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.

We'll have Steve Bannon join us, mostly on the Tucker issue.
That's really what I want to dive into.
But also, he has an idea of a unity ticket as well.
I want to play a piece of tape here.
Alexandria Casio-Cotez, where she's basically bragging that she got Tucker fired.
It's very strange, AOC doing this.
She says that deplatforming works and it is important.
It's a very weird camera angle.
The whole thing is very bizarre.
Play cut 25.
While I'm very glad that the person that is arguably responsible for some of the largest driving, some of the most amounts of death threats and violent threats, not just to my office, but to plenty of people across the country.
I also kind of feel like I'm like waiting for the cutscene at the end of a Marvel movie after all the credits have rolled.
And then you see like the villain's like hand re-emerge out to grip over like the end of a building or something.
But deplatforming works and it is important.
And there you go.
Good things can happen.
Another insightful comment from Alexandria Casio-Cotez.
Deplatforming works, she says.
Reminder, AOC is just some horrible 30-year-old liberal who happens to be in a congressional seat that she flukely won.
And just always remember that.
She's not smart.
She's not deep.
She used to be radical, but now she is mainstream.
AOC is a perfect example of what I mentioned in The Last Hour, which is the economic Marxists that have made a deal with the oligarchs on the woke stuff.
Steve Bannon is with us.
Steve, welcome to the program.
Steve, you have some strong thoughts on Tucker Carlson's departure from Fox News.
Let it rip.
Yeah, Charlie, I think it's pretty obvious.
I mean, the Wall Street Journalists owned by the Murdoch have kind of been leaking pieces of this in separate stories in the New York Times.
Also, I mean, Tucker is under contract.
I think he's the highest paid by far person, not just at Fox, but in all mainstream cable news.
And he was negotiating, his agents and lawyers were negotiating an extension of his contract through 2029 when this happened.
So put that opinion in that.
He was negotiating extension of this massive contract.
I think it's pretty clear, particularly the way they did it and showed no respect to him.
They blow him out.
But remember, the way these cable contracts are written as a personality, the last thing they want to allow you to do is go be to go to a competitor.
So the way these contracts are written is they can take you off air.
They can essentially, we parted ways.
But as long as they meet the terms of the contract and paying you, and my understanding is Tucker's deal is not $10 million.
That was his old deal.
His new deal is $20 million per year.
As long as they pay Tucker, and I think this contract, and what I'm told, runs a couple of years, they've taken him off.
What the Murdoch have done is taken the populist voice, the anti-Ukraine voice, the anti-uniparty voice, really the platform in mainstream media and prime time, the only voice out there of populist nationalism, right?
It's like getting War Room and Charlie Kirk roll up into one in one hour on a mainstream platform.
They've taken it off through the 2024 election, which as I've said from day one is what the Murdoch's plan here is.
I think what they're going to do, and look, we'll see in the next couple of days, is that they're going to tell Tucker, we're going to force a contract.
We're going to pay you $20 million, but, you know, you can go do what you want to do.
Start a new network, start a new show, start a podcast because Tucker could do anything right now, obviously.
You can do that when the contract runs out, I don't know, sometime in 24 or 25.
That's what I think is going on.
That's why I think they showed him no respect.
And this is, I want to put anybody that tells me, and people would tell me all the time, oh, you're too harsh on Fox.
Lachlan's actually a conservative.
No, Lachlan is not a conservative.
The Murdochs are foreigners.
They think like foreigners.
This is all about money and power.
Lachlan Murdoch with his old man were the two guys that pulled the trigger on this, taking orders from his father.
And what they're trying to do is suppress the platform and the voice of populist nationalism in our country.
Was it too many effective hits on target, Steve?
The vaccine, Bobby Kennedy, Ukraine war.
I mean, it's almost every issue.
J6.
I mean, when you're on those mainstream networks, Steve, you're talking about it.
It's, look, it's exactly what we cover in the war room and cover in the Charlie Kirk show.
But we play to a different audience.
We are an activist base.
You're an activist base.
Our audience is deep into this.
The power of Tucker Carlson, not just was the more general Republican Party and conservative base, he was bringing in really the Tim Poole crowd over to Fox.
I mean, the big advantage what he had of O'Reilly and Megan Kelly, because what they're arguing and telling the Wall Street guys right now is that, look, his audience was up 10%, but it wasn't dramatically different than O'Reilly and Meggie Kelly, which was the other.
That's just not true.
He was bringing in a whole group of people, and many of whom are just not that active in politics.
And he hit every big topic.
I mean, from Wuhan Lab to every, I mean, look, I loved watching Tucker.
I watched it, you know, and this is after doing four years of War Room.
I would get a kick out of watching because his take on things and his presentation skills are very different than Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon and others.
We're very hard up in your grill.
He's very watchful.
Our audience loves it.
Yes.
Why?
Because our audience is the hoplites, right?
Tucker was talking to a totally different audience.
And I've spoken to so many conservatives and particularly people who vote Republican, but it's just not engaged in politics.
They would watch Tucker Carlson religiously every night and come back to me and say, hey, I finally understand what you guys are talking about.
Because Tucker talked about it in a more accessible way.
That's the power of Tucker Carlson.
The intellect with 25 years of skills.
You know, Charlie, you and I come from different backgrounds and different professions of what we've done.
Tucker has been doing this for 25 years.
He's a professional broadcaster at a very serious level.
And he knows how to make these things accessible to people.
That was the power of Tucker Carlson.
And that's the power.
The Murdoch, look, the Murdoch populist nationalism to win.
They are neoliberal.
Okay, they're all about money and power.
And what they did, and they showed no respect to the audience.
They showed no respect to the Trump movement.
They showed no respect to the president.
And particularly with Tucker, that audience and that faithful, loyal audience he has absolutely no respect to tell a guy 10 minutes before you put out a press release and not to even let you come back and have a week or two of shows, but to say your last show is Friday, just up in your grill, screw them.
And they did that on purpose.
Their fear was going into 2024.
And I said this at CPAC.
I said they're going to use DeSantis today.
They're going to use Youngkin tomorrow.
They're going to use Tim Scott.
They're going to use any tool they can get their hands on to stop Trump.
And if they don't do that, they're going to back the Biden or the Michelle Obama or whoever it is to stop Trump because Trump represents populist nationalism in this country.
And now they've actually hurt themselves economically by taking Tucker Carlson off.
That shows you a signal to your audience of how much they fear the audience of how much they fear the audience of Real America Voice, and particularly those ideas seeping into a more mainstream audience.
That's why Tucker Carlson is pulled.
And I think you're going to see a huge fight with them trying to keep Tucker Carlson from starting his own network, going either the news maps or one America or Real American Voice, starting his own podcast, whatever he is to get his message out.
They will fight tooth and nail to stop that because what they're trying to do is take his platform away at least through 2025.
So, Steve, one minute really quick.
Do you think that Fox is going to be able to survive this if this kind of attack on their own audience?
Is their business model sustainable?
I think they're going to go to some centrist audience.
Look, remember, most of their audience is over 75 years old.
It just has it up there as white noise.
So, yes, I think they will survive.
I think their earnings will be down.
I think their cash flow will be down.
But I think they'll go to the center.
They'll become centrists.
If you look at the voting score of the CPAC analysis today, all those senators in the 50s, the Mitch McConnell's up, they're going to push neoliberal neocon with a smiley face.
And yes, I think they will survive.
But I think if we play our cards right, they'll take a major economic and more important political hit.
There's a huge opportunity.
Steve, Steve, Donald Trump just posted saying, okay, everyone's talking about debates.
No one ran it by me.
Why even do these debates?
Steve, do you think Donald Trump should participate in these debates?
By the way, the first co-sponsor is Fox.
We don't know the other ones.
It could be Washington Post, CNN.
Should Trump even participate?
Absolutely not.
Not even, not even.
Why is he participating?
This is not a primary.
Every poll day, none of the polls out today is up 37, 40%.
Why should he give the Keebler Elves?
Why should he give the Keebler Elves any air?
He shouldn't.
It's ridiculous.
And I thought, look, this is not just Rana.
Dave Bossi, who's a dear friend of mine, like a brother to me, one of the best guys out there.
I don't understand what they're doing on these debates.
And I don't understand why President Trump's not the first guy to sit down with and get clear.
I just don't see any need for a debate.
The DNC the other day said Bobby Kennedy's at 17%.
And before he announces, and he's driving a real message in that campaign, Biden, 70% of Americans don't want him to run again.
Very high among Democrats.
The DNC comes out and says, we are not having any debates.
Full stop, end of story.
You know why?
Because the DNC Democrats play smash mouth.
And the Republicans are all, you know, wandering around to the tune of the donor.
Screw the donors.
President Trump, my strongest recommendation to President Trump, he should never, the only person you get on a debate stage with is the Democratic nominee, whether that is Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom or Joe Biden or Cleveland Harris, whoever it is.
Steve, he debates that.
He debates that.
Not nobody else.
We're in total harmony.
I spent the whole last hour saying the primary is over and the primary.
He's going to be the nominee, whether it's by 40 points or 80 points.
He's going to be the nominee.
Shouldn't we be investing in early states, signature verification, law fair, going to do the Elias thing, playing offense in the key states, not having some sort of debate with a 2% candidate who tries to get a book deal against Donald Trump so that they can get questions asked to them by NBC, right?
That's a total scandal.
Hold on, first up, you've got CBS News has got Asa Hutchinson, who is at 0.0, leading off faces.
No, listen, this is all Democrats and our enemies trying to hold up, guys.
You're exactly right.
We got to get into the ballot harvesting, the ballot generation, early state.
We ought to hire Mark Elias and get on with it.
If we don't win this, the game's over.
And I don't, and we can't, we're not going to win it with what, Asa Hutchinson, Chris Christie, or Kemp or Youngkin or Tim Scott, whoever is the next, whoever's the next, you know, Ron DeSantis, because he's flamed out.
We don't have a primary, and we're not going to have a primary.
And President Trump, I think, is just the audacity to go to the Reagan Library run by the guy that is the Washington Post's publisher.
Frederick Ryan.
Do that.
Yep.
It's a joke.
But it's not a surprise.
This is the RNC.
Yeah.
It's an insult to the president.
It's an insult to the president.
It's an insult to MAGA.
It's an insult to all the volunteers.
Full stop.
No debates.
The only piercing debates is whoever the Democratic nominee is.
That's right.
And end the primary, build the machine, play to win, build the infrastructure.
Steve, you have a provocative idea that I find interesting.
I want you to make the case.
You say unity ticket, Trump Kennedy.
Tell us about it.
Look, look, I would love Carrie Lake or maybe one of these powerful women to be his vice president.
However, I see a very compelling reason, although I know Bobby Kennedy's terrible on guns.
He ain't great on Ukraine.
But he talks about going after the administrative and deep state in a very significant way, led by the pharmaceutical industry.
If we put together a unity ticket of Trump and Kennedy, it would be insurmountable.
We would bring over many of the populists on the left, many of the people that don't agree, Charlie, with Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon and Donald J. Trump.
But that's what a unity ticket is.
And I think we could get two-thirds to 70% of the American people and back of what we have to do and taking on the Chinese County's Party, taking on the deep state, taking on big pharma, taking on big tech, taking on big media.
Everybody that's trying to, it shouldn't be lost on people.
Bobby Kennedy comes on Tucker last week and has a throwdown interview.
And next thing you know, Tucker Carlson's given the bums run the best and biggest show in the history of Fox.
O'Wally wasn't bigger.
Megan Kelly wasn't bigger.
Kennedy, the top of his game's not bigger.
Glenn Beck was not there.
They gave him the bums rush.
Didn't even show him the courtesy of letting him announce this on his own due time and having a couple of shows for his audience to take care of his goodbyes.
Gave him the bums rush.
And one of the last big interviews he did was with Bobby Kennedy.
That's how much they fear that platform.
That's how much they fear the voice of Bobby Kennedy.
If you put Kennedy and Trump together, that's the dynamic doing.
And people, I understand there's a lot of issues that separate us, but there's enough that unites us that could take on the administrative.
Free Speech Under Attack 00:08:42
Well, I mean, the fourth branch of government, the Leviathan, I think is the number one issue when it comes to policy for the next Republican president if we're able to win.
Steve, God bless you.
Thanks for your commentary and courage.
Thanks so much.
Thanks, Charlie.
Appreciate it.
And we got to get Charlie Kirk to work to put this thing together.
Thank you, brother.
Amen.
That's what we're doing at Turning Point Action.
We're trying to build that machine every day.
Three states, seven counties.
Let's focus on what matters.
Ignore the noise.
Focus on us winning because currently we're behind in the ballgame.
I don't know about you, but it takes a lot to shock me these days.
To see our judicial system resemble a third world banana republic, to see trusted American companies embrace insane and destructive woke ideologies is sometimes depressing.
We must fight back, and that starts with changing the way we spend our money.
For years, big mobile companies have been dumping millions into leftist causes, and we had to take it because another option did not exist.
Well, now it does.

Joining us now is Mike Davis.
Mike Davis is a great man, and I want to get Mike's initial reaction on Tucker Carlson Fox News.
Mike, what's your take?
It's shocking.
You know, Tucker was the biggest personality at Fox News, so it's very shocking that he left.
And I don't know the, obviously, we don't know all the details.
There could be a lot more that happened behind the scenes than what's been reported, but it's not good for free speech.
That people, if it has anything to do with this defamation lawsuit by Dominion, it's really bad for free speech in this country if a company can sue a news organization based upon accurately reporting what one side alleges and what the other side denies.
That's called journalism.
And Fox News can afford to pay a $785 million settlement to make this BS claim go away by Dominion.
But I don't know if other news organizations can afford that.
I don't know if they have the deep pockets that Fox has.
And so, you know, the liberals are laughing now about this, but it could very quickly come back and bite them down the road.
For example, what if Donald Trump decided to sue CNN and MSNBC for airing the clearly defamatory, bogus Russian collusion allegations against Trump?
I mean, this is a pretty dangerous path the media is heading down, and it's not good for free speech or free press in this country.
So, help me understand, though, why is it that Fox was quick to try to settle?
Were they afraid of the jury selection?
They did not, I don't understand.
And maybe you're the lawyer, you can help me understand how you're a talk show host and you ask questions and you critically try to find the truth about topics that people are curious about.
How is that not protected speech?
I mean, is the crux of it the private text messages by Tucker Carlson that maybe could have been interpreted?
But even though Tucker was saying, I don't believe these guests, I have them dead to rights, you're not allowed to have those people on your show.
Help me understand it.
Well, I'm not just so it's very clear.
I'm not Fox's attorney here, but I would just say from the outside, it looks like they probably got a bad judge and a bad jury up in Delaware because they settled this case after the jury was impaneled.
So, maybe they got a bad jury and they figured that we're gonna go through a trial that's gonna bloody the brand.
You're gonna get some bogus jury award from some activist jury, and it's gonna, you're gonna have to take this all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court to get it reversed.
And you have months and months, maybe years of damage to the brand during this process, you're ultimately going to win, but it's going to be a pyrrhic victory, right?
I mean, what's the point of letting your brand get destroyed for several years while you ultimately win at the U.S. Supreme Court and you've lost, you know, your brand is destroyed in the process.
So I don't know why they settled, but if I just objectively looking at that, at this, that is the best explanation that I can think of.
Yeah.
And but then also to can your top person and then pay $700 million.
It's very, it's very confusing to me.
And it sets a bad precedent for free speech, a bad precedent for people that come after hosts like us and like others.
It just, it doesn't make any something here is missing.
And I think we'll find out as we proceed.
So there's a lot of news right now, you know, outside of all the top-level stuff on the Supreme Court.
The left is going after Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsett.
Your thoughts, Mike?
This is part of a campaign by the left.
President Trump transformed the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts of appeals, these crucial courts.
Trump transformed them for the first time in 90 years to constitutionalist majorities.
You never heard about any of these ethics issues or any of these other issues that Democrats are bringing up now as part of their organized campaign to go after the justices.
You only hear about it now because the left is trying to delegitimize the Supreme Court so they can destroy the Supreme Court with court packing, impeachment term limits.
They hate the fact that the Supreme Court is the last line of defense that keeps the Democrat politicians in check.
And if you get rid of this constitutionalist Supreme Court, hell, we could have COVID mandates for the rest of our lives and COVID IDs and everything else that the Marxist left wants to do.
So this is all bogus.
This is part of an organized Democrat campaign to delegitimize the Supreme Court.
Do you think they're going to try to impeach Clarence Thomas?
I think if these radicals get enough Senate seats, they're going to try to do an impeachment hearing of Clarence Thomas.
Clarence Thomas is very similar to Donald Trump, where they believe that person should never have been in that position.
From Clarence Thomas in the early 90s or those hearings that Joe Biden chaired to Donald Trump winning in 2016, very similar.
There is this pent up, just unceasing, never, never disappearing resentment for both Clarence Thomas and Donald Trump.
Do you think they're going to try to impeach him?
I hope the Democrats are stupid enough to try to do that.
That will guarantee that President Trump is back in the White House in January of 2025.
It will guarantee the Republicans win back a sizable majority in the Senate.
It will guarantee Republicans keep the House.
So I hope Democrats overplay their hand.
Remember, the Democrats have hated Clarence Thomas for 40 years since Clarence Thomas escaped the Democrat plantation.
And they have hated Clarence Thomas since he's been on the Supreme Court for 31 years.
And they've tried to chase him off the Supreme Court for 31 years.
They hate him.
They hate the fact that he is a conservative black man who thinks for himself.
And that is very dangerous to the Democrats.
You know, Democrats, they run on coalitions.
They can't run on the fact that they're Marxist and want to destroy our country.
So they run on coalitions.
And black Americans make up 13% of the population.
Democrats win 95% of the black vote.
And people say, well, Republicans are never going to win the black vote.
If Democrats only win 85% of the black vote instead of 95%, that is a 1.3% swing in the national election.
That changes presidential outcomes.
And Democrats know this.
That's why they show no mercy to black Americans and other minorities who escape their plantation.
They punish them severely.
And they've been doing this to Clarence Thomas for 40 years.
They're going after them relentlessly, but there's a lot of a conflict of interest from, if I remember, with Kagan, with Obamacare.
It's not as if the liberal justices are scot-free here.
I mean, you have Katangi Brown Jackson, who's a moron, who can't even tell you what a woman is.
It's just, it's an incredible set of circumstances and events here.
Garland and the Hunter Biden Probe 00:03:09
And so, so, Mike, give us a little bit of an update as you see it legislatively right now with oversight, Congress, whether it be big tech.
Are you seeing any of the breakthroughs that we hoped from this new Congress for oversight weaponization of government committee?
So, let me tell you about Jim Jordan.
I was a loud vocal critic of Jim Jordan for several years because of his position on big tech.
And I still am a critic of Jim Jordan on big tech.
And I welcome converts to the big tech fight, the antitrust fight against Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple.
We have to break up their gatekeeping power over information and commerce.
I was a critic of Jim Jordan when he got off to a slow and bumpy start on his oversight, but I have quickly turned into a big fan of Jim Jordan on his oversight.
He is doing fantastic work.
He's firing on all cylinders.
He's particularly doing a good job with Alvin Bragg's bogus, unprecedented indictment of Trump up in New York.
And but for Jim Jordan issuing letters and subpoenas to expose that, to blow open that this is a political prosecution, they would have just railroaded Trump and we would have had the other George Soros-funded and Democrat DAs around the country following suit.
So my hats off to Jim Jordan for what he's doing with Alvin Bragg.
That's great to hear.
What other investigative breakthroughs do you think we can expect soon?
I mean, there's a lot that needs to happen with the FBI.
And I mean, we're still asking for answers on CDC and Fauci.
What else do you think we can expect sometime soon?
I think the biggest bombshell coming is this IRS whistleblower who, according to the news reports, has evidence that Attorney General Merrick Garland has been blocking U.S. Attorney David Weiss's investigation of Hunter Biden and therefore Joe Biden up in Delaware.
There is evidence, according to this news reporting, that Hunter Biden committed at least four crimes: one with tax evasion, foreign corruption, with his Chinese and Ukrainian illegal corrupt deals and a gun charge.
And this ties directly back to Joe Biden, 10% to the big guy.
David Weiss has had evidence up in Delaware, the U.S. Attorney up in Delaware.
They say he's a Trump U.S. attorney.
Look, I ran the confirmation process for then Chairman Shuck Grassley.
This is the hand-selected U.S. attorney by the two Democrat U.S. senators in Delaware.
That's how it works.
The home state senators pick the U.S. attorney.
And so this guy has, he's nonpartisan, non-political.
He's had evidence for a year that Hunter Biden committed these crimes and Joe Biden's tied to this.
And Merrick Garland's been covering this up for a year.
When this whistleblower gets his protection and comes forward, I think it's going to be the end of Merrick Garland's career.
And it could be the beginning of the end of Joe Biden's presidency.
I think that the Weaponization of Government Committee needs to go back and get the footage they gave to Tucker Carlson that now we don't know where it is and we got to make all the January 6th footage public.
I think that part of the removal of Tucker Carlson is the January 6th stuff.
I really think so.
There's something there.
The incredible backlash he received for that is really extraordinary.
The End of Merrick Garland 00:02:19
Mike, thank you so much.
Thank you, Charlie.
Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

You got to wonder what motivated the decision over this happened really quick.
Tucker Friday, boom.
By Monday, he's out.
And the replacement last evening, Brian Kilmead, a good man.
It's a tough job.
I feel bad for Brian.
No, he's getting attacked by a lot of people.
Brian and I disagree on a lot.
He's always been very good to me.
But I want to play Cut 30.
I mean, it's like, hey, Brian, step right into the machine gun, man.
It's tough.
I feel bad for him.
Play Cut 30.
Hi, everybody, and welcome to Fox News tonight.
I am Brian Kilmead.
As you probably have heard, Fox News and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways.
I wish Tucker the best.
I'm great friends with Tucker and always will be.
But right now, it's time for Fox News tonight, so let's get started.
At the very least, what Tucker deserved was a best of, a send-off, a triumph.
Let's just do a mashup.
By the way, we should be making that.
We should be making a best of for Tucker.
Because whether it be his exposure of Floyd a Palooza or against vaccine mandates or the vaccine and what the damage it was doing to people, big tech censorship, gender altering hormone blockers, or gender reaffirming surgery.
Democracy Is Under Attack 00:04:16
I mean, the guy has hit home run after home run after home run after home run for years, holding Republicans accountable, exposing Democrats.
Some of those entertaining cable television intellectual warriors.
He deserved better than that.
He deserved a lot better.
He deserves a lot better than all of this.
I mean, obviously.
Chuck Hugh Schumer, though, admits that he has control over the mainstream media.
He admits that we're the ones in charge.
Our democracy is under attack.
And they get what they want.
If you had to say, one of the most evil people in American government, Chuck Hugh Schumer is right up there.
He is a nasty, craven man.
Play cut 37.
This is not simply telling them what to do.
This is telling them, showing them that they have hurt our democracy, probably a way that no other actor, maybe with the exception of Donald Trump, who used them, has done.
And so when it's that vital, I think we not only have a right to tell Rupert Murdoch and Fox what to do, but an obligation.
And I hope people from one end of the country to the other will call up Fox and say, do what leader Hakeem Jeffries and I asked for, which is stop the lies, say they were wrong, and report the news.
How do you know you're on the right side of history?
How do you know that you're fighting for truth?
How do you know that you are contesting towards what is good, true, and beautiful?
You're not openly arguing for censorship of your political opponents.
AOC came out and she's gloating that deplatform works is important.
Chuck Hugh Schumer goes on CNN and says that Washington, D.C. has the right and the duty.
The European Union is ramping up censorship of 19 online platforms, including Twitter, under content moderation.
Justin Trudeau is pushing to criminalize offensive remarks or protests if they come within 100 meters of Drag Queen Story Hour of drag queens near young children.
The United Kingdom is pushing an online harms bill, which would censor so-called, quote, anti-vax misinformation.
Left-wingers in the Western world want to criminalize wrongthink that is at odds with the regime talking points.
Who are threats to that?
Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, James O'Keefe.
One after the other, after the other.
That's what they do.
You got to really wonder who's calling the shots here.
Truth tellers allow the society to remain sane.
The more truth tellers that are taken out of the game, taken out of the arena, then all of a sudden you get colleges that teach men give birth.
Vast majority of colleges teach that men give birth.
And so we're in a set of circumstances here where censorship is not just considered to be a popular opinion, but necessary.
And this point is made often, but it needs to be reinforced as we close out this hour in our time on Real America's Voice.
They would not have to shut up Tucker Carlson if he wasn't effective.
They would not have to silence him if he was not persuasive.
It's the same reason why they have to come with weapons when I show up on a college campus.
The same reason they have to kidnap Riley Gaines when she shows up on a college campus.
Our ideas resonate when they're given a fair hearing.
They have to smear us as disinformation.
They have to try to attack us and try to do everything they possibly can.
They don't want to have dialogue or debate.
These people do not believe in speech.
The postmodernists, the inheritors of Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida, they do not believe in speech.
They believe speech is only used by white, powerful men to stay powerful.
They believe in revolution.
And Tucker Carlson was one of the most effective speakers of a generation, which is why they had to try to take him out.
