00:02:16.000It's the Uniparty, the mainstream media, Mark Zuckerberg, and Biden's DOJ.
00:02:23.000If that's not a red flag to all conservatives, I don't know what is.
00:02:27.000When you look at the bill, it was literally written by Biden's DOJ.
00:02:31.000The same one trying to throw Donald Trump in prison.
00:02:35.000They wrote the bill, handed it to House Republicans, and then in the biggest self-own we've ever witnessed, decided to pass it.
00:02:43.000And like you said, give the government and Joe Biden new censorship power.
00:02:48.000So after all we've learned the last four years about the government colluding with social media companies to censor speech, to censor truthful information about COVID, to suppress legitimate news stories, to ban the sitting president of the United States, after all we've learned, House Republicans decided to give the government new censorship power.
00:03:10.000So Johnny, talk about TikTok's influence.
00:03:13.000You have a huge TikTok following, and I believe that TikTok, if we're able to give a fair hearing, which they've been terribly censoring of us in the past, that's changing.
00:03:23.000They're actually giving us more and more of an opportunity to speak, which we appreciate.
00:03:48.000I also love that TikTok doesn't take into account how big your following is.
00:03:52.000So if you have no following, but you come up with something creative or informative, it can take off and go viral.
00:03:58.000So we started out a year ago with no following and now have several million followers and right-wing content does extremely well there, which is good because what TikTok does is just reflect American public opinion, especially with the younger generation.
00:04:13.000So I'm taking that as a very, very good sign.
00:04:19.000Do you see that there's a kind of this online culture war is unfolding on TikTok?
00:04:26.000And so how does if Joe Biden ends up banning TikTok, will that be a political liability for him?
00:04:33.000I think it would make him very unpopular, but to say, oh, we should let him do it for that reason, I don't think is good because what we're doing is letting the DC uniparty come up with basically a fake national security concern to just usher in these new powers.
00:04:48.000I think if we give them this, what happens next?
00:04:52.000It's like, well, if a media company is acting at the direction of a foreign adversary, well, how long before they say Charlie Kirk is acting at the direction of Russia for being against the war in Ukraine?
00:06:57.000When Jim Jordan's report came out about Biden's government working with every social media company to censor truthful information about COVID, the only thing that wasn't mentioned was TikTok.
00:07:09.000That's the only company that didn't collude with Biden's government.
00:07:12.000So I think the fact that it's the free flow of information, our ideas went out.
00:07:16.000And I hope the government just leaves it alone and lets conservative ideas win.
00:07:21.000So can you talk more about the big tech companies that are pushing for this?
00:07:27.000That this kind of came out of allegedly out of nowhere, but there was a major lobbying spree.
00:07:33.000Yeah, so in 2019, when the heat was coming down on Mark Zuckerberg, he gave a speech and he kind of said, you know, everyone's concerned about Facebook.
00:07:42.000Your real concern should be TikTok and China.
00:07:48.000And then millions of dollars have been spent lobbying ever since to knock off big tech's biggest competitor.
00:07:55.000If Republicans wanted to be tough on big tech, they would take on the biggest issue for conservatives, which is the censoring of conservatives and deplatforming of them.
00:08:08.000So instead, they're doing Mark Zuckerberg's bidding, the mainstream media's bidding, the deep state's bidding, trying to knock off this platform where people have a voice.
00:08:19.000And sometimes, a lot of times, the opinions expressed on there are not shared by the establishment or the mainstream media, especially when you look at all the anti-war sentiment on TikTok.
00:08:31.000I think that might be a reason why they want to ban it too.
00:08:46.000Yeah, TikTok has decimated their profits.
00:08:49.000They've taken all of their young user base.
00:08:52.000Mike Gallagher voted against impeaching the DHS secretary.
00:08:56.000He voted for every Ukraine spending bill.
00:09:01.000He voted to restrict Trump's tariff powers, which would have been tough on China.
00:09:05.000But all these Republicans were nowhere to be found when Trump wanted to take hard action against China.
00:09:11.000But now they're tough on China by using TikTok as a scapegoat.
00:09:16.000And conveniently, Mike Gallagher resigned from Congress, but did it in a way where Republicans, his own party, are unable to fill his seat.
00:09:23.000So I think he was acting in his own self-interest.
00:09:26.000I think he's a highly paranoid individual.
00:09:29.000When they wanted to send a delegation of congressmen to China, Mike Gallagher said, no, I will get kidnapped if I go.
00:09:36.000I mean, this is just a paranoid person.
00:09:39.000I don't exactly know why he's doing it, but it seems to have a, you know, Facebook's definitely had a lot of influence.
00:09:45.000I think just the fact that the Uniparty and Deep State want it, it's just something they think it's easy.
00:09:50.000Republicans think it's easy to go along with, and then they can tell their constituents they're being tough on big tech and tough on China when really they're tough on neither.

00:11:07.000So, Johnny, can you explain to the audience why it's better to fight on platforms like TikTok rather than let the left saturate our kids' minds with total trash?
00:11:14.000Yeah, I think it's important to find out where everyone is and speak to them there.
00:11:20.000TikTok is the number one platform for a reason.
00:12:50.000I think, like I said earlier, our ideas are based in truth.
00:12:54.000That's why people find humor in them too.
00:12:56.000Our jokes have a little bit of truth to them always.
00:12:59.000And I think speaking to the younger generation rather than ignoring them or ridiculing them, just speaking to them in a creative, light, fun way actually will change hearts and minds.
00:13:13.000The latest House bill to send more American dollars overseas is somehow even more bloated than the one the Senate passed in February.
00:13:20.000There's still $60 billion for Ukraine, $8 billion for Taiwan.
00:13:25.000Meanwhile, aid to Israel has now gone up from $14 billion to $26 billion.
00:13:31.000For comparison, the GDP of Vermont is $43 billion.
00:13:35.000As you know, I stand with Israel and in their war against Hamas, but we should not dedicate half the GDP of an entire U.S. state towards funding them when our border is in a meltdown and foreign threats are pouring into America, pouring into America with impunity.
00:13:50.000At the very least, every cent needs to be offset with cuts and border security must be passed first.
00:13:55.000We need a Congress that stops putting America last.
00:14:01.000It's a psychological phenomenon as to why our leaders de-emphasize the homeland and prioritize the foreign.
00:14:10.000Why is it that foreign conflicts are given such greater preference than what's happening on the United States southern border?
00:14:18.000I think part of it is that there is contempt for the homeland.
00:14:23.000That the kingdom of Washington, D.C. cares far more about how they are viewed in Brussels and Paris and Rome than McAllen, Texas or Tucson, Arizona.
00:14:34.000Those are the dirty people of the colonies of the country.
00:14:38.000The oligarchy cares deeply about the foreign conflicts.
00:14:44.000So between 60 billion at Ukraine, 8 billion from Taiwan, 26 billion for Israel.
00:14:53.000That's nearly another $100 billion that is about to be spent by the House on foreign conflicts.
00:16:02.000Do something about it, or else you'll get vacated.
00:16:08.000Okay, Kirk fans, I need you to stop and pay attention to this.
00:16:12.000If 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.
00:16:22.000While back, I found a liquid supplement called Strong Cell, and it changed my health in a very profound way.
00:16:48.000After 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.
00:16:54.000I'm thankful that Charlie Kirk recommended this to his listeners.
00:16:57.000Rebecca says, I absolutely love Strong Cell.
00:17:01.000At 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.
00:17:06.000I've tried to find depression meds for 10 years, and since you Strong Cell, I'm feeling better than I ever have on depression medication.
00:17:13.000Customer for life, thank you, Charlie Kirk, for recommending this product.
00:18:14.000So this was oral arguments in a case called Joseph Fisher versus the United States.
00:18:20.000Joseph Fisher, one of 350 January 6th defendants charged with 1512 C2, commonly known as obstruction of an official proceeding.
00:18:31.000This is the key felony used in DOJ's ongoing prosecution of January 6th defendants.
00:18:40.000And finally, the DOJ and government's use of this post-Enron Arthur Anderson records-destroying statute that the DOJ has weaponized to turn Trump supporters into lifelong felons finally got its day in court before the Supreme Court yesterday.
00:19:00.000And so the debate really centered on this vague language in the statute, and admittedly it is, but this is how the DOJ precisely has weaponized that vague language to say that because these individuals interrupted an official proceeding, meaning a function of Congress, that now they can be charged with 1512C2.
00:19:25.000They could be bankrupted, bankrupted, thrown into prison for years, which has happened to many of them.
00:19:32.000And the Supreme Court, luckily, Charlie sounded very skeptical yesterday as to how the DOJ has intentionally misinterpreted this language to criminalize political protest.
00:20:57.000I think it was a perfect point by Neil Gorsuch and one that is going to, I think, significantly neuter this aggressive lawfare from the Biden regime.
00:21:11.000And I was listening, of course, I was live tweeting it.
00:21:13.000And when you heard Neil Gorsuch saying that, of course, you're laughing out loud because you know, and everyone in the room knew.
00:21:20.000And of course, Elizabeth Pellegar, the Solicitor General, knew exactly what he was referring to as well.
00:21:25.000But look, what she continued to argue, and there were other hypotheticals raised as well, is that for some reason, this four-hour disturbance that delayed the electoral college certification proceedings for only six hours, they act like it was delayed for weeks and never happened.
00:21:43.000That somehow that rises to the statutory elements of 1512 C2, but no other protest does.
00:21:53.000And that is where the government really stepped on its own toes.
00:21:57.000Because if you're going to apply this and you're going to say that you need intent, you did it corruptly, you obstructed, impeded, influenced an official proceeding, then it should apply broadly.
00:22:10.000And quite frankly, Charlie, I emailed the DC U.S. attorney last week and asked if any other demonstrators, the pro-Hamas, anti-Israel demonstrators, have been charged with any federal crimes over the past six months for unlawfully entering the Capitol building, disrupting Senate and House hearings.
00:22:34.000And so the Department of Justice or the Solicitor General, what argument are they making here that they were able to find the intent statute with every single one of these January 6th defendants?
00:22:48.000So there are 350 who have been charged.
00:22:50.000And they did say that, yes, we found the intent, that they did it corruptly, that they knew they were going to be interfering in this official proceeding, and that they did so corruptly.
00:23:02.000And so that is really what her argument is.
00:23:05.000And this is what the DOJ has been arguing now for three years in all of these cases and sending these people to prison on an obstruction statute.
00:23:13.000So Julie, how do you think the court is going to rule them?
00:23:31.000There was only one DC judge who dropped this count against Joseph, against any J6 defendant.
00:23:37.000And so I think that hopefully, I think it'll be tight, but I think that the J6 defendants will prevail.
00:23:44.000So now shifting gears to the lawfare against Trump with the Alvin Bragg selection, I want to get your thoughts on the jury selection.
00:23:50.000I believe we have some tape here that MSNBC was reporting that a member of the jury was allowed to stay on the jury despite posting on social media celebratory videos of Trump's or Biden's win or Trump's loss.
00:24:08.000Well, just your reaction to the jury selection to just how the whole process in New York is unfolding.
00:24:13.000I mean, as far as I can tell, and I'm sorry, I've been covering the SCOTIS hearings, but look, this has been happening in Washington, D.C., too.
00:24:21.000You have these biased juries who, jurors in a city that voted in this instance, Manhattan, 85% for Joe Biden, 93% for Joe Biden in Washington, D.C.
00:24:31.000It's almost impossible to find a fair-minded jurors, but they have to cobble something together, even though you know that their news digestion is far left and you know that they live in a very left-wing portion, you know, part of New York City or in Washington, D.C.
00:24:51.000So this just continues, Charlie, to delegitimize in the eyes of the American people that this is anything but a fair trial.
00:24:59.000And of course, it's not, but it will keep Donald Trump in this courtroom now for six to eight weeks.
00:25:06.000And it's just astonishing to see this really unravel, but to see Alvin Bragg and the media so bent on making this somehow appear legitimate, which of course it's not.
00:25:20.000Any updates since we've last chatted, Julie, on timeline with these federal cases, or we've kind of just hit a little bit of a lull.
00:25:27.000So it looks like, I mean, really, the only thing that's happening right now is the classified documents case in southern Florida.
00:25:34.000Now, Donald Trump's team, because he is going to be in this courthouse for the next, in New York, for the next six to eight weeks, is asking for, you know, a delay or suspension in some of the deadlines that are now pending in southern Florida.
00:25:47.000Now, Judge Cannon has already said that she will be very tough in making sure that Donald Trump is there to help prepare his own defense, to look at these classified documents in secure settings, and of course, to attend any hearings.
00:26:02.000So she might very well delay some, if not all, of the pending deadlines until this trial in New York is over.
00:26:09.000Now, next week, Charlie, will be the oral arguments for presidential immunity, and that is next Thursday, the 25th.
00:26:18.000That then, whenever that decision is handed down, will then impact the January 6th trial in Washington, which has been on hold as the appellate court and now Supreme Court figure out this question if Donald Trump is immune or any president from criminal prosecution.
00:26:37.000Julie, I'm trying to get this tape here of the prospective juror here and all that's involved.
00:26:44.000I'm just kind of curious out the top of my head, is the FBI continuing with new indictments for January 6th defendants?
00:26:52.000And if so, how many now have been prop have been convicted?
00:26:57.000So we now, Charlie, have exceeded the 1,400 defendant mark, 1,400 defendants.
00:27:03.000They announce new arrests almost every day.
00:27:06.000In fact, last week, just days before the Supreme Court was going to hear oral arguments on 1512 C2, Matthew Graves, the DC U.S. attorney, indicted a man from California on 1512 C2.
00:27:20.000So they are not being, you know, seeing any or demonstrating any self-restraint here at all.
00:27:28.000Matthew Graves has said that he wants to reach a total caseload of over 2,000 defendants or this is all over, certainly before the statute of limitations runs out.
00:27:38.000And this is exactly what they're taking up.
00:27:40.000They will probably arrest and charge more people in 2024, Charlie, than they did in 2022, as this was really ratcheting up.
00:27:51.000Well, they want to juice the numbers for alleged domestic violent extremists, but also, Charlie, they want to continue to warn the Americans, especially Trump supporters.
00:28:02.000If you engage in any sort of protest, especially in the nation's capital of this nature related to the 2024 election, this is what's coming for you.
00:28:44.000There was also a hearing today on the Hill in Representative Lautermilk's committee with whistleblowers from the National Guard who explained why the deployment of National Guardsmen was so delayed and that it was not Donald Trump's fault, but actually members of military brass.
00:29:06.000And so I'll be covering that soon as well.
00:29:14.000For years, I've been talking about how our nation's public schools have been captured by progressive ideologues, especially true if you're a Christian family.
00:29:20.000For those of you worried about the best educational path for your kids and grandkids, I want to tell you about how Turning Point Academy is working with the Herzog Foundation, how you at home can also benefit from it.
00:29:29.000They have an online publication called The Lion, and also making the leap.
00:29:32.000The Herzog Foundation offers a wide range of advice and information for Christian parents to make the best education decisions for your kids.
00:32:45.000They had things on their social media posts that Donald Trump and his lawyers found troubling.
00:32:51.000And one of the videos happened to be the juror, juror number one, had taken a video at a distance of what looked like a celebration in the streets of New York for when Trump lost in 2020.
00:33:04.000And it showed that she was biased and there was some language that suggested that she might have a bias.
00:33:10.000But the judge there was some back and forth between the lawyers and then the judge actually admonished the former president because he was huffing and puffing and gesturing towards the juror.
00:33:22.000He said it was, the judge said it was completely inappropriate.
