It has been quite a week. 20 hours of travel to London, Oxford, Cambridge, and back. I know. I know you're all very disappointed I wasn't arrested, but I tried. I tried my best. I went on one of their biggest news programs, JB News. GB News. Yeah. Right. GB News. And I said that it's not compatible with Western values. And it went very viral. And it was so funny. The uh, the production team afterwards at GB News was like, "Wow, you said that." I'm like, "Wow, you guys are so British. You should spend some time in America."
Our Overton window has moved a lot. The UK is very important to talk about, not just because of what's happening in the UK, but also the ramifications here. The UK culturally felt like America before Donald Trump went down the golden escalator. They're in the abyss, but culturally there is this kind of silent, are we allowed to say this? Are we allowed to challenge this? Are we allowed to talk about this? Are we allowed to question this?
And Donald Trump would be in the history books for so many reasons, for isolating the Chinese Communist Party, for shining light on the southern border. But one thing I don't think he gets enough credit for, one thing that I think that gets forgotten in the story of Donald Trump, which by the way, we are now coming up on a decade of Donald Trump. Next month will be 10 years since he went down the golden escalator. A decade of complete domination of the Western mind for 10 years. And it's fitting that I went to Oxford and Cambridge and spent time in London before that 10-year mark because it feels so similar. Because once Donald Trump went down the golden escalator, he gave people permission to speak. He gave people permission to talk.
President Trump said things like anchor babies. Remember, President Donald Trump openly ran on a Muslim ban into the United States of America in December of 2015. He said rapists were coming over the border. You couldn't say that. They flipped out. He said that we're being invaded. He said that we're being replaced, and people were losing their mind. But the benefit of what Donald Trump did is he courageously moved that Overton window with force and courage. People say he's nothing but just a narcissistic, overly self-indulgent person, but only someone who believes in himself as much as Donald Trump could have moved that Overton window because the criticisms didn't get to him. He says, "No, I'm going to double down on the fact that they're bringing rapists in this country, and I'm tripling down." He took the slings and the arrows for the rest of us. And he basically created cover fire for millions of people like myself and you to then be able to talk. Because if Donald Trump is saying it and then the media is covering it, then other people get the courage to say the same thing. Then other people get the permission culturally to be able to ask the right questions. And then if he gets elected saying it, whoa. And then he goes into exile. And then he gets elected with a popular vote win and an electoral vote landslide. And we're in a place in this country where we can now say the things that otherwise people were terrified to say. We could dive deep into the correct issues.
It was once verboten in America to even say that DEI and affirmative action might be choking productivity. It was verboten during Floyd Palooza to say that we should not have disparate impact as the core legal theory. And Donald Trump changed all of that. And the UK feels as a country that deep down they want that. They want someone to give them permission, and no one is. And only somebody as popular, as courageous, only somebody as morally clear as President Donald Trump would be able to do that. And I don't think he gets enough credit for that. He gets a lot of credit for his policy accomplishments. He gets a lot of credit for remaking the Republican party, but in so many ways, he made America speak again.
If you're a homeowner, you need to listen to this. When's the last time you checked on your home title? That's the legal proof that you own your house. If you're like me, the answer is never. The problem is in today's AI and cyber world, scammers are stealing home titles, and your equity is the target. Here's how it works. Criminals forge your signature on one document, use a fake notary stamp, pay a small fee with your county, and boom, your home title has been transferred out of your name. Then they take out loans using your equity, or even sell your property. You won't even know it's happened until you get a collection or a foreclosure notice. That's why you need to stop what you're doing and find out today if you're already a victim. Use my promo code Kirk at hometitlelock.com to make sure your title is still in your name.

For 10 years, we have had more robust discussions about the downfall of America and its core reasons and its causes. And we take it for granted. I'm telling you, visiting that totalitarian—that unfortunately the UK has become—and it's tragic. I don't say that with glibness. I don't say that with delight. It is sad. Britain is why we exist. It's like going back to the life force, and it's chilling and it's depressing. Let's play cut 318. This clip has been seen tens of millions of times. Play cut 318.
Have you heard of a lady called Lucy Connelly since you've been here? Of course. I talked about her yesterday, and no one knew who or what I was talking about in Cambridge. Who are we talking about? Who the students didn't know? I mentioned her because I did the research. My team did an amazing job, and I think she just had her petition denied in the last hour or so today. It's Tuesday today. She's had her appeal denied. So she's going to be carrying out her two and a half year sentence for solitary tweets. So outrageous. She deleted them four hours later.
What's your take on the whole situation? Well, I'm going to try to get the US State Department involved. I don't know if you know what their bandwidth is here, but I'm sorry. Like, again, I'm speaking as a citizen, not as a US government official. I just want to be very clear. Like, is this a way that a liberal democracy and an ally of the United States acts? Just to be clear, what she said would not result in any prison time in America. I don't like what she said, but she showed contrition. Well, there are two parts. The first part where she said like, "I don't want immigrants in my country." Perfectly acceptable. That's fine. They can say that. You're allowed to have that opinion. So, I'm saying that that is a separate issue that I will talk about, where in the UK 30 people a day are arrested for offensive social media posts in the UK. 30 people a day. This woman is going to serve two and a half years in prison for an offensive social media post that she deleted and apologized for. Yep. They invented free speech, sent it back to our country. There's so much wrong with that country, and it is not worthy of making fun of. I mean, you can have some laughs and some comedy, but it is depressing. It is dark. And I came back literally kissing the ground when I came back from London yesterday because there are a lot of problems with America. But let me give you two things that I think we should be thankful for that we don't notice. Of course, freedom of speech, number one. And then number two, the spirit of America. When we have a problem, we believe we can solve it. There is this entrepreneurialism. There is this grit. There is this pioneer spirit. And in Britain, they are defeated in their soul. They're like, "Cheers, mate. Country is done. Let's go drink." What we have is unique and it's a blessing from the Lord.
