00:01:25.000Don't worry, there's nothing to see here, just kind of a very normal news story.
00:01:29.000Michael Stenger, the Senate sergeant-in-arms responsible for securing the upper chamber of Congress during the January 6th riot, has died at age 71.
00:01:37.000There has not been an official cause of death related to the public, released to the public.
00:01:41.000Following a long career in Secret Service, Stenger was nominated to the position of the Senate Sergeant-in-Arms in 2018.
00:01:48.000Stanger was criticized following the attack on the nation's capital, with many arguing he should have done more to secure the building from the hordes of oncoming protesters.
00:01:57.000As the Washington Examiner reports, it took four hours for the National Guard to show up, by which time the Capitol had already been breached.
00:02:03.000Speaking to a Senate committee after the attack, Stenger offered his thoughts on what could have been done better.
00:02:07.000Quote, there's an opportunity to learn lessons for the events on January 6th.
00:02:10.000Quote, investigations should be considered as to funding and travel as what appears to be professional agitators.
00:02:15.000First Amendment rights should always be considered in conjunction with these investigations.
00:02:19.000Quote, law enforcement coordination of the capital region should be reviewed to determine what can be done in a more efficient and productive manner.
00:02:26.000Intelligence collection and dissemination and training and concepts of the use of force must be consistent.
00:02:32.000Senate Sergeant in Arms in charge of security during Jan 6 riot dead at 71.
00:03:07.000The administration said that they weren't that worried about inflation, and then that changed.
00:03:14.000I think that there can be no higher priority than what we have been clear is our highest priority, which is bringing down the costs and the prices as much as we possibly can.
00:04:01.000And it's one of our highest priorities as an administration.
00:04:04.000All the while, Joe Biden is in Europe reading off of cards, telling him exactly what to do.
00:04:10.000But there's a very interesting kind of drip campaign that is continuing by the Democrats and the media.
00:04:16.000They realize how unpopular Joe Biden is.
00:04:19.000They realize how compromised Joe Biden is.
00:04:22.000And while Joe Biden is abroad at the G7, the New York Times says there's real doubts about Joe Biden's capacity to serve a second four-year term.
00:04:35.000He is deeply frustrated by what he views as the sort of lack of respect from the press and from also from his fellow Democrats about his intent to run for reelection.
00:04:45.000He can't figure out why folks won't take yes for an answer.
00:05:21.000His approval rating is in the low 30s, his disapproval rating in 50 or 60.
00:05:26.000Now, I'm going to keep on reinforcing this point, which is we have to be clear that it's about the Democrat Party, not about Joe Biden.
00:05:35.000That we must make this broader than just Joe Biden, because the minute they get rid of Joe Biden, people will say, oh, well, I still support all these policies.
00:05:41.000No, it's the policies, it's the ideas, it's the tactics, it's the arrogance, it's the smugness.
00:05:46.000It's about the Democrats more than just Joe Biden himself.
00:05:51.000Otherwise, just replacing it will be able to do everything.
00:07:30.000The New York Post says Joe Biden is grumpy these days.
00:07:33.000A White House insider shared with Newsmax.
00:07:35.000The high-level Democrat who has known Biden for years said the president spends most of his White House meetings complaining about his low approval ratings, bad press, and the fact he's not getting credit for what's going right.
00:07:47.000Biden is said to be so cranky about the Ukraine matter that he's moved almost all federal oversight of the Russian war from his young national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, to the chief of staff, Ron Clain.
00:08:00.000This is the same thing that happened with Afghanistan when Joe and Klain decided to control the flow, looped out of state, the Pentagon, and even Jake.
00:08:10.000So, what does this mean for the upcoming midterms?
00:08:13.000Well, as the midterms continue to pop up and we have primaries across the country, literally today, it's important to note and recognize and realize that the Democrats know what is going to happen coming into November.
00:08:28.000They know it at a fundamental and a very intimate level.
00:08:33.000And they're willing to take it on the chin as well as Joe Biden is displaced.
00:08:38.000And that means a year from today, I do not believe that Joe Biden will be declared for president.
00:08:44.000I think Joe Biden will finish off his term, but the numbers are just irreversible.
00:08:49.000He's showing zero signs of life, period, whatsoever.
00:08:54.000Any sort of core base and constituency has been completely and totally obliterated.
00:08:59.000Even his own base that is supposed to be loyal to him has fallen apart.
00:09:04.000The New York Times writes: earlier this month, when Senator Berndie Sanders said he would not challenge Biden in 2024, Biden was so relieved he invited the former rival to a dinner at the White House the next night.
00:09:15.000Biden had been eager for signs of loyalty, and they have been few and far between.
00:09:20.000Facing intensifying skepticism about his capacity to run for re-election when he'll be nearly 82, the president and his top aides have been stung by the questions and his plans, irritated at what they see as a lack of respect for their party.
00:09:35.000Biden just isn't intending to run his aides, argue, but he's laying the groundwork to building resources to the Democrat National Committee.
00:11:41.000Every branch of the military is struggling to make its 2022 recruiting calls, officials say.
00:11:47.000With record low number of Americans eligible to serve and few of those willing to do it, it's quote, is this the year, the question of sustainability of the all-volunteer force?
00:12:03.000Every branch of the U.S. military is struggling to meet its fiscal year 2022 recruiting goals.
00:12:09.000The officials said the Pentagon top leaders are now scrambling for ways to find new recruits to fill out the ranks of the all-volunteer force.
00:12:16.000Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Deputy Secretary Kathleen Hicks consider the shortfall a serious issue.
00:12:21.000Yeah, maybe you should have thought of that before you wanted to mandate an experimental gene therapy and kick out active duty personnel, which Republicans did nothing to oppose.
00:12:31.000This is a start of a long drought for military recruiting, said retired General Thomas Spohr of the Heritage Foundation.
00:12:38.000He said the military has had not such a hard time signing recruits since 1973.
00:12:43.000Quote, 2022 is the year we question the sustainability of the all-volunteer force.
00:12:48.000Now, the NBC News article continues, and they say, oh, it's because of the psychological trauma, quote, they think they're going to be physically or emotionally broken after serving.
00:13:09.000Rachel Levine and the new LGBTQIA plus regime in our military.
00:13:17.000And also, people want to enlist in a military that plays to win.
00:13:20.000Afghanistan was a humiliation from Lloyd Austin and Mark Milley.
00:13:26.000They don't want to be lectured by Mark Milley about white rage within the military.
00:13:31.000And by the way, where do you think most of the people in America who serve in our military, a point I have made repeatedly, and I don't hear other people in the conservative media that say this at all, which is the states that Washington, D.C. hates the most, the ones that they talk down to the most, are the ones that actually fill up your military.
00:13:52.000So for example, when Wanda Sykes comes out, who apparently is this comedian who I don't find to be funny, Cut 52, she says, oh, those middle states, the red stuff, hey, guess what, Wanda Sykes?
00:14:04.00065% of our military is composed from people from South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana.
00:14:14.000So don't be surprised all of a sudden when the white people, who you hate, the flyover people, who you hate, and the red stuff people who you hate say, you know what?
00:14:23.000I'm actually not going to go serve in the military that has gay pride flags everywhere and makes me take an experimental gene vaccine.
00:14:41.000It's those states in the middle, that red stuff.
00:14:45.000Why do they get to tell us what to do when the majority of us live out, you know, New York, California, and we're paying for all this crap, really?
00:14:57.000No, you're not actually Wanda Sykes or whatever your name is, because Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Tennessee, they've paid for it disproportionately in blood.
00:15:11.000Yeah, you might make more money in California.
00:15:14.000You might have more financial institutions.
00:15:18.000But disproportionately, the American military is comprised of men and women from the American South.
00:15:26.000And when all of a sudden you start to turn the entire country into an open-air LGBTQ experiment, NASCAR has been conquered by the alphabet mafia.
00:15:35.000And then you push an experimental gene therapy, the vaccine, to kick out the most alpha male members of the military that don't want to take orders from some ridiculous measure.
00:15:46.000They're like, actually, no, I do believe in bodily autonomy.
00:15:48.000And then you get chirped at about my body, my choice.
00:15:51.000Don't be surprised that we have the lowest recruitment numbers of the military since Vietnam.
00:16:16.000They're willing to go, like Lindsey Graham.
00:16:18.000He wants to go deploy the U.S. military to every sovereign country and invade them just for sport.
00:16:24.000But maybe Lindsey Graham should realize that the fighting force, the kind of pawns on the chessboard that you like to push around, maybe they don't want to serve the gay flag or the BLM flag.
00:16:37.000Maybe they wanted to serve the American flag.

00:17:28.000With us to help unpack what's happening on the southern border and also recruitment of new people into Border Patrol is the great Chad Wolf.
00:18:10.000And this is a particularly bad incident that occurred just outside of San Antonio, where what appears to be a number of illegal aliens who came across that border illegally were in the back of a tractor trailer truck.
00:18:22.000And obviously the heat in South Texas is pretty unbearable this time of year.
00:18:27.000And unfortunately, those individuals, some of those individuals passed away.
00:18:30.000But I think what it shows you is the incentive factor that this administration's policies along that border have caused, right?
00:18:38.000Where individuals from all across the world, but particularly in Mexico and Central America and other places, are trying to get to the United States as quickly as they can under a Biden administration policies because they know if they get here, then they have a very good chance of staying and remaining here in the United States, despite having no legal reason to remain here because of this administration's policy.
00:19:00.000So I think unfortunately, you're going to see more and more types of these incidents as we go forward.
00:19:05.000So here's what, first of all, I just want to reiterate, though, that's a torturous death.
00:19:40.000Well, I don't know that we have enough information to really make that determination just yet.
00:19:44.000I think there's a lot of law enforcement investigation, investigative work that's continuing.
00:19:48.000So, you got to probably have two different scenarios here.
00:19:50.000One, they came across the border illegally in the back of that tractor trailer truck, and then they are being transported to other parts of the country.
00:19:59.000It could be there in Texas, but it could also be elsewhere.
00:20:02.000And obviously, they succumb to the heat for a variety of other reasons.
00:20:06.000Or, two, what we also see is these migrants come over in groups, come across the border and in the desert and other locations.
00:20:15.000They then have a smuggler pick them up, and then they come together in large, you know, in large numbers at another predetermined location, and then perhaps got into that tractor, trailer, truck, and then to continue their journey elsewhere into the country.
00:20:30.000So, there's a couple of different scenarios at play here.
00:20:32.000I think the end result is the same, though, right?
00:20:35.000They're making this dangerous journey from south of the border, wherever that might be, to get here to the United States because they know if they get here, they won't be removed, right?
00:20:44.000We've heard it from the DHS secretary that if you come across that border and your only crime is simply crossing the border illegally, then you're not a priority for removal.
00:21:09.000But the fact of the matter is, the border is closed, which is in part why you see people trying to make this dangerous journey using smuggling networks.
00:21:46.000Like her reasoning doesn't make any sense.
00:21:48.000And I think this is just a larger symptom that if the press secretary of the White House doesn't have any idea what she's talking about, then I think a lot of other people don't have a lot of confidence that other parts of the administration know what they're talking about when it comes to the border.
00:22:06.000It's not secure, and they don't have operational control.
00:22:09.000Three things that they continue to say that they have.
00:22:12.000And I think most Americans will look at that border and say, we have 7,000 to 8,000 individuals crossing that border illegally every single day.
00:22:19.000So every two days, you have a 15,000-person caravan approaching that border and crossing illegally.
00:22:25.000And those are just the folks that we actually apprehend.
00:22:28.000So in no ways is the border closed and secure.
00:22:30.000And you can only imagine what that does to Border Patrol officers who are trying to man that border.
00:22:37.000It just sends a terrible, terrible message.
00:22:40.000And so when I went down to Yuma, I realized that some of these people want to be caught because of the policies that we put forward.
00:22:47.000You were part of the Trump administration's implementation of the Remain in Mexico policy.
00:22:52.000Can you talk about that and how the Biden regime basically is perfectly fine with people waltzing across the border?
00:23:00.000Border Patrol agent after border patrol agent that I spoke to, they basically said, look, we're just a paper processing organization.
00:23:15.000And, you know, unless they're from a specific country, we can pinpoint, they basically get released into the interior of the United States.
00:23:25.000So I think the asylum process, we talk about asylum, we talk about credible fear, it's all part of the same process.
00:23:31.000It's hopelessly broken at the moment, and it's being exploited and taken advantage of by the cartels and the smugglers because they coach these migrants on what to say and what to do where they get able to be released here in the United States.
00:23:50.000The Biden administration has the same set of facts, the same set of data, and they don't care.
00:23:55.000They don't care that it's being exploited and there's fraud in the system.
00:23:59.000And so what MPP or the Remain in Mexico program was designed was to root out that fraud to say, look, if you're going to apply for asylum here in the United States, that's fine.
00:24:08.000But what you don't have a right to is to be let into the interior of the country, never to show up for your court hearing.
00:24:18.000So we said, look, you're going to wait in Mexico and then we're going to parole you back into the United States to go to your court hearings.
00:24:25.000And you're going to have probably several of them.
00:24:29.000And each time you'll go back and forth, back and forth.
00:24:31.000But look, for those folks that were truly fearing for their lives and wanted that asylum protections that the U.S. could offer, well, then guess what?
00:24:38.000They're happy to stay in northern Mexico and wait.
00:24:41.000Those individuals that knew their asylum claim was bogus, that it was fraudulent, they had no interest in waiting to Mexico because that was not their end goal.
00:24:49.000And so you saw numbers start to dramatically reduce.
00:25:13.000I think what you see in the last 15 or 16 months now of this administration's policies is you have Border Patrol agents that are just frustrated beyond belief.
00:25:23.000These are folks that live along the border, that live in these border communities, and they've been staring at a crisis in the face now since almost day one of this administration with no end in sight.
00:26:52.000What we know is the data that they tell us, right?
00:26:55.000So it's somewhere between 7,000 and 8,000 a day are coming across that border.
00:26:59.000Those are just the ones that we apprehend.
00:27:01.000So you've got to think that there's probably another thousand to 2,000 that we never apprehend in a given day that we continue to see time and time and time again.
00:27:10.000But I think there's an immense amount of frustration with Secretary Mayorkas not being truthful to the American people, not being truthful to members of Congress when he's saying the border is closed and secure.
00:27:22.000And we know it's anything but that at the end of the day.
00:27:24.000And I think what the American people and members of Congress want is a strategy, a strategy to fix this problem.
00:27:30.000Quit admiring the problem and quit throwing your hands up and saying, well, we can't do anything about it.
00:27:35.000That's just kind of how it works until Congress changes the law.
00:27:40.000We showed them you can do something within the authorities that have been given to you.
00:27:45.000They just simply don't want to make hard decisions and they don't want to do their job at the end of the day.
00:27:49.000And I think it's impacting the vast majority of Americans, not only with the human suffering and toll, but also with the illegal narcotics that are coming across.
00:27:57.000You know, we're in a, I would say, a fentanyl crisis at the moment.
00:28:03.000I would say 90 to 95% of the fentanyls coming across that southern border using the same cartels and the same smugglers and the same traffickers.
00:28:24.000I think that's what the next governor of Arizona needs to do: bring in the former DHS squad, the good squad, not the bad squad, you and Homan, and just say, hey, what'd you guys do?
00:28:34.000You know, let's hire you as advisors and consultants.
00:28:37.000The federal government is a waste of time when it comes to the border.
00:29:43.000There's been many people that have probed it.
00:29:45.000For many reasons, he lived at a wealth scale that was disproportionate above his reported disclosed wealth.
00:29:53.000For example, the planes he flew, the places he had homes in.
00:29:58.000There's a mystery as to whether or not Jeffrey Epstein even had recordable trades or transactions in some of the places that he said he had offices in.
00:30:13.000We don't know the intricate details of it, but if you were a foreign intelligence operation and you wanted to try to get blackmail, wouldn't it make sense, wouldn't it rationally make sense to try to have someone that would try to get people into the snares of most compromised position, particularly with underaged women, videotape them, take photographs of them, and then be able to use those types of circumstances for potential blackmail.
00:31:48.000That is how long the sex trafficking ring has been going on for.
00:31:52.000Yeah, so here's just a dumb question because I haven't been following very closely.
00:31:55.000Why didn't someone ask a follow-up question, say who else was on the island and who raped you?
00:31:59.000Maybe that question was asked, and maybe it's just a short clip because I've been doing so many other stories, but I'm just kind of somewhat curious.
00:32:22.000Again, I don't know the details of that case as well as I probably even should.
00:32:26.000But if someone knows that information, please email me freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:32:30.000But Ghelane Maxwell just got 20 years in prison for what?
00:32:34.000Found guilty of five federal sex trafficking charges after a jury concluded she played a pivotal part in recruiting and grooming teenage girls to be sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein.
00:32:43.000So we still don't know the full client list.
00:32:45.000Wouldn't that be a concern of the government?
00:32:49.000We still don't know the entire client list.
00:33:01.000Why was the George Floyd trial really well covered and the Ghelaine Maxwell trial wasn't?
00:33:08.000Well, it's probable, in fact, it's very likely that Ghelaine Maxwell struck a deal not to talk through the inner workings of the government, got 20 years in prison, and she'll probably get a minimal security prison.
00:33:19.000She'll probably plea down for that, where nothing she did was violent, blah, And she'll get some form of a suite with internet access and a television.
00:33:27.000And she was originally supposed to be sentenced to 55, if I'm not mistaken, years in prison, which would have been the rest of her life.
00:33:34.000She could get out when she's 80 years old.
00:33:35.000With good behavior, she could serve, I think, 80% of the sentence at federal crimes.
00:33:40.000U.S. Circuit Judge Allison Nathan has sentenced Maxwell to 19 and a half years, reducing the possible maximum sentence from 55 years.
00:33:47.000That was the maximum potential sentence.
00:33:54.000And if the government was serious about finding out about a potential foreign intervention intelligence operation, which again is still speculation, I just want to make that very clear.
00:34:04.000I believe in the conjecture because none of this makes sense unless you were trying to compromise the top levels of American government finance, get them in uncompromising positions.
00:34:14.000Not exactly unheard of for foreign intelligence agencies to do that.
00:34:18.000Or at the minimum, they should just be protecting children, let alone uncovering whether or not our country was infiltrated to try to blackmail our own American leaders and presidents, regardless of political party.
