] If you work hard, if you play by the rules and you put your nose down and you grind away, you get a family, you pay your taxes, you send your sons and daughters into the military to fight on these foreign battlefields for these globalist policies, which they tell you is in defense of your country, but you're not defending the southern border. [00:10:17] If you play by the rules, you're a sucker. [00:10:19] That's what they're telling you. [00:10:20] You're a sucker. [00:10:21] Because we're going to get you to underwrite everything. [00:10:23] Look, I got the numbers right here from the team just sent it in, Producer Andrew. [00:10:27] $54 billion endowment for Harvard, Yale, $31, Stanford, 29, Princeton, $26 billion. [00:10:36] These are elite schools sitting on a gold mine, but the middle class is footing the bill for student loans. [00:10:42] So put a 5% return on that, tax-free, right? [00:10:47] Tax-deferred. [00:10:48] And they could pay for these loans themselves. [00:10:51] They don't need you. [00:10:53] The Biden administration is forcing it down your throat. [00:10:56] And quite frankly, if you're prepared to take it, then you get what you deserve. [00:11:00] And this is why this populist nationalist movement, and quite frankly, Charlie was ahead of this for years because Charlie Kirk understood exactly what the universities are turning to indoctrination centers for a vanguard of cultural Marxist elite. [00:11:13] No, collegescam.com. [00:11:15] But Steve, here's the problem: because I think this might actually work with a certain swath of younger voters because the Republicans have no credibility when it comes to reckless spending because they have been signing off and rubber stamping on a billion dollars a week overseas to fight in Ukraine, overseas to fight with whatever it is. [00:11:38] 65 billion, we're pretty sure the current number is. [00:11:41] That number is probably going to go up by the end of me speaking this sentence. [00:11:44] Steve, why is it that Republicans, because here's the message, right? [00:11:48] Here's the message that they're sending to young voters. [00:11:52] We won't give you anything, but we'll give money to people overseas. [00:11:56] And let me ask, when's Zelinsky going to pay back that debt? [00:12:00] Is there a plan to pay that back, or are we going to forgive that too? [00:12:03] And I think the voters know which one they're going to go with if those are the two choices. [00:12:08] We started with the Ukraine section today over the show with Harnwell and Rome, but we went to, we put up your tweet. [00:12:12] Your tweet, I think, said it said, hey, they're buying votes from the millennials with the write-off of the transfer of the debt. [00:12:19] But the Republicans are just giving it to the arms manufacturers and to the corporatists. [00:12:24] It's absolutely correct. [00:12:25] That's why we don't have enough populist nationalist policy. [00:12:28] This is the power of turning point. [00:12:30] This is the power of Real America's voice as a news platform. [00:12:34] We need to get not just Republicans, we need MAGA Republicans. [00:12:37] We need Trump Republicans and we need MAGA policies. [00:12:41] And right now, the increase in credit card debt in this country in the last quarter is $46 billion. [00:12:47] That's just one package we sent to Ukraine. [00:12:50] And yesterday, Biden announces another. [00:12:53] He transfers the debt to the working class of the elites, and then he announces a $3 billion package where Europe has not made, as you know, Jack, Europe has not made one new commitment to Ukraine since July. [00:13:06] Not one more commitment. [00:13:08] The only person shoveling money in is the United States in the escalatory process. [00:13:13] And Jack, as you know, we pointed at the Financial Times a month ago. [00:13:16] The arms are all getting washed back and transferred back to the gangs and the criminal element in Western Europe. [00:13:22] So this is why Macron sat there and says the end of abundance is the end of easy times. [00:13:28] And this is all driven by globalist policies. [00:13:32] All 100%, Steve. [00:13:33] By the way, folks, if we haven't mentioned it yet, Steve Bannon, myself, Charlie Kirk, September 16th, 17th, the Great Reset Conference, Phoenix, Arizona. [00:13:44] Go to reset.tpusa.com. [00:13:47] You go there right there. [00:13:48] You will be able to see all of us. [00:13:50] We're getting the team back together. [00:13:52] That's going to be right there, Phoenix, Arizona. [00:13:56] Was it reset.tpusa.com? [00:13:58] Steve, thank you so much for your leadership. [00:14:00] Thank you so much for doing these little handouts. [00:14:01] I like the handouts. [00:14:02] We should do more of this. [00:14:05] Are you like every one of us that thinks our country has gone nuts, whether it's Russia Gate market crashes or selling oil to China or this insane inflation? [00:14:14] Well, right now, you need a financial mind who understands your concerns, but at the same time has a Christian worldview of money. [00:14:20] That's why you should talk to my friends at PAX Financial Group. [00:14:24] Look, I've given my money to PAX Financial to manage. [00:14:26] If it's good enough for me, I think it's good for you. [00:14:28] Like all of us, they have concerns, but they also have hope. [00:14:31] In this market, you must have a financial person who shares your hope and at the same time can help you with biblical responsible investing, B-R-I, biblical, responsible investing. [00:14:41] That's why I want you to text the word Charlie to 74868. [00:14:46] That is Charlie to 74868 to connect with my friends at the PAX Financial Group. [00:14:52] Biblical responsible investing. [00:14:53] So take out your phone. [00:14:54] Just text Charlie to 74868. [00:14:57] That's 74868. [00:14:58] Text Charlie to connect with my great friends at the PAX Financial Group. [00:15:06] This far-right Christian conservative cell phone company has taken over four Texas school boards. [00:15:14] Okay, wait a minute. [00:15:15] So you're mad that Christians with cell phones have gotten elected to school boards? [00:15:22] That's in Texas, by the way. [00:15:25] This is news for some reason to them. [00:15:27] And it says, Patriot Mobile markets itself this way. [00:15:30] Now the Trump Alliance Company is on a mission to win control of Texas school boards. [00:15:35] And they're talking about that. [00:15:36] They go into Bannon. [00:15:37] They go into Glenn's story. [00:15:39] They talk about CPAC, the fact that they interviewed me at CPAC, and the fact that essentially it gets into these Moms for Liberty and the idea that Moms for Liberty is going to be working together to, by the way, do what they've always said they were going to do, run the schools the way they want it to be run. [00:16:01] So here's what I say to that. [00:16:02] I say, go to patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie right now. [00:16:07] And if you want to continue the work of Patriot Mobile, and by the way, sign up for a great cell phone provider, you get the same exact great service, but you know that your money isn't going to people who hate you, because that's the problem in this country. [00:16:23] We keep giving money to people who hate us. [00:16:25] We keep giving the cable subscriptions. [00:16:28] And then we're funding ESPN. [00:16:30] Then we're funding Disney. [00:16:31] Then we're funding all of these people that are using their money against us. [00:16:34] Stop doing it. [00:16:36] Support Patriot Mobile. [00:16:37] PatriotMobile.com/slash Charlie is the website. [00:16:41] You need to go there now. [00:16:42] Just go check it out. [00:16:43] Join the movement. [00:16:44] And in all seriousness, folks, we say, you know, they say, oh, do the, you know, do the ad, do the ad read for Patriot Mobile. [00:16:49] I say, I'll do the ad read. [00:16:50] But look, we say this so often that if, you know, if you support X company, if you support X sponsor, you help us, you keep the lights on, et cetera, et cetera. [00:16:58] And of course, and we love our sponsors and we're so happy that they're able to do that for us. [00:17:02] But I'm just telling you, Patriot Mobile has gone so far above and beyond in this fight. [00:17:08] And because they're getting actual traction out there in the real world right now. [00:17:13] I mean, this, I'm going through this NBC article. [00:17:16] They're losing their ever-loving minds. [00:17:18] This thing's got to be 5,000 words. [00:17:19] I don't even have time to read all of it. [00:17:21] Oh, and they've got this picture of me. [00:17:23] How dare they interview the pro-Trump Jack Poseovic at the Patriot Mobile booth at CPAC Dallas on August 4th? [00:17:31] No, no, this is terrible. [00:17:32] They've interviewed Psovic and they're talking to Bannon. [00:17:35] They're working with Charlie Kirk. [00:17:37] This is terrible. [00:17:38] This is the, you know, the worst. [00:17:40] And again, I love the fact that, and again, the website, patriotmobile.com/slash Charlie. [00:17:46] So they say, if you listen to NBC or listen to any of any of MSNBC lately, what do they talk about? [00:17:52] They say, defend democracy. [00:17:54] Democracy is under threat. [00:17:55] Democracy is under threat. [00:17:57] Well, what could be more democratic, small D democratic, than having a school board race, getting people involved, people going out, joining a coalition, knocking on doors of people in their areas, just the same way that Annabelina Luna won down in Florida this week. [00:18:14] They go together and they say, this is what they're teaching in schools. [00:18:18] We want to fix it. [00:18:19] We don't like the critical race theory. [00:18:21] We want to do something about the grooming that's going on in these schools. [00:18:25] And yes, we are going to use the G word here. [00:18:27] We're going to do something about it. [00:18:28] And oh, by the way, Patriot Mobile has been so kind to sponsor us. [00:18:32] Not because, by the way, we're doing the bidding of Patriot Mobile or something. [00:18:36] No, it's because we all agree in the same shared values that built this country and that built all of Western society. [00:18:44] That's what it's all about. [00:18:46] And if you can't get on board with that, then I think that it isn't us who have a problem with democracy. [00:18:52] It's you who have a problem with democracy and the idea of populist leaders, the people of this country actually rising up and having a voice for themselves. [00:19:00] Patriot Mobile, by the way, literally gives you a voice because then you don't even need to use Verizon or ATT anymore. [00:19:08] You can just go to Patriot Mobile and you know that you don't have to pay those scum buckets anymore. [00:19:15] That's how mad they are. [00:19:16] That's how upset they are about this one company that's growing, by the way. [00:19:21] Glenn Story was just on Warroom this morning, but I've seen some of the numbers. [00:19:26] This thing's growing. [00:19:27] It's getting bigger. [00:19:28] And they realize there's nothing they can do about it. [00:19:31] So you know what I say? [00:19:32] Cope and seed. [00:19:34] You mad? [00:19:35] Stay mad, NBC. [00:19:36] If you're making NBC mad, if you're making Google mad, if you're making Disney mad, guess what? [00:19:42] Now you're doing the right thing. [00:19:44] That means you've stood up for something. [00:19:46] Charlie likes to quote Churchill, right? [00:19:48] Churchill says, if you have enemies, good. [00:19:50] That means you've stood up for something in life. [00:19:53] That's what you need to do. [00:19:54] And I say that about myself. [00:19:56] Judge me by my record, judge me by my enemies. [00:19:59] Nini Yankovich, they just announced that Nina Yankovich and the entire disinformation board has been dissolved at the Department of Homeland Security. [00:20:08] You're welcome, United States of America. [00:20:12] Charlie called the shot when it comes to these colleges, the fact that the entire thing is a scam. [00:20:18] The way that it's set up has been a scam for years. [00:20:22] They are liberal indoctrination centers, woke factories, assembly lines churning out the woke workers of the world. === Frontline Workers Immunity (05:27) === [00:20:29] And they want the woke workers of the world to unite. [00:20:32] But my next guest is actually bringing the real workers together, the actual frontline workers together. [00:20:41] And we've got Rick Sterl, who was the founder, one of the founders of the National Coalition of Frontline Workers. [00:20:49] And their new event today is Unite to Take Back Their Power. [00:20:52] COVID-19 mandates were the tipping point firefighters, EMS, healthcare, law enforcement, the actual heroes of this country. [00:21:01] Rick, thank you so much for joining us today. [00:21:03] Awesome. [00:21:04] Amazing to be here and glad to represent as we, today's our official launch with the National Coalition of Frontline Workers. [00:21:11] And part of this is over the past several months, we'll come together as a group without a voice and a lot of people not hearing in different areas. [00:21:18] And these are the same, as you mentioned, law enforcement, fire rescue, nurses and medical staff that are out there keeping your families safe and taking care of you guys, but they're not getting a voice as far as maintaining their jobs, being safe at their jobs, what they're being put through. [00:21:36] So we're just trying to bring that voice forward to represent everybody across the country and keep everybody's family safe and keep our workers where they need to be and have that voice in many areas. [00:21:49] Well, and here's the problem that we're facing in this country, right? [00:21:51] Because the way that so many of the frontline workers, there was that moment. [00:21:55] You remember early on in the pandemic, they shut down the lock, you know, to shut down everything. [00:22:00] They shut down all of our businesses. [00:22:02] They shut down schools, shut down universities. [00:22:04] But first responders and frontline workers were being celebrated every night in New York City. [00:22:10] It was at the 8 p.m. thing and we're all clapping outside. [00:22:13] I say, oh, that's great. [00:22:14] That's wonderful. [00:22:15] But then the minute they introduce these vaccine mandates, the minute they start clamping down on people and your folks in that community say, yeah, I'm not, you know, I don't know if I want to go, I'm interested in that. [00:22:26] I don't want to be forced to be doing this until I can get my job. [00:22:28] I have religious reasons, whatever the reason is. [00:22:31] Suddenly you've been demonized. [00:22:34] You've been treated like absolute garbage. [00:22:36] I would throw the military in with that as well. [00:22:38] The way that we've kicked so many people to the curb. [00:22:41] We haven't even seen the actual numbers nationwide of how many of our frontline workers and how many of our military members Members, our blessed and sacred military members that have been kicked out because of this. [00:22:54] There's stories right now of hundreds of Navy sailors trapped on ships because the Navy isn't even sure if they can allow them to leave at this point. [00:23:01] It's completely insane. [00:23:02] Let me know what is your organization doing to fight back against this insanity? [00:23:06] Because by the way, the CDC is now changing their guidelines and saying, oh, turns out you don't have to isolate anymore. [00:23:13] And maybe this isn't as bad as it used to be. [00:23:14] But sorry that all you people had to go through that. [00:23:17] Yeah. [00:23:17] And part of that today that we're going to work for as we launch this organization representing the frontline workers is a petition and a letter to President Biden asking to stop this emergency order, which was just extended again here just a short while ago, but to get things back to life as we know it. [00:23:37] And we still have a lot of emergency workers, frontline workers that are out of work due to the mandates, still being required to be vaccinated. [00:23:45] We're not against the vaccine. [00:23:47] You know, it's just we want the freedoms for the workers so they can do what they love. [00:23:52] The firefighters, law enforcement nurses all love to help people and want to do their jobs, but they want to do it safely. [00:23:57] So the goal is working with that, but also looking at some of the stuff that you look at some of the conditions that the nurses and the medical staff went through during the pandemic, the ratio of nurses to patients, the staffing hours and different things that they didn't have. [00:24:12] So we just want to be able to get that voice out there to the right politicians and to the right laws to help them move forward. [00:24:20] Well, and at the end of the day, why is there no consideration for natural immunity? [00:24:23] Because even in Europe, they can consider natural immunity. [00:24:26] They can give you an energy test. [00:24:28] So I'm unvaccinated. [00:24:29] My entire family is unvaccinated. [00:24:31] We made that decision because we are all naturally immune. [00:24:36] We have natural immunity. [00:24:38] I actually had a, my wife was pregnant during COVID. [00:24:41] So we got, we had COVID. [00:24:43] She was pregnant. [00:24:44] Our son was born. [00:24:44] So we have a COVID baby, little baby AJ, who's watching at home right now. [00:24:48] I have baby AJ. [00:24:50] My mom's watching him right now. [00:24:51] I think, oh, actually, his mom's there too. [00:24:52] So he looks up at the screen and says, dad, that, dad, that. [00:24:55] But look, he was born with natural immunity because he was born with antibodies. [00:24:59] And if we're being told to trust the science, trust the science, trust the science, why doesn't it seem like this huge piece that we all learned in sophomore junior year biology of how antibodies are made? [00:25:11] This idea of natural immunity, it isn't even being considered to the point where some of the most important people in our entire society, the firefighters, police officers, EMS, healthcare workers, those people would be demonized over something like this. [00:25:28] I don't understand it. [00:25:30] Yeah, and there's a lot with that. [00:25:31] And it's, again, like I say, we're not against the vaccine at all. [00:25:35] It's your choice, but a lot of it is just people being able to go to work and do their job. [00:25:40] I've got two of our board members here standing with us that represent law enforcement fire rescue that were both out of work because they chose not to be vaccinated. [00:25:49] And so there's so many different areas of bringing the frontline workers' voice out and making it heard. [00:25:56] It's a lot of work. === Giving A Voice To Workers (06:19) === [00:25:57] And there's a lot of people. [00:25:58] There's over 24 million frontline workers that are out there serving every day to take care of you and your families. [00:26:05] And we want to help give them that voice and make it heard. [00:26:08] And with help like yourself and other outlets, we can take these stories out there and start to try to make a difference. [00:26:15] All right, now tell us about your event today because I understand you're going. [00:26:18] You're going to be at the Hey Adams. [00:26:19] We're going to Hey Adams, great venue, by the way. [00:26:21] Nice dad. [00:26:22] So you're at the Hey Adams. [00:26:23] Are you guys there now? [00:26:24] Is that where you're calling from? [00:26:25] Yeah, we're here now today. [00:26:27] We do our official launch is kicking off today at three o'clock. [00:26:32] You can, there'll be multiple media outlets here with us today. [00:26:35] You can check our website out at frontlineworkers.org, which is our website that you can follow up on information. [00:26:42] If you happen to not be a frontline worker and wish to donate or sponsor some of the stuff, there are donating buttons on the website that you can select to help us out. [00:26:50] And then we'll start moving forward from there. [00:26:52] The membership is open and we're already gaining traction with members from various disciplines across the country and many states, which is growing quickly as they start to see that they'll be able to have a voice. [00:27:06] And each of the members, when we look to possibly go after a political candidate to support or not, is we're looking to take the voice all the way from every individual member to see where they want to go. [00:27:17] As a nonpartisan organization, we're looking to do what's right for the communities and what our membership wants to do. [00:27:24] Well, I think that's right. [00:27:25] And that's the way to do it. [00:27:25] And we do, I understand that Bruce, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe we will have someone from RAV who's over there at the event, Real America's Voice. [00:27:33] So you'll be able to actually watch that live or at least get the live coverage from that. [00:27:37] I think Chris Carter is going to be over there with you guys, making sure all of that is covered and that we do have the actual outlet out there because this organization, I should probably ask him, you said you got a lot of media, but how much of the mainstream media are they there to report on what you're doing? [00:27:53] Or are they there to attack you, to malign you, to spread all sorts of information? [00:27:58] That's so important because from your perspective, have you seen really either of the, and I know you're saying nonpartisan, I don't mean to put you on the spot, but are you getting much response from political leaders at the federal level, at the state level, when it comes to your plight? [00:28:14] Is there anyone that's picking up the ball and saying, I will be there for the frontline workers? [00:28:20] Myself, Jon Stewart and I, right? [00:28:21] John Stewart, he's a guy on the left. [00:28:23] I'm a guy on the right. [00:28:24] But we were able to, after some little bit of commotion, we came together over this issue of the burn pits and doing the right thing for veterans that have been affected by these burn pits. [00:28:34] Because at the end of the day, we all owe the veterans and the people who deployed, the people that I had in my units that were affected by these burn pits. [00:28:42] We were able to do something like that. [00:28:44] Are you finding much in the way of political leaders that are willing to reach across the aisle and just advocate for your issues? [00:28:50] It's limited. [00:28:52] I live in Florida. [00:28:53] So we have Governor DeSantis that's knocking it out of the park for the frontline workers and supporting. [00:28:59] There's a variety of differences around the country, but it's looking for more support with it. [00:29:03] And we have a lot of the military that we're very familiar with that, again, with the vaccine requirements and just different limitations that it has people not signing up for service and different sides with it. [00:29:15] So again, there's a lot of avenues without the support that we've had in Florida. [00:29:21] It would change dramatically as far as the number of workers that are out there. [00:29:26] And when it was started in Florida, they started that new hires would have to be vaccinated and a whole slew of things. [00:29:32] But you've still got New York, California, a lot of these places that it's in full effect, that you've got guys that we have right here that have got years of service serving their communities that are out of work without the support. [00:29:46] Look, and I got to tell you, we had, you know, this past 4th of July, we had something in our neighborhood where there was actually a house fire a couple of blocks away from us. [00:29:57] Believe it or not, it had nothing to do with fireworks. [00:29:59] I know that's, I know 4th of July fire, house fire, you did, oh, it must have been lightning. [00:30:02] No, it actually was actually just a single guy who was at home, but we had the firefighters were right there immediately. [00:30:09] And I brought my four-year-old, I brought my one-year-old. [00:30:12] They were able to see, and they got it. [00:30:14] They got it right away that when trouble comes, you guys are the heroes that step up and you literally run towards the burning building to save life, to save property. [00:30:25] And correct me if I'm wrong, but you're still an active battalion chief. [00:30:28] Is that right? [00:30:28] Correct. [00:30:30] That's right. [00:30:30] So you're out there fighting for these guys because it's about their rights to just go. [00:30:35] You just want to do your jobs. [00:30:37] Yes. [00:30:38] And everybody here and most frontline workers all just want to do their jobs. [00:30:42] And a lot of them, you know, Matt here that's been out of work for months and just wants to go back to work and serve his community and do his job. [00:30:52] It's completely upside down. [00:30:53] I mean, this is, you know, when I think of the frontline workers, when I think of military, when I think of moms, mother, these are the pillars of our community. [00:31:02] There shouldn't be anybody that we're supporting. [00:31:04] And meanwhile, you know, we're giving the student loans hundreds, what, 500 billion, I think the latest tag is on for that. [00:31:10] But where can people go to follow you, to support you, and to support your mission? [00:31:15] So again, today we'll be, you know, our website is frontlineworkers.org, which you can go on there. [00:31:21] We also have all the social media links that you can follow us. [00:31:23] But again, for frontline workers that wish to jump on board and become a member and stay in tune with us, your opportunities there for anybody that's watching or listening that's outside of the organization. [00:31:34] You can go back to frontlineworkers.org and there's multiple donation buttons that you can donate to help support and keep everything rolling for us. [00:31:44] So we look forward to some good media coverage today. [00:31:47] And after today, with the official launch, we'll be out throughout the country, different presentations, different areas, working with different groups to make everything function and move forward, giving the frontline workers a voice throughout the country. [00:32:02] Rick, God bless you. [00:32:03] God bless the guys over there. [00:32:05] I wish I could come by. [00:32:06] I'm going to be stuck here. [00:32:07] But for everyone over the Hey Adams, the Hey Adams, man, you guys, you're right in the heart of it. [00:32:12] So I think you're probably going to be annoying all the right people by being there. [00:32:15] Stay well and God bless. === Managing Government Decline (05:48) === [00:32:16] All right. [00:32:17] Thank you very much. [00:32:17] Have a great day. [00:32:21] I caught an interesting piece of audio yesterday at Sean Hannity Show on radio. [00:32:26] And I want to know if our producers could play that, guys. [00:32:30] Play clip 64, please. [00:32:32] So in other words, what? [00:32:33] A bailout plan for rich people to send their kids to school? [00:32:37] And what's so bad about working your way through school? [00:32:41] Because I did it. [00:32:42] We have a lot of young people that work on my TV show, and I'm making $125,000. [00:32:47] And they're now eligible to get, in some cases, up to $20,000, in other cases, $10,000. [00:32:53] And this is new Green Deal radical socialism. [00:32:57] Okay, so what he's saying there essentially is you keep hearing this argument from the older generation. [00:33:06] And guys, you got to understand this. [00:33:07] You got to understand. [00:33:08] And I understand people want to say, well, hold on. [00:33:10] If you took out debt, you should pay back your debt. [00:33:12] I get it. [00:33:13] I get it. [00:33:13] But why are we demonizing the people who were preyed upon when they were teenagers, 16, 17? [00:33:21] Do you understand that the entire scam has changed? [00:33:25] The entire economy has changed in the 2000s. [00:33:28] A lot of this goes back to Obama and Obama working with the universities to set up, what is it again, the college scam. [00:33:37] And I understand that people want to say, oh, well, this isn't what it was like when I grew up. [00:33:42] I get that. [00:33:43] But you have to understand, Sean, that times have changed. [00:33:48] And you also can't be there saying, well, we can recklessly spend as much money as we want overseas while not spending while claiming to be a fiscal response, you know, fiscally responsive, fiscally conservative for people here at home. [00:34:02] It don't work. [00:34:03] It don't work, Sean. [00:34:05] So figure it out. [00:34:07] I mean, let's talk about real world dollars. [00:34:09] You probably paid off like $5,000 for this. [00:34:13] And it doesn't make any sense. [00:34:15] The people listening who are younger, they're not making any sense, but you know, it does make sense to them. [00:34:19] This guy, this guy, Joe Biden, is paying off debt. [00:34:24] What these guys are doing is sending money overseas. [00:34:27] Essentially, here's what's happening. [00:34:29] They're looting the treasury. [00:34:31] We're in the looting the treasury phase of the decline of America. [00:34:36] Biden understands, well, Biden doesn't understand very much himself. [00:34:38] When I say Biden, I kind of mean the Biden regime itself. [00:34:40] This regime understands that we are now a country in decline and they don't care. [00:34:46] Because remember, under the Obama administration, if you go back, what was the catchphrase of the Obama administration? [00:34:51] Manage decline, manage decline, manage decline, manage decline. [00:34:55] Then Trump comes around and says, oh, we're going to have managed greatness. [00:34:59] Actually, we can have America first. [00:35:00] We can stop trying to pay the debts of every country around the world. [00:35:04] Hey, Zelensky, when are you paying off your debt, by the way? [00:35:06] If we're going to send, you know, maybe these are loans, right? [00:35:08] These are always supposed to be loans, right? [00:35:10] We know that's not going to happen. [00:35:11] But what they're doing is they're just going to loot the treasury and they're using it to buy the votes of young people. [00:35:18] And so understand: if that's going to be the new, the new relationship, the new relationship between the federal government or the government in general and the voters, it's changing. [00:35:30] It's been changing since the 1960s. [00:35:32] It's been changing since the 1930s and the New Deal. [00:35:35] You sit there and say, well, this stuff isn't in the Constitution. [00:35:38] And yet, everybody out there is saying, how can I get more? [00:35:41] How can I get more for my family? [00:35:43] Now let's go to the regime mouthpiece itself. [00:35:46] Guys, play cut 66. [00:35:49] How much does this cost? [00:35:51] You know, the projections are still coming out depending on how many people take advantage of it. [00:35:56] But let me remind folks: what's the way about three months? [00:35:59] What's the range of possibilities? [00:36:02] Well, like I said, those projections are still coming out based on how many people take advantage of it. [00:36:06] How will this be paid for? [00:36:08] Look, the president has been very clear about reducing the deficit. [00:36:14] Receipts incoming because we've got the receipts on this. [00:36:17] We know what the project is. [00:36:18] Oh, suddenly the federal government doesn't know how to do projections. [00:36:21] I think we do because the receipts are out on this and they're not good for you, you spokeshole. [00:36:27] You won't even tell us how much this bailout costs. [00:36:29] We'll tell you how much it costs because Fox Business has the headline: Biden student loan handout to cost roughly $500 billion, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. [00:36:42] $500 billion. [00:36:46] So I want you to embrace that. [00:36:47] I want you to understand that number: $500 billion. [00:36:51] Look at what has been done in our country. [00:36:54] They set up this system. [00:36:56] They work with the universities. [00:36:58] They work with the banks. [00:36:59] They work with the federal government. [00:37:01] They put you into this chain where they said, We want you on this massive spending platform, this assembly line into the woke workers of the world. [00:37:12] They're creating the woke workers of the world. [00:37:15] They're creating the they, them energy, the he, him energy. [00:37:19] They're creating this in our world. [00:37:21] And who's paying for it? [00:37:22] You are. [00:37:23] Every single one of you that played by the rules and did what you're supposed to do, but stuck with your middle class values and said, well, I don't want to get into debt if I don't have to. [00:37:33] I didn't have debt myself, by the way, when I went through. [00:37:36] I don't want to do that. [00:37:37] You see, there's no money for the wall, but there's plenty of money for Ukraine. [00:37:41] There's plenty of money for setting up this system to create their own voting block. [00:37:48] And then when their own voting block experiences economic hardship, here they come in again. [00:37:53] Government's your daddy. [00:37:55] Government, it's your sugar daddy. [00:37:57] It's basically government has become your sugar daddy. [00:38:01] And that's what it is for millennials. [00:38:02] That's what it is becoming for Zoomers. === Debt And Political Control (01:03) === [00:38:05] They understand this. [00:38:06] And many of them, I talked to people, I know people from college that I went to, and they said, I don't want to own a house. [00:38:12] That seems like a lot of work. [00:38:13] What do I need kids for? [00:38:15] I don't know about being dad, but maybe I can just see what's coming up on Netflix. [00:38:19] I'm going to order something off of Uber Eats. [00:38:21] I'm not going to be out there in the real world making real social connections, experiencing life in all of its fullness and its richness. [00:38:28] No, I'm going to be working to service my debt for the rest of my life and then just praying, praying, praying that the people who get put in power are the ones that are able to give me some relief from it. [00:38:41] Is that the kind of system that you want to have? [00:38:43] No, that's the kind of system that Klaus Schwab and Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden and Barack Obama, that's what they're all about. [00:38:50] They've always been about this.
