00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, open border crisis.

00:00:03.000 Are there jobs Americans don't want to do?

00:02:45.000 What is a border?

00:02:47.000 Is a border a suggestion or is it something that defines sovereignty?

00:02:56.000 That is the beginning and the end of a nation.

00:03:00.000 The idea of a border is not an outdated or antiquated idea.

00:03:06.000 In fact, in the podcast we dropped last evening and it went well into today.

00:03:13.000 I encourage you to check it out.

00:03:14.000 We talked about just because something is old does not mean it is outdated.

00:03:19.000 Sometimes that's the case, but that's not necessarily true.

00:03:21.000 What is a border?

00:03:22.000 Do borders matter?

00:03:25.000 Well, a border is where a nation says this is where our control, our sovereignty, begins and ends.

00:03:38.000 It's literally the difference between life and death in certain parts of the world, between North and South Korea.

00:03:44.000 Most famously, and most young people are not taught about this at all, East and West Germany or East and West Berlin, India and Pakistan.

00:03:54.000 Borders matter.

00:03:58.000 There is an increasing anti-border movement within our country.

00:04:04.000 We call these people open borders.

00:04:06.000 We also call them globalists.

00:04:09.000 Many people on the left and on the corporate right believe that borders are an antiquated, outdated, ancient idea.

00:04:20.000 You see, we sophisticated citizens, we understand that borders must be eliminated.

00:04:29.000 We understand that borders are what prevents us from living in a one-world community.

00:04:42.000 What's happening right now on our southern border is a crisis.

00:04:47.000 And it's the first crisis that I can think of in my lifetime that was created quickly and intentionally.

00:04:56.000 This is absolutely at the making of Joe Biden.

00:05:00.000 Joe Biden did not inherit a border crisis.

00:05:04.000 Joe Biden did not come into office with a surge of unaccompanied minor children.

00:05:12.000 And I'm going to walk through exactly what that means.

00:05:14.000 It did not have to be this way.

00:05:22.000 The southern border is now becoming such a crisis that even CNN is covering it.

00:05:29.000 Yesterday, the mayor of McAllen, Texas was on CNN talking about what was happening on the southern border.

00:05:36.000 We're going to walk through the specifics and the numbers.

00:05:38.000 And I'm going to say something that I hope Media Matters writes up.

00:05:42.000 That's right.

00:05:42.000 I actually hope they write it up.

00:05:44.000 The crisis on the southern border and the threat that is growing is currently a bigger threat to the United States of America than the Chinese coronavirus.

00:05:58.000 It's a threat to our sovereignty.

00:05:59.000 It's a threat to the rule of law.

00:06:01.000 It's a threat to our way of life.

00:06:03.000 It's a threat also because people are coming with the Chinese coronavirus.

00:06:09.000 There are 7,000 unaccompanied minors in shelters. 0.99

00:06:18.000 I laugh when people say human beings are basically good.

00:06:23.000 How can human beings possibly be basically good when you see 7,000 families that just abandon their kids and say, we're going to sell you for cash so you could walk across the southern border with either a cartel member, a smuggler, or a human trafficker?

00:06:41.000 What we learned on our podcast yesterday, which I encourage you to check out, the Charlie Kirk Show podcast on Apple Podcast or Spotify, Tom Holman informed us, and he said a term, and I made him stop.

00:06:53.000 I said, what do you mean by that?

00:06:55.000 He said, oh, yeah, well, there are thousands of children that are rented on the southern border every month.

00:06:59.000 I said, what do you mean rented?

00:07:01.000 What are they, a Yukon XL?

00:07:03.000 Are they a Ford Explorer?

00:07:05.000 What do you mean rented?

00:07:07.000 Is it a home video?

00:07:09.000 What kind of a term to use child and rented?

00:07:12.000 Who does that?

00:07:13.000 He said, oh, yeah, this happens all the time on the southern border.

00:07:16.000 Children are rented.

00:07:18.000 Where you'll have a cartel member that wants to get into the United States, someone that wants to be involved in drug smuggling.

00:07:28.000 But he currently doesn't have a child that he can cross the border with.

00:07:32.000 So in order to get asylum status, in order to get a favorable judgment if he is caught, he will either cross the border in anticipation of being caught with that child or just go into a port of entry and declare asylum status with the child.

00:07:54.000 Now, President Trump developed a creative solution called the Remain in Mexico solution, where basically, if you come here and declare asylum to wait for your court date, you must wait in Mexico.

00:08:10.000 You don't get released into the interior of the United States.

00:08:16.000 Currently, the surge happening on the southern border is one of the greatest increases we have ever seen.

00:08:27.000 7,000 unaccompanied minors in just the last couple of weeks.

00:08:31.000 7,000.

00:08:34.000 Rough estimates show that over 100,000 illegals are passing into the interior every single month.

00:08:44.000 We are the most powerful nation in the history of the world, and we're basically now being reduced to groveling for volunteers.

00:08:54.000 That's what we're doing now.

00:08:56.000 Please come and help on the southern border.

00:08:58.000 This is all manufactured.

00:09:00.000 This is all created.

00:09:04.000 One of the most frustrating lies that I have to encounter, and I have to say it's mostly from suburban voters that believe this is the fallacy of shared intentions or the fallacy of shared outcomes.

00:09:28.000 We hear all the time, well, we all want the same thing, we just have different ways of getting there.

00:09:36.000 And I'm sure you've heard that.

00:09:38.000 And I'm sure in certain circumstances, it's absolutely true.

00:09:41.000 If you're dealing with a genuine moderate, you're dealing with someone that loves their country.

00:09:47.000 But less and less, and almost to an extent that's non-existent, I do not believe that we want the same thing.

00:09:56.000 There is no way that you can have the same intentions that we have, the people that love our country, and forget the term conservative, forget the term Republican, just someone who loves their country, and then make the decisions that Joe Biden and his administration have made when it comes to the southern border.

00:10:15.000 You must have different intentions.

00:10:17.000 You must desire a separate outcome.

00:10:21.000 It is impossible to believe.

00:10:23.000 In fact, I refuse to believe that the intentions behind what is happening is pure.

00:10:32.000 The Department of Homeland Security is now calling for volunteers.

00:10:35.000 Gensaki refused to acknowledge that this is even a problem.

00:10:41.000 So why are they doing this?

00:10:43.000 What is their intention?

00:10:46.000 It's partially this.

00:10:49.000 It's generosity gone wrong.

00:10:53.000 That's part of the answer, but it's not the whole answer, and it's not even the most important part of the answer.

00:10:59.000 To attribute what's happening on the southern border as well-intentioned activists running our government that now have an unexpected crisis on their hands does not accurately depict how malevolent these people are.

00:11:21.000 So now we have a situation on our southern border that will jeopardize our way of life and everything that we know.

00:11:31.000 And I'm going to keep on diving into it.

00:11:36.000 My buddy Ed Zeman has a new thing you got to check out.

00:11:39.000 Maybe you are an RV person and you are looking for a good RV resort.

00:11:44.000 I saw this resort.

00:11:45.000 It is world-class.

00:11:47.000 And so if you are taking your RV around the country and maybe listening to the Charlie Kirk show, I know a lot of people are.

00:11:52.000 There's a great place for it.

00:11:53.000 It's thetidesrvresort.com.

00:11:56.000 It's very close to the Tampa-St. Petersburg area.

00:11:59.000 It's a luxury RV resort that was just completed in 2020 and has spared no expense to bring you the best in comfort and beauty.

00:12:08.000 I have been there, and again, I could tell you it's remarkable.

00:12:10.000 It has everything you could want as a high-end RV owner, including two pools, a clubhouse, 30-acre lake, a billiard room, card room, office kayaking on the river, and plenty more things to do for an active lifestyle.

00:12:24.000 So go to thetidesrvresort.com or call them directly at 941-244-5744.

00:12:31.000 The Tides RV Resort is amazing.

00:12:33.000 It's the best I've ever seen.

00:12:35.000 Again, it's operated by my good friends, the Zeman family.

00:12:39.000 They are outstanding American entrepreneurs and patriots and deserve your business.

00:12:44.000 If you are an RV person, which I know a lot of people are, then this is the place for you.

00:12:50.000 Experience this beautiful country and go to a free and open state in Florida.

00:12:54.000 Don't let the lockdowns get in the way of you living your life.

00:12:57.000 Go to the Tides RV Resort, and I promise you, you won't regret it.

00:13:05.000 Keith emailed us.

00:13:07.000 I love the wisdom of our listeners and our viewers.

00:13:10.000 In fact, I have a fun story to share about that, which I will do so later in the show.

00:13:14.000 Keith says, it's not generosity going wrong.

00:13:18.000 Biden and the rest of the globalists want to destroy America and rebuild some kind of communist, socialist utopia.

00:13:24.000 Good to see you, Charlie.

00:13:25.000 I hope all is well.

00:13:26.000 All is well, except our country is currently going through a crisis, a legitimate crisis on the southern border.

00:13:32.000 And it seems, it's very interesting.

00:13:35.000 Only if you study history are you able to use the term unprecedented.

00:13:39.000 You see, history matters, and it matters more than I think people realize.

00:13:43.000 We don't teach our children history anymore.

00:13:45.000 Instead, we teach them selected narratives from the last couple hundred years to try and establish a belief that America is a racist, bigoted, homophobic, colonialist country, of which it is not true at all.

00:14:01.000 And so only if you study history are you able to see whether or not something is unprecedented and whether or not something is a danger to your country.

00:14:09.000 Again, this all comes back to the struggle of human nature.

00:14:12.000 If you believe human nature is malleable and is able to be changed, then history really doesn't mean much to you because you're smarter than everyone who came before you.

00:14:20.000 So why on earth would you study history?

00:14:22.000 If you think human beings act in predictable patterns and they're likely to do things that they've done before, whether it be civilizationally or politically or personally, then history is a really important guide.

00:14:34.000 And we know that looking back into history, open and porous borders are dangerous for a culture, a civilization, and a country.

00:14:43.000 And now just looking in the last couple of years, what we are seeing at the southern border, the numbers related to it are unprecedented in every single sense.

00:14:58.000 We are now expecting around 100,000 border apprehensions.

00:15:06.000 Those are just the people that are being apprehended.

00:15:11.000 Tom Homan, who was on our podcast, I encourage you to check it out, said that there's over 100,000 getaways a month.

00:15:24.000 A getaway is someone who just slips through the cracks and no one stops him or her.

00:15:31.000 There's a video that I have on Facebook that has been viewed over 35 million times.

00:15:37.000 It's when I decided to go visit the southern border.

00:15:41.000 I decided to go visit the southern border with Art Del Cuerto, a good friend of mine who he's a border patrol agent himself, and he helps run the border patrol union on the southern border.

00:15:56.000 And he brought me right down to the southern border, and I saw myself how wide open, porous the boundary between the United States and Mexico is.

00:16:13.000 You could walk freely if you chose.

00:16:15.000 There is no wall, there is no barrier, and that is right there in right near Tucson, Arizona, that sector right near Nahalis that guns, drugs, and children are sex trafficked every single day.

00:16:37.000 And so this idea that the people running our country have any interest at all, securing the southern border is incorrect. 0.77

00:16:46.000 They say that to get elected.

00:16:48.000 Oh, we want some form of border security.

00:16:50.000 They don't.

00:16:51.000 Their intention is an open border.

00:16:55.000 And I also don't think, I think that Republicans deserve some criticism here.

00:17:01.000 How is it possible that in an era of new technology that we do not have thousands of drones on the southern border, not armed, but for reconnaissance, thermal detectors?

00:17:14.000 I don't understand why we have not updated some of the technological advances to be able to have a zero tolerance policy on the southern border.

00:17:25.000 Zero.

00:17:27.000 There should not be one human being crossing the southern border. 0.99

00:17:30.000 And another thing that really frustrates me is how we're describing the border jumpers that are coming into our country.

00:17:42.000 I know a lot of legal immigrants, and they love this country. 0.84

00:17:47.000 And they waited in line to come into America.

00:17:51.000 They did the right thing.

00:17:53.000 They didn't commit crimes.

00:17:54.000 They paid their taxes.

00:17:56.000 They waited in line, are now here.

00:17:58.000 Some of them have vibrant businesses.

00:18:00.000 They love President Trump from Eastern Europe or Southeast Asia.

00:18:04.000 Those are immigrants. 1.00

00:18:07.000 We cannot, should not call the people that illegally enter into our country and break the law an immigrant. 1.00

00:18:15.000 That is not an immigrant. 0.97

00:18:17.000 In fact, it's an insult to everyone that has come here legally and our process that allows those people to come here legally. 0.95

00:18:25.000 And to conflate the two is deceiving and dangerous.

00:18:34.000 Look, you've heard me talk about my pillow.

00:18:36.000 And if you want to support Mike Lindell, do it through my pillow.

00:18:39.000 And a lot of people are saying it's literally changing their life.

00:18:42.000 They won't go flat, and you can wash and dry them as many times.

00:18:45.000 But all that aside, Mike Lindell, a lot of you are asking me, how do I support Mike Lindell?

00:18:51.000 I love what he's doing.

00:18:52.000 I think he has great character.

00:19:25.000 Okay, so let's get to some sound here.

00:19:28.000 Joe Biden has to own this border crisis.

00:19:31.000 Now, even the activist media is being forced to cover this in some way.

00:19:38.000 Let's go to cut 24, where Joe Biden just ignores questions from reporters.

00:19:42.000 Now, something very interesting is happening.

00:19:46.000 The activist media is now feeling the financial pressure of not having Donald Trump around.

00:19:54.000 The Huffington Post laid off, I think it was like 60 or 70 people.

00:19:59.000 And by the way, in a very cruel way, mind I add.

00:20:03.000 And the Huffington Post is not exactly an institution that I think is worthy of preservation for the advancement of Western civilization.

00:20:14.000 However, it was pretty heartless the way that they laid off these Huffington Post reporters.

00:20:18.000 With that being said, that got more coverage and sympathy in the activist Twitter sphere than the Keystone XL pipeline getting signed away through an executive fiat.

00:20:29.000 But the press is feeling the financial pressure.

00:20:34.000 In fact, we'll get the...

00:20:36.000 Oh, you see, producer Andrew is on top of it.

00:20:39.000 He is now throwing the receiver open.

00:20:42.000 I miss football.

00:20:44.000 Mainstream media web traffic has slumped by 20% after President Trump left office, with the press writing three times fewer stories about Biden than they did about Trump in the same month he took office in 2017.

00:20:57.000 Basically, traffic, revenue, and profits are going down.

00:21:02.000 The media needs to justify their huge overhead.

00:21:07.000 So some of them are saying, hey, there must be some story out here somewhere, something we can ask Joe Biden to sell newspapers.

00:21:16.000 Here's one brave soul trying that.

00:21:19.000 Cut 24.

00:21:21.000 And then if I did this.

00:21:36.000 Let's go, you guys.

00:21:37.000 Come on.

00:21:39.000 Asking, is there a crisis at the border, sir?

00:21:41.000 And Joe Biden looks, at best, dazed and confused.

00:21:46.000 Now, another reporter, this is probably one of the reporters that got laid off at the Huffington Post.

00:21:50.000 She believes, or he, I haven't seen this clip, but I've read the transcript, believes the most pressing issue of our time is whether or not there is a White House cat.

00:22:00.000 Play Cut 25.

00:22:01.000 You've had all about dogs.

00:22:03.000 We were promised a White House cat.

00:22:04.000 What happened to that?

00:22:05.000 Where is the cat?

00:22:06.000 Today's a good day for the cat.

00:22:08.000 I don't have any update on the cat.

00:22:10.000 We know the cat will break the internet, but I don't have any update on its status.

00:22:14.000 Real investigative journalism.

00:22:18.000 And so here's an actual question that's being asked, unlike whether or not there is a cat in the White House.

00:22:25.000 Kid you not.

00:22:26.000 That's a legitimate question.

00:22:27.000 Do you think Kaylee McEnany got a question like that?

00:22:29.000 Do you think Sarah Sanders or Sean Spicer?

00:22:32.000 Basically, the question that was asked out of Kaylee McEnany every single day is, does Donald Trump enjoy beating you guys in the morning with a rod?

00:22:41.000 Does he enjoy that?

00:22:42.000 That's like the question, which of course is the old fallacy.

00:22:45.000 There's no way you could possibly answer that question.

00:22:48.000 Cut 26, a reporter asks about the amount of migrants in this country.

00:22:54.000 Again, these are not migrants. 0.99

00:22:55.000 These are border jumpers. 1.00

00:22:57.000 Cut 26. 0.93

00:22:59.000 Follow up on that, Jim.

00:23:00.000 Thanks.

00:23:01.000 There are reports out there that the number of unaccompanied migrants detained at the border has tripled in the last two weeks to 3,200 plus.

00:23:09.000 Is that number accurate?

00:23:11.000 I'm not going to confirm numbers from here.

00:23:13.000 Obviously, the Department of Homeland Security and others oversee the programs and the engagements that happen at the border.

00:23:19.000 Those numbers are tracked by the Department of Homeland Security.

00:23:22.000 So I'm certainly, I'm just suggesting that you talk to them about specifics.

00:23:25.000 They won't confirm the numbers.

00:23:27.000 I would encourage you to go back to them and ask them again.

00:23:29.000 We're not going to confirm them from the White House.

00:23:30.000 It's not our program.

00:23:32.000 Not our responsibility.

00:23:34.000 It's a different government. 0.75

00:23:36.000 That's basically the argument she's making.

00:23:37.000 Department of Homeland Security, it's not like it's a cabinet position or anything.

00:23:42.000 Now, of course, Joe Biden ran on the buck stops here.

00:23:45.000 Elect me.

00:23:45.000 I'm going to solve all your problems.

00:23:48.000 And for people that are now regretting their Biden vote, I know some of these people, they say, well, I didn't vote for this.

00:23:55.000 Wow.

00:23:56.000 Cut 36, Biden administration saying that the crisis, the border, is not a crisis, and that we don't need to put labels on it because we know it.

00:24:05.000 Cut 36.

00:24:06.000 Do you believe that right now there's a crisis at the border?

00:24:10.000 I think that the answer is no.

00:24:12.000 At this point, is this a crisis at the border?

00:24:15.000 Look, I don't think we need to sit here and put new labels on what we have already conveyed is challenging.

00:24:21.000 And so a lot of people are asking now: well, what should our border policy be?

00:24:26.000 Well, first of all, we should have a zero tolerance policy for anyone crossing into our country illegally.

00:24:33.000 And so Joe Biden and the Democrats want a suggestion of a southern border, almost a non-existent southern border.

00:24:43.000 And why do they want that?

00:24:45.000 They want millions of people to come into the country because eventually they believe they'll vote Democrat.

00:24:50.000 They can use it as a political issue, despite the amount of crime that is then being imported into our country.

00:24:59.000 This idea of the peaceful illegal is just not true.

00:25:03.000 And most people are afraid to talk about this because they are afraid they're going to be called the R-word.

00:25:08.000 Well, we talk about facts on this program, and here they are.

00:25:12.000 In the fiscal year 2019, ICE agents arrested more than 143,000 people in the interior of the United States.

00:25:20.000 The most convictions or criminal charges pending against them were DUI, 74,000, drug offenses, 67,000, and 1,900 convicted of homicide.

00:25:33.000 That's right, 1,900 murderers that are just allowed to come straight into our country.

00:25:38.000 Convictions or criminal charges of the aliens arrested also included 1,800 homicide-related crimes, 1,600 kidnappings, 37,000 assaults, and 10,000 sex crimes.

00:25:53.000 Of those, 4,276 were known or suspected gang members, 675 of whom are believed to have been gang members of the brutal MS-13.

00:26:03.000 31 were known or suspected terrorists.

00:26:08.000 Of all those arrested by ICE in fiscal year 2020, 90% had criminal convictions or charged at the time of arrest.

00:26:17.000 The Founding Fathers warned us about something, and I mentioned this on Steve Hilton's program on Fox News, and it resonated with some people, but I think I could build it out a little bit better here, which is the Founding Fathers warned us that if you were ever in a set of circumstances where the rulers, the people that make the laws, the people that administer the rules and laws, don't live under the laws that they pass,

00:26:46.000 then you will no longer have a republic.

00:26:48.000 You will have a dictatorship or a tyranny.

00:26:52.000 That is the ultimate description.

00:26:56.000 That is the best way to describe the death of a republic when you have people that make the rules that don't live under the rules.

00:27:08.000 We went under this.

00:27:10.000 We lived through this, I should say.

00:27:12.000 We went through this in the Obamacare debate when Congress was exempting themselves from Obamacare. 0.85

00:27:19.000 Understand that members of Congress are exempt from the cost and the consequences of illegal immigration. 0.99

00:27:28.000 Their neighborhoods, their private schools, their colleges, their corporations, their country clubs will not be impacted by another 5 million Nicaraguans coming into America. 0.95

00:27:41.000 Meanwhile, 17 million Americans remain unemployed in the United States, all seeking full-time work. 0.99

00:27:52.000 The Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that 6.9 million people are out of the labor force entirely and 6.1 million people remain underemployed.

00:28:03.000 So, therefore, by definition, you bring in another 5 or 6 million people into the country.

00:28:10.000 Well, whose jobs are they going to take?

00:28:12.000 And will it actually result in wages going higher?

00:28:16.000 The answer is, of course, not.

00:28:18.000 But we have a set of circumstances.

00:28:23.000 We have a group of rulers that are not impacted day to day by the decisions they make against you at all.

00:28:34.000 Instead, they're able to say, we want you to live a certain way because it will benefit our own political future.

00:28:43.000 Republicans want open borders like Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney because it benefits their corporate agenda.

00:28:54.000 Jake on our team mentioned something the other day.

00:28:56.000 He went to Bain Capital's website.

00:28:58.000 I encourage you to go to Bain Capital's website.

00:29:00.000 Bain Capital, which is Mitt Romney's former employer.

00:29:05.000 He started Bain Capital, whatever.

00:29:08.000 And it says on there that they are going to dedicate $100 million to woke capital investments or black-driven enterprise, right? 0.71

00:29:20.000 Something like that. 0.79

00:29:20.000 We'll get the exact wording. 0.79

00:29:23.000 Bain Capital wants open borders.

00:29:28.000 Bain Capital, right here, our commitment to achieving racial equity and social justice, provide more than $100 million to our partners over the next 10 years to organizations focus on social justice, civil rights, and racial equality.

00:29:41.000 Create economic development initiative, improve diverse representation.

00:29:47.000 The time for change is now.

00:29:49.000 We must do better.

00:29:50.000 We are committed.

00:29:51.000 This is all part of a woke supremacist agenda, or what we call the woke industrial complex.

00:30:00.000 And basically, it benefits everyone except the country and people who love the country.

00:30:10.000 And the open border crisis that we have right now contributes to this directly.

00:30:18.000 Instead of addressing the crisis we have in America of mental health, suicide, opioid addiction, business closures, the death of entrepreneurship, student debt, the erosion of the middle class, our leaders say, you know, the way that we're going to be able to address all of this? 0.73

00:30:33.000 Let's open up the floodgates to the third world with no attempts whatsoever to try to stem or prevent this and remake America quickly in our image. 0.80

00:30:47.000 If a country does not have a shared history, language, or culture, it is no longer a country. 0.98

00:30:58.000 And it comes down to this fundamental question: is America our home or is it a colony?

00:31:07.000 Or most importantly, is America a country that has an economy in it or is America an economy that happens to be within a country?

00:31:18.000 America's our home and it's our country.

00:31:22.000 The economy comes second.

00:31:28.000 So, are you making full use of your savings?

00:31:31.000 Think of the times that you've yearned for better returns.

00:31:34.000 After real inflation, charges, and taxes, are you even making a profit?

00:31:38.000 With food, clothing, and rent all more doubling over the last 10 years, you need to do something different.

00:31:45.000 Gambling on Robin Hood or stocks might lose you everything you have.

00:31:48.000 And like thousands of others, you want to retire stress-free.

00:31:53.000 A precious metals IRA with Noble Gold could be the answer you've been looking for.

00:31:57.000 And this month, Noble Gold is gifting a genuine, rare Carson City-minted Morgan silver dollar with every qualifying IRA or 401k.

00:32:05.000 These coins were around in a time when an ounce of silver was worth a dollar.

00:32:09.000 For example, in 1893, a mint condition coin is now worth more than $3,250, a staggering 32,500% increase.

00:32:20.000 That's a return of 2,500% a year.

00:32:24.000 It is a hedge against inflation.

00:32:25.000 We know inflation is coming.

00:32:27.000 So, if you want something you can touch and something you can feel and something you can trade and something that is real, go to noblegoldinvestments.com and tell them the Charlie Kirk show sent you.

00:32:37.000 NobleGoldInvestments.com or call 877-646-5347.

00:32:42.000 That's noblegoldinvestments.com.

00:32:48.000 It's Wednesday, so that means we go right into the professor watch list, professorwatchlist.org.

00:32:55.000 That's professorwatchlist.org.

00:32:57.000 You guys can read alongside me, a project of Turning Point USA, where we profile professors so you understand where your tuition dollars are going and why the country is headed in a very uncertain direction.

00:33:12.000 Today's Professor Watchlist, we are talking about Amber Catherine.

00:33:17.000 She is a professor at Santa Monica College.

00:33:22.000 She's a professor of philosophy.

00:33:24.000 Now, before I go any further, philosophy comes from two Greek words: philo, which means love.

00:33:33.000 It's where we get the idea of brotherly love, not agape love, not storge love or eros love, but phileo love, brotherly love, but a love that is non-romantic, but still very serious and respected, and wisdom.

00:33:50.000 So, the love of wisdom.

00:33:51.000 That's where we get the word philosophy from.

00:33:54.000 As I start to talk more about Amber Catherine, you can see she does not love wisdom.

00:34:00.000 So, Catherine, Amber Catherine, teaches your children this.

00:34:04.000 She serves as a co-organizer of an event, facilitating and helping students marry the ocean.

00:34:16.000 That's right, she oversees a pagan ceremony where students are able to participate in a ceremony of giving their vows to nature.

00:34:28.000 She called this the eco-sextravravaganza, the eco-sextravaganza, described as a quote, rallying call to incite intergenerational barrier-busting planetary dialogue.

00:34:44.000 According to the COSER, and I'm reading from professorwatchlist.org, remember, these are the people that are teaching your children and grandchildren.

00:34:50.000 Aren't you lucky to spend $70,000 a year to have these very enlightened people teach your children?

00:34:59.000 A student newspaper at Santa Monica College covering the event: students underwent an eco-boot camp as part of the eco-sex travaganza.

00:35:07.000 Organizers included University of California Professor Elizabeth Stevens and a pornographic actress, Annie Sprinkle.

00:35:16.000 Organizers, in fact, instructed the students in attendance to, quote, view earth as a lover rather than as a mother or another being rather than a separate entity.

00:35:27.000 In another interview with Campus Reform, Catherine stated the goals of the event were for students to develop a deeper love and lust for America.

00:35:38.000 So when I say the left is actually engaged in earth worship, they are.

00:35:45.000 Participants marry the ocean in a ceremony conducted on the beach the following day.

00:35:50.000 Quote, today we stand upon this holy earth and in this sacred space to witness the rite of matrimony between the sea and us all.

00:35:59.000 And students happily participate in this.

00:36:03.000 You see, this is what happens when you have no God.

00:36:06.000 You have no wisdom.

00:36:08.000 Therefore, you enter a state of confusion and you don't understand what the purpose of nature is.

00:36:14.000 So because Amber Catherine has no wisdom, she looks around and she says, well, nature must be there for us to have some sort of eco-sextravaganza relationship with.

00:36:26.000 And your children learn this.

00:36:29.000 Why do you think that young millennials in Santa Monica who are married don't want to have children?

00:36:34.000 Maybe because they've been learning from Amber Catherine that children pollute the earth and we work for the earth and we are nothing but visitors here on this planet, which of course, biblical wisdom will tell you the exact opposite, that the earth is here for us.

00:36:50.000 I believe in human supremacy over the planet.

00:36:54.000 All human beings, by the way, there's a human hierarchy.

00:36:59.000 The water, the sun, the mountains, the air, the birds, and the animals are there for our pleasure, our flourishing, our multiplication, our replication.

00:37:11.000 We are not here to get in some sort of a strange relationship with the earth.

00:37:18.000 We should not abuse the earth.

00:37:19.000 We should respect it, and it's in our self-interest to do so.

00:37:24.000 But indulging in this quasi-paganistic belief that Amber Catherine advances shows exactly the heart of the American environmentalist movement.

00:37:37.000 And it's headquartered on a college campus near you.

00:37:40.000 I love some of the emails that we get here.

00:37:45.000 Here's one from Tom, emailed us, freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:37:49.000 Charlie, thank you so much for mentioning the Federalist article yesterday about the Naperville School District 203 bringing in the critical race theory program to teachers.

00:38:01.000 My child goes to the Naperville School District, and I didn't know about this.

00:38:07.000 This stuff obviously goes on without public knowledge.

00:38:10.000 I'm sick to my stomach.

00:38:12.000 This is patent racism against everyone, frankly.

00:38:14.000 I read both articles on the Federalist wrote last night.

00:38:17.000 The school district is shameful from this.

00:38:19.000 I hope more parents will be informed and involved now.

00:38:21.000 Thank you.

00:38:24.000 So yesterday, I spent time with some friends, and they listened on AM560, The Answer, and they listened to the Charlie Kirk Show podcast, of which we are very thankful.

00:38:35.000 And I was talking to some guys that were running for school board, really good guys, and they're doing the right thing.

00:38:39.000 And they did not even know about the Illinois State Board of Education new guidelines that were put in.

00:38:45.000 There are people that are in the positions or running to be in the positions that don't even know everything that's happening in these states or these school districts.

00:38:53.000 So that's what we try to do here.

00:38:54.000 We try to have exposure.

00:38:56.000 We are doing what the activist media is supposed to do.

00:38:58.000 In fact, that is the theme of our upcoming episode with Cheryl Atkinson, who's terrific.

00:39:06.000 So make sure to check that out.

00:39:10.000 I've never seen Such powerful people complain so much and try to get sympathy from the rest of the population.

00:39:22.000 Have you noticed how the ruling class, when anything doesn't go their way or they don't have record sales that they want or desire, the new way to give yourself permanency, well, it's first, the first way is by buying progressive insurance and no, not the company, is do the correct woke action items and that will save your career. 0.93

00:39:51.000 The second thing, though, then, is to then play the victim, like Megan Markle.

00:39:57.000 Now, Piers Morgan, I don't know if Piers Morgan was fired or Piers Morgan resigned from Good Morning Britain.

00:40:06.000 Is that the name of the show?

00:40:07.000 Good morning, Britain.

00:40:09.000 I don't know if he resigned or was fired, but it's outrageous.

00:40:12.000 Pierce said nothing wrong.

00:40:15.000 In fact, I went way more direct after Megan Markle.

00:40:20.000 And I can tell you right now, we're not going anywhere.

00:40:24.000 For whatever reason, Megan Markle is not allowed to be criticized. 1.00

00:40:30.000 Very ungrateful, unhappy woman, Megan Markle. 1.00

00:40:37.000 And Tucker Carlson played on this perfectly.

00:40:40.000 Tucker, I think, is one of the wisest people on television.

00:40:47.000 He talked about Taylor Lorenz and how on International Women's Day, she complained about how hard life is.

00:40:57.000 This is a very important point that I want to build out.

00:41:02.000 But first, let's let Tucker begin the argument.

00:41:04.000 Play tape.

00:41:09.000 The most powerful people claiming to be powerless.

00:41:12.000 Taylor Lorenz, for example, writes for the New York Times. 0.95

00:41:15.000 She's at the very top of journalism's repulsive little food chain.

00:41:18.000 Lorenz is far younger than prominent New York Times reporters used to be.

00:41:22.000 She's also much less talented.

00:41:24.000 You'd think Taylor Lorenz would be grateful for the remarkable good luck that she's had, but no, she's not.

00:41:30.000 Just this morning, she tweeted this: quote, for International Women's Day, please consider supporting women enduring online harassment.

00:41:38.000 It's not an exaggeration to say that the harassment and smear campaign I've had to endure over the past year has destroyed my life.

00:41:46.000 Hmm, destroyed her life, really?

00:41:48.000 By most people's standards, Taylor Lorenz would seem to have a pretty good life, one of the best lives in the country, in fact.

00:41:54.000 Lots of people are suffering right now, but no one's suffering quite as much as Taylor Lorenz is suffering. 0.62

00:42:00.000 People have criticized her opinions on the internet, and it destroyed her life.

00:42:04.000 Let's pause on this International Women's Day and recognize that. 1.00

00:42:08.000 You thought female Uyghurs had it bad. 0.99

00:42:10.000 You haven't talked to Taylor Lorenz.

00:42:15.000 And people online are now saying that Tucker Carlson is trying to target and dox her because he kept on saying her name over and over again.

00:42:25.000 If you're in the public limelight, you're going to get online harassment.

00:42:28.000 Everyone has different ways of dealing with it.

00:42:31.000 I've chose to deal with it by not having the apps on my phone.

00:42:35.000 And also, I don't care.

00:42:38.000 It's kind of an extra boost.

00:42:41.000 In fact, I like it when they write about things we have to say.

00:42:46.000 I don't actually, this is a very interesting point.

00:42:50.000 The things that bother me the most are the misrepresentations of what I have to say.

00:42:55.000 You see, when the Daily Mail and all these news outlets wrote accurately what I had to say about Megan Markle and Prince Harry, it's like, this is a perfect article.

00:43:08.000 People are texting it to me and they're saying, wow, the Daily Mail has.

00:43:11.000 It's exactly what I said.

00:43:11.000 I'm like, it's perfect.

00:43:13.000 If I would have wanted to correct it, I would have done that.

00:43:16.000 But what I don't like is when people misrepresent what I have to say or they misrepresent who I am.

00:43:21.000 That bothers me.

00:43:23.000 But for Taylor Lorenz, she brings up a point that is very interesting, which is that the ruling class is so deeply unhappy, and they're unhappy because they don't have wisdom.

00:43:36.000 Cheerfulness is a byproduct of wisdom.

00:43:39.000 They're also unhappy because they don't have purpose.

00:43:42.000 And their purpose for the last couple years has been pathologically destroying Donald Trump because they thought of him as a Benito Mussolini figure.

00:43:48.000 So their identity was wrapped up in this moral high ground that every action they took, every flight that they flew on, every meal they ate, every tweet they sent, they felt as if this is our Mussolini moment.

00:44:07.000 We will take him over and we will be known as the good guys.

00:44:10.000 And they realize Trump is gone and their life is devoid of purpose, meaning, shallow, empty.

00:44:19.000 So many of these people are now looking for a new enemy, antagonist is a good word, to fill that void.

00:44:30.000 So how do they fill the void?

00:44:33.000 The oppression Olympics.

00:44:35.000 You see, college campuses are not good at a lot of things, but they produce oppressed Olympians better than I've ever seen. 0.71

00:44:44.000 So here's how the oppression Olympics work: it's a competition of who can get the most virtue-signaling points. 0.66

00:44:55.000 If you're a black lesbian woman in a wheelchair, you are by definition more oppressed in the hierarchy of the left than a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant male. 0.98

00:45:14.000 And if you dare challenge any of this oppression Olympic nonsense, we're going to call you the R-word. 0.98

00:45:22.000 You see, this is where the broader population of our country needs to mock and reject people all up and down the chattering class and the activist media and the Netflix Hulu paramount production class.

00:45:45.000 Anytime that they try to say, feel sorry for us, life is so hard. 0.53

00:45:50.000 You know who we should feel sorry for?

00:45:54.000 The people that could truly participate in the victim Olympics.

00:46:00.000 How about the 40,000 families that lost loved ones to opioid addiction last year?

00:46:10.000 I think that those families probably had a more difficult year than Taylor Lorenz, who probably earned six figures a year to go write mountains of drivel for the New York Times. 0.99

00:46:23.000 You see, second wave feminism for a brief moment was about rising above your circumstances, being tougher.

00:46:35.000 What college campuses should do, which they don't do, is teach young people that the world is a dark and uncertain place.

00:46:46.000 We are going to make you tougher and more capable and more able to deal with the inevitable suffering of life and rise above your circumstances.

00:46:57.000 Instead, college does the opposite.

00:47:00.000 And after college, our whole media says, let's teach you how to complain and remove anything in your life around you that you don't like and turn you into an activist.

00:47:12.000 A common point of concern is what's happening on the southern border, and we've built that out in great detail.

00:47:21.000 And one of our listeners here says, Charlie, both the right and the left are to blame for what's happening on the southern border.

00:47:28.000 And the answer is absolutely correct.

00:47:31.000 And so the Republicans have decided to do nothing when it comes to the southern border because the Chamber of Commerce, the national chamber of commerce, not your local chamber of commerce, has been demanding cheap labor for decades.

00:47:47.000 And then you have a flow of cheap labor, an unregistered border jumping class, which then becomes illegally domiciled into our country, taking work from Americans.

00:47:58.000 And that's one of the biggest lies that I hear.

00:48:01.000 I heard this from a ruling class member recently at an undisclosed location.

00:48:08.000 He says, Charlie, I listened to your program.

00:48:10.000 I listened to your podcast.

00:48:14.000 He was very complimentary, and he does listen.

00:48:18.000 He said, but I have to tell you, all my years of business, all my years of doing merger and acquisitions, building companies, and he has a very, very impressive career. 1.00

00:48:37.000 He said, Mexicans, Nicaraguans, and El Salvadorians and Hondurans are doing jobs Americans don't want to do. 0.89

00:48:50.000 I'm sure you've heard this before from your friends or from popular media.

00:48:55.000 In fact, the liberals will commonly say, the leftists, I should say, and even the Chamber of Commerce types, they'll say, well, who's going to pick your vegetables?

00:49:05.000 Well, first of all, that's an incredibly racist thing to say, to think that the only thing a border jumper is capable of doing is picking vegetables.

00:49:13.000 You are now implying a racial stereotype that I'm not.

00:49:17.000 So the onus of racism is on you.

00:49:22.000 But the question should be, what did we do on our country before we had a porous southern border?

00:49:27.000 How did we get all this stuff done prior to that?

00:49:32.000 Well, H.W. Bush, from president from 1988 to 1992, changed immigration law forever.

00:49:39.000 Ronald Reagan's single greatest failure was, I think it was the Simpson Mazzoli. 0.91

00:49:46.000 We talked about this a couple weeks ago.

00:49:47.000 There's so many of these commissions, McCain Feingold, Simpson Bowles.

00:49:53.000 I think it's Simpson Mazzoli, 1986, 1987.

00:49:56.000 Reagan even said it was his biggest mistake.

00:49:59.000 Ronald Reagan said himself this was his biggest failure as president.

00:50:05.000 Yeah, it was Simpson.

00:50:06.000 Ha ha.

00:50:07.000 Where he basically granted amnesty to millions of people.

00:50:12.000 It was a lot more complicated than that, but I'm paraphrasing the essence of the bill.

00:50:17.000 Then H.W. Bush said, you know what the problem with America is?

00:50:20.000 The problem in America is not the declining middle class.

00:50:27.000 It's not reckless, endless wars. 0.84

00:50:29.000 Now, remember, H.W. Bush was president during a very consequential moment in human history.

00:50:34.000 It was the end of the Soviet Union.

00:50:37.000 So here's a trivia question for you.

00:50:39.000 What did H.W. Bush say?

00:50:40.000 What speech did he give when the Berlin Wall fell?

00:50:47.000 And if you're struggling to remember, you're right.

00:50:51.000 He didn't give a speech.

00:50:53.000 In fact, Peggy Noonan, who is an establishment Republican biographer who writes for the Wall Street Journal, very smart, but she was very nasty to Trump in the last couple of years, and they were feuding back and forth.

00:51:08.000 But she was also a biographer of Ronald Reagan, H.W. Bush, very, very, very smart woman.

00:51:14.000 Recently, she allowed Trump to get to her and vice versa. 0.67

00:51:17.000 However, she has a great quote, and she was a speechwriter for Reagan.

00:51:22.000 She has phenomenal diction, word selection.

00:51:24.000 It's just terrific. 0.99

00:51:27.000 Albeit very, very foolish at times in her approach to Trump. 0.94

00:51:32.000 But she says, according to all sources, H.W. Bush did not want to give a speech after the Berlin Wall fell because he, quote, did not want to rub it in. 0.97

00:51:46.000 What an unbelievable missed opportunity.

00:51:49.000 We beat Soviet communism based on a theological debate, the theological debate of the Soviets.

00:51:57.000 Their position was that Stalinism and Leninism and Mother Russia is the ultimate good, and everyone must do what they can to preserve and protect it.

00:52:06.000 Our theological perspective is that we are in a vertical relationship as human beings with God first, then country, family, individual.

00:52:20.000 And there's a very important takeaway here to what H.W. Bush did next.

00:52:25.000 And I'm going to debunk this idea of, well, Americans aren't going to do these jobs.

00:52:31.000 The opposite is the truth.

00:52:32.000 And I can prove it to you.

00:52:34.000 CharlieKirk.com is the place for all the latest news and information.

00:52:38.000 You guys should make CharlieKirk.com your homepage.

00:52:47.000 I have my latest piece on the 2,000-plus-year-old playbook for you to check out.

00:52:55.000 In fact, I can read some pieces here from CharlieKirk.com.

00:52:58.000 Do you know that 25% of all the border jumpers that have come into the United States have tested positive for the Chinese coronavirus?

00:53:09.000 Some prosecutors have signaled that they might want charges for Governor Whitmer.

00:53:16.000 And Joe Biden's Department of Justice nominee fell for the smolet hate hoax and said police were, quote, demonizing survivors.

00:53:25.000 All of that and more on CharlieKirk.com.

00:53:27.000 It should be your launching off point for all of our podcasts.

00:53:33.000 Latest news information, if you want to support us, you can do that there as well.

00:53:36.000 So check it out, CharlieKirk.com.

00:53:40.000 Okay.

00:53:42.000 We hear from people all the time. 0.72

00:53:46.000 There are jobs that Americans won't do.

00:53:50.000 We need immigrants because they will fill gaps in the labor market, gaps in the labor force. 0.97

00:54:03.000 When a study actually goes to show that many of the jobs that we stereotype immigrants to go into are actually more dominated by Americans than not.

00:54:12.000 Do you know that 73% of all janitors are native-born?

00:54:16.000 65% of all construction workers are native-born.

00:54:20.000 66% of all grounds and maintenance workers are native-born.

00:54:24.000 64% of all butchers and meat processors are native-born.

00:54:28.000 And I'm reading here, I believe, from the Center for Immigration Studies, I think.

00:54:33.000 Taxi drivers and chauffeurs, 54% native-born.

00:54:39.000 What the real discussion is, is not what Americans are willing or unwilling to do.

00:54:44.000 The question is, are they willing to do it at that wage?

00:54:49.000 Are they willing to do that job to be able to support a middle-class lifestyle?

00:54:57.000 There are 65 occupations in the United States in which 25% or more of the workers are immigrants, both legal and illegal. 0.80

00:55:06.000 I don't consider illegals to be immigrants.

00:55:09.000 In these high immigrant occupations, there are still 16.5 million natives, accounting for one out of eight natives in the labor force.

00:55:21.000 If you are over the age of 40, your high school experience was completely and totally different than mine, and especially to what high schoolers are doing right now.

00:55:34.000 If you talk to a group of people between the ages of 45 to 60 and you ask them, how many of you had a high school job?

00:55:42.000 Almost every single hand will go up.

00:55:44.000 Both my parents did.

00:55:46.000 I did not. 0.93

00:55:49.000 Now, what H.W. Bush did in the early 90s, Soviet Union falls.

00:55:55.000 So you see, H.W. Bush believed that the two biggest problems that America needed to solve is that we were not currently in enough wars and we did not have enough foreigners.

00:56:07.000 H.W. Bush was very worried about that.

00:56:10.000 So he eroded American sovereignty.

00:56:14.000 He did some good things too.

00:56:15.000 He put Clarence Thomas on the U.S. Supreme Court, who has been a phenomenal justice.

00:56:22.000 And remember, H.W. Bush started the Central Intelligence Agency.

00:56:25.000 He was one of the first people to run it.

00:56:26.000 And what did H.W. Bush do before he ran the CIA?

00:56:31.000 Oh, he was in China.

00:56:34.000 Interesting history.

00:56:35.000 So H.W. Bush changed our immigration policies forever.

00:56:40.000 So I was born in 1993.

00:56:45.000 H.W. Bush, and we'll get the exact number.

00:56:47.000 I think at its height in the early 90s, we were bringing in 1.2 million people legally into America per year, not including illegal crossing into America.

00:57:00.000 And so as a consequence of that, I was born in 93.

00:57:04.000 12 years later in 2005, we kept up those policies, 2005, 2007.

00:57:13.000 My local community, the Wheeling, Arlington Heights, Schomburg area, they didn't need high school workers.

00:57:24.000 The local movie theater, the local manufacturing plant, they were able to get by without having 14, 15, 16, and 17-year-olds come chip in over the summer.

00:57:35.000 Now, there's a positive to part of that, and I'm willing to admit it.

00:57:39.000 I was able to play AAU basketball.

00:57:41.000 I was able to become an Eagle Scout.

00:57:43.000 I was able to do other recreational activities other than working with my hands and working at a movie theater, working at a restaurant, whatever it might be, low-wage work, but introductory work that would build character.

00:57:58.000 I could tell you this, though, that the vast majority of people in my high school would have benefited from the experience of a high school job rather than a recreational summer.

00:58:09.000 What I did with my time in high school was a much different allocation of time than most.

00:58:16.000 I didn't sit around and play video games or endlessly ride my bike chasing after whatever, where most people in my high school did that.

00:58:25.000 They were idle or sedentary.

00:58:26.000 And the people that did end up getting high school jobs, because they were a few, they were the ones that really needed the money.

00:58:34.000 You see, parents used to have their kids work high school jobs, not because the family necessarily needed the money, but because they knew it was good for them and the community needed the labor.

00:58:45.000 So we have these unbelievably generous and relaxed immigration policies for 15, 20 years.

00:58:54.000 And we basically created a system where high schoolers did not need to enter the labor force.

00:59:01.000 So, some high schoolers, like myself and some of the people that work with us at Turning Point USA, that idle time ended up being a phenomenal blessing for us.

00:59:11.000 I'm not saying that high school work would have been awful, but I don't think I would have been able to do football, basketball, marching band, three different instruments, Eagle Scout, and then in my spare time, eventually start the beginning stages of Turning Point USA.

00:59:26.000 Not even close if I had to also do a high school job.

00:59:30.000 So, for people like me, it allowed me some extra time to get into what I really enjoyed and I had a skill towards.

00:59:39.000 The vast majority of students I grew up in would be better today if they would have been a lifeguard working at a movie theater or a waitress or cleaning dishes instead of playing video games when they were 16 years old.

00:59:56.000 So, this idea that Americans won't do the work is not true.

01:00:01.000 And I could prove it to you. 0.97

01:00:04.000 Over the last year, President Trump signed an immigration moratorium into our country, and I'm glad he did.

01:00:12.000 Because of this, South Dakota was facing a labor shortage.

01:00:18.000 Now, one of the best governors in the country, if not the best governor, Christy Noam, who's tied, I think, with Ron DeSantis, they're terrific.

01:00:26.000 She realized that she was not going to have seasonal work visas.

01:00:31.000 She realized she was not going to have this influx of cheap labor coming into South Dakota to help in the work for the summer, which is not as much work, but the fall is a lot of work.

01:00:44.000 It's a lot of work in South Dakota.

01:00:46.000 If you do not have the hands to help you in South Dakota in the fall, you could lose your whole savings.

01:00:53.000 The food supply line could fall apart.

01:00:56.000 But according to Governor Christy Noam, who we sat with on an interview, I believe it was July 2nd, where she said on the podcast that every single job was filled by older South Dakotans and younger South Dakotans.

01:01:11.000 16, 17, and 18-year-olds were forced to put the video games on hold, and they went into the fields and went to work.

01:01:21.000 And by accident, what was proven is that the labor is there.

01:01:27.000 The skills are even there to do it.

01:01:30.000 Just all of a sudden, there was a demand, not the type of demand that you would know or think of traditionally in economics, but there was pressure to put young American students to work.

01:01:45.000 And so, this lie that exists that there are jobs Americans won't do, Americans won't do, is only true if you say that Americans don't want to do the job with no increase in wage ever while also affording themselves to have a permanent middle-class lifestyle.

01:02:03.000 And so, we have seen the consequence of this, what happens.

01:02:06.000 And these two issues are the two issues that Donald Trump hit perfectly.

01:02:10.000 And I wrote about this in the MAGA doctrine, and they are directly tied together.

01:02:17.000 And the two issues that Republicans were told to never mention, keep it as is, everything is wonderful, sit down and shut up and enjoy your endless piles of plastic from Wuhan.

01:02:32.000 And don't say anything when your cousins are overdosing on meth.

01:02:36.000 And the two issues were immigration and trade.

01:02:39.000 Those are the two issues that we as conservatives were never allowed to talk about.

01:02:45.000 Funded by think tanks, pundits, prognosticators, there was zero intellectual flexibility for us to ever talk about those issues.

01:02:54.000 There is no place for robust debate and dialogue.

01:02:57.000 There is no place for discussion.

01:02:59.000 You want to talk about intolerance?

01:03:01.000 The conservative movement was intolerant towards discussion prior to Trump when it came to immigration and trade.

01:03:08.000 You were mocked, called a Luddite, a draconian, a protectionist, a Herbert Hooverite.

01:03:16.000 It was pathological in nature, quite honestly, because it was funded by corporations that were benefiting through big immigration and big internationalist trade.

01:03:27.000 And Donald Trump comes on the stage and unapologetically offers a factual, evidence-based, and experience-based critique against this system.

01:03:38.000 And quite honestly, he liberated my conversation and people for us to finally realize that the system of international and endless trade and open borders and millions of people coming into the country, it might have some positives, such as we have a bunch of plastic that we're never going to use and we don't appreciate, so we have to go buy self-storage units to just be able to get rid of the amounts of clothes that we don't wear and things we don't actually revere.

01:04:05.000 I guess that's a positive, but the cost might actually have been greater than the positive.

01:04:10.000 And the cost was the complete and total destruction of the middle part of our country, Southeast Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, the entire Appalachia region.

01:04:22.000 And my friend JD Vance wrote about this extensively in the book Hillbilly Elegy.

01:04:28.000 And so now we have the question in our current political system: are we going to now go back to embracing the dogmatic corporate belief that open borders and free trade is always correct?

01:04:48.000 A story that I want to focus on is one of the worst governors in America.

01:04:55.000 So we got our list of bad governors, J.B. Pritzker, Andrew Cuomo, and of course, Gavin Newsom.

01:05:06.000 Gavin Newsom is under the gun.

01:05:09.000 Gavin Newsom is facing a very serious and credible recall threat.

01:05:14.000 Gavin Newsom, very well might be recalled for his handling of the Chinese coronavirus.

01:05:22.000 Gavin Newsom very well might lose the recall.

01:05:26.000 Let's go to Cut 34, where Gavin Newsom says he made some mistakes.

01:05:31.000 That is putting it lightly.

01:05:34.000 Play tape.

01:05:35.000 We've made mistakes.

01:05:36.000 I have made mistakes, but we own them.

01:05:39.000 We learn from them.

01:05:40.000 And we never stop trying.

01:05:42.000 After all, that's the California spirit.

01:05:45.000 We're bent, but not broken.

01:05:47.000 Bloodied, but unbowed.

01:05:49.000 Resolved to make brighter days ahead and not to let the pain of last year deter us from the hopefulness of tomorrow.

01:05:57.000 I'm not exactly sure what he thought he would accomplish by rubbing it in the face that Dodger Stadium is completely empty and open.

01:06:04.000 But nevertheless, Gavin Newsom gave those remarks there.

01:06:07.000 Gavin Newsom in Cut 35 says that he is focusing on staying determined and that the partisan power grabs are trying to destruct from their recovery.

01:06:17.000 Cut 35.

01:06:18.000 Look, the state of our state, it remains determined.

01:06:21.000 I remain determined.

01:06:23.000 And I just want you to know, we're not going to change course just because of a few naysayers and doomstayers.

01:06:29.000 So to the California critics out there who are promoting partisan political power grabs with outdated prejudices and rejecting everything that makes California truly great, we say this.

01:06:42.000 We will not be distracted from getting shots in arms and our economy booming again.

01:06:47.000 This is a fight for California's future.

01:06:51.000 Gavin Newsom looks very nervous.

01:06:57.000 Gavin Newsom will be recalled.

01:07:01.000 Now, whether or not he wins or loses the recall is a different thing.

01:07:04.000 I'm saying he's going to have to participate in a recall.

01:07:08.000 And over 2 million people currently have signed the recall petition.

01:07:14.000 As we accurately predicted here on the Charlie Kirk show, the Gavin Newsom team is going to spend millions of dollars on a certain and specific activity.

01:07:27.000 Signature verification.

01:07:29.000 You see, the Newsom team is worried that people who aren't who they say they are have been filling in signatures to recall Gavin Newsom.

01:07:40.000 You see, Gavin Newsom is very worried about signature fraud.

01:07:47.000 Gavin Newsom and the California Democrats of Kamala Harris previously and Nancy Pelosi and Eric Fang Swawell are very focused on voter and signature integrity.

01:08:05.000 And the irony of all this is now that we have forced the recall, which is a great lesson for all of you out there.

01:08:10.000 People say, what do we do?

01:08:11.000 And I want to give a thanks and a congratulations and an applause and a reinforcement and an encouragement to the California Republicans out there.

01:08:19.000 God bless you guys.

01:08:20.000 I spend a lot of time in California.

01:08:22.000 We do a lot of things in California, and my relationship with the California Franchise Tax Board proves that.

01:08:28.000 But I have so much respect for the patriots in California, the pastors in California, Rob McCoy, Jack Hibbs, James Cadiz, Juergen, Greg Denham, and I will be in San Marcos, California this weekend at Rise Church.

01:08:43.000 That's what it's called.

01:08:44.000 Rise Church, Greg Denham's Church.

01:08:45.000 So check it out.

01:08:46.000 We're doing three services.

01:08:48.000 Because this recall against Gavin Newsom, whether it succeeds or not, is awesome.

01:08:55.000 Everything about it.

01:08:57.000 It shows that you haven't given up.

01:08:59.000 It shows that you can challenge tyranny.

01:09:01.000 It shows that you can get Gavin Newsom to look a little nervous and push back.

01:09:06.000 Make them uncomfortable.

01:09:08.000 And of course, Andrew Colvet, producer Andrew, he actually asked me just to mention him.

01:09:16.000 So congratulations, Andrew.

01:09:17.000 You're doing a wonderful job holding down the fort in the great state of California, the once great state of California.

01:09:25.000 I love this story.

01:09:28.000 It's completely irrelevant of whether or not the recall works or not.

01:09:33.000 It has put Democrats on defense, which is what we should be doing in every state.

01:09:38.000 And if you have not yet helped or participated in this recall, please go do that.

01:09:42.000 It's the moral thing to do.

01:09:48.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
