00:00:32.000 Here we go.
00:00:33.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:35.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:37.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:40.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:44.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:45.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:46.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:48.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:00:53.000 Turning point USA.
00:00:54.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:03.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:32.000 Joining us now is a great man doing a wonderful job for the country, Representative Eric Burleson from the House Oversight Community.
00:01:39.000 Congressman, thank you for taking the time.
00:01:40.000 You just got out of the room deposing Hunter Biden.
00:01:44.000 Tell us all about it.
00:01:46.000 Yeah, we're kind of in a breaking point right now.
00:01:50.000 So it's going to continue.
00:01:53.000 It has been a very interesting day.
00:01:56.000 And so unfortunately, until in order to help make sure that we can expedite releasing the transcript of this deposition, we've been asked to not get into the specifics.
00:02:09.000 And I hope you'll understand that.
00:02:11.000 Yeah, of course.
00:02:13.000 Can you just give us, at least our audience, some background?
00:02:15.000 What was he coming in to be deposed for?
00:02:17.000 The status, all the public stuff that you can share.
00:02:20.000 Can you just walk us through what triggered his coming in?
00:02:26.000 Which one of his many adventures that this particular deposition was in regards to, please?
00:02:34.000 Yeah, I think we're not focused on his drug habits.
00:02:40.000 We're not focused.
00:02:41.000 I'm not focused on those.
00:02:43.000 The goal of this deposition was to try to find information about, to try to shed light on the business transactions of Hunter Biden and some of these companies like Burisma or these Chinese energy executives, some of the conversations that potentially were having between, you know, during phone calls between Joe Biden and Hunter while he was meeting with some of these executives.
00:03:10.000 So those are all the things that we, a lot of things, amongst others, that we were trying to get to the bottom of.
00:03:16.000 And really following up on the testimony of Devin Archer and Tony Bobolinski and others that were suggesting that the brand was the Biden family name and that and obviously that comes with it influence.
00:03:33.000 I want to play a cut here of one of your colleagues, Alexandria Casio-Cortez.
00:03:37.000 Let's play Cut 84.
00:03:38.000 I'd love to have you respond, please.
00:03:40.000 What we just witnessed over the last hour was, I think, a deep sea fishing expedition because the Republican case has completely fallen apart over the last several weeks.
00:03:51.000 After it's been exposed, that the critical, you know, one of their most key pieces of information was based on a source that was in communication with Russian intelligence.
00:04:04.000 They are now trying to scramble to find anything to substantiate their fairy tale, is what we should call this.
00:04:12.000 She calls it a fairy tale.
00:04:14.000 Your response, Congressman.
00:04:15.000 Yeah, you know, it's interesting that Democrats and the liberal media are trying to discredit this witness.
00:04:23.000 You know, that now that this is occurring, but at the end of the day, our investigation is not based on the testimony of one witness.
00:04:33.000 It's based on bank records.
00:04:35.000 It's based on financial statements and documents, actual facts.
00:04:40.000 And so, and certainly we do have other testimonies as well.
00:04:43.000 And so there's a lot of things that have given, I would say, a 3D perspective on some of these transactions that have occurred, whether it's you're getting testimony from the IRS whistleblowers who are looking through their taxes.
00:04:58.000 We're getting information from the Treasury Department with the suspicious activity reports.
00:05:03.000 We were getting information from the business associates of Hunter Biden during their testimony, whenever they came in under being interviewed.
00:05:14.000 We have the Hunter Biden laptop that we can reference and line up with some of these business dealings.
00:05:20.000 So there's a lot of information, a lot of different perspectives, and the Democrats are trying to make a straw man out of this one FBI informant so they can, you know, as you know, strawman argument is you build them up so that you can tear them down easily.
00:05:36.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:05:37.000 Can you also comment on yesterday there was some breaking news, Chairman Comer and Jordan are subpoenaing the DOJ for special counsel's HERS Joe Biden's interview records, including transcripts, notes, videos, and audio files.
00:05:50.000 Can you tell us about that?
00:05:52.000 I'm not, I don't know, but the goal, I think the Chairman Comer and Chairman Jordan are doing a great job in this investigation.
00:06:02.000 It's, you know, look, it was mentioned several times in some of the reports that the Biden specifically created a scenario that would take a long time for people to discover.
00:06:16.000 But we have been doing a, you know, Chairman Jordan and Chairman Comer have done a really great job of trying to expedite that process and try to get to the bottom of what happened.
00:06:27.000 So if we believe that the Senate will not necessarily convict Biden, what is your argument for moving forward with the impeachment inquiry?
00:06:36.000 Well, look, we can't let a moral failure like this, something that has, you know, really an act of bribery, potentially, an act of selling out the interests of the American people.
00:06:51.000 I can't let that go by without doing something about it.
00:06:55.000 I think we have a moral imperative to expose what the Biden administration is doing, even if that means that the Senate Democrats are not going to do anything about it.
00:07:07.000 We have a moral imperative to do something.
00:07:10.000 Yeah, and what Joe Biden has been allowed to get away with for quite some time is remarkable.
00:07:18.000 There's another breaking story here from FoxNews.com.
00:07:21.000 House investigators heading to prison to interview ex-Hunter Biden biz associate amid impeachment inquiry.
00:07:27.000 House investigators interview Jason Galanis in Alabama in Alabama prison Friday.
00:07:34.000 Who is this man again?
00:07:35.000 It's hard to kind of put all this together.
00:07:37.000 I don't know exactly where he fits into the network.
00:07:41.000 I'll have to do some research on that, but there have been a number of business associates.
00:07:48.000 The web is very extensive.
00:07:50.000 We're talking about dozens and dozens of limited liability companies and other businesses that they've been involved with.
00:07:58.000 So it's a very extensive network.
00:08:01.000 So Congressman, just final thoughts here.
00:08:04.000 It seems as if in the next couple of days there will be a vote to either do a CR or government shutdown.
00:08:08.000 Anything you can share in regards to those ongoing negotiations and kind of the tone and the vibe of the conference?
00:08:14.000 Yeah, I think that I think to me, the best path forward at this point in time, I wouldn't have said this months ago, but I think at this point in time, the best path, most conservative path forward would be to pass a one-year continuing resolution.
00:08:28.000 I know that sounds crazy.
00:08:31.000 I've never wanted to vote for a CR, but because we previously put in a mechanism that would cause a 1% trigger cut to the federal budget, that would be a remarkable cut for the first time in a long time, maybe even in the history of the United States, that we've actually had real cuts year over year to the federal expenditures.
00:08:51.000 So I would like to see that happen.
00:08:55.000 Barring that, if that doesn't happen, I'm not going to be interested in trying to pass in any budget that is going to fund this open border scenario.
00:09:07.000 Would that be an actual cut in spending or a cut in the rate of growth of spending?
00:09:11.000 Because sometimes in D.C., those get conflated.
00:09:14.000 No, it would be an actual cut in spending if we were to pass a one-year CR because it triggers what we call the Massey rule that was crafted by Thomas Massey.
00:09:23.000 He was kind of the innovator of this idea.
00:09:27.000 And it was placed into the budget, the FRA bill that was passed whenever we were raising the debt ceiling last year.
00:09:35.000 So as part of that agreement to raise the debt ceiling, there was an agreement to put into law that if we're under a continuing resolution by April 1, then there's automatically a 1% cut.
00:09:48.000 Interesting.
00:09:48.000 Congressman, thank you so much for the time and keep fighting.
00:09:51.000 Thank you.
00:09:51.000 Thank you.
00:09:55.000 Folks, so many people I know are disheartened that our country seems to have forgotten the importance of citizenship and they wonder how a strong sense of citizenship might be revived.
00:10:04.000 That's why my friends at Hillsdale College have produced a free online course on this topic, American Citizenship and Its Decline.
00:10:11.000 Taught by historian Victor Davis Hansen, the course traces the history of citizenship and explains how it is undermined in America today by open borders, by identity politics, by the administrative state, and by globalization.
00:10:24.000 Americans are taking the course.
00:10:27.000 Americans taking the course will gain a deeper insight about the connection between citizenship and freedom, an insight they can share with their family members, friends, and neighbors.
00:10:36.000 Hillsdale's free online courses are an important component of Hillsdale's mission to reach and teach increasing millions of people on behalf of liberty and the American way of life.

00:11:02.000 The border issue continues to be the number one issue in the country.
00:11:06.000 It's impacting every community across the country.
00:11:09.000 In the next segment, we have students from the University of Georgia, Turning Point USA students, that will talk about the terrible death of Lake and Riley, which is unfortunate.
00:11:18.000 Almost every single day, an illegal is murdering a Native born American.
00:11:22.000 They weren't invited.
00:11:23.000 They weren't brought in.
00:11:25.000 They come into this country and they kill Americans.
00:11:28.000 And that's just part of the story, not to mention the rapes and the arsons.
00:11:32.000 And crime is going up all across the country.
00:11:35.000 It's really something.
00:11:36.000 Usually I'm not a fan of heckling speakers.
00:11:43.000 Usually I am not a fan of interrupting people.
00:11:45.000 It's usually a left-wing tactic.
00:11:47.000 In this case, I thought it was very appropriate.
00:11:51.000 This is the mayor of Athens, Georgia, Mayor Kelly Goertz, who claims the term sanctuary city means different things to different people.
00:12:01.000 Athens, Georgia has been bragging about all are welcome here.
00:12:06.000 Diversity is our strength.
00:12:09.000 Worshiping a slogan saying that diversity is our strength got Lake and Riley murdered.
00:12:15.000 And it's not just that.
00:12:16.000 Remember Molly Tippetts in Iowa?
00:12:18.000 I mean, we could go through the list.
00:12:19.000 Almost every day there's a DUI.
00:12:20.000 There's another crime waiting to happen.
00:12:24.000 Unfortunately, probably in the next week, another American will be murdered by a trespasser in this country.
00:12:29.000 Remember, the murder rate of immigrants ought to be almost near zero because so many people want to come to the United States that we should be able to only select the best.
00:12:37.000 The murder rate at Harvard, for example, is zero because they're highly selective and they don't let in random murderers.
00:12:44.000 Our immigration system should be the same, but instead, we let in millions of random drug smugglers, drunkards, violent psychos, and useless welfare sponges.
00:12:55.000 This particular individual who killed Lake and Riley was arrested for a crime with a child in New York, released, comes in and murders Lake and Riley.
00:13:05.000 In Arizona, the would-be serial killer released out of New York, comes to Arizona, kills somebody with a knife at a McDonald's, was going to do it again at Scottsdale Fashion Square, got arrested.
00:13:17.000 No community is safe.
00:13:19.000 This is happening in the suburbs of Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia.
00:13:24.000 It is a mass invasion.
00:13:26.000 Venezuelans, Colombians, Chileans, Chinese.
00:13:33.000 Here is the mayor of Athens, Georgia, saying that the term sanctuary city means different things to different people.
00:13:42.000 Again, it is an exception to my rule.
00:13:44.000 Usually I don't like interrupting speakers.
00:13:47.000 This man has blood on his hands.
00:13:51.000 He is an academic college-educated liberal who doesn't care that his abstractions, his pathological fantasies resulted in the murder of an innocent nursing student at the University of Georgia.
00:14:06.000 And more will happen.
00:14:07.000 More girls will be raped.
00:14:09.000 More young ladies will be murdered because of American liberals.
00:14:13.000 Play Cut 67.
00:14:14.000 You can look in contractual language and you can find out exactly what it means to be an SEC institution.
00:14:19.000 Sanctuary City doesn't track with either of those.
00:14:23.000 And so that term means different things to different people depending on the context of the discussion.
00:14:30.000 Many of the elements.
00:14:32.000 Many of the elements.
00:14:33.000 Liar.
00:14:36.000 We're here to listen.
00:14:37.000 You're a liar.
00:14:38.000 You're a liar.
00:14:39.000 We're here to listen.
00:14:40.000 There'll be time for questions.
00:14:42.000 You are guilty and got blood on your head for this murder, sir.
00:14:47.000 Trump should visit Athens, Georgia immediately.
00:14:50.000 Same way he went to East Palestine, Ohio.
00:14:52.000 This thing is as hot as a pistol.
00:14:54.000 You never know what stories are going to start to spike.
00:14:57.000 You never know.
00:14:58.000 And this is such a sad.
00:14:59.000 I think one of the reasons why this story is so sad is that this young lady did nothing wrong.
00:15:04.000 She was hunted down by this illegal, by this monster.
00:15:08.000 This person was previously arrested.
00:15:10.000 She was almost the face of American innocence.
00:15:12.000 Nursing student did nothing wrong, completely innocent.
00:15:16.000 Trump should visit Athens.
00:15:20.000 By the way, Joe Biden tweeted endlessly ad nauseum about George Floyd, not a single mention about Lake and Riley.
00:15:26.000 Of course not.
00:15:28.000 Donald Trump should visit Athens, Georgia, and push for Lakin's law, forcing any sanctuary city to turn over criminals to ICE for immediate deportation.
00:15:36.000 We should tweet that out.
00:15:37.000 Donald Trump is really good at this.
00:15:39.000 By the way, if Lake and Riley, if she would have been some sort of other criteria box with the left likes, maybe they would be talking about it.
00:15:48.000 By the way, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, you know, the Associated Press did not mention once in the story covering her that any illegal murdered her?
00:15:57.000 Not once.
00:15:58.000 Because diversity is our strength.
00:16:02.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:16:04.000 There's nothing worse than hearing about people living in pain.
00:16:07.000 That's why I want to tell you about Keith from Washington and his Relief Factor story.
00:16:11.000 After years of activity from college football to running a martial arts studio at age 51, Keith's body felt like it was wearing out.
00:16:18.000 So he gave Relief Factor a try.
00:16:19.000 Keith says he now has, quote, little to no pain in my knees and highly reduced neck pain.
00:16:24.000 Feeling so much better, he pursued a second-degree black belt.
00:16:27.000 If you're living with aches and pains, see how Relief Factor, a daily drug-free supplement, could help you feel better and live better every day.
00:16:33.000 I know so many people that have taken Relief Factor and they speak highly of it.
00:16:37.000 Developed by doctors, Relief Factor truly has helped so many people take back their lives.
00:16:42.000 So get started.
00:16:43.000 Try the Relief Factor three-week quick start.
00:16:46.000 It's only $19.95 and it comes with a feel better or your money-back guarantee.
00:16:52.000 So visit relieffactor.com or call 1-800 for relief.
00:16:57.000 That is the number 1-800-4.
00:17:00.000 Get out of pain today, relieffactor.com.
00:17:04.000 Joining us now is two of our amazing Turning Point USA chapter leaders and president at the University of Georgia, Emily Grace Kinsey and Connor Parnell.
00:17:17.000 Emily and Connor, welcome to the program.
00:17:19.000 Hi, thank you for having us.
00:17:21.000 Hey, how are you doing?
00:17:22.000 Very good.
00:17:22.000 So, Emily, let me start with you.
00:17:24.000 Emily, what is the reaction currently on the ground that you're hearing in regard to the horrific murder of Lake and Riley?
00:17:32.000 So, there's a lot of shock.
00:17:34.000 Everyone is really nervous.
00:17:36.000 Everyone is really upset because nothing like this has happened at the University of Georgia in nearly 30 years.
00:17:43.000 So, there's a lot of confusion around the atmosphere and the environment of the campus and kind of how we move forward from it.
00:17:50.000 Yeah, and so I can imagine that it's rather chilling on campus.
00:17:55.000 Connor, what has your experience been?
00:17:59.000 And is the chatter becoming somewhat political as far as saying that this very well could have been prevented?
00:18:07.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:18:09.000 Campus has definitely been odd since it happened.
00:18:12.000 We actually had a meeting that night and the entire atmosphere on campus had changed.
00:18:16.000 And as we get days out, there are definitely more political conversations sparking about the reasons that this tragedy even took place and really just the circumstances as a whole.
00:18:29.000 I want to play a piece of tape here.
00:18:31.000 This is Cut 89, CNN, reprehensibly covering the story, PlayCut 89.
00:18:37.000 The suspect in the death of a nursing student in Athens here in Georgia has been denied bond according to jail records.
00:18:44.000 Authorities say Jose Antonio Barra didn't know the victim and didn't go to the same school.
00:18:49.000 The 26-year-old Ivara was taken into custody on Friday, a day after nursing student Lake and Riley was found dead.
00:18:57.000 Riley was a junior at the Augusta College of Nursing, who had gone jogging on Thursday before she disappeared.
00:19:03.000 Police say it appears to have been a crime of opportunity.
00:19:07.000 And then examination revealed she died from blunt force trauma.
00:19:11.000 Not a single mention about the immigration status.
00:19:16.000 So, Emily, do you and your friends as young ladies feel safe being in a sanctuary city in Athens, Georgia?
00:19:24.000 Not at all.
00:19:25.000 And this is something that's really come out more and more after this terrible event is that Athens really isn't a terribly safe city to live in.
00:19:35.000 And there's this illusion of safety once you enter the campus.
00:19:39.000 So people think, oh, it's okay for me to jog on campus or walk around campus late at night because even though Athens is dangerous, well, this is on campus.
00:19:49.000 So it's completely different.
00:19:51.000 And the fact of the matter is, it's really not.
00:19:53.000 And I haven't felt safe in Athens for a while.
00:19:57.000 And now a lot more people are coming to that conclusion.
00:20:01.000 No one is on campus late at night anymore.
00:20:04.000 And it's really, really changed the entire atmosphere of the entire community.
00:20:09.000 I can imagine.
00:20:10.000 I mean, people think of college as being this, you know, fun environment.
00:20:14.000 And now it's a place where you can get murdered.
00:20:16.000 And by the way, this is true at many campuses.
00:20:18.000 So, Connor, I want to ask you, you know, being involved in our turning point chapter, do you think this is starting to pierce some of the ideological leftism?
00:20:28.000 Do you think that some people might be acknowledging that allowing anybody into the country is probably not a great idea?
00:20:36.000 Again, not trying to overly politicize it, but it's an obvious connection that this murder could have been prevented if we had a border.
00:20:43.000 Are you seeing that start to at least open a little bit conversationally?
00:20:50.000 Yeah, I would say somewhat it's opening up conversationally.
00:20:54.000 However, per the leftist disposition, there's a certain cognitive dissonance that happens.
00:21:01.000 And, you know, they I've heard a lot of times since this has happened that, you know, his immigration status doesn't matter and that, you know, this was simply a crime of opportunity.
00:21:14.000 It could have been anybody.
00:21:15.000 Like there's not a lot of connecting dots here.
00:21:18.000 Yeah, no, Connor, you're kind of hitting what is awfully depressing where they're trying to apologize for it.
00:21:26.000 Oh, you know, his immigration status, you know, doesn't matter.
00:21:29.000 It's, you know, by the way, a crime of opportunity.
00:21:32.000 What opportunity exactly are they trying to get at here?
00:21:36.000 I want to play the mayor's clip here.
00:21:38.000 This is who is supposed to keep you both safe.
00:21:41.000 And he is saying, basically, apologizing for the immigration status.
00:21:46.000 And I want our audience to understand this is one of the biggest news stories in the country.
00:21:50.000 It's not going to stop happening.
00:21:52.000 Almost every day, American citizens are murdered by illegals almost every single day.
00:21:57.000 We see DUIs, we see killings, we see all sorts of things.
00:22:02.000 67, please.
00:22:03.000 You can look in contractual language and you can find out exactly what it means to be an SEC institution.
00:22:08.000 Sanctuary City doesn't track with either of those.
00:22:12.000 And so that term means different things to different people depending on the context of the discussion.
00:22:19.000 Many of the elements.
00:22:21.000 Many of the elements.
00:22:23.000 Liar.
00:22:26.000 We're here to listen.
00:22:27.000 You're a liar.
00:22:28.000 We're here to listen.
00:22:29.000 There's going to be time for questions.
00:22:31.000 You are guilty and got blood on your head for this murder, sir.
00:22:36.000 At least he said, sir, at the end.
00:22:38.000 Emily, I mean, as a young lady on campus and as a resident of Athens, Georgia, I'm sure you sympathize with the hecklers there.
00:22:45.000 And I don't love heckling, but if there's ever a time to do it, it's during a situation like this.
00:22:50.000 A lot of people are upset.
00:22:52.000 Oh, absolutely.
00:22:53.000 And rightfully so, because this is just a gross misuse of what should be protection is that, you know, this entire purpose of having a mayor is ideally to make sure that the city at a local level functions smoothly to look out very closely for the safety of the city's residents.
00:23:18.000 And this is just completely throwing that out, saying, actually, we are going to prioritize anyone and everyone other than the legal residents of our city.
00:23:26.000 And it's really disheartening and it's also really concerning moving forward with all of the talk surrounding it now, just to see how this will play out.
00:23:34.000 And I want to be very clear, the criminal affidavit shows that he disfigured her skull.
00:23:40.000 This was not a crime of passion.
00:23:41.000 This was not a robbery.
00:23:43.000 This was cruel and evil.
00:23:45.000 We see this sort of behavior south of the, let's just say, the equator in gang activity.
00:23:52.000 I'm just saying that a lot of times in cartel type gang activity, this is how they murder.
00:23:57.000 The initial report claimed that the scene was visibly disturbing and it is brutal.
00:24:04.000 So, Connor, I'm curious, how many of your friends are talking about having firearms?
00:24:11.000 Are you allowed to have firearms on campus at the University of Georgia?
00:24:14.000 Is it legal to?
00:24:16.000 How does that work?
00:24:17.000 I know that the state of Georgia allows gun ownership.
00:24:21.000 However, how does that work on campus?
00:24:24.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:24:25.000 So, UGA is a carried campus, which I would say is probably the most important step that the University of Georgia can take to keep the campus community safe.
00:24:34.000 There's nobody more responsible for your own personal safety than you.
00:24:39.000 And so, yeah, on campus, we are allowed to carry.
00:24:42.000 You're not allowed to carry into classrooms with students that are dual enrolled.
00:24:46.000 So, those are classrooms that have high school students in them that are taking some college classes.
00:24:52.000 But other than that, you can carry pretty much anywhere on campus.
00:24:56.000 Sporting events obviously are excluded.
00:25:00.000 But yeah, we are absolutely allowed to carry on campus.
00:25:03.000 And I would say a lot of people are definitely talking about carrying more.
00:25:07.000 It was actually one of the first conversations that started happening politically surrounding the murder is, you know, start carrying on campus.
00:25:14.000 Start educating yourself in firearms and, you know, really make sure that you're keeping yourself safe.
00:25:21.000 I'm pleased to hear that.
00:25:22.000 That's really the only solution.
00:25:24.000 You have a government that doesn't care about you.
00:25:26.000 You have a government that hates you that is totally indifferent.
00:25:30.000 The only solution is you have to own guns and walk around with guns.
00:25:33.000 So, Emily, especially as a young lady on campus, I would encourage you to get proper firearm training, you know, buy a gun and all of your lady friends to do the same, because unfortunately, our society doesn't care about protecting you, your president or the mayor.
00:25:47.000 Final thoughts, Emily, given this tragic situation?
00:25:51.000 It has definitely changed the culture on campus.
00:25:55.000 And to kind of go off of the question that you would ask, Connor, this is actually one of the first meetings that we had as a turning point chapter after I became president was, what are your Second Amendment rights on campus?
00:26:05.000 Just because it is something that I also care very much about.
00:26:09.000 The only issue with it right now is that you cannot carry on campus if you are under 21 years old.
00:26:15.000 But I know that me and a lot of my friends are saying as soon as we're 21, we are absolutely getting a gun.
00:26:23.000 We absolutely have to carry on campus because there is absolutely no one else looking out for our safety.
00:26:30.000 And the university has recently allocated, I think, $7.3 million to increasing campus safety with relatively redundant things.
00:26:43.000 They put blue light systems up, which were at the university for over a decade and were only ever used twice and as jokes.
00:26:52.000 And they've put way more money into the UGA Safe app, which is a great resource, but not a whole ton of people knew about even before this incident.
00:27:01.000 And so it definitely is looking at, in my opinion, the wrong ways of how to fix this issue because it's not a university issue.
00:27:10.000 It's a community issue and a policy issue.
00:27:13.000 Emily, that was very articulate.
00:27:14.000 And by the way, blue light systems are a joke.
00:27:16.000 They largely don't work on many campuses.
00:27:18.000 I'm sure they've worked somewhere at some point that someone can isolate, but they're not used.
00:27:24.000 You know what does work is people with firearms that are there to protect.
00:27:29.000 I would just be honest.
00:27:30.000 If I was a parent sending my kid to University of Georgia, I would say either you have a bunch of armed guards on campus or I wouldn't say, I don't, I wouldn't feel safe.
00:27:37.000 I hope you guys, by the way, not being 21, what is that stupid thing?
00:27:41.000 Brian Kemp has got to figure that out.
00:27:43.000 If you're 18, you should be able to have a firearm on campus.
00:27:46.000 I think it's outrageous.
00:27:47.000 Thank you guys so much.
00:27:48.000 God bless the work you're doing for Turning Point USA.
00:27:50.000 Hope to see you soon.
00:27:51.000 Thank you.
00:27:56.000 For 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.
00:28:01.000 For those of you worried about the best educational path to 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.
00:28:11.000 They have an online publication called The Lion, and also making the leap.
00:28:14.000 The Herzog Foundation offers a wide range of advice and information for Christian parents to make the best education decisions for your kids.
00:28:19.000 Go to Herzogfoundation.com.
00:28:21.000 That is Herzogfoundation.com.
00:28:23.000 So check it out right now, Herzogfoundation.com.
00:28:25.000 Portions of the Charlie Kirk show are brought to you in part by the Stanley M. Herzog Foundation.
00:28:30.000 That is Herzogfoundation.com.
00:28:34.000 The narrative continues to try to paint our movement as the worst parts of the 20th century.
00:28:40.000 I mean, there should just be a moratorium for both sides.
00:28:43.000 You can't call the other side Mussolini or Hitler.
00:28:47.000 You just can't do it.
00:28:48.000 It's just so intellectually lazy and shallow.
00:28:50.000 Play Cut 66, please.
00:28:52.000 I do have some concerns about our democracy.
00:28:56.000 I have been talking about this now for a long time.
00:28:58.000 When I raised this issue back in 2018, that I did not believe that Donald Trump was planning to leave the White House, I was chastised for that.
00:29:08.000 People criticized me saying I didn't know what I was talking about.
00:29:12.000 Well, I think everybody now sees what I was talking about when I said I consider Trump to be a Mussolini and Putin a Hitler.
00:29:25.000 And I still hold to that.
00:29:27.000 Donald Trump is Mussolini and Putin is Hitler.
00:29:30.000 Mr. Clyburn is largely responsible, by the way, for getting Joe Biden, the traitor, into office.
00:29:36.000 Remember the South Carolina special?
00:29:39.000 Isn't it amazing that a journalist has still not published a book on how Joe Biden finished sixth in Iowa, fifth in New Hampshire, and suddenly the entire race reset in South Carolina and all these people dropped out and they consolidated behind Joe Biden, Buddha Judge, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren.
00:30:00.000 Isn't it something that an enterprising journalist has still not endorsed, still not published on that?
00:30:08.000 I want your help because the combined intelligence of this audience is remarkable.
00:30:15.000 Freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:30:16.000 I have the emails open.
00:30:19.000 Looking at James Clyburn and his nonsense triggered a thought here that I've had for quite some time.
00:30:24.000 They have a lot planned for us this year.
00:30:27.000 Things are not going well for them right now.
00:30:29.000 They are not.
00:30:30.000 But there's no guarantee it stays that way.
00:30:32.000 The Michigan warning sign.
00:30:34.000 We are ascendant on the major issues.
00:30:38.000 Is there going to be another disease deployed on the American people like COVID, disease X?
00:30:42.000 Maybe.
00:30:43.000 Will there be a biochemical event?
00:30:46.000 Maybe.
00:30:47.000 Was the ATT taking down the cell phone towers?
00:30:51.000 Was that a test run?
00:30:52.000 I don't think so.
00:30:54.000 But I want you to email me, freedom at charliekirk.com, because we have to make sure we do not leave an active posture.
00:31:02.000 And it's very simple.
00:31:03.000 If you're in an active posture from now to November and you win and nothing ends up happening and it's a boring year, then being in an active posture is no downside.
00:31:14.000 But I remember vividly the champagne that was flowing and the cockiness that was in abundance in early 2020.
00:31:24.000 I want to take you back to January 2020.
00:31:28.000 Remember it vividly.
00:31:29.000 It's four years ago.
00:31:31.000 I was visiting the Oval Office.
00:31:32.000 Trump was up in the polls.
00:31:34.000 The Democrat primary was full of acrimony and fighting.
00:31:39.000 Trump seemed to be unstoppable.
00:31:42.000 Nothing could get in the way.
00:31:44.000 Andrew was there with me.
00:31:46.000 It was this almost Hollywood film.
00:31:50.000 Remember?
00:31:51.000 We were at Mar-a-Lago, and it was the book publishing.
00:31:55.000 I was publishing my book, The MAGA Doctrine.
00:31:58.000 You could absolutely write, this was February 2020.
00:32:02.000 You could have a Netflix special just on this one night.
00:32:05.000 Off to the side was Donald Trump eating dinner with Jair Bolsonaro.
00:32:09.000 Off to the other side was Tucker Carlson, who was there to warn Donald Trump about COVID.
00:32:16.000 On the other part of the property was Don Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle, because it was Kimberly Guilfoyle's birthday.
00:32:21.000 We had our own party off to the side and kind of our own little table.
00:32:26.000 And it just felt too good to be true because there was this thing that people were starting to whisper, but it felt like it was like a fringe conspiracy.
00:32:34.000 COVID.
00:32:35.000 The economy was roaring.
00:32:37.000 It was humming.
00:32:40.000 We'd just taken out Soleimani.
00:32:42.000 Trump was unstoppable.
00:32:44.000 And little did we know our world as we know it was going to fundamentally transform and not for the better.
00:32:54.000 We had no idea.
00:32:57.000 Mike Pence was there and he looked very sullen, very somber.
00:33:03.000 He was in charge of COVID at the time and he met with Trump and then just left.
00:33:08.000 Motorcade left.
00:33:10.000 It was very Gatsby-like, actually, that night at Mar-a-Lago.
00:33:14.000 And it felt like we were on top of the world.
00:33:16.000 Felt like nothing could stop us.
00:33:20.000 And they had a plan for us.
00:33:22.000 So what do they have planned for us right now?
00:33:25.000 I don't know, but it's definitely sinister and it's coming.
00:33:32.000 Thanks so much for listening.
