Charlie Kirk Today | Charlie Kirk: August 6, 2025 | Charlie Kirk Today | August 6, 2025
- Brought to you in part by the
- 00:00:00.757 --> 00:00:02.459
- International fellowship of christians and jews.
- 00:00:02.459 --> 00:00:14.904
- Pam bondi
- 00:00:15.205 --> 00:00:16.206
- Has ordered a federal prosecutor not named,
- 00:00:16.206 --> 00:00:19.409
- Currently to present evidence before a florida grand jury
- 00:00:19.409 --> 00:00:23.980
- To present at the case regarding russiagate.
- 00:00:24.881 --> 00:00:28.585
- This is major news, everybody.
- 00:00:28.585 --> 00:00:31.354
- Now let's take a step back.
- 00:00:31.354 --> 00:00:33.156
- Many people in the audience are very skeptical
- 00:00:33.156 --> 00:00:36.292
- That we will ever see accountability,
- 00:00:36.292 --> 00:00:38.361
- But this is a very positive development.
- 00:00:38.361 --> 00:00:41.331
- Time and time again, we've been promised.
- 00:00:41.331 --> 00:00:43.032
- Accountability goes all the way back.
- 00:00:43.032 --> 00:00:45.201
- Remember benghazi?
- 00:00:45.201 --> 00:00:46.402
- We spent over a year and a half to two years on benghazi,
- 00:00:46.402 --> 00:00:49.973
- Fugazi, fugazi, benghazi legacy.
- 00:00:49.973 --> 00:00:53.109
- What reminds me of the wolf of wall street?
- 00:00:53.109 --> 00:00:56.179
- Fugazi, fugazi.
- 00:00:56.179 --> 00:00:58.681
- We were promised
- 00:00:58.681 --> 00:01:01.184
- Justice for that.
- 00:01:01.184 --> 00:01:02.352
- We were promised justice for the hillary clinton emails.
- 00:01:02.352 --> 00:01:04.354
- We were promised justice
- 00:01:04.354 --> 00:01:06.422
- For the people that lied about the hunter biden laptop.
- 00:01:06.422 --> 00:01:10.293
- We were promised justice for the crimes
- 00:01:11.094 --> 00:01:13.163
- That happened during covid and the lockdowns,
- 00:01:13.163 --> 00:01:14.898
- The vaccine mandates and the mask mandates
- 00:01:14.898 --> 00:01:16.733
- And the corruption of our sciences.
- 00:01:16.733 --> 00:01:18.868
- So just color me a little bit cautious here, that i think
- 00:01:18.868 --> 00:01:22.739
- Immediately that we are going to get perplexing indictments.
- 00:01:22.739 --> 00:01:25.942
- But that is what we need.
- 00:01:25.942 --> 00:01:29.045
- 51 intelligence officials under
- 00:01:29.045 --> 00:01:31.447
- Joe biden lied about the hunter biden laptop.
- 00:01:31.447 --> 00:01:34.751
- Now, pam,
- 00:01:35.051 --> 00:01:37.554
- The ordering this federal prosecutor
- 00:01:37.554 --> 00:01:40.056
- Is a good step
- 00:01:40.056 --> 00:01:42.325
- Overall.
- 00:01:42.325 --> 00:01:43.860
- We want to see less chatter,
- 00:01:43.860 --> 00:01:47.063
- Less memes, less talk on social media or tv.
- 00:01:47.063 --> 00:01:51.334
- We want to see more action.
- 00:01:51.334 --> 00:01:53.236
- If crimes did happen, investigate it,
- 00:01:53.236 --> 00:01:56.873
- Get the evidence and be serious about it.
- 00:01:56.873 --> 00:02:00.210
- But hopefully the department of justice also understands
- 00:02:00.210 --> 00:02:03.046
- All the risks here.
- 00:02:03.046 --> 00:02:04.480
- Prosecuting a former president of barack obama
- 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.716
- Didn't work great for the democrats in 2024.
- 00:02:06.716 --> 00:02:09.586
- So would prosecuting obama be any better?
- 00:02:09.586 --> 00:02:11.521
- He did win two elections.
- 00:02:11.521 --> 00:02:14.224
- The florida
- 00:02:14.557 --> 00:02:15.391
- Venue is a very ambitious scheme.
- 00:02:15.391 --> 00:02:18.761
- They apparently want to prosecute brennan or obama
- 00:02:18.761 --> 00:02:21.497
- Because the biden department of justice raided mar-a-lago
- 00:02:21.497 --> 00:02:26.302
- Six years ago after they left office.
- 00:02:26.302 --> 00:02:29.606
- That could be seen as catering more
- 00:02:29.606 --> 00:02:31.341
- To a very specific grievance of the base,
- 00:02:31.341 --> 00:02:34.444
- Rather than narrowly
- 00:02:34.444 --> 00:02:35.578
- Looking at the crimes that they can prove.
- 00:02:35.578 --> 00:02:38.381
- I would
- 00:02:38.615 --> 00:02:39.849
- Introduce some caution here about trying to indict obama.
- 00:02:39.849 --> 00:02:42.585
- Not, of course, i think he probably deserves it.
- 00:02:42.585 --> 00:02:45.588
- But remember, obama
- 00:02:45.588 --> 00:02:46.823
- Still remains very popular amongst the american people.
- 00:02:46.823 --> 00:02:49.525
- You could potentially create a political martyr brand.
- 00:02:49.525 --> 00:02:52.262
- On the other hand, however,
- 00:02:52.262 --> 00:02:54.197
- I think indicting brennan and comey, who are the
- 00:02:54.197 --> 00:02:57.233
- Operators here, we want this case to be ironclad.
- 00:02:57.233 --> 00:03:01.571
- If you indict them and this fails, it's worse
- 00:03:01.571 --> 00:03:04.073
- Than never even trying.
- 00:03:04.073 --> 00:03:05.675
- So this needs to be a open and shut case.
- 00:03:05.675 --> 00:03:09.245
- No riches, no creativity.
- 00:03:09.245 --> 00:03:11.681
- Because if, for example,
- 00:03:11.681 --> 00:03:12.849
- If you indict barack obama, which i admit, he probably
- 00:03:12.849 --> 00:03:15.351
- He probably deserves it.
- 00:03:15.351 --> 00:03:17.754
- He'll have the most unbelievable attorneys.
- 00:03:18.621 --> 00:03:20.857
- It will be the number one news story of the trump government
- 00:03:20.857 --> 00:03:24.160
- Going after obama.
- 00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:27.063
- Remember, obama has presidential immunity to now.
- 00:03:27.063 --> 00:03:29.465
- John brennan does not.
- 00:03:29.465 --> 00:03:31.301
- John brennan does not have presidential immunity.
- 00:03:31.301 --> 00:03:33.836
- James comey does not have presidential immunity.
- 00:03:33.836 --> 00:03:38.708
- So if we are serious about this,
- 00:03:39.442 --> 00:03:41.377
- And i think we need to be
- 00:03:41.377 --> 00:03:43.546
- This in paneling of the grand jury is major news,
- 00:03:43.546 --> 00:03:46.616
- It's significant.
- 00:03:47.050 --> 00:03:50.019
- Obama.
- 00:03:50.219 --> 00:03:51.387
- I don't know if we want to take the obama bait,
- 00:03:51.387 --> 00:03:53.556
- Even though he might deserve it,
- 00:03:53.556 --> 00:03:54.724
- Even if the evidence is pretty good in obama's direction.
- 00:03:54.724 --> 00:03:57.360
- He has presidential immunity.
- 00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.462
- You could create a massive democrat political martyr,
- 00:03:59.462 --> 00:04:02.999
- But i'm open to hearing both sides of the debate on this.
- 00:04:02.999 --> 00:04:06.069
- But it seems as if brennan is
- 00:04:06.703 --> 00:04:09.238
- Was the hub of the conspiracy.
- 00:04:09.238 --> 00:04:11.974
- He was the epicenter.
- 00:04:12.475 --> 00:04:13.710
- Can we get that piece of tape, guys were brennan,
- 00:04:14.677 --> 00:04:16.546
- Comey and hillary are all parroting the same lie.
- 00:04:16.546 --> 00:04:19.382
- He was the fulcrum point
- 00:04:19.382 --> 00:04:21.651
- Of all things russiagate.
- 00:04:21.651 --> 00:04:24.887
- Now, what exactly were the crimes that were committed?
- 00:04:24.887 --> 00:04:27.857
- Well, we don't know the specifics,
- 00:04:27.857 --> 00:04:29.258
- But it was likely a grand and seditious conspiracy
- 00:04:29.258 --> 00:04:33.930
- Against the american people to thwart
- 00:04:33.930 --> 00:04:36.499
- The sovereign of an election.
- 00:04:36.499 --> 00:04:39.268
- This is president donald trump.
- 00:04:39.902 --> 00:04:41.070
- He called into squawk box on this very topic.
- 00:04:41.070 --> 00:04:43.439
- Play cut.
- 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:44.574
- 351 the justice department now tapping a grand jury,
- 00:04:44.574 --> 00:04:49.345
- To look into, the intelligence community's assessment
- 00:04:49.345 --> 00:04:53.182
- Of what was happening, with russia, he said,
- 00:04:53.182 --> 00:04:56.219
- You have nothing to do with, with directing
- 00:04:56.219 --> 00:04:59.655
- The justice department now.
- 00:04:59.655 --> 00:05:01.190
- Nothing to do. pam is doing a great job.
- 00:05:01.190 --> 00:05:03.359
- I have nothing to do with it. i will tell you this.
- 00:05:03.359 --> 00:05:05.661
- They deserve it.
- 00:05:05.661 --> 00:05:07.363
- I was happy to hear it.
- 00:05:07.363 --> 00:05:08.564
- I actually read it just like you did.
- 00:05:08.564 --> 00:05:10.633
- I have nothing to do with it.
- 00:05:10.633 --> 00:05:12.368
- But what they did in the election, what they did,
- 00:05:12.368 --> 00:05:14.704
- And even the last election.
- 00:05:14.704 --> 00:05:16.005
- But it was too big to rig.
- 00:05:16.005 --> 00:05:17.573
- But what they did in the 2020 election is, is grotesque.
- 00:05:17.573 --> 00:05:21.744
- Now, mind you,
- 00:05:21.744 --> 00:05:22.845
- Even if president trump did order his attorney general
- 00:05:22.845 --> 00:05:24.947
- To do this, that's perfectly constitutional.
- 00:05:24.947 --> 00:05:26.749
- It's perfectly legal.
- 00:05:26.749 --> 00:05:28.418
- The attorney general acts at the behest of the president,
- 00:05:28.418 --> 00:05:31.521
- United states.
- 00:05:31.521 --> 00:05:32.655
- But i understand that you want to keep some customs
- 00:05:32.655 --> 00:05:34.590
- And some things separate, because you don't want to see
- 00:05:34.590 --> 00:05:36.292
- This as a politically motivated thing.
- 00:05:36.292 --> 00:05:38.294
- So i get that.
- 00:05:38.294 --> 00:05:39.395
- But just so we are clear
- 00:05:39.395 --> 00:05:40.463
- And i get this question a lot on college campuses.
- 00:05:40.463 --> 00:05:42.498
- Oh, well, trump orders the attorney general.
- 00:05:42.498 --> 00:05:44.467
- He's allowed
- 00:05:44.467 --> 00:05:45.568
- To the attorney general works for the united states,
- 00:05:45.568 --> 00:05:49.038
- But from all sources, brennan seems to be the culprit.
- 00:05:49.038 --> 00:05:52.008
- He is the center.
- 00:05:52.008 --> 00:05:53.009
- He is the
- 00:05:53.009 --> 00:05:54.243
- He is the the he is the meeting point of the nervous system.
- 00:05:54.243 --> 00:05:58.981
- He's the one where
- 00:05:59.415 --> 00:06:00.650
- Documents specifically show overriding the cia's warnings
- 00:06:00.650 --> 00:06:04.620
- To publish smears against president trump.
- 00:06:04.620 --> 00:06:08.124
- Brennan overrode all of the cia objections,
- 00:06:08.124 --> 00:06:11.594
- All of them to the steele dossier being included
- 00:06:11.594 --> 00:06:14.730
- In the new dni assessment.
- 00:06:14.730 --> 00:06:18.434
- John brennan
- 00:06:18.768 --> 00:06:19.769
- Was the offensive coordinator of russiagate.
- 00:06:19.769 --> 00:06:22.472
- He was calling the plays up from the press box.
- 00:06:22.472 --> 00:06:25.408
- He was the one that was choreographing
- 00:06:26.175 --> 00:06:28.311
- And orchestrating all the movements.
- 00:06:28.311 --> 00:06:30.713
- He was the one calling pass,
- 00:06:30.713 --> 00:06:32.715
- Run, slant out.
- 00:06:32.715 --> 00:06:35.485
- He was in charge of all of the movements.
- 00:06:36.352 --> 00:06:39.722
- This is a montage of james comey, brennan and hillary.
- 00:06:39.722 --> 00:06:43.025
- We went through this tape last week.
- 00:06:43.025 --> 00:06:44.961
- It's very important working up sequentially.
- 00:06:44.961 --> 00:06:48.397
- But if i were to give my advice for it's worth,
- 00:06:48.397 --> 00:06:50.266
- I would go all in on john brennan.
- 00:06:50.266 --> 00:06:53.135
- Unless you have obama.
- 00:06:53.603 --> 00:06:54.871
- So stone cold dead to rights,
- 00:06:54.871 --> 00:06:58.474
- It could potentially be a narrative distraction
- 00:06:58.474 --> 00:07:00.843
- Beyond anything that we want.
- 00:07:00.843 --> 00:07:02.545
- My opinion,
- 00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:04.080
- Brennan, is based on everything we know publicly available,
- 00:07:04.080 --> 00:07:06.482
- And there will be information
- 00:07:06.482 --> 00:07:07.483
- Present to the grand jury
- 00:07:07.483 --> 00:07:08.417
- That we do not have made available to us.
- 00:07:08.417 --> 00:07:11.254
- Let's play cut 353
- 00:07:11.254 --> 00:07:13.356
- It is a high confidence judgment
- 00:07:13.356 --> 00:07:15.258
- Of the entire intelligence community.
- 00:07:15.258 --> 00:07:16.859
- It was russia in a very systematic way,
- 00:07:16.859 --> 00:07:20.129
- In trying
- 00:07:20.429 --> 00:07:21.531
- To interfere in the election and to try to advance
- 00:07:21.531 --> 00:07:23.232
- The prospects of donald trump being elected.
- 00:07:23.232 --> 00:07:24.934
- Donald trump knows,
- 00:07:24.934 --> 00:07:26.736
- That the russians helped him win in 2016.
- 00:07:26.736 --> 00:07:29.872
- There will always be an air of illegitimacy around,
- 00:07:29.872 --> 00:07:33.609
- The 2016 campaign.
- 00:07:33.609 --> 00:07:36.479
- That was john brennan saying the russians
- 00:07:37.380 --> 00:07:39.482
- Actively help donald.
- 00:07:39.482 --> 00:07:40.816
- That was a naked lie on television.
- 00:07:40.816 --> 00:07:44.186
- Now, remember, tulsi mentioned whistleblowers coming up.
- 00:07:44.186 --> 00:07:48.257
- I bet more whistleblowers from lower ranks will come forward.
- 00:07:48.257 --> 00:07:51.727
- I don't necessarily they'll think they'll
- 00:07:51.727 --> 00:07:53.296
- Go all the way up to obama.
- 00:07:53.296 --> 00:07:54.530
- But first, build the case against brennan,
- 00:07:54.530 --> 00:07:57.733
- Build the case
- 00:07:58.067 --> 00:07:59.835
- Against john brennan.
- 00:07:59.835 --> 00:08:03.039
- Reliably, durably.
- 00:08:03.472 --> 00:08:08.644
- And then we go from there.
- 00:08:09.211 --> 00:08:11.247
- I think brennan and comey
- 00:08:11.247 --> 00:08:13.182
- Are the actual worker bees on this entire coup.
- 00:08:13.182 --> 00:08:16.619
- I want your thoughts.
- 00:08:17.119 --> 00:08:17.954
- Freedom at charlie kirkham,
- 00:08:17.954 --> 00:08:19.555
- Do you think we should focus on obama, brennan or comey?
- 00:08:19.555 --> 00:08:22.491
- We're getting lots of different.
- 00:08:22.491 --> 00:08:23.492
- And i'm i'm saying obama likely deserves it.
- 00:08:23.492 --> 00:08:26.329
- But you got to really
- 00:08:26.329 --> 00:08:27.396
- Have had the stone cold case dead to rights.
- 00:08:27.396 --> 00:08:30.967
- And if you don't, it could be worse than not even trying.
- 00:08:30.967 --> 00:08:33.269
- It could derail a lot of the projects we have.
- 00:08:33.269 --> 00:08:35.638
- You and i don't know all the evidence,
- 00:08:35.638 --> 00:08:37.139
- But i see definitely brennan
- 00:08:37.139 --> 00:08:39.175
- As the architect, the designer, the coordinator
- 00:08:39.175 --> 00:08:41.911
- Of this malevolent effort
- 00:08:42.478 --> 00:08:44.747
- To undermine the us constitution,
- 00:08:44.747 --> 00:08:46.482
- Popular sovereignty and president donald trump.
- 00:08:46.482 --> 00:08:52.755
- Lives
- 00:08:52.989 --> 00:08:53.656
- Are shattered in the holy land.
- 00:08:53.656 --> 00:08:56.459
- In an instant, these families lost everything.
- 00:08:56.459 --> 00:09:00.162
- The international fellowship of christians
- 00:09:01.063 --> 00:09:03.132
- And jews is on the ground to provide
- 00:09:03.132 --> 00:09:05.901
- Food and shelter and emergency supplies.
- 00:09:05.901 --> 00:09:09.772
- In emergency, gift of $45 will help thousands
- 00:09:09.772 --> 00:09:13.509
- Of elderly and families with desperately needed food.
- 00:09:13.509 --> 00:09:16.812
- Call it or go online now.
- 00:09:16.812 --> 00:09:18.881
- Her whole body is bruised and wounded,
- 00:09:18.881 --> 00:09:22.218
- And it's very clear
- 00:09:22.685 --> 00:09:23.886
- That zelda is in no condition to find ways to get food.
- 00:09:23.886 --> 00:09:28.190
- Food is critical and so is shelter from attack.
- 00:09:28.190 --> 00:09:31.360
- The israeli government has asked the fellowship
- 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.963
- To urgently place 1000 mobile bomb shelters.
- 00:09:33.963 --> 00:09:37.533
- You can place a mobile bomb shelter in israel.
- 00:09:37.533 --> 00:09:40.836
- Right now, all we need
- 00:09:40.836 --> 00:09:42.271
- Is for you to enable us to buy the shelters.
- 00:09:42.271 --> 00:09:45.875
- My friends, the destruction is unprecedented.
- 00:09:45.875 --> 00:09:49.245
- Please act now.
- 00:09:49.612 --> 00:09:51.847
- I'm terry hinshaw with 180 disaster relief
- 00:09:52.748 --> 00:09:55.885
- Since 2013 and the moore tornado.
- 00:09:55.885 --> 00:09:59.188
- We've been helping families in crisis.
- 00:09:59.188 --> 00:10:01.691
- People who go through floods, fires,
- 00:10:01.691 --> 00:10:04.193
- Hurricanes and all kinds of disasters
- 00:10:04.193 --> 00:10:07.363
- With plans to lift the fallen
- 00:10:07.363 --> 00:10:09.932
- In a world that's for the poor.
- 00:10:09.932 --> 00:10:12.735
- Since the day after hurricane helene,
- 00:10:12.735 --> 00:10:14.670
- We've had boots on the ground.
- 00:10:14.670 --> 00:10:16.238
- It is so important
- 00:10:16.238 --> 00:10:17.173
- Because there's
- 00:10:17.173 --> 00:10:18.007
- So many families waiting right now
- 00:10:18.007 --> 00:10:19.842
- That still don't even have power.
- 00:10:19.842 --> 00:10:21.610
- They've lost all their furniture
- 00:10:21.610 --> 00:10:23.412
- And they don't have the resources to rebuild
- 00:10:23.412 --> 00:10:26.082
- Families finding shelter where there once was only pain.
- 00:10:26.082 --> 00:10:30.886
- Our focus is to help people understand
- 00:10:30.886 --> 00:10:33.522
- How much god loves and cares for them.
- 00:10:33.522 --> 00:10:36.125
- That they would know that they're not alone.
- 00:10:36.125 --> 00:10:38.594
- Go to the website at the bottom of your screen to give now.
- 00:10:38.594 --> 00:10:41.731
- Every dollar makes a difference.
- 00:10:41.731 --> 00:10:44.100
- Bringing hope in jesus name.
- 00:10:44.100 --> 00:10:46.936
- Together we can turn devastation into restoration.
- 00:10:46.936 --> 00:10:50.740
- One family at a time.
- 00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:52.006
- One family at a time.
- 00:10:52.006 --> 00:10:57.747
- Joining us now is doctor charles steele
- 00:10:58.547 --> 00:11:00.249
- Director of the hutchinson center for commerce and freedom
- 00:11:00.249 --> 00:11:03.018
- And the associate professor
- 00:11:03.018 --> 00:11:04.153
- Of economics and america's greatest college.
- 00:11:04.153 --> 00:11:06.455
- Hillsdale college. doctor steele, great to see you.
- 00:11:06.455 --> 00:11:08.724
- Thank you so much for taking the time.
- 00:11:08.724 --> 00:11:10.459
- Doctor steele,
- 00:11:10.459 --> 00:11:11.527
- You are also the one that did the understanding
- 00:11:11.527 --> 00:11:13.863
- Capitalism course, which is wonderful
- 00:11:13.863 --> 00:11:16.332
- That people should check out at charlie
- 00:11:16.332 --> 00:11:17.900
- For hillsdale.com. doctor steele,
- 00:11:17.900 --> 00:11:19.769
- I want to talk to you about mamdani.
- 00:11:19.769 --> 00:11:21.570
- Let's just address one of his one of his ideas.
- 00:11:21.570 --> 00:11:24.607
- Why would freezing the rent and having government run
- 00:11:24.607 --> 00:11:27.676
- Grocery stores in new york city be a bad economic idea?
- 00:11:27.676 --> 00:11:32.081
- Doctor steele,
- 00:11:32.081 --> 00:11:34.517
- Well, thank you very much for the kind words
- 00:11:34.517 --> 00:11:36.819
- About hillsdale.
- 00:11:36.819 --> 00:11:37.920
- We are striving to be the best college in the world,
- 00:11:37.920 --> 00:11:40.489
- And we're going to do that.
- 00:11:40.489 --> 00:11:41.991
- Yes, we may be there now.
- 00:11:41.991 --> 00:11:43.793
- So this is an execution.
- 00:11:43.793 --> 00:11:46.128
- I think people really need to understand what socialism is
- 00:11:46.128 --> 00:11:50.499
- And how it works.
- 00:11:50.499 --> 00:11:52.234
- Really, it doesn't work.
- 00:11:52.234 --> 00:11:53.803
- And understand
- 00:11:53.803 --> 00:11:55.037
- The importance of capitalism and the free enterprise system.
- 00:11:55.037 --> 00:11:57.940
- So you're asking about rent control.
- 00:11:57.940 --> 00:12:00.209
- Rent control prevents, owners
- 00:12:00.209 --> 00:12:03.412
- Of properties from being able to maintain them.
- 00:12:03.412 --> 00:12:06.715
- It, limits
- 00:12:07.016 --> 00:12:08.284
- The amount of property that will be be made available.
- 00:12:08.284 --> 00:12:11.120
- It stops building, and it creates shortages.
- 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:14.190
- That's also true of, of, any kind of price controls
- 00:12:14.190 --> 00:12:18.828
- That hold prices down, attempt to hold prices down.
- 00:12:18.828 --> 00:12:21.664
- They don't actually do that.
- 00:12:21.664 --> 00:12:23.165
- They simply create shortages.
- 00:12:23.165 --> 00:12:25.201
- And then the property will be allocated in some other way.
- 00:12:25.201 --> 00:12:29.405
- Grocery stores, government grocery stores.
- 00:12:30.272 --> 00:12:33.342
- I lived in the former soviet union.
- 00:12:33.342 --> 00:12:35.678
- I also lived in communist china for a short time.
- 00:12:35.678 --> 00:12:38.747
- And i've been in other, other places where they have,
- 00:12:38.747 --> 00:12:41.417
- Government controls on these sorts of things.
- 00:12:41.417 --> 00:12:44.386
- And if you like shortages and standing in lines
- 00:12:44.386 --> 00:12:47.756
- And not enough to eat,
- 00:12:47.756 --> 00:12:49.258
- Then government grocery stores are the way to go.
- 00:12:49.258 --> 00:12:51.627
- It's so there are tens of thousands of vacant apartments
- 00:12:51.627 --> 00:12:55.231
- In new york city right now where he is running.
- 00:12:55.231 --> 00:12:59.368
- And and they do not get improved upon and they do not
- 00:12:59.368 --> 00:13:02.671
- Have, significant upgrades because of rent control.
- 00:13:02.671 --> 00:13:07.376
- The cities with the most rent control
- 00:13:07.376 --> 00:13:09.011
- In the united states, without exception,
- 00:13:09.011 --> 00:13:10.546
- Have the highest average housing prices.
- 00:13:10.546 --> 00:13:12.948
- New york city, san francisco, dc.
- 00:13:12.948 --> 00:13:15.150
- And they've had the controls for a long period of time.
- 00:13:15.150 --> 00:13:17.887
- And so speak more about this.
- 00:13:18.520 --> 00:13:20.289
- The direct connection
- 00:13:20.289 --> 00:13:21.423
- Between rent controls and freezing the rent
- 00:13:21.423 --> 00:13:24.393
- And housing prices increasing, it actually hurts
- 00:13:24.393 --> 00:13:26.862
- The very problem that they are seeking to solve.
- 00:13:26.862 --> 00:13:30.099
- Sure.
- 00:13:30.332 --> 00:13:31.233
- Why would anyone want to invest money?
- 00:13:31.233 --> 00:13:33.569
- Why would you want to build apartments
- 00:13:33.569 --> 00:13:35.704
- If you're not going to be able to charge a
- 00:13:35.704 --> 00:13:37.973
- An amount that allows you to recover your costs?
- 00:13:37.973 --> 00:13:40.643
- And so there's the first problem.
- 00:13:40.643 --> 00:13:42.144
- There's no point in
- 00:13:42.144 --> 00:13:43.178
- Investing in something where there's no possible
- 00:13:43.178 --> 00:13:45.347
- Return on it.
- 00:13:45.347 --> 00:13:46.615
- And i think it's going to be important that we
- 00:13:46.615 --> 00:13:48.250
- That we talked a little bit about capitalism
- 00:13:48.250 --> 00:13:50.119
- And about profit and why that's important.
- 00:13:50.119 --> 00:13:52.321
- That's a valuable thing.
- 00:13:52.321 --> 00:13:53.889
- But just as a just,
- 00:13:53.889 --> 00:13:56.425
- Just as a starting point,
- 00:13:56.425 --> 00:13:59.228
- If you can't recover your cost, you're
- 00:13:59.228 --> 00:14:01.530
- Not going to invest something.
- 00:14:01.530 --> 00:14:02.865
- People will not invest in building new housing
- 00:14:02.865 --> 00:14:06.435
- If there's if they're simply going to take a loss on it.
- 00:14:06.435 --> 00:14:09.538
- And that's what the rent controls do.
- 00:14:09.538 --> 00:14:11.941
- It's interesting that
- 00:14:12.441 --> 00:14:14.109
- After the vietnam war, after the united states had
- 00:14:14.109 --> 00:14:16.512
- Left vietnam and north vietnam conquered south vietnam,
- 00:14:16.512 --> 00:14:20.449
- One of the vietnam, these north vietnamese
- 00:14:20.449 --> 00:14:22.885
- Finance ministers said,
- 00:14:22.885 --> 00:14:25.721
- We managed to do to housing in hanoi
- 00:14:25.721 --> 00:14:29.358
- What the americans could not do by bombing.
- 00:14:29.358 --> 00:14:31.894
- We destroyed it and we destroyed it
- 00:14:31.894 --> 00:14:33.629
- With rent controls.
- 00:14:33.629 --> 00:14:35.798
- That's what rent controls do.
- 00:14:35.798 --> 00:14:38.100
- So, professor, you are a phenomenal teacher.
- 00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:40.502
- Doctor ana's entrusted you with a course.
- 00:14:40.502 --> 00:14:42.371
- Hillsdale college, two minutes remaining.
- 00:14:42.371 --> 00:14:44.273
- What would you say is the greatest economic
- 00:14:44.273 --> 00:14:47.042
- Myth or stumbling block that you have to deprogram
- 00:14:47.042 --> 00:14:50.245
- Or confront of students, that you come at hillsdale
- 00:14:50.245 --> 00:14:52.915
- College, something that they believe
- 00:14:52.915 --> 00:14:54.917
- That is not true, that you have to correct early on.
- 00:14:54.917 --> 00:14:58.420
- Doctor steele, i will tell you, yes.
- 00:14:58.420 --> 00:15:00.556
- Two things.
- 00:15:00.556 --> 00:15:01.623
- Number one,
- 00:15:01.623 --> 00:15:02.825
- People have a tendency to think in terms of class warfare.
- 00:15:02.825 --> 00:15:06.161
- Even conservatives and christians will sometimes
- 00:15:06.161 --> 00:15:09.631
- Think this, that
- 00:15:09.631 --> 00:15:10.799
- Necessarily there's a conflict between capital and labor.
- 00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:14.703
- Capital and labor are actually inputs and workers
- 00:15:14.703 --> 00:15:18.040
- And people who employ them
- 00:15:18.040 --> 00:15:19.575
- Actually are engaged in mutually beneficial exchange.
- 00:15:19.575 --> 00:15:22.878
- And getting the idea of class conflict
- 00:15:22.878 --> 00:15:25.114
- Out of people's heads can be very difficult,
- 00:15:25.114 --> 00:15:27.216
- Maybe even a bigger point.
- 00:15:27.216 --> 00:15:28.584
- Although with
- 00:15:28.584 --> 00:15:29.518
- Hillsdale students, they catch on quickly.
- 00:15:29.518 --> 00:15:31.553
- Profit.
- 00:15:31.553 --> 00:15:32.921
- Profit is a great thing.
- 00:15:32.921 --> 00:15:35.057
- Profit is an incentive
- 00:15:35.057 --> 00:15:37.493
- To serve your fellow man, provide goods and services
- 00:15:37.493 --> 00:15:40.863
- That people want and need, and willing to pay for,
- 00:15:40.863 --> 00:15:43.665
- And to do it at a cost that that a cost effectively.
- 00:15:43.665 --> 00:15:47.469
- So you avoid ways
- 00:15:47.469 --> 00:15:49.171
- A system like the soviet system is incredibly wasteful and
- 00:15:49.171 --> 00:15:52.374
- Generated goods and services that people didn't want.
- 00:15:52.374 --> 00:15:56.011
- If you want to have
- 00:15:56.478 --> 00:15:58.714
- A society that is productive, if people are going to have
- 00:15:58.714 --> 00:16:02.051
- Productive and rewarding lives and flourish,
- 00:16:02.051 --> 00:16:05.020
- If we want to protect the environment,
- 00:16:05.020 --> 00:16:06.522
- If we want a free and peaceful society, we need capitalism.
- 00:16:06.522 --> 00:16:10.092
- Socialism promises those things that it actually
- 00:16:10.092 --> 00:16:12.928
- Brings authoritarianism, tyranny.
- 00:16:12.928 --> 00:16:15.631
- It divides people
- 00:16:15.631 --> 00:16:16.632
- Into the leaders and the serfs who must follow.
- 00:16:16.632 --> 00:16:19.668
- And it's the destruction, tyranny and poverty.
- 00:16:19.668 --> 00:16:22.371
- Result.
- 00:16:22.371 --> 00:16:24.206
- So people need to understand the importance of capitalism.
- 00:16:24.206 --> 00:16:27.376
- Why it works,
- 00:16:27.376 --> 00:16:30.079
- Doctor steele, you're welcome back.
- 00:16:30.079 --> 00:16:31.246
- Any time we need to talk more about capitalism,
- 00:16:31.246 --> 00:16:33.182
- We need to talk more about markets.
- 00:16:33.182 --> 00:16:34.983
- We need to talk more about
- 00:16:34.983 --> 00:16:37.453
- What makes a a what makes the economy tick.
- 00:16:37.453 --> 00:16:41.290
- And it's private property.
- 00:16:41.290 --> 00:16:43.225
- It is profits.
- 00:16:43.225 --> 00:16:44.593
- It is production
- 00:16:44.593 --> 00:16:46.428
- Doctors steal from the greatest college
- 00:16:46.428 --> 00:16:47.930
- In the world, hillsdale college. thank you so much.
- 00:16:47.930 --> 00:16:50.432
- Thank you so much.
- 00:16:50.866 --> 00:16:51.667
- I appreciate it.
- 00:16:51.667 --> 00:16:54.670
- Over the years, i've been clear about this.
- 00:16:55.571 --> 00:16:57.406
- I'm not just pro birth.
- 00:16:57.406 --> 00:16:58.474
- I'm pro-life.
- 00:16:58.474 --> 00:16:59.508
- And being pro-life means standing with mothers
- 00:16:59.508 --> 00:17:01.410
- Not only before the baby is born, but long after.
- 00:17:01.410 --> 00:17:04.246
- That's exactly why i partner with preborn.
- 00:17:04.246 --> 00:17:06.715
- Preborn doesn't just save babies,
- 00:17:06.715 --> 00:17:08.350
- They make motherhood abundantly possible.
- 00:17:08.350 --> 00:17:10.252
- They provide free ultrasounds and share
- 00:17:10.252 --> 00:17:12.054
- The truth, the gospel, with women in crisis.
- 00:17:12.054 --> 00:17:14.623
- And then they stay with real practical help,
- 00:17:14.623 --> 00:17:17.259
- Including financial support for up to two years after
- 00:17:17.259 --> 00:17:19.795
- The baby is born.
- 00:17:19.795 --> 00:17:20.963
- This is what true, christ centered compassion looks like,
- 00:17:20.963 --> 00:17:23.999
- Not just for the baby, but for the mother too.
- 00:17:23.999 --> 00:17:26.235
- And here's where you can make a difference.
- 00:17:26.235 --> 00:17:28.170
- Just $28 provides a free, life saving ultrasound.
- 00:17:28.170 --> 00:17:31.406
- One chance for a mother to see her baby
- 00:17:31.406 --> 00:17:33.142
- When when she does, she's twice as likely to choose life.
- 00:17:33.142 --> 00:17:35.878
- So don't just say you're pro-life.
- 00:17:35.878 --> 00:17:37.479

- Woman's land stolen in title theft scam or elderly couple
- 00:18:04.106 --> 00:18:07.743
- Evicted after home sold without their knowledge.
- 00:18:07.743 --> 00:18:10.546
- This is title fraud, a crime
- 00:18:10.546 --> 00:18:12.014
- Most americans may never have heard of
- 00:18:12.014 --> 00:18:14.216
- Until it happens to them.
- 00:18:14.216 --> 00:18:15.717
- In 2022 alone, the fbi reported that over 11,000 property
- 00:18:15.717 --> 00:18:20.222
- Owners were swindled out of more than $350 million.
- 00:18:20.222 --> 00:18:23.992
- Criminals forged signatures, file
- 00:18:23.992 --> 00:18:25.827
- Fake documents and literally transfer
- 00:18:25.827 --> 00:18:27.563
- Ownership right out from under you.
- 00:18:27.563 --> 00:18:29.498
- The fbi even has a name for it.
- 00:18:29.498 --> 00:18:31.366
- How? stealing. so how does this happen?
- 00:18:31.366 --> 00:18:33.302
- Could it happen to you?
- 00:18:33.302 --> 00:18:34.236
- And what can you do to protect your home?
- 00:18:34.236 --> 00:18:36.338
- Joining us now to break it down is retired fbi
- 00:18:36.338 --> 00:18:39.241
- Special agent art faizan meyer.
- 00:18:39.241 --> 00:18:42.144
- Charlie. thank you for having me.
- 00:18:42.144 --> 00:18:44.146
- You know, you mentioned title fraud,
- 00:18:44.146 --> 00:18:46.982
- And it's a silent crime.
- 00:18:46.982 --> 00:18:49.851
- It's out there and it's everywhere.
- 00:18:49.851 --> 00:18:51.920
- People don't realize it until they're a victim.
- 00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.389
- We see this every day in the news,
- 00:18:54.389 --> 00:18:56.858
- And it keeps coming and keeps going.
- 00:18:56.858 --> 00:18:58.727
- The cyber criminals, they can go online,
- 00:18:58.727 --> 00:19:01.196
- Get a copy of your title using a photoshopping.
- 00:19:01.196 --> 00:19:05.100
- And the other apps that are out there, change
- 00:19:05.100 --> 00:19:07.069
- That document from your name to their name.
- 00:19:07.069 --> 00:19:10.505
- Probably a false identity,
- 00:19:10.505 --> 00:19:12.140
- And file it
- 00:19:12.140 --> 00:19:13.208
- With the county recorder's office where you are.
- 00:19:13.208 --> 00:19:15.677
- And once they file that, they're now the owner of record
- 00:19:15.677 --> 00:19:18.380
- Of your property,
- 00:19:18.380 --> 00:19:19.448
- And they will go out and take out loans
- 00:19:19.448 --> 00:19:22.184
- Using the equity in your house as the collateral
- 00:19:22.184 --> 00:19:25.854
- For those loans.
- 00:19:25.854 --> 00:19:27.055
- And it's a nightmare.
- 00:19:27.055 --> 00:19:29.224
- The fbi calls it house stealing.
- 00:19:29.224 --> 00:19:31.193
- Quite frankly.
- 00:19:31.193 --> 00:19:32.094
- And that happens.
- 00:19:32.094 --> 00:19:32.861
- You know, people will oftentimes
- 00:19:32.861 --> 00:19:34.329
- Not find out about it until the sheriff is knocking
- 00:19:34.329 --> 00:19:37.699
- On their front door
- 00:19:37.699 --> 00:19:38.834
- With an eviction notice and they'll lose their house.
- 00:19:38.834 --> 00:19:41.136
- That's that's serious.
- 00:19:41.136 --> 00:19:42.671
- Don't sit around and think that this is something
- 00:19:42.671 --> 00:19:45.507
- That always happens only to the other guy.
- 00:19:45.507 --> 00:19:48.443
- It happens all the time and we find it everywhere.
- 00:19:48.443 --> 00:19:51.513
- And you just have to read the paper or look online,
- 00:19:51.513 --> 00:19:55.384
- And you're going to find out that there are examples of this
- 00:19:55.384 --> 00:19:58.487
- At every level, whether it's a grandma and grandpa's house
- 00:19:58.487 --> 00:20:01.390
- Or a brand new couple who just got into their home.
- 00:20:01.390 --> 00:20:04.626
- The equity there is such an attractive target
- 00:20:04.626 --> 00:20:07.496
- Because it's so much money that the bad guys know that.
- 00:20:07.496 --> 00:20:11.800
- That's why they do it.
- 00:20:11.800 --> 00:20:12.968
- You know, they would say to the bad guys,
- 00:20:12.968 --> 00:20:14.870
- Why would you steal somebody's house?
- 00:20:14.870 --> 00:20:16.505
- The answer is quite simple.
- 00:20:16.505 --> 00:20:17.472
- They'll say, that's where the money is.
- 00:20:17.472 --> 00:20:19.608
- Three questions.
- 00:20:19.608 --> 00:20:20.542
- Do you know what your title looks like?
- 00:20:20.542 --> 00:20:22.210
- When was the last time you saw your title,
- 00:20:22.210 --> 00:20:24.513
- And do you know where your title is right now?
- 00:20:24.513 --> 00:20:27.249
- And most people can't answer that.
- 00:20:27.249 --> 00:20:28.917
- But the bad guys can.
- 00:20:28.917 --> 00:20:30.218
- They can answer that
- 00:20:30.218 --> 00:20:31.219
- And all the other questions about your house
- 00:20:31.219 --> 00:20:33.422
- Because the documents are on file somewhere.
- 00:20:33.422 --> 00:20:36.725
- I mean, you can go online and figure out what the equity
- 00:20:36.725 --> 00:20:39.828
- Is in your house,
- 00:20:39.828 --> 00:20:40.929
- What your mortgage is on your house, quite frankly.
- 00:20:40.929 --> 00:20:43.665
- And so the bad guys will be able to figure out exactly
- 00:20:43.665 --> 00:20:46.268
- What's available to them.
- 00:20:46.268 --> 00:20:47.769
- When i first started dealt with the family, they called us.
- 00:20:47.769 --> 00:20:50.539
- They were already in the soup.
- 00:20:50.539 --> 00:20:52.240
- They had been defrauded of almost all of their equity.
- 00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.545
- They came to me and wanted to know
- 00:20:56.545 --> 00:20:57.679
- If i could help them,
- 00:20:57.679 --> 00:20:58.947
- And it was too late for us to do much for them as home title.
- 00:20:58.947 --> 00:21:01.550
- But i told them,
- 00:21:01.550 --> 00:21:02.517
- I said, what you've got to do, unfortunately,
- 00:21:02.517 --> 00:21:04.186
- You've got to get an attorney
- 00:21:04.186 --> 00:21:05.120
- And you've got to take this to court.
- 00:21:05.120 --> 00:21:06.421
- Now, they called me back about two years later.
- 00:21:06.421 --> 00:21:09.191
- Was nice of them to think of me, quite frankly.
- 00:21:09.191 --> 00:21:11.393
- And they and i asked him how they did, and he said the judge
- 00:21:11.393 --> 00:21:14.296
- Gave the house back to us, and he said we had one problem.
- 00:21:14.296 --> 00:21:18.500
- We owed so much in legal fees.
- 00:21:18.500 --> 00:21:20.302
- We had to sell the house anyway to pay the attorneys off.
- 00:21:20.302 --> 00:21:23.238
- And that's how nasty it gets.
- 00:21:23.238 --> 00:21:24.539
- Whether you're old or young, you've got equity in your house
- 00:21:24.539 --> 00:21:28.510
- And you need to protect that equity.
- 00:21:28.510 --> 00:21:30.545
- And the best way out there right now is home title.
- 00:21:30.545 --> 00:21:33.448
- Our home title has their own sort
- 00:21:33.448 --> 00:21:35.917
- Or we built it from the ground up.
- 00:21:35.917 --> 00:21:37.586
- So when you sign up, our software watches your title
- 00:21:37.586 --> 00:21:41.990
- In a national database 24 seven.

- If that's disturbed in any way, shape or form,
- 00:21:44.860 --> 00:21:47.796
- Our software will issue you an email
- 00:21:47.796 --> 00:21:51.299
- With the offending document attached
- 00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:54.069
- And it will instruct you to look at the document
- 00:21:54.069 --> 00:21:56.071
- If you don't recognize it.

- 00:21:58.073 --> 00:22:01.109

- Based customer service

- To make sure that we return that title to your name
- 00:22:13.255 --> 00:22:17.826
- And then it'll be your house again.
- 00:22:17.826 --> 00:22:20.562
- When i first started
- 00:22:20.562 --> 00:22:21.563
- Looking at home
- 00:22:21.563 --> 00:22:22.731
- Title like to consider whether i was going to endorse it,
- 00:22:22.731 --> 00:22:25.600
- The first thing i noticed was that my equity
- 00:22:25.600 --> 00:22:28.637
- And my house was completely unprotected.
- 00:22:28.637 --> 00:22:31.406
- So i believe that anybody owns a home.
- 00:22:31.406 --> 00:22:33.842
- They need to have that kind of protection
- 00:22:33.842 --> 00:22:35.911
- So that they can sleep well at night.
- 00:22:35.911 --> 00:22:37.412
- And also that the money that they're thinking is there
- 00:22:37.412 --> 00:22:40.615
- Will be there when they need it for retirement.
- 00:22:40.615 --> 00:22:43.652
- Community assisted living.
- 00:22:43.652 --> 00:22:45.954
- Leave it to your kids.
- 00:22:45.954 --> 00:22:47.656
- The whole idea is you need somebody
- 00:22:47.656 --> 00:22:51.126
- Watching your title and your equity for you.
- 00:22:51.126 --> 00:22:54.162
- And if you own a house,
- 00:22:54.162 --> 00:22:55.564
- You should have home title like right now.
- 00:22:55.564 --> 00:22:57.532
- Don't wait till tomorrow because it can happen tonight.
- 00:22:57.532 --> 00:23:00.836
- Homeowners don't realize how simple it is
- 00:23:00.836 --> 00:23:04.739
- For the crooks to steal the title
- 00:23:04.739 --> 00:23:08.376
- To their house and change the name charlie.
- 00:23:08.376 --> 00:23:11.613

- Every day brings a new headline
- 00:23:33.468 --> 00:23:35.570
- Questioning israel's right to defend herself.
- 00:23:35.570 --> 00:23:38.039
- But behind the politics is simple truth.
- 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:39.975
- Israel security
- 00:23:39.975 --> 00:23:41.176
- Is possibly the most complex anywhere in the world.
- 00:23:41.176 --> 00:23:43.712
- On october 7th, we saw just how much depends
- 00:23:43.712 --> 00:23:46.248
- On the brave men
- 00:23:46.248 --> 00:23:47.415
- And women who are ready to act when every second counts.
- 00:23:47.415 --> 00:23:50.018
- Israel's first responders are the heroes
- 00:23:50.018 --> 00:23:52.320
- Who run towards danger, not away from it.
- 00:23:52.320 --> 00:23:54.723
- And even now, nearly two years later,
- 00:23:54.723 --> 00:23:56.525
- Israel is still under fire daily
- 00:23:56.525 --> 00:23:58.260
- With rocket attacks, border threats and acts of terror.
- 00:23:58.260 --> 00:24:00.795
- These frontline defenders
- 00:24:00.795 --> 00:24:01.897
- Need our help through
