This is so much bigger than Donald Trump. This is so much bigger. than won presidents. This is about the presidency.

How an obscure legal theory shaped the immunity decision and Trump's second term
And I got him on the second list and I did it by basically beat down every candidate. door I could to make sure he was put on that list and then make sure he was picked and make sure he was confirmed and set up.

How an obscure legal theory shaped the immunity decision and Trump's second term
We can't have a president of the United States worried that what he does as the president of the United States in his official capacity is going to end up having him indicted and thrown in prison by his successor. That would destroy the presidency and therefore destroy our country.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
I would say this. I think that we get frustrated every year that the reptiles won't drain the swamp. The political branches won't drain their own swamp. And I would say this, that we need to keep pushing them, and hopefully this gets better under a Trump administration. But at the Article III project, we understand that our 20-year goal is
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
is to have the federal judiciary federal judges drain the swamp by looking at the constitution and saying i don't see for example this particular federal agency named in the constitution so why the hell is does this agency exist and that's uh i think that's the the play over a 20-year period to dismantle the federal government through federal judges are plumbers so uh
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
Well, I think what has to happen is you need to have your audience, and maybe we can team up on this, is just light up their elected members of the House and Senate and hold them accountable every step of the way during the appropriations process. Because these politicians in D.C. are always going to go – with the lobbyist and the special interest in D.C.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
unless and until they hear from their constituents back home. We did this with Kataji Brown, Jackson's confirmation to the Supreme Court. She almost got 10 Republican votes and ended up where she got three and they ran out of town. We're doing this now with these cabinet picks, with Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth. They said they were dead on arrival. And then three days later after we got...
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
Americans to call their home state senators and light them up. They went from dead on arrival to when can we start? We need to do that same grassroots movements on government spending, every step of the appropriations process to hold these politicians accountable and then make them understand if you go with the D.C. politicians, if you go with the D.C.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
lobbyists, the special interest, instead of your constituents back home, we're going to make your lives hell.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
Well, Juan Bershon seems to think he can just disregard the Supreme Court's monumental presidential immunity decision back in June, where the Supreme Court correctly held that the president, any president, is immune from criminal prosecution for their official acts, not their personal misconduct, their official acts. And part of that ruling was very clear.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
Not only can you not charge a president for his official acts, you can't take evidence from his presidency. You cannot have evidence come in, for example, of Deputy Chief of Staff Hope Hicks or Deputy Chief of Staff Madeline, I can't remember her last name, where Alvin Bragg and this Judge Vaughn Mershon allowed in this testimony over Trump's objection. And now they're saying, oh, that evidence is
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
didn't really matter, is cumulative, it was harmless. That's nonsense. This Judge Juan Merchan directly violated the Supreme Court's presidential immunity decision. He's going to get reversed on appeal, no question. This case needs to be kicked because of mistrial. And I would say this, This judge is corrupt. He's clearly corrupt.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
His adult daughter, Lauren Michon, is a Democrat consultant and fundraiser. She's making money off of this case. Judge Michon should have recused from this case, and he's corruptly moving forward and not recusing, even though a former... Clinton judge went on Caitlin Collins's show on CNN on April 5th and said he had to he had to recuse under New York statute. This this guy is corrupt.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
He must be held accountable by the Trump 47 Justice Department.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
That's the problem, Charlie, is that they want this sword of Damocles over President Trump's head for the entire four years of his second term. So, for example, maybe he wants to cut funding for illegal immigrants in New York City. And so what does Alvin Bragg do? What does Judge Juan Merchan do?
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
Then they drop this sword on Trump's head and cut off his head and say that he's going to go to sentence. This is going to create a constitutional crisis. You can't have a president of the United States held hostage by a corrupt prosecutor and a corrupt judge. There's no question that the Supreme Court of the United States is going to step in and stop this.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
And I would urge Trump's team to move forward very quickly.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
Well, I think they understand that they couldn't go arrest. They couldn't go arrest him while he's president and put him in Rikers Island. I hope they're not crazy enough to try to do that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
Well, I mean, you might have a shootout with the Secret Service if they tried to do that because it's clearly illegal if they tried to do that. But I would say this. Do you want President Trump worried his entire four-year term that he has to be a good boy in Alvin Bragg's mind and Juan Merchant's mind otherwise? He could face Rikers Island at the end of his presidency.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
That's not how our system works. I think that even John Roberts, who wrote a very good decision with the presidential immunity decision, understands this is so much bigger than Donald Trump or any one president. This is about the presidency. And you can't have corrupt local prosecutors hijacking the presidency with the threat of putting a president in prison.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
I would say the clearest... Federal crime is 18 USC section 241 conspiracy against rights. When you politicize and weaponize intel agencies and law enforcement at every level, federal, state, local to go after your political enemies. for non-crimes. That is the very definition of a criminal conspiracy against rights.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
And what I would strongly urge the Trump 47 Justice Department to do is open a criminal probe in Fort Pierce, Florida, where they did the Mar-a-Lago raid, have a special grand jury come in and do this investigation, do this grand jury investigation. And if there is probable cause that these Democrats, lawyers,
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
and prosecutors and agents and operatives and even judges like Juan Merchan worked together to violate the constitutional rights of President Trump or his top aides like Steve Bannon and Peter DeVoro, who went to prison or his supporters on January 6th, who were politically persecuted, according to the Supreme Court's Fisher decision in June.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
I think that there needs to be an indictment brought, and I would recommend that indictment brought be brought in Fort Pierce, Florida for conspiracy against rights? And if they've done nothing wrong, why are they seeking preemptive pardons now. And if a grand jury indicts, that means there's obviously probable cause they've committed a crime and nobody's above the law.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
So they should probably lawyer up. Those are all the things that they told our side during the four years of Biden's lawfare against President Trump for non-crimes. I think that we need to bring justice and accountability for real crimes so this never happens again.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
I believe so, Charlie. And it was also one of the charges that Jack Smith brought against President Trump with one of his four charges in the D.C. January 6th case for the non-crime of objecting to a presidential election. So Jack Smith And Jay Brat and the rest of the Jack Smith's special counsel team is very, very well aware of 18 U.S.C. Section 241.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
And frankly, it sounds like they may have participated in their own conspiracy against rights when they politicized and weaponized our federal intel agencies and law enforcement to go after Trump. His top aides, his supporters. It sounds like a very serious federal civil rights felony. I think it's up to 10 years in prison under 18 USC Section 241. And so, you know, I'd be worried if I were them.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
By President Trump to lead the Justice Department. She was an attorney general of Florida for eight years. She's going to bring an outsider perspective, a reform perspective to the Justice Department. Todd Blanch is the pick to be Deputy Attorney General. He was a longtime federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, a big firm lawyer.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
who gave up his big firm practice to go represent Trump during this lawfare. So this guy has bled for President Trump. So has Emil Bove, his deputy. John Sauer is going to be the Solicitor General. John Sauer was President Trump's attorney who won a monumental...
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
case in the Supreme Court, the presidential immunity case, and was really the intellectual force behind President Trump winning this lawfare through the legal effort. He's going to be a great solicitor general. And then you also have to look at, Charlie, the key offices, the key offices to make sure that this lawfare never happens again. You have Kash Patel,
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
at the FBI, a former federal defender, a former national security attorney. He worked for the Obama Justice Department, got awards. He worked on the House Intel Committee as a senior lawyer, Office of National Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Cash was a deputy. He was the chief of staff at the Pentagon. He worked at the NSC.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
He's going to go into the FBI and bring serious reforms to the FBI. And then we need someone very good to serve as the U.S. attorney in D.C. Get rid of Matthew Graves, this left-wing hack who has politicized and weaponized that entire office to go after people who trespassed and took selfies on January 6th while he gives amnesty to the much more deadly and destructive BLM and Antifa rioters.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
President Trump ran on this lawfare, ran on this election interference. He won in a landslide. He has a mandate for serious reforms to the intel agencies and the Justice Department. And so I would say to these people who ran this lawfare against Trump, lawyer up because justice is coming.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
Yeah, so the president, as the head of the executive branch, has the constitutional authority to hire and fire any executive branch employee he wants, including the FBI director, including U.S. attorneys. President Trump, through his attorney general, can appoint interim or acting U.S. attorneys while The president's nominees are going through the process for back in the states.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
The home state senators have a veto through this stupid thing called the blue slip that we've had for over 100 years. But in D.C., there aren't senators. And so the president should nominate someone who he wants and the Senate should confirm that person quickly so we can clean out the rat's nest called the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
So Emil Bove will be the principal deputy associate or excuse me, the principal associate deputy attorney general. He's the number two to the number two. He'll go in and he'll serve the functions of the of the deputy attorney general. And he'll be the acting essentially the acting attorney general on day one.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
Well, I was communicating with Elon last night. Elon and Vivek and I are on a text chain together, and I was explaining to them the background of this. They understand the situation. They said, it's not directed to you, Mr. Speaker, but we don't like the spending. I said, guess what, fellas? I don't either. We got to get this done because here's the key.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
By doing this, we are clearing the decks and we are setting up for Trump to come in roaring back with the America First agenda. And all of our fiscal conservative friends, I'm one of them, will be able to finally do the things that we have been wanting to do for the last couple of years. Right now, Democrats still control Pence. And that's the problem.
The Charlie Kirk Show
What's a "CR," and Why is This One So Bad?
So we've got to get this thing done so we don't have the shutdown. So we get the short term funding measure and we get to March where we can put our fingerprints on the spending. That's when the big changes start and we can't wait to get there.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
Both. But I'll say this, that these cases should be nine to nothing. They are so clear cut. They're so easy. If this were President Biden, there's no question these Democrat operatives in robes on the Supreme Court would be voting for Biden. But because it's Trump, they're not. Again, this should be nine to nothing. And Justice Barrett is a rattled ball professor with her head up her
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
which is not surprising, but these are easy cases. Does the president have the executive power under Article II or not? It's very clear in the Constitution that the executive power, all executive power belongs to the president and the president alone. That means he can repel an invasion. He can secure our border. He can fire executive branch employees. And look, there's recourse.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
If these executive branch employees get fired, their recourse is to go to the Merit System Protection Board. If a contractor gets fired, their recourse is to go to the Court of Federal Claims under the Jones Act. It is not to go to a Democrat activist judge
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
and get a so-called temporary restraining order with a nationwide injunction that essentially sets policy that takes over the president's executive powers and takes over Congress's legislative powers. The judges are not supposed to operate that. They're supposed to be the least dangerous branch.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
They have a modest but crucial rule, and that is to decide cases or controversies for the parties in front of them who have redressable claims. Nothing more, nothing less.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
Well, fortunately, I don't have a magic wand. I have Senator Mike Lee and Chuck Grassley and John Thune and their staffs, and I'm working very closely with them on these pieces of legislation along with House members. So, look, when the federal judiciary loses its legitimacy, It loses everything.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
And I sent pretty public warnings to the Chief Justice that if you don't get your judicial house in order, Congress is going to do it for you. And I think the Chief Justice got the message, as we've seen with the last four Supreme Court rulings. And look, we don't even need a legislative fix. If the Supreme Court would just rein in these activist judges, we would be fine.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
If the Supreme Court would just say that under Article III of our Constitution, Judges can only decide cases or controversies with the parties before the court who have redressable claims. They can't do nationwide injunctions. That's the Article III judicial power. And if they would just do that, we would not have to reform these courts. But until then...
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
What I think needs to happen, and I'm working very closely with the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Judiciary Committee on this, along with leadership, is aggressive oversight, impeachment probes for people like Jeb Boasberg, who egregiously violate the law and put American allied lives in danger, cutting $2 billion in the federal judiciary's $10 billion annual budget because Judge Ali let $2 billion go out the door to fund his Hamas terrorist buddies and others who are killing Americans.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
Americans. We need to do reforms to the D.C. District Court. I think that we should eliminate the D.C. Superior Court, which I think is unconstitutional under the appointments clause because the president doesn't get to pick the judges he wants. And then the D.C. District Court can take the D.C. Superior Court's jurisdiction on street crimes and local D.C. disputes and then randomly draw
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
judges from around the country to handle all other national cases in D.C. because we have Obama and Biden radicals along with Republican wimps on the D.C. district court who are destroying our country, and it's unacceptable.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
And, Andrew, I think he raped a 16-year-old, too, in addition to this boy.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
Well, I think that number one, this murderer, this child rapist and murderer, this pedophile needs to be brutally executed in public to send a very powerful message that if you're going to harm kids, if you're going to rape kids and murder kids, we are going to viciously brutally execute you as a powerful deterrence and retribution.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
But I would also say this, to these cities, to these nonprofit organizations, it is a federal crime to harbor illegal aliens, right? And so keep doing what you're doing and see what comes from Pam Bondi and Todd Blanch and Kash Patel and the others in the Justice Department. You may end up being in prison for harboring these illegal immigrants.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
So very quickly, President Trump campaigned on the fact that he's going to hire Elon Musk, set up the Department of Government Efficiency, cut waste, fraud, and abuse, secure our border, and get illegal immigrants, particularly foreign terrorists, the hell out of our country. President Trump is doing the unthinkable.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
He's doing exactly what he promised American voters he would do, and he's doing it. Right. And he won a broad electoral mandate, 312 electoral votes, all seven swing states, the popular vote. He kept the House. He won a comfortable majority in the Senate and he is ready to lead on day one. So these activist plaintiffs are going to these activist judges and sabotaging the president.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
He's not stealing Congress's Article one legislative power. He's not stealing the Supreme Court's Article 3 judicial power. He's exercising core Article 2 executive power to take care that our laws are faithfully executed, to secure our country, to repel an invasion, to secure our border, to root out waste, fraud, and abuse. These activist judges...
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
have been sabotaging them, have been sabotaging President Trump for the last three months. And so the Supreme Court has finally put on its big boy pants and it is finally stopping this judicial sabotage. This is not judicial review by these activist judges. This is judicial sabotage.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
And so we saw where this started because the Chief Justice and Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the liberals and let Judge Ali... This guy in D.C.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
who just got confirmed in the lame duck session after Democrats won the White House, lost the White House and the Senate, Judge Ali, who brags he's the first Muslim, the first Arab judge in D.C., ordered President Trump to send out $2 billion in foreign aid over the president's national security review to make sure, for example, we're not funding Hamas terrorists who are killing Americans under the guise of Gaza humanitarian aid.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
The Supreme Court let Ali... They forced the president to send out those checks. That only emboldened these other activist judges. They used a legal technicality that it was a temporary restraining order, which it wasn't. But because it was a temporary restraining order, according to the chief justice and Barrett and the three libs, it was not immediately appealable.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
And that's where we saw this onslaught of lawfare by these Democrat activists for the last – And the Supreme Court is finally stopping this. They finally said that these TROs are not TROs. These are permanent injunctions. They're appealable.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
You finally have the Supreme Court stopping another activist judge in D.C., trying to sabotage an ongoing military operation to get terrorists out of our country. You're seeing what the Supreme Court today does.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
that these probationary employees who President Trump fired because they don't have tenure, 16,000 of them, an activist judge, said that Trump had to rehire, the Supreme Court stopped that. So you're finally seeing the Supreme Court feeling the political pressure and putting these activist judges in their place.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
No, I'm surprised. You know, she clerked for Justice Scalia. She has solid conservative credentials. I think that those home protests by the Democrats during the Dobbs decision rattled her. She's a rattled law professor. And, you know, sometimes law professors... They overthink things and they don't have good judgment, right?
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
I think it's, for example, with the TRO case where Professor Amy Coney Barrett thought she was grading a civil procedure exam and said, well, this Judge Ali called it a temporary restraining order, so therefore it's not immediately appealable. Any judgment, any judge... who had significant experience and good judgment, would never have been duped by that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
But Professor Amy Coney Barrett got duped by that. And I think that Professor Barrett has Justice Kagan with her claws in her. Justice Kagan, she's the North Korean handler for the Democrats. She's the one who tries to get her claws in these Republican justices. I've seen it firsthand. You know, the other justices tend to be smarter than this and understand they're getting played.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The SCOTUS Deportation Victory
But Professor Barrett, maybe she's a little bit more aloof and doesn't understand that she's getting played.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
You saw Justice Alito put out a powerful dissent when Judge Ali ordered the president to send two billion dollars out the door to to his Hamas terrorist friends and transgender mice research. Right. And it is we can't have these judges take over the president's powers, especially the dealing with commander-in-chief powers and foreign affairs powers. It is very dangerous.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
The judges are not equipped to do this. They are not equipped to write laws through nationwide injunctions, through TROs. The chief justice has to get his judicial house in order. And I promise the chief justice, if that does not happen, there's going to be a severe backlash, political backlash from Congress. It's going to go after your funding. It's going to go after your power.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
And it's going to go after impeachment.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
President Trump campaigned on the fact he's going to hire Elon Musk. He's going to set up the Department of Government Efficiency. And Doge is going to go after waste, fraud, and abuse in our federal government. And we've seen a lot, and it's just the tip of the iceberg. President Trump also campaigned on the fact that he's going to secure our border. borders.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
He's going to designate Tren de Aragua as a foreign terrorist organization, and he's going to get these terrorists the hell out of our country. And the American people like what they heard. And on November 5th, they gave President Trump a broad, decisive electoral mandate. 312 electoral votes, all seven swing states, the popular vote. We kept the House.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
President Trump won back the Senate with a comfortable margin. I'm glad the Senate finally understands they wouldn't have a majority for Republicans if it weren't for President Trump's decisive win on November 5th. And President Trump is doing the unthinkable in Washington. He's actually doing what he promised American voters he would do, and he's doing it fast.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
The first time he ran, he had never ran for office. He had never served in office. He made mistakes in his first term, even though it was an incredibly successful first term. A big mistake was personnel. He's not making those mistakes this time. He had four years in office. He had four years to reflect. He faced the Biden lawfare, the unprecedented Republican ending lawfare.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
He's ready to govern on day one. And the last line of Trump resistance is these activist judges. You have these Democrats, partisan plaintiffs and lawyers running to these Democrat activist judges, particularly Democrats. in Washington, D.C., and they are trying to sabotage the presidency. They're trying to sabotage President Trump because of policy and political disagreements.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
President Trump is not trying to steal Congress's legislative power under Article I. President Trump is not trying to steal Congress's the Supreme Court's judicial power under Article 3. The president is exercising core Article 2 executive powers under Article 2, and you have these activist judges sabotaging him.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
These are judicial saboteurs, and not only is it extremely lawless, it's getting very dangerous. You had a judge in D.C., a Canadian foreign citizen to this day, has a lifetime appointment on the bench, Judge Ali, The Biden administration bragged he's the first Muslim, he's the first Arab federal judge in D.C.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
Several weeks ago, this judge ordered the president to send out $2 billion in foreign aid over the president's national security review to make sure we're not funding Hamas terrorists to kill Americans under the guise of terrorism.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
humanitarian relief in Gaza, or we're not funding waste, fraud, and abuse like transgender mice research in Kazakhstan or whatever hell hole we were funding that research through USAID. The Supreme Court failed to stop this, Judge Ali. And two weeks later, you have this D.C. Obama judge, Jeb Boasberg, not only he held a Saturday hearing, last Saturday, and
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
two Saturdays ago, where he exposed an ongoing military law enforcement and intel operation, putting American allied lives in grave danger. He even ordered planes to turn around with Trendy Aragua, a foreign terrorist and MS-13 international gangbangers. This judge thought he could not only expose this military operation, but ordered the president to turn around planes.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
We saw in El Salvador that this president had a massive security footprint of military law enforcement and intel officials ready to accept these terrorists. We did not have that same footprint in America. How would Jeb Boasberg have known what we had in America for security? How would Jeb Boasberg have known the fuel on the plane?
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
Well, I would say this on several fronts, Charlie. I was the chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee. I had the oversight portfolio for the federal judiciary, right? And I know how these judges think, and I know how the chief justice thinks. I clerked on the Supreme Court and was around the chief justice, personally a pleasant guy, but he operates in a very political way.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
So it's time if these activist judges think want to take off their judicial robes and climb into the political arena and throw political punches like we saw with Judge Ali and Judge Boasberg, we need to throw political counter punches. And that means going after their jurisdiction, That means going after their funding. And yes, it means having impeachment as leverage. It's not a waste of time.
The Charlie Kirk Show

Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus. I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
Even if we don't have the votes in the Senate to remove them, it's the mere threat of impeachment. It's the mere sword of Damocles over their head. It's the scarlet letter these judges would have if they faced an impeachment inquiry. They don't want that. I know they don't want that. And so-
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
You use impeachment as the sword of Damocles over their heads to get them to understand that if they keep being activist judges, this is not judicial review what these judges are doing. This is judicial sabotage. It is a clear violation of the separation of powers. This is not judicial power they're exercising.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
They're trying to tell the president that he has to turn around planes during a military operation. Last time I checked, Jeb Boasberg is not a black trans woman. So I don't think Joe Biden would have hired him to be an air traffic controller. And he's certainly not the commander in chief who can order the president to stop in the middle of military operations and turn them around. And then.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
Doubling down on his danger, he's asking the Justice Department to come in and reveal these classified or highly secret military operations. Why would a foreign leader want to deal with a president of the United States on a high-risk operation like this, like this Salvadorian president doing?
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
just did, if the mission is going to get exposed publicly because an activist judge held a Saturday hearing, it puts American and allied lives in grave danger. And if those planes would have turned around, the Salvadorian president would have been waiting there with hundreds of government officials to accept these terrorists, and they didn't show up, that would have humiliated a foreign ally.

When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
It makes it less likely they'll do business with us. That undermines the president's power as the commander-in-chief, his power to conduct foreign affairs on behalf of the country. So I would say this directly to the Chief Justice, John Roberts. You need to get your judicial house in order. And if you don't, Congress is going to do it for you.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
I know that there is appetite to do this because I'm working with House and Senate leaders on this bill. And I'll tell you what. There will be 60 votes if we have a bill that works with people like Sheldon Whitehouse to bring ethics reform to the Supreme Court, which is long what Sheldon Whitehouse is doing.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
So this is very serious, and I hope the Chief Justice understands how serious this is when he lets his judicial saboteurs destroy the presidency.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
Yes, and I've done this very publicly with Judge Boasberg's lawless, dangerous order two Saturdays ago when he ran into court and said that the president had to turn around planes full of terrorists and bring them to America. And I don't say this lightly. I've never called for anyone to ignore injunctions. a judge's order.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
I've never called for an impeachment of a judge like this, and I've done both with Judge Boasberg because it is not only so lawless what he did, not only does he not have the jurisdiction to do what he did, he does not have the power to do what he did. It's very dangerous what he did. And if the president would have complied with that temporary restraining order and turned around.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
Those planes full of terrorists of the president would reveal these sensitive, confidential, classified military operation details to this judge. It is going to cause severe damage to our national security. and the president's ability to conduct foreign relations on behalf of America.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
Again, why would a foreign leader want to do business with the president if an activist judge in America is going to expose the military operation, cause the operation to cease, sabotage the military operation, and create... political and personal risk for the foreign leader.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
He had hundreds of officials awaiting these terrorists in El Salvador, and he's standing there looking stupid if we don't actually deliver these terrorists. If we don't follow through, this president is humiliated, and it puts him at risk because now these terrorists have made him and his family a target.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
This is so easy. There's an audience of one here, and it's the Chief Justice. The Chief Justice needs to get his judicial house in order, or Congress is going to do it for him. You are going to see a scenario where Boasberg, Boasberg the clown, this activist judge in D.C., is going to keep digging in, doubling down, and you're going to see the President of the United States have to ignore him.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
That's going to be his constitutional duty to ignore this lawless president dangerous order because it puts our national security at risk. It makes it hard for the president to conduct foreign affairs. And when that happens, the American people are going to be behind the president. And when the federal judiciary loses its legitimacy with the American people, it loses everything.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
It does not have an army. Judge Boasberg's law clerks are not going to be able to turn around planes. Even if he holds people in contempt, the president doesn't have to follow through on those contempt orders. He can pardon people in contempt. He cannot have the executive branch arrest people.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
This is the red line, and the chief justice needs to understand he needs to get his judicial house in order. They need to move forward in the house with impeachment inquiries. They need to cut funding. They need to change jurisdiction. Judges have a modest but crucial role. It is to decide cases or controversies for parties before the court with redressable claims. They That's it.
The Charlie Kirk Show
When Should Trump Say "No More" To the Courts?
They wear robes, not capes. It's not their job to set national policy. It's not their job to fly around the world and save terrorists. They have a more modest but crucial role, and that's Article III under our Constitution.

First of all, Kash Patel has got to get confirmed, and he will get confirmed if the American people need it. If you haven't had a chance to watch it, take a look at Kash Patel's Judiciary Committee hearing. It was six hours of pure Kash badassery, as I like to say.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Crusade to Cut Spending + My Super Bowl Reaction
I don't think I've ever seen a nominee with so many headwinds come out of his hearing so masterfully, looking so good in such good shape. They threw everything at him they had. And every single time, he proved up to the task. Every... FBI director I've questioned since I've been in the Senate has led me astray in one way or another on issues like FISA 702 and domestic surveillance.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Crusade to Cut Spending + My Super Bowl Reaction
Cash told the truth. That, by the way, is why the deep state doesn't like him. That, by the way, is why there has been so much opposition to Cash. But the truth is he's going to get confirmed this week. On Thursday, we're going to hold his vote in the Judiciary Committee. The Judiciary Committee has some procedures that are somewhat unique.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Crusade to Cut Spending + My Super Bowl Reaction
And those procedures can make it time consuming to get out of there. But we'll get him out of committee on Thursday. Once that happens, we'll rush him to the floor. And within a few days, probably early next week, he'll be sworn in as the FBI director. I'm confident of that.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Crusade to Cut Spending + My Super Bowl Reaction
Well, first of all, you're going to have somebody in there who is skeptical of government, which is exactly what we need in government generally and in that FBI in particular. So I think you're going to see a different approach taken toward FISA 702. I think you're going to see more strict procedures in place. I think you're going to have
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Crusade to Cut Spending + My Super Bowl Reaction
an FBI that is focused on investigating crime rather than investigating enemies of the sitting regime. And that's been one of the problems that we've had at this entity. As a former federal prosecutor myself, and Cash has the same distinction on that front, we can both see that the FBI is this long-revered institution whose reputation has sadly been tarnished

by people who have wanted to make the fbi much more about political espionage much more about gaining a political advantage for the deep state and for the democratic party that will be no more and i think you'll see changes right away that will reflect those things and this is one of the more important fights in front of us we never thought we'd be able to get
The Charlie Kirk Show

Certainly makes a person wonder. Look, we have those numbers that have been released about the sheer number of the very substantial percentage of the FBI's agents that were working on January 6th related matters. Now, What we don't know, what I haven't seen yet, is the extent to which those people were working entirely or mostly or predominantly significantly on January 6th cases.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Crusade to Cut Spending + My Super Bowl Reaction
To whatever degree you had most of those people doing most of their work on January 6th cases, that to me suggests that there were a lot of other things that went uninvestigated, crimes that went unsolved and unpunished and unproven in a court of law. But like I say, we don't have all those numbers.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Crusade to Cut Spending + My Super Bowl Reaction
It is significant that they spent as much time as they did, devoted as many members of their team as they did to this, given that it was one day reflecting one incident. There are lots of crimes going on in the United States at any given time. It does concern me that they put as many resources into this one as they did, just as they did put a lot of resources into looking at

The Crusade to Cut Spending + My Super Bowl Reaction
concerned parents who show up at school board meetings as if they have to be presumed as some sort of threat to our domestic national security.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Crusade to Cut Spending + My Super Bowl Reaction
This is also significant because much like Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard is someone who the deep state loathes. And the deep state has a sort of a sworn vengeance to retaliate against and to prevent from getting into positions like these ones. And yet Tulsi Gabbard, like Kash Patel, is about to get confirmed. And it couldn't happen a moment too soon. And this is not happening a moment too soon.

We need both of these people in those positions.
The Charlie Kirk Show

Look, in the Senate, a lot of what happens is kind of a race against the clock. The best way to move things forward is to exhaust those who are trying to slow the process down. And I think the longer the hours, the longer the weeks that we can work, even working through weekends when necessary, when the Democrats are dragging their feet, can help work wonders.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Crusade to Cut Spending + My Super Bowl Reaction
Nothing sharpens the mind and enhances the willingness of a recalcitrant senator, one who's hell-bent on on using the Senate rules to prolong the process needlessly. Nothing will sharpen the mind quite like saying, okay, you feel that strongly about it, you're going to stay up late nights. And for that matter, you're going to have to stay here through weekends in order to get this done.

For the very same reason that I think Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard are exceptionally well-suited to lead the FBI and to serve as the director of national intelligence. I'd love to see Ron Paul having the Federal Reserve. The reason is he's a longtime skeptic of that very institution.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Crusade to Cut Spending + My Super Bowl Reaction
He has seen and has been one who has commented early and often about the problems with the Federal Reserve, about how the Federal Reserve perpetuates the growth of big government, about how the Federal Reserve has slowly eaten away at the purchasing power of every paycheck that you have and the value of every dollar.
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Crusade to Cut Spending + My Super Bowl Reaction
the Federal Reserve through its so-called dual mandate, where it's supposed to at once look out to make sure that we control inflation and simultaneously maintain full employment. Those things are often at odds with each other, and so every single time it sort of leans into the second part of the mandate, into full employment, which results in more and more inflation. Look,
The Charlie Kirk Show
The Crusade to Cut Spending + My Super Bowl Reaction
Inflation is something that you can handle really well if you're rich. In fact, a lot of rich people get far richer during periods of inflation. It's America's hardworking, poor middle class who get screwed with all that. And that's one of the reasons why we need reformers. And I would love to see Ron Paul in a position like that one.
The Charlie Kirk Show

to come to one order saying, you can't deal with this, only the deep state folks can do it, only the sort of permanent personnel, as they like to think of themselves, may access this data that is necessary to do so much of what the Treasury Department does, then we've got a real problem.

Well, remember what President Trump did with this executive order on DEI is he repealed President Biden's day one executive order on DEI, where President Biden essentially ordered these executive branch agencies to promote this Marxist ideology called diversity, equity, and inclusion. And the problem, as you said, Megan, is DEI runs... directly contrary to our federal civil rights statutes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
It is illegal. It is a federal crime. It's a civil violation as well to discriminate based upon race, right, and sex. And so what you're seeing with DEI is that you have the federal government under Joe Biden intentionally discriminating, which is clearly –
The Megyn Kelly Show
RFK and Tulsi Coast Toward Confirmation, and Trump's Legal Fights Ahead, with Dave Aronberg, Mike Davis, and Sean Stone | Ep. 999
So President Trump's executive order is very carefully crafted, and it essentially tells his executive branch officials, like the director of the Office of Management and Budget, his director of personnel management, his attorney general to find these programs and eliminate these programs to the maximum extent that law allows, right? So he's not just waving a wand and making all DEI go away.

She took illegal kickbacks from this dumb, unqualified boyfriend, Nathan Wade, in the form of these lavish trips around the world. She told us all that she's a gray goose girl. She lied about it in court. She perjured herself. And somehow she survived that with the trial court because that Scott McAfee turned himself in.

into a pretzel to let her stay on the case, but kick off Nathan Wade from the case. The Georgia Court of Appeals did the right thing here by disqualifying Fannie Willis and thus disqualifying the entire office. This case is dead. I agree with Phil. It's not coming back. This is just another part of the Democrat lawfare issue. that backfired and backfired spectacularly.

And I would say to Fannie Willis, you better lawyer up, darling, because I imagine the Trump 47 Justice Department may be looking at federal felony charges against you for honest services fraud, maybe bribery. There are so many potential crimes that Fannie Willis could have committed. And as she likes to say, nobody's above the law.

Yeah, I would say this, number one, to Mike Roman, to Fannie Willis, you probably don't want to go after the best opposition researcher and lawyer in the Republican Party if your own house is not in order. So cheers to Mike Roman, to Ashley Merchant. What country do you want to go serve as the ambassador under the Trump 47 administration? I think you have to pick. Maybe Napa?

Oh, my Lord. This is like the clown car of DEI prosecutors going after President Trump. This blew up in their faces. And I hope and pray that they are on the receiving end of a federal criminal probe under 18 U.S.C. Section 241, conspiracy against rights, a very serious federal civil rights case.

Well, traditionally in these trade wars, the country that is running a big surplus is more vulnerable because their industry and their economy has been geared toward mercantilism. And that's true, especially of China.

The second thing is there's going to be a lot of opportunistic countries, Vietnam in particular, that are going to come to us and say, we can do what China is doing to you and we will give you a better deal. We'll have reciprocal tariffs with you. But If you go after China, we're here and they're gonna pop up. It's kind of like musical chairs. If the music goes off, everybody wants a chair.

Once he starts to do these deals, a lot of countries will say, if I don't cut a deal with them, I'll be the last one to get into the American market. And so China is vulnerable in that aspect. They also have 300,000 students here. We don't have hardly any there. They are buying hundreds of thousands of farmland in strategically located places.

The FBI, CIA has estimated that 1%, and that was very generous, of students and people from China on green cards are actively engaged in espionage. That could be 3,000 or 4,000 people. So my point is this, is that they see us as naive and as ripe for exploitation in 360-degree thinking. If Trump gets into a tiff with him, as he is now, he has all sorts— of levers.

He could say to China tomorrow, we're restricting the number of Chinese students that are coming to the United States by 100,000. They would go ballistic. And so would the universities who are using those and charging them 110% as a way of cash to subsidize a lot of the things they shouldn't be doing.

So he levers, he could say that tomorrow that the Chinese cannot buy land in the United States, especially farmland within a vicinity of a military base. He could really clamp down on patent, copyright theft, military exchanges. Some of our allies have exchanges with China, which they appropriate American technology. So they think that we are completely dependent on them.

The first thing they'll say is they would say, I talked to four or five people and they said, is it true that Mexico has 170 billion trades? That's not fair. Is it true that Canada has 101? Yes.

They don't want to have inordinate... They don't want to be the bully. They would either like zero tariffs or tit for tat. And if Trump can stick to that, he will not only get a lot of foreign investment and change of attitude, but he will get... The overwhelming support of the American people.

They know the whole thing. that they staged the whole Mar-a-Lago raid to get 100 files out of taking 13,000 of them.

And if Donald Trump had just said, you know what, I'm tired, I'm not going to run for office, or if he had not been the candidate, it would not have happened.

So there's been dramatic changes that there's no appreciation. And one last thing, I think workers understand that even if they don't buy stock in the company in which they work, the stock market is important. Donald Trump used to brag that he had raised it 60% his first time and people said, oh, the stock market, that's not a good barometer, workers' wages and unemployment.

The idea that Kamala Harris had closed the distance and she was three points ahead in Iowa and going to win that. And these all were these psychodramas that turned out to be not what they were. And finally, one last rant. They keep talking about tariffs, tariffs, tariffs, recession, depression. I can't think of a tariff that caused a major recession of depression. It didn't cause it in 2008.

Tariffs and Markets Perspective, Exclusive Info From Nashville Shooter's Journals, and American Held in Russia, with Victor Davis Hanson and Chris van Heerden | Ep. 1043
That was Wall Street. That was this reckless Wall Street hysteria that we're seeing now only channeled into subprime mortgage securitization in the market when there wasn't capital there that they said there was. The Smoot-Harley lack did not cause the Great Depression. We had a surplus at the time. It was unnecessary, yes. It was punitive, yes.

But it was two years after, when it fully was implemented, it was two years after what? Who caused the Great Depression? Buying on the margin and reckless Wall Street. So it's kind of ironic that Wall Street has a tendency to go bananas, speculate and hurt the rest of us. And now they're trying to cite Smoot-Harley that had nothing to do with the Depression. And they should look to themselves.

There is a whole pathology of people who are white claiming, like Elizabeth Warren, that they're 1 16th, 1 10th Native American Hispanic. That was my biggest problem.

This has nothing to do with oppression. There's no history of racism or culpability in many of these groups. They have a higher per capita income than whites do. 16 different ethnic groups do.

People were willing to say, because of the historic racism toward blacks, they were willing to support affirmative action for a while.

So everybody is sick of it, even the people on the left. And it's like, I don't know what it is.

It's kind of like that scene in The Wizard of Oz when they pull back that curtain, Toto does, and you see this little man with these gears. And everybody thought he had this big, scary face. The Wizard of Oz was so scary. And he was just this little nothing. And I think that's what happened with the DEI and the woke and the Green New Deal. We were all bullied. They say, you can't say this.

And when all the scientific studies showed it was 0.001, and then all the campuses were saying they were lying, it's actually 20% of all youth want to transition.

Yeah, I think Corinne Jean-Pierre would call that a cheap fake when the edited version because they don't even make an argument anymore. They used to say that she was Socrates or Cicero or something, but James Carville the other day said we lost because we had the seventh string. as our candidate.

And then when she gave a talk, I don't know if you saw that clip about the LA fires, it was even worse. So I guess when she talks like this, even her own supporters will say, they cringe and they'll say, we've got to edit this or we've got to keep her off the stage. And the question is, how did she ever get where she was getting back to Representative Crockers?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
I mean, she had everything entitled from her from the very beginning. And from the very beginning, she had one card. And we saw that in the debate in 2020 with Joe Biden when she called him a racist. I was a little girl and you were the racist that stopped me from going. I had to take a bus, all that stuff. And And I won't even get into Willie Brown, but she was a mediocrity.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
I don't mean that in a mean way. She just was. And she was way over her head. She knew she was over her head. They knew she was over their head. And now the other day, Nancy Pelosi basically said, we decapitated our candidate. And Joe Biden, in his feebleness, was a better candidate than Kamala Harris. And so they know what they did. That was the worst campaign I think in my lifetime.

It really was. It was the most, and they had everything going. They had the money, they had the media on their side. They had the administrative state on their side and they still lost.

Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
No one cares. And when they all said on that stage that it was racism and misogyny that got Trump elected because he was running against a black woman, why was she polling better than Joe Biden, who was a white male? Do they really believe that if they had, like Nancy Pelosi does, if they had put a white male against Donald Trump, he would have won? He wouldn't have won either.

The problem wasn't the sex or the gender. It was the message. And the message repelled people. It didn't just not energize them. They were sick of it. They were sick of the open border. They were sick of the 500,000 criminal illegal aliens. They were sick of the trans thing. They were sick of DEI. And they could have had...

It's what you stand for, and you hijacked the Democratic Party and ruined it. And you gave us a neo-socialist revolutionary party, and no one wants it. Nobody wants anything to do with it.

You know, that I think everybody understands that Melania is the most photogenic fashion conscious, but also in a very positive way since Jackie Kennedy. We've never seen the last time we had a fair or not the last time we had anybody that glamorous, attractive person. knowing about fashion, good taste, was Jackie Kennedy. And they went crazy over Jackie Kennedy.

I can remember as I was a kid, every magazine had Jackie Kennedy. Jackie did this. Jackie wore this. And she actually dressed a lot like Melania. And then... When they talk about the body, it was just five years ago, Megan, we heard about objectifying women during the Me Too thing, that you don't objectify a woman by just gazing at her body, or you don't do that, you male predators.

And so the problem with all of this is that that writer can't decide whether feminism is a Victorian prudery, that you look at a woman or you touch her shoulder, and that is a... mortal sin and you're going to destroy your career, or you can get naked and you can be more provocatively sexually than any time in the history of America. The way young girls dress today, you know that better than I do.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
Everybody knows that. They're the most provocative dress. They're being encouraged to dress like that. At the same time, the feminist movement was saying to men, if you dare look at that and And they want you to, and this writer is saying that now she wants the male gaze, but if she actually got the male gaze, then that person could be, he would be canceled. Like me too.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
Yes, and that's what destroyed Me Too, and that's what's destroying the whole – all these internal contradictions because they're all contrary to human nature. We have rules and laws against people walking around naked for a very good reason because we don't want people to provoke people sexually, and we don't want to see people's private parts in public.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
No one wants to see that, and that's why for centuries there's been laws against nudity. As revolutionaries, they think they can break these ancient customs and traditions that were never based, they think, on anything other than oppression, when they were all based on human nature. And we inherited all of this tradition, and it's served us very well.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
Yeah, I think so. But the problem they're having is that in almost every one of these issues, there's 70 percent approval rating on Trump. He's picked these issues primarily for that reason, the border and energy and cutting waste. There's overwhelming support for it all. So every time they say they're going to have a big protest or hey, come Jeffries, he's going to go in the street.

And, you know, the final thing I say about, you know, when getting back to Elon Musk, I have never thought, I was thinking that when we were talking about...

And, you know, it kind of reminds me of during the Reagan years. You remember the 1984—you're too young, maybe— They had that great scene where the woman runs in with the ball and she throws it into the screen. It's Orwell's screen. And that's supposed to be a competition for Apple. Apple was coming in. Nobody, everybody said IBM or Microsoft would crush Apple.

And this woman runs into this Orwellian crowd that's mesmerized by these dictate these. And she just throws a ball into the screen. It shatters. It was very famous. And it was the eye. It was kind of an epitome of the age that Reagan was kind of, that whole period of 84 to 85, 86, it was like, we don't have to do any of that stuff anymore. And that was a very liberating period when he came in.

I think maybe the four most accomplished people where I work were Shelby Steele, Tom Sowell,

Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
Condoleezza Rice and Kieron Skinner, and they're all African-American. But race was always incidental. It was never essential to them. And they competed and they all grew up in a period of not Kieron, but the other three grew up in a period of Jim Crow. And yet they were spectacular scholars and they never, and I think now that that's the model.

Most of the people who are DEI who are white are mediocre, and they just want to hammer that, hammer that, look at me, look at me. And you want to say, well, what are you publishing? What are you writing? What are you teaching? And they're all not preeminent.

It wouldn't be like this. It really wouldn't. Trump is so generous. Without him, we wouldn't be doing any of this.

Right. I mean, it's like it just depends. They apply this scary framing to it. But if you just break it down into what people mean by the deep state. It's the blob. A thing that governs that's not elected, that is more powerful than the president. I mean, at the end of the day, Donald Trump was erased from the internet at the end of his presidency the first time around.

People always claim, you know, ownership of a coinage, but I started referring to it that uh, referring to it as that recently. I mean, I, I think that it just became very obvious that that was what was happening once Elon took Twitter.

Um, and the sort of censorship ended and the false amplification of different stories ended and people just started talking more.

Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
Uh, and I, I had been sort of saying a bit more before that feeling sort of isolated, but suddenly it was very apparent there were, there was a lot of support and, um, and it was not, it was not what we'd previously thought you needed him for it, especially now that it's in the white house.

I think tech employees definitely skew left. You can just look at the numbers in terms of political donations and things like that. It definitely overwhelmingly skews left.

Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
But among the people who actually build things, so like founders of companies, both at the startup level and then at the sort of executive level of the giant companies, the publicly traded companies, there's just plenty of support for, I would say, common sense, pro-business, pro-technology type policies, which we just didn't really see any of. under the Biden administration.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
In fact, you saw really, um, while Elon took over, over Twitter, took it, uh, private, you saw the Biden administration really kind of go after the technology industry. And once that happened, it was like, well, where do you go?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
And I think that you had people like David Sachs out there waving his flag and, um, Peter Thiel, uh, my boss previously, like for years, like kind of, he put himself out there early on on Yes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
And then you had, and then you had Elon and it was just like very easy suddenly or not easy, but much easier than ever before for someone who disagreed with a lot of the sort of deranged excesses of the far left that you had seen before that to stand up and say, I don't agree with that shit. That's not what I'm here for. I'm.

It is interesting. I think a lot of people want to not believe that. And they want to believe that Mark's lying or something. And I understand it. It's like, well, he was in charge. He could have just changed things or whatever. He was a young guy when he met Cheryl, who was much older and wiser, you would think. Who knows? I don't know him and I don't know what was happening with them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
I know that I believe that I believe where he is right now. I believe that when I first started writing Pirate Wires before it was a company back when it was just me writing, I covered the his hospital. He donated a lot of money to a hospital in San Francisco and the city government had decided to rename. It was named after him. They were going to take it back at the height. It was 2020.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
It was like the country had de facto legalized writing. It was like at the height of the insanity at that point. And I think that really was a pilling moment for him. It was that plus he had people inside of his, the Zuckerberg Chan, I think it's called the initiative. It's their nonprofit who demanded that he resign at that point over whatever invented crimes of racism had existed at that time.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
He had never done anything. He was just this guy trying to run his company. And I think that was the beginning, but he had no friends. I mean, everybody was isolated back then. My sense as someone who talked to a lot of people was that everybody sort of agreed, but nobody would say anything. And he was one of them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
And he also had the pressure of the entire state bearing down on him because he was seen as the speech platform, I think seen correctly as this very important speech platform. So I think he was maybe scared and I want to give him some grace. I think at the end of the day, what he stands for now publicly, I am aligned with and I'm rooting for him.

She has no idea what she's talking about. You're exactly right about the all in crowd. And the thing about that show is those are very intelligent men. Um, Saks, I think especially is an intellectual and you, this attracts a sort of smart crowd of people, not just this like, it's not just like this rah-rah sort of right-wing podcast at all. It's like a kind of thoughtful tech business show.

And I always had good experience with people in San Francisco. It's like this kind of strange idea that people find surprising. I think there were a lot of people in San Francisco who just like an intellectual and that's what they gravitate towards. And they're going to listen to people. And they weren't really visible because nobody was allowing them to speak before.

And nobody was producing content for them. When I started writing, I wasn't looking for a male audience. I was just like, I can't stand what I'm seeing anymore. And I need to say something. And I was protected because I worked and still work for Peter.

Yeah, I mean, this isn't the first time. During the first term, she told everybody to bird dog and harass and get in the faces and follow Trump supporters into restaurants and stuff. And then we had Al Green. I think this is the fifth time he's been screaming about impeaching Donald Trump. And Hickam Jeffries, who says he's a moderate, but he's not.

Yeah. It's male behavior specifically. So you could see people starting to freak out about. a character who was getting more attention online. Maybe it was Elon Musk or something before Elon was revealing any of his politics, just because of there's like a cadence to the way he speaks or he's using some words like that are kind of bro-y. Anything that was masculine coded was attacked.

It was considered suspicious immediately. Even just competitiveness. I think back to Travis Kalanick, who got railroaded at a time when he had no support in the technology industry. I mean, you can look back. I was tweeting about it, but I had no followers back then. So sorry, Travis. I wasn't-
The Megyn Kelly Show

The Megyn Kelly Show
Dems Try To Storm Building, CNN Panel Melts Down, and Rise of "Tech Right," with Victor Davis Hanson and Mike Solana | Ep. 1003
But so Travis, I mean, he gets railroaded, I think, really for acting – Like a man, like he was considered too aggressive and things. And it was very weird kind of following that just the unapologetic maleness of him at a time when you did have people who were much softer and acting much softer. And I think that's just at this point, I don't know if it's over. I just know that you're allowed.

Andrew Tate was only popular because nobody else was saying the few reasonable things that he was saying. So he's this, I think, very bad person actually. Agreed. And he would also say things like wokeness is stupid. And everyone's like, yes, well, thank you for someone for saying it. And so he was rewarded because no one else, none of the good men would say anything. And so this, I have to...

He's screaming and yelling about – as if he's Winston Churchill. We're going to fight on the beaches and all this. It's insane. And they don't understand that most people – I'd say the vast majority of people are so sick of it.

No, you're hated at that point. You're hated by women and men. Men quietly see that and are like, ugh, why would you do that to yourself? And women don't respect that. So it's like if you don't act like yourself unapologetically in the world, there is no upside ever. So you have to just... speak. And fortunately we're in a place now where you can do that.

If you look at trans surgeries for minors, it's about 80 percent against it. If you look at deportation of criminals, it's about 70 percent for it.

And they're very frustrated because they have given a sample paradigm blueprint through Joe Biden's executive orders. And his pressing the limits of what a president can do, and it came right into Trump's hands. And he said, you know, if Biden did all of this stuff, then I guess he set a precedent.

Yeah, we're in very dangerous territory when you can have a district court judge in America sabotage an ongoing military operation, order the president to turn around planes, bring back 200 of the worst terrorists in the Western Hemisphere back to America without knowing if we have the security capability in place like they did.

He wasn't even the emergency judge four Saturdays ago when he opened up his courtroom, when he exposed this ongoing military operation when he endangered American and allied lives. I mean, this was a very high stakes operation.

But I didn't realize it was like dementia, dementia, dementia. I mean, that was way worse than I thought. And then you can't help at that point. But then think about everybody associated with him. And there's a lot of anger. I think that there's probably even more anger on the Democrat side. So I think these people are all positioning themselves to seem sort of like not the bad guy here.

Alex was I think he has more credibility.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Well, I think at that point they were just pot committed. They were like, this guy's running against Trump. Trump is Hitler in their mind. And so it doesn't matter. We have to run him. And I think that that's really what the story would have been had he not stepped down and he ran. It would have been that way all the way until the election, even after they had the debate.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And they can't blame him.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
You think it was her? You think that she's, if you had to blame one person.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
You cannot make me mess about them. It's not going to happen. You can scream. You can yell. You're getting it from all sides right now. You're getting this sort of just classically presenting globalists. You're getting Democrats. Obviously, you're getting more libertarian leaning Republicans who wanted sort of anti woke stuff, but not this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And they're all just incentivized to gin up as much hysteria as possible. But it has been 10 years of this. And it just started. It's the beginning of Trump's term. There's a lot of reason for him to kick up a bunch of chaos and create a bunch of leverage and begin some kind of negotiations that I don't know really anything about at this point. And it's okay to just sit down and be like,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
let's see how it goes. Like, I think that's fine to just take it day by day. I don't know why we have to go to, you know, DEFCON one, as you were saying before. I don't, I agree. It's like, let's just take a chill pill while we can still afford them.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Well, he was right. In Silicon Valley, around in 2015, 2016, that was the one thing at that time that you were allowed to talk about. Because you remember, like, Peter was run out of town. You could not talk about Trump at that time. But you could talk about China. Everybody was already keyed into China. And that was one where it was this thing that you would hear, you know,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I don't agree with him on everything, but China, which was very interesting at that time. That's true. He was super, super early to it. And I was just thinking while we were watching that clip, you're right, that was just before the China stuff happened. China just retaliated, or they said they were going to retaliate.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
So I saw a bunch of things, but the one that stood out the most was they're going after rare earth metals, or they're saying they're going to. What's interesting about that is that is a strategy they've been on for decades. So they're subsidizing their mining facilities and, more importantly, their processing facilities, while we have been regulating our processing facilities.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Our EPA makes it almost impossible to process things over here. People think that rare earth metals means they're super rare, They're all over. We have them in Texas, in California, in Alaska. We just found a huge store of them in Maine. We can't process them. And this trade stuff actually like if all ignore all the other tariffs, there's one thing with China.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
It really does matter because now it's being used as a weapon against us because we allowed them to subsidize their industries. And because we didn't tariff in response, because we regulated our own out, they can now hurt us in this way. So, yeah, I think on this stuff, he's correct.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Yes, you have to. That's how it works. That's why when we talk about TikTok and we're like, this is a Chinese company, you're run by the CCP. That's how it works when you are doing business in a communist country. And it just, you know what it reminds me? Like there can...
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
All the other tariffs aside, again, and I think you almost do have to decouple them because we're just in the beginning of the negotiations there. But on China, for them to be like, you know, we're retaliating in this unprecedented active trade war. Do you know how many tech companies are banned in China? It's like Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, Twitter, Facebook.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
The whole industry, not just tariffed. It's an embargo. They have been waging trade war against the United States, either obviously or in the case of like the rare earth metal strategy, sort of quietly for decades. Well, we've thought like, oh, we're just playing along. And now one person says this is unfair. and they're like grasping their pearls.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
It's like when an Islamicist blows something up and then everyone says, hey, it seems like there's a problem with Islamicism. And they're like, that's violent rhetoric. It's like, well, what about the violence? Then that's kind of how I feel with the China trade stuff. It's just ridiculous that I have to sit here and take it seriously.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Right, it's to reshore manufacturing is what he says. I think there's like, are we doing trade deals or are we reshoring American manufacturing? I don't know. They're not antithetical, but like, I don't know that the same strategy I'm willing to just sort of wait though. And then on the,
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
On the, you just mentioned something, you know, you're not into government handouts, I agree, but this is the complicated piece of the puzzle, is that China really is. And so if you're competing on a global stage, you know, and you have China massively subsidizing industry and blocking American industry from competing, what do you do? Like, it's not a fair, it's not like, oh, be a capitalist.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Europe is doing the same, Europe, massive, massive fines on American companies. Like, that's not a capitalist system. So what is the correct way to navigate If your competitor is massively subsidized by one of the wealthiest countries in the world. And it's like, I think that I don't think the protectionism stuff is so crazy when that's the when that's the terrain.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
It's just like I think it's a different set of rules.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
You know, it's Asia, really, that we have to watch. And not even all of it. I saw Vietnam also made a bunch of, they changed a bunch of their tariffs around. Anticipating this. Yeah, like who knows what this phone call is.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Yeah, I think it's really bad in Mexico because we have especially great trade deals with Mexico. And so that, yeah, it's like that. I think, listen, I don't, I don't know. Again, can't make me care about tariffs. I'm going to just like chill out and see how it goes.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I think it's fine to say we'll see.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I mean, or she looks drunk to me. She always looks drunk. I don't want to like, I mean, I don't want to throw around any crazy charges here, but that's not coherent.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I think it's just the wrong context. If she just could have a Bravo reality television show or, you know, she talks about wanting a restaurant in Napa Valley and she had this whole, that sounds great.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Do that. I would go. I think she'd be really good at it. I think she's just not good at this. I think this is not the thing for her. I don't know who told her to do this. I feel like there's a person inside of her just who is really fun and like I would get drunk with. who's dying to get out. And I'm just like, let this woman live her life. Like, why do you, she's going to run for governor now?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Like, why are you making her do that?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
President Trump campaigned on the fact that he's gonna cut waste, fraud, and abuse, he's gonna secure our border, and he's gonna get these illegal immigrants, particularly this vicious terrorist gang, Trende Aragua, along with MS-13, the hell out of our country. And President Trump is doing the unthinkable. He's actually doing what he promised American voters
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Okay, she said, what's wrong? We have to be able to say what's wrong or that this is not right or whatever it is. It's like super vague thing. You're right. Nothing's being said. It reminded me of Cory Booker, his 25 hour, the sort of last stand in Washington, where all of the coverage is super glowing. It's like, finally, someone is fighting. Someone is standing up against the thing.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And there are no particulars about what you're actually fighting for. What are you talking about? You're not saying anything. Why did you stand there, sir? Why? And that's, I mean, Kamala, why am I, I'm like, I'm like defending Kamala right now.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I'm like, cause I do think I'm like, I'm really rooting for her, but, but, and she's not in Congress or whatever, but, but Corey reminds me of her and they're doing this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
same thing which is um i don't think they believe in anything and i don't think they know what they're supposed to say they just have to sort of peacock strength or something and uh and it's it's honestly dangerous because what's gonna happen is someone like aoc is gonna is gonna gain a lot more popularity because she's i know what she believes in it's communism yeah and she says it very plainly and openly um and that's very popular for like the luigi mangione left
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Yeah. But there's no way she's going to be president. Yeah, she couldn't lose as a Democrat, which is why it's interesting. If they're willing to give it to her in California and she runs as a Democrat, I think it's very likely that she'll be the governor.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
So it seems less crazy to me than Kamala as governor. But I acknowledge that it's also crazy.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
He would do, and he's doing it fast, right? And President Trump won a broad electoral mandate. He won 312 electoral votes, all seven swing states. He won the popular vote. He kept the House. He won a comfortable majority in the Senate. And he's exercising core article to power under our Constitution. He's not stealing votes. Congress's legislative power under Article 1.

He's not stealing the Supreme Court's judicial power under Article 3. He is enforcing our laws. He's repelling an invasion of our country, which he has the absolute constitutional right, constitutional duty. to do under Article 2 of our Constitution, separate from any statute, separate from any case law, separate from any regulation. He's doing what the Constitution requires.

And these judges are exercising jurisdiction. They do not have this Judge Boasberg I think it was four Saturdays ago when he was not even the emergency docket judge, opened up his courtroom. He exposed an ongoing military law enforcement and intel operation. He endangered American lives and the lives of our allies. We saw the security blueprints in El Salvador.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
There are two kinds of people in these machines. He is someone who is, it's like he's operating on borrowed magic. He's at an institution and he's benefiting from the brand of that institution. And then you have, or you had a person like maybe Glenn Greenwald, who when he left his company and started his sub stack, he removed, the reason everyone was reading. That's so true.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
We saw the massive number of soldiers, intel officers, law enforcement ready to take the most dangerous terrorist in the Western Hemisphere. This judge ordered planes to turn around. Did he know the fuel levels? Did he know what the security footprint was back in America? He did not have the power to do this.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And so all of these places, these huge institutions, they have people like this who are, it's like the power law. Everyone is actually tuning in for this or that person. And if they leave, the whole machine is threatened.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
And those people have never had an easier time now plugging into sort of new, even things like, you're a writer, you have Substack, you can just start right away building a business. They're gonna have a really hard time, all these huge giants.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Right. And it's like, you have it for now. That could change... I mean, who knows what's gonna happen politically over the next few years? So you have to build up as much as you can now and build up as much cultural power as you can and just get as many email addresses as you can and build your own little castle. Because you just don't know what's gonna happen with the platform.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
He doesn't have the power to have this case, period, but let alone to sabotage an ongoing military operation and expose it and endanger American and allied lives. This is why I'm calling for his impeachment, and I don't say that lightly.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Yeah. The Snow White thing is phenomenal. Someone told me just before I came on that they they got rid of they canceled the Tangled one. Yeah. Yeah.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Like the next live action, which is disappointing to me because I was really looking forward to them announcing that it was going to be sort of like a bald Rapunzel. And they were going to do like an like have like an alopecia moment or something. And it's like this is like it was just inevitable. They would have found a way. Uh, yeah. I mean, it's the Snow White thing is a perfect storm, right?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
It's, I mean, it's, you had this obnoxious starring lady, you had the dwarf drama, which went back and forth. You had it in both ways. You had it being, it was like, I don't know, bigoted against dwarves for having dwarves. And then it was, it was bigoted against dwarves for not was the following backlash.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
I mean, it just never it was it was it was it was endless. But I think, yeah, it's like Disney is going to have to figure it out now. They have to navigate culture. And maybe they just never really knew what culture was because of the platform censorship. Now you can see it. And it says it's very just obvious that people are. Yeah. Are infuriated by this. They're sharing the story with each other.
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
They don't want it. And so what are you going to make for them, if anything?
The Megyn Kelly Show
Trump vs. Judges, Clooney vs. MSNBC, and Legacy Media Failing in New Media, with Mike Solana, Dave Aronberg, and Mike Davis
Yay. Yeah. I don't, I mean, what do you think it, where do you, I guess, where do you think it goes from here?
