00:00:00.000Hey everybody, today's Charlie Kirk Show.
00:00:02.000I asked the question, what is the legacy of the baby boomers going to be?
00:00:05.000To make my position perfectly clear, I think there are phenomenal baby boomers and there's crummy baby boomers.
00:00:10.000I think there's great millennials and crummy millennials, but it is a fact that the legacy of a generation, the baby boomer generation, will be an inheritor of a free country and then passing down an unfree country.
00:00:21.000We talk about that in regards to the national debt.
00:00:23.000We also have Kash Patel join us about fencing off funding and many other important topics, including the Biden and Trump document story.
00:01:13.000He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:20.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:48.000You wonder why nationalism is growing?
00:02:50.000Because we see our leaders continually put our beloved country in financial insecurity, in financial insolvency, to keep our borders wide open and ship our jobs overseas and destroy the purchasing power of the American dollar.
00:03:07.000So in 2007, our debt was $10 trillion.
00:03:11.000I was in seventh grade in 2007, 15 years ago.
00:03:16.00015 years later now, our debt has tripled.
00:03:19.000Now, we are in a serious debt doom spiral, and nobody wants to acknowledge it, and no one wants to talk about it.
00:03:26.000This is a ticking time bomb on the American Constitutional Republic.
00:03:34.000Now, this is technically different from a government shutdown.
00:03:37.000The shutdown is when Congress doesn't pass appropriations, so there's no legal approval to fund federal operations.
00:03:43.000With this, it's about the Treasury Department having the power to borrow money to fund spending that is already approved.
00:03:50.000The Treasury Department believes that it can get by without a debt ceiling increase for about six months before we get into what would be called uncharted territory.
00:03:58.000This is uncharted territory in the American sense.
00:04:00.000Having a $31 trillion debt is uncharted territory.
00:04:04.000We owe more money than we are worth, by the way.
00:04:06.000We owe more money than the combined GDP of our nation.
00:04:10.000Some people are proposing goofy and wacky ideas like having a trillion-dollar coin or to issue extremely unconventional bonds.
00:04:17.000Still, if this goes on long enough, the expected outcome is that the U.S. will default on its current debt obligations.
00:04:47.000An unfunded liability would be, for example, let's pretend that you have a mortgage on your home, you have a car loan, but you've also basically told every single person in your neighborhood, hey, I'm going to give you $10,000 next week.
00:05:04.000So you might say, Charlie, give me an example of an unfunded liability: Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, what these programs will cost.
00:05:11.000In fact, some people estimate that our unfunded liability total is over $300 trillion.
00:05:20.000So the Biden administration is refusing to budge.
00:06:13.000But it is a fact that the current adults, if you're 50 plus, you are somewhat, and I don't want to say to blame, but you participated in this massive multi-decade generational plunder of future generations.
00:06:29.000My five-month-year-old daughter is going to have to live in an America that is less free, that is less financially secure, and less fiscally solvent because of the sugar-high spending that has been going on the last 15 years.
00:06:44.000Now, a lot of people hate it when I say that.
00:06:52.000But it is a fact that the consensus of the 50-plus generation in America, they've done a lot right, but this is a terrible track record the last 15 years.
00:07:01.000However, it's not just in the sense of the debt ceiling fight.
00:07:04.000I'm going to broaden this for a second.
00:07:06.000I'm going to show you this is a pattern of immoral behavior that is manifested in a variety of different ways.
00:07:12.000Now, the children of today are now going to inherit a less free, less fiscally solvent America, where the American dollar is basically equivalent to toilet paper.
00:07:22.000In fact, toilet paper is actually more valuable than the American dollar.
00:07:29.000That was the old joke we used to make.
00:07:30.000We used to say, yeah, you know, that the dollar bill is going to be like toilet paper.
00:07:37.000Now, toilet paper actually is a lot more valuable in some sense and in some places than a dollar bill.
00:07:45.000Now, it depends on whether or not there's panic in the streets and all that.
00:07:50.000However, the same immediate gut reaction that triggered the lockdowns is the same sort of philosophy that piled debt on the next generation, which is this, which is we're going to steal from children so I can be comfortable.
00:08:08.000We're going to steal from my kids and grandkids so I can be, so I can live an easier and nicer life.
00:08:14.000Now, I know a lot of you don't subscribe to that.
00:08:16.000A lot of you find that sort of idea repulsive.
00:08:22.000You are in the minority of Americans, by the way.
00:08:24.000The majority of Americans supported the lockdowns and they support this deficit spending.
00:08:28.000The West was built on a heroic idea of delayed gratification.
00:08:36.000I'm going to sacrifice today so my children can experience prosperity.
00:08:43.000And so what we've seen is that the greatest generation sacrificed so that the boomers could have a really economically flourishing life.
00:08:51.000And the 70s, 80s, and 90s, specifically the 80s and 90s, were Boomtown USA, the American dream, house ownership, middle-class incomes boomed.
00:09:03.000So we went from a balanced budget in the 1990s when I was born, 1993, to now where we have $31 trillion in debt.
00:09:12.000Now, I'm not going to blame boomers because I get a lot of angry emails if I dare ever say anything that boomers are the greatest generation in American history.
00:09:20.000So let me just say, I think boomers are the greatest generation in American history.
00:09:37.000But delayed gratification is what built the West.
00:09:40.000And what is clear is that our political leaders have decided to act in a pattern of behavior to say that children do not matter, but my convenience, my own DAO portfolio matters more than the fiscal well-being of future generations that will deteriorate and obliterate the dollar.
00:10:03.000I'm not blaming many of you because I get to see the emails right now.
00:10:07.000Many of you have done the right thing, but our political leaders have not.
00:10:12.000The idea pathogen that has infected the American political elite is that the future of America matters far less than my luxury, my comfort, and my life as a 70 or 80 year old.
00:10:28.000And that's an inversion of what actually built America.
00:10:31.000It used to be that I'm going to sacrifice so my kids could flourish.
00:10:35.000I'm a millennial and I get insulted all the time as being called lazy, as being called dumb, as being called short-sighted.
00:10:43.000And why is it okay to relentlessly attack millennials, but never say to baby boomers, hey, maybe you guys shouldn't have spent all this money?
00:12:04.000I'm not saying that every single boomer has done this, but it is correct that this generation's legacy will be leaving an America that is less free and less fiscally solvent.
00:12:58.000And there's so many great baby boomers.
00:13:00.000But there is a macro judgment that needs to be made of, huh, the net output of this generation is a lot of debt, a younger generation that is not exactly in a good place, and lockdowns, COVID vaccines.
00:13:18.000Is there something here that maybe requires some self-examination?
00:13:24.000Okay, I want to play a piece of tape here, though.
00:13:42.000A lot of kids are feeling the effects of what we like to call, you know, with the Washington economy with a lot of debt plummeting small business with higher regulation and high taxes.
00:13:50.000We're just trying to reinstitute the founding principles, free market, fiscal responsibility.
00:14:02.000If you look at the debt that our generation is going to have to inherit, the high interest and high taxes, we think that it's time for our generation to step up to the plate and sound the SOS signal to Washington.
00:14:11.000Hey, that was when I was 18 years old.
00:14:13.000So I've at least been on message the last 11 years.
00:14:32.000Again, I don't think, I can't even talk.
00:14:35.000Honestly, this will probably be my last time ever bringing up this topic because I get such a tribal response when I bring this up, regardless of how much nuance I contribute to it.
00:14:45.000Regardless of me saying that there are wonderful baby boomers, regardless of me saying that it's mostly the powerful elite, it's just the tribalism of the defense of a generation is remarkable.
00:14:57.000And it really makes you think that why is it then okay to, yeah, by the way, will you guys feel better if I just attack my own generation?

00:18:31.000There are fabulous members of all generations, and there are crummy members of all generations.
00:18:37.000But the unfortunate and the tragic fact is this, and it's not too late to fix, by the way, not too late at all, is that as things stand today, the legacy of a baby boomer generation, and yes, that is a broad categorization, and that is a big, big, big basket, is a generation that inherited a prosperous and strong country and will be handing down an unfree country.
00:19:38.000It was elected boomers who passed the laws and budgets.
00:19:41.000They were the early globalists and they were big businessmen.
00:19:44.000They were raised differently, but did the wrong thing for profits and power.
00:19:47.000That is correct, is that there was a belief that the main drivers of the architecture of the neoliberal globalist experiment was largely driven by boomers.
00:19:56.000Now, that's not to say every boomer subscribed to it, but it was a unique boomer phenomenon in the late 70s and 80s and 90s that really put forward what we know of as international neoliberalism.
00:20:44.000Basically, the amount of money that Hunter Biden was paying rent in that house is the exact same sum of money that's tied to a Chinese Communist Party pipeline of funding.
00:20:56.000And you would say, hey, that's a funny coincidence.
00:20:58.000How is it the exact same amount to the dollar?
00:21:01.000And I believe it's because it's part of a money laundering cover-up operation.
00:21:05.000But the bigger problem that really no one's talking about is Joe Biden's now felony tax issue.
00:21:11.000Joe Biden made it a stand-up point of his campaign that he was so transparent, he released all of his tax returns.
00:22:01.000But I think with these guys, what the American public has learned is that they are so arrogant, they just think they're never going to get caught.
00:22:07.000I mean, the classified document itself is just the best example of that.
00:22:12.000Joe Biden goes on a tirade against Trump.
00:22:16.000I've been saying all along, it's not five sets.
00:22:18.000We're going to have 10, 15 sets of documents found that have now been in the wild for six plus years that are all classified.
00:22:25.000And it's because they never thought that they were going to get caught.
00:22:28.000The bigger question is, what do those documents contain?
00:22:31.000And did Joe Biden take them to protect his son and their interests vis-a-vis the CCP and make sure his son never got prosecuted for anything?
00:22:38.000And now, do those countries who are our enemies have leverage over the sitting commander in chief?
00:22:43.000And so how do you anticipate then these special counsels playing out?
00:22:47.000There are two active special counsels looking into a former president and a current president on the same issue.
00:22:54.000I mean, needless to say, and maybe I'm wrong, I don't think this has ever happened in American history before.
00:23:01.000And I think it's going to play out to show the American people that there's a two-tier system of justice for all those people that say we've been spitting conspiracy theories.
00:23:09.000I think that's exactly what's going to happen.
00:23:11.000And Merrick Garland is going to have the boomerang come back on his face.
00:23:14.000But the problem with the new special counsel is he's nothing more than a government gangster, as I call him, Rod Rosenstein's protege who authorized the surveillance of me when I was running Russia Gate by subpoenaing my personal records.
00:23:28.000The same guy, Robert Herr, authorized the fraudulent FISA warrant on Donald Trump.
00:23:32.000So now we have a corrupt DC swamp monster who leaves his seven-figure law firm to go back and become special counsel so that these special counsels, all they do is exonerate the corruption at the FBI and DOJ.
00:23:46.000And all they, the only thing they do is target politically people they want to kneecap.
00:23:51.000And I think what we have, what I've said repeatedly is our target is not Joe Biden.
00:24:00.000And we have to show the American people.
00:24:02.000And yeah, I'm sorry to interrupt you, Cash, but I mean, I was just talking on air to Jim Jordan and my, and I'd love our audience's thoughts on this.
00:24:09.000I said, guys, don't take the Biden bait.
00:24:11.000They're like, yeah, we want to get these.
00:24:14.000Cash, you ran successfully the Russia investigation from the House.
00:24:18.000Can you just share some wisdom as to how careful the House Republicans need to be?
00:24:23.000Because you only have, you have limited time, energy, and resources.
00:24:26.000And focusing it on Joe Biden, the octogenarian socialist who like, I hate to be morbid about it, but 10 years from now, do you think that Joe Biden is going to be the threat to the Republic or the fourth branch of government will be, right?
00:24:43.000And we have an opportunity, a very limited window.
00:24:45.000And I hope this weaponization of the federal government subcommittee and commerce committee gets the subpoenas going immediately, not at Joe Biden, but at the DOJ and at the FBI, at Garland, at Ray, at Robert Herr, and all of their underlings who are involved in these investigations and get the documentation like we did in Russia Gate for the American people.
00:25:05.000Get the FBI reporting on this because listen, I'm going to tell you, and I've called it for a long time, this investigation did not begin in November of 2022 because some librarians referred it to the Department of Justice.
00:25:16.000This investigation has been known to DOJ and FBI for some time.
00:25:20.000And there's a document called an electronic communication that the FBI has to write every time they open an investigation.
00:25:26.000We subpoena that document from the FBI and DOJ for Russia Gate.
00:25:30.000It took them months to get it to us, but it's what blew the whole thing open, destroyed their timeline and set us on the road to expose their corruption.
00:25:38.000And this subcommittee needs to get that single sheet of paper showing why the FBI and DOJ and when they open this investigation.
00:25:44.000So if we look at Solinsky's rules for radicals, which we obviously have to be very careful employing because they are Luciferian, but there is some wisdom in actually how to use these rules to pressure evil and use it against them.
00:25:55.000There's a couple rules that I want to highlight here.
00:25:57.000And Cash, I think you'll be able to offer some guidance on how House Republicans can proceed.
00:26:02.000The first is obviously keep the pressure on.
00:26:04.000I don't think that's going to be a problem.
00:26:06.000By the way, can we get the list, Blake or Andrew, of who's on the House Oversight Committee?
00:26:35.000It must be a tactic that people enjoy.
00:26:38.000But finally, Rule 13, which is important.
00:26:40.000Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
00:26:44.000So Cash, out of the whole roster of deep state gangsters and criminals, Christopher Wray, Peter Struckstroke Smirk, Lisa Page, we have Mayorkis.
00:27:08.000He has single-handedly destroyed our law enforcement empire that used to be the world's premier law enforcement agency.
00:27:14.000He has weaponized it for political purposes, and he has allowed the cover-up to cover up some of the worst criminal conduct by FBI and DOJ in United States history.
00:27:24.000There is no greater government gangster.
00:27:26.000I think he's worse than Chris Wray, excuse me, than Merrick Barlin.
00:27:29.000I think Chris Ray is far worse than Merrick Garland at the AAG's office, and that's saying something.
00:27:35.000Let's look at everything Chris Ray, from his private jet-funded trips that are taxpayer-funded to his abuse of the FISA court process to his systematic deployment of confidential human sources to cover up FBI corruption, be it January 6th or elsewhere.
00:27:55.000We need all of that investigated and it funnels back to one person, Christopher Wray.
00:28:48.000Look, all budgeting matters under the Constitution have to originate and end in the House of Representatives.
00:28:53.000That means the United States Congress's lower chamber must authorize and approve all monetary investments for our departments and agencies.
00:29:01.000Fencing simply means an oversight committee can come in and say, hey, you, FBI, DOJ, CIA, NSA, you're not responding to our subpoenas.
00:29:10.000We're going to take that pot of $10 million for Operation X, and I'm going to build a wall around it, and you can't legally touch it.
00:29:17.000And we're going to keep doing it until you produce the documents and witnesses that we have demanded so we can conduct constitutional oversight.
00:29:24.000Look, when these agencies don't respond to subpoenas, it's because they are covering up corruption.
00:29:29.000You know that that's what's happening now, but the only way to get through it is to take their money.
00:29:42.000So, for an easy one that we've talked about before, Christopher Ray's taxpayer-funded jet that he used, I believe, unconstitutionally illegally to go vacation in the Adirondacks that was appropriated for counterterrorism use.
00:29:54.000And he uses the taxpayer-funded Gulf Stream for his own leisure.
00:30:38.000So, and how much of this do we know of?
00:30:40.000I mean, because some of these departments, they don't do line item budgeting, but I'm sure there's travel expenses, there's retreats, right?
00:30:49.000There's, you know, taxpayer-funded lunches.
00:30:52.000And some of them might not be opulent.
00:30:55.000But what you're trying to say, though, is that the little perks, the little benefits, the little niceties that many of these people use as a way to make a bureaucratic job a little bit nicer, you hold hostage as a means to the end of getting documents, witness testimony, and facts.
00:31:15.000It's even easier than that, Charlie, because you don't have to know the exact expenditure of where that money is going, Andy McCabe's $20,000 office desk, because Congress does the line items.
00:31:26.000So Congress knows there's 10 million set aside for quote unquote furniture.
00:31:30.000Congress knows there's 10 million set aside for travel.
00:31:33.000Congress knows there's 5 million set aside for new paint.
00:31:36.000So all you have to do is go fence that money.
00:31:38.000The agencies and departments decide how to expend that on a granular level.
00:31:43.000But when you seize the entire pool of money, they can't do it at the macro level.
00:32:20.000And as long as the committee chairman and women are talking to each other about what subpoenas they're sending where, and we don't duplicate efforts, then you can actually double down on your authority and power and say, we're going to fence this money on oversight.
00:32:33.000You guys go fence that money on the weaponization committee.
00:32:36.000We could really have a two-pronged system of attack here.
00:33:00.000So McCarthy, hopefully, I haven't heard a signal that he won't, but hopefully he starts signaling to these members of Congress when the subpoenas start going out that he will back their play.
00:33:21.000No, now this is a way to get real systemic change with very little effort that is actually also popular in the eyes of the American people.
00:33:31.000If you go after the perks of bureaucrats, if you go after the lifestyle niceties of the fourth branch of government and use that as a way to find out what's really going on, that is an 80-20 issue, a 90-10 issue.
00:33:46.000Like you said, you don't go after operational funding.
