=== Historic Political Realignment (10:43) ===

[00:00:00]  Hey everybody, today's Charlie Kirk Show, the great realignment.
[00:00:03]  You are living through a historic realignment that historians will look back on and will write extensively about.
[00:00:11]  It's a political realignment, a cultural realignment.
[00:00:13]  It's exciting.
[00:00:14]  It's risky.
[00:00:15]  It's new.

[00:01:11]  I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
[00:01:14]  Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
[00:01:17]  I want to thank Charlie.
[00:01:18]  He's an incredible guy.
[00:01:19]  His spirit, his love of this country.
[00:01:21]  He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
[00:01:26]  Turning point USA.
[00:01:28]  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.
[00:01:36]  That's why we are here.
[00:01:39]  Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
[00:01:48]  We had a very exciting event and successful event in Idaho Falls this last weekend, and we had a kind of private meet and greet.
[00:01:57]  And it moved me greatly.
[00:02:00]  And I came to a realization that we're living through something significant, a historic realignment.
[00:02:05]  Started to take questions from the audience.
[00:02:08]  And the audience was very upset with the two Republican senators from Idaho, Senator Crapo and Senator Risch.
[00:02:14]  They feel as if they're not fighting hard enough, that one of them is one of the big cheerleaders of the Ukrainian conflict, the United States funding of the Ukrainian conflict.
[00:02:23]  Hard to disagree with that.
[00:02:25]  And so then I asked a question.
[00:02:26]  I said, who here in this room?
[00:02:27]  Now, mind you, these are 200 Christian, conservative, MAGA voters, very conservative.
[00:02:36]  I said, who here has favorable opinions about Robert F. Kennedy Jr.?
[00:02:42]  And almost every hand goes up.
[00:02:43]  Enthusiasm.
[00:02:44]  They're clapping over the top.
[00:02:46]  I said, who here has favorable opinions about Joe Rogan?
[00:02:51]  About half the room is excited.
[00:02:53]  And I said, wait a second.
[00:02:54]  So you in this room here today with Christian, Christian conservative, you could call them hard right MAGA types, you're more excited about a Democrat running for the presidency than two Republican senators.
[00:03:07]  I said, this is interesting.
[00:03:08]  Why is this?
[00:03:10]  And I said, what about Elon Musk?
[00:03:11]  And some of them were a little bit mixed on Elon, but they said generally fine.
[00:03:15]  I said, how about Russell Brand or Glenn Greenwald?
[00:03:19]  What I was getting at is I saw in real time, and I see this in every pocket of the country I travel to, saw this, by the way, in Naples, Florida, where I say Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s name and people get excited is I believe we're about to see a true and legitimate realignment.
[00:03:36]  Now, look, you guys know we have a two-system, two-party system of government, and that's not the norm everywhere.
[00:03:42]  In Britain, there are three national parties.
[00:03:44]  In Israel, they have coalition government.
[00:03:47]  When a realignment happens in America, it's historically very significant.
[00:03:52]  It usually happens for a reason.
[00:03:54]  The last major realignment that we saw was 1976, 1980 election with Jimmy Carter.
[00:04:01]  Most southern states used to be Democrat.
[00:04:03]  Now they are Republican, except for Virginia, which is Democrat, but even they elect Glenn Youngkin as governor of Virginia.
[00:04:11]  The shift, that realignment happened because evangelical Christian voters began to support the Republican Party, along with pro-business voters in the South's new suburbs.
[00:04:20]  So there was a realignment that happened for a reason.
[00:04:22]  And we've kind of been living post-1990 with some exceptions, right?
[00:04:27]  Al Gore struggled to win his home state of Tennessee.
[00:04:30]  Bill Clinton struggled in the South.
[00:04:32]  But really post-2004, there have been very few of any political realignment changes.
[00:04:38]  It's been Republicans stand for this and Democrats stand for that.
[00:04:41]  But if you tell me you're a Republican, it doesn't tell me a lot about you.
[00:04:45]  It doesn't tell me your stance on the pharmaceutical industrial complex.
[00:04:50]  It doesn't tell me about your stance on us funding the proxy war in Ukraine.
[00:04:55]  You see, old, tired political labels mean less and less.
[00:05:02]  They don't really tell me who you are.
[00:05:04]  They don't offer clarity.
[00:05:06]  In fact, far too often, they're offering confusion.
[00:05:09]  Instead, I'm starting to hear this from the grassroots.
[00:05:11]  People say, oh, they're part of the Uniparty.
[00:05:14]  They're part of the neoliberal regime.
[00:05:15]  I say, that's an exciting thing to hear from a grassroots activist.
[00:05:18]  That means you're listening to the right shows.
[00:05:21]  You're engaging with the proper content.
[00:05:24]  When you have a Democrat running for the presidency, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., that gets more applause from a grassroots conservative audience than sitting Republican senators, you should take note of that and ask, what on earth is going on?
[00:05:38]  And I believe there is a new coalition being built, a coalition that is not right versus left, but instead bottom-up against the ruling oligarchy regime.
[00:05:48]  And mind you, there is not complete agreement in this coalition.
[00:05:52]  You got Russell Brand, Joe Rogan, Bobby Kennedy Jr., Steve Bannon, Bill Maher, Elon Musk, Matt Walsh, Glenn Greenwald, Tucker Carlson.
[00:06:00]  You got this program, Charlie Kirk.
[00:06:03]  There's kind of a myriad of issues.
[00:06:04]  It's all over the place.
[00:06:06]  Differences on social issues, but there seems to be some fundamental agreement.
[00:06:11]  Number one, there seems to be fundamental agreement that there is an untouchable oligarchy running our country.
[00:06:18]  An unelected, deep state, administrative state, a leviathan.
[00:06:22]  We talk about this on our program repeatedly.
[00:06:25]  That seems to be a point of agreement.
[00:06:27]  There seems to be a second point of agreement, a belief in freedom of speech, freedom of dialogue, of inquiry, to challenge pre-existing power structures.
[00:06:35]  That's exciting.
[00:06:36]  In fact, here's Elon Musk on Bill Maher's program talking about the moral need for freedom of speech.
[00:06:43]  Play cut five.
[00:06:44]  I really can't emphasize this enough.
[00:06:48]  We must protect free speech.
[00:06:50]  And free speech only matters.
[00:06:52]  It's only relevant when it's someone you don't like saying something you don't like.
[00:06:56]  Because obviously speech that you like is easy.
[00:07:00]  So it's and it's the thing about censorship is that, for those who would advocate it, just remember at some point that will return on you.
[00:07:10]  For those of you that advocate censorship, at some point that will come on you.
[00:07:13]  Of course, the Bolsheviks running the country, they don't care about that.
[00:07:17]  They want to be the permanent censorship bureau.
[00:07:20]  What else unites this new coalition?
[00:07:22]  That you shouldn't mandate a vaccine?
[00:07:25]  That our foreign policy is more about empire building and we're bad at that than it is about serving the American citizen.
[00:07:32]  It seems to push back against neoliberalism of this idea of importing nonstop products from China.
[00:07:39]  This new coalition is about the rise of the citizen against a morally corrupt regime.
[00:07:48]  And what's exciting is that you don't have to have uniform agreement.
[00:07:52]  What's exciting is that if you see a truth teller that is saying something meaningful, you're willing to say, come on aboard.
[00:07:59]  Now, mind you, some of you in the audience don't like this new coalition.
[00:08:03]  You want puritanical, conservative ideas, and I'm that way too.
[00:08:09]  I'm right-wing.
[00:08:11]  But I would much rather have somebody like Bobby Kennedy Jr., who I agree on about 60 or 70% of the issues on, fight against the administrative state than a Republican from Idaho or a Republican senator like Lady Graham, who does some show votes on legislation that will never become law, but protects the administrative state, protects the deep state, that keeps our borders wide open and funds the proxy war in Ukraine.
[00:08:40]  That is actively harming the fabric of the United States of America.
[00:08:45]  What this new coalition represents is finally, finally a chance to have something that has been so sorely lacking that has not existed since I was born in 1993, a legitimate opposition party.
[00:09:02]  One of the reasons America is in the mess that it's in is that we do not have an opposition party.
[00:09:07]  The RNC, the Republican Party, Mitch McConnell is not, they are not an opposition party.
[00:09:15]  They just want better seats on the Titanic.
[00:09:17]  They want to make sure they still get invited to the cocktail parties.
[00:09:21]  They want a sign of approval amongst the leadership oligarchy of the untouchable class.
[00:09:30]  No, there seems to be something brewing that is exciting.
[00:09:34]  It's exhilarating.
[00:09:35]  It's also very risky, by the way, but it's necessary and it's healthy, which is a new coalition of anti-woke, pro-free speech, pro-America, pro-liberty, challenging corporate power, does not want foreign wars.
[00:09:53]  You might ask, why is it risky?
[00:09:54]  I'm going to tell you why it's risky.
[00:09:56]  It's risky because this could splinter into a third political party and could disenfranchise anybody on the center right.
[00:10:03]  It's risky because when you build coalitions with people you disagree with, bad intentions could take over.
[00:10:10]  But honestly, can it get any worse?
[00:10:11]  The Republican Party is not representing its voters.
[00:10:15]  I'm not a registered Republican for this reason.
[00:10:17]  I'm a registered independent.
[00:10:18]  Obviously, I don't vote for Democrats, but I refuse to register as a Republican.
[00:10:22]  They've done active damage to the Republic, and they continue to.
[00:10:26]  They are a performance party.
[00:10:27]  It's all performative.
[00:10:29]  This new coalition, this realignment that we are living through, has a chance to finally mount an opposition against the regime, which is exactly why they have to censor these voices, indict these voices, smear these voices.

=== Building The Good Ranchers Coalition (07:16) ===

[00:10:43]  They know that 90% of the country could eventually agree on these common sense ideas.
[00:10:52]  Hey, everybody, Summer is here.

[00:12:29]  GoodRanchers.com, promo code Kirk.
[00:12:34]  It's amazing.
[00:12:35]  I'm receiving hundreds of emails here, freedomatcharlikirk.com, where people are saying, Charlie, I donated to Robert Kennedy.
[00:12:42]  I'm done with the Republican Party.
[00:12:44]  Trump and Kennedy people are saying, no, I don't think they should necessarily run as a ticket.
[00:12:48]  I'm not recommending that.
[00:12:49]  That's Steve Bannon.
[00:12:50]  I think I disagree slightly on that.
[00:12:53]  But there's something happening here that's exciting.
[00:12:55]  Let's talk about it.
[00:12:56]  This is way more interesting than, oh, Joe Biden struggles to finish sentences.
[00:13:01]  Yeah, okay, we know that.
[00:13:02]  All right.
[00:13:03]  Joe Biden is old.
[00:13:05]  We know that too.
[00:13:06]  What's more interesting to me and should be to you is you are living through a moment where the entire political paradigm is shifting.
[00:13:16]  There's a muscular class element to this.
[00:13:19]  There's a don't vaccinate my kid with an mRNA gene-altering shot that you call a vaccine, otherwise known as the COVID-19 shot.
[00:13:28]  This is coalition building.
[00:13:29]  And in some sense, this is our best hope.
[00:13:32]  You want to know what the hope for America is?
[00:13:33]  The hope for America is not the current Republican Party.
[00:13:37]  Now, don't get me wrong.
[00:13:38]  I think the vessel to actually effectuate this coalition building will need to have a temporary home in the Republican Party.
[00:13:44]  Elon Musk agreed, by the way.
[00:13:46]  Elon Musk voted for Republicans in the midterms because in a two-party system, it's going to have to land somewhere.
[00:13:51]  And the Democrat Party is completely captured.
[00:13:54]  They are captured by the most radical, Marxist, totalitarian, post-modern, post-structural element.
[00:14:01]  So it's not going to be there.
[00:14:02]  The Republican Party needs to be a place where we're willing to build coalitions, to entertain different voices.
[00:14:10]  And so it's interesting and not compromising on principle, by the way.
[00:14:14]  I am not saying for a second we should compromise on our pro-life stances or our strong border stances.
[00:14:20]  But honestly, you go through the list.
[00:14:21]  Russell Brand, Joe Rogan, you know, Bobby Kennedy Jr., Steve Bannon, Bill Maher, Elon Musk, Matt Walsh, Glenn Greenwald, Tucker Carlson, this program, Charlie Kirk Show, Dan Bongino.
[00:14:33]  There are actually very few points of disagreement on the most pressing issues.
[00:14:38]  For example, stable currency and checking the Federal Reserve.
[00:14:41]  There's agreement on that.
[00:14:42]  Stopping mass surveillance of American citizens.
[00:14:45]  There's great agreement on that.
[00:14:47]  Restraining the Gestapo that calls themselves the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
[00:14:51]  Great agreement on that.
[00:14:52]  What unites this new coalition is, yes, ideological agreement, but it seems to be actually more attitudinal.
[00:15:00]  What does Steve Bannon and Bobby Kennedy Jr. and Joe Rogan seem to all have in common?
[00:15:05]  Courage against the powerful.
[00:15:07]  That is what unites.
[00:15:09]  It seems as if there's a new community of courageous truth tellers that are coalescing behind a love of America.
[00:15:18]  I don't doubt for a second that Joe Rogan loves America.
[00:15:22]  Joe Rogan and I have probably different politics, certainly on drug legalization, certainly on other things.
[00:15:28]  But I don't doubt that Joe Rogan loves the country.
[00:15:30]  And Joe Rogan's not insane.
[00:15:32]  In fact, Joe Rogan will permanently be in the pantheon of the courageous for me for what he did in the midst of the Fauci virus.
[00:15:42]  Joe Rogan platformed Dr. Malone.
[00:15:44]  He talked about Ivermectin.
[00:15:45]  He spoke against the mandatory vaccine.
[00:15:48]  It doesn't matter what Joe Rogan says or does.
[00:15:50]  He's passed the quote-unquote purity test more than almost any establishment Republican.
[00:15:55]  Not only was Joe Rogan attacked for that, he was nearly obliterated for it.
[00:16:00]  When was the last time an establishment Republican had to endure the type of maligning, lying, smearing, or mocking that Matt Walsh, Glenn Greenwald, Tucker Carlson, Bobby Kennedy?
[00:16:14]  By the way, I could add James O'Keefe to the list.
[00:16:18]  This is an exciting moment.
[00:16:21]  It's also a little bit risky because you don't know how these coalitions can end up.
[00:16:26]  And it's the old adage, like, be careful what you wish for.
[00:16:28]  Is it going to splinter into a third party?
[00:16:30]  Is it going to kind of have its own pocket off to the side?
[00:16:33]  We don't know.
[00:16:35]  But if you look at the country, they say, oh, we're so divided.
[00:16:39]  Are we so divided?
[00:16:41]  Are we?
[00:16:42]  Right-wing Charlie Kirk and right-wing Steve Bannon and right-wing Matt Walsh have positive things to say about Bobby Kennedy Jr.
[00:16:52]  Robert Kennedy Jr. is not on board with half of our message.
[00:16:54]  That's okay, at least for this moment in time, because we have an overwhelming threat, which is the woke mind virus, the trans social contagion, the administrative state.
[00:17:06]  Building these coalitions is necessary.
[00:17:09]  The realignment we're living through is about courage against the powerful, a restoration of representative government.
[00:17:18]  It's about parents, not perverts, citizens, not bureaucrats, about entrepreneurs, not major corporations, peace, not stupid, reckless war, borders, not globalism, nationalism, not internationalism.
[00:17:34]  These distinctions are normal.
[00:17:36]  They used to be ordinary.
[00:17:37]  They used to be not debated.
[00:17:39]  What we are seeing is a new coalition that basically says, I love the country.
[00:17:44]  I don't want radical ideas, but I want my home back.
[00:17:50]  Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
[00:17:51]  Are you tired of feeling burnt out and struggling to stay productive throughout the day?
[00:17:55]  Does brain fog and short-term memory loss keep you from functioning at your best?
[00:17:59]  Well, I did too.

=== Empowering The Awakened (03:05) ===

[00:18:00]  And then I was introduced to Strong Cell.
[00:18:02]  More specifically, NADH.
[00:18:04]  If you don't believe me, check it out yourself.
[00:18:05]  What Strong Cell has done is they have a scientific breakthrough in cellular health.
[00:18:09]  They combine NADH, CoQ10, and marine collagen to boost your body's cellular function.
[00:18:14]  I personally take it every day.
[00:18:15]  I'm a big NAD believer.
[00:18:17]  People say, Charlie, how do you keep up the schedule?
[00:18:19]  How do you have mental clarity?
[00:18:20]  Go do some research on NAD.
[00:18:22]  It is a precursor to ATP, which is your body's life source.
[00:18:26]  StrongCell combines NADH with some of the best ingredients and vitamins available.
[00:18:29]  I get approached by many supplement brands, and I tell most of them no.

[00:18:53]  Wouldn't it be exciting for once to have real debates about the issues?
[00:18:57]  Wouldn't it be exciting to be able to talk about war, corporate power, the same stuff that Tucker mentioned in his Twitter video last week?
[00:19:05]  How many times have you heard the talking heads, the Operation Mockingbird, the Apparatch, people in your local circle?
[00:19:12]  Well, all we have to do is win the Senate.
[00:19:16]  All we have to do is win this election.
[00:19:18]  Now, don't get me wrong, winning elections is very important.
[00:19:20]  Using political power is very important.
[00:19:22]  But I think we all understand at this point, there's something a lot deeper going on.
[00:19:28]  The game, the way it's been structured, is about a fake struggle of power.
[00:19:33]  One of the only major noticeable differences legislatively between Republicans and Democrats is judges.
[00:19:40]  And that's not insignificant.
[00:19:41]  That's a real thing.
[00:19:42]  But besides that, it's complete agreement on keeping the border wide open.
[00:19:48]  No one really cares.
[00:19:49]  A couple of Republicans do, no Democrats care.
[00:19:51]  Trans surgery for kids.
[00:19:53]  Okay, we'll pass the bill.
[00:19:54]  Nothing happens.
[00:19:55]  It's controlled opposition outside of just the judge issue, which is important.
[00:19:58]  That's fine.
[00:19:59]  Complete agreement on Ukraine, complete agreement on the pharmaceutical industrial complex, complete agreement on the war machine, complete agreement on domestic surveillance and censorship, complete agreement on the untouchable nature of the FBI, complete agreement on globalism versus domestic, complete agreement on spending and debt.
[00:20:18]  I mean, how many trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars do we need to spend before we realize that the whole game, the way it's actually designed, it's not working.
[00:20:29]  The Republican-Democrat thing is really just a power-sharing agreement.
[00:20:33]  That's what it is.
[00:20:34]  The Republican-Democrat uniparty is: okay, you might win an election, you might win an election, yeah, you might get some judges, you might get some things we don't like, but the power-sharing agreement is we're never going to go after the fundamental issues that are really damaging the country and making us powerful and rich.
[00:20:51]  It's a battle between those who love truth and those who go along to get along.
[00:20:55]  Most Republican senators, I'm sure, are very sweet people.
[00:20:59]  I'm sure that you would have them over for dinner and they would tell you a couple funny stories about how Mitch McConnell fell asleep in the middle of a meeting.

=== Breaking The Uniparty Power Share (02:40) ===

[00:21:05]  Wow, he's such a nice guy.
[00:21:06]  He told us a story about how the turtle fell asleep.
[00:21:08]  That's not relevant here.
[00:21:09]  I don't care if they're sweet.
[00:21:11]  That's fine, okay?
[00:21:12]  Go run for a library board or mosquito abatement director, okay?
[00:21:17]  We need people that are ideologically and culturally ready to engage in the battle that matters.
[00:21:23]  Tucker Carlson summed it up perfectly here in his last public address at the Heritage Foundation before his show just got canceled.
[00:21:32]  He talks about the coalition of the awakened.
[00:21:35]  It's almost impossible to predict where this is going, but it's exciting.
[00:21:38]  And all of you that are without hope, I hope you're sitting on the edge of your seat because you're about to live through a realignment.
[00:21:44]  Historians, 100 years from now, are going to talk about the post-COVID, the post-Floyd depalooza, the post-alphabet mafia tyranny of the country realignment.
[00:21:52]  There's something exciting, unpredictable.
[00:21:55]  Tucker Carlson does what Tucker Carlson does best, PlayCut 17.
[00:21:58]  I'm really interested in cause and effect.
[00:22:00]  And as I noted at the outset of my remarks and my ability to predict the future, working on that.
[00:22:08]  But because I'm sort of paid to predict things, I try and think a lot about, you know, what connects certain outcomes that I should have seen before they occurred.
[00:22:18]  And in this case, there is no thread that I can find that connects all of the people who've popped up in my life to be that lone brave person in the crowd who says, no, thank you.
[00:22:30]  You could not have known who these people are.
[00:22:32]  They don't fit a common profile.
[00:22:34]  Some are people like me.
[00:22:36]  Some of them don't look like me at all.
[00:22:38]  Some of them are people I despised on political grounds just a few years ago.
[00:22:42]  I could name their names, but you may not even know about their transformations.
[00:22:45]  I don't want to wreck your dinner by telling you who they are.
[00:22:48]  But there's in one case someone who I made fun of on television and certainly in my private life in vulgar ways, who was really the embodiment of everything I found repulsive, who in the middle of COVID decided, no, I'm not going along with this.
[00:23:01]  And once you say one true thing and stick with it, all kinds of other true things occur to you.
[00:23:06]  That is the logos, the spoken truth.
[00:23:08]  Once you engage or once you focus on truth, well, then all of a sudden, the natural law of the universe starts to come into place.
[00:23:18]  Oh, wow, why are we putting masks on kids and keeping the schools closed?
[00:23:23]  Why are we mandating vaccines?
[00:23:24]  Why don't we have a border?
[00:23:26]  Why are you saying that we're systemically racist when it's blacks killing each other more than any other group?
[00:23:31]  What does white people have?
[00:23:32]  Why do white people have to be blamed for that?
[00:23:33]  That doesn't make any sense.
[00:23:35]  Why is black on black gang violence in Chicago white supremacy?
[00:23:38]  That's confusing to me.
[00:23:41]  Why are we talking about Ukraine when our kids can't read in our public schools?
[00:23:44]  Why are we mutilating children?

=== Defeating The Existential Enemy (09:50) ===

[00:23:45]  Once you start to get, once you start drinking from the streams of truth, you're going to want to find its source.
[00:23:52]  You're going to want to keep on climbing up that ladder.
[00:23:54]  And that does take courage.
[00:23:56]  And I think that's actually one of the reasons why some of the country know that all of a sudden they start asking the proper questions about Epstein.
[00:24:04]  They start asking the proper questions about the mandatory vaccine.
[00:24:07]  It's going to make them uncomfortable.
[00:24:09]  But that's what is so beautiful about the Christian theological promise, which is the truth will set you free.
[00:24:16]  But once you are free, that means you have to take responsibility for your life.
[00:24:19]  And not everybody wants that.
[00:24:21]  It is human nature.
[00:24:22]  It's the human norm to want to be taken care of.
[00:24:25]  Take care of me with the lies, just send me free stuff.
[00:24:27]  Take care of me with the lives.
[00:24:29]  Just send me free stuff.
[00:24:31]  This is what journalists are supposed to do.
[00:24:33]  Journalists don't do that.
[00:24:35]  They just parrot the uploaded chat GPT woke talking points of the day.
[00:24:43]  But that matrix is breaking and we're living through it.
[00:24:46]  We are an active part of it.
[00:24:47]  And yes, Donald Trump deserves a huge amount of credit for this.
[00:24:50]  Donald Trump was one of the first people to say, you know what?
[00:24:54]  The Iraq war was a huge mistake and the Bushes are losers.
[00:24:57]  That's a thought crime in right-wing circles.
[00:24:59]  He said, I don't care.
[00:25:00]  And he won South Carolina.
[00:25:02]  He comes out and he says, yeah, you know, the trade deals are terrible.
[00:25:05]  He really, Trump, this, if there is something where one of Trump's greatest lasting legacies, and he was a phenomenal president, is that he just broke all these sacred cows on the right.
[00:25:16]  Can't insult the Bush family.
[00:25:18]  Can't say Iraq was a mistake.
[00:25:21]  Can't do that.
[00:25:21]  Can't say that we have too many people coming in our country legally, not just illegally.
[00:25:26]  Can't say the war machine is too hungry.
[00:25:28]  Can't go after Lady Graham.
[00:25:30]  Can't go after the turtle.
[00:25:31]  He can't do that.
[00:25:32]  Trump is like, Yeah, I don't care.
[00:25:34]  And what he did is he liberated millions of other truth tellers.
[00:25:39]  Now, this is the issue, though, is that moderate Republicans appropriate MAGAism when they are really uniparty-type spokespeople.
[00:25:49]  There's very few people in DC that actually are listening to their voters and want a citizen response to this bipartisan power-sharing agreement between Republicans and Democrats, like Lady Graham.
[00:26:02]  He doesn't want any structural change.
[00:26:05]  He wants invade the world, invite the world.
[00:26:07]  And yeah, he might vote correctly on judges, and he deserves credit for that.
[00:26:10]  That's fine.
[00:26:11]  But in some ways, that's kind of protective show votes where it's like, oh, I'm still a Republican.
[00:26:15]  See, I voted for a judge.
[00:26:16]  Okay, that's great.
[00:26:18]  That's part of, that's like 5% of a 95% issue where you're wrong on 95% of the stuff.
[00:26:26]  This coalition, what's so amazing about it is that it's not coordinated.
[00:26:33]  No one's talking to one another.
[00:26:35]  I could tell you this.
[00:26:36]  I mean, there's a couple people talking here or there, but it's not like we have some group chat going on with Joe Rogan and Russell Brand and Bobby Kennedy Jr. and Steve Bannon and Bill Maher and Tucker.
[00:26:49]  And they're like, hey, let's talk about this.
[00:26:51]  It's totally bottom up.
[00:26:52]  It's completely decentralized.
[00:26:55]  And that is what makes the regime very nervous: it's 100% organic against synthetic communication narratives.
[00:27:05]  It's totally organic where people are independently coming to these conclusions.
[00:27:12]  People are independently starting to come to the same worldview without any sort of incentive, subsidy, any sort of nudge.
[00:27:23]  No.
[00:27:24]  It's because the moment is too ridiculous.
[00:27:27]  It's so insane that it only requires a few people willing to say so, saying, this doesn't make any sense at all.
[00:27:34]  Why are we doing this?
[00:27:36]  And then they smear you and call you a racist.
[00:27:37]  And most people will sit down and shut up, like Chuck Todd.
[00:27:40]  I mean, if Chuck Todd would even dare to say anything in an editorial meeting, the mob will come after him.
[00:27:46]  The cartel will come after him.
[00:27:47]  And you see this with most right-wing broadcasters.
[00:27:50]  Most right-wing broadcasters on television don't engage on the issues that are actually civilizational turning issues.
[00:27:56]  Currency, international hegemony, global reserve currency, way too many people coming into the country, vaccine mandates, pharmaceutical industrial complex.
[00:28:09]  The cost for speaking truth right now is very high.
[00:28:12]  If you lie and you parrot what the regime wants you, you'll get paid.
[00:28:16]  You'll get a paycheck.
[00:28:18]  Just talk about Mitch McConnell talking points.
[00:28:20]  Just do RNC TV.
[00:28:23]  Media companies are funded by the very corporations that have merged with corporate power.
[00:28:29]  It requires independence financially and institutionally to be able to do this.
[00:28:35]  But more than anything else, it just takes courage.
[00:28:37]  You look at Joy Reed, Anderson Cooper, Chuck Todd.
[00:28:41]  They don't say anything interesting.
[00:28:44]  They're not pushing boundaries.
[00:28:46]  They're not challenging orthodoxies.
[00:28:50]  But they get paid because they're obedient, because they're masters in the corporate America and in the deep state and the administrative state of government.
[00:28:58]  They need those, you can call them liars, but they're just, they're just communication agents of a globalist corrupt regime.
[00:29:08]  You know, there's another thing that this coalition has in common is that there's an embracing of disagreement.
[00:29:15]  Do you notice that?
[00:29:16]  Whether it be Matt Walsh or Joe Rogan, there's almost a leaning into the people that don't see the world the way we do.
[00:29:22]  I mean, we do our best at Turning Point USA when we have these campus events.
[00:29:26]  When we say anybody who disagrees can go to the front of the line for one hour uninterrupted, we can have question and answer.
[00:29:32]  You could say whatever you want to me.
[00:29:33]  Joe Rogan has people who disagree with him all the time on his program.
[00:29:36]  Russell Brand is a free speech warrior.
[00:29:38]  Bill Maher has people on his program all the time.
[00:29:41]  Tucker Carlson would have interesting and difficult conversations.
[00:29:45]  You see, you might find common cause with pro-abortion people like Bobby Kennedy Jr., or the pro-shroom people like Joe Rogan, or the Namaste people like Russell Brand, or with gay people like Dave Rubin and Glenn Greenwald.
[00:30:00]  And Dave's a friend of mine.
[00:30:01]  What really matters right now is to defeat the existential enemy, not allow the regime to say those people should not be on your team, when in reality, we need to defeat the enemy that is at the gates.
[00:30:15]  They are feet away.
[00:30:16]  They are literally feet away from storming the Bastille, the quote-unquote Bastille of our civilization, taking over everything.
[00:30:23]  We can have these kind of interesting conversations.
[00:30:25]  I'm not threatened by Bobby Kennedy Jr. having what I consider to be incorrect views on the environment because we can handle ourselves.
[00:30:35]  We can have debate.
[00:30:36]  We can have dialogue.
[00:30:38]  In fact, we sharpen our ideas by engaging in oppositional conversation.
[00:30:45]  We enjoy it.
[00:30:47]  I love going to college campuses.
[00:30:49]  I'll debate any professor.
[00:30:51]  I'll debate anybody.
[00:30:53]  That's actually what makes the battle of ideas exciting and new and fresh.
[00:30:59]  But you understand that the regime, Joy Reed, the racewoman, Chuck Todd, the turtle, Lady Graham, they don't like debate because they are brittle.
[00:31:12]  They are fragile.
[00:31:14]  Debate to them is really concerning.
[00:31:18]  I mean, for example, I say time and time again: anybody's welcome on this program.
[00:31:21]  That's a Senate Republican to defend their stance on Ukraine.
[00:31:24]  I'll treat you nicely and kindly, but I'm going to debate you.
[00:31:29]  Can you handle it?
[00:31:30]  Can you come and tell me why you want your voters to think that Zelensky is more important than our own southern border?
[00:31:36]  Because that is the belief of Senate Republicans.
[00:31:38]  Mitch McConnell said that it's one of the most important things.
[00:31:42]  You can get the quote.
[00:31:43]  I don't want to ever misquote, but he said, one of the most important things, top priority, the prime directive is Ukraine.
[00:31:49]  Not our own, why would we care about our own border?
[00:31:51]  Goodness gracious.
[00:31:52]  Not like we're being invaded every day.
[00:31:54]  Here's the thing: part of this coalition is going to require on your part a little bit of flex in the joints.
[00:32:01]  But let me be clear: you never compromise on your deeply held beliefs.
[00:32:04]  You don't stop believing something, but you must be willing to say, Hey, I disagree with you, Joe Rogan.
[00:32:10]  Welcome aboard on these three mission-critical issues.
[00:32:13]  And if we solve those issues, then we'll disagree on drug legalization or whatever.
[00:32:17]  The uniparty cabal doesn't want us building these partnerships.
[00:32:24]  They don't want Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson combining forces or Russell Brand and Steve Bannon combining forces.
[00:32:33]  No, no, no.
[00:32:34]  That's not what they want at all.
[00:32:37]  They would rather have these nauseating, tiresome, wow, Republicans are really bad and Democrats are really bad.
[00:32:45]  And let's just keep on doing what we've been doing.
[00:32:47]  Look at Mitch McConnell, the turtle, talking about Ukraine.
[00:32:50]  Don't believe me.
[00:32:51]  He says it's the most important thing.
[00:32:52]  Play Cut 18.
[00:32:53]  Well, good afternoon, everyone.
[00:32:55]  I think we all agree the most important thing going on in the world right now is the war in Ukraine.
[00:33:01]  The most important thing, not the dollar losing its global reserve currency status or the CCP taking over the world.
[00:33:07]  No, he thinks the most important thing happening on the planet is the war in Ukraine, not our own southern border or the suicide epidemic with young people or AI.
[00:33:17]  Artificial intelligence, unrestricted, unchecked artificial intelligence growing at the current rate is way more dangerous than Vladimir Putin.
[00:33:26]  Way more dangerous.
[00:33:28]  And if you don't agree with that, you do not understand the technology and you've not talked to the right experts.
[00:33:33]  Does Mitch McConnell even know what artificial intelligence is?

=== New Alliances Against Entrenched Power (00:52) ===

[00:33:36]  Is that the Facebook thing?
[00:33:39]  It's a great time to be alive because now new alliances, coalitions, partnerships, friendships are starting to come together.
[00:33:47]  New harmonies, new rhythms of activism.
[00:33:51]  It's the courage against the powerful.
[00:33:53]  It's the willingness to challenge the entrenched power structure.
[00:33:58]  It's time to step up, to lean into this and realize that there is hope, light at the end of the tunnel.
[00:34:05]  We have to fight.
[00:34:06]  We have to empower the truth tellers.
[00:34:08]  There's no guarantee we win, but this new coalition gives us a much better shot.
