Stephen Colbert's FCC Hoax and Virginia's Democrat Power Grab

00:00:03 Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk. I run the largest pro American student organization in the country, fighting for the future of our republic. My call is to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody. You got to stop sending your kids to college. You should get married as young as possible and have as many kids as possible. Go start at turning point, you would say college chapter. Go start aturning point youould say high school chapter. Go find out how your church can get involved. Sign up and become an activist. I gave my life to the Lord in fifth grade, most important decision I ever made in my life, and I encourage you to do the same. Here I am Lord, Use me. Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver experts and the only precious metals company. I recommend to my family, friends and viewers. 00:01:09 Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to The Charlie Kirkshow. Hour two is underway. We are going to keep our eyes on Virginia. Why because Virginia is now the I with the Democrat playbook. 00:01:18 Speaker 3: It's the Democrat playbook. 00:01:19 Speaker 2: We used to talk about the playbook in Colorado, how they turn Colorado blue. Well, they're doing the same thing in Virginia. Even though it was only a D plus sixth state in the last presidential election. They're going full COMMI there and here to help us break down what's happening with the redistricting fight in Virginia is Glenn Steuartvant, Virginia State Senator. 00:01:39 Speaker 3: Welcome to the show. Glenn. 00:01:40 Speaker 4: Hey, guys, thanks for having me. 00:01:42 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Blake. Why don't you break down the stakes here? Of course? 00:01:45 Speaker 5: Of course, so just to remind people what's going on in Virginia. They ran as affordability focused moderates, and now they've won, they want to redistrict the state from I believe it's six to five Democrat Republican right now, and they want to make it ten to one in a state that is blue, but not by that big of a margin. And so you can you can look up their maps and it's a bunch of snakes extending out of DC because they all need their chunk of Arlington and Alexandria, Fairfax County, the big blue area. But Glenn, we wanted to have you on specifically, among other things, we just want people to be aware of how far Democrats are willing to go to pass this sort of thing. The understanding I've been given is it's essentially flagrantly unconstitutional what they are doing. The way they're going about this. They're getting the courts to sign the Supreme Court to sign off on things that are incredibly suspect, basically for the sake of pure power politics. Can you lay that out for our listeners? 00:02:44 Speaker 4: Yeah? Sure. 00:02:45 Speaker 6: So five years ago, we had a referendum on the ballot to go to a nonpartisan redistricting commission to take jerry mandering out of the hands of legislators and to create this nonpartisan redistricting commission. And people can debate the and cons of that method. But that's what we have had for the past five years in Virginia and is in our constitution. The Democrats brought us back in in special session right around Halloween of last year and began jamming through this amendment to the amendment which would take jerry mandering back, give it back to the legislature for the drawing of the eleven congressional maps in Virginia. As you mentioned, we currently have pretty evenly divided congressional delegation with six Democrats and five Republicans. That lines up pretty well with how Virginia voted in the twenty twenty four presidential election. I think Kamala got fifty five and President Trump got forty five, so that our current congressional maps match up with how Virginia votes in a statewide federal presidential election. They began advancing this institutional amendment process though, as I said, around Halloween. But the early voting in Virginia, we have some of the longest early voting of any state in the entire country. We've got forty five days of early voting. Early voting had already begun in our gubernatorial election leading up to this past November, and the Virginia Constitution requires that there be essentially two elections before before a constitutional amendment can be sent to the voters as a referendum. And because Democrats had started this process after early voting had already started and a million Virginians had already voted, they didn't have the ability to assess their state House candidates based on where they stood on this amendment. So, long story short, Democrats have continued to strong arm that amendment process. We filed a lawsuit and we prevailed in the trial court. The judge trial judge found that Democrats had violated the Constitution in several provisions of Virginia law. 00:05:10 Speaker 4: And how they went about doing this. 00:05:12 Speaker 6: And of course Democrats, who are represented by the Mark Elias Law firm, they appealed that to the Virginia Supreme Court and then we just found out last Friday that the Virginia's Supreme Court is taking the appeal. So they're going to address the legal arguments, but what they said is is that they're not going to hear the case and decide it until after the referendum vote, which is currently scheduled for April twenty first. 00:05:38 Speaker 5: So pause, I want to pause their Glenn and just emphasize that for our listeners that this referendum, a lower court judge has said it is illegal and it should not proceed, but they're going to let it go ahead anyway before ruling on whether it's legal or not. There's this insanity to it because you just know once let's say it passes, which they they'll do everything in their power to pass it. Then the Supreme Court has this excuse, Well, we can't roll back this referendum and overturn the will of the voters. And I want to also read the text of the ballot question. This is what their Secretary of State has apparently decided as a fair ballot question to go from six' five to ten to. 00:06:15 Speaker 3: One this is the. 00:06:16 Speaker 5: Text should The constitution Of virginia be amended to allow The General assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming, elections while Ensuring virginia's standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the twenty thirty. Census should we pass this law to restore? Fairness don't you love? Fairness don't? 00:06:40 Speaker 4: You? 00:06:40 Speaker 6: Yeah well, then so that was ballot language that passed The democrat Controlled General assembly and that our new, Governor Governor Abigail spamburger. Signed and what is timely about that is we filed a second. Lawsuit so once The Virginia Supreme court said we're going to take this take up this, appeal but we're not going to decide it until after the referendum, happens, which as you, mentioned is putting a lot of pressure to just accept the outcome regardless of the legal. Merits but a second lawsuit was filed and they are actually in a hearing as we speak In Taswell. County one of the issues in that new lawsuit is that ballot language and that it's obviously just a total joke and not a reasonable representation of what this constitutional amendment would. Do so we will see if The Supreme court Of virginia hopefully does the right, thing if they get another bite at the apple with if we're successful in this trial court again and it goes up on appeal to The Virginia Supreme. COURT i think most fair minded, people regardless of where you stand on, it recognize, that you, know the judicial branch, exists or cases like, this you, know if you have a legislature that is breaking the rules not planned by the, playbook violating The constitution. 00:08:01 Speaker 4: And the role of. 00:08:03 Speaker 6: Law the whole reason we have A Supreme court is to address issues like, that and when they punt a case like, this it's very, concerning at least. 00:08:14 Speaker 3: The ideological balance of That Supreme, court is there any. 00:08:17 Speaker 6: Indication so In, virginia the, legislature The General assembly appoints our all of our judges from The Supreme court on, down and SO i think most people would look at. 00:08:30 Speaker 4: It not that the. 00:08:32 Speaker 6: Judges have any particular, ideology but there are four that have been appointed Under republican legislatures and three that have been appointed Under democrat. Legislatures and so it's again concerning Just i'm a lawyer myself in my day, job in addition to serving in the State, senate and the fact that we have a trial court that said this is, unlawful it should not. Proceed The Supreme court is recognized that it's at least worthy of hearing the, appeal but to not hear it before the referendum doesn't make a whole lot of. 00:09:08 Speaker 5: Sense, yeah, well, well thank. You and we just wanted to highlight this because this shows this is how far they're willing to. Go they're very much stretching the, limits breaking the limits of what their constitution. Says, meanwhile we've seen Our republicans In, indiana with no constitutional, barriers just didn't want to do their, maps didn't feel like it made them feel. Icky these are the, stakes and they're doing this along with all the other radical bills they're doing In. Virginia thank, You Senator Sturt. Event we're going to do our best to support. You if you're In, virginia make sure you vote in this. Referendum it's. Right thank you for coming on. Again thanks, guys, Listen. 00:09:45 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be. HONEST i love this time of.

Election, okay so that's a huge loss to the local. Economy top defense contractor announces major move weeks after dem governor takes. Office it's a win for the, heartland it. Says the company said it is moving its multi billion dollar investment in the world's most advanced combat aircraft production facilities To Saint. Louis so, listen you're gonna enact anti business tax regulatory burdens on companies they're gonna. Move and that's not the only institution that is thinking about. Moving and we just had to cover this story Because charlie Loved. Chicago charlie from northern suburbs Of chicago And, Wheeling, illinois grew up a Big bears. Fan and it looks like The, bears The Chicago, Bears Chicago, bears. 00:12:06 Speaker 5: Are becoming The Gary. 00:12:07 Speaker 2: Bears they could be. Moving it LOOKS i, MEAN i think it's still. Ongoing nothing's been decided, yet but more and more likely that they will be moving to Northern, indiana which is a remarkable turn of. Events if that was gonna, happen it's about an hour and a half drive for some people to get to say half. 00:12:27 Speaker 5: Out it would be a half hour From Soldier field with no, traffic. 00:12:31 Speaker 2: Twenty seven miles From Soldier, field which is just a remarkable. Thing let's go ahead and Play Mayor Brandon, johnson the communist talking about. This by point fifty, nine. 00:12:42 Speaker 4: Is my face? 00:12:43 Speaker 7: Straight, okay all, right keep a straight face. Here The bears belong in the city Of. Chicago The Chicago bears belong in the city Of. Chicago, Right And i've said repeatedly that the door is always open for, conversations you, know and you know. What you, Know Kevin warren did call me. Yesterday we didn't get a chance to, connect you. Know AND i still firmly believe that their best position is In, chicago and it's. 00:13:14 Speaker 4: Evidence the evidence is clearly speaking for. 00:13:17 Speaker 5: Itself we've got Old charlie. Tweet he was a, big Long bears. Fan you can throw up the cycle through those you Know. Bears that's what you get for poor management and terrible. Coaching cutler got what he. Deserved what an awful. Call Hashtag bears fantasy. Advice find the team playing The, bears trade for their defense and start. Them he was a long Suffering Chicago bears, fan and SO, i of COURSE i am A packers. Fan i'm very torn here, because on the one, HAND i am A packers, fan SO i enjoy seeing The bears. LOSE i enjoy seeing them get humiliated a. Little but at the same, time it feels weird to SAY i think The mayor's correct The Chicago. Bears they should play In. Chicago they should at least play In. Illinois there's something fundamentally messed up when a team is not even in the correct state of who they supposedly. Represent there's something way off about. 00:14:09 Speaker 2: THAT i feel the same about like The San francisco forty nine. Ers, yes they're playing In Santa, clara which is a massive. Drive it's so far away From San, francisco but we still call them The San francisco forty nine. 00:14:20 Speaker 5: At least at least The New England patriots aren't The Boston patriots. Anymore they did you know that their stadium is literally closer To, Providence Rhode, island a different major city than it is To. Boston it's that far out of. 00:14:31 Speaker 2: The, city AND i think it's it's an unfortunate. Thing listen, though but this is what happens when you have an incompetent local government that can't put business, first can't put its own citizens. First they had bought land In chicago years, ago planning to develop that land and upgrade From Soldier. Field now we could have lots of commentary around the fact, that you, know should local governments be supporting their local, teams should it be this sort of it's an intermix of. 00:15:04 Speaker 3: Privates let's just say it's grow. 00:15:06 Speaker 5: Fun it never pays off to spend as much as these cities did on what is a private for profit endeavor in every case except The Green Bay. 00:15:14 Speaker 3: Packers. 00:15:15 Speaker 5: Uh the it's a, billionaire a mega billionaire who owns these, teams and their values have gone up massively over. Time in large parts local, government huge. Subsidies you'll get cities that will spend a billion dollars two billion dollars to build a stadium that, is then all the profits go to a private, actor and then in twenty years they, say, oh it's out of, date we need to blow it up. Again give me another two billion, dollars Or i'm going to move the team To San. Antonio but this is this is just a competition that they have to do. 00:15:45 Speaker 2: With mike Bron governor Of, indiana is, saying come, in come over To, indiana we watch your. Business they're passing The houseways And Means committee a D nfc passed an amendment, Bill Send It bill twenty seven creating a framework For Northwest Indiana Stadium authority that would enable, bonding land, acquisition and financing for a new. Stadium so they're rolling out the red carpet for These, Meanwhile chicago's, like we want you to, stay but only so much and where and by the, way we sort of resent you because you're, rich and we're not going to roll out the red. Carpet the problem, is, yeah you could say that it's gross these public private, partnerships but there's always somebody willing to take your business and they're willing to roll out the red. 00:16:25 Speaker 3: Carpet so. Listen if you want to, compete you got to. Compete this is the problem With democrats in, general is they're not willing to think business firsts above. 00:16:34 Speaker 5: ALL i think above all it's a sign of how we can't in. Cities you just can't build anything. Anymore to build a, city it's the endless, legal, regulatory environmental. Roadblocks and then if you finally do build, it it takes longer than. Expected it costs two or three times more than it. Should every stadium look them, up every stadium and inflation adjusted, dollars is something built in nineteen sixty that cost five million then and it would cost fifty million, today and then the replacement stadium will see fewer people and it will cost three billion. 00:17:04 Speaker 2: Dollars, well so it's not finalized yet more due. Diligence, negotiators negotiations and approvals are. Needed but it insiders are saying it's close to an inevitability that The Chicago bears are moving To. 00:17:16 Speaker 3: India Gary. 00:17:17 Speaker 5: Bears you just take out THE r and you'll get how how this really is The Gary. 00:17:22 Speaker 3: Bears The Gary, bears like The Care. 00:17:24 Speaker 5: Bears we have one more sports thing that we should flash hit. 00:17:27 Speaker 2: It but by the way they Say, illinois if it's an, inevitability If illinois does not counter, strongly so balls in your. 00:17:35 Speaker 3: Court you are on offense if you want it. 00:17:37 Speaker 5: Me, meanwhile this is a quick sixty second. BLITZ espn is getting rid Of america's. Pastime this would A Paul charlie. Too he wasn't as big of a baseball fan as. Football he loved the, basketball The. Cubs he loved The, cubs and he he Loved, america so we'd Love america's.

Viewers, okay. Listen in, fairness THE wnba has the ratings have, improved but that is not an excuse to get rid Of america's. 00:18:33 Speaker 5: Pator, andrew would you rather find a dime on the sidewalk or have your LOCAL nwsl team win the? 00:18:41 Speaker 3: Championship i'd rather find a dime on the. 00:18:43 Speaker 5: Sidewalk the answer, IS i don't know if we have AN nwsl. 00:18:46 Speaker 3: Team yes's the right. Answer here's the. 00:18:48 Speaker 2: Thing THE espn used to be appointment viewing for young. Men you would watch it in the mornings sports. Center you would watch it on the weekends and a Rainy. Saturday and now you're we're just you're getting like feminism, drivel and it's unfortunate for all of. 00:19:04 Speaker 3: Us it's a fortunate for the. 00:19:05 Speaker 2: Country candles were lit On Bondai beach by, families by, children by people of faith to celebrate a festival Of, light a festival From bible, times one That jesus himself. Celebrated people gathered with, hope seeking, unity and comfort and. Tradition but instead of, light there was, darkness, violence, fear, hatred showing itself at a time meant for prayer and. Rejoicing times like this remind us that even with the ceasefire In, Israel jewish people are being targeted simply because of their, faith and times like this remind us why The International fellowship Of christians And jews exists to stand in the gap providing safety and security To god's. People The fellowship brings Together christians And jews to be a light to Suffering jews In, israel the Former Soviet, union or wherever the needs are. Greatest together we can make a real difference in the lives of those who need hope the. Most your gift today will help provide the security That god's peak so desperately. 00:20:01 Speaker 3: Need VISIT urgentifcj dot. 00:20:03 Speaker 2: Org that's one, WORD urgentifcj dot, org or call now at eight six six three three Eight IF cj that's eight six six three three eight four three two five. 00:20:17 Speaker 3: Without further. 00:20:17 Speaker 2: Ado Brendan, Carr chairman of THE, fcc joins us, now Uh, brendan this is a A i think if the average person watching at Home this has been a very confusing story that they've seen play. Out seems Like james Tall rico is getting the benefit of. It he's raising all this money off of. It so here's the. ALLEGATION i want you to confirm or deny its. Veracity THE fcc strong ARMED cbs said you cannot Have james Taal rico on the air At colbert or. 00:20:46 Speaker 5: Else the way they summarize, it they basically just like they pulled the gun and they're, like you can't have. 00:20:51 Speaker 2: Them, exactly you, guys you guys are the mean bullies Saying colbert can't Have james Tall rico on the. 00:20:56 Speaker 3: Air what is true and what is? 00:20:58 Speaker 8: Fiction, well, look as soon AS i found out that Tell rico's, BEYOND i went down to the vowels of THE, scc of the Media. 00:21:04 Speaker 9: BUREAU i found the dump. 00:21:05 Speaker 8: BUTTON i pushed it AND i, said these are maga. Airwaves now you KNOW i can't run that. Here, no the reality IS i woke Up tuesday morning AND i saw on social media that THE sec had allegedly refused to air in. Interview and this has been just so amazing to watch in terms of why Everyday americans have lost so much trust in the legitimacy of the legacy. 00:21:29 Speaker 9: Media so the claim was made by a politician that. 00:21:32 Speaker 8: THE fc refused to air an, interview which simply did not. Happen and then the claim, was, well it WAS cbs that refused to air the, interview and THEN cbs can out and said, no, again that didn't. 00:21:42 Speaker 9: Happen all we said was. 00:21:44 Speaker 8: We provided GUIDANCE cbs claims to how they could do the interview on BROADCAST tv and comply with all appropriate. Regulations but instead you Saw colbert And Tela rico do that meme where you take a stick and poke it in your own front spokes of your bicycle fall down and claimed that they have been the. 00:22:00 Speaker 9: Victims and the. 00:22:00 Speaker 8: Reason this worked is because they knew that the predisposition of the legacy media would be that they would eat this, up and they. Did they eat it up like slop and it ended up boomeranging on. Them the real issue here is this is demo dem. Violence this is one politician and a dem primary trying to get a leg up and clicks up and donations. 00:22:19 Speaker 9: Up ask here to Another. Democrat so this is demo dem violence that. 00:22:23 Speaker 8: They're just trying to merchandise as having something to do With trump or THE, fcc and, again it had zero to do with. US i learned about this completely totally after the. 00:22:31 Speaker 3: Fact that's. Amazing you found out about it On twitter like so many. 00:22:35 Speaker 2: People so, okay this is the WAY i understand, it and again confirm he. Tonight this only applies to at this, point at this point in the, calendar because we're in primary Season dem VERSUS. Dem so if the equal time rule is basically That James talrico goes, on, well Then colbert has to at least extend an invitation to what's her, Name Jasmine, Crockett and that's all that this. Says so you just at least have to invite her on equal. Time is that essentially? Right you're not alleging THE fcc is not TELLING, cbs AND cbs is not Telling colbert that they need to go Have John cornyn And paxton on as equal. Time it's just relevant to The democrat. Primary that's essentially. 00:23:18 Speaker 8: Right so if you step, back BROADCAST, tv broadcast radio is fundamentally different than any other form of distribution of Program it's different than, online it's different than, YouTube is different than. Cable if you have a broadcast, license there's, special unique things you have to do because you've got the license for. Free it's a valuable public resource and the government is excluding other. People so they're excluding other, people which means it's a public trustee. 00:23:42 Speaker 9: Model you need to look out for the interests of. Everybody, okay that's the. 00:23:45 Speaker 8: Baseline then there was a particular, rule a statute actually That congress passed that, said if you're going to have a legally qualified candidate on the, air you have, to to your, point extend an offer to all other legally qualified. 00:23:57 Speaker 9: Candids doesn't need to be the same, program doesn't need to be the same. 00:23:59 Speaker 8: Home if for some Reason colbert doesn't want to have crockedd, on he doesn't have to do. 00:24:04 Speaker 9: That it's just at some point they've got to offer a comparable. Time that's the. 00:24:07 Speaker 8: Baseline now there's an exception to that, rule and the exception is if you were what's defined in the statute as a bonafied news. Program if you're a bonafied news program MEANING i guess not fake, news then you don't need to comply with equal. Time and the idea there Was congress was thinking, about you, know meet the press and other sort of hard hitting journalistic shows where the hosts weren't trying to put a thumb on the scale for one particular candidate or one particular. 00:24:33 Speaker 9: Party over the, years THE. 00:24:34 Speaker 8: Sec issued decisions that people read as effectively having the exception swallowed the rule. Meeting anything that goes on on BROADCAST, tv whether it's, daytime, nighttime is itself bonafied news and doesn't have to. 00:24:45 Speaker 9: Comply and we've told people is, no that's not the. Law follow the. 00:24:49 Speaker 8: Law if you haven't established your bonafied, news give people egal. Time but to your, Point colbert did not have to have anyone else on that. 00:24:56 Speaker 9: Program he could have run. 00:24:56 Speaker 8: It and all you have to do is put a, file a file in your public, file which broadcasters, have that said we allowed airtime for this. Candidate it is another candidate out, there come talk to us and let's see if we can work something. 00:25:07 Speaker 9: Out that's all they would have been required to. 00:25:09 Speaker 2: Do, well they are turning it into Like World war three over, here that you guys are the, biggest baddest, Bullies so let's go. Ahead this is what's funny to me, too is that you've got you, know Mister potato. Man Brian stelter chiming, In you've Got jensaki and they're. 00:25:24 Speaker 3: All they're all parroting this. Hoax it's. Amazing five oh. Seven this Is Brian stelter. 00:25:30 Speaker 10: Plick tylerco's tweet on. Screen he said THE sec banned Are colbert, interviewing and he's wrong about. That THE sec did not ban the. Interview and that's what is actually so interesting about. This it's about the, impression the possibility of interference causing the networks to possibly self. 00:25:46 Speaker 3: Censor and you Got colbert big hissy. Fit five o. Eight you know who is. 00:25:53 Speaker 9: Not one of my guests. 00:25:54 Speaker 5: Tonight That's Texas State Representative James. 00:25:57 Speaker 9: Talerico he was. 00:25:59 Speaker 1: Supposed to be, here but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network's, lawyers who called us, directly that we could not have him on the. 00:26:07 Speaker 2: Broadcast and it looks like Tall rico to your, point uh Miss, chairman that he's he's taken advantage of this five point FIFTEEN. 00:26:19 Speaker 8: Fcc opening probe into the view after appearance By Tall, rico do you mean to cause TRUMPLE? I. 00:26:25 Speaker 1: I i think That Donald trump is worried that we're about to Flip. 00:26:30 Speaker 2: Texas so he's raised millions off. That what you just saw was actually they posted it to YouTube. INSTEAD i guess like six million people have tuned. IN i mean that it's boomerang very well For Tall. Rico but you, said this is dem on dem, Violence, brendan and the one person that's really upset Is Jasmine crockett got, Operative, yeah bag bag. Operative she's actually the one calling you, know bs on all this. Again so what is that that part that they said THE fcc probe into The? View can you explain what that that was? About that allegations a separate episode where The, view which is Somewhy, disney did Have Tall rico on on the broadcast. 00:27:14 Speaker 8: Airwaves And disney has not established that that program is a bonafide news. Programs we've begun an enforcement proceeding enforcement actions into The view because if they are not bonified, news and again we don't think they've established that at this, point then they would needed to have offered and frankly could still offer equal opportunity to the other, candidates Including Jasmine. Crockett but this was you, know, look this was A i don't think it was a sophisticated play because you just have to understand the biases of the fake news media in order to run. This but you, know Tall rico effectively self streisand affected this, one so you. 00:27:51 Speaker 9: Know hats off to. 00:27:52 Speaker 8: Him but, yeah IF i Was, Crockett i'd be mad If Thatt crockett came out the day that this happened. 00:27:56 Speaker 9: And, said this WASN'T fcc. 00:27:57 Speaker 8: Censorship this Was colbert and Tall rico deciding not to have her on the program for reasons that you, know you'll have to ask. 00:28:03 Speaker 3: Them and this is the. 00:28:04 Speaker 2: Key this is essentially why the rule is, Important, brendan this equal time because what you have, instead you don't have the voice of the. People you have elites at these networks that have basically put their thumb on the scale and, said we want Tall. Rico we think he can beat whether It's cornyn Or, paxton we think he's the guy to beat, them and we're going. 00:28:25 Speaker 3: To drop this guy very good at these. Operators this is an elite gatekeeping in the old school. 00:28:30 Speaker 8: Model that's the whole point of the rule was That congress came in and said we don't want media, elites media gatekeepers deciding the outcomes of primary or. Elections we want the people to do. It we want the people Of texas to make their mind up without unlawful interference for media. Gatekeepers the whole reason that the rule was in. 00:28:46 Speaker 5: Place, now big, PICTURE i think that is worth asking you say that Is congress's. Intent but this does date to when there were two three network television, outlets some radio, outlets and that's what media. Was, today we have shows like this, one we have infinite, podcasts everything on social. Media do you think there's a case to be made this is sort of an obsolete, standard that it infringes a little bit on freedom of, speech and there's so many ways to get your message out. 00:29:13 Speaker 3: There, now what do you make of? 00:29:14 Speaker 8: That? Overall there's a lot of reasonable people that say there's such a diversity of mechanisms to get your perspectives out there that we don't need those types of. REGULATIONS i GUESS i would say two. Things, one it almost cuts the other way because there's so many ways that you can get the message out, YouTube, podcasts, streaming social media that if you want to use that one medium that has just a unique set of, rules that you should do it because it isn't really a constraint on, you because you can go somewhere else if you don't. 00:29:41 Speaker 9: Want to abide by the broadcast. 00:29:43 Speaker 8: REGULATIONS i guess the second Point i'd make is that if people want to do, that then they can go To congress and they can change the. 00:29:48 Speaker 9: Law but you, know my job. 00:29:49 Speaker 8: At this point is to enforce in a fair and balance way the laws passed By, congress and that's that's what we're gonna be. 00:29:55 Speaker 2: Doing, brendan thank you for separating fact from. Fiction THIS i call it The colbert hoax because it's a COMPLETE i, mean it's been a ratings boom for. Him and by the, ways YouTube is six million views or, something is WHAT i.

Is it is. Tough, fore we're just breaking. NEWS us athlete Representing america Likes. 00:33:11 Speaker 3: America it's not the only. ONE i. Think here's the, thing and we talked about. 00:33:16 Speaker 2: This there was similar clips that went around at The Australian open where you get these these scumbag journalists that go around and they try and get, clickbait they try and get their, headline and so they, ask, oh these leading, questions what's it like right now with everything going on in The United? States and THAT Meni President trump is your, president what's it? Like and so they bait these athletes that are not used to thinking deeply about political topics and then they get their headlines and then that's that's what. Happens and in the case of The australian. Opened the same journalist was going around to all The americans asking the same question and most of them answered. 00:33:49 Speaker 3: It, well some of them. 00:33:51 Speaker 2: Didn't and you get the same thing at The, olympics and so they're suckering these woke tards that are you, know giving them bad. Answers so it's great when we get A Quinn hughes type answer that we can all. Celebrate AND i would just say WE i, mean there was that one classic clip from the LAST i think it was a Last Summer. Olympics it was that blackout that we played A she was just, like oh my, GOSH i Love. AMERICA i Love america. 00:34:20 Speaker 5: Overall like what this? Is it says to, me it says much more about the press than, anything because that is what our press wants to do. Us what they want to. Feed they want to make, everything they want to make everything about. Politics they want to kind of stoke these. Things and as part of they've pointed out that That Eileen gou who is From america but Represents china because she makes a ton of money doing, it and you can watch her clips and she basically has a different personality when she is appearing In chinese media totally adopts a totally different. Demeanor it is totally a. Political it is totally just very sweet and pleasant and kind of. Feminine and then if she's appearing IN us, stuff she's, like, oh, well Now i'm In, america have to maximize my. Brand i'm going to shout out women's reproductive rights and promote these left wing. Causes of, course it's all a shamp. IS i don't think she genuinely believes any of these. THINGS i think she just wants to be rich and make. Money and In, america in The Bay, area you do that by mouthing left wing. Platitudes and In china you do that by being strictly a political and saying nothing about the government at, all and you definitely you don't rock the. Boat and so that's what we have In, china that's what we have In america's picked her. 00:35:32 Speaker 2: Team now it's it's important to do a update on the metal count. Here so, oh we do have that clip that was, OKAY i brought it, up let's play it five seventy. 00:35:42 Speaker 8: NINE i feel to represent your country like, this it feels. 00:35:45 Speaker 9: AMAZING i love representing THE. 00:35:48 Speaker 11: US i freaking love living. 00:35:50 Speaker 2: THERE i love it And i'm so HAPPY i get to represent you, say. 00:35:56 Speaker 5: It is a great clip that is very. 00:35:57 Speaker 4: Immortal. 00:35:58 Speaker 2: Won now that's from the twenty twenty Eight Tokyo. Olympics all, right so the medal. 00:36:01 Speaker 3: Count now we are. 00:36:03 Speaker 5: Getting killed By. 00:36:04 Speaker 2: Norway, no, okay Well. NORWAY i don't know what they're, dealing but it's a very cold. Place so they have lots of. Medals thirty four medals For, norway twenty six For. Italy but we've closed the. Gap we are twenty. Five The United states has twenty five. Medals france has. Nineteen Again. FRANCE i JUST i don't know what it is About, france BUT i look At france every time And i'm, LIKE i just you, KNOW i don't buy, It LIKE i JUST. 00:36:25 Speaker 5: I think my favorite Is brazil has a gold medal and it's A norwegian person who just moved To brazil and decided to play for Their olympic team for some, reason and so they have a gold medal In olympic. 00:36:37 Speaker 3: Skiing all. 00:36:38 Speaker 2: Right the last THING i want to talk about here is the border. 00:36:41 Speaker 3: Piece it. 00:36:42 Speaker 2: Convened it almost is Like trump is establishing a, supernational super national organization outside of THE un on purpose just to snub THE. Un and so we've got some clips here Of President trump doing This board Of peace With Hobby, Malay Turkey. COSAKS i mean it's kind of a coalition of the. WILLING i would put it that. 00:37:05 Speaker 11: Way five to eighty, please and finally to The american. PEOPLE i think it's important that The american people recognize why we're here. Today and the reason that we're here today, is, yes to save lives and, yes to promote. Peace but this creates incredible prosperity for The american. People the countries represented here represent trillions of dollars of investment in The United states Of america that would not have been possible without This president's. 00:37:30 Speaker 3: Leadership and advocacy for. 00:37:32 Speaker 11: Peace the economies here represent millions Of american, jobs of people who are receiving products built In american factories and made By american workers would not be possible without a focus on. Peace, so Mister, president WHILE i think this is great for the, WORLD i also think it's really really great for The United states Of. America so we're looking forward to the. 00:37:52 Speaker 2: Partnership so The President trump as the, chairman the executive, board which focuses on diplomacy and investments Is Marco, Rubio secretary Of, State Steve, Whitcoff Jared, Kushner Tony. Blair The they got A Uk Prime, Minister Mark ROWAN ceo of The Apollo Global, Management Ajai, banga The World Bank, President Robert gabriel JUNIOR Us Deputy National Security, advisor And Nikola, ldenov a high representative For, gaza FORMER un. Envoy and there's a number of. Countries LIKE i, said there was forty folks there on stage With President, again it seems like a move Where President trump has been largely snubbed by the international. 00:38:35 Speaker 3: Organizations he's building his. 00:38:37 Speaker 2: Own AND i find the timing of it to be somewhat ironic with The iranian strike potentially imminent right. 00:38:46 Speaker 5: Now, well the name is clearly the biggest thing he. Did he campaigned for The Nobel Peace prize last. Year it was kind of an unprecedented, thing but a Very trumpian. Thing imagine leaders competing to see who can end the most. 00:38:58 Speaker 3: WARS i, mean it's something to see. That by the, way he has a great track record. 00:39:02 Speaker 2: Anymores so let's, hope let's pray for peace that's the final Word i'll say to you. Today pray for peace In. Iran let's focus on our. COUNTRY i think that's what we all. Want but sometimes you have To you have to trust the leaders you, elected and so that's our. 00:39:17 Speaker 3: Position for more on many of these stories and news you can, trust go To charliekirk dot com
