00:01:25.000Joining us now is someone who I really trust and admire.
00:01:29.000He's a great American and someone who can help us navigate this uncertainty that we're seeing politically and also make sense of what's happening in the Middle East.
00:01:36.000It is Ambassador Rick Grenell and former DNI chief as well.
00:02:22.000They're going to get a bounce from their campaign.
00:02:24.000They've got some problems, and we are going to have to really highlight the problems because we know the media is not going to do it.
00:02:30.000We've got to stop asking the media to play fair.
00:02:33.000We know they're not going to play fair.
00:02:34.000We just need to point out their hypocrisies.
00:02:37.000But at their convention, they've really got a meltdown between the pro-Israel voices, the very few evangelicals, And others that are fighting for pro-Israel issues within the Democratic Party and the Hamas wing of the party.
00:02:54.000The Hamas wing of the Democratic Party is loud and strong and it's growing.
00:02:59.000And they just knocked out Shapiro in contention for the vice president nomination because he was too pro-Israel for them.
00:03:30.000We need to concentrate on Tim's words.
00:03:33.000They've got some crazy stuff out there.
00:03:35.000I mean, Kamala Harris I know well from being here in California, and she wants to end red meat because she thinks it's bad for the environment.
00:03:43.000That's not going to work in Wisconsin or Michigan or Pennsylvania.
00:03:47.000We need to take our time, concentrate on her words, This is the most radical far-left ticket ever in my entire lifetime.
00:05:43.000And so she hasn't been vetted and all of her work and all of the things that she supported literally are a goldmine for people who want common sense because they're going to see this explosive attitude that she has towards the border, towards DEI programs, towards businesses, towards law and order.
00:06:22.000I wish he was still in Sacramento, but he is, you should follow him on, on social media because he knows Kamala's record better than anyone.
00:06:31.000He served in Sacramento with her and he is every single day highlighting her record back in Sacramento.
00:06:50.000And so just we could do this on air or off air, Rick, what would we be looking for?
00:06:53.000And just on the surface level, she let violent criminals go free.
00:06:57.000And you're right, she is bringing this up as the primary thing.
00:07:00.000The $50 million future forward pack or whatever ad is she's a tough on crime prosecutor, which means, by the way, the country actually wants Tough on crime policies?
00:07:10.000She wouldn't be running with that if the tone of the country was that.
00:07:13.000And it's so fake that the Democrat Party is pretending as if they are legitimate or that they are trustworthy when it comes to cleaning up crime or keeping our streets safe.
00:08:14.000That was literally the moment where conservatives missed the boat and we should have said, no, I don't care what you call it.
00:08:20.000I don't care what kind of a nice name you put on ignoring federal law.
00:08:24.000But if we decided as conservatives to pick and choose which federal laws we were going to follow and create safe havens for places to say, you can't prosecute people who ignore the federal law.
00:09:01.000She knew who George Gascon was in San Francisco when he was the prosecutor, district attorney, the law enforcement head there in San Francisco.
00:09:18.000After literally creating havoc in San Francisco, he moved to Los Angeles and guess what?
00:09:24.000Kamala Harris endorsed him, encouraged him, raised money for him.
00:09:29.000You talk about the poster child of taking on DEI and pushing it forward to go against common sense and to undermine the rule of law.
00:09:40.000George Gascogne has ruined San Francisco and Los Angeles while collecting money and support from Kamala Harris.
00:09:46.000If you don't think that as president she's not going to go through all of our major cities and do the same thing, install a George Gascogne type of a law enforcement person, You are crazy.
00:10:00.000She is going to take the top 50 cities and just pick them off and make sure that we have chaos amongst the laws that she doesn't agree with.
00:10:20.000I run an organization called Fix California.
00:10:23.000Go to FixCalifornia.com and we are doing what Florida did.
00:10:28.000Digitally finding conservatives who are unregistered to vote and we're finding them.
00:10:32.000And I'll just give you a little stat here, Charlie.
00:10:35.000For $22 million, you could flip Los Angeles County by finding enough conservatives sitting on the sidelines.
00:10:44.000Remember, 50% of our community is not even registered to vote.
00:10:49.00050% of the people are sitting on the sidelines.
00:10:51.000We take $22 million to find all of the conservatives in L.A.
00:10:55.000County, register them to vote, flip the county, you flip the state, and imagine if California became a red state, even a purple state, what that does to the national map.
00:12:27.000Rick, how do we force Kamala Harris to take a question, let alone questions throughout this campaign?
00:12:34.000Look, we got to have reporters who are interested in this.
00:12:39.000So maybe it's just reporters on the right, but they've got to follow her and hound her.
00:12:44.000And we've got to highlight the fact to every single mainstream legacy media reporter who is promoting Kamala's messages, whether it's videos or Just tweets or campaign events.
00:13:01.000We have to hound them and tell them that it is unacceptable in America to promote messages from a politician who is hiding from actually back and forth questioning.
00:14:12.000We can't allow The New York Times, The Washington Post and CNN and others to push one-way messaging because it is totally propaganda and we should call it that.
00:14:54.000And so when we came in, when the United States government had a new leader, when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came in, they did two things, Charlie.
00:15:04.000They did two things that funded this Islamic regime.
00:15:09.000One is they dropped sanctions on Iran.
00:15:12.000And between dropping sanctions, doing credit and cash relief, They gave billions of dollars to the Islamic regime in Iran.
00:15:22.000The second thing they did is, remember, the Biden-Harris team spent $6 billion to get five hostages back, five people that were held against their will.
00:15:36.000This was a hostage exchange for $6 billion.
00:15:40.000What do you expect when you give 10 to 12 billion dollars to the radical regime in Tehran.
00:15:48.000What do you think they're going to do with it?
00:16:21.000Our friends in the Arab American community throughout Detroit and throughout Phoenix, which are the two cities in America, the two swing states that have the largest cities of Arab Americans, They know that Iran is the problem.
00:16:36.000When you talk about Donald Trump delivering peace and peace agreements, and what do you expect when you fund Iran, those are two powerful messages that we say to the evangelicals in America, we say to the pro-Israel Jewish Americans, and we also say that same message, those same two messages, To Arab Americans, and they love it.
00:16:59.000They understand the problem when you say that.
00:17:02.000We're not trying to be duplicitous and say two different things to evangelicals and Arab Americans.
00:17:55.000Hey everybody, Charlie Kirk here as we gear up for another important election year.
00:17:58.000Remember that we vote every day with our dollar.
00:18:00.000One of the best ways to support America is by buying from local farms and ranches.
00:18:04.000Good Ranchers makes this easy by delivering 100% American meat to your door.
00:18:09.000When you shop with Good Ranchers, you're not just getting the best meat for your family, but also supporting American farmers and ranchers.
00:18:15.000This year, instead of buying imported meat, cast your vote for American agriculture and local economy.
00:18:20.000I've used Good Ranchers meat for quite some time and they never disappoint.
00:18:23.000Whatever your choice of protein, you'll be pleased if you cast a vote for Good Ranchers.
00:18:28.000Use code KIRK for $25 off your order and your choice of free chicken breasts, ground beef, bacon, or wild-caught salmon for a year.
00:18:54.000Joining us now is Tom Behrens, who is a former National Guardsman, and you've been telling the story about Walz's military service and the truth there.
00:19:28.000He was a different first sergeant, but you know, I don't, I don't think he was anything exceptional, but when it came time to deploy, we did deploy to Europe.
00:19:38.000He was in Italy and I was in England as first sergeants.
00:19:42.000And we, you know, the soldiers all joked that it was the European vacation, which it wasn't very easy.
00:19:49.000I mean, we, we fell in and did security on air bases there.
00:19:52.000And, you know, we had, we had normal Air Force hours and they treat you like a human in the Air Force.
00:19:57.000So we, you know, we more or less work eight to five or where we were around the clock, but I mean, it was still a very, very decent deployment.
00:20:05.000We came back and then, uh, when it came time to, you know, the unit the next spring and in 04, March of 04, one of the 125 got got notified that they were warning order to prepare to go to Iraq.
00:20:25.000And Kim Walls was the acting Command Sergeant Major at that time.
00:20:30.000And May rolled around and he, the rumor was out there that he turned in his paperwork and turned in his equipment and walked out the door and quit on all of the soldiers in the battalion.
00:20:44.000So he just quit on all the... So what was the circumstances?
00:21:38.000And go there and try to keep them safe and bring them all back home alive so they can live in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
00:21:45.000They don't want to be the person that is known for being the coward that when the call came to, hey, this is the United States, we're going to Iraq, and then the guy's like, well, screw you, I got better things to do, which is exactly what he did.
00:22:00.000So he signed up to be a Sergeant Major Academy, which implied that he agreed to serve at least an additional two years after finishing it.
00:22:08.000But instead, he simply quit the Academy and he gave up a promotion that he'd received.
00:22:16.000It's fair because in the fall of 04, he was conditionally promoted to Command Sergeant Major, which basically says You need to do these conditions.
00:22:27.000And if you do not accomplish these conditions, your, your promotion is null and void.
00:22:37.000The Academy for Reservists is basically, you have two years to accomplish non-resident correspondent forces, and you got to give speeches and different things.
00:22:50.000And he did most of that when he was in Europe.
00:22:52.000You know, he had lots of time there, so he got it accomplished.
00:22:56.000But then you go to Fort Bliss for a two-week resident phase, and then, you know, once that's accomplished, then you're a graduate.
00:23:03.000But once you graduate, you still got to put two years in, more or less for the Army and all the taxpayers to get their money out of you for all the education they gave you for doing that course.
00:23:14.000I mean, we wasted a year or more of Of whatever correspondence course, time of all the instructors and everything for him, and he just pulled the plug and didn't do it.
00:23:26.000So help me understand, what happened to the unit after he left?
00:23:49.000And we need to, we need to get ready to go to Camp Shelby and train.
00:23:53.000We had six months of training in Camp Shelby.
00:23:55.000And I can honestly say that by the time we were done with that, I think everybody wanted to get the hell out of there and get to Iraq because you know, it's not the nicest place down there either, but prepares you for being in a hostile environment where you're, you're hot and you're sticky and you're miserable and you've got bugs and you know, you ain't getting shot at, but you've got all the other stuff.
00:24:14.000And then we went overseas, and we were supposed to be in Iraq for a year, but we ended up being in there when the sectarian violence hit.
00:24:21.000So we got extended, and we were in country for 17 months.
00:24:25.000We got extended for six months, but they cut it off about a month, I think, at the end.
00:24:31.000So you're, amongst the other amazing people you served with, what is the general consensus and opinion of Tim Walz as he goes around and brags about his military service and tries to use it to score political points?
00:24:46.000I would say the general consensus is out there and it's probably, I'd be surprised if it wasn't 99% against what he did.
00:24:53.000There's a couple out there that, well, he was a He had over 20 years and he could quit.
00:25:04.000You know, and granted, yeah, I could have quit too.
00:25:07.000And I had over 20 years and I actually did retire and I got back in.
00:25:11.000And then I, then I went to Iraq and I'm not proving my own warrants.
00:25:15.000There's a lot of people that did that.
00:25:24.000You know, and that's where, What he did with, there's very few that have any time.
00:25:30.000I talked to a lady yesterday and she said when he was congressman down here there was a Vietnam veteran that would see him and he'd go to talk to him and Tim would run away because he was scared of this Vietnam vet because the vet was giving him hell for being a traitor.
00:25:47.000Do you think it's, your reaction to the criticism that he is basically benefiting from stolen valor?
00:25:55.000Yes, I actually brought that out with it because, you know, the rank of command sergeant major is, you're like the 12 point bucket for the deer out there.
00:26:03.000I mean, you're, you're the big dog and, and it's a very prestigious thing.
00:26:08.000I mean, you go and it's like him in a speech now saying he's a command sergeant major.
00:26:14.000When people hear that, they're like, well, wow, you got, you got to be the top, top person out there.
00:26:20.000I mean, there's only one out of 500 soldiers in a battalion You know, as a whole, as you know, an average that gets that right.
00:26:28.000I mean, there's usually five first sergeants, they're in charge of a hundred.
00:26:32.000But I mean, an E9 Command Sergeant Major is in charge of five of them.
00:26:37.000And that's one of the only reasons I can see that he does what he does, because he knows it's a political point for people.
00:26:47.000And you know, but it's just a huge lie.
00:26:49.000I mean, I just heard Several clips of him saying he was a Command Sergeant Major and he was a retired one.
00:26:55.000And the sad thing is he should correct anybody that calls him a retired Command Sergeant Major because he is not one because the order is out there where he got reduced to Master Sergeant.
00:29:21.000We had last month saving babies with preborn by providing ultrasounds.
00:29:25.000And we're doing again this year what we did last year.
00:29:27.000We're going to stand for life because remaining silent in the face of the most radically pro-death administration is not an option.
00:29:32.000As Sir Edmund Burke said, the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing, and we're not going to do nothing.
00:29:38.000Your gift to preborn will give a girl the truth about what's happening in her body so that she can make the right choice.
00:30:15.000Go to charliekirk.com and click on the pre-born banner.
00:30:20.000So, Tim Walz is a creep, we know that.
00:30:23.000And he mandated that in boys' restrooms, that there would be tampons in boys' restrooms.
00:30:32.000So Hillary Clinton has now tweeted out, thank you Hillary Clinton for making this an even bigger story by the way, everything Hillary Clinton touches dies.
00:30:46.000She says, how nice of Trump camp to help publicize Governor Tim Walz's compassionate and common sense policy of providing free menstrual products to students in Minnesota public schools.
00:31:57.000This is Governor Walz tweeting out a picture of genderqueer, which has graphic material of, let's just say, very intimate sexual behaviors between minors.
00:32:59.000This is a guy who's proposed shipping more manufacturing jobs to China, who wants to make the American people more reliant on garbage energy instead of good American energy, and has proposed defunding the police just as Kamala Harris does.
00:33:15.000They make an interesting tag team because, of course, Tim Walz allowed rioters to burn down Minneapolis in the summer of 2020, and then the few who got caught, Kamala Harris helped bail them out of jail.
00:33:25.000It is more instructive for what it says about Kamala Harris that she doesn't care about the border, she doesn't care about crime, she doesn't care about American energy, and most importantly, she doesn't care about the Americans who have been made to suffer under those policies.
