What Planet Are We Living On?
"Am I living on? I mean, Joe Biden, the other day. You heard him say that conservatives want to defund the police conservatives. And so folks look, Maggie Republicans are calling for defunding the police departments. And defunding the FBI now, that's a good one. I like that one. Well, guess what? And the refused to provide funding is going to keep community safe and secure. And Larry Fink, who runs the largest asset management firm in the world, thinks that totalitarian governments are the best for markets. I mean, maybe they're the best for Larry, but not for markets. No, I'm sorry. Anyway, something's got to give, because when Larry Fink or any other CEO is telling the rest of America where they can put their money and where they can not based on profits, by the way, not based on anything real, just based on well. Do you have a high enough ESG rating? Do you have enough diversity on your board? Do you have a green enough footprint? Well, that's when we I guarantee you will begin to lose our end. We've already lost our exit. That's very, very evident. You've

Who Is Reporter Heather Mullins?
"I haven't introduced you at all, this is the first segment, you know, if somebody says to you, okay, Heather Mullins, what do you do? Who are you? What's your story? How do you describe yourself? You know, it's crazy. I feel like my story is always being written every day is a new day. Currently I'm a reporter and I've been a reporter for about four years now prior to that. I was actually in banking and finance for quite some time. Everything from retirement planning and just banking in general, but I've always wanted to go into journalism just because I feel like I was always that kid in the classroom Eric that had my hand up asking questions and that's really the fundamental thing that you need to be able to do in order to be a good journalist is to ask questions to think outside the box to not necessarily buy everything but to look a little deeper and a little further. And so my career really took off after the 2020 election. I went down to Georgia to cover the recount because Georgia turned blue for the first time since 1992. And it was only by a margin of 12,000 votes. So it was super close. They were doing all these recounts, and I went down there to cover it, having no expectation of what I was about to walk into for all I know, the real story was Joe Biden won case closed. But that is not at all what I found out. There was fraud. There were ballots, thousands of ballots turning up. There was issue after issue and I just kept documenting it and eventually a copy attention of then president Donald Trump, who started sharing my work on Twitter and other social media platforms and from that point forward, I couldn't unsee what I'd seen and when you, when you see your election process so violated and you realize like if we don't have our elections, we have absolutely nothing

Iran-backed fighters on alert in east Syria after US strikes
"Iran backed fighters were on alert in eastern Syria, a day after U.S. forces launched retaliatory air strikes in the embattled country. The U.S. air strikes came a day after a suspected Iran made drone killed a U.S. contractor and wounded several other Americans after the U.S. air strikes, rockets were fired at bases housing U.S. troops in eastern Syria. It's not the first time there's been an exchange of fire between Iran and the U.S. and Syria. However, it comes at a sensitive time. The latest strikes threaten to upend new efforts for peace in the region, such as a recent reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran, a deal which was broken by China, president Joe Biden defended the U.S. air strikes. The United States does not does not emphasize seek conflict with Iran, but be prepared to act forcefully, protect our people. A statement issued by the Iranian consultative center in Syria warned the U.S. not to carry out further strikes in Syria, I'm Karen Chammas

Liberal Takeover: My Chat With Dave Rubin
"I'm not sure he gets another four years at this point. If he does not run again, who are they going to put up? I mean, have they got a bench that's even worth looking at? I think Kamala Harris would be worse if you can imagine worse for the Democrats than Hillary Clinton. And who else am Gavin Newsom, his track record in California would scare the heck out of any other normal American. I don't know who they got. Well, it's interesting because one of the things I've been talking about on the show right now is that the bench that's starting to coalesce on the Republican side is pretty solid. You know, whether you like all these people are not the idea of Trump, desantis, Vivek Rama Swami, Nikki Haley, Mike Pompeo. These are interesting qualified for various reasons people. Now, someone that's on the left may hate all of them, but there's a track record for these people, all of them. The people on the left right now, you're right. I mean, Kamala Harris was polling basically at zero in her own party when she got out when she was originally running against Joe Biden, you know, a couple of years ago. So that's one thing. But the other thing is they have almost nobody. I mean, are you going to put Pete up there? He's highly unqualified even to be transportation secretary. It was a diversity hire. They basically admitted it. We want the first gay transportation secretary. I don't know what your sexuality has to do with your ability to figure out which way roads are supposed to go, but okay, fine. They don't have much and the fact that, you know, most of us seem to think it would be going towards Gavin Newsom is so insane. And I sort of think so too, but it just shows you what is going on on that side of the aisle.

Dave Rubin and Trish Discuss Biden's Drilling 180°
"Joe Biden just did like this huge one 80 on climate. I mean, excuse me, is this the same guy that sat there in the debate and said, absolutely no drilling, no drilling. We're never going to drill on federal lands. And now, what do you know? He's got his willow project up there in Alaska, $8 billion with ConocoPhillips. I mean, look, I'm all for it because I think you need as much energy as you can possibly get it. It was kind of foolish to wind up in the situation that we're in in Ukraine without having a backstop of U.S. energy, but this is not going to go over well with the base in his party. Now is it Dave? Well, it's so interesting because nobody really knows what Joe Biden believes anymore, right? Like, so when he said the no drilling thing during the debates. It's like, okay, I get it. You're playing to the base on that one. And you'll probably moderate when you're president. Now that sort of seems like what he's doing in this case. But who knows what he really thinks when it comes to climate change? Does he honestly think anything related to any of this or is this that the inmates in essence are running the asylum? And every now and again, it gets so crazy with the progressives that we're going to have to completely destroy the economy and the name of AOC's Green New Deal and whatever else they're trying to push on us and the ESG stuff and all the diversity and equity stuff. Every now and again, it gets so wildly out of control that whoever is pulling Biden's strings, whether it's doctor Jill Biden or whoever it is over there, whether it's Barack Obama or who knows, they somehow get him to moderate just a tiny bit at moments. And that's what this one strikes me as. So of course we can not completely abandon American energy. We should have never been doing it in the first place. I completely agree with you. I mean, we should be drilling more and more. We should be really the planet's number one exporter of this stuff. And instead, we are constantly just kneecapping ourselves. And, you know, unfortunately, that's just consistent

Appeals court blocks vaccine mandate for US gov't workers
"And appeals court has blocked a vaccine mandate for U.S. government workers, I'm Lisa dwyer. A federal appeals court has blocked president Joe Biden's order that federal employees get vaccinated against COVID-19. The 5th U.S. circuit Court of Appeals rejected arguments that Biden as the nation's chief executive has the same authority as the CEO of a private corporation to require the employees be vaccinated, opponents of the policy said it was an encroachment of federal workers lives that neither the constitution nor federal statutes authorize Biden issued the executive order in September 2021. The White House said at one point that 98% of federal workers were vaccinated. U.S. district judge Jeffrey Brown appointed by then president Donald Trump issued a nationwide injunction against the requirement back in January 2022. I'm Lisa dwyer

Tara Reade Reacts to Ashley Biden's Alleged Diary Entry
"We are back with Tara Reade. Tara, I wanted to get your reaction to this. This is a diary entry from Ashley Biden. The diary has been confirmed as real and authentic and one of her entries says this. It just says hyper sexualized at a young age. What is this due to? Was I molested? I think so. I can't remember specifics, but I do remember trauma. I remember not liking the wool Zack's house. I remember somewhat being sexualized with Caroline. I remember having sex with friends at a young age, showers with my dad probably not appropriate. What's your reaction to seeing something like that? Yeah, I mean, that's a deeply personal diary entry. So my heart goes out to whoever wrote that. I mean, and obviously they've verified that it's Ashley Biden. I think it's deeply disturbing. I mean, I don't know how anyone could not read that and think that's not deeply disturbing. Yeah. Yeah, it's tragic because for a long time the left tried to discredit the diary pretend it wasn't real. It's kind of like what they did with Hunter Biden trying to discredit the laptop and all of this as opposed to seeing this is a person in such deep pain. I mean, I feel horrible for Ashley Biden having to go through this. That's so sad she mentioned even with her sister. And then you think of hunter. I mean, he's, of course, guilty of crimes, but he's also a disturbed person. Dad wasn't there for him. There was a lot of personal information on the laptop. He struggles with drug addiction and things like that. And so it's really sad to see the left just kind of belittle it and act like, oh, it doesn't matter. It's not a big deal. We're just going to prop up Joe Biden as opposed to focusing on the whether it's sexual assault or mental health.

Tara Reade Reflects on Her Time as a Senate Aide for Biden
"You went in there with a lot of idealism. You had goals, you wanted to learn new things when you went to work there. So when you got there as a Senate aide, when did things kind of begin to maybe not feel less idealistic or as positive while you were there. Well, almost right away, unfortunately. You know, and I want to contrast it a little bit to Leon Panetta's office. Leon Panetta's office was very professional. You know, politically, I may not agree with everything. He does, but he was very serious minded, and he worked very hard. And the office was very structured. It was just like what you would expect a normal like you're trying to do things for your constituents. And it was a normal working environment. Biden's office was, it was a shock. It wasn't that way at all. It was very top down kind of people were treated not very well. Lower stuff. I mean, for an example, one of my colleagues who had an advanced degree and worked as a legislative aid was telling the senator advising him how to vote and giving him information. He was delegated to drive the limo for Beau Biden and his date for the inaugural events. And he had to do that as a volunteer. He wasn't paid for that. And it's not like. And I mean, they just kind of treated their stuff like minions. Unless they were on the inside track and then they were given a lot of favor. So it was a very strange environment. Joe Biden did not seem serious to me. He seemed more, he didn't seem intellectually committed to what he was doing is what I'm trying to say. And I got that right away. The way he would touch me, I thought was unusual, but remember this is the 90s. What was tolerated then is very different than what happens now, but even then it was usual. And unusual enough for me to call my mother and say, hey, you know, this happened, and this happened. And I kept calling her and she said, you know, she educated me, really. You know, that's not okay. That's sexual harassment. He has power over you, and he shouldn't be doing that.

Pro-labor? Biden aims to prove it with unionized 2024 staff
"When president Joe Biden announces his expected reelection campaign, political allies say he'll be the first president to run a reelection campaign with a staff represented by a union. Biden likes to say he's the most pro union president in U.S. history and running a reelection campaign with a unionized staff would allow Biden to further demonstrate to his base just how deep his pro labor convictions are. There have been presidential candidates with unionized campaign staffs, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Julian Castro had unionized campaign staffs in 2020, and Biden's campaign unionized after clinching the democratic nomination that year. This time Biden's campaign will unionize earlier in the process. Biden is expected to announce a reelection campaign as soon as next month. Donna water Washington

Biden approval dips near lowest point: AP-NORC poll
"A new poll finds president Joe Biden's approval rating dipping slightly. The new poll by The Associated Press and the norc center for public affairs research finds Biden's approval rating at 38% this month as the president and his administration confront two bank failures and inflation that remains stubbornly high. Biden's approval rating in February was 45% at in January 41%, just 31% approve of Biden's handling of the national economy about where it's been over the course of the last year. The difference between Biden's approval overall and his approval on the economy is driven largely by Democrats, 76% say they approve of how Biden is handling his job as president, while 63% approve of his handling of the economy few Republicans approve of Biden on either count.

Welcome to the Police State
"Guys, let me just ask you a question. You realize that the left needs violence, or they need lawlessness in order to prevail in order for this communist takeover of America, which is basically what the left is trying to do. You realize that they need lawlessness. Now there was a major blow to this case in Manhattan. This Manhattan DA, this puppet for George Soros, and Joe Biden, a major blow that occurred, apparently there is a witness, and we'll play some audio for you in just a second. Second, that put a major hole in that case. So the case has been delayed. The case has been delayed, so I'm curious to see what happened to that, but I just want you to understand the state of affairs that we're in. We are really at the point where I think we've arrived at a police state. And I take no pleasure and say that I'm not saying that to be hyperbolic. I'm not trying to say that to scare you. I'm just telling you what is. We have little control of the things that are happening with our government. Thank God that we won at least the House of Representatives so that we can expose some of the stuff that's going on behind the scenes with this corrupt president and his administration, but it's absolutely insane. Winning the house is simply not enough, but thank God they've been able to at least deter and curtail some of this deep state stuff and a complete communist takeover in my opinion.

Blame Biden for the Putin-Xi Partnership
"Contin, I want to start with the biggest story of the week, the month and the year. Xi and Putin together again in Moscow. Now, the pact of steel didn't come around until 1938, Mussolini and Hitler started getting around and together in the mid 30s. How ominous is that gathering in the cementing of that alliance in your eyes? Well, it's very worrisome to you. I want to be clear, Joe Biden didn't bring these two together. They are anti American dictators who want to overturn an American led global order of security and stability that serves our interests and replace it with one that serves their interests. However, Joe Biden's weakness in his first two years in office have created what they see as new opportunities for advancing their shared interests, whether it was the appeasement of China and Russia both early in the administration, the fiasco in Afghanistan or now Joe Biden's halting half measures in Ukraine. Time and again, Joe Biden has encouraged these two anti American dictators to act on their long shared interest in undermining America's national security and the global world. The global order that advances America's interest as opposed to the anti American interest of countries like China and Russia and others.

The Algorithms Destroying Our Nation From Within
"Blackburn. You are spot on and there are a lot of people that, oh, you know, they're clutching their pearls and you know they're all worried about this and that and the other. There are people that will laugh at this. Well, there was a, I believe in New York Post reporter that went on TikTok the other day, pretending she was a 13 year old boy to see what kind of stuff she would get fed. The violence, the sexual, I pornography like stuff that she saw, they kept feeding it and feeding it and feeding it and feeding it. And so I was thinking about this. I'm like, gosh, if you really want to destroy a society. Why not go straight into the heart? Why not go straight to the youth? You hit them with those images. Lots of guns, all of that, and not responsible gun ownership. Lots of bad stuff. So you get that on TikTok, algorithms that really pollute the minds of young kids, and you simultaneously make sure that you're fentanyl operations are feeding the drug cartels in Mexico that come right in to our country. I mean, it's like a, it's like a perfect case study and how to destroy. And you know how you need to go to war? That's right. And this is what they are trying to do. And they, every challenge the border town, every state, a border state right now. Because of what is happening, and it is heartbreaking to me. To see these children that are so adversely impacted, the mental health issues. And, you know, Trish, when you have one girl that has mental health issues and is contemplating suicide on an ongoing basis, what does that do to her circle of friends? It adversely impacts and stresses all of them. And we have heard the story over and over and over and over again from parents from principles from classroom teachers from pediatricians from psychologists and psychiatrists who are working with these children. And you hit it with the algorithms that are in these social media platforms. If a child goes on and they are viewing something about mental health or depression or suicide or eating disorders, that algorithm feeds them more.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn: 'Joe Biden Inc. Is Compromised' By China
"Happy to have back on the program with us today the senator from Tennessee, senator Marsha Blackburn senator welcome. I'm delighted to join you. Thank you so much for having me back. Well, it's always good to talk to you and we always learn a lot. Right now, the U.S. does not quite have the capability to handle all the fentanyl that's coming across our border by way of China. In fact, April Haynes was just saying and we just played earlier a clip of her saying that we don't have the capacity. She's kind of surprised that, you know, there aren't enough agents, there aren't enough analysts to deal with this if we don't have enough people dealing with the fentanyl crisis coming from China. What's the reality and upshot of that? And the upshot should be that Joe Biden picks up the phone and calls Xi Jinping and says, hey buddy, you know that $1 trillion trade deficit we had with you last year. That's going to stop. If you don't cut it out when it comes to this fentanyl that you are manufacturing and you've buddied up with the cartels, we know what you're doing. You're sending it across our border and it is adversely impacting. So many of our communities. And by the way, we're going to run the cartels out of this country. But Joe Biden won't do that. Because it appears the more we learn that Joe Biden, his family and Biden incorporated, are compromised on some front. So the Chinese Communist Party does not fear him.

New Zombie Drugs--Made From Chinese Fentynal--Threaten Our Nation
"Getting to the news today, the head of the DEA is elaborating. On the drug trafficking triangle, aimed at America. China is making the raw materials, the ingredients for fentanyl. It is sending these ingredients to Mexico, and that is where the jalisco and Sinaloa cartels to massive and violent Mexican drug cartel operations, that is who gets it in traffic into the United States right across our very open southern border to eventually kill thousands of Americans tens of thousands of Americans and you know what? They're making a ton of money doing this. You hear what I'm saying. This is a massive business. China is sending this massive amount of fentanyl into our country and we are allowing it. We have not prepared to fight back. It's something that even the director of intelligence, Avril Haines, now admits, listen to her here when she's asked about whether or not we're really going to be able to get control of this fentanyl crisis. For myself in terms of the ode and I, our office of director of national intelligence, we have a national intelligence manager that covers this issue and a national intelligence officer. And one of the things I've learned in the two years that I've been there is that we do not have as deep a bench of analysts on these issues and we are not as therefore resourced as we need to be in order to really address this question. That's something that we've been building and that's something that we need to continue to build. So our government was caught by surprise, she was caught by surprise. Nobody realized what was really going on. Listen, I'll tell you a history repeats itself in the Chinese. They don't forget.

When Democrats Say the Quiet Part Out Loud!
"Off the week in our podcast a couple of days when I talked about, you know, really where I see this election cycle going. Where I see the issues of. Politicians campaigns telling you what you want to hear, don't fall for the easy answers. But sometimes you really get the picture of what's going on in a different sense. You get the picture for one side or the other lowers the curtain down, so to speak on their real beliefs. And you get a peek behind the curtain if you would, on what is going on. I made a statement I was up with some great folks in North Carolina the other day. And I made a statement and I said this. I said, this is the best time I believe to be a conservative. It's the best time right now on a public discourse to be a conservative. Why? Because you don't have to make up what they left is do it. For years and in this podcast, you've heard me say it for years. Democrats would hide that they didn't want to take your guns. Now they're just out in the open with it. They want to take your guns. They don't believe in the Second Amendment rise. They try to couch it in all kinds of different terms. But at the end of the day, they don't like guns and they don't like people who have guns. Let's just be Frank about this. So is we look at this, the issue that is coming up and. Taking Democrats that their word is we literally now can take them at their work. So when Republicans say, look, your Second Amendment rights are in jeopardy. They can actually show, yes, they're in jeopardy. When people want to talk about raising taxes, Joe Biden is easily said, I want to raise taxes. Democrats are joined along. When Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders not want to control healthcare control banking, make it more departmentalized and the government, instead of the free market, that's where you see, you know, they're no longer hiding. What they're talking about. They believe that big government is the answer. They believe that what they're doing is making sure that government has the solution for y'all.

How the White House Gave Putin a Green Light for Ukraine
"Now, we're talking about a Pakistan here, Chad and before we go, I want to make sure we have you wrap up on that, but I also want to get your take on what's happening in Russia, Ukraine, IRC, Xi Jinping, visiting Russia. This is absolutely insane. All right, so just if you would ramp up what you were talking about as far as Pakistan and the ISI yeah, I mean, just I mean, this is our enemy. This is who we've been fighting for the last 20 years when we fight when we say fight and Taliban. And the truth is, we didn't negotiate with our allies. We didn't negotiate with. We didn't negotiate with the Afghan government. We spent 20 years in place. The only people we talked to when I say we, The White House talk to was the Taliban, our enemy of 20 years, and we left Afghanistan without the consensus of the rest of the world. And we had 2500 troops there. We had 2500 troops and 20 places that can name around the world. We still have 50,000 troops in Japan and 40,000 in Germany and 35,000 in South Korea. This is not how the United States strategical leaves places and it created a catastrophe. And left Americans behind cost American lives left a 100,000 Afghan allies behind and left a 40 million vulnerable Afghans including 20 million women and little girls that we raped and for the rest of their life because of this. And so it's complete tragedy. And the world is watching our enemies are watching, which leads us into why Putin invaded Ukraine because he could. Because of the weakness in our White House and he postured against the imposture and the border with a 100,000 troops. Right. Joe, Joe Biden flinched, moved our U.S. troops out of Ukraine, moved our embassy out of Ukraine, the rest of the NATO partners followed and gave a green light for Putin to come in. And now we're sending a 113 plus $1 billion to Ukraine. None of that money is making it to help those people. It's a complete catastrophe. It's only it's only emboldening Putin and continue doing what he's doing and it's incentivizing people like zelensky who are getting all this money and never in this war because why they're making veins and dollars off of it, including corrupt politics in the United States.

"So let's get to this little excerpt from Joe Biden. He had a press conference, of course, on Thursday. He wants to remind everyone that he does take these classified documents very, very seriously. Very seriously, of course, he told us that over and over again ahead of the midterm elections back when he was, well, trying to point to Donald Trump and how could anybody it was just unthinkable and thinkable that anybody would have these documents in their home except that now, oh, there's a new layer, you see they did a search of his homes after discovering some classified documents. After finding all of those you see in his think tank office over at the University of Pennsylvania, which has been funded to the tune of some $54 million by the Chinese since 2014. In fact, most of that money has actually come sent 2017 when Joe Biden had his name as the headliner on that think tank institute. Anyway, I digress because the headline here is they found more. They found more and it was at his home and it was in his garage next to his Corvette. And by the way, my Corvette's in a locked garage, okay? So it's not like you're sitting out in the street. You know, I gotta say. For guys, it's been in public service for most of his life. He did manage to rake in a few bucks on that book deal, right? That book deal, which he actually came up with a very clever tax classification for himself so he could get out of paying a few extra bucks..

"joe biden" Discussed on The Charlie Kirk Show
"But the speech itself is an illegitimate, invalidating speech for any president of the United States. So what does that mean for us? Many of you are emailing us freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. What do I do? What do I do? You can not solve something. You do not know. It's an old proverb. What do you do the first thing that must be done and this is something we talk about a fair amount on this program. Because we must have a collective mindset shift. You are a dissident in your own country. I'm going to get some emails right now, freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. Charlie, I refuse to be a dissident. I'm a veteran. I'm a police officer. And man, do I sympathize with that sentiment? I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news. You no longer control the country. Now you might say, well, Charlie, we might not control the government, but we control the country. They control every cultural main cultural institution. They're trying to take over the church. They take over the intelligence agencies, but that doesn't mean we're defeated. In fact, it's good news. It should be liberating to say that we are dissidents in our own country. It should be exhilarating. We could defeat these people. They're worried that their regime is cracking. The speech last evening by Joe Biden is not a speech given. From confidence, it's a speech given from paranoia. They've been running the same play post January 6th call half the country fascists call half the country insurrectionists, the same way that Joseph Stalin did in the 1929 speech I've got about kulaks. Run the same play, and we only get stronger. And now it's getting real. This is exactly why they had to have the 87,000 new IRS agents because these threats against the widespread of the country, you might think to yourself you might be a farmer in Indiana or you might be a small business owner in Missouri or you might be a teacher in the beautiful state of Kansas, and you might say, okay, yeah, they can call me domestic terrorist, what are they going to do to me? Do to me, but the 87,000 new IRS agents is trying to make it personal. And guess what? It's going to get personal. You think we're going to take the country back without every single one of us losing something? Impossible. The country will not be taken back without sacrifice. You might have to be audited by some degenerate bureaucrat from the IRS and fight them tooth and nail. You might lose friendships. You might be doxxed, this is all part of what it's going to take to reclaim our republic, but it requires a mindset shift, one that makes people deeply uncomfortable at times. Because at times we as conservatives and I speak at a lot of different events and I totally understand this because you get angry, you say, Charlie, I've done everything. I was a police officer, as a firefighter. I paid my taxes. I voted Republican. I raised my kids. I went to church. I prayed with them. I raised good human beings. And now you're telling me I have to be a dissident in my own country. Yes. That's right. What does that even mean to be a dissonant and one's own country? Recognize you're in the minority, not if the people, there's more of us, but they control all the power centers. And we have to destabilize those power centers, take them over peacefully, strategically, we have to delegitimize these leaders and we have to be relentless. This is not a time for the faint of heart. This is going to be a long fight..

Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific mortgage at Andrew and Todd dot com. I've watched a lot of speeches in my short decade career of doing this. And I love history and hillsdale college is a wonderful job of educating the world on history and so I've seen a fair amount of speeches and so I watched the speech from the very beginning. And I had to pause it. I said, what the heck is going on? First of all, they choose, he chooses to give this speech at independence hall. A place where our freedom was articulated into words, one of the course of human events that becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands that have tied them to another, deriving from the equal. Stations of power, screwing up the words that go further on, but it eventually says deriving from the powers of the laws of nature and nature's God. And this beautiful independence hall was desecrated. So Joe Biden walks center stage with Jill Biden and the moment that Joe Biden walks on stage, the entire imagery turns red. With red lights going upwards. And two marines come out and Flank him. And these red lights are there all throughout the speech and then Joe Biden walks all the way out to center stage. And the imagery looked like something out of the 1930s. And I don't say this lightly. And I can't stand one everyone compares everything to Nazi Germany. I think that is overdone. I think that it is just kind of a lazy and sloppy throwaway line. In fact, we have a rule here on the Charlie Kirk show, which is not to compare everything to Hitler, but I'll be very honest. It was very hilarious. There is no other explanation than this. The red lights coming up and so then Joe Biden comes center stage. Clumsily to the podium. Flanked by two marines, no mistake for that, by the way. That was completely and totally designed as if I run the military, listen to what I'm saying. We're going to use the full force of the federal government against you. We are going to crush our enemies. And as I was rewatching the speech and I was listening to the word selection, I was listening to what the theme of a prime time address in front of our independence hall. Independence hall that is not Republican. It is not Democrat, independence hall that is the birthplace of our freedom as a country, the desecration by Joe Biden to do this. Ghost center stage and the best way I can articulate this and I do not use these words lightly. I do not say this, jokingly, and I do not say this happily. It was a domestic call for the suppression of political opponents. It was almost like a declaration of war. Against half the country. I don't find joy in saying them. In fact, I spent an hour this morning. Workshopping the words, I said, was it anything else in that? Is there any other way to explain what Joe Biden did here? Why did I hesitate to say that on air? Because when your president declares war on half the country, there's just no going back from that. And I said this in the open, I'm going to say it again. Part of the speech was designed to provoke you into a reaction. It was abating speech. Do not fall for it. Stay peaceful. Stay happy, stay joyful..

"It's today explained I'm Noelle king, President Biden might have scores of geopolitical and diplomatic reasons to visit Saudi Arabia, but there is one big reason that the American public cares deeply about. Gas prices. Jonathan geier is a senior foreign policy writer at vox covering Joe Biden and the world. Jonathan, what's going on with this trip? Biden and his administration are just doing everything they can to lower oil prices. The turmoil of Russia's war on Ukraine has obviously contributed to prices, Saudi Arabia is kind of caught between in this geopolitics and surprisingly hasn't really overtly sided with the U.S. kind of playing both sides. So it's not totally clear what Joe Biden can get out of this visit, but I think everyone watching is going to interpret it as him trying to go there to lower oil prices. The problem is, if oil prices don't get that much lower in response to this trip, it's not going to look like a very successful use of presidential power. Can you just lay out what Saudi Arabia can do with regard to oil prices? I mean, the United States produces a lot of oil itself. It produces a lot of natural gas. What exactly can Saudi Arabia do for the United States that the U.S. can't do for itself? The narrative that the U.S. has become energy independent has been a little bit overblown. I mean, prices are still determined by this international market. And what MBS and the Saudi government can't do is increase production a couple million barrels a day. It's not a whole lot, but it might be enough with other factors and other efforts to help lower prices a little bit. The bigger issue here, though, has to do with refineries. There's just not enough oil refineries right now due to a whole load of reasons. Building a refinery is a multi-billion dollar investment. It may take a decade. We haven't had a refiner built in the United States since the 1970s. That's why it just seems a little questionable. Why the president would want to go all in, backtracking on some promises on the campaign as president and go meet with MBS hat in hand as so many people have described it when the result may not be that fruitful when it comes to oil prices. Let's talk about how Joe Biden has talked about Saudi Arabia in the past. Looking at what Biden has said as vice president as presidential candidate, you get the sense he's very conflicted about Saudi Arabia. He's very critical then, called them a pariah on the campaign trail. And I would make it very clear. We were not going to in fact sell more weapons to them. We were going to, in fact, make them pay the price and make them, in fact, the pariah that they are. This was largely because Mohammed bin Salman, The Crown prince, had ordered the assassination of a U.S. resident, Jamal Khashoggi, Washington Post columnist, really heinous brutal murder. He was strangled as soon as he entered the building by a team of Saudi assassins, who then dismembered his body. A lot of people consider MBS the reason why there's been a prolonged really devastating war in Yemen, where thousands of civilians have died. The fighting around who they support in the incessant Saudi led bombardment, aid agencies say, has created a perfect storm. One that leaves the parties to the conflict and their international backers with blood on their hands. And even as vice president, he says you know the Saudis weren't always that helpful. They're not helpful in dealing with other U.S. interests in the Middle East. We have not remained silent with Saudi Arabia. And I certainly have it remained silent with Saudi Arabia. Jonathan, how unusual, though, is it really for a U.S. president to campaign saying one thing and then become president and have to do something completely different? Well, Biden is unusual because he came in as the statesman president. I mean, no one since George H. W. Bush has had this much experience on the world stage Senate foreign relations committee as vice president. He was kind of Obama's Middle East fixer. So this isn't just any old presidential candidate making promises. When Joe Biden says he's going to make Saudi Arabia a pariah, you kind of imagine he's going to go for it. President Biden keeps insisting including in a kind of vaguely worded op-ed in The Washington Post that this visit is actually about security. So what's in play security wise? The Biden administration is trying to put forward a new security architecture, new security deals that put Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and other Arab countries together in a fight against Iran. And it looks like the Biden administration is really doubling down on that much to the anger of human rights activists who are very quick to point out that many of these Arab states are anything but democratic. As The White House released an itinerary of what the president will be doing, will he and Mohammed bin Salman be sitting down one on one. What will this visit look like exactly? So Biden has had this really kind of confusing policy up until now that he would not meet directly with MBS. Mister president, will you be open to meeting with The Crown prince Mohammed bin Salman if you do end up going to Saudi Arabia? We're getting way ahead of ourselves here. When I want to do the problem with that is he's going to meet with him in this visit and it really looks like about face and a walk down. Now there have been some incredible scenes reported. The Wall Street Journal showed this scene of Jake Sullivan, Biden's national security adviser, meeting with MBS and MBS showed up in gym shorts and was screaming at Jake Sullivan. I mean, I can't emphasize enough that MBS is erratic. He's paranoid, some intelligence experts. I've spoken to compare him to Saddam Hussein. The number two official in Saudi intelligence who fled the country is now fearing for his life, called him a psychopath in 60 minutes. I am here. To sound the alarm. About a psychopath, killer, in the Middle East, with infinite resources, who poses threat to his people, to the Americans, and to the planet. MBS is a really frightening character, and he's not somebody you want the U.S. president to be meeting with, but now, with this trip, it's all but inevitable. I wonder about Mohammed bin Salman and how it plays for him at home. If he makes agreements with Joe Biden on security on oil on increasing oil production, does he risk losing anything? Making agreements with the American president who called his country a pariah, who has gone after him personally? Well, I think it's worth keeping in mind just how popular MBS is in Saudi Arabia. Because in parallel to these heinous human rights violation, he's conducted in the world and in his own country arresting feminist activists, all sorts of members of his royal court, all sorts of prominent businessmen, MBS has also presided over a great reform culturally of Saudi Arabia, opening it up to concerts and movie theaters and women driving. Now, you could say a lot of this is superficial, but for a very young country in Saudi Arabia is a very young country population wise. He's very popular. And I think there is a huge respect and affinity for America. Not just its Hollywood pop culture and all that, but look, America had Saudi Arabia's back in the first Gulf War when Saddam Hussein very well could have invaded Saudi Arabia.

But tell me, why does it feel like he just doesn't really know what he's doing right now? I think that you oftentimes see this with presidents when the economic fundamentals are going poorly for them. Their approval ratings get low, and then they attract a lot of criticism, like why is he making this mistake? Why is he making that mistake? And then they try to respond to critics out there and the responses don't really work, which makes them look more kind of incompetent and you get this downward spiral and oh, it's an administration and crisis. I do think it's important to remember that most people just don't pay that much attention to politics or to the news. And then what's actually playing out in reality in terms of COVID cases and economics matters so much more than these kind of day to today decisions about what message do you put out or what tactics do you use? But it's like, you're talking about things that are somewhat out of his control, but it feels like this mansion in cinema thing is more sort of illustrative of just this decades long experienced senator just fundamentally misunderstanding the things that he should fully understand. I mean, he spent nearly 40 years as a senator, but he's so spectacularly unsuccessful at convincing two of his colleagues to support his legislation. How do we explain that? Biden is a very experienced U.S. senator. He knows a lot about how this stuff works. And he has shown, I think some real aptitude in surprising people with his ability to get certain things done. One of the biggest problems that he ran into is that he was so good at convincing cinema and mansion and the more moderate democratic senators to back him on the American rescue plan that I think it created unrealistic expectations. Historic legislation is about rebuilding the backbone of this country and giving people this nation to work in people with middle class folks. People built the country of fighting chance. When they first rolled out that $1.8 trillion proposal, I was on a briefing call with other journalists and they were explaining it and that was taken my notes and you know I put in the notes that this seems to me like it's an opening bit. There's no way Congress is actually going to do this. And you know I checked with other people I knew outside experts economists. And that was their consensus. That this was Biden kind of throwing some stuff out there to start the negotiations. But he got almost exactly what he asked for. Just mind Republicans criticism over its size, the package was hailed as a triumph for Biden and to showcase of democratic unity when it passed the Senate. And that made people think, oh my God, you know, maybe he's gonna do it again. Maybe this extremely narrow legislative majority is going to create a blossoming of incredible progressive change. And ever since then, he's been trying to do that with build back better with voting rights with some other things, and it hasn't been working. And we're getting the volume of legislation that I think you would expect from a 50 50 Senate, which is not that much. If you just kind of told somebody in 2017, imagine a world in which the Senate split 50 50, how much stuff do you think is going to pass? You'd say, yeah, probably not that much stuff and what does happen will probably be bipartisan. So I think that there's a slide toward that reality, but it's been a long road, because Biden has been trying to get more done than the outcome really supports. Is the reason we're seeing him fail that he's trying to pressure mansion and cinema into doing his bidding in public? Is that the strategy that's sort of fundamentally flawed here? Because to pivot to voting rights only to have cinema come out the next day and say she has no interest in changing the filibuster rules, feels like it all just could have been avoided by picking up the phone and saying, hey, senator cinema, what are you gonna do if I do this? Biden and it's not just Biden personally, right? It's Chuck Schumer and it's Nancy Pelosi. None of them have wanted to be the ones who deliver the bad news to progressives that they didn't do that well in the 2020 elections that they ran a couple points behind Biden in Congress, and they just don't have the votes to enact this sweeping progressive agenda. So you keep seeing a kind of a game of hot potato in which each leader will say, well, it's the other one's job to come deliver now. As we all know, much more needs to be done. But we have made great progress in this year. And the hot potato kind of got tossed to The White House to be like, why don't you turn up the temperature on this? The last hour, White House press secretary Jen Psaki put out that statement was referencing it. It's pretty long. It's pretty dense and it's all about Joe Manchin. Normally the majority leader of the Senate is someone you'd expect to say like, hey Joe, let's make us talk about voting rights. I don't have cinema mansion, but Schumer wanted The White House to do this. The groups wanted The White House to do it. And so they did. And I think makes everyone look really dumb. But it's a kind of a consensus position in progressive circles was that you got to go for it. And it has succeeded in making everyone mad at Joe Manchin and Kristen cinema rather than mad at Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden, which, you know, your mileage may vary in terms of how valuable that is as a long run outcome, but it's part of the game that's being played. Do you think he needs a better Senate whisperer? Could that turn some of these recent fails around? Joe Biden has a strong personal relationship with Joe Manchin, but the staff in The White House is much more heavily populated by people from the progressive wing of the party. There's a lot of sort of Elizabeth Warren type people, working at high levels of the administration. And you know, there's a lot of smart people. She's a very popular figure among young ambitious, highly intelligent policy thinkers, but they don't necessarily have a great rapport with or understanding of the kind of most marginal members of the Senate caucus, they put a lot of stock in Biden's ability to kind of personally sell these moderate senators on things. And it worked on the American rescue plan. The problem is, I think, Manchin's view is that The White House kind of use their credibility on that, right? They said, you know, trust me, we really need this. And so now he's much more skeptical. Whereas I think The White House is hope had been, well, if it works once it'll work again. You know, you use the word normal earlier that President Biden really promised to get us back to normal. He was going to be a normal president. It felt like he did a reasonable job of that in 2021, but is off to a really rough start in 2022. Do you think he's maybe lost sight of the normalcy of that vision that he promised? I think there's been a tension in Biden's sort of political persona, where a lot of the time, you know, he's been seen as the avatar of normalcy. He was the vice president under Trump's predecessor. He was criticized a lot in the primary by more left wing people who said, you know, all he's going to want to do is get rid of Trump but not too bad tweets. But Biden has also promised a lot of substantive policy changes. And you can see that he himself is torn between taking incredible pride in a bipartisan infrastructure Bill that kind of defied the critics and showed that he could bring Democrats and Republicans together to go past something. But wanting to say to the progressive base, like, know the haters are wrong. I can deliver on your agenda. And you know, he can deliver bipartisan legislation. He has done it. He's halfway through another bipartisan bill called usica, aimed at boosting American science funding. But what he can't deliver in a bipartisan way is the progressive agenda. And he has been very committed over this past fall and winter, to saying, you know, he's going to do that. He's not going to give up on build back better. He's not going to give up on voting rights. But just refusing to give up, doesn't get that stuff done. The side of Biden who's good at doing deals is a side that recognizes you have to listen to what the members of Congress actually want to do, and then just kind of get on board with that. But the side of him that wants to deliver the sight of his team that wants to deliver on this transformative change is pushing for more than that. And how does that play out in advance of the midterms? I mean, the reason that it feels somewhat perplexing that he's taking all these L's to kick off the year is that it is of course an election year and his majority is literally as thin as it can be. This is a tension that is familiar from earlier presidencies. On the one hand, it would probably do Democrats well to be more moderate. You know, to just cut some really small board deals, pass some stuff, pat everybody on the back, stop talking about transformative change, be a little bit more popular. That would reduce their loss in the midterms. At the same time, when you're sitting there and you're like, okay, we've got this majority for ten more months. And then we're gonna lose it. The pressure's on to deliver, right? And so it pushes people in both directions and you saw this with Republicans and the tax cuts and jobs act in 2017. You saw what Democrats and the Affordable Care Act in 2010. And you know, the incumbent party gets kind of torn between duck and cover before the political backlash comes for us and get as much done as we can before the political backlash comes for us. People usually reconcile this by saying, well, voters will be angry if we can't show them that we've delivered on our promises. But there's really little evidence that that's true. You know, I think voters would like Biden to deliver cheaper gasoline and groceries, they would like him to deliver less spread of the SARS CoV-2 virus, but they are not that invested in the progressive agenda. They are not thousands of people rallying in the streets for build back better. Or for the Voting Rights Act. You know, there is just not a lot of public engagement with these debates, which people have these day to today problems in their lives. You know, they're either worried about the virus or they're worried that virus related restrictions are hurting them. They're worried about their job and their cost of living and stuff like that. And the only thing that would really work is to make those things better, not to kind of pass big picture policy change.

"There? What happened in Afghanistan is that Joe Biden made a kind of a bold decision, which is that he had promised to bring troops home from Afghanistan to end the war. Bin Laden is dead, and Al-Qaeda is degraded in Iraq and Afghanistan. And it's time to end the forever war. That was very popular. Donald Trump promised the same thing. It's time. After all these years to go and to bring our people back home Barack Obama promised the same thing. By the end of 2014, the Afghans will be fully responsible for the security of their country. But the Obama administration and the Trump administration, they both knew that if you actually brought the last troops home, some ugly stuff would unfold, and they both found ways to kind of kick the can down the road and leave this as a problem for their successor. And lots of terrible things happen in Afghanistan in the last two years of the Obama administration in the four years of the Trump administration, but they didn't get much attention. Biden said at the time, he said, you know, I am not going to leave this problem for my successors, the way my predecessors left it for me. And that meant though that he took the heat tonight the Taliban parading what it says is some of the billions of dollars worth of American weapons and equipment, they now have in their arsenal. There was an incredible amount of attention suddenly on bad things happening, the withdrawal was very chaotic. And Afghans who helped America's military effort are stuck too. A lot of people got to say, well, I agreed with the idea of bringing the troops home, but you know I would have done it in some other way. And maybe there could have been a better way to do it. But I think fundamentally, there's no great way to admit defeat on a war. And that's why we've seen time and again, presidents try not to actually do this. Biden thought, you know, he could ride it out. His numbers at the time were pretty good. There was strong public approval for leaving Afghanistan, but when people watched it play out, he took a lot of criticism in mainstream media outlets like CNN and The New York Times that had been quite friendly to him. His refusal to acknowledge that this is not gone the way they expected is kind of surprising to me. It really hurt his numbers, at least temporarily. Come on, man. Even though Afghanistan went so badly and approval numbers dropped. Biden did sort of manage to pivot the national conversation to this massive spending plan he had. B is for build back better. That didn't work out either. It hasn't worked out so far. I mean, we'll see what happens with it. You described it as a massive spending plan. And to me, that's the biggest problem that he's had there. For reasons related to how the filibuster works. Democrats decided that their best chance of getting things done was to take a whole bunch of individual ideas, kind of rope them together into this one package and try to pass it through the Senate. If they manage to get that done really, really quickly, we'd all be looking back and saying, you know, what geniuses, their masterminds, they understood the process. But what happened instead is it's proven difficult to negotiate the terms of a multi $1 trillion spending bill, which I think it's not that unusual. But it means that we keep hearing a big debate about a massive spending bill or a debate about numbers. Are we going to spend $1.8 trillion or are we going to spend $1.5 trillion? People don't have the perception that Joe Biden is fighting for hearing benefits for senior citizens, or the Joe Biden is fighting to expand access to preschool for three and four year olds, and nothing has happened. So the story every day is like people are yelling at Joe Manchin or Joe Manchin is mad at more liberal senators. And it's just a kind of a bad look. It's frustrating to progressives who want to get things done. It's frustrating to moderate who want to see people getting together. And I think to normal people, it's just a little removed from what is worrying them in their daily lives. It's not, it's not really what anybody wants. Give me a break. Need time. The president's been catching a lot of heat for his handling of this variant. C is for COVID, especially as press secretary going out there and saying, what do you want us to do? Mail every America to COVID test, and then the federal government will purchase one half billion. That's not million billion with a B, additional at home rapid test with delivery starting in January. I guess that could be seen as The White House adjusting to this pandemic, but it also is seemingly a sign that The White House wasn't ready for this variant, yeah. I mean, you know, they're in a tough position, right? I mean, they started off with a lot of momentum. We weren't a very bad shape in the winter of 2020, 21. There was a really big surge in cases, but vaccinations were rolling out. And I think the idea was we were going to focus a lot of attention on the logistics of the vaccine rollout, but just saying the Trump administration hadn't really done, people were going to get off these waiting lists, and then everything was going to be great. I feel confident that by summer, we're going to be well on our way to heading toward herd immunity. Once very un started a rising. You know, they wound up in trouble, right? Because what Biden had said during the campaign trail is that I'm going to shut down the virus, not shut down the economy. But since it hasn't proven possible to shut down the virus, there's now this tension between what do you do, a lot of people have been vaccinated and at this point are not that worried about COVID and mostly want to see a normalization of the situation. But then a lot of people continue to be very worried about COVID and they feel that Biden promised to be the COVID hawk president. They're torn because Biden promised to beat the virus and get us back to normal. And I think it's now clear that you can't do that, right? You could do more to fight the virus in terms of imposing restrictions and rules on people's conduct, but that would make the situation less normal. Or you can encourage a return to normalcy, and tell people go out do whatever, you know, see Spider-Man at the movies, live your lives, but that's going to mean that the virus spreads in that particularly unvaccinated people are going to get sick and die in large numbers. America, I'm here to tell you there's one simple thing. You can do to make this whole virus go away. Stop seeing Spider-Man. So then sometimes they come out and they say, well, you know it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Everybody should get their boosters. And to some people that sounds very sensible to other people, it sounds callous to the unvaccinated themselves, they are mad that he's pushing vaccines. You know, it's challenging. Biden made big promises as to what he was going to be able to achieve on COVID. And he's achieved, I think, you know, not as much as he said he could. President Biden kicked off the week.

"Is how many people in america will support this stuff. You know. that's the thing that's really troubling to to wrap your head around. And that like i said how many people how many people in america would support turning us into australia and it's not an insignificant number and they'd be fine with being them to even if they were in it even if they were locked down. It's not just that they wanna do the unvaccinated. they're kind of willing to play this game and themselves included. And you know. I was saying Last night that it's like it's unbelievable. How much every president ends up being the exact opposite of what their central promise of of the campaign was whatever the central promise was. They always end up being the exact opposite and joe biden to say you know he. He was the unity guy. You wanted to heal the soul of the country and unify the country. Once again i mean he just in one speech divided the country more than trump did in four years. I mean in one speech. He just basically he. We are now in a position of being in like a cold civil war. Thank god it's not hot but this is now like absolutely like there's you've got you know almost a hundred million people or as you were saying before the numbers probably over a hundred million people who straight up. Don't want this now. The federal government's coming into force it on them wild man. It's wild and no one can really listen. You can't downplay this stuff and it's something to like just man. I'm just so like furious particularly at the. You know the people in the you know identifying as libertarians who like would write these articles that we've talked about you know kind of justifying this part of that part of the kobe regime. I mean this is at like how could you not see what they've done to us over the last eighteen months and not go like this is the most important thing to fight against right now. All of this. The more time that goes on the the the more were dug into a whole you know the further away the february twenty twenty as the tougher it is to get back to it So the man. We really better hope. I don't know what the avenue is whether it's going to be Mass disobedience or it's going to be some of these lawsuits. Perhaps who knows. I mean i you know. I've read enough rothbart to be very Cautious about optimism that the court will say well yes. This is in fact unconstitutional. Which blatantly is blatantly unconstitutional. But is the what is the blatant unconstitutionality of it. Well there's just there's there's absolutely no authority for the president to decide who private companies. Cannon can't hire. I mean the idea. He has some control over federal workers. But there's no there there's There a law would be unconstitutional as you have no constitutional authority to tell some private business. They can or can't do business with a certain person. But this isn't the executive you know enforcing a law that was written by congress. There's certainly like no constitutional authority granite for the president to just by fiat declare. These businesses aren't allowed to do this anymore. I mean it's very look. I mean congress. It writes the laws now. This is a law that would overstep congressional authority. Let alone the president's but again ninety five percent of what. The federal government does is unconstitutional. So we'll see we'll. We'll see what happens that way but man. There's all i'd say to anybody who's ambivalent about this stuff or whatever i mean. Do you think this is the last one. Do you think this is the last step. Do you think that this won't be used for other things aside from kobe. This is a this is it. This is the big one and and you know now. We're here where you know. I said a few months back on this show that we were to fork in the road where we were gonna go one of two directions and right now. It sure seems like we're going in the bad one and this is this is the time to really Get serious and get loud and to really forcefully oppose this stuff and to really start thinking about what actions can be taken to to try to stop this and Yeah that's what.

It they slave Kabul i mean tallying just announced or unveiled its new government and includes not surprisingly doesn't include any women there. Also you know a lot of people who have basically you'll condoned attacks on americans over the years And have worked with the al qaeda in the past And so i think you're completely right. I think this is you know we. How can we be depended on a towel ban. Who which is an ally with our you know our sworn you know group that wants to murder americans ending the other issue is the human rights right. In taliban you know is notoriously mean they. They imposed jihadist lie. There sharia law rather And so they don't allow women to go to schools they. There was a shooting of a female A police officer the other day. By taliban anyday disavowed that. But you know this is not a group that has a great human rights frac tracker record in biden and his state department and other diplomatic route. They were around the world. Saying you know we're committed to advancing women and you know gender equality Yields very hypocritical. Okay stay with us.

Is the taleban going to attempt to be able to nine provide for the wellbeing of the people of afghanistan which no one group has ever done since before feeling for hundreds of years and if it does is going to need everything from additional help in terms of economic assistance trade in whole regions six taliban is going to have the telephone is going to have to make a decision okay. So let's say they have to make a decision who knows what decision gonna make on the one hand. They could do all the things. Joe biden wants them to do on the other hand. It could tell them to go screw himself. Kill everyone who allied with us stuff. The women back into burqas and then back into the basement and then rape them and to whatever the hell they want. I wonder which i haven't i. I my hands up here. I know the answer. I think it's a hard question. i think.

In april of last year we were warning you that if we do not get a check on the fourth branch of government under the guise of public health stuff like this is going to happen and some conservatives.

Eighty eighty-two joe biden appointed woolens to run the centers for disease control and prevention in atlanta. The time it did not seem like a huge deal. The cdc is not a legislative body. It's a public health bureau. The cdc does not make laws in this country. It's not allowed to under the us constitution. Making laws is the exclusive role of the congress.

That's a nice opinion there. Nothing more than just a bunch of talk show host on cnn where they had that big ninety five person panel and they're all saying the same thing if you think the supreme court is just a bunch of talking heads and not the people that issue the guidance on the laws.

"And has the most potential power. But only if we honor it. What branch of government has power but only if people respect that power meaning. They don't have the bill. The ability to enforce it in eighteen thirty two there was a famous supreme court decision. It was worcester versus georgia. A landmark case in which the united states supreme court vacated the conviction of samuel worcester and held that the georgia criminal statute that prohibited non native americans from being present on native american lands without a license from the state was unconstitutional. Now the president at the time was andrew jackson. Andrew jackson completely and fundamentally disagreed at this decision. Andrew jackson famously than said something. That is very provocative and exposed a vulnerability in the american constitutional system. You see on this program. We talk about the positives and the benefits of the american constitutional system. There is one vulnerability and it only gets exposed. If president decides to be flippant an almost tyrannical andrew jackson looked at this decision. And he famously said will let marshall sent his army so john. Marshall was the supreme court justice the chief justice of the supreme court of the united states. And what he meant by that is make marshall enforce this so what if the supreme court rules. What's their enforcement capability. What is their ability to actually make the law that they issued the guidance they issue enforceable. You see article one and article to the legislative and the executive branch they have enforcement abilities. They have checks and balances impeachment proceedings for example appointments executive control. Each branch can check each other at the supreme court is only as good as the full faith and trust and confidence that we have in the us supreme court. The supreme court is only the supreme court if we decide to honor what it says. If the supreme court were to rule for example on brown versus the board of education the supreme court ruled on roe versus wade or the court ruled on any significant court. Decision and half the country said. We're not going to honor that we're deciding we don't like that decision. The constitutional republic we enjoy. We'll start to fall apart now. On the federal level federal agents are supposed to follow from the supreme court judges are supposed to follow guidance from the us. Supreme court and that tradition has generally been followed. what happens. When a president's like andrew jackson turns the john marshall and says send your army enforce it come on. What's the big deal. It's not like you're the president. You're just the suggestion court not the supreme court when the last twenty four hours joe biden has pulled an andrew jackson. Joe biden has turned to john. Robertson said john. Roberts send your army. What are you going to do the. Us supreme court ruled that the guidance on evictions such as the evictions from people that are not paying their rent can expire on july thirty first. And it's going to require legislative and congressional action to renew or extend that moratorium on evictions. So what happened is congress decided to go on a break. Congress home which left this big opening left an opening where the us supreme court article three said. Hey this thing's going to expire and you need to do your job article. One went home and didn't do their job. That's the legislative branch so then article. Two joe biden decided to do something. That is an impeachable offense. Let me say that again. It is an impeachable. Offense in fact would joe biden did and is doing right now is constitutionally worse than anything they ever accused donald trump of and almost no one in the media's covering this so joe biden saw that the supreme court had a certain ruling about evictions and moratoriums the right the correct brands to solve this legislative branch went home. And what did joe biden. Do joe biden announced yesterday. I'm sorry on. Tuesday afternoon that the center for disease control issued a new order imposing a moratorium on certain evictions. The cdc's new order is substantially similar to previous eviction moratoriums that expired at the end of july but with one exception. So what does that mean. This means that joe biden condition executive order. Confiscating all your weapons. And he doesn't care what the supreme court has to say about it. What's this what. Let roberts send his army. Make cavenaugh enforce make any conybeare enforce it with joe biden has just done and his administration is they have just said that we do not have three equal branches of government. And they say well it's a crisis it's public health. There's people that need help from eviction moratoriums. That's not the way. This works congress. Go do your job. Go fix it. They're not it's not a priority congress and it's outside of the constitutional authority and purview of the executive branch of the united states. I cannot emphasize enough. How unprecedented this to have a president ignore what the us supreme court has said and do it anyway. So what's the supreme court gonna do. They are gonna issue another ruling. Joe biden just ignore it. The supreme court was. I don't do that joe biden. Say what's your enforcement capacity. You don't have handcuffs you. You write papers. Joe biden will basically look at article three and say that's funny. The supreme court is just a bunch of suggestions. Donald trump never did anything close to this when the supreme court spoke. Donald trump always followed their guidance when circuit court judges spoke. Donald trump followed those guidance. Remember the travel ban. Remember the emergency use of.

Between republicans and democrats wasn't it. Texas is an interesting microcosm of trends happening in america as a whole in particular diversification and the decline of white male christian america and the theory has always been that this will help democrats because people of color and other minority groups for the last half century so have tended to vote democratic and there was a theory in twenty twenty.

"The context of a july second journal news story and the headline the anat is us steps up planning for emergency afghan evacuation and it talks about expanded planning for an embassy evacuation reflecting an increase in concern that a taliban offensive could overwhelm us security in afghan government forces guarding the embassy and so kim I i don't know that anybody should feel comfortable and confident. I mean the the journal editorial on this says follows biden's remarks. They're saying let's hope that he's right and I think we do but it's not sure it's not clear that that that's really the case i think that statement is a reflection and this pame pretty clear As the president was talking that they understand that there are going to be real consequences from this and that there are already preparing for that one of the more remarkable positions or comments that the president made during this remarks is said he said you know. Look i think it's unlikely that you see a unified government running all of afghanistan. that's an acknowledgement that the taliban is going to continue taking territory. it also seems to be him setting the bar failure of whether or not the taliban ends up running the entire country But everyone you talk to including the military advisers who are speaking off the record understand that this is going to lead to bad results further gains by the taliban if not the complete collapse of the afghan government there could be a civil war in the country. You could see al qaeda regrouping in that territory. you could see some really horrific stories coming out about the taliban once again making life hell for average afghanis living there and it really does raise the question of what the president is thinking because this is long been his position. Think back back when he was vice. President barack obama had a surge in two thousand and nine we. We pushed our troops from about thirty thousand about one hundred thousand biden. oppose that It's long been understood that he doesn't want a presence there but a lot of even supporters of have are asking why he wouldn't simply leave a smaller contingent something to have a us presence. So that you know even if things go bad you can't be subject to the complaint or the criticism that america simply abandoned afghanistan. And that's what he's setting himself up for. It's somewhat inexplicable to me to kim's point about the the outcomes another notable point was when the top. us general in afghanistan last month said this. A civil war is certainly a path that can be visualized if this continues on the trajectory. It's on right now unquote and then also you have to add in. I guess bill the withdrawal from air force base or excuse me beggar airfield and that was really a remarkable moment and i'll report of the a. P. story on this says the. Us left afghanistan's bagger airfield after nearly twenty years by shutting off the electricity and slipping away in the night without notifying the basis new afghan commander unquote and then after that there was some ransacking by looters before the afghan forces were able to regain control and bill again. None of this I think inspires confidence that the afghan forces really have the wherewithal to To maintain control of the country. Yeah unlooked there's several points about this. You mentioned joe biden saying this is not vietnam the i hear all these biden. People saying it's not vietnam. Why are they saying that because the natural thing that comes up is vietnam and it's not just when the americans withdrew from vietnam when the north vietnamese were moving in and the democrats shut off all aid and support or the government and if you were in the government of afghanistan and you were watching this pullout where we don't even tell them when we're leaving..

"Hose used that somebody gardening. Oh timmy hunter must have had you when he was on crack. Let's play today's briefing. We discussed our is going to devote the remainder the summer to a special focus on five ways to make gains and getting those of you unvaccinated vaccinated. Because here's the deal. We are continuing to wind down the mass vaccination sites that did so much in the spring to rapidly vaccinate those eager to get their first shot and the second shot that if they need a second now. We need to go to community by community neighborhood by and often times door to door knocking on doors to get help. For the remaining people protected from the virus look equity equality remains at the heart of our responsibility to ensuring the communities that are the hardest hit by the virus have the information and the access to get vaccinated so as we shift from these centralized math mass vaccination sites for during thousands people a day put even more emphasis on getting vaccinated in your community close to home conveniently and location. You're already familiar with. I i do. This includes forty two thousand local pharmacists. Were folks with questions can talk to the pharmacist. They know and already have done dealt with these locations overwhelmingly. Allow you to walk in without an appointment. Get the vaccination picking up your prescription or just going into get get toothpaste or something else. You need to the drugstore second. My team is good. A place renewed emphasis on getting vaccines to more and more family doctors and healthcare providers so more americans and get shot at their doctor's office from the folks that they know and they trust the most thurber rented. We're going to step up efforts to get vaccines to your family. Doctors and other doctors usurp younger people so the adolescents ages twelve eighteen can vaccinated and as we just for a second. There's one thing. I just i that it beginning he goes. Hey we're gonna go to these communities underserved because we're going to try and help them or so that the young people can get vaccinated it. This is such a wonderful piece of propagate. Hey we're just here to help you. Remember is a want to heal the soul of the nation will. It's about showing up to your home and giving you vaccine to your kid at help it. That's the creepy. I mean that's the creepiest part. Is this like and then they throw in the socialist bullshit and they're in the middle like because it's about the equality it's like no people in certain minority communities don't trust the government and they're actually smart enough to realize yet go barbershop. They're smart enough to just be like fuck this and your dumb vaccine. I'm not getting it. i'm healthy. I don't need it and now they're trying to figure out while it's not an availability issue. It's that people are not sold on that. This is a good idea. And it's now you're ramping up. And by the way part of why. I think they're in panic. Mode is a realizing the vaccines aren't as good for the delta variance. And so now like this is their last chance to try and sell this thing so you know before they all be all before all the vaccine sour they gotta get as many arms as possible. Well that's that's exactly right and what's going on here. Essentially is that we've hit a crossroads. Where at this point pretty much. Everyone who wants the vaccine has gotten it and everybody else is comfortable with the risk. Doesn't want it so now. What do you do now. A situation where they got all of these vaccines that are produced. They have expiration dates on them and they did not hit nearly the numbers they wanted. You know mike arnovitz had a tweet about this. The other day that i thought he made a really good point where he was like. Look this is what happened right. These people kind of paraphrasing and adding some my own words to it but he was getting at this that these guys coming off the biggest mass propaganda campaign in history did not get nearly the numbers. They thought they would. So they're saying that it's something like fifty percent of adults have have been vaccinated. But as mike pointed out that was a very good point he goes. What percentage of those people were basically soft forced into. doing lamey. jobs made him do it. They couldn't yeah yes Schools colleges all around. I've heard from several people. This is just anecdotal. But there's i've heard from several different people who were my school made me do it. And they were in situations where they were like. I had literally like i. Have you know. Seven credits left until i graduate can't transfer and i can't do this. I literally had no choice. You know as like not forced but soft forced into getting it right. Let's as let's just assume ten percent you know as a number so it's really only like forty percent who like enthusiastically got it. So that's what the biggest propaganda campaign history got you. It convinced a minority of the population. And that's just the adult population. You know what. I mean let alone trying to get everybody's twelve year old vaccinated. So that's what they're looking at here. They're dealing with that reality. And this is the fork in the road right because the obvious correct just not even like forget like even liberty or anything like that but just the the sane up response to that is like all right. We tried and the people who didn't get it are they're comfortable taking the risks and now life goes on but the other fork is the scary one. Where now they go. Oh okay so. This wasn't enough. We got to step this up in some next level whether that's vaccine passports or some other type of creepy thing and particularly the thing that really Got a lot of people freaked out by this speech. Understandably so is when joe biden goes community by community door by door that we have to go door to door now..

Thousands and thousands of people's lives ruined Probably in the hundreds of thousands just for pot and you know for you to come out and say the rules are the rules. It's like well look. You're the guy who wrote these rules or lobbied for them. Lobby might not be the right term. He was a senator the whole time but really actively pressured everybody as i was just giving a little bit of the history on this let joe biden actually was was to ronald reagan's right in terms of being a advocating for the harshest of the war on drugs policy.

I mean if we're gonna talk about now had this woman's like Like aspirations olympic dreams have been ruined over pot which i think every person noses ridiculous Then there's joe biden just saying well rules are.
