Okay, everybody, welcome. It is Thought Crime Thursday.
Starting point is 00:02:08 We have Blake, we have Jack. Who else do we have? We have Andrew. It is quite a circuit here. Jack, throwing to you, can you please eat rice with your hands on screen? Yeah, no, I've got some rice here down by my feet, which of course are also uncovered. And I'm going to be using those to raise them up to just even my hands. And I want to make sure,
Starting point is 00:02:33 by the way, I want to go further than Zoran Mamdani. I want to go, I want to go and actually eat the rice with my hands on the subway itself so that all the people around me get to feel and smell the festive aroma of my my rice and my slop and my my goo and my my sauce and slime out there I mean people okay so people know that I have for a long time. And I know that I've I've said this number of times on this show that I have a really like I have I have really weird, really, you know, angry responses when people don't, you know, people make like eating sounds.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Oh, Jack, that's why Jack gets really upset. Yeah, yeah. I have like misophonia. Like I had to like go off. I had to walk off the show a couple of weeks ago. And um, and yeah, something like, no, what's, what you mean though is like something like this wouldn't necessarily trigger it. It's more like the sounds or, you know, if he was like stuffing his mouth too full or something like that. To me, this is just gross. This is just like normal gross behavior. But I've always been critical of people, politicians. There was a dude, Paul of a or whatever up in Canada, who was chewing an apple like really loudly while he was miked up in that one interview a while ago.
Starting point is 00:03:57 I couldn't stand that when there was another guy with the, you know, John Kasich just shoving shoveling, you know, pizza into his mouth or Pete Buttigieg, the way he was like, he was eating, I guess he was eating like drumsticks or something this one video. And he was at the Iowa State Fair and he was like shoving the entire drumstick in his mouth and opening his mouth as wide as possible to eat it. And I can remember this stuff because it literally bothers me that much. And so yeah, when when you look at something like this, it's just it's just disgust Tony on camera. Just don't do it. If you're in politics, you know,
Starting point is 00:04:30 just word of the wise, don't ever do something like this. And trying to run in the United States of America. I mean, my gosh, you know, we, you know, we use utensils here. And by the way, like this guy grew up and I don't know like all of his background, he grew up rich, right? He is like his mom's like this famous film director. So he grew up rich. He went to all sorts of you know, like like a $60,000 a year school. So I mean, this is dad's an Ivy League professor. So yeah, this idea that like, oh, yes, no, it's a joke. He's obviously just doing this to say like, oh, I'm one of you. And in fact, earlier on the show today on Human Events,
Starting point is 00:05:12 we were talking about how this is just another example of a Leninist who just like in the original version of Leninism, what did Leninism target? It used people to sort of? LARPing as the working class to claim that they were part of the proletariat and what were they they were over-educated sons and daughters mainly sons obviously of Upper-class rich people who didn't have really anything better to do with their lives. So they said oh we're gonna be this Vanguard of the proletariat and we're to take over all of Russia's urban centers.
Starting point is 00:05:49 This is literally, if you look at his electorate, what he's been doing. So it's sort of a tie between the new arrivals, first-generation immigrants, and the sort of urban elite youth who are just sort of lackadaisical and don't have anything better to do with their lives. That's now his electoral core and it's the exact same electoral coalition that Vladimir Lenin used when communism was tried the first time around. So what is the most defensible part, Andrew, of his thing? Is the fact that he's a Muslim, the fact that he's a socialist, the fact that he eats with his, writes with his hands,
Starting point is 00:06:29 the fact that he's a phony, he's a foreigner, he wants to turn New York into the third world? Andrew. I mean, I actually want to hear Blake's take on this, but you did call on me. I think it's that he's a total con man. He changes his accents, he larps as know, man, like one of the, one of the people. And I think he just heaps disdain on our culture. I think all of those
Starting point is 00:06:52 things are equally offensive, not to mention what Jack said really resonated with me that he can't find anything better to do with his life because he's a rich kid son and a rich, rich mom and dad. So he's the son of a wealthy family. Can't find anything better to do with his time. So he acts like he's a man of the people and he's really concerned about affordability. And really he's just a race Marxist. And the fact that this is working on such a large swath of even the New York electorate, I find highly offensive. And I just think the, I will tell you, talking to people,
Starting point is 00:07:30 some of my friends and family that are not as political or plugged in, they don't understand why the eating with the hands thing is so offensive, but it is by far one of the most offensive things, I think, to our team and our people that are really plugged in What's that who said that it's not that they don't understand it They just some of my friends and family that are not as like they're like, okay So he eats like a like a foreigner. I'm like exactly he eats like a little funny
Starting point is 00:08:00 Just cuz like we also eat with our bare hands all the time not you that is designated for it though Rice is like the most disgusting thing to be like slurping it into your yeah, it's it's like you're in New York It's not just right like right. It's like curry and you're in New York City. There's no lack of utensils That's the whole point. Yeah, no like to me. What's most appalling about it? It's not so much that it's gross in and of itself It's that it is fake and and more than just it being fake Like ma'am Donnie is not he's not fake in like a basic con man way that would almost be a little endearing he's fake in like a creepy psychopath way and a thing about like psychopaths like real legit
Starting point is 00:08:46 And a thing about like psychopaths, like real legit manipulative lacking in emotion, lacking in empathy, psychopaths who are extremely common in radical left-wing politics, they're often rated by observers as really authentic. So you'll hear all these takes like, oh, man, Donnie, he's so authentic because he represents this, like he's bringing this like pro worker platform and like I look at Mamdani and all I think is like this guy is an obvious scheming psychopath who he like you could slightly change the inputs and this guy would decide a completely different political platform is how he could get to power but he happens to have grown up in this world where radical far left politics is the way to do it, and he will adjust accordingly. So I'm almost not even as worried as some people that if he won, he would necessarily do all of his agenda, because so much of his agenda, I suspect, is the means of assent.
Starting point is 00:09:36 And once he's in power, he would be focused on entrenching his power and taking out perceived enemies. The problem would not so much be that we have a communist even like every time a little communist movement yeah the problem would be having a psychopath in power not having a communist in power like that's how he comes off to me everything so fake accents like the fake third worldism this has always been this is it what you're talking about is my contention though, is that that is actually how communism works in reality, in practice, right? It's that the, the, this
Starting point is 00:10:10 and I saw that like Fox News had this capitalism versus socialism and here are the things that he's claiming for, they always claim those things. Oh, we're going to free stuff for everyone. It's going to be great. But that's not actually what they want. What they want is all of the things Blake that you are saying so My the thesis and this was the whole like like book that I wrote last year about this was that the communists don't actually Believe in communism. They just want to jump ahead to the subjugating their enemies and rewarding their friends part Yeah, and like you that's why you'd end up with these like crappy state-run Grocery stores is it just be like it would be a way to That's why you'd end up with these crappy state-run grocery stores.
Starting point is 00:10:45 It would be a way to entrench the authority and the patronage that routes through him. He would be able to control who got the contract. He would be herding rival nodes of power. Same thing with the rent freeze. That's a way to, again, enhance his power, reduce everyone else's power, and it doesn't require the city to actually be nice in any way. One of the most Toxic things about urban politics in particular actually is there's often a lot of reason to make the city worse
Starting point is 00:11:13 Because you drive out the people who oppose you and there are going to be a die-hard base that like student matter It's super dark. But like that's for example I think the original person this was coined for was a long time mayor of Boston who kind of drove all he was like his base was Irish. This is when I you know there was like a lot of Irish that was kind of like the core working class base in Boston and he would like always win with Irish voters and he kind of just turned out a lot of the upper middle class that opposed him. But the Irish base would elect him and he just got to the point where he could never lose. A more recent example,
Starting point is 00:11:48 Detroit. So Detroit was like 50 50 in the late 60s and they elected Coleman Young and Coleman Young was a horrible mayor of Detroit. But he was so horrible that he drove all the anti-Coleman young people out of Detroit. Auburn Hills. Yeah, and he just became this like emperor of Detroit and you know even even if your city's a dump being the mayor of the city that's a dump is well we have to remember though I mean and Blake might have a different opinion here he said something in the chat so I want you to defend it but New York was really bad in the 70s and 80s. And you're like well even if it gets bad it's not as bad as other cities.
Starting point is 00:12:25 But New York does have a history of being a complete rat hole. Yes, for sure. When Donald Trump first came onto the scene in 1970s, it was legitimate prostitutes on almost every corner. It was a litter-filled city. The famous one is- It was really bad. The infamous one is if you watch taxi driver
Starting point is 00:12:46 Yes, taxi driver. Yeah, like they're going to these like nudie theaters that are showing like dirty news Those were in Times Square. You just had either in time striptease right there in Times Square You could get mugged just walking out of one of those places So let's just first take two. Let's just do two lessons here number one It's a lesson that things in America can get better That they actually just because you're in a cycle of decline doesn't mean it has to. But number two, it goes that New York can also go back to that. But you're a little bit less convinced. But I look at London, I'm like, nope, a good city can be destroyed. So London, London can is definitely gone downhill,
Starting point is 00:13:18 but it's never gone downhill nearly as bad as New York did. Like New York. No, I agree. They were doing the burning down buildings. We have not gone back to where New York was. No, just to give the scale of it, I think in its absolute worst year, which I think was 1991, one of the sort of late 80s, early 90s span, New York, I think broke 2000 murders in a year. 2000 murders.
Starting point is 00:13:40 It's incomprehensible. Incomprehensible. I mean, Chicago at its worst, which smaller city of course, but Chicago at its worst I think hit. 500 something. Yeah, maybe like 800 during one of the peak Floyd years. And then, so imagine more than double that.
Starting point is 00:13:54 But do you think that it's realistic that New York could get like how Boston was or Detroit where they just run people out and it starts to become a gutter? It's harder. You don't, like New York is more diverse. There's more like levers you have to work with. There's boroughs. There's the boroughs. There's like a lot of entrenched groups
Starting point is 00:14:14 that are really centered on New York. I think it would be hard, like just as an example, you have, you know, several hundred thousand like Orthodox Jews. I don't think they're going to get like turfed out terribly easily. A lot of their culture is like based there so that's like a political bedrock um there's always people predicting that like the financial institutions will leave new york and it's like they're just like unkillable i mean some are going
Starting point is 00:14:38 to miami that's some are some are or even just jersey but like the new york stock exchange is in new york and there's clearly a lot of like cultural power to that. You can definitely make New York worse. He can definitely drive a lot of people out of New York. He can definitely make it worse on the margins. You would have to make it really, really, really bad to get back into that death spiral of the 70s and 80s where it was just unliveably terrible in huge parts of the 70s and 80s where it was just unliveably terrible in huge parts of the of the city Another part of it is like New York's gotten very diverse But like it's gotten diverse with groups that aren't necessarily like going to
Starting point is 00:15:14 Destroy the city like you have a lot of so here's Asian immigrant. It's a good trivia question What of all New York City voters what borough has the most voters the most voters? Let me think I think no Brooklyn has the most people Queen's Queens would be my guess off the top of my head my guess would be probably Brooklyn because most people and Queens I think I would have said I would have said Manhattan but so Brooklyn has 30% it's the most populous burrow by far, followed by Queens. Very immigrant, very diverse. Manhattan is 19 percent.
Starting point is 00:15:49 The Bronx is 15 percent. And then Staten Island is six percent, which Staten Island is like the MAGA Corp. I would have not been surprised if Queens was somehow even behind Manhattan just because there's so many immigrants. I wouldn't be surprised if the non-citizen percentage was higher. But yeah, no, it's like it's the outer boroughs that decide these. I think Manhattan looms so large in the cultural consciousness that it dominates and people just sort of assume that's New York. But most of New York is just this vast sprawl of
Starting point is 00:16:17 the Long Island boroughs and the Bronx. And that will decide the way things go. That will decide the way things go. Go to wirefy.com. Private student loan debt in America totals about $300 billion, about $45 billion. That is labeled as distressed. Wirefy can reduce your settlement to each borrower based on a specific situation. Wirefy can reduce your monthly payment and guarantees interest rates under 6%. They do not care what your credit score is. You don't have to ignore that mountain of student loan statements on your table anymore.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Go to whyrefi.com. That is whyrefi.com. Just call 888-WYREFI34 or check out whyrefi.com. May not be available in all 50 states. That is whyrefi.com. That is whyrefi.com. You can skip a payment every six months of 12 times that penalty. So go to why refi.com that is why refi.com. So, Andrew, how does this then impact politics nationally? We had Mark Halpern on the podcast and he said that Democrats are worried that he's going to become the poster child of all Democrat politics across the country. Yeah, I think that, you know, I think that we don't know, first of all, but I would say that I sort of agree with some of the things Blake has said, that is, this is now out in the open.
Starting point is 00:17:36 He is the test case of whether or not a far-left socialist or communist can just be out with his public opinion, seizing the means of production, which is straight out of the Marx playbook. You are going full anti-Whitey, right? You're going, we're going to tax whiter neighborhoods, globalize the Intifada, all of these things he's just now out and proud with. But you also made this point with Mark that this has been going on really since Occupy Wall Street movement, but then Bernie Sanders won the 2016 Democrat primary. You have to understand the modern Democrat party is a socialist party, if not largely a communist party. So that's what we're up against. There is institutional backing for these things and if they if he proves that he can win by being out
Starting point is 00:18:29 and proud with this stuff then guess what? All the Democrats, the establishment Democrats that have have said these things maybe behind closed doors are now going to start saying this in public. So this these people really believe this. I think that you also made a really interesting point about how our nation is, the inequality gap between the really, really rich and the really, really poor is growing. And that creates an opening for the Mamdani's of the world.
Starting point is 00:18:55 And I think that's a, you cannot overlook that. And you cannot overlook the fact that these ideas while tried and tested and have been proven failures throughout history, that a whole new generation of Americans are not going to simply embrace them because either they want to see everything burned down or they believe the lies that it's never really been tried before and that Mom Donnie's, he's just a really good guy. So he's going to be the one that finally gets this right. I'm to be honest, I think we're in a really dangerous place. And just because we had an election win in 2024, this can all slip away very quickly. And we could see New York as the precursor of things to come.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Now, yeah, he's going to present a foil, and we have to win. We have to win that argument in the public square. But it's going to be a real challenge. I think I'm going into this wide-eyed. I don't think he's just some clown that's going to be a real challenge. I think I'm going into this wide-eyed. I don't think he's just some clown that's going to be easy to be. No, I agree. He's got real talent. And I agree with Blake. I think there's something psychopathic about him. But Blake, I'm sorry, Jack, let's go a level deeper. Jack, here's my advice, both privately and publicly, to the Trump political team, to anyone that wants to run for president in
Starting point is 00:20:01 2028. Here is my advice, and I tell them this. I say the following. I say if we do not start to rebuild the American middle class and build an economy of owners, you are going to get hundreds of Mamdani's across the country. Inequality, price of living, economics is actually what is driving this lunatic. Look, I'm happy to talk about the fact he's Muslim. People are afraid to talk, but I'm happy to talk about the fact that he's a third-worlder. But he does have an emphasis and a focus on economics. I want you to answer that question.
Starting point is 00:20:31 And then Angelo, while we're doing this, can you get the cut of Mamdani saying he wouldn't visit a foreign country, because I want to talk about that second. But first, Blake, Jack, I want you to focus on, what does it mean if we do not have we do not have a middle class economy again? What would that mean for our national politics? So Charlie, here's here's what's going on in the populist movement and why populism
Starting point is 00:20:54 is on the rise. Populism is on the rise. Go back to the very, very, very initial start of the Tea Party, which you can say is the rise of the populist right and then Occupy Wall Street was the rise of the populist left. So you got 2011-2012 right around the same time frame, but all of which was happening in the wake of what? It was happening in the wake of, or no even prior, excuse me, the Tea Party was 2009-2010. And so it was the bailouts, right? The bailout, the Bassett Bank bailouts of the global financial crisis and then Rick Santilli gets up on on CNBC and says they are they are screwing you over
Starting point is 00:21:34 Everyone who's a homeowner they're screwing you over and they're gonna sell out you or they're gonna help out your big banks those guys are gonna get these massive bailouts from government. And George W. Bush, in a clip, by the way, that has been almost completely scrubbed from the internet, I was able to track it down a couple of months ago, but a clip that's almost completely scrubbed says, we're going to use socialism to save capitalism, use socialism to save capitalism. Everything from that point on has led to this massive infusion of through what you call a quantitative easing, whatever this huge money printing that's happened
Starting point is 00:22:11 has created massive wealth disparities in the United States. Now you can call me whatever you want, what kind of names, oh, you're a conservative, you're not supposed to be talking about wealth inequality. Well, it's true. Okay, it's just true. So people can see that those at the top are getting massively wealthy and are exorbitantly just taking off and skyrocketing off into the solar system, literally in the case of Jeff Bezos at one point. Remember, Jeff Bezos during the during the COVID lockdowns during the pandemic was flying around conducting an orbit of the planet while everyone else was locked down on, you know, on Earth. This was like the plot of a bad sci-fi movie with Matt Damon. And it generated a lot of ill will towards what we call the billionaires and millionaires or the capitalist cl- whatever you want to call it, okay?
Starting point is 00:23:01 And so, the way that the populist right wants to address this problem through President Trump, through populist nationalism, through America First, is to say, hey, we don't disparage success. But what we want is for all tides, all boats to rise with that rising tide. We want to increase the floor. We're going to raise the floor, the level of that up for lower class, working class, and then middle class. So, and allow people, by the way, access to that middle class lifestyle that they've been trying to do. And particularly, you see this with young voters. What the populist left wants to do is they want to take this situation, and by the way the intergenerational conflict that you see between zoomers and Baby boomers right now, which is massive and absolutely real and if anyone who doesn't believe so I mean, you're just you're just not paying attention trial you you see this I'm sure a ton on campus, but the what the populace left once is Luigi Maggioni They want Luigi Maggioni to come in
Starting point is 00:24:04 And just start taking out, just start taking out the- Is that you, Jack, or is that Andrew? Sorry, that was something on my end. Not me. No, that was, I think, AOC actually just popped up on the screen there. She's so angry. So the populace left, they want Luigi Magioneioni They want people to start tearing them apart and they want to tear down everything that these CEOs and and billionaires and wealthy have and
Starting point is 00:24:32 So you're really left with two viable political options One viable option is the path of MAGA the path of populist right to say we can do this and we can we can Settle these issues in a way that's you know to use the phrase equitable for all or you can go the populist left route and the populist left route it's it's amazing because you've got Zoram and Dami and Luigi Maggioni this takes place in the same city right so Luigi Maggioni just committed a street execution of a CEO on the streets of New York City, the same city where Zoram Mamdani, who is preaching the very same rhetoric that Luigi did, comes in and says, well, we can do this by election, we can do this by law, but the
Starting point is 00:25:19 pressures don't go away. What you've really got are kind of the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks, one who wants to do it in an electoral way, one who wants to do it in an absolute tear down and kill the rich sort of way. But either way, Charlie, for anyone who wants to run in 2028, they absolutely have to understand that these pressures are real. They're not going any, they're not going away. And when you look at the working class in the swing states that we need, particularly the Rust Belt, so Western Pennsylvania, then up into Michigan and Wisconsin states that even though Romney and Paul Ryan were from these states, they could never win them because they had no idea how to actually talk to the working class of those states.
Starting point is 00:26:02 And if you don't do that, you are going to lose. And if you start putting things and distractions and side quests ahead of the main quest, getting rid of the illegals and helping the economy here at home, then guess what? They are going to go in for whatever snake oil the sociopaths of the communist Marxists are going to offer. Charlie Kirk here. Crime is skyrocketing. You may already own a firearm, but before you face the financial and emotional weight of pulling the trigger, consider Berna.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Berna's less lethal launchers fire tear gas and kinetic rounds designed to incapacitate attackers for up to 40 minutes, giving you time to escape and call for help without deadly consequences. I use Berna. My family all has, and now meet the new compact launcher, an amazing product. Sleek, slim, and hits like a sledgehammer, but the size of a smartphone, it's perfect for concealed carry. Comfortable, discreet, and confidence building, it fires at 400 feet per second with 41 joules
Starting point is 00:27:00 per square inch of stopping power. That's enough force to halt a threat cold that the legal and moral complexities of lethal force. What I love about Berna is they're proudly American. Over 80% of their compact launchers components are sourced in America and each unit is hand assembled in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Best of all, Berna is legal in all 50 states. No background checks, ships directly to your door.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Trusted by hundreds of police departments and government agencies around the world. Visit Byrna to learn more. That is BYRNA.com. Okay, I want to play this piece of tape here. I think people are probably giving this too much credit, but it is a showing of Mamdani wanting to prioritize New York. Now people, they viewed this as an anti-Israel sentiment, which of course Mamd know, Israel and probably hates Jews and globalizing the Infatata, all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:48 That's Intifada. But I think it is important because I'm going to use this clip as a way to explain Gen Z politics in a way that is flummoxing a lot of our older audience, and then I'll throw it to Blake. Play cut 396. Mr. Mamdani, can I just jump in? Would you visit Israel as mayor? I've said in a UJA questionnaire
Starting point is 00:28:10 that I believe that you need not travel to Israel to stand up for Jewish New Yorkers. And that is what I will be doing as the mayor. I'll be standing up for Jewish New Yorkers and I'll be meeting them wherever they are across the five boroughs, whether that's in their synagogues and temples or at their homes or at the subway platform, because ultimately we need to focus on delivering on their concerns.
Starting point is 00:28:29 And just yes or no, do you believe in a Jewish state of Israel? I believe Israel has the right to exist. As a Jewish state? No, as a state with equal rights. He won't say it has the right to exist. As a Jewish state, be very clear on that. And his answer was no, he won't visit Israel. I said that very clearly.
Starting point is 00:28:44 That's what he was trying to say. No, no, no. Unlike you, I answer questions very directly. I want to be very clear. I believe every state should be a state of equal rights. Okay, thank you. Okay, so this is important. In the chat, genius answer, brilliant.
Starting point is 00:28:57 So is it a stupid question to ask? You're the mayor of New York City. You're not going to be dealing with foreign affairs, but there are a lot of Jews and Muslims in your city. Let me tell you why but there are a lot of Jews and Muslims in your city. Let me tell you why this resonated with a lot of Gen Zers. And then Blake, I want you to explain the clip more than comment on it, which is there is this trend with younger voters saying, our country's falling apart, we can't afford basic necessities, houses are out of reach, stop with the foreign pandering, whatever
Starting point is 00:29:22 country it might be. And look, I'm pro-israel obviously I'm explaining Therefore why don't we have someone that is obsessed with us? Obsessed with what's local what's immediate not what is abstract and foreign Blake exactly And I think you see some awareness of this a few months ago We had that viral clip with Ilhan Omar where she was saying in Somali, like I am the lawmaker for Somalis. I will look out for Somali interests.
Starting point is 00:29:52 And then like that clip, it was so insane. It was like he could have scripted that. It was so perfect for him where he has this circular squad of people like needling him and bullying him like why won't you like take this opinion on a foreign country whether you agree with that take on the foreign country or not why is a guy running for mayor being browbeaten about whether he will endorse the particular status of a foreign state thousands of miles away and it was so easy for so many millions,
Starting point is 00:30:27 well, I don't wanna say millions, thousands of New Yorkers to look at that and be like, holy cow, everyone else running in this race is obsessed with these like identity issues revolving around a foreign state, a foreign conflict. And it was so easy for him to come out and say, actually, I will put New York state, a foreign conflict. And it was so easy for him to come out and say, actually, I will put New York first, a novel idea.
Starting point is 00:30:46 I will not go on foreign trips. I will be focused on actual things relevant to New Yorkers. It was just an incredibly easy political layup for this guy. So Andrew, can you help explain this to our audience, which is that some older folks say they would have thought Mom Donnie gave a terrible answer. Oh my goodness. He'd said he would not visit a foreign country or visit Israel. When in reality, younger people loved it, not necessarily because they hate Israel,
Starting point is 00:31:16 but there's some vibe or aura to that which is like, no, I care about New York City. Can you help explain that for those that might not quite capture what is animating the under 30 crowd? Yeah, I mean the generational divide, Charlie, is so extreme and it's very, very hard to explain this to like boomers or older folks. No disrespect, it's just the generational sea change I think is more dramatic than any of my over 50 friends understand or realize if you are under a certain age, especially
Starting point is 00:31:50 under 30, but even if you're under 4045, you're sick of the you're sick of feeling like America has to be drawn into foreign conflicts because of Israel that are our our alignment with Israel from a foreign policy standpoint. There's a belief that it's caused more harm than good. And a lot of people are sympathetic to Israel, even in that sub-40 category. They just don't want to feel so attached to the hip, and they don't like when politicians signal that they're marching in lockstep with whatever Bibi Netanyahu says. And that is it. Honestly, this is a movement, Charlie, that in some ways Trump helped start and ignite
Starting point is 00:32:30 and change the way that we look at our foreign politics versus our domestic politics. And people, I think there is a broad realization on the left and the right that we have real problems here in the United States and we gotta deal with those and we have to stop getting distracted by foreign wars, foreign involvements, engagements and distractions. And that doesn't mean those things aren't important. I think Trump has showed us a way that there is a third way, right?
Starting point is 00:32:59 You don't have to get trapped ideologically or on the debate stage into these false binaries and that you can say listen I just love America more and I want to focus on this and to the extent that we can solve foreign entanglements quickly easily or Violently those have to be quick. That's the that's the key And and I just want to reiterate Charlie like if there is a divide that I have seen That is more stark than anything anything is the generational divide on Israel. Jack, do you want to comment on that? I mean, it's just true. It's something where, it's generational, that's for sure. It also comes down, I think, to a variety of factors,
Starting point is 00:33:43 people getting their media from different places. So if you're someone who watches, you know, on that specific on specifically the Israel question, if you're someone who watches TV, you know, you're you're looking at images of, you know, politicians and you're hearing people give speeches, you're going on TikTok. You're seeing up until the ceasefire, of course, you're just seeing images of this parade of horribles out of Gaza. And it's just over and over and over. You see it on X as well. And it's something that kind of galvanizes you and then you hear Wait a minute, you know, my tax dollars are involved in this. I'm not I'm not making an argument here. I'm just sort of
Starting point is 00:34:18 explaining the way that Gen Z when I when I talk to Gen Zers, how they seem to respond to it, they say, Wait a minute, why are my tax dollars going to fund some war in a place that I've never visited against a group of people that doesn't affect me in any way whatsoever, and I can't afford basic food, and I can't afford rent, and I can't afford to be able to own a home, or if I can't get married and have kids and do all of these things. And that's something that cuts across party lines. That's something that affects people very deeply because these are pocketbook issues, these are wallet issues. And so people want to know why it
Starting point is 00:34:56 is that the United States of America or politicians, right, they sort of just look at it as politicians. Oh, well, they don't care because they just want to do everything to serve the baby boomers and the baby boomers want to watch whatever is a better TV show on cable news. Meanwhile, it feels to me and again, like I'm not a Zoomer, but I've, when I talk to Zoomers about this, they say, I just don't feel like I'm heard. I feel like I'm told to shut up. I feel like I'm told that, oh, I either need to pull myself up are my bootstraps, or I get labeled anti semitic or I get labeled, you know, some some bigoted Zelda, you know, Zelda did anti whatever, you know, kind of
Starting point is 00:35:37 name. And it's like, no, it's just I see some I see my government working on behalf of people all around that such as Israel, but it's all around the world, all the USAID and stuff that was going on. And a lot of these same forces, a lot of these same pressures are the same things that President Trump and his direct popularity came from was by saying that we will be able to present an opinion
Starting point is 00:36:03 and present a solution to all of these problems by saying, we're gonna put America first, which means putting Americans first. And this was even in the wake of the, you know, tens of millions in pallets of cash to Iran, or, you know, giving billions to Afghanistan for a government that was just gonna collapse and hand it over to the Taliban.
Starting point is 00:36:22 Again and again and again, the trillions of dollars spent in the Middle East. That's what led to the rise of President Trump in the first place. And my own worry, though, is that if these same issues aren't dealt with, then you're going to get people like a Mamdani or a Luigi Maggioni or others that are going to come up and use them to go in a very different direction. Making America great again starts with making America healthy again.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Charlie Kirk here. I lost 40 pounds with the PhD weight loss and nutrition program. And two years later, I haven't gained a pound back. I started the PhD weight loss program because I need to be healthy to keep up with my crazy schedule. Most people start a weight loss program to get healthier. So why is big pharma spending millions to convince you to use their weight loss injections that do just the opposite? They have harmful side effects and lifelong dependency. Take a natural approach that is in connected to a big pharma bottom line. PhD changes the way you think about food. They custom design a plan that is simple and works with your schedule. You'll learn to quiet cravings
Starting point is 00:37:32 and finally release the unhealthy belly fat. You won't be hungry and you'll never take medication. Call 8664-644-1900 to schedule your one-on-one consultation or visit myphdweightloss.com. That is myphdweightloss.com. 864-644-1900. Let's move to the 4 a.m. topic. Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:55 All right. So this is very fun. Let's get right into it because we have the hard stops. So the 4 a.m. club, this got attention last, I think last week from the free press. It's been going a while. Basically, let's just, it's been going a while. Basically let's just, we just have to play it. Play 376.
Starting point is 00:38:09 Left-wing version of QAnon is here and they believe that Kamala Harris really won the election. This group is called the 4 a.m. club. Basically on November 6, thousands of people were woken up around 4 a.m. and those people were called to anchor in the higher timeline where Kamala was the winner. The call was sent out and we received it. It was founded by this woman who goes by Gia Prism on TikTok.
Starting point is 00:38:32 I am a psychic medium. I'm a healer. She sort of gives downloads as she calls them from spirit. This contest wasn't right. We will yet get a different result in the end. I was shown him falling from something to do with blood on the brain. Okay, I'm seeing lower level leaders will be removed before the top ones. It bears a striking resemblance to QAnon, except everything has been feminized. Instead of searching
Starting point is 00:38:57 through Reddit boards and 8chan to find what they're looking for, they go deep within themselves, trusting their feminine intuition, their gut, the divine goddess. The 4 a.m. clubbers, I don't think, are going to be scaling the Capitol anytime soon. But I do think they represent the next chapter in the story of political conspiracies. It shows that the American population feels both completely out of control and lied to. Well, first of all, that was great reporting. That was Barry Weiss's sister. It was really well done. Susie Weiss. Amazing.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Yeah, it's Barry Weiss's sister. What's her name? Susie Weiss. So credit to her. That was a really well put together summary and honestly kind of based being like the feminine intuition. Like it was really good. So credit to her.
Starting point is 00:39:37 I hope to have her on the show. Blake, I'll start with you because you were just losing it in the midst of this. It really is. So I've obviously, you know, I've always been a fan of some, reading some of that strange stuff. You love this stuff. Real, real raw news, that like weird, you know, military tribunal stuff, which is still going by the way. They're, they're loving the alligator Alcatraz thing.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Oh, the tribunals are going. All of the, all of the deep staters are going to alligator Alcatraz. They'll be executed there, sure, sure enough, on real raw news, all that strange stuff. But yeah, like this, how it's the perfect mirror image where it incorporates all the like left-wing ways so like it's a vibe if anything it's almost it's a lot like that Mandela effect thing have you heard about this oh Mandela's inch that's really interesting so you don't like it well I think it's sort of silly because some people really believe in it when well hold on but there is something do you not?
Starting point is 00:40:25 Misremember things from your childhood people do why is it that other people also? Misremember what you misremember because it's an easy thing to misremember like Fruit of the loom one is I'm not gonna leave I think there's the loom one is the one I'm militant on this the fruit of the loom one is just because there's like a Different company that had a cornucopia in it and people think of that no there's a hundred percent of cornucopia by the way and then it was the Baronstein another example I think it's parents team bears because stein with the EIN is way more common there's a ton of steins out there I'm not even saying there's
Starting point is 00:40:58 man I am saying we're talking there's something going on yeah there's something to this I don't know what it is so this is this 4 a.m. Club fits in so perfectly There they basically have this This feeling and it can't just be oh, I had a feeling We have evidence that we all agree like that's different. We don't have evidence No, no meaning we all we all have a memory of something That's different than like I woke up and I think Kamala is president. But keep going. It's totally different. You know, I feel like actually what we should do, we should play the follow-up clip where they really get into this
Starting point is 00:41:34 because I just love it. They think we're merging with like a new timeline, like we're in the wrong timeline and we've got to return to the current one. Wait, Blake, Blake, can we're in the wrong timeline and we've got to return to wait like one like can we throw up the? 400 fruit of the loom the cornucopia because this one just blew my mind So they say that it's always been the left one, but everybody seems to remember the cornucopia I I completely remember the cornucopia I Think it's a marketing ploy to make them relevant again. That's what I think it is I remember the cornucopia I could tell you there was a cornucopia that no I'm telling you right now the cornucopia is legit We're being lied to Apparently the old logo had brown leaves in it and that's what people kind of thought it was a cornucopia
Starting point is 00:42:23 That one no, no, it's not like I thought it was a cornucopia that one no no it's not like I thought it was a cornucopia it was that cornucopia like that's it right there pretty sure you can like find old clothes was it with with the cornucopia on it a hundred percent yeah see look at my mom has actually been going through like some of our old home videos I wonder like from when I was a kid, I wonder if and like, you know, dig digitizing them and stuff. So I wanna see if maybe we can like,
Starting point is 00:42:50 maybe we can test this and see if there's, you know, like a logo or something. Cause I remember having one when I was in like grade, you know, maybe kindergarten preschool or something. But I feel like it's, I feel like that's where I remember the word cornucopia. Right? You learn, I guess around Thanksgiving. It's how we all learned it. Yeah, like what is that? Hey, what is that? Oh I remember the word cornucopia right you learn I guess around that we all learned it Yeah, like what is that? Hey? What is that? Oh, that's a cornucopia. What's a cornucopia, and then you just say it
Starting point is 00:43:13 We should play the other clip of this just because it really does get into how like loopy they are So this is Gia prism. She's like the face of the 4 a.m.. Club Really getting into it has to be seen to believe Lee let's play 386 we were woken up in the night eerily around 4 a.m. I've read every single one of those comments and here I'm gonna tell you what it all means the short of it is we were called to anchor in the same timeline so many people are saying I'm on the wrong timeline, blah blah blah. No, here's the truth. The higher timeline where the divine feminine anchors in does include a supposed election of the male
Starting point is 00:43:56 candidate, I'm not gonna say his name, because his corruption needs to be revealed and it needs to be so massive, so undeniable, and so chaotic that people who have been fooled by him can finally wake up and come out of the spell. So here's the overview of what people were experiencing. Some of us were woken up with a feeling of dread. Some of us were physically vomiting, purging. Others were just in fear and panic. And then on the other side of things you had people who were woken up from dreams, where they saw her winning, where they heard her winning, where they saw certain states flip and go blue, where they saw a
Starting point is 00:44:28 map of the United States. So many of us were tuned into the timeline that Kamala Harris is the winner. And there's another subset of people who were actually feeling the energies and who were repeating mantras. Energies. There's actually so it is so much like a combination of of like QAnon and the Mandela Effect because the Mandela Effect part of the theory is that it was like that in the past and we had the timeline shift. A lot of them fixed it on 9-11 like after 9-11 the timeline shifted because it was such a dramatic event. Oh is that right?
Starting point is 00:45:01 Yes that's a common part of it. And then of course, the QAnon version is, you know, the trust the plan thing, like all that's the secret military tribunals are happening. But like, we're not ready. It had to like, people had to be ready to accept what was going on. They wouldn't believe it if they just did it. So you have to, you know, wait. And it's like that where we had to let this happen, because people wouldn't accept how corrupt Trump was unless, he was allowed to win and we got a temporary delving into that corrupt timeline reality but I love how they they say the
Starting point is 00:45:35 higher timeline is the feminine divine timeline fine fun I know Jack really agrees with this so there's no I I totally believe the 4am club. I believe the 4am club. I 100% agree with everything they're saying. I'm some and so I'm a Christian. So I believe in the supernatural. I believe in obviously different timelines and different dimensions. In that sense, you know, a higher higher plane lower plane that they're talking about. Because as a Christian, we're called to believe these things because that's what the Bible is about. And so when they talk about it though, it's just they've got their order mixed up because that's a lower timeline that they're talking about, where Kamala Harris is able to become president and unleashes these demonic
Starting point is 00:46:19 energies of communism across the world. As it turns out, the true timeline is the timeline that reverted into place. And so we were on a trajectory where perhaps we were in this false timeline created, you know, you could say at some point in 2020 or whatever, but now we're back into base reality. So they were heading, trying to put us in this false reality where again, and so many people could look around
Starting point is 00:46:44 and see evidence of the false reality where again and so many people could look around and see evidence of the false reality all around you Lies were treated as truth up was treated as down men were called women women were called men. This is all Emblematic of a false reality that they were trying to impose upon true reality. So we've reverted back That's what they're upset about and what they felt regarding these you know regarding these timeline shifts was actually the shift back to the true reality which is base reality and as we all know base reality is based what if we were in the false timeline but Shinzo Abe was fighting in
Starting point is 00:47:24 the spiritual realm because we know him and Trump were friends. And so we were headed towards the bad timeline, but then Shinzo Abe saved Trump's life in Butler, Pennsylvania. On July 13th, 2024. Have you seen this, right Charlie? Like the idea that's why he turned his head. So I heard the whisper of an old friend. Maybe that's what saved us from the dark timeline. That is canon! What I love about that is, it's a funny meme in and of itself, but what's genuinely heartwarming is Japanese people are aware of this and like find it extremely, extremely heartwarming that Americans came up with this idea and like they make all these like affectionate like Shinzo Abe, Donald Trump, best friend forever images that you can find on Japanese apps.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Abe is his guardian angel Yeah He's the guardian angel I'll watch the skies, I'll watch the streets I miss the Abe Trump like look right there see there's Shinzo looking over Trump on July 13th Donald Rudolfsson! Donald Rudolfsson! Get up! There's whole things about this no don't Donald you must turn this is not your time and then it's like Shinzo Abe the one longer
Starting point is 00:48:29 one it's like he's got a katana blade and he like hits the bullet out of mid air yeah 406 oh there it is and and and it's you know Donald why did you why did you say why did you suddenly turn your head and you said you know for a moment? I thought I heard the voice the sound of the voice of an old friend And that's so good this see this is this is so good our spiritual energy stuff is so much better But it's also There's a joke comical side to it And the left is just like I woke up and I was I was vomiting because nothing you know live women apparently need a reason to you know puke into the toilet all the time and that it had to
Starting point is 00:49:09 be because the timelines wrong we're just like no obviously Shinzo Abe came in to save his best friend that's like a way cooler thing than like the divine feminine energy it's like sorry sorry sorry liberal ladies this the right is better at coming up with funny spiritual. Woo. I love it final final thoughts here Andrew 4 a.m. Club and You can throw Mandela effect in there if you want. Well, I actually have a final thought I mean, I wanted to play this video because I thought it was great I don't know if we have time but you know, there really is to pass before the American pop population mom mom Donnie Luigi This you know this terrifying kind of vigilantism,
Starting point is 00:49:49 coercion, far left-wing revolution, or you get kind of this national populism, conservative populism of Trump, the MAGA movement. You have two routes in front of you. One wants to burn it all down and destroy everything and destroy wealth and seize it all. And the other is going to take some tough medicine but we're going to get to the other side and it's going to actually reset if we want to talk about timelines. It's going to reset the American timeline and put it back on solid footing. I really believe that. And so hopefully our people have enough virtue and common sense and wisdom and understanding of history to choose the right path. And I think New York's going to be a really interesting test case, but a scary one. Hopefully we we we make it out the other side. Last thought, Jack. No, I completely agree. And
Starting point is 00:50:38 unfortunately, even with all of the good that we've done, all of the good that, a little bit that we've done, but the massive amount that President Trump and his movement have done getting on visionary leaders like JD Vance and so many others. These are huge problems. They are problems that still remain and in pockets of the country like New York, they are incontrovertible that it is going on
Starting point is 00:51:06 and there these pressures are leading to these outcomes. So President Trump faces before him a very serious threat and of course it's New York City, right? Think about this. So I mentioned Luigi Maggioni and I mentioned Zora Mamdani but one thing that we haven't pointed out here is that New York City is the same exact city that produced Donald Trump himself. And so the fact that, you know, it really is New York, our greatest city, that's leading to all of these changes that affects the entire nation, then perhaps we should actually fight for it and we should actually fight for the great things that we've created as an American Civilization and I think if there's anything that you want to say on going into the 4th of July, it's that have a great Independence Day Everybody we have to dash Blake final thoughts 10 seconds
Starting point is 00:51:58 No, no, I'm just in just gotta catch Blake at 4 a.m. Come up with Next time you wake up at 4am. Remember you might get a vision that Kamala is president rejected and live in reality. You have to reject it or we might get consumed by that. We might get sucked into the vortex. You have to win the spiritual war. It's Barronstein bears forever. Don't believe the lies in the cornucopia is real.
Starting point is 00:52:21 We are being lied to Mandela Effect, next stop crime scene. Thanks so much for listening everybody. Email us as always, freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
