Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks. I want to thank Charlie. He's an incredible guy. His spirit, his love of this country. He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country. That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandtodd.com. Who runs the country? Do the people run the government or do the government largely run the people? The American founders established a system. They established a form of government. There should be three branches. They should check and balance one another. The complaints laid out in the Declaration of Independence that we celebrated on July 4th were largely addressed and solved at the ratification of the Constitution. The Constitution did not come ex nihilo. It did not come out of nothing. It came through an English constitutional republic tradition. It came from Roman Republican influences. Came through the study of the classics. Came through an understanding of what is a human being. How are we able to interact with one another? Biblical principles. The Constitution understood that your rights do not come from government. Your rights are given to you by God or your creator. It says very clearly in the Declaration the laws of nature and nature is God. God is mentioned four times in the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution understood that there must be first and foremost rules for government, not rules for people. In fact, it said a government shall not be able to shut you up, shall not be able to take weapons, shall not put soldiers in your home, shall not be able to spy on you, shall not be able to detain you indefinitely without a speedy trial. The United States Constitution and the following bill of rights that was ratified in 1791 was the great leap forward in self-government. That all changed with Woodrow Wilson. Woodrow Wilson, one of America's worst presidents, an evil maniacal man who actually his wife was largely running the White House towards the end of his presidency, former college professor and former president of Princeton University and governor of New Jersey, basically the accidental president who became president in 1912 when Teddy Roosevelt decided to run the Bull Moose party and primary William Howard Taft running three parties and Woodrow Wilson won with a plurality not a majority of votes. Woodrow Wilson threw away the Constitution and the promise of the founders. He said, we're more advanced than this. Blake, can you find that exact quote from Woodrow Wilson? He was more eloquent than that but I'm summarizing it rather bluntly. Woodrow Wilson basically said, we know what we want. Why do we need all these checks and balances? That government should work like a machine. It should work administratively and with that he birthed the bureaucracies, the desk workers, the administrative state. Now America was a very free country back then. You can make a lot of arguments, well we needed a department of labor and we need department of this and department of that and the entrepreneurs, the creators, the risk takers soon became outnumbered by the desk workers. The administrative state, the deep state, was exploded under Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Woodrow Wilson said, quote, the Constitution was founded on the law of gravitation. The government was to exist and move by virtue of efficacy of checks and balances. The trouble with the theory is that government is not a machine but a living thing. No living thing can have its organs offset against each other as checks and live. Woodrow Wilson made the argument, this idea of checks and balances, the tension, the slow arduous process of government, we need no more of that, we need the harmony of government and thus a fourth branch was born in defiance, a middle finger to Madison, John Jay and Hamilton. Woodrow Wilson expanded the administrative state and the administrative state was involved in displacing presidents. According to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the administrative state killed JFK. The administrative state took out Richard Nixon. The administrative state controlled Reagan in some sense, controlled H.W. Bush. H.W. Bush was actually a product of the administrative state. He ran the CIA before he became vice president then president. Bill Clinton, George W. Bush did whatever the administrative state wanted. Barack Obama quickly learned a lesson, you know, he ran a very populist campaign, we're going to reform government, we're going to restore power to the people. And Obama made a very quick realization, I'm not going to war with this, I want to last all eight years and I want a Netflix deal and I don't want to get shot in a convertible and I don't want to be removed from office like Richard Nixon. What do you want admin state? And I will do as you wish. The one president who decided to wage war in the administrative state was Donald Trump. He ran against it, he said he's going to drain the swamp, he wasn't going to put up with it. Donald Trump built things in his life for 40 years in New York City, big buildings, saved Central Park, saved Wollman Rink, the New York Convention Center. And so the administrative state for him it didn't make sense, he said where is this in the Constitution, it's getting in the way of self-government. And then of course Chuck Schumer, the clip that we've played many times on this program that we might play again, comes out and he said, for a very shrewd businessman, he's being really dumb because the CIA has six ways from Sunday to get back at you. Now the administrative state, you can call it the deep state, you can call it the shadow government, they outnumber the people's representation. Congress is supposed to be the people's representation in D.C. and we don't do a very good job of it, but we're doing better. We gave the House Republicans a majority, we have some great fighters there, we have Thomas Massie who does a good job against the administrative state, Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz who's terrific, who's going to join us in a little bit. If an unelected bureaucracy has any power at all to take out actual elected and appointed members of government, they are too powerful and it's against the promise of representative government. Yesterday Christopher Wray testified and something quite rare happened. In real time, you saw representative government versus administrative government collide and it was so clear who actually runs this country. It is clear that we are no longer a country of the sovereign of the people. The new sovereign are the unelected, arrogant, smug members of the plutocracy of the Kingdom of Washington D.C. Christopher Wray believes he's better than you, he's untouchable, he runs the secret police, he is the head of the Stasi, he can spy on you, warn you, get you arrested, he flies on Gulf Streams at his liking, he's going to outlast any politician, he is a permanent installation of the bureaucracy. Here's Cut 85, Christopher Wray forgetting information, unaware of information, unable to talk about information. Does this strike you as someone who is afraid of congressional oversight? Play Cut 85. I can't remember the dates. Again, I just can't speak to that here. I'm not an expert. I'm not sure yet. I would really have to see more closely. I'm not sure that I can give you that number. I can't get into. I'm not aware of any such evidence. Not going to speak to that. I'll decline to comment further. I will work with the department to make sure we can figure out what information we can provide. Again, I'm not going to get into that here. Well, again, I don't want to speculate. I can't speak to the specifics. I can't speak to the specifics. The founders intent was never to have this fourth branch of government. It's totally unnecessary, but it fits a trend, a trend of humanity that you might have liberty and self-government. But over time, the failure to pass down those values to one generation to the other, the people slip and they slip and they slip and they clamor and they clamor. It's the same trajectory the Hebrews went on in the Old Testament. Congress's job is oversight and accountability. Wray wants nothing to do with it, but you could just tell. He's just like, I'm in charge. He's probably thinking to himself, I have dirt on all of you, Gates. He believes he is supreme, better than, above, superior. Remember, J. Edgar Hoover luxuriated in that exact same power and hubris. I'm going to play more from the hearing in a second. It's noteworthy because some of our superstars did very well, but Christopher Wray sits atop the throne. The American people don't any longer. So what is on the ballot in 2024? What is at stake in this next election? This won't necessarily resonate with, you know, non-political voters, but this is important with repeating. It is a philosophical election of what form of government do you want? If you vote for the American Democrat Party and Joe Biden, you do not believe in self-government. You believe in a permanent oligarchy. You believe in dozens of Christopher Wray's philosopher kings that have outright authority over you. Donald Trump is the only candidate in the race, maybe Vivek Ramaswamy and others. DeSantis has talked a good game on this, to his credit, but there's a reason why he's indicting him. And I'll show you contrast because the traditional Republican view is to cozy up to these intel agencies. They're doing good work. They're keeping us safe. How? Are you guys going after child sex traffickers or are you going after political dissidents? Like before you, I don't know, indict Rudy Giuliani or raid James O'Keeffe's home or go after Steve Bannon, why don't you go after the human smugglers that are highlighted in Sound of Freedom? Chris Christie goes on television to defend Christopher Wray. This is the unit party position. This is the orthodoxy. The FBI is necessary. This is showmanship. Play cut 79. I want to respond to something that Chris Christie said on Fox News earlier today. He said that Christopher Wray had delivered extraordinary results. The problem is they're just extraordinarily awful. And like Chris Christie criticized us for engaging in fundraising theater during this committee. And I'm not going to take my notes on fundraising from a guy who was a lobbyist and was snout down in the lobbyist financial money laundering situation when he was raising money from them as governor of New Jersey. So I'm more likely to take like Chris Christie's exercise plan than I am his fundraising strategy. I think that's Gates on Fox News. That wasn't a clip. I could tell immediately person's way too skinny to be Chris Christie's. I could see it right on there. OK, I think it's 78. I don't know what's going on here. Play cut 78. What you saw today, I think, was an animated and combative FBI director who's defending the men and women who work for him every day and do a great job and protect us from domestic terrorism, from international terrorism and from these drug cartels and are helping state and local law enforcement every day with their things. So, yeah, I think Chris Ray has done a very good job. And I think, Luke, a lot of the stuff you see today, John, is theater. The people trying to raise money for campaigns doesn't mean there are problems at the FBI. There are. But I believe Chris is a guy who can get it fixed and he's fixed a lot of them already. Chris Christie represents a Republican vision. Again, he has no political support, but it's there. Donors love this. Some donors love Chris Christie. He's going to raise a ton of money, already has, which is we should make friends with the regime. We should cozy up to the UN party. Eat me last. I want to get invited to the parties. The administrative state can help me help me get contracts, help protect me. What form of government do you want? Mike Pence, remember, defended the Department of Justice. Chris Christie defends the Department of Justice and the FBI because they just don't want to get indicted and they want a comfortable life. They want a life that they can feel good. Oh, I'm on the right side of history. So who is sovereign in this country? Founders and the promise of 1776 and 1787 and 1791 is the people are sovereign. That country no longer exists. And you could see it, by the way, we're going to play more and more tape. We have Matt Gaetz coming up next. Just the smugness, the smugness, the lack of wanting to answer questions. Let me just give you another here. Christopher Wright asked by pick pick your pick your fighter ISA. How many people were there on January 6? He doesn't need to answer. He doesn't care. He's not afraid of Congress, but Congress is afraid of him. Makes you think how much blackmail Christopher and the FBI has on these members of Congress. Play cut 67. How many individuals were either FBI employees or people that the FBI had made contact with were in the January 6th entry of the Capitol and surrounding area? So I really need to be careful here talking about where we have or have not used confidential human sources. Was there one or more? Was there one or more individuals that would fit that description on January 6th that were in or around the Capitol? I can't again, I just can't speak to that here. You can't speak to it because I don't work for you, Darryl ISA. I don't work for the people. I'm the king. I run the secret police. Do you know who you're talking to? I'm the guy that gets to put you in jail. I am the law. Silly Congress person that's to deal with elections.

"Andy Roddick is a pickle ball skeptic. That won't stop him from playing for a $1 million. By Shawn Gregory you may have heard about or read one of about 8 million news articles on pickleball. The paddle sport combining elements of tennis badminton and ping Pong that continues to fascinate the nation. The latest sign of pickle ball's ascendance, wollman rink, the venerable skating facility in Central Park will be converted into 14 pickleball courts this spring. Andy Roddick, the former American tennis star and former world number one. Certainly has strong feelings about the sport. It's like tennis with no learning curve, movement, span, or speed. Roddick wrote on Twitter in September. It's safe to count him as a pickle ball skeptic. Especially when it comes to recent efforts to professionalize pickle ball and make it a viable spectator sport. It's hard for me to watch on TV. Says Roddick in a joint interview with Jonathan venison, owner of inside out sports plus entertainment, which operates major league pickleball events. Even when it's played at a high level, I don't enjoy it. I don't find myself trying to study it. And maybe that's my ignorance. Fine. Roddick may dislike pickleball on TV, but he's not about to dissuade you from watching him play the game for $1 million in prize money on ESPN. I would try hacky sack for $1 million too, says Roddick. Give Roddick some credit for honesty. The inaugural pickleball slam, which debuts on April 2nd at noon on ESPN, features four tennis legends, Roddick, Andre Agassi. John McEnroe and Michael Chang, competing for the $1 million purse. The event is the brainchild of David levy, the former president of Turner sports, who led the network when it began airing the match, popular head to head golf competitions with big money at stake, featuring stars like Tiger Woods, Peyton Manning, Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady. Pickleball continues to skyrocket in popularity. In February, the sports and fitness industry association announced that pickleball was America's fastest growing sport for the third year in a row. With participation growing 158.6% over three years. The game has attracted celebrity investors like LeBron James, Heidi Klum, and Patrick Mahomes. Given all this momentum, levy applied a formula similar to the match to pickleball. Levies company horizon sports and experiences, partnered with inside out sports plus entertainment to create and produce pickleball slam from Hollywood, Florida. It just feels like an opportunity to really do something fun. That could give the sport a lot of exposure and get a good rating, says venison. If you insert star power into something that's obviously exploded from a participation standpoint, then you can hit a goldmine. Sure, that's one way of looking at it. As an operator of pro pickleball events, venison is obviously a believer in pickleball as a business enterprise. Roddick. Not so much. But he wants to be clear, he doesn't dislike pickleball as a participation sport. In fact, he swears he's enjoyed learning the game. It's weird, says Roddick. I got a text like a month ago and someone says, how's training going? I said, I don't know. I'm better than my neighbors, saying pickleball is easy to learn is not a knock Roddick insists. The ease with which people can pick up the sport, however, could make it less attractive to consume. Why watch other people do something you can do yourself. When you go to an NBA game, you want to see someone do something that you can't do, says Roddick. You want to see someone tomahawk a slam or Steph Curry pull up from 29 feet or the physicality of Rafa Nadal or the racket skills of Roger Federer. I don't think pickle translates that obviously to television. This month on a sportico podcast, major league pickleball founder Steve Kuhn said pickleball will be easily a top 5 sport in the next 5 years in terms of viewership. We will challenge MLS Major League Baseball and the NHL. I think we'll be in that category soon. Kuhn's a biased observer, but I'd hope we can all agree that this prediction is hilarious. Pickleball is going to outdraw tennis, you're not going to sit around and plan your afternoon around it, or plan a Monday night around it, says Roddick. You're not going to come in with a great barbecue game and replace the history of Wimbledon and the U.S. open to treat them as equals at this point is absurd to me. Venison gamely stands by as Roddick takes digs at a sport he's tasked with growing. He expected the ribbing. I talked to Andy before the call and I said, I want you to be honest, says venison. Radek, as always spoken his mind, pickleball, or otherwise, it's a blast to play, says Ronnie. I've seen my own friend group become obsessed with it pretty quickly. There's obviously something there. There's a draw, a curiosity. You're going to get a chance to convince people. Now, there is a difference between really fun things to do and professional sports. I'm very confident in one, and less confident in the other. A million bucks on Sunday could always change Roddick's tune. He slips in at one point during our conversation, by the way, I've been wrong about pickleball the entire way, so far..

"Don't doubt the project, don't doubt the process. And a couple of our partners even already tweeted back out saying thank you. For those. And we've even moved on to seeing some progress made from our previous donations. One of them being from animal league. This was posted on baby those media page at maybe those media were animals. Didn't we sponsor like a vehicle for them? Yep. Yeah? Hey. That's why I was really amazing. And I was just looking at this thing and you can check it out on baby to add maybe those media on Twitter. And you can see the truck, you can see some and it just looks too cool. Just have that rolling around locally and their area for everyone to see. I mean, it's like a rolling billboard, basically. You know, the more people see that, the more people see the sense of community, it fosters an environment where people think twice before abandoning their dog. And they think they think twice about going out and adopting. They should give it further pause, not to be funny. But to go out and adopt, you know, instead of going to some sort of pet shop, I'm buying some pedigree animal that, you know, is in bread. Yeah. Well, I mean, this baby knows truck. I mean, their nickname and the baby dojo Bill. I mean, it was, it made his first outing today, I believe. It's first official outing anyway. So the baby doge mobile was at adopt in the park at wollman rink, New York City. So located in the southeast corner of Central Park. They were there today, I believe. I'm just trying to check the time. That's huge. 11 and three. 11 three. So it had been finished by now. So I hope that it went really well. And I can't wait to see the pictures from it. On a Saturday, there's so many people out in Central Park too. Much. Yeah. You just walk a truck with dogs that you can go up and I don't know exactly the ins and outs, but I'm assuming you can have a look at some of the dogs they've got, and they included a couple of shelters. I think Bobby and the strays advocate rescue. Muddy paws rescue, Korean canine rescue. So they'd have had some animals down there. So you could go have a chat with the people. And there's volunteers down there who are giving up their own time to do this and baby those are supporting it financially as well, which is absolutely incredible. And I love it. And I'm so happy to be part of baby.
