Wilt Chamberlain does a great job. My friend Jeff Webb amongst many others from a pro American intellectual perspective that I think is really missing on the landscape right now. So congratulations, Jack. What makes the current ruling class in America different? My other very good friend who also does a Great job@breitbart.com has a new book out called Breaking the News. Alex Marlowe, he filled in for us last week. I encourage all of you to check out that book, Breaking the News. Alex Marlowe has been teasing this for months, saying that there is a new George Soros, saying that there's a new person on the scene that is spending just massive sums of money, almost unfathomable amounts of money to try and remake America in the image that they so desire. I've been trying to get it out of Alex for months of who this person is, but he was very disciplined. I got to give Alex credit. He said, nope, I am not going to tell you who this person is now. He kind of gave it away. And I guessed incorrectly. I gave half of a good I was close because he said at some point, he said, well, he or she. So I called him up privately after the interview. I said, Alex, you would only say he or she if it was in fact a woman. And he said, oh, you're very smart. Said no, just observant. It's a difference. And so I guessed incorrectly, it was Alice Walton. But the new George Soros, according to Alex Marlowe and the facts speak for themselves. It's rather amazing is I think she pronounces her name Laureen or Lauren Powell Jobs. So what did Lauren or Laureen Powell Jobs do to be worth $19 billion? Worth $19 billion. Has spent money and owns the Atlantic magazine, owns Axios, owns Major Investor, and now this seven figure contributor to Democrat causes. All up and down the the spec the liberal Democrat spectrum. She helped found the Emerson Collective, which is a dark money group which is always used as a term to attack conservatives. Where did she make her money? Did she build the railroads of our country? Did she modernize the way that we transport goods and services? Did she come up with some form of a new way to communicate? Was she a talented songwriter, a musician? Nope. She married. Well, she of course married Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs passed away and she is the heiress of Steve Jobs Fortune. She owns 7% of the Walt Disney Company. Yes, that Walt Disney Company that is teaching your children that transgenderism is the norm and the most divisive racial political beliefs you can imagine. She owns, I think, 7.3% of Walt Disney, which is a massive amount, not to mention all the Apple stock as well. So she didn't make her money the way that typical industrialists in America would have made their money. This is unearned wealth. I think that's a very dangerous thing when you have someone that has massive amounts of unearned wealth. Unearned, massive sums of money make the perfect social activists. Earn is my favorite word in the English language. I got this from my friend Dennis Prager. It's a uniquely English word and it's an American value. It's not that you. Embedded in the word earn is this idea that you woke up earlier than somebody else. You prove to some other person through voluntary association that you should be given the wage, you should be given the bonus. There's a fulfillment to earned success. But on the opposite, when something is unearned, there's almost a feeling that starts to set in. Guilt. I just gave a speech in the Villages and it will soon be on our podcast. I encourage you all to check it out where I believe that Americans and ability to deal with guilt is one of the major reasons we are seeing the politics. We are seeing money they did not earn. Feeling guilty just simply because of the color of their skin. If you are not able to process who you are and why you do what you do and explain yourself in a reasonable way, a rational way, and you were always driven by guilt, which, by the way, is not a Christian value. You should not feel any form of guilt if you have actually sought reconciliation and redemption. Guilt is a major driver of our politics today. Go give a contribution because your existence is something that warrants it. So Laureen Powell Jobs, or Lauren whatever, however she pronounces her name, she is now, according to Alex MARLOWE, editor of Breitbart.com the new George Soros, pumping millions and millions of dollars towards social leftist activist causes. And so I want to be very clear, she does not want to destroy America. She wants it to be hers. And it's not just her. There is an entire network of Jeff Bezos to Zuckerberg of these oligarchs that are pumping in billions of dollars. Mark Zuckerberg put $400 million through the center for Technology and Civic Life into this last election. $400 million. Jeff Bezos with his play money, owns the Washington Post, which propagandizes you and your children through Apple News. Thank you. Laureen Powell Jobs. So what you have here is a technology ecosystem that has been built through businesses of largely unearned wealth. Now, some could say that Jeff Bezos earned his wealth. I think that's probably somewhat true. Do I think that he gamed the U.S. postal Service? Yes. Do I think that he misleads the type of company he is? He's just a server company that loses money intentionally to take over other small businesses. But I think there's something fundamentally different about making massive sums of money in this new technology era and the ways that people made money in the early 1900s, 1950s, and 1980s. You see, technology has led to fast, immediate wealth creation, where you have these bitcoin billionaires overnight, and it's earned so quickly and so exorbitantly that the excesses is a problem that have never been quite confronted before by America's ruling class. And then so you have this uninterrupted spigot of cash and people that don't know how to deal with it and a weighing form of guilt. And instead of deploying that capital towards the betterment of the country, they instead have to wrestle with their guilt. They have to pay the penance. They have to instead almost in a way, go through a selling of the indulgences I will give to BLM Incorporated. I will buy the Atlantic, as long as you stop calling me bad names. And what I want to explore with you is, why are these oligarchs acting this way? And have we ever had a ruling class this rich before in America? The answer is yes, but they acted much different. Look, by now, you've all heard me talk about MyPillow and how Mike has done it again by introducing his My slippers. Mike Lindell, he's got a lot of ambition. He's a patriot. He loves his country. A lot of people like Mike Lindell. In fact, I get emails from people, they say, charlie, how can I help you? How can I help Mike Lindell? How can I help the country?

Kirk Andrew Carnegie is one of the most amazing men ever to live. He is considered a robber baron by historians. And there's probably some truth that the oligarchs, I don't even want to call them that, let's call them the titans of industry in the early 1900s probably had somewhat of a monopolistic control in certain industries. There are certain books that push back against that. But I think that there was a growing anti capitalist fervor in the early 1900s and Teddy Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan played into it. And one of the reasons why America never actually had a successful communist revolution the way that other continents did was because Teddy Roosevelt was able to transition the American working class from the farms to the factories with some sort of an agreed upon principle that the American promise and American way of life will be protected. The Russian Romanov dynasty made no such efforts and they were overthrown by Vladimir Lenin, Woodrow Wilson, probably America's worst president besides Lyndon Baines Johnson and our current one right now, and Barack Hussein Obama. He was a disaster in a variety of different ways. And we explored yesterday the 17th amendment and its impact on our country. But Andrew Carnegie was one of the wealthiest men ever to live. He was from Scotland. So I'm obviously very biased towards Andrew Carnegie. He was an unbelievable entrepreneur. He was able to create what is now known as US Steel. JP Morgan bought US Steel from which was at the time Carnegie Steel. The U.S. steel it became the U.S. steel Corporation was Pittsburgh Steel, Carnegie Steel and he sold it to him for $300 million, which is, let's just say that was a lot of money. It's a lot of money now and that was an extraordinary amount of money back then. So Andrew Carnegie was different than Lauren Powell jobs in the sense that he actually made his money. He pulled himself up from absolute poverty growing up in Scotland. But let's say what was the difference between Andrew Carnegie and Lauren Powell jobs? Well, despite the fact that Andrew Carnegie earned his success, Andrew Carnegie was a committed defender of Western civilization. Every dollar that Andrew Carnegie gave back to America was about strengthening the American idea, a republic. And he gave very generously. In Scotland as well you might know the Carnegie Institute for Science or the Carnegie Trust of Universities of Scotland or the CAR maybe. How about Carnegie Mellon University? Again, some people call it Carnegie, it's really Carnegie, but That's a different conversation for a different time. Andrew Mellon, another industrialist, he gave so generously, he started what is now known as the University of Pittsburgh. And so you look at America's ruling class in the early 1900s who had wealth beyond the comprehension of the time. This was during the, during the massive Industrial revolution. And make no mistake, we're living through a similar economic revolution right now of the technological revolution. And I think that it was a lot harder to build a railroad and to create steel than it is to create some sort of application where you trade bitcoin. And it certainly was harder for Andrew Carnegie and Andrew Mellon to create their billions than Lauren Powell Jobs to inherit it. Andrew Carnegie famously wrote an article, the Gospel of Wealth, where he talked about that people that are rich have a moral obligation to, to preserve the nation and the home of which they were able to make their money. And so what is the check and balance against the current class of oligarchs? You know, I wouldn't be complaining about Lauren Powell Jobs, who is now called the new George Soros, if she didn't spend her money buying the Atlantic. Do you remember the Atlantic? The Atlantic, back in September they published the fakest of fake stories written by Jeffrey Goldberg that said Trump called the troops and soldiers suckers and losers. And even John Bolton himself said that that was a lie. The Atlantic, who just writes some of the most radical anti American opinion pieces one can find. Not to mention Lauren Powell Jobs founded the Emerson Collective. So while she's, she's focused on social transformation, she's focused on political domination. She should just take a pause. And this goes for Bezos, and this goes for Zuckerberg, and this goes for all of them. Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the ruling class of America's past. They built hospitals, libraries and schools that taught real science. The ruling class of America today are teaching that two plus two equals five. That's actually what Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is teaching. And what I think we need, a robust, people driven movement, is to all of a sudden challenge and call out the ruling class billionaires in our country and say, you made all of your money. Well, Lauren Powell Jobs made none of her money. She inherited it. But those of you that did, where is your social responsibility for protecting this beautiful gift we have been given? And if you want, if you don't have that social responsibility, then there must be dramatic action taken against you. One of the reasons we're in the place that we are in is the people that have benefited so much from the American promise, from Our Republic are now actively involved in deconstructing it. Now, the answer to that, the why, is one that perplexes me. But I think part of it has to do with how the money is actually earned in the technology space. There's plenty of people that are obviously not totally within this judgment that I'm making. But generally in the technology space, the money comes quicker, faster, and I don't want to say necessarily easier, but differently than how wealth was created 40 or 50 years ago. It's a different, it's an ability to make $100 billion in a way that would be incomprehensible 30 or 40 years ago. And so the way that our economic structure as a country worked back in the 1980s is you built companies and you held those companies and you wanted to have that value created over time. And you never wanted to engage in any sort of political movements that would possibly endanger your manufacturing plant, your restaurant, your real estate company and technology. Instead, the incentive structure, which is why I actually think our economy is largely built on a house of cards right now, is let's try to inflate the amount of users value as quick as possible and sell, liquidate and get out. And these basically are data surveillance companies. And because of that there is this quick rise, quick exit, pile of cash problem. And then you also have this sense of guilt and boredom that sets in to America's richest. And I'm talking about people like Laureen Powell jobs, I'm talking about people that have such a incomprehensible amounts of wealth, we're talking about tens of billions of dollars. And instead of deploying those resources towards something that actually might strengthen the fabric or the culture, the history of the United States, they do the exact opposite. They become social activists. And I really do believe that if you have not labored for decades in the actual practice of building a business in our country outside of the technology space, then what exactly would you want to conserve? You might actually think that you have, you have, you are, you are so self important, you have all the answers that only if you, Jeff Bezos, were in control, all of America's problems would disappear. And so in Federalist 51 we explored that together this week the Founding fathers asked the. They were articulating that in this new constitution that was being proposed that there would be a check and balance. What the founders were really saying is that power should not go unchecked, is that when power is centralized, generally it will get abused. Of course, there's the old phrase that gets quoted very Often people don't even know who said it. Lord Acton said absolute power corrupts absolutely. And that is absolutely true. And so the founding fathers in Federalist 51 talked at length trying to tell people that one of the reasons that our system is going to be different is that you'll be able to have a check for every point of power and that will balance it. The one year Roman Council, Cicero talked about this and actually many of the ideas of our current system were borrowed from Cicero. This idea of a Republican government, not Republican party, but a republic. And then the great French judge Montesquieu, we, we borrowed a lot from him as well. What I think the founding fathers were saying, and this takes a more honest reading of colonial literature, is that they detested power and government was the, they detested power that could be abused. And the government was the greatest and most immediate form of that power that they could imagine. But let me ask you a question. What about this form of corporate oligarch power? What is the check and balance right now against a ruling class that runs our companies, funds our media institutions, controls. The entire narrative has combined net worth of trillions of dollars. What is our check and balance against them? This is something the conservative movement has really been afraid of talking about because we just kind of go into this default position. Markets are going to solve it. I love markets, I'm a capitalist, I love entrepreneurs. But I'm not necessarily convinced that repeating the same talking point on the bumper sticker is going to solve the threat of our freedoms that we are seeing that the founding fathers said we are going to design a system of government that to prevent your freedoms and liberties from being infringed upon. Well now we have multi hundreds of billions of dollars of capital being deployed by the new George Soros. Lauren Powell Jobs, who's a tech heiress, she didn't create anything in her life. Of course she went to University of Pennsylvania and Harvard. University of Pennsylvania. University of Pennsylvania of course, founded by Benjamin Franklin. So now Lauren Powell Jobs, who got educated by institution founded by Benjamin Franklin, is now funding millions of dollars to destroy the history of Ben Franklin in our country. Let me give you an example of the type of thing that she's funding. And again this is all because of Alex Marlowe, editor in chief of Breitbart.com who did the research to show that she is the new George Soros. Something that we have been teasing on this show for quite some time. So she funds this pile of garbage site called now this. Well, if you're under the age of 30 and you're watching on YouTube, rumble or Facebook, hopefully you're watching on rumble. R u m b l e dot com it is going to grow. Take my word at that as a YouTube competitor. You know what? Now this is now this has been a non stop propaganda campaign of short, very, let's say, attractive videos that are tailored strictly and solely to catch the attention of younger listeners, younger viewers. And now this came out with this video trying to go against Donald Trump in, let's say, 2016. It's cut 80 now. So this was now this saying that Donald Trump's claim that Bill Clinton signed NAFTA is false. And for those of us that are trying to poke ourselves that we're not living in some sort of Orwellian memory hole, we know that Bill Clinton signed nafta. Let me give you an example of the type of garbage the ruling class is funding. Placot89 Remember, it was Bill Clinton who signed NAFTA. NAFTA was signed by Bill Clinton. It was Bill Clinton who signed nafta. NAFTA again signed by Bill Clinton. But here's the clip of Bill Clinton actually signing NAFTA. Cut 90. Again, this is the type of media company that the richest people in the country are funding. They're not funding libraries, are not funding things that actually improve the fabric of our nation. No, they're funding media companies that deceive you and deceive your children. Cut 90. Thank you. Thank you very much. I'd also like to welcome here the representatives from Mexico and Canada and tell them they are in fact welcome here. They are our partners in the future that we are trying to make together. After World War I, we turned inward, building walls of protectionism around our nation. The result was a Great Depression and ultimately another horrible world war. You can't see it. It's literally Bill Clinton with a pen signing nafta. Now at a different podcast or a different time. Producer Connor, make a note of this. I will dispel the myth the Smoot Hawley Tariff caused the Great Depression. Not today, but I will, because that is one of the greatest myths ever pulled on the American population. And it prevents us from actually having an honest conversation about American based manufacturing, self sufficiency and making things that actually strengthen the fabric and the ethos of America. So according to America's ruling class that we just have to sit down and obey the fact that Vitamin C, Tylenol, Advil, personal protection equipment are all made in mainland China and in Wuhan. I refuse to accept the premise, but that's just one example of what America's ruling class Lauren Powell Jobs, is funding. And if you want to see for yourself, go to the Atlantic. Go to Atlantic Doc. I think it's Atlantic.com. you'll see the types of articles. I mean, the Washington Post, funded by Jeff Bezos. So basically, I mean, I would much rather these people be. I would much rather Jeff bezos go buy 10 more $500 million yachts than go fund the Washington Post or the Atlantic. At least there's some utility in those things. Pleasure and leisure. Instead, they are actively involved. Their leisure capital, if you will, is almost to play a chess game with the American experiment. And so this, this begs a broader question, something conservatives should be talking about more often. We're just afraid to talk about it, which is social responsibility. You see, we have allowed the left to be the only people that talk about social responsibility. They talk about it with the environment, they talk about with racial politics. They talk about it with women's issues. What about a social responsibility to your nation? What is about a social responsibility to not always be engaging and indulging in this historicist lie that everything must be constantly changing and the ultimate thing we must be focused on is progress for progress sake. What about preservation? You know, this is actually kind of. I chuckle because the Bernie Sanders people, I think a lot of them can become conservatives very soon. Not on social issues, but when they talk about, hey, we need to conserve this national park, I laugh. I say, wait a second. So you're not always into changing things all the time. So you actually want certain things to remain the way they are. Like, why wouldn't you want the American family to remain the way they are? Why wouldn't you want American manufacturing? So let me get this straight, that you want to change everything except nature? I can kind of sympathize with not changing nature. I love nature, obviously. But I actually think there's some philosophical agreement here that maybe the idol of perpetual progress is actually a place of unfulfilling, soulless alienation. Maybe human beings are not hardwired with uprooting everything around us all the time and constantly in a state of disruption, maybe we will be a more joyful and satisfied nation. And if we care about things that matter and that are eternal. That's why I actually think some people on the left are, deep down, they're much more conservative than they actually realize. Not the leaders, but the people that are following in their ranks. And so as we talk about this issue of social responsibility, I guess it begs the Question. Conservatives need to be more vocal on this. And I'll be very honest, I don't know the piece of legislation that needs to be introduced. But as long as we have rich people like Lauren Powell Jobs and Jeff Bezos, I no longer believe that conservatives should make overtures to cut their taxes and pander to their needs. What needs? Wants and desires. They should be treated as what they are. Which is opponents of our beautiful republic. Look, now more than ever, it's important to support companies that are brave enough to stand up for the values we need to be fighting for. Takes a lot of guts. In the midst of cancel culture to risk your business. One company keeps coming forward with meaningful messaging in support of core American values. And that's Egg Guard. It's Eggerd Watches. You need to go check out their story. They made a powerful video humanizing police during the defund movement. Oh, and by the way, they design unbelievably beautiful and affordable watches from Switzerland. They're gorgeous. I love Switzerland. It's one of the companies I'm so happy to promote in our program. If you aren't currently looking for a watch or accessories, then still go to their site and watch the short conservative films. The CEO Elon was awarded the Fox Patriot Courage Award specifically to celebrate his very public effort to show support for American police officers. Elon gave us a great discount of 15% off to share with you by using the code Kirk at checkout. So that's Egg Guard watches dot com. Check them out and remember to apply the promo code to your order right there. Eggard Watches. Check them out. They love their country. Do it now. So what is a cartel? A cartel is a coalition of cooperative agreement between political parties intended to promote a mutual interest. We call the drug traffickers a cartel often. And I could tell you that the people that are educating your children, the American Federation of Teachers and the National Education association, they are a cartel. And so as I have been going on about Lauren Powell Jobs, the new George Soros, the tech heiress who has never worked a day in her life and instead inherited all this money from her now deceased husband's. Good idea to have us all addicted to smooth screens so we can a dopamine rush and have a digital pacifier in our right hand pocket. Somehow we should give her unrestricted access to remake our country which is so fundamentally anti American. Also, the people that are running our country alongside Lauren Powell Jobs and Jeff Bezos are the people running our public sector teacher union. So people say, Charlie, what do we do at this Moment. Well, I can tell you this, cut 76 is one of my favorite, most delicious pieces of clip I have ever seen, which is a woman that I consider to be one of the most self righteous, twisted, morally questionable people ever to get into a position of leadership. And she runs the American Federation of Teachers and she professionally gets paid to keep your children miseducated, uneducated schools closed, kids wearing masks, good teachers not making more money, bad teachers getting subsidized. The teacher unions are a cartel and it's only going to change when they get, dare I say, chewed out live on air. So Randy Weitgarten goes on C Span. God bless C Span. I'm actually a C Span fan. I actually think they're pretty. They really do a good job of being fair, I have to say. They just show it how it is. So they have this thing where you can have an open line. So people started calling in and they just said, you know what, Randy White Garden, I'm not going to take this oligarchy that you are punishing our children with. Cut 76. Ms. Weingarten, I'd like to ask you why you think a pandemic is a reason to reimagine our education basics would be nice. The public schools have failed these children before on the education basis, let alone all this social re education. The part that I don't understand is how come the parochial schools and the private schools could navigate their way through this scenario, but the public schools didn't seem to be able to manage. And that's just a little taste of Randy Whitegarten getting really direct questions from parents across the country. And this is how it's going to change. And this is why they're executing their top down revolution, or as we call it, the slow motion revolution of people that have the mega yachts, the jets, the billions of dollars. They are preemptively striking normal middle class people because they're afraid that we are going to rise up and we are going to say, you are not going to dominate our society any longer. And so there, there is a new conservative movement forming in real time and I'm very pleased to see it. It's going to take people rising up. The new conservative movement is going to be one that is going to be one that's unafraid to say that it's not a healthy, sustainable thing for our country to have people like Lauren Powell Jones and George Soros and the Rockefeller foundation and the Ford foundation have this much influence and power and not acting in the benefit of the needs, wants or concerns of the rest of the country. And I am proud to say that this new conservative movement being articulated wonderfully by people like Tucker Carlson and others, has the support of the American people.
