Alex Jones Billion Dollar Judgment00:11:29
Hey everybody, today in the Charlie Kirk show, Alex Jones receives a $1 billion judgment.
Should conservatives speak up about this?
Should we care?

Buckle up, everybody.
Here we go.
Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
I want to thank Charlie.
He's an incredible guy.
His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
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.
That's why we are here.
Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
So I had a very busy day yesterday as we set up a table at University of Texas Austin for a couple hours.
Then I spoke for a couple hours in our wonderful Turning Point USA chapter was out there recruiting and educating and doing what we do best.
And it's not political at all.
It's all about talking about morals and values and philosophy and talking about what really matters and having conversations where obviously you're going to disagree, but maybe by using reason and dialogue, you can come to some sort of middle ground.
I was told that I was trending on Twitter during all of that, which was interestingly enough because of something I said on this program about empathy.
Don't have time to get into that, but on our Ask Me Anything episode tomorrow, I'm going to explain what I meant by that when I said empathy is a new age term that I really, I think, is rather useless.
Sympathy, I have a lot of use for that word, but empathy, I don't.
Not going to get into that right now.
We're going to explain that in our Ask Me Anything.
But the real reason why I was trending is because I tweeted about Alex Jones.
Now, some of you might have saw the news yesterday with Alex Jones.
Alex Jones received a ruling that he has to pay nearly $1 billion in damages.
Now, understand, I tweeted out about this yesterday, about the injustice of having to force somebody to pay a billion dollars for having a wrong opinion and wrong perspective about something.
And I got trending for that.
And I had a lot of people texting me and a lot of people messaging me saying, Charlie, lay off the Alex Jones topic.
Just stay away from this one.
And even today, you know, people are saying, Charlie, just don't waste your time.
Alex Jones is a nut.
Don't worry about it.
And maybe a couple years ago, I might have stayed away from it.
I might have listened to the regime and just said, oh, yeah, you know, Alex Jones is awful and terrible and all these sorts of things.
And let me just be very clear.
I disagree with Alex Jones on plenty of things.
I agree with Alex Jones on some things.
When Alex Jones talks about the great reset, I agree with almost everything he has to say.
There's plenty of things throughout the years that I think Alex Jones could have done differently.
Certainly what he did with the Sandy Hook thing was not right.
He admits it.
He said he made a mistake in the Sandy Hook situation.
He says what he said was wrong.
He now says that.
So I didn't like what he did there.
A lot of people didn't like that.
So does that mean that you could crush somebody and bankrupt them and demand a $1 billion judgment?
And so a lot of people say, just stay away from Alex Jones.
Stay away from that.
And I think back to a couple years ago, to a situation that I wish I would have spoken out about more.
I'll be very honest with you.
And I don't have a lot of regrets, but I have a regret about this.
When Alex Jones was simultaneously taken off of Apple Podcast, Twitter, Facebook, all the social media sites at once.
Maybe our team can look at the article.
It was a simultaneous collusion.
When Alex Jones was taken off every single platform, I remained silent.
I did.
I think this was back in 2018 or 2019 because I was very naive.
I was naive where they said, oh, you know, Alex Jones, he's a little off the reservation.
CNN led that assassination campaign.
And I was young and I thought, okay, you know, Alex Jones, you know, InfoWars, all that sort of stuff.
And, you know, I don't need to speak out because they're not going to come for me.
And what a mistake that was as I look back.
As I look back and I see that that was setting the precedent.
That was setting the groundwork, if you will, laying the foundation is a better way to say it to be able to have these social media companies work in tandem, work in harmony, to be able to kick people off of social media, to shut us up.
And the next thing you know, I'm getting suspended from Twitter.
And then a president of the United States gets banned from Twitter.
And it started with us being silent when Alex Jones was kicked off of social media.
When all these different companies came together and they banned him, when CNN led that campaign, again, we're going to get the kind of article when that all happened.
It happened all at once.
All these different companies that had nothing in common except the fact that they were told that Alex Jones is the worst thing ever.
And people were silent, myself included.
And I remember now, and I look back at that and I've learned from it.
I said, the next time a situation like this happens where they try to set a precedent against Alex Jones or somebody like Alex Jones, I am not going to be silent again.
And that is exactly what is happening here.
Because, you know, it's kind of in vogue now to kind of talk about social media tech censorship and the banning of people and all that sort of stuff.
And oh, yeah, it's kind of the new thing we could talk about.
But what if we would have united and said this is unacceptable early when they went after Alex Jones?
Would they have been as successful at doing that?
At once, Alex Jones was kicked off of every single social media site all at once.
And we were almost never given any sort of explanation for it.
Alex Jones stands to have to pay a billion dollars to Sandy Hook families.
Let me reiterate: for the degenerate Media Matters people out there that intentionally try to misrepresent what I have to say.
I don't like what Alex Jones said about Sandy Hook.
He doesn't like what he said about Sandy Hook.
That's not the point.
The point is: should a precedent be set that if you say something that is wrong or have an opinion that people do not like, should you be able to crush them financially?
Is that a precedent that we are willing to set?
Alex Jones acknowledged he was wrong repeatedly and is now ordered to pay $1 billion.
Meanwhile, the largest fine paid by a banking executive responsible for the 2008 financial crisis, $67 million.
Who hurt more people?
Thank you.
This is the article.
Producer Andrew found it.
Back in 2018, I was right on the date.
I remember where I was when this happened.
YouTube, Apple, Facebook all removed content from InfoWars and Alex Jones simultaneously on the same day.
Spotify, Facebook, Apple, YouTube.
It was all the same thing.
And remember, after January 6th, when all of a sudden Spotify and TikTok and Pinterest and all these other weird social media companies all came together and they banned Trump together at the same time, Alex Jones was patient zero for the censorship regime back in 2018.
And now Alex Jones is patient zero for lawfare strategies to be able to shut people up that they don't like.
Is Alex Jones outlandish?
Of course he is.
He's a quasi-entertainer.
That's one of the reasons why he's so popular.
But Alex Jones has been right about a lot of things.
And so people say, well, don't talk about it.
You know, stay away from it.
I learned my lesson.
I learned my lesson.
What happens when I stay quiet and I listen to these people?
I'm not going to put up with another bad precedent being set because I'm told that I should hate Alex Jones.
He's outlandish.
He's wild.
He's entertaining.
I don't agree with him on everything.
They're doing this to be able to show it's a spectacle.
And some people say, look, Charlie, this isn't about the regime doing a spectacle.
It's about the families of murdered kids.
Okay, I think it's not right what Alex Jones said and what he did.
He agrees with that.
Should you be able to shut somebody up because of it?
Rachel Maddow accused One America News Network of being funded by the Russian government and a judge tossed that away because under free speech provisions.
A billion dollars?
This also is an opportunity that I hope all of you take.
Watch carefully today.
The podcasts you listen to, the radio shows you consume, the TV shows you watch.
This is a scorecard moment.
If your favorite conservative commentator is silent on Alex Jones, that is very telling.
Because just the fact I'm doing this segment right now, we're going to get articles written up all over.
I don't care, and you shouldn't either.
I care too much for you, the audience.
I care too much for what we're fighting for to just do what I'm told by some sort of regime puppeteer.
It's too important.
It's a scorecard moment.
I hope you guys will look carefully at who steps up to bat to defend what is right.
And they're the heart of so many different campaigns this election season.
But what did our founders have to say about this?
Well, the greatest college in America, Hillsdale College, I was just there with Dr. Larry Arn.
They do such a beautiful job.
They have an amazing new online course.
I'm actually in the process of taking it right now.
I can't wait to finish it.
Can't wait to tell you all about it.
They have the best way to learn about the founders' deep and wise insights into human nature.
Today, you can join Hillsdale professor Thomas West and David Azarad and explore all of these ideas.
And by the way, when you guys go to charlieforhillsdale.com, you guys can take the Churchill course, the Aristotle course, the Great American Story course.
You guys can take the Shakespeare course.
You guys could take the Roman history course, the Federalist Papers course, the Supreme Court course, the Intro to Constitution course.
If you're maybe, I don't know, a little down, I have an idea for you.
Are you actively learning enough?
You know, I'm not saying that learning is the answer to depression.
I'm not saying that.
But I guarantee you that people are depressed are probably not learning things that are beautiful enough.
Learning is exciting.
You dive into it.
It gives you telos.
It gives you purpose.
It gives you a cadence to your life.
No better place than Hillsdale College to do that.
Look, the Real American Founding a Conversation is the place for you to be able to learn about America's founding.
The midterm elections are right around the corner, and the founders, they thought about a lot of these things.
And I love Thomas West.
I can't wait to finish this course.
So go to The Real American Founding a Conversation by it's very simple.

Learning will enrich your life.
And one final thing about Hillsdale College, they get it.
They take zero federal government money.
They have none of this diversity, equity, inclusion garbage.
They are the best.

New York Times Defamation Claims00:15:27
Do you think that it's right to stand up for Alex Jones despite whether you think he said something right or not?
I want your emails, freedom at charliekirk.com.
Most of you agree, because if you don't stand up for the principle of speech when it's hard, when are you going to stand up for it?
Why is it that very few conservatives, God bless Tucker Carlson, God bless Steve Bannon, that even say there's something insane about this for wrongthink?
You have a bad opinion, you say something wrong.
Again, I don't like what he did.
I think what he did could be interpreted as cruel.
But guess what?
You're allowed to be cruel when you have freedom of speech.
You're allowed to do things that you might not like.
And he even has apologized for it.
He has admitted it.
And they're saying, well, Charlie, he was intentionally lying for profit.
He wasn't.
He was wrong.
But he probably believed what he said.
And so here's a very basic question I tweeted out.
If Alex Jones owns a billion dollars for saying mean things on a show, how much should the Stalinist propagandists at CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post, and the New York Times pay to all Americans they pressured to inject their kids, saying it would prevent transmission to grandma?
That's the precedent being said.
Of course, not a judge would throw that out in an instant.
Here's the thing: one of the reasons they like going after Alex Jones is because of his style.
He can come across as unreasonable to some people.
And as we've talked about in the practice of persuasion, the more reasonable person in a discussion wins the argument in the view of the audience.
Now, Alex at times can come across as someone who gets very excited.
Okay, that's his style, and it's worked for him, by the way.
But Jones is a means to the end, a means to an end, I should say.
He's much easier to take down.
But the tactics that are now being used on Jones as patient zero, as step one, can be used on more and more targets.
They used Alex Jones for social media suppression, patient zero, back in 18.
And as I mentioned previously, I remained silent to my regret.
I had a platform and I didn't say a thing.
I wish I would have.
And you grow up and you learn, and now I'm back in this moment.
And I say, boy, they're doing the exact same thing.
And people say, oh, yeah, just shut up.
It's like, you know what?
At least if they ever come after us with this sort of barrage and this sort of ridiculous lawfare strategy, I will be able to look you, the audience, in the eye and say, I stood up for the tough case when it actually mattered.
And if the conservative media can't do that, then what on earth is the conservative movement or media good for?
It's not about whether you like Alex Jones.
It is completely irrelevant.
What is relevant is, do you think that the law-industrial complex in collusion with the media can work in harmony to completely obliterate somebody financially for saying something wrong and then therefore apologizing afterwards?
The New York Times had a quote that is very, very telling.
Quote, lawyers say the three trials hold lessons for other cases against conspiracy-minded defendants, from the January 6th insurrectionists to Trump allies sued for falsely claiming that voting machines manufacturers helped steal the 2020 election.
Oh, so they're going to go for Mike Lindell next.
Or are they going to go for Steve Bannon?
Are they going to go for this program?
Are they going to go for Tucker Carlson?
The New York Times says this now holds lessons.
They are running.
This is practice for them.
This is a spring football game.
This is spring training.
This is A baseball for them before they get to the majors.
Alex Jones is not the destination.
Alex Jones is just getting them refined to be able to do what they actually want to do.
It says it in the New York Times article.
Lawyers for the Sandy Hook families say a verdict will send a signal to other conspiracy purveyors about the cost of online lies and set in emotion a chain of events that could shut info wars down.
So basically, the New York Times is saying this is a lot bigger than just Alex Jones.
And you might be out there and say, I hate Alex Jones and he's a whackadoodle and all this sort of stuff.
Look at the bigger picture.
Have you learned nothing about how these people operate?
Conspiracy purveyor.
Who exactly is that?
You know who the conspiracy purveyors are?
Every single one of those mockingbird maniacs on television that was telling us Donald Trump is a Russian agent.
You're the conspiracy theorist, but they'll never be held accountable.
No, what they mean by conspiracy theorist is someone who asks questions against the core tenants as Friedrich Nietzsche, the pieties that you can't ask, like election integrity or the alphabet mafia.
I want your thoughts.
Is it worth standing up for Alex Jones when it's tough?
Email me, freedom at charliekirk.com.
Let me ask you this.
Do you know the real story of George Floyd?
Look, we know about BLM, the organization, not the movement, used Floyd's name to raise $90 million.
But where did all the money go?
Well, we finally have answers because Candace Owens interviewed the people who were closest to George Floyd and uncovered the parts the media will never tell you.
I am so excited to see this.
The great Candace Owens, who, by the way, is doing some stops with us at Turning Point USA.
We're honored to have that.
She has the new documentary, The Greatest Lie Ever Sold, and it will bring all the answers to light.
Candace, she went there.
She went to Minneapolis to the scene of the violent, racially divided aftermath that tore our beautiful country apart.
And she followed the money to uncover BLM's executives living in million-dollar mansions.
Well, that's only the beginning of where the money has gone.
You'll be disturbed by how the $90 million worth of well-meaning donor funds have been used.
If you want to hear the reality and not the narrative, you need to see this movie.
Go to dailywire.com/slash Charlie and become a Daily Wire Plus member.
It's well worth it.
They got great people there.
You'll not want to miss it.
Support Candace Owens and see her new movie.
I can't wait to watch it.
We have plans.
As soon as it comes out, boom, we're going to watch it.
Dailywire.com/slash Charlie.
Check it out.
We have most agreement.
Some people are emailing us disagreeing.
They say, oh, no, you know what?
There needs to be a price for lies and defamation.
Well, that's an interesting thing.
Did Alex say something he knew was false?
I don't know.
I don't think that's exactly what happened here.
He apologized and said he was wrong.
And then a billion dollars?
Really?
To bankrupt him and silence him and stifle him.
And then the New York Times tells us this is now a roadmap.
A blueprint has now been developed for other voices we don't like.
We're going to now be able to shut up all sorts of different people.
I'm just going to close with this.
Then we have Jack Pesobic coming on about the OPEC stuff.
Very important.
Which is look carefully in the next 24 hours to all your podcasts you watch, all the shows that you watch, all the radio programs you listen to.
And if they are silent on the issue of Alex Jones, I hope you ask them why.
Jack Pesobic is with us.
He is the host of Human Events Daily, brought to you by Turning Point USA, also the host of an amazing docuseries that is being aired on Real America's Voice every Sunday about the great reset.
Jack, is that right?
Every Sunday evening?
Jack, welcome to the program.
You are 100% right.
It is every Sunday weekend.
So every Sunday evening, Real America's Voice has opened it up.
So we're actually doing two specials every Sunday night now on Real America's Voice.
The first special is a regular weekly special.
So, this week we've got Paul Manafort for the full hour.
We're going to get his take on elections.
We're going to get his take on everything that happened with him in Russia Gate, his take on Ukraine.
And then, following that, the docu series, each episode in the series comes out.
It's going to be 6 p.m. and then 7 p.m., the great global reset.
So, people remember when I went over to Davos and Turning Point USA sent me over.
Actually, I remember Charlie, you called me up and said, Jack, I need you to go to Davos.
And I said, Charlie, it's dismay.
What's going on in Davos?
You said, Jack, you're going over.
You're going to expose the globalists.
It's going to be great.
And we had like no plan.
I remember off of that first call, but you know, when Charlie calls it, Jack, you're going to Davos and say, All right, we're going to Davos.
So we figured it out.
And then Klaus Schwab got very upset that we were over there.
He sent his thugs out after me.
And you can't say World Economic Forum police, by the way.
That's what their badges say.
We have to say the police assigned to the World Economic Forum.
So you get Eros Reuters gets very, very upset about this.
And so they don't have the freedom of speech over there in Switzerland, by the way, which is something that we get into in the documentary that I think ties back to Charlie, what you were just talking about about Alex Jones.
Is you don't have to say that you defend every single thing that Alex or you agree with every single thing that Alex Jones ever said to say that you support freedom of speech and that you're very concerned with this obvious attack by the regime on the principle of freedom of speech in our country.
And that's perfectly consistent.
Go look at the Guardian today.
They've got a new piece up that says, well, and it's Simon Jenkins and he's one of the far left guys over there.
Only proper online regulation can stop poisonous conspiracists like Alex Jones.
And who gets to define that?
Well, of course, Simon Jenkins and Guardian.
They do.
So the United States is actually very unique in terms of world history by having something like the First Amendment.
And when we have situations like this, you will find people who will come from traditions like Simon Jenkins or the police over in Switzerland that don't have freedom of speech, don't have freedom of the press.
And they're going to use that to erode our freedoms again and again and again here back home.
And that's what this is about.
That's 100% what this is about.
Because I remember back in 2019, when Rachel Maddow stated on her program that One America News, OAN, took money from Russia.
She said that.
Then OAN sued her duly.
They went to the courts.
What did the courts find?
The court said, this is obviously an opinion program, and her statements are to be taken as opinion.
And they were thrown out because it was an obvious exaggeration.
That's what happens when it's Rachel Maddow.
When it's Alex Jones, it's a billion dollars.
So we used to have freedom of speech like that for everybody.
Now we only have it for one side.
But, Charlie, as we always say, it's not hypocrisy.
It's hierarchy.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
And it's going to be a test to the conservative media landscape of who speaks out, who has the courage to do that, because they're using this as a test case and a blueprint to be able to do this to other people.
They say that in the New York Times article.
So shifting gears here, Jack, I want to talk about OPEC and Quid Pro Joe.
What is the story here?
It's a little confusing to most people.
Walk us through it with your foreign policy expertise.
So the timeline on this is important, right?
So over the summer, when gas prices were getting really bad, Joe Biden and his crack team at the White House decided to go over to something called the Strategic Oil Reserve.
They're these giant caverns down in the Louisiana bio.
They're underneath the Louisiana bayou, these actually salt caverns, limestone.
One of them used to be owned by Mortensalt, really interesting story.
And we, in the 1970s, our country started filling these up as a reserve in case OPEC ever conducted another embargo against the United States or ever looked to cut production.
Pay attention to that because that's going to come up later.
So Biden decided that he didn't like where his approval numbers were.
So what did he do?
He started releasing oil from the strategic oil reserve into the markets, and prices dipped for a little bit, but now they're back on the upswing again.
So, last week, Biden calls for OPEC to increase their production.
And of course, we remember OHIB, you know, he goes over there, he has the fist bump with MBS, who's the crown prince that's basically in charge of how to right now.
Saudi Arabia's government is basically run by like Game of Thrones.
It's Game of Thrones rules over there.
So, you know, the king is pretty much down, but he's not out yet completely.
But MBS is, you know, the prince is really running the government.
Yeah, the prince is running.
So, just if you've seen Game of Thrones, that's basically how they run Saudi Arabia.
And so, OPEC Plus last week comes out and says, you know what?
We're actually not going to increase production.
We're going to decrease production.
Joe, we're very sorry about that.
We don't like the things that you've been doing.
We've decided that we're going to push off.
And Charlie, you had Steve Bannon on here yesterday for that incredible discussion about the collapse of the Anglo-American financial system worldwide.
This is part and parcel of that because, of course, everyone knows that system, and maybe we should do some more episodes explaining this for people.
It's backed by the petrodollar.
It's backed by the fact that all oil transactions, petroleum, LNG, must be conducted around the world in U.S. currency, even if the United States is not involved in the transaction.
Obviously, this creates an artificial demand for U.S. dollars.
So, when the Saudis tell Joe to pound sand over this, Biden comes back and the Wall Street Journal reports this last week.
They say, Okay, if you're going to do it, can you at least delay it one month?
Can you delay it one month?
Well, Charlie, we've all got calendars.
I wonder why it's one month from now, right?
You know, we're one, we're actually less, only about you know, two, two and a half weeks of any account from the election.
So, obviously, he's saying you need to delay this until after the election.
Then Biden goes on Jake Tapper's program.
The thing drops over the weekend to sit down with Jake Tapper.
He says to Tapper's face that we've asked them to postpone this.
He then says there will be consequences if they do not agree to our demands.
Tapper says, What consequences?
And he says, Oh, Jake, consequences.
We then hear Roquahana on Monday.
We hear Blumenthal come out as well and say, We will drop the military sales to Saudi Arabia.
This is congressionally appointed military sales.
I'm going to put aside the issue of whether we should be doing that right now.
But just to point out, this was approved by Congress.
This is something we've been doing for a very long time.
And they asked Joe Biden about this while he's on the lawn, while he's walking into the White House.
And he says, Yes, we are going to look at that when Congress comes back after the elections.
And so I'm just sitting there watching all of this and saying, Well, wait a minute, isn't this the exact same thing that President Trump was impeached for?
The only third impeachment that we've ever had in the United States of America, U.S. history, was over coercing.
Remember their allegation, not what the facts were, but their allegation they had the whistleblower.
His name was Eric Charamela, by the way, the whistleblower.
Then they had Vinman, and Vinman had a feeling, he had a strong feeling.
Remember, he had a rustling in his Jimmies that Trump was trying to coerce and Zelensky, right?
Of course, it was Zelensky.
It's just amazing how the same names keep coming back up again and again.
So Zelensky and Trump are having this phone call.
Trump says, I need you to look into this guy, Joe Biden.
Zelensky Burisma Impeachment Debate00:03:18
He's up to no good in Burisma.
I want to see if there's anything you can find out about that.
You're there.
Let's talk to the prosecutor general.
Earlier, we know there was another situation where a prosecutor general had been fired in Ukraine that may or may not have actually been looking in to Hunter Biden and this burisma company.
So they impeached Trump over that and they claimed it was over withholding military aid to Ukraine.
We're now hearing Joe Biden publicly state that he is planning to withhold military aid from Saudi Arabia, again, congressionally approved, if they do not essentially lower the price of oil, which would lower the price of gas going into the election.
Now, all of this is flying around on social media, and it's like I'm the only person in America that actually connects the dots on it.
And then suddenly the Saudis come out last night with this giant statement.
It looks like they wrote it on a scroll.
If you see this thing, the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, you don't usually see them put out statements like this, where they completely confirm everything that went on and they publicly reject the offer.
They say, we will not delay this one month.
The White House, Préjean Pierre, has been trying to walk it back.
But now the end was incredible.
I'm waiting for the fact check.
I'm waiting for Reuters to come out and say, oh, Poseobic is, you know, reading between the lines too much again.
The AP and the Wall Street Journal, as of this morning, four hours ago, have both come out and completely corroborated everything I reported.
I want to play Cut 80 really quick for some context.
Play Cut 80.
Brian, the Saudis themselves said this morning that the U.S. requested a one month's delay to the OPEC plus output.
I wonder why that would be.
Brian, can you tell me whether you did ask the Saudis for a one month's delay to that decision?
Are they telling the truth?
Look, we clearly communicated our views to OPEC members that we thought it was short-sighted for them to take the action that they were contemplating and they announced.
Yeah, and look, this is very clear to me.
And I've said this.
By the way, Brian Dees, Charlie, former head of global sustainable investing at BlackRock, now at the White House.
Yeah, no, that's exactly right.
And so, yeah, and just kind of one other thought that, you know, we've been pushing forward here with, you know, Saudi Arabia not wanting to play ball here.
Saudi Arabia is very upset at the Biden regime over multiple things with kind of them cuddling up to Iran.
And also, you know, Russia kind of getting involved with the production cut with Saudi Arabia.
Russia does not want an all-blue Congress either right now.
Not to say that, you know, a red Congress would be a friend of Russia, but the non-stop flow of billions of dollars to Ukraine, obviously Russia has some vested interest to try to slow that down right now.
And so you've got to think that there's some foreign, there's some foreign interests here in more ways than one.
They're not fans of Joe Biden.
They're trying to do something here.
But then Joe Biden goes out of his way to just so nakedly and blatantly try to do a quid pro quo for political gain when it comes to energy production.
I mean, how is this not impeachable compared to what they went after Donald Trump for?
So.

Jack, switching gears for a second, the Pennsylvania Senate race is something you're obviously very passionate about, defeating Mr. Fetterman.
What is going on here?
What do the chances look like?
You're a native Pennsylvanian.
Do you think that we have a chance to defeat Mr. Fetterman?
Well, Charlie, when I look at both Pennsylvania races, the Senate race, the governor's race, I think that things stand at possibly the best place they could be right now for both of these.
You've seen Fetterman, both himself physically and his campaign actually collapse over the timing of this.
And Dr. Oz, and I know there are a lot of people, obviously myself, you know, pretty much on the record about him during the primary, but I think there are a lot of people just objectively weren't sure what his chances would be in a Pennsylvania race.
Now it looks like he's on the path to becoming a United States senator.
I'm going to be going up to Pennsylvania tomorrow.
I'm speaking in Erie, Pennsylvania, so all the way up in the northwest quarter of Pennsylvania, right there in the Great Lakes.
Remember, Pennsylvania is a border state.
People forget that, but it's actually true.
And what we're seeing is we're going to be going hard in the paint because this is the final three weeks of the election.
And so I don't want people to just sit back and think, oh, things are looking good.
Cary Lake's looking good, wherever you are.
Florida obviously has a governor's race as well.
And when you look at Pennsylvania, Real Clear Politics has an article up today by Athen Kutzerumbus, and it states that the Pennsylvania suburbs are actually experiencing a Molotov cocktail of anger in terms of the place where the country is at right now.
Because when you're looking at their inflation, when you're looking at the economy, when you're looking at the fact that they can't get jobs, plus, you're also seeing more and more numbers of millennials, particularly in the collar counties around Philadelphia, where I'm from, by the way, you're seeing more and more millennials move back in with their retired parents.
Sometimes these millennials might have children of their own.
So you're sort of seeing this inverse multi-generational trend of families living together in the same household, but not in the way that they used to in the past in traditional societies.
That all of this represents a break in what they were told and what so many people were told would be the American dream for them.
Philadelphia Millennials Return Home00:01:40
Go to college, go to high school, or go to get your master's, you'll be competitive, you'll get a job, you'll be able to afford a giant house in McMansion right out of it.
You're seeing the real anger in the Philadelphia area.
You're seeing that in the suburbs.
And in the suburbs, by the way, that's where the violence of Philadelphia comes to play because that violence is now spilling out into the suburbs.
You're seeing gang initiations of people.
Charlie, they showed up outside of a high school football game to murder some players as a gang initiation.
These were adults, by the way, adult gang members that were killing children in order to do this.
And so people in the suburbs, they're looking at this and saying, look, we need change.
We need to look at a new way forward.
And maybe you do need somebody who's not going to be soft on crime like John Fetterman has been, someone who's, by the way, soft in the head, like John Fetterman is actually can't, you know, you actually, he actually can't hold a conversation in real life without being hooked up to a computer.
And I don't mean like the way that you and I are, you know, talking over a computer in terms of the internet.
I mean, literally, he needs a cybernetic appendage, you know, talk about transhumanism to be able to have a conversation.
Doug Mastriano, when you just talked about the economy there, when you talked about energy, the Marcella Shale find, Doug Mastriano has a plan, pipelines.
