00:01:59.000This four-day event is packed with empowering speakers, hundreds of patriotic partner organizations, and the America-loving community that you have been searching for.
00:02:08.000Don't miss on the amazing concert two.
00:02:12.000Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Rob Schneider, Roseanne Barr, Dennis Prager, Allie Beth Stuckey, James O'Keefe, Patrick Bett David, Glenn Beck.
00:02:20.000I mean, just drop everything and come to Phoenix.
00:02:53.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:05:13.000And we, as a company at Public Square, are proud to continue supporting him.
00:05:17.000Yeah, and changing people's mentality on the corporate landscape is happening, but it needs to happen quicker.
00:05:23.000We are seeing, you know, Disney that seems to be retreating a little bit from some of their radical stuff, but then they come in and they go after, you know, X and they say they're pulling all of their advertisement.
00:05:36.000Also, breaking today, Elon Musk and X have officially filed a lawsuit against Media Matters.
00:05:42.000Talk more about this hit job from Media Matters for America, which was torturous interference at best.
00:05:49.000Well, Media Matters has a long history of distorting the truth in order to advance their political game.
00:05:54.000They claim that they're nonpartisan and that they're trying to bring truth to light.
00:05:59.000But in reality, they repeatedly do the very opposite.
00:06:02.000They've come after great journalists in the past that lean more conservative.
00:06:06.000They've come after other platforms like Rumble, and now they're coming after X. What happened this week is that they actually launched a piece that had screenshots of falsely placed advertising next to white nationalist content.
00:06:21.000So they had anti-Semitic content and white nationalist content, and then an Apple ad.
00:06:26.000They had white nationalist anti-Semitic content and then another company's ad.
00:06:30.000What we found, though, after an expose done by Linda Yaccarino, CEO of X, is that all of it was fraudulent.
00:06:48.000Linda exposed that that ad placement never actually took place.
00:06:52.000So the story Media Matters ran with, trying to paint X as this anti-Semitic platform that is platforming content that's egregious next to these well-known advertisers in order to get the advertisers to cancel and strip their dollars.
00:07:08.000So I'm proud of Elon Musk for filing a lawsuit.
00:07:11.000Now you've seen Rumbles jumping in as well and filing a lawsuit also.
00:07:14.000And this came right on the heels, by the way, of Truth Social launching a lawsuit against 20 companies yesterday in the media space for falsely claiming that they had lost $73 million, which is an egregious distortion of the truth.
00:07:28.000And so I love to see these alternative platforms standing up and actually putting their resource behind powerful lawsuits that should win if we have a just court system, should win easily.
00:07:39.000Yeah, so Linda Yaccarino said, if you know me, you know I'm committed to truth and fairness.
00:07:44.000Not a single authentic user on X saw IBM, Comcast, or Oracle ads next to content in the Media Matters article.
00:07:53.000Only two users saw an Apple ad next to the content, at least one of which was Media Matters.
00:07:58.000Data wins over manipulation or allegations, don't mean manipulated, stand with X.
00:08:03.000Yeah, this is a multi-dimensional hit job, and they're trying to go after Elon personally and criminally.
00:08:09.000They're trying to go after his liberation of the platform, all because Elon has now become a serious threat to the regime, to the uniparty and the left by allowing us to speak, by allowing us to challenge pre-existing orthodoxies, allowing us to incubate elite opinion in a way that the bad guys don't like.
00:08:28.000And so, you know, Michael, talk a little bit more about Media Matters.
00:08:44.000Well, we know that their executives make a whole lot of money in order to stifle your freedom of speech.
00:08:49.000In fact, the CEO, a woman named Angelo Carusin, makes $453,000 a year.
00:08:56.000The person who's been in the news all week is actually David Brock, and he's arguably the most ideologically weaponized.
00:09:01.000He's the chairman of Media Matters, making $292,000 a year in order to stifle your speech.
00:09:07.000But what's interesting is that you highlighted earlier, Media Matters doesn't just not like Elon.
00:09:13.000They don't like you having the right to speak freely.
00:09:16.000Their donors and funders rely on them keeping the truth hidden and behind the curtain.
00:09:21.000The reality is X has been a platform that has provided for millions of Americans to learn the truth of what's happening in society in a way that never would have happened had X been under its formal leadership under Twitter.
00:09:33.000So we never would have learned about all that happened with the laptop and Hunter Biden.
00:09:38.000We never would have learned about the malfeasance in Ukraine.
00:09:41.000We never would have learned even recently about the January 6th tapes because so much of the effort for releasing the tapes, which I'm glad Speaker Johnson did, happened on X.
00:09:51.000So Media Matters can't lose their grip on power.
00:09:54.000Their grip on power relies on you not knowing the truth.
00:09:57.000And so we're seeing, as you described, this very coordinated hit job from people who are paid very, very highly in order to stifle your freedom of speech.
00:10:04.000One other thing that I will note is that some of the executives that Media Matters has tried to pull to drop their ads are people like NBC.
00:10:14.000NBC is a really interesting case because just last week, NBC had a journalist of theirs that was defending somebody, an editor-in-chief of a progressive news site that ended up being outed as a pedophile and is now being charged with child pornography counts in one of the most egregious cases that law enforcement has ever seen in that area.
00:10:34.000So we're seeing that this virtue signaling is really just meant to target you.
00:11:15.000We've got some amazing Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday deals happening at publicsquare.com.
00:11:23.000We have hundreds of thousands of products from over 70,000 vendors that would love to serve you, that love the country, the Constitution, and the values that it protects.
00:11:30.000You can fight the economic war by spending your money differently.
00:11:36.000We got a guy that bought a bike last week.
00:11:38.000We have another friend that bought half of a cow to feed his whole family for the next year, which is pretty exciting.
00:11:43.000And we've got clothing, jewelry, accessories, coffee, you name it.
00:11:47.000You're going to find it on the Public Square platform.
00:11:49.000So I'd encourage folks to head to publicsquare.com to check it out, save some money this holiday season, and spend your money with businesses who deserve your money.
00:11:58.000Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.
00:12:02.000If you deal with exhaustion, brain fog, mood swings, or food cravings, if you're constantly getting sick or simply lack the zeal you used to have in life, then I have some news for you.
00:12:11.000While back, I found a liquid supplement called Strong Cell, and it changed my health in a very profound way.
00:12:25.000Google and look up online what happens when you mix NADH with CoQ10 and marine collagen and combined with many other essential vitamins to boost your body's cellular function.
00:12:45.000After taking Strong Cell for six weeks, I found improvement in many areas, less shoulder pain, improved mental clarity, increased natural energy, and so much more.
00:12:52.000I'm thankful that Charlie Kirk recommended this to his listeners.
00:12:55.000Rebecca says, I absolutely love Strong Cell.
00:12:58.000At first, I didn't think it would make much of a difference for my chronic fatigue, depression, and anxiety, but I thought I'd give it a chance.
00:13:03.000I've tried to find depression meds for 10 years.
00:13:06.000And since you Strong Cell, I'm feeling better than I ever have on depression medication.
00:13:11.000Customer for life, thank you, Charlie Kirk, for recommending this product.
00:13:14.000Dr. Mark Ahern said, quote, amazing product has helped my patients, myself tremendously.
00:13:19.000My energy feels like I'm in my 20s again.
00:14:53.000It sounds like if you're on X, formerly known as Twitter, that you are being served up neo-Nazi content and that it's all being tied together with these big brands.
00:15:04.000Well, as you pointed out, this is, they created fake accounts to follow neo-Nazis, and then they say that they got those ads served.
00:15:12.000Well, we did the same thing as any journalist should have done as soon as they heard about this.
00:16:00.000Michael Siefer continues with us, publicsquare, publicsquare.com.
00:16:05.000So, Michael, I think we need to do more to get our side to, especially this Christmas season, they say that 20% of consumer purchases the whole year are made in like 30 days.
00:16:46.000Yeah, you know, what's interesting, Charlie, is that once Q4 happens and Christmas shopping season is behind us, analysts and journalists in the economic space are waiting to hear how did companies perform during Christmas shopping season.
00:17:01.000And what would be wonderful to see is if the companies that have stifled your ability to speak, that have lectured you about progressive political views while you're just trying to engage in the marketplace or have even canceled you because of your political views in the cases like we've seen with some banks and financial institutions.
00:17:17.000It would be wonderful to see their consumer spending efforts plummeted while the patriot economy, the parallel economy, is actually surging.
00:17:26.000I would love to see a Christmas shopping season where platforms like Rumble and Public Square and X and different incredible companies like your sponsors on your show, Charlie, are thriving coming out of this Christmas season while other companies like Target are still having to learn the lesson because clearly they haven't learned.
00:17:43.000And Target came out last week and hired another LGBTQ plus activist to lead their brand awareness as it relates to the progressive campaigns.
00:17:51.000The CEO lied about hiring the Satanist designer, which we know for a fact was true.
00:17:56.000We've seen that these companies have refused to learn their lesson.
00:17:59.000So it's really important that customers stop funding what they do not believe in.
00:18:04.000If you do not believe in what Target's doing, don't fund it this Christmas season.
00:18:08.000If you don't believe what Amazon's doing, spend your money elsewhere.
00:18:11.000Plus, plus, and this last thing I'll say, Charlie, I know from our family gatherings that my conservative uncle will much prefer that I give him a gift that I found from a business that loves the country and the Constitution and will not lecture me about woke politics rather than vice versa.
00:18:28.000So I would encourage folks, recognize the power in your wallet this Christmas season.
00:18:32.000It'll do more damage to the left than you realize.
00:19:19.000There's a three-part vetting process that we'll walk you through.
00:19:21.000It takes about 24 hours all in, and you'll be live on the platform, able to sell your goods and services to customers that are excited to support you because they know that your values align with theirs.
00:19:31.000If you respect the liberties of our customers, they will reward you financially.
00:19:35.000That's the beauty of the parallel economy.
00:19:37.000It's not only liberating, it is lucrative.
00:19:40.000And while companies like Apple are too cowardly to back free speech, even when it makes them look a little dicey, based upon lies, by the way, the businesses on Public Square actually will respect your liberties, even when it's tough.
00:19:54.000They showed it during the COVID season.
00:19:55.000They're showing it today, and we're proud to back them at publicsquare.com.
00:20:06.000America's colleges and universities today are less concerned with critical thinking than with indoctrination.
00:20:12.000It is no wonder why so many young Americans embrace cancel culture, deny free speech to conservatives, and even celebrate terrorism.
00:20:19.000But I'm happy to report there is one college where students debate ideas openly and honestly, where they pursue truth together with their professors, and where America's great heritage of liberty is studied and revered.
00:20:31.000As stated in Hillsdale's founding document in 1844, Hillsdale's original mission was to offer the kind of serious liberal arts education needed to preserve the blessings of civil and religious liberty across the land.
00:20:42.000And this mission continues to guide Hillsdale College today.
00:20:45.000You can learn more at my favorite college's website, charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:20:49.000There you will find a short video that's just over a minute long showing how Hillsdale's work, not only on its Michigan campus, not only in Washington, D.C. campus, but across the nation is effective in defending American liberty.
00:21:02.000Take some time to watch today at charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:21:47.000Yeah, so we were made aware recently of what's going on with Media Matters.
00:21:50.000As you probably know, fairly liberal pro-democratic organization, which is fine.
00:21:55.000But they are trying to manipulate, it looks like they're trying to manipulate the platform of X, formerly known as Twitter, to make it look like they're racist and they tried to tie those racist ads that were created to some of the major advertisers on Twitter to hurt their business.
00:22:13.000Obviously, that affects consumers, and that's what we're looking into as a matter of law.
00:22:18.000Have they violated our fraud laws and have they violated some laws as it relates to being a nonprofit?
00:22:24.000So, you know, this is an important measure that you're taking here.
00:22:35.000Walk us through some of the specifics.
00:22:37.000So right now, it's a civil investigation.
00:22:39.000I don't have the authority as attorney general to do criminal investigations.
00:22:41.000That would be up to local district attorneys, which I wouldn't even believe that they would even start looking into this, but hopefully some of them will.
00:22:50.000But we're looking at the civil side and we have two angles.
00:22:52.000We have the nonprofit angle because we're responsible as the Attorney General's office for overseeing charities, not necessarily helping them.
00:23:00.000We're supposed to make sure that they treat people the way they're supposed to treat them as charities.
00:23:04.000And second, we have the ability to look at corporations.
00:23:08.000If they commit fraud, it's one of the four things that I'm directed by the state constitution to make sure that corporations that commit fraud are held accountable.
00:23:16.000So right now, we're just at the very beginning stages of looking at both of those issues.
00:23:48.000You have some other really major announcements, but I want to just kind of close the Media Matters.
00:23:52.000The Media Matters hit job that they did on X got several major companies to drop ads on X.
00:23:58.000So theoretically, Ken, if Media Matters indeed created something fraudulently, there are material damages here that could be proven.
00:24:08.000I mean, X could say, hey, we lost $60 million in ad revenue because of this sort of report.
00:24:15.000Yeah, well, one, we can take away, if we find that they violated state law and it's extreme, we can take away their ability to do business in Texas.
00:24:24.000So they wouldn't be able to operate here.
00:24:26.000Secondly, another measure was to go after them for any type of damages.
00:24:31.000And those are damages to consumers because if they are affecting companies and they are affecting consumers' belief about those companies, obviously there are damages involved.
00:24:41.000And we have a right as the state of Texas to go after those damages.
00:24:50.000Yeah, so their ADHD drug that I can barely pronounce is called equivalent, I think.
00:24:57.000We're concerned, and we sued them over this just this week.
00:25:02.000And we believe that they misled consumers about the efficacy and the strength of that drug and its effects.
00:25:09.000And so right now we're suing them for that because that also is within our purview to sue as a deceptive trade practices and try to recover damages for the consumers that have been misled.
00:25:20.000Yeah, I want to build this out a little bit.
00:25:32.000Well, you know, it's funny you say that because three weeks after I announced an investigation of three major drug manufacturers for the vaccines that they were pushing on people, that's when the impeachment occurred three weeks later.
00:25:47.000We were further down the road on this one.
00:25:49.000But we also have an investigation as to whether they misled people about the vaccine, both the side effects and the efficacy.
00:25:55.000So there could be more with Pfizer, depending on what we find as we go forward.
00:25:59.000Have you received on the Media Matters or the Pfizer any other state AGs that are going to come alongside you?
00:26:06.000And when they come alongside, is that helpful or is that duplicative?
00:26:09.000I mean, Missouri, I think, angled in some way that they might do that.
00:26:15.000No, I think it's better if more come alongside.
00:26:18.000I've always encouraged other attorney generals to get involved to look at this, especially if we find wrongdoing.
00:26:23.000They should be held accountable, not just in Texas, but in Missouri or Florida or Utah or wherever they operate.
00:26:31.000My guess is Media Matters and also Pfizer operate in all 50 states.
00:26:37.000Yeah, they operate in all 50 states and they feel as if they can act with impunity.
00:26:41.000And I mean, the left has unapologetically come after so many people, right?
00:26:48.000And you look at Media Matters, they might have pushed too far here.
00:26:52.000They might have been cute by half and they never thought the world's richest man and then also the attorney general of Texas might investigate them.
00:27:03.000Ken, if you had criminal investigative authority in Texas, do you think that would be more effective just theoretically in your ability to find fraud?
00:27:12.000Well, look, I don't know the criminal statutes related to this because we can't do anything about it.
00:27:19.000If there's been a crime committed, if they've done something criminally wrong, like defrauding a company, then I think that ought to be looked at by district attorneys in Texas and elsewhere.
00:27:31.000They shouldn't be able to get away with harming another business and harming consumers without some type of accountability and at least being looked at.
00:27:39.000And finding out what is the truth here.
00:27:42.000So you have so much, Ken, that you've been doing post the acquittal.
00:27:46.000I know immigration has been a big one as well.
00:27:48.000What's the latest with the Biden regime's open border policy?
00:27:54.000So one of the frustrations I had sitting on the sidelines because I couldn't do anything for three and a half months.
00:27:58.000And so a lot of things didn't happen that otherwise would have happened.
00:28:02.000So I noticed, of course, that there were things going on with immigration.
00:28:05.000And as soon as I got back into office, obviously I couldn't make everything happen in the first week or two.
00:28:10.000But within about a month, we filed another lawsuit on immigration because I watched while I was off, I watched how the federal government, the Border Patrol decided to start cutting down our fences and our wire along the border that were related to Texas property.
00:28:26.000So we sued over that and we got an immediate injunction in district court.
00:28:30.000So we're in that fight with the Biden administration trying to protect our property.
00:28:34.000I'm also very excited about the legislature passing a border security bill that I've been asking for for years, which would challenge potentially the USB, Arizona case, which I think was completely wrongly decided back in the Obama administration.
00:28:47.000And that's in this case, we're actually going to arrest illegals.
00:28:51.000And of course, the federal government, I don't think they're going to lush that.
00:28:54.000And hopefully we'll end up getting this case overturned because it was clearly wrongly decided.
00:29:00.000The impact on our state has been tremendous.
00:29:03.000And if we can't enforce laws, the federal government won't, then we have to sit here and take it.
00:29:36.000Two conservatives, supposedly, Justice Kennedy wrote the opinion.
00:29:39.000Justice Roberts joined him along with three liberals, and they said that because it was federal law that was already passed, even if the federal government didn't enforce it, the Arizona government couldn't pass laws that were the same and couldn't enforce those laws.
00:29:55.000The problem is we've seen the consequences of that.
00:29:57.000The Biden administration has all these laws that they're supposed to be enforcing.
00:30:01.000They knowingly and purposely don't enforce them.
00:30:05.000And the consequences affect states like Arizona and Texas in a very negative way with drug trafficking, sex trafficking, human trafficking, all the crime that we have to deal with.
00:30:14.000And it cannot be that the federal government can have these laws in place, not enforce them and say, and we're going to stop Texas from protecting its citizens.
00:30:36.000I don't know that we can make them do it.
00:30:38.000We've tried to do that with all these lawsuits, and we've had some success in stopping them from doing certain things and making them do other things.
00:31:38.000At least we have you in Texas to do something that maybe can have overarching federal precedent when the Biden regime then says, well, the border is perfectly secure.
00:31:47.000Our immigration policy is perfectly fine.
00:32:01.000That's why I wanted the legislature to pass a bill like this because the real challenge, if we can get USB Arizona overturned, I mean, declaring an invasion, what would that do?
00:32:12.000That doesn't really help us because then we all know that the Border Patrol basically accepts every person that comes to the border from the cartel and it's all processed through them because it used to be, you know, Border Patrol, people ran from them, tried to hide.
00:32:26.000Now we would have to get into some kind of altercation with Border Patrol, which I don't think is reasonable or possible.
00:32:35.000And so the best way that I have thought of that we could overcome this problem, the federal government not enforcing law and actually doing just the opposite, is to basically take on that decision so that we can step into the shoes of the federal government, at least in the places that we have control.
00:32:49.000It wouldn't solve the whole problem, but it would help us with some of it.
00:32:55.000All right, everybody, the holidays and big family feasts are upon us.
00:32:59.000But in D.C., there's no bigger turkey than Senate Bill 1339.
00:33:03.000It's still being pushed by that radical rascal, Bernie Sanders.
00:33:11.000Senate Bill 1339 is Bernie's latest attempt to sneak in a backdoor takeover of more of our health care.
00:33:16.000He falsely claims it will lower prescription drug prices.
00:33:19.000But S1339 will actually just do the opposite.
00:33:22.000It'll handcuff pharmacy benefit managers who are currently saving millions of dollars on an average of $1,040 a year.
00:33:28.000Bernie is hoping that despite thousands of your fellow Americans already going to lowermydrugprices.com to stand up against S-1339, you'll be too busy making holiday plans or getting ready for a year-end vacation to stop him from a power grab on your healthcare.
00:33:42.000So here's what's happening: the Marxist, the commie, he's trying to put this bill in.
00:33:49.000I'm urging you to keep up the pressure against passage of S1339 by going to lowermydrugprices.com.
00:33:56.000The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste says: if you don't want a socialized system that takes away your personal health care choices, increases costs, and makes you wait longer to see the doctor, go today to lower mydrugprices.com to stop the Senate from passing the Sanders bill.
00:34:09.000Remember, we have momentum, but we need your help today.
00:34:11.000The Charlie Kirk show brought to you in part by Council for Citizens Against Government Waste.
00:34:17.000We must stop it, lower mydrugprices.com.
00:34:23.000So let me ask you, Ken, this was going viral yesterday.
00:34:26.000There was a decision in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals throwing out Mark Elias' strategy of using private lawsuits to undermine election integrity laws.
00:34:34.000Is there any hope for getting that ruling extended to Texas?
00:34:38.000So one of the problems we have in Texas is we were prosecuting voter fraud.
00:34:44.000One of the things that happened about two years ago is the Court of Criminal Appeals struck down my ability to deal with voter fraud issues.
00:34:51.000And they did it on the basis that I'm in the executive branch and I'm not allowed to go to court because that's judicial and it's a separation of powers.
00:35:56.000There's been tens of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:35:59.000Robert Francis O'Rourke running, and Texas is still a Republican plus 10, Republican plus 12, Republican plus 15 state, despite all the efforts to change it.
00:36:10.000Trump is polling great with Hispanics.
00:36:12.000If Hispanics become some 50-50 voter group, the entire Democrat project fails.
00:36:16.000I think Texas was predicted to fall, kind of like how Arizona is, unfortunately.
00:36:22.000But you guys kept your have your act together.
00:36:25.000I think it's one of the more positive stories of the last couple of years.
00:36:28.000No, there's no doubt we're the top target.
00:36:31.000And that's the reason that Soros has focused on district attorneys in the liberal cities and making sure that he's got his people elected there who won't prosecute crime, including voter fraud.
00:36:40.000He's also worked on the Court of Criminal Appeals.
00:36:43.000They wanted my position because they take that and there's no way to fix this voter issue.
00:36:53.000We were prosecuting over 900 cases before I got taken out of that by the Court of Criminal Appeals.
00:36:58.000And so because we've been able to protect our elections, we were able to protect the election that Trump ran in in 2016 by winning 12 lawsuits in these very liberal counties that were trying to overturn our election laws.
00:37:43.000Other lawsuits you have that you want to mention, things that you guys are working on?
00:37:46.000Yeah, I mean, there's one really huge one that we got pulled back to Texas by getting a law passed in Congress to allow us to have our own state attorney general file a lawsuit where he or she wanted to, and that was our cases against Google.
00:37:59.000And so we are in a pretty fast mood to do that lawsuit in Texas that would hopefully undo some of the monopolistic powers that they have and some of the control over advertising on the media so that there's more freedom on the internet.
00:38:14.000We very much focused on tech, these tech lawsuits, and we're looking pretty successful so far.
