00:02:27.000 We're going to explore this topic.
00:02:29.000 It's extraordinary and we've asked the question before.
00:02:32.000 What is a citizen?
00:02:34.000 A citizen is different and distinctly separate than a serf, a subject or a slave.
00:02:42.000 A citizen means you are a co-ruler of your nation.
00:02:47.000 A citizen is somebody who is bought into the social contract, the fabric of the nation that they are in.
00:02:53.000 We are called to be good citizens.
00:02:55.000 In fact, being an active and alert citizen, I believe, is a moral prerogative, both biblically and also.
00:03:03.000 You could even make an argument just rooted in natural law, that being a citizen of your nation is a good thing.
00:03:10.000 Jeremiah 29, 7 says that demand the welfare of the nation that you are in, because your welfare is tied to your nation's welfare.
00:03:16.000 And when we talk about citizenship, it's important to recognize and realize that there's limitations on citizenship, that not everyone gets to be a citizen just because they want to be a citizen.
00:03:27.000 That citizenship, yes, you could be born into it, therefore you're tied to the prior social contract of your parents, or you must earn citizenship.
00:03:36.000 Now, when you decide to structure the fundamental elements of a society, it's fair to say that when you decide who should have political power, that citizens, the co-rulers, need to be the ones that decide who have political power.
00:03:50.000 Now, this might sound so unbelievably patently obvious that the people that are the ones in the society that are citizens, they and they alone are the ones that get to decide who's in power.
00:04:04.000 For example, the French, the Saudis, the Iranians, the Chinese, or the Philippine, the Filipinos, they don't get to decide who's our president.
00:04:14.000 They don't get to decide who your governor is.
00:04:16.000 That only American citizens get to decide who's actually in charge of America.
00:04:22.000 I know that sounds to be a radical thing to say in America today that only citizens should be voting in our elections.
00:04:32.000 Now, in California, illegals and non-citizens have been voting for quite some time in local elections.
00:04:37.000 In fact, this is not some conspiracy theory.
00:04:40.000 It's actually law.
00:04:41.000 They allow them to vote in local elections.
00:04:43.000 The New York Supreme Court has recently overturned a measure in New York that would have allowed non-citizens or illegals to vote in state elections.
00:04:53.000 And remarkably, there's controversy about this.
00:04:57.000 Incredibly, we are seeing a development and a theme that is emerging to the surface where mostly Democrats, most of the Democrats, I should say, and people on the left, say that it is wrong and immoral to say that only citizens should be able to vote in such elections.
00:05:16.000 Now, let's build out this moral argument further.
00:05:18.000 You see, borders matter.
00:05:20.000 Borders are where good ideas can begin and bad ideas end.
00:05:25.000 Borders are a physical line of demarcation of your nation. 0.79
00:05:30.000 Having sovereign nations is a guarantee towards peace, not these internationalist, globalist, borderless experiments.
00:05:38.000 The idea of a nation, especially a nation that has many parts, as the United States of America, actually allows people to feel more connected to their land and their fellow countrymen.
00:05:47.000 Now, what if I told you that there is a massive push from our own regime, the Biden regime, to upend and reverse this moral tradition of only citizens voting in our election?
00:06:03.000 In an extraordinary move, the Department of Justice has intervened in an Arizona law that will blow your mind, but it shows you exactly where we are as a country.
00:06:13.000 The Department of Justice sues Arizona over election law that requires proof of citizenship for federal voting.
00:06:21.000 A citizen is a co-owner or a co-ruler of a nation.
00:06:26.000 The idea that we get to be citizens is a profound miracle in the story and history of government.
00:06:34.000 The idea that we have a self-government, but we have limitations on that self-government.
00:06:39.000 For example, we don't get to vote in Brazilian elections.
00:06:42.000 We don't get to vote in Polish elections.
00:06:44.000 Hungarians don't get to vote in American elections.
00:06:47.000 You vote in the country that you are in.
00:06:50.000 But the Department of Justice finds a problem with that.
00:06:53.000 You see, if only Americans were voting in American elections, well, then those pesky Republicans might continue to win elections.
00:07:01.000 The Department of Justice wants to legally block a recently passed law in Arizona that requires proof of citizenship to vote in some federal elections.
00:07:12.000 This is from the New York Post.
00:07:15.000 The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit Tuesday to stop the legislation that was signed into law by Governor Ducey in March and is supposed to take effect at the beginning of next year.
00:07:26.000 Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clark in the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division said the Arizona law is a textbook violation of the National Registration Act that requires each state to establish federal election voting procedure, voting registration procedures.
00:07:44.000 The Biden Department of Justice is suing Arizona for saying, how dare you ask your voters to prove they're American citizens.
00:07:56.000 They continue by saying, quote, for nearly three decades, the National Voter Registration Act has helped move, helped to move states in the right direction by eliminating unnecessary requirements that have historically made it harder for eligible voters to access the registration rolls.
00:08:14.000 Quote, Arizona has passed a law that turns the clock back on progress by imposing unlawful and unnecessary requirements that would block eligible voters from the registration rolls for certain federal elections.
00:08:30.000 What requirement is that?
00:08:33.000 You mean that illegals should be on our voter rolls? 1.00
00:08:36.000 Yes, it's exactly what they mean.
00:08:38.000 According to the Department of Justice, they're saying in so many words, they believe foreign nationals who did not grow up here, that are not paying appropriate taxes, that broke the law to get into here, that trespassed into our country, that are illegally domiciled in our country, that are illegally harboring themselves in our country, that they should be able to vote in our elections.
00:09:01.000 Quote, the Justice Department will continue to use every available tool to protect all Americans' right to vote and to ensure that their voices are heard.
00:09:09.000 The question is, what is an American, according to the Department of Justice?
00:09:13.000 Is an American someone that is here or someone that is a citizen, that is either born here and then therefore connected to the social contract that pre-existed them, or someone that naturalized and went through a process to become a citizen of this great country.
00:09:30.000 Just coming here from Turkey or Azerbaijan or from Russia and walking across the line does not make you an American.
00:09:39.000 The Biden administration disagrees.
00:09:41.000 And this is the furtherance of what we call the divide in America.
00:09:46.000 What is America?
00:09:47.000 Is America a country or is America a colony?
00:09:51.000 You see, in a colony, being a member of a colony is easy.
00:09:54.000 You just got to pay the price of admission.
00:09:56.000 And it's just kind of a mixed bag of whomever you want it to be.
00:10:00.000 A country has to have requirements and prudence in saying, who do we allow into our nation? 1.00
00:10:08.000 Now, look, I've said many times that I believe immigration done properly, very limited, small amount of immigrants every year, can help the country grow into a beautiful and amazing state. 1.00
00:10:20.000 But the way we've done immigration has been foolish and wrong and immoral to the people that are here, to the people that are going to come here. 1.00
00:10:28.000 It brings down wages. 0.89
00:10:30.000 It has issues of assimilation, has cultural impact issues.
00:10:34.000 In fact, that's why I've said we have to have a moratorium on immigration, both legal and illegal, until we figure out what the heck is going on.
00:10:41.000 Now, why would Arizona pass such a law?
00:10:45.000 Well, because it has become very easy to get a driver's license in states like California and Arizona.
00:10:51.000 I just registered to vote in Arizona.
00:10:53.000 I think I missed the deadline for the primary, but I definitely get it on the general.
00:10:56.000 Just officially moved here and got my residency here as COVID kind of delayed a lot of that.
00:11:04.000 But on the Arizona voter registration form, it asks the question, are you a U.S. citizen?
00:11:11.000 Yes or no, under penalty of perjury or felony, a felony.
00:11:15.000 It also asks for your driver's license identification number.
00:11:18.000 And it's not just conceivable, it is practical to believe that the very voter registration form that I filled out yesterday, in Arizona, filled out by an illegal, absent the citizenship question at the end, with the driver's license identification number there put in place, that you could have a lot of non-citizens registering to vote in our elections.
00:11:44.000 And so under a 1996 Arizona law, anyone seeking a driver's license must prove identity and legal presence in the country.
00:11:53.000 The same requirement exists for non-operator identification cards issued by ADOT.
00:11:59.000 So illegals cannot get driver's licenses in Arizona.
00:12:01.000 I know they can get them in Texas.
00:12:04.000 They can get in-state tuition in Texas, but they can certainly get them in California.
00:12:08.000 I know for sure they can get them in California.
00:12:11.000 So to be able to require proof of citizenship is necessary to just fix the most practical part of our elections.
00:12:22.000 Quote, the article continues.
00:12:25.000 Arizona wants to require applicants to show documents that prove they are a citizen before they can vote in a presidential election or vote by mail in any federal election when applicants use the uniform federal registration.
00:12:36.000 The DOJ argued that the new law ignored a 2013 Supreme Court ruling that shot down an earlier attempt in 2005 for Arizona to improve similar documentary proof of citizenship on residents that want to vote in federal elections.
00:12:50.000 The Department of Justice also argued the law violates the Civil Rights Act.
00:12:54.000 Interesting how it always goes back to the civil rights regime, doesn't it?
00:12:57.000 Of 1964 because it mandates election officials to reject voter registration forms that have minor errors.
00:13:03.000 Clark sent a June 27th letter to Arizona Attorney General Mark Bernovich threatening litigation, but the Department of Justice hopes to resolve the issue, quote, amicably and avoid protracted litigation.
00:13:14.000 In a letter Bernovich sent Clark on July 1st, obtained by Fox News, he said the newly passed law, quote, was common sense and questioned if the federal government is, quote, attempting to undermine our sovereignty and destabilize our election infrastructure.
00:13:26.000 That's well said.
00:13:29.000 Not only is this happening, they're giving free rooms and transportation for those illegally entering our country. 0.99
00:13:36.000 And now the Department of Justice wants to give them a gateway to potentially vote.
00:13:41.000 You cannot have a nation while you have foreigners able to vote in your elections, period. 1.00
00:13:50.000 You are no longer a country.
00:13:52.000 You become a colony.
00:13:54.000 If I'm able to vote in Nicaraguan elections or able to vote in Japanese elections as a non-citizen, that by definition destroys the sovereignty and their own moral, self-directed, self-governing prerogative to be able to decide who's in their country and who's not in their country.
00:14:11.000 The Democrats have moved the Overton window so effectively where they want you to believe that anybody should be able to come into America for any reason whatsoever.
00:14:20.000 That's not right.
00:14:22.000 There must be a process to come in, and we the citizens, that's right, we the citizens can decide whether to put a pause on immigration, increase immigration, have no immigration at all.
00:14:33.000 Every sane country feels this way, by the way.
00:14:36.000 That immigration must serve the nation state first and foremost and the people that are already there. 0.86
00:14:45.000 Assimilation is an act of patriotic affection.
00:14:49.000 What happens when you have millions of people that don't assimilate?
00:14:52.000 Maybe you should press pause and say, we're not going to be a country any longer.
00:14:55.000 The Biden regime is intentionally inserting themselves by saying that if you ask anyone to prove they're a citizen of the country, it's somehow racist against the Civil Rights Act.
00:15:06.000 I want to just say the episode we did yesterday, I was so touched by many of you that emailed us about our show yesterday on antidepressants and how antidepressants are having an incredibly damaging effect potentially on our nation's young people and how they're being over-prescribed.
00:15:24.000 Again, judgment-free zone.
00:15:26.000 I'm not here to say people are making mistakes.
00:15:27.000 I'm merely making a societal observation that I think largely goes, let's just say, ignored on that.
00:15:35.000 So I want to thank all of you for that.
00:15:37.000 So to kind of continue on this topic we're talking about, here's a story that was back in February, but it builds out the point.
00:15:44.000 Non-citizen voting rights gain traction as immigrants vote in San Francisco Unified School Board recall.
00:15:52.000 Quote, the push for voting rights to be extended to non-citizens.
00:15:56.000 You notice how they call them non-citizens?
00:15:59.000 So let me just ask a question.
00:16:00.000 If there's a tourist from Tokyo visiting San Francisco, can we just register them to vote? 0.95
00:16:05.000 They're a non-citizen. 1.00
00:16:06.000 They've been here for three hours.
00:16:08.000 Like, hey, you, why don't you go vote in our local school board election?
00:16:11.000 No, because they have no ties to the land of which they're in.
00:16:14.000 Now, some of you might say, well, Charlie, they live here and they work here.
00:16:18.000 Completely irrelevant.
00:16:20.000 Are they a citizen of the country?
00:16:22.000 And if not, we have a naturalization process that allows people to go through that.
00:16:26.000 Now, I do not believe in mass amnesty at all.
00:16:29.000 But at the very least, people that go through a naturalization process, at least there something to make them go to become an American citizen.
00:16:39.000 At a time when 19 states have passed more restrictive voter laws, it's so deceivingly written by ABC News, have passed more restrictive voter laws to make it more difficult for United States citizens to cast a ballot, there is a push to expand voting rights in local elections to non-citizens in cities both large and small across the country.
00:16:58.000 Siva Raj says, quote, everybody wants the same thing.
00:17:02.000 They want their kids to have a good education and they want them to have a successful life.
00:17:06.000 So let's play this out.
00:17:08.000 If I were to take, if my wife and I were to go move to Zurich and just say, hey, we're going on vacation to Zurich.
00:17:14.000 We're just going to get a traveler's visa and not leave.
00:17:17.000 Switzerland's a very wealthy country.
00:17:19.000 Switzerland's a beautiful country.
00:17:20.000 Switzerland's one of my favorite countries.
00:17:22.000 And all of a sudden we said, you know what?
00:17:23.000 We want benefits.
00:17:24.000 We want to be able to vote.
00:17:25.000 You know what the Swiss would say?
00:17:27.000 Get out.
00:17:29.000 You're not a citizen of Switzerland.
00:17:31.000 You came here because you wanted to take advantage of our nation.
00:17:35.000 If my wife and I just moved to Budapest, Hungary, say, you know what?
00:17:39.000 It's nice here.
00:17:40.000 We like how they're strict immigration. 0.96
00:17:41.000 It's a mostly Christian country.
00:17:44.000 And we say, we just want to vote here.
00:17:45.000 And they'd say, wait a second, are you a citizen?
00:17:47.000 Have you gone through our process?
00:17:48.000 You said you were just visiting here and you lied.
00:17:51.000 If we just decided to move to Japan, which takes like eight immigrants a year, by the way, Japan has one of the lowest rates of immigration in the entire world.
00:17:59.000 That's why Japan has a very low crime, I would argue, but that's a separate issue.
00:18:05.000 You're not allowed to say that out loud, but anyway.
00:18:07.000 Immigration can play a positive role, by the way, but we never talk about the negative role ever.
00:18:12.000 You never talk about the negative impacts of how mass immigration can actually raise crime and deteriorate your public infrastructure. 0.99
00:18:18.000 And so Arizona in particular, where we're doing our show right now, is being invaded on the southern border.
00:18:24.000 That's right.
00:18:24.000 Arizona is being invaded.
00:18:27.000 And as a proper response, Arizona legislatures are saying, no, if you're being invaded with 7,000 people a day, 7,000 people a day, then you should be able to say, you know what?
00:18:38.000 No, you're going to have to prove if you're going to vote in our next election, because it's one thing to break into our country and send your kids to our schools and fill up our hospitals and clog our highways. 1.00
00:18:48.000 But it's another thing to say that all of a sudden you're going to be able to cast ballots and dilute the sovereignty of the citizens that were here before you.
00:18:58.000 Now, a lot of Republicans are totally messed up on the immigration issue.
00:19:03.000 Some of them will say, legal, good, illegal, bad. 0.94
00:19:06.000 Like, okay, that's such a silly argument, honestly.
00:19:08.000 Let's go a level deeper, which is mass immigration right now in its current form is making America less free. 0.99
00:19:16.000 It is tearing apart our culture.
00:19:17.000 It's all about assimilation. 0.96
00:19:19.000 And if you are continually bringing people like Elon Omar, who do not assimilate to your country and do not assimilate to the ties that we have together, you can't have a country that way.
00:19:29.000 A country requires, again, not a colony.
00:19:32.000 If you want to live in a colony, go to Hong Kong.
00:19:34.000 No one has anything in common except money.
00:19:37.000 I want things in common deeper than just finance and money.
00:19:41.000 I want values, morals, a tradition.
00:19:46.000 We're blessed to live in the greatest nation ever to exist in the history of the world.
00:19:49.000 Luke 12, 48 says, quote, to whom much has been given, much will be required.
00:19:54.000 We as Christians can shape our world.
00:19:56.000 One of these ways is how we steward our finances and our money.
00:19:59.000 If you have money and stocks, you have the power to affect change through your investments.
00:20:03.000 Jesus spoke about money in roughly 15% of his teachings and 11 out of 39 of his parables.
00:20:09.000 How do we follow his teachings about money?
00:20:11.000 Well, my friends at PAX Financial can help.
00:20:13.000 I've opened an account with them.
00:20:14.000 I think very highly of them.
00:20:16.000 They are fiduciaries that will make sure you have a responsible plan to retire.
00:20:20.000 I trust them with my money, and I hope you will as well.
00:20:23.000 But look, they'll also help you invest in companies that align with your beliefs.
00:20:26.000 No companies that engage in pornography or in excessive drinking or in a degenerate lifestyle.
00:20:34.000 If you have $150,000 to invest, please text my name, Charlie, to the number 74868.
00:20:40.000 And even if you don't have $150,000, maybe they'll make an exception for you.
00:20:44.000 I don't know, but just learn more about them.
00:20:46.000 Look, text Charlie to 74868.
00:20:49.000 Take advantage of the power to make a difference with your money.
00:20:51.000 PAX Financial.
00:20:52.000 It was great for me.
00:20:53.000 I think it will be terrific for you.
00:20:57.000 The border is wide open, but the administration is admitting they're doing wonderful because for them, they are.
00:21:05.000 You see, we must drop this fake and this false one-liner.
00:21:12.000 I hear it all the time in Republican circles. 0.99
00:21:14.000 Oh, they're just incompetent. 0.98
00:21:16.000 No, they aren't. 1.00
00:21:18.000 They're evil and they happen to be stupid. 1.00
00:21:22.000 It's a lethal combination. 1.00
00:21:24.000 Now, you should be actually very thankful that the malevolent are actually as idiotic as they are. 1.00
00:21:31.000 Because if they were German, for example, and they were running on time and working, whoa, forget it. 1.00
00:21:37.000 These are incredibly lazy, dumb, evil people. 1.00
00:21:40.000 Now, you might say, Charlie, I reject the notion that they're evil. 1.00
00:21:44.000 If you keep a country wide open to invasion, that is an act of immorality, period.
00:21:51.000 Now, they're spinning it as they think they're doing a good job.
00:21:54.000 Remember, more evil has been done in the last 100 years under the guise of people thinking they are doing good.
00:22:04.000 It's a very short clip.
00:22:05.000 Play cut 18.
00:22:06.000 Mayorkis, I think we're doing a good job.
00:22:09.000 Do you think it's working?
00:22:12.000 I think that we are doing a good job.
00:22:16.000 I think we're doing a great job.
00:22:17.000 The border's wide open.
00:22:19.000 Anywhere between 5,000 to 8,000 people illegally coming into your country every single day, invading your country.
00:22:26.000 States are doing very little, even though they should be doing something.
00:22:30.000 They should be doing a lot more.
00:22:32.000 I believe this is borderline treasonous, what is happening on the southern border.
00:22:37.000 And we get a lot of talk from Republicans in Washington.
00:22:40.000 We do not get action from governors in states like Arizona or Texas.
00:22:44.000 Yeah, I know Abbott's done a little things.
00:22:46.000 Hey, Abbott, why haven't you built a border wall yet?
00:22:48.000 Abbott, how many illegals have you deported?
00:22:50.000 Not sent to Washington, D.C. Why have you not deported them back to Mexico, Nicaragua, and Honduras? 1.00
00:22:55.000 We've been waiting about a year.
00:22:56.000 A lot of talk, a lot of chirping, a lot of chatter.
00:22:59.000 Oh, well, I can't do that as governor of Texas.
00:23:01.000 Okay, let's play that out.
00:23:02.000 First of all, why do you believe that?
00:23:04.000 So let's ask the question: where in the United States Constitution does it say how immigration policy needs to be outlined?
00:23:12.000 Makes vague mention of it in either the 15th or 16th Amendment.
00:23:15.000 I can't remember, maybe the 18th Amendment.
00:23:17.000 But it really isn't clear.
00:23:19.000 Therefore, the 10th Amendment is very clear.
00:23:21.000 Anything that is not specifically enumerated is left to the states and the people.
00:23:26.000 But let's just ask this from a moral standpoint, because we believe in a natural law, things that are always true.
00:23:32.000 What happens when someone invades your home?
00:23:35.000 Do you ask, do you just blame other people, sit on your hands?
00:23:39.000 Oh, I'm the governor of Texas and I hope things get better.
00:23:42.000 Why have you not mobilized the National Guard yet?
00:23:45.000 Why have you not started raids of illegals and getting them out of the country, at least out of Texas? 1.00
00:23:50.000 Oh, well, we're working with our federal partners.
00:23:52.000 No, no, the federal partners want the states, they want the invasion.
00:23:56.000 They're subsidizing the invasion, not the Border Patrol themselves, not DHS.
00:24:00.000 God bless them.
00:24:02.000 You know, and some people are saying, well, he had buses to D.C. for a week or so.
00:24:08.000 Send them back to where they came from. 1.00
00:24:10.000 You see, where the states needed now to take leadership is they now need to be self-governed.
00:24:14.000 I know this is a lot of work for Republicans.
00:24:17.000 They're not used to it.
00:24:18.000 Republicans having to govern?
00:24:20.000 No, no, no.
00:24:20.000 We just, here's what Republicans do, okay?
00:24:23.000 And Abbott's fine.
00:24:24.000 He's going to be better than Robert Francis or Rook, whatever, but he could be so much better.
00:24:28.000 What a disappointment in certain ways.
00:24:30.000 He's been good on some things, bad on other things.
00:24:32.000 This is what Republicans do: they see a problem, and their consultants say, don't solve the problem, just write a press release.
00:24:40.000 Just write a letter and blame Biden, and then you'll be able to have more political power.
00:24:45.000 Ron DeSantis doesn't do this.
00:24:47.000 Ron DeSantis sees a problem and he fixes a problem.
00:24:47.000 God bless him.
00:24:51.000 But if you're the governor of Texas or if you're the governor of Arizona and you are continually blaming the federal government, that works for the first 60 days.
00:25:01.000 I get it.
00:25:01.000 Okay.
00:25:02.000 So Biden comes in.
00:25:03.000 You blame the federal government for the first month, two months, maybe three months.
00:25:07.000 But eventually you have to realize sovereignty goes down to the states.
00:25:10.000 The states created the federal government.
00:25:12.000 The federal government did not create the states.
00:25:16.000 And we get a lot of talk, don't we?
00:25:17.000 Well, I'm going to work with our federal partners.
00:25:19.000 I'm going to sue.
00:25:20.000 No, no, you have to do it.
00:25:22.000 Mobilize the National Guard, create a Texas Border Patrol, begin the deportations, arrest on site, send them back to the country they came in.
00:25:30.000 Now, mind you, a lot of people will say that this is a defiance of federal law.
00:25:38.000 Need I remind you that San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, New York, Boston, and D.C. have created and still have quasi-secessionist movements called sanctuary cities, meaning federal law does not apply here.
00:25:54.000 So if sanctuary cities are allowed to defy federal law, why are border states not able to enforce federal law?
00:26:00.000 We're not saying to defy federal law.
00:26:02.000 No, we're saying states need to start to enforce it.
00:26:04.000 The federal government's not actually enforcing it.
00:26:06.000 What are they going to do?
00:26:07.000 Go arrest a sitting governor of Arizona or Texas?
00:26:10.000 They're going to go tell a bunch of Texas Border Patrol, stop it.
00:26:13.000 You guys need to stop it.
00:26:13.000 Yeah, okay, have a nice day.
00:26:14.000 Thanks.
00:26:15.000 You're not going to be able to arrest all of them.
00:26:17.000 Instead, this would all of a sudden change the power balance.
00:26:20.000 Now, I'll be very honest.
00:26:22.000 We've been saying this for how long, Connor?
00:26:24.000 10 months, and nothing has really been done. 0.92
00:26:26.000 They've been largely useless.
00:26:28.000 You see, I have a different way of viewing this. 0.61
00:26:30.000 And this is why when politicians come on my show and they say, the Biden administration, I'm like, just stop, fix the problem.
00:26:36.000 Stop making excuses.
00:26:37.000 I know you feel the same way.
00:26:38.000 I'd love your thoughts.
00:26:39.000 Freedom at CharlieKirk.com.
00:26:41.000 Maybe all of you listening are like, you know what?
00:26:42.000 I love the excuses.
00:26:44.000 We'll wait it out.
00:26:46.000 Here's like a big memo that I think needs to be distributed widely.
00:26:50.000 We don't have till 2024 to fix our border crisis.
00:26:52.000 Period.
00:26:53.000 End of story.
00:26:54.000 It must be fixed now.
00:26:55.000 And we have political power.
00:26:57.000 Voters go and elect Republicans to fix problems, but instead we get press releases and one-liners on cable television.
00:27:06.000 I'm running out of patience and you should as well because political power has been given to these leaders and they're doing nothing with it.
00:27:12.000 Okay.
00:27:14.000 Let me play another piece of tape here.
00:27:16.000 Mayorkas says the reason this is all happening is because of climate change.
00:27:20.000 Play cut 22.
00:27:21.000 The migration that is occurring throughout the hemisphere is reflective of the economic downturn, increase in violence throughout the region, the result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the results of climate change.
00:27:40.000 The results of climate change.
00:27:41.000 I don't say this lightly. 0.99
00:27:42.000 That man is a traitor to the United States. 0.99
00:27:44.000 Period. 1.00
00:27:44.000 End of story. 1.00
00:27:45.000 Impeach Mayorkis. 1.00
00:27:46.000 Forget Biden.
00:27:46.000 He's a waste of time.
00:27:47.000 They'll get rid of him.
00:27:48.000 They'll put a Newsom.
00:27:48.000 They'll put Camilla.
00:27:49.000 They'll put Hillary. 1.00
00:27:50.000 He has overseen the intentional invasion of America and has spun it as a good thing. 1.00
00:27:54.000 That man has done more to destroy American sovereignty in a year and a half than anybody in the cabinet position that I've seen in a long period of time.
00:28:00.000 And I don't say that lightly.
00:28:02.000 He has intentionally and knowingly allowed cartels, human smugglers, traffickers, rapists, and fentanyl flow into America while he goes on television and allows himself to look like some sort of open border zealot.
00:28:14.000 And guess what?
00:28:14.000 Democrats love him.
00:28:16.000 Mayorkis is a star because Democrats want the illegals into America, want them for a variety of reasons because they've told us why they want them. 0.98
00:28:26.000 The Castro brothers say that this is going to help us politically.
00:28:30.000 And every time you say that out loud, they say it's the great replacement theory.
00:28:33.000 No, no, we're just using your own words time and time again.
00:28:37.000 And not to mention it makes America more dangerous.
00:28:40.000 It makes our schools overrun, our hospitals overrun.
00:28:43.000 And not to mention the fentanyl, which is produced in China, organized and filtered by the cartel and put into our country.
00:28:50.000 And our leaders sit on their hands and write a bunch of press releases.
00:28:53.000 I'm kind of sick of Republicans writing angry.
00:28:56.000 I'm going to send them an angry worded letter.
00:29:00.000 Hey, guess what, Republicans?
00:29:04.000 The people that are remembered in history are the ones that stand up in difficult circumstances and don't just write letters.
00:29:11.000 Play cut 23.
00:29:13.000 DEA Administrator Ann Milgram says that by the numbers, this is unlike anything she's ever seen.
00:29:20.000 DEA has interdicted fentanyl counterfeit pills in every single U.S. state and territory.
00:29:26.000 It's everywhere in Mexico, criminal drug trafficking networks.
00:29:30.000 They're sourcing chemicals from Chinese chemical companies that's then flooding into the United States.
00:29:37.000 We are at the deadliest moment in what is the deadliest drug epidemic in American history.
00:29:42.000 More than three quarters of all teens who are dying of overdoses have fentanyl in their system.
00:29:48.000 It's killing America's youth. 0.96
00:29:50.000 If these political clowns were in power, I don't know who's on the video. 0.96
00:29:54.000 I'm just saying generally, we would have lost World War II. 0.97
00:29:58.000 Let me say that again. 0.88
00:29:59.000 If the clowns running many parts of the Republican Party were running America back in the 1940s, we would have lost World War II. 0.97
00:30:06.000 These people don't know how to fight. 0.98
00:30:08.000 They don't know how the will to win.
00:30:11.000 I think most Republicans right now like their cushy title, their chauffeur cars, their designer clothes, their catered lunches, their staff around them.
00:30:25.000 I think I personally believe spending some time around politicians, of which I have very little respect for many of them.
00:30:31.000 Ron Johnson was great yesterday and he was terrific.
00:30:31.000 There's a few I like.
00:30:34.000 He fought against the vaccine.
00:30:35.000 God bless him for that.
00:30:37.000 Ted Cruz is right on a lot of stuff.
00:30:38.000 He's been great to us.
00:30:40.000 Disagree with him on Ukraine, but really, really good on most things.
00:30:42.000 Rand Paul's been amazing.
00:30:43.000 Josh Hawley's been great, but just the whole swath of them.
00:30:46.000 But I honestly have a different opinion, though.
00:30:48.000 I hold senators to a different standard than I do governors.
00:30:52.000 You see, a senator, you vote and you give a speech.
00:30:55.000 You filibuster and you investigate.
00:30:57.000 Okay.
00:30:57.000 Great.
00:30:58.000 Just don't be like Lindsey Graham.
00:30:59.000 Okay.
00:31:00.000 Josh Hawley, investigate, all that great stuff.
00:31:03.000 But a governor, do not run for governor thinking you're going to be a senator.
00:31:09.000 A governor needs to be a person of action, a person of direction, a person of executive power.
00:31:18.000 We have governors that act like legislators.
00:31:20.000 We have governors that say, well, the federal government's allowing my state to turn into a third world country.
00:31:26.000 I'll write a letter.
00:31:27.000 Maybe this letter will get their attention.
00:31:30.000 All they understand is power.
00:31:32.000 I wish that wasn't the case.
00:31:34.000 So fix it. 0.83
00:31:36.000 We do not have till 2024.
00:31:38.000 We get an invasion, Normandy-size invasion every single month.
00:31:45.000 A lot of your emails, freedom at charliekirk.com, you agree with me.
00:31:51.000 And we need to now start to demand more out of our governors in particular.
00:31:56.000 And the next governor of Arizona, and hopefully Greg Abbott.
00:31:59.000 And yes, I do hope Greg Abbott beats Robert Francis O'Rourke.
00:32:02.000 They need to, look, the future of America will largely be decided and determined, not by senators.
00:32:08.000 I hope they vote no on all the garbage and they investigate Fauci and they prosecute that.
00:32:12.000 And I hope JD Vance is a great senator and he will be.
00:32:15.000 I'm not saying he won't play a role.
00:32:16.000 But let's be honest.
00:32:17.000 If we don't stop the invasion on our southern border, I think all of this becomes immaterial.
00:32:21.000 We do not have till the next presidential election.
00:32:23.000 So here's just a good rule for how to engage with politicians.
00:32:27.000 And then I'm going to tell you how you can make a difference.
00:32:29.000 Okay.
00:32:30.000 Which is when a politician tells you you need to wait to the next election cycle, reject the premise.
00:32:37.000 Well, we're going to need to wait till 2024.
00:32:40.000 I used to be naive.
00:32:42.000 I know a lot of you were too.
00:32:44.000 This is what Paul Ryan and all those guys said.
00:32:46.000 And then guess what?
00:32:47.000 We gave them the House and the Senate and the presidency.
00:32:49.000 Did we get a wall?
00:32:51.000 Did we get deportations?
00:32:53.000 Couple.
00:32:54.000 A little bit here.
00:32:55.000 Did we get border security?
00:32:56.000 Do we get drone surveillance?
00:32:58.000 No, we got corporate tax cuts for companies that hate you.
00:33:02.000 That's what we got.
00:33:03.000 So no more, you got to go win more elections.
00:33:06.000 We control 31 governors' mansions.
00:33:08.000 We have political power.
00:33:10.000 Why won't we use it to enforce the law?
00:33:12.000 I'm not talking about doing anything dramatic or anything outrageous.
00:33:16.000 I'm simply saying they're violating federal immigration law and they're being invaded.
00:33:19.000 So let me ask you a question.
00:33:22.000 If a government invaded America, do you think it's a moral response to respond?
00:33:29.000 Let me just ask a question.
00:33:31.000 So let's just play this out.
00:33:32.000 Because for whatever reason, based on the country, America has like a different reaction.
00:33:36.000 Okay.
00:33:37.000 If the Iranian Revolutionary Guard was smuggling human beings across the southern border and dirty bombs and tanks, do you think we should just let them and give them amnesty? 0.92
00:33:48.000 Or do you think we should respond in kind?
00:33:52.000 Now, what do I mean by in kind?
00:33:53.000 Build the wall, deport them, and mobilize the military. 0.92
00:33:57.000 It's that simple.
00:33:58.000 Now you might say, Charlie, that's not an equal analogy.
00:34:01.000 Have you been down to the border?
00:34:02.000 Go down to Yuma.
00:34:03.000 You'll see for yourself.
00:34:04.000 Cartel, cars, drones, helicopters.
00:34:09.000 They're monitoring the border with military precision and technology.
00:34:12.000 The cartels make their most amount of money and their most amount of power, not on drug trafficking.
00:34:17.000 That's a little bit.
00:34:17.000 It's on human trafficking.
00:34:19.000 It's taking a poor person from Veracruz, Mexico, or a poor person from El Salvador and smuggling them up to the border and getting them to cross the border.
00:34:33.000 That's where they make their money. 0.97
00:34:36.000 And it's a continuous invasion.
00:34:38.000 And so the big takeaway is this, is that we have been hearing words and words and words from our Republican officials.
00:34:47.000 And so Arizona is going to have a new governor.
00:34:50.000 Texas is going to probably have the same governor.
00:34:52.000 Those two people in the next 18 months can very well determine the future of American sovereignty in the question of will we be a colony or a country.
00:35:00.000 Now, New Mexico is a short part of the border, and it's actually a very difficult part of the border to cross.
00:35:05.000 Unfortunately, unless New Mexico has a big sea change, not going to happen.
00:35:08.000 California is a part of the border.
00:35:10.000 But here's the thing about California that you must recognize and realize is that California, being so far to the west and kind of being part of Baja California, does not get the same amount of border crossings.
00:35:21.000 Now, yes, they're going to fly to Mexicali and maybe go in there.
00:35:26.000 But if California remains completely and totally wide open, but Arizona and Texas do their job, the 7,000 people crossing our border a day can get down to 1,000.
00:35:35.000 Yeah, that makes a very big difference, huge difference.
00:35:38.000 And by the way, if all of a sudden Arizona starts deporting the illegals in their own state, which they should be doing, forget the feds.
00:35:45.000 The feds are a waste of time. 0.96
00:35:46.000 Do it yourself.
00:35:48.000 And here's just a general question of morality.
00:35:51.000 If something you love is being destroyed, do you write letters about it?
00:35:58.000 If something you care about is being incinerated, do you just write letters and do press releases?
00:36:07.000 If your home is being trampled and is being incinerated, do you just hope for the next election?
00:36:15.000 No.
00:36:16.000 So it's one of two things, or one of three things. 1.00
00:36:19.000 Either the Republicans don't care, Republicans are complicit, or Republicans are cowardly. 0.98
00:36:26.000 I'm done with their press releases. 0.98
00:36:28.000 I sued the Biden administration.
00:36:30.000 I don't care.
00:36:31.000 Have you built the wall?
00:36:32.000 Have you done it yourself?
00:36:33.000 Have you defied the federal government who's going to come in and say, oh, yeah, you can't do that.
00:36:38.000 Actually, I'm going to enforce their own border and have a nice day. 0.99
00:36:41.000 Because it's the same way that sanctuary cities defied federal law when it came to immigration law.
00:36:45.000 They'll defy it.
00:36:46.000 We're going to enforce it.
00:36:48.000 The moral argument is simple.
00:36:50.000 When the big refuses to protect the small, the small must act.
