B (3:37)

Yeah. I mean, this is a spiritual war and, and it is very divided. But I will tell you, I'll tell you where I get the hope because. Because you're right, Eric. We're seeing crazies and loonies and evil people come out of the woodwork. But at the same time, you are seeing people leave the Democrat Party in droves. You are seeing people. There's. In what. What Tyler Boyer just said. He's Was the. He is the coo and is. Has been the COO of Turning Point with Charlie since the beginning. He said that there's now more than 54,000 requests for chapters on high schools and universities across this country. Well, I mean, that should give us some hope that there are people who want to do this. I, I was asked to help somebody get in line, get in the queue. And they had an interest meeting a few days ago and they had more than 100 students at a.

A (4:34)

A.

B (4:34)

A fairly well known east coast university, Mid Atlantic State University. So what I would tell you is as angry as I get. And I, I just came from a hearing where the Democrats are just insufferable. Insufferable. I, I get angry, but I do have hope.

A (4:53)

Define the hope, will you? Because I'm searching for it. Like how, how and when?

B (5:00)

Well, the hope for me is this, okay? And that is we take it back to the states. The states are going to turn this around. And Charlie's movement actually centers on the places That I think can actually make the most immediate shift in, in policy and turn the nation around. So you're getting at the young people and by getting the young people engaged, they're going to get out and vote, they're going to help, they're going to run for office.

A (5:26)

And.

B (5:29)

That'S where I see a lot of positive action. I mean, look, I serve in Congress, Eric, And I'm frustrated 247 in Congress because we can't get done what I think needs to be done. But I sense a shift. I sense a shift and part of it is just, quite frankly because of the exposure that, that the lunatics are getting. So the far left radicals, they're being castigated, they are being rejected, they're being exposed. The fact that they think they can go on TV and, and, and, or on a YouTube site or some other social media site and actually poke fun and jeer that Charlie Kirk was assassinated by a left wing radicalized individual, they think that's okay. But the world is now responding, saying it's not okay. Even some of the formerly woke corporations are, are firing some of these people and dismissing some of these people. And that's, that's making their, their efforts to be, they say, well, we have free speech. Well, you canceled us for a good 10 years. It's now that we're canceling you. We're actually, you can keep saying it, but we're going to hold you accountable. And there's a real distinction there and that's, those are nuances. I think maybe I'm grasping at straws, Eric, but I am hopeful.

A (6:51)

Good. Good. You know, you said something you said regarding the shooter, left wing, radicalized individual. Congressman Biggs from Arizona, I think you were close to Charlie. If I, if I recall, I'm on the, one of the boards of TP usa. I think you guys are fairly close. You're there. I, I do not understand how this could be an individual. You said radicalized individual. I, I, from the guy, the older guy, the 72 year old who created diversion immediately, allowing the shooter to get away from the knucklehead, the lunatic who stood up and made himself what would be a huge target. If it was just an assassin shooting folks, it's like it felt very coordinated to me. And then if you read those texts, if you read those texts between the, the alleged assassin and his boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever, his roommate, they just read like a scripted, almost like a Broadway play, almost like one of those, you know, 46 minute TV police dramas where you solve it right at the End. Because there's a manifesto like this, explains the motive, the premeditation, how he pulled it off. It just reads way, way more than the. An individual. Sir, your thoughts? You're right there.

B (8:07)

Yeah, so. So let me just tell you my thoughts a little bit on that. So for me, I look at it and the guy Zen, I. We've done some digging into who he was. That guy is. That guy's a bad dude. Has. Has some prior law, you know, encounters, you know, and this gets to the point because. Because what you're suggesting is maybe this is more orchestrated than. Than it appears at some levels. We've got to get into the platform and they're going to be in front of Congress, I think it is in two weeks. This platform that. That the shooter and. And his. And his trans lover were communicating on. And we've got to get to the bottom of what's going on there because that might actually shed some even further light on this, Eric. And so that's that particular aspect of it. The other aspect of it too is it does seem wrapped up tight. Like this guy is totally. I mean, if you take his email correspondence, you wonder was anybody else acting with them? And yet you had these crazy orchestrations there. And if I hadn't seen orchestrations or, excuse me, just organic stuff in the past, I wouldn't necessarily believe it.

A (9:35)

But the.

B (9:36)

But many of these lefts are so radicalized that they get organic and kind of get into organically perhaps, you know.

A (9:43)

You make a good point. But mad though, can you pull up the full screen of this text? Back, back and forth. I continue harping on this until we get some closure on it. Robinson the shooter. I'm. I will be okay, my love, he says to his boyfriend. But, you know, blah, blah, blah, yada yada. The boy, keep it full. I can't read it from here, guys. You gotta keep it full for me. Roommate says you're the one who did it. Right, question mark? I am. I'm sorry. So there's an admission of guilt. Then the roommate says, I thought they caught the person. Then he goes through. No, they grab some crazy old dude, which is the guy you talked about. Zinn interrogated someone in similar clothing, yada yada. So now you got him in the place because he's describing people he saw. He was definitely there. And then the roommate says something like, why? Why? And he said, why did I do it? Yeah, why? I had enough of his hatred. There's your motive. Okay, so he's got ability to places him in the Scene got the motive and then the one that just closes the door for me that makes me believe this. This is not just two 22 year olds chatting, by the way. No one types like that when they chat. Nobody upon nobody. It says, how long have you been planning this? And the shooter says, bit a bit over a week now. You got premeditation. So you have all. You have first degree murder, slam dunk, case closed. It's just, it's just too obvious for me, sir. Final thought.

B (11:04)

Yeah, I mean, and the other thing that I really have a weird a question on is the etchings on the cartridges themselves. Right. Those, those almost seem too pat as well. I mean, if you think about it. But, but I, this guy is down. He's going to get the death penalty and he, he richly deserves this. But we're going to find out more, I think, in the days and weeks.

A (11:27)

I hope, I hope Congress pushes the FBI and the FBI pushes Utah to speed up this process because there's no reason for this schmuck to be sticking around. 17 years with appeals and whatnot. Congressman Andy Biggs. Appreciate your time, my friend.

C (11:42)

Thanks.

C (13:12)

I think my career would have been shortened considerably because I was definitely spiraling out of control with no end in sight. You know, 16 would have been 18, 18 would have been 20.

A (13:26)

That's the edge right there. The edge is. You're on. The edge could go either way, and the edge is sharp. It could slice you in half. Or you figure out how to tame the fire and own it. And you did that. You did exactly that at that moment. That's. That's powerful. Powerful. All right, folks, after months of holding steady, the Fed is finally final, finally moving again here to discuss as Birch Gold Group precious metal specialist. Good to have Philip Patrick back. Boy, you know, a lot of people were waiting this. You know, I think there's highly, highly widely expected a quarter point cut. Some people said maybe 50 basis points. Some people said, well, what if he doesn't to, you know, stick his, you know, thumb at Trump quarter point? What does it mean for you, Patrick? It's the second move, first one being at the end of Biden's term.

D (14:28)

Sorry, it was a quarter point drop. Nothing significant. Like you said, the markets had priced it in. 95% chance. It's a, it's a move in the right direction. Trump's needs lower rates. The hope was to lower borrowing costs and to stimulate the economy. The concerning part about the rate drop, though, we drop rates, borrowing rates, you know, increased on the Treasury. So what that tells us, despite the Fed lowering rates, demand for us debt is waning, which means borrowing costs are increasing. That was the one thing we didn't want to see on the back of it. And sadly it happened. That, for me, is a big concern moving forward. It's exactly what the President doesn't need right now. We're trying to grow the economy. We don't want to be burdened with borrowing costs. That's probably the biggest problem we have today.

A (15:16)

You know, Philip, I'm looking at 30, $716 the ounce as we speak, right? And another one of the guys in the control room said, like he said, I've been, I've been holding silver for a long time, pushing 40, we say 43, 3 bucks. And I remember silver was like $4 an ounce when, you know, I first started playing around this game. It's amazing how consistent the metals markets have been, even with varying degrees of interest rates and varying degrees of inflation. They just seem to continue up that trajectory.

D (15:45)

You're absolutely right. They've been bucking trends. I mean, gold was always considered a safe haven asset, not for times of economic boom. Look at gold during Trump's first term. Dow ran 50%, gold ran about 50%. So it's bucking trends. It's going up in upward markets and going up in downward markets. And I think it's all because there is a real understanding globally that with $37 trillion in debt, $2 trillion annual deficits, and inability at the moment to close that gap, it's problematic for anyone holding dollars. And I think there's a move now around the world being driven by central banks back to hard assets. I've mentioned before, gold became the number two global reserve asset. Last year, it overtook the euro, now constitutes 20% of global reserve. But there is a long way to go. Go Back to the 1980s, gold was more than 50% of global reserves. Central banks now are saying that is the trend they are going to continue down. 75% of central banks that were surveyed said that they are massively increasing gold holdings over the next half, half a decade. So things are moving. I think they'll continue to move. And sadly, it's a reflection of the debt position we are in and it's not going anywhere anytime soon.

A (17:03)

You know, this is a little bit, a bit wonky, but I've done this a long time and so have you felt that. But you look at the dollar, the value of the US Dollar, it has plummeted for the last three plus. I mean, it's just almost straight down, a little blip up in when Trump got elected, but then it's just continued its downward path. And what folks really need to realize, the world is pushing the dollar lower for whatever reason, other currencies are getting stronger. But when the dollar goes down, that makes things like gold and silver more valuable. So prices of those go up.

D (17:35)

It's exactly right.

A (17:36)

Right.

D (17:36)

That's why central banks are buying it. Gold and the dollar have an inverse relationship. When dollars become weaker, we need more weaker dollars to buy the ounce. Hence the inverse relationship. But that's a very important concept people need to understand because what it also tells us is gold's price doesn't really have a top because currency's value doesn't have a bottom. And a very extreme example of that, 1 oz gold bar in 19, well after World War I in Germany, 142 German marks. The Germans go through quantitative easing. Hyperinflation takes a grip. In The Weimar Republic, 10 years after it cost 142 German marks an ounce of gold was 87 trillion German marks. Now, that is obviously a very extreme scenario, but it explains why gold's growing and why I think it's going to continue.

A (18:27)

It's amazing. I, I, I've spent so many years wondering, you know, when is gold going to make that correction? It once in a while it corrects, but certainly has been a, a, a wild and woolly ride for the gold market and precious metals markets. Philp. Patrick, always good to have you, my friend. Thank you.

D (18:42)

Thank you.

A (18:42)

All right, folks, when is Elon Omar going to be held accountable for anything? Trump called her out by name and she's still smearing Charlie Kirk's name, trying to twist his legacy. Listen to this lunatic. I do believe those of you who are interested in rewriting this hateful man's.

B (19:00)

History are full of.

E (19:02)

Thank you.

A (19:08)

A little potty mouth from the congresswoman who walked into Congress, married her brother to give him citizenship, brought her husband in, and somehow the two of them, Ilan Omar and her husband, somehow that family made $30 million in the last few years. Just sucking off the government teat in Washington D.C. it's disgusting. Apparently, Tampon Tim Walls got upset when Trump called out Elon Omar. He went on MSNBC to whine about it and of course made his entire argument about race. Yep, Tampon Tim, listen.

F (19:38)

Yeah, you see, here's what I would hope, Chris, that the libertarians out there, the folks that fly the Gadsden flag, they would be appalled by this. You don't have to agree with Ilhan Omer. She's representing her people. She's voted in, she's a citizen, she's doing good work. She didn't do anything on this to Donald Trump other than she disagrees with his horrific policies, just like I do. But we all know why he's going after her. Cuz she's a Muslim woman and that's just what he does. And he tries to stir up hate. And look, Donald really ramps this stuff up when I still want to know where the Epstein list is for President Trump. I still want to know what you're going to do about prices out here. I want you to make sure you get some contracts for soybeans with China which are at zero and have a chance of destroying farm economy across middle America. So look, this is all part of the plan, but it's horrific and you can be certain when Donald Trump puts that out, Congresswoman Omar and her family are put at risk. So we're talking about this political violence thing. We have got to get back to the decency.

A (20:38)

The only people who are at risk for political violence are people on the right because the people on the left keep shooting them. Stop it. Tim Walsh, you clown. Apparently, according to the. I would say one of America's dumbest congresswoman, committing a crime doesn't make you a criminal. Listen to Jazzy Jasmine Crockett's head scratcher.

G (20:54)

Understanding what ends up having people become criminally impacted really informs so much of what I do legislatively. Right? So when people are like, oh, you know, crime is terrible. And yes, it is. Right. Like, because when somebody goes out and commits a crime, they don't typically, you know, say, well, I'm a d. Or I'm an arm. I. It's not like, literally, like, it's about, well, how do you fix it? How do you make communities safer? And I do think that I'm in a unique situation because I was having the conversations with people that were going out and committing crimes, and so I understood what was kind of pushing them there. And so I do want people to know that just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn't make them a criminal. That. That is completely different. Being a criminal is more so about your mindset. Committing a crime can come for a lot of different reasons.

A (21:54)

So she says, committing a crime doesn't make people a criminal. Okay, sure, Jazz. And the guy goes, well, like some profound statement, which is absolutely wrong and dumb by definition. If you commit a crime, you are a criminal. Sorry, that's the way it is. It's a textbook. Now, whether you're guilty of the crime or not, that's to be debated. But once you commit the crime, you become a criminal. Unless she's talking about until you're incarcerated or judged by a jury of your peers. I don't know. She's a whack job. JB Pritzker is still comparing Donald Trump to Nazis. Remember, he said he never did that. Even after everything that's transpired with Charlie Kirk, this despicable man, the governor of Illinois, is still running his mouth. Listen, look, I built a Holocaust museum with survivors.

F (22:42)

I've also read a whole lot about authoritarian regimes.

A (22:46)

This is the playbook, folks.

F (22:48)

If you're not paying attention now and.

A (22:49)

Doing something about it, well, then you're going to have to sit there down.

F (22:52)

The rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

A (22:57)

This guy wants to be president. It's a scary. It's a scary, scary stable of people they have on the left that want to be president. Okay, I guess we're going to do break. Is that what you want to do, Mad Dog? Is that we're going?

H (23:08)

Yes, sir.

A (23:09)

Okay, let's do it. We'll be back. Two and a half minutes. Did have the opportunity to speak with Congressman Tim Burchett from Tennessee the other day. Check it out. All right. Our next guest is the congressman from the great state of Tennessee, who with his very calm demeanor and really funny takes on Things, told CNN's Kate Bolden that she and other CNN hosts need to look within. And here's why he said that. Watch by playing the words of the.

H (23:48)

President in order to bring about conversation with an elected member of Congress that's not trying to stir, that's trying to have conversation, and that's trying to ask.

A (23:56)

You what you thought about it rather.

H (23:58)

Than have you come back and attack me about it.

I (24:03)

Well, ma', am, I'm not attacking you. I'm just letting you know that you all need to look within at CNN if you want to continue this down this path, because clearly you're ratings show that, and the conservative movement is showing that, that they're not watching you because of that. If you all truly had some objective reporting instead of constantly attacking conservatives and Republicans, then there would be a change, I think. But there's not going to be a change. You all don't want to change down. Maybe you do, ma', am, but I dare say that the vast majority of your colleagues do not, they do not come from the conservative spectrum. They see this as, is just a, as a Republican type situation. And it's absolutely not. You're seeing as much, you're seeing as much or more on the left than you are from the right.

A (24:52)

Congressman, let's bring in Congressman Tim Burchett, who's with us right now. Give us a little bit of context, the backstory before, before that went down, what was she so, I guess defensive about?

I (25:06)

They were attacking President Trump, you know, because he was going after the left wing. I mean, here's a guy who's been shot once, tried to be assassinated twice. You know, we've had Steve Scalise with the Republic and they had a Republican hunting list. And it took us five years to get the FBI to put it on a, as a political assassination attempt. You know, they just said it was some random act of violence kind of thing. Like this guy just shot, showed up at our, at the baseball practice and started shooting at people, you know, and, and I just talked about how it's just ingrained, it's ingrained in our federal government. This is ingrained in cnn. And then I explained to her that, and for cnn, I mean, you know, like ABC the other night was saying how, you know, it was almost like what the guy say, it was, it was kind of sweet, the conversation that this, the assassin of Charlie Kirk and his transgendered lover we're having. I mean, you know, what's next? Ava Braun and Adolf Hitler's love notes are sweet. You know, look, all they're trying to do is humanize these demons and we got to stop it. We've got to stop it. And they've got to stop it. They are at the cause of this. The media is at the cause of this. They're the ones putting this garbage out. And I said, yet you keep putting it out. If it's so bad what Trump says and why do you keep, why do you keep reprinting it? Time after time, msnbc, hundreds of times in the last few months, they called Trump a fascist. I mean, that's just, that's a dog whistle, man. That's all that's doing is trying to incite the left and further, you know, go after us. And so I've had it. We need to take the gloves off. I'm tired of these guys in my party always talking about compromise. The only time the Democrats talk compromise is we're in the minority and now we're in the majority. We ought to start acting like it, brother. We ought to start acting.

A (27:03)

You're so right, sir. You know, we found out these hosts are saying, oh, and they're really freaked out about Trump saying he's going to look into these left wing, these media, these groups that were maybe funding some, some of the hate or certainly some of the rhetoric that's been then going around. But we found out just recently, the FBI director, Cash Patel tells us that under Biden, Biden instructed the DOJ to look into right leaning groups. And TPUSA was one of those groups. So this whole idea of their outrage that Trump could suggest that they, he was going to look into some of these left wing groups and see if there's any, you know, any sort of domestic terror sells going on within them is insane. They do the exact same thing and then they want to point the finger at Trump and at you guys. And, and one more thing, Elon Omar may be under a censorship vote if it gets, if, if, if the speaker decides to bring it up for blaming Charlie Kirk for his, his own suicide or his own assassination because of his words, is what she said. And then you have Jazzy Jasmine Crockett saying Charlie Kirk would still be here if it wasn't for assault rifles. Well, I got news for Jazzy had nothing to do with assault rifles as the shooter use the. Use a hunting rifle or a range rifle, not an assault. They don't even know what the hell they're talking about. Sir. Sorry.

I (28:15)

They don't know what they're doing. Mauser. Yeah. It's ridiculous. I've listened to this garbage all along. You know, they, they want to outlaw shotguns. It's just, it's pathetic. They've got no sense of what's going on in the world. All they do is they, they, they, they get a talking point from the DNC and then they spread it out, and that's all they're doing right now. And it's not, and it's not working. Obviously, their numbers, the best, the best friend they've got right now is the Republican Party, because I don't think we can get out of our own way. But hopefully America sees what's behind this and our leadership gets their butts in gear.

A (28:51)

Okay, Congressman, we, we had a little bit of a crunch for time. Apologize. Thank you so much for bringing this to us, and we're going to stay on it with you, and we'll have you back very, very soon. Congressman Tim Burchett, thank you so much.

I (29:03)

Thank you, brother. Keep at it.

A (29:04)

All right. And we played that because we had started the interview and Trump came on, so we had to take, take the Trump moment there. So we played it, but it still lasted. He's very right. He's very right. The best friends the Democrats have right now are the Republicans because they can't get their act together. They really need to get your crap together, guys. Get it together now. You got, what, 15 more months till, till midterm elections. You got to keep Trump with the House and the Senate guaranteed for the next 15 months. You got to keep your, your stuff together and get everything done you possibly can. You have no idea what's going to happen in 26. I hope it stays all Republican, but if it's not, he's going to be a lame duck. You don't want that. For the last two years of his second term presidency, Eric Swalwell doubled down on the Nazi rhetoric comparing President Trump to Hitler yet again. This clown just does not learn. Watch.

C (29:54)

Donald Trump is America's Hitler.

A (30:01)

You know, he just said that literally. The bullet casing from that Tyler guy in Utah said, hey, fascist, catch the bullet. Catch the bullet. Meaning he was going to kill him. To have this, this red. This Fascist threat. This, this ridiculous Hitler Nazi stuff, going white supremacist. You are the reason, Swalwell, you are the reason that these lunatic drugged up trans whatevers are picking up guns and killing people that they listen to. You call Trump Hitler or people who support America first Nazis, we're all targets because of that stupid rhetoric. You want to, you want to unite you tone, tone down the rhetoric. I don't think we should yet. Sorry. More from Swalwell who thinks that Republicans are turning their backs on FBI Director Cash Patel. Another basis claim that he has single handedly tried to ignite. Listen to it.

C (30:54)

You know what I found interesting Lawrence, talking to Republicans is that they also think privately that Patel is not up for the job and not just because he screwed up the Charlie Kirk investigation. It's not just because he refuses to release the Epstein tapes. As one Republican told me, I just don't feel safe with this guy. And if you look at his testimony, particularly what you just played there and the way he conducted himself yesterday in front of the Senate, this person is not someone who's going to keep anyone from harm. And you look at him and you think this guy's unhinged and he doesn't see his duty as protecting us from harm. He is just protecting himself from Donald Trump.

A (31:38)

It's the common divide and conquer he sparks up. Boswal sparks up this debate saying I talked to a Republican. This guy said I don't feel safe. Well who, who, who was that? Swallow. Are you lying? I mean you lied about Fen Fang Fang, the little Chinese spy that you were sleeping with. Remember that? You lied about that. You're both married. She was married. You were married. But I'm sure she got some good information out of you. The rhetoric from the left continues to get nastier. Nastier. These deranged people are saying whatever they want. They never stop to think about the impact of their words. Well, here's one of those. Source backed Philly, the district Attorney Larry Krasner, who's calling Trump a fascist because he can.

G (32:19)

Question was raised whether it was necessary to compare the MAGA movement to fascists.

F (32:24)

100% necessary. My father volunteered and served in World War II. Half of my family tree is gone and it's gone because of Nazis and it's gone because of fascists.

A (32:36)

Time to say that. I don't think it should be illegal to call someone a fascist. I just want you to understand Democrats, when you keep doing this, you're going to be the reason, you're going to be the root cause. For some of these shooters, just. Just understand where it's coming from. Hey, fascist catch. On the bullet from Tyler Robinson through Charlie Kirk's neck. Hey, fascist catch. Okay. Do you hear it? See the pattern? And you want to keep doing it, go ahead and do it. But just understand, blood is on your hands. I agree. We have a First Amendment protecting a lot of speech. That's not speech that necessarily is going to get the whole public in trouble, but it certainly is not speech that we want them to continue because people on the right are being killed over it. Congressman Maxwell Frost took a page from Krasner's book, echoing his fascist comments almost word for word. The Democrats are sticking by the playbook no matter what. Here's Frost talking about Republicans and Trump. Donald Trump doesn't want a democracy. He wants a throne. And his cronies are clearing the way. The president and his lap dogs. You. Here in the United States Congress, the Vice president, the FCC chair, the Attorney general, Secretary of State, and congressional Republicans are implementing a dangerous agenda to punish their opposition. Fascism is not on the way. It is here. The First Amendment is how generations of Americans, from civil rights activists to labor organizers, American worker, LGBTQ activists, have fought for progress. And it is our power. Okay, all right, I'm done with these lunatic Democrats. We'll be back. Two and a half minutes. Are you nervous? Are you scared?

C (34:16)

You know, I was until probably the last three months. When I. When I was diagnosed a year and.

I (34:23)

A half ago.

C (34:26)

My symptoms were very. Migraine, very minor. And I think compared to other people who are later in the disease, they're still mining. But, you know, you. And you just missed it. Did I notice. I noticed that my dexterity in my right hand, even with medication, is still suspect at best. Like writing, doing something tedious, like got a screwdriver. I always have to use my left hand to help guide. And that's even with the medicine. That wasn't the case at first.

A (35:03)

So.

C (35:05)

Yeah, you know, it was kind of an aha moment. I noticed that the symptoms had gotten a little worse for not responding to medication because my main doctor. A lot I thank the world. Thanks, Wendell. Wendell said it's going to progress.

A (35:26)

How much the reason why I want depends on that. I want to show you that because I need you. Yesterday did amazing. I put this up yesterday. Came out you but 500 new subscribers on YouTube do it. Eric Bowling the Edge on YouTube. Subscribe for me. All you people watching right now, subscribe. Killing it. Brett Favre was just opening up about the Parkinson's that he's been diagnosed with and how he's dealing with it. One of the best quarterbacks ever to walk the earth Edge, folks. Go and subscribe. We'll be back. Two and a half minutes. A party that has spent years censoring opinions that aren't their own, that they don't like, is really up in arms right now. That a politicized comedian with a crappy late night show had his program suspended over over the fact that he told blatant lies on the air over and over and over again. I mean, they are furious on the left. They're really, really angry. They're yelling, they're yelling so damn mad about it. They're screaming about the first Amendment. But at least, at the very least, they were just as furious, angry, yelling up in arms over a man who was assassinated in broad daylight. Were they an innocent man whose only crime was to talk to young people around the country, debate them and express his opinions? I don't know if they were that mad about it. I don't think I've heard anyone too upset about that. Remember how angry they were about an innocent young man, husband and father, losing his life to a bad man? Leftist, transgender, associated murderer, right? Not so much. That's right. They weren't angry. They weren't angry. In fact, they said he was asking for it. They weren't furious about that. In fact, they celebrated it. Funny how that works, right? For the party of evil, losing a life, that's okay, but losing a TV show, well, now that's crossing the line. The second worst president in our history has more things to say. Quoting Obama being the second worst, obviously, the first being Biden. Obama said this commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents. You get that, everybody? Did you get that? Jimmy Kimmel losing his job is the same as the assassination of Charlie Kirk, according to Barack Obama. He said it right there. His words. Losing your TV show is like losing your life, folks, to the Democrats. Do you see how twisted these people really are? And it starts at the very tip top of the socialist iceberg. Let's review the facts one more time, shall we? Jimmy Kimmel lied. He explicitly lied on air about Charlie Kirk's assassin, saying that he was a MAGA associate when we all know, thanks to the FBI, that he was in fact a leftist lunatic. Catch this fascist. Hmm. And it's a violation of FCC guidelines. It's disinformation. It's a lie. And not just that. It's wholly irresponsible. He's been making Trump jokes for years. What got him canned was lying about a crime. He can say it anywhere else he wants, but you cannot just go on TV and deliver it like it's fact when it's not. Even if it's a comedy show, you have to let people know this is comedy. It's right there. Black and white, prohibited from broadcasting false information concerning a crime. He. Right there. There's the statute right there. He violated FCC guidelines, but the left insists on making it about the First Amendment, something Democrats once cared about, but only when it was about punishing conservatives. Of course, you shouldn't be banned from.

I (38:56)

One platform and not others for providing misinformation out there.

F (39:02)

There's no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech. And especially around our democracy, there are.

A (39:08)

Americans who are engaged in this kind of propaganda, and whether they should be civilly or even in some cases, criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrent. If people go to only one source.

E (39:25)

And the source they go to is.

A (39:27)

Sick and, you know, has an agenda.

E (39:31)

And they're putting out disinformation. Our First Amendment stands as a major block.

A (39:37)

It's really hard to govern today.

G (39:39)

This is a matter of corporate responsibility. Twitter should be held accountable and shut down that site. It is a matter of safety and corporate accountability.

H (39:47)

The First Amendment is not absolute.

B (39:49)

It.

A (39:49)

It does not protect any single thing. And the First Amendment is not absolute, says Goldman from New York. Congressman, you're wrong. You're wrong, my friend. By the way, Jimmy Kimmel also got canned because he lost most of his audience because he lied, he wasn't funny. And it costs about $150 million to produce a show that no one's watching. I heard he was doing, like, 120,000 viewers in the demo. I can yell out the window. I could tweet something and get more people to see it, like during COVID What are you saying? Mad dog. Mad dog. Okay, we taking it?

H (40:23)

Yes, sir.

A (40:23)

Okay, we're gonna take Trump, guys. This is how we work. That's how we roll. President Trump. F. Mary.

H (40:44)

Well, thank you very much. As you know, we passed the continuing resolution in the Republican House today. It was an amazing vote, actually. It showed we want to keep things going and going properly. It was good for a lot of reasons. Republicans want to keep government open. But in the Senate, we have 53 Republicans total, and we need 60 votes that means we need Democrat votes. I want to thank Senator John Fetterman. He wants to keep the country open. We're doing so well as a country. We're doing probably better than ever before. If you look at the stock market and other indicators, we have tremendous investment coming in, record investment coming in. Everything is going well. But the Democrats are unhappy about that because they don't want it to go well. I think they actually dislike our country greatly. So they want to shut down the country. They want to have open borders. They want to stop the fighting of crime where we've been very successful. The D.C. as you know, Washington, D.C. is a hot place right now. Everyone's having dinners. They're going out all over. There's very little crime. They haven't seen numbers like this in many, many years. And other places, as you know, we're going into not folks will soon be going into Chicago. We've already had people out there and in there, and FBI's been there and brought the numbers down, but we don't be bringing them down a whole lot. But I guess they want crime and we fight crime, and it's a pretty big difference. They want to have men playing women's football. They want transgender for everybody. And if they don't get everything that they want, all these things that they want that are proven so bad and they want to close our government down, we're not going to let bad things happen to our country. We're not going to approve things that we shouldn't be approving. Just today, the House Democrats voted against condemning the political assassination of Charlie Clark. Who could vote against that, saying, please condemn the assassination of a human being? And they said, no, we're not going to do that. Remember this, we had an election great. A very short time ago, Republicans won presidential. We won the popular vote by a lot. We won all seven swing states. We won the Electoral College by a lot. We won most US Counties in a total landslide. So we won most. It's a very big statistic. We won the counties in a number that I don't believe has been hit before. 2,600 counties versus 525 counties for the Democrats. So the Democrats really should start respecting what takes place at the voter booth. In many cases, it's not a voter booth because they have male in voting, which is a very corrupt situation. But despite that, we won an alliance side. And we have to remember, when you win the election, elections have consequences. So we'll continue to talk to the Democrats, but I think you could very well end up with a closed, closed country for a period of time. And we'll take care of the military, we'll take care of Social Security, we'll take care of the things that we have to take care of. A lot of the things that Democrats fight for, which in many cases aren't very good. Things will not be able to be paid. So we'll watch and see how they do with that. They'll have to handle their constituents pretty carefully. So we're proud to announce that we won the House. We define in the Senate we need 60 of us, so we have 53 Senate senators and we need 60 votes. That means the Democrats have to vote in the Senate. And I don't think they will be voting now. What we are doing, we're really here today to talk about something else, which is the gold card, which is going to bring a lot of money into our country, which is going to reduce taxes and lots of other good things. But we'll save that for a little bit later. Why don't we do this first and then we'll talk about the gold card. Okay. Any questions? Yeah, I had a great call with President Xi and as you know, he approved the TikTok deal. And we're in the process. We have some great investors, big, some of the biggest in the world, American investors, great people. And we look forward to getting that deal closed. Is it totally critical? Well, I think so. When you say fully approved, I don't know what that means. We have to get, to get it signed. I guess it could be a formality. I found his word to be very good. President Xi and I had a long talk. We talked for almost two hours and starting at 8 o' clock in the morning. And I think it was a very good talk. We talked about trade. We talked about war. We talked about a lot of things. We talked about Russia, Ukraine, obviously, and Gaza. Talk about a lot of subjects. It was long call. It was a big call. We have a very good relationship. But the TikTok deal is well on its way, as you know, and the investors are getting ready. And I think China wanted to see it stay open, too. They wanted to see it. And I can tell you the young people in our country wanted to see it. They opened very badly because, and if you take a look at my numbers, no Republican has ever done anything like we've got massive numbers of youth and by the way, helped very much by Charlie Kirk. So Charlie was very much in favor of TikTok. He liked TikTok and he said, you know, you should use it and other people said that too. And I used it and I don't know, I have the all. I think I set records, I look at numbers that are phenomenal. We'll pass them out to you. And it had probably a pretty big effect on the election because we won the election by a lot. So we are at a situation where in a little while, meaning a number of days, we'll probably, I don't know if you can make a deal with these people. I think these people are crazy. You know, again, anybody wants to open borders and don't want to fight, they don't want to fight crime. They hate to fight crime. And in Chicago last weekend you had 11 people killed, murdered and you have 28 shot. And those numbers have been pretty consistent all throughout a period of time, whether it was 4 people, 5 people, 6 people, 11 people, 12 people killed, murdered. They don't want to spend money to fight crime and it's not even much money, relatively speaking, it's very little. But we're going there anyway. It doesn't make any difference. We're going to Chicago, we're going to Memphis next and we're going to clean up the crime in the cities because we have to do that. Okay. With this deal today, are you confident that the CCP won't be exerting control? Yeah, we're going to have a very, very tight control. And look, it's an amazing thing that's been.

E (48:05)

People want it, the young people of this country want it badly. They, the parents of those young people want it badly. And so we were able to work out a deal with China and it's a very good deal for us. It's a very, I hope it's a good deal for them.

H (48:20)

Or would you accept a deal where China controls the algorithm of TikTok?

E (48:24)

Well, it's all being worked out. We're going to have very good control. We have American, these are American investors, all of them. And they all love our country. Country. They're all very well known people, very famous people actually financially, and they'll have, they'll have control of it. Mr. President, I just, I want to say, I want to thank President Xi because he was a gentleman and we've just had a good relationship and we wanted people, a lot of people in this country want it to be open. If it weren't open, if it weren't open, maybe, I don't know, I think we won by so much it wouldn't have mattered. But we got a lot of votes, we had a lot of Republican votes from very young people. You go ahead, Jeff.

A (49:07)

Russian jets entered Estonia's airspace today for 12 minutes. Do you see that as a threat to NATO?

E (49:14)

Well, I'm going to have to look at it. They're going to be briefing me in a short while, so I'll let you know about it tonight or tomorrow.

A (49:20)

What's your take in general?

E (49:21)

Well, I don't love it. I don't love it. I don't like when that happens. Could be big trouble. But I'll let you know later. They're going to brief me in about an hour.

A (49:29)

And a follow up on Charlie. Kirk, there's been a lot of talk about free speech this week. Do you see a difference between cancel culture and consequence culture?

E (49:39)

I mean, your question's a little trick question. I'm a very strong person for free speech. At the same time, when you have networks that where I won an election, like in counties, I guess it's 2,600 to 525, that's called landslide, landslide times two. When you have that kind of, that level of popularity or voter support, as I did in the last election. And yet 97 and 94%, different numbers, you see different numbers with different stats. But 97, 94, 95, 96% of the people are against me in the sense of the, the newscasts are against me. The stories are 90. They said 97% bad, so they gave me 97. They'll take a great story and they'll make it bad. See, I think that's really illegal, personally. You can't take, you can't have a free airwaves. You're getting free airwaves from the United States government and you can't have that and say, and somebody that just won an election. And I had to go through this during the election. I think it's a miracle that I can win when 97% of the stories on the networks are bad or whatever it may be. Whether it's 89, it doesn't matter. It's a tremendous number. You know it. You report it all the time and it changes. But when you have that kind of a negative reporting, fake negative reporting, when they take a great story and they make it into a bad story constantly, that's what they do. Look, 60 Minutes took Kamala's answer and they threw it out and they gave her a different answer so that she sounded competent when things like that happen. George Slopadopoulos from your network. Right. George Sloppodos had to pay $16 million to me because of what he said, and that's ABC. You had to pay more than that. Your network had to pay more than that. So I think it's very sad, but I think that reporting has to be at least accurate. At least accurate to an extent. Again, when somebody is given 97% of the stories are bad about a person, that's no longer free speech, that's no longer anything. That's just cheating. And they cheat and they become really members of the Democrat National Committee. That's what they are. The networks, in my opinion, they're just offshoots of the Democrat National Committee. Mr. President.
