=== Real Time Leaks and Mortgages (13:40) ===

[00:00:00]  Hey everybody, Tana Charlie Kirk Show.
[00:00:01]  We go through the latest leaks and then we ask the question, is this on purpose or not?
[00:00:05]  And we talk about the world reserve currency status.
[00:00:08]  And finally, Donald Trump at his best.
[00:00:11]  I know there's some mixed opinions on Trump in this audience.
[00:00:13]  Hear me out.
[00:00:14]  You got to listen to this clip.
[00:00:15]  If Trump talks like this and focuses on these topics, he's going to be tough to beat.

[00:00:43]  Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
[00:00:45]  Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
[00:00:47]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:00:50]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:00:54]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:00:55]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:00:56]  His spirit, his love of this country.
[00:00:57]  He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
[00:01:03]  Turning point USA.
[00:01:04]  We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
[00:01:13]  That's why we are here.
[00:01:16]  Brought to you by my friends, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage, 888, 888 1172 or Andrew and Todd.com.
[00:01:27]  There are some high-level leaks, some very consequential leaks that are really, it's making the Pentagon very nervous.
[00:01:36]  The national security apparatus is very nervous.
[00:01:40]  They're not addressing the actual specifics of what is being leaked.
[00:01:46]  Of course not.
[00:01:46]  No, they're going after the leaker.
[00:01:48]  They're going to find the leaker, it seems.
[00:01:50]  The FBI says they're close to identifying the leaker.
[00:01:53]  Of course, if you leak a Supreme Court decision, you don't get held accountable.
[00:01:59]  Dobbs.
[00:02:00]  If you leak a president's phone call, remember the whistleblower, Eric Shimarella?
[00:02:07]  Remember that guy?
[00:02:08]  Never held accountable.
[00:02:10]  Remember Donald Trump's tax returns illegally leaked?
[00:02:13]  That came on the front page of the New York Times.
[00:02:16]  Illegally leaked, never held accountable.
[00:02:19]  So leaks are supported.
[00:02:21]  They are popular by the national security apparatus, by the regime, unless they're leaking things they don't want you to see.
[00:02:30]  So I have mixed moral opinions on leaks, to be honest with you.
[00:02:34]  I do think that there is an argument some things need to be classified and confidential, that not everything needs to be open and transparent at that very moment.
[00:02:42]  You can't win a war if you're live tweeting your movements.
[00:02:45]  At the same time, I think the government has way overemphasized their ability to classify information, to use confidential categorizations, and then they just outright lie.
[00:02:59]  This is why I think generally what Snowden and Assange did, given the outright criminality of the American government, was pretty good.
[00:03:08]  I think Snowden, albeit, you know, broke the law.
[00:03:13]  I think that generally Snowden exposed a mass domestic spying operation, which was a moral good for humanity.
[00:03:21]  Do I think he should be held accountable?
[00:03:23]  I mean, there was some stuff that he leaked there that he probably shouldn't have leaked.
[00:03:26]  Julian Assange, the question is, how did he actually get some of this information?
[00:03:30]  But our government is in the business of lying to us, lying about us, misrepresenting their positions in geopolitics.
[00:03:42]  So the Washington Post spoke to a member of this online Discord discussion group.
[00:03:48]  Now, I have never used Discord.
[00:03:50]  I have no plans to use Discord.
[00:03:53]  Apparently, it's where a lot of video game discussions occur.
[00:03:56]  There's also a lot of gun and military themed communities, and you end up with a lot of actual military people.
[00:04:04]  I wouldn't know the first thing about Discord if you asked me about it.
[00:04:08]  I'm told it's very popular, and I'm sure there's some great people that use it, and there's some not so great people that use it, whatever.
[00:04:14]  But apparently, the leaker of this information was initially typing up hundreds of documents by hand to impress members of the chat group.
[00:04:23]  But then they were not sufficiently impressed, so he started to post images of the documents directly to prove that they were real.
[00:04:31]  So based on the narrative the Washington Post is saying, is that there were a group of teenagers on this online Discord application, which is just a chat group, basically.
[00:04:42]  It's an iteration of Reddit or 4chan or Telegram, kind of in its own community.
[00:04:48]  These are people that very well might be very into Call of Duty or online video games, just speculating.
[00:04:54]  And, you know, they have these kind of one-off conversations.
[00:04:56]  They might be playing video games together, and then they have these conversations together.
[00:04:59]  And this guy's like, oh, no, I have access to classified information.
[00:05:02]  And people apparently in the online chat were like, oh, yeah, prove it.
[00:05:06]  And this person then started to leak it.
[00:05:09]  So, quote, the original leaker was the undisputed leader.
[00:05:13]  He enforced a pecking order and expected the others to read closely the classified information he had shared.
[00:05:20]  When their attention waned, he got angry.
[00:05:24]  Late last year, the original leaker fired off a message to all the members of the server he had spent nearly an hour every day writing up.
[00:05:35]  Quote, these long drawn-out posts, his would-be pupils were more interested in YouTube videos about battle gear.
[00:05:42]  So according to the narrative that the media is putting forward, and this may or may not be true, this seemed to just be kind of an attention-seeking person with access to classified information.
[00:05:53]  Now, according to the Washington Post, whoever had access to all these documents would have had to undergo months of background checks, which is technically true, of course.
[00:06:02]  Well, those background checks aren't doing a lot of good if this was able to happen.
[00:06:06]  With huge amounts of diplomatic and military intelligence leak because of some 20-something who wanted to feel important and got mad when teenagers would not pay attention to him.
[00:06:17]  There's a bigger picture here, though, that we need to talk about.
[00:06:20]  The press and the U.S. government wants to downplay this aspect.
[00:06:24]  They want the emphasis to be on the basic military information, casualties, ammunition shortages.
[00:06:30]  That stuff is embarrassing, but it's just basic intelligence.
[00:06:34]  But the leaks show that we, the American government, were also spying on our own allies, Israel, South Korea, and even Ukraine.
[00:06:43]  Now, that kind of makes sense, but that's a separate issue.
[00:06:45]  We have an intelligence assessment where our leaders talk about the prospect of pressuring Israel to break its neutrality and send weapons to Ukraine.
[00:06:54]  We have another document that suggests we're spying on the private communications of South Korea's leaders, where they debate whether to send any of their weapons.
[00:07:04]  Now, the only thing that might save this leaker is if this leaker is trans.
[00:07:09]  If this leaker is trans, then he or she might receive a pardon.
[00:07:12]  You might say, oh, Charlie, that's outrageous.
[00:07:14]  Not when Manning got a pardon simply because that Manning was trans.
[00:07:20]  Remember, Obama pardoned a commutation, not a pardon, a commutation.
[00:07:25]  Similar but technically different.
[00:07:29]  Now, we need to really pay attention to this, though.
[00:07:31]  It's obvious that there is a diplomatic disaster unfolding against America all over the world.
[00:07:37]  This is happening in real time.
[00:07:38]  A lot of it traces back to the Ukrainian war and the radical measures we've taken.
[00:07:43]  Our leaders have no idea what they are doing.
[00:07:49]  We basically cut Russia off from the global financial system, and we have decided to engage in a series of events that could be the end of the U.S. dollar as we know it.
[00:08:00]  We're going to really dive into some of Donald Trump's interview with Tucker Carlson because there's one thing he said that I think was so brilliant that was one of the best pieces of television I've seen of him in years, in years.
[00:08:13]  But Donald Trump in Cut 77 talks about if we lost or if we lose the world reserve currency status, it's like losing a world war.
[00:08:25]  And he's right.
[00:08:26]  This is the largest geopolitical issue.
[00:08:30]  We will be impoverished overnight.
[00:08:32]  And our leaders seem to be welcoming it.
[00:08:34]  They seem to want the U.S. dollar to be destroyed.
[00:08:38]  Why do we not have every Republican in Washington, D.C. saying, we are not going to fund another measure.
[00:08:45]  We're not going to do anything until we hold this regime accountable in any way, shape, or form.
[00:08:51]  They're trying to destroy the United States dollar.
[00:08:55]  Play Cut 77.
[00:08:57]  Iran gets together with Saudi Arabia through China.
[00:09:01]  And China's taking over.
[00:09:02]  And China, you know, I heard a couple of people say, well, the dollar will never lose the dollar standard.
[00:09:07]  Are they kidding?
[00:09:09]  China wants to change the standard, the currency standard.
[00:09:14]  And if that happens, that's like losing a world war.
[00:09:18]  We'll be a second-tier country.
[00:09:19]  We'll literally be a second-tier country if that happens.
[00:09:22]  We're losing.
[00:09:23]  If we lose our currency, our currency is what makes us powerful and strong.
[00:09:29]  We have a Chinese asset posing as an American president, Joe Biden.
[00:09:34]  And I know many of you are probably wondering, why are they doing this?
[00:09:37]  Why are they doing this?
[00:09:38]  They want the downfall of America.
[00:09:41]  At this point, the comedy of errors are not mistakes.
[00:09:46]  These are intentional courses of action.
[00:09:49]  I do not enjoy saying that.
[00:09:53]  This is an orchestrated takedown of Western civilization.
[00:09:56]  This is a diabolical campaign to destroy America.
[00:09:59]  They are intentionally deconstructing it.
[00:10:01]  The series of decisions they have made.
[00:10:04]  This is not a mistake.
[00:10:06]  This is a campaign of orchestrated actions to destroy the dollar, keep our borders wide open, keep the trans contagion going on TikTok so our kids are confused and mutilating themselves.
[00:10:19]  Joe Biden does not love America.
[00:10:23]  He has not for quite some time.
[00:10:24]  Joe Biden loves Joe Biden.
[00:10:26]  He's loved getting paid by the Chinese Communist Party and his puppet masters in Beijing.
[00:10:31]  Most Republicans do not agree with me.
[00:10:34]  If you ask most Republicans, is this intentional or is this by mistake?
[00:10:38]  They'd say, oh, you know, he's just incompetent.
[00:10:41]  These people are very competent.
[00:10:44]  They are intentionally destroying America.
[00:10:50]  Where have all the mortgage companies gone?
[00:10:52]  With all the here today, gone tomorrow companies out there, it's important to use seasoned mortgage experts with years of experience.
[00:10:58]  Use the company I personally use for my mortgage needs.
[00:11:01]  I've used them, and I could tell you, Andrew Del Rey and Tadavakian at Sierra Pacific Mortgage make the process enjoyable.

[00:11:08]  Yes, they're Christians.

[00:12:28]  That's AndrewandTodd.com.
[00:12:29]  Call 888881172 AndrewandTodd.com.
[00:12:36]  We're receiving a lot of emails, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:12:39]  I want to hear from you.
[00:12:40]  Do you think these people are doing this intentionally or not?
[00:12:42]  And it is a very relevant question.
[00:12:45]  I got to be honest with you, one of the biggest issues facing the Republican Party, and I talk to a lot of people in the Republican Party.
[00:12:51]  I work the phones and people call me and they text me.
[00:12:54]  I'm on good terms with a lot of moderates.
[00:12:56]  And that's fine.
[00:12:56]  A lot of them are good people.
[00:12:57]  They just see the world differently.
[00:12:59]  There are good moderates and there are bad people that I agree with on almost all policy measures.
[00:13:07]  And having, you know, been in the movement for 11 years, you get to know a lot of people.
[00:13:11]  When I talk to moderates, though, it has something I have learned is the biggest difference between how Charlie Kirk, Turning Point, view the world, how you on Real America's Voice view what's happening, and how traditional Chamber of Commerce moderates view things.
[00:13:33]  Yes, of course, there's technical neoliberal differences, but there is a dividing line.

=== Intentional Destruction of America (04:30) ===

[00:13:40]  This is very important.
[00:13:42]  The dividing line is that most moderate Republicans are unwilling to say that the opposition, the enemy, the Democrat Party, are doing what they are doing intentionally.
[00:13:58]  Let's think about that for a second.
[00:13:59]  Why does that matter?
[00:14:01]  Because if you're going up against an enemy, if you're going up against another power, if you're going up against a force, and you think they mean well, you'll treat them completely differently.
[00:14:14]  The turtle thinks Chuck Schumer means well.
[00:14:18]  This is one of the most important dividing lines between the Uniparty in Washington, D.C. and many of you, the American people.
[00:14:26]  You know, we're receiving lots of emails.
[00:14:27]  I'd say thousands of emails, freedom at charliekirk.com.
[00:14:30]  Yes, they're doing it on purpose, but someone says here, Charlie, there's no way it's intentional.
[00:14:33]  Nobody can be this evil.
[00:14:36]  Oh, yeah, people can be this evil.
[00:14:38]  Read 20th century history.
[00:14:39]  They're just getting warmed up.
[00:14:41]  They're just starting their windup.
[00:14:44]  But you look at the dollar issue.
[00:14:46]  Okay, because I think that I personally believe the open border is intentional destruction of America.
[00:14:53]  I could go through a lot of things I think that are intentional destruction of America.
[00:14:56]  There is no argument for what they are doing with the U.S. dollar that you could possibly make the case that they mean well.
[00:15:07]  Now, just so you understand, why does the U.S. dollar as the world reserve currency matter?
[00:15:12]  Well, trillions of dollars are held in reserve accounts and they'll flood back to the United States, which means a massive inflation from that cash influx.
[00:15:21]  We'll lose the ability to sanction bad actors.
[00:15:24]  We'll lose the ability to control global financial markets.
[00:15:27]  We'll lose the ability to police international trade.
[00:15:29]  It's a huge source of our diplomatic power.
[00:15:32]  We can lock countries out of markets.
[00:15:34]  Our sanctions work because our dollars have power.
[00:15:37]  The world, the elite, go into our capital markets first and foremost.
[00:15:42]  The dollar will sink.
[00:15:43]  U.S. interest rates will soar 12, 14, 15, 16% interest rates.
[00:15:50]  A huge amount of U.S. dollars are overseas.
[00:15:52]  And if it declines, demand for dollars drops and we get immediate hyperinflation.
[00:15:58]  Now, think about it, though.
[00:16:02]  We have a $31 trillion debt.
[00:16:05]  How many times have I said on this program that they're going to try to inflate our way out of the debt?
[00:16:09]  Is there a strategy to deal with our $31 trillion debt to have us lose world reserve currency status and get a mass influx?
[00:16:18]  Inflation is a boon to big government actors.
[00:16:22]  They want inflation.
[00:16:24]  The need for dollars overseas is what allows us to create so much money and take on so much debt.
[00:16:30]  We've gotten away with it for 40 years of mega deficits because of our world reserve currency status.
[00:16:36]  You lose reserve status and you have to act like a normal country again.
[00:16:40]  We're not prepared for that.
[00:16:41]  You might say, oh, Charlie, it'd be a good thing.
[00:16:43]  You have no idea.
[00:16:45]  The standard of living in America would crater by 20 or 30%.
[00:16:49]  And yeah, people like me, I would be fine.
[00:16:52]  But you know who won't be fine?
[00:16:53]  The muscular class, plumbers, electricians, welders, police officers, firefighters, people with pensions, 401ks that are dependent on that.
[00:17:01]  The middle class in America, which is already under attack, that is already being suffocated by the world elite, would be struck by a meteorite overnight.
[00:17:12]  The people from East Palestine, from Kiakuk, Iowa, the good folks from South Dakota, anyone with cash savings would be crushed.
[00:17:21]  Donald Trump saying it's like losing a world war is one of the wisest things I have heard a world leader say or somebody say in the last two years.
[00:17:31]  A lot more important than systemic racism or trans rights or gun control or any of these other stupid issues that they're trying to have you focus on.
[00:17:44]  You lose the world reserve currency status.
[00:17:47]  You impoverish your own nation.
[00:17:51]  The fact that our leaders are even flirting with this, that we're even kind of going near this in any way, shows me they do not mean well.
[00:18:00]  It shows me they are actively involved in the suicide of the United States.
[00:18:08]  Are you feeling burned out and a little tired?

=== NAD Supplements for Health (02:56) ===

[00:18:10]  Look, I want to tell you about something that I become a big believer in.
[00:18:12]  And if you do not know about it, you got to research it.
[00:18:15]  You could fact-check me.
[00:18:16]  It's NAD.
[00:18:18]  NAD is a precursor for your body to be able to create ATP, which is basically the life force of everything that you do.
[00:18:25]  And look, there's a lot of people out there that are promising energy and doing all this, but go do some research on NAD and go see actually how incredibly important it is for high performance to be able to go actually get it to the next level.
[00:18:39]  And so what does NAD stand for?
[00:18:41]  Well, try to take a note here.
[00:18:42]  It is nicotinamide adenonide dinucleotide.
[00:18:47]  I did that pretty well, don't you think?
[00:18:49]  NAD.
[00:18:50]  It's a coenzyme that is central to metabolism.
[00:18:53]  Again, don't take my word for it.
[00:18:54]  Go watch a YouTube video or two or three or four and go fact-check me on it.
[00:18:58]  I've been taking NAD for quite some time.
[00:19:00]  And people say, Charlie, how do you travel 2,700 days in a decade?
[00:19:04]  How do you do the 300 days a year?
[00:19:06]  How do you do that?
[00:19:07]  Look, it's not only because of this.
[00:19:08]  I eat well and do other things as well.
[00:19:10]  But if you look at NADH, especially when it combines with CoQ10 and marine collagen, it boosts your body's cellular function.
[00:19:18]  I would never tell you guys to go do something I myself did not do.
[00:19:21]  And Strong Cell has been able to put together a scientific breakthrough in cellular health replenishment that combines NADH, CoQ10, and marine collagen.
[00:19:30]  When you combine them together, you get mental clarity.
[00:19:33]  And that's a must for me.
[00:19:34]  It's not just that.
[00:19:35]  It's for vitality.
[00:19:36]  It helps your immune system.
[00:19:38]  It's all good stuff.
[00:19:39]  So go to strongsell.com forward slash Charlie today and see for yourself.
[00:19:44]  It's not a stimulant.
[00:19:45]  It doesn't contain any caffeine.
[00:19:47]  I'm talking about overall health from the cellular level.
[00:19:49]  NADH has been called the anti-aging enzyme that helps with so many issues like brain fog, short-term memory loss, blood pressure, heart disease, blood sugar retention, and so much more.
[00:20:00]  And look, it's not a magic pill.
[00:20:01]  It's like, oh, I'm going to start taking this and I'm going to be super smart.
[00:20:03]  No, no, it's an additive, an amplifier on people that want to get better.
[00:20:08]  But I can tell you, it makes a big difference.
[00:20:11]  I've personally seen undeniable benefits from taking Strong Cell and engaging with NAD every day.
[00:20:16]  So I had to partner with them.
[00:20:17]  I vetted them.

=== Partnering with StrongSell (15:30) ===

[00:21:07]  In most circumstances, I will say, you know what?
[00:21:10]  Stupidity and ineptitude are usually to blame for when things go wrong, typically in life.
[00:21:20]  There's a great scene.
[00:21:21]  Ryan, get it, please, in Seinfeld.
[00:21:25]  All roads lead to Seinfeld at some point, where Uncle Leo and Jerry are sitting in a diner.
[00:21:32]  And Uncle Leo gets a sandwich and it's not the way he likes it.
[00:21:37]  And he goes to Jerry and he says, that cook is probably an anti-Semite.
[00:21:41]  And it's, of course, what makes Seinfeld so brilliant.
[00:21:44]  It's Upper Eastside Jews making fun of Upper Eastside Jewish culture.
[00:21:48]  It's self-deprecation.
[00:21:49]  That's Larry David's words, not my own.
[00:21:51]  So it's hilarious, right?
[00:21:52]  The point is that, no, the chef is probably not an anti-Semite.
[00:21:56]  He was probably just inept or clumsy.
[00:21:59]  In most circumstances, there is not an agenda or a nefarious campaign to undercook your meat or to try to have that.
[00:22:10]  That does happen at times.
[00:22:12]  But I'll be very honest.
[00:22:14]  That is my general rule for when things go wrong.
[00:22:18]  It's a general rule when things are not the way they should be.
[00:22:22]  There is no such explanation when it comes to the obliteration of the dollar as the world reserve currency.
[00:22:31]  This is not stupidity.
[00:22:33]  This is not the benefit of the doubt times.
[00:22:35]  This is sabotage.
[00:22:36]  This is obliteration.
[00:22:38]  This is an attempt to usher in a new world order, a great reset, something from Davos or Klaus Schwab.
[00:22:47]  Exactly what that is, we have little bits and pieces.
[00:22:50]  Nobody knows the whole picture.
[00:22:51]  If anybody tells you I got the whole picture, they're puffing out their chest.
[00:22:58]  When something goes wrong, usually in life, there's a flight delay, you get food poisoning, you're probably not on the receiving end of a sabotage campaign.
[00:23:10]  Ineptitude or just stupidity or laziness is usually to blame.
[00:23:15]  That does not apply.
[00:23:17]  There is no such argument somebody can make with the downfall and the erosion of the dollar as the world reserve currency.
[00:23:26]  Imports would become much more expensive.
[00:23:28]  If foreign investors dump U.S. government bonds, it would drive up inflation and borrowing would become much more expensive.
[00:23:34]  Commodities are also traded in dollars, and therefore the price would rise quickly and reduce the value of U.S. assets and equities.
[00:23:41]  But still, the only place most investors will trust to put large investments into safe havens remains the U.S. capital markets.
[00:23:49]  But China is trying to change that.
[00:23:51]  And our leaders are complicit and working in harmony with China to get this done.
[00:23:59]  There's a lot of opinions in our audience about Donald Trump.
[00:24:01]  The vast majority of you are supporting him for presidency, as I am in 2024.
[00:24:06]  You never know what you're going to get in a Trump interview.
[00:24:09]  It's always entertaining.
[00:24:11]  You don't know if he's going to spend a lot of time on Stormy Daniels and all this.
[00:24:14]  It just so happens the stars aligned in a certain way, sat down with Tucker Carlson.
[00:24:20]  Maybe there was a great pre-interview chat.
[00:24:23]  That this conversation with Tucker Carlson was one of the deepest policy conversations I've seen Donald Trump make in years.
[00:24:33]  In fact, one of the deepest policy conversations I've seen a leader make in years.
[00:24:38]  You could bring the buffoons of George W. Bush and Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, and you could have former presidents lined up, and they would all pander the same sort of neoliberal garbage.
[00:24:50]  Barack Obama.
[00:24:51]  Yeah, what we need to do is make sure we support the people in Ukraine to defend our democracy.
[00:25:04]  George Bush would call for an all-out invasion of another sovereign country.
[00:25:11]  Bill Clinton would do what Bill Clinton does.
[00:25:16]  The point is that it would just be there would be no substance.
[00:25:17]  It would be so shallow.
[00:25:19]  It would be devoid of any sort of complex thinking.
[00:25:23]  And again, I know we get lots of emails.
[00:25:25]  People are upset.
[00:25:26]  I don't like Trump's tone.
[00:25:27]  And we get thousands of emails about this.
[00:25:28]  Charlie, I wish he wouldn't do this and all that.
[00:25:30]  Fine.
[00:25:31]  I encourage you to check out this entire conversation with Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump.
[00:25:40]  There's one in particular where I watched the clip four times and I said, this here is a masterclass.
[00:25:47]  I am willing, not only willing, I'm supporting him enthusiastically for 2024.
[00:25:52]  But you should be willing to say, all right, all these other things aside, this one-minute clip of how he dealt with the beta male running France, Emmanuel Macron, should take your breath away and say, oh my goodness, we had it pretty good.
[00:26:12]  There is more wisdom in this one clip.
[00:26:14]  I could do a whole hour riffing on it.
[00:26:16]  And again, you guys know that we have said, you know, Trump should have done better with COVID and Fauci and the vaccine and all this, but you got to be honest, everybody.
[00:26:25]  This is Trump at his best.
[00:26:27]  High stakes deal, negotiations, leverage, geopolitics, one-on-one negotiation.
[00:26:34]  Nobody better.
[00:26:35]  The best in a century, period.
[00:26:37]  The best president in the century, maybe in American history, on the international geopolitical deal.
[00:26:42]  It's not just the art of the deal.
[00:26:43]  It's the art of saving America.
[00:26:46]  So while this regime, Biden, Cammie, Janet Yellen, woke grandma, Tony Blink, and the failed punk rocker, they're destroying intentionally America's World Reserve currency status.
[00:27:02]  It was this kind of amazing emergence of hope that popped up because I'll be honest, I watched the Tucker interview, and you walk into things with expectations.
[00:27:10]  A good rule for life is to get rid of all your expectations.
[00:27:13]  But it's hard to do that.
[00:27:14]  I was like, okay, this is going to be bashing Michael Cohen and Alvin Bragg and all this.
[00:27:18]  And Donald Trump did a little bit of it.
[00:27:20]  And then he just detoured into this hour-long monologue recounting how he was able to negotiate better deals.
[00:27:28]  And you kind of were like, this should have been the 2020 campaign.
[00:27:33]  This is him at his best.
[00:27:35]  Focused, tough, unapologetic, intense, honest.
[00:27:43]  Okay, so this is Cut 79 ready to go.
[00:27:49]  Actually, I think it's 78 and then 79.
[00:27:51]  Yeah, so 78.
[00:27:52]  So basically, Donald Trump takes us back in time.
[00:27:55]  I've never heard this story, and I've heard almost, I've heard the chocolate cake Syrian missile story.
[00:28:00]  I've heard, you know, the generals in the Bagram Air Force.
[00:28:04]  You know, you go to enough Trump events, you hear the stories.
[00:28:08]  Never heard this one, though.
[00:28:09]  This was a new one, which was the Macron champagne wine story.
[00:28:16]  And I wish this story would be told more often.
[00:28:18]  It's a microcosm of what we're missing and a 180-degree difference of the cabal of criminals that are intentionally destroying America.
[00:28:29]  And honestly, the more that these criminals destroy America, the more I roll my eyes when I have to get text messages.
[00:28:35]  Charlie, I don't think I like Donald Trump's tone.
[00:28:39]  You don't like his tone?
[00:28:42]  You got a choice, man.
[00:28:44]  Let the primary play out, I guess.
[00:28:47]  Okay?
[00:28:48]  Maybe you're going to go support Asa Hutchinson.
[00:28:50]  Donald Trump is almost assuredly going to be the nominee.
[00:28:54]  You got the Biden cabal, but then you got this little picture of what we had.
[00:28:58]  And were we thankful when we had this?
[00:29:01]  Most Americans weren't.
[00:29:02]  I know I certainly was.
[00:29:04]  All right, let's get to it.
[00:29:05]  Cut 78.
[00:29:06]  Donald Trump talking about how Steve Mnuchin was not able to make a deal with the French.
[00:29:10]  And this is true.
[00:29:10]  The French are notoriously difficult negotiators, especially when it comes to exports from France and protecting their own industry.
[00:29:19]  They are protectionists.
[00:29:21]  Galore.
[00:29:22]  Play Cut 78.
[00:29:24]  Then you see France going over.
[00:29:27]  What's going on?
[00:29:28]  Steve Mnuchin, a good guy, was unable to make a deal with France.
[00:29:32]  France is very difficult, I will tell you.
[00:29:34]  Yeah, they're all difficult because every country rips us off.
[00:29:37]  But France is in particular very difficult.
[00:29:41]  And you probably heard where they want to charge American companies substantial tax to do business in France.
[00:29:46]  So I had Mnuchin working on it and other people working.
[00:29:50]  They were unable to do it.
[00:29:51]  They called me back just for a couple of months.
[00:29:54]  They could not do it.
[00:29:56]  So it's true.
[00:29:58]  France has a, for all of France's problems, I have to tell you, I have admiration for how France wants to protect their language, parts of their, I mean, I don't like their hedonistic culture, but they have an identity in France and they're worried about losing it.
[00:30:16]  And there are core industries that they do not want to lose.
[00:30:20]  Specifically, obviously, champagne and wine.
[00:30:22]  And I just find it hilarious because, of course, Donald Trump immediately goes.
[00:30:25]  He could go on the edges, right?
[00:30:26]  He could go to some other kind of fringe industry.
[00:30:28]  He goes right to the core.
[00:30:31]  This would be like going to semiconductors for Taiwan.
[00:30:34]  This would be like going to Toyota for Japan.
[00:30:38]  I mean, he goes straight to the moneymaker, the job-creating engine.
[00:30:43]  And we're low on time on this segment.
[00:30:44]  I know I'm doing a big lead up because it's important.
[00:30:47]  It should give you a glimmer of hope that if Trump can win again, this thing can get turned around immediately.
[00:30:52]  It should give you a blueprint of what a negotiation looks like when you have a leader that loves America versus one that's purchased by the CCP and has bitter contempt for America, like Joe Biden does.
[00:31:04]  And basically, and we're going to go through the tape.
[00:31:07]  Donald Trump talks about how when he talked about Macron, I can't tell you this.
[00:31:12]  I mean, I was going to use a certain anatomy term.
[00:31:15]  Let's just say the spine, the spine and the stones that it takes to do this, to basically call up Emmanuel Macron and say, yeah, you don't fix this?
[00:31:26]  100% tariff on champagne.
[00:31:27]  100% tariff on wine.
[00:31:30]  And the French have been ripping us off for a long time.
[00:31:33]  By the way, the Indians do this to Harley-Davidson.
[00:31:36]  There's a very famous and very well-known Indian motorcycle company.
[00:31:41]  I think it's called the Indian Motorcycle Company.
[00:31:43]  They have 100% tariff.
[00:31:44]  They don't allow Harley-Davidsons in.
[00:31:46]  Same with Toyota and Japan.
[00:31:48]  Same with Germany and Porsche, Germany and Bayer, Germany and Volkswagen, Germany and Mercedes-Benz.
[00:31:56]  Donald Trump said, okay, well, two can play at this game.
[00:31:58]  We're done getting ripped off.
[00:31:59]  Cut 79, able to get France to end the tax on American businesses, play Cut 79.
[00:32:07]  I said, let me have Macron get him on the phone.
[00:32:09]  I said, listen, I understand you're going to tax American companies for doing business in France.
[00:32:14]  Here's the story.
[00:32:16]  On Monday morning, if you don't drop this, on Monday morning, it was Friday, I'm going to put a 100% tariff on every bottle of champagne and every bottle of wine that comes into the United States of America.
[00:32:30]  He says, no, no, no, that's not fair.
[00:32:33]  I said, of course it's fair.
[00:32:34]  You're charging American companies for going to France and doing business in France, a very big tax.
[00:32:40]  So all of your wine, very good wine, but I think we make wine that's just as good.
[00:32:45]  All of your wine and all of your champagne that comes in, I'm putting a 100% tax on.
[00:32:52]  That's it.
[00:32:53]  So good luck.
[00:32:53]  Monday morning at 9 o'clock.
[00:32:56]  That was it.
[00:32:57]  I get a call back 15 minutes later.
[00:32:59]  We've decided we're not going to charge American companies.
[00:33:03]  But do you know what happened?
[00:33:05]  Once I left, now they're charging them.
[00:33:07]  Yep, now that Joe Biden is in charge and his regime, they're charging their tax in there.
[00:33:13]  They're just ripping us off.
[00:33:14]  But you know what I love about that story?
[00:33:15]  It's so extreme.
[00:33:17]  It's so over the top.
[00:33:18]  And it goes to the sacred industry of the French economy.
[00:33:23]  Now, there are several sacred industries.
[00:33:24]  He could have gone after Louis Vuitton.
[00:33:26]  But just wine and champagne.
[00:33:27]  It just is so, it's a luxury that Americans import a fair amount of.
[00:33:35]  And by the way, France has done many things themselves.
[00:33:39]  Japan once tried to block imports of French snow skis because, quote, Japanese snow is different.
[00:33:44]  So France said they would block imports of Japanese motorcycles because French roads are different and Japan backed down.
[00:33:50]  You need a negotiator.
[00:33:52]  And we are, why does that clip matter now?
[00:33:56]  If Donald Trump was president and the 2020 election was not the drive-by shooting the American Constitution that it was, we would not be losing our World Reserve currency status.
[00:34:06]  I cannot put into words how critical, how fire alarm, five alarm fire it is that if we lose our world reserve currency status, and that is exactly what they're doing, they are trying to go to a currency reset, CBDC, central bank digital currency, to eliminate the currency as we know it.
[00:34:26]  This is the big game, the massive game.
[00:34:31]  And in one phone call, Donald Trump changed the entire geopolitics of just one deal with France.
[00:34:36]  And I was just laughing because, of course, he goes after champagne and wine.
[00:34:40]  Of course, obviously.
[00:34:41]  And Macron was probably so offended, like, you do not talk to me like this, Mr. President.
[00:34:45]  Like, oh, yeah, really?
[00:34:46]  Monday, 9 a.m.
[00:34:48]  See you later, pal.
[00:34:51]  The world was stable when he was president.
[00:34:57]  Right now, the world is falling apart.
[00:34:59]  And that's not an exaggeration.
[00:35:02]  You cannot do what they are doing by mistake.
[00:35:08]  Because when you make a mistake, there's an error that you could actually do something right.
[00:35:12]  They haven't done a single thing right.
[00:35:15]  From the withdrawal of Afghanistan, 5,000 people coming across our border every single day, to the massive deficits that we're posting.
[00:35:25]  No, it's a sabotage campaign.
[00:35:28]  And most Republicans that you send to Washington, D.C., most Republicans that represent you, not only are they unwilling to say it, but they don't believe that it's intentional.
[00:35:43]  They still think that Democrats somehow mean well.
[00:35:52]  These people are active co-conspirators and participants in the slitting of the throat of America.
[00:35:58]  It's not a coincidence.
[00:36:00]  They enjoy it.
[00:36:01]  They get a thrill of it.
[00:36:02]  Not all of them are as vocal as they should be.
[00:36:06]  I mean, Elon Omar and AOC, of course, they hate America.
[00:36:09]  But it goes all the way on down the entire gamut.
[00:36:11]  They want a different America.
[00:36:13]  A strong and prosperous America is not something they're interested in.
[00:36:18]  It's never been what they're interested in.
[00:36:21]  So there's something that we have to do.
[00:36:25]  A lot we have to do.
[00:36:27]  But it really does beg the question as we proceed, why do Republicans continually think that they're dealing with an opposition that means well?

=== Rejecting the Truth (00:42) ===

[00:36:37]  I don't know.
[00:36:39]  Is it cowardice?
[00:36:40]  Is it weakness?
[00:36:41]  And I think my theory rests this as we close out this hour, is that they're afraid what it would mean for their comfort if they actually believed what was right in front of them.
[00:36:52]  You know, we talk a lot about how ignorance is bliss.
[00:36:54]  There's so much truth to that.
[00:36:56]  People will intentionally reject the truth in front of them.
[00:36:59]  It means they might have to get a little uncomfortable.
[00:37:02]  The truth will set you free, but there's certainly some turbulence between serfdom and freedom.
