I know you think I'm like playing Dr. Seuss or something, but I really believe that. I think the race stuff is totally overblown to this day. And I've heard, I'm very hated. I've never one time had any black person come up to me like, you're racist. I hear all the time I'm a racist, which I'm not. I'd admit it if I was.

I'm not. The only people who ever called me racist are like angry 49-year-old white female lawyers. They're super convinced I'm a racist. Every black person ever meets like, hey man. So I'm serious. I mean, maybe, I don't know, but I can only tell you my own experience. And I think most people don't spend all day mad about race.

And you don't want to live in a country where they do trust me at all. So we have a lot in common and I hope that I hope that people realize that before it's too late. All right.

He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created Turning Point USA. We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

That's why we are here. Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com. Hey, everybody. Welcome back.

Email us your thoughts. As always, freedom at CharlieKirk.com. Joining us now is Chris Hoare, spokesman for Satellite Phone Store. That is satellite phone store.com, one of our favorite partners here.

You can also go to sat123.com. Chris, welcome back to the program. Thanks for having me back, Charlie. It's great to be here. What a great Christmas gift, by the way, this could be for people. I just thought of that.

And it's really unique and really special. So just remind our audience about sat123.com, what you guys stand for, and let's get into the details. Well, Charlie, what we really stand for is making sure that people have communications no matter what is going on in any disaster, in any emergency, when the cell towers are down, when the power is out. Your cell phone's not going to work, but a satellite phone works because it talks directly to the satellites in the sky. So it can always receive calls and always make calls no matter where you are. If you're in the middle of the ocean, you're in the desert, you're in the middle of downtown Denver where my cell phone doesn't work that well. You know, your satellite phone is always going to work because it communicates directly with the satellites in the sky. And Charlie, these phones used to cost like $5,000, $10,000, and the prices come down a little bit over the last 20 years. But at sat123.com, we give them away for free with activation.

And they are a great Christmas gift, as you just said, because this is giving the gift of life. If someone is in a disaster, whether it's a hurricane or a terrorist attack, or they're just off-road, then they have no cell service and they have an accident when they're hiking. This can save your life. You can make a call or receive a call no matter where you are, Charlie. As long as you can see the sky, you can make a receiver call or send or receive a text. Oh, I'm going to take advantage of this in 2024. You're trying to tell me I can make a phone call from an airplane. Is that right? Yes, you can.

And it wasn't legal last time I tried it. But, you know, I did turn on my phone at 30,000 feet, and I got a connection. And, you know, so I shut it off at that point. But look, if you think back to 9-11 and things like that, you know, some people could get cell phone calls out when they were very close to the ground on that horrible day. But if someone had a sat phone on one of those planes, it might have made a difference.

I don't know, Charlie, but it certainly, you know, gives you an option and an alternative. Yeah. So in years past, I've tried to get a satellite phone, and the process was convoluted and difficult. And you had to get different carriers and sign off. You guys have made it very simple at sat123.com. Talk about that.

Yeah, no, we really have. You just give us a call at 941-955-1020, or go to sat123.com. You click right at the top there. You've got buy now. We've got a free MR-SAT phone with an extra battery. So that's over $1,000 you're getting for free, Charlie. And then it's just $95 a month after that. You get 100 minutes with that, which you can use to call anywhere.

It's one big area code for the whole planet. And if you don't use those minutes, they roll over. So, you know, if you don't use it for a few months and then you need to suddenly you have a disaster emergency going on, you're going to have a bunch of minutes lined up. So it's very, very useful for that.

And it really can save your life. There's this growing narrative that it might be the end of the world as we know it. There's this new Obama Netflix movie about the end of the world. I think what is the name of that movie? It's called Leave the World Behind.

Kind of strange. And so, I mean, I don't want to play into some of the alarmism. I'm a major prepper, by the way. The media always makes fun of me for that, but I'm going to eat and be able to make phone calls and they're going to be in the streets. So in what ways do satellite phone, just like go through the technology of it. I know you mentioned this. How do they protect against tracking and eavesdropping in particular? Well, as you know, a cell phone basically is a government tracking device. They know where you are at all times. They can tell where you've been, where you are, what you're saying, and all of that. With a sat phone, the closest you can track someone is 50 square miles.

Now, Charlie, I don't know about you, but I lose my remote control on the couch. So 50 square miles is a huge area and it makes it extremely difficult, basically impossible for anyone to track you. And tracking is a major problem and so is privacy, as you know.

Yeah. So what are the details on the current offer that you guys have for the Inmarsat LSAT satellite phone on a 15-month agreement? It's just you pay $95.99 a month. That's it for 15 months. For that, you get those 100 minutes a month and they can roll over as well. We can also get you a USA phone number so you can just give out what looks like a cell phone number to anyone and they can call that and it'll go right to your sat phone. And that is about it.

It's very, very simple. You buy now or you just on sat123.com, we'll call 941-955-1020. We will hook you up. And if you call us today, we can even get this phone in time for you for Christmas. And if you want to get a gift for yourself and your wife or your kids or whatever it is, you can get two sat phones for free and you pay just $179 a month and you get 200 minutes and so on.

But yeah, call us today and we'll get them to you before Christmas. So your customers, they're coming in sat123. What are they telling you about what they want most right now? What are you hearing from the audience? Well, what I'm hearing a lot of is this worry over and concerns over privacy.

Obviously, they just renewed the Pfizer Act. The government can just kind of basically go into your phone and search it without a warrant and that's your cell phone. But a satellite phone makes all of that a lot more difficult. There's no camera on these phones, so you can't be watched.

They really do add a big layer of security that you don't get on a cell phone. So privacy is basically the number one thing. And then this worry about what's going to happen if the government decides, you know what, we have this threat and we're just going to shut down the cell networks for now for your own protection. That's what happens in wartime, right? It's for your own good. They limit the press and they limit your personal freedoms. And so this is a way to fight back against that.

And that's what people are most concerned about right now. So you mentioned some of the promotional stuff. What is the cost structure, including monthly fees and minutes and texts? So basically you're paying two months upfront and then that's it. And then after two months, you're just going to be billed the $95, $99 a month. If you go over, you will be billed a little more. But again, with these rollover minutes, most people are not going over their minutes because they're not using these phones every day, right? I mean, yeah, you should take this phone with you when you go hiking, when you go skiing or snowboarding or whatever it is, you're going hunting, fishing, you know, that's when you're going to have it with you. But you know, as long as nothing happens, you won't need to use it. But if something does happen, it will absolutely get you out of a jam.

The website is sat123.com. Let's take a look at current events. Are there any stories that have you concerned? We know the Chinese are hacking our grid and our information system. What are you seeing out there that our audience should be aware of? Well, you know, we work with a lot of the big utility companies. And what they're seeing is, you know, the multiple drone sightings around these power stations. They're seeing outages they can't explain, you know, and all of this affects, of course, everyday electricity supply, but it affects the cell towers as well.

You know, so the cybersecurity is a massive problem. And, you know, clearly the cell phone networks are a huge target for whether it's Iran or China or Russia, whatever it is, because they know they take out a cell phone network, as happened in Australia recently, one of the number two carrier there took out that their network was taken down and they're not giving any details about that. But certainly it seems like that might have been, you know, some bad actors, but half the country was without cell phone service for up to three days. Now, you know, people get panicked when they leave their cell phone at home. Imagine not having that phone or be able to communicate for three days. You know, it happened in Australia.

That's a first world country. You know, if it happened there, it can happen here. So in closing here, I mean, I just want to emphasize the Christmas is a few days away. Will people be able to receive these phones in time put under the tree potentially?

Yes, 100%. They can call 941-955-1020. Or they can go to sat123.com. Place your order today or give us a call today, Charlie, and we will make sure we get you that phone before Christmas. Yeah.

So and so it's sat123.com. They need to be prepared for this. Just closing thoughts, Chris, about 45 seconds remaining. Look, you know, as with all prepping, you know, the the way it works is you get prepared for something happens, not when it's happening or afterwards.

You know, there's very few of these funds made every year, just a couple of hundred thousand is any kind of disaster. They're sold out immediately and they're gone. So don't wait.

You know, get your free phone today with activation and feel safe this Christmas. Thank you so much, Chris. Really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

That's MyPillow.com, promo code KIRK. Let's talk about Iowa. Iowa is an awesome place, but it's a tricky, tricky political terrain.

Polls can be very deceiving. A caucus is different than a primary. It's all about who shows up. Here's the way a caucus works, and I've been to a caucus before, is you'll meet in a church or a school, and you have to be there at 6 p.m. You cannot pre-vote. You cannot early vote. There's no mail-in voting, and you line up outside. They say, all right, come on in. Come on in, and you file in and file in and file in, and everyone's there, and they say, okay, now it is the beginning of the caucus. Every candidate who is on the ballot has a representative that can give a speech, and so Nimrada Haley's Lockheed Martin friend is going to say, I think Nimrada is the best choice for Iowa, and Ron DeSantis's person will come up, and Donald Trump, they have surrogates, if you will, and so each one gets 90 seconds to two minutes, vote for Trump, vote for this, and vote for that, and then they vote, and they literally, it's on the back of a piece of paper, a little thing. It's very unofficial, and they put it in, and then the tabulator says, okay, three Trump, and yeah, no, no, that, and so people can change their mind right there. All these kind of DeSantis pledge cards or Trump pledge cards or polls. It's very fickle, everybody, and Iowa has been known for years to shock pollsters.

Now, the most accurate poll is the Des Moines Register poll that happens the weekend before the Iowa caucus. Everybody, this is really important. We are, I'm gonna, I'm just gonna tell you right now, we are on, I hope you guys get a great Christmas. I hope you guys get a lot of rest.

I hope you guys get filled with, get your batteries filled because you're gonna need it, everybody. January 15th, let's see, we have 24 days. We are 24 days out from the Iowa caucus, everybody. Now, yes, weather can be a factor, but honestly, in Iowa, they're used to snow and stuff, so unless it's unbelievably bad, they're gonna show up for the caucus. I, Donald Trump's gonna win the Iowa caucus, I'm rather certain.

He's gonna win New Hampshire, but by how much? If they can't beat Donald Trump, what if they can make a win look like a loss? And I'm afraid we are falling for this. Way too many people are falling for this right now.

It's all about expectations. So Donald Trump would be, I think, wise, and this is what I'm counseling him to do privately and publicly, to say, look, this race is getting close. Now, he doesn't want to say that because he wants to say that the primary is over, but then if he wins by 30 points, which he might, by the way, he could win by 10 or he could win by 35.

We don't know. Now, the Colorado Supreme Court thing really helps Trump, but imagine people think that Trump is gonna win by 40 points, and Iowa being very hard to predict and very tricky, and I'm talking to people on the ground in Iowa and they say this thing is a lot closer than you might think. There's a lot of undecideds, you know, Iowans, they need to be courted.

They don't like being told what to do. And what if Trump wins by 11? The media would say Donald Trump underperforms in the first state. He wins by 11. Or what if he wins by single digits?

What if he wins by eight, which, by the way, would be historically good? A new poll out of New Hampshire shows something quite interesting. A new poll out of New Hampshire shows that, and it could be a trash poll, I don't know, shows that Donald Trump is up 14 points on Nikki Haley, the St. Anselm poll. Another poll that was released last night, which is relatively a garbage poll, showed that Nikki Haley was down four points.

People don't like that poll. Okay, you kind of see what's going on here. Here's the media narrative. I'm going to walk you through it.

It's very simple. Make the win look like a loss and go all in on South Carolina. They have cleared the field. Tim Scott went out and Nikki Haley is the former governor of South Carolina. So they want to make Iowa's win look like a loss because the expectations have been set so generously. They want to make the New Hampshire win look like a loss because the expectations have been set so high. Donald Trump will almost certainly win both by how much we don't know. And then South Carolina will come and Nikki Haley might over perform there as well. What I'm getting at is there's two different primaries going on.

The primary of the actual reflection of the votes and the expectations and how people spin that. It's going to be rocking. And by the way, make a little note.

Make a little note. 24 days from now, make sure you guys watch the Charlie Kirk show live stream. We are going to have the best Iowa caucus coverage ever. We'll be going late into the night. So make sure you guys make plans to watch us on January 15th.

That Monday is going to be historic. All right, I want to tell you about Herzog. Herzog Foundation is amazing.

H-E-R-Z-O-G. HerzogFoundation.com. Joining us now is Mark Palletta, a senior fellow at the Center for Newing America and also a personal friend of Justice Thomas. There is a New York Times article which actually ties beautifully to a story that I've been wanting to hit for a couple weeks now, which is just how the Senate is treating Clarence Thomas and Leonard Leo. Clarence Thomas threatened to resign over salary concerns in 2000.

The justice set off a scramble by a lawmaker to find a way to raise his pay. What on earth is this all about? The continued targeting of my favorite justice on the Supreme Court. Mark, what is going on here?

Charlie, it's just thanks for having me on. It's just the non-stop for 40 years attack on Justice Thomas, who is a good friend of mine, a dear friend of mine, our greatest justice, our greatest living American, and it's all a lie. And in fact, ProPublica first came out with this garbage a couple days ago, where they had this story that allegedly Clarence Thomas had a conversation with a congressman. And in the ProPublica story, they didn't even say that Clarence Thomas threatened to resign or raise concerns over his pay. It was that the congressman inferred it from their conversation. But what happens, the New York Times, which in this case is even worse than ProPublica, who have lied repeatedly about Justice Thomas, they go along and say, oh no, he complained about his pay and threatened to resign. It's all a lie. I've known Justice Thomas since 1989, okay, worked on his confirmation.

I vacationed with him, I spent the holidays with him and his wife and my family very close to him, shoot the breeze all the time with him. He's never once, ever once, mentioned complaining about his pay or threatening to resign. What I recall about his service on the court, or how long he would stay, is after they smeared him in 1991 with Anita Hill's lies, after that he was 43 years old when he was confirmed. And he said, they took away the first 43 years of my life, and I'm going to serve 43 years on this court. So that's 11 more years. He's at, I think, 32 years and 60 days on the Supreme Court, our 11th longest serving justice. My view, he's never going to retire. He's going to be on the bench as long as his health permits. He's in the best shape in many, many years.

I just saw him this week. And it's just a crazy narrative that they want to drive. This narrative was that Justice Thomas complained about his pay, threatened to resign, and then people ran around trying to make him happy. It's all a lie.

And they continue to do this, continue to invent these stories. You mentioned the Senate. What are they investigating Justice Thomas for? His friendships, right? What do they not care about the Democrats?

Hunter Biden selling access to communist countries, right? But they're all upset about Justice Thomas hanging out with his friends at their homes and traveling with them. That's the crime here.

But it's typical. I've been doing this for more than 30 years in terms of working with Justice Thomas to defend his reputation or working on my own to defend Justice Thomas's reputation. And the leftist hates him. They hate him.

Why do you think they hate him so much? I mean, I had RFK in the studio here the other day, and we have this massive frame picture of Clarence Thomas, by the way. And RFK sits down and he says, he says, I bet that drives the left crazy. And I said, why? And I asked them, I said, why do you think that is? And RFK said, well, it's very obvious.

People on the left don't think that blacks can be independent thinkers. What do you think about that? That's RFK's comment privately. Yeah. Yeah, that's amazing.

Yeah. I've been saying this. I've testified in Congress to this.

I've written extensively on this. Justice Thomas is a black conservative and the left believes. My view is he triggers the left's racism. He exposes their views that, you know, people have to think a certain way based on the color of their skin. And it's so disgusting, Charlie. Like I said, when we went through the confirmation and the cartoons or the news coverage of him is just, he, you know, he, he dares to have his own views and he doesn't bend.

He has never bent. And they tried to destroy him in 1991. So it's one of those things, you know, the left, you know, it was an existential threat, really in part, right, to the liberal black leadership. Right.

And if you look at it, Charlie, this is what gets to be so, and I've testified to this, gets me so upset on almost every single issue from affirmative action to abortion to voter ID to even abortion. You know, black Americans are much more in line with Clarence Thomas, right, than they are with the liberal black leadership. So they need to destroy him because he's a threat. He's a threat to them.

Right. And the black leadership, the liberal black leadership gets all their funding from white progressive groups. So they push all these issues that are not in fact what black Americans, you know, the great majority of them believe.

So that's the, that's the, you know, the game here in my view. And so, you know, as Justice Thomas said, actually, during his confirmation, right, he was overwhelmingly supported, right, during his confirmation by the American people, okay, in 1991, including black Americans. But who opposed him? The NAACP. How absurd is that?

Right. An incredible story. And for your listeners, your viewers, Justice Thomas was born into segregation in 1948 in the deep south into abject poverty, right. His mom was a maid to white families. His father left when he was two years old. He was born in a shack, right, with one light bulb and nothing else.

No, no indoor plumbing, okay, in Pinpoint, Georgia, on the swamps, on the marsh of southern Georgia. And he moves in with his grandfather because his mom couldn't take care of him, right. His grandfather is born in 1907 in the deep south and raises him and sends him to a Catholic school and it changes his life, both his grandfather and the nuns at this Catholic school. This is an incredible American story.

He should be celebrated from the rooftops, right. And what do they do? They malign him at every turn. I think there's a story, again, the stories change every single day or there are more stories every single day. I think Ruth Marcus has a story today that because Ginny Thomas said that the 2020 elections was a heist or she's expressed concern about, Clarence Thomas must recuse. And you know what? I do think that's racist.

Why? Because a liberal judge named Judge Reinhardt on the Ninth Circuit had a case before him, right, called, it was the same-sex marriage case, same-sex ban case in the California Constitution. And his wife was the head of the ACLU chapter in Southern California, right. She was very vocal against this constitutional initiative in California. Her organization filed two briefs in the court below. That case goes up to Judge Reinhardt and guess what? He doesn't recuse himself. He says my wife's views aren't my views, right.

And guess what? The leading judicial ethics experts in the United States, including Stephen Gillers, who's still around today, this was in 2011 this case was, said if you think that he's going to be influenced by his wife's view, you're living in the 15th century. These views are so antiquated. You're a, you know, a misogynist. You're a sexist. And yet here it is with Ginny Thomas, who doesn't even file a suit, right, or involved in the brief, you know, she doesn't do anything legal. She expressed an opinion in the political world. And somehow Clarence Thomas has to recuse. Why is that?

Because they think that he is overly influenced by his wife. Right. And that's the that is my view, the racist.

And it runs along a lot of these attacks. Is Clarence Thomas in the Black History Museum, the African-American History Museum? Charlie, glad you brought that up. But it was first opened in 2016, I think it was. He was not in there. I'll tell you, I'll tell you, he was not in there. You know who was in there? Anita Hill three times.

And you know what I did? I sat outside that museum because if you recall, when it first opened up, it was so busy that you had to reserve a ticket. I went there at 5 a.m. in the morning to sit on the sidewalk so I could go in because I heard that he wasn't in there. And I took videos of the exhibit. Thurgood Marshall, of course, massive, you know, display of him, exhibition of him. Anita Hill, three different things that were on her in that museum and nothing about Clarence Thomas.

Okay. So there was a lot of press and a lot of heat. I've heard President Obama did not want him in the African-American Museum.

And after about a year, they put something in there. He's our greatest living American. He's our greatest Black American. He's the longest, you know, he's the 11th longest serving justice in our history, right?

The longest is about four years. He's got this incredible record, 700 opinions. If you think about the court, Charlie, and where they are going on every single case, the important cases, right, from abortion, religious liberties, affirmative action, the Second Amendment, the administrative state, right, this awful administrative state. Who has led the way for 30 years on those cases where he was writing dissents, including in the Casey case back on abortion. Ed Grutter on affirmative action, he was in dissent in 2003. Clarence Thomas, he has laid out a body of work that the justices, the current justices, the majority, the originalists, are using to change the face of American jurisprudence. And it all goes back to Clarence Thomas. And yet, going back to your thinking, there are cartoons of him shining Justice Scalia's shoes, right, that he was, you know, a puppet of Justice Scalia.

The most racist stuff you can imagine, right? And the left thinks this is acceptable. And so, it's the Thomas court. They go after him. They will continue to go after him. You know, God bless him.

He's never bent at all. And it's not fun to go through this stuff. And of course, they attacked Ginny Thomas, who's a dear friend. And she was, I represented her in the January 6 committee investigation, which was a circus and a joke. But that's what they do. And I thought that was particularly despicable, right, to really go after Ginny Thomas and target her starting in 2022, right? And this is the Jane Mayer, Jane Mayer from the New Yorker, who wrote a book, actually called Strange Justice, back in the early 90s, where she have all of these, you know, sentences in there that he is not smart, relying on white judges, relying on his wife, relying on his law clerks.

It's really despicable. But Thomas has just marched up, done his job, and has the greatest record of any justice in modern time. about it.

So, Mark, I had RFK Jr. on the program, and I asked him what current Supreme Court justice most fits his ideas. And he said, I can't answer that. And then he said his favorite Supreme Court justice is Earl Warren, someone who protected and modernized the modern administrative state and the deep state, who I believe killed his uncle as well, which is really a bizarre thing that he would be defending the justice that actually made the administrative state permanent and possible. So, Mark, your thoughts on RFK Jr.'s inability to name a justice?

How should we think about this? I think he's a classic liberal who thinks that the Supreme Court is a policymaking, you know, court organization, a super legislature, if you will, doesn't want to get the left mad because they want, you know, somebody like that, like Earl Warren. The fact that he says it's Earl Warren just tells you everything you need to know about the type of justice. Tell us what that means. A lot of people don't know what Earl Warren.

So just give us a minute history. Why is Earl Warren such a red flag? When I say an activist judge, he thought that the court should make policies, right, in terms of the laws or the Constitution to stretch them to what he thought was best. He's unelected. He's appointed. He's supposed to interpret the Constitution. So, you know, the 14th Amendment says you cannot discriminate on race. But he thinks, right, in his, and now this came a little bit later in that type of case, but he thought that it should be, I'm going to be a policymaker as a judge, as a justice. We want justices to interpret the Constitution, to apply it, to let the democratic process, you know, play out. And then, you know, like the Second Amendment, right, liberal justices will say, oh, we're fine with you restricting these rights on Americans when the Constitution says X. So that's the type of, it's a policymaker that doesn't view his role as applying the Constitution or the law at issue.

It's what do I think is best? And that's a recipe for disaster. That's how abortion happened, right? To find a right to an abortion in the Constitution is absolute fiction.

It doesn't exist, right? But that's what these left-wing judges do. Affirmative action, same thing. They come up with all these policy reasons why it's good, it's terrible, but it's just also unconstitutional.

That's what he's looking at. Just like all of these, the administrative state you talked about, right? And I think I saw part of that clip of him talking about environmental laws.

Well, guess what? The EPA has certain set laws, right, and powers based on what Congress enacted. And what happens, Charlie, is that the EPA will do something far outside of that law.

They assume the power of the legislative branch, right? And that's, and Earl Warren, Eisenhower said that picking Earl Warren was, quote, the biggest damn fool mistake I ever made. Warren basically invented the modern activist judge. You said something interesting. You think that one of the reasons why RFK Jr. didn't answer my question or dodged it is because he's afraid that it would reveal that he wants somebody more in the Sotomayor tradition. And by the way, I pick presidents primarily on who they're going to put on the Supreme Court. That's like a top two issue. It's like Border Supreme Court. Final thoughts, Mark.

Yeah. In 2016, I think the main reason President Trump was elected in part was his list that you've pointed out. It showed the American people what he was going to do. Late breakers went for Trump based on the Supreme Court.

He knows that a lot of people he's trying to appeal to, which is not the hard left, that is Bobby Kennedy or Robert F. Kennedy, are going to be turned off if he's talking about left wing judges. And so I do think it's critically important. It's the last line of defense in our republic is the Supreme Court. It's a wonder. It's it's it's it's it's it's a honest organization, unlike a lot of these other like the legislature today needs to be protected. The attacks on the justices, the attacks on the court need to be you need to be pushed back on because their lives are designed to undermine the Supreme Court today.

And it is. Trump got three boy. God gave us a gift. He gave us three justices.

And you just think about it, you know, three and four years and they're all pretty good. I mean, Gorsuch sometimes does stuff that upsets me, but it's generally really good. And Clarence Thomas is the leader of it is the Thomas court.

And we don't have time, Mark. But you can know somebody best by who spends the most time of him. Even those that disagree love Thomas. They love him from the people that work in the janitorial positions in the Supreme Court to his fellow justices.

They all think Clarence Thomas is a class act and they love him. Mark, thank you so much. Merry Christmas. Thanks, Charlie. Merry Christmas. Thanks so much for listening, everybody. Email us as always. Freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com.
