00:00:00.000Hey everybody, what is going on in Arizona with the audit and more?
00:00:03.000Well, Congressman Andy Biggs from Arizona has the answers.
00:00:07.000Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:10.000I want to see you in Tampa, Florida for our student action summit where we have the biggest names in the movement, Kaylee McInane, Mike Pompeo, Donald Trump Jr., Dan Bongino.
00:01:11.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:23.000Did you get hit with a big tax bill you weren't expecting?
00:01:26.000With rates still being very low and home equity being high, it's the perfect time to refinance and get some cash out of your home.
00:01:33.000If you have to take out a loan, don't go to the big banks where you know they don't share your values.
00:01:37.000And at any time, they might kick out conservatives from using their banks.
00:01:41.000Remember Tucker Carlson revealing that Bank of America probably unconstitutionally and maybe outside of the law, who knows, handed over depositing information and credit card transactions to the federal government to try to target conservatives.
00:03:04.000AndrewandTodd.com called 888 888 1172, 888 888 1172 and, by the way, you might be working through a loan with a big bank and you might be up to your neck in paperwork.
00:03:13.000It's not too late to pull the cord and transfer that over to someone who loves the lord and loves the country Andrewandtodd.com.
00:04:08.000It's too bad what's happening to Arizona politically.
00:04:10.000We'll talk about that in just a second.
00:04:12.000I want to get into some of the breaking news.
00:04:14.000I have had more people send me this story over the last 24 hours and ask questions about this around Tucker Carlson's monologue around this accusation that the government was involved in the events on January the 6th, that there were paid government FBI agents allegedly amongst the midst.
00:04:35.000Congressman, these are very serious charges and accusations.
00:04:38.000It's pointing to look like that's the case.
00:04:43.000Well, we just had Christopher Ray come and testify to us this week.
00:04:47.000He testified in front of the judiciary last week.
00:04:50.000And to hear him speak, you would not have gotten that impression that, but I am starting to see the same information that you are, and it demands answers.
00:05:04.000In fact, one thing that Christopher Ray said to us both last week and yesterday was that they were investigating people before January 6th, but none of the people they were investigating even showed up on January 6th, and none were arrested.
00:05:22.000None participated in the January 6th breach of the Capitol.
00:05:27.000So it is actually very troublesome to hear what's out there, and we need to get to the bottom of that.
00:05:35.000Yeah, so in Congressman, if there is truth to this, I think you need to start the Biggs Community Committee, just like we had the Pike Committee.
00:05:44.000Because back in the 1970s, you remember this.
00:05:47.000This was a big deal where we were revealed, we had to say, slow down intelligence committee.
00:05:52.000And that's where we found out about Operation Artichoke, Operation CouncilPro, all these different operations.
00:05:58.000And it ended up reforming the intelligence service for the better for the following decades.
00:06:04.000I mean, these are some very potentially serious accusations that the Bureau was in the crowd amongst this, and they didn't do anything to stop it.
00:06:14.000Yeah, I mean, if that's the case, I mean, it's one thing there's always been allegations of the media being in there, right?
00:06:21.000I mean, and we've seen some evidence of that.
00:06:24.000But if you have law enforcement that's there that could have stopped, thwarted, whatever, and they didn't, that's a problem.
00:06:36.000But moreover, Charlie, I mean, think about this.
00:06:41.000The FBI director said that the vast majority of people there were peaceful, peaceful protesters.
00:06:47.000They were rowdy, but they were peaceful.
00:06:50.000And were they infiltrating a peaceful protest?
00:06:58.000So right now, we kind of were talking hypotheticals based on some reports and information that are coming out.
00:07:06.000We need to actually get to the bottom of that because we need clear answers, we need clarity, and where necessary, there needs to be reform, but also, if necessary, some discipline.
00:07:28.000And maybe I'm naive, but when I find out there's as many as 20 FBI agents in plain clothing amongst in a political rally for a current president, you think about this, Congressman.
00:07:43.000This is not some sort of far-off thing that's happening in, you know, just some small gathering in the hills.
00:07:51.000I mean, this was a rally for a sitting president.
00:07:55.000And so I'm glad that you share my concern with this.
00:07:58.000Christopher Wright, I think, has been lying about this for quite some time.
00:08:02.000And this might be a thread that actually unfolds something a lot deeper and a lot more unfortunately sophisticated of what our government's been potentially doing to infiltrate political groups.
00:08:13.000And Congressman, I got to also ask: have we ever actually been able to get any assurances the FBI's been reformed?
00:08:19.000Who they did with Peter Strzzok and Lisa Page and James Comey?
00:08:24.000And I know that you've been on this case.
00:08:26.000Do we have any answers to provide our voters?
00:08:31.000Well, before you leave the next topic, and then let's come to this.
00:08:35.000I would just say, I want to know if there were 20 FBI agents and they were not there for security for the president, why were they in that crisis?
00:08:45.000Yeah, I mean, because I would expect there to be some security for the president, maybe in plain clothes to make sure that the president is safe.
00:08:53.000But if they're there for any other purpose, then that's problematic.
00:08:56.000Okay, so where have there been reforms?
00:08:59.000I mean, I specifically asked questions of Director Ray last week about FISA abuse.
00:09:23.000So I want the Inspector General to be there and to be looking at this thing.
00:09:28.000And when the Inspector General has looked at it, or when the FISA court has looked at it, and FISA is, that's how they spy on Americans, right?
00:09:37.000They have said that there's widespread abuse of the FISA system and the FISC, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
00:09:47.000I don't know if there's been any reform.
00:09:50.000We still, I was, I'm glad you brought up Durham.
00:09:53.000I literally this morning I was looking at a report and I found myself saying, where's Durham?
00:11:02.000And so I find myself going, well, whether he is still doing it or not, in some ways, is totally irrelevant unless he just pops up out of nowhere and gives us some information that is a particular clarifying.
00:11:16.000And so far, I doubt that's going to ever happen.
00:11:21.000Who's your wireless provider, ATT, Verizon, or T-Mobile?
00:11:24.000What if I told you PeerTalk uses the exact same network as one of those carriers, same towers, same exact coverage, but it literally costs you half?
00:12:28.000And when you do, you save 50% off your first month.
00:12:33.000Well, it's this theme, though, Congressman.
00:12:35.000And this is why I think Republicans have got to take back the majority because there is no oversight of the intelligence community right now.
00:12:42.000And this is what so frustrates me about the Senate.
00:12:45.000We never should have lost the Senate, but Lindsey Graham didn't do his job.
00:12:48.000He had a chance when he was judiciary chairman and he was over whatever he was in the Senate last year to really get the security apparatus to heal and to get them in line and get some answers.
00:13:00.000And Congressman, we're seeing this theme.
00:13:02.000I mean, Peter Strzok is teaching college courses.
00:13:04.000Meanwhile, you have guys that walked into the Capitol and took selfies on January 6th, not defending it, going into Capitol.
00:13:11.000It's not minimizing walking to the Capitol.
00:13:14.000They're in solitary confinement, literally.
00:13:17.000And so we have a very scary situation here, Congress.
00:13:20.000And you and I both share a love for liberty, the ability to pursue virtue, which means we also are really fearful of the abuse of power and especially from the security apparatus.
00:13:44.000I mean, look, we have members of Congress who were referred to the Department of Justice for investigation by Democrats because of January 6th.
00:14:00.000We have the FBI is reportedly geo-fencing members of Congress' cell phones to see if, I mean, you start thinking about that.
00:14:15.000That is an attack on the Republic of the United States of America.
00:14:20.000Then you look at the double standard that we've seen where we've spent all this time in Congress going back and re-litigating January 6th and white nationalism and domestic terrorism.
00:14:49.000But you know where the real insurrection is?
00:14:51.000It's in the riots that have been going on for over a year by BLM and Antifa that have, through a three-week period last summer, over $2 billion in damage.
00:15:02.000Dozens of people killed, others injured.
00:15:06.000And their purpose is legitimately, as they have said, to change the government to a Marxist socialist government.
00:15:34.000We don't even know if I've ever met that guy.
00:15:38.000But because there's a tweet out there, they're going to investigate members of Congress that are conservatives, but they're not going to investigate these people torching federal buildings in Minneapolis and Portland.
00:15:53.000Even worse than that, Congressman, you have first-degree murderers that are on bail by afternoon the next day in Chicago.
00:16:01.000And then you have someone that comes in who takes a selfie in the Capitol Rotunda and they get treated as if they're Eric Rudolph or Ted Kaczynski.
00:16:12.000And I'm glad that you're focusing on this.
00:16:16.000And I mean, there's a deeper game at play here.
00:16:22.000And this is all about political power.
00:16:24.000So, Congressman, there's a lot of things I want to ask you about.
00:17:25.000And I was glad to see Manchin not just say that he wants to hold the filibuster, but also say he doesn't like the actual parts of the bill.
00:17:33.000And on this program, we call things as they are.
00:17:36.000I mean, Kirsten Cinema, she's nuttier than a fruitcake, but I got to give her credit for at least holding the line on the filibuster.
00:18:09.000And I will tell you, she's had this position on the filibuster for two decades.
00:18:15.000And so she's tough, and she's very tough.
00:18:18.000And I will tell you, they are trying to go after Manchin and Senator Cinema.
00:18:24.000When I say they, the left, the Democrats, because the filibuster is basically holding up the whole socialist, neo-fascist, left-wing agenda.
00:18:34.000And so I tell Kirsten all the time, you know, first of all, thanks.
00:19:41.000And then also just walk us through the importance of this audit.
00:19:46.000Well, I'll just give you the timeline first, Charlie.
00:19:49.000I've been told that they think that you're going to have most of the audit completed by the end of June, and they'll have the report out sometime early to mid-July.
00:20:28.000I think that's the bare minimum you can ask for any audit that deals with the most important institution in America, which is the franchise.
00:21:11.000There's been every effort made to stop the audit.
00:21:14.000And I have found myself wondering about the motivations of people who want to do everything in their power to stop an audit that basically we, like I said, is an important institution in this country, but we do audits on private businesses, private trusts, all kinds of things all the time.
00:21:38.000Recount's not going to detect any kind of flaw or fraud.
00:21:43.000In fact, a recount better could be the same.
00:21:46.000So you could have spoiled or illegal ballots, and you better get the same number of illegal ballots the second time because that's the count.
00:21:54.000But when you do an audit, you're looking for mistakes, you're looking for errors, you're looking for, in some cases, criminality.
00:22:44.000But that's something we have seen under the Obama administration and under the Biden administration already.
00:22:51.000So it wasn't necessarily surprising, but particularly vexing, Charlie, is that the administrator, the law, the assistant to Merrick Garland who sent that letter is so biased.
00:23:06.000She's the head of the civil rights division of the DOJ.
00:23:10.000She's the same lady who testified in our committee here made fun of Baron Trump's name, a child of former President Trump.
00:23:23.000She has basically put out some of the most hateful and nasty tweets and information.
00:23:30.000I was at that hearing when she made that statement and issued her very half-witted apology that was no apology at all and not even a justification.
00:23:42.000She hates Donald Trump and she hates people who support Donald Trump.
00:23:46.000And so you're seeing the weaponization of the police apparatus of the state.
00:23:54.000You mentioned intelligence, but you couple the intelligence apparatus with the police apparatus at the highest levels being corrupted by political purpose.
00:24:05.000And that's what should put fear in our hearts and help us work harder to clean up the government.
00:24:16.000Hey, guys, you guys have heard me talk with my friend Kelly Shackelford before.
00:24:20.000Kelly Shackelford from First Liberty is a good person.
00:24:23.000Look, we've talked about court packing.
00:24:25.000It's the tool of left-wing authoritarians.
00:24:27.000Hugo Chavez packed Venezuela's Supreme Court with his socialist cronies and paved the way for his tyrannical regime.
00:24:34.000But now Joe Biden and American socialist radicals want to pack our Supreme Court with four new liberal justices.
00:24:40.000Court packing isn't some policy idea to improve our courts.
00:24:43.000It's a coup, a coup to take away your constitutional freedoms and turn America into a socialist country.
00:24:49.000That's why First Liberty Institute, the largest legal organization in the nation dedicated to defending religious liberty in America, is doing something about it.
00:24:57.000First Liberty recently launched supremecoup.com.
00:25:00.000That's supremecoup.com to serve as a one-stop shop in the fight against court packing and help patriots like you learn the truth about what's happening in the courts.
00:25:09.000But more importantly, there's a big take action button so you could do something to stop the Supreme Court coup.
00:25:15.000So do me a favor, support Kelly Shackelford in this and get involved.
00:25:19.000If you want to defend our God-given freedoms and stop the left's court packing scheme, head over to supremecou.com slash Kirk.
00:25:48.000There's a couple other things I want to explore with you in regards to Congress.
00:25:51.000And I'm going to talk about 2022 and what we have to do to take back the House because we just need political power, then we need to be willing to do something with it.
00:25:58.000Can you walk through how Congress has changed?
00:26:00.000Do you guys have committee meetings anymore?
00:26:33.000They were just, we'd have hearings, but they were all about January 6th and domestic violence, not domestic violence, but domestic terrorism, those types of things.
00:26:46.000They got all the terrible bills, not all of them, but a significant number of the terrible bills, anti-police bills, H.R. 1, Quality Act, you name it.
00:28:35.000Oh, I mean, look, I don't have to go through a magnetometer anywhere else.
00:28:39.000I can wander all over the Capitol complex, but when I go to the floor, I've got to go through the magnetometer because the media is all gathered there.
00:28:47.000The left-wing media is all gathered there to show that we're going through.
00:28:54.000And it's this laughable thing because they're more afraid of Andy Biggs and Lowen Barbert and Marjorie Taylor Greene than they are anywhere else.
00:29:04.000And I think some of it's theater, but I actually think some of it they've actually convinced themselves of it.
00:29:10.000I think some of these people deep down actually are so afraid of Republicans that they've actually come to that so bizarre and ridiculous kind of realization or lack thereof.
00:29:26.000So let's talk about Arizona, Congressman.
00:29:28.000You've said maybe you're going to run, maybe you're not going to run, or I don't know if you've made a decision about running or thinking about almost maybe possibly could be running.
00:30:11.000But I think there's some stuff we can do that I can do in the House.
00:30:15.000And I'll tell you, let's be candid, Charlie.
00:30:17.000When I was at the Biden speech, I had to come to the Biden speech, the joint session of Congress, and I saw those folks coming in from the Senate, some of whom are really good friends.
00:30:27.000I said to myself, man, I would have to be in the House two more years and then in the Senate, six years at least, and then maybe another six.
00:30:36.000That would be eight to 14 years more in United States Congress.
00:30:39.000And I don't want to be here that long.
00:30:41.000So I said, there's no way I can, I can't imagine running and being in Washington, D.C. that much longer.
00:30:47.000Well, you're making a difference, so don't leave yet.
00:30:50.000You know, people say, Charlie, are you going to run for office?
00:31:27.000We're doing everything we possibly can to try to change the hearts and the minds and the political trajectory of Arizona, doing that through our political arm 501c4.
00:32:54.000Yeah, so the second thing I think we need to do is we need to focus on redistricting because the redistricting is so powerful.
00:33:04.000We started off 10 years ago with a super majority in the state legislature.
00:33:09.000And because of the way that the IRC Independent Redistricting Commission came in, we started losing seats every year until they're hanging on by a thread in the state legislature.
00:33:35.000The other thing I'll tell you: you got to reform the initiative process, which is now totally co-opted by California and out-of-state folks.
00:33:45.000And then we've got to work harder and smarter.
00:33:49.000But, Charlie, I believe truly Arizona is a center-right state.
00:33:56.000Yeah, and so we can't, we can't, you know.
00:34:00.000So, Mark Kelly, you brought him up earlier.
00:34:03.000So, Mark Kelly, he is so totally bunkered like Joe Biden was.
00:34:11.000But if you can't get Democrats who support the Second Amendment rights to come walk across because he is so anti-Second Amendment, it's not funny.
00:34:58.000If we start doing that, I think we can win.
00:35:00.000Now, I tell you, Charlie, the Arizona Senate, U.S. Senate race, that's going to be a $250 million race between Democrats and Republicans and outside groups coming in.
00:35:16.000And then you start throwing the gubernatorial race, which I think is going to be a $40 to $50 million race.
00:35:22.000And then you start looking at redistricted Congress, congressional seats, and you start looking at redistricted state legislative races, which are going to cost more than ever.
00:35:33.000You're talking probably $400 million worth of elections next year.
00:35:39.000And so that makes it hard to communicate.
00:35:42.000That's why we need to be out in front of it now.
00:35:45.000And that's why what you guys are doing is so important because you guys provide narrative support and you get it out there.
00:35:50.000And I'll just conclude my points on this.
00:35:53.000Freedom Caucus is producing and will have, it'll be a platform that I think will appeal not just to right-wing conservatives, not just to soft Republicans, but to independents, party non-declared, and more moderate Democrats.
00:36:15.000There are places we agree, which is why Congress is so bizarre right now, because they're so far to the left, they don't want to work with the Republicans.
00:36:22.000But the reality is there's a lot of points that we can agree on.
00:36:27.000And if inflation continues, which it's going to continue because there's so much money being junked around out there, our currency is totally devalued right now.
00:36:36.000We're going to see people wanting a change of direction.
00:37:27.000The ban on federal vaccine passports should be anybody, any entity that's receiving federal money doing business with the federal government, they can't have those kind of vaccine mandates.
