00:00:01.000How do you impact your local elections?
00:00:03.000Well, it's an Ask Me Anything episode where I start with some questions about some unfortunate police killings and also how to make a local impact.
00:00:10.000We have two special guests that help walk you through that and an Arizona update as well.
00:00:15.000It's Monday, so I'm taking your questions that you've emailed me, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:19.000You can email me them all throughout the week.
00:00:21.000I love learning from you and I love hearing from you.
00:01:03.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:04:47.000But what's so interesting about all of this is, and this is where I have a little bit of a different take, is that Alvin Bragg is doing everything he was elected to do.
00:05:02.000This is not some sort of game where Alvin Bragg, who is now being blamed by widows of fallen cops for their death or for the increase in crime, he ran on this and people voted for it.
00:05:16.000If you go to alvinbragg.com and you go through his issues, he's really clear about this.
00:05:25.000He's clear that he believes that the justice system is so rigged, so backwards, I should say, that he needs to do something about it.
00:05:36.000So Alvin Bragg, it shows on his website, black people are at risk every moment of every day, the new DA of Manhattan says.
00:05:44.000Prosecutorial discretion, the prosecutor's role in curbing infections in prisons.
00:05:50.000Alvin Bragg wrote, quote, the tax on being black in America, prosecutors must come down hard on white women who call the cops, who called the cops on black birdwatcher.
00:06:00.000Alvin Bragg wrote, quote, how to hold cops legally accountable for killings, Alvin Bragg wrote.
00:06:08.000Quote, Eric Garner is proof that we need to have reform laws and excessive force.
00:06:13.000Quote, prosecutors must help those with criminal records secure jobs.
00:07:13.000I mean, that looks like a scene out of Batman.
00:07:15.000Thousands and thousands and thousands of New York police officers that are honoring the fallen.
00:07:22.000Now, this is not just isolated to New York, I should say.
00:07:28.000Suspect charged in Texas corporal's shooting death entered the United States illegally.
00:07:34.000Suspect charged with capital murder in the shooting death of Texas corporal during a Houston traffic stop last weekend was a citizen of El Salvador and previously entered the United States illegally.
00:07:46.000Jose Oscar Rosales, a 50-year-old citizen of El Salvador, was arrested Wednesday in Ciudad de Acuna, Mexico, for the killing of Harris County Corporal Charles Galloway.
00:07:58.000Quote: Rosales previously illegally entered the United States on an unknown date at an unknown location without inspection or parole by the United States immigration officials and later fled to Mexico after allegedly murdering a Harris County, Texas constables constable.
00:08:16.000See, I grew up north of the Mason-Dixon line.
00:08:19.000We didn't have such constables or constables there.
00:08:23.000So, the issue is that you know what's so interesting?
00:08:27.000So, he murders a police officer and then he goes back to Mexico.
00:08:32.000It's like, I'm going to go live in America and try to get as much money, but if I'm trying to flee crime, I'm trying to go back to Mexico.
00:08:40.000Laura has emailed us because I'm taking your questions: freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:08:45.000She says, I believe America is becoming a third world country.
00:08:48.000Charlie, I believe we are witnessing a real-life Atlas-shrugged scenario.
00:08:52.000If you haven't read the book, now's a good time to do so, or at least get the cliff notes.
00:08:58.000I actually paused reading it for a couple months for a variety of different reasons.
00:09:02.000It's a little bit too materialistic for my liking, and some of the philosophy there is awfully flawed.
00:09:07.000However, I will give Ayn Rand credit for her diction, her prose, her talent as a writer, and her, let's say, anticipation of how collectivism and tyranny truly does choke the spirit and the soul of a nation.
00:09:19.000I think she's a very gifted writer in that sense, and she was a vehement anti-communist because she actually lived under communism.
00:09:26.000Kirjo emailed us: speaking of rule of law, why doesn't the smuggling of illegal aliens into the country by the United States government violate Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution, which guarantees, quote, to every state in this union a Republican form of government and protects, quote, each of them against invasion?
00:09:44.000How can a state have a Republican form of government if the U.S. government, without their consent, deposits massive numbers of unchecked people into their states?
00:10:44.000Article 4, Section 4 of the United States Constitution guarantees to every state in this union a Republican form of government and protects each of them against invasion.
00:10:53.000So what happens when the federal government forgoes its responsibility and we are legitimately invaded from the southern border?
00:11:03.000And you might say, Charlie, it's not invasion.
00:12:29.000So you get the much stronger dollar that then gets remitted back to pesos.
00:12:37.000So the South American, Central American, and Mexican government, not only do they get their criminals out of their country, so their crime goes down, for every criminal that comes here, it's one less rapist, one less murderer, one less arsonist, one less drug trafficker that's in Mexico.
00:12:53.000And they got plenty of criminals in Mexico.
00:12:54.000The cartels have institutionalized it.
00:12:56.000But it's for them, and Trump wasn't wrong when he said this.
00:13:03.000You think the El Salvador government was upset that Jose Oscar Oscar Rosales, 50-year-old citizen of El Salvador, killed somebody in America?
00:13:13.000Maybe I'm not upset about that, but they were probably like, well, at least he didn't do it in our country.
00:13:17.000Remittances is one of the least talked about economic reasons why the southern border never gets built.
00:13:26.000Big corporations benefit tremendously through the financial incentives of remittances.
00:13:33.000And also, foreign governments lobby our own government very hard to continue these open border policies.
00:13:39.000All the while the rule of law is deteriorated.
00:13:41.000And very smart comment from Joe: Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution guarantees to every state in its union a Republican form of government and protects each of them against invasion.
00:13:51.000I don't think that would go very far in the courts.
00:13:53.000Alexander Hamilton properly and correctly, I should say, correctly predicted the courts will always go the way of public opinion.
00:14:00.000And right now, public opinion is not that this is an invasion.
00:14:02.000We could try to change that opinion, but the more you get invaded and all of a sudden then they become the new citizens, they're probably not going to view that as an invasion.
00:14:11.000You only got so much of a population you could work with for some time that will view the cartels that are smuggling girls, the Sinola cartel that is bringing across fentanyl or heroin.
00:14:22.000Most of the fentanyl comes from China, by the way.
00:14:26.000Open border policies, they're bad for communities, they're bad for gun crime, they're bad for drugs, they're bad for wages, bad for the rule of law.
00:14:36.000Two million people that crossed into our country.
00:14:39.000Yes, it is a violation of Article 4, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution.
00:14:45.000I want to take a moment and thank Patriot Mobile, my new cell phone provider, for their support.
00:14:50.000Whether it's on this show, other conservative hosts, Turning Point USA, or others, they get it.
00:14:56.000Look, here's how Patriot Mobile works.
00:14:58.000Instead of you using some cell company that runs all these woke TV advertisements that make you cringe during a football game, Patriot Mobile has the same towers, but you are working with a company where any profits they make get given back to pro-life groups, Turning Point USA.
00:15:21.000In fact, they use the same towers as the major carriers.
00:15:24.000They get great nationwide coverage, plus the peace of mind that your money isn't supporting the left.
00:15:29.000Stop giving money to people who hate you.
00:15:31.000So look, when you pay your cell phone bill, if you are paying one of the big guys, you might as well, on your credit card statement, it might as well say BLM.
00:15:38.000You are a donor to BLM if you give money to the major cell phone companies.
00:15:42.000Patriot Mobile has plans to fit any budget, and their 100% U.S.-based customer support team provides exceptional customer support.
00:15:49.000More importantly, Patriot Mobile shares your values and supports organizations fighting for religious freedom, constitutional rights, sanctity of life, and our veteran and first responder heroes.

00:16:19.000Look, Patriot Mobile is what you need right now.
00:16:22.000Stop paying money via your cell phone companies to the left-wing arsonists destroying our country.
00:16:29.000If you wouldn't give money to Planned Parenthood, if you wouldn't give money to Transgender Lobby, if you wouldn't give money to the Alphabet Mafia, if you wouldn't give money to BLM, then why would you do it via your cell phone company?
00:16:39.000You might say, Well, Charlie, I don't know a competitor.
00:18:27.000Well, I was listening to your segment before this.
00:18:30.000You focused a lot on the illegal immigration.
00:18:33.000And I did an interview with another outlet in November of 2020 on the issue of the federal form.
00:18:42.000I'm happy to see that both Representative Jake Hoffman and Senator Townsend is trying to address that issue here locally.
00:18:52.000That is probably what we should be focused on because nationally speaking, we were told that there was no problem with the Biden election, yet the first bill that they introduced in the House was to legalize voting fraud in all 50 states.
00:19:10.000When that couldn't get through, they passed it as HR4.
00:19:13.000Now they've gutted a NASA bill, and now they're trying to slip that in again.
00:19:20.000So, there's only a handful of states in the country that actually require ID and proof of citizenship.
00:19:27.000We passed a proposition many years ago that required that in our state.
00:19:33.000We had a lawsuit that went to the Supreme Court.
00:19:36.000The Supreme Court said that all of the states had to handle the federal form in the same way.
00:19:41.000So there was a compromise reached where those that register to vote on the federal form can vote in federal elections, but not in state elections without proof of citizenship.
00:19:52.000So on the federal form, you're supposed, it's just kind of like you come in and then you get a court date, but you never come back as an illegal immigrant.
00:19:59.000It's the same situation with the voter registration.
00:20:02.000On the federal form, you're supposed to provide proof of citizenship later, but it never is produced.
00:20:07.000So you bring in between two and seven million illegal immigrants, and that's basically what they're attempting to do with the federal form and then HR1, HR4, and then what we've got going on with the NASA bill.
00:20:19.000Election integrity is one of the three main fights we're in, and we have to be vigilant in it, not only here in Arizona with the audit, but everywhere else in the nation.
00:21:11.000So now we have to focus on legislation.
00:21:13.000The good news is, is that in our Senate committee, that's led by Senator Kelly Townsend, another grassroots win for us.
00:21:21.000And so we passed seven election integrity bills at a committee last week.
00:21:26.000We have another several committee bills that are going to be heard on the House.
00:21:31.000And so in the House side, we have Representative Jay Kaufman as vice chair of that.
00:21:36.000And so he's a powerhouse for anyone that knows him.
00:21:38.000So some of the important bills that are up this week are HB 2236, a Jay Kaufman bill.
00:21:45.000This is about, this is stopping automatic voter registration, which is important because there's many people that don't want to be registered to vote.
00:21:52.000That allows for ballot harvesting and a lot of cheating.
00:22:15.000So like I think your listeners need to understand, like initially bail-in ballot sounds very convenient and easy, but the issues start to arise when you're on a permanent voting registration list and you keep getting a ballot.
00:22:34.000The voter lists get worse month after month, year after year.
00:22:38.000And in areas where there aren't good addressing, you can basically create almost as many ballots as you want.
00:22:44.000And when you have voting centers as opposed to precincts, precincts are an ability to audit how many ballots have actually been done.
00:22:51.000When you have a voting center, you can stuff it with as many ballots as you want.
00:22:56.000And if you don't have an ID that's required to submit your ballot at the vote at the precinct, then anybody can bring as many ballots as they want when you're not looking to stuff these envelopes or to stuff these boxes.
00:23:08.000We need to bring that under control nationwide.
00:23:15.000Well, just to his point, we've also had an issue with deceased voters.
00:23:19.000The grassroots did the research to audit the deceased voters, and we got the first indictment of voter fraud in the state last year.
00:23:25.000And so it was not required for the Secretary of State to remove deceased voters until last year.
00:23:33.000And so this automatic voter registration is basically a workaround to try to undo the progress we did last year.
00:23:40.000The next bill that we have up that we need to pay attention to is HB 2492, another Jay Kaufman bill.
00:23:47.000And this is a voter registration verification citizenship requirement.
00:23:52.000So this kind of helps with the issue that we were just talking about with the federal only bills.
00:23:57.000And last week, Kelly Townsend got many of her bills on that passed out of committee.
00:24:02.000Another one that we need to focus on is Kelly Townsend has 1056, which is a very important bill about missed place ballots.
00:24:13.000That one was on the schedule for last week.
00:24:16.000This is going to be that suitcase situation where someone on camera pulls out a suitcase and now, or there's like ballots that were found outside.
00:24:25.000There will be penalties for that to occur and those ballots will be considered invalid.
00:24:29.000So, Dan, are you optimistic or pessimistic?
00:24:32.000We could start to get some of these fixes.
00:24:34.000Well, you know, if we're going to shoot straight, the reality of the situation is grassroots has to beat two parties in order to get it done.
00:24:43.000I have not been at all impressed with Ducey's lack of leadership on the border, lack of leadership on these issues.
00:24:52.000And I'm of the mindset that there might have been a legislature that was in legislator intentionally not bringing them to the floor so he wouldn't have to veto or sign them.
00:25:24.000So I have a little bit of a difference of opinion on this.
00:25:28.000Yes, we do have an establishment faction within the Republican Party, but especially with the work that Dan has done on precinct committeemen, they have been disabled considerably.
00:25:40.000We held the session as the grassroots open to make it the fourth longest session because we would not let the session end until they passed election integrity.
00:25:48.000So I think that we have so much momentum right now that they're not going to get away with not passing it.
00:25:54.000And so I believe that we will have a strong year for election integrity.
00:25:58.000So we have a question here from Cynthia from Tucson, which she says basically, it's a long question.
00:26:04.000She doesn't trust her elections in Tucson at all.
00:26:06.000She thinks that just kind of goes into the abyss.
00:26:09.000What can she do from now till whenever to fix this?
00:26:17.000The left has beat us on voter registration up until these last couple of years, but we have to make a lot of progress on that.
00:26:23.000So register as many voters as possible.
00:26:26.000The second thing is we have the election integrity unit under the AG.
00:26:29.000That's where we have gotten all of our indictments of voter fraud to come from.
00:26:34.000And so we are going to be EZAZ will be teaching our voters how to identify the bad things, what they need to document, and then how to get that information to the election integrity unit so it can be investigated and we can hold people accountable.
00:27:01.000Well, okay, first on the Tucson thing, I am going to be down there with some other trainers this Saturday at the Gaslight Theater starting at 9 a.m. to noon.
00:27:11.000And we will be empowering over 100 precinct committeemen tomorrow.
00:27:18.000And then on the election integrity, Marissa does an outstanding job focusing on the state legislature and individual issues.
00:27:24.000But we also have another group that has teams that we've built over this last year, which is called America PAC.
00:27:30.000Through all these precinct committeemen that we recruited, we developed teams.
00:27:34.000So we've got a school board team, a city council team, an election integrity team, and we've got a state legislature team.
00:27:39.000And that election integrity team is someone, they can join on Zoom and they can be mentored by what we've already been doing all year.
00:27:46.000And this can be replicated throughout the nation if we as grassroots work on it.
00:27:51.000And Dan, you're not like a paid political operative.
00:27:53.000You're just doing this because you love it, right?
00:27:59.000I've been giving about, well, this week I am on track to give 80 hours this week, but usually it's been 40 to 60 hours a week for the last 28 months at my own expense and helping to pay for offices and training people.
00:28:12.000So we have a website, AZGrassrootshub.com.
00:28:15.000You can take a look at that to see what kind of trainings we're doing out of that on a regular basis.
00:28:19.000We're doing weekly trainings, political empowerment trainings.
00:28:23.000Basically, I would love every state to take a look at what I built on an Excel workbook that gives an entire landscape of the political landscape for the state.
00:28:40.000And then we've got like the campaign sidekick.
00:28:43.000The RNC is so, I think, impressed with the turnouts that we've had, both in PCs and training that the county and the National Party are working hand in hand.
00:28:54.000They're using my office this Saturday to bring people out and door knock to help recruit more precinct committee men in.
00:29:04.000There's a lot of people out there that will just read for any company if the check clears.
00:29:08.000I simply won't compromise our values here on this show, which is why I made the switch to UnderTech.
00:29:13.000They're the only men's basic brand that is unapologetically Christian, pro-America, pro-Second Amendment, and battle-tested by special forces.
00:29:21.000They put quality, comfort, and functionality first, integrating a quick release fly, a secret pocket, and an extra wide waistbrand into their design.
00:29:28.000UnderTech uses top quality fabric that is super soft, antibacterial, anti-pilling, and moisture wicking.
00:29:34.000UnderTach is durable, fade-resistant, and shrink-resistant.
00:30:56.000So the Arizona legislature meets till when?
00:31:00.000So technically, they're supposed to be in for at least 100 days.
00:31:05.000In order for these election integrity laws to take effect, we need to end the session in around April.
00:31:10.000The budget has to be done by June 30th, but the laws won't go into effect till 90 days after that.
00:31:15.000So the goal is to have a very tightly run session and end it by April, May so we can get these laws in place before the primary.
00:31:23.000And so, how do you guys balance the frustration with the Republican Party at times and then trying to work through the Republican Party?
00:31:30.000I actually enjoy that balance because if someone is not going to come to the table and serve the grassroots, then I will make sure they get replaced.
00:33:04.000We haven't had elections, so she's still there.
00:33:05.000But we did have grassroots had success in Legislative District 15, and we're working on 28, which is now the new four.
00:33:12.000I'm running as LD4 chair to try and complete the transformation.
00:33:18.000I'm sorry, what was the question that I was supposed to be answering?
00:33:21.000Well, it's just kind of the general theme or sentiment just about like national not getting involved.
00:33:26.000I just made a comment on how RNC and GOP is not doing this or are doing this.
00:33:32.000Okay, so the gamesmanship of the establishment is they use proxy votes or paper precinct committee men in order to manipulate and have control of the party.
00:33:41.000When you put live people there, that replaces the paper precinct committee men.
00:33:45.000They try to run meetings long so you can't address bylaws to put restrictions on them.
