[00:01:46]  Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
[00:01:55]  Joining us right now is Steve Bannon, who had a fabulous description, a monologue about what's happening economically globally.
[00:02:04]  Steve, welcome to the program.
[00:02:06]  Can you walk our audience through kind of the Keynesian economic drunkenness that the Western world has been engaging in?
[00:02:14]  And what is this new term they're using, fiscal domination?
[00:02:17]  And how does it apply to the average working American?
[00:02:20]  Steve, welcome to the show, and the floor is yours.
[00:02:23]  Yeah, Charlie, thanks.
[00:02:24]  Just I know you're going on offense as the team over at Turning Point always is.
[00:02:28]  I just hope you've got good security today because the University of Texas, the great state of Texas, I got to tell you, the University of Texas is the railhead of a lot of progressive thought.
[00:02:39]  So that's going to be a wild one.
[00:02:40]  I don't know if you're going to live stream it, but I will tell you.
[00:02:43]  Charlie Kirk in Texas taking questions, Q ⁇ A from the audience could be pretty exciting.
[00:02:48]  So I'm going to tune into that one, sir.
[00:02:50]  Thank you.
[00:02:51]  It's going to be fun.
[00:02:51]  It's going to be awesome.
[00:02:53]  Hey, October's offense.
[00:02:55]  Look, Lisa Bramowitz actually said it.
[00:02:58]  We monitor all the global news networks and particularly the financial news networks.
[00:03:03]  I think for people under 35 years old, you have to understand that we are hitting into a time that is going to set the framework for your personal life, whatever your achievements are, whatever you want to accomplish.
[00:03:13]  And that framework is really beyond your power to control now.
[00:03:17]  That's where you got to get involved.
[00:03:18]  I think in places like Turning Point and in politics to try to get more control of your life.
[00:03:23]  Fiscal domination, this is about what's happening in the UK right now.
[00:03:28]  And it's very important in your life.
[00:03:29]  The UK, they came up with some tax cuts and some other policies from the government that obviously could not be paid for given their vast overspending.
[00:03:38]  The bond market there started to collapse.
[00:03:40]  The Bank of England had to step in.
[00:03:42]  And the reason was the pension funds.
[00:03:43]  The pension funds were about to go out of business.
[00:03:46]  And that would have really caused almost a revolution in the streets in the UK.
[00:03:50]  The Bank of England had to step in.
[00:03:52]  And what you're seeing is that this discussion's gone on is that this concept called physical domination, physical domination is where the politicians, the uniparties in Washington, D.C., in London, in Western Europe, have really been on this Keynesian process of vast overspending and not in capital equipment that's productive, but just kind of paying operating expense year after year after year with these massive deficits.
[00:04:17]  And the central banks, that's called physical domination.
[00:04:20]  The central banks have kind of gone along with it and they financed it.
[00:04:23]  They've just printed money, whether that's pounds or whether it's U.S. dollars.
[00:04:27]  That game is rapidly coming to an end.
[00:04:30]  And nobody's really reporting this right now.
[00:04:31]  You know, Jamie Diamond, the chairman of JP Morgan, said the other day, we are heading to a physical, we're heading to a fiscal crisis.
[00:04:39]  We're heading to a credit crisis where you're not going to be able to pay for these deficits and you're going to have sovereign debt, sovereign debt.
[00:04:47]  And normally when you have sovereign debt crises, Charlie, it's Greece or Italy or some third world country.
[00:04:53]  You're going to have sovereign debt crisis in the Western world.
[00:04:58]  And particularly, I think in the United Kingdom, in the United States, right now, Drudge has got up on its left-hand side a column in its left column about halfway down a story from MarketWatch: the $31 trillion face amount of debt we have in the United States.
[00:05:10]  We're having a tough time selling those bonds, those treasuries as it rolls over.
[00:05:14]  There's no real buyers.
[00:05:15]  People don't want this anymore.
[00:05:17]  They're going to charge such high interest rates that come next calendar year for the U.S. budget.
[00:05:22]  The interest payment is going to be $500 billion, $600 billion, $800 billion, maybe a trillion dollars in a couple of years.
[00:05:28]  So we are in, but hurling towards a deeper financial crisis, and we're getting pretty close to the abyss.
[00:05:36]  What this means is that your life, you working for a company, trying to start a business, trying to raise capital, trying to get a great job that can pay for help with your wife and your family, is all going to be taken away from you.
[00:05:50]  And this is because the profligate spending of a political class that hasn't had the discipline put on it by a central bank to say, no, you can't do it.
[00:05:58]  So all I can tell people is that we've got tough times ahead.
[00:06:02]  The last comment I want to make, since really 1800, since the Battle of Trafalgar and really a few years later, Waterloo, the Anglo-American system has been in place.
[00:06:12]  And although we split off as a revolution, we were always inextricably linked as both capital markets and kind of an economic model.
[00:06:19]  Since we defeated the French, since the British defeated the French, that for 222 years, the Anglo-American model, the administrative state globally as they expanded in an empire and their capital markets, English common law, all of it was what really kind of the world's structure was based upon that.
[00:06:38]  And what you're seeing now, and this is why the OPEC plus situation happened the other day, the southern, where the resources are, the vast amount of resources in what they call the global south is revolting against right now the economic chaos that's in the west.
[00:06:54]  And they're saying, hey, we have the resources.
[00:06:56]  We don't know if we want to keep selling it to you for the prices you determine either in pounds or dollars.
[00:07:01]  And we're going to have a big think about that.
[00:07:04]  That's why the 3 million barrel a day cut is so big.
[00:07:07]  And this shows you what's called the bricks, you know, Brazil, Russia, India, and China, the BRICS, or what do we call the global south when you add Iran and you add these other countries are pushing back.
[00:07:18]  I believe this is going to be the beginning of what I call the dark valley, like in the 1930s.
[00:07:23]  You're going to have nothing but economic and financial chaos going forward.
[00:07:27]  And this is going to bring about dramatic political change.
[00:07:30]  Charlie, as you talk about every day, populism and economic nationalism, it's going to come to the forefront now as really those types of policies we have to have in order to get our house in order.
[00:07:40]  So here's what is confusing to me.
[00:07:42]  I agree with all of that, but this is very risky for the Davos Crowd and the World Economic Forum.
[00:07:47]  It's not risky in the sense of we know that they have become fabulously wealthy and more powerful and closer to the kind of transhumanist agenda, open borders because of all of these, you know, kind of the fiscal domination, Keynesian economic policies.
[00:08:01]  But it's risky because it certainly does open the door for a populist response.
[00:08:06]  Have they factored that in?
[00:08:08]  Have they factored in that there might be moves and counter moves that they might not be able to control?
[00:08:13]  Steve, can you help game this out for me?
[00:08:15]  Yeah, I think it's the key point.
[00:08:17]  Right now, it's getting beyond, you know, as Steve Cortez said so eloquently on the show, the Bank of England got slapped by capital Marxists in trying to intervene.
[00:08:26]  The Davos crowd, which was really the central banker in these governments that have had this fiscal domination, are losing control because they can't just have the game of printing money.
[00:08:36]  And I think the most thing they're worried about is a populist revolt.
[00:08:38]  That's why they went after Giorgio Maloney so strongly in Italy.
[00:08:41]  That's where they're coming after MAGA.
[00:08:43]  That's why you're a target you'll see today at University of Texas.
[00:08:46]  They now understand that the reaction to this is going to be a populist nationalist movement in England, in France, in the Swedish Democrats, alternative for Deutschland, NC Georgia Maloney in Italy, and the MAGA movement with President Trump here in the United States.
[00:09:01]  That's why the political fights are only going to get more intense, but now you're going to do it within a framework of a financial and economic crisis.
[00:09:10]  Yeah, it's a huge risk for them, though.
[00:09:13]  They spent this money.
[00:09:14]  They leveraged up the entire Western world and they've taken everything away from people, including their children.
[00:09:21]  They've put forward these secular values and imposed them, and they act as if there's not going to be a reaction.
[00:09:28]  This is why they have to go to leg irons and handcuffs.
[00:09:30]  They no longer can engage in debate or dialogue.
[00:09:33]  But in some ways, the global elites have laid the foundation, the preconditions for a populist and nationalist response.

=== Intense Political Fights Ahead (09:06) ===

[00:09:43]  Charlie Kirk here, look, I've told you about producer Andrew and how Relief Factor has really improved his life and relieved the pain in his knees and back.
[00:09:50]  Now, let me tell you about Yvonne in California.
[00:09:53]  She says this: both my husband and I are in our 70s and so grateful to have found Relief Factor.
[00:09:58]  We've tried so many other solutions, but none of them have given us the freedom from aches and pains like Relief Factor.
[00:10:04]  I hear you, Yvonne.
[00:10:05]  Relief Factor works for me too.
[00:10:06]  Relief Factor is a 100% drug-free solution developed by doctors based on scientific research to help your body attack the underlying inflammation causing you pain.
[00:10:16]  Three weeks from now, you could be doing the things you enjoy doing.
[00:10:19]  Your first step to becoming pain-free could be just to order the three-week quick start for only $19.95.
[00:10:25]  After trying Relief Factor, over half a million people have gone on to order more.
[00:10:30]  Go to relieffactor.com or call 8004Relief to find out more about this offer.
[00:10:35]  That's relieffactor.com or call 8004 Relief.
[00:10:38]  Live your best life and feel the difference with Relief Factor.
[00:10:43]  Let's play Cut 63 of Joe Biden threatening Saudi Arabia if they do not ramp up oil production.
[00:10:50]  And then I'll have Steve Bannon respond to this: play cut 63.
[00:10:54]  But we should, we should, and I am in the process when this House and Senate gets back.
[00:11:02]  They're going to have to, there's going to be some consequences for what they've done with Russia.
[00:11:07]  What kind of consequences?
[00:11:08]  Menendez says suspend all arms sales.
[00:11:10]  Is that something you'd consider?
[00:11:12]  I'm not going to get into what I'd consider and what I have in mind, but there will be consequences.
[00:11:18]  Steve, your reaction, how does OPEC play into all of this?
[00:11:21]  OPEC, I think, represents the Global South to a large extent.
[00:11:24]  They've told Biden.
[00:11:25]  Remember, Biden went over there for a million-barrel increase.
[00:11:28]  They decreased by two.
[00:11:30]  That's a 3 million barrel per day swing.
[00:11:33]  Also, he begged them not to announce it before the 2020.
[00:11:37]  He said, can you just wait a month?
[00:11:38]  This is, we've defended Saudi Arabia.
[00:11:40]  And remember, Saudi Arabia was our partner in taking down the Soviet Union under President Reagan because of the control of oil.
[00:11:47]  And they pumped more and they drove down the price of Russian resources.
[00:11:52]  This is a huge element.
[00:11:54]  For 40, 50 years, we've defended the kingdom and we've defended the Gulf Emirates.
[00:12:00]  Today, Charlie, it's announced that UAE and MBZ, Mozambique Zayed, Mohamed Ben Zayed, who's our number one ally in the region besides Israel, even more than he's in, he's in a state visit with Putin today in Russia.
[00:12:14]  This is people that we've defended and have been our allies supposedly for 20, 30, 40, 50 years saying, uh-uh, in this economic crisis going on right now, we're going to dramatically cut production because we want to husband our resources.
[00:12:27]  Part of that, their logic is you have so screwed up your finances.
[00:12:31]  You've so devalued the dollar.
[00:12:33]  We don't know if we just want to go along anymore and continue to sell this to you for American currency.
[00:12:38]  And that's why they're looking at other baskets of currency, other payment processes.
[00:12:42]  The American people have to understand this is a dramatic and meaningful moment.
[00:12:46]  And Joe Biden's sitting there talking about arms sales and what he's going to do.
[00:12:49]  This is basically telling the United States of America, we may be playing for the other team.
[00:12:54]  If the Chinese Communist Party is going to control the Eurasian landmass with Pakistan, the Mullahs in Iran, Erdogan in Turkey, the KGB, FSB, Putin guys in Moscow, they look like they're going to play for that side.
[00:13:07]  They're going to line up on that side of the football.
[00:13:08]  That's going to change the world dramatically.
[00:13:10]  As we go through this financial economic crisis, this control of the Eurasian landmass is going to add a geopolitical crisis on top of it.
[00:13:17]  That's why everybody in your audience under 35 or 40 years old understand we are beginning a process.
[00:13:23]  This next decade is going to be very much like the 1930s.
[00:13:26]  And let's hope we don't end it up with another world war.
[00:13:29]  And that's why it's going to take very smart people.
[00:13:32]  People were emailing me said, what are you going to do?
[00:13:33]  First off, you've got to get engaged in politics today.
[00:13:36]  You have to get engaged.
[00:13:38]  The only way we can get control of this is to get massive political control, overwhelming political control in Washington, D.C.
[00:13:45]  That has to happen.
[00:13:46]  If that doesn't happen, the party at Davos will basically drive us off the cliff into the abyss.
[00:13:52]  Yeah, so Steve, in closing here, what is their best case scenario?
[00:13:55]  Because this seems to have created chaos for power control.
[00:13:58]  But, I mean, there's how much of this is intentional or how much of this is incompetent, Steve?
[00:14:03]  What's your take on that?
[00:14:05]  I think a lot of it was intentional until they realized it got beyond them.
[00:14:08]  And that's why I think you're seeing the mass incompetence right now.
[00:14:11]  Here's what they're going to do.
[00:14:12]  Their reaction is going to be hard.
[00:14:14]  You're seeing in social media takedowns, whether it's Dr. Latipo in the free state of Florida being taken off of Twitter, Dr. McCullough, they're investigating Mark Stein.
[00:14:22]  We had Naomi Wolf was on Mike Stein's show the other day talking about the vaccine.
[00:14:26]  The British government's investigating.
[00:14:28]  The administrative state of the party at Davos is only going to crack down harder.
[00:14:32]  Don't think they're going to sit there and go, Charlie Kirk, Steve Bannon, the populist nationalists, Donald Trump, what a great idea.
[00:14:38]  No, the reaction from the administrative state is only going to get harder.
[00:14:42]  That's why the next four weeks here, all the chips are on the table, Charlie.
[00:14:46]  I tell you, this is going to be these midterm elections are the most important midterm since 1862.
[00:14:52]  Well said.
[00:14:52]  Steve Bannon, thank you so much.
[00:14:54]  Great commentary.
[00:14:54]  As always, love watching you right before us here on Real America's Voice.
[00:14:57]  Thank you.
[00:14:58]  Good luck today, Charlie.
[00:15:00]  Stay safe.
[00:15:01]  It's going to be fun.
[00:15:03]  October is a month of offense.
[00:15:04]  We will stay safe.
[00:15:05]  That is for sure.
[00:15:06]  Thank you, Steve.
[00:15:09]  Look, don't take your chances with your family's survival.
[00:15:12]  Right now, you need to stock up on all the emergency food that you're going to need very soon.
[00:15:15]  Food shortages are spreading the globe right now.
[00:15:19]  And I think they're actually intentional.
[00:15:22]  You are nine meals away from anarchy.
[00:15:24]  And all that food in your fridge, it'll spoil in a day and a half with no power.
[00:15:29]  And I don't know.
[00:15:30]  Let's see how long it lasts.
[00:15:31]  But once you get to a week and once you get to two weeks, how are you going to feed your family?
[00:15:36]  Well, you guys got to check out My Patriot Supply.
[00:15:38]  They're offering a very generous 20% discount on their most popular three-month emergency food kit.
[00:15:42]  We got the food at all in the room.
[00:15:44]  My family is going to be very well fed.
[00:15:46]  If things fall apart, we're not going to be hungry.
[00:15:49]  We'll have other problems.
[00:15:50]  We're not going to be hungry.
[00:15:51]  Each kit feeds one person for three solid months.
[00:15:54]  Right now, you'll save 20% off each kit you order, but this sale ends soon.
[00:15:57]  Go to preparewithkirk.com and grab your 20% savings.

[00:16:05]  If the day ever comes, we need to fall back on this food.
[00:16:08]  It's going to be worth a lot more, by the way.
[00:16:10]  You'll be able to barter and trade this food.
[00:16:12]  Food will be the new currency very soon.
[00:16:14]  Are you feeding your family?
[00:16:15]  It's preparewithkirk.com.
[00:16:17]  Food shortages are coming very, very soon.
[00:16:20]  Protect yourself.
[00:16:21]  Prepare properly.
[00:16:22]  Prepare prudently.
[00:16:23]  I love the team at preparewithkirk.com.
[00:16:25]  I work with them intimately.
[00:16:27]  They're great Americans.
[00:16:28]  Preparedness is something to be proud of.
[00:16:30]  I am a proud prepper because when things fall apart, I'll be ready.
[00:16:34]  And all the people that laugh or scorn or don't take it seriously, well, they're going to have to fend for themselves.
[00:16:39]  Don't be that person.
[00:16:40]  Go to preparewithkirk.com.
[00:16:44]  The new communication strategy from Democrats as their midterm election chances seem to just be collapsing.
[00:16:52]  And I'm not trying to celebrate too early.
[00:16:53]  We cannot rest on our laurels.
[00:16:55]  Offense, offense, offense, full throttle, full speed.
[00:16:59]  But the Wisconsin Senate race is looking pretty good.
[00:17:03]  Johnson in the Real Clear Politics average poll up 2.7 points.
[00:17:08]  Adam Laxalt, 1.7 points, despite tens of millions of dollars pouring in.
[00:17:14]  JD Vance, up 1.4 points.
[00:17:16]  They say Raphael Wernock is up 3.3 points against Herschel Walker.
[00:17:20]  I don't believe it.
[00:17:20]  I think Herschel is going to pull it off.
[00:17:22]  I remain with my prediction that I think as things stand today and things can change, Republicans will have a two-seat Senate majority.
[00:17:30]  And hopefully, it will actually be more than a two-seat Senate majority.
[00:17:34]  What do you mean by that?
[00:17:35]  Hopefully, we can displace Lisa Murkowski and put in Kelly Schabaka so that our 52 is actually 52 and not 51.
[00:17:43]  And so there's some really good polling out of Alaska that shows that Kelly Schabaka is gaining on Lisa Murkowski and is in a very, very good position despite the unconstitutional, immoral, incredibly complicated rank choice voting system.
[00:17:58]  Never should have been approved.
[00:18:00]  It's silly.
[00:18:01]  It's backwards.
[00:18:02]  It's rigged.
[00:18:03]  It's awful.
[00:18:04]  So the new communication strategy for Democrats, now that their polling advantage is collapsing in every single state, it's collapsing in Ohio.
[00:18:13]  It's collapsing even in Arizona.
[00:18:15]  It is now a race where Blake Masters is in striking distance.
[00:18:18]  Kerry Lake is doing very, very well.
[00:18:21]  The new communication strategy is not to do what Bill Clinton used to do, where he would say, I feel your pain.
[00:18:30]  Instead, it is to say, you're actually not in pain.
[00:18:32]  So let's just a little very short clip.
[00:18:34]  Bill Clinton in the 1990s, it was all about empathy and sympathy.
[00:18:37]  I can't stand the word empathy, actually.
[00:18:39]  I think empathy is a made-up new age term that does a lot of damage, but it is very effective when it comes to politics.
[00:18:46]  Sympathy, I prefer more than empathy.
[00:18:48]  That's a separate topic for a different time.

=== New Communication Strategy Shifts (08:03) ===

[00:18:50]  Here's Cut 65.
[00:18:51]  Look, it goes back to this entire theme and this entire kind of question of why are Democrats now not even acknowledging things are difficult.
[00:19:02]  So let's go to this tape.
[00:19:04]  Cut 49, Janet Yellen.
[00:19:06]  I think the United States is doing very well.
[00:19:08]  So people are in pain.
[00:19:09]  They can't pay for bills.
[00:19:10]  They can't pay for groceries.
[00:19:11]  They can't pay for gas.
[00:19:12]  And Democrats could at least say, you know what, we feel it.
[00:19:14]  We're going to figure it out.
[00:19:15]  We're going to try to, you know, come to common ground.
[00:19:17]  No, no, instead, it is, no, actually, things are great.
[00:19:20]  Everything's fine.
[00:19:21]  In fact, you should be thanking us for how great things are.
[00:19:24]  Play Cut 49.
[00:19:26]  And with high inflation and tightening monetary policy in many advanced countries, emerging markets from really all of these factors are suffering many stresses.
[00:19:40]  So there's a lot to talk about.
[00:19:41]  But from the perspective of the United States, I think the United States is doing very well.
[00:19:47]  Janet Yellen saying, you know, things actually, I think the United States is doing very well.
[00:19:51]  You know, kind of the talking point that Joe Biden used in his interview with Jake Tapper is, well, we're not going in a recession.
[00:19:57]  People don't think we're going in a recession.
[00:19:59]  Now, we predicted this very early on.
[00:20:01]  We said that we are going to see a labor market collapse.
[00:20:05]  In fact, we can go back in the Charlie Kirkshow archives and all these stuffy shirt economists and elite experts and PhD people on TV have been wrong about everything.
[00:20:15]  And it just so happens on this program, our economic predictions continue to prove out.
[00:20:20]  Why is that?
[00:20:20]  Well, I spent the year 2011 and 2012 and 2013 reading every single economics book I can get my hands on.
[00:20:29]  And I did not read, well, I read a little bit of John Maynard Kane's garbage book, silly book that should be used as firewood.
[00:20:37]  No, I read F.A. Hayek and Louvin von Mises and Murray Rothbard.
[00:20:41]  And when you read those, and again, you can agree or disagree as some of the conclusions, or Henry Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson, you start to understand what money actually is, how money is created, why fiat currency is a complete joke.
[00:20:54]  You go read Creature from Jekyll Island, for example, and you talk, you really understand how the entire kind of modern world was built on fake and cheap money.
[00:21:04]  All of a sudden, you start to kind of look around and say, well, that is not going to work.
[00:21:08]  And that doesn't make sense.
[00:21:10]  And now all of a sudden, Bank of America is saying what we said six months ago on this program, that a labor market collapse is imminent.
[00:21:18]  Play Cut 50.
[00:21:19]  And you talked about Bank of America.
[00:21:20]  So Bank of America issues this warning saying that sometime not too far from now, I guess next calendar year, we're seeing job gains right now, but they say we can see job losses of 175,000 jobs a month.
[00:21:33]  Yes, a labor market collapse is imminent.
[00:21:36]  But despite all of this, Joe Biden and others, Janet Yellen, are saying that things are going wonderfully.
[00:21:44]  The only thing worse than creating miserable circumstances is telling people that they are not living through miserable circumstances.
[00:21:56]  It is the only thing worse.
[00:21:58]  So they create miserable circumstances and then they bully you and intimidate you to say, actually, things are wonderful.
[00:22:05]  They're sublime and you should be thanking us and giving us more political power.
[00:22:09]  People are not going to put up with this.
[00:22:10]  Their tone is so arrogant.
[00:22:12]  It's so prideful.
[00:22:14]  It is so hyper-aggressive in defense of the lies that I think that independent voters in particular just want to say, can you just admit that things actually aren't great right now?
[00:22:26]  Inflation is crushing people.
[00:22:28]  Inflation is a hidden tax in every single purchase.
[00:22:31]  It is a hidden tax of 10, 20, 30%.
[00:22:34]  Rent in Phoenix alone is up $1,200 for working class young people in just the last six months.
[00:22:42]  We are talking about entire generations that are going into debt just to be able to survive.
[00:22:47]  And the Biden administration says, you know, actually, things are going really well.
[00:22:49]  You should be thanking us.
[00:22:50]  You should give us more political power.
[00:22:52]  Now, of course, Mark Kelly, the very dishonest senator from the state of Arizona, you see these advertisements that Mark Kelly is running.
[00:22:59]  And it's such a joke.
[00:23:00]  Mark Kelly, he runs these ads.
[00:23:01]  He says, yeah, you know, I stand up to Joe Biden when he's wrong.
[00:23:04]  And I stand up to Republicans when you're wrong.
[00:23:06]  No, actually, you're a lackey for the entire Democrat regime and people are starting to recognize and realize it.
[00:23:11]  And Latino voters and Hispanic voters, especially, are waking up for a mass repudiation of the Democrat carnage campaign against the American economy.
[00:23:23]  I want to play another piece of tape here.
[00:23:24]  Joe Biden sitting down with Jake Tapper.
[00:23:28]  Again, the arrogance.
[00:23:31]  Politicians that at least are somewhat honest and are able to improve upon that tend to do very well.
[00:23:39]  In some ways, we should be thanking Joe Biden and the Democrats for having this kind of tone because it's not going to end well for them.
[00:23:44]  But listen to this.
[00:23:45]  Joe Biden says, actually, I think I'm really popular.
[00:23:47]  Play Cut 52.
[00:23:48]  You may not like what I got done, but the vast majority of the American people do like what I got done.
[00:23:53]  And so I just, it's a matter of, can you do the job?
[00:23:58]  And I believe I can do the job.
[00:24:00]  I've been able to do the job.
[00:24:02]  If they think that is a winning message, then just continue.
[00:24:05]  Accelerate.
[00:24:06]  Do more of that.
[00:24:07]  But it's very fascinating because when you contrast that with the tone of how Democrats used to talk in the 1990s, Bill Clinton released they had some form of self-awareness.
[00:24:18]  Play Cut 65.
[00:24:20]  With people like you all over America, people that have lost their jobs, lost their livelihood, lost their health insurance.
[00:24:26]  What I want you to understand is the national debt is not the only cause of that.
[00:24:31]  It is because America has not invested in its people.
[00:24:34]  It is because we have not grown.
[00:24:36]  It is because we've had 12 years of trickle-down economics.
[00:24:39]  We've gone from first to 12th in the world in wages.
[00:24:42]  We've had four years where we produce no private sector jobs.
[00:24:45]  Most people are working harder for less money than they were making 10 years ago.
[00:24:49]  And this decision you're about to make better be about what kind of economic theory you want.
[00:24:54]  Not just people saying, I'm going to go fix it, but what are we going to do?
[00:24:58]  What I think we have to do is invest in American jobs, American education, control American health care costs, and bring the American people together again.
[00:25:05]  Now, look, Bill Clinton is an A-list actor and also a degenerate human being.
[00:25:10]  I don't know if that was in between trips to Epstein's Island, but that sort of tone, like a buddy talking to you at the bar, was very effective.
[00:25:21]  Democrats now, it's really interesting.
[00:25:24]  Democrats now talk more like George H.W. Bush used to talk, very technocratic, very arrogant.
[00:25:33]  And it should make you very angry.
[00:25:36]  And I know it does.
[00:25:38]  Because in some ways, you'd be able to calm down so much of the rancor and the opposition if you just said, you know what, actually, okay, we got out of COVID.
[00:25:49]  We spent a lot of money.
[00:25:51]  Things aren't great.
[00:25:52]  We're going to fix that.
[00:25:52]  Instead, the attitude, the insistence that you are living through one of the most wonderful economies in American history, I think it's very revealing because I think they are so sensitive.
[00:26:06]  They are so afraid of what might happen if all of a sudden they were to admit things were not the best they've ever been.
[00:26:16]  They're so worried that all of a sudden that might be used as a reference against them to create a mass movement that they just have to try to continue to propagandize you and pummel you into agreeing that, you know what, okay, fine.
[00:26:31]  I'm not even going to dare disagree.
[00:26:33]  That dissidents will be raided by the FBI.
[00:26:35]  Dissidents will be shut up on social media.
[00:26:37]  That you have to say the Pravda that, you know what, okay, there might be a famine, but the harvest is great this year.
[00:26:42]  Just go read Pravda.
[00:26:43]  Just go read the newspaper.
[00:26:44]  The Soviet Union says the harvest is great.
[00:26:46]  There's plenty of food, even though there's a famine and you killed all the Kulaks and the farmers.
[00:26:49]  The harvest is great.

[00:27:45]  I'm going to do another hit against Jon Stewart because we did it briefly yesterday, and I want to go into it again.
[00:27:53]  Okay, so Jon Stewart used to be a very funny man, and now he's just become a very nasty person and a spokesperson for the pharmaceutical companies.
[00:28:01]  I really don't understand why Jon Stewart is making one of his final crusades of his career to be the medical mutilation of children.
[00:28:10]  It's very, very bizarre.
[00:28:11]  And he compares this to be almost like a civil rights issue: that if a 12-year-old is not able to take Lupron or get their breasts removed or is able to have irreversible damage to them, that somehow you're the worst person ever.
[00:28:26]  Now, we played this tape yesterday, and I want to preface it because I was actually watching it for the first time yesterday.
[00:28:32]  So, Jon Stewart, very, you know, with proper preparation, goes through the list and he goes through piece by piece by piece.
[00:28:41]  And he says, well, look at all these experts, endocrinologists and AMA and doctors who could dare disagree with all of them, yielding the experts.
[00:28:49]  Well, maybe it turns out that every single one of them are okay with doing irreversible damage to children.
[00:28:57]  And yes, it is the role of the state to come in and protect children.
[00:29:04]  Not to mention, Boston Children's Hospital shows that there's a psychologist claiming that children know their gender seemingly from the womb and can express their desire to transition as soon as they can speak.
[00:29:14]  So we might as well do gender reassignment surgeries, I don't know, on three-year-olds.
[00:29:19]  If you look at the community of people that have transgender transition regret, it's at least 25 to 30,000 people.
[00:29:28]  And that is a big number.
[00:29:30]  We do not know the percentage, but that's a huge number.
[00:29:32]  And I know it's growing from there.
[00:29:34]  There's even a heartbreaking clip, and I think we could find it.
[00:29:39]  Maybe it was just a description of a conversation of four girls who had their breasts removed in a transgender regret, a transition, I'm sorry, transition regret healing group.
[00:29:55]  And they asked the question: when are my breasts going to grow back?
[00:30:01]  They don't.
[00:30:02]  You got to wonder about informed consent.
[00:30:05]  And isn't this so interesting?
[00:30:07]  The left, who are so dishonest, and Jon Stewart, I would love the chance to talk to this smug jerk.
[00:30:12]  The left says, you can't own an assault rifle when you're 18, but when you're 12, you know your gender and you should be able to have invasive, life-altering surgery that might end up in you being depressed, suicidal, and on psychiatric medication the rest of your life.
[00:30:29]  The medical mutilation of children, chemical castration of children for profit, creates a child to become an annuity for the pharmaceutical companies for the rest of their life.
[00:30:38]  The pote-parie of drugs that they have to then take for the rest of their life is astounding.
[00:30:44]  I want to play this tape again of Jon Stewart because this whole thing has gone viral.
[00:30:47]  He sat down with the Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge.
[00:30:55]  Play cut two.
[00:30:57]  Why would the state of Arkansas step in to override parents, physicians, psychiatrists, endocrinologists who have developed guidelines?
[00:31:12]  You're suggesting that protecting children means overriding the recommendations of the American Medical Association, the American Association of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society.
[00:31:25]  We don't have enough data.
[00:31:26]  We don't have enough to show that these drugs are effective and that these children are better off, and that we should encourage them or it's not enough for you.
[00:31:35]  Look, the proper response to Jon Stewart should be very simple.
[00:31:40]  If parents and doctors want to go chop off the parts of a 12-year-old, then the state needs to come in and say that that's not, we're not going to tolerate that.
[00:31:50]  We are not going to put up with scientific experimentation of children.
[00:31:55]  And it's happening all across the country.
[00:31:57]  In fact, the American Medical Association, many others, are saying this is a boom industry.
[00:32:02]  Very simple.
[00:32:03]  If the American Medical Association thinks that child mutilation is medicine, we shouldn't be censoring people who disagree.
[00:32:10]  We should be stripping their power to accredit medical schools and jailing the doctors who join this unscientific cult, period.
[00:32:19]  You should lean in and say, hey, Jon Stewart, did you think you were ever something that you weren't when you were young?
[00:32:25]  You said, the whole thing about being young is you have the line blurred between fiction and reality.
[00:32:29]  And it's parents' role to clarify that.
[00:32:33]  It's actually, no, you know what?
[00:32:34]  No, it's not going to happen.
[00:32:34]  If a parent wants to abuse their child, guess what?
[00:32:37]  We have laws against child abuse.
[00:32:38]  Oh, yeah.
[00:32:39]  Well, if a parent wants to do it.
