We've devalued the term. And there are Republican members of Congress that are saying it's a wonderful thing that, that Michael Byrd killed an unarmed Trump veteran supporter. I'm going to Read some of those. Is that really the quality of the Republican Party now praising the execution of Trump veterans who are unarmed and people say, well, they shouldn't have been there.

Understand that Senators Hawley and Blackburn are asking for Biden's resignation and Madison Cawthorn is calling for Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment. Is this the liberal agenda coming to fruition? Getting Biden to step down so that Harris would be president will actually happen. I am troubled because Biden should be impeached and removed from office immediately. But Harris is not the answer to America's pleas for a wise and strong leader. What are your thoughts? God bless, Alana or. Yeah, Alana. Well, obviously, Kamala Harris will probably be even worse. But look, you want to disrupt the regime while you can. You want to delegitimize them. And if that means getting Joe Biden impeached or removed or such pressure that he has to do so, resigning in disgrace, so be it. And my evidence for this? Let's say he resigns, which is unlikely, but you never know because of health reasons or whatever. Gerald Ford was never treated as a legitimate president. Now, Gerald Ford was not elected because Spiro Agnew resigned, and Gerald Ford was appointed in response and kind of as a filling of it. But successor presidents have mixed results in American history, and there's plenty of them. Teddy Roosevelt ended up being a very effective successor president to William McKinley. We have many examples. I think Warren G. Harding resigned, didn't he, Connor? Warren G. Harding, I think, resigned after the Teapot Dome scandal. And then Calvin Coolidge became president. I could be wrong. I'll get a fact check that. My 1920 corrupt Ohio politician memory is not what it used to be. Yeah. And then, of course, Lyndon Bates Johnson was a successor to John F. Kennedy. So successors sometimes have trouble governing because they do not have a specific mandate. Very few people go and vote for vice president. And people say, well, Kamala Harris will be worse. Did Warren G. Harding really die in office? I knew that there was a successor. I thought he resigned. That's really interesting. I didn't realize he died. Okay, so Warren G. Harding, awful president, did it went Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover. Is that right? Wilson, Hardin, Coolidge. Here. My list was right. Okay? And so there was a lot of turmoil in those first 20 years of the 1900s. And my point is, this is. People say, well, Kamala Harris is going to be worse. No, Joe Biden is already doing what Kamala Harris would do. He is just as radical. There is not a moderate position in this entire White House. Remove him while you can. Take the opportunity when you can delegitimize the regime, create upheaval. What would Kamala Harris do that Joe Biden is not doing? Would Kamala Harris keep the southern border wide open? It's being done. Grant amnesty to illegals. It's being done. Spend trillions of dollars we don't have. It's being done. Screw up Kabul royally. It's being done. And so a lot of people are saying that if we remove them, be careful what you wish for. We already have what we don't want. And successor presidents post Truman have had difficulty governing the country, difficulty managing multiple crises. And now that's not a perfect rule. Maybe Kamala Harris would be much worse. Maybe she would go in a more radical direction. But here's what I will say. Kamala Harris is double digits less favorable amongst independents. Amongst than Joe Biden is. Joe Biden does not bother independence. Kamala Harris scares independents. Her cackle, her tone, her approach, her arrogance, her views, her radicalism. Kamala Harris is a younger diversity style. Hillary Clinton. In fact, MSN says that Kamala Harris has an unprecedented negative rating. America just doesn't have a good feeling about Vice President Kamala Harris. And you think that as soon as she does more press conferences, that's going to go up? Of course not. Kamala Harris is so unpopular that Gavin Newsom doesn't even want Kamala Harris to get to, to come to California. In fact, Kamala Harris is 17 points less popular than Mike Pence was. And Mike Pence was not even viewed very popular, you know, very favorably. 13 points net difference. 17 points. Vice presidents are tricky things. Al Gore, Dick Cheney, Joe Biden, Mike Pence, Kamala Harris. But Kamala Harris has the lowest total positive rate, the highest total negative rate of any vice president in the modern era. So if that's who you want to try to have run the country with the same sort of policy position, so be it. Challenge the regime when you can. Now, do I think Joe Biden's going to resign? I think he'll resign if we keep the pressure on enough. I don't think he can physically or mentally handle many more days like this. Joe Biden cannot handle the stress or the pressure. Obviously. He took 11 days off as the Taliban took over Afghanistan. And look, before we go any further to ama, you guys know that I want all of you to learn From Great Books.

Right now you guys are able to consume big ideas quickly. Thinker.org Charlie check it out. Good morning Charlie. My kids attend school in San Antonio in Northside ISD and they are deliberately disobeying the Supreme Court ruling of abiding by Governor Abbott's executive order banning mask mandates. My high school daughter stood her ground and refused to wear a mask today. She has had eight asthma attacks this week. The principal told her that I will need her to wear her mask or leave campus. I asked how NISD thinks they have the legal authority to enforce masks and he said he didn't have an answer for that. Of course not. He repeated himself about masking or leaving campus and not being able to attend classes. This is so evil. My daughter choose to chose to stand her ground. We left. My question is what can we do here in Texas? I've reached out to the governor's office, the attorney General, the superintendent and nothing is happening. This has to end. Thank you. I love your show Amber thank you. Amber. The reason why your daughter is being forced to wear masks regardless of what the Texas legislature has passed and Governor Greg Abbott has signed into law is because leftists, Democrats and liberals that run these schools, they are not afraid of the consequence. They're not afraid of the potential penalty that will come down if they violate the law that Republicans pass. We're experiencing this right now in Scottsdale. I just gave my speech at the Scottsdale Unified School District a couple days ago where I told the Scottsdale Unified School District that they are breaking Arizona law by mandating masks on children despite what Governor Doug Ducey assigned into law. And they basically shrug it off and they say Delta variant we could do whatever we want. So Amber, let me connect two things for you. The reason why the head of the San Antonio school district thinks can they can do whatever they want is because when they see Democrats flee the state of Texas to try to block quorum and no one gets arrested, it plays into the narrative that the regime of the media will protect you if you rebel against Republicans. But if Republicans rebel against Democrats, they will crush you. For example, my friend in Chicago is one of the people at the board at Timothy Christian School and at Timothy Christian, they, they said, you know what, we understand there's a mask mandate. We're going to look at all the data before we make a decision. Without even a phone call, the Illinois State Board of Education revoked their charter immediately. Full penalty. So, Amber, if the governor of Texas or the attorney general was serious about protecting children and actually enforcing the law, they would use political power to go after the San Antonio school district. So what can you do? Be happy to connect you with some legal support. I don't know how successful that will be. Your daughter had eight asthma attacks this week, probably because she's being forced to wear a mask all day long, which is child abuse and there is no epidemiological reason for it. Instead, mask mandates are basically being pushed by these social control freaks that love to control their people's lives. Cicero, who was a one year Roman consul and wrote extensively about political power and was one of the people that helped frame the American system of government thousands of years before. He was a contemporary of Julius Caesar. He was actually killed by a different triumvirate, but I think Brutus was involved in that. I could be mistaken. They cut off his head. Actually, Cass Cicero was a little bit of a sarcastic artist, if you will. He was a best selling authority. I wrote in my book the Maga Doctrine that Cicero was Trump before Trump. Anyway, Cicero had a quote and James Madison had his own version of the quote where it said, quote, the more laws, the less justice. And James Madison had his own, quote, one of the fathers of the American Constitution, where he said, the more voluminous the laws, the less likely justice will occur. So I have my own quote building on the backs of the great Cicero and James Madison, which is the more rules, the more tyrants, the more rules there are, the more very sad people are all of a sudden going to feel empowered and emboldened to try to micromanage your child's masking behavior. She had eight asthma attacks this week and the principal, principal told her that she has to wear the mask or leave campus. And your daughter chose to stand her ground. The only way this gets fixed, everybody, is if Republicans who have political power decide to be a legitimate check and balance. I was on a flight the other day on an American Airlines flight and this flight attendant came up to me and again, I have a very good relationship with flight attendants. It's not about flight attendants. I've Complimented flight attendants endlessly. This flight attendant, she. She should never be in charge of anything consequential. She would have been one of Mussolini's revered enforcers. She was a tyrant. Walking through the. She. She found pleasure in managing people's masking behavior. So she came up to me and she said, you have the wrong type of mask. I don't even know what she meant. She said that it was not fully covering it. I wore the mask on planes multiple times. And she was so insistent and angry and mean about it. I thought to myself that's when the quote said the only reason that she is as important as she is as far as managing what goes on my face is because of all these ridiculous rules that are passed. The more rules, the more tyrants. You want to stop this descent into authoritarianism. Well, repeal the silly rules. Charlie. Is it a fair question now? Is our president compromised? Consistent bad policy decisions which reward our enemies such as China, Russia and opec? Now is the time to find out before this president does any further damage to our country. Look, I've said for quite a while that Joe Biden is being puppeteered and is quite honestly being controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. We know that Hunter Biden did extensive business dealings with the Chinese Communist Party. We know that Tony, Bob Yulinski came out and said that there was 10% for the big man who put aside in dealings with the Chinese Communist Party. We know that Hunter Biden is selling garbage pieces of art for hundreds of thousands of dollars. So, yeah, I believe that their. Muriel, might be a blackmail operation against Joe Biden. Very well might be that Joe Biden is being controlled and is being. Is being blackmailed for behalf of the Chinese Communist Party. And a Taiwan moment is coming, everybody. We have predicted this for a couple months. There is going to be a moment of reckoning with Taiwan. Will Joe Biden side with Taiwan and America or with the Chinese Communist Party? His owners, his employee, his employer, who is. They've invested in him for quite a while. You're trying to say he's all of a sudden going to back down? I don't know about that. Joe Biden has always sold himself out to the highest bidder. Next question here. Paul from Iowa. Charlie, do you think that we should reinvade Afghanistan at this point? Thanks so much. No, that would be a disaster. And so let me make sure that you know that my position is clear and how our our own opinion on this program is different than some of the neoconservative orthodoxy of some of the Republicans. You are going to see paraded on television over the next couple days. Ending the war in Afghanistan was the right move that Donald Trump had. How you end it is very important. If you find out that you have a tumor, you don't take out a pocket knife and just start removing it. How you do something is very important. But now many Republicans and people that are part of the war industry want to reinvade Afghanistan and stay there permanently. That would be a mistake on top of a mistake on top of a mistake. And to kind of further the analogy, how you do something matters. If you have to do heart surgery and you don't do it right, you kill the host. If you do not do it exactly correctly and do it right. Well, Leon Panetta went on television on CNN and said, look, we're gonna have to go back into Afghanistan to get isis. We're gonna have to go back in to get Al Qaeda. We can't leave the battlefield, but we can leave the battlefield. We can't leave the war on terrorism. Now, one of the reasons why the war on terrorism is such a threat against America is because of our foolish immigration policies. We let in way too many people into our country, including on traveler visas. If we had a stricter regulation on the flow of people into our country, it wouldn't matter as much. But Leon Panetta is part of the globalist project, and open borders is part of that entire kind of worldview. So therefore, you need a neoconservative foreign policy perspective to justify the open borders and vice versa with an internationalist global trade cut.
