00:00:37.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:46.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:06.000Right now, as I do this broadcast, there is an active Chinese spy balloon over Montana.
00:01:14.000The news broke last evening, and the obvious question I have that I know a lot of you have is why have we not done anything about it in the last 12 hours?
00:01:20.000Kind of staring in awe and wonder of having a Chinese spy balloon over our country.
00:01:26.000What are the Chinese doing deploying a spy balloon?
00:01:28.000Why are we just learning about it now?
00:01:57.000It's not clear what it was doing there, but the state is home to one of three U.S. Air Force bases with intercontinental ballistic missiles.
00:02:05.000The discovery coming just days before Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is scheduled to visit, guess where?
00:02:39.000Joe Biden should have shot this down, captured the data, given the data to the Secretary of State, Tony Blinken, put Tony Blinken on a plane to Beijing and thrown the balloon on a table if he was going to meet with the Chinese Communist Party.
00:02:52.000Of course, that's not going to happen.
00:02:54.000No, instead, Blinken says, I'm postponing my meeting.
00:02:58.000And what's so funny is that these are the same people that are beating the drums of war against Putin and they can't pop a balloon out of the sky.
00:03:07.000Let's send javelin tanks that, by the way, deteriorates and depletes, depletes is a better word, depletes our own weapon reserve, missiles, tanks, and yet our own leaders cannot find the intestinal fortitude, the gumption, or the spine to say, yeah, just pop a balloon.
00:03:27.000No, they say that they're worried that if they pop the balloon, that people might die or they might get hurt from it falling out of the sky.
00:04:22.000This is America's greatest enemy that your corporate elites, your politicians, and yes, the foreign agent who calls himself the President of the United States, Joe Biden, has been selling out the soul and the core of America for the last 30 and 40 years because it's cheap and easy money from the great enemy, the Chinese Communist Party.
00:04:39.000And now all of a sudden we have a balloon in our sky and we're supposed to be super perplexed by this.
00:05:15.000Not to mention what they have done with the Cyber Grid, Belt and Road Initiative, buying up third world countries, buying airports, and literally buying airports, then leasing them back to indigenous people in African countries, the Caribbean and South America, trying to take over the Brazilian government via Lula, dumping fentanyl into our country, dumping solar panels into our country, dumping steel into our country, infiltrating the American universities and professors,
00:05:42.000buying farmland or attempting to buy farmland next to military installations.
00:05:45.000Thankfully, North Dakota has decided to put a stop to that, but it's happening in Texas, happening in other places.
00:05:50.000The CCP has sent hundreds of thousands of students that are basically spies to our own universities.
00:05:58.000We take money from Confucius Institutes, which are pseudo-military installations.
00:06:10.000But where is their outrage and their protest and them being upset when our country has been taken over piece by piece and bit by bit?
00:06:21.000And then we have a president of the United States who's obviously a Chinese Communist Party agent, and his son at least is, but Joe Biden has always acted in the best interest of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:06:30.000As the Chinese Communist Party describes Joe Biden and his family, they might say bad things, bad mouth, big help is the four words that summarize the Chinese Communist Party's relationship with Joe Biden and American politicians.
00:06:47.000Little bad mouth, big help is what they say.
00:07:01.000The real reason why is that the current American government, Tony Blinken and Joe Biden, justify to themselves that there is going to be a merge of American and Chinese culture, and there's going to be this wonderful alliance and partnership, and we're going to be competitors, and we're going to have this beautiful forced assimilation between the atheist, godless, modern-day Nazi regime, that is the Chinese Communist Party, with our own Western version of secularism.
00:07:28.000The balloon just crossed over the Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana.
00:07:45.000The Chinese Communist Party, at least, is not known for their ethics.
00:07:47.000One of three nuclear launch facilities.
00:07:51.000Just so happened that the balloon, oh, it caught a bad wind, a bad draft, and it happens to go over one of our three nuclear launch facilities.
00:08:01.000And it's still active right there, right now.
00:08:04.000It is still right now active in the sky.
00:08:06.000And by the way, it's not just the balloon.
00:08:08.000I know it sounds like some people say, oh, it's, you know, it's something that just kind of floats.
00:08:13.000And it's, what's that movie of that young, young, oh boy, you know what movie I'm talking about.
00:12:09.000The Chinese Communist Party builds a lot of our critical infrastructure through Huawei and some of their other major companies.
00:12:16.000The Chinese Communist Party owns many of our universities.
00:12:20.000They're buying farmland all across the country.
00:12:23.000The Chinese Communist Party pays off professors to supply them with expertise and information.
00:12:28.000Every few months, there's another sting where some of these professors get arrested.
00:12:32.000A year ago, a Harvard chemistry professor got convicted for this.
00:12:36.000Our graduate schools, our internships, our tech jobs have a flood of Chinese STEM graduates, and China has built its entire economy around stealing American technology and reverse engineering it back at home.
00:12:47.000There are 300,000 Chinese students in America.
00:14:12.000It's floating in the sky as just kind of a reminder as we do this program.
00:14:17.000The CCP is taking us over, and our leaders are not willing to do anything.
00:14:21.000Now, remember, neoliberalism that we constantly talk about, neoliberalism and the neoliberal regime is all about getting as rich as you possibly can, bigger homes, more stuff.
00:14:36.000Doesn't matter if your country is falling apart.
00:14:38.000Neoliberalism views America not as a country, but as a colony.
00:14:44.000They don't believe in borders, language, culture, and they certainly do not believe in standing up against the Chinese Communist Party.
00:15:03.000If Vladimir Putin had a balloon over Montana, there would be sanctions, there would be tariffs, there would be international outrage, and there would be clamoring to try and hold Vladimir Putin accountable.
00:15:22.000So, why would it be that if Vladimir Putin had a balloon over America, that we would be mobilizing the infantry, activating the nuclear arsenal, having a special congressional committee, but if the CCP has a floating balloon over our country, we're supposed to be told by our media that the CCP tells us it's just a weather balloon.
00:15:43.000They're just trying to understand the winds.
00:15:49.000The balloon is now currently moving east and is over the center of the continental United States via the Pentagon.
00:15:55.000We're watching this thing as just a spectator.
00:17:09.000You said that this is violating our airspace, so why not take it down?
00:17:16.000Yeah, so clearly as we assess options and considering the size of the payload on this, looking at the potential for debris and the impact on civilians on the ground or property damage, again, running through the various factors and looking at in terms of does it pose a potential risk to people while in the air.
00:17:44.000And right now, as I mentioned, we assess that it does not pose a risk to people on the ground as it currently is traversing the continental United States.
00:17:52.000And so out of an abundance of caution, cognizant of the potential impact to civilians on the ground from a debris field, right now we're going to continue to monitor and review options.
00:19:04.000By the way, this is at times like this.
00:19:06.000I wish I wrote for the Babylon B. Yesterday I wrote the headline: is that hundreds of thousands of Montanans start firing randomly in the sky to take out the Chinese balloon?
00:19:16.000I'm like, that's a perfect Babylon B headline.
00:19:51.000For our announcement last night regarding the high-altitude surveillance balloon, I'm not going to have much new information to provide other than to say that the North American Aerospace Defense Command continues to monitor it closely.
00:20:03.000While we won't get into specifics in regards to the exact location, I can tell you that the balloon continues to move eastward and is currently over the center of the continental United States.
00:20:14.000Yeah, and so the devil's advocate is: well, the Pentagon might have some reasons why they're not shooting it down.
00:20:19.000Okay, I mean, again, the only reason I could think of is that there's a biological agent, an electromagnetic pulse weapon, or some sort of thermonuclear weapon on a weather balloon.
00:20:29.000Well, it's not a weather balloon, but on a surveillance balloon.
00:20:34.000Maybe they want to seize it and seize it intact.
00:20:39.000I mean, if all of that is true, then this is a provocation of war, and your 18-year-old grandson is going to be enlisting really soon to go fight the Chinese Communist Party, if that's true.
00:20:50.000If you're just like randomly casually flying over, you know, flying biological agents over the homeland of the United States, there really is no room for negotiation.
00:21:01.000And, well, and someone says, well, it's not a provocation of war.
00:21:06.000The point is that if it's not spying and it is a biological agent, that is a provocation of war.
00:21:12.000Just to make sure my argument is clear.
00:21:14.000That if you're just kind of flying a nuclear weapon over a country to take pictures and hope they shoot it down, again, I don't think that's likely.
00:21:27.000Someone can explain it to me, then fine, other than the unlikely argument that this is a weapon of mass destruction, a term that we've become all too familiar with over the last couple decades, that is hovering over the United States and they're trying to bait us into shooting it down.
00:21:44.000The Pentagon spokesperson was asked who's controlling this balloon.
00:21:48.000He says, we know it's a Chinese balloon.
00:21:50.000And he says the Chinese government is controlling the movement of the balloon.
00:21:54.000Or they was asked that and he said, I'm not going to have any special intelligence we may have.
00:21:58.000Again, we know that it's a Chinese balloon.
00:22:00.000Okay, so the only explanation is if there is a chemical agent or some mass weapon in the balloon and it's actually not a surveillance balloon.
00:22:10.000If that's the case, then everybody's lying to us.
00:22:13.000Or the more likely situation here is that our government is purchased and bought and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:22:21.000We're extremely weak and we've shown that in every possible regard.
00:22:25.000And we don't want to provoke China because the Wall Street Titans, the Sports Titans, the Hollywood Titans, and the Tech Titans want a merger of the Chinese Communist Party and the American ruling class because they get paid.
00:22:40.000The more likely explanation, again, I'm not totally dismissing that this might be a biochemical agent in the sky.
00:22:45.000I think that's very irrational on the part of the CCP, and the CCP has been acting very rational in their own Machiavellian secular evil self-interest, is that Joe Biden is a foreign agent of the Chinese Communist Party.
00:23:11.000And definitely the emails we're receiving at freedom at charliekirk.com is people are suspecting that this might be a biological chemical agent.
00:23:25.000That's an unlikelier explanation than the likely explanation that's in front of us, which is that our government does whatever the CCP wants.
00:23:33.000That's basically been the modus operandi.
00:24:35.000And it remains right over our homeland, taking pictures of critical infrastructure.
00:24:39.000But then it's also really kind of strange is why do they need to, why does the CCP need to do this?
00:24:44.000Because they already have satellite imaging.
00:24:48.000They have satellites pointed at us all the time.
00:24:50.000Now, according to people I just texted in the Department of Defense, they say these surveillance balloons give you much greater detail, much, let me make sure I get my words correctly.
00:26:01.000They've been taking over the entire country for as long as I have been alive.
00:26:05.000So maybe an unintended benefit of this is that people are going to wake up and be like, oh, wow, I didn't realize the Chinese were controlling so much.
00:26:14.000Again, they control the National Basketball Association.
00:26:42.000Could you imagine the CCP coming out and saying, we just wanted pictures of our land because we've allowed them to do it.
00:26:51.000Because if money is your ultimate value, which the American ruling class and the elite, as they become more secular and less patriotic and less religious and faithful, if your ultimate value is just profit, which the libertarians have been telling us is a good thing, then why wouldn't you sell all of your land to China?
00:27:24.000Our elites are really putting on a masterclass on this.
00:27:27.000And let me just put one more thing on this.
00:27:30.000Someone said, Charlie, I don't believe our military is this incompetent.
00:27:34.000Well, you should, especially after Afghanistan.
00:27:38.000The very same clowns, not one person was fired, not one person resigned that gave us Afghanistan are the ones that are paralyzed by a foreign infiltrator, aka a balloon over our country.
00:27:54.000The story is so full of hot air, no pun intended.
00:27:59.000Somebody says here, well, Charlie, is the military allowed to act domestically?
00:28:04.000Well, yeah, if you're being invaded, of course, that's the whole part.
00:28:08.000That's such an interesting question because we have, first of all, we've lived in such an era where it's not the Department of Defense, it's the Department of Invading Other Countries, where we actually have not had a, it should be the Department of War, is what it used to be called when our country was founded, is that we're so programmed to believe that wars happen away from us, except, of course, the southern border invasion, that when a foreign adversary does something militaristically, we're like, wait, are we allowed to do anything?
00:28:41.000You exist literally to deter invasions.
00:28:43.000I know you're really used to trying to, you know, install democracy in Libya, but the real reason that you're chartered as the Department of Defense to defend the country.
00:28:54.000I mean, I want you to imagine right now, there are a group of like 23-year-old CCP nerds staring at a screen, probably in a big room, with Xi Ji Ping, Winnie the Pooh, in the back of the room, chuckling while he's eating a dog or something, saying to the programmers, oh, yeah, move it a little to the right.
00:29:17.000I mean, at this point, I think it's fair to say this is a real-time troll by the Chinese Communist Party.
00:29:24.000At this point, this is a real-time, like we're going to just show you that you don't have the will, you don't have the fortitude, you don't have the spine.
00:29:36.000We're just going to kind of just float this thing all over the place.
00:29:58.000If it's going further east, it's not going west, so it's not trying to return home.
00:30:02.000Source in the Intel community we have on this program said China-Russia said there's more to this than they're saying, but he won't say what.
00:30:08.000Okay, I'm so tired of this cryptic stuff.
00:30:10.000Honestly, just be on, just be transparent with the American people.
00:30:16.000Unless it's totally necessary to the success of a current and ongoing mission, just be honest.
00:30:44.000This is rather unprecedented in the sense of just a flagrant operation above the American homeland.
00:30:58.000I mean, I don't trust any of our military and you shouldn't either.
00:31:00.000It was funny when Blake Masters was running against Mark Kelly and Mark Kelly kept on running this ad of Blake Masters saying that our military generals are incompetent.
00:31:08.000Mark Kelly had a picture of all these veterans that were so offended by it.
00:32:10.000If the Chinese Communist Party is operating this, which we can believe it is, and they get caught, wouldn't they just do a U-turn and go back to Beijing?
